LICENSE TO SHIFT by Kathy Lyons (October 4, 2016; Forever Yours eBook; $1.99; Grizzlies Gone Wild Book 2)

The second book in a wild shifter series from USA TODAY bestselling author Kathy Lyons.

Bear meets girl…

Julie Simon returns to Saginaw, Michigan, to find her ailing father’s missing research on local shapeshifter lore. Unlucky for her, the only person who can help her is the darkly sexy Mark Robertson, the guy who spent an entire summer giving her the cold shoulder—and one white-hot night of pleasure…

Mark is a hair’s breadth away from going feral. Soon, his grizzly side will destroy everything that makes him a man. And after years of fighting, Mark is ready to give in to the beast. Then Julie—the gorgeous, curvy book nerd who awakened his most primal desires as a young man—shows up at his door. Now, he’s fighting an insatiable longing to claim her as his mate. But Julie isn’t the only one after her father’s research. Someone—or something—evil is tracking Julie’s every move…

I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

I loved the first book in the series but if you haven’t read it no worries. However ,in the first book, we meet Mark and know that he is dangerously close to becoming a feral grizzly. I really loved his grumpy demeanor and was excited to read his story. I wanted to know how he would be ”saved”.

The story starts out GREAT…Mark on the edge of never coming back when he answers his door stark naked to see HER. The girl that he has loved and feared since he was 16, Julie. Julie is not a shifter or from his community but his grizzly has known she was the one for him.

I loved the banter between the two. Julie perceives his lack of attention to him just being mean when in fact he was scared to death of how she made him feel. I loved how sweet and open Mark was with Julie and how he can get her to be super aggressive when she needs him.

I have to say I am a huge fan of the series and think each book gets better. I CAN NOT WAIT for Alan’s story. I fee so bad for what happened to him plus the rejection he feels from the one he loves and his grizzly pack.

#ReleaseBlitz #review #MM- Branded by Jenna Galicki

October 4, 2016 Angie J Leave a comment

Title: Branded

Series: Bulletproof #2

Author: Jenna Galicki

Genre: M/M Adult Contemporary Romance

Release Date: October 4, 2016

Blurb

It was a chance meeting in paradise that caused them to cross paths. Destiny brought them together.These two alpha males met with the force of a head-on collision. Sirens went off and lit up their hearts faster than a flashfire. But now that they’re living in the real world, everything isn’t as easy as anticipated. Other than their strong-willed and dominant personalities, they couldn’t be more opposite.

As the front man for a world-famous heavy metal band, Brandon Bullet lives in the spotlight. He thrives on the attention of his fans and wild parties that all rock stars are accustomed to.

The free-spirited attitude and uninhibited lifestyle that is so natural to Brandon totally contradicts with Cameron Douglas’ anal-retentive, structured mindset. Spurred on by a thirst for adventure, Cameron’s ready to leave behind his sedate, low-key life, but he’s unprepared for the rock star’s world of free sex, drugs, and non-stop parties.

Concessions aren’t always easy when thrust into a new relationship, especially with two head-strong men who constantly challenge one another. Add time apart from Bulletproof’s promotional tour, and it’s another layer of adjustment to contend with that just may push this new relationship too far.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

AHHH Cam and Brandon. Their novella made the pages of my book melt with their chemistry and story book romance. I was so excited to get a full story for the 2 guys!! I mean more MM yumminess please!!

So this book is all about the guys trying to make it work one “real life” settles in. When they met it was vacation and fun but now its responsibilities, insecurities and job stress. The guys are amazing and I loved them a little bit more in my heart. I mean how do you not fall in love with them right??

Brandon the rocker and Cam the accountant have issues trying to work through how to keep this love alive and viable with everything else that keeps coming up. There was a bit where I felt the book angst drug a smidge with them trying to figure out how to make it work between the two of them but it didn’t distract from the story at all.

But if you are a fan of the novella or Jenna’s other series, then you will be happy to one click this hot rocker romance story!!

Excerpt

Cam gave the dog one last pat on the back, then turned his gaze on Brandon. He walked through the long entry hall with a swagger, which is why Brandon remained a good 10 feet away. He pretended it was because he didn’t want to get knocked over by a rambunctious 90-pound Lab, but he really wanted to see Cam’s long legs stride down the hall in that fucking hot as hell business suit. Tonight’s ensemble was navy blue with a lavender tie, which Cam had already loosened, and the top button of his shirt was open. As Cam sauntered closer, Brandon’s eyes kept falling to that sweet spot at the center of Cam’s throat that was peeking out of his shirt collar.

Cam gave Brandon the standard greeting – a rough set of hands holding Brandon’s face still while a thick, hungry tongue told him how much he was missed all day, but Brandon’s thoughts were on Cam’s neck. He grabbed hold of Cam’s wrists and pulled them lower. Cam thought it meant Brandon wanted to be groped, but he just wanted to suck the soft flesh of Cam’s throat.

The moan that echoed in the hallway was a mixture of both Brandon and Cam’s voices, which spun together like a harmonized melody.

“Was this my surprise?” Cam asked in wispy voice. “Because I’m not surprised at all that you have this effect on me.”

While browsing bookstore shelves as a teenager, Lo discovered the erotic writings of Anaïs Nin and A.N. Roquelaure. Certain her mother would not approve, Lo smuggled the books home and squirreled them away in the most likely of places: under her bed. Late at night, she delved into the sensual worlds both writers created.

As a co-ed studying biochemistry and genetics at Texas A&M University, Lo dabbled in creating naughty tales to entertain her friends. Study for a midterm or pen a deliciously dirty story to delight her small band of fans? Not surprisingly, Lo is now on an extended sabbatical from college.

Luckily, Lo stumbled onto the world of erotic romance publishers. She realized there were other readers and writers who loved and craved breathtaking romance with the spiciest of love scenes. She took a chance and submitted her first novella. The rest is history.

Lo lives in Texas with her husband, daughter and big blubbering Great Dane with mommy issues.

But Fate is a cruel mistress the two must fight. Will they survive the approaching Darkness that seeks to destroy them?

Goodreads

Amazon US

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

You have no idea how happy I was to see more of Sir and Brie. The wedding is over and now Thane has a whirlwind honeymoon full of surprises set for his Tia.

I have so many favorite scenes in this book one of which occurred on a train and another on a night boat ride. Can you see what I mean when I say they went on a whirlwind trip? Plus a bonus was being able to see a few of my favorites like Rytsar and Master Anderson.

Red Phoenix does a great job of keeping flipping the pages needing to know what will happen next. She also has a way of tossing in twists that twist my heart into a pretzel. The ending of this on has me in tears and in shock. I kept trying to turn more pages thinking if I kept trying more would appear. My heart is just a mess right now. I so excited and will have to patiently wait for A Cowboy’s Heart.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

OH Thane and Brie. It seems like the wedding was eons ago. I have been a very impatient subbie wanting to know about our honeymoon with Master. Of course the honeymoon was everything a girl could have dreamed of. Our couple were loving and bonding and exploring their commitment pluuuus hoping to put a lil baby Thane in Brie’s belly made this a great and sweet read….now don’t go thinking Red turned the heat down because she soooooo didn’t but the novel was just SWEET. All of us Brie lovers know how long we have waited for this moment…this time….THIS COUPLE to be married and together in this blissful state. The book made my heart sooo full and it made me fall in love with Thane all over again. Each gesture, kindness, naughtiness and look given to Brie by him *Dreamy Sigh*

We got to see our old favorites and celebrate with them over the couple and their nuptials. I gotta tell ya, much like Brie, I was super excited over the gift our favorite Russian Dom gave the couple and my reaction was the same as her after opening and realizing she has to wait to use it…OH DANG!!!

The last couple of chapters were tough…a lot of stuff happens that can tear our happy couple apart. I was so confused much like Brie. Could Thane have done something that will forever ruin their happiness or is there an evil person who is giving our couple a hard time all because of greed.

Typical Red fashion the story ends with us going NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we need another chapter, hell even just one more paragraph…forget it……. just a sentence!!! What an Evil Mistress she really is!!! J

#Review – Grit, King’s Harlots 1, by J.M. Walker

October 3, 2016 Kelly S Leave a comment

“An unexpected evil brings both the MC and Military world together in this brand new series by J.M. Walker”

He refuses to fall in love.

He was born alone and he will die alone. Or, at least he thought so until now.

Vice-One is all he knows. His squad. His brothers. The men he spends every day protecting. He is empty and only one person can fill this void. This darkness.

Meanwhile, Genevieve Gold makes it clear he should stay away when she is everything he craves.

She is lost.

Her heart has been ripped out; stomped on…crushed into tiny pieces, leaving only a gaping hole behind.

King’s Harlots is all she has. Her club. Her sisters. Her life. But something is missing until he shows up.

Angel Rodriguez is everything she hates but everything she needs.

Putting differences aside, they will work together to bring down a malevolent force threatening to rip them apart…

Goodreads

Amazon

Female MC’s and Alpha Military? Yes, please!!! O.M. Wow! Absolutely instense! The perfect set up for an incredible series. Alpha female and alpha male….who dominates?

Jay has grown up in the MC world and ends up starting her own female MC club. She has has so many things happen to her in the past that she closes people out but is fiercely loyal to the ones she loves. Angel is a Seal and is constantly being sent out on missions. He had a difficult childhood and with work he generally closes people out, except the ones he loves. On Angel’s downtime, him and his team do construction work. While working on Jay’s club there is an explosion, literally. The brief time that Angel and Jay met he has felt sort of protective of her. The explosion amplifies it. There are girls missing in the area and both are trying to get it sorted out. Both of their pasts creep up on them and things go chaotic. There are so many underlying secrets coming to light that will keep you glued to this story. There is no way you will put this down. From the HOT physical intensity to the chaotic story line to all the feels…….My only issue with the book is that it ended! Noooooo! This is the perfect storm for a crazy good, hot as hell story!

“A small smile crept on my face. He was adamant I would fall for him. Maybe he was right. But two could play that game. I was the creator of my own story, and no man was going to change that.”

“Angel Rodriguez was the epitome of every sinful desire I had. Every dark secret. Every fetish and fantasy. He dominated my body and took control, giving me the greatest pleasure in return.”

If you are still reading this you need to stop and one click this. One helluva ride! Woohoo!

J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who loves all things books, pigs and lip gloss. She is happily married to the man who inspires all of her Heroes and continues to make her weak in the knees every single day.

#Review – Type X (Project W.A.R. #2) by MA Phipps

October 2, 2016 Kelly S Leave a comment

No matter what I do, no matter what steps I take to avoid it, I’m always playing right into somebody’s hand.

Playing the role I was destined for.

Two years have passed since her willing return to the DSD, and Wynter Reeves is no longer the timid girl who only wanted to blend in. Strong, confidant, and in control of her once debilitating powers, the world trembles at her feet while news of what she’s capable of spreads like fire among the State’s enemies. As the death toll rises and Dr. Richter further warps her into a weapon of war, Wynter is forced to embrace the daunting reality of what she’s become. With the remnants of her humanity hanging on by a shoestring, she must choose between the one sacrifice that could lead to her salvation or the dark path of destruction from which there can be no return.

Torn between two sides of a war she never asked for, will Wynter find her freedom, or will she be doomed to remain a monster forever?

Goodreads

Amazon

Everything you could want from a Dystopian novel…and more. This picks up two years after Utraxenopia. In the first book Wynter doesn’t know exactly what is happening to her but sacrifices herself in order to save the ones she loves. After two years she has become the war weapon the DSD wanted. She has buried all her memories but things are coming to light once again. She has been saved from the DSD but only to find out that PHOENIX is not what it once was. What is the price of full control? Jenner, Ezra and Wynter are moving forward unraveling secret after secret and trying to piece this jigsaw puzzle together. What do you do when both sides are going after the same thing the same way?

“Death hangs like a fog, its presence nearly tangible in the molecules around me. In truth, I’m envious of its victims. Death would be an escape from this repetitive war and the nightmare that’s become my every waking moment.”

“Regardless of the visions—regardless of the multiple choices that stand in front of me— the only certain path for me in this life is death.”

“Are my visions set in stone? Will they happen no matter what I do? Or will they only occur because I’ve seen them? By bearing witness to the future, do I accidentally set the world on that course? Am I the cause? Or am I the effect?”

Wynter is constantly being plagued with what’s the right path and what’s the right answer. She is so back and forth on how to do the right thing. They get an unexpectd ally and unravel some incredible secrets. Cannot wait for #3!!!

#Review – Watch Me Rise SEQUEL TO NOVELLA “FEEL ME BREAK” By Tara R.

October 1, 2016 Kelly S Leave a comment

After the loss of her brother, Chloe Reed left Fairville for a fresh start. Now she is back to get answers to the questions surrounding her brother’s death. But coming back home isn’t easy, especially when it’s a home filled with painful memories, a home where her life was ripped apart. However, there is someone who has been stuck in her head for a long time who makes it all easy. Her knight in shining armor who saved her life two years ago. Nick Grayson. Except this time maybe he needs saving.

Nick Grayson is back in the town of Fairville where it all started. The town that left him with nothing but guilt and regret, the town where he destroyed a family. He met Chloe on the worst night of his life. He knows he doesn’t deserve her but he can’t stay away – and neither can she.

*NO CLIFFHANGER.*

Goodreads

Amazon

Before you start, grab your tissues and get ready for a rollercoaster of all the feels! First, you must read the novella, Feel Me Break. Unexpectedly, Nick saves Chloe by being in the right place at the right time. Neither of them could stop thinking about each other and out of nowhere they see each other again. Fate? Maybe. But a lot happens to each of them since that one meeting that changed their lives forever. “Disappointments, crushed hopes, regrets, guilt, loneliness…” Two years is a long time…Chloe has to go back to the one place she has been trying to stay away from…Home. Then they meet each other again! This is where things get messy. Both have lots of secrets. Many things that they don’t think they can get any help with. Both are punishing themselves for events that were out of their control. Slowly their lives unravel and the undeniable attraction cannot keep them apart.

“Everything I wanted was within my reach but instead of reaching for the stars, I got burnt by the sun and came crashing down.”

“It’s like the brightness of a kaleidoscope surging, the lightness in the bones when soaring high in the sky, the warmth of the first ray of sun that kisses your skin, a swelling symphony that can mend broken hearts. A feeling that’s giddy, complete , baffling and aware, thrilling and comforting ; a kind of love that soaks deep inside your bones, and lights fire to your soul and you feel it inside and outside you all the time.”

I have to be honest, I don’t usually go for this type of story but it is one of my favorites of all time. There are so many different things going on in the story. A lot of it hit home for me and made it all the more real and touching. These two are a definate must read. But take my advice and be ready for the feels because you are going to experience it all!

Tara lives in the lovely city of Toronto. An engineer during the day, she moonlights as a writer. Her favourite genres are romance, mystery and fantasy. She has been writing since she was 7 and her first story was about a spaceship (BIG Star Trek fan here).

When not working or writing, she catches up on her favourite shows on Netflix and spends time with family and friends.
