New trouble reopens old wounds. Their unstable three-way relationship threatens to collapse. Will Severin’s submissives be able to save him from self-destruction, or will they need to abandon the man they love?

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

So I am not going to lie and will totally admit that Sadists scare the ever loving crap outta me. I am sorry but this is a no pain kinda girl. Like I cry with a hang nail so yeah uhm no…..But this duets blurb and the covers made me beg and plead to read the first book. I finished reading it and was totally in love with a sadist. I have no clue how that even happened. When the ladies offered me book 2, I told my family I don’t care if they starve because I had a date with Sev, Ro and Min. I had to know what happened to my broken man and his 2 loves.

If you didn’t read book 1, then you can’t read any more. Nope sorry leave right the heck now. You gotta experience and fall in love with this broken, dominant alpha named Sev. You have to experience him and wanna throttle him like I did.

Book 2 starts literally right where book 1 ends…Sev, Min and Ro answering the door to find Sev’s long lost and very effed up little brother looking him in the eye. Seems the family got much worse after Sev’s forced departure from what we learn from Loic. Dude, I just wanted to cuddle the creepy guy with everything he lays out for Sev. But yeah then I remember he is creepy and kinda back away because..well…SEV and Ro.

Sev is a mess. He feels guilt for so many things…like why didn’t he go and help his family but he can’t really deal with any of that…because he has to deal with his love, Min but also with his other love Ro. Yeah like come on who wasn’t shocked and totally stoked for THESE scenes. I am with Min on that MM action #HAWT #More #DontStop

Our poly group have too learn a new dynamic…who is the boss of whom. Which sub is the top sub…fyi best banter with Ro and Min on that topic. But basically, they have too figure out a new Relationship. The 2 subs begin to doubt that they will be the one who can give Sev what he needs so we have too see the group struggle with that. But I loved that Sev KNEW. He is always afraid he isn’t a good Dom but he KNEW the instant his subs were lost or confused….dreamy sigh for dang sure! But him pushing his subs away made me get a bit angry at our hottie. Then him being a jackass at towards the end made me flip him off and I didn’t care if he was mad at me…he was being a DB to everyone!!

There is so much happening in this book…Sev doubting himself, the subs distracting their Dom, a creepy brother in the mix, family drama, love being expressed but the best part of the book for ME…the last chapter. To see Sev and all that he has been through and all the growth he has made….omg I want more. I am super greedy for this family.

Two writers in two countries transform into the super writing duo, Sparrow Beckett, each night after wrangling their housefuls of children and pets. They trade the cape and colorful tights for tattoos and cups of coffee then set out to create a world where readers fall in love with heroes and the women who willingly go to their knees for them. Their books are the products of two kinky minds who don’t take themselves too seriously.

Steve, the self-proclaimed Invisible Warrior, has not had a typical life. Trained by the VC Warriors, he still has to prove his worth, but with humor and sheer will, he refuses to give up.

In one afternoon, his life changes, as do the lives of three others. Steve Richardson has a serious choice to make between two women and someone who holds his heart like no other.

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

Holy crap.  Steve grew up and totally manned up.  I mean I will admit I was excited but a little worried because we never see Steve as an alpha guy.  The joker? Totally! But the alpha?  So I was super excited to SEE the story that Teresa was writing for us diehard fans.  Man, Blown away.  Steve totally knocked my socks off.

So Steve in typical form is given grief by the other warriors when gunshots are going off AT THE COMPOUND!!  Now what fool would even think about shooting up the Warriors Compound?  A stupid one for sure!!  Steve is sent in the save a woman who was trapped in a car when he finds out she is in labor.  The two have an instant chemistry and Steve is super attached right away to helping this girl and her child.

Mira has some secrets and is hoping she can hide safely in the Warrior compound until the arrival of her baby.  When she meets Steve, she can feel the connection but can’t accept it because of her family drama.

The drama between the two is awesome.  The more Steve and Mira fall for each other the more you see Steve stand up in a Warrior Way.  I mean even the other Warriors were stunned stupid at this new Alpha Steve.

Their love story is written perfect.  Steve is Steve and he says stupid things but Mira loves him for it.  She gives him the love and care he has never had other than the respect and care he has found in the Warrior compound.

The side story of new trainees doesn’t go over very well and we actually have some internal fighting between Warrior brothers over the new recruits….yikes!!!

Favorite scene : any with Steve sticking his foot in his mouth with Slade….it happens a lot and you will love them.

Kady:

My life is a complete and utter disaster.
One major screw up after another.
In other words – I’m trouble.

I attempted college, but made a mess of that scene, too. Chalk it up to yet another disappointment in my parents’ ever-growing list of Kady failures.
Deciding I needed an escape from reality, my best friend and I flew off to Europe, where we were going to have the time of our lives.

The only problem with that plan is that I ran out of money after two weeks, and now I’m stuck in Florence, Italy with no means of getting home.

See? Trouble finds me wherever I go.

Gavin:
All I ever wanted to do was play basketball.
It’s all I’m good at.

I bypassed college and went straight to the pros. I’ve been playing overseas in Italy for six months, gaining fame, fans and having fun.
There’s only one problem. I miss home. I’m not too big to admit I’m homesick for my family and friends.

But that all changed when I heard from Cade Griffin, a former college hoops star. He called and asked me to rescue his sister, Kadence, who’s stranded and alone here in Florence.

Seems easy enough, right?

Except for the fact that Kady Griffin is gorgeous, completely off-limits and a sweet disaster waiting to happen all over my life.

***SWEET DISASTER is a standalone novel and the fourth in The Sweetest Thing series. It can be read on its own or enjoyed with the other books in the series.

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

This is a wonderful addition to this series. It can be read as a stand-alone but if you have read the others you know a little about Kady. She’s Cades little sister and one thing is sure she doesn’t care for basketball or players especially after spending her entire life have to watch Cade play. Kady is a free spirit loves doing things her way and in her time however this tends to land her in trouble.

Kady finds herself on a different continent with little money, no ID and no passport. She does the only thing she can she calls her big brother to help her out. Although not happy about it Cade calls in a favor to a teammate who’s brother is in Italy to help her until she can get her passport and ID. Little does she know when she meets Gavin what is in store for her.

Gavin is a chiseled ball player with a great of gold and has a funny side. When he agrees to do a solid for his brother’s friend by taking in his sister he realizes quickly he has got his hands full. To Gavin Kady is OFF LIMITS no way can they hook up. It would cause too much drama between his brother and Kady’s brother. However, the feisty fearless and sexy bombshell living in his apartment may have other plans no matter what Gavin thinks.

The banter back and forth between these two was too funny. I was flipping the pages trying to figure out if they would hook up or would the disaster that follows Kady strike again. I so want more of this Basketball series.

A few of my favorites:

“Eyes up here, dude,” she snaps her fingers in my face, drawing me out of the sensual trance. “I know I’ve got a great rack, and my girls are rather eye catching if I do say myself, but now’s not the time. There’s work to be done.” I’ll admit, all I heard from her was rack and now’s not the time. Which translated in my sex addled brain means that there might be another time. As in not right now, but later maybe. Which give me some ideas.

I rub my thumb over my lips and feel the ghost of her warm mouth lingering. Damn, she even tastes like a peach. Who said apples are the only forbidden fruit?

Kady Griffin is a beautiful mess and has no idea the kind of destruction she leaves behind in her wake. Sweet disaster is written all over her.

There’s only one word to describe everything we’ve done and shared the last two days: foreplay. The easy banter we’ve exchanged the risqué encounters. And now the intense physical connection between us as our bodies move in time with one another. It’s built as unstoppable magnetic force, charging between us.

“Whoa there, cowboy. Don’t go throwing me off just yet. I’m not done with my ride.”

She’s perfectly uninhibited. Spunky and spirited. Kady carries an inner light that blazes so bright, it’ll either warm you from the glow or burn you form intensity of her heat.

BRIELLE
Technically, I’m not a stripper. As a cage dancer, I don’t take all my clothes off and no one gets to touch me. I’m just the eye-candy.
And I can feel their eyes on me. I know they’re watching, but I don’t do this for them.
This is my time.
My life may not have turned out the way I thought it would, but I’m not complaining. From 9pm to 1am several days a week I get paid to feel sexy, to feel desired, to do what I love.
I always knew I wanted to be a dancer—I just didn’t realize I’d be doing it in a cage.

COLTON
Erectile dysfunction—two words that can cause a collective cringe from men everywhere. The doctors can call it ‘performance anxiety’ all they want, but that’s just a fancy way of saying my dick doesn’t work.
Just when I start to think there’s no hope for me, I see her. She’s gorgeous, sexy, and goofy as f*ck. She also looks really familiar but I can’t put my finger on it.
When I find out who she really is, my world is turned upside-down and everything seems to fall into place.
She’s not gonna make it easy for me, but I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge. She’s convinced I won’t stick around.
I’ll prove her wrong.
I’ll show her I’m one of the good guys.

I purchased this book.

After reading Travis and Angel’s story I was so excited to start Colton’s.  I said SCREW my reading schedule and dived right in.  I gotta admit seeing him get a prescription of Viagra at the end of the last book had me in a fit of giggles so that was PART of why I wanted to read.

Colton has seen his fair share of ladies and dated all the worse ones.  After his latest breakup, he seems to find that he can’t “rise to the occasion”.  He is pretty upset as any 22-year-old man would be.  After celebrating his birthday with his best friends, he sees a woman who makes things “work” again.

Bree is dancing at the club after a long shift when she enjoys some dancing with a random stranger who isn’t so much a strange as she thought.  This stranger is her long lost best childhood friend who left her broken hearted when he moved away.

I loved the story of the two.  I loved how they were catching up but also falling head over heels in love.  Ava was a scene stealer for sure.  She knew what everyone needed at the right time.  She made my heart a gushy mess.

The couple have a few obstacles because of Bree’s insecurities with herself.  Colton will not let his love go and being the overly bossy man he is, he does everything he can to show his best friend and soul mate she is what he needs and wants.

I loved seeing the gushy side of Colton especially after his little jabs to Travis in the first book but knowing he too was coveting what his best friend had found in Angel.

Jamie Schlosser grew up on a farm in Illinois surrounded by cornfields. Although she no longer lives in the country, her dream is to return to rural living someday. As a stay-at-home mom, she spends most of her days running back and forth between her two wonderful kids and her laptop. She loves her family, iced coffee, and happily-everafters.

Synopsis

The Island

Welcome to the island.
This is no fantasy.
You’ll face fears.
You’ll face travesty.
You’ll face yourself.

One deserted island.
Two heinous crimes.
Two convicted hearts.

When decent people do bad things,
there’s only one place for forgiveness:
Redemption Island.

The island knows what you’ve done.

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

I am at a loss for words…this book.  It is soooo very different from anything I have read by her.  Its dark, gritty and gets in your head as to the how’s and why’s of people.   It kinda freaked me out because I wondered if this was all real or some kinda crazy head game.

Tack and Juliette are both sentenced to the island to repent for their crimes.  They both are guilty of crimes that are inter connected but neither knows the other will be there.  They both are sentenced to one year in what they presume is solidary confinement.  When they stumble on the other, it’s a  hot mess because we, the reader, don’t really know the story.  As the book unfolds and our characters let us in…holy shit is all I could say.

Tack has always been the golden boy who gets caught being not so good.  Juliette is the little mouse in the middle of the games Tack is playing with his friends but her retaliation is what gets her in trouble.  This book is crazy good.  I couldn’t put it down because I was seriously like “Wait how can you consider this guy after he did this stuff.” And then I was like “wait after you did this stuff you are going to pick her wild flowers and offer her steak!”  GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book gets in your head because the dark content makes you not want to see these two together but then again they are both in need of love, care and compassion that how can you not what them to be together…….Gosh so mind boggling!!

I am eager to read book 2 in October because the ending leaves you going WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

I love Highland Romances.  I love Historical Romances so to take this book was an easy pick for me!!

This book is told in 2 parts.  Part one was a nice, slow ,and steady pace of a book where our couple are getting to know each other.

This book is about Alexander who has no clue about his heritage because his mother sent him away to live with the monks to protect him.  He is forced to go into the “world” by his mentor before he takes his vows.  Father Gregory has his go to help another Highlands family.  The eldest son needs a Tudor.    Once Alexander arrives his heart is conflicted between what he was raised to belied and his wants and desires of Lady Sibylla.  The couple have a few scenes where she is making him face what he wants and what he feels he needs.    While we have all of this happening, Alexander is discovering is true heritage.  Lemme tell ya it’s a great one!!

Part two if the book is where a lot of things begin to happen and to be honest I started to get a little bit confused because soooo many names are being thrown at you.  We also don’t really see our main couple together much and when we do it seemed rushed toward the end.  I felt like the end of the book should have said to be continued?????  I am hoping for more from this couple because I totally enjoyed it.  Plus, I didn’t feel that Alexander’s story is finished?????

Even though the book was fast paced and “busy” I did enjoy it and I am looking forward to knowing what happened to Sibylla’s family.  I also would love to know if the visions of Sibylla and Alexanders future will hold true!!

ANGEL
I know what you’re whispering in the car as you pass me by.
Hitchhiker.
When you see me walking along the side of the road with my thumb out, you’ll probably keep driving without giving me a second glance. You probably think I’m foolish. Naïve.
You might assume I’ve made some bad decisions.
You might think I’m too young to be on my own.
You might be right.
TRAVIS
I love my job, but driving an eighteen-wheeler comes with a certain stereotype. When you hear I’m a trucker, a specific image might come to mind. Uneducated. Dirty. Perverted. Rough around the edges and a little bit dangerous.
But the truth is, I’m not any of those things. In fact, I’m pretty far from it.
You’d be surprised to find out I’m one of the good guys.

I purchased this book from Amazon.

I grabbed this book off Amazon when it was on sale or free…yikes I can’t remember to be honest BUT I grabbed it because I was going to be meeting the author at a charity Book signing.

This blurb of the book totally intrigues me.  Because yes I too imagine a trucker to be an old man with a beer belly and log ZZ Top beard….lol…

So our book is about Travis who is one of the nicest guys you can find who just hasn’t met “the one” and is all about doing his job.  He has dated but they just seem to be one disaster after another.

Angel has lost everyone in her family but holds out hope that her mom and her can reconcile when she is released from prison.  Angel’s hope and dream is what caused her and Travis to meet on a road way.  She was hitching a ride when the good guy in him goes to protect this young woman on the road.

The couple are attracted to each other but they both feel the other isn’t feeling it in return.  As they get to know each other since Angel will be staying with Travis and his roomie Colton, they form a strong relationship.  Granted a jealous wanna be girlfriend causes issues but the two fight to make something out of this bond.

Angel finds her heart is more in love with Travis and the town but needs to go and see if her and her mom can be a family.  Travis is torn because he loves Angel but understands her needs and desires.

I loved the last chapter and was excited to read the sneak peek into Colt’s book.  That guy is in need of some real genuine love……the kind that Travis and Angel have.

Review by Jordan

“Far from crazy, but equally as far from normal. There are voices in my head and I occasionally talk to them.” – Kristie Haigwood

K. S. Haigwood is the author of the Save My Soul, Eternal Island and Moonrising series. By day, she is a CNC Machinist, but by night and weekend, she saves the world or destroys it in a single bound, depending on what mood she is in and if she has had her coffee. In addition to being an award winner for the ‘Life Changing Read Award’, she has also been nominated twice for Best Indie Book 2016 in the Paranormal category.

Characterization is one of K.S. Haigwood’s strongest points. You can understand each characters’ predicaments and you can almost foresee their reactions. But. There’s always a but, with this author, because Haigwood can deliver enough twists and turns to turn a tornado on its head. Just as you think you’ve figured where the story is going next, she’s duped you again.

The whole of her novels are littered with good chuckle moments, and even in the darkest hour, the thinnest hint of a silver lining is still visible among the clouds.

Shock therapy for body and soul, delivered at a hundred miles an hour with the humor and charisma of a trendsetter, Haigwood is certain to be hailed the new wonder-drug to cure all ills.

Ella Medler is a U.K. author and editor who lives in a corner of Heaven, on the south-west coast of Ireland, overlooking the Atlantic. She writes fiction in many genres — some after her own tastes, and some to make her readers happy. Sometimes, those two happen to coincide.

A fierce supporter of genuine talent, Ella Medler founded Paper Gold Publishing, a modern-day publisher with old-fashioned values, because she believes there are authors out there who deserve a chance to shine, authors who would otherwise fall between the cracks of a crumbling, forever-shifting industry.

As an editor, Ella Medler has the tendency to nit-pick on plot issues while ignoring the type of rule that doesn’t allow for a sentence to be finished in a preposition.

Ella Medler is active on all social media platforms, so all you have to do to find her is Google her name. She’d like to hear from you, whether you are a reader, a fellow editor or author, or another player in this publishing game.
