#REVIEW – Dirty (A Real Man, #8) by Jenika Snow

Leave a comment

I’m going to show her how good it can be to get dirty…

JOSEPHINE

Moving to a small town for a new job was the only thing I should be focused on. But the first time I see Gabe, all of that goes out the window. He’s the owner of a garage in the town I now call home, and picturing the filthy things he’d do to me with those grease-stained hands fills my head.

The way he looks at me makes me feel like a woman, like he’s undressing me with his eyes … like he could teach me a thing or two about what a real man does with a woman in his bed.

I don’t care if being with him is fast or sudden. I want him to devour me.

GABE

The first time I lay eyes on Josephine, I know she’ll be mine.

I won’t stop until she is.

I want to get my dirty hands all over her. I want to make that creamy pale skin of hers dark from grease, and red from holding onto her.

And I’ll do all of that, because there’s no way I’m backing off, not until I know I have her.

Warning: You like filthy and insta-love? Well, this story is full of it. If you’re into a hero who knows how to handle his woman, and a heroine who’s all about tall, dark, and dirty, you better hang on because this story will most definitely give you whiplash.

Twinsie Jo’s Review

Greasy mechanic. Innocent woman who’s new to town. What more could you ask for? Oh yes. Gabe is quite delicious and also super manly and alpha in the way that he wants Josephine. And of course, she wants him just the same and just as bad.

Instant love. Instant lust. Instant everything. These hot little stories have everything you could ask for all packed into 30k words or so. Lots of steam. A man who worships his woman and is proud to show it and her off.

#REVIEW – Feral (A Real Man, #7) by Jenika Snow

Leave a comment

She’s about to find out exactly how much he wants her…

LEXI

I’ve been fascinated with him for years.

He’s wild and lives alone, and everyone has been smart enough to keep their distance.

Except me, that is.

Until now.

I see something in him that I see in myself, and I want to explore that. He’s untamed and raw, and maybe dangerous.

But that’s exactly what I need.

It’s what I want.

DILLON

She shouldn’t have come to me, but now that she’s here, I can’t let her go.
I don’t do well around others, so going off the grid has been for the best.

What Lexi doesn’t know is that I’ve noticed her for years and wanted her as mine for just as long. It would be safer if I kept her at a distance, which I’ve managed to do … but I can’t anymore.

I won’t.

I hope she’s ready to be mine, because she’s about to see exactly how feral I can be where it concerns her.

Warning: This book is wild and dirty, short and smutty. Sure, it’s unbelievable, and features a celibate recluse who will make the woman he wants his at all costs, but who doesn’t like it that way? If you are into an over the top alpha hero, and some filthy goodness, dive in.

Twinsie Jo’s Review

I am obsessed with these short little reads that takes like an hour to read only cause I read extremely slow. These are a nice break between super long books or if you just want to curl up with a glass of wine, have a bath and read some super sexy words.

Dillon is feral. Literally. The title of the book says it all. Everyone in town is scared of him while Lexi isn’t. She sees something in him that she needs. Something that a part of her understands. She’s latched onto him and wants him just as much as he wants her.

When they finally admit their feelings for each other, passion ignites and lust explodes. It’s fun. It’s short. And it’s hot. It’s everything I need in this little books in between my own writing. Now onto the next one!

#REVIEW – Arrogant (A Real Man, 6) by Jenika Snow

Leave a comment

Even a bad boy can wear a suit and tie…

NOAH

All it took was one look at Harley to know I wanted her.

It wasn’t about the deliberate sexual dry spell I was going through either … the one I voluntarily participated in. No, there was something about her innocence and her vulnerability that had possessiveness running through my veins.

I wanted her as mine, and I’d have her. I’d show her that although I could be cruel to those who went up against me, when it came to her, I’d make the world bow down at her feet.

HARLEY

The position I had been offered was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it also came with working for a man who had the most notorious reputation in the city.

Noah Wright was anything but Mr. Right, especially not with his arrogant, unforgiving, and tyrannical attitude. He was wealthy and gorgeous, but he struck fear into people with just a look. They knew who held the power when he was in the room. So did I.

And I was now working for him and getting an up-close-and-personal experience with his cold, hardened, and abrasive personality … and it turned me on.

But there was something else under the frigid demeanor he showed everyone, a slice of warmth he showed only me. I knew if Noah wanted me, he could easily have me, because putting up a fight was not what I planned on doing.

I wanted him, but I wouldn’t be just a conquest.

Warning: Love insta-everything in a book? Like over-the-top sugary goodness? Want your stories dripping with cocky and possessive alpha heroes who only want one woman? Get a fan and a cold glass of water ready, because this story will definitely heat you up.

Twinsie Jo’s Review

Oh now this is what I’m talking about. I have an obsession with powerful dark brooding grumpy alphas. Noah is a highly successful business man who falls instantly for his new intern. And wow. The sparks that fly are something else. And when they finally do their thing?? Holy moly! *fans self*

Harley becomes an intern at Noah’s company and although he makes her nervous, she’s attracted to him.

This book is instant everything that I love and so hot. It’s definitely my favourite so far in the Real Man series.

#REVIEW – Roommate (A Real Man, 5) by Jenika Snow

Leave a comment

BRENDAN

I’ve done pretty damn well in hiding my feelings for her over the years, but having Meghan under the same roof as me, and only feet from my bed makes it hard to control myself.

The truth is when it comes to Meghan I don’t want to practice self-control. I love her.

MEGHAN

I’ve known him nearly my whole life. He’s cocky, gets under my skin, but is gorgeous and caring, too. And as much as I want to say it doesn’t affect me, I’d be lying.

The truth is I love him, and I don’t know if that’ll end up destroying me.

BRENDAN

She needed a place to stay, and now she’s got a roommate … me. But I’m about to show her that I want more than a friendly arrangement. Too much time has passed, and I’m done waiting. I’m ready to step up and be a man.

I’ve never been good at sharing, and when it comes to her, she’s mine.

Warning: You like short, hot, straight to the point stories? Do you want drama-free sexiness that leaves nothing to the imagination? Do you want a story that is pretty unbelievable, but gives you the warm fuzzies at the same time? Well then, leave your panties at the door because that’s what’s going down in this quickie.

Twinsie Jo’s Review

I’m a huge fan of these short hot reads and I find they just keep getting better and better.

Meghan and Brendan have been friends forever. And of course, they’ve been in love with each other but the other doesn’t know it. Well insert them having to move in together and BAM, pure hotness.

I especially liked when they started playing poker. That’s when the fun begins. I liked this one too because although it’s short like the others, it’s not over top. Although I do love me some over the top reads, this one was refreshing. Friends to lovers and it’s finest.

If you like quick short reads, you’ll love these books.

Just when I thought I had her, just when I thought I could finally allow myself that happiness I didn’t think I deserved. She was ripped from my hands…

#REVIEW – Experienced (Real Man #4) by Jenika Snow

Leave a comment

He’ll show her how a real man treats a woman…

SABINE

I’d never known how good it could feel to be taken care of by a man who knew what he was doing.

Until I was with Hugo…

HUGO

I was older than she was.

She was innocent, hadn’t experienced all that life had to offer.

I could give her that experience.

Sabine consumed my thoughts, made me desire nothing else but her. No other woman compared to her, and because of that, I hadn’t been with a woman for four years, which was also the last time I saw Sabine.

But I was done feeling guilty for what I desired. I wanted Sabine in my life, by my side, and I was about to make that a reality.

I didn’t know if she’d ever been treated the way a female should … but I was going to show her how a real man takes care of a woman.

Warning: If you’re into super short, hot, dirty reads containing a much older hero and younger heroine … keep on reading. This story is guaranteed to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, give you that sweet HEA we all deserve, and make you want to search out an experienced older man for yourself.

Twinsie Jo’s Review

Who doesn’t love a story about an older man and a younger woman? Well this girl sure does. Hugo is much older than Sabine but man is he yummy. Russian, wealthy and a silver fox. He’s been in love with Sabine for awhile. Little did he know that Sabine felt the same way. Finally, they come together and let their feelings for each other take control.

This book is book 4 in the Real Man series but each book can be read as a standalone. It’s short. Instant. And super hot!

#REVIEW – Back River Quiver by Alexa Riley and Jessa Kane

Leave a comment

Morgan is just looking to have a fun spring break until her workaholic mom brings along her new boyfriend. But when she ditches the two of them she ends up lost in a swamp, ankle deep in mud, and facing down a gator the size of Godzilla.

Rixen has been praying for God to send him his angel, his rightful mate who will live with him in the swamp and bear his children. When he finds the strawberry-blonde beauty before him in danger, he doesn’t hesitate to save her. Then claim his reward.

Warning: Okay, so, um, this is amazing terrible. This is so over the top, it’s on top of over the top. This book is on the level of ridiculous that surpasses all our stunts before this. You know what happens when we team up with Jessa Kane…but this is hands down the best/worst we’ve ever done. And we’re so proud we could wrestle a gator. Spoiler: There’s a lot of animal wrestling ahead. Grab your overalls and bug spray, we’re going in the bayou.

Twinsie Jo’s Review

Um…okay…wow. I didn’t think it was possible but this is surely this duo’s hottest book to date.

Rixen is something else. He’s all male. Animal. Beast. Powerful. And pure deliciousness.

Morgan goes on vacation. Car breaks down. She starts walking through the bayou and of course gets lots. Rixen saves the day and holy crap…I’m still reeling over this.

This story is short, over the top and like I mean, not their usual OTT ways but this is over the top to the extreme. And it was amazing. Rixen is my favourite male of these authors and I would not oppose to them writing and more and more of this couple or men like him.

I now need a smoke.

#REVIEW – Baby Fever (A Real Man, #3) by Jenika Snow

Leave a comment

He’s done being the bad boy … he’s ready to be a father.

DEX

I’ve never seen myself settling down. But then life, reality, hell, my biological clock slapped me right across the face. I knew what I wanted.

A baby.

At thirty-nine I was having a severe case of baby fever, and that meant convincing the one woman I’ve always wanted but knew was too good for me, to be mine and be the mother of my child.

EVA

I’ve always wanted Dex. He’s all raw power and cut muscle. He’s the epitome of what a real man is.
He throws me a curve ball and says he wants me not only as his woman … but the mother of his child.

I’ll be honest; it’s what I’ve always wanted.

DEX

Eva deserves better than me, but I’m too selfish, and I want her too badly to back away. Nothing will stop me from making her mine … and putting my baby inside her.

Warning: This book is short and right to the point—like the kind of story that gives you whiplash. Of course it’s unbelievable, dirty in the good kind of way, and is filled with insta-everything. If you want some baby making goodness, you make enjoy this.

Twinsie Jo’s Review:

Dex is on a mission and his best friend’s little sister is it. Dex is ready to settle down but he only has one woman in mind. Even though she’s much younger than him, age is only a number in his mind.

Eva has always had a thing for her older brother’s best friend but never thought the feeling was mutual until Dex finally has enough.

Sparks fly. Passion ignites.

If you love insta-love, over the top story lines like I do, you will love this series.

#REVIEW – Virgin (A Real Man, 2) by Jenika Snow

Leave a comment

*Each book in the A Real Man series can be read on its own.*

She’s the only one he’ll ever want.
He is the first boy she fell in love with.
Quinn
I met Isabel when I was ten.
I fell in love with her before I even knew what that meant.
I knew from the moment I saw her she was it for me. No one else compared to her, and I’d do anything to make her mine. But I was afraid of losing the friendship we have, so I’ve kept my mouth shut.
But she’s leaving me, and I know I can’t keep how I feel inside any longer.
Saving myself for the girl I love isn’t a hardship, but it’s something I’m proud of. When it comes to Isabel, giving her my virginity, and making her see we belong together, is all that matters.
Isabel
Quinn is like the other half of my soul, the one person I can talk to about anything. He has the bad boy thing going on but is also respectful as much as he is a rebel.
He is the first and only boy I will ever love.
Being forced to move across the country, and leave him behind, is like leaving a piece of myself in the process. But telling Quinn I am madly in love with him could put a strain on our friendship. I don’t know if that’s something I could handle or risk.
Quinn
Nothing can keep me from Isabel. She is it for me, and I mean that in every conceivable way. Nothing can keep me from her. I hope she’s ready because there isn’t anything or anyone that will stop me from having her as mine.

Warning: This story is short, dirty story filled with a possessive virgin hero who wants his heroine to be his one and only. It’s drama free, and has insta-everything going on, so be prepared to have an overload of sugary virgin goodness.

Twinsie Jo’s Review:

This book is super sweet. Hot of course but sweet just the same.

Quinn and Isabel are best friends. Have been since they were ten and a boy was picking on Isabel and Quinn saved the day.

Fast forward several years later and Isabel has to move away with her family much to Quinn’s dismay.

They fight to be together even though they’re scared that the other doesn’t feel the same way.

Once Quinn has her, he becomes possessive and Isabel is no longer the shy girl he thought she was.

This story is short but so freaking sweet. I loved it. And it’s definitely yummy.

#REVIEW – Lumberjack (A Real Man, 1) by Jenika Snow

Leave a comment

He hasn’t been with a woman in five years.

She hasn’t been with a real man … until now.

VIVIAN

I’ve had enough of the crap that goes along with living in the city. So, I packed for a weeklong vacation in the mountains. Isolation in a cabin for the next seven days sounds like a good way to recoup and get my life back in order. After getting lost while hiking, I stumble upon a cabin that has me questioning whether to ask for help, or if I should brave staying the night in the woods.

JAKE

I left everything behind years ago after the woman I was with betrayed me. Now I work as a lumberjack and live my life as a recluse. Being celibate for the last five years says a lot about my self-control, but I’m a man and have needs, and not giving into what I really want is hard as hell. But I can’t let myself get close to anyone, not even for a few hours. Getting close is how I got screwed over before.

As soon as I see Vivian, I know I have to have her. It’s been forever since I’ve had a woman. Because of a storm rolling in, she’ll have to stay with me overnight. We could do a lot of filthy things in that time. I pride myself on my control, but when it comes to Vivian, I don’t know if I can keep my hands to myself.

I know I can’t.

I have needs, and it’s clear Vivian’s in need of a real man to help her unwind. I can certainly help her in that department.

Warning: If you’re looking for a sappy, pull-your-heartstring kind of book … this isn’t it. If you want a short and dirty story featuring an all-around alpha hero who hasn’t had a woman in years, and a heroine who’ll find out what it’s like to be with a real man … this might be for you.

Twinsie Jo’s Review:

I’ve been obsessed with these super short readers and that are insanely hot and OTT (over the top). Well this book is no different. I’ll definitely be binging the rest of this series.

We have Jake who moved from the city five years ago and has been a lumberjack ever since. He had his heart ripped out and needed to get away. Well living in the woods did him some good. Built. Rough. And a lumberjack. Who knew they could be so yummy.

Vivian needed to get away. She packed up her bags and took a vacation in the woods. After deciding to go for a walk, she gets lost and good thing she does.

The chemistry between the two characters is hot and intense. If you love insta-love type books, this one is for you.
