Review: Pulse (Collide #2) By Gail McHugh

Synopsis

How do you keep existing when your heart is so splintered, so completely torn to shreds, your pulse is fading?

You’re…broken. How do you move forward when every breath is nothing more than a constant ache? Living becomes an insidious reminder that you threw away the single largest part of yourself. Your…soul. No amount of distraction can pull you from the torture of losing your…life.

Now that Emily Cooper has walked away from her first love, she finds herself running toward her only love. Unraveling fast, but clinging to hope, Emily risks all she has left on the man that has consumed her every thought and dream since the day they met. Will Gavin take her back? And if so, will their reunion be a collision of two hearts destined to complete one another and rekindle a love that knew no boundaries? Or will scars from their past rip open, tearing slowly at what each of them was meant to be? Can fate, the ultimate game changer, mend the shattered road it laid out from the start?

Only time will tell…

Tick-Tock…

My Review

5 Gavin loving, crazy, swoon-worthy stars!!

I loved this book I could not put it down I had to find out what would happen! It feels like I have been waiting ages for this book especially because the ending of collide left me dying to read this..I should just wait for all the books to be out and avoid cliffhangers but no I just cant seem to do that..so damn impatient!

“We were written for one another, and I wouldn't change one line in our romance novel. The good, the bad, the in between. It's ours. We own it.”

I think I only read this book for my Gavin (Yes mine). I felt damn sorry for him in book 1..whilst reading this book things changed (Gavin is still hot and amazing and so on) but I actually warmed to Emily's character.

She bloody annoyed me so much in Collide and yes there were several times I wanted to smack her!

And Dillon urgh.. dickward Dillon I hated him so much and it only got worse.. I swear he drove me mental (in the worst way possible) I wanted to rip his head off and punch him where it would hurt!

This book starts off where Collide ended Emily decides she doesn't want to marry Dillon and goes to find Gavin.But Gavin isn't there, totally heartbroken Gavin has left the country and cut all contact from everyone..

When Emily finds out and goes after him what will she find?

Will Gavin forgive her or has she ruined what they had together..

"I was ready to take that plunge and never look back. Never. I was ready to risk everything for you, to push away the overwhelming fear I had because I knew you and I are worth it. We fell in love in a second. I was barely able to blink, and you had my entire world upside-down. I was scared you weren’t… real. I was scared no one could be as magnetic as you are to me. It still scares me. You still scare me.”

I am so glad that this separation didn't drag on because that would have annoyed me.It was fast and got to the point quickly..they wanted to be together but there was alot of work to be done to get their relationship back on track.

"I’m going to break you, Emily Cooper. I’m going to break you down and slowly build you back up. Second by second, piece by piece, and memory by memory, I’m going to make you realize you’re worth what I’m going to give to you. If I have to open a dictionary every day and make you stare at the word ‘worth,’ I’ll do it.”

Ohhh the twists and turns I did not expect in this book!

It was a great read I want more Gavin..Can you ever really have too much Gavin? No! yeah that's what I thought!!

I loved how forgiving he was and I didn't blame him for his reactions to some of the stuff that happened..he deserved more!

I am soo glad this was a happy ending Yay!

.“The thought of not seeing your eyes when I wake up, or not hearing your heart next to me while you are asleep made me sick. With all of that, I decided no, I can't go another day without you. I don't want to go another day without you”

Review: Axel (Corps Security #1) By Harper Sloan

Synopsis

Fate hasn’t always been friends with Isabelle West. In fact, fate has been a downright bitch.

Isabelle has learned the hard way how hard life can be when fate isn’t by your side. It can hand you dreams on silver platters, but it can snatch them right back and hand you nightmares. One thing Isabelle knew for sure fate was consistent with was taking away everything she ever loved.

For the last two years Isabelle has been slowly clearing the clouds of her past. Happiness is finally on the horizon. She has a thriving business, great friends, and her life back. All she has to do is jump over the last hurdle…her ex-husband.

When problems start causing her to fear her new life, and memories that are better left forgotten start rushing to the surface the last thing she needs is a ghost from her past to come knocking on her door. 

Axel never thought he would look into the eyes of Isabelle West again, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to now. He’s carried his anger for so long he isn’t sure he can just turn it off, but when he is faced with protecting her and an unexpected desire to have her again, life gets a little more complicated.

How will Axel and Isabelle deal when all their cards are put on the table and everything they thought was true blows up in their faces?

My Review

“One day I might figure it out, the reason fate hated me, Isabelle West. But, until that day I damn sure will be careful with my dreams and my plans; my heart and my soul.”

Isabelle West has lost so much in life, will things change for her? Will she finally be happy? She is finally moving forward in life and is trying to get past all the horrendous things that happened to her..but there is only one problem her horrid past is linked to one person who wont allow her to be free..her ex husband.

When things take a turn for the worst and Isabelle doesn't feel secure in her own home, help is on its way! But never did she think, the person to help her would be someone who she thought was gone forever.Someone who was a big part of her past..

“I haven’t always been this weak person; this broken woman. I used to dream, and when I did, I dreamt big. I had plans, plans of a future so bright it would blind you. I can still remember the day those dreams, those grand plans, and that future as bright as the sun went poof.”

Axel got a call about someone called Isabelle who needed his help as her ex-husband been harassing her..Little did he know that he would be face to face with someone he could never forget. Axel has been angry at Isabelle for so long he doesn't know if he can just turn it off..

"The girl ripped my heart to fucking shreds and I never knew why. It would have been quicker if she had stuck around and shot me in the fucking chest. At least I would have died instantly, instead of bleeding out slowly for the last twelve years."

This is a story of misunderstandings, love, passion, heartache and much more..

“What are you thinking?” I ask him after a few minutes.

He looks up at me with his smile wide and his eyes bright. “How fucking lucky I am.”

Well Done Harper Sloan - You are awesome!! This was well written and It had me hooked ,I just couldn't put it down.A brilliant journey with Axel and Izzy through the heartache and sadness to the time where things start looking up! They overcome so much doom and gloom and deserved happiness.

“I can feel the sun warming my skin. I love this blissful state between sleep and just waking. But I no longer relish this moment for being numb, no…now I relish this moment because it reminds me I am alive"

I loved all the characters the guys were awesome! Greg bless him loved how he was all protective with Izzy. This book made me feel so many emotions!

It was funny,filled with love, heartache,lust and so much more!

In some parts of the book I just wanted Izzy to get a grip and tell Axel everything! I was screaming at her to just do it already..she listened and it was about time!!

"When you are with me I am free.

My strength. My everything.

Our love now continues forever.

Amor Vincit Omnia."

Overall what an amazing book..I really need the next book..now please!

How does Sophia Burke fit into the puzzle that is Tony and Claire? Will her presence affect the future of this well esteemed man? Can he dominate twice? Is that his goal? 

TRUTH continues the tumultuous saga of CONSEQUENCES,introduces new players, and uncovers more intrigue. Aleatha Romig skillfully weaves past transgressions through current deception to create a fervent world of obsessed desire. In this reality can an all-consuming relationship survive? 

When buried sins are discovered they threaten not only Tony and Claire’s future—but their very lives! Will the TRUTH be revealed in time?

My Review

5 MIND BLOWING STARS!! 

THAT.WAS.INTENSE!

“Mr Anthony Rawlings had a lesson to learn and Claire claimed the role as teacher.” 

WARNING: This book may cause your body and mind to explode due to the numerous emotions you will feeling throughout the entire book! You may never be the same again :O

Bravo Aleatha Romig! Just when I thought you couldn't possibly outdo Consequences..you proved me wrong! I was blown away with this one it was better than the first book so now I have very high expectations for book 3!

Ahh so many twists and turns just when you think you have it all figured out..BOOM..a new turn in events and every theory of yours is turned on its head.

“In their figurative game of chess, Anthony Rawlings had Claire in check. Every move she made, he countered.”

A big part of reading this book was my change in heart..After reading the first book I vowed to hate Tony with everything in me! I really really really hated him!!! But then.. in this book..the new Tony won me over!I always thought ahh even if he does change i just wouldnt get over all the bad stuff he did..Oh how wrong i was! The more you learn about him and his family the more you start to understand him and understand why he did what he did.. Oh Tony you are amazing! :D I am now officially Team Tony!

Don't disappoint me!

“...His words were barely audible. That was all right; they weren’t intended for anyone except the woman who wasn’t there. “I’m so sorry... for everything... why? ... why did you leave me?” As the tears coated his cheeks he told himself, Anthony Rawlings doesn’t cry. He doesn’t apologize, and he doesn’t cry...”

I really liked how eventually all the sections come together the past and the present .I liked how Tony's character develops throughout the book how he opens up to Claire. And how Claire becomes a stronger person and stands up to him. Some characters pissed me off in this book. Aleatha Romig toying with our emotions again!

I am soooo glad this book doesnt end at a cliffhanger!!!!

I cant wait for CONVICTED!I need this book now!

My casting for Tony and Claire..

Review: Consequences By Aleatha Romig

Synopsis

Book #1 of the Bestselling Consequences Series:

Anthony Rawlings had a plan—to teach Claire Nichols to behave.

Claire Nichols had a plan—to survive!

In an unfamiliar bedroom within a luxurious mansion, Claire Nichols wakes to memories of a brutal abduction. All of her recollections have one common denominator, the man she just met—Anthony Rawlings. Unbeknownst to Claire, Anthony has had her in his sights for a long time. Every action has consequences—and his actions resulted in their chance meeting. 

Facing incomprehensible circumstances, Claire must learn to survive as she comes to terms with her new reality—every aspect of her livelihood is now dependent upon the tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed tycoon. Anthony may appear to the world as a prosperous, benevolent, kind businessman, but in reality Claire learns he is also a menacing, controlling captor with very strict rules: do as your told, public failure is not an option, and don’t divulge private information. Failure to follow these rules and more, are met with serious consequences.

In an effort to earn her freedom, Claire learns her lessons well and before long, she unknowingly captivates her captor. Anthony/ Tony reluctantly becomes enthralled with Claire’s beauty, resilience and determination. Their interaction instigates strong emotions, including—fear, anger, love, and lust—as their journey flows into uncharted waters of intrigue and passion. 

From the opening criminal abduction, through the twists and turns, to the unlikely romantic thrills, the suspense climaxes as Aleatha Romig utilizes vivid detail, allowing this novel to unfold like a movie. 

Can you put the pieces of the puzzle together? Claire Nichols abduction wasn’t a random act—did she learn her lessons well enough? Will these unlikely lovers remain true--or will she learn the truth before it’s too late?

My Review

WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK!!!

This book nearly killed me it was one hell of a rollercoaster ride! 

4.5 stars!

When i started the book i was like...

At the end i was like..

“Actions have consequences, I have told you that. Why is that difficult for you to understand?”

The ending was one hell of a shock!I did not expect that!

After all the reviews I read I was determined to find out what all the fuss was about. So when I finally got this book I couldn't wait to find out what actually happens..by the end of this book I had so many emotions running through me I was sure i would explode!

The book gets straight into it which i liked, Claire has been abducted by Anthony Rawling a handsome millionaire who everyone loves little do they know the real Anthony who is a sadistic, cold, evil man. I was rather confused as I started this book I kept wanting to know why? why would he do something like this?

The whole book is a big puzzle and we receive pieces throughout the book..

“Childhood was the past. It couldn't be changed, only remembered.”

Anthony Fukin Rawling where do i start? The part where he was a controlling sadistic arsehole? oh and he soo was bipolar one minute i wanted to kill him and bury him in the deepest pit

of hell and the next i was thinking oh he isn't that bad maybe he will change and be a better person....how wrong i was!

“I want you to make me a promise. A promise, that you will do your best to follow my rules. That you will do your best – to never give me cause to hurt you again.”

Claire was suffering from Stockholm syndrome..She had so many chances to run yet she stayed her character was sometimes annoying i really wanted her to stand up to him and well kick the shit out of him..meh wishful thinking..The book was pretty long but it was worth it in the end!
