Review: A Moment (Moments #1) by Marie Hall

Synopsis

A chance meeting... Life didn't turn out the way I'd ever hoped it would. I got pregnant at 14. Same year my mom got diagnosed with MS. Dad bailed on us and my life felt like it suddenly started to spiral out of control. I'm 21 now, I go to college, I work hard, trying to make something of myself. I wasn't supposed to be at that burlesque bar Valentine's Day. I wasn't supposed to meet Ryan Cosgrove, but I did. And now nothing will ever be the same. Love born from pain... I'm a retired Marine, an MMA fighter, and when I was younger something terrible happened to me. Life is hard and I'm so tired of pretending its not. I'm in a burlesque bar, drowning my sorrows, trying to shut out the demons breathing down my neck always reminding me I'm not good enough. Then I see Liliana Delgado and something inside of me- something I'd thought long dead- stirs to life. I wonder... can she save me? I hope she can, because I don't think I can save myself. This is our moment...

My Review

4.5 Beautiful Stars!!

This is a free read, yes FREE!! After reading the synopsis I quickly went to one-click only to have amazon tell me er..you already have it. Don't be clicking a million times on the same book, bitch.So I went through my kindle app thinking no amazon you lie! I would have read it by now.But then to my utter shock at the bottom, there it was. How dare I neglect this book? So I started it and wow what a journey it was.I loved it, I knew I was going to love it just by looking at the synopsis ;)

'Home.

I don't have one of those anymore.'

Ryan is struggling with life.He has demons and they are eating away at him.He tries getting rid of they by getting drunk but even that doesn't help.His past won't let him live and so the time comes when he decides to end it all.

'A broken heart can kill.Maybe that will be the way I go.'

Liliana has struggled through life after her dad threw her aside when he found out she was pregnant.Now she is 21yrs old and has a 7yr old autistic son. She is lost, lonely and then she meets Ryan. That one night will change everything, they just don't know it yet.

'She's taking the broken pieces and gluing them all together.I'm not perfect, there are still defects, but I'm standing and that's all that matters.'

I loved it, loved how it was different and how it made me feel.I wanted to hold Ryan, squeeze him tight and make all his demons go away.Liliana was a likeable character, strong beautiful and much more.How are there not more reviews for this book? Beautiful, heartbreaking book that you will not want to stop reading.It's one of those books where you start reading and next think you know you are at 98% then you start panicking because you don't want it to end!

This is a standalone with dual point of views so you get an insight to both main characters.Can't wait to read Alex's book next!!

Review: Addicted (Ethan Frost, #2) By Tracy Wolff

Book 1- Ruined (Ethan Frost#1) ---> My Review

Amazon UK / Amazon US

Synopsis

Ethan Frost returns in the breathtaking conclusion to New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tracy Wolff’s seductive novel Ruined—perfect for fans of Release Me and Bared to You.

As Chloe Girard discovers, there’s love . . . and then there’s addiction.

Ethan Frost is everything a woman could want in a man. He’s rich, gorgeous, powerful, one of the most eligible bachelors in the world.

But that’s not why I’m with him.

I love Ethan for all the things no one else gets to see: his innate kindness, his reckless spontaneity, his unwavering determination to use his brilliance for good. I love the way he looks at me, the way he touches me. The way he makes me forget the wreckage of my past and the twisted fear that still lives inside me.

But sometimes it terrifies me how much I crave him, how much I need him just to breathe. I always thought it would be my past that ruined us, but there’s a darkness in Ethan I never dreamed existed. Can we survive as his secrets surface—threatening to unravel us both?

My Review

2.5-3 Stars!!

'Ethan Frost loves me the same way I love him.Wildly,completely,absolutely.'

*Sigh* I really wanted to love this book. I really did. After the cliffhanger from book 1 and i really did enjoy Ruined as a whole I was expecting a lot more from this book.I feel like it's not finished, that there is still more to come.I was hoping to see how the characters coped, more development and to see how it would all work out.

'He tastes like the ocean and feels like it too.Powerful, violent, infinite.I want to immerse myself in him, to drown in him.And I want this kiss-this feeling- to go on forever.'

Everything was going well for Ethan and Chloe and for the first time Chloe felt safe enough to open up about her past.Ethan has always made her feel safe and protected but what happens when the truth shatters her? What happens when the man she thinks can save her is the brother of the man who destroyed her?

A lot of things were left half way.What happened to Brandon, that issue is not really solved and if it is I didn't find closure I needed, I wanted to know exactly what happened to him.I wanted to know that he wouldn't hurt anyone again because of so and so..he being run over by a car..possibly? Anything! I wanted him punished.

'Ethan Frost is my addiction.He's the itch just below my skin. The fire that skates along my every nerve ending.He is the craving I just can't shake.' 

Ethan tries to protect the woman he is in love by not telling her what he knows.It's like every time he thinks he is doing something right it ends up being a cause of another fallout.He finds out that you can't protect a person when you hide the truth and take it upon yourself to sort out.I loved Ethan, loved him in book 1 and still love him in book 2! I feel sorry for him its like everything he did seemed to come back to bite him.All he wanted was to protect Chloe and all it did was hurt her.I felt that Chloe was harsh to him, you don't choose your family and even though I understand her situation I wanted to scream at her that its not Ethan's fault! Give the man a break!

It was constant pattern of there being a problem which leads to Chloe running away, Chloe's boring mind and then making up and back to the start. Vicious cycle.I hated being in Chloe's head her inner dialogue was just too slow and boring for me.It was the same thing over and over again I felt so frustrated with her.I think if this was in dual POV it would have balanced it out and maybe I wouldn't have been so annoyed at Chloe.I'd loved to have gotten more of an insight to Ethan's side and how he was coping and so on.

My Review

5 Awesome, Unique, Hilarious Stars!!

I can't believe I didn't read this book sooner! *Smacks self* My friends were telling me how good this book is and all I saw was YA and then told myself ahh I will read it another time since I am not in the mood for a YA.I grew out of YA I guess well thats what I kept telling myself until I read it. Hellooooo new favourite book! This book was just brilliant!

“She was probably a trusting, naïve girl before him, like a daisy.And then he came, and pulled her petals off one by one, forcing her to surround herself with thorns to survive. But he missed one petal. And she guards it with a tiger's ferocity.”

Oh and this cover? I totally love it! I could sit here and write about all the different ways you could interpret the cover and how it links with the book and blah blah but I'm sure you would be so bored reading all that so, lets get down to it ;)

“How did you find me? If you hacked into the Club’s computer to look up my appointments - "

“Whoa, I think you overestimate me, shitlord. Last time I checked all I did was be in the wrong place at the right time. I saw you and had to - ”

“Stalk me.”

“ - delicately approach you. In a sideways manner. From behind. Without being seen at all. For ten minutes.”

Isis Blake has recently moved houses to help her mum move on from her bad relationship she just got out with.It's also moving on from what happened with Isis's past relationship with Nameless <--Yup that's what he shall be called. You see Isis used to be fat and pretty miserable, and things with nameless left her feeling like she was ugly and rather depressed.But thats all in the past now she has lost weight and is at a party where she comes face to face with the Jack Hunter, the Ice Prince.

And offers me a black rose.

"I figured you'd hate flowers, so I decided to get one that matched your soul" He says. I take the flower, careful not to touch any of his long finger.” 

Jack Hunter is hot, smart and it looks like he pretty much has it all. Cold, focused and only dating older women as the rumors go but never anyone from school, so yeh everyone wants a piece of him. He isn't a normal, he was pretty much a heartless arsehole and then he meets Isis..Anddd she punches him. Great first meeting I tell you and it only gets better when she declares war! You're probably thinking oh pftt he turns all nice and they get together blah blah..WRONG! He is an arsehole you end up loving because he is an arsehole..A clever hot funny arsehole but still an arsehole..ya get me? ;) 

“Did you have fun? How many boys did you make out with?” She asks. “Seventy. At least.” “How many shots did you take?” “Fourteen. I let go of the wheel halfway home and Jesus drove me the rest of the way.” 

This is a original story which had me captivated right from the start.I think I read this in one day and was craving for more. I loved the complexitivity of the characters and how their attitude and personality contradicted what was below the surface.

“Come! Come sit by me. It’s a nice bench. Nice and lovely on the butt.”

“You’re drunk.” 

“Yeah, and you’re ugly, but do I complain about it? No! Because I don’t complain about things that I can’t change. That’s called intelligence.”

I adored Isis she is definately on my fav heroine list! Haven't read a book with a character like her she was crazy awesome! And Jack aww Jack can be a prick but you just can't hate him. It was funny how Isis infuriated him like no other and somehow between all the arguments, wars and battles lines seem to cross and something more that annoyance takes over.I loved their war and I'm looking forward to the next book to see what it holds.The plot twist and the little pieces we get from this big puzzle leaves you questioning..what really did happen in the past?Some answers are revealed but instead of it getting resolved it gets more complicated!

If you are looking for a hilarious, heartbreaking, amazing book I totally recommend this one!! 

Oh the cliffhanger..I knew there would be one but omg I did not expect that! Book 2 here I come..

Review: Destroyed By Pepper Winters

Synopsis

She has a secret.
I’m complicated. Not broken or ruined or running from a past I can’t face. Just complicated. 

I thought my life couldn’t get any more tangled in deceit and confusion. But I hadn’t met him. I hadn't realized how far I could fall or what I'd do to get free. 

He has a secret.
I’ve never pretended to be good or deserving. I chase who I want, do what I want, act how I want.
I didn’t have time to lust after a woman I had no right to lust after. I told myself to shut up and stay hidden. But then she tried to run. I’d tasted what she could offer me and damned if I would let her go.
One secret destroys them.

My Review

4 Tortured, Destroyed Stars!!

I don't know what to say, this book left me emotionally drained and so damn depressed.It was absolutely not what I thought it would be like, it was different and messed up.I wanted to read it really fast but had a few breaks, I was intrigued to see how the story would develop and what would happen yet I needed a break to think about rainbows and shit.Some parts were so damn depressing and the emotional parts there were a lot but..that one part that I really didn't want to happen..damn it! Broke my heart!!

"His presence made me forget everything but him. He took over my world. He was an eclipse."

A story of 2 lonely people who find each other when everything is going downhill. A tortured hero who can't let go the only woman who has made him feel anything. A strong woman who is struggling to cope with what the present and future holds.She thought he would be her escape from pain but life isn't fair and most things never work out as planned.

Pain brings them together, Pain makes feel alive, Pain makes her stronger.

This is Hazel and Fox's story, its not an ordinary story,its unique, raw and makes you feel so much that in parts you wished you couldn't feel at all. When Hazel step into an illegal fight club with her best friend and comes across the mysterious, dark, powerful owner Obsidian Fox everything changes.She is drawn to him, this is the first time she has felt anything like this but she can't act on her intense need for him.No, she has much important things to worry about.

But it seems like she isn't the only one feeling this pull, this need because Fox is feeling it too.After years of not wanting or needing anyone this takes his by surprise and he decides he wants her but that when things go wrong. Never having dated or had a normal relationship he goes about it all wrong and offers her money to stay with him making Hazel feel like a whore.But she really needs the money and she wont get an offer like this again so she takes it but later does she realises she is in way over her head.

But the moment I walked into Obsidian, the taste of violence rejuvenated me-- reminding me I was a fighter, and I would win. I just wished I could've avoided the catalyst that destroyed me. 

Him. 

Obsidian Fox.

Obsidian Fox is a tortured man, he keeps to himself and isn't around people.He can't be touched which really doesn't help matters.After having a horrific past and being kidnapped and trained to be an assassin as a child when someone touches him it brings back everything they drilled into his head.To kill. He can't run from his past its all around him, he needs help and Hazel sees something passed the aggressive killer.A lonely boy whose childhood was ripped apart, someone needing to be loved but can she help him or will she just be destroyed in the process.

This is a well written book that focuses on a dark tortured characters, a page turner and a story which will leave you thanking Pepper Winters for that HEA because if this had a sad ending I was going to kill someone.It HAD to be happy or else..

The dual POV was killing me at times, I just couldn't decide if I wanted to kill fox/Hazel or admire them sometimes.His POV made me all sad and I felt so sorry for him and then from Hazel's POV its all just really fucked up.And damn it they annoyed me at times the whole communication problems and Hazel keeping secrets I was screaming in my head at her to TELL HIM NOWWW! it made me want to pull my hair out! Overall it was a great story and I am looking forward to what Pepper Winters will release next!

My Review

5 TWISTED, DAMAGED, ADDICTIVE STARS!!

This is how it began..

JUST DROPPED EVERYTHING..hellooo book *strokes phone* I have been waiting a long time for you (weird evil accent is being used) *kissy faces*

This is how it ended..

YOU BROKE ME BELLE! I kind of hate you right now but I still love ya!

when I saw ***Author Note: This is not a love story. This is a story of love gone wrong.*** my brain was like hah! its lies don't believe it, things always work out in Belle's books.right? RIGHT? ..oh hell no coz I was sooo wrong! Stupid little voice in my head trying to get me killed but I'm so glad I read this book because omg it's brilliant!

I usually stick to my happily ever afters, like come on don't we have enough bad shit in real life, why read about sad things huh? But then I have them days where I pick up a book and say break my heart baby..okay I don't really..I don't talk to books..pfft nah that ain't me..

But yeah sometimes you read a book that breaks your heart, turns you into an emotional mess and leaves you thinking about it for Months and years days later and having the whole story flash in your mind and it haunts you all over again.

You’re nobody ‘til somebody loves you.

This isn't your normal love story, it won't leave you with bubbles of happiness and rainbows..nah it will crush you, haunt you, stalk you ;)

Right from the start the story gripped me and it never let me go.I finished this book all in one day as I couldn't stop reading it, even though at times I was confused, hurt angry and so many other emotions that I can't even name.

Addiction:-

The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or or involved in something.

Synonyms: dependency, dependence, craving, habit, weakness, compulsion, fixation, enslavement

This is a story of an addict, of abuse, of hope, of destruction.

This is a story of two people being link by hurt, two people desperate to fill the void in their lives.

“We’re all addicted to something that takes away the pain.”

The characters are damaged both Lexi and Twitch have had a tough life.Their relationship is dysfunctional, colossal mess of hurt, love,lust, anger and yet there is so much more to it. Twitch..Oh Twitch my heart ached for him, for what he went through. I wanted to reach into the book and give him a big hug and make him feel loved because that's what he needed, what he lived without for too long. But then there were times I wanted to punch him in the face and scream at him for not being open, for not communicating, for being so damn hard to read!!

“Monsters don't always lurk in the shadows. Sometimes they hide in plain sight.”

Lexi was a strong character, I really liked her even though I sometimes felt like omg why would you let him do that? Twitch became her weakness and in a way he was as much of her addiction as she was his.Being a victim of abuse, that will always stay with you no matter how old you get, no matter what happens. You can either live life thinking about it daily and being bitter about it or you can make something of yourself.You can rise above it.You can change and give someone the hope and help you never got. Lexi fell into the right side where as Twitch fell into the bad..but who are we to put people into boxes? Life is full of choices and this story shows you how your choices bring consequences sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Twitch isn't a hero.Twitch needs help. He won't save you if he is here to punish you.

First book of 2014 and Oh yes it started with a bang!

“What’s your name?” 

“Doesn’t matter. You’ll forget it once I’m gone.” 

“No, I won’t.” 

“I’m Twitch.

Review: Making Faces by Amy Harmon

Synopsis

Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have...until he wasn't beautiful anymore.
Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl's love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior's love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast, where we discover that there is a little beauty and a little beast in all of us

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*

My Review

5 BEAUTIFUL, HEART-BREAKING, EMOTIONAL STARS!

"I think people are like that.When you really look at them, you stop seeing the perfect nose or straight teeth.You stop seeing the acne scar or the dimple in the chin.Those things start to blur, and suddenly you see them, the colors, the life inside the shell, and beauty takes on a whole new meaning."

Oh where do I start? This book made my heart-ache so bad and it really makes you view people ourselves differently.Are we so shallow that we love/idolise people based on how they look no matter how ugly they are deep down? Or that we hate and bully because we can't see the beauty deep down? or that we don't even give some people a chance to show their beauty because they don't have a perfect face and body?

This is a inspiring, brilliant book which rendered me speechless.It explores the aspect that a beautiful face doesn't necessarily mean a beautiful person.Are we truly blind can we not see the true beauty within? Do some people feel that an ugly person doesn't feel the same as a beautiful one?

To me everyone is beautiful in some way or another.Never judge someone by the face they wear.The beautiful good looking man can be an abusive evil person, and someone with a disfigured face may have a heart of gold, don't let looks fool you.

"If God makes all faces, did he laugh when he made mine?

Does he make the legs that cannot walk and eyes that cannot see?

Does he curl the hair upon my head til it rebels in wild defiance?

Does he close the ears of a deaf man to make him more reliant?

Is the way I look coincidence or just a twist of fate?

If he made me this way, is it okay, to blame him for the things I hate?

For the flaws that seem to worsen every time I see a mirror.

For the ugliness I see in me, for the loathing and the fear.

Does he sculpt us for his own pleasure, for a reason I can't see?

If God makes all our faces, did he laugh when he made me?

This poem right here really got to me! Its written by one of the main characters called Fern.Fern is not pretty or beautiful like her friend Rita who all the guys seem to chase after, she doesn't have straight hair or teeth, not an amazing body, nope none of that but she has a beautiful heart and soul.Fern has always had a crush on Ambrose but then again who wouldn't he was beautiful but Fern saw more than what met the eye.She fell for his intelligence, his heart, his mind and much more.But Fern never expected Ambrose to ever like her back, why would he?

Ambrose had it all, beauty, popularity, girls and he was the best at what he loved, wrestling. He had is all going in life until he decided to join the army and drag four of his good friends with him. What happens when his life in the army explodes and everything changes.

What happens when Ambrose isn't beautiful anymore?

What happens when he has no friends left?

"Ambrose knew what it felt like to be whole, to be perfect, to be Hercules. How cruel to suddenly fall from such heights. Life had given Ambrose another face and Fern wondered if he would ever be able to accept it."

Bailey is Ferns cousin and best friend they have always stuck by each other and I loved their relationship.Bailey has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. He may be bound by his wheelchair but this guy is a true hero. Bailey makes you think a lot about all the things we take for granted, about all the things we complain about. Are we really so blind that we don't see that there are people in worse conditions than you and me?

Imagine knowing that you will die before you get old? 

Imagine living day to day life knowing death is around the corner.

Imagine knowing that you cant have a relationship, or a family because you really wont be around for long.

"How do you stand it, Bailey? Looking death in the face for so long?"

Bailey shrugged and glanced at him curiously.

"You act like death is the worst thing."

Bailey has always wanted to be a wrestler, his dad is the coach and even though he cant wrestle he always comes to every practice.Bailey thinks of Ambrose as his hero, what he would do to be in Ambrose's shoes for just one day. To do all the things he can do, even if it is just for one day.After Ambrose's life changes Bailey teaches him a lot, about living in the moment, about never taking things for granted. I felt so sorry for Bailey I really wanted to have the power to give him what he wanted for a day ahh I wanted to curl up into a ball and scream why is life so unfair!?

"I have no pride left, Ambrose!" Bailey said. "No pride. But it was my pride or my life. I had to choose. So do you. You can have your pride and sit here and make cupcakes and get old and fat and nobody will give a damn after awhile. Or you can trade that pride in for a little humility and take your life back."

When Ambrose returns Fern wants to help him, everything has changed yet she still finds him beautiful. Ambrose is filled with guilt, shame, self hatred and he just can't get over is. He can't face everyone, the people who idolised him, the people who wanted him to succeed and those who always thought he would do them proud.

"You are still beautiful," Fern said softly, her face turned to his..

"I think that statement is more a reflection of your beauty than mine," Ambrose said eventually..

Fern is just so damn cute as a kid awww bless her heart she is so damn beautiful with such a pure heart.She has been kicked down by people around her yet she walks through life with a smile.fern and Ambrose form a special relationship she understands him..she used to feel the same thing.She used to feel ugly too.

Three lives all connected, these three main characters take you on an inspirational journey..So grab some tissues and start reading!

"..Maybe then I could get some action.Problem is, how am I going to get a handful of tit if I can't lift my arms?"

Ambrose choked, laughing at Bailey's irreverence, but Bailey continued, unfazed.

Omg I loved this book, it was sweet, funny, so damn emotional and bloody beautiful! At the start I was like hmmm third person POV oh no! I prefer first person POv so the start I felt was a little slow and the flipping from past to present had me a little confused but as soon as I got into it ahh I could not stop!

This is the first book I have read by Amy Harmon and it wont be the last.This was very well written and I am so glad I got an arc.

"Do you think about how I look when you kiss me?"

"Yes." His voice was raspy."I think about your long red hair and your sweet mouth, and the way your little body feels when its pressed up against me, and I just want to put my hands on you.Everywhere.And I forget that I am ugly and alone and confused as hell."

After a tragic accident, Araya Noelle is left with a constant reminder that nothing is forever.

She is forced to give up her chance to be the youngest dancer accepted into Julliard & taking over their high society school by a graceful storm of determination is no longer an option. Instead of dwelling over her loss, she accepts the new future she’s been dealt. In a world as black as hers, there's no room for bitterness, no time for regret. Sheltered from the outside world, Araya has become suffocated by a life she has no control over. Until Ryland Dare comes crashing into her life.

My Review

5 Mind-blowing, Brilliant, Beautiful Stars!!

One night that's all it takes..One night can change your life..

One night can destroy you..One night can leave you with scars you carry around all your life..

Please tell me that this book did not end like that? I'm missing a couple of chapters right?!!? Ahhhhh why did it have to end like that?

Bring me the next book..NOW!!!

What an amazing book filled with so much pain, love, sacrifices and much much more..

Araya Noelle is a beautiful, strong, shy, selfless girl.She is a survivor. As a little girl she dreamed to be a dancer but that one night destroyed it all. A tragic accident occurred causing Araya to never be able to dance again, she lost so much that night..Her mum who was her only family left who cared about her and her sight.. All in one night her life is turned upside down.

"I lost the only person who loved me and went blind all in a matter of minutes. I'd lost everything in that car accident. The day the accident happened I stopped living, making a point only to survive life."

She is made to live with her bitch of an auntie and uncle, both of them I wanted to kill, strangle, punch..did I mention kill? A slow torturous death they deserve pfttt!

They made Araya feel like she was worthless and useless due to her being blind. They made her stay inside their house and feel like a freak she was made to believe she wasn't normal. She feels suffocated and longs to be let out and then she gets her chance..

That's when her life collides with Ryland Dare's..

"If you could see what I see...then you'd understand why-. Why I wouldn't change a thing about you and you shouldn't want to either. you're original and that's my favorite thing about you."

Ryland Dare is an incredible guy, down to earth,rich and heir to a family fortune which he doesnt want. Some people say if you are rich you have it all..they are so wrong. Ryland has the materialistic stuff but he doesn't have parents who care and love him. He hates how everyone is more interested in money and getting richer rather than their family.When he meets Araya there is an instant connection they simply click.

When Araya's aunt and uncle (the two twats)Nina and Carl decide that Araya need to get tutored as she never finished school due to the incident well somethings not right..

They made her live in the dark and do all their housework and hardly ever let her out but now they want her to be tutored?!

And guess who the tutor is none other than Cara Dare (Careless), Ryland's sister.

Ryland and Araya become closer and start spending more time with each other.He teaches her to live life and not be scared.He slowly pulls her out of the darkness she has been engulfed in and shows her the light.

I traced my thumb over her bottom lip, and she sucked in a sharp breath.

"Why do you wear these glasses?" I traced her cheek below the rim of the lens.

"Who are you hiding from?"

I loved how much he believed in her, how he helped her and made her see that her blindness doesn't limit her to achieve her dreams. That she deserves to be loved and cared for.

They both needed each other, they both need the love and affection they never received.

What a brilliant, captivating, unexpected book which left me reeling!

Oh how I hate cliffhangers but okay I get it it took a while but I am over it..I just need the next book real fast!!

Secrets are revealed, heart-break is inevitable, families are destroyed but this isn't the ending..its a beginning of something new..

Teaser:

“I’ve never met anyone like you before Araya. The way you view life and love; you’re not angry with anything that’s happened to you.” I turned my head toward him, and a smile tilted the corner of my lips. “Yeah, I’m kind of amazing that way.” I teased. He rolled over, bracing his arms on either side of my head, and we stared at each other upside down. His thumbs swept across my cheeks and his fingers caressed the sides of my neck up to my jaw. Tilting my neck back, he kissed my chin, and the dip below my bottom lip. He brushed his lips back and forth over mine, but the touch was so light, I couldn’t even be completely sure it had happened. “Yes, you are.” He whispered.

I find it hard to sum up my life in a paragraph, but I’ll try.

I am the author of Flutter, The Discover Series! Reading has always been a passion for me, and writing as instinctive as breathing.

Every inhale is an idea; every exhale a creation. The only thing I do better than writing you ask? Making beautiful girls. My daughter’s will always be my greatest accomplishment.

I was born in Denver, Colorado–but I will always think of sunny Arizona as my home. I don’t have a big family, but I’m close with my sister, brother

& my mom. My mom is my hero, my inspiration, and I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing person to be raised by.

4 things you should know about me: I’m very girly, but I can get down and dirty with the best of them. I adore the color pink and things that sparkle

(including vampires), I am a firm believer that chocolate cures ALL and I like even numbers (hence 4 things about me, not 5) Okay, maybe I cheated a little with my list, shhhh.

Review: Seduce (Beautiful Rose 0.5) By Missy Johnson

Synopsis

Twenty-five year old Jack Falcon doesn’t do relationships, and why would he when he has woman after woman literally throwing themselves at him? For Jack, life is perfect just the way it is. He works hard and he plays harder.

Jack’s life changes when he meets Belle. Unlike any woman he’s ever met, there is something about this girl that makes him unable to keep away, something beyond the youthful beauty and her innocent spirit. Belle is strong and independent, a big leap from the usual brainless chicks he tends to attract.

Jack begins a dangerous game. He is determined to seduce Belle, and without realizing it, his feelings for her develop beyond anything he has ever felt before. Things become complicated when he learns there are good reasons as to why he should stay the hell away from her.

How can you stay away from someone you want to spend every waking minute with? And what do you do when you know eventually you will destroy that person? 

As their feelings for each other deepen, Jack struggles with his own internal demons which threaten to rip them apart. Jack is torn between following his heart and listening to his head, which keeps telling him he is not good enough for her. She deserves better than what he can give her.

How far will he push before they both fall over the edge?

My Review

5 Hot, Intense, Heart-Breaking, Unexpected Stars!!

Okay I left this book for a few days so I could calm myself down and not scream LIFE IS SO DAMN UNFAIR AND I HATE IT!! every time I saw this book! *sobs*

It didn't work I am still fukin heartbroken

Whyyyy? why oh why did that have to happen??!

I hope Beautiful Rose can mend my broken heart, can't wait to read it ..

Seduce is a prequel to Beautiful Rose..this is Jacks story, a story of change, heartbreak, love, loss and healing..

"Love fucks you up, which is why I didn't do relationships. Relationships lead to love and being in love opens you up to the possibility of being hurt. Love rips your chest open and puts your heart out there to be broken."

Jack Falcon is a 25 year old business man and playboy extraordinaire, for him women are mere objects to be used for his pleasure..He doesn't do relationships and he thinks he is better unattached, that is until he meets Belle..she changes things, and he can't stop himself from falling..

Belle is young enigmatic and she sees right through Jacks hard exterior. He has his reasons for not being involved in relationships, his past is always clouding his future. Living in a dysfunctional family can make you think that you don't deserve the best or that relationships will fail and you will screw up no matter what..the apple doesn't fall far from the tree blah blah and so on right? But not everyone follows in the footsteps of their parents..

"It was like she saw right through the fifteen years' worth of barriers I'd built up around myself to the real me. The one I never showed anyone."

Jack is drawn to Belle, he doesn't know what it is about her but he just cant let her go..no matter how hard he tries..

But when Jack is called to have dinner with his best friend and his wife, he is shocked to see his angel, Belle is there as well, the women he cant't get out of his head..is his best friends sister-in-law?!

He finds out her real age here and things begin to get even more complicated..

This book had me hooked and I couldn't stop until I had finished it, I thought it would be a straightforward player falls in love and changes and so on..I was sooo wrong because this story blew my mind. I love being surprised and shocked but this nearly killed me!!

I really enjoyed the journey and how Belle changed him for the better..Time heals all pain..Will time heal Jack? We will be finding out soon..

Missy Johnson Can I have Beautiful Rose now?

Review: Dissolution (Breach #1.5) By K.I. Lynn

"I wondered if I was like a drug addict going through withdrawal. I had all the symptoms, my physical dependence on Lila showing its ugly self.

My depression and anxiety spiked, and I craved her more than I ever had before. I needed her."

Oh..My..God!

5 Heart Rending Stars!

If you haven't read book 1 which is Breach you better get reading!

I think I just died a little inside!This short novella caused an uproar of emotion in me..Oh Nathan!Reading this made me fall for Nathan even more than before he is such a tortured soul and you just want him to be happy again!

This is just what I needed after reading Breach which is in Lila's POV you dont really understand Nathan and we dont know much about his past and what happened to him..

"I wouldn’t let what happened to her happen to Lila. I couldn’t. Lila would live. Lila would meet someone worthy and start a family. Lila would be happy.

But not with me.

A sob erupted from my chest, startling me."

This novella was brilliant, it built Nathans character and gave us an insight to what he was going through..And it was heart breaking! Nathan has a lot of demons he has to fight on a daily basis.Lila is the same as Nathan, they are both tortured souls with a fucked up pasts.They understand and need each other but Nathan let her go and now everything is worse than before..

Oh Nathan!

When the hell is book 2 being released bacause I need it.. right about NOW!
