Review: King (Las Vegas Bad Boys #2) by Frankie Love







Synopsis
Landon 

My life is as good as it bloody gets. I may be an Englishman, but I'm living the American dream. 
In Vegas I f*ck who I want, when I want, and how I want. 
Unfortunately, my father needs to pass on the family business and doesn't think sleeping around gives me the credentials I need. 
I've got one week to convince him and the rest of my old school, English family that I've changed my wild ways and settled down with a "proper" girl. 
The problem? 

Claire's hiding something. Which seriously complicates things. She's supposed to help me get what I want ... but my fake fiancĂ© might just ruin it all. 


Claire 
Meeting Landon could be the best thing that's ever happened to me ... or the worst. 
He's the only man I've considered sleeping with in years ... which says a helluva lot. Mostly that I'm horny as heck, but also that Landon makes me feel sexy ... beautiful ... wanted. Things I never thought I'd feel. 
Not to mention he's richer than God. Or will be if I can help him for just one week, convincing his family that we're in love and not just scheming to help him inherit the family business. 

If the plan works, he'll pay me a quarter of a million dollars. 
But if he finds out who I really am, he'll call off our deal. 
And I can't let that happen. Not just because I desperately need the money ... but because the time I spend with him makes me believe that true love might be real after all. 
But Landon is a player. And I can't bear to have my heart broken. 

So I'm all in with the plan ... but terrified that I'm about to make the biggest mistake of my life ... falling in love with a man who can't be trusted.

Review



My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I don't know how many stars to even give this one so I'm going to stick to 3
I finished the first book in the Las Vegas Bad Boys series and after reading the snippet of this book I had to carry on.

Overall I'm not saying it was a bad book I enjoyed it but there was alot that was missing for me. I read reviews both of the first book and this one about how this one was much better. I'm not sure why maybe the mood i was in the insta love just worked and this one there was annoying parts and it just feels unfinished I wanted so much more from the book and then i was cheking the pages thinking no..it cant end so soon there is so much to explore here. If there is a continuation and I'm just here bitching about this forgive me i guess? But i'm under the impression these are all standalones

Claire annoyed me with all the secretive parts and lying i guess. She had so many opportunities to tell Landon and it felt like one thing after another.Its like one lie leads to so many more and I was stressed out for her and was just getting so annoyed the more she dragged it on. But my main annoyance was that there was no slow build up between Claires daughter and Landon. I wanted to see him being a father figure, and to see him in that light. It just didnt feel like in the end there was a proper family feel. I needed there to have been more dialogue between the two. But it mainly focused on Landon and Claire even thought the big secret had such a focus but just not in the right way.

I enjoyed Landon slowly changing throughout the book, taking responsibility and being the man his parents knew he could be. How Claires support and love makes him want to be and do more. To be a better man which is endearing.

Review: It all started with a Lima Bean (Intertwined Hearts #1) By Kimi Flores


Synopsis
A past that haunts can be laid to rest through the act of forgiveness, even if the person you forgive is yourself. It must be gifted freely.

Abby Sullivan cherishes the life she is creating for herself in her hometown of Santa Barbara, California. She adores her best friend and supportive family. Her job as a kindergarten teacher offers her life hope and purpose. She is very talented at many things, especially hiding the pain of her past. That is until her world collides with Caleb Hunter’s, giving them both a lesson in forgiveness and love.

A life changing love is cruelly snatched by sickness and death. A person must be willing to give love, the greatest gift of all, to receive love.

A successful writer, Caleb is living life day-to-day. Giving refuge to his sad and lonely heart since his wife's sudden death from cervical cancer, his primary focus becomes honoring her memory by rearing their five-year-old daughter, Madison. Yet, when Madison Hunter walks into Miss Abby’s kindergarten class, everything changes for all three of them.

With a little nudge from a loving mother-in-law who has everyone’s best interest at heart, anything is possible, especially when forgiveness and love gift even more blessings than ever imaginable



My Review
4 Beautiful, Love heals all, heart warming stars!


This is an amazing story of love, forgiveness, heartbreak and much more.
It is very well written and keeps the reader going until the very end.

People in you life don't stay forever..
Death is something that cant be predicted..
But even after loss you have to find a way to move forward..

Abby Sullivan lives a simple life in her hometown of Santa Barbara, California as a teacher.She cherishes life and has a supportive family and best friend.

When she meets Caleb Hunter things begin to change..fast! She didnt think she needed a man but Caleb is different..will everything work out for them?


"One of the biggest lessons you learn about surfing is how to operate in the present. That's really what the foundation of the entire surfing experience is."

Caleb Hunter is a successful writer who lost his wife a few years back to cancer and since then things haven't been the same. His life has become revolved around making sure everything is perfect for his daughter five-year-old daughter, Madison.

His mother-in-law who has become a mother to him since his wife passed away is pushing Caleb to start dating again but Caleb doesn't think he is ready that is until he goes to drop Madison off to kindergarten and meets Abby.

Will love be enough to heal old wounds?


I really enjoyed this book it was different to the books I usually read and I loved the characters and how it all worked out. The moments between Madison and Carter were so adorable and I was like awww!


"She was pouting.When he watched his daughter do this, she held his heart. When he witnessed this sexy woman do it, she had his soul."

It was a journey through heartbreak and loss to healing and happiness.
It shows how life is unpredictable and even when things go bad, you should always have hope for tomorrow..
Tomorrow things will be better!
This is a funny, emotional, heartbreaking, beautiful love story!


"Caleb's lips were demanding against hers until a little voice asked,"Daddy,why are you on top of Miss Abby kissing her?" CRAP!"
