Review: A Life Less Beautiful

A Life Less Beautiful by Elle Brooks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

GAH!!! Elle… you own my heart and soul… this book… is just… GAH!!! wow!

Elle has woven a tale so intricate, so beautiful, so raw… it couldn’t be less beautiful if she tried!

You meet Harlow and Ellis at the tender age of 11. Their meeting is pretty intense! especially for Ellis. :). This encounter brings them into a tried and true friendship that spans decades…. they experience soooo much together.. the happy and sad.. the pain and love. Most of those emotions seem to go hand in hand.. and it is so true for them.

Ellis and Harlow suffer through their love… Epic and beautiful.. and so very tragic. There is sooooo much I want to say about this amazing story.. but you just have to dive in… guard your heart, and bring the tissues!

Another amazing and beautifully written story by Elle… can’t wait for where she takes us next….

Review: TRIGGER

TRIGGER by J.L. Drake
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

HOLY HELL! JL Drake has some wicked in her! If you have ever read her other books… you know she likes to shake things up and has a bit of a dark side! Well hang on for this ride because she unleashes it all in Trigger!!

There is no easing you into this story… She starts out strong and dark and wild and only moves it up many levels from there!!

We meet Trigger…President of the Devil’s Reach MC, a trained fighting machine groomed by the devil to kill at the flip of a switch. He can not be touched… its too much as he has never had anyone ever care for him… Oh you know how I love my broken souls… and he is as broken as they come!

In walks Tessa, into his bar, a friend of one of his trusted brothers, Brick. She is running from something.. that he knows. But she is different. Doesn’t even blink at the violence laid out in front of her within her first day. And it doesn’t hurt that she is sassy and hot as hell… but Trigger has no clue what lays beneath that beauty!

MC is my ultimate fave genre… and you all know I love my stories gritty and dark! Well JL Drake wrote this book as if it was wrapped up with a big bloody bow just for me because she hit every mark and surpassed it with the twisty turns and bloody suspense! And there is a Hotness factor here that surpasses all as it is completely entertwined with darkness which makes it all that much hotter.

I want to say sooooo much more about this…but I just can’t spoil it for you! Just know this… big girl panties are not even enough to have when reading this. If you love your MC stories… grittier.. and raw with a shock and awe effect thrown in for fun, then dive into this first book now!!!

Review: Damnable Grace

Damnable Grace by Tillie Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another amazing book by Tillie Cole!

I breathlessly wait for each installment of the Hades Hangman series. It is one of the most original MC series I have ever read. Mixing a religious cult and a hardcore MC is insane! And Tillie weaves an amazing tale.

In this 5th installment, we get the story of Sister Phoebe. We have read about her already. How she was the Head Sister of the Order. She is carrying an insane amount of guilt on her blinded treatment of her sisters. Her heart is heavy with a secret that almost breaks her. Lucky for her, a Hangman caught her eye, and will save her or die trying.

Xavier ‘AK’ Deyes is the Sergeant-At-Arms of the Hades Hangmen. He has seen with his own eyes the devastation heaped on these women. He has helped bring them to salvation. There is one more he will save. He sees his brothers in love with these souls… and he wants the same. Carrying his own heavy heart with a shattered past, at the very least, he will save his Red.

Phoebe and Ak are haunted. They live in the past, and can not see a future. They live day by day…but they are not truly alive. The smiles they rarely smile are just a front. They are dedicated and find in each other, the same broken soul.

Their journey is like nothing you have ever read! So please read this asap!

Review: Retaliate

Retaliate by M.N. Forgy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

M.N. Forty writes MC like no other. She makes it rough and dirty! Big girl panties for this series!

In this 3rd installment of the Sin City Outlaws Series, we get the story of the gritty tale of VP Felix and Alessandra, the cop who’s heart is in the right place, even if it isn’t always on the right side of the law.

These two souls are very very dark! Therein lies the attraction. Alessandra has some shocking truths slowly revealed to her that steals her breath away on how dark they are. There are no hearts and flowers for her story… she just doesn’t know it yet.

Felix… he is dark personified. He recognizes the dark in Alessandra and he is the master in her growth into who she really is… its a beautiful twisted blossoming.

M.N. Forgy truly gives us one of her grittiest and entangled stories… You must read this series!!!

Review: Spark in the Ashes

Spark in the Ashes by Nikki Groom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

HOLY HELL!!! Nikki’s last name should be VROOOOM!

Steel Soul’s Mc series revved my engines and I want more NOW!!!

Wow just wow!! Nikki gave us an amazing MC story.

You all know this is my fave genre, and Nikki knocked it out of the park!

Sadie Foster is a sad broken soul on the path of revenge.

She is a beautiful and bloodthirsty package as she seeks to right some wrongs in this world. It will ease her pain to make filthy soul less individuals pay the price for her pain. Never in a million years did she expect the consequences she gets.

Ramsy is the VP of the Steel Souls MC, and he is as rough and tough as they come!

He watches Sadie in fascination, not able to believe what he sees. And he must have the wild beauty and make her his while at the same time dealing with all the drama and craziness that ensues…

This book grips you from the first page to the last! And the last chapter… holy hell! Seriously a book hangover with this one….

Can not wait for the rest of the series by Nikki Groom…. need them now!

Review: Royally Matched

Royally Matched by Emma Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emma Chase is a romantic comedy rock star!!!
Every single time I read her books… I fall a little more in love with her!

In this second book of the Royally series.. we get the story of lovely Prince Henry! Ok, the bratty, spoiled Prince…lol. He is a handful! Thrust into the role of heir to the throne thanks to his lovely older brother abdicating his seat for true love! Prince Henry in no way or fashion wanted the honor… and his grandmother who is Queen is woefully disappointed and pretty much banishes him to the furthest and most remote castle they own so he can study and prep for his future role.

What can go wrong?? All alone and bored…. ummmm add in a reality dating show Royal style and BAM! You get a funny and delightful story of the Prince with a heart of gold falling for the girl next door royal edition and learning exactly what it means to become King!

Do yourself a favor and read this and every other Emma Chase book!

Review: The Silver Swan

The Silver Swan by Amo Jones
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

To quote Amo Jones and best describe this story perfectly:

The angst, the assholeness, the games, the f**kery, the WHAT THE F**KING F**K ARE YOU DOING???!!!…

ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY describes this awesome book!!!!

I have to admit.. I am a new Amo Jones stalker… I am devouring all the books! And this one.. when I read the synopsis…. holy moly!!! Needed it like the air I breathe!

In this story we have Madison Montgomery… she is not a stranger to tragedy. Her name is tainted with a very violent crime of passion… No matter the amount of money that daddy has! She is an outcast at school because of it. Her father is recently remarried, and has moved them to another city. All is as good as it can be in Madison’s world, except that daddy forgot to mention that she has a new step brother.

As she begins Riverside Preparatory Academy, an elite private school in the Hamptons, she is immediately made aware that there is a very elite group of boys that run the school… they are part of the The Elite Kings Club and of course her new step brother belongs to it. And of course, she catches the eye of their leader, Bishop Vincent Hayes, and get me a cold shower asap, because this guy is HOT!

Now this story is dark, twisted and has an amazing storyline… well basically its like 2 storylines, because as you are reading about this twisted tail that feels like your brain is in the blender with all the mind f**kery, Madison is reading a strange book, about the past…. and BAM! if Amo Jones ties it all together in a fantastic cliffy!

I can not wait for book 2, Broken Puppet!!

Review: Running Mate

Running Mate by Katie Ashley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I effen’ love Katie Ashley!!! from her MC books, her HEA’s, and now this political story!

In Running Mate, we get the delicious Barrett Callahan… he is the naughty son of the primary candidate for President of the United States. He has an amazing heart.. just a bad boy reputation being the son of a very wealthy and powerful man. Well dear old dad has a plan that will make sure that his little junior will not hinder the campaign!

Enter stage left Addison, the beautiful and intelligent campaign employee. She has all the right qualifications for the part… oh! what part you ask? Well that of fake fiancé to junior! What could go wrong, right?? play the part.. get paid 7 figures, and in just a few months… disappear! perfect, and super easy! sort of! lol

Oh my was this a fun read!!! Katie always writes fun and very intelligent stories. This had all the drama and twists you would expect.. and the hotness factor was through the roof!

Definitely read this!

Review: American Prince

American Prince by Sierra Simone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sierra Simone is a goddess! I want to crawl in her brain and live there. She gave us Priest and Poppy and one of the dirtiest hottest scenes I have ever read… you know the one.. with the holy oil… (shiver)

Well in book one of the American Queen trilogy, she gives us the most intelligently deviously written political story about an amazing man named names Maxen, who befriended a beautiful political Princess named Greer, and the most delicious trio I have ever read with Maxen’s best friend Embry Moore.

He is the little Princes, Maven’s little Prince. He submits to Maxen, and is fiercely loyal to him, to Greer and to his country. He will defend all three with his last breath.

In this story, we get an immediate continuation to the HUGE CLIFFY the Sierra Simone gives us at the end of book one…. they have captured the Queen…. right from under their noses and are threatening national security by that capture. Maxen rages with revenge, but he is bound by honor and position. As much as he wants to run into the night and save his Queen, he can not… and he turns to the other love in his life, Embry to bring their Queen home.

Embry risks life and limb to Maxen, and for Greer. In reality he is bringing his Queen back, because he is in much in love with her as is Maxen. I truly believe he loves her more. When the twists and turns in this amazing story turn him into a crusader, a Prince that is out to prove that he is the true one to the throne, you are left holding your breath, unbelieving the outcome, crying in pain and happiness, because Sierra Simone leaves you 100% captivated and making any deal with the devil to get the final story yesterday!

Simply bookhangover worthy!! Read this!!

Review: Razing Grace: Part 2

Razing Grace: Part 2 by Amo Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After inhaling book 1, I immediately started this book…. OMG.. This book is sooooooo good!!!

Book 1 leaves you in a huge cliffy! you have no idea who is alive who is dead? You have no idea if Millie is a pawn, is she just broken and insane? Can Raze actually feel anything other than darkness? Can love light the darkness and prevail?

I thought book 1 was crazy, but book 2 leaves you emotionally annihilated… you believe in the dark, you believe in crazy and you effing love it!

Millie and Raze’s crazy journey continues in this story. You truly believe in soul mates, even crazy dark soulmates. Millie is showing Raze that he does have the capability to feel love, to care about someone. That is a crazy concept that doesn’t even enter Raze’s mind. It is the impossible! Add in some insane story lines with all the twists and turns you will NEVER see coming and you come out with the most amazing 2 part series of dark twisted hotness that you can ever read!

Review: Razing Grace: Part 1

Razing Grace: Part 1 by Amo Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What do you get when you have a nun so pure and innocent, but her heart and soul are as dark and night?? Add in an alpha machine/man who is darker than the dead of night. What does that equal too? One of the most amazingly dark and twisted and insanely amazing book ever!

We meet Millie Hart, a devout catholic nun who is very very pure on the outside, but she is truly insanely dark on the inside. She is taken and kept shackled and every nightmare becomes a reality. She is “trained” by the Alpha Omega 6 soldiers to be sold to the highest bidder. And let me tell you that she will fetch a pretty penny… every twisted fantasy of buying an innocent nun will drive the buyers wild.

Raze/Tripp is the leader of this wicked group. He is soulless. He lives for death and is creative in his art. He is one of the most broken alphas I have ever read. His father is one of the most vile men ever. Raising his son to be a killing machine since a very young age. No one ever gets near him and no one will ever enter his heart. Or will they?

Omg, this book was insane and delicious! I inhaled it within a few hours… and thanks to some sweet friends who gifted me part 2, or I would have gone insane!

If you love dark and twisted with some insane thrown in… this story is for you!

Review: Shade’s Lady

Shade’s Lady by Joanna Wylde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Check out all our reviews at http://bit.ly/2akqPZQ

OMG!!! I have missed Joanna Wylde’s Reapers Motorcycle Club!!!
Her MC world is like no other!! Her characters have depth, the drama has purpose, the hotness requires cold showers! You just can’t go wrong when you read her books!!

In this installment we get the young but wise Shade. He is the youngest National President in history… now don’t get me wrong.. this does not make him a kid.. he is all man, all biker, all badass!!
He has earned his title. He takes his title to heart, even if that heart is not complete.

Enter Mandy McBride. She is one tough chic. She has had a tough time, from upbringing to men. She believes she will suffer the McBride curse. She will not be happy in love. And she is fine with that. She will have her fun… protect her heart, and be her sisters rock, and help with her kids. She will do anything for them. So love is not part of the plan.

Destiny always has a funny twist… because once Shade sets his eyes on Mandy, all bets are off. Well except the raw deal that gets Mandy in his bedroom to begin with…. She fights her way to steer clear of all things Shade, she just knows he is not one to keep. He will hit the road soon enough… so whats the harm… she can have some fun right?? Shade isn’t looking for an old lady, so he is upfront with her. They have a deal. They have a lot of fun. And of course.. their hearts listen!

Don’t be fooled by this being a novella, there is nothing missing! Joanna carefully crafts this story where it will leave you satisfied, yet as always, yearning for so much more about the Reapers Motorcycle Club!
