Trent by Xyla Turner book review!

Synopsis

Bernadette:

The point of becoming an escort was to pay for my law degree.

Period.

One more year and a hefty tuition bill had me rethinking my no sex rule with clients. One exception to this rule with one client that changed my entire life.

He was rude, opinionated, prejudiced and downright ignorant. For him to have an affinity for a certain type of woman, he surely didn’t know how to talk to them. He knew how to have them screaming his name.

Outside of this, my one wish was that he would STFU.

We had five nights only and I was counting down to the hour until I wasn’t.

Five turned into fifty. Hookups turned into sleepovers. A client turned into a significant other.

But how?

Why?

For goodness sakes, he was a damned Republican!

Trent:

A man over fifty is afforded the privilege to say and do what he wants.

Period.

The criteria for my escorts were black women.

Period.

Note: This book is a bit different than a normal Xyla Turner book. It is IR, BWWM, and HEA, but it’s a bit darker and really sexy. If you’re not easily offended, then this is for you.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dottie (Bernadette)was working as an escort to put herself through law school when she got an a—hole client(Trent)who couldn’t get enough of her. Dottie liked Trent best when he didn’t talk and they went from disliking each other to a relationship and I just loved it. Trent was a congressman who was kind of racist but as he got to know Dottie better and she called him on his sh-t he got his act together to the amusement of his new friend. Their story gave me all the feels and I absolutely enjoyed reading and definitely recommend reading this!

Depravity by Natalie Bennett book review!

Synopsis

I was born an ordinary girl with a tiny seed of sickness.

As I got older, it grew bigger, manifesting into something sinister.

Mama told me to lock it away and let it wither.

I didn’t know how.

So I hid it.

Solitude became my closest companion.

Solo, single, lonely.

Until Declan.

Until Ethan.

They were drawn to my sickness like moths to a flame.

With them, I was nurtured into something special.

With them, I flourished in depths of decay and darkness.

Contains menage (m-m/m-f-m/m-m-f.)

Standalone.

*Usually would insert warning here*

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was crazy good! The drama, twists and turns were amazing. Everyone was crazy and I loved it lol! Helena likes to fix things and Ethan and Declan don’t mind helping her get her “fix”. Natalie has become one of my favorite dark romance authors. If you love dark and twisted romances then I definitely recommend this one!

Review: Sex Material by Victoria Ashley

Synopsis

This enemies-to-lovers romance is sure to set your Kindle on fire! Get ready for extra heat in this standalone from New York Times Bestselling Author, Victoria Ashley.

Sex Material…

It’s what I’m known around town for.

A rock-hard body, covered in tattoos with a sizeable bulge that women spend their nights fantasizing about.

Women track me down, needing someone that will take them rough without holding back.

They find me because they need a distraction from reality. They need something to get their mind off of the boyfriend who screwed them over or the job promotion they got passed over on at work.

Sometimes it’s just because they need someone reckless in the bedroom before settling down with the right one.

‘Cause I’m not that guy.

Nowhere close.

I’m not the suit wearing, flower-buying guy you take home to meet the parents. I’m not the guy who will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Not anymore.

I was boyfriend material once. Would’ve even made a good husband. Until one night changed everything.

These women come to me because they need an escape to cope with the real world, but none of them know I need it more than them. I need something to make me feel alive. Something to get my heart beating again.

Then Cami shows up in my hometown, broken-hearted and pissed off at the world, needing an escape from her cheating ex.

She’s the only one that doesn’t want to use my body. In fact, she wants nothing to do with it and has no problems telling me so.

She’s interested in one thing only from me—to move into my rental property. But the problem with that is the more we fight, the deeper she buries herself in my soul.

Sex material is what I’m good at, but for the first time, it may not be enough.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After catching her boyfriend cheat on her Cami is just done. Cami goes to her BFF to figure out what to do and decided she wants to move into the house being fixed next door. Cami interrupts Jensen who’s preparing the house to be rented out and she doesn’t like him but Jensen likes her fire. Jensen is a jerk and knows women only want him for his body and he’ll deliver but just once but once his new tenant gets under his skin he’s not that much of a jerk anymore. This book was hot! They chemistry between Cami and Jensen was amazing and I couldn’t stop reading! They found love with each other when they weren’t looking for anything and it was an amazing story to read.

Release Blitz/ARC Review: Damon by Teagan Wilde

Title: Damon
Series: Raleigh Texas Wolves #1
Author: Teagan Wilde
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: December 6, 2018
Farren

Damon came into my life when I needed him the most. I’d never imagined my mate would be the Alpha of the most notorious pack around. 

He became my everything, but little did I know my future with him was in danger. 

Things were not what they seemed…



Damon

When I allowed a new member to join my pack, I never imagined that she would become mine. Farren was not what I’d expected, and yet she was everything I needed. 

Someone was out to hurt her, but they didn’t expect me and my pack to be standing in front of her, protecting her.

Let the hunt begin.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoyed this book, I thought it was a good start to the series. It kept my attention enough that I’d read more from the series. I liked the action and the interactions between Damon and Farren. I loved how their pack/family was open minded!

ARC Review: Enslaved by Sansa Rayne

Synopsis

“They may own me, but they’ll never control me.”

QUINN

I tried running, but he followed me. I hid, but he found me. I couldn’t escape, so I defended myself. Now he’s in a coma, and I’m in prison.

Except, the Walker Center isn’t a normal jail. In here, inmates work. Twelve hours a day, every day. If we misbehave, vicious guards punish us. They strip away our dignity, turn us against each other and rob us of our sanity. No one leaves, except as property.

My only hope may be Reed Nolan, an unapologetic sadist on a mission to break my spirit. He torments me every day, delighting in my pain. Defying him awakens intoxicating, dark desires. My perverse need to be dominated becomes my secret weapon, with every stroke of his whip powering my will to survive, to fight the evil of this place.

My captors are going to pay for what they’ve done. I want to open Reed’s eyes, to turn him against the monster he serves, but if I can’t, I won’t let anyone stand in my way…

“The truth may set you free, but it’ll still hurt.”

REED

I don’t know what to expect when I walk into Galleria Carnale. When I see her wanton depravity, served with a dash of crazy, I know I’ve met my match in Sibel Isaacs. Only one problem: she knows who I am and what I do for a living. Convincing her I’m not the man she thinks isn’t easy, but she’s worth it: beautiful and fearless, willing to try anything. How could I resist?

But she doesn’t know the pain still smoldering from my past. She has no idea I owe a debt to a monster – one I helped create. I’ve fought for years to keep his dark urges at bay, but he’s just waiting for a reason to give into temptation – and now he’s obsessed with Sibel.

Soon, watching won’t be enough. If I don’t stop him, he’ll hurt her. But if I tell her everything, the truth could cut far deeper…

Publisher’s note: “Enslaved” is a dark, romantic thriller with explicit sexual content, no cliffhangers, no cheating and a HEA. It contains material some may find disturbing. Reader discretion is advised.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a dark, twisted and suspenseful book. Quinn accidentally puts the guy who tried to violate her in a coma and is tricked into going to Walker Center where you’re basically a slave waiting to be bought. I loved Quinn she was strong and brave considering her situation. Reed kind of got on my nerves because of how upset he was over his “friend” that even when he thought back on their interactions wasn’t really a friend. He got better when he came to his senses lol. I thought the book was well written even though sometimes it was too much for me.

*Received ARC for honest review 💙

Book Tour/Review: Boink by Winter Travers

Title: Boink
Series: Fallen Lords MC Book 5
Author: Winter Travers
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: November 29, 2018
Photographer: SP Photography
Cover Model: David Kash
Cover Designer: MG BookCovers

“… a perfect mix of smiles, laughs, sass, heat and nail biting.” ~ Amazon Review

“5 BOINK STARS!! Boink is so yummy!! Looking for your new book boyfriend, you have found him. Boink and Mayra’s story is fast paced, sexy, hot and fun story.” ~ Amazon Review


“The Fallen Lords keep getting better with each book.” ~ Amazon Review

Letting his president’s sister get kidnapped was not Boink’s finest hour as a member of the Fallen Lords MC. Now it’s time to pay the price protecting the very woman who distracted him from his job in the first place. 

Mayra needed a safe place to land and the Fallen Lords clubhouse was the perfect solution, until her past puts everyone in danger. Her only option is to leave with a man she swears can’t stand her. 

This time Boink won’t fail protecting what is his. Whatever is coming for Mayra will have to go through him and the Fallen Lords first.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this series! There’s always some good drama and in this one it was a little twist you didn’t see coming. I enjoyed Mayra and Boink’s story. But neither one of them are good at listening to their instincts lol. I feel like Mayra had no clue how to lay low and it was kind of annoying. She tried to run from the club that was trying to help her and she had no money or anything. Boink seemed like a goof but he really was a good guy. Mayra was a sweetie so I don’t even understand how her and Raven befriended each other lol. I thought this was a good book and I definitely recommend this series.

Luck Of The Devil by Joanna Blake

Synopsis

They call me Lucky. I never want to play the same hand twice. Until a gorgeous single mom deals me a hand I can’t refuse.

I’m one of the Devil’s Riders, the inner circle of the biggest MC in Southern California. I’m just back from my final deployment. I paid my dues, and now I just want to enjoy myself.

That means fast bikes, stiff drinks and easy women. As many as I can get.

At least that’s what I thought I wanted. Until I see her. Working the tables at an underground gambling den run by the local mafia, Kirsten is like a beautiful rose blooming in a pile of garbage. They might own her but she doesn’t belong there.

Neither of us do.

I risk my life every time I go back to see her, but I just can’t stay away. She turns me down again and again. But the night her world threatens to implode, I learn her secret. There is nothing that will stop me now. It’s her kid who finally helps me break down her walls. Once we start, it’s too late. We are both in too deep. I might be risking both of our lives, but I can’t get enough. I’m addicted to her and nothing in Heaven or Hell will stop me.

I’ll save her and her kid if it’s the last thing I ever do.

Luck of The Devil is the sixth book in the Devil’s Riders series . It can be read as a standalone. As always, this book has a guaranteed Happy Ever After and no cheating!

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a nice book. Lucky sees Kirsten and it’s kind of love/lust at first sight for him. Kirsten was hesitant to bring Lucky into the problems she has going on but Lucky was not going to be denied taking care of his Angel. Lucky was known to make fun of everyone who settled down and it was only right that his MC family returned the favor. This was a good addition to the series.

Hungry For More by Alexa Riley!

Synopsis

Sage Carter has spent her whole life surrounded by her family that treats her like a child. When she finally decides to live life on her own, it’s still under the shelter of her brother’s apartment. But the day before Thanksgiving, his business partner comes to visit and just so happens to find her in the kitchen…in her underwear. Can she make it through the holiday without dying of embarrassment? Or will the incident be the spark that lights the fire from within?

Jensen Powell has done things in his own way on his own timeline. When he’s forced to go home with his business partner for Thanksgiving, he doesn’t expect to find a curvy bombshell waiting for him. One look and she belongs to him, if only she’ll give in. He hasn’t had a reason to be thankful until now, and he’s making the most of it.

Warning: This Turkey Day romance is stuffed full of all your favorites. It’s warm and sweet with all the guilty pleasures you’re after. Go ahead and get second helpings. Nobody is looking.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sage has been sheltered by her family after an incident since they feel that she’s too trusting or naive. Jensen is a hot, surly jerk and as soon as he lays eyes on Sage he knows he must have her. Sage and Jensen’s chemistry was sooo hot I loved it. This book was short and steamy and I definitely recommend reading this!
