Christmas Vows by Alexa Riley review!

Synopsis

Daniel Black married the woman of his dreams in a whirlwind of love. She’s his entire world and sometimes he’s a little too obsessed with his wife. So when he discovers their marriage license has been deleted from the state’s records, he loses his mind. Someone in their lives is trying to sabotage his relationship with his one and only, and he’ll burn down the city to find out who it is. The only good thing about it is that now he can give his wife the wedding of her dreams.

Blakely loves her husband and everything about their lives. The one thing she can’t seem to make work is her relationship with her father and her stepmother. She tries her best but it’s not good enough, and when they find out that her marriage to Daniel is invalid they jump at the chance for her to finally be rid of him. If there’s one thing she won’t do, it’s give up the man who worships the ground she walks on. She’ll marry him all over again, but will they support her decision?

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was an adorably cheesy book and I loved every thing about it! Daniel finds out that his marriage license is missing so it’s like he never married Blakely. Daniel’s obsession with his wife will not let this go on for long and he gives her a week to plan their wedding. This was a quick, steamy and cute read and I absolutely love this authors alpha men and their obsession with their women!!!

Mated To The Capo by Georgette St. Clair

synopsis

After an epically bad blind date, and far too much tequila, waitress/bike messanger Zoey Eastgate swore off men forever and got a tattoo that says ‘love bites’. Maybe she shouldn’t have tempted fate. Because now love, in the form of a very powerful Mafia wolf, has bitten her right on the ass, on a full moon. And according to the Blood Oath Pack, the “moon-bite” means she is now the mate of Dominic Lombardi.

Now her new “husband” is appearing everywhere – no matter how far she runs and no matter how well she hides. He’s crowding her world, refusing to take no for an answer, letting her know that on the next full moon, she’ll be his bride. If only her body didn’t respond so strongly to the Capo of the most corrupt mob pack on the west coast. If only he didn’t threaten her family and her livelihood one minute – and then serenade her with sexy Italian love songs which she can’t understand a single word of, the next.

If only new dangers weren’t rearing their ugly head and threatening not just Zoey, but all of Encantado, the supernatural sin city she calls home. When dark magic comes too close to home, will she stop running long enough for her wiseguy werewolf to claim his bride – or will she find herself fitted with a cement overcoat, sleeping with the fishes?

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I thought the story was good, it had good characters and I liked the mafia werewolf angle. I wasn’t so fond of Zoey just avoiding Dominic for every little argument. Dominic was kind of closed off but he got better towards the end. They had good chemistry but the back and forth with Zoey avoiding him and wanting nothing to do with him got old for me fast.

My name is Melodie and I’m in love with a guy, but he doesn’t know.

He walks by every day, I catch him staring, listening to me sing and play my guitar. I don’t even know his name.

Crazy I know but I can’t stop thinking about Office Guy. That’s what I secretly call him, Office Guy.

We’ve never even spoken to each other, but then one day he walks up to me and…

I absolutely loved this book! Melodie helps a guy she’s interested in try to win his cold hearted ex back and they fall in love with each other somewhere along the way! OMG they were too adorable! Isaac was adorably nerdy and sweet! I loved Melodie with her free spirit and big heart. She helped Issac find himself and love and it was amazing to read! This was a short and sweet book I definitely recommend!


ARC Review: Under Your Spell by Cynthia Rayne!

Synopsis

Love can be magical. And deadly.

Chloe

After my grand-mère was murdered, I returned to Bayou Noir to find the killer, because the police won’t do their freaking jobs. And I have just one suspect, Xavier Richelieu. But I forgot just how crazy the folks in my old hometown can be. A voodoo priestess, a supposed vampire, and a grumpy gator are on the loose. I don’t believe in crazy supernatural stuff, but I am worried about seeing my old crush again, Saint. And I should be. Somehow, he’s even more drop dead gorgeous than I remember.

Saint

I’m a member of the Demons MC, Cajun Chapter and I’ve got better things to do than follow Chloe around who seems bound and determined to get herself killed. But someone needs to watch her back and I don’t see anyone else lining up to do the job. Once upon a time, she was a chubby kid with a school girl crush. Now, she’s a mouthwatering woman, who wants nothing to do with me. One way or the other, I’m gonna help her avenge her grand-mère and sweet talk her into my bed. Maybe not in that order. (l

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chloe comes back home after her grandmothers death. She wants to find out who murdered her grandma but most people are stonewalling her and when she finds out something new she’s putting herself more into the killer’s sights. This book was a good one and kept me interested! Saint was no saint but Chloe made him want to try and it was cute. They had good chemistry. Overall I enjoyed the mystery and voodoo and can’t wait to read more!

Release Date: December 17, 2018
Blurb
They’re the Vendetti crime familia, the most powerful mafia
name in New York…

Matteo Vendetti is a man who gets what he wants. As heir to
the Vendetti Empire and the capo dei capi’s throne, he’s only required to
do one thing. He must get married to prove that he’s matured and is stable
enough to take over. The stipulation doesn’t sound like much of a
challenge until he realizes who his betrothed is. Violet’s the Bottaro
Princessa, not just a random woman he met by chance in another
country. 

She’s young—too young by his standards. 

She’s headstrong—a problem for a dominant man like
Matteo. 

She’s desirable—the biggest issue of all. 

Before long, Matteo’s questioning himself, wondering if
Violet’s really such a burden, or if just maybe, he’s falling in love with
something other than the Empire.

wine and a fan!

Early Review
“WOW! Matteo and his brothers are HOT! By the time you finish
The Vendetti Empire you’re not going to know which one you love the most. I’ll
happily take them all!” 
– Victoria Ashley,
New York Times Bestselling Author
Excerpt
Her gaze flicks at me curiously, no doubt wondering what I’m
in for and how I got to be the one in line to marry Matteo in the first place.
His bloodline is practically Italian royalty, and I’m not from their part of
Italy. If we were home, I wouldn’t be considered “good enough” for him, and I’d
more than likely be his throwaway whore than his wife. I don’t know how my
father pulled it off, either. Sure, we’re part of the five influential families
in Chicago, but marrying the boss of bosses in New York is a damn big deal in
our world. My papa no doubt had some favors in his back pocket he called
in.  

I also can’t help but wonder, who could want us dead that
badly for him to show his hand to the Vendettis?

Book Review: T.A. By Jamie Begley!

Synopsis

Cuffing season was supposed to be about finding a hook-up to keep her warm during the cold Kentucky winter nights. T.A. wasn’t looking for Mr. Right; she just wanted Mr. Available.

That was before she met Dalton Andrews. The widower was nursing a broken heart, and the only thing he wanted was a woman to take his grown kids’ minds off worrying about him.

It was supposed to be a trade-off—he would keep her warm and toasty during the nights, and she would put up a smokescreen in front of his kids during the days. It was a win-win situation.

That was until the famous actor decided he wanted out of the deal and Mr. Available was a no-show during the biggest snowstorm of the year.

Poor schmuck didn’t realize that all the drama he had experienced in Tinseltown was nothing compared to dealing with this bitch.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love this series but Dalton has to be my least favorite guy. I completely felt for him grieving for his wife but after a while I was kind of over her being brought up. He was constantly hurting T.A.’s feelings then giving her the cold shoulder or kissing her. I was so glad when he finally gave T.A. what she needed. T.A. seemed hard but she had a heart of gold. I just loved her. I thought the book was well written and I enjoyed the drama and secrets!

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!

Blog Tour: Passion’s Reward by Julie Shelton!



Title: Passion’s Reward 
Author: Julie Shelton 
Genre: BDSM Romance 
Series: The Doms Of Passion Lake #6


Add to your TBR – Goodreads







Virginia is for lovers. Passion Lake is for…kinky lovers. Welcome to Passion Lake, a town owned and operated by a group of ex-Navy SEALs. A town where they are free to live their kinky lifestyles without fear of interference or censure.

Passion’s Reward Blurb
Worst way to meet a guy? Crash into him. Best way to meet two guys? Crash into them. On assignment to write a series of articles about the seamier side of BDSM, Rachel Adams goes to the town of Passion Lake. Pretending to be a submissive in search of a Dom, she literally collides with two of the hottest men she’s ever met. 
Jake Weston and Roman Sanderson have been looking for their lifetime sub for several years, and Rachel Adams is irresistible. When they discover her subterfuge, they are naturally incensed. To teach her a lesson, they insist she turn herself over to them for one month and allow them to give her the full BDSM experience.
Can they convince her that not only is she is a natural submissive, but that she is their natural submissive?


WARNING: The books in this series contain material that could cause spontaneous combustion of both panties and electronic devices. Read at your own risk. You might (okay, honestly? There is no “might” about it—you WILL) need a bucket of ice water and an industrial fan to survive the reading experience. You have been warned.







Hands gripping her hips, he held her still as he speared his tongue between her labia, licking and fluttering his tongue all around her clit. Shuddering and moaning with pleasure, she gave herself up to the pleasure piercing her. She could only imagine the lascivious sight they made. Roman on his knees in front of her, his dark head between her legs, ravaging her pussy with his talented tongue, Jake pressed against her back side, his big hands covering her breasts as he ravaged her neck with his kisses. The two of them making her writhe and moan as they pleasured her beyond her wildest dreams. 
She knew she didn’t have to imagine it. She could see it. All she had to do was open her eyes. But, somehow, she feared that that simple act would break the spell that held her in its grip and destroy the magic of what was happening to her. If she opened her eyes, that would make everything real. Everything she was doing. Everything that was being done to her. It would no longer be a sensual dream. And it would make her somehow responsible for her own participation in…whatever this was. She’d never done anything like this in her life. And she was shocked with how much she wanted to do it now. She didn’t want to be responsible. She wanted the fantasy to continue. So, she kept her eyes closed, unwilling to break the sensual spell that kept her enthralled.
Roman drew his head back, pushing her panties all the way down around her ankles. He tapped his finger against the side of each ankle, a signal for her to step out.
As she did so, Roman stood and Jake stepped back, releasing her into Roman’s arms. He rubbed his face, wet with her juices, against hers before pulling her body tight against his. Seeking her mouth, he pried it open, letting her taste herself on his lips and tongue. “Sweet,” he murmured against her lips.
Amazingly, the sound of his voice didn’t break the spell, merely added to it. She let out a tiny whimper. It occurred to some distant part of her mind that if she wanted to put an end to this, she’d better do it now, before it was too late. But she had no intention of putting an end to this. She was enjoying his kisses way too much. Kisses that had her squirming and moaning with pleasure. Kisses she found so arousing, hot cream continually gushed out between legs. She’d never been this wet before.
He lifted his head slightly before lowering it again, to place a drugging, open-mouthed kiss against her lips.
“So.” Kiss.
“Fucking.” Kiss.
“Sweet.” Kiss, his mouth lingering on hers before moving off to graze along the curve of her cheek.
Breath held, heart hammering in her breast, Rachel waited, desperate to see where those lips would venture next.
Roman’s hand slid up her back to grasp the back of her head, fisting her hair and using it to tilt her face upward, a move which allowed his lips to go on a journey down her throat, stopping in the tiny hollow at the base of her throat. He licked the sweet indentation, feeling the frantic beating of her heart against his tongue, before gliding back up and swooping in to claim her mouth in another heart-stopping kiss. A kiss that sent arousal surging through her in a wave of surrender that swept away all reason.











From fairies in the garden at age 9 to handcuffs in the boudoir at age 75, Julie’s writing has run the gamut. In between she managed to graduate cum laude with a B.A. in French followed by a Master’s Degree in Library Science. Having thus procured these two necessary but ultimately irrelevant pieces of paper, (Seriously. What can you do with a B.A. in French?) she launched a successful career as a children’s librarian, followed by an even more successful, 30-year career as a professional storyteller and puppeteer. She published Kidstuff, an award-winning, monthly newsletter, as well as a book, Puppets, Poems and Songs, both major language arts resources for early childhood educators.
At various points in her life, if asked what she would like to be, her answer would have been (in rough chronological order, since some of these lofty ambitions overlapped): a fairy, a princess, a ballerina, Nancy Drew, Cherry Ames, a paleontologist (until she realized that paleontologists spend much of their lives camping), Scarlett O’Hara, thin and beautiful, and an actress. Now, at age 76, her answer to that question would most likely be, “younger”.
Followed closely, of course by bestselling author. Oh, and a princess. Some dreams just never die.
