WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @Taking On A World Of Words, where you have to answer these questions:

What are you currently reading?

What do you think you’ll read next?

wwwwednesday_1

I just started the audiobook for The Hooker and the Hermit by L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid. I also started Bad Boy Brody by Tijan and Burning Up by Jennifer Blackwood.

wwwwednesday_2

This week I finished reading Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai, Cold by Max Monroe and Sacked by Jen Frederick. I also listened to Sustained and SIdebarred by Emma Chase, because I missed Jake and Chelsea. I’ve been home for the last 3 days sick, that’s why I read so much this past week.

wwwwednesday_3

Next I’ll probably read Making Up by Lucy Parker, and Wrong to Need You by Alisha Rai.

Cold (Max Monroe)

April 25, 20181 Comment

I wanted a second chance. What I got was a repeat.

She was too beautiful. Too smart. And her emerald green eyes saw too much.

I wanted space — she took it away.
I craved her lips — she gave me her kiss.
I screwed it up — she got smart.

Avoiding me is the right thing to do. I’m messed up, tortured, and probably always will be.
But I still want her.
Her mind. Her body. Her heart.
I want it all.

And this time, I’m in control.
No matter what I have to do, I will make her mine.

Note: Levi and Ivy’s story will continue in Book Three — Fox.

Disclaimer: Pregnant women and people with health conditions should use caution when reading Cold. Early readers complain of dehydration due to the inability to stop reading to rehydrate, occurrences of near heart-stopping angst and fevers stemming from too much sexual tension heat.

Disclaimer for the disclaimer: This is a book, not a ride at an amusement park, and is no actual threat to your health.

First of all, I’m gonna say that you cannot read this book without reading Stone first. And when you finally get to this one, be prepared and protect your heart. You will need some tea to calm yourself down.

The writing is again so appealing. This book is also told in dual POV and the voices are, again, super different and unique.

There was so much character growth on this book, especially from Levi Fox. I have to say that what was revealed about his past and his connection to Grace didn’t surprised me one bit, but I thought the back story was very well constructed, and I loved to see his feelings for Ivy develop. Ivy is still amazing, and while she spends a lot of this book angry with everyone around her, she learns how to deal with her feelings and she accepts her feelings for Levi in the process.

The story definitly took a turn, and I have to say I saw it coming, but it was still highly entertaining. I’m not sure how everything will be tied up in the end, and I kind of wish that the suspense would have been carried out to the third book, but I’m super excited to see where this is going.

Overall, another amazing addiction to this series, and I can’t wait for the 3rd book and where it will take us.

Hurts to Love You (Alisha Rai)

April 15, 20181 Comment

Being bad never felt so good, in the third novel in Alisha Rai’s sexy Forbidden Hearts series!

Well-behaved women don’t lust after men who love to misbehave.

Heiress Evangeline Chandler knows how to keep a secret… like her life-long crush on the tattooed hottie who just happens to be her big brother’s friend. She’s a Chandler, after all, and Chandlers don’t hook up with the help. Then again, they also don’t disobey their fathers and quit their respectable jobs, so good-girl rules may no longer apply.

Gabriel Hunter hides the pain of his past behind a smile, but he can’t hide his sudden attraction to his friend’s sheltered little sister. Eve is far too sweet to accept anything less than forever and there’s no chance of a future between the son of a housekeeper and the town’s resident princess.

When a wedding party forces Eve and Gabe into tight quarters, keeping their hands off each other will be as hard as keeping their clothes on. The need that draws them together is stronger than the forces that should shove them apart… but their sparks may not survive the explosion when long-buried secrets are finally unearthed.

Hey guys. I feel like I’ve been failing on blogging. I haven’t been writing posts as much as I think I should, but I’ve just been so tired and so lazy!

Either way, let’s start this review. I requested this book on Edelweiss because Lisa, Nick and Ari were raving about this author, so when I saw the book for request, I jumped on it. I have to say that I should have read the other 2 books on the series first, because I felt like a lot of info was being thrown at me. But I was able to understand everything, which speaks volumes about the writing.

You guys know I’m not the biggest fan of 3rd person, but I enjoyed the style, and the fact that it was told in dual POV, even though it was not told on my favorite way (1st person). I liked the voices, and I enjoyed the characters as well. Here I felt like I could have used more info, and background, but both Eve and Gabe had enough character development, and I did enjoy their growing relationship, that evolved the same way as their personal growth and romantic relationship.

I really really liked all the dynamics and the connections between the 2 main families, and that, combined with the secrecy vibe that the book had going on, made me really enjoy it, and made me want to pick up the rest of the series.

Have you read this series? And this book? What were your thoughts?

Release Blitz: Licks (Kelly Siskind)

April 4, 2018Leave a comment

Licks, an all new standalone Second Chance Romantic Comedy by Kelly Siskind is NOW AVAILABLE!

36 hours is a short spell when racing the clock.
2,160 minutes is an eternity for old friends to fall in love…

August Cruz is the only man I’ve ever loved.
He’s the one who got away.
He’s the one I totally screwed over.

Now he’s standing on my doorstep, nine years later, but he’s not the only thing that turns up. My mother’s lost diary is in my hands, and it might lead me to my father. A possibility I wished for one year ago, at my last birthday.

I have 36 hours to fulfill that wish.
I have 36 hours to drag August on a wild scavenger hunt.
I have 36 hours to protect my heart before I lose him again…because there’s something he’s not telling me.

Review

Another amazing story by Kelly Siskind! This book felt so different from the previous books on this series. I was curious how this would turn out, given the blurb and what I already knew of Gwen, but this was perfect.

Gwen and August’s story is a second chance romance, and what a story it is. I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone, but let’s just say that these 2 had been best friends forever, and then something bad happens, and they are torned apart. They reunite for 36 hours, and their journey is amazing. I really liked how the story had a bit of everything, we could see the depths of their feelings, their growth, their conflicts, and everything wrapped in the story of Gwen trying to find her father. It was one hell of a ride.

I really loved the characters. So far, from the 3 girls, Gwen was the most mysterious to me, but I think that after reading this book, she became my favorite. She’s such a strong person. And August, I loved his determination, how he fought for what he wanted.

They were perfect for each other, and I enjoyed every second of their crazy ride. It was definitly an amazing addiction to this series, and it’s for sure my favorite book of the 3. Definitely give it a read.
