Jagger (Broken Doll#2) ~Heather C. Leigh

Amazon US/Amazon UK

I sell drugs. Heroin to be specific. And I'm fucking good at my job. Enough to fight my way to the top, controlling all of Austin's supply.

So what if I had to kill the previous boss to do it. I do what has to be done. Never cared about consequences because I never had anything to lose.

Until I met Miri. My doll. She's my weakness and somehow, my enemies found out about her.

If they hurt her, they will regret the day they ever heard my name. Boss. They call me Boss for a reason. What I say goes, including the price on the heads of anyone who dares to fuck with what belongs to me.

Jagger was just AWESOME! I loved this book. Not only do I get more of Miri and Jagger, there was some serious action and adventure in this book.

I am so flipping proud of Miri. Not only did she grow some major balls, but she was so freaking strong. She held on to hope, when there were times I didn’t think there was a way she would get back to Jag. She was motivating and inspiring and man, that woman never gave up!

If I didn’t love Jag before, I wouldn’t have had a chance after this book! Holy Hell. Not only is he sexy, fierce and scary, but he’s sweet, caring and absolutely in love with Miri. He worships the ground she walks on and it eats him alive that he can’t find her or get to her. But he never stops. His thirst for revenge is overwhelming and his love for Miri will survive anything…even possibly death.

I can’t say enough about Jagger. The suspense, the action, the dark places Heather took us too. I absolutely loved it!

Chandler ~ Laurelin Paige

I'm good in a boardroom, but I’m better in the bedroom. Much better. I can charm the skirt off any woman in one encounter. I'll even give her an orgasm before I put her in a cab. Or three. No more or she’ll start making plans for the future and I'm not into that.

Or I wasn’t until Genevieve Fasbender. She's the first woman in five years that I want to spend the whole night with. And she's the first woman who’s told me I'm not what she wants in a lover, even after multiple O’s. She’s brash and bold and stubborn as hell, and she doesn’t believe it’s possible to satisfy her.

But I’m up for the challenge.

And after an incident in my brother’s office closet―a downright dirty incident―I think I’m just the guy to deliver.

Genevieve Fasbender will never know what’s coming.

I really enjoyed meeting the younger Pierce. He was a bit of a playboy, no repeats, no sleep overs, but that’s because he’s prone to fall in love. He is definitely a giver and his reputation precedes him.  This playboy persona he has created has made it difficult for others to see how smart and creative Chandler really is. He is constantly battling to come out from his brother, Hudon’s shadow as well. When meeting Genevive, he is instantly attracted and enthralled with her. As they get to know each other, he sees that Genny has similar obstacles to overcome and maybe, just maybe they can help each other.

Genevive is smart and beautiful, yet her father can’t seem to get past that she is a woman and doesn’t seem interested in any of her ideas. In her mind, getting in to bed with Chandler Pierce would be sticking it to her father. She can’t get Chandler out of her head as hard as she may try, but he is a complete distraction from the career she has worked so hard for. She can’t do this, not now.

Some of the Pierce enemies return and things are definitely not all they seem to be. There are misunderstandings, deception, trust issues and a lot of yummy, dominate sex scenes. Talk about a fun roller coaster ride of emotions! Chandler was really well written and kept me wanting to know what would happen next!

Playboy Pilot ~ Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

 Money or love? Which would you choose?

You probably just answered the question in your head thinking it's an easy decision.

For me, it's not. Did I mention it's a lot of money? A hell of a lot.

I needed to go far away to think it through.

As I embarked on an impulsive trip, I hit a detour when I met sexy Carter in the airport lounge. We struck up a heated conversation.

Then, he left.

I thought I'd never see him again.

But fate had other plans.

Surprise! He was the pilot of my flight.

The bigger surprise was the adventure that followed after the plane landed.

Carter was dangerous and always on the move.

Even though our connection was magnetic, I knew it was only temporary.

He would give me tickets, and I would follow him around the world to exotic places.

A bevy of flight attendant exes and rumors about Carter's reputation were never far behind.

I didn't know what to believe.

But I was addicted. Nothing else mattered anymore. And I was going to get hurt. Because a part of me wanted to be the one to finally ground the playboy pilot.

At the very least, he was taking me on a thrilling ride.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.

I really liked this collaboration by Penelope and Vi. When these two write a book together, it’s definitely an instant one-click.

While Carter is your typical playboy, we can see early on he is searching for something. What that something is, he’s not too sure yet, but he’s having his fun while he can. That normally doesn’t bother him, except now he’s spilled his drink on an interesting beauty that he doesn’t know how to handle. A few suggestions in the airport and boom, she’s on his flight!

Kendall is in an odd predicament. She’s trying to decide if money is more important than her happiness. But there are other factors involved that I don’t want to spoil for anyone, so I’ll just say it sucks. While she’s flying around the world with Carter, there are some interesting….uh….situations that happen that both crack me up and make me panic. While stuck with this predicament, Kendall acted somewhat immature at times, which was explained by her silver spoon, sheltered childhood. At times I was frustrated with her actions, but in the end, she grew up. They both grew up.

Overall, I really liked this book. It was funny, sexy, hot, and emotional. I loved Carter as the sweet, in love pilot, but felt bad for his old playboy ways. I loved Kendall’s spirit, but at the same time was frustrated by some of her decisions. Kendall was the only one to see a certain side of Carter, because most only saw him as the gorgeous pilot, but her was so much more. I loved that about their love story. It was special. 

Junkie (Broken Doll Book 1) ~ Heather C. Leigh

I'm a heroin addict. A junkie. A whore. I'll do anything to get my next fix.

Anything.

Including walking right onto the property of Austin's most ruthless and feared drug lord to beg for some H. I don't know his name, only that people call him Boss. Oh, and that he won't think twice to put a bullet in my head.

But like I said, I'll do anything to get my next fix. Even if it costs me my life.

Or changes it forever. 

I’m a huge Heather C. Leigh fan, so when I saw that she was writing a dark romance (one of my fav, if not my fav type) I jumped at the chance. Junkie is gritty, raw, dark, sexy and suspenseful. To say you need to read this in an understatement.

Miri is the junkie. She will do anything for her next fix and I mean anything. There are some disgusting things that she is forced to do and it just shows the pull the H has on her. But she wasn’t always like this. When she is somewhat “normal” after her does is injected, we see the little spit fire she used to be. I loved her firey attitude, but it bothered me to see how much self loathing there was. I definitely think Heather nails the up and downs when it comes to addiction. Miri is all over the place at times and we see a glimpse of the struggles that addicts have. Her poor excuse for a boyfriend (term I use very loosely here) offers her a place to crash after she runs into some hard times and gets her addicted. He uses her and now her level of self deprecation is so high, she thinks every person wants to use her; that’s she is nothing or nobody. Boss man is actually the first person to look at her like she is worth something in a long, long time.

Boss, or Boss man, is a ruthless and scary drug lord. He’s hard core and doesn’t take shit from anyone. That is until Miri stumbles her way on to his property looking for a score. She reminds him of those he let down in his past. She’s become weak and someone that everyone takes advantage of. While he can she what a beautiful woman she once was, Boss is disgusted by the dirt and grime she has accumulated from this addiction. He can either kill her or help her. She could become his biggest weakness or he could use her to help his cause to stay at the top of the drug food chain.

I love the dynamic between the two characters.  

Boss is sexy, strong and a complete bad ass. How could there not be sparks!?! 

Their sexual tension is off the charts, but at first Miri doesn’t realize it because she is so down on herself.  Granted, there have been a few things said by Boss that has made her think this way as well, but it was out of context and not the way he meant them to be heard. Boss’s inner monologues definitely give us a bigger insight to why he is the way he is and what his true feelings for Miri are.

Boss doesn’t love himself either. He still beats himself up for the past he has had and the H he continues to deal. While making a ton of money, this is also the drug that destroyed his family’s lives. His mood swings, his internal battles, all stem from those he could help and from the strong feelings he has for Miri, which he tries to deny.

Boss’s right hand man, Milo, drives me crazy. I think there was a couple times I wanted to staple his mouth shut because he is a disrespectful ass. He needs to remember his place in the organization and leave Miri alone.

The action, angst, sexual tension and dark path that these two are taking together had me devouring their story. I couldn’t get enough. To be honest, I stalked Heather to see when we would get the next book, Jagger. So excited to read the rest of this dark duet!

Locked (PresLocke Series Book 2) ~ Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine

Amazon US: http://amzn.to/2chwJN9

“ACE LOCKE JETS OFF TO SIN CITY WITH MYSTERY MAN” 

Sorry, ladies—and fellas—Hollywood’s hottest action star, Ace Locke, is officially off the market! 

The man on Locke’s arm has been identified as Dylan Prescott, the sexy new “it” model currently featured in the latest Calvin Klein ads. Sources tell TNZ the men met on the set of Locke’s upcoming action film Insurrection 2, and that “they only have eyes for each other.” 
This is the first public gay relationship for Locke, who came out a year ago, and there has been much speculation on who would finally be the one to catch his eye. 

According to multiple eyewitnesses, Locke whisked Prescott away on his private jet for a romantic weekend at Syn, the most exclusive hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. After pictures recently surfaced of the new couple, affectionately named PresLocke, it appears from the possessive way Locke keeps his new beau close that things are heating up. 

The world is watching #PresLocke, and we’ll be sure to keep you up to date on this budding relationship! 

There are a few authors that I squeal with joy when they have a new release coming out (pun intended). Ella and Brooke are two of those ladies.

Dylan and Ace….I just love these boys, well men really. The love they have for each other is felt through every page. When there’s drama and believe me, there is DRAMA, you can still feel how much these two love each other. With the twists that come their way and certain secrets getting out, it’s hard to think how two people could make it through. Mix that in with all the fame and notoriety that is Ace Locke, and it’s almost like a recipe for disaster.

There are certain characters in this book that could use a couple slaps across the face. In an effort not to divulge and spoilers, I will just say, these people should just stay away. I want to go all mama bear and beat these people with a stick and try to have them realize what wonderful men Dylan and Ace are and that their relationship is real. It cannot be bought, sold or diminished. I guess it goes to show that these characters don’t know what real love or a true relationship is, so they try to break down a happy one. ::Gets off soap box::  

After reading the book 1 in the PreLocke Series, I was having serious withdrawals, especially after that cliffy. Needless to say, when Locked was about to be released I was ecstatic. There were super-hot and steamy sex scenes, along with super sweet and romantic scenes tied in. I loved it. The ladies did not disappoint with the continuation of Dylan and Ace.

El Diablo (The Devil): The Good Ol' Boys Spin Off ~ M. Robinson

I was ruthless. 

I was feared. 

I had sacrificed. Myself. Her. Everything... 

Living in a world where I was worth more dead than alive was a choice. I was a bad man, never claimed to be anything else. I’ve done things I’m not proud of. Seen things that can’t be unseen. I’ve caused pain that I can’t undo. 

It was all my choice. 

Every decision. 

Every order. 

Right and wrong never mattered. 

Until her. 

She was under my protection, until she became my obsession. 

But who was going to save her... 

From. Me. The devil himself. 

Fate brought us together. Destiny destroyed us. 

This.Book.Is.Everything! Everything I thought Alejandro Martinez would be was completely exceeded. M did an amazing job with this character and his story. I never wanted it to end! Lexi and El Diablo 4-eva!

Alejandro Martinez is an asshole. He’s cruel, mean, a murderer and a criminal. And I just could not help falling for him. Beneath his tough, strong and scary exterior, he’s a man that loves his family with his whole heart. The things he does for his family, while not always resulting the way he wanted, were all done with good intentions….or as revenge, justice and retribution.

Lexi had a terrible beginning. She could only remember a few good things about her mother and we are left wondering, for a while, what made her that way. How could a mother not go on for their child?? Lexi is a beautiful person with big dreams that any parent would be proud of, yet her mother could not pull herself out of her depression. It consumed her. In the end, I think it’s one of the things Lexi ended up hating about her. That and then leaving her with her step-father.

“Knowing right then and there I would have to to break my promise to her. I would have forgiven my mother for anything….. But I would never forgive her for this.”

The coming together of these two is raw, gritty and, well, just HOT! There were several times I needed a cold shower to break through the lust induced haze that Martinez and Lexi created. Their age difference excited me and I loved that M pushed this boundary. Lexi was made for Alejandro, despite their age difference. I could feel their connection though my kindle.

When Alejandro would push her away, just to go back to get her, gave me whiplash. One minute he was hot and then cold.  I understand why, now, but he kept breaking my heart when he would break Lexi’s. I wanted to smack him, but I had to trust him just like Lexi did. El Diablo is one sexy, powerful and extremely smart man. He had a purpose and a plan for everything. We just had to trust in him.

El Diablo by Slidely Slideshow

Gah, I loved this book! The playlist completely compliments Martinez and Lexi’s story. It’s a must while reading. El Diablo is my favorite of M. Robinson’s work. It was raw, gritty, angsty (yes I just made that word up) and powerful!
