Lost Boy ~ M. Robinson




In a world where I had no say, violence became my refuge, and nothing else mattered. Not even my own life.
Until her.
Skyler Bell.
It all started the first time I heard that voice. Giving me hope for tomorrow. My first love was everything all at once.
Consuming.
Maddening.
Forever.
Mine. 
Except, I never imagined there were secrets that needed to be shared. Lies that needed to be confessed. Truths that needed to be told. Demons that needed to be buried. Once I realized the depth, the longing, the sadness and sorrow in her eyes mirrored mine, it was too late. Love didn't come to me as heartbreak, it came as everything I've ever wanted. Walking away wasn't an option, but it was the only choice I had.

I finally found the price of love and it cost me...

My soul.


 

I don't know how Skyler and Noah could survive this, because I almost didn't. My heart broke over and over. The roller coaster of emotions was almost too much. The angst, heart-break and tragedies were devastating. 

I always liked Noah, but seeing how much Skyler destroyed him, but he chose to keep moving....well he has all my respect. He never had it easy. Everyone was leaving him or choosing something/someone else over him. I don't blame Noah for the decisions he made. Frustrated and screaming at the book because of them, absolutely. But I didn't blame him. I am surprised he remained as stoic as he did. 

Skyler has been misled her whole life. It just breaks my heart to hear all her secrets revealed and what she went through, even as a child. How does someone come back from that? How could she heal? How could her and Noah ever heal from all the tragedy??

I kept pushing because I knew M would pick up the pieces, but as my heart and jaw laid on the floor, it was really hard. I just wanted them to be happy for five minutes before something else tore them to shreds. I was very proud of Noah and Skyler even-though I was frustrated with their decisions. I loved this cover and Noah's place in my hear grew. I'm happy for this Lost Boy.

El Pecador (El Santo Book 2) ~ M. Robinson




So here you are… 
Turning the pages, opening the next chapters of my life—wanting to know the next truths of my sins. As if the first half of my life wasn’t enough. 
You. Need. More. 
You want my redemption. 
My heart. My soul. 
Your happily ever after… 
You. Want. Answers. 
And I will grant you the very first one you’re dying to know. 


Why did I leave her?


So go ahead.
Turn the page. 
I dare you. 


You just might not like the answer. 
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

I'm coming down from this emotional roller coaster that this book put me on, trying to come up with words to express how I feel. I almost what to write my review in emojis since I think it might express my emotional state at this point. I mean. Wow.

The twists and turns constantly had me on the edge of my seat the entire read. I was in tears one minute, angry the next. The hate, love and devastation dripped off the pages. I hate Emilio myself. He destroyed these two and their entire worlds. Their relationship, irreparable. All I wanted was for Andromeda and Perseus to have their time together, but they kept destroying each other. 

All of these emotions....It was just that good. M's writing brings you in to the minds of the characters and had you feeling their love and pain. Oh my goodness, the pain. There was a ton of that, plus all the angst you could ever imagine. El Santo was raw, emotional, hot, gripping and one hell of a ride.

El Santo (Saint-Sinner #1) ~ M. Robinson


I didn’t know darkness and evil lurked inside me until I had to murder in order to survive. Forced to become my own worst enemy. With so much blood on my hands, I was surprised I could still see my own skin.
I killed.
I tortured.
I loved…
I played God while I was rotting in Hell. Thriving on control and power was the only way I knew how to live. There were no other options.
If you weren’t my friend, you were my foe.
If you weren’t with me, you were against me.
Traitors, as I called them. There were no imaginary lines. I’d crossed them all. No boundaries. No second chances. No redemption.
Not for me.
For them.
For anyone.
Only for her…
She loved me. Always convinced I was a saint, never believing I was just another sinner.
A fucking monster.

Until it was too late.

Except, I didn’t choose this life. It. Chose. Me.





Damien, Damien, Damien. What are we going to do with you? He seriously makes me want to hate him, but at the same time I feel sad for him. It's true he didn't pick this life. His father lived a lie and expected his son to grow up different. Instead, Damien just became more ruthless. Trained as a soldier and scared at the age of 18, there was no turning back.

Amira....sweet, innocent Amira. She gave Damien everything she could.She defended him, admired him and loved him. Never did she fear him, even after he continuously broke her heart. Damien warned her, he was not a good man. He told her, he could never give her what she wanted. Yet, she held out hope and continued to love him. 

I can't even get in to Emilio, or I may give too much away. I will say this: He's a sleezy, scumbag. I hate him and everything he stands for. Once, you read the book, you'll understand what I mean. 

Amira brings out the best in Damien, but he knows she deserves better He continuously goes hot and cold since he is always at war with his emotions. The angst and suspense of their story had me flying through the pages. I really enjoyed it and I need to know what happens!!

Ends Here: Road to Nowhere Book 2 ~ M. Robinson




Synopsis

Ashes to ashes.
Dust to dust.
And all that fucking shit.
I had killed.
I had sacrificed.
The innocent and the corrupt. I knew blood and I knew violence.
Never imagining I could know love too.
Mia Ryder was a woman to love. To cherish. To fucking claim. Now, forever, and every day in between.
If there was anyone I’d go to Hell and back for, it was her.
Even if meant, going to war with…
My fucking brother..


Review


M! Why do you do this to us?! I know you're really not sorry, but GAH! Ends Here was excellent and exactly what I wanted it to be. There were some parts in this story where I did want to stab you, but I still love you.

Ends Here lived up to all the hype and expectations. The angst, drama, emotion and hot sex make up the quintessential formula for a great story.  The twists that occurred in Ends Here were not what I was expecting...well except one. I had my suspicions and theories, but only one of mine was correct. 

I love Creed. #TeamCreed all the way, but Noah was able to pull on my heartstrings. Mia's decision was difficult and emotional. At one point, I don't think she even knew where her head or heart was. They all changed in this story. Normally M's characters are wise beyond their years, but she did a great job reminding us of Mia's age. She was a little immature at times until Creed or Noah put stuff in to perspective. She does have a turning point, though, where that little girl goes bye-bye.   

I always love M's characters and I love seeing them in other books. I still have my favs, but Creed is a close runner-up. #TEAMCREED. Ya feel me?

This book should have come with a hotness warning! I mean, oh my! All of M's characters in some super hot and steamy scenes. My Fav, El Diablo, makes two appearances and I loved it.

This is wall to wall sex and seduction. I could read about these couples all day and it was great to read all about how their lives are going. You definitely do not need to read the books in her series and the novella can be read as a standalone.  

I am a huge fan of M's and I love her dirty talking men. Totally yummy!

Road to Nowhere: The Good Ol’ Boys Spin-Off ~ M. Robinson

 




 photo Synopsis_zpshy1vcpnk.png
I once read that every warrior hoped an honorable death would find him. I always went looking for mine, but not even the Reaper wanted me.

I was trained to kill. I was trained to not ask why. To take orders and just march in line. Hooah motherfucker. 

Life or death.

Ride or die.

And I’m not only talking about the military. I’m talking about the life that led me on the road to nowhere.
My life.
I fought for my brothers. 
I fought for my family. 
I fought for my country. 
And I fought for her…

Never realizing I might die for them too. 


 photo Review_zpseibjxw6t.png  photo silver 4.5 stars_zpschgwimf2.png

I love M’s writing. It took me a minute to really dive in to Road to nowhere, because, well, life happens. But here I am kicking myself for waiting so long. Who really needs sleep anyway? Road to Nowhere is another great addition to M’s work. Its gritty, raw and angsty...exactly what we come to expect from our girl.

Creed! Gah, Creed! He made me so mad with his assholey (yes that is a word) ways but I loved him anyway. He’s sexy, but he’s also lost. His emotions have been stripped from him and I absolutely hate, hate his father. The pressure and demands that his father put on him broke him at an early age and just made him a shell of a man. Couple that with two other tragedies in his life and I wasn’t sure if he would come back from that.

Mia f*$&ing Ryder changed that for him. Creed didn’t realize that at first and it hit him hard after it was possibly too late. All Mia wanted was to be a normal teenager. Go to parties, date or have a boyfriend. With her dad and uncles, that was not happening. She was sheltered and just waiting to break out.

Mia’s crush on Creed may have started as a crush, but it developed in to so much more, but that was all crushed when she decided to be that normal teenager. When she thought it was time men saw her as a woman, when Creed always treated her as more than a kid. All the while this was happening, she only thought of Creed. That’s when I realized just how deep and in love she was with him. 

Their relationship was rocky, but you could feel how much they cared about each other. I thought the drama and angst would surely destroy them. The family relationship was something unconventional and definitely a new dynamic. I wasn’t sure how they would get past that.


And then, there was the Cliffy…Why, M? Why?!? I know you said we won’t have to wait long but I don’t want to wait. I want it now. Ugh!! Here I sit twiddling my thumbs.

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!
