    Liquid & Ash by E.M. Abel REVIEW

    February 29, 2016

    Liquid & AshLiquid & Ash by E.M. Abel
    My rating: 4 of 5 stars





    ★★★★4 Figting Stars★★★★


    "Perhaps that was all life was-a series of moments and memories. Some of them were good,some of them were bad,but all of them collectively defined who we were."


    I have to admit that I was nervous starting this book and even though the blurb is what drew me to this, I was still iffy about it. That being said, I got more than just a story. I got a woman's journey through heartbreak and loss and her eventually finding herself. What started as a downward spiral, ultimately saved her and made her the woman she always knew she could be.

    Penny is facing the loss of her marriage. Having met her husband Derek in her Senior year of College, she spent the last ten years giving him everything. She gave up her potential career,and put even more distance between her disapproving mother. Everything that she hoped to have was now a distant memory and her marriage will be going along with it.

    "Love is liquid. It never dies. It never goes away. Sometimes it just changes direction. And,sometimes,if it's strong enough...." It can make time stand still."

    Deciding that it's time to take back her life and make something out of it,she begins her new found freedom. What she wasn't planning on is meeting the sexy bartender/model name Brandon. Determined to not let their attraction get the best of her, she fights her feelings for him. But with a man like Brandon,you could only stay strong for so long and eventually give in to the hot temptation.And I do mean HOT.

    "He possessed me,and I knew it was dangerous,but I just didn't care".

    Brandon hasn't had an easy childhood. He has scars just like everyone else but his run so much deeper. He's overcome a lot and but the memories are still there just waiting to pop up and give him nightmares. He has a good life now, women whenever he wants, and a fast track modeling career. Meeting Penny was never part of his plan but he saw something in her that made him question everything about his life.

    Can two broken people really mend each other?

    The beginning of this story was really rough for me because I didn't now where it was going. My thoughts were preoccupied with how how Penny is going to get through her situation ls she going to give in and just let the darkness takeover? Or is she going to fight. I loved her growth in this story,and her determination to be better. She put herself first for once and she didn't give up on anything.
    I wanted the epilogue to be longer. It felt waaay too rush for my liking and I didn't like that at all. Aside from that, I really enjoyed this one and I hope the author gives us a novella because I want more. Brandon was the best and can I just say that those two together was "WOWZA!.

    E.M. Abel was born and raised a Marine Corps brat. She spent a large portion of her life moving and living in her mother’s home country, Japan. As a result, she gained independence and a unique perspective on the world. The youngest of three girls, E.M. Abel spent a lot of time alone in her room writing or sketching in her journals and dreaming up stories. Growing up, she wrote poems, short stories and articles for her high school newspaper. She also fell in love with art and discovered her deep need for self-expression.

    Now, a Navy wife with two small children of her own, she still loves being creative and most of all translating her stories into novels. E.M. Abel, now referred to as E or Em by her friends and readers, can often be found with her headphones on jamming out to punk rock, in a chair getting tattooed or cooking dinner for her kids and attending gymnastics practice.

    Target on Our Backs by J.M. Darhower REVIEW

    Target on Our Backs (Monster in His Eyes, #3)Target on Our Backs by J.M. Darhower
    My rating: 4 of 5 stars




    ★★★★4.5 Naz is a Badass MOFO★★★★



    This has been one of my all time favorite book series and I'm sad that it's come to an end. It's been one hell of a ride and even though I don't want to come off, I'm happy with the way everything turned out.

    "Some of the most dangerous people are only dangerous because of what they mean to others,not because of who they are".

    After taking out one of New York's top crime Lord,Naz has a target on his back(literally). Everywhere he goes,there's a trail of bullets and bodies that are starting to pile up. Taking no chances, he does everything in his power to keep his wife Karrissa safe. But how do you do that when the promise you made was to be a better person? No more killing no more destruction. But you know what Naz always says:He's not a good man.

    Who's really after him?

    Can he keep his promise not to hurt anyone?


    Places to go.


    People to see.

    Blood to spill.

    You know how it is...


    Even though this story didn't have as much action than the previous books, I still loved it. The way he cared about Karissa,their everyday life,and trying to balance their new marriage along with being hunted was a great dynamic. Naz was still the same badass and I loved that even though he was trying to be better, that part of him was still there.

    My only complaint was that I wanted to see more growth from Karrissa. She still seemed a bit naive and in certain situations but I still loved her. I loved Melody as well and the introduction to new characters who I'm praying get their own stories because the are crazy!

    If you haven't read this series yet,I really don't know what you're doing with your life. Its sexy,forbidden,dark with the right amount of action.

    THIS IS WAY, BABY by K Webster RELEASE DAY BLITZ

    TISB Banner
    This is War Baby FRONT ONLY
    Goodreads
    77003-synopsis
    My life had a plan. Until he invaded it and stole it all away. My captor took me and I became a pawn.
    His strategy changed and he sent me away to WAR, because money is everything in this world.
    In my WAR, though, I found peace.
    I couldn’t help but find love where I least expected it, with a man who lived a battle every day of his life
    …all inside his head.
    But then my captor came back for me.
    Yet, this time, battle lines had been drawn and I was protected.
    So we thought.
    Even though my WAR was raging,
    my captor would fight to the death.
    The good guys always win, right?
    Not always.
    All’s fair in love and WAR, right?
    Not this time.
    Warning:
    This is War, Baby is a dark romance. A really dark one. So dark you’re going to wish you had a flashlight to see yourself to the end and someone to hold your hand. Human trafficking, dubious consent, and strong sexual themes that could trigger emotional distress are found in this story. This story is NOT for everyone.

    HARD BY EMILY MINTON & JULIA KEITH BLITZ

    February 28, 2016

    Hard BannerHard Ebook Goodreads
    Synopsis
    ***NO CLIFFHANGER. THE BEAR CHRONICLES OF WILLOW CREEK ARE WRITTEN SO THAT EACH INSTALLMENT IS A COMPLETE STORY AND CAN BE READ ALONE***
    Eli Artair thought his cousin was crazy when he decided to marry a human. When he said he loved her only a few days later, Eli knew his cousin had totally lost his mind. There’s no way a shifter could fall in love so easily, especially with a human.
    He changes his mind when he meets Liza...
    Liza Calder thought her sister was crazy when she married a man sight unseen. When she called a few days later to say she was in love with her husband, Liza knew her sister had gone totally loco. No one can fall in love that fast, especially with a stranger.
    She changes her mind when she meets Eli....
    Can two people that don’t believe in love at first sight discover it in each others arms?
    Hard is an erotic shifter novella. If you don’t like insta-lust that turns into insta-love, a sex starved bear shifter, a heroine that craves her mate, or tons of smoking hot sex this is not the book for you.

    Michelle Irwin has been many things: a hobbit taking a precious item to a fiery mountain; a young child stepping through the back of a wardrobe into another land; the last human stranded not-quite-alone in space three million years in the future; and a time-travelling madman in a box. All of these feats and many more were achieved through her voracious reading. Eventually, the cast inside her mind took over and spilled onto the page. 

    Michelle lives in sunny Queensland in the land down under. A lover of love and overcoming the odds, she primarily writes paranormal and fantasy romance.
