Jill's Review of Hound by Marie James ~ RELEASE BLITZ ~ GIVEAWAY ~




Title: Hound: Cerberus 2.0 Book 2
Series: Cerberus: The Second Generation
Author: Marie James
Genre: MC/Contemporary Romance (Standalone)
Release Date: January 24, 2018



Blurb

My first job with the Cerberus MC was to grab a girl from a seedy bar.  Easy money, right?
The moment I realized the blonde I was hunting wasn’t around, I ended up captivated by a redhead dancing on the stage. With her striking features and sinful body, I knew she was trouble, but that didn’t stop me from making her mine that night.

When I learned that she WAS the job, everything became clouded.

I was only looking for a one night stand, but when the dust settled and she ran, my only desire was to chase her.

Should I risk my job, and quite possibly my life, in order to have her? Would she even stay if I caught her?

REVIEWED BY JILL

4 stars for - Hound - book two in the Cerberus MC 2.0 Second Generation by Marie James. This is a spin-off of the original series - now featuring their children as adults - it can also be read completely separate from the other books.
Georgia (Gigi) Anderson left home because her parents Kincaid/Emmalyn always wanted her to be more like her twin sister. Not wanting to go to college was unacceptable to her parents so she decided to leave town and not look back. Working in strip clubs for cash wasn’t ideal, but it paid the rent and she was only qualified for so many things without a degree. She should have known there was something different about the gorgeous man that was watching her from right in front of the stage, but she wanted him something fierce.
Jameson (Hound) Rawley is the new guy at Cerberus. After spending seventeen years in the military many of which were Special Ops he finds the job he’s tasked with boring. Sitting at a strip club and drinking whiskey while trying to locate someone seems to be a cake walk job and it would’ve been if he didn’t mess it all up. Hound was appreciating the pretty red head that was on the stage when he should’ve had his head in the game. Now his entire life will change due to a moment of weakness.
This was a good edition to a series that I think will be even better than the original. As an added little bonus for people like me who happen to love storylines that cross over from other series - fans of the New Camelot Trilogy by Sierra Simone - you will absolutely fall in love with President Colchester AGAIN after reading this book! Can’t wait to read Griffin’s book next since it seems like he’s in a world of trouble!

Amie's Review of Thrive by Aly Martinez

★★NEW RELEASE ALERT★★





THRIVE by Aly Martinez

Amazon
Audible
iTunes Audio








When I was nineteen years old, I was faced with a choice that changed my life.
Keep the safety of what I already knew or risk losing everything with the young, hotheaded soldier who stole my heart.

I chose the wrong man, and for seventeen years, I paid in tears, blood, and shattered dreams for that decision.

Now, there’s a man in my house, holding a gun to my head on the order of my ex-husband—given from his prison cell. 

That hotheaded soldier I was too afraid to choose? He’s now a six-foot-three wall of muscle who works at the country’s most premier bodyguard agency. I’ve always wanted him, but now, I’ve never needed him more.

It’s the call I’m terrified to make. 
I’m sure he still hates me… Even though I’ve never stopped loving him.

AMIE'S 4 STAR REVIEW


THIS was a great story !! I totally enjoyed reading about Mira and Jeremy because I am a second chance romance lover !! I enjoyed reading Singe and cannot wait to see what we get next from Aly. 

Mira and Jeremy had quite the past. I truly enjoyed getting their backstory despite my anger when Mira made the wrong choice in guys to stand beside. Of course her dumb choice gave this story the feels it needed because I am a lover of angst and wasted time LOL. This story was full of suspense , danger and hotness. It was great to catch up with the hot alpha men and get to know others that may have stories to tell. I don't want to give much away but poor Mira has herself in deep with her ex and his horrible business choices. She is down and out because of him , wanted by many even though she has no clue why AND everyone she thought was a friend seems to know more and possibly not be who they actually say. She is in a world of drama all because she made the wrong choice so many years ago BUT this time she made the right choice by calling Jeremy and asking for help and forgiveness. It isn't easy for them to right wrongs while navigating Mira's troubles and Jeremy's life BUT have no fear the bond they made all those years back is stronger than they ever knew !! It is an exciting read and if you love Aly's work this will be no different.

Title: Buried in Lies
Author: T.L. Smith
Genre: Romance Suspense
Release Date: January 23, 2018



  His lips told me he knew me. 
His hands touched like old lovers. 
His eyes held secrets of a past I’d never known.
I was lost you see. 
Lost as the flowers that grew in the meadow. 
The devil told me he knew me. 
But lies had a way of unraveling, even if we didn’t want them to. 
The devil had a trick, for his love was full of acid. Acid that burnt at every touch, every linger, and I let it burn all the way to my core. 
A devil made you sin. And my devil was the worst. 
But now that devil wanted my last kiss, and it wasn't one I was willing to give. 
He could take the acid and leave the burn behind.
I was keeping my heart, even if I died trying.

AMIE'S 5 STAR REVIEW

I have missed reading TL so much !! I love me some dark and twisted and she knows how to deliver. The cover is beautiful but there is no beauty in this book without pain , hate and danger. Jaya has grown up without her mom and a dad that is stuck in the past and cannot let go. There is very little love or connection between her and her father so she goes on to find that somewhere else. She meets Toska at work and they become friends. At first I thought Toska was the normal one, imagine that !!!! With Toska comes her brother Syler, he has been with her always and they have been through some horrible stuff. They have done horrible things together and not only is Syler dark and mysterious but he is almost completely silent. That is of course until he meets the intriguing little mouse Jaya. After Jaya spends a night out with them you would think she would stay as far away as she can BUT she is addicted to them, especially Syler. Toska becomes a bit much to handle and you come to see that her obsession with Jaya was all to fulfill some sick need made worse by the fact that her brother desires Jaya. There is some serious detailed violence and drug use. Syler and Jaya can get pretty heated and some of the behavior between them can seem abusive so there is definitely triggers. BUT if you love dark, twisted and suspenseful this is your book !! And how about Betty... she really had me on edge !!

Amie's Review of Watching Mine by Alex Grayson ~ NEW RELEASE ~



IT'S LIVE!


COVER DESIGN by Cover Me Darling



My name is Nathan Reines… and I’m a voyeur. Yes, I like to watch people have sex. Witnessing the desire on their faces as they writhe in pleasure makes my blood hotter than the hottest flame. There’s nothing more erotic than seeing their bodies tighten and tremble as they balance on the edge of ecstasy. It makes my dick as hard as fucking steel.

I’ve never been tempted to have a lasting relationship with a woman—why get involved when watching from the sidelines is so fucking hot? But from the first time I watched the woman in the apartment across from mine, I knew she was different. She teases me with her soft touches and gentle caresses. She tempts me with her silent moans and sexy whimpers. She excites me, and makes me want more than I ever have before.

For two years, I refused to give in to my curiosity. That is, until fate took things in her own twisted hands. Now that I know what it’s like to experience Emberleigh in the flesh, there’s no damn way I could ever go back to simply watching.




AMIE'S 4 STAR REVIEW

WOW this book was steamy !! I feel dumb because I had no clue it was part of a series of stand alones , I now NEED to read the others stories because I can only imagine how amazing they are !! We have sex clubs , voyeurism , hot chemistry and sexual tension amongst many in this book but for Nathan and Emberleigh it is their turn for a story. 

For two years Nathan has watched his neighbor secretly through the window. He knows her schedule , her body and what turns her on BUT he has no clue who she is and what she is like as a person. He has a small circle of friends and they all have their kink. That is how they met , he may not seem ready for a relationship BUT his friends seem to be settling down fast. As fate would have it a run in between him and Emberleigh proves life changing for him. Is he ready to settle , will Emberleigh open up to Nathan about her secrets AND what will happen when she finds out the truth about Nathan , his friends and his watchful ways !! 

It was exciting and fast paced. I enjoyed both sides to the story , the hotness and the sweet. It is always nice to read about someone finally finding love and a happiness they never expected.

“Hey, Nathan,” Tegan calls. I look over and find him looking behind me. “Isn’t that—” He stops midsentence, leans forward, causing Willow to lean with him, and squints. A big grin spreads across his face a second later, and his eyes flicker to me. “9B,” he finishes, then leans back in his chair.
My back straightens, and I whip my head around. My eyes tighten into slits as I look through the darkness of the room.
The place is packed with bodies. Some at tables, some standing around talking to others, some out on the dance floor. I look from one person to the next, seeking out the only person of interest to me.
It doesn’t take long before I find her. She’s out on the dance floor, facing me, with some guy standing behind her. His hands are on her hips as she slowly sways to the music. Her blonde hair is swept up high on her head. With her eyes closed, she’s resting her head back against the guy’s chest with her arms lifted and her hands tangled in his hair.
There’s about thirty feet separating us and it’s dark in the room, but I can still see the look of pleasure on her face. My dick, already at attention, grows thicker.
Someone steps in my line of sight, blocking her from view, and a growl leaves my lips. I’m just about to get up and knock the fucker away, when he moves.
Not bothering to tell the others I’m leaving, I get up and grab my beer to move closer. There’s a table at the edge of the dance floor that’s conveniently empty. I turn the chair around so it faces the dance floor and take a seat. There’s now only fifteen feet between us.
She’s wearing a black silky halter-type dress that hugs her tits, then turns loose and flows down the rest of her body. It stops midthigh, but with her arms raised, it barely covers her cunt. I have no doubt if she were to bend over, her ass would show. Her black sandals are high, and even in the dark, they sparkle from some type of glittery shit that’s all over them.
My eyes slowly rake down her body, taking in every inch of her. I’ve seen her completely bare, but never this close. Her naked body is a work of art, but seeing her this close, even clothed, is so much better.
When my gaze finally tracks back up to her face, my damn dick begs to be let loose. Her eyes are now open and she’s looking straight at me. She appears surprised, which makes me wonder if she remembers me from this morning on the street.
The shock is soon replaced with lust. Her tongue darts out to lick along her lips and her gaze turns hooded. My body responds to her blatant show of want. She doesn’t know me, but she still wants me from just a simple look.
She slowly lowers her arms, her nails dragging over the guy’s neck, then runs them down her sides. They skim along the outside of her tits, over his hands that are still on her hips, to the tops of her thighs. Her eyes stay connected with mine the whole time, as if she knows exactly what she’s doing to me. The guy behind her pushes his hips forward, grinding into her ass. She bites her lip and presses herself back against him. When his lips land on the side of her neck, she tilts her head to the side, giving him better access.
My hand tightens around my beer.
Fuck me. This woman is a goddamn temptress and she knows just what to do to tempt my control.
I grab my dick and try in vain to make more room in my jeans. Her eyes widen when I move my hand away. I bring my beer to my lips and take a long pull. With a smirk, I sit back in my seat and enjoy the show.
