Shaye Marlow is now one of my favorite authors!  This is a great book.  Full length novel that is adult and erotic as well as laugh out loud funny.  The story line is good with real life characters..not just the "prince" we are used to.  I am an avid reader but selective and would pay for future books by her.

I absolutely LOVED this book! I always wonder how Shayla can keep things interesting after all the books she's written, but she manages to do it every time! It was so super sexy I had steam coming off the pages! The mystery kept me guessing and turning the pages as fast as I could to find out "what happens next". You won't be disappointed in this book.

I often brag on Maggie Shayne and The Littlest Cowboy just gives me more to talk about. Shayne flawlessly combines all of my favorite attributes in a book. She gives us a lot of amazing characters with great personalities and physical descriptions. Then there is the deep suspense, a ton of action, and a great romance. When Shayne tells you a story, you're there. You can feel the tension and smell the gunpowder.
The book and the entire series are romantic suspense so my warnings for them seem obvious. There is graphic violence, a lot, in many forms. Also, it contains graphic language and some sex. The sex isn't extremely graphic, nor is there a lot of it but it is there. Last, this is not a light fun happy read. It's tense and emotion packed. I know I had a tear or two come to eye.

I have only read a few chapters but it's a really amazing book. SHAY also did an amazing job narrating the book. Can't wait to finished it.

Finding Home is a great book! I did not want to put it down and loved this story. It was a difficult read because the hero, Sean or "Mouth," is a young street prostitute with a very troubled past when the book opens. Reading about his current life was difficult but it was also hard for the heroine to hear because she was undercover to report about the troubled kids on the street. This made the story interesting to me. When Megan would exchange meals for interviews, those were my favorite parts. My heart went along with Megan's heart towards the kids on the street and their lives together as an underground family.

I really enjoyed reading Megan and Sean's story and seeing them open up to each other. The age difference between these two was obvious at times and at others times it was not so apparent. They fit great together as a couple and Sean was a good guy. Conflict arose for them when Megan introduced Sean to her friends and family. Life off the street was different for Sean for sure. The entire book was very well done and enjoyable for me! I recommend reading this if you are looking for a unique story!

As soon as I saw that Bonnie Dee was one of the co-authors of this book, I had to read it. I also saw the high ratings for this book at Goodreads. Bonnie Dee always gives a great story that is different from anything I have read. I had recently read Bone Deep by Bonnie Dee and it still sticks with me. The writing with both authors in Finding Home was great. I will be looking for books from Laure Baker in the future as well!

I don't typically read graphic novels (aka I've never read one in my life), but when I saw this was an addition to Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series, I knew I had to give it a try! I love the Uglies books, so any new view I'm given into the awesome world Scott created is something I love to see.

When I first started reading it was tough to adjust to the change of medium (getting lots of the story through pictures instead of words). However, after a few chapters in I stopped thinking about how different it was from reading a text book and was able to be completely immersed in the story. I loved seeing the pictures -- one of the things I was fascinated with in the Uglies series is all the technology Scott created. It was super cool being able to see drawings of everything - the ping rings, hoverboards, crash bracelets, spagbol packets, etc. The whole story came to life on a whole new level through the illustrations. The only issue I had was that it was difficult to see the differences between the Uglies, Pretties, and Specials -- they looked pretty similar, except minor details. When reading the series, I imagined the differences to be much more vast then they were in the illustrations in Shay's Story.

This book drastically changed my perception of Shay. It's been a long time since I read Uglies (six years I think!) but I remember thinking that Shay was overly jealous and easily angered. When reading from Tally's point of view, I sympathized with Tally, not Shay. But getting to see the story from Shay's point of view totally changed my opinion of her! I understand now why she was so upset about Tally and David's relationship, and fully sympathize with her feelings. It makes sense why she was upset, and feeling like things weren't working out fairly for her.

This book is a MUST READ for fans of the Uglies series! If you haven't read the Uglies series, I recommend reading the series before reading this part. Great work, Scott!! Looking forward to the next installment of Shay's Story.

I really love Shayla Blacks skill with words. The story-lines she writes are not only passionate, but so are her characters. Maxon Reed and Keeley Kent are as passionate as they come. And not just in a sexual nature, but also in a characteristic nature. Their interaction with one another is witty and flirty and sexy. It keeps you interested and invested.

One of Shayla Blacks writing skills that always stick to my brain is the ability she has to write fresh stories with the same underlying theme to it. She takes an alpha-male and brings him to his knees with an equally alpha female who isn't as overtly alpha as him. What I mean by that is that her female leads have depth you don't normally read. They don't wear their strength on the outside. It is hidden but always there. Keeley Kent was young but took on a very grown-up offer from Maxon to help him close a deal. It was intriguing to see such a young woman play this role. And she did it perfectly. Which of course is due to Shaylas unwavering skill with characterization.

I love this new beginning of a series and cannot wait to see how she moves forward with it and with whom

As is always the case with Mary Connealy, I absolutely loved this book! I have been excited to meet the Wilde sisters for awhile now and I am happy to announce that they lived up to my expectations! I loved how very different they all were and they reminded me a bit of the McClellan sisters from Mary's Sophie's Daughters series.
Kylie was such fun. I loved how determined she was to dress and act like a woman after fighting as a man in the war. She was a great mix of strong, able to handle almost anything, and feminine that made her a fantastic heroine.
Adam was also was great. I absolutely loved his reactions to discovering that Kylie and her sisters were masquerading as men and his complete disbelief that they had managed to deceive their fellow soldiers for several years.
Bailey and Shannon were entertaining and I can't wait to read their stories since I have an idea of who they'll end up with and I know their relationships are going to be hysterical!
I wanted to smack the girls' father since he was a disgrace to the title, making them dress as men, fight, and homestead all because he lost his only son. He didn't even show affection for them!
This was another fantastic book by one of my favorite authors and I am now anxiously awaiting the next two books!
I received this book free from the publisher in exchange for my review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Great book from my new favorite author!  I love a good mystery with a strong female lead character.  I have started to collect a lot of Maron's books.

My Zena is back! I loved this book about Shayla and Rory it was a long awaited story! . Now I am excited and want to know some more about Kian and the others. This story of Shayla and Rory was heart felt and a little dirty just the way I like it. I love the paranormal side in her stories. Zena takes the time to explain her paranormal characteristics and bring this new world to to life. This was worth the wait and the money! Trust me this is an automatic buy, no need for the sample.

Chain of Title is a very well-written book that kept me reading when I should have been doing other things--it's that kind of book! Shayna Chastain is finally divorced from her cheating husband, Frank, and her freedom sets all kinds of events in motion, including a white-hot relationship with Sean Parker, owner of the restaurant that had become her haven during the long months of waiting for her Frank to grant the divorce. Sean and Shayna have been friends until then, but Sean has been waiting patiently for Shayna to be unmarried before he shows her how much she has come to mean to him. The book could have taken us on a voyage of "happily ever after," but instead takes us into a world of deceit and danger her ex-husband has wrought by his shady business dealings--dealings that put Shayna and those she loves in danger. Sean has sworn to love and protect Shayna  and her family at all costs, and the costs are high indeed. This was an immensely satisfying read all the way through, and the surprise ending presents us with the distinct possibility that author Robyn Roze has another terrific Shayna and Sean adventure in the works. I can only hope so!

I have ready about 9 of Shayla Blacks books so far, and this was in my top 2 of her books that I have read. If you love a story of menage and hot sex you will love this book. The characters are great and the story will keep your attention as well as the hot sex. My favorite read of her books was Wicked Ties which remains in my all time top 5 favorite erotic romance books. Enjoy!

Overall Rating:  4.5 Rockin '''''

From the beginning, something was very wrong with the man that demanded I become his wife!  I had no choice but to accept his proposal, my familys lives were holding me hostage. So at the age of eighteen, I became a walking, talking doll remade in my husbands dead wifes image. But his last demand is too much, I cannot do it! Death would be better than this! Lauras POV

In this the first book in the Savage Outlaws MC series, author Emily Minton creates characters and a story that is truly remarkable.  In Beautiful Outlaw we are introduced to Bowie, the Vice President of the MC and Shay, the broken woman that he saves. This is a MC Romance but it is so much more than that!

The first time I saw her picture, I dreamed of her being mine!  Her brother, LOCK and I were friends and watched each others back while in the military, fighting for our country. When we returned stateside and left the service, I returned to my MC family and he became a cop but we still had each others back.  So when he asked me to help protect his sister from her psychotic husband, I didn't hesitate.  I wanted her with me, in my bed, the woman of my dreams.  Bowies POV

Things are never the way we think they will be! Bowie does not recognize the woman Laura has become.  He drops her off and leaves her with the only mother he has ever known, feeling like he has done his part but for some reason cannot stop thinking about her. Slowly Laura becomes Shay the new identity her brother created for her.  But evil is not so easily defeated and the life she left behind refuses to stay in the past.  Bowie also has forces moving against him that he will have to take care of to not only protect Shay but his MC family as well.

Hero: 4.5 stars
Heroine: 4.5 stars
Steam: 4.5 stars
Plot: 4.5 stars
Cliffhanger: No

Would I recommend this book: Yes! This book has it all, heartache, love, danger and mystery.  It also includes strong alpha males that protect those they love.  If your into sizzling sex between two dominate characters, then you want be disappointed with this novel.

Would I recommend this author: Yes! I stand in awe of the amazingly gifted writer, Emily Minton. Her books are remarkable trips into worlds that she creates for her readers enjoyment.  Each character is so well developed that they seem to be more that words on a page, they become friends.  I cannot wait to read her next offering!

Another great read by Marla. I loved how it interacted with characters from her first book She's not There.  It was another book I couldn't put down until the end! Thank you for continuing on in this series and have ordered Girl Undone - and can't wait to get started!

Marlee Rae has quickly become one of my favorite authors! Something Old? Something New? is a page-turner that touches on a wide range of emotions as you're quickly pulled into Dawn's unpredictable world. As someone who loves Love and cherishes relationships with family and friends, I'm sure I will read this book over and over again throughout my life. Great job Marlee! Keep them coming!

I really enjoyed this book. Kept my interest from the very beginning.  There were some grammar issues but this was her first book and she did an amazing job!  I look forward to the sequel....there has to be one.  We want to know what Shayne is going to do!
