I swear to God and all that is holy, I fall madder and more deeply in love with Helena Hunting and her characters as the Pucked series continues.  I didn't think anyone could top Alex Waters in Pucked.  Then came Miller Buck Butterson in Pucked Up.  WRONG!  I Fell hard.  Then I said Ok theres no way anyone will top Miller.  WRONG AGAIN!  Oh.  So.  Wrong.  This book?  I felt like I experienced an intergalactic orgasm!

Randy Balls Ballistic is unlike any book boyfriend Ive ever met.  He had me at The #f*ck you say to her?  I can literally STILL hear that spoon drop in his bowl.  **sighs**  I will NEVER forget that moment.  Its to go down in my Best book boyfriend moments of all time.  Theres just something about him.  Hes chivalrous.  Gorgeous.  Sexy.  Charming.  Hilarious.  Delicious.  I wanted to lock him up in my pussy prison!!!  And Lily?  TO.  DIE.  FOR.  She is my favourite lady.  I could relate to her on so many levels.  And shes just adorable and feisty and simply beautiful in so many damn ways!  She stole my heart!  I want to marry her!

Now.  Put these two together?  BALLISTIC.  MIND BLOWING.  CHEMISTRY.  Oh my God.  Some of the scenes these two had.  Whoa.  I felt like I was zapped right in my vagina emporium!  Some of the things these two would say to each other.  Do to each other.  JFC.  HOTTER.  THAN.  HELL.  Whew.  Ok, lets talk about the FEELS.  Because I have to say I am damn sure I felt them all.  My heart swelled, stuttered and burst with love, happiness and even a bit of pain.  Loved.  It.  And of course, we cannot forget to mention the comedy.  Best.  One liners.  EVER.  I laughed so damn hard I had tears.  My face hurt from smiling so much.  My abs felt like I did a bazillion crunches!  Lily and Randy have touched a part of me forever.  Maybe that sounds cheesy.  But its the truth.  Their love story is funny, sexy, emotional and endearing.  Its everything and all of the things that make the perfect romance novel.

Helena never ceases to captivate me with her originality and purely eloquent writing.  Theres nobody like her.  And that is part of what keeps me coming back again and again.  Shes my kind of crazy <3

Definitely a 5 STAR read!! Grabbed me from the start. I feel in love with Bailey and Liam. Enemies to friends to lovers. Both of them with issues and sadness in their pasts. And in their presents. I loved their enemy/friendship in the beginning. I couldn't wait to see what would become of them. This story took my emotions for a ride . I was laughing one moment. Swooning the next. That I saw this story was testing my heart. I completely love this book and I will recommend to all. Thank you

Matthew is all grown up and following in his step-dad's footsteps by becoming a professional hockey player. After some partying and a lot of bad press, Matthew gets one more shot but he has to agree to one thing. A chaperone. Karrie doesn't want to be Matthew's babysitter. She can't stand him. Then why can't she shake this attraction she has to him? Of course when Matthew sees Karrie, he knows she is "the one". Now he just has to convince Karrie.

This book was spectacular! Full of hilarious rants, hot and steamy passion and heart warming, swoon worthy moments. Matthew is bossy, sexy and sweet. Karrie is beautiful, spunky and full of sass. These two together are hilarious. I absolutely loved this book!!

You will laugh. You may cry. And in true Natasha fashion you will be shocked by a surprise twist. But you will fall in love with Matthew and Karrie's story! 6 stars!!

I loved this book.  I am a huge fan of this series and it was great to read Ben's story.  His story broke my heart at times. He was trying to find himself and get over his heartbreak over Kylie when the unimaginable happens to him. With a broken heart, crushed dreams, and a determination to work things out on his own he meets his soul mate; Echo.  Jasinda Wilder took us on a rollercoaster ride with this series, and this book absolutely followed suit.  My heart broke for Ben, but there were times I wanted to reach into my kindle and smack him!!!  Not that Echo didn't also try my patience with her self destructive ways.  But  and this is a huge but... it all worked. Of course it did, it's Jasinda and no one writes heartbreak and angst like she does.  She sucks you into the story so deep you don't know if it's real or if it's a story. What you do know is that you can't stop reading until you find out for yourself. This series is one of my all time favorites, since the beginning I've loved Nell, Colt, Becca, Jason, and of course Kyle -  we could never forget Kyle or any of the others. And now Ben, has a special place in our hearts. Thank you Jasinda, you never disappoint!

Title:  Shot of Sin

Series:  Vault of Sin Book #1

Author:  Eden Summers

Genre:  Erotic/Romance

Blurb:  Throw back a shot of pure pleasure.

Leo Petrova is between a rock and the hard place in his pants. Shot of Sin, the night club he owns with his two best friends, is short one bartender downstairs. The only available replacement is the upstairs bar managerthe one woman Leo knows he cant take downstairs, cant have, cant touch. The one time he gave in to temptation convinced Leo that Shays no match for his sexual demands.

Only a select few know Shot of Sins guilty secret, that beneath the packed dance floor lies a very private sex clubthe Vault. The place Leo can let his sexual proclivities run wild.

Shay Porter is curious as to why her boss, the king of mixed messages, seems almost desperate to keep her from discovering whats on the other side of the guarded door at the back of the club.

Sliding out of her comfort zone and into Leos arms risks everything. Their friendship, the Vault, and most of all, their hearts.

Warning: This sex club does not carry the governments stamp of approval. Contains devilish debauchery, delightful deviance, and dancing on the edge of the darkest of sexual desires.

Thoughts: This story was off to a great start with the overwhelming attraction between Leo and Shay  the sparks between them are scorching and with Shays sassy mouth ramping up the tension between them, it definitely had my attention from the very beginning. Bring in an illicit sex club hidden downstairs beneath the legitimate night club and bar, and things definitely get ramped up another couple of notches! It was definitely a hot and steamy title, and I loved not just the main characters of Leo and Shay, but also the other characters  Brute and TJ (who I am definitely looking forward to seeing in future books in the series!)

This was my first book from Eden, but with a book blurb like that who could resist reading this one! I will definitely follow the rest of this series (after all, I have to see what happens to TJ and Brute!!), and pick up her past titles as well. When it comes to the downside, my only complaint was that I thought it was a bit unrealistic for Leo to expect her to accept things within the lifestyle without having them fully explained to her. He expected her to be able to make informed decisions  yet never provided her with any information with which to make those decisions.  Disregarding that, it was a great book and one a cant wait to read the next installment of!

5 Crazy Ass Must Read Stars!!!!!

You know, I'm always just a little hesitant to read a book that's a collaboration between two authors but Meghan Quinn has yet to let me down.  So, I put it all on her to deliver being as I have never read Jessica Prince's works.  I was not disappointed in the least.  It was witty, hilarious, steamy, and had a cast of characters that left me wanting to know more about them.

 Gavin had me swooning, fanning myself, and wanting to dick punch him throughout the book.  He really got me so pissed that I wanted to leap into kindle so I could smack him up side the head. I was really having what I refer to as a Blue's Clue's moment there (those who are parents and have watched the show know what I'm talking about).

I love Penelope.  She had me laughing out loud with some of the crap that came out of her mouth.  Such a smart ass.

I need to know more about Scott and Davies and Graham and Paige.  I even want Nick's story.

I really thought I knew what I was getting when I read the synopsis for this new book by Ms. Quinn. I mean she writes gut-busting laugh out loud rom-coms. I'm expecting to laugh my butt off in this one...well that did happen, but I also shed so many tears too.

Aaron is a man that's had a tough life and there are parts of this book that when I read what his life was like, what kind of childhood he had, my heart was aching. He's a man that doesn't understand some of the choices made for him and he wants to be loved. He had that love once with Amelia, but that didn't turn out the way they thought it would and it was at his own hand too.

When circumstances brings these two back together, this is their second chance, except for the small fact that she already has a man in her life. And holy moly when we find out who he really is, there's no lack of fireworks, frustration, and caustic words being spat out!!

On the flip side of these emotional tides we get taken on, there is absolutely the snort inducing laugh out loud moments that Ms. Quinn is so phenomenal at writing. The friendship between Tucker and Racer and their girls was a huge part of this book and I loved their camaraderie, the way they had each other's backs and of course the ever present Little Debbie snacks that have a huge role in this book as in the other inter-connected books.

When Aaron and Amelia are forced to see each other on an almost daily basis, I could feel the draw they had towards each other. Their story is unfolded before our very eyes, both the past and the current. They're on fire together in every way you can imagine. Sometimes to the point that my thighs were clenched together. I so wanted them to find their second chance and just push all the outside influences away so they could get to the heart of the matter and that's getting their "us" back.

But alas, it's not that easy. But, I just knew Ms. Quinn would NOT break my heart anymore than it already was because that would just be mean!! When it's all said and done, this is a book that allowed me to experience an emotional avalanche. The heart she puts into each and every one of her characters re-solidifies why she's an author that no matter what she writes I'll be first in line to one-click because she NEVER disappoints!

A real good book that blows me to pieces means that I send text messages to my friend in rapid succession going wild about just how amazing it is! Say Something by T.A. Roth is THAT sorta book & goodness, do I have lots of praise to say about this authors debut novel.

What I loved most about this book is that she took something most would consider vanilla, and turned it into something scorching hot. HOT like it caused my pants to melt right off of me and I felt the heat continue to linger long after the book ended. Ari is KICK ASS! I crave heroines like her. A girl next door persona with a whole lot of sass, smarts, and class. There is a darkness that surrounds Ari and when those flashbacks come through, man Did my heart reach out to her. And to be completely honest, certain details of certain events undid me; the bile crept its way up my mouth, disgust taking root deep into my psyche. Ari is incredibly brave, she took hold of those memories and didn't allow them to cripple her. Its heroines like her that just blow me away. Ben Rodriguez Hello, new book boyfriend! A big man on campus with a shining future. A one time player who knew that hed change for the one woman with those hypnotic hazel eyes. You guys, he DISARMED me. I was putty in his strong, caring hands. I loved how completely open and honest he was about his feelings for Ari in and out of the bedroom.
Just WOW!!!

These two together hit boiling point. Like Ive said before, I would take their kind of vanilla over any kink out there at any time, every single day. The right blend of sweet and dirty, their hottie tottie scenes were the perfect thigh clenching formula! End of.

The plot twist that leaves off as a cliffhanger in this book Ive got to say is by far one of the very best Ive read. I literally yelled out nooooooo!!! Arms flailing, heart skipping, mind blown. I am riding a wild kind of book hangover right now and while I usually wish for the fall season to come for fashion reasons, this year, I wish for it to come sooner because I cannot wait for the follow up, Say Nothing to be released.

One of the main reason behind why I picked this up in the first place was the blurb. I loved that the author put that question out there for us A question that was almost a dare.

What happens when you both have pasts that threaten the future? Do you do nothing?
Or
Do you Say Something?

She made me want to answer that question and with a resounding yes, I am incredibly glad that Ive been left with being able to say something(s) that could hopefully lead to many more of you out there to give this debut novel a chance. I guarantee, you will NOT regret it!

Her laughter echoes in my mind and I sit up.  It is so damn contagious. Hearing her sweet giggle does things to me that I have never felt before.  It is confusing.

4 destroyed stars!!

This book is an emotional roller coaster!  It deals with sensitive issues that might be a trigger for some!  Jade has grown up in the MC lifestyle, so she knows what shes dealing with, but when she loses her family suddenly shes left under the care of her uncle.  But when her only family betrays her and imprisons her for four years, where shes beaten and abused, she wishes for death.  The book just takes crazy turns after that, and youll be guessing whats going to happen next!

I have such a book hangover after reading this book!  Its so gritty, but well written and interesting.  I couldn't put the book down, I had to find out what was going to happen next!  Cant wait to see what comes of this series!

This is a story about first love. Tragedy hits these two families. Tears them apart in a cruel manner. We do have a HEA. One-click now!! A must must read!!!

Where do I even begin with this book?! If you have read and loved 'Bully' by Penelope Douglas like I have (and if you haven't-why the heck not?!) then you will become just as obsessed with this book as I have. It was an interesting cross between that and Romeo & Juliet. There was so much hurt and anger in here you couldn't escape it. Emotions will run wild as Dane pulls one douche move after another and your heart will bleed for Kennedy - there is definitely no shortage of drama, tears, and frustration, not to mention plenty of smokin hott sex. The build up between these two is intense but totally necessary, considering their pasts. As frustrated as I got with them, well-mostly Dane, it wouldn't have been believable if it went down any other way than it did and would have totally killed the story for me. The pace was non-stop, the secondary characters were AhFrigginMazing, the dialogue flowed perfectly - I never once thought 'Who talks like that?'. I really have no complaints. There was even an unexpected twist towards the end that made me smile, even amongst the heartbreaking situation. I cannot believe that Tamsyn Bester has managed to fly under my radar before now, but you can believe this book has changed that. She has slammed her way onto my One-Click-Addiction List one scream and blush at a time and I cannot wait to see what she brings us next. I am really REALLY hoping to see more from this group. I am dying to see Reid and Jade get their own story, heck - I want one for Chase too cause I'm just that greedy PLUS I want more Grady!! Anyone who likes a romance that breaks you apart before piecing you back together, and they don't mind some tears with their steam, then I suggest you get this book immediately. You won't regret it.

*I volunteered to review a Copy of this book from the Authors*

Thank you so very much to the Max Monroe writing duo!! I am extremely honored and grateful!! :)

After reading the whole series and falling in love with so many characters and laughing so many times it should be illegal for it all to end! It was bittersweet! I'm so very thankful that there is going to be a spin off series though!! This writing duo rocks and I adore them so much! It was nice to see the whole gang back together again!! I'm still on the fence about which couple I love more because it's too hard to choose!!

I loved the fact that we got to see more of Wes and Winnie's lives after everything that had happened In Scoring the Billionaire!! They once again left me a blubbering happy mess as did the rest of the gang! Kline and Benny are as adorable and sexy as ever! Cassie and Thatch are so sweet but of course so very hilarious!! Each character brings something unique to the series and they are all special! They will forever own a part of my book loving heart and I will re-read these books for years to come!!

First off what I should've done was post my review after I read this book....I mean really self?!?! (2 slaps to the face) Anyways, let me begin by saying that this book not only left me with the most biggest book hangover ever, but it ripped my insides to pieces. It's kind of hard to not love a book when your life can relate to it. I mean I went through a phase in my life where I was constantly had to fight my weight. Having to feel like you WEREN'T GOOD ENOUGH literally took over my life. The way Charlie felt about her image hit close to home, every feeling I felt reading this book. I love her so much but then I want to ask her "WHY?!?!" lol. And Jesse?! GEEZE!! Don't even start me in him, I'm inlove with him but I want to punch him....then again I don't because he's dealing with his demons. **HEAVY ASS SIGH** If you want a book that's going to leave you with wanting more, you want to feel every emotion that I never knew existed before, if you want to forget to breathe, if you want to experience the kind of love thay is worth fighting for.....THEN DAMMIT TO HELL!!!!! YOU GOTTA GET THIS GEM LIKE RIGHT FAWKEN NOW!!!!! This story will forever hold a piece of my heart and soul. THANK YOU AMALIE SILVER FOR SHARING YOUR AMAZING TALENT&I FAWKEN LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!

P.s. PATIENTLY WAITING FOR MORE!!

4.5 fantastic stars!!  I am so excited for this series. I love all these men!!

This is book two in the Preload series. It can be read as a stand alone but you will love all these guys!

Elliott and Kendalees story...

Elliott~ I love Fire. Let it burn. I love singing and playing guitar. Rock on. One thing I have never loved is a woman of my own. I don't need it, I have too many issues. Until this kids mom throws me completely off of my game...

Kendalee~ My marriage is over, my son is stuck in the hospital in a lot of pain, I am homeless, and life has never been so bad. I have to make sure my baby is ok, so much has happened and I just cant seem to get life together. But I will put all my effort into doing just that. I didn't realize that maybe I needed something too....

My thoughts..

What a beautiful story. It was painful and raw but so dang pretty. I love Elliott, he is exactly my type. Rough around the edges but has such a big heart. Omg the cover is perfect for him too. Swoooonnnn!!!  I think their relationship was great and realistic.  I love how tight all the guys still are and how they are all just jerks with these beautiful soft spots!  Lennon worries me so I can not wait for his story.

This book invoked many different emotions.  I felt sad, determined, angry (Adrian is a jerk), frustrated, sexy, loving, funny and so many other things. It was written perfectly.  You do not want to miss out on this series, and def not this book!

**I received this book as an ARC via NetGalley and in return gave my honest review**

I devoured this book in a matter of hours no lie !! Just as I did every other Megan Smith book I have read !! Which I believe would be all of them !!!!!!!!!! Then of course I bawled my eyes out like a snotty little toddler throwing a temper tantrum from about 85% on !! This is also not new to me when it comes to Megan Smith , she does enjoy torturing in some of her books. This is why I read , I love being tortured and teased and kicked in the gut , not in real life just in my wonderful book life. I was destroyed and wasn't sure I could even start another book but after a few hours of sleep here I am writing my review and moving on. I won't forget , but I also am feeling more at peace with the ending. I am looking forward to more from the original gang , I mean Cooper must have had some serious struggles with this and I of course want more of everyone I feel they all have more to tell !!

If you have read Megan's other books you will already know all the characters , even Eli and Layla , and you will have already seen some of this play out through Cooper and Jay's POV. I love multiple POV's , love being in everyone's head !! This book is mainly about Eli and Layla but you do get quite a bit of Cooper and Jay since they are each others besties and they lend some POV as well. Eli's story is pretty straight forward. He is everyones savior and protector. He protects and runs the club while Cooper is away for baseball , he watches over Jay and Cooper's house as well. He protects his sister from her dumb exes and spoils his niece rotten. He wants to take care of and protect Layla as well. He very rarely has a selfish moment. Until he is frustrated and drunk. He is an amazing guy and I loved every piece of him that we got. I mean I hate bar flies but no doubt he was hot and I enjoyed envisioning the cover model as Eli in action !! He is intense in everything he does. The pull he feels towards Layla is scary intense and full of passion. You know when he gets what he wants it will be EPIC !! Eli deserves some happiness for himself. Layla is living a nightmare. Her mother comes and goes as she pleases leaving Layla to care for her little sister and take care of bills to their crappy apartment. Layla relies on her abusive boyfriend for just about everything and he willingly gives and expects too much in return. Thankfully by the time we get to Layla she has had enough and we see her strength building. Sadly she doesn't tell anyone anything about her life not even those who think they are her best friends. After a few too many events that strike Eli and Jay as weird they finally get to the bottom of Layla's secrets and the desire they have to help is amazing. Once life starts to turn around for Layla and her little sister Fallon we also see the even more amazing side of Eli !! I swear their relationship is beautiful and heartfelt and so full of love and emotion before they even make it official. All the while you are on the edge of your seat just waiting for Brain , the abuse now ex ?? I mean between him and the mom it really is a roller coaster of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Well it drops and it drops hard and heavy. I think I went through a whole box of tissues. It will gut you , maybe ?? Maybe not ?? I mean I expect some drama and heartache from a Megan Smith story but this was a whole new level of it. HOLY WOW. The ending , the 6 months later , the letter , OMG as if I wasn't already destroyed. So am I being vague , probably , but you know what just go read it !!

5 Crazy Ass Must Read Stars!!!!!

Do you have a favorite author that you stalk and keep track of when their new releases with a countdown timer? Well Meghan Quinn is like that for me. Over the past three years I have read a lot she has written and she is an automatic one-click for me.
Meghan Quinn continually surprises me with her stories whether it be the "Love Octagon" in the Love and Sports series, hot swimmers and a diver in the Stroked series, the hilarious story of a virgin smut writer or a story of four people trying to find their way with "Life". She totally threw me for a wild loop with this book. The versatility of her writing just amazes me.
I was an emotional yo-yo throughout this book. One minute I'm busting a gut. The next, I'm sobbing. Then, I'm swooning over a guy who does these amazing things but is quite an a-hole otherwise.
This book need to be experienced first hand so I'm ending my review here. One-click this now. Come on, I triple dog dare you.

PS.
My absolute favorite part is the last "Dear Life" letter. It left me crying happy tears, with a sense of hope, and a better understanding that things do happen for a reason. I love you Meghan and wish you and your family all the love and best things in life.
