This was a beautiful conclusion to my all time favorite love story. This couple, that the amazing author CD Reiss has created, is just perfection. I read it slowly, I had to savor it. It was so beautiful and true. I loved every heartbreaking, pantymelting, joyous part!

I don't even know where to begin. I loved CD's dedication page. Her words to her son about her husband were so beautiful, I started melting from that point. There is not a single chapter on my kindle without at least one if not multiple highlights. I would read and think oh my god, thats amazing! Before I knew it, multiple pages of highlights.

This is by far the worst book hangover ever. I always have trouble moving onto something else after CDs work. Her writing is so beautiful that even if you hate the action you're reading about you cant discount how perfect the words are. Just as in her description this is not some riding off into the sunset happy ending love story. This was real and heartbreaking. It was honest and gritty and sexy.

I will read anything by this author because she never disappoints. Im so happy to have found her great work and will be forever in her debt for giving me my favorite book couple. This review was so hard to do because it acknowledges that it's over.

The Guestbook had me in in tears with laughter, sadness and everything in between. I fell in love with Olly and all the characters visiting Willow cottage. Holly Martin tells the tale of love and heartbreak in a new and interesting way through Annie's guestbook. The descriptions of the beautiful cottage and its setting were so real that I was easily transported into the world of Willow Cottage. I devoured the book in a few hours and feel I am only just ready to move onto my next book!

It took me awhile to finish this book, even though I wanted to read it as fast as I could, I also wanted to savor every page. Part One with Dylan and Shane made me laugh and smile, and it also made me cry. The end of their journey made my heart shatter, and I had to take a break and recover. In Part Two we meet Conner, who was so perfect for Dylan in every way. Their relationship brought about new beginnings for both, and a happily ever after that was so beautiful and perfect. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

I don't gush about books often.  This is my 1st book by this author and I feel like I've been shattered with emotions every minute I read.  You can't help but feel every heartache, every joy, every chuckle.  I truly loved  it.

I'm not usually a fan of menage stories, but I was so impressed with the sequel, SERVING PLEASURE, and how well rounded the characters were and how amazing all the feelings were (as well as simply ohmygodHAWT sexy it was!) that I thought I'd give this a try. So glad I did! This was absolutely wonderful. I loved Devi, and the brothers were intense and just... well, perfect. Different from each other, but complementary -- they balanced each other out, and both were perfect for her. And yeah, the sex was off the chain, but more importantly, the emotions were similarly intense and exquisitely balanced. My budget's going to hate me, but I think I'm going to have to pick up everything by Alisha Rai now. Best author I've read in quite a while!

I loved this book from start to finish! I couldn't put it down! I don't want to tell you about it because I want you to read every beautiful, heartbreaking page! It is a story that love can concur all! It is not an insta-love story, it is a gradual, sexy journey! These characters are amazing together! I adored the supporting cast! This book had serious feels! My stomach had butterflies, it plummeted!

All I can say is wow! What a journey I went through! It was like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon! The back story was awesome and I loved Nick and his brother Matt. Nick was an amazing hero. I loved him. He was a dick at first, but it is understandable with all the crap he has been through.

Katherines story will break your heart and then put it back together so it can soar! What an amazing woman that has been through so much and still be such a light for Nick.

I seriously cant wait for the next book in this series! Please be Matt! Please be Matt!

This story captivated me from the minute I read the blurb.  And yet, it was different than I'd expected.  It's a bit gritty, a bit sad, a lot HOT (good gravy, if I was prone to blushing over books, this one would have had me at tomato 75% of the time!  whew!  *fans self*).  And FUNNY!  There are these texts, see, that had me laughing so loudly at one point I'm sure my neighbors thought I was watching some sort of comedy program!  *laugh*

And hidden in all of that is a sweetness that is sometimes hard to get in a book about fighters.  Torment/Max reminded me a bit of Remy (from Katy Evans's Real series).  He's a lot more verbal, tho.  *laugh*  But his heart, his protectiveness, his... torment.  Makayla is perfect for him with her heart and her penchant for healing.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and it kept me captivated all the way to the last line.  *hearts*

This book was so sexy, funny and unexpectedly heart-breaking that I tore through it in a matter of hours and then immediately went back to page one for seconds. Fans of J. Lynn, Colleen Hoover, and Jamie McGuire will adore this first installment of the Good Girls Don't series.  I personally CANNOT WAIT for the second!

5 Gushable Perfect Stars! This book had so many perfect elements to it. It starts out so sad. So, so sad. Emily Goodwin writes emotions so well! I choked up so much in the first chapter. Then I felt miserable yet empty as the chapters progressed. Then things start to turn around and I went from laughing out loud to awing at the cute moments.

I loved the small-town gossip, the stereotypes, the wrong assumptions. I love how Sierra, the female protagonist, decided not to judge people by the rumors of their past, or the stereotypes that label someone as bad just because they have tattoos. She judged them by their actions and character.

Sierra had the perfect life living as a Belmont, the prestigious family in town. However, her life took a turn for the worse when tragedy struck close, leaving her a shell of herself. She went from quirky and somewhat eccentric to surviving each day and barely living.

Her character was my favorite. Her cousinnot so much. I wanted to slap that girl! And I wanted to slap Sierras mother. And Chases pseudo-stepmom, if I can even call her that. Basically, there were a lot of people I wanted to slap. However! However, the people who were good and not judgmental, they were the best people. So good they made up for all the bad ones.

Chase, the male protagonist, was amazing. I loved his character. He had a crap childhood, lived life dangerously, and had the perfect bad boy persona down. With Chase, though, things aren't always what they appear to be

A family matter brings him to Summer Hill, and his brother asks him to lay some roots for a while. Fate seems to step in at this point, and a series of events leads him to a life he never imagined.

This book was a roller coaster of emotions, making this a personal favorite. The more emotions, the better for this reader.  Now I must read more from this author!

I'm going to tell you straight up that Deeper We Fall by Chelsea M. Cameron was sensational! I wasn't really sure what to expect when I started, but I assure you I was feeling all the feels while I read and after!

Charlotte, better known as Lottie, talks too much and I loved that so hard! This girl was freaking funny and had me laughing out loud from her banter with her twin brother, Will and with her inner thoughts and reactions. The best thing about Lottie was her loyalty to her family, friends, and anyone she cared about. Her snarky attitude, the way she speaks her mind and tends to babble when she was uncomfortable was not only charming, but downright fiercely adorable. I was disappointed in Lottie being too quick to judge when it came to Zan, but I understood where her pain and hatred was coming from. I loved that even after all those years, she made an effort to be there for Lexie no matter how hard it was for her. And I really got a kick out of Lottie's passion for books and how she would go on book buying binges when stressed out. I think the girl is after my own bookish heart! 

Imagine my surprise when I found that this book was spilt between Lottie and Zan's points of view. I was more than thrilled to say the least. While I loved Lottie's hilarious lines and her inability to shut her mouth, I craved the deep, dark and angst thoughts from Zan. He gave me huge mutant butterflies in my tummy and made me swoon all over the place when he announced that he loved reading, when he recited poetry, when he freaking ate Pop Tarts for breakfast and when he played the banjo and started singing. The guy was a walking, talking dream boat. My heart cracked and splintered from the all pain and guilt that he felt. He may have been more than six feet tall, known to have meaningless hook ups and even did drugs back then, but I still wanted to wrap myself around him and make him all better because he was the sweetest thing to ever grace this earth. He really wanted Lottie to see he was a different person, but he never pushed and was patient all the time. I simultaneously loved and hated how Zan cleaned up after his brother's messes and still cared despite everything Zack had done.

I love dual POVs and Cameron hit the spot with Lottie and Zan! It couldn't have been more perfectly well written. Being able to get into both of their heads just really added to overall experience of emotions I felt throughout reading book. Cameron really dived deep into Lottie and Zan's characters and I was amazed at their tentative physical and emotional development. The anticipation of them being together was inevitable, but still had me holding my breathe waiting for it to happen. Cameron also does an outstanding job of making the secondary characters prominent in the book. They weren't just in the background, they were memorable and I felt the bond and closeness they all with each other. I loved how though this book centered around Lottie and Zan coming together, it was also about family, friendship, forgiveness, and redemption and Cameron continued to impress me at her ability to weave in all this in a balanced and well profound manner. Though this book had its dark aspects, it is not without wit! I was flailing and grinning more times than I can count. And all the music and literary references was just that flawless touch that made this book the whole package. 

All in all, Deeper We Fall was like tasting chocolate for the first time; luscious at the first bite, addictive when finished.

Its the end of an era for me.  The Experiment in Terror took over my life for a while when I was binging on reading and catching up.  And I loved every second of it.  Since then, Ive become a rabid fan and cant recommend it enough to anyone I talk to.  Dex and Perry are now part of my life.  I was both sad and happy to see the series end.  In a way sad because I really don't want to let them go, I could read about their dilemmas forever!  But happy because I love seeing a series end on a high note and not when Ive lost my love and interest.

That being said, I was petrified to read this.  I had come to all kinds of conclusions of where this book had to go based on events leading up to it.  I had talked to friends and we had plots made out in which there would be bloodshed and death.  And I carefully faced cracking this open.

My thoughts?  Let me try to break them up.

Dex

Dex is as always one sexy pervert.  I wish my sexy pervert.  Hes going through a lot in this book as this final installment is all about him going back to his past and dealing with his demons.  Quite literally.  It was tough to see him crumble.  But there were still moments when he would shine through and be his adorable self.  I laughed with him, I cried a little for him.  I definitely drooled over him quite a bit.  Dex will forever be one of my top book boyfriends.

Perry

I admit I started off this book wanting to slap a bitch.  Shes still kickass but she was turning into a teenager with the way she was thinking, acting and speaking.  Throwing tantrums at times.  She did managed to snap out of that stage and I was all glad for it.  Its amazing to see how far shes really come from the girl we started reading about.  Kudos to you, Perry on still being one of my favorite chicks!

The Shock

Wow.  Did Karina Halle go there?  Yes, she did!  I was surprised about one scene in this book, that I won't say what it is so as to not spoil anything.  I kept thinking it would stop.  But I also see how it was necessary for it to happen so that there would be a moment of clear thinking and realization.  I hurt with Perry, and with Dex for it.  I wanted this further addressed and discussed in the end.

After I got over that shock, there was another.then another. Gah!  My poor heart.

The Horror

After ASHES TO ASHES I was expecting to get be in a fetal position in the corner of my couch with a safety blanket wrapped all around me while I read this and had good view of every angle of the room to make sure nothing was coming at me.  Not quite.  This was a little scary at times, but not nearly as scary as this series has been in the past.

The Smexy

I wanted more, good, hard sexy times!  That is all.

The Words

Karina Halle can sometimes create magic with just words.  And especially the words that come out of Dexs mouth.  That broken man that has given everything he has, his soul, to Perry. But his words make me fall harder and harder for him every time.

I love you. Always. Beyond death.

Satisfied with the ending of the series?

Yes.  Overall I am.  Do I think this is the strongest book in the series?  Not by far.  Did I want it to go out with a bang that rocked my socks off.  Absolutely.  But I think this wasn't it.  I do think all the major threads I wanted wrapped up were addressed.  But overall, Im happy with how things finished and where our favorite couple ended up.  They will be missed.  And I will recommend this series to anyone who wants a good scare and an adorable set of characters to absolutely fall in love.  And because Im greedy and not really ready to let go, now Im ready to continue the saga with Ada!

Where do I start.... twists and turns and laughs and cries and love and hate and pain and pleasure and lust and desire and sooo much more!  I loved this book!

I have been looking foward to this book since year one and I could not put it down once it arrived on my door step from Amazon. I had every emotion reading this book, sadness, laughter, joy and pain. The last chapters I have never cried so hard or felt such joy at the epilogue. All seven books are now tucked away in my drawer put away until the day my kids can read them (or until I pull out the last one and read it again!). If I could rate this book a ten or higher I would.

This was absolutely fabulous. I changed the way I spent my Saturday night because this book sucked me in...dinner plans with the husband and then movie will be done tomorrow I guess because I couldn't stop reading. This is an excellent happily ever after with just the right amount of panty melting sexiness but more importantly I LOVED the characters. Well developed, fun with a fun plot...WELL DONE!!

Seriously? That was just, all sorts of amazing! Jewel had me at "squirrel". (Book reference to the Urban Dictionary. Look it up.)  I'm going to need some emotional therapy, yet I'd so do it again. I came into this book completely unprepared for the emotional roller coaster that would be Trick and Darby. But I'm so glad i did.

Trick and Darby's journey is so beautiful and pure. I love how Jewel can rule your emotions throughout the book without making you feeling like you're in some soap opera melodrama. I laughed, I cried, and my love for these characters is eternal. The story had all my favorite emotions, angst, funny, sexy, and most of all, a love to rival all loves.  Emoji heart, Emoji smiley face, Emoji hug, Emoji smiley kiss!

So, this is the first book I have read in a couple of months that I actually picked out myself and didn't need to read and review by a deadline for release (although those usually make me insanely happy too)...

My neck.
A sway of her tight-white-fabric-covered hips accompanied her off-key singing.
Something told me she didn't know I was standing behind her.
My back. More torture in the opposite direction.
Lick my p***y Ears bleeding. Pants tightening.
and my crack.
Holy. F***.
I had to stop her before it got even worse.
Better.
Quickly, I shook my head to clear it and then reached forward to tap her smooth shoulder.
Hair flung out in an arc, she turned on her heel at warp speed, her eyes widening in horror as she pulled on a white cord to release an earbud from her ear.
S***.

Oh. My. God. I don't know if I have enough words for all the feels this book gave me! I can honestly say that my kids thought I was a little crazy because I was laughing so damn hard at one point. Mr. Kline Brooks is the perfect combination of panty droppingly hot and super sweet with a delightfully filthy mouth and well, he certainly lives up to his nickname! He and Georgia are the most entertaining couple I have come across in awhile, and their families and friends are outrageous and loveable. I am so looking forward to Cassie getting Thatched sometime in the hopefully very near future!

ONE, there are SPOILERS!! I REPEAT SPOILERS BELOW!!

TWO, I will be babbling mess of joy! Try to follow along!

NOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, LETS DO THIS!!!

Wow! Talk about one emotional roller coaster. I laughed, cried, growled, and sang hallelujah while I read. I swear Ms. Dee loves to have me a ball of nerves while I read. Seriously, Dee, I could not stop reading once I started.

So much happened in this book, some of it I predicted would happen, some of it shocked me, and some of it just had me grinning like a fool. This is one the only books that had me crying sad tears with a broken heart one chapter and then crying happy tears when things finally started playing out the way I wanted them the next chapter.

We had love.

We had loss.

We had lots of freaking babies!!  Seriously! HELLLOOO babies! I loved it!

Thank you, Dee for wrapping up this series up with a nice little bow, it felt like everyone was happy and would HEA. I needed that. I have grown attached to Kate, Daniel, Mike, Jess, Conner, Jake, and April.

Okay, I guess I should back this review up and start at the beginning of the book. Cause we had some major things happen before my song and dance occurred at three a.m.

This book started right where Releasing Kate ended. Daniel was still heart broken from what witnessed. And refused to give into his love for her. He was such a stubborn man! Daniel was so stubborn in the beginning and so stinking hot taking care of baby Lucas. He made everyone swoon.

My boy Daniel may have taken longer than I would have liked to realize he could forgive Kate and would. He was hurt that from what she did and was honest when he told her he needed baby steps. He did not know if he could forgive her. Daniel broke my heart more than once when he was realizing he missed his girl. I could not wait to have my dominant alpha male back. I did a little happy dance when Daniel returned and claimed his girl.

Kate knew she made a mistake and worked her tush off trying to prove that she would never do it again. I loved when Kate told Daniel that she might have slept with someone while they were apart but he had a child with another woman so get over it. Daniel needed to hear that from her. She loved Lucas like her own from the moment she met the little guy.

Kate is the glue that holds the group together, the quiet encourager, and the one person they all go to with issues. I will miss Kate and her mommabear ways!

Mike had me swooning from the moment he was first introduce again this book. That man has really grown up. Which is huge since his entire world changed in this book.

Not even me, Kate. Daniel is the only man who should ever be in your bed. Ill always be here for you, until the last breath I take. Youre my soul mate, remember? Were just soul mates of the friend kind this time around. Next time, though, itll be me and you again, I know it.

Mike proved over and over that he had not only Kates back but Daniels as well. He loved them both. I loved that he received his HEA. He was a fantastic dad and found the love he had be searching for as well.

I have waited months to see this HEA! I mean months. I need this so stinking bad. I am still a smiling mess three days later.
