If I were to use one word to describe this novel,it would be "BEAUTIFUL". Mandy Lou Dawson took a "Taboo" topic and turnrd it into an amazingly warm,heart wretching love story. Chatting with the author I simply knew that i would adore her work! A story of step-siblings turned best friends,eventually into lovers & then strangers due to their fear of how society would visualise their love for eachother. They were incompetent without one another,unable to have normal relationships,trying to keep theirs platonic and yet failing miserably!!!Fear played the greatest factor between Sophie and Logan but like all HEA novels "love" prevails and this couple realizes that right down to their marrow,they belong together...FOREVER.I laughed,cried,got angry...seriously pissed off but the warmth it left in my heart in the end is what I'll keep from this romance. Thank you Mandy for the ARC...I feel very privileged and honoured...can't wait for the next TABOO novel. 5 stars are all yours baby!!!

This was an awesome book!  Really different from the other auction books I've read. The plan was to buy her innocence, but it didn't quite go as planned. The revenge plot was so good I was on the edge of my seat waiting for what happens. The love and sex was delicious!  I've read everything this author has written and this book did not disappoint!  This author really knows how to hook you from the start and not let you go till it's over!  The ending was epic!!  Enough said!!  I received this ARC and am voluntarily reviewing it!!  5 stars all the way, baby!!!!!

I don't get the title but the book was awesome! Sex, stripping, pregnancy, anger, love, plotting, lying, stealing, drugs, liquor, jealousy, rape, abuse, murder, and backstabbing. With all that I couldn't put this book down. I was actually mad that I had to go to work because I didn't want to stop reading! My only wish is that this book was longer. . .  and maybe that it had a happy ending.

I agree with AndreaDenise, I noticed a few inconsistencies. One in the beginning when Khia and her man where having sex and it said he grabbed her HUGE @$$ and then a few pages later the author wrote about how small her butt was. Then when Nautica was driving in her Benz in the beginning of the chapter it read that she glanced at her bag full of money but then at the end of the paragraph it said she got out and opened her trunk to grab her bag full of money. Plus there were a few typos but no biggie, I just happened to notice.

Betrayal .... ... living in a world of betrayal, hatred and revenge due to childhood abuse and neglect.. It can be very graphic at times ...The author does an absolutely brilliant job creating the antihero , Helen King , Taking the reader to some very dark and disturbing places with the character...... She also touches on the female struggle in a man's world with Detective Brennan , DI..,, in charge of the murder investigation who can be very rude and cruel at times ,possessing a very tough outer shell . There are many twists and turns throughout novel!!!! It definitely exercises the mind.... This book is highly recommended..

AWESOME!!! FINALLY AN AUTHOR WHO WRITES WHAT I WANT TO READ!!!

This novel was amazing.  The male was sexy, twisted, and the female knew from the beginning how **ed up he is.  This is a guy who comes very, very close to being a sociopath.

I liked how every single time the girl thinks she has got her plan figured out i.e. 'I will do this and just survive' he does something truly messed up [in the psychological way borderline phyiscal] and sends her crumbling again.  I am a fan of sadism, I guess.

I look forward to getting inside of his twisted mind with the next novel.  I hope the author continues to write more novels like this.  And I like that the female character was so young.  Not many people feel comfortable writing about that, but to be honest it upped the ante because she was literally days out of high school.  It makes it all the more twisted.

And I liked that she kept the guy under 30.  Authors love the magical ages of 30, 32, and 33.  I like that he was 28.  Maybe because when I was in high school I thought guys in their twenties were the perfect age.  I don't know.  It's nice.  Authors seem to permanently equate maturity with thirties but that is NOT TRUE.  Maturity boils down to healthy coping skills.  And in this day and age it is perfectly believable to be a rich man at 20.  Just look at the guys and gals who founded fb.

Revenge was more than he bargained for! A fast-paced book that takes us on the journey for revenge with the realization that he wants more! Great characters with an angst filled story. The only thing I wanted a little more of was more of was seeing him in his glory working with the horses and bringing the horse-racing more into the plot.

Mason Harrington has stewed for one thing for all of his adult life ... revenge on those who ruined his father all those years ago. The inheritance he and his brother came into unexpectedly has given him the means to put that plan into action ... and the second he hears the Hyatt estate could be his, he jumps at the chance.

EvaMarie Hyatt has never lived down the impact Mason had on her life, but the circumstances of her life left her with no strength to stand up for him, or even for herself. When Mason gets his revenge, she's left with no option than to stay and work for him. Day in and day out of humiliation ... but also so much temptation. Will she finally be able to step up and go for what she wants?

What a great book, could hardly lay it down, it's so well written and interesting.  From escape and survival, to pay a debt, owed to her dead family, this Lady did whatever it took, to chase down the bad guy.  Along the way she, questioned herself, her secrets and all this makes a memorable and believable love story.  This, I would grade as WOW, an A+.  Lot's of action.

This book was good w/never ending drama (I'd rather read about it than have it in my life) I will not give anything away BUT don't pass it up. You will not be disappointed in this purchase...When will men ever learn about playing w/a woman's heart?? and more importantly, we women are NOT all the same.

deceit, lies, love and drama filled--a lil book w/ a big punch.

yippeeee for no errors and a smooth overall read..lord the TWIST had me going back a few pages, to make sure I read correctly.
DEEP!!

Thank you Street Love for NOT making this all about DRUGS and GUNS, it gets tired. That's all the urban books have are drug kingpins & queens w/a lot of guns and strapping up, I can catch that crap on the nightly news!

instead you took us behind mansion doors for a more intimate look at relationships and the women & men in them..

This book was given to me by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.......well all I can say is what an emotional rollercoaster..... this great story has it all great sadness, loss, humour and love. Centred around Aubrey, a sassy, gorgeous school teacher and Noah a sexy firefighter this is a wonderful romantic story with comedy, angst and steamy sex in good measures. Aubrey's father has cancer and is seriously ill ; she has no time for love and romantic commitments but then Noah comes into her life and what seemed so certain becomes much more complicated...the scene is set for laughter, tears and joy. Supported by a wonderful cast of characters; this book captured my attention from the very start; grab a box of tissues and dive in.

The Mark Of Kane is an excellent read, full of twists, turns, and sensual sex. The storyline moved with a continues flow, the action was exhilarating, and the emotional aspects tugged at my heart strings as well as frustrate me to no end...in a good way...I connected :-)

The attention to detail of the people, places, and things was remarkable. I really felt like I was there, in the story, with the characters. I could actually see what Nadia Aidan wrote as I read it. The words jumped off the pages like a 3D rendering of her thoughts.

The main characters were strong, intelligent, clever, yet complex, open, honest, and vulnerable all at once. Not to mention very attractive. I found all the different interactions between Logan, Nikita, Kyle, and Sharyn, to be both dynamic, and believable.

The scenes were so well written, one could tell the writer did their homework in researching every aspect of the story, and the hard work paid off. The pages came alive, a pictorial phraseology, that could only be matched by the silver screen. In fact, this novel would make a great movie.

I loved ever second of it. It hooked me from the first line in the prologue. I can't wait for a follow up. I hope it's sooner than later.

"A Dollar outta 15 Cent Part 2" was wonderful!!! All I can say is "wow" after finishing this book!
Portia is back and it  is a few years later. Things seems to be going good in her life, and the life of her girls Laila and Fatima. Cas, Wise and Jay are baaaaaaaaalin' outta control with Street Life Ent. Laila is doing well for herself. And Fatima and Portia have their own little publishing company. But one crazy dramatic event after the other pops up in their lives. Portia and Jay are married, Fatima and Wise are married. and Cas and Laila are married...just not to each other.
Cheating men, scandalous acquaintenances, hot sex, heartbreak, pain,lawsuits, murders, and life changing situations fill the pages of this sequel.
This book is defintely a rollercoaster ride, but it was well written. the ending left me hanging!!! I hope there is a part 3!!!

This book is fun, risque, and well written! I did not want to put it down... I had to find out what was going to happen to the well developed characters in this witty story! There's emotion, steamy scenes, and much more! There's a unique realness to these characters not often portrayed in literature! I highly recommend this, and cannot wait to read more by Elizabeth Hayley!

This book is a real "pleasure" to read! (Pun intended) ;)

I really enjoyed this novel, read it in a matter of hours as one of our book club reads.  To say I was shocked was an  understatement!  You really don't people sometimes and those closest to you can prove to be your worse enemy.  I felt so bad for Laura, living with a repressed memory of something so horrible, and then to find out who really committed this heinous crime, WOW!!! Great novel Leslie Wolfe!
