Falling into You -Jasinda Wilder

This was a great read! I have never cried so hard while reading, but hang in there it gets better. I really felt for the characters and fell in love with Nell and Colt...and of course Kyle. I felt this book had a lot more depth than your typical smut read.













Would I recommend this: Hell yes.
Steaminess: 4/5

Play With Me- Kristen Proby

This is book three in the With Me series. It was a quick read and not my favorite in the series, but if you are reading the series in order you obviously have to read it. The love scenes were great. I didn't really get how Will could be a rich football start yet Natalie paid off their parents home. So some things didn't blend too well. Over all it was a nice quick read with hot love scenes.

Next book in this series:
Book 4- Rock With me (release date: May 2, 2013)

Previous Books:
Book 2: Fight with me
Book 1: Come Away with Me

Would I recommend this: Yes, because overall the series is good and the next one looks to be even better.
Steaminess: 4/5

Wreck Me- J.L. Mac

It took me a little bit to get into this book since the main character, Josephine (Jo) was so crass. I got to really like her character though when her shell broke. I absolutely loved Damon. He was the right amount of dominant and sweet. I basically knew what this would boil down to from the first chapter, but it is a trilogy and I can't resist a trilogy. I was left hanging at the end so I am looking forward to the next in the series.

Next book in this trilogy: Restore me  
Accept Me

Would I recommend this book? Yes
Steaminess: 4/5

Truth- Aleatha Romig

Thank God she redeemed herself in this sequel (to Consequences.) I was so depressed after the ending of the last book, but she more than made up for it in this book. It actually reminds me of Beauty and the Beast and I wonder if she meant it to seem that way (Beauty and the Beast hardcore adult version that is.) Again, I had to skim through a lot because it was just a little too much detail 

, too many lulls, but I had to finish the book and I am looking forward to the concluding book! This book will piss off domestic violence victims and feminists so beware.




Series:

Book 1: Consequences

Book 2: Truth

Book 3: Convicted

Book 4: Revealed: The missing years




Would I recommend this: YES! Especially if you read Consequences

The Edge of Never- J.A. Redmerski

This book got excellent ratings on BN.com so I had to buy it and everyone was right! It was such a good book, I was literally crying like a baby at some scenes. I absolutely fell in love with Andrew. The love scenes were great and Camryn actually reminded me a little of myself ;-)










Recommend? Yes!
Steaminess: 3 chili peppers

Consequences - Aleatha Romig

Okay so this book mind effed me. I felt very wrong liking the leading man, Anthony (Tony.) There are times he pissed me off and then other times where I was swooning over him, even though I know I shouldn't. This book was super long and the author should have condensed some of the scenes and made other scenes a little spicier. Over all I really liked the book even if I did skim through some of the pages. The ending left me heart broken and pissed off. I had to buy the second book in this trilogy right away. I have already finished it and will review it, but I don't want to wait until the end of the year/beginning of next year for the third. What the?!
        I must warn readers if they have been a victim of rape or domestic violence this book isn't for you. If you are an extreme feminist, this book isn't for you. I am neither and this book still made me a little upset, and I think I would have Stockholm Syndrome if Tony was my capture.





Next in the trilogy:  Truth (Out now)
                              Convicted (End of 2013 beginning of 2014)





Would I recommend this book? Yes. Don't rush and get it but read it at some point. And remember you may have to skim to get through it but I promise the last few chapters is where it is at. It is a VERY tangled web.
Steaminess? Eh, one chili pepper.

Protecting What's His - Tessa Bailey

I took a break from reading for a bit as I moved back home cross country and got settled in. Now that I am husband free for the next month I have thrown myself back into reading and I couldn't have picked a better book to get back into the groove. Tessa Bailey wrote a GREAT book. I mean I might be biased because Derek (leading man) is an officer and clearly I have a thing for uniforms :-P. But, in all honesty his domineering way had me hot throughout the book. I have to say I liked this book as much as I liked 50 Shades, I obviously love a dominant lead male in my books.












Would I recommend this? Get off my blog and buy it NOW.
Steaminess? Ghost pepper

Teasing Trent- M. Malone

So this was the prequel to One more Day. I am SO pissed I spent .99 cents on it when I could have bought a 200+ page book for .99 cents. she should have made this one free. It was like 59 pages, and it was a good 59 pages because she is a good writer, but c'mon! Maybe I should have read the reviews so I could have been warned. Anyways, it was good I would get it if she offers it for free, but I wouldn't buy it for a dollar. Sorry, I know I sound cheap but I read a TON of books and can get a lot more book for my dollar. When you are reading 3-5 books a week, it matters.












Would I recommend this? If it is offered for free, or she somehow takes it further and makes it longer, by about 150 pages.
Steaminess: 2 chili peppers

Beauty from Pain - Georgia Cates

So with all the .99 cent books out there, I really hate buying one for 3.99 especially one with under 200 Nook pages! But, I read the sample and had to have it. I absolutely love the characters! I started reading it at 10 pm and was done at 3 am. Around 1:00 I went to put it down and was like screw it I need to finish it. I  loved the characters and the ending left me hanging so of course I will be reading part two (Due to come out in the early summer.) Again, this book has both, Laurelyn's point of view and Jack's point of view. Love that!
The book takes place in Australia, and I am not sure if the writer is from Australia but I noticed the American main character using some pretty strange terms, like pony tail holder. She is southern so maybe that is what they call it in the south but we call it an elastic. I have been in Texas for about six months and haven't heard that term either. Either way, I loved the book, I just always pick up on little things when the author is from another country and the character is supposed to be American. Then again, I am from Boston and we have a completely different language.





Would I recommend this book? Yes!!! It is a quick read, well worth it. Plus, it has a sequel and I am a sucker for a sequel.
Steaminess: Definitely three chili peppers, this book was hot.

Disarm Series- June Gray

I fell head over heels with the characters, Henry and Elsie in this book. I purchased this book when it was new, waiting for the next one and the next one to come out. I am not sure if she plans on putting these together all as one book. I do know another one is in the making and I am very much looking forward to it! Elsie's brother was killed in action and she and Henry (her brother's friend and an Officer in the Air Force) live together. One night everything changes. This book made me laugh and literally cry, tears and all.

Here is a list of the books in order:

1. Disarm
2.Besiege
3. Retreat
4. Henry Sessions- this book is optional it is just Henry's psych sessions
5. Engage
6. Capture
7. Who knows! I hope she announces soon!


Would I recommend this book: yessssss!
Steaminess: Varies with book over all I would give it 1, but trust me it is a great book even if there weren't a million "love scenes"

Vanilla on Top- C.J. Ellison

I was hesitant about this book, because of the title. But, I actually really liked it. I thought it had a good story line and I really liked both of the characters, Tony and Heather. I really love books that show both of the characters sides. Ellison goes back and forth with the characters, showing it from both points of view.





Would I recommend this book? Yes
Steaminess: 2 chili peppers

One More Day- M. Malone/Minx Malone

So I started reading this book not realizing there was a prequel before it, so I will read that ASAP. I NEVER do that. How annoying. Anyway, I loved this book. It has a really good story line and wasn't my usual read with the overbearing man. Jackson, the leading man in this book was actually really nice and had none of the characteristics I usually love my male characters having. Ridley was a great character too, even if she frustrated me at times. I look forward to reading the next book. I love, love, love sequels. I love them more when they are about the main characters, but I am interested to hear about Jackson's brother.

Books in this series:
1. Teasing Trent <--- got to get this since this is the one I missed
2. One More Day
3. The things I do for You - this will be out 5/2012
4. He's the Man - this will be out 10/2013 <--- Thanks for keeping us waiting Minx! :)







Would I recommend this book? Yes!
Steaminess: 1 chili pepper

Beautiful Bastard- Christina Lauren

I loved this book! An egomaniac COO and his intern. It was hot. It was quite a short read though, I read it in one night. There were a ton of hot scenes and it was a good story line. I found this to be an easy read that I found hard to put down.




Would I recommend this book? Yes, yes, yes!
Steaminess: three chili peppers

50 Shades of Grey - E.L. James

I don't really think a review of this book is necessary, it's popularity speaks for itself. This was the hottest book I have read for sure! Christian is a controlling billionaire, who in real life we would probably strangle, but on paper is it so hot. Ana is the innocent who fell in love with him and agrees to his contract. The sequel, 50 Shades Darker was just as hot, man can this woman write love scenes. And, the final book 50 Shades Freed was wonderful as well though many people thought it was a little dragged out, I couldn't ever get enough of Christian. The way she ended the book has me wondering if there will be a 4th book from Christian's point of view. I sure hope so!  I read the entire trilogy in 4 days.







Would I recommend this book: Hell yes! It should be at the top of your list.
This book was so hot a chili pepper won't cut it so it got a ghost pepper.

Having My Baby - Theresa Ragan

This book was really cute. It wasn't very realistic but if you are looking for a cute, funny and a little bit sexy read it was good. Who doesn't love a sexy football player...well besides the main character, Jill's, parents? The book is about a woman who turns to a sperm bank to get the baby she always dreamed of and Derrick is the donor. He decided he didn't want to have a child he didn't know out in the world, so his search began for the mother.


Would I recommend it? Yes for a fun read.

Steaminess got one chili pepper.

Gabriel's Inferno/Gabriel's Rapture -Sylvain Reynard

A lot of people will disagree with me on this one, but Gabriel's Inferno was a tough read for me. There were parts I really loved, and parts that took effort for me to get through because I was bored. Those who know me know I usually read a book in one, two days max. These books took at least 3-4 days each. When I saw the reviews that they were better than Fifty Shades, I bought them immediately. I didn't hate these books I just wasn't captured.



Would I recommend this book? Eh, if you don't find anything you think would be better. I wouldn't rush to get to this book.
I gave this two chili peppers for steaminess.

On Dublin Street -Samantha Young

On Dublin street made me laugh and cry. I can't believe the author is only 26! The book was written from the point of view of the main character, Jocelyn. Jocelyn had traumatic events in her life causing her to uproot from America to Scotland. Samantha made you really feel for Jocelyn by giving bits of information about her past throughout the novel. There were steaming hot scenes, really funny scenes that had my husband looking at me funny as a I laughed to my Nook, and scenes where I found my eyes watering. I would highly recommend this book.

Hopeless -Colleen Hoover

Wow! I loved this book, I absolutely loved it! The characters in this book I felt were well developed and the turn in the story caught me completely off guard (which is a little hard to do now that I have read a ton of romance novels.) I couldn't put this book down and I was sad when it ended. There are not many "sexy scenes" but that was okay by me, the book was so engaging. I plan on looking for other novels by this author. I would HIGHLY recommend this book.

Release Me -J.Kenner

I just wrapped up reading Release Me, by J. Kenner. The book was hot. It reminded me a lot of Fifty Shades and Bared to You combined. I didn't feel the same attachment to Damien as I did to Christian or Gideon, but I still couldn't put the book down. The end left me hanging and I quickly "googled" to see if there would be more and there will be! July 2, 2013 the next book will come out called Claim Me. I will definitely be purchasing that one, and maybe in the second book I will fall for Damien. I would highly suggest this book to my friends.

First time blogger

I am new to blogging, but I love to read and figured I would start blogging about the books I have read. I should start by saying I love getting wrapped up in the fantasy, I know if Christian Grey really did exist most women would call him a stalker and be turned off eventually by his controlling nature. However, in a book it is hot! I am not going to over analyze why these things would never be okay in real life and why they would never happen, which I have seen on a few blogs. So if you don't get lost in the book and critique why things would never happen in real life, this blog is probably not for you.
