What The Lightning Sees by Louise Bay ~Review

What the Lightning Sees: Part Two by Louise Bay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

**Warning may contain spoilers**

What the Lightning Sees: Part two is another great instalment in the Lightning series. Part two picks up shortly after where part one stops. After hearing a conversation between Jake and Haven’s boss, Haven is upset by what she hears. Thinking that everything that had happened between herself and Jake is all a lie, Haven is heartbroken. Building back up her walls and pushing Jake out even when he reaches out to set things right with her. Focusing on a new story about a prestigious dating service, Haven dives into a few dates with the men that belong to the service to get her story. Jake again is assigned to photograph Haven and her dates. Of course, nothing goes as planned. Jake isn’t afraid to show Haven his true feelings for her and that he is jealous of the time she is spending with these other men. He fights to break down the walls Haven has built up and to win her back.

As like part one, part two is just as fast of a read and ends with a crazy cliffhanger I didn’t see coming. Louise Bay is fast becoming one of my must read authors. Her writing style is exactly my cup of tea! I can’t wait to get my hands on part three of What the Lightning Sees because I need more Jake and I have to find out if Jake and Haven will get their happy ending.

Haven Daniels is uptight, smart and a bit of a bitch – the perfect challenge for Jake. It doesn’t hurt that she’s movie star beautiful and has no idea.

Forced to work together, verbal sparring turns into sexual chemistry but men like Jake are trouble and Haven has had enough trouble to last her a lifetime.

Will Haven give into Jake’s charms? Can Jake peel off Haven’s prickly mask, revealing the woman he knows lies beneath?

Kissing Madeline by Lex Martin ~Review

Kissing Madeline by Lex Martin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed Kissing Madeline by Lex Martin. I’ve been looking forward to this book since I read Dearest Clementine. Dearest Clementine is the first book in the Dearest series and in that book is when we first meet Daren. Daren was Clementine’s ex-boyfriend and even though he had done her wrong, I still really liked him by the end of the book, so I was really happy he was getting his own story.

Daren is now a hot new professional football player focused only on football, especially after his long term girlfriend have broken up. After catching her boxer boyfriend cheating on her, Madeline has sworn off man or more like men that are athletes. Madeline is assigned to report on a sports segment at work that centers around football and the hot new football star, Daren. Not only are they working together, but they are also living across the hall from each other. Daren and Madeline are very attracted to each other, but are both dealing with trust issues after the last relationships. Unable to fight their attraction for each other, things start to heat up and fast. Friends with benefits is the plan, but the more they spend time together the more their feelings grow.

Daren and Madeline steamed up the pages for sure, but they also had a fun and caring relationship which I like to read. Plus Daren was so good at being sweet and caring to Madeline, but also could get down and dirty!! For those who have read the two previous books they will be happy to know that both couples from the other books are back. It was great to see how their relationships have grown. Kissing Madeline can be read a stand-alone, but I would recommend to read that other books in the series because they are just as good.

Review~ Only For Us by Cristin Harber

Only For Us by Cristin Harber
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Only For Us in the third installment in the Only series.

Only For Us picks up right where Only For You leaves off, but in this installment we get to see what happens now that everyone knows that Grayson is alive and is back in town. Like the previous books, Only For Us in short, steamy, but this has the very adorable Cally in it. That little girl was super cute!

What I really like about this series is that each installment is almost like watching a TV episode the way it’s told. With each book that comes out we get the next episode. I can’t wait for Only For Forever, the final installment.

Grind by Sawyer Bennett ~Review

Grind: A Legal Affairs Story by Sawyer Bennett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

If I was going to describe Grind in one word, it would be HOT!!!! Bennett ups the steam and the relationship between Cal and Macy in Grind.

Grind picks up right where Clash leaves off. Macy needs a lawyer and Cal is the best man for the job, one problem, they both still want to have sex with each. Being Macys lawyer and sleeping with her is a conflict of interest for Cal. So they both decide to keep the sexual part of their relationship secret. As feelings grow Cal wants more from Macy but Macy is too scared to share all of her and her secrets with Cal.

Macy grew on me a little more in Grind from Clash, but I still don’t really connect with the character though. Some of the sex scenes were a little kinkier or risqué for my taste too. Grind ends with another cliffhanger, so I will definitely be reading Yield. I want to see Macy and Cal get the HEA.

Grind Synopsis:

Grind (verb): to weaken or destroy gradually Macy Carrington is not the woman I once thought her to be. What she does not allow her heart to feel, she gives with her body. The sex between us is explosive and depraved. I’ve done things with her that would never have crossed my wildest imagination, and I can’t ever seem to get enough. But now I want more from her. I want to figure out her dark secret, expose it and then help her to heal from it. I know, without a doubt, that Macy is capable of love, and I will grind her down until I make her accept the truth of it. Grind (verb): to wear down, polish, or sharpen by friction Cal Carson is not the man I once thought him to be. Strong, determined, sexy as hell and a beast in the bedroom. He is every woman’s fantasy. He is my fantasy. But no matter how hard Cal tries to grind me down, my heart and secrets are mine and mine alone.   Goodreads Link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25184940-grind

Review~ What The Lighting Sees by Louise Bay

What the Lightning Sees: Part One by Louise Bay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What the Lightning Sees follows Haven Daniels and Jake Harrison. From their first meeting Haven and Jake dislike each other based on what they each believe the other one is like. But when they are forced to work together they slowly start to realize that there is more to the other than they thought.

I really liked Haven; she came off to others as an uptight and bitchy, but because of that she didn’t have a lot of friends. I don’t think she really means to come off like that and because of that I felt bad for her. I felt she really did want to be liked by her co-worker, but she was just kind of the odd duck out in her office.

I first became of fan of Louise Bay when I read her Empire State trilogy and loved it, so I was excited when I received my arc for her new series What the Lightning Sees. I so wasn’t disappointed, I really enjoyed part one and can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of the series.

Yours Completely by Joyal Ryan

 

  Exclusive Excerpt: If I was going to feel something, damn it, it would be something good. And it wouldn’t have anything to do with Jack or his memory. It would be mine. My actions. My emotions. My control. Cal stared at me hard. “What do you see when you look at me?” The question was so blunt, so honest, I couldn’t escape it. I gazed into his blue eyes and wondered for the thousandth time what my life would have been like if I’d met Cal first. So many doubts and unknowns. But in that moment, the answer to his question was suddenly clear. “I see my next mistake.” Without thinking, I grabbed his shirt in my fist, and kissed him hard. His hand slipped to my nape and he pulled me into him until my lips mashed further against his. I moaned, instantly recognizing him from all those months ago. But this time it wasn’t soft, it was heavy and intoxicating. His free arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me into him, my legs spreading wide until my skirt bunched enough to give room for him to be flush against me. Every part of him was hard, strong, and surrounded me. I didn’t reach out, didn’t cling to him the way I wanted, because that would be too much. I wouldn’t reach out for anyone again. It wasn’t a smart action, and I’d learned that reaching only gave room for them to pull away. So, I kissed him, keeping my hand locked on the center of his chest, grabbing only the soft cotton there. I leaned in as he worked his mouth over mine, his tongue seeking and dueling. He pulled me even closer. The thick material of his fire pants scratched the insides of my thighs, and God damn, it felt good. Even better was his hardening cock that hit just the right spot and had me seeing stars behind my closed eyes. I bit his lip and thrust my tongue hard. Deeper. The wantonness that lay dormant in me was rousing. With every touch, every taste, I awakened a little more. Wanted more. Wanted him. His stubble rubbed against my chin, delivering a delicious sting as he dove his tongue in deep, tasting everything I was. I itched to wrap my arms around him and pull him closer. But I stayed strong. Kept my distance. He plunged again, and it felt like his mouth was showing exactly what his body could do to mine. He retreated to bite my bottom lip, then thrust deep once more. The burn of his skin against mine and the consuming way he kissed me was dizzying. I pulled back, and on a heavy breath asked, “Do you ever wonder what would have happened if you hadn’t gotten called to a fire the night we met?” “Every damn day.”

For fans of J Lynn, Jodi Ellen Malpas and Sylvia Day comes Yours Completely, an all-consuming, raw and powerful love story . . . Lana Case knows what it feels like to be tossed aside - first by her family and then by the man she naively believed was her true love. But when Jack leaves, reconfirming that she isn't worthy of love, her world shatters. The last person Lana thought to find refuge in is an adrenaline-junky firefighter, let alone Jack's best friend. Yet Callum Malone's easy-going, playboy persona is just what she needs. When Lana finds herself the target of a stalker who isn't going away, Callum not only welcomes her into his home, but also into his bed. Unable to deny the chemistry between them, Lana gives in and after a night of fiery passion discovers what it finally feels like to not only be cherished - but safe. Lana and Callum are falling fast, knowing they're both far out of their depth. And then Jack returns to claim the woman he left behind . . . Addictive and unforgettable, Lana's story will seduce, surprise and stay with you. A brand new romance by the #1 Bestselling author of Break Me Slowly, the Reign series is an emotional roller coaster you'll want to keep riding forever.

Review~ Clash by Sawyer Bennett

Clash: A Legal Affairs Story by Sawyer Bennett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So I’m mixed on my feelings for Clash. I love Sawyer Bennett’s books and I loved her Legal Affairs series that Clash is a spin off series from. Clash is the story of Cal and Macy’s, which for those who read the Legal Affairs series are Matt’s ex best friend and Mac’s best friend. These two do not get along. They are always at each throat. While at a child’s birthday party things come to a head between them and it gets really STEAMY!!!!!!!

My issue with Clash was that I didn't see the connection between Cal and Macy and I thought Macy was kind of cold. But that might have been the point of the first book because these two aren’t supposed to get along at all and Macy according to Cal is an “ice queen”. I’m looking forward to the next book Grind to see if my feeling towards the characters will change.

Arc provided by the author for an honest review.

 

Clash: A Legal Affairs Story (Book #1 of Cal and Macy’s Story)

Sawyer Bennett

Release Date: April 7, 2015

 

Clash, a novella, is the first book in this Legal Affairs trilogy (Cal and Macy’s Story) and is releasing on 4/7/15. Grind will be released on 4/21/15 and Yield will be released on 5/5/15. Grind and Yield are full length novels. Clash Synopsis: Clash (verb): to conflict, disagree. It might be fair to say that I despise Macy Carrington. She slings insults with precision, not caring about the destruction she leaves in her wake. We clash in a battle of wills every time we’re around each other, and yet… I still fantasize about being lodged deep within her body. Clash (verb): to come together or collide. I have never encountered someone that grates me the way Cal Carson does. His pompous, arrogant demeanor. A holier-than-thou attitude. Any interaction with “Saint Cal” ends in a verbal clash of epic proportions, and yet… there’s no one I’d rather have in my bed than him. Clash (noun): a battle, fight or skirmish. Her breathy moans mingle with the sound of our flesh coming together, clashing with the silence that surrounds us, dispelling any notions I once had about Macy Carrington. Maybe I can break down her walls if we can call a truce to this battle. He whispers filthy words in my ear, provoking feelings I never knew were possible. The burning desire in his touch clashes with everything I once believed about Cal Carson. Maybe he can be the balm I need to soothe my broken soul, if only temporarily.

We're celebrating the release of WHEN I'M GONE by New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Abbi Glines!

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines comes the next new adult novel in the Rosemary Beach series, in which we meet Mase, a Texas heartthrob first introduced in Take a Chance who comes to Rosemary Beach to stir things up.

I had an urge to fix all her problems. Which was stupid. She was doing fine without me. But something about those big eyes…

Mase Colt-Manning has always preferred his humble life as a Texas rancher to his birthright as the son of a legendary rock star. In fact, he rarely visits his father’s rarefied world in Rosemary Beach, especially if it means bunking at his vile half-sister Nan’s house—until one visit leads to a chance encounter with a young, gorgeous house maid who awakens him with her off-key but spirited imitation of a country music star…

Reese Ellis finally has her freedom. After escaping a lifetime of abuse from her parents and classmates for an undiagnosed learning disorder, she seizes the opportunity to be a house maid to some of the richest families in Rosemary Beach. But her job is in jeopardy when she causes an accident at the home of her most important client, Nan Dillon. When a hot, half-naked stranger with a cowboy’s swagger comes to her rescue, she’s intrigued—then afraid once he shows his own interest. Reese has never met a trustworthy man in her life. Will Mase be any different?

About the Author:

Abbi Glines is a #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Rosemary Beach, Sea Breeze, Vincent Boys, and Existence series.

She believes in ghosts and has a habit of asking people if their house is haunted before she goes in it. She drinks afternoon tea because she wants to be British but alas she was born in Alabama. When asked how many books she has written she has to stop and count on her fingers. When she’s not locked away writing, she is reading, shopping (major shoe and purse addiction), sneaking off to the movies alone, and listening to the drama in her teenagers lives while making mental notes on the good stuff to use later. Don’t judge.

You can connect with Abbi online in several different ways. She uses social media to procrastinate.

Amazon ** Barnes and Noble **iBooks ** Kobo

 


   FALL WITH ME Synopsis: Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice. Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already. But Reece isn't convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn't believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.

 

FALL WITH ME Excerpt:

There was a county cruiser parked next to my car and there was a really freaking hot cop propped against the passenger side, long legs crossed at the ankles and arms folded across a yummy chest.

Reece was waiting.

I wasn't really thinking about my list of priorities as I stared at him in the dimly lit parking lot. The muggy night air settled over me as he unfolded his legs and pushed off the cruiser. My gaze roamed over him. I was really just thinking about how the polyester material of his work pants moved along his thighs.

God, he walked with the kind of lethal grace that should be illegal.

Nick leaned in and whispered in my ear, “And right there is the main reason why I wouldn't get with you.”

I tripped over my feet.

“Hey man.” Nick clapped Reece on the shoulder as he strolled past him. “Have a good night. See you Wednesday, Roxy.”

“Bye-bye.” I didn't take my eyes off Reece. What was he doing here, at two thirty in the morning? It wasn't the first time I’d stepped out of the bar late at night and found Reece waiting. Back before “the night thou shalt not repeat,” he used to do it every once in a while, when he was working the night shift and was taking lunch.

But it was something I hadn't expected him to do again.

The sound of Nick’s motorcycle rumbling to life echoed throughout the otherwise silent parking lot. I needed to say something, because we were standing there, a few feet between us, staring at one another. “Hi.”

Well, that was spectacular.

One side of his lips kicked up as his gaze dipped. “What . . . ?” He laughed, and there was a flutter deep in my belly, like a nest of butterflies had suddenly taken flight.

“What does your shirt say?”

I glanced down, trying to stop the smile tugging at my lips. “It says ‘Ladies’ Man.’ What’s wrong with that?”

Long, thick lashes lifted and then he laughed again, that nice and light laugh that wrapped around me. “You are . . . you’re something else, Roxy.”

Shifting my weight from one foot to the next, I bit down on my lip. “I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a run-in-the-other-direction kind of thing.”

He took one step closer, his arms loose at his sides—his right arm brushing against the handle of his duty gun. The star on his chest seemed shinier than possible, and was eye level with me. “It’s . . . yeah, it’s a good thing.”
