Beta - Jasinda Wilder

I'd been waiting (not so patiently) for Beta to come out. This book follows on from Alpha, please take the time to read my review here, one of the best books I've ever read. It was completely different to anything I'd read so far and I loved it. I spread the Alpha love far and wide. Any chance I got I would book push and wax lyrical about it. In fact it was the first ever book I reviewed on my blog. I think I was the book that pushed my colleagues over the edge and they convinced me to spend any spare time I got writing reviews and tweeting!

Now? Beta? SO. MUCH. MORE. AWESOME!!!!!! 

Beta - Jasinda Wilder


Synopsis

Roth and I are on an open-ended tour of the world. Roth being Roth, this means missionary in Morocco, reverse cowgirl in Calcutta, bent over the bow of a houseboat in Hanoi, slow and sleepy on St. John. Anywhere and everywhere, in every conceivable position, and some I didn't know were possible.

Life was pretty incredible.

Until I woke up in his chateau in France, alone. On the bed next to me was a note. There were only four words:

He belongs to me.

Rachel's Review

I've thought carefully about my review. I didn't want to write this half-cocked and off the cuff, just because I was excited to get all my feelings out. So.....yes Mr Ignored has heard about my feelings about this book and yes my colleagues are now ignoring me. But I only started speaking to people after this sign had been up on my door...........
.............had a calm down, then I couldn't shut up about it. 

I must take my hat off to Jasinda Wilder for being able to not only best Alpha but blow it out the water. 

First off, I love the passion between the two characters. I always have. Not only the passion but the emotion. I'm there with both of them, rooting for them and hoping they'll be able to come through, together. 

Second, I love how this surpassed my expectations of what the book was going to be like. FAR SURPASSED. 

Thirdly, the storyline, no spoilers, was superb! I was left stunned, shocked, astounded and many many other emotions as well.

To anyone just about to read this book, find a cave or somewhere no one will find you, settle in, get comfy and do not move until you have finished! I promise you will not be disappointed! 

Rachel's Rating.

Only one other book has ever earn't my utter devotion and awarded 6 stars, but today I making it two.

For pure brilliance and for rocking my world 6 STARS ******

TouchStone For Play, TouchStone For Giving and TouchStone for ever (The Story of Us Trilogy) - Sydney Jamesson

Apologies for my lack of reviews recently. Due to work commitments, technology failures and my holiday, this is the first time I've been able to sit down and review.

So first off I'm going to go with a beauty of a trilogy. Sent to me by Social Butterfly PR (@jennw23 for all you twitter folks)

TouchStone for play


Twenty seven year old English teacher Elizabeth Parker is waiting to be found. Like the secrets of her past, her beauty is hidden, concealed behind modest clothes and a gentle nature.

Into her secluded world enter two powerful men.

Handsome playboy, Ayden Stone is flawless and as skilled in the bedroom as he is in the boardroom. He has a taste for rare and beautiful things, and he wants to taste her: he’ll do anything to make it happen. Uninitiated in the art of seduction, Beth embarks upon a voyage of sexual awakening, allowing Ayden to steer her towards deep and dangerous waters, unaware of their fateful connection.
 
From a distance, former boxer Dan Rizler, bides his time but never loses sight of the object of his desire: precious Miss Parker. His tormented soul reaches out to her with merciless hands: he must have her. 
 
This is a modern fairy tale full of romantic moments, music and monstrous encounters. Elizabeth Parker is about to be found but will she be bound by her destiny or by her demon …

TouchStone for giving


Elizabeth Parker has been found … 

Like a falling star she has come down to earth, landing painfully on the debris of a broken dream. What she thought of as love now seems no more than a wish left unfulfilled. Her future lies in the hands of two powerfully possessive men; each desiring her to the point of insanity. 

Flawless media mogul Ayden Stone oversees her voyage of sexual awakening, introducing her to new experiences and a secret world behind locked doors, away from prying eyes. But … is he Prince Charming or merely the great pretender?
  
With a fighter’s instinct, Dan Rizler continues to box clever; taking his time, waiting for the right moment to strike. He will have his Princess one way or another. 

Into this twisted triangle enters Elise Richards; a woman with a past and a passion for revenge: hell hath no fury like Miss. Richards. 
  
This is a modern fairy tale full of romance, secrets and suspense. Elizabeth Parker is about to be caught, held fast by the hand of Fate; but will she be caught out or caught up in an affair of the heart, body and soul? 

When nothing else matters … you have to do or die. 

TouchStone for ever



WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE TO SAVE THE ONE YOU LOVE...


Ayden Stone and Elizabeth Parker are soul mates. They have played at love, succumbed to the magnetic pull of destiny and forgiven themselves and each other for misadventures in life and love.

Now they must look to the future and forever, bearing the scars of battles they have fought and won, together. To keep a promise one of these fateful lovers must make an agonising choice and dedicate themselves to an impossible task; to embark upon an adventure filled with magical moments and unforgivable acts of personal sacrifice.
But ... with self-sacrifice comes betrayal.

TouchStone for ever is the culmination of an epic love story written in the stars, involving a contemporary princess and her charming Prince; experience blazing passion, the anguish of a breaking heart and every emotion in between as Beth Parker shares her thoughts and feelings about love, life and her desperate wish for her happy ever after.

Sleeping Beauty has been awoken from a great sleep but, sadly, not all fairy-tales have a happy ending … not even when you belong together, for ever and you’re prepared to give …
EVERYTHING !

 Rachel's Review

I was so worried when I first started reading this that I would hate it. Not because I hadn't chosen it but because as I was reading it I was thinking 'whoa whoa whoa! Not so quick!' I was struggling by half way through the first book because I felt rushed. BUT...... after that I settled in to it and boy did I love it. I then went one to read the second two books in quick succession. I still don't like one of the characters but that's my own personal opinion and it doesn't detract from the fact that these books are eloquently written and overall I loved them and I would definitely re-read them in the future. 

Mini, teeny-tiny spoiler alert - I cried. A LOT. Like a baby. Not many books make me bawl my eyes out but these books draw you in, keep you there and then spit you out as a complete emotional wreck.
