Undercover - T.A. McKay

Michaela - I received an arc in return for a honest and unbiased review

Undercover

Drake Donovan is one of the good guys. He spends his life helping people who need it. Being a police officer is all he’s ever wanted to be, and there is nothing else that could ever compare.

After months of work he finally has a way in to the underground world he's been trying to close down. A trail of dead prostitutes has led him to a chat room and a man called Dreamfixer, but when a late night meeting goes wrong his life changes forever.

Ryden Garrick has the life that nightmares are made of. Growing up with a father like his taught him everything he needed to know to run his area in one of Britain’s largest crime organisations.
Guns, drugs, money laundering, and the area that Ryden excels in, prostitution. Running one of the largest male prostitution rings, one where anything is acceptable, even murder, is where he dedicates most of his time.

When Drake discovered the connection with the young dead bodies, all linked with a letter tattooed on their chest, he knew he had to do something. Now standing in front of the elusive Dreamfixer, he knows that life will never be the same.

When gathering evidence becomes the last thing he's thinking about he knows that he will have to make a decision. Follow his feelings or stay strong, doing what he was here to do.
Now he has to decide between the job he loves and the man who could change everything.

Life for Drake was easy before he went Undercover.

Michaela's Review

This review isn't going to give this the credit it deserves but im going to do my best. Let me start by saying T.A Mckay is one of my top authors who's work I one click without even reading her blurb. I love everything about her work from her writing style and story lines to the character build its all amazing. I've followed her work from the very beginning and have always been a huge fan. Her work never fails to amaze me and gets better and better with every book written. Now onto under cover. I fell in love with Drake from the very beginning. He seemed such a caring soul from the start but Ryden let's be honest I hated him to begin with. He was the sort of person you would under no circumstances be associated with. As the story progressed I found I loved Ryden just as much as Drake. I don't believe in writing spoiler reviews but if your new to T.A Mckay this is the one to read. If your looking for an amazing m/my book this is it! Even if your randomly looking for a book then this is it! You won't be disappointed.

Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

Punk 57

From New York Times Bestselling Author, Penelope Douglas, comes the latest New Adult romance...

"We were perfect together. Until we met."

Misha

I can’t help but smile at the lyrics in her letter. She misses me.

In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed.

It didn’t take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever…

And that was the start. For the next seven years, it was us.

Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Sometimes there’s one a week or three in a day, but I need them. She’s the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

We only had three rules. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. We had a good thing going. Why ruin it?

Until I run across a photo of a girl online. Name’s Ryen, loves Gallo’s pizza, and worships her iPhone. What are the chances?

F*ck it. I need to meet her.

I just don’t expect to hate what I find.

Ryen

He hasn’t written in three months. Something’s wrong. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch.

Without him around, I’m going crazy. I need to know someone is listening. It’s my own fault. I should’ve gotten his phone number or picture or something.

He could be gone forever.

Or right under my nose, and I wouldn’t even know it.

Michaela's Review

I loved this it's like a breath of fresh air! It's so different to anything I've read in such a long time. Punk 57 is written so well and I was drawn in and hooked. We can all relate to One of the characters throughout whether it be Manny, Misha or Ryen. High school is cruel and this shows the nastiness but also the beauty that truly lies inside of each and every one of us. Whether we believe it or not. Love yourself be yourself.

Find Me Alastar - T.L. Swan

Michaela - *~* I received a copy in return for a honest and unbiased review *~*

Find Me Alastar


He outbid me, that was our initial interaction.

He was cocky, my first impression.

Then he stole my heart, I don't even think he noticed.

Alastar O'Shea was full of sexual energy, the things he would say, the addictive things he would do.

He knew how to make me come undone.

He knew how to love me.

He was the best experience of my sheltered life.

But do you ever really know who someone is?

What if the story I know isn’t the story at all?

I thought I knew him.

I was wrong.

Forbidden Love - Kacey Hamford

~* EXCERPT REVEAL*~


Title: Forbidden Love
Series: South Coast Brothers MC #4
Author: Kacey Hamford
Cover Designer: SP Cover Design
Release Date: November 30th


Goodreads:

Pre-order for just 99c!


Synopsis:
When Ashlyn escaped the hell she was dragged into, she thought her life was over, damaged. Then came along the one man she couldn’t have. Never mind that he was the only person she had ever felt such a connection to, the only man she felt that she could trust. So what did she do? She denied those feelings, fought them. Because what use is a Forbidden Love to a broken girl?
Everything that had happened in Drake’s life had led to that exact moment and things were finally on track, being a prospect for the club that saved him made him more thankful than he could ever explain. The brothers, his family gave him the chance that no one else would. And as soon as he saw her he was willing to throw that all away. So decisions had to be made… His loyalty to his family or his love for the girl who he would give his life to protect. Even though it was Forbidden, Drake had never felt anything more real…


Excerpts:

Excerpt 1
 “Do we really have to leave?” Ashlyn asked as she ran her hands through her blonde, wavy hair. I was leant against the communal bathroom door watching her as she got ready for the party. She was wearing a white summer dress that hit her knees, strappy sandals and a white short cardigan that covered up her scars on the top of her back. Those ones weren’t very noticeable, you wouldn’t see them unless you knew about them.
 “Yes, Prez’s orders,” she looked down at her hands. “What is it?” I stalked into the room until I was pressed against her back and looking at her through the bathroom mirror.
 “We’ve been safe here, no drama and no danger. I just feel like that’s going to change once we leave.” Her eyes connected with mine and I saw unshed tears forming.
 “I’m not going to lie to you, it might. But we’ve out stayed our welcome.” She took a deep breath and plastered on a fake smile.

Excerpt 2
I was now pacing the bar area, worrying my bottom lip between my teeth and clenching and unclenching my hands. That woman Belinda said a gift would arrive in two hours and it was now almost eleven in the morning. I had a bad feeling and didn’t know what I should do.
My head snapped up when the Prez left his office and headed for the main doors, Rooster, Wiz, Henry and Drake all followed him and it took me a moment to get my feet moving again, I hurried after them only to be stopped by Denise.
 “No, you can’t go out there.” I was stunned by what she was telling me and it took a moment to register.
 “I need to see what it is.” I went to step past her and she blocked my path. “Denise.”
 “I’m sorry, no.” I went to dodge her again when large hands clapped around my waist and lifted me off my feet. I looked over my shoulder to see that Drum had picked me up and was carrying me into the bar. He placed me on the sofa and Denise sat beside me.
 “Please just wait for Drake to come back in, ok?” I nodded, not taking my eyes off the door.
 “It’s another woman, isn’t it?” I asked, taking my eyes off the door to look at Denise and the answer was clear as day on her face. Her face full of make-up couldn’t hide it from me.



About the Author:
Kacey Hamford is a pen name for me (Kelly). I am in my thirties and started this journey in 2014, I love to read romance books about rockstars, so thought I would have a go at writing one myself. I really enjoyed it and got a boost of confidence once my books started selling.
I have gone on to write a young adult series, set in a college. The series is still on going.
I also have an MC series, it was something different for me to write and I enjoyed it so much, especially when I got readers telling me they would love to read books about the sub characters.
I work full time as a dog groomer, I love to read and my friends and family are very important to me. They are all so supportive of my writing career and encourage me to carry on.

Michaela's Review


First off. I love discovering new authors and Elaine May is new to me and to be honest I'm a little unsure as to what I think upon finishing this book. I really struggled in the beginning and found that Even though this was written in 3rd party, the word Isla was used far too much for my liking I counted 10 times in just one page but the story line was intriguing and Had caught my interest so I pushed myself to carry on. I actually found I loved the story line it was gripping and intense. I found the writing style to be a little stiff and didn't seem to flow easily and I'm not a big fan of 3rd party writing. I do have to say I had a hard time connecting with Isla and I found some of her actions a little hard to understand. Example if you are held hostage and raped/sexual assaulted for 3 years, you are not going to sleep with someone after 2 weeks. Soul mate or not. I'm looking forward to reading the next instalment of this series and will follow the author throughout her progression as this story line was amazing and has a lot of potential.

All The Way (Natexus, #2) - Victoria James

Rachel - I will never forget watching Victoria James do the worm on a dance floor. NEVER! It was hilarious!

Michaela - *~* Arc received in return for an honest and unbiased review *~*

All The Way - 


Six minutes after he'd vowed to love me forever and I was the happiest I'd ever been. He wasn't meant to be with me at the start of my next adventure, but the other half of my soul—the man I'd been away from for far too long—had slammed back into my life with unashamed force all over again. With one look in his eyes, I was lost to all his promises, and I couldn't find a single reason for us to spend another second apart.

Happiness became a dangerous addiction—one Alex Law was able to wrap me in with an ease no one else had ever done before. Yet no matter how high the clouds we rode upon climbed, the echoes of our pasts never seemed to be too far away.

Not all happily ever afters go the same way and ours was about to bring out sides of both of us that we never knew existed. All I could do was hold my breath and hope that whatever storms we passed through, they wouldn't be strong enough to tear us apart for a second time.

Our eternity started with a kiss. Now it was up to me to prove that forever really could last a lifetime with nobody else but him.

That beautiful, breathtaking first love of mine.

Boss Man - Vi Keeland


THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 

From New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland, comes a sexy new standalone novel.

The first time I met Chase Parker, I didn't exactly make a good impression.

I was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant, leaving a message for my best friend to save me from my awful date.

He overheard and told me I was a bitch, then proceeded to offer me some dating advice.

So I told him to mind his own damn business―his own tall, gorgeous, full-of-himself damn business―and went back to my miserable date.

When he walked by my table, he smirked, and I watched his arrogant, sexy ass walk back to his date.

I couldn't help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room. Of course, he caught me on more than one occasion, and winked.

When the gorgeous stranger and his equally hot date suddenly appeared at our table, I thought he was going to rat me out.

But instead, he pretended we knew each other and joined us―telling elaborate, embarrassing stories about our fake childhood.

My date suddenly went from boring to bizarrely exciting.

When it was over and we parted ways, I thought about him more than I would ever admit, even though I knew I'd never see him again.

I mean, what were the chances I'd run into him again in a city with eight million people?Then again...

What were the chances a month later he'd wind up being my new sexy boss?

Vi Keeland is new to me. I really really enjoyed this book. I've already downloaded a few more books she's written and co-written.

This book was both funny and sexy. It didnt allow the sex to dominate, which some books can do. 

I loved both the main characters, which supprises me. I'm not normally a fan of female protagonists. So well done Vi just for that!

Well worth a read.

69 Bottles #1, #2 and #3 - Zoey Derrick

I don't even know how I came about having this book on my kindle. I dont remember buying it so I must have had a 'I want something different' book splurge.

Claiming Addison



"Claiming Addison is a knock your socks off, steamy and erotic, fun and exciting romance that will have you pumped up from the very first chapter." - Shayna, Shayna Renee's Spicy Reads

For Addison Beltrand, PR rep for Bold International, Inc. climbing the corporate ladder is all that matters in life. Her hard work is finally rewarded with the promotion she’s worked her ass off to earn—but the gig comes at a price. She leaves in two days for a twelve-week tour with America’s hottest alternative rock band, 69 Bottles.

Talon Carver, lead singer of 69 Bottles, has no problem with women--as long as they’re gone by morning. When Addison shakes up his world, it’s a huge problem—compounded by the fact that Addison’s not the only one he wants.

Kyle Black, manager of 69 Bottles, has a secret. He and Addison are closer than she thinks, but telling her could keep her away. When Talon sets his sights on Addison, Kyle uses his secret to push her into Talon’s arms, only to discover she isn’t the only one he needs.

Two men. One dilemma. 

Talon is wild, reckless and loves control.

Kyle is calm, collected and loves passion.

The perfect balance…or Addison’s ultimate undoing? 

Talon and Kyle push their boundaries and Addison’s, but can they throw their reservations to the wind and claim her together?

Two men. One woman. A rock band. A tour bus. One Wild Ride…


Craving Talon



Rock hard once again with Zoey Derrick’s sizzling hot rock & roll series!


The story picks up as 69 Bottles continues their tour, riding a surge of success thanks to an impromptu duet between Talon and Addison. 

It’s a crazy turn of life for Addison Beltrand, who’s always lived to work and worked to live. Now, everything is shifted upside down—and that’s not a bad thing. Stepping on the 69 Bottles tour bus has banished the heartache of her past, and feels like a rocking new beginning. 

Talon Carver and Kyle Black couldn’t agree more. The band’s lead singer and manager are falling hard for the beautiful rock chick, and will do anything to keep her in their bed—and between their bodies—forever.

The trio’s blissful bubble is popped by a danger nobody has anticipated. The band’s security team, always watchful for fan attacks on the members, isn’t prepared for what happens to Addison during this leg of the tour. Will Kyle and Talon be able to help save Addison? Or will her fear force her to pack her bags and return to LA?

Everything hinges on her decision…

Two men. One woman. A rock band. A tour bus. One Wild Ride… 

Redeeming Kyle


Falling in love was the easy part…

For Talon Carver, the commanding and charismatic lead singer of the rock band 69 Bottles, life has never been better—or worse. His heart’s at a full 11 for Addison Beltrand, his feisty PR rep. But admitting it was a much different tune. The dilemma’s even more complicated when adding his other lover to the mix: Kyle Black, the band’s handsome, sweet and sexy manager.

Why ruin a good thing, right? Things are pretty damn perfect for the trio—in and out of bed. But just when they find their best rhythm with each other, a rocky night in Minneapolis forces all three to reexamine their feelings—and take their relationship to new levels.

But can love be enough?

The band’s soaring popularity, along with the pressures of maintaining an unconventional relationship on a high-profile rock tour, start to take their toll. When Addison starts to fall apart, Talon and Kyle must come to terms with how important she is to them both.

Can Addison find the strength to be their glue once more?

What happens when the world goes on…but yours suddenly stops?

When everything looks like it’s going to fall apart? Is love enough to bring Talon, Kyle, and Addison back to each other’s arms…and with it, the magic that true redemption can bring?

Rachel's Review

Wow, ok where to start. These books are certainly unique. The first book sucked me in, the second gave me the feels and the third gave me my HEA.

So the good - the sex was written brilliantly. Very visual. I've read m/f/m books before but never m/m/f or m/m. I've wanted to read some m/m for a while. I loved Addison and Talon and I loved how the relationship seemed to work between all three main characters.

The 'bad'- well not bad as such, if it was bad i wouldn't have finished all 3 and going on to read more in the series. I didn't like the ending. I thought it was too predictable. I also didn't like Kyle, but I'm guessing I wasn't supposed to until he'd redeemed himself.

All in all a good series. A random purchase.

Fancy a little spice, plenty of heat, and something saucy in your stocking this year?

Get your jolly on this Christmas and let Santa deliver one of The Red Hot Christmas series of standalone erotic romance novellas to your e-Reader. Full of festive frolics that will add some cheer to your holiday!

A Red Hot Christmas - Paris.
Two couples, Lulu and Luc Le Grand and their firm friends, Coco Barrella and Hunter Donovan, head to Paris for a romantic getaway at The Domville Hotel. Looking forward to good company, great food, and some steamy seasonal shenanigans away from the pressures of work, the last thing they expect is to be stranded there on Christmas Eve.

I absolutely love all CJ Fallowfield's work this lady is on talented author! I'm yet to find any that's left me disappointed. And This short novella was everything I expected from her and more it's just made my Christmas a hell of a lot hotter and sexier. This brings back some much lived characters from All That Glisters and The Temptress. If your looking for a short, steamy Christmas read then this must be it. Loved it!

Rachel's Review


I loved this little book! I now have to go and read The Temptress and All that Glisters again though. I love Luc and Hunter! This is the perfect little book for CJ fans. PS Charlotte writes good sex! She's not overtly pornographic and definitely keeps it classy but hot. Nice story line and classic Charlotte goodness. Well worth reading!

Fault (Define Book 3) - Nicola Hudson

Michaela -*~* I received an arc in return of a honest and unbiased review *~*

Fault


Nobody’s perfect.
We all have our faults.

GRACE DAWSON is desperate. Her father is dead and her mum is in prison for killing the man who attacked her. She is about to turn eighteen and homeless. Her options are limited. Life is bleak.

NOAH CARTER is twenty-four, a writer, and burdened by his family responsibilities. Forced to live in the same small town he grew up in, he knows it would be wrong to wish for a different life.

When Noah offers Grace a place to stay, it is an act of generosity that she has little choice but to accept. As they spend time together, their feelings grow beyond friendship and they become increasingly important parts of each other’s lives. But it’s not just their lives they have to think about and the challenges they face threaten to overwhelm their relationship. Both make mistakes but can they overcome their own faults to forgive each other’s?

FAULT is a story about love, loss, family and forgiveness. It’s a story about life.

Fault is the third novel in Nicola Hudson’s Define series but can be read as a standalone from Curve and Heart, although it does contain spoilers if read out of sequence

Michaela's Review


I've been eagerly awaiting fault after devouring heart and curve by Nicola and I absolutely loved them both. I had high expectations for this and boy did she deliver! I had so many emotions in reading this and stayed up late just so I could finish it. At times If I could of climbed In and slapped Noah I would, I wanted to bang graces and Noah's heads together at one point too! And then there was the heartbreak which was followed by tears. The words literally jumped out the pages at me. This is an beautifully written, emotional read and an epic finally to the series! Well done Nicola!
