Synopsis:

Marcos Rivera is a fighter, but not famous. He’s a gang member, but tired of it. He loves cars, but he’s forced to strip them for a living. His past is haunted and his cousin Chuito, a UFC world champion, is the only one who understands. Seeing his cousin makes things worse more often than not, but that’s not an issue most of the time because Marcos lives in Miami and Chuito trains in the small town of Garnet.

Then his life accidentally collides with the last woman in the world he should consider dating and she just happens to be smack dab in the middle of the backwoods town he doesn’t want to be in.

Katie Foster is a high school history teacher. Smart, strong, resilient. She has an annoying ex-husband who doesn’t know it’s over and a lifetime of inadequacy issues that has her convinced she’s going to die alone. That is until a handsome, tattooed gangster runs into her on New Years and forces her to question everything she’s ever known.

What happens when Katie Foster, a high school teacher who has always played it safe, crosses paths with Marcos Rivera, a man who doesn’t know how to do anything but live hard?

 

 

Body Games by Jessica Clare

Synopsis:

Annabelle Tucker is still reeling from last season’s Endurance Island, when the man she loved played her for a fool. When producers ask her back for a new season it’s the last thing she’s interested in…until she hears her ex, the gorgeous but duplicitous Kip, will be there. Revenge and a grand prize? Yes, please!

But someone’s there to throw a kink into her plans. Someone tall and cut, and with the sexiest gray eyes. Jendan Abercrombie’s on an opposing team, but it doesn’t mean that Annabelle can’t lust after him, right? She’ll just have to save all that lusting for post-show, when she’s free to follow where her loins lead.

When a tribal twist puts them both on the same team – naked – will Annabelle be able to resist his very apparent charms? Or will she have to vote Jendan out to save her game?

My Review~

Body Games is such a fun, invigorating, exciting and semi steamy read. It makes you feel like you are witnessing first hand all of the awesome reality shows that are on tv now-a-days in one show but with a twist. There are contestants from other reality shows who have little to no experience about roughing it on an island and the twist is that they have to play the game.....naked. <-----NAKED! *Ummm, can a girl get some banana leaves or something to cover up the taco flaps?*

Annabelle really plays the game by the rules she has set for herself before filming started. She is a player who is out for revenge; to get rid of the one person who humiliated her, wronged her, broke her heart and made her look like a fool on last season of Endurance Island.


Kip is a douche. Not just your typical douche. Oh no, that's too nice to just label him as that. He is the epitome of all douchebags out there who thinks that he, in my way of thinking is a King therefore he doesn't have to do anything like, boil water, make a fire, hunt for food and so forth. Well, he is a King alright. King of Douchebaggery from Shitlandia.

Jendan is such a great guy, seriously he is. He plays the game the best that he can. He basically throws a challenge to help Annabelle due to a childish act that King of Douchebaggery did prior to the start of the challenge.

You sense the attraction between Annabelle and Jendan almost immediatley. I silently squealed in excitement whenever they were alone, hoping that something would go down. Something along the lines of sexual satisfaction but we just get teased with a touch here and a touch there. 

Some characters are loveable, a few are likeable and one is down right annoyingly dislikeable <----is that a word? Shrugs shoulders. It is now if it wasn't before.

 This is my first time reading anything by Jessica Clare and let me tell you, it won't be my last.

Take by Ella Frank



I could write a long review on how much I absolutely love Take but I'm not. I'm keeping this short and pointing out key factors.

•Take picks up where Try left off.

•Tate and Logan's relationship is evolving and going to the next level.

•They both go thru emotional journeys and they are there to support each other thru it.

•Their sexual chemistry is EXPLOSIVE!!!

•!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

•Tate and Logan show a lot of vulnerability. It's very endearing.

•Take leaves off with an OH SNAP moment and leaves you wanting more.

•Remember the cover of the book. There's a scene.....

As always, Ella Frank's writing is superb. She definitley knows how to draw a reader in and she definitely knows how to tell a story.

* My absolute favorite line * "This is the only way I like cream with my coffee."

~Cover Reveal~ Outlier Book 1: Rebellion by Daryl Banner

Blurb:

“Those in power will do whatever they can to get away with everything they can.”

Every citizen in Atlas, the last city on earth, is born with a unique, special ability, and no one sleeps past the age of two.

Except for Wick Lesser who, at seventeen, still sleeps. Hiding this rare ability from the world, his father, who can calculate futures, trains him in self-defense and combat while his healing-gifted mother works an unglamorous job in the muds and keeps his secret safe with the help of Wick’s older brothers. The Lesser family of the ninth ward slums manage to keep afloat, suffering under the corrupt, greed-driven Kingship of the Lifted City.

But not for long.

In the first installment of the Outlier series, Wick’s unassuming slumborn life soon explodes into a full-speed adventure of danger, betrayal, and self-discovery when he secretly joins an underground rebel movement working to take down the oppressive ruling power. But the task is far from easy, and there are more adversaries than Wick can count. Not to mention the complication of an intense, unplanned attraction ... to someone on the wrong side of the rebellion.

Powerful forces are gathering to put an end to the uprising, including the city’s elite crew of law-enforcers called Guardian, of which Wick’s own two eldest brothers are sworn members, and all corners of the slums grow ever restless: a lustful boy with blackened eyes leads a violent street gang, with Wick’s younger brother as his newest recruit. A cunning orphaned girl whose ability is to be unseen, sees everything. And high up in the Lifted City, a privileged and wealthy boy yearns for an exciting new life in the slums.

The world is at a precipice of great change. No one is safe. The rebellion has begun.

*** Contains adult themes, M/F and M/M sexuality, and violence.***

Ryker by Joanne Schwehm

Sex, drums, and denial; three things that Ryker Jeffries excels at.

Ryker buries himself in music and insignificant women, all part of his plan to keep the woman who owns his heart free from his tainted past and his darkest secret. But pretending not to want her has never been easy.

Loyalty, honesty, and desire for Ryker; three things that Faith Bishop excels at.

Excited about her future, Faith looks forward to finally living life on her terms. Intelligent and realistic, she knows the women who steal Ryker’s attention are all of the things she will never be. But wanting him has never been a choice.

Will he be able to resist her, or will he finally cave to his desires? Will she be able to handle his past, or will it shatter her?

****

I'm going to be blunt here mmkay? Ryker is a drummer in a band called Raging Urge and he is a MAJOR ass. A major ass who grated on my damn nerves with the games he would play with Faith. One minute he is super nice to her, making her think that he is into her and then.......

BAM!

BOOM!

KAPOWZA!

He treats her like shit. His actions gave me a whiplash that's going to last for days (Thanks Joanne). Why does he treat her like that? Because he feels like he is not good enough for her. That his past will scare her and he will lose her so he does his best to push her away. Better to stay friends than anything else.*smacks forehead* Oh Ryker. 

He has a past, a deep hurtful and painful past, that he doesn't let anyone know about until one day he finally opens up to the one person who has always been there no matter how horribly he has treated this person. *I was like FINALLY!!! He is going to talk about it but hot damn was it brutal and down right heart wrenching*

The one relationship that I really enjoyed most of all is of Faith and Max. Best friends since childhood. Once you find out how they meet you will laugh and love them even more. Heck, if Ryker wasn't in the picture I would root for them to get together but lucky for us Ryker moved into their town and joined RU.

For me personally I felt like things moved a little to fast with the story in certain areas but overall I really enjoyed it.

If you love a tortured musician who can be the douchebag of your dreams then Ryker is your man. He bangs the drums like no other and if you were ever at a Raging Urge concert and you make eye contact with Ryker, your panties will be in trouble. Trouble as in they will combust right there and then. You will want to have that one night where he bangs you like he bangs his drums.

The Promise by Kristen Ashley

Amanda's Review~



We met Benny and Frankie in the story At Peace. Just from their little introduction, I reduced that Benny is a man whore that works at the family owned pizza restaurant and Frankie is in love with Benny and his family lays blame on her for the role of their eldest sons death. After I met Benny and Frankie in The Promise, I reduced that Benny may have been around the block or two but has always been in love with Frankie and that Frankie finally got what she deserves.

When a connection is first made, it's set for life. No matter what it is. And just like life, there are obstacles that can get in the way to that connection but it's never broken. The connection, for me, was not only Benny and Frankie's relationship but of both of their families. This is what I absolutely love about KA's writing. Yes, she focuses on the H and h's story but she also focuses on the importance of family. Whether the family is good or bad they play a role in the lives of others. We learn from family and try not to repeat past mistakes.

I found The Promise on the tame side compared to the others in the series. It was easy. It was smooth. Not angsty. Just blunt. Benny and Frankie said what they had to say, did what they had to do and it was done. Their relationship wasn't smooth sailing but when they get it right, you can see them riding into the sunset. While I enjoyed their story, another family completely stole my heart and that is Joe and Violet Callahan along with their daughters. *I secretly hope, pray, cross my fingers that later later on, we get Kate and Keira's stories*

Now. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how KA can weave characters from previous books into new stories. As I read this, I saw one name and I smiled. I saw another name and my eyes rounded. THEN the mother of ALL names showed up and I kicked my legs on the mattress(was on my bed at the time) and shouted YES! YES! YES! And I'm still smiling while I'm typing this. GAH! It was a treat to read about this character.

As with KA's stories, I'm never disappointed. I love how she can create characters that I fall in love, talk about like they're real and pimp out her books like there's no tomorrow. Fantastic job Kit!

Crystal's review~

Benny and Frankie. Frankie and Benny. I just love these two characters! They might be my 2nd favorite couple in this series, the 1st belonging to Joe and Violet from At Peace.

Frankie and Benny's story is not explosive like the others in the Burg series but it will still grab you, suck you in and consume you. Once you are done reading The Promise, you will be smiling so big and your heart will be bursting with happiness and love for these two.  

As hard as Frankie tries to stay clear of Benny because of the history between them, she feels something for him. Something more than just friends. Something more than Benny almost being her brother-in-law. Her feelings for him scares her and she has a hard time trying to get past the history but he makes his way inside her heart slowly but not slowly because Benny, as we all know, is an Italian dude. Italian dudes are stubborn. Italian dudes have their own mind sets: They see something they want, they go for it, no matter what. Italian dudes, especially a KA Italian dude, is super loyal and faithful. And with Benny being an Italian KA dude, he will make you swoon like a high school teeanage girl when her crush walks by her in the hallway.

Benny's parents are such a wonderful and hilarious delight. I am so glad we get a chance to read about them and that they are a part of this amazing and beautiful story.

As my sister stated up above, you will get a fantastic treat from other KA characters. And yes, I was pumping my fist in the air and kicking my legs while I was laying down in bed reading when a certain hottie came into the picture. This is just one other reason why I am in love with KA's writing. The way she connects characters from one series to the next is just brilliant! BRILLIANT I TELL YA! Nobody does that can do that better than her.

Oh the epilogue. Always one of the b
est parts of her books. And, I can't wait until I have my own calendar to fill in one day.
