The highest stakes...

My father gambles every night, falling deeper and deeper into debt. When he hits the bottom, he places a new bet: his daughter. I'm his entry bet to the biggest underground poker game.

The players are politicians and mafia men, every kind of danger around a velvet-covered table. But it's only one man who makes me shake.

The man I once thought I loved.

The man who betrayed me.

His eyes meet mine with dark promise. And when he puts down his money, I know I'm going to lose more than my body. I'm going to lose everything.

THE KING is a spin-off novel of the USA Today bestselling Endgame series about Damon Scott.

Running Hot by J.L. Sheppard - Review

***3.5 Stars***

This story was good in its own way, but not as good as the first book in my opinion. There was a lot of miscommunication between the two main characters and the maturity level was juvenile (my opinion only).

Thomas “Cuss” Layne and Tiffany Hamilton have been wanting each other for seven years. Thomas was biding his time and Tiffany truly believed that Thomas only wanted to be friends. There was a lot of going back and forth between the two and thank God when they finally hook up! There was so much drama and miscommunication I almost felt bad for the two. How can two lovers finally try and get their HEA when the odds are against them?

Overall, this wasn’t a bad read and I do look forward to reading more from this author.

Rough and Ready by Hayley Faiman - Review

***4 Stars!***

This was really a good read and just the way an MC book should be! It was my first read from this author and she did not disappoint!

Cleo and Paxton “Torch” Hill were married young before Torch went into the service. When Torch returns, he is a changed man with demons that are too much to endure. Torch hurts Cleo in the worst possible way and ends up leaving her as if she never existed.

Fast forward to 11 years later, Cleo is living her life, but not really. She is a shell of a woman and still heartbroken. She has made two great friends Lisandro and Theo who will do anything for her and I loved the friendship that these three had. Torch is a member of the Notorious Devils MC and when trouble comes knocking at their door, he realizes that Cleo may be in danger and decides to heal old wounds and protect Cleo at the same time. Torch realizes that Cleo is not the gullible teenager she was back then and also realizes that he left a good woman behind instead of dealing with his demons together with Cleo as a couple should.

With trouble knocking and Cleo’s reluctance to give Torch another chance, Torch makes it his mission to make Cleo his once and for all whether she likes it or not. But will Cleo accept the biker life Torch is offering or will she be stuck in the past always thinking that he will leave her again the way he did so many years ago??

This was really good read and I didn’t realize it was the 5^th in the series, but this can be read as a standalone. I’m really looking forward to Genny and Sloane’s story which I know will be just as good this one!

Cody by Jessie Cooke - Review

***3 Stars***

Although I really liked the first installment of the series, this one fell short for me.

Cody was just released from jail for manslaughter only to find out that his teenage love Macy and best friend Jimmy have moved on with each other. Cody still thinks that Macy is the one and tries to go back to where they left off 8 years ago regardless of any consequence. Crazy events take place and Cody and Macy now have a shot at the HEA, but nothing ever comes easy.

While Cody struggles with acclimating to his new life and his need for revenge, he is re-evaluating his relationship with Macy and what he wants out of life. Meanwhile, Macy is keeping a secret that she knows will most likely keep Cody away for good and Harley, an old childhood friend of Cody makes her appearance and Cody is torn between the two females as they both played a significant role during his early years.

Once the secrets are revealed and real love is professed, who will Cody have his HEA with?? I totally did not see the ending coming and maybe it could have been omitted from the story altogether and I’m not sure why the author threw that in there. I’ll give this one 3 stars, but I’m not giving up on the author yet! I loved Dax’s story and I look forward to the next installment of the series!

Wrecked by Jeannine Colette - Review

***4.5 Loved It Stars!***

This was such a great story!!!! Leah was one crazy chick and I loved every aspect of her personality in this book!

Leah has been working at the local bar in town called the Bucking Bronco and she is secretly buying the bar from its current owner and making it her own. Adam is the town narcotics officer and from Leah’s point of view is hell bent on making her life an absolute misery. As teenagers, they were very close as Leah was dating his best friend Brad who secretly had a heroin addiction that he kept from his best friend and girlfriend that ultimately took his life. During this time, Leah and Adam were very close and having a hard time controlling their feelings for each other.

When Brad died, both were devastated and this is where their friendship took a turn for the worse.

As the years pass and Leah is focusing on her future and Adam is focusing on getting the drugs out of his town, both are pushed together by an unforeseeable event and have to come to terms with their past and figure out how to move forward and realize that Brad’s death was not their fault. Will these two be able to accept that the past was out of their hands and reconnect just like when they were teenagers?

This was truly a good story and I look forward to reading more from this author!

 I need you, Ava. 

 I am desperate. For you. For touch. For a kiss.

 For the scrape of your hand down my stomach. For the slide of your lips across my hipbone. The sweep of your thigh against mine in the dulcet, drowning darkness. For the warm huff of your breath on my skin and the wet suck of your mouth around me and the building pressure of need reaching release...I am mad with need. 

 Wild with it. 

 I cannot have you. I have lost you, as I have lost myself.

 And so I go in search. Of myself, and thus the man who might return to you, and take you in his arms.

I loathe each of the thousands of miles between us, but I cannot wish them away, for I hope at the end of my journey I shall find you. Or rather, find myself, and thus…you. Myself, and thus us.

I am taking the long way home, Ava.

*** 

 Christian, 

 I’m losing my mind, and I don’t know how to stop it. I shouldn’t be writing to you, but I am. I’m friendless, loveless, and lifeless. You’re out there somewhere, and still you’re all I really have. I hate my reliance and dependence on you, emotionally and otherwise, and that reliance is something I’m coming to recognize. I hate that I can’t hate you as much as I want to. 

I hate that I still love you so much.

I hate that there’s no clear solution to our conundrum. Even if we could forgive each other, what then?

I hate you, Christian. I really do.

But most of all, I don’t.

It’s complicated.

Complicatedly (still) yours,

Ava

Love Rewritten by J. Saman - Review

***4 Stars!!***

This is my second read by J. Saman and I really like this book! All the characters are great and I liked how even though they were a bunch of 21 year old, they were very mature for their age.

Abby and her twin Aubrey are away at college. Nina is Abby’s best friend and Xander is Aubrey’s best friend. Abby and Xander were really close during freshman year and their friendship abruptly ends for no apparent reason. Xander was really nasty to Abby in the beginning and we get the really reason why as the story goes on. Abby catches the eye of the lacrosse star player Brandon who she starts dating but Brandon is hiding a secret that has severe consequences. While dating Brandon, Xander seems to be jealous but it’s not clear why he is so jealous in the beginning but we get the reasoning and it all makes sense in the end.

The story was well developed and as I mentioned before, the characters were great! Once all the secrets are revealed, will Abby get her happily ever after? And who will be her HEA once she learns the truth about Brandon’s secret and why Xander was so cold to her.

I’m so looking forward to Nina and Aubrey’s story and I’m sure the author will not disappoint!

Torrid by Nikki Sloane - Review

*** 4 Stars!***

This was a great follow up to the first! Actually I truly think this one was better than the first book.

Oksana is the illegitimate daughter of Russian mob boss Sergey. Oksana agrees to infiltrate the Serbian mob by getting close to the boss’ nephew Vasilije. Both have their own agendas to take their respective leaders down and from here the twisted Bonnie and Clyde fairy tale begins.

I really liked Oksana’s character in this book. She is just as dark and twisted as her male counterpart in this book which made the story so much better. Vasilije at times reminded me of a spoiled brat but he was just as ruthless as they come. We also get a cameo appearance from Luka and Addison and honestly this could have been omitted from the story because their appearance really didn’t serve a purpose to the plot in my opinion.

As Oksana and Vasilije get close to accomplishing their goal, will their twisted relationship survive once all the secrets and hidden agendas are exposed? Great read and I look forward to more from this author!

Wicked Revenge by Zoey Derrick - Review

***4.5 Wicked Stars!!**

What a wicked crazy story this was and loved every page of it! This is my first read by Zoey Derrick and I definitely like her writing style.

Lily “Kiwi” Beaumont has loved Logan “Loki” Williams since she was three years old (LOL her words). Lily’s dad was the President of the Roswell charter of the Wicked Angels MC and grew up in the life and doesn’t see her life going in a different direction. Her parents are killed and her brother Tryke takes extreme measures to keep her safe which is a curse and blessing for Kiwi. She loves the MC life and doesn’t know why her brother is trying to keep it away from her. When her brother is taken from her, Loki is her damnation and salvation.

The story fast forwards from here and this is when the ride starts! I loved Kiwi’s character and we need more heroines like her! She was so mature for her age and that was due to her upbringing. Loki was great as well but some of his decisions made me question his greatness LOL. There are twists in this story and you’ll figure them out at about 75% but it was crazy and the author did a good job with the plot.

I’m so looking forward to next book and I’m sure it will be just as good as this one!

Covet by Dani Rene' - Review

***3.5 Stars***

This was a good follow up to the first novella From the Ashes. In this installment, we get the very beginning of Paige “Skyla” Madden’s and Kael Wolfe’s story which is just heartbreaking. After escaping Club Caged, Paige made a life for herself and reconnects with Kael and their journey begins.

Before they can move forward, they have to bury their demons from their past. Secrets are revealed and revenge is planned, but once the past is buried, can Paige and Kael truly move forward towards their happily ever after? This was a good read and I look forward to reading more from this author!

Elusive by L.A. Fiore - Cover Reveal!!

Title: Elusive

Series: Book #1 Shipwrecked Series

Author: L. A. Fiore

Genre: Contemporary Romance 

Release Date: July 21, 2017

Cover Designer: PopKitty

I didn’t set out to be a pirate.

Life for me was about surviving the ugliness that people knew existed but didn’t talk about.

I lived in hell.

Then I saw her.

I knew I couldn’t keep her, but for just a little while I had found heaven.

Eight years later, I can’t get her out of my head.

It is a mistake sailing to her island.

It is a mistake reaching out to her.

She doesn’t recognize me. Or maybe she does.

Closure, it is all I’m after.

Then my past comes back to haunt me.

She’s thrust into my ruthless world. An angel.

A romantic who has a journal that leads to a shipwreck and a lost treasure.

She’s wants to find the ending to a love story that is over two hundred years in the making.

I want to help her find it.

I didn’t set out to be a pirate.

I didn’t set out to fall in love with an angel.

I did both anyway.

L.A. Fiore is the author of several books including Beautifully Damaged, Collecting the Pieces and His Light in the Dark. Her favorite movie is Star Wars, a love her son shares. They hope to build their own Millennium Falcon one day. She would like to meet the Winchester Boys to thank them for enlightening her on the versatility of salt as not just a food enhancer, but as protection from supernatural threats. And she thinks it would be interesting to be a zombie, to get an idea of what life is like as a brain-addicted fiend so she can be their voice to tell their side of the story. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and kids, their two spoiled cats and their awesome dog.
