Synopsis

DEFIANCE OF THE HEART (SINS OF THE HEART BOOK 2)

Monica James

For never was there a story of more woe than that of Holland Brooks and her Romeo…

For as long as I can remember, London Sinclair was the boy who was forbidden. It didn’t matter that he made my heart skip a beat. Our surnames fated us to be sworn enemies. But when the truth was finally revealed, my life changed forever.

Lies have shaped our past, leaving London and me to pick up the pieces. But through the chaos, one thing is certain—I love London, and he loves me, and we won’t allow anyone to tear us apart again.

However, life has a funny way of proving us wrong.

As we attempt to make amends for the past ten years, we soon discover that the ghosts of our past will do anything to drive us apart. We are once again surrounded by deceit and betrayal, testing us in ways we never imagined.

When I’m faced with a proposition to end this heartache once and for all, I blindly agree. That decision changes everything, and I soon learn that those who act in haste create their own destruction.

Does love really triumph all? Or will London and I succumb to what was always written in the stars?

[Book Review] 1001 Dark Nights: The Prince by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Published on August 14, 2018August 13, 2018 by Tracey-JLeave a comment

She’s everything he wants….

Cold. Heartless. Deadly. Whispers of his name alone bring fear to fae and mortals alike. The Prince. There is nothing in the mortal world more dangerous than him. Haunted by a past he couldn’t control, all Caden desires is revenge against those who’d wronged him, trapping him in never-ending nightmare. And there is one person he knows can help him.

She’s everything he can’t have…

Raised within the Order, Brighton Jussier knows just how dangerous the Prince is, reformed or not. She’d seen firsthand what atrocities he could be capable of. The last thing she wants to do is help him, but he leaves her little choice. Forced to work alongside him, she begins to see the man under the bitter ice. Yearning for him feels like the definition of insanity, but there’s no denying the heat in his touch and the wicked promise is his stare.

She’s everything he’ll take….

But there’s someone out there who wants to return the Prince to his former self. A walking, breathing nightmare that is hell-bent on destroying the world and everyone close to him. The last thing either of them needs is a distraction, but with the attraction growing between them each now, the one thing he wants more than anything may be the one thing that will be his undoing.

She’s everything he’d die for….

Publication Date: 14th August 2018
Page Length: 125 pages
Characters: Caden, Brighton

*I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

Usually, Novellas don’t pack much punch but this one has it but by the bucket load. It may only be 125 pages long but soooo much happens. I really needed this to be longer. I need more!

The story follows Brighton who you may remember from the Wicked Saga, 2 years after the queen has been sent back to the other world. We get to see a little bit from Ivy, Ren and of course TINK! Who if you ask me is the star of this series?

Jen really knows how to craft swoon-worthy male characters, the Prince is no exception, while I may have hated him with a fiery passion when I read the Wicked Trilogy, I couldn’t help but start to really like this guy.

I could go on for ages but I don’t want to give away any spoilers, if you loved Wicked then you will love this!

My Rating: 4/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟

[Book Review] Boy Toy by Sarina Bowen & Tanya Eby

Published on August 13, 2018July 29, 2018 by Tracey-JLeave a comment

A brand new romantic comedy from your favorite snort-laughing duo!

Liam

The moment Sadie Matthews walks through the daycare center door, I feel my world tilt in her direction. Again. I fell for her when I was fourteen, and I’m still not over her. Problem: she still thinks of me as a teen she used to babysit. But I’ve learned a few things about pleasing a woman in the last fifteen years. I can’t wait to show her how good it could be. I need to move quickly before I lose her again. This is more than a game to me, but I still plan to win.

Sadie

I’ve just survived the worst year of my life. As a single mom of twin toddlers, I don’t have time for a man. I barely have time to finish a thought. Who knew that Liam McAllister would grow up to be so devastating? He’s everything my husband was not: tall, built, and willing to have a tea party with my girls.

I can’t possibly get involved with him. He’s too young for me. Too handsome. But he’s so persuasive…

Publication Date: 14th August 2018
Page Length: 451
Characters: Sadie, Liam

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

Yes, it’s Sadie’s turn! I’ve been waiting really impatiently for this one ever since ever since Man Card and it was flipping fantastic!! So worth waiting for.

Sadie is attempting to get back in the dating game when she bumps into the boy she used to babysit at the nursery where her twins go. Liam is no longer the 14y ear old kid she remembers, he’s full grown and devastatingly handsome.

The attraction between these two is intense! It’s seriously hot. I really liked the storyline of older women, younger man it made a refreshing change from the norm. I loved Liam he is just great and he’s definitely a guy that a lot of Mom’s will swoon over, hell I thought he was swoony with Sadie’s girls and I don’t like children so that’s something!

I was so pleased that Sadie finally found someone that appreciated her and that she got the happy ending she deserved.

I’m so hoping for another book… maybe one about Sadie’s Sister? 🤞🏻

R.S. Grey’s newest romantic comedy, NOT SO NICE GUY, is available TODAY! Get your hands on it now!

About NOT SO NICE GUY

“Oh my god. Who is that?”

I get asked this question a lot.

“Oh him?” I reply. “That’s just Ian.”

Just Ian is the biggest understatement of the century. Just the Mona Lisa. Just the Taj Mahal. Just Ian, with his boring ol’ washboard abs and dime-a-dozen dimpled smile.

Just Ian is…just my best friend.

We’re extremely close, stuck so deep inside a Jim-and-Pam-style friendzone everyone at work assumes we’re a couple—that is until one day, word spreads through the teacher’s lounge that he’s single. Fair game. Suddenly, it’s open season on Ian.

He should be reveling in all the newfound attention, but to our mutual surprise, the only attention he seems to want is mine.

He’s turning our formerly innocent nightly chats into X-rated phone calls. Our playful banter sports a new, dangerous edge.

I want to assume he’s playing a prank on me, just pushing my buttons like always—but when Ian lifts me onto the desk in my classroom and slides his hands up my skirt, he doesn’t leave a lot of room for confusion.

I’m a little scared of things going south, of losing my best friend because I can’t keep my hands to myself. So, I’m just going to back away and not return this earth-shattering kiss—oh who am I kidding?!

Goodbye Ian, ol’ buddy, ol’ pal!

I laughed a lot reading this books, R.S.Grey is one of my favorite romance authors. I will read anything this women writes she is just so bloody funny. Sam and Ian have been best friends for 3 years, they have also been secretly in love with one onther for roughly the same time.

I think for the first time I loved both of these characters equally, both of them are so cute and I really liked their friendship. The sexual tension between them is sizzles, there’s as phone sex scene that was particular steamy! The ending is so satisifying and just Sam and Ian it reallt gives you all the feels!

There’s so much more that I could tell you about this book but I dont’ want give any spoilers! Just buy this because you won’t be disappointed.

Excerpt

“Where are we going?” She turns a curious eye toward me, tilting her head to the side. I glance over my shoulder as I guide her a few steps away and around a corner.

“Trust me?” She nods, and I point to the closed door in front of us.

“The cloakroom?” she asks with a teasing smile.

“Shush,” I whisper, twisting the handle to see if it’s locked. It moves in my hand. I’m in luck.

I open the door wide enough for us both to slide inside, then leave it cracked a few inches so a sliver of light streams in. Aside from a few empty hangers on a rod, the room is bare.

“What are we doing in here?” Tessa asks, but her eager eyes give her away. She wants me as much as I want her.

“I need something from you before we join the others.” I lean forward and speak into her ear.

“What’s that?” she breathes.

“This.” I place my hands on her back. She shivers at my touch, following with a sweet sigh. My fingers trail over her velvety skin, lingering at the simple hook connecting her lone strap. If only we had more time. “Your skin’s so smooth and silky.”

I bend down and kiss her lips, and she returns it with a passion matching mine. Tessa links her fingers behind my neck, and we are lost in each other. Minutes later, when we both need to draw in a breath, I move my lips down her neck and over the exposed curves of her breasts.

“I want to taste all of you,” I say against her skin, and feel her pulse racing like mine.

Dropping to my knee, I bring my hands to the back of her toned legs, and trace the delicate skin behind her knees. Her muscles flex and release in anticipation. With a feather like touch, I inch up her thighs, finding the lacy edge of her panties. “Has anyone touched you here?”

“No one,” she blows out between labored breaths. She gazes down at me with eyes full of desire, but there’s a tentativeness in them I can’t ignore. My touches, and the promise of more between us, are new and unchartered territory for her.

I rise to my full height, changing our position. Looking down at her, I wonder if this beautiful woman is ready for what I want to do to her and what we can be together. I have to ease her into things, build her confidence. It should be her decision to freely give into the passion and trust me. Let me make her mine. I won’t push her from the base of the mountain to the peak in one night.

“I want to be the first. Are you okay with that?” I run my fingers over the curve of her shoulders.

“Yes, please,” she begs.

Review

This was a fairly entertaining read. The romance a bit fast for my normal liking but it didn’t hamper things too much.

I liked Tessa, she was sweet and innocent typical girl from the South, she was a little naive at times but mostly pretty sensible. Barclay was kind meh he didn’t really excite me, intact I thought he was a bit boring most of the time. I enjoyed the chemistry between the two if them though and I thought that he was really good to Tessa, he didn’t rush her into anything she didn’t want to do and he tried to be the good guy.

Overall this was a nice light romantic read.

My Rating 3/5 🌟🌟🌟

[Book Review] Bad Boy Rich by Kat T. Mason

Published on July 29, 2018July 29, 2018 by Tracey-JLeave a comment

He called himself Bad Boy Rich.
The baddest boy in town.
Not my town, but the land of Hollywood.
A place where dreams come true, or—become your nightmare.
I was stuck somewhere in the middle.

After losing her job and forced to provide for her sick mother, Milana is offered the role of a lifetime—PA to the famous Emerson Chase—and dives head first into the world of the Rich…

Wesley Rich.

A self-proclaimed bad boy.
The ultimate heartbreaker, and—he’s Emerson’s ex-fiancé.
A lethal mix that Milana should stay away from.

Driven by sex, jealously and mind games, they form an obsessive love.
But everyone knows bad boys don’t play nice.
They play rough.
They get dirty.
And they’ll break you in the worst possible way.

Publication Date: 24th July 2018
Page Length: 400
Characters: Milana, Wesley

*I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

Oh jeez, this book really wasn’t my cup of tea.

There was so much wrong with it and for once I know exactly where to start and it’s with this paragraph here:

“He was awesome…except for when he got into a mood and acted like an overly hormonal teenager with a brooding face. And his obsession with my whereabouts and responding to his messages. Now that I think of it, it was borderline creepy.

But the best-sex-you’ve-ever-had outweighs creepy by a longshot. This is what happens when your boyfriend is insanely sexy and has the stamina of a wild stallion. Your vagina becomes a bossy bitch and boy did she boss me around”

So by this logic, as long as the sex is great it gives a guy carte blanche to behave like an utter bell end?? It’s disturbing that she things like this and it gives a really bad message, I’m so sick of reading books where this sort of mindset is the norm.

The story didn’t get better from this point it actually got worse. Thinking back this should have been a DNF because I wasted a good 3 hours reading this. Like it could have been redeemed if there characters and gotten their shit together before the last 3 pages of the book.

I’m so done.

My rating 1/5 🌟

[Book Review] Flip Trick – Amo Jones

Published on July 28, 2018July 25, 2018 by Tracey-JLeave a comment

I did something I had never done before.

I had a one-night stand.

Then in true me fashion, I left my phone at his house during my desperate venture to escape.

I tried hard to ignore the texts sent to my best friend’s phone…

Amethyst: Sup, these selfies are cute as shit, but your lips looked better wrapped around my…

I did NOT text him back.

I DID vow to never speak of him, or that night again…

I’m Amethyst Lily Tatum, and up until this point, I’d managed to maintain a fairly low-key life. I’m what you would call a socially unacceptable hot mess. Instead of partying, I’m skating, flipping ollie’s over guys who loved to underestimate me. Then I started college, met a wild girl who I would soon call my best-friend, had my first drunk one-night stand, left my phone at his house, and then, when I finally managed to meet my mom’s new boyfriend, I found out that my one-night stand, was now my new stepbrother.

Publication Date: 2018
Characters: Amethyst, Maddox

*I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

You know that feeling when you read the blurb of the book and you get really excited to read it because it sounds so good but then you read it and all you excitement is crushed because the story actually sucked…. Well that was this book.

My man beef is with Maddox, he is just vile, don’t get me wrong I like a bad boy just as much as the next person but this guy was borderline abusive for no apparent reason. I don’t understand how he was suppose to be attractive when his personality was so ugly.

I liked Amethyst in the beginning but second she got with with Maddox she became a winey self absorbed girl who could barely function without him! Hello this is the 21st century, its fine to wallow in that shit for a while but then you pull on your big girl panties and move the hell on, no guy is worth almost killing yourself over.

There’s a whole twist at the end but it was so bored with the two main characters that I didn’t care what was happening to them anymore.

[Book Review] The Four Day Fling by Emma Hart

Published on July 26, 2018July 24, 2018 by Tracey-JLeave a comment

The Four Day Fling by Emma Hart

A standalone romantic comedy of epically awkward proportions, from New York Times bestselling author, Emma Hart.

Imagine this. You’re ready to leave after a one-night stand, and you’re figuring out how to—shock horror—leave your number and ask him to be your fake boyfriend for your sister’s wedding this weekend. When he wakes up. Well, that happened to me. And over coffee and omelets, I found myself a date.

Which was how I ended up arriving at the wedding with a guy I knew nothing about. I didn’t know his last name, or how we met, or how long we’d been dating. I didn’t know where he grew up, what he’d majored in in college, or how many siblings he had. I sure as hell didn’t know he was Adam Winters, hotshot hockey player—and not only my father’s favorite player, but my little nephew’s freakin’ idol. Which means I’m in trouble. Big, big trouble. My mother is suspicious, my sister is bridezilla on crack, and my grandpa will tell anyone who’ll listen about his time in Amsterdam’s Red Light District. Four days. I have to keep this up for four days, and then Adam and I can return to our regular lives, where we don’t have sex whenever we’re alone and my family aren’t interrogating him over his intentions with me.

At least, that’s the plan. And we all know what happens to those.

Page Length: 219
Characters: Poppy, Adam

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

This book had me chuckling from page one, its feel good, it’s funny and so entertaining. Poppy’s level of sass is of epic proportions, I loved her.

Her family, on the other hand, particularly her mother is a complete nightmare and I completely understand why needs booze to get through her family gatherings.

I loved Adam and her together, he just got her snark and threw it back at her, their banter is really what gave this book most of its humor and the ending just had all of the feels! It’s everything a rom-com should be.

I don’t have anything negative to say because I thoroughly enjoyed this one, its the first book by Emma Hart that I have read so I’m really excited to check out more of her work!

My rating 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Emma Hart is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over thirty novels and has been translated into several different languages.

She is a mother, wife, lover of wine, Pink Goddess, and valiant rescuer of wild baby hedgehogs.

Emma prides herself on her realistic, snarky smut, with comebacks that would make a PMS-ing teenage girl proud.

Yes, really. She’s that sarcastic.
