My Review

5 of 5 Beautiful Dreams

Beautiful Dreams is an amazing and I mean amazing continuation of Kyle and Lily's story and I have to say that Alicia Rae has stepped up her game and she has brought it home with this one and I mean I laughed and I cried and everything in between because Lily has grown so much and has finally opened her heart up to Kyle and let him in. She has always known she loves him but opening up and letting him in was very hard for her but sweet baby Jesus she did it!

Lily has taken the chance and opened her heart up to Kyle and moved across the country to be with him and his family and friends. Boy oh boy what a difference a change in scenery can make. Plus Lily has Kyle's sister and her friends there to support them and help them along the way. Kyle has finally broken all of Lily's walls but he still has some walls of pain up for himself and Lily is determined to heal him just like he did for her.

Together Kyle and Lily have to learn to live in the moment and put all the bad things in the past in the past and leave them there in order to move on and have a happy life together. Once these two do that then things start to fall into place and as Kyle builds his career up with his friends Lily is making friends of her own and getting out and experiencing a new life full of love and caring people.

What is in store for this couple is anyone's guess because yes oh yes we get more of them in book four! Whoop whoop I love Alicia Rae!

My Review

5 of 5 My Beautiful

Okay so to say that I loved book one in this series was big for me because people had mixed reviews but I loved every minute of it. Then I started reading book two and I was totally blown away! You hear me blown away and I could not believe the twists and turns and all the secrets and lies that came out and yes there is still that danger lurking in the back but I can't quite figure it out so I was just reading along trying to figure it out and then holy effing hell I got some glimpses of things in Lily's family and I was like mother lover WTF???????????

Lily has finally let Kyle in her heart because she can't live without him. He is her air to breathe and when he is not around she suffers and so she decides she will open her heart up to him and let him in and see where things go from there. Kyle loves Lily and he has never given up on her and he tries everyday to make sure to let her know she is loved and she is special and I have to say that yes I fell more in love with Kyle in this book because he just shows Lily that no matter what he will be there for her.

Lily needs that in this book because remember when I told you lies and secrets started coming out well they were revealed and boy oh boy what Lily learns is crazy. She will have to come face to face with her aunt and cousins and to say that it is awkward is an understatement. What her aunt tells her is crazy and Lily will have to come face to face with reality but I have a feeling she will be okay because she has Kyle. I need book three like yesterday to see what the heck is going on!

My Review

5 of 5 Beautiful Chances

Beautiful Chances is one of those stories that will stay with you long after you have read it. I have never read something so powerful and full of raw emotions like this story has.

Can you imagine you have the perfect life, the perfect parents, and a loving sister. You do things together and you home life is happy and then in the blink of an eye everything is taken from you and you are left alone with no parents and no sister. Well that happened to Lily and now she is numb to everything and everyone around her.She lives day to day until she meets Kyle.

Lord Kyle is definitely all alpha male who comes into Lily's life like a wrecking ball who is determined to knock down her walls. Even though Lily has decided she will close her heart off she can't close it off from Kyle because there is something there that is drawing him to her and she lets him in. When she does it is like a breath of fresh air for her because Kyle helps her heal from the pain she has endured.

But all good things come to an end right?????????? Well Lily is waiting for that to happen to her and Kyle but will it? Can Kyle heal her? Or will dark pasts and secrets come around to come between these two?

5 of 5 Concealed

Okay first off this is the first book I have read by Victoria Michaels and it will not be the last!I mean I was hooked right from the prologue and could not get enough. I needed more and I could not read fast enough. I love me some thrillers and when I read them I get so absorbed in what i'm reading I start yelling at the book like the characters can hear me and this book holy eff was no different.

You pick it up and open it and holy eff it is a baby. Your panic meter is so up and then you realize that the lady is screaming for you to take the baby and then you see a man coming towards you. You have a split second to make your decision she decides to grab the baby and run.

Xpresso Presents The Replacement by Rachael Wade Blog Tour Stop


The Replacement by Rachael Wade
Publication date: January 27th 2014
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult

Synopsis:

*Contains sexually explicit content and mature subject matter, including language and elements of abuse.*

A gritty New Adult drama about a young woman’s self-destructive quest to find purpose, self-worth, and love in a broken world.

My name is Elise Duchamp. I’m twenty-three years old and I’m known as the town whore.

No, not the kind who exchanges sexual favors for money. The other kind. The kind who gives it all away for free, whenever and however she likes. I am that girl. The one everyone whispers about and the one none of the girls seem to like, because all of their boyfriends either want to sleep with me or already have. Promiscuity is my thing—the kind that slowly, violently turns my insides black, but gives me something I need.

All things considered, I’m not completely reckless. I’m safe, and contrary to popular opinion, I do have a heart. I live in a world of careless choices, and with those choices come careless people. I cannot judge them, because I am one of them. I too bow down to the altar of the self-serving. I am not a good friend. I am not and never could be anyone’s girlfriend. I’m convinced any goodness in me shriveled up and died long ago.

But I am a replacement. That is something I know how to be, and this is a story of the lengths I’d go to in order to keep it that way.

My Review

5 of 5 Heights Of Desire

First off I have to say KUDOS to Mara White for her debut! Man I have to say that this series is going to be off the hook! I love novella's and reading this had me thinking about all the days I spent watching novella's with my grandfather. He would be yelling at the TV in Spanish and telling me what an idiot the people were being.

Right from the start when I started reading this story I thought dam can you imagine having it all but having nothing all at the same time? Well Kate knows this because she has everything from education to a loving husband to kids. She is living the life that most people dream of but there is something missing for her and when she finds it in a younger man her heart and her life will change. When Kate lays eyes on Jaylee she can't stop thinking she wants him in more ways then one and she is not sure where those feelings come from because she is happily married and has children but when she sees Jaylee something awakens in her.

Jaylee lord knows he is all sorts bad with a cocky attitude and looks to melt the skin right off you. He is a bad boy in all sorts of ways but when he meets Kate his world comes crashing down around him. The walls he keeps up come crashing down and when he and Kate get closer and things start to fall in place they realize there are a few issues at hand and one of them being he is younger than her and he comes from the streets. He is not educated like her and he does not have anything to offer her but love.

Can love be enough for these two or will the real world come crashing down on them and tear them apart? Holy shizz this is a must read for all you romance lovers!

Literati Author Services, Inc. Presents Hardpressed (Hacker #2) by Meredith Wild Book Review


Title: Hardpressed (Hacker#2)
Author: Meredith Wild
Genre: Erotic Romance 18+
Publication Date: December 9, 2013
Event organized by: Literati Author Services, Inc.

Synopsis:

In Hardpressed, the highly anticipated second book of the Hacker Series that began with Hardwired, Blake and Erica face threats that put both their love and their lives on the line. Despite Blake Landon’s controlling ways, the young and wealthy hacker finally won the trust of the woman he loves.

 Internet entrepreneur Erica Hathaway broke down the walls that kept her from opening her heart and her business to Blake. Ready to start this new chapter in her life, Erica is determined not to let anything come between them, even if that means giving Blake back some of the control he craves in and out of the bedroom.

 But when demons from her past threaten their future, Erica makes a decision that could change their lives forever. 


My Review

5 of 5 Hardpressed

First off I have to say that Meredith Wild sure knows how to hook someone and keep them there. The first book in this series totally blew me away and I could not wait for the highly anticipated sequel and let me tell you Meredith did not disappoint as a matter of fact I was so caught up in everything that I totally did nothing around the house or with the kids for a full day. They ate takeout for breakfast and lunch and diner and then I sent them to my mother's house so I could finish reading in quiet. To say I loved Hardpressed is such an understatement!

Man oh man I sure do love my controlling alpha Blake. He wanted Erica and he stopped at nothing to have her and now he has her and he will have to work hard to keep her. He knows he is controlling and he will have to give some of that up in order to keep the peace and make sure Erica does not go anywhere. Blake has decided yes he loved his life but the biggest piece he was missing was Erica and he refuses to lose her so with everything so fresh and new in their lives when the past comes back to get what it wants things will be set into motion and Blake will have to fight like hell to keep Erica.

What will happen between these two? Can Erica keep the walls down from her heart long enough to let Blake in and stay there? Will the past destroy them? With everything going on there is so much I want to say but I do not want to ruin it for anyone. When I tell you you need to read this series you NEED TO READ IT! I love it so much and I know you will to so go out and get it and give it a try!

About the Author:

Meredith Wild picked up her first romance novel at the tender age of twelve, and shortly after put pen to word processor and made her first attempt at writing a love story inspired by those she so enjoyed reading well past her bedtime.Her dream of writing took a back seat to college, parenthood and eventually entrepreneurship, which led her into the fast-paced and male-dominated high tech industry. 

With enough life experience for a few lifetimes, she now devotes her hours to writing contemporary adult romance, with a hint of kink.Her debut novel Hardwired tells the story of billionaire bad boy, Blake Landon, and the object of his obsession, strong-willed tech startup CEO, Erica Hathaway.When she isn’t writing or mothering, Meredith can be found sunbathing with an adult beverage.
