Gargoyle Addiction (Otherworlds Summons, #1) by Livia Olteano







4/5 Sizzling Stars

4 HOT Hearts for heat

Ok so first of all this is a very very different PNR book for me. I was so freaking confused in a lot of the book but the love story between these two strong and funny characters kept me reading through my confusion. The confusion had nothing to do with writing quality or style. This was just a completely new paranormal plot and type of characters. Gargoyles have always in my mind represented something gross and ugly. Well not anymore! Kann is super ALPHA and super HOT. Loved his smart ass dirty mouth and loved his obsession with Karla. This guy had a way with words and his protective instincts kept me swooning.


Loved the description of the other worlds and their characters even thought half the time I needed a dictionary to keep up. Guess what? She includes one at the end LOL.

Can't wait for the next installment and am curious about where she'll take us next. Dragon Craving looks good and I want more Obitus now!

Always Me (Shattered #2) by Jo-Anna Walker

Always Me (Shattered, #2)
My rating: 4 of 5 stars






4/5 Sizzling Stars
5/5 Sizzling Hearts for Heat!!



Wow, what a roller coaster ride! This book did keep me on the edge of my seat for sure. Jo-Anna Walker knows her way around romantic suspense. There was a unique little extra in this book. A ..special POV you'd never expect. But it really added something extra to this story. Sebastian and Tori were really drawn to each other and there wasn't anything that could keep them apart. Hot love scenes burned the pages. I loved the other characters and really want to know more about Garreth and Keisha. There were some WTH? moments but the suspense kept the story flowing and had me flipping through the pages to find out what was going to happen. Sweet epilogue and just a very hot book.
Thanks Jo-Anna!

Break Me by Jo-Anna Walker

Break Me (Shattered, #1)

Title: Break Me
Genre: Romantic Suspense, Erotic Romance, Contemporary


4/5 Sizzling Stars
5/5 Sizzling Hearts for Heat!!


Oh man I could just about scream right about now! I mean for real?? Like I omg! Super hot book, sizzling sex scenes and a whole lot of suspense. But freaking cliffhanger to make you want to punch somebody. I really only wish there had been a little more romance between the main characters to make the "love" more believable. I am diving into book 2 and hoping for more growth ..but don't skimp on the smut..that was perfect!

Mine (Real, #2) by Katy Evans



 5 million Sizzling Hearts & Stars !!!!!!


Everybody that knows me knows that REAL was my all time favorite steamy romance of 2013. I told everyone about this blue eyed licking lion. I made my one and only book trailer for this.

 




I had never even written a real review until REAL (Pun intended) 
I was in a book funk for so long and didn't ever in a million years think that Mine could live up to what REAL did to my heart.
PEOPLE I WAS SO WRONG. Mine blew me away! I loved it more than REAL and that is a big deal to me.
Remy and Brooke just did something to my heart. I think it all began with reading about Remy's childhood and that he was "discarded" and pushed away. My heart broke for this beautiful human being.
Brooke steps in and immediately starts showing Remy this amazing love that he so deserved. 

"I want him more than any one of these screaming women wants
him. I want every fragmented part of him. I want his body. His mind.
His heart. His beautiful soul."

Brooke loved Remy with everything in her and I felt so happy for him to finally have somebody that would fight and stand by his side no matter what. I was so mad at Brooke in REAL at the end when she left him in that hospital bed and I knew that her actions would come back to haunt her. When she encountered what those actions may have done to their relationship while apart, my heart broke with her.

"I’m
not perfect. I’ve never been taught to do this. I never dreamed of
love, a partner "
 You'll have to read Mine to understand exactly the roller coaster this took me on. I felt so strongly the utter despair that Brooke felt and how I knew in heart ..that something wasn't right.  I won't give anything away but just know that Remy is the most loyal true and honest character I have ever encountered. He never ever lets you down.

When Remy shows his love ..he not only shows it, he completely immerses Brooke in his love.
Their passion burns the pages and you can't help but be swept away.  Remy is so possessive and loving and just perfect. I want to reach in my Kindle and pull him out. His scenting, licking and petting is just over the top amazing.

 I can only imagine what thoughts will be portrayed in his POV coming up in Remy.
He loves from the bottom of his beautifully damaged soul and Brooke was what he wanted , who he loved and he made sure she knew it. 





 So many things happened in Mine that just made me fall in love with this couple more and more.
Brooke grew to someone I felt respect for by the end and I felt her love helped heal Remy in more ways then one. She helped give him more than just a woman's love, she was his biggest supporter and his best friend. But most of all she gave him a family. Something he never really felt apart of.
Brooke saw not what was broken in Remy, she saw what was whole..his beautiful heart ...his amazing strength and his steadfast loyalty. She knew he deserved every ounce of her adoration , every single second of her devotion and she was determined to let him know how much he was loved.

"God, I love him, and I never want him to forget it!"
Katy has a way with words, she has a way with reaching and grabbing you by the freaking heart. I loved every moment. Her song choices again were spot on. But the one song that really spoke to me, that really portrayed the love between Brooke and Remy is  below.

Kelly Clarkson Darkside
everybody's got a dark side
do you love me?
can you love mine?
nobody's a picture perfect
but we're worth it
you know that we're worth it
will you love me?
even with my dark side?
don't run away
don't run away
just tell me that you will stay
promise me you will stay
don't run away
don't run away
just promise me you will stay
promise me you will stay

will you love me?

Brooke loved him, she promised she'd stay and even though she ran once...she made up for it a billion times making sure her knew he was her REAL always. 

I am so excited to start Remy this week and Katy is still in my top favorite people ever. I am so eager to also find out what she has in store for us in Ripped and Raw coming up in the next year. Katy, I'm in utter awe and just one more time, Thank you for your brilliance, imagination and creative soul!

Let Love Heal (Love #3) by Melissa Collins

Let Love Heal (Love, #3)Let Love Heal by Melissa Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5/5 Sizzling Stars

4/5 Sizzling Hearts for Heat





I absolutely loved Let Love In & Let Love Stay and really was so excited about Melanie's book. This book was written totally different then the the previous two in the series. There was no alternate POV and it went back and forth from the past to the present. This story was more about Melanie's growth as an individual than it was the romance between Bryan and Melanie. While their love story did develop, change and finally heal while the story progressed the main focus was not on their relationship.
Melanie tried to be perfect for everyone and wasn't comfortable in her own skin. She judged everyone's motives any time they showed her affection or gave her compliments. This caused her to think the worst of people and in so many ways made life harder for her than it had to be.
While I loved the underlying meaning in this story, coming to love yourself, I was disappointed in the love story. It was still a pretty solid story but I didn't feel as connected with Bryan and Melanie than I did with the previous couple. I still am very glad I found this series and can still give this book a solid 3.5 stars. But rating on heat I still thought the love scenes were amazing and that still earns a big 4 Sizzling Hearts for heat.

Review: Running From Forever by Ashley Wilcox

Running From Forever (The Forever Series, #5)Running From Forever by Ashley Wilcox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rating 4 of 5 Sizzling Stars


This is a spin-off from The Forever Series by Ashley Wilcox.
I have not read any of those books as of yet.

This book really had me on the edge of my seat. Now at first I almost was like "this is too sugary sweet". Girl moves to new city, meets hot guy, goes out..bam in love. NOPE Don't see it. Then WHAM! SUPER TWIST ALERT!!
I won't give anything away but not everything is how it seem.

The one thing that bothered me in this whole story is Merrick. I loved him and I loved his relationship with Kayla. But what I didn't like is how there was more "relationship" between them that grew and developed then between Kayla and Miles. I want more for Kayla and Miles. I just felt something was missing. But I enjoyed it and I really loved the multiple POV. I can't wait for Merrick's story and I really love his physical description. Tattooed hotties always make me happy.

Now I really have to go back and read the books in the series that this came from.

For the Love of A Cowboy (Cowboy Dreamin #3) by Sandy Sullivan

4/5 Sizzling Stars

5/5 Sizzling Hearts for Heat!!





This is the 3rd book in the Cowboy Dreamin series by Sandy Sullivan.
Each book has really captivated me so far. I loved this story just as much as the first 2 books. It had a more serious edge to it. Lot's of moral and personal issues are dealt with and were even hard for me to read about. My kids are my life so as a mother and lover of life I had some difficulty with a few parts. But in the end Sandy wrapped up this sweet story just right.



The parts with all the family interacting and especially the differences in the 9 brothers personalities keeps me intrigued and anxious for the next.
Super hot love scenes and I want more of these awesome cowboys now!
