Title : Devlin UnLeashed

Author : Bethany Bazile

Series : N/A

Rating : 3 Stars

Blurb : Devlin Ward was a ruthless man. A man born among violence with a heavily burdened mind. He wasn’t the sort of man fairy tales were made of, but he was sinfully beautiful, and addictively seductive. Dark and dangerous, yet utterly alluring. Iâd fooled myself once, only allowing myself to see the beauty in him despite the shadows Iâd glimpsed in his eyes. When that darkness took over, I ran.

And now heâs found me. Heâd trusted me with his love and now he wants it back. And heâs all too willing to crush my heart to make his whole again.

Juliana betrayed me. Went against everything I believed in and pushed the monster I tried to keep hidden out into the open. Our love was twistedâand Iâd made it that way. But I wasn’t prepared to let it go. I hunted her for years, picking up traces of her scent as she moved from city to city to escape me. Now that Iâve found her, Iâm not sure even her fiery light can brighten the blackout she left me in when she walked away.

Mature content warning: This title is darkly romantic and intended for Adults 18+ due to explicit sexual content, language, violence, and dubious consent.**Standalone Novel**

Review : Fans of dark novels will find an enjoyable read in Devlin Unleashed I am sure. I however had some problems with the plot and storytelling. Which does not mean its bad at all because the writing is flawless, it is just that I do not especially like it when a story is not told in its right timeline. In addition, there were some actions of Devlin (which I do not want to spoiler) that gave me a hard time connecting with him. But I still would like to recommend it to all Fans of dark erotic romances! But I will surly pick up another book by this Author.

Title : The Consequence of Loving Colton

Author : Rachel Van Dyken

Series :Consequence, #1

Rating : 5 Stars

Blurb :

My name is Milo Caro and I have a confession to make. Iâve been in love with Colton Mathews since I was five. He should have known that sharing a cookie with a sugar obsessed little monster would do the trickâit sealed his fate. So really, the fact that heâs sporting a black eye, a limp, almost got ran over by a car, and was nearly responsible for another personâs death? Right. HIs fault. Not mine. I made a pact with myselfâthis weekend would be different. Iâd come home for my brothers wedding, smile, and Colton would naturally melt into my arms, weâd get married have five kids, live in a house by the river, and get a dog named scratch (clearly Iâve thought this through).What really happened? I punched my brother in the face, Colton kissed me and apologized, I lied about having a boyfriend, oh and everyone wants to meet the mystery man. They say laughter always comes before insanityâha, ha. All I wanted was my brotherâs best friendâ¦instead Iâm sitting in prison. Let this be a lesson to you allâ¦life rarely happens the way you want it to. Damn cookie.

Review :

What can I say? There is so much I want to say…need to say…want to scream out! THIS BOOK IS BEYOND AWESOME! Really…. Where do I begin? What I love most about this book are all the lovely, special and and deep characters(MAX, how could you not love MAX–>I wish I could have a buddie like MAX) which are the main reason you just need to fall in love with this book. It’s the craziest constellation of characters I have ever met in one single book(the Granny not to forget). The way they interact with each other, they talk to each other, how they are intertwined…And then there is the story the characters are creating within the course of action . After I finished this book, my first thought after smiling for a long long time was: “Wait, what kind of story is this? Right from the beginning it was pretty clear that this is going to end like this and that this is the way how the story is going to develop. ” Normally this thought should made me shrink as it is something which you don’t want to thing about after finishing a book. But you know what? With this book it really doesn’t matter! You get what is described in the plot-nothing more, nothing less(in reference to the story). It’s a story about a girl who doesn’t want to be seen as a girl anymore, more as s woman who still is in love with the best friend of her brother. Since she was a kid herself….

It was lovely to see and hear the thoughts of the protagonists as the story is written in two different POV’s which is awesome as you have the chance to get to see the story not only through Milo’s eyes, also through Colton’s. I am sure that some parts of the story could be “too positive” for some readers, but if they just enjoy what lays ahead of them without worrying about this part, they just need to LOVE IT, no matter what. I totally would describe this story as a “feel god-story” as it is the way how you feel after finishing the book.

I started to read this book in the early morning, because I wasn’t able to sleep anymore at all and finished it at midday without even getting to eat something or preaparing myself for the day(Shame on me? NO, not really :D). During these hours of pure joy, I couldn’t stop myself and took so many screenshots that it now feels like my smartphone is exploding! I loved the movie references, the comparisons (“Seriusly. His smile was one that made girls want the condom to break.”), the situations in which Tic Tac Toe or Ping Pong gets a total new meaning or the fact that finally I found somebody who has the same ability to destroy everything within reach by just relocating the bag hanging over my shoulder…. The fact that 4 single words “Skinny-dipping, wine, moonlight, swordplay” in combination with a castle can mean so much ….

This book totally screams Rachel right from the very beginning!

INFO: There is a second book announced including Max’s story.

COVER REVEAL – ROYAL WATCH and ROYAL COMMAND by Stacey Marie Brown

04 Wednesday Mar 2020

Posted by Jeri in RAMBLINGS

≈ Leave a comment

Royal Watch and Royal Command, an all-new sexy, suspenseful royal romance duet by Stacey Marie Brown is releasing April 8th and May 13th!

There are many stories about regular girls meeting a prince,
falling in love, and living happily ever after…blah, blah, blah.

This is not that story.

As a lowly Baron’s daughter, I sit on the outskirts of the noble circle, watching the royal
family from afar. Exactly where I’d rather be. To me that world was
anything but magical or fantasy, their lives under a relentless microscope, controlled
by traditions and expectations. I was the girl dreaming about becoming a
veterinarian and surrounding myself with animals instead of people.

A wallflower who suddenly bloomed, I
somehow nabbed the attention of the arrogant, but undeniably handsome, Theodore
Alexander Philip Robert David Livingston.

The Prince of Great Victoria.

I never imagined falling in love with a prince, but I did.

When Theo comes back from the Royal Air Force with an
extremely sexy, but extremely arrogant new bodyguard, Lennox Easton, everything
is flipped upside down. Tattooed, mysterious, and cruel, our mutual hatred for
each becomes even more complicated when I move into the palace, becoming the
official girlfriend of Prince Theo, and now under Lennox’s watch.

Thrown in a society which controls my every move, social
media viciously coming after me, and paparazzi looking for any juicy gossip, my
world becomes a cage. Glided or not, my life becomes nothing like I imagined, I
find myself turning to the very last person I should.

When family secrets start to surface from the past, old
enemies come for revenge, along with black mail, forbidden love, and
devastating revelations.

Everything is set to bring me down and even take my life.

I knew loving a prince would come with sacrifices, but when
you give up everything …when does the fairytale become a nightmare?

Everyone thought I was living the fairytale—marrying a
prince and living happily ever after.

That only happens in movies.

I was actually living a nightmare. A gilded cage crushing my
soul.

After a terrorist attack almost took my life and my
bodyguard, Lennox, trapping us together, we were forced to face things we tried
to deny. Feelings we could no longer ignore.

Leave it to me to do the stupidest thing possible—fall for
my bodyguard. But there was no fighting our hunger. Our overwhelming
connection.

It made me realize how much my life had been for others: my
family, the royals…Theo. But once you are part of the royal family, you cannot
just walk away. Especially when you find yourself engaged and being groomed to
be the future queen.

With a King threatening me, Lord William black mailing me, my
uncle gambling away what’s left of our fortune, Theo set on our future no
matter what, and vicious social media sniffing around wanting me to fail, I
have to play the game. But secrets always seem to find a way of getting out,
and it’s not just betrayal from those I love the most that shatter my life. It’s
mine.

And the world wants to break what’s left of me.

Belong to You, Cole #1, Review, Vi Keeland

	April 4th 2013

My honeymoon was almost everything I dreamed it would be, a tropical paradise, turquoise water, romantic walks on the beach, and loads and loads of mind shattering sex. The only thing missing was the groom.

After seven years of coasting through a relationship with Michael, my senses were numb. A week of passion with a stranger was just what I needed to clear my head and take back control of my life. But how do you move on when the man that was only supposed to be a fling somehow seeps into your soul and steals your heart?

Review

Title : Embattled Seal

Author : J. M. Madden

Series : Lost and Found, #4

Rating : 4 Stars

Blurb : When Harper Preston finds himself flat in a hospital bed after a botched op, heâs okay with dealing with the fallout. If he dies, heâs lived well past his expiration date. The only people that will notice his passing are the guys he works with at Lost and Found Investigative Service. Then his estranged wife arrives. Cat Preston is thankful and horrified when sheâs called to her husbandâs side. Heâs been shot. Again. But now that sheâs found him sheâs going to make the most of the opportunity. If it were up to Harper, she would be out of his life completely because he thinks it’s the best thing for the family. With a little SEAL abduction (for his own good of course) maybe she can convince him otherwise…

Review : Lovers of the series (and I am counting myself to those) will find a worthy seamless continuing of the story we left in the last Book. But I was a little surprised that the storyline in this case really centered totally on the main characters – Cat and Harper. In other Books there was always a little more of an extra story of what is going on with the other Persons of the group. Thinking of differences I also found that Harper seemd “less rough” then before when we left him in the last book. And I was missing the “action” we found in the other books – there was just one small detail of that (which I will not spoiler) but…. it somehow seemed not worthy of Harpers skills I liked the interaction between Cat and Harper, you could sense the strong feelings and Cat is a very likeable and strong person. Also the way Harper discribes that he likes it if Cat takes charge as he has to be the one always leading in his job felt kind of sweet. The problems that kept Cat and Harper seperate felt believable and near as near to reality as possible for a novel.

I am looking forward to the next part of the story

Review

Title : Looking for Alaska

Author : John Green

Series : N/A

Rating : 2 Stars

Blurb :Miles “Pudge” Halter’s whole existence has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the “Great Perhaps” (FranÃ§ois Rabelais, poet) even more. He heads off to the sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed-up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.

Review :

I wasn’t really sure if I should publish a review on a book I gave 2 stars to. But then I thought that we promised to give honest, but still fair reviews which is what I am going to do right now. When some friends of mine recommended this book to me I was exited to see what story John Green has created after I have read “The Fault in our Stars”. So I started to read..

I started to read and couldn’t really identify with the characters at all which made it really difficult to read the story. There were moments while reading at which I thought “Ok, there it is! ” which at the end lightened up the story, but still didn’t made me say “OH YES, I want to know how it’s going on!”. The story the actual story wants to tell is awesome, without a doubt. I just really couldn’t connect with the way John Green tried to tell this story. There all this philosophical parts which really made me think -that’s the part I really liked. Even today, some days after I finished this book…. But at the end, I had to admit to myself that this book isn’t the right book for me at all.

Title : His Billion Dollar Dilemma

Author : Alexia Adams

Series :N/A

Rating : 4 Stars

Blurb :

Never judge a geek by her cover… Simon Lamont is an ice-cold corporate pirate. He buys companies, strips them of their assets, and moves on. With money. Lots and lots of money. But when he arrives in San Francisco to acquire a floundering company and is accosted by a cute engineer with fire in her eyes, it takes all Simon has to maintain his legendary cool. Helen Winston has mastered hiding behind geeky clothes and an obsessive dedication to her job. So whatâs with her desire for the arrogantâand sexy as sinâSimon Lamont? He may have only been wearing a towel when they met, but heâs planning to destroy her company, and Helen will do whatever it takes to change his mind. If that means becoming the sexy woman Simon didn’t know he wanted, so be it. If only she wasnât about to walk into her own trap…

Review :

I started this book with the thought to read a story which is kind of the same as the stories I already have read…a lot. There is this rich cold pirate who is succesful, unbelieveable good-looking and charming as hell. And then there is this strange-looking, humble, clumsy woman with an age of 30 who doesn’t even found out who she is. Not really a surprising combination. But then…Helen stormed like a hurricane into Simon’s hotel room and just “helened”(if you read the book you will find out) not only Simon, also me who was surprised how refreshing and different she is. On the outside, she as first not really appeares really self-confident, but with turning more and more pages, she also looses more and more of her doubts which let her flourish like a beautiful flower who finds her place next to Simon. The more time they spend in company, the more Simon changes as well.

To see how this two work-loving people enjoy their time together was so lovely, especially considering the issues Helen has because of her past. To see how Simon does everything possible to make her feel comfortable even when the only thing he wants to do is “attacking” her is an aspect which is underlined even more by the use of two different POV’s.

Even if there is a lot of “feel good content”, as a reader you are confronted with some some difficult situations which are ,in my opinion, even as important as the rest of the story.

The only thing they both first have had in mind was their jobs. Now after they found each other, the lines of their work-relationship blurres which influences the plot-change a lot….To see this change(before and after) , it would have been good to get to know a little bit more about their life before. No matter what, I love the protagonists. I just wished they would get more pages to tell their story which is why I rated this book with 4 Stars. I started to read this book 8pm sitting around the family-table. When at 11:30 pm everybody has left, I realised I just had left 10% which of course I had to read. Reading this book felt very natural.
