Review: Cross the Line (Boston Love, #2) by Julie Johnson

Cross the Line by Julie Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 and MORE FRACKING STARS ! Damn right. Julie, Julie, Julie. Her writing hand is just EXQUISITE. I FLOVE IT.

*** ARC provided kindly by the Author for an honest review ***

I’m clueless as how to write this, which took me eons to do by the way. My lord. The anticipation and the constant onslaught of emotions I went through finding out about this book, waiting for it, reading it and saying goodbye to it, it was just beyond words. Contemporary romance is my go-to read to be honest but it’s so rare to find something that leaves you emotionally raw. Julie simply has the power to make you feel the reflection of the words written and everything in between by being that more vulnerable, intense, raw and witty. The beauty of her art will seriously question other novels out there.

Nathaniel Knox is an enigma of a person. Julie has the power to be able to make her men sensitive, mysterious, hard-shelled, brooding and sexy at the same time. From, his introduction to the story, his stand-offish behaviour, his ‘ugly’ personality, to his masked off vulnerability, it was captivating. I can’t say I haven’t enjoyed Julie’s men because damn, I have. From Finn, to Sebastian, now Nate, the journey was simply revelled. Even though it’s from one POV, Julie makes you feel as if you’re reading from his POV as well, including that with the why’s, how’s and what’s, it is intensely beautiful which is what gets you hooked from the get go.

Phoebe West, god, this girl! Everything about her was just simply mesmerising. From the first page, her over active brain, to her sarcastic, independent attitude? It's just stunning, weirdly unique and awe-inspiring. I want her to be my best friend. This character ain't your everyday normal, she's saying stuff you're not meant to in a certain situations, she fights for her independence, she hides behind her smiles and sarcasm, she's loyal without a fault, she's vulnerable to a point where she can't take it esp her heart, she's tries to turn negatives into positives, she's insecure, unsure, lonely, selfless, beautiful, everything a woman is, and she's a piece of us. My heart broke, bled, stopped, beated again with her story – the ups and downs, everything.

There's a reason why I seriously love Julie's writing hand and it's simple. She makes you question every word, the in between, the feels that give off emotions, ins and outs of the box, God! It's tremendously natural. Unless you don't Cross the Line and pick up a copy and read, you won't understand every single word and why. Oh and I so love Tinkerbell - her and Parker please. That's a firework waiting to go off. Julie is a creator, for sure.

Review: Give Me Yesterday by K. Webster and Elle Christensen

Give Me Yesterday by K. Webster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Starting this book, both of these authors K Webster and Elle Christensen were completely new to me and I weren't at all familiar with their art. It was the cover that made me turn the page and boy, am I glad I did. I remember how the prologue made me cry, it was UGLY crying too. What authors have the power to make you cry from the FIRST words?! Not many, I'll tell you that. Gosh, my heart broke and I knew reading this book will be testing my emotions and damn was I right, so I was met with my gut wrenching, heart beating with brokenness and anticipation, sadness, understanding, lust, anger, tension, more heartbreak, joy, forgiveness, fervor, angst and a love and happiness all deserved.

Chase Monroe what a man! Having this book in duo POV really made it better. I got to feel his never-ending guilt and darkness which was really a mystery to me that eventually came to light towards the end and GOD! The revelations that took place, I just wanted to reach into the book and comfort him with all that he needed because my heart broke for him, though the circumstances tried to make him look guilty. It was overwhelmingly saddening to be honest. The one of many things I loved about him though, was his outgoing, consoling personality, how through his own demons tried to fight for Tori's sanity, yes, her sanity because what she went through, no woman should go through. Not only that but the way his character was developed, it was freaking alluring! I HATED for him how his past life was.. What woman in her right mind would leave Chase? His ex, that's who. Eurgh. Really got me annoyed that did. *sigh* but he was a fucking turn-on too with his dirty mouth, trying to right past mistakes and being Tori's shoulder to lean on. He can be my professor anytime, that's all I'm saying.

        

Victoria Larkin aka sassy ice-cold lawyer who needed thawing and who better than Chase himself? I loved him with all my being when he came into the story. Ahhh. My gut-wrenched, literally, my stomach hurt with how Tori's story was introduced, her pain and cold, standoff-ish personality I don't blame her for, how else was someone going to cope, if not turn off emotions? Yes there were ways to become better but no-one really tried to break her and repair her like Chase done and boy was I glad she let him be there. I feel like if I say too much about her, it'll ruin the book but it was awe-inspiring, truly, how she fought her emotions, forgave the person she needed and came out stronger than ever.

This book will forever be cherished and I thank Webster and Christensen for giving me such a raw, heartfelt book that you can’t help but feel every word spoken nor forget those who had to be sacrificed for the story to be created. Bless Ben and Sarah’s souls. I just never expected to feel the emotions that I felt. The secondary characters too made it that more alive. I definitely recommend this emotionally crippling book! You WILL get your yesterday back.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY!! Sudden Desires (Sweet Promises, #1) by Shanora Williams

Title: Sudden Desires

Series: Sweet Promises #1

Author: Shanora Williams

Genre: Romantic Erotica / Erotic Suspense/ Romantic Suspense

Published: October 30, 2015

Screw the ring. 

The good life. 

My selfish wife.

I have felt abandoned by her for years. Forgotten.

Belittled. 

Neglected.

Unloved....

But, all of that has changed. 

I've met an incredible woman. I didn't mean for anything to happen with her. We were only supposed to be doing business together. But that sassy mouth, fine ass, and those perky tits got to me. It was a spur of the moment thing - both of us blinded by lust. 

Is it bad to crave a woman so badly that you'll do practically anything to hold onto her? Like make sweet promises that you know damn well can't be kept?

Don't be fooled. This newfound "happiness" may only be a fucking façade, and what's worse is that I can't let it go. 

Not now. 

Probably not ever.

Why? Because there is only so much rejection a man can take before he finally just... gives into temptation.

Gah, so much twists and turns!”~ AdequateBookWhore

All I want is the best for Colette. All I want is for her to be happy. We were happy once. Why can’t we go back to that? 

My forehead drops on the marble wall of the shower. Water streams through my hair, down my chest and back. My face feels smothered with warmth, but it feels good. 

With my eyes squeezed tight, I try and imagine Colette and all her naked glory. The woman has a banging body. I imagine those perky pink nipples, her face when I finally get to ramming my cock deep inside her. Only… it doesn’t work this time.

As I pump I can’t feel myself getting hard enough because all I can hear are her negative words. All I can think of is how we truly are failing as a couple. All I can think about it the reason why… Angelina.

Blue eyes appear in my imagination, and I stroke harder. My cock hardens in my hands, the veins bulging as I imagine those aqua irises looking up at me while sucking me dry. Lapping her tongue around my balls, flicking it across my tip. I shudder as I start to reach the brink. My body locks, palm against the wall, and all I can hear is her calling me Mr. Boyd in that sweet little voice.

She wanted my cock so bad she could taste it, and I wanted a mouthful of her pussy so much I was almost willing to completely demolish my marriage to make that happen.

“Fuck,” I bite out, stroking faster, harder, until finally I explode in my hand, squirting all over the fucking shower wall. “Goddamn,” I groan, pressing the side of my face on the marble. God, it’s been so long since I’ve cum. So fucking long. I pant, breathing raggedly as I keep my eyes shut, still rubbing the head of my cock, releasing every drop of cum. 

I can’t believe myself, but it’s the pure imagination of Angelina who has just made me cum.

It’s her with her lips wrapped around the head of my cock, telling me to relax and to just enjoy the feel. The feel of her, right before she comes up to sit on top of my lap, allowing me to sink deep inside what I know is an eager, wet pussy.

COVER REVEAL! Full Domain by Kindle Alexander

Title: Full Domain

Series: Nice Guys Novel #3

Author: Kindle Alexander

Genre: M/M Romance

Release Date: Coming Soon

Honor, integrity, and loyalty are how Deputy US Marshal Kreed Sinacola lives his life. A former SEAL now employed by the Special Operations Group of the US Marshal Service, Kreed spent most of his life working covert operations and avoiding relationships. Never one to mix business with pleasure, his boundaries blur and his convictions are put to the test when he finally comes face-to-face with the hot computer geek he’s been partnered with. Hell-bent on closing the ongoing case for his longtime friend, he pushes past his own limits and uncovers more than he expects. 

 Aaron Stuart strives for one thing: justice. Young and full of idealism, his highly sought after computer skills land him a position with the National Security Agency. Aaron’s biggest hazard at his job is cramped fingers, but all that changes when he is drawn into the middle of a dangerous federal investigation. Aaron gets more than he bargained for when the FBI partners him with a handsome and tempting deputy US marshal. His attraction to the inked up, dark-haired man provides another kind of threat altogether. Aaron tries desperately to place a firewall around his heart and fight his developing feelings, knowing one misstep on his part could ultimately destroy him. 

The solution isn’t as easy as solving the case, which is treacherous enough as it is. But the growing sexual attraction between them threatens to derail more than just Kreed’s personal convictions as he quickly learns temptation and matters of the heart rarely fit easily into the rules he’s lived by. Will Kreed be able to convince Aaron to open his heart and face the fact that sometimes the answers aren’t always hidden in code?

Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.
