REVIEW – EMPIRE (Cartel #3) by Lili St. Germain

December 15, 2016December 15, 2016Leave a comment

SYNOPSIS:

The breathtaking finale to the USA Today bestselling Cartel trilogy.

I should have known it would always come down to this, from the very moment I laid eyes on him in that motel.

I should have known his salvation was too good to be true.

Because it’s all gone now, the impossible, secret love I had for him bleeding away in the darkness that came afterwards.

Now there’s only hate.

Now I just want to escape.

Even if it means I have to kill him to be free.

Before the Gypsy Brothers series there was the Cartel – from USA Today bestselling author Lili St Germain.

FIVE ELECTRIFYING STARS*****

(ARC kindly provided by author in exchange for an honest review)

I’m sweating, I’m panting, my heart feels like it’s beating out of my chest. Empire was the perfect ending for this thrilling trilogy, and the perfect set up for the reader to get excited about the Gypsy Brothers books. I can’t wait to read every single book… so here I come!!!!

On this third and last book of the Cartel trilogy, Mariana finally has an escape plan in place. It is getting harder, and harder for her to keep pretenses in front of those who are always following her. She’s already lost so much, but inside her shattered heart there is still a place for love, and she is planning to protect it, no matter what.

Dornan is not who he used to be, he’s no longer the man who saved her ten years ago from that filthy hotel room when her life was in jeopardy. Mariana’s dream for the past decade has been to be able to be by Dornan’s side in front of the world, without having to hide any longer, but now that it seems that this dream might come true, why does it feel more like a nightmare to her?

Friendships that no longer have trust will end bloody, dangerous alliances will form, and the ranks inside The Gypsy Brothers MC will shift. A cruel war is on the horizon and nobody’s future is safe.

In Empire, the angst was through the roof, and all the unexpected turns, kept the plot so entertaining, that I’m sure I’ll have severe book hangover for days. These books were skillfully written and designed to keep the reader guessing, wanting, and parched for more.

One more thing I have to say about these thrilling stories is that together they make a seriously sizzling series. So hot I almost dropped my kindle because it felt like it was burning.

A MUST READ SERIES!!!!!!!!

REVIEW – KINGPIN (Cartel #2) by Lili St. Germain

December 15, 2016December 15, 2016Leave a comment

SYNOPSIS:

The second scorching novel in the USA Today bestselling Cartel trilogy from the smash-hit author Lili St Germain.

They say love conquers all.

It’s a lie.

Five days a week, I dressed in smart business clothes. I painted my face, and went to work as an accountant. But nothing about my life was normal.

For eight years I had been the property of the Gypsy Brothers Motorcycle Club. I laundered their money so well they’d never let me leave. My only glimmer of light was the man I loved. The man who had saved me.

Dornan.

His love had been the only thing that kept the demons at bay. But he’d become so immersed in the cartel’s brutal business that I hardly knew him anymore.

Dornan had been my salvation, but he was also my undoing.

Would he pull me down into the darkness until he destroyed me? Could I save him?

Did I even want to?

SYNOPSIS:

The first full length Gypsy Brothers novel from the smash hit author Lili St. Germain.

How much is a life worth?

I grew up in Colombia, the daughter of a wealthy drug lord. I lived a life of extravagance, until one day a drug run went horribly wrong and everything came crashing down around us.

I was given away. A payment for a debt. The Gypsy Brothers Motorcycle Club became my new owners, and I did everything I could to survive.

But falling in love with the man who owned me wasn’t part of the plan…

*****Dee’s Review*****

FIVE THRILLING STARS*****

(ARC kindly provided by the author in exchange for an honest review)

Fire burning plot, complex characters, and a decadent writing style. This book is the perfect start to a fiery trilogy that promises and delivers pure thrill. Loved it!!!

Mariana is a nineteen-year-old Colombian girl, whose father works for the most powerful drug Cartel in the world. She grew up in the throes of violence, guns, and despair. Her father, a drunk with a gambling problem has gone too far this time, messing up with the big bosses of the Cartel, and Mariana had to step up and pay for her father’s sins with her freedom, in order to save her family.

She’s been taken from Colombia with the purpose to be sold as a sex slave in the U.S, and she’s been delivered to the VP, of the dangerous Motorcycle Club, The Gypsy Brothers. Dornan, the VP of the MC Club, who also happens to be the Cartel’s drug lord’s son, is in charge of getting Mariana ready to meet her terrible destiny.

Dornan is a dangerous man; just like his father he has a lot of darkness lurking inside him. But something about the Colombian beauty has him mesmerized and acting in unlikely ways. He will be the monster who will save Mariana from being sold into sexual slavery, but at what price?

I read this book from cover to cover in one day. The excitement and the darkness of the romance kept me on the edge of my seat, and unable to do, or think about anything else, other than this story.
Lili St. Germain has created a gritty and wicked MC theme story that is totally addictive. I am now forever hooked to her writing style, and I’m very excited to read more.

REVIEW – NAUGHTY BOSS by Whitney G

December 15, 2016December 20, 2016Leave a comment

SYNOPSIS:

A steamy, office-romance novella from New York Times bestselling author, Whitney G…

He definitely wasn’t supposed to get that email…

Subject: My Boss.

Have I already told you that I hate my boss today?

Sexy as hell or not, this pompous, arrogant, ASSHOLE asked me to pick up his dry cleaning the second I walked through the door. Then he told me that I needed to take his Jaguar to a car wash that was ten miles outside of the city, but only after I needed to stand in a never-ending line to buy some type of limited, hundred-dollar watch.

I honestly can’t wait to see the look on his face two months from now when I tell him that I’m quitting his company and that he can kiss my ass. KISS. MY. ASS.

All those former fantasies about him kissing me with his “mouth of perfection” or bending me over my desk and filling me with his cock are long over. OVER.

Your bestie,
Mya

PS–Please tell me your day is going better than mine…

Subject: Re: My Boss.

No, you haven’t already told me that you hate your “boss” today, but seeing as though you’ve sent me this email directly, I know now…

Yes, I did ask you to pick up my dry cleaning the second you arrived to work to day. (Where is it?) And I did tell you to take my Jaguar to the car wash and pick up my thousand-dollar watch. (Thank you for taking five hours to do something that could be accomplished in two.)

You don’t have to wait two months from now to see the look on my face when you tell me you’re quitting. I’m standing outside your office at this very moment. ( Open the door. )

No comment on your “fantasies,” although I highly doubt they’re “long over.”

Your boss,
Michael

PS—Yes. My day is definitely going far better than yours…

*****Mel’s Review*****

4.5 Stars!
(ARC provided by author)

Michael Leighton is the CEO of Leighton Publishing in Manhattan, New York. He’s a rich playboy known for his scandalous hookups and the tabloids call him the “Naughty CEO.” Michael can’t keep an assistant. Nobody lasts, & his advisor wants him to find a new assistant that will last more than a year. He promises he will clean up his image for the company, & tone down his public womanizing ways.

Mya London starts a new job as the executive assistant for Michael Leighton. She’s fully aware of his reputation as a ladies man, & soon learns he’s also an egotistical, arrogant jerk obsessed with time. He’s controlling & infuriates her. When she accidentally sends him an email meant for her best friend mentioning how she hates her boss, but also fantasizes about him, she’s absolutely mortified.

-It was quite apparent that she “hated” me and I almost regretted taking out my sexual frustration on her by demanding so much. Almost.

-Her mind was damn near as naughty as mine when it came to sex, and it was slightly gratifying to know that the attraction wasn’t one-sided, even if there was little I could do about it. I’d never mixed business with pleasure before, and I wasn’t going to start now.

Once the both realize the attraction is mutual it isn’t long before the sexual tension between them explodes. The sex is incredible & they can’t get enough of each other, I loved this short sexy office romance novella. Another fabulous book by Whitney G.!

-He kissed me until I was breathless.

-I begged him for mercy, but he continued to torture me with pleasure.

-I couldn’t help but think that s part of this felt right. That when he wasn’t being my boss- even for a split second, he was more than likable.

*****Dee’s Review*****

FIVE NAUGHTY STARS*****

(ARC kindly provided by the author in exchange for an honest review)

This office romance novella is packed with delicious heat and utter fun. I loved it!!!!

Mya London has landed a fabulous job. Great pay, amazing benefits, and a hotter than hell boss, yet she is dying to quit. Why? You ask… because her boss is as hot as he is mean and arrogant. The man is just insufferable.

Michael Laughton is tired of inept assistants, he needs somebody who’s smart, organized and can put up with his fast pace routine. He’s found the perfect assistant after having fired eight, she is Mya London.

These two are completely attracted to each other, but they are totally professional about keeping their feelings under wraps. Michael has tried to keep his distance with a stuck-up and dominating personality around Mya, and she is almost to the breaking point. She fantasizes on a daily basis about different ways of murdering him, and different positions that he could pleasure her.

Will Michael and Mya break, and finally give into their sexual desires, or will Mya simply quit but not before murdering her boss?

Read this entertaining story and find out! I highly recommend it.

*****Patty’s Review*****

Fans of Whitney G. are going to absolutely enjoy this super sexy novella. I found it to be reminiscent of the Reasonable Doubt series and Beautiful Bastard. Our Hero, Michael Leighton, is the super sexy CEO of Leighton publishing and New York City’s most eligible bachelor whose crazy sex life always winds up as the top “Page Six” headliner. Michael has been ordered by his business partner to keep it in his pants for at least a year and stay out of the Page Six headlines while they try to go public with their corporation. In the meantime, he asks his friend to help hire a new personal assistant for him as he’s gone through at least eight in the past six months.

Mya London thinks she has landed her dream job working for the super notorious bad boy, Michael Leighton. The job turns out being not what it was all cracked up to be. A year later she is calling her boss every curse word imaginable. He is her worst nightmare who seems to get pleasure out of making her do the most menial tasks and forcing her to work late almost every evening. Mya sends her bestie constant email updates on all of her horrible boss’s evil doings but after one particularly horrendous day at work she sends a scathing and scandalous email regarding her sexual fantasies about him to her friend, or so she thought. The email to Mya’s utter dismay actually ended up getting sent to Michael instead. And now the story gets seriously naughty and oh so entertaining.

It becomes a battle of wills when both Mya and Michael confess to their secret sexual fantasies and it’s only a matter of time before boardroom talk turns into pillow talk. Will the two be able to get over their petty office bickering and is it pure lust or something deeper that is developing between Mya and Michael?

This novella is a pretty fast read and I can’t say that I wasn’t thoroughly entertained. I enjoyed it so much and I got a bit greedy because I wanted more of Michael and Mya. That’s the only reason I didn’t give this a solid five stars!

NAUGHTY BOSS is currently available. Be sure to one-click on this fab novella! You will not be disappointed.

About the Author

CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up she’s at the well hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.

She’s frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn’t ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

We all have one.

A price.

That magic number that will get us to agree to do anything, be anything.

Don’t sit on your gold-plated high horse and say you don’t because you do. Everyone does. Each of us has something we covet enough that we’d sell ourselves to have it.

What’s my tipping point, you ask? Apparently a cool quarter mil will do the trick.

What does one do for 250 large, you wonder? Anything the infamous, gorgeous playboy of Seattle wants. For the next four months I’ll be Shaw Mercer’s arm candy, his beck and call girl, his faux girlfriend. I’ll be his to command, mold, push and pull in any direction he sees fit.

I’ll fight falling into bed with him. I’ll fight falling in love with him even harder. I’ll fail at both. And when my past and present collide in the most unexpected of ways, I’ll learn that while one man’s love for me has never died, the only man’s love I really want will never be mine.

REVIEW – CHECKMATE: THIS IS LOVE (The Checkmate Duet #2) by Kennedy Fox

December 13, 2016December 12, 2016Leave a comment

SYNOPSIS:

Viola Fisher is the epitome of perfection.
She despises my one-night stands and mocks my less-than-classy habits.
She’s smart, beautiful, and too good to be true.
And I want her.

If she were anyone else, I’d have made my move years ago, but considering she’s my best friend’s little sister, she’s always been off-limits. Not to mention how much she loathes my very existence.

Hating me is her religion, but needing her is mine. Her sexy curves and filthy smart mouth make me want her even more, and I’m more determined than ever to change her mind.

I’ll prove I’m done playing games.
But until then, we’ll continue to play by her rules.
Viola Fisher may have won the battle, but the war isn’t over yet.

Checkmate, princess.

*****Mel’s Review*****

4.5 Travis King Was Always Meant To Be Mine Stars
(ARC provided by authors)

Travis King & Viola Fisher had a complicated relationship in the last book. They grew up best friends & have loved each other since they were children, but a misunderstanding tore them apart. They had serious sexual tension & enjoyed flinging insults while Viola spent her spring break living with Travis & her brother Drew. Passion ignited and they shared some seriously hot hate sex that eventually turned into more. Then Travis was put in a questionable position & Viola was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt & not jump to conclusions. If they are going to be together, Viola has to learn to trust Travis & believe he’s no longer the manwhore he once was.

Travis is done playing games. Viola is the girl of his dreams, & he wants a future with her. He’ll do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn’t ever lose her again. He’s all in & ready to prove himself to the woman he loves. He doesn’t want anyone else & makes his feelings clear to Viola.

-Travis is my drug, and when I’m getting my fix, it’s hard to concentrate on anything at all.

-Viola Fisher has always been mine, and finally being together is the endgame.

-When she looks into my eyes I know there’s no other woman in the world that can make me feel this way.

-“Viola owns my heart, and I’m pretty sure she always has.”

I loved this series so much! This couple started out loathing the sight of each other to totally being obsessed with one another. Since Viola is Travis’s best friends little sister, she’s always been off limits. They struggle with going public about being a couple, & Travis is seriously swoony in this book. The playboy willingly surrenders his heart & ego and falls deeply in love. I can’t wait for Drew & Courtney’s book next!
