Resplendent Rush by Bella J (Cover Reveal)


Lexi is a vivacious, quirky, and fiercely independent woman with enough attitude and wit to intimidate even the most confident of men. Levi is a sexy-as-hell, cocksure, smoldering hot marine blessed with smooth swagger and cool confidence to charm his way into any woman’s bed. The one thing they have in common, though, is their disinterest in finding love. She’s determined to not let love interfere and dictate her life. And with his career, he doesn’t need the emotional ties and baggage of love, and dreams of white picket fences.

But a few chance encounters have these two tangled up in one wild, passionate, explosive ride which neither of them expected, and which leaves them completely and utterly addicted to each other. Already in too deep, Lexi stubbornly fights her growing feelings for him and refuses to become vulnerable against the power that love seems to yield. She has witnessed firsthand how loving someone can destroy a person, leaving him defenseless against a life of emotional turmoil. She refuses to let it happen to her.

Levi knows that Lexi is holding back. He knows that she is keeping a part of her heart guarded. He’s determined to burn down the walls she so desperately clings to, and make her surrender her all to him. But with his long-lost brother’s unexpected return comes an inexorable danger that he will do just about anything to protect her from—even if it means losing her, and in the end, breaking her heart.

Hey!  So not too long ago I reviewed Resplendent Ruin.  Now I am back with Resplendent Rush, which is the story of Lexi, Juliette's sister.  Lexi is a bit more wild and carefree, so I am definitely interested to see how this goes!!

When We Fall by Marquita Valentine (Review)

Title: When We Fall
Series: Take The Fall #2
Author: Marquita Valentine
Release Date: December 8, 2015 - Loveswept
Format: Ebook received for review
Pages: 202 Pages per Goodreads

The last time Piper Ross saw her best friend’s sexy older brother, Jase Simmons, he was being taken away in handcuffs. Seven years later, two things haven’t changed: Piper is still head-over-heels in love with him . . . and Forrestville’s chief of police—Piper’s dad—still hates his guts. So when Piper sees a chance to get close to Jase, she makes her move—literally. As his new roommate, and as the office manager of his tattoo shop, Piper won’t be satisfied until Jase knows that she wants to be his.

The quintessential good girl, Piper is pure temptation for Jase. The only reason he’s always kept his distance is because she’s the last person he’d ever want to hurt. But once he realizes that Piper is ready to take the leap, everything just makes sense. Suddenly Jase feels like a new man—until nasty rumors start swirling and Piper’s heartless father stirs up even more trouble. Now Jase must convince Piper that she wasn’t wrong about him . . . because falling in love never felt so right.

Ok, so when I read this book I didn't realize it was number two in a series.  In fact, I didn't realize til just now.  So if you have any questions about whether you can jump right in, the answer is yes.  If you have any questions about whether you should jump in, the answer is hell yes.

Thia is prim and proper.
Bear is leather and lawless.
It will never work between them.
It's a lie they almost believe...

It is necessary to first read King and Tyrant to fully enjoy Lawless.





Ok, first - let's all take a moment to admire this cover.  Go on, look.  Get an eyefull for a couple minutes.  I can't blame you, I've done the same thing over and over.  Oh my...

Caught For Christmas by Skye Warren (Review)

Title: Caught for Christmas
Series: Stripped 3.5
Author: Skye Warren
Release Date: December 7, 2015
Format: Ebook received for review
Pages: 93 pages per Amazon

I’ll be home for Christmas…

The plan is simple. Break into the club and steal the money I need to save my father. The ex-military bouncer isn’t going to stop me, even if he is hot as hell.

If only in my dreams…

Except he has a curious knack for knowing my next step.

And there’s something dark underneath his desire, something dangerous. If he catches me, he might not let me go.

As a personal general rule, I stay away from Christmas books.  I'm not even sure I have an exact reason, I just don't like to really get inundated with that seasonal...mush. However, this is Skye.  If anyone could make me like a Christmas romance, it's her.  So did I?
