Review: Dirty Curve

 

Title: Dirty Curve

Author: Meagan Brandy

Release Date: August 27

 

You know how in college there’s that one guy everyone wants to be?

That’s me. 

I’m the top dog. 

The number one. 

The big man on campus.

Some say those things are solid wins. 

My new tutor would disagree. 

My title means nothing to her. 

My status lost on her. 

And now my mind? That sucker is stuck on her. 

She was told to make our sessions priority over all, to drop everything when I need her, and come to me. She does.  

But I don’t want to steal her time anymore. 

I want to earn it. 

If anyone can do that, it’s me. 

I’m Tobias Cruz, the king of the curveball. I don’t lose. 

Not the game, and surely not the girl. 

Little did I know, this girl has a secret...and it’s the dirtiest curve yet. 

Omg you guys!!! 

If this book isn't on your the list, put it on there NOW. Bump it up. Make this your most anticipated read for the end of August/September. Seriously. You need to read the book the moment it releases. 

Tobias Cruz is the hotshot on campus, and rightfully so. The playboy pitcher, star player. The guy everyone wants. Everyone except his tutor that is. 

Tobias' status or title means nothing to Meyer. She has a job to do, and she was told to make Tobias her priority over everyone else. Drop everything and come when he calls. 

But the game has changed, and he doesn't want to steal her time anymore, he wants to earn it. And if anyone can do that it's Tobias. He doesn't lose. Not the game not the girl. He is the king of the curve ball on the field, but he doesn't see the one coming off. 

So, if you guys don't already know, I'm not usually a huge fan of sports romances. I can avoid them like the plague. So going in, I was on the fence about how well I would like the story, or the characters. I was hesitant, but I needn't have been. As always Meagan hits the story out of the park. 

It may have taken me a little longer then normal, but I fell for the story and the characters hard. Tobias was a god on and off the field. He lived and breathed baseball. He was cocky, and sure, and used to getting exactly what he wanted. But Meyer didn't fall at his feet. Didn't cave to his demands. She kept things strictly professional between them. Even when he wanted more she kept him at arm's length. There was more to her then she let on, and Tobias was determined to break her walls down and let him in. But Meyer's truth can derail Tobias' future, and her happiness. And she isn't ready to give that up. 

Meyer was strong. Fierce. Sassy. She was freaking perfect in every way. Even when she wasnt- it came from the right place. I fell in love with her and everything she been through. 

There was more to Tobias then meets the eye. He was the star player, lived and breathed baseball. The player on and off the field. So Meyer staying away makes sense. But his charm slowly wears her resolve down. And their story is fire. It's a slow-burn angsty goodness filled with emotion, and heart. I cried, I laughed, I swooned and I even enjoyed reading about the sport and learning everything there was to know about Tobias and Meyer. It was an amazing story, that I had the pleasure of reading. Yes it is a sports romance but it is sooo much more. 5 home run ⭐ out of 5⭐.

Review: Cross

 

Title: Cross

Series: the Dark Kings

Author: Shantel Tessier

Release Date: August 20

🔥𝗕𝗟𝗨𝗥𝗕🔥

𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗦

Have you ever stood next to a fire and felt the heat of it on your skin? Stared into the flames and thought how amazing it would be to be that free? It changes direction with the wind, destroying everything in its wake. 

That's what she felt like.

Alexa was a wildfire that torched everything she touched, and I couldn't wait to be consumed by her.

She was off-limits. Even though I promised to stay away, I couldn't resist. She was the spark I had been missing in my life. The fire I craved. 

I knew from an early age I was destined to burn in hell, but she was born to walk through fire. 

𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗫𝗔

I was single-minded, focused, and independent. Just how my mother raised me. I didn't have time for anything other than myself and work. 

Funny how everything can change in an instant when you least expect it. 

A King entered my life. What was supposed to be one night ended up being too many to count. 

He was afraid that I'd see his darkness, but I couldn't get enough of him. 

After all, a fire burns the brightest in the dark of night. And it only takes one match to cause total devastation.

Wow wow wow!

So I spent the past few days rereading Titan & Grave to get back into the World of the Dark Kings and I can't believe I forgot how much I love it all. 

Seriously, if you are looking for some dark romance books make sure to grab Code of Silence & the Dark Kings books today! And don't forget to grab Cross later this week! (Currently their is issue with preorders thanks to amazon but hopefully it will be fixed soon enough!)

Cross follows Cross one of the Dark Kings who own Kingdom. He was conditioned and groomed to be an owner of Kingdom and all that it entails- which is more than just the Casino and hotel in the middle of Vegas.

But when Alexa walks into his life, she lit his whole world aflame. She may have been off limits, but she consumed him like wildfire. 

Alexa was raised to be independent and focused, not having time for anything besides work. But you have the best laid plans out, and things can change in an instant. Which is what happened when Cross walked into her life. What should have been just one night ended up in them not getting enough of each other. But will Alexa stay once she sees how dark Cross really is?

I honestly love the Dark Kings, the darkness of their world, and couldn't wait to read this book. Cross was definitely mysterious and I was excited to find out more about him (plus this cover was HAWT!!) I loved getting inside his head, to see him for who he was, and to see his queen, and their dynamic. Cross may have had a tough childhood, being through what he had, so he needed someone who can stand beside him. Someone who was not only strong enough to see him for who he is but also what he had been through and be there for him. He needed his own Queen- and that is what Alexa became. I loved them together. If you are looking for a new dark romance, that will set your kindle on fire this is it! 5⭐ out of 5⭐.

Review: Kate

 

Title: Kate

Series: Madison Kate

Author: Tate James

Release Date: October 2020

Madison Kate is a new adult/college age dark romance with enemies to lovers/hate to love themes. This is a reverse harem series, meaning the leading lady has several love interests and she doesn't have to choose between them for her happily ever after. If this isn't your cup of tea, then this isn't the series for you. ♥

KATE is book 4 of 4 in the MADISON KATE series. The blurb below may contain spoilers for previous books, and I urge you not to read it until you've finished HATE, LIAR and FAKE. 

◆◆◆

“I never miss.”

Riot Night changed my life.

Coming back to Shadow Grove turned it on its head. 

I’ve been hunted, stabbed, stalked, tormented, and used. Hate fueled me, lies tore me apart, and in the end everything I thought I knew turned out to be fake.

Except… Riot Night also brought Archer, Kody, and Steele back into my life. No matter how much I’ve fought it, hated it, been lied to or discovered the deceptions—I want them in my life.

No one owns me.

No one is taking them away.

This is my life, dammit, and these guys are mine to keep. 

If a war is what it takes, then a war is what they'll get.

Wowie on a popsicle stick!

I absolutely loved these books!

Madison Kate want just some rich victim anymore. Wasn't just the princess of Shadow Grove either, now she was the queen, who could hold her ownagainst everyone who has done her wrong. Against Archer, Steele, and Kody. With them in her life, and on her side she can face of against anything. 

I seriously loved these books, these stories and these characters. There was more going on then originally met the eye in the beginning. They were a dark and delicious RH with three incredible guys. Love, sex, danger? What more could someone need. These stories were gripping from beginning to end. 5⭐ out of 5⭐. 

Review: Fake

 

Title: Fake

Series: Madison Kate

Author: Tate James

Release Date: August 2020

“You’ll always be mine.” 

The latest taunt from my stalker reminded me I was nothing more than a possession to my father, to the Reapers, to Archer D’Ath. Even to Kody and Steele. Princess Danvers—the prize.

His wife.

Archer D’Ath’s wife.

I hate them. They lied to me. Over and over again. I knew they were lying, and I hate myself for letting it happen. For believing in the fake relationships I want so desperately to be real.

Fake.

It’s all fucking fake. My stalker won’t let me go. None of them will. Archer and his boys think they control me. My stalker wants to possess me. I’m not an idiot, I know my newest allies are using me too.

That’s fine.

I’ll use all of them. I’ll use them to take back what’s mine.

My life. My freedom. My name.

No one owns Madison Kate Danvers.

Oh my god, I'm freaking out, Batman! I'm not ok. 

Madison Kate may have finally had her boys right where she wanted them... They were finally starting to be more forth-coming with her and at least trying to make things right. If only there wasn't outside circumstances at work threatening to make her life hell. 

Archer, Steele and Kody have been keeping secrets, but when it is to protect Madison, can anyone really blame them?

The secrets and lies have finally come out, and now the guys were trying to do right by Madison. If only it was so easy. 

Madison is now stronger then the guys have her credit for. But the guys are still overprotective alphas in everything- and who could blame them? 

I honestly don't know what else to say. My mind keeps replaying the ending of this book that slayed me. I'm a ball of anxiety and emotions right now. I seriously think my heart stopped. I need the next book... Immediately. I need... I need answers but I'm also afraid of what I will find out. I'm a mess. I can safely say that I fell for these characters, and I love these books even though they will be the death of me. 5⭐ out of 5⭐

Review: Liar

 

Title: Liar

Series: Madison Kate

Author: Tate James

Release Date: June 2020

“Liar, liar, pants on fire.”

The words scrawled on the back of my newest stalker mail makes my blood run cold. I have no idea if it's the lie I know, or one that I don't.

Since arriving back into Shadow Grove, I've been stalked, tormented, chased and almost killed. I've been lied to, repeatedly, by people I was growing to trust.

Liar.

That word haunts me. Someone knows more about my life than I do. Someone is taunting me with answers and teasing me with secrets. Am I desperate enough to fall for more deception?

Archer and his boys made a huge mistake when they lied to me. They thought they could play me but they're about to learn that they've met their match. No one stabs Madison Kate and gets away with it.

Wow!

I'm at a loss for words and have no idea what to even say...

After Halloween night and how Madison left the boys, she has serious questions, but ones she isn't getting answers to. Things begin to escalate- not just with everything she had been dealing with, but with Archer, Steele, and Kody as well. Now she has to figure out if she trusts them to keep her safe, or if they may be behind everything that is going on. They are keeping something from her, and she won't stop until she gets answers. 

I am seriously blown away, yet again. I am loving this story and these characters. 

Madison isn't taking anything just lying down, she gives as good as she gets, despite the dangers she is in. 

The boys are still keeping her in the dark, about everything, but things begin to shift between them all. Madison hasn't forgotten anything, but she has started to look past it, at least for now, as she is in forced proximity with at least one of the guys all the time. But they can't hide their secrets forever and Madison will find out. 

I absolutely love Steele, Kody and Archer. And I cannot wait to dive into the next book- to see what happens next, not only in this story but with and between these characters. 5⭐ out of 5⭐. 

Review: Hate

 

Title: Hate

Series: Madison Kate

Author: Tate James

Release Date: April 2020

“Madison Kate Danvers was murdered tonight.”

Those words changed my life, and not for the better.
They were wrong, of course. I wasn’t dead. But I was set up.
After being charged with a string of offences--and made an example of by my political minded father--I’m eventually released back into Shadow Grove with one thing on my mind.
Hate.
Someone is going to pay for derailing my carefully laid out future. Someone is going to catch the full force of my hate. How very convenient that someone just moved into the bedroom down the hall from me.
Archer D’Ath and his boys messed with the wrong chick and they’re about to learn just how cold Madison Kate’s hate can run.

HATE is a full length mature college/new adult romance with enemies-to-lovers/love-hate themes. This is a reverse harem novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This is book one of four in the series.

Wow!

This is my first Tate James book, and I went in blind, not knowing what to expect. And let me just say... Wooooow!!!

Madison Kate may have been at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and landed herself in trouble, not just with the gangs in her town, but with the law as well. 

On the night of her alleged murder, she was thrown in jail, and upending her whole life, making it the second worse night of her life. All thanks to three unnamed men.

Eleven months later, she back only to find, those same three guys who ruined her life, in her house thanks to her father. Steele, Archer, and Kody, the three guys she hates most, now invading her space and thinking they have a right to boss her around. But Madison isn't a push over and she doesn't take kindly to the guys in her space. 

Honestly, I didn't know what I was getting into when I picked up this book- but I loved it. 

Madison Kate was strong and bad*ss. She didn't take being pushed around, or the three stubborn a**holes that now resided in her life. She may have been through a hell of a lot in her life, bit she didn't let it break her. 

There was more to Steele, Archer and Kody then Madison had any idea of. This book Madison started off hating the three guys who starred in the second worse night of her life, but being in such close proximity she started feeling more than just hate. With so much going on, and learning a little about each of the guys, she began lowering her defenses around them. But could she really trust them after that fateful night?

Honestly, I loved this book, and cannot wait to jump into book two to find out what happens next in this story and with these characters, because holy hell batman stuff is about to go down! 5⭐ out of 5⭐

Review: the Sainthood

 

Title: The Sainthood

Series: The Sainthood of Lowell High complete series

Author: Siobhan Davis

Release Date: November 2020

A complete dark romance trilogy from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis. Contains an EXCLUSIVE BONUS NOVELLA set twelve years after the end of Reign.

Everything changed the night my dad died.

The night I met Saint, Galen, Caz, and Theo.

Those manipulative a-holes set out to ruin me after our hot night together, but they didn’t realize you can’t destroy something that’s already broken. And it only works if the victim cares.

Which I don’t.

Because I’ve been in hell for years, and nothing penetrates the steel walls I’ve erected.

Until The Sainthood decides I belong to them and cracks appear in my veneer. Their cruel games, harsh words, and rough touch awakens something inside me, and now, I’m in trouble.

They draw me deeper into their dangerous world, until I’m in the middle of all the violence and gang warfare, tangled up in all the secrets and lies, and there’s no turning back.

Because they own me.

And nothing has ever felt so right.

I’m exactly where I should be.

But with enemies on all sides, survival becomes a deadly game with no guarantees.

And, sometimes, saints become sinners.

Oh my goodness!!

I finished book 1 of the Sainthood & have no idea where to go from here besides to immediately pick up book 2. I need answers. Need more from these characters & to figure out what the heck is going on!

In book one, you meet Harlow, & some of the characters from the Sainthood- including Sinner, Saint, Caz, Galen, and Theo. You learn a little of Harlow's past, but everyone is keeping secrets and no one trusts one another- for obvious reasons. There is no way Harlow can go up against the entire Sainthood alone- but she is in the midst of planning something, and it appears the Sainthood is also planning on making a move- who will come out victorious and who will crumble? 

If you haven't read Siobhan's books before, they always tend to leave you guessing and putting the pieces together along side the characters. You don't ever see the full picture until she presents it to you. And this is no different. Filled with angst, drama, sexual tension and secrets you don't know which way is up let alone what to trust or believe. 4⭐ out of 5⭐. That ending slayed me and I need answers! 

Wow wow wow!

After the betrayal, Harlow & the guys have agreed no more secrets. They have spent the time trying to repair their relationships, along with keeping Harlow safe. But they aren't the only ones with secrets, and now they are diving head first into things that are much more than any of them bargained for, and trying to uncover the mysteries of their pasts while trying to get through all the obstacles that are in their way. 

I loved getting a look into some of the guys POV's along with their relationship & dynamics progressing in this book, and cannot wait to find out more in the last book and figure out what is going on, and how they overcome everything in their way. 4⭐ out of 5⭐ 

Wow!

I don't even know what to say. That ending was... Wow. 

There was so much more going on than we even knew, more secrets and lies wrapped up as we dug deeper into the Sainthood, and the gang war where one wrong move could result in death, Harlow and her men try to navigate everything thrown at them, not knowing who they could trust, they also have to navigate their new found relationship with each other so they don't implode on themselves. Will the saints break with the revelations they learn or will they finally take down their enemies for good? I enjoyed every crazy second of this story- and the relationship between Harlow & her men. Action, danger, love and loads of sex, what more could a girl ask for? 4⭐ out of 5⭐
