Review: Incorrigible

 

Title: Incorrigible

Series: Slumming It

Author: S.M. Shade

Release Date: December 12

What have I done?

Everything was going so well. I have a job that I adore and I just earned my degree in library science.

I also have the best friends a girl could want, who weren't about to let my graduation pass without a celebration.

It's not their fault. They couldn't have guessed how it would turn out. If I can help it, they'll never know all those drinks lead to Marty's satisfied face smiling down at me in his bed the next morning.

My concern when we decided to share this apartment with the guys was that we'd be dealing with a steady stream of women running through Marty's bedroom, not that I'd be one of them.

The idea is laughable. Yes, he's good looking. Tall and muscular with golden brown skin from working out in the sun every day. It isn't hard to understand why women fall at his feet when they see him. But I know him.

This is the same guy who never misses a chance to take his shirt off to flex around women and once asked his Alexa to call him Daddy.

It's safe to say nothing will ever happen between us again.

When Zara wakes up from a hangover after a celebration, she finds her self in bed with Marty. Of all the outcomes she could have predicted, this was not one of them. And she vows it won't happen again- because just friends is all they could ever be. But Marty wants more than just one night with Zara. But how can he convince her that he isn't the same guy he was? 

I love S.M. Shade's books & Incorrigible is no different. Slumming it is a light, funny series, that is a spin off of her Violent Circle series, and each book can be read in a few hours. They always make me laugh out loud and I enjoy the characters & the banter and crazy shenanigans that the characters on Violent Circle get up to. If you are looking for a cute and fun book, then definitely look no further then Incorrigible. 4.5 ⭐ out of 5⭐.

Review: The Dark Of You

 

Title: The Dark of You

Author: S.M. Shade

Release Date: June 30th

He stalked me.

He broke my peace, and I embraced the noise.

He tore apart all I believed about myself, and I reveled in the chaos.

He brought me back to life. 

His promise remains with me, even now.

Wherever you are, I am.

Oh my god. I'm at a complete loss for words and don't even know what to say after finishing this book. 

Darcy is a famous writer, living in the middle of no where when she realizes she is being stalked. She has no idea who this man is, who lurks in the shadows, out of sight, but she isn't afraid. Instead it makes her feel alive. And with bringing her back to life, headed a promise. Wherever you are, I am. 

Holy Toledo's Batman. This book had my heart pumping. If you don't mind books that push you out of your comfort zone, then definitely check this one out. It was dark, and a little twisted, but oh so good!  It will keep you on the edge of your seat, and make you wonder what the heck you just read. I don't want to spoil anything or give anything away, but this was an amazing read. 4.5 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐. 

Trigger Warning: Stalker, death.

OVERACHIEVER

By S.M. Shade

Release Date: January 28

It started with a summer job and a ridiculous sex dream.

If you were to ask my friends to describe me, they’d tell you I’m an ambitious person. Responsible, driven, and focused on my goals. Words like stubborn and uptight would probably get thrown in there too. I’m not sure about that, but I know who I’m not.

I’m not the woman who lets a guy derail me from my plans. Watching others make that mistake has taught me well. No serious dating. No relationship until I’m successfully settled into my career. That’s the promise I made to myself and I’m determined to keep it.

Despite being an excellent student, there’s one lesson I fear I’ve learned too late. Funny men aren’t as harmless as they seem and should be avoided at all times. They sneak in under your radar and end up under your skirt. One second you’re laughing. The next you’re hunting for your underwear on a hotel room floor. Believe me, it’s not worth it.

If only my heart would stop screaming louder than my brain, I might be able to believe that Owen falls into that category. He’s my friend, but every day we spend together in this hotel, or working on our summer job building houses for charity, the harder it gets to convince myself we shouldn’t be more.

Years of diligence, and I’m being destroyed by a goofy smile.

Remee is responsible, driven, and stubborn. So when she starts her new summer job to help gain her credits for school, it's no surprise she plans to make the most of it. 

Owen is sweet, funny, and easy going. And definitely not the worse choice for a summer fling. Friends, co-workers and temporary roommates, what is the worst that can happen?

Honestly, I loved this book. It made me snort with laughter multiple times. It was exactly what I needed to wind down for the week, and I devoured it in a few hours. 

This book was funny with it's sweet moments and light hearted and helped me escape for a few hours. It was great being back in violent Circle and enjoying the crazy once again. 5 ⭐ out of 5⭐. 

Ps- to my fiance who was judging my humor. Shut up, it was funny. Unlike the meme you showed me earlier... 🙄😂😂 Unsuspecting guy grabbing a dildo? Hilarious. Joke about guy drinking brake fluid and can stop whenever he wants... Also funny but not as funny. Ok carry on. 😂😂😂

Review: Rock Star, Unbroken

Title: Rock Star, Unbroken
Series: Tragic Duet
Author: SM Shade
Release Date: January 23

I knew better and I let it happen anyway.
I was drawn in by her kindness and the way she sees into people. The way she looks through their motivations, their fears, into the heart of them where the good waits. One glance and she’s stripped away the layers we wrap ourselves in to keep from being unique.
She saw into me.
Then used it to her advantage.
Now, my son is in danger and if she’s behind it, there won’t be a hole deep enough for her to hide in.
I broke my own rules for Naomi.
My son will not pay the price.

Oh My Goodness!!! I read and LOVED Rock Star, Interrupted and I needed to know what happened next, and was dying to get Rock Star, Unbroken. Let me tell you SM Shade did NOT disappoint!

You NEED to read RSI first bc RSU continues the story.

Axton was a rising rock star, when his son came into the picture. He knew better to trust an outsider- Naomi, but he did it anyway, with more than just his son, but his heart as well. He broke his own rules for her, and now his son is in danger- and Axton is left without answers.

I LOVE LOVE LOVED Axton, Naomi and Caden!! 😍😍😍 The chemistry between Axton and Naomi, the love that Axton had for Caden, and Naomi had for Caden. The struggle and balance between each of the characters, and individually. I fell in love with the characters in book one, and love seeing how their story progressed into book two. If you love rock star romances or single dad & nanny romances then you need to grab these books! 4.5 rock ⭐ out of 5⭐.

About Zero F*cks

Title: Zero F*cks, Violent Circle Book 4

Series: Violent Circle

Author: S.M. Shade

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Publication Date: February 27th, 2019

Synopsis

Mr. Rogers did not prepare me for the people in my neighborhood. A cut in financial aid for college and a lot of bad luck have landed me not only on Violent Circle, but in the apartment known as Frat Hell.

I can handle myself, so living with three guys isn’t a problem. Even the madhouse disguised as a low income neighborhood isn’t an issue. The trouble is Denton, the man with the mischievous grin in the room across from mine.

I can resist the lean, muscled body. I’m stronger than the quick smile and adorable dimple. But his kindness, that may be the straw that breaks the vagina’s crack.

I just need to keep my head down and my legs together while I focus on making my dream of owning my own tattoo shop a reality.

*This is book four in a series, but can be read as a standalone novel. Book one is Scarlet Toys, which is Free.

A cut in Becca's financial aid, has her answering an ad for an available room. Only problem is, it's Frat Hell on Violent Circle. Becca isn't left with any other options besides homelessness so she moves in- but wasn't expecting the crazy that comes with living on Violent Circle. Or the people. Including her new roommate Denton. But despite how much she is attracted to his humor, and charm. She can't go there. She won't. If things go south, they are stuck living together without any other options. It shouldn't be too hard, right?

Review: Veracity

Title: Veracity
Series: the Jilted Series
Author: S.M. Shade
Release Date: Dec 16

May contain spoilers. Veracity is book two in the Jilted series, and you have to read Duplicity first.


Blurb:

This isn’t the life I want.
Trapped in one random hotel room after another by a screaming crowd of fans and paparazzi. No friends or family nearby. Nothing that really makes me happy, except my music.
Music is my only love, the only thing that makes my heart beat fast and my blood run hot, until her. Kinley Matthews, the owner of the Foxhaven Resort, is nothing like the women I’m accustomed to dating, but she’s everything I need.

And she hates the sight of me.

Everything I’ve done has been for family.
That’s what I tell myself when the memory of her laugh seeps into my day.
I didn’t have a choice.
That’s my excuse when her devastated expression haunts my nights.
The truth is, every second of pain and heartache I suffer, I deserve it.
She loved me, and I destroyed her.

*This is the conclusion of Kinley and Holt's story. It's a full length novel with no cliffhanger. Please ignore the page count during the pre-order period.

Review:

After the ending of Duplicity, I was dying to find out what happens next to Kinsley, Holt, and the rest of the characters and couldn't wait to get my hands on this book!
Kinsley is trying to move on with her life, after what happened with Holt. Was everything between them a lie? But when Holt needs her, she wastes no time to be there for him and his family.
Holt has been living in solitude- guilt over what he did to Kinsley consumes him, until he gets a phone call that his family needs him to be there, he drops what he's doing. Surprised when Kinsley shows up to be there for him, maybe there is a chance that he can make things right between them after all.
Will Kinsley forgive him, or does the betrayal run too deep?
I really enjoyed this book. It's a different take on the rockstar romance, and this continues Holt and Kinsley's story from Duplicity. I still loved the characters, and loved seeing how their story goes. It still brought out a few emotions, and was such a great read. I stayed up way too late just to finish it, but enjoyed every minute with these characters. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.

Synopsis

The world famous lead singer of the hard rock group, Jilted, has moved into the Presidential Suite of my hotel. His reputation precedes him and none of it is positive.

Hosting an A-list celebrity will draw affluent guests and solidify the future success of the resort recently left to me by my late father.

I have enormous shoes to fill and no rude, womanizing rock god is going to distract me. With his powerful voice, gorgeous face, and lean body, he may be accustomed to getting his way, especially with women, but I know better.

So, he can flash that charming smile in another direction.

I’m not falling for it.

Review:

If you don't know, I love me a good rockstar romance, and I love SM Shade's writing, so when I found out she was releasing a rockstar romance book I jumped at the chance to read it!
Kinley is a twenty-three year old sucessful business owner- owning her own thriving hotel. She decides to try welcoming more higher end guests, including celebrities to try to bring in more money and business. Her first celebrity guest being non-other than the rock god and lead singer of the band Jilted. There is no way that Kinley would let his sexy voice, gorgeous face, or hot body distract her. Especially since he is known for his past exploits, drunken fights, and fondness for destroying hotel rooms, and womanizing ways. Could it be that Jilted's lead singer finally met a woman his charms doesn't work on?
I loved this book! I love Kinley's character. And her friends too! I loved Holt. I loved the chemistry between him and Kinley- even if they were both trying to fight the attraction. I loved that there was so much more to the story, and the characters from what you initially think. And that ending...!!!
Let me just say, buy this book. If you love SM Shade's books, if you never read her before, if you love rockstar romances or not, seriously. Get this book. It's different then other rockstar romances that I have read before. I am eagerly awaiting book two of the Jilted series to see what happens next. 5⭐ out of 5⭐
