Crank (Crank #1) by Ellen Hopkins

August 4, 2014 0 Comments Regina

I had ulterior motives for reading this book. I was doing research on the correlation between drug addiction and sexual promiscuity among adolescent girls who grew up with an absentee or poor father figure.(Don’t ask.) I really wanted to read something that was structured like a novel after scouring statistical research articles about the topic, and that’s how I stumbled upon Ellen Hopkins’ work. I would not call this book enjoyable but it’s definitely worth […]

REVIEW: Little Black Book by Tabatha Vargo & Melissa Andrea

July 31, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… First off I cannot believe this full length novel was only 99 cents when I bought it. After just finishing it I’m sitting pondering this. I really loved this one. The synopsis grabbed my attention and I knew I had to read it. The plot is unique and once I got started reading I had a hard time putting it down. The characters were all intriguing and I enjoyed getting to know each […]

REVIEW: Alpha by Jasinda Wilder

July 30, 2014 2 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I’m honestly torn on my thoughts for this book. The plot is unique, but the story itself has been told before. The heroine is not only naive, but she is very foolish. Who trusts a man they’ve never met or never even seen before? The hero demands she be blindfolded upon them first meeting face to face. He doesn’t give her his name. She doesn’t know what he looks like. She’s blindfolded yet […]

RELEASE DAY and REVIEW: Rogue by Katy Evans

July 29, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Woah! I’ve been wondering about this book. I wondered whether Ms Evans could write a book that could compete… Or should I say be of the calibre of Real, Mine, and Remy. One that had characters I would love as much as Remy & Brooke. One that would be a great addition to this awesome series. Well, after having read Rogue I can honestly say that Ms Evans nailed it. The story flowed […]

RELEASE DAY and REVIEW: His Reverie by Monica Murphy

July 28, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… *sigh* Monica Murphy has done it again. His Reverie is a beautifully written love story that touched my heart. I was able to read it in one night. It completely captivated me and just wouldn’t let go. I loved, loved, loved it! Nick is completely taken with Reverie upon meeting her. She’s the most beautiful girl he has ever seen and he can’t help but want to be around her all the time. […]

Book Review: Command Me by Geneva Lee + Giveaway!

July 24, 2014 2 Comments Erin

OH MY GOD. I have a new book boyfriend and his name is Prince Alexander..or maybe we’ll call him X. He’s the royal version of Christian Grey and he is absolutely YUMMY and maybe just as screwed up. Clara Bishop is celebrating graduation from Oxford. She comes from new money and is half-american, though she’s an actual british citizen. Her last relationship about broke her and she’s not interested in meeting men. That is, until […]

REVIEW: Deceptive Innocence by Kyra Davis

July 21, 2014 1 Comment Christy

My thoughts… What started out as a three part serial it has since been combined into one book. I’m a fan of Kyra Davis. I really like her writing style and her unique stories. Her characters are always rich with emotions and I love sinking into their world and feeling like I’m a part of their story. This story was amazing. It’s unique storyline captured my attention from the very first line and kept me […]

The Rules (Project Paper Doll #1) by Stacey Kade

July 20, 2014 2 Comments Regina

I think The Rules is secretly dedicated to all those Smallville Clark+Chole fans out there. Judging by the cover of this book, I would have never guessed it was a Sci-Fi novel with an Alien- hybrid protagonist. Good thing I actually read the back blurb after my bestie lent me a stack of books because I was ready to pass on it. But, as any regular reader of this blog knows, I LOVE me […]

BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: Until We Fly by Courtney Cole

July 16, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I’ve been so excited about this book. I absolutely adore Brand. He’s simply amazing. He’s loyal, brave, loving and so very strong. In the last book Jacey sort of broke his heart. I’m not gonna lie. She seriously pissed me off. I wanted her and Brand to be together, but alas it wasn’t meant to be. And now that I’ve read Until We Fly I’m ok with that because I think Nora is […]

REVIEW: Pulse: Part Four by Deborah Bladon

July 14, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Ah… The final installment of the Pulse serial. I have been dying to get my hands on this little nugget. Part three ended with another cliffhanger of course, but it was an unbelievably good cliffhanger. It made me need part four like right now. The wait was sheer torture. Especially considering that I had assumed part three would be the end. Anyway, I was so excited to start this one. I had to […]

Push and Shove (Ghost Bird Series #6): World Cup Edition+GIVEAWAY!

July 13, 2014 10 Comments Regina

You can find my previous Academy posts and reviews here. Sometimes you’re hot because you’ve been playing futbol in Brazil in tropical temperatures. And sometimes you’re hot because you’ve been reading a C.L. Stone book. C.L. Stone is a dominatrix with her pen in Push and Shove, whipping out the hot and heavy in full force. You can’t blame a girl for playing the field and that’s exactly what Sang does in this latest installment […]

Revenge of the Girl with the Great Personality by Elizabeth Eulberg

July 8, 2014 0 Comments Regina

This book made me feel embarrassed to be a Texan. It reminded me of every time I cringe when I see a national commercial showing guys and gals wearing cowboy hats and Wranglers, driving out to their Texas ranches in their Chevy trucks at five a.m. It’s why my cousins in New York can’t believe I drive a Honda and don’t raise cattle for a living. I feel like Texas was demonized in this novel, […]

REVIEW: My Hunger by Lisa Renee Jones

July 7, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Ah…. more Mark Compton. I wasn’t really a fan of his in the first book or two, but eventually I warmed up to him. He’s your typical dom. Hot, rich, and in total control at all times. Well, he seems to have developed a little loss in control in this novella. It was sort of enjoyable to see his control shaken a bit where Crystal was concerned. There’s a story behind her that […]

REVIEW: Five Ways to Fall by KA Tucker

July 3, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I’m so sad this is the final book in this series. I just wanna sob and email KA Tucker to say “say it isn’t so.” This is one of my most favorite series ever. I have loved each and every book as well as all of the characters within the stories. Ben was a secondary character in the previous books and I couldn’t wait to read his story. He’s the type of guy […]

Book Review: Beautiful Oblivion by Jamie McGuire

July 2, 2014 4 Comments Erin

“In the first installment of the Maddox Brothers books, readers can experience the rush of reading Beautiful Disaster for the first time, all over again.” It pretty much was like re-reading Beautiful Disaster, only with a different clueless girl and another Maddox brother being pushed into the friend zone. Oh let’s not forget the clueless girl’s clueless roommate and her relationships as well. I wanted to punch both girls in the throat. This book was pretty ‘meh’ for […]

REVIEW: The Intern, Volume 2 by Brooke Cumberland

July 2, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Picking up right where Vol 1 left off, the story keeps getting more interesting. I can kind of see where it’s all going, but am unsure on a few things. I devoured this volume. Couldn’t put it down. The sex was really hot, well written, and plentiful. The chemistry these two share is really strong though at times I sort of found myself wondering how Ceci could pull off portraying a woman older […]

REVIEW: Take Me On by Katie McGarry

July 1, 2014 1 Comment Christy

My thoughts… Take Me On is part of one of my favorite YA series. It’s well written and very enjoyable. I really liked West in the previous book and was happy that Take Me On was his book. I also really liked Haley too. She’s a very strong heroine and I think her and West made a great couple. I enjoyed sinking into their world. Even though I really enjoyed this book it took me […]

Mister Black: A Billionaire SEAL Story (In the Shadows, Part 1) by P.T. Michelle

June 30, 2014 11 Comments Regina

When I was a kid I had a favorite sugar cereal called Count Chocola. Now, as an adult, I have a favorite steamy serial and it’s called Mister Black. Appearances can be deceiving but the eyes never lie. When 19 year-old Talia attends a masquerade party in the Hamptons intent on getting the scoop on a big story for her school newspaper, she never imagined she would run into someone from […]

Book Review: The Professional by Kresley Cole

June 30, 2014 1 Comment Erin

I’ve read a lot of not-so-good reviews for this book but I don’t care…. This book was SMOKIN’ HOT and very entertaining. It’s giving me hot flashes just remembering back to when I read it last month. Holy hell. Aleksei “The Siberian” Sevastyan puts Christian Grey and his Red Room to shame. Grad Student, Natalie Porter, and her search to find out about her Birth Parents leads her in to the Russian Mafiya. All The […]

Book Review: Breathe With Me by Kristen Proby

June 28, 2014 0 Comments Erin

You guys… this book didn’t piss me off like Tied With Me did. THANK GOD. I actually enjoyed this book a lot better than Tied With Me, but if you’ve read my rant with Tied With Me, you’ll know that it hit a sore spot for me… so.. yeah. Breathe With Me is a second chance romance. Mark and Meredith were High School Sweethearts with plans of moving to New York City. That is, until […]

REVIEW: Pulse: Part Three by Deborah Bladon

June 25, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… OMG! Another cliffhanger!!! I thought for sure that part three would be the final part of this serial. I was wrong. *sob* Ok so this part was sort of blah. I sort of feel like it was a filler. Nothing really seemed to be going on until the end. When the end got here though….. Wow! Another freaking awesome cliffhanger. I have to have part four now. NOW I tell you! I can’t […]
