I was looking at this book on amazon, considering reading it..but seeing the names of TWO men, I decided to pass for now. I am not the biggest fans of Love Triangles as of lately (a certain Molly McAdams book killed love triangles for me and for Melanie a couple of years ago) so I try to avoid them now. A couple of days later Melanie is texting me telling me that I NEED TO […]

My thoughts… Emotionally heartbreaking. Amazing brilliant. My favorite book of the year so far. Guys, I cannot begin to tell you how much this book touched my heart. It’s highly emotional. I experienced so many emotions while reading it and I’m still emotional as I sit here and write this review. The plot is unique. I’ve never read a story like this one before. The subject matter isn’t one that’s overdone. Me Before You is […]

My thoughts… I’m torn with my thoughts on this one. On one hand the sex was REALLY HOT. Although, deciding you’re gonna have anal sex with a woman that’s never had anal sex and just shove your junk in there without warning or the use of lube is a bit…. Rude? Wrong? Ridiculous? Mean? Hurtful for the love of God? I’m sure I can come up with a few more words, but I think you […]

“You sure Evan doesn’ t mind me being here?” “He probably hates that you’ re staying the night, but he’ ll get over it.” I take a step toward him and pat him on the shoulder, marveling at the solid feel of muscle beneath my palm, beneath the thick fabric of his sweatshirt. Has he gotten taller since the last time I saw him? Broader? He’ s so big, standing next to him makes me […]

A few months ago I received a review request from an author by the name of Heather Leigh for a book called Relatively Famous (read review). I read the synopsis and jumped on the chance to read this book. She then sent it to me and I DEVOURED THIS BOOK. I couldn’t put it down.  I have since devoured the sequels to this book and have enjoyed the rest of the series immensely. Heather Leigh […]

My thoughts… How far would you go to make your friend realize he’s about to make the worst mistake of his life? How far would you go to make the girl of your dreams see that you belong together? These are two questions I found myself pondering. After finishing this book I got my answers and more. I totally and completely loved this story. I have been trying to be patient for Scott and Gaby’s […]

August 18, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Who knew Wolfe is sex on a stick. Holy wow this second part was HOT! Wolfe is growing on me. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. The sex they have is scorching! I seriously had to fan myself a couple times. The story itself is getting more and more intriguing. I’m not sure where it’s headed or where it’s going to end up. I can’t wait to see though. I’m […]

REVIEW: RED & WOLFE – PART ONE

August 8, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I’m reading another serial as you can see. It’s a completed serial so there’s my excuse. This installment is approximately 52 pages. I was able to read it really quickly. I found both Red & Wolfe intriguing. Red has had some bad luck lately and is running out of funds. She’s getting to the point of being desperate. As hard as she tries she can’t seem to find a job for nothing. I […]

My thoughts… Wow! I really liked this book. I’ve only ever read one other book by this author and I DNF’d it because I couldn’t connect with the characters. That wasn’t the case with this book. I took a liking to Aubrey right away. She’s harboring a lot of guilt because she thinks she could have done more where her sister was concerned. She lost her sister to a drug overdose three years ago and […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]
