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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

“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 […]

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 […]

    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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

My thoughts… I have mixed feelings about this one. While there was a great twist in the plot that makes this story all the more interesting, I couldn’t help but be a bit disappointed in the overall content. I understand this is an erotic serial. I expect sex. Explicit sex. The sex within this one though was a little over the top. Vaughn almost seemed cruel at times sexually. I don’t know why, but I […]

My thoughts… This is book two in the Seductive Nights series and I think I liked it more so then the first. There seemed to be a lot more going on in this one. I guess it may be because it’s the final book and that things needed to be tied up at the end. Book one ended with a cliffhanger so I was really excited to start this book. I wanted to see how […]

My thoughts… Dang! This book is hot. I own a couple books by Lauren Blakely. Sadly I haven’t had a chance to read either of them so this the first one I’ve read by her. I really enjoyed it. The sex is majorly hot, plentiful, and well written. The storyline is unique and captivating. I liked both Clay & Julia. The intense attraction between these two and passion they shared was unbelievably hot. I had […]

My thoughts… Asher is the debut novel by Author Jo Raven. I liked it for the most part. I liked all the characters. Since this is the first book in a series, readers are introduced to the five young men who grew up as friends and treat each other like brothers. The five guys make up the heroes in each book. This book’s hero is Asher. The heroine is Audrey. I really liked these two. […]

Part of me wishes I had spent the money I blew on this book on some US Weekly or OK! gossip mags instead. I never understood what was so great about The Great Gatsby. I read and analysed it my junior year of high-school just like everyone else, and I read it with great expectations because of the  reputation that proceeded it. The story just never hit the mark for me, even when I reread […]

My thoughts… OMG! I have to have part three now. Like right now. Wow! What a cliffhanger. I can honestly say that I have absolutely no idea how this is all going to play out. I’m speechless. Truly. Nathan you sneaky bastard. I was really starting to like him and then…. Ah! If you haven’t read this serial you seriously need too. Part one is good. Part two is even better. I have no doubt […]

My thoughts… I’m on a serial kick right now. At first I didn’t really care for them, but the Reasonable Doubt serial got me interested in reading them so I decided to give them another shot. Pulse offers an intriguing storyline and for the most part I liked this one. I wasn’t really into Nathan in the beginning, but I’ve slowly come around. I liked Jessica aka Jess right off the bat. I found her […]

My thoughts… Wow! Being totally honest here my first impression was that this was going to be a serial that didn’t stand out. I can’t say I didn’t like the hero, but I didn’t love him either. He was pretty bossy which is to be expected, but I think his actions were a little out there. Maybe a little unrealistic in the fact that he kept showing up conveniently. Especially for someone that was a […]
