MY SYNOPSIS

On the night Madi Ramirez lost her abuela at the age of 13, her grandmother's spirit paid her a visit and revealed an image of the man she was destined to marry. As Madi grew older and began to date, it became her single focus to find this mysterious man.

Fast forward to present day >> every man Madi believed was the love of her lives has turned out to be a disappointment. When Madi finds herself once again reeling from a breakup, she decides to seek solace by traveling to her grandmother's homeland in Puerto Rico. 

 

Madi immediately feels at home on the island and soon meets a man with whom she feels an instant connection. The only problem? He doesn't haven't the same initials as the man she saw in her vision as a child. Madi must decide if she wants to continue living for a day in the future that may never come or live in the present and enjoy every moment she possibly can with the man right in front of her. 

MY THOUGHTS

LOVE OF MY LIVES is a fun, lighthearted read that would be perfect for the beach. The plot is interesting and unique, and the author added a lot of great descriptive and background information about Puerto Rico. It made me want to book a flight to see the beauty for myself. 

However, I would have liked to feel a deeper connection between Madi and the main love interest. Their relationship just didn't feel believable to me. There were also a few events that seemed too far fetched and a few others that didn't really add anything to the story. Overall, I thought it was an enjoyable read that could use another round of editing. 

I'd recommend to readers looking for a fun travel romance, as well as fans of soul mates, magical realism, and instalove.

BOOK REVIEW: The Architect by Nikki Sloane

THE ARCHITECT is a steamy three-alarm inferno of hotness!

The third installment of the Nashville Neighborhood series is much more intense (and satisfying) than the two that came before it. THE DOCTOR and THE POOL BOY are great, but THE ARCHITECT is just... more everything. 

Clay Crandall is an architect who's not happy when a problem with a current project sends him out of town. Because his relationship with next-door neighbor Lilith is new and he's eager to make good on the designs he has planned for her, he proposes an unconventional solution to satisfy both of their needs until he returns from Jacksonville -- LONG DISTANCE PLAY.

And not your typical long-distance play either. Oh, no. Clay wants to watch and direct a friend to carry out his plans for Lilith in his stead.

"I asked Mr. E if he'd be interested in a temporary arrangement. He said yes."

I swallowed thickly.

"What kind of arrangement?"

"Until I'm back, he'll be me."

"What?"

"I'll still control the scene, but it'll be remotely for now. He's agreed to fulfill the physical part for me. He's another way for us to play together."

Of course, there are a few stipulations. And, as you might imagine, things don't quite play out the way Clay originally planned...

I really loved the dynamic between Clay, Lilith, and Mr. E. It's such a unique situation that almost feels impossible to succeed, but Sloan somehow makes their relationship seem like the norm instead of an outlier. The writing is excellent, as always, but I will say this -- I think this might be Nikki Sloane's steamiest book yet. If you're at all familiar with her work, you already know that's really saying something.   

PLEASE NOTE -

THE ARCHITECT is centered around a MFM relationship and features elements of BDSM (bondage and pain infliction, mostly). If BDSM is a trigger for you or not really your thing, this book is not for you.

For those of you that don't mind a little BDM (minus the sadism), you're good. Humiliation, degradation, and/or victims of abuse are NOT aspects of this story.

MY THOUGHTS

Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Point of View: Alternating First Person
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am so obsessed with this book! It's full of angst and witty banter. It will piss you off, warm your heart, and make you feel ...all the things.  

Grace Shaw and West St. Claire are polar opposites.

Grace likes to hide in the background.
West captures the attention of everyone.
Grace refuses to step outside of her comfort zone.
West HAS no comfort zone.
Nothing flusters West.
Everything flusters Grace.

Despite their differences, Grace and West have two important things in common:

1. They have suffered an unimaginable tragedy. 

2. They are stuck in the past and allow it to dictate their future. 

Grace is surprised to find an unexpected ally in West after being forced to work with him. While West is best known for his hotheaded attitude and total domination in an underground fighting ring, he's different with Grace. He's quick to smile and shares parts of himself that he keeps hidden from everyone else. 

"In a lot of ways, the food truck felt like our bubble.
A snug confession booth.
The rules were different in the truck.
Like we shed our primary skin, of our stigma and reputation and social status.
Here we were simply... us."

PLAYING WITH FIRE is much more than a simple love story. It's also a story about life, loss, recovery, and rising up from the ruins.

BLOG TOUR & BOOK REVIEW: The Pool Boy by Nikki Sloane

From USA Today bestselling author Nikki Sloane comes a sexy, edgy new standalone in the Nashville Neighborhood series.

BOOK BLURB

Nothing says happy birthday like catching your husband in a compromising position with his boss. 

His male boss.

Why, hello, midlife crisis.

I'm starting over, but this time I'm doing it right.

Or at least I'm doing what I want.

Taking the day off from work to hang out poolside?

Yup.

Do I leave the swimsuit in my house?

Sure.

Does my very hot, twenty-something pool boy happen to catch me naked?

Oh, yeah, he does. And he likes what he sees... a lot.

My best friend keeps telling me to have a fling and get back out there.

But I'm not so sure she meant for me to do it with her son.

EXCERPT

Troy Osbourne came once a week to service both my pool and the freestanding spa. I'd hired him last year to handle closing and covering the pool for the winter, then reopening it for me last month, and the weekly visits that followed had kept the water crystal clear and the pH perfectly balanced.

My pool had never looked so good.

But Troy always came when I was at work and let himself in through the gate at the side of my fence, so I had completely forgotten his schedule. He must have gone behind the pool house and inside to fetch his supplies, and when he'd rounded the corner and discovered me topless, he'd dropped everything in his arms. 

Including the long pole with the net at the end.

It was as if someone had put their foot down on the sustain pedal of a piano, only this piano played the music of time, and the moment suspended with my long, drawn out gasp.

I was topless, and he was frozen, and holy shit, he's my best friend's twenty-four-year-old son.

It burst from my lips in horror. "Oh, f*ck!"

In my panic, I grasped at my towel to cover myself, only to struggle, hopelessly, since it was pinned beneath my body. I leapt to my feet and yanked the terrycloth up, pressing it over my naked chest.

Troy still hadn't moved. His lips were open, as if he'd planned to say something, but now he was frozen and unable to do anything. I couldn't see his eyes behind his mirrored Aviator sunglasses, but he didn't seem to be breathing. 

So, I did what any reasonable woman would when a gorgeous almost-stranger caught her naked.

I ran.

MY THOUGHTS

Genre: Contemporary / Erotic Romance 

POV: Alternating First Person 

Tropes: Divorce, Forbidden Love, Learning to Love Again, Musicians, Reverse Age Gap, Work Relationships

Overall: ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Character Development: 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

Steam Factor: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- Nikki Sloane never disappoints. I've read every book, novella, and short story she's ever published, and every book, novella, and short story has been nothing short of spectacular. 

THE POOL BOY strikes the perfect balance between steamy and heartfelt moments.

It's the perfect mix of sweetness and filth.

At the age of 42, Erika is in the best shape of her life. So, she doesn't understand why her husband's sex drive seems to be fading. That is until she catches him cheating.  

Meanwhile...

At the age of 24, Troy is stuck working for his stepdad's construction company. It's one of a few jobs, actually -- he also teaches a class at the gym, cleans the pool for Ms. Erika, and performs at local dive bars on the weekends.  

Troy has harbored a crush on Erika for years but realistically knows he doesn't have a shot with his mom's best friend.

CUE: TROY'S FANTASY COMES TO LIFE

"His mouth was the same as his singing voice.

Gentle one second and full of commanding power the next."

FINAL TAKE

Like THE DOCTOR (the first book in the the Nashville Neighborhood series), THE POOL BOY is a fun, steamy, quick read. It should come as no surprise that I loved it, as I love everything Nikki Sloane writes. She can write a sex scene like nobody's business; they are always super hot and never a touch cringe. This is no easy feat, but Sloane somehow manages it every time. THE POOL BOY is the perfect summer read!

BOOK REVIEW: Admission by Julie Buxbaum

ADMISSION is a fictional story about the very real college admissions scandal that sparked outrage and passionate debate across the country. With sensitivity and grace, Julie Buxbaum has woven a tale about the forces that perpetuate elitism and white privilege and the destruction those forces leave in their wake. 

Chloe Berringer is living the good life in sunny, southern California. Well... she was living it before the FBI showed up with guns drawn and a warrant for her mother's arrest. 

Until that fateful day, Chloe had lived the most uneventful life that ever existed. Nothing bad ever happened, and senior year was shaping up to be the best yet! An acceptance letter from Chloe's dream school had just arrived (despite her mediocre GPA and the school's notoriously selective acceptance policy), and her lifelong crush had finally asked her to Prom.

In the blink of an eye (or the clink of her mom's cuffs), Chloe's good fortune makes a complete 180 before nosediving straight into the ground. Unable to return to school and with her best friend MIA, Chloe is forced to face some hard truths alone.  

MY THOUGHTS

I found myself captivated by Chloe's story. Indeed, I read this ARC from start to finish without putting it down. Despite a few (very minor) holes in the subplot of a secondary character, I thoroughly enjoyed ADMISSION and think it's an important story worth telling.

Ignorance may be bliss, but it's also irresponsible.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW: Handle with Care by Helena Hunting

SYNOPSIS

New York Times bestselling author of SHACKING UP and I FLIPPING LOVE YOU by Helena Hunting mixes humor and heart in this scandal-filled romantic comedy. 

HE WANTS TO LOSE CONTROL.

Between his parents' messed up marriage and his narcissistic younger brother, Lincoln Moorehead has spent the majority of his life avoiding his family. After the death of his father, Lincoln finds himself in the middle of the drama. To top it all off, he's been named CEO of Moorehead Media, much to his brother's chagrin. But Lincoln's bad attitude softens when he meets the no-nonsense, gorgeous woman who has been given the task of transforming him from the gruff, wilderness guy to a suave businessman. 

SHE'S TRYING TO HOLD IT TOGETHER.

Wren Sterling has been working double time to keep the indiscretions at Moorehead Media at bay, so when she's presented with a new contract, with new responsibilities and additional incentives, she agrees. Working with the reclusive oldest son of a ridiculously entitled family is worth the hassle if it means she's that much closer to pursuing her own dreams. What Wren doesn't expect is to find herself attracted to him, or for it to be mutual. And she certainly doesn't expect to fall for Lincoln. But when a shocking new Moorehead scandal comes to light, she's forced to choose between her own family and the broody, cynical CEO.

MY REVIEW

Loaded with witty dialogue and the type of quality writing I've come to expect from Helena Hunting, HANDLE WITH CARE is the perfect combination of romance, comedy, and suspense. 

Wren is an independent PR consultant and has just done the impossible -- reshaped the horrendous reputation of Armstrong Moorehead. 

That's all well and good, but Wren's ultimate dream is to start up her own charitable organization. It's the reason she agreed to be Armstrong's handler in the first place. His mother sits on the foundation committee of nearly every charitable foundation in the city and has promised Wren a glowing recommendation upon the fulfillment of her contract at Moorehead Media.

As the end of Wren's six-month contract comes to a close, the CEO of Moorehead Media suddenly dies and she reluctantly agrees to stay on for another six months to help Armstrong's older brother transition into the vacant position.

Lincoln is nothing like his brother. He's altruistic and focused on his job overseeing the construction of homes in developing countries. When his dad dies, he's in the middle of a project in Guatemala. He's been away from civilized society for years and he hates New York. Taking over as CEO of Moorehead Media is the last thing Lincoln wants, so Wren has her work cut out for her. 

Aside from a rough start, the chemistry between Wren and Lincoln is undeniable. When they stop fighting the inevitable, an intimate relationship starts to form. The thing I loved about HANDLE WITH CARE is that it's not a story of instalove; it's about two people forming a strong bond, organically, over time.

Despite the confidence and loyalty Lincoln and Wren have found in each other, one question still remains. Can their newfound relationship survive the fallout of a buried secret once it's unearthed and the ugly truth is revealed?

MY TAKE

I wholeheartedly enjoyed HANDLE WITH CARE. In fact, I loved it so much that I read the entire thing from start to finish in one sitting. Also, I love when authors throw in character cameos from previously written novels, and Helena Hunting is a master at this.

(If you loved the SHAKING UP series, you'll love this standalone.)

HANDLE WITH CARE is a must read for romcom and "feel good" lovers everywhere!

AUTHOR BIO

BOOK REVIEW: Hush, Hush by Lucia Franco

HUSH, HUSH is about two best friends living it up in NYC.

Aubrey and Natalie are college roommates, addicted to money and designer clothing, and having the time of their lives. A pretty clear picture of their party life is painted when they go out for Aubrey's 21st birthday.

"It's time to pregame," she says dropping a pill into my hand.

"We're celebrating this birthday in true New York City fashion--with a few shots and some Molly."

"I'm gonna need to find a hot rando tonight if this is what we're doing."

Naturally, this lifestyle lends itself to risky behavior -- and lots of it. It also leads Aubrey's path to cross with James Riviera. Thirty years her senior, James is an attractive, incredibly wealthy, and well-known attorney. He also happens to be married.

Pshhh... married, shhhmaried.

RIGHT?

As it turns out, James and his wife have an understanding... of sorts. This is great news for Aubrey, as it momentarily soothes her guilty conscience when she can't stay away from him. Unfortunately, the good news stops there and a surprising revelation flips her world upside down. With more than just a broken heart at stake, Aubrey must decide how far she's willing to go to live a double life and keep the first man she's ever truly wanted.

MY TAKE

Despite my lack of knowledge about the subject matter, and having never read other work by this author, I requested an ARC from the publisher. Why would I do that? Well... the synopsis and teaser photos intrigued me. They reminded me of Gossip Girl. And, who DOESN'T love Gossip Girl?

Much to my dismay, it didn't take long to realize HUSH, HUSH was nothing like Gossip Girl. Nevertheless, I really wanted to like this book. I hate writing negative reviews for ARCs (especially when I personally request them from the publisher), which is why I never gave up on this book (even though I wanted to about a million times).

The first half of HUSH HUSH is pretty brutal. Nothing happens. Seriously. N-o-t-h-i-n-g. Aubrey doesn't meet James until CHAPTER 21.

TWENTY-ONE, guys!

The first twenty chapters are filled with nothing but page after page of inane, whiny dialogue.

"I could be every man's wet dream."

"Real recognizes real," she says with such a heavy Bronx accent in the back of her throat.
"Say no more. I got you, girl."

"I really don't want to fold clothes tomorrow."
"I really don't want to go to class tomorrow."
"I really don't want to babysit these bratty kids all weekend."

It was very hard to power through these chapters, but things get a little better after Aubrey meets James.

REVIEW BREAKDOWN

GENRE:   New Adult

TROPE:   Forbidden Romance
POV:       First Person

*** This book contains taboo subject matter ***

OVERALL: ❤️❤️

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: 👩👩👩

STORY LINE: 📚📚

STEAM FACTOR: 🔥🔥🔥🔥

ANGST: 😒😒

PRO: well-written (aside from the whiny dialogue), hot and steamy scenes
CONS: shallow characters, slow moving and repetitive plot, casual drug use

I understand that HUSH, HUSH was written for a younger audience. HOWEVER... there are many authors who have written similar books without glamorizing drug use. I'm not talking about a little pot. I'm talking about MDMA (aka molly, ecstasy), cocaine, and oxy. The opioid problem in this country is bad enough already. Crafting young characters that pop prescription pain pills (without consequence) as if it's the answer to every problem is not something we really need right now.

I was tempted to give this book one star for that reason alone.

TO SUMMARIZE

HUSH, HUSH will not be for everyone (it certainly wasn't for me), as it's centered around a taboo subject that will turn off some readers. Worst of all, the synopsis doesn't mention the taboo subject matter or provide a trigger warning. Other authors have tackled the same subject more delicately than Franco. It's all about how the subject matter is initially presented, and it was poorly executed here.

*A big thank you goes out to the author for granting me the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book. The thoughts expressed in this review are my own personal opinions and have been written in my own words.

BOOK REVIEW: Violent Ends by Jessica Hawkins

WOW.

WOW.

WOW.

WOW.

WOW.

This series is SO *&$@#! GOOD that I'm legit at a loss for words.

There are no words.

VIOLENT ENDS, the second book of the White Monarch trilogy by Jessica Hawkins, is a nail-biting, page-turning, gripping-your-hair-out-of-frustrated-anticipation kind of good. 

VIOLENT ENDS picks right back up where VIOLENT DELIGHTS left off -- with my jaw on the floor. Natalia Cruz, the sheltered and naïve daughter of one of the most powerful drug lords in all of Mexico, has just been betrayed by the man she loves. To protect her family and everyone she loves, Natalia sacrificed her future happiness and agreed to a wedding that felt more like a funeral. By accepting her role as the wife of a powerful cartel kingpin, she is now legally and spiritually bound to the one thing she so desperately wanted to escape.

When Natalia finds out that Cristiano is not the man she expected, she struggles to sort through her warring emotions. As lines continue to blur, Natalia isn't sure if she should fear or hate her new husband, or if she should feel something else entirely. The only thing she knows for certain -- she will never stop searching for the answers to her questions. 

There is so, so, so, so much that I love about this book. The simmering heat. The power struggle. The witty banter. 

ALL. THE. FEELS.

"I lost my breath at the sight of his ass. I could've flicked a quarter at it and ducked as it ricocheted right back at me. Smooth with bronze, concave cheeks, it had more definition than his top-of-the-line TVs."

But man... that cliff hanger is brutal.

I don't know how to survive the next few months without knowing how it all ends. I can only hope and pray, and cross my fingers and toes, that the title of book three, VIOLENT TRIUMPHS, means the end will be a triumphant one. 

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

Trust me, you need to read this book. 
You can thank me later.
