Review
 

I absolutely LOVED Sweet Addiction, the first book in this series, which I highly recommend. Book Two continues the story of Reese and Dylan, and the author delivers another steamy, delicious and frothy confection of a story. There are tons of HOT and dirty sex scenes to satisfy every romance reader and lots of witty banter between all of the characters in this story.

Sweet Possession follows baker Dylan as she prepares for her wedding to gorgeous accountant Reese, so we get lots of family drama, wedding jitters and super-hot and scorching sex scenes between dirty-talking Reese and his love, Dylan. It is great fun seeing them progress from a wedding hook-up to a devoted, madly-in-love couple. This book is a quick, hot, funny and yummy read from an author who I have come to love. You will love this story if you are looking for a sexy and fun read with great supporting characters!

Synopsis:

I was thrilled when I was offered a graduate teaching position at the prestigious Tennerson Girls Academy. At twenty-three, this would be my first ‘real’ teaching assignment. Working at the elite boarding school, home to the daughters of some of the wealthiest people in the world, was a great opportunity that I would’ve been stupid to pass up.

One week into my new job, and I suddenly had no idea why I chose high school…I was a seventeen year old boy once, I knew how teenage girls behaved.

You can’t even imagine the hell of trying to teach thirty, hormonal driven seventeen year olds who have been cooped up, away from any male contact.

I could handle the whispers every time I entered the room. I could even handle the obvious attempts at gaining my attention. What I couldn’t handle was her…

Rich bitches and way too many rules. Was it any wonder that I hated school?

Add to that the lack of male contact, and I was going insane. Like literally. I wasn’t used to this. A year ago I was normal. I had a boyfriend, friends and a loving family. There is nothing normal about me anymore, and nobody here lets me forget that.

My name is Wrenn, and I’m only here because my aunt took me in after what happened, but my aunt also happens to be the headmistress of this academy…Can you see my problem?

I’m hated for my lack of money, and I’m hated for who my Aunt is.

Then he arrived. Dalton Reed. My new history teacher.

Slowly, he helped me see that even in the worst situations, there is always hope.

My Review:

Always You is a very hot, sweet and sometimes angsty story of a student-teacher romance. Wrenn is very mature for an 18 year old and Dalton is only a few years older, just out of college. Added to that is the fact that he is teaching at her school on a temporary assignment, filling in for a teacher on maternity leave.

Their attraction builds, and their scenes together are very satisfying and super-steamy. This story is perfect for when you need a sexy, fairly quick read that is a standalone with no cliffhanger. I didn’t feel too much of a taboo feeling towards their relationship, but I was on pins and needles waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Dalton is hiding a life-changing secret that is hinted at from the beginning. I liked the sensitivity with which the author dealt with his topic, and the ending and prologue were nicely satisfying. Always You is another enjoyable, sexy and emotional read from Missy Johnson.

Excerpt:

Her fingers closing around the hem of her sweater, she lifted it over her head. God, she was so fucking sexy. I kissed hers breasts around the cup of her lacy black bra, pulling it down to expose her soft skin. My mouth fondled her nipple until it sat erect.
“I want you so fucking bad, Wrenn.”
She kissed me and then stood up, wiggling out of her jeans. Pushing me back on the bed, she reached for my belt, unbuckling both it and my pants. I lifted my hips, letting her pull them down, along with my boxers, until they pooled in a pile on the floor. My cock ached for her as she kneeled down. Taking the tip in her mouth, she began to suck.

About the Author:

Missy lives in a small town in Central Victoria with her husband, and her confused pets (a dog who think she’s a cat, a cat who thinks he’s a dog…you get the picture).
When she’s not writing, she can usually be found looking for something to read.

SYNOPSIS

There’s a new Alpha in town… and he’s a Brit!

Darcy Nicole Sheridan, is 22 years-old, beautiful, single, spirited, sexy and – spoiled. She knows that about herself. Raised by wealthy (and doting) parents as an only child, Darcy pretty much coasts through life until her heart was inexplicably broken by her boyfriend, Darin.

To ease the pain, Darcy flies to Belize over the holidays fully intending to wallow in self-pity and distance herself from her ex. Her pity party is short-lived however, after observing a very handsome, very intriguing man on the beach. Darcy becomes the focus of the smokin’ hot, wealthy and somewhat mysterious ‘E.J.’

Soon she finds herself entangled with an alpha like no other… Her world is rocked by a series of events that will forever change the course of her life, showing her what love is all about; and forcing her to come to terms with hidden sexual pleasures only one man could fulfill…

This book is intended for mature audiences.

REVIEWED BY CATHY

In Night Moves, we have the story about a spoiled girl named Lindsey, an only child who always gets her way. She meets her match when she catches her boyfriend cheating on and heads off to Belize for a holiday. There she meets Easton, a totally hot and controlling Alpha male who just beds them and leaves them. Easton has his own issues with women, because he was never shown love from his mother and he was betrayed by an ex. He transfers all of this “baggage” to all of his hook ups. He manipulates Lindsay to work with him, and at the same time, she sleeps with him because they have a connection they both can’t avoid. But can he let go of his past and admit he loves her?

“I’ve a tendency to try and lead when slow-dancing,” I warned him. His lips twitched, and amusement glimmered darkly in his eyes.
“You have no worries there; I don’t intend to allow that,” he responded softly. “You’ll learn to follow, I promise.”

This book hooked me in and I want to know more about these characters! I like Ms. Smith’s witty writing style; the book is well written, even though we have heard parts of this storyline before. But I loved the characters, and the sex was HOT with the sexy Alpha in the mix! I felt the story got a little rushed toward the end, but overall Night Moves is a good, very sexy and entertaining read.

Synopsis:

On the surface, twenty-two year old Cole Morgan is exactly what any girl would be proud to take home to meet her parents: He’s charming, intensely handsome and goal-oriented…Only he has some secrets of his own, which include provoking bar fights and a former drug-addict of a mother slowly wasting away in a medical facility.

At barely twenty, Violet Lynn is Country Music’s hottest star, until one night of partying gets out of control. Violet ends up in jail and on TMZ. Suddenly, she’s the girl least likely to be invited anywhere. Sick of the drama and keeping secrets, she runs away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi to her grandmother’s home in Forrestville, North Carolina.

A chance meeting knocks Cole off his feet, but he doesn’t recognize Violet for who she is. In fact no one does and Violet plans to keep it that way.

Circumstances, however annoying, keep throwing Violet and Cole together. Unable to stop themselves they give into the inevitable.

But when Nashville is ready to forgive and forget, Violet is forced to choose between Cole and claiming her spot as the new and improved Princess of Country Music.

Will Violet and Cole have the courage to live for their dreams…Or their hearts?

Cathy’s Review:

This is a somewhat sad story about Violet, a young and famous country singer who is forced to flee from her current life to her grandmother’s home in North Carolina.

Violet keeps her identity a secret and becomes “Violet Rae”. Rae then meets Cole by chance, a gorgeous tattooed guy who runs a bar and who is hiding lots of secrets of his own, including a drug addicted mother.

Both Rae and Cole do not think they deserve each other. What I liked about the book are the characters and their connection. The alternating POV’s were a little confusing to me as a reader and I think issues were resolved a little too quickly between chapters. I did love the hot sex scenes between Cole and Rae!

Although this is a fairly quick read, I do feel the author has written a great storyline, and I am looking forward to reading more stories from her!

My Misery Muse by Brei Betzold

February 22, 2013

MMM

The story is solid yet simple, Seth left Devi to pursue rock music career, she loves him but lets him go, she gets pregnant and is unable to tell him. He later returns to town and meets the young son he never knew he had. She is now a well-regarded tattoo artist. We tried to feel a connection between the main characters, but did love the story. We are looking forward to more from this author and are looking forward to reading the next book.

We had a small issue with the grammar and punctuation in this book but hopefully these were tidied up in more recent versions of the book.

We loved the tattoo parlor setting and enjoyed the descriptions of Seth and Devlin, the main characters. The author does have a great imagination and many readers loved this book. Looking forward to more in this series.
