Reaper’s Property by Joanna Wylde

March 24, 2013

FIVE SCORCHING HOT STARS. We read this book in January so it is definitely going on our Top 10 for 2013! We love picking up a book knowing nothing about the author or the book and then being COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY. So if you want a completely surprising and enthralling read, this book is for you. Reaper’s Property is a rough, SCORCHING hot romance with a super hot biker named Horse. And yes, his nickname DOES refer to a certain part of the male anatomy. **fans self**

Our heroine Marie has fallen on tough times and is trying for a fresh start by moving in with her loser brother, Jeff. Through a series of incidences told through flashbacks (which we loved, by the way), Marie is taken as “collateral” property by Horse, a member of the Reaper’s Motorcycle Club. Many twists, turns and SEX abound and lead toward a very satisfying conclusion.

There is a LOT more to Horse than his super bad-ass persona. We really loved how Ms. Wylde describes the inner workings of a Motorcycle Club. And this lady has done her research. Check out her blog for an interesting post on real-life MC’s. REAPER’S details the code of ethics by which Motorcycle Clubs operate. They do not operate like the rest of the “civilian” world. This is a rough book and um, it’s not exactly a traditional “romance”. Who knew there was such a distinction between “Sweet Butt” and “Old Lady”?

We also LOVE a book with dual POV’s.

All we can say is BRAVO to Ms. Wylde for creating one of the most memorable bad-ass alphas out there. This is an author to watch. We can’t wait to read more Reaper’s MC.

As of this posting, REAPER’S is temporarily unavailable from Amazon. Author working to fix this.

Beyond Shame by Kit Rocha

March 8, 2013

Kit Rocha

Synopsis
A dangerous world of sex, lust and violence…

All Noelle Cunningham has ever wanted is a life beyond–beyond the walls of Eden, where only the righteous are allowed to remain, and beyond her stiflingly restrictive existence as a councilman’s daughter. But only ruins lie outside the City, remnants of a society destroyed by solar storms decades earlier.

The sectors surrounding Eden house the corrupt, the criminal–men like Jasper McCray, bootlegger and cage fighter. Jas clawed his way up from nothing to stand at the right hand of Sector Four’s ruthless leader, and he’ll defend the O’Kane gang with his life. But no fight ever prepared him for the exiled City girl who falls at his feet.

Her innocence is undeniable, but so is their intense sexual attraction, and soon they’re crossing every boundary Noelle barely knew she had. But if she wants to belong to Jas, first she’ll have to open herself to the gang, and to a world where passion is power, and freedom is found in submission.

My Review
Profane, imaginative and sexy. There is nothing more exciting for a reader than to pick up a new book by an unfamiliar author and be totally swept away. Beyond Shame might be the most sexually charged book I have ever read and I loved every minute.

Noelle’s discovery that she can be totally free, sexually and otherwise, in Sector Four makes for some thrilling reading. Beyond Shame is like a Kristen Ashley story on crack. The men are hot, they are sexy and the sex scenes are like nothing I have ever read. Even getting inked turns into an erotic experience for Noelle.

Loved the dystopic storyline and that the female characters are free to make their own choices. Jasper and Noelle are unforgettable characters.

Favorite quotes:

“If it’ll bother you when the men start fighting over her, you better get straight. Because that girl wants it, and when she gets around to admitting it, the boys are gonna give it to her.” – Dallas

“She’d have to give up everything to belong to him – her secrets, her body, her shame. It might all be worth it if he could set her free.”

“I’m going to show you what it means to be mine, with nothing held back.” – Jasper

Give this book a try. You won’t be sorry.

Beyond Control, Book #2, will be available March 19th, 2013. You can read the first several chapters at www.kitrocha.com

Sins & Needles (The Artists Trilogy #1) by Karina Halle

March 1, 2013

SYNOPSIS:
Ellie Watt is used to starting over. The daughter of a grifting team, Ellie spent her childhood being used as a pawn in her parents’ latest scam. Now she’s much older, wiser and ready to give her con artist life a rest. But returning to the dry desert town of Palm Valley, California means one more temptation than she bargained for – Camden McQueen. Once known as the high school weirdo, Camden is bigger and badder than the boy he used to be and a talented tattoo artist with his own thriving business. Ellie’s counting on Camden still being in love with her but what she’s not counting on is how easily unrequited love can turn into obsession over time. When Camden discovers Ellie’s plan to con him, he makes her a deal she doesn’t dare refuse, but her freedom comes with a price and it’s one that takes both Ellie and Camden down a dangerous road.

I wish I could do justice to this book but I am not eloquent enough. This is a stunning story that will break your heart, thrill you and leave you wanting much, much more.

It is difficult to write a review of this book without giving away any of the major plot twists. Karina Halle is a very gifted storyteller with an incredibly sensitive voice. I stayed up very, very late to finish this book. I could not wait to see what path Ellie and Camden would take. And oh yeah, there is some very graphic and steamy sex.

It is very gratifying to find an author who can surprise and thrill with such a great story.

There is a very satisfying cliffhanger (you’ll see what I mean!) and thankfully more books planned in this series. A prequel novella, On Every Street, is coming on March 12th, featuring the “torrid love story” of Ellie and Javier. Shooting Scars (TAT #2) is coming May 13th, 2013

More Than Meets the Ink (Bowen #1) by Elle Aycart

February 26, 2013

LOVED LOVED LOVED this book!!

Cathy gives this book 4 Stars for story, 5 Stars for the sex scenes. Ellen gives this book 5 STARS so we are going to Wei in at 4.5 stars.

Elle Aycart, where have you been all my life? I couldn’t put this book down. Ms. Aycart gives us very well-written characters in Tate and James. (And guess what, James has BROTHERS! More Bowen brothers, please!) James is sexy, gorgeous, tattooed, and everything that Tate thinks she needs to run away from. But wouldn’t you know it, James is SEXY and LOVING and he waits patiently (sort of) for Tate to come to her senses.

Tate and James “meet cute” in a Florida retirement community and agree they will get together JUST for sex. But they fall hard for each other, and Tate runs scared. This book had elements of Kristen Ashley which I loved. Intense sexual attraction, HOT ALPHA MALE who wants to protect his woman, and a storyline that leaves Tate in danger.

This book is about two people with serious relationship issues and ultimately a story about heartbreak, healing and trust.

This book is VERY EXPLICIT and the sex scenes are TOTALLY HOT. James is intense, controlling and I loved every minute.

♥ James ♥

I highlighted so many passages in this book but here are some of my favorites:

“When he regained his senses, his throat felt raw, his mind foggy, and he wasn’t sure if his legs would work again-ever. What the fuck had happened? Had she killed him?” – James

“He felt feverish, out of control, famished, like he’d been waiting for this for ages. There weren’t going to be any fancy moves from him. Just stark-naked hunger.” – James

“It amazed her how giving James was. He didn’t seem afraid of anything; he was so sure of her it scared the living shit out of her.” – Tate

A MUST-READ
