Synopsis

DALE
I’m a mature and very pragmatic person, whom others like to call boring.
At least I was…until Harley came back into town…
What do you do when a girl comes back for some petty revenge against you and seduction is part of her game?
You pretend to be a millionaire dom, of course.
Yeah…it sounded better in theory. My execution keeps ending up in awkward messes, and this game between us gets even messier when I learn more about Harley. She’s easy to fall for, even though she’s hazardous as hell.
What happens when all the games end?
HARLEY
One simple little goal turns into one giant disaster.
On the surface, Dale Sterling seemed like an a*****e from my past; the typical arrogant guy who boulders through life and anyone in his way. So a little revenge seemed plausible, considering what he did to me once upon a long time ago. In hindsight, it was immature. But revenge has kept me on top of the world since I stopped being on the bottom of everyone’s shoes, so I make no apologies for my immaturity.
But Dale is weirdly kinky…
Everything is going fine…until it gets real. Now the guy I wanted to humiliate is the same guy I’m begging my heart not to stupidly fall in love with.
Unfortunately, my heart tends to be stubborn.

Excerpt

DALE
“I don’t have any idea how to use all this stuff,” I whisper-yell, and they both turn to look at me like I’ve sprouted a second head.
My cousins are loading down baskets full of somewhat complicated, kinky shit, yet I’m the one who is an idiot for not knowing how to use it.
Unbelievable.
I should have gone to Rye and Brin.
“You don’t actually use it,” Maverick says, his smile turning mocking.
“You kinky bastard,” Corbin adds, goading me with his own taunting smile.
I’m going to kill them both.
“Then why are we buying it?” I growl.
They exchange a horrified look mixed with fascination before doubling over, laughing harder and drawing too much attention our way.
“You really are a kinky little shit, aren’t you?” Maverick asks through his guffaws. “You wanted to use this stuff?”
Dead. They’re both dead.
“It’s always the quiet ones,” Corbin says, too damn amused for his own good.

REVIEW:

Omg. That book. It’s just perfect. You will cry a little, laugh a lot, spill a hell lot from laughter. I even woke up my son from his nap I was laughing so hard. Let’s just say he wasn’t as amused as I was. Lol
Make me is another instalment of C. M. Sterling Shore series. I love every single one of the books in it. You have humour, real situations, grabbing story, heartbreaking moments and characters that are hard not to fall in love with. 

In here she is telling us the story of Dale, the mature and always responsible one from the group, and Harley. A girl from his past that was bullied by so many but defended by none. 

Ms. Owens described how a bullied person can actually over come their bullies but also the danger of what a obsession with revenge can do. 

I loved this book and I can’t wait for the next book in the series!!

5 stars!!

Blurb:


We met at the age of eight. That day on the playground was a turning point in my life.
Her life wasn’t easy. Mine was a cake walk.
She was a good girl. I was a troublemaker.
She was everything and without her I was nothing. I knew it the first time I saw her, and I still know it now.


She wanted me to live my dreams, and I wanted the same for her.
Ten years later, we’re still living separate lives—seeing one another when we can, which wasn’t often with her living in New York City and me in LA.
I know my lifestyle has never been one she can handle—the fans, the media, there is no privacy or peace—but I can’t be without her anymore.


I need her.


She’s the love of my life and when I asked her to come to me last Christmas, she said yes. I’ve been waiting for her, and now she’s here. My heart is finally whole.


But not everything is about me. She’s giving up her life there to merge it with mine here. She’s giving up her privacy. She’s giving up her anonymity. She’s giving me everything.


I’m going to give her everything of me in return. But will our love be enough? Can the good in our lives overshadow the bad? Or will all the obstacles we’ve so carefully avoided break us completely?

ARC Review: Myths of Immortality by Raye Wagner

Firstly thank you Ms Wagner for letting me be a part of the review team. It was a real pleasure to read and review your books.
Again the book has not disappoint me. The story line and writing is even better than in the previous two books.
In here we are following Hope into the depths of underworld to try and break Apollo’s curse. She is still apart from Athan. In the underworld she is disappearing and her friends: Athan, Xan and Dhalia decide to follow her and help her with her mission.
Their journey is full of sacrifices that many times grabbed my heart and I had teary eyes. It’s dangerous and exciting at the same time.
I expected it to be the last book in the series but I’m happy it’s not. Cannot wait for the next part.
4.5 stars.

ARC review: Vicious by L. J. Shen.

Title: Vicious
Series: Sinners of Saint #1
Author: L.J. Shen
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date:  January 1, 2017
On Sale $0.99 through January 13, 2017

Emilia
They say love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances, and it’s true.
The man who comes to me in my dreams also haunts me in my nightmares.
He is a brilliant lawyer.
A skilled criminal.
A beautiful liar.
A bully and a savior, a monster and a lover.
Ten years ago, he made me run away from the small town where we lived. Now, he came for me in New York, and he isn’t leaving until he takes me with him.
Vicious
She is a starving artist.
Pretty and evasive like cherry blossom.
Ten years ago, she barged into my life unannounced and turned everything upside down.
She paid the price.
Emilia LeBlanc is completely off-limits, my best friend’s ex-girlfriend. The woman who knows my darkest secret, and the daughter of the cheap Help we hired to take care of our estate.
That should deter me from chasing her, but it doesn’t.
So she hates me. Big fucking deal.
She better get used to me.

“If you’re looking for a book that’s a little bit dark, a little bit twisted, with a character driven story that leaves you panting more than once, Vicious is it.” – 5 Obsessed Stars – Reader Review

“Absolutely amazing book! You will never find another guy like Vicious and you will never find another book like this ever.”– Tongan Book Lover 5 Stars

“Christ. Just Christ. The naughty bits are hot and steamy, the love story is unique for sure, and the writing is fucking epic because LJ Shen.” – Mells View 5 Stars

“You’re pissing me off,” she said quietly, her eyes still searching my face.
“And that’s turning me on,” I retorted, my voice flat. “So you might wanna tone down the hate glares if you don’t wanna find yourself being fucked on this desk with the blinds still open.”
I was still staring at my screen, working on the merger deal I was eager to get signed before Christmas, but I could see from my peripheral that she had paled. I liked how—once again—I’d gotten under her skin. Quickly.
“You’re disgusting,” she muttered, still staring at me—but not in a way that suggested she was appalled.
I cracked my neck, opening my browser and checking the stocks on the screen, skimming through the greens and the reds. “That may well be, but I’m balls deep in your fucking head, Help, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Her eyes glittered with rage, and fuck, I was so hard, and fuck, she was so beautiful. This was so on. I was going to fuck Dean’s ex-girlfriend, use her for my personal needs, and toss her away when I was done.
And after choosing the wrong guy, there was no doubt in my mind, she deserved it too.
“You just gave Floyd a lecture about the inter-office fraternization policy. No mixing business and pleasure.” She leaned forward. Her elbow touched my finger accidentally, and she jerked it away.
I met her halfway, erasing the space between us across the desk. “Correction—guys like Floyd won’t give you pleasure. Men like me would. Besides, the man likes Arrow,” I drawled, as if this alone was a reason to fire him.
To me, it was.
“You know what your problem is, Vicious? You still haven’t decided if you hate me or like me. That’s why you act like this every time I’m around other men.” There wasn’t a trace of embarrassment in her voice. She owned up to this.
What she didn’t know was that I knew exactly how I felt about her.
I hated her, but was attracted to her. It was really that simple.
“You know what I feel right now, Ms. LeBlanc? I feel like you need to pack a fucking bag and start making the necessary arrangements. You’re coming with me to California, whether you like it or not.”
L.J. Shen resides in sunny California with her husband, son, chubby cat and wild, wild dreams.

Her passion is to write badass stories, sushi, UFC and her awesome family and friends (not in this order, though. Obviously, sushi comes before writing. Oh, and also the family part.)


She spend the first half of her twenties traveling the world and is now paying all the fun with extra shifts in front of her MacBook. Feel free to contact her on her Facebook page. She loves to hear from her readers.

REVIEW:

OMFG. THIS BOOK IS AWESOME.
Yes. I’m screaming because there is so much emotions behind this review. This book is just amazeballs.
I am still new to the phenomena that is writing by Ms. Shen. And and it gets better and better with every book I read. I just love it. I’m addicted.
This book. This story. It’s just everything. It will make you complete. And it will mess you up so much that you will start to doubt few things. But I’m the end: it’s just makes sense. Perfection. Freaking hot, sexy, heart wrenching masterpiece. This is not the only time I will read this book. Once I finished I wanted to dive back in. From the beginning. I even started to thought that I simply like a**holes. And that’s who vicious is. There is no denying it.
But he is also beautiful and sexy. Handsome. Awesome. And so totally mine. I mean Emilia’s. The steam that came from theirs encounters is just off the charts.
It was my second read for this year and it’s the best one so far.
A. MUST. READ.
FREAKING 5 STARS.

ARC Review: Best Comedy ever by C. M. Owens and SM Shade


REVIEW:

Oh my freaking crazy ducks. I laughed so hard while reading it I either snorted or spurted my drink. This book is one hilarious comedy. So worth reading and a perfect book as your first new year read. And believe it made my suffering from cold so much lighter. 

I have read few books where 2 authors were writing but this one is the best one so far. Both authors’ writing styles are perfect. And the story they created is just a masterpiece.  

I really hope this is not a one time only thing. They should make a series. Or something!

Hilarious 5 stars! 


Worth It by C.M. Owens and S.M. Shade


Blurb:

What’s the recipe to the ultimate disaster week?

Three unruly friends.
A wedding we shouldn’t have been invited to.

Two unexpected romances.

A scoop of sexy.

And a double scoop of chaos.

Lydia is a good girl who is above revenge. Good thing she has us. No one cheats on our best friend and rides off into the sunset with his new bride.

What was supposed to happen? Unleash hell like two badasses. It was a simple plan, but we failed to anticipate a few things. A rogue prosthetic, an accidental exorcism, and dominatrix strippers willing to take things way too far, just to name a few.

What actually happened? As usual, nothing went as planned, especially when two sexy distractions popped into the mix. We were there to avenge our friend, not to get entangled with two cocky, arrogant men, who don’t like to hear the word no. I was sure we could resist.

I mean, it was only a week, right? What could happen in a week?

Not intrigued enough? There’s totally a duck in this story.

Ah yeah. Now we have your undivided attention. Enjoy our chaos.
