book review " fifty shades darker " by E.L James



The Fifty Shades Trilogy by EL James has had many people on their toes over the past few months. Why?

Honestly, I guess there are quite a few answers that could be given, but overall, I keep asking myself the same thing...WHY??

Just like with Fifty Shades of Grey I'm still not sure what to think of this series. The thing is, is some ways I somehow understand why women are loving this series. But then at the same time I can't help but feel disgusted!

Women want to be taken seriously. They want their independence, they want to have the same, and equal rights as men, but at the same time they want to feel loved, protected, and taken care of by their loved one. I get it. I do. I know I want that one day.

But there is just so much WRONG with Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey's relationship.

book review " All In " by Raine Miller


SINOPSIS


Ethan Blackstone has a problem on his hands. He’s broken Brynne’s trust and she’s left him. He’s unwilling to live without her and isn’t giving up – he’s dead-set on getting his beautiful American girl back. The passion between them was explosive, but the secrets they hid from each other are dark and chilling and are powerful enough to destroy their shot at a life together. With political threats now directed at Brynne, Ethan is running out of time and he’ll need to gather all his strength and agility to protect her from the dangers that could take her away from him forever. Will Ethan be able to save Brynne from a past that keeps her locked in fear? Will he ever feel the warmth of her touch, the solidity of her trust again? This is a love-struck man who is willing to do whatever it takes to possess the heart of the woman he loves. He’ll go to any lengths to protect her. He’ll go all in.

REVIEW
“Ethan knows what happened to me and there is no way he could possibly love me now.”
After the cliffhanger ending of Naked, we immediately find ourselves in the aftermath of Brynne’s discovery of how Ethan came to enter her life. Brynne has not only left Ethan, she refuses any contact with him altogether, hurt by his deception and omission to tell her the truth.

book review " Naked " Raine Miller


sinopsis

Brynne Bennett has left scandal in her past and is living the good life. An American grad student at the University of London and part-time photographic model, she’s getting back on track with lots of hard work and focus on a career in art conservation. When successful and charismatic London businessman Ethan Blackstone buys her nude portrait, he wants to possess more than just her image. He wants Brynne in his bed, serving him in every way possible. He has no trouble voicing his desires, and he isn’t taking “no” for an answer.

At first, his dominant nature captivates her, but it isn’t clear if the force of his powerful desire will ultimately awaken or dispel the demons Brynne is carrying inside. There are secrets on both sides of this relationship – huge ones.

book review " Reflected in you " by Slyvia day


Any worries I had about Reflected in You, the second book in Sylvia Day's thrilling, exciting, emotionally draining Crossfire Series, being in any way inferior to Bared to You (the first book in the series) were firmly laid to rest. Reflected in You is quite simply spectacular. I could not put this book down and ended up reading it twice in three days. This beautiful, damaged couple experienced some blissful highs and some heartbreaking lows. They take the reader on a exhilarating yet emotionally draining roller coaster. The continuing odyssey of Gideon and Eva got even more erotic, obsessive, raw, and emotional in Reflected in You. The story begins the morning after the last chapter's events in Bared to You. Reflected in You opens with Gideon Cross and Eva Tramell getting ready for work the morning after Eva left Gideon at the charity event. They're happy and playful. It's wonderful because these moments are so rare for them. Over morning coffee, Eva tells Gideon she and her bestie, the beautiful and charming Cary Taylor, need some one-on-one time so she can't accompany Gideon on a business trip to Arizona because they have planned a getaway. After a little resistance Gideon relents and doesn't fight Eva on her decision-- as long as they fly there on his private plane and stay in one of his hotels. Gideon goes on a business trip to Arizona and Eva and Cary go to Vegas. It's surprising –and a little out of character– for Gideon to acquiesce so gracefully, but he manages to compensate for his reluctant concession. As a man is hitting on Eva at Gideon's Vegas Hotel bar when she's getting drinks for her and Cary...

"Excuse me."
We both turned and faced the woman who had interrupted our conversation. She was a compact brunette who was dressed in a dark polo shirt embroidered with both
her name--Sheila-- and Cross Towers and Casino. The earpiece in her ear and the utility belt around her waist gave her away as security.
"Miss Tramell." She greeted me with a nod.
My brows rose. "Yes."

book review "Bared to You " By Slyvia Day



Bared to you is the first book in the Crossfire Series by Sylvia Day. It chronicles an intensely emotional and highly sexual romance between two incredibly independent and very damaged people who cannot resist their searing attraction to one another. In Manhattan, New York we are introduced to Gideon Cross, the gorgeous, elusive, black-haired, blue-eyed 28-year-old billionaire owner of Cross Industries. He's bold, blunt, savagely beautiful, sexy, and terribly damaged. Eva Tramell is 24 years old and still recovering from an incredibly violent childhood. She's the blonde, grey-eyed, petite, curvy, exquisitely lovely assistant to a junior account manager at an ad agency. Eva recently relocated from San Diego, Ca. to Manhattan with her best friend, a dazzlingly beautiful and self-destructive young man named Cary Taylor. From the moment their eyes collide in the lobby of The Crossfire Building (which he owns) Gideon and Eva experience a fiery sexual attraction.

Inky black hair framed a breathtaking face His bone structure would make a sculptor weep with joy, while a finely etched mouth, a blade of a nose and intensely blue eyes made him savagely gorgeous.
"Are you alright?"

book review "Walking Disaster " by JamieMcGuire



In my my review of Jamie McGuire's amazing Beautiful Disaster, I said in it was like crack. Well, her spectacular sequel, Walking Disaster, is a speedball of cocaine and heroine combined! I was euphoric, angry, depressed, insanely happy, and I was beyond addicted! Travis Maddox's scarred psyche + a deep soulful love + maintaining that love through sheer force of will = the trifecta of amazingness! There were some seriously painful moments but they were brilliantly balanced with moments of pure hilarity. There were so many LMAO moments I'm sure I did permanent damage to my stomache muscles because of laughing so hard and so often. Being in Travis' head was painful, fascinating, and funny as hell! This boy's psyche needs to be in the Louvre – because it's a work of art!

After spending sixty seconds in the pigeon's presence, I discerned two things: she didn't talk much, and when she did she was kind of a bitch. But I don't know... I kind of dug that about her.
Seeing Abby sit across the table, cranky and annoyed, cheered me right up. 
 The door slammed, and Shepley's shoulders tensed. Those moments bothered him. I, on the other hand, had a shrew [Abby] to tame..."
