Garrett by Sawyer Bennett

Goodreads Summary:
Carolina Cold Fury star Garrett Samuelson never wants to miss out on a single minute of fun. Whether he’s playing hockey, hanging out with friends, or walking the red carpet with a new date on his arm, he lives every day to the fullest. When he meets Olivia Case, he sees someone who’s exactly his type—confident, sexy, smart . . . his next fling. But the more he pursues her, the more Garrett shares a side of himself that other women don’t normally get to see.


Olivia has been keeping a secret. While Garrett lives for the next thrill, Olivia’s not sure she’ll live to see the next day. She’s undergoing treatment for some serious medical issues, and she doesn’t have time for a relationship with no guarantees—especially one with a hot-as-sin womanizer who won’t take no for an answer. But as she gets to know the real Garrett, Olivia can’t help falling for him . . . hard. To reveal the truth would mean risking everything—but you can’t score without taking the tough shots.

My Review:
I was so excited for Garrett! After reading about him in Alex's story I knew I'd like him. The notorious man whore who likes his women. After he meets Olivia, his whole life changes. Garrett has that moment where everything slows down and that one person is the only thing that lights up a room. There is something about her that makes him want her. Olivia has a big secret though. One that is going to change her life and she isn't sure a relationship is the right thing to do. She spends most of the time at her job as a florist with her best friend. She wants to let go and be free for a little bit. Is Garrett the one for her to do that with?

Garrett is your typical man whore who likes to sleep with women but, not relationships. Olivia moves him in ways he hasn't felt. She does play hard to get at times. Garrett is up for the challenge. He gets what he wants right? Now Garrett has to deal with a new love in his life. Hockey used to be the one true love he had but, now things have changed. Especially when he finds out what is wrong with Olivia. How will he deal with this?

Olivia is a strong woman. She is going through a lot. A lot of things that people have a hard time dealing with. The thing that is wrong with Olivia hits close to home for me. Seriously, Olivia's story was sadder then I thought it would be. I was so surprise how Garrett acted when he found out. Sometimes love is so powerful it changes people. Garrett changed for the better.

I loved this book. It is another win for Sawyer Bennett. I am so excited for Zack's story!! Bring it on i am ready for it!

Goodreads Summary:
The Fates are cackling their bony asses off…

It’s been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they’ve given him have been violent and bloody–which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He’s got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.

Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy’s deal might be, but it’s a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her.

But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all.

Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.

The Arrangement Vol. 18 by H.M. Ward

Goodreads Summary:
THE SERIES WITH OVER A MILLION COPIES SOLD
Volume 18 in the New York Times Bestselling Arrangement Serials


Sean is the last person I expected to pull open the door to the Ferro mansion, and yet here he is. My plan turns to dust and blows away. After everything I went through, I'm back at the beginning, falling at the feet of the only man that can save me. 









My Review:
Holy crap what happened to Sean? This is a side we rarely get to see and for sure for not that long! A whole night of normal regular guy Sean! This was one of my favorite volumes of this series. We finally get to see inside Sean's Ferro home. It's as beautiful as I thought I would. Although the proposition that Sean gives to Avery is ridiculous! He wants to keep her safe my butt! He wants her but, doesn't want to commit to her. He can keep her safe if he tries. Where is this going to go from here? I have no idea. All I know is that I do not want Avery with Trystan!

Avery and Sean have such a great night in this one. So normal for the two of them. Actually romantic and passionate . Not weird and all about what Sean wants. I wish Sean would just get over it all ready and get with Avery. she needs him and he needs her. Hopefully after the way this one ended I hope he opens his eyes!

This one ended on one heck of a cliffhanger. I hope they get what they are all hoping for. Especially a happy ever after. With all they have been through.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ!! The Return by Jennifer Armentrout

We have been dying to bring you the Release Blitz for Jennifer L. Armentrout's THE RETURN! THE RETURN is a New Adult Paranormal Romance and is a part of Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Titan Series. Seth is looking to be just as dangerously delicious as we all hoped!!

 

Amazon | Barnes and Noble | iBooks | Booksamillion

THE RETURN Excerpt: I was a half-blood, but I was also the Apollyon, a child of a pure and a half, a union that had been forbidden for thousands of years because an Apollyon was more powerful than any pure or half could ever hope to be. And I always got to the traitors’ hideouts before they did, so the Sentinels were usually left with the cleanup, which I was sure absolutely thrilled them. The first to enter was a female half-blood dressed just as I was. Her black hair was pulled back in a neat little knot at the top of her head. She was older, probably in her mid-thirties. It was pretty rare for a Sentinel to live that long. Her dark skin paled as she stopped just inside the entrance. She clenched titanium daggers in her hands like she expected something vicious to pop out from under the bloody mess. The female Sentinel tipped her chin up, and the overhead light sliced across her broad cheekbones. She bore a jagged scar under her right eye, the skin lighter in tone. She saw me and froze. My smile widened. Behind her, another Sentinel rushed in, almost mowing her over. He saw me and whispered, “Seth.” He’d said my name like I was the monster under his bed, and I sort of liked that. Then another Sentinel and another rolled in. The fifth took one look at my interior design work and keeled over. Slamming his hands on his knees, he hurled up his dinner. Nice. Our society existed completely unknown to the average mortal and had operated under what was known as the Breed Order for thousands of years. The Order had been dismantled, which meant halfs were no longer forced to choose between becoming Sentinels—hunting down violent creatures, protecting pures, enforcing laws, and otherwise usually dying pretty damn quickly on the job—or servants, which was a job that really wasn’t a job, but more like slavery. Since then, many pampered pures had signed on to be Sentinels, making up for the loss of the halfs who’d pretty much said “screw this shit, I’m out.” This wasn’t necessarily a good thing. For example, the dumbass puking all over my blood-covered floor was a pure. When he straightened, his face a greenish hue, he backed away, shaking his head. “I can’t,” he gasped out. “I can’t do this.” Then he turned and hauled ass out the doors.
I sighed. This was why we couldn’t have nice things. THE RETURN Synopsis: The Fates are cackling their bony asses off... It's been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they've given him have been violent and bloody--which is kind of all right with him.

Title: Sweet Temptation 
Author: Wendy Higgins
Series Number: 1
Release Date: September 8, 2015

Goodreads Summary:
Bad boy Kaidan Rowe has never wanted for anything—money, popularity, musical talent…hot girls—but seducing them is part of his duty as a Nephilim, slave to the demon Dukes. As the son of the Duke of Lust, Kaidan has learned his father’s ways, becoming a master of passion, a manipulator of chemistry. Disobeying his father would mean certain death. Thankfully for Kaidan, he’s good at his job. And he enjoys it. 

Until he meets Anna Whitt—sweet, smart, feisty, and inexplicably good—the one girl seemingly immune to his charms. The daughter of a guardian angel and a fallen one, she has a certain power over him, one that makes him wish for more than he could ever deserve. 

Determined to save all the Neph from their dark lives as the influencers of sin, Anna joins forces with Kaidan to overcome the demons’ oppressive ways. In the light of her affections, Kaidan must undergo his toughest test of all, a battle of the heart.

Sensual and swoon worthy, this companion volume to the acclaimed Sweet Evil series from New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins, told from the perspective of the irresistibly sexy and mysterious Kaidan Rowe, gives readers revealing insights into his struggle, his intense connection to Anna, and most of all, the true emotions that drive him.

Author Note:
Sweet Temptation will encompass the entire trilogy in a condensed version, beginning with Kai's life before he met Anna, and taking readers through the epilogue of Sweet Reckoning. Sweet Temptation is a companion novel, not meant to be a stand alone story. It will definitely be a richer experience for those who have read the original trilogy.

My Thoughts:
OMG!! All three of the books in Kaiden's POV! Yes please! I need this book. This was one of my favorite series! 

ARC Review of Hero by Samantha Young

Goodreads Summary:
The emotional and unforgettable new romance from the New York Times bestselling author of the On Dublin Street series.

Alexa Holland’s father was her hero—until her shocking discovery that she and her mother weren't his only family. Ever since, Alexa has worked to turn her life in a different direction and forge her own identity outside of his terrible secrets. But when she meets a man who’s as damaged by her father’s mistakes as she is, Alexa must help him.

Caine Carraway wants nothing to do with Alexa’s efforts at redemption, but it’s not so easy to push her away. Determined to make her hate him, he brings her to the edge of her patience and waits for her to walk away. But his actions only draw them together and, despite the odds, they begin an intense and explosive affair.


Only Caine knows he can never be the white knight that Alexa has always longed for. And when they're on the precipice of danger, he finds he’ll do anything to protect either one of them from being hurt again… 

My Review:
Well, Samantha Young has done it again. She drew me in with a story of love and struggles. Love isn't always easy. Sometimes you have to fight for what you want. Alexa meets Caine at a photo shoot that goes wrong. Alexa's family pretty much destroyed Caine's and Alexa wants to make amends, to prove she is not her family. I swear Caine's vision must go red after he finds out who Alexa is. He just wants to make her life miserable to make up for her family destroying his. What Caine doesn't expect is that Alexa is insanely stubborn. She will do whatever it takes to prove to Caine that he is a better man then he thinks. Will Caine be Alexa's  white night or will he simple prove to her that this is nothing more then a tryst?

Alexa is a very strong woman. She is desperate to make amends with Caine but, the more time they spend together the hotter things get. Their relationship grows naturally. It wasn't insta love by any means. Alexa is seriously attracted to Caine and for good reason. He is a sexy god carved of the finest marble. They start quite the elicit affair. Their romantic trysts are super hot. I have a hard time figuring out why Caine won't just give in to Alexa. He is so stubborn!!! I was like, if he keeps pusing her away she will leave!! Some times it takes a serious event happening to make you reconsider everything you ever thought. When the one you love is in danger, everything changes. 

This book had everything. Love, sex, and danger, Which leads to edge of your seat moments and moments that will melt your heart. If you are a fan of Samantha Young than this is a must read! If you're not then it's time to start reading her books people!!

Amberlyn Reilly took a risk and found a new life in Ireland. She did something drastic and jumped in front of a loaded gun for the one she knew she couldn’t lose.

ARC Review of Life Before Damaged Vol. 5 by H.M. Ward

Goodreads Summary:
Money. Power. Sex. 

This can't be happening. Maybe storming off to the club and getting sloshed was a bad idea, but I couldn't handle all that's happened. Forget for a while, that's all I wanted. After dancing with the wrong guy all night I planned on forgetting everything troubling me while rolling around in his bed. The problem is the guy is Pete Ferro and I'm me. It's a horrible plan to get all sinful and sweaty with him, but it's exactly what I need. One night with no connections, no worries, and a guy who isn't after my money or my family. 

Screw it. I'm going to get lucky.





My Review:
Holy crap. Gina's life has taken a turn for the bat shit crazy. After being cheated on by Anthony she confronts her parents and him about it and lets just say it doesn't go like I thought it would. I imagined her dad as the kind of guy who would crush a man for being doing that. It was the complete opposite! He basically told them they were now engaged and boys will be boys! Are you kidding me! OMG! After the day that Gina had with Pete I was feeling pretty good but, after that I was so angry! By the end it Gina goes from one forced situation to another. Mrs. Ferro has a lot of balls to do what she did. Will Gina be able to live with herself?

I loved that Pete and Gina finally got a regular day together. Surprisingly it didn't go straight to sex and regret. They were like normal people getting to know each other. When Pete dropped her off at her house in front of her parents and Anthony I was like HA! Take that! I really wanted Gina to just kick Anthony in the balls a few times. Although the cat comments were quite awesome! 

What do I want to happen? I want Gina to have some control of her own life. the situation at the end of the book, in my opinion, is a little better then the previous situation. Not great because she still doesn't get to have her own life but, better. Her story is beginning to make more and more sense the more we see. Volume 6 should be seriously intense! Bring it on. 

Life Before Damaged Volume 4 by H.M. Ward

Goodreads Summary:
Money. Power. Sex.  


Just stay away from Pete Ferro. How hard can that be? But every time I turn around the man is there with that beautiful face and those wicked lips. He pins me in place with eyes that are fifty shades of blue. I become someone else, a woman who feels alive and defiant. I'm sick of being what everyone else wants. There's a woman inside of me screaming to break free, and I know just how to release her from her bondage. Every inch of me is excited, all I have to do is follow through. 








My Review:
Can I just say THANK GOD! I knew Anthony was a creep! Volume 4 just proved me right. Gina is having a hard time after trying to make Pete jealous at dinner. Her attempt to make Anthony "happy" at the table was kind of funny. I do feel bad for Gina though. She wants so desperate to be taken seriously by her father and by Anthony. Then something she never expected to happen, happens. This is something that could seriously change her life. It would also change her relationship with her family forever. Will she take this giant leap and do something for herself for once?

I know that Gina will end up with Pete but, I want it to be like now. Anthony is an idiot and made it way to obvious that he was in the relationship for his career and nothing else. Pete at least has some good qualities. Gina and Pete need to get it on already. It will do them both some good. 

I am curious to see where this goes from here. I have a pretty good idea but, will have to read Volume 5 ASAP. This has been my favorite volume in this series so far. I think it's because there is finally some moving forward for Gina.

Never imagining she would see him again, Jeanella has no idea what to do when fate steps in and thrusts Maxwell Knight into her life, just as things were beginning to change around her.
