One More Chance

Rosemary Beach Series

Chance #2

By Abbi Glines

Synopsis

Grant Carter did everything in his power to convince Harlow Manning that he was a good guy. More than a smooth-talker and someone she could trust. He had to overcome his reputation as a playboy, and his history with Harlow’s half-sister, Nan, a woman with a reputation of her own.

Harlow had taken the chance, falling hard and fast for the guy who thrilled her with his all-consuming desire. After a lifetime of avoiding bad boys like Grant, she had opened herself to the possibilities of love…

But a life-changing secret has torn them apart, and now Grant and Harlow must decide if they have enough fight to make it work – or if the pain of betrayal has permanently destroyed their future.

Michel’s Review

The Rosemary Beach gang is back in Abbi Glines latest release of One More Chance. It is the sequel to Take A Chance and features Grant Carter and Harlow Manning.

Readers were left with a cliffhanger in Take A Chance. Grant and Harlow had finally come together and developed a heated relationship. Grant’s insecurities and fears about death and losing someone he loves destroyed their relationship and drove Harlow away. We were left with this couple separated and very little chance of reconciliation. Readers were devastated and left wanting this couple to resolve their issues.

One More Chance is the perfect title for the sequel of Take A Chance. The book opens with Grant groveling through phone messages. Harlow has disappeared from Rosemary Beach and Grant wants to make amends and fix his mistakes.

Harlow had to escape Rosemary Beach and the paparazzi. It is no longer a secret that she is rocker Kiro Manning’s daughter. She is heartbroken. She also has a secret that Grant will never accept. She is pregnant. With her heart condition this pregnancy could kill her. She is afraid to tell Grant because of his fears. She knows he will not want her to have this baby. She is determined to give this baby life, even at the cost of her own.

Surprisingly Grant grew the backbone and strength he needed to support Harlow. Although he did not want her to have this baby, he overcame his fears and came to terms with fatherhood. The care and devotion he gave Harlow was breathtaking. He became the man that readers wanted him to be.

Harlow and Grant’s new life together is not easy. They are having to deal with Harlow’s health issues, her pregnancy, blending their lives together, the paparazzi, Kiro Manning and his issues, and the people from Rosemary Beach. This couple pulls together and shows the readers how amazing their love for one another is. They are ready to show their baby the love they have built together. They are going to be the perfect family. That is if Harlow survives.

Grant and Harlow are facing the hardest challenge two lovers will ever face. They are both strong people and have built a very strong foundation.

I absolutely loved the conclusion to Grant and Harlow’s story. Through the phone messages and letters, Abbi Glines delivered a story that will engage all of your emotions. Not only did we see a beautiful romance grow into a strong lifetime love. We witnessed the growth of these two characters as individuals as well as a couple. Through their phone messages and letters we got to get inside their hearts.

I loved that we got to see the strength and support from the gang in Rosemary Beach. Even Nan gave us some big surprises. New characters were introduced into their world. We also got a little build up of what is to come next in the Rosemary Beach series.

I absolutely love the Rosemary Beach series and cannot wait for more. Tripp and Bethy are going to steal our hearts just like their friends have.

I highly recommend One More Chance and the Rosemary Beach Series by Abbi Glines.

Review: Jag by Stevie J. Cole- Pandemic Sorrow Series- Book 1

Posted on 09/18/2014 by shellbellereads

Jag

Pandemic Sorrow Series- Book 1

By Stevie J. Cole

Synopsis

WARNING: This novel contains explicit language, sexual situations, and is the story of an addict. This material is intended for a mature audience.

“My name’s Jag Steele. I’m the lead singer and guitarist to the band Pandemic Sorrow, and I have a drug problem. Well, I mean it’s not really a problem – unless you count the fact that I almost made my heart explode from all the blow I shoved up my nose a few weeks back…”

That was my introduction during my first stint in rehab. I’m messed up. If you asked anybody who I am there’s a list they will go down: Famous, rock star, legend, drug addict, womanizing man-whore, but if you asked me, I wouldn’t have the first idea of what to say, because I don’t know who Jag Steele is. Really, I’m living every other damn person’s dream, and all I want is reality.

Roxy Slade, that girl was my reality. My brutally flawed and beautifully broken reality. And she hated everything I stood for. To her I was just one of “those guys”, and she’d rather be buried alive with poisonous snakes than give someone like me a piece of toilet paper to wipe their ass with. Brutal. Life. Is. Brutal. And it is just a giant pain, which is why I chase after anything to make it numb, anything that can fill this void. I just want anything that can make me not feel. I just don’t want to feel.

Lis’ Review

“I was too weak for fame, but she didn’t care. She broke me, and I tried to let drugs mend me…. I like to think of fame as a metamorphosis. You get all wrapped up in it, almost like a cocoon… I had no idea how to handle fame, so, unfortunately, fame handled me.”

Jag Steele is a rock god.. just ask him. He’s the lead singer of Pandemic Sorrow, he’s got more money, fame, and females than anyone should have, and he thinks he’s invincible. You want to cheer for him when you meet him at the beginning of the book. He’s just come out of rehab and he’s feeling pretty damn good about himself. Sure, rehab was a breeze and life is still his oyster. He’s not an addict, he’s the king of the rock world. So what’s a little snort, one more drink, he’s been “cured” hasn’t he? We go with him to his first real interview after rehab, where simple questions are so damn difficult to answer that he starts to fall apart, and we see the tip of the iceberg that is Jag Steele. Through this book, we live his life as he does, desperately seeking that one thing that will make it all worthwhile.

This book is not the sugar-coated version of life as a rock star that seems to be the norm in books. Stevie J. Cole has written a gritty story, complete with characters you actually hate. The way she paints the scenes, you are as excited as those four young men were when they got the record contract; you are as desperate as the band manager who forces drugs on his musicians to keep the money coming in; you are as bitchy and self-serving as Jag’s former girlfriends who each chip away at his very soul in order to make themselves important. And finally, you rejoice with Jag when he finds the one female who says no, the one who says she doesn’t want him yet needs him to mend her shattered soul as much as he needs her to do the same.

Roxy has her own demons, her own issues, and while she starts out as kind of a cliché, the challenge that Jag can’t resist, you just know that Ms. Cole is not going to wrap this all up in a big pink bow with happily ever after. Her suffering is just as real as his, her issues just as serious and her coping mechanism just as destructive. Both of them are like two lost children in adult bodies, trying desperately to deal with the world until they literally crash into each other. What attracts them to each other is the exact thing that tears them apart… the inability to deal with their feelings.
“Everybody’s broken, chipped, damaged, and we just have to find the one person that can accept our flaws and love them… Sometimes it takes loss to make people realize how big of a mess they are without someone.” As Jag experiences love for the first time, as Roxy allows her hard shell to crack, betrayal shatters everything. Ms. Cole doesn’t shy away from the ugly side of addiction so you never really know what to expect with the story of Jag and Roxy until the very end. As a reader I laughed, cried, cursed, loved and hated through this book. And yes, even felt the numbness of Jag’s life, all through the exquisitely crafted word pictures the author gave me. I felt it all, right along with the characters, every outrageous high and screaming low. I cheered and cried and in the end I would read it all over again just to be able to say Yeah, Jag Steele always keeps his promises.

Author Bio:

I have been a fallen angel, a vampire, a confused twenty-something year old struggling through a crappy job, a jealous and deranged x-lover of a damned soul, and currently I’m an internationally sought after rock star with a slight addiction problem. All thanks to the characters I have written.

I enjoy the escape writing allows, and fully enjoy weaving a tale and creating crazy characters. When I’m not writing I am cuddling with my two sweet little girls and listening to my husband play his guitar (swoon). Some trivial fact about me would be: I love the color pink, I adore sloths, and I have a thing for British accents. My biggest fear is completely irrational, but I can’t help it. The thought of the pending zombie apocalypse absolutely creeps me out.I honestly can not imagine a more horrifying way to be blotted out of existence than by the hand of a decaying, oozing corpse with festering gums and clicking teeth. Ugh. That just gave me chills.

I hope if you read my books you will enjoy them and will be sucked into the little world I have created with words. After all, writing is the most amazing magic trick in the universe because it allows the reader to crawl inside the mind of the author. If you really think about that … it’s kind of disturbing.

Review: Under His Wings by Naima Simone

Under His Wings

Dark Judgement Series- Book 1

By Naima Simone

Synopsis

Dark Judgment, Book One

Warrior, lover…savior. A winged avenger with chocolate feathers and lavender eyes haunts Tamar Ridgeway’s dreams—her erotic escape after surviving a horrible plane crash and enduring years of painful physical therapy. But fantasy becomes terrifying reality when she’s attacked by a mythical creature from her darkest nightmares. Now her sexy dream warrior is vowing to save her, whether she wants his protection or not.

Nicolai Abioud, judge and executioner of the hippogryph, is stunned when the woman he rescues is the same who submits to him nightly in his dreams…and a replica of his dead wife. He’s fascinated by her beauty and spirit, consumed by the craving to touch…to take. Yet he lost his one true bondmate five hundred years ago. And falling for a human—no matter how beautiful—is a foolish risk. But the choice to love may be snatched away. Danger is closing in. They must conquer their enemy and fears, or be doomed to lose the love of a millennium.

Buy: Amazon / Barnes and Noble

Tracey’s Review

Tamar Ridgeway has been through a lot in her young life. She’s well aware that darkness exists, so she has done her best to create a life that she loves to combat the despair and loneliness that she has dealt with. Nicolai Abioud is a true warrior, tasked with the responsibility of enforcing the law among the hippogryph race. When he and Tamar meet, everything that they believe about their worlds will be challenged.

Tamar and Nico have been meeting in their dreams for the past three years. Having suffered loss and dealt with an abusive relationship, Tamar finds solace, strength, passion, and acceptance in her nightly meetings with Nico. For Nico, Tamar is a reminder of his bondmate, the woman that he loved, who was taken from him by one of his own, a former friend and companion in the hippogryph elite. When circumstances arise that bring them together in the real world, they must work together to bring down the rogue hippogryph that threatens them both, and, at the same time, decide what they mean to each other. I am a big fan of paranormal romance, and so was thrilled to have the chance to read ‘Under His Wings.’ I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but the story grabbed me from the very beginning, and I couldn’t put it down. Naima Simone has taken a fantastical subject and created an engaging and enjoyable story that is not like any I’ve read. I look forward to reading more of this series.

Author Bio:

I was born the daughter of a sharecropper… Okay, maybe not. But I am the daughter of a pastor from whom I inherited my love of romance. The man can preach a mean Song of Solomon! (There’s that plug, Daddy! You can pay me later!)

Although my first book starred a cucumber named Fred, my first romance came several years later in the seventh grade, when I wrote myself as a heroine opposite Ralph Tresvant from New Edition. Through the power of my pen and imagination, Ralph took one look across a crowded stadium, met my dark, mysterious gaze, fell passionately in love, and serenaded me in front of millions of fans. Out of all the girls in the world, he chose me! And of course, we lived happily ever after–once we had the inevitable fight, aka black moment, and made up with a passionate declaration of love and fidelity. This same story reincarnated itself many times over the years: with Donnie Wahlberg from New Kids on the Block, Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, and as recently as last night, Vin Diesel.

Though the characters have changed, my love of love has endured. Shaping the lives of unique men and women who experience the first hungry bites of lust, the dizzying heights of passion, and the tender, healing heat of love–nothing compares to it. Except maybe discovering new material for love scenes with my husband, the head of Research & Development!

Robin’s Review

****This review will contain spoilers if you have not read Happenstance Part 1.

When I read and wrote my review for Happenstance, I believed the story written by Jamie McGuire was a stand-alone novella. I recently learned this was not the case, when I discovered that Happenstance is actually a young adult novella series. Through the course of events surrounding the tragic accident that took the life of Erin Alderman, we were able to learn that Erin Easter was raised in the wrong home, having been switched at birth. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that we will be able to read more about Erin Easter as she adjusts to her life as the true daughter of Sam and Julianne Alderman.

Imagine the changes that might take place in your life if you learned you were switched at birth. Not only has Erin Easter lacked a parental support system, but she has lacked being loved. She has essentially raised herself, having been neglected by her mother. Erin has been working at Dairy Queen to earn spending money and to save for a college education. All of these circumstances combined have made Erin very mature for her age. Happenstance Part 2 focuses on the aftermath of the tragedy and changes to her life, going forward. Erin has been taken in by her biological parents, one of the wealthiest couples in Blackwell. She suddenly has a new bedroom in a new home. She now has parents who care about her emotional and physical well-being. Sam and Julianne want to provide for her and make up for lost time. Erin Easter finds herself literally walking in Erin Alderman’s shoes.

Bullying continues to be the primary issue of the Happenstance novella series. Erin is still being bullied, although the focus of the bullying has changed with her new circumstances. It remains a mystery to Erin why her best friends, Erin Alderman and Erin Masterson, turned on her in the fifth grade, but she is about to uncover the hidden truth with the discovery of Erin Alderman’s journals. And, although her relationship with Weston Gates has progressed, he seems to be holding on to his own secrets.

Happenstance Part 2 follows on the heels of a very strong first novella. In my opinion, this second novella started off slowly, with the beginning of the story primarily focusing on the changes taking place in Erin’s life. However, the author definitely captured my attention about halfway through the story. I found myself intrigued by the contents of the journals and the truth of what they revealed. Sometimes the truth isn’t so straight forward, creating more questions than answers. Although Happenstance Part 2 is not as strong as the first novella in the series, I did enjoy reading it. My rating is 4 stars. I look forward to what I think will be a fantastic ending to this series!

ARC Review: What If by Rebecca Donovan

Posted on 09/17/2014 by shellbellereads

What If

Genre: YA / New Adult

By Rebecca Donovan

Synopsis

A new novel by the USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Breathing Series . . .

What if you had a second chance to meet someone for the first time?

Cal Logan is shocked to see Nicole Bentley sitting across from him at a coffee shop thousands of miles from their hometown. After all, no one has seen or heard from her since they graduated over a year ago.

Except this girl isn’t Nicole.

She looks exactly like Cal’s shy childhood crush, but her name is Nyelle Preston and she has no idea who he is. This girl is impulsive and daring, her passion for life infectious. The complete opposite of Nicole. Cal finds himself utterly fascinated-and falling hard. But Nyelle is also extremely secretive. And the closer he comes to finding out what she’s hiding, the less he wants to know.

When the secrets from the past and present collide, one thing becomes clear: Nothing is what it seems.

Michel’s Review

What If by Rebecca Donovan is one of those books that leaves the reader with lasting impressions and thoughts. It was meticulously written with a unique style. The story is told through multiple POV. It is a story of childhood friendships that leave a lasting impression on the main characters as they leave childhood behind and become adults. Their connections throughout the story are memorable and the reader begins to understand how these connections mold the story into what it is.

We have all had those “What If” moments in our lives. We have questioned our actions and reactions to moments in life that have impacted our future. What If is the story of three girls and one boy that have a powerful friendship in their childhood years. As they begin to become young adults their lives start to take different directions. Their friendships start to drift into more of acquaintances. But below the surface those deep bonds of friendship will be with them throughout their lives.

One friend, Richelle has abruptly moved away and lost complete touch with the other three. Nicole has moved on to the popular crowd and left her old friends behind. Cal and Rae have managed to remain close.

A year after high school is where the story begins. Nicole has left to go to an Ivy League school. No one has heard a word from her since she left. She has dropped all communication with new and old friends.

Cal wonders what has happened. Rae could care less because she has anger issues towards Nicole for betraying their friendship.

A year later Cal comes face to face with a girl that is Nicole. But is that girl really Nicole? Her name is Nyelle and she is nothing like Nicole at all. Nyelle is a free spirit and spur of the moment kind of girl.

Thus begins the mystery of who Nyelle really is. Cal is determined to find the Nicole he once knew because she is his “What If” girl. As the story unfolds the reader gets more insight to what really happened. As Nyelle begins to lose her façade and Nicole begins to resurface, Cal is there to help her remember exactly who she is. Cal will take Nyelle as Nicole or Nyelle. He will take her anyway he can. He wants her back in his life. But as the story unfolds there will be revelations that will affect all the friends and their perceptions of what they thought they knew about life.

I found this was a lovely novel about the bonds of friendship. The evolution from childhood to adulthood. But I also found at times I was having a hard time keeping up with the multiple POV’s and multiple relationships each character had with the other characters. I also felt when the final “aha” moment was revealed I had a hard time buying it. I felt like Nyelle bordered on being insane. I felt like Cal sold himself short. I felt Rae seemed a bit insignificant in the whole scheme of things.

I am not sure if this book is YA or New Adult. It felt more like a YA book. While as a mature adult and seasoned reader I found the book somewhat unbelievable. My sense of reasoning just could not grasp it. But then I took a step back and thought about my teenage daughter and how her relationships are with her friends. I observed that she could grasp all the multiple POV’s and multiple relationships with great ease. I also could see how young people can walk away with a different perception of a situation than a mature adult would. Their perceptions of the world are new, fresh, jaded at times because of all the social media, and quite different because of our information type of society. Their coping mechanisms are different than the coping mechanisms we adults have had in our younger lives. With that being said I think Rebecca Donovan created a story that this audience will grasp and love.

I would highly recommend this book.

Book 3 of Violet & Luke saga

By Jessica Sorensen

Synopsis

Violet Hayes’s life is a mess.

He’s also fallen in love with Violet, but fears telling her the truth, that it will scare her away or worse, she won’t reciprocate the feeling. Plus, there never seems to be a right time to say it, either the case, Preston, or life getting in the way.

Can the two of them ever get enough peace in their lives to conquer their fears and finally tell each other the truth about how they feel?

Buy: Amazon / Barnes and Noble / ITunes

Excerpt

“I do trust you. Too much,” I whisper, shutting my eyes. “You could crush my heart if you wanted to.” The silence that follows is maddening.

Did I just say that out loud?

One…

Two…

Three…

Time feels endless as I wait for what comes next. I hear him shift on the seat, feeling him scoot closer

“Violet, open your eyes.” His breath dusts my cheeks.

I swiftly shake my head, smashing my lips together. “I can’t.” But I find myself opening my eyes anyway and he’s so close, only inches away from me.

“I would never ever hurt you,” he promises, his hand gently cupping the back of my neck, fingers spreading across my skin. His touch sends a shot of tingles across my flesh and causes me to shiver as he guides me toward his lips. But I’m already leaning in, an invisible current pulling me toward him, like two magnets about to collide.

When we do crash into one another, it’s dangerously intoxicating, steals the air from my lungs, and sends my heart slamming in my chest. I’m already falling again to that place where I feel helpless yet safe. Emotions press their way to the surface, this time too strong to ignore. It hits me like lightning, an electric current surging through my body, overwhelming heat that both brings me alive and kills me at the same time.

I think it’s then that I know what I’m feeling. The thing I’ve been trying to avoid for days now, and I’m both terrified out of my mind yet alarmingly at peace.

Michel’s Review

The Destiny of Violet & Luke

The Destiny of Violet & Luke is the first installment in Violet Hayes and Luke Price’s story. It can be read without reading the first two books in The Coincidence series. The previous books feature Callie and Kayden. There will be three books in the story of Violet and Luke.

The Destiny of Violet & Luke introduces the reader’s to the characters. We get a glimpse of their horrific childhoods, the scars the childhood left in their souls, and a full understanding of their destructive behaviors. Both came from completely different backgrounds with their own personal hells. Both have adopted destructive behaviors as coping mechanisms to get them through the pain and memories of the past. These destructive behaviors are escalating to the point of pure destruction. They are taking over what little control they have in their lives. They are the path that could very well lead to death. But destiny may have something different in mind for these two besides pain and death. Destiny may tie them together by one horrific night but it has also lead to find one another to ease their pain.

Luke Price has suffered an abusive childhood at the hands of his insane, drug addicted mother. His mother has abused him and his sister. The abuse eventually led to the suicide of his older sister and for Luke to turn to destructive ways to cope. He is closed off and has never shared his abusive past. His best friend Kayden has no idea of the horrors he has been subjected to. For Luke, fighting, gambling, alcohol, and women are his coping mechanisms. He is known as the elusive party jock on campus.

Violet Hayes witnessed her parents murder when she was five years old. The murders were never found. She has been shifted from one foster home to another. She has been rejected, abused, and neglected throughout her life. Her coping mechanism is danger and the adrenaline it brings. She is constantly flirting with death. She is closed off, extremely bitchy, and appears to be the campus slut. She is dealing drugs for her foster father. She is getting closer to the edge.

One fateful night brings Violet to Luke’s attention. She is jumping out of a window and literally lands on top of him. His sister committed suicide by jumping out a window. For some reason he wants to know why Violet, Callie’s dorm roommate, would be doing this. As he gets to know Violet and destiny throws them together several times, he realizes that he may have met a kindred spirit.

As the two get to know one another they find that they both need a place to stay for the summer. Neither can go home to their crappy families. They end up becoming roommates with Luke’s gay friends, Seth and Greyson. This odd group finds a way to not only live together but become friends that have each other’s backs.

The Destiny of Violet and Luke ends on a cliffhanger. Both are heading towards the worst kind of destructive that they will not be able to turn back from.

The Destiny of Violet & Luke gave a great introduction to this mysterious set of characters. Not only did we get to know these two troubled people, we also got to meet their friends (their books will be coming soon). This series has a great cast of characters that have their own personal demons to conquer. They come from different walks of life, have different responses to life in general, and capture the readers attention.

I highly recommend the The Coincidence Series by Jessica Sorensen.

Buy: Amazon / Barnes and Noble / ITunes

The Probability of Violet & Luke

Destiny has thrown Luke and Violet together once again. After Violet and Luke made the connection that his mother was involved in the murder of her parents, they went their separate ways. Violet couldn’t handle the pain and returned to her drug dealing foster father. It was the ultimate mistake and she realizes that she may have acted too compulsively. Her foster father wants more from her than dealing drugs for him. He is forcing her to do sexual things in order to keep a roof over her head. His abuse has also become violent. He manipulates Violet’s fear of being alone and fear of rejection. It reaches a point where Violet knows she has made a horrible mistake leaving Luke and returning home. She misses Luke fiercely. He had a way of making her feel safe, wanted, and understood. She was beginning to share her past and look to the future with Luke.

Luke was devastated when Violet left. He became very reckless with his drinking and gambling. He is pushing his own hard limits. When his gambling gets him into deep trouble, Violet is there to witness it. She is determined to help him out of his mess. They go to Vegas to see Luke’s card shark Uncle to get the money Luke owes. But trouble seems to follow them wherever they go. They are learning their past coping mechanisms are no longer working.

When the Vegas trip turns into a complete disaster, Luke has no other choice but to call his father. The man he hates because he deserted him and left him with his mother. The man he will have to learn to trust in order to survive his mistakes.

While Luke is coming to terms with his gambling, drinking, and father, Violet’s troubles are escalating. Her parents murder case is back in the media, she is being threatened by an unknown stalker that was involved in her parents murder, and her coping mechanisms are no longer working.

Violet and Luke have finally established a real relationship. They have learned that they need each other in a way they never thought was possible. They are connected to each other by choice as well as destiny.

Can they survive the storm ahead?

This installment to Violet and Luke’s story reveals some of the mystery behind Violet’s parents murder. It also opens Luke’s eyes to the destructive path his life has been on. He wants to become a better person for Violet. He wants to be the one who is strong and there for her no matter what. He has realized that he is in love with her and wants her happiness no matter what. It is an intense story that shows how these two damaged people can find solace in each other. They can find their inner peace together. They can look at past relationships and mistakes in a whole new light.

I highly recommend the Coincidence series. You must read The Destiny of Violet and Luke before reading The Probability of Violet & Luke. Their story is dark and powerful. They have led a very stormy existence and survived. Now they have to reach for the rainbow.

The Certainty of Violet & Luke

Wow! The conclusion of Violet and Luke’s story has finally released. The Certainty of Violet & Luke finally brought the peace and closure both of them needed in their lives. It gave them an understanding of why their destructive behaviors where not the answer and why they would no longer work. This book made them realize they needed something more than their relationship as it was. They needed to learn to reach out and trust other people. They needed to understand the importance of having any kind of relationship whether it be a romantic relationship, a friendship, a family relationship, or an outside relationship dealing with their lives. Most of all they needed to recognize that only they could fix their own problems. They had to take the helping hands that were offered. They had to open themselves up to others. Once they did that, their own relationship would grow by leaps and bounds. They would have the love and security they always needed.

The Certainty of Violet & Luke was a powerful book about healing, closure, letting go of the past, and moving forward in life with a positive outlook. It was their destiny to be together and find the love they needed.

I highly recommend The Coincidence Series. The Destiny of Violet and Luke and The Probability of Violet and Luke must be read before reading The Certainty of Violet Luke.

Violet and Luke were strong characters that captured the readers attention. The other characters in this series are just as captivating as Violet and Luke. Each of these characters is being featured in this series. I am looking forward to seeing their stories come to life.

Review: Saddles and Sins by Jesse Evans

Posted on 09/16/2014 by shellbellereads

Saddles and Sins

Lonesome Point Series- Book 2

By Jessie Evans

Synopsis

A sinfully sexy romance from New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Jessie Evans.

Even sweet cowboys have a sinful side…

Robert Lawson–Bubba to his friends–is six feet, four inches of tall, dark, and handsome cowboy, with a panty-melting voice and a face made to launch a country music career. But when his family’s ranch hands go down with the flu, Robert cancels his high-profile auditions in Austin, and returns home to Lonesome Point to help out. Fortune and fame are all well and good, but family and friends come first. Besides, he’s ready to enjoy some off-the-clock time with his manager, a woman who has him dying to show her what a good man can do to a woman when he’s given permission to be bad.

Marisol Medina has been looking for her golden ticket since she became a country music manager. A scandal with one of her clients nearly destroyed her, but now she’s close to launching an artist who will make her career. Robert Lawson has it all–talent, charisma, and a naughty side that flicks all of Marisol’s kinkier switches. But Robert is off limits. She refuses to mix business and pleasure, even if it will be hell resisting temptation while spending a week at the Lawson family ranch, doing her best to convince Robert to ditch the saddle and embrace his future as a star.

But as Marisol and Robert grow closer and the passion between them ignites, Marisol must decide if fear is stronger than love, or if a chance at forever is worth breaking all her rules.

Tracey’s Review

Life is about to change for Robert ‘Bubba’ Lawson in a very big way. The success he’s long dreamed of is on the horizon, and there is no one he’d rather share it with than Marisol Medina. Marisol, Bubba’s manager, is a real pepper pot, a go-getter with a feisty attitude and the drive to help Bubba break into the country music scene. She also happens to drive him wild, and the feeling is very mutual.

I cannot even put into words the love that I feel for Robert ‘Bubba’ Lawson. Jessie Evans has written a sweet and sexy cowboy that, if possible, is even hotter than all of her previous men, and that’s saying quite a lot! I mean, swoon city. Not only is Bubba an awesome friend, as he showed us in ‘Leather and Lace’ (Lonesome Point Book 1), he is also a genuinely nice guy. Did I mention that he’s panty-meltingly hot? And talented? And smart? And quite possibly the most fabulous boyfriend ever?

I picked up this book and, as with all of Jessie’s books, could NOT put it down. Once I really met Bubba, there was nothing to do but hang on for the ride as he swept Marisol off her feet and broke down every wall that she tried to put up. He is not afraid to lay everything out there, and to make Marisol’s not-so-vanilla fantasies a reality. For real, where can I get my own Bubba? I’m afraid that Jessie may have spoiled me for other book boyfriends…I obviously cannot say enough about how much I loved Saddles and Sins, and I absolutely cannot wait for Tulsi’s and Pike’s story in Diamonds and Dust.

The Lonesome Point, Texas series. Hot Texas days, hotter Texas nights:

LEATHER AND LACE

SADDLES AND SIN

DIAMONDS AND DUST

GLITTER AND GRIT

Release Day Blitz + Review + Giveaway: Indiscretion Vol. 4 by Elisabeth Grace

Posted on 09/15/2014 by shellbellereads

Indiscretion Volume 4

Indiscretion Serial

By Elisabeth Grace

The image was seared into my mind. Imprinted. Emblazoned. Etched.

Did I blame him for what I saw? Or myself, for allowing him the ability to cause the pain coursing through me?

Betrayal was a weapon that cut to the core—the ‘what ifs’ the infection that festered in the wound.

I’d thought we’d had roadblocks thrown in front of us before. Damn. Those would have seemed like mere speed bumps if I’d seen what was coming…

Little did I know that what was headed our way would prove to be the biggest test of all—putting impossible choices in front of us. None of which seemed to lead to a happy ending in which the two of us were together.

Michel’s Review

Wow! After the first three volumes in the Indiscretion series by Elisabeth Grace being 5 Star reviews , I was anxiously awaiting for the final volume. I was expecting drama, suspense, more erotic moments between Max and Chloe, and finally their happily ever after. While Elisabeth delivered all of these elements, she took this series down an unexpected lane. She absolutely blew me away.

Indiscretion Volume 4 was one of the most emotional books I have read. The love between Chloe and Max was pure and exhilarating. Their devotion to one another through unforeseen circumstances that would break most couples was astonishing. Their journey to happily ever after was a heart wrenching road with many obstacles to overcome. The unexpected roadblocks broke my heart. At times they both found themselves lost and alone on a dark scary path that seemed to have no ending. But somehow these two managed to find that fork in the road that led them back to one another. In the end, Max and Chloe found their way back to each other and chose to journey through life together.

I really can’t say more about this final installment in this series. It is a powerful ending for this beautiful couple. Elisabeth Grace’s writing was superbly executed and made me an emotional wreck. I cried like a baby, laughed like a hyena, cussed like a sailor, and swooned like a damsel in distress. I was very moved.

I highly recommend the Indiscretion series by Elisabeth Grace. It is unpredictable and highly emotional. It has all the wonderful qualities that readers look for in good books. The writing is superb, the characters are enthralling, and the plot took me by surprise.

Bad Son Rising

The Needing More Series- Book 4

By Julie A. Richman

Blurb:

People think I’m a douche.

And maybe I am.

I use most people.

It’s what I know.

But if I love you,

I’d die for you.

I just don’t know that I’m worth loving.

Handsome, privileged bad boy Zac Moore has always played by his own rules – at school, in business, with women. He’s rewritten the rules to suit his own needs and his needs are all that matter.

Serious and focused family friend Liliana Castillo has one goal. Leave the pre-Med program at Yale to help people in developing nations.

As their paths cross and uncross, a tale of love, agony, betrayal and growth is woven, transforming two people who’ve hidden from relationships and love.

This is a stand-alone novel.

Buy: Amazon / Barnes and Noble / ITunes

Excerpt:

“Lils, I don’t know that I’m great boyfriend material. I’m used to being a dick. It’s what I know.” He was hoping she’d say something, but she didn’t. “But I would want it to be different with you. You’re not a drive-by. And I don’t really know how to do the other stuff. But you make me want it. You make me want to try.”

Sweeping her hair to one side, he buried his face in her neck.

Finally, she spoke, “Are you saying this to me because we’re stuck here? Because if you are, don’t. I don’t want a one night stand with you, Zac.”

Letting his teeth graze the soft skin of her neck, he felt her shiver, “I don’t want a one night stand with you either and with my track record I know that may be hard to believe. And of course the one girl I want to believe it, doesn’t.” Pulling his mouth away from her delicious tasting neck, he rested his chin on her shoulder.

“Ok, I’ve got nothing to lose here,” he began. “The weekend we met, all I wanted to do was make you notice me,” he laughed, “and you didn’t even know that I was alive. I wanted to make you smile, Lils. Isn’t that crazy. I just wanted to make you smile.”

Turning herself fully within the circle of his arm, she was on her knees facing him, “You wanted to make me smile?”

He nodded.

“I was so miserable. I just wanted to be over here. I didn’t want to be back at Yale.” Surprising him, she placed her hands on his cheeks, “And you wanted to make me smile?”

He nodded again.

And there it was, beautiful and elusive, and Zac could feel his emotions rising dangerously close to the surface. Liliana Castillo had a heart stopping smile and the only thing he could do was return it with one of his own.

Michel’s Review

I have been reading the Needing Moore series from the very first day Julie released Searching For Moore. I was blown away by the characters and their story. I needed more and became addicted to this series. Julie A. Richman delivered a mature romance that spans over twenty years. From the beautiful young love romance to the painful separation that spanned over twenty years, the readers experienced an emotional story. The entire series touched on some very realistic situations and realities that most people experience at some point in their lives or they know someone who has. By allowing her characters to experience these realities it made the series much more credible and personal to the readers. One of those realities was the rebellious teenage son. The son that objected to his parents divorce and acted out in the most horrific ways to prevent the divorce. He almost killed his father’s girlfriend in a fit of anger. The readers absolutely loathed this kid. It was impossible to believe that this kid could be redeemed and become a human being people actually liked. But Julie wielded her magic pen and as the series evolved we got to see this young man slowly begin to turn around. By the end of the trilogy we were astounded that he had come so far but were still a bit leery of trusting the changes. She gave us some insight into some of his other issues outside his parents separation and new lives. Now the readers are going to meet the real Zac Moore in Bad Son Rising.

I was sucked into Zac Moore’s story in the very first paragraph. As Bad Son Rising begins, Zac has now graduated from high school and is now in college. He has established a good relationship with his father’s new wife. He adores his younger brother and sister. He has become a part of the new family unit instead of being a hostile outsider. He recognizes the true meaning of love and what real happiness really means. He is happy that his father has finally found his true happiness. While Zac is in a better place mentally than he was in his earlier teen years, he is still not one hundred percent happy. He appears to be this over confident, smart, good looking young man with a bright future ahead of him. Beneath the surface, Zach has some low self esteem issues that have made him feel unlovable. He has suffered sexual abuse in his early years and has found that sex is mere act to deflect from his insecurities. He’s never had a real steady girlfriend or relationship. He doesn’t really date, he just has sex. He has not learned to trust others with the true Zach that hides within. Only a few friends have had a glimpse of who he really is.

When he meets Liliana Castillo his views on love and life begin to change. For the first time he wants to be the giver in a relationship rather than the taker. For the first time he wants to show someone he can be a better man. For the first time he is letting the real Zac out of his cage.

In Bad Son Rising we will witness Zac go from a party college boy to a brilliant engineering student. We will see his loyalty to his friends and family. We will witness his screw ups and mistakes. We will watch him take responsibility of his actions and life. We will watch him fall in love and make ultimate sacrifices for the woman he loves. In the end we will see a noble young man that has earned respect and love.

I feel like a parent or aunt that is so proud of their child. Zac Moore is very dear to my heart and I think I am just as proud of him as Schooner Moore is. As I finished this book I had tingly goosebumps all over.

Thank you Julie for giving us The Bad Son Rising. We have embraced Zac into our hearts. We are so proud of the man he has become!

Posted on 09/15/2014 by shellbellereads

Boarded By Love

Bellevue Bullies – Book 1

Spinoff of The Assassin’s Series

By Toni Aleo

Synopsis

Jude Sinclair here, hockey player for the Bellevue Bullies and lover of all ladies. Hockey’s in my blood, and not to sound full of myself, but I’m good at it…really good. The draft is within my reach—it’s mine to take—but that’s not the only reason people know my name. They know me because of my way with women. They know the score, and I aim to please. I just tend to stay away from repeat performances. In other words, I don’t do relationships beyond my family and friends. I’m happy with life. However, I should warn you that my story and how I see it playing out is about to change due to a certain redhead on campus.

She’s beautiful. Stunning. Breathtaking.

She’s my game changer.

~*~

He’s trouble from the moment I see him. I don’t know what I’m thinking, but from the moment I meet his gaze, I’m his. It’s a scary feeling.

I’ve never trusted anyone outside my aunt and uncle—and even that took months. I didn’t have it easy growing up. My mom was usually strung out, and she didn’t give me a second thought. Drugs and the men who paid her were more important to her. It was horrible, but I’m stronger today. Because of my past, security is what I need most. Money assures me that I can take care of myself today, tomorrow, and next month. I don’t want to ever be hungry or go without again, so I work hard for every penny.

Oh, by the way, I’m Claire Anderson. I’m a hard-studying sophomore at the University of Bellevue, dancer for the school dance team, and a burlesque dancer at a club, but that’s my secret.
You may think you know how our story ends, but you have no clue. It’s not easy falling in love… or living happily ever after. At first it may seem so, but when is anything worth having ever won without a fight?

Especially when you’re boarded by love.

Excerpt

I can still taste her on my lips.

I swear. The taste hasn’t left me since I kissed her less than twenty-four hours ago, neither has the hard-on. She has me completely wound-up tight, whacking off till my dick is raw and wishing like hell to get in her pants. When I walked in to find her in only a sports bra and shorts that should be illegal… Well, I’m surprised I’m still vertical.

God, she is fucking hot.

Her long red hair is in a mess on top of her head with a cute little black bow at the base. She stands with such amazing confidence while the other girls cover their stomachs with their arms or slouch to the side, but not Claire. No, she stands proud, beautiful, and man, I just want to rush over there and touch her again. I still can’t believe she kissed me senseless then ran off without a second glance. While I don’t mind being used, I wasn’t done.

I need her. On me. Beneath me. Anywhere on me. Now.

I can’t take my eyes off her. I’m supposed to be watching some girl dance, but there is no way. Not with Claire in the room. She stands with the brunette from her Facebook. She’s even prettier in person, but she holds no candle to Claire. Hell, no one does. I watch as they talk, and the love just shines out of the brunette’s body for her. It’s crazy to watch. It reminds me of my mom’s love, and I figure it’s her mom. I need to ask because I have to know. I don’t know what it is about this feisty little redhead, but I want to know her ins and outs. Then I want to sleep with her. Continually. And then some more.

Michel’s Review

Boarded By Love by Toni Aleo was a fantastic start in the Bellevue Bullies series. It is the spin off of the Assassin’s series and features a college team located in Nashville, TN.

This novel features Claire Anderson, the troubled niece of Phillip Anderson, Assassin player featured in the Breakaway novel. Claire was a real troubled teen in the Breakaway novel and gave Phillip and Reese a very hard time. Her mother was a junkie that abused and neglected Claire throughout her childhood. Claire adopted her mother’s wild lifestyle until she went to live with her Uncle Phillip after her mother’s death. It took a lot of patience and unconditional love to bring this young woman around. Now she is on the right track. She is in college,dancing, and pursuing her dreams. She’s got herself together and is very focused. She wants to become a dance choreographer, preferably in the Burlesque style.

When she meets Jude Sinclair, captain of the Bellevue Bullies hockey team, she is knocked for a loop. It is the first time she has been attracted to someone in three years. He makes her want more than her dancing and future career. He gives her the love she never knew she needed. But will her dreams of Burlesque dancing and the route she is taking to secure those dreams keep Jude around for the long haul? She is afraid to tell him that she is working in a Burlesque club for fear of losing him. When the opportunity arises to make her dreams come true, she will have to come clean with her secrets and risk losing Jude. She will have to faith in their love. Trust doesn’t come easy for Claire.

Jude Sinclair is the Bellevue bad boy. He has a different girl in his bed daily. He is upfront with the girls and makes no promises. He’s sexy, hot, charming, and a very gifted hockey player. He will be going into the NHL draft soon and is focused on his hockey career. When he meets Claire Anderson, she changes his perspective on relationships. He wants Claire in his life and he doesn’t want to share her with anyone. She has stolen his heart. Claire is his game changer.

Boarded By Love was more than a new adult love story. Both Jude and Claire’s families played strong roles throughout the book. The reader saw a true glimpse of what real families are and how their relationships are important to a couple’s dynamics. We saw how these family relationships shape and mold their thoughts, feelings, and drives.

I loved all the characters in this book. They were very real and had an important role in the story. I loved seeing some of our favorite Assassin players make their appearance. I loved their protectiveness towards Claire and how they intimidated Jude. I loved Jude’s reactions to them.

While most New Adult books dwell on a lot of angst, indecision, and self reflection, Boarded By Love did not. Toni Aleo created characters that were very real and at the maturity level that they should be. Jude and Claire were very focused individuals, had good heads on their shoulders, and reacted just as they should have in all the emotional moments. Their relationship was beautiful. Toni allowed them to meet, flirt, date, and fall in love. She progressed their relationship in a way that most relationships progress in real life. It was beautiful watching Claire and Jude fall in love and tackle all the problems that came their way.

I can’t wait for the next book in this series. Like I said earlier, Toni created some interesting secondary characters. I am hoping the other Sinclair brothers get their own books. I am also hoping that Lucy Sinclair finds her true love, hopefully it will be an Assassin. The other team members and campus friends were intriguing as well. I think we have a lot to forward to in the future from Toni Aleo.

I highly recommend Boarded by Love.

My name is Toni Aleo!

I am a wife, mother of two and a bulldog, and also a hopeless romantic.

I have been told I have anger issues, but I think it’s cause of my intense love for hockey!
I am the biggest Shea Weber fan ever, and can be found during hockey season with my nose pressed against the Bridgestone Arena’s glass, watching my Nashville Predators play!
When my nose isn’t pressed against the glass, I enjoy going to my husband and son’s hockey games, my daughter’s dance competition, hanging with my best friends, taking pictures, scrapbooking, and reading the latest romance novel.
I have a slight Disney and Harry Potter obsession, I love things that sparkle, I love the color pink, I might have been a Disney Princess in a past life…probably Belle, and did I mention I love hockey?
