Until he attends the wedding of his friend and business partner Flynn Godfrey and meets AileenGifford, the close friend of Flynn’s new wife, Natalie. Since meeting Aileen five months ago, Kristian’s carefully cultivated life has changed in ways he never could’ve expected. Now Aileen and her children are moving to Los Angeles, and he’s not sure whether to be excited or terrified about his powerful feelings for the single mom…

Aileen is coming off the worst year of her life, spent battling breast cancer while taking care of two young children. When Natalie, Flynn and their other friends encourage Aileen to move to LA and work for Quantum, she jumps at the chance to give her family a fresh start. And with her off-the-charts attraction to Flynn’s business partner in the mix, the idea of living in LA becomes that much sweeter. Until everyone shows up to welcome her and the kids to their new home in LA—except Kristian.

He can’t avoid her forever, and when these two finally see each other again, sparks fly between the single mom and the producer with a past he’s kept hidden from everyone who matters to him. When that past rears its ugly head, will he run away from the woman he loves or turn to her for comfort in the storm? And will she prevail in convincing him that he can be himself, in every possible way, with her?

Michel’s Review

Delirious by M.S. Force is the sixth book in the Quantum series. Although many would say it could be read as a stand alone novel, I think the entire series should be read first because it gives the reader a better understanding and background the Quantum family dynamics, The Quantum club, and part of the Aileen’s journey to present day.

***

Aileen is a breast cancer survivor. She has spent the past year fighting for her life while trying to stay strong for her two children. When she came to L.A. it was more than starting over, it was bringing her closer to the support system she needed in her family’s life.

***

Aileen met Kristian at Natalie and Flynn’s wedding. Although they hit it off neither of them were in the right head space to begin anything. With Aileen moving to L.A. it brings her closer to Kristian. Kristian has more secrets than his lifestyle at the Quantum club, his past has left demons that can’t be exorcised. He has to confront those demons if he wants any kind of fulfilling relationship with Aileen.

***

Aileen has spent the last year with her life out of her control. Coming to L.A. is more than a new start, it’s taking the control back in her life. That includes choosing a relationship with Kristian and accepting his lifestyle and haunted past.

***

M.S. Force delivered more than the typical BDSM type romance. She created two dynamic characters who both have lived through horrific events in life and learned how to survive. She allowed them to reach for a better future with hope, peace, and love.

I think this is my favorite book in the series.

New Release … 5+ Star Review: Fraternize by Rachel Van Dyken – The Players Series – Book 1

Posted on 09/13/2017 by shellbellereads

Fraternize, an all-new sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller Rachel Van Dyken is LIVE!!

Fraternize by Rachel Van Dyken
Release Date: September 12th

Genre: Contemporary Romance

New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken kicks off a brand-new series in which romance is a game and love is a touchdown.

Emerson just made her dream come true as a professional cheerleader for her favorite pro football team. But even though the plus-size athlete is breaking down boundaries, she still has to contend with the massive rulebook. Carbs? Nope. Chocolate? Definitely not. Still, Emerson loves her curves, and she’ll rock the hell out of this job even if it kills her. Except for one mandate that is easier read than done…

No fraternizing with the players.

Problem one is Miller Quinton: Emerson’s first love, first sex, and the guy who still ignites her daydreams and R-rated fantasies. Thrown back together, Miller and Emerson feel the undeniable pull of passion again, even if the conflict that tore them apart seems insurmountable. Then there’s way-too-sexy Grant Sanchez. He has a serious reputation with the ladies, and when it comes to winning someone he wants, he doesn’t let anyone stand in his way.

Now Emerson is breaking every rule in the manual. But what she doesn’t know is that she’s part of a wicked little game—one that could steal both her dream and her heart.

Michel’s Review

Holy Smokes! Rachel Van Dyken has a new series, The Players, that is going to change the game. Fraternize is the first book in The Players series and it is a solid five star book that will leave readers wanting MORE! Yes it ended on a cliffhanger and I’m dying for the next book but I must say what takes place in this book is unlike anything Rachel has written. A love triangle that keeps the readers hearts ricochetting from one moment to the next. The ride is exciting, unpredictable, and emotional.

Emerson Ryder has achieved her dream, she has become an NFL cheerleader. She is not the typical cheerleader with the perfect body. She has curves and embraces her body shape wholeheartedly. The demands of professional cheerleading go beyond practices and games, there are rules and they are written in a manuel. From the dietary restrictions, surprise weigh ins, behavior modifications, the manuel rules her life. One of the biggest and most serious rules is no fraternizing with the football players. Emerson can accept and abide by these rules except the fraternizing one. A guy from her past is a player on the Bellevue Bucks and they have a steamy and stormy history. It also doesn’t help that there is another player that has staked his claim and set his sights on her.

Miller Quinton was her childhood best friend and first love. Their relationship took a dramatic turn when circumstances beyond their control changed the direction of both of their lives. Their communications were broken without explanation. They both blame one another but neither knows the truth about what happened. Assumptions led to heartbreak and hard feelings. Now they are once again in each other’s lives. Do they leave the past alone or do they start a new chapter in their story? Miller was Emerson’s greatest love and greatest heartbreak. She loved him with her entire heart and still has feelings for him. Should she let him become a part of her life or leave the past alone or does she move on to what’s being offered in her present life?

Grant Sanchez is the captain of the team and has set his sights on Emerson. Grant is drop dead gorgeous,charming, and a notorious player. He’s in full pursuit of Emerson, wearing her down one charming smile at a time. Beneath the charming surface lies a man who is thoughtful, kind hearted, respectful, and considerate. Emerson is falling and the only thing holding her back is Miller.

Emerson has a dilemma, does she embrace a new future or repair the broken past and embrace a new chapter? The choices are impossible because each man is equally deserving of her love.

Let me tell you, I fell hard for both men. I thought I had my heart set on one man until I hit the next chapter and then my heart was beating for the other man. I still can’t choose and am anxious to see what comes next.

I’m not a fan of love triangles but can honestly say Rachel Van Dyken knocked it out of the stadium with Fraternize and I’m waiting to see which man wins the championship!

New Release + 5 Star Review: Autoboyography by Christina Lauren

Posted on 09/12/2017 by shellbellereads

Autoboyography

A Mature YA LGBT Romance

By Christina Lauren

Buy: Amazon

Synopsis

Fangirl meets Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda in this funny and poignant coming-of-age novel from New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren about two boys who fall in love in a writing class—one from a progressive family and the other from a conservative religious community.

Three years ago, Tanner Scott’s family relocated from California to Utah, a move that nudged the bisexual teen temporarily back into the closet. Now, with one semester of high school to go, and no obstacles between him and out-of-state college freedom, Tanner plans to coast through his remaining classes and clear out of Utah.

But when his best friend Autumn dares him to take Provo High’s prestigious Seminar—where honor roll students diligently toil to draft a book in a semester—Tanner can’t resist going against his better judgment and having a go, if only to prove to Autumn how silly the whole thing is. Writing a book in four months sounds simple. Four months is an eternity.

It turns out, Tanner is only partly right: four months is a long time. After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class. And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him.

*****

Michel’s Review

LGBT romance is not usually by cup of tea but the synopsis as well as the author captured my attention. I am a big fan of YA romance and am the mother of two teenagers. I felt like I had an understanding of the maturity level as well as thought process in the teenage world. What I didn’t know much about was the religious aspect of this book.

This book was an eye opener because it gave me a better understanding of what many gay young people deal with on a daily basis within their families, among their peers, and society as a whole. Geographical locations do make a difference in how society accepts the gay community. In this case it was in Utah where the Mormon religion dominates the area. The Mormon religion is more than a religious practice, it has a strict moral code in which the practitioners follow in every aspect of life.

This book became more than two teenage boys struggling to find their place in life as gay men, it was a case of religion verses sexuality, family relationships verses religion.

Christina Lauren did an impeccable job delivering a honest portrayal of all these issues. They created an honest insight without delving into too much religion or too much gay rights issues. They created two dynamic interesting young men finding love in a very difficult time of their lives with very difficult life circumstances. They were sensitive with such matters and made the boys the most important part of this book.

I commend them for writing this book!

Release Blitz + 5 Star Review: Drunk On You by Harper Sloan – The Hope Town Series – Book 4

Posted on 09/12/2017 by shellbellereads

It was supposed to be fun.

A mutual use of each other’s bodies.

To be a ruse to the world around us.

I wanted to be free from my ex, and he wanted to escape his.

One drunken night turned a joke into a life-changing moment.

He warned me not to fall for him, and I should’ve listened.

He intoxicated me.

He made me crave him.

He ruined me.

In the end, I’ll never be the same.

Michel’s Review

Hope Town just got a little bit hotter with the latest release, Drunk On You by Harper Sloan.

Shane and Nikki have more in common than mutual friends. They are both dealing with stalking exes that have made their lives miserable. After dealing with the bad relationships, they are both dealing with moving on because their exes just don’t want to let go of their lives. The one thing they both want back is control over their lives and relationships.

Nikki is a sweet soul dedicated to her teaching career. Her ex cheated on her while they were in a four year relationship. She always put him first and herself second. After a year apart he has decided he wants her back and won’t take no for answer. She’s decided to take control of her life and next relationship. She won’t allow another man to walk all over her nor will she accept mediocre. She wants it all and wants it on her terms. In the meantime she is going to put herself back out there and enjoy life. That moment begins in the Dirty Dog when Shane gives her an unforgettable dirty dance.

Shane is dealing with his own troublesome ex who is persistent. He felt he lost control of his life when he was in a relationship with her. Her emotions and demands drained him dry. He’s ready for something more but it is going to be on his terms. He will dictate the when, the where’s, and the how’s. When he sees Nikki at the bar, he’s ready to put his plan into action.

What starts out as a night of fun with promised pleasure quickly turns into something sizzling. The only thing getting burned this time around is the sheets!

Drunk On You is the best book in the Hope Town series to date. This book had a bit of a light BDSM theme that was romantic and charming at the same time. I fell hopelessly in love with Shane and admired the person Nikki was.

They both deserved this happily ever after. I can’t wait to see who falls next in The Hope Town series. Great job Harper Sloan!

Harper is a NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL and USA TODAY bestselling author residing in Georgia with her husband and three daughters. She has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books, hibachi, tattoos and Game of Thrones. When she isn’t writing you can almost always find her with a book in hand.
