Just What I Needed

The Need You Series – Book 2

By Lorelei James

Synopsis

The second sexy novel in the Need You series, from the New York Times bestselling author of the Mastered Series and the Blacktop Cowboys® Series.

Trinity Carlson might be having the worst day ever. And that was before she started drinking in a dive bar, right across from her ex and his new girlfriend. So when she finally decides enough is enough, she grabs hold of a hot, blond stranger and gives him the kiss of his life.

Walker Lund never expected that a chance at love would hit him right on the mouth. Since the moment his brother decided to settle down, Walker has been dodging his family’s hopes that he’ll do the same. He’s never been interested in following in anyone’s footsteps. But when he discovers his sexy assailant has given him a fake name and number he suddenly finds himself in the mood for a little hot pursuit…

Michel’s Review

The Lunds are back and burning up the pages. Just What I Needed by Lorelei James is the second book in the Need You series.

The Need You series is not your typical billionaire romance series. Lorelei James has put her own special blend to this insanely rich family. This mega rich family is completely normal. They are completely human, possessing their own quirks, strengths, and their own stamps of individuality that endear them to the readers. The family dynamics is the one thing Lorelei James does extremely well while creating a love story that stands on it’s own merit.

Just What I Needed starts with a bang that draws the reader into Walker and Trinity’s story. What proceeds is a slow, delicious build up to a charming story. Both Walker and Trinity have been emotionally wounded. Learning to trust, open up, and love again isn’t the easiest thing for either of them. Both are bent on forging their own ways in the world but their hearts are bent on merging their worlds together. With a nudge from fate, a little family interference, Trinity and Walker on the right path to happily ever after.

Lorelei James wrote a fun, sexy book to add to the Need You series. The personalities were larger than life and the steamy love scenes were blistering!

Release Blitz + 5 Star Review: Exiled by Jasinda Wilder – Madame X Trilogy – Book 3

Posted on 08/02/2016 by shellbellereads

Exiled

Madame X Trilogy – Book 3

By Jasinda Wilder

Buy: Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Jasinda Wilder presents the conclusion to Madame X’s thrilling saga of discovery.

My name is Madame X.
My heart is torn in two.
And now I have to choose…

Caleb is everything to her: lover, caretaker, the man who gave her life meaning when she had none. But as she seeks the truth about herself and her past, she discovers that unravelling Caleb’s web of lies might very well be impossible.

Logan is everything she never knew she wanted: freedom, joy, and a passion she couldn’t anticipate. But is Logan’s love enough to save her from herself, from Caleb, and from the tumultuous truth of her past?

Caught between two equally compelling men, X must make the ultimate choice. But there’s more at stake than just her heart…

__________________________

Michel’s Review

Exiled should not be read as stand alone novel. It should be read in series order.

Exiled by Jasinda Wilder is the powerful conclusion in the Madame X trilogy. Finally all the questions are answered and Madame X is finally free to live her life. The answers are not what readers are expecting and everything is not completely black and white.

Caleb Indigo has had complete control of Madame X’s life. What she thought was her history is nothing like the real truth. Her existence as Madame X is nothing more than a fabricated lie. Caleb has molded her into a woman that meets every one of his needs and agendas. He conditioned her to respond rather than react. He wants complete control of her emotions, opinions, and physical existence. His obsession with her goes beyond the four walls he has kept her imprisoned within.

Logan Ryder only wants what is best for Madame X. He wants to be her partner, friend, confident, and lover. He gives his love and support freely. He uses his wealth and power to help her find herself. He’s found her name and now it’s up to her to claim it.

Madame X has discovered that she is a person. Her emotions, feelings, likes and dislikes are valid. Her quest to find her real past is an emotional journey. Without her memories, she is a shell of a person.

Caleb is fighting to hold onto Madame X. Logan is fighting for the woman he loves. Madame X is fighting to become whole.

Madame X has taken a difficult journey that was meticulously plotted by Caleb, unexpectedly detoured by Logan, and ended with Madame X reaching her final destination, herself.

Jasinda Wilder wrote an intriguing trilogy that kept me glued to the pages. The characters were dynamic and charismatic.

I highly recommend the Madame X trilogy by Jasinda Wilder.

Release Blitz + 6 Star Review + 2016 Favorite : It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

It Ends With Us

By Colleen Hoover

Buy: Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis

Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.

Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.

As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.

With this bold and deeply personal novel, Colleen Hoover delivers a heart-wrenching story that breaks exciting new ground for her as a writer. Combining a captivating romance with a cast of all-too-human characters, It Ends With Us is an unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.

Robin’s Review

Spoiler Free Review

The newest novel from author Colleen Hoover is romantic and sweet. Heartbreaking and suspenseful. Hopeful and healing. Exhilarating and profound. Eye-opening. “Deeply personal” for the woman who wrote it. I heard whispers that this story would be different from anything Colleen Hoover had previously written. It’s true. It Ends With Us is far from her norm, and I strongly believe it may be her best work yet.

It Ends With Us is a story where past and present collide. It’s a refreshingly honest novel that stars a cast of three characters: Lily Bloom, Ryle Kincaid and Atlas Corrigan. Instead of giving a broad summary of what this story entails, I strongly encourage that you experience it without expectations of what you’ll be reading. Stay away from Facebook and other social media. Go in blind. Put your trust in Colleen Hoover and read It Ends With Us the way it is meant to be read. Like so many readers before me, I did, and I’m extremely grateful for my reading experience!

Colleen Hoover is a gifted author. She writes romance novels, but her stories are about so much more than love. Her novels are about characters who face difficult circumstances. It Ends With Us is a novel that has everything a seasoned reader loves to find in a quality new adult novel. Strong character growth. A powerful, emotionally charged plot. Romantic chemistry that will put you on the edge of your seat. Outstanding character dialogue and flawless writing. At times while I was reading, my heart felt bruised, but in the end, I found this story completely fulfilling.

For all these reasons, I’m giving Colleen Hoover a 6-star rating. This 2016 favorite is inspiring, and I honestly expect it will be life-changing for many readers. You won’t want to miss this novel. Please be sure to read It Ends With Us!

Michel’s Review

Spoiler Free Review

After reading It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover I was at wits end on how to review this book. There are just not the right kind of words to describe this reading experience without giving away spoilers. It’s a novel that each reader needs to experience themselves. The only word I could use to accurately describe this novel is PROFOUND.

It Ends With Us is not the typical romance. I wouldn’t even put this novel in the romance genre. It is more like a contemporary fiction novel or womens fiction novel.

I would suggest that readers stay away from social media and sites where spoilers and in depth reviews are posted . This type of influence could give the readers the wrong perceptions going in. I highly recommend going into this novel “blind”, free of any influence from the outside world.

Colleen Hoover is a gifted writer that delivers a unique reading experience with every one of her novels. It Ends With Us has layers upon layers within the overall plot of the story. Each and everyone of her characters are multi dimensional. There are so many shades of gray within this novel. Colleen colors these shades of gray and gives the reader a completely different perspective. As this novel progresses, the colors change in value and tone, very much like a kaleidoscope . In the end the reader walks away with new perceptions, a deeper understanding of these life circumstances, and hopefully a more tolerable opinion.

Each character in this novel was shaped by their pasts. There were cracks in their entire being. They were both good and bad, loving and hateful, and lastly broken but not beyond salvation. They were who they were and had to choose how to proceed in their future lives. They all had to choose the path they wanted to take in their future that would illuminate rather than darken their lives.

This novel touched me on so many different emotional and physical levels. I walked away with a different perspective. In no way do I condone some of the issues but I will not be quick to judge people in these life situations.

The writing was beyond superb. It delivered a very profound message. It was a real portrayal of life, love, relationships, and family. It was enlightening. The overall message was positive.

About Colleen Hoover

Author Bio:

Colleen Hoover’s love for writing began in 1985 when she was five years old. Her first story was titled “Mystery Bob” and was a huge hit with her mother, who was really good at faking interest. Colleen continued to write short stories for friends and family until December of 2011, when she decided to write a long story she titled, “Slammed.” She self-published SLAMMED to Amazon in January, 2012 and it hit the NYT’s bestsellers list in May, 2012. She has since signed with Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, and now has six NYT’s bestsellers. Colleen prefers to be called a writer, as the term “author” still terrifies her and makes this feel like a job with expectations. She doesn’t work well under pressure and hopes writing will always remain fun and exciting. Colleen’s newest novel, UGLY LOVE, releases August 5th, 2014. She is currently working on a new novel, CONFESS, which she is writing as fast as she can before she wakes up from this crazy dream.

You can follow Colleen on Instagram and Twitter @colleenhoover. You can also find her on her blog at http://www.colleenhoover.com where she holds a daily book-a-day giveaway, or on her very active Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/authorcolleenhoover where she loves to give away more free stuff when her husband isn’t looking.

Colleen also wants the world to know that writing short biographies in third person is incredibly awkward.

After thwarting a deadly coup and
saving the alliance between their worlds, Cara and Aelyx have finally earned a
break. Their tiny island colony is everything they dreamed it would be―days
spent gathering shells on the beach and nights in each other’s arms.

But the vacation is short-lived.

The treaty between Earth and L’eihr
has awakened an ancient force that threatens to destroy them all. The Aribol,
mysterious guardians charged with maintaining interstellar peace, deem the
alliance a threat to the galaxy. They order a separation of the races,
decreeing humans and L’eihrs must return to their own planets within the month
or face extinction. In fact, they already have agents in place on Earth, ready
to begin.

With the clock ticking, Aelyx and
Cara assemble a team of colonists and race back to Earth, where they unite with
old friends to solve the mystery of who the Aribol are, what they want, and the
real reason the alliance has provoked them. As tensions build to a full-scale
war, Aelyx and Cara must fight harder than ever―not just for their future, but
for the survival of both their worlds.

Finally, just shy of forty years old, Linny Taylor is living the life of her dreams in her charming hometown of Willow Hill, North Carolina. The past few years have been anything but a fairy tale: Left broke by her con man late-husband, Linny has struggled to rebuild her life from scratch. Then she met Jack Avery, the town’s much-adored veterinarian. And she’s marrying him.

All these obstacles—not to mention what she should wear when she walks down the aisle—are taking the joy out of planning her wedding.

Tracey’s Review

There isn’t a book that Marie has written that I do not love. I always picture Marie’s series like a big Tree of Life, with branches going out everywhere from a solid trunk/foundation. The McCarthys, the Harringtons the Abbotts, Nick Capuano and Sam Holland, Marie’s books are always full of family, of a thread that runs throughout and connects everything in a beautiful way.

Okay, so, yes, FATAL IDENTITY is the tenth book in the Fatal series by Marie Force. And, no, I haven’t read any of the previous books in the series. Should I have? Of course, because it’s Marie Force. But, it’s Marie Freaking Force, and I don’t care how many books have come before, if it’s hers, and I have the chance, I’m reading it! Phew, okay, onward…

Life for Sam and Nick is far from boring. With Nick busy as the recently elected vice-president of the United States, Sam is surrounded by more security than even she is used to. When she is approached by the son of a prominent politico with a story sure to blow things wide open, even a suspension won’t keep Sam from solving the case.

I absolutely devoured FATAL IDENTITY. It’s a page-turner for sure, and I could not put it down. I was completely engaged by both the story and the characters, and, even though I have not read the prior books in the series, it didn’t take me long to catch up at all.

Sam is a go-getter, and a strong woman. She is not afraid to speak her mind, to step on toes, if need be, and she leads her team like a pro. That she commands such respect on her own merits, and not because she’s married to the VP, says a lot about her abilities. Her relationship with Nick, their son, Scotty, and the rest of her family is warm and real, even given her new role.

Marie has done a great job with the plot in FATAL IDENTITY, and, while I had inklings, I really was guessing up until the end. Action, intrigue, danger, all of these elements worked together to make this book one that I would happily recommend. I can’t wait to see what Marie has in store for Sam, Nick, and the crew for their next adventure. 5 sexy, feisty, edge of your seat stars for this one. Now, excuse me while I go back and start at Book 1…

New Release + Review: Melody Of Truth by Nicole Simone – Love of a Rockstar Series – Book 3

Posted on 07/28/2016 by shellbellereads

Melody Of Truth

Love Of A Rockstar Series – Book 3

By Nicole Simone

Buy: Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis

MELODY
The sexy as sin Marco, a man I never thought would be mine, asked me Melody Carmichael to marry him.

Two months before I became a Mrs., a job opportunity to film a documentary about rock n roller, Matthew Lee and his band, presented itself. My swirling doubts compelled me to pack a bag and spend two months on a tour bus. While I expected it to be a wild ride, I had no idea, my life, as I knew it, would never be the same.

SEAN
I had lost everything, my wife, my dog and my house within a blink of an eye. Without my career as a drummer for solo artist/best friend, Matthew Lee, I would have been adrift in the rocky seas, drowning underneath mounds of legal work and divorce proceedings.

Our upcoming tour was my opportunity to regain my focus but that was before, I found out documentary filmmaker, Melody Carmichael, would be capturing our every move. With her fire engine colored lips, raven black hair and a figure reminiscent of a 1950’s pin-up model she evoked dirty daydreams with a single glance.

As the professional lines between us blur, I make it my mission to prove to Melody the putting your heart on the line is the greatest risk worth taking.

Michel’s Review

Melody Of Truth is the first book I have read by Nicole Simone. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and was impressed with the originality in a rock star romance. Not only was the rockstar, Sean Dallis, quite different from most rockers, his love interest, Melody Carmichael was a strong, capable woman forging her own path.

Melody is an award winning documentary filmmaker. She has seen the underbelly of the world and witnessed horrific injustices within the world. Her career choice was a result of her mother’s death when she was a teenager. The camera was her therapy and the need to “do something” that will help others or change lives was a healing component. She’s getting married soon and ready to slow down her career. She’s taking a leave of absence after she finishes this final documentary on the Matthew Lee Band. She didn’t count on Sean Dallis being a down to earth, caring individual who lives by his code. She didn’t count on falling head over heels in love. She has set her path, her fiancé needs her and a small child is counting on her to save his life.

Sean Dallis is getting over a difficult divorce. He’s not ready for any relationship. When he meets Melody Carmichael, he’s singing a new tune.

Melody and Sean were meant for each other. It may not be in their stars but destiny has a way of interfering.

I thoroughly enjoyed Melody Of Truth. I look forward to reading more from Nicole Simone.

I’ve ruined everything.

I’ve broken the cardinal rule and fallen in love with my fake wife, and then I went and did the worst thing a husband can do.

Winning her back will be nearly impossible, but I’ve never backed down from a challenge before and I’m sure as hell not about to start now. Olivia will be mine, and I can’t wait to put a bun in her oven.

You won’t want to miss the final installment in Noah and Olivia’s love story, and especially the way this over-the-top alpha male wins over his bride once and for all.

This is the third and final volume in the story.
