*** NEW REVIEW ***

Darker Water by Lauren Stewart — (Read my Review)

SQUEE!!! I just finished this and loved it!! It was exactly the kind of story I was looking for: UNIQUE, FUN, & SEXY!! The banter was awesome and the chemistry was sizzling. It was almost the opposite of a traditional romance — the hero and heroine were both openly set on NOT falling in love. He was all tortured and damaged but also cocky and charming (and loaded with tattoos!!) … It was a great read!!! Oh, and it’s a standalone 😀

This is a full-length companion novel telling the hero’s POV of one of my favorite standalones, Present Perfect — which is now also on sale for only $0.99 (reg $3.99).

I recommend reading Present Perfect before Presently Perfect.

Natural Love by S. Celi — Pre-order!! (Dec 9)

This book sounds awesome and it’s coming out next week! It’s a standalone forbidden romance told completely in the male POV. No cheating/triangle.

“The secret she and I shared was the worst one of all. She was the one person I shouldn’t love — the one person I couldn’t love. But I did. I loved her. I wanted her, even though a romance with her threatened everything. It all felt so natural. And that was exactly the problem.”

Let Down Your Hair by Fiona Price — Pre-order!! (Dec 11)

This standalone sounds FUN!! It’s a modern twist on a fairy tale.

Bad Romeo by Leisa Rayven — Pre-Order!! (Dec 23)

SQUEE!! I read an early copy of this book absolutely LOOOOVED it!!! It’s a new top favorite. Easily 5 STARS for me!!! It was this INTENSE “hate-to-love-each-other”, dysfunctional-but-can’t-stay-away, love-you-forever-no-matter-how-painful type of love story. It just had this SPARK to it that made my heart RACE!! It’s a second chance romance with a moody, brooding, tortured bad boy hero. I highly recommend it!!! — Pre-order here and Read my Review

Promise to Marry by Jessica Wood — Pre-order!! (Dec 29)

I can’t wait for this!! I loooove the blurb!!

We were best friends since as early as I could remember. We grew up together. We shared each other’s deepest secrets. When I was thirteen, we made a pact: if we were still single by the time we were 30, we’d marry each other. Today was my thirtieth birthday. I was single. I knew he was single too. But we were no longer best friends, and a part of me knew that he hated me.

Wild and Free by Kristen Ashley — Pre-order!! (Dec 29)

This is the final, highly-anticipated conclusion to the Threes series!! It’s paranormal romance but even if you’re not a PNR fan, you should try these ‘cuz holy hell, these men are A.L.P.H.A to an extreme!!! I love ’em!!

Each book is a standalone, but they should be read in order. The first 2 are on sale for $0.99 each: #1 Until The Sun Falls From The Sky, #2 With Everything I Am, #3 Wild and Free. (My Reviews)

Fifty Shades of Grey movie tie-in cover

The new paperback version of Fifty Shades of Grey is up on Amazon now for pre-order with a hot new “movie tie-in” cover. The book itself is the same and this is not a replacement, it’s just a fun new addition for fans of the movie who want it. The original cover will still be available purchase as always. But I wanted a copy of this one too just for fun!! I love the picture — it’s both HOT & SWEET!!

WOAH. I could NOT put this down!!!! It hooked me from the beginning, kept me flipping pages like crazy right through to the end… and now I’m desperate for the next one!! I went in totally blind and honestly, I suggest you do the same. Just dive in and let the story happen!! — This is 100% contemporary, NOT paranormal.

“I love him. More than life, more than anything… He has the power to destroy me. Why? Because of a secret… I never see it coming. You won’t either.”

Sociopath by Lime Craven — (Read my Review)

This book totally messed with my mind and I still have no idea what to think. It was very well written and downright FASCINATING. It’s a dark romance and some parts did make me uncomfortable but I found myself SO curious about this guy and the way he looked at the world. The pacing is a bit slow, but like I said, I was fascinated by it. It was a MIND FUCK — totally twisted — but how could it not be when the hero of the story literally did. NOT. have. a. conscience. O.O

Bait by M. Mabie — (Read my Review)

FUUUUUUUCKKKK!!!! Yes, I’m swearing. I need to. This book put my heart through the wringer. I hated it. I loved it. I hated that I loved it. But I FELT so much for it!!! If you want pure, heart-wrenching, addictive ANGST, then throw your judgments out the window and read this book!!!

“For one night, I want to pretend like it’s me you’re promised to… Please?”

Calder & Eden’s intense, passionate, forbidden love story captivated me and had my heart racing from the first word to the very last. 6 STARS!!!! — Click here for FAQs about the series & reviews.

Gravity by LD Cedergreen — (Read my Review)

*SOB* This was SUCH a good book! Those emotions just hit me SO strongly!!!! I honestly don’t know how to describe the story without it being misleading because there is a HUGE TWIST that changes EVERYTHING you know!! Like, really — woah!! I’ll admit that I actually knew the twist before I started and there’s hidden spoiler section in my review in case you want to know too. It’s unconventional but a really great story!!

Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward — (Read my Review)

I loved this new book!! It hooked me right from the start and I couldn’t put it down til the end!! An angsty, unconventional love story and such a roller coaster!! — It’s a complete standalone romance. 🙂

“You’re the only girl in the entire world that’s forbidden, and fuck me if that doesn’t make me want you more than anything.”

“He looks at you like you’re the only reason he’s still breathing.”

Worth The Fall by Claudia Connor — (Read my Review)

I totally LOVED this book! The hero is an injured Navy SEAL vacationing on a beach who falls for a single mom there with her 4 little kids. There’s just something about a big, tough, Alpha man who accepts kids who are not his own into his life with complete openness that is utterly HEART-MELTING!!!

It’s the first standalone in a series of standalones (focusing on the hero and his brothers as they each fall in love). I can’t wait for the next one!

Black Lies by Alessandra Torre — (Read My Review)

Broken by Lauren Layne — (Read my review)

SQUEE!! I loved this!! It was exactly the type of book I wanted now: FUN, SEXY, & HEART WRENCHING with kind of a unique modern-day “Beauty & The Beast” twist to it. It had a brooding, tormented & scarred hero (LOVE those!!) and a strong, sassy heroine who did NOT take any of his shit (LOVE that too!!). Definitely a winner!! And, it can be read as a standalone 😀

A girl with secrets, a guy with scars, and a love that could save them both…

Don’t Let Go by Sharla Lovelace — (Read my review)

OMG!!! This is of my 5-STAR FAVORITES!! An absolute must-read of the year!
