Manik by Amo Jones

I wasn't sure if I would like this book but I bought it anyway and did in fact enjoy it immensely.  The book is well written and full of different twists that are completely unexpected and completely loved. 

I did have problems with the book though. 

I know not all authors use the same terms but in this book I had a hard time with the Russian Mob part of the book, the terms used and pretty much everything else.  Pakhan is a title and in this book it seems like it is used as the persons name, is one example.  Another is the Pen, it just seems a little random.  Besides those two things there are terms used for the Russian Bratva in this book like 'capo' is not a Russian term but is used for the Russian mob.  It was the small things like that that I had issues with but the small details are important to the story too so they should be correct.  There is the term 'Vor' that is never really described and then the fact that the one person has about three or four different names that he is called or referred to as.

Collard by the Badman Russian Bratva book 11 by Hayley Faiman

This book was amazing, it seemed to have one twist after another and I really enjoyed that.  There were some sad parts but they made the book more realistic and even better.  This is my third favorite in the series and was completely unexpected until it was announced.  I was really happy reading this book and I wish there was a little more angst in it since there wasn't very much, if any.  I can't wait for the next book that she writes, I wish this series didn't have to end though and that Sergei and Raisa's story was longer than it was even though it was a long book. 

Flamed With Courage Hayley Faiman Cash Bar Book 3 Notorious Devils Spin off Series

This book was amazing.  Free was an asshole at times but I still liked him a hell of a lot more than I did Crooner.  It seemed like they had sex a lot in this book, like in every chapter almost.  The book was awesome though, the different twists that it head were completely unexpected and kept the book more and more intriguing. 
Some parts felt rushed, like in the end when they are looking for Free, I feel like that could have been a little more detailed and extended but that's just me.

The little added on book at the end with Gracie and Skinner was really appreciated but I wish it was longer.  It added to the book, made it happier which was fairly good.

To Command and Collar book 6 Masters of the Shadowlands by Cherise Sinclair

This book is fairly decent but reading it took forever because there were parts where it just seemed to drag on and on and on.  Like one of those books that feels never ending because you look and are at 93% and then it never seems to go past that stage.

The book is good though, very emotional at times, but still good.  My favorite part is actually with the dog close to the end out of most of the book.  I also enjoyed when Raoul spoke in Spanish, I enjoyed learning the words. 

Make Me Sir Masters of the Shadowlands book 5 by Cherise Sinclair

This is one of my favorite books, probably because of the brattiness in it which is amusing and light heartening at the same time.  Nothing in this book is wrong, all of it applies to different parts of a persons life, their interests, the dangers in the world.

I actually enjoyed how Z and Jessica have their perspectives in the book.  It doesn't really add to Marcus and Gabi's story but I don't think it takes away from it either.

Lean On Me book 4 Masters of the Shadowlands by Cherise Sinclair

Truth rings through these books in personal ways.  Becoming comfortable in your own skin, learning to work past your fears and trust in someone to help you, honesty and communication.  Each book has a lesson or a theme in it that applies to each sub in their own way. 

They are eye opening and I find that aside from all the sex, but even some of that, the books can be fairly easy for the readers to relate to, at least in my opinion.

This book is number four in the on going series and I enjoyed it a lot.  Maybe it is just me but I think the books build off one another.  Like if you didn't have Kari's story then you wouldn't be able to have Cullen's.  Kari pushes Dan in ways that are similar to how Cullen pushes Andrea.  Completely different backgrounds and still there are similarities.

Breaking Free (Masters of the Shadowlands book 3) by Cherise Sinclair

I found this book to be emotional and all too real at times, especially when I got closer to the end.  It teaches good lessons though about the importance of honesty in a relationship and also trust.  If you don't have trust you don't have anything.

At the end, with the cop in the hospital, was infuriating.  How he assumed what happened was from a kink gone wrong but it was then amusing when he got put in his place.

Overall this was a good book that I would recommend so long as the reader doesn't have a weak stomach because some things are a little disturbing.

The strength of Beth is inspiring and wonderful.  Leaving a bad situation is never easy and although she did not succeed the first time she did not give up either.

Dark Citadel (Masters of the Shadowlands book 2) by Cherise Sinclair

This book is humorous and again it is authentic in the BDSM lifestyle.  I noticed one or two grammatical errors but only one or two in an entire book is really really good.  Again this is not my favorite in the series but I enjoy reading it a lot and it builds up for the other Masters and submissive's who have stories coming.

I really appreciate the fact that books one and two, the submissive's are not thin and stacked like what Hollywood's ideal woman is supposed to look like.  Voluptuous is a good word I think to accurately describe the women in the first two books.

Club Shadowlands (Masters of the Shadowlands book 1) by Cherise Sinclair

Extremely authentic and all encompassing of BDSM with a large but sometimes subtle aspect of safe, sane and consensual.  This book is a million times better than the 50 Shades of Grey crap.  Every time that I read this book I like it even more because I have yet to find any punctual or grammatical errors.  While not my favorite in the series it definitely gets the ball rolling and makes you want to read the other books that follow.

The Bitter (Addiction Series book1) by Delilah Frost

This is the first book that I have ever read that is from only the guys perspective.

I hated this book, every bit of it.  I didn't hate it because of the perspective it is written in, that's probably the only thing that I did like.  I think every thing about this book is stupid and I was angry with every word that I read.  It was one thing after another with Chase and Cecelia and it got tedious.  Sometimes there was a lot of detail and at other times there wasn't enough.

Time would skip between chapters and in the chapters but you wouldn't know until it told you because there was no heading to tell you the gap change.  There were a lot of grammatical errors in the book which take away from the story and it is unrealistic that a person with no fighting experience can win every fight for years on end.

Deadly Encounter by Diann Mills

This book leaves you hanging on to every word and wanting to know more about the people.  Realistic with a hard lean on following God and Him being there in all times accompanies a wonderful and compelling story about a vet a young genius and an FBI agent.

I had this book done in about twenty four hours, maybe less because I had such a hard time putting it down.

This is the first book that I have ever read by Diann Mills and I know that I won't have a problem picking up any of her other books if they are as well written and intriguing as this one.

Fliptrick by Amo Jones

I am blown away by this book. Emotional roller coaster would be the understatement of the millennium.  I didn't actually cry when reading this book but I got very close a couple times.  Oddly enough I love how toxic the relationship is between Maddox and Amethyst because that is exactly what their relationship is.

I like how you get so much of their story from seven years old until they are in their late twenties / early thirties.  There were parts of this book that I absolutely despised and hated with a passion that was so strong I just about through my phone across the room.  Then there were times where I was laughing and times when I was extremely turned on by the excellent writing.

Magnificently written.  Maddox is amazing, almost all of his characteristics ones that I love in the male characters in all books that I read.  Dominant, protective, fierce etc. etc.  I could go on and on about it.

Amethyst I'm just kind of on edge with.  I don't hate her but she is just kinda meh for a lot of the book in my opinion.

Bound by Wreckage Ravage MC Bound Series book 6 by Ryan Michele

I was really anticipating this book, I've wanted to read it for a long time.  Since before it came out haha. 

I am sad to say that I was a little disappointed with some parts.  With all the build up to Torrance and Buck I think their ending should have been extended.  All I heard about this story was that it was so emotional and people bawled their eyes out etc. etc.  I didn't get teary even once but maybe that is because I am a cold hearted bitch deep down.

Nox and Carsyns story was okay, a little darker than I was expecting in some parts and the thing with Big Jim was disturbing in a lot of ways.  Like a lot, a lot, of ways.

Bought by the Badman Russian Bratva book 10 by Hayley Faiman

This book is amazingly written.  You can feel the emotions come off the pages as you read them. 

Giovanna and Aiden are a wonderful couple even though I think in a way she forgives him far too easily but I also think it shows great maturity because she is being an adult and not being vindictive.

I want there to be a novella or book about Elowen and her story because I think it would be an interesting one to read.

Overall this book is wonderful and I enjoy reading it every time.  It is probably my second favorite book in the series, the first being Betrothed to the Badman.

Chosen by the Badman Russian Bratva book 9 by Hayley Faiman

I loved and hated this book all at once.  I was so happy Konstantin got his story but there were times where I hated Kirill and Konstantin and Kiska because they were so stubborn!  This book was really good though, I loved it a lot when I wasn't hating it lol.

I wish there was a novella for Zoe and Bronislav because I want to know more about them since their relationship was so fast paced.

Betrothed To The Badman Russian Bratva book 8 by Hayley Faiman

This is my absolute favorite book in the series without a doubt.  I love how Timofei and Devyn are when together.  I like how similar their families are even though one is Irish and the other is Russian.

I want to know more about Sergei and Rasia and I want to know why Konstantin is still a Byki even though he has done so much for the Organization.

There are a couple of spelling errors that take away from the book but it is still fantastic aside from that.  The descriptions and how real some of the inner monologue is makes the book all the more desirable.

On a side note.  In the beginning it seems like all they do is have sex and I find it a little hard to believe that they can go at it that often without much of a break.

Loved By The Badman Russian Bratva Book 7.5 by Hayley Faiman

This little novella is so sweet!

It is a nice surprise at the end of Forever my Badman and I am happy that Aleksandra gets her happy ending. 

Vladimir is panty melting just in his treatment of his children and Aleksandra.  His obvious devotion and care are heart warming.  I kind of wish that there is more to their story, that it is a novel instead of a novella.

Forever My Badman Russian Bratva book 7 by Hayley Faiman

I love this series.  Every time I read a different book I learn at least one new word in Russian.

Mika has definitely grown on me seeing as I wasn't his biggest fan in Living for the Badman,

The changes in Okasana are marvelous.  While she is materialistic in the beginning of the book you can see the changes in her as the story progresses.

Although it is a little random I like how we get Devyns perspective as a lead up to the next book.

Protected By the Badman Russian Bratva Book 6 by Hayley Faiman

Of all the books in this series Protected by the Badman is my least favorite by far.  Ziven is great, wonderful actually, it is Quinn whom I have a problem with.  His aggressive and protective sides merge perfectly with his loving and caring.

I hate Quinn though.  While she does develop through the book I find her weak compared to the other Bratva wives.  All the women have something happen to them and come out stronger in the end but Quinn doesn't get that.  She isn't weak per say but she definitely does not have the strength that Tatyana, Emiliya, Haleigh and Ashley portray.

What happens to Quinn is horrific but so is what Ashley went through.  Both of them are married to Pakhans but Quinn lacks strength and courage that Ashley gains.  Sonia even says in Living for the Badman that they need to be strong and share the weight with her husbands but it is obvious that that will not ever be happening between Ziven and Quinn.

The ending is a bit of a surprise and one of the things that I enjoyed must in the book.

Tempting the Badman Russian Bratva book 5 by Hayley Faiman

This book is a must read and an all time favorite of mine.  Inessa and Dominik are wonderful; I enjoy all the conflict  that is between them and the changes to Dominik as the story progresses and his character develops.

It seems like they are always having problems but then managing to overcome them.  Every time Dominik is an idiot and someone has to tell him made me smile.  His changes through the book are great though that is for sure.  He becomes less self centered and more of a father and a husband.

I feel like Inessa doesn't change a lot through out the book but that is okay because there is no reason for her too.  In this series it seems that the men are the ones having to grow a little and change a little.  I find it odd that it is like this since the titles of the series are directed more at the women and their connection to the men.

It is wonderful though.  Every time I reread this book I appreciate it a little more.  Every book builds up to the one that follows it without stealing the spotlight from the intended couple.

Living for the Badman Russian Bratva book 4 by Hayley Faiman

Beautiful is the word that comes to mind for this book.  I have wanted to know Yakov and Ashley's story since book two and the wait was worth it.

Their relationship has its ups and downs, how the two of them grow and learn to appreciate each other more.  The aspect of BDSM with the master and slave, the submission that is given and not taken. . .

This book was amazing and I loved every piece of it.  The ending was good too, getting a little bit of insight into the next couple books from the epilogue.  The conversation after the funeral is a well written envelopment of aspects from the first three books.  What is represented and what helps make them who they are.  The strength and the love.

Overall this book is magnificent.  There is the odd grammatical error here and there that I noticed but not very many.  It was more of a his instead of him type of error.

Dancing for the badman Russian Bratva book 3 by Hayley Faiman

I was disappointed that Ashley and Yakov didn't get their story told before this one because I was looking forward to theirs but I really only read this book while waiting for theirs to come out.  This book was not horrible and I enjoyed it more now than I did before since I have read it multiple times now.

Kirills development though.  The story is great as he overcomes his anger by letting his maturity and love overcome it.  When it comes to Tatyana I don't have a lot to say about her.  She is a wonderful mother, putting her daughter first and always wanting to do right by her.   Although she does seem like a little bit of a pushover, accepting poor treatment out of a decades old love.

When it came to the combination of the Devils and the Bratva, I wish there was a little more detail about how they get the information and that there was more time spent on the suffering and torture of the Cartel members.

Chased with Strength Cash Bar series book 2 by Hayley Faiman

I loved the strength and determination that Hayden shows.  I love her commitment to her job, her child and to life itself.  She may be nineteen but the book is so well written with her experiences in life that it makes you see that her maturity is older than her age.

I am still on the fence about Ward - Crooner - though.  I like him more at the end of the book compared to the beginning but I still think he is a major asshole.

The age gap between Hayden and Crooner is my all time favorite part.  I absolutely love it when the man is older than the woman and it is hot, hot, hot in this book.  Parts of this book are so well written that my heart just about beat its way out of my chest!

There isn't a whole lot that I can say about this book.  I love all of it and I cannot wait for book three to come out.  If there was one thing that I could wish for in this book it would be that we got a little more background on Hayden instead of the book starting off after she has already had her baby.  I wish it was kind of like book one and how we got a little more background with Ginger.

Seducing the Badman Russian Bratva Series book 2 by Hayley Faiman

I really enjoyed this book although at times I did find it to be a little repetitive.  The way that Emiliya goes on about her looks and having to be perfect at all times.  I get that she was raised that way but it seems like it is mentioned in almost every chapter.

Then there is Radimir and she is always having to go and seduce him.  Three times I think it occurred in this book.  I get it happening once or twice but then it is over done.

Aside from those two things I didn't have any other issues with this book.

Owned by the Badman (Russian Bratva book 1) by Hayley Faiman

This is the first book that I ever read by Hayley Faiman and I fell in love with it instantly.  I have loved all but one of her books so far, they are all works of art that are creatively written with realistic life experiences to be found, no matter how dark or light.  Maxim is the first Badman, dominant and an alpha bad boy (man). 

Through thick and thin Maxim and Haleigh end up together, going through relationship ups and downs.  I love how in her writing, Hayley has the title mentioned as a way that the main male character is described.  It is something I have only noticed in her books.

Owned by the Badman is addictivly alluring and my go to book and series when I do not know what else to read.  I have read the entire series once, other books multiple times and this book I have now read three times.  Every time I finish it I love it even more.

When reading this book, the details are wonderful and I can perfectly imagine the Russian accent and the broken English that Maxim speaks.  Although this is the first book, when you get to the end you  get a piece of over lap from the second book which is well done so as not to take away from Haleigh and Maxim and their journey together.

Tacet A Mortuis (The Elite Kings book 3) by Amo Jones

Holy fucking shit.  Razing Grace use to be my favorite book by Amo but this one knocked it out of the park.  I love and hate this book all at once.  I love everything about it and I hate that it ended.  I don't know how to describe this book aside from fantastic. 

I would have had this book done in a day if I didn't have to work.  Madship is adorable.  I love how their relationship has evolved through the first three books.  I can't even name what was my favorite part of this book because I loved all of it.  There were some parts I didn't love as much as others but I still enjoyed them. 

There are so many books coming out this month that I am looking forward to but Tacet A Mortuis has ruined me.  Haha.  I don't think any other book I read this month, or maybe even for the next few months will really be able to compare to this one.

Bound By Destiny by Ryan Michele (Ravage MC Bound Series book 5)

Violent.  That is the first word that comes to mind with describing this book.  I have read the entire Ravage original series and all the books in the spinoff Bound series that are out and this is by far that most violent one that I have read.  The most violent book that I have read by Ryan Michele in general.  I don't get grossed out that easily but there were some parts where I got a phantom feeling of what the person was going through due to the vivid descriptions.  Holy hell, I was not expecting that but this book was great. 

I kind of knew who Emery would end up with before I started reading the book, call it a gut feeling if you will and I was right.  In a way I wish there was a little more drama with Micah, I wanted him to put up more of a fight instead of giving in as easily as he did.

The ending of the book.  Holy fucking shit, I was not expecting that at all and now I cannot wait for Bound By Wreckage, book 6.  It cannot come out fast enough for me.

Iron Princess book 2 Savage Trilogy by Meghan March

The beginning I found to be a little slow but once I got to the third or fourth chapter I absolutely flew through this book!  I had it done in less than twelve hours.  It would have been shorter but I can't read for that long straight. 

The ending is not what I expected, the twist is so outrageously extreme and I love it!  This book is mind blowing and I love Temperance, how strong and resilient she is.  How she comes from one life style and makes something of herself.

Stranger a.k.a Kane is someone else altogether and I don't mean that in a literal way.  I mean that he is not who I expected him to be.  He cares, a lot, and what girl doesn't like the caring, dominant, alpha bad boy that can swoop them off their feet?

5 stars without a doubt!  I cannot wait for book 3 to come out.

Romes Chance: A Reapers MC Novella by Joanna Wylde

Mixed feelings, is the best way to describe how I felt when I pre-ordered this book on Amazon.  Then I read this book and I realized that I loved it and I didn't want it to be a novella, I wanted it to be a full book.  The next one in the series even.  This book is amazing, I wish it was a full novel instead of a novella because I so badly want to know more about Randi and Rome.  Their story is amazing, I love how he doesn't give up and the ending is perfect.  Extremely romantic but not disgustingly sappy.

Laced with Fear (Cash Bar book 1) by Hayley Faiman

I have been waiting for this book to come out for months now and it did not disappoint in any way shape or form.  There were times where I thought it went by too fast and other times when it was really slow but the story remained riveting through until the end. 

I do feel like the part with Ginger's mother was an add on, she didn't really add anything to the story line and not having her wouldn't take away from it either.  I will admit to a slight disappointment that the story didn't have more detail about Ginger and Snake when they first met, their fights and their make ups.  I was hoping there would be some of that in here and some of her kidnapping instead of it taking up where the novella left off in Rough and Real.

I am also curious about how Snake got his road name; after all in the Notorious Devils books from the original series you get to know why they get their names/ how they got them.

Personal Foul by Hayley Faiman

This standalone novel is everything I wanted it to be and more.  It is not quite student teacher but it is very similar; with the slight differences keeping it away from being too cliche.  There is not much that I can say about this book because of how well written it is.  There is drama conflict but not enough for it to take away from Cole and Jessa, but enough so that the story does not get boring. 

I read Kinetic Energy before I read this book and while reading that book all I could think about is how I wanted to know Jessa's story and Personal Foul does not disappoint in any way, shape or form.

Fantastic.

Beneath These Shadows book 6 by Meghan March

Uggggg I love this book!!  Incredible story line that keeps you entranced, alpha bad boy and an almost innocent good girl.  The one thing I would have liked better is if Eden was fully innocent with no experience what so ever.  Aside from that, this story was amazing.  I had a hard time putting it down.

Bishop's dirty talking is such an unbelievable turn on.  He is good at it too.  I love, love, love how protective he is and I love how Eden tries to go out on her own and succeeds at gaining independence.

The part with Angelo I really enjoyed as well.  I was not expecting that at all.  It was a pleasant surprise.  One that adds to the story.

I wish that this story would have gone on longer; giving more with Angelo instead of having him found out right away by Bishop and everyone going to New York.  In some ways this seems to undermine him when compared to other parts of the book he is not so easy to get insight on.

Beneath These Lies (Beneath Series book 5) by Meghan March

I think this may be one of my favorite books by Ms. March. The only downside is that I feel like the ending was a little rushed because I still have questions. What happened with Johnny? What happens to the NODOs? How does Rix get out? Lots and lots of questions for sure.

I adore how Valentina finds herself and opens up more. She grows throughout the story, becoming more confident in her work and in herself. She doesn't shy away from her desires and instead she slowly embraces them.

I also wish that there was more told about Rix's background. In all the other books before this you get the back story of the guy and the girl but not so much with this one.

Overall it is a great book. I really want there to be a book on Trinity though, I want to know her story.

Beneath These Scars (Beneath Series book 4) by Meghan March

This book was okay.  I was interested when reading it and I didn't hate it but it took me awhile.  I did really enjoy Yve and Lucas' story and the whole Beauty and the Beast reference to describe them.  But there were times where it seemed boring.  Then there were parts that were not boring, like near the end with Jennifer and I wish there was a little more drama between Jay and Yve before the end because it kept things interesting.

Beneath this Ink (Beneath series book 3) by Meghan March

This book was awesome.
 Elle is extremely tenacious and Lord is a sweet hard man.  He has a romantic side to go with his domineering one.
As I was reading this book, there was like an inner conflict that seemed to go on in the background and while reading other parts of the book you didn't forget about that because it always sort of seemed to hint at that background part.
The ending to the mystery is a twist that I was not expecting.  I definitely did not think that it would be the person that it was.

Beneath This Ink (Beneath Series book 2) by Meghan March

This book was absolutely, wonderfully, more than I expected.  It has the whole good girl falling for the bad boy theme but they come from the same economic social class.  This story is not super sappy and cliche.  I love how Vanessa changes and grows into herself as the story goes on along with how Constantine changes from a rich boy who hates the rich people and becomes more comfortable with himself.

Perfectly written is what this story is.  I had a wonderful time reading it and the twist that you get to at the end of the book is so completely unexpected and appreciated.  Who doesn't like a good twist?  I love the happy ending and I love how it shows that not all rich people are entitled idiots that think they are better than everyone and I love how the poor kids from 'the wrong side of the tracks' are actually better than the snobs and not cliched.

Beneath This Mask (Book 1 standalone Beneath series) by Meghan March

This book was amazing.  I love how it is not the same old girl falling for the bad boy type of tale.  Those can get tedious but Meghan pulled off the switch perfectly.

Charlie is wonderfully complex I find.  She isn't like most girls in romance books, I find that the gender roles seem to be reversed which makes this book even more unique.  She is definitely one of a kind and so is Simon in his own right. 

Going against a fathers wishes, refusing to give up.  Patience.  All good traits and aspects that lead to an awesome read that is full of emotion and leaves you hanging onto every written word.

Beneath the Truth Book 7 of Beneath Series (Standalone) by Meghan March

This book took my breath away.  I got to the half way point and was unable to put it down.  The twist was so completely unexpected and this book was extremely emotional for me when it got closer to the end.  This extremely well written standalone novel is amazingly written and nothing can prepare you for what this story is about. 

The first part took a little while for me to get into but the more that I read, the more intrigued I became.  Some parts are extremely descriptive and they made my stomach twist because it was the kind of descriptive that made it seem like you are witnessing it and that you were able to feel it happening.

Savage Prince by Meghan March (Savage Trilogy book 1)

This book is everything I expected it to be and more.  Meghan does not disappoint when she writes her books with these alpha male types. 
This is the first book in the Savage Trilogy but I think it will make a little more sense if people read the Mount Trilogy before they start this one. 

In her true writing fashion, this book ends in a cliffhanger and while I am usually anti-cliffhanger I find that with her books it works best this way.  I really enjoy how she ends the book, it leaves the reader wanting more and thankfully the second book comes out a month later so they are not waiting for very long.

Hot with a touch of mystery and erotic all mixed together are what create this magnificent piece.

Rough and Real (Notorious Devils book 7) by Hayley Faiman

This book is my absolute favorite in the series and in my top three favorites for all of Hayley's books.  It is a smoking hot book with lots of drama, allowing for it to remain true to its title about life being rough and real.  Camo and Ivy are a couple I have wanted to read about since Mary-Anne and Maddog had their story told.  The conflicts with money and lack of communication are what make this book so magnificent.  They are the two things that cause the most trouble with all couples.  Money is the number one thing that all people fight about.  It is the greatest issue; and in this book it really lets you see that.

I cannot think of enough good things to say about this epic conclusion to the series.  And the bonus novella Rough and Risky at the end is fantastic as well.  I didn't realize until after I read it that I want to know more about Tinker and Riley.  I need to know more about their story, every last detail.  I skipped through most of the parts with Bailey and Rosalie because there isn't a whole lot of drama with them the way that there is with Riley and Tinker.

Rough and Rich (Notorious Devils book 6) by Hayley Faiman Review

The first time I read this book I didn't like it too much but as I read it again I realized that I really did enjoy it.  The couple from a different economic social status is a breath of fresh air, seeing how money really does not bring happiness.

This book shows how drugs can change a person, make them do horrible things that they may not realize until after they become sober.  Sobriety is a wonderful thing, as you experience when reading this book.

Soar and Genny.  Sloane and Imogen.  Two very different people who are one in the same.  They are one of the few couples that have been written about that are close in age and in their thirties.  It is a bit of a change from the large age differences. 

When it comes to this book series, or any of Mrs Faimans books, pregnancy is the one constant.  Something I have noticed in each series that I have read by her.

Kinetic Energy by Hayley Faiman Review

This book was awesome but by the end I found it to be a little tedious with all the sex that the couple has.  The story line is wonderful, following their story and showing that even if things don't work out the way you expect, there can still be a happy ending.

Ines and Thomas are very different people that fit together perfectly despite their age difference.  Being a student and professor is somewhat of a cliche but it is a role play scenario that is most popular and makes for an interesting read.

The twist with Danielle is expected but also completely unexpected.  I loved it.

Rough and Ready (Notorious Devils book 5) by Hayley Faiman Review

This book is different from the first four.  There isn't a whole bunch of conflict with a jealous club whore for one thing.  You get more insight into Torch's time in the military than you do with Snipers story. 

This book is most similar to book two but it does have its differences.  The jobs in the military are different for starters.  There is no abusive ex husband, but the conflict outside of the couples themselves comes from two previously mentioned groups.

While this book leads up to Soar and Genny's story I find that I am more interested in Snake and Ginger and their relationship.

This is a great book but there seems to be a little much at times.  It has three conflicts - for lack of a better word - instead of just one or two. 

The book is great though, I like reading it each and every time.

Rough and Ruthless (Notorious Devils book 4) by Hayley Faiman Review

Age differences are a wonderful thing.  But when the one person is 28 and the other is 60 it has a high risk of being extremely pervy.  Thankfully this is pulled off in a great way.  It doesn't seem gross with this age difference, and it works for this book really well.

Rough and Rugged (Notorious Devils book 3) by Hayley Faiman review

Enticingly addictive is the most accurate way to describe Dirty Johnny Williams.

Johnny and Hattie are one of my favorite couples.  They are so different and yet they manage to make their relationship work out.  There seems to be more conflict between them than there is with the first two books.  But that is understandable with an eleven year age difference.

This book is not boring and every time I read it I enjoy it a little more.  The changes with Johnny are really great; he is older but seems to get more mature after meeting and having a relationship with Hattie.

There isn't a whole lot for me to say about this book.  The other two had evident themes that make a relationship work for the main couple.  However, if I do look for a 'theme' it is more about the relationship between Willa and Hattie.  Jealousy can change people an no matter how comfortable a relationship or friendship is, you need to make the right choice for yourself when - or if - it becomes toxic.  Once that toxicity is there, you cannot get rid of it.  Jealousy changes people, allows for them to show their true colors in a way that they didn't before.  You can either put up with it and turn a blind eye or you can decide that enough is enough and make the change to leave that person in your past.

Rough and Raw (Notorious Devils Book 2) by Hayley Faiman Review

This book was awesome.  The back and forth between Bates and Brentlee as their relationship grows keeps the reader engaged.

The character development of Brentlee is fantastic.  Compared to the girl you meet in book one, she is radically different.

There is development with Bates as well.  He opens up more to Brentlee and you see some of his inner demons that make him who he is.  Letting his walls drop so that their lives can merge more fully.

Something I noticed when reading this book is the importance of trust.  This book is about Brentlee and Bates and the trust between them.  Without trust you cannot have a relationship.  Just like how in book one, with out commitment and loyalty you can't have a real relationship.

Excellent writing and story line all around.  5 stars.

Rough and Rowdy (Notorious Devils) by Hayley Faiman review

I have read this book multiple times and I love it.  Kentlee is amazing, she is not your normal female main character or heroine, whatever you want to call her.  She is curvy and not thin like a stick which is what I love about Hayley's characters.  They are not your every day ones that are thin and curvy and also well muscled. 

Kentlee is such a strong person, resilient and confident.  She doesn't give up and does what needs to be done to make everything work out.  Not everyone would wait for an extended period of time but Kentlee is an exception to that which shows true loyalty.

There are parts of this book that are unbelievably hot.  The detailed dirty talking and the age difference.  God damn, that age difference between them is hot as hell.  Twelve years.

In one spot Pierce is spelled wrong and there are a couple grammatical errors but not all that many.  This book is awesome every time that I read it.

Breaking Free by Rachel Jeffs

This book was very enlightening to read, knowing more about the cult and how it operates. 
I don't understand how a person could be okay with following someone when they know that that person is lying about them and punishing them for things they didn't do.  People knew that Warren Jeffs lied about somethings and yet they continued to follow his lead.  It doesn't make sense when it becomes so extreme. 

Rachel is extremely resilient, that part is definitely true.  I know that there is no way I would have been able to stay as long as she did.  The first time he tried taking me away from my kids I would have left.  No ifs ands or buts about it.

Ms. Jeffs did not retell her life for sympathy and so I don't hold any sympathy towards her but I was happy to read her story.  It brings to light the power that some men can hold over others.

The Last Thing She Ever Did by Gregg Olsen Review

This book is twisted and dark.  I was intrigued by the story line and it didn't take me very long to finish this book since I read it every chance that I had.  That being said, there were parts that made me sick to read.  While I realize that there are people out there willing to do whatever it takes to keep up appearances and only thinking about themselves, this is the first book that has really made that clear and was up front about it.

Liz's development through the book is fantastic, her experiences are described enough that you really get a feel for what she is going through.  Nothing is sugar coated.  Being weak and walked over to standing up and being strong is wonderful. 

As I got closer to the end of the book I was able to figure out who had been following them through the story and that was a little disappointing for me.

4 stars.

Girl Last Seen by Nina Laurin Review

This is the first book I have read by Nine Laurin and it was amazing.  I was definitely not expecting the ending which I loved.  I hate predictable endings. 

I didn't find any inconsistencies when reading this novel and there were no errors that stuck out to me like a sore thumb. 

There were times when the details were amazing and you could feel like you were there but then it just felt like with other things being described it seemed to lack a little bit. 

A lot of unexpected twists in this book that make it so much better.  Nothing about this is predictable.

5 stars

Molly's Game by Molly Bloom Review

I was hesitant to read this book at first, as it was not one that I was interested in.  Every time I was in Chapters or walking past the book section in Walmart I saw the book.  I would pick it up and read the back, put it down and then pick it up again.  Finally I bought the book.

The more I read the more interested I got.  I liked the terms used being explained so that you knew what was actually happening. 

Her story is relate able.  It talks about how she lost herself to money and wanting to make more.  She lost friends and family and most of all she lost herself.  Molly goes on to talk about how along the way she really did make some real friends and you see how there are schemes everywhere and that you really do need to be careful because people are all about trying to take advantage of you. 

This is an amazing and detailed book that really opens up your eyes.  Money is not everything and it does not bring happiness.  In fact, I think that in most cases, money brings problems when you have too much of it.  But sadly the world shows consumerism and money as what life is all about and lots of people blindly believe it.

5 stars

Sweet Spot for Victoria by Hayley Faiman Men of Baseball Novella Review

The book moves quickly and has enough drama to keep it interesting but it was not my favorite in this series.  I like how you get a little more insight into the previous couples but I feel that it takes away from Victoria and Carlos and their story.

I wish that there was a little more detail about the beginning of their marriage and the struggles that they had since they are barely touched on. 

This book has the least amount of grammatical errors but because it has everyone's perspectives in it, I find that I did not enjoy it all that much.  Sad to say that this book will only get 3 stars from me.

Forced Play for Libby by Hayley Faiman Men of Baseball book 3 Review

This book was fantastic.  It still had grammatical errors like the first two books but not even close to as many.  I was, admittedly, all over the place with this book.  I would read a couple pages and then put it down just to pick it right back up.  I love this book so much.  I could really feel for Libby and I found her story to be the best.  I like how it wasn't a perfect marriage and that it really showed how looks can be deceiving. 

Libby is by far my favorite out of all of the women Hayley has written stories about.  She has such strength and you can tell because depression is not an easy thing to deal with and when it brings you down it is so hard to get back up.  She comes from privilege but doesn't let it go to her head I guess you could say.  Libby doesn't have the holier than thou mentality and that is awesome.

The whole bad boy thing with Pete was awesome as well,  because what girl doesn't like a dirty talking bad boy with tattoos? 

While I am not married, I do know that communication is extremely important and this book really touches on that.  It also talks about how you can't be focused on yourself, which is hard.  When things aren't going well and communication is lacking, naturally you start drifting, trying to find ways to fix it.  But the things you are fixing may not necessarily be the right ones.

5 stars. No 10 stars because it is just that good.

Catching Maggie by Hayley Faiman Men of Baseball book 2 Review

This book had me confused for the first couple chapters.  The back of the book and the synopsis talked about Maggie and Sammy but the book isn't actually about them being together.  I was thrown off a bit but the more I read of the book the more into it I got.

I was fairly impressed that some of the key facts of BDSM in this book were accurate.  For example trust and aftercare are extremely important and that 50 shades crap doesn't even touch on it.  There were still a lot of grammatical errors and I did not like that at all.  Every time I came across one it pulled me out of the story.

Overall I really enjoyed this book, 4 stars for sure.  Jackson's character is one that I really enjoyed, even Elliot I enjoyed because it was an accurate depiction of how people in that life style can pretend to be dominant when they really don't know what it means to be a Dom.

Pitching For Amalie by Hayley Faiman Men of Baseball Series Book 1 Review

This is not the first book that I have read by Hayley Faiman.  I loved this book.  Her female heroine is not your regular main character.  Amalie is not this petite person with large tits, instead she is six feet tall.  This is the first book I have read where the woman is not in the five foot height range. 

I did have some problems when reading this book but they all had to do with grammatical errors.  Aside from that, the book was awesome and I had a very hard time putting it down.  Usually I don't read books that are about sports since I have no interest and I find them boring but this one was far from what I thought it would be. 

Even with the grammar errors I would totally give this book 5 stars.  Amalie is not my favorite character by Mrs Faiman but she is definitely up there; and not just because she is not your normal female character.

The Devils Match Book 4 of the Devils Own series by Amo Jones

I'm not sure why everyone was so excited for Frost's book.  His character is awesome, of course, but he isn't a favorite of mine.  This book was good but it has a lot of inconsistencies in it, like all the other books in this series.

Giving this book 4 stars is me being generous because the story is good even though it skips around a hell of a lot.  It goes from the present to two years earlier to present to two weeks later to three years later to two years earlier.  You get the drift.  The book is great but time line wise skips all over the place.

In chapter 6 I noticed the first mistake.  "Toodles", Ella is mimicking Hannibal but it wasn't Hannibal who said this it was Ripper.

In chapter 11 it says that Ella is five feet and ten inches but when she is first described in the beginning of the book she is five feet and eleven inches.

Chapter 19 Willow is telling Ella a little about her childhood but even in her little speech, monologue, whatever you want to call it, there is a quotation mark that should not be there.  In this chapter it says 'he studies to Pax' which is an awkward sentence.

In chapter 23 it is Ella's perspective but when Pax squeal "Gwwummpy" it says that Ella squeals it.  Later on in the same chapter Frost and Willow and Miles are talking because Miles was apparently a human lie detector for the army.  In book 3 'Razing Grace Part 2' it says that Angel is the human lie detector and at no point does it give any mention of Miles even being in the army.  Ella says that Raze wipes his ass with hunnid dollar bills.  This should be hundred instead.

Books 1-3 all refer to the man behind the bar at the Devils Own clubhouse as 'Old Fella' and in this book, all the way up until chapter 24, he is called 'Old Falla'. 

I really enjoy how consistent this book is.  (It should be noted that the last second was me being sarcastic because it bothers me that no one, not even the so called editor noticed these mistakes.)

Chapter 30 has Frost as the narrorator and there should be a comma in between Amy and Jr because otherwise you misread the sentence because it says that the child's name is Amy Jr not Miles Jr.  Also in this chapter it says that Hella owns a tattoo studio downtown but he doesn't.  Jada owns the studio.

All The Missing Girls by Megan Miranda Review

I don't usually read suspenseful or mystery type books because they don't interest me.  This one did.  Every time I started getting a little bored with this book there was a twist that hooked me and lured me back in to the story.  I enjoyed it a lot.

There were parts of the story that reminded me of the show Pretty Little Liars.  The girl who is in charge of a group, who causes trouble and is mean.  A girl who likes to play games with others.

It was different, being told from the end to the beginning, putting pieces together as you go and then not knowing until the very end who the killer is and how it all really went down.  It worked really well in this book, being told this way.

5 stars

Hellraiser by Amo Jones book 2 in the Devils Own Series

I didn't like this book the first time that I read it and then I read it a second time and I liked it a little more.  The good news is that I had less issues with this book than I did with the first one.

The good news is that I didn't have forty problems with this book like I did with book 1.  I would give this book a 3 star review maybe even a 4 star.

In the prologue on page 8 Melissa is described with having mousy blonde hair but in book one it says she has platinum hair.  Then on page 10 'I wondered why the maintenance man hadn't fixed that yet; isn't that their job?'  It should be maintenance men so that the entire sentence is plural and not singular and then plural.  On page 11 'his arm drew back before coming fist first into my gut.'  Why write that it is fist first, why not just say that she got punched?  The second problem on this page is that she is being held up by her throat so being backhanded wouldn't knock her to the ground if she didn't get released and it is never said that she was released.

Chapter 1: On page 15 wrist should be plural.
Chapter 2: Nette is spelled wrong again, it should be Nettie.
Chapter 3: Page 34 says Beast shoulder's but it should be Beast's shoulder's.
Chapter 6: Page 45 '. . . dumping the rubbish from out nasty.'  It should be our not out.
Chapter 8: On page 66 it says that Shelby has blonde chin length hair but in book one, although Shelby is described with different hair colors she is never described with short hair.
Chapter 13: Melissa now has light blonde hair on page 91, what happened to the mousy blonde from the prologue?  On page 94 it says that Layla managed to free a wrist to grab the scissors but I think wrist should be plural since she has two.
Chapter 14: Page 98 Melissa now has white blonde hair.
Chapter 17: Page 114 'a snare coming out of her mouth.'  It should be snarl.
Chapter 19: On page 130 ". . . war isn't over;it's only just begun."  There should be a space before the word "it's".
Chapter 20: Page 138 ". . . turns me on, but I don't trust him." There doesn't need to be a comma between the words on and but. 
Chapter 21: On page 144 we are given Jada's perspective and she is saying that she didn't understand why she had been bought there.  Jada wasn't bought by the Army, she was brought there when she was a child.  Then, on page 146, Hella is described as brushing his naked chest against Melissa and then taking his shirt off.  How can someone take their shirt off if they were just shirtless?
Chapter 26: On page 182 'his laugh echoed through the kitchen'.  It should be echos instead of echoed.  Then Hella is saying what he puts in his pancakes, ". . . protein powder, and cinnamon."  There doesn't need to be a comma there.
Chapter 27: Page 190 there are three times where the wrong pretense of the word is used.  Yelled should be yell, swallowed should be swallow and kissed should be kisses.
Chapter 28: Page 190 'he hands fly up in the air.'  It should be her hands.
Chapter 30: Page 198 it says that Eddy has a girlfriend and then on page 202 Melissa says it is his wife.
Chapter 31: On page 208 'I'm in love with him, and there is nothing I can do about it'.  There doesn't need to be a comma here.
Chapter 33:  On page 220 instead of shot back the liquor it should be shoot.  Then on page 222 'feel Hella's gaze on mine.'  It should be me instead of mine.
Chapter 35: Page 240 '. . . a brother from one of the other chapter asks'.  It should be chapters not chapter.  Then on 242 the writing pretense changes from present to past tense.
Chapter 36: On page 254 'a growl to escape  mine'.  It should be 'a growl to escape me'.  Then on 255 instead of made his way out the door it should be makes.

One Hundred and Thirty-six Scars by Amo Jones Book 1 of The Devils Own Series

**Spoilers in this review**

I had a lot of problems with this book.  I found forty different things through out the book and I could have even missed a few.  But really, forty mistakes or inconsistencies in one book?  That is absolutely ridiculous like who edited this book and did the proof-reading?  Gosh I could not believe this.  I would give this book a 2.5 star review because there is no way that I can put it higher when it has so many differences.

First: The font chosen for the chapter numbers I couldn't read so I had no idea what chapter I was on half the time.

Second: In Chapter 3 with Courtney's flashback "all I had to do, was hide away for nine months" why is there a comma there?

Third: on page 14 "once I saw the pristine white hospital like building I knew I was here".  Shouldn't it be there instead of here?  She knew she was there because she saw the building.

Fourth: on page 15 if Courtney is outside then how does she know that the air smells like cleanliness and disinfectant.  There is also a pretense change on this page between past and present.

Fifth: Courtney heaved in deep shallow breaths, the words deep and shallow contradict each other.

Sixth: on page 16 it says Luce jnr.  Maybe it's not a mistake but junior is usually just 'jr' and it doesn't have the 'n' in it.  This is the first book I have ever read where there is an 'n' in the short form for junior.

Seventh: Chapter 4 page 17 how does an early morning train cause the walls to peel? And then it goes "hot water was a luxury we could not afford, and the hydro would go out at least twice a month".  When I was reading that I couldn't understand why there was a comma between the two along with the word 'and'.

Eighth: the pretense changes again on page 18.

Ninth: on chapter 9 page 59 it is Meadows perspective and it says Melissa glares at Phoebe but you can tell by reading the paragraph before that it should be Phoebe who glares at Melissa.

Tenth: Chapter 13 page 86 there isn't technically anything wrong with the sentence but "in here" Melissa replies out of the kitchen just didn't seem right when a better word could be 'calls'.

Eleventh: On page 100 in Chapter 16 Phoebe is sitting beside Melissa and then Melissa sits down beside them?
Twelveth: On that same page and chapter the friends name is Nette and that is the wrong spelling but then it is also spelled Nettie later on.

Thirteenth: On page 101 it should be I remember or I am reminded instead of I'm remembered.

Fourteenth: Page 23 describes Beast's scar as starting behind his right ear and going across his neck but on page 103 his scar starts behind his left ear and then goes down his neck and across his shoulder blade and then onto his chest.  Beast also has a hoodie on at the time so how does Meadow know where his scar goes since she has never seen him shirtless?

Fifteenth: Chapter 17 page 109 says Meadow has a square face but in the beginning of the book  she is described as having a heart shaped face.

Sixteenth: Chapter 18 page 117 "and the throbbing begins to pulsate".  She is talking about her pussy and this is pretty much the same thing when used in this context.

Seventeenth: Tongue is used 7 times in two pages.  SEVEN times!  It was the same word over and over and over again and just became tedious.

Eighteenth: on Chapter 19 page 123 Melissa talks and then Beast talks in that same paragraph but it should be two separate ones because there are two people talking.

Nineteenth: Page 124 Beast foes to "spin on his heels" but before he does Melissa calls his name as he turns to her even though he hadn't turned around yet.

Twentieth: Chapter 20 page 30.  Meadow has deep blue eyes, then she has baby blue eyes and now her eyes are described as blue with a green hue on this page.

Twenty-first: Page 139 'Phoebe asks her level of crazy a an all time high' there should be a comma after asks.

Twenty-second: Page 140 'Beast and I are very early days' reading that part of the sentence is just awkward.

Twenty-third: Chapter 23 page 160 who sleeps with a condom in their pocket?  That is just weird.

Twenty-fourth: Same chapter page 163, "really?" I ask eyebrows raised.  I think there should be a comma after the word ask or the word with after the word ask.

Twenty-fifth: After Hella talks but before Beast slaps him there should be a paragraph change on page 164.

Twenty-sixth: Page 166 saying sausage meat is redundant.  Sausage is meat you don't need to tell the reader that.

Twenty-seventh: Same page it says Meadow stand up and speaks to Hella.  Why is that two separate paragraphs?

Twenty-eighth: Page 168 'he shrugs his jaw flexing' there should be a comma or the word and between shrugs and his.

Twenty-ninth: Chapter 24 page 178 "I don't know why?" it isn't a question so there shouldn't be a question mark.

Thirtieth:  Chapter 25 page 189 Meadows laughing stops and the next paragraph stops again?

Thirty-first: Same page 'beast stalking to us, shoulders...' the sentence seems awkward to me.

Thirty-second: In chapter 12 on page 77 we are told that Beast is the International President of the Devils Own and then on page 189 in chapter 25 he is only the National President?

Thirty-third: Chapter 25 page 196 he words fuck, shouldn't it be 'mouths the word fuck'?

Thirty-fourth: Page 199 Meadow puts on fighting gloves and then Beast entwines their fingers.  It should be clarified that they are finger-less fighting gloves because when I first read this I pictured her wearing the ones that completely cover your hands.

Thirty-fifth: Page 203 "we'll come back tonight and shot some arrows" it should be shoot instead of shot.

Thirty-sixth: Chapter 26 page 205 'I hate confrontation, but if someone hit me or came at me, I wouldn't back down'.  There is no reason for these commas.

Thirty-seventh: Page 213 Beast has his skull bike mask on so how can he suck her nipples through the mask?

Thirty-eighth: On page 205 Shelby is a brunette and then on page 227 her hair is mouse blonde.

Thirty-ninth: Chapter 34 page 273 they didn't lose Nyx in the explosion that took Courtney they lost him before the explosion when Beast traded himself for the club.

Fortieth: Same page it says 'from inside an dark' it should be 'a' not 'an'.

Razing Grace Part 2 by Amo Jones book 3 in the Devils Own series

I found almost no mistakes or issues of any sort in part one but in part two I found a lot.  More than I thought I would.  I have read this book multiple times but this time, because I was looking thoroughly and double checking as I read to make sure it all added up I found so many that I didn't notice before.

The first mistake I didn't record the chapter but it was "a one" instead of "alone".

The second: 'she slams her eyes shut' and then a paragraph later in chapter 17, even though Millie didn't open her eyes it says that she slams her eyes shut again.

Third: at the beginning of chapter 22 it says "my fuze" instead of "my fuse"

Fourth: In chapter 23 Raze goes upstairs and Millie is in the kitchen with Joker.  There is no mention of Raze coming back downstairs but he is suddenly there and telling off Joker while telling Millie to go upstairs.

Fifth: If Millie is storming to the car after seeing Amy in the hospital and Raze is behind her then how does she know that Raze is watching her and clenching his jaw while fisting his hands?

Sixth:  They are on the plane and on their way to go skiing and Raze is with Millie in the back of the plane.  They have anal sex and spit is not enough lube, especially without preparation and when it is her first time.

Seventh: In chapter 36 it says 'the guy who tried to kills me'.

Eighth:  In chapter 38 when Raze is with Ikea he goes from standing already to standing from a chair and crouching at her level even though she is standing with a gun in her hand and not sitting down.

Ninth: In chapter 39 Millie's hands are bound behind her so how is it possible for her to shuffle her hands so that they are in front of her?

And finally the tenth mistake that I found is in chapter 41.  There are actually three mistakes but they are all in this chapter so I am just calling it one mistake.
 - 'glancing between up' instead of 'glancing between us'
 - When Millie slices open Souless it doesn't say what she does with the knife, I think she leaves it in him though.  It never says that Raze picked up the knife when Millie was done with it so how can he drop a knife that he does not have in his hand?
 - When Ella goes into the house after Frost leaves Millie watches as Ella goes upstairs but how does Millie know that if she is in the backyard and can't see what is going on inside of the house?

I suppose this isn't a review as much as it is a list of the inconsistencies and mistakes that I found.  Beta readers are supposed to find these are they not?  How come there are so many mistakes in this book then if they are supposed to be looked for?

I so badly want to say that this is a 5 star read but sadly I cannot because of the ten mistakes above.  Sadly I have to go with a 4 star.  And maybe I should go lower because of the above points but I can't justify those lowering this any further because of how good and original this story is and the twists that are in it that keep you from putting this book down.

A Harmless Little Plan Book 3 by Meli Raine

I enjoyed this book immensely.  It comes with Lindsay's and Drew's point of views which I found to have been a good way to write the third and last book in the Harmless trilogy. 

This book is maybe the darkest one and it may cause triggers for some because of the kidnapping and flashbacks to when Lindsay was raped.  The book goes on to cover how Drew saves Lindsay from her kidnapping and has a happy ending as well but I won't give that away.

You get insight into the darkness that Lindsay is drowning in after being rescued and how it is her body's way of coping with trauma but then you get insight into what Drew went through four years ago and how he is able to bring Lindsay back from the abyss that she is in.   A lot of times when people say that they know what you are going through they don't but in the case of this story Drew actually does.

I enjoy how it shows some family relationships and how they are more toxic and the parents are focused on themselves instead of what is actually good for the child.  I have read a lot of books but none that have had this aspect.

You really feel for what Lindsay has to go through.

The book series reminds me a little of the show Pretty Little Liars because you don't know until the end of this book who was behind everything but there are times where you might think you know who it is but they are people who are kinda framed instead and are victims to the person behind the whole mess.

This book also shows corruption in the government because of how far up the chain it must go in order for the person behind the whole thing to get away with it all for as long as they do.

Razing Grace Part 1 by Amo Jones book 3 in the Devils Own series

When I first started reading this book I was extremely confused because I didn't realize that it was book three in the Devil's Own Series.  Even though I hadn't read the first two books I was drawn in and loved every page.  The twisted parts were the best of course.

Be warned though, the book has a couple parts that are fairly gore filled put through out it.

But.  If you want a book that is twisted and full of corruption with some hot sex scenes then this is the book for you.

I have read this book at least four times now and everything flows, there are almost no spelling mistakes which is great because I usually find quite a few the more times that I read a book.  I was almost at the end of the book and the one spelling mistake was 'stars' instead of 'stairs'.  ONE mistake in an entire book?!?!?!?! I was so happy.

5 stars for this book without a doubt.

Sadly, even though there was only one mistake spelling/ grammar wise that stood out to me there were other discrepancies in this book.  When I was reading Hellraiser, book 2 in the Devil's Own Series I realized something.  Millie says that her old priest was father David and he passed away.  So why is it in this book that on chapter 7 page 38 the priest comes in and Millie recognizes him as the priest who was chasing after her and shot the nun in book two, father David.  So how can he be alive?

The epilogue in book 2 has Millie describing the drivers mask as 'all steel with a single red slash across the forehead and down to the chin.'  The preface in this book describes the steel mask as having a chunk missing out of the corner near his mouth.

Something I don't understand is that Millie isn't blind folded when in the SUV but before they take her out the put a rag over her eyes and then as soon as she is out they take it of.  What is the point of that?  She also calls the vehicle an SUV and then a truck and there is a difference between the two vehicles.

A Harmless Little Ruse by Meli Raine

A Harmless Little Ruse is book two in the Harmless Trilogy by Meli Raine.  I really enjoyed this book.  It moves quickly like the first one and I could not put it down.

The only problem I had with this book is that it was in Drew's perspective and just is.  I feel like it should have been a mix of his and Lindsay's views because suddenly going from one perspective to the other like that between books makes for an adjustment on the readers part.

A Harmless Little Game by Meli Raine

I stumbled across this book unexpectedly when I was watching random videos on Facebook because it came up in an ad.

This book is not one that I normally read.  It is a political suspense trilogy and all three books are out which is a good thing because the first two end in cliff hangers.  I don't read political books because the jargon bores me and I have never been interested in the genre. 

This is the first book in the trilogy and it is done in Lindsay's perspective.  The book was amazing and I was not able to put it down.  The book moves extremely quickly though, it covers only a few days and then it is done.  I still loved it though because the author didn't skip out on a whole bunch of details to get the book done and over with.

The Silver Swan by Amo Jones

The Silver Swan is the first book that I read by Amo Jones.  Her books are known for the twists and turns that drag you in and leave you reeling.  I absolutely loved this book and I could not put it down.

It took reading this book a few times before I realized a couple inconsistencies.

1) When the book starts Madison is in school and describing one of the other characters.  She starts by saying how Tatum is wearing highly fashionable clothing and then goes on about how the school has a uniform.  When Madison gets home it says she gets changed out of her jeans.

So is there a school uniform or is there not a school uniform?

2) When Madison is introduced to the Elite Kings she is not introduced to Brantley but when she is at home she knows his name even though she doesn't know who he is.

Crowned By Hate by Amo Jones

True to its word this book is definitely one that is twisted like the rest of Amo Jones books. The ending is unexpected and will leave you reeling.

While this book is done in true Amo fashion I'm sad to say that I did not like this book. It was not what I thought it would be and was a disappointing read. There were words capitalized that should not have been in the middle of sentences like If, Is, It etc. Then there was inconsistent spelling of the main character - Isa - sisters name. Her name was Brianna but spelled in two different ways through out the book.

The ending was the twisted part and it leaves you wondering what you just read because it is confusing. I was lost through out different parts of the book where it would go from a memory to the present randomly and then back again. I was left wondering why about a few things and the ending just made those parts more confusing. For example: why do Bryant's parents get sent pictures of his dead brother and what does that have to do with Isa being kidnapped. 

The twist at the end of the book just seems like a second thought add on to keep it interesting.  I think the term that is used is incorrect because from what I know about it, what Isa has doesn't fit the description of that illness.

Making the Cut by Anne Malcom Review

This book was interesting for awhile and when I say awhile I mean the first few chapters.  It got really annoying really fast after that.  First off the short of because is cause, not cos, and when all you can say is "cos" repeatedly in each chapter you need a new damn dictionary and thesaurus.  Imagine this "cos, cos, cos, cos, cos, cos,cos" over and over and over again never using a different word because the vocabulary the author knows seems to be so tiny.  And what is with the color white?  From what I gathered in this book Gwen and Amy really seem to like the color white.  Most of their house it white.  Their store is white.  Honestly it's not that hard to pick another color for your writing, to have some different words mixed in there with the cos and the white.  Thirdly, they are incredibly obsessed with their looks which then leaves you to wonder about the author if so much of the focus is on clothing and make-up.

To be honest I didn't make it through this book because it drove me absolutely nuts.  And this time it wasn't even because of how bad the grammar and punctuation was, what a shock right?  Either way, I only made it halfway through this book before I stopped.  I already covered the reasons why but here they are again: 1) over use of the word cos 2) the main color the person uses to describe a lot of things is white and 3) it was boring and it was a miracle that I made it halfway through the book.

Who knows, maybe in the very distant future I will be able to read the entire book but definitely not right now.

Diesel by Aimee-Louise Foster Review

When I first got this book I was so excited to read it after going over the cover.  I got the book and opened it on my kindle and started to read.  The first thing I didn't like was the girl's name, Harlow.  Not because it's a bad name but the book reminded me of another book, Ravage Me by Ryan Michele where the female protagonists name is Harlow and her nickname from the Club is Princess.  I personally feel like Harlow is a pretty unique name, one that I haven't found in any books apart from the Ravage MC series.

The second thing I found annoying was that the author almost never seemed to say "while" instead it was always "whilst" and that just never seemed right in this book.  She also said "as" a lot.  While there is nothing wrong with that word I feel that a lot of the time when she used it the word "since" would have been better.

Thirdly, and I find this one was a big problem for me, she never said ass.  It was always arse, or arsehole and that took away from the book.  It's an MC book, they swear in those books!  You can't just have a bunch of swearing and then take out that word, it doesn't work.  When she said arse or arsehole I automatically was jolted from the book and just really annoyed that she would say that instead of ass.  It took away from what could have been a great book.

Fourthly, in all the books I have read that had to do with MC's, which are a lot, the cuts they wore were referred to as rags or cuts.  In this book, it was a little confusing because I think they were called fags but it seemed like they were called a variety of things and there wasn't much consistency.  Plus the word fag, when I hear it it doesn't seem like a nice word or one that would be used to refer to a cut or a rag.

To conclude I thought I would like this book, it was a book I was interested in.  I didn't base if I would like it off the books cover or genre I based it off of romance recommendations and reading the back.

Opulence: The Excess book 1 by Angelica Chase Review

I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was an amazing read.  It took me a little while to get into it but I was hooked after the second chapter.  The only downfall of the book was the ending.  It wasn't a horrible ending but it wasn't my favorite either.  I felt like a little more could have been added but then it didn't really even need more of an ending.  Overall it was a great book, definitely five stars in my opinion.

Wattpad Rant About The Werewolf Books - Me

I used to love wattpad, it had great stories that were interesting and creative and there was so much variety to them.  My favorites were the werewolf books, I read so many of them and loved almost all of them but then I started to notice that they all ended up having something in common.  Every single book mentioned a "moon goddess" and in every single book it was the alpha falling in love for the omega, and if not the omega the person that was least likely or human.

Honestly, in what website or book or guide does it say that the alpha has to be a man whore that falls in love with the omega?  And where does it say that to write a werewolf book you need to mention the moon goddess, whomever that is, and they have to make one wolf really special and have it so that the wolf that they describe doesn't even seem like a wolf?  I mean common people!  Wattpad used to be so creative and had so many ideas but then all of a sudden people started to just keep reusing the same idea.

And that is why I will not read wattpad books of the werewolf genre anymore.

The Dark Heroine by Abigail Gibbs Review

I started reading this book a few months ago but then stopped because even though I was three quarters of the way through I knew how it was going to end.

 "The Sexiest Romance I'll Read This Year"?  Uh, no.  More like, "The most predictable book I'll read all year".  There are parts of the books that are interesting and then there are parts that just bored me to death.  The concept of this book is good and it is different.  I can honestly say that I have never read a book like this one for two reasons.  I have never read a book that was so predictable and I have never read a book that had all these different types of creatures in them with, abilities, for lack of a more descriptive word.  The book is interesting, I'll give it that, but sadly an interesting book does not always make for a good book.  It takes more than being interesting and different for a book to be good in my mind.  Because honestly, no matter how interesting a book is, it looses every good aspect when it becomes predictable.  No one wants to read a book when they know what the ending is going to be like before they even get there.  Yeah, to put everything together you need to read the entire book but the ending is still going to be the same and you still know what is going to happen.

There are a lot of books out there and anyone can put a twist on an over told story to make it better, which is good, and I'm sure takes talent but when doing that people need to make sure their ending isn't boring or easy to find out.

To rate this book I would give it a two point five star review.

Inferno Glory MC: Leather and Lace by J.A. Fredericks

This book was amazing.  I loved it and could not put it down.  When reading, I didn't notice any mistakes of any kind.  The book had me from the beginning right until the end.  It was descriptive, it had some hot scenes with detail and it wasn't complete mush and all lovey dovey.  The twist in this book was great and left me wanting more.  I'm not sure what else to say about this book other than I think it would definitely be a five star book.

All Access: Chasing Cross- Book One by Karolyn James

This book is listed as a Romance and that is exactly what it is.

I started reading it and the first two or three chapters seemed really good.  It follows the story of an author and the singer in a rock band.  The book plummets after that.  It is completely unrealistic.  It is impossible to fall in love with someone in less than three days especially when you know almost nothing besides them, and besides, what normal girl has sex with a man that she just met the day before?  Sorry, I'm not sorry when I say how annoyed this book made me due to how unbelievable it was.  And the sex?  Barely descriptive and you can't really picture in your head what they are doing.  One of the best things about books is when they are so descriptive you can almost see what is happening, this book didn't have that.  One thing about romance books is the imagery, being able to visualize that.  It is a different genre than erotica but that doesn't mean you skip out on all the details and just refer to it as "making love" every time they do it.

Another problem that I had with this book was that it was "he said" "she said" a lot of different times and honestly who wants to read a book where the author's main character is an author and all the person can really come up with after the person talks is "said"?

In my opinion the book sucked.  I did have a hard time putting it down but only because I wanted to finish it so that I could write a review and move onto the next book that I wanted to read.

If I were to rate this book it would be one star. . . if that.

Outlaw Revenge by London Casey Review

This book was an amazing read, I could barely put it down.  My only problem with it was the spelling mistakes, or whatever you call it when the sentence doesn't make sense due to the wrong word being used.  Other than that one thing that was somewhat very noticeable to me, the book was great and I loved it.  Outlaw Revenge was not a disappointing read at all.  A 4.5 star in my opinion.

Steel Temptation by London Casey Review

What to say about this book?  I really liked it.  The book was easy for me to get into and it wasn't slow but it wasn't too fast and provided lots of details.

The one thing I am not sure about in this book is the terminology.  In all the other motorcycle club books I have read the women that were not old lady's were referred to as club mommas or sweet butts but in this book they are called relievers and it isn't a term I have heard before in other books of the same genre.

Another problem I had with this book was that it had quite a few spelling mistakes, well not mistakes but it seemed like words were missing.  I don't know if that is because it is a kindle copy of the book or what but that was my main problem when reading.

Other than those two things I think the book is great and it had my attention the whole way through.  4.5 stars definitely and if it weren't for those mistakes it would be a 5 star.

S.I.R by Samantha Knight Review

When I got this book I looked at the title and I saw the cover and thought to myself, "Man this looks really good and interesting!"

I started reading and it was okay at first, not too slow or fast and it held my interest.  The problems occurred when I realized that the chapters went back and forth between perspectives.  In some books that's great, not a problem at all because some authors know how to do it right.  Sadly, in this case, Samantha Knight didn't seem to get the concept.  She would have chapters in one perspective and then another chapter in a different perspective.  Now that can lead to an interesting book but in this case, for the most part, it seemed that it did not.  The chapters over lapped for the most part but some had details others didn't.  I would read the chapter from one perspective and the next chapter would end up being almost the previous one just from someone else's view.

One of the biggest problems seemed to be lack of vocabulary variation.  What really stood out to me was when the guys addressed each other.  It went like this "hey man, sup man, hey bro, sup dude" and other variations like that.  And then there was the whole he says, he says, he says or she says she says she says.  A lot of the book conversations ended with says or say and it got to be very annoying.
The book would go at a good pace but then it would go too fast and then it would go too slow, in my opinion, and I had to force myself to finish the book and continue to give it a chance.

I finished the book and was so annoyed by the ending that I thought I would give the book the "honor" of being my first review.

If I knew more about the book now than I did before I would not have read the book and I know that I will not read the book again.
