Hushed Torment by Bella Jewel ~ Review by Juls

Hushed Torment (Iron Fury MC, #2)Hushed Torment by Bella Jewel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The minute Hushed Torment hit my kindle, I started reading and ended up staying up until one in the morning to finish it!! I read it in one sitting. It was that good! I literally could not put it down! I think it may have been more intense than Whiskey Burning! I was looking forward to reading about Malakai and Amalie. Their relationship was everything I'd hoped for! Malakai is so intense and Amalie is the sweetest thing! Malakai, of course, had his moments that made me swoon...

“I don’t know what happened to you, Amalie, but I know that there is something inside of you that I want to reach in and curl my hands around, holdin’ onto it until it heals, until it’s put back together again, because what comes out when you play is pure, and it’s raw, and it’s so fuckin’ broken. You’re the perfect kind of jagged pieces, angel, and fuck knows I want to put them back together for you.”

I’m telling you... if you liked Whiskey Burning, you are going to love this! You will also want to read this series in order. Although both books are about different couples, the storyline is continuous. I can’t wait to see what Bella Jewel comes up with next in Koda and Charlie’s book! Those two are going to take us one wild ride!!

Behind the Bars by Brittainy C. Cherry

Release Date: December 7th, 2017 Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Designer: Kandi Steiner

Photographer: Perrywinkle Photographer

When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops.
I was the awkward musician, and she was the high school queen.
The only things we had in common were our music and our loneliness.
Something in her eyes told me her smile wasn’t always the truth.
Something in her voice gave me a hope I always wished to find.
And in a flash, she was gone.
Years later, she was standing in front of me on a street in New Orleans.
She was different, but so was I. Life made us colder. Harder. Isolated.
Caged.
Even though we were different, the broken pieces of me recognized the sadness in her.
Now she was back, and I wouldn’t make the mistake of letting her go again.
When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops.
When we met again, she was the darkest storm.

NIGHTSHADE by Molly McAdams: Review by Lys

Nightshade (Redemption, #3)Nightshade by Molly McAdams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars!

Wow! Molly McAdams continues to blow me away with her romantic suspense stories! My heart broke for Kieran in Firefly, but was soothed and healed with Nightshade. Never has a hero and heroine been more perfect for each other. I devoured this story and enjoyed every word. Filled with love, passion, heartbreak, and suspense just like the first two Redemption novels, I think fans of this series, of Molly McAdams, will appreciate the complexity of the storyline as well as Kieran’s and Jessica’s characters. Their unique bond is what made for such a remarkable story. Though Nightshade can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend you read Firefly. That way you can be utterly consumed by Kieran and his quest for redemption .

Title: Nightshade
Author: Molly McAdams
Series: A Redemption Novel
Genre: Romantic Suspense


She is chaos. She is poison. And she is the one thing I crave.


The heart-stopping final installment in New York Times bestselling author Molly McAdams’s Redemption series.
My life has never been my own. From the time I could walk, I was trained to be the mob’s hardened assassin. To be a monster. I’ve been told what to do, when to kill, and who to love. The minute I strayed, I lost everything.
Then I met Jessica.
She swept into my life like a storm of heartache, seduction, and intrigue. She’s everything I hate, but with one look, I can’t stay away. With one touch, she ignites a craving unlike anything I’ve ever known.
But her secrets threaten to destroy everything closest to me. Including her…
Together we’re poison. A destructive combination of darkness and chaos. And I want to savor every drop in my veins.

The muscles in Kieran’s jaw ticked, and the anger rolling off his body suddenly felt like a living thing. But his stare never wavered from mine as I soundlessly opened the knife at my side.
“Or did I hit a little too close for comfort last night?” I asked, my voice both seductive and mocking as I took another step closer to him and then another. “Could you just not satisfy her?”
“Enough.”
My brows rose at the growl behind his demand. “Is that right?”
His eyes held so much warning as I took the last step to press my body against his.
My body trembled and begged to get closer still, but I forced myself not to move.
I hated him for the way he felt. 
I hated him for the way my body craved more and betrayed me.
I hated him for everything he was and for making me want him in a way I’d never wanted a man.
I hated him.
“Who knew the mob’s feared assassin was lacking.”
One second I was in front of him, staring into those wild eyes, the next I was pressed face-first to the wall with Kieran’s hard body caging me against it. His strong hands were pinning mine to the wall. My knife was gone.
His chest moved roughly against my back, his breath made my hair dance along my cheek and lips, and I ached to push against where I could feel his hardened length in his jeans.
Oh God.
What is wrong with me?
I tried to force a wild laugh from my lungs.
I tried to taunt him.
But there was nothing.
“How long?” he demanded, his voice hoarse.
I curled my hands against the wall and shivered beneath him when his body moved closer and he pressed our hands harder to the wall.
“What?” I asked breathlessly.
“How long have you been watching us?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know?”
A huff tumbled from my lips when his mouth met my ear. The sound ended on a whimper when the movement forced my butt against his erection.
I needed the heavy, sickening feeling weighing my body down. I needed the disgust and hatred at having a man so close. I needed the reminder of who I was and why I did what I did.
But all I could smell was the subtle hint of his soap.
All I could see was his tattooed arms twisting over mine.
All I could feel was his lean muscles crowding around me in a way that felt so foreign and good.
And I wanted more . . .
Weak. So weak.
“How long?”
My body tensed.
If he had yelled the question, it might have been easier. But there was something truly terrifying in the soft tenor of his voice. And for the first time, I was afraid to be in the same room as him.
But I wasn’t scared for my life.
I was scared for my soul.
I slowly looked over my shoulder and forced myself to hold his disturbing stare. “Nearly half my life.”

Wow! Molly McAdams continues to blow me away with her romantic suspense stories! My heart broke for Kieran in Firefly, but was soothed and healed with Nightshade.

♥ Review by Lys 



A powerhouse romantic suspense that will have you questioning your morals and second guessing your view on love.
iBooks | B&N  | Kobo
A captivating romantic suspense that will keep you breathless until the last sentence.



Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur babies. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.

Hushed Torment by Bella Jewel ~ Release Blitz




Title: Hushed Torment
Series: Iron Fury MC #2
Author: Bella Jewel
Genre: Romance
Release Date: November 20, 2017



Blurb

One accident changed my life.
One single second changed everything for me.
In one terrifying moment, everything I knew was gone.
Music is the only thing that keeps me holding on.
When the opportunity arises for me to tour with country music star, Scarlett Belle, I take it.
An escape.
A chance. 
Only it isn’t enough to lift the shadows of my past.
And when I meet him, dangerous and different, I can’t turn away.
He is forbidden to me.
The President of a Motorcycle Club.
A man who could bring noise back into my soundless world.
But the shadows of my past haunt me.
They linger like a dark nightmare, reminding me that we can never be.
Because my sins are far too heavy.
And my mind far too broken.
Music is the only escape I can allow into my life.
The only one that I will let seep through my hungry veins.
But he’s always there.
And he’s persistent.
But if he knew what I kept behind closed doors…no.
I must continue my life just the way it is.
Without him.
Breathing in my nightmare.
Living in my Hushed Torment.

El Santo by M. Robinson ~ Blog Tour


EL SANTO BLOG TOUR
FROM USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR M. ROBINSON 




I didn’t know darkness and evil lurked inside me until I had to murder in order to survive. Forced to become my own worst enemy. With so much blood on my hands, I was surprised I could still see my own skin.

I killed.

I tortured.

I loved…

I played God while I was rotting in Hell. Thriving on control and power was the only way I knew how to live. There were no other options.
If you weren’t my friend, you were my foe.
If you weren’t with me, you were against me.
Traitors, as I called them. There were no imaginary lines. I’d crossed them all. No boundaries. No second chances. No redemption.
Not for me.
For them.
For anyone.
Only for her…
She loved me. Always convinced I was a saint, never believing I was just another sinner.
A fucking monster.


Until it was too late.


Except, I didn’t choose this life. 
It. Chose. Me.











El Santo (The Saint)El Santo by M. Robinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


4.5 Stars!!

“I’ve told you from the beginning of my story that I was nothing but a fucking monster. At least now, you can’t call me a liar…”


WTH!!! Seriously?? I’m not convinced Damien is the monster. I think M. Robinson might be for leaving us like that! We finally get what I’m sure everyone wants, and then bam... NOTHING!! Why are you such a tease, Monica? Lol! This author loves to get us all riled up just to keep us wanting more! I did like Damien. I agree with Amira and truly believe that he has a beautiful heart. Unfortunately, he isn’t able to truly show it. I think deep down he wants to be loved and live a normal life but can’t. I will admit, I was having a little issue with the age difference in a certain part of the story-line. Thankfully, it all worked itself out, and I was able to enjoy the story. Now... I’ll “try” to patiently wait for the conclusion of Damien and Amira!

Save My Heart by DC Renee ~ Release Blitz



IT'S LIVE!!



Life and death.  Exact opposites.  One brings great joy.  One brings great sorrow.  But without one, there is no other.

I gave my daughter life when I was just eighteen.  And now, at sixteen, she faces death.

From the minute I heard her little heart beating, she was my everything.  It didn’t matter that her father had left me, his empty promises a whisper in the wind.  It didn’t matter that I had needed to figure out how to get an education while being a young, single mother.  It didn’t matter that I had acted as both mother and father while trying to give her everything I could.  It didn’t even matter that she was born with a big heart that had us in and out of the hospital for all her life.  None of that mattered because just one look at her, one smile from her, and one, “I love you, Mom,” was enough to make any day better.  No love greater existed than that of a mother.

But now I was about to lose her.  My everything.

It would be up to Kieran to hold me up if my world came crashing down.  Dr. Kieran Bell.  He came into my life—our lives—and knocked down every wall I had ever put up.  He wasn’t just my daughter’s doctor; he was my friend.  He was more than my friend.  And now, I knew I’d need him more than ever.  I just hoped against hope that this time, life wouldn’t result in death.


 


5 Stars!!

“This isn’t a love story, but a story about love.”


This isn’t the first time I’ve read this quote, but I love it just as much. This quote is the perfect representation of Save My Heart. It’s right. This isn’t a love story, but a story about one of the most amazing loves that will forever live on. It didn’t happen right away, but by the time I was reading the last words, my tears wouldn’t stop falling! So yes, you will definitely need a box of tissues handy! I loved Kieran! He was so sweet. He was perfect for Dahlia and Roanna. He was everything they needed and more. DC Renee has once again delivered another great story that will never be forgotten!

-Review by Juls











DC Renee has been writing all her life, from cheesy poems in elementary school (i'll share an example just so you know how cheesy: Flowers are my favorite thing; they usually bloom during spring. Pink, blue, yellow and green, so many colors that I have seen...etc.) to short stories and monologues, and eventually fan fictions for Days of Our Lives.

It was thanks to that superbly encouraging fan fiction community that DC found the courage to publish her first book - Let Me Go. It held fast in the top 100 Best Selling Contemporary Romance Fiction Novels on Amazon for over a month, going as low as the top 20's. Naturally, she loves to read, but she also likes watching hockey, dancing for fun, and loves her family.
