After The Rain by Stacey Johnston ~ Review by Juls

After the RainAfter the Rain by Stacey Johnston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


“I’ll walk right there beside you with each step forward you take, and if you fall, I’ll stop and help you pick yourself up. We can brush off any dirt together and carry on, hand in hand.”

The love that Penny had for Alec was unconditional. She is the perfect example of “in sickness and in health” when wedding vows are said. She is one strong women and an amazing supporter for Alec. Alec is sick and the struggles that he goes through are those that many may be able to relate to. I’m not too sure many people could deal with it as gracefully as Penny did. Honestly, I’m not sure I’d be able to manage the way she did when it came to Alec. However, I do believe that love can concur all and get us through the most trying times.

After the Rain had a great storyline. One I’m sure will have many readers reaching for a box of tissues. I believe that it was written well, and I can see where the author wanted to take her audience.

Unfortunately, I was unable to connect to the characters which kind of made it hard for me to keep reading. I did finish it, and I did like the way it ended. I just wish I felt the characters a little more.

— Meghan March, New York Times bestselling author

PERVERSION FRONT AMAZON.jpg

Love is supposed to be a fairy tale.
Ours is a death wish.
I'm the executioner for the Bedlam Brotherhood.
She's a con artist working for my greatest enemy.
I use her.
She manipulates me.
We find ourselves on opposite sides of a bloody war.
My heart and head tell me I have to stay away.

PERVERSION_TEASER1_an.jpg

Holy shit balls people! T.M. Frazier has done it again and just reminded us that she is the queen of dark romantic suspense with her latest release, Perversion! Fans of King are going to lose their freakin' minds! Perversion has that INTOXICATING King vibe! I felt it immediately and was like... FUCK YEAH! I devoured this book!

T.M. Frazier does an incredible job setting up this GRITTY storyline. We meet the hero and heroine when they are young and innocent, making it nearly impossible to not fall in love with them. You will become emotionally invested in their story to the point where your very own heart aches for them. Then she creates this world, this place where gangs reign and only the strong survive, that grabs a hold of you and keeps you hostage. The characters are so much more than players in this story. They are real and raw and make you feel like you are right there with them. Feeling every INTENSE, gut wrenching moment.

The hero is DARK, DELICIOUS and every bit as alluring as the model that graces the cover. The heroine is strong, sassy, and determined. Just the way we love our T.M. Frazier women! In true Frazier fashion, T.M. skates the line of an MC book, but instead creates a genre so uniquely her own.

Once you pick up this book, you will not want to put it down. It's all CONSUMING! If you've been missing that epic high you felt when you first read King, you know that sensation in the pit of your stomach that makes you feel excited, anxious, and on the edge with anticipation, then #1-Click Perversion today! I promise, it's one hell of a read!

About the Author
T.M. (Tracey Marie) Frazier never dreamed that a single person would ever read a word she wrote when she published her first book. Now, she is a five-time USA Today bestselling author and her books have been translated into numerous languages and published all around the world. T.M. enjoys writing what she calls sexy‘wrongside of the tracks romance’ with morally corrupt anti-heroes and ballsy heroines. Her books have been described as raw, dark and gritty. Basically, what that means, is while some authors are great at describing a flower as it blooms, T.M. is better at describing it in the final stages of decay. She loves meeting her readers, but if you see her at an event please don’t pinch her because she's not ready to wake up from this amazing dream.

About EXQUISITE TASTE

He was a dare she couldn’t walk away from.
She was a game he was determined to win.
Jensen Stone was thriving in her first year of college. So thirsty for success she could already taste the achievements on her lips. Nothing would get in the way of her dreams, not even the social pressures of pledging. Until one night, she finds herself in the lion’s den of sorority row, accepting a dare she knew she couldn’t complete.
Damien Cross was bored. He no longer craved the dominance and control he had swirling in the palms of his powerful hands. He was determined to walk away from the empire he'd spent the last ten years building. What he didn’t factor in was the unexpected distraction. He might be angry at her inconvenient timing, but the urge to break the new toy dangling in front of him was all consuming. It wouldn’t hurt to play one last time.
One night. His rules.
Will she obey his demands to fulfill a dare?
Or will she realize his dark tastes are anything but exquisite?

For You by Alexandra Silva ~ Release Blitz

Book: 'FOR YOU'
Author: Alexandra Silva
Release Date: 27th September 2018 

ON SALE - 99p or 99c pre-order and Release Date only

#ForYouReleaseBlitz #AlexandraSilva 
 
 ðŸŒ»Blurb  
Dear Phillip, In one moment life can change. In a blink of an eye. With the click of a finger. We’ve loved, we’ve fought, and we’ve won. You and I. We’ve held on and on, and now it seems that fate demands we let go. I thought that you’d be the death of me. Turns out that I may be the death of you. They taught me that if you love someone, you let them go. They were wrong. I let go—now, I’d do anything just to have you once more. I’d do anything…for you.

 ðŸŒ»*Note: FOR YOU will only be available on all platforms for 99c for preorder and release day, then it'll be moving to Kindle Unlimited so make sure you order if you read on a different platform. NO ONE BUT YOU is already available in KU.
 ðŸŒ»**Disclaimer: If you have not read No One But You please be aware that this is a prequel to Dorian's HEA, this book does not end happily.


 
5 Stars!!


Sooooo good and so funny! I really liked it. I love the friendship between Dorian, Quincy, and Willow. Those ladies cracked me up! Willow is so outspoken; I love that she just says whatever she wants. She is definitely the crazy one out of the bunch. I feel like Dorian is the more serious one and Quincy really is a little of both. She knows how to have fun, says what she wants, but also has a serious side to her. I can’t wait to read more about their friendship in the upcoming releases.

As for, For You, I know this is considered a prequel to book one. But, I really wish it was released as the first book in the series. I feel that it gave me background between the characters that I would have liked prior to reading, No One But You. I think it would have been nice to know the full history between Jamie and Quincy before starting their story. I also think that For You would have been more of an emotional read for me if I didn't already know the outcome of Phillip and Dorian's story. I obviously still liked it, so it doesn't change my ratings, but I personally would recommend reading this first. However, if you do decide to read For You first and you absolutely don't want any spoilers, I would stop at the epilogue then go into No One But You. Once you're done with that, you can go back to the epilogue in For You. It would bring everything full circle and set you up for book 3 which, I'm so excited for!!!

"Love is supposed to be a fairy tale. Ours is a death wish."

Holy amaze balls people! T.M. Frazier has done it again and just reminded us that she is the queen of dark romantic suspense with her latest release, Perversion! Fans of King are going to lose their freakin' minds! Perversion has that INTOXICATING King vibe! I felt it immediately and was like... F&%K YEAH! *fist pump* I devoured this book!

Once Upon A Sure Thing by Lauren Blakely: Review by Lys

Once Upon a Sure Thing (Heartbreakers, #2)Once Upon a Sure Thing by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aww...what a super cute read! These Heartbreaker men are adorable! Miller and Ally had such a fun friends-to-lovers-story. Miller has a laid back, easy going personality, but when things became intimate, he was intense and super sexy! Lauren Blakely sure knows how to write some HOT scenes! In the end, I was glad to see everything work out for Ally. That ending with Chloe, brought tears to my eyes. This was such a great read!

If you are looking for a light, read-in-one-sitting, sweet and fun love story (with some serious heat), look no further! Once Upon A Sure Thing is the perfect book for you!

Our Final Tale by Bella Jewel




Title: Our Final Tale
Series: Iron Fury MC #6
Author: Bella Jewel
Genre: Romance
Release Date: September 24, 2018



Blurb

SLATER
For over a decade I searched for her. 
She disappeared a long time ago. 
But I never gave up.
Seeing her again, it was the only thing that kept me holding on for so long. 
Clutching onto the small chance that she might know who I am when I found her again. 
If I found her again. 
It was always a big if. 
But I wasn’t going to rest until I got answers, alive or dead, I would find her.
I needed to know what happened to the girl who took my heart when we were younger, and kept it for well over a decade. 
She owns every single piece of who I am. 
Nobody else has ever come close. 
And now I’ve found her.
And she’s lookin’ at me like she doesn’t know who I am. 
Like I wasn’t her first kiss. 
Her first boyfriend. 
Her first love.
Her first heartbreak.
The man who took her innocence. 
The man who destroyed her, and caused her to run. 
The man who spent ten years trying to find her, because of one pathetic, pitiful mistake. 
I ruined her. 
And now she has no idea who I am. 
Not a single damned clue. 

ELLIE
I don’t know who he is. 
And yet something about him seems strangely familiar. 
I know nothing of who I am. 
All my memories are like hazy nightmares. I don’t know which ones are real and which ones are fake. 
I don’t even know my own name. I don’t know anything about my past. 
I only know that for the last ten years, I’ve been Raven. 
Only that isn’t my real name.
But that’s what he called me.
The monster who owned me. 
The monster disguised as a saint. 
A monster I finally escaped.
And now there’s him. 
Slater. 
A man who claims to have spent the last decade searching for me. 
His Ellie. 
He claims I’m the love of his life. 
He’s desperate for me to remember him. 
But I don’t.
Even though when I look into his eyes, I feel strangely at home. 
Like he’s the missing piece of who I am. 
But can I trust him?
Can I trust the man who claims to love me, and yet is telling me he’s the reason for my hell?
Who is telling me, it is him, who destroyed me. 
Is he a bigger monster than the one I just escaped from?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Sexy Carter Stars!

So cute!! I'm really missing my college romance stories! I enjoyed reading about Carter and Nina. So much that I read it in one sitting! It was so sweet! Actually, maybe it was Carter that made it so sweet! I did get mad at him at one point, but he and his big D definitely made up for it. Lol!! After reading this, I most likely will be looking at Reese’s Pieces differently! But in a good way! So, if you’re looking for a light, easy, no strings attached story, don’t hesitate to #1-click Friends With Benefits! I’m sure Carter won’t let you down!

The Fall Before Flight By L.M. Halloran




Title: The Fall Before Flight
Author: L.M. Halloran
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 11, 2018



Blurb

The faster you fall, the harder you hit.

I didn’t try to kill myself. It was an accident. 
No, more than that — a natural disaster. 
Fate’s fickle lightning strike.

No one believes me. 

I can't blame them, really. 
There’s something wrong with me. 
I'm incapable of emotions that come naturally to others. 
— fear, love, compassion. 

I might be a sociopath.

Everyone thinks I’m beyond help.
Everyone but Dr. Leo Chastain.

One of us is going to break the other. 

Care to place a bet?




Author Bio


When not writing or reading, the author enjoys walking barefoot, subjecting her husband to questionable recipes, and chasing her spirited toddler. She's a rabid fan of coffee, moon-gazing, and small dogs that resemble Ewoks. Home is San Diego, CA, but her heart lives in Portland.
