Be still my heart. I am overflowing with emotion. This was such an amazing story! I absolutely loved everything about this couple. I knew it was going to be a story to remember. From the very beginning, I knew that West would own my heart. I could not put this book down. I had to walk away from adulting because I was consumed by everything I felt while reading. It was beyond good! Two broken hearts that came together to make one epic love story. I devoured it! I have loved everything I’ve read by LJ Shen. This one may just be my new favorite! ~Review by Lys

  BUT I NEED YOU (This Love Hurts Trilogy #2) by Willow Winters Release Date: October 20th   Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54304548-but-i-need-you   Preorder But I Need You: https://geni.us/On2C   Start the Series Today!! This Love Hurts DOWNLOAD TODAY: https://geni.us/30Zky     Blurb: Some love stories are a slow burn. Others are quick to ignite, scorching and branding your very soul before you’ve taken that first breath. You’re never given a chance to run from it. That’s how I’d describe what happened to us. Everything around me blurred and all that existed were his lips, his touch… The chase and the heat between us became addictive. Our nights together were a distraction, one we craved to the point of letting the world crumble around us. We should have paid more attention; we should have known that it would come to this. We both knew it couldn’t last, but that didn’t change what we desired most. All we wanted was each other… This is the second book in the This Love Hurts trilogy and This Love Hurts, book one, must be read first.     About the Author: Willow Winters is so happy to be a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and #1 Contemporary Best Selling Author! Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two. In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!   Stay up to date with Willow: Sign up to Willow's newsletter and receive EXCLUSIVE content, sneak peeks, and FREE books monthly: http://eepurl.com/b98e3D Follow W Winters on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2kBla8e Follow W Winters on Goodreads: http://bit.ly/2WWGReads Follow W Winters on Bookbub: http://bit.ly/2L6c8va Follow Willow Winters on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2xEJTSP Follow Willow Winters on Goodreads: http://bit.ly/2WWGRFollow Follow Willow Winters on Bookbub: http://bit.ly/2wwbbub Follow Willow on Twitter: http://bit.ly/2wwtwitter Follow Willow on Instagram: http://bit.ly/2wwaIG</a Follow Willow on Book+Main: http://bit.ly/2WWBandM  

***New Release!*** GOD OF MONSTERS by Keri Lake

 Title: God of Monsters

Author: Keri Lake

 God of Monsters is the fourth book in the Juniper Unraveling series, a dark and haunting romance, set in a world decimated by a deadly contagion.



 

BLURB


I’ve heard stories about the Alphas. Violent soldiers, bred to kill both humans and mutations, whose sole purpose was to balance our survival against the infected. 

 

Until they turned on their masters.

 

Held as subjects of the Calico research facility, they were forced to endure the gruesome experiments that transformed them into callous savages with hearts as impenetrable as their defenses. More terrifying than the monsters that decimated our world with disease and famine.

 

In the aftermath of Calico’s collapse, many of the Alphas fled, only to be hunted by our own Legion army. And in their absence, the balance has shifted. 

 

I thought they no longer existed.

Until I met him, the god of monsters.

Now I don’t believe in the stories anymore.

 

To fall in love with the unyielding heart of an Alpha is said to be impossible.

 

But to fall in love with a god would be a tragedy.

Where do I begin? I don't usually read dystopian or post apocalyptic stories, but I thought I'd give this series a try since I have read and loved other stories from this author. Let me just start by saying, I loved it! From the very first book, I was hooked and enamored with the storyline and it's characters. I became engrossed in a world like no other. A world filled with no morality, no hope, fear and brutality. A world with a contagion that creates these scary as hell ragers and mad scientist that have their own, wicked agenda. Sounds crazy, right? Well, don't let that stop you from reading it if you are like I was and only read romance. There is SO much more to this story! There is romance. There is love, and sacrifice, and immense perseverance. It has everything that you would want from a romance and so much more!

I loved Titus and Thalia. They were each other's missing piece to their shattered souls. The way Keri Lake is able to bring the reader into their story was brilliant. I felt ALL the emotions! This story kept me on the edge of my seat and held my heart in it's grasp the entire time. This is a book you do not want to put down. It's intense, suspenseful, emotional, and completely devastating. My heart still aches!

If you are looking for a story... a series that will completely consume you, THIS is it. I highly recommend!

♥ Lys

But their connection is fierce.

Their attraction unending.

It only takes one glance for their worlds to collide.

Wow! What a read! Richard and Violet's story blew me away! I had no idea who Richard was before reading his story. I was completely wrong on my initial assessment of him in the previous books. He definitely was more than what I expected. I loved reading this second chance, rock star romance. 

Like all A.L. Jackson novels, it was written so beautifully. She never fails to capture all my emotions and take me on a thrilling ride. I did not see that twist coming and that's why I loved it so much. 

I adored Richard and Violet. They may just be my favorite couple from this series. I loved the complexity of their relationship. A.L.

Bring You Back by Malynda Schlegel

Bring You Back (Bellsby Beach, #1)Bring You Back by Malynda Schlegel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I’m so sad it’s over. Boy, was I hooked just by reading the synopsis!! Bring You Back is a story that will always be remembered! I loved it. I also liked the length of it. It was so good. I didn’t want it to end! So, the fact that it was a longer story, was perfect! My heart pretty much broke for everyone involved. I was able to really connect with every character. I liked how they all were different, but loved their roles in their friendships.

There was definitely a slow burn between Julian and Camille, but I loved living through it! I also felt so sad for Reyna. I’m sure it’s not easy feeling the way she felt about herself. As for Tommy, he really is the perfect example of... the nice guy finishes last. I’m totally pulling for him! Of course, every story has to have that one character that just is there for laughs, and well, that’s Banks! Lol. He was a great addition to the story!

So, as you can tell, I was really into this story! I’m really looking forward to the next release in the series! That ending with Reyna??? A nail biter!

The Wreckage of Us by Brittainy C. Cherry ~Release Blitz


The Wreckage of Us, an all-new emotional and passionate standalone romance from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now!



Never in a million years did I think it would be Ian Parker who saved me...

I know I should stay away from Ian Parker.

But when my drug-dealing stepdad kicks me out, I have nowhere to go. Squatting in an abandoned shed on Ian’s grandpa’s farm seems like as good a plan as any.

Ian finds me there, of course, and he insists on me moving into his spare room. I should say no, but the appeal of a roof and a warm bed is too much. Not to mention Ian’s brown eyes and strong arms.

We’re nothing alike, but the spark between us is undeniable. My life is finally looking up.

Until I call the cops on my stepdad and unintentionally get my pregnant mom arrested.

Now I have to sacrifice my dreams to take care of my mom’s baby. She’s the only family I have left. Meanwhile, Ian’s band is taking off; his dreams are coming true.

Ian is my one chance at love. I just hope he doesn’t become the one chance that got away.


5 Stars!

When it comes to this author, I feel as if reviews are no longer needed. At this point, anyone that has read a book by Brittainy C. Cherry, knows how good her writing is. All that really needs to be said is that it’s written by her and it should be a no brainer.

The Wreckage of Us is as always, a great love story. Ian and Hazel’s story is full of angst and passion. Of course, every love story has its struggles, but there’s nothing that Ian wasn’t willing to work through to be able to call Hazel his. There’s so many parts of this story that I highlighted! Brittainy always seems to melt my heart when it comes to her hero’s words...

“I’m fighting for you whether you like it or not, Hazel Stone. Our love song isn’t over. We’re just getting to the chorus, and I’m going to sing for you, for us, until forever.”

Or..

“What does a promise from a boy like you mean to a girl like me, Ian Parker?”

“Everything”. I confessed. “It means everything.”



So many good parts! I loved it all! But seriously? Who doesn’t? Just go ahead and one click now!!
