Vain

If you’re looking for a story about a good, humble girl, who’s been hurt by someone she thought she could trust, only to find out she’s not as vulnerable as she thought she was and discovers an empowering side of herself that falls in love with the guy who helps her find that self, blah, blah, blah...then you’re gonna’ hate my story.

Because mine is not the story you read every time you bend back the cover of the latest trend novel. It’s not the “I can do anything, now that I’ve found you/I’m misunderstood but one day you’ll find me irresistible because of it” tale. Why? Because, if I was being honest with you, I’m a complete witch. There’s nothing redeeming about me. I’m a friend using, drug abusing, sex addict from Los Angeles. I’m every girlfriend’s worst nightmare and every boy’s fantasy.

I’m Sophie Price...And this is the story about how I went from the world’s most envied girl to the girl no one wanted around and why I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

************

I am showing you the old cover verse the New cover just incase you saw this book & passed it up.

Old Cover looks like it's going to be a Werewolf paranormal book but it's anything but!

 Which the Author heard what everyone said and revamped it!.

First off there is no hot steamy sex in this book.......Hot Steamy make out sessions & undeniable physical attraction but that's it- it. This is a Young Adult book and my Motto is anything that swoons the heart is Lady Porn because the Heart is directly connected to the crotch :). 

Now with the lack of sex it certainly doesn't make it any less of a book- 

this book is hands down Fabulous! 

It is a beautifully sad wonderful heart warming story about one girls transformation and when she is forced home how her past life treats her. I of course started the book loathing Sophie and actually feeling sorry for her. Ian of course I loved him off the bat but then finding out about his past life made me say Wow and how much him and Sophie had in common and actually wondering 

who had crueler parents- Still a toss up but one of them seems to 

redeem themselves at the end. The odd thing in this book was there were 2 loose ends that never got answered-at the beginning of the book there is a Jerreck who I assume was part of Sophia group and passed away but not sure how- I think it would have been nice to throw a paragraph in there on how he died. Then there is a reference to Ian having maybe gotten someone pregnant but no elaboration- that one for sure needed some follow up. 

Fabulous Ending!

Quotes:

"I rule this roost because i'm the most wanted by all the guys, and all the girls want to be my friend because of it."

"I'd been called beautiful so many times. It gratified me, validated me, bit it was all empty, a facade."

"Proximity to Ian Aberdeen was my kryptonite."

"The shortest distance between two points is the line from me to you."

Loving Hart

Destiny gave them each other...

From the moment he saw her, Spencer Cross knew that Delilah Hart was special. Understanding that she needed him to be strong for her, Spencer endured a childhood filled with secrets, lies and abuse. Delilah gave him a reason to live as she protected his heart and kept him from going off the rails.

Delilah knew that fate had delivered the love of her life to her at a very early age. Spencer was her anchor and the reason she believed in true love. She'd never doubted that they were meant to be together forever.

Until chance threatened to rip them apart...

Will Delilah be able to convince Spencer to let go of his demons, or will she be forced to walk away with only the memories?

***********

I was not happy with the second book in the Hart Family Series called Shattered Hart but Thankfully someone commented on that review telling me that this book redeemed the series. 

I am glad I took her advice and read it because it was Fabulous. It really dove into their childhood and made things even more clear. Not much repeating of things that already happened. Lots of Hot Hot raunchy Sex!! At the end it started to get a bit sappy for me. The ending was Good but there are still loose ends that will continue in the next book"Finding Hart" which is more Dante & Sabrina following "Missing Hart" which is Dillon's story. You will have to read this one to find out who Dillon is. 

There's also "Unbroken Hart" which was released 12/30/12 which is a short book about Dante. 

Quote:

"I love you Delilah and I'll love you until the day I die. You're the reason that my life wound up being worth anything angel, and I swear to you that I'll move Heaven and Earth to be worthy of you, always."

Wallbanger

Caroline Reynolds has a fantastic new apartment in San Francisco, a KitchenAid mixer, and no O (and we’re not talking Oprah here, folks). She has a flourishing design career, an office overlooking the bay, a killer zucchini bread recipe, and no O. She has Clive (the best cat ever), great friends, a great rack, and no O.

Adding insult to O-less, since her move, she has an oversexed neighbor with the loudest late-night wallbanging she’s ever heard. Each moan, spank, and--was that a meow?--punctuates the fact that not only is she losing sleep, she still has, yep, you guessed it, no O.

Enter Simon Parker. (No, really, Simon, please enter.) When the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. Their late-night hallway encounter has, well, mixed results. Ahem. With walls this thin, the tension’s gonna be thick...

In her third novel, Alice Clayton returns to dish her trademark mix of silly and steamy. Banter, barbs, and strutting pussycats, plus the sexiest apple pie ever made, are dunked in a hot tub and set against the gorgeous San Francisco skyline in this hot and hilarious tale of exasperation at first sight.

***********

Alice Clayton rolls Hilarious into Hot once again!

The Banter between Caroline and Simon is just Hilarious and Hot at times.

I couldn't put this book down I had to find out if Simon and Caroline get together.

Then just when I thought finally it's going to happen NOPE! wth was all I could think and furiously kept reading to know how this could possibly turn around. 

The ending was ok I was hoping for more a of HEA but I obviously will take what I can get. 

Lot's of Hot Sticky Sex but not until far into the book. There are a few side romances within the book that are a bit of a mess at first.

Quotes:

"Kittens, lay back. You are about to get Wallbanged"

"I panted like a whore in church. The Church of Simon...where I was dying to kneel before him."

"Okay, he smiled back.....Stupid tata turner-downer...I mean, 

what's up with that? And he was hard!?

"the feeling of his hi-there against my hoohah was indescribable. He rained kisses down upon my neck, licking and sucking as I moaned like a whore in church."

"I was ready for some serious Simon Wang."

"An O has been lost, and I'm a sucker for a challenge."

"He fits inside me perfectly, two halves of a whole, some kind of sexual Lego."

Hear Me

She doesn’t remember her past, only her training. She can’t talk, not that a good slave should speak out of turn. None of that matters when she wakes up in the warm, rustic room. Her new master is distant but kind. There’s only one problem: he doesn’t want her.

Longing for the shackles of safety, she pulls from the last dregs of her will to prove her worth as a slave. It seems to be working. He responds first to her body and next to her submission. The secrets of his past haunt the cabin, fraying the tightening bond between Master and slave, but it is her own memories that may finally unravel it.

This is the 3rd book in Skye Warren's Dark Erotica Series.
I couldn't read them back to back it would have been too much Disturbing Darkness.
This is the least Disturbing out of the 3 books.
All I wanted was Sam to pull her in and Love her. I certainly didn't expect that he was a Dom. 

When Melody puts all the pieces together it's rather frightening and I couldn't help feel bad since she was alone in the world. There are some hot and dark sex scenes nothing to raunchy. The ending had good closure.

Devoured

Sienna Jensen had no plans to return home when she graduated college last spring—after all, her dreams lie in California. But when she discovers her grandmother’s Nashville home has been foreclosed, and the new owner has started the eviction process, Sienna has no other choice but go back to Music City. And she comes face to face with the flawed, gorgeous man she never thought she’d see again. The man who now holds the deed to her grandma’s estate.

When millionaire rock star Lucas Wolfe finds the outspoken redhead glaring at him from across a courtroom, he’s both infuriated and intrigued. He still can't get the night Sienna almost spent with him out of his mind, and the chemistry between them is as undeniable as it was two years ago. He craves Sienna more than ever. And just like everything Lucas hungers for, he’s determined to have her.

Now, Lucas will do whatever it takes to lure Sienna into his bed, even if that means making a deal with her: ten days with him, playing by his rules, and he’ll hand over the deed to her grandmother’s home. Though she agrees to the arrangement, Sienna is conflicted. Because of her duty to her family. Because of promises she’s made to herself and a past that still haunts her. And as Lucas’s game of seduction continues, and Sienna is introduced to his dark, erotic world and even darker background, she realizes that at any moment, she could be devoured.

Quick read at 162 pages

By the cover I was thinking Sienna was going to have some blue 

in her hair but nope it's Red!

The only issue I had with this book is that Lucas is a Dom but it's not said and even know there is a contract for Sienna to sign that aleuts to there also being a d/s contract as well the submissive role is never explained to her leaving her concerned about being tied up and giving over control. I am sad it took Lucas so long to find his way back to Sienna but luckily it worked out. I really thought the book was going to end on a sour note. As always I would love to hear more about Sienna and Lucas' relationship as it starts growing from here with the thorn that is sure to be an issue named Sam.
