Book Review and Giveaway for Friction by Sawyer Bennett

FRICTION
by SAWYER BENNETT

At the powerhouse law firm of Knight & Payne, winning comes first and ethics a distant second. Leary Michaels uses her female charms to daze opponents, and it’s always worked well—until now. On her most personal case yet, she finds herself going up against a defense attorney just as skilled, shameless, and seductive as she is.

Reeve Holloway has never met a woman as sure of her own sexuality, or as ruthless in wielding it, as Leary is. But he won’t be toyed with. What Leary starts, he’ll finish—in the courtroom, the bedroom, or any-damn-place he wants. The sex is uninhibited, electrifying, and absolutely against the rules. Reeve’s job is to ruin Leary’s case…even if it destroys her in the process and costs him the woman he’s come to love.


REVIEW: 4+ STARS

"He's crossing personal boundaries and his gift is completely unethical. His postscript highly unprofessional. But I'm not normal, and fuck...it turns me on."

Once again, Sawyer Bennett has wowed me with her book. I started this book and could NOT put it down. It's no secret I love her work, but this one just felt.....'different'.  Not bad different, but amazing different. This book had so much going on, that it just felt so complete. I know I am not making sense, but when you read a love story, sometimes you don't have a huge story to fully back up everything going on in the book, be it drama, insta-love or action. This book had an amazing plot centered around a case that Leary and Reeve were working, and I was SO caught up in what was going on with that, that it brought their intense affections that much more oomph. The content in this book was not only insanely sexy, but completely riveting as well! 

I felt so invested in this story and felt that the emotions in play were completely justifiable.....even if I didn't like them at some point. There was some real heartache going on in this story, but there was redemption as well. I understood her anger and feelings of betrayal; I saw 'her' side of things. But, on the other hand, I saw his hesitancy and 'his' side of things as well. I could honestly see both sides of the issues. These two characters played SO well off each other, and they were suited for each other. 

Leary was not one to give away her affections.....but Reeve brought something out in her that she didn't know was even possible. Reeve was something else. He was intense and powerful in his dealings, but had a heart to back himself up. I fell completely in love with him and really felt that he was a true man. REAL man. Reeve ranks right up there with Matt and Cal, and that is saying something!! This Legal Affairs series is my favorite of hers and I cannot get enough. This book is going down as one of my favorites. I really enjoyed it!! I can't recommend it enough. Great job!

Book Review and Giveaway for Written With Regret by Aly Martinez


WRITTEN WITH REGRET
by ALY MARTINEZ

When I was fifteen, a single bullet changed my life. I spent the next decade trying to outrun the devastation of my past, building an empire that would shield me from whatever life could throw at me.

But all the money in the world couldn’t help me when I found a screaming newborn abandoned on my doorstep.

I’d never wanted to be a father. Passing the sludge that ran through my veins down to an innocent child seemed like a tragedy. But there she was—pink cheeks, red hair, and mine.

Somehow, against all logic, that little girl became the best thing that ever happened to me. It was impossible to stay lost in the past when I was the only one who could protect her future.

Which is exactly why, when her mother came back four years later, I was ready for battle.

If only I could stop myself from falling in love with her during the war.


SPOILER FREE REVIEW!!!
Please try to avoid spoilers as this book's surprise element is dependent on them.

REVIEW: 4+ STARS
"She kissed me like she was drowning in us."


I don't hide any truths that Aly Martinez is one of my favorite authors. She sits in my Top 5 because I know she will always give me a story that I cannot find anywhere else. It's never the same yet there is always an underlying emotional current that causes my emotions to ramp up. I may want to hate it, but I just can't look away from it at the same time. She can definitely test my patience while telling a magnanimous story because the heaviness is not to be outdone by the brilliance in her writing. She's a master manipulator with her words, and I am always her willing manipulat....ee? I dunno, but I keep coming back for more of her manipulations.

So when that opening scene played out before my very eyes, I was shook. There was an audible gasp while I tried to come to terms with the tragedy unfolding. I mean, lives were forever changed on many, many different levels. Beyond anything I would ever want to begin to process, but to happen to someone so young? My gosh....I'm still shaking my head at the anguish that played out on the pages, but I inhaled the words as it set the stage for a very emotion-laden book.

In the opposite corner of my shock, the face of reality, the giggles coming out of me, were rapt and sharp. I am sure laughing this much after head surgery will most certainly be frowned upon by my surgeon....I'll be sure to send Aly the bill. I couldn't help but giggle at so many parts, even though the heaviness of the situation was a glaring one. It brought a much needed levity to the situation at hand, but it also gave me a better look into the characters' personalities. I think it goes without saying, the underlying sexual tensity between Caven and Hadley was very obvious and well balanced, but I still had a chip on my shoulder.

"She moaned while I whispered blessed curses, the licking of our flesh playing the bassline to our erotic symphony."

Given that synopsis, you're already predisposed to some pretty putrid anger directed at the mom for abandoning her child, but damn that Aly Martinez throwing in that backstory and lining it all up for me. She provided just the right emotion and sorrowful truth that forced my cold heart to feel something and recognize that there's always another side - even though I wanted to refuse her any sympathy, because I certainly had no empathy for her. Everyone's story isn't the same and it takes a lot to make me change my mind on an already closed subject, but of course - that darn impressive writing.

Having said all that, the weird thing was, this was the first time I can remember not knowing what I was going to rate an Aly book. I was conflicted throughout much of the book. I was in love with Caven's heart but I was angry at his lack of staying power to stay angry towards Hadley. What a conundrum, I know. I’m a bitch when it comes to messing with kids. So she left, we all know this - but he gave in too quickly for my bitter bitty tastes. But, on the other hand, I can also see why he did. Dammit. I mean, the reasons were all there. So I’m conflicted. Rare occurrence, obviously. But, again...this is a true testament to the strength of Aly Martinez's writing. I had to talk myself through my emotions....walk the paces myself. It was just....weird bouncing back and forth between anger and hope. But, I finished reading and need to know more. I need to know how this all works out, and that cliffhanger jacked me up!!

Because when I got to that end, I freakin' gasped.

Book Review and Giveaway for Echoes of Time by Calia Read



ECHOES OF TIME

For Etienne and me, our love has always left a trace.

It reigns over kingdoms, and rules over time.

With Etienne now in the present day, the echoes of time grow louder. 

We must face the answers we seek to set things right. 

However, we must be incredibly careful. One false move and everything we love will be destroyed.

And this time, could be the end of our surviving trace.



REVIEW: 4 STARS
"Whoever believes love comes without sacrifice is a fool."

SIX MONTHS I waited for this conclusion. SIX MONTHS I whined about needing more Etienne and Serene. SIX MONTHS I freaked out over this love that consumed my thoughts. 

And now that I am done with it, I don't even know what I am supposed to do with myself. How will my excitement level ante up for the next series, Belgrave Dynasty? How am I even going to wait for that one with a calm demeanor and a cool facade? I'm fooling myself if I think I can, because there is no way I will be able to. So now that I will be wandering around Goodreads lost, looking for another epic love, I will wait as (im)patiently as possible for the next addition to Calia Read's library of books that will center around Belgrave and the Lacroix family. I'll be desolate and I'm pretty sure I'll seem melancholy. Not my normal cheery self. But, I'll cope with the seemingly never-ending time that it will take for KotS to be here... <sigh> /end sarcasm font

Ok, really though - let me see if I can find all the words I need to try and explain this one. While this book didn't have the same desperation that the first two books did, I couldn't help but feel the anticipation and excitement that leapt off the pages. Etienne and Serene had time fighting against them as they were trying to cheat fate. I say cheat fate, because even though I knew fate was what brought them together, I wasn't entirely sure that was going to be strong enough to keep them together. I may have been worried at a few points during this read - I won't lie!! 

Their love, their desire, their need - their world revolved around each other, and I felt that intimacy they had with each other. It was all there and I couldn't help but fight for them, screaming at my kindle as I read their story. I reveled in the happiness, I grumbled through the angering times, but I sighed a huge sigh of relief when they started to figure things out. And when it all fell into line, it was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I'm sure it was off theirs as well...but we are talkin' about me here!

"I've fallen in time. I've loved through time. I'll die in time."

Etienne still had his old world charm and Serene still possessed the witty and oh-so-busy mouth she arrived with, but there was a different air to this book that made it feel much more fast paced; there was a sense of urgency to it. Originally, their story was told with a more intricate process. It had a slow pace with an anxiousness about it because they never really knew what was going to happen or for how long they would have together. Their moments were lived with intensity and a certain desperateness, and I ached alongside them as they moved through time, fighting to be together. But somewhere along the way, it moved to dusting over happenings and areas, surroundings and such, in this third book, so it didn't read like the first two. I wasn't disappointed. I still got my HEA - a fitting one at that. It just lost some of its intensity with the unearthing of info. I needed for this book to be an all-consuming, mind-racing, nail-biting read to keep me on the edge of my seat....and while it kept me enthralled, some parts felt a little winded and a lot confusing. I had to highlight so much, and I am not sure at this point that all the i's were dotted and the t's were crossed, but it all worked out in the end, so I am a happy Bee. Totally happy. Still slightly confused at all the names and the twists and the dates and schtuff that were thrown at me over the course of three books, but overall - still very happy. I still loved it. I still felt very in tune with Etienne and Serene. I still got caught up in their larger than life story. It wasn't anything to make me stop reading, and certainly not anything to make me roll my eyes. It was just very busy and confusing at some points, but still centered around a love that was undeniably one that time had no power over.

But that leads me to her writing style. Calia doesn't spoon feed you a story that you know what's going to happen and when, and that is part of the allure of her voice for me. I liked that she kept me guessing until the very end of the story, up to and including that epilogue that made me smile. I don't want run of the mill, and she most definitely does NOT give me that. I'm thankful for that, and I loved that she gave me a few answers but that also led me to a lot more questions. I like that she will be able to bend this into another series with more questions and answers, so that will keep me coming back for plenty more. 

I can readily admit that I won't stop talking about this series for some time to come. This was my introduction to Calia Read - and it was a most epic introduction at that. Not only did I say in my first review that I couldn't get the synopsis out of my head, but I couldn't stop thinking about it and it took me a few days to finally say ok to reading it. It was a big leap of faith for me because not only was I jumping into an unfinished series by an unknown author, but it was for a time travel romance!!! THREE strikes right there. While I am so freaking excited to say I have an author that I will follow unconditionally now, that wait was rough for all three books. Absolutely ROUGH. But, again....new fan for life here. I need more of her writing. I need her to throw me for a loop. I want her to confuse me and surprise me and enlighten me and torment me. I look forward to more and cannot wait to dive into the next one.

Mark my words: Every single one of these books will be on my shelf in their present covers. These are my favorite covers she has done for this series and I am IN LOVE. I loved the original one for the first book, but I am smitten with these new ones. Such perfection.

Our love is timeless.

Will is my fiancé. The shy man I met years ago in college. The person I’m supposed to spend the rest of my life with.

This is the life I’ve always wanted until finding a picture of four men changes everything…

Etienne says he’s my husband and the year is 1912. He can’t stand the sight of me, but I don’t know why.

Oh, and he’s one of the men from the picture.

I’ve done the impossible and have become trapped in time and I know Etienne is my key to going home.

The more time I spend with Etienne, the further I fall for him, until I’m questioning which time I belong in and if the life I left behind is the one I truly desire.

All I know for certain is I need to survive time.

I need to survive love. 

And I need to make it out on the other side alive.

My Review: http://bit.ly/2zrWCq8

Étienne Lacroix and I had a fire I thought would never die. 

Our love was timeless. 

An irreversible decision sent me back to the present day with a family I barely recognize, but I am determined to find a way back to Étienne. 

I can survive time. But I can’t survive life without him. 

Time bends to no one’s demands, so I must fight with everything I have to return to the past. However, I am terrified that the past I once knew might not look the same, and the man who once called me his surviving trace will no longer be waiting for me.

Time bends to no one’s demands but sometimes love does…

DNF Review for A Five Minute Life by Emma Scott


A FIVE MINUTE LIFE
by EMMA SCOTT

Remember us...when I can't.

Thea Hughes has five minutes to live.

A car accident stole her parents and left her with the second-worst documented case of amnesia in the world. She now has only minutes of experiences, of consciousness, of life…before her memory is wiped clean. The once effervescent artist with a promising future is reduced to scribbling with pens and paper, living an empty, quiet life, three hundred seconds at a time.

Jim Whelan is on autopilot.

A foster kid shuffled around the system since birth, he’s lived his entire life without knowing love…and it’s taken its toll—until he learned to fight back, carry his armor, and keep his head down.

Working as an orderly in the Blue Ridge Sanitarium, deep in Virginia countryside, Jim looked up…and found Thea.

When Thea has the chance to break free of her five-minute prison with a risky, experimental surgery, it could lead them both to an epic love they never thought possible… or one that could require the ultimate sacrifice.


REVIEW: DNF at 56%
"The stronger the love, the more helpless the person feels in the wake of its loss."

This synopsis read to me like an emotional, angst-ridden, heartbreaking book that explored the reality of amnesia and the possibility of falling in love. One that was going to take me on a journey and yank my heart out. I was super excited to make this my first Emma Scott book and couldn't wait to dive in. The reviews were phenomenal, and the hype was LOUD. I was so excited. I couldn't lose with this one.

THE TRUTH: I don't do fluffy. I don't do light and easy when the subject matter is heavy. I most definitely don't do inspirational. I think my twisted heart craves the heaviness and the angst that inherently comes along with this type of storyline. I didn't get any of that heaviness, but definitely got all the fluff. I know that MANY love the fluff and it's what works for them and I totally respect that. It just doesn't work for me. I will get bored too quickly, and when the eye rolls come along too frequently, it stifles my enjoyment. I had to message a friend who had already read it and loved it to discuss my feelings. Wondering and questioning why this book didn't work for me, I needed to talk it out. While our opinions didn't match - she knows what kinds of books I like to read and so she could understand why it wasn't working for me. I am thankful I had someone that I could chat about it with, but I am walking away now.

I can honestly pinpoint what wasn't working for me: namely the super soft Hero, the continual 'blasts from the past' on virtually every page - alright already!!, and the unbelievable aspects of many parts of Thea's 'fix' and her recovery. I mean, I couldn't imagine her first trip to the mall, I couldn't understand how some people got hired, and I most definitely couldn't see how everyone missed everything. I was told I had to suspend belief because she is more of an inspirational writer, and while I can easily and generally do that to a certain degree, not much of anything else added up or worked for me, so I think my enjoyment suffered immensely.

There was a certain flamboyance with her over dramatization of certain aspects of the plot, but I pushed on because the story was progressing forward. My curiosity was still piqued and I wanted to see how it all played out. I also wanted to desperately know when they'd figure out what was really going on - because I already knew, and THAT was super frustrating in and of itself. The characters lacked depth and the heroine was especially awkward at best while her sister was the most hated character in the book. I have absolutely ZERO understanding or empathy towards her and her anger besides the normal "my entire family is dead" side to it all, but her anger towards everyone else and her bitchiness took the cake. That was very hard for me to accept. Very. Jim's background, while it provided a few feel-good moments, how he ends up being the "amnesia detective" is beyond my comprehension. Again, I can understand why she "placed" everything in the story the way she did, it just didn't read that way to me - just too unbelievable. It wasn't emotional and it didn't make me feel invested. It didn't feel organic in some spots and it almost felt like it just 'happened' - like the plot points were just placed there to give circumstances an opportunity to unfold.

It's not often that I jump into an author's book and genuinely feel bad that it didn't work for me, but this time I did. It wasn't because this book was super hyped up. It wasn't even because I was looking forward to what everyone said was a heavy read that I would absolutely love. It's because it was my first book by an author that I have been wanting to read for a long time and it feels like it jilted me a little bit. The writing was super soft - which isn't my favorite, but the flow was there. There is an honesty to her storytelling, and I was able to settle in almost immediately. I found it really easy to envision the picture she was "painting" with her words. I won't deny that I gasped at the end of the prologue - even though I knew what was coming, and was excited to continue on - and I did for a while. But when I'm told she's a deep writer and she's angsty and I'm going to love it? Man! That pressure is intense when I am not feeling any of that at all. I definitely feel like there is something wrong with me right about now. Maybe I set myself up for failure. Maybe I anticipated more than was going to be delivered, and maybe that didn't allow the story to play out naturally for me. Either way, it's safe to say that this one just didn't work for me....on any level.

I found myself getting increasingly aggravated because I wasn't feeling anything at all, so I think I knew a that point that I needed to accept it and move on. I tried. I really did. But when the irritation set in from everything adding up, I knew I couldn't force the issue and needed to walk away. With all those issues I named, along with many more that would ruin it for any future readers, I am going to shelve this book and move onto her duet since that was my original desired read of hers. I know many people loved this book, and I can see why. It just wasn't for me. I'm hoping for a win with my next read of hers....I'm not giving up.

Book Review and giveaway for Bred by Ginger Scott


BRED
by GINGER SCOTT

A coming-of-age romance inspired by Great Expectations

My life was irrevocably changed the moment I stepped foot inside Elena Alderman’s grand front doors. A lifeless tomb on the edge of Chicago’s Southside, the Alderman home sat in one of the city’s oldest and wealthiest neighborhoods, and Elena Alderman was the queen.

She was also mad.

Not the kind of madness that’s readily apparent. No, her psychopathy was far more surgical—more…insidious. She was surrounded by beautiful things—most notably her grand piano and her adopted son, Henry.

I fell in love with both.

My gift blossomed when my fingers touched her black and white keys. But my life began when I became haunted by the boy. Henry Alderman was a handsome blend of arrogance and seduction, and as we grew up together, I found it more and more impossible to separate him from my thoughts. I envied his life. I imagined how my name—Lily—would look with his. I became his closest friend…and more. I gave him my kiss, locked away his secrets, and loved him even when it was hard to.

But we were just a game. Elena Alderman made the rules. And when she decided to change them, she broke everything.


REVIEW: 4.5 STARS
"He smells like a man of the world, yet home. He tastes familiar, and new."

Ok. I admit I have been told to read Ginger Scott for quite some time. I am reader-enough to admit that much. But the fact that she was YA worried me, and clean YA even more. I like the heavy angst and the emotional turmoil in books - that grit that makes my stomach clench and my insides twist, and that's hard to capture in YA, sometimes. I have recently started reading more YA because I am finding more authors that are able to deliver the type of story that I crave in a YA format. This one most definitely fit the bill. I read this one with wonder and awe. It really hit all the points I needed it to to work for me. It was a light teenaged angst with the perfect amount of over-reacting that we all know we did at that teenaged level - true to situations. If I didn't have such an emotional attachment already to Great Expectations, this story would have still produced a smile from me because of how true to point it was on many different levels.

In truth, I loved the sound of Bred from the minute I saw it, but I can't give you anything more honest or pretend to deny the fact that it being inspired by Great Expectations wasn't my biggest pull. Great Expectations was the first "love story" I ever read and I read it back in high school - so.long.ago. It's the only book I have left from getting married and moving out....and I still love it to this day, with fond memories. While the actual storyline in detail may have slipped my mind, the memories of it and how it hit me are still very prominent. Once I started to read this, the meaning and understanding hit me full force because it was told in the same vein and I honestly and personally think Scott nailed it. Had I not read Great Expectations, would I feel the same way? I can't truthfully answer that because, again, favorite book from my childhood being updated and presented to me in a current format? I couldn't walk away from the opportunity to fall in love with the same story all over again. I enjoyed every page, every word, every scenario....I read it with a smile and it was such a breath of fresh air for me. I really enjoyed this one.

The nostalgia alone put me in a state of bliss. I highlighted so much in this book because the way Scott told this one, the way the story played out, it really made me reminisce about Pip and Estella, and the circumstances that not only brought them together, but ultimately the ones that pushed them apart. I really think Ginger Scott embodied the emotions very well, so the feelings were there and they were uninhibited throughout her writing. I do feel like the POV that this story was delivered in made for a deeper connection to Lily and how she felt about Henry while leaving him as sort of an enigma - one that we got to ponder and discover all at the same time, right along with Lily. An unknown, but desired love from all angles is really what kept me turning the pages.

"Henry Alderman is my gentleman."

If I had to give any amount of constructive feedback, I honestly think my only issue with this one was the abrupt ending to some of the chapters; events that could have been fleshed out, scenarios that could have been being embellished a bit more. Of course, looking back, as I'm re-reading all my highlights, those abrupt endings would have led nowhere and weren't exactly intrinsic to the overall storyline, but the way they stopped kinda jolted me a bit. That's really all I could honestly comment on. I read this book with a wonderment and an innocence that rivaled a first love and those butterflies we now recognize.

I would be remiss if I didn't fawn over the cover of this book. It was literal perfection - to the nth degree. Seriously. If that was Henry, she nailed it - description, actions, mannerisms - everything. Absolutely nailed it. His stature and his arrogance, but his handsomeness and the heart that he was raised to not share. Titling this book Bred was so very fitting for the narrative of this book. Not only were the emotions fitting for a teenager with the broody angst of a 15 year old, but the courageous growth that the heart had to make while finding its own truth gave me a true appreciation for the power of Scott's words.

I cannot tell you how much I loved this book and not sound like a babbling teenager with a crush, but I will have this one signed on my shelf, sitting next to my hardback of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens - mark my words. After reading this one, Ginger Scott will definitely be added to my list of authors to check out in this genre.
