L.A. REVIEWS EL DIABLO...BY M. ROBINSON

In a very short period of time, M. Robinson has become one of my "go to" authors. I have enjoyed every book of hers I've read and this spin off of the Good Ole Boys series has only solidified her place in my author file.

If you're looking for a story that's going to take you on a roller coaster ride of emotion, go right to your Kindle and one click El Diablo. I promise you will be glad that you did.

If you read Crave Me, you've already met Alejandro Martinez. He's the Colombian crime lord uncle of Briggs/Daisy and if you thought he was intense in Crave Me, wait until you get to know him better in El Diablo.

El Diablo begins when Alejandro is a teenager. He's fifteen years old and trying to sneak out of the house to go to a party. His sister and her best friend are trying to talk him out of this. Being a fifteen year old boy he wants to go out and party, so he does. What happens when he gets back, is something no fifteen year old should ever go through. Not only what happens is shocking, but the reasoning behind why it happens is insane.

At this point in time, Alejandro becomes more involved in the "family business". He grows up overnight and becomes a man getting ready to walk in his father's footsteps. Alejandro's father is a despicable man and the things he does made me totally hate him.

As M. was writing El Diablo, she kept telling us we were going to hate Alejandro. As awful as many of the things Alejandro did were, I just couldn't hate him. I think he hated himself enough for everyone. He wouldn't allow himself to be happy. He wouldn't allow himself to get close to his niece Briggs. Oh and let me tell you something, the story of how Briggs actually comes to live with Alejandro just blew my mind. But that's what M. does. She blows your mind. She shatters your heart and then she puts you back together again.

Alejandro is sexy AF. His dark hair and bright green eyes put him in my love category instantly. His tan, muscular body is amazing and what he can do with those body parts had me tingling all over. He is sexy without even trying. I loved how passionate he was. When he loved he loved hard, just like the rest of the Good Ole Boys only amped up like one hundred times.

I'm doing it again. I'm totally telling you too much and I so want you to one click El Diablo.
M. is such an incredible story teller that you can't help but become totally invested in her characters. Believe me, I know since I still completely swoon over Lucas from Complicate Me.

As you get deeper into the story you learn so much more about Alejandro. There are so many twists, turns and secrets to be learned. Then there's the Sophia/Lexi connection. Good Lord my jaw almost hit the ground.


Lexi and Alejandro meet for the first time when she is very young. Their chemistry is immediate and steaming hot. And again Alejandro won't allow himself to have what he wants. The two of them can't get out of each other's minds. Without giving away too much, keep the ballet barre in mind because damn.


Remember, this story basically starts at the end of Crave Me and then works back. What you think is real is just an illusion and M. literally makes you wait until the very end to put it all together.


Of course I love, love, love the part where the Good Ole Boys come in, because those boys are everything. I have a feeling Lucas and Half Pint are in for a bunch of trouble when Mia's story comes around. And just like everything else M. writes I will gobble it up and without a doubt fall in love again.


Five steamy lip smacks for Alejandro Martinez and El Diablo.

LA REVIEWS TWISTED PALACE...BY ERIN WATT

I used to be scared of the future, I didn't know where I'd end up, didn't know if the anger and bitterness inside me would ever truly go away, if I could ever feel worthy or find someone who'd be able to see through the asshole I pretended to be to the rest of the world.


But I'm not scared anymore, and I did find someone who sees me. Who really, truly see me. And I see her, too. Ella Harper is all I'm ever going to see, because she's my future. She's my steel and my fire and my salvation.

She's everything.

Yes, I have been absolutely ruined by the Royals. Reed Royal is my everything.

If you haven't read the first two books in this series, Paper Princess and Broken Prince, seriously, one click them or buy them right now! I had to own both the ebook and hard copy because I am obsessed with this series.

My most anticipated book so far this year was 
Twisted Palace. And like the two books before, it did not disappoint.  There are so many twists and turns in Twisted Palace, you're on a roller coaster of emotion up until the very end of the book.

I don't even have the words to express how much I loved every part of this book. It is original and totally unpredictable and I wouldn't have it any other way!!

Think back to the end of Broken Prince. Ella and Reed finally stopped their hate fest and gave into the feelings they had for each other and then BOOM! Just like that the bottom falls out from under them and it's so much worse than they thought at first. Reed being taken away by police and the shadowy figure of someone from Ella's past looming in the back ground.

Twisted Palace begins with the shadowy figure being identified and Reed Royal in more trouble than even his dad and fancy five hundred dollar an hour lawyer can possibly get him out of. Reed also learns that even though he's a Royal there are some people that will do anything to hurt him and some just want to use him. OMG, I just can't. Twisted Palace is just amazing and the writing team that make up Erin Watt are completely my idols right now.

Of course a huge part of the story is Reed and Ella's romance and I don't care if he's only eighteen. That boy is so damn sexy it's scary. With his black hair and blue eyes he had me swooning from Paper Princess. Yes, he's a bad boy with an awful lot of issues, but I wouldn't change one single thing about him. All he needed was someone to really see him and that someone comes in the shape of Ella Harper. Their chemistry is steamy hot and yes there are some sexy scenes between the two of them. But I have to tell you, for me the best part was every time Reed kissed Ella  I got butterflies in my tummy and tingles everywhere else. Yes the boy is an amazing kisser.

Twisted Palace is written so incredibly well, it answers all of your questions, but makes you want more. Some of the answers you come across will leave your jaw hanging on the floor. Some relationships are made stronger and some are broken forever. Allies are formed  you thought you would never see, and when the truth finally comes out, holy jaw dropping moment. 

So let's see, there's Gideon, Easton and of course those cute little twins who have something interesting going on with that their girl Lauren. With that being said, I'm hoping for at least three more books so those Royals can continue to ruin me! Pretty please?

Five Royal lip smacks for Reed and the rest of the Royal family. I absolutely love this series!
