LA REVIEWS ROAD TO NOWHERE...BY M. ROBINSON

Have you ever finished reading a book and instantly wanted to start it all over again? That's what happened the second I finished Road To Nowhere by M. Robinson. Like everything I have read by M, this book did not disappoint. Monica is a fantastic storyteller who weaves an intricate tale you just can't put down. 

I knew Road To Nowhere would be special to me. Almost exactly one year ago to date I read Complicate Me and fell in instalove with Lucas Ryder and the writing of Monica Robinson. So I knew Lucas' daughter's story would also be special to my heart.

Once again Monica outdoes herself telling a story that is at times funny (anytime the Good Ol' Boys are together), heartbreaking and hopeful. Road To Nowhere is told over the span of six years. From the day Creed Jameson and Mia Ryder meet up until... well I'll save that for you to read.

If you were a little confused about Mia's situation at the end of El Diablo, don't worry everything will be cleared up and you'll understand why Road To Nowhere is Mia and Creed's story.

If you're into MC guys, Creed is your guy. Perfect, from his extremely goods looks and sexy body to the ink that covers him. I think the way he speaks, especially when he leaves out pronouns is super hot. His confidence and swagger also add to Creed's super sexiness.

Of course, Monica gives him an incredible storyline. He's befallen by some terrible tragedies in his life. Yes M I cried. You get me every time. Creed's life is a very dark place. Even before he realizes it, a young Mia Ryder brings light into the darkness of his life.

Speaking of young Mia Ryder. She meets Creed when she's nine years old and she is a sassy, spitfire who isn't afraid to speak up to anyone.  Including the scary Devil's Reject that crosses her path on day at her mom's restaurant. Funny thing is, Mia doesn't find Creed scary and even though there's a nine year age difference between them, Mia finds a way to get under Creed's skin.

Which leads me to the incredible sexual tension between Creed and Mia. Obviously not when she's nine years old, but as a teenager, Mia kept being harder and harder to resist. Keep on the look out for Mia and Creed's scene on the motorcycle. That is blazing hot!

I'm always amazed to read how Monica brings characters from her different books into play. And in Road To Nowhere, she effortlessly weaves together The Good Ol Boys, Martinez and now a whole new crew in the Devil's Rejects. I love the way she links everyone together. Mason and Creed are friends because their moms are bffs.

Monica Robinson has a gift for bringing characters to life. You feel their emotions. You grow attached to these characters on pages and invite them into your real life. I know because I've been in total love with Mia's dad Lucas for a year now. 

Road To Nowhere was everything I hoped it would be and more. In one short year, Monica Robinson has become one of my go to authors. I can't wait to read what she comes up with next!

An absolute five star review for Road To Nowhere.

LA REVIEWS FOUR LETTER WORD...BY J. DANIELS

All I want in life is for Brian Savage to be my boy. No seriously, I'm not kidding. Have you read Four Letter Word by J. Daniels yet? I didn't think J. could make me love a book boyfriend more than I love Benjamin Kelly, but she absolutely did. 

Brian Savage....OMG. He is absolute perfection. The way he looks, the way he talks, his body, made me crazy. And let me tell you, this boy in the bedroom, holy hotness! The way he took care of his girl, made me wish I was Sydney more than anything on the planet.

Now that I've thoroughly gushed over the very sexy Brian Savage, I can get down to the story. Sydney Whittaker is taken by surprise by her husband and high school sweetheart when he tells her he's no longer in love with her.

Syd packs up her life and finds herself at her best friend Tori's place in North Carolina. Tori has her own man problems and because Syd is such a good friend, she puts her problems aside and takes on Tori's problem and that's when the fun really begins.

A wrong number, an angry rant filled with naughty language and one very turned on recipient of said phone call start the wild adventure. Brian can't get the girl that made the phone call out of his mind. She was sexy, she was feisty and he's pretty much gone for Syd from that first conversation.

Only from the beginning, Brian tells himself he can't have this woman. As much as she intrigues him, Brian Savage truly believes he was never made to have someone to love. He's been punishing himself for years over a mistake he made. A horrible mistake that has caused him to basically stop living and do something he truly doesn't want to do to atone for his sins.

It all changes once he decides as much as he could never give her everything she deserves, Brian can no longer resist Sydney and the two begin a very unique relationship. A relationship where Brian sets up lots of boundaries to protect Sydney from him.

I have to mention, I have loved J. Daniels since I met Ben Kelly in the Alabama Summer series. I didn't think I could possibly love anyone more than Ben, until I met Brian Savage. Don't get me wrong, Ben is still one of my top all time book boyfriends, but Brian is just so sexy and swoon worthy, page after page he just made me melt into a puddle.

Without giving away too much, I will also tell you that in the bedroom or outside up against a fence, Brian Savage amps up his sexy a million degrees. Believe me when I say I honestly wish I was Sydney and was super jealous of her sexy time with Brian.

Four Letter Word, is not all funny rants and sexy time. It has angst and sorrow that will choke you up and hurt your heart. But, J. Daniels is one of my go to authors for a reason. She tells a great story, with characters you will totally fall in love with. 

Five huge lip smacks for J. Daniels and Four Letter Word. I love this series and will be posting my review for Hit The Spot ASAP! ❤❤

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!

RILEY REVIEWS NEIGHBOR DEAREST BY PENELOPE WARD

I am convinced that Penelope Ward can create a five star read out of a grocery list. I've enjoyed everything I have read by her, but she's absolutely outdone herself with Neighbor Dearest.

She took a secondary character from Stepbrother Dearest that I wouldn't have even thought about again and gave her a story of her own. 

Honestly, I probably would have never thought of Chelsea Jameson again. I mean Elec and 
Greta got back together. Which was what I wanted to happen in Stepbrother Dearest. I never really gave a second thought to Chelsea's broken heart so I have to say I'm so glad Penelope Ward gave Chelsea a voice to tell her story.

In case you don't know, Chelsea was absolutely devastated by her break up with Elec. So broken that she wouldn't visit her sister in New York City fearful that she might run into Elec. So broken that she was spending a bunch of money on phone therapy with a super expensive shrink. 

In the midst of all the heartbreak, Chelsea's sister comes to visit her and as they're sitting outside of her apartment building having sister conversation they happen to see a very sexy yet angry looking artist painting a mural. Now his description alone is delicious, dark hair, dark blue eyes, artistic type. Throw on that beanie and his tight body with tanned skin and well he just becomes irresistible. Irresistible and totally not interested in making friends with his neighbors. The sisters conversation about the angry artist is hilarious and it just so happens our neighbor dearest, has supersonic hearing, which makes it even funnier.

The angry artist? His name is Damien (insert Omen joke here) Hennessey and yes just about everyone he encounters makes some reference to his namesake. He not only lives next door to Chelsea with two very loud dogs, he also is the owner of the building. So when Chelsea goes to complain about said dogs, well she's not getting very far.

Damien turns out to be not completely anti social and he and Chelsea become friends. That is after they iron out some wrinkles, like Damien being able to hear her conversations with her shrink since their bedrooms back up to each other. He basically tells Chelsea stop paying this lady, she's not helping you. You can change your own story. 

Of course, the more time she spends with Damien, the more she begins to develop feelings for him. Damien, however is not relationship material. He lets Chelsea know they can be friends, but nothing more. There's no real obvious reason for his aversion to relationships. He just doesn't do them.

As you read Neighbor Dearest, you can see the obvious attraction between Damien and Chelsea. Especially, when the two are out for lunch and happen to see Elec in the distance. To distract Chelsea, Damien gives her a "fake kiss". You can literally feel the heat coming off of the pages during their kiss.

So why is Damien holding back? Why doesn't he just get together with this girl he so obviously is attracted to? Well, that's Damien's secret to tell and I'm not sharing it. So I would definitely one click Neighbor Dearest to find out exactly what's going on in this picture.

I completely love the way Penelope Ward writes. You can feel the emotion in every scene between Damien and Chelsea, between Chelsea and her sister Jade and even between Damien and his brother Tyler. And then there's the humor. Ask Damien and Tyler their middle names.

I laughed and I cried while I read Neighbor Dearest. This was also a book that I could not put down. I had to read it all in one sitting, because it held my interest from the very beginning until the very end. 

I'm so glad that Elec broke Chelsea's heart and she got her own book. Truth, I think I love Damien even more than I loved Elec. Maybe it's the beanie. I don't know.

Speaking of secondary characters, I'm hoping Jade and Tyler get a story! Talk about drama!

Five lip smacks from me for Penelope Ward and Neighbor Dearest.

EMILY REVIEWS TWISTED REALITY BY HEIDI MCLAUGHLIN

As you probably have figured out by now I am a huge fan of Heidi McLaughlin’s books, and the reason is simple…  Consistency.  Her stories are always intriguing and they keep my interest.  Her characters are always swoon-worthy, sexy and I can easily identify with them (or when required I feel real hatred towards them). Her writing is smooth and enjoyable to read. What’s not to love?  

Twisted Reality is another winner from Heidi McLaughlin.  A continuation of the big cliffy in Blinded Reality, where I was left crazed!!

Joshua Wilson is every girl’s fantasy and in Twisted Reality you get to really see what a good guy he really is.  He’s honest, emotional and he just really wants to be a good man for Joey! I am seriously in love with this guy!!

Joey Wilson is who every girl wants to be.  I mean can you imagine getting married to your celebrity crush?  Gah!  I would die!  I really love Joey and the way she stays true to herself, she really is a nice girl who has fallen in love with the real Josh Wilson, not just the celebrity.

What’s twisted about them?... Enter Jules, or as I like to call her the DEVIL!!!  She really is a sick and twisted puppy!!  She just rolls in and causes trouble and wreaks havoc whenever and wherever she sees fit.  I mean she is completely delusional!    Add the paparazzi, Josh’s jerky agent Matt, and Bronx into the mix and more chaos erupts.  At times, it seemed as though everything and everyone was against them.  Through it all Joey and Josh fight to stay together and fight for each other.  I believe their love really comes through when they are faced with the worst from Jules! 

Some of my most favorite parts in this book involve Joey’s family.  They are good people who have accepted this crazy, non-traditional union and have embraced Josh into their family.  The relationship between Josh and Joey’s dad had me all kinds of emotional and weepy, as Josh never had any of the love and friendship that exists between father and son.  I really admire how Josh recognizes what a good family is like and how he strives to make himself better, instead of just using his bad upbringing as an excuse for failure!

Twisted Reality was an emotional ride for me. Seeing Josh get pushed down and kicked over and over had me absolutely heartbroken.  It seemed like there was no one he could trust and I really felt for him.  Joey, too, kept getting hit over and over with the craziness of Josh’s world and I admired how she continuously dusted herself off and got up again!  They are both so strong and genuine.  Their love really grew and their bond was unbreakable!  Heidi McLaughlin really comes through with an amazingly crazy and emotional conclusion to Josh and Joey’s love story!!  

5 loving lip smacks for Twisted Reality by Heidi McLaughlin!!!

RILEY REVIEWS AN ACT OF OBSESSION...BY K.C. LYNN

After I've laid claim to every inch of her body, I hold her in my arms until she fall asleep and I decide this very second that I'm going to keep her forever.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I don't think I have the words to do justice to this review of K.C. Lynn's An Act Of Obsession. This story gripped me from the prologue and didn't let go until the end. Yes, I sat down and read it all in one session. 

I absolutely enjoyed both other books in the Acts of Honor Series, but K.C. Lynn outdid herself with this story. An Act Of Obsession is truly a story about two broken people making each other whole.

Sophie Parish has survived an unthinkable horror that forces her to leave behind everything she has ever known and loved. Fortunately, she finds a new home in Sunset Bay and has the good fortune to be working for Sheriff Cooper McKay. It's always good when the original Men of Honor are on your side.

But that's not what this story is about. I do love How K.C. Lynn keeps the original Men of Honor and their families connected to the Acts of Honor Series. I love the interaction between the characters and let's face it, I love knowing what's going on in everyone's lives.

This story actually begins when Sophie (now called Lia for her own protection) arrives at the Men of Honor center to sign up for self defense classes. She runs into none other than Kolan Slade. You remember him right? He was in a lot of trouble the last time we saw him. Trouble that brought Katelyn, Kolan's sister and Nick Kolan's best friend together in more ways than one,  An Act Of Salvation, (awesome story, go one click if you haven't read it yet). 

Anyway, Kolan Slade is a champion fighter whom for reasons I'll leave you to learn about he's retired. Kolan has zero plans of getting back in the ring. He's big and tatted up and intimidating, but something about Lia (remember secret identity) has him feeling things for this woman he thought he never could. Kolan is dark and has many secrets, which is ok because Lia obviously has secrets too.

During their self defense sessions the two are obviously attracted to each other. Lord, who wouldn't be attracted to Kolan? Dark hair and chocolate brown eyes, a body he clearly worked hard to achieve, covered in some super sexy ink. Of course a girl can't stop thinking about him after the lesson is over. Honestly, everything about Kolan is sexy. The way he controls EVERYTHING is enough to get any one hot and bothered.

Kolan even starts to think he might be able to have something with Lia. They do share a very sexy scene together after they attend a benefit dance Kolan only showed up to because he knew Lia would be there. Oh, is it warm in here? 

Then strange things start to happen. Things that no one seems to be able to explain. Cars and property get damaged. While Kolan thinks he knows who the culprit is, he gets Nick to do some investigating for him. 

The information Nick comes back with will blow you away. In this story, what you think you know, becomes something totally different. And you seriously won't be able to stop reading until you know it all. 

K.C. Lynn has given us an incredible story in An Act Of Obsession. We get a smoking hot alpha protector in Kolan Slade, and an amazingly strong beautiful heroine in Sophie Parish. A story that will keep you on your toes and a feisty little sassy pants named Benny who I totally loved! 

A total five lip smack read for me. Another awesome job by K.C. Lynn!
