Nathan the oldest of the brothers and the most level headed, he wants to branch out leave the family business, go straight... Kelly, married at seventeen and estranged from the family after marrying a man as old as her father. Evie, beautiful, quiet, shy, sent off to boarding school after the sudden death of her mother. And then we have Christopher, terrifyingly out of control.
Together they are Harry's precious gems, his crown jewels.....his everything
My Thoughts...
This story is based around the family, Harry's family. I don't want to give away too much regarding the plot.
I really loved the story and all the characters, even the supporting ones like Raymond, Terry and Cassie who all had an important part to play. Seeing how each of these characters lives finally come together in a brilliant climax that is full of twists and turns.
Casey Kelleher is finding her own style in writing this type of genre and I think she is definitely a crime author that is on her way to the top.

Lilli has arrived in Signal Bend, a small town where most of the occupants have left over the years. Quiet in the middle of nowhere, just how she likes it. She is there for a reason, hiding and waiting.... until she finishes what's she has come to do...

Isaac Lunden, President of the Night Horde Motorcycle Club Once a stranger appears in the town he makes it his business to find out why. Lilli may have caught his eye but if she is there to damage his club, because falling for her is one thing but protecting his club is another.
[image]
My Thoughts The story was just brilliant. Loved Lilli and Isaac. The story had a real authentic feel about it and it kept me gripped.
I'm fussy when it comes to my biker stories but I believe this author has really pulled it off.
I know this series is about to get darker and guess what!!!
I wanted to know her. I wanted her to know me. Not the jerk at school. Not the guy in the tux. Not the goalie on the field. Just me. But I didn’t know who that was.
My thoughts. I so enjoyed this story. Thomas was another of Shay Savage's tortured souls but although the main characters are younger, I was so totally taken with Thomas and Nicole Told through his POV, you get a wonderful but at times heartbreaking insight to this young man.
Now Thomas is a jerk with a capital J
“My dad owns this town,” I reminded him and everyone else in the room, “and I own this school, and I sure as hell own this team. Don’t fucking forget it.”
I know...an ass...But you find out quite early on that there is so much more to this guy.
My feelings were all over the place, it was funny, emotional and at times I felt I was holding my breath with the darker side to this story and there is a darker side.
This is a wonderful, captivating story and although this is the second time I’ve read it, fanfic being the first, I loved it maybe even more this time around.
I’m a huge fan of Shay Savage’s males I make no secret of that and Thomas is without a doubt up there with the others.

My thoughts.... I will keep it short and sweet. This book was so different, not what I expected and I think thats why I enjoyed it so much. Funny with witty one liners, dark, violent with 2 of this most unusual MC ever.
Loved the plot, don't care if it was a bit over the top, it was fun.
I'm hooked and can't wait for the next one... ...more
Set over a period of 18 or so years...it tells the love story of Iranian born Shayda and Troy..
Sent to Canada for a better life, nothing for Shayda is simple, she looks for a sign where her path will take her. Instead, an arranged marriage to Hafez is made for her by her family. Hafez is withdrawn at times and their marriage starts without passion. He's away from home a lot.
He is a good man, a good husband but because of things he has experienced as a child he is left emotional detached.
[image]
When Shayda first meets Troy, an up and coming business tycoon, seductor, a man who has everything....except the one thing he wants...her..Shayda
[image]
Shayda stays in the background watching....but Troy has seen her and is totally mesmerized by her.
Choices, guilt... whilst we see their relationship slowly develop throughout the years into something beautiful we still see the pain, the feelings that pulls them closer and also apart.
When she finally makes a choice will devastating events change everything?
This is a very touching heartfelt story, beautifully written. Its a brave story to write and I think thats what touched me so much. I read such a mixture of genres, that when I come across a story like this, one that makes me feel the way I felt.....I know thats the reason I love reading so much.
[image]
There were subjects that were painful, heartbreaking but the author had me consumed into their story. It should be made into a film.. I cried, I smiled, I cheered....I loved it.
Shayda and a Troys love story will stay with me for a long time..
A love that's full of secrets, a love that's full of lies
Black Lies
Layana Fairmont is a girl from a socialite family. Wealthy and already on her way to be fully groomed for some rich billionaire. But Laylana wants more....to find her own way in life and to find a cause and help people.
Brant Sharp is a self made billionaire. A genus. He supports the cause that Laylana is involved in. Their meeting sparks something that neither of them have experienced before, a connection, a need, an interest.
Lee is a gardener who works on the rougher side of town. Oozes sex appeal, rough, crude and everything Brant isn't.
[image]
My thoughts are all over the place... This story is intriguing, totally different. Full of twist and turns. It has all the trademark of a Alessandra Torre book but this time maybe even more...
Its clever and unique, sexy and compelling.
Sometimes we express what we feel for a story as we read it but for me it was more about after I finished it.... its a story that will stay with me for a long time...

Review to come...
Onto the last part of this exciting trilogy The Victim...more
I'd admired her from a distance, never speaking or doing anything to draw attention to myself.
Each day that I spent watching her in this room, I noticed how her eyes would flick up to me. She was weary of me - frightened - and she had reason to be.
Allow me to introduce myself…
My name is Holland Strong and at 21 years old, I'm the youngest Master within a society of wealthy and influential men.
Claire Elliot is my psychology professor in college - that is, at least, until I make her my first courtesan.
She believes she knows everything about how the mind works…
…and I believe I can prove her wrong
My Thoughts Where do I start?
First of all in my opinion you do need to read Her Masters Courtesan as characters from the first book play a major role in this story,
I honestly loved Holland we try and delve into his mind to see what makes him tick, what he's really about, who he is... Don't be taken in by his smile, his boyish charm...
Claire is fantastic, maybe this time the Masters have bitten off more than they can chew...
As most of us who have read or know of Lily Whites books, they are dark.... engrossing and with this particular one I felt apprehensive and intrigued at the same time. They don't always end with a HEA this one certainly blew me away....
I just hope there are more still to come from this series and we get to meet more Masters sometime in the future..
Jai Winter is a designer model, he has everything, women falling over themselves at him, money....but he is being blackmailed into being a sex plaything for his agents and their friends. Feeling he has no way out suicide seems the only solution...that is until he meets Summer Dey..
Summer has just spent 18 months in South America. On her way home to attend her sister's wedding.... she realises that someone has tampered with her bag and it now contains drugs.. Panicking she leaves everything behind and while she waits for her flight to the UK she meets Jai...
I love Barbara Elsborg dry British humour. It has everything I look for in a story. With blackmail, drug dealers and fabulous hot sex and the chemistry between these two wow..its a hit!!
Jai is very protective of Summer . Her family are cold and uncaring except for her father.. but with Jai by her side he stands up for her. He tries to keep her safe, he wants her..
Yes brilliant.. Payback is the follow up to The Trap Vinny is the head of the family. He is cold and controlling but the birth of his daughter Molly changes him, calms him. She is the one bright and wonderful thing in his life. But Vinny has upset too many people and his enemies want revenge. His family want answers to his involvement in a crash that killed one of his family. But the worse is yet to come...
When his daughter Molly disappears, his world falls apart...Is this finally Payback
Kimberley Chambers is up there with the best of the crime writers. Once again its gripping, nail biting, shocking but utterly addictive. Its one of those stories that must be made into a TV series... This book has left me speechless, not often I'm left with an OMG and the biggest book hangover ever...
[image]
If they are lucky, they are sold into the professional hands of another Master. If they are less fortunate, they are buried beneath the ground, never to be thought of again.
I lust for the control, I demand absolute submission and my body yearns to warp the minds of those I train.
Power is the only thing I’ll ever need and I am addicted to the feeling of ultimate control.
I am wealthy, good-looking, educated and charming.
And I am - in no way - a good man.
I do not want love. I do not want kindness.
She thought she could change me by giving me the two things I knew I never wanted.
Aiden...good looking, educated, rich and charming..his job...he is a Master His work involves kidnapping to order, women and sometimes even men, they are to become a courtesan..in other words a slave.. Aidens job is to train these women into submission ready for their new owner.
Rebecca is privileged, so when she meets Aiden at an art exhibition, he charms her. She thinks nothing of spending the rest of the evening with him. A decision she may live to regret and something that will change the course of her life forever.
First of all this is not a romance story, I have to emphasize that... this is very much a dark and erotic, mind provoking story. Aiden makes his point very early on, submit or be killed He is not a good person, and if you don't play by his rules then there is a good chance you will die.
What would you do? Rebecca knows that really she has no choice but she tries to hold something back. This is intriguing to Aiden...but he has never not broken a girl yet and is always one step ahead in the game. But is there more to Rebecca that Aiden isn't aware of yet?
[image]
My thoughts Oh yes my thoughts... Being a fan of darker storylines its sometimes hard to find this type of story that stands out from the rest. In my opinion Lily Whites Her Masters Courtesan is one of those. The writing is excellent and I really did have trouble putting it down. As cruel as Aiden is, I found myself consumed by him. Waiting for him to redeem himself. It may not be a story with romance. But in a funny sort of way maybe it was a love story...it depends what our definition of love is....and what love is to Aiden...
It was just wonderful..the new novel from Shay Savage
When recluse Ehd finds a girl wearing strange clothes and making strange noises...trapped in a pit....He has at last found his mate...and he begins to take you on an amazing journey.. A mesmerising tale of survival, protection and love.
I don't think I have every read anything quite like this...and so very different from the authors other stories.
Yes Ehd...is a real alpha male..A caveman...yes a caveman..protecting what's his..
Told from his POV throughout the story...I just loved him. He gave me this warm feeling. The simpleness of him and the story caught me by surprise creating all kinds of emotions in me.
It was beautiful, touching, amusing, sweet, consuming and with lots of hotness it was truly worthy of the 5 Stars.
This book hit me hard...Beautiful, emotional this is Kristen Ashley back to her best. There are so many amazing reviews out there for this story so I will just give you my thoughts best I can.
Almost from the first page I was consumed by this wonderful story. Sometimes when you read a book it gives such a feeling that its almost too hard to put into words.
Josie returns home to attend her Grandmothers funeral. She stands alone but she feels the presence of a man watching her. Jake is there with his children..
Later Josie attends the reading of her Grandmothers will, the only real family she had left. And her grandmother has made a very special request.
Yes Josie's grandmother has bequeath Jake to her.
“My most precious possession, the thing I treasure above anything else in this world, that being my granddaughter, Josephine Diana Malone, I hereby bequeath to James Markham Spear
She gives off the sweetest light that will ever shine on you. I’m trusting you, my Jake, in my absence, to take good care of her. But even saying that, I know you will…
The Will is up there with the best of KA. Josie was different, the way she acted the way she spoke. I liked that, even though it did take a while to get used to her. The letters she wrote to her Grandmother were so heartfelt and emotional but it explains as why she is like she is.
Jake, he really is a true gentlemen, in true KA style alpha and perfect...I loved him
His children brought another element to the story which to me made it all the more perfect.
And Lavender House....how I would love to live there..
This is a book I will read again, it will stay with me for a long time and thats why I'm giving a well deserved 6 Stars...

My man is going to be strong and tall and handsome and smart and protective and fierce, so very FIERCE, and wonderful and he’s going to adore me.

Sometimes a book will come your way that totally consumes you. Beautifully written.. I first read this version on Fanfiction and the story pulled out all my emotions.
The story of Dusty and Bliss is one of my favourite books ever.
Let me start first of all.... it is about young teenage love. A love that is obsessive, possessive, raw, flawed, a secret love. Its a story that I'm sure will frustrate you, it may make you feel uneasy at times, its addictive, wrong decisions... isn't that what adolescent love is about?..
Its about Dusty and Bliss's love. When LeighLee pronounced LayLee alias Bliss arrives in a new town, she soon makes friends.. Bliss is a daughter of the local judge, “no dating LeighLee until your 17”. Their rules suffocate Bliss sending her into the comfort and freedom of her best friend Becka’s family and closer to Thomas/Dusty Becka's slightly older brother.
Whilst Bliss parents are strict but caring, Dusty’s are more laidback and giving but even they are still unable to stop the rollercoaster of events that start to unfold.
Its easy to forget when we read this that Dusty and Bliss are 13/15 and 15/17 and not adults. They make poor choices as we all do as we grow. But it also tells us how painful first love can be. Its real life and thats what makes it so raw.
Love. Fucking love. Love feels like tingles and sunrays. It’s a tightness in my chest and an extra beat of my heart. Love is completeness— sappiness. Better than the best chocolate ever. Love gives me tickle-chills and super high, high, high smiles. It keeps me from sleeping. It makes it hard to breathe, blink, care. Love is indescribable, cumbersome, silly-selfish, consuming, life-changing, goose bump-giving, knowing-all-the-words-to-the-song exciting, I-can’t-think-straight-without-him overwhelming, sigh-swooning, laugh-out-loud-for-no-reason anxious. It’s fun and always near. It’s a rule-causing, jealousy -inducing, leg-kicking, dream-giving.
His love is forever-never-leaving. Thomas’ love for me is simple. It’s for us and no one else.
I still loved everything about this book. It may be shorter than the fanfiction version but the story is still the same. Its a story that you may love or you may hate it.
I'm so glad Mary and Sarah have published it.
Now the wait starts for the final part...Am I ready for all those emotions again...
[image]
Every now and again I love going back to my roots when it comes to a good old English East End gangster story. And finding this gem by Kimberley Chambers certainly hit all the right spots...
I've just met the Butler family The apple of his mother Queenie's eye is Vinny the oldest of the brothers, suave, good looking and loves being told he looks like he has a touch of Italian and Irish in him, he has the looks and charm that women go weak for... but underneath he is manipulative, controlling, possessive and definitely has psycho tendencies..
Ray is the second oldest, his fathers favourite. Steady, handsome and loyal.
Then we have Michael the youngest, dreams of becoming a mechanic but gets drawn into the families seedy world of crime.
Set in the 60s and 70s you get a trip down memory lane and a feel of life back when families stick together no what and we watch as Vinny becomes a face of Whitechapel in London.
I loved watching the characters grow over a period of 10 years. Gritty..shocking and fast paced... at times I was apprehensive to turn each page.
If you a fan of British gangster crime you will love this, or if you want to read something different from this talented British writer you will not be disappointed..
So...here we have it....the final part of Brad and Julia's story. And I loved every moment of it. If your a fan of Brad..like myself, then your know that his presence once again will dominate this book. He's alpha but not in a possessive way, oozes sex appeal, Julia is one lucky lady.
[image]
This last chapter of their story was so engrossing and at times I had no idea where it was going to take me.
Julia has now matured and Brads love for her really comes out. We have always known from Blindford Innocence what makes Brad tick sexually and with Julia's acceptance... somehow makes their relationship come alive. The threesomes are hot!!! “He wants to fuck you,” Brad said matter-of-factly
[image]
Alessandra Torre has wonderful, unique way of writing, its classy and fresh. As with all her books she has a trademark style and with just one word in the sentence ...can give you shivers...
So as it comes to the end I thank you Alessandra for giving us the wonderful Brad De Luca and making him my perfect book boyfriend with all his kinky, wicked, alpha ways...
This was my first Martina Cole book in 3 years and it was good to be back.
Michael Flynn is the Face. He is 5 Crazy Martina Cole At Her Best Stars
This was my first Martina Cole book in 3 years and it was good to be back.
Michael Flynn is the Face. He is untouchable and he's worked hard for that position. From a young lad he is taken under the control of the feared Patrick Costello.
[image]
‘Always walk into a place like you already own it, and the chances are that eventually you fucking will.’ It was good advice, and something that he had never forgotten.
Set over a period of 30 Years its gritty, violent and fast paced, I enjoyed everything about this book. I did like Michael believe it or not and the plot did keep you guessing until the end.
