In Flight (Up in the Air #1)

16134782Book: In Flight (Up in the Air #1)
Author: R.K. Lilley
Publication: October 20th 2012
Genre: Adult, erotica, bdsm, romance, contemporary romance
Synopsis: When reserved flight attendant Bianca gets one look at billionaire hotel owner James Cavendish, she loses all of her hard-won composure. For a girl who can easily juggle a tray of champagne flutes at 35,000 feet in three inch heels, she finds herself shockingly weak-kneed from their first encounter. The normally unruffled Bianca can't seem to look away from his electrifying turquoise gaze. They hold a challenge, and a promise, that she finds impossible to resist, and she is a girl who is used to saying no and meaning it.

Bianca is accustomed to dealing with supermodels and movie stars in her job as a first class flight attendant, but James Cavendish puts them all to shame in the looks department. If only it were just his looks that she found so irresistible about the intimidating man, Bianca could have ignored his attentions. But what tempts her like never before is the dominant pull he seems to have over her from the moment they meet, and the promise of pleasure, and pain, that she reads in his eyes.
This book is intended for ages 18 and up. 


My thoughts:

This book was just an good book. I am not a girl who reads so much about bdsm and erotica book I mean I have to be in the mood for it but I really did enjoy reading this book. This book had me swoon most of the time. I really liked James he could be real romantic at times.

James is perfect and the stuff he says has me swooning from the beginning of the book. Bianca had a bad past and has a tortured soul and she is having a harder time getting her feelings out because she scared her past might ruin it, even though we know her feelings for James.
 One of my favorite parts from the book: "I'm going to ruin you." he breathed. "I'll be your first, and I'll fuck you so thoroughly that I'll be your last, too. You won't want any other man after I've gotten my hands on you. Ever last inch of you."

This book could have been more longer and given more detail about there past but you cant change anything about it now. This book had me torn a lot of times that why it's not a 5 star because you feeling one thing and the next thing you know you jump into another feeling but I do wish there was a bit more dialogue between James and Stephan.

A groundbreaking novel in the New Adult genre, Easy faces one girl's struggle to regain the trust she's lost, find the inner strength to fight back against an attacker, and accept the peace she finds in the arms of a secretive boy


My Thoughts:
“Choosing to be with you isn't a difficult decision, Jacqueline," he breathed, pulling back one final time to stare into my eyes. "It's easy. Incredibly easy.” 
This book was breathtakingly beautiful. This book was all sexy and sweet and innocent and very steamy all in one go. Tammara knows how to write a story that kept you on your edge of the seat the whole time. This book stars very vivid and in a cruel kin off way where Jacqueline nearly gets raped, but some one saves her from the guy. She never saw him in school but after she nearly was raped she see him now everywhere.

“Love is not the absence of logic
but logic examined and recalculated
heated and curved to fit
inside the contours of the heart”

Lucas knew her from her Econ class and he liked her before she even knew about him, He liked that she was real and not like the rest of the collage girls. Lucas is what you would call a bad boy with tattoos and a lipring but  he is smoking hot. Lucas also has secrets that he kept from Jacqueline because he was scared to loose her like he lost his mom. 

Jacqueline was suppose to use him as her rebound guy but somehow she fell in love with him. The plan started off well but it all changed when she could only think about him and where she tries to figure out about his past why he does all the jobs he has. She found out that he was lying to her about the tutor thing but that worked out quite well in the end. When Jacqueline told her best friend about what Buck did to her she was so pissed that she broke up with her boyfriend because her boyfriend did not believe Erin. Erin signed them up for self defenses classes and Lucas was also a teacher there helping girls learn self defense. 

“The night we met-I'm not like that guy." His jaw was rigid."I know tha-" He placed a finger over my lips, his expression softening."So I don't want you to feel pressured. Or overpowered. But I do, absolutely, want to kiss you right now. Badly.” 
What I loved about this book is it never got boring. You always wanted to know what will happen to Buck if anybody stopped him. I also loved it that Jacqueline fell in love with two guys but actually those to guys was just one person just different parts of him. What I did not like about it is she went to go and pry about Lucas's past and she nearly lost him because of it but what I love about Lucas is how protective he is of the people he loves. This book was one of my favorites and I would recommend it to all but just to let you know it is not a dark story there is not a lot of rape if you all think this is all to do about rape then you wrong I really would say this is a nice romantic story of people finding each other.

 “I noticed you the first week. Not just because of how pretty you are, though of course, that played into it. It was the way you lean onto your elbows when you 're listening in class, when something catches your interest. And when you laugh, it's never to get attention, it's just-laughter. The way you obssevively tuck your hair behind your ear on the left side, but let the right side fall down like a screen. And when you 're bored, you tap your foot soundlessly and move your fingers on the desktop like you 're playing an instrument. I wanted to sketch you.”

Cover Reveal: Beautiful Oblivion (Maddox Brothers #1)


The Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster phenomenon continues in the first heart-pounding new adult romance in The Maddox Brothers series.

Fiercely independent Camille "Cami" Camlin gladly moved on from her childhood before it was over. She has held down a job since before she could drive, and moved into her own apartment after her freshman year of college. Now tending bar at The Red Door, Cami doesn’t have time for much else besides work and classes, until a trip to see her boyfriend is cancelled, leaving her with a first weekend off in almost a year.

Trenton Maddox was the king of Eastern State University, dating co-eds before he even graduated high school. His friends wanted to be him, and women wanted to tame him, but after a tragic accident turned his world upside down, Trenton leaves campus to come to grips with the crushing guilt. 

Eighteen months later, Trenton is living at home with his widower father, and works full-time at a local tattoo parlor to help with the bills. Just when he thinks his life is returning to normal, he notices Cami sitting alone at a table at The Red. 

As the baby sister of four rowdy brothers, Cami believes she’ll have no problem keeping her new friendship with Trenton Maddox strictly platonic. But when a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever—even if she is the only reason their already broken family could fall apart.

In the first installment of the Maddox Brothers books, readers can experience the rush of reading Beautiful Disaster for the first time, all over again.

Don't you all think this cover is just wow!
This book will be released on the 1st of July and I am already counting down the days to read about more Maddox brothers.

A Beautiful Wedding (Beautiful #2.5)

18808903Book: A Beautiful Wedding (Beautiful #2.5)
Author: Jamie McGuire
Publication: December 10th 2013
Genre: New Adult, Young Adult, Contemporary romance, chick lit.
Synopsis:You know that Abby Abernathy unexpectedly became Mrs. Maddox. But what do you really know?

Why did Abby pop the question?
What secrets were shared before the ceremony?
Where did they spend their wedding night?
Who else knew about it . . . and didn’t tell?

Everything about Abby and Travis’s elopement was top-secret . . . until now. Fans of Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster will get all of their questions answered in this whirlwind tale of the wedding day (and night!)—and as with all good stories, this one will definitely have been worth the wait.



My Thoughts:
This book was sweet and loving. Romantic in ways and I always will Love Travis Maddox. He is a huge book boyfriend for me. 

Even though its been a while since I have read Beautiful Disaster, I reconnected with the characters from the very start. This story is told in both Travis and Abby's pov. What I did not like about this book is the actual reason why Abby wanted to marry Travis. I was kind pissed at her for wanting to marry him for that reason. This book takes us through there wedding what they did and thought. What I really loved about this book is how strongly Travis loved Abby and how strongly she loved him. Yes the reason why she wanted to marry him was one thing I hated about her but she loved him so much that she married him even though she had this fear of marrying so young. 
“By anyone’s standards, we were too young to get married, too unpredictable. How many times had we hurt one another along the way, screamed at each other one minute and fallen into bed together the next? But… I looked at him, resolute. He was mine, and I was his. If I knew anything at all, it was that only those two things mattered.”
 Their texts were adorable (“I look ducking amazing.”), that gorgeous letter totally made me cry (and the kiss after *clutches heart*), the ceremony had me smiling from ear to ear (you’re going to love what Travis says!), their wedding night was just perfect (*fans self*), the tattoo parlor was hilarious (seriously, LOL Travis!!), oh and don’t even get me started on the bachelor party and I really cant wait to read more about the Maddox men. This book was really nice but because of the reason why Abby first wanted to marry Travis means that I gave to give this book only 3 stars.

Tied with Me (With Me in Seattle #6)



17201111Book: Tied with Me (With Me in Seattle #6)
Author: Kristen Proby
Publication: March 18th 2014
Synopsis: A man whose lifestyle is so different from her own…

Nic Dalton’s cupcake bakery is thriving. She serves both rock stars and locals alike, content with her growing business. But one adventurous night out with her best friend, Bailey, turns her life upside down. She meets a handsome stranger who makes her skin sizzle and her heart race. Their one night together is explosive and unexpected, but when he has to suddenly leave without taking her phone number, Nic resigns herself to never seeing him again.

…What will it take to trust and submit to his every desire?

Matt Montgomery is one of Seattle’s finest. He works hard, loves and protects his family fiercely, and is loyal almost to a fault.

And he has a penchant for bondage.

Matt enjoys the way a woman looks wrapped up in his ropes, and makes no apologies for his preferences. When he meets Nic at a fetish festival, the small, beautiful woman catches his eye, drawing him to her. His one night with her was everything he’s ever looked for in a partner, but is cut short because of a family emergency. Even before he sees her again weeks later, he knows he’ll never get her out of his system.

And he’ll do whatever it takes to make her his.

“Give in to this, Nic. Let me prove to you that I will be one of the best decisions you ever make.” –Matt Montgomery
MY THOUGHTS:
I absolutely adore this series and Kristen Proby has rocked my socks again. This book was Sexy and sweet and hot.  I would not call this book a BDSM Book it's about Matt and Nic's enjoyment in the bedroom and the kink they need and enjoy which let me tell you I enjoyed immensely. Matte was the Dom and Nic was the sub but that was only in the bedroom.


Matt is the cool and collected detective and he does not give a lot away about himself. Only a few selected people know that his into the dom/sub relationship and his very skilled with ropes. He did not have a girl at the time until Nic walked into the Erotic festival and he instantly had a connection with her. Nicole does not like giving up control of her life she has her own cupcake shop and has a small family but Matt wants to show her and help her explore her submissive side.

"Talk to me," "I don't like losing control," she whispers. "I have to have control of my business, my financial life, my health, everything, Matt."

This story once again consumed me and I could not put it down and had me smiling at the end, there's a few mis-communication problems along the way but nothing too in depth. Kristen Proby will always be my go-to gal when I want to read about hot sexy men, friendships, family, very hot scenes and where I just want to giggle. Matt is definitely my kind of guy, he was caring, loyal, loving, and strong and he takes the control away from Nic and lets her be consumed and loved by him. These two fell in love fast and hard. This is a total recommended read.

"I've been sleeping with her." But that doesn't sound right. I've been more than sleeping with her. I've been consumed by her, falling in love with her."

Rock with Me (With Me in Seattle #4)



17201104Book: Rock with Me (With Me in Seattle #4)
Author: Kristen Proby
Publication: May 1st 2013
Synopsis: Front Man Leo Nash from the world-famous rock band, Nash, is the last person on earth Samantha Williams would trust. She's already learned about loving a celebrity the hard way and isn't signing up for another lesson.

Every time Sam gives Leo attitude, he wants to knock that chip off her fragile little shoulder. What the hell did he ever do to her, anyway? He's not used to women treating him like he's poisonous, and he isn't about to let her run away every time he gets close. He's had enough of people running away to last him a lifetime...when this one runs, he gives chase. But, catching Sam isn't as hard as he thought.

The sexual attraction between them is so thick, Sam can practically hold it in her hand. There's no way she can deny herself the promise of pleasure being with Leo would provide.

But, pleasure always comes with pain and when secrets are revealed and trust is challenged, who will run and who will chase?
MY THOUGHTS:
This book is sexy, steamy and amazing rock star romance. This is another book that I really enjoyed and I would love to reread it soon. This book had me swooning all the time and I certainly could not put the book down.


“You. Are. So. Amazing.” His soft lips brush over mine, back and forth, over and over again as he begins to move inside me. “Rock with me, baby.” 

This book is about Samantha Williams [Luke Williams older sister] we met her in the first book but we only now get to know her better, also Leo Nash who is Meg’s brother and we met him in Play with Me. They all officially meet at Will and Meg’s place where Leo is helping them move stuff in for Meg. The whole family was there (they are all tight nit) so that is where he met Sam. Leo Nash is the famous front man for the band Nash and he is a real rock star, Sam thinks he is hot but she does not want anything to do with someone famous because she has been burned before and she thinks she can’t handle it again. Sam is feeling unnerved by the sexy rocker, but we learn quickly that she uses wit, sarcasm and a sharp level of bitchiness to keep her defenses up.
That pretty much sums up Sam’s attitude towards Leo in the beginning. She does everything to stay away from him but Leo is persistent, there’s something about Samantha “with her light blonde hair and big blue eyes” that he can’t stay away from and somehow he breaks all her defenses she put up around her.

“Don’t cry,” he whispers. “Just let me do what I do best, baby. Let me take care of you.” “It’s hard for me to let people in, Leo.” “I’m already in,” he reminds me. “And I’m not going anywhere.”

I loved these two relationships together. She’s a smack talking smart ass who easily banters with Leo and what I liked about Leo is under that tough looking, tattoo looking god like exterior, his a gentlemen who is really sweet and loving and I love it that he calls her sunshine. As they come to together you can see that they both not perfect, they both have baggage but they got over it somehow with each other’s help also with the help of their family. They both loved each other and for them loosing each other was more freighting than what the paparazzi would say and somehow it help Sam overcome some of her fears.

“Her sweet, light scent is all around me. She smells like vanilla with a hint of lemons. Sunshine.” 

Ultimately, this book is a very sexy read about being open to others, to love, to be loved. This fun, flirty and feisty group of friends and family is awesome and I love the unconditional support they have for each other! I have said it already I love this series and Kristen writes amazing books that you can feel how all the characters are feeling and what I like about it is the other still comes into the books.

“I know you’re strong and independent and I respect that, but this is who I am, Sam. I take care of what is mine. You’re mine.”

“Let me do what I do best, baby. Let me take care of you”
“It’s hard for me to let people in, Leo.”
“I’m already in,” he reminds me. “And I’m not going anywhere.”
