Grounded (Up in the Air #3)

Books: Grounded (Up in the Air #3)

Author: R.K. Lilley

Genre: Adult, Romance, Erotica, BDSM

Synopsis: James and Bianca’s story draws to a close in the explosive conclusion to the Up In The Air Trilogy.

After a short but earnest courtship, Bianca can no longer deny her feelings for James, and though she’s tried her hardest, she can’t help but see that he cares deeply for her, as well. In a completely uncharacteristic move, she has put aside her misgivings and agreed to live with the enigmatic billionaire. Is her leap of faith the beginning of something wonderful, or is it too much, too fast?

As James and Bianca feel a growing need for each other that neither can deny, circumstances beyond their control intervene, trying to tear them apart. Amidst the ever mounting threat of a monster who wants Bianca dead, and the constant pitfalls of an indiscreet past that James can’t seem to escape, can these two passionate lovers manage to find their happily ever after?

My thoughts:

This book was HOT. I mean they had sex everywhere and anywhere they can think of. The first thing I noted that the Mr. chapter titles was back and I liked that in the first book and I liked it in this one to. It gave you some idea what mood James was in this chapter. This whole series is a delicious blend of heart-clenching emotion, fan-yourself hotness, make-you-blush kink, combined with an engaging plot that keeps you flipping the pages. Its absolutely absorbing and I seriously didn’t want to put it down even for a minute! 

“I’m going to make you come so many ways that you forget all of the ways that you can find to doubt us.” 

This book started right where Mile High stopped. You don’t have to reread the last book to understand what was going on but if you have read mile high in a long time then I recommend you read the last chapter before you start with grounded. The sex and romance in this book was very well balanced and I must say the romance was just WOW. This book had completely, utterly heart-clenching, squeeing-out-loud romance that just melted my heart!! I loved to read how James and Bianca worked together to get through there ups and downs and it was all heart-warmingly sweet.

“You are more precious to me than my own life, by far. It’s not even a question. I would do anything for you.“ .

In this book James got a lot more protective but thank goodness for that. There was a lot of suspense in the book for a while with Bianca’s father and all. It took Bianca a while to get use to all the bodyguards following her everywhere and I do understand why James was scared he might lose after all he is a real rich guy who can afford bodyguards. The sweetest thing that I loved about James is that he never once in his life was jealous of Bianca and Stephens relationship. He accepted him in all the ways and he made sure that Stephen would always be in Bianca’s life because he is like a brother to her and you would know he would die for Bianca.  

“I honestly couldn’t tell which was driving him tonight, the Dom or my tender lover, there was such a mix of feelings in his eyes.”
“James had shown me a profound tenderness and love that belonged only to me, from our very first time together…. it was more precious of a gift than I’d allowed myself to see. He was my Dom, and I was his sub, but our love had turned it into so much more…” 

That ending was so damn amazing it was real HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY ending I mean it was one of the sweetest things I have ever read. Bianca has come so far in these book you would never have thought that this book would end like this if you just started reading the series now. James has changed Bianca in all the better ways and made her feel better with herself and safer to trust other. She trust more easier now in a better way. 

Everybody should read and fall in love with James Cavendish! ♥

Easy (Contours of the Heart #1)

Book: Easy (Contours of the Heart #1)
Author: Tammara Webber
Publication:November 6th 2012 by Penguin Berkley (first published May 25th 2012)
Genre:Young Adult, Romance, Contemporary Romance, Chick Lit
Synopsis:Rescued by a stranger.
Haunted by a secret
Sometimes, love isn’t easy…

He watched her, but never knew her. Until thanks to a chance encounter, he became her savior…

The attraction between them was undeniable. Yet the past he’d worked so hard to overcome, and the future she’d put so much faith in, threatened to tear them apart.

Only together could they fight the pain and guilt, face the truth—and find the unexpected power of love.

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.

The Edge of Never (The Edge of Never #1)

Book: The Edge of Never (The Edge of Never #1)
Author: J. A. Redmerski
Publication:July 4th 2013 
Genre: Romance, Contemporary Romance, Young Adult, New Adult, Chick Lit
Synopsis: Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett thought she knew exactly where her life was going. But after a wild night at the hottest club in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, she shocks everyone-including herself-when she decides to leave the only life she's ever known and set out on her own. Grabbing her purse and her cell phone, Camryn boards a Greyhound bus ready to find herself. Instead, she finds Andrew Parrish.

Sexy and exciting, Andrew lives life like there is no tomorrow. He persuades Camryn to do things she never thought she would and shows her how to give in to her deepest, most forbidden desires. Soon he becomes the center of her daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But there is more to Andrew than Camryn realizes. Will his secret push them inseparably together-or destroy them forever?

MY THOUGHTS:

This book like the first time I read it last year was just as amazing as last year. I loved reading the book the first time and I still love it. I can say this book was sexy, fun read and also heartbreaking at the end and it was sweet. I love to say that I would read it again because I will I don't have a lot of books that I would reread over and over again but this book is one book that I will always make time to reread again and again.

“Everybody starts out as strangers.” 

This book is in both Andrew's and Camryn's point of view so you can see what both of them are thinking. Though it's been told more in Camryn's point of view so I loved it every time I read Andrews pov because I love to read and see what the guy thinks about the girl. I really loved that Andrew could make Camryn feel alive for the first time in her life. Camryn was broken and her fixed her in a way that no one else could but Andrew had a secret that nearly made Cam loose him. Cam made it the best few weeks of his life and he fell in love with her since the beginning but both of them weren't ready to be together. Andrew nearly walked away from her before she could say that she wants to be his but it all ended up quite well in the end where they started dating.

“I know you lost your partner in crime, but...I want YOU to be MINE. Maybe WE should travel the world together, Camryn...I know I can't replace your ex--"
"Andrew...it was always you.”

AT the end of the book I was crying like a baby even though I already new what will happen I still cried. It hurt my heart to read what was happening to the two and Camryn reacted when this happened The letter he wrote for Cam really did break my heart and like before after I finished readying the book I had to stare out in space for a while just to get control over my feelings again. Like I said before this is the best book I have ever read and I would reread it again anytime.

 “Never hold back...be sure to do what you want in life, say what you feel and never be afraid to be yourself. Fuck what everybody else thinks. You're living for you, not them.” 

A Beautiful Wedding (Beautiful #2.5)

Book: 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. 

Safe with Me (With Me in Seattle #5)

Book: Safe with Me (With Me in Seattle #5)

Author: Kristen Proby

Publication: September 21st 2013

Genre: Romance > Contemporary Romance Contemporary Adult Fiction > Erotica New Adult Romance > Erotic Romance

Synopsis: Keeping others safe is what Caleb Montgomery does. He's never had a problem taking on an assignment, whether it was during his dangerous SEAL days or his most recent job of training war mercenaries. But being assigned to keep Brynna Vincent and her adorable daughters, Maddie and Josie, safe from an unknown threat has thrown Caleb off his axis. Hot for the tall brunette since she came back to town more than a year ago, being close to her day in and day out is cracking Caleb's resolve to keep his hands off her gorgeous body and his head in the mission.

Brynna is sick and tired of being afraid. All she wants is a normal, quiet life for her and her precious girls. Just as she's settling into her new home in Seattle and feeling safe again, Caleb shows up on her doorstep insisting the danger is as high as ever. But whether she needs to be sheltered from the threat in her past, or from the intense emotions she feels for the sexy, protective man sleeping in her home, remains to be seen. What will happen if Brynna and her girls fall in love with a man so broken he may not be able to protect them from the danger that threatens, much less himself?"

SAFE WITH ME is the fifth book in the With Me In Seattle series, and continues to follow this tight-knit, loving family through life's trials and tribulations with humor, passion and everlasting love.

MY THOUGHTS:

This book was really sweet and amazing. Caleb loved Brynna and both her children and I just loved reading every moment of it. The book melted my heart a few times and that ending was just so amazing and there was lots and lots of love. A very amazing, sexy, hot romance book. 

I can’t say that this is one of my favourite book of the series but I really did enjoy it. Kristen knows how to write hot steamy romance novels. The book starts when Brynna is forced out of her town back to Seattle for her safety. She works for her cousin’s husband under the table and moved into Nat’s old house. Matt who is the cop in the story knows what happened so does Isaac and Caleb that’s the only people in her family who knows about it. 

After someone started looking and asking questions about the Montgomery family Matt and Caleb thought they are looking for Brynna again so Caleb decided to move into her house with her and her children. Brynna just wanted to feel safe again but it was hard for her when Caleb moved in with her because she liked him a lot and she was lusting for him. He liked her a lot to but he thought she deserves better. He doesn't think that he's capable of a relationship; his experiences as a SEAL left him broken and damaged. He doesn't think that he has anything to offer Brynna or her girls. But that doesn't mean that he stops wanting her any less.

“God, she can destroy me with just a look. I’ve faced horrors that no man or woman should have to see and faced them without qualms, but this woman and her two daughters bring me to my knees.”

Brynna was a real amazing heroine. She was no pushover and she did not whine when she didn’t get her way and I loved how she handled Caleb and his problems. She was real patient with him and she trusted him and helped him in every way possible and she understood him. Caleb was just pure sex on a stick. Kristen Proby definitely did not disappoint in the sex department. This book was HOT. This book was a real page turner and these two just burned of the pages. I liked that Brynna went after what she wanted and sis not shy away from getting it. I also loved the kids they were adorable and I liked how Caleb was with them. 

Now why only for stars? Well for me they just glossed over the danger in the books and I just did not connect that much with Brynna and Caleb. That’s why I give four stars instead of five. . I just felt like something was missing. It seemed like there was all this build up, and then in the end the quick resolution just fell slightly flat. There could have been more danger in it to show that Caleb is good at protecting. What I loved is there was a little teaser of the next book at the end and I really love a dirty and kinky cops.

“I drop my face to my hands and scrub hard.

"I wish I had your boobs," I hear Sam announce and raise my head to see who she's talking to. Of course, she's talking to Bryn.

"Right," she smirks and takes another bite of brownie.

"Dude, I do!" And just like that, Sam saunters across the room and cups Brynna's tit in her palm. "See? You have the perfect boobs. Stace, have you felt her boobs?"

Just kill me. Put a bullet in my head and end the agony.

"Oh yeah," Stacy waves her off. "She has great tits."

She has amazing tits.

"I wanna feel!" Jules bounces over and joins in.

"Give me more chocolate and you can touch all you want." Brynna laughs and then glances over at me. "This is the most action I've had in months."

"Motherfuckingsonofawhore." I grumble.

"Is Brynna single?" Mark asks Will.

"Keep your fucking hands off her," I growl at him before I know what's coming out of my mouth.

"Hey," he holds his hands up in surrender and laughs. "It was just an innocent question.”

I love the girls when the drunk I mean they are really funny then. Can’t stop laughing at them with them talking about sex and orgasms and piercings in unmentionable places.  I love this family.

Rock with Me (With Me in Seattle #4)

Book: Rock with Me (With Me in Seattle #4)

Author: Kristen Proby

Publication: May 1st 2013

Genre: Romance > Contemporary Romance Contemporary Adult Fiction > Erotica

New Adult Romance > Erotic Romance

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.”
