Beautifully Twisted by Jennifer Domenico

Beautifully Twisted

This book was gifted to me by Nancy Godinez via Triple M. I wrote the review after I finished it. But before I posted it I had a moment of hesitation. The book has got a straight 5 stars from all 13 reviews. And that will make me a first to mentioned something negative about it. But after talking to some friends and an author I know... they think a productive negativity is ok. Well, I'm not sure this is productive, but at least I can guarantee it's honest.

Scotty and Lexi have a history. He's her hot sexy boss. And she slept her way up to the big position.

The story is erotica so there are a lot of hot sex scenes. But I wish there was more. More descriptive? More narrative? The dialogues were dialogues indeed. No emotional description. No bother. Just "....", follow with "..."

Sex? Umm... Sex's hot. But it could definitely be hotter and more believable. There are times I cringed while reading.

Being exposed in the car?In the traffic? At the traffic light stop? In the middle of London? With her skirt all the way up to her hip and fully exposed? On the hot hood after driving and in the parking garage with security camera? I find it a little hard to believe.

The whole switching between being submissive and dominant thing?! I have no experience and though the author tries to give the reason to support it, maybe I'm wrong but I didn't buy it.

Pussy eating? I know getting it licked is nice. But I personally think it's too much. Yeah, I said it.. hard to believe someone says too much good things are too much, right? But that's what I felt in this story. And getting one from your masseur? Seriously???!

Lastly but sadly, there are typos. Here and there.

Melissa Diamond gifted me this book.
"This book IS NOT a cliffhanger, it is a stand alone with a HEA." - that sentence did it for me.

I've read books from Bec before and I love them. Picked up the book before I went to bed.... Its fast pace kept me interested and ended up finishing the book in one sitting, at half past three....

Well done Author Bec ♥ It proves you can write a non-erotica romance too. Dash and Slade are so cute together. Love the tension, love the chemistry. I cried at Chapter 5.. The story started with a problem because they didn't talk to each other. Maybe they wanted to.. but after reading, you'd understand that they couldn't. And after they talked, oh I love it. He's f**ked up, but he was so ready to fix it.
Though I wouldn't mind if their sex will be a bit more heavy. Or a lot more heavy. Or... You know. Full on erotica again.. Lol. Sex with Slade... Hmmm... Absolutely not complaining. ♥

Slade ♥

Losing Me, Finding You by C.M. Stunich

Losing Me, Finding You

Thank you CM!! This is such a treat. You're so nice and so talented you merely grab our names and twist them just a little we still know who's who and put them nicely in the book. Because we all wanted a hot motorcycle read, you just deliver. :)

It's so nice and a cute change. It's an added unusual exciting experience to wait and see who's coming up next. And I'm so glad my name was also part of it. And every single times (two to be exact) it's Austin himself who thought about me. Yay!! Thank you.

Amy - Amy represents soooo many of us romance novel readers. And she's so funny she compares things to her book and heroes and heroines all the time (just like we all do!). But I gotta say the girl's got guts! It's gonna be hard not giving her respect after reading this.
She's looking for "change and freedom and passion and some of that heart-stopping angst that's always in the books." And Amy's lucky she's so getting it.

Austin - **happy sigh** Austin's soooooooo sweet. Such a sweet sweet biker in his own way. He's tough. But he's sweet. Must be difficult but CM made the combination perfectly possible.

I find the first 40% of the book a little hard to follow. Everything is everywhere. But hey, the last 60% was sooooooooo good I read it all in one go. And glad I didn't give up on Austin. ;)

This book has a little bit of everything. Biker, angst, sex, swearing, back stabbing, tension, romance, mocking, and jokes. It's not hard core biker book. But you can't say it's not a biker book because it is. And it's a bit of everything else too. Too much? Yeah that's why one star is missing from my rating. :)

Love Austin, Amy, Melissa, Mireya, Kent, Jodie, Megan,

the wise Sali Bend, 

Kimberly, Jen and everyone ... 

How cool is it to have the book of us!!! 

Thanks again CM. You. Rock!!! <3

Blind Obsession by Ella Frank

Blind Obsession

Ella Frank did an absolutely incredibly amazing job....

oh my good god....... I've just finished the book.
And I can't bring myself to digest the story... or I will cry a river... right here at office desk....... poor poor souls.... oh. my. god.

I'm not sure what I should call this. She calls it erotica... I'd like to call it a love story.. a very dark and twisted one. And I can obviously not say anything about the story without spoiling it.. You'll discover it together with Gemma, a journalist who's there to reveal the truth behind this love story. And it's not her alone. It's him. It's her. It's her. And it's the journal. It's the painting. It's the music.

Her way of story telling kept me curious.. I was full blown intrigued. I wanted to know how the story ends. People kept asking me how I like the story while I was reading... I couldn't tell them anything. ANYTHING. All I answered was, I'm captivated and I wanna know how this will end. One it did. Bammm... it hit me in the face. It's the last painting that's been there all along.

Love looks not with the eyes but with the minds.
The story blew me... my heart is still thumping so hard. Wow. This is the first book I read from Ella Frank. There is no doubt I'm so searching for more books from her. O. m. g.

Deception (The Mystic Series) by B.C. Burgess

Deception

Oh my ... Sooooo much has happened in this book.

Fin's made his move. We get to know who he is and his intention. 

The stranger's revealed. 

Farris's gone. Guthrie is promoted. 

Agro is getting insane.

Layla's introduced to Quin's friends and they played hockey. 

Can't stop comparing it with Twilight's baseball. 

But this one IS SO GOOOOD. 

How they played it and the rink. 

Oh the rink was so sweet. :)

Bonnie has proved to be as thorough as Quin 

(if not more, but is it possible?)... 

not one stone unturned. 

She never once failed to mention Layla sealed her dress before flying 

or how her grandparents noticed the change in their guestroom. 

The guestroom scene just shows how thoughtful the author is. 

I didn't expect it. But it's there. And I'm glad it is. 

The grand speech from Layla to Fin. 

The speech from Quin to Cordelia, his mother. 

Oh my goodness. They're so heartfelt.

And as you read through the book.... 

oh my... I wish the book ended at Chapter 29... 

I'd be sooooo in my happy place. 

But no, Bonnie had to make sure we didn't forget 

there is something dark lurking near Quin and Layla's happy bubbles... 

And now I need the 4th book - Retribution. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I love you so much, Layla. It's unreal how much."

oh I LOVE Quin. He's too good, he's unreal. ;)

Impassion (The Mystic Series) by B.C. Burgess

Impassion

You have to read Descension (book 1) before reading this book.
Impassion is book 2 in the Mystic Series..

Two words came to mind while reading... Touchy-feely and awwwww....
It seems Quin couldn't keep his hands to himself and Layla didn't seem to want him too. They were so affectionate, passionate, and so sweet.

Impassion introduces you to aura dissection and it's so stinking cute!

Layla's magic power is stronger but still not enough when faced with Farris, Agro's right hand. And there is one more important character introduced, Finley. Finley seems to think he could easily replace Quin but Layla disagreed. She put her foot down and I LOVE her for it. She's finally grown out of her shell.

Can't wait for Deception (The Mystic Series). I'm so eager to find out what awaits them when they have finally admitted I Love Yous to each other. :)

Right now my aura is pulsing with espresso brown with pink stripes. :)
