Fighting The Fall by Jennifer Snow Review
3 Smooches
Synopsis
Hollywood actress Parker Hamilton will do anything to get back in the spotlight. Since breaking up with one of the industry’s most successful directors, she’s been in a string of box office busts. Now, she’s found the role of a lifetime in a film about a female MMA fighter and she knows exactly who to ask for help learning the ropes…
When Tyson Reed sees a blonde bombshell walk into his gym looking for training, he wants to refuse. He knows her type and he doesn’t need any unwanted distractions while preparing for his upcoming title fight. But if he can’t pay off his brother’s debts, Tyson could lose his gym… and the reputation his family has had in the MMA world for three generations.
Tyson never thought he’d be going one-on-one with a spoiled, out-of-shape Hollywood actress. But this is one bout he just may not win—or want to…
Review
‘What an asshole. Tyson Reed had to be one of the worst men she’d come in contact with . . . ever. He was arrogant, cocky, and rude.’
Fighter books are a guilty pleasure of mine so when I saw this second book on Netgalley I jumped on it. Tyson was the alpha mean man I expected and looked forward to. Parker is trying to get back to the Hollywood starlet status she once held but has lost since her break up with a famous director. After finally finding the role she thinks will get her there she has just weeks to train to look and act like a female MMA fighter. She turns to the one man she thinks can get her there, Tyson Reed. One problem, Tyson wants nothing to do with the starlet who just walked in his door despite his instant attraction to the sexy blonde.
“Why is it that you’re the last thing I need right now, but the only fucking thing I want?”
I enjoyed all the individual elements of this story. I liked both the heroine and hero but together I just did not feel the connection. I was more wrapped up in the subplots around Conner and Dane than I was invested in Parker and Tyson. I seem to be in the minority here so maybe it is just a case of not the right book for the right reviewer. Still an enjoyable fast and easy read and I am actually really excited to read Dane’s book.

EXCERPT
There is nothing but water and silence and the most dangerous man she’s ever met. And a dead body. It occurs to her that this was a stupid fucking decision.
Jacobs holds up a hand and Josh pulls back on the throttle, slowing the boat until it idles in near silence, pulled along by the waves. For a long moment, no one says anything.
“Now what?” Charlie murmurs.
Jacobs smiles, and stands. Even on a boat in the middle of the fucking swampy bayou, he moves with a grace that makes her want to claw his eyes out or fuck him. Or perhaps fuck him, and then claw his eyes out. A tiny smirk turns her lips, and then it slips, vanishing as she looks at the coolers he stops near.
“Now we get rid of that pesky fiancé, sweetheart.”
Charlie pales, visible even in the darkness. EJ jerks out of her seat, and takes a stumbling step forward. “What the hell, Jacobs?” she snaps.
“Sit down, Ella. This isn’t for you to do.”

True Divide by Liora Blake Review
4.5 Smooches
Synopsis
Spitfire Lacey Mosely feels stuck in a life she didn’t necessarily want. But will she find a happy ending with the man who broke her heart? Liora Blake concludes her witty and poignant True series with this spirited romance.
What do you do when the one boy you were never quite able to forget lands on your doorstep?
Lacey Mosely feels stuck: in her rural town of Crowell, Montana, at her job as manager of The Beauty Barn, and in her lackluster love life. Enter Jake Holt, one-time misfit and Lacey’s secret high school love. Ten years later, Jake is a private pilot whose travels take him all over the world, and once he shows up in Lacey’s life again—at the most unexpected time—he can’t seem to stay away. Now it’s up to Lacey to decide if she’s ready to let go of the past…and take a leap of faith for love.
Review
‘He looks, I look away. I look, he sees, and the side of his mouth hitches up in faint acknowledgement. We both look, locking gazes until someone gives. It’s maddening. And fabulous.’
True Divide is the third standalone in the True series by Liora Blake.I first discovered this series on Netgalley and have been hooked since the first book. I am often hesitant to grab published books because more often than not I am let down and left feeling like it could have just been more. Not the case with this book, and series, as it is full of drama, emotion, character growth and supreme intense sexual chemistry.
“Can you handle everything, Lace? Are you fucking sure? Because if you say yes, I plan to go at this so gaddamn hard you won’t be able to do a fucking thing but take it. So be sure before you answer.”
More than ten years have passed since Lacey has laid eyes on the guy she was secret;y involved with in high school. When he left without even a goodbye he took her heart with him and she never expected to see him again. So when Jake returns home to the small town he loathes her whole world is turned upside down. These two have a clear connection that has never gone away and an intense sexual attraction that had the pages melting.
Can two people leading conflicting lives find a way to come together or will their different paths lead them away from each other?
“Drugged by his touch, drowning in an ache I can’t control.”
I have loved each book in this series and am beyond excited to see what Liora has for us in the future. Great writing and a superb talent for storytelling has quickly made her a must click author for me.

Review
I am seriously in love with this series. I didn’t think that I could possibly like book two better than I did book one but I do. Oh God, It is so hilarious and I just freaking love the banter between King and Margo. Their attraction is so off the charts it is almost enough to rival their verbal sparring. This blend of love and hate is heady combination.
‘It’s a horrible position to be in when you find your enemy insanely attractive.’
And as you know from the huge cliffy at the end of Naughty King, shit just got real and oh, how the tables have turned because it seems that now Margo may have King by the balls and he simply cannot stand it.
‘I can’t believe I’m married to the fucking Feisty Princess of Manhattan. How in the hell did I allow this to happen?’
This story just keeps getting better and better with each installment and I am simply hooked. It is angsty and sexy and all of that is broken up with some really funny bits courtesy of King’s bestie, Yamada! I just love his character and he is utterly insane but I just cannot get enough of him. If you are looking for a fun and sexy read, than this one is a must read and I cannot wait to see what happens next as this one ended with a bit of a cliff hanger too!

Excerpt:
I’d tried to recall exactly what he’d looked and sounded like earlier that day. But with each passing hour the recollections had become embellished in my mind. I recalled the sun behind his head now as a radiating glow. His voice, deep and stirring, in my memory rolled like thunder, fluttering my tummy while melting my insides. His chest wasn’t just muscular, it was sculpted, and I no longer just remembered the sight of his dark hair and slight facial stubble. Now, my skin tingled at the thought of its touch—so real, as if I’d felt it against the most sensitive of my parts.
When I stepped past the woman and exited the glass doors, my breathing hitched.
I hadn’t embellished, not really. With the orange glow of the setting sun sending prisms dancing off the waves below, the man casually leaning against the rail was everything I’d imagined and more. Despite the ocean breeze, his casual stance, the way one hand lingered in the pocket of his pants while the other held tightly to a tall fluted glass of light colored liquid, filled me with warmth.
I was glad that Chelsea had talked me into wearing a dress and that I’d insisted on wearing panties. As he stood to walk toward me, the light gray suit coat he wore moved effortlessly accentuating his shoulders and forming a V to his trim waist. If I’d thought he was handsome in his swim trunks, he was even better in a silk suit. The white shirt he wore was unbuttoned at the neck and his strong jaw was covered with just a hint of stubble. Whoever this man was, he wore the combination of casual and class with ease.
I remained still as his grin grew and he scanned me from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. Just like earlier at the pool, the gaze of his light blue eyes burned my skin, sending a rush of heat and leaving goose bumps in its wake. I found myself lost in the paleness of his eyes, like pools of liquid, I imagined drowning in their depths, and then, they settled on mine.
“Welcome, Charli, with an I. I’m very glad you accepted my invitation.” Flutters like butterfly wings filled my tummy as I searched the horizon for clouds of an impending storm. There were none. It was him. His voice did roll like the low rumble of thunder.
“Would you like to have a seat?” he asked, reaching for my elbow and leading me toward the table.
I almost jumped at the touch of his warm skin against mine. Electricity like I’d never felt surged through my veins setting off detonations at each synapse. My eyes snapped to his, and for just a moment, I believed he felt the same thing, but just as quickly, his expression found its casual confident demeanor.
“Yes,” I said, trying also to ignore the chemistry that threatened to knock me off my feet. “Thank you. You didn’t need to go to all this work.”
He laughed. “It wasn’t me.”

Review
When life gets too difficult, wouldn’t it be a real treat if we could leave it all behind, fly somewhere warm, alter our identity and have a deliciously sinful week full of dirty, rough no-strings sex with the handsome stranger sitting at the bar? That is exactly what happens to intelligent, loyal and beautiful Alexandria. Brought up in a house full of isolation and cold shoulders, judgement and selfishness, Alex has just finished college-an opportunity that afforded her more freedom than she ever had before. As a rule, I’m not a big fan of jumping timelines, the to-ing and fro-ing can either become annoying and repetitive or just plain confusing and in Betrayal we go from the present to the past to the present pretty regularly, however it does work with the storyline.
Our mysterious, handsome and down right naughty hero Nox has a witty mind, dominant personality, filthy mouth and a distinct aura of intrigue about him. The only problem I had with Nox was the fact that he didn’t appear in every chapter, in fact there is so much mystery regarding our hero that he isn’t in this book nearly enough but I believe Betrayal is simply setting us up for big things with the next book.
Alex or ‘Charli’ as she is sometimes known is a rather complex and alluring character. She exudes this innocence and fragility but is in actual fact one of the strongest, sensual and interesting female leads I’ve ever read. At times I got so worked up and angry about what she had to endure at home, her mother and her step-father are two of the most vile, loathsome villains around, one through design and the other from cowardice but in stunning contrast we see how incredible Alex actually is and it’s from her precious time with Nox that she has her own sexual awakening but also a bittersweet taste of what attention and affection feel like.
‘Nox was a walking contrast, a dichotomy of everything I’d known and everything I thought I’d wanted. His unique combination of force and tenderness should be illegal, because with just one taste I was instantly addicted.’
Betrayal is a sterling piece of writing, thoroughly engaging, rather suspenseful and absolutely jam packed full of secrets and emotion and ridiculously hot sex but when it comes to Aleatha Romig, I really wouldn’t expect anything less. Although Betrayal is a great story I definitely think it’s just the starting point for the next book of which I have very high hopes. Betrayal is setting the scene and introducing the players and circumstances and although I enjoyed it I feel like I could have benefited from having a bit more Nox in my life and having Alex stand up to her mother a little more but I’m almost sure there’s more drama and trouble brewing on all fronts. This is a terrific start to what I’m sure is going to be an amazing series.
