4.5 Smooches!

Synopsis

Never in a million years would I have pictured myself as an axe-wielding, dragon lady, chopping up multi-colored flannel shirts into my very own plaid mulch. But here I am, chopping away my frustrations.

It all started when my brother, Paul, convinced me to go on one last family road trip across the Mother Road with him and my dad.. Just like old times, right? Wrong. What Paul fails to mention is his best man, Porter, will be joining us, who just so happens to be my childhood crush and the man who broke my heart four years ago.

What is supposed to be a fun, family bonding experience across Route 66 turns into a war of pranks, awkward moments and bathrooms full of dirty flannel shirts and day old beard clippings. Paul’s know-it-all attitude and Porter’s devilish charm brings me to the brink of my sanity on my seven day trek across the United States with three bearded men in a small 1980’s RV.

Review

 

“This is the about the week leading up to my brother’s wedding… the week that I now refer to on my blog as the journey of three beards and a mascara brush.”

Twenty-two-old beauty blogger, Marley McCann, is surprised one day outside her LA apartment by her farmer father, Bernie, and her computer nerd/drama queen brother, Paul, who is getting married in a little over a week. In lieu of a bachelor party, Paul wants a week to fulfill their deceased mother’s lifelong dream: a family road trip along Route 66 in their 1980s RV (named Tacy) from California to Chicago, where they will indulge in the mother of all hotdogs. It had always been her goal to travel the country in Tacy with the intention of having a hotdog in every state, and she was nearly there. Before she became ill, Mama McCann had this trip all planned and mapped out. The time has come for the remaining McCann’s to fulfill Mama’s dream.

“Here’s to getting our kicks on Route 66.”

Mixed cassette tapes, aggressive car games, practical jokes gone awry, explosive diarrhea, Funyons and Honkey Dory, the nearly melted butthole incident, presidents’ names as expletives, enough trivia to fill an encyclopedia and an intimidating set of eyebrows: this trip makes the Griswolds vacation look like a trip to the library. The big surprise for Marley, though, is the unexpected, but unsurprising, addition of Porter Smith, her brother’s best friend, her dad’s farmhand/second son and her not-so-former childhood crush. Oh, she’s deep in denial about it, but despite decimating her tender eighteen-year-old heart four years earlier, she still carries that torch for him. She’s been steadfastly ignoring and avoiding all things Porter for the last four years, so the idea of being trapped in the tight quarters of her family’s RV with him for a week is not enveloping her in nostalgic, warm fuzzies.

“Marley McCann is made for me, our souls are entwined, it’s a shame our paths are going in two different directions.”

Porter Smith fell in love with Marley McCann practically the day he met her, upon walking up to the McCann’s farm the day after his family moved in next door. His childhood was nowhere near as idyllic as Marley and Paul’s was, but Mama McCann embraced him immediately as one of her own and their family gave Porter the solid foundation, love and attention that his home life had been lacking. After Paul left for the Army before Marley’s senior year in HS, Porter and Marley grew even closer. He fell head over heels for her, as she did with him, but recognizing that she was destined for something more than could be found their in rural Jamestown, NY farming town, he broke both of their hearts instead by letting her go. He’s never gotten over her, he’s never forgotten what they shared, and he knows, down to the bottom of his soul, he will never love anyone the way he loves her. She is it for him, and he is hers.

“Why does it feel like I’m living out my Kevin Arnold fantasies, and I finally have a chance with Winnie Cooper?”

Desperate to reconnect with her after four years of complete radio silence, Porter attempts to engage Marley. But her heart wasn’t just broken the night he left her behind without a word, it was shattered. Patient and hopeful, Porter slowly but surely chips away at Marley’s walls. They reconnect, and while neither is ready to admit it to the other, the feelings they have for each other are very much still there – right there – and they cannot help but act on them. Smoldering and sexy bearded kisses, stolen romantic moments and a beautiful night under the stars in a tent all add up to something neither can deny. But will past wounds get in the way? Can they be brave enough to put aside their pain and finally tell each other how they feel? Perhaps… but maybe a push in the form of some Mama McCann wisdom will do the trick.

“These hands, they were made to protect my heart, to guide me through life, and to take care of me…”

Gah! What a hilarious book!! This book was tears-streaming-down-your-face, doubled-over-clutching-your-sides, foot-stomping, legs-crossed-so-you-don’t-pee-yourself, unable-to-catch-your-breath-from-laughing-out-loud funny. So descriptive, I felt like I was riding along with the McCanns on the Route 66 road trip. Porter and Marley’s love story was sweet, and while I wished for more, there was even a bit of steamy goodness to be found here. (But, let’s be honest, how much can really happen when you’re cooped up in a camper with your dad and your older brother?) This was a fun, sometimes kooky, sometimes heart-meltingly sweet book. I loved it!

It’s 4.5 raucous, romantic, Richard-Nixon-ranting smooches from me for Meghan Quinn’s The Mother Road.

Synopsis

When Brent Mason looks at Kennedy Randolph, he doesn’t see the awkward, sweet girl who grew up next door. He sees a self-assured, stunning woman…who wants to crush the most intimate – and prized – parts of his anatomy beneath the heels of her Christian Louboutins.

Brent has never let the loss of his leg in a childhood accident affect his ability to lead a fulfilling life. He sets high goals–and then he reaches them.

And now he has his sights set on Kennedy.
**
When Kennedy looks at Brent Mason, all she sees is the selfish, Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue-worthy teenager who humiliated her in high school to join the popular crowd. A crowd that made those years a living hell.

She’s not a lovesick social outcast anymore – she’s a DC prosecutor with a long winning streak behind her. Brent is the opposing attorney in her next case and she thinks it’s time to put him through a little hell of his own.

But things aren’t exactly working out that way.

Because every fiery exchange has her wondering if he’s as passionate in the bedroom as he is in the courtroom. Each argument and objection only makes him want her more. In the end, Brent and Kennedy may just find themselves in love…or in contempt of court.

APPEALED is a sexy, humorous romance about first crushes, second chances and the final verdict of the heart.

 

Review

I seriously love this series.  I love Emma Chase’s hilarious writing but I also have fallen in love with these characters so I just wanted to start off saying that I really enjoyed visiting with the characters from the first couple of books in this series and seeing where they are now.  But the main reason why I REALLY loved Appealed is because it is a second chance romance and I am super big time sucker for these types of stories.

“I’m not going to let us fall this time, Kennedy.”

Why do I love these types of books, you ask.  Because they are usually chock full of misunderstandings and angst from the past that is still hanging around making things hard and awkward.  And that my friends is how I like books.  Angsty and hard won love affairs are the very best and this one was pretty point on.  Even though it was loaded with all the resentment and feels of a second chance romance it was also so darn funny in that special Emma Chase way.

“What’d you do to your face?”

“I grew a beard.”

“Well, ungrow it.  It looks like vagina from a 1970s porn film.”

Also, let’s not forget that Brent is a disabled man and this chicky happens to have a thing for a book boyfriend with disabilities.  I mean, its kinda hot to be alpha with only one leg, ya know. 😉  Also Kennedy has zero effs to give about his lack of leg and always gives as good as she gets, never feeling bad for him and always coming with the snarkiness which just made me love her!

For all its humor and sarcasm, Appealed still gave me ALL. THE. FEELS.  And I just fell in love with Kennedy and Brent falling in love again.  Great story and addition to the series!

“I don’t think, ‘Oh, Brent is so strong,’ even though you are.  I don’t think, ‘He’s survived so much,’ even though you have.”  “I just think – perfect.  You’re. . . perfect.”

Blurb:

She wanted a one-night stand…and then he moved in next door.

 

Paige Bennett is more than content with her life and what she does—and does not—have in it. She’s got a supportive family, a great apartment, and the best friend a girl could ask for; so what if her relationships expire faster than a carton of milk? After a disastrous detour courtesy of poor judgment in the boyfriend department, her plan is back on track and her dream job is finally within her grasp. Nothing can make her lose focus now. Well, nothing except the one-night stand she had with her best friend’s surrogate brother. The one-night stand she can’t stop thinking about.

Adam Reid has always been reliable…the responsible son, the loyal friend, the steady boyfriend. Two years ago, he graduated Magna Cum Laude and is well on his way to making a name for himself at an accounting firm in Denver—a far cry from working as a helper in the Mom and Pop store his parents own in Michigan. But when said store starts failing, he’s the only one who can step in and help. So reliable Adam does what he always does, and he comes to the rescue.

Paige thought Adam was a safe bet because he lives halfway across the country. But then suddenly he’s moving back to their town, and then into her apartment building, and soon he’s worming his way right into her life. If she’s not careful, he might sneak his way into her heart, too…

Review

‘It’s like he’s done some kind of crazy voodoo magic on me. He’s dickmatized me. And that’s really goddamn sad, considering I haven’t seen his dick in nearly half a year.’

I can’t believe I waited as long as I have to read this series and now that I have I am hooked. Each book is so fun and unique that I have devoured them all in a week and sad that I don’t have more to read in this series. Paige In Progress is the third book in the Reluctant Hearts series and features a sassy heroine who refuses to settle down and a man who is a serial monogamist. Both are so far outside their comfort zone that the book is full of intense feelings as well as hilarious situations.

“I think we both know I can be less than a perfect gentleman when it’s warranted.”

Adam is perfect boyfriend material, but Paige does not want a boyfriend. So hooking up with him a while back might not have been the best idea. Both are part of the same tight group of friends and this is the type of thing to make group encounters very very awkward. Thank goodness he lives across the country. One problem . . .  he is back for the summer to help save his parents shop and he wants back in Paige’s bed and in her life, even if she is sure that’s not what she is looking for at all.

‘Somehow this girl has completely rewritten every preconceived notion of what I assumed I wanted in a woman. Erased them all and scribbled in every one of her attributes instead.’

Oh Adam, I could easily make this review a long love letter to this insanely sweet and thoughtful man who has the amazing ability to turn into a dirty talking, protective alpha whenever Paige is around. Anyone who has come across Adam before would never have expected the dirty words that escape through his mouth. He was an amazing dirty talker and after finishing the book I am already desperate for more from him. For me while Paige was hysterical she (like Winter in book 1) was hard to love. She was cynical and constantly pushing Adam away but in the end I warmed to her and was rooting for them both to get it all together.

‘The only way this is safe for Paige is the one way it’s not safe for me. Even still, I’m in. In this with her, for as long as I can get her. For as long as she’ll let me be.’

Brighton Walsh has delivered a story full of one liners and dirty sex that also tears at your heart. She covered all the bases for me to thoroughly enjoy a book and I can honestly say I am looking forward to seeing what she will put out next.

His hands were hot as they gripped my upper thighs, his fingers spreading me open. He blew against my lips before running his tongue up and down my clit. My eyes clenched tight as my body went taut at the feel of his mouth on me.

“Watch me as I taste you for the first time, Selene.”

My eyes popped open at his command, but it was difficult to keep them that way when his tongue flicked out and stroked my clit. I plunged my hands into his hair, trying to bring his face even closer to me. Stiffening his tongue, he buried it deep inside me, tongue-fucking me until I was writhing with need before he replaced it with two fingers. His fingers were so large, they stretched me wide as he rubbed against my G-spot.

“So close,” I muttered, feeling my climax starting to build. My legs tightened against his head as I tried to gain the added pressure I needed to set me off.

Then he wrapped his lips around my clit and sucked hard before gently biting down. The combination of pain and pleasure was enough to throw me over the edge. I screamed as my climax hit my body and held his head to me so I could grind my hips against his mouth.

Camden gave me a few last licks before rubbing his mouth along my thigh. “My mate has the sweetest pussy.”

Review

I love Rochelle Paige, she knows how to deliver a fast, exciting and heartfelt story every time. Bear The Burden is the third book in the McHanon Clan series and while the series revolves around bear shifters it also includes multiple species, with a main focus in this book being witches. Camden and Selene are a pair unlike any we have seen yet. With constant tension between witches and shifters these two must bridge a gap during one of the most trying of times.

“From now on, you’ll never have to look far to find me. I’ll be exactly where I belong – with you.”

With Camden being the last of the triplets to pair off I was super curious to see who he would end up with. Never would I have imagine him partnered off with a witch and for them to be fulfilling a prophecy that would unite the witches and shifters. Camden and Selene have an instant attraction and waste no time in acting on it. Rochelle yet again delivered some hot as hell sex scenes intertwined with a plot that was hard to put down.

As sad as it is to see all the brother’s mated off I am desperately hoping that Carrick, the unmated family patriarch, gets his own story. After all these books I feel so sad for him and all he has been through. If you are a fan of paranormal (and even if you are new to it and looking for a great place to start) I highly recommend this series. Fun, steamy and action packed you won’t be let down.

HUDSON FINDS HER

Living job to job, haunted by his own set of demons, Hudson Rivers finds himself disarmed by a single glance and he vows to protect the shell of a woman hiding in his closet. But protecting her means keeping her close and that threatens the emotionless life he’s been careful to create for himself.

They both fight their growing connection…

Will they find themselves lost into a world of silence, afraid to let one another in?

Or will they submit to the power of fate and all that it throws at them?

 

***WARNING*** This book is intended for readers 18 years and older, it contains dark themes, explicit language and sexual content. 

 

 

“Don’t go,” I wish I could say more but my mind and my mouth failed me, trapping me in a loop, like a broken record.

“My name, precious. Say my name,” he breathes in deeply and steps toward me. I’m stunned, his eyes are smoldering, setting fire to my skin with only a glance.

“Hudson,” I whisper softly, his body shivers as his name passes from my lips.

“Louder,” he commands, taking another step forward, stalking me like a predator after his prey. Each slow step is agony.

“Hudson,” my voice louder and more confident, my body grows warmer, filling me with anticipation.

“Again.”

“Hudson,” I breathe, loving the way it naturally rolls off my tongue. His large body stops mere inches from mine, electricity crackles between us.

His hand reaches for my hip, pulling me into him. I tremble, finding the heat of his body hypnotic. My arms wind around his waist and I look up at him, my breath caught in my chest. He lifts his other hand to my cheek and caresses it.

“Do you know how long I’ve waited to hear you say my name?” His fingers touch under my chin, lifting my face higher still. “Almost as long as I’ve wanted to do this.”

Hudson’s lips touch mine before I can blink and it’s blissful. His lips are soft against mine but they demand a response. I lift up onto my toes, pressing more firmly into him. I’ve never been kissed like this but then I’ve never wanted to be kissed this badly before.

My mouth moves against his, opening to him. He controls the intensity, licking and nipping at my lips before plunging his tongue into my mouth, invading my senses completely. I lean into him, as my body tingles with need, seeking pleasure in his lips.

I moan into his mouth, electricity tingles throughout my limbs, setting every nerve into overdrive. My thighs tighten, as the tingling intensifies at my cleft.

Oh my God…

Never felt anything like this, my mind screams and my body shudders. I resist the urge to wrap my legs around him and lose myself completely to him. He’s the first man to ever make me feel how I thought a woman should feel when being kissing. It was life changing.
