Synopsis

**Standalone novel**

Mirror, mirror … who’s the fairest of them all?

I still cringe when I hear that line. A fairy tale that had girls pretending they were the fairest, the most beautiful, and the most entitled. A fairy tale most couldn’t grow out of turned my haunted childhood memories into a living nightmare. Girls who grew up believing that pile of garbage became the meanest of all ‘mean girls.’

And those mean girls were right – it was a line meant for all the beautiful people in the world – and I knew the answer would never be me.

The women with long legs, flat stomachs, and perfect chests.

The type of women Kane Masters gravitated toward.

Well, that’s definitely not Willow Tate.

No. That will never be me.

Because I’m completely imperfect.

And … I hate myself.

I have no idea what Kane could possibly see in someone like me when he could have them.

 

Review

Ok, I was really super excited about reading this one from Harper Sloan.  It seemed different than the books that I have read in the past of hers and I have read them all.  So my initial reaction was to read the first couple of chapters and then check my goodreads again.  I kept thinking this is Harper Sloan, right?  Yep, I thought so but honestly this book just felt so incredibly different than her other books.  I mean that in the best possible way.  Harper’s writing has always been good but I feel like this book was written magnificently so I feel like this author has grown by leaps and bounds.  And it isn’t just the writing.  It is the story.  The amazingly emotionally intense story that was just so mature and wise.  I go to Harper for crazy alphas with heart, suspense, and steamy sex typically but this one was so much more and I just felt so proud of this author.  I mean, I have been reading her since Axel and Harper’s writing and story telling just keeps getting better and better and Perfectly Imperfect is a true testament to that.

‘I have nothing left to lose.  

Nowhere else to go but up.

It’s time to finally be the Willow I can love.

Even if no else can.’

Ahh, Willow’s story is really a very hard one.  As women I think we all struggle with body issues.  Skinny or fat we all have insecurities about our bodies and Harper does a fabulous job of addressing this issue so delicately, but also so very directly and head on.  I loved Willow.  I adored watching her grow and get better emotionally.  But most of all I loved watching her fall in love with Kane while falling in love with herself!

Typically,  I am not a fan of books where the hero or heroine are “a famous person”.  I just don’t dig it and even though Kane is a famous actor/director, the story wasn’t really about his being famous or his fandom so I wasn’t really bothered bit it.  And even though this story was so very powerful in its message it was still ridiculously sexy!  Whew, the hotness!

‘I’m a starved man, and you’re the meal I’ve been fantasizing about.”

I loved this book even though it was completely different than other books by this author.  Gorgeous cover, fabulous story, and meaningful heartfelt writing.  Pick it up now!

Title: Never Tied Down

Series: Never Duet #2

Author: Anie Michaels

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: December 29, 2015

I miss him. 

I miss Marcus. 

I miss Riot. 

I miss them. 

Pushing Riot away when Marcus died was an act of desperate self-preservation. I didn’t love him any less, didn’t blame him for Marcus’ death, but I couldn’t be with him and deal with the crushing weight of guilt that tore me down every single day. 

So, I moved on. Or tried to, anyway. 

Life, of course, pushed us back together. 

I still don’t know if I’m strong enough to keep myself away from him. Or if I even want to. 

Besides, something tells me life isn’t done trying to break me.

Anie Michaels is the author of The Never series, The Private Serials, and a stand alone novel, The Space Between Us. She started writing her first novel in June 2013. When she is not working, reading, writing, or spending time with her family, you can find her spending time with her close friends. Anie lives in Portland, Oregon, with her family.

“Let me first say wow just when you don’t think it can get any better anie has a way of blowing your mind. I absolutely loved meeting kalli through porter and Ella but reading her book was amazing.”~ Hooked on Books ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Never Standing Still Review

“Anie gets better every time I read her. Three series’ and I am hungering for more. Anie’s descriptions are spot on and pull you into the story. I delight in the twists and turns that she sticks in the story line.”~ Author Taisheena Rayne ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Never Standing Still Review

“There is so much emotion that will be pulled and picked at from reading this book. Every time you think you know, like the know it all readers we are, we’re are proven wrong…… I honestly have no idea how or where Anie is going to go with the conclusion of Kalli and Riot’s story and that makes me nervous but I need it like now.” ~Red Cheeks Reads ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Never Standing Still Review

Cursed Vengeance by Brandy L. Rivers and Rebecca Brooke Review

Synopsis

Sierra prefers to avoid the Pine Barrens—the folklore and myths always left her uneasy. Which only grows worse when she runs into a man, and her first instinct is to help. The stranger tests her patience before disappearing and she can’t shake the instant, shocking attraction.

One chance meeting deep in the woods and Dylan is lost. The woman with red hair and blue eyes tempts his most primal nature to claim something he’s never wanted. As a male of his pack, destined to die on his thirty-fifth birthday, he does not want to claim anyone. Not unless they can find an answer to a fifty year old curse.

Sierra learns things aren’t always as they seem. Her brother and his best friend Dylan are werewolves with limited time and they believe she may be the key to breaking the curse. Dylan will do everything he can to convince her werewolves aren’t simply a nightmare lurking in the pines. They need her help to break the curse and save their pack.

But first, she has to accept a birthright she doesn’t believe in…

Review

Even though I have now read more than a handful of Paranormal reads I still consider myself to be a para newbie, that probably has to do with how different and unique each para world is. Cursed Vengeance is an excellent book written by two authors who I love. Telling the tale of a witch (who doesn’t even know she is a witch) and a werewolf who happens to be her brothers best friend, it seamlessly blends the insta-love associated with shifter stories and the need for a deeper connection I expect from those like witches.

Sierra is racing the clock to help find a cure for a curse that is killing the men of her brother’s pack by their 35th birthday. Having just learned of it she has little to no time to save her brother and Dylan, the werewolf she just met and cannot get out of her head. Cursed Vengeance is a fast paced story that will have your heart racing and your mind constantly guessing. Full of twists and turns as well as an incredibly hot love story, Dylan and Sierra will having you falling in love and eager to try a few spells of your own.

I already knew I loved each of these authors individually and together they proved they can co-write an amazing book. I cannot wait for Sean’s story and to see what kind of out there trouble they can brew up next!

Sometimes your only choice is the one you’d rather not make. Pushed to the limit, the tainted love of Logan and Elle is in jeopardy. With outside forces driving a wedge between them, they have to dig deep within their souls to release the ghosts of their pasts, and fight even harder for what neither knew they needed—each other.

Excerpt

Elle Sterling

The coolness of the night air had begun to set in. With the suddenly harsher wind, Lindsay and I both felt the chill and even in our heels, we hastened our pace.

As soon as we walked into the hotel suite, I was assaulted by the tang of a sticky, sweet scent. It was the smell of pot. Never one to try it myself, in my travels I’d come across many people who had. Moldy grass was how I’d always described the smell.

Lindsay shot me a glance and confirmed my suspicion.

Hard rock blared through the open space. The patio doors were open and I saw the back of two heads flopped on the lounge chairs. Even over the music, I heard laughter rumbling into the room. I was glad that at least Logan was upbeat.

Lindsay started for them and looked at me. “Shhh.”

I followed, keeping my mouth shut.

We both approached, eager to see our men, but stopped at the edge of door to watch them. They were playing cards and a baggie of pot was on the floor.

James had changed and was now wearing sleep pants and a T-shirt. He had a cigar gripped between his teeth while he tossed two piles of cards onto the table between them.

Logan was still in his suit pants but had removed everything else. Everything. Outside in his pants only, I wondered how he wasn’t freezing until I looked up and saw the heat lamps were on.

“Baby, you’re going to stink,” Lindsay said loudly, breaking the silence.

Both men jerked their heads back.

The smile that spread across Logan’s face was slow and seductive.

Sexy.

The sight of him dried my throat and made my heart pound. Right then I didn’t care about anything but comforting him through kisses.

Lindsay was still talking, saying something about the rancid smell of the cigar.

Me, I was already leaning over Logan and placing my lips very close to his. “Are you okay?”

“I am now.”

“You sure?”

He nodded and said, “Don’t listen to James. He likes to be a drama queen.”

“I heard that.”

Ignoring James, Logan gave me a single tug and pulled me onto his lap. I found myself provocatively straddling him. His cards fell to the floor, but I heard no one complain. And then his hands anchored my hips as his mouth attacked mine, while my hands gripped his shoulders for support.

“Where are your clothes?” I managed to ask.

The corners of his lips tilted up. “We had a small wrestling match and my shirt took the brunt of the action.”

I laughed.

Boys will be boys.

My dress had ridden up and if anyone was looking, they could see my panties. I just didn’t care enough right then to see what James and Lindsay were doing.

I should have cared. I should have cared just how inebriated or high Logan was. I should have, but his primal response to my presence did something to me that made me want to be what he needed. Made me want to be wild and free for once in my entire life.

Maybe it was the Lindsay effect.

His kiss traveled from the corner of my mouth, along my jaw, to my throat.

My hands moved higher to toy with his hair behind his neck.

His teeth were sharp as they skidded across my skin, but the soft heat from his tongue soothed the burn.

I turned my head to give him full access, and that was when I saw Lindsay’s head moving towards James’s lap.

Again, I should have cared, but I just didn’t.

I wasn’t sure if Logan noticed, but he turned my chin to look at him. “We should go home,” he slurred. The way his eyes flickered over me so intensely made the idea of waiting for a cab and then riding home in one seem like it would take a lifetime.

With my hands flat on his bare chest, I found myself scooting up his body, stopping only when the soft fabric of my wet panties aligned perfectly with the tented fabric of his slacks. “I want you now,” I whispered.

Logan’s tongue flicked out to wet his lips. “I’m drunk, probably not the best idea.”

I raised myself ever so slightly and lowered my body, making the most exquisite contact with his erection. “I’m not and you seem just fine.”

His hand stroked my hair and pulled out the clip holding it up. “You want this? Here?”

My breath was wild. My nipples taut. My clit was pulsing. I realized I was excited. “Yes, I want you to take me here.”

His gaze slid to the side and so did mine. James was thrusting into Lindsay’s mouth. “James!” Logan shouted.

A grunt was his only reply.

“Hurry up and get the fuck inside, will you.”

Again, a grunt was his response.

Logan’s attention back on me, his hands threaded through my hair and slid over my shoulders and down my arms to capture my hands. He pressed our palms together so that our fingers were linked and drew in a shuddering breath. “You’re so beautiful. You know that?”

“I love you.” I’m not sure why I felt compelled to tell him that, but the way he looked at me when I did made me feel like we’d both found true love in each other, and all the worries that messed with my thoughts evaporated as his gaze flared. All that mattered was him. Comforting him. Getting him through this. Being here—for him.

He brought me to him with a hand to the back of my head, holding me in place while he kissed me breathless, maybe hard enough that he might have bruised my mouth.

Again, I didn’t care.

The kiss went on and on and when he finally pulled away, I hadn’t had nearly enough of him. It was when my eyes fell to the bag of joints on the ground that I realized Logan did not taste of thyme or moldy grass or smell like skunk, and I was a little glad that he hadn’t gotten high. I had a feeling he had struggled with drugs during his life and with my own father being an alcoholic, I was all too familiar with the claim that addictive habits were hereditary.

Another sideways glance on his part had my gaze following. “Finally,” he muttered. The lounge beside us was now empty, as was the living area. James and Lindsay must have gone into the bedroom. Logan must have been waiting for them to leave.

Knowing we were alone, lust won out over good sense and I stood and stripped myself naked.

Logan drew in a shuddering breath and stood as well, shedding his pants and underwear quickly.

I stared at him, naked and beautiful, and licked my lips. That card I’d seen in the store came to mind. Just because my issues might never allow me to be submissive didn’t mean I couldn’t be the dominant type.

He held out his hand for me to take it and instead I pointed to a chair next to the lounger. “Sit down.”

“Don’t you want to go inside?” he asked.

I shook my head. “No, sit down.”

He raised a brow.

I kept my finger pointed.

No one could see us up this high and with the heat lamps on, something about fucking outside felt incredibly erotic.

A slow, seductive smile spread across his lips, and as he sat his eyes looked like dark flames. The hazel was gone, replaced by dilated pupils that bled pure lust.

Since I was already drenched, he easily slid inside me as I sat on his cock.

The sensation of him filling me made me shout out, and Logan wasn’t exactly quiet himself. I heard pleasurable groans escape his throat.

This was what we both needed.

Each other.

I just hoped it would be like this forever.

My hands were not bound but they gripped the chair, my back was to his chest, and my legs were spread wide. I was open to him. Fully and completely open to him. In this position, I was his to do with whatever he pleased.

It was then I realized that in our relationship we didn’t need a dominant or a submissive. We only needed each other.

And as his palm found my breast and his fingers pressed against my clit, I closed my eyes and relished what I had with him.

For us…give and take was all we needed.

Synopsis

Logan McPherson and Elle Sterling continue to thrill in this powerful conclusion to their tantalizing, provocative, and unexpected sizzling romance that began in Blow.

The danger isn’t over.

But when the past and the present collide, emotions run high—things are said, lines are crossed, and rules are broken. Both focused on crushing the enemy, the retribution is almost too much to bear.

Review

 

We are thrown back int the whirlwind of Logan and Elle’s love life. Elle has been threatened by Logan’s nemesis and Logan will do anything to protect her while also battling the mob, drug rings and death itself so they can remain together. But maybe this time the only way for them both to be safe is to walk away….does true love really conquer all?

“Was everything that was falling apart around us fate telling me I should have known better than to think we could belong to each other?”

You must read Blow before this as it picks up straight from the ending of Blow. We don’t get a second to breathe and are thrown straight back into this raw, passionate, suspenseful and sexy story of Logan and Elle.  Logan still remains the protective, strong, dangerous and sexy man we came to love in Blow. And Elle is a female lead we cheer for; she’s determined, brave, and loves with a fierceness that makes you believe it will never die.

“In that moment there was nothing more I wanted than to feel her arms around me, press my body to hers, look into her eyes and tell her we were going to be just fine. But that would be a lie.”

There’s passion, suspense, drama, sex, love, sadness…everything you need to make this a read that you won’t be able to put down. Not only do Logan and Elle have to battle wars created in Blow but more obstacles are thrown their way that could cripple the relationship that both of them so desperately want and deserve.

“Somewhere deep in the fiery pit of my soul, I doubted it was really her. I feared that because I was a sinner, my punishment was going to be losing her. Absolution. Redemption. I vowed to seek both.”

Kim creates a world that is extreme and yet believable at the same time. She has created characters who burrow themselves into your heart until you feel their pain and their love. The plot doesn’t let you take a breathe until the very last page and even then you will be left wanting more.

Staying on Course is very much a story that continues on after the final curtain has fallen of the previous book and how our stunning couple came to be; it ended with a happy-for-now so Staying on Course guides us deeper into their relationship and all the intricacies that can either corrode the connection or prove just how solid and unique their love is.  It’s serious, relatable, mature and above all else realistic in its portrayal of a loving relationship and the woes and struggles that mar even the most perfect of couples and for Devon and Bryce, the winding and complicated road to a happily ever after, has a few more obstacles obstructing the way than your average romance but this is what takes it from a cute and sweet romance and elevates it up to quirky, emotional, dramatic and coasting towards epic.

‘“I’ve been in love with Devon Harris since the day I laid eyes on her.  She’s the most beautiful thing in my world, probably always has been.  You call her a girl, and that’s fine because she’s my girl.  But she’s also all woman, and I am lucky to be linked to her.  If there’s anything I need, it will come from her because she’s my everything.”’

Staying On Course has a fantastic array of characters  but somehow it’s always the ones that you love to hate that become imprinted on your mind and Ahren is superb at creating these manipulative, emotionally vampiric she-devils that burst onto the page simply to create havoc and devastation and holy he!! is there a whopper of a bitch in this one.  Devon and Bryce’s pretty fresh relationship, although profound and incredibly meaningful still has to stand the test of long-distance careers, miscommunications and aforementioned scheming she-devils and it was so well written, with style and substance and intelligence that the entire book passes in the blink of an eye and you only realise you’re done when you stop to realise how emotionally strung out you are, which in this case is an awesome thing!  Highs and lows, frustrations and triumphs, dirty talking sex and sweetly whispered phone calls, it all bands together to deliver a brilliant story that will have you bawling, bitching and sighing in awe.  My only problem with the story was how Bryce handled a certain ‘situation’, I really wanted him to back Devon up a wee bit more with some much needed reassurance and affirmative action, especially considering how it all went down previously but he did make up tremendously for this shortcoming in the long run and we also got my favourite thing to read at the end of a great love story-an epilogue.

Excerpt:

My doorbell rang.

What?

I looked at the clock and realized it was already 7:30.

So that meant it was Beckett on the other side of the door.

Shit.

I looked down at my half-naked body.

Shit!

And then I started freaking out.

“I’ll be right there!” I yelled.

Should I let him in?

But I was practically naked!

I couldn’t let him see me like this!

Maybe I should own it. Shake my hips and let him get a look at the goods.

Like that would ever happen.

Crap, what was I going to wear?

I grabbed a pair of jeans from my floor and wiggled them on, not really paying attention to which ones they were.

I reached into my closet and pulled the closest shirt off the rack. I tied my hair into a ponytail and slipped on a comfortable pair of ballet flats.

I hoped Beckett hadn’t planned on five-star dining because I was dressed more for a McDonalds milkshake before hanging with the bowling league.

“Sorry,” I said, out of breath, opening the door and letting Beckett inside.

“I was starting to think I needed to break in and make sure you hadn’t gotten stuck in the toilet or something.” Beckett looked damn near perfect in a dark pair of jeans and button-up blue shirt the same color as his eyes.

He had even gotten a haircut. Way to make me feel like a total underachiever in the getting ready department, buddy.

“Looks like you cut yourself,” I said, indicating the piece of toilet paper stuck to his chin.

“Fuck. I forgot about that,” he muttered, pulling it off, looking embarrassed.

“You should have left it there. It’s cute,” I teased, putting on my black wool coat.

“You ready?” he asked.

“As I’ll ever be.” I gave him a wide smile and he laughed.

“I’m not taking you to your death by firing squad. You could act a bit more excited.”

I jumped up and down, clapping my hands together. “OMG, Beck! I can’t wait!” I gasped.

“Is that better?” I asked, closing my apartment door behind me and locking it.

“Much.” Beckett leaned down and I swear he was checking out my ass.

“Excuse me, but what in the hell are you doing?” I demanded.

“Are you aware that the Cheshire cat is on your right butt cheek?”

I craned my body to get a look at what he was talking about. And sure enough, there was a bright purple patch with the damn Cheshire cat on my derriere.

“I must have picked up the wrong jeans,” I groaned. These were my hanging-out-doing-laundry jeans. Not meant to be seen by anyone but myself and the cat.

“I was in a rush. I couldn’t figure out what to wear. It was stressful,” I tried to explain, pulling my coat down over my feline-covered bum.

“The last thing I want is to stress you out, Cor-Cor.”

I smacked his arm. “I thought I warned you about using that damn nickname,” I threatened.

“I show up with toilet paper stuck to my face and you have a cat on your butt. I think we make a pretty awesome pair,” Beckett snickered, unlocking his car.
