Screwed by Kendall Ryan Review
4 Smooches!
Synopsis
I have one rule: Don’t shit where you eat.
Several of the women in the condo complex I own would love some one-on-one playtime, and why wouldn’t they? I’m young, fit, attractive, and loaded. Not to mention I’m packing a sizable bulge below the belt. It’s a combination that drops panties on a regular basis.
Yay, me, right?
But my cock, troublemaker that he is, has been confined to my trousers by my business partner. A concession I agreed to, and one that’s never been hard to enforce until Emery moves in across the hall. She’s smart, young, determined, and sexy as hell. I want a taste. I won’t stop until I’m buried deep inside the succulent new-in-town brunette.
After being warned about my past, she does her best to steer clear, but I’m about to show her that underneath it all, I’m a guy with a heart of gold and a cock of steel.
My name is Hayden Oliver, and this is my story.
SCREWED is standalone romantic comedy by New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Kendall Ryan.
Review
I love me a good Kendall Ryan fun read and that is exactly what Screwed is. I didn’t really read the synopsis before checking this book out, well, because I trust Kendall to give me what I need. So, I was pleasantly surprised that this book was damned hilarious!
“You fucked and then left before their pussies were even dry.”
So very crass but so funny too. See, Hayden Oliver has been warned by his friend and business partner to quit sleeping with their willing female tenants. It is bad for business and some of them hold a very horrible grudge. Hayden agrees and instead befriends Emery, his newest tenant, even though he wants her like mad.
‘Shit. Have I just been rambling on about how much I love pussy?’
The sparks fly between these two and the snarkiness back and forth was just amazing. The sexual tension is off the charts and somehow this all channels to complete shenanigans and funny times.
“Blow jobs are my spirit animal.”
If you are a fan of sexy and funny text back and forth between the hero and heroine, then this one will definitely check all of your boxes. I happen to love that in my romance novels. I can always count on Kendall for a good read. Whether, sexy and dark or a funny romcom, she never lets me down.

EXCERPT
My brow pinched, because this fucking hurt. Hurt that Shea had been resisting confiding in me because of who I was. A fucking loose cannon. Someone prone to violence. And there it was, right beneath the surface, fire flaming and licking and begging for release.
My voice was tight. “Made you a promise I’d protect you, Shea. Live for you. And that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. You and Kallie? You’re my life. My everything. And I will do anything…give up anything…to make sure you two are together. I won’t let him win.”
She brushed the back of her hand over the wetness on her cheeks. “He will do anything to break us apart…to separate us. He knows we’re weaker alone. All his words about taking us down at the same time?”
Her head shook with bitterness and hate, something so foreign on my girl’s face, but I saw it there—the atrocities he’d committed—the things she still kept inside.
The scars she wore on her heart while I wore mine on my skin.
“It’s a tactic. A ploy. He thinks he can fill us with threats. Convince our subconscious into believing together we’re easy targets. But, no.” Her eyes drew together as she refuted the idea, as she spilled her own belief. “He’s a coward. A coward. Someone who allows others to carry out his crimes and then lords it over them as if he is the one exerting control.”
That brave chin quivered. “I gave him my submission for so long, and I refuse to ever be that girl again. I was her, Sebastian. I was weak.”
Strength filled the profession. “But I’m not weak anymore. And I’m even stronger with you by my side.”
Raw.
Bold.
Courageous.
“Promise me you won’t let him provoke you, Sebastian. He knows exactly how to ruin people. He finds their weaknesses. He knows Kallie is mine. And he knows the two of us are yours.”
I swallowed hard. “I promise, baby.”
I promise.

Drowning to Breathe is Book 2 in Sebastian and Shea’s two-part duet. Their story begins in A Stone in the Sea.
Review
Drowning to Breathe is the amazing, intense and suspenseful conclusion to Shea and Sebastian’s dramatic love story. If a Stone in the Sea was setting the scene and hosting the complications for two lost souls to find each other and fall in love, then Drowning to Breathe is the cataclysmic force that tests how deep and unfathomable their love for one another actually is as more secrets are uncovered and past sins collide with the uncertainty of the future bringing together one of the best written stories I’ve read recently with a set of completely mesmerising characters whether they were Baz and Shea, the rest of the guys in the band or the ultimate book villain, A.L Jackson is a superb story teller.
‘I swallowed hard. “You want to know what I see when I look at you?” When the intensity in my voice hit her, Shea choked out a tiny sob. I took one step closer as I began to speak. “I see someone who’s so fucking sweet and kind that every time I look at her it just about knocks me from my feet, because I’ve had so much bad in my life I don’t know how to stand in her presence. I see someone who I know I don’t deserve, so every time I turn around, I’m runnin’ scared because I’m terrified of ruining everything she is.”’
Sebastian and Shea are a stunning couple, the connection and love and understanding they have for each other really makes this whole saga shine that little bit brighter but it’s also A.L Jackson’s ability to give her characters strong voices, a dialogue that would make Nora Roberts jealous and a plot that keeps momentum, delivering enough tragedy, drama and intrigue through the romance and deliciously hot sex scenes to keep each reader waiting with bated breath for the next sentence.
Drowning to Breathe is poetry in motion, it seems to me that A.L Jackson just gets better and better with every book she releases. She knows her players inside and out and manages to stay true to their natures, showcasing not only their immense strengths but also the flaws and ugly naked truths that haunt them but it’s through their love, strength and adoration for each other that this band of misfits have an unconventional family in each other and Sebastian and Shea and the lovely Kallie find a home together. This is a terrific series and I’m especially excited for Lyrik’s story next.

Dark Wild Night by Christina Lauren Review
5 Smooches
Synopsis
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
But what didn’t happen in Vegas seems to follow them everywhere.
Lola and Oliver like to congratulate themselves on having the good sense to not consummate their drunken Las Vegas wedding. If they’d doubled-down on that mistake, their Just Friends situation might not be half as great as it is now.
… Or so goes the official line.
In reality, Lola’s wanted Oliver since day one—and over time has only fallen harder for his sexy Aussie accent and easygoing ability to take her as she comes. More at home in her studio than in baring herself to people, Lola’s instinctive comfort around Oliver nearly seems too good to be true. So why ruin a good thing?
Even as geek girls fawn over him, Oliver can’t get his mind off what he didn’t do with Lola when he had the chance. He knows what he wants with her now … and it’s far outside the friend zone. When Lola’s graphic novel starts getting national acclaim—and is then fast-tracked for a major motion picture—Oliver steps up to be there for her whenever she needs him. After all, she’s not the kind of girl who likes all that attention, but maybe she’s the kind who’ll eventually like him.
Sometimes seeing what’s right in front of us takes a great leap of faith. And sometimes a dark wild night in Vegas isn’t just the end of a day, but the beginning of a bright new life…
Review
“Oliver is both my former husband and current crush, but it will forever remain unrequited”
I anticipate reading a Christina Lauren book like no other. When one arrives I quickly put aside all my work and whatever I am reading and completely lose myself in their captivating story until I reach the very last page. Dark Wild Night was no different. From the moment I started reading I became engrossed in the tale of these attractive, fun and yet still dorky characters and the complicated but still overwhelmingly witty, sexy and entertaining story they had for me.
“This all feels so sudden . . . but at the same time it seems I’ve waited an eternity for this. “
It all started in Vegas. How many great stories could we tell with just those words. Lola and Oliver was the love story that wasn’t from that fateful weekend that then resulted in the pairing of four of their friends. Drunkingly married and then quickly divorced Lola and Oliver soon formed a deep friendship based similar interest and a mutual respect for working hard to fulfill their destiny. Each has all their focus on their careers that they do not even have a moment to think about the desires they have formed out of their friendship. But the more time they spend together the harder and harder just being friends is becoming.
“Cock.
COCK.
It’s all I can see. It’s there beneath his boxers, half-hard, obviously uncut, following the line of his hip. My God, it’s thick. And if Oliver is a grow’er, he could knock a woman’s teeth out when he fucks her. “
Always hilarious and supremely sexy, Christina Lauren’s books have an element about them that I feel others just cannot replicate. Somehow you so quickly become in love with their characters and the pure fun wit that you don’t even see the drama building until you are at that point of no return. The point where your heart is breaking and all you want is for them to all come to their senses and work through their difficulties so they can have amazing sex once again.
“I am not okay. I’m drowning in what I feel for him. “
Lola thrives on stability and changes can seem overwhelming and scary. I understood her, I feel like I am her. Moving from friends to lovers changes everything and at a time where her comic is becoming a movie and her whole life is turned upside down. I could have a panic attack just thinking about all that then add that entering into a sexual relationship with your best friend, Lola doesn’t always make the “right” choice but I feel like she makes decisions that fit her as a character. Now, lets talk Oliver, oh my sexy, nerdy, cut and hot in glasses comic book store owner man! I loved him beyond words. Patient and sweet I easily fell for him and add that he was dirty talker in the bedroom and I was begging for more. He was everything I want in a book boyfriend. When Lola is scared he is there for her but never just rolls over and lets her run scared.
“The last eight months have been the slowest, most torturous foreplay, and there’s a fever beneath my skin that makes me impatient, “
Lola and Oliver had this real and geeky quality about them but what I loved the most were their flaws. They both felt all too real too me. So much of Lola I see in myself both the good and the bad. Plus, she has great taste in men, this coming from someone who married her won nerdy man in glasses. Her story gives me hope and by the end I felt like my heart was signing a happy song. Dark Wild Night is yet another hit for Christina Lauren. This is easily a book I can see myself reading again and again.

Blurb:
Aidan
Of course it was never going to be perfect.
Of course it was always going to be wrong.
When Essie Floyd snuck out of his apartment in the early hours of the morning, Aidan Callahan pretended he was still out cold. The truth was he’d never even fallen asleep. How could he, when the girl he should never have developed feelings for, a girl he never thought he’d get, was finally lying in his arms?
It was obvious she was going to run.
Ever since she walked into his office, she’s playing games.
Now only one question remains:
Will she stop playing long enough to realize this thing between them is real?
ESSIE
How could she do it?
How could she enjoy it?
Guilt is a wicked thing. It will never leave Essie be. It’s not the intense, incredible sex that’s tearing her apart, though. Sex has always been a weapon, a tool, something to be used as and when necessary. No, it’s not the sex.
It’s how she felt when Aidan was inside her. How she felt when he kissed her so deeply. How safe she felt when she woke in his arms.
Her wretched heart has betrayed her, and not only that. It’s betrayed her brother, too. Now, the only way to make amends is to focus on her original plan:
She must break Aidan Callahan at all costs. If she doesn’t, she’ll never be able to forgive herself.

He was the dream I never knew I had until he claimed me. The kinky billionaire who wanted to give pain as much as I wanted to receive it. He’d marked me as his own and I accepted him. I trust him completely. I swear I do.
But, now things are getting complicated. I have a career, and he has his claim. How far is he going to go to mark me? And am I going to run or stay?

Meet CD Reiss!
CD Reiss is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets.
Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did embed TV story structure in her head well enough for her to take a big risk on a TV series structured erotic series called Songs of Submission. It’s about a kinky billionaire hung up on his ex-wife, an ingenue singer with a wisecracking mouth; art, music and sin in the city of Los Angeles.
Critics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to give the toilets a once-over every couple of weeks or chop a cord of wood.
If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

Lust and love fought for dominance in his expression when he tore himself away, and he slammed my door shut and ran around to his side. I didn’t hesitate to shift in my seat, my hand going to the flat, rigid planes of his abdomen as he shifted hard, tires squealing as he took to the street. I kissed at his neck and teased at his ear, fingers toying with the waistband of his jeans, while he groaned and tried to focus on the road.
“You tryin’ to kill me, Shea?”
I gasped when the car jerked and Sebastian made a sudden, sharp turn, and then another. He screeched to a stop on a deserted side street.
A fog of lust clouded my mind as I was yanked back onto his lap, my knees on either side of his legs, his needy cock grinding at the seam of my cut-off shorts as his mouth overtook mine.
Oh. God.
I moaned, fingers digging into his shoulders.
I arched up and pressed my breasts to his chest. They ached with just a glimmer of the need throbbing between my thighs.
Hot hands gripped the outside of my hips, forcing me back down on his dick that strained from his jeans.
I might have been on top, but he was definitely in control.
“Fuck, baby…what have you done to me…what have you done to me? Dying to be inside you. Have to feel you. Need you so bad.”
“You have me.”
