Escaping Destiny by Amelia Hutchins Blog Tour and Review

Escaping-Destiny-Banner
Title: Escaping Destiny ( The Fae Chronicles #3)
Author: Amelia Hutchins
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Publication: February 17, 2014
I thought things couldn’t get worse. I was wrong.
I found out what I really wanted and was forced to give him up. Just as I found out who I really am, I was presented to the elusive Horde King as a gift.
This was the mystical being I was hidden from for more than twenty years.
Although Ryder promised to save me, I couldn’t let him get near this creature, so I willingly (sort of) signed myself over to be his new plaything.
Now in the Horde Realm, nothing is going remotely like I thought it would.
My powers and emotions are on the fritz, and each day seems to bring surprises that I am not sure how to deal with.
The Horde King thinks he has me exactly where he wants me.
He thinks he has taken all of my options away.
I still have choices.
Embracing what destiny has planned for me, or escaping it.

kis kis kis kis kis
I have been impatiently waiting for Escaping Destiny for forever, it feels like.  All of my waiting paid off because this book did not disappoint.  Syn, Ryder, and the whole gang are back and they are sexier than ever!  You know that Amelia loves to leave a sister hanging, so I was dying to know what the Horde King would do once he had Syn, and how she would get away.  I do not do spoilers at all, so I won’t tell you what happens, but I will tell you that I totally knew it was going to happen!
This book, just like the previous of this series, was action packed, and I loved every minute of it.  Syn is coming into her own and getting more and more bad ass.  Ryder is still his usual egotistical self, but I really felt this was the first book in the series. that he shows his love for Synthia and it made me heart Ryder even more.  And his BEAST!  Ahhhhhh!  He makes a big debut in this book and, let me tell you, it was smoking hot!  Whew!  Let me also, give a shout out to a certain demon that managed to really steal my heart this book!  Smooches, Ristan!
This third book revealed so many secrets and a lot of things are coming together.  Escaping Destiny is not the conclusion of this amazing series.  The end of this book is the beginning of a war.  I cannot wait to see what happens next.  Phenomenal read again, Ms. Hutchins!

Synopsis

Reed Software and Securities Company: A publically traded tech company with a hidden agenda. They are hired to take on some of the most difficult covert operations and contracts the government won’t acknowledge. As the new CEO and face of Reed Software and Securities Company, Jacob Reed has been trying to get out of the family business as a covert operator. Lately he’s been fantasizing about settling down, living a normal life away from the paparazzi, guns, and drug lords. Katie Wilson loves her job as a broadcast journalist for Channel 10 news. She is just beginning to explore her career when she gets the lead on a new story that could blow up an international sex trafficking operation. When their jobs force their paths to explosively collide, Katie is caught in the crossfire and has no memory of that night. A year will pass before fate seemingly draws them together and he saves her a second time. Now that Jacob has unknowingly brought Katie into his world, she’s become a target for danger from an unknown source… and this time he refuses to let her go at all costs.

Review

A great romantic suspense story with a captivating plot and characters that were easily likeable and interesting to read about.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I love to settle down to a book which has romance, passion, suspense, and a certain mystery to it when it comes to which way the book is going to go and what is going to happen next and this story had all of this.

Firstly the characters were great.
Katie was strong, feisty, sweet and a character I could easily relate to and feel for. She seems very unlucky with everything that happens to her but she is always moving forward and continuing to live her life no matter what is thrown at her. She is a strong female lead who is easy to like.

Jacob was beyond adorable. He had alpha male elements definitely but I couldn’t stop thinking that he was just so sweet and protective. I loved that he played no games when it came to what he felt for Katie, he was perfectly happy making his feelings clear to his teammates and brother even knowing they would disagree.

I did however have a hard time with Jacob’s brother Eli. I really didn’t like him through most of the book, he seemed mean and a bit of a bully when it came to telling Jacob what to do but then right near the end we seemed to see a slightly different side to him and if this continues in the next book then I could see myself liking his character a lot more.
Oh and I have to mention Hauk!! I love when animals are including within a story and Hauk was the best dog! Hopefully he continues to have a part in the next book.

The plot was captivating. It had a good pace, when the suspense slowed down a bit we had passion and their relationship to read about and then it would pick up with Katie getting in horrible situations. And throughout the whole book I kept wanting to know what happened that night in the warehouse and who was causing Katie all the problems, so overall the story definitely kept me hooked and interested the whole way through.

We don’t really get many answers to a lot of the questions in this first book, but it didn’t bother me as much as it has done with previous stories because there was plenty happening that kept me reading.

I can’t wait to read the next book now to find out what is happening, who is behind everything that is going on and where Katie and Jacob’s relationship is going (especially after what her and Jacob talk about in the epilogue!)

Very Wicked Things

Book 2 of the Briarcrest Academy Series

A new adult romance from bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills

Release Date May 13, 2014

Synopsis:

Born on the poor side of town…

Ballerina Dovey Beckham is a scholarship student at Briarcrest Academy, determined to prove she’s more than just a girl with the wrong pedigree. She does whatever it takes to succeed in her endgame, even if it means surrendering her body…but never her heart.

Until the day she meets him, and he rips apart all her well-laid plans. Suddenly, the girl everyone thought unbreakable might just shatter.

Born into wealth and privilege…

Cuba “Hollywood” Hudson is rich, spoiled, and a star football player. With his fast cars and superficial girlfriends, he lives the high-life, hiding his secrets from the world.

Until the day he meets her, and she offers him something he’s never tasted…love.

But once in a lifetime kind of love doesn’t come easy. When trust crumbles and doubts creep in, both will have to decide to either love or let go…forever.

Welcome to Briarcrest Academy, where sometimes, only the wicked survive.

Excerpt:

Cuba’s POV

Not exactly a meet-cute…

The room closed in, making me sweat. I hadn’t talked to her in over a year, and now here we were, face-to-face. Two ex-lovers who hated each other.

I had to get away from her.

Dovey tilted her head as I stood, giving me a scathing glare. “Leaving so soon? Yeah, go ahead, cut and run. Coward.”

I ignored her and tried to get Weinstein’s attention, to let her know she could flunk me for all I cared.

“Before you go, tell me one thing, and I’ll make sure we aren’t partners in this class. You’ll be free of me,” she said.

“What?” I asked, my voice going all raspy, blocking all the words I wanted to say. They weren’t things she ever needed to hear.

“Why so cruel to me? You aren’t to the other girls you date and dump. Why single me out?”

I seethed. “And it didn’t take you long to find someone else, now did it? How is Spider? Does he get you hot like I did?”

She smirked. “He’s fine. He thinks I hung the moon. He thinks you’re an ass. I agree.”

I tightened my fists and pressed them against my thighs, swearing to myself I wasn’t responding to her bait. I swore. She was a dangerous game I didn’t need to play.

Suddenly, her face fell. Was she recalling the last time we were together? Was she remembering how I used to…

“I trusted you,” she whispered, all her anger seeming to be gone. The unsteadiness of her voice undid me, sent me right over the edge of that precarious cliff I’d been hanging on to by the skin of my teeth.

Yeah, she hadn’t been the only one who’d trusted me. I’d ruined them all. Every last one. Dark thoughts assaulted me, of the blood I had on my hands.

Snap! My pencil broke and small pieces flew across my desk and into the empty space between us.

I wanted to pummel my desk until my fists bled. I wanted to punch a hole through the wall, the floor, my face.

Everything was my fault. Just mine.

She’d been collateral damage, the kind that breaks everyone involved. And I was sorry for it, but sometimes you do what hurts because it’s for the best.

But she was my kryptonite, leaving me no option but to hurt her. Again.

I didn’t think about my cruel words, I just said them. “You were a curiosity, Dovey. You weren’t the usual BA girl, and I wanted a taste. That’s all. I moved on when it got boring. Get over it.”

Author Bio:

Ilsa Madden-Mills is a loving wife and mother, a loyal friend, and a teacher. When all that is done, she writes. Obsessively.

She spent several years teaching high school English, but now hangs out at home with two small kids, a neurotic cat, and her Viking husband. She collects magnets and rarely cooks except to bake her own pretzels.

When she’s not typing away at a story, you can find her drinking too much Diet Coke, jamming out to Pink, or checking on her carefully maintained chocolate stash.

She loves to hear from fans and fellow authors.

Very Wicked Things is Book 2 of the BA Series.

Very Bad Things is currently available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iBooks.

4 Smooches!

kis kis kis kis

Synopsis

Becca Campbell is a mother, friend, and widow to a war hero (may he rot in hell). She just wants to raise her daughter right and keep her bed-and-breakfast afloat in this economy. Her traumatic past leaves her with no desire for a relationship—until Grayson James walks through her door. He’s not the type of man you can easily say “no” to. Becca can’t quite understand the pull she feels toward him. But then his controlling nature starts to push her away—and into Ray McNeil’s comforting arms. Which is right where Ray has always wanted her.

Who will Becca choose?

Will she finally give in to her feelings for Ray, or continue the tumultuous relationship with Grayson? Only one thing is certain—either choice will mean saying goodbye to caution.

Warning: This book contains some disturbing situations, dubious consent, strong language and violence.

10% of the proceeds from this book will be donated to YWCAUSA.org to help abused women and children.

Review

It was refreshing and a pleasant surprise to read a story about characters who were adults and therefore aware of what they wanted (in a sense, as if the characters always knew exactly what they wanted there probably wouldn’t be much of a story to be told) and who weren’t so naive in their personalities.

Becca was a wonderful character, she was quirky, strong, funny and a lovely and caring mother. She definitely annoyed me at times with the decisions she made and her thought process but the fact I was invested enough to get annoyed at a character is always proof to me that the character has got to me and is someone I am enjoying reading about.

Grayson was a character I had trouble with because there were some aspects I liked about him and others I didn’t. There’s no argument that he was sexy and an alpha male but he was sometimes too possessive and jealous and calling a women he is meant to love a whore takes jealous boyfriend a little too far for me. I was able to move past this though as this was obviously a story about a turbulent relationship so heated arguments are definitely expected.

The plot itself was fast-paced, there was a lot of drama. The constant back and forth arguing between Becca and Grayson did get a little irritating but there was plenty happening within the story that I never became bored and I was 100% hooked, wondering what was going to happen next, if Grayson and Becca were ever going to sort things out and settle and what else was going to come along to mix up the plot.

A fast-paced story, packed full of drama, romance, and passion, with well developed characters means overall I give this book a solid 4 smooches!

Deviant by Callie Hart Review

20564453

Synopsis:

Sloane

I’m not proud of the things I’ve done.
The things I’ve had to do.
The things I’ve given away.
but I’d give it all over again to find her.

Even if i die trying,
I have to find Alexis.

Zeth

She wants me to help her,
But I won’t.
She wants me to save her sister,
But I can’t.
She wants me to be her hero,
But I’m not a good man.

I am her damnation.

Review

I am a very visual person. The covers of books and the teasers are what really grab my eye. If they are done well, I tend to purchase the book without really knowing much about it. Confession: that was the case with Deviant by Callie Hart.

The other night, in the middle of the morning as I was putting my daughter BACK to bed, I happened upon a super hot teaser for this book. It looked right up my alley. I thought to myself “Huh, well why haven’t I seen this before? It comes out in a few days…” So I immediately went to Callie’s Facebook page. I could instantly tell that she was a newbie to this scene! Only a few hundred likes and not the usual bombardment of promotional everything that I’m used to seeing. I got a really good vibe from what I saw and just knew that this was going to be a good one. Damn, I love it when I’m right!

zeth

Deviant is the story of Zeth and Sloane. Zeth is a bit of a wildcard. An asshat who likes to play dirty, both in life and in the dark. Sloane is an innocent who has been thrust into, probably her second worst nightmare, her sister has been taken. Through a complex series of events, these two meet and Sloane has to decide if she wants to take a walk on the wild side, literally, to hopefully find her sister.

sloane

This is a novella, which I actually loved! It was nice to sit down during an extended lunch and read a story that had you gripped from the first page! And let me tell you, the ending will knock your socks off! It is DAMN hot!!!

Sloane and Zeth fight against each other which only makes it extremely hot when they finally succumb to their feelings. I loved how the past was interspersed with the present. I loved how easy it was to read, and how enjoyable. I loved how it may appear as though it is something that you have read before, and yet it is still fresh and HOT.

scent

The senses were used beautifully in this story you could almost smell and hear exactly what Sloane was. To me, that is an added element to reading this genre that sets the story above others. If you can see, hear, smell and taste what is described, hmmm…poetry on paper.

I cannot wait for more of Zeth and Sloane! This is a MUST read new series. The elements of danger, lust and obedience have me reeling for more!

5 HUGE, Smacking SMOOCHES!!!!!

Synopsis

Welcome to Lindsey Point, Connecticut: suspicious of outsiders, loyal to tradition, and absolutely devoted to its local legends.

Enter Sophie Smithwaite, travel show host, in town to film an episode about Lindsey Point’s haunted lighthouse. But digging into the story of a tragic murder-suicide and love gone wrong reveals startling connections to Sophie’s own past. When a gorgeous local handyman fills in behind the camera, Sophie’s life gets complicated by more than just her family history.

Part-time paramedic, handyman, seasonal Santa… Lucas Oakes does it all–except get attached. He’s still reeling from the death of his best friend ten years ago and the more recent infidelity of his ex-fiancee. Yet despite Sophie’s big-city nosiness and her insistence on chasing long-dead ghosts, he’s drawn to her.

But mixing with an outsider means questioning people and traditions Lucas has always defended. When a series of attacks seem to be connected to Sophie’s investigation, both Sophie and Lucas must decide if they are willing to risk everything to uncover the town’s secrets…and their own.

CONTENT WARNING: Contains one barb-slinging travel show host, one hunky handyman who knows exactly how to use his tools, and a small town brimming with secrets .

Review

Beacon of love is a small town romance with a lot of mystery!

Sophie Smithwaite is a Travel show host who spends her time in small town after small town digging into their history. Never in a million years would she expect to find herself so intertwined in the story behind the mystery at Lindsay Point! Upon her arrival Sophie bumps into Lucas, a 6’7 town handyman/part time paramedic/all around good guy! But oh boy this small town hunk has some issues to work through!! Never the less, these two have some major chemistry and the sexual tension is off the charts!  As Sophie starts to discover more about the town of Lindsay Point it is very clear that there is more going on here than meets the eye. With ghost’s and murder, plane crashes and infidelity you are really kept guessing throughout this book. Beacon of Love was a little less steamy then I am used too and I did find myself disappointed after all the build-up between Sophie and Lucas only to have their sex scene be non-descriptive and fade to black. This book’s ending was left a little open ended but I do know it is a series so I look forward to reading more about this couple in upcoming books! Overall this was a great romantic mystery and I will definitely pick up the next book in the Hometown Hero’s series.

Synopsis

I am a Master.

You must know this fact to understand my story.

I capture women.

I break them down.

And I rebuild them.

If they are lucky, they are sold into the professional hands of another Master. If they are less fortunate, they are buried beneath the ground, never to be thought of again.

I lust for the control, I demand absolute submission and my body yearns to warp the minds of those I train.

Power is the only thing I’ll ever need and I am addicted to the feeling of ultimate control.

I am wealthy, good-looking, educated and charming.

And I am – in no way – a good man.

I do not want love.
I do not want kindness.

She thought she could change me by giving me the two things I knew I never wanted.

She was wrong.

Review

WTF, Lily White?!  Seriously, WTF?!  I am sitting here trying to think of words to describe how much I hated to love this book.  The whole thing was gut twisting and completely wackadoodle and I couldn’t put it down.  Even when I wanted to, I just couldn’t stop!  I am slightly disturbed that I found some of this book erotic. What does that say about me?  Oh god, someone help me.  I think this book traumatized me!

Lets start with crazy ass sadistic Aiden, shall we?  His character is awful.  He is a horrible, awful, demented, man with no redeeming qualities.  This is where the book really differed from other dark books, for me.  Usually, the dark men in these types of books are tortured, or were abused themselves, or something that explained why they were such lunatics.  But nope, not with Aiden.  He is just a crazy bastard and he likes it that way.  He has no love in his heart for anyone or anything except money.  He is really quite appalling and I hated him from the beginning of this book to the very end.  5 % into this book and he had already abducted and was getting ready to rape Rebecca.  He demeans her in every possible way I can think of.  This is not the fun type of rough sex.  This is the scary as shit type of sex and Aiden is so good at it. He is completely frightening.

images (3)

And Rebecca!  Rebecca, Rebecca, Rebecca!  You have Stockholm’s Syndrome, baby girl.  Hell, maybe she didn’t.  Maybe she is just as crazy and fucked up as Aiden.  Who knows?  This book is a complete mind fuck.

Her Master’s Courtesan is a fast paced erotic thriller.  It is extremely, extremely dark.  I cannot emphasize this enough.  Rape, abuse and physical violence are prevalent throughout the entirety of this book.  If you are looking for some romance and a happily ever after, fucking move on!  It was still an absolutely fabulous read that I could not put down.  It is superbly written and off the charts crazy.  Congrats, Lily White, you get the bat shit crazy award.  5 smooches.

kis kis kis kis

Synopsis

When Katherine “Kate” leaves for her freshmen year at college, a grounded and stable piece of her is missing. She pushes away the ghosts of her past, determined to start her college life single, carefree and distracted.
Throughout high school Kate was reserved and shy, with little experience. Now, on her own, with little holding her back, Kate is ready to branch out. She bonds with a tight knit group of friends and even starts casually dating. What starts out as innocent flirting on the tennis courts slowly turns into a friendship and eventually something more complex. Reed comes into her life giving her the distraction she craves more than anything; but is she ready to give her heart away so easily?
Things get complicated when Kate’s ex-boyfriend and first love continues to pursue her. Kyle deeply regrets breaking her heart when he left for college the year before and is now on a mission to reclaim her. Kyle’s persistence and relentlessness is nothing short of obsessive. He will stop at nothing to win her back and prove his love.
Kate finds herself torn between her past and the unknown of the future. Her determination to stay distracted may just be her downfall or the beginning of something new and wonderful.
***For Mature Readers 18+***

Review

In the Perfect Distraction we are introduced to Kate, fresh out of high school and ready to start college a free woman.  Her boyfriend of two years Kyle, broke up with her when he left for college the year before, so she decides to do the same-go to college single.  Once at school, she is determined to be the girl she wants to be.  Not Kyle’s ex, not the Kate with some family problems, just happy-go-lucky-Kate, is that too much to ask?  For her, it seems to be.
 
Kate’s Freshman year starts out with a bang, she likes her roommate Quinn well enough and meets some others as she settles in.  Maggie, Kelly, Jenna and a few boys Derek, Marco and of course Reed form a bit of a party group and start to hang out together.  Kate settles into college life and here is where I had a bit of a problem with the story.  Kate seemed very immature to me as compared to her girlfriends.  For example, she was so worried about kissing guys, which came off as more of an elementary level action as compared to college level. 
 
So Kate tests the waters with a few guys, but all roads lead back to Reed.  He is good looking, a tennis player and has the prettiest blue eyes ever (which is mentioned constantly, as well as Kate’s lip biting). Reed and Kate have the tennis thing in common, so they strike up a friendship that way, playing every Saturday.  Kate is aware of Reed’s player status around campus, so she doesn’t make any moves other than friendship wtih him.  School is out for the summer, Kate and Reed go their separate ways and we meet up with them her Sophomore year. 
 
During the summer Kate goes back home and ends up giving into her nagging ex Kyle.  This guys comes off as a total d-bag and stays that way the entire book.  He treats Kate like property and she falls right under his spell when they spend time together again.  After a few incidences with Kyle, Kate is done, however she doesn’t really tell him, she just ignores him.  Kyle is at a different school, so it is easy for Kate to go on with her life like he doesn’t exist.  Some of the prospects from the year before like Marco, have graduated, so Kate finds herself getting closer to Reed.
 
Reed isn’t who Kate thinks he is, so she starts to let him get closer than the year before, talking to him about Kyle and a bit about her family life.  He feels the same way about her, but knows that Kyle isn’t too far in the past and he still effects Kate.  Reed wants to make sure Kate feels the same and I think his 50 questions game was a great way to do it.  So Kate wants Reed, Reed wants Kate, Kyle still wants Kate and that is a recipe for trouble.
 
Things go all kinds of bad with Kate and Kyle, making Reed look like even more of a stand up guy.  He is good to Kate, but she just doesn’t think she is enough for him.  Kate wants to get her life straightened out with Kyle and her family once and for all before she can fully give herself to Reed.  
 
The story is solid and a little YA for my liking. I wasn’t connecting with Kate at all. She seemed to be too wishy-washy when it came to Kyle and the decisions she had to make.  She made them a bigger deal than they needed to be. The book is a bit of a cliffhanger and I do want to see how this story is going to play out-especially with Reed.
