The Imaginary Boyfriend (Wild Men, #7) by Jo Raven

A Bookworm Review by Ana

The Imaginary Boyfriend

Contemporar Dark Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Don’t you ever doubt your heart.

Have a look at the blurb:

He came into our garden like a ghost

the blond boy with the raven on his shoulder

He was pretty like a star

and just as distant

an imaginary friend

vanishing before anyone else could see him.

But years later, he appears at my high school

He comes out of nowhere, just like before

This time he’s older, taller, the raven gone

Is he real? Was it all true?

And if he vanishes again, how will I survive it?

* A standalone novel set in the Wild Men universe – Wild Men 7 *

#MyReview

After so long without a book from this amazing author, I get to have three in one sitting. Oh goody… I was so happy when she told me this. It was amazing to be able to be at the front row waiting…
Jo Raven is the author is talking about. She’s brilliant, she’s intense and her books are to die for.
Her writing is wild, hot and so intense. Just grab one book and see for yourself.
The Imaginary Boyfriend is her latest release and it’s the seventh book from the Wild Men series.
This new book explores the lives of and Claire.
Claire thought she had it all. She grew up surrounded by money and loneliness. Being the daughter of a Diplomat and a Socialite should make her happy but it doesn’t. Money doesn’t bring happiness, it’s the opposite.
Dayum. Just Dayum. What just happened?
I’m still shaking from the intensity… Dear lord…
Intense plot, very well written, super engaging and dark. It was scary but also intense.
This book is amazing and you’ll see. Through every flick of a new page, you’ll see what I’m talking about.
There were parts of the book that I wanted to scream, to shout, to hurt someone. But then there were others that I just wanted to get inside the book and hold them. To promise better days, a better life.
It’s hard to fight when you have the entire world pulling you down. It’s hard to believe in yourself when you don’t have anyone in your corner.
Love, loss, betrayal, crime is very present in this book as well as the desire and straight.
Do you know that feeling? That feeling when you’re reading and things start to make sense. Things start to fit like puzzle pieces.
It was seriously another freaking amazing book.
Jo Raven, woman, what was this? You’re trying to kill me right?
This book just stole a piece of my heart and I still want more.
There are questions that need answers… Please…

Second Goal by C.M. Seabrook

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Second Goal

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Why do we always want the forbidden fruit???

Have a look at the blurb:

I’ve always played by the rules. But I’m about to break them all.

Two years ago I found her. Body broken, beaten. And I knew the moment those blue eyes met mine that I would protect her no matter the cost. I just didn’t realize the price would be my heart.

She’s my best friend’s little sister.
The star of all my fantasies.
Forbidden fruit, ripe for the picking.

But the closer I get to her, the more I realize that she’s hiding more than just her desire for me. She’s playing a dangerous game. One that could have deadly consequences.

First goal: Protecting her.
Second goal: Making her mine.

This isn’t a game I’m willing to lose.

#MyReview:

To open my kindle and see that I have one book from this lady waiting for me… It feels like its Christmas morning when you’re about to open your presents.
C. M. Seabrook is one of my favorite authors and I have the privilege to read her books.
Each one is even better than the other.
Her writing is sweet and beautiful, raw and wild, stunning and hot… Oh boy…
Second Goal is her latest release and it’s the third book from the Men with Wood series.
If you really want to fully understand this series, I advise you to read the first two books. Get ready to fall in love…
This new book explores the lives of Kiley and Blake.
Kiley had a bad childhood. She was raised by her mother and let’s just say that it was a bad childhood.
She grew up surrounded by abuse and neglect and that made her be reserved and not trust anyone.
Years later she had found her brother but…
Blake is the star goalie for an NFL team. He’s good and he knows it. He has a heart bigger than the world. He’s always wanting to raise money to help someone.
Beautiful, like I knew it would be. The other books from this series were intense but this one… This one just stole my heart.
Fantastic plot, very well written, super engaging and intense.
Each chapter was even more intense and it was a joy to read.
Although we have some chapters that tore my heart out.
Their pain, their struggles were so raw that I saw myself crying.
How can someone so damaged heal? How can a broken soul be glued again? How can you live after experiencing so much loss?
This book presented us with poverty, misery, damaged souls, betrayal, crime as well as second chances, love, loyalty and family bonds.
There were parts of the book that I wanted to slap someone for being so stubborn but then there were others that I saw myself wanting to enter the book and heal them. Hold them and promise better days.
This book will hook you up in a sec and then you won’t be able to stop reading.
C.M. Seabrook, you nailed it once again. This book was freaking awesome and I didn’t wanted it to end. It was amazing to have news from the other characters.
What’s next?

#MyReview:

If you know me from my previous reviews, you know that if there’s a genre that can make me devour a book in no time is MC.
I’ve read my fair share of them but being good greedy I always want more.
Each book just complimented and justified my love for this genre and the more I read… The more I want.
I can’t stop.

It’s was the perfect introduction not only to this author but also to this series.
Perfect plot, well written and super intense.
The characters shared intense chemistry and that was very well portrayed.
It was a hot ride that made me fall in love.
I loved every chapter and I can’t wait for the next book.
When will it be Addy? Please hurry.

The Power of Ten: A laugh out loud romantic comedy boxset by Emily James

A Bookworm Review by Ana

The Power of Ten

Romantic Comedy

I give this book 5 stars!

Romantic and funny with a bit of steam.

Have a look at the blurb:

Three full-length romantic comedies about sassy women and the men that win their hearts.

10 Dates

When Joanie’s flaky fiancé puts their wedding on the back burner, her friends take matters into their own hands. Ten blind dates in as many days seems like an outrageous idea — but is it just zany enough to help Joanie find true love?

10 Dares

When Melinda’s stress starts to get the better of her, her friends come up with an idea to put the fun back into friendship — but will ten dares help her loosen up and find love, or might they just send her over the edge?

10 Lies

When Katie wins a luxury holiday, she figures a little R & R time is just what she needs.

Enter Jackson Quinn, the hot doctor who she’ll probably never see again. There’s no harm in a few tall tales told to a holiday fling, is there?

Until he shows up on her home turf.

Can Katie cover her tracks or will Jackson be her undoing?

THE POWER OF TEN is a three book collection of hilarious romantic comedies that grab you by the collar and don’t let go. They are best enjoyed by readers over the age of 18 due to mature content.

Wrecked: A Reverse Harem Romance by A.J. Snyder

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Wrecked

Reverse Harem Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Don’t give up…

Have a look at the blurb:

Shipwrecked. Stranded on a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

After a year of isolation, Gunner, Finn and Jamison never expected to be rescued.

And they certainly never expected a beautiful woman to crash-land into their lonely existence.

Rose is the only ray of light in their dark storm, and they’ll do anything to protect her.

But can the four of them survive without becoming completely wrecked?

Wrecked is a standalone reverse harem romance. It contains adult situations for mature readers.

#MyReview:

It’s been so long since I got a book from this author and I was super excited to read it.
A.J. Snyder knows her way around books, lol. She knows how to write them and make them hot and spicy… Just how I like it.
Wrecked is her latest release and it’s a reverse harem book.
Oh boy… Hot stuff alert.
This book explores the lives of Gunner, Finn, Jamison, and Rose.
These men were left stranded on a desert island for one year. They had lost their hope of being rescued until Rose entered their lives.
Rose had one major goal. To find a cure to her niece. She traveled in order to find the plant that could cure her…
Sweet, hot, perfect. These are the words that describe this book perfectly.
I missed this. I really did.
Freaking awesome plot, hot, wild and did I say hot?
All characters interacted perfectly with each other and they were perfect.
For some it might look too much, but for me… It was perfect.
Life is to short so just go for it.
Angela… I missed you. Your books have been my favorite and I was getting anxious waiting for more.

Crave Your Mercy (Mercy Academy Book 2) by L.A. Hart

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Crave Your Mercy

NA Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Your happiness might be just around the corner…

Have a look at the blurb:

Blake Sullivan’s perfect life is imploding. His father threw his mother out of the house, and now they’re going through a nasty divorce while the whole town watches.

Since I’ve been away at college, I had no idea that my brother Aric was the one responsible for destroying Blake’s family.

Or that Blake would stop at nothing to get back at Aric.

And I never thought that I would be used as a pawn in Blake’s revenge, not until it’s too late.

Now I have to make an impossible decision, one that will change everything.

I’ll never forget what Blake did to me; and no matter how much he begs, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive him.

 

#MyReview:

I was at the movies with my son when this book appeared on my kindle. Guess my dilemma…
To start it right away or not… Decisions…
But I couldn’t start it and it was torture. Lol.
L.A. Hart is the bomb. It doesn’t matter what genre she writes because I know right away that it will be a success.
Her writing is hot and wild, sweet and spicy, raw and intense. Each book will make you feel things…
Crave your Mercy is her latest release and it’s the second book from the Mercy Academy.
This new book explores the lives of Blake and Caroline.
Blake had it all. He was a football star in high school, had money and all the things it could buy and his two best friends. He had it all right? Wrong… So,  so wrong.
When he discovered that his best friend was having an affair with his mom he had only one idea in mind…
To get his revenge…
Caroline was away from home to attend college.
After her terrible first time, she ought to find the perfect guy who will make her erase it. But to top it all, she’s failing in school and needs to come clean with her parents and return home.
This author can never disappoint… Oh boy. So good.
It was another amazing book that made me smile, laugh, curse… You name it.
Beautiful plot, very well written, super captivating and intense.
This book showed us what really happens, what are the biggest decisions that anyone has to make.
It’s not easy to fall in love, but it’s even harder to keep loving and be loved.
Nothing in life is granted so you must fight for what you believe.
Stubborn doesn’t even begin to describe these two. They were… How can I put it? More stubborn than a mule. Jeez.
The biggest blind is the one who refuses to see what’s right in front of them.
Overall it was another amazing book that made my day. It was perfect to have news from the other characters. And it will be even more beautiful when I get my claws on the next one.
Please, L. A. Hart, don’t take to long…

Accidental Arrangement: A Valentine’s Novella by Stephie Walls

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Accidental Arrangement

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

What’s yours will knock at your door

Have a look at the blurb:

From coffee to dry cleaning and all the important moments in my executives’ lives, I was the go-to girl at McAllen Enterprises—a title I loved eleven months out of the year. But by the time Valentine’s Day rolled around, I was over the gifts, cards, flowers, dinners, and most of all, personal shopping.

So when a kink—Gavin Rose—makes his way into my annual holiday endeavors, I’m expecting the worst but praying for the best. And I’m surprised by the accidental arrangement that blossoms amidst the Valentine’s Day chaos.

#MyReview:

I honestly don’t know how I can start a new book from this author when my heart is still broken due to her latest release.
It’s the truth. Honest to God’s question the made me think it over one day.
It was hard to recover but I had to. She needed me so it let it go, but I didn’t forget.
Stephie Walls knows what she’s doing. She knows that her words have the ability to slice your heart into tiny pieces.
Her writing is that powerful. Her words get right into your heart and it can go two ways. It can warm you or cold you…
Accidental Arrangement is her latest release and tells Analiese’s story.
Analiese worked in a major company as a personal assistant for the four owners. She was responsible for their schedules, meetings, family stuff. You named it. She was super-efficient.
The only downfall was that to being this successful she didn’t have time for herself.
And it was perfect. It was a short story but so perfectly balanced.
The way it was written it made my heart burst with feelings and love.
It was a joy to read and to feel every single emotion.
These two were made for each other and it made me want a bit of more romance in my life.
Stephie… This was the perfect way to take my head out of the gutter. After the last book, I read it was well deserved.

A Few Teasers:

Excerpt:

His blue eyes nearly knocked me out of the chair when they met mine. They were warm and deep and full of…something I didn’t want to identify. “I’m not sure. It’s still pretty fresh.” He twirled the pen between his fingers. “Gram had told me that I was her sole beneficiary, but that didn’t really mean much when she was living. Now…I don’t know what it means. Thankfully, I’m in a place where I don’t have to choose right now.
I’m working insane hours, but I can do my job as a CPA here while the other employees carry the floral load.”
“Oh, wow. I hadn’t even thought about the fact that it’s tax time. You must be dying.”
His lip turned up in a quirky grin that made my core heat. I clenched my thighs together to alleviate the pressure and hoped like hell he hadn’t seen the heat rise in my cheeks.
“Long hours, but I’ll survive.” Gavin’s gaze dropped to my lips, and I forced myself to stop looking at him.
This man was dangerous in more ways than one. He had the power to make or break the wives’ and the excutives’ Valentine’s Day, but he also had the ability to play with my heartstrings, and I didn’t like that in the least. Gavin didn’t seem like the playboy type. I mean, what CPA would? But damn if he didn’t look like one. He had the markings of a man who could have any woman he wanted, but I didn’t sense that from his personality. I’d been wrong before.
“I have an idea.” He paused, waiting for me to look up. “It might make you feel a little better about this whole Lauren thing.” Mischief swirled in the oceans of blue that threatened to drown me.
“What’s that?”
“What are your thoughts on Naked Ladies and Wolf’s Bane?”
I cocked my head to the side, wondering if someone had hit him on the head as a baby. “Well, I’m straight, so nude women aren’t really my thing—”
His laugh burst from his mouth and filled the room. It was as warm as I imagined his arms to be. “They’re flowers, Analiese.”
Well, I felt like an idiot.
“Poisonous flowers.”
I rolled my eyes and faced him with a look that should have felt like a smack on the cheek. “I’m not trying to kill the woman, Gavin.”
“Well, unless she eats the arrangement, she has nothing to worry about.” He shrugged and leaned back in Violet’s chair. “There are tons of poisonous flowers used in bouquets all the time. Peace lilies are a prime example.”
I had no idea, not that I’d ever thought about it because Gavin was right. I didn’t plan to ingest flowers that I’d received or bought. “Really?”
Maybe Gavin knew more about this flower gig than I’d originally thought. “Yeah.
It’s a way that you can pay homage to what she is to your boss without actually saying it. Just thought it might make you feel a little better about your role in it.”

About the author:

Bestselling author, Stephie Walls is a lover of words–the more poetic the better.
She lives on the outskirts of Greenville, South Carolina in her own veritable zoo with two dogs, three cats, and Magoo (in no preferential order). She would thrive on coffee, books, and Charlie Hunnam if it were possible, but since it’s not, add in some Chinese food or sushi and she’s one happy girl.
