The Chocolatier (Man Card Book 1) by Terra Kelly

A Bookworm Review by Ana

The Chocolatier

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

True love is forever…

Have a look at the blurb:

My best friend’s sister was off limits; until the day she sauntered into my classroom.

She’s looking to perfect her candy making skills.

I’m looking to teach her all the best ways to use chocolate, none of which include how to properly line a candy mold.

She’ll discover what it really means to temper chocolate when I stir her up and light her body on fire.

She’s doesn’t know it, but she was mine the moment she set foot in my kitchen.

#MyReview:

Just a look at this cover and I just wanted to do one thing… Can you guess what that was??
To lick it all over. Of boy… It’s a sin to mix a nice set of abs and chocolate… It should be illegal… Dayum…
Terra Kelly has informed me that she was going to create a series of books that would spike our lives and dayum… Just the cover… Just that…
The Chocolatier is her latest release and tells the stories of Rylee and Weston.
Rylee wanted to improve her chocolate skills and one of her friends talked about one chef that was giving a masterclass at the mall…
Weston moved to Paris to attend culinary school. When his mentor had the opportunity to get back to the States he brought him along. The day this renowned chef was attending a special appearance he got sick so Weston had to go in his place…
It was the perfect story. It had it all. An amazing plot, stunning characters, hot stuff and…. Chocolate. Lol. I loved it so much.
It was devoured in a few hours because once I started it I couldn’t put it down…
And guess what? I want more. This was so short that I’m having cravings for more… It was sweet and hot…
Terra oh boy… What’s was this? I nailed it hun and I can’t wait for more…

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

A Few Teasers:

Excerpt:

“When melting the chocolate,” Weston was saying as he walked around to look at our double boilers, “If there’s too much water in the bottom pan, you can easily burn the chocolate.” He stopped by my station. “A little water goes a long way.” My hands were shaking as I continuously stirred the chocolate. Why did he have to stare like that? It was so damn distracting. He started to walk behind me and I thought he was making his way over to the next table. Instead, he stopped and moved his head close to my ear. “Rylee Nelson.” His voice was low and husky. It was like music to my ears. “How did I get so lucky?”
“Um.” I felt goose bumps start to form all over my body. It had been way too long since I had Weston Gray this close to me. “I don’t know. Did you find a four-leaf clover last month?”
“Still sassy and sexy, too.”
I tipped my head up to look at his face. “Maybe.”
He moved in closer which seemed impossible at this point. His lips were almost touching mine. “Don’t forget to stir.”
“Yeah, I–” My body jumped at his words. “Shit.” I quickly looked down and noticed the chocolate sticking to the sides of the pan.

Going Deep (Imperfect Love Book 2) by Nikki Ash

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Going Deep

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Don’t hide what you are feeling behind a smile…

Have a look at the blurb:

*Standalone enemies-to-lovers football romance*

Going deep: In football it means running down the field for a long pass. You’re serious. Committed. Unstoppable. As a wide receiver, it’s a term I’m all too familiar with. It’s who I am, at least when it comes to my career.

For the past decade, football has been the only thing I’ve allowed myself to commit to. That is until a beautiful, blue-eyed temptress steps into my limo to escort me to a charity function.

She’s strong, independent, and quick witted. Everything I want in a woman. There’s just one problem. She’s not mine for the taking. But that’s not going to stop me from winning her heart.

I’m in deep with this woman. I’m running down the field with my arms and heart open, ready for the catch. Now all I need is for her to throw the ball.

#MyReview:

How to start a book written by this lady? Fast or super fast?? Decisions… Decisions… Lol.
I’ve read a few books from her and let me tell you that I can’t get enough of them. The more I read… The more I want…
Nikki Ash has given me some stellar books and when I received this one I was on cloud nine.
Her writing is sweet and sassy, intense and addictive…
Going Deep is her latest release and it’s the second book from the Imperfect Love series.
And let me just say that you must read The Pickup first because you’ll have glimpses from these characters… And you’ll love the story.
This new book explores the lifes of Killian and Giselle.
Killian is fully comited to his career in football. He lives, breathes and sleeps football. He doesn’t want to get caught up in anything until a beautiful girl crosses his path.
Giselle will go to the end of the world if it means she’ll protect the ones she loves. She’s a force to be reckoned  and she will sacrifice her life in order to do what she thinks is the best. No-one can imagine that behind her smile hides the way she truly feels. Broken and tired.
How can I say what’s on my mind without spoiling? I’ll try… I’ll try…
I’m over the moon. I’m beyond happy. I’m amazed and so much more.
Superb plot, very well written, super engaging and intense. Each chapter was a joy to read and sometimes I was so mad.
There were parts of the book that I wanted to slap someone… Jeez let’s talk about stubbornness… But there were others that I wanted to hold them tight and never let go.
This book talks about a serious problem that many people have not realized but we have to. You can try to ignore it but it will not go away.
Love, loyalty, friendship, desire are very present in this book as well as some hot scenes that will melt your heart…I’m in love with these characters and it was a joy to have news from the other characters from the beginning of this series…

So… I’m calling dibs on Kill…
And don’t get me talking about the book that’s about to come…
Nikki you’ve nailed it again. I had loved The Pickup but this new book just stole my heart. I’m so glad for the chance to read this series and I can’t wait for the next one…

A Few Teasers:

Excerpt:

Gently moving her body off mine, I get out of bed and go to the kitchen to start the coffee. While it’s brewing, I hear the sound of feet padding across my wood floor. Giselle appears in the doorway, still wearing my shirt and boxers. Her hair is messy from sleep, her face free of all makeup, and she looks gorgeous as hell. She grants me a shy, nervous smile. I know she wasn’t drunk last night, but my guess is she’s wondering if I regret everything we talked about. Needing her to know I don’t regret anything, I grin back. Her smile widens and then she throws her head back with a laugh, and fuck if it isn’t the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard.
“What?” I question.
“We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad,” she says through a fit of giggles, and the melodic sound has me grinning hard.
“An Alice in Wonderland quote?” I ask, even though I already know it is. After she told me to read the book, I googled ‘Alice in Wonderland quotes,’ and came across several. Who knew the author of children’s books could be so poetic?
“Yeah.” She nods with a smile.
I pull a mug down from the cabinet and hand it to her. She goes to take it, but I don’t let go. Instead, I use her grip on it to pull her closer to me. Her body presses against mine, and I tilt my chin down to kiss her. Only she turns her head to the side at the last second and my lips land on her cheek. Without letting go of her, I whisper, “I’m afraid we are mad. But I’ll tell you a secret. All of the best people are.” I have no idea if the quote is from the book or the movie. It’s one of the ones I found when I googled, but I’m sure she’ll tell me.
Giselle backs up, and shaking her head with a large grin splayed upon her face, says, “That’s from the movie, and I’m pretty sure, you didn’t even say it right. Read. The. Book.” Then, plucking the mug out of my hand, she goes about making her coffee.
I study her as she flits around my kitchen like she belongs here. She grabs the milk and sugar from the fridge and adds them both to her coffee. Then she turns around and leans against the counter. Her foot pops up against the cabinet, exposing her sexy thigh. She lifts the hot coffee to her lips and blows on it. Her eyes come up slowly, and she peers up at me through her thick lashes.
“Thank you for last night,” she says softly. “It felt really good to be able to talk to someone about everything. Thank you for not judging me.”

Beast (Savages and Saints Book 4) by C.M. Seabrook

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Beast

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Do not judge a book by its cover because behind all the pages you’ll find the light…

Have a look at the blurb:

“The regret. The love. The passion. The family dynamic. All bleed off the pages, making this book unputdownable.” Get Your Book On

London is everything I should stay away from. Sweet, perfect, and my best friend’s girl. She’s also pregnant with his kid. A kid who will never know its dad – because of me.

She spends her life fixing things…and I spend mine breaking them.

The woman has this whole messed up theory that she can heal me, but I’m not just damaged, I’m irreparably broken. And my love for her won’t just burn her this time, it could destroy us both.

#MyReview:

Do you know how many days I’ve been suffering waiting for this book to arrive? Way to many because first of all I hate waiting and second of all I love this author… Can you see how I was hurting? You can’t… Or you can if you’re a fan of this series…
CM Seabrook have a permanent place in my heart, not just because of her books but the primary reason is that she’s an amazing girl and I adore her. We hadn’t met in person yet but that day will come…
If you know her, you know why I’m talking like this but if you don’t just let me point out my reasons.
Her writing is freaking awesome and you will find in her books love, loss, danger, desire, forbidden and hot stuff. Oh boy… She’s the bomb…
Beast is her latest release and it’s the fourth book from the Savages and Saints series. Oh boy… This series… These brothers… These covers… Yummy…
But let me just give you a heads up. For you to fully comprehend this book you should read the complete series. Read Torment, Gravity, Salvage and then, but only then read Beast… Trust me…
This book explores the lifes of Abbott and London.
Abbott is a tormented soul. He’s a loose cannon about to explode. His choices almost become a tragedy but nothing can stop the war he has with himself. He’s an MMA fighter and inflicting pain in others but mostly in himself is the only way for him to get loose. He has eyes for one girl but she’s his best friend’s girl and…
London thought that life would get even, more perfect. She’s pregnant and super happy until one day she’s lost. Her boyfriend dies and now what? Now what? Well Abbott tries to save the day, to be there for her but how can he? Or even better… How can she?
I’m speechless… I’m stunned… I’m all over the place…
I can’t talk let alone write… This book… Oh boy this book.
Let me just say that I had great expectations about this story but it was even more beautiful than I thought… It was all and even more…
Sublime plot, very well written, super engaging and intense. It was a bumpy ride but totally worth it.
The feelings between each chapter, the doubts, the love in it was so big that made my heart tighten or about to burst.
One minute I wanted to hurt someone but in a flick of a page I wanted to hold them.
So many emotions at once. I’m stunned.
Do not judge a book by its cover because behind all the pages you’ll find the light…
CM Seabrook you just stolen my heart… My soul all at once. I had been waiting for this book for so long but totally understandable. You created a masterpiece and I can’t wait for the next one.
When will we have Jasper’s story? Soon? Lease say yes…

A Single Kiss (Irresistible Attraction Book 2) by Willow Winters

A Bookworm Review by Ana

A Single Kiss

Romantic Suspense

I give this book 5 stars!

Your mind can play tricks on you so you better trust your heart. No matter what…

Have a look at the blurb:

From USA Today bestselling author Willow Winters comes a heart-wrenching, edge-of-your-seat gripping, romantic suspense.

I should feel shame for not wanting this to end, but he doesn’t want it to end either.
When the darkness sets in, the flames all flickered out, and the loud click of the locks signal it’s over, that’s when reality comes back.
The war. The drugs. All of the lies that leave a tangled web for me to get lost in.
I don’t want any of it.
I only want him. Jase Cross. My enemy. And yet, the only person I trust.
With broad shoulders and a smoldering look in his dark eyes, Jase is a man born to be powerful.
I shouldn’t give him more power than he already has.
Jase Cross will be my downfall.

#MyReview:

I’ve been counting down the days to read this book. Wanna know why? Because the way the last book ended… So many questions… So many fears… So manu doubts…
Willow Winters is a genius. Not only can she make you blush with some hot scenes but she can also put you into tears… Just dayum… She’s that good.
A Single Kiss is her latest release and it’s the second book from the Irresistible Attraction series… And what a series this has been.
But I need to tell you something. This series is not a standalone therefore you need to read A Single Glance first and then grab this one.
As you know, the first book tell us the stories of Jase and Bethany.
Bethany has only one goal to make the ones responsible for her sister’s death pay but at what cost?
So as I earlier said, this new book pick up right were the other left off…
OK… Seriously… Seriously… Why? Why?
It’s over… This book is over… And I’m mad… Oh boy… So so mad…
Superb plot, very well written, super intense, dark and so much more.
Each chapter made me even more nervous. But being curious as I am, I couldn’t stop reading. I needed to know… I needed to read more… And then bamm… The end appeared and I was mad… Oh boy…
This book continues to give us crime, secrets, darkness drama, envy as well as love and desire.
Your mind can play tricks on you so you better trust your heart. No matter what…
Willow… You’re lucky that I love you because the way you ended this…. Jesus… You’re trying to kill me right?
I need more… Please…

Doc: Devil’s Nightmare MC Book 6 by Lena Bourne

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Doc

MC Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Your true love will find you. No matter how many years had pass…

Have a look at the blurb:

DOC is a full-length, standalone seventh book in a steamy and suspenseful MC Romance series – Devil’s Nightmare MC – by Lena Bourne. No Cliffhanger, HEA Guaranteed!

Doc

I’m a lone wolf, I fly solo, and I’m not looking to find a woman to settle down with. The sum total of what I still want from this world is peace and silence, and being alone with my thoughts. That all held true until Anne came into my life. From the moment I saw her slumped over the wheel of her crashed car on the side of the road, I knew I wanted to know all there is to know about her.

But the more I find out, the more impossible claiming her becomes. She’s running from her abusive ex, and that’s a thing my brothers and I could easily deal with. But her ex is also an FBI Special Agent, and he’ll do whatever it takes to get her back. Messing with him could get us all arrested, or worse, killed.

I can’t let her go and I can’t risk the lives of my brothers to keep her. The choice between Anne and the MC is impossible to make. But, one way or another, I’ll have to make it.

Doc: Devil’s Nightmare MC is biker romance novel, which contains steamy sex scenes and deals with disturbing themes that may be uncomfortable for some readers. Intended for 18+ audiences.

#MyReview:

Happy doesn’t even cover the way I was feeling when this amazing lady told me that she was about to finish this new book. And now, seeing it on my kindle I was beyond excited.
It’s been a while since she gave me a new book so you can guess the way I was shaking with the need to read it asap.
This author has given me some of the best MC books I’ve ever read so the spark is super high.
Lena Bourne knows what she’s doing and her books are a breath of joy and excitement. She knows how to spike our attention and melt our hearts.
Doc is her latest release and it’s the seventh book from the Devil’s Nightmare MC.
Each book is a standalone but if you really want to understand this series better you’ll read them all. You won’t regret it…
This new book explores the lifes of Doc and Anne.
Anne thought that she found her happily ever after, that she had found her prince but instead she found the devil. She’s been abused by her husband for so long that she can’t get away. But how can she? She has no-one to go to…
Doc used to be a field doctor during the wars he battled and that made him grumpy and mad all the time. The things he saw changed him. But now his life is complete with his MC brothers, but sometimes that life can be suffocating. Since the moment his president found his Old Lady things had changed. It was for the best but it’s not what he’s used to. On a getaway to the woods…
I’m speechless. This books was so much more than what I was hoping for. I knew it was going to be a freaking amazing story but it was so much more.
Perfect plot, very well written, super engaging, suspenseful and dark.
Each chapter let me eager to know more because I was afraid for the characters.
Things were happening in a way that I was shaking.
Of course that not everything that was going on was a dark because we are transported to a place of desire and hotness… Of boy… The hot scenes…
This book presented us with love, loyalty, friendship, family ties, second chances as well as abuse, crime, punishment, drama and madness.
It was perfect the way this author approached this topic. Unfortunately domestic violence is here and we need to pay attention and fight for our life’s and help others if we can.
It was perfect to have news from the other characters from this series and is super impressive the ability that this author had to join this story with the previous ones. I’ve had a bunch of questions while reading the other books.
Lena you are a magician with a pen. This book was perfect and I was left wanting more. Can I have more?

Million Dollar Musician by RB Hilliard

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Million Dollar Musician

Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Your past will haunt you if you don’t let it go…

Have a look at the blurb:

As lead singer of Indigo Road, I had it all: fame, fortune, and all the sex a man could ever want. My fall from the top was anything but graceful, and I lost everything, including my self-respect.Stepping back into the spotlight would prove a challenge. A challenge I was more than ready for, until she happened—Wynne Benfield. She was the whole package: brains, beauty and talent. She was also forbidden.

#MyReview:

I don’t know how to describe you the way I’ve been feeling lately… I’ve been super anxious. And one of the reasons is this book right here…
As you already know, from reading my previous reviews, I’m love this author. She has given me some of the best books I’ve ever read and I always want more.
It’s been a while since I got the chance to read a book from her so you can guess the nerves I’m feeling.
RB Hilliard is this sweetest girl with a huge heart that transpires to her books. She’s the bomb and you’ll feel her in each book.
Million Dollar Musician is her latest release and tells the stories of Sander and Wynne.
Sander is used to be on the spotlight. Being the lead singer of Indigo Road can brig you fortune, fame and as much girls he could ever want. But being on top can make your fall super hard.
And now what? How can you recover when your reputation is on the floor… After being sober for two years he decides to attend a music competition…
Wynne has the talent and being a music teacher isn’t enough. She enters the Million Dollar Musican competition and will have the infamous Sander as her mentor…
Oh boy… What a book… Dayum… Just dayum…
Superb plot, super engaging, intense. Once I started to read it I simply couldn’t put it down. It was super late and I was still reading until this amazing author texted me demanding that I went to bed.
I read chapter after chapter and when I thought that this story was going in the right direction this lady has other ideas and then the story would turn…
I was happy, I was mad, I was sad, I was nervous but not even once I wanted to stop reading.
Love, loyalty, dreams, friendship are super present in this book as well as betrayal, crime, deceive and greed. The things people will do to hurt someone…
These two were perfect for each other and it was amazing to testify their stories. And dayum the hot stuff… Hot flashes warning…
It was even better to get Chaz back. I love that man.
Can’t wait to read more.
Will we have more RB Hilliard? Please say yes. I need more.

Blood and Lies (Twisted Duet Book 1) by Bella J.

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Blood & Lies

Dark Mafia Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

The beginning to the end….

Have a look at the blurb:

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. All it took was one bullet and I went from Capo to Boss within the blink of an eye.

What once was my twin brother’s birthright, has now become my curse. While I watch them lower him into the ground I can feel my need for revenge consume me.

The hate, it’s toxic. Addictive. Deadly.

I will avenge my brother’s death if it’s the last thing I do. I will retaliate, and exact due payment.

The cost? Her life.

Tatum Linscott is the cause of my family’s grief. She ruined everything, and now my only goal is to break her, mend her, then break her again.

This war started with her…and it will end with her blood on my hands.

#MyReview:

Oh my lord… How can I keep my sanity? How?
This author is the creator of the best mafia series I have ever read so you can guess the way I felt when this book appeared on my kindle…
I was nervous but super excited as well. So many questions appeard on my mind…
Bella J is the author that I’m talking about. Her books are perfect and you need to read them.
Blood & Lies is her latest release and it’s the first book from the A Twisted Duet.
This new book explores the lifes of Castello and Tatum.
Castello lost his brother in a tragic way and after that he has only one goal. To avenge his death and revenge to the person responsible for it. But what would you expect of a mafia boss?
Tatum had the life she wanted. Parties and a boyfriend. Until one day she wakes up a prisoner…
I’m stunned, speechless to say the least.
I knew what I was about to get but let me tell you… It was so much more… So much more.
Sublime plot, very well written, super dark, intense and dangerous. Each chapter was even more intense than the other.
Dayum… I’m still shaking.
I knew that this story would be chaotic, dark and dangerous. It was like I can’t look but I can’t take my eyes out of it, insane right?
This book presented us with danger, madness, crime, deceive as well as desire, family bonds, loyalty and so much more.
I’m still trying to find the perfect word… But I can’t. I can’t say anything more because I refuse to spoil.
But one thing is for certain… I’m mad… But also happy…
Happy because this was the perfect start to an amazing dark series but I’m mad because it’s over…
Bella J… Why? Why? Where’s the rest of this? Can you give it to me now?
Please? It would be our little secret… Lol. Please don’t take long.

Retaliation (A Vindicator Series Novel Book 3) by Kathy Coopmans

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Warrant

Mafia Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

You can’t forget your past because someday it can return.

Have a look at the blurb:

As far back as I can remember, I pushed away those ugly demons looping their venom around my brain.
Trying to turn me into a man I never wanted to be.
“Do what we say or die.”
Words filled with poison, they slowly dripped in my veins, leaving me a mess of a man, and walking that thin line between
right and wrong.
I never wanted to be a killer; now it’s a craving I need to survive.
The man I used to be never wanted to cause anyone an ounce of unbearable pain, because I know first-hand what it feels
like.
That choking in your throat, barely able to breathe heartbreak of those who died, left behind.
The men I’m killing, they left me no choice but to walk a line chalked with retaliation.
To leave the woman I love behind.
I didn’t take a life like they claim to cause her pain. I sacrificed a lifetime with her to keep her alive.
But, after fourteen years of her living that lie, I’m crossing another line.
One I was warned to never step over.
“Stay away from her, or she dies.”
*Author Note- This book may spark triggers.

#MyReview:

Oh boy… The book I’ve been wanting to read for so long is finally complete and waiting for me on my kindle…
How can I keep reading the other books I have to finished when this masterpiece is waiting for me? I can’t read them fast enough because I know that once I start to read this book I’ll not be able to stop…
Kathy Coopmans has been a constant in my reading life and let me tell you that I hadn’t read enough books from her. I’m always eager to read more and more…
Her writing is hot, wild, raw and intense. Just get ready to be drowned by the flow of feelings…
Retaliation is her latest release and it’s the third book from the Vindicator series.
But before I tell you more about this new book I need to tell you something. Despite the fact that all books are standalones I tottaly advise you to read Vengeance and Warrant first. These two books will get you a better insight for this new book.

Just go for it.
This new book explores the lifes of Nick and Blair.
Nick didn’t have a normal childhood. Being the heir to the Bratva mob they expected him to fulfill a few demands. He suffered a lot and that made him the man he is today. He’s a killer and left everything behind.
Blair thought that she had it all. The love of her life right beside her but then he disappears… Now, 14 yeas later she’s a successful lawyer that was given the option for a job… But what will she do? Accepted or deny? Or will her past get in the way?
Will Retaliation solve everything? Will it be enough?
Do you know what perfection is? I’ll tell you what it is… It’s this book right here.
When I ended it my heart was so full I thought it would burst…
This book nailed it and made this series even better.
Superb plot, very well written, super engaging and intense.
All chapters were surrounded by a cloud of darkness and with so much more between each phrase that I can’t spoil.
It was nearly impossible to stop reading because the way each chapter ended made me want to keep reading and reading.
This book presented us with madness, crime, punishment, drama, betrayal but also with so much love, loyalty, friendship and some pretty hot scenes… Oh boy…
I’m not saying anything more because I refuse to spoil so I advise you to grab book 1 and then go from there.
Kathy… Oh Kathy… What can I say?
You are a genius behind a pen. The way your mind works has the ability to hypnotise me…but I wouldn’t change a thing.
Please tell me that Caden will have his own book? Please…

The Hit: Bratva Vows Book Two by S.R. Jones

A Bookworm Review by Ana

The Hit

Mafia Dark Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Will you keep this Gift??? Or give it away…

Have a look at the blurb:

The reading order for the Bratva Vows series is:
The Trap: Free Prequel
The Gift: Book one
The Hit: Book Two

BLURB
Keep your friends close, and your enemies in your bed….

VIOLET
Taken…
Kidnapped.
Given to him;
A cold-blooded, unforgiving hitman,
with sexy eyes and an irresistible body.
I only went and fell for him. Believed the lie of his beauty.
But it all turned ugly and dark, and now I’m adrift.

ANDRIUS
A gift—mine!
To own, to keep.
I believed she belonged to me.
Let myself hope.
But it all came crashing down in the worst way.
Now I have to figure out if I can save her.
Save myself.
Because when lies and deceit fall away.
Can the truth be enough?

Praise for the series:

“One of the best Mafia books I have ever read” Amazon reviewer

“An intense and compelling dark romance” Amazon reviewer.

“Oh my God! This book is insane! I devoured it.” Tami Lund Author.

“The best hero I’ve read in a VERY long time”

#MyReview:

Oh my lord… I was waiting for this book for so long that I thought I would go bananas…
The impact the first book had in me made eager to read the next one.
SR Jones has a way with words that will hook you up… It happened to me and I had only read one book.
Her writing is raw, wild, dark and with so much feelings and emotions in between… I can’t say enough to make her justice.
The Hit is the third book from the Bratva Vows series and you must read the prequel The Trap and then The  Gift. It’s imperative that you read them because if you don’t you will not be able to understand this book.
This book keeps telling us Andrius and Violet’s story…
As you know Violet was gifted to Andrius by a Mafia Lord. A gift Andrius didn’t wanted but kept it.
But things have happened and now…
OMG why? Why? Why? I want more… Please… More…
I’m in love. This series nailed it and left me wanting to know more about a few characters that are mentioned in this book. The need to know how? Why? When? I have a bunch of questions that need answers.
Amazing plot, super engaging, hot, wild and dark.
It was amazing the way this story progressed because it left me wanting to keep reading and reading.
How can someone have so much deamons and be able to fight them all?
This book presented us with love, loyalty, desire as well and revenge, loss, betrayal and crime…
So much had happened that I saw myself biting my nails… Oh lord.
This book was the perfect combination of drama and desire.
SR Jones I’m in love and I can’t wait to read your other books…
When will we have Damon’s story? Soon right?

About the Author:

Hi Guys. I’m a UK based author who loves to read and write all things romance.

As Skye Jones I write steamy paranormal romance.

As S.R. Jones I write darker, contemporary romance and romantic suspense.

One thing my books have in common are tortured alpha heroes that are oh-so-redeemable!

I live in Yorkshire, and get lots of inspiration from the windswept moors, the old stone buildings and the Celtic myths of this fair isle.

My dogs are my favorite people, although I tell my husband I’m quite fond of him too 😉

I love chocolate and Starbuck’s Mochas and keep meaning to give them up for a life of yoga and fresh juices, but it never happens!

Thrill Ride by Lane Hart

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Thrill Ride

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

To love or to hate…

Have a look at the blurb:

They say you never forget your wedding day.

Except, I never made it to the church.

Instead of walking down the aisle to marry the man who has promised to love me forever, I’ve been kidnapped by a man from my past.

I haven’t seen Hendrix Blake in over three years, and we didn’t end things on the best terms either. He thought I had betrayed him, so he left me behind, shattered and broken.

Still, I haven’t forgotten a single thing about him, especially not his dark eyes or the way they always seemed to pierce straight to my soul.

Now, I’m locked inside a limousine with the criminal who once owned my heart, speeding down the highway, headed to who the hell knows where.

With no money, no phone, and no clothes, and hundreds of miles from home, I find myself completely at Hendrix’s mercy, which is exactly where he wants me.

Thrill Ride is a standalone romance with a HEA.

 

#MyReview:

Oh dear God… What can I do to have more time to read? How can I say no to another book from one of the authors that I simply adore…
Lane Hart has given me some of the best books of my entire life and each new book keeps stealing my heart piece by piece. Her writing is raw and intense, wild and hot, forbidden and dangerous…
Just grab one of her books and get ready to be amazed.
Thrill Ride is her latest release and tells the stories of Libby and Hendrix.
Libby was about to get married until a blast from the past appears…
Hendrix only had one goal. To grab Libby and make her pay…
Dayum… Just dayum… What am I going to do now that this book is over?
I’m stunned, speechless and freaking happy for the chance to read this book.
The plot was perfect, very well written, super engaging and intense. Dayum, one minute I was reading and thinking one thing and the next it all turned the complete opposite…
Reading this book was super similar to riding a bumpy rollercoaster… Way bumpy…
Let’s just say that these two are perfect for each other. When one pull the other push… For me is the perfect combination for an amazing story.
Love, loss, loyalty, betrayal and hot stuff makes this book even more addictive.
I’m speechless and I want more…
Please Lane… Will we have more? Can we have more? Please say yes…
