REVIEW: A Sense of Guilt by Maia Dylan

4/16/2019

Title: A Sense of Guilt

Author: Maia Dylan

Genre: dark romance, contemporary, erotic

TBR Reviewer: Bella

Rating: 5 stars - A Must Read

Heat: 4/5 - Smoking Hot

Gino and Rosa are survivors. When a threat from Rosa’s own family comes to light, Gino has a choice to make. One that’s life or death, love or loss.

Dark, dirty and heart wrenching. That pretty much explains this book. The pain this author put these characters through is just cruel and it really makes me cheer for them. In terms of the action, there’s a ton. The growing love between Gino and Rosa is beautiful then some seriously hot romance. I love this dark romance vibe that’s been so popular lately. A Sense of Guilt is a must read for those readers who like their heart pulled out of there chest and then sewed back up by an amazing story. Intense action. Stunning romance. I can’t wait to read more in this series!

REVIEW: Hannah's Bliss by Dania Voss

4/15/2019

Title: Hannah's Voss

Author: Dania Voss

Genre: Romance, contemporary, erotic

TBR Reviewer: Bella

Rating: 5 Stars - A Must Read!

Heat: 4/5 - Smoking Hot!

Hannah is a pushover. Her mother picked her boyfriend, her job is lacking and then she meets Rocco. He’s been through a rough childhood with abusive parents and survived Afghanistan. Can two people from opposite sides of life, find a happy ending together?

This is a fantastic contemporary romance. Rocco really had my heart strings twisting. He survives so much as a child and still has residual issues. Hannah is a bit harder to like. She’s too much of a pushover for my taste. When she meets Rocco it’s like she’s found her backbone. I love the drama and the passion! And Richard the ‘boyfriend’, I wanted to punch that guy and not in the face. The author did a great job bringing these characters to life. If you enjoy contemporary romance, you’re going to love Hannah’s Bliss!

REVIEW: Jungle Salvation by M.A. Jewell

4/10/2019

Title: Jungle Salvation

Author: M.A. Jewell

Genre: Romance, Paranormal, shifter, erotic

TBR Reviewer: Bella

Rating: 4/5 - Highly recommended read

Heat: 4/5 - Blush Worthy

Matteo helps Dakota with her shifter and she shows him what he twenty first centry is like. He’s been in cat form for a long time but their mating causes Matteo shifter problems. He must keep away from Dakota to keep them both save. When Dakota is kidnapped by a rogue military force he must save her, at any cost.

I really love the characters in this book. Matteo has a harsh, complicated history and meeting the complex Dakota only adds to the beautiful chaos. Their romance plays out among the action of the military attack. It gives a nice break to the romance and keeps the story going forward. The sex is super hot and definitely going to get the blood flowing. There are a few slow spots in the book that felt a bit bogged down but that’s really my only complaint. In terms of a shifter book, Matteo and Dakota really stand out. If you like shifters with a lot of heat then this book should be on your list to read!

This is a phenomenal story! It starts with Tony getting word that Leona is missing. I can really feel his panic and the urge to find her. It gave them a good connection before the reader actually got to meet Leona. Poor Leona, the stuff she’s been through in life has broken her down. This is an edge of your seat read and being that’s it short I devoured the story! Sexy, entertaining, heartbreaking, sweet, His Kind of Beautiful is a must read!

REVIEW: Mayhem and the Marquess by Win Hollows

4/2/2019

Title: Mayhem and the Marquess

Author: Win Hollows

Genre: Romance, erotic, historical

TBR Reviewer: Bella

Rating: 4 stars - Highly recommended read

Heat: 4/5 - Smoking hot

Asher must stay in control or risk the loss of his entire estate and his freedom. He meets Ivy, daughter of an infamous criminal, but secrets threaten to tear their blooming love apart…

Historical romance isn’t my normal read but the blurb really grabbed me. This is a great story about Ivy, who is first and foremost a survivor, and Asher, who’s dealing with a traumatic past. Together they have to deal with some dangerous elements. I don’t want to give too much away but this story is full of romance. I really enjoyed it and would recommend Mayhem and the Marquess to historical romance lovers.

REVIEW: Hearts in Darkness by Stephanie Bedwell-Grime

4/2/2019

Title: Hearts in Darkness

Author: Stephanie Bedwell-Grime

Genre: Romance, Erotic, Paranormal, Vampire

TBR Reviewer: Bella

Rating: 4 Stars - Highly Recommended Read

Heat: 4/5 - Smoking hot!

Patience has a flash drive from work that may just get her killed. She’s saved by an unlikely person or should I say, vampire. Myth is only trying to help but he quickly becomes intrigued by the attractive stranger. Both have people hunting them, can they escape a terrible fate and find love in each other arms?

I have to say I’m so happy with Patience as a character. Yes, she grateful to be saved but she doesn’t trust this stranger who talks a bit old world which is such a huge relief. She’s running from dangerous people who are after terrible secrets (you’ll have to read the book to discover them). When Myth saves her, they start a battle that neither of them expects and a romance that neither of them can fight. She did accept the whole vampires are real thing too quickly. Some dialogue is odd as well, not Myth, but other characters. The romance is beautiful and sexy. I really enjoyed this paranormal suspense!

REVIEW: A Muse to Live For by Katherine Wyvern

3/19/2019

Title: A Muse to Live For

Author: Katherine Wyvern

Genre: Lgbtq, Romance, Erotic, Historical

TBR Reviewer: Bella Star

Rating: 4 stars - Recommended Read

Heat: 3/5 - Blush Worthy

Nathaniel is an artist but he’s lost his urge to create. His muse comes in the form of a beautiful prostitute who hides the face that she is really a male. When his dark past catches up to him, he must flee but the action breaks Nathaniel’s heart. Nathaniel is determined to save his muse and the love of his life.

What a romantic, beautiful, intense, amazing story. I am really blown away by how lovely this book is. Nathaniel is in a dark place when he meets Gabrielle/Gabriel. They are both such vibrant, complicated characters. The historical world is beautiful portrayed. This story has so many layers and I had such a great time getting to the center. My only complaint is actually the point of view. Changing between the characters is confusing and clunky. It kept throwing me out of the story. Overall, A Muse to Live For is a wonderful historical romance.

REVIEW: Shades of Sepia by Laura M Baird

3/19/2019

Title: Shades of Sepia

Author: Laura M Baird

Genre: Romance, Contemporary, Erotic

TBR Reviewer: Bella

Rating: 4 Stars - Highly Recommended Read

Heat: 4/5 - Smoking Hot

If your looking for an erotic treat, stop right here at Shades of Sepia. Tasha and Marcus are friends but what happens when they become more?

I’ll tell you what happens, lots and lots and lots of sex. Hot sweaty sex all over the place. In between the heat there is a short story about Tasha being torn between two men. Marcus is devastated when he finds Tasha with another man. Heartbroken but still completely in love, he forgives her very quickly and the story has a happily ever after. It’s a little too quick, if the story was flesh out, I think it would have been such a great contemporary read. Overall, Shades of Sepia is an erotic ride that would be great for couples to read together.

REVIEW: The Beast in the Suit by Elena Kincaid

Title: The Beast in the Suit

Author: Elena Kincaid

Genre: Fairytale, Romance, Erotic,

TBR Reviewer: Bella Star

Rating: 5 Stars - A Must read

Heat: 4/5 - Smoking hot

A fairytale with a twist…

Emeline is dealing with a heartbreaking past and a dark future. When she meets Adam, there’s nothing but chaos and arguments and … perhaps love?

Emeline has been through so much! I felt so bad for what the author put her through and yet, I had to read about her happy ending. I just had to! Adam is offering to help her and pride keeps Emeline from accepting. Plus, they meet in a cemetery which for sure is an awkward start, makes for a great story though. I loved this twist on a classic tale. The chemistry between Emeline and Adam is so damn sexy! It’s such a, well, it’s a rollercoaster of emotions and events. I really couldn’t put this book down!

The Beast in a Suit is a must read!

REVIEW: Jonny by Lynn Burke

Title: Jonny

Author: Lynn Burke

Genre: Romance, Paranormal, Erotic

TBR Reviewer: Bella Star

Rating: 4/5 - Highly Recommended Read

Heat: 4/5 - Smoking Hot

Alpha’s and MC’s, you really can’t go wrong! Jonny doesn’t get distracted by women, until Alexa. She’s running from a dangerous ex but the man who wraps his arms around her might be just as much trouble.

I haven’t read the previous books in the series but I had no problem following along with the story. Alexa is a woman who needs help and my heart ached for her. Her ex is a bastard and won’t let her go. When she does find help, it’s from Jonny and the alpha is all sorts of sexy. I loved their chemistry together. It definitely heats up the pages! I do wish there was a bit more creativity and uniqueness with the world building. The ending is sweet and exciting and satisfying.

If you like sexy men saving the day, then Jonny is a highly recommended read!
