Incineration (Heart Of Stone)

Incineration ★★★

Main Characters: Ava Stone
                                   Mason Fox


   Sometimes, all life deals you is shit, you just have to learn to accept the hand you’re given and win…and win good!

   After a horrific childhood and a tragic incident whilst living on the streets, Ava Stone is taken in by George Fielding, a respected figure in London’s organised crime circle.
After a few years of being under George’s protection and care, Ava is employed by Mason Fox, when George suddenly decides to retire abroad.

   Mason is top of the ladder in the crime world and Ava finds herself equally frightened of him and intrigued by him. He brings out emotions and reactions Ava hasn’t felt in a very long time and soon the pair are utterly consumed in a passionate but toxic affair.

   Masons’ dominancy and need for control has Ava fighting against the things she swore would never hold her back from life, but she soon discovers that love and passion may not be enough to hold their turbulent relationship together and when a friend of Masons’ is gripped by a jealous rage, Ava finds herself relying and depending on the very parts of her old self that she locked away so securely five years ago along with desperately trying to shield her heart from Masons suffocating rule on her.

   Sometimes, Love is just that little bit too difficult


I didnt want to but i liked this book even though it gave me whip lash. So much happens in such a short time span. i found me self saying 'seriously' alot while reading this one.

 Mason and Ava falls in love almost over night. And every time they get into a 'row' she runs away... every single time!! It became annoying after a while. Ava's described as a strong willed character and yet as soon as love comes along it makes her weak?
Mason,  can keep his caveman like behavior, but id be willing to take everything else where ever he'd allow me to.. and further lol.
On a serious note.. although Masons described as a player he seemed almost desperate to make things work out with Ava no matter what the cost. Now thats not necessarily a bad thing i just hoped to see a lil resistance in the love factor given that this was all new to him. 
And when things seem to fall apart for the two of them it was literally one thing after another. 

In my opinion i think there was too many villains there was Rebecca who was there but at the same time wasn't...I wanted to hate but i  she didnt really do anything for me to hate her... and some of the other events in this book was dragged out.

Over all the story was good which is why i gave it three stars... but it could have been so much better.

Facing the Music By Nick Carter

Facing The Music ★★★★

I am a huge Backstreet Boys fan ever since when I was younger. I knew every word to every song on every album up until Black and Blue. (I still do) After that I sort of lost interest or maybe i just grew out of the boy band faze lol. Word got out that they were getting back together and I was over joyed. All the love I had for those guys came rushing back to me making me feel like a kid again... Then I heard Nick Carter wrote an autobiography/ self help book I new I had to read it. I was never a die a hard Nick Carter fan per say, But I loved him just the same.


Nick Carter now 33 years old, opens up about what it was like growing up as a pop star, his struggles with substance & alcohol abuse, his family troubles and the death of his sister Leslie Carter.

I love when celebrities writes self help books... even if you yourself dont take any of their advice you know someone reading that book will take heed to their advice. And that in it self is a beautiful thing.

Reading this book I can feel the love in his words. He never points fingers blaming any one person for all hes endured. Hes simply trying to guide others struggling with the same demons down the right path.

The writing per say wasn't that great and there was alot of repetition withing the book but he did get his point across. and for that he get 4 stars!!

Keep up the good work Nick!! 

*A BSB fan for life*

Beauty and The Bad Boy

Beauty and the Bad Boy ★★★★

My Thoughts on Beauty and the Bad Boy... Dakotahas been through so much tragedy in her short life, more than any one person should have to endure. She has worked hard and has earned her degree and become a professor by the time she is 21 and love is the last thing on her list of priorities. Dakota inherited a ’68 Mustang which needs a tune up. She knows the best place to take it is motorcycle clubs shop in the Ghetto, a place people from the Heights don’t go.

Jake is a sex god mechanic in the motorcycle club. He too has seen his share of tragedy. He’s had his share of women but hasn’t “noticed” a woman in years, until a ’68 Mustang pulls into the shop and out steps Dakota.

This is an incredible love story about two people who never thought they would find happiness. The story portrays the dirty side of the motorcycle club and the struggles these two people go through to make their unorthodox relationship work. Can Dakota live with what Jake must do for his club? Can Jake put Dakota through those life changing decisions? This story is gritty, exciting, sexy and a must read! 4 stars!

Nice Girl

Nice Girl ★★★★

   Grace Locke has always been known as the nice girl with in her group of friends, empathetic to those around her as well as acting as the mediator when problems arise. She has just graduated from college and wants to become a college professor. Grace has always wanted to work in Criminal Justice and feels teaching is her best option. She is nervous however to enter this male dominated field, Grace doesn’t have a lot of confidence around men. 

   Realizing she needs to become a confidant, independent woman in order to succeed in her chosen career she decides to move from her small town in Massachusetts to New York City to work on this while she completes her graduate and doctorate degrees. 

 Once she has settled into her new place she needs to find a job and get to know her new neighborhood. She finds her favorite coffee house and stumbles upon a help wanted sign nearby. She is hired as the office manager for A&V Private Investigations on the spot. This is her perfect opportunity to work on her confidence, the company is owned by to dominant males; Anthony who “is sort of an exhibitionist” and Vinnie, “the largest man (she’d) ever seen up close” “he’s such a cold hearted bastard sometimes” and has “no respect at all for women”, he’s the type to use ‘em and lose ‘em. Vinnie poses the biggest challenge to Grace, can she work with this man on a daily bases and be strong? She’s not sure, he seems to bring out a side of her she never know the “damsel in distress”. 

 Over the months Grace learns about Vinnie’s childhood and what has made him into the man he is today. She also learns that she is falling for him. Vinnie has never had a relationship but he finds himself wanting more with Grace. The book takes us on through the roller-coaster ride of their relationship. Is he good enough for her? Can he change? Can she accept his past and the way he has treated women? The sexual tension woven through this story had me on edge to the last page. So many times these two would come close and then one of them would get scared and back off.

    This is a well written story about love, patience and learning. The author has at least 3 other books planned for this series and I look forward to reading them. There were many small editing errors mistakes that some might miss. I give this book 4 stars and would highly recommend it to those who enjoy romance and erotic books.

Real by Katy Evans

Real 

Main Characters: Remington Riptide Tate

                                     Brooke Dumas

hold on let me catch my breath!!!

Real starts off with Brooke and her best friend Melanie to an underground fight. Being that Brooke has just started off her new career in Sport Rehabilitation  she decides to use this as an opportunity to pass out cards and get her name out. What she wasn't expecting was to meet Remington Tate.

From that moment on Remy and Brooke's story takes off on the most sexually frustrating ride you'll never want to get off of

Remy is a man of few words but when he does speak he makes you feel like you're a Queen to be worshiped. 

The energy Remys character pulls you feel it from the very beginning and you fall hopelessly in love with him in that instant.

Unlike so many books ive read Brooke held her own she was a strong willed character with her own issues of course but she was far from a damsley in distress which i have to say i absolutely loved.

Brooke describes her love for Remy:

"Hes not just the star, hes the whole fucking sky to me. He's the sun and every planet in this galaxy"

Through out the who book kept wondering why's the book called 'Real'... but once he said this I was completely undone and of course no longer wondered
an I absolutely can't wait for 'Mine'

"I dont want to be yours... I want to be your real"

Of all the books I have read (and I read a lot) I have to say Remy is by far the best alpha male I have come across since Christian Grey!! 

Since reading Real two things are still true to date: 1) I can never listen to 'Iris' without thinking of Remy & 2) I will never ever see or read about another boxer without thinking of Remy

This is one book id sure hope to see on the big screen one day

Cant Go HOME... by Angelisa Stone cover reveal

Romance, Erotica & Darkness oh my!!: Cant Go HOME... by Angelisa Stone cover reveal: Cant go home The author was kind enough to let me read  snippet of this book,and what little i read left me begging for more....

Give these actors a chance

Since the word got out FSOG was headed to the big screen fans all over the world has voiced there opinions on who should and shouldn't be casted at Christian and Ana through countless polls blogs and social media.

Yesterday the casting news we've all be waiting for has finally been revealed. Charlie and Dakota Johnson has been chosen for the lead role! While they might not have been FSOG fans first pick (my self included) I personally cannot wait to see what they bring to the table.

But what saddens me is the negative feed back ive seen on twitter, facebook and even this site. While its ok for you to voice your opinion, it is us fans that is going to support the movie after all, it is not ok to negatively bash an actor because he isnt your first choice. If you are truly a FSOG fan you owe it to yourself to get to know theses actors. Research some of there work, im sure they both have twitter/facebook accounts follow them get to know them as a person. It just might help you understand why they were chosen for the roles.

When i was younger my mother always told me if you don't have anything nice to say DON'T SAY ANYTHING!!

I think you should keep that in mind before you bash someone you may or may not know nothing about.
