Eighth Note By Kimberly Stedronsky

Eighth Note ★★★★★

Kimberly had done it again, she has stolen my heart. I have told her and I say it all the time, I am NOT a fan the paranormal genre but I stumbled upon Roam (another wonderful book by this author) a few months ago and fell in love!

Eighth Note picks up 18 months after the end of Reign (the last book in the Roam series). Eva Reed is living in North Carolina with her husband Will and their daughter Perry. She board and restless. Since she loves music so much Eva has created a wildly popular music blog named Fire Ballad but even that is not enough. She longs to use her magic; she even misses being Queen in Icepond. Than one day Cole Mathison shows up needing her help. A singer Eva recently interviewed has died and Cole believes there is a paranormal explanation. Little did they know what was in store for them! Eva’s relationship with Will will be tested as well as her sanity and her strength. Oh and I can’t forget the sex, hot!!!

I HIGHLY recommend this book, but you should really read the Roam series first so that you know all the players and the background story! (Roam, Fall, Rise, Rule, Rush, West and Reign). Kimberly is a fantastic writer and I look forward to the next book in this series. But please don’t let my secret out, I’m really not a paranormal fan!

Cant Go Home By Angelisa Stone

Cant Go Home ★★★★★

Main characters: Dre Donely

                                    Kathryn Howell

I fell in love with the main characters from the moment i met them....

Kathryn Howell is described as a beautiful dark haired  honorable , kind and unbelievably selfless woman with an angelic  girl-next-door looks an a nonsense attitude. and she can see through the bullshit games men play in order to get what they want. which is why she usually goes for the shy quiet  ambitious intelligent men. Until she crossed paths with Dre Donely.

Dre Donely is polity gentle, grateful and definitely not hard on the eyes ... the word around town is hes the a gift from the unknown.  The men in the town all wish they were him and all the women what to be with him.  Although they all believe hes unattainable and uninterested. which he is... until the day he sets his sites on Kathryn Howell.

Dre  goes out of his way to make Kathryn 'His', which she doesn't make an easy on him. But the more she tries to push him away the harder he fights for her. (my kinda man)

Kathryn quickly finds her self completely smitten by Dres charm. but just as things begins to heat up for these two Dres past reveals a huge secret that can either make them stronger or ruin them forever.

To say i loved this book is and understatement!! The best way to describe this book is originally breath takenly beautiful. Cant go home is not like any other book I've ever read.  Angelisa Stone has the ability to drawn you in with this captivating suspenseful joy ride of a story that you'll never what to get off. There are a few twists in this book that you'll never see coming. Like the title for instance... half way through the book it didn't make sense to me... but once it did i found my self singing  Bon Jovi's Who says you cant go home' lol

5 stars doesn't do this book justice!! if you love originality and romance an hotter than hot steamy sex this is the book for you!! Who am i kidding no matter what your book preference is this is the book for you!! pick it up today... you wont regret it!!

Fallen For You By Carlie Sexton

Fallen for you ★★★★

    If you believe your life is the sum total of your choices, what do you do when things just don’t add up? You are about to find out. It won’t be pretty. It won’t be dull. And surely, it won’t be safe. In fact, making just one wrong choice could put evil at your bedside watching you sleep.

    And so it is with Kate Simmons, a young woman who, by choosing to regain her life, actually puts it at risk by the very choices she makes. After unimaginable heartbreak stops her world on a dime, Kate falls into a three-year blackness of self blame that brings her to the edge of life, itself. As time finally brings light back through tiny cracks of renewed desire, Kate moves out of the prison she made for herself in her mother’s home to find a new reality, rooming with her best girlfriend, Charlie.

    Yet, to be free is to be vulnerable, and Kate’s choices more than ever mark a splattered line between being happy and being dead.

Care to choose? Here’s your menu:
A strangely alluring building manager so possessed with wanting you for his own, he’ll bury more than the fact he has a girlfriend; a buff college student for whom you are clearly hot, as are all the other girls on campus; a pushy lawyer who is as handsome as he is intoxicated with conquest, who doesn’t take no for an answer, who gets what he wants — always.

Sometimes, it’s whom you choose. Sometimes, it’s who chooses you. If you’re Kate, it’s both, and it puts you on a perilous road where good looks and humor are the thin masks of jealous delusion and utter violence.

You’re in trouble when the sum total of your choices is written in blood red.

Three men:

Roger, although hes described as a handsome man I could only picture him as the creepy guy from 'the lovely bones' lol This guys actions was off the charts creepy!!

Neil,  overly sweet yet very persistent drop dead gorgeous man who is will to say and do anything to get his way

Mark, A very handsome, sweet talking womanizer who clams to only have eyes for Kate.

One stalker:

All three of these men will stop at nothing to have kate for him self but only one takes things a little bit to far

For me Fallen for you started off very slow and it initially took me sometime to get into this book. But once Kate realized she was being stalked things seemed to heat up. And i was drawn into the story.

I did however feel like the story was a tad bit chaotic. Every character told there side of the story which made it just a bit confusing on who was speaking at that moment.  That did not how ever take away from the suspense, and the major twist i surely didnt see coming...

4 stars for Fallen For You!!  

Heels of Love by Phoenix Rayne

★★★★

      

    Eugenia (Cricket) Hooper has just left her third fiancé at the altar. She has never lived in the Pacific Northwest before so when her best friend offers her a place to stay and a job she can’t refuse. Cricket is used to running and relocating, she doesn’t stay in one place for very long. Cricket has a past she’d rather forget. Once she arrives in Seattle she wants to get to know her new home and decides to take a drive. A sudden storm blinds her and she becomes lost and stuck in the mud on private property. She has seen one too many horror movies so when she sees a tall, dark, handsome man she assumes the worst, her life is over!




Jameson (Jyme) Samson has only been with one woman in all his life and she tore his heart out and smashed it to bits last year. He’s built like an Adonis but he has inherited the family trait and Elle just couldn’t handle it and now no other woman on the reservation will look at him. Grandma assures him there is someone out there for him, after all his grandfather and father both found women who could get past the family trait. She knows that his love will come from a far off land and will be everything he needs. But Jyme too has secrets; will he be able to trust a woman again? Can he let her know about his life, will his mother ever accept a stranger?




To be honest, I had a hard time getting into this book in the beginning. Despite that fact I couldn’t put the book down. The plot intrigued me, what where these two hiding? Would Cricket be able to get past the family trait, how many women could? This story had so many twists and turns and by the end I sat there thinking “I did not see that coming!” and the ending had me crying “NOOOOO”. I also love that the main character is a confidant size 18 woman. So many women are not twigs and finding a book that portrays the large size well is a real treat. Phoenix Rayne defiantly has a gift for unusual plots and I see her doing very well. This book is not your typical love story and I recommend it to those who love romance. I give Heels of Love 4 stars.

I was never a fan of rock bands or music. But reading this book made me wish I was at one of the sinners concerts rocking out to their music, sreaming out 'I love you' to the band, throwing my panties at the guys on the stage... ok maybe im exaggerating a little there... or am I?

I need to take a minute to praise olivia cunning on her amazing writing skills. I have read a book that made me change my panties after every sex scene... Every single one!!.. each one hotter than the last. And ive learned a trick or two I cant wait to try out ;^)

What is there not to love about this book.. 5 stars just isnt enough to rate this book an if youve read any of my other reviews youd know I dont say that often.

Now im off to find out more about these sinners.

Hers to choose by Lizzy Ashworth

Hers to Choose ★★★★

Main Characters:  Bryn McClure

                                     Alex Cannon

                                     Dan Cannon

Bryn McClure has moved back to the family farm she inherited after her divorce. She is despite to save the farm from being foreclosed upon after refinancing to save her loser ex-husband. She had a job working for Brent Thomas, but he was holding her pay. She finally decides to rent the hunting cabin located on the property to cousins Alex and Dan Cannon. A mutual friend has asked if she would be interested in helping Dan out with a problem for a little extra money. In desperate need she agrees.

Alex Cannon is worried sick about his cousin Dan who is more like a brother to him. Dan is drowning his personal problems in pills and alcohol. After discussing the problem with a friend, it is suggested Dan may need to partake in some BDSM and domination to help him work through his issues and Bryn McClure is a willing submissive.

This arrangement is supposed to be strictly therapeutic, sex isn’t part of the deal and emotional involvement was never supposed to happen. Bryn loves the way Dan dominates her but he is a troubled man full of anger. Alex is someone she could care for but he says he’s involved plus Alex doesn’t understand her kink.

Alex is falling for Bryn, but she is loving her time with Dan and honestly he doesn’t get the domination submission aspect of their interactions. Can Bryn ever fall for him? What about Dan? How do they all fit together and how can this work?


This book is HOT. It is full of sex, kink and emotions. I give this book 4 hands down your pants especially the last chapter! This is a must read for erotica fans. Looking forward to the next one.

Unintentional Virgin By A.J Bennett

Unintentional Virgin ★★★★

Karma Points (what were her parents thinking?) is around the corner from her 20th birthday and she’s still a virgin. It’s not from lack of trying but the universe must be out to get her. Every time she gets close something goes wrong. One time the boy’s parents walked in on them, another boy stud her up, she just can’t seem to lose it! Her friend Eva has a plan, go to the club and hook up for a one night stand.



Once at the club Karma isn’t interested in much, one guy is drowning his sorrows and isn’t interested in meeting anyone. The bouncer caught her eye the moment she spotted him, he was “dark and delicious” he was “covered in tattoos (with) inky black hair … strong jawline and the palest blue eye’s” she’d ever seen. But there’s no way he would ever look twice at someone like her. She had a few extra pounds, mousy, frizzy hair, her eyes were too far apart and she had no self-esteem.



Jax has been helping out his brother-in-law at the club bouncing whenever he could. It was good money, easy work and a good way to spend his time, what else did he have to do since the disaster of his last relationship ended. His social life had been slow since then. Standing at the club door checking ID’s one night, Jax looks up and sees a girl with just the right amount of curves and the most amazing eye’s he’s ever seen.



Can Karma convince this hot hunk to be her first? Jax finds her intriguing especially later that night when she tells him she’s “came here to have her first one=night stand”! “Jesus that girl was going to give him a heart attack. She looked so sweet and innocent with those wide eyes and they she dropped (that) bomb”. Will this finally be her big night or will fate step in once again and stop her from having sex?





I enjoyed this story. It was mildly predictable but these two characters made me want to follow their story to the end. Jax is that guy women are always looking for, handsome, built and a really good guy. Karma is a young girl who has never been able to become what is expected of her, she doesn’t believe in happily ever after she just doesn’t want to die a virgin. It’s a nice story and I give it 4 stars.
