I read this book in one sitting, and talk about CLIFF HANGER! 

Wow. This was another great book by Sloan Storm. 
With each book we dig deeper into the characters personalities, and I have to say, Maddie comes off as a spoiled brat! 
Grey is giving her everything that she needs to be a successful business woman and she resents him for it! She's on a route to self destruction... will she make it this time, or will Grey once again step in and save the day? 

 Grey is fighting for control, not only over Maddie, but for his feelings towards her. He desperately wants to keep her at arms length as he's done with every other woman in his past, but she's working her way into his heart and he doesn't know how to deal with that. This is the most emotional book in the series so far. Raw passion, depression, love, desperation...

Sloan Storm is a verbally difficult, yet physically generous, writer who pens imaginative yarns based on dominant men and the women who challenge them. As such, power plays and passion are the heart of each and every story. The writer's creative tendencies may drift as the mood strikes, but the essence of all tales told wind up back at the same place... the polarizing difference between the sexes.

After all, what else is there in life?

Review: Billionaire's Threat (Never Never Man #4) Sloan Storm

Billionaire's Threat
Never Never Man
book 4
Sloan Storm




I received this book in return for an honset review. 
 
I've been hooked on this series from the very first page.

In this installment Maddie faces some tough decisions, and as we follow her on the emotional roller coaster I find myself warming up to Katy, her best friend. In previous books I got a strange vibe from her, like she was out for herself, but in this one she is finally there for Maddie when she really needs it.

Grey is also faced with some difficult decisions, and when Maddie goes MIA again he can't take it. Frustrated, he hunts down Katy and demands answers - when he finally finds Miaddie his mind is blown and he doesn't know how to handle it!

We are left with a huge cliffhanger and I can't wait to find out what happens.

I gave this book 4 stars because it wasn't as compelling as the previous books in the serial. The pace seems to slow a bit, and it skips forward in time in several places which threw me off. I also think Maddie acts like a child in this particular book; She needs to grow up and learn how to handle situations like an adult. 


Review: Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter by Nikki Jefford

Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter
book 1
Nikki Jefford

YA/NA Paranormal



If there is one thing eighteen-year-old Aurora Sky wants, it's to get off the iceberg she calls home. Being kissed before she graduates wouldn't hurt either.

Then a near-fatal car wreck changes everything. Government agents step in and save Aurora's life in exchange for her services as a vampire hunter. In Alaska. Basically she's a glorified chew toy. All thanks to her rare blood type, which sends a vampire into temporary paralysis right before she has to finish the job... by hand.

Now Aurora's only friends are groupies of the undead and the only boy she can think about may very well be a vampire.

(Mature YA, new adult series that becomes progressively more mature. Underage drinking, sexual situations, mild language and blood sucking.)



Review:

I really enjoyed this book, finished it in one sitting!

I haven't read a YA book in quite a while, it was refreshing to read a book that didn't have sex in every chapter, which seems to be the new trend in adult books...

It's nice to see an author with an original idea; Or at least a different twist on one.

As the story progresses you see the characters develop and flourish. There isn't an over abundance of detail, but just enough to paint the picture and let your mind do the rest. The book is filled with a mix of humor, sarcasm, action, danger and even a little romance.

Add in obstacles like dysfunctional families and friends, sketchy government agents, Frankenstein-like experiments, vampires, hunters, and of course teenage lust - and you've got the makings of a great series!

I also really liked the setting. Alaska isn't a place I read about in books too often.

I can't wait to start the second book in the series! (mostly because of the crazy ending to this one... I must know what happens next!)

Review: This Round for Love (Champion Hearts #2) Malia Mallory

This Round For Love
Champion Hearts
book 2
Malia Mallory

erotic romance 




Will Ford's obsession with victory ruin his chances with Darcy? 

 
From NYT and USAT Bestselling Author Malia Mallory
 
When Darcy Winthrop travels to Miami to organize a mixed martial arts event, she imagines sunshine, sand and maybe even a holiday fling if she stumbles across the right guy.
What she finds is a sexy brawler with something to prove.
Ford Cooper's a man on a mission. MMA made him a star, but a major injury put him in the "has-been" category. He's determined to fight his way back to the top one punch at a time and love is a distraction he doesn't want.
Now Darcy's in for a fight—a fight to keep Ford in the ring without breaking her heart.



Review:
 
I received a free copy from the author for an honest review.

I finished this book in one sitting, it felt like only minutes!

I loved the story line, it was reasonable, unlike a lot of the books I've read lately where it's so outlandish it would never really happen! The characters are well developed, but not overly detailed. You know enough to make it a great read, but not so much that it's pointless detail.

You have Darcy, a strong confident woman, former pro tennis player, and hotel events planner.
We also have Ford, a previous MMA champion recently recovered from an injury and looking to get back on top.
Ford doesn't want any distractions, but can't help but notice Darcy. Darcy is looking to get over her previous relationship while she's in Miami managing the event. What they find in each other is surprising to them both.

This story is full of action, emotion and some sarcasm. I really enjoyed it.
This is listed as a book 2, but it can be read as a stand-alone. I didn't read book one and didn't feel like I missed out on anything!

The book had great flow and kept the pages turning, but I feel like the ending was rushed, or things were left unfinished. It just didn't feel like a completed story.

Review: Captivated by You (Crossfire #4) Sylvia Day

Captivated by You
Crossfire Series
book 4
Sylvia Day

 


Now the #1 international bestselling author returns. The new Crossfire novel by Sylvia Day.

Gideon calls me his angel, but he's the miracle in my life. My gorgeous, wounded warrior, so determined to slay my demons while refusing to face his own.

The vows we'd exchanged should have bound us tighter than blood and flesh. Instead they opened old wounds, exposed pain and insecurities, and lured bitter enemies out of the shadows. I felt him slipping from my grasp, my greatest fears becoming my reality, my love tested in ways I wasn't sure I was strong enough to bear.

At the brightest time in our lives, the darkness of his past encroached and threatened everything we'd worked so hard for. We faced a terrible choice: the familiar safety of the lives we'd had before each other or the fight for a future that suddenly seemed an impossible and hopeless dream...



Review: 

This was another awesome book by Sylvia Day! I couldn't put it down!

I usually do not care for dual POV books, but in this case it was perfect. Hearing the story from Gideon's side made the book all the more interesting! This book focuses more on the emotional side of their relationship.

Now that they are secretly married, hiding it from the world, especially their friends and family, is causing tension. With each new book, the couple faces new threats. Shadows from Gideon's past come back to haunt them, and they've all figured out that Eva is his only weakness! But when Eva's rock star ex boyfriend decides he wants her back it send Gideon over the deep end.

He'll do anything to keep her safe and in his arms!

This book takes us on an emotional roller coaster, and I can't wait for the next one! 


 

Review: Billionaire's Caress, and Billionaire's Kiss by Sloan Storm

 

Billionaire's Caress
Never Never Man Series
book 2
Sloan Storm

Erotic Romance




I should have known better. A deal struck with a man like Grey Sinclair comes with strings. And even though he hasn't tied me up, yet, it's not long before I find myself wrapped around his little finger.

I'm finding success at last, but it comes at a price... his. I'm not sure how much longer I can pay it.

In fact, I feel as if I'm reaching a point of no return.

So why does a part of me enjoy it?




Review:

This was another great book by Sloan Storm!

Billionaire's Caress picks up shortly after Billionaire's Pursuit ends.
Maddie has moved her business into a large office space, hired some new staff members, and she has a brand new luxury apartment that Grey frequents from time to time.

You'd think she would be happy, but borrowing money from Grey Sinclaire turns out to be more than she bargained for. Despite her finding a way around him owning 51% of her company, Grey is still controlling her every move. He's trying to teach her how to be a better business woman, but she's tired of him stepping in for every decision!

While she's frustrated with him over the business, she can't get enough of him in the bedroom. Their sexual chemistry is off the charts, and as Grey tries to keep her at arms length, Maddie is trying hard not to fall in love with him!

Review: Billionaire's Pursuit by Sloan Storm


Billionaire's Pursuit
Never Never Man, book 1
Sloan Storm

Erotic Romance



Recently dumped by my ex, I found myself broke and jobless after five years of chasing stardom in Hollywood. Desperate, I took the advice of my best friend and roommate, Katy, and started my own business in a last ditch effort to prevent a full on meltdown into bankruptcy.

Little did I expect my first client to be a man like Grey Sinclair. Young, rich and cruelly handsome, he had a reputation for making women squirm in his presence. When I first saw his image in a photo, I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel an irritating stir in places I shouldn't have.

Even so, if I failed at making a good impression on him, it could not only mean the end of my business but all my dreams as well. With that much on the line, I would have no problem keeping my urges in check.

Right?





Review:

New author Sloan Storm is going to make a name for herself with this series.

I couldn't put this book down! It drew me in early and kept me turning the page until I was done, and then it left me wanting more!

Billionaire business man, Grey Sinclaire, and start-up business owner Maddie Olsen immediately bump heads, and yet have an electric attraction to each other. As things continue to go wrong for Maddie and her first client she is discouraged, but Mr. Sinclaire always gets what he wants, and this time is no different. He's got his eye on one thing and nothing will stop him from achieving it.

This book is full of witty banter and sarcasm. I loved it! It is definitely not in the same category as all the other Billionaire books that have a pitiful attempt at a story and are just filled with random sex scenes. This book actually has an awesome story with great characters.

I've already downloaded and started the second part!!

This is a serial series, meaning each book is one part of the story, and together they create a whole. So beware of cliffhangers!
The best part about it, you don't have to wait a year for a new release, they are only a few weeks apart.

I never let anyone get too close—but he’s the only man who’s ever made me feel alive.
