REVIEW: ***Stage Left (Bright Lights Billionaire Book 1) by Ali Parker***

STAGE LEFT BY ALI PARKER
Series: Bright Lights Billionaire Book 1
Format: Ebook
Pages: 144

From Best Selling Author, Ali Parker comes a new Billionaire Series filled with sexiness, humor and intense attraction...

Ethan Lewis has been in the bright lights for as long as he can remember. He's just turned the cusp of celebrating his twenty-fourth birthday, and yet he feels more like eighty. Living the life of a celebrity isn't all it is chalked up to be, and dealing with the unruly number of women who are more interested in his billions than who he is as a person is getting old. He has resigned himself to giving up on love and focusing on the only thing that truly gives back - his career.

Riley Phillips has always dreamed of being on a big stage with the warmth of the spotlight baring down on her, but she just couldn't seem to catch the right agent's attention. After giving a quick commencement speech as Valedictorian of her graduating class at Billmore High, she's offered something she can't refuse... The chance to work in Hollywood. It's not all it's chalked up to be, but she works hard and finally gets her big break four years down the line. There is a new movie that her agent wants her to audition for, and her co-star? The dreamy Ethan Lewis.

She scores the part, but soon regrets it due to his callous, overbearing persona. He's nothing like the public touts, and she for one isn't impressed.

Funny enough, he is - immensely.

This is book 1 in a continued series.

18+ Explicit sexual content and possible foul language.


RATING: 5 STARS 
THERESA'S REVIEW: Completely fell hard for Ethan and Riley's story! I simply could not put this down once I picked it up. I planned on reading a few chapters before bed, but I engulfed every single delicious chapter in one sitting. The push and pull between these characters is real, frustrating, but oh so good! 
I loved going through the ups and downs with these characters. This book made me smile, laugh, cringe, and then finally want to break my reading device in two. However, in the end I'm glad I didn't because I'll need it for the second book. That ending though... Loved it! Not to mention that heated audition scene. Wow! I quickly recovered from the sadness that I hit the end of the book once my mind ran wild with the realization of where this series is headed. Stage Left is exciting and worth every page. 
This is my first book by Ali Parker who kindly sent me an advance review copy in exchange for my honest review. My honest review says that Ali Parker now has me twisted around her little pinkie finger. Thanks for making me wait and suffer for book two Ali Parker! Lol! Not cool! But, I love you for writing this book! You can find me waiting in the audition lines for book two! This is my honest review of Stage Left by Ali Parker! 
Must Read!

REVIEW: ***Keeley's Fight (Book 1 of The Protectors Series) by K.L Donn***

KEELEY'S FIGHT BY K.L. DONN:
Format: Ebook, 203 Pages.
Publication Date: August 5th, 2015
Heartache and betrayal are two things Keeley Stone is very familiar with. Born into a life she never wanted, betrayed by her own parents, she never saw a way out. Until one day, two men who know nothing of her or her life step up and protect her when she’s in need of a savior. 

Loyalty and respect are not just something earned for brothers Nathaniel and Tyler Maxwell, but a code they live by. A chance encounter with a gorgeous young woman has left them enthralled with her.

Can they convince her they’re worth fighting for? Or will she let demons of her past control her future? 

Note: This is a stand alone HEA M/F/M contemporary romance novel. There is no touching for titillation between brothers. 
This is a full length novel at 50000 words.

RATING: 4.25 STARS 
REVIEW: I loved this author's debut! This story really drew me in from the first page. I meant to only read a few pages before bed, but found myself 55% finished before my eyes were sagging and I simply couldn't continue anymore. Keeley's introduction was so heartbreaking. The author did a wonderful job making the reader understand Keeley's Fight, so it was easy to connect with Keeley and her story. Her parents were abusive, but Keeley's circumstances changed once she met the two brother's whom vowed to protect her. They both become her lovers.
If you like steamy reads, this author nailed it.
My only complaint is that I would have liked for the author to go into a little more depth in some areas to make this book longer (that is me being greedy, hahaha). However, this is a fast moving book that covers a lot of ground during these pages. I was happy for Keeley in the end, but sad that her story was over. I would love to read more about Keeley's character. I thought that this trilogy was going to be all about Keeley, but it's not. I was a bit sad about that, but now it makes sense why the book progressed and ended the way it did. I won this entire trilogy in a giveaway on Facebook, but that fact has not influenced my review in any way. Keeley's Fight is a unique story that I highly recommend! I have book two locked and loaded and can't wait to start it. 
This book is well-written and worth the time investment. Emotions run wild while reading this book! Probably not a book for sensitive readers in my opinion. However, if you are okay with sensitive topics that make some readers uncomfortable, I'd definitely recommend reading this one. This is a story about love, loss, and second chances. Most definitely a memorable debut from this author, so read it! This is my honest review of Keeley's Fight.

REVIEW: ***SHADES OF SYDNEY*** BY BRITTNEY COON

SHADES OF SYDNEY BY BRITTNEY COON:

Sydney West enjoys sampling summer boys, but this year, one refuses to be a one-night stand… 

Twenty-one-year-old Sydney doesn’t believe in relationships. Her parents’ toxic divorce has taught her love is nothing but a sinister fairytale. So every summer she parties, hooks up, abandons her lover before dawn, and repeats. 

That is until she meets gorgeous local surfer Jason King at the beach… 

When Jason fails to flirt—or even give her a second glance—she decides something must be wrong with him, and it’s safer to stay away. But when Sydney and Jason’s best friends hook up and become Malibu’s hottest couple, they are forced to spend more time together than either of them cares for. 

Armed with a sharp tongue, Sydney works to keep Jason at bay…

In a moment of weakness, Sydney lets her guard down and confides in Jason, realizing he’s more than just a hot guy—he’s also a friend. And when Sydney’s need for a summer boy results in her falling into bed with Jason, despite her better judgment, she runs away from him by morning. 

The problem is, he won’t accept being another one-night stand, and will do anything to prove… 

Love really does exist.

RATING: 4 stars

SUNNI'S REVIEW: I was given the ebook in exchange for an honest review. I loved this book it's a beautifully romantic story. The main character is Sydney and she has quite the personality she is very closed off when it comes to the idea of love and also has rules that she won't let anyone get close enough to her and engages instead in one night stands. Sydney's best friend ends up with a new man of her own who has a friend named Jason who is the most kind caring man and just may break down those solid walls Sydney has had in place all of her life. I loved the characters and thought the dialogue was very witty. Great job by Brittany Coon I look forward to the next of her works to release! I rate this book 4 stars and think it's appropriate for Young adults. Great love story!

REVIEW: ***One Week Girlfriend by Monica Murphy***

ONE WEEK GIRLFRIEND BY MONICA MURPHY: 
Paperback155 pages
Published January 10th 2013 by Monica Murphy 

Temporary. That one single word best describes my life these last few years. I’m working at a temporary job until I can finally break free. I’m my little brother’s temporary mother since our mom doesn’t give a crap about either of us. And I’m that temporary girl all the guys want to get with because I give it up so easily. According to the rumors, at least.

But now I’m the temporary girlfriend of Drew Callahan, college football legend and all around golden guy. He’s beautiful, sweet—and he’s hiding way more secrets than I am. He’s brought me into this fake life where everyone seems to hate me. And everyone seems to want something from him. The only thing he seems to want though is…

Me.

I don’t know what to believe anymore. All I know is, I think Drew needs me. And I want to be there for him.

Forever.

RATING: 4 stars 

REVIEW: 


I won a copy of One Week Girlfriend by Monica Murphy in a giveaway for free on Goodreads, First Reads. I was delighted to find myself blazing through this steamy read. I flew through this book and found that the characters were not only memorable but likable, too. Though some of the plot twists were easy to see coming, I still loved the whammy at the end.
This book was hard to put down once getting sucked into the story, so I look forward to learning more about Drew and Fable in book two. Definitely curious about what other twisted plots this author will come up with in her other books. Every time I hear the word, "MARSHMALLOW," I will think of this story. Hahaha, loved it! Yeah, just an inside thing, but read it to find out. Just saying! ;)
This is my first book by Author Monica Murphy, and grateful to have been introduced to Drew and Fable's story via Goodreads, First Reads.
Looking for a fast, fun, twisted, steaming hot read? Read One Week Girlfriend! Recommended!

REVIEW: The Girl with All the Gifts by M.R. Carey

THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS BY M.R. CAREY:

Melanie is a very special girl. Dr. Caldwell calls her "our little genius."

Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class. When they come for her, Sergeant Parks keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh.

Melanie loves school. She loves learning about spelling and sums and the world outside the classroom and the children's cells. She tells her favorite teacher all the things she'll do when she grows up. Melanie doesn't know why this makes Miss Justineau look sad.

RATING: 4.5 stars
REVIEW: I mean... I devoured this book in only two sittings. Loved every mysterious and suspenseful moment of it. Definitely looking forward to the release of book 2 this year. One thing I appreciated about this book was that there was hardly any romance. Don't get me wrong because I love having some romance in my books, but sometimes it's nice not to have it dominate a story. There is a love interest between the pages, but it doesn't consume the wonderful story inside.  
The narration reminds me of What Happened to my Sister by Elizabeth Flock. Completely different, but both are highly recommendable! I knew nothing about the book going in and it's probably best going in that way on this one. Great story- READ THIS!

REVIEW: Broken Skies by Theresa Kay

BROKEN SKIES BY THERESA KAY: (FORMAT: AUDIO)

Thirty years ago, civilization collapsed. Few survived.
Ten years ago, the aliens arrived…and stayed.
One year ago, I killed two men and went a little crazy.
Today, the aliens took my brother and I will do anything to get him back.


In seventeen-year-old Jax Mitchell's world, humans are nearly extinct and alien settlers have arrived.

Until recently, the E’rikon have remained segregated in their city and ignored the few humans who have tried to engage them… but now they have taken Jax’s brother. To rescue him, she forms an uneasy alliance with a teenage E’rikon left stranded in the woods. She agrees to guide him to the city if he sneaks her past the human-proof barrier. Too bad it’s not that simple.

Jax, who cannot stand to be touched, finds that she’s drawn to the alien boy with bright green hair and jewel-like scales on his back. And he’s equally affected by her, the courageous redhead with haunted eyes. But she doesn’t know the alien’s true motives and he has no idea that she is much more than she seems.

With the aliens and the humans at odds, the connection forming between the two teens has consequences. What started off as a rescue mission sets a chain of events in motion which threatens not only the remaining humans and the growing alien society, but Earth itself.
 

RATING: 4.5 stars
REVIEW: If you think this sounds interesting or you enjoyed JLA's alien series, then I highly recommend that you try this book out. It's great! (don't get me wrong, Broken Skies definitely has it's own character to set it apart)
If you listen to audio books, I'd definitely recommended this in that format as well. (I listened to this one). Liked it enough to purchase the second one in the series (disappointed to learn book 2 is not in audio format yet).
This book made me smile a lot. Yet, it packs some moments that will make you hold your breath in anticipation. :)
Kinda cheesy at times, but not in an irritating way. :)
NOT GONNA LIE TO KICK IT...
LOVED IT! FUN & RECOMMENDABLE!
I cannot forget these characters! <3
Looking for a fun quick read with a little romance? this is it! :)

 SEMPRE BY J.M. DARHOWER:


THIS IS A STORY ABOUT SACRIFICE... DEATH... LOVE... FREEDOM. THIS IS A STORY ABOUT FOREVER.
Haven Antonelli and Carmine DeMarco grew up under vastly different circumstances. Haven, a second-generation slave, was isolated in the middle of the desert, her days full of hard work and terrifying abuse. Carmine, born into a wealthy Mafia family, lived a life of privilege and excess. Now, a twist of fate causes their worlds to collide. Entangled in a web of secrets and lies, they learn that while different on the surface, they have more in common than anyone would think. In a world full of chaos, where money and power rule, Haven and Carmine yearn to break free, but a string of events that began before either of them were born threatens to destroy them instead.
Murder and betrayal are a way of life, and nothing comes without a price-especially not freedom. But how much will they have to sacrifice? Can they escape their pasts? And, most of all, what does it mean to be free?

The electrifying sequel to Sempre! This is a story about loyalty and love. It is a story about finding redemption— even when all seems lost.

Swearing allegiance to the Mafia in order to save Haven Antonelli—the girl he loves—forces Carmine DeMarco to make the ultimate sacrifice. Sent to Chicago to work for La Cosa Nostra, he refuses to place Haven in harm’s way by taking her with him. She deserves a shot at a normal life. But as he becomes more and more immersed in a world of terrible crimes, he realizes that surviving without her may be more than he is able to bear. . . .

Stunned and hurt that Carmine has left her, Haven must now learn to make her way in the world without him. Her heart aches with the loss, but for the first time, she’s making her own choices and accomplishing dreams she never thought were within her reach. The past, however, is not done with either her or Carmine. As Haven discovers dark secrets about the family who enslaved her and her mother, and why she matters so much in this web of lies, she realizes what terrible pain may still lie in wait for her and the boy she loves. And what they must suffer to find redemption. . . .

 REBEL SPRING (#2) BY MORGAN RHODES:

The road to power... is paved with blood and magic.

Cleo
 is now a prisoner in her own palace, forced to be an ambassador for Mytica as the evil King Gaius lies to her people.
Magnus stands to eventually inherit the new kingdom but is still obsessed with his feelings for his adopted sister, Lucia.
Lucia is haunted by the outcome of the breathtaking display of magic that allowed her father to capture the kingdoms.
Jonas watched at the palace gates a troop of rebels behind him, waiting for him to tell them how he plans to overtake King Gaius.

After a bloody siege, Auranos has been defeated, its young queen orphaned and dethroned. The three kingdoms—Auranos, Limeros, and Paelsia—are now unwillingly united as one country called Mytica. But the allure of ancient, dangerous magic beckons still, and with it the chance to rule not just Mytica, but the whole world over...

At the heart of the fray are four brave young people grappling for that magic and the power it promises. For Cleo, the magic would enable her to reclaim her royal seat. In Jonas's hands, it frees his nation, and in Lucia's, it fulfills the ancient prophecy of her destiny. And if the magic were Magnus's, he would finally prove his worth in the eyes of his cruel and scheming father, King Gaius, who rules Mytica with a punishing hand.

When Gaius begins to build a road into the Forbidden Mountains to physically link all of Mytica, he sparks a long-smoking fire in the hearts of the people that will forever change the face of this land. For Gaius's road is paved with blood, and its construction will have cosmic consequences.

 GATHERING DARKNESS (#3) BY MORGAN RHODES: 

Love, vengeance, and greed spark a deadly quest for magic in the third book of the Falling Kingdoms series

Prince Magnus has just witnessed torture, death, and miracles during the bloody confrontation that decimated the rebel forces. Now he must choose between family and justice as his father, the cruel King Gaius, sets out to conquer all of Mytica. All Gaius needs now are the Kindred—the four elemental crystals that give godlike powers to their owner. But the King of Blood is not the only one hunting for this ancient, storied magic. . . .

THE KRAESHIANS join the hunt. Ashur and Amara, the royal siblings from the wealthy kingdom across the Silver Sea, charm and manipulate their way to the Kindred, proving to be more ruthless than perhaps even the King of Blood himself.

THE REBELS forge ahead. Princess Cleo and vengeful Jonas lead them, slaying with sweetness, skill, and a secret that can control Lucia’s overpowering magic—all so they can use the Kindred to win back their fallen kingdoms.

THE WATCHERS follow Melenia out of the Sanctuary. They ally in the flesh with King Gaius, who vows to use Lucia’s powers to unveil the Kindred.

The only certainty in these dark times is that whoever finds the magic first will control the fate of Mytica. . . . but the four element gods of the Kindred have other plans.

Living the life of a celebrity isn’t all it is chalked up to be, and dealing with the unruly number of women who are more interested in his billions than who he is as a person is getting old.

War has begun. Arin is in the thick of it with untrustworthy new allies and the empire as his enemy. Though he has convinced himself that he no longer loves Kestrel, Arin hasn’t forgotten her, or how she became exactly the kind of person he has always despised. She cared more for the empire than she did for the lives of innocent people—and certainly more than she did for him.

At least, that’s what he thinks.

In the frozen north, Kestrel is a prisoner in a brutal work camp. As she searches desperately for a way to escape, she wishes Arin could know what she sacrificed for him. She wishes she could make the empire pay for what they’ve done to her.

But no one gets what they want just by wishing.

As the war intensifies, both Kestrel and Arin discover that the world is changing. The East is pitted against the West, and they are caught in between. With so much to lose, can anybody really win?

Princess Aerity knows her duty to the kingdom but cannot bear the idea of marrying a stranger…until a brooding local hunter, Paxton Seabolt, catches her attention. There’s no denying the unspoken lure between them…or his mysterious resentment.

Paxton is not the marrying type. Nor does he care much for spoiled royals and their arcane laws. He’s determined to keep his focus on the task at hand—ridding the kingdom of the beast—but the princess continues to surprise him, and the perilous secrets he’s buried begin to surface.

Inspired by the Grimm Brothers’ tale “The Singing Bone,” New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins delivers a dark fantasy filled with rugged hunters, romantic tension, and a princess willing to risk all to save her kingdom.

WALK THE EDGE BY KATIE MCGARRY: RELEASING ON MARCH 29th, 2016. 

One moment of recklessness will change their worlds.

Smart. Responsible. That's seventeen-year-old Breanna's role in her large family, and heaven forbid she put a toe out of line. Until one night of shockingly un-Breanna-like behavior puts her into a vicious cyber-bully's line of fire—and brings fellow senior Thomas "Razor" Turner into her life. 

Razor lives for the Reign of Terror motorcycle club, and good girls like Breanna just don't belong. But when he learns she's being blackmailed over a compromising picture of the two of them—a picture that turns one unexpected and beautiful moment into ugliness—he knows it's time to step outside the rules. 

And so they make a pact: he'll help her track down her blackmailer, and in return she'll help him seek answers to the mystery that's haunted him—one that not even his club brothers have been willing to discuss. But the more time they spend together, the more their feelings grow. And suddenly they're both walking the edge of discovering who they really are, what they want, and where they're going from here.

OF COURSE WE CANNOT FORGET ABOUT LADY MIDNIGHT BY CASSANDRA CLARE: ALREADY RELEASED

The Shadowhunters of Los Angeles star in the first novel in Cassandra Clare’s newest series, The Dark Artifices, a sequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series. Lady Midnight is a Shadowhunters novel.

It’s been five years since the events of City of Heavenly Fire that brought the Shadowhunters to the brink of oblivion. Emma Carstairs is no longer a child in mourning, but a young woman bent on discovering what killed her parents and avenging her losses.

Together with her parabatai Julian Blackthorn, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches across Los Angeles, from the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica. If only her heart didn’t lead her in treacherous directions…

Making things even more complicated, Julian’s brother Mark—who was captured by the faeries five years ago—has been returned as a bargaining chip. The faeries are desperate to find out who is murdering their kind—and they need the Shadowhunters’ help to do it. But time works differently in faerie, so Mark has barely aged and doesn’t recognize his family. Can he ever truly return to them? Will the faeries really allow it?

Glitz, glamours, and Shadowhunters abound in this heartrending opening to Cassandra Clare’s Dark Artifices series.
