REVIEW - Snowed In with the Bad Boy by Sylvia Pierce

Release Date: December 2015

“Santa lost my address a long time ago, Cupcake. The only present you’re getting tonight is my face between your thighs.”

Former black ops mercenary Ronan Steel doesn’t do Christmas—not anymore. And he abso-f*ckin-lutely doesn’t do damsels in distress, banging on his door in the middle of a blizzard. Give her a ride? Hell, no. With her big blue eyes, innocent smile, and f*ck-me-senseless elf costume, that girl is nothing but trouble.

Sweet, sexy trouble that leaves him aching for a taste of what’s hidden under those candy-cane-striped tights…

Georgie Taylor will not miss another Taylor family Christmas—not after last year’s disaster, and especially not after shelling out $500 for the perfect elf costume. But a freak storm puts her holiday travel plans on ice, leaving her stranded at the secluded mountain cabin of a cocky, sexy-as-sin recluse who makes Scrooge look like a fuzzy pink teddy bear.

If only his filthy mouth didn’t make her so hot…

As the blizzard rages on, all Ronan wants for Christmas is to f*ck that good-girl smile right off Georgie’s face. And all Georgie wants is to punch Ronan in the snowballs... until he pins her down and gives her a full-blown Christmas miracle right there on the kitchen table…

High up in the Colorado Rockies, cabin fever never felt so good. But when Christmas morning dawns, what does Santa have in store for the naughty bad boy and his nice little elf?

** A sexy, standalone Christmas novella with an HFN and no cliffhanger! **

My Opinion  5 STARS
*My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This is the first book I have read from Sylvia Pierce and it certainly won't be the last after reading this HOT little number.

Ronan and Georgie do not hit it off straight away.  Georgie is dressed as an Elf and talks a lot, Ronan is ex military and has been retired for six months in his cabin on the outskirts of a town with his dog Bella where it is very quiet.

However the attraction is there right from the very moment they meet and it continues to sizzle every page thereafter.  This is a very sexy read that will make you wish that this was a fully-fledged book instead of a novella the writing is so good.  It really  draws you into the story and connect with the characters.

I will certainly be off downloading some more of her books :)

REVIEW - Serafina and the Psycho Sous-Chef (Serafina's, #4) by Marie Treanor

The Book
Release Date: 6 May 2014
Goodreads Link

A lust more addictive than spirits...

Whisky-swilling vampire Phil has his own reasons for returning to Edinburgh. They don't include rescuing beautiful amnesiac damsels in distress, and yet one night after escaping from an old enemy, that's exactly what he does. At first his motive is curiosity because of Linnie's apparent connection to his enemy, but once he involves his old drinking companion Blair, who comes these days with a gaggle of wacky humans from Serafina's Psychic Investigations, everything gets out of hand.

While hunting his old enemy, Phil gets side-tracked into helping psychic human Sera in her bizarre cases involving a missing child, a designer drug for Hollywood celebrities, and a psychotic chef who heals her victims - maybe. But he has mysteries of his own to solve - is Linnie's amnesia real, and if so, how did she lose her memory? Who is she? Why does her blood taste so much more delicious than anyone else's? And why has she interested the reclusive Founder?

For Linnie, since her accident, every day is one of self-discovery. One of the few things she does know, is to fear vampires. Especially the fun, sexy Phil, who melts her bones and shows her all the excitement she secretly craves.

My Opinion  4 STARS
**ARC Provided by Netgalley and Marie Treanor for an honest review**

This book is told from many points of view, however they all add to the overall story and you never feel like there are too many speakers telling you what is going on.

The book is full of paranormal beings and investigations and romance between our two main characters Phil and Linnie.  If you have read the previous books you get lots on the previous characters that make up Sera's friend and work base so you get continuation their stories too.

Sera of course still has a main part to play, as she heads the investigation team and seems to the be central person behind all of our characters lives and we still follow her path as her business grows.

Fast paced and full of drama, this is a very good read.

REVIEW - Tycoon Takedown (Lone Star Burn #2) by Ruth Cardello

The Book

Release Date: 10 March 2015

Goodreads Link

Melanie Hanna has finally worked up the courage to travel to New York and tell an old flame that he’s the father of her young son. She’s done hiding and apologizing for her one impulsive night. When her best friend asks her brother to watch over Melanie, her emotional trip takes an unexpected and sizzling detour.

Charles Dery is at the top of his game, but all he can think about is bedding the woman he was asked to protect. When she’s almost killed, he takes what he’d been denying himself and discovers he’ll do anything to keep her—even break his own rules.

When it comes to love, two wrongs may just finally make a right. 

My Opinion  5 STARS

**My thanks to NetGalley and Montlake Romance, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This book is the second in the series and although you do not need to read the first, it certainly helps to have some background information on the characters.

There is lots of emotional angst between the characters, along with the fact that both Melanie and Charles have a past that confines them which they have to learn to let go of.

Both Tony and Sarah feature in this book as support roles and help to add some levity to the story, and Melanie's son Jace is really cute as he come out with some sweet sentences and tells us the world as he see's it.

It's a love conquers all, should you be brave enough to let go of the past and let it in kinda story.

REVIEW - Filthy Wicked Games (Dirty Twisted Love #2) by Lili Valente

Filthy Wicked Games

Lili Valente

Erotic Romance

Release Date: December 3rd, 2015

Synopsis:

Warning: This book is rough and raw, sick and twisted, and hot enough to set your panties on fire. Read with caution (and spare panties). Harley’s been through hell before, but she’s never met anyone as wickedly sexy as the man her ex has become. Clay is one twisted bastard. The only thing more twisted is the way her body ignites every time they touch. She can’t say no. He won’t say yes. And both of them are determined to be declared the victor in the filthy, wicked game they play. But sometimes even the sexiest games turn deadly, leaving innocent lives caught in the crossfire…

  * *Filthy Wicked Games is the second installment in the Dirty Twisted Love romance series. It is a spin off of the Bought By the Billionaire series, but can be read as a standalone romance. This is a SERIAL story, with a CLIFFHANGER ending. If you don’t like being teased, steer clear.* *

**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

Part two in this series starts where part one finishes and really focuses on the love hate relationship between Clay and Harley.  Both have a battle of wills and both a unwilling to be the one that gives in, no matter what.

Be warned though this book ends on a cliff hanger that will have you just NEEDING the next part NOW.  I SO want to know what is going to happen next, especially as to if the issues between Clay and Harley can be resolved as the lust between them just heats up the pages.

Another must read.

My Opinion  4 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This book is the third in a series and can very much be read as a stand alone story without feeling like you have missed half the story of any other characters. You get the information on them that you need.

It has a very light Christian theme through out the book that you hard notice it until the character talk about praying.

It is also a very clean romance with only a little kissing, nothing heavy at all for those of you that don't like that kind of thing.

Both characters have issues with their past that they have trouble dealing and talking about, however they both show strength of character they are when they just accept the others past with no questions.

The story leads into the holidays, but then skips over it a little, but the gift that Keith gives is sweet.

A very light holiday read.
