Review: Real Ugly (Hard Rock Roots #1) by C.M. Stunich 5/5 FREE eBook

Leave a comment

Ever been thrown into a book headfirst. Right into a perspective that leaves you feeling dirty, sexy and transcendent? This is Real Ugly in a nutshell.

The effect this book has had on me? Damaged characters, complex flaws and a new pendant to want to write the word ‘f***’ every other word. Oh yeah. This book is absolutely amazing.

It’s not just an exercise in broken character development and a well-built world on the rock and roll tour bus; it’s the mystery. The thrill and suspense. The bloodshed!

You need this book in your life. Read it now! It’s free, so you have no excuse.

Turner Campbell is an a**hole.
I f*cking hate him.
But I can’t get enough either.
He sings like an angel and f*cks like a devil.
If I could, I’d run away and never look back because to tell you the truth, I think this man might be the death of me.

& & &

Naomi Knox is a b*tch.
I can’t f*cking stand her.
But I can’t stop thinking about her either.
She looks like an angel and plays like a devil.
If I could, I’d f*ck her good and forget all about her, but to tell youthe truth, I think this woman might be my last saving grace.

Review: Infernal Magic by C.N Crawford (Kindle Unlimited)

Book 1 in the ‘Demons of Fire and Night series’

First off, the memory loss plot device is overused and typically I would just skip right over any synopsis that features those words, BUT, this series manages to twist it into something new and interesting.

She’s forgotten her past. Too bad her past won’t return the favor.

Ursula can’t remember a single thing from before three years ago, so she has to keep her life simple. All she wants is to earn enough money for rent–and maybe a bit left over for a new pair of boots.

But on her eighteenth birthday, all hell breaks loose… quite literally… when a hellhound shifter shows up in her kitchen. Kester’s lethally gorgeous, and he’s come with a terrifying message: Ursula owes her soul to a demon.

No one seems to care that she doesn’t remember striking that deal.

F.U or Former Ursula as the character calls her ‘pre-memory loss’ self has mad skills and has somehow made a bargain with a Hellhound in exchange for the gift of fire.

Such great character dialogue and this series weaves in so many questions that you have to read on to know the answers.

At the end of the first novel, Ursula has even less of an idea about who she is. The mythology of this book is brilliant and carries over well into the second book (Spoiler: which takes place on the moon BTW.)

A must read! 5/5

Review: Amour Amour by Krista & Becca Ritchie (Kindle Unlimited)

Buy on amazon here:

Circus is family.

This book reminds me of that feeling you get when you see an aerial acrobats show for the first time, and you marvel at all of the feats that people can accomplish with their bodies.

This book manages to encapsulate all of the hard work, struggles, and the high-flying joy that comes with being a circus performer.

The romance between Nikolai and Thora evolves quite naturally from their innate chemistry, but the story is themed around the hard work, in both their romance and their careers in the circus.

I came away from reading this book with an urge to book myself onto an aerial hoop class.

You will love this novel, just sayin’.

5/5

Review: Mr Popular by Nicole London (Kindle Unlimited)

Buy on amazon here:

Everyone loves a good YA, popular crush trope don’t they? Mr Popular, the brother’s best friend and the innocent heroine.

This kind of book is my guilty pleasure. Whilst Mr Popular has a good back story and some turmoil thrown in for good measure, I can only give it 4/5, but it does the job. It’s a light read, without many real surprises but you know what you are getting into.

Review: The Girl Duet by Julie Johnson (Kindle Unlimited Series)

Leave a comment

Read on amazon here:

The Monday Girl and the Someday Girl are the two books that combine to make ‘The Girl’ duet. Let’s just say, the description is wish fulfilment. A struggling actress, who has a very realistic internal dialogue (just sayin’) suddenly lands the lead part in a film.

This was not what I was expecting, and Johnson definitely throws a curve ball with the romantic interests and the relationships between the characters.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good contemporary romance, I think this is the perfect holiday read!

4/5

Review: End of Eden by S.L Jennings (Seven Sinners #2) Kindle Unlimited

Buy on amazon here:

S.L Jennings does erotic scenes and romance well. What I didn’t expect was the darkness that came with this second instalment of the seven sinners series.

The first book in this series focuses very much on the female leads romantic relationship with Legion, a strong, serious and tortured fallen angel.

The second book – let’s just say that you feel the emotions as the character experiences them. This isn’t your typical happy romance conflict. This book is full of little twists that you don’t expect as well as uncertainty.

Eden, the female heroine, remains her strong self in the face of conflict. But at what emotional cost? The journey that Eden goes on in this book is what makes this series great.

5/5 again from S.L Jennings.

Love the tie in with the dark light characters.

(Spoiler: if you’ve missed Niko, you’ll love this book)

The Bargainer Series by Laura Thalassa/Strange Hymn Cover Reveal

Buy Rhapsodic on amazon here:

Let’s talk about Rhapsodic first:

Everything that Thalassa has created in this beautiful urban fantasy novel world has left me enamoured, in love, empty and needing more.

If you love ACOTAR, you will devour this series without a breath.

I could not sleep until I had finished this novel.

I am a massive fan of Thalassa’s work, and she is one of my favourite authors. I honestly cannot wait for the sequel of this book. Luckily the cover and title have been revealed.

32871581 (1)

And The Bargainer , one of my all time favourite male romantic interests. The king of the night, the intrigue of owning debts to a beautiful faery cloaked by shadows. The mystery of the missing women. Callie, the strong and modern siren.

Such an intense and amazing book.

Looking at the sequel cover, I can only guess that we will delve deeper into the Fauna kingdom, where we only scratched the surface previously. I cannot wait to be immersed in Thalassa’s faery world again.

I give it all of the marks. More than five out of five. All of the thumbs up Thalassa.

Review: Trickery by Jaymin Eve & Jane Washington

Buy on amazon here:

Trickery is a brilliant example of a fantasy series starting with a bang, and getting you hooked right from the start. Honestly, there were so many seeds planted in this novel that I can’t wait to read the rest of the series to watch them come into fruition.

The premise is deliriously good. A society where the gods essentially live on earth until the die and ascend. The prejudices and class divides make for brilliant dynamics between the main characters.

I began to feel a reverse harem vibe once all of the lead male characters were introduced, and whereas this premise normally makes me uncomfortable if it is done in a tacky way, this was executed in a way that tied into the plot in an intriguing way.

This book deserves a five out of five. Such an addictive story and I honestly cannot wait for the rest of the books.

Willa Knight: Dweller. Slave. Non-magical being.

In Minatsol, being a dweller means that you are literally no better than dirt. In fact, dirt might actually be more useful than Willa. Her life will be one of servitude to the sols, the magic-blessed beings who could one day be chosen to become gods.

At least her outer village is far removed from the cities of the sols, and she won’t ever be forced to present herself to them… Until one small mistake changes everything, and Willa is awarded a position to serve at Blesswood, the top sol academy in the world—a position that she definitely did not earn.

Under the sudden, watchful eye of the gods, she will be tasked to serve the Abcurse brothers, five sols built of arrogance, perfection and power. They are almost gods themselves, and under their service she is either going to end up sentenced to death, or else they are going to ruin her so badly that she will wish for it.

Either way, she is in trouble.

Jane Washington is a fave of mine ever since ‘Charcoal Tears’, but I have never read anything from Jaymin Eve, but now I think I will.

This was a good combo of authors and such an example of good fantasy fiction.

Review: Faking it series by Chloe Walsh

Available on amazon here:

I am addicted to Chloe Walsh’s writing. I love her Carter Kids series and absolutely devoured the Broken series. So when this first book of this series: ‘Off Limits’ went on sale, I didn’t hesitate. My only gripe was that it wasn’t long enough. I wanted more.

Adriana is an innocent girl and Nate is a boy from the trailer park on the wrong side of the tracks. This book has all of the trademark turmoil that Walsh is known for. The teenage angst and parental drama. I love this series, have inhaled the first two books and wait on tenderhooks for the rest to come down the pipe line.

Chloe Walsh has done it again with this sexy, desperate, devastating, YA romance.

Five out of five Ms Walsh. Everything this author writes is gold.

“Adriana is the privileged daughter of business mogul, Clive Davis, and town socialite, Liv. Blessed with wealth, beauty, and a football hero older brother, to the outside world Andi looks like the quintessential daddy’s little rich girl, but looks can be deceiving.

The truth is Andi’s life is far from perfect…”

Review:Legally Yours by Nicole French (Spitfire #1)

Available on amazon, here:

It’s not often that I fall in love with a conventional love story like this.

It’s the tale of a Harvard law student, Skylar, and a romance between her ex-boss, a partner at the law firm she interned at during the summer.

Whilst I am all for an independent and intelligent woman, what sells this story is Sterling’s vulnerability when it comes to women that only want him for his money and the weaknesses surrounding his upbringing are emotionally realistic and made me really feel for the main characters. He puts his foot in his mouth often and is a very enduring character without being aggressive and obnoxious.

If you love a damaged man and a strong female, career driven character, you will love this book!

It’s full of twists and turns and is such a journey that I honestly cannot wait for the next one!

If you like Gabriel’s inferno by Slyvain Reynard, you will love this.

5/5
