REVIEW SINS OF SEVIN BY PENELOPE WARD





´*•.¸(*•.¸ðŸ’™ ¸.•*´)¸.•*´
💙 SINS OF SEVIN💙
REVIEW.
.¸.•*(¸.•*´ðŸ’™ `*•.¸)`*•.
If I could tell you one thing about this book, it would be that you HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!!!!!
One thing i love about penelope is her amazing writing skills, she never rests on laurels, she's always thinking outside of the box.
Everytime I pick up a book by her I never know where she will take me. I must say she has never disappointed me ever.
This story is told in multiple Pov's and I absolutely love that because im always wondering what the other person is thinking.
I've never read a book like this. (Which is saying something, cause I've read a lot)
I absolutely loved Stepbrother Dearest and no one could ever shine a light to Elec , well that was until I met Sevin.
The thing I love most about Sevin , he's not afraid to show his feelings. (You'll see that throughout the story)
Sevin comes from a very strict religious family, when something bad happens in his life he ends up wanting to fulfil his fathers wishes.
Along comes Elle, she was chosen for him.
After a long distance courtship sevin moves to her hometown to live on her fathers property In their guesthouse, where they would then get to know each other before their upcoming nuptials.
This should be an easy transition you'd think since he finds Elle attractive, and he has a good relationship going with her.
Then throw a temptation in his midst, someone he can't stay away from....not just anyone it was Elle's sister Evangeline.
It was like the Adam and Eve situation all over again and Evangeline was definitely forbidden fruit in more ways than one.
The story will have your emotions all over the place, you might even need your tissues at the ready.
I don't want to go into it too much and spoil it for you. I will tell you though, you might want to clear your schedule because once you start you most definitely won't want to stop reading it.

REVIEW UNTIL JAX AURORA ROSE REYNOLDS






Five Fan-freaking-Tastic Stars.

This Lady never does me wrong with her books. I couldn't wait to read Until Jax because his Dad Cash is my favourite Mayson Man. Let me tell you The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Jax is just like his Dad. After reading I was then Torn who my favourite of Aurora's Alphas was, Cash or Jax but got to say Jaz knocked his Dad of the top spot.

Jax is 100% Alpha just like his Dad and Uncles. He has spent years hearing his Dad and Uncles talk about the Boom, which he doesn't really buy. Until he meets Ellie, His BOOM.

Ellie is such a sweet girl. She doesn't have much confidence due to her up bringing. Jax and Ellie meet under unusual circumstances, but there is a pull there straight away. Ellie feels safe with Jax straight away which she never feels. She and her daughter Hope end up staying with Jax because she could be in danger. I Love watching their relationship develop and Ellie really come out of her shell. Jax gives her confidence she has never had.

Being with Jax doesn't just give Ellie a family for and Hope with Jax but also from his family, they all fell in Love with Ellie and Hope as Jax and he often had to contend with his family for her time. I want to be a part of the Mayson family, Love them.

I have got to mention Hope, I loved that little girl, she had no problem with shyness and fitted straight in with the Mayson family. Her relationship with Jax was amazing, it melted my heart.

Loved seeing more of the Mayson Clan and cant wait for the next book, but I am so excited for Sage's book.

Highly recommend, this book has it all A Hot as hell Alpha, suspense, humour it will keep you entertained from the first page to the last.

He wants what she's cooking...

She's not willing to share.

Landlord and billionaire Quinn Ryker has the one thing that Emma Sparrow wants--the renewal to the lease on her restaurant. But he's not going to give it up that easily--not without first turning up the heat between them. And after just one taste, Quinn wants a hell of a lot more.

Emma's poured her heart, soul, and every last penny into The Port Bistro, only to have Quinn hold her lease hostage and put those who rely on her at risk. Emma will do anything to save her restaurant, but it turns out there's more on the line when negotiating matters involving one's body, heart, and soul.

Someone may very well get burned...

Book Summary

 

Cherry’s life growing up was nothing short of a nightmare. Having an abusive father forced her to fend for herself from an early age. Bruised and emotionally broken, she finally escaped, running straight into the comfort that Lip's arms brought. In the beginning, everything seemed to fall into place perfectly. He made her forget the messed-up ways of her life. But secrets can’t stay neglected. They have a habit of revealing themselves regardless of the consequences. Terrified, Cherry can’t speak a word or she’ll lose it all.

Lip is no stranger to the criminal life. Growing up among convicts, he wanted nothing more than to show his worth. He’ll do anything for the club without question, including serving six years in prison. But nobody could have predicted life’s plan. Rugged, tattooed, and wanting nothing more than to have Cherry, Lip is no longer the man whom Cherry remembers. After his release, he came out a beast with more secrets and lies than his cage could hold.

Now that his best friend, Josh, has happily settled down with his true love on a Montana ranch, small-town lawyer Ty Sullivan starts thinking that maybe single life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. And when
Lauren Cunningham’s no-good ex-husband comes after her for an unexpected trust fund, Ty steps in to protect her. But soon he can’t help but think of her as more than a client.

boy’s mother took off. He’s struggling to re-establish a relationship with his son, and warding off the demons of PTSD, which still haunt him. The last thing he needs is bold, brassy Jillian…but why can’t he keep his hands off her?

About SAVING GRACE (Releasing November 30th):

Sparks fly like snowflakes when a klutzy but gorgeous novice crosses skis with a hot resort owner in this tempting tie-in to New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby’s popular Love Under the Big Sky series!

Grace Douglas is on a practice run for her friend Cara Donovan’s bachelorette party ski weekend in Aspen. The problem is, despite living in rugged and picturesque Cunningham Falls, Montana, Grace is the clumsiest person ever born. To prepare for the trip, she is taking lessons at a local ski resort. She just prays that they have an ambulance on standby.

Sexy hotelier Jacob Berkley is ready to play ski instructor, but he quickly discovers that the best place on the mountain for Grace is in the lodge with a hot toddy. Her sense of humor and easy laugh quickly pull him in, and soon he’s determined to help her get off the bunny slope for a fun vacation with her friends. He just didn’t expect their steamy chemistry to trigger an avalanche of desire straight to his heart.



Excerpt from LOVING CARA (Book 1):

“This is a great place,” I murmur, and turn in a complete circle, taking everything in. The forest is thick here, but with a clearing by a wide pool of water,which is being fed by a creek that empties into it via a beautiful waterfall about twenty yards away. Slabs of rock frame the pond, making a natural ledge to sit on and enjoy nature.

“This is where I’ve always come whenever I’m happy or mad or just need to think.” Josh wraps his arms around me from behind and kisses the top of my head.

“You brought me to your happy place?” I ask, half kidding, and turn my head to kiss his biceps. I can’t seem to keep my lips off this man.

And he doesn’t seem to mind.

“It seems that anywhere you are is my happy place these days, Carolina.”

I gasp and look up into his soft brown eyes.

“So, I brought the person who makes me happy to my happy place,” he clarifies.

Well . . . wow.

Before I can respond, he kisses my lips quickly and then pulls away to grab a blanket out of a saddlebag. He takes me by the hand and leads me up onto the rocks by the water. He spreads the blanket out and pulls me down next to him.

“Are you hungry?” he asks, and pushes my hair back over my shoulder.

“Not quite yet.”

He nods and his eyes heat as they rake down my face, my neck, and over my tank top, which I know shows off the girls nicely.

If he was going to keep me perpetually turned on today, I was happy to return the favor.

“You are so beautiful,” he whispers, and leans in to claim my mouth gently. His lips are gentle and soft, sweeping across my own rhythmically yet slowly, sending shivers down my arms and making my stomach clench.

He has only touched me with his lips and my stomach is clenched. I’m panting, ready for him to take me right here, in the middle of nature.

He cups my cheeks in the palm of his hand and pulls me closer, sinking into the kiss, but then he abruptly pulls back, his brows pulled into a frown.

“You really are warm,” he mutters, and feels my neck and forehead.

I laugh at him as I rub my hand up and down his firm chest. “It’s hot outside, Josh.”

“Let’s cool off.” He smiles down at me wickedly and begins to peel me out of my clothes.

“We might give the wildlife quite a show,” I warn him mildly, excitement coursing through me.

“That’s the plan.” He winks at me and quickly strips out of his own clothes. He pulls me up onto my feet and peels my jeans and panties down my legs.

“Now what?” I ask with a wide smile.

“Now we cool off.”

But beyond her shield is fear, a consuming deep one, of the unknown. Raelyn vows to herself that she’ll solely focus on the one constant in her life, her career as the CEO for a prestigious accounting firm.
Damien Heathman’s unrelenting determination has made him a powerful, respected man. He’s sexy and confident and utterly breathtaking. His dominance and strength is evident in every purposeful stride, every meaningful look, and every soft caress. 
Raelyn has worked with Damien’s company, Heathman Enterprises, for many years, but they’ve never crossed paths—until now. 
Damien’s presence fills a room. He steals Raelyn’s breath and sparks her broken heart back to life. Once Damien sets eyes on Raelyn, there is no turning back. He wants her, and he’ll stop at nothing to have her. Not even the dark secrets hidden behind his tattoos will stand in his way. 
The chemistry is undeniable. The passion is palpable.
Can Damien convince Raelyn that he is worth the risk? Or will Raelyn allow her past to control her future, feeling the chance of another heartache is too great to bear?



An Excerpt : 


My eyes flickered open to the bright rays beaming into Damien’s bedroom. Wanting to avoid the harsh light just a while longer, I turned onto my side and came face-to-face with a sleeping Damien. The stunning sight was equivalent to winning the lottery in my books.
Bright light be damned, I planned to take full advantage of this time to peruse every inch of him. His strong cheekbones that led to his square jaw were relaxed. The hard edges of his face were soft.
My eyes drifted to his shoulders where some of his black ink peeked over the top of them. A few raised lines beneath the tattoos were visible. Not wanting to focus on those, I let my eyes trail down his left arm where I took in his sleeve. Most of it was a tribal design, but being this close, I saw scripture printed in a small cursive font.
I AM NOT MY PAST.
The idea of this strong, beautiful man struggling with his former years constricted my heart. It made me want to spread my wings around him and protect him from his sufferings.
My gaze continued to roam down the inside of his forearm. Engraved in bold black ink with dark shading all around it that faded into the rest of his tribal sleeve were Roman numerals.
I-II-I-V
I ran my hand across the numbers on his skin.
“One, two, one, five,” I whispered to myself, wondering what meaning they held for him to also be permanently scripted onto his flesh.

REVIEW SUSTAINED EMMA CHASE

SUSTAINED BY EMMA CHASE



I Loved this book so much. It has your typical hilarious moments that you get with an Emma Chase book. But it really was a heart warming story.

This is Jake Becker's book, he is a lawyer. He is not interested in relationships just his casual hook ups. So when he meets Chelsea and her 6 nephews and nieces he doesn't think he is going to become this instant family man.

There are so many LOL moments in this book, but you still see the relationship develop between Chelsea and Beck. So it is still very much a romance book.

You see the characters from previous book in here to, so it was nice to catch up with them.
I love the relationship Beck has with each of the kids, and how easy he slipped into their lives esp after all they have lost. From going to one direction concerts to baby classes. There is never a dull moment.

Beck doesn't see himself s the family man and settling down type so can he get over this fear and be the man Chelsea and the kids need.

Don't miss out in this funny sweet but HOT READ.
5 STARS FROM ME.

 Buy Links: Amazon TE_Teaser6_Sm     Exclusive Excerpt:  
Damien lightly laid me on the bed, removed my towel, and tucked me beneath the sheets. 
“Do you need anything? Water, saltines, anything?” 
Concern filled his features once again.
 “No.” I smiled. “I’m fine. Just tired.”  
He nodded his acknowledgment, and then he walked to the bathroom door while pulling his soaking wet shirt from his back. He tossed it on the chair, every muscle flexing with his movements. 
  I might have been tired, but that didn’t stop me from being stunned into silence as my body flamed to life at the sight of his bare torso. My greedy eyes traveled from one end of his shoulder to the other, drinking in the beauty of his ink. Without glancing at me, he sauntered over to his dresser to pull out a dark-colored shirt.  
“Don’t,” I whispered, feeling my heart stop beating in my chest. It destroyed me a little every time he concealed this part of himself from me. I knew something awful had happened to Damien and that he didn’t want to talk about it, but him hiding it from me hurt beyond any other physical pain I’d ever experienced. His arms paused midair, and he gazed over his shoulder. From his side profile, I saw the instant his body tensed, and his jaw clenched. 
“Please…” I swallowed thickly and dug for courage. “You want me to stay. And I want to lie with you…with nothing between us.” 
I realized I was being unfair, but I was that desperate. A visible tremor shook through him. It felt as though an eternity had passed before he spoke, 
“Don’t touch them.” My heart swelled within its confined space. He was going to trust me.  
“I won’t,” I breathed in relief. “I promise.”  
“Don’t ever break a promise to me, Raelyn.” He slowly lowered his arms and pivoted to face me. “So, don’t make one if you can’t keep it.”
“I keep my promises,” I vowed with the utmost sincerity.   

“As do I. Always.” His voice was reverent.
