Cover Lust, No. 47

Ainsley came into my life in a flurry of vibrant colors, lighting my world up when all seemed lost.

It wasn’t our quiet nights by the creek or stolen kisses surrounded by a sea of cotton that saved me.  

It was her. 

She was my comfort when life threw one ugly tragedy after another at me. 

Until she dealt me the greatest blow. 

Now, abandonment, betrayal, and death darken every corner of my life.  Anger and hurt burn bright where love and trust once lived.  

But, now, she’s back.  Sure, she’s changed, but I see through it—straight to her heart.

I love everything about this cover: the colors, the match, the couple, the white background... all of it!

TBR Thursday

Kimberly @ Kimberlyfaye Reads started a new weekly feature that I'm excited to join in! This feature is to showcase what's on your to be read shelf (or eReader, or Audible library) and see what others think of it. Have you read it? Should I read it or put it back on the shelf? It's a way to dust off the books on your self and decide if they're worth reading!

#1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews launches a brand new Hidden Legacy series, in which one woman must place her trust in a seductive, dangerous man who sets off an even more dangerous desire…

Nevada Baylor is faced with the most challenging case of her detective career—a suicide mission to bring in a suspect in a volatile case. Nevada isn’t sure she has the chops. Her quarry is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, who can set anyone and anything on fire.

Then she’s kidnapped by Connor “Mad” Rogan—a darkly tempting billionaire with equally devastating powers. Torn between wanting to run or surrender to their overwhelming attraction, Nevada must join forces with Rogan to stay alive.

Rogan’s after the same target, so he needs Nevada. But she’s getting under his skin, making him care about someone other than himself for a change. And, as Rogan has learned, love can be as perilous as death, especially in the magic world.

I love the Kate Daniels series, bur haven't ventured further into the author's work. What do you think of this one?

In the #1 New York Times bestselling Mercy Thompson novels, the coyote shapeshifter has found her voice in the werewolf pack. But when Mercy's bond with the pack and her mate is broken, she'll learn what it truly means to be alone...

Attacked and abducted in her home territory, Mercy finds herself in the clutches of the most powerful vampire in the world, taken as a weapon to use against alpha werewolf Adam and the ruler of the Tri-Cities vampires. In coyote form, Mercy escapes only to find herself without money, without clothing, and alone in the heart of Europe...

Unable to contact Adam and the rest of the pack, Mercy has allies to find and enemies to fight, and she needs to figure out which is which. Ancient powers stir, and Mercy must be her agile best to avoid causing a war between vampires and werewolves, and between werewolves and werewolves. And in the heart of the ancient city of Prague, old ghosts rise...

I'm so ready for this!

Top Ten Tuesday: Movies

Hey, everyone!

It's Top Ten Tuesday by The Broke and The Bookish! This week is a movie freebie, so have free rein with the silver screen! 

This was a really tough topic for me, since I'm not a big movie watcher at all, so today's topic is a mix of favorite movies and maybe-want-to-watch-it movies and it's short. Like, very short. 

Total guilty pleasure. 

Favorite movie!

A shit book with poor acting and no chemistry, but the first movie was so bad it can only get better from here.
#ButI'mWaitingUntilIt'sOnAmazon

I cannot see Emma Watson as anything other than that Harry Potter girl, but I'm a bit curious to see what they do with this remake. 

Told you I wasn't a movie person!

Mini Reviews Monday

THIRTY DAYS
That’s all Adam Steinbeck demands of his wife.
Thirty days in a remote cottage, doing everything he demands. After that, he’ll sign her divorce papers and give her complete ownership of their company.

THIRTY DAYS
That’s how long he has to rediscover the man he once was. The Dominant Master he hid when he fell in love with her five years ago. 

THIRTY DAYS
She wants the business they built badly enough to go to the cottage for a month. Cut off ties to the world and do his bidding. She can submit to him with her body, but her heart will never yield.

She thinks this is his pathetic attempt to repair their marriage.

She’s wrong.

5 stars!

Oh. My. God. This was, by far, the best BDSM book I've ever read. It had effortless flow, engaging writing, great character development, and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Incredibly sexy and it really capture both the sub's and Dom's mindset. Fantastic narration (Sebastian York...just sayin' ;)), too!

I'm naturally gifted on the field and between the sheets. With flashy cars and enough media attention to put the Royal Family to shame, I’m the definition of Most Eligible Bachelor. 

I've never met a man who doesn't want to be me or a woman who doesn't want to tame me. Until I meet Camila. 

From the moment I lay eyes on her, I know I have to have her.

She wants to keep me at arm's length.
I want her naked in my bed.

She thinks our worlds are too different.
All I want her to think about is screaming my name.

She says I’m bad news.

I have three weeks to prove her wrong.

3 stars!

It was...okay, I guess. The narration was good, hero was okay, heroine was a pain in the behind and a complete child. Narration was good, though!

Don't be fooled.

Don't make excuses for me.

I am not a good man.

I've seen things no one should, done things no one should talk about. Honor and conscience have no place in my life. But I've fought and I've survived. I've had to.

The first time I saw her dancing on that seedy stage in that second rate club, I felt my heart pulse for the first time. Keelyn Foster was too young, too vibrant for this place, and I knew in an instant that I would make her mine. But first I had to climb my way to the top. I had to have something more to offer her.

I'm here now, money is no object and I have no equal. Except for her. She's disappeared. But don't worry, I will find her and claim her. She will be mine.

Like I said, don't be fooled. I am not the devil in disguise… I'm the one front and center.

5 stars!

This was such an amazing book! The protagonists were amazing, it was additive and fast paced, and it didn't tick one of my biggest pet peeves. Loved it. 

It starts with a stolen kiss under an English sky, and it ends with a walk down the aisle. It starts with the President sending his best friend to woo me on his behalf, and it ends with my heart split in two. It starts with buried secrets and dangerous desires…and ends with the three of us bound together with a hateful love sharper than any barbed wire.

My name is Greer Galloway, and I serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States.

This is the story of an American Queen. 

4 stars!

Sierra Simone has quickly gained my respect as an erotic romance author. Not only are her books beyond sexy, they're well written and easy to get lost in. This was no exception. It is definitely not for everyone (I felt like I needed a shower, it was so filthy), but it was a great book.

War veteran Kennedy O’Brien is in the business of sticking it to the man—or at least any man who tries to cross a woman. After she returned home from Afghanistan and caught her husband in bed with the nanny, Kennedy lost her faith in men and started Fool Me Once Investigations with her two best friends. After all, there’s no better bounty hunter than a woman scorned.

When Kennedy takes a case to slap cuffs on a bail jumper turned dog-napper, she figures it’ll be an easy paycheck. But trouble has a way of finding Kennedy. Enter the last man on the planet she’d willingly choose as a partner: her cheating ex-husband’s best friend, Griffin Crawford.

As gorgeous as he is unwelcome, Griffin has always had a thing for Kennedy, and after keeping quiet about her ex’s cheating, he’ll do anything to earn back her trust. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Kennedy will need help as the case of the Chihuahua thief spirals out of control. Griffin may be just her man—in more ways than one.

4 stars!

Quick, easy read! It was funny, sexy, silly and really enjoyable. Good narration, too.

The Unpopular Opinions Tag

Hey, ladies!

Today I'm doing the Unpopular Opinions book tag, because I'm full of them. ;) Let's jump right in!

1. A popular book or series you didn't like

I cannot stand any of these books!

2. A popular book or series you loved that everyone else dislikes

So many people dislike this series, but it's my guilty pleasure read that I can't help but love. 

3. A love triangle with the wrong endgame or an OTP you didn't like

Not a love triangle, but I really don't like Ivy and Ren together. They don't click for me. 

4. A popular book genre you hardly reach for

Fantasy. Or Sci-fi. 

5. A popular character you don't like

I am not a Ryodan fan, and I cannot stand Dani/Jada.

6. A popular author you can't get into

I finished one of her books and tried several times to get into this series, but I just can't. I don't care for her. 

7. A popular trope you're tired of seeing

Oy, where to start? I'm so over the moody hero that never smiles, let alone laughs. I'm over love triangles. I'm over the couple splitting up. I'm sick of the useless sibling. I'm also very tired of secrets and lies between couples!

8. A popular series you have no interest in reading

9. A tv or movie adaptation that was better than the book

Outlander, hands down!
