REVIEW: Newly Exposed by Meghan Quinn


NewlyExposed

cooltext128330404127011

I loved this book!

Get ready to get your geek on!  And getting your geek on with hottie Adam is a very good thing!

Meghan Quinn: Where can I find an Adam???? I know he is really out there.


Seriously if you thought geek wasn’t hot, you are truly wrong.

We get introduced to Adam James  & instantly I fell in love with his goofy manner.  I love men who can make corny jokes that have you snort laugh.  Who doesn’t love that?  Also it doesn’t hurt that he is one hell of a stud muffin!  And he knows how to do things I’ve never heard of before that had me blushing like a geeky schoolgirl!

Cannoli’s  will never be the same again after Adam!  Shoot I’m half Italian and now whenever I see a cannoli, I’m gonna blush and twist in my seat.



SOLO(yes you read right): She rocks!  I want to be her.  She is straight up the cool geek girl that I have always wanted to be but could not pull it off. I love her clothes, her attitude, just everything about her.  Adam sure knows how to pick them.

There are tons of fun characters in this book that I Meghan Quinn was able to completely wrap into this storyline.  They were supportive and even had me wishing I had friends like that.  Maybe we will get a spinoff of some of these characters….Gunner, Zia, Nolly????

Not going to give away this story but I will say this, you want to read a book that has you laughing, is romantic, has the best Star Wars and other 80’s & 90’s pop culture, gets super hot and heavy that you need to go to Planet Hoth to cool off…This is the book for you!  It’s just a very good sweet and loving story.


This is on my Must Read List of 2015! Freaking love this book!

I am off to watch Star Wars Trilogy because shoot it’s now instilled in my brain.

00Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped. Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking. Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

NA Contemporary Romance

Blurb:

Reid Travers knows how to win. Becoming Motocross royalty was always the plan, and he was willing to make sacrifices along the way to reach his goal. Sacrifices he thought he could live with until he returned to the small town where he grew up and learned to ride, and, more importantly, where he fell in love.

When fate sends Nora Bennett back into his life, he takes one look at her and realizes that he made a huge mistake breaking up with her five years ago. Now, he'll do whatever it takes to win her back. As Reid sets out to earn her forgiveness and convince her that the guy she's dating is not the one for her, Nora finds herself torn between what her head is telling her and what her heart wants.

It's a race he never expected to be in, for a girl he can't stand to lose again.

EXCERPT

Reid Travers had grown up. He had always been attractive, but time and professional racing had done something to his features and body that he should have thanked the good Lord every day for. His jawline and nose seemed more chiseled. His eyes wiser and brighter. Well-worn jeans hung around his hips, the waistband sitting just below a set of abs that had me thinking all kinds of things—none of which had anything to do with a real estate transaction. While my stomach was a knot of nervousness, below that something inside of me was coiling so tightly that the possibility of shooting straight into the sky seemed feasible. Especially if he kept looking at me the way he was. His brown eyes were locked on mine and I was helpless to look away. “Nora Bennett,” he said as he closed the distance between us. He ran his hand down his jawline, the days’ worth of stubble only adding to his new all-grown-up appeal. “How are you?”

“Fine,” I answered softly as he reached out. The second his hand touched my arm, I knew I was in trouble—his rough, calloused fingertips met my smooth skin and it was like striking a match.

Now, I channel it all to create stories where the girl always ends up with the right guy, first kisses are magical, and a happy ending is just that!

REVIEW: The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert






I read this book back in April & I really enjoyed it.

Yes it’s true, after reading this book, you will want to have a piece of something coconut!  This book brings out your senses in your palette for fine food.

Yes this book is about a restaurant chef who is looking for love and learns that taking risks are the biggest thing you can do to succeed in finding it.

Lou reminded me of myself of when she sets her goals, she makes sure to have a plan of attack.  Very well organized and despite having bumps in the road to get where she wants, she tries hard to hurled over them and move on.

Al is a British hottie who loves his job just not where it is located.  He is ready to haul out until he meets Lou.

This book is a romantic story of 2 people who find true love in each other and learn to make their union one to last.

Go get this great read and make sure to have a nice Large glass of cold milk & slice of Coconut Vanilla Cake.

REVIEW & SERIES TOUR: Caged: Released (Book Three) by Shay Savage

Liam & Tria’s gritty love story concludes in RELEASED!

CAGED RELEASED.jpg

Blurb
Oblivion is a sweet, sweet place.
No pain. No disturbing thoughts of the past. No guilt from my recent actions.
Deep down, there is still a part of me that knows how screwed up I am. I don’t see a way out, not now. Tria’s gone, and the possibility of her forgiving me in my current state is exactly zero. I know I have to pull myself together, accept my responsibilities, and try to make amends, but I have no idea where to start.
No job. No apartment. I’m living on the streets with the other junkies. As little as I had to offer Tria before, I have nothing to give her now. The only way out is to come clean and tell Tria the truth about my past, but the idea of reliving the memories is so painful, I can’t think about it long enough to figure out a solution.
I’ve hit rock bottom, and I don’t even know which way is up any more.
caged released teaser 3.jpg

Excerpt #1
I reached out and touched the edge of the pillow.  It was insanely soft and warm.  I stroked it, and images of Tria’s breasts crawled through my head, making me smile.  I stroked my cock as I thought about her, but I couldn’t come.
I could hear a voice in the other room, but it didn’t concern me, so I didn’t move.  Through heavy eyelids, I watched the piles of dirty laundry all over the floor.  I found shapes of animals in the patterns, just like cloud pictures.
“The beans are gone.”
I rolled my head to the side and looked up at Krazy Katie’s face.  I smiled and tried to say something, but my tongue wasn’t cooperating.  I focused on her eyes as they stared down at me quizzically.
“Trains need an engineer,” Krazy Katie said.
“It’s okay,” I said.  My tongue still felt weird, all numb and heavy.  I twisted it around in my mouth, and it tickled my teeth.  I blinked a couple of times before looking back at my neighbor.  “I got the helm.  I’m all good.”
Did trains have a helm, or was that just boats?  I laughed.
Krazy Katie covered her eyes with one hand.  I could see her chest rising and falling as she took long breaths.  I started counting slowly in my head but quickly forgot the number.
“Left the station,” she said quietly.  “No engineer.  Kicked in the caboose.  Nothing but tracks.”
She turned in slow motion, and I watched vapor trails of her dull blue T-shirt swirl around the room as she left.  I heard the window slide shut and then silence.
“I’m all good,” I whispered.
There was no reply.
Even though my arms and legs were way too content to be bothered with moving, I shoved myself out of bed anyway.  My rig was sitting on the kitchen table, all ready to go.  I was still pretty high, but I could feel darkness closing in around me, and I didn’t want it.
I wanted warmth and happiness.
Plastic tube, arm slap, needle prick.
“Like a fucking pro.”
I lay my head on the table as the fluid sensations rippled through me.  Tria didn’t matter.  She’d forgive me in time.  In fact, she was probably already over it.  How could she not be?
“I’m good.  Really, I am.”
I was never one to lie to myself, but it was getting easier all the time.

Oh my Liam!! Wow has he evolved since Book#1!!

Shay Savage brings this series to a close with a shocker that I wasn’t expecting but I totally loved it.

Liam gave me an emotional breakdown. I was at first mad at him, then I felt bad for him, then I wanted to kick his butt and then I wanted to hold him tight and never let go.  Yes Liam is an emotional mess but he is one man that you will want to heal just as Tria tries to do.  

I really enjoyed how Shay Savage answered a lot of questions and predictions from the previous books about all the characters she had introduced.  Nothing is left hanging on ‘What happened?”.   Loved the way this story came together.  Healing takes time and this story shows how nothing and no one is ever perfect.  Learning from your mistakes as well as others is what makes you a stronger person, not your fists or harsh words.

Get this series and get CAGED into a love story with a hot, funny and heartfelt moments that will keep you entertained.
