REVIEW & BLOG TOUR: Reckless Love by Kendall Ryan


Synopsis:
One reckless fighter.
One night of passion she can't forget.
The battle for sex and love is fierce and unrelenting.
And love is about to knock him on his ass.
Reckless Love can be read as a standalone novel, but is a follow up to the New York Times and USA Today bestseller Hard to Love.

EXCERPT:
“So, it’s true then?”
My breathing stopped. “What’s true?” I asked cautiously.
“That you don’t have sex before a big fight.” Her look was so innocent and hopeful, yet it still took me a second to figure out why she was asking this.
“Yes,” I finally answered. Her cute little frame seemed to relax a little, making me feel—once again—like a total dick. She didn’t know I paid Sara; she was talking about something completely different, about the night we almost hooked up. The night I told her I couldn’t because I had a fight the next day.
She chewed at the inside of her cheek a moment, maybe considering what I’d just said. Shit, that meant she thought I’d just made that up to get rid of her. Not fucking likely. Putting the brakes on that night had been the hardest thing I’d ever done.
“So,” she said as she looked up at me innocently through her eyelashes. “What does that do? For a fighter, I mean.”
I chuckled. “You mean besides frustrate the hell out of us?”
She smiled—thank fucking goodness—then nodded for me to continue.
“You know that stereotype that most guys are boneheaded cave dwellers driven by instinct?”
“Is it considered a stereotype if it’s true?” she said, then giggled.
God, she had a great laugh.

I nodded. “That’s what I was getting at. On some very basic level, we fight in order to survive and procreate.”
She scrunched up her nose, making her look super cute. “But wouldn’t you fight better then? If you have sex, then you have someone to fight for, right?”
Her hand went up to mine, which was still resting on her shoulder. She absentmindedly played with my fingers until she noticed I was watching her, and realized what she’d been doing. She let her hand drop.
I shook my head. “We fight to procreate. Once we’ve had sex, we’ve done the job and have no reason to fight.”
“Hmm.” She nodded. “So I guess now that you aren’t fighting for a while, you’re free to take care of business.” Her gaze drifted down my body.



Kendall Ryan had done it again!  
This book can be read as a standalone.  Ian and Mackenzie's story is sexy hot!

We got a taste of them in Hard To Love.

From the beginning of this book, Ian and Mackenzie's sexual chemistry burned off the pages.  Picture hot sexy ripped no tattoo fighter who just oozes sexiness in every movement he makes from what he says to what he does.  
Ian is a romantic at heart but of course he gives off as though he doesn't give a shit attitude around others because he doesn't want to appear as soft.
It drives Nurse Mackenzie mad with frustration because she wants him but she thinks his holding back is because he is not into her.  Ian thinks he is not good enough for her.  Little does he know that she feels the same.   She is a nurturing person and he sees it but just doesn't know how to let her in with him.  Does she really want him the way he is?
They battle with themselves on expressing their feelings towards once another.  It comes out in tons of sexual tension and making decisions that they wish they would have not made.

Once they unite, it is on!


This book is an awesome quick sexy read that will have you needing to take a nice long cold shower once you finish devouring it.  I really liked how Kendall Ryan develops her characters and makes it easy for you to want to hate, love and fall hard for them! 

Go get this book & fall in love with Ian!

But when his latest gig finds him admitted to the ER sporting an erection from hell, thanks to the little pill given to him by the director, he can’t get the pretty little nurse who treated him out of his head, even though he knows she’s so far out of his league it should be illegal.
Alexa’s always played it safe…

REVIEW: Pocketful of Sand by M. Leighton

A story of heartbreak, loss, redemption and second chances: Pocketful of Sand from New York Times bestselling author M. Leighton

Pocketful-of-Sand250

I don’t know what makes a great love story. Is it that instant attraction when boy meets girl? The passionate kisses and the fairy-tale ending? Or is it a lifetime of tragedy, paid in advance, for a few stolen moments of pure bliss? The pain and the suffering that, in the end, you can say are worth it for having found the missing piece of your soul?

The answer is: I don’t know. I don’t know what makes a great love story. I only know what makes my love story. I only know that finding Cole when I did, when Emmy and I were running from a nightmare, was the only thing that saved me. That saved us. He was more broken than I was, but somehow we took each other’s shattered pieces and made a whole. If that is what makes a great love story, if that is what makes an epic romance, then mine…ours is the greatest of them all.

Contains material that some may find disturbing. Not intended for readers under the age of 18.



“She’s beauty for my ashes. And I’m hope for her heartache.”—Cole Danzer



My mind has been blown!!!

This book made me cry, laugh, love hard, just had me emotionally all over the place.  

You want to feel, READ this book!

M. Leighton does it yet again.  I mean I knew she would but like seriously, she just took it to another level with this book.

From the beginning of the book I fell hard for Cole Danzer.  As I read further, his mysterious nature drew me in even further to the point that I wanted to be just like Eden & find out why he is the way he is.

Eden...from the 1st page, she captured my heart.  Her love for her daughter Emmy as a single mother emotionally hit me hard.  She will and does do anything to make her daughter have a normal childhood.  She sacrifices everything for Emmy just like any Mom will do to protect her child.

Love is what this book is.  You feel all the different kinds of love: angry, sad  & heart wrenching coming off the pages as you read this story. 

 He 's caputring me.And I'm captured.He wants me.And I'm all his. 
- Eden 


The story flowed and I liked how you could not figure out what turn it was going to take.

Cole & Eden learn to trust each other and as well as trust themselves to let go and open up.

When their relationship begins, it becomes super hot!  Talk about needing to take a cold shower several times after these hot scenes Michelle created!  Damn!

Hot man cooking Bacon will never be looked at the same way again with hot being on fire and I am totally fine with that because who doesn't love BACON???
Especially when Cole is involved!


I did not want this book to end... and well without any spoilers, you will need to read this book to find out whether you get your happy ending or not.

Do you have to have a Happy Ending? 

Do you want a twist that leaves you wondering "What if?"

Go get this TOP MUST READ 2015!

I seriously can't get enough of this book!

And remember....  You can make your destiny what you want it to be as long as you believe.

Sand Castles will always now hold a special place to me after reading this heart felt amazing book!

Title: Sunshine & Whiskey
Author: R.L. Griffin
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Cover Designer: Silver Plum Creations
Release Date: April 21st, 2015
════════════════════════════════════════════════
S & W Book Cover frontSynopsis: Sometimes the best things in life come from the unexpected. So if you lower your expectations, then you’ll never be disappointed. Sound cheesy? It is, but it's also true. Clichés come from a grain of truth…like a man with a Porsche is compensating for something, or once a cheater always a cheater—you get the idea. Sorry, I digress. I'm supposed to be telling you what this book is about. I'm Megan Walker, a lawyer at one of the hottest boutique law firms in Atlanta. I'm on the fast track to making partner and have my entire life planned out...or I did. We all know how that goes, right? Best laid plans and all that. Life just threw me a couple curveballs, so I've set out to take things into my own hands. By throwing caution to the wind and getting out of my A-type personality bubble, I'm learning more about myself than I have in my twenty-seven years. Sound like a chick flick, doesn't it? It’s not.

Sauls -   014Author Bio: R.L. Griffin published her first book in 2004. After that she focused on practicing law. A few years ago she began writing the By A Thread series, which is out now. Her goal is to keep readers on their toes, whether it's the plot twist or the book itself, her books are outside any box. There is a little bit of grit in most of her books and a ton of cussing. Most books are enjoyed better with a glass of wine, or whiskey, whatever your poison may be. She lives in Atlanta with her husband, kid and dogs. She loves to travel and meet readers.
