He plucked ME from my nightmare and kept me safe.

My heart was in tatters and my soul was lost.
Until the beast in ME woke up.
She was hungry and furious and didn’t play by the rules of their game.
We were a vicious team. And we changed the game altogether. I took what was theirs because they took what was mine.
ME against them.

That is…until I had someone else with ME.
Someone who vowed to fight alongside ME until the very end.
I don’t want the love he has for ME.
But the beast in ME still craves to take everything she deserves.
He should run far away from ME.
Instead, he runs straight for ME.

This is ME, baby and I am going to ruin them all.

Review by AnessaRenee

If you haven't read the series so far I highly suggest you read them all but in my opinion you really should read This isn't me, baby before this one. And if you did read that one than you most likely fell in love with Duvan. Or at least he stole my heart. Of course K Webster defied all logic and made me love this book just as much. But in her true fashion I fell for this book for completely different reasons. This series has seriously messed me up in so many different ways. This book brought back light and laughter all while still having the twists and turns we all love. The description of certain things really makes you feel like you're there or can visually see what is being talked about. K Webster has once again blown me away and here's a secret - I'm pretty sure we will be seeing more of this series. Yay!

Review by HB

Insanely Emotional! 

Gabriella's story continues! We left the last book completely heartbroken, devastated, and confused. These feelings stay strong throughout the story as we watch Brie force herself to stay strong and move forward in order to protect herself, and the people she loves. She is faced with new obstacles, insurmountable guilt, confusing emotions and more dangerous threats that could end in even more devastation. I could not put this book down! New and old relationships come into play, loyalties change, and you are constantly left guessing on what's coming next. Truly an amazing read! The story is not over yet, however, there is more to come. I cannot wait until book six arrives!

Review by Anne Milne

I feel like a broken record when it comes to this series, because all I say about each book is how good it is, how the writing just gets better and better, and how the story becomes more intense but never loses focus. 
Every book I think there's no way the author can top the last one and she always proves me wrong. I really loved Gabe and Ren in this one, Gabe's love for his family shines through in this book and Ren is just yummy - he's everything I thought he would be and more.
I can't wait to see what we get in the next book!

[Release Blitz] ALWAYS YOU by Belle Brooks @bellebrooks16 @EJBookPromos



Always You

by

Belle Brooks
Release Date: February 2, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance




“I will breathe for you.” Some people’s bodies are built to run marathons. Others to lift and labour. And some are made so graceful their footsteps are barely heard.
 My body was built to be a vessel.

It was Always You. 

Maybelline Connors knows stars are not always as faultless as they appear. She knows life is not permanently concreted into its foundations and love can last a lifetime…even when a lifetime is shorter than one hoped. 
Willard Connors knows that life will rob you. That dreams are just that—dreams. And no matter how hard one prays, a star riddled with faults will always be riddled with faults. 
What Will is yet to learn, is that he is stronger and braver than he ever imagined he could be. And that gifts from the heart leave a lasting imprint—an imprint unable to be erased.

 With life there is love… with love there will always life. 










“The storyline is heartbreakingly beautiful, it is raw and real. I absolutely love reading Belle Brooks novels and look forward to more from her.” - United Indie Book Blog

“I am seriously blown away. I received this book as a "mystery book". No idea of the cover, author, or title until I finished. I'm SO glad I took the risk and went in blind because this book cut me deep!” - Reader Review

“A read that will stay with me always.
I will never forget May and Will.
Their story will be forever ingrained in my heart.” - Bloggers From Down Under

First off, I must say this is my first book by this author and I went in blind. I love doing that with books when I can. Boy was I not prepared for this story. It rips your heart out. It has you crying and truly thinking about it even when you have to be a part of the real world. This book brought out so many emotions and it is definitely worth the ride because this story touches you in a deep way. I loved this book and the writing was beautiful. A must read! I can't wait to read more by this author.

[Release Blitz * Review Bundle] MAKE ME by C.M. Owens @CMOwensAuthor @BookSmacked

From USA Today Best Selling Author C.M. Owens

Make Me

by

C.M. Owens
A Sterling Shores Novel
Release Date: January 30, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance

#SterlingShore #MakeMe #CMOwens

Synopsis

DALE
I'm a mature and very pragmatic person, whom others like to call boring.
At least I was...until Harley came back into town...
What do you do when a girl comes back for some petty revenge against you and seduction is part of her game?
You pretend to be a millionaire dom, of course.
Yeah...it sounded better in theory. My execution keeps ending up in awkward messes, and this game between us gets even messier when I learn more about Harley. She's easy to fall for, even though she's hazardous as hell.
What happens when all the games end?

***

HARLEY
One simple little goal turns into one giant disaster.
On the surface, Dale Sterling seemed like an a*****e from my past; the typical arrogant guy who boulders through life and anyone in his way. So a little revenge seemed plausible, considering what he did to me once upon a long time ago. In hindsight, it was immature. But revenge has kept me on top of the world since I stopped being on the bottom of everyone's shoes, so I make no apologies for my immaturity.
But Dale is weirdly kinky...
Everything is going fine...until it gets real. Now the guy I wanted to humiliate is the same guy I'm begging my heart not to stupidly fall in love with.
Unfortunately, my heart tends to be stubborn.

*Can be read as a stand-alone
*NO cliffhanger
*Sexual content
*Adult language

Worth Every Minute!
I was never really attached to Dale, and I will admit that I was not too enthused about this book coming out, but C.M Owens did it again. Everything she writes is gold! Dale and I may have had a bad first impression, but he is one of my top Sterling Boys now. I freaking LOVED this story. EVERY PERSON NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK!

Anne Milne

I read the blurb and I couldn't wait to get my hands on the book, I just knew it was going to be fun.
The book starts off in the past with the guys in school. It was here that I fell in love with Harley her story is one that many will relate to. I adore her, she reminds me of myself at school geeky and awkward and unsure where she fits in.
She returns home years later with one thing on her mind revenge now I know you should turn the other cheek but I was cheering her on. From the start, you can feel the chemistry with Dale but because of the past she's wary but he's quite determined. The whole pretend Dom had me laughing out loud, those guys are nuts. 
There are some misunderstandings, some horrible people her Dad is the worst I wanted to punch his lights out but I loved when she finally gets friends that stand by her she becomes part of the Shore family. 
We get to catch up with the guys and get some hints for the next book which I can't wait for.

Dale sterling. Ok so have you read the other books? No? You should go do that simply because this series is amazing but this can work as a stand-alone. But let me tell you, you slowly want and need to know more about Dale. And his book is everything I wanted it to be. Also, Harley is definitely the one to give him a run for his money. This series is seriously one that stays with you no matter how much time passes and it makes it easy to pick up the newest release with ease. The author makes these characters stick with you. I don't want to give away any secrets because Dale is so mysterious so my best advice is to go read his book and if you haven't yet go read all the books before this one. You will thank me later. This book was low on the angst and I felt it was a great blend of reality and the sterling glitz we all love. It flows right along and before you know it you're done with the book and wondering when the next one will release.

Are you a closet nerd out for revenge?
Do you relish the underdog getting the win?
Does a small (or extremely large) part of you wish karma happened where you could witness it?

Then one click now.
Still not sure...

Do you like interconnected stand alones that focus on an awesome group of eclectic individuals who would overwhelm and make you feel at home all at once?

Still thinking...

How about a guy who pretends to be a Dom to scare a girl off only to desperately Google things to keep her coming back for more?

Seriously you're still on the fence...ugh! Time to bring out the big guns.

Think about how beneficial it is to have doctors in the circle of friendship when American Pie like mishaps become dangerously normal.

That one had to have you one click! 
No, you must be hardcore. Ok then, you leave me no choice. I will break out the feels.

Despair, loneliness, abandonment, humiliation, regret, love, tons of lust, hesitation, and heartbreak

But which one is the closer...which feeling ends the fun, flirty, and down right amusing adventure these two embark on?

Guess now's a great time to one click, huh?!?!

Excerpt

DALE

“I don’t have any idea how to use all this stuff,” I whisper-yell, and they both turn to look at me like I’ve sprouted a second head.
My cousins are loading down baskets full of somewhat complicated, kinky shit, yet I’m the one who is an idiot for not knowing how to use it.
Unbelievable.
I should have gone to Rye and Brin.
“You don’t actually use it,” Maverick says, his smile turning mocking.
“You kinky bastard,” Corbin adds, goading me with his own taunting smile.
I’m going to kill them both.
“Then why are we buying it?” I growl.
They exchange a horrified look mixed with fascination before doubling over, laughing harder and drawing too much attention our way.
“You really are a kinky little shit, aren’t you?” Maverick asks through his guffaws. “You wanted to use this stuff?”
Dead. They’re both dead.
“It’s always the quiet ones,” Corbin says, too damn amused for his own good.

[Sisterhood Reviews] EMBODY by S.E. Hall @Sehallauthor

EMBODY
by S.E. Hall

Blurb
I'm not "damaged." No horrible childhood or demons in my past I'm trying to outrun. In fact, my family is ideal — funny, supportive and filled with couples that all follow "our" golden rule:

Find her. Protect her. Love only her, with everything you are, every day, for the rest of your life.

So why is it the mere thought of a monogamous relationship, more than one night with the same woman, sends me bolting in the other direction?

Because I hadn't met Bellamy Morgan yet.

When I do cross paths with her, everything starts to slowly make sense. Why men change overnight — suddenly blind to all women but her, happy to hold her purse and watch corny movies.

Just one problem — she's my little sister's best friend.

Embody is a spin-off, STANDALONE novel from the bestselling Evolve Series.

Review by Becky Rendon
5 of 5 stars

 When you know, you know.
When an author repeatedly makes you giddy, happy, and laugh your ass off, you know that you want to read the next one.

***But here's my painful confession: I have not read the Evolve series. I own them all. Bought them, downloaded them on my kindle, and somehow neglected them. Please don't hate me.

You do not NEED to read or have read the Evole series. I'm sure it makes it a much better reading experience and the comments about the parents crew would be more meaningful BUT IT IS NOT NECESSARY. You will still love and enjoy this spin off series.***

Now back to my real review:

When you know, you know. When that one person makes everything better...When you can't imagine tomorrow without them...When they love your ridiculously wild family...When only they make sense...YOU KNOW!

For the first time in his life, JT Kendrick gets it. Now to explain it all to the beautiful, proud, and exasperatingly perfect red head that is hanging out with his sister.

Ugh really, her new best friend. Ok some would say cliche, but hello- she's hot, he's hot. JT - can work it. But obviously the apple doesn't fall from from the tree because over the top, overly generous, and extravagant gifts seem to materialize every where for Bellamy.

Will it be too much? Is it insta-love or insta-lust? Can a bad boy change his ways?

I seriously was giggly, giddy, and laughing my way through some wildly inappropriate conversations, situations, and just content to watch this family in action.

If you love zany friends/family...
1. the inappropriate jokes
2. the exasperated parents shaking their heads at their kids
3. the friend who asks about your orgasms in a large public place without a filter or whisper

Or if you are all about the alphas...
1. over protective ...in a good way
2. kind, caring, nurturing
3. bossy

Need a little naughty...
1. dirty talking
2. agile and needy hands
3. clearly knows what he's doing and did I mention he's a filthy talker...
4. DIRTY TALKING

So to wrap up my long and hopefully motivational review, YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK! It is too good to be bought and ignored. so much do that I need to "dust off" the Evolve series and see how much I've been missing.

Oh and shout out to Jill Sava because that cover...hot damn!

Review by Anne Milne

I forgot just how much I loved all the characters from the Evolve series it made me want to go back and read them again.
JT is just like his dad Dane he's definitely a chip off the old block, I loved seeing Dane in dad mode he's everything I thought he would be. So JT is protective of his family some may say he's over the top but I love him, an alpha in training who's learned everything from his dad and uncles. Bellamy is such a beautiful character, she's funny and fiesty, independent, strong and so sweet and genuine that you can't help but like her.
I really enjoyed seeing JT become the man his parents and family had raised him to be, I enjoyed the slow burn of their relationship and getting to meet all the squad who hopefully we will see in future books.

Review by Anne Milne

Jackson and Ana are finally free living the life they always wanted together but with Braiden back Ana is scared and unsettled she doesn't trust him and you can't blame her Ana is pregnant and vunerable when trouble comes back into their lives. Jackson does what he always does and try's to protect Ana even if it puts him in danger. Braiden and Cara are in the thick of the action although their love is fresh and new it's strong and I'm so happy he's found his one. 
This is a series I would definately recommend it may have started as a college romance but it evolved into so much more and I'm so glad I read them all. 
I'm really hoping we get a book for Dennis and Cassie I think that will it be an emotional twisty story if we get it.

[Release Blitz] SINGE by Aly Martinez @AlyMartinezAuth #TRSoR



Singe

by

Aly Martinez

Release Date: February 6, 2017
Genre: Romantic Suspense




Blurb

She was my nightmare. Every time I closed my eyes, I watched her fall into that inferno. Over and over, I failed to save her. 

I hadn’t been able to reach her, and the guilt only burned hotter over time. Four years later, I was the unreachable one. 

Heroes aren’t always saints. Sometimes, we’re nothing more than jaded sinners driven by sleepless nights and hearts full of darkness. 

And then I met her. She was a dreamer who managed to soothe my scars and heal my wounds. 

But, as the flames closed in around us, I feared I wasn’t the right man to save her. That is until I realized she was the one woman I’d burn the world down to protect.

Review by Becky Rendon

4.5 stars

These aren't tears, I got smoke in my eyes. What smoke hurts, hence crying. Not tears. Just something in my eye...

Okay, so let me start with the comment that the blurb itself is hot in the absolute protective vibe it exudes. I got giddy with anticipated alpha hotness just reading the blurb. So let me tell you my post-read reaction: Smokin'. Jude is a smokin' hot, broody alpha. The man's heart is wrapped in a cloak of darkness and terror. One night changed his world and his nightmares constantly remind him of his flaws. His failure.

But the saying is: one man's failure is another's hero, right? No, well it should be. But heroes are for fairytales right, real life doesn't happen that way...

If you ask Rhion, real life is stranger than fiction. But she finds fiction far more entertaining because her life is a sad tale. Rhion lives in an unconventional way. She would tell you her life started and stopped that night. She would tell you that Jude is Jude. She would mean every word of her story too. Does that make it true?

One side blames, one side honors. Which side of the story is true? 

I have to say that Aly Martinez throws a wicked fast curveball. And she throws it while you're facing a different direction. I was caught off guard and unaware. I knew shady stuff was probably going down, but wow was that out of left field. Singe just made me love her more. I may have started stalking the author once I read Retrieval. (Harmless Facebook stalking. I haven't upgraded/escalated yet. No police involvement. Guardian has not yet been hired.) So I may not be the best judge of character, but writing that I can judge. This woman has talent in spades. Her characters and story line suck you in faster that a car accident on the highway (don't even pretend you don't watch the clean up whether in horror or sympathy). Just like that car wreck, you are helpless to stop and nothing you do will change the outcome but you are still praying for a happy ending. So my twisted metaphor aside, this is a book to read. Just watch your back, Apollo is lurking there somewhere.

Review by Anne Milne

Aly, Aly, Aly, what have you done to me? I feel like you've shook me up and turned me around. The blurb literally gave me the chills I wanted to read it soooo bad. 
The prologue had me on the edge of my seat as if I was watching behind my fingers. Our first meeting with Jude is devastating it's intense scary and heartbreaking I found myself going back to that prologue several times, because I was screaming inside noooooo and from that moment on I was Jude's I don't care what he did or said in the future I was his. 
When we meet Rhion I'm not going to lie, I wasn't sure if she was crazy, eccentric or neurotic or a mix of all three. She was a seriously confusing character and just when I'm getting a handle on her we flip to a room full of male hotness. The way the author describes them tells you everything you need to know about these alpha men who take protective to a whole new level. 
Both parts of the story, past and present, are woven so well into the story it's seemless, it's raw ,and it's emotional and it hurt my poor little romantic heart. You think you know how the story is going to end, but then the author throws a bomb into the story and it takes a plot twist that you will never see coming but it still stays true to the story. Would I recommend this book? Absolutely I will. You need to add this to your reading list asap.
