Review: Heartbreaker by Stacey Kennedy (Filthy Dirty Love #1)

Image
Note: This ARC was provided by the author via Tasty Book Tours in exchange for an honest review. Heartbreaker is both my first Stacey Kennedy read and the opening salvo in the author's new Filthy Dirty Love series, which is self-published. After getting her heart broken by her boyfriend of six years--made worse by him choosing to end things over the phone and pointing out that she wasn't at par with the more exciting life he envisions for himself in New York--Joss O'Neil is done with relationships for now. When a hot guy at a bar makes her a one-time offer for both of them to feel really good, she takes him up on it. While it was an encounter to remember, the last thing she expected was to find herself face-to-face again with Maddox Hunt--her hook-up from a year ago and now, her superior at the police department she's been assigned to. Even more of a surprise is Maddox's offer for them to go at it again...and then again. When Maddox suggests that they explo

Good Boy (WAGs #1) by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy Release Date: January 31, 2017 About Good Boy Hosting her brother’s wedding for an MVP guest list is the challenge of Jess Canning’s life. Already the family screw-up, she can’t afford to fail. And nobody (nobody!) can learn of the colossal mistake she made with the best man during a weak moment last spring. It was wrong, and there will not be a repeat. Absolutely not. Even if he is the sexiest thing on two legs. Blake Riley sees the wedding as fate’s gift to him. Jess is the maid of honor and he’s the best man? Let the games begin. So what if he’s facing a little (fine, a lot) of resistance? He just needs to convince the stubborn blonde that he’s really a good boy with a bad rap. Luckily, every professional hockey player knows that you’ve got to make an effort if you want to score. But Jess has more pressing issues to deal with than sexy-times with a giant man-child. Such as: Will the ceremony start on time,

Beside me, Jess lets out a giggle. The music swells and one last shot fills the big screen. It's me holding a puppy in one hand, close to my face. I'd been letting the dog sniff me a little, but the photo was taken in a way that suggest we're sharing a kiss.   The sound of a hundred and fifty female sighs fills the room.   "Oh my God, Blake," Jess whispers in my ear, and I jolt when her lips brush my cheek. "You are...you're..."   "I'm what?" I ask thickly.   She squeezes my hand. "You're the best."   Her praise makes my heart soar. Damn it. I've got it bad.   I'm so fucking fucked. Cheezus, but this was one good   great  frickin' fantastic novel! Good Boy is the first book in the spin-off series entitled WAGs . With t

Review: The Knight by Skye Warren (Endgame #2)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via L. Woods PR in exchange for an honest review. "You never really let me go."   A low laugh is the only response.   Because it's the truth. He toys with me, letting me run only to pick me up by my tail. It's a twisted game, meant to amuse him, meant to scare him. Skye Warren has taken things up a couple of notches with the sequel to The Pawn . Illicitly and devilishly engrossing, The Knight  continues where the Endgame series stater left off. Avery St. James's virginity was auctioned and the winner was none other than Gabriel Milller, and the man made good on his promise to break her and leave her bleeding. He then let her go, pushing her away even though what he paid for was a month with his little virgin. But while he's let her go, Avery isn't really free. Gabriel appears at every turn, and she's left confused each time, wondering if he's actually helping or hindering her efforts to rec

Making Love by Aidan Wayne Release Date: January 30, 2017 Riptide Publishing About Making Love Carla the cupid is an excellent shot, but her chemistry is so bad that most of her matches don’t last. Her dream is to shoot a True Love pair, but until her scores improve, she’s relegated to the Puppy Love division of Aphrodite Agency. Leeta, a succubus, is looking for a True Love match. Which is highly unusual, as most succubi are aromantic. But Aphrodite Agency—her only hope—turns her away because the receptionist can’t believe she’s not just looking for an easy meal. Carla agrees to take Leeta’s case on freelance. She figures it’s a win-win: Carla gets to put a succubus’s True Love match on her résumé, and Leeta gets to find her True Love! Except as Carla tries to find a match for Leeta, she finds herself maybe . . . relieved when the matches don’t end well. And Leeta seems to be getting pickier and pickier. Things will never work out until Carla learns enough abo

27 Hours (Nightside #1) by Tristina Wright Release Date: October 3, 2017 Entangled Publishing About 27 Hours Rumor Mora fears two things: hellhounds too strong for him to kill, and failure. Jude Welton has two dreams: for humans to stop killing monsters, and for his strange abilities to vanish. But in no reality should a boy raised to love monsters fall for a boy raised to kill them. Nyx Llorca keeps two secrets: the moon speaks to her, and she’s in love with Dahlia, her best friend. Braeden Tennant wants two things: to get out from his mother's shadow, and to unlearn Epsilon's darkest secret. They’ll both have to commit treason to find the truth.
