L. Marie Adeline - S.E.C.R.E.T

So this time i was a little taken back by a book, I wasn't sure where this story was really going to be honest.

The back story involved her ex trying to make amends and then killing himself, she didn't care.

The owner of the cafe wanted her, she didn't care.

The delivery guy, the rich guy ect ect she didn't care so i was a little put off by her character, then at the end everything back fired and she chose her second choice instead.

The story was there and then towards the end it wasn't, i wanted to read book two however the write up for it kind of gave away what 75% of the book will be about so i'm not sure i'll bother.

I'd look at other work by this author but i'm not sure i'd recommend this book.

Jodi Ellen Malpas - This Man

I...erm...well...i'm a little stumped.
I had heard via forums, blogs ect that this book was a little like 50sog so i was set up for the 'me cave man, you little lady' story line, however that wasn't so much what i got. They meet normally, everything is hot and raunchy and did i say hot? then things get a little possessive, i've heard of liking someone but the things this guy does he could be arrested for stalking on several occasions and to be honest it just gets a little creepy, towards the end we get a better feel for why he's off kilter but it doesn't explain why after she's said no, no and no he's still pushing, then he throws a mad, crazy hissy fit, i mean WTF he's a grown man, banging down doors and punching peoples faces isn't something a 30+ year old man should be doing when trying to woo a women, so anyone, the story is basically them making up, falling out, making up, falling out and then breaking up.
I enjoyed the book for what it was worth and the ending was a little crazy which made me want to read book 2 however until i know his next move after being a completely and utter royal ass i'm not sure if i'd recommend it.

Charlotte Stein - Control

I read this book in the the hope it wouldn't be the same cliche story line as so many other books of late. I wasn't disappointed, the book presented me with a fun and flirty opening, a steamy and hot middle and a pleasant ending.
I did feel the book could of read a little better. It wasn't as clear in some parts and there was Times I lost the main point of the story.
Andy was often overbearing and Gabriel Weak, not submissive and well behaved but weak, maddie was the least believable when the story first began, firstly she allowed a man she didn't know make sexual advances towards her during a job interview, then she made advances on man she only assumed was interested in her and we fail to learn how as he gets him back for a second interview/trial.
We don't learn where either parties parents are yet hear about them through out the story.
I loved that this wasn't a usual dominant man takes submissive women scenario but I was disappointed in the way the characters where portrayed we seemed to miss a lot of important thing out that would of completed the story for me.

Krista & Becca Ritchie - Addicted To You

This book covered alcohol abuse and self sexual abuse on a level i've never know in a book, it was refreshing to read something that concentrated on the fact two people that on paper are so right for each other could in fact be very, very wrong for each other.
I've marked this book 4 stars because i felt whilst the main subject in this book was sex the intimacy and general details lacked during scenes of the MC's together which wasn't want i needed from these scene after being given the loaded details of the 'accidental' intimacy through out the start of the book.

Sorcha Grace - A Taste of You

Cat is a closed off, emotional, wild bundle of nerves since losing her husband so suddenly, William is an arrogant, charming, hot as hell millionaire with commitment issues.
Both of them are deep in lust within a few meetings and things go from bad to worse when neither of them are willing to commit further.

I enjoyed the book and don't wish to give too much away however during a miss-communication which i don't feel is explained very well i was put off William, his lack of ability to articulate ....well anything. He barely spoke, didn't correct and didn't apologies.

Lots of hot sex, little in the way of real conversation, i look forward to seeing if book two can straighten things out.

Lilly Wright - Begin with Goodbye

Wow, so much story fitted into such a short read.
We are taken right into the heart of things with a funeral of a loved one, friction left behind with an ex and a niece that needs her right now, it's a short read that promises so much trouble and excitement.

There is a lot of emotion in the story and a lot of things we don't have answers to, i'll be keeping up with this story but would like to hear some POV from Julian or atleast some insight as to why if he's so bad she would give in to him.

J Kenner - Wanted

I just finished this book and it was a whirl wind of emotions and heated encounters all rolled into one.
Evan isn't your usual bad boy, he wants to get clean, he knows he's wrong but he has his reasons for why he's here and now doing what he does, Angie is a whole bunch of pent up frustration and needs a sure way of letting it go without too many consequences.
The story line wavers a little before the second intimate meeting between Evan and Angie and i think we're going to see some bad writing but that doesn't happen, after the awkward club scene passes (personally i'd of up and left) we get back to why we are all here, the sex.....the scene's in this book are perfect, it's not too much kink, tied up in pretty,hot, sweaty bows of lust and heat. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read with steamy scene however this book isn't all sex, there is meaning and purpose to the characters, it just take us a while to figure out what they are.

I'd of liked to hear more about 'Ivy' and just what Evan was thinking, i'd of also change the C word since it's loved but some and hated by many but all in all it was a good read.
