Craving Constellations (The Aces MC) by Nicole Jacquelyn

What can I say.... I'm a sucker for MC books. I am a MC Book Slut!  All I need to hear is there is a hot alpha with a Harley and Tattoos and I am giving that book a try.....No arm twisting needed....and I am sooooo glad I gave this one a chance.   

Holy FUCKING SHIT BALLS!  I started this book and didn't stop until I was done.  And then just sat here in a book coma.......Nicole just gave me a Mind FUCK  

5 stars for this authors debut novel!  

I must warn you though if you are into Pretty, Sweet romances with rainbows and shit....this isn't the book for you.  This book had such Angst, Rawness, Gritty and down right Dirty at times.  It touches on things that some readers will not be able to handle.  It was full of emotions!

Brenna grew up in the MC "Princess of the Aces MC" and left home to start over to get away from the life she didn't want anymore only to be drug into a different kind of life....an abusive one! Her clean cut husband became an abusive asshole!  When it gets to be too much for her she packs up and takes her young child and runs right back to the life she left years ago....to her father, to dragon and the Aces MC!  The entire MC feels betrayed and hurt over Brenna just up and leaving all those years ago.  Once she confesses to what has happened to her over the past five years the MC is FURIOUS and out for revenge.  No matter how mad they were at her for leaving she is the "Princess of the Aces MC" for fucks sake.  No one will hurt her! 

"I told myself I was running to my Pop, but I wasn't. I was running to Dragon the same way I had always run to him in my mind when I needed him."

Dragon....oh sweet baby Jesus that man is pure alpha! He's tall,has a full beard, long hair, dimples,tattoos and swears like there is no tomorrow. He is absolutely 100% bad ass ALPHA MALE.  He is possessive, dominant, rough, talks dirty and orders you around.  I love everything about this man!  

He is PISSED when he sees that Brenna is back.  One night of passion years ago...him not knowing she was the Vice Prez daughter....turned into him wanting her all these years.  Her leaving without a word pissed him off more.  Now, that she is home he's in trouble!  

“He was like a wounded animal, and I was the hunter who’d wounded him.” - Brenna

Not only is he in trouble with the club when they find out that he slept with her all those years ago, but he's in trouble because a daughter was conceived that he knew nothing about.  That infuriates him!  He tries to avoid his feelings for Brenna but can't....and the punishment he receives for doing what he did had my eyes tearing up....but it could have been so much worse!  

“Fuckin’ gone for five years. No one hears from you. Now, you come back, and I find out you had my daughter and didn’t tell me FOR FIVE FUCKIN’ YEARS?” His voice was steadily rising, and by the time he finished, he was roaring in my face.

He's got an old lady and once he realizes his love for Brenna he drops her.  I actually loved this one scene where he and his old lady are with Trix (his daughter) and you hear her saying something to Dragon about how they now have a daughter....well....Brenna goes all MC Princess on her.....she is no longer the stepford wife that she was when she came back....The Princess of the Aces MC is back in full force..... 

"My daughter has a mother.  She is not and never will be yours.  You stay the fuck away from her.  And if I ever see you look at her again the way you were earlier, I'll fucking cut your eyes out with a dull spoon"  

"I was the princess of the Aces MC, and I had the bloody knuckles to prove it"

I felt every emotion in this one.  We deal with her crazy ex coming back to look for her.  We see how bad ass Dragon is but we also see his extremely loving and caring side when it comes to his daughter. 

“Yeah, okay, Brenna. You wanna pretend like you and me aren’t what we are, that’s fine. I’m not gonna pretend. I’m not takin’ your bullshit either. Baby, I’ve been waitin’ five years for you. That shit’s never gone away. So, you can bitch and moan and make your own life miserable, or you can suck it the fuck up and get on the same page with me. I’m not goin’ anywhere.”

Brenna is broken.  Her husband really did a number on her.  So, she has very low self esteem and Dragon had me swooning all the fucking time when he would talk to Brenna and tell her how much he loved her body and such.  She is not happy with the way her body looks now after having the baby.  I loved how emotional it was when Dragon seen the stretch marks on Brenna.... 

“I can't believe you had my baby. She was all curled up in here, and I never saw it." He shook his head. "This is all I'll ever see, Brenna. This is all I get. Let me look.”

****
It's the hottest thing I've ever seen watching you take me. Not sayin' you're a bump on a log, for fuck's sake. You trust me to give it to you. You know I will, and you let me do it. I know you haven't been with many men, but let me tell you, that ain't how it usually is. You're so fuckin' sexy layin' there, sayin' my name, makin' those noises you make. Wouldn't trade that for anything.

*****

Love that Brenna always thought of Dragon while she was away.  He was the one who pulled her through those tough times even though he wasn't actually there.  Love that she got a tattoo on her lower stomach of a Draco.  Dragon knowing absolutely it's Dragon for him.  

The love between these two is real.  We feel every emotion from both POV's.  There are a lot of issues that must be dealt with and some secrets revealed.  There are plenty of ups and downs.  There are a few OMFG moments that left me in such shock.  That I was gasping for air.  It doesn't focus much on the actual activities of this MC...more about the "family" and it was so raw, gritty, and emotional and I couldn't get enough!

Teach Me Love by S Moose

I found this to be about Learning to Love again......

I enjoyed this book.  I will give this book 4 stars.  

So often after we lose someone we thought we were meant to spend the rest of our lives with in such a tragic way, it's hard to let them go and love again.  That is what this story is partially about.  We have Logan -CEO millionaire- Sex on a stick - who loses his true love Katherine in a tragic accident that he continuously blames himself for because he was driving the car.  He is broken!  He uses women to numb his pain.  Never really allowing himself to get close to anyone again.  

Then we have a single mom-Abigail- who has basically given up on finding her true love. She is a school teacher and barely making it.  Trying her best to provide for her and her son Lucas.  And then because it's a "Small world" and her sister, Heather, whom she has practically raised gets fired, her path crosses with Logan and sparks fly.

It's a struggle for Abigail to open up and let Logan in because she is harboring some secrets that could very well ruin any chance she has with him.  

Logan struggles through most of the book with "Letting go" of Katherine and often times "seeing visions of her".  He can't put the past behind him enough to actually let her go and allow himself to love again.  Having a ghost in a story was fairly new to me.  Did I enjoy that part....Ehhhh... I could have taken or left it.  

Logan opens up a little and forms a bond with Abigails son Lucas.  He really is a kind, gentle and loving man.  The emotional bond he forms with Lucas is the sweetest.  

I would have liked to seen more DRAMA more ANGST.  We do get a tiny bit of that when it comes to crazy B*tch Madison and a tad with the baby daddy - Ryan.  I would like to have seen more of the Alpha male we seen in the beginning when he was with Madison.  Once he gets with Abigail and they finally get hot n heavy....it's just so so.   I did like the name of Abigail's B.O.B...... "Thor"  =)  There were parts of the story I felt were a little rushed.  A few editing errors, but I can live with those.  All in all, it was a great love story.  Showing that two people can find love again.   We go on a journey of love, lust, secrets, crazy as Hell ex lovers, and with time we get a beautiful love story.

Mine (The Real series) Katy Evans

Remington Tate.... Remy....Riptide.....he is back!  And boy is he ever!  

This was written through Brooke's POV and we pick up right after we left off in the first book~ Real.  
This will be a tough review for me because I don't want to give away spoilers...... 

The two of them are just as raw, passionate, hungry for one another, possessive and in love as they were in the first book.  You can feel their emotions!  Katy is one hell of a writer let me just tell you that.  She had my emotions on over drive.  Within the first few pages, my heart was fluttering, my girly parts were smiling and I felt like I was right there.... along side the Ring.....like Remy was f*cking me with his eyes!  

This series is Addictive!  If you read and fell in love with Remy in Real....you will Love him just as much if not more in Mine!  He is a LION and on the prowl all the time.....looking for his LIONESS!   I think Remy may have just jumped up to my number one book boyfriend and I had two that were fighting for that spot already!  

Remy is a walking sex god!  He is a HOT as HELL ALPHA male FIGHTER.  Yet, he can be the sweetest man ever.  There were so many parts of this book that I was swooning over him .... it's not even funny.  He can "scent" me any day.... 

Scorpion is back and Remy is ready to go back in and take him down.  After giving up his title in the last book to save Brooke's sister.  This time...Remy is not taking any prisoners!  He is in it to win it ALL!  

Scropion is evil and out for revenge.  He causes a little bit of trouble in the beginning and that pushes Remy over the edge with hatred towards this man.  

We have to deal with Brooke being emotional and very jealous.  We have to deal with her hating herself for leaving Remy and putting him in his Dark Place again in book one.  She blames herself for a lot of things that happened when she left him.  

There is an incident and it causes Brooke to have to go home and be away from Remy for a few months and that causes some more jealousy and more sexual tension between them.  
We deal with a deeper side of Remy this time around.  Especially when it comes to his bipolar illness.  

I cried...yes I actually sat here and shed some tears during a few moments.  It was very emotional for me to read some parts.  But then Katy would turn it around and I'd be happy again.    Do we get the HEA we were after for the two of them?  Hmmmmm........ let me just say that I was happy with the way this one ended =)  I can't wait to read their story through Remy's POV!

Another 5 stars from me! 

Welcome to my newbies......

Welcome to my new followers.  I have said this before, but want to say it again for those that just joined my page.  I started a PRIVATE FB group last year.  For my friends who knew that my passion was reading and that would always text or ask "what should I read next".....  Then a few months ago,  I decided to go viral and create a REAL BLOG page for everyone to see.  It was scary for this stay at home mother and wife.  I read because I love it.  I can usually read a few books a day.  Unless of course, life gets in the way =)  I am not ashamed to say I read "mommy porn".  I love my MC (biker) books, my rock star books, romance, I even enjoy some YA.   In the past when I read a book I would just PM my authors and let them know what I thought about the book.  That is how I became friends with several authors today.  I never started a blog to get Free books or Free swag.  I started my blog to read, post what I love, to PIMP out the authors I love, to get others to one click those books, to spread the word.  Authors pour their blood, sweat and tears into writing the stories we read and if I can help promote them on my page and get them additional exposure.  That's what I am here for.  Writing reviews are often hard for me though.... I don't do spoilers.  I want everyone to go into the book like I did.... not knowing... feeling every emotion that I felt.  So, sometimes my reviews are kick ass...and sometimes they might be a tad boring.... only because I can't say too much about what I read.  KNOW THIS... If I post about it... I LOVED IT!  With this blog, I have also been approached by several authors to receive ARC's and to help promote their book blog tours and cover reveals and that is exciting!  Helping them is what this is all about for me.  Aside, from reading some very kick ass books!  So, if you are an author and need my help... PM me and I'll do it.  I actually have 2 books right now that are ARC's and that I need to get done and reviewed.  I have several blog tours and book cover reveals coming up.  I am attending my first Author Bash early next year with my Friend Andrea Smith and I am OVER THE MOON excited about that.  Yall should def grab her books if you haven't.... yes I am throwing in a PIMP in the middle of this blog post... G'Man series and her Baby Lite series.... 5 stars on both....  DO I have favorite authors?  Yes, actually I do.  We all have those authors that all we have to see is their name and new release and we one click.... My fave's are probably most peoples faves. I do have a girl crush on Jade and Madeline though.... won't lie.  So, with that being said.  I hope that when I post about a book I have read or an author I love that it helps you to one click and give them a chance.  You wont' always love a book I love.  It's cool.  I will still love ya.  I also know that some of the books I LOVE are not every ones cup of tea.  I like some seriously dark deep bat shit crazy shit sometimes.   So, welcome to my BLOG..... where nothing I read shocks me and where I stand up proud and say I am a book whore and I love mommy porn!  <3 

Knights Sinners (The MC Series- # 3) by Bella Jewel

Bella Jewel never disappoints.  Another HOT STEAMY FIVE STARS!

Jackson, Jackson, Jackson....what can I say except WOW!  <3  I felt in the previous books that I wanted Jackson to get his own story.  I am so glad he did.

Jackson and Serenity have chemistry from the beginning and he fights it for as long as he can. He doesn't think he is worthy of her and that he is too old for her.  But, when he finally gives in...it's intense and it's Hot! Can I just say that he can go all dominant alpha biker male on me anytime.  He has always been afraid to commit and spends his time with the club whores or sharing them with Muff.....
I found myself CROSSING my fingers and PRAYING for a Jackson, Serenity, Muff hook up and my prayers were answered.  HOLY SHIT BATMAN it was HOT! This book definitely had me wanting more MUFF!

When we meet Serenity at the end of book two we are left wondering just who she was and why she was there.  Then when this book starts, we quickly find out those answers and you will HATE her but then you will LOVE HER and feel so terrible for her.  MC life isn't always pretty and she knows first hand the Not so Pretty parts. Being the daughter of Hogan.  Her betrayal will have you wanting to slap the shit out of her.

We are still on the continuation of revenge from previous books and the story follows that.  Which is where the betrayal part of the story on Serenity's part comes in.  It's her father Hogan that is out for revenge on Jackson and his MC.  Hogan is not a nice person.  He beats Serenity and that part of the story breaks your heart.  She is sent in as a snitch to give her father information and if she doesn't do as he says she gets beat some more and then he threatens to kill the people that are the closest too her. 

Serenity truly falls not only in love with Jackson but the MC.  Once she is there she can not believe that this club is so different then the life she grew up in.  She sees that their is good in a MC.  She puts her own life at risk by telling her father lies.  She just can not see hurting the MC that took her in and protects her.  They didn't know who she was when she showed up. They just seen a young girl who was hurt and didn't think twice to take her in and help her.  Towards the end she again puts her own life at risk to protect NOT her father and his MC but Jackson and his.  To try and prove that she is in love with him and is loyal to them...not her father.  Shit goes down, people get hurt.  

Jackson -  takes a lot for him to open up and love again.  He finally trusts Serenity, only to find out she was betraying him.  There are several parts in the book towards then end I had my heart ripped out and what was happening and knowing Jackson was letting it.  I thought then, I can not love this man any longer......


Serenity and Jackson have both overcome a lot  and to find one another and share a beautiful love story was just that....beautiful!  I loved this book.  I loved their story.  

Bella makes this MC likable... Like seriously these guys are not only TOUGH BAD ASS BIKERS...they are SWEET LOVABLE CARING GUYS....  this series is a must read!  

Forgiving Lies by Molly McAdams

Where do I begin.... Oh Wait... Molly McAdams....that says it all!  This woman KNOWS how to write and she does it well!  I mean anyone who has read her previous books knows this.  They should also know that you usually need a box of tissues when you read her stories.

I went into this one without a box of tissues, because she promised me that she didn't cry while writing it and so that to me meant no tissues needed!  I'm calling her out..... Grant it, I didn't boo hoo cry major crocodile tears, but I did have a few moments of crying.

What can I say about this book without spoiling it for those who haven't read it....
There are many secrets in this one.....When I first started reading it and we meet Rachel, Candace and Blake I thought.... here we go.... another College romance story.... that is NOT AT ALL what we get..... I was starting to like the idea of Rachel and Blake together and then something major happens and I was like Holy crap....wth is going on!  Then we are introduced to undercover detectives-  Logan "Kash" and his partner Mason.  Then I prayed for a Rachel and Kash hook up.

I fell HARD for Kash..... Like head over heals in love with this man.  

The girls are college room mates and  have moved out of the dorms,  into an apartment together and the boys have just moved in across from them and after a not so friendly introduction on Kash's part with Rachel.... they do form a friendship... a best friendship.... that turns into something more.  Because of something that has happened to Rachel she doesn't trust men to easily.  

Kash and Mason are undercover looking for a serial killer and he hates that he can't tell Rachel his "true" identity. In his undercover line of work he is use to the made up stories they have to come up with and he knows that pulling anyone into their lives is a risk.   He has always said in their line of work there is no possible way to have a relationship.  He is as dedicated to his job as they come.  But, he falls and he falls quick for Rachel.  And in the end putting her life at risk.  

Yes, this does leave us with a cliffhanger!  GRRRR  I know..... Like I sat there thinking okay cool we will get a HEA and then I was like REALLY MOLLY....you just gonna leave us hanging like that..... 

There are a lot of mixed reviews going around about this one.  I will give this one 4 stars.  It might have been slow at parts but it kept me wanting more.  I think people were just so emotionally attached to Molly as an author because of her previous books and the roller coaster she took us on during those that they went into this with that same mind set.... this book is different.  We didn't need a box of tissues to get through it.  It was emotional and yet had suspense.   IF you love Molly....you must give this a shot!  I will sit here and just like others....wait patiently for the next book..... still can't believe she left me on that cliff.... lol  

Love you Molly!  

Stricken Desire and Sticken Unveiled (Stricken Rock series) by S. K. Logdson

I don't even remember how I stumbled upon this new author but I am glad that I did.  I was sick in bed when I started this book and it grabbed my attention and I immediately had to buy the next one.  

Rock Star, Sex, Drugs, Rock n Roll, groupies, steamy HOT Sex..... it has it all!  Yes, there are some Editing errors but I can look past those.  This author can write some sex scenes let me tell you.... WOWZA.... and even the not so hard core scenes she writes will have your panties falling off =)  

Emily is a smart mouthed, short, not a size 0, sassy girl.  She takes on a job with her guy best friend Stacy to help manage and go on the road with the rock band Stricken.  Immediately seeing Jonathan there is attitude thrown out by both of them.  They argue and fight and let's face it....in the end they hook up!  And boy do they!  YUM!  

Stacy has been her best friend since child hood.  He was there for her through her shit and she was their for him through his.  You'd think they were married the way they are with each other.  Their relationship takes a beating several times in this book.  He keeps secrets from Emily and that causes a huge strain on them.  

Jonathan- cocky, man whore, lead singer of the band Stricken.  He and Emily start out on the wrong foot.  But, something happens and he becomes attached.  Wanting her only for himself.  They begin an emotional journey of love and lust.

I swear I went through so many emotions while reading this story.  One minute I am in love with Jonathan and the next I hate him.  He truly is a MAN WHORE!  I didn't know what Emily was thinking when she would take him back.  Several times I wanted to actually cry for her.  Like, how many times can he break her f*cking heart!  


I am reviewing both books together and I apologize... I read one after the other and it's a continuation of the story....

In book two we follow Emily and Clair's relationship....yes you heard that right.... Emily takes a walk on the Lesbian side and it's just as hot as her sex with Jonathan.  Not everyone's cup of tea I know... BUT you have to get through it in order to follow the series.  A LOT happens in book two.....    I don't do spoilers so I am keeping stuff hush hush.... I personally enjoyed seeing Emily try new things and discover herself.  The sweet innocent Emily from the beginning of book one is LONG GONE in book two.  

We have James.....Jonathan's bodyguard who strictly becomes only Emily's body guard and best friend. Jonathan once again F*cks up and makes sure that Emily is protected at all times.    I am secretly hoping for a James/Emily hook up.... the licking the peanut butter off the finger scene made my girly parts tingle and I waited and waited for them to get freaky.....  

 In this book, Emily has to once again deal with the roller coaster of a relationship with Jonathan.  That man just can't keep his shit together.  He ends up at the end of book one in rehab and once he gets out in book two we think he has finally changed and truly means it and means it when he says he loves Emily.....  The boy has some serious shit going on in that head of his from his past.  The nightmares return when he is going through his off again stages with Emily.   I pray he gets his shit together in the next book.  I have rooted for them the entire two books....and yet.... I think James is a better fit for her although he in no way...... tries anything romantic with Emily.... =(   

I don't think her pursuing a real relationship with Claire is what is best for her.  I feel though, that Claire is becoming too attached and could cause problems later..... and problems seem to follow Emily and Jonathan.  Mostly because of Jonathan.  

I always say that when I do reviews it's often hard.  Because I don't like to give away spoilers.  I like the readers to fall in love or hate with the book on their own.  I want them to feel the emotions I felt when I read a book.  This book is worth giving a chance.  I've read a lot of people talk about the editing issues etc and you can get past all that.  It wasn't that big a deal to me.  I was captured by the characters and pulled in immediately.   I was taken on one hell of a roller coaster ride.  My heart ached for Emily many times.  I wanted to love Jonathan but often hated him.  I mean lets face it... it's a rock n roll love story.  We know what happens with those cocky ass rock stars.  They can't get their shit together or keep their "anaconda dicks" in their pants =)  We see Emily go through her own personal changes and struggles.  We meet several characters along the way that we fall in love with.  

I am torn though..... like in this one during this one particular scene (the plane) my heart freaking ACHED for Emily.  I was at that moment DONE with Jonathan.   So, that left me TORN..... do I continue to believe that he can change and the two of them get their HEA or do I continue to secretly pull for a romance and HEA with her and James.  Trust me ya'll... you will understand my Love of James when you read this series.  

Another thing I often say... I may give a book 5 stars and someone behind me that reads it will hate it and give it 2.   We each have our own opinions.  I personally think this new author ROCKED it and I give this series 5 stars.  I loved it.... loved it so much at the end of book two I was on a book high.....  wishing I had my hands on the next one.    

I have purposely left out some major shit that happens because I DON"T DO SPOILERS.... some of it will make sense and you will understand a lot of my hate towards Jonathan and the love I have for James once you read it......  

So, if you love the rock stars like I do... go one click and give this author a chance.
