Amy's 5 star Review of Undo Me (The Good Ole Boys #3) M. Robinson

I met her when I was sixteen. 
I fell in love with her when I was seventeen. 
She brought me to my knees when I was twenty. 
I loved her against reason.
 
I loved her against hope.
 
I loved her against all odds. 

Now she's back, a constant reminder of what I lost, what could have been.
 
I hate her. 
 
I resent her.
 
I still love her. 
 
Can I forgive her... 

Will she be my end once again or my beginning? 

STANDALONE within a series. New Adult Contemporary Romance: Strong language and themes, and sexual content, not intended for readers under 18. This is a Full Length Novel.

So I clicked this book up as I was stalking Tracy’s blog like I do on a daily basis numerous times a day. The cover was intriguing and I thought wow this must be something. It was the way the cover was skewed with the ocean and that you really couldn’t see the models bodies except for a woman’s hand on a man's chest as if she was searching for his heart. Covers are big for me if you can't tell … so I clicked it up. I didn’t read the synopsis and I realized it was a book three of a series but I thought why not.

You have GOT to get this book and Im certain this series. I knew the minute I got into the first two lines of the prologue I was screwed. Who is this M. Robinson and why have I not read one of her books before because I have MISSED OUT!

This is the brutal love story Dylan McGraw and Aubrey Owens. Brutal isn’t even a strong enough term and it also doesn’t even touch the emotion on these pages. I assume you meet these two in the previous books. Well Im certain that you meet Dylan. Don’t worry I plan on racing back and clicking the previous two books up because my entire being was not only ripped to shreds while reading this one but it was trampled, stomped on, gas thrown on it and lit to a burning inferno. What in the ever loving hell. At one point I just fell onto the floor and said I can't take it … not again; not more. 

The characters are written in a strong manner. You can picture Alex, Lily, Lucas, Jacob, Austin and the entire crew vividly in your mind. I saw the ocean, the restaurant …. Everything …. It was like I was sitting right there. 

Trust me on this. I know I haven’t said anything about what these two go through, how they meet, what's in store … because I can't. You need to read it. Anything I say will taint what you will find on the pages. This is a standalone of course but you won't want it to be. You will want to grab the others along with the release that just hit the store TODAY. Its there and it's live .. I just looked. – 

Dear Lord please give me strength …. This is a brilliant read …..

The Deliverance Of Dilan
Kathy Coopmans
4 stars

Dilan Levy is seeking revenge. He did his time for a crime he didn’t commit. Falling for a woman he can't have he sets the war into motion. A war he plans on finishing and winning but he has to protect Anna; his one and only love. 

Anna Drexler can't forget the man who walked away from her. He said he didn’t want her but she knows he didn’t mean it. She knows he felt it to. What she doesn’t understand is why he walked away after being shot. Six months longing for a man she can't have. But Dilan is home. She knows he is going to be at the wedding and she is ready for him. He can't mean the things he said. 

I read the first release in this series and then did not read Roan or Aidan so missing those two books left me somewhat confused. I didn’t really understand what was going on and I didn’t understand what had happened between the characters. I wish I had because I loved The Wrath of Cain. 

This series has great characters but unless you read all of the books I don’t think you will get the full jest of what these characters have been through. Dilan was ruthless in acting as he did to keep Anna safe. He is cold as ice. The story is full of suspense and the boys are all back making this release a huge plus.

This family is loyal to the end. I loved the end .. there is not a cliffhanger but a warning of sorts … so having said that I need to go back and pick up Roan and Aiden so then Empire releases I am ready. 

Thank you Kathy for the ARC. Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets. 

Amy's 5 star ARC Review of Snare (A Road Kill MC #4 ) by Marata Eros

A secret baby. A stepbrother that can't forget her.

Forbidden Love 

Some women are untouchable. Like a stepsister who's alive because of his sacrifice. 

Snare is part of the Road Kill MC, and as sergeant at arms, he takes his role as protector seriously. 

He always has. 

Snare doesn't discuss the scar that almost took his eye or the ultimate protection it provided for the only woman he's ever loved. 

The sweet butts provide the distraction he needs and the emotional disconnect he craves. 

Snare is married to the club. He doesn't need a woman who disappears without a trace. 

Guilt 

Sarah tries not to think of Snare. It was one night. And he paid for it—they both did. 

The nightmares don't even interrupt her dreams. Much. 

Except for the secret she keeps of the child they had together, life couldn't be more perfect. 

Sarah knows that Snare isn't the type of man to toy with—or lie to. But when her abuser took things too far, Sarah couldn't allow Snare to protect her any longer. She fled and hasn't seen her stepbrother since.

The price for their love was more than fists and rage. 

It was flesh and blood. 

Can Sarah hide the truth from the one man who protected her with his own life? Will Snare deny his true feelings because of scars that run more than skin deep? 

Snare is a full-length, standalone romantic suspense novel with hot sex, no cheating, strong language, an HEA ending and NO CLIFFHANGERS. Contains disturbing themes that might be uncomfortable for some. Perfect for fans of Joanna Wylde, and who also like the dark fare of Pepper Winters.

Snare 
5 stars

I have read this series and enjoyed the previous releases. This release is a little different as it deals with a step brother situation. I'm not a huge fan of those as I think it's been overdone but this wasn't a bad read .. in fact this was a great read. From the first two chapters and the flashback you will find yourself already fallen for Sarah and Snare. 

Snare is an intriguing character and if you read the previous books you would have already met him. You don't have to read the previous releases but it helps you get closer to this character. Snare is a protector. When Sarah came into his life he had no choice but to protect her from his disgusting father. He won't let him hurt her even if his life depends on it. I knew he would be my favorite character from this series and I wasn't wrong. Committed, protector, brave and loves with a full strong and fierce heart. 

Sara can't let his father hurt her step brother. If she stays he will end up killing him. She has to leave. Without a word she is gone breaking herself and giving up the one person who meant anything to her. Sara thinks running has saved her and the only love of her life ... But someone is looking for her ... Someone she wants to find her and the other she doesn't. 

This is one crazy read. The story line is really good and the writing is the same. I always feel like I want more though. That's a good problem for an author to have. Sara is also hiding a secret that I won't tell but I think it's written in the author synopsis. I LOVED her. Strong, amazing, smart and doing what she has to in order to survive. Did I say .. I LOVED HER. Once again great characters .. Great storyline and has me waiting for the next release. 

There is no cliffhanger like the previous releases! If you haven't checked this series out go grab it up. These are free on Kindle Unlimited so you can't go wrong! Grab up Noose, Knot and Rose while you are doing your clicking! 

Thank you for the ARC Marata! Review to post to Ramblings Beneath The Sheets. This is the best release yet.

Amy's 5 star ARC Review of Addiction (Seven Deadly Sins #1) by Shantel Tessier

Addiction is the first in a series of standalones that end with HEA! 

I’m a sinner with no regrets. 
I’m a man with no shame. 
I’m a lover with no soul. 
What am I? 

You’re a loner with no friends. 
You’re a beggar with no place to go. 
You’re a face with no name. 
Who are you? 

It doesn’t really matter what I am or who you are. Everyone has sin in common. But I pride myself on doing it better. Through the eyes of another, I am envied. If they only knew the wrath I have endured. Greed can be a motherfucker, but it is what makes us strive to be better. Lust can make you burn, but without it you would freeze to death. Some of us are a glutton for punishment and want to feel the pain that reminds us we’re still alive rather than overcome by sloth. 
The lure of these seven deadly sins is like an addiction. And I intend to indulge in each of these unforgivable sins.

Addiction
A Seven Deadly Sins Novel Book One
Shantel Tessier

5 stars 

This was my first read by Shantel and it was amazing. You will feel the pain that addiction can bring into your life and the destruction it leaves in its path ten fold. This is a well written story with great characters that I hope to see down the road. 

Seven Deadly Sins is the club owned by Case and Brecken; best friends who are making money running drugs and using the club as a front although the club is also holding its own. Case is a hardened man. He knows what he wants and he gets what he wants. He also shares if you know what I mean. Rachel (insert mean face) is all too happy to split herself between Brecken and Case or have them both at the same time as well. It’s a win for all involved. Case is a very charismatic and mysterious character. I was taken with him for some reason. I felt as if here was more than we were seeing as well as much more to his story. He was someone that scared me but excited me all at the same time. That forbidden fruit! LOL!

Taylor and her brother Blane have grown up around drugs. Her father decided his addiction was more important than his children. Since Taylor was twelve she and her brother have been bailing her father out; making excuses. But its finally time to make him face the music. Another phone call in the middle of the night to come get him; bail him out is not what Taylor needs right now. Blane sends her back to bed and heads off to take care of their father one last time. 

From this point on the story takes some serious twists and turns. Everything you think you know will be wrong. The story is heartbreaking at points but necessary. I loved the depth of the characters and the things I didn’t see coming were things I really didn’t see coming. I had no IDEA and it was a huge shock. 

This is a brilliant read. Addiction is something that we don’t see on the outside. If you know someone who has an addiction that is taking from their life get them help. Don’t wait. Great read Shantel! 

Thank you so much for the ARC! I am anxiously waiting Brecken’s story as he is a fantastic secondary character. This is a great start to what is set to be a really good series for us to enjoy. 

Excellent job in shedding light to a horrific taboo subject in a wonderfully written story. Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.

Amy's 4.5 star ARC Review of Dex (Kinky Shine 1) by Stephanie Witter

She succeeded in making him feel like a man. A normal functioning man when he hadn’t felt that way in years. 

"Who're you f*cking?" 

When my father, manager of the worldwide phenomenon Kinky Shine, asked me to come and help the band members appear more approachable I never thought my first meeting with Dex Bowers would start with such a question. 

Immediately, I wanted to strangle him, wipe the smirk off his face and force him to mutter more than three words. 

But there's something mysterious about him that was electrifying and the more he pushed me away and angered me, the more I wanted to know him and push through his hangups. 

"Trust. That f*cking trust thing didn't come easily to me." 

In the five years since my band became famous, not once had I been photographed with a woman. I knew it fed the supposed mystery surrounding me, but the real truth was far more humiliating than I was comfortable with. 

That was until Harley Floyd walked in and I was left with a mind numbing lust for her that scared me shitless. It should be easy to let go and trust her just enough to have fun, to be happy I could finally come up with new material for our next album. But nothing was easy and with a life made of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll I wasn't sure if anything could last. Not even my band. 

"What twenty-five year old was f*cking lost when his cock was rock hard when close to a gorgeous woman? One answer to that; a man who hadn’t had sex in a really long time." 

**For readers over 18 only.**

4.5 stars

This was a totally different read for me. I am usually the MC, Mafia, Murder girl so when this turned up on my Kindle I didn’t know what to think as I hate when I don’t care for a book and have to write a review. HOW WRONG WAS I? This was so good. I loved the characters and loved the fact that the story wasn’t focused on the “rock star” tours, screaming women, etc. This was so much more and what a story it is. 

Dex Bowers is the lead singer of Kinky Shine. The man is a beautiful creature and a mysterious one at that. He rarely speaks in more than two or three word sentences and no one knows who he really is. This is exactly how Dex likes it. His band mates know some of the traumas that has caused him to blend in with the shadows but not all of it. They know enough to understand and not push. After a great tour and a landslide record Dex can't seem to get a song out of his head; meaning he can't seem to get anything down on paper; not a lyric, not a verse not a chord …. Not only he is having a writers block but he has just insulted the one woman he should not have. Better yet he doesn’t understand the reaction he has having to her either. 

Harley Floyd has been a fan of Kinky Shine for as long as they have been around. Her father manages them and he has asked her to help push them further into the limelight; trusting her to handle them as she is the best. Sitting in front of her is the guy whose music she has admired … but this man is the biggest jerk she has ever met. Did he really just ask her what she thinks he did? 

Harley is a strong female lead and I love that. Dex is a brooding male lead with issues he doesn’t care to explain to Harley. The chemistry between these two is something but it comes with hurdles. The love story between these two will blow you away. I loved what stood between them as it blew apart the womanizing rock star. Not that I would wish on anyone what Dex had been through but it the storyline was brilliant. 

This is the first book in the Kinky Shine series. Next up is Maxen! I can't wait to get my hands on it not only to hear his story but to also continue to see where Dex and Harley are! 

Great read and a start to a great series! Thank you so much for the ARC! I LOVED THIS! Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets. 

Amy's 3.5 star ARC Review of Lost & Bound by Tara Hart

2 years 
38 weeks 
4 days 

That’s how long I've been here. Captive. Frightened. Alone. 
The little human contact I receive is not what I crave. It's not a friend’s comforting arm or my mother’s swift kiss. It's rough contact—forced, and familiar for all the wrong reasons. I don’t want him there, but I’m powerless to stop him. He says that he owns me and that I am his. 
“Emmy,” he calls me. That’s not my name, but as more time passes I’m starting to forget things. 
What is my name? Where am I from? Who was I before I came here? 

6 days 
11 hours 
14 minutes 

That’s how long I’ve known Callum, and already, I trust him with my life. I was so sure I would never crave another man, but he challenges everything I thought I knew— everything I felt. 
He says that he’ll save me. I believe him. 
He calls me “Leila.” It sounds like a name that belongs to me and it reminds me of a past I was starting to forget. 
The escape is planned and my fate is in his hands, but if this doesn’t work, what will become of me? 


WARNING: This book contains disturbing situations, graphic depictions of rape, strong language and violence.

3.5 stars

Leila and Callum – this is a dark dark read so if you don’t care for those don’t pick it up. This book focuses on human trafficking, selling of women and rape. 
Callum needs to save the woman he sees. The man can't leave her. 

Emmy is not the name she was given but it's what she is being called. The man she just met she trust more than she has ever trusted anyone. She remembers nothing. She was held captive for over two years and her life started to fade. But this man who she has only known a short time says he wants to save her and gives her hope. After all this time she doesn’t know what to think. Her life has been a nightmare. It was supposed to be a new beginning filled with hope but it's been the opposite. How did she get here and where did she go wrong? 

This story will keep you guessing. It wasn’t a bad read but it wasn’t what I thought I guess. The situations are somewhat brutal. There is a lot of things that are somewhat confusing. The first meeting of Callum and Emmy is somewhat bizarre. I wasn’t sure how this could have even happened. However it does put the start of the story into a whirlwind for sure. 
If you like dark romance then pick this one up. I didn’t not like it I just couldn’t wrap my head around the meeting of Callum and Emmy.

Amy's 5 star ARC Review of Sociopath's Obsession (Sociopath 1) by V.F. Mason

Sapphire

Life, as I knew it, was over one year ago.
I lost my family, my home and any support that came with it.
Living in a crappy apartment with my roommate and working two jobs was not how I envisioned my future.
However, that was one of the things my family had taught me.
Dreams and illusions held no power in the real world.
All this was worth it though as long as I knew I was safe.
Until he showed up, shattering any peace I had.

Sociopath

Violence towards those who wronged me was my only salvation and revenge.
Nothing brought me greater pleasure than the pain and suffering I inflicted on my victims.
Until I met her.
She became my obsession.
Sapphire.
My Sapphire.
If I were a better man, I would have left her alone and never made her part of my life.
But I was a monster.
And monsters didn't have hearts.

Warning: 18+ due to sexual content, profanity, abuse, graphic violence, and adult subject matter.
Sociopath is a two part series. 

Sociopath's Obsession (Sociopath 1)
V.F. Mason

5 stars and 5 more and find however many more you have and attach them to this book. 

Holy Geezus, Mary and everyone else too. I am completely speechless. Who is this V.F. Mason and where has she been? The first thing I did after reading this and catching my breath and reading the last page again and another time and again I went digging for a picture of this Mason writer person. I went to Goodreads, FB, personal website and nothing .. not one stinking photo. Why did I do this? Because I wanted to see the mind that wrote this horrifically beautiful, shocking and tragic mind boggling just delicious bender. 

I do have to warn readers. The subject matter is not for the faint of heart. There are no in depth descriptions and nothing that made me cringe but you all also know I like the more edgy stuff. There is abuse, very adult situations, and topics that might not be for everyone. I can't say what exactly because it would be a spoiler. What I can tell you IF you are reading and you just can't make it through them you can skip over because you will understand what made the man the way he is. (There are only two very short snippets I would consider maybe difficult for some to read.) Now since I have that disclaimer for you all let me get down to the dirty .. and lord it's a hot mess. 

Sociopath was his name or at least the name those who received an email from him knew him as. If you saw his name you knew the end was coming. The world knew about him as well. He was a hunted man but no one could find him and know one would find him. He was too good at what he did. Revenge wasn't even what this was about. It was about the torture, the hunt and the kill. There was a reason for him ridding the world of these horrid creatures. They were cut from the devil. The devil that he knew too well. There was no salvation for him. She was not the target but she was there. Sapphire. He should not have touched her but he couldn't turn away from her. She was no different than the others. Sociopath's always get what they want, play with what they want and in the end do what they want. 

Sapphire thought she knew life. Her parents stuck their noses in the air and currently she was attending another event that was being held to shield the other do gooders from the truth. Thinking back on that night it was the night she met the man who electrified her soul. Now after being disowned by her parents he is here again. She has dreamt of him. She thought he would come for her the night she was banished. She waited in the same spot she first met him but he never came. Now there is so much more. He doesn't remember her ..... 

I have never in my life been so involved in a book that I completely lost time. I don't know where this story came from but lawd have mercy I hope V. F. Mason has several more wrapped up in that head and is pounding them out on the computer right now. Let me tell you these characters will snatch you up into their world. The events on the pages of this charismatic and terrifying story will have your heart barreling through brick walls to get to the end. Oh but no ... don't do that ... try to slow down because the end is the worst BEST most brilliant part. We use the word cliffhanger so casually ... this is more than that .. this is a hurricane and a tsunami all wrapped up in one big kabaammmmm! V.F. dropped the mic, held her hands out and gave us a "take that shit" head nod and quietly walked away laughing. WTF! JULY --- JULY! That's when we get the rest or who knows she may kill us more. 

All I can tell you is if you want a book that is going to crawl up into your skin and grab a hold of your soul this is it. It's brutal, it's terrifying, it's consuming and it's one of the best (yes friends) love stories of two people I have EVER read. And no I don't feel bad about it ... maybe I have issues but you know what this man knows what he wants and so does Sapphire. The rest just is what it is. Promise me one thing though -- when you flip to the last page -- take a deep breath -- read it again and again and THEN go back and read the prologue. Everything that has not connected will and the revenge in your heart, if it had no already, will take a swift turn. That doubt of you being completely jacked in the head will leave and you will see your not as crazy for loving this story as you thought you were .... because you are going to LOVE Sapphire and Sociopath. I may be sick and twisted but you know what .. I own that! 

Sweet baby Jesus - V. F. Mason I don't know where you have been but you are on my radar now. Thank you for the ARC. I saw this one roll across my news feed and I thought I might end up clicking it up. I should have known Tracy already had it pegged for me to review. She knows my sick and twisted love. This is just an all consuming amazing read. The characters are GAH! This series is going to be sitting right up there with all my other crazy messed up men I love. This isn't just a drill them and kill them friends there is depth to the storyline, the characters again are written with a craft of being able to picture this brutal man, this torn woman, and the situations they both in a sense perished from and were "reborn" around. It's extremely difficult for me to express what I am without giving spoilers and I don't do those. 

July .... I need July ...... I need it now ..... Thank you thank you thank you for writing this epic tale.
