Never Never by Tarryn Fisher & Colleen Hoover [SBM Reivew]


Never Never
(NeverNever #1)







Best friends since they could walk. In love since the age of fourteen.
Complete strangers since this morning.
He'll do anything to remember. She'll do anything to forget.


I'm not sure what just happened, but I do know that I loved it!!! Both characters are trying to  find out what has happened to them and who they were while figuring out who they are. Such a great book, I know I'll be reading it a few more times again before the next part comes out!!

"If I can't remember , it doesn't count!"

The After House by Michael Phillip Cash [SBM Reivew]


The After House






Remy Galway and her daughter Olivia are rebuilding their life after a failed marriage in a 300 year old cottage in historic Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. Little do they know, another occupant is lurking in the haven of their own home. Will the After House be their shelter or their tomb?


I love a good ghost story!! This wasn't what I was expecting. It was so much more! I just loved the idea of the spirit world needing the mortal world as much as the mortal world needing the spiritual world. Even after death a person is who they were in life. The love stories along with the twist in the story kept me glued to my e-reader. This is the first book I've read from Cash and I can't wait to read another from the author! 


Hansel (Part 1) by Ella James [SBM Review]


Hansel
(Part 1)






One boy. Mother calls him Hansel. 
One girl. Mother named her Gretel. 
Locked in little rooms, in the mountainside mansion of a crazy woman. 
Until he saws a hole into the wall dividing them. 
Then at least, they have each other’s hands. 

It doesn’t end well at Mother’s house. 
Everything gets…broken. 

Ten years later, they meet again in an exclusive Vegas sex club. 
Whips. 
Chains. 
And most of all, a mask. 
What happens to love when it gets twisted? 

Fairy tales are cautionary tales, remember? 

*This is a dark, erotic romance featuring themes some readers might find disturbing. If you don't enjoy dark romance, it may not be for you.



WOW what a ride! I love the fairy tales written by James, but was a little afraid of this one. The brother and sister element of the story made me a little nervous. James spin on the fairy tale was amazing!! I can't wait to continue the story and find out where James takes us. An old tale with a new twist!

Garrett by Sawyer Bennett [SBM Reivew]


Garrett
(A Cold Fury Hockey #2)





Carolina Cold Fury star Garrett Samuelson never wants to miss out on a single minute of fun. Whether he’s playing hockey, hanging out with friends, or walking the red carpet with a new date on his arm, he lives every day to the fullest. When he meets Olivia Case, he sees someone who’s exactly his type—confident, sexy, smart . . . his next fling. But the more he pursues her, the more Garrett shares a side of himself that other women don’t normally get to see.
 
Olivia has been keeping a secret. While Garrett lives for the next thrill, Olivia’s not sure she’ll live to see the next day. She’s undergoing treatment for some serious medical issues, and she doesn’t have time for a relationship with no guarantees—especially one with a hot-as-sin womanizer who won’t take no for an answer. But as she gets to know the real Garrett, Olivia can’t help falling for him . . . hard. To reveal the truth would mean risking everything—but you can’t score without taking the tough shots.



Wow that was such a great story!! I don't know what I was expecting, but I do know this story was more than I could of imagined. Such a heartwarming story. Garrett is a one night kind of guy until he meets Olivia. Olivia is facing a life changing event and decides to live life to the fullest while she still can. Garrett wasn't what she was expecting and it just melted my heart. I loved this story and just love Garrett and Olivia.



Wild Violet by Vivian Winslow [SBM Reivew]



Wild Violet
(Gilded Flower Series #7)










We get Vi's story!!!


If you have been following The Gilded Flower series then you know Vi is more than meets the eye. Winslow gives a look into the what, when, and how of Vi's life. I loved the first two stories, but after reading this I think Vi's story just might be favorite!! I loved how, Winslow, wrote her story. It's not just a retelling of a story from another characters point of view. When pants events are mentioned it's just to give the reader an idea of where on the time line it falls. This is a totally Vi's story!! I also appreciated how Winslow gave me a fast forward of all of Vi's important life events that brings us to the present! There wasn't one boring part of the whole book!! I can't wait for the next part of the story!
