Filthy English Review

My Review of Filthy English… If you follow my reviews, you know I’m a BIG Ilsa Madden-Mills fan. In fact I still remember where I was when I finished Very Bad Things many years ago. To say I devour her books is a gross understatement. I have count downs until I can get my hands on her novels…then I have to pace myself so that I savior each word. Dirty English was a top read for me last year. There was something unique about Declan and Elizabeth’s story that captured my attention and made me want more. In this installment, we get more than a taste of Dax Blay, Declan’s twin brother. And what a feast it is! Loosely based on Romeo and Juliet, this tale could be called a second chance romance, filled with addicting chemistry that would make any apothecary’s head spin! Remi is on her honeymoon without… Read more »

Excerpt Reveal for Filthy English by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Filthy English (unedited excerpt) Chapter 1 Remi Plain and simple, this night sucked. Sadly, it was my honeymoon. I sighed heavily and gazed around Masquerade, an intimately lit London nightclub where everyone wore black domino masks, some elaborate and some plain, to hide their identity. A few die-hards even sported dark clothing with long, loose cloaks. Not me though. I’d gone modern with a slinky little number and three-inch heels, putting my height at nearly six feet. Yep, I’m the giant in the blue dress, towering over every girl and some guys at the bar. My top teeth dug into my bottom lip as I gazed around the smoky club, my eyes bouncing off random faces. Even in a room full of party people, music, and strobe lights, I was lonely. My groom was missing. That’s right. Hartford Wilcox, Jr., aka Mr. Nice Guy at Whitman University in North Carolina,… Read more »

Review of Paper Princess by Erin Watt

Holy BeGeezus. This book. It’s so not young adult. Is it? But it’s so my type of book. It’s has everything I love in a NA story. Angst. Absolutely. Badass, hot, arrogant guys. Yep, try 5 of them. Sweet heroine with a backbone and spirit. Check. Did I mention angst? Oh, yeah, I did. How about a whole lotta steamy thoughts, wicked actions, addicting storyline… God, this book. I fought reading it for my own reasons, I really did.Then I was in a horrible book funk. Like I didn’t read a single word in two weeks. So I picked a random book from my ARC kindle library and went in blind. I didn’t even know what I was reading because it was a review copy from a promo agent. And it had no cover or title. About a few pages in I figured out what I was reading, and… Read more »

Review: Lucky Ball by Lisa N Paul

I have such mixed emotions with this book. It’s the perfect book for me, in theory. I love the sweet romances most in life. I LOVED Logan in this story; his patience won me over. Wren, I get her anxieties. I understand her trauma in high school. I also thought relying on the Fortune Eight Ball was a great and unique aspect in romance books. (It’s almost like watching a Hallmark movie but on HBO, my FAVORITE kind of movie, thus favorite ingredients for a book.) The reason for the mixed emotions… simple. I couldn’t really connect with the characters. I tried, really I did, but the third person narrative just isn’t my favorite. I’d five star this book with I could really get 1:1 with these characters, but I just couldn’t get totally invested in the story. If you enjoy third person, this is a definite one-click for you!… Read more »

GIVEAWAY and Happy RELEASE DAY for Lucky Ball by Lisa N. Paul

Title: Lucky Ball Author: Lisa N. Paul Genre: Romantic Comedy Release Date: June 1, 2016 Blurb It’s all in the luck of the ball… Quirky yet adorable, Wren Jamison couldn’t make a good decision if her life depended on it. When poor choices forced Wren to question her judgment, fate—in the shape of a small black ball—stepped in and took over. That orb became her lifeline. Now, years later, every move she makes revolves around her Fortune Ball. Every. Single. Decision. Kissing Logan Enders isn’t a strange twist of fate—the ball tells her to do it. And she does. After all, the ball is never wrong. The sexy song-writing musician needs Wren to put her trust in him—not in the small screen of a children’s game. But just like any modern woman, Wren might prefer the dependability of the toy over the uncertainty of a man. So who will… Read more »

My new favorite New Adult book… Undecided by Julianna Keyes

I picked Undecided up on a total whim. It was suggested by Amazon after I was looking at another book. I’m not going to lie, it caught my eye because I thought it may be about a triangle. (I secretly love a good triangle book when I’m in the mood.) It is NOT a love TRIANGLE story. I repeat, it’s not a triangle love story. What it is, is a PERFECT combination of charming characters, angst int he best way, and witty banter throughout this new adult story. When I started the first chapter, I couldn’t put down. I was hooked. No. Seriously, I literally couldn’t put this book down. I loved every word. I loved each and every character (from Nora to Crosbie to the secondary characters I grew to love). I loved the setting (college romance is the BEST) and plot (second chance at doing better in school… Read more »
