Torched (Hellesgate #1) by Chloe Stow


Torched (Hellesgate, #1)
A house burns on the stark Kansas horizon...

Its flames make a New York businessman abandon the back road in hopes of helping, in hopes of being the hero instead of the villain for once...

His nerve is immediately tested as he witnesses a man run into the inferno. As the New Yorker risks all to save the stranger, his life becomes forever embroiled in both a madman's deadly game of fire and revenge, and a soldier's fight not only to save his family but to save his own soul...

The New Yorker is thirty-two-year-old Matthew Archer. He is a hard man to like, a harder man still to love. Few in the world make an effort at either.

The soldier is twenty-six-year-old Cane Summerfield. He is a hero, a man who gave up his independence to defend his country.

The men are two strong, fierce personalities, from backgrounds as different as heaven and hell. They should never have met, let alone fallen in love... but theirs is a story of Fate riding in on the coattails of sin.

Theirs is a story borne of fire...

This story had me very confused at the beginning but their was just something about it that had me totally fascinated and I couldn't put it down. Eventually I began to get into this odd couple that took me by surprise, there is some major drama and I mean weird shit drama too, not just relationship stuff although there is that in there too. Matt & Cane are such a strange couple it's definitely an opposites attract kinda story and it's a fast love story too. But I'm so glad I bought it and I didn't realize that there are more in between this one and the one I already bought but I may just read it anyway and pick up the others later I really liked this story even with it's strange moments you can see these two falling in love and I enjoyed that.

From This Moment (Moonlight Breed #7) by Gabrielle Evans


From This Moment (Moonlight Breed #7)
With their scents almost as identical as their appearances, Cian Murphy can’t be certain which twin is his mate. He’s inexplicably drawn to Zavion, but if he chooses wrong, the consequences could be devastating for everyone involved.

Cian haunts his every thought, but Zavion doesn’t know what to do about it. He’s all but thrown himself at the man, yet Cian doesn’t seem to return his interest. Being just friends is better than nothing, but Zavion still can’t help but want a whole lot more.

Clearing up misunderstandings is only the start of their problems, though. With the tracking chip in Zavion’s neck slowly leaking a lethal poison, the clock is ticking to find a cure. Unfortunately, the only known antidote rests with The Hive.

Can Cian find the elusive lab before it’s too late? Or will he be forced to watch as his newfound mate wastes away to nothing

This book seven in the Moonlight Breed series which I happen to love, the characters may all have their own story but it always makes you feel like it's more about a family of characters. Each one I have read so far has left me smiling and wanting to read more about these intriguing characters, and it's no different with this one Cian we've met in previous books his mate is one of the two twins but he can't tell which one since their always together. Zavion has wanted Cian since they met but didn't think he could get Cian's attention. It's a fun thrill ride to save not only Zavion's life but also his twins. I recommend

Beneath the Surface by Kate Sherwood


Beneath the Surface
When Peter Carr’s company sends him to Southwestern Ontario to sweet-talk the town into agreeing to a gravel quarry proposal, he welcomes the challenge. Technically he’s a lawyer, but really he’s a problemsolver. He just never expected the problem to be Caleb Sinclair, the passionate but introverted artisan carpenter who lives next to the proposed quarry site.

“Know your enemy.” That’s Caleb’s philosophy. And trying to turn fertile farmland into a gravel pit earns Peter the title of “enemy.” Caleb loves that land, and if he has to make peace with his homophobic neighbors to make war on Peter, so be it. Except knowing his enemy doesn’t turn out anything like he expected. Peter’s not the fairy-tale monster—he just might be the first step to happy ever after.

                                                                      4.25 STARS

This is my first book by this author, I gotta say I really liked it and will definitely be reading more. The plotline was very interesting even though you could see the bad guy pretty early on it was still very fascinating. The romance/love story was even more interesting since Peter & Caleb are on opposite sides of this gravel pit debate, you could read the chemistry between the two very easily. I liked how they both tried so hard to keep the gravel pit out of their attraction to each other and how the town that pretty much shunned Caleb when he came out, comes to him for help when push comes to shove. And absolutely loved Caleb's best friend Matt, this was a very interesting story that kept me wanting to see what else would happen next. I recommend

                                                                    3.75 STARS

This was an interesting story,  I will admit it was a little creepy but since it was read around Halloween it kinda worked for me. Daren buys a farmhouse that ends up haunted by Toby, and thats just the start of the freaky shit LOL. Toby's character just broke my heart he went through something horrible and seems to relive it over again & again. Only thing that made me  somewhat squeamish Daren & Toby having sex since Toby's a ghost a little too creepy for me but it did come across as a sweet love story with the mystery of Toby's death being solved really sad too. But the ending was interesting. I recommend

Second Chances
"Make sure he is well taken care of" are words Lieutenant Ryan Devries will live to regret. He is shocked to see Kurt Ackerman's name among the hardened criminals he is assigned to bring in for questioning, especially since he knows the man intimately.

Tracking Kurt down and bringing him in is the easy part. Forgetting the look of betrayal on his former lover's face is hard as hell, especially when Ryan’s message for Kurt to be taken care of is used against him by a sadistic officer out to torture Kurt.

Kurt was running for his life. When the man that left him after one night of bliss turns him in, Kurt never expects to survive, let alone see Ryan again. When Ryan is ordered to return Kurt to his home planet, the furthest thing on his mind is hooking up again. But forgetting Ryan may be the hardest thing Kurt has ever tried to do, especially when Ryan won't take no for an answer.

Chasing down the men on their most wanted list, Ryan soon discovers that not only is winning back Kurt’s trust an almost impossible mission, but so is the task of stopping the Onyx from hurling past End of the Line and into the unknown

This is a spin-off of the Lady Blue Crew series by Stormy Glenn & Lynn Hagen which I totally loved, so I was really excited to see these two awesome authors together to write another series. And I was not surprised at how much I truly did like this one since this is the first book in this new series I can't wait for more at first I didn't really like Ryan but once he see's what he has caused I really liked the change in him and Kurt was just so funny and sweet I mean the poor guy has the worst luck of anyone I have every read about maybe that why I just loved him so much. And god the crew is effing nuts but I can't wait to read their stories, and it wasn't just a mate story since Ryan doesn't even know that their mates. It's really an exciting fast paced thrill ride that I'm sure will get even more thrilling with each new book, I Recommend

                                                               4.5 STARS

This was my first book in this series, and honestly I wish I had read those first just to understand the world at little better although the romance/love story could easily be read as a stand alone the action/drama part was a little harder to understand without reading the first two books. I will be  buying those and I do want to read more to this story it's a very fascinating world but I really liked the attention that was taken in getting to know both MC's and what was going through their minds and besides the sex scenes were off the freakin' charts....fans self...I mean holy shit in the elevator...Wow Ok inner perv's done now. Once I got a little more info about the action plot line the characters took center stage Brandon was so adorable trying to hide his hearing aids from everyone including the man who was the cause of the reason for wearing them Oliver and he just cracked me up I swear he was mainly a horn dog through out this book but he becomes so sweet and protective of Brandon once their working the same case. I really enjoyed this relationship and like I said once I am more comfortable with the world I'm sure I will read it again and enjoy it even more. I Recommend

                                                                   4.5 STARS

This is the third book in the Anything Goes series, the other two I had read a while back and really enjoyed so when I saw that Ms. Flynn was gonna write more for this series I was bouncing off walls. I had been waiting for Mick's story since the very first book, I wasn't disappointed either I mean I think it has to be hard to write a character that has been almost destroyed by betrayal and then have them not only learn to heal but to find love again. I liked that even though Mick was a Dom and a powerful Lust Demon he was also fragile in a way and insecure, he carries so much guilt but he also had his heart broken too. Beck has been in love with Mick for years and watched him go through guy after guy while secretly yearning for Mick, so when Mick's life falls apart Beck tries to hold him together. I really enjoyed reading this one and have already bought the next one in this series, I Recommend
