She needed to stay away from me. I wanted her to stay away from me. I should've made her leave, but it didn’t matter because I couldn’t stay away from her any longer. And in the end…I didn’t want to.”

A seductive tantalizing read that will for sure leave readers begging, wanting, craving, crying, and dying for more of El Diablo!! The devil has truly left its mark as M. Robinson has cemented her place as an author that deserves your full undivided attention. Robinson delivers a sinful and calculating forbidden romance that will haunt and consume readers as hearts will ache, beg, be broken and slowly mended in M.Robinson’s angsty signature.

The Devil. I am not talking about the devil that lives in Hell but I’m talking about the devil that grins and who can seduce you with his bewitching tongue and destroy you with the snap of his fingers. That’s right. I am talking about Alejandro Martinez, aka El Diablo.

photo 480707c743f9f5869f6f3125bfce8a_zpsrl62rxqo.gif

Don't knock on the devil's door, sweetheart, and expect him not to answer. ”

If you have read M. Robinson’s previous book, Crave Me, you have already been introduced to the fucking devil himself but if you haven’t read that book, do not worry as El Diablo can be read as a standalone but I do not advise it since you will be missing out on details from the previous book but not that much.

##ElDiablo1

Alejandro Martinez is as cunning and ruthless as they come. He is a sinner. A killer. A liar. An opportunist. To state he is a Machiavellian is an understatement, because this devil is unscrupulous and crafty. He is the snake in the grass waiting to make his deadly bite. Alejandro Martinez is insidious. Duplicitous. Deadly. Canny. He is El Diablo.

photo 480707c743f9f5869f6f3125bfce8a_zpsrl62rxqo.gif

Saying sorry was a sign of weakness, and I couldn’t bring myself to say the two words. To show her that I had a weak side, buried under all the bullshit. I really wanted to beg for her forgiveness, over and over again for what I’d done.”

When it comes to Alejandro everything is a game. He is the mastermind that is pulling all the strings. He is the King and he rules with an iron hand. But this brutal and deadly sinner didn’t begin this way until he knew first hand that power is key. Power is the only way to control and have your enemies fear you. Power is the only way to protect your heart that is until she entered the picture……

Lexi knows pain, loss, death, sacrifices, and monsters. Her life was never the picture perfect white picket fence that every girl dreams about. Instead, her life was about survival. Surviving to make ends meet and surviving to make her dreams of becoming a ballerina a reality. Hope was her grace and miracles don’t happen to girls like Lexi that is until she comes face to face with the devil himself.

photo 480707c743f9f5869f6f3125bfce8a_zpsrl62rxqo.gif

I loved her with every breath in my body, every piece of my fucked up heart, every last part of me belonged to her.”

Lexi is the forbidden fruit that Alejandro wanted to taste. She was the epitome of salvation, hope and possibly love. As much as he tried to resist and stay away from her, he couldn’t. She was a siren luring him with her innocence, beauty, and fierce personality. She is the only person who can look the devil in the eyes and not back down. And that alone was enough justification for Alejandro to corrupt Lexi sexually, physically, spiritually, and mentally. She was his instrument to play. And boy oh boy, did he play with her.

#ElDiablo2

photo 480707c743f9f5869f6f3125bfce8a_zpsrl62rxqo.gif

I had killed. I had avenged. I had loved. I had destroyed lives and now it was my time to pay for being the Grim fucking Reaaper, taking lives that didn't belong to me. I just never thought my life would end like this. ”

As Lexi and Alejandro dances around their feelings for one another, an unraveling of secrets begins to take place. Every lies and sins are exposed. The truth was begging to be told. And how far will the Devil go to protect his secrets? And the answer is simple, he will go to hell and back.

photo 480707c743f9f5869f6f3125bfce8a_zpsrl62rxqo.gif

Every Devil needs an Angel. And she was mine.”

El Diablo is by far the best book that M. Robinson has written to date. She took her writing to another level as she seductively weaves every facets of raw emotions to create a symphony of drama, angst, fourberie, betrayal, love, sacrifice, and unyielding passion. Robinson boldly paints a literary masterpiece where readers are taken down the proverbial rabbit hole where there is only way out and that is through the eyes of Alejandro Martinez. Every action has consequence. Every lie has a truth. And every pain has a reason. And so I urge, no beg you to read this cunning romance that will have you begging for more. And just remember The Devil was once an angel so discover why Alejandro Martinez is the devil in the suit that grins.

Having You Is Never Enough is a continuation of the group of friends love lives. This one focuses on Trinity and Slade hiding their love from their friends, while also giving us bits and pieces of the other friends. I really did enjoy reading about Trinity and Slade, they are becoming sweeter and sweeter as the time passes. Their story also had me laughing and giggling, on how their friends treated Slade, while hiding who he is really seeing. You guys gotta read to know what I’m talking about, too funny. Out of the friends in this series, they are right now my favorite couple. No boring moments when it comes to those two. I fall more and more in love with Slade the more books I read, he may have been a manwhore but Trinity changed him. He became a one woman man, sweet and very loving. He may still be working on being the man Trinity deserves, but he already got my vote. He will do anything for Trinity, even take a beat down from her brother Conrad. Love this.

Wait is emotional and beautiful. Edie and Austin’s story started out with a bang. Their story almost had me in tears in just a few pages, which hooked me right away. Best friends that were everything to each other, had to part for reason that should have kept them together. They were each others rock and the cutest couple ever.

Edie Evans and Austin Stone had a past, a past they would never forget. They knew they belonged together, but they didn’t feel like they deserved each other. As broken as they were, they were only whole when they were together. So when their time together ended, they both went searching for themselves and ended up running into each other along the way. Is it fate? You gotta read to find out.

“Do you believe in Fate Edie” -Austin

Reading Author A.L. Jackson’s books is like reading a long poem. Each word precise and each pages have so much meaning. This story is a roller coaster ride of emotions, be ready for it. Edie and Austin’s story will make you believe in fate, because miles or years couldn’t keep them apart. Loved it.

Oh, Duke Crawford!!!!! Tessa Bailey, you have truly outdone yourself with this sweet, sexy and scorching hot installment of the Made In Jersey Series. Worked Up was a gem of a read. Why? It’s simple. There were no billionaires, actor, athlete, or cocky alpha hero. But there was Duke Crawford, a factory mechanic. Yes, a factory mechanic, a blue collar worker is your leading hero. So thank you, Tessa Bailey for writing a story that is about ordinary and real working class people, who doesn’t need to be dined at five star restaurant but instead a simple egg sandwich can be the food to the heart.

#WorkedUp

Worked Up is a story of heart, grit, raw emotions, and love. This is a story of two strangers. A girl from Manhattan, New York and a small-town boy from Hook, New Jersey. This is a story where two people who came from two different walks of life but had one thing in common. LOVE. Duke Crawford didn’t need much to impress Samantha because he found a way to win her heart with his Goliath stature and his amazing egg sandwiches. But in all honesty, Duke is the true hero of this story. His kindness, honesty, vulnerability, and unyielding love for Samantha was beautiful. It was real and had me worked up begging and craving for more of Duke Crawford.

Tessa Bailey worked her brazen junkie magic on her readers as she wrote a story that was real, honest, and simple. I love getting lost in a story where the two main characters chemistry are felt throughout the pages. Bailey paints a story where taking chances, hard work, and trust is the fundamental backbone in this love story. And for this Goliath man called Duke Crawford, he was able to win his woman not from brawn but with unyielding raw love. So if you are ready to meet Duke and the people of Hook, New Jersey then I would recommend you to go read and fall in love with a real love story where trust, hard work, and maybe an egg sandwich can be the key to a happily ever after.

You know you are a bonafide Brazen book junkie when you practically don’t have to read the blurb because you automatically will read any of the books they published. And how could I not when their books have that push and pull, steamy romantic story lines. In the case for Mari Carr, she seduces her readers with a sexy friends to lovers romance trope in Seducing the Boss.

“Sara Connelly was hands down the toughest chick he knew. She was a no-nonsense ballbuster with a heart the size of Texas . And for his entire life, she’d been his conscience, the disapproving little voice in the back of his head that kept him somewhat honest. ”

Sarah Connelly has a great career as an ER Nurse. She loves her job but her love life is non-existant. So when Sara decides to do online dating, she is eager to meet the guy she has been chatting for awhile. She gets all glammed up and is eagerly awaiting for her date at Score, a local bar by the hospital that she works at. But when it comes apparent that she has been stood up, Sara is surprised to see her childhood friend and boss, Kellan James propositioning her for one weekend of just sex. No strings attached and they can go back to being friends and co-workers on Monday.

#SeducingTheBoss

Since it has been two years since Sara had engaged in a sexual relationship, she decided to let loose and just have some fun. There should be no harm with having some kinky and off the charts sex with your childhood friend...right? Well as it turns, Kellan and Sara did not just have sex. They had off the charts scorching hot unforgettable sex. It was pleasure that they both didn’t expect. And so come Monday, it was hard for these two to deny their sexual attraction to one another. Kellan wanted another week of no strings attached but Sara couldn’t do it. She informed Kellan that she had her weekend of fun but she can’t be someone’s booty call. She needed a real monogamous relationship. Will Kellan be able to put his playboy manwhore ways behind him and commit?

“For the first time in our lives, we want the same thing. You want a one-night stand, and I want to have it with you. You want to explore your wild side, and I have the experience to guide you through those desires—safely. You don’t want a lifetime with me, and I have no intention of making a long-term commitment. Everything lines up. It’s fate.”

Seducing The Boss was a fast paced lighthearted romance that was equally steamy and sweet. This is the first book that I have read from Mari Carr and it definitely won’t be my last. I love the flow of the story. There was never a dull moment as Mari did an amazing job explaining as to why Kellan was hesitant in commitments. So if you are looking for a story that was full of heart, heat, and passion then this book might be for you.

A sexy symphony of danger, chicanery, loss, raw emotions, and a mafia romance like no other!!!! Katee Robert has once again hypnotized readers as she beautifully and masterfully delivered a story that is a modern version of The Godfather and Goodfellas. Of course, this book stands out on it’s own as Katee Robert didn’t forget to put her own signature mafia twist.

In this third installment to The O’Malleys Series , Katee Robert focuses on Cillian O’Malley. Cillian was the brother that intrigued me from the start and I couldn’t wait to read his story in An Indecent Proposal. Cillian took his brother’s death the hardest and soon he found comfort in alcohol, violence, and women. When his life began to spiral out of control, Cillian took it upon himself to reinvent and change his former ways.

Violence. Duplicity. Greed. Death. Olivia Rashidi has become very familiar with those things as she has lived majority of her life surrounded by this lifestyle. As the daughter of a Russian mob, Olivia decides to leave that part of her life behind so her daughter can live a normal life. And so when she meet Cillian O’Malley, Olivia has every right to be nervous and wary of him. She is very familiar with the surname O’Malley and their association to the Irish Mafia.

As much as Olivia should know to stay away, she is drawn to Cillian in such a visceral manner that didn’t need much explanation. The raw vulnerable sides that both Olivia and Cillian had were tastefully exposed and stripped in such a captivating way that readers like myself could feel that unspoken bond that they shared. And in true mafia romance, danger begins to threaten the safety and bubble of Olivia and Cillian as a war of power struggle in Boston begins to emerge when Olivia’s half brother enters the picture. As the imminent danger begins to loom, how far will Cillian go to protect Olivia and her daughter?

An Indecent Proposal was a sexy, riveting, and emotionally gripping mafia romance that was beautifully well-written. Katee Robert added depth, humanity, grit, and violence in such a profound way highlighting the inner turmoil and battle that Cillian and Olivia has to endure. Within the backdrops of power struggle, violence, and the mafia, Katee Robert wrote an amazing love story that was unmistakably tangible and palpable right from the opening pages. This third installment is hands down my favorite of the series and so if you are looking for an emotive, action-packed, and sexy romance then I highly recommend you read this book and series NOW!!!

Chantal Fernando revs up her readers to another sexy, dangerous and highly intoxicating MC romance in her latest installment to the Wind Dragon Series. If you haven’t been following this series, shame on you because you are truly missing out on reading one gritty and fantastic MC series.

photo 56a11f44f63529a6110f56cd7f62b0_zpskx1oozko.gif

“I glance down at it and see a picture of a stunning Asian girl with long black hair, pale skin, and brown eyes. She is a petite little thing, with perfectly shaped lips that catch my attention.”

Wolf’s Mate can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend you to read the first four books of the series because trust me when I tell you that you will want to meet the men of Wind Dragons MC. Vinnie was once a prospect for Wind Dragon Motorcycle Club and now he is a full-pledged member. The Wind Dragon has and will always be Vinnie’s family. He lives and breathes for the club and his brothers. So when Talon, President of Wild Men ask Vinnie for a favor, Vinnie is forced to baby-sit Talon’s baby cousin for seven days. The job should be a simple seven day babysitting job but Vinnie never expected to find himself wanting to spend more than seven days with Shayla.

#Wolf'sMate1

Shayla is in need of protection while her father is locked away in a federal prison for embezzlement. When Shayla’s father makes a plea bargain with the federals in exchange for information on the fixed accounting of the mafia, Shayla becomes the number one target. The mafia assumes that Shayla has the information on regards on the ledger that will tie the mafia to criminal money activities and so Talon has to ask Vinnie and Sin, the president of Wind Dragons MC for a favor. So when Vinnie shows up, Shayla can’t help but be attracted to her new bodyguard.

“Shay just came into my life. I don’t know where it will lead , if anywhere, but I know that my gut is telling me to protect her, that she’s mine. And I always go with my gut instinct. She’s worth taking a chance on.”

Vinnie is well aware that he should not mix business with pleasure since she is Talon’s cousin but Vinnie couldn’t help himself. Shayla was everything that he didn’t expect. She was sexy as hell but totally down to earth. He loved that Shayla can stand on her own and could handle his brooding personality. As Shayla and Vinnie danced around their sexual attraction to one another, it was only a matter time till they crossed that invisible line. Once the lines were crossed, it was inevitable for Vinnie to not fall for Shayla.

#Wolf'sMate

Their chemistry and connection was tangible, palpable and intense. It was raw primal love. And for the first time in his life, Vinnie found himself wanting Shayla and only her. She became his home. His heart. His everything. So what happens when the imminent danger that threatens Shayla’s comes full throttle? Will Vinnie be able to protect his mate? Or will he find himself wishing he never crossed that line with Shayla?

photo 56a11f44f63529a6110f56cd7f62b0_zpskx1oozko.gif

“She pushes her body into mine, rubbing herself against my throbbing cock. The world closes in on us as I finally get a proper taste of what I want, a forbidden taste, which makes it all that sexier.”

Wolf’s Mate is sexy symphony of chicanery, passion, suspense, and raw primal love. Chantal Fernando takes a bite into reader’s heart as she perfectly weaves steam, grit, danger, and an unlikely love story between two strangers. With Fernando’s signature of mixing erotic undertones and biker romance, she creates a story that holds you hostage. Readers will be immersed in the dangerous lives of these bikers and the strong brotherhood that they live by. And most importantly, readers will understand the gravity and depth of a biker’s love for his woman. What I especially love about Wolf’s Mate is that Fernando delivers a story that has an Asian heroine, which is very rare in books. You would think in this day and age, there will be more books with characters that are of different cultural backgrounds but sadly that is not the case. So I want to take this opportunity to applaud Fernando for taking a chance with her characters. So with that being said, if you are looking for a romance that is electric, raw, primal, and consuming then I highly recommend you to take a bite into this MC Romance. Trust me when I tell you Chantal Fernando will have you howling for more Vinnie and the men of Wind Dragons.

When Stars Collide is an emotional and funny story of friends becoming lovers. Thea and Xander have known each since they were young, they met through Thea's brother Cade, who is Xander's best friend. They were both instantly drawn to each other when they met. As the years passed, they've become close friends as well. Xander had always looked out for Thea; he has always been very protective of her just like how Cade is with her. His feelings for her grows stronger as the years passed, but never followed through since Cade warns him every day to stay away from Thea. Until one night, both at their drunken state, everything changes for them.

Waking up in Vegas and doing something that may or may not ruin their relationship. Thea has been having doubts about the decisions they both made in Vegas, but the love and affection they both have for each other can no longer be ignored. No matter what the consequences may be, Xander will stand his ground and convince Thea that they are good together, even if it breaks her brother's heart.

This story is told from Thea and Xander's POVs, which is what I love, by the way. Hot, romantic, sexy and very passionate. I have been a fan of Micalea's writing for quite some time and I can't wait to be wooed on her next book. This is a MUST READ and I highly recommend it. Now, I'm curious about Jace and Nova's story.

When Stars Collide is a best friend turn lovers story. Xander and Thea’s have known each other since they were young, they do a lot together without making things complicated. They binge watch shows together, from Charmed to Supernatural. They fall asleep in each others arms and it’s never been a big deal…Until that one night in Vegas. They ended up married and ended up with the hottest sex of their lives. Thea stayed scared of the whole thing, while Xanders stayed strong and sure of the whole ordeal. I enjoyed their time together and each and everything that Xander did for Thea. He was super sweet and did everything he could to keep Thea in his life as his wife. Super sweet story of best friends, lots of memorable moments, with a little sex in the mix. A light hearted, fast paced forbidden love story.
