Something for the Pain...a story about an unexpected love that will take your breath away. Falling for your childhood best friend is something any human being should not take lightly. It could either ruin your relationship or it could turn into so much more than any of us helpless romantics could ever wish for.

Alex is a tattoo artist, a hot one that is. He may have had a very tragic childhood experience, but at least Tripp was always there to help him heal the pain he was feeling. He lost his mother from cancer and repeatedly abused him growing up. His brother was serving time in prison while he was mourning their mother. The only person who was there for him was his best girl. Not just any girl, she always comes above anyone else. He would drop everything just to be there for Tripp. He would take a bullet for her. He would leave his random hookup for the night for her. He loves her so much and wants more from her, but he’s scared of the aftermath.

As for Tripp, she’s a bartender, a sexy firecracker. She thinks that being monogamous is too suffocating. But little did she know that the only reason why she’s never committed herself to someone is something she can’t seem to fathom. They can both deny all they want but actions speaks louder than words. They both agree to sleep with each other to scratch the itch out of their systems. It was of course, suggested by none other than Lucas, Tripp’s boyfriend. Just because they call each other boyfriend and girlfriend, doesn’t mean they have to stay monogamous. That’s the kind of agreement Lucas and Tripp allowed to have. Sounds messy right? Well, you have not heard enough…there’s more to it than that. You’ll understand once you get to know both Alex and Tripp.
I highly recommend this to readers who loves the dirty talking, love making while someone is watching, and who loves A LOT of BUNNIES. So, that being said, please make sure you bring extra panties and something to wipe your drool over Alex. Another HOT and naughty characters that Victoria gave birth to and I loved it.

Shattered. To be broken into many pieces. So what happens when everything you loved and cherished is taken away from you in a blink of an eye? A fatal crashed that changed and altered the lives of six families. What happens when the lives of three innocent people are taken away abruptly from you? What happens when friendships are torn apart due to anger, resentment and what ifs? And what happens when the love of your life died right by your side? Can the pain and memories be erased? Can a shattered heart be ever pieced back together or are the shards of glass better left broken?

#AShatteredHeart1

There are five stages that makes up the framework of learning to live and let go of the ones we lost. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. Each stage of grief is not on some linear timeline that must be followed in the exact order since we all deal with death in different ways. And in Tiffany King's newest installment to the Fractured Lives Series, Ms. King once again shatters our hearts as she leaves a devastatingly beautiful tale of learning to love again in A Shattered Heart. In this heartbreakingly touching and beautiful, heartstrings will be pulled as readers are immersed in the story of Kat Darby as she learns to cope with the loss of her first love.

Two years ago, six lives was forever altered due to a tragic car accident. Three may have survived but the friendship was left torn and created a rift when Zach, Mac, and Kat drifted apart as they went on their separate ways. Each of them were left with physical and emotional scars as a daily reminder of the three friends they lost that day. For Kat Darby, losing the love of her life, Dan was just like death itself. It left her broken. Shattered beyond repair. His death and memories will forever haunt her because Kat Darby may have lived that night of the accident but she was slowly dying inside with her grief, denial, and anger. Anger the she lived. Anger that her friend Mac was able to move on. Anger that Zach was no longer physically the same. Anger at herself for letting go of Dan's hand. As anger and denial consumes Kat, will she ever find it in herself to live again?

"I wanted to be the reason you started living again."

When Kat returns back home after a year of running away, she comes face to face with Dan's younger brother, Brian. As much as she tries to avoid him, Brian worms his way into Kat's good graces. He allows her to see that there is much life to live and not to waste a single moment of it because Dan would hate that for her. As Brian and Kat begins to spend more time with each other, feelings begins to develop and that scares Kat because she feels it as a betrayal to Dan. Can Kat learn to let go of Dan and love again? Can a shattered moment and heart be put back together again?

#AShatteredHeart

When Kat returned back home, Brian wanted to be the person that Kat leaned on for support. He wanted to be her friend. And in a sense, he wanted to be so much more since he holds a special place in his heart for Kat. I absolutely loved Brian's character. He was sweet, understanding , patient, and the right person she needed in her life. Together, they were able to find healing and closure but most importantly Brian allowed Kat to feel again and erase all the sad memories.

"Is it wrong your face has already started to replace his? That you're the last person I think of before I go to sleep and the first thing I think about in the morning? Is it wrong I resent the memories for making me sad when ones about you have the power to make me so happy?"

The friendship and chemistry between Kat and Brian was so tangible and palpable that you couldn't help but root for Kat to realize that she can learn to love again. Soon the anger that Kat had bottled up was no longer an issue once she learned to accept that this crossroad in her life just took an alternate route. A route to start all over again. Heal. Rebuild friendships. And most importantly to love again.

I loved how Ms. King poured so much heart, emotions, and soul into A Shatterd Heart. This book was brimming with raw emotions and intensity that I felt every ounce of pain, heartbreak, anger, hope, loss, hurt, and love coursing through the book. A Shattered Heart is just not an ordinary love story but a story that inspires healing, hope, love and second chances. I love a book that can make you FEEL the raw and vulnerable aspect of loss, grief, regret, and emptiness. Ms. King did an amazing job with this book as she was able to juxtapose and weave elements of love, heartbreak, anger, second chances, and acceptance. Ms. King was able to showcase a book that reminds us all that nothing is truly shattered. A broken piece can be glued and pieced back together. A heart can heal. And the biggest glue to piece back the shattered pieces is LOVE. Love can truly heal and Ms. King reminded us all to not lose sight of hope. A hope that second chances and new beginnings exists. There is no hurt so great that love can't heal it. So if you are looking for a book that is so gripping, poignant, heartbreaking and yet profound then I highly recommend you to read A Shattered Heart by Tiffany King.

What a fun and sweet read!!! Slow Burn was just the perfect sexy and sweet read to get lost in!! If you are a fan of second chances and taking risks then this book is for you. In Slow Burn, Ms. Cathryn Fox introduces two high school "friends" get their chance at love and romance. I use the term friends loosely since technically they weren't friends since the hero, Coop was best friends with Julia's twin sister, Mari. Fast forward to ten years later, Coop gets his second chance to finally admit to Julia that she has always been the girl on his mind. Julia always assumed that Coop only liked and wanted Mari and had blinders on when it came to her but as it turns out she was wrong. When Julia arrives at Coop's ranch, she didn't expect the same feelings she had for Coop ten years ago would be just as strong. As Coop and Julia begins to spend time with each other, feelings begins to intensify and it is up to Coop to make Julia see that she is the only person he wants. Will Julia be able to let Coop into her life?

Slow Burn was the first book that I have read from this author and it surely won't be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this quick, light, fun, and sweet read!!! This book was well-written and had lovable characters. So if you are looking for a quick romance escape then I highly recommend Slow Burn by Cathryn Fox!!! There is nothing like a hot sexy cowboy and attorney to heat up those e-readers.

Hold Me Until Morning by Christina Phillips was an okay read. I mean the book had the elements to make this story interesting and entertaining with the subject matter of best friend's little sister romance but towards the last 50% of the book fell flat and became predictable for my taste. I enjoyed the first half but as I further got into the story, Cooper and Paris's relationship couldn't pull me into loving them. I just wished the author took time with the sexual tension so we could really be invested as Paris and Cooper and not them just jumping into a relationship so fast. Overall, I liked the story but wasn't my favorite as the first book of the series.

FIND ME was consuming just like the first book Free Me. It owned me from beginning to end. JC and Gwen’s love story was riveting and demanded attention. Their love story may have been a little flawed, but what relationship is perfect? JC and Gwen together was sexy, sweet and full of love for each other. They were selfless with each other, especially JC. Their relationship may have started of sex, but their love grew into something so much deeper and unconditional. I love this series so much I’m so sad to see it end.

FIND ME is the conclusion of Gwen and JC’s love story. At the end of the first book FREE ME, JC had to leave and Gwen was left alone and heartbroken. Even after a year had past, she was still hoping and grieving for the lost of JC. JC made her feel so much of herself she never knew existed. But being without JC, had made her lonely that she got involved with Hudson’s younger brother CHANDLER. She cared for him, gave him her body, but never her heart. When JC finally showed up and ask if he can have a chance, Gwen was so relieved but confused. She didn’t want to hurt CHANDLER, but JC was her heart. Is she ready to give JC her all, even after he had left her with a broken heart? Read and find out, Trust me, this book is worth it.

I love Gwen and JC love story, they were so sexy and hot for each other. When they were together, they burned for each other and reader will feel the hotness and the love they had for each other. Gwen and JC were on fire in bed and out of it. I can’t say enough to show how much I love this couple. The ending of their love story is what they deserved. I’m so glad I read this 2 part series, as it is now added to my favorite list. And J.C. wow. The way he took control of Gwen, might leave you wet and hungry for more of this couple. Another great book and a lovely ending.

Ahhh....the Capital Confession Series comes to an end and it's such a bittersweet feeling to say goodbye to this series after I've been so wrapped up with the scandals, gossips, politics, family drama, romance, and unexpected surprises. In the third and final book, Falling for Danger, Chanel Cleeton reunites her readers with one final thrilling, surprising, and romantic suspense that will have readers on the edge of their seats.

#FallingForDanger1

In Playing with Trouble, we all learned what happened to Kate Reynolds and why she distanced herself from her parents. The Reynolds family is no stranger to having their family name blasted through the gossip blog, Capital Confession and so Kate uses that to her advantage when she decides that she is willing to discover what happened to her fiancee, Matt. For four years, Kate mourned for his death in Afghanistan when his team were killed in action. She has never been able to truly moved on and when papers were sent to Kate showcasing that her father and Matt's father were possibly involved in the military attack, Kate will stop at nothing to bring down her father and the corrupt men who destroyed her life.

#FallingForDanger

As Kate delves deeper into cover-ups, her life is put at risk when danger begins to threaten her safety and well-being. When Kate is targeted, she never imagined who would come to her rescue. Matt. For four years, Matt kept the secret that he was alive and didn't die in the ambush. Together Matt and Kate must work together to discover if their parents were involved in the murder of young military men. In order for Kate to find the evidence that she needs, she must keep her enemies closer and that means she has to have a little reunion with her parents. While working together, Matt tries to keep Kate away because he doesn't want to taint her life with his PTSD. Matt has always been the one in her heart and so she won't allow Matt to push her away and she will do anything to show him that she will be there for him. Will Kate's love slowly heal the broken pieces of Matt? And what danger awaits for Kate as she discovers the truth?

Chanel Cleeton ended this series with a BANG!!!! Falling for Danger was filled with so many unexpected surprises, twist of events, suspense and danger. If I thought the first two books of the series was scandalous, Falling for Danger took it to another level as we really see how corrupt on some politicians are in Washington DC. But as always, Ms. Cleeton does a perfectly job in orchestrating and interweaving suspense and romance in such an addicting way!!! So if you are ready to fall and get addicted to a series where scandal, gossip, fourberie, and tangible romance are intricately weaved to produce a beautiful provocative and deliciously scandalicious series then look no further than the Capital Confession Series.

Crazy About Cameron was a breath of fresh air. Love as sweet as what Cameron and Meggie have for each other is so rare. It's a once in a lifetime experience and I wouldn't have it any other way. To readers who are fans of sweet romance between childhood friends, this is the book for you. It's a sweet, heartwarming love story that I could not put down. Cameron and Meggie met when they were kids and became friends. Cameron always had his eyes for Meggie from afar. He secretly adored her, but never pursued her and the feelings was actually mutual, which they both were not aware of the fact. And as the years passed, it becomes fathomless to the point were hiding one's feelings becomes unrestrainable. Will they both stay in denial or will they finally accept what they have been holding back from...LOVE? I enjoyed getting to know both characters and fell in love with them. It's the type of anecdote that will leave you breathless and intoxicated. Get to know the swoon worthy Cameron and the selfless Margaret. I highly recommend the unforgettable...Crazy About Cameron

This was by far HONESTLY one of the most tragic romance, heart-wrenching and sweetest books I have ever read! Penelope ward knows just how to pull her readers and she tends to leave breathless and wanting more. The love triangle was heartbreaking, not something I would normally read, but I had to dive in since she's one of my favorite authors. So, I put my big girl undies on and went for it, and devoured Sevin.

Sins of Sevin photo SinsOfSevin_zpsa1v9fuez.jpg

Sevin is a young man who's lost both of his parents at a young age. Broken and misunderstood, which didn't really bother him at all. The one thing he thought he was never capable of feeling, was the only thing that could help him move on...is LOVE. Being vulnerable is not in his vocabulary, or so he thought. He's willing to put down the walls, he put up ever since he lost his mother. What he wants badly, is off limits. As for Evangeline, she's not really one for getting married and having kids. Her entire perspective changes the first time she lays eyes on Sevin. She falls in love with a man that she can't have. One Scandalous—Lustful—Kiss is sure to allure fans of forbidden romance. Dirty and sexy, sounds about right when it comes to describing Sevin. I highly recommend you read this book and you won't be disappointed.

☆☆☆☆ 4.5 Stars ☆☆☆☆

Sins of Sevin is not your typical love story. It is full of love, emotional pain, suffering and heartbreak, but at the same time the love that Sevin and Evangeline had for each other was beautiful. Seven may have started a little rough, but Evangeline change him into man with so much love to give. This story was not what I expected at all and Sevin was such a loving man. That no matter what was going on in the story, I just wanted to reach out and give Sevin a hug. He loved Evangeline so much that he would have done everything and anything for her, no matter the consequences. When circumstances changed the future of their lives together, I felt like I was part of the story…I felt their pain, their heartbreak. It was so much, I wish I could’ve taken both of them away and give them their happily ever after.

photo SinsOfSevin-Teaser.jpg

This story is also about forgiveness, how much a person can take and growing up and finding themselves. Sevin and Evangeline go through so much, but made them such beautiful people once they find each other again. In the end, I felt like there’s was too much suffering that the ending wasn’t enough. I wanted more, I wanted so much more for Sevin and Evangeline. Their love story consumed me and they deserved so much more.
