Interception (Distraction, #3)

Interception by Angela McPherson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Reviewed by: Neilliza

Interception is a beautiful ending for such a deserving couple. Elle and Tristan have been through so much together and this is an ending that they truly deserved. These two stayed as sweet as ever, never leaving each other behind. While the other two books are about them falling in love and growing up, this final book is about them knowing what they want. All grown up, wanting a family and a career. Together and not apart is their way of life. As they go through more trials in their lives, they stayed strong and connected with each other. Of course through all these good and bad times, Elle and Tristan couldn’t get enough of each other. At every chance they got, their hands were on each other. They were hot and sexy together. I love and enjoyed these two throughout the whole series and it is bittersweet having to say goodbye to these two, they were truly the best. But I am glad that they go their beautiful ending.

Psst.. Do you hear it? Do you hear the whispers? The roars? The sounds of my heart beating wildly as I yell how amazing, poignant, and breathtakingly beautiful this book is? If you can hear the rumblings and whisperings of why K. Webster needs to be on your book radar then you know what book I am talking about. That’s right Whispers and the Roars is the book that has truly elevated and made her an author who has not only delivered an epic love story but a story that is unforgettable as every character and raw emotion will be coursing through your veins.

“The darkness should frighten me. I should worry I’ll find more monsters… monsters scarier than him. But I’m not afraid. It’s safe here. When I’m inside of my head… He. Can’t. Ever. Touch. Me.”

It’s no secret that I am huge fan of K. Webster. Okay, I am a stalker and she knows it and I secretly think she loves it. Before I go off tangent, I want to let readers know that Whispers and the Roars is by far one of the best books that she has written. This book had depth, vulnerability, a bit of darkness thrown into the mix and yet had that emotionally pull that will have you yearning for more.

#WhispersAndTHeRoars

Unconditional love is biggest message that K. Webster whispers and roars in the story of Kady and Yeo. I can go on and on about how amazing Yeo is but it still wouldn’t give this character any justice because Yeo is a hero in every sense of the word. He is perfection. He is light. He is truth. He is understanding. He is a protector. He is a friend. He is a lover. And most importantly, he is the voice of reasoning and the missing piece in Kady.

photo whispers_zps3joef6po.png

“I love her. Plain and simple. You can’t snuff out the blazing flames of love. Soulmates don’t simply drift apart. Twelve years has done nothing to change the way I feel about her. The time with us separated is over. No more hiding. No more avoidance. No more denying our complicated relationship. I’m going to make this right again.”

I know that I am being super vague about what this book entails but trust me you need to go read this book blind. Trust in K. Webster as she guides you into the darkness, the madness, and into the light. Yes, this is an unconventional love story but it is a story that will make you wish you had a Yeo of your own as he scrapbooks, whispers, roars, and tells a story of LOVE.

The writing was superb. Each word, characters and raw emotions were meticulously and flawlessly incorporated to give this book a deeper meaning of unconditional love. Yes, love can hurt and be imperfect but they way K. Webster showed us how far a man will go for love is the biggest roar and testament of them all. Love doesn’t need to be loud. It can be a tiny whisper that can roar and be felt. And boy oh boy did I feel the rumblings of K.Webster’s heart as she pours her soul and gave life to these characters.

Whispers and the Roars is a literary canvas that paints a heartrending, poignant, dark, and beautiful tale on love and sacrifices. From the opening pages to the very last page, you will hear, feel, live, and breathe for these characters. So are you ready to hear the sounds of love? Because I will just say K. Webster will play a beat that will be echoing for a long time. Hear K. Webster roar as she stamps her way into your literary heart.

☆☆☆☆ 4.5 STARS ☆☆☆☆

I enjoyed the story of friends and their childhood memories. Ainsley and Adrian were friends since they have been 8 yrs old. Adrian was a new boy in the neighborhood that Ainsley and her cousin Lori couldn’t wait to be friends with. Since the day they were invited for a swim, they were inseparable. Their adorable times together were too sweet and made me laugh at times. Through the years we see how the three friends grew up together and how close they stayed together. Not much happened to Ainsley and Adrian until they were older, but they were sweet as they could be. But tragic events happened that pulled them apart. Through their hurt and their pain, I felt it with the beautiful words that Author Amie Knight wrote. Such loss, pain and guilt drove this story, then the hope of forgiveness kept me reading. I loved Adrian as a boy and a man he grew into. He was always the caring and loving boy that deserved so much. Ainsley and Adrian went through so much together and apart. The story was a little slow at times, but it was needed to tell the story..their story..

Ainsley and Adrian made me fall in love with their story, through the heartaches, the laughs and forgiveness. This was a real beauty of a story of friendship and love surviving it all. These books may not be full of sex, but their times together was purely sexy. The love that they had for each other was nothing but real. I couldn’t help but feel so much love after reading this book. What a beautiful ending for such deserving and beautiful people. I cannot wait to read more of Amie Knight’s stories. This really was a great debut.

A bite sized novella that you will want to savor, inhale and taste. Lauren Blakely is my go to author when it comes to love stories that has the perfect blend of heat and heart. And in her newest novella, The Only One, Lauren has me grinning big as she puts in her fun, heartfelt, and sexy twist on a second chance fated romance.

“All I know is I want him to take me again, to have me, to make love to me. I want him to strip me naked, kiss me all over, down my thighs to my knees, nipping my ankles, then back up again, settling between my legs.”

Ten years ago, Penny was in love. She had a whirlwind romance with a stranger she met while vacationing in Spain. For three days, Gabriel consumed Penny’s life. He made her feel things that she never thought was possible. They both made a promise to meet up in New York City. The date, time and location were set. As Penny stood there waiting for Gabriel to arrive, she soon realized what a broken heart felt like.

#TheOnlyOne_laurenBlakely

Fast forward to the present, Penny is a non-profit worker for an animal shelter. She is organizing a fundraiser event and is in need of a restaurant to help cater the event. So when Penny stumbles into the restaurant to meet with the chef, it is there she sees Gabriel again but this time he doesn’t seem to remember her.

“I’m in love. And it isn’t just any kind. It’s the big kind. The crazy kind. The type of love that latches on to you and won’t let go. I bring my mouth to his ear, ready to tell him, ready to share my whole heart, but then he pushes so deep into me that I see stars. I see the light of distant planets. I see entire universes. It’s that good. It’s that intense. I unravel in the most mind-bending, breathtaking, toe-curling kind of climax. It unfurls. It spreads, and the aftershocks roll through me as he chases me there, coming and not stopping. Just like me, just like him, just like us.”

As Penny stood there in front of him, Gabriel thinks that she is his Penny that he met ten years ago but isn’t quite sure if she is the same girl. As fate would have it, memories of what they shared begins to flood back. Will the stars aligned for these two? And will Gabriel and Penny get their second chance at love this time around?

#TheOnlyOne1_laurenBlakely

A sweet, delectable and beautiful love story that reminds me of a Lifetime and Hallmark movie with the addition that it is more steamy and hot. We cannot forget that Lauren Blakely stamped her staple romance of heat and heart in this novella. So if you are looking for a quick and sexy read that will have your hearts fluttering and smiling big then The Only One is the book for you.

A deep addictive visceral emotional book that leaves you yearning and wanting for more. Boundaries will be pushed, love will be on the line, hearts will be broken, lives will be lost, and raw emotions will be coursing through your veins. That’s right my fellow romance fans, M. Robinson has found her niche in the book community as an author who will continue to give you the unexpected and in her newest release, Road To Nowhere, she takes readers down the road where chaos, passion, grit, and forbidden love collides.

photo Untitled_zpstvxwmkcg.png

“Everything I had done, I had done for my family, for the MC, for her… I fought for my fucking brothers. I fought for my goddamn country. I fought for my girl. Never realizing… I might fucking die for them too. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and all that fucking shit. I once read that every warrior hoped a good death would find him. I always went looking for mine, but not even the Reaper wanted me.”

#Creed

I know there are some readers who will be wary when they are introduced to Creed and Mia. The age gap might scare readers but trust me when I tell you this book is more than physical attraction but knowing that your soul, mind and heart are linked to one person only. And for Creed Jameson, his heart and whole being belonged to the young girl that showed him what real love and sacrifice entails.

photo Untitled_zpstvxwmkcg.png

“I should have stopped her. I should have told her no. I should have done something, anything… Except allow her to close the distance between us.”

Creed Jameson was born into a life where chaos, death, and more chaos are an integral part of his being. Nothing is handed to Creed as everything has to be earned. Honor, friendship, brotherhood, respect and love had to be earned but one thing that came easily was winning the heart of Mia Ryder since her heart and being belonged to him from the get go.

photo Untitled_zpstvxwmkcg.png

“Countless women had touched me the way she was right in that moment, more times than I cared to fucking count. This was different. This was so meaningful, so emotional, so goddamn loving. This was Mia. My Pippin.”

When a nine year old Mia meets Creed, who happens to be 18 years old for the first time, a spark was formed. Lines of lust, friendship and love begins to be drawn out. Two souls spoke to each other on a deeper level. So fast forward to a couple years later, when a mature and old soul Mia finds herself at a crossroad in her life, wanting to be with a man that is dangerous and yet gives her the kind of love and affection that no one can give.

photo Untitled_zpstvxwmkcg.png

“So much love. So much everything. He. Wanted. Me. “No more bullshit between us. You want to be kissed, touched, fucked,” he groaned against my lips. “Then I fuck you. I’m claimin’ you, Pippin. You’re fuckin’ mine.” And I was. I always had been.”

Although these two star crossed lovers belonged to one another, they both must face a rough and angsty journey. The road to happily ever after is never simple as family, friends, secrets, and the past are standing in their way. Can a man who has built his life on the open road find a home in a girl that has complicated written all over her?

photo Untitled_zpstvxwmkcg.png

“I know who you are, Mia Ryder. From the second I saw you, and I’ve loved ya every day since for it.”

While M. Robinson did her staple anti-hero and forbidden love aspect, she pushed readers to a whole new arena where emotions runs deep. These raw emotions are the very essence as to why Creed and Mia demanded your attention. Their love was never meant to be easy. It was meant to be a journey that takes you somewhere. And so are you ready to embark on that Road To Nowhere?

A calculating sinful and devious story that erotically blends lust, romance, desire, and revenge into one palpable addictive read. Skye Warren has masterfully crafted a story that begs readers to enter into a world where deception, knowledge, power, and control is a must. So are you ready to make your move and outsmart The Pawn?

photo Untitled_zps5yuj3zcg.png

“As Gabriel Miller pointed out, I have one thing left of value. My body. My virginity. Maybe the man outside wants that.”

It’s no secret that I am a fan of Skye Warren and when she decided to write a story that dealt with a heroine auctioning off her virginity, you gotta know that I will be all over this book. And let me just say Skye had me hooked. I was a pawn in her masterfully orchestrated game of love, survival and revenge.

#ThePawn

Avery James is the princess who fell from the graces of the elite and privileged. She once lived an enchanted fairytale life where she was spoiled by her father and had it all but that all came crumbling down when everything of value was gone. Penniless and no money to help pay for her father’s medical expenses, Avery is forced to auction off the only thing that has value. Her virginity.

photo Untitled_zps5yuj3zcg.png

“You don’t taste sweet,” he says, pausing. “You taste like I’m fucking dying and you’re the only water around. You taste like goddamn air.”

So when Gabriel Miller bought Avery James, she became not only his possession for one month but he owned her in every sense of the word. His command. His touch. His wants. His needs. His game. And Avery James was just the pawn in this calculated move of revenge and power.

#ThePawn0

Gabriel Miller knew that Avery James is an innocent virgin. She was his for the taking. And once he set his eyes on something, he claims it. As much as he is drawn to her, she was a temptation that he must resist.

Avery’s virginity is for the taking. It is only a matter of when Gabriel will claim it. But what Avery never expected was to be attracted to him. She wants and needs him in such a primal manner. But what happens when Gabriel finally claims her virginity, will Avery find her lose her upper hand in this game of control? In this game of knowing what move to make first, will the pawn outwit the king?

photo Untitled_zps5yuj3zcg.png

“Maybe I wouldn’t feel so dirty if he’d just taken my virginity the first night. Regular sex, right away. Even coming on me, as sharp and intimate as it is, I could have withstood. It’s the orgasms he forces from my body that feel like a violation.”

The Pawn is hands down one of my favorite books that Skye Warren has written so far. Each action, characters, and prose were meticulously and flawlessly delivered to heighten the erotic chemistry between Avery and Gabriel. I love that Skye Warren didn’t hold anything back when it came to this calculating game of power, control, and lust. She had readers on the edge as she drops a few twist and turns along the way. And let me just say that ending, has me wanting the next book stat. So if you are looking for a book that was masterfully and erotically orchestrated then this dark romance is the book for you.
