Finding Him (Covet #2) by Rachel Van Dyken

My Rating: 5 Stars

Series: Yes, Covet #2

Sex Scenes: Yes.

Subject: Second love is the true love.

Synopsis:

A shattered family, broken hearts, and healing love. 

Finding Him, an all-new standalone in the Covet duet by New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken is LIVE!

Coming out of a coma was one hell of a wake-up call. While I was in the dark, my estranged twin brother, Bridge, had replaced me in the company I owned and swept up my fiancée in the takeover. With my ruthless reputation, can I blame them for falling in love? I have to look long and hard at where I’ve been and where I’m headed. Alone time? The universe has other plans.

Our family’s secluded Vermont cabin comes with a gorgeous—if at first unwelcoming—surprise. She’s renter Keaton Westbrook, a social media superstar struggling with her own private grief. As a winter storm bears down, we’ve found something to keep us warm—an intimacy neither of us expected and both of us need.

After we say goodbye, what happens then? Keaton and I are longing to reconcile with our painful pasts. I can’t bear to do it without her. Is it too much to ask of fate to give us a second chance at life and love?

I want to say I hated the Book and that Julian was a douche, but I can’t, because that’s intrinsically who he is, who he has become after dealing by himself with his father all these years. 

And now he is hurt, there is something that broke after he woke up from the coma and realized that life moved on while he was asleep, and he doesn’t know how to deal with it. 

He is angry at the world, but mostly at himself, for destroying everything that was important in his life, and missing out on being with the people that matter. 

Now that is mom is gone, he has nothing to live for, but he is not a quitter, so he will find a way to at least survive while life passes him by.

The cabin might be just what he needs to reconnect with his past and find himself, of course he is not expecting her to be there.

Keaton fights him from the starts, she challenges him and doesn’t let him get away with anything, and that is irresistible for him.

He is used to people falling to their feet when they know who he is, but she is definitely not impressed.

She has been through hell and being is this cabin was what he wanted for her, so she is not about to get kicked out buy some rich idiot. She expected he will be an empty vessel, only full of himself, but he surprised her by being exactly what she needs.

He is ready to risk it all and open his heart… is she ready too?

Charmed Souls (Black Souls #1) by Abbi Glines

My Rating: 5 Stars

Series: Yes, Black Souls #1

Sex Scenes: Yes.

Subject:Chemistry for days

Synopsis:

They say blood is thicker than water, but I was never proud of mine. A female born into the Kamlock bloodline was destined to possess three things they couldn’t change—a crazy as hell mother, an unfair amount of beauty, and a Charmed soul that was as black as night.

All a Kamlock woman ever desired in life was to use her beauty to destroy wealthy men and take their riches. A century had passed since a generation of Kamlock sisters had been anything other than gold diggers.

All I ever wanted was to be free of them. I knew I couldn’t change my cursed birth, but I could change its legacy. I had a job, I had friends, and I was slowly gaining my independence.

Until Rathe Scott crashed into my life and tore it apart.

He made me feel what I had spent my entire life never wanting to feel. He brought out a darkness I’d not known was inside me. And just when I thought I was becoming everything I had sworn I would never become…

He was gone.

And Abbi has done it again! And with a supernatural book no less.

I enjoyed everything about this book! It captivated me from page one and I couldn’t put it down.

It might be a little overwhelming at first with all the information the story throws our way and a large quantity of characters. But give it a chance because it won’t disappoint you.

Cat is this strong witch that somehow is different from everyone in her family. She has no idea where her powers come from and what is the extent of them.

One thing she knows is she will never be like her mom and sisters, even if that means never falling in love.

That is until Rathe shows up in her life out of nowhere and he seems to be immune to her powers.

But he also has a lot of secrets, and these could change everything.

A thrilling and captivating story, I can’t wait to read the next one!

You know a book is one of the good ones when you turn that last page you didn’t even know was the last and go ... what? Noooo!!!

Amazing!

“You’re more than you realize. I’ve tried to tell you that already. I, uh, I don’t think you are who you think you are,” he stopped abruptly then just gave a shake of his head. “You don’t want to hear what I think. Just do me a favor and don’t underestimate your power. You may not agree, but my mother,” he said then pointed at me “and your mother… they are scared of you. There is something we don’t know. But I read people well, and those two are careful not to push you too hard. When you were younger they weren’t as careful around you but the closer you get to twenty-one, things are changing. There is a power shift and you’re so used to the way things have been all your life, you don’t see it.”

This wasn’t the first time Duely had said something like this to me, but it was the first time he had mentioned things shifting the older I got. I still thought he was being dramatic and reading things into situations that weren’t there. I was done arguing that my mother, who had made my life hell from the moment my father died, was scared of me. She hated me. That was clear. She hated that I wouldn’t give her the power of three. She hated that I was stubborn and like my father. She possibly hated that I was half normal. But Persephone Kamlock was by no means scared of me. I let out a hard laugh. “It’s past time you let that theory go,” I told him.

He lowered his eyebrows in a frown. The frustrated kind, not the angry kind. He wanted me to buy into this idea of me being powerful. I had a mortal as a father. That was impossible to consider.

“Explain then why you feel a dark cast and I feel nothing? How do you know it’s dark? What is it you feel?” He was challenging me now. I didn’t have answers, of course. I was still trying to wrap my head around the disappearing act the caster had done.

“You would have felt it too if you’d seen the man,” I said in way of explanation.

“But I didn’t see him. No one did… but you,” he shot back.

I opened my mouth to remind him that I’d been walking around by myself to get peace. There was no way the man knew he’d see me out there alone. He hadn’t been waiting on me. That was ridiculous. This was getting us nowhere. Duely was done with the evening and wanted to get stoned. He wasn’t going to do much to help me. I just shook my head and turned to walk back to the house. “Maybe I’m crazy!” I called out to him, as I walked, trying to break the tension that had unintentionally built.

“Or maybe you’re darker than you want to accept,” was his response.

Never Enough (Meet Me in Montana #1) by Kelly Elliott

My Rating: 5 Stars

Series: Yes, Meet Me in Montana #1.

Sex Scenes: Yes.

Subject: To Second chances.

Synopsis:

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Cowboys and Angels series comes an intricate romance that asks the question, Can love heal the pain of the past?

Longing to forget the pain of his wife’s death, Brock Shaw has immersed himself in the one thing that lets him escape the guilt. Bull riding. But life on the road means leaving his young son at home with his parents. They want him to give up his career and be a father to his child, but Brock needs the adrenaline to get through each day…or so he thinks.

Lincoln Pratt needs a fresh start. As a top interior designer in Atlanta, she has everything she could ever want, but she’s always at her father’s mercy. Something’s missing, and Lincoln knows she’ll only find it somewhere far away—like the rolling pastures of Hamilton, Montana, where she meets the irresistibly mysterious Brock.

In Brock Shaw, Lincoln sees the part of her that’s missing. In Lincoln Pratt, Brock sees the part of himself he thought he’d lost. But the pain of his past binds him. Can he let himself love again?

What is it about Kelly Elliot’s romance that captures you? I Have no clue! The only thing that I know is that whenever I start one of her books, it’s impossible to put it down.

This book was no exception, Brock and Lincoln story was sweet, funny and heartbreaking all in one.

Lincoln is trying to get some independence from her parents, she has been under their shadow for far too long, and now she needs to become who she was always supposed to be, without their help.

Brock has been going through life avoiding real commitments and love, he is not ready to let anyone close to him again. After what happened the last time he did, he is not risking destroying someone else’s life again.

That is until he sees her, she captures him and without even knowing why, he starts changing into a new person, someone that believes in love and want to trust that he can open his heart again and this time around it won’t be disastrous.

Lincoln is fascinated by Brock, he is a mystery and on top of that he is irresistible. Can she overlook all the craziness that seems to come out every time he feels threatened or will she just settle for something easier?

Brock deserves a second chance, but he is the only one that has the power to make it happen, to let go of his fears and take a chance on her. And maybe then, him and his son will finally have that missing piece they have been looking for.

Subject: His life for mine

Synopsis

FROM THE #1 'NEW YORK TIMES' BESTSELLING AUTHOR COMES AN UNEXPECTED LOVE STORY OF FAMILY, SECRETS, AND THE MOST INTIMATE OF DECEPTIONS.

My estranged twin brother, Julian, was always the wonder boy - and soon-to-be CEO of our ruthless father's corporation. My mother and me? Left behind. Now, years after tearing our family apart, my father dares to ask "me" for a favor? Pretend to be Julian while he fights to survive a tragic accident. It can save the company. Nobody will be the wiser. It'll be our secret.

I can play Dad's favorite. I'll do anything for Julian. And for my mother, who'll want for nothing.

But this double life comes with a beauty of a hitch: my very real feelings for Julian's fiancée, Isobel. Not only am I betraying Julian, I'm deceiving a woman I love. She doesn't suspect a thing. As lies compound, lines are crossed and loyalties tested, all I can ask myself is. . .what have I done?

Because sooner or later something's got to give. There's no way I'm giving up Isobel. But once the truth is exposed, it might not be my choice at all.

Twins separated by their dad’s greed, once brothers now strangers, they will have to trust each other in order to survive.

Bridge has hated everything related to his father’s family as far as he can remember. His dad broke his mom and he is sure he has now broken Jules too. He promised to protect them both, but he has failed him and now the time has come for him to stay true to his words and save Jules world and dream, if it’s the last thing he does.

But making a deal with the devil has its price, and he is soon to learn that sometimes the price might be too high, and he might lose everything he was trying to protect.

Isobel is going insane, that is the only explanation she can come up with. He is not the same guy she has gotten used to, there’s a different light coming from him, he touches her soul in a way that he has never done before. Could a life-threatening accident have brought back the love of her life? An even better version than the one she originally met? Why does it feel as if it is a different love altogether?

How can Julian forgive them for the ultimate betrayal, even though they went in with their eyes closed? 

Their father’s plan might to destroy them both is in motion, and it’s up to them to make the next inning move.

Secrets, love and lust make this story and amazing one to say the least. Rachel has done it again, she has created a drama we can’t stay away from, and I can’t wait to read the next book.

 

Abandon (Seaside Pictures #3.6) by Rachel Van Dyken

My Rating: 4 Stars

Sex Scenes: Yes.

Series: Yes, Seaside Pictures #3.6

Synopsis:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a new story in her Seaside Pictures series… 

It’s not every day you're slapped on stage by two different women you've been dating for the last year. 

I know what you're thinking. What sort of ballsy woman gets on stage and slaps a rockstar? Does nobody have self-control anymore? It may have been the talk of the Grammy's. 

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention that. I, Ty Cuban, was taken down by two psychotic women in front of the entire world. Lucky for us the audience thought it was part of the breakup song my band and I had just finished performing. I was thirty-three, hardly ready to settle down. 

Except now it's getting forced on me. Seaside, Oregon. My band mates were more than happy to settle down, dig their roots into the sand, and start popping out kids. Meanwhile I was still enjoying life. 

Until now. Until my forced hiatus teaching freaking guitar lessons at the local studio for the next two months. Part of my punishment, do something for the community while I think deep thoughts about all my life choices. 

Sixty days of hell. 

It doesn't help that the other volunteer is a past flame that literally looks at me as if I've sold my soul to the devil. She has the voice of an angel and looks to kill—I would know, because she looks ready to kill me every second of every day. I broke her heart when we were on tour together a decade ago. 

I'm ready to put the past behind us. She's ready to run me over with her car then stand on top of it and strum her guitar with glee. 

Sixty days. I can do anything for sixty days. Including making the sexy Von Abigail fall for me all over again. This time for good. 

Damn, maybe there’s something in the water. 

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
