Review: "Protecting Caroline by Susan Stoker"

Matthew “Wolf” Steel hated flying commercial. Luckily his job as a Navy SEAL meant he didn’t have to do it very often. He’d been unlucky enough to be assigned a middle seat on the cramped jet, but fortunately for him, the woman next to him was willing to switch seats with him. Hoping for a relaxing flight, Wolf was pleasantly surprised at the good conversation and sense of humor the woman had as they flew 36,000 feet over the countryside.

When Caroline boarded the plane to Virginia to move across the country for her new job she never expected to be seated next to the hottest guy she’d ever seen. She also never expected he’d be so easy to talk to. She knew he’d never be interested in talking to her if he hadn’t been trapped in the seat next to her, but it was a nice way to spend a long plane ride.

Neither Wolf nor Caroline were prepared for a terrorist hijacking of their plane, but if Caroline thought that would be the last time she’d see, or need, Wolf, she’d be sorely mistaken.

Favorite Quote: "He loved her, Caroline was his everything"

Review:
I liked this book. I was hesitant to read it because I tried to read another book by the author and couldn't get into it because the main character just wouldn't stop talking. Anyhow, I liked it. I took me a bit to get used to the writing because the character had very long monologues. But when the action started I got stuck in the story. I read it in one sitting.
I was surprised that there wasn't any sex? Or I missed it and that says enough as well. There was some build up for it but I don't recall it ever getting to it.
Even though it didn't feel like a insta love book, the characters did grow attached to each other really quickly.

What is this book about:
Caroline is a chemist. She is on her way to a new job, she wanted a change of change of scenery after her parents died. On the flight over she meets Mathew or known by his team mates 'wolf'. Caroline offers to switch seat with him so he can have some extra leg room.
They chatted a little bit but things where about to change. The actions of one set allot of things in motion. The terrorist that tried to take over the plane was only the beginning....

What did I like/love:
Caroline was really resilient. She did more than most people would have done when in similar situations. She didn't thought highly of herself but she did great.
I liked Wolf, he was a good man and really wanted to do right by the people he loved.
I really liked wolf's group of friends, teammates as well. They are a fun group and very loyal.

What did I dislike/hate:
Nothing really.

Review: "The Player by Claire Contreras"

I'm naturally gifted on the field and between the sheets. With flashy cars and enough media attention to put the Royal Family to shame, I’m the definition of Most Eligible Bachelor.

Every man wants to be me and every woman wants to tame me. Until Camila.

The moment I lay eyes on her, I know I have to have her.

She wants to keep me at arm's length.
I want her naked in my bed.

She thinks our worlds are too different.
All I want her to think about is screaming my name.

She says I’m bad news.

I have three weeks to prove her wrong.

Favorite Quote: “Life is short. We’re only here to chase moments. I’d rather make those moments worthwhile.”

Review:
If I had to pick one word to describe this book, it sadly would be boring. Everything was just meh for me. Nothing really stood out. The characters conversations felt very monotone. It didn't evoke any emotion. Everything was so..descriptive, if that makes sense.
I think this book could have been a hell of allot shorter and still get the point across.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that it was a bad book or a bad story. It just didn't do anything for me.

What is this book about:
When football (soccer ) player Warren meets Camilla he knows instantly he wants her. He is so used to woman wanting him, he didn't expect Camilla to turn him down. That only made him want her more. Warren is only in the US for a short period of time and he is determined to have her.
Camilla is sure that Warren only wants her because she said no. She is sure that they have nothing in common and that they would never work. But the more he tries, the more time they spend together, the more she finds herself falling for him. Will Warren prove Camilla wrong or will their story end with a broken heart

What did I like/love:
Sadly nothing really. Nothing really stood out for me to love.

What did I dislike/hate:
Didn't hate or dislike anything either

Review: "Full Measures by Rebecca Yarros"

Three knocks can change everything…

"She knew. That’s why Mom hadn’t opened the door. She knew he was dead."

Twenty years as an army brat and Ember Howard knew, too. The soldiers at the door meant her dad was never coming home. What she didn’t know was how she would find the strength to singlehandedly care for her crumbling family when her mom falls apart.

Then Josh Walker enters her life. Hockey star, her new next-door neighbor, and not to mention the most delicious hands that insist on saving her over and over again. He has a way of erasing the pain with a single look, a single touch. As much as she wants to turn off her feelings and endure the heartache on her own, she can’t deny their intense attraction.

Until Josh’s secret shatters their world. And Ember must decide if he’s worth the risk that comes with loving a man who could strip her bare.

Favorite Quote: “We’re taking it slow until you say so, because I can’t bear to hear a ‘no’ from you. But here’s your only warning: I’m going to chase the fuck out of you.”

Review:
For some reason I was hesitant to read this book. Don't know why. But I'm glad I finally picked it up. Once I started I wasn't able to put it down. Some of the 'surprises' where a bit predictable to me but the author waited till the last second to reveal it so it had me doubting at some point.
There where some things that I wish where explained a bit better, like why Ember and Josh liked each other in high school while they had zero interaction with each other. I think that if that was established a bit better then their current relationship would feel less insta loveish. It wasn't really insta love, but it was intense from the start without really explaining how come. To me atleast.
The romance was a bit sappy sometimes, bordering on unrealistic at times.
But overall I really enjoyed this book and I bought the other books in the series. I'm really looking forward to Jaggers book, I liked him.

What is this book about:
This book is about December, or Ember as she is called by everyone. She is a 20 year old college student who's father is in the military. The book starts with her entire world falling apart by three simple knocks. It's something that every military familie hopes never happens but sadly happens to often. It (often) means that a loved one isn't coming home. This is the case with Embers father. It changed everything for her.
But not everything changes for the worse, it caused her to meet/reconnect with her old crush Josh. Ember is the person that tries to help everyone, that is trying to carry her entire family and keep them going. But who is helping her? That is what Josh is willing to do. He is willing to be her whatever.

What did I like/love:
I loved that, and it may sound weird, this book dealt with such heavy and real emotions. Loss is a difficult thing and everyone deals with it differently.
I also loved Josh, he was almost to good to be true. Somethings he said where a bit sappy, never heard a man speak like that, but I liked it.

What did I dislike/hate:
Nothing I really disliked or hated. Just some things that I wished where developed a bit more to make it a bit more believable. Like the connection Josh and Ember had with each other. I got why Ember was taken with Josh, but why was he so willing to do everything for her.

Review "The Fox and the Hound by Wren Micheals"

Jayla “Fox” McFadden 'MacGyvered' her way through college and right onto the radar of the CIA. Instead of getting busted, she got offered a job. She's a chemist by day, but moonlights on special missions utilizing her unique talents when needed, everything from bomb building to booby traps. She's fought tooth and black-polished nail to make her way in the world and prove she's more than a set of tits. From her thick, black eyeliner to her Doc Martens with leather mini-skirts, she stands out, and likes it that way.

Noah “Hound” Kendrick is the best tracker on his SEAL team. Haunted by the fact that he got his mother killed, he put his body, mind, and soul into the SEALs in retribution, trying to make the world a better place. They are his duty and family now, nothing gets in the way. Especially love, as he refuses to open up his heart and lose someone at his expense ever again.

Jayla's latest mission is to retrieve a list of buyers from an arms dealer. She's teamed with the SEALs who must take out a bunker hidden offshore near the dealer's private island. But a squall line from an impending hurricane throws off their plans as Jayla and Noah get separated from the team, washing up on a deserted air force base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Now the Fox and the Hound must survive the elements and each other, as they ride out the physical and emotional storm heading their way.

Favorite Quote:

Review:
I expected a kick ass story about a Navy SEAL and a CIA officer. We got the SEAL and the CIA officer but the story fell flat.

What is this book about:
This story is about Noah and Jayla. Noah is a navy seal and Jayla is a CIA officer. They meet at a mutual friends barbeque and they where attracted to each other but they didnt left things on good terms.
They didn't expect to see each other again so soon, and definitely not in the circumstances they find themselves in. You see Noah (aka the hound ) and Layla (the fox) have to work together to bring down a weapon dealer.

What did I like/love:
I liked the idea of the story. The side characters where oke. And I liked Noah. But thats about it.


What did I dislike/hate:
I really didn't like Jayla. She was so extra and borderline rude. It felt like she was trying to hard and her actions came across as forced.
Her actions on the mission really made me think why anyone would think she would make a good officer. She made some really stupid decisions.
For someone that hated that people judged her or made assumptions, she did it herself a whole lot.

The story fell flat for me. I expected more from the book and sadly it didn't deliver.

She finally escapes, branding herself an outlaw and hunted by the Enforcers. Her best chance at survival is Connor Mackenzie, an aggressively sensual fugitive who opens her eyes to the wicked possibilities of a world without rules.

As the leader of a band of outlaw fighters, Connor can’t resist the beautiful stranger who asks for his protection. Despite his reservations, he agrees to introduce her to a whole new way of life. But when Connor discovers Hudson’s connection to the enemies of liberty, he wonders how far he can trust the woman who has abandoned all inhibitions to challenge every forbidden desire.

Favorite Quote: “Freedom was a drug, one that grabbed hold of you the second it entered your bloodstream. It made you giddy and reckless if you didn’t know how to channel it.”

Review:
I was really excited about this book. I'm a bit in a dystopia/apocalypse kind of mood so I wanted to read this book. That and I know if it's an Elle Kennedy book then there will be some really hot scene. And I'm not afraid to say that I looked forward to that as well.

What is this book about:
The world has had terrible wars and one finally took it's toll. As a result the survives decided to create new rules for society. Everyone is one and the same. If you get sick, you are screwed. Natural selection all the way. The rulers decide who gets to reproduce and who doesn't. Fear is the way to rule and for some it works. For others not so much.
Being an outlaw in todays world is dangerous but it's a price many are willing to pay for freedom.
Hudson knows that all to well. After her father died she found out that he arranged for her to marry a psychopath. So at the first opportunity she ran. When trying to find a save place to stay and hide out she meets Connor. She is immediately taken by him but he is a hard man to crack. He reluctantly, after being guilt tripped by his friends, allows her to stay but only for one night. It now became Hudson's mission to make sure that invitation gets expanded to permanent.

What did I like/love:
Oke I have to say this but I loved the sex scenes haha. There where a few really hot ones, and also a few very hot oral scenes. They where really hot.
I also liked the concept of the story but I would have liked a little more background. Like we know what happened but I would have liked some more info. It not really necessary but it would have been nice.
The story was left open and I really hope that it will be picked up in the next books.

Not only did I liked the main characters, I really love the side characters as well. Especially Rylan. Loved that guy. I hope all of them got books of their own.

Overall I enjoyed this book. It wasn't my favorite by Elle Kennedy but I still enjoyed it.

Review "Unknown series by Wendy Higgins"

Amber Tate believes the worst thing she’ll suffer in life is dealing with the unrequited love she feels for her brother’s best friend, Rylen Fite. She also believes war is something unfortunate that happens places far, far away from her rural Nevada town. She’s wrong on both counts.

When an unknown organization meticulously bombs major cities in the United States and across the globe, a trickle-down effect spreads to remaining towns at an alarming speed—everything from food and water sources to technology and communications are compromised. Without leadership, the nation is split between paralysis and panic, but Amber isn’t one to hide or watch helplessly. She’s determined to put her nursing skills to use, despite the danger, even if it means working alongside the man she can never have.

Favorite Quote: "Because this was life. Laughter, love, friendships. We had a way of life to protect. We weren’t perfect by any means, but we were good . And we sure as hell weren’t giving it up without a fight."

Review:
I remember reading this book the first time and loving it, I couldn't put the series down and had to read it back to back. The same happened this time I read the book. I got pulled right back in and didn't want to get out. I loved it as much as I did the first time and that says something about Wendy's writing skills.

What is this book about:
This book is told from Ambers pov but it's more a story of many character. Amber and her brother Tater meet Rylen when they where kids. Rylen lives next door but not in the most stable house hold. Both of them are taken with Rylen the second they met them. Tater and Rylen become best friends immediately.
Another main character is Remy, Ambers best friend who she met in high school (if I remember correctly)
Over time Amber develops a huge crush on Rylen but he doesn't seem to notice. When Amber turns 16 the world biggest amusement parks get attacked by an unknown terrorist. This spars the boys into enlisting in the army.
Over the years nobody hears anything from the unknown attackers again. Rylen, Tater and Amber see each other a few times over the years and remain close. Amber tries to get over her crush buts can't seem to do it. She became a nurse but didn't get hired due to not many jobs available so she got a job as a paramedic and found her calling.
Just when people thought that maybe the attack was a one time thing, the whole world gets attacked again. Massive fall outs every where. Things only get weirder from then.

What did I like/love:
I love the build up, I loved that we got to know the characters and their history before diving in to the dystopia/apocalyptic part of the story. We can see things slowly getting worse over time.
I love that we also see how different people react to events differently. Amber felt more suspicious and didn't fully trust what was going on, while Remy believed what she was being told.

The tension between Rylen and Amber killed me. Especially when he came home. The people that read the book know what I mean. I was like are you kidding me. I knew it was coming but I still felt my heart racing.

Overall a great read.

What did I dislike/hate:
Nothing.

Favorite Quote: "They’d ripped everything, everything , from me. I wouldn’t let terror and loss kill my spirit, not while there was still breath in my lungs and blood pumping through my heart. "

Review:
I couldn't wait to jump in to this book after the cliffhanger of the last one. I wanted to see how things would progress for our gang. And I desperately needed to see some progress between Rylen and Amber. The suspense is killing me.

What is this book about:
This book starts where the last one ended. We are following Tater, Amber, Remy and Rylen trying to survive the apocalypse basically. Besides them we also got a group of other of soldiers Ray Harris aka Texa Harry, Devon Price, Sean Wilcott, Matt Nelson, Mark Mahalchick and Josh Depaul, that completes our group. They are all trying to cope with what happened and trying to figure out how to survive what is going to happen. Their first priority is trying to get to a save place and then trying to figure out how to fight back.
As if that isn't enough Amber is still trying to deal with her feelings for Rylen. I think Remy said it best "Seriously Amber, the world's been taken over by freaking aliens and you're still cared to tell him you love him".

What did I like/love:
I love the characters in this book. The group is such a great group to read about. I seriously love all of them. It's no secret that I have a serious thing for Military men.
I love how despite everything everyone is still willing to fight. To protect our way of live and the people they care about. Something not all invaders took into account. It really showed how humans can survive and overcome anything if they choose to. That people can come together and fight as a unit if again, we choose to.
It took time but I was so glad to finally see some progress between Amber and Rylen. It was long overdue.

Another great read.

Nothing

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Amber Tate never dreamed their heart-wrenching escape from the enemy’s attack would lead them to the most beautiful place she’s ever seen, marred by one ugly fact; it’s under enemy control. Like everywhere else in the world, Elmendorf military base in Alaska has been captured, and it’s time to take it back—all of it—one base, one city at a time. After losing so much, Amber clings to the only precious person she has left, and vows to sacrifice everything to help save the Earth.

Remy Haines is a lover, not a fighter, so when she finds herself in enemy territory, expected to feign allegiance while gathering intel for the rebel cause, she’s never been more out of her element. Tensions only increase when her feelings for Jacob “Tater” Tate won’t go away, and the enemy’s leader takes an interest in her. She’s torn between what her heart wants, and what she knows she should do. As for what her body needs…well, it’s always had a mind of its own.

Review:
Great conclusion to a great series. This book ads Remy's pov. I remember not being to excited about that the first time around and in the beginning I felt the same. Not because I didn't like it but because I was so anxious to see what was going on with Rylen and Amber. But it does add some insight to the other side of this war. It was interesting to read.

What is this book about:
This book picks up where the last one ended. Amber and the others had to evacuate from their base. Linette, Tater and Remy didn't make it to the plane and are captured by the enemy.
Things are uncertain for Texas Harry, Devon, Sean, Matt, Mark, Josh, Rylen and Amber. They are trying their hardest to fight back and keep hope alive.
In the mean time Linette, Tater and Remy are trying to figure out how to survive amongst the enemy and to find a way to help our side win the war. Sacrifices will have to be made...but will it be worth it in the end?

What did I like/love:
I love the steps Rylen and Amber took in their relationship. They are great together. And it was about time as well.
I loved seeing everything come together. There was allot of buildup through out the series. In the end the final battle was over rather quickly but it got the job done.

Overall I just really liked this book. I liked how everything turned out and how the group was interacting with each other. They where all great together.
This series had allot of suspense as well. I really think they would make a great movie or series. Its still one of the best apocalypse/ dystopia/ invasion series I've read so far.

Review: "Bad for her by Christi Barth"

Doctor Mollie Vickers loves the tight-knit community of her tiny Oregon town. But she’s not a fan of the limited dating options. Sleep with a guy who tried to copy off her in junior high? Pass. Mollie’s sex life is flatlining… until a deliciously handsome man she’s never seen before stops to help her fix a flat tire.

As an ex-mobster, Rafe Maguire’s no saint. But he’s trying to turn over a new leaf. Although he probably shouldn’t kiss the hot doctor on the side of the highway. Or suggest a no-strings fling with a woman he has no business pursuing. Rafe’s life is too complicated for love—his new WITSEC-provided identity doesn’t fit him at all and there’s a U.S. Marshal watching his every move. He can’t tell Mollie the truth… but their chemistry is scorching and being good doesn’t mean he can’t be a little bad.

Mollie can’t resist the guy who looks rough, talks tough, and is loyal to the bone. But it’s obvious Rafe is keeping secrets. When the truth comes out, Mollie must decide if she could ever love an ex-mobster… or if this bad boy has truly gone good.

Favorite Quote: "A girl who’s a little bad is perfect for a guy who’s never really been good "

Review:
I was curious about this book. The summary sounded interesting and I needed a bit of a light interesting read.

What is this book about:
This book is about Dr. Mollie and ex mobster Rafe. Rafe and his brothers are in the witness protection program after striking a deal to testify against their boss. They are located, again, to a small town. Coming from San Fransisco, they don't really like it in the small town, and thats putting it lightly. Rafe got a job as a mechanic, and thats about the only thing he likes about this town, that and the fact that it keeps his brothers save and happens to have a hot single doctor does help.
When Mollie gets stranded at the side of the road with a flat tire she couldn't believe her luck when a hot guy pulls over to give her a hand. Their chemistry is off the chart. It's often when you aren't looking that you find exactly what you need. You only need to accept it.

What did I like/love:
I liked the concept of the story. Rafe was a great guy, he is loyal to the bone and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep them save.
Mollie was a great girl as well, she is smart, and had great sass.
They chemistry between Rafe and Mollie was great as well.
There was some drama and I think Mollie was overreacting a bit but I could understand why. I did like that she owned up to it and admitted that she got spooked. I really liked that she did that.
Overall it was a sweet and easy story. I enjoyed reading it.

Review:
I was really curious about this book. The summary sounded really interesting and it got good reviews.

What is this book about:
This book is about Mercy and Cain. They have a tricky connection in there past. You see Cain is the son of a serial killer and Mercy is the one he didn't kill. The Killer killed her entire family but not her.
After her families death live wasn't that great for Mercy. Especially not when she got admitted to a mental hospital. There is a doctor working there that is obsessed with her and is intent on making things as hard as possible for her.
Cain can't escape his fathers legacy, people recognize him and fear him. He has done everything he can to make up for his childhood and his father. He works as a consultant for the FBI. He has the ability to see the crime through a killers eyes when he gets in contact with the victims blood.
When recent crime scenes have to many similarities to Cain's fathers crimes he has to find the one person that can give him the details he needs to solve the case.

What did I like/love:
I liked the concept, it was very intriguing. I liked that it wasn't obvious from the start who the killer was. I did suspect someone earlier that Cain and the others did, but there was more than meets the eye to it. So yes I did figure out the twists early but it didn't bother me or took away from the story for me.
I liked seeing Cain grow, I really felt for him. He thought so badly about himself and it broke my heart to see it.
Overall I did enjoy the story it just didn't blow my mind. I expected more.

What did I dislike/hate:
The romance between Cain and Mercy went really fast. I didn't like that aspect. It didn't really feel the connection between them. I got part of it but not all of it if that makes sense.
Some of the story went a bit odd for me. There wasn't much explanation about the paranormal aspect of the story and the abilities the characters had. I didn't know whether it was a secret or if everyone knew.
