REVIEW Ride For Me by VR Baucke

_{^{Ride For Me was my very first read by VR Baucke, and let me just tell you, she is such a fantastic writer. This book drew me in quickly and consumed my whole day, my heart, it just took over! It was such a fantastic read with a suspenseful twist to it. I highly recommend this book, and this author for that matter.}}

MY REVIEW

💜💜💜💜💜

This is the first book I have read by this author, but my goodness, her writing just grabbed me and held me captive. I was so intrigued by what was happening that I didn't want to put it down at all. The characters all had such addictive personalities and it was written in a way that you felt like you were part of the crew too, not just an outsider looking in. I loved the fact that there was fun banter, the book had a light joking side but it also had the suspenseful side to it as well. I think this worked well together in this story. 

Lili is such a feisty woman. Her past has shaped who she is today, as everyone's pasts do, but she takes a while to trust. She is so close to her brother, which I love. She was a great heroine to introduce us into the world of the North Shore Crew. Batman aka Gage, he is so broody and hot! I felt so incredibly sad with his story. My heart ached for him. I loved that this book healed so many broken pieces of each character. 

I will admit I may have teared up a bit while reading this book, I just felt my heart ache in certain parts of this story, but the story totally warmed my heart right back up. I just loved it. I can't wait for the next story in this series! Or all the stories for that matter!

This is my voluntary arc review.

BLURB
Jess & Mace.
Bright eyes & Cowboy.
Gorgeous, guarded and torn between her desires and responsibilities.
Charming, persistent, and loyal to a fault.
Together, they define love at its rawest, loss at its most crippling, and defeat at its most heartbreaking.

The instant Mace clapped eyes on Jess, the laws of attraction were set in motion.
Despite Jess’ resistance, their chemistry is more addictive than any drug they’ve ever known, and Jess finds herself wanting more than she can allow herself to have.
While she refuses to let him in, Mace willingly reveals his own sordid secret - the one he once vowed to take to the grave - in a bid to gain her trust. Armed with that knowledge, Jess doesn’t know whether to fall for the man a little further or push him away harder.
The decision is made for her the moment her double life makes a turn for the worse. The crew’s fears become reality when drastic actions lead to horrific consequences, and in the blink of an eye their entire world tilts on its axis.
Through the heartbreak and regret, will Jess be strong enough to walk away from the only man to earn her heart?

Blog Tour Debauchery by Remy Blake

Title: Debauchery

Series: King's University Series

Author: Remy Blake

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: July 5, 2019

Attending the prestigious King’s University is one of the many things I must do to keep my parents happy and my trust fund secure. 

Having a stellar transcript is another. Unfortunately, my grades are slipping and the only available option is setting up extra help with my professor. 

After the first study session I know I’m in trouble. Her tempting lips and the honey scent of her perfume tests my resolve until it crumbles. One shared kiss and I’m willing to risk it all.

Professor Martínez may be my downfall, but falling never felt so good.

RATING - 💜💜💜💜

I was so excited to get my hands on the final installment for this series. Debauchery is another forbidden, student/teacher romance, just like the previous 2 books in this book series. I really enjoyed this book for the most part. It ticked all my boxes. I did however expect a bit more drama and I felt like a few things were left untouched that should maybe have been visited by the end of the book, but other than that this book was HOT! I am talking, Connor tries to set your kindle on fire, kind of hot.

Connor is such a dirty talker. He comes across as a cocky but he is actually kind of sweet. Harper is a strong woman, even though she has been completely let down in the past. These two together really did steam up my kindle.

I would have loved to see if anything actually happened between Sadie and Cruz. There are a few questions I have but to say here would be exposing a plot point that I don't want to give away. I devoured this book so fast. I could not put it down, not even for a second. I hope we see some more books soon from this fab author.
This is my voluntary review

Remy Blake is a male and female author duo, comprised of Jacob Chance and Marley Valentine. Pairing up to have some fun, they write steamy, short reads, with insta love/lust, an occasional side of taboo and a guaranteed HEA. You can expect twice the debauchery in every book they write.

REVIEW - RELEASE. Lani Lynna Vale - It Wasn't Me

Piper Mackenzie first sees him shirtless, standing in front of the military plane she was about to board, with one rather large wrench in his hand. The fact that he has the plane—the one that she’s about to be flying on for hours—in pieces only minutes before she’s set to take off on it doesn’t faze her. At least not until a flippant joke about dying in mid-air leaves his lips.

The second time she sees him, he’s helping her from the wreckage of her car. The wreckage that he helped cause.

The third, he’s laying across from her in the same bed, and there’s no denying what happened the night before.

The fourth, well that time would be the first of many. Being Mrs. Jonah Crew has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

*****

Jonah Crew saw her for the first time as she stared at him in awe. It was snowing, the temp was in the negative degrees, and he couldn’t think about anything but her and the look of horror on her face when he tells a badly-timed joke.

The second time he sees her, his heart skips a beat, but not for the reason that one might think. Mainly, it’s due in part to the fact that his truck smashed into her car so hard that his chest hits the steering wheel and his heart decides to stop working right.

The third time, he’s fairly positive that he’s died and gone to heaven. At least, that’s what waking up next to a beautiful woman like her signifies, right?

The fourth? Well, he’s not quite sure how he got there, but he’s already said ‘I do’ so what’s a guy to do?

Rating - 💜💜💜💜 . 5

4.5 Stars

I just love LLV novels! This book is about Jonah and Piper. Piper we met in the Bear Bottom MC series with her sisters Pru and Phoebe. I found it funny that they were all named after the TV witches, but I loved the idea. 

Jonah is a brooding man, a bit standoffish with everyone but Piper. I loved the connection these two have. They connect on a deeper level and are just perfect for each other. Piper is a strong woman but also has a much softer side as well. 

This book kept me intrigued the whole way through, and it had the usual LLV suspenseful twist. I just enjoy reading these books so much. I can't wait to get my hands on the next one!

BLOG TOUR - The Locker Room by Meghan Quinn

 

THE LOCKER ROOM (Getting Lucky #1) by Meghan Quinn 

Release Date: June 20th Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44010609-the-locker-room

 

 

AVAILABLE NOW!!! FREE in Kindle Unlimited! Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2In9iDF Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2Rk4z8v Amazon CA: https://amzn.to/2Rhp9GA Amazon AU: https://amzn.to/2WNi2H5

 

 

Blurb: Have you heard the rumor around campus about the locker room?

If you haven't, let me enlighten you: Legend has it if you bring a girl into the sacred after-game domain of the baseball locker room, it will end with a walk down the aisle. One rowdy and naked encounter against the lockers with the girl of your dreams will make her your wife.

Translation: baseball players are stupidly superstitious and believe the locker room has magical powers.

But not all baseball players are superstitious, me included.

So when the girl I've fallen for brushes me off, I start to question if I need to switch my way of thinking. Maybe it's time I finally hand out a coveted invitation to the locker room.

The only question is, will she accept?

Rating - 💜💜💜💜💜++

Gahh! I love this book SO MUCH! College romances are one of my favourite things to read, and this one is one of the best books, and college romances I have ever had the pleasure of reading. This is easily my most favourite Meghan Quinn novel to date. Meghan Quinn's words just jumped off that page and captivated me right from the start. I was in stitches laughing. It wasn't just a giggle, it was snort out loud laughing and I loved every minute of it.

Emory has been hurt in the past, so this makes her more withdrawn when it comes to our fabulous hero. I did love Emory's character. Even though she was hurt, she is a strong young woman.
Knox... ohhh Knox. This hero is one to keep in the Book boyfriend vault. He is just amazing!! He is a joker, which I love, but he also has such a serious and passionate side. I fell in love with him... HARD!!! He made me swoon so much through this book, that's for sure.

I highly recommend this rom-com to absolutely EVERYONE, because it is EVERYTHING!!!! If I could I would give this book at least 100 stars. I really hope there is more stories from the Locker Room world because I really want to head on back to the Locker Room. I will definitely be reading this book again.

Excerpt: This map is useless.

Easy to read, my ass. I need a magnifying glass to make out any of the color-coded buildings on this thing and unfortunately, I left my magnifying glass in my other skirt. That was sarcasm, if you didn’t catch it.

Standing next to a wonky-looking tree, I try to act as casual as possible—hip popped out, interested glances, the usual—as I hide a school map beneath the pages of Pride and Prejudice , while off-handedly looking for the MacMillan building. But the wind—though subtle—isn’t making things easy.

Recently transferred from Cal State, Fullerton, I’m attempting to avoid making a fool of myself on the first day of fall classes at my new school, Brentwood University.

Unfortunately, I’m way out of my element.

For one, I know nothing about this school other than they have the best library sciences program in the country. Making the transfer a no-brainer for me the minute I realized I wanted to be a librarian. I dabbled in business at Cal State, but who was I kidding? I had no right trying to figure out micro-and macroeconomics.

A California girl through and through, Illinois is nothing like the palm trees and beaches I’ve grown up with. Don’t get me wrong, there are trees here, huge, plush, green trees everywhere, the kind of trees Bob Ross made dance on his canvas. But the smog . . . I have no idea where that is. Breathing fresh air almost feels wrong. And apparently pizza is a big deal here. I’ve heard at least three separate arguments since I’ve moved about which pizza in town is best. Let’s all be friends and be grateful there is good pizza here.

And even though this is a “small” school town outside Chicago, it’s larger than life with boisterous personalities and ivy-covered buildings that cause me to believe I’m walking on the hallowed grounds where the prosperous were educated.

Plus, I had to buy leggings for all my skirts, because the temperature doesn’t call for bare legs out here.

The wind picks up again, lifting my skirt and map at the same time. Not wanting to be known as the resident flasher on campus, I save the skirt—because even though I have leggings, I chose not to wear them today—and tamp it back down on my legs as the map lifts from my book, floats into the air, twirling and swirling only to smack a passing guy right in the face.

Whap .

“What the—?” He startles and I jump into action.

“I’m so sorry,” I say, scrambling to hold my skirt down while clutching my parted book at my chest.

The map is slowly peeled away and a pair of beautiful light blue eyes peek past the paper first, followed by the sharpest jawline I’ve ever seen, defined and tense. Light scruff matches his dirty-blond hair that is swept to the left and cut short on the sides. Dressed in a green Brentwood baseball sweatshirt and wearing a jaw-dropping smile, he chuckles and hands me the map while eyeing me up and down.

Why is he so familiar?

Those eyes.

“Not a problem, but you could have asked for help if you were lost. Slapping me with a map is an aggressive tactic, effective, but aggressive.”

That voice, that smirk. I know it from somewhere.

Feeling a light blush creep up my cheeks, I say, “Not used to the wind.”

He nods and thumbs behind him. “Lake Michigan. It’s a bitch in the winter.” He studies me for a second and then nods at my map. “Where you headed? I can help.” There is the smallest southern drawl in his voice, nothing strong, but enough to tell me he’s not from Illinois.

I know that voice. I remember specifically thinking it was hot.

Tamping down my map and folding it in my book that I snap shut quickly, I say, “I promised I’d figure this all out on my own, but looks like I might need a little help after all.”

“Don’t blame yourself; this campus is a maze with no rhyme or reason. I was lost my entire first semester. Can’t tell you how many times I was late to class.”

“That’s reassuring.”

He tilts his head to the side and gives me a small once-over. “I know you.” I don’t say anything and just as his eyes land on my chest, a smile creeps over his face, a light bulb lighting in his head. “You’re the girl who helped me find my room on Saturday.”

Oh.

Shit.

It’s the yellow-door baseball guy.

He leans forward, hands stuffed in his pockets and says, “I never forget a good pair of tits.”

As if I wasn’t blushing enough already.
