Review Blast: THE FAMILY CROSS by Gabrielle Ash

 

 Release Date: July 6

Matilda Ashby has a pair of Ivy League degrees and a dream of unseating her brother as their billionaire father’s favorite. But just as she inches close to her goal, Matilda’s world is rocked by monsters roaming the Manhattan streets and the elusive enemy at her father’s corporation who hired them to kill her.

With assassins on the heels of her Manalos, and the family business’s reputation in danger of being destroyed, Matilda hires the mysterious Samson, a telepath with a shady past, to help her find out who wants her dead. 

But when the would-be assassins can take the form of anyone in her life, Matilda doesn’t know who she should fear most—the monsters hiding inside her family business or the ones coming for her head.

Cursed is the first incredible book in a brand new series by K.K. Allen.

When tragedy strikes and she’s uprooted from her home to a brand new place, she doesn’t know what will happen. Never in a million years did she think that the reason behind the odd events is that she has magical powers. 

I loved reading this book and can’t wait until the next part is released!

OBSESSED by Aleatha Romig - REVIEW BLAST











Everything changed the night our eyes met across the room. His green gaze upon me prickled my skin with uncustomary warmth while my peek beneath his cuff—of a riot of color on his wrist—sparked my insatiable curiosity. Tall and mysterious, Kader was a man whose secrets I longed to know. 

Little did I realize that the night we met was only the beginning—the beginning to the end of the existence I knew. 

What will happen as his assignment becomes our obsession?

Have you been Aleatha’d?

Wow! 

Obsessed has successfully blown my mind in ways that I didn’t think Aleatha Romig could.

This book continues the story of Laurel and Kader from where the first book left off. Their relationship is starting to develop more and more and Kader is feeling more emotions than he ever remembers having.

While they are still trying to figure out who paid Kader to go after Laurel, more mysteries start to come to light.

I cannot wait to see how this completed puzzle will look when get the full picture in Bound, the last book in this trilogy. 











The underworld of Chicago is far from forgiving. It’s a world where knowledge means power, power money, and money everything.
While I paid the ultimate price to have it all, it wasn’t my decision to give up my life.
That doesn’t mean I ceased to exist, only to live.
Going where the job takes me and living in the shadows, with deadly accuracy I utilize the skills inherent to me, not knowing from where they came, not recalling what I’d lost.
And then I saw her.
Laurel Carlson.
I shouldn’t want her, desire her, or need her, yet with each sighting I know she is exactly what I have to have. Laurel has the ability to do what I thought was impossible. She sees what others don’t.
My gut tells me that it’s a deadly mistake to change my plans and open my world to her. My mind says she’ll be repulsed by my twisted existence.
None of that matters, because my body won’t take no for an answer.
I’ve made dangerous mistakes before.
This time, will the price be too high?

Twisted is a fast-paced story full of constantly moving parts and characters that will grab you on page one and hold you hostage until the end. This is the first book in the series and boy she has started this trilogy off with a bang! 




WOW!

I’ve been a fan of Aleatha Romig’s works for quite some time and this book is definitely right up there with her best works.

Twisted will hook you from the get-go. The twists and turns that Aleatha is known for will not disappoint.

Kader and Laurel’s story is unlike any you’ve ever read. Kader had an assignment which brought him into Laurel’s world. Never in a million years did he expect that his mission would change mid-way through.

Laurel is a scientist who is on the verge of creating a drug to help PTSD sufferers. When a bidding war starts, she finds herself getting kidnapped by Kader.

Their relationship is so unique and will keep you intrigued all the way through.

I can’t wait to read part 2 – Obsessed to find out what happens next!

KISS ME TONIGHT by Maria Luis - Review Blast







I had it all.
The Super Bowl rings.
The hot shot TV gig.

Then I got fired.

Now I’m living in middle-of-nowhere Maine, playing assistant coach to the woman of my nightmares.

Did I mention that she and her son are my new neighbors?

If you talk to the locals, they’ll tell you Aspen Levi is the queen of high school football.
But if you ask me, my new head coach is a pain in my left nut sac.

She’s too blonde.
Too peppy.
And way too sexy for my peace of mind.

Only, one minute we’re fighting, and the next I can’t keep my hands off her. One hot kiss. One forbidden touch. I don’t do love but . . .

What I want, I take, and what I want is Aspen Levi.



















Kiss Ne Tonight is book 2 in the Put A Ring On It Series but it can certainly be read as a stand-alone, I know this because I have not read book 1 yet and I still loved every word of this sports romance centred around football and small town living. 
Aspen finds herself back in her hometown as a single mum and coach to the local high school football team, it’s a place she never expected to come back to and she is struggling to mix with the residents who feel she betrayed them when she left the small town for what she thought was going to be a better life.  Dominic may be the local football god, he may be a womaniser but when it comes down to it he has a heart of gold but will that be enough to make Aspen want to stay ........
This story has all the feels you expect in a great read, the storyline and the banters flows and is entertaining as well heartbreaking as we get to know Aspen, her son and the residents of London, Maine. Dominic and Aspen need to make the best of the situation fate has put them in can they make it work can they come together as one and get the HEA they both deserve. I loved this couple and I now find myself needing to go back and read book 1 in this series because if this story is anything to go by the rest of this series is going to be fantastic. Loved the plot ,loved the characters, loved the laugh out loud moments as well as the gasping moments that I had my hand over my mouth whilst holding my breath, I loved it all.






Maria Luis is a new author to me. Although this is book 2 in the series I had no problem reading this one as a stand alone. I loved how into football Aspen was, in fact it was this that prompted me to sign up fro read and review this book.
Single mum Aspen Levi has returned to her hometown to take up a job as the high school’s football coach. It’s hard to come home when the majority of people feel she betrayed them when she left.

This was a read with plenty of humour and laugh out loud moments. Ms.Luis wove a story that was realistic and at times heart wrenching.

I really loved Aspen’s character, she seems like someone I could be friends with. Dominic is a man who has been portrayed as an insensitive womaniser, but there is so much more to him than that. His concern and care for children made me smile.

I loved the dynamic between Aspen and her son as she struggled to raise him by herself. I also loved the banter between Aspen and Dominic, not to mention the fireworks. 

Dominic and Aspen were well matched and I really wanted them to get their happily ever after. They both have been scarred by their past and yet both are determined to make the most of life.








Maria Luis is the author of sexy contemporary romances, though she may or may not have a few historical romances hiding in the cobwebs of her computer.
When she's not writing about strong men and the sassy women who sweep them off their feet, Maria is a historian who specializes in medieval England and 19th century New Orleans. What do the two eras have in common, you ask? Not much, except for disease, scandalous activities and crime--Maria's favorite topics. 
Maria lives in New Orleans with her better half, where she can generally be found hiking with her two dogs, Zeus and Athena, kayaking in Louisiana's inter-coastal waterways, or curled up on the couch with a good book.

Review blast for ALL WE ARE by Elisabeth Grace & Michelle Lynn

 





Coming face-to-face with my past changes EVERYTHING.

I’m at the top of my game. All my struggles have finally paid off. Life should be great.

I mean, life is great.

Except for the fact that I can’t stop thinking of her. The woman who mangled my heart into a bloody pulp and never looked back.

If I could free myself of our shared memories, my future would be golden.

There’s only one way to move on—I have to confront the past, so I can move into the next chapter of my life in peace. Which means confronting her for the final time.

I had no idea that knocking on her door that day would turn my life upside down.




Amazon US  |  Amazon UK  | Amazon CA  | Amazon AU  



















Wow, where do I start? This is one of those little gems that you hope you to find. All We Are had me from the first chapter and I was riveted until the last. This was a book which I highly anticipated after reading book 1 and I was not disappointed with the it in any way. This is a great conclusion to a duet which has become one of my favourite reads so far this year.
If you haven’t read the first book  All we Were then you need to STOP as this book picks up a number of years after the previous book finished.
Jimmy needs closure to move forward with his life and in order to do that he has to see Lilah.  
I am unable to say more for fear of spoiling the story accidentally. This was an emotional roller coaster of a read and one that really got to me. This book had so much angst and packed such a punch that I was left with a book hangover.
All I can say is one click this duet ASAP.





Will I ever stop hurting the one person who’s never hurt me?

I’ve done things I can never undo.

No matter how much I wish I could, sometimes the wounds I inflict are too deep, too catastrophic, too septic to heal.

As I look into the eyes of the only man I’ve ever loved I know I’ve gone too far. I’ve finally crossed the line.

Even if he knew my reason for doing this, he’d never forgive me.

He always puts my needs before his own.

Now it’s my turn to protect him.

None of that matters though because the betrayal and disgust in his eyes comes from deep within his soul. There’s no coming back from this.

He will forever be tormented by what he’s seen, and he will never forgive me.

The last fragment of my heart to hold out hope that we’d share a future, withers and dies.
