REVIEW :: ONCE UPON A POWER PLAY BE JENNIFER BONDS


Once Upon a Power PlayOnce Upon a Power Play by Jennifer Bonds
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a spectacular book this was!!

It’s funny, sexy, sweet, etc. It makes your heart beat faster and at the same time, laugh like there is no tomorrow!

There are so many things I loved about this book!

First of all, I haven’t read a better beginning of a novel in a very long time. It just draws your attention like nothing else matters other than this book. The suspense, the humor, the banter, oh my God…

Second of all, the characters...But most of all, their chemistry. They push each other’s limits, they challenge each other, they bring the better version of themselves when they’re together. It was amazing!

I seriously and honestly adored their relationship and its evolution.

Chloe didn’t want a commitment for various reasons, and I can’t say that I blame her based on what she had to face. But Ryan decided he wanted more. And here comes the part I really, really liked. There was no macho, overbearing “I say we’re together, the girl accepts it, and game over”. They had a conversation -brief- and Ryan simply spoke the truth, his truth. And Chloe accepted it, because she accepted him, them together. They showed emotion and maturity that I don’t see very often. Their relationship evolved so realistically, so beautifully, so effortlessly that it made the book so much greater.

This book is about a true, real romance born in fairytale world and raised in the real one.

There is nothing I would change, nothing more I could have wished for. In fact, it surpassed any expectations I had about this.

I strongly recommend this book. Humor. Romance. Heat. Drama. Betrayal. Emotion. Once upon a Power Play has it all, and I feel very proud to present you this amazing novel.

Once upon a Power Play by Jennifer Bonds receives 5 Amazing Stars, because it is fantastic and truly magnificent!!

REVIEW :: LOST IN TENNESSEE BY ANITA DEVITO


Lost in TennesseeLost in Tennessee by Anita DeVito
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lost in Tennessee quickly became one of my favorite books of all time. I was about 30% in it, and I already knew this was a 10 Star novel, and it never failed me.

The story drew from the first page, while the last one had me begging for more.

It’s also the debut of the author, which only elevates my amazement. The author has endless talent, and I am looking forward to reading more from her, and needless to say, more books in this series.

Lost in Tennessee has exceptional characters, amusing as hell dialogues, witty humor, and above all, a unique storyline.

Kate is such a strong woman. She pushes forward, she withdraws. She makes mistakes, she owns up to them. She gets screwed over, better be safe. She loves with a fierce passion, and she evokes the same from everyone who knows her, whether it is on a romantic, friendly, or professional level. She is literally the perfect woman, not because she isn’t imperfect. But because she is the perfect heroine and the perfect representation of the modern woman from her inner conflicts, family issues, to work and relationships.

I absolutely adored Kate!!

Butch...Oh, my. He is an amazing character for so many reasons. First of all, he is not the typical manwhore, which was a surprise and a huge positive one. He has a big heart and is always willing to help others. He is successful, yes, but doesn’t flaunt it. He is rich but again, he isn’t a show-off. Butch as a character surpassed my expectations; he actually incinerated them.

I fell and felt for Butch from the very first moment, and there’s no woman out there who will not adore him!!

Oh, the humor. Kate and Tom were outrageously funny together. They have that banter that you keep on rereading all the time, because you can’t get enough. But, then again, Kate is spectacular and has this way that...NO. I’m not saying anything more. You must grab the book and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Like I said, above all, Lost in Tennessee has a unique storyline. It is more than a girl gets lost, meets the music star, they fall in love and have crazy sex all the time. The author lets us see the evolution of their relationship. From strangers, to friends who begin to see each other differently. I LOVED THAT!! Yes, there are steamy scenes, but the book is so much more than that. We watch their journey thrive on amazing writing and quality. There is nothing better and more satisfying than seeing that journey, and this one was exceptional.

I have no words to describe to you how much I loved this book. It has everything I crave and everything a reader will appreciate in a book.

Witty comebacks.
Wicked humor.
Mesmerizing romance.
Outstanding characters.
Unique storyline.

Lost in Tennessee by Anita DeVito receives INFINITY of stars, because one can only get lost in this novel and will never want to return from it.

REVIEW :: LOST HEARTBEATS (ALEXANDER & MAYA #2) BY ELLA MAISE


Lost Heartbeats (Alexander & Maya, #2)Lost Heartbeats by Ella Maise
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a beautiful and emotional story this is.

I loved Lost Prelude, the first book in the series, and I couldn’t wait for the author to write the next one.


And Ella Maise does not disappoint.

Lost Heartbeats is not an intensified version of Lost Prelude. That would be me undermining the first book. They are both emotional, intense, and. . .

This series is simply one of my favorites and one of the best I’ve read.

Alexander and Maya’s story is a truly beautiful one and one exceptionally written.

Ella Maise has delivered a magnificent love-story that goes beyond romance. It speaks of an epic love that goes beyond borders, beyond grief, and beyond everything, even themselves.

As an avid reader, both you and I know there are thousands of other books, especially romance and even erotica. BUT THIS STORY is worth-reading. THIS STORY must be read.

Alexander and Maya’s relationship survives one storm after the other. Both of them are struggling with grief, which does a comeback and almost brings them to their knees.

One of the many things I loved about this book is that both of them hold on to each other. They fight for each other. And they empower each other. When Alexander is down, Maya brings light back to his heart. When Maya is in the dark, Alexander does not give up. He stays and fights. He doesn’t let go.

They have this magnetizing bond that is indescribable. It has a life of its own that leaves the pages and become something more.

The author’s writing is beautiful, with quality, and the books reflect that. Each book is remarkable and gives you that extra-something that makes you connect with the characters. That makes you care.

This isn’t a simple story with steamy scenes. This is an epic love-story that has it all. Love. Laughter. Tears. Drama. Grief. Hope.

If you haven’t read this series yet, I strongly recommend it from the bottom of my heart.

It’s an outstanding series, and it’s only the beginning for the author.

Congratulations to the author for this one! It couldn’t be better! And I couldn’t love it any more than I do.

LOST HEARTBEATS receives 5 AMAZING STARS, because it just is exceptional.

NOTE:
Did you see that cover? Oh my...

REVIEW :: LONDON BOUND (LONDON LOVERS #3) BY AMY DAWS


London Bound (London Lovers Series, #3)London Bound by Amy Daws
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

London Bound is a delightful, deliriously funny, and sexy novel.

It’s one of those books you will re-read for those funny as hell lines and those extra-spicy scenes.


I loved the fact that the characters had a solid background behind them. That they had depth.

I also enjoyed how different it was. From Theo’s glasses to the ridiculous cleanse. Even their jobs were original. I am a sucker for originality, and this book had it in spades! London Bound has one of the most original and unique stories I’ve ever read, and I loved the book for it!

It’s a great read, but it could be really-really great.

The characters had solid backgrounds and tragic pasts. We delved into serious matters, like grief and abuse, but I felt like we focused more on Theo’s past and we didn’t give the attention Leslie’s past had. She has serious confidence issues due to her family, and it was painfully clear from the beginning and throughout the book. There were few scenes where she crumbled and emotions ran high. But I wanted more. I needed more depth, more attention not only to what happened to her, but also the consequences it had on her. Her confidence issues stem from somewhere, and I felt we just didn’t touch the core of her problems. Serious incidents leave an impact on us, and not just on our behavior toward others. It affects how we see ourselves. We didn’t touch that aspect. The book concentrated more on Theo’s past, and to be honest, it was little more tragic. And I loved how the author approached it. I loved Leslie’s responses. So I expected something similarly great to be applied to Leslie’s situation. And I didn’t see it.

Also, there were parts in the book that could be cut. Parts that didn’t contribute to the depth of the story. In my opinion, always. They were entertaining, but when something significant is missing entertaining parts come second.

However, London Bound is a pure delight. I laughed my ass off. It’s definitely one of the most amusing books I’ve ever read.

I will definitely re-read it. I actually re-read some of the best scenes, right before writing this review. I couldn’t help myself.

It combined seriousness with humor. Love with sexy scenes in a spectacular package.

It’s original. Sexy. Adorable. Funny. A must-read!

I certainly recommend this one!! I can’t wait to read more from this author. I have a good feeling about her!

London Bound receives 4.5 Gorgeous Stars!!!

*** You can buy it on Amazon!!***
