Review: Chasing Allie

Review: Chasing Allie by Meli Raine
Product Details
Description:
It turns out my stepfather has plans for me. Plans that make dying look like a walk in the park. He’s selling my virginity to a Mexican drug lord to get out of debt. Chase just found out and is here to take me away to safety. To the ocean. To my dreams. But while I’m gone, a murder takes place back home. I receive a phone call. It’s the police. I’m the prime suspect. And if I go back, I may become the prime victim. They say love conquers all, but can Chase save me from this?

My Thoughts:
UGH!!! I will tell you this right now. Why do I keep getting caught up in books that end in cliff hangers?! This one leaves you wanting to throw your reading device across the room while reaching into the story and smacking Chase!!

Okay so when we ended Finding Allie we were all saying WHAT?!?! Well, thankfully that gets answered almost right away in the book. However, it takes a little while before you get ALL the answers.

Allie finally finds her backbone during the book and for once appears to be really happy in her life. Then it all comes crashing down. You knew that was gonna happen. :)

Chase seems to always be right there for Allie. Making her dreams all come true, yet he is keeping secrets from her. He has you wondering if he is just too good to be true.

And then the book ends and I will repeat I am lucky that I didn't throw my tablet!! I need book 3 because I can't believe how book 2 ended!

Review Finding Allie

Review: Finding Allie by Meli Raine
Product Details
Description:
Chase Halloway’s father is the president of Atlas, the drug dealing motorcycle gang that terrorizes most of our desert town. My stepfather turns out to be a rival drug dealer, and I’m pretty sure he killed my mom two years ago. I’m not supposed to fall in love with Chase. He’s not supposed to know I even exist. But when he finds me, he can’t let go. And when I find myself in his arms? I hold tight. I have to. Because if I don’t, I might just die. With or without him.

My Thoughts:
First of all I was given the pleasure of reading this book as an ARC in exchange for my review. This was not a hardship at all.  :)

Allie Boden has a very simple life. Boring, but simple. She has big plans, save her money that she gets working at her stepfather's bar and get to LA to live with her sister. She just didn't anticipate Chase Halloway in her simple plans.

Chase Halloway's life is all planned out for him. Become Vice President of his father's motorcycle gang, Atlas and then become the leader in the future. That was before he walked in to Allie's stepfather's bar and laid eyes on her.

With everyone against them being together is there anyway for the two of them to beat the odds?

This book starts out a little slow, but there is plenty of things that has you asking questions about the characters and why they do things. Immediately you fall for Chase in how he is so protective of Allie. However, do not read this book without having book 2 available to read because it leaves you hanging. It isn't a major cliff hanger, but it does leave you saying WHAT?!?!

Miami Hush Club: Book 1 By Michelle Warren
Ten years ago
The moment playing out before my eyes is ripe with irony.
My boyfriend is having sex, but not with me. Even though we run a wildly successful escort service together, I expected Casper to be faithful. What a lovesick fool I was. Instead, it’s me who’s being fucked as I helplessly watch my sister and best escort, Alex, sit atop Casper’s dick, enthusiastically riding him into next week.
At first I’m frozen in shock, so the situation crashing down on me is momentarily unfathomable. In some ways, it’s a nightmare that makes no sense.
My heart stops, collapsing in my chest and sinking into my gut as I desperately try to hold myself upright. Or maybe those are my malfunctioning lungs, unable to inhale the thickness of betrayal-laced air. Either way, it’s only my vision that continues working. My eyes soak up all the information, piecing together fragments of incomprehensible images as my brain tries to catch up.
Casper and Alex don’t even realize I’m here watching them because they’re too caught up in screwing to the rhythmic beat of the blaring music that’s making the condo’s walls vibrate. Still, the music isn’t enough to drown out their escalating moans of pleasure.
I want to break out of this hell but I’m mesmerized, watching his hands grip the curve of her hips, his fingertips sinking into her soft flesh, and his muscular arms flexing as they lift her body effortlessly, controlling the speed of their wild and ferocious coupling. Rising up, he takes her breast in his mouth and then drags his tongue along her collarbone, right before their lips connect feverishly.
It’s at that moment that I realize that this is more than a mindless fuck session, because Alex never kisses her clients. Ever.
They’re together.
At this new understanding, my gut roils as my brain kicks in and attempts to process this. How long has this been going on? Why would the two people I love most do this to me?
But the need for answers is quickly overcome by the surge of intense fury shooting back to my heart, delivering a jolt of electricity, jump-starting it in erratic beats. Now it’s exploding with a dangerous concoction of emotions—rejection, sadness, doubt.
And anger. Lots and lots of anger.
As if my body can’t take the boiling volatile mixture, my hands begin to shake, my muscles convulse, and finally I erupt, releasing a strangled scream.

Review: The Vigilante's Lover Vol. 1

The Vigilante's Lover Volume 1 by Annie Winters
The Vigilante's Lover
Description:
Mia trembles as she reads the letter that arrives from Ridley Prison. 

Seduction. Rope ties. Descriptions of things Mia has never experienced or known. 

The man’s words are desperately passionate. He longs for a woman who must have given him a fake address. Mia’s address. 

She plans to send the letter back. He’s a convicted felon. 

But his words gnaw at her. She’s never done anything dangerous. And no man has ever talked to her like this. 

So Mia writes him, pretending to be the woman he desires. 

It's her one dark thrill in her dull, solitary small-town life. 

The man is in prison for another fifteen years. 

It's harmless. She is safe enough. 

Until he escapes.


My Thoughts:
Please fasten your seat belts and keep your arms inside the book at all times because you are about to set forth on a roller coaster ride of excitement. Annie Winters grabs your attention from the start of this book and then leaves you hanging by your fingertips on the final page. That's right its a cliff hanger book. In fact this book is part of a series of I think 4 books and knowing how Annie writes every single one of these will leave you hanging until the final book.

If you read the Fight for Her series by JJ Knight then the name Jax will be familiar to you. Jax was one of the "mystery" men that came to help get Maddie away from Striker when he kidnapped her.  If you thought he was a mystery then, just wait!!

Mia Morrow isn't a spy. She isn't a secret agent. She isn't much of anything. She came home to care for her aunt who recently died and now is living in her home trying to decide what she wants to do with her life. Then she finds the letters. She gets brave and decides to reply to the writer and that begins her nightmare or adventure depending upon how you want to look at it. The only thing she knows is that her life will never be the same.

Jax De Luca as been screwed over. He sits in jail and he isn't supposed to be there. Not that it will keep him there for long.  He is a member of an exclusive group called the Vigilante's and is on a mission. To find his friend Klaus. He started getting letters from him, but they made no sense. Now to get out and see what's happening.

Jax and Mia lead us on an exciting journey that leaves you longing for more Jax and curious as to if they are going to fall for one another. Just when you start to think they will the book ends!! UGH! :) I am anxiously waiting for the next part and I'm sure you will be too!!
