Chances Series, Book 2

Falling for Satan

Have you ever walked in a room and snarled, at the sexy motherfucker that pissed you off just by his mere presence? I mean, the moment he opened his mouth nothing but dirty vulgarity comes out and…

Oh wait, that’s how things were when I met my hubby…

Back to what I was saying, sometimes the first impression from hell can have a way of turning you on. 

OMG, Rose Devereux slays naughtiness on a platter that keeps you begging for more in her novel, Breaking Grace.

Devereux did a great job with the development of the characters.  As the reader takes a walk in the world of Grace, it is easily detected that her past life has a way of weighing on her: leaving Grace a mess. Not to mention this guy adds to her recipe of a cantankerous life. 

She has a temper from hell and only a demon can tame her ass to facing her childhood past,  which haunts her. 

The psychology the author presents among the character of Grace and Bram's interpersonal relationship is most convincing. As the reader grows to love to hate, and need Bram as a master mind, the reader might even think he/she is being lifted to another space. 

I was in awe with the writer’s skill set of illustrating how distance can play on your mind. This guy wanted her and he did everything he knew to break her down to desire every aspect of him.  

All responsibilities Were Put Off :From the intense back ground of Grace my attention would not peel away from the pages. I must say this was a perfect book to sit, read, and abandon all of reality.

What got me the most was Bram.  He was a guy presented for me to detest. I mean he was a KILLER for crying out loud. Sexy...but a killer, so we are told. 

Well, society teaches us to hate murderers but somehow the tables turn and when they do 'you so want to be there.' Trust me; you want to check this book out.

Grace is a brat within reason…her tantrums causes the reader to want to slap her but you have to understand this is an unstable girl. She feels like the left over’s you get when everyone else had their choice, she’s what is left over. 

After Bram has explored Grace's mental and emotional factors to subdue her in the palm of his hands, finally these two go at it and she gets...well you know Bram's thick d***.

It's as if all things seem to make sense. Now, I don't know how you respond to a great dosage of D-Quil; but let's face it, the afterglow of Grace following sex will have you like 'DAMN,' he must really have that good...

Well you can conclude for yourself, just make sure to grab a bottle of your favorite drink, unwind, and read Breaking Grace. I promise you it’s a read you will not regret!

Choosing The Lesser Evil

Entering Blaire’s world at once began dark, but that’s not what kept my attention. It was the author’s skill set of writing. Anita Gray’s Blaire from the Dark Romance Series is a special treat.

This is an action pack story keeps your adrenaline going.

I adore Blaire as a fighter and she is not the typical, ‘I need a man to save me type of chick.’ She’s skilled with computers and disciplined with her emotions…well up until the point of her world changing once Charlie steps on the scene.

Blaire is the female bad ass you cheer on from the beginning yet you have a weak spot for her deficiency to see her worth. Many women have experienced not knowing how great they are without the likes of a guy to justify their brilliance.  This is what makes her relatable. 

Meeting her knight is hostile. The tension between Charlie and Blaire is thick.

It’s more like being on a roller coaster you want to get on but it makes you sick. But, you get back in line because you can’t resist the thrill.

Once the levee of tension breaks, it’s pretty hard to not fall deeper for Charlie. Sure he’s cantankerous but he has a heart of gold for Blaire. Who can refuse a guy that will destroy all in his path for the love of his life?

Several things the author presented in the story:

Blaire was a Lady

Blaire could see a bit of good in everyone because of her heart.

She was a beautiful female whom isolated her beauty using it merely as a weapon.

Blaire was a Shero

She was extremely skillful, intelligent and knew how to protect herself. Blaire didn’t doubt she’d kick your ass. There is more but you go ahead and read on to find out…

What the author did which sent me on a roller coaster of rage?👿 

Gray created a fabulous display of a virgin. OMG! I promise you she had my ass recalling my virginity. I was like…yeah I remember when I thought 'no, no, no to anything entering down below.' Well that time has passed.

If Gray had me salivate after Charlie’s sexy ass on more time…ugh!

I wanted to bend Blaire’s ass over and demand she fucks Charlie. I’m just saying... it’s only so much resisting a girl can handle.



I know one thing…had Blaire had a BFF her virginity would have been lost long ago. I’m just saying it’s a feeling!

Finally, Gray had me wanting to slap her ass. Yes, she did!😩

There’s a scene…first of all it’s an author’s job to make the reader feel. 👏🏼👏🏼

Yes, yes, applauds, applauds for making me feel; yet, by the time I got to this scene. 

You can’t possibly think I will tell you all the details. Brace yourself and read the book because it’s worth every emotion that Gray evokes upon you as you read. Back to this scene in 'Seven Oaks’ (you will know when you get there). By this time, I was sexually frustrated, heartbroken, ready to kill and a pre-rescue shows up only to be snatched away.

Fuck yeah, it’s was such a rush but I promise you I enjoyed every jerk reaction Gray presented in this novel.

I did not want the story to end (Yes, I purchased the behind the scenes of Charlie’s view). If you think you can handle intense, twisted, dark reads, sprinkled with steamy scenes on top, then your next read is Blaire: Part 1 in the Dark Romance Series.

Inappropriate Southern Hospitality

When I was a younger, this show came on television and the one thing that grabbed my attention was these ‘good ol’ boys' with sexy cars, up to no good.

If you enjoy stories with a southern hospitality twist and a bit of naughty fun Unwelcomed Greeting by Savannah Maris has a tale to tell you.  The characters in the story include Mitchell Riverton. He reminds me of a TV version of Bo… if I say any more I am sure you will know but anyway.

Mitchell is in love with Makayla ‘Mak’ Gregory and will protect her at any cost.

If you like a man to take charge Mitchell is the perfect fit for your next book boyfriend!

Mak is in love with Mitchell but left their hometown five years ago to explore her life.  All that changed the day she got a phone call to return to her parents because of crooks in town attempting to force them off their land. But, when Mak comes to town and reconnects with the love of her life… these bullies are in for a surprise.

Mitchell and his brother Evan find themselves in an escapade with the town’s nemesis.  By the way,
Evan makes me think of a guy from a show that went by the name Luke. What can I say: these are the images that pop up in my head as I read of people coming to corrupt this small town.

It’s doesn’t take long to get into the love story because the chemistry upon these two are undeniable. Which caused me to recall my son asking me if high school sweethearts can still fall in love and get married?

Well let’s say if he wasn’t so young, I'd suggest him reading this book because it’s a beautiful fairy tale people are still falling for. Of course, he needs to be at least 18 years old in my house to read this book. Why do you ask? BAAAAAABY the sex scenes in this novel, will have you purring between the legs.  I’m just saying this work of fiction defiantly flares stimulating feelings.

One of my favorite scenes includes strawberries, handcuffs and blind folds… I am sure you get the picture.

Anyway… the great news is the steamy fun continues in the next book Unfinished Business. Perhaps, you can come back to read my thoughts of that story. Until then, check out more in one click below!

Pipe Dreams of a Stupid Chick

Don’t be so quick to judge because you might be the thirsty chick reading this. So, what exactly is a thirsty chick? You know the desperate woman with no sight to morals, lost perception, emotionally unbalanced and confused as to what love is and what love is not. Typically, a thirsty chick's mind plays tricks on her, as to what life is. The only result for such chick all ends in reckless decisions. In the novel Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough Celine fits the perfect description… but somehow you can’t help but feel sorry for her. Damn… damn… damn.

How can you determine if a chick is thirsty?

She’s available… leaving no room for the chase:

It seems as if thirsty for a man is an understatement for Celine. The opening of the story grabs the reader by learning Louis bumps off people when things don’t go his way.

Yes, I said it right he is a murderer; keep  following because this is exactly what the nuisance Celine does to stand by her man. She thinks…'He came to me and asked me to follow him for a new start in life.’ 

Did the fact that he is wanted by the police just fly over your head? No, he does not love you… this dude has gone through all of his choices and you are the last one willing to remain available for his bullshit.

She follows him… her priorities are beyond from being out of whack. I promise you while you are over there judging Celine, you can think of a chick that defends her man no matter what.  

You would think because of how furious I became with Celine for following this dude I would shut the book… but nope. I continued reading because now, 'I am hooked.'  I am in a sunken place and I am yelling at the author because if she takes me on one more turn...It's On. Trust me there are more turns for every way, in this page turner.

She drops her standards… to have not a good man, but any man:

Back to the story… How does she neglect the fact 'Louis is a murderer?' Does the thought cross Celine's mind or is it safe to say she is stupid in love with a guy that is on the run? Maybe we can just post a stamp on her forehead, this girl is STUPID. But let’s face it, more than likely this type of chic cannot tell you her standards for a man… let alone standards for herself. I know, you know someone like this… don’t trip.

She doesn’t know who she is, so she keeps looking for a dude to validate her.

Remember the female you told she was so pretty and you have no clue, 'why she keeps putting up with her dude.' If you take a look at this girl Celine… you will understand that the female you are talking to has a brain and nothing is working at the moment. In the story, Celine’s complete logic is

missing. 

Did the fact that he is wanted by the police just fly over her head?In her brain, she believes she holds the power because she knows what he has done. She helps him escape with the understanding that she is in charge.  Wait what the…

I should really stop reading; I promise you I don’t like stupid chicks. But I didn’t stop...I want a better result for Celine. I want her ass to wake up…but she only wakes up to keep following this dude. By the way, I can’t stand her dude. He is a murderer and he treats Celine like shit. As I hard blink reading this toxic love story…yes I continued to read. While ranting in my head at the author hoping there is a twist for her as to ‘Wake Up.’ OMG, this chick stayed faithfully stupid throughout the story and I became the author’s thirsty reader.  

I hate myself for it, but I have to admit…I wanted something steamy. Instead, it was a dangerous ride with twists and turns that hooked me, I could not resist. If you are looking to read a story to help you identify if you are a thirsty chick or just want a heart racing read, check out Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough by Erica Franklin Carter.

A Whimsical Escape 'Under Winter Lights’ by Bree Lewandowski Review

If you are seeking a story to read and nestle under the cover and lay upon a fire…forget ‘Under Winter Lights.’

I mean if you had plans to kick back and escape life as you know it, head to Chicago to face the cold breeze upon your face while soaking into the world revolving around a ballet dancer, totally digress from the thought of reading this book by Bree Lewandowski.

The inauguration of this story begins with a young lady determined to be a dancer. Her entire life centers on her career that she has worked tremendously hard to attain as a ballet dancer. The imagery of this book is classic. The author captured the scenery and movement of the characters in a whimsical manner.

Walking with the character as the wind whisked around her face, made me  brisk in the intense cold air along the journey of Martina. In my imagination of course...It's August in Georgia for me, there is nothing cold around these parts at this time. 

Another favorite aspect... The moment she gets the news she’s been waiting to hear regarding her audition, reminded me of a start stun person. 

The details outlined to take in the depths of the characters thoughts, movements and surrounding was the art of brush strokes in print formation.

The love story between Martina and Maraav is hidden a bit by the highlights of Martina. However, the development of the characters set you up for a fascinating tale. Which I hope to discover more in the sequel 'Under Midnight Lights.'

I have to admit I did get a bit protective of Martina as she came face to face with the director Alan Jung. I might have mentally strangled him a few times but it was perfect for my imagination because of how the story unfolds…yeah you have to read it for yourself. 

Just note...this story reminds you life itself is a test...how well you do is up to you!

What…did you really expect me to give you all the details? Be sure to plan a date of relaxing under the fire by the moon light to read ‘Under Winter Lights.’ It's a magical escape!

Is He Ready...For A Woman Like Me? Book Review Irreplaceable Ava L.Woods

I saw this post by this lady and she was celebrating finding new love but then maybe six or eight months later all things went south. Many relationships start and finish in a flash. I carried on and decided I'd start a new book. Yes, I love to read!!!

By chance, I came across this story by Ava Lynn Wood. It made me think of one of my favorite shows, Sweet Home Alabama. Although the story line is different, it had a sweet magical touch of love as Sweet Home Alabama in my opinion.

This story starts of with a young lady that's experienced her first heartache which devastated  early in life. She leaves home or what one might say 'the familiar' to start new.  Only when she get's up to go she walks in to more heartache. It only took her eight years of marriage to discover the pain that involves a chick her husband hired. Positioning her to be" reduced to strangers sharing a home." Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can imagine but you can read the book 'Irreplaceable' for more details.

Let's just say..."When your husband tells you he hired the new chick because he was trying something new" take heed to what the so called 'new' level is.

Perhaps, this sounds like some preparation to explore new ground...I'm just saying. But you tell me, is it cheating if plans are just made to cheat? Typically, once you discover the lie...you start storing your own secrets. However, in this story, Anna left town with a secret.



Immediately, I knew the secret Anna was withholding from Will. It just made sense, but it was one of those things like I know, I know the answer but I am going to keep reading to confirm what I know is correct (if that makes any sense).

One of my favorite lines, “I tried to bottle you.” This captured his longing for her on a deep level and it was one of the most romantic lines I’d read in a while. I read it several times as my heart caved in at the words.

It was nice to see a man long for a woman the way that he longed for her. I appreciated reading and imagining that aspect.

My Dislikes: Many women believe they are not a success, and wish they had a relationship. Having this state of mind typically ends up in more drama. In the story, I disliked that Anna was apologizing often. I wished she did not think of herself as a failure; nonetheless, I could actually understand the role of her not feeling accomplished. Which is how she ran straight to more drama…she packaged her heartache without resolving it. Of course, Anna (like so many women) thought she was headed to safety. But unfortunately, not unpacking a broken heart will make you lose a sense of power and sense of accomplishment.

What if ?: Running away should not be our first game plan. If, we know we have feelings for someone and it doesn't work out why do we want to leave first? Sometimes we really don't need to be in a relationship. Why? Neither one of you are mature for the demands put on the relationship. 

Let's be blunt, sometimes a guy is not going to know how to appreciate you. Plus, his brain is still developing. Let's be serious a child's brain takes 25 years to fully develop.  Not all people understand this. That's why at 38 he seems like a different guy...He is...his brain is more developed. In the story, Anna got back in touch with a  person from her past. 

They both had to grow up to be ready for the woman/man they grew to be.   I enjoyed the story line of the story which is very important to me as a reader. Experiencing their sex encounters was a plus. I was most captured with the story line and creative approach of grabbing family life in the midst of a relationship. Awesome story and great read!
