Moore To Lose by Julie Richman

Moore To Lose by Julie Richman

Moore to Lose sent me on a roller coaster of emotions! I loved the crazy ride and loved it from start to finish! 

In Moore to Lose we go back 24 years to revisit Mia's life that she was apart from Schooner. We see how Mia evolves into the woman she is today. I was so excited to get to go back and kind of relive those moments with Mia. It made me feel closer to her in a way. It helps you make sense of a lot of things as the story continues. 

Just when you think you have it all figured out! BAM! Julie has you shaking your head and saying WTH? Did that just happen? I was clutching my kindle so tight! Grab your tissues because you will need them! My heart broke for Mia but she showed us how she overcame a lot of the horrible things that happened to her.

I give Moore To Lose 5 stars!! It was a beautiful crazy ride and I loved every minute of it! Thank you Julie for such an amazing story and for the wonderful characters that touch our hearts! If you haven't already start this series today. You won't be sorry! <3 Carrie

                       Review:This was a raunchy, bad girl read. Lol! 74 

pages of naughty escapades and a girl that just did not give a damn. I loved it. It reminded me of reading Kendall Grey's series about Letty Dillinger- strong woman who gets and gives as good as it gets. You cannot be a weak hearted prude and girl on girl action can't turn you off or you may not enjoy this read as much as I did. V was a special kind of hotness and I liked reading about her in this novella. Great job KP, you know I am a huge fan my sister! <3 Kellie 

Synopsis:The name's V. I'm beautiful in every sense of the word physically. But on the inside, I'm a black pit. If you're expecting a happily ever after, a white picket fence and 2.5 kids; then this isn't the story for you. There aren't any happily ever afters in the works for me or those whose lives I poison. I hold the key to my pleasure and I'll be damned if I ever give it up again.

God forsake those that stand in my way of ultimate gratification. You may regret me, but you'll never forget me. Use or Be Used, there are no other options.

** Warning ** 18 years and up for adult situations, language, sexual content, and violence. * This story contains dirty words, dirty sex and an even dirtier twist. **

"Did you ever love me? Did you ever mean it? <----- omg that poor sweet baby!! That tugged my heart! 

"Well, you don't have a girlfriend, and because Jesus loves me, neither do I, so I figure we'll hit K together. Pick up a few honeys for the night, whatever." <--LOL! I bet you can guess who said that! Love him!

Worth the Fight by Vi Keeland

Worth the Fight by Vi Keeland

Review: I loved Worth the Fight what a wonderful story! I couldn't put it down once I started it. 

We meet Elle a lawyer just living a normal life. She is seeing William at the beginning of the story. William is a handsome man, never complains but he's just so predictable. I could see right away Elle wanted much more. As nice as William is he would be the safe choice for Elle and she wanted much more. 

Elle is just going through her everyday life when in walks Nicholas Hunter who we soon find out is Nico "The Lady Killer" Hunter a MMA fighter and one HOT hunk of a man! Tan, green eyes, strong and did I mention he drives a motorcycle? <----OMG! Love him! 

Nico ask Elle to help him out of a contract he is in because he doesn't believe in child labor so he wants out of it. Elle can't help but take notice how good of a man Nico seems right from the start. She is attracted to him but try's to fight it at first. Finally Nico comes back and ask Elle out to dinner, and after that things to evolve. I loved the instant connection these two had. It was hot! 

We go on a roller coaster with these two. Elle fighting her past and Nico sorting out some of his own demons. Will these two help each other through the pain? Can Elle let down those walls she built so long ago? Read Worth The Fight to find out. I loved it! I don't like giving too much away, but I can say this is worth reading! 

I give Worth The Fight 5 stars! It had me on the edge of my seat wanting more. Grab a few tissues as well. What a beautiful story of two people putting back together their broken hearts. I loved it from start to finish!  <3 Carrie

Synopsis: It didn’t matter that the ref called it a clean hit. Nico Hunter would never be the same. 

Elle has a good life. A job she loves, a great apartment, and the guy she’s been dating for more than two years is a catch and a half. But it’s boring…and she strives to keep it that way. Too many emotions are dangerous. Her own past is living proof of what can happen when you lose control.

Then Nico walks into Elle’s office and everything changes…for both of them. But what can the tattooed, hard-bodied MMA fighter and the beautiful and always steady attorney have in common? A lot more than they bargained for.

Holding Onto You by S. Moose

Holding Onto You by S. Moose

(NEVER LETTING GO #2)

AUTHOR: S. MOOSE

RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 20, 2013

GENRE: CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE

TYPE: NOVELLA

REVIEW

I liked this novella so much because it was from Adam's POV. So many times when we are reading a book, since they are almost always from the female's perspective, we end up wondering the entire time "what is he thinking?" and this time we got to see just that. Adam's love for Sophie is so pure and real that is breaks your heart reading it, knowing that they are apart when they so obviously belong together. This also gave me a great appreciation for Sophia that was lacking in Reaching Out For You because she annoyed the crap out of me! As I told S., this novella made me like Reaching Out for You a lot more than I did when I read it, because of the insight and background you get here that you did not in that. Great read- highly recommend. <3 Kellie

SYNOPSIS

Losing my best friend was the worst feeling in the world. I always wondered what she was doing and how she was doing but I never went after her. I never took the time to find out how she was doing and that broke my heart into a million pieces. Not only did I lose my best friend but I lost the love of my life.

Now, four years later, I am back in North Carolina and find myself longing to see her smile and feel her touch. 

One day, she finally sees me and our eyes connect. The connection is still there. She can still make me weak at the knees and she still holds my heart and soul.

Things are different. She is dating my teammate Kyle and I hate him. Not for dating my Sophia but for being the worst person imaginable. But I vow to make her mine again. Welcome to my mind and life. My story about finally seeing Sophia again and how I will always be holding onto her.

EXCERPT

----That night I tossed uneasily in bed. I was alone and Kennedy was out with her friends. I sat up on my bed and rubbed my eyes. I never realized how much Sophia meant to me until now. Fate was an ugly and evil bitch. Why did either of us deserve this feeling? I knew it was selfish to still hold on to the past, but I hoped every day when my phone rang or vibrated that it’d be her. There were so many time I sat in my car and thought about driving back to North Carolina. I wanted to drop everything and go back to the girl who stole my heart when we were babies. The girl that understood me and made me weak with just one look in her eyes. There was an invisible force holding me back and I couldn’t break through. I missed her everyday and hoped that our paths would cross again. She was everywhere; I felt her everywhere.

Desperation of Love by Alice Montalvo-Tribue

Desperation of Love by Alice Montalvo-Tribue

Amy's Review: I was gifted this book & I'm so glad I was. I love Victor & Ellie's story but Alex & Jordan's story was simply epic. 

It was clear from the beginning that there was a connection between them even if Jordan didn't wasn't to face her feelings. I loved how Alex just planted himself in her life. :-) it was nice to see her feelings grow for Alex even though she knew her fears would get in the way. Their relationship grew strong & love was the end result. Through the huge ups & downs that threatened to destroy their relationship, they overcame it & Jordan got her happy ending. <3 Amy

Synopsis: To the outside world, Jordan Burke appears to have the perfect life. A fulfilling career, family and great friends, but looks can be deceiving.

When his brother gives up his career to settle down, Alex is forced to reevaluate his life plans too. Over the past year, his friendship with Jordan has developed into a source of comfort. Now that he has the time to devote to a relationship, can he convince her to take a chance on love or will their painful pasts and a tragic event destroy their future?
