Breeze of Life by Kirsty Dallas



BREEZE OF LIFE: 
KIRSTY DALLAS 



What a refreshing change in a book! Not a girl with supermodel looks, not an innocent 21 year old virgin, not a girl torn between two loves, not a Billionaire at 25....I loved it! Great book, and great message about living again and appreciating life even when you think the odds are stacked against you and there is no hope. This book was amazing and real and should we all be so lucky if we ever get sick to have someone love us enough to help us keep going when we just want to give up.

Breeze and Harper's love was one that definitely meant to be all along. I highly recommend this book and it deserves all 5 stars I am giving it. Fabulous job Kirsty!

Synopsis: Recommended for 17 years+. This book contains language which some may find offensive and sexual situations. Bree ‘Breeze’ Delany never imagined her life could sink so deep. That such intense pain could take up residence in her heart and shred her soul to pieces. And all it had taken was one little word to drag Bree to the depths of this despair, cancer. It took just one person to pull Bree from the darkness, her best friend Harper Somerville. Determined to show his Breeze the beauty in life no matter how short or long it is, Harper takes Bree on the road trip of a life time. Not only does Harper remind Bree how exciting and beautiful life is, but he also shows her a passion and love that she has only read about in her naughty romance novels. Screw happily ever afters, perhaps life was meant to be lived with happily ever nows…

Synopsis

Hiding behind the anguish from my past, my coyness seeps off of me like an aroma. I have felt like a stranger in my own skin, trying to claw my way out for far too long, allowing very few people to see past my façade…until my eyes met with his. I felt a sudden rush of energy all the way to my core. It jolted me in ways I never thought possible.

Never in a million years would I have expected to be in the mess I am today. It all leads back to the night Parker Porter turned my world upside down. The night his hazel eyes undressed me, peeling away the layers of the woman I tried so hard to be. He awoke desires that burned deep within me and changed me in one quick glance, leaving me vulnerable and exposed, picking up the shattered pieces of my carefully constructed life…a life I should not be living…a life I was not born into, but placed into by the state of Maine.

Parker opened a door that I am far from closing until I have answers and am able to face the life I was destined to live. I just have to decide if his love is worth the mess.

“They say be careful of the quiet ones.” –Grace

Warning: This book is intended for readers 18+ due to explicit language and sexual encounters.

Offf Course by Sawyer Bennett

            Off Course by Sawyer Bennett


I absolutely loved this book. It was a great read from page one. Cillian is a super hot Irish rockstar that shreds the panties of women everywhere....until he runs across Renner, who presents a challenge to him where no other woman ever has. She tell him no.......

Fast forward 5 years. Renner has basically exiled herself from the United States, getting away from anything and everything that will remind her of her bad break up and the loss of her job at Delta. Luckily, hiding out in Dublin with her Uncle and cousin are an option she accepts and soon finds out Cillian is still around, still an arrogant ass, and still thinks he can have whatever he wants. Renner rejects his every advance, even after he tells her he remembers their brief kiss five years prior and starts to wear down her resolve. 

Cillian does not give up so easily, but either does Renner's ex from New Jersey or Maeve, Cillian's bassist and ex-lover and soon the relationship with Renner and Cillian is tested.

This is Book 4 in the Off Series but can be read as a stand alone, which I loved because sometimes you find a book you love only to find out you need to read three or four others first to understand the premise of the one you want to read now. Awesome change there ;)

This was one of my favorite reads of the year. I was completely in love with the strength and maturity of Renner- she never compromised herself,  acted weak or whiny and she was everything you could hope for in a great female character. Cillian was also a great character, even when he needed a smack in the nuts and I am excited by the fact that (the final) Book 5 in this series with showcase Renner's brother Flynn, but also the continuation of the story between Renner and Cillian. Five star read, Sawyer Bennett. Well done! <3 Kellie

Spark by Brooke Cumberland



Spark by Brooke Cumberland

I wanted to kill Aiden, slap Alex, marry Eric, strangle and hug Vel and become BFFs with Riss. I loved this book so much- if Brooke knew me she would know she hit every fantasy in a BB for me with the Texas cowboy/firefighter/knight on a white horse/tattooed&pirced hottie. I do not like that it ended in a cliffhanger but I loved the story and will patiently wait for book two and pray for Aiden's demise. Lol! Five stars well deserved! <3 Kellie

Synopsis: When your past controls your future, how do you move forward?
Velaney Wills knows about that all too well. 
Weak, powerless, and fearing the one person who has hurt her the most…can she overcome the barriers to move forward?
Being saved by a muscled Godsend was never on her agenda, but when firefighter, Eric Reilley comes into her life unexpectedly, everything changes. 

Velaney has never felt loved or cared for, and her past prevents her from letting anyone in. Eric manages to break down her walls—despite the repercussions that come for them afterwards.

They have an undeniable spark—something she has never felt before, but will it be enough? Can love overcome all obstacles? Can they save each other to protect their love or will her past shatter everything she never knew she needed…?

**Spark is for mature audiences only – strong language, explicit sexual content, and sexual abuse are apparent.**

Saved By You by Kelly Harper

       Saved By You by Kelly Harper

Link: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kelly-Harper-Books/187867428023325

This book was a great way to tie up any loose ends that we were left with in Ruined by You. It started very slow and was quite frustrated at times by how long it was taking for the story to develop, but once it got good, I read the whole thing in a matter of hours- could not put it down! 

It was quite the tear-jerker and it was not the expected end people think is coming, although it probably is the one most of us reading hoped for. Highly recommended, five star read.

Oh, and I hope Kelly writes a book, or series, in the future about Sarah and Huck......*wink wink* <3 Kellie 

Synopsis: The exciting conclusion to Maggie & Haden's story, by Amazon's Coming of Age Bestselling author Kelly Harper.

Can one summer change your life?

One fateful night, Maggie’s life unravels before her eyes. While her mother is on her death bed, Maggie discovers a devastating secret kept by the man she loves. And it’s threatening to tear them apart.

Now Maggie’s left to pick up the pieces. She’s struggling to be the woman that her mother has raised while juggling the desires of her own heart. Secrets from her past surface — memories long locked away. And her world is rocked when she finds out that her mother has some secrets of her own.

Where do you turn when everything you thought you knew was a lie?

(New Adult Contemporary) **Mature Content** Recommended for ages 17+ due to sexual situations and language.

Travis by Nicole Edwards

TRAVIS BY NICOLE EDWARDS


This book is #3 in the Alluring Indulgence Series by Nicole and it is recommended that you read #1- Kaleb, and #2- Zane, before reading Travis, as you will miss the background and connection between the other Walker Brothers. If you do not read them, you will still love Travis. Everything Nicole writes is hotter than HOT but in the words of many readers and reviewers of this book, "just WOW". Here is Amy's review of Travis: Alluring Indulgence III by Nicole Edwards. <3 Kellie 

"WOW again. Now I loved Kaleb & Zane but by Christ Travis is freaking epic. Love the guy. Travis, Gage & Kylie are amazing together. I loved Gage in Kaleb but love him even more :) so happy they got their happy ending!! 

Awesome job Nicole. <3 Amy"  5-Star Review


        Synopsis:

Travis Walker, the oldest of the seven Walker brothers, has been referred to as moody and mysterious, and for the most part, he would agree. Until recently, he spent his days helping his brothers run the family business. Now, he dedicates his time and energy to building a resort, Alluring Indulgence, that caters to fetishes and fantasies. And despite his attempt to work himself into the ground, Travis has never denied – at least not to himself – that something is missing. 

Ten years ago, Travis made the hardest decision of his life, breaking his own heart in the process. A decade later, he is learning that life has a strange way of turning things upside down before placing the pieces exactly where they were meant to go?

Indestructible Desire by Danielle Jamie

Indestructible Desire 
by Danielle Jamie

Book Three in the 4 book Savannah Series, Indestructible Desire picks up where major cliffhanger in Inescapable Desire ends, and is a fabulous read- I was hooked from page one. Kayden Knox has been my #1 book boyfriend ever since I picked up Irresistible Desire several months ago- he is the complete package. Hot, rich, successful, a cowboy, completely romantic and a tattooed bad boy. I love him, literally. Lol! 

Savannah and Kayden's love affair in this book is something to behold- I will not give too much away for those who have not read the series, but you really need to read these books- they are worth it and you will completely fall in love with Mr. Knox too! 

The conclusion of this series is due out in October and I cannot wait to see how Danielle ends this great romance. She definitely makes you laugh, cry, scream and curse in this one- be prepared! Five Stars! <3 Kellie
