The Darkest Sunrise by
Aly Martinez
My rating:
5 of 5 stars
5 no faking it stars!
There is nothing heartbreaking than losing your own child, and there is nothing better than love and support to heal your wounds and give you the hope to survive.
I read The Darkest Sunrise three days before I miscarried.
So, yeah! It is hard to lose your baby but as much as it is painful and heartbreaking, when you have someone to hold your hand, the pain becomes bearable.
I know that people may think I'm a weirdo because instead of mourning my baby I'm writing a review, but there are things in life that make the pain go away and reading is one of them.
Aly Martinez, I know that in the Brightest Sunrise you'll make things right and when I'm ready I will read it and see the happily ever after I wasn't lucky to have.

5 of 5 stars
It's been a great year where I discovered new authors, made new friends and experienced so many sad, happy and beautiful things.
Reading has always been one of my greatest pleasures. In here I'm going to list the books that were so close to my heart, though it's so hard to choose because most of books were great journeys.
ROYALLY MATCHED
“I want to change the world with you at my side, holding your hand. I love you, Sarah, and whatever happens, I promise there won’t be a day that I don’t love you with all that I am.”
My review
BEFORE I EVER MET YOU
“Love just makes everything else in life easier to bear. It’s like having an army on your side. But love itself isn’t easy. Most people have to fight for it, they fight to keep it. Love is a war, and half the time you’re battling your own fucking self.”
My review
SINGE
“Love rarely makes a man smile. Especially if said man is me and he has to deal with a crazy woman like you. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t burn the world down for you. Extinguish an entire species. And then place their ashes at your feet if it meant you’d smile. But I probably won’t be grinning while I do it.”

“You’re here?”

WALK OF SHAME
“Georgiana.”
“Yes, Andy?”
He exhales. “I’m going to kill you.”
I can’t help the laugh. “See, I don’t think so.”
“Don’t you?”
“Nope,” I say, sucking sugar off my thumb. “You don’t send flowers to someone you’re going to kill.”
My review
ATHEIST WHO KNEEL AND PRAY
“I want you, English. I think about you all the time—no—scratch that. I obsess over you all the time. You’re my muse. Wasn’t that the deal? You’re worth every penny.”
My review
THE BAD GUY
"I neither seek forgiveness nor would I accept it."
My review
THE KNOCKED UP PLAN
“We were supposed to be practical. A wham, bam, thank-you ma’am. We weren’t supposed to miss the sex, or the closeness, or the cuddling when this ends.”
My review

THIRTY DAY BOYFRIEND
“You should really join me right now.”
“I really shouldn’t.”
“Are you scared I’ll finally tempt you to fuck me?”
“I’ve been tempted to fuck you since the day we met. So, when I do finally fuck you, I would prefer if you had all your energy.” ... “You’re going to need it.”
My review
BOUNTIFUL
“You bring out a different kind of horny in me— the kind that wants to buy furniture as well as fuck on it. The kind that would rather be a patient man. Because you’re worth it, honey.”
My review
DRIVE
“Love doesn’t die, even when you stop feeding it. There is no expiration date on the ache of missing someone you shared your heart, life, and body with.”

The End Zone by
L.J. Shen
My rating:
5 of 5 stars
5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to The End Zone!
Later in life, she’d learn that this was their special tango. One pulls, the other pushes. One wants, the other gives. One loves, the other hurts.
That's L.J. Shen so yes, the hero is a manwhore and the heroine is the only person who knows how to put him in his place.
The End Zone may be a friends to lovers story but when it's written by an author as strong as L.J. Shen, then the result is a mind blowing-sexy as hell-OhSoPerfect love story.

Charm School Night Play: Lesson 3 by
Lynn Carmer
My rating:
3 of 5 stars
ARC received in exchange for an honest review.3 Sensation stars!
When everybody seems happy with a book and you're the only one who doesn't see its beauty, the best thing you better do is
I've never been a fan of blindfolds, spankings and master/slave relationships or whatever it is called in the fifty shades of the erotic world.
Charm School Night Play is about sensation and body discovering. It's a journey towards our senses, bodies and feelings.
I loved Tommy's personality. He was handsome, smart, funny, drool worthy and he knew what he wanted and went shamelessly for it.
“When you trust me, when you truly give your body to mine, I’ll deprive you of your senses, cover your beautiful eyes and tie you up. Mute your hearing so…” “Stop.”
“No.” His head spun, ...“You called bullshit. I’m defending myself.”
Athena was a different story. Though she was sex on a stick with a body as sensual as a wet dream, I really wanted to strangle some sense into her brain.
Charm School Night Play is book three in the Charm Lessons series. And though I haven't read the previous books, I know that each one holds one of the Calvo Quad sister's classes. This book is all fun, sensation, lust, secrets and feelings.

Wicked Torture by
J. Kenner
My rating:
4 of 5 stars
4 Noah & Kiki stars!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
He’d tasted the past last night— and it had made him crave a future.”
So I’m telling you right now, Kiki, I want more. I want it all. And I’m not a man who settles. Not anymore.”
Everybody knows by now that second chance are one of my weaknesses. I love to live the story. I love to see it blossom, and I love to see it fight karma and get its happily ever after.
I loved Kiki so much. The intensity of her feelings and the way she dealt with her heartbreak felt so real to me. And though she sometimes drove me insane, I couldn't but respect her.
Noah had been my heart— hell, he’d been my muse. And when he’d walked away from me, the world beneath my feet had cracked like ice on a winter pond, the fissures radiating in all directions, destroying everything and sending me tumbling into someplace dark and cold and lonely.”
I can't say the same about Noah and I can't for the life of me understand how he could repeat the same mistake again. We know the tragedy he went through including the loss of his child was more than a normal person could handle, but sometimes when life gives you a chance at happiness all you have to do is grab at it and enjoy the hell out of it.
I so wanted to see Noah and Kiki getting their happily ever after. The heartache, the pain and the loss they both suffered were so much to handle.
Wicked Torture is not only about second chances, it's a mixture of emotions and feelings that would teach you the beauty of love wrapped in forgiveness.
