Review - Indiscretion; Volume 4 - Elisabeth Grace




This was the conclusion to the Indiscretion series, and after reading all of the other parts, I wanted to see what happened to Chloe and Max quite badly.

Volume 3 had finished on quite a dramatic ending, so we go straight back in to the action with Vol 4. Were trying to find out who the mystery woman that appeared next to Max is. Although they are on a no strings arrangement, due to end very soon. Chloe is surprisingly very hurt by what she saw. After fleeing the party, Max is also surprisingly worried about what upset Chloe.
So both of them appear to be far more attached to each other, than they would like to admit.

We also still need to find out who is trying to frighten Chloe, which I must admit really shocked me. I was so sure I knew who it was from the start. That was a good shocker.

Then the book takes a completely different twist, that I wasn't expecting, and I found myself going from enjoying the lighthearted and extremely steamy scenes, to balling my eyes out. In the space of about 1 chapter!
The other parts in this series have been novella length, and quite short and spicy. This final part was slightly longer and far more intense.

It was a fantastic conclusion to a great series, and I felt really satisfied with the ending.

Great series, with so much crammed in for those who love to read all different styles of contemporary.

Highly recommended.

Review - Two roads (Gypsy Brothers #6) - Lili St. Germain



Two Roads, is book 6 in the Gypsy Brothers series, and you absolutely, without a doubt, must read the others before this one. I won't give any spoilers of book 6, but there will be spoilers of book 5 in this review.

WOW!! I badly needed this book, after the conclusion of Three Years, I was practically chomping at the bit to find out what was next for Juliette and Jase.


"I've left one prison, the one Dornan constructed for me, only to be trapped in one of my own making. The one in my mind that goes over and over and over again."

So, after being broken out of the prison that she had been held in for months. A very resilient and tough as nails, Juliette is now free. Although she has the reminder of what she has been through, living within her. She is not the same person who was locked away.

After being tortured and abused for 3 months by Dornan Ross, and thinking she may end up dead, before finishing her vendetta against the Gypsy Brothers. Juliette is broken out of her cell, by Elliott, Jase and the guard she believes is called 'The Prospect'.

Although before she managed to get away she was told some truths, from Dornan mid shoot off. What she was told, changes everything. On top of being practically broken, she has always stuck fast to those she thought she could trust, and now she's not so sure.

Once away from Dornan's father Emilio's place, they make their getaway, as far away as they can get, knowing Dornan will be after them again and after another brother is down, I can imagine he won't stop looking until he finds her.

Juliette now has to learn to face her new world, with what she has been left with. Dornan had Juliette injected with Heroin regularly, while she was his captive, and now she has to learn to live without it, and keep it from Elliott and Jase, as the last thing she wants is to be seen like her mother.

On top of that, she also is pregnant. Dornan intended to get Juliette pregnant to replace the sons, she has already murdered. What he doesn't know is, Juliette things that the baby is actually Jase's.

So Juliette has a massive amount to deal with. On top of the revelations of Dornan's before she left.

I actually thought book 5 was the most traumatic, emotional and intense of the series so far, but that was again topped by the next one. Each part to the Gypsy Brothers series, get's more overwhelming and emotional. Yet, incredibly addictive and unputdownable.

Two Roads, took the story to another level completely, and showed me A) what an evil, twisted b****** Dornan is, and is he even capable of stopping? and B) just how much strong Juliette is. She gets absolutely everything thrown at her, repeatedly and she still dusts herself off and gets back up. Perhaps a little wobbly, but she still rises. I found myself blubbing at the what she has to go through, then sighing at her strength.

Again, there is some harsh and sensitive scenes in this book, much like the others. But, if you like the no filters feel, then you absolutely must read this book. It has been an incredibly series and I'm desperate for the final book.

500 Stars!!

FIXED ON YOU (Book 1) 

 

Stalking and restraining orders are a thing of Alayna Wither's past. With her MBA newly in hand, she has her future figured out--move up at the nightclub she works at and stay away from any guy who might trigger her obsessive love disorder. A perfect plan. But what Alayna didn't figure on is Hudson Pierce, the new owner of the nightclub. He's smart, rich, and gorgeous--the kind of guy Alayna knows to stay away from if she wants to keep her past tendencies in check. Except, Hudson's fixed his sights on her. He wants her in his bed and makes no secret of it. Avoiding him isn't an option after he offers a business proposition she can't turn down and she's drawn further into his universe, unable to resist his gravitational pull. When she learns Hudson has a dark history of his own, she realizes too late that she's fallen for the worst man she could possibly get involved with. Or maybe their less than ideal pasts give them an opportunity to heal each other and finally find the love their lives have been missing.



FOUND IN YOU (Book 2) 

 

Alayna Withers has only had one kind of relationship: the kind that makes her obsessive and stalker-crazy. Now that Hudson Pierce has let her into his heart, she's determined to break down the remaining walls between them so they can build a foundation that's based on more than just amazing sex. Except Hudson's not the only one with secrets.
With their pasts pulling them into a web of unfounded mistrust, Alayna turns to the one person who knows Hudson the best--Celia, the woman he almost married. Hoping for insight from someone who understands all sides of the story, Alayna forms a bond with Celia that goes too far--revealing things about Hudson that could end their love for good.
This is the first relationship where Alayna hasn't spiraled out of control. And she might lose Hudson anyway...


FOREVER WITH YOU (Book 3) 

 

Alayna Withers relationship with Hudson Pierce has tested both her and his ability to trust. They decide that the only way they can move forward together is with open doors and transparency. It won't be easy for the scarred lovers, but they're committed to each other more now than ever. Alayna, in particular, has grown through their trials, and has emerged more confident and faithful to the man she loves.
But while the pair is focused on the future, their past shows up again to threaten their fragile bond. Promises that were made are broken, and Alayna learns that Hudson still has very potent secrets--secrets that will tear them both apart. As much as she feels for him, her ability to forgive and forget is tested beyond her limits.
Even though she found the only man who could fix her, a forever with Hudson seems more and more out of reach.

Two Roads - Lili St. Germain - Release Day Blitz

 









Amazon: TBD

RELEASE DATE: September 30th, 2014


Blurb
The sixth book in the #1 iBooks bestselling Gypsy Brothers series.
Juliette and Jase may be out of Dornan's immediate reach, but as tensions rise, will they end up walking right into the enemy's trap?
Can Juliette forgive Jase for his devastating betrayal, or will it destroy everything they've been fighting for?





Excerpt:  Two Roads
He killed my father. I’m having his baby.
He killed my father. I’m having his baby.
Those two sentences are on repeat in my head, the agony of the rolling waves almost too much for me to bear.
And the agony of my nausea slams into me again with the violent rock of the waves that carry us to safer shores. I think. I hope.
But really, how safe am I? I’m suddenly questioning everything, stuck in a vortex of swirling paranoia and doubt. Is Jase on Dornan’s side? He killed my father. He didn’t even try to deny it.
I can’t believe it, I can’t accept it, and I just wish I could think straight for five fucking minutes. I wish I didn’t feel like this. I’ve left one prison, the one Dornan constructed for me, only to be trapped in one of my own making. The one in my mind that goes over and over and over again.
I’m curled as tight as I can get into a ball on a bed in the main cabin of the boat. We must be going pretty fast, or be in some crazy swell, because I swear if the boat tilted a little more, it’d capsize.
The door is closed. I made Elliot promise he wouldn’t let Jase come in here. I’m going to have to face him eventually, but I just can’t face him now. I don’t want to hear his excuses, if he even has any. He killed my father.
I’ve never been afraid of drowning before, but right now, I’m terrified. Drowning in this ship. Drowning in lies and in blood. Drowning in my own treacherous deceit. For so long, I’ve had only one goal – to destroy Dornan. I was too busy focusing on his suffering to notice or care about my own, and now, I feel so damned broken. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to feel normal again.
In fact, come to think of it, I don’t even know what normal is.
I jump as a warm hand touches my shoulder.
“Hey,” a low voice murmurs beside me.
I turn over to see Elliot lying beside me, his pose mirroring mine. I can see water lashing against the small round window that looks out to the cruel sea we travel within.
“You’re shaking,” Elliot says, frowning as he reaches out a hand to me. Without thinking, I shrink back, an automatic response after three months of Dornan’s psychotic hands being the only ones to reach for me. Elliot’s face crumples into something resembling sadness—despair—as he reaches out to me again, slower this time, and pushes my lank hair back from my face.
Am I even here? I’m not sure. This could all be a dream. An elaborate, drug-induced hallucination. The thought makes me reel. Am I out? Or am I still in the basement? Is Elliot in front of me, or is it Dornan?
I scramble away from Elliot, clambering off the bed and backing up to the far end of the tiny room. Behind me, waves pound violently into the thick glass porthole, the only thing separating us from the deadly currents beyond. The movement of the waves catches my attention and I turn, mesmerized, as I press a trembling palm up to the freezing cold glass.
Am I here? Am I alive?
A nudge in my stomach, nothing more than a flutter really, propels me back to sanity.
Yes. I am here. I am here, while Elliot hovers behind me, and Jase and Luis are somewhere beyond the door that keeps me safe in this room.
And I am carrying a baby inside me. A baby that should never have existed.
And I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a terrible thing.

Blurb

They used to be the perfect team.



Two years ago, songstress Sidney Higgins ruined her life by sleeping with not one, but two of the famous Reckless Beat men, Mason Lynch and Sean Taiden. Their night of intimate celebration turned into a worldwide sensation when the video Mason vowed to keep private was uploaded to the internet, destroying her squeaky-clean reputation and turning the world against her. Now she’s broken and left without hope, trying to find the one thing that can get her back on her feet.

A mistake neither one of them is willing to forgive.



When the sex tape went viral and his best friends held him accountable, Mason bore the stigma of asshole with pride. Now, bitterness has destroyed him, driving away his muse and making him worthless in the industry he loves. There’s only one option left to reclaim his creativity, but that would mean collaborating with a woman who wants to castrate him with a plastic knife.

A palpable chemistry even hate can’t diminish.



Forced to work together, neither one of them is prepared for the undesired lust which immediately takes hold. The lies fade away, exposing the truth; however, it also awakens a threat from their past. The person responsible for tearing them apart is back to ensure they don’t rekindle a spark. With their safety in the balance, Sidney and Mason need to determine what they’re willing to risk to reclaim a relationship they wish they’d never lost.
