Only Trick By Jewel E. Ann with a side of Pink Squirrel

This book-what can I say other than holy smokes we are going to need a drink. Once you start reading the drink makes even more sense-The Pink Squirrel an easy enough drink to whip up that tastes like summer in a glass. So mix up a glass or pitcher and get ready to sweat because Patrick "Trick" our leading man is going to melt your panties off.


Trick oh my with one word I am melting "come" Something has happened in Patrick "Trick" past that leaves him with a deep mistrust of women, it does not help that due to an accident Trick is missing 5 years of his life.

Darby comes crashing into Trick's life declaring them breakfast soul mates and BFF's. After a lifetime of Doormat Darby she has had enough. There is something about Trick that keeps pulling her in and leaving her unable to walk away.

Trick is not one to waste words and all to often has Darby chasing after him with the simple word "come", but don't mistake Darby for a pushover the woman is a physicians assistant and damn good at what she does. It just so happens that Trick can turn her into a puddle of warm pudding with a look and one word.


Reading this book I got so much more than I bargained for, based on the synopsis I thought I was getting a somewhat dark read but what I got was a well rounded story that had romance, passion, mystery, action, and amazing supporting characters who really helped bring the whole book to life.

This is story of two unlikely people finding love, family, and acceptance in each others arms.

My only real criticism is that Darby goes into things knowing about Tricks missing past, knows about his trust issues when it comes to women and yet at every turn she is pissed at him for being himself. Some of their issues could have been avoided if she would have acted like an adult and talked to Trick rather than run, be sarcastic or just ignore him. More than once I wanted to shake some sense into Darby. As annoying as it was I could relate, haven't we all jumped to conclusions at one time or another? Relationships have a way with turning the most logical person into a crazy messy.

Perfect Chaos By Nashoda Rose

This book, Perfect Chaos will leave you feeling as if that is what you have walked into the middle of. I do not mean this in a bad way, but rather Deck will leave you hot and bothered while frustrated as all get out.

 

 

Georgie will pull you in every direction from sympathy for a young girl who losses her brother to frustration that she does not listen to sound advice but rather places herself and others in danger. Just when you are ready to slap some sense into her your heart will break into a thousand pieces for her.

 



Have you ever read book and think you have it all figured out within the first few pages only to later learn you are so very wrong?

Georgie is only 15 when her brother dies. It is Deck that breaks the news and spends the next ten years looking out for Georgie from the shadows. That is until Georgie needs saving from herself. Before Conner was killed in Afghanistan Georgie was a good girl, always playing by the rules, focused on school and grades rather than friends and boys. The day Deck broke the news of Conner's death something snaps inside Georgie and in a fit of rage and despair she turns her room upside down. Deck does not stop her but simply watches. This will be their pattern for the years to come, Georgie lashing out while Deck stand by and watches her back.

Georgie comes across as the party girl, drinking way to much and sleeping around. Always depending on Deck to be there if she goes too far. More than once Deck has to carry her out of a bar and brings her home. Always the gentlemen Deck tucks her into bed and leaves water and aspirin on the nightstand. Georgie can only dream of what his lips would feel like pressed to hers.

They  both fight their attraction to each other but a series of events force them to face what they have been running from for all these years. When they finally come together it is explosive and perfect. Life is not perfect and their story is no different, they both hold secrets that can either destroy them or bring them closer together. Will they trust each other or will their secrets rip them apart.

In between all the hottie hotness some real action takes place that will leave you emotionally ripped to shreds. It is not until the last 25% of the book that the story really takes a turn and plays with your emotions as the action really starts to take over the story.

This one started out as a fun and frustrating unrequited love story that unfolded like a flower blossoming in the summer rain only to find a vicious meat eating killer has been hiding in the middle. Give this book a chance you will not regret it. You will be rewarded with lots of steamy hot sex, some action and mystery filled in with heart shredding emotions.

Being Emerald by Sylvia Ryan

What can I say about this amazing book? I laughed, I cried, I argued with Rock on Laila's behalf. As the resistance against Morgan and all he stands for continues on Laila and Rock have their parts to carry out, missions made even more dangerous as their love for each other grows.

As we know from reading being amber and being sapphire Morgan is a big ole bag of crazy with a side of madness. This madness runs deep and in this rollercoaster of a book we see just how deep it runs.

Rock has shown us his Dominate side from the start of Being Amber but here in his own story we see not only the hard dom Rock but also the lover Rock. As his story unfolds be prepared to grieve and let go along with Rock as he figures out life without Emily and learns to forgive himself of the burden he carries feeling he failed the woman he loved.

Sweet Laila, after 5 years living as a sapphire isolated from the physical affections that ambers crave and need will face a daunting task in loving Rock. Laila has her own mission when it comes to the resistance  and she will carry out her part with or without Rocks blessing.

As I sit here with my book hangover I cannot help but become a little emotional. These characters have made a special place in my heart and Ms. Ryan only cemented them in with her emotional and touching epilogues. With only a few paragraphs she will have you crying like a baby.
