ARC Review Their Twisted Love By Amelia James

Their Twisted Love By Amelia James


Description 
Alex has everything he wants. He loves the power that comes with his job, and fooling around with his boss provides the illicit kink he needs. He's in charge and trusts no one.

Will should've learned something from his disastrous past, but he's distanced himself from everyone who loved him, keeping the pain in protective custody. He has no use for entanglements.

Talia has a new man, safe and secure—and boring as hell. She won’t sleep with him until she knows she wants only him. But she can't forget, or forgive, the men who indulged her wildest fantasies and violated her trust.

They're happy apart... until Alex's case forces them back together, and Talia discovers she still craves both her former lovers. Can only one love her enough to satisfy her twisted desires and provide the stability she needs?

Sometimes, the wrong reasons are the only reasons.

My Review

Warning... This book is smoking, has graphic language isn't for anyone under the age of 18... Just saying.

Their Twisted love is book 2 of the Twisted Mosaic series and follows Talia, Alex, and Will. If you haven't read book 1 Her Twisted Pleasure, you should because Talia is out for revenge in this book. 

OK so I have to say I don't really care for Talia's actions in this book... Yes she was used, yes she doesn't know what she wants...She just rubs me the wrong way. I understand she has a new boyfriend and she is trying to "be good"... Yeah that doesn't last long(at least she is honest about it)...and Poor Will that guy has it so bad for her and is always the fall back guy... Will Talia ever get her head out of her ass and grow up???  That is the major question in this book.

Alex is smokin he knows what he wants and takes it... In his professional and personal life. He admits he did Talia wrong and tries hard to make her happy. He does everything short of giving her Will to keep her happy and still Talia messes that up.


I do like that Talia and Alex do seem to try and have a relationship and Will puts Talia in her place (finally) and pretty much says no to her, in order to make her grow up and save himself from heartache. I saw growth in the characters and liked that... the sex scenes were smokin also... always a good thing. 


I do have to say I want to read book 3 to see what choices Talia makes because towards the end of the book it seems as if she and Alex had come to an understanding and were actually gonna work out... Enter in Cliffhanger with Will...I need to know what happens with this crazy threesome of characters. 

I Rate this book a 4 out of 5

Open House: Pool of Souls by Krystal Shannan

Open House: Pool of Souls by Krystal Shannan


Description
Intrinsically woven into the fabric of human existence, Aphrodite, Titan Goddess of Love and Passion, dedicates herself to matching soul mates. 

Rebecca Carol and Robert Corvin missed their original chance to bond when Ares, God of War, took control of Robert's career ten years ago. Their souls have naturally pulled them back together for a second chance at love, but...How far will the gods go to get their own way? 

Will divine influence create another perfect match or will it tear them apart forever?

Novella - 60pgs - Paranormal Romance

My Review

Pool of Souls is a fast read but it is very fulfilling and leaves you wanting to know more. Krystal Shannan is great at doing that... I hate and love how she does that because i don't like waiting as i want to keep reading(smart... very smart lady).
I loved everything about it even though it was this book was about Rebecca and Corvin reconnecting and Aphrodite making sure their souls unite/bond and forever being connected; I have to say Aphrodite and Ares stole the scene.

I loved the inner fighting between Ares and Aphrodite(that girl has some serious power and a wicked temper). There is so much sexual tension between them and they both know how to get each other going.

Having Rebecca and Corvin connect after so many years when both secretly wanted each other in high school, was great. The cheerleader and her tutor both now grown.. throw in meddling gods, minions and a stalker ex you get a great read which never feels rushed or lacking. 

I can't wait to read book two because Aphrodite and Ares burned up the sheets and had me wanting more of them.
I rate this book a 5 out of 5

Waiting on Goodies for Monthly Contest and Mountain Pictures

Ok all so i wanted to start my monthly contest today... But the goodies i ordered haven't came in the mail yet... I am going to start the contest as soon as i get them in the mail which should be by Friday. I like having pictures of the items so that people know what they are going to get.


So Monday and Tuesday of this week the family was in the Mountains... It was beautiful and we had a great time visiting with Hubby's Grandma and his Great Uncle Larry & Sunshine. The boys had a blast... On the way back we decided to stop at the Biltmore Estate (OMG it is beautiful) and toured the Winery there too. The boys were so well behaved and i got so many compliments from stangers on how well behaved and handsome my boys were. That makes a mom feel great as some days all they do is fight. So here are some pictures from Monday and Tuesday to tide you over till I get the goodies in the mail.

Book Blitz GAME.SET.MATCH by Jennifer Iacopelli and a Giveaway


GAME.SET.MATCH By: Jennifer Iacopelli


Synopsis:
Nestled along the coastline of North Carolina, the Outer Banks Tennis Academy is the best elite tennis training facility in the world. Head Coach, Dominic Kingston has assembled some of the finest talent in the sport. From the game's biggest stars to athletes scraping and clawing to achieve their dreams, OBX is full of ego, drama and romance. Only the strong survive in this pressure cooker of competition, on and off the court.

Penny Harrison, the biggest rising star in tennis, is determined to win the French Open and beat her rival, the world’s number one player, Zina Lutrova. There’s just one problem, the only person who’s ever been able to shake her laser-like focus is her new training partner. Alex Russell, tennis’s resident bad boy, is at OBX recovering from a knee injury suffered after he crashed his motorcycle (with an Aussie supermodel on the back). He's hoping to regain his former place at the top of men’s tennis and Penny’s heart, while he’s at it.

Tennis is all Jasmine Randazzo has ever known. Her parents have seven Grand Slam championships and she’s desperate to live up to their legacy. Her best friend is Teddy Harrison, Penny’s twin brother, and that’s all they’ve ever been, friends. Then one stupid, alcohol-laced kiss makes everything super awkward just as she as she starts prepping for the biggest junior tournament of the year, the Outer Banks Classic.

The Classic is what draws Indiana Gaffney out of the hole she crawled into after her mom’s death. Even though she’s new to OBX, a win at the Classic is definitely possible. She has a big serve and killer forehand, but the rest of her game isn’t quite up to scratch and it doesn’t help that Jasmine Randazzo and her little minions are stuck-up bitches or that Jack Harrison, Penny’s agent and oldest brother, is too hot for words, not to mention way too old for her.

Who will rise? Who will fall?

Told from rotating points of view, GAME. SET. MATCH. is a 'new adult' novel about three girls with one goal: to be the best tennis player in the world.
