Test Drive by Samantha Chase

About the Book

Willow Andrew’s life is a hot mess.

Coming from a family of successful professionals, the fact that at twenty-seven she still doesn’t know what she wants to be when she grows up doesn’t sit well. Desperate not to disappoint her grandmother, she invents a fake boyfriend so Gammy won’t worry so much. It seemed a victimless lie… until Gammy announced that Willow AND her boyfriend needed to be present at her 75th birthday party. Or else. Out of time and options, Willow turns to the sexy bartender she’s been secretly crushing on for help.

Levi Sullivan has his life in order and thrives off helping others.

In fact, he would do anything to help out a friend. But he’s angling for far more than friendship with Willow. Entranced by the clumsy beauty since the first time he watched her trip over nothing, he happily agrees to a chance to spend more time with her. Fake romance or not, he’s determined to use their long-distance road trip to turn a game of pretend into something more.

Warning—the roads ahead will twist and turn with laugh-out-loud moments and sizzling chemistry. But traffic should be aware, the journey ahead is far more important than the destination.

Cruel Money (Cruel, #1)Cruel Money by K.A. Linde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 out of 5 ‘High society drama’ Stars

If you’ve ever seen the movie Cruel Intentions from 1999 (dating myself) then this book had a lot of Cruel Intention-like vibes. This story has a high society guy, Penn, who has a group of friends that also run in that same upper echelon of society. They are tight-knit but in the most unhealthy of ways. They all have too much money and too much time on their hands and definitely feel like they are entitled to everything and anything. I think out of all of his friends I liked Katherine the least. She’s selfish, pampered, devious, cruel and just a plain bitch. It doesn’t help that she has her sights set on Penn throughout the whole book. Lark and Rowe seemed to be a little more low key than the rest of them. And Lewis is the fun-loving charmer of the group.

This is a story about a time when Penn met this girl, Natalie, one weekend in Paris. They had an instant connection and a heated night of passion. Penn leaves Natalie without an explanation and she’s devasted and heartbroken. She carries this with her throughout the next six years of her life, until she unexpectedly crosses paths with Penn again. And of course, Natalie doesn’t come from money. Or even have a lot of it now. She’s the hired help. Their worlds couldn’t be more different.

I have to say that I had a whole love/hate thing going on with Penn. While I loved him when he and Natalie were one on one…I truly hated him when he was around his friends. I felt like his friends all brought out the worst qualities in Penn. Having said that, you don’t make a bet with your crew that you could get Natalie to fall in love with you (easy peasy) if you don’t want Natalie to ever find out. Katherine was the competition in the bet and all the others were pretty much just witnesses. And throughout the book, you get more and more of an idea of how devious and horrible Katherine could be to get her way and attempt to win the bet. But what bothered me the most is that Penn never backed down from the bet. He tried to get Katherine to back out of it but would never just say ‘you know what? This is dumb. I like her and she’s worth more than this dumb bet.’ Buuuuuuuut he didn’t. And I thought that Penn was pretty dumb for this. All to save face for a bet. Shame really. He deserves that bitch, Katherine.

Natalie was a character that you could definitely love. She’s a writer, a dreamer but always says what’s on her mind; no filter necessary. A girl after my own heart! She made some poor decisions but I felt like she allowed herself to be a little blinded by her lust/love for Penn. She never knew of his untrustworthy ass!! And this type of event is the type to change a girl. She can either stay the same or level the playing field and beat them at their own game.

The end leaves you with a major cliffy and a little insight as to where the direction of the next book could possibly start out. I honestly don’t know if I’m even rooting for Penn. He’s kind of a douche when he’s around his friends. He has so many opportunities to come clean and he never did. Then towards the end of the story there also a little curve thrown in about Lewis possibly having feelings for Natalie. I was stunned!! I could see myself rooting for Team Lewis. Definitely stoked to see what happens next.

Happy Reading!!

Title: The Hero and the Hacktivist
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Sexy Romantic Comedy
 Release Date: November 9, 2018
Blurb

 

A SEAL / Best Friend’s Brother / Robin Hood in Cyberspace Romantic Comedy
For anyone who’s ever been on the receiving end of an unsolicited dick pic…
He has the muscles of Adonis, an ego bigger than the sun, and a very clear desire to get back in my pants. Which would be fantastic if he weren’t a SEAL and I wasn’t a criminal.
Although, I prefer the term avenger.
I’m a hacktivist, cleaning up the cesspool of cyberspace one scam artist and troll at a time, and I sometimes bend a few rules to get justice done.
He’s a military man with abs of glory, sworn to uphold the letter of the law no matter its shortcomings. And if he’d known who—or what—I was, I doubt he would’ve banged me at my best friend’s wedding reception.
Or come back for more.
Which is why he’s now the only thing standing between me and one very pissed off internet troll who’s figured out where I live.
I’m pretty sure he’ll get me out of this alive—and quite satisfied, thank you very much—but I’m also pretty sure this mission will end with me in handcuffs.
And not the good kind of handcuffs.
The Hero and the Hacktivist is a romping fun romance between a SEAL and a twisted hacker by day, drummer by night, complete with epic klutziness, terrible leg warmers, and an even worse phone virus gone wrong. This romantic comedy stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers and ends with a fabulously fun happily ever after.

The Hero and the HacktivistThe Hero and the Hacktivist by Pippa Grant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 out of 5 ‘A weird time had by all’ Stars

The one thing I love about reading Pippa Grant’s stories is that I never know what I’m going to get. They are deliciously unpredictable. I would give anything to have a conversation with this chick because the shit that comes out of her characters mouths (or the thoughts they have) are so freaking outrageously hilarious. I can only imagine what the mastermind behind all these interesting and complex characters is actually like. Each of Pippa Grant’s stories has all the characters from her previous stories and their stories seem to intertwine. They can all be read as standalones but why would you want to deny yourself all the crazy goodness that the pages contain? Read. Them. All!!! If you have read them, you’ll know that reading the previous stories only give you better insight as to character mannerisms and previous incidents that are mentioned in the current story.

In this newest edition to Pippa Grant’s collection of crazy love stories we have Rhett, the Navy SEAL hero, and Eloise, the heiress to the bellbottom fortune turned hacktivist (saving the world one internet troll at a time). This couple is one of the unlikeliest couples ever but if you remember from previous Pippa books that Rhett is the brother to Parker, who is the lead singer in the band that Eloise is also apart of. There’s your connection.

Eloise was such a complex character. At times I even grew a little frustrated with her because she could never just tell the truth. She was always hiding behind sarcasm or half-truths or just full on lies. She has created this image of herself that she feels keep people at arm’s length because eventually, everyone leaves. But as much as I was frustrated with her I found her completely fascinating. She had all this money and she chose to spend her time on the computer righting the injustices of internet scams and trolls. It’s in this quest for justice that Eloise gets in over her head with her Robin Hood-ness and finds herself in some deep doo doo. And of course, Rhett comes in with his superhero complex to try and save the day.

The story is filled with two people who are hiding their true selves in order to protect others or themselves. It was amazing to see that when you broke it down how similar Rhett and Eloise were in their need for chaos and righting wrongs. And I cannot forget that the crazy shenanigans involved kept my nose glued to the book until it was over. So who’s next? Cuz I cannot leave this crazy book family for at least a few more books. Like is Brooks going to get a book? Gavin? Who?? I need to know. Until then….

Happy Reading!!

#AubreysBookReview and #BlogTour for CLOSER by Carmen Jenner!!

Closer_Blog_Tour.jpg

Closer, the stunning conclusion to the Taint Duet from USA Today bestselling author Carmen Jenner is LIVE!

Closer_Carmen_Jenner_AMAZON

Levi Quinn has it all—money, groupies, a panty-melting smile, and a really big d*ck.

At least, he had it all. Until an angry redhead joined the Taint world tour and turned his life upside-down. Levi fell in love with her. His bandmate did too. It did not end well.

Brielle Kagawa doesn’t keep company with rock stars, but when this gifted cellist finds herself kicked out of the Orchestre de Parisan all-expenses-paid gig in the south of France seems too good to be true.

Because it is.

The man footing the bill might be a disorderly drunk, but he has an offer she can’t refuse—stay in his chateau and play for the month. No strings attached.

Yeah right.

The truth about rock stars is that they’re awfully good players, but Levi isn’t the only one who knows how to master a set of strings.

He’s broken-hearted.

She doesn’t have a heart to break.

Excerpt:

She lets out a soft cry, but it isn’t one of pain, it’s another kind of anguish. It’s need. “Please let me go,” she begs.

I study her face. “I don’t think you want me to let you go.”

“You’re wrong.”

I let her wrist slip free of my grasp and search her gaze. “Prove it.”

“I do not have to prove anything to you.”

“Then quit looking at me like you want me to fuck you, because it’s torture,” I snap. A week worth of pent-up frustration, of wanting this woman who refuses to give in, and never backs down. “It’s fucking torture the way you look at me.”

“Torture?” A crease forms between her brow. Fuck, she’s hot when she’s angry. “What the hell are you talking about?”

“Just what I said. You can’t keep looking at me like that.” I take another step closer and she backs up against the door. “Or walk around in these skimpy little outfits, and you can’t be this close to me.”

“The robe was your idea, and you cornered me!”

“You’re right.” I sigh, and step back but she catches my collar in her fist and draws me closer.

 

Closer (Taint Duet, #2)Closer by Carmen Jenner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 out of 5 “I hate authors’ Stars

Sooooo CLOSER picked up right where REVELRY ended. I strongly recommend that you read REVELRY prior to diving into CLOSER because I feel like it would be a little confusing in the beginning or maybe not confusing so much as it’s easier to follow having read the previous book. With that being said, let the review begin!!

First off, i may just hate you a little bit Carmen Jenner!! I say that in the most loving and emotionally drained heartfelt way that can be imagined. Holy crap! I did not expect Levi’s story to be like this. I honestly thought it was going to be more of a rom-com. Nope. Not even a little. We start off this book satiating our curiosity of finding out what happened to Ali and Cooper. And while I liked Ali and Cooper from REVELRY, there was always something about Levi that tugged at my heartstrings. So I have to say that when Levi was pissed at the beginning because Ali and Cooper were getting married, I felt pissed too.

The feels that you get from reading Levi’s story caught me by surprise. I’ve been through the ultimate emotional roller coaster in this book. I was mad and sad and happy and giddy and a whole lot turned on…..but wow….the absolute heartbreak is just….you can feel it- as if it’s your own. I was super depressed for a day or two after reading the first part of the book. Like damn. How much can one guy take?

Brielle was definitely an interesting character to get paired with Levi. She was strong where he was weak and him funny where she was serious. Their interactions were nothing short of magical chemistry. She was going through her own pile of garbage while trying to navigate Levi’s as well. There was also some things that went down that I never ever saw coming. I love when a book is just so unpredictable! I’m just gutted by this amazing story. I definitely loved this more than I liked Ali and Cooper’s story. Hands down. No question.

The only question I do have is….will there be more from the men of Taint???

Happy Reading!!

In the dark, during the fundraising video, she leaned into me, taking my hand. “What’s going on?”

“Nothing.”

“Caden.” My name was more than a statement. It was a comment on how well she knew the animal, and how well she loved it.

If eyes could listen, hers did, gazing at me in the darkness. I couldn’t lie to her for much longer.

The entire invite list was watching the video. The bar was empty. The hallway lights were dimmed. The kitchen staff moved constantly and quietly to set up the buffet.

I laced my fingers in hers. She had a gold band we’d gotten out of expediency. No big sparkling rock. No sign I’d ever courted her properly before marrying her.

My father always said a man didn’t skip steps if he wanted to do something once.

I slid my cheek to hers and whispered in her ear, “I want to destroy you.”

Her hand tightened in mine so tightly I could feel our bones. Her glands must have fired, because the apples and the perfume melded and became something so uniquely her my balls ached—but not for simple release. For something more. An agreement of ownership.

Waiting wasn’t an option.

Pulling her by the hand, I headed for the hallway.

“Caden,” she said when we were away from the event, “slow down.”

I didn’t. I couldn’t. I pulled her down the carpeted steps to the lower level, stepping over a velvet rope at the bottom. The lights were out in the hall. Three doors led to three empty event rooms.

“What’s with you lately?” she asked.

“Are you saying no?”

“I’m asking a question.”

I backed into one of the rooms and pulled her in. It was dark but for light coming from under the doorways on each side. I walked in deeper, eyes adjusting quickly enough to avoid the tables and stacks of chairs on wheeled dollies.

“So am I.” I faced her. “Are you saying no?”

“What are you hoping I’ll say yes to?”

“I’m going to pull that dress up until I can get to these hard nipples.” I pinched them through the dress and she gasped. “Then I’ll bend you over one of these tables and fuck you so hard walking’s going to hurt. Are you saying no?”

“I’m not. But I want to know what’s going on with you.”

“Pull your dress up before I shred it.”

CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up she’s at the well hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.

She’s frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn’t ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.
