Damien fox lived up to his name. Cunning, sly, and dangerous, fifty percent of Vegas’ strip clubs were his.

Whatever he wanted, money, attention, women, he got.

And now he wanted to buy my bar, no matter the cost.

I wanted him to go to hell on a first-class ticket.

He played a dirty game, and I followed his rules. I let him think he would win.

Despite our differences, it was clear to see that we were no more than two broken hearts colliding in the darkness.

Closed off, sexy, and holding a pain that would crush a lesser man, he was the ultimate sin.

One I couldn’t deny myself, even though I knew better than to trust a fox…

(SIN is book one of the Vegas Nights series. Each book in this series is a standalone novel.)

4 out of 5 ‘SIN with me” Stars

I totally enjoyed this SIN-fully great story. I thought the main characters were well developed. Damien Fox is out to own Dahlia’s bar. But Dahlia’s not willing to sell her family’s legacy; not for any amount of money he offers. But after pursuing Dahlia’s bar, Damien starts to wonder if his pursuit for her bar was ever about her bar or just to get closer to the beautiful enigma of a woman – Dahlia.

While I liked the story, I thought it a little predictable. Well, scratch that. I actually thought there was going to be a little more drama surrounding Damien and his father’s “need” to buy Dahlia’s bar. I don’t know what I was looking for but I just thought that the ending was so…..easy. Less tortured than I thought it would be. Does that make me a sick person? Maybe. But I know that nothing in life is that simple. And I did feel like the ending was a little more simple than I originally thought it would be. Am I disappointed? A little. But aside from that, this was a totally enjoyable read and recommend to anyone willing to SIN.

Happy Reading!!

Rosie

They say that life is a beautiful lie and death a painful truth. They’re right.

No one has ever made me feel more alive than the guy who serves as a constant reminder that my clock is ticking.

He is my forbidden, shiny apple.

The striking fallacy to my blunt, raw, truth.

He is also my sister’s ex-boyfriend.

One thing you should know before you judge me;

I saw him first. I craved him first. I loved him first.

Eleven years later, he waltzed into my life, demanding a second chance.

Dean Cole wants to be my bronze horseman. My white knight has finally arrived. Hopefully, he isn’t too late.

Dean

They say the brightest stars burn out the fastest. They’re right.

She sets my mind on fire.

All smart mouth, snarky attitude and a huge heart.

In a world where everything is dull, she shines like fucking Sirius.

Eleven years ago, fate tore us apart.

This time, I fucking dare it to try.

Getting to her is a battlefield, but man, that’s why they call me Ruckus.

Rosie LeBlanc is about to find out how hard I can fight.

And conquering her will be the sweetest victory.

5 out of 5 ‘Dean-effing-Cole’ Stars

I want to start this review with a holy mother!! Or ‘what the hell just happened’! But honestly, none of those things would do this book any justice. It’s not just Dean and Rosie’s story. It’s intense and uplifting but then throws you down to the ground without warning creating little cracks in your super strong armour. Then as you continue to devote yourself to this story (because you really can’t do anything less than that) those cracks fill with warm ooey-gooey madness that threatens your entire emotional system. This book-this story was a-maz-ing!!!!

I know this is going to sound weird but I loved that Rosie had a chronic illness. So many people have chronic illnesses and those people are (most times) unintentionally written off as ‘dead person walking’ by friends and family; most of which don’t really understand what the person is going through. Rosie had drive and determination to prove to her family that she could live a semi-normal life without be coddled and swaddled in fifty thousand sheets of bubble wrap. It’s those people, the people who have a will to live, that can defy the odds. Rosie defied more than the odds.

Dean. Oh lawd, Dean. While I thought Dean was going to be super douchey like Vicious, I was pleasantly surprised to find that he not only wasn’t at all like Vicious, but seriously fucked up in his own way. There was no way, NO WAY, that I or anyone could have been prepared to deal with Dean’s past and how it intersected with his present. I. Did. Not. See. That. Coming. Like, at all. Not even a little bit. But it explained soooooooo much. It explained why Dean sought refuge in the arms of alcohol, drugs and many, many faceless women. And even though I’m not a huge fan of books that flip back and forth between past and present….This story. This story NEEDED to be told this way. I honestly cannot see it any other way. The way it was done? It filled in so many gaps, in not only Dean and Rosie’s story but Dean and Millie and Vicious and Millie and blah blah blah you get it.

Emotional roller coaster doesn’t even begin to describe the battlefield that my emotions have gone through. Laughing and crying and swooning and anger. There’s more, I know there’s more. But once I started reading this it was extremely difficult to devote too much time to anything else. I just NEEDED to know. With that I am just a little bit grateful that I have some time to recover before Trent’s story comes along but on the flip side I’m disappointed that I have to wait too. (Geez, I’m not easy to please or anything.) But I’ll still have memories of Dean “Ruckus” Cole to keep me warm until Trent comes along to blaze it up. And even though I finished this story a while ago, I still think of it from time to time. And that my friends, is how it should be.

Happy Reading!!

Title: Curveball

Author: Mariah Dietz

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: May 18, 2017

Blurb

Shakespeare believed there was always humor in tragedy and
tragedy in humor.

My life proved his theory as fact.

At eighteen I was a single parent moving to this small town
to be with the man I loved. The one who was supposed to love and cherish me in
return.

Finding out he had a wife was tragic.

Remaining in love with him in spite of her was more tragic.

My mom and best friend setting me up on a long string of
blind dates was an ongoing tragedy.

Nine years later, I’ve learned to see the humor in most
situations.

My mom and best friend setting me up on disastrous blind
dates.

My son’s jokes.

The fire alarm going off each time I cook.

My constant bright spot always adding to the humor was my
son, Hayden. But when Hayden had a life-threatening allergic reaction, the man
who came to help my little boy became my own savior. His laugh, his smile, and
the way his eyes lit up when he spoke to my son made him a beacon of light in
both our lives.

But I wasn’t the only one who noticed him.

When I began having feelings for the man my best and only
friend had fallen for, I knew following my heart would once again lead to a fresh
round of heartbreak.

Love led me to this town.

Lies kept me there.

Would history repeat itself?

 

Or had life just thrown me another Curveball?

Excerpt

“I don’t watch TV at night…” Her voice drifts off, and I know it’s because she realizes I’m going to ask why.And I do.

“You’re going to laugh.”

“Probably.”

“It’s because I can’t hear things.”

“What kinds of things are you trying to hear?”

“I don’t know. Strange noises and things…”

“Strange noises?”

“Do I need to spell it out for you?” She’s trying to sound annoyed, but I can hear the smile in her voice.

“Apparently, because I have no idea what you’re talking about. What kinds of strange noises are you going to hear? I usually turn my TV up to block out all the strange sounds like the neighbor’s kids and the lady behind me that sounds like Fran fucking Drescher.”

“You know who Fran Drescher is?”

“My mother was a big fan of that stupid show she was in. Stop changing the subject. What are you listening for? Hayden won’t sneak out.”

“What if someone breaks in?”

“You’re not serious.”

“Of course I’m serious!”

“What do you do all night?” I ask.

“Work,” she admits. “Well, usually I clean, and then I work.”

“I’m coming over.”

“You can’t.”

The panic in her voice doesn’t make her sound upset about the idea, but afraid.

Is it because she likes me?

“Why not?” I ask.

“It’s like nine o’clock.”

“Are you about to turn orange and sprout a stem?”

“That and I’m not wearing a bra, if you must know.”

“So put it back on.”

“You don’t understand. That’s like saying put your jeans back on.”

“I am in jeans,” I lie just to get a reaction out of her.

“What is wrong with you?” she cries.

“What’s wrong with jeans?”

“They’re stiff and uncomfortable. Wearing jeans all day is basically equivalent to walking on sandpaper. But at least you guys have pockets that will actually hold something larger than a thimble and don’t ride up your ass.”

“If your bra is riding up your ass, we have bigger fish to fry than being afraid of the boogey man.”

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aubrey’s Thoughts~~ 

5 out of 5 ‘Pleasantly surprised’ Stars This is the first time I am reading a Mariah Dietz book and I have to say that I was loving it. The single mother with a raging case of anxiety? Its soooooooo relatable. I found myself identifying with the heroine more as I read the book. The book revolves around Ella and her young son, Hayden. And of course the super sexy Coen. Yum. But Ella moves back to a town where she doesn’t really want to live but does anyway so that her son can know his father. The circumstances that revolve around Ella and her story were very relatable. She was young and became enamored by a much older man; only to find out that he was married. (Scumbag) And after she became pregnant, she tried to be the grown up by moving closer to him in an effort to maintain the father/son relationship. I feel like her motives were plain and simple but she also had a super unhealthy relationship with the father of her son. Letting him walk in and out of her life like a revolving door? Yeah, that was only going to last for so long. Coen. Oh man. He was so sexy and instantly made me think that he was a keeper. I like how he tried to deny his attraction to Ella at first. He rationalized everything under the sun until he could no longer fight it. He was a good guy right from the start and made the book that much more enjoyable. This book was a “closed door sex’ kinda book. While I am not a total perv, (see what I did there?) I will openly admit that I’m usually a little turned off by these types of books. Sometimes a girl just needs a little something extra, you know? But what I can also admit, was the story was just THAT good that I truly didn’t mind the “closed door sex.” I LOVED the story, the characters…..it just didn’t need that in this story. This was truly a sweet contemporary. And at the end there were some plot twisters that I was saying “Oh no!” and “Oh no you didn’t!” A great read. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Happy Reading!!

The boy next door. That’s what he was. Dash Frasier—my hero
from the day we met, when I was six and he was nine. His sister was my best
friend, the three of us one happy crew. Then one sweaty summer night changed
everything. 

No one understood me like Dash. No one made me feel so

Now I’m older. Wiser. I’ve just snagged my dream job,

You guessed it.

3 out of 5 ‘Did not live up to the hype’ Stars

I was super stoked to read this story. I have never read Ella James before and was excited for this friends to lovers tale. Buuuuuut it really wasn’t all it was hyped up to be.

Amelia grew up next to Dash, the ultimate super sexy boy next door. I didn’t like this story for a number of reasons. I felt like Amelia was a huge fucking doormat that Dash continuously wiped his feet all over. She loved him and he abused every part of that love. Dash repeatedly crushed Amelia over and over—dropping in and out of her life at will. And like the ever faithful doormat she was, Amelia took him back again and again. And there wasn’t even any suffering or groveling on Dash’s side. Amelia was just there with open arms- blah blah blah. Their total lack of respect they had for each other was astounding. It made them both seem like weak people.

And then there was this huge ‘secret.’ The secret popped up towards the beginning of the story and is drawn out and out…….and out. When the secret is finally revealed, I was so frustratingly pissed by being strung along for so long. And it occurred right towards the end of the story. There was no time to process and with such an epic secret…….Amelia surprisingly (not surprisingly) “got over it” and yay!! it’s the happily ever after. Really?!?!? Are you freaking kidding me?!?!? This secret was kept by Dash for YEARS!!! Years people!!!! And then it’s revealed and it’s just okay?? There’s no way I would be able to process let alone get over something of ‘years withholding magnitude.’

OK, so I didn’t like this. But I read the entire thing and that should count for something. Right? Honestly, it doesn’t turn me off from the author but this story just didn’t do it for me.

Happy Reading!!

Blurb:

It’s just a docuseries about your career as an OB/GYN, they said.

It won’t interrupt your life during or after filming, they said.

It is a great opportunity for the hospital and your practice, they said.

 

Well, they—the television executives who seem intent on ruining my career and personal life with a fair number of creative liberties—lied.

Now I’m stuck dealing with the consequences of believing them.

 

Instead of being known as Dr. Will Cummings, Head of Obstetrics and Gynecology at St. Luke’s Hospital, I’m now being called Dr. Obscene.   

 

What devotion I’d hoped to earn in respect, I’ve instead received in patients flashing me seductive smiles and flirtatious winks during their exams.

 

How’s a guy supposed to convince the most perfect woman he’s ever met that he’s not as much of an idiot in real life as he appears to be on camera?

 

With all of the show’s side effects taking root like parasites, it’s going to take a lot to persuade Melody Marco to be anything more than my new nurse.

But I can’t get her out of my head.

 

I want her.

 

Good thing I’ve never been one to back away from a challenge…

           

Get ready, Melody.

 

The doctor is in.

3.75 out of 5 ‘Delightfully Adorable’ Stars

So my brain feels pretty off with my expectations from the blurbs recently. I’m definitely a little more than upset that I’m more naive than I thought I was. But whatevs, that’s my problem. Onto the review….

Dr. OBscene was a super cute rom-com that had me laughing out loud and swooning whenever Will and his big stupidly sexy self entered the page. I thought his character was super sweet and endearing. Buuuuuuut, I guess I thought he was going to be a womanizing douche-nozzle and that wasn’t what he was; like at all. Even though he mentioned throughout the book about his playboy ways and carefree sex life, there wasn’t really much evidence to support it other than him saying so. And being a great guy is a wonderful quality but I felt like I was lead to believe that he was a player when in reality he was this super sweet, caring hunk of doctor.

Melody and Will were so perfect together with their very hysterically funny banter to the antics they both went through made this story oh-so-enjoyable. I seriously read this book with a goofy grin pretty much 98% of the time. I mean, soooo funny. I loved the secondary characters, especially both Will and Melody’s parents. I will seriously strive to be as crazy funny as both of their parents were. Crazy with a capital C!!!

Would I read another book by Max Monroe again? Definitely. Even though I felt like Will wasn’t even remotely alpha, he was still a great guy and perfect in this story. Wondering if any of the other secondary characters are going to get their own story. And if so…..who?

Happy Reading!!

Tiny Tease:

“Oh, come on. If I were really trying to torture you, I wouldn’t have protected you from the fact that Savannah has been in there trying to convince Georgie that, and I quote, it’d be the most natural thing in the world for you to be her obstetrician.”

Internally, I cringed. Externally, I cringed. In fact, it felt like Kline had just jabbed me in the back of the throat with his finger, and my gag reflex was doing nothing more than reacting accordingly—hacking cough, choking sensation, slight nausea.

I loved my career as a physician in obstetrics, but I’d sign up to flip burgers at the nearest fast-food joint if it meant avoiding doing vaginal exams on my sister. The mere thought was worse than that disgusting horror flick called The Human Centipede.

 

Seriously, if you’ve never seen that movie, don’t fucking see that movie.

      That flick is more traumatic than the blue waffle and that “Two Girls One Cup” site combined.

Jesus. Don’t Google those either.
