Crashed by K. Bromberg

I loved everything about this series, including the conclusion.  I could not have asked for more, with that said..I will miss Colton, Rylee, Becks, Haddie and all the boys more than I care to elaborate and still seem sane..
 

Let me start this review with something that needs to be clearly stated..K. Bromberg can write! She evokes emotions on every level. From gut wrenching pain, empathy, bliss, friendship and complete panty soaking hotness, so for that I say “thank you”!  

Damaged men that find themselves through the eyes of a strong woman that love them are my absolute favorite kind.  Colton Donavan owns this, completely.  Finding out the hard way that life is too short, he finally finds his voice and opens his heart completely.  Through the love of not only his Ryles, but the boys in the house, his parents, and extended family that could not help but love him unconditionally.  Finding his worth through their love was an incredible way to end this journey.

Not usually a fan of the female leads in books, I was utterly taken with Rylee.  From a life she had cruelly and abruptly stolen from her at such a young age, she rose from the devastation with a renewed sense of self.  Not one to take life for granted she had it all except for the love of a completely bent not broken man.  And then there was Tawny..what a total bitch face, douche-bag, home wrecking whore..but please feel free to draw your own conclusion to that scenario..

Lyrics and music always have a way of making a story more for me.  The way she evoked emotion by comparing it to a song..was so brilliant in my opinion.  It brought to life more than just the words on the page ever could.  Making the connection to the characters that much stronger and the feelings more tangible.

Having completely and whole heartily fallen head over heels with not only Colton and Rylee, but the series I am sad to see it end.  But Ms. Bromberg gave a stunning epilogue, touching on everything I needed to get closure..so with a heavy heart I bid them all a fond farewell and look forward to more from this author!

"My alphabet, motherfucking A to Z."

Ridge by Adriane Leigh

Ridge..Ridge..Ridge.. I don’t know that I have ever wanted to slap a man through my Kindle as much as Ridge Wild? I wanted to shake him and scream, “GO GET YOUR WOMAN!” and stop stalling..but Ms. Leigh was kind of enough to have the stalling include lots of hot steamy sex..so I just continued reading!

The story actually starts mid-pound and again I tip my hat in thanks for that..never too early for penetration, that’s my motto! After the before mentioned pounding, Ridge makes a decision that will alter his near future and Mia’s..and not for good!

Bad decision made for what he thought was the right reason, had a snowball like effect for all the bad decisions that were headed his way:  Drinking, smoking, working out, fucking, and barely existing in the real world.  Choices that inevitably led him down a path that again made me want to kick him in the junk and slap him back to reality..women that shouldn’t have been there, situations that should not have happened..and guilt that needed to be released!

When forgiveness is found..bonds are remembered and love finally conquers all the demons that have plagued Ridge are quieted and the happy ever after I was praying for is realized..and did I mention lots of hot, dominating sex?

Possessed By You by Jo-Anna Walker

This book starts with a look and an asshole comment..he sounds like a dick..hope that is my lead!  Happy to say he is!

Being someone that enjoys a provocative, sexually explicit story this book had me at the first proposition..one night..no commitment..only hot, steamy sex..um yes please..

So the night was set and hot, demanding, dirty talking sex was had..stroking..painting white..did I mention hot..fanning myself whilst dry humping anything near me sex was had..and one night was NOT enough!

You get small glimpses of both leads but not enough..what you do get a lot of is sex, inner-course, sucking, licking, owning and penetrating of holes.  My concern was the plot and back-story was only sprinkled throughout the bedroom, office, hallway, and car scenes.   
I needed a little more..I came to care but only because at the end it all quickly came sort of together..to then end and make me want the next book like NOW!  I don’t mind an insta-love connection but for me I need a little more back story to totally understand the connection.

But let me tell you..Ms. Walker can spin a tug scene that explodes onto bare skin like nobody’s business and for that I say thank you and can’t wait for the continuation of the story!
