Review: On Dublin Street


On Dublin Street
On Dublin Street by Samantha Young

My rating: 5 of 5 stars




description
Yeah, that type of book! I know I will reread it forever.

Summary

When Joss was fourteen her life tragically changed. Now she is twenty two, living in another continent and hiding from her past. Another change has to been made because she needs to look for a new roommate and place to rent.
As Joss moves to Dublin Street, she has to face all the things she's been hiding from. There she will find family, love, friendship and pain. Is she strong enough to face it?
On Dublin Street perfectly explores Joss feelings and turmoils. The book is all about her maturing.

Impressions and Opinion

Braden is the best type of hero. A great alpha male : gorgeous, smart, funny, hot, bossy, that is great in bed. Really, this book is about Joss, but Braden steals the show.

Joss is an amazing heroine, full of flaws but very much real. Even though I couldn't relate with her life experiences I felt emotionally connected with her. I cried and laughed along, I was happy and sad at the same time.

I can see that Samantha Young is an "expert" in characters creation and development. All her characters, including the secondaries were smartly crafted.

I was expecting an erotica read, because many people had tag it as erotica. It is not! It is an amazing contemporary romance.

I recommend this book to anyone really!

Review: Daniel's Surrender


Daniel's Surrender
Daniel's Surrender by Violet Summers

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Wow! The perfect ending for this series.
All three books were good, but the authors were smart enough to raise the tension to the finale.

Cover- I really liked the cover, I love when we cannot see the face and I can picture them as I want.

hero- There is two as different as night in day and as cliche as it is, in all menages, they complement each other and make the perfect "man".
Mathew is young, flirty, happy, but at the same time he know what he wants and fights to get it.
Daniel is dark and shallow, avoids commitment at all costs. His baggage is heavy, but the book gives the reader a perfect journey through his growth.

heroine - For someone that has never experimented into kinky before, Shannon's acceptance of her feelings and of a total lifestyle was a bit too fast and unbelievable. But she was such a deary character with her fun and willingness that it masked the craziness of it all.

plot- The authors once again take their readers into a journey of the kinky world. It is a greatly crafted book, in which the readers can feel the emotions of the characters.

Impressions and opinion

This was one of the best threesome-book I've read. Mostly because their relationship started as a flirt and it grew in tension and feelings within the book.

I would recommend this book for anyone that likes threesome and BDSM.

I will look into other books from this authors. :)

Review: Hot Ride


Hot Ride
Hot Ride by Kelly Jamieson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



It was so so so good! Romantic Suspense

Cover - good
Characters - amazing
Plot - great
Ending - ok

Summary

Sera Manning is a DEA Agent that has spend half of her life hoping for this one chance of grabbing the bad guy that helped destroyed her family.
Ryan Thomas is an ATF Agent that has been working undercover for the last three months trying to infiltrate the biker's gang Death Angels. But Ryan's work is being compromise and the only solution he has is to get a girlfriend ASAP. When the DEA offers Sera, he is not happy about it. She is not only hot as hell, but she is rookie. Who wants to work undercover with a Rookie?
They become partners in more sense than one. They fight their own ghosts and they get a second chance out of life. Will they be able to enjoy their ride?

Impressions and Opinion

Kelly Jamieson built two really strong characters. I couldn't find any fault for both. Their connections was amazing from the beginning and their struggles very much like real life.
The book started a little slow, but through out the read it grew in complexity. The author touched some very delicate subjects with grace and heart. She also managed some unexpected moments at the end.

I wish for an epilogue for this book. I found the ending a little abrupt and my HEA-heart wanted some hard proofs of how well they stayed together.

I will be looking at some other books of this author. Really amazing read!

Review: Meredith's Awakening


Meredith's Awakening
Meredith's Awakening by Violet Summers

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This is plain description

Book #2 of the Worthington group
It was so so so good.

Summary

Meredith Worthington has always been the perfect daughter, but her father always saw her as weak, only because she is a female.
She decides to have some fun, as seems her brothers are always having it, and visits Velvet Ice, a IT nightclub at her town. While in the line she met a man to die for and along with him she enters the club and got a taste of what BDSM might be like. Before she is ready to end her night, her older brother stops her fun and reality crashes on her.

Five years later, Meredith is just a shadow, she has hidden herself behind an ice queen facade, but fate decides to have fun with her.
Marcus, her older brother, left their business for a weekend of pleasure and Meredith takes his place in a business meeting. There she is faced with a ghost from her past that is offering her a second chance.
Can Meredith find her old fun self inside and take the risk? Does she have a submissive hidden inside?

Impressions and personal opinion

Violet Summers take the readers into a journey inside D/S and BDSM lifestyle. Meredith self-discovery and personal acceptance is very well explained and through out the book I have taken this path along with Meredith.

Meredith is a very well developed character. She is multidimensional and endearing.
Tony was a great character, but I felt that he preached things that he didn't do himself.

My one complain about the book was that Tony's overprotection was hypocritical to say the least,and because of it, I could not find myself given this book 5 stars.

I'm really looking forward to meet the next Worthington. From a brief glance at the end of this book, I might say he is into threesome. :)
