BLOG TOUR REVIEW ~THE WRIGHT ONE BY KA LINDE~

Title: The Wright One
Author: KA Linde
Series: The Wright Love Duet #2
Release Date: May 29, 2018

MY RATING: 5 STARS
A new sexy contemporary romance duet from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde…

Secrets swarm all around.
My world is crumbling under the strain.
I don’t know if we can survive this.
My heart is in the Wright place.
But is his?

The Wright One is the last book in the Wright Love Duet that began in The Wright Love. Find out if Sutton and David survive their world of secrets in the conclusion to the Wright Love duet!
After the doozy of a cliffhanger the Sutton and David were left one, these two need some major TLC. And boy, oh boy, did they get it. The Wright One is a perfectly angsty, seductive, and sweet closure to The Wright Love duet. I always said that Sutton deserved the happiest of endings, but after learning more about David, and honestly, what he and Sutton both put themselves and each other through, he deserves just as much of a happy ending as she does. 

This book offers so much, and you don't just get the closure for David and Sutton. There's a whole new chapter of their lives they have to fight through during the finale in the duet. But it's not all a fight. There are plenty of moments of pure fun, and passion, and warmth as well. It's really a full-package book and I loved living in David and Sutton's world for another round. 

A definitely must-read! I love the Wrights, and I am DEMANDING to get the cousins' stories, Penn's story and Katherine's story! I want them ALL!

Happy Reading!

He's my most delicious secret.

The hot Suit I had a one-night stand with one evening.

I didn't know anything about him, not even his name.

Only that we shared a taxi, and he was staying at the hotel where I worked.

We met in room 301. Where he commanded not only my body but my soul.

The next day he was gone and I only had a memory of him.

I could still taste his kisses, feel his demanding touch.

I searched for him for months. Daydreaming about him. Wondering if I'd ever find him.

Until the day I find myself staring face to face with his jeweled black eyes again.

He says lets keep it casual, and my heart knows that falling for this workaholic in a three-thousand-dollar suit is off the table.

Because he has a secret. One that's a deal breaker for me.

My Suit has a name.

Ian Ford.

And this is our story.

REVIEW ~GENT BY HARLOE RAE~

Title: Gent
Author: Harloe Rae
Release Date: May 30, 2018
Raven Elliot blasts into town like a wrecking ball—striking and devastating.
With a few simple words, my reliable routine crumbles to dust.

“Is this seat taken?”

I could close my eyes and let her voice wrap around me like a lover’s caress.
But this isn’t that kind of story.
And I’m sure as hell not that kind of man.

She hovers in my space, batting her lashes and smiling shyly.
The glimmer in her sapphire eyes is a promise of peace.
But I’m not falling for it.
And Raven doesn't take the hint.

What starts as a battle of wills, explodes into a turf war. 
She stands directly in my path everywhere I turn. 
No matter how hard I shove, she won’t budge. 
Raven seems dead set on driving me insane.
But I was here first. 
And I’m not going down easy.

After all, no one ever taught me how to treat a lady.
What can I say about Gent? This book is wickedly enticing, sexy and just plain amazing. Trey and Raven are the perfect enemies to lovers story. Trey is a gruff, ornery cuss, and Raven is a spitfire sweetheart. Together their push and shove, their tiptoeing to the brink of love, retreating and the back again, their easy and sweet affection... it all just makes this book that much more gripping and page-turning. 

I can’t tell you whether I love fighting Trey and Raven or lovey-dovey Trey and Raven more. They’re both equally fun to read. And they both show a side to Trey and Raven that we don’t see them display with others. Being together lures them both into different worlds, the worlds they’ve been fighting because of past traumas. But when they give in, their passion is explosive.

But as fun and as sexy as this book is, it’s also emotional. So emotional and angsty and it got me all torn up. 

I love this book. It’s got a little bit of everything and kept me interested from beginning to end. And I can’t wait for more from the secondary characters!!

Happy Reading!

“Listen, babe—”

She holds up her hand like a stop sign and for some reason, having her interrupt doesn’t bother me.

“Did you just babe me?” Her question is all sass.

“Sure did, sweetheart. Call ‘em like I see ‘em. Don’t pretend to be offended. We both know why you’re over here talking to me.”

Her face turns an adorable shade of pink. “First, stop with the nicknames. Second, are you for real? What the hell is wrong with you?”

“I don’t see any issue. You’re the one disrupting my quiet evening.”

“What the… I mean, seriously? I want to sit down and this is the only available spot. You honestly think I came over here to hit on you?”

Her ridiculous question doesn’t deserve a response. My glare matches hers as I silently explain my opinion on the matter. My expression must tell her everything she needs to know.

“Wow, you’re an asshole.”

“You’re the third woman to call me that tonight. Be careful, I might get a complex.”

“Aw, poor baby. I’d hate to dent your fragile ego,” she snips with a curl in her lip.

“There’s nothing fragile about me. Don’t worry. I’m hard and solid. Wanna feel?” I ask and pat my abs.

She nods to my hands. “No, thanks. I’d hate for you to rub off on me.”

“Does the grease under my nails bother you? Princess is afraid of getting a little dirty?”

“Do you get a rise out of being mean?”

I lean against the bar and cross my arms. “I don’t get many complaints. You’re not from around here, so I’ll fill you in—the ladies love me.”

“Pretty sure I saw Barbie McCleveage storm off after chatting with you. She didn’t look too satisfied.”

“Now who’s using nicknames? Jealous much?”

“Hardly,” she huffs. 

I smirk before checking out her rack, being extremely obvious about it. Pushing her buttons takes away the tension from earlier, replacing it with a surprising ease. Fighting with her is the most nonsexual fun I’ve had with a woman in a long time. Wonder how she’d react if I called her ma’am.
“All right, all right. You’ve broken me down. I was set on not having any company tonight, but for you, I’ll make an exception. If you insist on standing here, blabbing away, I’ve got far better uses for that luscious mouth. My place isn’t too far away,” I suggest while waggling my brows. My behavior is over the top, but what can I say? She’s bringing out the best in me.

Her lips part in shock. This stranger just stares at me, and I’m sure she’s about to turn away… or slap me. Either way, mission accomplished.

But this chick is full of surprises.

Harloe Rae is a Minnesota gal with a serious addiction to romance. She’s always chasing an epic happily ever after.

REVIEW ~THE DARKEST SUNRISE BY ALY MARTINEZ~

Title: The Darkest Sunrise
Author: Aly Martinez 
Series: The Darkest Sunrise Duet #1

MY RATING: 5+ STARS

***ON SALE FOR 99 CENTS FOR A LIMITED TIME***
Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.
Whoever coined that phrase is a bald-faced liar. Words are often the sharpest weapon of all, triggering some of the most powerful emotions a human can experience.
“You’re pregnant.”
“It’s a boy.” 
“Your son needs a heart transplant.”
Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.
Lies.
Syllables and letters may not be tangible, but they can still destroy your entire life faster than a bullet from a gun.
Two words—that was all it took to extinguish the sun from my sky.
“He’s gone.” 
For ten years, the darkness consumed me.
In the end, it was four deep, gravelly words that gave me hope of another sunrise. 
“Hi. I’m Porter Reese.”

I have never been more crushed, elated, or emotionally distraught while reading a book until this one. Aly Martinez, you are a wicked devil, and I bow down to the amazing world and epically real characters you created in this story.

I can’t say too much about the plot of this book, because I feel like anything could give something away, and there are A LOT of somethings to give away. Like WHOA. This book hurt me and saved me. Made me feel sad, angry, happy and blissful.

Porter and Charlotte are scarred. In beyond imaginable ways, these two human beings have been put through an onslaught of the impossible. But they’re still breathing. Barely. Charlotte holds on for the something that may never, or could never happen. But she waits, because that one thing is her whole world. Porter holds on the two children that need him. They go through the motions. But both of their emotional dams break, which is overdue for them both, when they’re faced with the cold and yet familiar reality they seen in each other’s eyes. That familiarity of being in the dark, wanting to stay there, and being suspended in the prison of your own mind. 

But that familiarity that broke through their defenses could break them even worse than they were before. Porter and Charlotte, and their whole entire world for that matter, could have never been ready for the heart-racing moments that follow after they meet. Moments of pure unadulterated lust, moments of not being able to move on, moments that unite and destroy families at the same time. While what I thought I knew with this book, did end up being somewhat accurate, I could have never anticipated the ledge it would leave me on. The precipice of good and bad, right and wrong. I am torn, and I don’t see a way out, but if Charlotte and Porter could take their broken pieces and make them as whole as possible for even a few stolen moments, there has to be a happy ending for them. They’re too right together. Physically and emotionally. But fate has not finished with its wicked little game it set in motion all those years ago. 

You cannot miss this book. I’m ashamed it took me this long to read it, but once I sat down, I rarely moved a muscle until I inhaled the entire duet. An emotionally gripping read, that tells a story of shattered hearts you will fall in love with and root for in every success and failure they have. The Darkest Sunrise is that book that will leave your world spinning. But trust me, it’s worth it. 

Happy Reading!

Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her four young children.

Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and baked feta. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person.

She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.
