**** Guys I'm so sorry I haven't reviewed in a while! The whole first half of July I was once again in a major book slump! I hate them so much. What do you do when you're in a slump?****

Description: Sinning never felt so good… 


A fortuitous encounter. 

A meeting that should never have happened. 

Many years ago, two children from completely different worlds forged a connection, a fateful connection, an unbreakable bond that would change their lives forever… 

Salome knows only one way to live—under Prophet David’s rule. In the commune she calls home, Salome knows nothing of life beyond her strict faith, nor of life beyond the Fence—the fence that cages her, keeps her trapped in an endless cycle of misery. A life she believes she is destined to always lead, until a horrific event sets her free. 

Fleeing the absolute safety of all she has ever known, Salome is thrust into the world outside, a frightening world full of uncertainty and sin; into the protective arms of a person she believed she would never see again. 

River ‘Styx’ Nash knows one thing for certain in life—he was born and bred to wear a cut. Raised in a turbulent world of sex, Harleys, and drugs, Styx, unexpectedly has the heavy burden of the Hades Hangmen gavel thrust upon him, and all at the ripe old age of twenty-six—much to his rivals’ delight. 

Haunted by a crushing speech impediment, Styx quickly learns to deal with his haters. Powerful fists, an iron jaw and the skillful use of his treasured German blade has earned him a fearsome reputation as a man not to be messed with in the shadowy world of outlaw MC’s. A reputation that successfully keeps most people far, far away. 

Styx has one rule in life—never let anyone get too close. It’s a plan that he has stuck to for years, that is, until a young woman is found injured on his lot… a woman who looks uncannily familiar, a woman who clearly does not belong in his world, yet a woman he feels reluctant to let go… 

So this book was my first Tillie Colle book. I was lucky enough to meet her in April at a book signing and picked this particular book up! My sister told me I had to read it and boy was she right! 

I don't usually read MC books *Though I have no idea why not.....*  I instantly fell in love with the sexy Hangman Styx. He is everything you want in a book boyfriend and more. 

The start of this book is a flash back to when Styx and Mae are children  its an instant connection between them. Fast forward and poor Mae is attempting to leave her "commune" lets just say its purely a cult and nothing else.  After escaping she finds herself in the den of none other than the Hangmen. She is found by The Hangman Mute (styx)  When she wakes up he is so happy to see the Girl with the wolf eyes. He has been thinking about her for the last 15 years. *Feel free to swoon here* 

“Mae was mine. Fifteen long years of wanting her to be mine, and here she sat, curled up in my arms – a fuckin’ angel in hell.” 

He is happy to have her there, but she's terrified because the simple cult life is all she's used too. She sees everything the Hangmen  are doing as a sin. *Which just leads them to be more sexy.* She finds a fast friend in one of the other Hangmen Rider. *I make no comments other than hes hot and be ready for the "Ride" of your life with Rider.* 

“Styx was sin; Rider was peace.” 

As the book goes on Mae realizes that her love for Styxs is stronger than all the brainwashing the Cult did to her. “Because if Styx was damned to hell, so was I. I would follow him into the fire.” 

  And when she gets taken from Styx's he will do whatever it takes to get her back to him. 

This book was full of amazing romance and sexy men. I fell in love with several of the characters and was so happy to find out the had books in this series as well.  Seriously if you are in need of a new book boyfriend who will blow all of the other ones out of the water go get this book! 

“It’s me babe... Ain’t no other man for you... but me.” 

I have already finished the second book in this series and I'm onto the third. I am beyond in love with this series. I love these Hangmen I wish I could be with all of them ;)

Scarlet book review

Scarlet
By Marissa Meyer
512 pages
5 out of 5 stars
Buy it here: Amazon

Description: Cinder is back and trying to break out of prison―even though she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive if she does―in this second installment from Marissa Meyer.

Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother, or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother's whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana.~

~*~ Spoilers ahead! ~*~

So after I read Cinder, I was a tad leery of this book because I found Cinder a tad slow. I was worried that I would have issues with the rest of the series. Boy was I proven wrong! I've never been so glad to be wrong about a book before. Scarlet is high up on my favorite books list. And it is my top book of 2016 so far. 

Scarlet our main character is the personification  of Red Riding Hood. And this is one of my favorite versions of this story. Scarlet is a total bad ass and when her Grandma goes missing she's on the case!  When she meets Wolf. She's leery of him and for good reasons. But when he offers to help her find her Grandma how can she say no?

Wolf is mysterious strong and oh so yummy. He is high up on my list for favorite book boyfriend. He does everything he can to help and protect Scarlet. Of course he has a deep secret. And I for one can say I never saw it coming.  Finding out he was in fact a part of the Lunar Army had me staring at the page for several long moments. I was so afraid of what was going to happen between him and Scarlet. 

I never thought of Red being a BA character, but she pulled it off. Her skills with electronics and just surviving in general amaze me. 

When she learns secrets that could change all of Lunar she has to hope she can keep those secrets safe.  When she finds out that her Grandmother not only helped save Cinder the princess of Lunar. But she hid her for a long while until they could place her somewhere safe. Her Grandma was one of my favorite characters and I will miss her.

Marissa Meyer knows how to write twists and turns. She knows how to grab her reader and shout "Come on an adventure with me!"

I love her writing and I am so excited to read the rest of this series. It has hit a home in my heart and its a world I will revisit. I am so excited for Marissa's other books coming out soon. 

All in all this book is so worth the read. I highly recommend it.

Inevitable Ascension book review

Inevitable Ascension
By: V.K. McAllister
236 pages
3 out of 5 stars
Buy it here: Amazon

Description:
The innocent never waver from doing what’s right, even if it means drowning the world in fire. 

Violina had been burned and betrayed by mankind ever since she had sprung into existence. They named her a heretic and condemned her to a pit to live and die in agony. Though she sat stranded, starved and bloodied, she would not submit. Violina, the girl who had been mocked and hunted for rejecting the warped ideals of artificial authority, would lay down her own law. 

Inevitable Ascension — A rapid-fire action/adventure novel packed with wit, humor and a host of twists that will literally make your brain explode! Actually, not literally. Otherwise that would be really gross.



I really wish I could have given this book more stars, but I had a hard time getting into it. It took me a few tries to finish it. I don't normally read SiFi but since Cinder I wanted to try more. And this book had an amazing premise but I just didn't feel it. 

Our two main characters Violina and Lux are basically bounty hunters. We start off with them breaking into a museum type place stealing a creature. They had gotten jipped in their payment. So they were just getting their reward. I loved this scene. It was a fun adventure to go on. 

I loved that it included time travel which reminded me a lot of Doctor Who. Which is one of my favorite shows. 
The fact that a husband and wife duo wrote this book made me love it. 

I did enjoy this book, and I hope to re read it again. And maybe then I will be deeper into the SiFi world and will appreciate this book as it should be. 

Fighting Temptation book review

Fighting Temptation

5 out of 5 stars

Description: Ilyanna Sicliano's never had an easy life. Everything from school to her career she's encountered major problems, until one day she gets a huge break. Leaving the life she knew and despised behind her in Tennessee, she takes a risk for a new job in Boston. 

Braydon O'Donnell has it all, the perfect accounting business and the best of friends. Bachelor life's been the way for Braydon since college. But when he hires Ilyanna to be his new personal assistant as a favor to a college buddy, he begins to second guess himself. 

Could this be the life changing break for her? As sparks fly he begins to wonder if he's going to be able to keep it strictly professional. 

18+ sexual content

This book was a fun ride. I started it and I was instantly hooked on the characters. Ily soon became one of my favorite female characters. She is spunky and fun. She's been hurt in the past, we are left with a mystery but I enjoyed that. Then we meet Braydon. And hello yummy book boyfriend! He too has been hurt and his walls are up. needless to say I wanted to bring down his walls. 

Ily is looking for a job after her big move with her best friend. And who happens to have a job for her? Braydon of course. They both social media stalk each other and are instantly hooked on each other. The heat and sparks start to fly. 

Braydon tries to fight it, he doesn't want to get hurt again and he is afraid of making things awkward.

That doesn't sit well with Ily. She decides that if he wants to play games so will she. And so comes the game of who will cave to the sexual tension first. 

Dressing up and flirting made it so much fun. 

When they finally cave, they go at it hot and heavy quickly. And I loved it! It was just the right amount of dirty to keep me entertained. 

The romance in this book made me so giddy. I loved how the characters meshed. 

The book its self was a quick paced book, a summer read. This is a book to grab over the weekend and stay hidden until you have taken in every dirty moment.

Tiffany is an amazing writer and an Indie one that should be followed.  

Cinder Book Review

Cinder
By Marissa Meyer 
Pages: 448
Book 1 of the Lunar Chronicles.
3 out of 5 stars
Buy it here: Amazon


Description

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth's fate hinges on one girl. . . .

Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She's a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai's, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world's future.

So I didn't love this book but I didn't hate it either. This is the first real SiFi book I've read. It was an interesting twist on Cinderella.  Our main character Cinder is a cyborg and she of course has the evil step mother and step sisters. She got  lucky and has one nice step sister. Sadly that doesn't last long. 

The main love interest is of course the Prince. His name is Kai. I absolutely adored him! I wish there had been more on the romance side of these characters. But I feel like it may pick up the rest of the series. 

I found this book to have a really slow start. It took me forever to get into it. Around the middle of the book it actually started to pick up which I'm glad it did. There were a lot of similarities to the original story. There were a few moments I kept waiting to happen that didn't but that's okay. There were a few twists and I managed to guess the big one. But I am glad I did because it made the ending better. I really like how this book turned out. I did find that it ended on a major cliffhanger. When I got to the end I was ready to jump right into Scarlet. 

I am really excited to read the rest of this series and see the other twist and turns this book will take. 

The dreaded reading slump!

Hey guys!
So I'm so sorry I haven't done a review in ages!! I know I'm horrible. So here's the deal. I've hit a reading slump! I can't seem to focus on books which is the worst! I hate it! So what I'm going to try and do this week is go through my kindle and find some of the books I have read over the past few years and start reviewing those! 


I may also start doing some just bookish blogging stuff! Because why not. I hate leaving this page empty for so long. 


So lets see question time!!!

What do you do when you're in a reading slump?

For me the last few weeks I have been coloring a lot! I love to color so when I can't read you will find me coloring. 

So what do you do???

So this is a side bar from my normal reviews, but I really want to share what this weekend was like for me.

Emerald City Author Event was a one day convention where I got to meet a TON of Authors. And let me just say this right now I can't wait for next year!

My first stop was JA Huss because she was kind enough to give out one free copy of one of her books. And I read her book 18 a while ago so I knew I liked her work.JA Huss I can not wait to read her new book I got.

The next big line I waited in was Tillie Cole and I LOVE HER! She is so sweet and her love for Harry Potter made me love her even more. I told her about my book House on the Hill and shes going to check it out which was amazing!  Tillie Cole
