Review By Louise
This was a new author to me to read.  I confess I haven't read any of the other MC series that this follows on from but even though I hadn't I did not find for one second myself being confused at all.  This I found could be read as a seperate series with no issues at all.  However now I find myself wanting to read the other series now because if they are like this one I will love them I'm sure!

Ava is the strong daughter of a MC president.  And she is living her life the way she wants to.  Until one fateful night that she is dragged so far down she cannot get back up.  That very same night she meets her knight with a police badge, Lucas.  Can Lucas stop her from drowning?

Lucas is an esteemed detective who after some tragic circumstances throws himself into his work.  Until one night he comes across a damsel in distress.  She needs him and as it turns out he needs her too.

Can they save eachother??

I absoutely loved this book.  I gasped, I cried, I screamed at my kindle.  I love MC reads so I kinda knew I would love it anyways.  This is your typical MC read with drama and violence with hot sex and romance thrown in the mix.  A fantastic read that I would recommend and now I am going to read all the other MC books by this author.

Excerpt

I take a fistful of her hair and pull her closer, wanting to lick every inch of her mouth. Her taste is intoxicating and makes me want to do sinful things to her body. My cock is already painfully hard, nudging against my pants, practically begging to be taken out and played with.

I’ve wanted this since I first laid eyes on her. It’s so fucking bad, but I can’t get enough of the way she looks at me with those innocent eyes. She’s a vixen, and she knows it. She spins us all around her little finger, and I love it.

Marcus stands behind her, grabbing her waist, only to push her closer to me. He kisses her shoulder, neck, and back as I kiss her. Between us, she smolders with heat and desire that’s impossible to ignore.

I let my hands roam freely over her body, squeezing her tits and tugging her nipples until she squirms and moans into my mouth. I smile against her lips and continue to kiss her, knowing that my touch drives her crazy. I know how to please a woman. I’ve been taught for so long, I could never forget.

But fuck me, is this something else.

We’re kissing her both, sandwiching her between us like some sex-crazed cavemen.

“Show her how much you want her,” Marcus growls, setting his teeth into her skin.

She gasps as he leaves a gentle bite mark, and I take her nipple into my mouth and suck hard, then nibble a little, setting her skin on fire.

She moans out loud, and I return to her face to capture the sound.

“Yes, make those sounds, Ava. Show us how much you want us too,” Marcus growls.

He slides his hand between her legs as I kiss her, and I can tell from the way she’s panting into my mouth that he’s flicking her clit so hard she could come right there and then. God, I’d do it just for that look of pure pleasure on her face. It’s magnificent. Something to behold. Something special I can’t place, but I feel it deep down in my heart. I need this woman. Right now.

However, I don’t get the chance to make a move because Marcus just grabbed a bottle of lube and positioned himself behind her, squirting it all over her and himself. He parts her legs, grabbed his cock, and shoved it up her ass.

She mewls out loud, her head tipping back as he grips her hair. I do the only thing I can think of. I kiss her neck, toying with her nipples as he pounds her ass again and again. Her eyes connect with mine, desperation and need seeping through until I feel nothing but the desire to satisfy her every craving. So I keep kissing her over and over until she can barely breathe.

I watch him bring his fingers back to her pussy, flicking her clit as he fucks her in the ass.

“You’re so wet, Ava. Is it because you’re kissing him?” he whispers. “Or is it because I’m fucking your tight ass?”

“Yes,” she moans, and her admission only makes me harder. “Both.”

“I bet you’d like to come all over my hand, don’t you?”

His dirty talking even has me shivering as I kiss her lips.

“Oh, God, yes,” she says, shuddering.

“Daniel wants you too, Ava … He wants to fuck your pretty little mouth while I claim your ass …”

“Yes … both of you.”

“Both of us at the same time, fucking your holes until you can no longer stand,” he groans.

She gasps. “Yes.”

Fuck me.

I thought my cock couldn’t get any harder, but apparently, it could.

It’s about to burst out of my pants, so I throw all my restraint out the window and tear down my pants, allowing my cock to spring free from its constraints.

And good God … the way she looks down at it, blinking rapidly, licking the top of her lips … it makes me want to bend her over and fuck her next.

“See how hard he is for you? It’s all for you, Ava.”

“But Master …” She swallows, gazing at my length and then back up at my eyes. “Are you sure this is okay?”

“Ava … you both belong to me.” His eyes glint with thirst as he licks her skin like an animal. “Now … Bend over.”






Review By Louise

I thought the concept of this book was rather intruguing.  It's not often that I get to read dark reads, I've read more recently than I ever have and I am rather enjoying them!!  I must have a sadistic brain that likes to see characters suffer!

I absolutely fell in love with the characters.
  Ava because she was so innocent and raw.  I just felt so much for her and all she had been through it was harrowing to read. 

 Daniel much the same as Ava he went through so much in his young years and it was soul destroying.  

And Marcus, the master that was so torn up inside about his past and the decisions he had been forced to take and things he had been forced to do.  So he decided to make things right, to atone for his mistakes.

The sex scenes are very hot in this especially the ones that include the three of them together!! Lovers of M/F/M will certainly enjoy that.

Clarissa keeps you guessing right till the end and trust me it will not end the way you think it will.  Oh no it twists and turns and throws you about in your seat like you are in a rollercoaster!  

I found this a very imaginative, dark, harrowing, sexy read that shocked the life out of me with certain revelations that even I didn't see coming and I am usually very good with that!

REVIEW - Fears and Scars by Emily Krat - REVIEW BY LOUISE


I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I delved straight into this book after finishing book 1, I literally could not wait to find out what happens next for Elizabeth and Ryan especially after the way book 1 ended.

WOW there was moments in this book when I wanted to shout "WHAT THE F**K???"" And I wished that Ryan could step outside the pages so I could slap him into next week!!  I mean come on!!!  I'm not giving anything away in this review because it will ruin it.

As well as the screaming I also cried a lot reading this.  I had already fell in love with the characters in book 1 and to see Elizabeth go through the things she has to in this one just broke my heart.

Beautifully written story even if it is a little confusing as to why it was written the way it was.

REVIEW - Flawed and Damaged by Emily Krat - REVIEWED BY LOUISE


Elizabeth and Ryan meet eachother by mistake, a mistake that is about to change both their lives forever.....

This is a beautiful love story, well it turns into one.  For what seems like a long time both the characters dance around their feelings because they are both flawed and damaged and scared of their feelings.  

Honestly though sometimes I feel like I want to slap Ryan, its like ffs grow up man!!  He's such a typical bloke, scared of speaking about his feelings.  

Overall though I love that both of the characters have so much emotional baggage, it really made this book an interesting read not knowing which way it would go.  And if I'm honest even the irritation of the sheer stupidity of Ryan made it an interesting read too.  

I was really lucky that I was able to delve straight into book 2 after finishing

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - Paradise Fought: Abel by L.B.Dunbar




Title: Paradise Fought: Abel
Series: Paradise #1
Author: L.B. Dunbar
Genre: Contemporary New Adult Romance/MMA
 Release Date: January 25, 2016



Blurb

I'm not a fighter.
I was born into a fighting family. As the middle child, I was overlooked in favor of my older brother.
He took the negative attention, too. In comparison, there's nothing special about me.
I’m not as big as Cobra. I’m not as strong as Cobra. He's the alpha.
I'm a beta.
The second son.
The lesser one.
The one never encouraged to fight, never encouraged to do anything, but stay out of my father’s way.

I'm not a lover either - but I wished to be – that’s why I needed her.
I met a girl in the pouring rain.
Sounds cliché, but it's true. It changed everything.
Because of love, I learned to fight.

Betas come second, but in this fight, my story is first.

Excerpt

If I thought I was going to make a speedy getaway, I was wrong. My savior caught up to me, half way down the walk, outside the finance building. He was quick and a large hand wrapped around my upper arm.

“Whoa, sister,” he said, slightly out of breath. “You almost got away from me again.”

“What?” I questioned. I had no idea what he meant: again.

“Never mind,” he muttered, his hand still on me. I looked down at it and he immediately released me. My eyes pinched as I realized I didn’t mind his hand on my skin. There was something nonthreatening about him. He seemed rather innocent, studious, actually. His shirt was buttoned almost to the top and tucked into his pants. The sleeves secure at the cuffs. His jeans were snug and hugged him well. He wore dark rimmed glasses that screamed smart. Brown boots looked too new on his large feet. It was like he had the right parts but the wrong combination.

His blue eyes were soft and easy to look into. They practically spoke to me, but I had no idea what he was saying. His dark hair was disheveled, a bit shaggy, but cool looking. He kind of looked like a pop star, which was a little too sugar sweet for me. His form was questionable. It was hard to tell what kind of body he had under those clothes. He looked rather preppy, like half the guys at this university. I didn’t want to think about it. I’d just sold my soul for another semester.

“So when do you want to do this?” I asked. His blank stare told me he had no idea what I meant.

“Us,” I said, pointing between him and me.

“I…” His voice trailed off as he gawked at me. His expression changed from confusion to shock.

“I didn’t buy you to sleep with you,” he said, a touch of disbelief in his voice. His face turned crimson, then fell. “Why, have you done that before?” It was my turn to be surprised and offended.

I turned on my heels and began stomping away from him. He was too quick and he caught me again. His hand on my arm halted me. This time he didn’t release me when I peered down at his fingers wrapped around my bicep.

“Look. I need help,” he blurted. His face pinked a little, and it was sweet. “I don’t need help with sex. I need help with before.” His tone dropped, and he looked side to side to see if anyone would hear him. I took his meaning.

“You don’t know how to do foreplay?” I questioned in a loud whisper, trying to hide my astonishment. How could anyone have sex and not know a touch of foreplay?

His face pinked again.

“Not that,” he said, sounding like a child. “The flirting. The dating. The…other stuff.”

I was stunned. I stared at him, taking in his features again. He was kind of cute, leaning toward the potential for good looking. He couldn’t possibly need help with this request. The confusion on my face made him speak.

“I don’t know how to flirt.” The words swirled between us.

“I don’t understand.” I didn’t. I didn’t know what he wanted from me.

“I need lessons how to be…cool: with girls. Call it a tutoring session. I need to learn how to be…seen.” His voice took on a touch of sadness. He couldn’t possibly be serious. I continued to stare at him. My mouth might have actually dropped open a bit, and I noticed he was watching my lips. It was a little exciting the way he stared at them. I licked them and his pupils dilated, filling in more black over the blue. His expression changed. Knowingly, he blinked when he realized I was teasing him. His lip quirked up and a dimple showed in his cheek.

“I need to date you,” he blurted. “To learn how to do, what you just did to me.”

REVIEW

This isn't the first book I have read by this author but it is very different to the other books I have read by her.

This book seems to focus on three people until you find out that Betta and Abel are the very same person.  Abel is struggling to live in his Dad and Brother's shadows.  Constantly being compared to them makes him doubt in himself, can he actually be better than them?

One rainy night Abel meets Elma, he never sees her again until he realises shes at his college.  Fate seems to bring them back together and the story continues on from there.

Elma has serious problems and she needs to get a fighter on her side so she can investigate the death of her fighter brother.  Even she didn't see this attraction coming.

Wow as expected L.B.Dunbar pulls another amazing blinder with this book.  A cross between MMA and NA college romance this is a combination that is explosive and entertaining.  Well written with sturdy characters with unusual names.  I don't often read MMA books but this is one of a few that I have most definetly enjoyed.

A fantastic book thats full of drama and love, who says a fighter cannot be a lover at the same time??
