I am complex.
My love is all-encompassing.
And when it comes to my heart, there is only one rule:
Don’t mess with what’s mine.

Until the age of seven, I was Joel Alexander Donovan, son of Jimmy.
The man who terrorized a town and made its citizens fear
the very ground he walked on. Including me,
the day I realized that ground ran red with blood.

At age eighteen, I became Priest.
A man without a past.
A man determined to right the wrongs of my father.
A man who never believed anyone could love the son of such a monster.

But then a thief stole my heart.
A sweetheart lit up my world.
And I forgot for a moment you should never turn your back on your enemy.

And thus begins a lesson to those who would seek to harm: Never underestimate what the Priest will do to protect the Princess and the Prick.

Everyone said our love wouldn’t work.
That it was too hard, too complicated, too messy.
Oh how I enjoy proving everyone wrong.

My men are smart, sexy, sophisticated—
and most of all, crazy about me.
The only problem is trying to explain
that to my big, opinionated Italian family.

But after all we’ve been through, we deserve a
happily ever after. And if there’s one
thing I know about my guys, they always
manage to have a few surprises up their sleeves.

my rate overall

I have to admit that I have no idea why I haven't review these two books when I'm pretty sure I have read them more than two times. I loved the whole idea of Robbie having a happily ever after with these two perfect guys called Priest and Prick.

Every book in this series focus on one person of this trio, so I was very excited to read about Priest. I knew shit was going to hit the fan in a bad way after the end of Julien. I couldn't put down the book, okay? And after that, I read it all over again like two times. If the other books were romance packed, this one had action and a whole lot of backstory from when Joel was growing up. Seeing Joel torn because his past finally caught up him and in the most horrible way he can think possible was devastating, really. But having the help of someone that was very unexpected and Robbie made everything perfect. In the end, the Priest was saved thanks to a Princess.

Now, The Princess, the Prick & the Priest is a book of the three of them coming together. No more skeletons in the closet and just making their lives fit together in the most beautiful way possible. Reading this book is like a breath of fresh air. I felt like I was actually reading a whole book of Epilogue, even though the Epilogue in this book is super sweet. I enjoy every romance, hilarious, and deep scene in this book. I ate it all and came out as happy as if someone told me that I won the lottery.

Ella Frank writes well. Good. Perfection. She is and will be an author that will be on my sights for future books just so I can read them. Beware that she loves cliffhangers, so I recommend you to read the whole series instead of just one book. I enjoyed this series and recommend it wholeheartedly.

[Review] Tragic, by: Devney Perry

Lark Cove #3

TRAGIC

Kaine Reynolds wants nothing more than solitude. After an unthinkable tragedy destroys his family, he’s cut off all ties to his former life so he can battle his grief the only way he knows how.

Alone.

So when Piper Campbell knocks on his door, rambling on about being his new neighbor, he slams the door in her face.
But Kaine’s gruff demeanor doesn’t scare her. She’s set on living in Montana and starting over after a terrible divorce. And she wouldn’t mind having a fling to chase away the pain of her husband’s betrayal. Her handsome, albeit rude, neighbor is the perfect candidate.

Yet what neither of them suspect is that their no-strings affair will result in the surprise of Piper’s lifetime—and Kaine’s worst fear.

my rate

Boy, I got destroyed just reading the prologue. There is no more worse intro than that.

After that most full of sorrow chapter that I have ever read, came chapter that based this book and how was going to go. Piper is a girl that we have heard before, but Kaine was a curveball that I did not see coming. The tension between these two could be knifed so bad. But both of them were burned and didn’t want to be “more”, until “more” was the only thing they could be.

The author wrote the pain, the anger and the sorrow so good that I almost cried for Kaine. His mother keeps saying that everything was a tragic accident and I couldn’t be more in tune with her. I give kudos to Piper for being as strong and as patient as she was in the book. Everything was tough, but she was tougher… and with humor too. I laughed way too much in this book, even though there was a bunch of sadness.

I don’t really want to spoil much, so I’ll leave this here. There was a little glimpse of the next book and I cannot wait to read about the spoiled brat of Logan’s sister and the sexy new bartender that I have yet to meet. As always, I recommend. Sweet ending.

Willa Doon has always been shy. Her quiet demeanor was something she’s always embraced. That is, until Jackson Page moves to town. The one man she desperately wants to take notice struggles to remember her name.

Year after year, Willa stands by, watching as the bartender slash playboy drowns his demons in beer and sex. Then one night, he shows up at her door, suddenly aware that the girl he’s seen around Lark Cove is now a beautiful woman.

Except what he doesn’t remember is that this visit isn’t his first. They spent a night together once before. A night he’s forgotten, thanks to a bottle of tequila.

A night that crushed a timid girl’s heart, and set a broken man on the path to heal them both.

my rate

Devney Perry is an author I found my accident on Goodreads. Someone read a book by her, I got curious and research that book and its series, read them and everything else is history. I have been reading her most recent works and I still love her words as much as I did when I read the first book. This time around, Lark Cove is the setting and by the descriptions of it, I wish I could see it all.

The characters in this book are mentioned in the book before so it was no surprise to know how this one was going to start and end, now the route was going to be a different one. Willa has always been in love with Jackson, first sight love and she swore to someday marry him. Years later, she still has the same crushed on him, until one night he ventures to her door, kisses her and the forgets her the next day. Willa swears off of him until he finally sees her and wants everything with her. Obviously, she says no, the rest is for you to read.

I loved to read how Willa, a very timid and shy girl gets the courage to fight for what is right and for what she wants, which is Jackson, her one and only. I loved to read how a tough man would go to his knees for something he deems unworthy but still selfishly wants because he needs it. The story got good spins. It did not rip my heart and left me in a happy pills vibe for the rest of the night. I recommend, as always.

[Review] Wild Like the Wind, by: Kristen Ashley

Chaos #5

WILD LIKE THE WIND

Genre: Romance, Contemporary, Adult

The brother known as Hound has a reputation. He’s all about cracking heads, having a good time, and when the Chaos Motorcycle Club needs someone to do the tough job, they call on him.

But Hound has a secret. He fell in love with a woman years ago. She’s untouchable. Unattainable. And even when her status changes, for Hound, it remains the same.

Keely Black had it all early and lost it all not long after. Thrown into an abyss of loss and grief, she’s faced a life of raising two sons alone and battling the rage at all that had been ripped from them.

And why.

Words spoken in anger open Hound’s and Keely’s eyes. For Hound, he sees he’s wasted his life loving the wrong woman. Keely sees she’s wasting her life not opening herself to the love of a good man.

my rate

I swear that I dunno what I'm going to do with my heart anytime I read a book of KA. She shreds my hearts to pieces (in her defense, she does put it back together at the end) always. Her books always have a happy ending, but damn the road is a horrible one. And her Chaos MC series is no exception.

From the moment that I read Motorcycle Man, which still my fave book hands down of KA, I got caught in the Chaos MC world and I didn't want to let go. Now I am a book away from the end and I' suffering as much as I did reading this book. The book before the end. The book that started what Chaos is now, not a gang, but a good vigilante motorcycle club.

Now this book, their main characters' predicament could be seen for a mile away. I knew that everything that happened with Black (in the past) was a rough spot in the MC history, so opening that wound a little in this book was hard for everyone. But is Keely that we are talking about here. That woman is as tough as the men. I was more concerned about Hound because he was an open wound for eighteen years and when his dreams are finally coming true, it might be a little harder than he thought it was.

I also love to see the gushy sides of every man in the series. This time Hound had a secret that made me melt inside out. He is totally a teddy bear in the inside, no matter how much blood he has spilled. He always does everything for good and I will always trust him.

Without much ado about nothing, I just recommend you to read the series and forget everything that you are thinking about MC. Just read this one and you will not like to read about no one else.

One week. No future. No past. No more.

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as "Charli," she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined. With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.

"Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”

Lennox "Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive--he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one:

One week. No more.

When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

"Is it really cheating if you're doing it to yourself?"

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants, and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha Romig twists, turns, deceptions, and devotions, this new epic contemporary romance will have readers swooning one minute and screaming the next. Have you been Aleatha'd?

BETRAYAL is a full-length novel and the first of five in the INFIDELITY series.

This series isn't about cheating.

my rate

I have been obsessing these days reading MC books, so I really thought that I needed a breather and this series caught my eye a long time ago… I guess I took the leap and read this book, the first, Betrayal.

The story of Alex Collins, who has a longer name but I really will get tired by writing it, is definitely a still confusing for me. I’m trying to pierce thins together with the little I have read about her. But the biggest mystery is Nox, who we do not know his last name till the end of the book. They made the rule of not knowing anything about themselves while they were in Del Mar together for that week. A very marked regret from both sides, I’m sure.

Usually, I hate the back and forth between past and present, so I was totally annoying to find how this book was structured. But I think the suspense happening in one time with the other things happening in another part of the storyline keep me in check, and reading. I have to confess that reading it from Alex’s POV was a little exasperating because she thinks more than she says, which is totally not me in real life. So I totally hated when people bulldoze everything she actually had to say.

It really threw me off the whole Infidelity company when the time came up, but it did not surprise me that Nox was going to be totally into it. This will get interesting and I’m totally in for the next twists. Something I have to learn shortly starting this book is that every twist connects and sometimes you will not even notice one is coming. I yearn to learn more about Nox and read more his side of the story in the next books that I will read right away.

Have I been Aleatha’d? Certainly. Should you? Hell yeah.
