Review: A Little Band of Red

A Little Band of Red by Lily Freeman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had kind of a love/hate relationship with this book. On one hand parts of it were hot and I enjoyed the characters and on the other hand I wanted to punch both the MCs for doing/allowing her to be hurt. Im so not into the hardcore pain.

I enjoy BDSM books. Okay, let me rephrase that. I enjoy light BDSM books. Tie her up, spank her, nipple clamp her, yank her hair, flog her and I can even deal with canning. But I have a little bit of an issue when the hero wants to make the girl cry and leave marks of pain on her body. This is the first book that I have read where the hero was an actual sadist. I was okay with it when there was a little bit of pain and PJ just kind of dealt with it but I hated that Luke insisted that it's what she truly wanted. Bleh. I always have fixed feelings with submission. I'm the type of girl where if anyone tells me what I want, ill do the complete opposite. And I am SO NOT into pain. So i struggled with that in this book. There were times that I cringed in sympathy pains. Also there was a scene with hot chocolate and the whole time I thought god that would ruin chocolate for me. Pain does not equal yummy food.

The whole book I wanted her to leave Luke and hook up with Mika and Elliott.

What I really loved about the book was the characters. I liked see PJ kind of develop into her own person. We don't get a lot of info about her ex but we can tell that he was a douche and I liked seeing her overcome that and find a guy that more suited her.. Even though I'm not 100% convinced that Luke is her perfect guy but I LOVE him when he isn't pushing her too far. Although really she should have safe worded that shit.

I can not wait for the next book! I have to see what happens next!! I want to see if she actually is into all the pain or if she is just dealing with it for Luke. It's gonna be gooooood!

Review: A Certain Wolfish Charm

A Certain Wolfish Charm by Lydia Dare
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the first half of this book quite a lot. But then it went downhill, it went downhill very quickly. Once they get married, we find out that Simon is a dirtbag. Let's list the

1. He had a mistress on her way to his house. Thats whatever I guess. They got married fast and he forgot. okay I can get over that but what I can't get over is him trying to hid the fact that the mistress was throwing herself at him. she gave him a key, he hid that too. OH AND he went up to her room to tell her that he wanted nothing to do with her... bitch please. you dO NOT go up to your mistress room and lie to your wife about it.
2. He takes her out in public when he knows that the ton is talking and laughing about her and he didn't even give her a heads up. Thats just rude.
3. He takes her to a dress shop to get her a new wardrobe. Thats sweet right. Except thats where he takes all of his mistress to get outfitted. Again he didn't feel the need to give her a heads up or idk take her to a different effing shop.
4. He lies constantly. He has a huge secret that he doesn't want her to know about.. but he really shouldn't have married her with this secret hanging out there because now he is lying to her on a daily basis.

Theres more I'm sure but those are the ones that I got like extremely pissed about. Whats worse is that Lily, the stupid cow, just instantly forgives him. She gets mad but doesn't stick to it.

I honestly picked up this book because Westfield is my hometown and when I saw Westfield wolves I got super excited. I wasn't expecting too much but like I said I really loved the first half of the book. The second half was so bad though that it kind of ruined the whole thing for me. I hate Simon.

Review: Perfect Chaos

Perfect Chaos by Nashoda Rose
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

Just NO. Why is this book getting such great reviews? WHY? The female lead talks like she's 14 trying to impress an older boy. It's annoying and desperate and I want to punch her in the face. I hate that I actually spent money on this.. granted it was 99 cents but still! Thats a large soda from McDonalds! I only got to about 15% into the book but I refuse to waste anymore time on this.

Review: Seduce Me at Sunrise

Seduce Me at Sunrise by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I am having a hard time rating this book. I wish I would have gotten the audiobook. I think I would have enjoyed it more. I liked the characters. I love the Hathaway family as a whole. I did not like how Kev refused to be with Win. They both loved each other. They both openly admitted that but for stupid reasons one Kev could understand, he wouldn't marry her. This is the struggle for most of the book. Win throws herself at him and he responds at first but then pushes her away. I really don't enjoy that kind of book. I also thought that book was long. But that could be because I really didn't like it all that much.

The writing was fantastic. The characters were all well developed. I just didn't like how the couple was towards each other. It took too long for Kev to get over himself and marry her. Ill read the next book eventually. Right now I am on a historical romance kick and it's hard for me to find HR that I can even get somewhat into. So ill defiantly give this series another try.

Review: Nice Girls Don't Live Forever

Nice Girls Don't Live Forever by Molly Harper
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I really didn't like this book all that much. Jane is funny but she is also kind of stupid. Gabriel's big secret, the one that almost ruined his relationship because he refused to tell Jane, was ridiculous. He said he didn't want to tell her because he was protecting her and he was embarrassed and thats complete bullshit. I HATED Gabriel in this book. I know I'm in the minority because I have read a few reviews and everyone seems to love him and I'm over here like.. wtf is wrong with people.

Don't even get me started on the sex scene against the building. Gabriel hadn't talked to her in weeks, he shows up kisses her forehead and Jane forgets all about their many, many problems and lets him screw her against a wall. Oh and they both know that there is a crazy chick out there stalking Jane, taking pictures of her but that doesn't matter.

Honestly there wasn't a whole lot I enjoy about this one. Even Jane's quips couldn't save it for me. I was so annoyed with Jane and Gabriel that I couldn't enjoy the humor.

Review: Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men

Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men by Molly Harper
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Is it just me or is Gabriel kind of a d-bag in this book? Or maybe I have trust issues? That might be it. But when a guy you are semi dating tells you he loves you and then doesn't return your calls for 2 days and he goes off for a week without calling and he won't tell you what he's doing and he's not staying in the places he tells you... yeah thats sketchy to me. But hey to each their own.

This book was funny. Jane is a hilarious characters but I just didn't like it as much as I liked the first book. I honestly don't like her relationship with Gabriel. It was obvious what was going on with Zeb from the start. Dick is becoming a love sick vampire. And I really, really didn't care about he wedding. All the pages about planning the wedding were boring! Some of her inner dialogue was funny but totally not worth reading.

I'm obviously going to keep going in the series.. why not the books are short and Jane is funny.

Review: Savage Urges

Savage Urges by Suzanne Wright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another girl crush. Suzanne Wright knows how to write awesome female characters. I also loved Ryan. I have been hoping that he would get his own book. I like the silent guys. And I really like Makenna and Ryan together. One thing that I loved about this book was that Ryan sensed the mate bond really early on. Of course there were things that kept it from snapping together but Ryan knew in the beginning that she was his true mate. In the other books no one senses it at all. They go into it thinking it's just going to be some awesome sex and then realize later on that they are mates. But Ryan was open and 100% honest about how he felt. Again anything thing I found really awesome. you would think that since he doesn't speak that often that he wouldn't be open with how much he needed her but he was.. and not even only to her. He was pissed that he couldn't tell his pack right away that he found his mate. Which is absolutely adorable if you ask me.

Another amazing book from Suzanne Wright. I love this series and now I'm going to move on to the The Mercury Pack books even though I guess I should have read the first one before this one because the couple is already together in this book but oh well!
