''Pure Romance at its best!''-The Dark n Dirty Booknook.


Synopsis:

Billionaire Caleb Blackstone lives in the glamorous world of wealth and success, with every material luxury. But the moment he sees Brooke Casterley, none of that matters. Caleb is filled with a raw, undeniable need that he can’t ignore…for a girl who is so completely different from everything and everyone he’s ever known.
Only Brooke isn’t looking for love. She knows all too well just how much damage the wrong guy can do. Still, what sane, broke British girl can resist the charms of an incredibly sexy, chivalrous billionaire? What starts as flirtation quickly turns into all-consuming passion. Nothing could have prepared her for the searing heat of Caleb’s touch—or just how much she craves him.
Their whirlwind romance is the stuff of high-society fantasy—but for every moment of pleasure, there is a cost. Past mistakes and tragedy shadow them both…and falling for him might be the kind of trouble she can’t afford.




Review:
This was my first read by Raine Miller & it definitely won't be my last.
I found myself lost in this book for hours on end.
It was a fairly simple storyline, but a very enjoyable read nevertheless.

Caleb Blackstone took a slightly broken British girl who had had an unpleasant past & showed her how a girl should be cherished, loved & adored in a relationship & nothing less.
In return Brooke took a filthy rich playboy & showed him what true love was.
Fate brought them together to fill the missing pieces of each other, making them whole.

Pure Romance at its best!If your looking for a light romantic, swoon worthy read with a HEA you've come to the right place!

Review:

This is Jasper & Libby's Story. A story of forbidden feelings, wanting from a far, saying screw you to expectations. Deciding they can't possibly stay apart & ignore their feelings any longer. But at what cost? Will their family approve? Or will they tear them apart?

I devoured this short but sexy ,taboo read by Alexa Riley. Jasper & Libby's Story was fun, sexy & downright dirty! Everything you expect from an Alexa Riley Book! Full of hot sex, dirty talk & naughtiness. My only dissapointment is that this book wasn't longer!

If you haven't read anything by Alexa before, what are you waiting for!? The worst outcome possible, only a pair of wet knickers! ;)

Dear Chloe Knight,

I know you still think of me. You must because I am constantly thinking about you.
I can't deny what I feel any longer-that you are, without a doubt, the love of my life.
It doesn't matter that I'm married, or that I've heard you've gotten engaged.
I don't care if it costs me everything just to get you back.
I would walk to the ends of the earth for you.
I would kill for you. I would die for you.
I'm coming home, Little Knight and I will make you mine again.
I can't wait to tell you the truth - that I love you. That I need you.
That I can hardly fucking breathe without you.
I will risk it all because I know that you belong to me . . . just as I belong to you.
And this time, nothing is going to stand in my way . . . unless that something is you.





Review:

After much anticipation for the second instalment of Theo & Chloes story, Shanora didn't disappoint one bit, you could really tell all of the hard work & love she poured into this book.


The Taboo love story was beautifully written. It was emotional, raw, full of humour & love, just simply perfect. 

Without spoilers, It was everything I had hoped for, for the conclusion to Theo & Chloes Story! They fought every obstacle in their way & finally won their battle.

When something is meant to be, it's meant to be & nothing can stand in the way of fate!!

Book Review: Killmore #1 - Martha Sweeney


Book Title: Killmore (#1)
Author: Martha Sweeney.
Genre: Romantic Suspense.

Rating: 


''An amazing, unpredictable story of an admirable strong woman, taking back control over her life! '' - The Dark n Dirty Booknook.

Synopsis:

From Amazon Best-Selling Author Martha Sweeney, comes her first romantic suspense novel.

You know how they say the enemy of your enemy is your friend? Well, I'm still determining if there's any truth to that statement.

I was used by the Feds to report on the dealings of Antonio Herrera - the major Mexican crime lord since his uncle passed, leaving everything to Antonio. I knew everything about Antonio's business. How, you ask? I was the only woman he kept close, really close - he claimed he loved me. You get to see and hear a lot of interesting things when you hold that kind of status.

Now, the Feds have me in what they claim is witness protection. However, I never feel safe knowing he's out there. My family thinks I'm dead. All the while, I keep to myself, avoid most people in my new hometown and train rigorously everyday—waiting for the time when the devil comes calling for his debt to be paid.





Review:

What a unpredictable journey this was! I loved the build up of the story & all of the plot twists had me turning page after page. This being story of a strong minded woman who ends up in an unsavoury relationship but decides to take back control by working with the FBI risking her life to escape her current circumstances. But with this comes sacrifice, she gives up her home, her family entering witness protection to protect herself & those she loves.

Although succeeding in making a life for herself somewhere new she remains guarded, her walls firmly in place. But what happens when her past comes back to haunt her? What happens when someone starts to knock down those walls piece by piece? Someone your brain is trained not to trust?

I admired Laurie's strength throughout this whole book. Her determination to be stronger, to make sure she has control over all aspects of her life, after losing it at a great cost in her past. She cares for those she loves, always putting them first despite her tough exterior & I loved that about her.

But was she truly living this new life though? Was she truly happy? Before her new life becomes disrupted by a fed determined to knock down the fortress she had built around her heart? I'm not so sure, she always seemed to be missing a part of herself.

While respecting all of the reasons she had not to trust the gorgeous, challenging, cocky fed. A long with risking 
her past coming back to bite her on the ass. Without giving away too much it was totally worth the risk & I cant wait to find out what happens next!!!

Book Review: Make Me - Lp Lovell


Book Title: Make Me (Kiss of Death Series 0.5)
Author: LP Lovell.
Genre: Dark/Mafia Romance.

Rating: 



''Make Me just left me with a whole ton of respect for Una. What she has survived, who she has become & my wish for her to find happiness.''- The Dark n Dirty Booknook.


Synopsis:

0.5 in The Kiss of Death Series. Prequel novella to Kill Me. 

At thirteen years old I was sold, doomed to become a sex slave. 
Nicholai Ivanov, boss of the Russian Bratva, gave me the ultimate gift. He saved me from a fate worse than death. He promised to make me strong, because only the strong survive, and the weak die, forgotten and inconsequential. 

I now live in a world of blood and violence, where humanity itself is a weakness. My life is not a battle of bad and good, but bad and worse. This is kill or be killed, survival of the fittest. 

Make me or break me?



Review:

After already having read Kill Me, Part one in the Kiss of Death Series. I was very interested to delve into Una's past where it all began. To find out what made her the beautiful, strong woman we meet in Kill Me. I was not disappointed. Make Me just left me with a whole ton of respect for Una. What she has survived, who she has become & my wish for her to find happiness.

Although short, this story answered questions for me about Una's life leading up to her becoming a ruthless, feared killer. Her fear of love & need to be in control.
Some parts are quite dark & may be upsetting for some to read. But to really understand the making of The Kiss of Death you need to read this book!!!

Book Review: Collecting The Pieces - L.A. Fiore


Book Title: Collecting The Pieces.
Author: LA Fiore.
Genre: Contempory Romance/Romantic Suspense.
 
Rating: 
 



''This book will break your heart, then put it back together piece by piece! '' - The Dark n Dirty Booknook. 
 

Synopis:

At fifteen I fell in love. His name was Jake Stephens and he took the abandoned, lonely girl I had been and made me whole. His love was a pure and unconditional love that made every day better than the last…a fairy tale of my very own.

But this story isn’t about Jake. It’s about Abel Madden; the man I meet after the fairy tale goes to hell. A cocky, arrogant man who says what he wants, does as he pleases, and makes no excuses for it. He irritates me—downright pisses me off at times—but he also brings me back to life.

My name is Sidney Ellis and this is my story of finding love twice—the first when I needed it most and the second when I never saw it coming.
Collecting the Pieces is a standalone Contemporary Romance/Romantic Suspense novel with no cliffhanger. 

Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.



Review:

Where do I start!? You should start this book with a box of tissues to hand.

Collecting the pieces is by far one of my favourite reads of all time, let alone of 2016. This book will break your heart then put it back together again piece by piece. 
Collecting the Pieces is real, raw, gritty, emotional but beyond beautiful all at the same time. L.A. Fiore's way with words places you in the shoes of all of her characters, experiencing, feeling everything that they feel. 

This is a story of love, loss & learning to love again, which I found completely inspirational. 
A message behind every word to the reader to value everyday, everything you love in it. That even when you have lost and are broken. You can collect all the pieces, and although you may not be put back together perfectly. You can become whole again. 

Sid & Abel's story will stay with me forever & will always have a piece of my heart.
