BOOK REVIEW: Knights' Sinner (The MC Sinners #3) by Bella Jewel

Knights' Sinner by Bella Jewel 
Series: The MC Sinners #3 
Genres: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: Oct 23, 2013
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥

Jackson is always considered the 'softie'. He's the first to help people out when they're in need. He's President of the Hell's Knights and he figures it's about time he shows the world how much of a sinner he can be.

Serenity has a dark past. Secrets haunt her and she has no way of escaping them. Hogan is the only family she knows and life with him is brutal. And it's about to get worse.

He sends her on a mission.

On a mission to destroy the Hell's Knights and the Heaven's Sinners.

Can she pretend with a club she doesn't know?

Or will she betray Hogan for the man she's falling in love with?

My Thoughts 

I was surprised and quite hesitant when I found out Jackson is getting his own book. He was probably my least favorite guy in the series... I mean come on.. Yeah he's the President of the club but the guy is old and a pig! Ever since book one, I always saw him as an old man with a stinkin' beer belly. lol! But damn.. damn.. damn.. and damn.. after reading this book, gotta say that Jackson is one old hot piece of meat!!

He might be an old man and considered the "softie" but the man can f*ck you all night long baby! And I was shocked to find out the tribal marking around his...

 

Never heard of it and had to google some pics so I can visualize what does it look like.. and damn.. damn.. damn.. I like what I see!

“Sometimes love just ain’t meant to be for some people.”
“I don’t think that’s true,” I say softly. “I think everyone has someone.” 

We met Serenity in book two, she stumbles onto Jackson's compound and has been beaten up badly by her abusive father, who is the President of a rival club. On the outside, Serenity has the whole package- she's sweet, innocent and tiny with a pretty little face. Everybody in the club likes her but she's hiding a big secret, Serenity has been sent to spy on them...

Again, out of the three books- Serenity is my favorite heroine. First, she's weak but not too weak. Secondly, I liked that even though she's a broken woman, she still has some fire inside her. I've never been abused but I felt connected to her character.

“Thank you,” he rasps.
“M-m-me?” I whisper, shaking my head. “What for?
“For ending my nightmare.”

Serenity and Jackson's story is my favorite, it's more gripping and I felt every emotion throughout this book. The scene when everyone found out about her secret? Ah.. that was emotional and I'm not gonna lie, I had tears in my eyes. It was heartbreaking to see how Jackson treated Serenity afterwards. I knew he'll be mad or something but didn't expected him to go berserk. Jackson is not a violent person but geez.. he sure is scary when he gets really mad.

Can't really say anything negative about this book, I had high expectation and I got it!

I guess one thing that irked me was the threesome with Muff. I don't like sharing. Period. I was a little turned off that Jackson let someone fucked Serenity. I knew that he liked sharing his women but I was hoping it will be different when it comes to her. But I have to admit that the threesome scene was nicely done, so if you guys like MFM, then this book has it that will give you a bookgasm. hehe.

Knights' Sinner is the best book out of the MC Sinners series!

These guys, they are our family.
To some, they might be crazy and dangerous.
To us, they are the reason we breathe.

Bella Jewel definitely saved the best for last! This was a great book to end the series.

I'm looking forward to reading Muff's book.. I'm kinda bummed out that it's just a novella.. but beggars can't be choosers. I'll gladly take Muff.. anytime.. anywhere.

Wired, Book Three

When über-nerd Jack asks Sara to make him more attractive to women, she can’t say no—even though it’s an impossible task. He’s shaggy and doughy and hopelessly inappropriate. He has no style or emotional intelligence but he’s a good person. And a great friend. What Sara never expects? Beneath all that fur and geekiness is a steamy hunk just waiting to emerge.

Jack takes Sara’s regimen very seriously, working out and losing weight until he feels like a new man. He even complies with her command to shave his beard—because Jack didn’t ask Sara to make him over so he would be attractive to other women. He only wants to be attractive to her. They go on a series of fake dates, each hotter and more sinful than the last. It’s not long before Sara discovers Jack’s secret desire to be dominated and what began as an arrangement becomes something amazing—something that could be real.

Inside Scoop: Our hero appreciates Femdom—with the right woman. Our hero doesn’t appreciate perfect strangers grabbing his junk. Ask nicely first, ladies!

Cover Reveal! More Than Her (More #2) by Jay McLean

 

Genres: Contemporary Romance, New Adult

Release Date:  Dec 1, 2013

"For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction."

For every choice you make there are rewards,
or there are consequences.
It was my choice to walk away the first time.
And my choice to chase her the second.
But sometimes you don't get a choice,
and all you get are the consequences.


"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

Unless that someone is Logan Matthews.
Because loving him didn't give me
the strength to walk away.
It didn't give me
the courage to fight for him.
And when it was over,
all it gave me was a broken heart.

BOOK REVIEW: The Dark Light of Day by T.M. Frazier

The Dark Light of Day by T.M. Frazier
Genres: Contemporary Romance, Dark
Publication Date: Sept 15, 2013
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥

Warning: This is not your typical romance. The story of Abby & Jake contains disturbing situations, graphic violence, sex, rape, strong language, drug use, and all types of abuse.

Abby has been through hell and has survived one of the most brutal childhoods imaginable…barely.

To the outside world she's just a loner with an attitude.

When her grandmother dies in a tragic explosion, Abby is left with questions-and nothing else.

Homeless, sleeping in a junkyard, and on the run from a system that has failed her over and over again, she meets Jake, a tattooed blue-eyed biker with secrets that will rival her own.

Two broken souls that can't be healed. They can't be saved.

Abby & Jake must reveal to one another their most guarded secrets and discover if they can embrace the darkness those secrets hold-and the darkness within themselves.

If they can accept one another for who they really are, they might be able to learn that love isn’t always found in the light.

*stand alone novel, HEA in a twisted kind of way, no cliffhangers, no sequel

My Thoughts 

"Dark-Romance" isn't my kind of book, but Āwhina **(Ah-Fee-Nah) recommended it and I saw Kitty Kats Crazy About Books gave it a big 5 stars, so even though this book is not in my genre alley- I had to read it!

The Dark Light of Day is beautiful, gripping and intense. It revolves around Abby and Jake who has been through a lot. They are different but somewhat bonded in a special way.

I expected nothing, until the night I met a certain redhead with an attitude.

Abby is damaged inside and out. She grew up in an abusive family. She's been tossed around the foster care until she moves in with her Nan (grandma). Life seems to be going somewhere, only to get ripped once again. On the day of her graduation, her Nan dies which leaves Abby alone and homeless. She ends up sleeping in a junkyard and meets Jake...

“If you ever disappear on me, I would track you to the ends of the Earth and back. I will always find you, Bee. Always.”

Jake has his own personal demons to deal with. His drunkard father constantly blamed him for Mason (his brother) and Mother's death. One night, something inside him snapped and leaves home on his bike. Years later, he gets a call that the house he grew up in- the house his mother had loved- was in danger of being lost to the tax collector. Now he's heading to the very place he hated the most..

I'm not going to retell the whole story without giving too much. But let me tell you, I was hooked from the first page! I loved how strong Abby was. She's been through a lot.. and I mean A LOT!! but despite of everything she stood up for herself and remained positive and strong. What happened to her touched me in so many ways, now I never been abused what-so-ever but the way the author wrote some scenes was gut wrenching and made me feel like I was Abby. The things she suffered were sickening. It was a little graphic for my taste but I couldn't look away!

“You’re not nothing. Don’t ever fucking say that again, because you’re everything.”

Jake oh.. my yummy mysterious Jake! I wanna pet his goatee! ^_^
We get his small POV in prologue and epilogue but I was a little frustrated that I couldn't get inside his head the whole time. I adored Jake but the part when he didn't believe Abby was heartbreaking!! I cried and felt so betrayed.

Sick, twisted Abby was in love with the sick, twisted, beautiful Jake.

The only reason I'm not giving this a full 5 stars is because the pacing was a bit too fast in some situations. Specially the second part when Jake came back to Abby.. it would have been nice to see a little grovelling on Jake's part but it seems like their HEA just breezed through that it felt quite unbelievable.

“I promise I will always come back to you. Always.”

Overall this was a great read! T.M. Frazier has done a terrific job in this beautiful story. I guess what I learned from this book is that when you are going through hell, keep on going. Never ever give up...

I highly recommend this to anyone! Great book to debut! The Dark Light of Day will remain in me for quite some time.

BOOK REVIEW: Heaven's Sinners (The MC Sinners #2) by Bella Jewel

Heaven's Sinners by Bella Jewel

Series: The MC Sinners #2

Genres: Contemporary Romance, Erotic

Publication: Sept 23, 2013

My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥

A modern day biker romance.

Spike knows tragedy, he knows that feelings are better left hidden. He refuses to put his heart out there again, it's a pain he's not willing to feel a second time around. He's accepted he's going to spend forever alone. That's all he deserves.

But then there's Ciara, the sister of his deceased wife. She's beautiful and damned determined to throw herself into his life in hopes they can reform an old friendship, but Spike won't hear of it, and Ciara refuses to give up.

Who will win the battle of wills?

My Thoughts 

How did Spike get his name?
"He has numerous spikes in his..."

“Fuck you, Spike.”
“Been there, done that, wasn’t memorable.”

Ouch... Spike.. you with your spikey dirty mouth combine that with your spikey cock? Can I just say..

“Don’t want you to fuckin’ save me, Ciara. Don’t want you in my fuckin’ life. When will you get that through your head? I don’t want to be in your life. I didn’t chose you, I chose her. You need to fuckin’ move on. I am not the same person I was before.”

Spike is broken because he witnessed his own wife being shot..

I didn't like him in the first book, he's a major asshole but the moment I found out how he got his name and that he likes watching other couples doing... *cough!* Well.. I couldn't help myself but get interested. I was curious and couldn't picture what does a spikes cock looks like.. how do you remove that shit? So after reading this book I googled the word "spike on c*ck, pierced c*ck, barbell c*ck" and WOW.. Can I just say I am shocked?! lol. I'm not sure I want that thing in me.. O_O

“I want to save you. I want that friend that I know is in there. I can’t walk away, Spike. I hate you, and yet I can’t walk away.”

Ciara has always in her sister's shadow.. 

She's insecure and you kinda understand where she's coming from. But seriously.. she's way too dramatic in my opinion. She makes everything as if it's a big fuckin' deal. I didn't really get why she needed Spike's forgiveness but I give her props for fighting what she believes in. Gotta love a heroine that doesn't give up easily. :)

“I was never enough for you,” I rasp. “I cared about you. Fuck Spike, I loved you. But you didn’t fucking see me. You just saw her. I was never pretty enough, never good enough, I couldn’t compare.”

The flashback parts where Spike was together with her sister was a little painful to read. You could literally feel Ciara's pain, insecurities and hatred.

Spike runs his hands up and down his cock, and it takes me a moment to realize what he’s doing. He’s pulling off the spikes.

Sex scenes are descriptive and explicit! I'm not sure if everyone will agree on me on this one but I like the part where Ciara was watching Spike with another woman. It was sexy and funny.

I love how the author was descriptive of how Spike removes his spikes. Thank you Ms. Bella Jewel for a small tutorial..

Now I just need to find a man who has spikes/barbels on his dingdong. LOL.

“It was you who took my heart, and you who fuckin’ broke it. She picked the pieces up when I couldn’t find you, and so I stopped fighting. Cheyenne might have had me in the end, Tom Cat, but my heart was always yours first.”

Overall, this was a great read! Spike and Ciara have this love/hate relationship, push/pull moments that made me want to crawl inside the book and just smack the shit out of them! But despite getting a headache from reading this, I think it's better than the first book. I'm not going to summarize everything here but it's more emotional, gripping and arousing!

“It was you who took my heart, and you who fuckin’ broke it. She picked the pieces up when I couldn’t find you, and so I stopped fighting. Cheyenne might have had me in the end, Tom Cat, but my heart was always yours first.”

BOOK REVIEW: Jake Undone by Penelope Ward

Jake Undone by Penelope Ward
Genres: Contemporary Romance, New Adult
Publication Date: Oct 21, 2013
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥

Nina Kennedy was alive…but not living…until she met him.

Planes, trains, heights…you name it, Nina was afraid of it and led a sheltered life ruled by irrational fears and phobias. When she moves to Brooklyn for nursing school, that life is turned upside down, as she develops an intense but unwanted attraction to her gorgeous roommate, who’s pierced, tattooed and just happens to be the smartest person she’s ever met.

Behind Jake Green’s rough exterior and devilish smile, lies a heart of gold. He makes it his mission to change Nina’s outlook on life. When he agrees to tutor her, they forge a bet and the stakes are high as Jake forces Nina to face her demons. He just wasn’t expecting to fall hard for her in the process.

What Nina doesn’t realize, is that Jake has been living his own private hell. Once he drops a bombshell, will their love survive it?

Told in two parts from both Nina and Jake’s points of view, Jake Undone is a standalone story and a companion to the novel, Gemini.

My Thoughts

 

Holly batshit! I haven't read GEMINI yet but I've come undone by this book! Jake you are now my new book boyfriend!!

Nina aka Troll. Petite, long dirty blonde with a large blue eyes. She has a few phobias such as; elevators, planes and heights that led her a sheltered life. Nina is moving to NY to attend nursing school. She'll be sharing an apartment with her childhood friend Ryan with two roommates and Jake happens to be one of them...

Reality Show Scene Three, enter stage left: hot womanizing roommate. Then, came the three words that would change my life. “Hi, I’m Jake.”

Jake, the king of sexual innuendos. Tall, green eyes, tattooed arms, pierced, dark hair, mysterious and loves eating bananas! He's your typical delicious bad boy but smart, clever and on the inside. 

“Sometimes if you are willing to withstand a little pain in life, Nina, you might discover a pleasure that you never would have otherwise known existed.”

With Math being her worst subject, Jake offered to help Nina tutor her in  but there's a catch.. if she gets lower than A, she'll have to face one of her fears. This is where they started to become friends and over the time Nina couldn't help but develop an intense attraction to Jake. Both are opposite but they fit together somehow. The sexual tension between them was so thick you could cut it with a knife. But Jake is hiding something from her, something that is holding him back..

What are my fears?” He looked up at the sky, and his lip twitched as he pondered my question, then looked back at me. “Hurting people…like letting people I care about down. Stuff like that.”

I'll be honest, the cover got me on this one. Never heard of the author nor read any of her books so when I started reading Jake Undone, I kinda knew it's your cliche bad boy meets good girl story so I didn't put up any high expectation on this book. But the moment I read the prologue.. omg. I was a fuckin' goner and in that moment, I fell in love with Jake.

The house is fucking boring without you. Even sniffing your underwear hasn’t put me out of my funk. If I sniff this one five times, will you magically reappear?

Jake is one amazing character but I guess what really made me love him more is that he has a heart of gold. He's loyal and never stop wanting to help other people. Sure, he made a lot of mistakes (who doesn't?) and unfair decisions that made me want to smack him upside the head. But I also think that all these was necessary to make him feel more... real. (Sorry, I don't know if that's the right word I'm trying to put here)

But the sweet little things he did; making bat origami, poems, charmed bracelet and how he's insecure and unsure of himself made this book more special. Heck, even when he cried was so sexy and manly for me. I can go on and on how amazeballs he is but it would be more fun if you guys will discover it by yourself.

“I’m yours. I have never belonged to anyone before…but I know that I belong to you,”

I guess the only thing that "kinda" bothers me was in the end... (Please don't read if you haven't read the book yet) 

In the end, Jake will still continue to visit his ex wife every weekend. Even though she's an ex they still have some history together, so somehow the situation is quite disturbing. I don't mind if he helps with the financial needs but to visit her every weekend? EVERY.DAMN.WEEKEND? Uhm. No. :/

But if you look it the other way, I guess the ending made this book more believable. It didn't feel like other cliche NA books that everything was solve and they live happily ever after.

“My body belongs to you.”
“My heart belongs to you.”
“My soul belongs to you.”
“Only to you.”

I didn't realize my review is already longer but overall this was a great read! I loved it and highly recommend this to anyone! I'm dying to read Skylar and Mitch story!!!! OMGEEEE!

BOOK REVIEW: Carter Reed by Tijan

Carter Reed by Tijan
Genres: Contemporary Romance, Romantic Suspense
Publication Date: Sept 28, 2013
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥

Emma decided to skip the gym and went home early. It was the last easy decision she made because she found her roommate being raped by the boyfriend. 

She had two choices. Call the cops and be killed by his family’s mafia connections or kill him first and hope to survive. There was no choice to her. She killed the bastard first and went to the one person who could protect her. 

Carter Reed. He’s a weapon for the rivaling mafia family, but he’s also Emma’s secret. Not only was he best friends with her brother, but she’s the reason he became that weapon in the first place.

My Thoughts

Good lord! I'm ready to shred my panties for CARTER REED! 

I was so excited to read this book!! First few chapters were engaging and I told myself..  

"wow.. this book is the shit!" But half way through the story it went down hill.. I was debating myself to either skim some pages or just drop this thing off my kindle!

The plot was interesting, love the mafia gangsta going on in the story. It has the right amount of sexiness, action, suspense and drama. In fact, everything was great, Carter Reed is an amazing character. The way the author describe him almost had me on a verge of orgasm! He's dangerous and sexy. He doesn't talk much but when he does it was a toe curling moments for me.

Emma... Gahhh! I hate her. Yep. You read it right. I use the word hate. You see, I've read so many stupid/annoying/doormat heroines in my reading life but never felt this kind of hatred towards a heroine. I love reading damsel in distress heroines but Emma was beyond annoying! She's selfish, dramatic, constantly whining and everything sets her off. I felt sorry for her but throughout the book I ended up hating her. I was waiting for her to at least redeem herself or something.. like ANYTHING. But heck 60% of the story I was wishing for her to just fuckin' die! In my opinion Emma ruined this book.. seriously. :/ The supporting characters were.. bland. The story wasn't flawless and drag a little bit. It was choppy and most of the time it didn't make sense to me. I wish it had more action, suspense and Carter moments coz really.. the only good thing about this book is him.

Oh just wondering... What do you do when some mafia gang are looking for you?
Ah... you go clubbing and get drunk with friends!

Sorry couldn't help it.. I just find the story a little unbelievable.

Overall it was an okay read.. it was enjoyable but most of the time I was frustrated. I was really looking forward to this book and put up a high expectation but sadly it came up short.

I'm giving this 3 stars and that is mainly because of Carter Reed!

Btw.. if killing one mafia member will get me a Carter Reed.. then fuck it.. I'll be happy to kill one. :D

About the Author

Hello~ (waves)

I didn't begin writing until after undergraduate college. There'd been storylines and characters in my head all my life, but it came to a boiling point one day and I HAD to get them out of me. So the computer was booted up and I FINALLY felt it click. Writing is what I needed to do. After that, I had to teach myself how to write. 

I can't blame my teachers for not teaching me all those years in school. It was my fault. I was one of the students that was wishing I was anywhere but at school! So after that day, it took me lots of work until I was able to put together something that resembled a novel. I'm hoping I got it right since someone must be reading this profile! And I hope you keep enjoying my future stories.
