As Long As I Have You by Bella Andre

Released: October 16th 2019
Publisher:Oak Press
Series:London Sullivans Book One
Page Amount:304 Kindle Edition
Source:Publisher

"All Mari Everett’s life, she’s had two secret dreams: To own a bookstore, and to reunite with her long lost father. But when he passes away unexpectedly and she inherits his home and business, the only way she can learn about his life—especially why he abandoned her when she was three and never came back—is by leaving California to take over his bookstore in London. 

Owen Sullivan lives and works on Elderflower Island, a close knit community in London where it’s impossible to keep a secret. It turns out, however, that Charlie Forsythe kept his daughter a secret from everyone for nearly thirty years. When Mari comes to London, Owen immediately falls for her. He’s never met a woman so intelligent, determined and honest. Not to mention so beautiful that she takes his breath away. 

Soon, everyone on the island—including Owen’s four siblings, parents and grandmother—is pitching in to help give the bookstore a fresh start. But as insatiable passion develops into love, will Mari and Owen be able to grab hold of their fresh start? Or will their pasts continue to cast a dark shadow over their chance at a brilliant future together in London?"

-Information from Goodreads.com

My Review:
I have come to love spending time with the Sullivan clan. I was so happy to meet the London branch of the family. Watching Mari have her dream of owning a bookstore come to life as well as watching her and Owen become a couple was lovely. I adored reading about the bookstore. I am looking forward to more of the new branch of Sullivans in the future.
Thank you for a wonderful story, Bella. I'm so glad I was able to read and review another one of your fantastic stories!
Happy Reading, Ashley

Publisher:Self Published
Series:Burning Mistakes, #1
Page Amount:191Kindle Edition
Source: Publisher

"A split-second decision. A costly mistake.
My skin has been marred, slashed, burned and bruised.
My bones have been severed and broken more times than I can count.
I’ve been told I was unworthy, fought through life seeing nothing but black.
But it’s a pain I welcome.
An ache I deserve.
UNTIL HER
She is my redemption.
The flicker of fire that dances in my darkness.
Our love is effortless.
Our love is a LIE.
A desire
A delusion.
A MISTAKE
She should have known better than to entrust me with her heart.
I should have known destiny wouldn’t give me a second chance…at least not one I could keep forever.
The black cloud is back.
And revenge is the only thing it has on its mind."

My Review:


I received this exchange for an honest review. I will admit to having a hard time connecting with the characters and the story. The jumps from the past and present got on my nerves a bit. I wasn't glued to this book. Sometimes there are books you hope you will love and sometimes there are books that you are okay with it. For me Broken Promises follows into the latter. I just couldn't connect with the story or characters.
3/5 stars

"Savagery. Sin. Depravity—-these are my virtues. 
My religion. 

My name is Dante Sovrano, head of the Chicago Mob,

Except her. 

The moment I saw Sarah, I knew she’d be trouble. 
She’s fiery and cutthroat, wrapped up in a lickable package. 

But there are dark secrets hiding behind those gorgeous blue eyes. 

And I plan to know them all because she’ll have to make a deal with the devil to solve her problems. 

Too bad the devil always takes your soul.

Because Sarah London is mine. "


The newest ALPHA in this series of standalones is the definition of depraved. Dante Sovrano is ruthless and knows exactly who and what he wants. Good luck standing in his way.

"In a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed.

Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor, a manor by the sea, with her sisters, their father, and stepmother. Once they were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last—the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge—and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods.

Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that the deaths were no accidents. Her sisters have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who—or what—are they really dancing with?

When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family—before it claims her next"

My Review:

I will be honest with saying this book was a slow read for me at times. It wasn't until half way through that I was glued to the story. Although I'm not sure what I read. The way the story goes towards the ending is like what in the world is going on.

This was definitely an interesting read for sure. I am glad to have read it and might add it to my shelves down the road.

I am rating this 4/5 stars.

Series: The Sullivans, Book #20
Page Amount:  208 Nook Edition
Source: Publisher

"Rory Sullivan, a renowned artisan woodworker, has no plans to fall in love anytime soon. Especially not with Zara Mirren, who shares a converted warehouse space with him in Bar Harbor, Maine. While she is a brilliant maker—the eyeglass frames she designs are practically works of art—everything else about her drives him bonkers. The way she’s always whistling cheesy pop songs off-key. The way her half-drunk cups of coffee litter every available countertop. And especially the way he can’t take his eyes off her whenever she enters a room…or stop thinking about her after she leaves. 

Zara loves everything about her career—designing and manufacturing bright, fun glasses frames fulfills both the creative and technical sides of her brain. The only downside to coming to work is bumping into irritating, far-too-handsome-for-his-own-good Rory Sullivan…even if she secretly enjoys the zingers they throw at each other. On the plus side, thinking up new ways to torment Rory on a daily basis has helped Zara stop dwelling on the fact that her ex-boyfriend cheated on her with her stepsister.  

But when Zara learns that her ex and her stepsister have just become engaged, she’s doubly stunned by Rory’s suggestion to go as her pretend boyfriend to their engagement party, in a one-night truce where they’ll be a team rather than adversaries. Only, when it turns out that the sparks between them disguise a deeper passion—and bigger emotional connection—than either has ever known, will both Rory and Zara end up losing their hearts to the last person they could have imagined? "


THERE GOES MY HEART is part of Bella Andre's New York Times and USA Today #1 bestselling series about The Sullivans. While it can easily be read as a stand-alone story, you'll likely enjoy reading the other books, too. 
- Information from Goodreads.com


My Review:


I always am so happy to read about another member of the Sullivan family and their story of finding love. Rory and Zara are firecrackers right from the get go. I loved seeing how they fell for one another and how even when Zara got a little gloomy she and Rory were still able to work it out. I look forward to more stories from my favorite family!!

Publisher:
Series:  Kilts&Kisses, #5
Page Amount:
Source:  Publisher

"Being arranged to marry a Highlander lord is hardly uncommon.
But when he happens to be gorgeous, powerful, dominant, and your best friend’s dad?
Well, that’s another story…


Lachlan McDougall is a lot of things: powerful, ruggedly handsome Highlander Lord, fierce ex-warrior, my soon-to-be-husband…

…And my best friend’s dad.

I grew up in their castle, under his eye. But secretly, I’ve wanted him since before I even knew what the word meant. On the surface, I’m marrying him for political reasons: to stop a war and save his lands.

On the inside, though, binding myself to Lachlan McDougall is a fantasy I’ve dreamt a thousand times.

I know this is wrong, and a sin. But once I lose myself in those dark, piercing eyes, and once I feel his big, powerful hands on me, and once I taste those beautiful lips?

…Well, it turns out, I might not be the only onewith a forbidden little secret.

In two days, I’ll be married to a man who I’ve married a hundred times, in my head. The man who’s taken me to bed ten times that number in my dreams.

Twice my age, a scandal waiting to happen, and my best friend’s father.

…I’m in so much trouble."


All the tropes, all the growly af alpha goodness, all the over-the-top fun, and of course, WILDLY historically inaccurate.Warning: not responsible for lost or ripped bodices. Reader beware.

As with all my books, this one is safe, with no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed

My Review:


I received this for review exchanged for an honest review. I have loved each installment in the Kilts and Kisses series by Madison Faye. I was super excited to found out Iona was getting her own happy ending. I was glued from the first page until the last time. I am sad I read it so fast. I do hope you read this series. It is addicting with wonderful characters. I hope there is more to this series down the road.

Ones that could rip us all apart.
We're sharks.
Raised to hunt and kill.
We take what we want without asking.
We've never needed permission before, so I'm not about to start now.
You think you know everything, but we're about to do what we do best and prove you wrong- I Promise You!

My Review:

I Promise You picks up right where I Dare You leaves off. I loved the first one and was on the edge of my seat. With book two of the trilogy there was some twists I didn't see coming.

Praying For Rain by B.B. Easton

Praying For Rain by B.B. Easton
Released: April 11th 2019
Publisher:  Art by Easton
Series: Praying For Rain, Book One
Pages: 
Source:  Publisher

“None of this matters, and we’re all going to die.”

With only three days left until the predicted apocalypse, the small town of Franklin Springs, Georgia, has become a wasteland of abandoned cars, abandoned homes, abandoned businesses, and abandoned people. People like Rainbow Williams. 

Rain isn’t afraid of dying. In fact, she’s looking forward to it. If she can just outrun her pain until April 23, she’ll never have to feel it at all. 

Wes Parker has survived every horrible thing this life has thrown at him with nothing more than his resourcefulness and disarming good looks. Why should the end of the world be any different? All he needs are some basic supplies, shelter, and a sucker willing to help him out, which is exactly what he finds when he returns to his hometown of Franklin Springs.

As society crumbles, dangers mount, and secrets refuse to stay buried, two lost souls are thrust together in a twist of fate—one who will do anything to survive and one who can’t wait to die. 

Perhaps, together, they can learn how to live.

Before their time runs out."
-Informaion from Goodreads.com


My Review:


This was an interesting ride. I wasn't expecting a apocalyptic romance story. In this world created by B.B. Easton everyone believes the four horsemen are coming to end in the world April 23rd. Our main female character cannot wait for that date to arrive. She is ready to lay down and die. However upon meeting the mysterious Wes when he kidnaps her. They become close in the few days they have left to love. Will the world really end? Do they get together? Read Praying For Rain to find out.

I loved the dual point of views from both Rain and Wes. It is always nice to know what is going through both main characters mindsets throughout the story.

I wasn't expecting the ending and am looking forward to books 2 and 3. This was my first time reading a book from B.B. Easton and look forward to more of her works down the road. I am glad to have been given this for review.

I will admit it took me a bit to get into it. But once I was glued to the story I read the rest of it really fast.

I am rating it 4/5 stars since it was a slow start for me.

*Slaughter is a dark romance
*Contains disturbing scenes 
*Violent sexual situations


"My name is Avery Decker, and my story isn’t for the faint of heart. It is about revenge and hatred, misery and violence. I wasn’t always this way even though it was in my blood. I grew up happy and in love with my best friend until she betrayed me and walked away. After that, I fell into the deep, dark world I was meant for. 

Presleigh Clarke's actions turned me into the ruthless man I am today. Too bad for her, I believe people should pay for the things they have done. The more painful and messy, the better. I get off on making people bleed. It feeds my inner demon, and right now, he is starving. She crossed me once, so now she’ll know what it’s like to fear me. But not all stories end the way you think they will … mine certainly didn’t. "

-Information from Goodreads.com 






My Review:


I received an ARC ebook in exchange for an honest review. I never read Shantel's works before. This was a very dark, and violent story. Our main characters Avery and Presleigh were once a couple 11 years prior to when our story begins. When Avery learns his former love of his life is in trouble. He plans to kidnap her and keep her as his slave.

Although there was alot of hard scenes to read about. I did enjoy the story and seeing the former flames possibly reconnect after being apart for 11 years.


If you don’t mind some of the subject matter and like dark stories this might be for you.

I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

Especially when Amy Woodford shows up from out of the blue and completely takes his breath away. 

Three years ago, Amy went halfway across the country to try to escape heartbreak. But when her best friend’s wedding brings her to Married in Malibu, she’s suddenly face to face with the man she once loved with all her heart. 

Love is always in the air at the beach in Malibu, and this summer is no exception as Travis and Amy can’t help but fall for each other all over again. But will Amy’s unconditional love be enough for Travis to believe that he could be good enough to transcend the pain from his past and give her his entire heart? "

USA Today bestselling author of the King Series, T.M. Frazier, brings you an all-new trilogy with a sexy anti-hero you're going to love to hate, and a ballsy heroine with more up her sleeve than just tricks.

"Love is supposed to be a fairy tale.
Ours is a death wish.

I'm the executioner for the Bedlam Brotherhood. 
She's a con artist working for my greatest enemy. 

I use her. 
She manipulates me.

We find ourselves on opposite sides of a bloody war. 

My heart and head tell me I have to stay away. 
My lust for her doesn't give a sh*t. 

Nothings fair in love and gang war. "

My Review:
I received an ebook ARC of Perversion to help with the book excerpt and to give my honest review on the book. I have loved all of Tracey's previous works. Perversion was a fast paced heart wrecking novel.I am super excited for books 2 and 3. Tracey always brings it!! If you have enjoyed her previous novels you will love Perversion......

By the way that ending.....TRACEY!!!  WHY????? I need book 2 RIGHT NOW!!!!

Grim is now my new favorite book boyfriend. Emma Jean Parish aka Tricks is an awesome lead female character.

I love the appearance of another character from her King series.

I give this book 5/6 stars!!!

Happy Reading, Ashley
