Book Description:

Aria used to believe in love. and fate. and that one day she’d meet that one gorgeous man that would make all her dreams come true. But when she falls in love with Bryce Williams, it felt like a fairytale. He was a lawyer, he had money and wealth along with chocalate brown eyes that had girls at Beaumont High swooning after him. But over time, he started to change. Aria thought he was her prince, but there was always something missing. She always felt like she wasn’t with him, as lovers should be. He was perfect and she was just, beside him. A small part in his important, lavish life. 

Bryce had a short, explosive temper and even though she tried to make him happy, it was never enough. 

How could she ever defend herself from the raging anger inside him? So she stayed, up until the night that she’d had enough. She took off the ring he’d given her and he lost it. He hit her. And then, he took the only thing she’d had left to give. He broke her into tiny pieces that night. And she had no idea how to be whole again. 

But then she met Gavin Thomas. After four months of taking small steps toward a full and happy life again, starting to dance again, the only thing that kept her feeling alive at the time and surrounding herself with the ones who loved and supported her, she saw his stormy bluegrey eyes. His mouth that curved deliciously upwards when he smiled, his touch that left tingles all across her body. His eyes that captivated hers. He was ruggedly, impossibly handsome. He was gorgeous, from his full lips to his bluer than the ocean eyes to his roughened hands. And from the very first moment, she couldn’t resist him. 

It terrified her and excited her, but when he kissed her with both the gentleness she needed and the passion she craved, all her fears and her doubts just melted away. She craved him, she needed his touch more than the air in her lungs and the idea of losing the feel of it could break her heart in two. 

But how could she trust again, after being broken so painfully? Was it possible? 

She had no idea. But Aria had to try. She needed Gavin, and she refused to let him go.

Review - Cravings by Lynn Crandall

Paperback/Hardcover: 

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Find it at: Goodreads 

Summary:  

Were-lynx Kennedy’s world implodes when she’s sent to a facility for illegal and torturous experimentation. Only after she’s rescued does she learn she’s been living a lie for 22 years. She can count on nothing from her past—not her parents, her surname, or her safety. Only the brother she didn’t know and his colony of were-lynxes offer any semblance of stability. Suspicious of everyone and unsure of her path forward, Kennedy reluctantly starts to realize that charming were-bobcat Asher Monroe might be her only hope.
Sportswriter Asher has been trying desperately to ferret out the truth behind why the sinister Nexus Group has been kidnapping and experimenting on were-cats. But he’s also willing to use his special mind-controlling ability to discover whether the gorgeous Kennedy is a threat to the colony or simply a lost soul.

As their need for the truth takes them into escalating danger, they discover explosive secrets that could bring Kennedy and Asher together — or rip them apart forever..

Review:   

I have received this book as part of a blog tour in exchange of an honest review.

This is the second book in the Fierce Hearts series and I really enjoyed it.  The main characters are very likeable and Lynn Crandall has a way of writing about these were-lynx that make them seem real.

There’s something for everyone in this book: danger, mystery, desire and much more.

I believe the author did a great job creating this world and explaining it.

All in all, Craving is a very well-written and interesting book. It kept me entertained from the start and I liked the fact it is so different from other books.

This is, definitely, a good read.

Summary:  
Holiday romances are supposed to be fun…..and quick…….not burned into your damn brain.
My skin is branded with her name, my heart is branded with her betrayal and now seven years later I have been forced to return to find that she is just as fucking perfect as ever, the ultimate temptation.

Review:   

I have received this book as part of a blog tour an in exchange of an honest review.

I ended up really enjoying this book. It is full of romance, angst and steamy moments.

I liked the main characters and thought the chemistry between them was great.  They can both be really stubborn but it’s obvious there’s more than pure lust between them.  Every single character is relatable and easy to like.

Plotwise, this is all about whether Natasha and Joshua will be able to be together or if a secret will keep them apart. I enjoyed reading about this characters and wondering about when they would finally realize they belonged together.

All in all, Stanton Adore is very well-written, the plot develops nicely and the characters and their relationships are great.

If you enjoy a good romance and characters with steamy chemistry, you should definitely read this book.

Review - More Than Him (More Than 03) by Jay McLean

Summary:  
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us." - Marianne Williamson

We live in a world of darkness and shadows,

where monsters hide and aim to ruin.

And they did.

They ruined us and turned our dreams into nightmares.

But now we're back.

And we're fighting.

Not just for us, or for each other, but for our light.

Review:   

I read this book right after I finished More Than Her and I’m glad because, this way, I didn’t feel like Logan and Amanda’s story was interrupted.

I’ve become a big fan of this series and these characters so I was happy to be able to read more about Logan.

More Than Him basically picks up where More than Her finished. Things are not easy for Logan and Amanda. Bad decisions and the past stand between them. Will they be able to overcome all their problems and be together or will they just give up?

Since the beginning of More Than This Logan was one of my favorite characters so I’m actually glad we got two books about him. His funny, cocky and laid back but he also happens to be very intelligent, caring and protective. We get to see another side of him in this book and I enjoyed reading about how he can be both strong and vulnerable almost at the same time. 

Amanda is a good character as well. I think she’s a perfect balance to Logan and their relationship is very interesting and complex.

The rest of the gang make a few appearances during the book, which is always fun.

Plotwise, I found this book to be very interesting.  It is full of sweet and dramatic moments and the reader never truly knows what will happen between Logan and Amanda next.

All in all, More Than Him is a very interesting and well-written book. It is full of ups and downs and the character development is great.

I already started reading the next book in the series and I can tell it’s very good so far.

If you are a fan of New Adult Romance, this series is for you!
