Bane by L.J. Shen - 5 STARS!!



Bane

Naked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief and a fraud.
Last I heard, he was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living.
Which is why I’m more than a little surprised to find him at my threshold, looking for my
friendship, my services, and most puzzling of all—looking humbled.
Thing is, I’m on a boycott. Literally—I cut boys from my life. Permanently.
Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I’m falling, crashing, drowning in his
sweet, perfect lies.

Jesse Carter

Hot as hell, cold as ice.
I wasn’t aware of her existence until a fat, juicy deal landed in my lap.
She’s a part of it, a little plaything to kill some time.
She is collateral, a means to an end, and a side-bonus for striking a deal with her oil
tycoon stepdad.
More than anything, Jesse Carter is a tough nut to crack.
Little does she know, I have the fucking teeth for it.




REVIEW

This book was my first by this author and it definitely lived up to the hype! She earned herself a new fan because of this book and its characters.

Bane is a lot of things, and he believes that these bad things are what he is made of: Liar. Con man. Thief. I spent the first few chapters believing this about him and feeling like he was a pretty self-aware guy. That is, until about 17% in. I'm not gong to spoil anything, but it made me fall in love with this man and after that, I knew that he wasn't what he believed himself to be.

I loved Bane, I loved Jesse, I loved Gail (the guts she had to stand up to Bane...damn), and even really liked Bane's mom.

This book dealt with some pretty rough topics and it wasn't scared to go for the emotional jugular and I loved that. The ending was perfect for the story and made me smile.

Overall, great story, great characters, and overall a great read!

5 STARS!

We Shouldn't by Vi Keeland - Sneak Peek!

Figures. It was the gorgeous guy I’d seen in the elevator. And here I thought we’d had a little spark. Bennett Fox grinned like he’d already been named my boss and extended his hand. “Welcome to Foster Burnett.” Ugh. He wasn’t just good looking; he knew it, too. “That would be Foster, Burnett and Wren, as of a few weeks ago, right?” I iced my subtle reminder that this was now our place of employment with a smile, suddenly thankful my parents had made me wear braces until I was nearly sixteen. “Of course.” My new nemesis smiled just as brightly. Apparently his parents had sprung for orthodontic care, too. Bennett Fox was also tall. I once read an article that said the average height of a man in the US was five-foot-nine-and-a-half inches; less than fifteen percent of men stood taller than six feet. Yet the average height of more than sixty-eight percent of Fortune 500 CEOs was over six feet. Subconsciously, we related size to power in more ways than just brawn. Andre...

MY LIFE IN SHAMBLES BY KARINA HALLE - NOW LIVE!

Image
When Valerie Stephens made the resolution to say yes to new adventures, she never thought she’d end up in the tiny town of Shambles, fake engaged to one of Ireland’s top rugby players. But there’s a first time for everything. They say bad things happen in threes. After my boyfriend broke off our engagement, and I lost my apartment, and was laid off from my job, I can more than attest to that. They also say life happens when you say yes to new adventures. So when my two sisters invited me to ring in the new year in Ireland, I decided to throw all caution to the wind and go for it. I was going to let “saying yes” be my new resolution. Little did I know I’d spend New Year’s Eve having a hot and dirty one-night stand with Padraig McCarthy, one hell of a sexy Irishman. I also didn’t know that the brooding and intense sex god was one of Ireland’s top rugby players. A rugby player with a proposition for me: Come with him to his tiny hometown of Shambles and pretend to b...
