SYNOPSIS:

Lilly has been in love with her brother’s best friend Blake for years. She lost her virginity to the oil driller on her eighteenth birthday, only to wake the next morning to find him gone. After he pulled that stunt twice more, she swore never to see or talk to him again. But now he’s back for her brother’s wedding, and he’s as irresistible as she remembers.

Blake thinks Lilly’s even sexier than ever. Unable to resist one another, they don’t make it out of the airport parking lot before taking up where they left off. As the two rediscover their passion for each other, nothing and nowhere is off-limits!
MY THOUGHTS:
Yes, I am a big fan of author Tory Richards.  When I was offered the chance to read and review Talk Dirty To Me, I was over the moon!  I had been waiting ever since she announced that she was having a book published with Ellora’s Cave and I was so excited for her!  Talk Dirty To Me was a new masterpiece for this author! 

This book is more erotic than her previous books, yet she pulls it off with ease.  I loved the characters of Lilly and Blake.  Even though this is a short story, I still felt the connection between the two and the story was believable.  Wait, did I mention the steamy sex scenes? Well, they were hot!  The story flowed quickly, but that was okay.  I knew going into this that it was a short story.  The only problem is that it left me hungry for more! I wanted more of this couple and now I want to see a sequel! 

A definite story you need to read if you are a steamy read junkie!  This book is a quick fix to feed your hot read addiction! 

MY RATING:

Outstanding Book That Will Stay On My Bookshelf

Veil of Shadows

Shiloh Walker has a contest running right now for a chance to win an ARC copy of Veil of Shadows.  I decided to post a blog entry about why I think she needs to send one to me for the contest.

First of all, Shiloh Walker is an author I chat with on Twitter.  She is witty, funny and will tell you like it is. Best of all, she is an inspiration to others.  Not only does she give you great advice for writing, but she also has given me great advice and encouragement for my struggle with weight loss.  When I feel like I am going to grow out of my current size jeans, I read her tweets and realize I better do something or else. She worked her bootie off for weight loss and I am so proud of her!  If she can get me to try, then anyone can. Whenever I have a question, she is there! 

So I am going to kiss up salute you for being my inspiration in more ways than one! Thanks Shiloh!

SYNOPSIS:

Jaci Wright has been running from the Falladay twins, Chase and Cam, for seven years now.  Fears of the desires they arouse in her, and the knowledge of the relationship they wanted with her, spurred her to run, to find a life that kept her traveling the globe and out of their reach.
 
But now life has come full circle.  A new job has placed Jaci in the Sinclair mansion with Chase and Cam.  And they’re tired of waiting.  It’s hard enough to face accepting a relationship with two men rather than just one, but gossip and the tattered tales of juicy secrets fill the society she now moves within.  Can Jaci face the world knowing she’s a lover to both men, or will her hesitancy and her fears destroy her chance of happiness forver?
 
MY THOUGHTS:
I was in the mood for a smutty sexy read and I have heard that this author knows how to write it. Well, this was the only book by this author that my library had available and I thought I would give it a go. Whew, thank goodness our air conditioning works!
This author can write the steamy sex scenes that could actually start a fire on the pages.  I was enjoying those scenes so much, that I almost forgot that there was a plot involved as well!  Basically, Jaci is hired to redecorate a mansion for a private club. Now I am not talking about a private gambling or drinking club. It is a sex club.  She also is working with Cam and Chase. Cam is the one man she saved herself for and has always loved.  The only problem is Cam insists on it being a packaged twin deal in the bedroom. Yes, we have to find out why Cam is like this and why Chase allows it, but with all the steamy sex that goes on, I forgot about it. I did not however, like the way Cam was so possessive and how Jaci was strong one chapter and weak the next. I also wish there was more focus on the buried plot.
Overall, if you are looking for some steamy smut, then this book will definitely fit into that category.  If you are looking for a book that has a story included, well this one has it, but you might be sidetracked with the fantastic smut that this author can write!

Okay book, but it left me wanting more! 3 STARS

THE SHORT SECOND LIFE OF BREE TANNER by Stephenie Meyer

THE SHORT SECOND LIFE OF BREE TANNER
Author: Stephenie Meyer

  • Reading level: Young Adult
  • Hardcover: 192 pages
  • Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers; 1st Edition, 1st Printing edition (June 5, 2010)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-10: 031612558X
  • ISBN-13: 978-0316125581

SYNOPSIS:

Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by this riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character first introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery, and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion. 

MY THOUGHTS:

Since Eclipse is releasing this month on the big screen, I thought I would give this book a chance now.  Eclipse was one of my favorite books in the Twilight saga.  Even though I still wanted Midnight Sun to become the next book by this author, I guess anyone who is in love with this series will have to settle with this book for now.

I would say settling is the best way to describe this book to me.  It wasn’t what I wanted and it didn’t live up to the hype around it.  Maybe because I wanted a book like Twilight that will capture me and keep me reading instead of eating or sleeping.  This book to me was only mediocre.  I just couldn’t enjoy this book as much as I should have.  To me, Bree just wasn’t a person I wanted to read about.  I mean come on, give me Edward! Give me Jacob! Hell, give me Kristin Stewart as Bella over a vampire that I know is not going to be around for Breaking Dawn! I also felt that the author just didn’t give it her all with this one.  The writing wasn’t as captivating as her previous books. 

Overall, if you are a serious Twilight junkie, read it.  It wasn’t a bad book, but it wasn’t great either. It needed something more to make it great.
