REVIEW: Scandalous by L.J. Shen

OMG! OMG! OMG! Another Sinners of Saint series from L.J. Shen? I'm taking a day off and reading this right when the ARC was delivered to my kindle! This is one of the books in a series of interconnecting standalone so it's best when you've read the previous books even though they're all about different characters.

I've been patiently waiting for Trent's story ever since I finished reading Ruckus, and L.J. Shen once again didn't dissapoint! I love his story. The story is about Trent, a 32 years old single dad and Edie, an 18 years old daughter of his business partner. Even though in hindsight it may look wrong, but what I love about L.J. Shen is that at the end of the day, she makes the most hated broken asshole be loved in her books. Their story may not be conventional, but it's the one that grabbed my heart the most because Edie is such a head-strong character that is loving and has amazing qualities that you can't help but admire. Their love is complex with a lot of grey areas, but you can't help but root for these characters to have their happy ending.

I love this story so much, and for me, Edie stole the show. I have to say, Vicious will always be my favorite HotHoles, but Trent is a really intriguing character and you will love him because despite what live has thrown at him, and how broken he is, he is still trying for his daughter. These characters are both flawed, emotionally damaged, and has baggage, but they WILL find their happy ever after and that epilogue makes my tongue wagging for more!! Seriously, I don't think I ever want this series to end. Dear L.J. Shen, please continue the series with their offsprings!! I want more of these characters and I want more of Todos Santos!

BLURB

They call him The Mute for a reason.

Hard, cold and calculated, he rarely speaks.

When he does, it’s with disdain.

When he does, his words aren’t meant for me.

When he does, my stomach flips and my world tilts on its axis.

He is thirty-three.

I am eighteen.

He’s a single dad and my father’s business partner.

I’m just a kid to him and his enemy’s daughter.

He’s emotionally unavailable.

And I am…feeling. Feeling things I shouldn’t feel for him.

Trent Rexroth is going to break my heart. The writing isn’t just on the wall, it’s inked on my soul.

And yet, I can’t stay away.

A scandal is the last thing my family needs. But a scandal is what we’re going to give them.

And oh, what a beautiful chaos it will be.

COVER REVEAL: Constant by Rachel Higginson

Constant, coming November, 2017

EXCERPT
 Fifteen years ago I met Sayer Wesley. I fell in love with him. I promised I would never leave him. I swore nothing could break us apart.

Five years ago I broke my promise. I ran away. I took the one secret that could destroy us both and disappeared.

Five days ago I thought I saw him.

I knew it was impossible. Sayer was locked away, serving a deserved sentence in federal prison. He couldn’t find me.

He wouldn’t find me. I was too good at hiding. Too good at surviving.

Because if Sayer ever found me, there would be hell to pay for a plethora of sins. The worst of which, he didn’t even know about yet.

Five hours ago, I told myself I was crazy.

Five minutes ago, I saw him again.

Five seconds ago, I was too late.

REVIEW: Drunk On You by Harper Sloan

BLURB

It was supposed to be fun.

A mutual use of each other's bodies.

To be a ruse to the world around us.

I wanted to be free from my ex, and he wanted to escape his.

One drunken night turned a joke into a life-changing moment.

He warned me not to fall for him, and I should've listened.

He intoxicated me.

He made me crave him.

He ruined me.

In the end, I'll never be the same.

REVIEW

SQUEE! I love this book so much! This might just be my favorite book (so far) in the Hope Town Series and I'm already looking forward for the next one!

The story is about Shane and Nikki, which we previously read briefly in the previous book as they are the best friend of Ember and Nate. They have mutual friends who are married, and they got tangled with each other because of the ex-situation on both sides that made them  decide to use each other to fend off their exes! Nikki is a teacher, and Shane co-owns the Dirty Dog bar with Nate (the hero of the previous book). I love how they are together, the dynamic between the two, I just LOVE Shane.

It started as a night of fun, which turned into more since they have such COMBUSTILE connection that you will just love! However, they have to overcome some hangups and issues that formed from their past relationships, and the journey to being together is so sweet.

This has got to be the HOTTEST Hope Town book so far. Shane is just SO HOT. There are BDSM theme in this book, very light dominant type of relationship that works for them both. I love it, it's so romantic. Can't wait to read about Shane's sister next (I'm hoping)!

*4.5 out of 5 Stars*

Blurb:

I’ve discovered Donovan Kincaid’s secret.

It’s dirty and filthy and rich – as dirty and filthy and rich as he is – and it haunts me as much as he ever did.

Even after knowing what I know now, I still want to talk to him, to touch him. But there’s an ocean between us, and I’m not sure it can be crossed with something as easy as a phone call or a plane ride.

Yet I’m willing to try.

He doesn’t know this yet, but this time I’m the one with the power. And maybe – just maybe – if the air were cleared and all our secrets bared, there could still be a chance for us.

And this dirty, filthy thing between us might end up being love after all.

WOW. JUST WOW.

I dived into this series knowing I willl love everything that Laurelin Paige writes.. but I am still blown away by how much I love her writing style, her characters, and her plot line. Everything about this series; I LOVE!

This book is the continuation of Sabrina Lind and Donovan Kincaid's story that begun in Dirty Filthy Rich Boys (Prologue novella). There are secrets in the Dirty Filthy Rich Men that we discovered right at the end of the book, and this book dived right in. I have to say, Sabrina is one of my favorite heroine that Laurelin has written, with a lot of emotional baggage and complication. I love how Sabrina and Donovan is, how their love story is all about acceptance and being able to truly wholeheartedly love someone despite their flaws. I. Just. Love. This. Book!

Donovan is a very mysterious character for me, but I love him more than I love Sabrina in this book (I think. LOL.). They are just bound to be with each other right from the start of the journey in more ways than one, and I love how the mysteries unfold in this book. Donovan is unapologetical villain, and I love that about him. We get to see another side of Donovan in this book too, the uncertain, not-so-self-assured side of him

"You're also the villain, don't forget that."

"Lucky for me you're the kind of girl who likes to fuck the villain."

I would definitely recommend this book if you're looking for an erotic romance that's darker.. or just a romance lover in general.
