Sunny Shelly’s Review: Ruthless Kiss, by Amelia Wilde

RuthlessKiss.jpg

 

Nobody stands in my way.

My real estate empire is my life. I’ve got properties on almost every continent, and I’m not interested in distractions from building a massive empire. Women are necessary but fleeting—I don’t have time to remember their names before they’re out of my bed and out of my life.

Except Isabella Gabriel.

From the second she walks into my office, past my shouting secretary, I know there’s something about her. Maybe it’s her big green eyes, or her delicious curves, or the fact that her lips would look perfect wrapped around my c*ck.

Or maybe it’s the way she gives me a piece of her mind, her determination to save her mother’s precious apartment, or the way she’s not about to back down.

I don’t need this kind of temptation—especially when she proves she can play on my level.

It’s damn foolish to stick my hand in the fire, but I just can’t let her go.

Jasper Pace might be rich, but he’s scum.

He’s cocky, arrogant, and as cold-hearted as they come…so I’m not surprised when his juggernaut of a development company snatches my mother’s apartment building right out from underneath me.

The only thing that surprises me? The man is f*cking gorgeous. For a monster, anyway.

I mean, his suits fit him exactly right, and from the first moment we meet I can tell he dresses left. The way he looks at me makes me want to wrap my legs around him, even if what he says makes me want to slap him.

Fine. I’ll have a little fun, but only for as long as it takes to get that building back.

That’s it.

No feelings. No attachments. Definitely no love.

Just hot, wild sex, all in the name of revenge.

And only revenge.

Ruthless Kiss is a steamy billionaire romance with adult language, no cheating, and a happily ever after that will melt your heart.

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I’ve really enjoyed this series of interconnected billionaire standalones, and Ruthless Kiss is another hot one! I had some reservations going into this book however because the previous one in this series, Shameless Kiss, was also a relationship pact. But Amelia Wilde did a great job in making Ruthless very different.

Jasper is a HOT, but cocky, real estate developer with a rep for being… well, Ruthless. He meets his match in up and coming fashion designer Isabella, who wants to take him down a few pegs when Jasper buys her mother’s building and the tenants are forced to leave. They strike an agreement where Isabella submits herself to Jasper for a month in exchange for purchasing the building herself. But of course, that isn’t the way things play out, because they both develop feelings for one another only to later feel betrayed by the other.

There are a few plot holes that left some questions in my mind, but nothing that distracted from the story. The main characters are complex and intriguing, and the supporting players do their supporting job rather than take over the story. And there are a few fun appearances by Dominic and Vivienne! Overall, a great, sexy story!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: When Life Happened, by Jewel E. Ann

SBPRBanner-WLH-BlogTour.jpg

When Life Happened, an all-new standalone romance from

Jewel E. Ann is available now!

WLH Full

When Life Happened by Jewel E. Ann

Publication Date: June 5th, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Parker Cruse despises cheaters. It might have something to do with her boyfriend sleeping with her twin sister.

After a wedding day prank involving a strong laxative, that ends the already severed relationship between the twins, Parker decides to grow up and act twenty-six.

Step One: Move out of her parents’ house.

Step Two: Find a job.

Opportunity strikes when she meets her new neighbor, Gus Westman. He’s an electrician with Iowa farm-boy values and a gift for saying her name like it’s a dirty word.

He also has a wife.

Sabrina Westman, head of a successful engineering firm, hires Parker as her personal assistant. Driven to be the best assistant ever, Parker vows to stay focused, walk the dog, go to the dry cleaners, and not kiss Gus—again.

Step Three: Don’t judge.

Step Four: Remember— when life happens, it does it in a heartbeat.

Excerpt: 

“You … you tried to seduce me.” Anger fueled her fight, overriding how terrified she felt being feet from naked Gus.

He laughed. That fed her anger even more.

“I wasn’t seducing you. I was making a point.” He slipped on a white T-shirt.

“Bullshit. I was there.”

“Precisely. Then you should know that I wasn’t seducing you.” He grabbed her shoulders and steered her away from the entrance to his closet.

She turned, relieved to find him dressed. “I felt you.” Her eyes narrowed.

He smirked. “You did, did you?”

Heat spread up her neck and burned her cheeks. Discussing Gus’s erection in his bedroom with Sabrina out of town qualified as the most inappropriate conversation she had ever had. “You’re such an ass. Just tell me why?”

Twisting his lips to the side, he narrowed his eyes. “You’re young. You think the world is so black and white. In your fairy-tale world, love is a magic wand spreading trails of glitter and granting happily ever afters.”

Parker stepped closer, knowing the lion could pull her into his den. “I don’t believe in fairytales.”

“No?” He shrugged. “Then I guess I made my point.”

“I don’t get your stupid point!” Her fingernails dug into her hands as she clenched them.

Gus leaned forward, putting them at eye level. She held her ground, even though his proximity made her body tremble.

“Someone cheated on you. And you’re so fucking mad about it because you can’t understand it. But love is an emotion that resides in your head and your proverbial heart. It has to be nurtured to grow or it dies. But … desire … it’s instinctual. Physical. Carnal. And when it wants its way, your brain shuts down and the only heart you hear is that blood-pumping organ in your chest. A slave to your desire, readying your body to do one thing and one thing only …” He leaned into her ear and whispered, “Get. Off.”

August Westman proved he was the devil. Parker became the worst possible version of herself in his presence. He drugged her with his words, pulled her under with his confidence, and stole her innocence with a whisper.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Be-My-Person, Today-Is-My-Favorite-Day Stars

 

Wow. Just, wow. Everything and anything I want to say about this book would be a spoiler. Going into this completely blind is the way to go! The description and cover are a bit misleading because this was NOT a happy-go-lucky story about a girl looking for love. Well, of course, Parker is doing exactly that, but her journey is twisted, passionate, heartbreaking, wonderful and inspired.

This story is so much deeper than I anticipated. I laughed, I sobbed, I smiled, I got teared up… So many emotions! This story is all about everything happening for a reason (even if you don’t understand what that reason is), people coming into our lives for a specific reason, forgiving yourself and those who have done you wrong or you did wrong, and finding your sunshine and happiness in a place you were never expecting to find it.

“Today is my favorite day.”

Swoon. Just do yourself a favor and read this book. Stop reading reviews because you will find something to spoil the story, and that would just be a shame.

Release Date: June 26, 2017

Blurb

My name is
Molly Brinks, but most people know me as Vivienne Foxx, bestselling author of
chance meetings, stolen glances, and the much-needed happily ever after. My
addictions include coffee, home improvement television, and the occasional pint
of ice cream. The love of my life is an eighty-pound labrador retriever named
Pee Wee. At the age of twenty-nine-plus-one, I am at the top of my
game…professionally. My personal life is a completely different story, one best
left untold. Success has its sacrifices and I’ve been more than happy to put my
search for Prince Charming on the back burner while I create fictitious tales
of the naïve virgin, the broken girl with a torrid past, and the strong-willed
student finding their own Mr. Right… Until one hell of a case of writer’s block
and a tight deadline set by my publisher forces me outside my cozy downtown
Boston apartment in search of inspiration.
Armed with
an account on every dating website out there, I devise a plan. Meet some nice,
professional men. Go on a few dates. Hope one of them has the spark I need to
finish my book. Then walk away.
But plans
are meant to be broken.
My name is
Molly Brinks, and this is my story about Writing Mr. Right.

Changing Hearts by Terri E. Laine

Genre: New Adult Romance

 

Changing Hearts an all-new romance by Terri E. Laine is now LIVE!

 

Most people see Sawyer Cargill as a gorgeous but cocky guy who doesn’t take anything seriously including the trail of hearts he’s left behind.

But there’s so much more beyond the jokes and the sexual innuendos; behind the mask he so carefully wears. It’s in the way he takes care of others, including me. It’s in the glimpses of the pain he carries in his soul.

I see him for who he really is. I know his heart is capable of changing from thorns and ice to love and flame.

It’s more than a little hero worship. I’m in love with him.

But, I’m not the only point of this triangle. Someone else who is important to us loves him too. How can there be joy if he chooses me when I know the other person will be hurt?

Together he and I will have to figure that out because when I have him, I won’t let him go.

Useless.
Brilliant.
Sexy.
Uncontrollable.

From the childhood foster homes he was bounced around to, the one love he lost and hordes of nameless groupies, even his own bandmates—Your Toxic Sequel’s drummer, Sinjin Fields, has been called it all. That doesn’t include the names he calls himself. He knows he’s an addict—knows he’s damaged goods. He doesn’t care, though; drowning out the world numbs him. And for Sin, that’s the closest he’ll get to happiness.

When a drug-fueled confrontation nearly costs him his closest friend and bandmate, Sinjin is faced with no other choice but to confront each screwed-up facet of who he is and how he got there. What he never expected to encounter was Zoe—an over-achieving, fresh-faced violin prodigy who can’t seem to stay away from him. Not that Sinjin wants her to. She reminds him of the undamaged part of himself. Makes him feel emotions he didn’t know he could feel.

Possessive.
Protective.
Love?

And Sinjin will battle every demon haunting him so he doesn’t have to let that go.

A New Englander at heart, she now lives in Sarasota, Florida with her husband and their two dogs who subsequently have been characters in her books.

About Gia:

Author Gia Riley has been in love with writing romance since high school when she took her very first creative writing class. From the small but mighty state of Delaware, she’s a country girl at heart, traveling back to her roots in Pennsylvania as often as she can.

While New Adult and Contemporary romance have been her passion, she’s dabbled with more erotic plotlines lately, enjoying discovering the sexier side of love with each story she pens. After all, she’s a lover of all things romance – a firm believer that everyone deserves their

happily ever after no matter what it takes to get there.

When she’s not writing, you can find her roaming the aisles of Kirkland’s, up to her elbows in Play-doh, or trying to hunt down spoilers for her favorite reality television show.
