From the Legal Affairs by Sawyer Bennett

This book is out now. An offshoot from the Legal Affairs series. This time we get to read Matt's point of view. I haven't finished the series yet, but I will get to it soon. Matt is a very interesting character and I bet this is going to be so much fun!

Coming Soon: Thrive

Another book series that I haven't finished yet, the Addicted series. Another sequel is coming out and I can't wait for it. Correction: I can't wait to read about the hot Loren Hale.

The Wild Side - R.K. Lilley

Oh wow! R.K. Lilley did it again. This book is not just another erotic story that doesn't have depth. This book is not the shallow erotic type. It has lots of inside story and complex characters that you will learn to love.

This book is an erotic, arousing yet romantic and heartfelt story of an older-mature guy and a young-mysterious woman. He is a recluse, while she is a social butterfly. He is cynical, while she is idealistic. He is a writer, while she is a reader. He's in his 40's, while she's in her early twenties. This is a story of how opposite's attract.

"She was young.  I was old.  
She was wild.  I was tame.  
What on earth were we doing here? 
How the hell would we ever fit into each other’s lives?  
The answer was simple and bleak."

Though the story is just short and fast paced, I felt the attraction between Dair and Iris. I loved Dair and the way Iris describes him makes it easy to assume that he's the older but still oh so hot type. He has a great body, a brilliant mind, an awesome voice and mostly a beautiful heart. Yet he doesn't know it. His self esteem is nonexistent. What with all that happened to him and how others treated him.

I also loved Iris. I felt for her. I feel her. I felt her heart break. She is mysterious yet you can relate to her. We don't get to read much about her mysterious life in this book, but hopefully in the sequel we get to know her.

I must really commend the author because not all can write effectively in another gender. She was able to convey the male point of view, Dair's view in an interesting and refreshing manner.

"Inside of every man lived an asshole, and that asshole had a strong dose of ‘I don’t give a damn.’ While the asshole inside of me was obviously alive and healthy, all of his doses of I don’t give a damn had clearly worn off. Instead, in its place, I felt.  I missed.  I craved.  I yearned."

This is the first book in The Wild Side series. Book 2 - Iris is coming out June 2014, while the next book Dair will be out on July 2014. I can't wait to read the sequel to Dair and Iris' story.

The Will - Kristen Ashely

“Small-minded fools are everywhere and those with the courage to be who they are often have to suffer them.” 

“It’s never too late to reach for happiness and no matter what life has done to you, it’s never too late to find it.” 

Took me a long time to finish the book as I started it on the way to my annual vacation, then I got caught up with work so I wasn’t able to write a review. I feel bad because I should’ve written it sooner so I could’ve given the book justice. It was so worth it. 

I loved the characters and the hero and heroine. The heroine may be uptight at first but she changed halfway through and I learned to love her. Jake is totally swoon-worthy, the perfect alpha-male-father figure. I loved all the kids. All throughout the book, I felt a sense of peace and contentment. I loved how the story was not so angst ridden, there were some, but it was perfect and realistic to the story. 

This is the second book I’ve read of Kristen Ashley and I must say that this will not be the last and I’m excited to read more from her. I’m loving her style of writing about alpha male characters and swoon worthy scenes. Her love scenes are not dirty and not too detailed. Her stories are realistic but dreamy at the same time. I like that there’s a tinge of angst but not too heavy. And most of all the stories are not shortchanged and are well played out. 

I cannot wait for the next book in this series. I’m not sure who’s it’s going to be but since I like all the primary and secondary characters I will definitely wait for it. I’m guessing it’s going to be Alyssa and Junior or Henry or Amond’s story or perhaps an older Con and Sofie.

Mud Vein - Tarryn Fisher

“I heard everything you didn’t say. I heard it so loudly that I couldn’t shut it off. Your silence, Senna, I hear it so loudly.”

Mud Vein is no doubt a Tarryn Fisher book. It is a typical Fisher book with a troubled heroine that readers can either love or hate at the same time. If you enjoyed Love Me with Lies and you felt hatred for the heroine at first then towards the end you will learn to love her, this book is highly recommended. Sometimes I don’t understand her, and then sometimes I do. Senna reminded me of Olivia in so many ways. But don’t think for one minute that the stories are similar because it’s not. Mud Vein is totally different. 

The story will poke at your interest and it will not let you go until you finish it. I read it in a day because I couldn’t put it down. One thing is similar though, it is brilliantly written and this is one of my best books for 2014. I am also desperately in love with Isaac. You will love him from start to finish. And at the end of the book you will love both him and Senna and you will be desperately seeking more of their story. Please Tarryn Fisher I want more from the story. Don’t end it here and perhaps give us an extended epilogue. Please! 

This book is highly recommended to those who love mystery and with a touch of romance. I loved that the story didn’t focus on the romance which makes it so different and yet you will still feel the love in it. It took me a long time to write this review because I was still experiencing hangover. I am slowly getting over the funk, but I will not forget Senna and Isaac. Much like how Olive and Caleb affected me. I just cannot tell you enough how I love Tarryn’s books and her characters. Note to readers, do not read spoilers, go in blind and you will definitely enjoy this ride.
