Book Review – Low by Mary Elizabeth

January 30, 2016 By Maryse 20 Comments

Low

*claps claps and claps some more!!!!!!!!* 😀 😀 😀 BRAVO Mary Elizabeth. BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s no wonder you’re so popular!! You are an exciting author!! This was the first book I have read by you, and you have taken me on the most exhilarating thrill-rides that I have been on in… shooooooooot…. I dunno. Months? A year? Years?

This was one of most captivating, engrossing, thrilling, unputdownable reads that I’ve read in a LONG time! I found myself rocking back and forth (<— seriously… I should have recorded it, but that would have been hard… I need a tripod). I had so much energy that needed a release so all I could do was rock back and forth as the whole thing culminated into that fantastic ending. I was cheering, tears welling up in my eyes, and loving every single moment of LOVING THE BAD GUYS!!!!!! read more

Book Review – The Baller by Vi Keeland

January 29, 2016 By Maryse 2 Comments

The Baller: A Down and Dirty Football Novel
Another fun read by author Vi Keeland, and I just realized I’m starting to rack up a nice little review repertoire of her books. I’m noticing that she’s one of my favorites and it’s so easy to see why. In fact, this book was #1 in ALL of Kindle books on Amazon, and made the NYT Best Seller’s list and the USA TODAY Best Sellers list. That’s not for nothing. 😉

Great writing, absorbing personal (and relatable) stories and characters. Best of all, the smooth flow of her stories, that have that authentic feel. Nothing rushed, nothing too eye-rolling, and yet still that *oomph* that keeps the reader both comfortable and on the edge of her emotional seat! Believable, realistic (and often hilarious) dialogue, and she’s got her “bad boys” down to a T. read more

Hells grave by Ivy archer! I’m on the 4th book and I love this series !

Finishing up Travis by Mia Sheridan and loving every page!

Dark Waters (Flame and Blade 3) by Meredith Hart. A swoon worthy fantasy romance series with well-written and unique characters. September is too long to wait for the final book.

Reading the final book of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhubters series, “City of Heavenly Fire’. It is amazingly good!

Bessa on Radish by Rachelle Mills (whiskeyqueen). Bessa and Borson are put to the test. Bessa can’t forget his betrayals and Borson has a mountain of redemption to climb but he does it step by step through the mud and the tears. Love it, I have read and reread it so many times 😍.

I just finished Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate...so well-written and so heart-wrenching. I'm now reading The Invitation by Vi Keeland.

I just finished The Poison Thread. It was fantastic Gothic horror

Hi Maryse, love your blog and book recommendations!! Can you suggest any amazing alpha historical, bodyguard or any epic alpha Lead books? Adore Kristen Ashley (of course) Thanks 🙏🏻 in advance xx

I'm on the 3rd book of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, Queen of the Damned.I am loving it so far. The movie was awesome but not in comparison to the book. In comparison, the movie butchered this story.

I am reading 'the thirst of a lessor God' by Rachelle Mills on radish. It is a must read for women I think. It is so right I tell you. The emotions are so intense that you would find yourself drowning in them!!!

Zodiac Academy Shadow Princess I am struggling. I mean, struggling. If it wasn’t for the fact that I am so far into the series, I would just stop. Frustrating!

I'm rereading Silver Silence by Nalini Singh.. And it's fantastic.. Not my favorite of her Psy-Changeling series but it's still a great book!

Red Thorns by Rina Kent ... A dark story but so far it's great! 🔥

That time I forgot what I was reading...OH its an Agatha Raisin book. Vicious Vet maybe? It fulfills my medical professional category for the library reading challenge. It makes me laugh

Currently reading BB Easton's Suit and I just got to tell you that I'm loving these individual books off these 4 men and I'm still crying my eyes out and have a lump in my chest because of the first one. So so so goooood!👌

This is one that has become my comfort read even though it's far from a light, feel good one. "Fin's Claim" by Rachelle Mills on Wattpad. Such an intense ride packed with emotion, a unique writing style and a super satisfying ending. Another one of hers that i keep coming back to is "His Alpha" on Amazon

I am still catching up on Brie's Submission series and carrying on with the True Blood Books and A Discovery of Witches!

"People of Color Destroy Scifi."It's an Anthology of short stories put out by Lightspeed magazine I heard about on Geeks Guide to the Galaxy Podcast. I liked it so much I bought three copies and mailed it my friends so we can chat about our favorites.

Dream little dream by suzanna Philips re-reading. I started with Carry the world from ur blog . Ur my guidance

Currently reading Odin’s prize by Rachelle Mills This is my comfort read. Actually all the books from the tribute series is my comfort read.

I am rereading the Song of Fire and Ice series 🔥🧊 🐉

The Good Lie is awesome!! (By AR Torre)

Thirst of a Lesser God by Rachelle Mills on Radish is a brilliant read!

Dark jewels series by Anne Bishop - amazing!

Just finished re-reading Loved By Liam by Melanie Moreland and started Lady Brazen by Scarlett Scott

FANTASY ROMANCE!! AMY HARMON ALERT! NO DAUGHTERS HAVE BEEN BORN IN YEARS

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #fantasyromance

“…An insidious curse is weakening the Norse kingdom of Saylok, where no daughters have been born in years. Washing up on these plagued shores is Ghisla, an orphaned stowaway nursed back to health by Hod, a blind cave dweller. Named for a mysterious god, Hod is surrounded by prophecy.

To Ghisla, he’s a cherished new friend, but to Hod, the girl is much more. For when Ghisla sings, Hod can see. Unable to offer safe shelter, Hod urges Ghisla onward to become a daughter of the temple, where all the kingdom’s girl children have been gathered.

But because of a magical rune, the two cannot be separated, no matter the time or the distance…”
