Outlaw
In the mood for an “easier” biker romance read? This one pretty much satiated my by biker sweet-tooth. It had a bit of that bad-a$$ thing going on, which is a must. I think it meant to have more, considering the initial subject matter and how they “handled” things, but it wasn’t quite to that gritty level. Still though, a touch of Kristen Ashley’s bad-boy speak, some drama a la motorcycle club (you know… territory issues, bad apples, witnesses… and “you don’t belong here” kinda stuff. ;)) and a whole lotta love. It had a bit of everything that some of our favorites had, but not quite enough to proclaim it a favorite. However, I was enjoying it and wanted to finish the book and can think back on it as a good “in-between” read.
My Book Reviews
Book Review – The Last Hour by Charles Sheehan-Miles
The Last Hour (Thompson Sisters)
Okay no spoilers in this but still, I’m gonna say this: If you are in the mood for a deep, detailed love/life story (both are equally prevalent), that will VERY likely make you sob, then stop reading this review and get this book. The writing is amazing, the story laid out so well. Profound, and you will feel it. I don’t want to give you any hints that might keep you from experiencing this one fully. Keeping that in mind, this one has been a bit more difficult to review.
Book Review – Wanderlust by Skye Warren
Wanderlust
<—- First off – BEWARE OF DARK READ!!! Enter this review (and book at your own risk). Deals with VERY difficult subject matter and I worried that it was too hard for me, in the beginning part, even if these are totally up my dark alley. But I’m glad I stuck with it. I ended up loving it.
Maryse’s Book Blog: Okay so I’m continuing my “Dark-read” weekend (impromptu, but I’m just in the mood for Dark and scary potential romance, it would appear).
Book Review – Mafia Captive by Kitty Thomas
Mafia Captive
I haven’t read all of Kitty Thomas’s books yet, but I’m already a HUGE fan. There’s a certain addictive quality to her writing and her dark tales that ensure I will read every single Kitty book out of her repertoire (and the sooner, the better). I just can’t get enough. Plus!! She’s one of “my firsts” (see my review for Comfort Food – I had never read anything like that before and was torn as to what I was feeling). It was my first super-dark-read with a side of questionable romantic connection and unnerving emotion, and I was… bonding with the monster!!? I was experiencing Stockholm Syndrome via a book! GAH!!! I couldn’t believe it (and yet I was titillated!)
Book Review – Blind Obsession by Ella Frank
Blind Obsession
Right off the bat, I’m going to say that a certain detail in the book was “spoiled” for me via a comment left in my… proximity. Due to this, my reading experience was unfortunately affected. I knew… “stuff”, and what could have been such an edge-of-my-seat read had me instead, reading from the outside looking in. Well… at times. 😉 There were a few enchanting, super-sexy risqué moments that made up for the spoilers. Yep… no matter what I “knew”, I could not deny feeling the intensity of those deeply affecting scenes.
