Take Me

She is one woman he should never touch…

Sole Regret’s enigmatic vocalist, Jacob “Shade” Silverton, is a consummate womanizer, but even he knows better than to get involved with one special woman from his past. Mixing friendship and pleasure can only lead to a broken heart, and he’s suffered enough heartache to swear off relationships for a lifetime.

He is one man she has always desired…

Amanda Lange knows all about Shade’s naughty reputation, but that doesn’t stop her from wanting to dive into the gorgeous rock star’s arms and his bed. She convinces herself that one night of passion won’t complicate their friendship, but can she convince him of that?

They’re both playing with fire.

Neither of them realized how far one kiss would take them. As the flames of their passion ignite with the intensity of an inferno, will either of them escape the experience without being burned or will both be branded fool enough to take a chance on a relationship that was marked for ruin before it even began?

Oh My God! I absolutely loved this book and so glad I have an awesome friend and co-blogger who gifted me with this book! We have been waiting to read about Shade, wanting to see what beneath those rock-star shades. If I'm going to be totally honest, I didn't care much for Shade in Gabe's story and even less so in Adams. I'm so glad I gave him a chance and read his story. Though Shade kills it on stage, I always wondered what he hid beneath the surface. 

I can honestly say I'm not disappointed and I totally fell in love with him. Him being Jacob. Shade is his stage name and he's so caught up in the persona, and is convinced that everyone only wants that part of him. That is until he comes home. Why he's there I cannot say because I don't want to ruin the story, but know I was so damn shocked and at the same time I fell in love with him on the spot. Why you ask well your just going to have to read to find out.

Then there's Amanda Lange. Who is she you ask? Well what if I told you she was his ex-wife's older sister. Shocker right! Well Amanda has been harboring this intense crush on Jacob and she finally decided it was time she do something about it.  Well Jacob is making it really hard because he thinks she unattainable. After his failed marriage he vowed he wouldn't do relrelationships, just cacasual sex. So when Amanda say's that's all she wants, the little dance they've been playing gets serious. I mean serious! Oral orgasm on the couch and a hook up in the jacuzzi, girl is getting a workout...its a prelude to Shade taking center stage. 

Although Amanda disagrees with Jacob slipping into the role of Shade so he can perform in his bedroom. As bad as I want to tell you why, you're going to have to read it! What I love about Amanda, is though she liked having the experince with "Shade" she threw his glasses off and wanted Jacob. He wakes up in the morning praying it was a dream, because he doesn't want to mess up what they have.. but it's really because he has these feeling for her, feelings he shouldn't have. 

So what happens? Does Jacob walk away and put on his Shade exterior or does he surprise them both by going back to Amanda and asking to see her again? Does Jacob realize that the only thing standing in his way of happiness is himself? You have to read to find out, you're going to love this book and Jacob as much as I do, guaranteed! 

-Dani 

*Shivers* Shade...... I was looking forward to this book because I knew that there was something behind his persona of "Shade".  I was right. There are so many things Shade likes to cover up with his shades but the one I will reveal....... His love for his daughter.  Didn't know he was married? Well WAS married?  I believe he is the only one in the band that has been.  Once you read how he is with his baby girl... you will be hooked by Mr. Jacob "Shade" Silverton.
Each if the books about Soul Regret are only ONE night.  Hence the titles.  This one...... IS AN AMAZING one night with Shade and Amanda. Who is Amanda?  Well you might be shocked that she is his ex wife's older sister.  Amanda has always had a crush on Shade..... well lets just say Jacob.  It also seems that Shade has had a thing for Amanda too.  Soul Regret is home for one night and each band member decides to go to their homes.  Shade has to pay a special visit to his little girl, and I must say I could do with out his ex.  She is one WITCHY woman! But then that is where Shade and Amanda reconnect and Amanda gives him a ride home. He asks her to hang out and lets just say Amanda tries to bring more of Jacob out than deal with "Shade". Can they connect?  And will Shade let himself feel? Find out..... It's REALLY an Hot yet Adorable side to him.

Confessions of an Alli Cat

 This book is not for the faint of heart. It contains explicit sexual situations and is intended for over the age of 18. This book is not for everyone, be prepared, if you get offended easily, this is not the book for you.

“You know what they say…a happy vagina is a happy woman. Well, they might not say that, but they should.” –Alli

Thirty-five year-old Allison “Alli” Lancaster has it all—a fabulous job, a beautiful 15 year-old daughter, a hilarious BFF and a gorgeous house with a pool and Jacuzzi in an exclusive Las Vegas neighborhood. What she doesn’t have is a husband, because she kicked her lousy, cheating ex to the curb nine months ago. Since then, Alli has paid her dues with seemingly endless self-improvement and seemingly endless mourning. Now she’s ready to move on and try new things.

Alli’s idea of “trying new things” is nothing like that devil-of-a-best-friend of hers. Somehow, Sara, the devil of a best friend, talks Alli into trying out a sex toy, sleeping with a younger man and letting a stranger in a

lab jacket put hot wax on a place that should never, ever, ever see wax. And that’s only the beginning.

Alli never saw her life going quite like this. She also never thought she’d meet someone else who had the very real potential to change her life forever.

But she did.

Enter the new guy. He’s gorgeous, refined and mature. He’s also marriage material. But that poses a problem for Alli, who renounced the institution of marriage when she renounced her ex. What’s a girl to do?

They say that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But what the heck happens when you can’t leave Vegas? Well, you spin the wheel, of course. You play the game and let the chips fall where they may.

Alli just hopes she can find them all.

                                                                 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

So Courtney Cole definitely took this book to the next level! Be prepared this is a book for the mature audience, if you are easily offended this is not going to be the book for you! Now that I took care of my warning, Oh my effing god! Yes, and I mean yes it is that good. Few I’m pretty sure I am going to be stalking random hot guys trying to find Colby or Shade, hell I want them both damn it.  Be prepared to laugh your ace off, seriously I couldn’t stop laughing. I absolutely love Alli and Sarah, well let’s just say Christina is my Sarah. Seriously love love love this book!  Ok so as you can see I love the book well let me get on to some background info.

So Allison Lancaster is recently divorced from “ Rick the Dick” and trust me he totally deserves that name, such a douchebag, anyways Sarah, Alli’s best friend , talks her into getting a few things. One being a dildo, yes that’s right ladies if a man can’t take care of you, there are some pretty awesome products available to fit your individual needs! Lol , I should totally sell pleasuring products right?! Umm no lol. Ok so the second thing Sarah talks Alli into doing, is hooking up a escort, well a juggalo since sex is involved.  This is when Shade is introduced. Shade is Alli’s juggalo and damn if that boy isn’t fine and knows what he’s doing! Oh and be ready to talk some cold showers after this, because the sex is hot.

Alli’s daughter Sophie is a swimmer, when Alli comes home to find Shade coaching her daughter, she kind of freaks out. Turns out her cougar’s playmate, Shade, turns out to be Colby, Sophie’s new swim coach. Colby assures her that he can compartmentalize everything and when he’s coaching Sophie he’s just Colby. I truly fall for Colby/Shade, like head over heels in love with him; I might have to take my ace down to the strip this weekend to see if I can locate him. Lol Then there is another guy, Alex. Alex is Alli’s new boss and they both have some intense chemistry from the start.  Things start to get really complicated and lines start to blur together.  

This is when I started to worry and when I start hating having two guys, because I end up liking them both and hate when one has to be chosen, sigh, I have to admit though I was a little disappointed on who was chosen, I can see the practically of it.  I absolutely love Colby and I love Alex, so who do you think Alli Cat decided to choose? Well you’re going to have to read to find out! 

-Dani

Confessions of an Alli Cat..... OH MY!  WOW.  So Alli has been divorced and is not sure if she wants to date.... Her friend wants to get her out there and suggests she have a night with a gigolo.  Alli is SOOOOOOOOOOOO not for this but tries it anyway. This is where her "escort" Shade comes in.  HE shows her a side of herself that she thought was lost or was never there.  Let me tell you you want to read this because Alli's thoughts are so hilarious.  After her night with Shade, Alli's friend encourages her to get a Brazillian wax.  Can I tell you I laughed so hard I cried!  OMG her reactions to it were just too funny! Alli continues her fun with Shade and is learning all sorts of tricks for the bedroom.  Her daughter gets this new swim coach..... and his name is Colby..... WOW what do you know.... it's SHADE! lol  This shocks her, however they develop a friendship that I hoped would go farther.  But then you bring in Alli's Boss.  Who is more her age....... and where are Colby and Alex (the boss) Connected?  You need to read this to find out.  I laughed all through the book. IT was so funny!

I feel if I explain more I would rob you of this AWESOME story!  Get the book and read away! :)

Seduction and Snacks

Claire is a twenty-something, single mom that grudgingly helps her best friend sell sex toys while she attempts to make enough money to start her own business to give her foul-mouthed, but extremely loveable (when he's asleep) toddler a better life.  

When Carter, the one-night-stand from her past that changed her life forever, shows up in her hometown bar without any recollection of her besides her unique chocolate scent, Claire will make it a point that he remembers her this time.  

With Carter's undisguised shock at suddenly finding out he has a four-year-old son and Claire's panic that her stretch marks and slim to none bedroom experience will send the man of her dreams heading for the hills, the pair will do whatever they can to get their happily ever after.

Warning: contains explicit sex, profanity and enough sarcasm to choke a horse.

Ok so Christina and I both need a really good funny read, and boy did she pick a good one. Autumn, from Autumn Review was raving about this book and well Christina decided it was time we read it. Not only was this book hilarious, I mean bust out laughing and crying hilarious, but it was sweet and majorly sexy as well. 

So Claire, a sarcastic “good girl” that is so my type of girl. I can totally relate to her in so many ways. Well her roommate and best friend Liz talks her into going to a Phrat party, a party that will change her life. Why you ask, well these guys come up to them and she notices this one guy around the time a girl named, Niki pushes her into this mysterious guy that has captured her attention when he quotes a phrase from her favorite movie. A few games of beer pong and many laughs later, Claire finds herself waking up in the arms of said guy. Her Virgin card has been cashed in by a guy whose name she doesn’t know…. One night stands are ok right, well they are until you come up pregnant and have no clue the name of the guy you gave it up to. Spending months looking for the one night stand with no luck, Claire moves back home with her father.

Carter is waking up from a dream where he smells chocolate, opening his eyes to see that he’s completely alone, and is wondering if he dreamt the whole night. As he starts getting dressed he’s noticed his “Weiner” has blood on it and begins freaking out. With the help of his best friend Drew, he realizes the girl he just had sex with was a virgin. Wondering why she would give him something so special he feels guilty for the way it went down and wants to apologize, so he starts looking for her. 

Four years later, Claire is working as a bartender and is raising her son Gavin. After being tricked into helping Liz sell “dildos” and do sex parties, Claire is running late for her shift.  Carter is sitting at the bar drinking his sorrows after being dragged out by Drew, you see Carter just caught his ex-cheating on him. When a breeze goes by him he smells a familiar smell that brings him back in time to 5 years ago and the one night stand he had with a girl he couldn’t forget. Claire doing was filling an order and turned around to look at the guy talking to his shot glass to see the eyes that haunt her every day. Carter works at the plant with Jim, Liz’s fiancé, and after talking to him about the mystery girl from 5 years ago, Jim invites him and Drew over for dinner, a dinner Jim knew Claire would be attending.  

Now I don’t want to give too much away, but you can’t deny the attraction between Claire and Carter at that dinner. Carter and Claire start getting to know each other after that night, but Carter can tell Claire is hiding something from him….does she tell him? Well coming to see Claire at her shop, Carter notices Gavin, and let me tell you Gavin is so damn adorable and has a mouth of a sailor! It’s cute so you can’t get too mad and frankly it’s hard as hell to keep a straight face. Well right when things start to get serious, Carter smells that same familiar smell from 5 years ago…… does he finally connect the dots? When Gavin walks back into the store and calls Claire mommy, does Carter realize that Gavin is his son?  Do Claire, Carter, and Gavin get a shot at being a family?

 

Go get the book to find out, trust me you will not be disappointed, Seduction and Snacks is by far the best book I’ve read this week!

-Dani 

SO I TOTALLY Loved and Needed this book this week. I laughed so much reading this book. Claire is so sarcastic and I love it! The way she talked about having babies and that your Vagina looks like a Roast Beef Sandwhich after having a kid, cracked me up. 

So Claire has a one night, drunken, stand with a guy that she does not know what his name is.  She basically gives him her virginity.  As she said... "Wraped it up in a pretty bow and handed it over".   At 20 she finds herself pregnant.  She does try to look for this mystery guy...... can't ever find him. She goes home and stays with her dad, who helps her raise her son. 

Carter Can't remember if he slept with a girl or not. He just woke up with blood on his "manhood".  He freaks out a bit. He was pretty drunk too.  Bits and pieces come back to him but all he can remember is the beautiful girl that smelled like chocolate. He started looking for her right away too. 

4 years pass and Claire is working back home in a bar.  Her dad helps her raise her son.  Her friend LIZ, lets just say I want a friend like her. She is engaged to a guy named Jim who is just as funny.  Claire's son (Carters too), Gavin is hilarious.  As a 4 year old he knows TOOOOOOO many bad words and things about life which make it so funny from a 4 year old perspective.  "Why is my wiener so big?" Yep that is just ONE of the many things he says.  This kid is hilarious.

We find that Carter and his friend Drew have moved to town and end up working at the same place as Jim.  Jim realizes WHO Carter is after he mentions a girl he slept with.  Jim invites them to dinner where Claire will be.  Claire knows who he is but it does take time for Carter to realize Claire is the girl he had searched for. You will see how the connection is made.  I love how Carter just jumps right in. (after a freak out week).

There are SO many quotes that I would love to post here but truly I would not get all the ones that made me laugh in.  I recommend you sit down, and read this awesome story!

Hot Property

Serena Garrison is in the midst of an epic dry spell. The pretty real estate agent can't seem to sell a house or find a decent date. She desperately needs to get her groove back in both departments. It certainly doesn't help matters that her family business, Kingston Brothers, has hired the object of her teenage lust to be their senior landscaper or "Exterior Property Development Consultant." Now he's everywhere, reminding her of their humiliating history together and threatening the future of her family business with his crazy and costly ideas. All she needs to do is avoid Mark, sell a house, and find someone suitable to spend her life with. If only Mark wasn't quite so drool-worthy and difficult to ignore.

A busted knee has shortened his career with the NFL, but Mark Goldsworthy has returned to his hometown on a mission. First, to make restitution for his alcoholic father's part in almost ruining Kingston Brothers. Second, and most importantly, to claim the woman he's always loved. Part one of his plan is going according to schedule, but part two is going nowhere. Serena isn't an adoring and awkward teenage girl anymore, and she doesn't want anything to do with him, which makes claiming her a bit difficult. But he's more than up for the challenge.

Warning: Contains erotic situations and some graphic language

So this book was a short read but it was so worth it! There is a few sex scenes, so be aware that this is for the mature audience.  Also there is a reference to Nazi nature so be advised. 

 Serena, a real-estate agent, whose had a rather rough time, not only in selling houses but romantically as well. Now she’s faced with someone from her past, someone who she’s been in love with since she has been 14. Rejection from him at 18 has made her hold a grudge for a decade, but will she be able to hold onto the façade of hating him or will she succumb to her desires?

Mark, a former football player, turned landscaper once his knew was blown out, is back home running the family business after his father drank himself to oblivion. Then there’s Serena. The one girl he wanted to bad 10 years ago but denied himself so he didn’t rob her of her innocence the way he was robbed. She’s just as fiery and determined as he remembers, but can he convince her to take a chance on him?

Weddings…. They seem to be a turning point in Serena and Mark’s life; will the second wedding go better than the first? Will they finally admit the obvious?  

-Dani 

WOW what can I say about this book. LOVED IT! Serena has loved Mark since they were teens.  Although he was way OLDER.  And now They work together in the relestate market!  Her cousins own a building company that builds amazing homes.  Serena is a Relastate agent that Sells their homes. Mark has taken over his fathers landscaping buisness and does the landscaping for their properties.  He has wanted Serena since she was 15.  Can Mark win her feelings? AND Can Serena get passed her..... well Bitchness to see the wonderful man that Mark is?  Her cousins all play a part in their getting together.... it makes me laugh. This was a sweet short read. Some Hot Scenes too!

Reflected in You

Gideon Cross. As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. I couldn't stay away. I didn't want to. He was my addiction... my every desire... mine.

My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We’d never work. It was too hard, too painful... except when it was perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity.

We were bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession...

Buy Reflected in You on Kindle  HERE and on Nook  HERE
Be Advised that This book contains sexual situations and is for a mature  audience.

So I’ve come to really hate the second book in the series, sigh, not really but kind of lol. OK so Sylvia Day has me at the edge of my seat yet again, and I honestly cannot wait for the third book in the series to be released. Yes, I know Reflected in You was just released on the 2^nd but what can I say, when we get into a book, it’s impossible to put down. It’s a sickness really, If I could devote all my time to reading, I seriously would. 

I was so worried about this book with all the problems going on in Bared to You, and though nothing too horrible happens, I’m glad my mind was put to ease. I have to admit, Christina finished before me so I got the reassurance that everything was ok and to just TRUST Gideon. So I’m telling you now readers remember when things get rough to TRUST Gideon!  I’m really afraid to type, because I don’t want to give away anything, so I’ll do my best to keep important thing secret!

So let’s see, one character I could have lived without is Corinne. Seriously can’t stand her and my hatred only intensified in this book! It seems like a lot of things happen all at once and then at the same time it seems as though nothing has happened. I know it doesn’t make sense and I’ve probably could word it better, but that’s basically how I feel.  The rundown is this; Corinne is still in love with Gideon obviously and is making Eva’s issues with trusting Gideon stressful. Then one of Eva’s exes comes back into play when they attend a concert, Brett, well let’s just say Gideon is very sexy and what says love then throwing a few punches? Curious? Well your going to have to read to see what sets Gideon off! Poor Cary becomes collateral damage in the worse way…and the huge, and when I say huge I mean HUGE problem arises when the one who robbed Eva’s childhood from her comes into play….what happens to Eva and Gideon? What does Gideon do? Does Gideon finally open up and share some of his past, does he finally say those three little words Eva is dying to hear? The main question is this….. There is a consequence to all actions, will Eva forgive Gideon? 

If you’re not dying yet to read what goes on in the epic love story involving Gideon and Eva, I don’t know what more I can say without giving too much away. So go buy the book, the link are located by the picture and sit on the edge of your seat with me while you fall head first into the waves of Gideon and Eva.

-Dani

So last week you saw that I LOVED Bared to you by Sylvia Day. Well Her Second Crossfire book just Came out! I was so excited and nervous at the same time. Reflected into You was a PAGE turner from the beginning. Second Books usual set up a premise for the third and are usually filled with issues that need resolving.  This one..... pretty much did that.  I wanted to see how Eva and Gideon would do.  They started off strong and then "old ex fiance' issues" came into play.  UGH I hate Corrine.  She needs to go back to where she came from!

Cary.... I Love Cary! He is that crazy friend that you just can't help but laugh with. Poor guy has issues of his own. He is bi-sexual and to me, he is just not sure where to place himself in his life. He is so sweet with Eva, I just want to see him happy.  Something nasty happens to him in this book and it makes me mad. He really is a Doll.

Eva and Gideon are so in love ...... so much is weird crazy! I love it. They are trying to forge their relationship and still deal with their "ISSUES".  Both have been abused.  You will actually get to see WHAT happened to Gideon when he was smaller. I WAS Horrified! Poor man! Eva learns so much through research of her own.  This all takes place because she thinks he is giving up on them.  He Keeps Saying "TRUST ME".  (no he is NOT cheating TRUST ME) Please do... because what Gideon has done... is nothing short of WOW.(good wow, like protect Eva from harm and evil sexual predator brothers wow)  In the End, their love is so strong.  I Felt like.... waaaaaa waaaa wait..... but then I saw it.  I can't wait for Book 3.  Crosstober has been a great month so far! You might think.... wow this was a short review..... I would give WAY to much away if I told you everything! lol Go Read it NOW  :)

Bared to You

Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness...

He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I'd never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily...

Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other's most private worlds...and desires.

The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart...

I don’t even know where to begin, I’ve read Bared to You twice now and it’s even better the second time around. It was recommended by one of Christina’s friends for us to read after we read 50 Shades of Grey for like the umpteenth time, so we tried it out and I can safely say we absolutely Love Gideon.  I think it’s a girl complex, you know when you love the troublesome, broody, guys who you want to fix….yeah Gideon is definitely one of them. So is Eva. 

Eva Tramell just landed a job in an Ad Agency as an assistant to a Junior Partner, Mark. Mark is totally awesome and I love him and his boyfriend Steve. This is one of the things I love about Sylvia Day; she provides a variety of characters. Ok so Eva lives with her best friend Cary, he’s a bisexual guy who has his own problems. Eva and Cary met in group therapy, to know more back story you’ll have to read the book. The day before her first day of work, Eva decides to time her way to work so she sets off. Once she makes it to Crossfire, she helps pick up some change when she literally falls on her butt in front of the very mysterious and sexy Gideon. 

Gideon and Eva run into each other often and so Gideon propositions her, at first it doesn’t fly with Eva. His approach was rude to say the lease and with good reason once you learn the reason behind why Eva is troubled. Eventually her wall is broke down and she succumbs to Gideon and his all-consuming kisses and touch.  Their “first time” however changes the agreement they set in place. Eva is falling hard and fast, Gideon is falling right alongside.  Gideon is plagued with nightmares from his past, Eva has a secret to share with Gideon, Is this the end before it began? What’s Eva’s secret and does she tell Gideon? What’s Gideon having nightmares of, will he share? Is their love enough to surpass their pasts to where they have a future? You’ll have to read to find out what happens next.

-Dani

Of Blood and Bone

Love is dangerous…

“I’m a monster, Eva. There is no saving a monster. But I love that you want to try.”
My heart constricts at the expression on his face. He has no hope for himself, so I have to hope for him.
“You’re not a monster,” I argue softly. “You’re a man, Luca. A man like any other, you’re made of blood and bone.”

As a little boy, Luca Minaldi was told he was a monster.
As an adult, he knows it is true.

He lives in Malta, a fairytale-like place

filled with sunshine and sea, beauty and secrets. And Luca’s darkest of secrets is the best kept of them all.

Eva Talbot is spending the summer in Malta to finish up her doctoral dissertation. When she meets Luca, a mysterious and handsome shipping tycoon, there is an instant attraction, a disturbing and beautiful energy that she has never felt before. But she senses the darkness that lives within him.

Eva is hired to care for his mother, who suffers from dementia, but it is Luca who Eva will eventually risk everything to save. Her life becomes a swirling chaos of darkness and romance, of secrets and mystery. And the question that emerges will become the most important answer of all.

Can she save Luca from the darkness that plagues him without losing herself?

The answer is a matter of life or death. 

So Courtney Cole is another one of my favorite authors, seriously if you guys haven’t read any of her books you are clearly missing out! This book is a little more adult than her normal YA and I think I love it that much more because of it. To check out the backstory of this book be sure to check out her blog! 

So just reading the synopsis, you would think it’s paranormal, reading it you would think it’s paranormal, that is until you get towards the end and then you’re going to be like OMG! Ok but before I get ahead of myself some characters need to be introduced! So there is Evangeline “Eva” Talbot, who came to Malta to work on her dissertation. Waking up in the middle of the night because of a spider screams and the very hot, secretive Luca Minaldi comes to her rescue.  Luca is like royalty to Malta, and he is very, very secretive. Then there is Adrian, sigh, keep your eye on him. It’s sad because I really liked Adrian now well, I’ll just say betrayal is a bia!

So with that being said, there are some killings going on in Malta. Luca’s mother is a handful and Eva helps her out for Luca. Then there’s the undeniable attraction between Luca and Eva. When Eva finds a dead body, Luca wants to keep her safe, so she moves in to the estate with him. Luca is keeping a secret. Is Eva really safe though?  

This book is so amazing. Luca is super sexy and I seriously cannot wait for the next book in this series!

-Dani

At first I was not sure WHAT this book was going to be because I read the exerpt and thought... it sounds paranormal, but I was told it wasn't.  Then I started to read the book and was like "ARE YOU SURE it's NOT"? I was wrong!!!  Eva Goes to Malta to work on her dissertation. She has been there before and LOVES the city.  She has a way of reading people after she meets them. She meets the very wealthy Luca Minaldi and things start to change.  There are murders of young women going on in Malta and many caution Eva to be careful.  When Eva encounters a Dead girls body on the beach, Luca invites her to stay with him.  But he isn't sure that is the best idea but he wants to keep her safe.  See Luca has something strange that happens to him that he can not control.  Can Eva help him?  Read to find out.  I loved this book and LOVED Luca.  Poor guy is sweet and tormented. I however DO NOT like Adrian, read to find out why. I bet you don't either.

Cash is everything she’s always wanted in a guy.  He’s a dangerous, sexy bad boy who wants her in his bed at any cost.  He turns her insides to mush and, with just one kiss, makes her forget why he’s no good for her.

Nash is everything she’s ever needed in a guy.  He’s successful, responsible and intensely passionate.  But he’s taken.  Very taken, by none other than Marissa, Liv’s rich, beautiful cousin.  That doesn’t stop Olivia from melting every time he looks at her, though.  With just one touch, he makes her forget why they can never be together.

Black and white turns to shades of gray when Olivia discovers the boys are hiding something, something that should make her run as far and as fast as she can.  But it’s too late to run.  Olivia’s already involved.  And in love.  With both of them.

Both brothers make her heart tremble.  Both brothers set her body on fire. 

She wants them both.

And they want her.

How will she ever choose between them?

Oh and be sure to check out the playlist for the book...AMAZING, seriously listened to it while I wrote this review and loved it!! Check it out!! 

Oh my Freaking God, that’s right the simply OMG would not suffice! Michelle Leighton is seriously my favorite author, I have a long list, but she tops out at one so much that I have to say it! I love everyone else, don’t get me wrong but there is just something about the way Michelle captures my attention from the very first word. I have to admit I was totally worried when I did the cover reveal and read the blurb…love triangle, not really my thing…but somehow I totally loved this one! I was so worried about who I was going to hate, let’s be honest, you always have a favorite!!!

So before we get into that, let’s introduce some characters first. If you haven’t read any of the excerpts, the three main characters are as follows: Olivia Townsend , Cash and Nash Davenport *sigh* … then there are other’s that are not so quite important but play some roles…like Marissa, Olivia’s snobby cousin that I hated immediately, with perfect reason, trust me you will too! But it’s not about Marissa…it’s all about Olivia and the fact that she is totally and completely being sucked into two sexy brothers. 

Let’s start with Cash, since he is the first brother we are introduced to. Olivia thought Cash was the stripper….well turns out he’s the owner of the club they are at…slightly embarrassing right? I’m pretty sure my face was crimson when I read that! He is the embodiment of a sexual god. Has the bad boy persona down to a science, has tattoos, owner of a strip club…only thing he’s lacking is a motorcycle right? Well later on that comes into play ;) ….Then there is the other brother, Nash… Olivia meets Nash, well frankly because he’s dating Marissa. Nash is the complete opposite of his brother. Perfect so it would seem, the good boy that her mother ingrained in her to “need”… he’s a lawyer, girls get your fantasies going, hot sexy lawyer bending you over the desk….wait sorry back to the book ;)

So obviously Olivia has some sexy men in her life all of a sudden…but who is she going to choose, was there even a choice? I mean Cash is available, very available, and is waiting for her to say yes. Nash, on the other hand she finds herself drawn to because he’s the “good” boy she thinks she needs in her life but he’s with Marissa…right? Let me tell you when I say you have to read this book, I mean YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!!! I was fighting myself the whole way through it trying to hate one of the brothers and I just couldn’t! They are both perfect in their own ways….so who does Olivia end up with you ask? Cash or Nash?? You are going to have to read that to find out, but believe me when I say you are going to be so damn shocked but at the same time relieved, I know I was!! Oh and the sexiness of this book is so damn HOTT that I had to fan myself a few times and will definitely be going to take a cold shower momentarily! It was the perfect balance of sexiness and comedy, Olivia sure is funny, I’ll tell you what….my favorite line of the whole book is this…”I’m just glad I didn’t pee all over myself.” Seriously busted out laughing so hard, I almost peed on myself, no joke! So with that I leave you to go buy this book and fall in love with Cash, Nash, and Olivia.

WOW! Warning : not for young readers.

I love love Michelle's books! This one is by far a favorite!
When Olivia goes to a bachelorette party at a club she has an interesting encounter with the one Cash Davenport. 

Olivia lives with her cousin who is dating this guy who looks... WHAT?? Like Cash?? Only to find out its his Twin Nash. She is attracted to both. Nash likes Olivia and flirts with her as well. Olivia tries to just be friends with Nash because that's not fair to Marissa, her cousin. 

On a trip home, where Cash follows, Olivia has a chance to see there is more to this bad boy. She like both traits of Cash and Nash. When a twist in the story has Olivia blown over, who will she get to be with? Trust me, read this book to find out! It's NashCashmic! Another WINNER from Michelle!
