5 ‘Mayson’s Dirtiest Talker’ Stars 

Boy, oh boy… Or should I say, MAN, oh MAN! Because there is nothing boyish about Cobi Mayson: he’s all ALPHA! I think neither us, nor poor Hadley knew what was coming her way when she crossed paths with Cobi! *fanning myself*

I absolutely adore these series, both the Original Mayson and now both new generation ones, so I’m always giddy with excitement anytime a new Until book is announced and this was no exception, specially after that teasing ending on Until Harmony where we were left beyond curious about Hadley and Cobi after the snippet from his POV. 

Well, their story ended up surpassing my expectation, and Cobi, OMG, he went straight to my fav ARR H list! 

When I’m not with her I’m thinking about her and when I’m with her I’m thinking about all the things I want to be doing to her.

 

She’s a mystery to me. A mystery I want to spend the rest of my life trying to solve.

 

Since the moment she looked into my eyes I knew who she was to me, knew exactly what she meant for my future. Knew that she was MINE.

Swoon-worthy, attentive, protective, Alpha with a capital A this man couldn’t be topped of. Truly all the best qualities that made us fall in love with this Mayson men, Cobi had in spades, so when Hadley practically fell in his arms after a life threatening situation, not only his BOOM radar went off, but also all his Alpha male protective instincts took over. IN more ways than one, it was a life changing moment for both of them.

Hadley knew of Cobi from High School, but had never once expected that the popular boy would steal the breath out of her after the terror she had been through that night, much less that he would take charge and take care of her from then on. Something that, considering her sad and heartbreaking background, no one had done before: put her first.

What made me fall even more for this man was his devotion and attentiveness towards her. Considering the Mayson BOOM effect, I’d say he controlled himself quite well, and though unmoving in his intention, and his care for her, paid attention to her reactions and skittishness. He was so thoughtful, but still sure and strong. So much so that I was pleasantly surprised this ended up being more on the slow burn side – for a Mayson he was very patient, still caveman, but in a smoother way, lol – of the Mayson’s insta-love,  he completely stole my  heart, and when things took motion and sexy times started happening and he revealed his dirty talking side… OMG!!! He took the Boom to a whole new level of SCORCHING hot!!!

“Can’t fucking wait to feel this cunt squeezing my cock. Do you know how good it’s going to feel when I slide inside you? Know how good it’s going to feel when I fill you full with me?”

“You’re mine Hadley, mine until I take my last breath.”

He should come with a warning label! This level of Alpha male hotness can be dangerous! And combined with all his other fantastic qualities, it’s a lethal combo: to heart and panties everywhere, lol.

Hadley was an amazing character, beautifully crafted and her emotions and past really came forward and we could feel her yearning and sadness. Her pain and her disappointment towards her family brought me to tears more than once and I was so joyfully happy that she found Cobi. He would no doubt give her all her heart’s desire, and more, Something she had lost hope for long ago: a true FAMILY, in the form of the amazing Mayson clan.

I want that for her more than I want anything else, I want her to know deep down to her bones that she belongs, that she can be herself and that she has a family. Because one thing I know for certain is that at the end of the day the unconditional love a family can bring you is what will make you stronger as an individual.

Told you, perfect Alpha through and through! 

Evidently, he had a couple of moments were his Mayson’s OTT Alphaness took over, but that is part of their charm, and their women sure know hoe to handle them, and Hadley was no different. She was so strong and independent that he had his work cut out for him, but he also loved every second of her sassiness and even the stubbornness at times.

“One thing you’ll learn pretty quickly sweetheart is these Mayson men know how to use their words to piss you off one minute and melt your heart the next.”

“Until the end, until one of us cease to exist we belong to each other.” Tears fill my eyes and I rest my mouth on his.

“Until the end.”

4 ‘Friendship Love to Romantic Love’ Stars

Awww… Love With Me is just that: ALL kinds of Love, in all shapes and forms! Sweet, super sexy, emotional, and that trademark KP realism that just touches our hearts, Jace and Joy’s story is another With Me In Seattle success!

Knowing going in the premise and that Jace and Joy have been friends for the longest time, the very first year of college, I have to say I was surprised with the timing of the book, in which their book started. From the acknowledgement of their deep connection and true friendship in the Prologue, we are transported to a moment of enlightenment by Jace, driven also by other factors regarding his work, and a shift in the last couple of months of their relationship, he now realizes what has been also standing there right in from of him, his one true love.

I can’t explain what’s happening, other than I just can’t stay away from her.

From this point on, it was full steam ahead in the romantic spectrum, and no wonder, after all the years of complicity and friendship, the shock was only the amount of sexual attraction that they had been in denial of. Once that was uncovered… Oh la, la, the sizzle was ON!!! 

And every inch of the bottom of my foot is directly connected to my libido. Screw reflexology, this is vaginaology.

Joy truly was a joy of character: strong willed, independent, sassy and smart, much like most of Ms. Proby’s female characters, she was exactly the type of character we can relate, and feel a kindship with (minus the hate for shopping in this case, lol). 

Now Jace… Well, for a nerdy boy, he sure turned out a steamy hot man and lover! His confident and passionate nature regarding his work, truly reflect on his determination and romantic approach and decision to move them forward to where they were always meant to be. No one can say he didn’t woo and wowed her in the proper way. With his problems at work, he sure focused all that surgeon attention on proving to Joy, just how much they could risk, because they were meant to be.

“I’ve loved you for almost half my life,” I say into her hair. “But Joy, I’m in love with you.”

“It’s evolved from friendship love to romantic love,”

I have to say I was indeed surprised by the moment Ms. Proby had chosen to bring us into the story, because the timing felt kind of abrupt and that we couldn’t attest to that level of deep and natural friendship I expected to witness, as well as the slow development – or realization – towards these romantic feelings. That being say, I also understand the image of enlightenment and new step, Kristen Proby wanted to give us with this timeline, so that we could truly enjoy the LOVE story, and with the all snippets and revelations of their years of friendship that were revealed along the way, in the end we got the full picture, and though best friends, they hadn’t been that active participants  in the coming years, in each others lives, specially due to their super busy professions, therefore cementing the believability of the timing and the shift in their loving feelings towards one another.

She’s everything good in my world. She’s home.

Without a doubt another success in one of my all time fav series, and how amazing it was to see so many of the guys and girls from the WMIS gang! I truly am overjoyed with the return of this extraordinary series that hooked me up on all things KP, and with all those teasing moments regarding Levi and Starla, I’m DYING for their story!!! Let the stalking for the next With Me in Seattle begin! <3 <3 <3 <3

 

“This is who we are, Joy. This is you and me. Always. Even when it’s hard. When we fight and when we’re happy. We love each other.”

CONTROL

Author: K. Bromberg

Series: Everyday Heroes #3.5

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: November 13th, 2018

 

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author K. Bromberg comes a new story in her Everyday Heroes series…

Control is something Desi Whitman abhors. Why live life in black and white perfection when you can messily color outside the lines?

But when she comes face to face with SWAT officer Reznor Mayne, he’s about to show her just how good control can feel.

Amazon | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon AU 

 

 

 

4 ‘All About Control’ Stars

Desi and Reznor’s story truly was all about Control, and for such a little novella it packed quite a punch! Control was the perfect addition to one of my all time fav series, Everyday heroes: heart-touchingly emotional, raw and oh so ÜBER SEXY! 

Everyday Heroes is indeed one of my all time fav series, and every since Desi showed up in the first books as Em’s bff, I’ve been dying to find out more about the funny, flirty and outspoken pet groomer. Well, my wishes were fulfilled with this book, and I couldn’t be happier to find out all about Desi, and see her get her very own HEA.

HEA in the shape of SWAT officer, Reznor, a teamleader that is in dire need of a break after a terribly gone wrong task. Fate took him to Sunnyville and put him in direct path with the sassy Desi, that was hidden a problem of her own, stealing from her usually easy going personality, but still managing to completely captivate Rez, from the very first meeting. Rez was just the right man for Desi, in every way!

Incredibly sexy banter, a lot of push and pull – this woman really made him work for it! – and some of the most scorchingly hot sexual tension filled moments, and plenty of sizzling encounters, I’ve ever read! These two were explosive together! I loved Desi from the very first appearance, but man, Reznor – how sexy is that name, btw?! – really surprised me in the best of ways, and boy oh boy, did the smoking HOT SWAT leave an impression! Can someone say Alpha with a capital A???!!!! Swoon!

Ms. Bromberg truly gave us her usual stamp of superb writing and story telling, even in this compact format. Another huge gift was seeing two of my fav characters, Grant and Em, of the series, and getting a bit more of a glimpse into their HEA. Sigh…

Control was undeniably heart-pulling, witty and sensually charged! As always, and stamp for this 1001 Dark Nights, very much like Scheherazade, I was left craving more and more of Desi and Rez! Fingers crossed we will see more of them in future KB books! <3 <3 <3 <3

“We all have fears, Desi. Even the strongest of us have fears. It’s okay to have one—or many. It doesn’t make you weaker…it makes you human.”

“One time with you is definitely not enough for me.”

I wasn’t coming to Sunnyville to complicate my life, but damn it to hell, I like her kind of complication.

5 ‘The BEST of Situations’ Stars

Oh… My…. Heart… Bad Situation was so emotionally raw, incredibly sexy and  completely and utterly gripping, it instantly went to my favorites reads of 2018! Jen and Eli will definitely have a permanent spot in my booklover’s heart! Bad Situation was the PERFECT kind of Situation, I’d say… Sigh…

Coming as sort of crossover between Ms. Asher’s already amazing series, Carpinos and Killers, I couldn’t be happier in getting Jen and Eli’s story! For those of you, fangirls like yours truly, Jen is sister to Athica Lane’s Cam and Eli had a small – but relevant – appearance on Paths. So I was already intrigued by them as characters on their own, but these two together?! Oh boy, I was not ready for this level of chemistry!

Catching his dark eyes, they clash with mine and hold tight.  Not uttering a word, it’s like his gaze is trying to communicate with me.  If I only spoke dark, sexy eye-language.

Damn the erotic, misleading FBI agent.

From the very first look, first touch, the chemistry between them was SCORCHING! And that first meeting would mean so much more, specially when the true reasons behind the encounter are unveiled and Elijah’s FBI role comes forward and in how much it is connected to Jen! A Bad and complicated Situation indeed…

I’m the king of pushing boundaries and can walk the line of good and evil while always working for the good.  

“When I see something I want, I take it.”

A tricky situation, and with potential to blow up in their faces, but nothing or no one is going to prevent Eli from taking what – or better yet, WHO – he wants: Jenson Montgomery. This man… Alpha with a capital A, I tell you! From that very first instant he’s captivated like never before and knows he NEEDS Jen, and she needs him just as much. Now he just had to convince the tough and strong willed businesswoman of all that, LOL.

 This man, I trust him with my body.  It’s my heart I’m not so sure about yet. 

“Oh, fuck.”

“Not now, but definitely later when I can take my time with you.”

Elijah Petit, for a man of not many words, sure knew how to enchant us – and Jen, lol – with not only the most caring of actions, but some swoon worthy moments. Like I said, ALL the Alphaness: protective, possessive and passionate, and to top it of, there was no doubt that Jen came first, no matter the consequences. Swoon….

“I’m saying that I’ve never been more grateful that my instincts are on point.  Because I might’ve wanted you the first time I saw you, but right now? Baby, you throw all that other shit that should be standing between us out the window and the difference now is that I don’t see myself ever wanting anyone else.”

And Jen… Brynne Asher really outdid herself with this female character! Not many times we get to read in romance about female main characters in such high power roles, but sadly even less with such realism, and veracity to the character. Yes, Jen was beyond strong in all matters, but her hidden fragility, insecure moments, and unwavering femininity and strength completely won me over. She and her emotions were so incredibly real that I found myself crying – with is very rare for this blackhearted reader 😉 – more than once LIVING her feeling along with her. That’s jus how EXTRAORDINARY this book was!

“We’re might not be suited and started out in the worst situation ever, but I can’t get you out of my head, baby.”  

“I have no business being with you, but here I am, breaking every rule—both written and unwritten.”

Brynne Asher really knocked it out of the park with Bad Situations. As always the slow burn, the instant attraction and the incredibly creating world building talent were there, yet the outstandingly complex and real feeling characters always give it a brand new touch and remind me once again why the author is standing feature auto-read/all-time-fav list. You can not read these books and not fall in love right along with them. They hook you from the very start and you became addicted, and therefore, craving more and more. Exactly like here, Bad Situation gave us an amazing ending for Jen and Eli, but here I am already desperate for the next book, specially with those teasing bombs along the way! I need ALL the Montgomerys books STAT!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

This is what it looks like for two people to need each other with a desperation so deep, it hurts.  

“How did I get you out of such a fucked-up situation?”

THIS BOOK! Seriously, this book will knock your socks off! In the most paranormal and surprising of ways! It sure did to me and I loved every second of it! Refreshing, funny, smoking hot and just BRILLIANT!

I’ll do something very Un-Gi like here and keep it very short because for once in a very, very long time – if ever – I’ll tell you you need to go into this gem that is Styx ABSOLUTELY BLIND on all things. You seriously just need to know you will no doubt be shocked, wowed and most of all fall in LOVE with these characters and stories and in the end you will be, like myself, begging the author for book two. And three. And four! That’s how brilliant this story is!

“In all my time on this earth, I’ve never seen anything or anyone as beautiful as you. I could look at you for all eternity and still feel as though I were seeing you for the first time.”

Believe me when I say that the DISCOVERY of the storyline, and specially the characters and the mystery surrounding their identity is half the enjoyment of this book. Of course, I can say that Layla Frost’s hilariously funny heroine’s thoughts and lines are absolutely present as is Ms. Frost’s trademark deliciously Alpha hero, even if an unconventional one like this one – but normal is just SO overrated, right?! LOL – as jealous/possessive as they come, and the captivating and thrilling development that added with all the mysteries, just completely hook you and make you read this in one sitting.

“Now, never threaten to take away your touch again, or I’ll take that to mean you aren’t as addicted to me as I am to you. I’ll be forced to keep you in bed until we fix that.”

And when ALL is revealed and in the open, you will thank me for going in blind, because I want you to be just as surprised and shocked by the revelation as I was. And I’never surprised by a twist. Never! So kudos to Layla Frost for achieving that! So dive right now, as spoiler-free as humanly possible (believe me, I know the sacrifice, I’m a huge spoiler wh@re myself), and ENJOY all the twists and turns! Absolutely fitting for this Halloween week, and and the mystery appropriate and SO WORTH IT!

A truly unforgettable PNR story, that this PNR lover here can honestly say, like I’ve NEVER read before!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Ps. And yes, I’m already stalking for book two, which I NEED now!!!
