Goddreads description:

In the court of King Henry VIII, nothing is free--
and love comes at the highest price of all. 

When Kitty Tylney's best friend, Catherine Howard, worms her way into King Henry VIII's heart and brings Kitty to court, she's thrust into a world filled with fabulous gowns, sparkling jewels, and elegant parties. No longer stuck in Cat's shadow, Kitty's now caught between two men--the object of her affection and the object of her desire. But court is also full of secrets, lies, and sordid affairs, and as Kitty witnesses Cat's meteoric rise and fall as queen, she must figure out how to keep being a good friend when the price of telling the truth could literally be her head.

There's Kitty and there's Kat. She's the Kitty to her Cat they said. She loyal while the other is manipulative. She's a friend while the other a backstabber. Thought they remained together no matter what. Together until the end they said.

The book passes a friendship based on lies. Catherine and Katherine. Cat is the popular beautiful one while Kitty depends on her to live a decent life, because if one of them is going to make it it's going to be Cat. Kitty is not pretty and she can only relay on her youth and friend if she wants to be remembered. She is smart and perceptive. The point of view is told by Kitty Tylney, she is a really realistic character remembered  by her determination, strength and loyalty. Cat is a brat, self centered bitch.

They dreamed with the court and with Cat being married to the King now they finally made it. The story of they're past life's is gonna come on top and it's begin for trouble, there's many loose ties waiting to burst. The life at court is full of lies and dishonesty.  Cat thinks she can overcome all of this and boss her way in. well she is not the only smart person inside the scheming group and soon all the moves she made against everyone will come back and bite her in the ass. The problem is she will not be the only one affected. After all, Loyalty is not so forgiving.

The book hooked me from the start. Normally i don't like historical romances but this one is so full of intrigue and deceive it drove me crazy and begging for the next thing to happen.   The scenery is so good, the life at court so specific  and the characters so amazing you learn to love it.
And yes there is a bit of romance <3

 

I love a really good heat-steamed, hot, and taunting relationship, so this book blew me away

I give it a good old 4.3 stars.

Zach Sheridan does not want a mate. At all. All he wants is to became the next Alpha male in Magnus Pack and he plans it for now, he's just waiting for the right time to pounce. He despises that idea of a mate until he meets the alluring Sara, her attitude drives him crazy with need though she has no idea that she is a Shifter. He does not want a irresponsible, taunting, loud, crazy girl on his tracks most of all because her hormones are going crazy, her attitudes reckless and all she wants his to have fun and be free.

Sara is an intricate character she is stubborn and likes to talk back, especially to Zach. After a crazy childhood with an even crazier grandmother she is ready to give up, if not for the crazy friends that got her back. Angelina and Nikki. Those three drive everyone of a cliff. They are loud, rude and very sexy to every other male in the pack and in they're little town. They argue and they make up.
 Sara has it full with trouble having to deal with these two, all that she Doesn't need is an all out Bad boy, hot blooded male coming to her rescue or falling for her. She will try to escape though maybe her place is indeed with him. As his MATE.

The book is full of animal on animal fighting, discussions of two soon to be lovers that crash with one another, hot Texan gals and boys and pretty bad boys that will do anything to get what belongs to them....

4.o stars.

Goodreads

Sinthia wants to escape college unscathed and move on with her plans for a perfect life, but an unlikely friendship with Collin, the resident bad-boy, makes her rethink what she wants.

It's a very small description i know but so is the book with only 190 pages.  Can you believe it? I really enjoyed it so when it ended it was sad.
It makes you smile, it makes you frown , it makes you go like "Oh God Why?"  but it makes you love them as well.
Thought it's small, so very small, it has a big story. It's fast paced  and a little rushed you see they're stories in a blur, weeks later later, five years later ...
Anyhow. No it doesn't have any sin in the stories. The girl is named Sin, thanks to Collin...
Oh Collin green eyes and dark hair..... And so very yummy with abs (of course) and a smile that is to die for.


Then you have Beef (Sin laugh every time she says is name) is supposedly is a family name. not.

Then you have Jake who is like a brother to her and protects her and at last
Taylor her bff. kind of. She likes to party and to sleep of with boys.
Sin is great, a bit naive, but cute and interesting at some points.



So the book shows a relationship growth from a girl that only barely has a friend (girl) and just by going out one night suddenly is inside a group that is very reckless, everything that Sin is not. She starts by being they're Wingman  and getting the girls for the boys but she and Collin start to grow near each other and she wants it to stop. Because never in a million years he would be the kind of guy you would bring home to your mother at least not in Sin's standards.
So she finds a new guy. A NERD!  She grows apart from the group and starts dating a guy that never wants to have fun thought he makes the mistake from calling her a slut in front of Collin and the hell comes on us. They break up and more i am NOT going to tell. Partially because the ending is awesome and you have to see what's beyond that part which is totally cute.
It's a book to finish in two-three hours depending.

Goodreads :

Dory is used to fighting hard and nasty. So when she wakes up in a strange scientific lab with a strange man standing over her, her first instinct is to take his head off. Luckily, the man is actually the master vampire Louis-Cesare, so he’s not an easy kill.

It turns out that Dory had been working with a Vampire Senate task force on the smuggling of magical items and weaponry out of Faerie when she was captured and brought to the lab. But when Louis-Cesare rescues her, she has no memory of what happened to her.

To find out what was done to her—and who is behind it—Dory will have to face off with fallen angels, the maddest of mad scientists, and a new breed of vampires that are far worse than undead…

The day i got the book :












The first few pages were quite confusing with a fight scene awesomely vivid and some craziness by Dory. She wakes up in a strange lab with a read-head telling her that he is her boyfriend. Shocker she told him to go to hell. But they fought anyway and ran. So the awaking up in the room routine starts. You will know what i mean in just about a moment.

Karen chance kills me in what comes to romance, action and twists and turns. She's the best hands down, although her books sometimes can drag on for pages with the same things.  A conversation in this book can last up to thirty pages, that's big... and sometimes saying the same.

"Sometimes I don’t make sense, even to me."  Dorina

The book really did it for me, (the multiple character disorder) it was fast paced and very well described with enough romance, action and sort of horror scenes to appeal to all kinds of tastes.
Her relationships developments were extraordinary,

1# Ray. She becomes his master without really wanting it, meaning he went to the senate telling them she protected him and now she was his protector. Dory went speechless. That guy can seriously kick ass, not, though he is really good bringing the mood up, he always has something happening to him. Either it's his ass getting burned (literally) or getting kidnapped buy some serious dangerous people.

 “So I guess this makes me your sidekick, right?” he asked. “Like I could be…" 

“Robin?” 

He scowled. “I ain’t no Robin.” 

“What’s wrong with Robin?” 

“What’s wrong?” Ray rolled his eyes. “Two words: green Speedo. And he was lame. Batman was always having to save his ass.” 

I didn’t say anything. 

“Hey, I was doing okay before you showed up. All right?” 

I decided not to comment on that, mainly because I hadn’t been doing any better. “So Robin’s out.”

2# Mircea (her father). So she hates him pretty bad because he messed up with her memories making her forget about her mother and uncle (Dracula oh yeah), she always blamed him for her existence and always though he didn't quite liked her. He proved her wrong either physically and verbally. He tries, he really does but she's just no that into it. In the book we get some flashes of they're life that he erased. The loves he has for her is evident in the memories, she is a child and he reads for her and tells her that to keep her safe they have to move over and over again but he will never give up on her. Never. Thought everyone tells him that he should kill her now and avoid danger later. He doesn't do it. He loves her badly, she is his daughter after all.

But his face was drawn and his eyes were pained as he looked down at me, and there was a strange expression on his face: defiance and fierce pride and something that looked like wonder, all jumbled up.

Ohhh. For the first time she actually believes he loves her.

3# Louis-Chesare. The love interest, because no book could be good without one. So, they are always interrupted by someone when they are getting they're freak on (yup i just said that) and she thinks de isn't serious about her, because previously everyone is reluctant either to touch her or be near her. But he is different and she feels it and is afraid.

“He’s stupid about you,” Ray said, glaring at me. “And you’re stupid about him. You’re both stupid about each other, which would be great if you weren't also really fucking stupid—” “Ray.”

This says it all. In the end all ends well though. She lets her fences down and lets him in making them an official couple. AHHHHH

After a while, it got a little better, and I rolled over and watched the vampire instead. He was more interesting—a lot more, I decided, as the firelight danced over fascinating hills and valleys, hard muscle and soft creases, and picked out fiery glints in the dark mass of his hair. And in the brilliant blue eyes that slowly opened to blink at me. An arm reached out and tugged me over, and I went grinning, sprawling on top of him bonelessly. And pleased to discover that, yes indeedy, he wasn’t wearing anything except a satiny comforter. Of course, that was kind of a problem, too, because silken sheets and satin bedding and sleek vampire turn out to be kind of slippery. I started to slide off the other side, but hands came up to grip my waist. I smiled sloppily at their owner.

And it ends they're suffering of one another like this. :D:D:D


The book is ginormous. I say more relationships with Louis-chesare, more love and caring for her father and less pages for sure. It will be the perfect book next.
And while i wait for it i will reincarnate Dorina with everyone else.

All she wants is the present
but tomorrow is waiting...

Goodreads:

Jocelyn Butler has been hiding from her past for years. But all her secrets are about to be laid bare…

Four years ago, Jocelyn left her tragic past behind in the States and started over in Scotland, burying her grief, ignoring her demons, and forging ahead without attachments. Her solitary life is working well—until she moves into a new apartment on Dublin Street where she meets a man who shakes her carefully guarded world to its core.

Braden Carmichael is used to getting what he wants, and he’s determined to get Jocelyn into his bed. Knowing how skittish she is about entering a relationship, Braden proposes an arrangement that will satisfy their intense attraction without any strings attached.

But after an intrigued Jocelyn accepts, she realizes that Braden won’t be satisfied with just mind-blowing passion. The stubborn Scotsman is intent on truly knowing her… down to the very soul.

So the book is awesome. The way Samantha writes is unique and talented. She draws us into the story and tells us to deal with her characters. This book has everything you want in a romance. It has the bad boy, the damaged girl, the perfect family, the normal traumas, and the giddy sister.  What else could you possible want.
I devoured this book so fast i regret it ending now. I might read it again in a few months, that's how much i enjoyed it.
I would really advise this book. It's great and the characters are perfect, you can tell they're thoughts and actions, you get used to them, and they are so unique you fell bad for them when something bad happens.
All the fights and good moments, the memories and the crying brings out in you some kind of felling.


Jocelyn and Braden and Ellie and Adam. The two main couples of the book. Here are some of they're story

(SPOILER AHEAD)

Let's start with Jocelyn. She has serious problems with trusting people and confide in them. She sees herself has this little thing that deserves no care or love. Since the lost of her parents, when she was fourteen, and the death of her best friend she has let no one come close enough to see the cracks left in her heart.   Until she meets Braden. Oh Braden. The controlling, possessive, sexy, perverted,  flawed boy (millionaire) who feels an attraction  to her since they're breve meeting in a taxi. 

He's all over the place now, and even more Jocelyn has changed into his sister flat, that's when they're second meeting happens. A very naked second meeting. Ahhh So they his it off from the start. She thinks that because he only hooks up with stick blondes she is nowhere near his eye sight. She is wrong, so he offers a proposition- Friends with Benefits for three months and she says yes...

Therefore she starts a relationship she so promised never to have. The cause to her freak outs that very calmly Braden likes to ease. 



They start falling deep for each other and at the end of they're term she breaks up with him until he coaxes her back into dating for real this time. And break up again and back again. And then happy ever after. 


Yup he falls big time!








Passing on to Ellie and Adam (Braden's best friend). They like each other but are too afraid of telling Braden to actually doing something about it. So she dates other people and he threatens the guys to never touch her again or coming near her. She gets pissed and only when it's discovered her having a tumor (benign thank good) it's when he has the balls to come up to her tell her that he loves her and kissing her big time in fornt of all of her family. OH YEAH,.....







LY...

3.3 stars.

So the book was good but not that good. I was expecting much more, i know that the author is new but still, the cover is pretty and all but the content is basically normal. Too normal.
Here's the description by Goodreads.

Virginity.

Bliss Edwards is about to graduate from college and still has hers. Sick of being the only virgin among her friends, she decides the best way to deal with the problem is to lose it as quickly and simply as possible-- a one-night stand. But her plan turns out to be anything but simple when she freaks out and leaves a gorgeous guy alone and naked in her bed with an excuse that no one with half-a-brain would ever believe. And as if if that weren't embarrassing enough, when she arrives for her first class of her last college semester, she recognizes her new theater professor. She'd left him naked in her bed about 8 hours earlier.

The description is quite alluring. You think cute teacher, forbidden romance and disastrous luck. It involves that but in a very rushed way. I flew trough the book, in two hours i had it read.
Bliss is a very normal, dedicated person that never does anything out of the ordinary so when she meats professor ...(see, i even forgot his name already) Garrick you can see the turn her life is going to turn. And there is where the things start to go down. Everything was like speeding.after that. They say they can't get together but then they do, there's another guy in the middle and then he goes away, then they stay together again and get married. Point. The secondary characters should have been more explored, they could have much more alluring personalities in case the author choose to incorporate  them a bit more.


Don't misunderstand it, I LIKED IT. but i didn't loved it. It's a book that you read when you don't have anything else to read meanwhile.  I believe the author has talent but she has to explore it a bit more.
