Review: The Devil's Daghter by Katee Robert

11:00 AM 0 Comments
The Devil's Daughter (Hidden Sins #1) by Katee Robert
Published January 24th 2017 
Publisher:  Montlake Romance

Growing up in a small town isn’t easy, especially when you’re the daughter of a local cult leader. Ten years ago, Eden Collins left Clear Springs, Montana, and never once looked back. But when the bodies of murdered young women surface, their corpses violated and marked with tattoos worn by her mother’s followers, Eden, now an FBI agent, can’t turn a blind eye. To catch the killer, she’s going to have to return to the fold.

Sheriff Zach Owens isn’t comfortable putting Eden in danger, even if she is an elite agent. And he certainly wasn’t expecting to be so attracted to her. As calm and cool as she appears, he knows this can’t be a happy homecoming. Zach wants to protect her—from her mother, the cult, and the evil that lurks behind its locked gates. But Eden is his only key to the tight-lipped group, and she may just be closer to the killer than either one of them suspects…






Intriguing and catching. I couldn't put this book down. I was on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out who was behind the murders.

It's been a while since I read a suspense book, and I feel like The Devil's Daughter was a great choice to get back into the genre.

Eden is an FBI agent now, but she grew up in a small town. Actually she grew up inside a cult her mother started. And now she's back because a girl was murder and she's sure the cult is behind it.

Zach Owens came back from the war looking a little peace. As Sheriff he mostly deals with easy stuff, underage drinking and some neightbours who drink a little too much. A murder? He has no resources for that. And when Eden comes to town he's torn between trying to get as much help as possible and keeping the daughter of one of her prime suspects help.

The Devil's Daughter is more than a suspense story. I was fascinated by the cult, their myth and beliefs. I wished the was more background on them. How Martha came to create it, the indoctrination and more mysteries. But our girl doesn't know all about the culture either.

Eden's story is a powerfull one, she comes as a way of revenge, I think. She's after her mother, and at one point I felt she was ore interested in putting Martha away than catching the killer. But she has to come face to face with her deepest fears and Katee Robert did an excelent job on the writting. I think I was getting a little paranoid too.

While is a romance book, I liked that it wasn't all about it. The author kept a good balance between the storylines, giving the reader a break from the mystery and falling to the relationship between Zach and Eden was a great scape. I enjoyed that the attraction didn't feel like insta love.

This is the first book in a new series and a new genre for Katee Robert and while is completly different from her previous work I still loved it. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series, I need to learn more about Elysia and their mysteries. Is that bad?

Review: Dating the Wrong Mr Right by Amanda Ashby

11:00 AM 0 Comments

Summer is coming and get ready to sit down and relax with a great new Bliss read. Three new sweet romances to fill your eReader with!

Dating the Wrong Mr Right (Sisters of Wishing Bridge Farm #3) by Amanda Ashby
Pulished: June 19th 2017 
Publisher: Entangled Publishing LLC, Bliss
*ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*

Pepper Watson has lost everything–her job, her fiancé, and the future she’d so carefully planned. Now she’s back at Wishing Bridge trying to figure out her next step. Her new plan does not include the ever-so-sexy Ben Cooper. Nope. She’s getting her life back on track, and getting out of this little town as fast as possible. 

Ben Cooper is doing his best to build his business and help his parents. The last thing he needs is the distraction that is Pepper Watson. She might be prickly every time he’s in her presence, but he sees another side of her. The side that has set aside her dreams to help her sisters. And then there’s the fact that kissing her is pretty much the best thing that’s ever happened to him. 

He’s putting down roots. She’s running away. It’s going to take more than a wish for these two to find their happily ever after.


This book is the last part in a series, but you can totally read it as a stand alone. I'm really excited about reading the previous two.

Pepper came home because her entire life is crashing down. She lost her job and her fiancé, and what is worst, he made it so she can't find a new job. She's there with one mission, see her sister getting married and find a new way to make her life plan come true.

Ben Cooper is building the life he wanted. He has a growing bussiness, and her parents to help. He's here to stay at the farm at the town he loves.

While the two of them have known each other their entire life, they haven't really shared a lot. I loved watching the two of them come together. I love the background the author gives you to show you how their relationship grows and shifts through the years but most of the feelings develop during the book.

Pepper is a control freak and Cooper is the laid back guy. They balance each other out. Natural charisma and bussiness knowledge coming together to make them achive their goals.

This is a great story of enemies to lovers. The secondary characters, a lovely touch for the readers of the series and honestly, I loved their input to the story. The town's people was great, the author makes you feel like part of the town and like you know them all.
The perfect read for a weekend. Sweet, funny and full of swoon moments complete with grand gestures.

Sweet Torment by Georgia Cates
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 2, 2017

Bram—
My best friend’s little sister—that’s all Claudia Bliss is to me.
My head keeps trying to convince my heart, but both know it’s a damn lie.

It’s her face I see every time I close my eyes.
It’s her lips I long to kiss.
It’s her touch I crave in the dark.
She’s the one I love … but wanting Claudia is wrong.

She’s been like a little sister to me since the day she was born. Now, everything between us is changing—including the special bond we’ve always shared. It’s stronger than ever … and becoming something so different. Something so hot. Something so forbidden.

My little dove is growing up.
Doesn’t matter how wrong it is, I can’t stop wanting her.

I will have her.


Claudia—
Bram Windsor. I have loved him my entire life.

For years, I was nothing more than one of the boys to him. Owen’s little sister. The pest who tagged along everywhere the boys went. But now, everything has changed.

I’ve grown up and it’s time Bram sees me for what I am. A woman. A sexual being who wants him. A virgin more than ready to give herself to him.

I don’t care what our friends or family say. I love him and everything about being together feels right.

I will have him.



Excerpt

“Duke!” I turn when I hear Claudia squeal my special nickname. One look is all it takes. I no longer have to wonder what Rivers meant.
Claudia’s thick, dark hair is longer. She’s always worn it in braids or slicked back into a ponytail through the hole in the back of her ball cap, but tonight it’s hanging in loose curls. Long, lush eyelashes surround aquamarine magnets—the same eyes I’ve seen no less than a million times, but I can’t stop staring at them. It’s as though I’m seeing them for the first time.
The red top she’s wearing is sexy as fuck––one of those where it comes up and around the neck, leaving her shoulders and back completely exposed. Damn, damn, daaamn. Her perky tits and protruding nipples look like nothing less than perfection pressing against the thin fabric.
It’s possible I’m drooling a little as my eyes scan her mile-long legs from her ankles all the way up to the curvy hips she’s showing off in tight skinny jeans. I swear to God those tits and curves weren’t there the last time I saw her. I would have noticed.
Her shoes piss me off. Fuck-me pumps. She has no business wearing anything like those.
Who is this hot, beautiful woman who has replaced Claudia Laine Bliss?
I was six when she was born; I’ve known this girl all her life and most of mine. Since the time she could walk, she spent her days chasing Owen, Rivers, and me. Always slower. Always weaker. Always so soft, sweet, and delicate. She’d have chosen death over admitting a single one of those facts back in the day. But we didn’t care. She was Owen’s baby sister.
Our little Claud.
That was then and this is now. And our little Claud isn’t so little anymore.
She rushes toward me and leaps into my arms, same as she has for years, with her legs wrapped around me. But this time feels different. My dick immediately recognizes the changes in her, too. The fucker spasms and comes to full attention when her body collides with mine.
 The exposed skin on her neck and shoulders calls out to me like a siren. A seductress. A fucking temptress. Touch me, Bram. Kiss me. Lick me. You know you want to.
What. The. Fuck.
No, no, no. Every thought going through my head about her right now is wrong. So many kinds of wrong. This is our little Claud. My best friend’s baby sister. Not some random chick I’ll bang and abandon before morning.
Still wrapped around me, she holds my shoulders and leans away so we’re face to face. So close I could kiss her. “I’ve missed you so much. I’m very upset with you for staying away so long.”
“You know I was taking extra classes so I could graduate early.”
“I know…but you didn’t come back to see me. Not even once.” Her pouty bottom lip protrudes and it reminds me of the face she used to make as a child when she wanted her way. Except this time it’s hot as fuck. I want to suck that lip into my mouth. Maybe even bite it.
“I didn’t do much of anything for the last five months except study. But it was worth every weekend I spent with my head in a book; I’m finished for good.”
She slides down my body and her crotch rubs my cock—no, make that my hardening cock. I will it to stop but it’s a dick. It can’t not respond to the touch of a woman. Especially when that woman is this hot.
Shit, I hope she can’t tell that she made me hard.
Even more so, I hope Owen and Rivers can’t tell that she made me hard. They would kill me.

USA Today Bestselling author Andie J. Christopher writes edgy, funny, sexy contemporary romance. She grew up in a family of voracious readers, and picked up her first Harlequin Romance novel at age twelve when she’d finished reading everything else in her grandmother’s house. It was love at first read. It wasn’t too long before she started writing her own stories — her first heroine drank Campari and wore a lot of Esprit.
Although, she set aside writing fiction for a while, her love of romance novels stayed with her through college, law school, and multiple cross-country moves. During one long East Coast winter, she decided writing a book would be a good excuse to avoid braving the elements. It was love at first write. Her heroes are dirty-talking alphas, and her heroines traded Esprit for Free People. (None of them would turn down a Campari, though.)

Kicking Reality by Kat T. Masen
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: May 28, 2017

Emerson

Everyone thinks they know who I am. I’m that reality TV star that fell in love with co-star Wesley Rich. But reality wasn’t my life. It was the life I lived in front of the cameras.
A life designed to entertain millions of watchers each Monday night.

It only took one night to relive my past, and one night to forget my future. With someone who had been there all along.

Logan

Soccer is my life—it’s in my blood.
I train hard, I play hard, and I win.  Nothing will break my focus.

I should have been able to avoid it, resist the temptation. But it’s there, playing every Monday night, an obsession I can’t seem to shake.

And I don’t know what was harder: hiding it from my best friend, or watching the woman I want live a life with someone else.

Excerpt

“You honestly believe all that rubbish? Falling in love? They knew from the start? C’mon. It’s impossible,” I ramble to myself as Logan quietly stands at the edge. “You can spend a whole lifetime knowing someone and still feel unsure if the love is there. Two minutes in a bar and that person is your soulmate? Ludicrous.”

Logan turns his neck, body following until we’re facing each other. His presence radiates with superiority, just like when we were kids. I wasn’t afraid back then and I am not afraid now. His tough-guy persona doesn’t frighten me one bit.

“Hypocritical coming from someone engaged to a man that swore he fell in love with you the moment he saw you?” he questions, sarcasm lacing every word that left his mouth.

The shock of his words cripples my ability to respond with a witty comeback. We weren’t having a good ol’ laugh throwing worms in the bottom of Ash’s school bag anymore. And my initial reaction to his cruel words does nothing to calm the sea of emotions ravaging inside me. Logan Carrington was one of them. They all came from the same seed. The seed of men that felt entitled. Screw women, move on, fuck feelings and repeat.

“Knock, knock . . . anyone home?”

“You’re a jerk,” I mutter.
