Review: Black Sheep

Black Sheep Black Sheep by Zara Cox
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hmm, I have a love hate relationship with this book. The love part: Okay so Axel was briefly mentioned in Quinn's book. I enjoyed him immensely, his obsession was wasted, but it was described perfectly. He was the good son, the black sheep of this fucked up family. I loved the plot, the sex, the intrigued, even the villain` was written well. The author made me feel the hate, I could understand where Axel was coming from. The story flowed and it kept you engrossed because I finished this book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down even if I tried. The hate part: I hated the heroine with every fiber of my being. Cleo was the worst damn person in the world and it sickened me that Axel wasted his time with this bitch. This story also shows you how miscommunication and not picking up the fucking phone to ask a question, ruins a relationship. Cleo had multiple times to talk to Axel, to explain and let him explain his side also, but all you got from her when she was around Axel was "Uh, umm...oh god Axel" That was the extent of her vocabulary until the end, that is. The father, man was he an evil son of a bitch? That's your son, Jesus, with a father like that, Axel didn't need any enemies, but I was hoping Axel would have killed him with his bare hands, but alas......Another reason I hated Cleo, HOW THE HELL CAN YOU BE IN LOVE WITH AXEL BUT THEN TURN AND RUN INTO HIS FATHER'S BED??!!! Blackmail or not, run girl!!!From THAT point when she said the father forced himself on her, that should have been her reason to run to Axel, honestly she should have run and gone into hiding instead of subjugating herself to 8 years of that torture. Again I ask, why didn't the author let Axel kill that POS!!! I also hated how the ending felt so rushed. Just like with Quinn's book, it's like the author got tired and just wanted to wrap things up. Axel should have made her BEG!!! But no. That reconciliation was too easy. Anyways, if you like gritty dark romances, then cop this series....but only if you have the stomach for it because this one sticks with you. It leaves you with some very conflicting feelings and that's when you know the author did a great job. Thanks Zara.

Review: Billionaire Unbound ~ Chloe

Billionaire Unbound ~ Chloe by J.S. Scott My rating: 3 of 5 stars I liked this story. Glad Chloe overcame the abuse and found Gabe and I'm glad he didn't give up on her. What pissed me off is, I know it's not always easy to tell an abuse victim to just leave but still, Chloe has brothers who are special ops, senator, a mad scientist and a damn special agent, she's a billionaire. Do you mean to tell me she couldn't use ANY of those means to get rid of or away from James? The man had NO power over her, she was letting him have the upper hand. Also they video, if the woman had just told her brothers what was going on but don't show them the video like what Gabe did, all of this could have been avoided. I mean, look how easy they got rid of the video and handled him. Pls Lara (Tate's wife) was ex FBI, she could have also find means to get information on where Ellie is out of James before he killed himself too. If this was a po...

Review: The Resolution of Callie & Kayden

The Resolution of Callie & Kayden by Jessica Sorensen My rating: 3 of 5 stars Well they finally got their happy ending. These two went through so much shit before they got to this point. Some points I wasn't happy with: Callie ran into Caleb at the store and then he was arrested. I fell like not much justice was given there. I wanted Caleb to explain why he did all that crap. I wanted a better confrontation where Caleb would feel ashamed or at least more emotions, but it was handled too quickly and wishy washy. Another one was the death of Kayden's father. We as the reader didn't get much closure from that. He just immediately died, there wasn't much explanation as to how he ended up like that, no explanation from the father as to why he was the way he is, no sorry's, the mother was still a complete bitch and was with the father until the end. His death was such a cowards way out. I expected him to get haul off to jail. This b...

Review: Love, Chocolate, and Beer

Love, Chocolate, and Beer by Violet Duke My rating: 4 of 5 stars So, this book came up in my Amazon recommendations and saw it had a bunch of good ratings and decided to check it out. Violet Duke has found a new fan in me. I really enjoyed this book. This is what true love is all about. I connected with Luke and Dani from the prequel and just fell in love with them. Their bickering and interplay were so funny. The sexual tension was so strong with these two. Even I was feeling what Luke was feeling on those five pre-dates. The 17 Valentines Day gifts Luke did for Dani was so damn romantic, I was "awwing" through the whole thing. The things Luke did for Dani....ack. I love him so much. Anyways let's get to the nitty gritty. So Dani did something really stupid in the prequel that followed her throughout this story. It pissed me off because if these two would have just communicated with each other, so much of this could have been avoided. ...
