Catching Kate by Dee Kelly--....... My 5 Star review

Um, how do u choose sides after this book? I cannot choose, so I'm Team Kate. I totally fell in love with Daniel in Breaking Kate, was madder than hell at Michael in BK, and felt so bad for Kate especially at the end of BK. Now what do I do? My heart is in pieces for Michael, after hearing his POV, but I'm still in love with Daniel. So alas, that is why I am Team Kate until I get the rest of the story. Title: Catching Kate (Acceptance, #1.5) Author: D.

To say it didn’t go quite as he envisioned is an understatement. Never in a million years would he have imagined that his best friend, Daniel, is the new man in Kate’s life. Once their explosive evening concludes and everyone goes their separate ways, Mike takes the time to calm down and plan his next move. If there’s one thing that calms him it’s Kate, even if it’s just memories of her. Mike has four hours before he sees her again and gets to plead his case. Instead of sleeping, he spends his evening remembering every detail of their relationship from the beginning. Experience Mike and Kate’s love story from the start, all from Mike’s point of view.

I'm also a taxi, problem fixer, extreme multi-tasker and my kids’ biggest fan in anything that they do. I love to write, so when my career suddenly derailed I turned back to my love of writing. I married my high school sweetheart... how cool is that? Margaritas and sarcasm make me happy. Chocolate makes that happiness grow exponentially. People who make me laugh are my favorite kind of people. I believe Karma is a bitch who slaps back hard and that mean people suck. I'm California born and raised, I love the beach but hate the sand. The Acceptance Series is my first series of books with more to come soon.

Let Love Live-Melissa Collins a beautiful 5 star standalone

Lori's 5 Star review: While I have not yet read the beginning of this series, but Let Love Live is a stand alone m/m romance. My first completely m/m book and I was skeptical at first, but by the end, I was totally in love with this story. Dylan and Conner were meant for each other. What Dylan had to endure in his freshman year of college was horrible. I cried for him and Shane. But in the end, I'm so glad Dylan finally found his happiness with Conner. it gave me a new perspective of things.
Synopsis
Who would you become if you lost the only person who ever mattered?

For twenty-six year old Dylan Hopkins, the answer is easy. He’s become no one. Memories of the happier times are all he has left as he finds himself meandering numbly through his now dull life. Though he cares about his work and family dearly, he’s yet to let himself find love again. Afraid of letting go of what he once had, Dylan chooses to keep his heart buried, where it belongs, having died a long time ago. 

Conner Michelson is about to change everything Dylan knows. He’s every bit the bad boy persona - tatted up, ex-MMA fighter, but after an injury leaves him unable to fight, he has to rethink his goals. Having just opened his own gym, Conner can cross his first major life accomplishment off his very short list. Next up: find a man he can settle down with and build a family. Seems simple enough - a dream most people have, but when he meets Dylan, his carefree, easy-going life is thrown into a tailspin. 

Determined to keep Dylan in his life, Conner vows to resurrect Dylan's long ago buried heart and let love live once more.

Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream. 

Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.

Always Me---J.M Walker





***Note from the author: Due to the graphic nature, this book is not intended for a younger audience***

Forgetting is hard to do.

Tori McLeod survived the sadistic wrath of a madman at the cost of the love of her life. Always a survivor, she’s determined to move on with her life, for her sake, and the sake of her son, even if she has to leave everything and everyone behind.

Two years have passed since she lost Sebastian Chelios. He was gone, but Tori can still feel the raw magnetism pulling her toward a ghost.

Relationships change and new bonds form. Budding feelings tempt Tori, but she continues to ache for Sebastian.

Whispers of danger lurk around the corner and questions regarding Jose remain unanswered.

Can Tori move on with her life when a dark shadow from her past revisits her? With Jose still being out there, will Tori and her son ever be truly safe?


My review:
Sebastian, where have you been all my life? I'm thinking that you and Brett are gonna be a close tie for my favorite dominating men(even though neither of you are doms)and I didn't think I could get any more hot, wet and bothered as I did in Break me, Holy shit, Sebastian turned up the heat in Always Me!!!!! I think I had to wash about 10 pair of panties after reading Always Me!! I totally loved Sebastian and Tori's story and hope there is more to come, I want to read about their wedding day and honeymoon and if they have anymore babies



Break me by JM Walker




***Note from the author: Due to the graphic nature, this book is not intended for a younger audience***

Running is always easier.

Tori McLeod moved to the big city to get away from her mother—and her past. Her new routine is destroyed when she meets a mysterious stranger who won’t take no for an answer. Sebastian intrigues her, but his eyes hold secrets she would rather avoid.

Sebastian Chelios, a hard as nails enforcer, is a new-in-town loner.

Sebastian has to have her. Control her. Possess her. But he can’t—won’t lose control, even though Tori’s innocence fascinates him. The last thing he’s going to do is love her, even after he gets her in his bed.

Losing control is dangerous, especially when someone from Sebastian’s past covets Tori, putting more than just her heart in danger.

How can Sebastian protect Tori from Jose’s sadistic obsession? If he gets his hands on her, will she make it out in one piece?



My Review: 
OMG!! Sebastian is freaking hot. And how did I not know my love Brett was a part of this story. Aahhhhhhh! My heart was breaking throughout this story.  You all know that I am not one to spoil a book for those who haven't read it yet, so I can't go any farther than to say, Break me in the Shattered series by JM Walker is a must read. Sebastian is one HOT HOT man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  My insides (and other parts) were all twisted and on fire every time he was near Tori.

    Tatum POV   Blaise has stepped up his seduction tactics. He’s constantly touching me, giving me sweet gentle kisses. His attention has me on fire. I’m ready to take him to the nearest storage closet or bathroom and take full advantage of what he’s offering. He’s marking his claim for the night, and really, he doesn’t need to. I plan to allow him to seduce me. My earlier thoughts coming to mind. I know I shouldn’t since he is Ember’s brother, but I want him. I want to know what it feels like to feel his weight on top of me. To be able to trace his ink with my tongue. I can no longer resist his charms, or seduction techniques, whatever you want to call it. I just don’t want to resists him any longer. I want one night with him. One night of passion and no thoughts of what I lost. I just want him. With that thought, I relax against him. Blaise releases my hand and slips his arm around my waist to hold me against him. I need a drink!
