Review of the fault in our stars by John Green

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.



Ok, so I watched the film first before reading the book, but for once in a long time I just wanted to not completely know the ending. 


I loved the film. I could very easily sobbed, screamed and thrown a complete tantrum. Amazing. So naturally I thought I'd read the book. I am glad that I watched the film first. 

Don't get me wrong the book is just as amazing, which I find so rare. I'm always saying "the book was better" 

John Green has captured something so rare in a book. Although this book is predominantly about dying, it's kind of had the opposite affect on me. It made me feel so much and some things weren't always positive, BUT I have never felt so much in one book before. To me that is a sign of a good book.

I am honestly disgusted by some of the reviews on here where people have been cyber bullied. Seriously, are you freaking kidding me. People opinions are their own, not everyone will like this book. Get over yourselves. 

Rant over.. 

 Ok good book, recommend to everyone that wants to feel so much...

Review of Hurts so good by Jenika Snow



Hurts so good was another short by Jenika snow, about big mean looking tough men, fighting for those they love, in the ring and outside of it. 
In this story Mack and Jane have a past and they hadn't seen each other in 10 years, they haven't stopped thinking about each other every day since. I love a tourtured hero!!!

Having read the rest in the Absinthe series I was really looking forward to this. I love stories involving Russians. (Her russian protectors by Roxie Rivera) this story did not disappoint. 

Mack was hot, possessive and just down right gorgeous, and Jane was a great heroine. 

I loved that we got a glimpse of the past between the two of them and the epilogue was a perfect end.

Can't seem to get enough of Jenika Snow books, and this was by far the best!!  

Review of Her Tattooed Fighter by Jenika snow

A short sexy little read by Jenika Snow, about a man whoring inked up fighter, who has wanted the trainers daughter for a long time. Inviting her to a party, hoping that she feel the same the story trots along nicely. The fight scenes were well choreographed nicely, and the sex was steamy.  

London was a yummy possessive man who I instantly loved. 



Jenika Snow is fastly becoming a favourite author of mine. 

Favourite line

"Yeah, I am pretty fucking drunk, baby." Her heart sank. "But I'm not drunk em ought that I don't realise that the girl in front of me is the one that I've wanted for a long fucking time, but have been too much of a pussy to approach. Or that the girl that I am grinding this hard-on against is the one that will probably have me getting my ass kicked by her dad and a big-ass Russian." 

Looking forward to the big-ass Russians story next.

Review of The Gladiators Honour by Michelle Styles

descriptionThis story takes place in a villa in ancient Rome at the time of Julius Caesar. Julia, relative of Caesar, divorced her creepy husband Lucius because he abused her. This was quite a scandal!! Back living with her disappointed father and step mother, Julia all but waits for something to make her feel alive.. 

Enter Valen. A Sexy, tortured, honourable, Muscled Gladiator...

He has been sent to stay with Julia's Family whilst the Arena Games in Rome are being prepared. Having been a gladiator for 5 years, he is destined to fight his last fight as a slave in the arena, with liberty within his reach he doesn't need to distractions. 

Julia is drawn toward the brawny brute, and the forbidden passion he invokes with her.

Through a series of challenging events, dangerous ex-husbands and interfering friends and family, this delightful historical romance was one of the best I've read in a long time. Erotic Romance from Ancient Rome is becoming a bit of an obsession of mine and this did not disappoint. 

The characters were engaging and the story line imaginative. I especially liked the gripping gladiatorial fights!

Overall, styles does a great job of keeping the reader engaged to the very end. This is a great book for anyone who like their Romance Erotica light hearted and vanilla.

Review of A forever Love by Kelly Elliott

A forever love is about garret and emma. They are the grandparents to the future couples in the books.

Garret and emma have an insta love, which I often feel makes for an unbelievable plot, but the chemistry between Garret and Emma was gorgeous.

There really isn't much plot. They fall in love, marry and get pregnant. What happens in between these events is normal life, albeit full of passion. 

A great story which I adored. Garret is my new book boyfriend. .. yummy

Review of Mating Heat by Laurann Dohner

Rating: 5/5 stars
Alpha: to the max.
Genre: Shifter, romance
This story is about Charma & Brand. Brand is a wolf shifter, but Charma is a half human, half cat shifter.  They were lovers in college however Charma's family have an arrangement with her pride alpha. Charma is to mate Garret, a nasty, spineless violent man & the son of the alpha. Her parents were in a car accident and were severely wounded. In the pride they are considered weak and a liability and therefore termed for death. 
Charma left Brand for nine years, however because of events from the previous books Brand is in trouble with the cat pride.
Seeing that her first and only love is in trouble Charma flees her pride and seeks out Brand.  Once rekindled its like the nine years haven't happened. Brand is determined to mate Charma, however Charma's pride are spoiling for a fight and don't care who gets in the middle...
I am a huge Laurann Dohner fan. I have read everyone of her books. The Mating heat series is my least favourite,  however this book has completely changed my mind. 
I like my shifter romance to be easy, typical. I have pretty much exhausted my shifter romance and find it difficult to find something new. This was typical and traditional. The romamce was believable and the sex was HOT!!  
A great story.  5 stars..

Review of Fifty Shades Darker by E L James


Rating: 5/5 stars
Genre: BDSM, Romance.
Alpha Male: to the max!!! 

The intense second instalment in the Fifty Shades series is just as great as the first. In the end of the last book we see Ana leaves Christian. She's Scared of him and what he his capable of. She's also afraid that he can't love her. Understandable.. he is fifty shades of fcuked up. 

In Fifty Shades Darker, Ana and Christian resume their 'relationship' on the promises of "more". When Ana leaves something clicks in Christian and he can't bear for her to be away from him. Then a new threat of an Ex Sub, Leila, ruins was very little peace they had. He's overprotective and overbearing and at times heartbreaking. 

It's quite surprising how much of this story is everyday situations made extraordinary by both Christian, his wealth and his reactions to Ana's 'disobedience', for example, she wants to go to New York for a work related trip, he orders the company to stop employees at that level go. Considering he just bought the company... that she work's at.. not a coincidence.

My Favourite part is in chapter 13 and 14. Christian has just subdued Leila. Ana comes to the conclusion that he enjoyed still having power of Leila, and maybe he does. Ana sees dominant Christian in all his glory and second guesses his ability to not hurt her in the future. She tries to express her feelings, but he feels she about to leave him again and he breaks. He becomes a bit of a husk. It's quite awful to read really. he's such an opposing character... and that's when I fell in love with the character of Christian Grey. 

Of course, my other favourite part is Christian's birthday party. the Lemon Martini thrown all over Elena.. at Last!!!

I would recommend this to Hopeless Romantics and those in the mood to be blown away by such an intense book.
