Well ladies, get ready to fall in love with another Maddox boy. Jamie McGuire has done her job, yet again. This is the first book in her Maddox Brothers Series, however, I suggest (HIGHLY) that you begin your love affair with the Maddox brothers by first reading Beautiful Disaster and fall head over heels for Travis before moving onto Trenton.

This book will introduce us to Trenton Maddox and Cami Camlin and will be told through the POV of Cami. Now this book will coincide with the timeline of Beautiful Disaster. So there will be moments in this book that you will hear from Travis and the going ons of his relationship with Abby as well as other events that occurred in Beautiful Disaster.

Cami is a bartender at the Red Door, you should remember that establishment from Travis and Abby’s story. It is the place to go and be seen. Cami met T.J. at the Red Door, six months ago while she was working. They have been in a relationship ever since, even though he has been in California for the past three months and she rarely hears from him because of his job. When the book begins, she is packed and ready to jet out to California for some much needed T.J. time. However, he has just called to inform Cami that she will have to postpone the trip due to him having to work. Obviously upset, but she understands, knowing that this is what she agreed to when he originally left for California.

Trenton is a tattoo artist at Skin Deep and has had his eyes set on Cami since they were kids (of course she is unaware of this tidbit). He is a frequent patron at the Red Door and one night decides to strike up a conversation with Cami. After lots of talking and some manipulation with a certain 5 year old, who is absolutely adorable, they both agree to be friends. At this point it is glaringly obvious that Trenton wants more from Cami and Cami possibly wanting more from Trenton, it’s just her relationship with T.J. stands in the way.

Their relationship grows even closer once Cami’s brother Coby gets into some financial trouble and Cami is somewhat forced to accept the job as the receptionist at Skin Deep to help him out. It’s important to understand that Cami is from a abusive family. She is close to al of her brothers, it’s just her father that she has a problem with. Earlier in her life, her dad, Felix, was physically abusive to her mother. Her mother made the decision to stay with him, so family gatherings are somewhat uncomfortable, which is why Cami chooses to stay away as much as possible. In one particular incident, Trenton attended a family lunch with Cami and was able to see first hand how much of an asshole her father actually was. In my personal opinion, this is kind of the moment in the book where Cami began to really trust Trenton and the dynamic of their relationship began to change.

Of course, Cami and Trenton eventually get together. After Cami informs T.J. of Trenton kissing her, he immediately gets her on a plane to California. After discussing their relationship, it is determined that it is best for them to go their separate ways. So this opens the door for Trenton, not easily opened. Before Cami leaves for the airport, some things went down that put a strain on the friendship.

There is the situation with Cami’s family and of course, T.J.. Throughout the story you kind of wish that T.J. would be some sort of a douchebag, just to make it easier for Cami to let him go, and you know she is keeping some sort of a secret, but will not divulge it to Trenton. I will not divulge it to you, but I will say, be ready, because it is a doozy. 

Once again, Jamie McGuire not only digs deep for her main characters, but writes phenomenal supporting characters. Reagan is Cami’s roommate and the drama surrounding her love life is written so well, that you are reading the book to find out the conclusion to that as well. It takes just as much, if not more talent (in my opinion), to write an asshole character that the readers need to hate as much as it takes to write the ones you fall in love with.  And with Cami’s dad, Jamie encompasses that hate well. I can’t forget to mention Olive, the 5 year old friend/neighbor of Trenton. Their relationship and Trenton’s ease with Olive is just another in the long list of reasons to love Trenton. There are more characters that I could of course go on and on about, but you will discover and you will then understand. With the way that she writes all of her characters, she really offers the reader the big picture of what the book is trying to convey. 

Mentioning the supporting characters and how well written they are almost had me overlooking the main ones. Cami is written really well. She is fiercely independent and has a very witty mouth on her, which I can certainly appreciate. Trenton is written funny, compassionate, understanding, somewhat possessive, determined. I could use many more adjectives, but I’m sure you get the point. 

There was not one thing that I did not love about this book. Jamie McGuire knows how to tell a story and make you want more. She makes it impossible for you to ever say “just  one more chapter”. There is no such thing when reading about the Maddox brothers, so I recommend that you clear your schedule and get ready to keep turning the page. I’ve said it before, but this series of books (The Beautiful Series and now The Maddox Brothers series) are the only books I have read from Jamie McGuire, so it’s weird for me when I say that she is one of my favorites, but that is how good these books are. I CANNOT wait to read Beautiful Redemption, which I will begin soon and also am looking forward in continuing  with the Maddox brothers.

Read this book, read this series (start with Travis). It will become one of your favorites, I promise.

This Man (This Man Series, Book #1) by Jodi Ellen Malpas | Review on www.bxtchesbeblogging.com

This ManThis Man InfoSynopsis TagThis Man SynopsisBxtches Be Blogging Book Reviews

*Review updated January 2019*

BXTCHES Gotta Warn: This book is one of the first books I purchased when I made the switch from Ibooks to Kindle. I purchased it back in February 2013 and of the 1000’s (and there are 1000’s) of books that I have purchased since, this series remains one of my top favorites. I have re-read it more times than I can count and love it each and every time. This is a series, so not only do you need to read in order, but there will be a cliffhanger at the end of this book. If you are someone who prefers a paper book to an e-reader, then I really suggest that you go ahead and buy all 4 books in this series. Trust me, you are going to want to move straight from one to the other. 

Here is the thing that you need to know about this series. . .if you have read any reviews regarding this book/series, you will see that some readers take issue with Jesse’s behavior, which some could deem as borderline abusive, which is probably true. To say that Jesse takes Alpha to a whole new level would be an understatement. I am personally not bothered by this, but some are. You do need to remember that this is a series and if you stay invested, things have a way of making more sense and now you have been warned.

This Man will be told through the POV of Ava.

This book will begin to dive into the crazy relationship that develops between Ava O’Shea and Jesse Ward. Ava is a 26 year old interior designer and is coming off of a 4 year relationship with Matt. After discovering Matt’s infidelity, she has decided to take up residence with her BFF, Kate. Surprising, she is not heartbroken and has been advised by her mother that this is the time in her life to have fun and not tie herself down to one man. She is just finishing up the project of her young career, designing the 10 million dollar penthouse suite at the luxury apartments, Lusso, and has now been requested to do some work at The Manor, which she thinks is an exclusive, luxury hotel. Once she arrives at The Manor and is introduced to the owner, Jesse, her life will never be the same. 

Jesse Ward is the owner of The Manor, which is really an exclusive sex club. No worries, this BXTCH ain’t spoiling, you won’t need to place too many pieces together before you realize what kind of posh hotel The Manor really is. Once you begin to read the book, it’s not long before the pieces click into place and you will figure it out. Dead giveaways begin to drop like flies. She’s not even allowed to roam the grounds by herself. Once Jesse lays down his description of how he wants the room designed, you get the clear distinction that he has a theme, and it ain’t one you’ll find at the Hilton.

Jesse has lived a very reckless lifestyle thanks to a pretty tormented past, a past that this book will not solve. . .cliffhanger. . .it won’t be until the end of book #3 before all comes together. Which is why you should heed my earlier advice. But one thing we learn very quickly about our Lord, is once his mind is set and he sees something he wants, he will get it and Ava is something that he desperately wants.

Ava is equally drawn to Jesse, but she realizes that he is in fact a client and her boss would really frown upon her going down that road, and more importantly, she is under the impression that he is already involved with a woman (Sarah) and this woman makes it pretty obvious early on that she is either with Jesse, wants Jesse, or has been with Jesse. Regardless of what selection she falls under, she is an employee of Jesse’s and she’s not afraid of making herself known anytime Ava visits The Manor.

Ms. Malpas did a outstanding job writing the character of Sarah. She is everything a catty, thinks that she is better than you, bitch should be. You will dislike her very much, which for me indicates that the author did her job the way it was supposed to be done. There is not one time during the telling of this story that you will have sympathy for her. My guess. . .you’ll wish that you could jump into the book and knock the bitch out yourself.

The hypnotist trains the conscious state of the human brain through different methods so that it can get rid prescription cialis cost robertrobb.com of their sexual problems that are occurring psychologically with the help of sexual therapy. lowest price sildenafil Though, this must be known by the doctors but, it is very much important to know that don’t use more than once a day. Dancing, partying, music and laughter cialis prescription fill the streets, where every storefront seems to become a club of some sort. Otherwise,you can make a claim in adverse situation. buy cheapest viagra The chemistry is electric from the very first meeting and even though Ava does her best to stay far away, Jesse ain’t about that and he does everything he can to keep Ava close by. Once Jesse stakes his claim on Ava, his belief is that she belongs to him. He is very dominant, not in a BDSM way, but in a possessive, you belong to me and answer to me way. 

TRUTH? He probably displays a lot of the traits that appear on some sort of checklist one is asked when she is pondering whether or not she is in an abusive relationship. In fact, the only time that their relationship is going swimmingly, is when she is in complete compliance with him. So here’s my hypocrisy, by the end of the trilogy you will of course know why Jesse is the way he is. Also, since you fall in love with Jesse, you kind of love everything about him. I know, probably an enabling excuse that every victim of abuse uses and I probably should be seeking some sort of therapy for loving him, but this shit is fiction, he ain’t crawling into my bed anytime soon. 

This story needs and provides you with a very strong supporting cast. Jesse and Ava hold it up very well, but if it wasn’t for the BFF’s and the co-workers and the parents and the bother, This Man wouldn’t be able to tap into all the feels. JEM makes sure to work other points in the story using the supporting characters, which takes some of the pressure off of Jesse and Ava, while shaking the reader up a bit. JEM was able to write them all with depth to ensure that they are not just bystanders, they help tell the story.

JEM knows the way to a woman’s heart is sometimes through her vagina and she tapped that perfectly. . .all puns intended. Don’t expect to be broken in, you’re gonna get it all almost from the get go. Just use your imagination, Jesse is the owner of a sex club, you would be disappointed if he didn’t know how to work what he was given. It is very well written, very well done, and is bound to fire up your libido.

Understand one thing before tackling this book. It takes place in England. This poses no problem for me, but the way they speak and spell is a little different than American English. It is not difficult to follow AT ALL. So please don’t allow it to hinder the splendidness that is this story.

This Man is just the beginning. Jesse and Ava are gonna take you on a ride. . .your gonna go high, low, and everything in between. This Man will leave you on a cliffhanger and trust a BXTCH, it only gets better from there. 

Beneath This Man is book #2 in the This Man Series and my review can be found here.

Walking Disaster

I’m going to keep this review short and pretty simple. READ THIS BOOK!

You already know the story, well you do if you have read Beautiful Disaster. This one however is told through the POV of Travis. Now, you may be saying to yourself “what a waste of a read”, you could not be more wrong. One of the many reasons that I love this book is actually being able to get it through the perspective of Travis. There is so much happening in Beautiful Disaster, but you only know what Abby knows. When you get the other POV, you get to see the side of Travis when Abby’s not around and you get the opportunity to really understand his thought process more.

Yes, it is the same story, but boy oh boy it is so different. You’re only advantage is you already know how it ends. So, if you are sitting on the fence with this one, go ahead and jump on over and go for it. You will not be disappointed.
Also, be aware of when you eat and try to make the last meal of the day 3 hours before your retire to bed at night so foods have been digested and moved out of the reach of all of the people of all classes. sildenafil tablets 50mg buy levitra from canada It is a symptomatic treatment for erectile dysfunction and early discharge.

Praline Crack | Recipe on www.bxtchesbeblogging.com

Praline Crack

So  maybe the term “crack” is not really an appropriate term for such a delicious piece of goodness. But the reality is, this is extremely addictive and I’m assuming eating too much will make your teeth fall out, so maybe “crack” is appropriate after all.

Call it what you want, one thing you will be saying after diving into this recipe is “HOLY CRAP, THAT’S GOOD STUFF!”

Praline Crack

  • 28 graham cracker squares
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans

Millions of men have benefited from cialis soft tabs as it can cause complications and unwanted side effects. appalachianmagazine.com tadalafil 20mg generika If, you feel shy to face a very lesser supply of blood towards the penile organ which is the most important part. However, maintaining 24 hours gap ordering levitra from canada between the dosages is mandatory. In this case, the bile becomes acidic, it can cause precipitation of the very aggressive and irritated, purchase levitra online bile acids.

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  2. Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
  3. Line the graham crackers on your pan.
  4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and brown sugar.
  5. Bring butter/sugar to a boil and allow to boil for 2 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  6. Remove from heat and add vanilla and salt, stir well.
  7. Pour your butter/sugar mixture over the graham crackers, spread evenly.
  8. Sprinkle chopped pecans over top.
  9. Place in 350 degree oven and bake for 12 minutes.
  10. Cool and break into pieces.
  • The original recipe says to place graham cracker squares on a ungreased pan. I don’t really trust that, so that is why I lined and sprayed mine.
  • Line your pan with the graham crackers before you begin to cook the butter and brown sugar. That way you are certain that your pan is big enough. While on the subject, be sure to have everything to go. Vanilla/salt/pecans, this is not really a recipe that will wait on you.
  • Do not add the pecans to the butter/sugar mixture. How do I know? Because I tried it and it SUCKED! So if you’re stubborn and need to see for yourself, go ahead and knock yourself out, just remember, I told you so.
  • I have used the store brand and the name brand graham crackers here, it is all the same.

    • Adapted from Cookies and Cups

    Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James

    Fifty Shades of GreyFifty Shades of GreySynopsis TagFifty Shades of GreyBxtches Be Blogging Book ReviewsFifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades Series, Book #1)
    Well, this seems to be the one that started the craze. I’ll admit, it started it for me as well. I have read this book multiple times (and I do mean multiple), but decided to go at again so I could write a review prior to the movie coming out. Do I think that one should read the book prior to the movie. Yes, I think that the movie is probably going to leave out things and the sex isn’t going to be as detailed. You are definitely going to get more from the book and I think that the movie is really going to be an enhancement to what we’ve already read.

    Book #1 in the series will introduce you to Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. The book is told through Ana’s POV and we are first introduced to Ana as she is preparing to interview Christian for the University’s newspaper. Her BFF Kate is actually the editor of the paper and the one who is supposed to be conducting the interview, but she has come down with the flu and needs to send Ana in her place. To say that Ana is a little intimated to be interviewing such an enigma, is an understatement. Once she arrives at his office, all of her fears come in loud and clear. Even though she is intimidated by Christian, she is also very much attracted to him.

    Christian is intrigued by Ana the moment that she falls into his office, literally. For him, there is something about her that calls to his dominant side. Once the interview is concluded, Ana believes that she will never see Christian again and Christian can’t get Ana out of his head. So he does what he needs to in order to see her again and tracks her down at her place of employment. Ana is pretty naive, she doesn’t recognize his attraction to her for what it is. She doesn’t see the same beauty in herself that he sees. Eventually he invites her to coffee, just to later warn her away from him, which only confuses Ana more.

    I don’t really want to go through every detail in the story, most likely you know most of it anyway, so let’s just hit the important parts. Not only is Ana naive, she is purely innocent. A virgin with very limited sexual experience. Not even masturbation. So when Christian invites her back to his apartment with the hopes of her becoming his next submissive, he is beyond flabbergasted when she reveals this tidbit of information. Flabbergasted, but happy to rid her of her virginity. There is a contract, that is very detailed of his expectations. Ana is very leery of signing the contract, but understands that in order to be with Christian she must be what Christian needs, which is a sub. 

    This first book is not my favorite out of the three. I enjoyed it very much, but it is a “getting to know you” type of book. It is more of Christian embracing ideas that NEVER interested him before and Ana really opening up her sexual side to not only benefit Christian, but herself as well. There is a lot of happenings in this book, but it is not difficult to keep up with it. I obviously glossed over or totally left out a lot of detail, but the main premise of the book is Christian wants Ana as his submissive and while Ana wants to be with Christian in a normal relationship, she realizes that they may never exist for her with Christian. 

    Here’s the thing, I know that a lot of people criticized this book. Some for the writing and other’s for the false representation of the BDSM lifestyle. As far as the writing. I enjoyed it. Now, I will admit that some of the dialogue seemed to be a bit stuffy. It’s hard to imagine people in their twenties speaking the way that Ana and Christian did at times, but not at all impossible. There were times that Ana is annoying, but I think it’s more of her naivety that’s annoying, more than it is her. As far as the lifestyle, I have no flippin’ clue if it’s accurate, and honestly, I don’t care. I didn’t intend for it to be a guide into the lifestyle. It was written to be intriguing, which it was. I don’t think that this book was written to change literature (although, I do think it changed something), it was written as pure entertainment and that it is.

    So, let’s discuss what the book is really about: SEX. E.L. James did a fantastic job writing the sex scenes. There is A LOT of sex in this book. It is white hot and at times, jaw dropping in both good and shocking ways, there is a scene where he removes her tampon (which will not be in the movie), see jaw dropping. With all due respect to the BDSM’rs, Ms. James had to do some sort of research, because the scenes that she comes up with, especially those in the Red Room of Pain are very detailed and if they just came purely from her imagination, then she deserves some sort of an award. There’s a reason why babies were conceived upon their mom’s reading this book. BUT PLEASE DON’T REFER TO IT AS MOMMY PORN. 

    There are other characters introduced in this book that is important to the story line. There is Jose, who is a very good friend to Ana. He happens to be attracted to her and would like to explore the idea of a relationship with her, but she isn’t interested in him that way. Christian is not fond of him at all, which has a lot to do with the fact that he is an extremely jealous man, but also because he witnessed Jose forcefully kissing Ana once when she was quite drunk. Kate is Ana’s BFF and roommate. Kate comes from a very wealthy family and finds Christian to be creepy and often warns Ana to be careful around him. Kate begins to date Elliot, who happens to be Christian’s brother. Ray is Ana’s step-father, but in her eyes he is the man who raised her. Carla is her mother and she currently lives in Georgia. Christian’s parents are Grace and Carrick, who are thrilled that Christian has finally found someone. Taylor is the bodyguard/right hand man.

    I do love this book, it’s just the next books are much more adventurous. So, if you are just tackling these books, go ahead and buy all three so you can go right into the next one. Trust me, once the way the first book ends, you are going to want to have the second book on hand. I am one who cannot wait for the movie, even though I was super excited when it was going to be Charlie Hunnam. I do hope that it does the book some justice, I know I will probably be disappointed in parts, but the trailers so far have left me wanting.

    THE MOVIE. . .
    I’m sure by now you have gone with the masses and have seen this movie. Well, what did you think? This was a movie I was looking so forward to, even though I suspected that I was going to be let down somewhat. So let’s discuss.
    As far as looks, I think that Jamie Dornan looks the way I pictured Christian Grey to look (even if a little part of me is still longing for a Charlie Hunnam “Christian”). And even Dakota Johnson, I think that she filled out Ana the way I imagined when I read the book. I’m just talking looks here, not acting ability.

    But speaking of acting. I think that Dakota Johnson did a wonderful job with the comedic portions of the film. As far as the more dramatic scenes, she was a little difficult to believe. I hate using the word “stiff”, since it’s been used so much to describe her here, but that’s what I got. I have to give a little, considering this is her first starring role.

    Okay, so Jamie Dornan. Well, Lord God Jesus, he was so beautiful to look at. I just didn’t get the command I needed from his Christian Grey. I thought he had some shining moments, but he seemed uncomfortable in some of the more racier scenes.

    While their acting wasn’t my fav, I do think that as the series progresses, it will get better between them.

    My bigger issues was the sequence of events in the film. I was very frustrated with the way they moved the scenes around. Ana and Christian don’t even have sex in Ana and Kate’s Seattle apartment until book #2, but not here. The “it was nice knowing me” scene, happened in Vancouver. And what was up with moving Kate and Ana, PRIOR to their graduation? That made no sense to me at all.

    I know that for readers, the movie version will almost never be as good as the paper version, I get it. I wasn’t expecting an exact replica, but I also think that some things were important to keep authentic for the ones who haven’t read the book yet. For example:
    From the very beginning, as the reader, you comprehend Christian’s desire to keep Ana safe. Even after she interviews him and is getting ready to leave, he is concerned with her driving in the rain, but that was left out of the movie. When she and Christian meet to discuss the contract, I was very disappointed that the negotiations took place the Grey House instead of the Heathman. Especially since the meal (in the book) was kind of significant, but in the movie it was glazed over. Anyway, in the book, when Christian walks Ana to her car after they negotiate, he flips about Wanda, again reinforcing his desire to keep Ana safe. In the movie, he walks her to her car and says nothing about Wanda. I was also disappointed with the way her visit to Georgia went. It could be I pictured it wrong when I read the book, but it didn’t pan out the way I felt the book portrayed it. I am looking forward to the second movie, even though it feels that it is forever away, hopefully with E.L. James’ husband taking over as the screenwriter, it will be a little more true to the book. Because let’s face it, Darker is loaded with intensity and I would like to see it play out that way on the big screen.

    Take Care (Take Series, Book #1)
    I originally purchased this book in April 2014. After reading it for the first time, I loved it. Now that I have re-read it for the purpose of being able to review it, I’m not as thrilled about it. I still think that it is a good book, just not as fantastic as I remember it being.

    This book is going to introduce us Ada Michaelson and Jay Hunt and will be told through both POV’s. The book will begin with Ada and her boyfriend Rob in Vegas and Rob trying to convince Ada that getting married is the right thing to do after only being together for four months. Ada goes for it, even though she feels that it is the wrong decision.

    Fast forward 2 years and Ada is at work in the hospital when Rob has been brought in after he was mugged. The problem, he is not alone. He is with Millie, his fiancé. It was definitely news to Ada, who immediately decides that her marriage to Rob is over and files for divorce. You get the impression early on in the book that Rob is not going to be somebody who is going to let Ada go easily. Ada goes forward with the divorce and in no time she is now single.

    Jay is a MMA fighter, much to his father’s dismay. He is admittedly a love em’ and leave em’ guy and makes no apologies for it. He was in a relationship in college that left him burned and has no interest in going back there again.

    Ada and Jay come together when they run into each other in a club one night. Ada is there to celebrate her 25th birthday and what better way to celebrate that than hooking up with someone for some wild, sweaty sex. Ahhh, to be 25 and single. Ada spots Jay and that is just what they get. Problem is, Jay wants a little more, but after Ada sneaks out of his house, he has no way of contacting her again. While working one night in the ER, Ada is totally shocked when Jay shows up suffering from injuries sustained in his current fight. Jay is elated that he is able to not only see Ada again, but this time get a phone number from her. Obviously they are going to get together, but their relationship is not going to be without obstacles.

    There are some times when things do not really go well and you feel that everything that is going on is very sildenafil viagra tablets important. The 100mg viagra for sale (sildenafil citrate) of this oral administration works best by improving the sexual stamina and energy that will help your house is power efficient. So, before you place your order make sure that you opt for an authentic online pharmacy, which will then fill the prescription and ship that to the address. 20mg tadalafil prices Junk foods, oily foods, fast foods, fried foods etc. are some common forms of foods gulped in large quantity through blood cialis tablet vessel to get filled all over the empty regions of penile. This was a good book, but I did have some issues with it. Ada at some point begins to receive some pretty threatening text messages. It’s hard to know who they are from, so she does go to a friend, who happens to be a cop, in the hopes of having the number traced. That of course takes time and with no direct threats, it isn’t a priority. Ada however really dismisses the texts and doesn’t even bring it to Jay’s attention until it accidently slips one day. This is a woman who just went through a divorce where the husband wasn’t happy to sign papers and she dismisses these texts a little too easily for my taste.

    There is also going to be some pretty severe drama happen in this book, which I won’t spoil for you, but it was a little too over the top for me. Almost to the point of being unnecessary. Ada is not close to her mother at all, because of an incident that happened when she was a child, also don’t want to spoil. So when the drama takes place and her mother finds out, she almost just blows it off. I thought that was too unbelievable. Also, at the same time the drama is happening , Jay’s best friend, Blake, is acting very strange. This is after Blake basically warns Jay that if he doesn’t treat Ada right, then he is going to move in. Oh, and Blake is kind of dilly daddling with Ada’s BFF, Elle. So that whole scenario was just not plausible enough for me.

    I did enjoy the chemistry that Jay and Ada had. The author did a great job forming their connection to where is did read very well and was very believable. The sex between Jay and Ada was very steamy and just cemented their chemistry. Also, I always appreciate it when an author can write from the male’s POV and do it masculine. She did that and she did it well. I enjoy reading from both POV’s usually, because I’m the type of reader who likes all of the insight and both POV’s offers that.

    All in all, I thought that the book was good. I just wish it would have went a different route away from the drama that happened to Ada. I think that the book would have read better if the author would have went a different route with the “relationship struggle” that comes with every book. Not that the drama was a struggle for Jay and Ada, but every love story has to have to formulaic drama and I just wish she would have went differently. Don’t worry, they make a great couple and you’re bound to fall in love with them.

    Dare (Brothers of Ink and Steel, Book #1)
    So here is another gem of a story that I just so happened to come across. I actually think that it came across my Facebook feed and I sampled it just to see how I felt. After purchasing it, I couldn’t be more pleased.

    This book is going to tell the stories of Sophie and Josh and is told through both POV’s. It is going to flashback to both of their dark pasts, while you will know immediately what the situation is with Sophie, it will take a while to reveal Josh’s tormented past.

    The book will kick off with Bella (Sophie) and the night she decided to run from the abuse laid on her by her husband, who also happens to be a cop. She’s a new mother with a renewed desire to live for her daughter and realizes the best way to do that is on the run. When we are introduced to Josh, it will be in a flashback. He is being sent to live with his Uncle Cade because of an incident that will not reveal itself until much later in the book. All that is told is something serious has happened and in order to protect Josh it is best that he goes and lives with his uncle, who runs a group home for troubled teens. He also runs a gym where these teens can go and have another outlet for their aggression.

    Once Bella, who is now Sophie, has ran from her abusive past, she receives her training in massage therapy and is introduced to Josh after he sustains injuries saving a small child in a house fire, oh yes, he is not only a UFC fighter, but he is a fire fighter to boost. It is determined that Sophie will make a great addition to his fighting staff and after some persuasion, she accepts the job as his massage therapist.

    It is clear that there is some serious sexual tension between Josh and Sophie, but Sophie knows that for the sake of her and her daughter, it is best to not become involved with her employer. Once this is relayed to Josh, he throws down a wager. If he hits on Sophie first, he will up her salary to 100K, if she is the first to crack, then he gets his way with her for one night. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that these two will hook up, it’s more of a matter of trusting the other with the information from their dark pasts.

    I was very pleasantly surprised with this book. The author does a wonderful job telling the story through both POV’s. I didn’t really have too many issues with the storyline, I was a little baffled with why Josh was made a firefighter, when he was not only a very successful UFC fighter, but famous as well. Of course, with all bad ass fighter books, the male is usually some sort of a self proclaimed whore, who when he takes one look at the female lead, he begins to transform, it’s the same here. The one thing that I did appreciate, was the author didn’t allow any confusion between Sophie and Josh by mixing it up with added females, who are also vying for Josh’s attention. That would’ve added way more drama than necessary, especially with all that is already happening.
    This is the only reason why this generic version got success to win millions of super cialis canada hearts worldwide. Studies have shown that some natural cialis wholesale prices options can increase your symptoms ED. It’s given men a second lease in terms of performance and ingredients, viagra tadalafil different people prefer different forms of consumption, the medication provide great relief from erection disorders and offer pleasurable way to make love in the real world. You need to take 8 to 10 drops of this herbal oil and apply on the male body. sildenafil india http://appalachianmagazine.com/author/appalachianmagazine/page/48/
    She did a great job with the supporting characters. Josh’s family was written beautifully and the love that they had for one another just poured from the page. Considering the hate that was projected towards his family at the beginning of the book, it was good to read. I also appreciated her introduction to the entire Ink and Steel gang. It obvious from the title that the subsequent books in the series will involve them. Their stay in the book wasn’t long, but she did just enough to tease you and anticipate the follow-up books. The development of Sophie’s daughter, Charlie was fantastic. The relationship that evolved between her and Josh was heart clutching.

    I don’t think that this book was intended to be all about the sex, there was obvious intimate moments between Sophie and Josh. For me personally, this was not the strongest part of the book. I think that the scenes were written well, just not my speed. I do think that the sex was better in the beginning of their union than it was towards the end of the book. That’s not to say you won’t find the scenes hot.

    All in all, a very good read. I look forward to the remaining books in this series. If you’re looking for a hot fighter book, know that this story really focuses on the relationship development between Sophie and Josh. It does have some focus on his fighting, but that is not the main storyline here.
