Fifty Shades Darker (Fifty Shades, Book #2)

BXTCHES Gotta Warn: I’m sure you are already aware of this, but this is a trilogy and in order to understand and enjoy it how it was intended, you need to read these books in order. Which loosely translated means: if you haven’t read Fifty Shades of Grey yet, READ THAT FIRST. I can give a little leeway if you have seen the movie and not read the book, at least you get the jest. But, as with any book turned into a movie, the book is more detailed and slightly different from the big screen version.

Book #2 is going to start with a prologue from Christian’s POV, well Christian as a child. It will give a little insight into the adult Christian, not a lot, but helps with some understanding. The book will actually kick off 3 days after the “belt incident” and Ana walking out on Christian. I have said it before, so let me reiterate. Books #2 & #3 are better, in my opinion than the first book. The first book has to focus on getting to know the characters and their personalities. In the subsequent books, you already know them, so the real story telling can begin. I am aware that there are many layers to Christian and as the reader, we haven’t broken down all of his walls yet. But don’t worry, they begin to crumble in this book. I will try my best to not indulge and give too much away. But the way I see is like this, you probably have some friend who has already read this and has let you in on the “goings on” of this book, so while I’ll try not to give too much away, I won’t make it an absolute promise.

The book is still told through the POV of Ana, along with her inner goddess and sub-conscious, of course. Ana, doing what she thought was right at the time, is all kinds of torn up without Christian. In fact, she realizes that she left him because of the pain, but what she is now trying to reconcile is, has she caused herself more pain by walking out on him. She is also starting a new job, which is really the last thing that she wants to do, given her current circumstance. Remember, Jose has that show to display his photos and Christian has already promised Ana that he would escort her. Ana thinking that their “relationship” is over, is intending to attend the show stag. Christian of course, has other ideas and Ana is pretty shocked when she receives an email asking permission to still escort her. It’s no secret, she accepts.

I won’t get into the details regarding the show, but I will tell you that it’s pretty interesting. Christian is still aware of Jose and the feelings he has for Ana and Ana plays on that jealousy a bit. After the show is where negotiations once again resume. Only this time, there is not contract. Christian agrees to try a normal (well, “Christian normal”) relationship with Ana.

I am about to give away some info. First, remember when Christian had to leave Georgia all of a sudden? That’s because there is an ex-submissive on the loose and she is a danger not only to herself, but others as well. Mainly, Ana. There are also going to be some issues with Ana’s new boss, Jack. I won’t give it away, but remember she got some creepy vibes from him and just know that she should’ve listened to her spidey sense.

Mrs. Robinson will make several appearances and you will not like her, although I’m pretty sure she’s not on your BFF list as it is. Even though I do think that Christian set her up to justify her actions, she is definitely a bitch. Ana, however is not so forgiving, not that one could blame her. But one hopes that by the end of this book, with all the crap she has tried to pull, that Christian will begin to see  her true colors.

There is a lot about Christian that will be revealed in this book and will allow you to put a lot of the puzzle pieces together. I won’t reveal any of his deep dark secrets, but I will say, be prepared, because some are shocking.

Smoking hardens the arteries, making the blood flow in the direction of penis. for sale viagra So, it gets lowest price for cialis the extra energy and strength in time of erection. There are some things about Christian that most certainly frustrate the hell out of me. The main one being, is his expectation level of Ana, while not demanding the same of himself. He seems to want full disclosure when it comes to knowing everything about her, but when she demands the same with him, he brushes it off. I’m not really talking about his past or his secrets, I’m talking about the here and now. For example, I have already revealed that he has an ex-submissive on the loose and she has somewhat targeted Ana. Well, anytime Ana questions Christian, he refuses to part with information, though he expects her to cooperate with his need to keep her safe.

Would it be “Fifty Shades” without sex? That’s a fuck no. So let’s talk about all of the action. E.L. James really did a good job with writing the sex scenes for these books. I do think that some are kept pretty standard, while spicing it up and others are just jaw dropping erotic. I probably won’t be putting any of the scenes to practice in my own bedroom, but that doesn’t mean that ideas weren’t flying all around my imagination. The only drawback that I had, was trying to conjure up some of the images. They can get so descriptive at times, that it makes it hard to follow and try to imagine. I certainly don’t mean to imply that because of this the scenes are any less scorching, they are just as searing as ever.

Keep reading this series, it does get better as you go. Like I said, there are going to be some things that happen during this book that will make it very difficult for you to put it down (if it wasn’t already), but in order for me to even brush over it, I would have to give chunks away, and you know how I am with the journey of a book. I really believe that it is one to take on your own and really get the shock and awe of the discovery. The second two books are one of the reasons that I’m not giving up on the movies, because I enjoyed them so much better than the first book, I hope that the movies will at least transfer some of that onto the big screen.

This book is projected to hit the theaters in February 2016, so there is not better time to jump on the Fifty Shades bandwagon and find out what all the crazy is about.

Deacon (Unfinished Heroes Series Book #4) by Kristen Ashley

Deacon (Unfinished Heroes Series, Book #4)

BXTCHES Gotta Warn: This is book #4 in the Unfinished Heroes Series and by far, this book was my favorite. First warning, in my review for Raid, I said that, that book COULD be read as a stand alone, and I still think that. However, I think that in order to really enjoy THIS book, you need to read the previous three in the series. I don’t think that it is necessary, I just think that this book is more enjoyable if you have read them. If you choose to read this as a stand alone, know that characters from the three previous books make an appearance(s) in this book. Second warning, KA issues a slight “warning” in the beginning of this book, alerting the reader that Deacon is an anti-hero and that this book is an ADULT EROTIC book. She goes on to say that it contains light dominance, bondage, and anal sex. She brings this to the readers attention so if you have an issue with this, this book may not be for you. 

 One of the qualities I adore about KA’s writing is she intertwines her books from her other series in with, well books from her other series. For example, the cabins that Nina Sheridan visits in The Gamble, is the setting for this book. There are other examples, but why ruin the fun, it’s much more enjoyable when you come across it yourself. So, I love that she makes it to where you want/need to read her other series to really get the full enjoyment out of whatever her current book is. So, here we go.

This book is told MOSTLY from the POV of Cassidy Swallow. Since she was 12 and had her first visit to Colorado with her family, Cassidy has dreamed of owning her own little part of it. The opportunity appears and Cassidy and her boyfriend, Grant, are off to live her dream. While Cassidy is working hard at bringing her own dream to fruition and setting up her cabins, she realizes that maybe Grant isn’t The One to live her dream with. During one of their fights, is where she first meets Deacon or as he introduces himself, John Priest, when he shows up to rent a room. The story will take off quickly and fly through the first six years of Cassidy’s life in Colorado. During those six years, John Priest stays in cabin #11 several times a year. While they never really develop a close relationship during those six years, Cassidy would always try to keep that cabin open and even decorates it to what she thinks he would enjoy. So, while she never really knew how he felt towards her, she always really felt a connection towards him, even if it was one sided.

There relationship takes off once Deacon (still John Priest in the book) reveals to Cassidy, that he continued coming to the cabins for six years, in the hopes that he would discover that she would be taken and not be drawn to come back. Once they admit their attraction to one another, John Priest becomes Deacon and in true KA fashion, is the alpha male we all love from her books. Now, she describes him in her opening “warning” as an anti-hero, and once I discovered his past, I understood that description, I just don’t agree with it. Now, he refuses to share his work with Cassidy, but only because he didn’t want it leading to her doorstep, so maybe it was him not opening up, but understandably so.  While he did keep a part of his life secret, he didn’t talk about his work or family, I thought the reason he gave Cassidy was fair (this could be my heart and not my brain speaking). For me, Deacon went to the top of the list for the Unfinished Heroes, and I LOVED Creed, so this speaks volumes.
Pertaining to payment, unica-web.com wholesale viagra india they furnish you flexible payment setting through nearly all officially permitted cash transfer processes almost the purchasing of Kamagra Fizz. It carries a very essential component that is tadalafil cialis from india sildenafil citrate that dilates the arteries. Both young and older men prefer taking kamagra 100mg tablets due to india generic cialis its availability, quality, effectiveness and cost factor as well. These above precautions enable one cialis active with quick consumption and experiencing of the effects.
This story does not really focus at all on Deacon’s work, which if you read Raid, you understand what he does for a living. It really is the story of love and that love bringing a dark soul into the light. I think this is true for both Deacon and Cassidy, while Deacon was most certainly a dark soul, he was able to bring Cassidy something she had been missing and needed. She just didn’t know she needed it until he gave it.

Let’s get to the nitty gritty good stuff. The sex in this book is A-FUCKING-MAZING!! I sure hope that KA has a sex life that’s out of this world or at least has one planned, because the way she writes her sex scenes, can really give a girl some ideas. She really impressed me with this book though. I won’t give anything away, but I personally was not disappointed, so kudos to you Ms. Ashley.

I so want you to read this book. It was so fantastic. I was very happy with my decision to read the first three books in this series, before enjoying this one. Truth be told, I even re read them, since it had been so long since I read them. Just like the other three books in this series, this book isn’t especially long for a KA book, but worth it all the same. I really hope you enjoy this book and I don’t know if this is the last in this series, it would be fun if the next book was a tie in of all the books and brought all the characters together. Just a fantasy.

The Ride (Hell’s Disciples MC Series, Book #1) by Jaci J

The Ride (Hell's Disciples MC Series)The Ride InfoSynopsis TagThe Ride (Hell's Disciples MC Series)Bxtches Be Blogging Book Reviews

The Ride (Hell’s Disciples MC Series, Book #1)

First, let me say that I enjoyed this book. However, I suggest that you download a sample first (if you have an e-reader, of course), and base your purchasing decision on your enjoyment of the sample. One thing that I’ve learned is the MC books are a lot like a steak, everyone wants it different. This book is not as hardcore as Madeline Sheehan, whom I love, but I think her MC books are about as hardcore and gritty as it gets.

I actually read this book a while back, but once the second book in this series was released, I needed to catch up, so I skimmed back through this on so I could recall what went down in this book.

Here’s the rundown: First, know that this is a MC book, which means it’s the run of the mill formula: “tough biker who doesn’t do relationships falls for the girl who is off limits”. Now even though that basic premise has been and continues to be done, the author does write it well. This MC has problems that this book dives into, so it does keep you interested. This book is written from both POV’s (and done so extremely well).

First up is Tank. I really loved him. She wrote him very well and epitomized the alpha biker to a T. He’s got a dirty mouth, sexy, and knows how to please a woman.

The option to http://icks.org/n/data/ijks/1482456353_add_file_2.pdf levitra no prescription is a boon in disguise. cialis sale http://icks.org/n/data/ijks/1498534150_add_file_1.pdf Eating few particular food groups can even trigger this disease. However, see content viagra for cheap you must weigh your options carefully as one wrong move can cause you more damage than good. Today, you generic cialis pill can easily get the pack of Chinese herbal teas from online market stores. Lilly (Lil) is the princess of the Hell’s Disciples and so of course, off limits. It’s no spoiler that Tank and Lil are going to fall for one another and it being a MC book, means that in the process, shit will go down.

If you’ve read the synopsis, you already know what the story is about, so I’m not going to go into detail. I don’t want to give too much away. I don’t like to write spoilers if I can avoid it. So if you like MC reads, I think you will enjoy this book. If you are not a fan of foul language and hot sex, then I wouldn’t spend the money. But I will say that if you are not a fan of those things, you probably shouldn’t be checking out MC books in the first place. Overall, a good read. The second book in the series (Crash and Burn) is out, but you will need to read this book first.
