Complicated Hearts Book 2 by Ashley Jade

πŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“š My ReviewπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“š
I received an arc while at work, I started reading as soon as I got home, my plan? To read some and then finish today. But you know those books where you can't put it down? You say one more chapter, one more page, one more paragraph, one more sentence, one more word.....and then before you realize it is 3 in the morning and you have to be at work at 7. You're running on fumes and caffeine. All the while you're thinking it was so worth it. About 18 hours after finishing this book and my emotions are still wrapped in these three. I want my own Asher Holden and Landon Parker. Ashely I loved it! I waited somewhat impatiently for this second book, and it was totally worth it! By the way I think little brother Holden needs a book!!!

Title: Complicated Hearts: Part 2
Series: Complicated Hearts Duet
Author: Ashley Jade
Genre: New Adult/Erotica/Menage
Release Date: August 31, 2017

Things are going to get...complicated. 

This is Book two (the final book) of the Complicated Hearts Duet. Book one must be read first.
Warning: This book is not for everyone. These characters are flawed and the situation is intense and frustrating. Emotions—all of them—run high. If you're looking for perfect characters and a perfect story...this book isn't for you. 
Trigger Warning:
This story is strange and unconventional. It's everything you hate. That's the only warning I can offer you.

I'm a lover of romance, erotica, dark romance, oxford comma's, the em dash, peanut butter on my cookies and anything thought provoking...except for math. 

I've always read books growing up and after having a strange dream one night; I decided to just go for it and publish my first series. 
Little did I know, I would end up falling head over heels in love with writing and it would own and soothe my soul. 
If I'm not paying off student loan debt, working, or writing a novel—you can usually find me listening to music and pondering the meaning of life. 
Check my amazon page and Facebook page for future novels. I recently became hip and joined Twitter, so you can find me there, too.  I love connecting with my fans—you are my world.

Toxic by Nicole Blanchard

πŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šMy Review πŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“š
I was drawn to this book when I saw the first teasers then read the blurb. I love dark romances and this one didn't disappoint. Unfortunately for some there are several situations depicted that could be a trigger, violence, sexual and physical abuse, so please avoid if these things are an issue for you. For the rest of you, Tessa and Gracin are so freaking intense and just argh! I found myself hurting for Tessa and the situation she is in with her marriage. I've seen several comments about why didn't she just leave, nothing really keeps her there. For those who think that way: I am super happy that you have lived a life free from domestic abuse, because directly or indirectly it destroys you. There are many reasons that victims stay in these types of situations and the fact that the author kept Tessa in that marriage shows an understanding of that reality. I absolutely loved this book and I highly recommend for those who love dark romances that push boundaries.

Toxic

by Nicole Blanchard Publication Date: August 22, 2017 Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Dark Romance
“John Doe” was just another patient. A criminal. As a prison nurse, I knew the rules: do my job, don’t get involved, and never let a prisoner get under my skin. I broke all three. My passion, my obsession, my addiction. I risked my entire life so we could be together. I thought helping him escape from prison would be the hard part. It turns out when you fall in love with a villain, you also turn into one.

Can't Hardly Breathe by Gena Showalter

πŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šMy ReviewπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“š
Gena is one of my absolute favorite authors and I fell in love with this series from the beginning. I was ecstatic when I heard the series was going to continue after West's book, then I found out it was Daniel's book. I have been looking forward to this since he was introduced! And it did not disappoint!  As always Gena as given us the perfect mix of laughter and love, even if it was a bit frustrating getting there. Can't wait to read the next book, keep 'em coming!
   

From New York Times Bestselling author Gena Showalter, comes the next standalone romance in the Original Heartbreakers Series—CAN’T HARDLY BREATHE!

Order your copy today!

   

CAN’T HARDLY BREATHE Synopsis:

New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter returns with an irresistible Original Heartbreakers story about a woman who’s never felt desired and the man who wants her more than air to breathe…

Bullied in high school, Dorothea Mathis’s past is full of memories she’d rather forget. But there’s one she can’t seem to shake—her longstanding crush on former Army Ranger Daniel Porter. Now that the sexy bad boy has started using her inn as his personal playground, she should kick him out…but his every heated glance makes her want to join him instead.

Daniel returned to Strawberry Valley, Oklahoma to care for his ailing father and burn off a little steam with no strings attached. Though he craves the curvy Dorothea night and day, he’s as marred by his past as she is by hers. The more he desires her, the more he fears losing her.

But every sizzling encounter leaves him desperate for more, and soon Daniel must make a choice: take a chance on love or walk away forever.
