✯✯5 Drummer Boy Filled Stars!!!✯✯

Omg finally!!! I’ve been anxiously waiting for A. L. Jackson’s next release and the waits finally over. 

This is a stand-alone and the start of her next new Falling Stars Series. I’m stoked bc in Kiss The Stars the guys and gals of Sunder are back since Leif is helping them out on the drums. In The Bleeding Stars Series we heard of the country band Carolina George and I’d been hoping we got more of them and that day has finally come. Whoop whoop!!

Leif Godwin is just trying to get thru his day without breaking. Waiting patiently until he can get his revenge onto those who took away what he loved and cared for most in his life. 

Music ran thru Leif’s veins.  It’s why he joined Carolina George. They’re made for stardom and he wants to help out anyway he can. Running into Lyrik from the band Sunder wasn’t the plan and neither was meeting an angel. 

Leif agreed to help out Lyrik and the others from Sunder. Step in playing the drums while they record their album. It’s only for two months and he’ll walk away with decent money. 

Leif thought he could keep his head down long enough to get thru it. Until in walked Lyrik’s baby sister, Mia West and her two children along with their extended Sunder family and Leif wasn’t sure he’d make it the entire summer. 

Mia hasn’t had things come easily. The birth of her daughter saved her and then her son completed her. She tries coparenting the best as possible. 

One night at close of business at her art gallery her and her best friend/business partner are held at gunpoint. Her best friend is killed and the cops have no idea who’s behind it. 

Mia and her kids go to stay with her older brother Lyrik, his wife Tamar and their two kids. Not that her big brother was giving her a choice otherwise LMAO!! 

Mia’s mind has been on the beautiful, dangerous man she met in the attic at her brothers house. Mia was shocked to learn he’s the infamous drummer her brother was saying that was coming to help them on their album. 

Mia’s not sure how she’s supposed to go thru the summer with him living in the guesthouse. Their chemistry is instant and super explosive and yet Leif pushes her away whenever they get too close. If only that was her only problem. There was still somebody after Mia. 

Leif wanted to leave almost the minute he showed up. When he finds out somebody could still be after Mia he knows instantly he can’t leave her. Between Leif and Lyrik they vow four eyes is better then two. He’s also worried that his baggage will be brought to their doorstep but he can’t leave Mia or her kids. 

This was another nonstop read for me. Definitely lost sleep but I wouldn’t trade this book for sleep. It has everything from hot rockstars and funny, hot country singers, a love story and suspense. It’s got everything!!

 Leif has bumped his way to the top of my book boyfriend list. I was heartbroken for him and what he went thru. That’s amazing man deserved a HEA that’s for sure. 

Mia was amazing as well!!! With her brother and his friends being famous musicians she knew what kind of lives they live and she swore she’d never get with a musician. But, all she needed was to find the right musician. Even though he tried pushing her away and was fighting his own demons, Mia never gave up on him or them. 

Add in Lyrik, Tamar and the rest of their family it was an epic read!!! Let’s also saw Lyrik’s son Brandon and Penny, Mia’s daughter they stole my heart. Hopefully, we’ll get their stories when A. L. Jackson starts hearing their voices. **Wink wink** 

I’m looking forward to the rest of the guys and lady of Carolina George. ESP Rhys bc he’s the one who spoke to me the loudest so far.

✯Review✯Wild Collision(The Wild Series #1) (Us Series #4) by Micalea Smeltzer

Title: Wild Collision (Wild, #1)

Author: Micalea Smeltzer

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Day: November 23, 2018

 

Synopsis

He was a beautiful nightmare. Mia Hayes is comfortable with her life as it is. Boring is good. Boring is normal. Boring is safe. But the thing with boring is it makes temptation all the sweeter. She was a sweet dream. Hollis Wilder goes a hundred miles an hour after everything he wants. Fast is fun. Fast is crazy. Fast is dangerous. But the thing with fast is it keeps you from thinking before you act. Together they were the notes in their favorite song. When Mia and Hollis collide—literally—music’s new bad boy can’t help but notice the beautiful red-haired woman with soft curves. She calls to him like a siren, and since the word no isn’t in his vocabulary he’s determined to get what he wants. The problem is, one night won’t be enough, and the fact that Mia is his mentor’s daughter complicates things royally. Mia’s the one girl that’s off limits, but she might be the only one he wants for real.  

✯✯5 Hollis Filled Stars!!!✯✯

Oh Micalea!!! I’m such a sucker for her books. ESP her rocker men. If you’ve read her Willow Creek Series be prepared. BC, rememberer bad boy Hayes.... He’s back. Hayes has opened his own production company. He’s found The Wild and has signed them first at his label. Hayes only has one major rule.... Stay away from his daughter Mia. 

Mia is going to school, working at the sub shop and has started at her dads company.  Mia wants to work in the music business and loves learning from her dad. 

When her dad signed The Wild she was happy for him. Then, she walked into her bedroom and walked into Hollis Wilder the lead singer. He’s one cocky SOB and she instantly hates him even though he makes her feel things she doesn’t want. 

Mia never grew up in the spotlight with her dad and uncles being in the biggest rock band.  She got used in the past bc of who her dad was. Since then Mia has said she’d never date another musician. Hollis is making her decision hard to follow thru on. 

Hollis’s dream was always for his and his best friends to make something of their music career. They’ve found a bit of fame and fans but never seem to make it big. 

When Hayes from the rock band Willow Creek signs them they all know their lives are about to change. Hollis  and the guys will put in the hard work to make their album a hit and climb the ladder to the top. 

Hollis wasn’t going to let anything get in his way. Until he came face to face with the fiery redhead. Then, his cockiness came out a little too much. Mia’s not like most girls. She grew up with her dad and uncles in the music business. She’d been hurt in the past and Hollis wants to prove to her not all musicians are the same. The biggest problem is if Hayes finds out about him and Mia they’ll loose their contract. 

This was amazing!! It’s a new adult read. These two are hot..... sweaty hot!!! There was so many times I was legit lol. 

Add in the other 3 guys from the band, Mia’s best friend Kira and of course Mia’s dad Hayes. There was a scene that happened that had me dying and I was like “OMG I’d die to get this in Haye’s POV” and Micalea must’ve known her Willow Creek fans would say it bc in a bonus epilogue was that scene from his POV and I was hysterical laughing all over.

Excerpt

He closes the distance between us swiftly, grabbing my face roughly between his hands. He kisses me quickly, desperately. It’s a bruising kind of kiss. One that leaves a path of flames in its wake. He lets me go and steps away. “I had to kiss you before I couldn’t for the rest of the evening,” he admits. I touch my lips where they still tingle from his. He flashes a cocky smile, pleased with himself for rendering me speechless. “I know I’m a good kisser, but I didn’t know it was possible to stun you into silence. I’m impressed with myself.” I snap out of my revelry. “I hope you go home and write about it in your diary.” “Oh, I will.” He smirks. “Is it pink and sparkly?” “Of course—I even hot glued my name in sequins on it and the first page is marked with Future Mr. Mia Hayes.”

✯Release Review✯Where There’s Smoke (Sweet Sin #2) by Kathy Coopmans

From USA Today Bestselling Author comes a standalone in the Sweet Sin series.

The lives of Dean Wagner and Tatum Fields have been ruled by the hand of fate.

The past six years of my life have been consumed by guilt. Since we lost Landon to a fire, I’ve done everything in my power to protect my daughter, Leila, from finding out the truth about how her twin brother died. Nothing in my life means more to me than her. 

Not my band, not my reputation. Nothing.

Until I see Tatum, the woman I saved on the beach the same night she dealt with a loss of her own.
~
The daily routine I’ve settled into is what keeps me going. Work at my chocolate shop, pay the bills, repeat. I don’t date. I don’t trust. And I have never forgotten the man who walked away from saving my life without allowing me to thank him.

I know how to reach him, but I avoid him at all costs. 

Until fate decides to make another appearance.

This is a story of how destiny ends up bringing these two souls back together, and how fate, the word very little people believe in is really their friend, after all.

✯✯4 Smoking Stars!!!✯✯ 

This is the second book in this series. And, just like book one I had such  a hard time connecting with the characters. I love the storyline and characters though.

Dean Wagner loves his twin children Leila and Landon more then anything in the world. He’d do anything to protect them and keep them safe. When Landon died in that fire Dean lost apart of himself. Dean will do anything to make sure Leila never learns the real reason on how her brother died. 

A year after Landon’s death Dean goes to the beach where he feels the closest to him. That’s when he sees Tatum on the beach. She’s at her rock bottom. Dean saves her life and walks away without a word. But, her eyes have haunted him. Five years later when Roman and Joslyn give birth to their son Dean goes to see them and comes face to face with the girl behind the eyes that have haunted him. Dean refuses to let her get away again. 

An hour before Tatum Fields was to get married to the love of her life, she found out her fiancé had been lying to her. Tatum was blindsided and just wanted out. Out of the wedding dress.  Out of the relationship. Tatum ran to the beach and went into the water. She wanted to wash everything about her fiancé off her and emerge new. Except a wave grabbed her. Then, the guy behind the eyes that have been haunting her for years got her out of the water. 

Five years later and Tatum thinks of Dean. She knows who rescued her. But, she doesn’t know how to say thank you to him. Tatum knows how to get a hold of him. She’s become friends with Joslyn and Roman. Roman’s the lead singer of their rock band Trained In Black. Tatum never told them about her and Dean’s encounter on the beach all those years ago bc she doesn’t want them feeling sorry for her. But, Tatum is tired of hiding from Dean. She spends her days working at the chocolate shop she took over after her moms passing.  She’s ready to start living again. Tatum wants to live hopefully getting to know Dean more. What Tatum wasn’t expecting was her ex-fiancé to comeback after all these years and learning he’s the same reporter whose had it out for Dean since before his son died. Now he plans on going after Dean and Tatum. 

I really do like Dean. He’s the perfect man, father and friend. Dean wants to keep his daughter safe from the reporters who hound them 24/7 and from her finding out how her brother down. He’s afraid it’ll kill her. He loves his bandmates. They’re his family and he’s hating that 2 of them are hurting. Dean’s also falling for Tatum. He wants her happy and loved. 

Tatum I really liked too. I was super glad she got away from the slim ball when she did. I never once faulted her for not telling Roman and Joslyn the truth. I prob wouldn’t of either. I also loved her relationship she had with Leila. 

As much as I loved the storyline and the characters I have the same issues as book one. There’s too much inner dialogue and hardly any talking between characters. The dialogue between characters is usually what makes me fall in love with them the most. There was also times where one sentence or paragraph would end and the next pick up days,weeks later. It was hard to follow at times. I couldn’t connect with the characters like I hoped. Miles and Brock stories are next and I’m looking forward to them. They sound like they’re going to be heartbreakers.

✯Release Review✯Breathe (The Luminous Series #2) by K.E. Osborn

Title: Breathe

Series: The Luminous Rock Series #2

Author: KE Osborn

Genre: Rock Star Romance

Release Date: February 21

She makes it hard to breathe. 

But the thought of my life going on without her is a thought I can’t even consider. 

Effa—the girl who illuminated my world, so vibrantly. 

And now I have no idea where the road will take me. 

When I agreed to go on tour with Luminous, I never imagined I would fall for their lead singer. 

I never intended for my world to come crashing down the way it has. The only thing keeping me going is my hope that maybe there might be a light at the end of this dark tunnel. 

With one catastrophe after another, can I come back from the disaster that is my life and find my happily ever after? 

She makes it hard to breathe, but am I enough for her to take another breath?

✯✯4 Breathing Again Stars!!!✯✯

Man talk about packing a punch into a story. KE Osborn wrote this duet for Effa and Mercs with real life issues. This book was nonstop and had so much in it. Even with everything that was in it the story was written perfectly

We pick up seconds after Pulse ends. Mercs doing CPR and praying Effa wakes up. Even after she wakes she'll need some down time to recover and whats better then back at Mercs home with his grandma and sister. 

Mercs spends most of his time taking care of everybody else in this book. Kiera's not getting better and the treatment that can save her cost more then Mercs has. He still owes money bc he tried gambling to get the cost for the surgery. His past is now in his present and lets say she's a bitch. Mercs knows he should tell Effa about the money he owes, but between his pride and her not getting better he doesn't get the chance. 

Mercs definitely made some mistakes. But, he did it with good intentions. He'd do anything to save his baby sister. He also loved Effa. Mercs wanted her safe and back to being healthy and on stage  doing what she loves the most. Mercs is the type of guy you want to be with.

Effa kinda annoyed me in book 1. But, she really grew to me in this  one. What Jett did to her was wrong and she didn't deserve it. Effa has a huge heart. She loved Mercs sister and grandma like they were her own and she loved Mercs. Money doesn't mean anything to Effa other then its just money. She was going thru a lot and wasn't seeming to get better and she still thought of everybody else before herself.   

I'm telling you this book was bananas. I did love that we got more from the side characters in this book then the first. I'm hoping we get more from them.
