Book Review: Nevada Volume

Image
  Just sign on the dotted line… Elizabeth Getting treated like a little girl by my dad always struck a nerve, and it’s made that much worse when his new flavor of the month turns out to be a ditzy twenty-something year old younger than I am. To add insult to injury, my dad thinks he can berate me in front of one of his best friends and make me fall into line. But I’ve never respected my dad enough to obey him, but in the eyes of his best friend I always wanted to be the good girl. Tristan Watching my best friend lay into his daughter isn’t my favorite pastime, and the problem with Elizabeth is she needs a firm hand and a little bit of tough-love discipline to help her stay on track. I don’t think she’s ever met someone who she respects enough to give up control like that, but given a little time and a lot of trust I fully believe we can work through the error of her ways and get her back in her dad’s good graces. If all else fails, she can work on being Daddy’s good girl at my hous...

  “Touch her and die.” The boy from the club seemed nice. He was supposed to give me my first kiss, but instead, I’m in a dark alley, and he and his friends have knives. They rip my clothes, and two of them hold me down as one of them undoes his trousers. I’m sobbing, and pleading, and wishing there was someone, anyone to help. Then a tall man with a deep voice, commands, “Stop.” Moments later, I’m covered with their blood, and shaking.

Book Review: Treble

Image
  We all know the story… Boy likes girl. Boy stalks girl. Girl knows she’s being stalked and is a little too into it. That’s how it goes, right? Keri is a talented cellist for a symphony orchestra with dreams of performing music for movies and television. When not one but two men in the ensemble begin stalking her, she turns the tables and accidentally becomes a stalker herself. While Paul enjoys the thrill of the chase, Victor is determined to keep her for himself. With Keri starting her new job in Hollywood, will their obsessions end in a crescendo? Or does the novelty fade when you know you’re being followed? Treble is a romantic parody intended for mature audiences. My Review I always look forward to reading Irene's newest novellas. She makes me laugh every time. In addition, that you never know what you will read. Take example a few of these lines: "I'd buy a collar, but Victor would likely assume it is for my nonexistent cat." "I'm delightfully unhinged...

  Tropes : Vigilante mmc Captor fmc Masked man She's  more  unhinged Grey I took revenge on a broken financial system, never expecting that my biggest problem would be the woman who locked me in her basement afterward. She wants one the reward money for turning me in. Unfortunately for her, we have more in common than she thinks. She’s just as unhinged as I am, and she’s felt the squeeze of the same monster I killed. Maybe we can help each other. To the world, I’m a murderer. To her, I’m a vigilante. My Review Welp, Lauren does this and springs a new release on me. I gobbled it up real fast. Just what I needed to fill up a couple of hours of my day. A quick read. This novella is dark and unhinged. Just like I like my book boyfriends. Pick up this novella today and get to know Grey.  I thought Grey was the one to watch out for, but I was wrong. Nope, it is Briar. There is no kink shame going on here. Briar's way may be a bit unorthodox to Grey, but it did allow him to...
