Review: Precarious (Jokers' Wrath MC #1) by Bella Jewel

Precarious by Bella Jewel BnB rating: 5 of 5 stars Intense With amazing characters, smouldering heat, and a strong plot, Precarious is a fast-paced MC romance. Having such a confident heroine made such a refreshing difference to this genre. She kicked ass big time. It made the story so much more enjoyable. View all my reviews Blurb From USA Today and Amazon Top 15 Bestselling Author, Bella Jewel. In darkness, we find danger. In danger, I find Beau. Ash is a prison guard, she's tough, she's strong and she never backs away from a fight. She takes her job seriously, she takes her training seriously, and everything in her life goes as planned.

Release Review: Senseless Attraction - Lila Rose

Three parts. Two points of views. Never one to care what others think, seventeen-year-old, Mt. Henry High School student, Skylar James, is content with it that way. That is until she's assigned her history partner, rich-boy Kane. Being invisible at Rushton High School, is just how seventeen-year old Alexandra Harmony likes it. That is until she's asked to tutor bad-boy Tristan. What does it take to make opposite yet parallel lives collide Senseless Attraction. I have been so fortunate over the years to read fabulous five star reads. I deliberately try to select books I will genuinely love. This book, Senseless Attraction, like only a handful of others over the past six months, could quite simply make me gush. I could easily go on about the fabulous ease of the read, the dynamic characters, the intense relationships and the truly beautiful, heart felt love I sensed pouring off these pages. But it’s simpler to say – I LOVE this book!  Immediately a...

Paranormal Pumpkin Patch Day Ten w/ Giveaway - Stephanie Rowe

"He was all male, a testosterone-laden specimen of strength and aggression and a threat to all she was as a woman. He was a ruthless temptation to her deepest, darkest desires, the ones she'd hidden away, even from herself."  Darkness Seduced (Book #2 Order of the Blade) by Stephanie Rowe. To say that I am merely a fan of Stephanie Rowe is a HUGE understatement. Stephanie rocks my book world. Seriously! I love this damn woman. She kicks ass at the whole writing gig! Day Ten is a day dedicated to one of my favourite authors. The author, who single handedly gave me a reason to open Bex 'n' Books in the first place! She was my very first blog review on Bex 'n' Books - and this is the actual book that I reviewed almost 18 months ago. Please read my review of Darkness Seduced and see why I feel in love with Stephanie's fabulousness! Reviewer: Bex Rating: 5 out of 5 Fairies Darkness Seduced is such a passionate book. From the first chapter, I wa...

Review: Duncan - Teresa Gabelman

Reviewer: Bex Rating: 5 out of 5 Fairies From the onset of Teresa Gabelman's third installment in her Protectors series, it was clear that there would be little room for air or respite. We are immediately thrown into drama and action, swiftly followed with a romance so sweet, yet smoldering hot, that it was impossible not to immediately love 'Duncan' and the characters. 'Duncan' hits a new level of depth in the series. The protagonist, Pam, carries with her such a history, one that is painful and moving. She is not the woman who I grew so fond of in 'Damon'. The realistic and deeply descriptive character development surrounding her character, was beautifully constructed by Gabelman. I cried and was truly moved. Overall, I found the story line empowering and uplifting. With the support and strength of the dreamy Duncan, it was easy to cement a new book crush in my life. The character relationships really enabled 'Duncan' to come alive on pap...

Review: After Tuesday - Renee Ericson

Reviewer: Amanda Rating: 5 out of 5 fairies First off this book is young adult, and there are sexual situations and drug use involved. Ruby nicknamed "Tuesday" by her Dad, is the main character. Ruby doesn't have the normal teenage life, her Mom died in a car accident when she was little and ever since her Dad has struggled. Her Dad is an addict and not just alcohol, heavy drug use as well. Ruby has relied on herself most of her life, her Dad does not abuse her but, leaves her alone all the time. She works and takes care of everything, even buys the groceries. Things a regular teenager doesn't worry about. Her one goal is to get through her senior year of high school and get into a college. Without spoiling the whole book for everyone, this book is all about Ruby and her emotions, she finds herself coming out of her shell so to speak. She starts her Senior year with new friends and a new boyfriend. Now with everything going right in her life for once, a sec...

Review: Limerence - Claire C Riley

Reviewer: Stacey Rating: 5 out of 5 Fairies Claire Riley doesn't leave a single detail out in Limerence! Even if your preference isn't vampire novels, this book appeals to romance and fantasy readers too! By moving the narrative voice between Mia and Breckt (and occasionally some other characters too), Riley creates a compelling cast and a dark, twisted narrative. We're forced to care for Mia because of what we know (and what she doesn't). We watch as our heroine, Mia, who is desperately in love with her fiancé Oliver, fights the compulsion and attraction to one of the most beautiful and seductive men she has ever met. Mia's struggles with a pull to a man that she can't explain. And Breckt...well, I'm glad that I didn't like something about him (just couldn't put my finger on it).  Riley's vampire is more like the devil himself. He's into the physical and mental torture and uncomfortable sexuality that most people forget about whe...

Review: Alice Parker's Metamorphosis - Nicola Palmer

Reviewer: Stacey Rating: 5 out of 5 Fairies I must start by saying that when I was asked to read and review this book I was like "This is a kids book!" Yes, I love paranormal/fantasy books, but I am picky when it comes to choosing what I read. I like to have a connection with the characters and allow them to take me on the journey with them, so admittedly I was apprehensive about reading this...then I started reading and everything I've just said...I take back! This book wasn't only well written, it was executed brilliantly. The characters made the plot explosive, but better than that, believable! So well done, Nicola Palmer, you've converted me! The story was thrilling and mystical with just enough suspense to keep you wanting more! Alice is a 13 year old girl (that I instantly wanted to befriend) I wanted to join in the adventure (and this was at the beginning of the book.) Her friend, Sarah and brother, Thomas were along for the ride too. Alice...

Review: The Unfaithful Widow by J.S. Wilsoncroft

Reviewer: Stacey Rating: 5 out of 5 Fairies I found The Unfaithful Widow to be a fantastic romance novel with twists and turns at every corner. Already struggling to adjust to the reality of becoming a widow, Tess discovers her late husband had been keeping an unimaginable secret. After all of the heartache and heartbreak, anger and revenge are all that is on her mind...but how can you stop your heart hurting when this secret isn't going to go away? A best friend that won't take no for an answer persuades her that one night out to forget everything is all she needs. She see's him, a man hotter than hot, girls throwing themselves at him, French words spoken, heat rising where it never has before...could he be the one to make Tess forget her problems, or will he be the start of more? Does Prince Charming really exist and are Happy-Ever-Afters real? Jamie's writing sent me on a roller coaster of a ride that sent my emotions souring. I felt all of Tess'...

Review: Remembering Zane by J.S. Wilsoncroft

Reviewer: Stacey Rating: 5 out of 5 Fairies J.S. Wilsoncroft's short story, Remembering Zane, made me want to jump into the story with the characters. From the moment I picked this book up, I couldn't put it down. I felt all of Bonnie's highs and lows. I just wished it had been a novel, rather than a short story. Bonnie met the love of her life at the age of ten. Zane was the apple of her eye, her everything, the man she was going to spend the rest of her life with, marriage and children...the perfect life. But all of a sudden Zane is killed in a tragic accident. Bonnie's feels like her life is over; she will never be able to replace him or fill the void in her heart. A face from the past, Zane's best friend Johnathon walks back into her life, but not the goofy braced faced boy she remembered; he is now a man and a hunk of a man. Holding a secret he has kept for fifteen years, Johnathon feels now is the time he should share. Will this secret help...

Daughters of the Sea Tour Review: Chosen (#3) by Kristen Day

Reviewer: Bex Rating 5 out of 5 Fairies Chosen, by Kristen Day, reaches a pretty epic conclusion (although I have heard there'll be a fourth book! Yay!). The author takes her fabulous main character, Stasia, on a significant journey filled with adventure and action. Along her epic journey, we see her character and power develop and grow. Stasia is a formidable character. A female lead who is aspirational.

Review: Closure by Kim Carmichael

Today we welcome one of our newest reviewers to Bex 'n' Books. Reviewer Amber has joined our team - yay! She's started off with a cracking first read and a fabulous first review. Reviewer: Amber Rating: 5 of 5 Fairies Closure, by Kim Carmichael, creates amazing characters, ones that made me fall in love with this story immediately. Riley, the main protagonist, is a confidant and successful woman, so very different from the unique and different teenager she once was. She's a woman who reinvented herself after being scorned by the man she loved. She is a character who is easy to like and follow.

We're so excited to have one of Bex 'n' Books' favourites on the blog. Today, you're treated to a fabulous review of J.L's latest release, reviewed by Em, who just happens to be a HUGE fan of the lovely author too. This serious has completely blown us away.

ARC Review: The Charmed Fates by Christine Wenrick

Tomorrow is the release day of Christine Wenrick's 'The Charmed Fates', the final installment of her amazing trilogy.  We'd like to say a HUGE congratulations to Christine on the amazing success of her fabulous trilogy. Reviewer: Em Rating: 5/5 Wow, oh wow!! This book  didn’t disappoint me one iota. I opened to the first page to be induced and transported back into the world of Caleb, Olivia, Jax and Gemma. I started to read and couldn’t put the book down. I wasn’t surprised as I had had the same experience with the first two books, the storyline wrapped around me and enfolded me thoroughly taking me on the journey.

Review: My Demonic Ghost by Jacinta Maree

My Demonic Ghost by Jacinta Maree Bex's rating: 5 of 5 stars Jacinta Maree offers the reader something that I truly love, Teenage Fiction filled with intrigue, passion and characters that are beautifully crafted and intrinsically developed. It was impossible not to be swept away by the tide of emotion and drama that poured off Jacinta Maree's wonderful pages. As a harsh critique of dialogue, I was so very happy by the author's craft. Jacinta Maree created natural flowing dialogue that really helped to shape her characters and the wide variety of relationships evident in My Demonic Ghost. I believed her story, believed in her characters and believed, with out a doubt, that her fantasy world was real. Jacinta Maree successfully created two main protagonists that I whole-heartedly cheered for. Both Rachael and Lock were movingly real; there were several moments that I felt a rush of pride at their actions, and deep sorrow as aspects of their lives and stories un...

ARC Review & Giveaway: Endless Night (Dylan Hart #2) by RM Gilmore

RM Gilmore has surpassed herself in the second installment of her Dylan Hart Series. Endless Night is somehow even edgier, more entertaining and most definitely side-splitting, tea-spitting funnier than book one, The Scene. I pretty much had a girl crush on Dylan Hart after being blown away by her foul-mouth, no-nonsense take on life and the paranormal in book one. In Endless Night, RM Gilmore takes Dylan on a new adventure, one that has her whole belief system spinning. The author successfully and impressively leads us into a fascinating world deep in the heart of New Orleans, where we witness Dylan Hart creating enemies, getting hot and heavy, and pushing her relationships that were established in book one to the extreme. There was not a moment that I was not completely and utterly engrossed in the storyline. The pace was phenomenally fast, with my heart kept pounding throughout the story; it was truly gripping. RM Gilmore's fantastic first person narrative allows the reade...
