Review: Wake Me Up Inside

Wake Me Up Inside by Cardeno C.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Cardeno did it again, another brilliant book I couldn´t put down.
When you write paranormal, there are so many things that can go wrong. If you don't do your homework properly you could end up with not a book about shifters but a book about humans who bark at the moon and turn into dogs!
You need research, and you need a background story, legends and a whole subculture to work around.
And that is exactly how Cardeno did it.
For Zev, the future Alpha and leader of the pack, was never about finding a mate it was about timing to let everyone know he found his mate when he was a little over 1 year old, and that said true mate was a boy name Jonah.
A lot of things had to happen before Zev can introduce Jonah as his mate. A long time spend apart from each other that only hurts them both every day.
Secrets, some that are kept to protect the ones they love. Some, that they didn´t even know existed.
And Zev and Jonah, GOD! they are hot together!!! this was like the sexiest thing I´ve read...and they didn´t have sex till after chapter 20 so...yes, amazing! the UST in this book is almost evil, not fair but it serves a purpose.
I can´t wait to read book II, Cardeno got me hooked again...

Review: Catalyst

Catalyst by S.L. Armstrong

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I normally, usually, read back to back.
The last time I had to take a break between books was with Into This River I Drown because it left me emotionally exhausted.
Here, again, I have to take a break because Catalyst was so beautiful, so powerful, so raw and real, my head is still spinning.
Full review will be up in HOF soon.
For now, all the feelings, all the stars for this one.
A must read for anyone who enjoys BDSM

Review: Something Different

Something Different by S.A. Reid

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This is exactly what I look for in a book, compelling characters, interesting conflicts, not overused cliches or uncalled drama.
Unsatisfied married man, just going through the motions of life, meets rent boy and develop feelings that are so strong and unknown for both of them took them by surprise.
None of them thought that they were still able to feel, to need, to love so much.
Sex, and I'm not just talking about the act, the approach to it was so different for both of them.
Were James found his power and control in his sexuality, Micheal was intrigued and insecure discovering his needs and finding pleasure in something that was so far out of his comfort zone.
I loved everything about this book, a definite favorite.

Review: The F Words

The F Words by Anyta Sunday

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



A very powerful angsty read.
Once I got over the initial confusion (my fault for reading out of order!) I was able to enjoy Eric´s & Rory´s story.
Just like all the books in the series, there is one event that sets the MCs as enemies to begin with and follows their story into becoming lovers.
In Eric´s and Rory´s case is about self-discovery, forgiveness, grieve, and learn to let go and move on.
Eric was specially patient and sweet. Rory is all his stubbornness was shy and insecure, but finally was able to trust and ask for help.
Lovely, highly recommend it.

Review: Rhys Has a Crush

Rhys Has a Crush by Melanie Tushmore

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I literally LOL with this one.
Rhys is super cute, dorky and adorable...his scheme to get Damien to finally notice him is silly and funny.
Damien, is a bit...I didn't really get him until the last minute.
Maybe inspiration will hit Melanie again and she will write more for us?

Review: Giving an Inch

Giving an Inch by Heidi Belleau

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This was a short, sexy read. 3.5 stars, rounded up.
I was actually expecting more, going by the blurb it felt like it was longer than the actual book.
I have to be honest and say that the texting by mistake was a bit silly to start off, but nothing after that was silly at all.
It´s the perfect short story for those with a voyeurism tendency, and get a kick out of sex in public ;)
The D/s relationship is all in the form of text messages, so the interaction between Carson and James is more in James POV and what he remembers and shares with the readers.
But the dynamic is clear, the attraction strong and Jame´s need to please his Professor is hot.
So yes, go get your fix of risky sex with this great short.
