October 2015 Recap and Bestsellers

11/05/2015

Best Sellers October 2015

October was a rough month for me since I spent most of the month recovering from surgery I did read some amazing books, but haven’t finished all the reviews yet.

OCTOBER REVIEWS

This is one of the best reading months I have EVER had, and I just finished reading November 9 by Colleen Hoover which was epic, so the streak is not ending!

Baking and Babies (Chocoholics #3) by Tara Sivec

stars_5

Flame_THREEhalf copy

See my spoiler free review HERE or read my mini review:

“It’s hard to be irritated when my penis is happy after hearing Molly call me her boyfriend. It’s too conflicting and it’s always best to go with whatever emotion my penis wants, and my penis wants me to be happy, dammit.”

I couldn’t have asked for a better end to my favorite series. Tara knocked this one out of the park with her mixture of crazy, hysterical, funny and sweet without going overboard on any of it. Molly and Marco were adorably awkward together, yet just as crazy as the rest of them in their own ways. As much as I love all of the books in these series, Baking and Babies is for sure my favorite of the three in the Chocoholics series (I can’t include Tattoos & Tatas in that, because that’s a hands-down favorite). If you have read this series, do yourself a favor, stick in a maxi pad, grab a glass of wine or a “special” cookie, and lock yourself away with a box of tissues to wipe away tears of laughter, and sadness that it’s over. If you haven’t read this series, what the fuck are you waiting for?

Walk Through Fire (Chaos) by Kristen Ashley

stars_4half

Flame_FOUR copy

See my spoiler free review HERE or read my mini review:

“Walked into a party, fell in love with you. Walked through fire when I lost you. Got you back. Nothin’, Millie, nothin’ will make me lose you. Hear?”

The first half of Walk Through Fire was an epic 5+ star read. The emotions, tensions and secrets ran high, the sex was hot and I couldn’t put it down. The second half was still great, but compared to the first half, it was almost a little long and draggy (eek! Did I just say anything KA was too long?) Still, Walk Through Fire is an epic second chance romance. These two are soulmates, no doubt about it, and they walked through fire for 20 years until they finally came back together.
Kristen Ashley has written another amazing book. While it may not have been a ‘perfect’ read as most of her books are to me, it came pretty damn close.

Altered State by Ella Dominguez
Guest Review by Raegan

stars_4

Flame_THREEhalf copy

See Raegan’s spoiler free review HERE or read the mini review:

“God, she’s so beautiful. With lips that beg to be kissed and a body that yearns to be held and cherished…”

This story had me audibly gasping and sitting with open mouth in complete disbelief and utter shock.  I was angry and sad, happy and turned on, and at times even my heart hurt for the characters.

Wicked Fall (The Wicked Horse Series Book 1) by Sawyer Bennett

stars_4quarter

Flame_FIVE

See my spoiler free review HERE or read my mini review:

“Add in some kink.
Let people explore their fantasies.
Indulge in your nastiest desire.”

The only other book of have read of Sawyer’s is Uncivilized which was very unique (see my review). Wicked Fall wasn’t quite as unique, but I still enjoyed every second. It was hot and dirty, yet sweet and romantic at the same time. Throw in some fun, and some banter, and it was a great light and sexy read. I totally plan to continue with this series, and I think it will only get better.

Sweet Addiction and Sweet Possession Audiobooks by J. Daniels

stars_4quarterstars_4three

Flame_FOURHalf copy Flame_FOURHalf copy

See my spoiler free review HERE or read my mini review:

“He has officially ruined all other men for me and I am perfectly fine with that.”

Oh I plan on reading a LOT more J. Daniels. She writes the type of books I love. Light, fun, and sexy. The perfect beach or vacation read. Filled with likable fun characters, banter, good sex, and some angst to keep it interesting. Add a hot possessive alpha, and you have the making of a great book! The narrators were perfect for the story, and perhaps even added to it, so I highly recommend this audiobooks.

Sweet Obsession (Sweet Addiction Book 3) by J. Daniels *Standalone*
Guest review by Tara

stars_5

Flame_FOURHalf copy

See Tara’s spoiler free review HERE or read my mini review:

“My god, he’s the owner, he has to be. With that body? He’s practically a walking advertisement for Abercrombie and multiple orgasms.”

You need to one click this book and add it to your library along with all of J Daniels other books, you won’t be disappointed. This book adds to J Daniels arsenal of amazing literary works and I know that I am looking forward to anything else she will write.

Breaking Him (Love is War Book 1) by RK Lilley

stars_5

Flame_FOURHalf copy

See my spoiler free review HERE or read my mini review:

“He was just how I remembered. Every gut-punching, heart-wrenching inch of him”
“When our eyes clashed, and everything, every horrible, wonderful, painful, ugly, beautiful, tortuous, ruinous, gory bit of us came back to me.”

RK Lilley has done it again. She combined mystery, passion, sex, love, hatred, drama and angst together in an unputdownable story that has you craving more. Despite the damage this couple does to each other, you can’t help but root for them and hope this last quote comes true. “All we are is proof that love can survive anything.”

Madame X: A Madame X Novel by Jasinda Wilder

stars_4three

Flame_FOURHalf copy

See my spoiler free review HERE or read my mini review:

“I know this is expected of me, and I cannot, dare not resist, or protest. And…part of me doesn’t want to. But I wish…I wish for the freedom to choose what I want. “

I had a hard time getting into Madame X, and actually thought that if it wasn’t for the fact that Jasinda has never let me down before, I might have put it aside. The second person narrative as well as the shorter, poetic sentences and lack of contractions took a bit to get used to. But I am so glad I persevered, because it was PHENOMENAL, I read Madame X in one sitting, something I haven’t done in years, and since I just had surgery, didn’t even think I could do. But there was no stopping once I started. Madame X was the perfect blend of mystery, suspense, sex, and poetic prose, and I can’t wait for the next.

1. PUCKED (The PUCKED Series Book 1) by Helena Hunting

With a famous NHL player for a stepbrother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation of many a hockey star. So of course she isn’t interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. When Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet’s misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match.

Suffering from a complete lapse in judgment, Violet discovers just how good Alex is with the hockey stick in his pants. Violet believes her night of orgasmic magic with Alex is just that: one night. But Alex starts to call. And text. And email and send extravagant—and quirky—gifts. Suddenly, he’s too difficult to ignore, and nearly impossible not to like.

The problem is, the media portrays Alex as a total player, and Violet doesn’t want to be part of the game.

Now I can’t stop fantasizing about one of the customers at the coffee shop I work at between classes. It’s just a harmless crush, right? It’s not like I ever see this guy outside of the coffee shop.

6. The Summer Remains by Seth King

Twenty-four-year-old Summer Johnson knows two things. The first is that due to a quickly worsening medical condition, she faces a risky surgery in three months’ time that may or may not end in her death. The second is that she would like to fall in love before then.

As spring sinks into her namesake season on the Florida coastline, Summer plays the odds and downloads a new dating app – and after one intriguing message from a beautiful surfer named Cooper Nichols, it becomes clear that the story of what may be her last few months under the sun is about to be completely revised. All she has to do now is write something worth reading.

Tender, honest, devastating and triumphant, The Summer Remains explores a very human battle being waged in a very digital age: the search for a love that will outlast this temporary borrowing of bones. In an era when many feel compelled to share and re-share anything about everything, prepare to feel a love so special, you will want to hug it close and make it yours forever.

11. Floored (Frenched: Erin and Charlie) by Melanie Harlow

***This is a full-length, standalone, contemporary romance.***

OK, fine. I’ll confess.
While my house was being robbed, I was in the shower indulging my favorite Brad Pitt fantasy (the one with the Troy costume and the handcuffs.)
But where is the justice in the world when the first cop on the scene is the former bully next door? How dare that arrogant jerk grow up to be six-foot-three inches of solid muscle with gorgeous blue eyes!
I can’t stop thinking about him. Or his handcuffs. Or his dirty mouth. Or the way he still likes to boss me around these days, only with a lot less clothing.
(Another confession—I like it now, too.)
But we’re totally wrong for each other…aren’t we?

THIS IS THE SECOND BOOK IN A TWO-BOOK DUET. IF YOU HAVE NOT YET READ CHASING THE DRAGON, PLEASE START THERE.
RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 18 & UP DUE TO STRONG LANGUAGE, EXPLICIT SEXUAL SITUATIONS, AND VIOLENCE.

I should have resisted him, but I couldn’t. My addiction to him was all-consuming, the high from his touch unlike any other.

Without him, I couldn’t focus, couldn’t think, couldn’t breathe.

With him, I hated myself for being too weak to fight the devil himself.

And Tyler Burnham was the devil.

He used me.

He lied to me.

But he loved me. And he still does.

Unable to stop thinking about the man who deceived her, Mackenzie Delano struggles to move on with her life and forget that Tyler Burnham ever walked into her life. But she still aches for him, despite his betrayal. Her mind is at war with her heart, a war that could be the difference between living and dying.

Tyler Burnham is lost without Mackenzie. As he contemplates the meaning of everything, he tries to find a way to prove that his feelings for her are true. That he would walk through fire to keep her at his side. That he would sacrifice it all…his career, his fortune, his life…to protect her.

The truth is, he may just have to…

18. Nowhere but Here (Thunder Road) by Katie McGarry

An unforgettable new series from acclaimed author Katie McGarry about taking risks, opening your heart and ending up in a place you never imagined possible

Seventeen-year-old Emily likes her life the way it is: doting parents, good friends, good school in a safe neighborhood. Sure, she’s curious about her biological father—the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent—but that doesn’t mean she wants to be a part of his world. But when a reluctant visit turns into an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: nothing is what it seems. Not the club, not her secret-keeping father and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both.

Oz wants one thing: to join the Reign of Terror. They’re the good guys. They protect people. They’re…family. And while Emily—the gorgeous and sheltered daughter of the club’s most respected member—is in town, he’s gonna prove it to her. So when her father asks him to keep her safe from a rival club with a score to settle, Oz knows it’s his shot at his dream. What he doesn’t count on is that Emily just might turn that dream upside down.

No one wants them to be together. But sometimes the right person is the one you least expect, and the road you fear the most is the one that leads you home.

19. PUCKED Up by Helena Hunting

Miller “Buck” Butterson has been banging his way through life ever since a puck to the face fixed his messed up front teeth. After five years in the NHL, deflecting goals on the ice and scoring them with puck bunnies, Miller has decided he’s ready for a girlfriend. A real, non-bunny girlfriend to take on dates, and not jump into bed with after five seconds of conversation.

Miller thinks he’s found that woman in his teammate’s sister. Except, unlike team captain and all-around nice guy Alex Waters—who happens to date his stepsister, Miller’s media reputation as a manwhore is well earned. Beyond that minor detail, Miller doesn’t know the first thing about relationships or the time and effort they require.

Miller learns—eventually—that if he wants to make Sunshine “Sunny” Waters fall for him, he’s going to have to do a whole lot more than show her his stick skills in the bedroom.

20. So I Married a Rockstar: A Bad Boy Romance by Marina Maddix

I hate rockstars. All of them. But there’s one in particular…

Drax is cocky, brash and one pitchfork away from being the devil himself. But he’s also the sexiest jerkwad I’ve ever met. Worse than that, he seems to crave my curves just as much as I long for his rock-hard, tattoo-covered body.

What am I supposed to do, just ignore those mesmerizing ice-blue eyes? Or how all my bits and pieces tighten whenever he’s near? Or the way his voice gets all husky when he calls me Lola?

Yeah, right.

That’s how I ended up on a tour bus headed for Vegas as the band’s new manager. But it’s only temporary, much like what’s going on between Drax and me. I just wish he’d got the memo. Oh sure, he’s putting on a good show that this is more than a fling, but I know he’s just like every other bad boy, heavy metal musician.

Want to know the worst part? I don’t like heavy metal or bad boys.

Maybe I’ll lie to myself a little longer.

FAVORITE BOOK/AUDIOBOOK THIS YEAR! Mary Jane by @j FAVORITE BOOK/AUDIOBOOK THIS YEAR! Mary Jane by @jessicaanyablau was so amazing, especially in audio. This coming-of-age novel set in 1975 was different than what I usually read, and I so enjoyed seeing the 14-year-old sheltered heroine see what life is like nannying for a progressive family who happens to be hiding a rock star for the summer.

Mary Jane is the perfect summer read, especially if you grew up during this time, and the narration by @caitlin.kinnunen was absolutely outstanding.

I couldn’t recommend it more.

The full cast narration and the production of this The full cast narration and the production of this “audioplay” is what made Seatmate a 5-star read for me. The storyline was cute and I loved the characters, but it wasn’t a deep, epic romance, it was a sweet and fun novella. Listening to it with headphones made it a full experience, and Amanda Ronconi and Zachary Webber felt so natural. I really felt like I was eavesdropping on a real conversation, and it just made Seatmate by @carabastone another 5 star favorite.
I love this whole series!

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by @tjenkinsreid The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by @tjenkinsreid is such a layered story, and it’s an important one. There are messages and themes running throughout to embrace all of yourself, and it shows what women have had to do throughout the years to get ahead. It’s filled with brilliant social commentary without ever hitting you over the head with it. It’s light at times, heavy at others, but engrossing the whole time. This is a book I am happy to recommend to anyone looking for a great book with our asking any qualifying questions.

I’m just starting this audiobook about a couple I’m just starting this audiobook about a couple married for 35 years, about to get a divorce, when the pandemic lockdown hits. Will being forced to be “safe at home” together help or end the marriage faster?

Tell me, what are your thoughts on pandemic romances? Is it too soon? Personally, I like it. It feels weird to not mention something that has been part of our lives for over 2 years. I will let you know how I like it later this week, stay tuned!
