On the Bus by Selena Kitt

On the Bus by Selena Kitt

Series: Sibling Lust #3

Year Published: 2008

My Rating: 4 stars

13 pages

Emily and Danny are twins taking a trip on a bus to visit their dad. It starts innocent enough, but when they start talking about some sex trivia, they start exchanging thoughts and inquisitions.
When they fall asleep, they end up into each other.. literally!!
A short, fun and hot read. I enjoyed it although it's taboo and incest but it's fantasy. I liked both characters and wished to read more about them.
But that is not why I removed a star!! The star is because some of the dialogue was too corny, it just turns me off like a light bulb.. It wasn't too much but all I can say is that it was almost a perfect story :)
For those who don't mind twincest or erotica this is a fun fast read, so don't miss it!

Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris

Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris

Year Published: 2011 

My Rating: 4 stars

336 pages

This is the 11th book of the Sookie Stackhouse series.
I have mixed feelings about this book.
I really expected to love it because I was so excited to read it, and have been postponing it to savour it. It was good but not to my expectations. Certainly not a favorite.

I will write the review soon!

Unplugged by Savannah Reardon

Year Published: 2008

My Rating: 2 stars

7 pages

A free short story about Alicia who is awaiting to have the time of her life anally. So as soon as Jack gets home he unplugs her and plunges.
Not much of a story, that simply summarized it. As a free read it was a sex scene, nothing more, but it was ok. Not hot just ok.

Kerri Gets Caught by Nikki Palmer

Kerri Gets Caught by Nikki Palmer

Year Published: 2011

My Rating: 2 stars

pages

A free short.

Kerri is with a cleaning service. Once a week she cleans Mr. Johnson's house. This is her treat of the week because there is not much to do and she always has 3 hours to do it. So she pleasures herself in his bedroom while watching his porn DVD's. Until now she has never met Mr. Johnson.
One time while pleasuring herself a man appears and tells her that the reality will be much better than fantasy and they get to it.

A too controlling/dominating male is just a complete turn off for me. So I didn't really like it much.. It was good until he appeared :)

A free short.

Rhiannon moved with her family to a new place and her stepfather enrolled her in a new academy. She kept realizing different and weird things about this academy, starting with the weird quiz she was given.
When she was asked afterwords to see the headmaster in his office, she was worried she didn't do well in the quiz. Then she discovered what the academy was all about..
It is all about submissive/dominance and sex slavery. I'm not really interested in it, but the story was ok. Glad it was short!

I got this for free, can't remember from where though, sorry!

Evan is a young man is working in a restaurant/diner and does the early shift because he is not eighteen yet. Je is so looking forward to staying late to get some extra cash.
Jim is the owner of the store and the manager is his son Troy. As soon as Evan turned eighteen, Troy starts telling Evan he can stay working late and work in whatever clothes he chooses.
Then Evan is caught one night and introduced to a whole new sexual world including Jim and Troy.

It was short, I didn't get to like the characters much, but it was ok.

M/M so if you don't enjoy it, stay away it's pretty hardcore.

Hot Head by Damon Suede

Hot Head (Head #1) by Damon Suede


Year Published: 2011

My Rating: 4 stars

320 pages

Dante and Griffin have been best friends since forever.
They are both straight firefighters working in the same station.. They have been there in 9/11 and since that day every year bars in New York honor firefighters with free drinks that night.
Dante is from an Italian family and Griffin is Scottish. MMMMMM both are yummy!!

So Dante is the womanizer and Griffin is having problems lately with having feeling for his friend and trying to conceal it while feeling guilty about it all the time.
When Dante gets short in cash because of a mortgage on his house and for fear of losing it, he is approached by a russian Alek who shoots porno flick for his website. When Alek convinces him that all he has to do is jerk off by himself for the camera and it's only a few minutes for a few hundred bucks.. he agrees.
When he tells Griff about it, he is not so happy!!
But somehow he gets Griff into the idea and they shoot a flick with Alek. But Dante still needs money and Griff would do anything for his friend.. So they go back to Alek and the fun starts :)

I don't wanna give any more about the story than I already gave.. It's fun and touching!

This was an amazing book. When I found out that this was the only M/M book to be nominated in the romance category in the 2011 book awards in Goodreads, I thought I had to give it a try.
I was not disappointed!!! Of course I voted for it!

It was so hot but endearing. The relationship that formed between the best friends was so enchanting and touching. I loved the development of it. The characters were perfect! Griffin  being self conscious about his size and feeling he is betraying his best friend with his sexy thoughts towards him, while Dante seems carefree and a womanizer but surprises me in the end with his inner feelings.
The Gay For You theme is one of my favorite Gay themes. It also comes under Friends To Lovers, and I love that too :)

This was my first time to read by this author, but I will look out for other titles by him. That was something else that amazed me, that the author is a male.. I'm kinda used to reading M/M by female authors, so this was kind of a change and I enjoyed it!!

Thank you Damon! You Rock!!!

The cover!! OMG the cover!! It is smoldering hot.. I love it! I'm imagining Dante the one in the back and Griffin the one in the front from the descriptions in the book.

I could go on and on about this book but I will just ruin it.. It is a recommended read for all M/M fans..

Ok now since I looooooooved this book, why did I give it the 4 stars instead of 5?! Well that's a personal choice because I don't really enjoy reading the weird sex terms that some writers use. For example "flog the log" and "salty handshake". I was annoyed that masturbating was referred to differently every single time.. It was hard to keep up. That's why I say it's personal choice, it does not take away from the story, and I did think maybe it was there for a reason like to show that the guys are macho or something, so maybe they did add to the story but to me it didn't.
That will not change my ind about reading more books though :) It was steaming HOT!!!

Quotes I enjoyed from the book:
Loretta smacked his head, smiling. "What am I, an idiot? The girl! You got some piece you can't stop mooning over."
"You're crazy."
"And you're stupid, but you're so good-looking we all have to forgive you." Her nails tickeled his beefy forearm. "I know that look Griffin. All through high school I hoped you'd give that look to me, so I always knew when you were getting goofy over somebody."

Dante played it to the hilt, smiling sheepishly with the big dog eyes and tucking his hair behind his ear with an "aw-shucks" sexiness that kept his fans creaming in their thongs.

Griff stepped a few more feet away, then stared right into his best friend's worried eyes. "D, I don't care what it is; I don't care what I have to do. You decide. Okay? I promise you. We will get the full amount to them, on time."

"I'm hardly a virgin." Dante opened his arms and looked down on himself. "I done way worse for way less, believe me." 
"Doesn't the idea freak you out, D? Us, together like that?"
"Why? It's just us, man. We done everything together."

Then those eyes, black as judgement. Griff raised his hand and almost touched Dante's face. Almost, but he stopped at the last moment, stunned by the heat and Dante's vulnerable expression. Griff swallowed, swallowed again. He could feel his whole body brace, the muscles like knotted rope.
He heard himself murmuring.
"Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease..."

"But what if you don't listen, jackass? Tomorrow you might have empty-wallet amnesia. If you get desperate, you may not want to remember anything about tonight." Dante thumped a thigh with his fist, next to the bulge under his zipper. "Then stick your damn tongue in my mouth, G. I guarantee that'll get my attention."

God save us from possessive Italians.

"I'm cleaning up a mess you made. You think I didn't watch you on the site, flirting with Alek. A hundred times? A thousand? You think I don't know every word you said, that I didn't want to flush myself down the crapper every time you winked at him or licked your fucking mouth like you were gonna let him blow you? Like it wasn't an axe in my head?"

"You fucking wish. You ain't a charity, and I'm too fucking expensive."
"All pains in the ass are pricey. Goes with the territory. You don't scare me."

A Second Chance by L. Blakes

A Second Chance by L. Blakes

Year Published: 2011

My Rating: 1 star

pages

I got this book for free from The Reading Site since I'm a member there.

Nicole was only 2 days old when she was abandoned by her mother in a motel room. She was found 2 weeks later by social services. She was in a bad condition and had to be hospitalized. Her mother had history of child neglect with Nicole's siblings.
This is her story till she was adopted by a caring family.

It was a very short report, it would not count as a book. The information was incomplete and unrealistic. I can't understand how a 2 day old could stay 2 weeks in a motel room and nobody knows about her. With no milk and the same diaper. Not too much detail and the cases of the siblings was repeated a couple of times.
I sympathized with Nicole but the book was poorly done!

I'm not planning of checking any other writings by this author.. I'm sorry!

A couple are awaiting the test results for the husband to come out.. He is stage one already.. If it develops to stage three then it's to the Farm for him.

I don't want to spoil the story but it's called Vampirism :)

This was a very short but enjoyable read. I wish it was a longer novel, I loved the idea. It was the second book I read for this author and since I'm enjoying his writing I'm gonna go look for more books by him.

The Red Church by Scott Nicholson

The Red Church by Scott Nicholson

Year Published: 2002

My Rating: 4 stars

352 pages

The author was very generous to send me this ebook, I appreciate this introduction to his fine work.

Ronnie Day is a 13 year old boy in a rural town, having some family problems between his mom and dad. And to make things worse he has to pass by the haunted Red Church every day when coming back from school with his younger brother Tim.

This church has a history dating back to the 1860's when Reverend Wendell McFall started the idea of God having a second son. He was hung by the people of the town on a Dogwood tree outside the Church.
It is rumored that he is still haunting the Church.

Now, a new Reverend is in town. He bought the Red Church from the previous owner and wants to start preaching there.. Who is this preacher?! Non other than Archer McFall.. A decedent of the former hung preacher and preaching his same ideas. And this is not his first time in this town.

One day, when coming back from school the boys get attracted to something in the Graveyard next to the Church and discover a dying man there. They get so scared they run home but Ronnie falls and gets a broken nose.
Then more residents die in very weird unexplained deaths.. And the Church bells starts ringing.. although there is no rope!! Ronnie suspects it's the Bell Monster from the Church that is doing the killing and the ringing.

The Sheriff of the town has a past history with the Red Church when his younger brother dies there in a freak accident. He believes the Church is haunted too.. When he tells his deputy that.. she thinks he has gone insane!!

Ronnie's dad knows Archer from before, when David's wife joined with Archer years ago.. Now since he is back, Linda seems to have changed and she is joining with Archer again and becoming his devoted follower as she has been before.
It's up to David to try to save his wife and kids from Archer, because he is the only person who knows how dangerous Archer is.. And try to get the Sheriff to believe what is really happening in town to try to save it's people.

I was amazed at how great this book was.. The writing was so fluid and gripping it had me agitated when I had to leave the book and tend to my busy life! I kept wondering what will happen next.
Time flew when I was reading..  I loved the vivid details and the writing style.. The cover art is a plus too.. it just adds to the flavor of the book.
This author is a favorite author for me now!! I will check out his other books soon.

As for why I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 well that is because of the Christian theme of the book..  It's more Christian fiction than just ordinary fiction and I don't really enjoy those undertones since I'm not a Christian myself.. but that is personal, you might enjoy that.

This is definitely a recommended book for horror fans!!

BTW, the author's website is a treat.. I totally enjoyed it.

Afraid by Jack Kilborn (J.A. Konrath)

Series: Afraid #1

Year Published: 2008

My Rating: 5 stars

384 pages

I read this book back to back with this author's other book Trapped.. Now I know I need a break! Either I will become mentally instable or turn in to a serial killer!
I meant that as a compliment. I LOVED this book!

Safe Haven was a safe haven for it's 907 residents. Unfortunately for them a helicopter crashes in the woods who has 5 members of a Red-Ops team.. who are a team created my the military to be dropped behind enemy lines.. their main objective is to Isolate, Terrorize and Annihilate. They are Hannibal Lector incarnate with Rambo training! OUCH!

Now these 5 Red-Ops are roaming the town doing exactly what they do best. With a lot of violence and gore!

It's up to an aging sheriff, a single mom and a firefighter to try to make sense of it all and to save their town or actually what's left of it.
When phones and cell networks begin failing, in addition to the power failure in the whole town and the road block that blocks them from leaving town, they start wondering.. what if these monsters didn't come here by accident. Maybe there is a reason behind that. Is it possible to save this town?! Or at least save themselves..
With a few twists and turns and some surprises that are just perfect.. The story flows..

It was an amazingly fast read, it was so hard to put the book down, I really wanted to know what happens and why these people were even there.. If you could even call them people!

This author has been pushed to the top of my favorite author list. Wonderful story flow and wonderful writing!! I love his style :)

Recommended for those who like horror with gory violent scenes :) I usually don't like horror movies but horror novels are ok!

Trapped by Jack Kilborn (J.A. Konrath)

Trapped by Jack Kilborn (J.A. Konrath)



Series: Afraid #2

Year Published: 2010


My Rating: 5 stars


322 pages



I bought this book from Amazon when it was on offer for $.99 for the kindle edition a while back. 

First of all I would like to say that their are 2 versions of this book and they are both included in this ebook version. 
One is the edited/published edition and the other is the original/uncut version. 

The differences between them are very important in my opinion, because what was left out in the original is what I was objecting on in the edited version. 
The uncut was more original and believable. I loved it to pieces. 
I just wish that the author will not listen to his editors and go on and publish his books as he writes them, because the original was amazing!!! 

The story.. 
Six wayward teenagers and their court-appointed guardians Martin and Sara Randhurst went on a camping trip to an isolated island. Then when they were all around the campfire, Martin decided to tell a campfire story.. a SCARY one. A story that ends with Martin being dragged into the woods.. It was okay until Martin was dragged into the woods and didn't come back. Then Sara thought to go look after him with one of the kids.. When they didn't come back it started to get serious. 

You will find that there are definitely things worse than death. When torture and pain is so horrific that they wish that life would just simply end so that the pain will just stop. 
A mixture of cannibals, a crazy doctor and some evil subjects make a great mix in this story.. 
Full of surprises and flashbacks into each characters background to give you a feel for all the characters and to make you understand what they are doing and why. 

This is the most disturbing book I have ever read. It really made me queasy.. It was that believable!! 

SPOILERS: 
PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU DID NOT READ THE BOOK 

What was bothering me most about the edited version was that Martin and Sara had a infant baby with them on the trip. And it was really distracting because I kept thinking how come the baby is always sleeping and doesn't need to feed or be changed?! And when he does wake up he is all cheerful and happy?! All this while his mom is running around the woods with cannibals and phycos trying to kill them. 
The next point that bothered me was the ending with Lester trying to catch them on the small boat. That was so cliche' that it bothered me.. 
The uncut version was just perfect.. If I didn't read it I would have given the edited edition a 4 out of 5 stars just because of baby Jack. And I was feeling guilty of that rating because everything about the book was perfect, the details, the backstory, the writing, the style.. except for baby Jack! 
I'm so happy that the original the writer wrote was perfect!! 
I also enjoyed the backstory of Sara and the reason for her phobia of the dark, it was more believable. 
Also having the chinese trying to get ahold of the serum that the doctor is enhancing is a much better idea that the military trying to do it. 
So in the end I would highly recommend the uncut original version. The story just makes more sense. I'm not saying the edited version is no good.. they are both good, actually more that good they are great.. it's just the points I was referring to that were bothering me.

I got this book from NetGalley as an ARC by Carina Press 

Fiona caught her fiance with her sister in her bed, she was devastated. Now, its 1 year after the incident and Fiona is invited to their engagement party. 
Her mother is very pushy and always berates Fiona for not being as perfect as her sister. 

Michael is Fiona's best friend and occasional lover. He is a hot photographer and a ladies man. So after having been crushed by her fiance she doesn't want to risk her heart again. 

Now for the party she plans on taking Michael as her boyfriend, just so she doesn't get any pity stares from everyone and to show she has done well. But to get him to go she plans on giving him his favorite bottle. Michael has other plans. He agrees on condition that she spends the weekend with him catching up where they left off. Since secretly Michael has eyes only for Fiona. 

Sexual tension is at it's peak and they spend a very nice weekend together. 
And of course the bitch Lizzy gets what she deserves at her party!!! 

I totally enjoyed this book although it was kinda expected and reminded me of a movie I saw before which I totally loved and is one of my favorite movies of all time - The Wedding Date. 

The writing style was nice and the build up was great. Recommended as a light romantic read.
