Love K & T

Louder Than Love by Jessica Topper

Image
“You've got this...this love-no, it's louder than love. It's passion and beauty built up inside you that deserves to burst out.” Widow with child and a washed up, recovering addict rock star of the 80’s is the heart of Louder Than Love. Set with New York as the pulse, this book has won me over heart and soul. Or heart and metal as the case may be.   There is just so much to say and I want to do it justice in highlighting every phase of this book and yet give nothing away. There are many lives lived within the pages of this book and what comes together in the end is nothing short of a passion for life that is Louder Than Love! Tree, or Katrina, is a grieving widow just trying to make a life. It’s been three years since the death of her husband and the pain is still fresh. The reader is taken through the tragedy of the loss told through Katrina’s memories. It really is painful to process. As a wife and mother you can empathize with her. I was in tears and w...

Undressed by Avery Aster

4 stars **** The star of this book is definitely Massimo. He's adorable, sexy, lovable... the whole package! Oh, and he's a prince... :) Such a creative and well written character. He brought a smile to my face often and was just such a likable guy. I also really, really liked Lex in this book. She is a strong, independent, hard working fashionista who goes after what she wants. She had no problem meeting Massimo face to face to battle out their business issues. And, she manages to keep him in line in the romance department too. She goes after what she wants in business and also in romance... and she wants Massimo! Who doesn't??? Massimo and Lex have amazing chemistry together. All of my favorite Erotica books are the ones that successfully combine steamy with a really good story. If the sex overtakes the story then it usually loses my interest... and this has a great story. Massimo and Lex both have very interesting back stories that are tied w...

Calculated Exposure by Holley Trent

Image
Often when writing a review my style of reviewing tends to go more toward emotion rather than a “book report” review. After finishing Calculated Exposure I am left with a sweet smile curled around my lips and a longing of more. Calculated Exposure gives you a reminder that no matter where you come from you can steer your own path and make changes. This is so not what I expected after reading the first chapter.   I found both Curt and Erica’s characters to be endearing and engaging. What began as a flirt evolved into so much more.   I think the recipe for its success is due largely to the fact that it is written much more realistically. Real life is busy and complicated. People do have jobs and family issues that can’t be instantly solved. I enjoyed the chase in Calculated Exposure as well. Curt is funny and Erica takes no crap. There was good sizzle and the supporting characters all played well and felt comfortable in the story. No awkward weird friends on the fr...
