~ ~ REVIEW ~ ~
5/5


Sigh. And here I thought it couldn't get anymore addictive than the second one. Jesus. HE'S CAPTURED MY SOUL #3 is by far my favorite and that's a hard thing to admit when I bloody loved the previous two.

Alex and Libby's relationship has grown so much!! We saw so many developments that it made it hard not to be consumed by their story. If you haven't read the previous 2 I suggest you move you bum and get into it - like right now? ;)

In Book 3 we get so many interlinking elements that tell the story from a very strong angle, it provides us with an idea of why what happens next does or why Alex said what she did when maybe she shouldn't have.. All those small elements add to make a perfect steamy romance which let me tell you, will grab you by the horns and never truly let go till you have read the last word.

Libby is strong, she always has been, so she knows how to deal with tough situation. Alex is also right up there among those alpha males who know what they want and go get it - having captured Libby's attention and heart however, has proven to only be the beginning..

Did they make a mistake moving so fast? Have they overlooked some major problems that could occur? Did they lose sight of what's is more important?

So many questions keep making their way through, and often I found myself wanting to throw the kindle at the wall because many of them go unanswered!!! GUhhh. I was so invested in their relationship right from the first book, and in this one? There is a whole new level.

TESTS.

LOVE.

LIES.

PROMISES.

DECEITS.

STRENGTH.

IMPORTANCE.

SEXY.

HOT.

FALLING.


HE'S CAPTURED MY SOUL will capture yours too! It was perfect in so many ways and it far outdone itself when it came to changing it up and twisting up the story to make it 

A D D I C T I V E!!

A HUGE thank you to Karen Frances for providing an ARC, I cannot thank you enough for creating this world! I cannot wait for more of your work, once my heart and soul slowly heel..

Misti Murphy's PRICK TEASE * *Release Blitz* *




Title: Prick Tease 
Author : Misti Murphy 
Genre : Erotic Romance 





Claire Hadley shouldn’t even be on my radar.


There are a million damn reasons why I shouldn’t touch her. 


Her brothers are my best friends. We grew up together, under the same roof.


I’m supposed to think of her like a little sister.


I won’t break my loyalty for a f*ck. 


Razer Bennington forgot me when he joined the marines. 


One kiss. Seven years. I can’t get the taste of him out of my mouth. 


I’m meant to be the good girl. A virgin. A role model. 


I’m supposed to live up to their expectations.


Screw that… 


I’m going to get what I want. 


I should be careful what I wish for. 


***
Claire Hadley was about to check the perfect fiancĂ© off her checklist. 
Until she found him underneath a hooker. 
Running home to her brother, she doesn’t expect to be rescued by Razer Bennington. 
Seven years ago he left her behind. 
But she hasn’t forgotten their last night together. Or the kiss they shared. 
Tired of living up to the expectations of others, she throws caution to the wind. 
This time she’ll get what she wants. 


Even if getting what she wants could destroy him



(Remove if not reviewing )




Misti Murphy is a sadistic b*tch who loves to emotionally torture fictional people. If she did that in real life she’d probably end up in prison or a psych ward so she prefers to create dirty talking alphas and the sexually frustrated women who fall into their beds. And if someone needs to be smacked upside the head before f*cking turns to love then that makes her very happy indeed.

She’s a huge believer in flaws making us human, and that not everyone likes bacon. She’s also addicted to chocolate and scared of the effects of the coming shortage. She swears like a f*cking trooper, and thinks that graphic smuttiness should be as real in fiction as it is in real life.


When she’s not writing she’s the perfect housewife and mother. Ha bloody ha! When she’s not writing she’s hiding in a cupboard with her kindle, scoffing chocolate, and stalking facebook.

CRAVE by BJ Harvey ***RELEASE BLITZ***




Title: Crave
Author: BJ Harvey
Genre: Erotic Suspense
Release Date: October 20, 2015



Blurb

I have a craving.

A dark urge I’ve failed to resist despite years of trying to do that very thing.

I’ve forced myself to hide behind a mask, a perfect orchestration to hide my true self.

After I met her, my wants and needs, my inner most desires changed.

She encouraged me to embrace who I truly am, and she was willing to do anything and everything I wanted, giving herself to satisfy my most carnal appetite.

Then everything in my carefully managed world came crashing down around me. A moment in time, a loss of control, and the very thing I cherish was nearly taken from me.

My fate now lies in her hands.

The very life I’ve built for myself…everything I’ve ever done now waits in purgatory, all caused by a lack of focus at a time when my most concentrated attention was needed.

The very thing I crave may now be the end of me.

                    REVIEW
                         4.5/5

I wasn't too sure what to expect from CRAVE. All I knew is that I NEEDED to read it and that it would be one of those sexy ones.. That was definitely a good enough reason for me.

Now. Delving into this book was a whole new story. Loving it would put an understatement to describe CRAVE.

ADDICTIVE.


BADASS.



SINFUL.



FILTHY GOOD.



DARK.



EMOTIONAL.



SEXY.



DEEP.

I will admit, the beginning was a little slow, only because it resembled every other sexy read. I also wasn't a huge fan Callum having to explain the type of character that he was. In my personal opinion, I'd rather would have had that be witnessed or mentioned by someone else.

BUT.

BUT was way before all hell broke lose. Everything you expect in new adult romance novel or even an erotica was met by CRAVE, but it went well beyond that. It capture something in my mind that I still can't explain what it is but all I know is that I NEED more!!

Callum was always a mystery to me. Despite having his personality being highlighted I bold, that still wasn't enough to make up my mind in the type of character that he was. Yes he slept with a lot of women. Yes those were all one night stands that almost always seem to want the more that he never so much as thinks about giving them. Yes he is sexy as hell. He even has such a sinful mind that I could not for the life of me, not want to NEED more of it. Is that bad? I mean, I was at the edge of my sit in trying to figure out what he will conjure up next..

He is a player, a well know business man who seems to have that arrogant side to him that tends to taint you once you become famous. But that wasn't in any way a bad thing.. Not until he met Lucia. The woman who messes up his mind and turns up the volume when it comes to what Callum knows..

He loses sight of who he is or who he thought he was, and ends up being swallowed up by all things Lucia. Little does he know..

CRAVE had some great elements that made it an emotional journey with very strong and tainted characters.

Callum and Lucia both have their very own stories to tell.

They both have a past which will play a role in their current and future lives.

They also have a mindset and heart that cannot seem to agree with each other.

Callum doesn't know what it is about her but he WANTS HER. He CRAVES HER unlike any other women he had before.. The only problem is, well, he isn't so sure that the life he tried so hard to master, will come crumbling down. But that really was never an option since he knew that from the moment she said her name, he was gone. His fate is in her hands and he will be damned before he lets her slip away.

Lucia hasn't stopped from having her head in the gutter from the moment she saw who Callum was. It wasn't possible for her to think straight when it came to him. No. But, should she give way to temptation despite hardly knowing anything but what the media is trying to tell us about him? She may be stubborn but will she leave all her built up walls when it comes to love, loyalty and courage? Will she let Callum in?

Giving in to temptations sounds easy enough, but not when it comes to the consequences of the unknown!

A suspenseful story full of an emotional rollercoaster that will bring you to question your own mind when it comes to how worth it love truly is.. and who do you give it to..?

CRAVE is dark, gripping, emotional, sinfully sexy and all round a fast read that will make you CRAVE more...

THANK YOU B.J. Harvey and fellow kiwi ;) for providing an ARC of this gorgeously dark story!! I think I will forever hold a special place for Callum in my heart.. he is one in a million!

Excerpt


“What was that thought?” she asks curiously.

I lift my eyes from her hand resting on the black leather seat between us to her face to see a sly smile has appeared on her lips. “What thought?”

“The one that just had dirty written all over it.” Her smile grows wide, her eyes glittering with heat and a touch of amusement at the position she’s cornered me into.

“It’s a thought that would be more suited to the end of the date, if we are following your predetermined description of a how a first date should be, that is.”

Heat overtakes amusement as the air inside the car crackles with the right type of tension, the exact type of mood I have been hoping for and dreading. Our eyes remained locked, like neither one of us is able or willing to look away from the other.

Knowing I’d need to acquiesce, I look back down to where her hand rests beside her leg and bite the bullet, reaching over and lacing my fingers with hers.

“See?” she says as I catch her smile out of the corner of my eye. “Wasn’t that hard, was it?”

“It’s like that, is it?” I say, my voice filled with humor. She leans over, turning her body toward mine and rests her mouth against my jaw, just below my ear.

“If you want something from me, Callum, you just need to ask for it or take it. I highly doubt any of the thoughts running through that very handsome, highly intelligent head of yours could put me off.” Her breath warms my skin, sending the nerve endings into overdrive. “You’re welcome to try though . . .”

Before I can attempt to put my public mask in place, I tilt my head until we are cheek to cheek. Presented with an opportunity, I follow my instincts and graze my teeth slowly against her ear lobe. “I was thinking how your hand would feel touching me again . . .”

Her breath stutters momentarily, before quickening. She pulls back, leaning her shoulder into the seat but not returning to her side. “I’m sure we can arrange to hold hands again, Callum. It’s all part of getting to know each other.”

I mimic her pose, our bodies still close but not touching, as I let out an uncharacteristic chuckle. “You’re trouble with a capital T.”

“And I’m thinking, Mr. Alexander, there’s something about my brand of trouble that you’re drawn to.”

* *BLOG TOUR* * Worth Saving by W.S. Greer running


Title: Worth Saving
Author: W.S. Greer
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Published: October 17, 2015



When we first met, we were both lost. It was written in our eyes when we first saw each other. My past haunted me, your present haunted you. I could see that you were aching, yet trying to bury the pain deep down so that no one would know, but it was there. I saw it. I saw you. 
I thought you needed me to swoop in and save the day; to be your hero, your knight in shining armor that would ride in and rescue you from the torment. And something inside drove me to a place I'd never been before. A place where it didn't matter how stacked the odds were, because nothing would stand between us. Nothing would stand in the way of me being the savior you needed me to be, and I'd go to hell and back to protect you. I thought you needed me, but I was wrong.
It's me who needs you. I need your heart next to mine in order to get over what I've been through, and to push through the obstacles that are in our way now. It won't be easy. It'll be the hardest thing either of us has ever had to endure, but as long as we make it through together, it'll all be worth it, because you're worth every bit of the struggle. It's because of you that I can stare death in the face and not feel the slightest hint of fear. You make it all okay. You're worth it. You’re worth saving.



“The story itself was amazing. Both Layla and Austin's story hit home for me. Layla was so brave. She fought her way out of one hell into another.” ~ My Girlfriends Nook Korner
“The characters are real and it’s easy to see their pain. Click it up friends if you want a brutal love story along with a story of survival. It’s good. Give it a chance! Everyone is worth saving.” ~ Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets
