Freaky Friday Feature plus a Giveaway (click on the link at the bottom of this post to enter)
* Warning these books contain explicit content (including BDSM). These are definitely rated M for Mature!
Synopsis:
A Case of Mistaken Identity. . .
Young and rich, Kurt Nielsen is New York’s most eligible bachelor. Except now he can’t even bring himself to talk to a woman. How could he, after his last girlfriend took him to court? Kurt is still smarting from the injustice of it all.
Sick of his anger, his friends have bought Kurt a call girl. What could be better than a high-class hooker to cheer him up? The working girl will arrive dressed as a hotel maid, with an entire scene arranged.
Kurt has never paid for sex before and is uncomfortable with the idea, yet he agrees to meet her. But things don’t go as planned when he arrives at the hotel two hours early.
Unknown to Kurt, when the maid walks into his suite, she isn’t his call girl. Carmen is an actual hotel maid, with a host of secrets and problems of her own. Sex-starved, Carmen simply cannot resist the carnal magnetic allure of Kurt.
Although they are complete strangers, sexual need and animal chemistry overwhelms them both. They quickly discover ecstasy together, again and again and again.
But what will happen when they discover their mistake?
Purchase the entire NY Romance trilogy for Kindle
My Thoughts:
Carmen and Kurt’s worlds collide as a chance encounter brings them together. Their passion is undeniable and the two will never be the same again.
These books are definitely for lovers of erotica. You’ll love this tantalizingly dark tale. Nikki Sex’s descriptive ability will have readers reeling. You’ll fall in love with Kurt and Carmen’s passionate trysts and you will root for a HEA for these two!
The book explores the many sides of BDSM. The good, the bad and the ugly. Even through the darkest parts I couldn’t put these books down. I generally am not a huge erotica reader but I can appreciate a steamy read. These books are definitely sizzling!
Author Bio:
Nikki Sex writes adult romance and erotica.
Wondering about her name? She explains her reasons below:
“Yes, you are of course correct, that isn’t my real name. I’m a complete coward where my mother is concerned. The “OMG what would Mom think?” is still sitting right there in the back of my mind like another conscience (only an extremely prudish one!) Luckily my mother is in denial. She still thinks I was a virgin when I got married.
I am also a sucker for romance and Happy Ever After, so no matter how dark my stories get, fear not. It always all works out.”

Wicked Wednesday
Today’s pick is The Opportunist. I’ve had this book on my To-Read shelf for months and I finally read it this morning. Let me just say WOW. It is the first book in the Love Me With Lies series by Tarryn Fisher. The minute I started reading this book it pulled me in and captured my attention from start to finish. I held on to every single word.
Olivia, Olivia, Olivia jeez sometimes I wanted to scream at her for all her hare-brained ideas and other times I didn’t know whether I felt sorry for her or if I actually understood her desperation. I loved how the author switched between past and present day. It allowed you to take the journey with Caleb and Olivia in a way that made you fall in love with them. And Caleb….dear sweet Caleb, oh how I love him!
The book starts in present day. Caleb and Olivia are not speaking for some unknown reason at this point…
Caleb apparently has amnesia from an accident and doesn’t remember Olivia. She takes advantage of this opportunity to find a way back into his life…as short lived as it may be, she wants in. Guilty as she feels she can’t give him up…not again.
I really hate giving things away it’s always difficult for me to write a review without feeling like something I say will spoil it for the reader. So I will just say this…
The Opportunist is a must read! The ending! OMG! Go read this…NOW!
I am still going through a lot emotionally after reading this so I will post a more in depth review…which will likely have spoilers at a later time…here’s the goodreads synopsis:
“Olivia Kaspen has just discovered that her ex-boyfriend, Caleb Drake, has lost his memory. With an already lousy reputation for taking advantage of situations, Olivia must decide how far she is willing to go to get Caleb back. Wrestling to keep her true identity and their sordid past under wraps, Olivia’s greatest obstacle is Caleb’s wicked, new girlfriend; Leah Smith. It is a race to the finish as these two vipers engage in a vicious tug of war to possess a man who no longer remembers them. But, soon enough Olivia must face the consequences of her lies, and in the process discover that sometimes love falls short of redemption.”

Twisted Tuesday
A few months ago I read a rather disturbing book. I can’t adequately put into words how I felt reading this book but I knew it was pretty twisted. What book am I talking about you ask? None other than…
Captive in the Dark by C.J. Roberts…This book was all kinds of messed up. I loved it, I hated it, I loved it again and I hated myself for loving it! I have to say it was one of the best books I’ve read this year. There are few books that ignite an emotional or physical reaction for me. This one did it and made me question my own judgement. When a book can do that, twisted as it is, it is truly incredible. I recommend the entire Dark Duet series but definitely check this one out!
Check out my goodreads review here
The book is currently available on amazon (Kindle version) for $0.99
Purchase your copy on Kindle or Paperback

Forever Too Far Book Review
OK guys and gals. I finally read Forever Too Far last night and let me just say OMG.
When I say I loved this book…I freaking loved it! Rush…sigh…he’s so dreamy ℓσℓ.
This book was absolute perfection! This is a must read! In fact, if you haven’t read the series you NEED to read ALL 3 books…like right now!
Without giving too much away I definitely smell a Grant book in the works…let’s hope it’s soon!
Excuse me while I continue to swoon. I will resume this review at a later time…just kidding.
The book begins where we leave off in Never Too Far, we finally get to know the elusive Dean Finlay a little better. Of course Rush and Blaire have their ups and downs mostly because of his psychotic temper tantrum throwing sister Nan! More on her later.
We also meet Harlow who I won’t share many details about to avoid giving too much away. Just know that I am dreaming of the next book where Harlow has an integral role…in my head this is already happening…Abbi Glines don’t crush my hopes and dreams ℓσℓ
Back to Rush and Blaire. They have their ups and downs but they are so deeply connected. Their love is so impenetrable that I couldn’t help but shed a tear..or two…or four ok whatever don’t judge me I cried like a baby because, well, you know what, here’s a quote from the book but that’s all I will give away. You all are going to have to grab your own copy if you want to know what happens next!
“Blaire,
This was my grandmother’s. My father’s mother. She came to visit me before she passed away. I have fond memories of her visits and when she passed on she left this ring to me. In her will I was told to give it to the woman who completes me. She said it was given to her by my grandfather who passed away when my dad was just a baby but that she’d never loved another the way she’d loved him. He was her heart. You are mine.
This is your something old.
I love you,
Rush”
Excerpt From: Glines, Abbi. “Forever Too Far.”
Jeez if that didn’t make you tear up, swoon or sigh; If reading that didn’t make you feel something, anything at all, you’re obviously not of this earth. Kindly leave your info below so I can look into donating you to science!
Anyways, back to Nan…or not. I swear she could’ve all together disappeared and I certainly wouldn’t have missed her. She had such negative energy. She was such a toxic person throughout the book. The hardships and difficulties she faced growing up came into question but in my opinion she was way too immature and refused to acknowledge her part in her creating her own misery. I also wouldn’t be surprised if there was a book about Nan, though I wouldn’t be inclined to read it…even if she is my favorite character to hate! ℓσℓ
All in all I enjoyed this book. I loved every hot and steamy minute of it….and let’s just say there were quite a few. Even with all the drama it was well worth the read so check it out! It is also a quick read. The ending was decent but I feel like it left a little to be desired. I wouldn’t say it was a bad ending just that the book was left in such a way that if the author chose to continue she could but still sort of perfect. Sigh…who will I swoon over now?

Biblio-fession # 2
I am a YA/NA book junkie. I absolutely love everything Young Adult or New Adult! I can’t get enough. While I will likely read anything in the form of a book. I have an affinity for YA/NA. Most of the books I will review or comment on are of these genres. However, I do read Adult fiction, classics, fantasy, nonfiction, mystery, etc. so don’t be thrown off if I discuss a book from a different genre. This is the confession of a book whore…

Goodreads and Great Reads…
Aside from being a bibliophile, I’m also a Goodreads member. If you don’t know about Goodreads do me a favor and click on the link…no, don’t close this page until you finish reading every last word here…now as I was saying, I am goodreads obsessed. If you’re an avid reader, you’ll see why! Anyways…check it out.
When I first joined GRs I didn’t realize the weight of my words. I got likes on my reviews from authors and was seriously stoked. I was like, “wow they read that.” It made me rethink my sometimes unkind reviews. So with that in mind I will say this…any reviews I wrote/write are and were never intended to insult the writer. I don’t ever want someone to feel like I am discouraging them from writing, however, a writer cannot improve their writing without knowing how the reader connects with that piece of work. Negative feedback/critiques are necessary. Sometimes they’re not delivered in a way that softens the blow, but they matter as much as the good reviews. My biggest fear is publishing something I’ve written and everyone hating it, but its a risk every writer takes by putting a piece of themselves out there for the public to absorb and reflect on.
So, if I’ve ever written an unkind review or given your book an, “eh it was alright” I am sorry if I hurt your feelings but toughen up buttercup. There will be a lot worse reviews out there than mine. I will always try to be diplomatic when I write a review but if I don’t like something I will be honest. I will also try to leave everyone with my point of view without expressly spoiling the story for you as the reader.
So as my first official bibliofession I’m starting with something positive…Colleen Hoover and her amazingness!
I fell in love with her writing a few short months ago and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same. I’ve never experienced an author who could reach inside the depths of my soul! She writes with such a beautiful rawness. Her stories can be heartbreaking at times and you feel every emotion those characters feel. My first CH book was Hopeless and I was blown away! This book was need I say it…A-MAZING! This is one of the first books that ever brought me to tears. I cried, I laughed, I swooned, I cringed and it is still one of the best books I’ve ever read. I am impatiently awaiting the release of Losing Hope!
I then moved onto the Slammed series…I absolutely fell in LOVE all over again. I mean, there are writers and then there are WRITERS. What an emotional roller-coaster ride for me. I think I connected with this book on a crazy level because the characters circumstances mirrored some of my own at the time. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I have yet to read This Girl. I was impatiently awaiting the release and I am ashamed to say I have not read it yet. I even have the book, but I knew what I would get myself into the minute I started reading. I could not put myself in a position to cry all over again…not yet because for some reason only Colleen Hoover books seem to bring on the waterworks. That’s a good thing btw! When an author can bring me to tears, you my friend have outdone yourself!
If you haven’t checked her books out…YOU are insane…but seriously buy them!!! You will not be disappointed! What are you waiting for? Go buy the books…now…seriously….go!
