Bowtie...'till I DIE.
Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy, likes bowties, pancakes, suspenders, good friends, good times, good drugs, and a good f*ck.
He’s worked his way out from beneath a hellish childhood and is living the life he’s always imagined for himself. When he meets a girl, a junkie on the verge of ending it all, he’s torn between his feelings for her and the crippling fear that she could be the one to end the life he loves.
Andrea ‘Dre’ Capulet is strung out and tired.
Tired of living for her next fix. Tired of doing things that make her stomach turn. Tired of looking in the mirror at the reflection of the person she’s become. Just when she decides to end it all, she meets a man who will change the course of both their lives forever.
And their deaths.
For most people, death is the end of their story.
For Preppy and Dre, it was only the beginning…
OMG these cliff hangers are going to kill me, I swear!
Thankfully, I love a good cliff hanger. Now I can’t wait for the next part of
Preppy’s story.
I have loved Preppy, and all his bowtie wearing hotness,
since I read King. I cried when he died. Then I cried at the end of Soulless
too!
This book takes us from the time King got locked up all the
way through the present.
I love him and Dre together.
Dre is a junkie, surprisingly Preppy helps her.
I don’t want to say too much because I would hate to give
anything away.
I couldn’t put this book down. I do strongly suggest that
you read them in order. You won’t be disappointed at all. Trust me!
I can’t wait for the next! This is one of my top five for
the year.
Dirty (RAW Family #2)
by Belle Aurora
BLURB
My marriage seemed perfect from the outside looking in.
People envied me. They wanted my life, wanted to be me.
Mrs Alejandra Gambino.
Wife of Dino Gambino. Daughter of Eduardo Castillo.
Respected. Loved. Mob royalty.
They had no idea of the horrors that lurked behind closed
doors.
They didn't know I was at the lowest point a person could
reach.
Enter Julius Carter.
Aloof, handsome, blue-eyed Julius Carter.
He saved me.
I screwed him over.
Now everybody was after me. My life was forfeit.
It was only a matter of time. I was a dead woman walking.
The question was, who would get to me first?
This is the second book in the Raw Family series. It seems
like I waited forever to read this, well, for it to come out. The wait is well
worth it. This is in my top five reads for the year!
Twitch absolutely destroyed me in Raw. What happened to Ana,
in Dirty, has me completely broken hearted.
But this book hasn’t left me feeling completely destroyed.
It has left me anxious for what’s coming in the third, and final book, Raw:
Rebirth. I’m also so very hopeful.
When I got to chapter four, I may have squealed a little.
Okay, maybe it was a really loud squeal that had my husband looking at me like
he needs to put me in a psychiatric hospital. White padded walls and all.
“Yippie-Kai-Yay, motherfucker.”
Julius, hmm, what to say about him. He’s deadly, that’s for
sure. But with Alejandra, or Ana, how he is with her, it’s so different than
how he normally is.
I love him!!
Alejandra is smart, and strong. She may appear weak, and she
does have her moments where she just wants it all to end. But with what Dino
and Gio did to her, I think most people would have those thoughts!
“We all come into this world kicking, screaming, and covered
in somebody else’s blood.”
“I have no goddamn problem going out the same way.”
I really hope Ana puts a bullet in Ling.
I knew Ling was nuts, but damn. This bitch is beyond nuts.
Now to try to wait patiently for the next book.
I don’t know if I can!!
Dollars (Dollar #2)
by Pepper Winters
BLURB
“I should never have asked for a night with you. This would
never have happened if I’d had more willpower.”
A thief met a possession and did what he did best.
Now, he has to live with the consequences.
Including the girl he claimed.
Pimlico was stolen and sold all before her twenty-first
birthday.
Two years with a master who almost killed her is over.
She has a new master now.
A master who demands everything, expects everything, and
requires ultimate access to her mind.
Elder broke countless rules when he took the girl who wasn’t
his.
She confuses and bewitches him, but his fascination won’t
save her from his desires.
He wants to know her.
She wants to forget.
Together…they’re doomed.
This is
the second book in the Dollars series. You MUST read Pennies first. You won’t
be disappointed. If you haven’t read Pepper Winters before, these aren’t
unicorns and happy endings, things are twisted as hell. That’s what makes me
love her books though. The writing and the story are amazing. Trust me!
This starts right where Pennies left off. Master A tried to
cut her tongue out. Elder saved her.
This book takes Pim on a journey. She’s trying to figure
Elder out, while trying to figure out if she’s still Pim, or if she can go back
to being Tasmin. Or is she someone else all together? She is actually given
choices to make from Elder.
Elder is complicated and still mysterious. What happened to
his family? What demon is he trying to hide? We do get bits and pieces, but not
enough to make a solid guess yet. I have some ideas, but with how Pepper
Winters will twist a story, there is no telling if I’m right or wrong about it.
I’m usually wrong when it comes to her books.
There is chemistry between these two. But is it healthy or
is it toxic? Only time will tell.
The ending!! Ugh! I don’t know if I can wait until Hundreds
comes out to see what happens next. I may just have to pull a Misery moment and
find out that way.
If you decide to read this series, which you totally should.
Remember that this is a dark read. There are no rainbows and butterflies. Don’t
say you haven’t been warned.
Split
by J.B. Salsbury
BLURB
JB Salsbury is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author who has captivated readers around the world. Her unforgettable new novel
is a story of romance and suspense, with a twist no one will see coming . . .
What do you do when you wake up with no memory of what you
did last night?
Lucas spent the first half of his life protecting himself
from others, but now his own mind is his biggest enemy. He doesn't know what
happens when the blackouts overtake him, but he can recall the feelings--the
rage, the confusion, the fear. Thankfully the quiet life he's found in Payson,
Arizona has kept the darkness at bay. Until his boss's estranged daughter shows
up in town, asking questions she shouldn't and sparking a desire Lucas can't
control. Getting close to Shyann is the best thing that's ever happened to him,
but when his blackouts return, unleashing the truth he's battled so long to hide,
he may just lose her forever . . .
I
honestly don’t even know where to start with this review. I would absolutely
hate to spoil anything for anyone.
I freakin’ loved reading this. I was questioning so many
things.
Did he or didn’t he?
Is he maybe?
Who?
Why??
Lucas is such a quiet guy. Before we knew for sure about the
split, and the reason for it, we knew he had been through hell. A hell no kid
should ever go through.
Gage is the complete opposite of Lucas. He is a fierce
protector. He will protect Lucas at all costs. From everyone.
Shyann suppresses all emotions, well, tries to at least. She
isn’t cold and heartless. She’s suffered a great loss, but she has a huge
heart.
She’s understanding. She’s a fighter. She’s caring.
She’s done running.
I love these 2/3 together. It’s not easy for them at first.
There’s a lot to deal with. Shyann is the perfect woman for them though.
This is a great read!
I received this book via Netgalley.
