I HEART BOOKS REVIEW


Black Horse by Addison Kline
Review by Angela
Stars: 5 

A story to make your heart race. Love of a lifetime

This is the first book in the Breaking Black series. This is a romance, love, suspense, with a touch of mystery. Can be read as a stand alone, but I personally want more. Hurry up Addison! I recommend this book to anyone whom loves an emotional book... tears, laughter, grieving, anger, love and hate... yes a roller coaster, Addison Kline has delivered an amazing book to keep you engrossed and I could not put it down. I really enjoyed the devotion that Colton has towards Averi. The love of a lifetime. I understood their grief and their passion. Not only does this book have a strong heroine but it has a couple of yummy men. I am usually a one book boyfriend girl but dang... there is so many to choose from in this book.

This book is about Averi, a woman whom has been through hell and back. She did not have a "normal" childhood, at the age of five she seen her parents and oldest brother murdered. And yes she knew the killer, Tom “Black Horse” McClain, fortunately her two other brothers were not home that night. So now she has to deal with overprotective brothers. And there is going to be some disagreeing between these three siblings. But regardless her heart wants what it wants, and that is the son of black horse, Colton McClain. They have been inseparable since they were little and they found love in the most horrible situation. And she is done arguing over him, her brothers once considered Colt a best friend, and she is tired of them blaming him for his fathers' actions. Besides they have bigger problems, Black horse is being released from jail and Averi is on his hit list, revenge for her testimony against him. She is determined not to hide and she wants to meet him face to face. But Colt, and her brothers, Randy and Tim have other plans. Will they all come together for Averi's sake? Can they stop Black Horse?

Breaking Noah by Missy Johnson & Ashley Suzanne ~*~*~*~*~ New Release, Review & Giveaway




Title: Breaking Noah
Author: Missy Johnson & Ashley Suzanne
Publisher: Loveswept
Release Date: May 12, 2015


Synopsis


What happens when you start falling for your worst enemy? Fans of Abbi Glines and Monica Murphy will relish this addictive novel of smoking-hot seduction—and revenge gone so wrong, it’s right.

I wasn’t always this jaded. I had a clear head, things I wanted out of life, and a concise plan on how to get there. For being only twenty-one, I pretty much had it all figured out. Until the day my cousin died.

I spent months going over all the details surrounding her death, trying to figure out how I missed the signs, and the only thing I could come up with was she would still be alive if it wasn’t for one person: her professor. So I transferred to his college, enrolled in his class, and set my new plan in motion.
 
First I’ll seduce him. Then I’ll ruin him. I’ve just got to stay strong and not let his charm and my emotions get the best of me. Because someone has to pay for her death. If it’s the last thing I do, I’m going to break Noah.

I HEART BOOKS REVIEW


Breaking Noah by Missy Johnson & Ashley Suzanne
Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5 

Somethings are unbreakable ... but once she breaks him will she regret it?

I really enjoyed this story, though I haven't read a Missy Johnson book yet that I didn't love!  This one has many more laughs than tears, there is passion, hate, trust issues and love.  Oh and hate of pumpkin spice, something I totally agree with!  But back to the book, as you are reading it from both perspectives you know Zara is not totally right, but you can't put your finger on it... until the very end, don't worry Missy won't leave you hanging.  And now a bit about the story...

Zara has changed her plans and moved to Northwestern to get revenge for her cousin Karly's death.  She moves in with her boyfriend, Dillon, who was already going to school there and plots her plan.  Changing her interests from pre-law to literature she gets to work.  She will get revenge and break the man who caused all this pain.  But will she break herself in the process?

Favorite passages:
 - And the award for least stealthy stalker goes to...
 - The only thing terrible about it . . . pumpkin spice.
 - “Does anyone read that shit for fun? There aren’t even any pictures,” Lance jokes, and I roll my eyes.
 - “Teaching isn’t a grand enough profession for them. I might as well have told them I was dropping out of school to become a porn star. But I was determined to do something I loved and not go through life wondering.”

Missy Johnson

Missy Johnson is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who lives in a small town in Victoria, Australia, with her husband and her confused pets (a dog who thinks that she is a cat, a cat who thinks he is a dog . . . you get the picture). When she’s not writing, she can usually be found looking for something to read.




Ashley Suzanne

Ashley Suzanne has been writing for as long as she can remember. As a youngster, she was always creating stories and talking to her imaginary friends. Thankfully, her parents also carried this love of fiction, and helped her grow into the bestselling author she is today. When Ashley isn’t coming up with her next story, you’ll most likely find her on the couch, telling her husband all about her new book boyfriend, or spending quality time with her two gremlins . . . er, adorable children.
