Synopsis:

She has a broken heart and revenge on her mind...

Last year Karrie was riding high. She had a boyfriend she loved, a softball scholarship, and the best roommate a girl could have. When it turned out her man was a lying, cheating ballsack, she may have gone off the rails a bit. Now, it's a new year and Karrie's ready to build herself back up and move on to bigger and better things. Still, a little revenge would go a long way in helping the healing process. He's got a plan for revenge that will suit them both... Ridge is used to being the BMOC. Sergeant of Arms of his frat and the ability to land any chick within snapping distance has made life pretty easy for him. His home life is another story. He and his brothers are in the middle of a battle between his socialite mother and asshole father. Ridge is looking for a stand-in to placate his mother and her matchmaking ways, and he has a feeling he's just met the girl he can perfectly mold. This makeover has nothing to do with love and everything to do with Karrie and Ridge using each other to get what they want. What starts as a ruse soon becomes an attraction they cannot deny. When it's all said and done, they'll both have more to confess than a need for revenge.

I Heart Books Review 

Frat House Confessions: Ridge by Bethany Lopez

Review by Theresa Esterline 

Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here's to partners in crime!

College frat house lift anyone?  This story starts off in pledge week, a Sargent at Arms needing to keep his position and his mom off his back and a scholarship athlete trying to make her ex jealous.  What better way that supporting the pledge makeover routine?  They just have a deal, right?  No feelings! And now a bit about the story...

Ridge cannot stand Crush, or his crazy pledge missions, but he decides to play along when he sees Karrie at Delta.  Karrie's boyfriend broke up with her and she hasn't tried to do anything since, until her roommate convinced her to go out, though she refused to put any effort into it.  Not wanting to lie, he's direct with Karrie and tell's her his whole plan, he'll get what he wants, she'll get what she wants, win-win.  But will they both get more than they were expecting???

Favorite passage: Bringing those feelings to light would be treading in dangerous territory.

Absolutely Mine by Terri E. Laine: 

I made a promise to stay away from my best friend’s little sister. But it’s Vegas and that’s one promise I’m probably going to break.

Honeymoon Hideaway by Cary Hart: 

What’s worse than being locked in room with a vibrating bed and your sworn enemy? Waking up next to him… naked! Did I mention he’s also my boss? Oops.

Hard Luck by K.A. Ware: 

Ellis James is my kryptonite, the only person who could drag me back to Vegas after I promised myself I was done with that life. I'd bleed for her, I'd die for her, but can I save her?

Becoming His by K.I. Lynn: 

When I slammed into Hollywood heartthrob Reid Gallagher, I never imagined it would turn into a first date I’d never forget. After all, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...right?

Going Down by Lisa Shelby: 

She’s the only person I’ve ever loved and I’m the last person she wants to see. She’d hoped to avoid me as much as possible in Vegas, but when we get stuck alone in an elevator, not even she can deny that our chemistry still runs hot.

Blind Faith by Lauren Runow:

I never expected to be locked out of my room basically naked in a total blackout. Thinking that would be the biggest shock of my night was my first mistake.

Passion Rising (Original Sin, #4)  by JA Huss & Jonathan McClain

Review by Theresa Esterline 

Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

He's cured!!!!!

They've come along way from Ford and Scarlett. Stolen and exploded cars, fires, bruised ribs, just to name a few of their adventures. And there are more to come as Tyler and Maddie head towards the new year. They details of the story flow before your eyes, pulling from your own memory blanks. I can hear the milkshake metal tumbler hitting the table, see the condensation running down the sides. And now a bit about the story...

Maddie and Tyler have survived their beach side Mexican excursion. Now they are back in Vegas and struggling with what to do next. They've been thru a lot in less than three months. Tyler still doesn't have a home and now has no car. Maddie still doesn't have a car, but doesn't want to live with Diane and Carolyn anymore. So they are crashing at Evan and Robert's until they figure it out. That should be safe, right??

Favorite passages:

- Maybe all our mistakes add up to something bigger. Maybe all the bad decisions were just good ones in disguise.

- I can’t see what they’re seeing because my hair is now all rumpled, having been man- and lady-handled, and is hanging in front of my face completely. I kind of feel like Cousin Itt from The Addams Family.

- Time to come out of the darkness and into the light.

- Because I don’t really give a shit about being “nice.” Anybody can be “nice.” I think what I want to be is... kind. Which is a different thing altogether.

- “She saved me when I thought I was past the point of saving.”

- “It’s a privilege,” I say. “I mean, that’s what commitment is.”“What?”“Showing up. Even when shit ain’t easy. Especially when shit ain’t easy.”

- I glance at the clock on the Tesla’s massive computer screen (the car itself is actually just a computer on wheels, which makes me wonder what the fuck happens if it gets hacked)

- The fact that he can be the toughest son of a bitch I have ever met and the most hard-headed infant all at the same time is just... well. It’s perfect.

Note: I was given a free copy and voluntarily chose to review this book.

Excerpt

MADDIE

It strikes me suddenly that I’m not the only one who will notice how fucking good Tyler looks now that he’s all clean-shaven and you can really see that ridiculously fortunate bone structure he has. And I’m a little embarrassed about the fact that I just got all possessive and shit. I’m about to say something to that effect, either make a joke or play it off, but before I can, Tyler grabs me around the waist, pulls me to him and whispers, “That was so fucking hot,” just as the doors to another elevator pop open.

He walks me backwards into the car and frantically pushes the “door close” button before anyone else can step in. He’s got me pressed against the mirrored glass and his hands are between my denim-covered thighs, cupping my pussy. He kisses my neck and the feel of his lips, without any rough hair to brush and scratch against mine, feels so good that I can barely stand it. I didn’t realize his kiss was so soft. The skin of his mouth feels new. Like, I was just starting to get accustomed to the way his kisses felt, and suddenly it’s a whole new experience. New, but familiar. The same way it was when I met him.

It’s how this whole moment feels. Back in the Mandarin where we were on Halloween when we found out who we are. A concept which, I realize in this moment, might be true in more ways than one. It’s been barely two months since we turned each other’s lives upside down. Except that’s not quite fair. Or accurate. Our lives were already upside down. We’ve turned them back right side up. Yeah, we disrupted each other’s worlds, but we did so in the most magnificent way. And it’s starting to feel like that disruption is going to result in a life that actually feels... settled.

I realize that life with Tyler Morgan will never be boring. That much seems incredibly evident. But life is unpredictable no matter what we do to try to put rules in place to keep it from feeling that way. At least with Tyler the unpredictability doesn’t seem scary. With him, as much as is possible, the unpredictability feels safe.

TYLER

Just like the beard was keeping me at a distance from the people I would see walking down the street, it was keeping me at a distance from her when we were alone together. It was an unrealized blockade impeding my ability to be as close to her as I want to be. There is no such impediment now, and I am engulfing myself inside her.

The feel of my cheeks nuzzled in between hers makes this moment seem so...sweet. It’s nice. I don’t know how else to describe it. It’s just kind of...pure. That’s how I feel. That’s what I think.

I also feel like one good rimming deserves another.

So, moving my head in tiny circles around her ass, just like she did to me a couple of days ago, I get off on the whining noises she makes, and I work two fingers inside her pussy to help everybody along. With my other hand I begin fisting my cock. I’m trying to go slowly so that I don’t fucking come right here all over the Mandarin’s nice carpet. I already burned down one of their condos, I don’t want to fuck up one of their suites too. New-look Tyler is considerate like that. But as slowly as I’m trying to go, she’s making it tough because of the way she’s rotating her ass and hips around.

And suddenly, I don’t want to be behind her. I mean, I love the view from here and I love the way she tastes, but I want to see her. I want to look at her face and have her look at mine. Yeah. I want her to look at me. I want her to see me.

So I pull away, flop down on my back on the bed beside her, and summon to her with my index finger to come over. She does, smiling as she mounts me. She takes my two fingers that were just inside her and puts them in her mouth. And I remember the first time I saw her do that. I told her, “You’re going to fucking kill me.” But she didn’t. She didn’t. It was exactly the opposite. She fucking saved me. And so now, with her astride me, I sit up, take her face in my hands, look her square in the eyes, and tell her, “I fucking love you.”

She closes her own eyes with a shy smile and whispers, “I fucking love you.”

Sin with Me (Original Sin #1) by J.A. Huss & Johnathan McClain 

Review by Theresa Esterline 

Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Devil in disguise...

Book one of four to be released every three weeks. There are cliffhangers in this one, but it is a short wait for the next. I love how the characters think to themselves and sometimes even out loud, often to the point of rambling, seems so realistic. They are funny and quick to the point even when dealing with awful situations. And now a bit about the story...

Tyler (aka Ford) and Maddie (aka Scarlet) are both in bad places in their lives. They are very different but at the same time, very much alike. They have a strange beginning, almost strangers with benefits. But as they start to want more everything goes crazy. Can these two strangers get to know each other or will the knowledge tear them apart.

Favorite passages:- And besides, I’m stubborn. I like to think stubbornness is my great superpower.- Do they call them strippers or dancers? Artisans of Pole Manipulation? I’m gonna call them that.

Angels Fall (Original Sin #2)  by J.A. Huss & Johnathan McClain 

Review by Theresa Esterline 

Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The fall to rock bottom...

From the penthouse high above Las Vegas to the tunnels under the Hoover dam, Tyler and Maddie are back! This review does have spoilers for book one (Sin with Me), but not this story. They start right where they left off... Tyler in his burning apartment and Maddie in Carlos car headed to the desert. The series could have ended then, with them both dead, but what fun would that be? Instead Julie and Johnathan take us on a hilarious adventure with the characters continuing to search for love, forgiveness, and understanding. There are a few surprises, both good and bad, along the way. And now a bit about the story...

Tyler is rescued by his friends at the fire station, after a three minute chat with God himself. Of course he wants to chase after Maddie, but since he flat lined for those three minutes, he's off to the hospital for a full checkup. Maddie on the other hand heads back to Pete's. She's sure her car and purse are stolen so where else is there to go? Except Carlos is there waiting and he wants his money or something... Luckily she is able to negotiate more time. Now just to decide how to spend that time. She needs $185k and has to decide what to do about Tyler now that she knows he isn't Ford.

Favorite passages:

- It’s going to be okay, the angel counters.

- It strikes me suddenly that people sigh around me a lot. Like I make the whole fucking world exhausted.

- “It ain’t Starbucks. If you don’t steam the milk, there’s a buncha other girls who’ll heat it up instead.”

- And late is always better than never.

Flesh into Fire (Original Sin #3)  by J.A. Huss & Johnathan McClain 

Review by Theresa Esterline 

Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Is she crazy...

This review does have spoilers from the previous books in the series (Sin with Me and Angels Fall), but not this story. They start right where they left off... attending funerals for Pete and Jeff (the firefighter who died looking for Pete). This story shows us the crazy/brave side of Maddie. As with the first two books there is terror, humor and hot sex scenes!! Plus educational, don't roll your eyes, many words I have to look up that are not so common in today's world. And now a bit about the story...

Pete's is gone, touched by Logan. Maddie still owes Carlos and now has no job. She won't let Tyler just pay Carlos off, so now what? She connects up with a DEA agent working undercover to bring Carlos down. Only two problems 1) Carlos is in love with Maddie and she detests him and 2) Tyler is super jealous and paranoid. Which makes for one comical story... watch how this flesh turns into fire!

Favorite passages:
- The best waterpark ride in history.
- “Not everything always happens for a reason. Sometimes things just… happen.”
- He’s unpredictable. And if unpredictability doesn’t get you killed, it makes you strong.
- “I’ll sleep when I’m dead.”
