Folsom (End of Men #1) by Tarryn Fisher

The nation as we know it is a thing of the past.

With the male species on the verge of extinction, a society called the End Men is formed to save the world. Folsom Donahue is one of twelve men whose sole purpose is to repopulate the Regions. The endless days spent having sex with strangers leaves Folsom with an emptiness no amount of women, money, or status can fill.

Until Gwen.

Gwen has wanted a child for as long as she can remember, but when she finally gets a chance to have her own, she uncovers a long hidden truth. The injustice she sees moves her to help save the men whom no one else believes need saving.

A forbidden love, grown in a time of despair, ignites a revolution.

Folsom and Gwen, torn between their love for each other and their sense of duty, must make a choice. But some will stop at nothing to destroy them.

Folsom is book one of the End of Men series.

----------------------------------------------------------

A really well written book, withan unusual plot that hooks you in from the very start.

I loved Folsom and Gwen, they were perfect for each other. Gwen was a strong woman in a world were women rules but at the same time they are ruled by their world problems.

I didn´t liked the end of this book because I understand that the next book its about Jackal and this one wasn´t over yet, so how can the authors change the main characters when Folsom and Gwen´s story isn´t over yet? And this one finishes in a great, the biggest cliff hanger ever. Can I hate you more Tarryn and Willow?

I also hated how Gwen´s sister was there in the helicopter scene. She felt like a third wheel, like she was there only and exclusively to be in their way to freedom. And SURPRISE, that´s what she did. She was so unnecessary that I can´t even remember her name.

Did I said how much I hate you Tarryn and Willow?

I can barely wait for their story to keep going.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Um livro muito bem escrito, com um enredo incomum que te prende desde o início.

Eu amei Folsom e Gwen, eles eram perfeitos um para o outro. Gwen é uma mulher forte em um mundo onde as mulheres mandam, mas ao mesmo tempo eram governadas pelos problemas que imperam em seu mundo.

Eu não gostei do final deste livro porque eu entendo que o próximo livro é sobre Jackal e este ainda não acabou, então como as autoras podem mudar os personagens principais quando a história de Folsom e Gwen ainda não acabou?? E este termina em um grande, o maior de todos os cliffhangers de todos os tempos. Posso te odiar mais Tarryn e Willow?

Eu também odiei como a irmã de Gwen estava lá na cena do helicóptero. Ela parecia mais como se estivesse segurando vela em um encontro, como se ela estivesse lá única e exclusivamente para atrapalhar o caminho deles para a liberdade. E SURPRESA, foi exatamente isso que ela fez. Ela era tão desnecessária que nem consigo lembrar o nome dela.

Eu disse o quanto eu te odeio Tarryn e Willow?


Eu mal posso esperar pelo resto da história deles.

Tossed Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds

I was given an ARC in exchange of an honest review.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Libby Reed is over it. Or that’s what she tells herself. She’s lusted after one of New York’s bravest for years, but firefighter Antonio Moretti has doused her interest for the last time. As much as she wants the arrogant jerk (in a bad, bad way), they can’t even be in the same room without setting each other off…which might be a problem now that she’s volunteered to help out in his family’s restaurant.

Antonio’s been burned before. Now he knows better than to trust a pretty face and follow another pair of long, beautiful legs into heartbreak. But while Libby might rub him the wrong way, he can’t deny the heat between them. And it only burns hotter when she steps up in his time of need. The closer they get, the more he realizes he may have misjudged her. Then again, he doesn’t know the secret Libby’s keeping that could send their relationship up in flames before it’s even begun. 

----------------------------------------------------------------

I love Aurora´s books. All of them. And this one was no different.

It was a sweet book. I loved Libby and Antonio, they complete each other perfectly. 

He was the sour to her sweetness.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Eu amo os livros da Aurora. Todos eles. E este não foi diferente.

Foi um livro doce. Eu amei a Libby e o Antônio, eles se completam perfeitamente.


Ele era o azedinho pra doçura dela.

Hard Sell by Lauren Layne

I was given an ARC in exchange of an honest review

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Twenty-eight and filthy rich, Matt Cannon is the youngest broker on Wall Street. He may be a “boy wonder,” but he’s every inch a man. Ask any woman—any night. But when Matt’s latest fling makes scandalous headlines, his clients get anxious, and his bosses at Wolfe Investments level an ultimatum: keep his assets zipped, get a “real” girlfriend, and clean up his act. Only one woman can help Matt with something this hard.

For PR genius Sabrina Cross, the best fixer in Manhattan, playing Matt’s steady is going to be a challenge, even if it’s just for show. They already have an explosive history, she can’t stand the cocky party boy, and worse—she can’t stop thinking about him. So who’ll dare to break her “no touching” rule first? Because when that happens, Matt and Sabrina’s game of let’s pretend will get so hot it could set both their reputations on fire.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I liked this book very much.

Matt is a very successfull broker with a penchant to get in trouble.

And Sabrina is a sassy woman, full of life who doesn´t let her feelings for Matt get in the way of what she wants. She was a firecracker and was always saving him from his own stupidity.

We could say he was the damsel in distress and she kept saving him. Hilarious.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Eu gostei muito deste livro.

Matt é um corretor muito bem sucedido com uma propensão para entrar em apuros.

E Sabrina é uma mulher atrevida, cheia de vida, que não deixa que seus sentimentos por Matt ficar no caminho do que ela quer. Ela era explosiva e estava sempre o salvando de sua própria estupidez.


Poderíamos dizer que ele era a donzela em perigo e ela continuava salvando-o. Hilário.

Wicked Design by Tina Donahue

I was given an ARC in exchange of an honest review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Clover wants Van Gogh. Bad. He’s the hottest ink artist at Wicked Brand and makes her blood race. Trouble is, he hasn’t noticed her. She’s determined to change that. Starting with letting him get under her skin—literally. But then the tattoo consultation goes a little deeper than expected.

In a night of wicked hot fun, she brings out his sexy beast. Talk about a major transformation. Soon they’re sneaking into the shop after hours to play with his chair and breaking in his new handcuffs. But when their differences start to arise, she’s not sure where all this hot sex will lead...

------------------------------------------------------------------

This was a nice book. But, it was full of contraditions.

First of all, Clover was raised in a nudist colony and was super duper ok with stripping her clothes in her first date, but she was super afraid to talk to Van Gogh.

And Van Gogh, could have been a sweet guy, but he was just a whiny boy, who couldn´t stop complaining about how much he was bullied by his peers as a child and as a teen.

I know some people are bullied, and it seems to be a huge problem in american culture, but his complaining just felt like too much.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Este foi um bom livro. Mas, estava cheio de contradições.

Primeiro de tudo, Clover foi criada em uma colônia de nudistas e estava super ok em tirar suas roupas em seu primeiro encontro, mas estava com muito medo de falar com Van Gogh.

E Van Gogh, poderia ter sido um cara doce, mas ele era apenas um garoto chorão, que não conseguia parar de reclamar sobre o quanto ele era intimidado por seus colegas quando criança e como adolescente.


Eu sei que algumas pessoas são vítimas de bullying, e parece ser um grande problema na cultura americana, mas suas reclamações pareceram demais.

Seven Brothers and a Virgin by Ember Cole

I was given an ARC in exchange of an honest review.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

They say I’m Texas royalty.

Well, this princess needs a damn break. And an orgasm or ten.

Which is why I’m standing on the doorstep of Broken Creek Ranch in the middle of a thunderstorm, determined to ditch my virginity before my father marries me off to one of his filthy rich business partners.

My plan? Pick one of the Maddox brothers to do the deed.

But that was before I came face to face with seven of the sexiest men I’ve ever seen.

I’m desperately attracted to each of them. Even oldest brother, Vance, who’s dead set against my plan. He says I’m too young. Too innocent.

Whatever.

Fortunately, his brothers invite me to stay and play before choosing who will take my innocence, but how can I pick? More importantly, will I even get the chance? Because there’s no way my father’s going to let me go…

Seven hot, hard men dedicated to the pleasure of one woman? Yes, please! This naughty, standalone reverse harem story has no cheating, and a HEA is guaranteed! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I can say that this book delivered what was promised, so I can´t complain about it.

It is a reverse harem story about seven brothers and a virgin girl. And there is nothing else beyond that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bem, eu posso dizer que este livro entregou o que foi prometido, então eu não posso reclamar.

É uma história de harém reverso sobre sete irmãos e uma garota virgem. E não há mais nada além disso.

Liar, Liar by Lisa Jackson

I was given an ARC in exchange of an honest review.

------------------------------------------------------------------

In death, Didi Storm is finally getting the kind of publicity that eluded her in life. Twenty years ago, the ex-beauty queen worked the Vegas strip as a celebrity impersonator, too busy trying to make it big to spare much time for her daughter, Remmi. Shortly before she leaped from a San Francisco building, Didi’s profile was rising again, thanks to a tell-all book. To Detective Dani Settler, it looks like a straightforward suicide, or perhaps a promotional stunt gone wrong. But Remmi knows the truth isn’t so simple. Because though the broken body on the sidewalk is dressed in Didi’s clothes and wig, it isn’t Didi.
 
Remmi was fifteen when she last saw her mother. Their parting came in the aftermath of a terrible night in the Mojave desert when Remmi—who’d secretly stowed away in Didi’s car en route to meet her crush, Noah Scott—instead became witness to a mysterious rendezvous. Didi handed over one of her newborn twins to a man Remmi didn’t recognize. Subsequently, Didi disappeared, as did Remmi’s other 
half-sibling. Remmi has pleaded with the authorities to find them, but there have been no clues. Yet she’s always had the sense that someone is watching her . . .
 
If the victim isn’t Didi, who is it—and what’s the connection? Remmi is shocked when Noah resurfaces. He was also in the desert that night, and now runs his own PI firm. He too believes it’s time to find out what really happened. As they and Detective Settler dig deeper, the truth about Remmi’s missing family begins to emerge . . . a story of ruthless ambition and twisted lies that someone will kill again and again to keep hidden . . .

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my second book by Lisa Jackson and I must say, I don´t know if I´ll read another one. 

As the first book I read by this author it =had great potential, it could have been a great book, but it was really boring with so many point of views. The story just didn´t evolved. I felt like I was reading the same part over and over, and was really annoying. 

Which reminded me that I just read a book with a lot of poitn of views like this one, but it well written and didn´t gave the same feeling.

So, I´m sorry but I can´t say I liked this book.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Este é o meu segundo livro da Lisa Jackson e devo dizer que eu não sei se lerei outro.

Como o primeiro livro que eu li desta autora, este tinha um grande potencial, e poderia ter sido um ótimo livro, mas ficou muito chato com tantos pontos de vista. A história simplesmente não evoluiu. Eu sentia como se estivesse lendo a mesma parte várias vezes, e era realmente irritante.

O que me lembrou que eu acabei de ler um livro com muitos pontos de vista como este, mas que não me deu o mesmo sentimento, pois a história se desenvolveu bem.


Então, sinto muito, mas não posso dizer que gostei deste livro.

Chased (Chase Brothers #3) by Lauren Dane

I was given an ARC in exchange of an honest review.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Marc must face the biggest challenge of his life-convincing Liv Davis that he means to love her forever.

Liv Davis had just about given up on her happily ever after. Burned by love more than once, she's beginning to think Mr. Right wasn't in the cards for her. Marc Chase is a confirmed bachelor and lover of women-lots of them. He's determined not to fall head over heels the way his brothers have. Until he kisses Olivia Davis and realizes head over heels may not be such a bad thing after all!

Can Liv open her scarred heart for this younger ladies man? She loves Marc more than she can begin to admit but she's terrified of being rejected again. Marc faces a challenge greater than he's ever faced before. Making a woman believe he's more than just a great bedmate-making her believe he's in it for good. In the end it will all come down to two days in a hotel and a bet. Can they both win?

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I´m a fan of Lauren Dane´s books and they are always a fun reading.

Liv and Matt´s story hits a little to close to home because as a older woman I can relate to Liv´s feelings, its always hard to not let the society expectations to influence your choices, specially in this situation where we are trained to think poorly of a woman in this situation.

Matt is a sweet guy. I just wish he existed in real life, actually I wish all the Chase men existed in real life. The world be such a better place. *insert happy sigh here*

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Eu sou fã dos livros de Lauren Dane e eles são sempre uma leitura divertida.

Eu me idntifico bastante com a história de Liv e Matt porque como uma mulher mais velha eu posso me relacionar com os sentimentos de Liv, é sempre difícil não deixar as expectativas da sociedade influenciarem suas escolhas, especialmente nessa situação em que somos treinados para pensar mal de uma mulher nesta situação.


Matt é um cara doce. Eu só queria que ele existisse na vida real, na verdade eu queria que todos os homens Chase existissem na vida real. O mundo seria um lugar tão melhor. * insira feliz suspiro aqui *
