This was much better than the second one which IMO was all over the place. I connected more to them has a couple and also was more into the story.I must say i loved that some of their problems got resolved in a some what decent fashion and i really hope that everything is much better for then in their fictional future. I felt that some things were too much , Explanations weren't enough and things were important were bypassed is the reason that this book didn't get a 5 star rating from me . Even though it was better than the second book , i still felt this wasn't the best the author could do . She started the series on a high note and then it just went down , and my exceptions i guess were a little too high . It was good and i enjoyed myself but i probably wont be keeping this book couple or this in my head has it just wasn't memorable .
I enjoyed Damien and Nikki , i just didn't love them , i would however loved to read a next book by this author has i feel she is very talented and with the right team pushing her could reach very far . Thanks for giving me the chance to read this book before everyone else.

Dark Desire (Touched By You, #1) by Emily Jane Trent
ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review
This book needs major editing ,{Plot needs to be tighten and the flow of the whole story needs work . The author I feel has no clear defining role of the characteristics her characters need or should particularly have . They were all over the place , romance wise and plot wise . The story needs clear lines drawn in order to develop and with his book i could not see the direction it was going in . Instead of the plot being drawn out , i felt this would have been better as a full length novel instead of a novella . All these novellas make no sense to me and i don't really novellas on a daily , so i cannot see myself buying all 8. I would really not have that much interest in the series currently .It would have given more time for the story to develop and for me to see real growth in the characters. Wording and pacing also needs work , everything was a little too
wish washy and jumbled for me to feel anything of the story or even like the characters . I felt even though the author took inspiration from twilight , she tried to make it into a twilight look a like instead of taking the inspiration and putting a different , fun twist on it . ( Because really BDSM plot lines that have been inspired by twilight have been done by various successful author , and its always the same thing , i really need to see a new spin on it ) . I am so tired of the billionaire guy who is successful and handsome meeting the virgin , pretty girl that is so naive and innocent and she rocks his world figuratively and literally . I need MORE ! Complete substance , grit and meat is what good stories are made of and sadly this was quite lacking in almost all areas.
I can say that the author has a beautiful , passionate way with words that i admire and if she fleshes out all the mistakes in her plot and her story telling got better than i would have a vested interest in looking forward to her novels . I feel this could have been way better.
I thank the author for providing this to me as an ARC and i hope my critique helps to enhance the book in order to make it successful .Thank You Emily

Highlander Most Wanted (The Montgomerys and Armstrongs, #2) by Maya Banks
I must say i enjoyed every moment of this story. I really enjoy Maya Bank's writing and she really captures how i love that characters entwine .
Relationship are about sacrifices even if it may destroy the love , It's about love , real true love that surpasses time and hardship.
I really struggled with the contempt I felt at the McHughs , i passionately disliked and hated them . I felt so disguisted at their actions , they deserve to be gutted every men and women . They brought out all my most vicious emotions and i haven't felt that sort of contempt for charcters in the longest while ( Thumbs up to Maya Banks for getting that sort of emotion out of me ) . They were vile , vicious and plain mean and spiteful and if this was real life , they wouldn't like the outcome.
With that being said i loved the Main heroine and hero . I usually always love the hero but the heroine stole the show for me . She had so much resolve after all that has been taken from here and living with that contempt for a year . The hero really sacrificed for the hero and i thought he really cared for her as a person and not just a beautiful commodity ( which all men should learn to do )
This story really stuck with me and i thanks Miss Banks for creating this beautiful work of art .
5 Stars
P.S it made me cry , good and bad tears
completely swooon worthy . Can't wait for Teague's story

I Dream of Danger by (Ghost Ops #2) by Lisa Marie Rice
Oh Lord this draagged endlessly for me . I was not connected and i was expecting so much more from this . The author has an annoying repetitiveness where she explains various events from the initial book in almost every different POV . It simply was not needed , I understand this happening at the start of the story but during right until the end was a little too much.
2/3 of the story was unnecessary, I did not get to the good parts of the whole story or understood what the plot line the book was talking about until the last 1/3 which left me confused . I did not feel the book needed that starting , we already knew they hadn't seen each other in 10 years but was it really necessary to go over those 10 years? it would be done better in flash back form instead it was told like it had some great meaning to the story when in fact it did not .
It simply took away from the plot and left me really confused. The plot wasn't tight enough and it did not hold the series together . Also so many different POVS were completely unnecessary , only a few writers can get away with those many different Povs for me ( namely Nalini Singh ) she does multiple POVS beautifully . Sadly i feel Ms Rice will simply need to fix editing and whole lots of mistakes inorder to make this series a success. I will try and read the next book and hopefully i will enjoy it .

Tasting Never by C.M Stunich
Short Review
I had no great feelings about this book . I wasn't connected to any of the main characters . I liked the hero just not enough to make him swoon worthy . I had a big problem with the heroine , she was too whiny and self involved . I know she had issues but i just couldn't see past my dislike of her even her story was told . I'm honestly more interested in the hero's dark past because i feel he's the much stronger character of the two .
In short i will be heading to the next book now and i sincerely hope i fall head over heels with this story
