What can I say other than this wasn't my cup of tea . The romance was very minimal and the suspense was very lacking . I felt absolute boredom . Everything was predictable and very very lacking . I feel like this story just shouldn't have been classified a romance because it really wasn't . It just had potential to be good ,really not everyone can write a good suspense thriller but if done properly I could enjoyed it a little. I can only say I liked the heroine ,everything else was basically milk water .

Be My Baby Lite (Baby Series Lite #3) by Andrea Smith
This was good ,I still loved the second book more but I really adored the strength of their love .Realistically things happen in a relationship/marriage and its really hard to pick the pieces to continue .This was portrayed in that way ultimately you just have to decide whether to love that you share and your family is worth it . The underlining depression was very well done . I understood so many of her dumb choices (Even though I wanted to strangle the hell outta her! ) I realized her depression was fueling her bad choices and I'm glad she saw that too even though it took her marriage nearly ending.
I wish some things could have been explained to me more like I wanted Amber to ger hers in badass sorta way . With how mature Tyler has gotten, a proper ass whooping would have been great. I wished the situation with Tristan and Gina would have been shown rather than told , maybe I will get that in the 3.5 (hopefully !! ) .
Otherwise this was good and I'm sad to see this series go . Has one of the more harsher persons that critiqued the original book (the first one , I could not read the others). I am very pleased to see that I enjoy the lite version. This packed enough punch to keep me interested and wasn't so packed (like the first one) to keep me interested to continue.

Baby Love Lite (Baby Series Lite #2) by Andrea Smith
ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review *.
I loooved this boook !!!!! Can I say that again .... I love love the hell outta this book . It exceeded my expectations, Tyler was puuurfect. You can tell being a mother has really changed her ,and its definitely for the better . She was a lion ,I only kinda wished she got to kick her aunt's ass . But the story got so many twist and turns . Andrea made me feel so sorry for the bad guys, I really couldn't fathom how I from despising her Aunt to actually feeling so emotionally sad for her .Cudos to you Andrea ,I really love this one (YES I know I said that like 2 times already ,Sue me I'm in love).
The relationship between the MCs were so on point ,they had their good days and their bad days.Which is what love is really all about ,they always and I mean always make up after their argument ,they don't let it fester unless it's really bad. Gina did a shitty move and my feelings for her have kinda taken a down turn . I felt she was a better person than that and I really couldn't blame Trey for being upset with Tyler .It's his brother and Gina is her best friend but I really couldn't live with the guilt of Tristan not knowing the truth. And regardless he is her family by marriage so I think she should have at least told Trey so they could have worked out a solution to help . But Gina girl ,you completely ,utterly messed up .
I must say this Arc was left on a little cliffhanger with an awesome bonus chapter which shows the psychotics of Tyler's family.It's absolutely sickening and the resolution was just IMO but I would the mother of Matthew to get hers soon.
Really this story was exactly what I needed .I thank the author for giving this ARC . You did a great job Andrea :)
I really really can't wait on 3 and 3.5 .Please Hurry !!!!

Maybe Baby Lite (Baby Series Lite, #1) by Andrea Smith
Recieved this has a beta copy to crtique
The Positive
This was so much lighter in terms of the angst and the emotions portrayed . I didn't hate the heroine like in the first copy , I could actually understand some of her emotions . Which in turn made me sympathize with how she acted. I could understand some of the decisions that she has made .
The Negative
I'm not sure of the direction of this plot , for instance is this an Erotica, Bdsm , or just plain vanilla sex ? I couldn't understand why the hero was Alpha in one moment and then just plain bleh the next . I'm really confused about that. I feel like that could be tightened , their needs to be clear ideas of the characters . that just wasn't their for me which left me feeling meh .I appreciated that the hero and the best friend didn't like each other, in so many of these books the best friend instantly loves the hero and convinces the her friend to be with him . It wasn't so in this and that was a refreshing change .
This wasn't great for me but it was still so much better than the last one . I really see the hard work the author has put in and for that I am very proud.
I hope my critique helps Andrea ! xoxo

The Art of Domination by (The Art of D/s, #2) Ella Dominguez
Wow this was some angst .I'm not the type to enjoy so much sadistic tendies and I can't understand the need for control yet [ you hotwife your sub as a dom ?? Doesn't that go against your Dom tendencies ? I was quite confused by that act really . (the hero didn't do that , his fellow doms do which doesn't make sense to me ) This is my biggest problem with these BDSM books . They all like to paint a picture and most of the pictures don't add up .
I must say the heroine was much better and I applaud her for being so strong . She went through a whole lot that I can't even process or talk about .Her whole life was a complete shit storm .
I had some problems with the hero ,his big sercret was not so big. I can understand the guilt but really the big reveal was snooze worthy for me .Atleast it was something different from the tortured hero with their very disturbing abusive pasts.He was milk water to me , he could never really [ protect his wife from the multiple threats . That was dissapointing ,he just did not come alive in this for me . That's a very sad fact!
I love Sawyer ,You rock man !! Second best character .You hold the fort and you do what you gotta do for the people you love. I'm really proud.
4 stars for this book.
Just have to finish the series ,need to know what happens next overall .
How much anguish can they take
