BLURB

"For fractured souls are like magnets.
Drawn to collide into an impossible bliss…"

Labeled a ‘Cursed’ woman of Eve from birth, Maddie has endured nothing but pain and repression at the hands of The Order’s most abusive elder, Moses. Now living with her sister in The Hangmen’s secluded compound, finally, Maddie, is free. Free from the suffocating faith she no longer believes in. Free from endless years of physical and mental torment.

Just… free…

At age twenty-one, the timid and shy Maddie is content to live within the confines of her new home—safe from the outside world, safe from harm and, strangely, protected by the Hangmen’s most volatile member; the heavily pierced and tattooed, Flame.

Flame.

The man who ceaselessly watches over her with his midnight dark and searing eyes. The man who protects her with a breath-taking intensity. And the man who stirs something deep within her numbed heart.

But when circumstances conspire for Flame to need HER help, Maddie bravely risks it all for the broken man who has captivated her fragile soul.

The Hangmen’s most infamous member, Flame, is ruled by one thing—anger. Plagued by haunting demons from his past, an all-consuming rage, and isolated by an abhorrent hatred of being touched, Flame's days are filled with suffocating darkness, pierced only by a single ray of light—Maddie. The shy, beautiful woman he cannot purge from his thoughts. The woman he has an overwhelming need to possess…
... the only person who has ever been able to touch him.

Flame’s mission in life is to protect Maddie, to keep her safe. Until a trigger from his troubled past sends him spiraling into madness, trapping him in the deepest recesses of his disturbed mind.

His Hangmen brothers fear that Flame is beyond saving.

His only hope of salvation: Maddie and her healing light.


My Review

If I could give 1 millions stars, I would, but I think 5 will do

Warning: The Hades Hangmen deal with New Religious Movements, Cults and Sects, and Motorcycle Clubs

I was given an Arc for a honest review.

I LOVE Tillie Cole and her Hades Hangmen novels! I have never read anything book series that was so sexy and yet terrifying at the same time. I hope and pray that there will be other books and I recommend this series to anyone over 18 and is looking for something different and new, while also looking for some HOTT men!  I have read all three books, so I am IN LOVE with Styx, but I love Ky and Flame just as much!

Maddie and Flame are two tortured souls who have been to Hell and back. Flame can't be touched and Maddie doesn't trust anyone other her sister, Mae and Lilah. All three "Cursed Sisters" are from a secret Religious Cult where beauty is shunned and believed to tempt men into sin. These "men" are evil and take women because they are the Elders. Maddie got the worst of all the Elder's. He was a sadistic man who took pleasure in hurting Maddie physically, mentally, and emotionally. Flame was a boy that no one understood except his mother. He was also traumatized.

They meet and the flames finally go cold. Literally. Flame cannot be touched of Hell's Flames are in his veins, in his blood. Maddie is only one who can touch Flame and not get hurt by them. Together, Flame and Maddie confront their pasts and demons because they are each other only salvation. While I am still partial to Styx and Mae, Flame and Maddie's story is one is the most relatable. I might never have gone through either of their traumatizing pasts, but the bullying is something that everyone has gone through whether it is the bullied or the bully theme self. The trauma that they both go through affects their adult selves.

Tillie Cole has outdone herself again with Souls Unfractured and can't wait to see whose story is going to be next!!

Review Blitz: Undone (Unexpected, #2) by Amy Marie






SYNOPSIS:

Trent Decker’s life was turned upside down when
Alex, his longtime girlfriend, abandoned him and their newborn son. Trying to put order back in his chaotic life, he never expects to fall for his sister’s
best friend, Noelle. When another man seems to be stealing her heart, the years of holding his feelings for her inside come out. He lays it all on the line,
hoping she chooses him. Noelle’s indecisiveness and an unanticipated visit from his past, causes him to take a step back and focus on making things right for his son, but can he stay away?


Noelle Grant prides herself on her life being in
perfect order: a great job, great friends and the occasional fling to satisfy her needs. When her latest conquest, Jace, crashes into her life, she believes
he may be the one to keep for more than just a night or two. That is until Trent, her best friend’s sexy, little brother, makes his feelings known and
turns her structured world inside out. Exploring her feelings for both men adds complications and when Trent starts to pull away she believes Jace is what she needs. But is he what she wants?

Will Noelle stay with the safer choice or will she risk everything for the one
who makes her come completely undone?

My Review:

The first book Unexpected was absolutely Fabulous! It is one of my top 5 NA novels!! Undone is a Fantastic sequel!! We get to see Noel become the victim of a love triangle!! She has to decide between Trent, the single father and love interest for a long time, or Jace, a unexpected meet, a  butt photo model at Starbucks and Trent's next door neighbor! What a tough choice. Both are so sexy! But only one can win. May the odds be ever in your favor!!

This book is a dual POV from Noelle and Trent. It is quite the conversations and imaginations that these two have. One thing that Trent has on Jace is that his son is so adorable!! The thing Jace has on Trent is that Noelle doesn't know everything about him which is intriguing for he since she knows almost everything about Trent.

5 Stars!!!

This is a series that I would whole-heartingly recommend!! Such a fantastic read and it has sexy men. Who doesn't love that!!!


EXCERPT:


“You need to move back more. I can only think with my lady parts if you
are that close.”

He lets out a full blown laugh but moves back.

“We don’t just have us to think about, Trent. If we get together and
something happens it can affect my friendship with Erin, my dinners with your
family, time with Jason and your nieces and nephews. What if this doesn’t work
out?”

“Noelle, please stop with the ‘what ifs’?” His frustration is starting
to surface. “Can you honestly tell me that you would regret it more if we tried
and it didn’t work than if we didn’t see this through at all?”

“I don’t know and I think that’s what the problem is. I need to think
this through and figure all that out.” Standing up I grab my glass of wine and
empty it. “I need to go.”

He follows me towards the door but grabs me just before I reach it. “You
promise to think about it? Do that entire ‘pro and con’ list shit that you like
to do? Weigh all the options, Noe, because I have. I would rather you and I try
it out and promise to stay friends if it doesn’t than the alternative.”

“I promise to give some serious thought to this. You know I don’t do
long term and I know you don’t want the short term version so just let me
think,” I plead.

“Go on a date with me then. Just one. You gave Jace today, I deserve the
same don’t I?” He slides his hand down my arm and clasps my fingers around his.

“Okay. Call me tomorrow and we can make plans.” I agree standing as high
as my toes will allow and kiss him on the cheek. “Bye, Trent. We’ll talk
tomorrow.”

“Bye, Noe.” He opens the door and grabbing my face he places the
gentlest of kisses on my forehead.

Pulling my bag off my shoulder, I dig around for my keys. I don’t notice
that Jace is outside leaning on his car.

“You know the window is open?” He calls out pointing towards Trent’s
house.
I turn around and find the blinds pushed to the side so you can see
directly into the house.

“Listen, Jace. I know what that might have looked like but…”

“You don’t have to explain it to me, Noelle. I saw you push him away.”
He shoves off from his car and meets me in the middle of the street. “But I
also saw you two kiss and I have to say that hurt. I just don’t understand why
I feel so territorial over you. I don’t want him touching you. I should take
you inside my house and erase every touch of his.”

Looking down I feel guilty. If he only knew how he touched me earlier in
the night.

“Do you want him?” He asks bringing me out of my daze.

“I still don’t know,” I say with conviction looking up because I don’t
have a clue.

“Do you want me?”

“I don’t know that either.”

He’s the safer choice. If things don’t work out with Jace, or he is just
another notch on my long belt full of notches, there is absolutely no
collateral damage. There is no possibility of losing a friend or people that I
call family, and I’m attracted to Jace. I normally don’t feel so connected to
someone right away besides physically but there is something about him that
makes me want to know him better.

But I can’t lose Trent.

There is no denying the sexual chemistry between the two of us, and I
know that we would be explosive in the bedroom. Deep down inside I’ve always
wanted something with him but until today I didn’t realize it was there.

Two weeks ago I was speed dialing Chase for our monthly screw and today
I’m considering changing my casual sex dating life for one of two men who are
offering me more.

With a quick goodbye and a promise to call later this week, I head home
to try to rid myself of this horrendous headache that has slowly seeped its way
in. After I pop some medicine and take a bath I pour myself into bed.

The light from my phone blinks with waiting text messages.

Erin:
Lucy, you have some ‘splainin’ to do!
Sexy
Jace: Sweet dreams, sweet thing.
Trent:
Choose us.

I cry myself to sleep that night knowing that soon I’m going to have to
break someone’s heart…and it might be my own.

Review Tour: Souls (Grimnirs, #2) by Ednah Walters





SOULS






WARNING: This is CORA'S story: This book may be considered NA (new adult) because it contains some swearing, violence and sex scenes: Suitable for ages 17 and up. A Clean Version will also be available on Amazon.



Eighteen-year-old
Cora Jemison knows what it’s like to date a soul reaper. There are no Friday
night movies, no school dances, and no stolen kisses between classes. It
totally sucks! What makes it even worse, souls pop up when she least expects
it. The last one is not her fault, but it all adds up to zero quality time with
her super hot, scythe-carrying boyfriend, Echo.

Since Cora was
etched with special runes by an evil Immortal, she understands why souls are
drawn to her. She makes the best of it by helping souls find closure while Echo
escorts them to the realm of the dead. Perfect partners, until a dark soul
visits Cora in the dead of the night and Echo decides her soul-helping days are
over.

Cora can either
listen to Echo or follow her instincts. To make matters worse, other reapers
start stalking her, demanding she hand over the soul. Even her Valkyrie friends
think she’s gone too far. But something sinister is coming their way, and the
soul is the key to saving her town, her friends, and her relationship with
Echo. Can she convince Echo to see things her way before it’s too late?


Review

Cora has turned into a kick ass hero. Not sidekick, but hero. But as with all heroes there are some who can't live with that. It seems that Ednah Walter has decided to put more feels into this book then the previous 4 books in the Rune series. Now, I love this series. I might not like what Erik is up to, but nonetheless it is a ongoing story that leaves you wishing for more and hard core shipping characters!! When I signed up for this book I had no idea of what was going to happen. There has been a tragic loss for Raine, Cora's best friend. One that has devastated everyone. Anyway, Cora has been volunteering at a local hospital because of her new gift of being able to see and speak to the dead. One person in particular has Cora going nuts, rightfully so. Her boyfriend, Echo, a Grimnir, doesn't want her working with ghosts. Especially black shadow ghosts. A friend form Echo's past comes back to haunt them. Literally. He is a black ghost, but not that Cora cares. She is compassionate towards most people who don't want to kill her. I would tend to agree with that kind of motto. But nothing is ever as it seems. Especially in this series.

Promo Blast & Review: For Everly by Raine Thomas





Synopsis:
**This is a New Adult novel recommended for ages 16+.

Determined to overcome a dark and tragic past, college student Everly Wallace is only months away from earning her degree in physical therapy. She’s consumed with school, caring for her ailing grandfather, and figuring out how to pay the next bill. The last thing she wants is a relationship, but it just might be the one thing she needs.

Major League pitcher Cole Parker hasn’t fought for anything in his life. He went from a privileged upbringing to a multimillion dollar All-Star career. But when his pitching shoulder starts to give him trouble at only twenty-four years old, he faces the possibility of his injury becoming public knowledge and costing him everything.

In a desperate bid to save his career, Cole decides to hire someone to treat his injury, someone who will keep things off the record and out of the media. He finds the perfect solution in Everly. As mysterious as she is beautiful, she provides an enticing distraction from his pain. Soon, physical therapy is the last thing on his mind.

When an act of betrayal brings the truths they both fear to light, Cole will have to fight for the first time in his life…not just for his career, but for Everly’s love.

Excerpt:

“I know you’re not seeking any romantic connections right now, Everly,” Wyatt interrupted, giving Cole a quelling look. “We’re here in a strictly professional capacity.”
Now she looked more at ease. “I see. Are you seeking a consultation over Cole’s rotator cuff injury?”
Cole stiffened. He glared at Wyatt.
“I haven’t told her a thing,” Wyatt said with raised palms.
“You didn’t have to say anything,” she said with a shrug, leaning back against Rowan’s desk. Her keen gaze met Cole’s. “I noticed that you favored your left hand throughout your meal, using it to drink, eat, and bring your napkin to your mouth, but you’re a right-handed pitcher. And just now, when you moved to clear space on the couch, you stopped breathing and swallowed hard when you moved your right arm, telling me you’re hiding pain and have a reduced range of motion.”
His mouth opened over her observations. He looked again at Wyatt. His brother gave him a look that said, See?
“But how do you know it’s a rotator cuff injury?” Cole asked. Could other people see what she did? If so, he was so screwed.
“That, I’ll admit, was an educated guess based on your age and profession,” she answered. “I’ve only observed your symptoms and haven’t done any scans or tests to confirm. You’ll want to rule out bursitis, tendonitis, adhesive capsulitis, and other possible causes of your shoulder pain, of course.”
Despite what he’d seen this evening and his brother’s assurances, Cole was surprised by Everly’s quick assessment. She looked like she should be out club-hopping, not spouting medical jargon with such an intent expression on her face.
He also realized, since she knew his profession, that she had known who he was the moment she saw him. So why hadn’t she mentioned that before now? Maybe she wasn’t a fan.
“We’ve had scans done,” Wyatt said. “X-rays, an MRI—the whole load.”
He moved over to the desk. Everly stepped to the side as Wyatt reached over to retrieve the large manila envelope resting there. She hit Cole’s leg and nearly toppled onto his lap. Out of instinct, he reached out to help her maintain her balance. His hands ended up on her nicely shaped rear end.
She sprang away like a gazelle fleeing a lion. When she turned to look at him, he realized her cheeks were nearly as red as her hair. Her reaction went a long way toward putting him back on an even keel.
“I don’t bite,” he said with a grin. “Come and have a seat.”
He patted the cushion beside him. She looked at it warily, then moved her gaze to him. He patted the cushion again. Her lips moved on a whispered comment of some kind as she stepped around his legs and sat down. It was a small victory, but he felt better.
When he turned to look at her, he caught her scent, a unique fragrance that reminded him of whipped vanilla cream and frosted wildberries. She met his gaze. The combination of her nearness, her scent, and the cautious look in her lovely eyes had his whole body reacting.
Oh, this was such a bad idea.

My Review:

This was one of my favorite books ever involving a famous person. It was just a phenomenal book about how delicate and bitter one's life can be. I love For Everly because it relates to many of us who idolize famous people, but don't realize that they are just regular people like us who have different problems. For rich people, they don't understand how bad it gets for the people in poverty. But Cole Parker is about to understand.

Cole Parker is a a Major League pitcher and has a problem. His pitching arm is hurting like hell and needs a physical therapist. That is where Everly comes in. Everly is a med student who works at the Prix Fixe who just happens to have a teacher who is Cole Parker's brother. Hence Wyatt going to get Everly to help. 

Soon after they start, Cole and Everly start to develop a relationship both of them thought was not possible. But some people don't think she is worth the time of Cole. People from both of their pasts. But they could never come between a love so strong.

It is almost like a Romeo and Juliet story without the killing each other, but involves someone else trying to kill Everly. They come from two different worlds, but find love where normally there isn't any. Defiantly recommended for everyone to read. LOVE IT!
