"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us." - Marianne Williamson

We live in a world of darkness and shadows,

where monsters hide and aim to ruin.

And they did.

They ruined us and turned our dreams into nightmares.

Review

Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

How to Liv is a nice happy read, it has it's not so happy moments but it wouldn't be very entertaining if it was just happy the whole way through, right?

Liv and Joel are both interesting characters, I didn't quite like how Joel was a shy gentle guy and then in bed he was this controlling/demanding lover, that just didn't feel real to me. But that's me, other readers might love that. The story flowed well and kept me reading. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet Liv and Joel. I will definitely read more from this author.

The Mystic Wolves (Mystic Wolves #1) by Belinda Boring

The Mystic Wolves by Belinda Boring
My rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

**This is the full length novel version of Belinda's 3 novellas: Without Mercy, Cherished, and Blood Oath*

What would you do if a simple errand takes a deadly twist, turning you from cautious prey to dangerous predator?

Someone is trying to send a deadly message to Mason, arranging the deaths of those he loves and it puts the entire pack and Alpha on high alert. Darcy understands the primal instincts driving her beloved Mason's commands. With the help of those he sets as protectors, she learns about herself and the things she'll need to help support her Alpha and pack. When events turn dire however, one truth offers her strength - once given, oaths are unbreakable ... even if it means risking it all.

~Review~

Well dang... What a cliff hanger.. I only feel it is fair to warn you that Belinda Boring is not only the Queen of Swoon, She is also the Queen of Cliffhangers. This one is HUGE. Lucky for you the next 3 books are already out and waiting for your grabby little hands.
Ms Boring is very descriptive with the werewolf rituals, she makes it so easy to follow, even for newbies to the genre. I am personally werewolf obsessed, I love reading different authors ideas to how the werewolves work.
Mason is just a super swoon worthy alpha male, his love for Darcy made me smile the whole way through. Oh to be loved that much.
Once you start this book, it will catch you hook, line and sinker. There will be no putting it down.. Even when you get to that cliffy, you will go right out and start the next. I felt all the emotions the characters went through, i right there with them going through it too.

Ethan in Gold (Johnnies #3) by Amy Lane

Ethan in Gold by Amy Lane
My rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Evan Costa learned from a very early age that there was no such thing as unconditional love and that it was better to settle for what you could get instead of expecting the world to give you what you need. As Ethan, porn model for Johnnies, he gets exactly what he wants—comradeship and physical contact on trade—and he is perfectly satisfied with that. He’s sure of it.

Jonah Stevens has spent most of his adult life helping to care for his sister and trying to keep his beleaguered family from fraying at the edges. He’s had very little time to work on his confidence or his body for that matter. When Jonah meets Ethan, he doesn’t see the hurt child or the shamelessly slutty porn star. He sees a funny, sexy, confident man who—against the odds—seems to like Jonah in spite of his very ordinary, but difficult, life.

Sensing a kindred spirit and a common interest, Ethan thinks a platonic friendship with Jonah won’t violate his fair trade rules of sex and touch, but Jonah has different ideas. Ethan’s pretty sure his choice of jobs has stripped away all hope of a real relationship, but Jonah wants the whole package—the sexy man, the vulnerable boy, the charming companion who works so hard to make other people happy. Jonah wants to prove that underneath the damage Ethan has lived with all his life, he’s still gold with promise and the ability to love.

~Review~

Another fabulous Amy Lane book. More adorable, broken guys who steal a little corner of your heart. Since we have met Ethan in the previous books we know he seems to crave hugs and touch. Well this is his story and we get to understand where that all stems from.
Jonah is a more stable character compared to all the other Johnnies characters, even though he has had a tough life those issues haven't a broken him, if anything they have made him stronger. I hope we get more from the Johnnies. Maybe it's time Bobby or even John gets a book.

“... I mean, I'm not going to spare your feelings, Dad - I wanted to be his frickin' chocolate bunny today, but, really he popped a couple of jelly beans and said, 'This isn't right' and walked away. I mean, I think he was starving for chocolate bunny - but he walked away. Who does that?” ~ Jonah.

Dex in Blue (Johnnies #2) by Amy Lane

Dex in Blue by Amy Lane
My rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Ten years ago David Worral had plans to go to college and the potential for a beautiful future in front of him. One tragic accident later, he fled to California and reinvented himself as Dex, top porn model of Johnnies.

Dex’s life is a tangled mess now, but the guys he works with only see the man who makes them believe even porn stars can lead normal lives. When Kane, one of Dex’s coworkers, gets kicked out of his house, the least Dex can do is give him a place to stay. Kane may be a hyperactive muscle-bound psycho, but he’s also a really nice guy. What could be the harm?

Except nothing is simple—not sex, not love, and not the goofy kid with the big dick and bigger heart who moves his life into Dex’s guest room. When they start negotiating fractured pasts and broken friends, Dex wonders if Kane’s honest nature can untangle the sadness that stalled his once-promising future. With Kane by his side, Dex just might be able to reclaim the boy he once was—and if he can do that, he can give Kane the home and the family he deserves.

~ Review ~

Ms Lane, you do realise that is mean. To do that at the end. It's a good job I love your characters enough to forgive you. ;)
The opening scene of this book was sad, I started crying at 4%. The previous book Chase in Shadow was a painful book to read, I became so emotionally involved in Chase's story, I need led breaks while reading it. When I started crying at 4% in this one I thought it was going to be another tough one. Thankfully it wasn't as hard as Chase. It was a little easier on the heart, it still had pain and angst, I have come to learn that it isn't an Amy Lane book if it doesn't have Pain and Angst.
Dex was a lovely character, he was a fixer. But a fixer can never fix themselves.. That's where Kane came in, he may be simple and a bossy too but he could be what Dex needed, if they would both realise.
