Luca

"The stars seemed trivial and unimpressive next to this beautiful boy, who held my heart in the palm of his hands."



This is my first book by Nikki Summers. I didn't know what to expect, but WOW. While I love a good romance, a good romantic comedy, and a good book full of angst, I have a special place for some romantic suspense. I love to read about love between two people, but also feel uncomfortable because I'm not sure what's going to happen next. 

First of all, Chole was AMAZING. Talk about a real bad ass. I immediately loved her, and I never stopped. She made sure everyone around her knew she was capable of making her own decisions and doing whatever she wanted. She was the definition of an independent woman. Seriously, she was fantastic. I LOVE a good bad ass female character that doesn't let anyone walk all over her. 

I'd spent a life time living in the dark with my demons. 

So, can we talk about Luca? What a great leading man. I love it when they are all brooding and stand offish. He acted like a real ass, but it was obvious to everyone, but Chole that he loved her. He did absolutely anything and everything he could to protect her, and that love for her ran deep. The way he wanted to protect her, even when she insisted on not being protected was swoon worthy. 

"I swear to God, you annihilate my senses. I'm addicted to you, Chloe." 

Those steamy scenes were about to melt the freaking pages. Holy cow. Nikki sure knows how to write some hot hot scenes. These two had some chemistry brewing since they were kids, so I think that made it all even steamier. 

Overall, this book is getting a good solid 5 STARS. I give credit when credit is due, and Nikki did a top notch job on this book. It kept me on the edge of the seat, had me fanning myself while I was reading, and cheering for Chloe in all her bad ass-ness. (That's a word I just made up for her. lol) This might have been my first book by Nikki, but it definitely won't be my last. 

"The Ice King has found his hot, smoldering queen to thaw his frozen heart."

My Top Series/Duets of 2019

I had to make a whole blog post dedicated to the fantastic Series/Duets that I read this year. I'm not going to lie, I usually try to stay away from a book that has more than one read because I don't want to be committed to a series and then have to wait for the next piece to come out. These authors drew me in this year, they put out some fantastic work, and I actually didn't mind waiting, I anticipated it. They deserved a whole blog post dedicated to the fantastic work they put out this year! And if you love a good duet, or you love a good series, these are definitely the way to go! And I should also note, every one of these is fully released now, so you won't even have to wait like I did!  Just like my last post of my favorite reads of the year, these are in no particular order.  Brayshaw High Series by Meagan Brandy White Monarch Series by Jessica Hawkins Landon & Shay by Brittainy C. Cherry Hand Over My Heart Duet by Lindsey Iler  Pierced He...

Violent Delights

I have had a pretty crap day, but this book was really good, and there was a point in my day when the house when quiet, the baby was sleeping, and I wanted to take my mind off of things so I picked this book back up and started reading. I finished it pretty quickly, because it had me on the edge of my seat!  "For those who are deserving, I ask before I take. I feed those who feed me. I can't control how others interpret things, but I give honesty where I get it. You'll find me dead before you find me a liar." "In the de la Rosa family, old grudges run deeper than loyalty, and betrayal is the three-letter word: war. But this feud isn't between enemies. It's between brothers. And I'm the prize. I was born a princess among criminals. An untouchable among thieves. Heiress to a life others have killed for, and one I'm prepared to trade for my freedom. I vowed not to leave without Diego, my first love and best friend, but if his ruthless broth...
