Life outside of her house was a new experience for Della Sloane. The dark secrets of her past weren’t something she ever intended to share with anyone. They would never understand. No one would ever get close enough to find out. There was always a chance she’d go crazy sooner than they expected… Woods Kerrington had never been one to be attracted to fragile females. They seemed like too much work. He wasn’t in it for the work just the pleasure. A night full of naughty fun had been exactly what was on his mind when he’d laid eyes on the hot little number that didn’t know how to pump gas and needed some help. What he didn’t know was she was as fragile as they came.
The carefree girl who spoke her mind and didn’t care what the world thought of her was more breakable than he could ever imagine…





Abbi Glines was born in Birmingham, Alabama. She grew up in the small town of Sumiton, Alabama where she left the summer she turned eighteen. She didn’t get far… she chased her high school sweetheart down to the coast and she’s been there ever since. 
Abbi GlinesAbbi now lives in the quaint southern town of Fairhope, Alabama with her three children and husband Keith (the high school sweetheart she chased after). Her life is never dull and Keith always makes sure there is another “experience” for them to explore.

Twisted Perfection is one sexy, chemistry-filled hot romance!



Once upon a time,  I read an amazing book called Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines, I loved it and was swept away in the angst and heartache of two people finding each other, and overcoming obstacles to get to a good place in their relationship. In that book we met the sexy, but semi-mysterious, secondary character; Woods Kerrington. Woods runs the family golf course club business. He's professional, comes off as strong, but has a soft spot that we saw in the first two installments of the Too Far series, he was really a great secondary character in the second book in the Too Far series so much so that he was able to twist off and get his own series in Perfection.


In this book we get two people one broken, battered, and basically damsel in distress at times, in the form of a beauty named Della Sloan. Della and Wood's life crossed paths the first time and fireworks exploded, so much so, I could see and hear them ;)
Della's background was less then stellar. She had to deal with a mother who was mentally disabled and led a very, very sheltered life. Della's mom passes away and Della at nineteen needs to experience life, and get away from everything she's ever known. She pulls up to a gas station and has no clue how to even pump gas, but lucky for her Woods, the always helpful, especially to the ladies, hero is there to lend a hand. Immediately they have an undeniable energy that you can practically feel, right off the pages. That my friends, is what sets Abbie's writing apart from other writers. She's one of the queens of knowing how to write sexually-charged scenes, and believe me there are plenty in this book!


So, our two main character's meet and wind up in between the sheets, a one night stand that they both have a hard time forgetting. They go there separate ways and think they'll never see each other again. But, of course fate, (yes, I do believe in it) crosses their path and they find it really hard to resist one another, even though Woods has obligations to fulfill within his family business, and his parents have a marriage in the works for Woods. A marriage that does not bode well with Woods. He doesn't love this girl his parents are pushing him too, no his heart lies in Della's hand, but his parents are none to thrilled with Woods and force him into making a decision that may force him to lose everything.


Of course a book this emotionally charged, and full of heat and passion has major heat factor, but that is not all it has, it's a great love story, that deals with two people from two different sides of the track coming together.
Your heart will race, you'll sweat, and groan right along with the player's in this book, and you will walk away with a huge smile across your face. Abbi does not disappoint us in this book, she continues to set the bar high for passionate, heat-filled books.  
I'm looking forward to the next book in the series and cannot wait to continue with this series!


5/5


"You are mine. Do you hear me? You are mine, Della Sloane. I will take care of you. Nothing is taking you away from me. Nothing."





“Is she forever for you then? She's worth throwing it all away?"

"She's it. No one else. She's all I'm ever going to want.”

the healersTHE HEALERS
By Lynsie Buchanan

Goodreads
Amazon




During the reign of the Greek Gods, there was Asclepius, the God of Healing. Upon his death two groups battled, the Healers and the Hunters. Healers, those with true healing magic, scattered among the continents for safety from the Hunters. Now, in present day, the Healers are searching to find all of their blood line. The Hunters are searching, too.

Magic flows from Layna’s hands, but trusting anyone with her secret is not possible. Leo, her longtime friend, is determined to become more and Layna believes she wants that. Everything changes when she meets Alexander, the guard supposedly sent for her. There is something that draws them together, but is it real? Faced with a new reality of what her magic means and threats on her life, Layna must choose where her loyalties lie. Who is out to hurt her and who can she trust









I peeked out the side window and just as he said, there were two police officers and Alexander. I walked over to the door with my gun still in hand. That’s when I remembered to disengage the alarm. A question popped out of my thoughts again. Why didn’t the alarm go off? Not that it had helped much in this situation. I felt relief at seeing the police and began to open the door. My eyes immediately went to Alexander.
Tall, dark and handsome. Oh lord…Is this really what I succumbed to? He was wearing long pants that looked like loungewear and a white tee shirt. And that incredible buzz I had gotten the first time I saw him seemed to kick into full effect again. Great to know it was him that caused my insides to flutter. His eyes seemed to look me over in a protective way. I didn’t need his protection and I stood a little taller to exert my independence. Well, that was the impression I tried to give. I did feel a little overwhelmed as I stared into those deep and dark dravite shaded tourmaline eyes of his. So overwhelmed, in fact, that I started to feel little prickles in my chest and noticed that my emotions were promptly being displayed since I lacked a bra.
Nice. It did not go without notice either as all the men’s eyes looked up into my face. I felt the color rise in my cheeks and then one of the officers spoke. Or rather shouted, “Drop the weapon!” as he pointed his gun at me. What? Oh, right. There was a gun in my hand.







I’m a red headed Texan girl that writes adult romance novels. After spending way too much money on getting degrees in education (bachelors, masters, no ph.D yet), I realized that while I loved teaching, I needed a creative outlet for my smuttiness ;) Somehow, I have struck a chaotic balance. Teacher by day…steamy romance writer by night. I daydream a lot, drink wine, gossip about juicy plots with my friends and obsessively read. Check my blog for my latest favorite reads, what I’m writing, and other crazy things I encounter. My debut novel, The Healers, hits the digital Amazon shelves on April 26 and will be on Barnes and Noble soon after.

UNTOUCHED by Melody Grace
Publication date: May 14th
Emerson Ray is trouble. Juliet knows it the minute she lays eyes on Cedar Cove’s resident bad boy. Forced to spend her summer before college in the sleepy beach town, she never expected to crash into the most devastating guy she’s ever met—or for Emerson’s blue eyes to strip through her dark secrets, and make her feel a desire she’s never known. Their connection is undeniable, but Juliet is torn. She knows, once she gives him everything, there’ll be no turning back.

Juliet McKenzie is dangerous. Emerson can tell from the way she blows through all his defences, laying bare the demons he’s carried alone all his life. He’s left a trail of broken hearts and empty beds in his wake, but Juliet is different. Her innocence is intoxicating—and the passion she keeps hidden, just below the surface. He wants to be the only one to set it free, but with every kiss, he’s closer to losing control and doing the one thing he swore he never would: fall in love.

One summer. Two damaged hearts. Their story is only just beginning…

Deeper We Fall, was an enjoyable, realistic read. We get a broken past from characters who's lives are intertwined because of one awful mistake. Lives are changed forever!Chelsea Cameron knows how to write a cast of characters, and a good storyline, that will have you invested in all of the characters and their lives.
  


Lottie and her best friend Lexi  are at a outdoor high school party. They don't really drink, but after Lexi gets attention from one of the Parker brothers, Zack. Lexi easily and quickly becomes tipsy, and Zack is all over her. Lottie comes to her friends rescue and wants to go home, but seeing as Lexi is buzzed, Lottie knows she can't drive, so Zack offers the girls a ride home, but he's buzzed too, so Lottie is adamant not to go with them and tries her best to sway Lexi from riding with a person who's been drinking. Zack's younger brother Zan offers to drive them home, but he doesn't have his license yet, but seems to be the best choice, but Lottie does the smart thing and doesn't ride with the trio. Lucky for her, it turns out to be a VERY smart decision.  An accident sends her best friend, Lexi's world upside down. She suffered a significant brain injury and will never be the same, EVER. AGAIN. As far as the boys, they both escape without serious injury, but Zan's life feels forever altered, as he is charged with driving without a license, resulting in injury he spends a year in a detention center, and Zack walks free. Of course, Lottie is guilty over letting her friend go with the brother's and she will hold onto that guilt for the rest of her life.

Flash forward two years, and we have Lottie off to college with her twin brother. Everything seems to be going good. She meets her college roomie, Katie. Katie is a somewhat spoiled princess who flaunts her love for her boyfriend, right from the start. As they unpack, Katie's boyfriend comes in and literally BLOWS Lottie away! It's Zack! The same vile guy who screwed up her friends life. Lottie is so shocked that he's in her room she can't believe he's in the same college, living in the same dorm, and going out with her roomie. She can't handle it, and when he tells her his brother is living here too, she basically can't control her feelings and runs out of the room. 

Now, that Lottie must except both brothers in school, she has to confront all of her guilty feelings all over again. Same goes for Zan. He feels sorry for what happened and has a hard time figuring out and controlling his feelings. Zan has liked Lottie for years and wants nothing more than for her to forgive him, but with all of the mixed feelings Lottie has she finds she finds it hard to deal with the brother's, especially the certifiable jerk Zack! As Zan and Lottie's friendship grows, she finds she wants to hate him, but can't. They have a tender, sweet, friendship, but with all that's happened Lottie holds on to so much anger for her bff, she takes a lot of her emotions out on Zan. Zan takes it all in and still falls more for Lottie. He's patient and kind, although with dual POV's from Lottie and Zan, we do see some inner demons in Zan's life.

Zack, is a Jerk through and through. He never feels remorse, he constantly treats his brother, and those around him very badly. He treats everyone around him like he's a king. He treats woman badly, and feels like he never does anything wrong. He never feels guilty for his actions. He is the complete opposite of Zan. Katie "loves" him, but all he shows her is hurt, and by the end you just want to kick Zack right were it counts. Seriously, he is so unlikable, you will hate him by the end.


Deeper We Fall, was a good story, that was well written and sucked you into the characters and of realistic circumstances. A story that shows many deep feelings, hurt, guilt, passion, anger, forgiveness,  and broken characters that manage to find a way to something deeper. Chelsea Cameron knows how to write a cast of characters, and a good storyline, that will have you invested in all of the characters and their lives.
