The Twinsie's Top 10 reads from January 1-May 31st



Hey Peps!!  We decided to make a "Top 10 Reads so far this year".  We hope you take a look and maybe even pick up one of the books.


ANGIE J'S BOOKS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER


Bullet by Jade C. Jamison

I loved how emotional intense and raw this book was.  The book shows how addiction can ruin a relationship and person as well.  I can't hear Bruno Mars "If i was your man" without crying!!!!  This book I read in March and i am still in my hangover!!!

 

Bullet


Skin by Kylie Scott

The world of a zombie apocalypse never looked so true to life like the way Kylie portrays it.  Humans will do anything to be with others and anything to survive....like maybe buying a female with a van load of food from other people????  yup that is how this story starts!!!

Skin (Flesh, #2)

 
A Beautiful Lie by Tara Sivec

This book was an amazing plot of twist and turns and betrayals.  I thought I had it figured out and then BOOM I was wrong!!!  Tara totally kicked my expectations out of the water.........

 A Beautiful Lie (Playing With Fire, #1)


Love Realized by Melanie Codina
I loved the family dynamic in the story.  I also loved how sweet Jake in to Gillian when he finally gets his chance at his dream girl.  Jake is determined to have his chance with the love of his life.

Hyde by Lauren Stewart

2 strangers with the same common problem....a "split personality".  His is a killer and hers is a insatiable Lolita.  Can these two make it long enough to find out who is doing this to them?  I laughed my butt off while reading this book and man oh man was the sex steamy!!!  for all you Black Dagger readers.....Mitch is modeled after a certain Glowing hand Demi God!!!!!  *shows fang* also my hellren!!!

Hyde (Hyde, #1)


Keeping Secrets in Seattle by Brooke Moss

Best Friends who are in love but have a terrible "lie" that separates them....can they ever admit their feelings before HE marries the wrong girl? The intensity was off the charts thick!!!  I loved Vi because she was sooo "cool" and a type of girl I would wanna be friend with.

Diamond Girl by Andrea Smith

How in the hell do you go wrong with a bad boy biker and bored housewife turned pole dancer?  Seriously this book was amazing and the plot twists were defo something I never expected!!!

 Off Series by Sawyer Bennett
This is book 3 of the series and totally hot but the other two (Off Sides and Off Limits) are amazing in sexual chemistry as well.  Sawyer hits on all the 'flaws" of the characters and makes you love them all the more at the end of the story.

This is the 2nd book of the Playing With Fire Series by TE Sivec. Once again... Tara ROCKED my world with the twist in this book as well as the first one. Just when you THINK YOU KNOW... YOU HAVE NO IDEA =) . Kudos again to a book that kept me on edge with the who's, what's, hows and wow that was a HOT SCENE.
 
 
Falling Into You by Jasinda Wilder
 
  CLICK HERE
 
This was THE MOST emotional read of the year for me. I knew what was coming. I read the blurb but still it doesn't lessen the blow any. This book was a differnet genre for Jasinda and like most people I was unsure at first. SHE DID IT!!! SHE ROCKED IT !!! like nobody else. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down.. NOW.. if only the next book would hurry and come out...*sigh* I'm so impatient
 
Wounded by Jasinda Wilder
 
  CLICK HERE
 
So this book was NOTHING like I expected it to be. It was dark, twisted, violent and BEAUTIFUL. Yep the story within all the violence and darkness was absolutely beautiful. I loved getting lost in this book. Jasinda once again amazed me with this one . It was unlike anything else I had read of hers.
 
 
Relentless by Cassia Leo
 
  CLICK HERE
 
This is book one of the Shattered Hearts Series and HOLY CRAP ! This book was so great. I was glued to it. It was one of those I"M READING FEND FOR YOURSELF FAMILY BOOKS... I couldn't do anything but read. I was so into the lives of Claire, Adam and Chris. I mean I  literally had DREAMS of this book. It was always on my mind. This was my first book of Cassia's and definately not the last.
 
 
Pieces Of You by Cassia Leo
 
  CLICK HERE
 
After reading Relentless I CRAVED this book. Like I needed to know then what was gonna happen next... I even threated Cassia with going into labor early if she DIDNT get me this book..... as the old saying goes.... good things come to those who wait... TRUE STORY... it really did. This was the perfect book to the series. Cassia did such a good job with filling us in and keeping us enthralled with Claire, Adam, and Chris. Now if only book 3 will get here.... I may actually go into early labor if it doesn't come soon this time LOL =)
 
 
Lover At Last by JR Ward
 
     CLICK HERE
 
I waited sooooo LONG for this book. I was THRILLED to find that Qhuinn and Blay would finally get to tell their story. It was bittersweet though. Part of me liked the going back and forth for them the build up but... the other part was like YES FINALLY THEY ARE TOGETHER AT LAST !!!! There was some major controversy with this book and well for me I LOVED IT ! I thought Ward done a GREAT job in telling their story. There were a few tiny things I would have changed ( more detail in the hot sex scenes) but overall one of my fav or the ENTIRE SERIES !
 
 
Reckless by SC Stephens
 
 CLICK HERE
 
OMG.....what can I say about this book... KELLAN KYLE.... that sums it up RIGHT? I was heartbroken that this would be THE END of the series. I was praying that like many endings it wouldn't be rushed.... IT WASN"T. It was the perfect ending to a perfect love triangle. I actually fell in love with ALL the characters in this book. I was so ANTI Griffin and yes even Kiera but this book made me love them. So the actual word to sum it up was PERFECT but I still love screaming KELLAN KYLE =)
 
 
The Dom With A Safeword by Cari Silverwood, Leia Shaw, Sorcha Black
 
  CLICK HERE
 
This was the first in a series. This book had me at the first page. I was HOOKED. I had been looking at this book for a while and really wanted to read it so when we got a request on the blog I JUMPED on it. I was so excited. Then when I found out it was written by 3 authors TOGETHER. I was amazed at how well it all flowed good together. These gals done an AWESOME job.
 
 
Break Me by Jo-Anna Walker
 
   CLICK HERE
 
This book has NOT been published YET so I can't go into detail. I will say my good friend Jo really blew me away with her FIRST BOOK. I was honored to be a beta reader and so glad I got to meet these characters . This is definately a NOT TO MISS book of this year. Keep an eye out for it to be published soon
 
 
 
 
 
 
So now that you've made it to the bottom of this...... How many did you One-Click!!??  One-Click is a great, yet evil tool!!!  As long as my husband doesn't see the bank statement, it's all good!!!  Happy Reading Everyone and thanks for reading our blog!!  We had such a blast putting this together!

Real by Katy Evans


Real (Real, Raw & Ripped, #1) 

Book Blurb:
A fallen boxer.
A woman with a broken dream.
A competition…

He even makes me forget my name. One night was all it took, and I forgot everything and anything except the sexy fighter in the ring who sets my mind ablaze and my body on fire with wanting…

Remington Tate is the strongest, most confusing man I’ve ever met in my life.

He’s the star of the dangerous underground fighting circuit, and I’m drawn to him as I’ve never been drawn to anything in my life. I forget who I am, what I want, with just one look from him. When he’s near, I need to remind myself that I am strong–but he is stronger. And now it’s my job to keep his body working like a perfect machine, his taut muscles primed and ready to break the bones of his next opponents . . .

But the one he’s most threatening to, now, is me.

I want him. I want him without fear. Without reservations.

If only I knew for sure what it is that he wants from me?

REAL – April 9 2013

Book #1 of The Real, Raw & Ripped Series

Mature New Adult/Adult Contemporary Romance - recommended for ages 18 and up.



Angie J's Review:

I was given a copy of this book by my friend Jay who won 2 ebooks from the author.  I was thrilled because this was a book I have seen getting a lot of buzz and I wanted to check it out.  So a free book rocks out right!!??  OMG I need to drop down to my knees and kiss Jay.  This book was so intense and emotional.  I love love love emotional reads and Remy didn't disappoint.

This book is about a hot underground fighter who sees Brooke standing with her friend.  He literally jumps out of the ring to go talk to her.  She thinks he is a hot guy and tells him her name but her friend gives him her phone number.  She never expects to see him again but when someone shows up with expensive ring side seats she goes.  She plans on having a fun one night stand because she has never had much of a social life because of training for the Olympics.  Imagine her shock when he doesn't want her THAT way but as an employee!!????

The chemistry between the 2 is sooo thick and crazy intense.  Remy has a secret in his closet and he is afraid of her finding out.  He starts a slow seduction of Brooke.  He has had a terrible upbringing and uses music as a way to express himself.  When Remy's "secret" is spilled I just wanted to hug him.  He is such a little boy in an adult mans body.  He is emotionally stunted and is so afraid of being left.  He keeps questioning Brooke to make sure she wont leave him.  He keeps asking him "are you mine?' It is so sad and heartbreaking.  Brooke on the other hand is so afraid of the connection that she tends to keep closed off.  She is afraid of this love she knows she has for him.  I was a little bit annoyed with her.  She KNOWS what is wrong with him and knows he is the "needy" one in the relationship.  It kinda made me angry that she didn't open up a bit more to him knowing he needs her too....but then again I totally wanted to snuggle with Remy and make him feel better :)



I liked the plot when Brooke's sister and how Remy and the team are trying to help get her back.  I also loved Mel and Riley's love/hate relationship.  I can't wait to see them in their book.  But my favorite part of the book, hands down is the epilogue.  Seeing everything from Remy's point of view was awesome.  Ok wait....better rephrase this last statement, my 2nd favorite part of the book is the epilogue.  Any and allll of the "intimate scenes' were defo my favorite.  Remy is a hot male...scratch that...hot Lion.  I think his Alpha Male persona is something  I am very very drawn too.

This is Remy's motto--read to understand peps!



Brenda's  Review:
HOLY FREAKING HOTNESS!!!  It had me just from the cover!!  WOW!!  Bad boy, tattoo, underground boxer, alpha, blue eyes…… yeah there’s nothing wrong with any of those words!!! 
Brooke Dumas is trying to get her life back after a horrific injury that prevented her from her dream of running in the Olympics.  She’s now just finished college and is looking for a job.  Her BFF talks her going to an underground boxing match to check out a hot boxer by the name of Remington “Riptide” Tate (Remy)…from the first look she’s mesmerized by him.  And with all of the people watching Remy – he sees her.  When the punching gets too much for her she leaves.  Remy notices her leaving and knocks his opponent out that fast and jumps out of the ring to catch her.  He’s alpha right from the start….
This book was so hot.  Even without sex for the first 50+%, it was hot!   Some of the hottest kissing scenes EVER!!  He’s quiet and can’t express his feelings through words, so he picks songs for her to listen to.  He also likes to stake his claim by “licking”….. like a lion…… oh it’s hot!  Just you wait and see….. (wiping brow and fanning self)
I like to highlight quotes as I read and I had so many quotes from this book!!  Here are some of my favorites:
I think I like him, and I dislike that I do.
I think I want him, and hate that I do.
“When I take you, you’ll be mine.”  He says, a soft promise in my ear.  He slides his thumb along my jaw, then gently kisses my earlobe.  “You need to be certain.”  His eyes are so hot that I’m on fire with the lust in them, and the word “mine” makes the empty place between my legs swell with longing.  “I want you to know me first, and then, I want you to let me know if you still want me to take you.”
I love him.  He’s not just a star, he’s the whole fucking sky to me.  He’s the sun and every planet in this galaxy.
He’s my beast.  My dark and my light.  Mine.
What did I tell you?  Just by these quotes, don’t you want to read this book?  I cannot wait for the second book which comes out in June!
