Blue Reviews Breaking Her by RK Lilley (Book 2)

Blue Reviews Breaking Her by RK Lilley 

Release Date March 29, 2016

I have been looking forward to this book for months and let me tell you, I was a bit concerned with the possibility of it being a let down just like so many other "Book 2's" have done to me in the past.  

Now come on, y'all know what I'm talking about. Don't even try to act like you don't.

To me, Breaking Him (Book 1) was absolutely superb. The writing excelled with every paragraph and I literally devoured that book like I had been starving for days and then dropped off at a buffet.  That's a very hard thing to try to top with a Book 2.  

Very, very hard indeed.  

I wasn't really sure if it was even possible to even come close to what she did with the first book and yes, I can hear someone in the distance screaming at me "oh ye of little faith", when it comes to this author.  

But that's just how phenomenal Breaking Him was to me.

How could she ever surpass Breaking Him?

How???

But you know what?  

She did it.  

She absolutely did it. 

RK Lilley pulled off what so many other authors struggle to get right, and that is to outdo Book 1.

She freaking did it!!!

I have tears in my eyes as I type this from having flashes of scenes running across my mind.

RK Lilley put me right there in those scenes.  

I felt ALL OF IT.  

All of the pain.  

All of the terror and fury.  

The emotions raced through me so strongly that my hands were shaking.  

Beads of sweat started to gather on my body.  

My heart raced, ached and hurt.  

My eyes bugged wide and even dried up because of my lack of blinking.      

I hadn't even realized that I was holding my breath until I started gasping for air.

I ugly cried and this does not happen for me often at all.

The author NAILED IT with this duet of books!!

These books will be proudly displayed on my top bookshelf of my all time favorite books ever.

This is me screaming from the rooftops, FIVE BREAKING ALL OF ME APART AND PUTTING ME BACK TOGETHER AGAIN STARS FOR BREAKING HER!!!!

Nine Minutes and Out of Time by Beth Flynn

NINE MINUTES and OUT OF TIME by Beth Flynn
Reviewed by Blue's Book Reviews

Nine Minutes by Beth Flynn has been on my very long list of books to read for what feels like forever.  I was making a drive up to Dallas for an author event and wanted to find a book to listen to for the drive there and back to keep me company.  After looking through all of my options, I zeroed in on Nine Minutes and pulled the trigger.  

First of all, I'm normally not a big MC fan nor am I a fan of reading/listening to anything written in 3rd person.

Here's the BUT...but this writing and narration was absolutely suburb!!   This story kept me on the edge of my seat and left me constantly guessing at the who's, the what's, the where's and the DAFUQ just happened moments.  I never even noticed the 3rd person view and that right there for me is so very huge.

While reading Out of Time, I have gone without washing my hair for 3 days.  I also may have fibbed and told my husband that I was running a fever so that I could stay in bed and continue reading without fear of him being angry with me for spending 3 days wearing the same pajamas, hair a mess, unshaved legs and underarms while looking  more and more like a homeless bag lady with each passing day.

All because of these characters.
They consumed me.
They haunted my sleep.
They kept me from basic physical hygiene.
I'm sure that I've damaged my bladder from holding it for far too long because making the choice between getting up to pee over putting down my Kindle for 3 minutes was a no brainer as I chose to hold it a little bit longer.

Grizz.  Kit.  Grunt.  Blue.  Moe.  And wait for it...Jodie Marie.

Yes, you heard me right.  Jodie Marie and I are in a book together! Never-mind that I'm playing a bad-ass biker dude named, Blue, and now that you know that I'm really a bad-ass biker dude named, Blue, just be sure to not tell my husband.  
And then there's Jodie Marie, the foul mouthed Brit with bright blue eyes and blonde hair who shows up in the end of Out of Time causing me to squeal out loud!

Nine Minutes and Out of Time took over my life and rendered me completely useless to my family.  The headache that came upon me once I finished Out of Time was the hangover headache that I get when I finish any phenomenal book/series.  That sweet agony that we all seek when reading a book, that coveted book hangover that leaves us feeling lost, dazed, euphoric and sad, all at the same time.  
I'm going to need lots of aspirin.  Lots of reassurances that life will go one.  Lots of confirmations that I'm not the only one who felt this way when finishing these books.  

And finally, I'm going to add this series to my,"Blue's Freaking Favorite Books of All Time in the History of Ever List"!!!

Arsen by Mia Asher

Today's Blue Spotlight is Arsen by Mia Asher. 

When I say that this book will completely rip you a new pooter-pucker, I mean you will not be able to sit down for weeks from the butt hurt you will experience with Arsen!!!! Get the doughnut pillow ready, forget the wine, you're gonna need the hard stuff to get you through this one. Not. Kidding.

I wanted to literally beat Cathy, the main female character (stupid freaking weak freaking stupid Cathy) with anything that would cause her great pain and a slow death. I was screaming at my Kindle "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!???" I lost sleep. I had bad dreams. I had clarification on just how easily it can be for a woman to fall into the bed of another man, even when her husband is amazing, perfect, and loves her more than life itself. And honestly, it terrified me, because could this happen to me? Could this happen to you? Mainly, how, how, how could she do this???!!!! I retold this story to my husband and was visibly angry with tears in my eyes while talking to him about it.
True Story.

This book hurts. It hurts so freaking bad. I felt like throwing up from what Cathy was doing to her beautiful marriage. I was Team Ben all the way. Now don't get me wrong, our young and hot villain named Arsen, wins awards with his dirty mouth skills and how he baited and hooked a married woman to have a hot and filthy affair with him. I'm not sure how many women would have been able to resist him.

I feel that EVERY MARRIED WOMAN needs to read this book. It should be given to the brides as a wedding gift. It takes you on the journey of a beautiful marriage, and how a woman's selfishness and internal pain, allows another man to move in and literally obliterate that marriage. Thisbook shows the ugly truth on what happens when blind lust blows up in your face and blows up your entire life. Arsen became a drug to her and she became a full blown addict.

You will not be the same after reading Arsen. Expect to spend weeks, even months, thinking about these characters and the choices that were made.

I give Arsen by Mia Asher, 5 as in FIVE FREAKING BUTT HURTING BLUE STARS for making me scream, cry, lose sleep, and blubber to my husband that he will never have to worry about me ever choosing any man over him because I would never survive without him.

Thank you Mia Asher. Bravo, Ma'am. Bravo!!!

Commodity by Shay Savage

Blue's Book Reviews COMMODITY BY SHAY SAVAGE

Commodity was so unexpected.  I had no idea what was awaiting me with this book.  My heart raced and I was on edge.

Hannah is traveling with Falk, a body guard she's never met before.   They are on their way from Atlanta to Washington to testify against a powerful business owner and politician who was running a sexual trafficking ring.

Imagine going about your day and then explosions, buildings falling, but somehow you survive it while running into a train tunnel.  When you emerge, all the men in the streets seem to be dead and there are no women, children, livestock or pets anywhere.  Gone.  They are all gone.
There are survivors, like Hannah and Falk.
And those few survivors all seem to be all men.
The women who did manage to survive, are now a very valuable commodity in this new world and forced into sexual slavery if they are caught.

Falk's mission is to protect Hannah at all costs.
He's vowed to keep her safe.
Then, she's gone.
They took her.
Falk is mortally wounded and can't save her.
He spends months tracking and searching for her.
Never giving up.

Commodity was a roller coaster of a ride so buckle up and prepare for some sleepless nights.

I highly recommend adding Commodity to your library.  I also recommend watching Skillet's "I'm Not Gonna Die Tonight" videos on YouTube to go along with this book.
Not Gonna Die by Skillet
Not Gonna Die by Skillet with Lyrics

"In a world where everything was accessible with a few clicks on a smart phone, I had nothing.  In a world of chaos where we have to fight for our very existence, I have everything.  I feel fine.  I feel needed.  I am whole again."

Blue's Book Reviews PRIEST by Sierra Simone

Blue’s Book Reviews
PRIEST by Sierra Simone

I have to be completely honest here, I was terrified to read this book.  I mean, I’m a Born Again Christian that cusses a little and reads smutty romance books.  So there are some boundaries that I do have and any Christian should have some set boundaries that they will not cross.  But after seeing post after post after post about Priest, my curiosity got the best of me.  If things got really weird, I’d just stop reading it and move on to my next book.

But ohhhhhh boy.  Things definitely got something, but “weird” wasn’t ever the word that came to mind!!! 

Sierra Simone did a phenomenal job with this book and when I tell you that you better invest in some SHAMWOW PANTIES, THEN GET YOUR BUTT ON EBAY AND BUY SOME SHAMWOW PANTIES, or just wear an overnight pad while reading Priest because DAAAAYYYYUUUUMMMM. 

You know, even the best God loving couples should have a great and freaky sex life, and I felt that this book really had a great balance of hot sex, the internal struggle within a Christian to do the right things, love God and to know just how far to let our urges take us. 

“Both of us just stared down at it, this impossible sight:  me inside of her, a priest tasting the forbidden fruit and barely able to keep himself from eating it all.”

Priest is brilliantly written and as afraid as I was to read it, I’m now afraid for all of you who won’t read it for the same reasons I almost didn’t.  If you are on the fence with this one, then it’s not for me to tell you where to push your spiritual boundaries to.  But if you already read these types of books, then you will not be disappointed with Priest!!!

Here are my suggestions if you do decide to take the leap as I did;
#1.  Be wearing Sham-wow panties or overnight super heavy flow pads while reading.
#2.  Have your husband, boyfriend or BOB very handy while reading.
#3.  Confess that you read Priest by Sierra Simone to all your back door reading friends because if you’re like me, you keep your reading life hidden from your real life so that none of your church family shows up at your house crying and praying for your soul.  But seriously, you’ll want to tell your secret reading friends about this book, and you’ll want to do it often!!!

Blue's Book Reviews BREAKING HIM by R.k Lilley

Blue’s Book Reviews
BREAKING HIM BY R.k. Lilley

Just a taste of some of my favorite highlights;

“He was mine before you ever had him, and even when you did, know this, a part of him as still mine. You never got what I had. You had what was left when I was done with him.”

“What we had was always a lie. I know because if it was real it wouldn’t have ended. It felt like forever, and forever was a lie.”

“Love doesn’t save our souls. It kills them.”

“I hate his lying, conniving guts, but sex with him can be a religious experience. He remembers things about my body that even I forgot…..Ah….Oh…I see….That they seemed to get. The universal understanding of phenomenal sex. Go figure.”

“Don’t talk. Your voice ruins it for me…..Shhh. I’m trying to pretend you’re someone else. Every time you speak it ruins it for me.”

At 3% into Breaking Him, I had already highlighted 18 passages. I can’t even count the number I have highlighted since finishing this book. Breaking Him to me, is possibly RK Lilley’s best book to date. And that is not an easy thing for me to say because her Tristan and Danika series, Bad Things, Rock Bottom and Lovely Trigger are high at the top of my most favorite series ever in the history of ever.

So for me to be able to say that she has possibly outdone herself, makes me almost sad and thrilled at the same time!

Scarlett and Dante. Dante and Scarlett. They have been in a bloody war with each other for years. Their hearts belonging to only each other, but decisions and choices were made years ago, that caused so much pain and suffering, that it changed Scarlett’s heart into vessel for revenge.

Scarlett is a masterpiece of a character and I loved her HARD!!!! RK Lilley captured brilliantly in Scarlett, what a broken heart can do to a person when that person doesn’t break. Scarlett didn’t break when her years of love and devotion with Dante ended. Scarlett transformed into the most beautiful weapon of mass destruction where Dante is concerned.

I loved everything about her. Her hate. Her thirst for his blood. Her vengeance. Her self-preservations. Her brokenness. I want to change my name to Scarlett because I loved her that much.

Dante, oh Dante. I have no idea the extent of what he did to Scarlett yet, but as much as I wanted to despise him as much as Scarlett did, I never could do it. His love for her slaps you in your face and even though she fights to always hurt him, he takes it.
Whatever it is that he did, he’s paid his dues with pain of losing her.

I’m sure Dante’s evil spawn of satan of a mother had something to do with the demise of their relationship and I’m going to start a Word file to record all of my fantasies of how I would want to see Dante’s mother killed off.

I cannot wait for the next book, BREAKING HER to come out!!! I wouldn’t say this was huge cliffhanger, but I WANT ANSWERS AND I WANT THEM NOW!! So it does leave you wanting MORE!!! AND I WANT MORE OF DANTE AND SCARLETT!!!!

Blue's Book Reviews SUSTAINED by EMMA CHASE

I can't remember ever staying up till 3am to finish a book!!! I could not put SUSTAINED down!!!!!

I FELT IT ALL IN THIS BOOK!!!! BRAVO!!!!!! STANDING OVATION!!!!!!!

“And she screams. A horrible, piercing wail that I’ll never forget as long as I live. Pain so bare, so raw, that thoughts aren’t even possible – just an endless flow of agonized sobs. Her knees give out, and I catch her.”

Sustained is classic Emma Chase, you get the sarcasm and great writing flow. This one though, wasn't so much laugh out loud as much as the much as her other books but still supplying the absolutely fantastic witty banter.

The characters, you just fall hard in love with each and every one of them. There are 6 orphaned children and their 26yr old aunt who is now their sole guardian and is trying to manage mourning kids along with her own personal mourning. When her brother and beloved sister in law were killed in a car accident, she had to leave college in CA and go to the kids in DC. She gave up everything for them, and she loves those children so beautifully, that you feel it strongly through Emma’s brilliant writing.

Then there’s Jake, ohemgee, Jake. I freaking love him!! I have tears in my eyes just thinking about him. Just wow. This is probably one of the best, if not the best book she's written to date, and that is not an easy thing for me to say when it comes to anything Emma Chase has written!!

The hot sex doesn't kick up until around 50%, but the incredible dialogue and everything else with this homerun, field goal, touchdown, hole in one and swoosh of a storyline, it didn't even need the sex scenes to be amazing!! Even though I do love me some smoking hot sex scenes and she never disappoints in this category, Emma Chase did not disappoint in the bumpin’ ugly scenes (ifyaknowwhatimean)!!!

I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

FIVE BLUETIFUL BLUBBERING SCREAMING FROM THE ROOFTOPS STARS!!!!!!

Blue's Book Reviews A LOVER'S LAMENT by KL Grayson and BT Urruela

Blue’s Book Reviews
A LOVER’S LAMENT by KL Grayson and BT Urruela

“Maybe we are all monsters, created by war like some lab experiment gone wrong.”

“It’s like all this death and destruction, losing buddies, and the kids growing up without me, I’ve lost my sense of feeling. I don’t hurt. I don’t ache for home. I just exist. I don’t feel like I have control anymore. But I need this.”

“The nights out here when I’m hurting so badly I’d rather die than bear the pain.”

I could go on and on with exceptional quote after exceptional quote that I’ve saved from this book. So many lines and paragraphs flow like poetry and pierced my heart on so many levels.

This finding each other again love story through brokenness and heartbreak, consumed my thoughts and heart. I found myself rambling about it to my husband, raving over the writing and knowledge that one of the authors lived and survived war himself. That he was able to articulate and capture the emotions and pain that soldiers feel during their times of deployment and the ugly and silent truth that today may be their last day.

This book is absolutely beautiful to me on the level of Archer’s Voice by Mia Sheridan. I want to climb into this book and protect Sergeant Devin Clay, from anything that could hurt him, just like I did with Archer.

FIVE FANTASTIC BLASTING PHENOMENAL POETIC I WANT TO SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS BLUE STARS!!!!!

Blue's Book Reviews PUCKED by Helena Hunting

Blue’s Book Reviews “PUCKED” By Helena Hunting

Where do I even begin? Do I start with the fact that our leading man, Alex, has an anaconda monster porno penis/appendage that our heroine, Violet, ends up dressing up like a super hero, with a cape, French mustache and googly eyes?

Or do I start with how Violet is totally inappropriate and it absolutely my doppleganger? I seriously believe that Violet and I should be very best friends if she isn’t my long lost twin.

Or do I tell about the numerous times that I busted out LAUGHING OUT LOUD in fits of bellowing, snorting, embarrassing heehawing where people were staring at me like I had lost my mind?

Or do I talk about the dozens of highlighted sentences that I saved in my Kindle while reading PUCKED?

I could always talk about all the beaver references. Beaver button. Beaver breaking. Drooly beaver. How Alex’s smile makes the fountain of beave turn on.

And then there’s the “Exit only! It’s Exit only!” scene which is completely poetic to those of us who understand this situation in real life. Poetic and yet, absolutely HILARIOUS!!

I could literally do this all day, tell you readers about every line, every scene, and every single thing that made me laugh out loud. But I’d just be copy and pasting almost the entire book of PUCKED so I’ll end my review with this.

I absolutely EFFING PUCKING FLOVED PUCKED and I can’t recommend it enough for ya’ll to read it too!
