Lawless: A Dark Bratva Romance Kindle Edition by Amarie Avant

Book Excerpt:

"The Beast stole me from the Devil . . . 

Anastasiya
I was born a trophy owned by the Resnov Bratva, waiting for the day they'd collect.
My identity was engraved in their legacy, and my only purpose was to obey, to submit. I had no voice, and most of all, I had no choice.
I was promised to one yet stolen by another. Simeon Resnov was my savior, a different kind of Beast. A beautiful contradiction to the name he carried.
He hid the darkness in him so well.

Simeon
She was meant to sit on a mantel, waiting for her rightful owner to claim her. On that day, she'd be used until there was nothing left until her existence was nothing but blood on his hands.
But the moment I saw her, I recognized the pain in her eyes. It drew me in, entranced me, and turned into an obsession that demanded I have her.
So, I took her. I stole the girl branded to another, and now her broken soul is mine to mend…to break…
And fix again."

"Lawless: A Dark Bratva Romance" by Amarie Avant

My Speculation:

"Lawless was a deadly dark Bratva romance" read that featured Anastasiya and Simeon. Along with these two main characters, there were also some very complex secondary characters that will keep the reader turning the pages to see what is coming next. Who will own who when it is all said and done. One of the main questions in the story is after Simeon saved Asya when she was twelve, why had she left him. After finding her once again, what secret did Asya withhold from him? What a journey this story will have as it will be seen that both of these two main characters indeed had some issues that were off the chart, however through it all, they did have a love for one another. Will they be able to find there way back to one another after all is said and done since it was evident that they did love each other? This is where I tell you will have to pick up this good read to see how it will call come out, and I will say you will be left wanting more of the story.

If you are looking for a well-packed action story you have come to the right one because this story if so full of it all from explicit sex scenes and let's not leave out the violence that will run all through the story, so no this is not for the faint at heart to read.

Thank you to the author for the BookFunnel read. It was quite an enjoyable read that only you can give your readers.

"Home for Good" by Niclie Nalley Seidler

My Speculation:

What a beautifully told story was featuring Paisley and Tate, who at one time meant a lot to one another. However, there would be a change after Tate returns home after ten years due to many changes in Paisley. I found this an exciting story if these two will be able to get back together, especially after Tate finds out that Paisley [who was now a single mom] had married his brother [now divorced] and has two kids. Even though Paisley is divorced, it was some read in how these two still had the chemistry they once had, but will d that be enough? It seems like the weight of the world is on Paisley's shoulder from the enlightenment of Tate's return, the ex is acting out, caring for her two children and even losing her job. This will be quite a rollercoaster ride as this story will take so many twists and turns to see what will come of it all from 'redemption, love, stalkers, death to hopefully a HEA." The characters were all, for the most part, well developed and defined that gives this story a real story that was even relatable in one way or another.

To get the whole story, I would recommend you pick up "Home For Good" to see how well this author gives the reader one well-written tale.

It was quite interesting how their parents had come in and interfered with their relationship, especially Victor's mom, well I will stop here and just say you will have to pick up this read to see for yourself what that was all about.

I enjoyed seeing Sabrina finally pulling herself out of the funk she was in due to her past relationship with an ex. It was quite interesting seeing these two main characters who had some past hurts and how they were able to deal with it before they were able to 'embrace the potential of their future.'

Learning to love yourself was a beautiful thing, along with Sabrina's child, family, friends, and it looks like a new person in her life. The author was able to give the reader some relatable feelings in all of the situations the story produced. There were some exciting characters named in this well-developed story that adds so well to this tale. Be ready for a little bit of it from 'love, humor, heartbreak, drama, family, co-parenting, and chasing dreams.'

Book Excerpt:

"Carey Duncan has worked for home remodeling and design gurus Melissa and Rusty Tripp for nearly a decade. A country girl at heart, Carey started in their first store at sixteen, and—more than anyone would suspect—has helped them build an empire. With a new show and a book about to launch, the Tripps are on the verge of superstardom. There's only one problem: America's favorite couple can't stand each other.

James McCann, MIT graduate, and engineering genius were hired initially as a structural engineer, but the job isn't all he thought it'd be. The last straw? Both he and Carey must go on a book tour with the Tripps and keep the wheels from falling off the proverbial bus.

Unfortunately, neither of them is in any position to quit. Carey needs health insurance, and James has been promised the role of a lifetime if he can just keep the couple on track for a few more weeks. While road-tripping with the Tripps up the West Coast, Carey and James vow to work together to keep their bosses' secrets hidden, and their own jobs secure. But if they stop playing along—and start playing for keeps—they may have the chance to build something beautiful together…"

My Speculation:

What a rather exciting story this author gives us. We find this reality t.v. Couples Melissa and Rusty Tripp have their design show and are on tour with a new book out of 'their marriage and how they keep their love alive.' However, this is not true because these two are no longer in love with each other. So, what will happen next? Carey and James, who are employed assistances by the Tripps, are there to keep them in check. To see these two assistants, Carey and James, are now 'babysitting' Melissa and Rusty on this book tour trying to fight the bad press was quite interesting as they are trying to 'reign in their bosses and manage stressful situations.'

Be ready for romance, comedy, some mystery, and yes, even heartfelt emotion coming out from this story. After recognizing the situation, we find Carey and James were stuck in what went from 'enemies to partners, working to keep the Tripps' from any public meltdowns.' I felt somewhat sad over Melly and Rusty's situation at times, especially Melissa, in the way she treated people! What a hot mess! The beautiful part of this story was watching James and Carey fall in love with each other ... from 'cute, sweet, lovely, tend even to the scorching sexy' stuff!

Now, get ready to be entertained immensely by a read of some fun characters and chapters that will take you on quite a trip, or should I say 'disastrous book tour.'

"SHE MADE ONE MISTAKE: HIM

Four years ago, Philippa met Titus in a house-party. They had a fiery tryst that ended in disaster when he married his intended--and her now-deceased second cousin--Lydia. Since then, Philippa lived her sorrow in private, avoiding the man at any cost. Traveling to London, she becomes stranded in his manor, and the past is coming back to haunt her even more than it had already. Convinced to move on, she dives in the season, determined to forget him. The only problem is that the blasted duke seems equally determined that she doesn't as he follows her to the city. She'll fight him, and her feelings for him standing, and get over the past sooner rather than later.

HE MADE ONE MISTAKE: HER

Titus, the Duke of Brunswick, succumbed to Philippa's lips that summer, knowing he'd soon be betrothed to a duke's daughter. After he and Philippa part, he accepts his fate to avoid scandal. Two years ago, he lost his wife and son in childbirth and took refuge in the country ever since. But the little termagant ends up stranded in his lands, shattering his hard-won peace. The problem is that, as she leaves, she takes with her the sparks that make him feel alive. That won't do. Unbidden, he takes a trip to town and down memory lane when their kisses prove as luscious as ever. He'll kill this passion even if he dies of it.

Last Couple Standing A Novel by Matthew Norman Mar

Book Excerpt:

"A couple determined not to end up like their divorced friends try a radical experiment—and get in way over their heads—in this hilarious, heartfelt novel from the author of We're All Damaged.

"This warm and witty tale of a devoted couple willing to throw out that pesky 'forsaking all others' rule to stay together crackles with fierce energy and emotional truth."—Judy Blundell, New York Times bestselling author of The High Season

The Core Four have been friends since college: four men, four women, four couples. They got married around the same time, had kids around the same time, and now, fifteen years later, they've started getting divorced around the same time, too. With three of the Core Four unions crumbling to dust around them, Jessica and Mitch Butler take a long, hard look at their own marriage. Can it be saved? Or is divorce, like some fortysomething zombie virus, simply inescapable?

To maximize their chance at immunity, Jessica and Mitch try something radical. Their friends' divorces mostly had to do with sex—having it, not having it, wanting to have it with other people—so they decide to relax a few things. Terms are discussed, conditions are made, and together the Butlers embark on the great experiment of taking their otherwise happy, functional marriage and breaking some strict rules.

Jessica and Mitch are convinced they've hit upon the next evolution of marriage. But as lines are crossed and hot bartenders pursued, they each start to wonder if they've made a colossal mistake. What follows is sexy, fun, painful, messy, and completely surprising to them both. Because sometimes doing something terrible is the only way to get to the heart of what's really good."

But I guess they had their reasons.  What will happen when they realize this was not the right path they should have taken?  Was this putting some fun into their marriage?  What a ride this story will go as we see how these two were into saving their marriage before it needed to be saved.  There will be some funny parts of the story that will put a smile on your face as you are found shaking your head and saying, wow!  To find out all the answers to these questions, you will have to pick up this read to see how this author brings it all out to the reader.

Hers to Tame (NOLA Knights, #2) by Rhenna Morgan

Book Excerpt:

"Book two of NOLA Knights, the heart-stoppingly sexy spin-off series by Men of Haven author Rhenna Morgan

As an avtoritet for the most powerful crime syndicate in New Orleans, Kir Vasilek doesn’t act without purpose, doesn’t speak without thought, and never, ever loses his cool. The lives of his brothers, his family, depend on it. But then Cassie McClintock strolls back into his life, and staying calm is next to impossible. Cassie was the one who got away—and Kir is willing to break all his own rules to keep it from happening ever again.

It’s one thing to report on the Russian mafia; it’s quite another to sleep with one of them, especially one as dangerous, and as sinfully sexy, as Kir Vasilek. Even though the information he once provided helped make her career—and the memory of his touch still keeps her up at night—Cassie knows too much about his world to go down that path.

But when Kir reaches out for help after a rival family comes for one of his own, Cassie doesn’t want to say no, either to investigate a gruesome murder or to the heat that pulls her right back into his arms…and his heart. Taming Kir—and helping to save the family she’s come to call her own—is not the story she thought she’d write, but it’s the one she’s determined will get a happy ending.

Hers to Tame is the highly anticipated follow-up to His to Defend. And don’t miss Roman’s story in Mine to Keep, coming soon from Rhenna Morgan and Carina Press.

I never expected to fall in love, so I told myself I wasn't. I never thought my feelings would matter, so I kept them hidden away and checked. Never allowed him to believe there would be anything more than a friendship, so how could I complain when he moved on to someone else?

Isaiah Turner

A man knows who he wants and who he definitely doesn't. But he'll take just enough rejection until he's forced to throw his hands up and walk away. The problem is, I just can't walk away from the only woman that will ever own my heart.
