Thatcher Michaelson is a bully.
Arrogant. Cruel. Ruthless.
And the most attractive guy I’ve ever laid eyes on.
He’s the rebel of Westbrook high, and I’m merely the annoying goody two-shoes he dubbed the saint.

There must be something wrong with me. After nearly two years of dirty looks and constant humiliation, I’m still crushing on the guy who hated me on sight.

Then he kissed me and instead of the ice-cold gaze I was accustomed to, I saw passion burning behind his dark molten eyes.

Violet St. James doesn’t belong in my world.
Good. Kind. Pure.
She’s everything I’m not.
She doesn’t just look like an angel, she is one. And I’ve fought every impulse to make her mine.

But all my efforts went up in flames the second I tasted her sweet lips. My inability to stay away has changed everything.

She’s determined to break down all my walls, but my little saint doesn’t understand the consequences of her actions.

She tells me she’s not afraid of the fall.
But she should be.

 BOOK REVIEW: My Darling Arrow by Saffron A. Kent

(St. Mary Rebels 1) 

Author: Saffron A. Kent

Released Date: September 17th, 2020

Source: GR

Darling Arrow,

I shouldn’t be writing this.

It’s not as if I’m ever going to send you this letter and there are a million reasons why.

First of all, I was sent to St. Mary’s School for Troubled Teenagers – an all-girls reform school – as a punishment for a petty, totally inconsequential crime. Not to ogle the principal’s hot son around the campus.

Second of all, you’re a giant jerk. You’re arrogant and moody and so cold. Sometimes I think I shouldn’t even like you.

But strangely your coldness sets me on fire.

The way your athletic body moves on the soccer field and the way your powerful thighs sprawl across that bike of yours, make me go inappropriately breathless.

But that’s not the worst part.

The worst part is that you, Arrow Carlisle, are not only the principal’s hot son.

You also happen to be the love of my sister’s life.

And I really shouldn’t be thinking about my sister’s boyfriend or rather fiancé (I overheard a conversation about the ring that I shouldn’t have.)

Now if I can only stop writing you these meaningless letters that I’ll never send and you’ll never read…

Never yours,
Salem

NOTE: This book is a standalone and DOES NOT contain cheating.

REVIEW

Loving him is the most wonderful, most awful thing in the world. Loving Arrow is my doom. So he’s not my dear, he’s my darling, my broken Arrow. His words are his namesake. Arrows. They pierce my heart. The heart that’s not so witchy after all. They make it holey. They make it bleed. This book gives me everything I want, its super angsty, scorching sex scenes and unrequited love its written amazingly, great characterization and strong plot line. Even the love triangle subplot is very well executed. This book wrecks me, I feel the pining, longing and love of Salem for Arrow since she was 10. Knowing that the love of your life was in love and in a relationship for 8 years with your older sister and you can't do something about it because its your freakin sister your blood and you don't wanna hurt her. It so painful to watch. I find myself crying 😢, thats how deep and heartbreaking this was. I didn’t fall in love with my Arrow to hurt my sister. I fell in love with him like dead leaves fall from the branch of a tree and rain falls from a swollen cloud. I fell in love with him like tears fall when you’re sad and like blood oozes out of your skin when you step on broken glass. Arrow and Salem's journey to happy ending is not easy, its raw and an emotional turmoil,yet its a beautiful mess and so much worthy in the end. “Dark curls; Golden eyes.” He rubs our noses together. “Thirteen freckles; Flowers between her thighs.” He skims his lips over mine. “Sweet; So sweet; My heart; My sweetheart.” This book is well done, an unforgettable love story. I kiss my darling then. And my darling kisses his sweetheart. RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

He was an artist. She was his muse.

To everyone in town, Abel Adams was the devil's spawn, a boy who never should have been born. A monster.

To twelve year-old Evie Hart, he was just a boy with golden hair, soft t-shirts and a camera. A boy who loved taking her picture and sneaking her chocolates before dinner. A boy who made her feel special.

Despite her family's warnings, she loved him in secret for six years. They met in empty classrooms and kissed in darkened church closets. Until they couldn't.

Until the time came to choose between love and family, and Evie chose Abel.

Because their love was worth the risk. Their love was the stuff of legend.

But the thing about legends is that they are cautionary tales. They are made of choices and mistakes. And for Abel and Evie, the artist and the muse, those mistakes come in the form of lights, camera, sex.

NOTE: This is NOT a paranormal or a priest romance.

Title: Bad Boy Blues

"I realize what I feel for him is too intense, too passionate, too heartbreaking and sad to be called love.

Maybe it’s a tragedy.

Or maybe it’s the blues."

"I don’t love you with just my heart. Heart’s just an organ. It can be ripped away from the body, stomped on, squashed into a pulp. I don’t love you with all my heart. I love you with all my soul. You’re in the core of me. You’re in my fucking essence. And no one can take that away from me. Not even death.”

 BOOK REVIEW: Medicine Man by Saffron A. Kent

(Standalone Forbidden Contemporary Romance)

Author: Saffron A. Kent

Released Date: September 27th, 2018

Source: GR

Willow Taylor lives in a castle with large walls and iron fences. But this is no ordinary castle. It’s called Heartstone Psychiatric Hospital and it houses forty other patients. It has nurses with mean faces and techs with permanent frowns.

It has a man, as well. A man who is cold and distant. Whose voice drips with authority. And whose piercing gray eyes hide secrets, and maybe linger on her face a second too long.

Willow isn’t supposed to look deep into those eyes. She isn’t supposed to try to read his tightly-leashed emotions. Neither is she supposed to touch herself at night, imagining his powerful voice and that cold but beautiful face.

No, Willow Taylor shouldn’t be attracted to Simon Blackwood at all.

Because she’s a patient and he’s her doctor. Her psychiatrist.

The medicine man.

Author: Saffron A. Kent

Released Date: July 13th, 2017

Source: GR

Layla Robinson is not crazy. She is suffering from unrequited love. But it's time to move on. No more stalking, no more obsessive calling.

What she needs is a distraction. The blue-eyed guy she keeps seeing around campus could be a great one--only he is the new poetry professor--the married poetry professor.

Thomas Abrams is a stereotypical artist--rude, arrogant, and broody--but his glares and taunts don't scare Layla. She might be bad at poetry, but she is good at reading between the lines. Beneath his prickly façade, Thomas is lonely, and Layla wants to know why. Obsessively.

Sometimes you do get what you want. Sometimes you end up in the storage room of a bar with your professor and you kiss him. Sometimes he kisses you back like the world is ending and he will never get to kiss you again. He kisses you until you forget the years of unrequited love; you forget all the rules, and you dare to reach for something that is not yours.

 BOOK REVIEW: No Prince by Stevie J. Cole, LP Lovell

(Dayton 1)

Authors: Stevie J. Cole, LP Lovell

Released Date: March 26th, 2020

Source: Goodreads

Zepp Hunt wasn’t the king of Dayton high school. He was the top of the food chain. And I was next in line to be dragged into the lion’s den. At least that’s what he thought…

Good girls wanted to tame him. Bad girls want to be tainted by him. Everyone bowed down to him. And me?
I hated Zeppelin Hunt with every fiber of my being.
Which was why I stayed away from the arrogant bad boy with tattoos and a rap sheet.
Until I couldn’t.
Until we traded favors, and I owed him three months of my life. I never thought I would end up in his bed, and when I did, I had to remind myself that he hated me as much as I hated him.
Until I didn’t.

Zepp Hunt was no prince, and I absolutely refused to be his damsel in distress…

REVIEW

Wow! I'm always been a big fan of this duo, I love every books that they written, own or collaboration, don't mind because they have this magic in creating a world and building up the right character for their story. And once I'd saw that's they are releasing a Angsty bully romance which I'm a sucker of, I am so thrilled💯.

So I literally finished reading this book now, and dear god I'd devoured every page of the book, I'm so glad that this is a full length novel.

Zeppelin Hunt is your typical asshole brooding big tattooed male character that you can't help to fall in love with despite of his reputation. Then Monroe James is this bad ass, sassy don't give a shit persona that I really dig in for my female character. This two both came from the wrong side of the track.

Roe being a white trash and Zepp being a bad boy in all sense.

What I love most in this book, is the author really invest a time to build the relationship bet the MC. How the angst and tension executed well and how the story dive in as well for the supporting characters, how they role being value, plus I always find myself laughing all the funny banters and dialogues bein thrown in the book. ♥️

Zeppelin Hunt's character are one of those you did not expect or will not consider to be a book boyfriend. But man once you get to know and get into depth of his character you will find yourself rooting for him. And as for Monroe I can't say enough for me she's a perfect match for him, no doubt. 💯

No Prince, highly recommended, a great read and I'd say this will definitely in my top reads for this year. And if your looking for something angsty, dark and bully romance that will knock you out, this one is for you. 👍

 BOOK REVIEW: Kiss and Break Up by Ella Fields

(Magnolia Cove 1)

Author: Ella Fields

Released Date: March 4th, 2019

Source: Goodreads

From bestselling author Ella Fields comes an all-new, turbulent, new adult romance.

Dashiell Thane wasn’t a nice guy.
He was an abrasive, demanding, conniving, intolerable brat.
Yet somehow, we’d been best friends our whole lives.
Until our senior year when I finally decided to dip my toes into the dating pool.

All it took was one kiss for jealousy, lies, and betrayal to sweep in and propel us heart first into dizzying, hostile depths.

You’re not supposed to kiss your best friend.
You’re definitely not supposed to kiss your best friend while you’re dating someone else.
And the absolute worst thing you could do is fall for your best friend.
Unless, of course, you want to ruin everything.

REVIEW

“She was the one constant in my life. A pillar of light among the ever-gray bullshit that stalked from one day to the next.”

I personally enjoyed reading Dash and Peggy's story, funny banter and cheesy lines. At first I'm not really a big fan of Peggy dumb actions. She's so blindsided by her feelings to Bryon that she was unable to see that what is she looking for was right in front of her eyes already, then when she finally come to her senses, then Dash had to fucked it up. What I really like about this book was the grovelling part, I'm so proud of Peggy's decision to not forgive him easily, stand to her firm decision and even point out his stupid mistake. At first I really liked the idea, and then I dislike it anymore, IMO it was overplayed, I get its in the title Breakup and I just think it take away the romance between main characters, we don't see enough moments of then together as an actual couple, I was expecting more and then it crashes down by the end . Its was ended abruptly.

“But those who hadn’t had their heart broken were nothing but foolish dreamers to think they could handle it.”

Peggy and Dash—more than just best friends.

 BOOK REVIEW: Suddenly Forbidden by Ella Fields

(Gray Springs University 1)

Author: Ella Fields

Released Date: January 24th, 2018

Source: Goodreads

I thought he'd always be mine,
even when I was forced to say goodbye.

We were never meant to let go,
but it happened anyway.
Too bad I didn’t know someone was waiting to take my place, or I would've held on a lot tighter.

Two years later, we were exactly where we'd always planned to be.
I'd kept my promise.
He'd forgotten all about his.
Not only had he moved on, but the person he'd moved on with was my best friend, leaving me to begin college with a broken heart.

I guess this is the part where I’m supposed to tell you some other guy stepped in, repaired my shattered pieces, and made me smile again.

This isn't that kind of story.

My heart might have been broken,
but it refused to fall out of love.

WARNING: this book contains cheating.

REVIEW

“I’m gonna marry you someday, Daisy June.” “I’m not scared. You and me … like the moon and the stars, we’re permanent.” I'm so proud of myself! For finally reading this book. Storyline that has cheating on it isn't my go to read. love triangle is one thing and I'm okay with it. Don't get me wrong i read a few books that has cheating before and I don't mind it if its done flawlessly, the execution, delivery in all. As for this book it go above and beyond when it comes to angst and forbidden plot device. It delivers all those hostile emotions, the frustration and anguish. Finding your forever at the very young age, to fall in love, planning for the future without overlooking that life isn't work that way. Then one chain of event happened that its out of your control creates the unexpected turmoil that you didn't see coming. Fate can be cruel, and timing just never on your side, that's how this book navigate. Some things were simply irrefutable and inescapable. The stars, the moon, and the way my heart would always beat in sync with hers. Let's talk about the cheating story arc in here, (view spoiler) as for Alexis, she's the ultimate snake in the grass (view spoiler) so Quinn the man of the hour, I can't really blame his action, can I??? he was just being a normal horny teenager, so inlove and heartbroken. Didn't know how to deal with reality, so he just decided to pursue Alexis, because she's the closest link, he's desperate to feel something familiar eh, and yes its fucked up, considering he did love her, they're in a relationship, not just a 3 months rebound. So for that reason I struggle a lot to accept his sentiments, the belief system and authenticity isn't quite there and isn't reliable enough for me. He knew its wrong and he regret it so much, and to be honest those cheesy moments between he and Daisy, i can't fully grasp the idea, thinking that he did it with Alexis as well even though it wasn't really implied, still cringeworthy. We more than meant a lot to each other. We were the breeze that ruffled the dandelions. The sun that scorched our skin red until we searched for reprieve under our favorite willow tree. And underneath the stretch of dark skies, we were each other’s stars. All around Suddenly Forbidden is a very very well written, the story flows naturally, pacing is great and smoothly done. The characterization isn't that great but still good, they're flawed yet understandable its just make them more interesting and relatable. Being perfect is boring. The story really sucks me in, it consumed me and I'm so invested with everything that was going on. Its unputdownable. Its a maddening ride for sure. Therefore I wouldn't think to reread this. I don't want to undergo with heart surgery again. It's just too painful. “Because without the stars, the moon is left alone to battle the dark.”
