#ItsLive #Review ~~ The Hating Season by KA Linde

Rating: Louisa’s 4.5 Blush Review I have been a KA Linde fan from the get to.  I have read just about every book she’s written.  And with each book, I love her writing and storytelling even more. I am a HUGE fan of enemies to lovers and angst.  KA Linde writes fantastic angst and this book doesn’t disappoint. Anna Englis is hired to be Court’s publicist.  The person who will keep him in line – the Upper Eastside born, entitled manwhore who needs reigning in while his mother is vying for re-election.  Anna English is an up and coming publicist...

#Review #TrilogyEnd ~~ Ashes by Aleatha Romig

Rating:   Kerry’s 4 Blush Review Ashes is the final installment of the web of desire trilogy. It’s a dark romance, it’s suspenseful and explosive. When you think you have caught your breath another bomb is thrown! Twist after twist. The lies and deceit will blow you away. Madeline Kelly is a survivor. Her story is full of emotion and devastatingly heartbreaking. No can imagine what Madeline has endured by some of the most powerful men. Her POV past/present. I found this back a forth hard at times to read but the need for the past and present was so...

#ReleaseDay #Review ~~Chicks, Man by J.D. Hollyfield

Rating: ?? HOT NEW RELEASE ?? Chicks, Man by J.D. Hollyfield is LIVE! #OneClick today! \\ Louisa’s 4 Blush Review JD Hollyfield is an author I am told to read all the time.  She has some great rom-com books and when this came out I thought “oh – it’s time”. The first few chapters I was unsure – a college graduate “tricking” someone into having sex with her in a closet – her brother’s best friend…how realistic is that?  I wasn’t quite on board…but I kept reading and I am so glad I did.  I may not love how these...

#Review ~~ Stealing Cinderella by A. Zavarelli

Rating:   STEALING CINDERELLA by A. Zavarelli Release Date: April 2nd Stephanie’s 4.5 Blush Review Ashleigh Zavarelli brings us a “Cinderella” story with a dark twist. It is complete with a brooding prince and an evil stepmother. Stealing Cinderella is heart-stopping at times and filled with raw emotions. There is one scene in particular that comes to mind (no spoilers), where I was completely floored! I had to put the book down for a few minutes! Thorsen (Thor) is the Crown Prince of Norway and next in line to be King. He is so dark and demanding. Life has brought...

#Review #GraphicNovel ~~ Gotham High by Melissa de la Cruz

Rating: Gotham High by Melissa de la Cruz Thomas Pitilli Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2RUADBm Alex’s 5 Star Review Before I talk about the plot of Gotham High I first want to mention the artwork.  The cover is bright and eye-catching which is always great when looking for something to read.  The interior art was beautiful and extremely detailed! De La Cruz and Pitilli did a great job adapting this story into a graphic novel. I have always been a fan of superheroes so I was super excited about this! Graphic novels are also a nice change of pace every now...
