Birthday Suit by Lauren Blakely Audiobook Review

Birthday Suit by Lauren Blakely truly made me feel like it was my birthday!

Review: There was so much goodness to this book I have no idea where to start! So let's just start with our leads Andi Arndt & Sebastian York. These two killed it as Lulu & Leo! They always work so well together & this time was no exception! They were so believable & so true to the characters that Lauren Blakely created. They were able to bring you in & hold your attention throughout the entire book. They had me laughing one minute & wanting to cry the next. Another flawless delivery from this dynamic duo! Erin Mallon as an aussie was incredible! As Ginny she was hilarious & able to deliver the accent flawlessly. I completely believed she was from Australia the entire time. I actually forgot it was her for a bit & just got into the character. Now if you know me you know I love me some Shane East! He didn't let me down as Dean, not one bit. The scenes between him & Sebastian York were some of my favorites. I said it before & I'll say it again, total eargasm! I have to say though my favorite performance came from Joe Arden as Noah. I am used to hearing him in more intense rolls so hearing him hilarious, upbeat & hyper as heck was absolutely AMAZING! His delivery was completely mind blowing for me & made me see him in a whole new light. I can't wait to see if he will do more of this kind of character in the future. I have to say I was surprised that Savannah Peachwood could pull off such a bitchy character. I can honestly say I hated RaeLynn by the end of the book even though I love Savannah Peachwood. January Lavoy as Kingsley made my day! She played that roll to perfection & had me totally enthralled every time Kingsley would talk. Dion Graham was perfect as Lulu's best friend & business partner Cameron. The scenes between the two of them were so believable & hilarious. Jason Clarke gave a very good performance as well as Tripp, Leo's best friend & Lulu's ex husband. That last scene he did almost made me cry. I'd like to hear more from him & from the teasers at the end of the audiobook it looks like that is going to happen very soon! RC Bray as Grorge was hilarious as the chocolate fountain man with triplet babies! Julia Whelan had me totally into her quirky character Tabitha. And Robin Miles pulled off not one but two different & distinct characters flawlessly! All in all this audiobook is up there in my favorites of all time & I will not be surprised when it starts winning awards left & right! I completely recommend you give Birthday Suit a listen. You will not be disappointed!

Hard Limit by Sybil Bartel

I have NO hard limits when it comes to this sexy alpha!

Review:

Hard Limit by Sybil Bartel blew my freaking mind! I already knew it was going to be intense from all the teasers she has given us. But I had no idea that it would rock me so completely. I have been waiting for Candle's story for a very long time. I figured we would get a story that starts after all his action in the Uncompromising Series but holy hell was I shocked to find out we were going back to River Ranch for some more drama. Not only was this story a page turner, it was one of the most intriguing books I have read of hers yet. I couldn't wait to dive into Shaila's life & find out what she was all about. I literally sat in my reading chair & devoured this book start to finish without getting up I was that into it. Learning more of his background with the cult & finding out what happened to him after he was "vanquished" was amazing. Getting to know Shaila & her background made it easy to see how perfect she is for him. Of course she had to leave us in a cliffhanger since this is a 3 book series but even just in this first one I am hooked & anxiously awaiting the next book! That cliffhanger though holy hell so crazy & not fair!! I can already tell that this series is going to be a favorite of mine for sure.

Deal With The Devil by Meghan March

The Queen of cliffhangers strikes again!

From New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller
Meghan March comes the first book in a new riveting romance trilogy
filled with international high-stakes, dangerous hidden agendas,
and—in true March fashion—plenty of twists and turns.

ABOUT THE BOOK

DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
Forge Trilogy, Book #1
Red Dress Press | On Sale: January 15, 2019

BOOK TEASER:

From New York Times bestselling author Meghan March comes the story of the ruthless, calculating billionaire Jericho Forge. India Baptiste, his latest prey, is now caught in the high stakes game that has become her life since colliding with Forge, and she’ll need the luck of the devil to survive. India Forge’s life is now part of Jericho Forge’s calculated game.

COVER BLURB:

"You can put that man in a suit, but he'll never be tame."

One look at Jericho Forge and I knew the rumors were true. He was a predator, and he had set his sights on me.

I knew better than to bet more than I could afford to lose that night. I knew better than to bet myself. But desperation leads to bad decisions, and I thought there was no way I could lose.

I was wrong.

Now I have no choice but to make a deal with the devil. 

REVIEW:

I had the amazing opportunity to get an ARC of this story & I was blown away! Can I just start by saying that this book was much different than I expected it to be in all the best ways! After The Sin Trilogy I will admit that I was a little nervous going into a new trilogy because I was afraid of being thrown in a million different directions that I couldn't keep up with but that was definitely not the case. March was able to keep me on the edge of my seat without driving me insane. I was able to thoroughly enjoy the story I was reading as it unfolded. I was able to fall completely in love with these new characters & never be bored or confused. As far as MM's different billionaires go Creighton Karas has always been my favorite by far. When we were introduced to Jericho Forge at the end of The Sin Trilogy & found out that Creighton was one of his business connections I knew immediately that I would like him. When MM revealed that Jericho was a mix of Creighton & Lachlan Mount from the Mount Trilogy I lost my ever loving mind & was almost frantic to get my hands on his story. Well ladies & gents March delivered in a big way! Jericho is the perfect mix of these two epic alpha billionaire heroes. He is smart, sophisticated & sexy as all hell. But her references to Jason Momoa & Aquaman really pushed me over the egde & made me fall for him HARD! Then enter India Baptiste the famous poker player that swoops right into Forge's life & heart. Indy is a perfect example of a true strong independent woman. She challenges Forge at every turn, never backing down & always giving him a run for his money. She is the ideal heroine for this unlikely hero. I'm sure as the story progresses these two are going to be a force to be reckoned with. I can only imagine what trouble a pirate & a poker player can get up to! This book get a complete 5 stars from me on every front. I can't wait to see what surprises the next book brings us.


My Favorites:

"When a billionaire walks into a room, you feel it. Especially if you're the billionaire." That is seriously one of the best first sentences of a book I have ever read! It sets the tone for the entire trilogy. Right on MM!

"It's like someone unleashed the Kraken." I may or may not have spit out my diet dr. pepper when I read that. I laughed so hard at that line & the next couple pages that my stomach ached afterward.

"His words shouldn't affect me like this. His touch shouldn't affect me like this. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm a slave to Jericho Forge." I am right there with you Indy because seriously this man made my ovaries ache!

"He really is Aquaman.
Except he's not an actor playing a role. Forge is the real deal.

Indy, you need to watch yourself, the voice in my head says. Don't go getting dick-struck by him because he released the Kraken on you." Again with the sides aching laughter. But woah mama with the sexy imagery!

So far he has had me all over the place & he hasn't even had his own book yet. One second I think he's an ass hole then the next I'm completely in love. I can not wait to see what he & his sexy redhead get into! (& yes I am completely biased with red heads!)
