Spin C.D. Reiss Songs of Corruption #1

** two stars
"You mean there’s still a mafia?”
“Yes, Virginia, there is a mafia." 


This girl thinks with her "wettest spot" and her wet spot gets her into a ton-o-trouble. 
She's all over the place and so is he. They're both nuts.
The dirty sex and the violent capo carry the book, glossing over lots of weird crap that doesn't flow or make sense.
The writing is intentionally jangly to create tension. Well, I hope it's intentional, otherwise it's just bad.
This book requires a certain amount of letting go, enjoying the crazy ride. It reminded me of a night time soap like Dallas or Falcon Crest. That's not really my thang. I like my stories firmly based in reality.

The audio for this book is gonna be awkward...

“I want you,” I said. “I want you to fuck my virgin ass so hard.“

“Every day,” he whispered, “I’ll take you like this. In the morning, before coffee, I fuck you. At night, I fuck you harder. In our bedroom, our living room, our kitchen, I’ll love you in every room. Mi amore, I’ll break you with my love and put you back together. And when I retire, you still call me Capo because you’re mine. Always mine.“
Ameliorate, to make something bad, better.

Kaleidoscope Kristen Ashley

Deck lifted his hand and wrapped his fingers in a firm grip around the side of Chace's neck. They locked eyes.
'Happy for you man.'
Chace lifted his hand and returned Deck's gesture.
'Yeah.' 
****OMG! Can we please have a KA M/M book? Please! With strawberries on top?***


And...I just realized a theme of the mountain man series (view spoiler)

Anyhoo, loved Kaleidoscope as much as the others in this series. I like the relationship focused, well developed story. I like the good guy, genius aspect of this and the subtle complicated conflict.

There is some discussion about the loss of a child. The irony that loving a child so much can leave you paralyzed with fear. 
A painful subject for me, but also a sweet reminder not to let such fears overpower. 

Loved Jacob's two sides; crude alpha vs. gentle saint. I wish more of the story was about his issues. Why the Hell was he hung up on someone named Elsbeth all those years? Elsbeth? really? 


I'm glad we got some mountain man pool action. These boys should be constantly wet I think. yep. 


Did a little fangirl squee at the mention of Hector's name, and the hot bunch doing some manual labor together. whew. nice.

There is something so warm and comforting about this writing style, the dialogue familiar, strong, and funny. All confirming my 'Kristen Ashley is a genius' theory.

Editing notes.
The cover looks alot like . The perspective on the cover is incorrect, making the house appear like it's folding outward, the mountains are too small. If you're going to use graphics, at least use good ones. That said, I love the green theme.

Three typos. One excruciating one in the epilogue. How can you not read the most important sentence in the whole book? His hands would treat me with just as much care....grrrrr.

not angry enough to take away a star though. 

Jacob. Decker. sigh....

'Want you to kiss me, honey' she murmured.
'Taste of you baby' he reminded her.
'I don't care' she replied, then lost patience as she bent her neck to take his mouth.

Wanted J.Kenner

2 stars

The sex was hot and the tension was high....until they did it.
I was into this until about 58%, then i dropped out and couldn't get back in. It became cheesy and trite and Evan's character was inconsistent. Is he dangerous or the boy next door? He constantly was sticking his finger in her. 
Perhaps I have outgrown kinky bazillionaires? Is it possible?

The cover is way too dark and I can't see the image or text on my kindle carousel or GR shelf. Needs more contrast.
Two annoying, easily fixed typos.

All In with the Duke

The Duke: I have a fondness for leather.
The Rent Boy: I surmised as such.

Max and Tristan are extremely likable. OK, they are lovable! Esp. Max. I've got a little crush on Max, The Duke of Pelham.

I might have given this 4 stars for the predictable story, but the black marble dildo is worth one star alone. It's like a third MC. Hooray for delivering a promised dildo, avoiding pet peeve number #60 and scoring one for kink #1.

Truthfully, Max's frustration and loneliness is so endearing and he's all pure hot alpha. And Tristan is lithe, brave, strong, never showing fear of Max's mood swings. I just wanted to hug drunken brooding Max, rub all his worries away.

Kudos for no typos and a pleasant phrasing and pace throughout. I would have liked to see more external conflict (an ex-lover, a public scandal, something) but still really enjoyed spending time in jolly old England with these two sweet horny blokes, and the dildo.

Bad Idea, Daemon Suede

Perhaps me reading this was a Bad Idea?

I made it thru the first few sex scenes. They were hot, but squeaked me out (eating your own come). I just can't see Trip as a top.

It's just very hard for me to figure out what these two are on about. At one point, Trip even admits he doesn't get the reference. 

T: Most people think I'm a nutbag. hmmmmm......

S: I want the next thing. But then, of course, I don't want any of that because I don't want just that. You, I mean. That is, all that would probably be a horrible mistake because its what I would do, not what I should do.

I wish I could finish and rate this, but I can't. In all fairness, I didnt like Hot Head either, so I've wandered outside my comfort zone.

The Virgin: Revenge (The Virgin #1) J. Dallas

I enjoyed this beginning to their story, I liked the tension of seeing him after so long. I liked their chemistry and the sex scenes were good. There were some continuity problems. She thought he wouldn't remember her name? The book is titled revenge, yet she immediately gives up on her plans, not knowing why she's there. "Maybe I should have thought this through a little better." Yes, maybe you should.

Minus one star for typos.
The grammar errors need to be fixed before this goes out for sale. I personally feel it's unethical to offer a book for sale without proper editing. The reader purchases with the expectation of a readable story, and feels duped when they find no one has looked closely at the text.

I'm happy to do the editing for you, $100 and you'll have a readable legit copy.
