But I Don’t Want To Resist!! Review of Resisting the Biker by Cassie Alexandra
I read this book within a collection, and it was so good! I was a bit upset about how it started, I feel like Krystal got the poopoo end of the stick in my opinion. I will be following up with this series because… good lord!
Here is my Goodreads Review!
Resisting The Biker by Cassie Alexandra
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I can’t even describe how much I liked this book!!
For starters, Raptor is SO FREAKING AWESOME! I mean he has a heart of freaking gold, he takes in the youths in his home if they have no where to go?
Adriana on the other hand is a bit too sheltered? I mean why is her mother still telling her what to where and what to eat. I know that you do not want to leave her alone after your father died but if you don’t move on with your own life she is never going to either!
I did feel super bad for Krystal it really seemed like it was a case of in the wrong place at the wrong time kind of thing, and even if he did try to act all hard and stuff, Tank really did love that girl.
Now for the cliffhanger of the freaking century! You finally get Raptor to admit that he wants Adriana to be his old lady and even think about getting out of the life, they start on their future together and you have this DIRTY BIRD, Brandy show up talking about she is pregnant!!!
I just wanted to die. They went through so much to have it stopped by her! Ugh!

You can see me reviews on Papa’s Prey and Daddy’s Home below!!
Papa’s Prey by Zoe Blake
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
OK, so I will say it took me a bit to get over my uncomfortableness due to the age scene and the Papa/little girl titles. But once I did!! GOOD GOD this was a great story. I was so sucked into the story by the descriptions, It was like I as right there in the room with them, Zoe Blake sure knows how to paint a picture on the page! Just when I thought I would never like something like this, here a comes a story that makes me say, this may be taboo but man oh man is it HOT!!!
Great read, but not for the faint of heart! Lot of daddy/little girl feels to it, forcefulness and explicit language.
Daddy’s Home by Zoe Blake
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really did enjoy this book. I was a little put of by how their relationship progressed and how quickly she turned from nay to yay. I will say that if there was a part two to this book I would be interested in the story!
Logan was super sexy and super dominant and all things alpha that I truly love. I did wish that there was a bit more background in to what he was doing there and even more to do with Chloe’s ex. Did the authorities even look for him? So many questions,I just want some answers!!! Therefore I need another book…

Arm Candy by Patricia Ryan
Arm Candy by Patricia Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Nora and David are opposites if I ever saw any.
Nora hails from Ohio and is staying with her cousin Harlen, the name is awesome though. She is running a wonderful small jewelry making business although it is not getting much traction. David is a lawyer who works with so many high end clients. So when David is looking for a woman that he can take to a function, one with no strings and no expectations. Harlen know the right girl!
He basically begs for Nora to go with David weaving lies for her to tell him so she would seem more the part, Like she was a model. Of course Nora wanted to help her cousin so she agreed. She didn’t expect to fall in love with David and for her to fall in love with her.
Ok, so the tease/sex scenes were ridiculously hot. Like I had to fan myself hot. I honestly don’t know why she didn’t tell him before that she was the jewelry maker instead of dragging it out. I mean models have other hobbies too.
Definetly a good read, and I didn’t even realize it was the last in the series, will go back and read the others.

I received this as an ARC from Author
I will say that I liked the book and it did touch on some serious topics, suicide, racism, self confidence, depression. I can never say what the person who thinks that suicide is the only way out is feeling or thinking, but I completely believe that it is one of the most selfish things that anyone could do. So when the MC decides that she is going to kill herself because other people have rooted themselves in her head and forced her to feel like crap about herself and make her leave the man she loves, I could only think of the alternatives that she could have done. Then once she is out of the Institution she decides that she is just going to continue with the charade instead of asking Alec why he didn’t write her? Then once they get back together she is scared to say boyfriend because she didn’t know if he would be mad….. Oh Jeez!!!
Honestly if there is anything that I learned from this book it is that communication is key!!!

Break Me by Lena Maye
Break Me by Lena Maye
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
So this book was very predictable I knew they were going to end up together. Even with knowing all that the ride was well worth it. Kepler was an actual dude, I’m convinced this is a real person out there. He wasn’t the perfect gentleman, with no flaws like many books portray their knights in shining armor. Kepler had his armor, but the nics and cracks ran deep. I would definitely recommend this book!

Broken by Aleisha Maree
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is EVERYTHING! I almost threw my iPad several times. Looking at my husband like why can’t you be more like Knox.
Cried for the happy parts, screamed in anger for the sad. The descriptions and passion in this book had me swiping through instead of sleeping. I need the next book, hell I need several books.
If your looking for a bad boy with a heart of gold this is the book for you. It’s just amazing how one person can change your life so drastically.
Aleisha Maree you got a fan for life!!!
If you think this sounds good make sure you pick up the next book in the series!
Fractured Promises! its available on Amazon!

Shatter Me By Tahereh Mafi
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Soo let me start this by saying the beginning portion of this book was interesting but still a bit hard to follow, I expected and accepted this. I mean the girl is in an insane asylum so yea she is going to be a bit crazy. Warner belongs in the room right next to her in my opinion. But as the story progress you see that she is indeed not crazy but neglected and lonely, not sure how to act around other people now, only having herself to talk to can make anyone a little of kilter I assume.
BUT I was so SOOO disappointed with this book, let me tell you why. It was so unoriginal, Juliette was Rouge from Xmen, castle Mr. fantastic from fantastic four, Kenji the disappearing girl from Xmen (cant remember her name) , they are in a place that houses other people with gifts just like The school for gifted children in Xmen, There is a war brewing with people that want to use the “gifted” people for evil…There was even an Xmen movie where the world was in ruins, no food or shelter because of this war between the “gifted” people and those that wanted to experiment on them.
I understand that we take pieces of others work as inspiration for our own but for me this was just tooo similar.

Singe By Aly Martinez!! A Page Turner
Singe By Aly Martinez… A page turner!
In this book the wealthy heiress of the Park fortune, Rhion Park finds herself the object of her brother stalkage. She hires the guardian security to keep him away all the while keeping herself hidden away from the world. She spends her days locked in her apartment writing fiction novels about a night that happened years ago. The fire. A fire which left over 20% of her body in grafts and which she painted with tattoos. The fire that she was saved from by Jude.
Jude this is how I feel about you!
Reasons why I hate but love Jude.
1. He tries so hard to not be with Rhion because he believes it is his fault that she was hurt/ I love him because he knows he can’t get away from loving her no matter how hard he tries.
2. I hate that he hates his own scars, but I love that he thinks Rhion’s are beautiful.
3. I hate that he blames himself for her injuries in the fire even though he did save her life, but I love that he does not run to the hero role.
The Guardian Security Dynamic!
I love the whole security dynamic! Johnson is of course my favorite, even though he is a complete jerk off….lol.
Bomb Drop #1
So Johnson is gay? Bi? Confused? I swore that he and Rhion were together the way he was so tender with her in the beginning parts of the book. My jaw literally dropped when he told her that “he was always into women as long as there was a man on the other side!” I need a book about Johnson and his love life… I need to know!!
Bomb Drop #2
Leo knew the entire time that Rhion was a bit (MASSIVELY) obsessed with Jude and he still hired him to work for them? That could have gone bad in so many different ways!
Bomb Drop #3
So you are telling me that Pete is the bad guy this whole time!!! REALLY!!! THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME!!! I was so upset by this. I literally screamed at my e-reader!
Rhion has just spent the past 2 years of her life going through the ringer, she loses her father, she is injured in a fire and is saved by Jude only to turn around and throw him under the bus, she is willed her fathers entire estate and everyone including her step mother has their hands out, she gives the business to Pete her fathers assistant but still gets money whenever she wants. Her brother stalks her to the point she can not leave her own home, she only goes upstairs to hang with the guardian crew and back to her place. Come to find out the only person that she thought really cared about her, Pete, was the real villain! The biggest shocker of them all. APOLLO!! I just couldn’t believe it! The abrupt left that this book took left me speechless, breathless and with strained eyes from not blinking while I was reading! I did not want to miss a thing!
Jude and Rhions love made me so happy
[image error]
I loved how it wasn’t your typical yes I saved you so that means you are mine, love. It was a tortured I do not deserve you, I am the reason you are hurt love. And the loyalty that he has for her and vice versa, ugh just let me melt right here. My heart fluttered every time he called her butterfly
Questions I wish I could Ask the Author!
1. Where did you think of Jude! His personality is everything!!!
2. Will Rhion publish her books about Jude?
3. Will there be a book about Johnson? Maybe his time with a younger Rhion?
For my fellow book lovers:
Do you feel like Johnson and Alex had a thing or was that just me?
Do you think that Apollo is just playing her?
What are your thoughts on Pete, Did you all expect that? (I expected something just not that!)
The Candy Coated Books Rating!!!!
Story line (easy to follow):
5 freaking stars!!!
From the very first page I was freaking hooked! I didn’t want to put it down, the action never stopped,and I felt like each person had their own unique personality! The story itself was so different, and the twists!!! Yes!!
Characters (Likability)
5 Freaking stars!
There are a lot of characters but I loved them all! I loved how they all took care of Rhion even with her quirkyness, how they all tried to help her even though Apollo starting the fire was impossible. How close they all were as a unit! ONE MO GAIN!!! YES!!!
How bad ass was this book:
5 holy freaking stars!!!
I was ready for a good read but this was phenomenal! I have no qualms with this book at all!!! I love it! LOVE! LOVE!!!!
