MALACHI

I wanted her like a friend, but she was off-limits, the sister of a fellow fighter. But because I was a bastard I didn’t care, even if I should. She was sweet and innocent, and I was this dirty asshole that had my fair share of women. She deserved better, but even knowing that I couldn’t help but go after her.

I wouldn’t even try and talk myself out of it.

VIOLET

I knew I shouldn’t want him. He was bad news, cocky, and had a reputation that should have made me run in the other direction. But there was something inside of me that was drawn to him. His bad-boy persona was like gasoline to the fire raging inside of me. If I were smart, I’d walk away.

I wasn’t smart when it came to Malachi.

But having him would cause problems, especially if my brother Rowdy found out, and I knew sooner or later he would. I had to ask myself if one night with Malachi was really worth all the repercussions that would come from it.

4 smutty stars ☆☆☆☆

Malachi is a filthy talking, arrogant bastard. He is sexy, tough and uses women for one thing and one thing only. That is until he sees Violet for the first time. He knows he has to have her, but she is chummy with a fellow fighter, Rowdy.

Violet sees Malachi going nose to nose with her brother Rowdy. She can't help but be attracted to him. Her brother is so overprotective of her and she knows any attraction between her and Malachi will never work. However, Malachi doesn't like the word NO!

Hot and sexy. Once Malachi is with Violet, there is noone else for him.

-OTT arrogant alpha man
-reformed manwhore
-sizzling hot sex scenes
-no cheating
-no ow/om drama
-HFN ending, but Rowdy has a book coming so hopefully we will hear more about this couple. (I need epilogues with HEA, preferably married with lots of babies )

2.75This was ok. Not too much story going on. They meet have sex and fall in love.
Its pretty safe I think.
I'm not sure if he was with anyone during the year he first seen her. he was a big manhoe. some mentions of him f***ing women and leaving them. he is a pretty cocky bastard as we should know from the title. lol
she had sex once I think and it was bad.
they always used condoms before .
too short of a read.

This book definitely kept me engaged, especially after that appetizing and piping, hot bathroom scene!

 photo image_zpswufx0dbi.gif

At twenty-one, Violet was under her brother's thumb and he kept a careful watch over her. The one person she was warned away from turned out to be the one person she could let her inhibitions go with.

Malachi was raunchy, conceited, and foul-mouthed. Besides being well-endowed and in physically good shape, there wasn't much to his character, but he was very amusing. I wasn't expecting much substance or depth in this story, but there was plenty of entertainment and one very quick action scene. This is a quickie read with fun characters. En-joyed!

This is the fifth book in the Taboo Shorts series. Malachi is an MMA fighter whose been with a lot of women, never the same one twice until he sees Violet at the gym with another fighter named Rowdy. He's instantly attracted to Violet and soon finds out she is Rowdy's little sister and told she's off limits. Malachi isn't going to let that stop him from taking what he wants.

He's "Co©|{¥" But She's Fall'n For Him AnyWay!

He's a fighter, which is a good thing... Cuz she's gonna lead him on a merry chase to claim her, & he'll need to fight for her heart. See his "Co©|{¥" reputation has proceeded him, & she's not giving in to any Ol' "Co©|{¥" guy!

Mega HEAT, Curvy Gals, Drama, Hunky Characters (Ohhh Yes I love those Alpha Males!) & all the feels we crave in Smexxy RoMANce~ It's the just the icing to place on a hectic day & escape from today's reality for a minute or two!

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review

So if I was rating this book solely on Smut then definitely 10++++ stars

This is literally if you into everything Insta, insta love, insta lust, insta everything else

Malachi is a MMA Fighter and so you can imagine what that is. Cocky arrogant dirty talking over the top alpha!



Violet meets him when she goes to the gym with her brother and Malachi instantly want her in his bed.
Violet has been having problems dating as her brother is a bit overbearing and overprotective
So when Malachi shows an interest she decides to just go for it

And what happens next is just a round of HOT SEX!

So definitely add to your list if you in the mood for some insta everything and some definitely HOT and dirty SEX!

Okay, a warning here! If you don't like raunchy, dirty , filthy, consensual sex, this is NOT the book for you! Right from the start Malachi has it bad for Violet. Even after he finds out that it's his best friends sister, he still had really nasty thoughts about what he wants to do to her. Violet may act like she's not interested but deep down inside, she is a dirty girl! She gives as good as she gets. Loved the story. It was short, hot and oh so sexy!! If you like dirty sex, get this book and have some ice water handy!! You'll need it!!

Too short and the H and h become intimate immediately which made no sense. The H sees the h, follows her into the bathroom, tells her "let's have sex", and the h allows him to penetrate her w/out protection. It was so random and frankly disgusting.

¿En serio?
Yo se que no puedo esperar leer un romance al estilo "Orgullo y prejuicio" en este tipos de libros, pero al menos las autoras podrían haber puesto un poquito de esfuerzo en no hacerlo parecer tan desagradable.
En primer lugar las escenas sexuales eran un asco, graciosas e irreales. Me da la sensación de que las autoras pusieron una porno y escribieron exactamente lo que veían. O que su vida sexual es nula y que escriben "imaginando" como es el buen sexo. Porque realmente no tienen idea como es un buen polvo.

El protagonista... sin comentarios...
dejaré algunos de sus pensamientos y palabras para que se hagan una idea:

'Women were there to be enjoyed, fucked, and not much else.'

...¿Ok?...

description

'...it had been over a week since I’d been inside her, and a few days since I’d seen her at the grocery store. I was pissed off, and none of the other bitches who came around me were even close to what I wanted. I didn’t want some infected pussy, I wanted Violet'

Típico, la heroina es la pura, la única que vale, la unica "limpia". Todas las demás son unas bitches infectadas con ETS.

¿Y se supone que yo debo sentirme horny por este personaje?

Anyway...Pero no podemos tener un héroe desagradable, arrogante y machista sin tener una heroína estúpida, infantil y que se moja con solo mirarlo, porque, seamos realistas, ¿que mujer inteligente, fuerte y decidida se sentiría atraída por un canalla así?

Violet:

'“Tell me your name,” he said.
“Tell me yours.”
“You’ve got a bit of bite to you, haven’t you, kitten? If you don’t want to tell me that’s okay. I don’t need a name to fuck you.”
Never in the whole of my life had I ever felt this much arousal, this much need.'


¿Really? ¿Ese tipo de tratos les calienta? WTF!! Si alguien me habla así tendría que hacer uso de toda mi fuerza de voluntad para no vomitarle encima.

Sinceramente, una mierda de historia. FIN.

Too many mistakes!

I might've only paid $1.06 for this book, but I still expect better writing and less mistakes!

The Amazon description stated 58 pages; I think, by my count, 17 mistakes is way too many! They range from misspelled words to incorrect placement of words to some major content issues. Here are a few examples: 1. She states his name in inner monologue before they appear to exchange names in conversation. 2. She stated she had only had sex one other time; she went on to be with male character basically 1 1/2 times. After their 2nd time together, she's teasing him with anal. 3. There was no mention of panties coming off, but suddenly he's shoving inside of her. 4. She specifically says to him about the bathroom door being unlocked, a few pages later she's walking over to unlock the door. My understanding was that it wasn't locked. 5. He asked why she hadn't called him; I wasn't aware that they had exchanged numbers.

I really wish these two authors would pull together better books!

This is the first book I read by these two authors combined. I'm a huge fan of smutty quick reads and this one was that. Sadly, it didn't do it for me. There's inconsistencies throughout and a few errors. I tried to overlook them but they stuck with me. I know going into a quick read that I don't expect to get every detail of these characters and that time sometimes jumps forward, but this one started saying he's watched her for a year. It didn't feel like that. Other areas were sex scenes, this is where I was stumped. How can his balls be slapping off her ass if he's hitting it from behind? It would be her clit, right? And at the end of one chapter she's on her hands and knees, the beginning of the next he tells her to get on them. It almost seemed as if one author wrote one chapter and the other wrote the next. It was an okay read. Was it worth the 99¢? Sure, if you can over look these parts. I will try their combined efforts again.

I really enjoyed this quick and steamy read. I like how Malachi goes from arrogant playboy to reformed loving boyfriend. I LOVE that Violet isn’t a pushover. And the fact that she let Rowdy & Malachi stew in jail was awesome. Plus the fact that Rowdy is overprotective of his baby sister! The little excerpt of his book makes me want to read it now!

Malachi is cocky and arrogant. He only wants women for one thing: to use them, to get off. He knows he’s good looking and he is popular with his career in fighting. When Malachi see’s Violet with another fighter, Rowdy. He is instantly jealous. He wants Violet for himself. When he confronts Rowdy, he finds out that Violet is Rowdy’s baby sister! But that doesn’t put him off. After an interrupted moment with Violet in the bathroom. Violet avoids Malachi, until one night he turns up at her house and things get steamy between the two of them.

Will Rowdy find out? Will Violet agree to a relationship with Malachi?

E o padrão foi por água a baixo, porque esse foi outro que gostei muito.

Malachi e Rowdy são amigos num clube de luta; e o que acontece quando seu amigo tem tesão pela sua irmã? E sim, tesão é a palavra certa.

Com uma combinação de instalove e química louca dos mais bizarros, é montada esse plot. Mesmo sendo assim eu gostei. Malachi é um cara arrogante e o deus das mulheres, porém o amor nunca foi sua coisa, mas ver a linda Violet no clube de luta com o irmão dela mudou a corrente. E para Violet o fluxo é o mesmo, mas ela não é tão fácil assim.

Gostei das atitudes da protagonista e as consequências que levam até o final feliz. Adorei. Mas eu fiquei esperando que a amizade de Malachi e Rowdy fosse mais forte e que rolasse um desentendimento maior entre eles. Até rolar um street fighter ia ficar legal kkkkkk

Hot, hot, hot!!!

I just love a female lead that's strong and of course capable of handling her s*#t. Malachi was beyond cocky but Violet was perfect for him! The only complaint I have about this book is that it seemed rushed in the end. I hope Rowdy's story has a little more stuffing in the middle if you know what I mean. I'm not disappointed that I bought this book!

Cute & Steamy

I really enjoy this set of short, Insta-love books by Jenika Snow & Sam Crescent. The storyline is well thought out and fully expressed in each short, which is sometimes hard to do. The steam in them could cause a kindle malfunction, which I like! I can't forget to mention how much I love
