The Lies Between the Lines (The Fontaine... Nope sorry. No can do. The heroine had sex with this hero's brother in book one....REALLY?? Couldn't we get a different heroine? Plus the heroine from book one walked in on them in book one. So now she gets to sit across the table from the woman who had sex with her husband.

***eBook available for free on Amazon***

It took me a mere paragraph to realize the heroine is an idiot. But, in the spirit of sisterhood, I decided to give her a chance. However, she turned into an even bigger idiot by the end of the first chapter, and that final scene was it for me. I'm done after one measly chapter of a short story.

I have no idea why she was at the bar, because aparently the explanation comes in chapter two, but I don't care. Big mistake that, posponing the explanation for the heroine going all idiot in a bar. Especially when the heroine goes all over-the-top idiot.

Sure, it was free, but I don't care...Moving on.

The Sweet Taste of Sin - Ember Casey Ok, so I am having a problem rating this book. 90% of it was a solid 4 star read for me, but at the beginning when the h walks in on the H having sexy times with his brothers fake fiancee pretty much cast a shadow over the rest of the story! It was all I kept picturing the WHOLE DAMN BOOK.

Also, and I really, really, really hope I am wrong, but from the sounds of the last chapter I am afraid that for the next book (Luca's story) it sounds like he may be interested in the fake fiancee more then just as a rouse, and if that is the way it is going that would mean the fake fiancee will have slept with Dante, and also be in Ashlyns face. Ew, just ew!

So ya, confused on a rating party of one here!

Currently free on amazon.

 

Not bad at all. I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. (Sorry, but I've been burned by kindle freebies before, so I go into each one rather dubiously now.) Though I'd have probably enjoyed it a bit more if I'd been able to better connect with the two leads, Lily and Calder. I liked them both well enough, but I wish the book had been a bit longer in order to flesh them out a bit more. Though, there's a second book that I'm assuming does that.

 

On that note, the ending is more of a HFN than a HEA, though I could definitely see this couple getting their HEA. No huge cliffhangers or anything like that, either...which is a point in the author's favor for me.

 

Also this is more an erotic romance, and the steamy scenes are appropriately steamy, without (thankfully) veering into ridiculousness.

 

I'm definitely considering purchasing the next in the series just to see how their relationship develops further.
