Consumed
by J. R. Ward
Series: Firefighters (#1)
Published by: Gallery Books
October 2nd, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Format: Hardcover
Source: Purchased
Rating: 4 Stars 

     Anne Ashburn is a woman consumed...
     By her bitter family legacy, by her scorched career as a firefighter, by her obsession with department bad-boy Danny McGuire, and by a new case that pits her against a fiery killer.
     Strong-willed Anne was fearless and loved the thrill of fighting fires, pushing herself to be the best. But when one risky decision at a warehouse fire changes her life forever, Anne must reinvent not only her job, but her whole self.
     Shattered and demoralized, Anne finds her new career as an arson investigator a pale substitute for the adrenaline-fueled life she left behind. She doesn't believe she will ever feel that same all-consuming passion for her job again--until she encounters a string of suspicious fires setting her beloved city ablaze.
     Danny McGuire is a premiere fireman, the best in the county, but in the midst of a personal meltdown. Danny is taking risks like never before and seems to have a death wish until he teams up with Anne to find the fire starter. But Danny may be more than a distraction, and as Anne narrows in on her target, the arsonist begins to target her.


     Anne is a firefighter with something to prove. She is consumed by a past that she doesn't want to dwell on and an uncertain future after a fatal mistake almost cost her her life.

     Danny is a fellow firefighter that has a lot on his conscience and just keeps pilling thing on top of everything else because (in my opinion) of survivors guilt.

     I was engaged in this story from the very beginning. It has Ward's writing style of modern slang and multiple POVs. I liked how Anne's boss put her in her place after that first investigation because she really didn't want to be doing that job. I think it was something that needed to happen for her to realize that any job that involves the authorities in any capacity is an important job to bring justice to any type of situation, be it big or small.

     Anne wanted very much to help Danny realized that what happened wasn't his fault and that she was fine but I don't think anyone can come out of their head until they are ready to and without the help of professionals.

     The other side stories had me intrigued and I really hope we get an announcement soon for the next book on this series. I can't wait to delve deeper into this "brotherhood".

The Savior
by J. R. Ward
Series: Black Dagger Brotherhood (#17)
Published by: Gallery Books
April 2nd, 2019
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format: Hardcover
Source: Purchased
Rating: 4.5 Stars

     In the venerable history of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, only one male has ever been expelled—but Murhder’s insanity gave the Brothers no choice. Haunted by visions of a female he could not save, he nonetheless returns to Caldwell on a mission to right the wrong that ruined him. However, he is not prepared for what he must face in his quest for redemption.
     Dr. Sarah Watkins, researcher at a biomedical firm, is struggling with the loss of her fellow scientist fiancé. When the FBI starts asking about his death, she questions what really happened and soon learns the terrible truth: Her firm is conducting inhumane experiments in secret and the man she thought she knew and loved was involved in the torture.
     As Murhder and Sarah’s destinies become irrevocably entwined, desire ignites between them. But can they forge a future that spans the divide separating the two species? And as a new foe emerges in the war against the vampires, will Murhder return to his Brothers... or resume his lonely existence forevermore?


     Reading this book took me back to the beginning of this series where the story was more about the couple than the world building and politics. I fell in love with Murhder and Sarah even when we don't get a lot into the back story of him or get to know her before this book.

     We first see Murhder on Lover Mine; John Mathew and Xhex story; and we learn that he's gone mad after trying to rescue Xhex from the sympaths colony. There is not much else mention about him but there are some glimpses of him on one of the side stories from Lover Mine that makes you curious about him and his story.

     Sarah lost her fiance about a year back and the FBI shows up on her house asking some questions that make her think twice into how he died and what he was working on. This leads her to discover some things that make her question everything they had and who she works for.

     From the moment I picked this book up I was hooked and couldn't wait to see how these two were going to meet and how they were going to be accepted together in this world on vampires. I have to say that this book was a nice change from all this fighting and the constant angst in this series. That is not to say I don't love the other books.

     The JM and Xhex side of the story had me hooked too as this is one of my favorite couples and you don't see a lot of them throughout the series. I also loved that scene at the end (who's that woman?) and the revelation #whosyourdaddy.

     I can't wait for the next book in the series and see what else is in store for this band of warriors.

Real

Series: Real (#1
Published by: Gallery Books
May 28th, 2013
Genre: New Adult
Format: epub

Rating: 5 stars


     A fallen boxer.
     A woman with a broken dream.
     A competition... 
     He even makes me forget my name. One night was all it took, and I forgot everything and anything except the sexy fighter in the ring who sets my mind ablaze and my body on fire with wanting... 
     Remington Tate is the strongest, most confusing man I've ever met in my life. 
     He’s the star of the dangerous underground fighting circuit, and I’m drawn to him as I've never been drawn to anything in my life. I forget who I am, what I want, with just one look from him. When he’s near, I need to remind myself that I am strong—but he is stronger. And now it’s my job to keep his body working like a perfect machine, his taut muscles primed and ready to break the bones of his next opponents... 
     But the one he’s most threatening to, now, is me. 
     I want him. I want him without fear. Without reservations. 
     If only I knew for sure what it is that he wants from me?


     What can I said about this book, IT'S AN AMAZING BRILLIANT NOVEL! Can please male readers take this as an example or at least read it, so this way you will understand why women like to read this. Gentlemen's knows your biggest enemy ever. Katy Evans, I don’t know what were you thinking -well I know what were you thinking- but girl you seriously put on paper most girls and boys wet dreams.

     This novel is HOT, HOT, HOT.

     I love Remy. He’s not just a star, he’s the whole freaking universe to me. He’s the sun and every planet in this galaxy and others too. When the author starts describing Remy, OMG, can I ask one for Christmas, is something like you can stop reading. I just (how you can write to describe the way the author describes him, nothing compares) can describe him as hot, hot and hotter. Can I get his babies?

     Do you guys have a list of books boyfriends or other cases girlfriends (ujumm I do have one, in case you are wondering, so I am pretty sure you do too), he went to the top along with my Rey’aziel Farrow (Dreamy Sigh).

     About Brooke, I hated her, Nah, just kidding, this is my jealousy talking. She is the classic cliche girl and a little bit more. Let back to talk about Remy, she doesn't deserve any thought from me. Ok ok, let talk about her, but just a little bit. She describes how she sees Remy and how she tries to fight back. Honestly, jokes and jealousy apart, I will do the same. I really liked it the way she stopped everything because otherwise, she will be another one on his list (Self-respect before anything). There is so much sexual tension between them in the hole novel.

     After of course, they are together you can breathe again clearly, like literally. They share a perfect chemistry. You can feel it very deep in inside your skin.

     Katy, I love you and what you did was amazing. My recommendation for you its dump (not literally, but if you insist, in that case, we always accept donations), but seriously drop everything and jump straight to this book. This is 200% recommended and the other books as well.
