Midnight Blue – L.J.Shen

Alex Winslow is an asshole, he knows it, the world knows it, but for some reason they all still want a piece of him. He just wants drugs and alcohol. Getting ready for his next tour, he’s sober and trying to pick up the pieces of his career. Enter Indigo, his babysitter, his saviour. But Alex doesn’t want a babysitter which is when the great chemistry ensues. He’s either going to make her quit or fuck her, there are no other options. But Alex doesn’t count on her being as equally stubborn as him.

I’m not usually a fan of rockstar books but I do love books with great chemistry and amazing characters. This book has both so the rockstar element was massively enhanced. My only tiny issue was some of the British slang. A guy like Alex doesn’t seem the type to say bum so that for some reason seemed a little off to me, but trust me when I say L.J.Shen gets better with each book, it isn’t an exaggeration. This woman is amazing and so is the book. If you want a messed up, scorching hot alpha who can’t resist the temptation in front of him, then this is for you. The push and pull is incredible!

He saved her once. Now he must put everything on the line, including his heart, to do it again.

Angelo Broussard, or Snake, as he is known to his SEAL team, is plucked from elite sniper training to go on a top secret C.I.A. operation. The goal is to capture the one man on the planet he most wants to put a bullet in but the op involves the one woman he can’t forget.

Dr. Ruby Obermeier, mega rich heiress and abduction survivor, has returned to her job as an E.R. doctor in Miami but is haunted by the events that took place on the day of her rescue from terrorists in Somalia. She works extra shifts so she doesn’t have to spend too much time alone in her apartment. That’s when her demons find her and drag her back to the Somalian outbuilding where she was battered and broken. She knows she needs to heal but she doesn’t know how. She needs someone to help her find her way back to herself but the last person she expects that to be is the sexy new security guard at the hospital.

Ever since Snake held Dr. Ruby Obermeier in his arms in Somalia, he hasn’t been able to get her out of his mind. He can’t believe he now gets to spend his days (and nights) watching over and protecting her. The only thing is, he can’t tell her who he is, who he really is, and how much danger she’s in.

The weeks turn into months and sizzling attraction turns into something much deeper. However, the threat against Ruby grows every day. Snake vows to keep her safe, even if it means he risks losing her forever.

Generation X – Douglas Coupland

Set in the early 1990’s we see Dag, Claire and Andy try to navigate their life by telling stories.

Coupland’s novel is a kind of social commentary about the “disaffected and directionless” generation after the baby boomers and honestly, I found it pretty boring. To be fair to Coupland, he really does capture this kind of listless energy within the narrative and there’s a lot of interesting stylistic choices that I’d get a kick out of analyzing. As an everyday read though, its very meh and I’m not really sure why its been given the cult status it has.

Great for study, not so sure about anything else.

Cover Reveal: The Lakes – Amanda Dick

Genre: Romantic Women’s Fiction/Family Saga
Release date: 30 March 2018

A noble deed, a rash decision and an ordinary day turns into a day one family will never forget.

December 1997, Navigator Bay, New Zealand. Eight-year-old Eli Lake has a strong moral compass and a rebellious heart. When he is honour-bound to defend his younger sister Becca by punching the school bully in the playground, he doesn’t stop to think about the consequences. Unfortunately the headmaster doesn’t seem to understand that Eli is no snitch. While waiting outside the headmaster’s office as the school calls his mother, Eli makes a split-second decision to run.

If there is one person in his world he can count on to back him up, it’s Nanna. But on his way to Nanna’s house, he passes the cemetery. Inside, a girl in a white dress places wildflowers on headstones. In a single heartbeat curiosity overpowers urgency and a day that began as ordinary is destined to end in tragedy.

Amanda Dick’s exciting new series begins with this prequel novella, an introduction to the Lake family. It’s as nostalgic and innocent as it is heart-breaking. How can you forgive when you can’t forget?

Pet Sematary – Stephen King

I think the best word to describe Pet Sematary is sinister. From the novels outset there’s an impression, an underlying feeling that something evil is going to happen. The narrative is disquieting, with a slow building terror that grips you until the very end. But Pet Sematary is most frightening because the story is so relatable, and in this way I’m reminded of Freud’s theory of the uncanny: ‘that class of frightening which leads back to what is known of old and long familiar’. We can all imagine our selves in Louis’ position and given the option, I believe we would all take that chance…

Stephen King is a master of his craft.

Scandalous by L.J.Shen

This review is going to be short and sweet – you already know how much I love Leigh Shen, you know that I think she’s an amazingly talented author who gets better with each and every book and so there’s not much point repeating all of that! I love L.J, simple as. Scandalous was a great read and I finished it in one sitting, smashing through it. If I had to rate my favorite Hotholes in order I think it would go something like this…

1. Dean
2. Vicious
3. Trent
4. Jamie

This was ridiculously hard to decide upon and I also have a bit of a thing for Bane. I can’t wait to see what L.J comes up with for him. I lurveees a badboy.

I also love books that play with the age difference, and with Scandalous it just added to the chemistry Edie and Trent have. He’s this suave, cool and collected older guy while she’s warm blooded, caring and very passionate. They both have issues and dramas that add to the plot and I think Shen is very gifted at creating scenarios which allow you to get to know Trent and Edie more. I do wish that Trent had tried to connect with Luna a little harder. I know it was part of the character development but I was in love with that little girl and wanted more for her.

Overall this was another 5 star read and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Shen to anyone looking for a bad boy, steamy as fuck and at times funny read.
