Turbulent Desires


Book information:
date released: November 08, 2016
author: Melody Anne
genre: Romance 
Rating: 2 stars

I had high hopes for this book because I absolutely loved book one, but I was wrong.  This is book 2 in the Aviators series and it is about Maverick and Lindsey, Stormy's best friend from book one.  Lindsey and Maverick had a one night stand at Stormy's wedding (sound familiar) and a year later Lindsey is attacked at work.  She was nearly killed and this experience caused her to get PTSD.  Stormy and Cooper offers her place to stay and Maverick makes it his mission to show Lindsey that the world can be a beautiful place.  The plot in this story was strong, loving and it was different.  I feel that it was not nurtured enough to make this a great and interesting story.  Melody Ann is one of my favorite authors, but this book is not her best work.   I really hate to write these words, but….this book was a complete bore.  I do not know what happened with these two characters, but it took me longer than normal for me to read this book because I just was not interested in the characters. 

First off, Lindsey is the most confused character that I have ever read.  "does he like me or, wait, he is smiling at me and calling me beautiful, but I don’t think he like me, but oh wait, the look in his eyes tells me he likes me"…these are my emotions while reading this book.  The sad part is that I am not exaggerating about how confused Lindsey is. She kept asking herself the questions instead of asking Maverick.  Maverick and Lindsey were not interesting to me one bit. Two of the major things that turned me off with this book was Lindsey and her ability to be confused about the simplest things and the fact the writing is very cheesy.  The writing in this book felt like I was reading a Harlequin romance novel and I want to take some tortilla chips and dip in this book because it was so cheesy.  One of the things that I hate is when authors make an excuse for their characters to use unprotected sex.  I mean, I am not a prude and I love sex, but to use the line "Im on birth control. I have been for a long time because of my period."  I do not know how many times I have read those lines and it is kinda annoying.  If you are going to have unprotected, just do it or find another line to use.  Anyways after this ramble, I am still going to read the next one, but hopefully it is better than this one. :)

Riding Hard by Laura Landish

Author:  Laura Landish Release Date:   March 26, 2019 What is it about quiet, broody cowboys that drives us women wild?   Is it the foul mouth or the panty dropping tone?   Whatever it may be, it is in this book.   I think I lost my religion while reading this book because it was so dirty. Grrrr.!!   My inner cheetah, yes cheetah because they are my favorite cat, came out… šŸ˜»I mean Wow.!! Okay let’s get to the meat of this cowboy stew shall we. This is book 2 of the Bennett Boys Ranch series and this one is about the quiet, broody older brother, Mark.   I was so excited to read his story because he was so mysterious and who doesn't want to see a cowboy fall in love.   Hopefully you have read book 1 because I am about to drop a spoiler.   Okay…Mark's younger brother James from book 1 is getting married at   resort outside of town and this is where Mark meets Katelyn, an event coordinator.   Now I will not go t...

Saving Jake by Sharon Sala

Let me start by saying that I had no idea that this was book 3 in a series.  The book was so good that I thought it was a stand-alone novel.!!  This book tells the story of Jake and Laurel (which makes me think of "Arrow") and tells the story of how they became to accept each other's painful past and learning how to move forward with love.  This book is a wonderful example of storytelling and I enjoyed myself while reading this book.  The way the author tells this story makes it entertaining in a classy, simple way and I could not have asked for a better story.  This story gripped my heart and I was surprised by the chemistry that jumped off of the pages when it came to Jake and Laurel.  Laurel's daughter, Bonnie, just makes this book even more sweet than it already is.  I really miss when books were written like this and there is no specific point of view and it allows the author to explore different characters.  By allowing different charact...
