RAMSAY by Mia Sheridan: Joint Book Review

Lydia De Havilland is shocked when Brogan Ramsay suddenly reappears in her life. Several years before, Brogan was the son of her family’s gardener, and the boy she hurt and betrayed. But Brogan is no longer the quiet, sensitive boy she remembers. Now he’s a man—gorgeous, powerful . . . and seeking vengeance.

Brogan Ramsay can’t let go of the memory of Lydia tricking him cruelly, leaving his heart shattered and his family penniless. And now he’s back to destroy her family the way his was destroyed. There’s only one problem . . . the girl who wounded him so badly years ago is now a woman who still has the power to render him breathless.

Ramsay is the story of betrayal and wrath, of the strength of regret and the power of forgiveness. It is the story of the thin veil between love and hate, and how more often than not, when we seek to inflict pain on others, the heart we wound is our own.

THIS IS A STAND-ALONE SIGN OF LOVE NOVEL, INSPIRED BY ARIES. New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

PEPPER & MICHELLE’S JOINT REVIEW

MICHELLE: Omg. Lovers.

PEPPER: Yep.

MICHELLE: RAMSAY is AMAZING. Like this book is classic MSher.

PEPPER: Couldn’t put it down.

MICHELLE: I’m not 100% sure I’ll be coherent in this review because I just loved this book so much. I never wanted it to end!!

PEPPER: Are we ever coherent when it comes to the Goddess Angel that is Mia Sheridan?

MICHELLE: No. No we aren’t, but we can try. So, Brogan Ramsay is finally able to seek the revenge on De Havilland family which includes Lydia De Havilland. Let me just pause for a moment and say that I LOVED how soon Mia gave us the reason that Brogan was so filled with a need for revenge. It made it possible for the reader to focus more on the present day journey.

PEPPER: Yes! I was just going to say that - I actually felt like this book was a gut punch from the prologue. And sometimes with Mia she glides us in to her stories. But it worked for RAMSAY and we needed it, because this is all about revenge and we needed to be pissed for Brogan and want revenge with him.

MICHELLE: Exactly. However, as much as Brogan wants to hate Lydia- the truth is, the line between love and hate is too thin. In fact - that line is a big part of this book.

PEPPER: Well is there ever really a line though? I mean they both fight for that damn line, but it’s like honestly they love each other so much that they both try to create the hate and anger because the love is SO scary and vulnerable.

MICHELLE: Yes, but I think it took a minute, especially for Brogan because he finally starts to see that Lydia isn’t the stuck up princess he felt she was after her betrayal. Then as the truth of the past and present come to light- Lydia and Brogan cross over that thin line time and time again.

PEPPER: And it’s so mother hugging torturous and beautiful. I love how real this whole part felt.

MICHELLE: But Brogan Ramsay. Omg. Lovers. You are going to fall in love with this broken, Irish hottie. There is something about his own pain and how it makes him as a lover and a friend and a person so easy to fall in love with.

PEPPER: OMG. I know. And the accent?!? I could hear him talking when that accent came through and it was pure bliss.

MICHELLE: And on the other side- Lydia is so amazing. I was completely in love with her once I got to know her as an adult. She was resilient and forgiving and so damn strong.

PEPPER: Yes. I had to battle for a minute to get behind her. Because I was So. Pissed. at how things ended in the prologue. But she went through her own hell. It wasn’t just Brogan. I loved how they both felt so sad for each other and what they went through. This book was such a great lesson in give and take and truly giving up your own agenda for the one you love. Gah! It’s just so damn good.

MICHELLE: Everything about this book was interesting and had me hooked. Books like RAMSAY are the reason MSher remains one of our favorites authors. We can’t wait for more from our bestie.

PEPPER: Mia Sheridan should be an obvious one-click for every person ever. Hopefully if you haven’t already gotten RAMSAY, we have convinced you that you need it immediately!

DAWN’S REVIEW

Our best friend of the program (BFOP), Dawn, is back with another guest review!!

In LAST MILE we meet Samantha Vargas and Benjamin “Bishop” Malloy.

Samantha’s father was murdered when she was little, right in front of her. Ever since she was small she’s always wanted to be like her dad, a D.E.A agent. However, instead of DEA, she chose ATF. One day her partner- Gavin decides to take a job as an undercover agent to try and take down the local MC club- Hells Raiders. Which is where we meet Bishop.

Bishop is a typical bad boy biker. Into fight, woman and fucking. The second he lays his eyes on Sam he’s a goner. But, because his new friend is dating Sam, she’s a no go.

I loved Bishop, he is a rough and tumble, take no shit bad boy with a heart of gold. His ability to lust after Sam but not make a move on her was amazing.

Something important happens that changes Sam and Bishop’s relationship, and I can’t tell you. Which sucks, because I totally had a

moment.

Without that moment though this book wouldn’t be what it is. Katie could not make these two characters come together the way they did. Doesn’t mean I’m happy about it though.

I definitely recommend reading this. The way the story flowed was perfect. The characters were put together flawlessly. It was light and easy, but had some moments of heartache. All around feel good book.

SHAMELESS by Gina L. Maxwell: Book Review

People say I’m shameless. They’re right.

I like my sex dirty. It takes a hell of a lot to tilt my moral compass, and I always follow when it’s pointing at something I want. That goes double when it points straight at the one girl in all of Chicago who’s not dying for a piece of me.

She’s all I can think about, and that’s a problem, because she wants nothing to do with me. But I’ve seen her deepest secrets, her darkest fantasies, and they match mine to a fucking T.

I want her. Bad.

Now I need to show her how good it can feel…to be shameless.

MICHELLE’S REVIEW

Dear. Sweet. Baby Jesus.

This book. So freaking SEXY!! Like- I am not kidding when I tell you I had to take what I will now refer to as “arousal breaks” and that I felt like a 15 year old boy discovering Playboy for the first time.

Just plan to read this one with your hands down your pants.

I think this series is going to be so much fun. It’s about 3 hotties who started a male stripping business in college that is now super successful and also allowed them to all have their own successful day jobs.

For Chase Danvers- that job as a construction worker works well for his alter ego- the sexy handiman.

When Jane’s best friend calls her a much needed “handiman” she thinks he’s there to fix her pipes. Well he is- but - not those pipes!!

When Chance discovers that Jane has a specific type of need to be controlled in the bedroom- he realizes that she is match made in sex heaven and won’t let her out of his sights. They embark on a highly sexual and erotic relationship.

Even though this book was sexier than anything Gina has ever written- she kept up with a really good story line. One of the best things for me was that Jane was working on her masters degree and her final paper focused on sexism. What I LOVED about that was Jane found herself struggling with being a feminist and hating the way the world makes women feel about their sexuality while finding herself being a total submissive and enjoying some light degradation in the bedroom. Jane- sister- I get you. Sometimes the toughest women like it different in the bedroom and I applaud a fictional character for looking at that, thinking about it and being totally ok with it!!!

As sexy and fun as this book is, there’s also a relationship that brews but will Jane and Chance be able to make things work when Chance’s job involves humping women while half naked??? Read to find out!
