I'm So Emotional Because of The Book of Eve by Julia Blake

Before I get to the review, I want to let everyone know, I do reviews on books I choose on my own.  However, because of facebook's new rules, I will allow someone to send me a request for a review because I am seeing less books on my timeline.  You can do that through messaging my facebook page.  I can not promise that I am going to review your book in a timely fashion or at all.  I will let you know if I put the book on my to be read.  I have a long to be read list but if your book is interesting to me I will read it.  My book tastes are eclectic and I read almost everything.  The reviews are honest reviews and I don't accept payment for them to keep them that way.  

Now for the review:

The Book of Eve came across my timeline a few months ago and I put it on my to be read list.  From the moment I opened this book my heart was pounding because it threw me back into my teen years when I discovered V.C. Andrews.  This book has all of the gothic mystery that made me realize how much I wanted to be a writer.  The twists and turns in it had me constantly guessing what was happening.  The symbolism is strong in this story.  Every single thing means something that only comes to light when the author wants it to be known.  Pay attention to everything, including the chapter titles.  The characters are multi-dimensional allowing the reader to peel back layer after layer of their personalities and pasts.  I love Eve, Scott, Annaleise, Mimi and all the others.  The Book of Eve had me knee deep in emotions and tissues.  Warning: You will need more than one box for this story.  The descriptions are vivid and Julia Blake's writing creates nostalgia that reminded me of days past even though the story is modern.  It is a book that after finishing, I held my Kindle to my chest, dazed with my heart pounding.  Julia Blake surprised me because usually I can figure out what's going on in a story within the first five chapters.  I did not figure out what happened until the end.

So, I recommend this book to anyone who likes gothic family dramas and mystery.  I do not recommend this for children because there are some scenes which have tragedy and sex.

Lords of Carnage by Daphne Loveling Series Review

Most of you probably don't know this but I don't have authors contact me for reviews.  I choose what I review by what interests me.  However, I do contact the author after the first reviews because I'm an author myself and I would want to know any reviews I may receive.  Also, this means my reviews are always honest.  I have found a lot of books that have become my favorites just by scrolling through amazon or by seeing them on facebook.  With facebook's new rules, I want to reach out and tell any authors that they may send me book suggestions through my messenger.  This doesn't mean that I'll choose your books but if it interests me, I'll put it on my to be read list and it will get its spot.  Also, I do both series review and single review and I will let you know when your books are being reviewed and what type of review it is.  That being said, onto my series review for the awesome story-weaver Daphne Loveling.
If you can't tell from my reviews of the books before, Daphne Loveling has cemented her role as one of my favorite authors.  The Lords of Carnage is action packed, full of family love and full of scorching hot men and strong women.  It is a rare find in the M.C. Romance genre to find every element moving into such a wonderful series from beginning to end.  From the very first book, she had me hooked and continued catching me in her vibrant storytelling.  Her character building is above par, making her characters both relatable and believable.  There is true emotion in her books and I can tell she takes a great amount of care with her story.  I will be recommending these stories for the foreseeable future.  Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I was still recommending these books on my deathbed.  (Let's hope that's not for a long time.)  I promise I will be reviewing any new books in this series and I will most likely be reviewing more of her books in her other series.  I want to thank Daphne Loveling for her books.  They have been truly entertaining.  I mean...I couldn't even just give them five stars.  They are worth more than that.  Anyone writing an M.C. Romance, take notes.  This is how you do it.  I am absolutely thrilled with the Lords. 


Series Rating:  There isn't a number high enough.  They've earned a place on my bookshelves.  (I'm picky about what goes there and she is now one of my recommended authors.     

This Girl Needs an Avenger Like Angel by Daphne Loveling

Holy hotness!  Daphne Loveling just sent me on a wild ride that only the president of the Lords of Carnage M.C. could take me on.  I can not express how happy I am with this book...But I'm gonna try.  Anyone who has read the Lords of Carnage books knows Angel is hot as Hades and cocky with a sinful grin.  These qualities are amped to the max in this book as he takes the helm as the president of the Lords.  I am absolutely thrilled that his lady is none other than Jewel who has been my favorite side character until now.  She's taking center stage in all her sassy but classy glory and now, I have a new favorite side character, Jude...Her brother!  Jewel is the perfect partner for Angel because she takes none of his crap and can stand toe to toe with him without flinching.  Jewel has never been a wallflower.  Nope!  This girl is a wildflower.  

As always, Daphne does an excellent job of making every aspect of the town and characters real.  There is a real sense of family among the Lords and as I may have mentioned, that is important to me.  If I expected her to slow down on the action, I was wrong.  If anything, the action has become even more explosive for this book.  So, anyone who needs a burst of adrenaline, you will get it from Angel.  

The only problem I have with this book is now I'm having problems figuring out who my favorite Lord is.  I think I'll have to re-read them all to figure it out.  

I recommend this book to anyone who loves protective alpha males, family that would die for you and scorching hot bedroom play.  I do not recommend this for anyone who is under the age of 18 because of the mouth-watering naughtiness.
