Recenzja do książki Milioner i Bogini autorstwa Penelope Ward i Vi Keeland

Recenzja do książki Milioner i Bogini autorstwa Penelope Ward i Vi Keeland



tytuł: Milioner i Bogini
oryginalny tytuł: Mister Moneybags
autorzy: Penelope Ward i Vi Keeland
data polskiej premiery: 15 styczeń 2019
egzemplarz recenzecki

Czy znajdzie się jakaś romantyczna dusza, kochająca książki tego gatunku, która nie poznała jeszcze twórczości Penelope Ward i Vi Keeland?
Jeśli tak jest to pamiętaj, że po tej książce lub każdej innej od tych autorek, staniesz się uzależniona od ich twórczości.
Historie które nam fundują są odświeżające, lekkie i z humorem, a do tego pełne romantycznych uniesień w towarzystwie wyrazistych bohaterów.
Taka też jest historia Dex'a/Jay'a i Bianki.
Zanim zaczęłam ją czytać, zastanawiałam się dlaczego wydawnictwo, postanowiło dać tytuł książce MILIONER I BOGINI? Oryginalny tytuł odnosił się jedynie do głównego bohatera 
" Mister Moneybags"( w wolnym tłumaczeniu pan worek pieniędzy).
Choć milioner było dla mnie w pełni zrozumiałe, tak drugi człon tytułu "bogini", był dość zastanawiający i jeszcze bardziej zachęcał do poznania historii. Teraz, kiedy już wiem, co wydawnictwo miało na myśli i zrozumiały jest dla mnie cały tytuł, cieszę się, że oprócz pozostawienia oryginalnej okładki, postanowili dodać w tytule również główną bohaterkę.
Autorki opisały historię z perspektywy obojga głównych bohaterów, dzięki temu, możemy jednocześnie wtopić się w ich myśli, rozterki i pragnienia.


Nikt nie lubi, kiedy słyszy na swój temat same obelgi, nawet Dex Truitt, CEO świetnie prosperującej firmy. Zwłaszcza kiedy wydostają się z ust reporterki i pięknej kobiety Bianki George. Utrzeć jej nosa i pozostawić w tym bezpodstawnym osądzie, czy dać jej szansę poznać prawdziwego człowieka, który kryje się pod kosztownym garniturem od Armaniego? Nieprzemyślane decyzje, podjęte pod wpływem impulsu, zawsze kończą się tragicznie. Czy będzie tak i tym razem?
Splątane ścieżki głównych bohaterów, śmieszne i szybkie riposty, dwuznaczne sytuacje, a to wszystko w totalnym mroku windy. To wystarczyło, abym chciała pozostać w świecie Bianki i Dex'a na dłużej. 

Mieli spotkać się w celach służbowych, ale los miał dla nich inny pomysł. Postanowił skomplikować ich życie i patrzył zza rogu, z chytrym uśmieszkiem, jak sobie z tym poradzą.
Cała historia w książce Milioner i Bogini, była  świetnie przemyślana przez autorki, a każdy drobny jej szczegół, dopracowany do perfekcji.
Czytałam ją praktycznie "na jednym wdechu", gdyż oprócz bogatych opisów sytuacji, mamy w niej mnóstwo dialogów, które rozbawiały mnie do tego stopnia, że musiałam powstrzymywać się, aby nie zaśmiać się na głos. 


Wyobraźnia Ward i Keeland jest niesamowita. Tworzą bardzo wyraziste  i charyzmatyczne postacie, a ich umiejętność wybrnięcia z każdej sytuacji, daje czytelnikowi niebywałą przyjemność w czytaniu książki, a uwierzcie mi, że nie były to dla nich, łatwe  sytuacje.
Bohaterowie wpadli w wir kłamstw, które miały być pozornie niewinne i kiedy zaczęły przybierać coraz większy rozmiar, stanęli przed wyborem, jak wybrnąć z nich i nie stracić drugiej osoby.
Nawet nie spodziewałam się tylu zwrotów akcji i ciągłych nowości wprowadzanych do fabuły. Każdy kolejny rozdział pozwalał poznać głównych bohaterów od innej strony, zwłaszcza Dex'a. Znajomość z Bianką sprawiła, że przeszedł ogromna metamorfozę swojego życia. Zaczął uczyć się i eksplorować nieznany dla niego do tej pory świat. 
Kiedy myślałam że już wszystko wiem, a historia zaczęła się klarować między bohaterami, autorki postanowiły wyciągnąć kolejnego asa z rękawa.
Ku mojemu zaskoczeniu, zaczęły pojawiać się tajemnice, które nigdy nie miały wyjść na światło dzienne. 
Bianka i Dex znaleźli się w labiryncie uczuć, w którym ciężko było im odnaleźć prostą drogę, jednak rosnące uczucie między nimi przyciągało ich do siebie niczym magnez. Teraz muszą odnaleźć prawdziwych siebie pośrodku tych wszystkich kłamstw i tajemnic.

Blog Tour with Deal with the Devil by Meghan March, first book of Forge Trilogy

Blog Tour with Deal with the Devil by Meghan March, first book of Forge Trilogy



From New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller
Meghan March comes the first book in a new riveting romance trilogy
filled with international high-stakes, dangerous hidden agendas,

and—in true March fashion—plenty of twists and turns.


title: Deal With The Devil #1
series: Forge Trilogy
author: Meghan March
release date: January 15, 2019
ARC kindle edition

synopsis:
"You can put that man in a suit, but he'll never be tame." 
One look at Jericho Forge and I knew the rumors were true. He was a predator, and he had set his sights on me.
I knew better than to bet more than I could afford to lose that night. I knew better than to bet myself. But desperation leads to bad decisions, and I thought there was no way I could lose.
I was wrong. 
Now I have no choice but to make a deal with the devil.


Meghan March, You just went in 2019 with the huge bang!!

 
When Deal with the Devil dropped on my kindle I read it in one day. This story just grabbed my mind heart and soul and still held it on and I think it will not let go for a looong time.
When I was holding this book in my hands, first thing that appears to my eyes was that amazing cover. 
I knew that author as always will create great story with complex characters but this time she did a PERFECTION.  
Deal with the Devil introduced us into the Forge Trilogy. We're getting to know Jerycho Forge and India Baptiste.

India Baptiste put everything on one card and made a deal with the powerful man. She sold her soul to the billionaire devil in three part suit and has to pay back the debt. But with what cost?
 She was great tricky player. With her strength and huge courage, she was dealing with the man like Forge quite well. Her smart mouth and sassy attitude with the fast sharp replay make me love her even more. Did she become a challenge for Jerycho?

"He takes without permission or apology"


"I don't think you have the first clue what a man like me wants, Ms. Baptiste"

Everything about Jerycho Forge screams danger money and power. He was like sophisticated pirat with his marine empire. He was swagger and arrogant bad a**alfa but passionately demanding as well and I love everything about him. The way he was fighting what's his with no much effort and his confidence,  he was melting my heart.
As always Meghan March just aim me with this hero and Jerycho Forge become my new favorite book boyfriend.
Their acquaintance begun in unusual circumstances.
Together they were like a fire, burning everything around into the ashes. Their steamy chemistry and lust was just mind blowing to the point that small blush was appearing on my cheeks.

This was dynamic pace and quick page turn book and I was devouring every single word and telling to myself "only one more chapter" but wanting more all the time until the very end. Author incredibly twisted this story and made it so unpredictable that I already can't wait for part two. When I was thinking that I figured out something.... boom.... Meghan just showed me why she’s named as queen of cliffhangers. Author knows how to pull me into her world, enchant me and shock me with her words and stories. She's my automatic one click author because she NEVER disappoint me with any of her books but getting better every time. Her stories travel straight to my heart.
I've got a total book hangover don't mentioning about huge cliffhanger as well and waiting impatiently for book two LUCK WITH THE DEVIL because Meghan just warmed us up with this story.

Blog Tour with Stark Saga #6 Damien by J.Kenner

Blog Tour with  Stark Saga #6 Damien by J.Kenner

I am Damien Stark. Do you want to see inside my head? 
Careful what you wish for.

Damien, an all-new full-length novel in the wildly popular Stark Saga, from New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner is available now! 




title: Damien #6
series: Stark Saga
author: J. Kenner
ARC kindle edition


Blurb:


I am Damien Stark. From the outside, I have a perfect life. A billionaire with a beautiful family. But if you could see inside my head, you’d know I’m as f-ed up as a person can be. Now more than ever.


I’m driven, relentless, and successful, but all of that means nothing without my wife and daughters. They’re my entire world, and I failed them. Now I can barely look at them without drowning in an abyss of self-recrimination.

Only one thing keeps me sane—losing myself in my wife’s silken caresses where I can pour all my pain into the one thing I know I can give her. Pleasure. 

But the threats against my family are real, and I won’t let anything happen to them ever again. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep them safe—pay any price, embrace any darkness. They are mine.

I am Damien Stark. Do you want to see inside my head? Careful what you wish for.



I fell in love with the story about Nikki and Damien long time ago. I was so happy and excited when I've heard that J.Kenner wrote more about them, especially from Damien POV. It was great to come back to their world like a visit from an old best friends.
Note: If you haven't read previous Stark Saga books, then you should start from the beginning to truly understand whole story. There can be some spoilers in my review.


This time I could drown into Damien's head and see his deep fellings, fears and worries. So many things happened in his life. Once he was a successful businessman but now he is foremost husband and a father, and for him the most important thing is to protect his family.
This book start from the moment where Damien and Nikki reunited with their kidnapped daughter.
Damien was still struggling with his demons which were tearing him apart. It was so hard for the proud man reconciled with defeat. 
After all they've been through, safety of his family was his main goal.
He didn't know how to deal with the guilt which was consuming him from the inside. He felt like his whole world is slipping through and he's losing control. 
But dark clouds once again gathering around him and his family. Would he have enough strength to fight it back?? 


This book reminded me why Damien has been one of my favorite book boyfriends.
He was a man so powerful, confident and sexy as hell but I could see more of him in this story with his devotion and love to his family.
Whole plot was so emotional. Damien and Nikki's relationship was as always full of passion, lust and love. They were supportive to each other and I swooned during the reading over their connection.

It was so nice to read how their relationship grew and flourished.
J.Kenner did it again! She knows how to surprise and arouse us with her book. Whole story keeps us on the emotional edge and don't let go until the very end.

Excerpt: 

He started to lash out. To pound his fist against the door frame. But he pulled back, not wanting to wake Nikki or the two little angels curled up next to her in their bed. His wife. His precious little girls. 
His family. 
As much as he loved Nikki, he hadn’t truly understood how full his heart could be until he’d held Lara in his arms for the first time. And though he hadn’t expected it was possible, his heart had expanded even more when he watched Anne’s birth two years ago and saw her draw that first breath. 
Every day, his daughters looked up at him with wide, guileless eyes. And every day, he felt that punch in the gut. A fear that he couldn’t live up to the trust he saw there. That somehow, someway, he would fail them. Not in the way his own father had failed him. But in some other, fundamental way. 
And that’s exactly what happened. 
He thought of Rory, that fucker who’d taken his child. Of Nikki, broken and huddled in the closet with a blade, blood streaming down her fair skin, cutting for the first time in years. The first time since he’d demanded that she come to him—to him—when she needed the blade. 
So many times, she’d done exactly that. Gone to him when the burden of the world had been too much to bear. When she needed the pain to find her way back. And he’d always been there for her, his need as potent as hers. Because he had to be the one to take her there. To slide down with her into that sweet place where sensual pleasure crossed over into pain. Where need and desire meshed, merging into euphoria. Where they could both cling to that one small measure of control in a world that was spinning off its axis. 
How many times had they saved each other? Their needs meshing as perfectly as their desire? 
How many times had he held her close as they fought their demons together? And yet this time—when the worst parts of hell had swallowed them whole—she hadn’t come to him. Instead, she’d put a razor-sharp length of stainless steel against her own flesh, and she’d drawn her own blood for the first time in years. 
All because he’d failed her. Because it was his mistakes that spawned the demons.
Because for the first time in their relationship she hadn’t trusted him to save her. And why should she, when he’d already failed so spectacularly? 
He thought of that. Of the scars on her legs. Of the fresh wound that mocked him still. 
He thought—and his stomach twisted with pain and self-loathing. 
Mostly, he thought of Anne. His precious girl, who’d been alone and scared for days. 
They’d gotten Anne back. They’d talked about Damien’s choices. The risks he’d taken to find their daughter and her kidnapper. They’d worked it out, and they were back on keel. And he knew in his gut that Nikki was strong enough to survive the whole ordeal. 
But that didn’t change the simple, basic truth. 
He’d failed. 
Roughly, he massaged his palms over his face, then looked again at his girls, curled up together, safe and asleep. 
Safe.
For now, at least. 
But for the first time in a long time, Damien felt as if the shadows that had plagued his past had returned to haunt him, bringing harsh recriminations and fresh dangers. 
He squared his shoulders, steeling himself. He was strong. More than that, he had resources. He had means. And he damn well had the determination to keep those encroaching horrors at bay. 
Most of all, he had a life—a family—worth fighting for. 
He was fucking Damien Stark. 
He’d failed once. 
He wouldn’t fail again.

Blog Tour with Faking It by K. Bromberg

Blog Tour with Faking It by K. Bromberg

Faking It never felt so good in this red-hot new standalone by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg--available now!


title: Faking It
series: standalone
author: K. Bomberg
release date: January 8, 2019
ARC kindle edition



K. Bromberg grabbed my heart with this book and I'm still in the embrace of it.
It was also that kind of a book that I just couldn't stop reading but grinning to myself and melting at the same time. This story was so refreshing with whole range of emotions and huge amount of romance.


Wave of accidental events cross path of Harlow and Zane and from that moment they couldn't stop their fate. 
Zane was an arrogant Alfa male, confident with his big ego. He was a wealthy  businessman used to getting people to do everything he wanted and women lying at his feet. 
So imagine how shocked he was when one woman resisted his charm. Harlow just knocked him of his feet with her assertive attitude. 
I love books where main characters bantering with each other in a funny way and you can feel this tension between them almost as goosebumps crawling all over your skin.
They were smitten with each other but didn't want to admit it.  Their chemistry was also so strong that I was saying to myself "oh come on, just kiss her already"lol.


Misunderstanding, challenge and long trip in the bus with fake relationship is that how this story goes.
There was everything about faking it but will it lead the main characters to something real since neither of them believed in fairy tales and love?


K. Bromberg knows how to pull readers into her story. She make me smile and cry and smile through the tears at the same time with this book. I love the plot which leads me through winding paths, I love all characters whom perfectly fulfill whole story and I love Harlow and Zane for their strong, confidential and amusing attitude.
This story was an incredible and emotional journey with unexpected twist of action at the end that I didn't wanted to get to the "final bus stop".

Excerpt
“I have connections.” Brilliant, Zane. Fucking brilliant. That’s how you get her to not run away from you? By giving her a sleazy line?  “Maybe I could help you find something.”
“I couldn’t care less about your connections.” She hangs her head and when she lifts it, I watch her reign in the pride I feel like a dick for bruising.  “I’m sorry. That was rude. Like I said, thank you.” She holds up the papers and offers a reticent smile. 
“Look . . .” I take a step toward her, more than aware that I don’t want her to go just yet and questioning why I’m even bringing this up. “I have an event I’m holding at the end of the week. You should come. I could introduce you to some people. There might be some job opportunities there.”
“Thanks, but no thanks. I’m not that kind of girl.” The roll of her eyes has me realizing how she took my comment.
My laugh makes my dog lift her head. “That’s not exactly what I meant, Harlow. I run a matchmaking website, not an escort service.”
“Good to know. So basically that means you cherry pick the women you want to date after you scope out all their information. I assure you now I can sleep better at night knowing this.”
“You’re exhausting.” And she is, but in the most fascinating of ways.
“You’re one to talk.” She crosses her arms over her chest and lifts her eyebrows. 
I hold my hands up. “All I was trying to say is connections matter in this town. You and I both know that. My event . . . there is going to be a lot of people there. Industry people,” I say more than aware I just let it slip that I looked her up and know she works in the industry. 
“Good. Great. Can you go now?” 
But there’s a crack of a smile on her face. A chink in her defensive armor that tells me I’m getting somewhere.
“You have to take opportunities when they present themselves.” She doesn’t say anything but the slight smile remains. “Zane Phillips. Nice to meet you.” I stick my hand out. She looks down at it and nods but doesn’t shake it. 
God, she’s stubborn.
And damn gorgeous.
“And you’re Harlow Nicks.”
“Considering you had my electric bill, I guess that means you know how to read.”
“I do.” I nod. “And I also have your email address from your interview paperwork.”
“Should I worry that you’re stalking me?”
I shake my head and sigh. “I’ll email you the information about the party—”
“—don’t bother—”
“—it’s on Friday night. Cocktail attire. Lots of networking.”
“I won’t read it.”
I flash a megawatt smile at her and then turn to walk away. “Yes, you will.”
And she will. 
It’s rare that a woman resists me. She’s trying but I’ll win in the end.  It just seems for the time being that I have my work cut out for me.
I’m a man who always has an end goal in mind. Always. 
There’s no point in setting a goal if you don’t plan on smashing it. 
Question is, what in the hell am I aiming for when it comes to Harlow Nicks?
