My rating: 5 of 5 stars
OMG !!! I could not put this book down. Once I started reading I could not put it down. M. Dauphin and H.Q. Frost have taken their two different but, amazing writing style and have created one epic read. I just love these two author. I could not wait to get FOR3VER into my greedy hands I knew this was going to be an amazing read, but I did not expect this. This story went above and beyond my expectations.

This book completely shattered me, then piece by 
piece put me back together again.
As I read, I fell in love with these young kids. It all started at the age of 6 when Ryley moved in next door to the Porter boy's Gage, Liam, and, their grand mother. The three of them became inseparable vowing to be best friends forever. Two years later at the young age of 8 Liam had realized what love was and,  he love his best friend Ryley Reynolds, and vowed to always protect her.

* Excerpt *
   "Are you sad, Ry?"
   "Yes," she squeaked, nodding her head.
    So I shoved my face at her. I smacked her with my nose, but got
 my lips to hers and I kissed her as fast as I could. My heart was a
 jackhammer in my chest and my stomach felt like a popcorn machine.
   "Are you happy now?" I nervously shouted at her.
   "Why'd you do that?" She rubbed her face where my nose smacked her.
   "So you'd stop crying. I think you should be my girlfriend now."


Shortly after, things became complicated for Liam and Gage. With the return of their uncaring mother , her abusive boyfriend and, their half sister the boys had to endure some pretty tragic events. Fearing for Ryley's safety. Liam had to put distance between them.

* Excerpt *
      That was one of the worst days of my life. I lost Ryley as my girlfriend
    and I lost my dog to a sadistic fuck  that I swore I'd kill if he hurt my
    sister. I lost my trust in people and happiness was a rare gem in my
    house anymore after I realized just how much the world could hurt you.
    Gage was with me, the less I saw of Ryley, the more he started to talk to
    me, but we didn't talk about pointless kid things anymore. We talked
    about ways to get back at Rod; we talked about whose ass we were
    going to kick in school if they looked at us funny. We talked about why
    you can't love a girl without getting yourself hurt and why I needed to
    let Ryley go. If I couldn't protect myself, I couldn't protect her.

Watching these young kids fall in love and, fall apart was intense and heartbreaking. This is an emotional torturing kind of read.

The love, loss, pain, sensual, heartbreak, awakening, the moving on, all kinds of emotions was stirred and blended very well in the story. I cried like a baby throughout my journey with this read, but even during some of the worst times, I still was able to smile even though my heart was completely broken.

I can not praise these two authors enough who has come together and created such a exceptionally, beautifully well written story.
As much as this book made me cry and, crushed my heart on so many occasions, it left me deliriously happy.

Likes:
✔The character development in this story is incredible.
✔Beautiful happy ending.
✔no cliffhanger!
✔Duel Point of View
✔The gut wrenching emotion was replaced by many happy tears.
✔It is a unforgettable read
✔The music was right on with the way you saw these two.
✔Sneak Peak to "Bang" the funny sexy story of Jack and Jenny

Dislikes
✔(I cant not think of a single things I disliked about this read)

I was graciously given an ARC copy of FOR3VER for an honest review...
My suggestion is buy this book you will not regret it.

5 Stars Review ~~ Alpha Suits: Suits & Shades




My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Alpha Suits: Suits & Shades by M. Dauphin
 Nicole Hite, H.Q. Frost, Marilyn Faith, Fallen Kittie, Mia Villano

Each of these authors have done a wonder job with their short stories.. I devoured this book in one setting..

One Love to Obey by H.Q Frost I will say you have left me with a lot of questions where Ian, Lilith and Justin are concerned.. The wait on the next book is driving me insanely crazy.. Loved Derek and Caroline's story. Nice little twist I didn't see that coming....

Just One Night by M. Dauphin loved Adam and Annalise didn't want it to end.. I was thriving for more.. I'm hoping there is more from these two. (I have got to get caught up on your prior books)

Fallen, Marilyn, Nicole I am a first time reader of your books.

The First of Fifty: Shades Of Longing "I'll Remember You" by  Fallen Kittie  Wonderful I enjoyed the Professor, and Fallen..

Keeper  by Marilyn Faith Loved The defense attorney Callen, and Lola. These two have been best friends since high school. They both secretly love each other but neither one admitting it. I felt sorry Lo had to watch him with his harem for 7 years.... Over all it was a Great read.


The Applicant by Nicole Hite (applicant) Finley is just what the arrogant Jim Jackson needed. I'm secretly hoping he falls crazy in love with Finley, and she drops him like its hot! for a little while anyway.


Mr. Andrews: Flying high with The Pilot by Mia Vilano  I am so happy to be reading something new from Mia Villano I have been waiting since I first read the Senator. Gabby is a little down on life living in her dark world. Loosing the man she was in love with due to unfortunate circumstances has sent Gabby into a tail spin lifestyle of whiskey and random one night stands. That is until her drunken night lands her in bed with Marco one the of NYC most notorious spoiled, self centered, trust fund brats.. Upon trying to escape from her night of shame without waking up her nightmare, she is discovered and mistaken for a call girl. Mortified that this gorgeous much older man who happens to be Marcos pilot thinks she is a lady of the night since that seems to be Marcos M/O. She wants nothing more than to escape. Vowing to herself she will not get into this situation again.
Colt is a sexy strong willed man who gets what he wants and what he wants is Gabby, and he is determined to have her. Colt also comes with his own sad story...

If you like hot, sexy, steamy reads, READ Suits of Shades.. These Authors have put together a wonderful Anthology of erotic tales.. Page Turner for sure..

Review Too Close to See by Angela March

  5 stars  Review
Too Close to See (A Southern Series book 3) 
by Angela March     
*Review*  Too Close to See by Angela March

 Too Close to See by Angela March
 (A Southern Series book 3)
THIS IS NOT A STANDALONE, this is the final installment of
"A Southern Series" by Angela March
http://amzn.com/B00SU3XBNW

Now with that out of the way I must say this has been one of the most amazing series I have read. It is not your typical love story. It's not all roses and sunshine, but it is full of Heart.Lots of Heart, and more of a feel of reality, and it sucked you right in from the very first word of Meet Virginia.

Virginia Costello is a very complex woman. She was emotionally abused all her life leaving her to feel unimportant by her family and was often put aside and literally forgotten about. Leaving no one to fight for her but herself.

I am a complete and total mess of tears right now. Tears of sadness, heartache and joy.
This story pick up right where Georgia girl left off.
Virginia is headed to the birthday party leaving a upset Eli behind, and Virginia with lots of misplaced emotions.

Then there is "Swoon" Boone he is miserable, but He is trying to give Virginia the space she desired and work on himself and do a little growing up all the while he is secretly watching over Virginia.

Virginia is dealing with the emotional wreckage of her life secretly missing Boone, but trying to put the pieces back together but slowly realizing they don't fit anymore. Deep down she knew that along. But the fear of change and failure left her trying.

She comes across as self centered, shellfish brat, making everything all about her. But it's more about the need to be important, to matter to someone.
Be first in someone's life for a change. Which is something she has not had.

Thinking Boone has left Atlanta and feeling guilt over the way things ended she refuses to call and cause him anymore pain. So Virginia tries to carry on with her life.

Now I don't want to giveaway any spoilers so let's just say we have a new player involved.
The Sexy Tru with no E (Mr. Man Bun) " Sex on a Stick "
He is in pursuit of Virginia he has to have her he is not used to be told No ..

Belle I just adore such an old wise soul . I absolutely love her and Wheezy (Belle's caretaker)

Jasper is there for Virginia every step of the way. Giving her the support only a friend can give.
Ian is keeping a huge secret from Jasper. In return cause jasper to do buy a online spy kit.. lol

Eli I have mixed emotions about.

This has been an fantastic read and overall amazing series .
I have rapidly become a huge Fan of Angela March and very unique writing style. It is truly a breath of fresh air.

Fight Series Review By Author M. Dauphin

FIGHT by M. Dauphin  (REVIEW)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am ashamed to say that this is the first Book I have read by M. Dauphin, but it will Definitely NOT be my last.. I loved Fight I fell in love with Gwynn(RED) and Eddie. These two have had a less than perfect life. They each have their own demons they are battling with. My heart breaks for Eddie, he lives in constant fear that he carries the evil genes of his father, so relationships are out of the question for him..  He lives by few rules....   Treat everyone with kindness,  NEVER FIGHT,  and Never fall in love... That was until he met the hot headed red head

Gwynn the fiery red head. I love her. The day she graduated college was the day her life changed forever.  Now left dealing with her own demons of regret and guilt due to very unfortunate circumstances leaves her finding her safe place in FIGHTING..


I loved Fight, but I did want to throw my tablet across the room when it ended. It ends in a cliffhanger that stopped my heart. I had to take a few deep breaths and say a few bad words..
But don't let that discourage anyone, because Fight is a fabulous start to what promises to be a fantastic series..
So I am anxiously waiting for Fight part two.. Hurry please...

Fight part 2
Fight part 2 by M. Dauphin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am so happy to finally got to read this second installment to this series.. Fight part 2 picks up right where Fight part 1 leaves off..
I could not put this book down. It is a very fast passed read.
In fight part 2 we get to learn more about Eddie and his past as well as the answers to what happen to Red's father the night of graduation. Feelings are discovered and admitted. Jase (Red's best friend) is out to cause trouble. However these two have a powerful connection to each other.

I recommend reading this series. M. Dauphin delivers a wonderful tale of two very emotionally broken people finding themselves in each other.
I can not wait for the final instalment in this series..

If you have not started the series start it Now you wont regret it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eddie(Tex) and Gwynn(Red) are, back in this amazing conclusion of Fight.

There is a lot that happens in this final instalment.
Be prepared for quite a shock as their story continues. Their is so many twist and turns it left my emotions all over the place and my heart heavy. Have tissue handy because you are going to scream and cry.

I not only adore Red but, I admire her strength she is a true fighter. Most people would of gave up and, walked away but, not Red. She knew her Tex was there somewhere. (No spoilers so I am not going to elaborate on that statement.)

Eddie "Wow" my heart hurt for him so much, but at the same time I just felt like slapping the crap out of my reader. I would have to if I thought he would of felt it. You get to see the wonderful Eddie we all fell in love with, then we get to see a side of Eddie that is heartbreaking.

M. Dauphin has done it once again. I loved this series and I am looking forward to getting little pieces of Red's life with Eddie when we get to read  more about Rose aka (Cammy). Gwynn has a little cameo part in "Life On Pause by HQ Frost" which will lead to Rose's story. (-I hope it was ok for me to mention that-)

I was graciously given an ARC copy of Fight part 3 for an honest review and I want to say Thank you so much M. Dauphin for giving me that opportunity.
