3+ stars for “Return to Us Trilogy – 01 – Revival by M.K. Gilher”

*** I received this book for free from the author through The Fifty Shades Support group on Goodreads in exchange for a honest review ***

I finished the book last night and have been thinking since how I would rate this book. It was well written and I liked the story. But I didn’t love it and there were some parts that annoyed me so I’ll go with 3.5 stars.

After chapter 2 I really thought I had the perfect book for me. I really liked Ivy and her thoughts. But it are those thoughts that also ruined it a little bit for me. In the beginning it is fun to read about the angels on her shoulder: ‘Slut Ivy’ and ‘Feminist Ivy’. But after a while I would have skipped those small parts if I would have been sure that I didn’t miss necessary parts of the story.

Examples:

Should I pull away from him? The Slut Ivy on my right shoulder rolls her eyes and says, Duh, no silly. Stay right where you are. The Feminist Ivy on my left shoulder is scowling at me. Just get your ass to work on time, woman. The truth is I couldn’t move an inch even if I wanted to. Which I don’t.

He’s a player, obviously. Feminist Ivy gives me a look that says, Told ya! Now, get a goddamn grip and come sign this petition! Slut Ivy is sunbathing nude, totally oblivious to this new revelation.

I really liked Doctor J. Right from the start I saw McDreamy in front of me. I guess most of you know who I’m talking about? Yep, yummy Derek Shepherd aka Patrick Dempsey from Grey’s Anatomy. Doctor J is a man with many talents. I would have liked a spanking scene in the book though! There are several times in the book he thinks about spanking Ivy but he never does…

I like to know what both characters think so I was glad the book was written with both POV’s.

There was a part that I couldn’t visualize?

I lean back against the mirrored back wall. I close my eyes and can still see the strobe lights streaming through my eyelids.

Just as I’m about to take another sip of water, I feel two rough hands slide around my hips and pull me backwards… into the mirror.

The book ends in a Cliffhanger and made me want to jump into the next one. There are 2 more books and the next one is expected In November 2015.

1 star for “Her Billionaires – 01 – Her First Billionaire by Julia Kent”

I needed something lighter after my previous read and this one seemed perfect. I liked that Laura was a plus sized woman but I didn’t connect with the characters. I also have a problem with the sex scenes. The way it was described didn’t do it for me. And the fact there is no talk about STDs and birth control, even though she knows she forgot 1 pill, annoys me. I also thing Mike is not loyal enough to his best friend, the man he wants to share a woman with. So I won’t be buying the next 3 parts. I didn’t enjoy it enough but also because I find them too expensive for only 300 pages. You can also buy the complete set of 4 books in 1 bundle but then still I find $5,23 too much for this series.

3 stars for “Masters of the Shadowlands – 09 – Show Me, Baby by Cherise Sinclair”

I liked this book very much and liked the fact that Rainie was a BBW. There aren’t many books about bigger women but they are beautiful too!! I liked how Rainie, with her big heart, stood up for her friend and would have loved seeing her do the same for herself. But with the help of Jake she’ll get there!
