Book Review: Loud is How I Love You by Mercy Brown



Loud is How I Love You
Hub City #1
Author: Mercy Brown
Reading Level: New Adult
Genre: Contemporary
Released: January 19th 2016
Review Source: InterMix

One girl’s heart gets rocked to the core in the first novel in this sexy New Adult series.

Twenty-one-year-old front girl Emmylou knows that getting her band noticed in the ‘90s indie rock scene will be no easy task. She definitely knows better than to break the number one rule of the band: Don't sleep with your bandmates! But after she ends up having the best sex of her life with her guitarist, Travis, she finds following that rule is a lot harder than it sounds.

When the band gets the gig of their dreams, making it big seems just within reach. But Emmy’s inability to keep her hands off Travis threatens everything they’ve worked for. Can Emmy find a way to break the rules and not blow the chance of a lifetime?


This is heartbreaking! With the amazing cover and the great synopsis, I thought I would be head over heels with this love story. However, I tried my best to make the best, but the more I tried, the more Emmy was testing me. Her excuses became really old, really quick and it got to the point, I wanted to smack her. Really really hard. I know, I sound so violent. But the way she annoyed me, a good smack would help her out. Especially when you really want to love the story, as everyone else is amazing. But there is ONE character that has to ruin it. And this was Emmy, our main character!

Don't get me wrong, I loved Travis, Cole and Joey. They were amazing. They really are. But my issue, my biggest issue was Emmy. This girl kept changing her mind over and over and over again. She kept making annoying and inconsiderate saying and very hurtful  moves. Like girl, take a chill pill. The boy loves you, why must you not go with the flow? Sure, you can make mistakes, but when you start giving someone hope just to let them down only to give hope again and to put them break them again, yeah... it becomes OLD AND ANNOYING! She just kept hurting her loves ones.

If Emmy wasn't as annoying, then I know for a fact, I would've enjoyed this story. I loved Travis with all my heart. Emmy should've appreciated him more. He is worthy! If I were Travis, I would've moved on and left her bipolar self alone. Come to me, Travis. I will be better! HAHA.



Book Review: Seduction Game by Pamela Clare



Seduction Game
I-Team #7
Author: Pamela Clare
Reading Level: Adult
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Released: October 20th 2015
Review Source: InterMix

The acclaimed author of Striking Distance returns with more danger, intrigue, and I-Team action...

CIA officer Nick Andris wants revenge. His last mission failed after a Georgian arms smuggler killed his lover. He’s been tailing a woman for three weeks hoping she will lead him to his target. But there’s a problem with the intel. Holly Elise Bradshaw is nothing more than an entertainment writer with a love for sex and designer clothes. Clearly someone at Langley made a mistake . . .

When Holly finds herself in trouble, the only weapons at her disposal are her brains and her body. But they won’t be enough to handle the man who’s following her. He’s going to turn her world upside-down.



Holly has been pretty much on her own and working since the age 18. Everyone thinks they know her job but they don't. See, Holly has somewhat of a secret life. Can you guess what it is?

Nick is out for revenge on the man who killed his girlfriend two years ago. When his CO gives him his next assignment, he doesn't think twice. And soon he will bump into Holly. As they are getting to know each other, they will soon learn not everyone they know can be trusted.

What I enjoyed most about Seduction Game is watching two people who first thought the worst about the each other and eventually start to get to know each other only to fall head over heel over one another. Even though everything in between is a hot mess. Literally, everything is falling apart! This is what makes them come together and trust one another. As their lives depend on one another. The best of all, as they're learning to trust, their chemistry is out of control.

This book is fun and entertaining! If you enjoy books with lives of secret CIA and other agency workers, sexual content that is out of this world, sexy and dangerous moments that keeps you wondering what will happen next, solving puzzle, with some funny moments mixed into it, then yes, you must pick this book!


Book Review: Nice Girls Don't Ride by Roni Loren



Nice Girls Don't Ride
Author: Roni Loren
Reading Level: New Adult
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Released: April 21st 2015
Review Source: Penguin Intermix

Natalie Bourne thinks she has the perfect night planned for her twenty-first birthday. But when her car breaks down and her boyfriend bails on her, she’s left stranded in an auto shop dealing with a way too cocky, way too hot mechanic, who seems to be intent on pushing every button she has.

Monroe Hawkins knows he shouldn’t be messing with a girl from the uppity private college. Especially when he can tell she sees him as the help. But he’s having trouble resisting the redhead with the smart mouth and the killer legs. So when Natalie’s night goes from bad to worse, there’s no way he’s letting her spend her birthday alone. He makes her a deal—he’ll take her home but not until the sun comes up.

Ten hours, one motorcycle, and the city of Austin at their fingertips…things are about to take a major detour. And soon, there may be no U-turn in sight.

A girl’s worst nightmare - being cheated by the one you care for. Worst, finding out the day of your twenty-one birthday! Such a heartbreak.

Natalie Bourne is about to have the perfect night. Spending quality time with her love. So is what she thinks. As her car breaks down, things start to go down the hill from there. But the night is young and one can only enjoy what is given - life. So is what Monroe Hawkins tells her.

Sure Natalie’s car breaks down, sure her boyfriend cannot pick her up and tells her the plan is cancelled. As Natalie tries to enjoy her birthday things cannot seem to go her way. Thank God for Monroe. He is about to enlighten the night away.

This is a short Novella - too short. Yet is one that leaves the reader wanting more. The chemistry between Natalie and Monroe - yes, they’re sass is worthy of an entire book. It is an adventure I would love to read more about.

Nice Girls Don't Ride is fun to read. Who wouldn’t want to spend a night with a sexy bad boy with a motorcycle?
