My Rating: 

My life was simple. Follow instructions, learn the family business and be prepared to take over when the time has come. My name is Eliza, although people in the business know me as Krinos. One thing you should know about me is that my father is a drug lord, the boss in these parts.

I am prepared to do whatever it takes to step up to the challenge and run the family business, to make my father proud, a business filled with drugs, sex and death. What I’m not prepared for though is him, the Greek god who walks into my life and threatens to rock my world.

Now, my life has just got complicated. But don’t misunderstand, complicated is not a weakness. My father was not a man to cross, so expect nothing less from me. I am my father’s daughter, and I will be the boss.

I only have one word for this book and that is kickass! I loved it! It was raw, sexy, adventurous, fun and awesome all in one.

I loved the heroine Eliza  aka Krinos with her bad ass attitude. She is fierce in everything she does and she does what has to be done no matter what. She values family and does everything for them.

When Krinos meets her dads second in command Stefanos attraction instantly hits and oh my it was steamy! I loved Stefanos! He is straight forward and goes for what he wants. And he wants Krinos. It doesn´t suck that he´s a hottie aswell lol.

In the book we get to follow Krinos as she tries to prepare for taking over the family business and there is a lot of action. Usually the books I read there are Kickass heroes so it was soo refreshing to read about Krinos and her awesomeness!

This book I can really recommend for those of you who needs something refreshing =)

T.L Smith is from Sunny Queensland and stared writing from her love from reading, She has two beautiful children that are her world.

Blog Tour + Review: Steel & Ice by Emily Eck

Title: Steel & Ice
Author: Emily Eck
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: January 26, 2014
Tour Host: Dreams Come True Promotions

Elle isn't looking for love. Hardened by years on the streets, she's learned to take care of herself by covering her heart with ice and keeping men at arm's length. She's not weak and she doesn't need to be saved. But she wouldn't mind getting laid a little more often.

J's covered his heart with steel. He owe's his life to an MC that is not what it seems. Since he knows his priority must be to the club's demands, no matter how illegal, he decided a long time ago that love didn't fit anywhere in his life.
A not so chance, but definitely hot encounter on a crowded dance floor should be enough for J, but he can't seem to stay away from Elle. As she begins to melt his steel, and he manages to chip away her ice, his forced loyalty to the MC threatens to tear them apart. When the risk becomes greater than J expected, will love be enough to keep Elle from freezing her heart to him?

First off I must say....I LOVED IT!!! lol

This was such a real and true story. At first I was a bit taken back by the harsh and real language. I mean, there are a lot of cussing and slang in there, I swere alot ( a bad habit of mine..lol) but I haven´t read many books with this much in it. Also there was alot of drugs involved. But all this made the story so much better and easier to relate to. Since I grew up and currently live in a big town it´s very relateble. I loved every aspect of the story. 

One thing I must pick on though, not sure if my kindle had an error or something but for some reason a lot of words containing the letter " L " were gone so sometimes I had to read a bit slower to understand. Was that just me or..?

So, to the storyline and charachters. I loved the storyline, there was always something going on and I was never bored. It was funny, sexy, exciting and down to earth. Elle is really kick-ass and I loved her. I would love a friend like her! lol She has attitude, sass and balls of steel. I would never speak or act as she does sometimes and I sometimes wish I would have the guts to. Elle has the biggest heart and is really caring. 

Then we have the sexy J! *swoon* I loved him and I would jump him any day! He is a real man and also he has a heart of gold.

The ending of this book kept me hanging and wanting more. I was really biting down my nails at the end and I can´t wait for more!

Emily is a Midwestern Gal, but could be anywhere as you read this. She gypsy's the country, as well as south of the border. Adventure feeds her soul, and offers great writing material. She loves kids and working with teens, but can only handle caring for four-legged furry friends. A crazy dog and laid back cat have trained her to be their partner in life. Vices include Swedish Fish, ignoring chores in favor of reading, and caring too much for the people in her life. She chose to write this bio in third person as she is an Aries, and found writing in first person ended up with her writing an excessively long life story. Aries like to talk about themselves. It is something Emily is working on being more mindful of.

Book Tour+Review: Beautiful Failure by Mariah Cole

Title: Beautiful Failure

Author: Mariah Cole

Genre: New Adult

Publication Date:December 17, 2013 

Tour Host: Dreams Come True Promotions

My Rating:

If you're looking for a heartwarming story about a girl who falls deeply in love with a troubled boy who changes her life--a sob story with pretty metaphors and a million ways that'll tell you how "broken" she is, STOP. Don't read another word of this.

I'm not that type of girl.

My name is Emerald Anderson and I'm not going to bullshit you: I flunked out of college after my sophomore year, I've been fired from every job I've ever taken, and I've never had a fully functioning relationship in my life.

I wish I could say that I had a cheerleader in my corner, someone who says, "No, Emerald--You're great and you are good at something!" but I don't. My grandparents are completely oblivious to my life, and my mother's dying words to me were "You're going to end up just like me one day. A beautiful nothing."

She was right.

As I decide to start my life over and take two jobs that will forever change me--one from the inside, and one from the outside, I keep my mother's words close to my heart so I can keep the sexy and mysterious Carter Black away.

He's the first man who's ever pursued me, the first man who seems bent on finding out why I am the way I am, but he's wasting his time.

I'm not broken. I don't need to be fixed. I'm perfectly fine being a beautiful failure...

My Review

This book was phenomenal! I absolutely loved it from the first page to the last. It is dark, sexy, funny and sad all wrapped up in one awesomesauce of a book. It almost had me sitting in a corner rocking back and forth at times and in the next chapter I was laughing my ass of lol. 

Emerald is sush a sprite with a queen bitch attitude and real sass. I loved her personality!

She has lived a really shitty life with an alcoholic, insecure and childish mother and never seems to catch a break. After her mothers death she is sent to live with her grandparents. I felt myself rooting for her to get her shit together but time after time she failed. The book pulled me in so much that I found myself sitting and thinking "Noo Emerald, please keep quiet and don´t say that! Don´t you WANT to keep this job or what!" 

Then she meets Carter. *sigh* Im inlove.... 

Their love story is not your typical one and I really liked that. We don´t get to know Carter very much in this book more than that he is sexy, caring, sexy, smart mouthed, awesome in bed and oh..did i mention he was sexy? lol. I have a feeling we will in book 2 though.  I fell head over heals inlove with Emerald and Carters story and I can´t wait to read the next book about them. This book ended with somewhat of a cliffhanger making me yearn for it so much more.

Release Day Blitz: Carnage by Lesley Jones

Title: Carnage

Author: Lesley Jones

Genre: Erotica

Publication Date: February 14, 2014

Tour Host: Dreams Come True Promotions

I love him, from the instant I set eyes on him when I was just 11 years old I have loved him and nothing will ever change that, he owns me, he owns my heart and he owns my body and no matter how many lies are told, no matter how many people conspire to keep us apart, despite the fame and the distance, we will find a way.

“Georgia Rae, when we made love you used to cry”… He waits for me to sing my bit. I try to swallow down a sob but I just end up singing through it…

“I said I love you like the stars above, I’ll love you till I die”

Carnage, an edgy coming of age love story that breaks all the rules and transcends the decades. Georgia and Sean's story will stay with you long after you read the final word.

An emotional, smoking hot, gut wrenching read.

I am a born and raised Essex girl now living on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, just outside of Melbourne Australia, I moved here with my husband and three sons in 2006.

Not only do I love to write but I also love to read and can devour a book overnight if the story grabs me.

I love watching my sons play football and am very partial to a glass of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being my favourite.
