T. L. SmithReseñas

Really enjoyed the story was heavy on the spice would have loved more plot. I love smut truly but I think it would have been perfect with more story in a chapter making it a balance of the plot and smut.

This book was a quick read for me. I started and finished it in one day. Whiskey and Lottie shared some steamy sexual tension. Lottie may have tried to out game Whiskey, but he is the master. The way that he would tease Lottie got me hot and bothered.

There is not a lot of spicy scenes and the ones that are featured are short but still hot. It was more about the teasing and the touch her and "I will break his legs" vibes. If I was to have to be in a fake marriage with someone I would not mind being hooked up with Whiskey. These two do make a good couple.

This epic conclusion in this duet had me glued to my seat the entire time. We pick up where Heartbreak Me left off with Atlas walking away from Thea. He is angry his cousin died and blame her, which is misplaced but keeping them apart. Thea’s sister is still a crazy piece of work and is trying hard to win Atlas over and she never even loved Benji (Atlas’ cousin). I was happy that Thea is tying to find herself and sets out on a journey to better herself and get over Atlas. When she comes back it’s to new beginnings. She thinks she over Atlas, but deep down she knows she would never truly be over him. These two struggles with coming to terms things are over and when Atlas decides he can’t be without her any more he tries to win her over. I was happy that Thea finally learned to stand up for herself especially against her sister. I loved everything about this book the ups, downs, emotions everywhere, and the suspense.

This was a good quick read and I loved the dynamic of the guys and their club. El was an awesome heroine because she wasn’t weak, she stood up for herself and wasn’t a doormat. I loved Creed and his quiet dark demeanor he had some issues but eventually he starts to see why he’s a screw up. Overall it was a great read, quick, steamy, and enjoyable. I really hope the other guys get a book because each one is so different and amazing.

The author took some intense characters and created a world that had me feeling every emotion possible and leaving me hanging on the edge of my seat. Atlas is such a huge jerk and we first meet him when he has Thea kidnapped, he sees something in her that he likes but refuses to acknowledge so he is a major jerk for most of the book. There were moments when I wanted to throat punch Atlas and moments when I wanted to slap Thea to stand up for herself a little more especially when it came to her sister. These two are total opposites and Atlas feels Thea should pay-off her sister’s debt to him so he uses her as he sees fit, but their attraction is very tangible. They hate each other but can’t get enough of each other, but with Atlas’ aloofness and messed up background can he let himself feel for the first time or will he keep holding grudges that are completely made up in his mind? How will Thea handle her new situation she finds herself in and will she ever be able to look at Atlas again without hatred in her eyes? I have so many questions because this book does end on a cliffhanger but I was enthralled and pulled into their story, I’m dying to know how things will go in the next book.

Gripping the edge of my seat I settled in for a long crazy journey because form the start things get intense. Sailor is in a marriage that has ran its course, yet she still has been trying even if she knows deep down this isn’t working. One night out with her husband doing what she always does for him by being compliant things change drastically and she finds herself put in a situation because her husband is a real piece of work. Sailor finds out her husband has sold her to pay off a debt to the crime boss Keir. Keir is brutal, ruthless, seems to have no heart or soul but there is something about Sailor that intrigues him and he can’t help it nor stay away. Twists, turns, ups, downs things you don’t see coming and many obstacles in the way these two are faced with so much. The mafia has its own set of rules Sailor isn’t made for this life but there is a tiny part of her that can’t resist Keir and Keir knows his place in his world yet he is drawn to the one who has captivated him and he can’t stay away. With enemies on the rise, people who want them to play their parts and stay away from each other lurking, danger at every corner can they stand side by side or forced apart? Will Keir ever trust anyone or is his cold ruthless heart too hardened to accept he could have love? Will Sailor be able to stand by his side once its all said and done? This book was a wild ride that keeps you captured at every turn. I couldn’t stop reading once I started and even if it does end of a cliffhanger it was one I actually didn’t mind because it wasn’t harsh but gave me hope for the next book.

I have been waiting for this next book of Keir and Sailor’s especially after that breathe stilling cliffhanger from book one. I was gripped from start to finish not wanting it to end but yet I could not stop reading for one moment. Sailor hid her secret thinking she was doing the right thing and in a way she was because Keir was still bound by his since of duty to the families.Once Keir finds out about Sailor and her situation he decides its time to go find his lollipop. Keir is stuck between his want for Sailor and the thing he should do and at the time he is still struggling with the way he feels for Sailor. Sailor and Keir never see eye to eye and I was happy she became this strong woman who wasn’t afraid to stand up to him. Sailor became this force and Keir could see it, yet he was always worried in his own way of his life and hers may not mix. I loved Keir’s fierceness, the way he knew what he wanted and went for it, and then the way he was with Wren melted my heart. There was so much going on in this book the action, betrayals, secrets, and steam was so intense. I don’t want to give too much away because the readers need to experience every emotion and every action because it explodes off the pages. (Side note: Paige ugh) Let’s just say someone got something I didn’t feel they deserved and the other got off too easy. Overall this is an amazing duet and I really hope we get more from this world.

I am left breathless after the ending to this one. In the previous books I thought Lucas was dark yet when he loved giving Keir a hard time and joking around with Sailor that maybe some light would shine through and at times there were slivers of it yet his darkness prevailed. He is ruthless, twisted, I’m still not certain if I like him or want him to disappear. Chanel is struggling just trying to survive and keep her brother safe after the horrible life they have endured but the only way to do that is work on the streets. She wasn’t scared to give Lucas a run because she was feisty and that made the attraction even better. I don’t want to reveal too much because this book is intense, twisted, and crazy good so if you like dark romances with a tad of a psychos this is one to enjoy. I can’t wait to see what happens next and I hope Chanel rises from this and breaks all hell lose on those who deserve it.

With the way the previous book ended I was extremely curious how things would play out but I wasn’t prepared for this book. Chanel finds herself in a very dangerous predicament with a mad man who is obsessed with her and betrayed by the one man she trusted. Will she survive this, can she escape and if so will she ever trust Lucas again? Lucas is a dangerous man but when it comes to family he has a since of loyalty even when he knows it’s wrong. I was shocked at the events that seemed to happen straight out the gate but it kept me glued until the end. I don’t want to spoil much because there is so much that happens with these two and it should be with every twist. I will say with so much betrayal, pain, and secrets can things work between two broken people? Also, Piper was really annoying in this one because in the first few books I enjoyed her bad@ssery, but in this one she kept butting into Lucas’ business trying to get a rise out of him like she was wanting him to get killed. She also just never knew when to stop or shut up and at times it felt like she had it out for Chanel even though she didn’t. Keir broke my heart towards the end but he is the do so he has to do what he must even when it’s difficult. Overall this was exciting, edge of my seat, emotional ride with so many twists that I devoured it because I needed to know what would happen. I just know Joey’s story is going to be an interesting as well.

Welcome to this world where witches, vampires, angels, and werewolves are all fighting for survival and the current Queen is truly evil with bad intentions. We are introduced to Talia and her sisters, they are witches and seem to hide that they are quite powerful just to survive, but when secrets are revealed who will be on their side will good win or will evil reign? When Talia embarks on her journey as the prophecy has foretold she meets a lot of interesting characters, her strength and love is tested, and the only one she can always count on is Death/Grim. This story captures you from the beginning and pulls you into this world where so much happens, I just hope we get more from this story because I feel that Talia and Grim have so much more to offer in their story as well as Bronik. Overall I loved this new journey, it’s action packed, low steam, and I just really want more.

I have fallen hard for The Hunters brothers since the first book. While I loved the other brothers, I think with this book, Kenzo won me over the most. Yes, he and Mayve had HOT s#x but it was the emotions that really did it in for me. The fact that Kenzo was blown away by the emotions he was experiencing when it came to Mayve was endearing.

To see a tough guy like Kenzo deleting Mayve's IG account because he only wants to be the one to see her pictures or letting his guard down when it came to bringing down his targets and having his brothers call him out on it was entertaining. Through the blood and mayhem, Kenzo and Mayve have their HEA.

I absolutely devoured this book! Moments of Mayhem is a 5++ read!

This was just barely a 3 star for me. The story was okay, as was the spice. The characters were just meh to me. There were a few parts that got me excited. All-in-all, it was an acceptable listen.

I am a fan of this author's books. As soon as I see a new book every time, I know I have to read it. T.L. is an automatic read author for me! She writes her characters as bada$$. This book is no exception. I could not get enough of Sage/Alaska and Zuko.

Alaksa is very sassy. I love how she interacted with Zuko in the beginning. She definitely had him wrapped around her finger or should I say his "unlimited black card". Even his two brothers, Kyson and Kenzo knew he had it bad. The brotherly ribbing that they gave him was entertaining. I am so happy to see that both brothers will also get their own books.

Where can I get a guy like Zuko. The way that he would get down on his knees and worship Alaska is HOT! All the s#x scenes are so spicy. Um, yes please and thank you.

I have never loved a workplace romance more than this book. The way that Grayson went all alpha where Avani is concerned is very HOT. I could feel his intense stare and his deep voice. When Grayson growled that really got me over the edge.

Avani and Grayson really heated up the pages of this book. I love that all of the women portrayed in T.L.'s books are strong, independent women that stand beside their men and not behind them. Avani definitely could hold her own. She even got into the action at one point. Beware the woman scorned as her revenge is best served bloody.

T.L. does it again with this new book. I had been sad when The Chained Hearts series ended but T.L. brought back the joy with this new book. A Villain's Kiss is all kinds of sexy hotness!! I read this book so fast as I could not get enough of it.

All I have to say about Jake is...Yes, master. The things and the way he touched Oriana definitely had me needing a cold shower afterwards. I was glad to see Oriana get treated like the queen she is and deserved to be treated.

So speaking of the Chained Heart books, it was a very nice surprised to see some of the past characters make brief appearances in this book. I like the tie in from that series to this new one. I can't wait to read the second book in this duet.

I read this book so fast. One moment I was starting it and the next I realized that I was more than halfway done with it. I did finish the book in one evening. Sisters, Talia Tatiana and Tanya have grown closer. Speaking of growing close, Talia as become more intimate with Max and Grim. Well as much as she can with Grim. He thinks staying away from Talia is the best thing.

Yet, every time that he came around Talia the chemistry between these two was even hotter. It is like dangling a piece of candy on a string in front of my face. When you say "no", the more I want it. That was the same for Talia. Luckily, she also had Max to keep her company. Who I did not mind at all as well. Although, I have a favorite between the two men and Talia picked the same one. T.L. took me on a steamy, fantasy journey with characters that I enjoyed hanging out with.

Read this in one sitting.....shocked. Cried. Laughed. Mourned. Weird triable but makes sense....one repaired her, one helped her find her way to love again.....would love if there was a sequel!

Good read...I got a little confused here and there but I must say I was happy with the outcome...I had hoped for more of an explanation of "white"...maybe a sequel?!? I do like these characters and works like to see more of them

I have to admit, it took a little bit of time to get into this book. But once I did, I couldn't put it down. Cliffhanger much? Looking forward to the next one.

Damn....damn....damn....sucked me in right from the start. I got a tiny bit confused with some characters dialogue, but it didn't detract from the story. I was able to figure out who was saying what and just fell into this book. Looking forward to seeing what happens to Rose and Black and Jake....

With every new book that author, T.L releases in this series, I fall in love with it instantly. I heart the featured couples so much. She absolutely crushes each duet. If you asked me which couple, I loved the most, I would not be able to answer you. AS it would not be fair to the couples as I adore each of them for different reasons.

Although, after reading Reckless Hands, I could not wait to jump into this book. Luckily, I did not have to wait too long. All I have to say is go Adora. I knew she had a fierce attitude, but it really showed in this book. The tension of will he or won't he kill Adora was hot. She had Joey's head spinning. Another person that knew how to get under Joey's skin is Lucas. He kept be laughing with the comments that would come out of his mouth. If anything, I fell in love with his all over again.

Not to be missed is Keir, Sailor, and Chanel. They all made appearances as well. If there was any family where I would not mind and hope to be kidnapped and married into, it would be this family. Arranged Hearts is a delicious sinful read that you can't get enough of!

With each duet I fall in love with the newest couple but this time I really feel hard for Joey and Adora. I could not get enough of these two. All the women like the men are strong but Adora is next level. The way she would push Joey's buttons was very entertaining and hot. I devoured this book so fast and can't wait to read the conclusion. Additionally, I do have to give a shout out to Keir and Sailor, the original "OG" couple. It was nice to see them again as well make appearances in this book.

To be honest, I did not really remember Joey or Adora from the prior books when they did make appearances, but I will never forget them now. Adora is so full of sass. My kind of woman. While Joey did not have to endure all of the sharp barbs that Adora threw his way; he was never crude about it. It just added to the chemistry between these two. Reckless Hands is a bowl of sinful ice cream that will have you devouring every page!
