Review: Thief

Thief by Tarryn Fisher

My rating: 5 of 5 stars






Somehow I missed the release of Thief, the final book in the Love Me with Lies series. Thief is not quite as emotionally draining as the two previous books, but still an awesome series ender. Caleb and Olivia must have some kind of love, because after all they have been through, the lies, betrayal etc. they still can't stay away from each other. Leah, psycho red head ex, tries to pull another fast one, but she meets her match this time.

Review: Fighting to Forgive

Fighting to Forgive by J.B. Salsbury

My rating: 5 of 5 stars






Brent & Layla are perfect together! Both of them have a ton of baggage, but they soon realize that they complete one another. Blake was raised by his military father, who was beyond strict, and made him give up one of his passions he deemed too feminine. When he is caught sneaking around, he is then kidnapped in the middle of the night by his fathers soldiers and taken to military school. He hasn't ever forgiven his mother for standing by while his father abused all of them, and giving away his secret.
Layla got pregnant at sixteen, and was forced to marry the guy. She has lived in an abusive, dysfunctional marriage for sixteen years before she decides that enough is enough. She packs up herself, and her sixteen year old daughter, and leaves Seattle for Vegas. While working in a gym she meets Brent, one of the UFC fighters. He is strictly a no-strings attached, and no mothers period kind of guy. His feelings for Layla surprise him, because she is everything he doesn't want.



***Spoilers***
Layla's ex husband Stuart allows his wife to leave a little too easily. He makes arrangements with the UFL's owner, for her to sign off on some drugs for the gym doctor, to use on one of the guys. What neither of them realize is that the doctor who is supposedly supplying herbal supplements is really giving Brent steroids. They planned for Blake to get caught, and Layla to be involved so Stuart can rush in to save her and bring her back. What no one counts on is Brent and Layla's love for each other. While in a stand off, where Stuart is trying to bring Layla home, he reveals more information than she is ready to hear. On that night sixteen years ago, Stuart and a bunch of his friends slipped Layla a roofie, and they all raped her. Since that night he has repeatedly raped her, and she has never given consent. Layla is beside herself knowing that she is unsure who Elle's father is. Brent tells everyone there, that Layla and Elle are his, and he wants them. They are able to tape confessions from both Stuart and Gibbs, and restore Brent's career. At the end of the book, Brent asks Elle if she would allow him to be her father. Soon after Layla reveals that she is pregnant with Brent's baby.

Review: Sins & Needles

Sins & Needles by Karina Halle

My rating: 5 of 5 stars





Sins & Needles was a pretty amazing book. I couldn't put it down until I was finished, which didn't happen until after one this morning.
Ellie grew up as the only child of con-artist parents. She was put to use early on in their scams, and she was used to packing up and running in the middle of the night. When Ellie decides to return to the only home she's ever had, with her uncle, she doesn't count on running into Camden McQueen. She should have chosen her mark more carefully, because this job is nothing like usual. After being set up, and caught in her own game she is given a choice on the consequence. This choice takes them both through some incredibly risky business, and dangerous situations.

Review: Bold Tricks

Bold Tricks by Karina Halle

My rating: 5 of 5 stars






I hate that there are only three books in this series.. Ellie's parents were con-artists, and taught her at a very young age how to get what she wanted by taking advantage of others. At eleven, she experienced first hand the tragedy of her parents greed, when she was caught trying to rob a cartel boss. He poured acid down her leg, scarring her for life, and robbing any chance that she could walk away and live a normal life. From that point on, she was drowning in her need for revenge, allowing it to shape all of her decisions, and her life.
Camden McQueen loved Ellie Watt from the first moment he met her as young teenagers. They were both outcasts, who came from terrible families, and the only friend each other had. Her need to fit in, to be normal, allowed her to make a terrible decision, hurting Camden, and losing the only person who ever loved her for her.
When they run into one another several years later, their only thoughts are their schemes to get what they want. Ellie wants money, and Camden has plenty. Camden wants a new life, and Ellie has the contacts to make that happen. What starts out as a strained truce, turns into love like neither has ever known.
Too bad Javier, Ellie's psycho ex-boyfriend is not content to sit back, and allow her to live happily ever after. In the end, everyone gets what they deserved, and I couldn't be happier with how it all played out!!

Oh I loved this one, and definitely recommend. Christmas Eve might not have been the best time to stay up half the night, but I couldn't put it down!
