REVIEW: BETTER WHEN IT HURTS - SKYE WARREN

***Disclaimer: I received this book via Xpresso Reads in exchange for an honest review. Any thoughts and opinions are my own.***



BOOK DETAILS:

Better When It Hurts by Skye Warren 
(Stripped #2) 
Publication date: June 4th 2015
Genres: Adult, Romance

Synopsis:
Five years ago we lived in the same house. He was the ultimate bad boy. And my foster brother.

Now he’s back. Tougher, harder, meaner. All of it aimed at me, because I was the one who sent him away. It’s payback time. He wants his pound of flesh, and I am helpless to say no.
--

Review: 

I wasn't very impressed with this one. Supposedly you can read this as a stand-alone even though it is part of a series so I did not read the first book. I wish I had. I felt like I was missing out on some things in this book. 

The writing is done really well but I did not enjoy the characters at all. Hannah/Lola, in my opinion, was a bipolar mess that made her hard to relate to and even harder to keep up with in the story. One minute she's a strong, badass stripper, and then the next minute she's Hannah and I'm not even sure what kind of personality Hannah really had. Blue wasn't very impressive either. He just seemed very immature. It was hard for me to like any of these characters. Skye Warren is a great writer and I might try something else that she writes but I will not be reading this series again.

  Stick in the Mud meets spontaneity 
  Stick in the Mud Meets Spontaneity (Meet Your Match #3) by Rachael Anderson 
Home from college for the summer, Samantha Kinsey steps into her role as nanny for her two favorite little charges. But when she finds herself playing chauffeur more than playmate, her summer outlook quickly turns from fun to bleak. That is, until she drives the girls to a family-owned ranch and meets Colten McCoy—a genuine, hard-working cowboy, who's as set in his ways as he is handsome. Although he claims he doesn't need any fun in his life, Sam’s determined to help him find it. But she'll soon discover that cowboys are about as easy to train as wild mustangs. Stick in the Mud Meets Spontaneity is about an adaptable girl and a not so adaptable guy. It’s about learning to accept people for who they are and realizing that sometimes who they are is exactly who they should be.

Review:

Samantha Kinsey is spontaneous and care-free. Colten McCoy is the complete opposite. The two of them together is sure to be a disaster......only it actually works out quite well! 

This is a clean read that proves opposites attract! Sam and Colten are just what each other need in their lives, it just takes them a few minutes to realize it. I loved Sam's bucket list. Every time I make a bucket list it reminds me just how boring I am! When Colten decided to help Sam cross of things on the list, I knew then that they were meant for each other. 

This is a part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone. The characters are very lovable and the story is nicely done. I loved the setting of this one. Who wouldn't love to be on a Colorado ranch during the summer time? (Seriously, it's hotter than Hades here in Alabama right now!) Sam and Colten definitely met their match in this awesome love story!

COVER REVEAL: CODE-11 KPD SWAT SERIES #4-7 - Lani Lynn Vale + Giveaway!

Series: Code-11 KPD SWAT
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romantic Suspense




Miller Spurlock might seem like a laid back man on the outside, but piss him off, or violate his trust, and he’ll show you the meaning of pain.
He was a Navy SEAL. He could kill a man a hundred different ways and not break a sweat.

He’s also a police officer and member of the SWAT team, which means he has the knowledge and skills to get away with it.

Rage boils in his gut when he witnesses what happens to the beautiful Mercy Shepherd during a SWAT op from hell that even his worst nightmare couldn’t conjure up. And it surprises the hell out of him when she wants him, and him only, to comfort her in the aftermath.

Miller becomes the one shining beacon of light at the bottom of Mercy’s pit of despair.

The one man that could pull her through the rough days ahead and make her whole again.

And during her road back to herself, she realizes that she’s got the one thing she ever wanted in life…a hero to call her own.

Title: Execution Style (Code-11 KPD SWAT #4)
Release Date: August 4, 2015








Foster made a promise in his hospital bed when his leg was taken from him that he’d get back to one hundred percent. Leg or no leg, he’d get back on the SWAT team if it killed him.

And he does get back. But he has a problem.

He can’t let go of the past.

The anger burns deep, making his emotions volatile at the best of times.
Then he meets Blake with her haughty attitude and inability to distinguish the difference between a pocket knife and a sword.

Little by little, she makes him whole again, one bad joke at a time.
She doesn’t see the revenge in his eyes, though. Doesn’t see the rage burning deep.

Rage so pure and all encompassing, that he knows it’ll explode.
It’s just a matter of time.

What Foster doesn’t realize, though, is that the love that Blake has for him is enough to fight his demons, one kiss at a time.

Foster never stood a chance.


Title: Charlie Foxtrot (Code-11 KPD SWAT #5)
Release Date: September 3, 2015






 



Bennett had the world in the palm of his hands when he was sixteen, then he allowed his dick to do the thinking for him. 

 That one night changed his life, giving him a child that would forever alter the course of his life, and an ex that was a crazy nut case on the best of days. With the help of his parents, he went into the Navy, becoming the SEAL that he always wanted to be. However, with that came a price. A price he wasn’t willing to pay anymore once his little girl started to realize why he wasn’t there. 

So he came home and joined the local SWAT team, starting his life anew, just his daughter and him. Then he meets the cute little physician’s assistant that looks down upon him like one would an annoying fly, and he finally realizes just what he’s been missing. Something that takes his mind off of the challenge of everyday life. Someone that dares him to be a better father and cop. 

 And Lennox is one hell of a motivator. 

 Their relationship starts off rocky as the two of them circle each other like opponents ready to do combat rather than two civil adults. Every day brings a new battle for the two of them to overcome, and before they realize it, they’ll be fighting for each other instead of against each other. Because there’s one woman who doesn’t want either one of them to be happy…especially not together.



Title: Kill Shot (Code-11 KPD SWAT #6)
Release Date: October 7, 2015






Title: Coup De Grace (Code-11 KPD SWAT #7)
Release Date: November 5, 2015





Michael was that guy.

The one that everyone was cautious of. Maybe it was the tattoos. Maybe it was the way he gave off a ‘don’t screw with me’ vibe. Maybe it was because he just told them to leave him the hell alone.

Regardless, people gave him his space.

He was screwed up, and everyone knew it.

He got tattoos because he liked the pain. He was standoffish. He didn’t have many friends outside of work. And the only thing he had going for him was that he was a good cop.

Everyone wondered about him, but no one asked.

The only one that didn’t treat him as if he was screwed up was Nikki Pena, a woman that he couldn’t have.

Nikki was that girl.

The one that everyone loved.

The one girl that he’d destroy if he let her have her way. What did she want?
Him.

But, he couldn’t give her him. She didn’t deserve what it would take to be with him.

So Michael would suffer in silence…or so he thought.

The woman who loved him had different ideas.
