'nuff said?
I loved the very last book in this series because we got to hear Jace, Elliot, *and* Juliette's POVs. It was nice hearing Jase and Elliot's thoughts too.It will have blood; they say, blood will have blood.--MacBeth, SHAKESPEARE
Yes, a great wrap up to what will be one of my top favorite series' of all time. It was twisted and dark and chilling... all the things I love in my reads! There aren't many series that I've read that I can say were solid 5 star reads from start to finish, but this is one of them!
"Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." --Khalil Gabran
The terrifying ending to the last book picks up in this one. Dornan knows. The one word he said to her, the one that made my skin prickle and crawl... "Juliette". I knew at that moment that her life and her vendetta could very well end.
Dornan thinks he's breaking, or broken, Juliette... but even Dornan isn't that good. In my opinion, Juliette is just too strong for that. I seriously don't think Dornan could break her. The only one that could break her is Jase. If something happened to him, or if he turned his back on her and betrayed her, or took his love away from her. *That* could break her... but Dornan? Pffftttt. Right? RIGHT??
"You think you're the one with the power, at least I did, but then I got careless. One tiny mistake, and now I am powerless to stop what comes next." --Juliette
Okay. So I could be wrong... perhaps Dornan does have that power.I've got nothing left inside. I don't want to fight anymore. I don't want revenge.
I just want to die. --Juliette
Finally in this installment, Jase finds out that Sammi is really Juliette. I'd been waiting for him to discover this. But I felt that it's was kind of anticlimactic, Jace (to me) seems to just accept it, business as usual. But I was still happy that the truth finally came out."If you prick us do we not bleed? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?--William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
Jacked him up pretty bad, but didn't kill him.
But Dornan just won't fucking die! He is in a coma, which is acceptable, until he wakes up.
But we do get to see some sexy time between Jase and Juliette. Their love is hot, and sweet, and Ms. St. Germain writes it impeccably.
But Juliette is determined, no matter what, to carry out her revenge. And with Elliot, albeit reluctantly, helping her, she doesn't feel she can fail.
"'To be wronged is nothing, unless you continue to remember it.' -- Confucius
'I would never forget. And so, for me, being wronged was everything.'--Juliette/Sammi"
In the first book, Seven Sons, we saw Juliette get started on her revenge when she killed Chad.. and in this book we see her stalk another one of the brothers while Dornan is in mourning.
I planned to dig seven"Seven Son's picks up 6 years later after Juliette was brutally and horrifically raped by Dornan and 6 of his 7 sons while the 7th son, Jason (Jase), was forced to watch. Juliette was all but dead when she was taken to the hospital. Dornan didn't *want* her dead, he still needed information from her on where her father, John, hid the money that he embezzled.
Elliot loved Juliette, and Juliette loved Elliot, but she had nothing but revenge on her mind and that overshadowed anything she could ever really have with Elliot. And she was still in love with the boy that Dornan brought home one day when they were only 16 years old, Jase.
"Elliot was my one constant. He was gentle and kind. He listened to all of the demons inside me that were clamoring to smother me, to kill me. He held me while I cried. He wiped away my tears.
And then, inexplicably, he fell in love with me." --Juliette

A dark and at times creepy, sinister, and extremely twisted story! And in typical Stevie J. Cole fashion she completely blew my mind!
This book seemed a bit slow to me... but then at one point it all comes together and it's well and truly an "Oh fuck! No!" moment.
This book took everything I just read and turned it completely upside down in the most startling way possible! I wanted to gently lay my Kindle down and run far, far away! I loved it!
Tank by Carmen JennerOkay. Just. Wow. What a wild ride! I have to say that from book 1, Kick, to this book, the author's writing style grew by leaps and bounds. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, gripping my Kindle, and more than once whispering, "nooooo...!"*****5 "I love you enough to put you on the back of my bike and keep you there for good." Stars*****
Tank - a.k.a. Death, a.k.a. Jonah Whitecross, he's not your typical biker that you read about in most MC books. Even though he's a killer, and has no qualms about it. He can be demanding, overbearing, a complete "arsehole" at times... but he can also be gentle, caring, and loving, much to Ivy's surprise and dismay."I want her submission. I want her heart. I want her to look at me and not wish I were someone else. More than anything though, I want to rid her of the belief that to love is to hurt to feel pleasure is to hurt."
Tank has been in love with Ivy since he first met her, but Ivy's not in love with Tank, far from it, and to make matter's worse, he's taken her to his cabin and "held her prisoner"... her words, not his. He's taken her away from the club, away from Kick, and away from any way to get her drugs. He wants to help her get clean and she doesn't want any part of Tank's help.

First Touch by Laurelin Paige****4 Touch Me Stars!****
I've had this book on my TBR Shelf for quite some time now. Kept meaning to read it, but just never got to it. Then it came up for one of my challenges on my group, and watching my friends comments, I knew I had to read it. And so I did.I'd Set out to capture him and instead he'd captured me. I couldn't fight it. It was done.
Reeve and Emily... I had a love/hate relationship with them both. But when they came together (yes, that's a double entendre), it was pretty hot! And explosive! (another double entendre).
When Emily thought to herself, "the dominating bad boy type was my weakness", I could totally get behind that... and it was the turn around for me with Reeve. He was the "bad boy", and he became my "weakness" pretty damn quick!
The scene in the barn... read the book, you'll totally get it... was probably one of my favorite erotic scenes *ever* in a book! Sex scenes, sometimes I feel they are just thrown into a book for the sake of sex. I know that in order for a book to be in a certain genre (erotica in this case), that it has to have... well... sex! in it. And often. But most of the sex in this book was well placed, it made sense, the timing was perfect, and it was hot!
