Synopsis:

Meet twenty-eight year old Ellen James. A sarcastic, feisty, foul-mouthed ER Nurse. She is snarky, sassy, and sometimes crudely inappropriate. After a terrible breakup with her fiancé, Ellen has promised herself that she will never make the mistake of falling for another man again… and physicians, well she’s more than written them off.

Once she meets sexy Trauma Surgeon, Dr. Trent Hamilton, this promise is unbelievably hard to keep. This too-hot-for-Ellen's-own-good man is undeniably sexy and down-right irresistible. He leaves her breathless, speechless, and irritatingly turned on. He makes her fantasize about him in all kinds of dirty, inappropriate ways.

With the help of her obnoxious, and often times hilarious best friend Amy, Ellen will find herself in several crazy, embarrassing situations. 

This is a story of friendship, love and how one very sarcastic woman can find the strength to pick up the pieces after having her heart broken. 

In her first novel, N.A. Alcorn provides interesting takes on the word vagina, while giving you a reason to re-think your next visit to the Emergency Room. This book is bound to make you laugh, smile, and provide you with enough sarcasm to choke your grandmother. No, N.A. doesn’t want anything bad to happen to your Grandma Ruth, but she does want you to strongly consider re-naming your vibrator after a guy who’s at the top of your spank bank rotation. Be prepared for dripping juice-boxes, awkward pelvic thrusting, and a little suspense to keep your snatch on edge. 

Warning: This novel contains explicit sex, profanity and far too much vaginal humor. This novel is not meant for anti-fornicators, up-tight prudes, or virgins who refuse to go to Pound Town.

Momma's Review

 

 

I'm not usually a big fan of alternate POV books, where an entire book is an alternate POV.  But Remy by Katy Evans is by far my favorite alternate POV book....like ever!  Remy is book 3 in this series and is fully from Remington "Riptide" Tates view of books 1 & 2.  There are parts where it alternates between present and past which gives this book a great feel.  It doesn't follow books 1 & 2 word for word, which is great, but instead gives us a glimpse of Remy in very important parts. 

 

The most amazing part about this book was how it made me feel.  Multiple parts of the book we get to see Remy get speedy, when he starts to go black, and I could actually feel him becoming manic.  At certain points I literally felt myself start to get speedy along with him.  I would start reading at breakneck speed to keep up with his feelings. 

 

One downfall?  This book made me not like Brooke at many parts.  So much so that I had to call another Blogger just to vent about it!  Because we are seeing the hidden parts from the previous books we see how her actions effected him and sometimes caused him more pain.  Personally, I'm a pleaser....I go out of my way to protect and help people.  I come from a long line of doctors and nurses and heaven help me i'll be a nurse eventually too.  I think it's why I wanted to scream at her multiple times throughout the book.  But in the end I still love her..........even though I love Remy more!!!!

 

 

Excerpt

 

 

“Pete, you think I need a sports rehab specialist?” I ask.

“No, Rem.”

“Why not?”

“You’re an asshole, dude. You hardly let the masseuses massage you for more than twenty minutes.”

“I need one now.” Pushing my iPad over to him, I tap the screen and signal to the name below her image. “I need that one.”

Pete lifts an interested eyebrow. “You do. Do you?”

“I need a sports rehab specialist on my payroll. I want her to tend to me every day. In whatever ways they do.”

He smirks. “They don’t do blow jobs, I’ll tell you that.”

“If I wanted a blow job, I could have had three just now. What I want . . .” Once again, my finger taps over her name. “Is this sports rehab specialist.”

Pete’s eyebrows fly up to his hairline, and he leans back and crosses his arms. “What exactly do you want her for?”

I chomp down the rest of my food, then take a long gulp of water so I can speak. “I want her for me.”

“Rem . . .” he says in warning.

“Offer her a salary she can’t decline.”

Pete answers me with a puzzled silence. He seems taken aback and is trying to make sense of me. He’s looking into my eyes, and I can tell he’s observing whether they are black or blue.

I’m not black. So I wait quietly. He sighs, slowly jots down her name, and speaks cautiously. “All right, Remington, but let me say, this has Bad Idea written all over it.”

Shoving my plate aside, I lean back and cross my arms.

My head betrays me half the time. One day, it tells me I am god. The other, it tells me that I not only rule hell, but I invented it. Does Pete think I give one fuck about what his own head thinks about my idea? I don’t listen to my head anymore. I listen only to my gut.

“I want her watching me fight Saturday,” I remind him as I get up and shove my chair back under the table. And I want her watching from the bet seats in the house.”

“Remington . . .”

 “Just do it, Pete,” I say as I cross the living room back to the master.

“I already have the tickets ready to go, dude, but it’s hard enough keeping Diane from knowing of your . . . er, issues . . . It’s going to be even harder to keep it from someone like this sports rehab specialist.”

I prop my shoulder at the threshold of my bedroom and think about that. I lower my voice. “Make her sign a contract, so I have guaranteed time with her. And stabilize me the instant I start losing my shit.”

“Remington, just let me get some other girls—”

“No, Pete. No other girls.”

I shut myself in my room and grab my headphones, then just lie there with my iPod in my hand, staring at it.

What will it be like if I make her mine?

I don’t delude myself into thinking that she will accept me, but what if she does? What if she can understand me? The way I am? The two parts of me? No. Not two parts. Every. Single. Fucking. Part. Of me.

My gut tightens as I remember the way her eyes shone when she looked at me. The way they softened after I kissed her and she looked into my eyes, wanting more of me.

I have never seen a look quite like that before. I have been wanted by thousands of women. Nobody has ever looked at me with such open, frightened longing as her.

She was not frightened of me. She was frightened of “it.” This same thing clenching my gut that has me all tangled up. Every cell in my body is buzzing with awareness. Every inch of my skin is awake. My muscles feel primed like they do when I’m ready to fight. Except I’m not ready to fight now. I’m ready to go get my mate.

God help her.

I called Danika once before I started driving, She didn’t answer which was pretty normal for her. She left her phone all over the place her ringer turned off most of the time because of school. I settled for sending her one clear-cut text.

Tristan: Heading back to Vegas. Try to get the afternoon off. I’d like to take you out.

I was filling up my tank in Barstow when she finally responded.

Danika: Good. I’ve been missing you bad. Jerry says he’ll watch the kids whenever you get here. What should I wear?

I grinned happier that I’d been since I’d last said goodbye to her, weeks ago.

Tristan: The tiniest bikini you own. Dental floss would work, too.

Danika: LOL. You are a pervert…Were you serious about the bikini?

Tristan: Yes. Frankie got us a pool cabana for the afternoon at the Cavendish resort.

Danika: Wow.
She was ready and waiting when I pulled up to Bev’s house.

4.5 What A Great Ending Stars

 

 

Momma's Review

 

I can absolutely say that I loved this series!  And Beyond Eighteen, the final book in the Wilson Mooney series, was the perfect ending for this story.  I was so happy to see that it didn't end in a normal cliché.  I won't spoil the ending for you by saying what does or doesn't happen but it was great to see that Gretchen de la O didn't just pick a cookie cutter ending. 

 

The problems for the characters from book two roll right into book three and the story continues right where it left off.  The ending of Eighteen At Last left me with a heart palpitation so I had to start Beyond Eighteen pretty much immediately...even if it did make a certain hubby roll his eyes!  Max and Wilson continue to grow together on their journey and get over some of the jealousy of the past. 

 

In this third and final book we get to see the characters start to take on more real life adult situations and there were times that I was really worried that they were going to make some horrible choices.  I may have yelled at my ereader a few times because of it! There were a few really surprising parts of the book that I knew had to come but wasn't sure how the author was going to pull it off....but she did....perfectly!  I know it's cryptic....but I don't want to give anything away!

 

The Wilson Mooney Series is an extremely well written series.  It has angst, drama, heartbreak, pain, romance and steam.  Pretty much everything you can ask for in a good classic romance trilogy!

 

Momma's Recommendation:

 

I highly recommend this book to all romance readers.  The entire series was worth it and the fact that all 3 books are out means it's a great book series to read while waiting those long months between books of a series that is unfinished!

Momma's Review

 

After devouring the first book in this series I was excited to jump right into Eighteen At Last by Gretchen de la O.  The problem was that I was a little worried.  There seems to be a pattern of second books in a series falling flat but that was completely untrue for this series!  This second in the series was better than the first!  It's packed with so much more angst and drama that I couldn't stop reading and was up so long that I saw sunrise through my bedroom window!

 

While it's true that our heroine is only a month older than she was in the first book, she is hit with situations that are much older than she is.  She has to deal with extended family, jealousy and betrayal.  Because of this you get to watch her grow and start to change....even if she does make some stupid ass choices!

 

While I was reading the book I thought that it was missing more of what happened when she got back to school...the sneaking around that I was expecting but after finishing the book I can see why it was left out.  Adding that would have made the book trashy.  Gretchen de la O has this amazing way of writing great sex scenes without having to use words like moist, shaft or folds!  It's no secret that I am a lover of smut and my kindle probably shouldn't be looked at my anyone under the age of 18, but the way this story was written was really refreshing.  After reading tons and tons of dirty scenes it was nice to read about sex without it being porn......and no I don't have a fever ;)

 

Watch out cause book two has one hell of a cliffy!  But have no fear because book 3, Beyond Eighteen, is already available!

 

Momma's Recommendation

 

I highly recommend this series to any reader who loves a good romance with a bit of steam and a whole lot of drama!

Synopsis

Abandoned by her mother at the vulnerable age of eight; only to be shipped off to a boarding school in Northern California by her grandparents, Wilson Mooney, is one girl who knows what it’s like to have to grow up way too fast. Now, a month away from turning eighteen and orphaned by the death of her grandparents; she knows exactly what she wants. All it takes is a spontaneous ski trip with her narcissistic roommate to Colorado to make it a reality. When "he" happens to show up at a party in Aspen, Wilson becomes tangled in the powerful emotions of first love, sexual inexperience, and society’s principles. She lives a whirlwind weekend filled with newly discovered boundaries, calloused aches for a family she never had, and all the pressures of keeping their weekend together a secret.

Momma's Review

 

I had the pleasure of meeting Gretchen de la O at the Naughty Mafia Rocks Vegas event this past August and she was most definitely one of the stand out personalities that I met during that event.  Then fast forward to November and I ran into her again at the Rockin Holidays Indie Reader Bash and I think I may have fallen in love with her!  She's one of those personalities that is so big that you can't help to be drawn in and a group of us ended up chatting for hours.  So of course I just HAD to read her debut books, The Wilson Mooney Series.

 

To tell you the truth one of the reasons I hadn't read the book yet was because the title led me to believe that the book was more of a YA novel and I can only handle a few true YAs a year.  But when she updated the cover it definitely put it on my radar and I had to find out more.

 

Almost Eighteen by Gretchen de la O is a well written story about forbidden romance and doing what it takes to get what you want.  The author does an amazing job of walking a very fine line between young romance and "taboo." Because of the age of the characters it would have been very easy to go "too far" and make it a book that many would have found uncomfortable.  But the way she wrote it really made you want to stick up for them and push for a HEA. 

 

There were a few times in the story I had to remind myself of how young the heroine is, at times she sounded like any other 20 something and other times like a teenager.  Her character is complicated by the fact that she had to grow up much faster with the loss of mother and the subsequent stay in boarding school.

 

Overall I really enjoyed book one in this series.  I couldn't put it down and ended up reading it in one day.  Not only that but I immediately picked up and went right into the next book!

 

Momma's Recommendation

 

I highly recommend this book and the series will easily take a spot in my favorite reads of this year.  And the best part.....while this book does have a cliffy, books 2 & 3 are already out!

4 Hot Model Stars!

Momma's Review

*I received a copy of the ARC in exchange for an honest review*

Let me start by saying that I love Kendall Ryan and I'm going to try very hard to keep the fangirling to a minimum!  I got Working It by Kendall Ryan a few weeks ago and couldn't wait to dive in. I actually started reading it the same day I got it and stayed up WAYYYYYY past my bedtime until I passed out on my reader.  I had it read in 2 sittings because I just had to find out what was going to happen.

I really enjoyed Working It.  I've seen others compare it to The Devil Wears Prada, but this book is so much hotter!  The heat, the angst and the drama make it so much more than any comparison could make.  And compared to other books that Kendall has written, this is by far the hottest one that I've had a chance to read.  The characters were great, Emmy wasn't some young, virginal novice and Ben was strong, sexy and playful.  Some of my favorite parts were in the playful banter and messages between the two characters.   

My only suggestion to readers is to skip the prologue, It gives away a bit too much of the story and instead of being blindsided by a great dip on the roller coaster it leaves you almost waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Almost like you know what's coming so instead of just enjoying the book you end up trying to dissect each scene just looking for what's coming.  And personally I like to not know what's coming up, to the point where most of the time I don't read a synopsis or jacket cover.....it just makes the ride more fun!

Momma's Recommendation:

I highly recommend this story to anyone who loves a good romance with a bit of angst and a LOT of heat!
