Review: Impulses by V. L. Brock

So I had the wonderful pleasure of getting an ARC of Impluses by VL. Brock of her debut and this is my long over due review.  First I would like to say for a first book she knocked it out the box. It had everything that you can want in a book plus some.

Meet Samantha A.K.A Sam who you can say made some wrong choices in her life after a relationship she thought she was in love but the man she was with belittled her cheated and broke her heart so after that she was done with relationships not to turn back down that road ever again.  She started living her life in a wild way by having many one night stands with many different men for the next five years that she would meet in clubs and bars and never look back. Until one day she goes for a job interview and meets Hayden Wentworth of Wentworth & Associates Law Firm.

Meet my Hayden (swoon) so OMG he is the most kindest, patient and lovable man ever.  Now don't get me wrong he himself has also been in a trying relationship that pretty much took a toll on him and the people surrounding him in his circle.  Once the story starts unfolding you may want to take Addison ( Hayden's ex) to a back alley and do some damage she is that vindictive.  Now you are going to have to read the book to find out why.  Ok back to Hayden he owns a Law firm he's tall has a hot body and chocolate brown eyes to die for now if that dose t scream new book boyfriend than I don't know what else you can be looking for.

Sam with her demons of her past is very doubtful of ever having a serious relationship and seems that if something seems off her impulse is to get out of quickly and not look back.  Where Hayden believes that you have to work on a relationship and go through your trials and errors especially if you love someone and need to prove your love to them and make them believe that they are not the person that was with you before.

Impulses will have you on a roller coaster ride of a relationship but it will make you realize that if you work hard enough on something you believe in it's worth it.  Even though some of your impulses maybe wrong you have to be truthful to yourself and your partner to make it work.  it also shows you how to two broken hearts can be mended back together once you find the one who completes you.

V.L. Brock really did an outstanding job and left a lasting impression with me I can't wait to read more from this author  in the future.

Blog Tour & Review: Alluring Ties by Skye Turner

Synopsis:

Alluring Ties is a companion novella to the Bayou Stix series. It’s Book 2.5 Bayou Stix. In Alluring Turmoil, we were introduced to Lexi Sloane’s two best friends, Bradi and Erik. Alluring Ties will take you on a journey into their pasts and bring you to their present.

Bradi St. James is a force to be reckoned with. She’s strong, independent, and has something to prove. All of her life, she’s watched the world around her and is determined to have a different fate from what she’s grown up with. The path you’ve always believed to be the right path, may not be your destiny after all.

Erik Jenson is a kind man. A nurturer and the kind of friend everyone wants to have. Growing up surrounded by friends and family who support him, he’s a confident man. The choices he must make and the chances he must take as he lives and grows make him the strong, loving man he becomes.

Alluring Ties contains explicit sex, including some male/male, strong language and is not intended for anyone under the age of 18 or anyone who does not like M/M romance.

Disclaimer from Bradi St. James
Alluring Ties is NOT a full length novel, but is a companion novella to the Bayou Stix series.
It is recommended to be read in this order:
Alluring Turmoil, Book 1 Bayou Stix
Alluring Seduction, Book 2 Bayou Stix
Alluring Ties, Book 2.5 Bayou Stix

There are some situations which are not for everyone included in this novella: cheating, male/male romance and sex, and like all of Skye’s books, explicit language and hot ass sex.
If you can’t handle it, don’t read it. It’s that simple. But if you want to know more about myself and Erik, then turn the page and get started!

Kia's Review:

Alluring Ties by Skye Turner was a wonderful compliment to Alluring Seduction and Alluring Turmoil. Even though this book is a 2.5 in the series it is packed full with a lot Alluring things that book 1&2 you might of felt well why is Erik like this and why is Bradi such a crazy out going girl.  Well you will find out in this book. It only took me a day to read so that was even better and as always Skye knows how to make you laugh and yell at your Kindle like you belong in a ward somewhere with a stray jacket ( well at least those are looks I got in Starbucks while I was reading) LOL.


Anyway I knew going in it was going to be Erik and Bradi story but what I didn't think was going to be so detailed.  The title really sums it up Alluring Ties tied everything up from books 1&2 everything really came into focus.  You really got to know Bradi better and how Micah and got together and what really went down in there relationship.  You can also see all the of Bradi's craziness and fun person she is and why.  Erik well we all know how good he looks but damn I really wish he wasn't gay because he is such a man you want to bring home to mama but I'm goof with him being a friend and you will see how devoted a friend he is and what his relationship struggles he had before he met Alec.

Now when you start this story it backs to when they all meet and how they all became good friends Erik, Micah, Bradi and yes Lexi is even in it to (gotta love love Lexi she is a firecracker). I loved that this story carried you thru the time they met to the present.  With the dual POV of both Erik and Bradi it made it that much better.  Oh did I mention some M/M sex and yes it's HOT.  Now don't worry there some regular knocking boots but the M/M she's makes it that much HOTTER <3 .

So as I wrap up my review with a few quotes from the book don't forget to get your copy today and if you haven't read Alluring Seduction or Alluring Turmoil making it an Alluring weekend and get your copies or if you read them start re-reading.

"No time for you two rabbits to bump monkey get your asses out here" ~ Erik

"I've been talking about purple aliens and having wild monkey sex with Matt Bomer for ten minutes and all you've been doing is grunting at me" ~Lexi

"Smut books and B.O.B don't count, I mean a flesh and blood penis" ~Bradi
