Wild
Chase (Vengeful Honor Series #1) by L.A. Bressett
Rating: 4 Rocktastic panty rating!
Synopsis:
“Music is a Moral Law, It Gives Soul to the
Universe.” - Plato
Sometimes it doesn't
matter how long you know a person. The effect they can have on you can happen
after four seconds or four years.
In Chase Taylor's case - it's both.
Avery McGuire doesn't just flip on a light inside of her - he sets a blaze to everything holding her back. After only a week together, he has to leave, but he strikes a match before walking away that won't easily burn out.
Four years later, Chase finds herself face to face with the boy -now rock star - who changed everything. The same one she still can't admit to falling head over heels in love with. She has no idea that her world is about to get rocked, in more ways than one.

Excerpt:
"My life has been nothing but
fake smiles, church sermons, chores, early bedtimes, and constant discipline
for things that I’ve done wrong. The other part of me," I smiled up at him
as I looked up from picking at my nails, "this Chase, well, she is the
rebel, so to speak. I have this battery-powered radio hidden under my bed, and
I listen to it every night when I know my parents are sleeping. They don't
believe in popular music, whatever that means. I just know that I need it to
breathe. They would kill me if they knew what I was really doing tonight. I
practically had to sell my soul just to get them to let me spend the night away
from home. If it weren’t for Vic, and the countless hours I spend with her, or
the time I spend attached to her computer, I'd probably be damn near
Amish."
I slapped a hand over my mouth when I
realized I swore, but when he laughed, I found myself laughing, too. “See
mom, no lightning struck me down!” I
thought with a laugh.
"So they keep you sheltered from
everything, huh?" he asked, taking my hand and turning it palm up and
lightly tracing his fingers over it. My heart started to race again. I
swallowed and nodded.
"Some— Sometimes I just wish I
could be like this all the time," I said with my voice catching as I
watched him.
He looked up from my hand, his gray
eyes stirring up those butterflies again. "You should be. No one should
have to pretend to be something else when they are already special
enough."
Yeah, this guy has completely and
utterly ruined me for all other men, I
thought to myself.
I wanted to kiss him so badly when
those words left his lips. He had no idea the effect they had on me. My old
world was barely hanging on by a thread. I had a feeling that kissing him again
would cut me free entirely and leave me spiraling out of control, but I was
almost craving the fall.
Review:
Wild Chase is now on
the top of my favorite rock star love stories list! This has everything you could possibly ask
for…a great romance, all kinds of drama, and a hot love triangle. This story kicks off with Chase Taylor
meeting a sexy musician, Avery McGuire.
Chase comes from a very strict household, so many things are off
limits…including her love of music.
Chase and Avery hit it off with a very steamy love affair, but
unfortunately, he has to leave town and Chase is left with a broken heart that
can’t be filled by anyone else. 
Fast forward four years later,
Chase and her best friend Victoria, are living together in Los Angeles. While helping out Vic with a modeling job,
Chase finds herself face to face with Avery, the lead singer of the famous
Vengeful Honor band. Chase looks a bit
different now with tattoos and purple hair and goes by her middle name, so she
tries to not be recognized. Jesse,
another hottie band member, is pretty charmed by Chase too. Unfortunately, Avery isn’t quite available,
so she hangs out with Jesse. I absolutely
loved the relationship Chase formed with Jesse, even though she felt like her
heart was always with Avery. Jesse and
Chase sure made one hot couple!
There are so many twists and turns that have you craving more! I am so excited to continue reading this series! Ms. Bressett did a fantastic job of creating a beautiful story about destiny and fate after hardships. If you enjoy reading steamy rock star romances…this one is for you!

If you loved Kellan Kyle and Jake
Wethers, then you will just freak out over the hot smokin’ guys of Vengeful
Honor!

In high school, the two bonded over painful breakups, and swore off a relationship to save their friendship. Thirteen years later, Nate has had more than his share of emotionally-unfulfilling, sexual relationships with beautiful women to distract himself from his true romantic feelings.
Synopsis:
Sarah: A snot tsunami!!!! That’s what I would call what happened to me while I was reading!! I knew going in that something emotional was going to transpire, but I was so not prepared for the emotions that overtook me!
Mindy: Well I'm going to Pay It Forward and scream from the rooftops that people MUST put this series at the top of their TBR lists!
Review of Emi Lost and Found Series by Lori Otto
Synopsis:
Emi Lost and Found Series
When a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity takes Nate away from his friend and his comfortable lifestyle, he is forced to reflect on the distinct void that Emi’s absence leaves in his life. To Nate’s surprise, Emi has a similar experience; but as the friends embark upon their journey toward happiness together, destiny reveals other plans for Emi.
TIME STANDS STILL (book two) - Depression threatens all the relationships in Emi Hennigan’s life after a near death experience leaves her injured and feeling alone in a world she barely recognizes. On a night that is supposed to signify a new beginning in her life, she loses everything she loves.
It’s on that very same night, though, that Emi has a chance meeting with a man from her past who has the power to bring her more happiness than she’s ever known. Jack Holland is on a mission to rescue Emi from the pain that’s been consuming her, but his patience is tested as Emi holds on to the memory of the only man she’s ever truly loved.
NEVER LOOK BACK (book three) - Jack Holland finally has everything a man could want. After a lengthy courtship that has required persistence and self-restraint, Emi Hennigan– the woman Jack has been fantasizing about since college– has fallen in love with him. Together, the couple sets out to create their own happily-ever-after.
It’s only when Emi delivers some unwelcome news that Jack begins to question everything about the woman he loves. It will take a considerable amount of understanding and sacrifice for Jack to accept the future Emi can offer him– a future he never imagined for himself.
Synopsis:
Not Today but Someday:
After the 3-volume Emi Lost & Found series was published, readers wanted more. This is for the readers – the story of how Nate and Emi met.
In December of 1994, when she was a junior in high school, Emi Hennigan discovered her father's infidelity. Forced to transfer schools mid-year, she wasn't trying to make new friends. In that same month, sophomore Nate Wilson's girlfriend broke up with him. Searching for someone to fill the void left by his first love, he meets Emi in his art class. Nate knows he wants Emi from the moment he sees her. Emi knows she needs Nate after one night together. A life-long friendship is born, and a pact is made to ensure that nothing will come between them. This novella is the prequel to the Emi Lost & Found series.
Review:
We give the Emi Series: a 5 I have lost and found my panties rating!
Mindy: YAY!! I HAVE FINALLY MET ONE OF MY NEW FAVORITE SERIES!!!! It has seemed like it's been forever that I have had a serious book hangover...This did it!
Sarah: This series left me in the mother of all book hangovers!! I needed therapy to just be able to function daily! I mean, after reading these books I couldn’t even make myself read anything else!! I just wanted more.
Mindy: Well a friend recommended these books to me a while back, and for whatever reason, I kept putting them off. I could kick myself for doing that!
Sarah: I know exactly what you mean!! I had these and just kept skipping over them. I could literally whip my own ass for not reading these sooner. Think of that time with Nate that I missed out on!!
Mindy: This series sucked me in at the very beginning with Emi and Nate. Without giving any details away, I loved the way their relationship was already established and how it grew throughout the first book.
Sarah: It sucked me in for sure! And honestly, I don’t know if it will ever release me from it’s hold. The dynamic relationship between Emi and Nate just has such a natural flow, it keeps you hanging on their every word.
Mindy: I was warned to have a box of tissues handy. Even with that warning, I really had no idea what I would be in for! I just ended up snotting all over my comforter instead because of the amount of tears.
Sarah: A snot tsunami!!!! That’s what I would call what happened to me while I was reading!! I knew going in that something emotional was going to transpire, but I was so not prepared for the emotions that overtook me!
Mindy: I certainly don't want this to stop someone from reading this though. There are so many happy moments and characters that you will absolutely fall in love with.
Sarah: This series is totally different from anything I have read before. It deals with true love, and the different ideas/thoughts the characters have about the meaning of “true love”.
Mindy: Ok, so once we see the exciting relationship blossom between Emi and Nate, we meet Jack. Just when I think that I have fallen for Nate, I fall for Jack!
Sarah: Jack…….ahhhhh Jack!! What’s not to love?? This man comes with the whole package, and then some!! Maybe a bag of chips too!
Mindy: Jack is just one of the most understanding, caring, and lovable heroes I have ever read!
Sarah: That man rode in on a whole herd of white horses! BEST KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR EVER!!!
Mindy: Emi is an amazing heroine who goes through tremendous highs and lows. Jack is always there to help her pick up the pieces to her life and to help her to live it fully.
Sarah: Even through all the ups and downs of Emi’s life, I never really disliked her. There were times I wanted her to wise up sooner than she did, but she never veered into bitch slap territory.
Mindy: I understand what you mean. I felt like she really had good reasons to make a lot of decisions that she had to make because of the situations she was in.
Sarah: Yes! If anyone ever had a right to be the whiny heroine, it would be Emi. Maybe that’s part of the reason I enjoyed this series so much, Emi handles everything thrown at her!
Mindy: I honestly don't know what I would have done in her position in many of those circumstances.
Sarah: I would’ve been admitting myself to the nearest nut house…...She handles her situation with a maturity beyond her years. But then Jack is there to help her along the way, and her amazing family support system.
Mindy: Oh I just love all the family members and how they are such an important and supportive part of the lives of the main characters.
Sarah: The whole series does a wonderful job of weaving all of the characters together. The backstory of how everyone’s lives intertwine makes for an interesting read.
Mindy: It was recommended to me to read the Prequel after reading the trilogy, and I agree! There is a little bit of foreshadowing there.
Sarah: I definitely agree on the foreshadowing. Not only that though, but I feel like the story held more meaning by reading the Prequel last. Knowing what is going to happen in the future makes each interaction with Emi and Nate in the past that much sweeter.
Sarah: I’m not one for fighting, usually I’m a lover….but if you’re not reading this series, you need a swift kick to the rear!! Get in where you fit in peeps!! Pick this one up ASAP!

What happens when the unknown threatens all of their dreams? Will Logan and Andrew survive their love, interrupted?
Sarah: Ms. Warner is not shy about penning a hot sex scene, and the sexting……...oh my the sexting!!!!
Review of Love Interrupted by A.J. Warner
Welcome Sassters! Today we are reviewing the debut novel from A.J. Warner, a fellow Texan/Southern gal.
Synopsis:
Logan Brooks and Andrew Eastin shared a once in a lifetime love. After losing her parents and overcoming many obstacles, she could not handle the possibility of losing him, too. She loved him enough to walk away, for both of their sakes.
As tragedy strikes again, Logan is on a downward spiral. Andrew knows she needs protection from herself, and he needs to love her through it, even if only from a distance.
When fate intervenes and allows them a second chance at love, will Logan and Andrew risk it? The Attraction is undeniable. The sexual tension, relentless. She is everything he has ever wanted. He sweeps her off her feet, renewing all that was lost.
Andrew promised her forever, but can words ever be enough? Can love prevail when life has different plans—bringing on more pain and emotions than imaginable? When lies and deceit corrupt the one thing sacred to them, plans will be ruined, promises will be broken, and hearts will be shattered.
Review:
We give Love Interrupted: a 4 Southern hotness panty rating!!
Sarah: I’m putting out an All Points Bulletin here and alerting everyone that there’s a new Book Boyfriend in town! His name is Andrew Eastin, and he is H-O-T, HOT!
Mindy: I mean, really?? Who doesn’t love a hot, sexy, Southern boy?
Sarah: And it doesn’t hurt that the boy is banking, he’s a billionaire to boot! But he’s also got some good ol Southern boy manners that would make any girl swoon.
Mindy: I always love to read about young love and how it develops over the years. Logan and Andrew have a very special relationship early on and it just keeps getting better throughout the story.
Sarah: That’s what makes this story so different though. Andrew and Logan have an early relationship, that Logan ends for reasons she keeps from Andrew. She sacrifices her feelings to keep him secure in his future.
Mindy: It was pretty upsetting to read about all the issues this poor couple had! They go through a lot of shit!
Sarah: Yes they certainly did! Logan has a lot of loss very early on in her life, and I think that makes her very withdrawn and emotionally closed off. I will have to admit that in the beginning I had some dislike going on for Lo.
Mindy: Logan and I have some serious problems that we need to work out. Why did I not fall in love with her as much as I did Andrew?? Help me, Sarah!!
Sarah: From the beginning of this book to the end, I felt like I watched Lo “grow up” some. She began to shed all of her emotional baggage and realize that she needed to live for herself. That she deserved a shot at that once in a lifetime love.
Mindy: I think one of my biggest pet peeves while reading is when characters do not communicate. I feel like if they just talked some shit out, a lot of their problems could have been resolved pretty quickly.
Sarah: Girl you hit my thoughts spot on! Communication was the key that was found lacking here. Or maybe Lo just deals with things differently than I would…….hmmm my hubby would probably jump for joy if I kept quiet as much as she does. lol
Mindy: Well, they sure made up for lack of communication with orgasmic make-up sex!!! I could have read that for days!
Sarah: Ms. Warner is not shy about penning a hot sex scene, and the sexting……...oh my the sexting!!!!
Mindy: There is a mystery element to it that kept me on my toes. I really can not wait to see how this story unfolds!
Sarah: Somebodies got some splanin to do in the next installment!!!! I love a good cliff though, it keeps me coming back for more!
