*****BREACH NOVEL REVIEW*****

ANA'S  REVIEW OF "BREACH."


Breach (Breach, #1)
           BY  K.I. LYNN'S


Recommended for: to every one

Read in March, 2013 — I own a copy, read count: 1

The novel starts off with
Delilah Palmer at work,she is a lawyer working for Law Holloway and Holloway.
When her boss Jack Holloway asked to speak with her for a moment. She panics.This is were she see's him for the first time.
Delilah’s mouth dropped open at the tall god-like man with light brown hair and seductive blue eyes that stood in front of her. Her boss said to her,” This is Nathan Thorne take good care of him.”
One day they both were in a office together igniting there encounter that led to a secret relationship.
Reason being at Holloway and Holloway Law has a strict non-fraternization policy.
Meaning a relationship with my partner is against company policy.


Delilah hides secrets from her childhood that left her scared. Nathan Thorne has demons of his he hides.
Basically Delilah and Nathan’s heads are pretty much both screwed up. With trauma in their past beating them down.
Nathan Nathan pocesses a sexual control with Delilah giving into theirlust
having Hard, needy, punishing, animalistic sex with one another.
Nathan’s dirty sex talk that drives Delilah over the edge of arousal.
Slowly secrets start being exposed.
When Delilah’s ex- Andrew that she dated for two years comes back into Delilah’s life.
Andrew and Nathan exchange a brief glares at each other.
Neither of them likes the thought of sharing Delilah and don’t hide that fact.
When Delilah’s friend Caroline from work is the first to find there secret relationship.
Caroline kept their secret a secret being happy for them both.
But when Andrew finds out him and Nathan go face to face full of rage with one another.
Things get out of hand as Delilah want to get them both into her apartment, as Andrew watches Nathan use his key to Delilah’s apartment he blows up.
"He has a fu@king key? To your apartment? Hell no!" Andrew bellowed.
"Andrew! You don't know anything about what’s going on, so shut up!" Delilah defended.
Many things start to go down hill after that for Nathan and Delilah will there feels be strong enough to work through them? I know the answer . I don’t want to spoil it for any one. This novel was addictive and hard to stop reading. This is all kinds of things, sex encounters are hot, mouth hanging open a lot, being shocked too and had me tearing at the emotional things they had thrown at them both.
This novel is a keeper. I loved it so much and enjoyed K.I. Lynn’s great story. I can turly say I can't wait for novel #2.


RATED (OUT OF 5 STARS)  5 STARS

BLOOD FLOWS DEEP BY N. Isabelle Blanco




 bfde
Publication Date: March 7, 2013
Source: Publisher via Net Galley
Summary (from Goodreads): Dyletri, God of Fertility, has locked away his powers. No woman is allowed to touch him, not until he can return his long-dead lover back to life. All he has to do is sacrifice one human girl, a girl who unlocks his powers and rips his dormant lust right out of his body. Trapped by his promise, Dyletri has no choice but to watch Ismini die, no matter how much he wants her.

Yet the darkness of his calling is spiraling within him, demanding he claim the human as his. If he goes back on his promise, the energy of the Fates will cause untold destruction in the Universe. That doesn’t change how Dyletri’s begun exhibiting symptoms that point to more than just lust. How does he allow Ismini to die when she’s come to own him from the inside out?

Desire and torment spiral into something much darker than obsession, more turbulent than an addiction, and something much more brutal than a mere soul-mating. As a war is being rekindled right under his nose, Dyletri will have to come to terms with a destiny eleven thousand years in the making. He thought he’d known what path his future would take, but he’d been wrong. Now the one woman he truly loves might pay the price for his decision.

They met in college when they were nineteen and married eight years later. A friend coming over one morning thought it was best to tell Wendy about Bill’s affair. Holes in their marriage Wendy couldn’t figure out now make perfect sense. Wendy also had her own affair’s She confessed to Bill. One day Wendy finds Bill’s diary in the clothset confirming names and of many of his infidelities. Finding more evidence around the house like, credit card receipts for “gentlemen’s clubs”, and American express statements. Wendy confronts Bill. Bill is forgiven. Later on Wendy finds out of many more affair’s and a child she didn’t know about. Wendy starts her own affairs and that’s how most of their marriage goes. Wendy tries to think later on why she’d had affair’s and tries to figure out were their marriage went wrong. This novel was a roller coaster and I enjoyed the ride.

Book Description.
(From Amazon.)
The Average American Marriage, the long-awaited sequel to Chad Kultgen’s much debated, always controversial The Average American Male, is a matter-of-fact foray into the male mind and sexual fantasy.Now married with children, Kultgen's lewd and sex-obsessed narrator once again offers up his deep (and not so deep) thoughts on love, marriage, kids, and (naturally) sex: from birthday sex to interns to parenting, The Average American Male looks upon the institution of marriage with the same deadpan smirk he has brought to the rest of his sex-addled, perennially disaffected life.
......................................

My Novel  Review.
…………………………
"The Average American Marriage A Novel” A long five year’s we’ve waited for the highly
Controversial sequel to the first installment, “The Average American Male A Novel” By Chad Kulltgen. 
The  nameless offensive dirty mouthed narrator is back now married to his wife Alyna with two children,  Andy  and Jean .
Once again the nameless narrator is very blunt with his language in this novel and takes us inside the male point of view of his marriage and dirty thought’s.
The story starts with an unhappily married bored with his sexless marriage
to  Alyna. 
Spending most of his day watching  porn and  dirty fantasies with various women ,run through his head.  As his mind plays out sexual encounters. 
One day at work changes everything in his life as he is captivated  by the twenty one year old college intern Holly McDonnel.
She’s fuc@ken hot!.
……………………..
“Scene  from  novel”(page 62)
………………………
I’m closing down my computer at work and finishing a list of calls I need to make in the morning when Holly knocks on the door frame of my office.                    
I say, “Hey.”                                           
She says, “Hey.”                     
“What’s up?
Uh, I know this is probably like a serious hassle, and it’s no big deal if you can’t do it, but I kind of need a favor.”
“Sure, what do you need?”
“I kind of need a ride home. My sister borrowed my car to go to Santa Barbara for some work thing this morning, and she was supposed to have it back by now but she got stuck up there, and all of my friends are doing stuff and can’t pick me up and you’re like the only person I really know here, so I thought I’d ask. And, seriously, it’s no problem if you can’t. I can just call my parents or something but I was trying to not have to deal with them.”
 .......................
Back to Review.
……….................
When the opportunity presents it’s self would he take it?
It would never happen.
All the fantasies in his head were just that, fantasies.  That’s what he thought til he found himself in the back seat of his car having sex with twenty one year old Holly.

……………………..
Author’s Plot.
……………………

The point Chad Kultgen is getting across to his reader’s is that ,  The nature  of an relationship changes with time it fades.
Relationships are not  the old days any more.
….......................
 Final thoughts.
............................
All the events in this novel were and seemed very much truthful. The characters written by Chad Kultgen  seemed to be realistic as well.
The character I enjoyed reading about most was Holly McDonnel.
The reason why is her smart phone she uses to connect to her Face Book through the novel is very common these days.
The thing I disliked about the novel would be reading the thoughts of mans head and how they really think.  Being married and reading this novel scared me the heck out of me.  But other than that I really loved this story line in this novel.  I’ve never found myself so addicted into a novel til I read this one.
The only thing I was hoping for a better out come to the nameless narrator. I recommend this novel to anyone and everyone.
I really hope for a book 3 in this series.

 RATED (OUT OF 5 STARS)  5 STARS

This novel is about Tagg Holland

Their marriage was joyful at a time, but when their schedules allowed them to be together. Crystal would be shooting a movie and Tagg was on tour with his band.
In between time Tagg’s life style he wasn’t faithful.
Tagg wasn’t proud of this. One night Tagg and Ronnie attend a party a woman stated talking to Tagg. Drinks one after another made Tagg lose judgement. Tagg invited the girl from the club back to his house he shared with his wife. In there bed room Tagg started to have sex with her.

Novel Details.
Delilah Palmer has control of her life and outward personality, blocking the truth just below the surface. A façade meant to be normal and hide the scars of her childhood. She’s made a good life for herself, became a lawyer, and is free from the tortured past that haunts her daily. Until he comes along and breaks open the cracks.

Nathan Thorne has a past of his own. On the surface he is loved by all, personable, extroverted; everything Delilah isn’t. Hidden beneath is a dark and tormented man that only Delilah has to power to unveil.

Crammed in a small office together they see through each other’s masks, and the draw becomes too much, igniting an explosive relationship. Holloway and Holloway Law has a strict non-fraternization policy, forcing them to conceal their breach. Despite their efforts, separation becomes impossible, deceptions escalate, and Nathan has trouble coping; teetering on the edge of being overtaken by his past demons.

What secrets does he harbor that could keep him from giving in? What keeps him from healing and moving forward? And Delilah, where does she fit into all this turmoil?

Can they accept love and deal with all the trials that come their way when secrets are exposed? Or will they fall through the cracks of their pasts and be consumed by all that haunts them?
