My review of The Wingman Chronicles by James Holeva. Reviewed by Kris Adams

I was given the opportunity to read this strangers book, given to me personally by the man himself. Let me start off with, you think FSOG is hot, you ain't seen nothin yet!
This book had me so mesmerized, I could not stop reading it! I continued to research James and found him to be an intriguing man. Real and raw. My favorite kind of guy, which in my world, seems nonexistent.
There was so much to this book that made you laugh your ass off because its in fact "REAL." James is a real life player with an 8 incher that I would LOVE to see for myself. Even the blue haired ladies got to see it. I feel a little jealous of that one. He's the perfect man that a woman needs, funny, honest, good looking, and a dirty man that can cum more times than I have ever experienced with a man! Like a dream man, even if its just for one night!
Lets see, I officially love "lobster" now. I now want to attend a funeral, I want to meet his lovely sister that just cracks me up, and, well, I'd like to be alone in a bathroom with him for some "alone time."
Now lets get to Noelle. This broad, aka, whore just drove me nuts! She's all over the place. I kept waiting for the part where she would finally admit she loved saying Fuck Me Daddy because she was abused by her father, but that never came out. Then she wanted to be called James "Dirty Whore!" She asked for it, he did what she asked and then on a normal day when he called her a whore she would flip her lid, but the next day she was saying "Fuck Me Daddy, call me your whore!" I don't know, I think she's like bipolar or possible split personalities.
Then her fugly friend Renee? Ya, I coulda throat punched the bitch, like legit!
I'm really hoping the whole "ending with Noelle" is not over, but then again I do. She's a mind fuck is what she is. But who am I to judge?
This is by far, the BEST book I have read to date since my personal reading and writing quest began about 2 years ago.
I give MAJOR props to James for this and cannot wait to see what he has in store for us next. And really hoping to meet him in person someday, bathroom sex or not, I don't care, I just wanna chill with this crazy dude! I'm sure it would be a good time to remember.
I definitely recommend this book for anyone who is into real life stories! It's takes a genuine person to come out and do what he did and I congratulate him on his future endeavors. He will be a very well know man all over, soon enough, especially with my personal "PIMPIN" skills!
One last thing! If you didn't know, James is a comedian/sexpert/actor/and pretty much a jack of all trades! Check out his TV pilot here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T8vXGxJwDs. Make sure to check him out on his comedy/book tour!
Thank you James for giving me the opportunity to read your book and also thank you for your help with the things you have done for me.

What are you waiting for you crazy broads?!?!?! GO GET THIS BOOK AND READ IT!

The Captive Series by Erica Stevens



Erica Stevens is, hands down, one of my favorite Paranormal authors.  I've decided to highlight her series after the release of the 4th and final book in the series Salvation.  Not only is she an amazing author, she is one of the sweetest ladies I've had the opportunity to meet.  This is one of the MANY perks of being a "book" blogger, you get to interact with such awesome people.  This post will focus on my review of Salvation, however it will highlight each of the books in Erica Steven's "Captive" series.

NEWEST RELEASE:



BOOK DESCRIPTION

4th and last book in the Captive Series.

Imprisoned by Caleb and at the mercy of the king, Aria is determined not to let them break her. However, the more atrocities she witnesses, the more she realizes there are some horrors no one can withstand, and sometimes survival isn’t always the best option.


Tormented by the loss of Aria, Braith is forced to choose between his need to rescue her, and the impending rebel war he’s been chosen to lead. Fighting against the darkness which threatens to drag him into its tempting depths, Braith struggles not to become like the one thing he hates the most, his father.

Faced with their own separate challenges, Aria and Braith must come to terms with who they are, what they want, and the likelihood that they can never be together as the inevitable war looms on the horizon. A war that all of them will fight but not all of them will survive.

FORBIDDEN LOVE ~ UNCONVENTIONAL LOVE ~ UNDENIABLE LOVE

A Romeo & Juliet love story....IF Romeo were a sexy-blind-Vampire-prince and if Juliet was a tree climbing-woods woman.
 
The Captive Series has been one of my favorites every since I read the 1st chapter of Captured.  I think I facebook "stalked" Erica Stevens for what feels like FOREVER as I awaited the release of  Salvation.  I normally don't start reading a book with expectations, or preconceived notions of how the book will be...HOWEVER, with Salvation, I started it with the expectation that Erica Stevens would take me on an unforgettable journey with nail-biting twists and turns along the way, and she did NOT disappoint.  I am going to try my best to give this review without laying on the "spoilers"...bare with me, it's one of my faves, that may be hard to accomplish!
 
Erica Stevens has the ability to draw you in with her vivid depictions of the character's surroundings.  While reading Salvation, I was IN the forest with Braith, seeing red wanting to rush ahead and search for my love.  I FELT cold, trapped and confined with Arianna in her cell.  All of this due to Erica's ability to pull you into her writing.  After reading the 4th book  in the Captive Series, you can't help but become attached to all the supporting characters.  I want Jack to have his own book...I want Ashby & Melinda to share their story...I grew to admire Xavier and I want to hear more of how he came to be...I think the brothers Daniel and William should find happiness and love...Gideon...Max...if it was up to me the Captive Series would have 12 books!!  For this review I'll focus on Arianna and Braith.
 
Arianna-proof that GREAT things come in small packages.  She's one of my favorite book heroines because of her spirit and her inner strength.  Since Captured Arianna has been put into situations that would mentally (and physically) break the average person, yet she not only endures, she survives and teaches lessons along the way.  Salvation wasn't any different.  In Salvation she shined.  We got to see how selfless Ari is, she never hesitates to put her love for Braith and her family first.  Her size never impedes her ability to fight for her self respect...her being human and placed in the path of powerful Vampires like Atticus and Caleb, she never lets her fears show, even as they try to break her spirit.  Throughout Salvation, Ari's inner strength shines through.  Towards the middle of the book we are enlightened as to another reason why she has this resolve and her abilities....and in the end everything is as it should be.


Braith-How can you not LOVE Braith? His unconditional love for Arianna is awe-inspiring. Since Captured they formed a bond that was unbreakable...unavoidable, and no matter how many ways people attempted to keep them apart, they have that "link" that binds them together. We saw how he lost control in Renegade, after Aria left him and the havoc that he is capable of wreaking. Being separated from Aria in Refugee, we saw how lost he was at the beginning of Salvation.  However in Salvation we get to see the softer side of Braith, and we see that even while lost, he manages to stay in control and focus on the important task at hand, reuniting with his other half: Arianna.  Braith will do ANYTHING to protect Aria, even take on his Father Atticus, the oldest and most powerful vampire alive...and his brother Caleb, the most evil and vicious.  I think during Salvation I was able to focus on Braith's heart/humanity...you can see and feel his love for Arianna.  I was cheering for them throughout this entire series, and if the series had to end, I'm content with the ending :)
 
 
LASTLY....if you are looking for a love story, that has action, thrills and suspense, SALVATION is for you!  Erica Stevens managed to pack a huge punch in her final book in the Captive series. START FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE SERIES! It's totally worth it!  I am hopeful  **sending vibes Erica's way** that she will take pity on her die hard fans and give us a few more character books from this series :) 
 
 

Book 1:  CAPTURED

Captured, taken from her beloved family and woods, Aria’s biggest fear is not the imminent death facing her, but that she will be chosen as a blood slave for a member of the ruling vampire race. No matter what becomes of her though, Aria knows that she must keep her identity hidden from the monsters imprisoning her. She has already been branded a member of the rebellion, but the vampires do not know the true depth of her involvement with it, and they must never know.

Though hoping for death, Aria’s world is turned upside down when a vampire named Braith steps forward to claim her. He delays her execution, but Aria knows it’s only a matter of time before he drains her, and destroys her. Especially once she learns his true identity as a prince within the royal family; the same royal family that started the war that ultimately brought down humankind, reducing them to nothing more than servants and slaves.

Aria is determined to hate the prince, determined not to give into him in anyway, but his strange kindness, and surprising gentleness astonish her. Torn between her loyalties to the rebellion, and her growing love for her greatest enemy, Aria struggles to decide between everything she has ever known, and a love she never dreamed of finding

Book 2:  RENEGADE

Though she is free of the palace, rescued from her position as a blood slave, Aria is haunted by the memories of her time spent within the fortress, tormented by memories of Braith, the prince that betrayed her and shattered her heart.

Every day is a struggle to get through, and the only solace she is able to find is with Max, her best friend, and fellow captive. Though Max does not understand her bond to Braith, he knows some of what she endured, and helps to ease some of the tattered pieces of her soul. Aria slowly begins to salvage the broken parts of her wounded spirit by throwing herself into the wonder of the woods she had so greatly missed, and the secure and reassuring love that Max freely gives her. Her world is thrown into a tailspin again though when a marauding group of vampires destroy the caves she had found temporary shelter in.

Scattered about the forest, seeking to stay hidden and find her family, Aria is stunned when Braith, the monster that savaged her heart, reappears. Stunned by his sudden arrival in her world, Arianna is uncertain if he has come to recapture her, or to kill her for daring to escape.

Book 3:  REFUGEE

Whispers, rumors, and horror stories abound about The Barrens and the strange creatures that lurk within them. Determined to find the remaining vampires that stood against his father in the war, Braith knows that it’s dangerous to enter the inhospitable land, but that they must if they are to have a chance at gaining allies to help overthrow the king. Though he once knew the powerful vampires that are rumored to reside within The Barrens, he is unsure what to expect if they succeed in finding them. He will do whatever is necessary though to ensure a future for himself and Aria.

Aria is fearful of entering into the land she’s heard nothing but cautionary tales about, but she’s determined to help Braith locate the vampires that may help them with their cause. She is fascinated and amazed by the world they uncover within, one that is unlike anything she has ever seen before. However, the more immersed they become in a world that she doesn’t entirely understand, the more she realizes that it won’t be the war, or even the king that will eventually tear her and Braith apart.

It will be her.

COVER REVEAL: Who He Is

 

Title:                               Who He Is

Author:                          Shanora Williams writing as S.Q. Williams

Release Date:              July 18th, 2013

Cover Designer:         Regina Wamba of Mae I Design


Book Description:
 
Eliza Smith has never been the one to seek a relationship. She’s never dated a guy in her life, never even hugged a man (outside of her father/manager of the hot and popular rock band, FireNine) but when she decides to spend her summer on tour with FireNine, it all changes. Eliza really gets to meet Gage Grendel - her former crush from high school and the lead singer of FireNine - and witness sides to him to which she’ll begin to truly despise.




She’ll ignore him, she’ll dislike his ways, she’ll do anything to try and stay away from him until Gage finally gets her to slip up and give in. She agrees on a casual fling with Gage, but soon they’ll both see how the fling will blur into something they can’t control and when it’s finally time for Eliza to go and accomplish her own dreams, she’ll know there’s more she took from Gage than she ever thought possible.





Excerpt:

Lifting his hands, Gage gripped the edge of the pool and pressed his arousal against me. When he was done tasting my neck, he devoured my lips, and I couldn’t help it; I wrapped my arms around his neck. My legs squeezed tighter around him, wanting to feel his hardness against me. It was turning me on in more ways than one. His silky tongue, although laced with alcohol, tasted sweet as it ran over mine.
 
He started to rub against me and I moaned, running my fingers through his slick hair. His hard chest was pressed firmly against mine, no space between us. The little nibbles and bites he took of my lower lip were driving me insane. His fingers that snuck beneath my bathing suit to slide inside me caused my moans to grow louder and his lips to fall so he could grunt against my neck.
 
I was spiraling, bucking against him once again. “You like that?” he whispered gruffly in my ear. He reached behind me with his other hand and unhooked the top of my bathing suit. I could have stopped him, but I didn’t. A growl came from his throat as he stared at my bare chest.
 
I nodded my head at his question, my body begging him to continue. Who knew his fingers could be so magical? He was pushing in and out of me, circling his thumb across my core. I was so close. My fingernails bit into his skin and he went faster, faster, faster, sending me higher and higher… but then he just stopped. Right when I was about to reach the point of it all.
 
“What the hell are you doing?” I breathed raggedly, aggravated.
 
He smirked, looking into my eyes and pulling his fingers out of my bottoms. I wanted to beg for his fingers not to leave, but I didn’t. It would have been too embarrassing and shallow. “Since we’re only ‘friends,’ I can’t give you the full effect.”
 
I scowled at him. “You’re kidding.” He raised an eyebrow. “Right?
 
“No, Ellie. Let’s just do this shit. I swear it’ll be fun.”
 
“What do you mean?” I asked, but I knew exactly what he was talking about.
 
“Nothing between us has to change. It doesn’t have to be serious and I think if we try to continue this little war, someone’s gonna get hurt. Why not just give in to the temptation? We can still be friends, but maybe we can involve the bed and handcuffs I brought up to before at the club?”
 
He gave a lazy smirk and I snickered. I thought it over, replaying the conversation Montana and I had just moments ago, knowing he was right. I wanted to do more things with Gage than I thought, and with him giving me an orgasm the night before, I was desperate and in need of more. It was bad, but it felt good to be satisfied—to reach the point of bliss and not come down for hours. I didn’t want anyone else in the band to try and give me that kind of satisfaction. Gage was my best bet, so I shrugged and thought to myself, Fuck it. Montana was right. I had to take risks and I was going to be taking a big one with Gage Grendel.
 
“Okay,” I said right before kissing him and allowing him to finish what he started.
