Logan by Jay McLean ~ Review, Giveaway & Quote-tastic (@JayMcLeanAuthor)

I have been DYING for the next book in the Preston Brothers series, and Logan is finally here! It was a heartbreaking, but beautiful read, that was so hard to put down! I am loving all these brothers, I tell ya!
Logan (Preston Brothers, #2)
Title: Logan
Author: Jay McLean
Series: Preston Brothers #2
Genre: NA Contemporary Romance
Published: October 1st 2017

As a kid, Logan Preston was a brat.
Through his teens, he became the bad boy.
Now, at nineteen, no one knows what the hell to expect.

High school dropout, Logan Preston is a
good-for-nothing stoner.
A black sheep.
A disappointment.
The worst Preston Punk of the lot.
At least that’s how everyone in his small town
makes him feel.
But Logan Preston has secrets.
Secrets so dark and so deep below the surface that the only way he can fight them is to stay high, high, high.
He wears cockiness as a mask.
Arrogance as his armor.
Until one girl, one night, asks one life-changing question:
What's beneath the bravado, Logan Preston?

I always love a good bad boy read and Logan was just what I thought it would be. However, there was a side to Logan that lurked behind his cocky attitude that he kept hidden with the use of drugs. It was something deep that was hinted at a few times, but until it was revealed it remained a whisper in the back of my mind.

I really loved Logan for most of the book, with his carefree attitude and his sexy appeal. He was sweet when he wanted to be and loved his family with all that he had. He fell into an easy relationship with Aubrey, seeing more to her than the quiet, quirky, party girl she appeared to be. She brought out a tenderness in him that most people didn't know about.

Aubrey didn't have any real friends in town, and although her relationship with Logan got off to a rocky start, they formed a connection. I really liked Aubrey; how kind she was and everyone that she met genuinely liked her. She had her own style and was brave enough to start a new business on her own. When she was with Logan, I could see they complimented one another, but there was darkness lurking, and it would bring chaos to their lives.

When the crap hit the fan between Logan and Aubrey, I didn't know whether I loved Logan or not. His story broke my heart, but it was the way that things were handled that made it so hard!! Both Logan and Aubrey struggled, but I still had hope that they could find one another again!

I loved the strong family connection that all the Preston's have. They have lost so much already, and will do anything for one another if needed. They welcomed Aubrey into the fold quickly, which made her life easier, but hard as well.

Jay McLean... I LOVED this read! I know it wouldn't have been easy to write, considering some of the sensitive material that it touched on, but it was put together beautifully. I love every moment of being it the Preston family world, and I cannot wait to come back again. Logan was flawed, but his story was woven perfectly! Thank you for this AMAZING read!

This quote is a little long, but it has everything I love about this book! A tender kiss, a bit of fun and laugh out loud moment. Enjoy!

A hand tugs on my sleeve, and I follow it up to Logan’s chest. “Hey,” he says.
I meet his eyes. “What’s up?”
“This.” And then he’s kissing me, both hands on my face, forcing me to rise to my toes and release my basket. He’s everywhere around me, inside of me. My eyes open the second I feel him pulling back, but his eyes stay closed a second longer. I kiss him one more time. Quickly. And his lips lift at the corners. “You need a ride home?” he asks.
I shake my head, breathless.
“Sure?”
“I rode here.”
His eyebrow quirks. “On a bike?”
“No. On my gigolo.”
He laughs. “We can put it in the back of my truck. The bike or your gigolo.”
“I’m good,” I tell him. “Honestly, I could do with the exercise.”
He smirks. “Your stamina seems fine to me.” He kisses me again, this time slower, softer, more powerful. He has my back against the freezer, his hands in my hair, my hands wherever they land as long as they land on him.
“Oi!” the store clerk shouts at us.
Logan pulls away, adjusts my clothes, keeps the smile on his beautiful face.
The old lady behind the counter yells, “Quit groping the poor girl, you damn Preston Punk.”
Logan rolls his eyes. “She was groping me!”
I look over at her and nod enthusiastically. “I was totally groping him!”

Five by J.A. Huss ~ Review & Swoon Thursday (@jahuss, @XpressoTours)

Since jumping on the Huss train a few years ago, I have always been eager to read more of her work, especially each spinoff in the Rook and Ronin series. Five was probably one of my most anticipated books and I am glad it arrived, but I didn't want it to be over so soon! 
Five (Mister, #0.5)
Title: Five

Fifty million books ago I promised you a love story about Five and his Princess.
This is their story.

Five Aston has known Rory Shrike for as long as he can remember. He played with her in the sandbox. He went to every damn horse show just to be supportive. He helped her with her French, walked her home from school, and faked his test scores just to stay with her a little longer and not be sent off to college early.
But eventually he had to move on.
And so did she.
Never has a second chance meant so much to a boy who loves a girl.

A standalone book that is also a spin-off of the Rook & Ronin Series and prequel to the Mister Series. You can read it first, you can read it last. It doesn't really matter because it's f*cking Five.

It has been a long time coming, but Five has finally arrived! I've had so many questions about him, since reading the Rook and Ronin spinoff's and the Mister series. He has always known what he wanted, but had always been that guy no one could figure out. I just wanted him and Rory to be what we readers have always wanted... One!

Rory ended up back home after a quick text from her brother telling her Five was home. She got there as quick as she could because it had been a long time since they had seen each other. It saddened me to feel Rory's loss, at being apart from someone she had loved with everything that she had. I was able to see glimpses of their time together and Rory's determination to not let go of Five again.

Five had so many secrets, and they were all catching up with him. I was able to learn about a lot of them, and I could see what Five wanted for himself. However, he was always reluctant to act on what he wanted because of the dangers that it may bring to those we have all grown to love. But there was no denying his love for Rory... their chemistry was scorching, and they knew almost everything about one another!

I knew Five would have twists, and some of which I looked past to begin with until certain things were revealed and the penny dropped for me. I knew that the company would be involved, and that the danger would always be there, but Five and Rory are strong determined people and I knew they would find a way to beat the odds! They were perfect together, and despite the time apart were quick to rekindle their feelings and their relationship.

J.A. Huss sure knows how to weave a tale with plenty of sexual tension and swoony moments to keep me hooked. The mysterious side of the story kept me on the edge of my seat as the danger continued to grow. A number of the characters from this generation made appearances in the story, leaving me wanting more. My only complaint, it was no where near long enough! I want more early days of Five and Rory, the awkward moments, the sweet times, and the protective father stepping in to lay the law! Overall though, it was terrific, and I know this is not the end... we'll be back in this world soon!

Wow... these two had such strong feelings for one another! So passionate and I could feel it in their words!

“I love you more than I can ever say. I want nothing more than to give you everything you want, including that kiss. But before I do, I need your word. I need to know you’re gonna let me handle this. I need assurances that you’re not gonna go home, grab one of those guns your mom keeps in her closet, and come back blazin’. So just give in, OK? Just give in to me, and tell me what I need to hear.”

“...I haven’t been happy for so long now, Five, I forgot what it feels like. Until yesterday when I saw you again. You, Five Aston, are the meaning of happy for me. And I have been kicking myself for six years, cursing the Big Man with the Wishes, for not telling him I want me to make you happy.”
“Oh, Ror. It’s you, babe. You’re the only thing in this entire world that makes me happy. The only thing.”

The sequel to Love Sprung From Hate, Dark Romeo #1.
The game becomes more deadly as the lies get bigger. Risks will be taken, loyalties will be tested, but will Roman and Julianna take the biggest risk of all…giving into their hearts?

Inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, this is a retelling for mature audiences. Don’t enter the Underworld if you’re scared of the dark.

After how Love Sprung from Hate ended, I have been excited to get my hands on the next book in the Dark Romeo series, to see if Roman and Julianna would be able to get themselves out of the situation they were in. It was exciting, intense and just as sizzling as the first book in the series.

I liked seeing more to Romans life, and that Julianna was able to get to know Roman better as well. She also found herself in a situation that threatened her life that she needed to be rescued from. But each of these moments brought them closer. I liked seeing their relationship grow, but there was always something that would tear them apart. I know these two belong together, but the dangers and circumstances tore them apart.

I felt that this book had that middle book syndrome; it was a little back and forth, where they wanted to act on their feelings, did so, and then would pull back. The connection was definitely there, enough to say that their feelings were solidifying, but the dangers always threw them into jeopardy. I am keen to see where things will go to from here, though, and cannot wait for the final book!

I have a few small teasers for you today, you can just see how much Roman loves Julianna.

“She is an angel. I…” he leaned in close, barely inches from Eddie’s face. “I’m no angel. I am the devil made flesh. And I would kill for her.”

“Life is over much too soon,” he said. “If you love him, Julianna, don’t hold it back.”

“I don’t want one more night,” he growled, leaning in so that his chest pressed against my swollen breasts. Dear God, he was everywhere. His scent and his heat rolling over me, his breath against my cheeks, his erection pressed against my belly, making my empty core ache. “I want all of them.”

I look her body up and down as I circle her.
Mine?
I smile a devious, deviant, I’m gonna make you sorry you ever started playing this game with me smile.
And then I take her hand.
I lead her to the elevator.
We go up to my apartment.
I tie her wrists together with rope.
Raise her arms above her head.
And chain her to the ceiling.
It’s my turn.
