Resisting Temptation By K.C.Lynn



Faith ~ 
Cade Walker is like no man I’ve ever met before. He’s cynical, brooding, mysterious and, most of all, damaged. He’s a man who declares he’s broken, and one who detests the two very things I live for most: God and love. Yet, I’ve still fallen completely in love with him because I also see the good, something that no one else ever has. I see a man who is strong, silent, honorable and beautiful. He’s a man who is now scarred just as badly on the outside of his body as he is on the inside, all because of me. One who endured severe torture in order to save me from what would be the worst thing I will ever experience in my entire life. He is a man I call my dark angel, one who will have my heart until the end of time, even if I can never have his.

Cade ~ At fifteen years old I lost the only person that ever mattered to me, and the day I lost my little sister in the most vile way was the exact moment I stopped living and only existed. That’s until ten years later, when I walked into an open field in Iraq to hear the most incredible voice I would ever hear in my life. One that rooted me to my spot, and ended up belonging to the most beautiful woman in the world. The only woman to ever make me feel something again, something that I thought was dead inside of me. And no matter how badly I wanted to keep her, I knew I couldn’t. Not with what I have lurking inside of me. It’s something I’ve always kept hidden. That is, until the day I unleashed it on the people who dared to hurt her. It was the one thing that gave me the strength to save us, but it was also the one thing that would remind me of why I could never have her.

Now two years later, the one girl I never thought I would ever see again, the one I have spent my days and nights craving like an addict, walks back into my life unexpectedly, giving us both the shock of our lives. And when the time comes that she needs me again, I no longer resist. Before I know it, I’m pulled into a life I thought I could never have, one that scares the shit out of me but it’s one I’m realizing I want. There is just one problem. One very big problem… She lives for the very thing I loathe, and the one thing that killed my sister… God.


Oh My God. I don't even know what to say to express how much I LOVED this book. It has to the best out of the three in the Men Of Honor series. Loved this novel so blooming much. 

For those who have read the previous two novels will know how much a brooding mystery Cade Walker is. Also, how incredibly hot too. We get to see more from their pasts when they were captured a few years ago and why. We see him as the man he was to the man he becomes when he's around Faith. 
I was so glad K.C.Lynn added in the captured scenes because like many of you, we were all dying to know about the famous girl Cade nearly died for. 
I loved Faith, she is someone I would be friends with. I'm not a big believer in god, for the same kind of reason Cade doesn't believe, but I do strongly believe our souls live on when we die and we're reborn and that we all have someone out their we connect too. It's the same connection Faith and Cade have. 
Faith meets a troubled teen doing community service in this one and oh my god, he brings his little sister into the mix and jesus christ, I love that child like she was my own. K.C.Lynn did an amazing job with writing her scenes, the trouble she must have gone to spelling and sounding out the words so that readers could still understand it, but it also could still be portrayed as a little girl with a speech impermanent. I loved her, loved everything about Routhie and her relationship with 'the big guy' was adorably cute, like seriously freeking adorable. I couldn't get enough and found myself excited for their next encounter. 
The story is so heartfelt, so heartbreaking and found it moving in so many ways. The way she took two kids in, the way she recovered from her attacks in Arac and the way Cade moved forward with his life as each pressing moment in the book. 
There are a few moving scenes within this book. I don't know if it's the seriousness of the topic or the fact K.C.Lynn is by far one of the best writers around that had me falling in love with this book like it was a real life story. 

So many scenes, but I promise it will grip you, have you on the edge of your seat, crying, heartbreaking, laughing, awww'ing and just completely falling in love with everyone in the book. 

I am reading the first two over again before reading this one because I got confused on who Kaityn was. So, I'll be refreshing my mind all over again ;) 
Cannot wait to get to read more of her work in the future. 

5* and I wish I had a chance to give it more because it truly does deserve it. Also, this novel just bumped Archers Voice off my top ten 2014 best read romance novels LOL Yep, it was that good

Worth the fall: The McKinney Brothers By Claudia Connor



 
They meet on a beach. . . . Abby Davis isn’t wearing a skimpy bikini or sipping umbrella drinks, not when she’s busy chasing around four little ones. And Matt McKinney isn’t looking for fun—he’s a Navy SEAL, a grown man with a long list of missions . . . and fallen brothers.
 
They only have a week. . . . Abby has brought her children to this beach to start over, to give them the enjoyable memories they deserve. Matt’s been sidelined by a combat injury, and haunted by the best friend he lost and the promise he made: to remain a SEAL—focused and dedicated. This leaves no time for what he’s always wanted: a family.
 
But a week is all it takes. . . . Matt opens her heart while Abby soothes his soul. And though they plan to say good-bye when the week is over, something magical happens on that beach, something neither can forget. Something utterly, completely worth falling for.

For a debut novel, Claudia has done extremely well. I downloaded sample and I didn't even get passed the first chapter before I purchased it. I loved it. 
The kids were gorgeous and I love every single one of them.
The story isn't anything exciting, but it's the connection and past experiences that is what pulls you into the story. I couldn't seem to put it down. There was nothing but the characters that held me to that book. 
I can't explain it well enough, you have to read it to experience what I'm trying to tell you. 
Simple, loving, funny, adorable, sexy, hot, cute, tearful are all words I would describe and more about this book. 

The last quarter of the book, I found myself crying. Whether it was due to happy tears or sad tears, I was a blubbering mess LOL 
It was worse if it was one of the kids upset expressing their feelings. I just wanted to reach into the book and hold them tightly. 
The two main characters Abby and Matt are my all time favorite couple. It wasn't just about attraction or lust between them, it was straight and narrow love and connection. You felt it during the whole book or found yourself sighing whenever he picked a child or when he first feels her baby kick in her tummy, it overwhelms you. This book didn't need excitement, or drama, it just needed these two characters and four children. 
Saying that, there is drama, just not anything drastic, but something so believable that it could happen to you. 

5* for you Claudia and looking forward to reading future work :)

Crazy good By Rachel Robinson



Before there were bikers, or fighters, or even good old-fashioned jerks, there were Navy SEALs. They put the bad in badass because, well…it’s their job. 

Navy SEAL Maverick Hart has everything. Women want him. Grown men idolize him. Little boys want to grow up and be like him. The job, the glory—it’s all his. Not because it’s handed to him…because he works hard for it. The second his sights lock on something, he owns it—or destroys it. Unfortunately he does both at the same time. 

Windsor Forbes only takes calculated risks in her profession and in her personal life. After being left at the altar by the only person she’s ever loved, the very last thing she’s looking for is a relationship—especially the insane brand an arrogant Navy SEAL is offering. Hesitant, yet trusting to a fault, she gives in. 

She knew she shouldn’t take the chance, especially a second time, but love is irrational and their love is perfect, infallible. Or so she thought… 

The downfall to having everything is you have that much more to lose. A man like Maverick can’t have it all without something slipping out of grasp. 

Crazy people perish for love. 

Good people live for it. 

Love doesn’t die. No matter how many bullets you put in it. 
read on for review. 

This is the most emotional story i have read in a while. My heart is still hammering in my chest as i type. Never and i mean never have i cried like i cried in this book. Seriously the most emotional book ever!!!

It's done in two parts, kind of. you'll understand. I was wary at first as i wasnt in the mood for angst but this novel is so much MORE than that. Its everything you could want in a romance novel.

The author seriously had me sobbing uncontrollably from the words in her story. 

ONE WORD!! ~ TISSUES 

loved this novel and would recommend it to anyone. It isnt just emotional like i've made it come across but you fall in love with BOTH characters. Its raw, real and so much more then a story, its a life of a seal. 

Enjoy :) 5*
