Leather and Lace (Wicked #2) by Lily Graison

HOLY HOT TAMALE! 

I liked this one a lot better than the first. I feel like we really get to know the characters a bit better in this book than the first novel in the series.

Luke sounded absolutely SMOKIN' in this book and Roxy seemed like a beautiful goddess! Easily the hottest couple in the series.

Roxy came to New York with one thought on her mind... seducing the well known play boy, Luke. She was just hoping for a night with the man of her dreams, but her best friend, Holly, convinced her to play hard to get. Luke is used to just flashing a single smile and women instantly falling over themselves to get in his pants but that's not the case with Roxy. No, he's not used to a woman telling him "no". However, despite Roxy's fears of him moving on quickly he's just as willing to play this little game Roxy started.

Again, this book was roughly 100 pages. I haven't looked but that's pretty much what's expected from the whole series (a total of 4 books).

This book was on fireeeee! The sexual tension between these two was so thick you could cut a knife with it. I feel like the only thing that could have made this book better was it being longer. And not longer in the sense that it gets drawn on but just more detail in some parts and maybe add in a couple of scenes of them having a conversation that wasn't heavily laced with sexual tension. I understand they are very eager to get under each others clothes but it'd be nice to hear them have some heart to heart. It may make their love a little bit more genuine because currently it seems like all they truly have is amazing sexual chemistry.

Luke, here and there, would show that he was more than just a playboy rock star and in those moments Luke...

and I did really like him in other parts but those moments when you saw that he was tender thoughtful man, let me tell ya it was great. 

Again like I have said in my first review of this series (which you can find on my blog) if you are looking for a quick read that involves hot rock stars and romance, than this series is for you! But if you are looking for a romance book that will leave you still gushing over the characters weeks from now, I'm sorry my friend but this isn't the one for you. That doesn't mean this isn't an enjoyable quick read however! (:

Love,

Tempt Me Not (Wicked #1) by Lily Graison

Somehow a cabin in the woods was overbooked much to Holly and Devin's dismay. After her friend, Roxy, bailed on Holly last minute she was forced to spend their 2 week vacation alone. Or so she thought...

Devin, front man for Wicked, was forced to spend a month alone, free of all distraction. It was either that or his band falls apart. They didn't think they were going to be spending their supposedly stress free vacation with a complete stranger. With no way to contact anyone, and not in the mood to walk 10 miles to the nearest phone, they are forced to stick it out together. 

This book is roughly 100 pages. No matter what story line is being conveyed, not much could happen in 100 pages. Well, let me rephrase that... not much of a plot could happen. Everything is very rushed and they really only show the first 3 days of the trip and then skip 2 weeks in the future when she's leaving and then there is another skip a couple of months to where they are now. See? Not much to it. But that's what you're going to get with a 100 page book.

Other than that fact, the story line (or what little there was) was adorable. I liked both the characters very much. (there was only really two characters in this whole book, Holly and Devin. Roxy really  only appeared for a second in the beginning and a second in the end)

If you are looking for a short story to read while you are on the search for your next book this is definitely one to read. I'm actually going to read the rest of the series to see what happens with the other band members. Like I've said before, it's hard for me to resist rockstars.

They only spent 2 weeks together but yet they changed each others lives. This is where it's very unrealistic and if this was a longer book with more meat on its bone (WOW that was a horrible metaphor eeps sorry) then I would've been really annoyed. But because this is such a short book the author doesn't really give you time to be annoyed.

There were two instances where I was like whaaa with the story:

"He was grinning, his tongue caught between his teeth."

"He rolled his tongue behind his teeth..."

These were the only instances were I didn't like because it was just weird imaginary for me. I couldn't picture these two things especially since they were said to be sexy and seductive. Didn't do it for me.

If you are looking for a short and fast read with nothing but romance then this book is FOR YOU!

Love,

Liv
