Review: Depths of Salvation (Love on the Edge #3) by Molly E. Lee

*****5 Stars*****

This is the second book I've read by Molly and I absolutely devoured it! It completely caught my attention from that gorgeous cover to the first word all the way to the last. I love her "Love on the Edge" series and how each book just keeps getting better and better. These books are unique and different from anything else I've read and they keep you interested and turning the pages till the very end when you are left wanting more. She immerses you into the character's world until you feel like you are right there with Connell and Sadie diving under the water, looking at this magnificent shipwreck that they are trying to preserve, and facing all the dangers they come across on their journey. Molly uses excellent imagery that paints a very vivid picture of the characters and their surroundings and it feels like you are actually right there with them. Molly has a way of bringing the pages to life and making you want to rethink your career options to become a storm chaser, a treasure seeker, or a preservationist/diver, just something more adventurous and with a bit of an adrenaline rush.

Sadie is a marine preservationist and her most recent site is a sunken old WWII cargo ship off the coast of the Bahamas. When a giant gas corporation threatens to blow it all up she is forced to prove her sites value to the Head of Government. Connell is the best underwater welder around and thrives with the dangers and close calls of his job. When Slade Industries offers him a dangerous job for a lot of cash, it's an offer he can't refuse. When Sadie's site threatens to cost him millions, he offers Connell the deal of a lifetime: 12 million dollars to get close to Sadie and prove to the Head of Government that her site isn't worth saving. Should be easy, right? What they never expected was to have an instant connection with one another. They are more alike than they realize with their love of the ocean and diving and that only brings them closer together. The more they get to know one another the harder they fall but what happens when his deal with Slade comes to light? Will he lose the woman that has finally healed his heart and who understands him?

I absolutely loved this book and did not want it to end! Molly completely brings the pages to life and fills you with hope and love and so much emotion. This was definitely one of those page turner books that keeps you completely captivated. I loved Connell and Sadie and the way they were different with one another and I just wanted them to get their happy ending. I can't wait to see what Molly has in store for us next!

Sadie Jenkins’ most recent site of preservation is a sunken WWII cargo ship off the coast of the Bahamas. When a giant corporation threatens to blow it up to make way for an underwater gas pipeline, Sadie is forced to prove to the Head of Government the importance and value of her site. And when assistance comes from a bad-boy welder who works for the corporation, she ends up battling not only the people trying to demolish her site, but her heart as well—because its latched on to the one man who can save her ship or destroy it. 

Connell Murphey is the best underwater welder this side of the Atlantic and thrives when the stakes are highest. When Slade Industries offers him a dangerous gig with a big pay off, he can’t wait to sign on. When a local marine preservationist gives Slade trouble—her site’s protection would cost him millions to go around it instead of through it—Slade offers Connell the deal of a lifetime: twelve million has his name on it if he gets close to Sadie and testifies to the Head of Government that her site isn’t worth saving. Should be easy money.

That is, until he meets Sadie. She’s a force to be reckoned with and the only woman who has ever been able to not only keep pace with him on a dive but completely surpass him on every level. She’s smart, sexy, and their chemistry is off the charts. The more he gets to know her, the harder he falls but he’s already in too deep with the deal he made with Slade.

When the time comes, will he be able to turn down the money and choose the girl of his dreams, or will too many lies kill his only chance at forever?

Review: Pretty Stolen Dolls by Ker Dukey & K. Webster

*****5 Stars*****

After reading this I'm left wondering if I'm right in the head but one thing I do know is that these authors are seriously in need of some rainbows and unicorns to fluff them up lol. I can't even rehash the story because there's quite a few twisted elements to it leaving me wondering if any details would indeed spoil it. One thing I will say is I wanted to stick knitting needles in one characters eyes and flush heads down the toilet. My reactions were all over the place reading this, one minute I was widening my eyes as if I was watching a scary part of a horror movie, then the next minute I was drowning in pity and sadness for Jade and then all my anger would bubble to the surface. The ending killed me and in turn I wanted to seek the authors out and choke them whilst screaming at them give me the next book before I create my own with you as the lead characters and it won't be pretty haha. On a serious note though, do not read this if your squeamish or don't like dark reads. This isn't a pretty story and will offend if your easily offended. It's sick, twisted and horrific in places but it's really really amazingly good.

Review: Loving Amber (Riverstone Estate #1) by Roya Carmen

*****4.5 Stars*****

After her Amazing Ground Rules Trilogy, I was anxious to read the start of this newest trilogy by Roya Carmen. Loving Amber takes us on an emotional journey that switches back and forth between the past and the present. This story perfectly illustrates how messy and complicated love can be, something Carmen has a talent for writing about.

Amber is a single mother trying to come to terms with the death of her twin brother and husband in a tragic accident. Needing someone to blame, she blames Aiden, a man she grew up with and has a complicated history with. My heart definitely broke for Amber, though I will admit to also being frustrated by her. I felt so bad for Aiden and how she treated him. While on a rational level I could understand why she acted the way she did (and I believe her own personal guilt had much to do with it), my heart just went out to Aiden. He really stole my heart in this story and I was anxious for Amber to realize the vast majority of her anger and surface hatred was misdirected.

Carmen has shown herself to be a master at playing with a reader's emotions. She writes characters that get under your skin and stay there, forcing you to fret and agonize right along with them. Amber and Aiden definitely fall into this category. I cried for them, laughed with them, and ultimately rooted for them. Their story was heartbreaking, complex, and so compelling to read I found it hard to put this story down. This new series features standalone books all about the Riverstone family so this is a complete story without a cliffhanger, which made me very happy. I'm so looking forward to the new book and reading the love stories of Amber's siblings.

Torn by tragedy. Reunited by love.

Two years ago, I lost my husband and my brother to the same tragedy. To this day, I hold only one person responsible—Aiden Rogers, the beautiful boy I’ve known forever, the misfit I’ve both loved and hated, the one who always got to me. As far as I’m concerned, he’s the only one to blame.

Now he wants to be part of my life again—when I can finally see a future for my son and myself. I’ve found the perfect man in David, someone I can start over with, a man who will be the perfect father figure for Trevor. I have a plan. At last, I see the light, and I know I can make this work. 

I will not let Aiden Rogers drag me back into the darkness.

Author's note: contains sexual scenes and some coarse language. 

This is the first book of the Riverstone Estate Series and can be enjoyed as a standalone read.
