When he sees the elusive girl in the mansion next door playing her violin nude, they begin an erotic game of spying.

When they finally come face-to-face, sparks fly and clothes comes off. But giving his heart to a girl isn’t Sebastian’s plan; falling for a guy who craves attention isn’t Violet’s.

My Review
4 Stars

This series took me by surprise.  A good surprise, so no worries.  Blake and Erica have been through it all.  Still there are more challenges that they must go through.  Right after returning home from their honeymoon, they are facing their worst fears...a life apart.  

In this book, Erica fights back. She steps up when Blake won't.  For her living a life without him is not possible.  Going to all lengths and seeking help to prove his innocence is what she must do.  I was pleased with how she handled the situation.  

I have to admit, I was worried there for a little while.  At one point I thought that Meredith was going to do the unthinkable. 

The book was a good conclusion to the series.  They had a love that was so deep and brought out the best in one another.  I wouldn't change anything.

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Reapers Motorcycle Club and Silver Valley series comes an anthology of extras and never-before-released material, including a new short story featuring fan favorites Horse and Marie.

Charming Bastard: A Novella
I first met Riley Boone when I was four years old. We moved to Callup, Idaho after my dad blew out his back and had to go on disability. Boonie’s family lived next to ours. Every afternoon he’d swagger off the school bus after kindergarten like a conquering king. For the first week he ignored me, until I impressed him by climbing nearly thirty feet up in the tree behind his trailer. They had to call the fire department to get me down, but it was worth it to see the respect in his five-year-old eyes. He gave me a worm in honor of my accomplishment. I fell in love. The next day he made me eat the worm and our relationship has been complicated ever since.

(Until now, this novella has been exclusively available in the paperback edition of Silver Bastard.)

Stanton Completely by T L Swan



The final piece of the Stanton Puzzle

Joshua and Natasha are finally as one, so in love like never before.

But how dark are the secrets and how deep are the lies?

And when all is said and done, are their lives and love completely safe?


My Review

4.5 Sexy Pound Town Stars 

This is the Third book in the Stanton series and what a way to end it. This book, like the rest is scorching HOT. Natasha is sassier than ever trying to adjust to her new life in LA with the love of her life Joshua. He did not disappoint and came back hotter than ever. Then he said things like this:

"Natasha, I am a very rich man but I didn't know the true value of wealth until you came back into my life. Everything was meaningless."

"Have we ever had anything but intimate and beautiful between us, presh?" His eyes hold mine. "Together we are intimate perfection"
(Swoon)

In this book we see them grow as a couple after going through so many difficult situations. I kept expecting one or the other to flip out and WWIII to begin, but that was not the case. I seriously loved the dual pov, being in Joshua's head is always a treat (so hot). The attraction between them is out of this world. Mind blowing really. 

"Joshua Stanton having sex in his animalistic way is without a doubt the best viewing I have ever witnessed."

 It was angsty and twisty and I enjoyed trying to connect all the dots. The author had me from Freaking out to swooning to whoa that so so hot. I was at the edge of my seat for the last half of the book. Its a big book and I could not put it down. I HAD to know what was happening. 

Im so excited to know there will be more from the secondary characters. And I seriously cannot wait. And yes I realized I just finished reading this book and want more. Can't get enough. 
If you haven't picked up this series yet, I seriously encourage you to go click NOW and hold on for a crazy hot ride.
