Baby Fever by Jenika Snow

My edition: Kindle Unlimited
Series: Real Man #3
Rating: 1 star. DNF @59%
Synopsis:

He’s done being the bad boy… he’s ready to be a father.

DEX

I’m the bad boy; the one mothers warn their daughters about. But I’d never seen myself settling down, and at the time that had been fine with me. The life, reality, whatever you wanted to call it, bitch slapped me right across the face, and I knew what I wanted.

A baby.

At thirty-nine I was having a severe case of baby fever, and that meant convincing the one woman I’ve always wanted but knew was too good for me, to be mine and be the mother of my child.

EVA

I’ve always wanted Dex. It’s hard not to want a man like Dex. He’s all raw power and cut muscle. He’s the epitome of what a real man is, but he’s not a bastard about it.

But then he throws me a curve ball and says he wants me not only as his woman… but the mother of his child.

And I’ll be honest; it’s what I’ve a;was wanted.

DEX

The truth is Eva deserves better than me, but I’m too selfish and I want her too badly to back away.

Nothing will stop me from making her mine… and putting my baby inside her.

Review: To be truthfully honest this is the first time I have ever read or heard of a man getting baby fever. I’m not saying that it never happens just that this is the first time I read about it.

So I may have sad something a little too soon about this series. I have a few problems with this book.

Problem #1. I was extremely skived out. For those of you that don’t know what skived is, let me educate you. Skived is another way of saying creeped or your spidey sense are tingling in a not so great way.

Our hero Dex wants a baby. But he also wants Eva, his friend’s sister. The amount of breeding talk that goes through Dex’s mind in the first chapter alone skived me out. I wanted to run to the hills and hide away forever.

Problem #2. What exactly made Dex be a bad boy. Yeah maybe in his younger years but up till recently no. He really didn’t seem like a bad boy to me to begin with. His bad boy ways just seemed to be in his teens and early twenties.

Problem #3. I hated the repeat. This happened in the first book. The first part of the repeat is Dex saying he wants Eva like a fiend. The second part of the repeat is Eva being complete dumb kept asking what the hero wants and what is this that he speaks of. Hello he probably said it a thousand times.

Problem #4. Stop talking and just have sex already. I got bored on how much this dude talked about what he was going to do. I get it you want your cum in her but how about you shut up and just do it already.

It sucks to have my first DNF of the year but I couldn’t take anymore of this. It was so horrible. I will read the next book in the series but it that one turns out like this one or the first one I am out.

 

Virgin by Jenika Snow

Series: Real Man #2
Rating: 3 stars
Synopsis:

She will be the only one he’ll ever want.
He was the first boy she fell in love with

Quinn
I met Isabel when I was ten.
I fell in love with her before I even knew what that meant. I knew from the moment I saw her she was it for me. No one else compared to her, and I’d do anything to make her mine. But I was afraid of losing the friendship we have, so I’ve kept my mouth shut.
But she’s leaving me, and I know I can’t keep how I feel inside any longer.
Saving myself for the girl I loved isn’t a hardship, but something I’m proud of. When it comes to Isabel giving her my virginity, and making her see we belong together, is all that matters.

Isabel
Quinn is like the other half of my soul, the one person I can talk to about anything. He has the bad boy thing going on but is also respectful as much as he is a rebel.
He is the first and only boy I will ever love.
Being forced to move across the country, and leave him behind is like leaving a piece of myself in the process. But telling Quinn, I am madly in love with him could put a strain on our friendship. I didn’t know if that’s something I can handle or risk.

Quinn
Nothing can keep me from Isabel. She is it for me, and I mean that in every conceivable way. Nothing can keep me from her. I hope she’s ready because there isn’t anything or anyone that will stop me from having her as mine.

Review: This one was better than the first one. Good thing I decided to give this author another chance. This was a cute story. No drama, insta-love and all that jazz. I normal hate instalove in novels but since this is a novella and smut, I can handle it.

Our hero Quinn is a virgin. He has been saving himself for his best friend Isabel who he has been in love with since he saved her from a bully at 10 years old. Even though he is soft and sweet to Isabel, he is anything but that to everyone else.

Isabel is having to move because her dad got a promotion. She is devastated not because she has to finish her senior year somewhere else but because she has to move away from Quinn. She decides to finally tell him that she has been in love with him for a long time.

This was a cute story. One many of us have dreamed up about our closest guy friend we have had a crush on. I liked this one sooo much better than the first book in the series. I will continue on with it. I really don’t know if I will like the next one. I’m not trying to judge a book by it’s title but it is named Baby Fever. Here goes nothing.

Series: Blood & Roses #6 Final book
Rating:4 stars
Synopsis:

The final installment of Zeth & Sloane’s story is here!

With Lacey missing and everything falling apart, Sloane and Zeth will do everything they can get her back. If that includes facing off against Charlie Holsan, the DEA, and anyone else who gets in their way, then so be it.

Faced with heartbreak, danger, and the increasing need to protect the ones he loves, Zeth Mayfair is finally realizing what it means to have a family. With her fears coming full circle, Sloane must learn that forgiveness is the only way to move forward.

Review: My feelings were all over the place with this one. A little more than halfway through I wanted to bawl my eyes out. I am so happy yet sad that I am finishing this series.

I did find out that Miss Callie Hart (or is it Mrs?) has written Rebel and Sophia’s story. I already have the first book downloaded and will be starting their story soon.

If you can excuse me while I cry in the corner.

Rating: 3.5 stars
Synopsis:

Sloane

How many times can a person fall down and still get back up? How many times can things go wrong before you just give up?

I’ve lost everything. My home, my job, my purpose in life- everything has been turned upside down. But while life hasn’t exactly turned out the way I would have liked it to, I wouldn’t change a thing. If things were different, I wouldn’t have Lacey. I wouldn’t have Michael.

But most importantly, I wouldn’t have him.

I’ve realized what I feel. He knew it before I did. Only one question remains:

Is he capable of feeling the same way?

Zeth

Secrets are a prison and I have been behind bars for years. Sloane Romera has been turning keys in all of my locks, throwing light on corners of my mind that I thought would be.

I have done so many wrongs in this life, and yet this woman has forgiven me. She’s done something I never thought possible- she learned to understand me, and she hasn’t run. She’s amazed me. She’s saved me. She’s fallen in love with me.

If it’s within my power, I’m about to do the same for her.

Review: Zeth and Sloane’s plot thickens. I am still wanting to know why Alexis did what she did. I went through this is faster than ever. I need answers. I am sort of sad to start the next book because it is the last book of Zeth and Sloane’s story.

I want to say more of what I though on this book but I would spoil the whole thing. On to the next one.
