BANKING HER by Max Monroe Book Review

GOODREADS // AMAZON

B L U R B:

A secret duo of romance authors team up under the pseudonym Max Monroe to bring you more from their sexy, laugh-out-loud new series. Can you ever get enough Billionaire Bad Boys? 

When one Rulebook closes… 

Thatch and Cassie have finally found their perfect balance of good and sweet, crazy and playful, and most importantly, hot and insatiable. 

But what happens when they’re faced with a surprise neither of them plotted or schemed? 

While Cassie seems to be taking everything in stride, Thatch can’t stop himself from worrying about every little thing revolving around the woman he loves. 

How does a man handle that kind of anxiety? 

Doing the only thing he can to ease his mind without pushing away the woman he loves, Thatch proves that once again, when it comes to him and Cass, you’ll never see what’s coming. 


Another Playbook begins... 

Wes Lancaster has always followed one guideline for play. He never gets involved with anyone working for his professional football team, the New York Mavericks. 

It hasn’t been a hard rule to live by. 

Until Winnie Winslow, the new take-no-sh*t team physician. 

She’s beautiful, intelligent—and has no problem taking control of every situation. 

She pisses him off. She turns him on. 

As tension builds and desire heightens, Wes finds himself wondering how much longer he’ll be able to follow his gameplan.

R E V I E W:
I LOVE MAX MONROE...I love every single one of these characters, I love feeling like I'm part of the coolest group of friends on the planet, in on the inside jokes, laughing with them, and falling... falling... falling SO very head over heels in love with each and every one of them. 


I've laughed with them, cried with them, conspired with them and gone on this amazing journey with them. Lucky Lucky ME! I've loved it every step of the way. Oh My Gosh! Everyone needs to read these books. 

OK OK OK onto my review of BANKING HER... while this book was a perfect, sweet novella, a complete story start to finish, and it maybe, possibly could be read as a Standalone... Don't Do it! Don't cheat yourself out of experiencing all of the awesomeness that is TAPPING THE BILLIONAIRE, TAPPING HER, and BANKING THE BILLIONAIRE! 

While Banking Her had all of the sassy sexiness and silliness of the other books in the series, it had this intense SWEETNESS factor that... UGH it just absolutely touched my heart. I didn't think it was possible to love Thatcher & Cassie anymore then I already did... WRONG I was so very very wrong. 

This book hit me straight to my heart. I can not WAIT for Wes' book coming up next!!! Yaaaaay! The Countdown is ON!

They’d won the battle and I held up the white flag of defeat… But the war wasn’t OVER. I suffered the aching loss of what they had stolen from me. OVER and OVER again, my heart broke. The white Queen and the black King had taken OVER the game and ruled for what seemed like eternity. Until one day, eternity was finally OVER. I was the dark knight who would rise again and conquer. I was the man who would win OVER the most important piece on the board. A slayer. A protector. A father. A new king with the blackest of hearts. And head OVER heels in love with… The little princess who owned my twisted soul. Sometimes the villains don’t just want their happy ending… They demand it. This isn’t OVER, baby. This will never be OVER. Warning: This Isn’t Over, Baby is a dark romance. Strong sexual themes and violence which could trigger emotional distress are found in this story. This story is NOT for everyone.

 

M Y  R E V I E W:

The idea of trying to find actual physical words to describe my feelings towards this book is laugh-out-loud funny! The fact that I have to attempt to do it without any swearing so that I can post this review to amazon later is even funnier! Where-oh-Where to even begin. 

Please PLEASE for the love of cucumbers tell me that you have read books 1 & 2 of this kick your but, chew you up and spit you out and keep you coming back begging for more series. If you haven't stop reading this review and go read This is War, Baby! No Really! Go! GO! GOOOO! You're Welcome. 

Phwew, now that we got that out of the way...
THIS IS GABE'S BOOK Y'ALL! So you know what to expect... insanity, mind-blowing chaos, and SEX SEX SEX. Right??? Well you forgot one little thing... this isn't just Gabe's book, it K. WEBSTER'S book, and if there is even ONE thing that she has taught us, its that you never EVER know what you're going to get when you open up a K. Webster Book. Silly Silly girls!

Do we get Kinky-Sexy-Gabe and all of K's glorious mindfuckery? Fuck yeah we do... She delivers ten fold. This book was everything I THOUGHT I wanted it to be, and then she piled on the SO MUCH MORE then I could ever imagine. Literally sitting there reading questioning my whole moral compass...

Read this book, read this series, come join me in the dark. 

...I swear I can almost hear her evil laughter:

Synopsis

Benny loves his pretty little dolls.

As long as they do exactly as they’re told.

He keeps them perfect by brushing their hair

and gives them pretty dresses to wear.

He likes to toy with them late at night.

One so timid but the other likes to fight.

When his favorite doll runs away…

despite the other doll promising to stay,

his heart becomes broken and he can’t help but cry.

He wants her back home or his pretty little doll must die.

Have you ever had to make a decision that haunts you every single day for the rest of your life…the life you stole back?

I have.

I ran for my survival, rocks and twigs cutting into the soles of my feet, my lungs burning and screaming for rest, every muscle tensed and fighting along with me for existence.

I left her.

I ran, ran, ran—from Benny and his lone, pretty little doll—until I couldn’t remember where to find them again.

I’m sorry.

About the Authors

International Bestselling Author Ker Dukey 

I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active… I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could have improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that I tell my own.

My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.

When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

You can find me on Facebook where I love interacting with my readers.

S Y N O P S I S:

Motorcycles and the ocean are my only loves. Until Hali. Every Sunday, I exchange my mancard for a punch on my pink frozen yogurt card. Just to see her. This is what stalkers do, you see. I’ll do whatever it takes to catch one tiny glimpse of her bright smile—a smile she shines upon me, even if only for a few brief moments—to light up my usually dark, lonely world. Hello, my name is Madden Finn. And I’m in love with a girl who doesn’t even know my name. ***Mad Sea was originally created as a story for an anthology. There were size constraints which explains the short length of this story. Because of this, the story is sweet, to the point, and all kinds of instalove. If you’re looking for a quick, lovable read that is quite outside your normal reading zone, then you’re going to love this.***

A NOTE FROM BEX:I can't stop looking at this beautiful cover! I can not wait to read this book you guys! I absolutely LOVE and I mean LOVE LOVE LOVE every single thing that K. WEBSTER writes. And I have not doubt this book will be any disappoint. She never disappoints, but besides that when you add a badass writer who can write about love and sex in her sleep and add the magic world of mermaids... how can you possibly go wrong?! :)

THE DEBT by Karina Halle Book Review Tour

 Her life changed in an instant. And he's the only one who could have
prevented it. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Pact and The Lie comes a new standalone contemporary romance about those McGregor men. Jessica Charles shouldn't have even been in London

when the unthinkable happened. She should have been back at home in Edinburgh, perhaps hanging with her boyfriend, having drinks with her sister or doing yoga with her group of friends. She should have been going on in her normal, dependable life as always. But on that fateful day in August, when a mentally-ill ex-soldier opened fire in public, Jessica's world changed forever. Now single and crippled from the gunshot wounds, Jessica finds herself scared and alone, losing faith in herself and humanity with each agonizing moment that passes. That is until a stranger enters her life. A stranger who makes her live again. Keir McGregor has always been the strong,

silent type. Throw in tall, dark, and handsome and you've got pretty much the perfect Scotsman. Except Keir is anything but perfect. He's got a past he's running away from and a guilty conscience he can't seem to shed. But the more time he spends with Jessica, the more he falls in love with her. And the more his secret threatens to tear them apart. He may have been a stranger to her. But she’s never been a stranger to him.

E X C E R P T:

      “You’re not going anywhere,” he says. “Sit. I’ll get you another drink.”   “It’s getting late,” I say feebly but I sit down anyway, my leg giving a protest of pain.   “You need something for that?” he says, noticing my wince.   “The scotch will do fine,” I tell him quickly, not wanting him to make a fuss. “But really, I should go.”   “Why?” he asks from the kitchen. I hear the top pop off the bottle, the slosh of liquid in the glass. “Where do you have to be?”   I have to think about that for a moment. He comes over and holds out the glass. “I won’t keep you here if you don’t want to be here. But if you do want to be here, you don’t need to make any excuses.”   I take the glass from him, holding it delicately in my fingers. He stands over me, a massive wall, waiting for some kind of response.   “I just…” I begin. “I…” I take a sip for bravery. Swallow. “I’m not very good at this.”   “Good at what?”   “At…this. Being with a man.”   When he doesn’t say anything to that, I look up at him. He’s got a peculiar smile on his face, his brows raised. “You call this being with a man?”   I clear my throat, feeling my cheeks grow hot. “I mean. I’ve told you before –”   “Yes, how you don’t do relationships, how you don’t do sex.”   “I never said I don’t do sex,” I remind him quickly.   His eyes never stop searching my face. “Then what is it? What are you afraid to say?”   I have the sudden urge to flee and I know it must show because he suddenly points at me and says, “Don’t you dare say you have to go again. I want you to go back to what you said, that you’re not good at this. What is this? Us? You and me? There’s nothing mystifying about you and me, Jessica. You know quite well how I feel.”   I stare at him in shock. I do? “How?”   He looks off with an air of impatience. “I invited you to dinner, you turned me down.”   “But then you said just as friends.”   “And I meant it. But there are different types of friends. It’s up to you to decide what kind we are.”   I put my drink down with a clunk. “Holy pressure.” And now it’s not just my face going hot but my entire body, flushed from head to toe.   “You’re on fire, little red,” he says, his gaze skirting over my limbs in such a hungry way I can almost feel them on my skin. “I have to say, I like this look on you. Hot and bothered.”   “Back with the innuendos again,” I comment but my voice is weak.   “No, no innuendos this time. You came looking for me tonight not because you wanted to confess but because you want something from me. What is it? What do you want from me? What do you think I can give you?”   Jesus. This is so utterly unnerving. His words slice right through me, his eyes still peeling under the layers, trying to get at something I’m not even sure of myself.   If I lie, he’ll know. I can only be honest with him.   “I want…” I take in a deep breath, my eyes breaking away. “I want…company.”   “Company?” He sounds surprised.   I nod. “That’s the truth. I’m lonely. And I’m afraid. And I’m tired of being both those things. I want to be with someone who makes me forget who I am. You make me feel fearless in a way I didn’t think possible.”   There. That’s the truth. Most of it. It hangs in the air, thickening the tension like flour to stock.   He sits down next to me, has a mouthful of Scotch. “Wow,” he says, running his hand over the beard on his jaw. “And here I was thinking you wanted my cock.”   I burst out laughing. So does he, a big wonderful bellow. The tension in the room eases up a notch.   “Sorry,” I tell him when I catch my breath. “I guess they can both mean the same thing.”   He sucks in his lip briefly, his eyes taking a lustful turn. “If you want it to.” We stare at each other for a few heavy beats. Then his focus trails back to my gaze and he says, “Why don’t you stay over?”   And there I have it. The chance to know what those full lips would feel like on mine, what his skin would taste like. I swallow hard.  

M Y  R E V I E W:
Each of these McGregor men that Karina Halle has given life to owns a piece of my heart. Each of their books can be read as a standalone, as each are complete, beautiful stories on their own.          All so brilliantly written, some hold more comedy and laugh out loud moments (The Pact) while others (like this one, The Debt) just completely gut you. 

The Debt was an emotional rollercoaster... the kind of rollercoaster that starts off with the dramatic plunge into the unknown. Your only option is to buckle up, hold on, and enjoy the ride. I fell hard and fast for both Keir and Jessica. Two broken souls, not looking to be fixed, but looking for peace, a peace they can only find in each other. 

I think that with so many amazing books coming out weekly big titles from our favorite authors, it is so easy to get caught up in just plowing through mass quantities of books, one after another. The Debt, the way it read to me, wasn't written to to be read in one sitting, or carelessly devoured in a lineup of other books. This book, to me, felt like it was meant to be savored cherished, pondered and enjoyed. I at one point found myself frustrated because the story wasn't progressing fast enough for me, then I asked myself why I was in a rush, I read to get lost, and this book swept me away. Not just in the story, but into the characters, their world, their experience, and into these beautiful words. I let myself get lost with them, to fall with Keir and Jessica, it was a journey I won't soon forget. 

"Sometimes we have a war in our hearts. We're torn in two directions. The way we fell and the way we should fell. They rarely align. The battle goes on. I know what its like to stand in the middle of that battlefield and not know which side to fight on."

And not only are her choices terrible, she also hasn’t been boyfriend free since she was a teenager. So she places herself on a sabbatical of sorts. No dating for twelve months.

Cameron Miller has had a crappy year. His girlfriend fell for his best friend and to ease the pain, he drowns his troubles in more booze and women than he can count. When his buddies finally slap some sense into him and urge him to focus on his new position as a special education teacher in an urban school district, he decides to get his act together. 

Away from the prying eyes of their mutual friends, Cameron and Aurora agree to hang out once a week in their newly dubbed chastity club. Number of members? Two. It’s a chance to find solace, companionship, and something neither anticipated – a burgeoning attraction. But when Cameron invites Aurora to be his fake date at the reunion his ex-girlfriend and best friend will be attending, their passion ignites. What happens in chastity club stays in chastity club, right? Until they discover that a year of self-truths might actually lead them to true love.
