Review: Social

Social Social by J.A. Huss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm mad at all of my Huss bitches who didn't force me to read this book sooner. I've been a Huss addict for about a year now, but I am only just now finding Vaughn Asher and Grace Kinsella. And that pisses me off. A lot.

Vaughn Asher is fucking hot. He's cocky and arrogant and beautiful. He's dirty and hot and fuckhot amazing.

If you're looking for a couple who fights as much as they fuck, then you should probably pick up Social.
If you're looking for a couple who plays games and avoid serious conversation, then you should probably pick up Social.
If you're looking for dirty, hot sex, then you should probably pick up Social.

Do you see the theme here? You should pick up Social.

Julie is a a mastermind of hot sex and debauchery. Games and banter and money. There's always money. And that money makes Julie's men fan-fucking-tastic. It makes them more complicated, more dark, more twisted, more...everything. Maybe it isn't the money. Maybe she just writes the craziest of crazies and makes them completely irresistible. Not sure how she does it, but I fall for every single leading man she puts into a book. Yes, I have favorites, but they don't all make the top spots. However, Vaughn is definitely in the top 5 Huss men.

Read Social. Follow it with Media. You won't be sorry.

Review: What Makes a Man?: Book 1

What Makes a Man?: Book 1 What Makes a Man?: Book 1 by H.Q. Frost
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received an arc of this in exchange for an honest review

As my first H.Q. Frost book, I wasn't sure what I was getting. Conveniently enough, I never knew what I was getting. The whole book kept me guessing and had me afraid for Dom and Nyla. Apparently I was afraid for very good reasons as Frost gave me the ultimate mindfuck at the end. Thanks, Frost, thanks. That cussing I refused to do earlier, well here it is. Fuck this. Seriously. I knew something was going to happen. I knew Boney was bad news, but then again most of Dom's friends were bad news. But fuuuuuuck. That ending. Ugh. Why?!

Okay, let's back up. Nyla meets Dom under unusual circumstances. Instead of runnig--which is what most normal people would do--she finds herself intrigued by the guy she saw leaving her neighbor's house. So intrigued, that when he stopped by later, she invited him inside. Their story begins on that front porch and continues from there.

There are plenty of questions and scenarios that I never thought to ask or expect. There was a lot of death, yet none of it was surprising. Frost tackles serious issues in this book, including: rape, incest, physcial/mental/emotional abuse, murder, drugs....I think that is all. I know, quite the plethora of topics, but it works, trust me.

These situations all feel real. We all hear the stories or live these lives. The lives where violence breeds violence and poverty breeds poverty. It's almost impossible to get out of your situation. Dom wants more out of his life. He works two jobs, he tries to do better than his friends, and he does what he can to make the new girl in his life, Nyla, his priority. He knows she's important to his story and he doesn't want to lose her.
"You can be a good book though, Dom. Your pages aren't written. You have your whole life."


I kept waiting for that shoe to drop. Things would be good, but Nyla seemed a bit immature for her age. I could never decide if she was just more immature than others or if it was because she had a more privileged upbringing than the others in this story. Either way, the relationship between Nyla and Dom works. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Which is why the surprise ending in this book left me yelling, "What the actual fuck!?!" No joke. I was pissed. And shocked. Good job, Frost, you got me.
"I won't hurt you."

I call bullshit, Frost. Bull. Shit. You did hurt me.

If you make it to the end and you haven't googled Frost's home address so you can send her hate mail, then you will be ready to hop in your car when you see the preview for book 2.
"Falling in love is easy. Letting go is the hardest thing to do."
