Wicked Reads Reviews – More Than a Deal by T.J. Tims


How would you feel if everyone that you love has kept secrets from you?

Well, Quincy Westley is sick of the shit. All she wants is to resolve the past and move on with the future. A future that she may not be prepared for.

After a weekend of spending time getting to know the half-sister she didn’t know existed, she’s attracted the attention of Kaine Alexander. With his help, Quincy can learn to successfully navigate her Westley family’s social circle.

Kaine is a man in charge. He’s the head of his family’s empire. It’s his way or… no, it’s just his way. When his mother meddles in the family business and has him presented with an ultimatum, he’ll do anything to make sure he doesn’t lose it all; thumbing his nose at the challenge.

A deal has been struck.

When you add crazy friends, meddling family, and raw attraction, the lines of any deal can and will become blurred.

Angie☆☆☆
So I read the first book, More Than I Asked For, and I loved it and was so excited about this book. In my review for that book I even wrote ‘The epilogue was awesome and I can’t wait to see who got married and who was in the coat closet.’ Well, none of that was answered in this book so I was disappointed in that. The first part of the book was slow and boring to me, I felt like it was never going to get to the good part. The last part of the book was much better. I love Kaine, I wish there was more of him and Quincy in this book and less of the other characters. I feel in some parts their story got lost in the shuffle. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the other characters in the book and can’t wait to hear their stories, I just wanted more Kaine and Quincy.

Characters: The characters were well written and believable.
Sex: Oh yeah

I Belong to You by Lisa Renee Jones Blog Tour


Master…

Being that person, that man is how I define myself, how I allow the rest of the world to define me as well. And now, with a terrible loss shredding me inside out and someone trying to destroy my family to punish me, control is more important than ever. It is everything. It is what I need. It is all I need. Or maybe I just need…her.

Veronica☆☆☆☆☆
For me, I Belong to You is the star of the whole series. We get to watch the trust develop between Mark and Crystal with honest communication.

Crystal is a strong heroine. She knows what she will and won't accept. So many book heroines fold or change to please the broken hero so experiencing Crystal standing up for her needs and being true to herself was thrilling. She was exactly what I wanted to read – a strong successful woman.

Mark is not what he appears to be on the surface. He is strong and vulnerable. Watching his story unfold, learning about his past and seeing with him struggle for happiness and forgiveness made for a wonderful story.

Ms. Jones has written a very engaging series that has only improved with time. I can't recommend the Inside Out series highly enough.


Shelby☆☆☆
I will be among the minority and admit that I didn't like this book.

Personally, I loved the novellas leading up to Mark & Crystal's story. Unfortunately I felt that the majority of this story was just regurgitating the novellas. Mark is dominant, as is Crystal – will they find the "middle" ground? Together, they are able to realize that the past doesn't define who they are!

Mark has come back to NYC to help support his cancer stricken mother, and help out with Riptide. I did enjoy the dynamic between him and his parents, watching Crystal fit in with them was heart-lifting (which was necessary in wake of the tragic events surrounding this series).
We FINALLY get to find out the "back-story" for both Crystal (shocking!), and Mark (heart-wrenching!) to see how they've become the people they are today. Together, they are able to realize that the past doesn't define who they are.

I felt like the main story – Rebecca's murder, wasn't really given much thought. The resolution (if you call it that) was rushed, and I really expected more. This alone left me disappointed.

Overall though, I did enjoy this series!


Rachael☆☆☆☆☆
This is by far my absolute favorite read of 2014. I couldn't put it down from the very first word. I suppose part of it might have had to do with the fact that I was DYING to get my hands on Mark. Boy did this story not disappoint. I absolutely loved the complexity of Mark and Crystal's relationship.

Mark has a whole lot in his past that makes him the way that he is, but Crystal refuses to allow him to hide behind the same dominating persona that has kept his heart safe since he lost Rebecca. She doesn't even know just how much she is breaking down the walls that Mark has hidden behind. It's effortless because of the woman she is and her refusal to let Mark push her into the roles that he normally uses.

While Crystal is clawing her way into Mark's heart and soul, he is slowly navigating the minefield that is her past as well. All the scars and pain that fill both their past is what makes them paired so well and understanding that force isn't the way to get through to some people.

And of course, we finally get some answers about who did what to Rebecca and where Ava, Ricco and Ryan play into the story. I can't say much about it all without giving it away, but you won't be disappointed. Mark is everything and more that we saw in previous parts of the story.


Johanna☆☆☆☆
I have been in love with this series from the first book! This one had Mark's story, and he put all the missing pieces together. I feel like after reading this series I can finally move on. I don't want to spoil anything but my hopes for a finale did not live up to what I expected. I'm not really sure what I expected, and although I'm not disappointed I had expected more flourish in the end. The author did, however, really entertain me with this series, and I look forward to more great series from her.


Angie☆☆☆☆
This is the 5th book in the series and you have to read the other books first. This is Mark and Crystal’s story. We have been waiting for this story forever it seems and it didn’t disappoint. We learned so much about Mark and he is actually a really likeable guy once you know his story. Crystal is amazing and so sweet, how can you not love her? I don’t want to give anything away but we do get answers to the questions we have all been waiting for.

Characters: The characters were well written and believable.
Sex: Yes
Religious: No
Would I recommend to others: Yes

“I’m not worried about tomorrow. I’m worried about right now, with you, under this Christmas tree.” Blake supported her neck as he laid her on the floor.

Livia turned her head. “You’d better convince me. So far you’ve talked about the dog going to the bathroom, trash, and dirtiness.”

Blake kissed her jaw and turned her head gently, kissing her mouth as she bit her lips together.

“Can’t I just convince you with my manly ways?” He wiggled his eyebrows.

He could, of course, do just that—but she shook her head. She loved the playful sparkle in his green eyes. His five o’clock shadow just made him more handsome, framing his kissable lips with scruff.

“Okay.” He put his fingers at the bottom of her shirt, lifting it gently so he could circle her belly button with his index finger. “You’re the sexiest, most beautiful woman on this planet. So sexy, in fact, that I had to have you. I had to make you bear my children because my universe and yours had to be combined. Everything I’ve ever been needed to be buried inside of you, so deep, so full of love that we created life. Twice.”

He lifted her shirt and kissed the tops of her breasts, whispering his devotion into her skin. “And it’s never enough. Unless I can hear you coming, I can’t think of anything else. All day every day. For years now. You’re that powerful, Livia. This. Us. It’s so intense that years haven’t cured me. I can’t stop wanting to make love to you.”

“Wow.” Livia smiled and pulled his face back to hers, kissing him and effectively stopping his beautiful words.

4.5 Becky Stars!

Spectacular ending to an all-consuming series that will always stick with me!

"I want to tell the world and our expectations to fuck off. I want to marry you, Eve. Let the world burn around us."

Saving Poughkeepsie, the final book! The Brothers' Legacy. It took me a week to read this book. I had to first come to terms with the fact that this is the last book, and second I had to read the words, savor them, let them soak in, and finally let them go. Beckett from the start of the series has been the bad guy that you can't help but love, the killer with a heart. Can he ever redeem himself in the eyes of the law and keep his brothers, Eve, and their families safe in Poughkeepsie?

It's Beckett, you know he's a force to be reckoned with, with Eve by his side they can burn it down. There's was so much to take in, I never had a chance to absorb the twists and turns before I was hit with another that would knock me off my axis. By the end I had tears rolling down my face and a love I can't describe for each and every character. Brilliance is Debra Anastasia!


Ruthie☆☆☆☆☆
Following straight on from my read of the previous two books in the series – this was just an amazing finale. Be clear that you really must read them all and in order to get the full beauty of the trilogy – so if you are starting here, please think again.

To maintain such a high quality plot and cast of fabulous, and flawed characters is a testament to the skill of Ms. Anastasia. She has definitely found a place on my 'Not to be missed' authors. And I may well have to buy physical copies of these books, just in case we suffer a catastrophic failure of technology. I'm not sure I could cope with the level of intensity often, but these will definitely be reread.

I loved the first book and could have stopped there – with hope... I devoured the second and spent a lot of it on tenterhooks ... so this really had a lot of live up to ... and WOW it certainly did that. My mind is so full of it all that it is difficult to distill it into useful sentences! Just believe me when I promise you will not regret a minute of it. Your heart rate will speed up, for good and for not so good – but keep the faith, and, maybe read it somewhere private, so you can let your emotions out. Love, loyalty, family – who can aspire to more?

Thank you Ms. Anastasia for making a very special contribution to the written word. I applaud your talent.


Johanna☆☆☆☆
Wow, what a spellbinding conclusion to a unique set of books. I am awe inspired! Beckett and Eve seem to be the couple to go through the worst, but thick or thin they are nothing to be trifled with. Amazing last installment, and almost too much to wrap my head around. Author did a real good job of portraying all the characters but I think I enjoyed Beckett and Eve the most. This last chapter was so good, I would definitely read from this author again. Overall entertainment is four stars.

There are a lot of eyes in Debra Anastasia’s house in Maryland. First, her own creepy peepers are there, staring at her computer screen. She’s made two more sets of eyes with her body, and the kids they belong to are amazing. The poor husband is still looking at her after 17 years of marriage. At least he likes to laugh. Then the freaking dogs are looking at her—six eyeballs altogether, though the old dog is blind. And the cat watches her too, mostly while knocking stuff off the counter and doing that internal kitty laugh when Deb can’t catch the items fast enough.

In between taking care of everything those eyes involve, Debra creates pretend people in her head and paints them on the giant, beautiful canvas of your imagination. What an amazing job that is. The stories hit her hard while driving the minivan or shaving her legs, especially when there’s no paper and pen around. In all of the lies she writes hides her heart, so thank you for letting it play in your mind.

Debra is eternally grateful to Omnific Publishing, which has now published five of her books: two in the Seraphim Series and three in the Poughkeepsie Brotherhood Series, as well as her novella, Late Night with Andres. That one is special because 100% of the proceeds go to breast cancer research. (So go get it right now, please!)

You can find her at DebraAnastasia.com and on Twitter. But be prepared...
