Five Star Fabulous follow up!
Ms. Wolff has provided an incredible follow up to her first book "Shredded" in the extreme risk series. Can "Shattered" be read as a stand alone? Yes, it can ; however I do recommend reading "Shredded" first since the first book gives you backround history on all of the characters , but especially gives you a good look at who Ash Lucas really was before tragedy strikes! Ash pre-tragedy was a rising snowboard competitor top of his field with an eye on the next Olympics , solid , reliable,fun loving, driven, goal oriented friend, he is the friend who was there for everyone, especially his buddy Z .
Ash's Olympic dream ends the day he looses his parents in a car accident and finds himself guardian to his 14 year old brother Logan, his brother Logan who loved snowboarding as much as him, who had his own Olympic aspirations. Who now is paralyzed. Ash's career did not end because of Logan, but because of Ash's own guilt, guilt that his parents died coming to see him perform, guilt because his brother is now paralyzed because he was coming also, Los and lots of guilt that he lays on himself! Ash gave up snowboarding sing the excuse that he needs to be their for his brother. It's too dangerous, his consent worry for Logan, bu not snowboarding is eating away at his soul, his brother knows it , he sees it , Ash's freinds see it but how to get him to move on ,get back on the slopes and forgve himself for something that was not his fault!
Enter Tansy, a nineteen year old cancer patient " survivor" finally after ten years in full remission ! Tansy works for the make a wish foundation and her first case is for a 14 year old boy Timmy who loves Ash, major hero worship and he wants as his wish to spend a day with Ash snowboarding. Since, ash has not answered an of her e- mails , she takes herself to his job for a face to ace request, which goes sideways because the Ash who in the past would of taken her request to talk as just that and not a snow bunny come on, never mind in the past would have passed on the come on being more the relationship type, well he makes the assumption hat Tansy is just another snow bunny and though he tempts Tansy the breaks are put on. Ash is suprised to discover he misread the situation and although he would love to help her fufill Timmy's wish , he shoots Tansy down , he does not snowboard anymore and he is adamant about it! Luckily for Timmy , Ash has a brother and freinds who want the old Ash back and the first step in that Journey is getting him back on the slopes!
The addition of Tansy character s so much more than a romance relationship, she becomes , a challenge, a sounding board and the heater that starts melting the hardness that has overtaken Ash and in turn Ash becomes Tansy's chance at being more than cancer girl, she gets to be an attractive wanted women!
The story is a journey, not of one but many, romance, growth, friendship and future! I stressed for them, I cried, I laughed and I finally breathed a sigh of relief for them!
Great series great author, can not wait for the nex one!

"Rush" , was a incredible read though and so much more than the book blurb promised, so if you are looking for a fluff story this is not it ! Yes, " R"Rush" , was a incredible read though and so much more than the book blurb promised, so if you are looking for a fluff story this is not it ! Yes, " Rush" gives you the hot sexy, experienced confident guy in Max Levin and the somewhat sheltered niave young women , Everly Parker . They have a more than undeniably mutual attraction for one another but both from different worlds, Max Levin is the son of the the number one porn company and heir apparent to the empire, so sex is no stranger to him , but it's is rare that the sight of a women stimulates him, until meeting the unassuming complete opposite of the normal women he is exposed to Ms EverlyParker ! Everly Parker , is a hard working law student in her last year of law school, pressured heavily by her lawyer parents to succeed , Everly lives and breathe her school work, no time for fun or dates or to just read a book because she feels like it .the only person in her life who ever encouraged her to do something other than schoolwork was her recently deceased grandmother To the point of even leaving Everly a bucket list of things to do before she finishes law school. Once max sees the list he knows it is his chance at getting this shy beauty to spend some time with a guy like him, always looked at as a second class citizen no matter how much charitable work or money he donates , all anyone sees. Is the porn . The bucket list becomes an intergral part of Max and Everly story , it aids in both of their metamorphosis . The story is a journey of love , sexual awakening and life altering events!

I found "Filmed " to be an intresting read but I will say that I did not really find the subject of Linda's enfactuation " Noah " to be the a..hole, he supposedly was with the exception for one scene. However, I am getting ahead of myself.
Linda is starting college and decides go to the new movie theater on campus with her girlfreind and winds up running into Noah Cartersen, nor like falling on her rear after walking into him, giving him a nice view of her polka dot undies; embarrassed and a bit flummoxed she sits staring at Noah in all his glory, because really he is just to handsome for his own good. Noah helps her up and she earns her nickname of " dots" .
Over the next few days all Linda can do is think about Noah and finds that she shares a class with him, she does no want to be attracted to him. She should stay far away from him, he s handsome, a player and comes from money, but when Noah takes an intrest in her avoiding Noah becomes harder , worse is that she feels he should not be paying any attention to her, but what she does not realize is that even though Noah has a reputation as a player, he's truly in her more seriously than wha she thinks. So when Linda seeks out employment at the movie theater and comes to discover that Noah works there and of course why wouldn't his father ( a Hollywood producer) donated the new theater t the college, she winds up working closely with him. Linda is close with her mom who is a professor a the University of Pittsburgh and a former movie reviewer for the NY Times, Linda starts talking about Noah with her mother hoping to see if her mother can give her any insight and discovers that her mother and Noah's father have a longstanding conflict since she worked at the Times. Linda, then perceives the conflict their parents had to be more of an issue than it is. Noah and Linda start to see each other but then all of a sudden Noah cuts her off totally, his one asshole moment. Noah's dad on te other hand is the player, the asshole and is the reason why Noah winds up cutting Linda out of his life, do to threats his father makes. After a few months These two eventually work through things and it is an Intresting trip getting there. I liked Noah but Linda did grate on me at times, her poor self esteem, her automatically assuming things about Noah based on what she heard about his past, communication was an issue for these two. But when these two do get together, things are pretty hot and pretty good.
Very much a teen drama type story Lots of angst and drama.

Our main character , Amy Woodall is a young app designer struggle to finish developing her first app and hoping tomsell it ; she is holding down a job at a local cafe to make ends meet , so she has no time for men or dating, but maybe a little flirting on line. Amy meets Rex Blue on line and spend the better part of what little free time she has flirting and sexting with him, back and forth what she would like to do do him and n turn wht he would like to do to her. The two exchange pictures and Rex is hot, and Amy is captured but when he suggest they meet she has to put it off , she has a meeting to sell her app to one of the largest development agencies Adstringo. And she needs to be ready.
So imagine her suprise when she walks into her meeting and the very Rich, private owner of Adstringo Shane Green is the very same person she has been sexting with Rex Blue; Adstringo is buyin her app , the are hiring her on and she will be working closely with Shane on finishing the app and bringing it to the public . After the meeting Shane asks her to mee him at a local bar and Shane explains given his work and desire keep his lfe as private as possible , he enjoys a little online flirtation. These two try to keep things jus business but that is just not going to happen but if they are going to try for any type of relationship Amy has to agree to and nderstand his rules ; she can not tell anyone about them, if she is seeing him she can not see other men and last but not least , she can only orgasm when he says so.
I loved the charachter of Amy, she was smart and caring with a big heart; at first I was not taken with Shane he seemed cold and clinical ( reminding me Mr Grey when we first meet him), but as you read and you find out why he has a need for such privacy it's understandable and he bagan to grow on me, winning huge pints when he loosens up his need for control and goes to support Amy when she needs him the most.
My one wish for this book , would of liked the dual point of view rather than just Amy's.
So congrats to Ms. Hamel on her first book, I am looking foward to reading more of your work!

Trade me does give you a billionaire but a down to earth , sweeTrade Me, if your are expecting a FSOG or a Crossfire series billionaire type, don't ! Trade me does give you a billionaire but a down to earth , sweet, non dominant Billionare with a problem ! Blake Reynolds who has left his position at Cyclone industries the family owned company to go to college an escape the all encompassing work at cyclone and the memories that add to his fear and problems .
Tina Chen, her life is the opposite of Blake's , Tina lives in poverty having to worry about every dollar and living on rice and the many ways you can enhance it as your next meal . Tina's day takes her from class , to work, to homework and back again , then throw in having to worry about her parents have enough money, their bills are paid; her father is out of work, her mother works for Walmart, but she also advocates for other Chinese families trying to get asssylum in the U.S., which often causes her mother to put those people's needs infrin of her own family, bills not paid, medications not purchased ; in short Tina's carrying a lot on her shoulders.
So when a class discussion about food stamps and if providing aid to people just keeps them dependent; Blake's comments on the subject set her off into a litany and pretty much she suggestion that he should try living her life before commenting on it. An offer that over the next twenty four hours becomes pretty appealing to Blake.
Blake seeking to escape his life and his problem, proposes just that and also makes it clear that he sees Tina and has seen Tina and that he is interested in her. Tina however is single sighted, she has a goal and it does not include Boyfreinds who will distract from her goal , but the Trade he offers, his salary, his house , his car, well that money will make a huge difference in her life and her families so , Tina. Agrees to the Trade. Making the Trade does one thing also , it winds up bringing these two into contact more often , which over the course of this agreement finds Blake slowly breaking down Tina's walls.
The book has its fair share of drama and things do get hot and heavy between these two eventually, I found myself annoyed with Tina on more than one occassion because she is so negative about having a relationship , but you come to find out that is her problem, her fear, that if you love someone you can ge hurt.
The secondary characters in this book are pretty intresting, Tina's best freind Maria and roommate has her own family issues and problems which we will get a full run down on in the next book Hold me, and Tina's mom is a bit of a character but the most charismatic of them s Blake's father, Adam Reyolds, a self made Billionare , with an attitude and a colorful vocabulary to match, but for all of his sharp edges their is no denying he loves his son.
So , why three stars you ask? Well for me, I love the trading lives idea , I really found myself liking Blake, but until near the end of the book Tina was missing the mark for me, her fear of a relationship through the book,annoyed me, she was so dead set on avoiding a relationship , she only saw the negatives of having one and those being how you feel when one ends, she never saw the possibility of the relationship and it not ending.Off course once you find out why Tina is so over cautious, it makes sense, but you still wnt these two to make it work and so did Ms Milan apparently because To change the course of the relationship the author has to create some pretty dramatic drama near the end, but that same Drama has me hooked now, I am looking foward to see how Blake and Tina work to merge their worlds, how they each overcome their problems and how the secondary characters lives develop.

Pixie is spending her summer working a her Aunts Inn as kitchen help , why ? ; well the job offers free room and board and the very last thing she wants to do is go home to her mom's; can't say I blame her ,as you will see her mom is a piece of work. The last person Pixie expects to see never mind be sharing a shower and bath with is Levi . Levi is working for her aunt also as a handyman, so avoiding one another just became impossible and the shared bathroom provides a basis for so many hilarious senarios.
The sexual tension between these two is more then evident to everyone at the Inn, guest, other employees including Pixie's Aunt. Levi and pixie try to ignore it which makes for some intresting situations, but what these two are doing is just avoiding the main issue. They have a long history together, Levi and Pixie grew up together, Pixie was Levi's sister Charity's best freind since they were six and Levi has always been her protector , ( truth is he still is to spite everything) as children during sleep overs if it stormed the girls would end up in his bed so he could protect them, coming home looking for his transformers to find Pixie playing with them using them as the protectors of her Barbie; Pixie has always been in his life ,in his home,... . For Pixie ,Levi's parents were like her own for all the time she spent there , so many memories so much time together,and a burgeoning relationship between them before college, so what happened, whats the Elephant The room?Well that is the second half of the book and I am not one for spoilers if I can avoid them! A year of avoiding each other has not solved the problem, these two have issues to work through both separately and together, they have to get past the huge Elephant in the room to move on.The author takes you through them and has your feelings along with the characters flipping back and forth! I volleyed from wanting to just give these two a smack and yell snap out of it be their for one another to totally empathizing with them! Overall I really truly enjoyed this book, Oh, and Levi has some major book boyfriend potential !

Four big emotional stars for this book!
I found this book to be an emotional read, it drew me in and held me captive and brought out the mothering instincts in me and left me wanting to reach in grab Lacey St. James and hug her , tell her we would make it all better, because this poor girl has been let down horribly by the very people who should of been there to support her!
Lacey at one time had it all, a loving step father and mother and a younger brother, and extended family in Oregon and it all changed when her step father died, her mother packed them up and moved them to Mississippi to live with her grandmother in a trailer park, to add to being uprooted she has to endure constant verbal abuse from her grandmother, she drops out of high school to help with bills and care for her little brother because her mom's way of coping has become living in the bottom of a liqueur bottle! Lacey current boyfriend Macon , is controlling and sometimes abusive but she sees him as her only escape from her grandmother , she desperately wants to change her life make something better for herself.
One night out with a girlfreind ( and I use this term very loosely) Lacey meets Everett and she finds herself attracted to him , but she does not want to add further complications to her life, besides he will only wind up hearing the nasty gossip spread by the town about her and not wnt anything to do with her, but tht is not Everrett 's style. When Macon catches up with her at the bar it is Everrett who comes to her rescue, Everrett who takes her home and Everrett who offers his help and friendship. Everrett has his own demons to battle so when these two spend time together there is always a secret in the background . At every turn and every bad thing that happens to Lacey , Everrett is their to support her. With his help Lacey's life begins to turn around until Everretts demons catch up with them ; then it is time for Lacey to become his support but is she up for the challenge ?
I was drawn into this book, its an emotional roller coaster The sitting on the edge of your seat parts, hoping it would work out for Lacey to watch Lacey work towards that better life for herself and her little brother .it was wonderful in the end to see Lacey an Everrett on the way to an HEA together . This book had me edgy reading it, if you don't mind. Book wich will have you experiencing a multitude of feelings through out pick this one up , was. Great red! ...more
I admit it , I am a sucker for a bad boy an Z MichaelsArc provided by Net Galley for an honest review!
Okay it is official call me a Tracy Wolff fan!
I admit it , I am a sucker for a bad boy an Z Michaels is the epitome of bad boy, sexy, tattooed, huge ego, great body and a snow bunny magnet, but all of it is a cover for the real Z Michaels, the Z, who has so much tragedy in his past that he blames himself for; and as a result lives on the edge and punishes himself. Though Z has lifelong friends in Ash, Cam and Luc he just refuses to open himself up to them. Instead, he drowns his issues in liquor , drugs, women and dangerous stunts . Z'slife is about to get twisted because the new girl n Park City , Ophelia Richardson , is not falling at his feet, she is actually oing very thing she can to chase Z away, which just makes her more desirable.Ophelia has her problems though. She is at Park City to recuperate from her own tragedy and her last boyfriend Remi! These two tormented people fast become each others lifeline to spite Ophelia's effort to not get involved with another bad boy; Ophelia Is is good for Z though because above everything else, Z loves women they should be treated right, he can not stand to see a women hurt. z desire to be a support for Ophelia leads him tobe better.
I had a hard time putting this book own I wanted to know their Demons I wanted to see if there was. HEA in store for them , it looks like you get one but the epilogue throughs youa little twist , sets up the next book for Ash and leaves you questioning how the latest is goingobe effect everyone else. I also loved the setting it was a nice change of pace, the Ski slopes in Utah ; different from so many stories that take place in large cities, corporate America or warm romantic vacation spots .
So if you would like a change of pace, a twist , turn and flip in the air, well Shred it and pick up " Shredded" ! ...more
