INVINCIBLE

Release Date: February 23, 2014

I'll be honest with you—I'm no hero. Sure—the media tries to brand every Navy SEAL as some kind of Batman dressed in cammies. There’s even a line in one of our cadences—"superman is the man of steel, he ain’t no match for Navy SEAL." You've seen the movies—we're indestructible, invincible, invulnerable. But that night, the one you read about in the papers—all I really wanted to do was get laid.

One harmless fuck with a Curaçao whore—no strings attached. I picked her out of a lineup—wild, dark hair, long legs and a crooked smile. After she sucked me off, I relaxed back onto the creaky, cum-stained cot, thankful for the blissful moments she gave me when I actually forgot for a second the faces of my buddies who died because I made the wrong call, the tears of the children I couldn't save, and the eyes of the enemies I slaughtered during their last seconds of life. 

But before I left, her green eyes peered into my soul. She whispered in a distinct So Cal accent, "My name is Annie Baylis. I'm an American citizen. I was kidnapped from a cruise ship five years ago. You're my last hope. Please save me."

One desperate plea. This wasn’t a Hollywood blockbuster or a New York Times best-selling thriller. I knew that this time there was no room for excuses, no margin for errors. I had one chance to put the cape on and be her hero.

Axel

4.5 STARS

Izzy and Axel were supposed to be together. He promised to return to her after his basic training in the Marines and Izzy promised to wait. But fate was not in their favor, throwing one loop after another.

Izzy is a sweet, caring, vulnerable woman who fell for the wrong guy (after Axel and their convoluted separation). Her abusive, sick, twisted ex-husband tried to separate her from her friends and family. She finally left their marriage six long f*cked up years.

She's strong in her own ways. She found a way to get past all of the fucked up shit she went through with the help of her best friend and a new foud friend, Greg. I liked her for that. She at least didn't give up on life (in general)

Axel is a hot alpha with a dirty, dirty mouth! 

And I like him for that! He never knew what really happened with his Izzy but after twelve years, just one look at her and all his feelings for her came crashing back.

I liked their story. I loved it from beginning til the end. I haven't read a book in a long while that had me turning the pages so fast 'cause I'm so hooked with their story.

4.5 STARS

Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When Victoria emailed me if I would be interested in reviewing her book I didn't even hesitate, I said yes with a big smile on my face. I'm glad I did because she didn't disappoint!

Yes! Finally! After a few months of dry spell for some badass, alpha, swoon worthy male lead I finally read one that made me super happy.

Sophie is a very smart woman however she is closed up in her own little world. She is a scientist holed up in her lab.

Sophie got herself in a bind when her life was threatened because of her father's research, which she continued and made possible. The Zefinium bomb can wipe a town and not leave trace of radiation in its wake. Well, of course people or organizations would want their hands on it. Enter Derek.

He is bull headed and doesn't take no for an answer,

But he is patient where it counts,

A dirty, dirty mouth,

A heart that can love,

I would've given this a 5 stars, however I just can't. There are some things that isn't for me. A little of some of the things kinda reminds me of KA... Maybe it's just me. And the ending left me wanting a bit more. Maybe I'm looking for more actions scenes. But don't get me wrong, this is a really great read. I enjoyed every page! This will definitely go in my read-again list.

Great work, Victoria! Thank you for allowing me to read your work in advance.

Would you recommend this book? Definitely, 100% YES!

FOUR STARS

Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Warning: If you're not into a story with rape scenes or m-m-m-f or being naked in public places then this might not be a read for you.

Lindsey is a girl who does what she wants, wherever and whenever she wants. She does not care what anybody think, even her mother. Until she met Zach. Zach is a member of the Navy, out to recruit in Lindsey's high school.

Their story was not hearts and flowers. It wont make you say "awww..." and it wont make you feel all gooey and warm inside (yes there are parts like that but this is not your typical love story). What they went through was hard and unconventional but in the end it was all worth it.

When I started readingt this I was totally turned off. I didnt get how Lindsey could stomach what she does and find enjoyment out of it. I actually stopped reading at 35%.

After a week, I picked it up again, I powered through and I'm glad I did. I understood why she was ating like that and I actually enjoyed their story.
