Review : Silver & Black by Tyler May

*** 2 Stars***

What did I think?

What did I think?

What did I think?

Hmmmm....




You want honest? Okay. I enjoyed the 50% of this book, even I recalled some 'similarities' with 'that one famous book' and some books after that. And the next was just felt flat.
Here's my list...

Billionaire
Stalking
Research
Contract
Penthouse
New smartphone
And the texting
”What you do to me?” (remember this?)
…all of “He’s a good man” thing ;)
Quotes :
“I’m a complicated man, Mr. Black, and I’m very selfish. So when you agree to want me. I expect it only to be me.” Whoa, this just changed directions.
“I have specific tastes and I don’t date often. It took a while to find you and I want you. All of you.”

Didn't it reminds you of a very famous quotes... "My taste is very singular, Miss Steele"... (?)

Oh, well.Ring any bells, guys?


I dunno, maybe it's just the pattern? Or, I'm just being a nagging reader? Point my nose, blame me!
I found myself put it on hold a few time, because I was kinda tired. I was bored.
And I'm cranky when I'm bored.



And, to be perfectly frank, I don't think we need book 2 in the future.
The 'twist' at 90%, was just Mr.Silver being 'not very communicative' to Mr.Black.
Worth my time? Not so much.






The back cover of paperback "reminds me" of this.I hope it's just coincidence.

*** 5 stars!***



Guys, this is what I need in my MM books, the great chemistry between heroes, enough portion of angst (not over the top), flawed heroes, good family, pets, great friendship, and grannies!!!
So far this one is my favorite of the series, Felice Stevensnailed it this time. I was really glad I finally read this one, and I'm re-reading it now! So worth my precious time!

Micah and Joshua are so adorable together. And I loved how patience Josh to Micah, even Micah hurt his feeling a few times (and I really wanted to slap Micah's head at the time), guess Josh is just the right man for Micah.
i loved Micah with his flawed behavior, the jealousy and his love for Lucky, the dog. It's kinda funny, actually, when they had a fight, and Micah told Josh that he'll keep Josh because he can't live without Lucky! Awwwww..... These guys are really made for each other.

I love the Grannies! OMG! Ethel and all her bossy attitude, won my heart. And Alex....I know there's something he's hiding. I hope Felice would give him his own story. With Rafe, maybe? *wink*

Oh, and the sex was.... a panty wet worthy! Hot and sexy!



This is about friendship, love, acceptance, finding your true passion, family. This one is just... Complete!

I finished the book with a smile on my face, and still can't stop thinking about it. Beautiful!
I want to read more of this kind of story from Felice and my favorite authors.

Highly recommended!

Damn you C.J. Bishop !!!!
I need book 2&3 NOW !!!!

Cowboy Gangster, Axel and Clint's story is so far the best one of the whole series. And Clint and Axel were easily became my favorite couple !

This is a spin off of Phoenix series, the earlier 18 books, I don't think you can read it separately, because it's tightly as a continuation of the series.
I considered it as book #19.
You can give us another 50 CJ and I will definitely read it all !

The Prelude made me worry about their future, and the pain was already there, torturing me while reading their "earlier" story.

I know it's not going to be an easy ride with the next book, ugly crying guaranteed in the future. But I know I have friends to hold in to, and hope for a better for Axel and Clint.

Axel was easily erased my hatred to him to become loving him for what he had been through, and Clint saw that Axel has the power to make him submit and weak.
Clint, a criminal, mob, hitman, and all uglies in life, but I now his story will break my heart soon as it will reveal.
Clint, as in Axel's story, is a 'hero' in my story too. All the love he gave to Axel, leave me breathless.

I hope, in the "three months after", Cory would be Axel's best friend and stand beside him, because I know that he need Cory, when he's is crumbling down and Clint need Cory to be with Axel as his guardian angel while he's back to his old shelf.

All we can do now, is hope, that HEA is waiting in the end of their journey, because I know, Axel and Clint deserved it.

And I hope I can see Cory'-s story in the future. I was losing hope with Shay. :(

You are an amazing story teller CJ !
I'm a slave to your stories !

Highly Recommended!


Note.
I'm not a beta reader, didn't received the ARC , or a good friend of the author, neither I'm an ass licker.
This is an honest review.




"For future references," he murmured with that pulse quickening drawl as he approaches slowly. One hand slid though Axel's hair, cupped the back of his head and drew Axel,'s lips to his, "I can hear a pin drop in on a bed of cotton,"


We’re afraid because we feel vulnerable and don’t feel like we can defend ourselves. I could stay by your side for the rest of your life and beat down every threat that presented itself, but you still wouldn’t truly feel safe until you knew you could take care of yourself.


He was wrong - memories could still hurt a person. Cut them open and leave them bleeding.


"Oh, a word of advice,"Jimmy said as he opened the door. "If you want to convince your neighbors that you're not gay..." A grin cut across his face. "Probably shouldn' scream out your boyfriend's name during sex." He winked. "Chereio."


"He said no one had ever needed him for anything, or even depended on him. And it made him feel good to be needed, to...take care of someone...even in something as insignificant as that. I think, on top of everything else, he feels...unnecessary."


"You're a hero," he said quietly. Hero. Clint had been lot of things in life, but never that. His heart continued to go wild in his chest. "I usually play the role of villain," he admitted. Axel shook his head and cast Clint another of those knee-weakening sidelong smiles, his eyes glowing. "Not in my story." His lips twitching, Clint murmured, "So I'm in your story am I?"


"But all of this,...you...it scares the hell out of me. I survive by being in control. But you..." Clint touched the tip of his nose to Axel's. "You strip away my control."
"Do I want you Axel?"
"I want you so bad I can't breathe."


If he lived ten lifetimes, he doubted he would be able to solve the mystery of this kid's power over him. Just a glance from those eyes could command him. And that smile enslaved him. The "why" was no longer important.

CRONIN'S KEY Review by NR Walker


***** 5 cutest vampire couples EVER stars!*****

"“M’cridhe, m’grĂ dh, gu brath.”
My heart, my love, forever. "


Cronin and Alec




Can you imagine a very alpha, the eldest, respected vampire leader from 8th century is smitten and became "not so alpha" again after he met his fated mate? After a long cold waiting for more than 1300 years?
Yeah. That.
That's Cronin, my friends, right after he met Alec, an all stubborn, sarcastic, brave and full alpha mode police detective!
And OMG! I'm so "smitten" with these two adorable guys, to the level I want to be sandwiched cuddle between them!
And speaking about cuddles...
Imagine Alec and Cronin cuddling like a horny teenagers in front of everyone without shame..and Cronin is a cutest blushing vampire ever!
You'll fall for Cronin and Alec without doubts!
Well, I do.



There are so many sweet moments but yet twist as well (made me cry kinda twist) but... yeah, not enough to make me stop reading.

Alec could be so romantic when it comes to Cronin. Challenging an ancient Japanesse vampire, Eiji, his very own guardian angel since he was born, not a wise action...but Eiji just laughed...and said , that what he should do if he's in Alec position!
That's cute!

And Cronin, dare to look at Alec in a mannner he do not approved? He'll kill you!

"“I’ll have you know,” Cronin said lowly. “This human man is mine. Touch him, even look at him in a manner I do not care for, and I will kill you myself.”

I loved all the secondary (good) characters, Eiji, Jordis,Kole, Bes, Eleanor and even Johan!
And Kole, he's being a great father and approved Cronin (all vampire and Scottish)...yeah..just because he's Scottish only!

These are some of my favorite quotes I failed to reduced...
"Cronin lifted his chin. “You have just learned that humans are not the only people to walk this earth. You’ve leapt with me, you’ve seen vampiric teeth, you’re sitting in a room with three vampires, yet you are not afraid?”


"Alec smiled back at him, their eye contact intense. It was the first time he realized he might actually be smitten with Cronin.
Smitten, Alec thought. Who the fuck uses words like smitten? Oh, that’s right. I do. Apparently. Since Mr. Suave-and-Sexy-Vampire here leapt into my life and informed me that we’re fated to one another for all eternity."

"He patted the seat next to him. “Take a seat.”
Cronin hesitated.
Alec rolled his eyes. “I don’t bite.”
Cronin smiled. “And you complain about my humor. Yours is questionable, more so than mine.”"

Alec lifted Cronin’s chin. “My heart is not theirs to take,” Alec whispered. “It belongs to someone else.”Cronin’s eyes closed slowly as he smiled. “As mine belongs to you."

"“I’m hardly to blame,” he said, giving Cronin a fake glare. “You’re the reason I have to do that. Just sitting there, all Scottish and sexy as hell.”"


And here's Alec when he's being so alpha...
A week ago, Alec would have bristled at the suggestion that he belonged to anyone. Now he smiled. “I would not assume to correct an Elder, but you are mistaken,” Alec said with a smile. “It is Cronin who belongs to me.”
Kennard laughed, looking younger still. “Hearts lay broken around the world at such news.”"



I loved the ending, kinda impatient waiting for May to come!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
