Hostile Kisses by Tatiana Moore


Title - Hostile Kisses
Author - Tatiana Moore
Genre - Contemporary, Romance, Adult, Funny
Source - Own, Kindle 
Synopsis - Daisy Harper is through with Adam Hood. They are officially broken up, which means no more funny business. She’s doing a great job of ignoring him—or so she convinces herself.

But all it takes to bring her reserves crashing down is one little question: May I kiss you?

When warned by her best friend not to sleep with him on the eve of a blood-red sun, Daisy fully intends to heed this advice. But when it comes to Adam, she’s never had much self control. One kiss is all it takes for them both to come undone. Sexy, demanding, and passionate, Adam wants her desperately. She feels the same for him, but can’t bring herself to say the three little words he wants to hear. Because of this, he’s the one to call it quits, and this time he’s not playing around. 

Daisy knows she belongs with Adam. Although she blames the omen of the blood-red sun, the truth is that she’s clutched in fear that the past will certainly repeat itself if she says “I love you.” So much could go wrong with these words. She must learn to trust herself and Adam or she really will lose him forever.

Broken Beauty by Lizzy Ford, writing as Chloe Adams.


Title - Broken Beauty 
Author - Chloe Adams, a.k.a, Lizzy Ford
Genre - Adult, Rape, Violence, Contemporary
Source - NetGalley
Synopsis - **Contains graphic content and the sensitive topic of rape and its aftermath. Not intended for teens under the age of 18.**
Sometimes bad things happen to beautiful people.
When socialite party girl Mia Abbott-Renou wakes up in a garden she has little recall of the previous night -- except that she is naked...hurt...terrified. Not only has she been raped, but she knows one of her assailants: the son of a wealthy politician who happens to be her own father’s political ally.
Mia wants and needs justice. Except this privileged boy has an alibi and her father forbids her from going to the police. It’s a critical election year, one that his party might lose if his image as a doting father is soured due to Mia being labeled a lush or worse, promiscuous.
Devastated at not having the support of her family, Mia finds herself in a tug-of-war with her conscience over what to do, especially since she can’t remember exactly what happened that night. Worse, the men who attacked her have hurt several other girls, and Mia may be the key to stopping them.
Mia tries to forget, until the unthinkable happens, and she’s left reeling once again, faced with a new challenge that will force her to take more control of her life.
