I never wanted to lie to her, but I knew I couldn’t keep her safe if she knew.
I hurt her, more than I ever wanted to and I have to live with that each day that I’m away from her. But one day she’ll know, that every day spent away from her was hell.
Hi everyone! I'm Sloane *waves*. I'm 27, a total book nerd with a penchant for travel and I probably use the words Dude & Awesomesauce far too often in real life.! I write mainly Paranormal Romance NA & YA, but I'll be branching out into other Romance genres too.
I was born and raised in Peterborough, England along with 2 sisters, 2 brothers and a plethora of cousins, I come from a REALLY big family! I'm one of the clumsiest people you'll ever meet, but I try to stay on my feet *haha*. I still live here with Mr M & our fur baby Arya.
Please don't be afraid to come and say hi! I don't bite I swear :)
★SHE WAS UNTOUCHED. UNTIL SHE MET ME. AND THEN I RUINED HER LIFE.★
Hey, beautiful. My name is Mason and my job is one simple thing: I want you to HATE ME. I want you to hate this story. I want you to hate this book. I want you to leave a nasty review on this book.
Actually, I dare you to do that.
This is the story of me being me and a beautiful, innocent woman named Violet who moved in next door to me. From the second I saw her I had to have her. But then she slipped up and confessed she had never been touched... that's when she became my ultimate obsession.
My name is Mason... and, beautiful, you really are going to hate me.
OUR OPINION:
First let me say that the build up marketing to Hate Me by Jaxson Kidman was FANTABULOUS! You are going to have to like Jaxson Kidman's author page on Facebook and dig a little to read up on it, but I'll try to summarize a bit.
Jaxson started getting these emails from Mason Hateme stating he was all that and if given the opportunity, Jaxson's fans would leave him and follow Mason where ever. Keep in mind that none, zero, nada of Jaxson's fans knew what he was working on. Mason touted that we would HATE him...and yet our deepest, darkest souls would end up LOVING him.
(I hate admitting anytime a man is right...but Mason was right)
There was even an event planned where Jaxson and Mason would go head to head throwing barbs. I sat back and watched the magic happen...I had a good idea where this was going.
Right at the end someone asked to see a picture of Mason...to put up or shut up.
And that is when Mason threw down his picture...the cover of HATE ME.
Understandably, some of Jaxson's fans were upset...they had invested time in the Jaxson/Mason war, tossing insults and posting support of their favorite author at Mason. They were emotionally and unequivocally invested. But overall, I think his fans were OK with what happened and they shifted gears from defense to GIVE ME THAT BOOK NOW!
I was salivating...because there is nothing I love more than a book that is going to throw me around emotionally...and this seemed right up my alley!
I sped through this book. Show me. Show me where I will Hate you, Mason.
Did I hate him? Yes. This man is the exact definition of MAN WHORE. He is rude, obnoxious, and self-serving...though he does have that ladies first mentality...so not totally self-serving.
But did I love him? Lord help me, YES! And do I hate myself for it? Sort of...not really. He is amazing! Under all of that bravado, sits a man who women are going to fall in love with over and over again.
For me this book experience has basically been all about the build up...and then the release. It's been a total experience and I literally feel bad for anyone who has missed out on it.
There is actually a leading lady in this book...though you'd never guess from my review. That is just how much of my headspace has been taken up with Mason.
But Violet is great! She is strong and determined and she handles Mason like a pro...a virgin pro. I loved her spirit and she is the best match up for him!
And guess what? There will be more Mason. So read HATE ME now so you don't have to rush later!
I have no pre-order links for you for this book! Hate Me releases June 8th.
My best advice is to stalk Jaxson Kidman in hopes he drops pre-order links soon!
Lamplight Review and Promotion is giving Hate Me by Jaxson Kidman 5 stars.
Are you a hero yet?
Her words rang in my head.
I wanted to be.
For you, I want to be, I told her in my dream, the dream where she kissed me again.
A hero-worthy kiss.
Stay safe, she had said. Come back to me.
My lips tingled.
The brush of hers over mine a memory held in the blackest of night,
the hottest of desert days,
and the cold-evil hell of war against hidden enemies.
I wanted another chance to taste those lips,
melt them against mine,
and mold her body to me.
I wanted to live.
My name is Tegan Zander, and I like to… bare myself. Yes, you read that right. It’s not just me I want everyone to see, but also the lucky person I’m with at the moment. No, I don’t go around whipping out my junk and pulling up skirts to flash all the Joe Blows around. Give me some credit; I’m a bit more discreet than that.
Barely.
No, I like to be watched while fucking. I like knowing someone else is in the room, getting off on what my partner and I are doing. This is my sexual vice, and I fucking love it.
What I don’t do is relationships. I have too much fun in my bachelor life. I don’t want to be tied down to one woman when there are still so many out there to explore.
Willow Bennett was just a woman I helped on the side of the road. Nothing more, nothing less, even if her hot little body demanded attention from mine.
I did my good deed, kissed those sweet lips, ground my jean-covered length against her softness, and left, expecting to never see her again.
But then, there she was, in her short skirt, tank top, and flip-flops, looking sexy as hell. She didn’t know it yet, but she was my next plaything.
I was going to expose her along with me. I was going to show her just how good it could be if she lost her inhibitions and let me put her on display.
I don’t do relationships, but with this girl, I just might… expose my heart to her.

I wanted another chance to taste those lips, melt them against mine, and mold her body to me. I wanted to live. For Katie.
Our Opinion:
Oh Katie and Levi...your story made me ugly cry. I actually considered walking away from your story at one point...I was so heartbroken.
L.B. Dunbar is now on my one click list. If The History In Us has proven anything, it is that I will get a highly emotional read...and sometimes I just want to FEEL.
The History In Us had me all over the place...hopeful, sad and sometimes even irritated!
Levi's history was sometime heartbreaking. I wondered at times if he would ever come to terms with his past and be able to love.
I loved all the flashbacks, they really filled in the story and added to some of the angst I was feeling.
It was fresh to have a couple that didn't just jump into bed right from the start...even though they may have wanted to. The build of their relationship made the story solid.
And any time you add in a sweet little baby...you win! Oh little AJ...I would have loved to have this story longer if not only to hear you call Katie "Momma"....maybe even right in front of his egg donor.
The History in Us gave us all the feels...so we are giving it 5 stars!

Our Opinion:
This book was HOT! Tegan is a NAUGHTY boy!
This series by Alex Grayson which is based on sexual addictions is amazing! I wish that Ms. Grayson could write it faster! I was hooked with Always Wanting but Bare Yourself is 10 times hotter and Tegan will satisfy all of your needs for a book boyfriend.
I think my heart was racing from chapter two and outside of some adult responsibility, I did not put this book down.
The transformation for Tegan from playboy to entertaining the idea of being a one-woman man is always neat to see and it is always one of my favorite things to read.
I also really enjoyed Willow. She was definitely knew to Tegan's type of sexual preference and her discovery and experimentation into his world made for some hot reading.
Throw in the drama from Willow's brother and you have yourself a winner.
Lamplight Review and Promotion is giving Bare Yourself 5 stars, for many reasons, but specifically because it gave me all the feelings I need out of a read. Angst, romance, drama...it's all there tenfold!
After Always Wanting I put Alex Grayson on my one-click list...she is now on my list of top authors to read...fan for life!
