October 2016 Review Recap

Book Review – Unsuitable by Samantha Towle

“I want him. I hate to admit it, but it’s true.
I might not like Kas, and I might want to punch him in the nutsack. But I do want him. 
How screwed up is that?”

Unsuitable by Samantha Towle is a unique romantic suspense that I would have read in one sitting if I didn’t have to stop to do my sale list. I love books where the guy is a jerk at first (or a “kas-hole”). There were a lot of little facets to the story that all come into play at some time or another. It wasn’t completely unpredictable, but there were still a lot of surprises. I loved the heroine, Daisy; she was a fighter who wouldn’t let herself get beat down despite 18 months of wrongful imprisonment. But I never fully fell for Kas and I did think the end could have been expanded on a bit more. All in all though, Unsutable was an engaging unique read that I had to force myself to put down.

Audiobook Review – Beneath This Mask by Meghan March

“She was my addiction. I just hoped she wouldn’t be lethal. Regardless, I was in too deep to pull back.”

Beneath This Mask was a sexy, unique story that really transported me to NOLA and allowed me to really get to know the characters in the story. It was a sexy, quick read, and I highly recommend listening to it as I think the narration made it even better. I enjoyed it so much that I downloaded the next two in the series to listen to right away.

Book Review – Dark Needs by T.M. Frazier

“I LOVED her. I was OBSESSED with her. 
If anyone tried to tell me a story that involved love at first sight, I would shake my head and call it a bunch of horseshit. Love in general was a sketchy concept. Instant love was just fucking ridiculous. 
Until her.
The only thing with a stronger pull than the monstrous need to take the life of another was the pull of Abigail Ford. She didn’t show me that I was capable of love. 
She was the one who made me capable of love.”

If you have read the King Series first, he is introduced here in Dark Needs. If not, you need to start at the beginning with Dark Light of Day. I don’t want to go into too much detail because it’s short enough at about 90 pages, but I will say that this book completed The Dark Light of Day in a perfect way, and is a wonderful example of a follow up novella, as well as a prequel to the next book. Seeing Jake as a daddy was just heart melting.

Dark Needs was sexy, dirty, gritty and sweet. I wish I was able to listen like I did to all of her other books, but it’s not available on audio. That’s OK though, I read it in one sitting, and honestly can not find one thing I would change. Dark Needs is another book from T.M. Frazier that has me kicking myself saying “why did I wait so long?”

Audiobook Review – Beneath This Ink by Meghan March

“He nipped at my ear. “Brace yourself on the wall. It’s gonna get a little rowdy in here.”

I’m not sure if I loved Beneath This Ink as much as I loved Beneath This Mask, but they were really close. I love a second chance romance, I love an alpha bad-boy with a heart of gold, and I love some mystery & intrigue. Add some totally sexy times, amazing narration and visits with previous characters and you have a recipe for success with me! Con treated Vanessa like a princess once they got together (maybe his dirty princess) even though he was her dirty secret at first. I jumped right into the third book, Beneath These Chains, as soon as I finished.

Audiobook Review – Beneath These Chains by Meghan March

“The moment my lips touched hers, I knew I’d made a huge fucking mistake, one taste would never be enough”

The Beneath Series is great for people who love alpha bad guys who take care of their women. Beneath These Chains, the third in the series, may be my favorite so far. I loved how the opposites attracted and there was very little relationship drama once they decided they were together, but the drama came from external forces. The mystery that played out from the beginning was a great part of the story, and there was a twist I never expected. Usually I don’t like stories with wealthy society girls that much, but I love how all of Meghan’s girls have been tough and down-to earth. Sebastian York with a slight NOLA accent, and Andi Arndt did an amazing job with the narration and I think they made it even better than if you just read it. I can’t wait to grab the next in the Beneath Series!

Book & Audiobook Review – The Sexy One by Lauren Blakely

Some women go for arms, some like humor, and some love a bad boy.
Me? I’m drawn to this amazing, gorgeous, handsome single father. I want to smother him in kisses and then jump his bones.
“You know it’s ridiculously hot how much you love your kid?”

Lauren Blakely is ruining me for other books. Thank goodness she doesn’t write even faster, because my best of 2016 list would be all Lauren Blakely books. I listened to an early copy of The Sexy One audiobook, and when I sat down to write my review today, I decided to buy the kindle copy and read it as well. I loved it just as much the second time! The only thing that kept The Sexy One from being 5+++++++ stars was the length. It fell somewhere between novella and full length novel, and I felt that we could have had a lot more from this couple and delved deeper.

The Sexy One is Lauren Blakey’s sweetest, most romantic books I have read from her, but it’s still totally sexy and swoonworthy. Mr. Ana had to keep asking me what I was smiling about because I listened to and read the book with a huge smile on my face the whole time. Books like The Sexy One is why I read. There is no way to read this and not feel all happy inside. Once again, another gem from Lauren Blakely.

Book Review – Muffin Top by Tabatha Kiss

Why didn’t you ever say anything to me?” 
“Why didn’t you ever say anything to me?” 
“Well…” I take a step back and gesture downward. “Look at me.” 
“I do look at you, Evey,” he says. “I don’t think you see yourself the same way I see you. You’re beautiful to me. You smile and my world stops. You walk in here and I can’t breathe.”

Perhaps if I wasn’t expecting so much from the huge amount of amazing reviews, I would have enjoyed Muffin Top more. It was honestly cute and fun, but it was also over-the-top silly at times. The action overshadowed a relationship that could have really been the star. The writing didn’t always flow very well and felt choppy at times, but it was still a quick, easy and fun read.

Book Review – Swear on This Life by Renee Carlino

“We weren’t together, but he was always there, like a part of my soul. I tried desperately to deny it and to forget, but no number of therapy sessions could take him out of me. We were a part of each other.”

Swear on This Life by Renee Carlino was a unique and unputdownable second chance romance. I absolutely loved everything about the past, but I did wish we got more of the present day couple, and was a bit disappointed with how many years they were apart. But still, Swear on This Life was one of the most captivating, emotional books I have read this year, and I totally understand what I had so many glowing recommendations!

Book Review – Preppy: The Life & Death of Samuel Clearwater, Part 1 by T.M. Frazier

“He was an addiction. I craved him, and wanted more. But just like heroin, the high was all a fucking lie. I believed he was good for me when in fact, he was worse than any drug.”

T.M. Frazier has the nickname “Evil Ginger” for a reason. She has no problem putting her characters in the worst situations, nor does she have a problem torturing her readers while they wait for the next book! Seriously, I knew there was a cliffy (which isn’t that bad), and I usually will avoid that like the plague, but this series makes me change my rules. It goes against everything I usually look for in a book, yet I love the dirty, grittiness of it because you can always see the heart behind it all. These people, as bad as they are in some ways, still have big hearts, at least for each other. They are family, even if not by blood. And basically, that’s kind of the crux of the series. I mean, only T.M. can make me fall in love with a pastel and bow tie wearing psychopath. I found Preppy part one to be the deepest, most emotional and most unique of the King Series, and it brought back to mind the slightly deeper The Dark Light of Day and Dark Needs (which you MUST read if you are reading the King Series.)

Just the last words! OMG T.M. Frazier! WRITE FASTER!

P.S. I will also be re-listening to this on audio before the next one comes out. The Preppy audiobook releases the same day as the book!

Book Review – Pull Me Close by Sidney Halston

“Life is just a series of curveballs thrown at you. Some knock you down. Some you hit over the fence, making you feel like a winner until the next one comes barreling by. It’s how you react to those that knock you down that define you.”

Pull Me Close was a completely unique story in every way. It is one of the best books I have read that dealt with anxiety and PTSD, and the only one where it was the female who had it. There is no question that the author has experienced this herself because the attacks were so vivid and realistic. While this is a very sexy romance, it is as much the story of Katherine’s healing as it is a romance. I loved how it wasn’t all tied up in a neat little bow at the end and how it wasn’t the man who saved her, but having a strong and understanding partner can go a long way towards helping heal along with therapy.

Audiobook Review – Inside Out: Behind Closed Doors by Lisa Renee Jones

“I must be dreaming. How else do I explain having a famous poker player who looks like a cover model in my house, pressed up against me, and accusing me of blackmail?”

Behind Closed Doors by Lisa Renee Jones was a super unique romantic suspense that happily stood alone. The first few chapters may seem familiar as they were on her website and the Storage Wars website a few years ago, but this is a fully fleshed out, full length sexy mystery that keeps you involved and on the edge of your seat the whole time. A storage unit, professional poker, sexy times, a little mob, and lots of excitement made this a great read, plus I loved the narration.

Book Review – The Huntress by Dawn Robertson and Kristen Hope Mazzola

“I don’t feel bad about being a hitwoman because I know each one of these people deserve everything they get; call me the Dexter of the high profile.”

I am finding it hard to rate part one of a 3-part story. I kind of feel like just as I was getting into The Huntress, it ended. I  really liked the development of Ellie, and the first half of The Huntress was really good. But the first person in Remy’s head changed the focus of the story a bit and I felt like the second half needed more development and a longer build-up. I feel like it may have been a little rushed to the climax. But given that there are two more books in the series, that may rectify, and I reserve the right to go back and change this rating to be higher if the new additions more fully develop the story. Dawn and Kristen know how to write a strong and sexy heroine, and I can’t wait to read more about Ellie in the next two installments.

Book Review – Jed Had To Die by Tara Sivec

“First it’s stealing wine coolers, then it’s selling your body for the marijuana or the amazing delta-8-THC products from Area 52, and next thing you know, you’re murdering someone in cold blood.”

Jed Had To Die is the perfect example of why Tara Sivec is my favorite romantic comedy author. She weaves zany, quirky characters into  fun and sexy storylines that you can’t help but want to be a part of. Tara has the unique ability to make you want to meet and hang with her characters, and the ones in Jed Had To Die are no exception. Her friendships are the kind I have with my friends. We’d do anything for each other, but we may call each other cunt nuggets while doing it. I loved how this was more than a romance, and the added element of a murder mystery made it an even more interesting read. It’s totally worth it to grab Jed Had To Die to experience the awesome combination of humor, sexiness, friendship, mystery, romance and small-town gossip that will have you laughing, crying a little, and wishing it wouldn’t end.

3. Never to Love by Aimie Grey

Bad boy meets bad girl…

Thomas Ramsay has three rules:
One night
No expectations
No bullshit

Julianne Griffith has three rules:
One night
No feelings
No beds

When a man who doesn’t believe in love collides with a woman who has no use for it, the resulting explosion is much more than they are prepared to handle.

Meeting your match doesn’t always lead to the kind of happy ending you expected, especially for those who have vowed never to love.

*****
WARNING: This book is dirty. Not a little dirty. VERY dirty. It’s so dirty, I can’t even think of dirty enough words to describe it. If you have a problem with a little bit of girl-on-girl action and/or pegging (don’t google that at work), you may need to skip a couple of chapters. Don’t worry – you’ll see it coming in plenty of time flip past. If you find excessive cursing offensive, you may want to skip this book altogether. Needless to say, this book is intended for mature audiences only.

HOWEVER, if you’re like me and enjoy reading about fun, sexually adventurous people and have an appreciation for foul language, you’re in the right place!

Oh, it’s also flirty, funny, and has a plot.

4. Bang Gang by Jade West

It’s one thing knowing your ex-boyfriend is a bit of a player, but it’s another thing altogether to find out he’s offering his services to anyone who’ll pay good money for them.

Not just himself, either. That would be far too regular for Darren Trent.

Darren Trent – my teenage sweetheart and father to my two young girls – is not just putting himself up for sale.. Oh no. Darren Trent offers his escort services alongside four of his mechanic friends – all of them at the same time.

Five hot, sweaty mechanics at your service.

They call themselves the Bang Gang… you can imagine.

In a village our size I should keep my head down and hope the scandal blows over before the girls or my poor old Nanna catch wind of it.

Only it’s not blowing over. Far from it. It seems every woman in the village wants themselves some mechanic action.

They make no qualms about it, either. Just rock on up to my café counter and ask how they can book themselves in for a Bang Gang special. Like I would know.

I definitely wouldn’t know. I hardly even know Darren Trent anymore. We split up a lifetime ago.

I definitely don’t think about him late at night. Don’t think about five mechanics and me as much as every other woman in this village.

And even if I did, I wouldn’t act on it. I wouldn’t draw the money from my savings account and have a go for myself.

And even if I did that, I definitely, definitely wouldn’t fall for him. Not again. Not after everything we went through. Not after splitting up the first time nearly brought me to my knees.

Not after settling into a decent routine, the girls and me, with no drama, no heartbreak, no crazy passions to rock the calm little boat we’re sailing on.

I mean, who would be stupid enough to risk all that over a hot, sweaty, oily bit of rough like Darren Trent?

5. BITING POINT (Sex on Wheels Book 1) by Azalea Amy Lezlynn

LEGEND. KING. LOVER. RACER.

Three-T rules the roads.

But this is no televised championship, with its own rules and regulations.

There are no pretty flags or set race tracks in these street races.

My lover races raw.

He races illegally.

He races like a God.

I began to believe such a man could never love a girl like me, but love me he does… all of me … and there are plenty of my fuller-plus-size figured curves to love.

Together we stand strong at the head of his exotic car racing empire, but there is darkness brewing.

As fate would have it, regrets collect like old friends ready to relive his most agonizing moments.
Dark secrets are awakened, whispering their threats of destruction.

Will they be enough to take us down?

The moment arises for him to decide whom is more important.
Me or his brotherhood of racing league members?

This is where our legacy with the world’s fastest cars begins.

Reed doesn’t want her. He says she doesn’t belong with the Royals.

7. The Sexy One by Lauren Blakely

A brand new standalone romance from NYT Bestselling author Lauren Blakely

Let me count the ways why falling into forbidden love is not my wisest move…
1. She works with me every single day.
Did I mention she’s gorgeous, sweet, kind and smart?
2. She works in my home.
Playing with my five-year-old daughter. Teaching my little girl. Cooking for my princess. Which means…
3. She’s the nanny.
And that makes her completely off-limits…But it doesn’t stop me from wanting her. All of her.
*****
The other nannies in this city don’t call him The Sexy One for nothing. My boss, the amazingly wonderful single father to the girl I take care of every day is ridiculously hot, like movie star levels with those arms, and those eyes, and that body. Not to mention, the way he dotes on his little girl melts me all over. But what really makes my knees weak are the times when his gaze lingers on me. In secret. When no one else is around.

I can’t risk my job for a chance at something more…can I? But I don’t know how to resist him much longer either…

With all the heat, heart and humor readers have come to expect, this newest Lauren Blakely standalone will make you laugh, swoon and feel like you’re falling in love!

8. Stroked by Meghan Quinn

Reese King: Olympic medalist, underwear model, Greek god.

His body is chiseled from rock, sculpted by the weight room, and refined by water.

On a daily basis his skin is completely bare for everyone to see, tan and defined, only covered up by a minuscule piece of spandex. There is no denying his sex appeal.

I hate to admit it, but I’m head over heels infatuated with him.

There is one HUGE problem though. His achingly gorgeous abs, inked up arm, and cocky swagger belong to my boss, the high-profile, reality star bitch from hell and certified heinous human being, Bellini Chambers.

What I think is going to be an easy job assisting a glorified wench turns into a cluster f*ck of epic proportions.

9. Badd Motherf*cker: Badd Brothers by Jasinda Wilder

Your wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of your life, right? That’s what they say, at least. I went into that day hoping I’d get the happiest day of my life. What I got? The worst. I mean, you really can’t get any worse of a day without someone actually dying.

So…I may have gotten just a little drunk, and maybe just a tad impetuous…

And landed myself in a dive bar somewhere in Alaska, alone, still in my wedding dress, half-wasted and heart-broken.

***

Eight brothers, one bar.

Sounds like the beginning to a bad joke, yeah?

I kinda think so.

Wanna hear another joke? A girl walks into a bar, soaking wet and wearing a wedding dress.

I knew I shouldn’t have touched her. She was hammered, for one thing, and heartbroken for another. I’ve chased enough tail to know better. That kinda thing only leads to clinginess, and a clingy female is the last thing on this earth I need.

I got a bar needs running, and only me to run it–at least until my seven wayward brothers decide to show their asses up…

Then this chick walks in, fine as hell, wearing a soaked wedding dress that leaves little enough to the imagination–and I’ve got a hell of an imagination.

I knew I shouldn’t have touched her. Not so much as a finger, not even innocently.

But I did.

10. Cinder & Ella by Kelly Oram

What would you do if your anonymous Internet best friend turned out to be Hollywood’s hottest celebrity?

Cinder458: Your blogaversary is coming up, right?
EllaTheRealHero: Do all those Hollywood friends of yours know you use words like blogaversary?
Cinder458: Of course not. I need your address. Got you a blogaversary present.

Cinder got me a gift?
My heart flipped.
Not that I was in love with my Internet best friend or anything. That would be utterly ridiculous. The boy was cocky and stubborn and argued with everything I said just to be infuriating. He also had lots of money, dated models—which meant he had to be hot—and was a closet book nerd.
Funny, rich, hot, confident, book lover. Definitely not my type. Nope. Not at all.

It’s been almost a year since eighteen-year-old Ella Rodriguez was in a car accident that left her crippled, scarred, and without a mother. After a very difficult recovery, she’s been uprooted across the country and forced into the custody of a father that abandoned her when she was a young child. If Ella wants to escape her father’s home and her awful new stepfamily, she must convince her doctors that she’s capable, both physically and emotionally, of living on her own. The problem is, she’s not ready yet. The only way she can think of to start healing is by reconnecting with the one person left in the world who’s ever meant anything to her—her anonymous Internet best friend, Cinder.

Hollywood sensation Brian Oliver has a reputation for being trouble. There’s major buzz around his performance in his upcoming film The Druid Prince, but his management team says he won’t make the transition from teen heartthrob to serious A-list actor unless he can prove he’s left his wild days behind and become a mature adult. In order to douse the flames on Brian’s bad-boy reputation, his management stages a fake engagement for him to his co-star Kaylee. Brian isn’t thrilled with the arrangement—or his fake fiancée—but decides he’ll suffer through it if it means he’ll get an Oscar nomination. Then a surprise email from an old Internet friend changes everything.

11. Stroked Long by Meghan Quinn

From his dirty-blond hair and breathtaking smile, to the abs from heaven and the irresistible V in his waistline, everything about Bodi Olympic-gold-medalist Banks screams hot piece of @$$.

Yet there’s more.

Dark shadows lurk behind his soulful, serious eyes.

I’m enamored. He’s captured me.

How can running an art foundation with Bodi Banks turns into a slow-burning, epic romance, even though he tries to push me away at every chance? How can I stay away from a broken, routine-driven man whose soul cries to be forgiven for a crime only he believes he committed? Or is that a lie?

12. Patchwhore by Kim Jones

I’M THAT GIRL…
The girl who thought she was living her happily ever after.
The one who fell for the lies.
A victim of infidelity.

After months of heartache and loss, anger ensued.
Rage replaced sadness. Fury took over heartache. Revenge became irresistible.
Now he’ll feel what I felt. One by one, his brothers will take his place in my bed.
They have a name for me in the MC world…

PATCHWHORE.

And this is my story.

If making her ex jealous is what she wants, Devil’s Renegades Prospect Cook is more than willing to oblige. He only has one rule: He doesn’t share.
She can seek her revenge. Follow through with her plan. But her body will be his. He’ll own her fantasies. And her pleasure. But in her eyes, he’s just a lowly PROSPECT—nothing more.
Little does she know, she’s about to be enlightened.

Note: This is a full-length standalone Devil’s Renegade Motorcycle Club novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

I’m stubborn, but what woman isn’t?
She’s hard work and I love the overtime.

He’s frustrating and unpredictable. I hope he never changes.
I love driving her crazy. That’s half the fun.

Honeybee’s pink nose.

He still looks at me like I’m precious and unflawed.
She treats me like I’m the center of her world.

Our future will be full of happiness.
Despite everything, we’re two of the lucky ones.

I took the bait.
She was a lucky catch.

He is the wind in my sail.
She’s the anchor that grounds me.

The wake our love made is beautiful.
Every day I thank God for her.

No matter the hurdles, we’ve jumped them side-by-side.
No matter the obstacles, we’ve made it through together.

For better or for worse, I’d do it again.
I’ll love and protect her all the days of my life.

We made it.
We always will.

Then there’s the other reason.
All the girls talk about it. I’m not sure how everyone knows he’s hung like a horse but they do.
I try not to think about it because he’s a popular football player who everybody knows and I’m just the work-focused history major who likes to stay mostly invisible at school. But when my professor pulls me aside and asks if I’d be willing to tutor a failing student, suddenly it’s impossible to ignore.
I’m going to be teaching Big D. If he doesn’t pass he’ll be off the team and they can’t win without him.
We’re going to be together night after night, well, the ones I’m not working. I have two big secrets you see. Huge enough that I know for sure that I’m not right for Big D, even though I wish I was.
In my fantasies I imagine finding out if he really does live up to his name, but when trouble heads in my direction again, Dominic Ramsey might be the only one that can keep me safe.

Big D is a standalone Sports Romance with a happy ever after. It also features HUGE – A Stepbrother Romance for your continued reading pleasure! Enjoy!

14. Stroked Hard by Meghan Quinn

He’s hot. Like, stop breathing kind of hot with his killer body, vivid blue eyes, and constant five o’clock shadow.

Did I mention his body?

Watching Hollis Knightly, Olympic diving gold medalist, man-pony specialist—and cocky bastard—stand up on the diving platform in nothing but a small piece of Spandex? Yeah, I’m beguiled.

And easily seduced.

I want to keep things light but he won’t leave me alone. And hell, if he’s not wearing me thin.

What is supposed to be a simple summer fling with a very hot man, has now morphed into a f*cked-up mess of feelings, attachment, and dare I say it…love. But I don’t do relationships. And Hollis Knightly does.

16. Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas

From New York Times Bestselling Author, Penelope Douglas, comes the latest New Adult romance…

“We were perfect together. Until we met.”

Misha

I can’t help but smile at the lyrics in her letter. She misses me.

In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed.

It didn’t take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever…

And that was the start. For the next seven years, it was us.

Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Sometimes there’s one a week or three in a day, but I need them. She’s the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

We only had three rules. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. We had a good thing going. Why ruin it?

Until I run across a photo of a girl online. Name’s Ryen, loves Gallo’s pizza, and worships her iPhone. What are the chances?

F*ck it. I need to meet her.

I just don’t expect to hate what I find.

Ryen

He hasn’t written in three months. Something’s wrong. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch.

Without him around, I’m going crazy. I need to know someone is listening. It’s my own fault. I should’ve gotten his phone number or picture or something.

He could be gone forever.

Or right under my nose, and I wouldn’t even know it.

Wingman rule number two: never reveal how much you want them.

Lex hates Gabi. Gabi hates Lex. But, hey, at least the hate is mutual, right? All Lex has to do is survive the next few weeks training Gabi in all the ways of Wingmen Inc. and then he can be done with her. But now that they have to work together, the sexual tension and fighting is off the charts. He isn’t sure if he wants to strangle her or throw her against the nearest sturdy table and have his way with her.

But Gabi has a secret, something she’s keeping from not just her best friend but her nemesis too. Lines are blurred as Lex becomes less the villain she’s always painted him to be…and starts turning into something more. Gabi has always hated the way she’s been just a little bit attracted to him—no computer-science major should have that nice of a body or look that good in glasses—but “Lex Luthor” is an evil womanizer. He’s dangerous. Gabi should stay far, far away.

Then again, she’s always wanted a little danger.

19. A Harmless Little Game (Harmless #1) by Meli Raine

Four years ago I lost my virginity on live, streaming television.

Too bad I wasn’t awake for it.

The video went viral. Of course it would. A Senator’s daughter on camera? Wouldn’t you click “share”? Besides, that’s what three of the four guys in the video did.

Share.

They shared me.

But that fourth guy? The nondescript one in the background in the upper left corner of the screen, just sitting on the couch? The only one who did nothing?

Not one single thing.

That was my boyfriend, Drew.

And that was the last time I saw him.

Until today, when my father—now on a path to the White House—hired him as head of security for my new team as I return home after four years of “recovering” in an undisclosed location that involved white lab coats, needles, pills and damage control.

You see, the other three guys never went to jail. Never had charges pressed.

Never faced consequences.

Until today.

Game on.
