Bombshells #2
Sweet Ass
Gracie has had a rough life, bouncing from foster home to foster home after her mother died. As far as she knows, her only family, are the ladies at Bombshells.
Until now, school and career were her only focus. Boys and romance were mere distractions, and between classes, an internship, and two part-time jobs, who has time for that anyway? Zeke, however, is no boy, but is he a man she can deny?
Zeke has spent the last eight years working to make his tattoo shop successful, renovating his house, and trying to keep himself out of trouble. Having Gracie, literally stumble into his life, has him questioning his sanity. Is she too innocent for him and will he ever get used to her Sweet Ass in those short shorts?

I was hooked on this one. Gracie is a nice girl. She grew up in the foster system but has a good head on her shoulders. Zeke is a sexy tattoo artist that oozes the bad bad image. He's really a nice decent guy. She has some laugh-out-loud funny but embarrassing and awkward exchanges with Zeke and by the beginning of Chapter 4, I was waiting and hoping to get Zeke's POV. We finally get Zeke's POV in Chapter six. I loved getting both their POVs. Gracie is hesitant to start anything with Zeke but once she does she fall for him fast. I liked their story and I'm hooked on the series to find out what happens to the side characters.

Gracie is super sweet and has had a long hard road in Foster care. Zeke is HOT HOT HOT. His life hasn’t been easy either. He has a reputation as a bad guy to overcome and has fallen for the naive good girl. How can he win her heart?
The characters are easy to relate to and face problems like the rest of us. There are no far fetched issues nor unrealistic situations. These are everyday people with everyday problems. This makes the story much more relatable to the reader. I like reading about characters who could easily be my friends or family in real life.

I loved Bad Ass, @authorcarlar debut novel, the first in the Bombshell series. It ended with a cliffhanger for one of the secondary characters and I mentioned on my review of Bad Ass that I had a pit in my stomach over what was gonna happen. And I was right

This series just keeps getting better!!!
Holy fuckballs y’all! This one starts out with alllllllll the emotions and feels! Have your tissues ready because there are a ton of emotional moments! But also have your change of panties ready because there’s PLENTY of steam and sexiness!
Gracie is a girl after my own heart. I’m a social worker and behavior specialist. I remember hustling hard during my classes and internships, working 3 jobs and going to school full time while planning a wedding. Life was CRAZY but it was awesome! I was also a caseworker for the state so her story as a foster child and wanting to be a caseworker touched my heart.
I honestly identified with Gracie in A LOT of ways! Social worker, virgin until 21, former server, tiny, sweet but sassy. Gracie reminds me of me and I LOVE when I can see myself or my life in a book. It makes that connection soooo much better!
Zeke is a hot AF, muscled, tattooed, alpha male who doesn’t know that his Gracie Girl may be sweet and may have a Sweet Ass but she’s a sassy little firecracker! I love how Gracie comes into herself in this book and part of that I think has to do with Zeke.
There’s soooo much to love about this book! The characters, the relationship between Zeke and Gracie, Gracie’s relationship with her Bombshells, and new relationships! Oh and of course the sex! Zeke is a filthy motherfucker and I loooove it! Dirty talk? Yes please!
You will love this book! It does end on a cliffhanger but don’t worry it’s setting up for another story and not leaving things left unsaid between Grace and Zeke.

I loved the first book and when it ended, I was stuck dying to know what would happen next and this story lets us in on how things work out butt it also introduces us to the next couple, Zeke and Gracie. Gracie is a young friend to Molly who owns the salon Bombshells, she works hard at two jobs, goes to school to pursue her dream job, and has little time for anything else. She had a rough life growing up in foster care so she works hard to make sure she can help others, so a love life was not anything she was looking for until fate steps in. Zeke is a tattoo artist who learned his lessons early in life and works hard to keep his shop, brothers, and family happy but when he sets eyes on Gracie, he knows she is his future. Gracie is hesitant to start anything with Zeke afraid for many reasons, but his persistence is hard to deny. Can Zeke break down her barriers and show her real love and family or will she hide and continue her path? This books was so fun to read and Gracie was so sweet, a tad innocent, but perfection Zeke is the best book boyfriend, he’s protective, kind, loving, and patient. Together they are the best and the different twists the story had made cry sometimes, laugh a lot, and fall in love. I can’t wait for more from these amazing characters!!!

This is a story about Gracie who has a goal in mind, work and finish college. She has no time for nothing else, until fate steps in and gives her something to live for. Gracie literally falls on her butt in front of the hottest guy she's ever seen.
Zeke know what he wants and he wants Gracie. Zeke shows Gracie that there is more to life, he shows her his family and that is such a crucial part in their dynamic as a couple.
When reading make sure you have a tall iced drink next to you, you'll need it. This is a steamy read and your feelers will be overwhelmed.
I cant wait to see what happens in the next book....cliff hanger!

This story.......
It starts from the ending of Badass ( highly recommend you read it first) and it had me tearing up 🥲
Grace is such a sweet character.
Zeke is much older and more experience, but from the first time he saw Grace (they briefly met on Badass) he wanted her.
Their journey to their HEA is sweet.
You not only fall for Zeke and Grace but also for the secondary characters. We continue to see Molly and Brenden (Badass). And our heartache for Jared and Sammy continues 😭😭 Not only that, but OMG!!! 😳
The ending...... Alexa..... Rhys...... !!!!!!
Can’t wait for what comes next.
Is it to much to ask for stories for Kyle, Mase, Eli, Kane, and Addie? 🤣🤣

Innocent Gracie trying to avoid all relationship type situations until she finishes her Masters degree just can’t stay away from Zeke- the guy who’s face she laughed in when he tried to take her home on her 21st birthday. He quickly realizes she’s something to hold onto and he’s gotta put some good boy practices in place of his bad boy persona to win her over. So sweet and sexy and loveee all the secondary characters. Can not wait for book 3- Carla is known for her cliffhangers so we get quite the setup for our next bombshells girl😈

Carla R did it again. Sweet Ass picks up right where Badd Ass left off and it did not disappoint. Part of the name Bombshells has to be because there is always an explosion at the end of the book that leaves you wanting more, but once again beautiful love story. Zeke and Gracie is giving Brenden and Molly a run for their money in which romance story line is better, but the easiness to the writing is so relatable you would forget your reading a book.

Gracie and Zeke are so hot!!! I love the way both characters evolve through the story. Gracie’s sweet innocent beginning turn into a steamy, bold, and even more determined woman whereas Zeke, he is big, bold, and beautiful with the heart of patient man, supportive, and maybe a little protective. I really enjoyed meeting several new characters and learning more about the fun friendships from the girls in Badass! I can not wait for book three!!

Absolutely Adorable!
I loved this book as much as the last! Not only are Gracie and Zeke an adorable couple, but the changes that happen in Gracie's life after dating Zeke just make your heart swell!
Of course, we can't be let off easy though. This author still manages to put plenty of twists and turns in there, small drama and a cliffy at the end to make you scream "What!?" at your tablet. I am most definitely looking forward to book 3!

Loved it
Yet again, I loved this story. It was brilliant seeing the meek and mild girl become a confident and sassy girl. There's nothing you can't love about Zeke, ultimate bad boy turned angel, lol.

I absolutely loved the first book when it was released and when it ended on the cliffhanger, well I honestly did not know what to do with myself. This book was 100000% worth the wait. It was everything I needed and more.
Book 2 is focused on sweet innocent Gracie and total hottie tattoo artist Zeke. The way that the story transformed and you see Gracie comimg out of her shell of innocence and Zeke being the strong, kind and protective boyfriend that he is (totally my new book boyfriend) was perfect.
The storyline and plot was incredible. The characters; both main and secondary, love love love! The journey that the characters and story takes you, well I wish they could take me with them (permanently).
I loved this book. I laughed, I cried (if you have read the first book you may understand why - I'm still crying) and boy, how it made me smile . I didn't want it to end.
That ending though too, wow!! I am already dying to get my hands on book 3. I need to know what happens.

This is the second book in tis series. It was great to see the other ladies from Bombshells featured in this book as well. While, I did really enjoy the first book, I have to say that this one is my favorite. There was a lot more witty humor that found its way into the story. Also, I like that Gracie seemed to be more spunky and could hold her own with Zeke.
Gracie showed Zeke that the good girl does win and get her man in the end. Zeke may have been a bad boy and still has a touch of a bad boy side but he truly has a heart of gold under the tough exterior. The fact that he and his mom are close and share books between them melted my heart. I was fan girling over him.
I do want to briefly mention Gracie's friend, Alexa and Zeke's one brother, Rhys. This is because there were the other couple that I was rooting for. After the cliffhanger of in this book, I can't wait to read book three and Alexa and Rhys's story. Sweet Ass is a yummy read that romance readers don't want to miss!

Great read
I would have given this five stars like I did the first one because the storyline was fantastic but the book just had way too many grammatical errors for me to overlook. I am loving these books a lot and I'm on my way to read the next one...

Prefection
I loved this book. The perfect age gap read between a hot tattooed guy and a sweet innocent girl. Gracie was so focused on her life she didn’t take the time to think about men. Zeke took one look at her and that was it for him. The romance between these two drags you in, has you swooning, and makes you feel like you are a part of their lives. It’s nice to have a series that also invest readers in all the main characters lives. I feel like I know them all well. Looking forward to the next book.
