June creates magic with this book! The continuation of this series is perfection. These characters dig into you and wind their way into your mind and soul. I’m speechless with how amazing the world created and the story were given. I absolutely cannot wait for the next and final book!!! These books are at the top of my best of the year list! You must read!!!
Oh. My. Word. This book is even more emotionally turbulent than Sunshine and Bullets.
Summer and Smoke is the highly anticipated sequel to Sunshine and Bullets. Featuring a story with a central female lead, Sunshine, with her four men, the Bullets, in the style of reverse harem. There is blood, happiness, romance, steam, and anger in this book. It is not for the light hearted, but is a seriously addictive read for those who like to dabble in the dark contemporary world.
We have extremely high highs, and extremely low lows. We have the push and pull between Sunshine and her Bullets (yes, all four of them). We have flashbacks of moments in the perspective of the Bullets to a pivotal moment in their lives involving Sunshine. We have an extremely intense ending that really leaves you wondering just what is to come (and I will admit, I had tears in my eyes even though I don’t normally cry with books). I cannot wait to read what comes next in The Bullets Trilogy.

Holy wow. I just finished reading this and I’m speechless. CoraLee June, I am in love with these characters and this dark and twisted romance they are walking through. The roller coaster ride this series is taking me on is perfect and has me hooked and giving me all the feels. These characters are amazing and so real, gritty, and relatable. Sunshine is utterly fantastic and her growth throughout this series so far is something else.
CJ is as always amazingly talented but she has a knack for writing the sexy steamy scenes and navigating the bondage, BDSM, voyeurism and more with such easy. CJ is one of the very few writers that can write her chapters in these situations and relationships in such a way that even someone that isn’t into the lifestyle or scene can understand. Gavriel does things or makes decisions for them all that he isn’t always comfortable with because it’s what’s best for Sunshine. Just like Nix does in his own way. In this book Nix gets to take charge a little, and as he helps Ryker and Sunshine explore their inner voyeur, the explanation, thoughts and feelings involved in the process make sense and help give understanding the acts.
Anyway, my thoughts and feelings on this book and series are that it’s freakin awesome. Everything, from the characters to the storyline, the heat level, the intensity, and action, to the danger and the growth in the characters and their relationships. It’s extremely well written, sucks you in and keeps you there from the very start and the end is a sucker punch to the gut and then turns around and shocks the hell outta you. I HIGHLY recommend this series and very much look forward to reading what CJ has in store next!
