#NewRelease #shifters – Rehabilitated by My Mate by Luna Wilder

Leave a comment

She’s a shifter who’s never shifted. He’s a shifter who just found his fated mate.

Russo
I’ve been all over the world looking for my fated mate with no luck.
I’ve given up now and resigned myself to a quiet life alone in Night Grove Falls.
Until one night, I find an injured woman in my backyard.
An injured woman who just so happens to be my mate.
It’s obvious that she’s been through something, and I know that I need to help her and keep her safe.
I’m just not sure how to go about doing that.

Ever
I’ve been locked away for so long that it’s strange being free.
Although I guess I’m not really free.
I’m scared to step outside, terrified that I’ll be found and dragged back home.
My savior, Russo, says that I can stay as long as I like.
He says that I’m already home, but I’m not sure how to trust his words.
How can I trust him when I can’t even trust myself?

#newrelease #Mc- April’s Fool by EC Land

Leave a comment

The only thing more dangerous than a Grave Prowler is a Grave Prowler on a mission…
Fool
From the moment I saw her, I knew. She’s not just another woman. She’s mine.
Pure and untouched, I can’t resist her soft smile, her huge heart, or her sharp mind.
But she’s also unaware of the darkness that lurks just out of sight until it’s knocking on her door.
Evil can steal her away from me, but the coward that takes her doesn’t know who he’s messing with.
I’d tear down the world for her.
I’d burn it all to the ground.
I’ll dance on his ashes the minute I get her back.
Because this isn’t just a rescue, it’s a promise that no one will ever dare to threaten what’s mine again.
The club has a saying ‘Eye for and Eye. Tooth for a tooth.’ and they’ll get what’s coming to them. No one touches what’s mine and gets away with it.

#WOTR27 #Military – Fighting for Family by Cassie Colton

Leave a comment

Derrick “Leo” Armstrong built Serenity Securities as a refuge—an unbreakable brotherhood forged from military scars and second chances. On Serenity Mountain, he finally found the life he’d always dreamed of: a home, a purpose, and Catherine, the woman he’d loved for a lifetime. With three children and another on the way, Leo believed his world was complete.

Then one mission shattered everything.

Left reeling by the devastating news of her husband’s death, Catherine must navigate grief while protecting the family Leo adored. As the men of Serenity Securities rally to bring their fallen brother home, the mountain community surrounds Catherine with the same fierce loyalty Leo once gave them. But when a final letter from Leo forces her to face an impossible truth, Catherine makes the heartbreaking choice to call off the search. Her children need closure. Life must move forward.

Leo’s team refuses to accept it.

Driven by loyalty, love, and the lessons Leo carved into their souls, the men of Serenity Securities push deeper into danger, determined to uncover the truth about their mission and bring their brother home. Their greatest mission isn’t one they were trained for. It’s one they learned from Leo himself:

Family is worth fighting for.

#releaseboost – Claimed by the Mountain Man by Shaw Hart

Leave a comment

I ran from one man trying to own me… straight into another who actually will.

Scout
I should have known something was up when my father started acting nice and caring towards me.
He’s never been the nurturing type. He’s never really paid me much attention at all, too busy hiding from loan sharks or drinking himself to sleep.
Still, when he starts to pay attention to me, I can’t deny that a part of me is hoping that our relationship might finally be improving.
Then he leads me into the chapel and informs me that I’m there to marry one of the loan sharks that he owes.
So, I do the only thing that I can.
I run.
When my car breaks down on the side of the road, I think that I’m screwed.
Then he shows up and I know that I am.

Carter
I’ve been enjoying the peace and quiet of my cabin when a car breaks down out front and out steps an angel.
An angel in a wedding dress.
I know right then and there that fate has brought me this girl, that she belongs to me.
I don’t know who was stupid enough to lose her, but I won’t be making that mistake.
This girl is mine.
She’s in my cabin, sleeping in my bed, wearing my clothes.
She thinks that she can’t leave because I need to fix her car. She’s about to learn that I’m never going to let her go.
I’ve found my dream girl.
Now all that’s left is for me to claim her.

#Dark #TW #DarkRomance #Revenge – Hunting Adeline, Cat and Mouse Duet Book 2 by HD Carlton

Leave a comment

Hunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse Duet, #2)

The final installment to the Cat and Mouse Duet…

The Diamond

Death walks alongside me,
But the reaper is no match for me.
I’m trapped in a world full of monsters dressed as men, and those who aren’t as they seem.
They won’t keep me forever.
I no longer recognize the person I’ve become,
And I’m fighting to find my way back to the beast who hunts me in the night.
They call me a diamond,
But they’ve only created an angel of death.

The Hunter

I was born a predator,
With ruthlessness ingrained in my bones.
When what’s mine is stolen from me in the night,
Like a diamond hidden within a fortress,
I find that I can no longer contain the beast.
Blood will paint the ground as I tear apart this world to find her.
And bring her back to where she belongs.
No one will escape my wrath,
Especially not those who have betrayed me.

Warning: This is the second and final installment to the Duet. You must read Haunting Adeline first.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchase this ebook and audio.

The first book and this book are 2 totally different realms of reading. If you saw my review for book 1 you will recall I said I didn’t think it as all THAT dark.  Well that is NOT the case for book 2.  Book 1 is a cupcake with a scoop of ice cream on a summers day in comparison to book 2.  It is a throat punch from beginning to end.  The anxiety I had for the beginning part of the book is not anything I expected to have/deal with.

Book 2 is split into 2 parts and I have to say….BRAVO,  I loved the way the book was written.  Because the book is in 2 parts my review will also be split in to 2 parts.

Part 1 is Not for the weak of heart.  It is not for someone who has any issues with triggers because this part of the story is a landmine of triggers. The rape, sexual assaults, abuse, etc are OFF The CHARTS!!  SO if you take this book on, know you will be uncomfortable and you will be horrified.  You will also be cheering as people are murdered and again, I questioned my mental health with this book.  The author did an amazing job making me feel broken and destroyed and THEN we enter part 2.

Part 2 is much “easier” but its still brutal.  We are seeing Adeline deal with the trauma she endured but we are also seeing Adeline grow.  She is not the same woman and I gotta say, she is an even better match for Zade now then before.  Adeline’s ARC over the 2 books was amazing.  She goes from a carefree woman to a woman on a mission of revenge.

Zade…omg can I say I fell even more in love with him.  He is not a good man.  He is the best Antihero I have ever read.  He is not the guy you should be rooting for and yet when he makes Adeline mac n cheese wearing an apron for dinner…..I was melting.  Yes melting!!!  Zade teaches his mouse a lot but vengeance and bloodletting are the biggest lessons along with loving your person with your entire being.

GAH this book ruined me in all the best ways possible.

Now I hear Sibbie is getting a book. SHUT UP and take my money!!  I need more of that crazy ass Bish and her henchmen…but who is Craven???

Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse Duet Book 1) by [H. D. Carlton]

The Manipulator

I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me.
I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh.
But my words don’t affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave.
He’s always there, watching and waiting.
And I can never look away.
Not when I want him to come closer.

The Shadow

I didn’t mean to fall in love.
But now that I have, I can’t stay away.
I’m mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves.
The way she undresses…
I’ll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine.
And once she is, I’ll never let her go.
Not even when she begs me to.

While not required, it is highly suggested to read the novella, Satan’s Affair, first.

This book was previously banned on Amazon due to the trigger warning. Please read reviews or go to the author’s website.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book and audiobook.

SO I have seen this book on Tiktoc and was like hrrmmmmmm.  I mean I like dark but dark scares me.  Anywho, I went to an author event, and she was there. Thankfully I had VIP so my wait was only 20 minutes.  I jumped up and bought the duet without really knowing what the book was about except the following: 1. Stalker 2. DubCon 3. Hella dark.  I pulled up my big girl panties and dove in.  Also because of the gigantic size of the book, I purchased the audio. LAWD Teddy’s voice was like butter.  *Fans self*  He totally brought Zade to life for my in the biggest way possible.  Since I am giving out compliments, I gotta say Michelle was perfectly vulnerable as Addie.  She was also very sassy bringing Addie to life as well.

So lets discuss all that is with this book. Remember I said it was dark.  Well I guess I expected it to be darker….now don’t go thinking this is hearts and flowers ya’ll because that it is not.  Its not ok in parts and there is absolute dark themes but with that said….I expected worse.  I am worrying about my mental health at this time.

Addie was just doing her life.  She was drinking with her bestie and signing books when Zade sees her AND decided she was his.  Zade did “everything he could” to let her go…by everything he obsessed over her and checked in to her life in every aspect before ….well going after his little mouse.

Their relationship is crazy.  She is being overwhelmed by him and the more and more they are together he is becoming overwhelmed by her and her acceptance of him.

The side plot of who killed Gigi, I was like meh when it was discussed but yet at the end I was like OH SNAP….I mean didn’t see it coming.

The cliffhanger at the end, I thought I had it figured out and much like the whole damn book with situations when I thought I knew what was up…I was damn wrong!!!!  I am absolutely obsessed and need the next audio like right effing now!! Zade and Addie….I need the final.  From what I understand its super gory and I am there for it.  I mean I cheered when a box of body parts shows up at Addie’s door.  LOL  Again, I question my mental health.

#Audio #DarkRomance #Horror – Where’s Molly by H.D. Carlton, narration by Michelle Sparks and Sebastian York

Leave a comment

A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet…

“Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know… Where’s Molly?”

In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods.

Life after death isn’t easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost.

Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors.

Horrors that I only unleash at night.

When my pigs are allowed to feast.

It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where’s Molly.

Important Note: This is a dark romance that contains dark subject matter. Please refer to the author’s website for content warnings

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this audio book.

I want to say Michelle and Sebastian did a great job of bringing the characters to life for me.  I enjoyed listening to the story through their interpretation.

Ok so this book I was interested in reading.  I mean we all read the Cat and Mouse Duet so of course we want to know WHAT HAPPENED TO MOLLY!!  I think I initially thought she died at the hands of the traffickers, so I was excited to read the story.

So the story, I think I expected more….like more violence?  Is that wrong?  Weird?  I dunno.  I know the author was in a bad spot mentally, so I understand why this wasn’t AS dark as Zade/Addie which I think people expected that level dark.  I mean it’s dark.  Molly is feeding pigs BODY PARTS but the gore/violence isn’t as bad???

I did like the story.  But that is it.  I liked it. Molly was interested and Cage was a nice antihero.  But I found myself putting the book down several times.  Its not that I didn’t like it but it was missing that “GAH I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!” factor??  I wanted more of the past for Molly but at the same time I guess we kinda know what happened to Molly at the hands of the bad peps.

Anyway, I did like to and thought the narration was great.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I was given this book for an honest review by the author.

Who loves the Nicki Sosebee series??  THIS GIRL!!  So if you know the series then this little back story is the icing on the cake for the Nicki/Sean love story.

The whole series is in Nicki’s head so to finally SEE what San thought about our girl from way back when…plus to see the beginning of all the relationships blooming made me so excited.  If you haven’t read the story you wont get as much excitement or love from it as I did SO I suggest you grab book 1 and jump in getting to know the gang!!!

1. Dream 2. Play some music 3. Write 4. Blow readers away 5. Repeat

#NewSeries #romanticComedy – Loving Words, You’ve Been Gnomed book 1 by AJ Renee and Miranda Lynn

Leave a comment

 

A meddling gran, a protective brother, and a mysterious gnome in the Georgia mountains…

What could possibly go wrong?

Spending Christmas in the mountains with her family is exactly what Kennedy needs. Work has been stagnant, and Norina has always felt like home. But when her parents bail and her brother’s smoking-hot best friend shows up instead, her underwear goes up in flames.

For Jack, a quiet holiday retreat with his best friend’s family is just what his agent ordered, and the small-town, picturesque setting is instantly inspiring. Falling hard for his friend’s sister, however, wasn’t in his latest outline.

Their chemistry is undeniable.

Their timing couldn’t be worse.

As real life waits below the mountain, Kennedy and Jack must make a choice.

Cut their holiday romance short, or let it blossom into an unforgettable love story.

I received this book from the authors for an honest review.

I am a huge fan of both these authors so when they were talking about this series I was all in.  Both have great humor and write paranormal so I knew this would be for me.   I mean Gnomes appearing in a story…its gotta be amazing!

The book took a great change of pace when our love interest, Jack, was a romance writer.  I loved that he was defending what he writes and had crazy granny on his side to Kennedy.  (Crazy Granny made the book to be honest.  I mean she is what I hope to be when I am older.)

Kennedy and Jack definitely had a good chemistry.  They had some hilarious banter especially with Kennedy’s brother in regards to Jack.  I really enjoyed the start of the series but admit I was a little let down that the Gnomes were only in a smidgen of the book.  I really expected them in more.  However maybe they will appear in more with the other books in the series.

AJ Renee is a military wife and mother of three. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with her Master of Science in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.

She loves to read and write steamy romance with a happily ever after. When not working, you can find her playing World of Warcraft, board games, or outdoors for a run or hike.

 

Escaping reality one book at a time has been Miranda’s motto since she learned to read. As an only child raised on a dairy farm her creative imagination brought words to life. She devoured more books growing up than her little town bookmobile could handle. It was inevitable that she would turn from reading them to writing them. This is her way to help not only herself but others escape the day to day drudge. Her books may take you on a journey through time, give you a look inside a fantasy realm, or delve into the magic of almost anything paranormal. Threading in heart stopping romance and dropping an occasional super sexy scene just to keep you on your toes.

Miranda’s stories are focused around strong female leads and sexy males who appreciate them. She strives to encourage her readers that they can have it all in real life too.

You can find her most days either subbing at the local high school or tucked away in her office working on the next story with a cup of java in her hand. She loves connecting with her readers online as well as in real life so make sure to find her on Facebook and check out where she will be signing throughout the year on her website.

The stranger at the gate has supplies that will ensure the group’s ongoing survival but at a cost. He wants a woman.

Nick is a man with a plan. He’ll treat Roslyn like a Queen, devoting the rest of his life to protecting and providing for her. In exchange, of course, for sexual favors. It’s the deal of the century given the state of the world. But Roslyn doesn’t see it that way. The first chance she gets she attacks the ex-army man and attempts to escape, forcing Nick to contain her. And so begins his awkward courtship of the woman, with her chained to the bed for security reasons.

Chained like a dog and forced to spend her every waking moment with a creep, albeit a good-looking one, Ros is determined to escape. When circumstances force them to band together against a common enemy their very survival depends on their ability to learn to trust each other. An uneasy partnership develops, but can a relationship with such a difficult beginning ever have a future?

Review by Twinsie Angie

I received this book ARC from the author for a truthful review of the book.

OK sooooooo I love Kylie and her novels. I mean Zombies running around trying to eat you and people are falling in love…..perfection!!! Her books are a total episode of The Walking Dead but well…. really naughty!! 🙂 For those of you that don’t know, Kylie soooo graciously let us raffle off her first book Flesh when our blog first opened in October. So she has been with us since the very beginning and watched us grow. We LOVE you for helping us as much as we have helped you!!! MUAH!!!

Ok so this novel….Oh brother Nick…..well IF you read Flesh (If not ya better cuz its a hawt M/F/M story plus scary zombies are everywhere.) you will remember Nick was cast out of the safe community because they deemed him untrustworthy. So he has been alone, hopeless and basically spying on the pockets of people he has found. WELLLLL he sees Ros and BOOM goes the fly of his pants…..Yup thinking with the lower extremities…..SOOOO our hero decides to BUY her from her “friends”…sigh….really Nick? I mean Flowers and a can of Spam since they are starving might have been a better approach but……Well their “relationship” isn’t so happy. WHAT you are shocked? I mean being chained to the bed with a gag ball doesn’t help you form trust you say?? Well needless to say a bond does form along with some very hot sparks. Holy hell their first “joining” shall I say…what girl wouldn’t want it THAT way *gulps ice cold water* cuz I sure wouldn’t complain. Well Ros freaks and escapes because well…she is a typical hot mess of a women. Confused over why in the heck she did that with a man who BOUGHT her and held her as a hostage. (SMH! Dude he is hot and who wouldn’t have given in at some point?? Must be the dang Stockholm Syndrome she was talking about.) Anywho, when Ros realizes she wants to be with Nick all hell breaks out. She gets chased by a herd of zombies and our hero is there in a flash but their little safe haven is now gone. So out on the run they go into the world to try and find someplace to survive.

Well at this point in the novel is when all shit really starts to happen. Nick and Ros run into some Super Big Douche Bags and things happen……Then they run to the safe community Blackstone where If you remember Nick is kinda hated. So when they find out that Ros was “purchased” he wasn’t very well received AGAIN!! The last pat of the book was action packed no doubt. There was a point when I was reading I yelled “NOOOOO” and was soooo saddened. ….haha you sooo now I am gonna leave you hanging right??!!! Anyway, I loved seeing Allie, Finn and Dan from Book 1. They are working well together and help Nick and Ros. I am excited for where book 3 will go and I have zero clue who the hero will be. I THINK I have a clue about the female but EH who knows!!! All I can say is that this book is amazing and maybe even better then the 1st if possible!!!
