synopsis

We all have one.
A price.
That magic number that will get us to agree to do anything, be anything.
Don’t sit on your gold-plated high horse and say you don’t because you do. Everyone does. Each of us has something we covet enough that we’d sell ourselves to have it.
What’s my tipping point, you ask? Apparently a cool quarter mil will do the trick.
What does one do for 250 large, you wonder? Anything the infamous, gorgeous playboy of Seattle wants. For the next four months I’ll be Shaw Mercer’s arm candy, his beck and call girl, his faux girlfriend. I’ll be his to command, mold, push and pull in any direction he sees fit.
I’ll fight falling into bed with him. I’ll fight falling in love with him even harder. I’ll fail at both. And when my past and present collide in the most unexpected of ways, I’ll learn that while one man’s love for me has never died, the only man’s love I really want will never be mine.

about the author

I’m just a regular ol’ Midwest girl who likes Game of Thrones and am obsessed with Modern Family and The Goldbergs. I run, I eat, I run, I eat. It’s a vicous cycle. I love carbs, but there’s love-hate relationship with my ass and thighs. Mostly hate. I like a good cocktail (oh hell…who am I kidding? I love any cocktail). I’m a huge creature of habit, but I’ll tell you I’m flexible. I read every single day and if I don’t get a chance…watch the hell out, I’m a raving bitch. My iPad and me: BFFs. I’m direct and I make no apologies for it. I swear too much. I love alternative music and in my next life I want to be a bad-ass female rocker. I hate, hate, hate spiders, telemarketers, liver, acne, winter and loose hairs that fall down my shirt (don’t ask, it’s a thing).

Mack by Miranda Lynn

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

Shifter? CHECK

New to me Author? CHECK

Needing to read more of this series?  CHECK…DOUBLE CHECK EVEN

Ok so there is no need to try and deny it.  I am a shifter girl.  I love paranormal and vampires are awesome but shifters….uhm…yeah…HAWT!!

So our girl Casey has had a hard life.  She has bounced around and never had a home.  She has one true friend, Jake, who cares for her now that she has aged outta the foster system.  One night when Casey is going to visit him for some much-needed food, she gets a whiff of some strange men.   Two of them scare her but one…well yeah…her gets her a little warm and fuzzy.

As Casey is dealing with some news about Mr. Tall Dark and Uberly Handsome, she is thrust into a crazy reality.  She finds out that what she knows isn’t the truth and the truth is off the charts crazy!!  Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome, Mack, is the Alpha’s son and he gets her girlie parts a tingling!!!

As her reality is starting to sink in, even more shifter reality is thrust in to her.  She must pick a mate or her father who is not a nice man at all will come claim him for his pack.  Good thing those girlie parts were already tingling and her shifter cat already claimed Mack as her mate.

The story line was different in what happens during the great war.  The idea of co-mingling shifter species was also awesome.  I haven’t read books with different shifters all living under one alpha before so I enjoyed a new spin on my favorite genre.

THE ROBBER BRIDE by Jerrica Knight-Catania

TO WALK IN THE SUN by Jane Charles
Hiding from a dangerous man, Tess Crawford thought The Wiggons’ School for Elegant Young Ladies would be the perfect place to disappear…except she didn’t anticipate being drawn to the reclusive Viscount Atwood, who has many secrets of his own.

Christina’s Review

I bought this book with my own hard earned cash because I met this author and didnt know she was a writer….LOL I knew she read for an author friend but didnt know she was until one day it “clicked” in my head. Then I was like DUH ANGIE!! So since I was going to be meeting her in Vegas, I bought a book to read.

Now I like Historical books but they are not for everyone. Now most historical that I have read have some naughty sex in it…nope not a drop of naughty here til like 97% so if you want smutty then this is not for you. HOWEVER, this book is good with chemistry. I was forever screaming at Brock and Viola to “just get with it and kiss already!!” I mean the two are sooo perfect for each other but are to busy gettin’ in their own dang way!!

Brock returns from the military to all his family members being gone. He is the only member remaining. His goals are to ruin the woman who ruined his family, get a wife and have kids……simple right!!?? LOL

Viola ran far far far away from high society after she was involved in the death of two young socialites. She has been in hiding and trying to make amends for what she did. She wants to just breed horses and live a quiet life. A husband and family are not in her future because she doesn’t deserve them.

Well as you know, your two enemies meet. The chemistry is CRAZY good. The first kiss was great even though we know Brock is gonna flip his lid when he finds out he is lusting over the enemy. The woman he is sworn to DESTROY!! Ok a bit over the top there Brock but he is a man on a mission.

So this story starts to unravel. There is alot of deceit and betrayal happening behind Viola’s back. She thinks it is Brock and when they have a showdown…WOW!! She kicked his butt *High 5 Viola*. But when we see Brock realizing Viola is a changed woman…swoon……

I cannot wait for book 2. I want to know all about Viola’s bestie Ruby. She has some skeletons in her closet that is prolly gonna be getting aired out VERY VERY soon!!

Amanda’ Review
I rated this a 3.75 but rounded up. I loved the story but felt it was a little rushed in parts and would have loved it to be a little more flushed out!

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

I am a fan of hsitorical. I love getting lost in the Regacy of them. I love the corsets and dresses, balls, schemes and all that jazz. When I was asked to read this short 140 page novel, i jumped. To read of a girl scheming to get a husband so she can keep her title and stay in England vs go live in America with her distant Uncle made me giddy.

This book is about Amelia who is left without her parents. Both have died by the time she is 19. She cannot stay in England alone or that would be a SCANDAL so she must go to America. Well her and her bestie Sarah manage to get Lady Grace to chaperone Amelia until she can get a husband. She is going to force a SCANDAL on a Lord she has chosen to marry. Well as her and her friends are planning, in walks the Lady Grace’s nephew. He is a HOTTIE but , darn, from Scotland. Tooo bad right? Uhm welllllllll, he might have heard the ladies scheming and has decided that Amelia might be the one for him????

I had a few giggles at Lord Goldstones attempt to ruin Amelias plans to trap a husband. I loved it. He is sooo funny and arrogant. Plus when he admits to ruining her plans, it infuriates her beyond imagine.

The two end up having to travel together and that is when things REALLY heat up. Amelia has fought her attraction to Richard. However she realizes she might LOVE and sets out to snare him as her husband!!!

Melinda's Review

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

I enjoy Bella Jewel’s writing style and way of telling a story. This one is about Molly and Roman both are on the rebound from a bad breakup. Can these two pull each other up and put the pieces of their heart back together or will their ex’s drag them apart and crush their hearts.

Molly’s boyfriend just broke up with her and she is heartbroken. She doesn’t know why and isn’t ready to let go. That is until she meets Roman. They strike up a friendship and realize they have so much in common. Roman shows Molly how she should be treated gives her and gives her the strength to walk away from her ex. However, walking away makes her ex realize he lost a good thing.

Roman is in love with his ex that treats him awful and keeps stringing him along. Molly tries to get him to see what she is doing to him but he still wears those rose colored glasses and wants his ex back.  It breaks Molly’s heart to watch Roman struggle with wanting to go back to his ex knowing that is not the best thing for either of them.

I absolutely loved the banter between Molly and Roman and watching their friendship grow. Molly’s sister was great at giving her advice. I did want to shake both Molly and Roman at times. Seeing them struggle with their ex’s was tough. Watching the dynamics between all the characters was wonderful. I even enjoyed watching all the different advice everyone had for Jack while he chased a girl. I’m already excited to read Jack’s story.  I have a feeling it is going to be a good one.

Heartbeats by Sarah O’Rourke

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

AHHHH  This book!!!  I Loved Loved Loved it.  Matt was so alpha but knew when he and to tuck that guy away before his mom or love would kick his butt!!  Bren was riot to read about.  Her undercover work was great and showed her true nature to care for someone and want the best for them even if they had no clue what was going on.

So Matt and Bren has some chemistry but Matt kept hiding because of the news his doctor gave him.  Instead of going after what he wants, he hides.  When a brief and chance encounter with Bren at the family’s favorite restaurant forces Matt, Bren and Momma to have lunch together…well match maker momma makes sure that the two see what they could have.

I enjoyed the stubborn of both characters but how when they loved, how they loved passionately.  I abso love the way these authors make family a big very important theme in their novels.  The family members may be side characters but they are definitely there for a reason.

I could so read another book for Matt and Bren because the news that was delivered at the end of the book would be some fun reading!!!

Sexy computer hacker, Mia, struggles to break free of her ruthless father’s Mafia ties…but she can’t resist the powerful and seductive Nico, who will stop at nothing to possess her.

I receive this book from the publisher for an honest review.

Nico, you naughty bad boy you!!  What girl can’t help but fall in love with you???  He is a bad guy…hello mafia guy…but he wants to be on the straight and narrow.  He doesn’t want the bad but only the clean living.  He is set on revenge and will do nothing to get what he wants.

Mia has a not so great dad…..mob dad at that I might add.  She will not stay and be a part of the “family” live.  She will be a woman who will and can stand on her own feet.  She will not be held back or down anymore.   Mia is happy living her life as super hacker when life deals her a crazy hand.

Nico and Mia should never meet let alone be attracted to each other.  She is the daughter of his sworn enemy and he represents everything she hates in her family and her past.   They shouldn’t want each other as all but they cant stop.  Nico wants to claim his family rights and by staying away from Mia and marrying another woman he can have all that is his but can he?  Can he give up everything he has ever wanted…revenge for his father and his father’s family for Mia?

ONCE UPON A TIME…

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Regnery started her writing career by enrolling in a short story class in January 2012. One year later, she signed her first contract and Katy’s first novel was published in September 2013.

Twenty-five books later, Katy claims authorship of the multi-titled, New York Times and USA Today Blueberry Lane Series, which follows the English, Winslow, Rousseau, Story, and Ambler families of Philadelphia; the six-book, bestselling ~a modern fairytale~ series; and several other standalone novels and novellas.

Katy’s first modern fairytale romance, The Vixen and the Vet, was nominated for a RITA® in 2015 and won the 2015 Kindle Book Award for romance. Katy’s boxed set, The English Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1–4, hit the USA Today bestseller list in 2015, and her Christmas story, Marrying Mr. English, appeared on the list a week later.

Katy lives in the relative wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut, where her writing room looks out at the woods, and her husband, two young children, two dogs, and one Blue Tonkinese kitten create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories begin at home.

#ReleaseDay #Review – Tormented (Fallen Aces Book #3) by Max Henry

Title: Tormented
Series: Fallen Aces MC #3
Author: Max Henry
Genre:  MC Romance
Release Date: December 12, 2016

She’s perfect.


And broken, like you … 
Unaware of how beautiful she is.

And how much worse her life could be … 
She’s cast out for being different, misunderstood, or simply too complicated to bother with.

Just. Like. You … 
She’s still perfect.

Because after all, you can’t break what’s already broken, and you can’t hurt what already suffers.

Or can you …?

“He sent you, then? Interesting.” The low resonance of his words ends on a lion’s purr.
I tip my head back to look into his bruised face—evidence he’s still working, still collecting for the reaper—as he blocks out the sun with his size. He’s over six-foot of bulk, which means my five-foot three petite stature fits snugly into his shadow. 
And as much as I’ve tried to tell myself my memory is a goddamn liar, it still comforts me.
“Apparently I fly below the radar.”
His eyes roam lazily over me, settling on the full sleeve I had tattooed a few weeks back. My breath hitches, betraying the fucking confidence I was trying for, as he reaches out and hooks a thick finger in the leg of my cut-offs. Breathe through it. Breathe. You’ve got through it without giving in before, you can do it again.
“Still getting’ around with your ass hangin’ out, Abbey-girl?”
“Did you think I only did it for you?” I mock.
“How long has it been, anyway?”
I chuckle, shifting my gaze back to his disturbingly beautiful face. He expects me to know how many weeks he’s been in Cali and blurt it out, giving away the fact I’m still painfully aware of him. Yeah, I know how long it’s been, but I ain’t playing that game … yet.
“No idea,” I answer, dealing the nonchalant card as I shrug my shoulders. “Time flies when you’re having fun.”
His eyes darken as he reaches out and places both his meaty paws on my ass cheeks. I force a smile as his fingers skim the hem of my cut-offs where it slices a line over the firm globes. I close my eyes briefly as memories of how good it felt last time his hands were on me come in thick and fast. His touch trails up my back, dipping in at my waist, and pushing the hem of my tank up, exposing my flat stomach as he brings his palms to rest below the swell of my breasts. 
Just a few more minutes and he’ll be done. You can do it.
My fight or flight is going haywire. I need to get away, to place distance between us, but at the same time I’m disgusted on the most part by how easy it seems to keep my feet in place. Anyone else, and they’d be cradling a broken wrist for this, my go-to defense when unwanted hands get too close. But this isn’t just anyone—it’s Sawyer, and it seems that my body still doesn’t know how to lie.
I want it.
But I shouldn’t.
He still wants me.
And I should hate that.
But I’m waiting to see what he does next.
Too much at once, Abbey.
“Still tellin’ the truth, I see,” he teases, swiping his thumbs over my pert nipples before he lets go and steps back.
The sun lances across my face, forcing me to look down to save my eyes watering up. “You want to know why he sent me yet?” I draw a deep, equalizing breath.
“Because you begged him to come?” God, he’s always been such an arrogant bastard.
“Hardly.”
He juts his chin forward, and his tongue peeks out, running along the ridge of his teeth. “What then?”
“War is on, Pretty Boy.” I smile. “It’s time to take daddy down.”
Melinda's Review
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
This is about two tormented souls. Sawyer is trying to deal with the loss of the one true woman that could chase his devil away.  He is out for revenge against the man who he called father for taking her away from him. The one thing he never expected on standing in front of him is the “wild child” that is under the MC’s protection.
Abbey has her own demons she is trying to forget about. she needs to learn to live with them and feels Sawyer is the one who can teach her. only problem is Sawyer wants to know the past and Abbey cannot give it to him. That is the one thing she has never told anyone the entire truth about.
I was never a big Sawyer fan but after reading this he is amazing the way he deals with his devil and how he begins to treat Abbey. I love how all the guys protect Abbey and say and do what they feel is right for her.  But only Sawyer would do what he did for Abbey to show he loves her. This is not a hearts and flower story it is dark and twisted but I enjoyed it.  Seeing these two help each other and seeing how much they had in common was great.
A few of my favorite lines:
When Angels fear to tread in your presence, then only a devil will bring the calm you desire.
I want to make him need me as much as he needs that voice in his head. I want his broken parts to shine shattered sunlight on mine to make a stunning kaleidoscope of courage.
Max is the author of dark, and highly emotional romance. Her Butcher Boys series is centered around a group of ex-street kids who have teamed up with an indebted motorcycle club to take down a notorious drug lord. And her new series, the Fallen Aces MC, is a spin-off from this dark and dangerous world. Her writing has been described as ‘gripping’, and ‘addictive’, taking you on an ’emotional roller coaster ride’.


Originally born and bred in New Zealand, Max now resides with her family in beautiful and sunny Queensland, Australia. Life with two young children can be hectic at times, and although she may not write as often as she would like, Max wouldn’t change a thing. When she’s not engrossed in her dark and twisted fictional worlds, she can be found enjoying the outdoors while 4wd-ing with her family.

#Paranormal #ReleaseBlitz – The Dead Come Calling (The Wraith Files, #2) by CC Woods

I’m Zoe Thorne and I speak to the dead. Unfortunately, dead isn’t always synonymous with good-natured. In fact, most of the spirits I meet have dirty minds and a tendency to create mischief and mayhem.


For the past two months, I’ve been traveling with the cast of The Wraith Files, a paranormal investigation web show. Stony and Blaine are like the perverted, annoying brothers I never had. Our boss, Malachi Flemming, well, he makes my heart beat faster and my hormones dance.

During a break from filming, I’ve returned home to my resident ghost, Teri, an exotic dancer who died thirty years ago. I’m on a mission to find the man who murdered her and see that justice is served.

Preoccupied with my search for a killer, I’m unaware that something dark and twisted lies in wait for me. Not one, but two faceless entities intent on terrorizing me before moving in for the kill.

With unseen enemies shadowing my every move, it’s time to discover how deep my abilities run. I need every bit of power I possess…or I’ll be taking my place among the dead.

A native Texan, C.C. grew up
either reading or playing the piano.
Years later, she’s still not grown up and doing the same things. Since the voices in her head never shut up, C.C.
decided to share their crazy stories and started writing books.
Now that she has a baby girl
at home, C.C.’s non-writing time is usually spent cleaning up poopy diapers or
feeding the poop machine. Sometimes she
teaches piano, cooks, or spends time bugging her hubby and two beagles.
