August 1815. The war with France is officially over, Napoleon’s an exile on St Helena, but Europe is still a very dangerous place to be.

Kidnapped and held for ransom at nineteen, ducal heir William Ravenwood knows the only person he can rely on is himself. Now part of a spy ring that includes his friends Nicolas and Richard Hampden, he’s the smuggler known as The Raven, a ruthless agent who specializes in rescuing hostages and prisoners of war from captivity.

Raven longs to discover the fate of his colleague, Christopher ‘Kit’ Carlisle, who’s been missing, presumed dead, for over two years. He’s also equally determined to stay away from the one thing he knows is dangerous to his health – the bane of his life, his best friends’ infuriating and provocative little sister, Heloise.

Heloise is a brilliant code breaker, one of the English government’s most valuable assets. She’s also loved Raven for years, but considering that he rejected her at sixteen, before her face was scarred rescuing her brother from an icy river, she’s certain he doesn’t want her now, despite his outrageous flirting.

But when Heloise decodes a message that proves Kit is alive and a prisoner in Spain, Raven realizes she’s in grave danger. With French agents determined to silence her, he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe – even if that means taking her to Spain with him as an unwilling hostage.

As they face French deserters and Spanish freedom fighters, Raven and Heloise try to ignore the simmering attraction that’s been building between them for eight long years. The differences between them are striking but they’ve always had a strange underlying bond. Heloise might be scarred outwardly, but Raven’s wounds are all on the inside. He knows he’s not worthy of her love—a shadowed Hades pining for sun-kissed Persephone—but he’s not above showing her passion for the short time they’re together.

A master at decoding complex messages, Heloise finds Raven frustratingly hard to read, but as their lives hang in the balance she’s determined to unravel his secrets and unlock his dark, elusive heart…

I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

SO I love a good Historical but this was a bit different then I had ever read.  Most historical books are the wallflowers falling in love with the Rakeshell of a man.  This book was so much more than those.  This is about spies..OH what fun!!

Now this is the 2^nd book in a series and I did not read it but to be honest I never felt like I missed anything or felt left outta the loop on any of the drama of the plot or characters.

So this book is about Heloise and Ravenwood. They are both working for the same goals annnd totally hot for each other.  However, due to the fact she is Ravenwood’s besties sister there is the whole hands off rule….Now we learn through the book that at one point there were hearts laid out but rejection occurred.  Now a lot has happened to Heloise that makes her hide her feeling for Ravenwood and he too has had a lot happen for him .  Now that he has to help protect her he can’t seem to hid his heart from the woman who stole his heart years ago….wiggle eye brows!!

I really enjoyed the book but at ties got a little over the whole “its not you its me” kinda drama but I would totally read another book by this author in the future.

Kate Bateman (writing as K. C. Bateman) wrote her first historical romance in response to a $1 bet with her husband who rashly claimed she’d ‘never finish the thing.’ She gleefully proved him wrong with an historical set in the Italian Renaissance. Now writing for Random House Loveswept, her latest ‘Secrets and Spies’ Regency-era trilogy features her trademark feisty, intelligent heroines, wickedly inappropriate banter, and heroes you want to alternately strangle and kiss—all mixed up in the intrigue and turmoil of the Napoleonic wars.

When not traveling to exotic locations ‘for research,’ Kate leads a double life as a fine art appraiser and on-screen antiques expert for several TV shows in the UK, each of which has up to 2.5 million viewers. She splits her time between Illinois and her native England and writes despite three inexhaustible children and a husband who has flatly refused to read any of her books ‘unless she hits the NY Times Bestseller list.’ It is – naturally – her fervent desire to force the semi-illiterate, number-loving cynic to do so. He still owes her that dollar.

USA Today bestselling romance author Angel Payne has been reading and writing her entire life, though her love for romances began in junior high, when writing with friends on “swap stories” they’d trade between classes. Needless to say, those stories involved lots of angst, groping, drama, and gooey kissing.

She began getting a paycheck for her writing in her twenties, writing record reviews for a Beverly Hills-based dance music magazine. Some years, various entertainment industry gigs, and a number of years in the hospitality industry later, Angel returned to the thing she loves the most: creating character-based romantic fiction. Along the way, she also graduated with two degrees from Chapman University in Southern California, taking departmental honors for English, before writing five historical romances for Kensington and Bantam/Doubleday/Dell.

Angel found a true home in writing contemporary-based romances that feature high heat and high concepts, focusing on memorable alpha men and the women who tame them. She has numerous book series to her credit, including the Kinky Truth series, the Secrets of Stone series (with Victoria Blue), the W.I.L.D. Boys of Special Forces series, and the acclaimedCimarron series. Temptation Court, a new series being launched through the Dark Nights Discovery project, debuts in 2016.

Angel still lives in Southern California, where she is married to her soul mate and lives on a street that looks like Brigadoon, with their awesome daughter and Lady Claire, the dog with impeccable manners. When not writing, she enjoys reading, pop culture, alt rock, cute shoes, enjoying the outdoors, and being a gym rat.

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

This is my first CC Wood book. This is the story of how it all began. How vampires of the Bitten series came to be. I was drawn in from the start it was a quick read and I didn’t want to put it down. The love Aveta and Alaunus have for one another was amazing. They truly balanced one another out.

Aveta was the town outcast. Alaunus was being groomed to take over. Aveta and Alaunus were in love but his father promised his hand to another. Aveta saves Alaunus life after he is cursed but he is not the same when he returns. Even though things are looking up for them until an evil witch gets involved and they are torn apart again.

I enjoyed getting a glimpse at a few of CC Woods Bitten series characters. The ending had me sitting with my mouth hanging open and my heart breaking in two. I really want to know more about these two and this series.

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.

BLURB:

I’ve loved him as long as I can remember.

The gangly boy with big brown eyes and unruly hair who grew up into an intoxicating man. He wears scruff like he invented it and ambles with a swagger that makes panties drop.

Killian Shepard.

Shep.

We grew up together. We played Ghost in the Graveyard. Had our own rock band. It didn’t matter that he was five years older than me. It didn’t matter that he looked at me as a kid sister even as I grew into a woman. It didn’t even matter when he left me behind to go to college and start his adult life.

He’d be back.

He was always meant to be mine.

He came back, all right. But instead of smelling of promises, he stunk of betrayal. And he destroyed me—us—the day he married my sister instead of me.

So I did the only thing a girl like me in my position could do.

I got my revenge.

I married his brother, Kael.

Now we’re one big happy fucking family.

PRAISE FOR BLACK SWAN AFFAIR

“OMG what did I just read? This book… WOW!! It’s been years since I read a book straight through. Yes, seven hours I was glued to the pages of this book. A yo-yo of emotions that left me breathless with every scene. Black Swan Affair is a must read!!” – NYT and USA Today Bestselling Author Nashoda Rose

“Black Swan Affair is intense, mesmerizing, a gripping page-turner that had me guessing until the very end! A top 2016 read!” – Anne Mercier, Bestselling Author

“Simply Amazing. KL had me from page one and I had to pry my fingers off my Kindle when it was over.” – Winter Travers, Amazon Bestselling Author of The Devil’s Knights Series and The Skid Row Kings Series

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

*Big breath in and out. Wipes my teary eyes and looks at my lappy trying to figure out how in the heck I am going to write a review for this book of amazingness without just blabbing and telling you the whole sorted story.*

Maverick…she has loved and I mean whole heart loved Killian her entire life.  She has grown up knowing he will be her forever.  Promises made and kisses stolen but yet he comes home to destroy her by marrying her sister.

Kael is Killian’s younger brother who has loved Mav his entire life.  He has been by her side for everything.  He has helped her when she fell and celebrated with her for every victory. He has also loved her for as long as he can remember.  When he married her he really and truly married the woman of his dreams.  Too bad she didn’t return that love.

Killian was doing the right thing by Mav.  He was waiting for her to grow up but he was plotting to have a forever with her but then everything changed in the blink of an eye.

The story killed me.  The very first chapter you can see a whole lotta emotion…… We can feel Mav and Killian’s chemistry but at the same time I am rooting for Kael.  We can see how much he loves and had loved Mav.  He was there to heal her heart after Killian betrayed her.  He was slowly becoming her everything and my heart was so happy for our couple….and then…BOOM…the closet flies open. Everything changed in the blink of an eye.  The book made me a mess. Who do I want Mav with?  Kael or Killian?  Her present or her past?  Her best friend or her forever love???  Is she destined to be a Swan or a Small Fry???  I loved and hated each man at different times in the book for different reasons but then when we find out why they did things………..omg my heart would just bust wide open for them.

I am a huge fan on KL’s writings and she is an auto buy for me because her writing is flawless and has so much emotional depth in it.  If you haven’t read her stuff, you are missing out and need to one click the rest of her library.  If you already are a fan this book will make your heart skip a few beats like every other book you have read.

Ren Lewis has seen it all, or so he likes to think. He’s encountered every danger known to man. Due to his powers as a Dream Traveler and unstoppable work ethic, he’s experienced more than any human alive. But Ren is about to have a brand new experience.

He’s being dragged on a family vacation.

When a life altering event falls on Dahlia and Ren, he agrees to take a break from work and explore the West coast with his family. But since not everyone in the Lewis clan can dream travel, Ren is forced to endure regular Middling travel in a car. This vacation from hell is actually a spiritual excursion meant to pull the demons out of Ren.

The most powerful man in the world is stripped from his element and visited by three wise women whose jobs are to make him come to terms with his past, present and future. This is a Christmas Carol retelling using a modern day Scrooge.

This was my favorite Ren yet. Ren is taken out of his comfort zone and going on a vacation with Dahlia, Adelaide, and Lucien with one drawback he cannot dream travel to their destination. I saw a new side of Ren in this book but don’t get me wrong his snarkiness was still there. Watching the interactions between Ren and Adelaide and then Adelaide and Lucien was amazing and heartwarming.

The adventures they go on are nothing short of hilarious and eye-opening. To see what Ren went through to make Dahlia happy had me laughing. As you know Ren is not an outdoors family vacation type guy but he does it for Dahlia. All I can say is look out for goats and strange old women. I was cracking up through this.

In true Sarah Noffke fashion she does toss in a twist that had my heart hurting but all in all this was great to see the bond Ren built with Dahlia, Adelaide, and Lucien and the bond between Adelaide and Lucien. I really would like more of Ren but if this is the end it was a great trip.

The one who fell for the lies.
A victim of infidelity.

After months of heartache and loss, anger ensued.

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.

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.

I received this book for an honest review.

This right here was phenomenal!!I dove into this and Cook and Carmen captivated me from the start. They had chemistry from the first time they saw each other and Cook could read Carmen like an open book. HE always knew what she wanted and needed. Ok OK let me start from the beginning.

Carmen had it all college, sorority sisters, and a boyfriend that was the one. Well so she thought until her heart was crushed by said boyfriend and sorority sister. With the help of her BFF (AKA FB stalker) from home she found out her ex was not in an MC and had “brothers”. So turnabout is fair play and Carmen has masterminded a brilliant plan (or so she thinks). What is that plan you ask that right she is going to sleep with all his brothers. Fair is fair since he slept with her sisters. Plan A turns into Plan B and she enlists the help of bartender Kat. However, there is one thing Carmen didn’t take into account for and that was meeting Prospect Cook.

Cook is amazing he knows everything that is going on around him and keeps to himself. He gets Carmen to open up and may find things out on his own but he doesn’t share about himself much. Carmen is falling for Cook but he is a Prospect and she needs to be with officers to make her plan work. OH Boy does Carmen have a lot to learn about the MC world.

I found myself laughing even snorting a few times. Carmen’s antics to get under her ex’s skin or maybe even Cook’s was hilarious. Never knew what you would get when Carmen showed up at the bar, sass, seductive, grungy just off work or even maybe Kmart mom LOL. I have to say I absolutely loved her PJ’s but the best was what she does when Cook give her permission to wear something sexy.  Her sass was the best and how could you not fall in love with her. I also enjoyed seeing her ‘friendship’ with Kat and her interactions with the brothers and even the women. I have to say her dates were the best and the after dates were even better.

I cannot wait to read more of Kim Jones MC’s. She has a way of drawing me in and not wanting to do anything until the last word is read and then I try to keep turning the page even if it says 100% at the bottom.

Kim Jones is a writer with big dreams. Inspired by her personal experience inside the MC life, she’s chosen to write biker romances that are authentic—expressing the true meaning of brotherhood and the lifestyle of motorcycle clubs. She resides in south Mississippi with her husband, Reggie, two dogs, a cat and a donkey.
