#WOTR24 #EventBlogger #EventSecurity – Tenise Webber A.K.K. Twinsie Tenise

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hello! I’m Tenise, I live in Illinois with my wife and our 3 fur babies. I manage the kitchen at a local Jr. High School 9 months out of the year. In my free time I enjoy reading and doing crafts.

How long have you been blogging?

Ugh! My memory is terrible! 4 years? Maybe 5. Lol

What are your favorite Genres?

M/M is my jam! Dark Romance and psychological thrillers are a couple of my other favorites.

Who are some of your favorite authors?

A.d. Ellis, J.M. Walker, Vinni George, NR Walker, Pepper Winters, and (thanks to Twinsie Jo) I’ve added Tiffany D Jackson to the list. Jo always recommends the best books.

Do you prefer to read standalones or series?
Novellas or long books?

I feel like my answer to this one shifts at times, but currently standalones. Unless it’s a series of interconnected standalones then I’m great with it being a series.

Long books

On a typical day, how much time do you spend reading?

Lately? Not enough, maybe 30 minutes to an hour.

Do you have a favorite character written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

Brody from the Door series by Vinni George is my current favorite! I’ve read 30 books so far this year and of everyone I’ve “met” Brody is by far my favorite. From the moment he was introduced in book 1, I just hoped he would get a story. Vinni saved the best for last in my opinion… He’s a lovable guy who gives the best nicknames. I just fell in love with from jump. What touched my heart the most about him is his compassion and love for his friends/found family. He’s just perfect.

Do you have anything you want to share that didn’t fit on one of these questions?

No, I’m good. If I take any longer to get this questionnaire returned to Angie she’s either going to fire me or put me in charge of the bathroom signing. (iykyk lol)  *Angie did in fact move her to the bathroom on the event day schedule now*

#WOTR24 #Review Book Tour – Deranged Ink #2 by C A Harms

Title: Deranged Ink, Book #2
Series: Inked Boys
Author: CA Harms
Genre/Tropes: Friends to Lovers, Second Chance, Tattooed Bad Boy
Release Date: October 31, 2023
Cover Design: Melissa Gill Designs

I’ve never been the kind of girl to take the easy way out. I learned at too young of an age there are no such things as fairy tales. Happy endings never came to people like me.
The tarnished ones.
I’m surrounded by a group that knows sadness too well. We know what it’s like to lose and be tossed away like last night’s trash.
We are easy to blame for all the wrongs, because when others look at us, they see our scars. Most of our stories are told in the ink we bear, but we wear those tales proudly.
Oliver Riggins is the first man I’ve run across that made me feel like I could have more. But he’s also one of the many men who are more family to me than my own flesh and blood.
Four brothers by choice, they’ve taken me in, and treated me as one of their own.
The problem is, I’ve always wanted more from Oliver.
I’ve felt an instant connection to him from the first day I walked into Deranged Ink. But the fear of ruining what we have and then in the end not having him at all, that was too hard to bear.
So instead, I’ve sat back and watched the parade of women in his life, but with each one I feel a little part of me crumble away.
I want him, I’ve always wanted him.
Maybe it’s time I stop running.
Maybe it’s time I start fighting for the things I want.

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

After reading book 1 I had a soft spot for Luna and wanted to know her story.  Really a tough girl that is friends with these crew of guys is my kinda girl.  I wanted to know what happened to her to land her with this misfit group I figured it was a rough road that brought her to where she is.

Luna finally found her safe place. She felt safe in her home and with the guys at the shop. She kept a lot of secrets Oliver being one of them.  She wanted more with Oliver but all she could do was watch him with his revolving door of women.  Things were going well for Luna until her past found a way to her and started tormenting her. She no longer felt safe where she was and Oliver was there.

Oliver never thought he was capable of love or being loved. When Oliver realized something wasn’t right with Luna his protective side came out. Oliver could no longer hide his feelings and when he was able to get Luna to open up to him my heart went out to both of them. These two are amazing together. Too see Luna open up and realize that there are good guys out there that will protect and love her and not hurt her was heartwarming.

I have fallen hard for the entire Deranged Ink family.  I was so happy when Dax found Bre in book 1 and now hearing Luna and Oliver’s story. I do like that we got to see a little more of Dax and Bree in this one. They all have truly made their own family. They may not be blood related but they all picked one another and stand by each other through anything. I cannot wait to hear the stories of the other guys of Deranged Ink.

“Damn Luna,” Zac whistles when I sit down and I notice Oliver offers him a dirty look. “Who knew you had a killer set of legs under all those jeans.”

“That dress makes your ass go pow,” Jace adds, and before I get the chance to say anything Oliver smacks him on the back of the head. “What the hell is up your ass Olly?”

That’s when I notice the frown line between Oliver’s scrunched up eyes. “Enough with the comments.”

“Why, because they can’t tell me I look good?”

His gaze lands on me and we hold each other’s stare for a few seconds.

C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She’s always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories.
 
She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes…thankfully.
 
She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better…that quietness changes, fast.
 
HOSTED BY:

#WOTR24 #EventHost #EventBlogger #HBIC – Melinda Bones A.K.A. Twinsie Melinda

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hello I’m Melinda and I am married to a wonderful guy that puts up with my book addiction. I have a teenage daughter who is usually floating around the event seeing if the authors need anything. We also have two dogs a one year old golden doodle and a 10 year old Chihuahua.

How long have you been blogging?

I started blogging in 2014 when Angie convinced me to join Twinsie Talk.

What are your favorite Genres?

I have a few favorites MC right now is my go to but I also enjoy Paranormal, Military, and Reverse Harems.

Who are some of your favorite authors?

There are so many how could I narrow it down. Most of my favorites are WOTR authors and have been for many years.

Do you prefer to read standalones or series?
Novellas or long books?

Depends on my mood that day. I like series because you get to know the characters in depth and their families. I do like a good standalone once in a while. The novellas are great when you just have a couple hours to read that day.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend reading?

I tend to read on my lunch hour and then in the evenings while waiting on my daughter to get out of practice (she keeps me on the run). It it’s an audio I can listen to those anytime.

Do you have a favorite character written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

Lucas from Broken Scars by JM Walker. He was years in the making and I loved him from the moment I saw him in a previous book in another book of JM’s. I knew he was mine from jump. He is the quiet computer guy but also a badass. There was just something about him from the beginning and I had to know more about him, his past and just needed to know who he was.

Do you have anything you want to share that didn’t fit on one of these questions?

Would love to say thank you to all the wonderful WOTR authors, bloggers, supporters and readers. Without you guys we would not be able to do this each year nor would we be able to help Thistle Farms as much as we do.

#WOTR24 #EventHost #HBIC #EventBlog – Angie Johnson A.K.A. Twinsie Angie

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

I am Angie Johnson.  I own TwinsieTalk Book Reviews. I am a “retired” Pre-K Special Education teacher.  I work as a Parent Educator in my full time job.  I have lots of crazy dogs, a kid in college, and an amazing trophy husband who lets me boss him around event weekend.  Also, I love the color pink.

How long have you been blogging?

I started blogging October 14, 2012 when Twinsietalk was created.

What are your favorite Genres?

MC, Paranormal, comedy, and occasionally I need a very dark book for my soul

Who are some of your favorite authors?

Shut up!  Who put this question on the form? Oh wait I did.  I am going to cheat and say every author who had signed at #WOTR or donated to help make any #WOTR a success!

Do you prefer to read standalones or series?
Novellas or long books?

  Man, this is a tough one.  I love the in and out of a novella but a good series is a delicious thing.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend reading?

I listen to audio books for a minimum of 90 minutes a day when I get ready in the morning and when I drive.  If I am driving a lot that day I can get up to 4 hours of listening in.

Do you have a favorite character written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

This is a tough one.  I am going to say my hardcore love is Bryan “Baldy” Alan from Steel MC Montana Charter.  I fell super hard for him in book one of the series.  Michel Prince and co-writer Wren McCabe made me wait until book 4…ruuuuuuuude I tell ya.  I will absolutely fight someone for him.  I have a lot of characters I love or feel a way about but he just captured my heart from jump.

#WOTR24 #EventHost #HBIC #EventGraphics – Breanna Young

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hi, I’m Bree. I work in the accounting department by day and graphics department by night! I love to read, watch tv/movies, and do anything outdoors. Horror themed everything is my true passion! I live in the flat center of Indiana, but enjoy taking trips and exploring outside of here as much as I can.

What are your favorite Genres?

My favorite genres are contemporary (especially single parent and age gap), LGBTQ, and paranormal (mostly shifters).

 Do you prefer to read standalones or series?
Novellas or long books?

I prefer to read long book series. There is nothing better than getting to know the characters and build that attachment to them as the story goes on. My favorite is when a series continues with the side characters stories. You really get a true feel for the characters, side characters, and even the towns.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend reading?

Usually, I will spend a few hours a day reading. Once I am off the clock at work (and even on my lunch breaks!), I like to sit down and snuggle up with my blanket and book. Time seems to get lost as soon as the story begins/continues.

 Do you have anything you want to share that didn’t fit on one of these questions?

I love to talk about books and meet new people!

#NewRelease – Pine River by: Tijan

Pine River by Tijan is now live!

​​Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me.

And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy.
Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him.
 
Scout Raiden.
Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing.
He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up.
 
The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.
It was lust-want-must have-loathing-hate all at once. I was affected.
And I couldn’t have that. No way.
Not after what I’d just left in Cedra Valley.
 
I didn’t care how much money his uncle had.
I didn’t care that it seemed every girl wanted him.
I didn’t care about his reputation as an up-and-coming fighter.
Or the promise of how those hands would make me feel.
 
What I did care about was staying as far away from Scout as possible.
Because the promise of his presence, the heat that was going to turn the light back on in my world wasn’t a promise at all.
It was a threat.
 
I wasn’t going to survive Scout Raiden.

#release – Perfect Fling by Carly Phillips

Perfect Fling
She’s the town good girl.
He’s the sexy bad boy.
But a one-night stand is about to bring consequences neither expects.

Serendipity assistant district attorney Erin Marsden rarely makes mistakes and is perfectly content with her predictable life, thank you very much. Until the day sexy Cole Sanders returns to town and tempts her off her good-girl path.

After seven years of deep undercover work, Cole Sanders comes home to help his aging dad and rediscover his buried sense of right and wrong. He’s not there to get involved with the town’s good-girl, who has always been off limits to a bad boy like him.

But Cole’s a rebel at heart and he just can’t ignore their blazing-hot chemistry. He also can’t ignore the consequences of their intense one-night stand—Erin is pregnant with his baby.

As if that’s not enough to make his protective instincts kick in, Erin’s current case has danger written all over it. But Cole is determined to protect the woman he loves, and Erin finds herself succumbing to his alpha demands.

Now Cole just needs to prove to both himself and Erin that he can give her and their baby the love they deserve.
