Rescued Heart: A Titan World Novel (Combat Hearts Book 3) by [Tarina Deaton]

“Please, Jordan. It’s Emme.”

The last thing Major Jordan Grant expected was to be pulled off his unit’s deployment for a civilian mission. But when Titan calls, you answer — especially when the mission is to rescue the younger sister of your childhood best friend. Moments away from death, NGO nurse Emme France could only pray for a miracle.

The last person she expected to see in the smoke and dust was Jordan Grant, her teenage crush and litmus test of all the men she’d dated ever since. Lying low at Titan’s exotic Abu Dhabi headquarters while the media furor around her rescue settles, Emme and Jordan explore a mutual attraction that is no longer young and innocent. Days in the desert paradise ignite desire and blur reality…until they return home, where Jordan rejoins his deployed unit and Emme is left alone to reevaluate her life and priorities.

Their passion was forged in the fires of combat. Will the home fires be enough to keep the burn alive?

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book and audio.

So, we kinda know Jordan but not a whole lot.  We know he survived the unimaginable thanks to Bree.  We know he has demons.  We know he is struggling.  So when I got his book I was so excited to meet this man.

Again, I have to say the narration is A-MAZ-ING!!  I mean Hayden just blows me away with each book.  I absolutely love love love her ability to tell the story.

Jordan is going to dedicate his life to military and service.  When he gets a call to come and do a special “off the books” mission for a family friend he is stunned.  He always thought Emme was something special as a kid and now he can’t imagine her as a woman.  He joins the Titan Team (This is a series from Cristin Harber) who was hired by her family.

Emme is doing her thing providing care for women in another country when she is taken as a hostage.  She is not sure why and is giving up surviving when she is rescued by….Jordan…..Doug’s best friend.  The one guy she always crushed on???

The story of Emme and Jordan was amazing.  The way he helped her get through her trauma.  The way they both talked about their history and wanting to explore MORE.  Of course, stuff goes sideways and hearts are on the line.

I was so excited by this couple.  I love the way they bonded and how they both accepted each other for who they are.  They both wanted more with the other but were scared to death at rejection or changes they couldn’t handle.

Tarina has spent her entire life in and around the military – first as a dependent and then as an enlisted Air Force member.

She writes contemporary and military romance about strong women and the men strong enough to love them. She draws heavily from her own military experience to create authentic characters who face real personal challenges.

Tarina is still active duty and a single mom of six-year-old twins. Her favorite hobby is sleep. She has delusions of retiring from the military and being a stay-at-home mom and full-time writer.

Locked-Down Heart (Combat Hearts Book 2) by [Tarina Deaton, Jessica Snyder, Shauna Kruse]

Denise Reynolds’s tightly controlled life is thrown off kilter when she’s given custody of her young cousins. There are days she has a hard enough time getting herself out of bed, never mind two precocious kids.

If that wasn’t enough, Chris Nolton comes strolling back into town as suddenly as he left it. She’d broken her own rules and given him a chance once before, only to have him ghost on her. But he’s not there for her this time. No, he’s leading the FBI Task Force intent on capturing the kids’ biological father. A man who was sent to prison for manslaughter. A man who was released five years too early. A man who wants his kids back.

The past has a way of repeating itself and once again, Denise finds herself defending the innocent against the evil of world. One wrong decision, one second guess, could have devastating consequences. To protect the most important people in her life, she’ll need to trust the one man with the power to break her.

I purchased this book.

GUUUYS~This series!!!  I am in HEAVEN!!!  I will admit I am not a huge military reader, but these books got me in my feeeeeels!!!

Denise….We love her or I love her anyway. I mean she is the best.  Sorry but I have a huge girl crush and I want her to be my best friend.  I would say I would fight Bree, but I know what she can do with a rifle…so I will just share her!!!

Denise is selfless.  Denise is the most loyal person.  She is who you want in your corner.  But Denise is a MEEEESSSSS. Between getting her heart broken by Chris (accidently I admit) and the stuff with Sarah.  Girl is about to CRACK!!!  Well she does crack actually….and punches Chris ….LOL I did laugh pretty hard at that scene.

Chris is so mad when he finds out no one told Denise about his job.  He rushed home and finds out his new case is *Gulp* Denise’s cousin!!!  Yeah he is allll kinds of a mess but he knows he wont let her go again.

This book has A LOT going on.  Denise and Chris trying to get it together…mainly Denise because Chris is in it for the long haul except, he won’t do girls hair *Snicker*.  Denise figuring her life out now that she is a single mom of 2 kids.  She needs help but won’t ask for it at the shelter and just damn with her life!!!!

I am telling you.  I have book 3 ready to go.  Hayden’s narration is PERFECTION.  She gives the scenes the tension voice or comedic voice as written. I think her narration had made my enjoyment even better.  For real girl is amazing!!

I honestly am torn…do I love Jase or Chris more…its close but Jase may still be on the top…but its CLOSE!!!!

Dragon's Gain: A Secret Baby Dragon-Shifter Romance (Return to Dragon Isle Book 4) by [Sophie Stern]

One dragon. One tiger. One unexpected baby.

Sora hasn’t been on Dragon Isle since the day she slept with Wright Harkness. He’d been so sweet and wild and dragony that she hadn’t minded at all when she’d fallen for his sweet words.

It wasn’t until weeks later when two little blue lines revealed that Wright left her with more than a night of memories: he had left her with a child.

Now, she’s heading back to the island. She knows that this was never supposed to be a permanent thing. A fling. It was supposed to be a fling.

What’s Wright going to do when she tells him the truth?

Review by Twinsie Angie

I was given this book from the author through Book funnel for an honest review.

I am going to start by saying I did not read the book before this book.  I didn’t see the hook up or love story develop between the main characters.  However, I didn’t feel by reading this book I was lost of confused in any way about Sora and Wright’s HEA.

Sora and Wright both total fell for each other but Sora’s running left them both broken.  Sora because she was having a dragon baby.  She wasn’t sure what Wright would say about that.  Wright was broken because this human he felt was his mate.  He thought everything was perfect and then WHAMO she is gone.  When Wright see’s Sora he pretty was like “Nope sis. Not happening again.” He grabs her and won’t let her go.

The story was “sweet” in that they both finally come clean about things but not THAT sweet. There were plenty of naughty reconnecting scenes between the 2 characters for sure.  This book was a great, easy read.  I am looking forward to Miranda’s book ( Wright’s sister) because she was a hilarious mess!

Half-Broke Heart (Combat Hearts #1.5) by [Tarina Deaton]

Denise Reynolds is used to putting up a good front to show the world a strong, capable woman, but keeps a lot of things buried deep.

Chris Nolton is everything she learned the hard way to avoid — a sexy alpha-male who could charm her out of her pants and work his way into her heart. If history has taught her anything, it’s a deadly combination, but he manages to dig up emotions and longing she’s tried to bury for years.

He says all the right things and pushes her boundaries in all the right ways. Letting her guard down is difficult, especially since believing all the right things in the past led to unimaginable consequences.

Being content with her life may no longer be an option, but risking her heart may bring her to her knees.

Author’s Note: Half-Broke Heart picks up in the middle of Stitched Up Heart (Combat Hearts, #1) and is not intended to be read as a standalone.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book.

I will say if you haven’t read book one you probably need too.  I think you can read this book without reading book one but Denise is hella funny and you don’t want to miss her comedy.     I mean I had a bit of a girl crush on her TBH so this book and book made my heart happy.

I want to start by saying Hayden’s narration is *Chef’s kiss* amazing.  She does an amazing job with telling the story.  She is easily becoming a favorite voice for me.

Ok so we see Denise and Chris in book 1 but had no clue what was going on between the two of them under Bree and Jase’s noses. Granted Bree was being stalked but still….

Denise and Chris are hella funny together.  They both had some issues, but Chris is ready for a woman too settle down with.  He didn’t realize it until he sees Jase with Bree and until a certain female is giving him the slip.  Karma play boy!!!

Denise is frightened outta her mind with these feelings she is having for Chris.  No one gets her and he does, everyone pushes her and he doesn’t.  No one gives her comfort like Bree and yet she is leaning into his touch. FREAK OUT CITY!!!

Right when we think they are going to have a HEA we quickly realize there is a reason for book 2….OOOF Chris you are in big trouble but hopefully Denise wont be toooooo mad??? Oh dude you’re screwed because yeah she is going to lose it on you.

#WOTR23 #Review – Ask Me to Stay by H. D’Agostino

61247706. sy475

The Bradshaws have owned a beach house down the coast from ours for as long as I can remember. Every summer since I was six, we’ve vacationed there.

Russell, their youngest son, was my best friend growing up. He taught me how to spit and punch like a boy. He gave me my first beer and first kiss, which was terrible by the way. We spent many days and nights commiserating together about how our parents knew nothing and were so uncool.

Casey Bradshaw, Russ’s older brother, was everything I thought I wanted in a boyfriend. He was cool, mature, and very hot. Each summer I tried and failed, to get him to notice me as more than Russ’s friend and the girl from down the beach. The last summer I was there, he broke my heart.

It’s been six years, and my best friend Aimee has decided we need a vacation. The last thing I expected was to be back at the beach. Sometimes we don’t realize what we need has been right under our nose all along, and sometimes it takes a little push and some alcohol to admit we were wrong.

Review by Twinsie Melinda

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

When I set out to read this one, I was ready for the angst, drama filled, leaves you hanging books she usually writes.  I was shocked to see this was not one of those books this was a comedy and oh boy did she have me laughing.

Willow spent her time as a kid at the beach house with her family.  Her best friend was Russ the neighbor boy but she spent her summers drooling over his older brother Casey.  After 6 years she and her friend return to the beach house to relax and have fun.  With the help of an energetic dog, she is reunited with the last per she ever expected.  Her best friend that she lost contact with over the years, Russ.

These two had me in stitches their antics were too funny.  Just saying when alcohol gets involved these two come up with the craziest things. The personal memories that Willow and Russ brought back from my younger years watching their crazy antics were great. This was such a fun read. I have to say I think I loved Taco the most he even got in on the action.  HAHAHHAHAHA

#NewRelease #MM #2ndChance #SingleParent – Two Tribes by Fearne Hill

Leave a comment

Two Tribes by [Fearne Hill]

It’s 1995, and troubled seventeen-year-old Matt Leeson harbours three passions: indie music, wartime history, and the posh boy he sits next to in maths class. Not in that order. One of those passions is closely guarded, along with a few other secrets Matt tucks away. Such as his abusive father, the cramped run-down flat he calls home, and the futility of his dreams to escape both.

Twenty-five years later, and plodding Dr Alex Valentine, recently divorced, is looking back on a life less lived. On his failed marriage and the dull bore he’s become, on the empty, lonely weekends stretching ahead. And, in a corner of his mind, wondering what could have been, if only a slender, raven-haired young man hadn’t so abruptly vanished all those years ago.

First love. Teenage love. It should be nothing more than an opening chapter, right? A short prologue even, before the real test of adulthood begins.

But what if that chapter never closes?

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

When I was given this book, I was actually kinda surprised.  Heather doesn’t do comedy.  Full Stop.  Heather does throw your kindle at the wall, angst inducing suspense.  Not comedy.  So, imagine my complete shock when I am reading this story and laughing my ass off….the tree scene…guys…I died!!!

This is a story about 2 kids who grew up at the beach together. They were besties.  Willow and Russ.  Like with most childhood summer friendships they lose touch. Life fast forwards and Willow is sad, broken and needing a change.  What can cure the broken heart of being dumped by your boyfriend? A summer at the old beach house with your bestie.

Willow and Aimee are attacked by a wild dog on the beach and just who happened to be the owner of said dog? Russ her childhood bestie.  They two start to pal around and Aimee leaves when the romance starts to sizzle……and crack you up at what all happens when they get drunk or have sexy times with taco…just read it ok.

I am a huge fan of Heather’s books.  This one was super refreshing to read.  It was light.  It was sexy.  It was just FUN!  I mean so many “OMG YESSSS I remember that as a kid” moments in the book.  I totally think if you need just something FUN to read this is the book for you.

Leave a comment

Raven (The Protectors Series) Book #18 by [Teresa Gabelman]

Life has never been easy for Raven, and she liked it that way. Keeping things interesting was her motto. Once a Dark Guardian Raven is now a VC Warrior who feels caught between two worlds. Her loyalty to both was sometimes an inner battle within herself.

Being a woman in a man’s world she’s had to battle harder, be smarter and never play the woman card she had turned in so many years ago. Once again, she finds herself fighting for her place and once again, she walks alone in that fight. Respect wasn’t something given to Raven, it was earned daily, and she was fine with that. It was all she knew.

A secret from Raven’s past has turned her world upside down. There were things Raven could forgive, but Charger McNeil’s betrayal wasn’t one of them. He had crushed the guarded heart she freely gave him more times than she could count, and this time was one too many. Knowing what she must do Raven faces her demons alone as she tries to forget Charger ever existed in her world. What she doesn’t realize is that this will be her biggest battle.

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

I was so excited to read this book.  Charger and Raven have such a crazy love story they needed 2 books and I sure am thrilled with how it all turned out.

Charger has loved her but feared what her dad, Jared, would say so he pushed her away after breaking her heart all the time.  Now we talked about this in Chargers book so I won’t give him such a hard time.  This book Raven was finding what made her happy and maybe it will be with Charger and maybe not.

I don’t think anyone has really known all the stuff that has been going against Raven her whole life.  I think this book eyes opened to what she has lived through and how strong of a woman she is.

I loved seeing her strength and passion shine through for her team Katrina, Daniel and newbie Stan.  She has more heart than most know and can see.  This book made my love for her grow.  She is a woman but she is also not.  She is a Warrior, but she is also a Dark Guardian. She is a friend, and her loyalty is not ever to be questioned,

She is one bad a$$ Bish and I loved this book so damn much.  I loved seeing the men all respect her as the women and warrior she is.

I am going to be waiting like crazy for Ryker’s book with Susan.  This is one wild ride the Warriors and Guradians are on and I am here for it!!

In book three of Permanent Hangover: Puck Larson has spent years honing his craft. Splitting his time between four cities and becoming one of the world’s best tattoo artists creating optical illusions on skin.

When Delilah Washington named her baby Patience it was a reminder of what she would need to deal with Puck. A pair of teenagers in a secret high school romance have turned into turbulent adults. The hot and cold relationship has gone from one of excitement to draining. Reality of being a single mother, with a sometime father, and a chance with a new man has Delilah finally drawing lines in the sand when it comes to Puck. Only the world flipped the script and a mix of fear and uncertainty has the nurse reaching out to an unlikely ally.

Has proximity and happenstance given way to a second chance at love in the face of a new man? Or has the lockdown brought on a confrontation a decade in the making as the past rears its ugly head to destroy a final chance at forever?
