Leave a comment

LANEY

Small town life isn’t for everyone. At least that’s what I’m told. To me, it’s everything. Growing up in Magnolia Grove my neighbors are like family and every memory I have is tied to our community.

When a single dad rents the house next door, he makes my simple small town life a little more exciting.

RYAN

After a year of grieving, I vowed to give my daughter a holiday season to remember. Magnolia Grove is the epitome of holiday cheer and exactly the distraction that we need.

When my identity as a country music artist becomes town gossip, I greedily accept help from my new neighbor. What I didn’t expect was to find someone who speaks to my soul and reminds me of how much life there is left to live.

When we’re together beneath the southern stars, I believe anything is possible.

Review by Twinsie Dee

i was given this book by the author for an honest review

Small town living is much different than the crazy life of Nashville and Ryan is moving to Magnolia Grove to get a fresh start a year after his daughter’s mother passed away and they both needed a place that didn’t have a memory every time they turned around. Laney is the small-town girl grown up with a hard work in her blood and don’t take crap from no one. so, when her crazy dog finds the new neighbors moving in and the cutest little girl to be friends with, she can’t help but wonder what their story is and what brought them to Magnolia Grove. the small-town charm is working on Ryan and Pepper and hope that they can make new memories but still have Katie be a part of Pepper’s life even if just in memory she will always be the breeze in the wind, the warmth from the sun and live within her daughter’s heart. life as a single dad is the hardest thing Ryan has done but maybe the thought of opening his heart to find new love might be the hardest and worst thing ever. Such a cute story that will make you laugh, cry and fall hopelessly in a happy every after. this was such a good way to end the chapter to Magnolia Grove.

A romantic at heart, Andrea has always been a storyteller. An avid reader since a young age, she never planned to pen her own romance novel but, on a whim, and with no plan, she discovered her passion. Known for her slow burn small town romances, Andrea prides herself on writing relatable characters that the reader cheers for and secondary characters who bring the sass and laughs to each story.

Settled in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and dog, she counts down the days when her adult children come home for a visit. Even if it means more laundry!

#Review – Slay All The Way (Silent Frights Book 1) by Nova Kane

Leave a comment

SLAY ALL THE WAY

Santa’s got a new suit, and it’s stained with blood.

Killer clown, killer clown,

Stalking through the snow,

Ribbons tight, silent night,

Nowhere left to go.

Killer clown, killer clown,

On his blood-red sleigh,

You can’t escape his twisted shape,

You’re all his to slay.

Blood-red bows, icy toes,

Underneath the tree,

With twisted glee, you’ll never be free,

His gift to you is he.

This is my favourite book by Nova Kane so far! I was intrigued by Johnny when we first meet him in the Cirque Du Desir books. But by the end of book 2, I had to know more about this psycho clown.

I read Slay All The Way in a single sitting and stayed up way later than I originally intended. I love a good reading session like that!

So we meet Alaska, who is trying to salvage things between her and her boyfriend Mark. He’s a tool by the way. But Alaska is getting no where. All while this is happening, she feels like she’s being watched. I wonder by who? 😉

Johnny is obsessed and is determined to make Alaska his. When they finally cross paths, it’s off the charts HAWT. While I was reading, I kept thinking, I know I probably shouldn’t like Johnny but I really truly do. Clearly there’s something wrong with me. Especially after he leaves Alaska a present.

I can’t wait to binge the rest of Nova’s books and to read every single thing she releases. 

She definitely has a new fan for life!

Leave a comment

Sequel to A La Folie

This is a PITCH BLACK EROTIC HORROR. Please mind the trigger warnings.

Are you ready for the show to begin?

Cirque Du Desir : The Dark Harvest – A Night of chaos, carnage and contentment.

Coming soon to a town near you.

Holy moly this was sick, twisted, disgusting and depraved and I loved every bit of it!

We are back with our lead couple, Indie and Lux, who run Cirque Du Desir. They are the King and Queen and everyone knows it.

We’re also introduced to Johnny a little bit as well and I have to say and I can’t believe I’m saying this especially when you read about him, but I was very happy whenever I read his chapters. So much so that I can’t wait to read his Christmas book. Johnny and Christmas doesn’t sound like it should go together.

This book is everything you could ask for in a horror erotica. Between lots of bloodshed, super hot intense times, and moments that make you question on why you like it, it’s definitely a must read if you enjoy the darker side of things.

When Lux, Indie, Johnny and the rest of the cirkies, create a night they hoped for and more, things take a twisted unhinged turn.

Please note that this book is NOT for the faint of heart but I can’t wait to see what’s next for our King and Queen!

#Review – Spunky (The DNF Series, #1) by Haley Tyler

Leave a comment

If your book boyfriend came to life, would you do anything to keep him?

Of course you would.

And I would too.

Ian and I only have 72 hours together before he disappears back into his book, and the only way to keep him with me forever? True love’s j*zz. That’s right. I need all the creamy, spunky goodness he has to offer. And I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make him mine forever, even if that means marrying a fictional man.

Ok this book was awesome! I came across it in a book group I’m in and boy am I ever glad I decided to give it a shot. It’s so cringe and off the wall but I loved it! It was definitely a nice break from the heavy stuff I’ve been reading and writing. AND it’s a nice change and takes you out of life stuff in general.

So we meet Lyric (I love this name by the way), who is desperate to find her true love but she doesn’t think it’ll ever happen.

After speaking with her friend who gives her a way to make her book boyfriend come to life, she does it and it works! But there’s a catch. They don’t have long together. So she has to do whatever she can to make sure they can stay together forever.

The descriptive word choices for…uh…things had me rolling. I couldn’t stop laughing. But at the same time, it was also super hot.

This book is short and filthy, with the most asinine ways you could ever think of to describe things and I absolutely loved every bit of it.

THIS IS A EROTIC HORROR CIRCUS ROMANCE
I don’t say DARK lightly for this one. This book will be HEAVY. Be sure to check the TW before reading. You’re mental health matters most.

Indie Conners, stared my demons in the eye and smiled.
She fell for everything I hoped she’d fear, and now she’s making me feel things I don’t want to feel.
Obsession, passion, hope and something new and even more dangerous- love.

Lux Julius is everything I shouldn’t want. Everyone warned me about him.
But where others see a monster they condemn, I see a lost and misunderstood soul.
The more he pushes me away, the harder I’ll fight. I won’t stop until his demons become mine.


Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and prepare to be seduced by the darkness!
Welcome to the Cirque du désir, where lust wears a twisted mask and desire dances with the devil.
This is not your average love story; this is a dark circus romance that will leave you breathless, longing for more, and questioning the very nature of your own depraved heart.

But beware, dear reader, for love in the Cirque du désir comes at a cost. As you indulge in the intoxicating spectacle, you may find your own heart entangled in the web of obsession and intrigue.
The line between pleasure and pain blurs, and the boundaries of morality fade away like a distant memory.
The circus is not just a performance; it’s a seduction of the senses, a carnival of the macabre that will leave you haunted by the echoes of forbidden desires.
Witness the contortion of emotions, the fire of passion, and the knife-edge balance between pure ecstasy and despair.

Buy your ticket now and enter a world where lust is a dangerous game, and the only way out is through the darkness.
The Cirque du désir awaits, and once you’ve tasted the bitter-sweet nectar of its dark embrace, you’ll never see love the same way again.
Step into the darkness, for here, the heart’s darkest desires come alive under the twisted, ominous glow of the big top lights.

Ok first off, like the author says, this book is DARK. So if you have trigger warnings or if you’re unsure if you do, stay clear of this one.

Second, I absolutely loved this one! It’s dark, beyond hot and downright filthy. I would just like to say right away that I’m glad this book isn’t a standalone. I want more of Lux and Indie.

Lux is broken and lost. He runs a circus where nothing is off limits, you don’t get judged and you can have all of your deepest darkest desires taken care of.

Indie and her friends head to this circus for a night of fun but Indie wasn’t expecting the untouchable man, Lux, to be interested in her.

Lux thinks Indie is pure and shouldn’t want him and definitely shouldn’t be in a place like Cirque du désir. But even Indie knows that there’s something about the circus, especially him, that pulls her in. She wants to explore that dark side of Lux more but he refuses.

When he finally gives in, things are explosive between them.

After Indie has to deal with a situation at home, the two meet up again but I have a feeling that all isn’t as cozy as they think it is.

I think more blood will be shed as the series goes on.

I guess we’re about to find out! On to book 2!

#Review – One Tequila (The Althea Rose Series Book 1) by Tricia O’Malley

Leave a comment


From a NY Times & USA Today Bestselling author comes a laugh-out-loud magical mystery set in small-town Tequila Key.

Tequila Key is just like any other small town and I’m just like any other small town psychic. Scratch that. Tequila Key is a world onto itself and some people might think that I am one crayon short of the box.

And, if we’re being totally honest, Tequila Key is just like any other small town – if that town boasts a voodoo priestess and a few white witches for flavor. Turquoise blue water and the best margaritas this side of Mexico make it hard to leave.

I’m Althea Rose, co-owner of Luna Rose Potions & Tarot Shop, and I’ve just stumbled into a love triangle while trying to save my best friend from being accused of murder.

See? Just like any other small town.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Fun mix of humor and magic with just the right amount of mystery and suspense and the perfect pinch of a love twist.

I listened to One Tequila via Audible while I was sick. Needless to say, I needed a pick me up. When I read the synopsis, I knew it was right up my alley.

At first, it seemed to move a tad too slow for me. But in full disclosure, I don’t do well with audiobooks as I generally prefer to read over listen. However, I was always left with just enough that I kept wondering what was going to happen next. I had to keep listening. Althea had me hooked. She had herself in the middle of quite a mess. If something could happen to her, it was going to happen to her. And her friends, witchy and the norms, made the story all the better. The ending had a twist that I did not see coming and had me literally saying OMG. I laughed at places I probably shouldn’t have and found myself fully enjoying One Tequila!

I am looking forward to seeing what other shenanigans Althea Rose and her friends can get into!

Review- i bought this book here is my honest review

Meg and Michael wanted some time alone with Michael house sitting for different coworkers, and Meg being at her parent house there was no time for just them. Well one rough ferry ride to Meg’s aunts’ cabin is just what they needed. A tropical storm, being surprised by Meg’s entire family at the cabin they were all trapped together still not alone, stuck on an island with a bunch of bird watchers, a grumpy unwelcomed homeowner, and a dead body what else could go wrong. Sometimes wanting to get away can be a bigger pain then staying put. also, who spots the most puffins on the island. this was such a interesting and hilarious read the birders just make it that much funnier.

Blurb- I’m an adrenaline junky.
I run into burning buildings, put everything on the line and thrive on the high it triggers.
It’s how I live my life. It’s how I’ve always lived my life.
I love the fast pace. A new adventure every day.
So why can’t I shake my brunette neighbor?
Why when I see her do I feel like everything around me stops?

Grayson a very good-looking firefighter in Nashville is bachelor living his best life and is a well-known manwhore in the station. but he fights fires, saves as many lives as he and his brothers can, so why he has one-night stands with no strings attached. one morning he had a knock on his door from his neighbors very blunt younger sister telling him how big of an ass he really is. and since that very moment he got a good look at his neighbor he hasn’t been the same. Skye was a single mom to her teenage sister when she got guarding ship of her after their parents died in a car accident. that night changed both of their lives forever and as much as she can’t take it most days, she wouldn’t trade it for the world. now she’s doing hair in a solan with her new gal pals, and she’s actually happy, but one thing Skye didn’t want to feel was something for her manwhore of a neighbor. will Grayson be able to control his hose, and rumor has it magical tongue to let Skye in or will Skye just have to continue to listen to his life saving skills through the walls of their apartments. OMG this book was amazing, I flew through this book and i haven’t done that in a long time I can’t wait to meet the rest of these smoking hot fireman from station 47.

Blurb- Cooper

By day I’m fighting fires and saving lives with my brothers at the station, and by night I’m slinging drinks at our family bar with my blood brothers.
I was happy, but I couldn’t help wanting more.
When I stumble across the stunning redhead and her little boy, it’s like everything I was searching for just appeared in front of me.
When an apartment fire takes everything she’s ever worked for, I can’t help offering my home to her and that chubby faced toddler.
Soon enough, they’re not just living in my home, but now they’re permanent residents of my heart.
And if I have it my way, they’ll never go anywhere for the rest of our lives.

I never planned to be a single mom, but Roman is the absolute love of my life and the best thing that ever happened to me.
When I moved to Nashville for a fresh start, I never could have dreamed what was heading our way.
When the firefighter with a heart of gold steps in to help me and my boy, I vow to find some way to repay him.
I just never imagined I would end up giving him my heart.
I soon find myself imagining a life I never saw for us… a happily ever after.
But after years of never being enough or wanted by someone, can I trust that he really wants us forever?

Review- i was given this book by the author for an honest review

Haley is a single mama to a cute little boy, living on her own after just moving to Nashville after finding herself pregnant and her parents kicking her out of the house. the only person she ever had in her corner was her older brother Jensen, who is in the military to do anything he can to help his sister and his nephew with anything they might need. When Roman is getting his molars and can’t get any form of relief, Haley is exhausted and while he’s screaming in the store while trying to get a few items Haley finds a tall good-looking stranger coming up behind her asking if he could try to help her little guy. Cooper grabbed some frozen waffles, and it was the best sound Haley ever heard Roman was finally calming down. When Cooper turned that corner at the store he was hit by a ton of bricks, and he was needing to get to know this woman and her son, he can’t stop thinking about them at all. When the Station gets a fire call at Haley’s apartment complex, Cooper is now in a panic until he sees them and knows they are safe, but they are now going to be staying together while Haley gets back on her feet, but once that happens will Haley or Roman want to leave the comfort of Coopers house, or will he chip away at all the walls that she has put up to protect her heart so what happens in her past didn’t affect her life now. OMG these dang firemen are smoking, hawt and ugh I’m needing this station too be real. another great story and I need the next one. but these cliffhangers are torture in the best way.

Blurb- Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders…

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away…because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom’s protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die

OMG so idk how much I can explain how great this book is. so, trust me if you weren’t sure about reading this book and don’t want to fall into the hype of this world DO IT. Violet wanted to go into the scribe quadrant and that’s what she had taught her whole life her dad helped her. but with her dad dead, her brother dead, her mother is the general of the rider’s wing. She has no choice and goes to the riders’ class at the beginning of the new year. So much happens that you just get sucked in, Violet isn’t in the shape to be a rider but she isn’t going to give up, she uses her brain to help take out the rivals that are out to kill her. Dragons, swords, violence, and oranges. this book is gripping from the start.

Blurb- Meet Cecilia Chevalier, teen witch. Well, she doesn’t know she’s a witch. But when her powers develop on Halloween night, she does what any teenager who just discovered she has magic would her History grade, because that C- just can’t happen. Get revenge on her cheating ex. Make a table in the cafe disappear Okay, maybe that last one wasn’t on purpose. And the ones before it don’t exactly go according to plan. But learning to control magic is hard! When it’s only a snap snap away, Cecilia’s impulses are harder to control than ever.

Her life gets even more complicated when her best friend Ezra does some research on his family tree, and finds out that his and Cecilia’s families are oddly connected through witch ancestors.

With Ezra looking into the past, especially Cecilia’s mother who left her when she was born, and her magic malfunctioning, what else will go wrong?

Cecilia Chevalier has been a witch for all of a week or two and her entire world has flipped upside down.

The bad news? Her best friend’s mother refuses to let them hang out anymore. Her grandfather tells her to stay away from him, too, which is even weirder.

The good news is she’s getting her magic under control. Sort of.

Then, there’s a new kid at school, Xavier, who is dark and mysterious and no one knows a thing about him. Except, he seems to know a lot about Cecilia.

Ezra tells Cecilia to stay away from Xavier.

Xavier tells her Ezra can’t be trusted.

Ezra has been her best friend for years. He knows all about her being a witch and has even dug up more crazy family history.

But Xavier tells her a secret that changes everything.

In the end, she knows there’s only one person she can trust—herself.

Maybe she’ll just let the boys fight this out themselves.

i bought this book and here is my honest review

CC just had her life turned upside down and when she needed answers, her grandpa left for a few days and now there is a mysterious new student that seems to know more about her then she does. Xavier appears to be the person that holds the key to Cecilia’s past and her newfound witchiness. His touch helps the pain go away, now her best friend isn’t allowed to be around her and when he’s near her, her body feels like it’s on fire. this is something she never seen coming and now she’s having to figure it all out on top of trying to be a normal teenager. Will CC get the answers she’s been waiting for or will she still be in the dark. Also, you won’t see that ending coming till it smacks u in the face. I’m so invested in CC life now I feel like I’m right there next to her going through it as well.

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

Honey found herself at the local bar to sing some karaoke and have a few drinks, she found herself thinking it was her turn to sing, and it wasn’t it was a very good-looking man, singing her song. she found herself stuck on him and drowning in his voice, they meet, and he wants her name Honey has 2 rules when she goes out 1) no names and 2) no hooks-up, but she then finds herself breaking her rules and in the sheets with this mystery military man. after 3 years of being away from home and a divorce later Honey was moving back to the small town, she always considered Honey finds herself back in Magnolia Grove for her bestie’s grandmother’s funeral and she wasn’t not going to show up for her. home. Honey still can’t get her mind off of her one night stand she never does that but with it had been 3 years it was definitely a wild night she knew she would never see the mystery man again, well she didn’t think she would until she heard his magical voice in no other place then behind the pudendum at Sunday service and he’s the preachers son. Honey is traumatized and Mr. preacher man is just as shocked, sermons, and trying to get Honey’s heart is what he’s working on being back in the small town, will he be able to pray and get into her heart or will the devil get to it first. this was a very slow start with a lot of repeating in the first few chapters but then it started picking up and was good.

Gail Haris believes in fairytales, love, and laughter as the best medicine. She has somewhat of a warped charm.

Steamy with a dash of sugar! Gail loves blending romance out of life’s everyday chaos. Stories filled with humor and steam and moments of sweetness, along with suspense and twists. Death… and then sprinkle some glitter. “Let’s make it awkward” is her motto.

Gail enjoys living in a small town in Southeast Missouri, and then taking adventures all over the world with her two fierce princesses and Boo Bear aka her ultimate real-life book boyfriend and high school sweetheart – basically the love of her life.

When she’s not getting into mischief or scheming with her two girls, she’s busy coming up with crazy scenarios for her characters.

Using coffee and her imagination, Gail writes contemporary romances that blend laughter and true love out of everyday chaos. She writes in a variety of genres including romantic comedy, romantic suspense, and new adult/coming of age romance.

Hopefully by following her dream of becoming an author, she can be an example to her daughters that their dreams can become a reality. Maybe she can encourage you, too.

Never stop believing in love, dreams, and yourself. And coffee…don’t give up on coffee and books 😉

Review by Twinsie Dee

i bought this book here is my honest review

OMG so idk how much I can explain how great this book is. so, trust me if you weren’t sure about reading this book and don’t want to fall into the hype of this world DO IT. Violet wanted to go into the scribe quadrant and that’s what she had taught her whole life her dad helped her. but with her dad dead, her brother dead, her mother is the general of the rider’s wing. She has no choice and goes to the riders’ class at the beginning of the new year. So much happens that you just get sucked in, Violet isn’t in the shape to be a rider but she isn’t going to give up, she uses her brain to help take out the rivals that are out to kill her. Dragons, swords, violence, and oranges. this book is gripping from the start.

Rebecca is a #1 New York Times, USA Today, Sunday Times, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of over fifteen novels, including FOURTH WING, and is always ready to bring on the emotions. She’s also the recipient of the Colorado Romance Writer’s Award of Excellence in New Adult for Eyes Turned Skyward from her Flight and Glory series.

She loves military heroes and has been blissfully married to hers for twenty-one years. She’s the mother of six children and lives in Colorado with her family, their stubborn English bulldog, feisty chinchillas, and Maine Coon cat who rules them all. Having fostered then adopted their youngest daughter, Rebecca is passionate about helping children in the foster system through her nonprofit, One October.
