Leave a comment

Too bad nothing is ever as it seems.

I’m back in Hill Crest, and it looks like I may have made an enemy last time I was in town.

I’m supposed to lie low, but when a long-time friend of dad comes looking for help to find his missing wife, I have a very hard time telling him no.

As if finding a missing woman wasn’t enough, I’m starting to think I might be haunted. Add in three men that want to finish what we started years ago and I’m thinking my dance card might be a little over booked.

Perfectly Wicked is the third book in the Magical Bureau of Investigation series. This is a slow burn RH or whychoose novel with adult situations.

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

I was super excited to get this book because in Book 1, Blythe was such a mega snot I wanted to know more about her bitch ass.  LOL

But I gotta admit, as I read this book, I really didn’t like, nor did I connect with her. She is a bitch. Period.  I mean I didn’t find anything about her that I was like “Ok I get it now”.  She was very into her own wants and wishes everyone else be damned.

The guys in the book I loved.  They all were great and cared so much for her and put up with a lot with her.  They never ever stopped caring or pushing for more.  They even wanted to protect her from someone who they knew wasn’t a good person.

I guess I wish there was a bit more into the relationships between Blythe and the guys because most of the story was about her and not the guys.  The sexy times with the guys were good but I just felt it was flat as far as their love story goes.  I LOVE Brandy’s books so this one kinda took me by surprise that I didn’t love it like I have all the others.

It did a good job showing the ladies in the bookclub bonding and moved the arc along for their future books but yeah…..

Review by Twinsie Melinda

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

I absolutely loved the first book in this series. Really a group of women who don’t know each other come together in a book club.  These women strike up a friendship where even with their flaws they still band together and support one another. I was curious about Blythe in the first book and was so excited to learn more about her. She seemed to be blunt and opinionated at times. I was ready to find out what made her tick and wanted to know what made her Blythe. I was a bit disappointed when I didn’t connect with her like I wanted. However, oh boy did I connect with her guys and I loved getting to see a little more of her book club friends (yes I say friends even if Blythe may not see it that way).

I loved how everyone rallied around her the guys and her book club girls. Never giving up on her and always there no matter what her mood was or how snooty she got. Only true fiends and loves can look past your flaws and love you unconditionally no matter what.  I enjoyed seeing the ladies bond get stronger as the book went on. No matter how much distance she put between the guys and her they were always there for her and always had her back even if she didn’t know it or see it.

I do enjoy this series and love the concept of it. I am excited to see who the next book will be about and see these ladies bond grow even more.

Brandy Slaven lives in Tennessee with her husband and two wild children. If you can’t find her typing away at her laptop, you will find her with her nose in a book at the beach or hiking at a state park.

Goodreads

Review by Twinsie Angie

 I purchased this book.

 I met the main characters, Steel and Dell, a longtime ago when I read the spin off series : Steel MC Montana Charter.  SOOOO I knew all about steel and Dell but I didn’t know the road to their HEA.  When I met Wren, I had to buy the books since I am head over heels in love with the other series, she co-writes with Michel Prince.  I have been sitting on these books until just NOW because LIFE…ya know.

I have to say I had a rough time reading these books due to the time jumps that aren’t explained util mid-way through a chapter.  I also had issue with some of the messiness of the chapters.  It seemed a bit choppy initially to me when reading.  I was really struggling even at 35% into the book.  I will say the flow seemed to get better more towards the end of the book but if I wasn’t already invested in these characters from another series I might had not finished reading.

Steel is a bit of a man whore and a bit of a DB.  I am being real here people.  He loves Dell and always had but he isn’t about to sit and wait for her to come to him.  Dell is a hot mess since her husband left and knows Steel wants her and she him but again GUILT.  It’s a hard thing.

But when Dell does come to him, he is a mega dick.  Like I would have nut punched him.  Given I know how awesome he is later, it made me sad/angry to see him this way.  But Dell is a mess of contradictions.  She doesn’t want any responsibilities but then is running all the MC Hoez and such.  So again…..Choppy and makes your head spin at how on again and off again she is.

Essentially these two have a whole city block worth’s of history to deal with and right when you think they might make a connection, Dell is kidnapped and the MC is going to get her.

I really wanted to love this book but found it hard to read and follow initially.  I really really wanna read book 2 because I know these characters from the spin off and want to see the road to their HEA. 

Wren grew up in the Northern part of the USA. She enjoys spending time with family, curling up with a good book, coloring in her adult books and driving motorcycles, big trucks and fast cars to relieve stress after a busy week.

Born in a large family she is all about family values and morals.

Wren’s friends and family will agree she is never far from a pen and paper as she finds so many things in the world peak her interest and can inspire an entire story.

#Review – VCard for Christmas (A Filthy Dirty Christmas) by Hope Ford

Leave a comment

A Top 50 Amazon Bestseller!

He asked me to be his fake wife… I gave him my v card.

Yea, it probably wasn’t the smartest move.
He’s my hot, older next-door neighbor and he looks like he would be trouble.
But after one taste of my cupcake, he’s on a mission.
He watches me like an obsessed voyeur, and I probably should tell him no, but when he gets in a bind, I agree to be his fake wife.

It was supposed to be a fun Christmas Eve celebration.

I wasn’t supposed to fall for him.

And I definitely wasn’t supposed to end up in his bed after one date.

Lincoln is smart, handsome, protective and exactly what I wanted… but I wasn’t ready for the next morning when I hear another woman on the phone claiming to be his wife.

Was this all a game?
If so, it’s one I really didn’t want to lose.

Welcome to a filthy dirty Christmas! Forget sugar and spice and everything nice … this year we want to show off our naughty side. Taboo, dangerous, and over-the-top, we’re bringing you everything you were too scared to ask Santa for. **Don’t worry, loves, these are still packed with the heroes you crave and the HEA’s you deserve!

So I was looking for hot, fun, novella type reads and came across this multi-author series by author’s I’ve never read before. I figured why not and give them a shot and I’m glad I did!

VCard For Christmas starts off this Holiday series where we meet Lincoln and Avery. Avery just moved in but Lincoln had no idea until two weeks later. There’s an instant connection between them, one that neither of them can deny. It’s definitely a love at first sight kind of situation.

Lincoln ends up finding himself in a situation where he needs a wingman so to speak. With Avery pretending to be his wife so doesn’t get hit on by a business partner’s wife, things take a turn for better. Pretending to be husband and wife, definitely increases their attraction they have for each other. Until it gets to the point where they can’t do anything but consumate their fake marriage.

Throw in some sweetness, mixed with some spice and steam, and you get a quick, hot little read for those cool nights.

Review by WOTRmomma Julia with permission from her daughter Madi

They’ve known each other forever, and there seems to have always been a spark, which both deny. But Hyacinth has found out there will be a Prince in attendance at a Ball she’s being made to attend, and has decided she will be a Princess! Rhys works for the government and is assigned to follow the Prince. But Hyacinth and Rhys seem to keep crossing paths, and with each encounter, some to realize that they don’t actually hate each other. When the Prince’s nefarious plans are discovered, will Rhys save the day? I found this to be a quick, witty and endearing story!

Tanner-
She was beautiful.
Loved.
Strong.
After hiding away for six months with just my dog to keep me company, I was forced out of the shadows only to end up in the arms of an enemy.
Beatrix Lister saved my life. I had been taking care of myself for so long, I didn’t know how to ask for help, but she refused to go down without a fight.
She was warm where I was frigid.
She was kind and caring where I was a cold-blooded monster.
I did things to survive.
I battled the evils of the world to live.
I didn’t deserve her heart but fell in love with her anyway.
As much as I wanted to be with her, I needed answers and I would do anything to get them.
Even if it meant breaking the heart of the only woman I had ever loved.
~
-Bee-
He was lonely.
Intense.
Brave.
Tanner Horsch came into my life unexpectedly. He was like a tornado, ripping up everything in its path.
There was something about him that I craved.
His touch. His words. His need to survive.
But as we were getting to know each other, he still had walls up.
He refused to let me in knowing my family didn’t approve of him.
I refused to let him go.
After being in the wrong place at the wrong time, he escaped and eventually he ran right into my arms.
He was the villain of someone else’s story, but he was the hero of mine.
I just prayed that he could see that not all monsters are truly evil.
Before it was too late, and he gave himself to the enemy.
My family.

Beatrix or Bee or Johnny and now Busy, brought up by an over protective group of people, that are her fathers friends, never can catch a break! After her cousins drag her out of bar, while she’s having a night out with her girls and drop her off at home, well what’s a girl to do? Save a guy in her backyard, whose been stabbed? Sure why not! Tanner is in hiding, because he saw something, he shouldn’t have. As the leader of a rival Biker club, he knew he was setup for a fall! So after his dog was stabbed and killed he had to run again. Tanner doesn’t no where to turn, so he went to the rival club, big risk or salvation? But for Busy, he’d do anything! She’s the only one who has ever made him feel this way, ways he’s never thought he could! While the story is a stand alone, I loved how it tied up loose ends for another couple, Tanner had a horrible past, that he finally had someone he could trust enough to share with, no judgement, not pity. just there for him! A must read story, by a must read Author J.M Walker!

Trouble always seems to find Will Murphy. Or maybe it’s Will that’s the trouble. His disregard for his actions and his constant lack of responsibilities are his trademark.

One kiss from a sweet girl like Miley Reese may be exactly what he needs. It just might be the jolt of electricity that motivates him to get his act together.

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

Miley was a shy and quiet girl stayed to herself and didn’t really have much. She didn’t have family her adoptive parent have both passed and she doesn’t want to believe she has family in the friends she has. Miley has been through a lot with her ex boyfriend she has a hard time trusting people. Will is the playboy of Mason Creek, never wanting to settle down and always finding someway to mess things up in his life. Ever since his dad passed away he lived at home and just cant seem to get his shit in order. But in a dark corner at Will’s brothers wedding these two were found locking lips and its been all Will can think of since then. Is that kiss the one that tamed the playboy and brings out the wild side of the shy girl or will it be the complete opposite. This book was so cute and the more i thought i was going to dislike Will the more i actually started loving him.

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

Cole Jackson Mason Creeks biggest playboy around loves to joke and push everyone’s buttons. But he will protect, and give you the shit off his back if you needed it. Joey flew from Georgia to help her sister Charlee when she gave birth to her daughter, being there to pick up all the pieces back home after Charlee’s failed wedding but it lol worked out in the end she got her happily ever after and now it was Joey’s turn. Having a bad day Joey found herself in the bar drinking her dream apartment just fell through, she’s tired of making sure she don’t walk in on her sister loving on her husband again, Cole was there and offered her to move in with him. Thinking it was going to be easy to have a super cute roommate and nothing was going to happen, but it turned out to be a lot harder then either one of them thought. Will these two let their feelings get to them and give into temptation or will it seriously just be a friends living together no strings attached situation. OMG not only do i love Mason Creek and want too live there I’m in love with Cole Jackson, this is an amazing story and i just ugh love it words can’t decide how hilarious it is.

Leave a comment

Is this the end of the Hallow family?

The Hallows have been exiled from their home and the cell towers that sustained their income are burned to the ground. Their only hope rests on Caleb and Joshua who fly to Tokyo to plead for their contracts with LunaBit, the app company they work for. The night before their big meeting, Joshua is drawn to a blonde at a bar. After a night of amazing, sensual sex, he wakes up alone, bearing the mating mark of his ancestors, similar to the ones his six brothers already share with their mates.

When the brothers finally meet with Maya Johansson, LunaBit’s Vice President of the North American Division, Joshua discovers she is the woman who was his bed the night before. Maya holds secrets of her own, which includes being aware of what the tattoo she now bears means. She demands that Joshua returns to Los Angeles to negotiate the family’s contracts with LunaBit. Joshua agrees, willing to do anything to protect his loved ones in Minnesota. However, can he withstand a fabricated marriage, tension with an ex-boyfriend, and a new father-in-law that is pure evil incarnate? And can he save the Hallows home before they all fall to the vampires who want them dead?

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

 I have loved each story of each of the brothers and enjoyed what NEW story line they bring to the overall arc of the series.

Josh and Maya were certainly a good read.  Josh is the last single brother, and he is all about not settling down.  When a one-night stand turns into ever after…he is not so thrilled initially with his mate.  Josh teases his brother Cay about having one woman for the rest of his life when he gets to enjoy the single life while they are in Toyko.  The family’s gaming apps are in trouble with the owner, and they are being called to headquarters to deal with the mess ups.  Cay and Josh goes for a quick drink when all of a sudden he mating signs show up.  Cay laughs his butt off because he knows what’s going to happen.

Maya needs to cut loose.  Being the VP of the gaming company is cutthroat business especially when a ex is a rival for her job.  Chaz is trying to make Maya look incompetent so he can take her job.  Maya sees the tall dark rink of water and says yes to one night.  When she wakes up with the tattoo her behavior and reaction isn’t what Josh expected.

Maya does he best to keep Josh at bay, but the bond is too much. When she comes clean about who she is and who her family consists of, yup another awesome addition to the crazy Hallow family.  Maya and Josh go through a lot to make things work and find a way to be together they can both be happy with.  Throw in vampires, not so nice dad’s, demons, and ya know orphans the story takes you on a great journey.

I absolutely LOVE this series and cannot wait for more!!!  Plus I would like to add that more Joe is always good and this book had some Joe scenes to make this girl happy. #TeamJoeForever!!
