#WOTR #AttendingAuthor #PartofaSeries With Us (Next Generation 2) by J.M. Walker


-Shade-

She was young.

Sweet.

Feisty.

But then there was him.

We had been best friends for years. We lived together. Rode together. Shared women. Together. And it still wasn’t enough. Not for him and especially not for me.

-Sunny-

He was mine.

I was his.

She was ours.

Meadow Rodriguez strutted into our lives and looked at us like we were all that mattered.

While I wanted to dominate her, he wanted to submit, and she wanted both.

I took control, giving her everything she needed and at the same time, grew closer with Shade. My best friend. My partner. My life. Although we were close, there was still a wedge between us.

I was terrified to give him what he needed.

My heart.

-Meadow-

Sunny was intense.

Shade hid.

I was new.

They were in love but wouldn’t admit it.

Guilt resonated on Sunny’s shoulders.

The weight of Shade’s feelings rested on his.

And I was the glue that would bring them together.

But little did I know, that I would end up falling in love.

With both of them.

I was giving this book and this is my honest opinion

Meadow was always looking for something more she’d always wanted more in life especially in the bed room. Her current fling was just to help her friend out so he would leave her relationship alone, and they just both happened to be bored. Once they finally called off their thing her and the girls decided they needed a night out, so they went to this hole in the wall bar and there she seen all the bikes lined up against the building and this one caught her eye she waited until her friends had all gone in before she went over to admire the beautiful machine of horse power and speed. When a man scared her half to death she noticed his gorgeous eyes and that he was half her age but she didn’t care at all. One thing lead to another and Meadow was sitting on his friends lap and they were flirting like crazy all three of them. Magic happened the fates were alined and this trio knew that they were meant to be together they felt it in their heart, body and soul, their sex was rough, hot and sexy as ever. You definitely need to read this book it will have you pulled in and begging or panting for more these three are super hot and work so well together on their roller coaster of a relationship.

#WOTR #AttendingAuthor #PartofaSeries Just One Touch (Oh Tequila Series Book 3) by CA Harms


I should have known this would happen…

Nothing about my fraternity was ever simple. Parties, tequila – tons of tequila – and wild souvenirs from our kind of crazy.

Never, and I do mean never, did I expect my brother’s girl to target me in a midnight prank. A prank that backfired and left me squealing in pain.

Have you ever seen those shows, the ones that say the “dirty deed” sent you to the ER? Well, I went to the ER, and yes, my manhood was involved. Let me just say I gained absolutely no pleasure from it. Unless, of course, you consider that sweet nurse who treated me.

The problem? She hated me…and I had no idea why, but I wasn’t willing to let her walk away until I figured it out.

Emelie was feisty, and I’d never felt the type of excitement I did after spending only five seconds in her line of fire. I was gonna enjoy this…way more than I should, and I knew it.

She saw, she conquered, and I was defeated.

All it took was just one touch, and oh, what a ride it was.

I bought this book and this is my honest opinion

after drinking way to much too much tequila Clayton found himself waking up in the middle of the night having to pee but finding his hands were super glued together. once he figured out how to get outta bed, open the door he next challenge was how was he going to pee so he went to sit down only to get himself pinched between the toilet and the lid and well for a man thats not a good feel and he ended up in the ER. the one nurse he never thought he would see was Emilie and she hated his guts and he had no idea why. Emilie hated most men didnt trust them at all after one night of being a careless college student that night let her to 9 months later having a cute baby boy and basically being on her own with the help of her best friend. after a prank gone off on Clayton he went to the laundry mat to wash his sheets were he came face to face with a cute little guy and then he seen Emilie following him, holy crap she has a kid was all he thought. Does the fact that Emilie has a kid scare Clayton away or does she drop her walls that most men have forced her to build over the past two years to keep herself from getting hurt or even having her son get hurt.

#WOTR20 – #Review – Sunken Empire (Saga of Evanescent Realms, #1) by Brandy Slaven

Sunken Empire (Saga of Evanescent Realms, #1)

When Rubi finds herself out on a singles cruise headed for the Bahamas, she can’t help but to wonder how her life has gone so horribly wrong. Many speed dates later and one drunken night on the deck sends Rubi head over heels, literally. She finds herself in the cold water of the Atlantic watching the boat she was cursing not long ago, sail off into the distance. Stranded in the middle of the ocean, she knows it’s only a matter of when she dies, not if. When three gorgeous identical strangers show up out of nowhere, Rubi is certain she is drunk and hallucinating. As they whisper dark promises in her ear and drag her into the dark abyss, she says goodbye to her pathetic life. Little does Rubi know, she is about to be thrust into a world full of magic, centuries old prophecies, sea monsters, and mermaids.

Love me some mermen! I love the premise of this story! Rubi is a hot freaking mess. She is on a singles cruise, gets a bit tipsy, and falls off the ship. She has chalked it that she is going to die. She wakes up in a swanky room with three incredibly handsome men. She thinks she had a crazy one night stand and is still on the cruise ship. Oh the things she feels and how she reacts to finding out that the three handsome men are actually cursed meren….and her mates….and then finding out about her true past! Oh the list goes on and on. She is the hope for these mermen to break the curse and bring life back to their realm. Then she realizes just how comfortable and at home she is. She is to be their queen, but has absolutely no queen-ish mannerisms. She is an absolute riot! Her hunky mermen all have crazy different personalities and each one worships her like the queen that she is. You really get to see their love for each other when other characters are introduced. 

I was immediately sucked in with Rubi and her sarcasm. Then there are the three Z’s (the handsome mermen) and their crazy different personalities with all of their hotness. Smush this all together and you have a wonderful new world, full of intense love, laughter, and some hawt sexy time. Oh, and don’t let me forget the action. There are monsters out there that are full of hatred and nastiness. The battle between good and evil is never ending. I love how this story ended and am looking forward to the next in this series.

#WOTR20 – #Review – Soul Redemption (Death’s Kiss Book 2) by C.J. Pinard

Soul Redemption (Death's Kiss Book 2) by [C.J. Pinard, Book Cover by Design]

Faced with unthinkable changes, Nolan Bishop seeks to come to grips with his new version of mortality. While his relationship with Charity Sheridan was already rocky, he’s now facing a whole new set of challenges as they continue to try to find a balance to the love that has just begun to blossom between them. Meanwhile, her twin Eva has violent vengeance on the mind, and the succubus won’t settle for anything less than Nolan’s ultimate demise. Heading back to New Orleans at the request of the BSI, Nolan will have to face Joel Reichert, the old vampire whose oldest friend is now dead because of him. But is Joel really an enemy?

A new, young friend in the Rebel Riders group gives Nolan a much needed reprieve from the stress of his new way of life. While Archie and the Riders don’t really know the full extent of Nolan’s new problems, he continues to hide the horrific things he has to do in order to stay alive. Will Nolan come out better than he was before Eva tried to take his soul, or will he crack and break under the pressure once he realizes what the succubus has really done to him?

“You better become good with weird, dude, because weird is the new normal where you’re headed.” I couldn’t have said it better. 

Soul Redemption starts right where Soul Rebel left off. Nolan and Charity haven’t had much time together and they are still learning about each other. Nolan is not feeling like himself. He thought they broke the Succubus curse, but maybe not. As Nolan is trying to figure this out, he goes on a ride with the Rebel Riders to check out some moonshine making vampires in the bayou. He finds that he has some things in common with Kovah, one of the Rebel Riders. Between dealing with the possibility of having vampire traits and having a new love with Charity, Nolan can’t seem to catch a break. After another unexpected trip to New Orleans, this time with Kovah, Eva rears her ugly head to Charity and then things get crazy. 

Very similar to the first story, this is fast paced with great camaraderie for some fun times. There is never a dull moment with this story. I did not see the turns that the story took and it kept me on my toes. The banter between Kovah and Nolan is great and I absolutely loved being able to get to know Kovah better. And the end! OMG the end! I just can’t even begin to give you a hint on how this ends without giving it away. By the time the story was over I was beside myself and in need of more!

#Review – Buy Me (Mistress Auctions, #1) by Alexa Riley

The Cortez men have found the one, and they’ll do anything to own her…including buying her.
Their obsession has driven them to the point of deceit, but they didn’t get to where they are today without getting their hands dirty to get what they wanted, and they’ll do anything to have her.
Stella is desperate, and selling her virginity is her only option to save the family land. The Mistress Auction is her last hope, but when she sees the two men who buy her, she’s worried her heart won’t make it through the thirty days.

Twinsie Jo’s Review

Well this story was fun! I was looking for something short and hot to read. So I went through my list of favourite authors who write the shorties and came across this one. And it’s a menage! Even better!

The Cortez men were on fire! They grew up together and end up being business partners as well but they were missing something. A woman.

Stella was desperate to make ends meet when it came to her father. Having a gambling problem led his daughter to the two men who swore to do anything and everything to have her between them. Literally.

This story is book one in the Mistress Auctions series. It’s fun, short, and spicy! Perfect for nights where you just want to curl up with a glass of wine and disappear into another world for a bit.

#WOTR #AttendingAuthor #PartofaSeries Just One Taste (Oh Tequila Series Book 2) by CA Harms

I’m the jokester, the one who pulls the best pranks. I’m the guy the frat brothers avoid for fear of what they’ll wake up to face the next day.

But now, the joke’s on me. Literally on me! In BIG. BOLD. BLACK LETTERS!

A tattoo…of another guy’s name. I was branded, and no one else can know.

The problem is I don’t know how it got there. Who the hell is Blake? Worst of all, why the f*ck did I have a guy’s name tattooed on my wrist to begin with? What could have possessed me?

I’ve done a lot of things, tortured a lot of my brothers, and I’ve loved every single minute of it.

I guess it’s payback.

The only things I remember are…dark hair, smelling of sweet honey, and maybe something floral, soft hands, and the sweetest laugh.

So tell me, how can I get from a memory like that to waking up in the back yard beside the pool, with a f*ucking tattoo? Of a dude’s name?

Oh, Tequila, what have you done now?

I bought this book and this is my honest opinion

Red has finally met his match, after setting his eyes on the pretty waitress at the local pizza joint he didn’t know her name just knew hat she was friends with his frat brothers girl Morgan. Cat was a normal girl didn’t go out much worked as much as she could and went to school, she had a rough life at home her mother was a drunk and her step dad took all that she earned from her paycheck to buy drugs and booze, she saved what she could without him knowing so at some point she could move out on her own. After getting her to go to the frat party Red knew he wasn’t going to let her get away from him, he had her sass to deal with and she wasn’t going to let him get her that easily but she knew that she was putty in his giant hands. May the pest prank win and who’s team are you really on. Red will do anything to make Cat smile and protect her from anything that would hurt her. I freaking love Red he is just a big ol teddy bear who would do anything to make his girl smile, and Cat you want on your side for the next prank to go down. These characters are making wish i had this when i was in college i love them all so much

#Wotr #AttendingAuthor #SeriesStarter Deranged a Hades and Persephone Story (Twisted Myth Book 1) by Monica Corwin

Since I was old enough to understand I knew I was worthless. A girl child when my powerful politician of a mother prayed for a boy. Someone to mold in her image. I stayed out of her way, until I couldn’t, and she made me regret every stumble, every misstep, every breath.

Like clockwork, she paid off doctors to drag me into a mental hospital at her most crucial career moments. I rotted behind cinderblock walls for six months at a time. It became my life…until I met him.

Ash. A one night stand in the back seat of his car turns into my only solace while locked away. He pretends I’m just another patient, until I force him to see me…the woman…Kory…someone who needs him more than anyone else.

My mother is a monster. I’m nothing more than a pawn. But Ash…he’s my salvation.

Hades and Persephone like you’ve never seen them. This is magic, this is menace, this is myth…with a dark twist.

I was given this book by the author for my honest opinion

When six months of the year Kory’s mom puts her up into a mental institution so that she isn’t in the way during her political campaign. One thing Kory’s mom never figured was that the doctor would actually look into her daughters past and figure out that there was really nothing wrong with her and there’s no reason she need to be mentally instituted. Until Ash came along he was a doctor that was going to look into all of his patients passed and try to figure out the real reason why all the past doctors would allow this to happen. It didn’t matter to him that Kory’s  mom was famous political personnel running for presidential office and had paid all the doctors to basically babysit her daughter. He was going to do what his rights were to make it his patient and get her out of the mental institution. But things seem to get tricky when lust fogs both Kory and Ash’s mine and they start falling for each other things get tricky and some might have to sell their soul to the devil. It’s over it was very enjoyable book not as dark as I thought it was going to be, but I really enjoyed it and it was pretty quick read.

#WOTR #AttendingAuthor #PartofaSeries Bantamweight (Hallow Brothers 5) by Tricia Andersen

Abraham Hallow would do just about anything to get out from under his oldest brother, Josiah’s, thumb. That includes performing as the Luchador in the local semi-professional wrestling circuit. He gets more than he bargained for when he hooks up with a woman with multicolored hair. The draw to her is undeniable. He wakes up the following morning with the ancient mark of his ancestors, mating him to the mystery woman he met the night before.

It was a simple mission—find the infamous Hallow brothers, kill them, and bring back the amulet. Kai’s plans get derailed after one night of hot, crazy sex with a mask wrestler. When she finds out the wrestler was none other than Abraham Hallow, the youngest of the Hallow brothers, she is exiled from the mermaid kingdom. Yet the orders from her king still stand. Can she deny her ever-growing love for Abraham, or will she fulfill her duties of killing him?

I bought this book and this is my honest opinion

Baby brother Abe is sick and tired of being treated like that a baby he is an adult who can make his own choices and when his big brother Josiah dont want him to fight like the rest of them he takes it upon himself to transform into the mask man so that know one will know he is actually a Hallow. After a fight one night he had his strange feeling and seen this beautiful rainbow haired beauty in the crowd, once back in the locker room the door opened and their she was looking for him well next thing she was pined against the locker. he never thought he would see her again well until the famous Hallow mating mark appeared. Abe wasnt sure he was ready for a mate but ready or not he had one and little did he know that she was actually a mermaid, so after the king of the seas had found out he wanted nothing more then to have Abe killed for marking his seer with his mark. Well crazier things happen when it comes to the Hallows fighting to make sure they are safe their mates are safe and that the world isnt coming to an end anytime soon. This was a great read defiantly wasnt sure were this was going when i first started it but i loved how it ended Abe was so thoughtful proved to his other brothers that he wasnt a little kid anymore and that he in fact had grown up.

#WOTR #AttendingAuthor #PartofaSeries Corner (Hallow Brothers 4) by Tricia Andersen


Josiah Hallow carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. Literally. Between keeping his family safe as the head of the Hallows, training his six younger brothers for their individual turns in the MMA cage, and guarding his mother’s amulet from the creatures who want to use it to take control of the world, his sanity is about to break.

Mating with the pure Sarah Merit, an overly-religious school teacher whose body makes every fiber of Josiah’s being stand at attention, could finally push him over the edge. Unfortunately, despite the all-consuming sex that blazes between the pair, it isn’t enough to convince Sarah to live with him so he can protect her, as well.

When Josiah learns the secret Sarah is keeping from him, he makes a deal with the pair of vampires who run the MMA promotion the family fights for in an attempt to save her. But will he be able to save her again when Sarah is kidnapped and taken to Josiah’s grandfather, Atticus, the vicious alpha of a pack of werewolves in Maine? And what will Sarah do when she finds out the sexy corner of the Hallow Brothers is a werewolf, too?

I won this book from the author and here is my honest opinion

When the weight of the world is forever on your shoulders the oldest hollow is finally getting his own taste of his medicine. After the tragic death of his aunts by two vampires, while at the church Josiah feels this strange pull that can’t be explained and then he see Sarah one of the aunts church friends who is by the book. He got into shoes as you could say but she has also met her match and Josiah, we need to get together disagreements are going to happen stubbornness is the main part of their relationship and some secrets that Sarah is holding. Decided I’ve been friends with her about being a werewolf and everything that goes on in his life the hell we handle it when he finds out that his mate is also a fighter. Find out what happens when Josiah who promised his father that he was going to take care of the family has to let go of the reins a little bit to help his mate fight for her life. I just love this family and the story and it’s hilarious to see Josiah get a taste of his own medicine is how stubborn Sarah is how she doesn’t back down from anything that he has to say.
