#NewSeries #romanticComedy – Loving Words, You’ve Been Gnomed book 1 by AJ Renee and Miranda Lynn

Leave a comment

 

A meddling gran, a protective brother, and a mysterious gnome in the Georgia mountains…

What could possibly go wrong?

Spending Christmas in the mountains with her family is exactly what Kennedy needs. Work has been stagnant, and Norina has always felt like home. But when her parents bail and her brother’s smoking-hot best friend shows up instead, her underwear goes up in flames.

For Jack, a quiet holiday retreat with his best friend’s family is just what his agent ordered, and the small-town, picturesque setting is instantly inspiring. Falling hard for his friend’s sister, however, wasn’t in his latest outline.

Their chemistry is undeniable.

Their timing couldn’t be worse.

As real life waits below the mountain, Kennedy and Jack must make a choice.

Cut their holiday romance short, or let it blossom into an unforgettable love story.

I received this book from the authors for an honest review.

I am a huge fan of both these authors so when they were talking about this series I was all in.  Both have great humor and write paranormal so I knew this would be for me.   I mean Gnomes appearing in a story…its gotta be amazing!

The book took a great change of pace when our love interest, Jack, was a romance writer.  I loved that he was defending what he writes and had crazy granny on his side to Kennedy.  (Crazy Granny made the book to be honest.  I mean she is what I hope to be when I am older.)

Kennedy and Jack definitely had a good chemistry.  They had some hilarious banter especially with Kennedy’s brother in regards to Jack.  I really enjoyed the start of the series but admit I was a little let down that the Gnomes were only in a smidgen of the book.  I really expected them in more.  However maybe they will appear in more with the other books in the series.

AJ Renee is a military wife and mother of three. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with her Master of Science in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.

She loves to read and write steamy romance with a happily ever after. When not working, you can find her playing World of Warcraft, board games, or outdoors for a run or hike.

 

Escaping reality one book at a time has been Miranda’s motto since she learned to read. As an only child raised on a dairy farm her creative imagination brought words to life. She devoured more books growing up than her little town bookmobile could handle. It was inevitable that she would turn from reading them to writing them. This is her way to help not only herself but others escape the day to day drudge. Her books may take you on a journey through time, give you a look inside a fantasy realm, or delve into the magic of almost anything paranormal. Threading in heart stopping romance and dropping an occasional super sexy scene just to keep you on your toes.

Miranda’s stories are focused around strong female leads and sexy males who appreciate them. She strives to encourage her readers that they can have it all in real life too.

You can find her most days either subbing at the local high school or tucked away in her office working on the next story with a cup of java in her hand. She loves connecting with her readers online as well as in real life so make sure to find her on Facebook and check out where she will be signing throughout the year on her website.

#Review #Audio – Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen

Leave a comment

Chaz Perrone might be the only marine scientist in the world who doesn’t know which way the Gulf Stream runs. He might also be the only one who went into biology just to make a killing, and now he’s found a way–doctoring water samples so that a ruthless agribusiness tycoon can continue illegally dumping fertilizer into the endangered Everglades. When Chaz suspects that his wife, Joey, has figured out his scam, he pushes her overboard from a cruise liner into the night-dark Atlantic. Unfortunately for Chaz, his wife doesn’t die in the fall.

Clinging blindly to a bale of Jamaican pot, Joey Perrone is plucked from the ocean by former cop and current loner Mick Stranahan. Instead of rushing to the police and reporting her husband’s crime, Joey decides to stay dead and (with Mick’s help) screw with Chaz until he screws himself.

As Joey haunts and taunts her homicidal husband, as Chaz’s cold-blooded cohorts in pollution grow uneasy about his ineptitude and increasingly erratic behavior, as Mick Stranahan discovers that six failed marriages and years of island solitude haven’t killed the reckless romantic in him, we’re taken on a hilarious, full-throttle, pure Hiaasen ride through the warped politics and mayhem of the human environment, and the human heart.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

Skinny Dip is hilariously incredible! There is never a dull moment during this story. There are so many characters, all well developed, and each one plays a very important part with the story. Every decision, twist, turn, haunting, cheating, discovery….all of everything, I was hooked. What am I saying? I am hooked! This is the second book I have read by this author and Carl Hiaasen is in my top ten favorite! On more than one occasion I sat here with my mouth open, shaking my head in disbelief at what just happened then laughed my butt off at the response! It is hilarious if you have a twisted sense of humor….like me! I love the hijinks and craziness. Skinny Dip is one of those stories that is a train wreck that you just can’t stop watching. You just know something bad is going to happen, but you can’t look away. OOOOOHHHHH, and poor Chaz. How this comes full circle for him in the end had me in stitches. Literally, I was laughing out loud. Let me tell you that it was the absolute perfect ending.

#Review #Audio Pushing Up Posies (Grim Dating) Book 1 by Eve Langlais

Leave a comment

Netflix and Chill takes on a whole new meaning when Posie starts dating the Reaper.

Poor Brody. As reaper leader for the Canadian guild, he and his crew don’t get as much work as other countries until the Dark Lord gives them a new mandate: Establish a dating service on Earth that will facilitate the meeting between citizens of Hell and humans with the end goal being babies.

In other words, become a pimp.

It’s a cruel demotion for a reaper who just wanted to guide souls to their final destination. He is dying to return to Hell, until he meets the stubborn woman living across the hall.

The Devil wants Posie mated, but she is resisting all attempts. What will it take to make her see the light?

And how will she react when she finally discovers that death has been knocking at her door?

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I read the blurb and was instantly intrigued. I listened to this via audiobook. The narrator was great! I usually have to speed the up the audio a bit but did not have to do that with this one. Brody’s and Posie’s story is great. Almost a grumpy/sunshine type of story. Both of them are a take no sh!t type of personality but cannot deny that there is a spark between them. However, the whole, “Grim Dating” really has thrown both of them for a loop. It’s funny with a lot of witty banter. I really love how Heaven and Hell with some of the Greek mythology has been weaved in. I had a little trouble getting started with the story. I was put off a bit with Lucifer’s daughters. I didn’t really get into the story until about 15-20% of the book when Brody’s story really got started. That first chunk is needed for backstory, and it is needed so that when Brody and Posie finally do bump into each other, all Hell doesn’t break loose, no pun intended, lol!

Hello, my name is Eve and I am a Canadian author who loves to write hot romance, usually with hot shifters, cyborgs or aliens. I should warn you that I possess a twisted imagination and a sarcastic sense of humor something I like to let loose in my writing.

I love to write, and while I don’t always know what my mind is going to come up with next, I can promise it will be fun, probably humorous and most of all romantic, because I love a happily ever after.

Thanks so much for coming by and checking me out.

#Review #AudioBook – Bad Monkey by Carl Hiaasen

Leave a comment

Now an Apple Original series from Ted Lasso Executive Producer Bill Lawrence and starring Vince Vaughn • A wickedly funny novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Squeeze Me in which the greedy, the corrupt, and the degraders of what’s left of pristine Florida—now, of the Bahamas as well—get their comeuppance.

“[A] comedic marvel … [Hiaasen] hasn’t written a novel this funny since Skinny Dip.”—The New York Times

Andrew Yancy—late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff’s office—has a human arm in his freezer. There’s a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig (it’s not called the roach patrol for nothing). But first—this being Hiaasen country—Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of wildly unpredictable events with a crew of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including his just-ex lover, a hot-blooded fugitive from Kansas; the twitchy widow of the frozen arm; two avariciously optimistic real-estate speculators; the Bahamian voodoo witch known as the Dragon Queen, whose suitors are blinded unto death by her peculiar charms; Yancy’s new true love, a kinky coroner; and the eponymous bad monkey, who with hilarious aplomb earns his place among Carl Hiaasen’s greatest characters.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

Bad Monkey had me in stitches! I listened to this book in audio and the narrator was perfect for this story. For context, we have had a lot of things going on at our house and the house is in complete disarray. I decide to pop Bad Monkey in my earbuds and listen away while I am taking care of business. On numerous occasions, way more than I could keep track of, I found myself smiling, literally laughing out loud, and shaking my head at whatever shenanigan or situation Yancy just got himself caught up in again. My husband thought I was insane (shhhh, I am a little on the crazy side, LOL)! I could not get enough of this story! I was absolutely hooked when I found out why Yancy was kicked off the force. His actions were not right but it was sooooo right. You need to read this so you understand. It makes complete sense! All of the characters are well developed and have so many different quirks. Even Yancy, as unconventional as he is, his loyalty runs deep and his love of the Key Deer is amazing! There is a lot of dark humor but it is a comedic delight! There is no shortage of witty banter but a true mystery, nonetheless. OH, and let us not forget about the ARM! The dang arm! Oh, you must read this to find out what happens to the arm! You won’t be disappointed, I promise!

One note. I have not watched the TV series, but I did watch the trailer. In the trailer it appears that Yancy hits the guy in a golf cart and sends him into the water. This is NOT why he is kicked off the force in the book. I would suggest a read to find out why, it is much dirtier…..go on. You know you are intrigued now, LOL!

#Review #Audio – One Hit Wonder: A Samantha True Mystery (Prequel) (The Samantha True Mysteries Book 1) by Kristi Rose

Leave a comment

Sometimes it’s not opportunity knocking, it’s trouble.
On the night of Samantha True’s first job as a forensic photographer she learns three things:

  1. Crime scenes are messy.
  2. Especially when you throw up on them.
  3. She may not be cut out for this.

When the police drag her to a second investigation, she’s just as baffled by the crime scene as they are. Why is the school lunch lady, Miss Trina, chained to a pole? Is this somehow connected to the robberies taking place all over Wind River?
Samantha might not be cut out for photographing blood-covered crime scenes, but being the daughter of the town newspaper man, she has plenty of investigating intuition. Besides, this is her hometown, and she’s not about to let it become ravaged by crime.
As the locals rally to help Miss Trina, Samantha begins her poking around and uncovers sinister dealings, causing her to question everything–and everyone–she knows.
Her small town is full of shadowy secrets. And she might be happier staying in the dark.

A laugh-out-loud mystery that will keep you guessing and quickly turning the pages. One Hit Wonder offers the just right reader escape, but fair warning, this book leaves readers wanting more.

Warning: May cause spontaneous laughter. This mystery offers witty banter, characters you’ll want to be friends with, and is a perfect escape to the Pacific Northwest. Laughing out loud in public may cause curious glances from strangers.

This book is a 2-4 hour read. Depending on your speed and interruptions. This book doesn’t haven’t to be read in the series order and takes place 10 years prior to ALL BETS ARE OFF.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I read the blurb and immediately was intrigued. This is the first book I have listened/read by this author so I thought I would give the prequel a whirl. I was pulled in pretty quickly. Samantha is called to an accident crash to take photos, but she hadn’t been feeling well and ends up vomiting while on the call…This was my first funny because it’s something I could totally see myself doing, LOL! The next scene really gets under your skin and pulls at your heart strings. The plot thickens! There are lots of secrets and random tidbits that come up which don’t always add up. One of the things that I had difficulty with the main character, Samantha, is that she was explicitly told several times that she took the photos for the police and she is not to discuss the case with anyone. But she immediately talks to her reporter father and her best friend. It seems like she just blabbed about everything. It drove me nuts! However, it didn’t ruin the story for me. The ending wrapped up pretty perfectly and had me in stitches! I am going to give the next book a try and see what happens later in Samantha True’s life. 😊

#Review #Audio – Tattoos and Clues: Paranormal Cozy Mystery (Mitzy Moon Mysteries Book 2) by Trixie Silvertale

Leave a comment

A beachside stroll. A deadly discovery. Will this psychic sleuth swim or sink?

Mitzy wishes she could turn a blind third-eye to her hit-or-miss powers. Instead, while taking her fiendish feline for a walk, they make a stomach-churning find on shore. Despite her loss of appetite, she can’t help but get a closer look at the unique ink etched into the corpse…

Before she can track down the killer, Mitzy must sweet-talk her way off the sexy sheriff’s suspect list. And once again her meddling Ghost-ma is dying to interfere with the case. But when the trail leads to dangerous smugglers who shoot first and don’t ask questions, she could end up in over her head…

Can Mitzy uncover the truth, or will hers be the next body to float to the surface?

Tattoos and Clues is the second book in the hilarious paranormal cozy mystery series, Mitzy Moon Mysteries. If you like snarky heroines, supernatural intrigue, and a dash of romance, then you’ll love Trixie Silvertale’s twisty whodunits.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I listened to this via audio. Right at the beginning, I wasn’t sure I was going to like the book because Mitzy had a man in her bed that was not Erick! Sorry for the spoiler, but you have to read the story! While out taking Pyewacket for a walk, Mitzy finds a dead body. I swear if there is a corpse, Mitzy is going to find it! The thing with this one is, the corpse is closer to the family and she is asked by Odell to look into things. Now she has to unravel tons of secrets but some are even from her Ghost-ma! ….sigh…. I love how she has wriggled her way into the town’s hearts and has become one of them. She literally went from having no family to having so much family that it will fill your heart. But let’s not forget about all the banter between Mitzy and Sheriff Erick, haha! Silas, her attorney, has really stepped up in this book. His character is almost like an uncle of sorts. He has some funny quips that made me chuckle. I love having him around. The twists in this story definitely had me yelling at Mitzy and at the same time rooting for her all the same. I am digging her sleuthing and have the third book loaded and ready to go!

#Review – The Edge of Evil: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel: Good to the Last Demon, Book 2 by Robyn Peterman

Leave a comment

What happens in Vegas, slaysin Vegas.

With a show to produce and my career as an actress on the line, I really don’t have time to die—especially violently. However, while that might not be on my agenda, it seems to be on other’s.

Awesome.

Instead of acting in my latest endeavor, I’m playing the real-life role of Reluctant Demon Who Has To Save The World—or at the very least, the hot hero.

Fine. I’m always up for a plot twist or a re-write.

Scene One— Save Abaddon from the evil clutches of the hideous Pandora.

Scene Two — Don’t die.

Scene Three — Avoid Pandora like the plague. I understand she has an evil box…

Scene Four — Do not die.

Scene Five — Possibly meet my mom, the woman who abandoned me as a baby.

Scene Six — Do Not Freaking Die.

Scene Seven — Go back to my non-deadly life and win a damn Emmy for Ass The World Turns.

Even though I’m living on the edge of evil, half insanity, half upheaval, I’m a pro and the show must go on.

As the saying goes, a bad dress rehearsal means I don’t get dismembered on opening night. Or something like that.

It’s showtime, folks.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more outrageous, I was proven wrong! Buckle up, Buttercup! Meeting Candy Vargo was the highlight of this trip! If you want something serious, just walk away now. This isn’t for you. If you want something that is going to continue to keep you on the edge of your seat to see what the next off the wall, silly, wonky, ridonkulous thing that Ms. Peterman can put these characters through, then keep on keepin’ on! This rag tag bunch seems to be loyal to a fault, Cecily is really coming into her powers and showing that she isn’t going to back down, but we still get all the follies that I enjoy so much!!!!

Lovin it!!

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

This was such an entertaining story! The author did an incredible job keeping things interesting but lighthearted with the right amount of wit, sarcasm and snark while the main character is being investigated for murder. I listened to this in audiobook and the narrator did a phenomenal job!

This is a fairly quick listen so I imagine that it would be a good read as well. The story moves at a great pace so you are not left waiting for things to happen or catch up. Mitzy always thought she was an orphan and then one day she was left money, an incredible bookstore, and found out she had family and others who quickly became friends. All while being arrested almost immediately for a murder (and you won’t believe who the corpse is!!!). She rolls with the punches as best she can and because of her stubbornness, doesn’t let the bad luck keep her down. There is a lot of small-town stuff where everyone knows everyone’s business, but at the same time a lot of those people become the family you didn’t know you had…or needed. Even after being accused of murder, having a ghost granny, crazy cat, potential love interest with the town sheriff that originally arrested her, and the family she didn’t know she needed, Mitzy is really finding that she belongs in Pin Cherry Harbor.

This is a super cute mystery that will suck you right from the start. I look forward to continuing the series and joining in on Mitzy’s misadventures!

#Review – As the Underworld Turns: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel: Good to the Last Demon, Book 1 by Robyn Peterman

Leave a comment

What does a forty-year-old former child star do when she finds out she’s a Demon?

A sitcom, of course.

Age is just a number unless you’re an actress of a certain age trying to make a comeback in La La Land. Back in the day, I was the child star of the hit show Camp Bites. Today, I’m still living it down.

After a disastrous soap opera audition and getting fired from a TV show for not having a bodacious enough backside, one would think I’d be smart enough to go into real estate.

Nope.

Just found out from the rudest, meanest, and hottest guy alive that I’m a Demon. The jerk, also a Demon, goes by the name Abaddon—Abe to his friends.

I call him Dick.

He’s come from the Underworld to protect me—insert laugh track—since there’s a bounty on my head. Dick is not a welcome addition to my midlife madness. However, he won’t go away, and now, he’s my new boss.

Fine. Whatever. All I ever wanted to do in my life was pretend. I can pretend to get along with Dick. I can pretend that I’m not wildly attracted to him. Not sure I can pretend I’m human anymore, or that a supernatural assassin isn’t trying to cancel me, but I’m going to fake it until I make it. Or I get killed.

As the Underworld turns upside down, so have the days of my life.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

Ok, so, I’ve read a few books by Robyn Peterman and I read them when I need something that is a bit over the top and is going to make me laugh. I, myself, am quite sarcastic with the humor of a teenage boy sometimes who will absolutely laugh at all the wrong moments. This is one thing that I have come to love about these books. Now, I have a friend that has not read a Robyn book and asked me what I was reading. I was trying to explain this one and it came out sort of like a former child star that was having trouble getting roles with soap operas found out  she is half demon, that there are flaming assassins from the underworld after her, a Demon who is trying to help her that she dislikes but really loves and she has now dubbed as Dick, a nude gay ghost uncle that loves to dance, has a brother that enjoys the jazz cabbage, and she just bough property in Straightjacket Subdivision. I mean, who wouldn’t want to read this? It is corny at times, it is hilarious, but most of all there is literally a midlife crisis here that most of us can absolutely relate to in one way or another.

If you need something snarky, witty, and that will make you laugh, I highly recommend this one!

Leave a comment

The final book in The Traveling Calvert Sisters is here!

Lily Calvert knows anxiety and panic attacks. As a former agoraphobic, she’s worked hard to make it so she can leave the house and have things like a job and friends.

When her boss sends her to an accounting convention in California, Lily’s lucky her sister, Peyton, also has the time to go with her. But Peyton’s antics soon bring more than just a flock of seagulls and some beach embarrassment. They also bring a garden-hose-wielding hero in the form of the local ice cream shop owner.

Soon, she’s helping the adorable Aiden with his business taxes and doing things she never thought she’d do. Never in her life did she think she’d go dancing or go for a steamy night swim in the hotel pool.

But is he more than just a fling?

Romanced in Redondo Beach is book 8 of a series of novellas, but it can be read as a standalone
