#Review- The One Night by Meghan Quinn

Leave a comment

From USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a romantic comedy novella about the magic and misadventures of a one-night stand.

Recently divorced Cooper Chance knows he’s officially in a rut when his parents take him barhopping in the hope of resuscitating his love life. At first, he’s skeptical. How could a gritty dive bar possibly solve his problems? But then he runs into Nora McHale.

Nora isn’t at the bar looking for love. She’s there to unwind after yet another exhausting day at her bakery. And even if she were hoping to meet someone, it sure wouldn’t be Cooper—her best friend’s ex-husband.

According to the unwritten rules of romance, Cooper and Nora are completely off limits to each other. But after a fun, flirty night at the bar, they can’t ignore the wild attraction between them.

Is this the beginning of something real, or will their passionate night together be their one and only?

I haven’t read a contemporary romance book in years and any romance I have read lately, has been romantasy. We can thank Fourth Wing for that. I’ve given myself a challenge this year: To read 1 novella a week for the whole year. I’m so glad I started off with this one because it was so entertaining.

Cooper’s parents are adorable and had me laughing. They were simply the cutest. They’re trying to find a nice lady for him but he never expects to run into Nora. His ex’s best friend. But you can’t stop fate and what it has in store for you no matter how hard you try.

Cooper and Nora are a perfect match. They’re banter is so fun! I definitely wanted more from them. You can read more about these characters in later books.

If you want a quick holiday read that’s funny and sexy, then check this one out. It was definitely the palate cleanser I needed after all the horror books I’ve consumed in the last year. Also, this book had me actually laughing out loud. I can’t even tell you when the last time that happened was.

#Review #AudioBook – Getting Lucky: Tempered Steel – Vegas, by Maggie Adams

Leave a comment

Lawrence “Lucky” Coalson is on the track of the arsonist that torched his older brother’s construction company. The clues have led him to the Mississippi Flame Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Taking a job as a bouncer there, he hopes to find a connection to the vandalism or even the arsonist. What he finds is a blonde bombshell in a bit of trouble, so like the alpha male he is, Lucky comes to the rescue. But like a magician’s trick, not everything is as it appears.
Can Lucky discern the difference between lust and love when what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas? And is the Coalson family prepared to face the consequences of his actions?

Kelly’s Review

Just not that Lucky.

1st disclaimer, I wasn’t aware that this was part of a series when I started this book.

2nd disclaimer, I listened to the audiobook and had earbuds in and unable to stop the book (hands were busy), so I tried to keep an open mind while listening to the book.

Lucky goes to Vegas and is looking for a connection to the trouble that has befallen his family. While there he falls in love with Claudia. Ok, so we have the boy meets girl and of course she is part of the problem or at least bound up in it somehow. Now we bring in the BDSM club and things get really weird for me. I am not an expert by any means but nothing that happens in this club is very believable…at least to me. In my opinion, the narrator wasn’t that great for the story either. He wasn’t the guy for Lucky. Then the cliffhanger was huge! I just don’t know if I have it in me to explore this series any further but if I do, I will be reading it, not listening to it.

#Review – Come As You Are: A Gen X Romance (Bluebird Basin Book 1) by Jess K. Hardy

Leave a comment

She’s saving the family ski hill. He’s saving lives. Neither planned on saving each other.

At forty-six, Ashley Cooke isn’t looking for romance, she’s looking for a miracle. Her family’s Montana ski resort is one bad season away from closing, and desperate times call for desperate measures. Hiring a crew from the local sober living home wasn’t part of her plan, but neither was their six-foot tall, bearded and tattooed administrator.

Matthew Madigan knows about starting over. As a former rockstar and recovering addict, he runs his sober living home to give other men the second chance he once needed. Working alongside Ashley to keep her small-town ski hill alive stirs up feelings he thought he’d buried for good.

Between snowstorms, chairlift mishaps, and the kind of slow-burn chemistry that makes a Montana winter melt, Ashley and Madigan discover that second chances aren’t just for the mountain. Sometimes they’re for the heart, too.

Come As You Are is the first book in the Bluebird Basin series, a heartwarming, small-town romance perfect for fans of Virgin River, over-40 love stories, and series filled with friendship, family, and the kind of community you’ll never want to leave.

Content notes: Addiction, divorce, mourning the loss of a parent

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

This is not your stereotypical holiday Hallmark failing ski resort that is saved by a hot as hell rock star. Come As You Are is SO MUCH MORE! All of the characters, from the main characters to the each of the side characters, including the wonderful slobbery “rescue” dog, have so much depth that you will really feel like you are living the story. Madigan and the guys from Little Timber are addicts. They understand that once an addict, always an addict and no matter how long you are clean, you fight the good fight each and every day. Ashley and her family (mother and daughter) are trying to keep the ski resort afloat while feeling the loss of her father and dealing with her nasty ex-husband. When Ashley and Madigan start working together, they have a chemistry that is palpable! Absolutely electrifying! It is refreshing that these two characters are Gen X-ers and more mature than most other MCs that I am used to. They start their relationship with eyes wide open but still guarded. They both have their own obstacles and responsibilities that must come first, but as they learn to navigate what could be….well, lets just say that you must read this.

You can’t be where you are today, if you didn’t go through the things you did in the past. These two are perfect examples of it.

This book seriously has ALL THE FEELS! It is funny, steamy, heart wrenching, and with incredible friends…everything!

Instead of trying to make things work with him, I decide to have a one-night stand with someone else.
I try making it last for only one night, but my stupid heart gets in the way and I end up falling in love with him.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Strong, steamy, and classy novella about finding yourself (#Bramden).

Brady is made by his friends/business partners to take himself out on a date to just unwind and do something good for himself. While out, he and Cam have a “moment” that turns into a “MOMENT” (if you’re picking up what I am putting down *wags eyebrows*).  Well, Brady and Camden, Bramden if you will, cannot keep to themselves. Bramden just keep falling for each other. What started as a “MOMENT” is turning into so much more. Just like every relationship, there are obstacles….age, parents, exes….but hey, the heart wants what the heart wants.

JasperThe kitchen: it’s my domain, where I create the best burgers in the Midwest. I’m the man behind the grill at Burgers and Brew, the restaurant and bar I co-own with my best friends. Every night, we’re packed, the demand has never been this high. It’s the only way I want it, thriving and pushing myself to be the very best.

Then she started her new business across the street from mine.

The one woman who always got under my skin, who pushed me to be better. Lyndee was my biggest rival in school and my biggest regret.

Now, she’s in town, and as much as I try, I just can’t stay away.

I want her.

Lyndee

A new start: that’s what Stewart Grove means for me and my brother. He’s the one who pushed me to take the chance on opening my own bakery. I am ready for the long hours, the grueling schedule, and the hard work it will take to be successful.

I wasn’t at all prepared to come face-to-face with the man across the street.

An almost kiss in college with the world’s most infuriating man has haunted me for the last decade. Now Jasper’s here, and I don’t think I can resist him.

Things are about to heat up in and out of the kitchen.

I just pray I don’t get burned.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this audio.  I gotta start by saying I enjoyed the male narrator’s voice alot in the series.  I had a few issues with the female voice.  Several times I turned the story off.  Her voice was ok but she has a hard lisp and it made listening at times hard for me.

Jasper and Lyndee were a great read.  Book 1 is still my favorite and I loved that their story continued in this book but i did like the new couple.

Lyndee is such a great human,  She works hard.  She studies hard.  She loves hard.  She does all she can for her mom and brother.  When its just her and her brother they decide to move and start over.  She opens a bakery across the street from her college nemesis Jasper.

Jasper is not happy about Lyndee starting a bakery.  He immediately jumps to negative conclusions before even talking to her.  Stupid boys.

Jamison made me laugh because he could see his friends lust for the baker but his pride wouldnt allow him to admit it.  LOL  I am excited for his book too.

Jasper and Lyndee help each other out along with the rest of the crew.  Lyndee jumps in when the restaurant is struggling one night which makes Jasper appreciate her in a new light.  The couple slowly build a relationship which of course blows up due to a stupid boy…smh.

I did enjoy the story and cant wait for the next audio book,

#Review – Stealing Dallas (Search & Seek Book 2) by Amanda Mackey

Leave a comment


Fresh out of a stint in prison, Jagger Reed wants his life back…

Finally released from prison after serving only eighteen months of a twenty-year sentence, Jagger is excited to reunite with his disabled brother Dallas. With the help of Rosalind McAllister, the creative writing teacher at the prison, Jagger was given a full pardon and legal guardianship of his brother.

The fight to get his old life back has just begun…

When Jagger and Rose arrive to pick up Dallas from his temporary foster parent, Lena Radcliffe, they are horrified to discover she has moved out with no known address. Worried that his brother may be in danger, they enlist the help of the local police who discover Lena in Great Falls, Montana. Rose vows to help Jagger reunite with his brother.

Jagger is out for blood, and heaven help anyone who stands in his way…

Live or die, Jagger will find his brother so they can start fresh. But there’s more to Lena Radcliffe than meets the eye, and suddenly Jagger and Rose are in over their heads. They’re in the middle of something much bigger and more dangerous than a family dispute.

The clock is ticking, and they’re running out of time to figure out Lena’s motive for…

Review by Twinsie Kelly

The truth always wins in the end! While everything worked out and Jagger is released for the crime he didn’t commit, Dallas is missing! WHAT?!

Ok, so, I have to back this up a bit. I said this in the last review too, but I have a love/hate relationship with this series because some of what is happening because it doesn’t seem quite realistic or by the book legally.

**SPOILER ALERT**

Dallas is disabled and is in foster care but has been taken illegally across state lines. Jagger technically has custody of him and is freaking out. He and Rose take off to go after Dallas and his kidnapper. But so much of this seems off. And they end up going to house where Dallas is being kept. Jagger gets shot but the locals aren’t really doing anything. Personally, this seems like a lot of BS. BUT there is plenty of time for extremely hot sex for Rose and Jagger. And all of a sudden, the FBI steps in and BAM! Dallas is saved and everything is A OK.

**END OF SPOILER ALERT**

There are a lot of things with the investigation that were just not realistic which didn’t really sit well with me. It was a very heartwarming homecoming, but it just wasn’t quite enough to make the story great. This was more of a 3.5 for me.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Dying to find your soul mate can suck. But it can be so totally worth it!

When I first started reading I wasn’t completely sure if I was going to really like it. There was a lot of “you must believe in God,” “he has to believe in God,” etc. It’s good to believe in something. Well, I kept reading because the story was starting to get going. We are learning more about guardian angels and guardian demons. Then there is a little love triangle conflict happening. What?! There is literally so much going on that you have to keep turning the pages because if you don’t, you are bound to miss something!

Kendra is given a second chance at life but this second chance is with her soul mate… as long as she can show him love. She has one week. At the same time, she has to contend with her own guardian angel and demon, plus her family and friends.

This is an epic love story with a million roadblocks but when love conquers all evil, you never have to give up hope!

K. S. Haigwood is the author of the Save My Soul, Eternal Island and Moonrising series. By day, she is a CNC Machinist, but by night and weekend, she saves the world or destroys it in a single bound, depending on what mood she is in and if she has had her coffee. In addition to being an award winner for the ‘Life Changing Read Award’, she has also been nominated twice for Best Indie Book 2016 in the Paranormal category.

Characterization is one of K.S. Haigwood’s strongest points. You can understand each characters’ predicaments and you can almost foresee their reactions. But. There’s always a but, with this author, because Haigwood can deliver enough twists and turns to turn a tornado on its head. Just as you think you’ve figured where the story is going next, she’s duped you again.

The whole of her novels are littered with good chuckle moments, and even in the darkest hour, the thinnest hint of a silver lining is still visible among the clouds.

Shock therapy for body and soul, delivered at a hundred miles an hour with the humor and charisma of a trendsetter, Haigwood is certain to be hailed the new wonder-drug to cure all ills.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Being honest here, I have a love/hate relationship with this story. First, I have to tell you that I did purchase and read the second book. Right out of the gate, I was a tad turned off by Rose and some of her personality toward working at the prison. She is young and naïve, and I almost disliked her right away. I was intrigued by Jagger, and you know he didn’t do the crime, but he is quite a bit of a pain. Anyhow, these two meet in the Creative Writing class and almost immediately are drawn toward each other. The relationship between these two moves incredibly fast. Some of which seems quite unreal, especially since this is happening in prison. But, as I say this, the story is unraveling and keeping my attention quite well, even though I am a smidge irritated at some of what is happening.

The story with Rose and Jagger just proves that it doesn’t matter which side of the tracks you grew up on, sometimes you just need a little trust and a little help (sometimes from the most unexpected places) to make it out on top. Again, even though I had a love/hate relationship with Defending Jagger, I am thoroughly intrigued with finding out what happens to Dallas because, whoa! I did NOT see that coming!

Review by Yvonne

I read The Barter System when it first came out. I thought it was a fantastic story then but Shayne McClendon has outdone herself! Shayne has done something with this update that just blew my mind! I loved the original concept of this story and was wondering how she would improve on it. The new depths that she takes each encounter with the subjects just amazed me. I was so impressed with the way she rounded out each subject and showed us a little more of what Riya was thinking. As the story progressed I couldn’t wait to see what she would do with the next subject. Each time I thought ”Oh, she can’t possibly top that!” SHE DID!! There were a couple of moments that I actually yelled OMG!! I don’t want to give spoilers so all I will say is this is a MUST read!! You will never be the same after reading this story!

Shayne McClendon is the author of more than fifty published books and over five hundred short stories (and counting).

She writes heart-pounding romantic fiction as Shayne McClendon, thrilling paranormal romance as Sabrina Rue, and LGBTQ+ action-packed erotica as Charlize Rojos. She spends most of her waking hours writing in one genre or another.

In the summer of 2022, Shayne abandoned her ten-year hermit lifestyle to do a 12,500-mile writing road trip visiting readers across the United States and Canada. For the moment, she’s chilling in the Pacific Northwest.

She’s not sure she’ll ever go home again…but the stories are coming faster than ever!

Coffee consumption is too high, the amount of sleep is too low, but the words always feel just right.

If you’re looking for your next great read…you need Shayne McClendon! Her dramatic and erotic romances will grab hold and not let you go until the very last page.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

I must start by saying that the first book, Mountain Haven, is one of my favorite books EVER! I stumbled across it and when I picked it up, I couldn’t put it down. When I realized I could continue Lexi and Blaze’s story, I was ecstatic! Now, for Mountain Storm, Lexi and Blaze have started to settle into a sort of routine. Music is coming back to Lexi and Blaze has found a purpose with the police department. Ok everyone, the hotness level is turned up, waaay up! And waaaay fast! What I didn’t see coming was the twistedness that is twisted up within the guy that is all twisted. Gah, I just can’t with some people and the reasoning behind the things they do! The first book was a raging rollercoaster, and this book is more of a twisted pathway through a haunted forest. We are left with quite a cliffhanger at the end so I am desperately waiting for book 3 so I can figure out how I will attempt to describe that book, LOL! Dawn Love, you have a new stalker, er, um…I mean fan!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
