Review by Twinsie Dee

Nova was working her ass off living on her on since both of her parents died. she was all alone no other family until one day a lawyer showed up on her doorstep and let her know that she actually had grandparents and they were not dead like she thought. her whole life was flopped upside down and she was told to pack up what she has and next thing she knew she was on a plane and in a car heading to a plane she never knew existed. with a bodyguard and a quarter in a mansion to wonder how much her parents actually told her was the truth about her family. with one of the bigger families’ males tempting her with his high standards, she’s getting fed up with being the new girl. will Nova be able to just make it through this year at school without getting into much trouble or will she find herself getting tangled with the wrong crowd in more ways than one.

 

Albany lives in Michigan where she’s happily married to her high school sweetheart. She spends most of her time juggling her four children’s extracurricular activities, with her nose stuck in a book. When not reading you can find her writing her very own book boyfriends. Albany’s passion is writing romance with real characters that are far from perfect, but always seem to find their own happily ever afters.

Waiting For It by [Allyson Lindt]

Anne
Crunch time.

Two words every game developer fears, and I’m living the horror of impossibly long work days, that bleed into weekends.

The only upside is spending a lot of that time with my sexy-as-sin boss. I probably shouldn’t get physical him, but the need for stress relief is real, and so is the size of his… desk.

Then word gets back to my best friend’s brother.

The guy whose house I practically grew up in. Who I thought saw me as a second sister. Talk about jealousy. Though I’m not sure if it’s toward me, or my boss. Apparently they hooked up a few times, too.

One thing leads to another leads to the three of us playing naked Twister without the mat.

Goodreads

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book and audio.

I was excited to read this book.  I mean what girl doesn’t love an MFM story with a side of MM??  *points to me* This girl does!!

Anne is lusting over her boss Luke.  She gets caught lusting over him after a kissing session by Chase who also starts to throw his hat in the ring for Anne’s attention.

The three of them have to figure out who is stealing company information and leaking it before their big game is released.  While they are working on the thief, they are also working on getting a relationship going.  A few bumps, miscommunications, and “what ifs” cause some drama for the three but they all know they want to make this think work.

I gotta say I was loving the history of Chase and Luke which made everything even better when they start to give Anne some eyes.  The story was a quick, steamy read for anyone who loves some funny banter and nerdy references.

Allyson Lindt has been telling stories since before she could put the words on paper. She was lucky enough to marry her muse and soul mate. Their cats are their children, and when they’re not spending way too much time gaming, they’re building new worlds together. She loves a sexy happily-ever-after and helping deserving couples find their futures together.

#wotr22 #ReleaseDay #ARC #Paranormal #MFM #series #Spinoff #99cents- Their Chosen Mate, The Night Shift book 3 by Miranda Lynn

A dominant mate, a loving submissive, and the woman who steals both their hearts.
Amelia decided a mate wasn’t in her future. However, her panther disagreed the moment he spoke. Their body came to life at Niko’s growly voice. When Miguel’s caring attention caused the same heat to build within her, she rebels against what fate has presented her.
Niko had no time for one mate, let alone two. A night at the club satisfied his needs when he needed to scratch the proverbial itch. He must let go of the stereotypes his prior pride taught him if there was any chance to accept his mates.
Miguel knew immediately that the bond between the three of them was an amazing, unique gift. His panther preened at the realization fate chose him for such a prize. He just needed to get Niko and Amelia to see and accept the connection uniting them.
Can Amelia overcome the scars from her life and accept the gift right in front of her? Can Niko soften enough to accept the gift fate presented him with? Can Miguel’s loving attention bring them all together once and for all?

Goodreads

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

Amelia, Niko, Miguel are a hot yummy story full of denial, love, acceptance, and full on brattiness.  LOL

When we first met Amelia, she was a mess. She had been bound and set to be sold in to trafficking.  She has been saved but still working on getting back to a more normal self.  She has become very close to Molly who was also with her in the cages.  When Molly gets lost in the jungle and Amelia also gets lost looking for her Niko and Miguel soon realize their change at happiness as a group will be lost.

Niko and Miguel had been “playing” together and both wanted more but were afraid of how they felt.  Miguel knew but Niko fought it.  When they both feel for Amelia, they have to confront their feelings for what the three could have.

Miguel was on board for having both.  Amelia was freaked out and full of her own trauma.  Niko was afraid to admit what he felt for them both.  The three have a lot of work and learning to communicate.  The guys also need to teach Amelia about the lifestyle they love. They need to get her motivated to want to try “things”.

There is a lot to this story between the growing love the group has, the magic being used, the bad dudes making an appearance, and of course people fighting the fates for what they love.  I loved the story and how this books moves the series ARC further. But Diego is still my baby daddy….sorry guys!! LOL

Book 3 Here –

Start the series –

Book 2 –

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 #NewRelease – In Between – An MMF Romance (Love is Love Series) by Andi Jaxon

I’m the preacher’s daughter.

Dylan is the punk son of the bigoted sheriff.

Julian the new kid in town everyone talks about in whispers and avoids like the plague.

Dylan and Julian shouldn’t want each other.

It’s dangerous.

This town won’t accept them and yet I run towards the fire because love deserves a chance.

It’s not just them that’s in danger this time.

They both want me too.

I crave them and all they can offer me.

But I can’t have them.

It’s wrong. Perverted. Immoral. And I’m a good church girl.

At least, that’s what everyone thinks…

Can we hide who we are from a town who’s against us or will we be burned by their hatred?

*This is Mary’s story and can be read as a stand alone but will be best enjoyed after reading Bully King. This is an interracial MMF story and will have triggering language and situations due to racism and homophobia. If you would like a list of triggers in this book, please visit www.andijaxon.com/trigger-warnings

This book. Man this book. It felt like going home. I love this world and these characters so so much.

In Between is about Mary, Julian and Dylan. It’s an MMF story and man, once the sexy times start happening, they’re highly explosive.

Now for the review: We first meet Mary in Bully King. She’s Jonah’s sister – if you’ve read that book, yay! If not, grab it now! – She’s strong and fights for what she believes in. I wish I was half as strong as she was when I was her age. It would have made highschool so much easier. Anyway.

Julian is the new kid in town but isn’t taken well, based on the colour of his skin.

Dylan is a local bad boy, who says exactly what’s on his mind and uses sarcasm to mask his emotions, since he doesn’t know how to deal with them in the first place.

Attraction blossoms between the three of them. Things start getting hot and heavy first between the boys and then once Mary is involved, wowza.

But of course, things aren’t all flowers and puppies as time wears on.

Someone wants Mary. Apparently he thinks her good girl act is just that, an act. He’s dangerous and the boys try and do what they can to protect her but of course, they aren’t always around.

One thing leads to another and the boys have to rescue Mary before things get really bad. I won’t say exactly what happens but make sure to one-click this story to find out!

Add to the fact that both Julian and Dylan are dealing with their own personal issues. Man, it was heart breaking to read. Andi sure knows how to write grumpy boys. I thought Roman from Bully King was bad. He’s a kitten compared to Dylan in my personal opinion. Don’t tell him I said that.

If you love MMF type books, be sure to grab this one. It does deal with triggering situations. ex. racism, homophobia, etc.

Andi Jaxon writes these difficult subjects expetionally well. I’m in awe of her and her bravery to take on something that unfortunately still happens quite a lot on this world.

If I could keep these characters safe, I would. If you’re reading this, know that you are safe with me. Always.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book off Amazon when it was free.

I grabbed this book because help TWINS…yes please.  I have also never read anything by this author and wanted to give it a try. I love novellas and this was also another reason the book appealed to me.  I love short, quick reads some days.  I’m on Christmas break and just wanted to try to read a few books by new to me authors.

This story is about Hunter and Maddox.  Two identical twins who are love ‘em and leave ‘ems util they meet Mykah.  Hunter and Maddox are stunned happy that this beautiful woman is interested in them both and would consider dating them and more.  They have been through a lot with women in the past and their family not understanding their “twin bond”.

Mykah has been though a lot with men in her life plus the fact she is a “dirty little secret” doesn’t help her self-esteem either.  She knows her extended family isn’t exactly in love with how she came to be born.

When they all meet thanks to a mutual friend dragging Mykah out for her birthday sparks fly immediately.  I liked the story.  It’s a fast paced story with an inst-love feel but hey I read romance for love so I will take it at any pace it comes.

So if hot men…errr twins at that, insta-love, hawt sexy times, and a passion to protect the new found love is something you want to read then this I treasure for you.  I admit book 3 sounds like something I might wanna dive into as well.

Shyla Colt is the sassy USA Today Bestselling author of the popular series Kings of Chaos and Dueling Devils M.C. This genre-hoppers stories feature three of her favorite things: strong females, pop culture, and alternate routes to happy ever after. Listening to her Romani soul, she pens from the heart, allowing the dynamic characters, eccentric interests, and travels as a former flight attendant to take her down untraveled roads.
Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, this mid-west girl is proud of her roots. She used her hometown and the surrounding areas as a backdrop for a number of books. So, if you’re a Buckeye, keep an eye out for familiar places.

As a full-time writer, stay at home mother, and wife, there’s never a dull moment in her household.
She weaves her tales in spare moments and the evenings with a cup of coffee or tea at her side and the characters in her head for company.

Twinsie Melinda favorite reads from 2021

Writers on the River Attending Authors: Mary Martel, Michel Prince and JM Walker

Its that time again we closed the door on 2021 and starting 2022.  My 2021 was a little crazy and I didn’t get as much reading in as I would have liked. It is hard to escape into books when things in real life are crashing around you. So instead of giving you my top 5 for June through December I decided to post a few of my favorites that I read this year.

#REVIEW – Here Loves a Sociopath: A Dark Bully Academy Romance (Here Lies Book 3) by C.L. Matthews

Here Lives a Corpse is book one of a five-book series. You do have to read all to understand. Each one ends on a cliffhanger.

Here Lives a Corpse – Oct 13th
Here Lies a Saint – Dec 8th
Here Loves a Sociopath – April 1st
Here Prays a Sinner – June 1st
Here Saves a Killer – July 20th

We all have demons, some of us know how to befriend them rather than defy them.
They always speak of me… whispers of a devil with a charming smile.
But they don’t know me, what truly lies beneath.
I’m a monster with the face of a boy, married to the darkness, harvested by the past, and saved by none.
My intentions aren’t clear, but the murky water my hopes died in is.
I’ll save her since no one else can.
She’ll hate the process.
They’ll run for their salvation.
The Vestige won’t take any prisoners.
Taking away her choices wasn’t intentional, tying her hands wasn’t permanent, but stealing every part of her that matters was always my goal.
In the end, I’ll demolish the meek castle they’ve built, proving that the fixer will always outwin the weak.
Screw princes and kingdoms.
The devil always played harder and smarter.
She’s mine, they’ve only forgotten their place.

Have you ever become so enthralled with a series and a group of characters, that you just feel like you know them and they’re your best friends and you just want to keep them safe from harm? Well that’s me with the characters in this series. While they are teenagers and I could be old enough to be their mother if I had them young enough, I just want to tuck them into my arms and hide them from all the crap they have to deal with. Like seriously.

When Cassie told me she was writing a reverse harem type series but with her own twist and spin on things, I was like okay. I don’t read a lot of RH books anyway but I knew that what she would write, would be beyond epic. And dudes, can we talk about mind being blown? I’m always in awe of Cassie’s writing. She grows with each book and this series, the way she paints the images in your head with her words, is something I strive for as an author myself. The details, although simple but smart and unique, leave you being able to see the scene likes you’re watching it play out on screen in front of you. I’m simply in awe right now.

I knew that by the time I was done book one that Bridger would be my favourite and I couldn’t wait for his story. So when Cassie said that his book was number three, I was beyond excited to read it and she didn’t disappoint.

You do have to read these books in order to get the full feel of the story as there are so many layers to each character that get slowly peeled away like layers of an onion as we get deeper and deeper into the story. I can’t wait for this series to be done and to read these books back to back.

While we learn more about each character in this book, we are of course left with more questions but I trust Cassie to give us all of the answers when her and her characters are ready. There are so many twists and turns and I can’t wait for the next book!

Oh and that certain scene with the 5 of them…wow. Just wow. I won’t go into details but trust me, you all need to read this series. This is hands down my favourite series of Cassie’s and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.

#wotr #attendingauthor Dirty Crown by Mary Martal

I always held hope that the day I left the compound would be the day I found freedom.

I was wrong.

My future had never really belonged to me. My father laid claim to it the day I was born, and I had been a stupid, naïve girl to wish for anything different.

As the heir to my father’s immense empire, my crown sits heavily on my head as I navigate my way through dealings with the criminal world while trying to stay alive.

Unfortunately for me, my crown and my hands are forced to get dirty along the way. Thankfully, I’m not expected to do it alone. Roarke, my deadly bodyguard who’s been by my side since I was six, is my shadow and always will be. I also now have Alessio, the cold, tattooed hottie, Roman, who conceals everything with fakeness that comes far too easily for him, and the alluring but sweet brothers, Tito and Enzo.

When bullets start flying, and people begin dying, my five guys not only stand behind me as the queen of their empire, but they also prove they have every right to be there by getting their hands just as dirty as my own.

Dirty Crown is a full-length, standalone reverse harem novel. This book is recommended for readers 18+. It contains sexual situations, swearing, violence, and some dark themes. It also contains MM as well as MFM.

Review by Twinsie Dee

I was giving this book for a review and this is my honest opinion

Valentina has been locked away along with all her other siblings in her fathers compound but now is the day she’s going to learn the family business. After watching her grandfather get shot in front of her by her bodyguard, and learning that she had a  grandparent that she just learned about and now he was gone of course story of her life first her mother had passed and now her grandfather. Now she was locked in a suite with 4 new guys she just met and her bodyguard. Valentina was going on her first appointment with the Russians to do a trade well when the deal goes south, her father gets killed and now she’s in charge. How far will Valentina go to get her crown dirty and with her men at her side this new queen could be unstoppable…. OMG I freaking loved this book well I love everything Mary writes but omg this one amazing. The hot steamy scene were just right  and the men were just the right amount of sexy and sweet. Plus Alessio is my man I love him and his #restingdickface so much

Mary Martel was born in West Michigan and spent the majority of her life there. She currently resides in North Dakota with her husband, and her two beautiful daughters. She’s an avid reader, and when not writing she can be found with her nose stuck in a book.

#REVIEW – Red Hunted: A Ménage Romance Duet (Subscribe, Live, Love Book 1) by Allyson Lindt

Fiona’s dabbling in kink with her best guy-friend and a sexy-as-sin stranger. Learning to let go has never felt so good.

Fiona’s tech startup is hovering on the verge of collapse.

Her best friend, Parker, has a solution. His travel vlog is competing to be the internet’s next big thing, and he’s going to promote her app on his show. She just has to accompany him during filming.

A road trip with her sexy best friend that includes some off-camera with-benefits action?

Fiona’s on board with that.

Especially when Wyatt, the gorgeous and dominant man they meet in a bar, offers to help Fiona and Parker explore their attraction to each other, and him.

Submitting to a filthy-hot hookup with two incredible guys?

Fiona’s fantasies were never this scorching.

Too bad Wyatt forgot to mention he works for the competition, and he’ll do whatever it takes to see Fiona’s app crash and burn.
I’m a huge fan of Allyson Lindt, even before I actually knew that I designed some covers for her or that she read my own books. I’m a dork when it comes to this stuff, so I fan girled hard. Lol! Anyway, onto the review: Fiona and Parker have been friends forever. Parker has his own YouTube channel and has become quite famous. It’s not overly Fiona’s thing even though she looks good on camera. The views love that chemistry, ya know? Fiona eventually agrees to go with Parker on one of his trips and they meet Wyatt at a bar. Wyatt is fun. Oh so fun. He’s dominant and the glue I think the couple needs, even though they don’t know it of course. Wyatt gives them a push, just a gentle one, and sparks fly! But of course, Wyatt has some secrets that eventually come out and it destroys what little progress he made with Parker and Fiona. This is book one in a duet and it leaves you wanting more! All I can hope for is that the throuple end up together!

#Review – Here Lies a Saint: A Dark Bully Academy Romance by C.L. Matthews

Being rich is great until you become the saint of Arcadia.
Gentleman.
Charmer.
All-star.
They call me a saint, but if they knew the lies, the fallacies,
and what truths I hide, I’d be labeled a proclaimed sinner.
I lie, do all the bad deeds, especially if it does right by her.
She’s the darkness but also the light.
He’s my downfall but also my redemption.
Two opposites, but somehow everything I’ve fought for.
Earning her, saving him, it’s all I can think of.
Saint or sinner, I’ll win her.
Death or life, I’ll protect him.
Truth or lie, I’ll save them.
Arcadia isn’t prepared for the war its wrought.
Good thing I’m a fighter.
No one said I’d bow down to an unworthy king.

This series is insane! This book is insane! Just when I thought I knew what was happening and who was the bad guy and so on, boy was I wrong! I think the only person I trust is Colt.

When I started this series, I hadn’t read a lot of reverse harem type books. Maybe one or two but this series is hands down my favourite. And we still get three more books!

This is book 2 in the Here Lies Series and I definitely recommend reading the first book. I personally don’t think it should be read on it’s own, so grab book 1!

There is so much lies and deception in this book, it’s unreal! And can we talk about the hotness as well? I first started writing this review before I was completely done the book. I was actually going to say that book one has way more sexy times in it but…I think they’re both equal. There’s a scene close to the end of the book, in a woods that is beyond hot. CL Matthews definitely knows her way around a sex scene.

I find that the more questions that get answered, the more we’re left with unanswered questions just the same. Which I’m loving! There’s secrets, a kind of who-dunnit feel and you’re left not knowing who you can trust.

By the ending of the book, I was holding my breath through the last couple of chapters, trying to figure out what was going to happen and hoping for the best that nothing would happen to the characters I had fallen in love with.

Definitely an amazing read and I can’t wait for book 3!
