Betty Dawsey knows that breaking things off with Thom Lange is for the best. He’s nice, but boring, and their relationship has lost its spark. But steady and predictable Thom, suddenly doesn’t seem so steady and predictable when their condo explodes and she’s kidnapped by a couple of crazies claiming that Thom isn’t who he says he is.

Thom is having a hellish week. Not only is he hunting a double agent, but his fiancé dumped him, and thanks to his undercover life, she’s been kidnapped.

Turns out Thom is Operative Thom and he’s got more than a few secrets to share with Betty if he’s going to keep her alive. With both their lives on the line, their lackluster connection is suddenly replaced by an intense one. But in his line of work, feelings aren’t wanted or desired. Because feelings can be a lethal distraction.


Goodreads

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

Kylie is certainly stretching her writing and not letting anyone peg her into any category!!  After her successful Stage Dive series, she has blown us away with her YA story “Trust”.  Then she followed up with a contemporary romance “Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time”.  Now she is dipping her toe into a romantic suspense in “Lies”.  The one thing about Kylie’s writing that will always be present is her HUMOR!!  Lord, she is hilarious and snarky which makes me smile!!!

This story is about a couple who are on not really being their true selves.  Betty is not thrilled that her fiancé is a bit dull.  She deicides to roll out when she finds out a whole new side of Thom. Thom isn’t who he says he is and was using Betty as part of his cover.  His lies get her caught up in his business.

The story is face paced and they are so funny with the banter they both have.  The action keeps the story rolling right along until we find out who is after the couple and what will happen between them at the end.

The story was fast paced and a great romantic comedy meets romantic suspense.

#WOTR19 #TwinsieForTheDayBecky #Review – Twisted, Tangled Web #1 by Aleatha Romig

Leave a comment

The underworld of Chicago is far from forgiving. It’s a world where knowledge means power, power money, and money everything.

While I paid the ultimate price to have it all, it wasn’t my decision to give up my life.

That doesn’t mean I ceased to exist, only to live.

Going where the job takes me and living in the shadows, with deadly accuracy I utilize the skills inherent to me, not knowing from where they came, not recalling what I’d lost.

And then I saw her.

Laurel Carlson.

I shouldn’t want her, desire her, or need her, yet with each sighting I know she is exactly what I have to have. Laurel has the ability to do what I thought was impossible. She sees what others don’t.

My gut tells me that it’s a deadly mistake to change my plans and open my world to her. My mind says she’ll be repulsed by my twisted existence.

None of that matters, because my body won’t take no for an answer.

I’ve made dangerous mistakes before.

This time, will the price be too high?

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new dark romance bringing us back to the same dangerous underworld as SECRETS. You do not need to read the Web of Sin trilogy to get caught in this new and intriguing saga, Tangled Web.

TWISTED is book one of the TANGLED WEB trilogy which will continue in OBSESSED and conclude in BOUND.

Have you been Aleatha’d?

Review by Becky

You know you are in for a roller coaster ride when Aleatha is steering and a series called Tangled Web.  She won’t let you down! This review will not spoil the story.

Laurel and Russ’s relationship was friends with benefits.  They worked well together and trusted each other.  They had each other’s backs.  That is until the twisted story line starts with the fund raiser for their research and it’s benefits.  There’s more to Stephanie, Laurel’s assistant, than what Aleatha give us in Twisted.

Laurel’s hairs raised when she saw Kader at the fundraiser.  The magnetism between the two of them dripped.  Laurel’s neck hairs raised and her panties got wet.  There was something between them and Aleatha made sure you could feel it as you read her words.

Throughout Twisted, Kader continued mention “his mission”.  He never spelled it out. Never said it.  Until the cliff hanger!  Shame on you Aleatha.  Now making us wait.….hanging.…tormented.…   

Aleatha only has dripping hot, sexy men in her books and they all have stories that will twist you up. I have a mental note of Kader’s past.  I’m not going to lay it out there.  I’m going to see if I’m right.

If you haven’t been Aleatha’s yet, grab Twisted.  You will not be disappointed!

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

My favorite memory as an author thus far is completing two huge bucket list items which consisted of going to fan conventions and sharing Sausalito Nights with Chad Michael Murray [He is a huge inspiration and also a published author.] The second bucket list item was taking Sausalito Nights to Las Vegas and showing Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki that I did it! I finally published my first novel, and the pride-filled look on Jared’s face – because it was priceless!

#review – Dungari Rise (Alien Alphas of Pilathna #1) by Nikki Landis

Leave a comment

Dungari Rise (Alien Alphas of Pilathna, #1)

Synika was his mate and he didn’t give a damn if she refused.

“You’re going to be my bride. I’ll make certain of it.” 

Synika has hidden from the dominant alien race that conquered Earth 100 years ago in search of fertile females. She’s a strong-willed and headstrong woman who knows what she wants and it isn’t belonging to some Dungari male and auctioned off at the annual Choosing. When she meets Tuvari and their worlds collide, Synika is forced to confront her prejudices and decide if the Dungari male is her friend, foe . . . or maybe more.

Tuvari helped establish the first colony on Earth and works with the Dungari Bureau of Human Affairs. He’s a soldier and a warrior with a reputation, determined to keep his race from extinction. Strong, charismatic, confident, and sexy as sin he’s used to getting his way and exactly what he wants. Until he meets Synika. Tuvari has always believed his one true mate existed but could he dare to fall for a human?

Is it love, lust, or something more that draws the two together? In a world torn apart and ravaged by lies, can Tuvari and Synika move past the betrayal of a nation and find common ground?

Dungari Rise is first in a new exciting series of alien romances with heat, Alien Alphas of Pilathna.


Goodreads


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

YIKES!!  And WOWZER!!!

Tuvari and his people came to Earth looking for females.  They weren’t the nicest or sweetest of dudes that is for dang sure.  They were a bit arrogant since they are the top of the apex now.

Synika has been hiding from this culling or Choosing Ceremony.  Her brother has done a lot to shelter her from the world that they live.  However, she is taken to be part of a harem for a prince who is not the kindest of people.  But Tuvari sees Synika and he knows he needs to tread lightly. Her sass and fiery nature put his heart all kinds of wild.    He is a brother to the Prince and starts to do everything he can to protect an save her.

The book is very open to the brutality that Synika sees and it can be a bit difficult to read but the main character is strong.  She is able to over come and forge a strong relationship with Tuvari.

This book was hard to read at times but I really enjoyed the sci-fi nature of the book along with the dystopia feel.

Sabrina’s Seduction (Love Strictly Tested Book 2) by [Hague, Anna]

Desperate to understand my best friend’s choice to be a submissive to her Dom husband, I decide to study BDSM for my Master’s thesis in Sociology. The very thought of giving up control terrifies me…until my research takes me to a “play party” and I witness Cameron Terry spanking a sub. The striking Dominant’s unassuming power mesmerizes me, exciting me in ways I’ve never known possible while my sheltered and strict upbringing tells me this new desire is immoral. But when at last I plead for what I crave, I struggle on the edge of fear and bliss. Can I change who I’ve always believed myself to be?


Goodreads


Review by Becky

I received the book for my honest review.

I was new to Anna with Book 1 and thoroughly enjoyed Angel’s Collar.  You didn’t disappoint me with Book 2, Sabrina’s Seduction.

Reading how Bri came to crave and enjoy sex on the edge sucked me right in.  What separated Bri and her BFF Emma now had Bri’s girlie parts on fire.  A fire that was lit and taught by the infamous Cameron Terry. Sizzle me girlie parts… wow!

Emma had spilled the secrets of her and Jordan’s “strange to Bri” lifestyle.  And to who….Jessica a very hungry reporter. Bri knew all about Jessica and warned Emma if her misplaced trust.

Anna twisted us around as she told us all about Jessica.  As Bri became enlighten in BDSM by 

Cameron, Anna shows us to be open and non-judgmental in a lifestyle different than the prim and proper lifestyle.  Don’t knock it till you try it.. Oh boy baby did she ever try it and loved it.  

No spoiler here…..I know there’s more to the Cameron/Jordan story. I also know that I can’t wait for Book 3 to get the Jessica scoop.

If you want tingly lady parts or rising cheek color, don’t miss skip over Sabrina’s Seduction!

 

For 25 years, I’ve worked as a sports writer. I decided now was the time to pursue romance fiction as an author. I found a great group of RWA author friends who have helped me tremendously. 
I get great support from my husband, and although they don’t know it, my three parrots and dog give me a huge boost everyday.

#WOTR19 #Review #Paranormal #Shifters #Dragons – Wyatt:Discovering His Mate, part of The Black Mountain Pack Series by Miranda Lynn

Leave a comment

Wyatt : Discovering his Mate

Can the love between the last dragon shifter and a human save the world from a magical war? Wyatt had given up on love. As the last dragon shifter, he’s resigned to a lonely existence and the fact he’ll never find a mate. Protecting humans and fellow shifters from a rogue warlock faction will have to be enough. Natalie has always wanted more out of life. Being her mother’s caretaker in a small town with too many secrets isn’t the kind of glory her dreams have promised. That’s why she lives vicariously through her best friend — the daughter of a prominent warlock. That is until she meets a brooding and mysterious shifter destined to change everything. The last thing Wyatt wants is to put his mate in danger. Natalie never thought she’d have to betray her best friend. But if they want to prevent a war that could destroy their world, they’ll have to risk their love and their lives or watch everything they know and love burn to ash.


Goodreads

Amazon

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

GAH!!!  Wyatt has totally been someone I was lookin’ forward to reading since we were introduced to him.  I mean HELLO DRAGON SHIFTER!!!  Yes please!!!

The one thing I want anyone to know about this book is the FEELINGS you will get while reading.  Wyatt is so afraid to HOPE for a mate.  He is beyond numb to the Goddess giving him a mate since he is the LAST Pure Blood Dragon shifter in the world.  He has just thrown himself into helping his friends and packs.  He is over wanting and wishing and just realized he will be alone until his dragon loses his mind, at which point, he will be “put down”.   You can FEEL his loneliness in the story.

When the Goddess grants Wyatt his mate you can actually feel his anger and frustration at this gift of a mate.  He is so scared because any mate of his will be a target.  You can feel his fear and watch him push away this precious gift!!

Natalie, friends, she is AWESOME!!  I mean she is sweet but strong.  She is kind but fierce.  She will NOT be just a wallflower anymore to her friends.  She is starting to realize after being told she is fated to mate a dragon; she needs to be strong and confident.  A dragon needs a strong mate not a weak woman.

Again, friends….the anxiety of these two was so heavy!!  GAH the push and pull and the almost kisses were driving me CRAZY!! I was like JUST FREAKING KISS AND CLAIM HER WYATT!!!!!!

I can’t say enough about the story because it was probably my favorite story so far in the series and that is saying a lot because I am pretty sure Mack, my baby daddy, is not going to like hearing this news!!!

Seriously, if you enjoy angst, heart, more angst and just all out amazing chemistry, THIS IS A GREAT story for you.  Its also a great introduction to the amazing world Miranda has built with the Black Mountain Pack.

Side note: If Stephen doesn’t get a book next, I will cry.  His character was so much fun to read!!!

Mother to two boys, 3 four legged babies, and wife to a loving husband who doesn’t mind the extra voices in her head. Miranda grew up on a dairy farm in Illinois, but calls Portland, TN home now. She is an avid reader, coffee addict, and loves her day job working at the local public library. Though her true passion is in creating her own worlds, characters, and stories for her readers.
