#WOTR19 #paranormal #Novella #NewRelease #Review – The Vampire’s Genie (The Wish Series Book 1) by Teresa Gabelman

The Vampire's Genie (The Wish Series Book 1)

One would think most genies have it made, but that’s not the case for Janelle. She hates the outfit, hates the lamp, and overall hates the gig. It’s not until hot vampire Dean Frye steals her out from under her current master’s nose that she thinks maybe being a genie has its benefits.

Dean has one thing and one thing only on his mind when he sends his friend on a quest to seek out a genie lamp. Freedom. Plain and simple. Then he meets Janelle, his genie, and realizes that granting every wish her heart desires is the only wish he wants.

Goodreads

This was a cute and quick read for anyone with a couple hours to kill.

Dean is a vampire who doesn’t want to be a vampire anymore. How is he going to be un-vampired? By getting a genie in a lamp to do it. When Dean meets his genie he is stunned stupid by her beauty.
Janelle is annoyed to have yet another master who she is sure will be just as self-serving as the last own her. When she starts to get to know Dean and his friends, she realizes they are not the same. They are actually pretty different which makes her nervous.

Dean and Janelle have feelings pretty quickly given that this is a novella. The couple have to deal with her old master looking for her, what to do about the emotions they are feeling for each other and the Grand Master is none too thrilled by Dean and Janelle’s love connection.

Hilariously over the top dialogue which you totally expect from Teresa in her stories!!!

#WOTR19 #CompleteSeries – The Secrets Series by Emma Shade

Book 1 Finding Obscurity  Book 2 Finding Clarity

Book 3 Finding Lily

Book 4 To Ashes  Book 5Conjurer King

Book 1- Lily Canton always knew she was unique.

After she loses everything she has ever cared about ten years ago, Lily decides its time to find answers about her past and why she has special powers. But when you can’t control seeing the future, and you hold enough electricity inside you to black out an entire city block, it doesn’t always make life easy.

She swore she would never care about anyone ever again after that fateful day so long ago. Then she meets sexy club owner, Ashton Ryder. Lily can’t afford to fall for Ashton. Then there is handsome, powerful, Blake Moore, who wants to help her with more than just her powers. She has to learn to trust people and let them into her heart, even as things spiral out of control.

Not only does she learn Ashton has a secret that will make her question everything she ever thought was real, but Lily finds out that her birth parents are anything but ordinary. Just when Lily thinks she has everything figured out, someone is determined to destroy her – because she isn’t supposed to be alive.

Book 2- Half vampire, half conjurer, Lily Canton might be the most powerful creature on earth. That is, if she could control her powers. Hunted for her unique lineage, Lily must learn to harness her abilities and fight off those who would manipulate her for personal gain.

Haunted by the memories of her horrific kidnapping, Lily struggles with her return to normalcy. If, of course, being an out-of-control conjurer could ever be considered normal. Even her love life is a jumbled mess. Ashton, the sexy vampire who first stole her heart, claims her as his mate. Yet Lily can’t deny the electricity between her and gorgeous conjurer, Blake. Both men will stop at nothing to have her, but only Lily can decide to whom her heart truly belongs.

The men in Lily’s life aren’t her only problem though. Con, the vampire madman, is out there somewhere. He knows her secrets and he’s hell-bent on revenge. When she’s forced into hiding, tempers flare, boundaries are crossed, and love will be tested. But there’s no place to hide when Lily’s mind becomes the battlefield. Con invades her thoughts and dreams, tormenting her with a deal that could mean death. Do secrets have the power to kill? How far will Lily go to protect the ones she loves?

Book 3-Some secrets can drive life to the edge…

Lily Canton is a powerful vampire-conjurer hybrid, running from the pain of her best friend’s death. Though plagued by indecision over her choice to abandon everything, Lily dives head-first in to the covert organization that aided her in the past.

Even though his deception led to Lily’s abrupt departure, vampire Ashton Ryder is determined to make things right and to bring the love of his life home. But the truth could destroy them before Ashton has the chance to make amends. Conjurer Blake Moore wants nothing more than to find Lily and win her heart once and for all. But even Blake has secrets with the power to destroy. Blake must find Lily before his past does.

Unbeknownst to Lily, a storm is brewing with her at the center. Carefully buried secrets will be exposed, rocking the worlds of vampires and conjurers alike.

Will Lily choose the man she truly loves? Or will the rising conflict between conjurers and vampires tear them apart?

Book 4- TO ASHES is the fourth book in The Secrets Series:

There’s a thin line between love and hate…

Beautiful, dangerous, and deadly — some powers are both a gift and a curse. For conjurer Paige Smith, hers are both. Leaving behind a past scorched to ashes, Paige struggles to make peace with her destructive powers. But when sexy and callous Alistair Ryder crosses her path, sparks fly and passions ignite.

To dark and brooding vampire Alistair Ryder, emotions are for the weak. Burned by his own past, Alistair will do anything to keep the alluring, smart-mouthed conjurer at arm’s length. Even if it means facing his own demons.

When a common friend goes missing, the two must work together to find her. Emotions will be tested. Faith will be tried. And truths will be uncovered.

Both Paige and Alistair have secrets buried deep within their souls. Can they rise above the flames of their tattered pasts? Or will their love be reduced to ashes?

Book 5-CONJURER KING is the final book in The Secrets Series.

A man who sacrificed everything…

Blake Moore gave up his friends to take back the crown as the Conjurer King. Even though he is the rightful heir to the throne, he never wanted it. The conjurers consider the vampires inherently evil, as they’ve been enemies throughout their long history, but Blake doesn’t agree with those beliefs.

He’s successfully avoided his painful past for months, but Blake suddenly finds himself shoved back into it when he agrees to help a common friend; a vampire insane from starvation. As rumors spread questioning his competence as King, Blake is tossed in a whirlwind of corruption and treachery. Not only is he fighting to keep his position, but a woman who is fighting madness, slowly creeps into his heart.

A woman with a broken past…

Carlotta Brown is anything but sane. Her husband’s death, and subsequently the reason for her starvation, haunts her memories and dreams. She finds herself locked in another prison cell, only this time, it’s under the protection of a handsome man who should be her enemy.

A forbidden attraction…

Both Blake and Carlotta need saving from their own situations. When everything comes crashing around them, they each have to decide if love is worth risking their lives for. Will they help each other in the darkest hour? Or will their attraction lead to their demise?

#WOTR19 #MM #NewRelease #Review #Cowboys – His Reluctant Cowboy by A.D. Ellis

His Reluctant Cowboy

Out-and-proud volunteer dance instructor, Reid Alexander, is a California boy accustomed to living in flashy luxury. He is less than thrilled upon inheriting his late grandfather’s South Dakota horse ranch. Yet he must endure three months of cowboy hell before he can even consider selling the property.
As the ranch foreman, Walker Corrigan’s entire life is Pine Ridge. When Reid arrives with cold-hearted plans to sell, Walker endeavors to endear the place to the younger man.
Reid is unprepared for the sudden attachment to Walker, the land, and – unbelievably enough – the horses.
Walker’s long-suffering heart takes an unexpected gallop straight toward Reid. Both men are on-board with exploring their relationship, and Reid discovers ranch ownership is more gratifying than he’d once imagined.
But Reid is forced to reconsider his place on the ranch when threats put the property and employees in danger.
Menacing events call Reid’s integrity into question, and he considers saving everyone the hassle and throwing in the reins. But how can he leave when his heart now feels at home on Pine Ridge Ranch and in Walker’s arms?

Goodreads

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

Reid and Walker…so night and day yet so perfect for one another.  Reid and Walker….so afraid yet so hopeful about the other.

I am not going to lie when I said Reid is a major turn off initially.  He is spoiled and privileged but once you start to get to know him….you get him.  The opening scenes with Reid, I was seriously about to punch him.  I was telling Norma Not to be nice to him…LOL

Walker is a seasoned rancher and closed off to love.  His heart is now all about the ranch and he hopes and prays that Reid will SEE the ranch for how wonderful it is.  He hopes and dreams of continuing life on the ranch and then his dreams turn to sharing that with Reid…..Wink Wink.

Reid is so out and loud and accepting of his sexuality that I did laugh at this “rancher serious clothing shopping trip” and following fashion show.  Walker is so serious, but Reid is the breath of fresh air he needs.  Walker is also what Reid needs.  Walker helps him find a purpose and ranching is that purpose.

The story was a great read. My favorite scene is when Reid discovers Walker is gay thanks to his rock hard erection…LOL    I totally laughed at the fact Reid bragged about his gay-dar and yet he missed Walker.

The plot with the person casing issues on the ranch was a great read and I think this story is a great read for anyone who has not read AD before.  You get an awesome story and a great look into her beautiful love story writing style.

A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised. She spends much of her time in central Indiana teaching alternative education in the inner city of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing school-aged children, and laughing at two precocious cats. A lot of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.
She loves chocolate, wine, pizza, and naps along with reading and writing romance. These loves don’t leave much time for housework, much to the chagrin of her husband of nearly two decades. Who would pick cleaning the house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her fluency in sarcasm.

#WOTR19 #Review #NewRelease #Mythological #Paranormal – Love and War, Gods of DC #2 by Tricia Andersen

Love and War (The Gods of DC Book 2)

Jealousy doesn’t look good on Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom. Escaping her half brother’s happiness, Athena takes a prototype military jet for a joyride. An unexpected malfunction crashes it in a Georgia swamp. She wakes up to find herself in the cabin of the sexy yet surly Mack Bradshaw, a tow truck driver who pulled her from the blaze but doesn’t seem to want her or anyone around him. The attraction to Mack is primal, a force she can’t deny. Can she fight the urge to have sex with him or will she give up being one of the three Maiden Goddesses and surrender to him? And what will the rest of the Pantheon have to say about her big, bad savior?
She literally fell from the sky. Mack frees the blonde from the burning wreck of the jet and brings her into his home despite his dislike of virtually everyone. When the fiery beauty is near him, she sets off an ancient need, one his bloodline calls to him to act on. Can she accept his true nature and be his mate? And when an ancient evil threatens to take her from him for eternity, can he partner with her family, the Greek Pantheon, to save her?

Goodreads

I received this book for an honest review.
Ok people you know I love me some Tricia so you won’t be shocked when I said this book was another amazing read. I LOVE how she combine the Hallow Brothers and this series together. Who knew Wolf shifters and Greek Gods could flow together so easily and yet they did.
Now you know I love me some Ares buuuuuuuuut wellllllllll look out for major brooding, utterly sexy Mack. He won my heart over even with Ares being the sexy man that he always is.
This story starts right after book 1 so Ares and Juliette are in a tiff and thanks to sister Athena they are working stuff out. Athena is a bit jelly of her brother and his nymph’s love but she knows that is never to be ya see because …well she is to stay a virgin…uhm yup you read that right. Guess what? I bet she doesn’t stay one long!! LOL
Athena crashes and lands in Mack’s backyard. The mating spell captivates the two and soooooon they are baring THE MARK. Hint that is why I said she won’t stay a Maiden Head Warrior for long!!
The two have a lot to get through. Ya know her being a God and him not believing it. Her being Zeus’s favorite kid and slipping off that pedestal plus there is a demon who wants to stir some trouble.
This story had me turning page after page after page. I could put it down. I loved seeing the two of them come together and then bounce apart while trying to figure everything out. I loved seeing Ares try to help his sister but seeing Aphrodite being in her corner shocked me…and Ares too!!
But serious Hades and Persephone need a book!! OMG seeing them in love….sigh…..made me feel bad for the star crossed lovers.

#WOTR19 #CompleteSeries #Family #2ndChance #Trilogy – The Cook Brothers by H. D’Agostino

Walking Among the Cherry Trees  1 Beyond the Cherry Trees 2 Before the Cherry Trees 3

Book 1- aylor Cook was the last thing Morgan McGregor expected to find when she stepped off the train at Cherryville station to spend the summer with her grandmother, Virginia. She didn’t know that the boy who befriended her would one day fill her heart with both joy and pain.
First love can be magical. It can reach inside you and grip your heart with a force that you never see coming, and can’t deny. It’s powerful and sometimes debilitating, but most of all… it can break you in ways you never thought possible.

How do you recover when the one the person you thought would always be there, pushes you away at the time they’re needed the most? How do you move on with your life and forget the boy who stole your heart all those years ago? How do you go back to that place knowing that seeing him will cause your careful façade to crack into a million pieces? It’s simple you can’t, but sometimes you have to.

When Morgan gets the news that her grandmother’s passed away and she’s the heir to her estate, she hardens heart in preparation of going back to face him. What happens when she steps off that train again? Will the feelings she’s worked so hard to forget come rushing back and threaten to drown her? Will he even still be there?

Book 2- It’s been two years since she walked away, and he’s still hurting. It’s been two years since Mia Callahan ran headfirst toward her career leaving him to pick up the pieces of his broken heart.

Tyler Cook has everything he ever wanted. He’s living in a luxurious apartment and working at one of New York’s most prestigious law firms, all while becoming one of the city’s biggest playboys. Women flock to him, and he promises them nothing in return. The more they give, the more he takes. Even though it doesn’t help fill the hole she left in his heart.

One moment can change your life. A few words can send it down a path you never planned, careening toward someone you don’t truly want.

What happens when Mia comes back and he isn’t the same man she left behind? Will she accept him for who he has become? Can he find the man he was, the man she left? Can he forgive her for walking away?

Sometimes we have to go back to the beginning to realize what we had in the first place.

Beyond the Cherry Trees is the second book in the Cook Brothers series.
***This can be read as a STANDALONE.***

Book 3 – There are always those unexpected moments in our lives that make us realize that we aren’t in control.

I’ve known Sharron was it for me for as long as I can remember. We met when we were just kids, and fell in love. At eighteen when she told me she was pregnant, I did what I’d always planned to do… I asked her to marry me.

As the years passed by so did our dreams. We grew up fast, but our love never faltered. Our marriage was solid, and I thought we could survive anything… but I was wrong.

‘For better or worse’ is easier said than done. When you feel like everything is crumbling around you it’s easy to give up and walk away, at least it was for her.
I have no intention of letting her go. She’s my other half, and I know she can find her way back to me. I just need her to remember how we were before the cherry trees

Say You Remember

4.35 · 55 Ratings · 39 Reviews · 3 editions

I had it all once…I was popular, a jock, the center of attention in any group, friends that followed me everywhere. I thought I ruled the world, and in my high school I did. Girls threw themselves at me, and I used them knowing they’d never mean anything until I met her…Danielle Reed.

I never planned on liking her or even falling in love, but I did. I fell hard, and I ruined it before it could really begin.

It’s been eight years now. I never thought I’d see her again, but here she is. The thing is, she can’t stand me. She reminds me every chance she gets of what a horrible person I was, and how she hopes I rot in hell. I know it would be simpler to just move on and forget about her, but I can’t. I can’t let her go, and I don’t want to.

Danielle Reed will be mine again. I just need to make her remember.

Book 5-

Things aren’t always as they seem…

I’ve lived by that motto for most of my life. I’ve hid who I am, who I used to be, and what I’ve done from anyone who dares to get close to me. At nineteen I lost my parents. I thought nothing in the world could be more painful. I was wrong.

When I met Leo, my world seemed brighter. I felt hope for the first time in months. He promised me a life of luxury, but things aren’t always as they seem. Leo had a dark side, one that he hid from me. He pulled me under and held me captive, making death seem like the only way out.

It took me two years to escape. I ran never looking back until now. My life is finally coming together. I have people I trust, a job, and a safe place to call home, but things aren’t always as they seem.

One night, one phone call, one moment causes it to all crash down. Leo has my sister, and he wants to trade her for me. The one person I can trust is the only one who could also tear me apart… Detective Jeff Horn. He’s got secrets just like me, and seems to understand me better than I do myself.

How do I tell him my darkest secrets? How do I go back to a place that nearly broke me? How do I let him see Below the Surface?

book 1-

I was drugged.
Now, I’ve woken up in a dark, luscious room.
A deviant playground.
I’m not alone.
The person that was drugged and taken with me is here, too.
My confidant.
Someone that I had come to see as a brother.
My best friend.
Suddenly, there’s a voice coming through the speakers, telling us we’ve both been chosen to die.
The only way out? Do everything we’re told to do.
This person wants to watch us. They want to be entertained. As she says, “I want to see you come.”
It’s simple: either we f*ck, or die
Book 2-

That bloody bitch thinks she’s the biggest villain here . . .

And I’m going to let her keep thinking that.

She thinks she knows how far I’ll go to save Ivy.

In reality, she has no fucking clue. I’d kill for her.

My humanity recedes while a demon is born.

I want their blood on my hands. The stakes are beyond high, trapped in this sex dungeon with no way out. Our loved ones are being threatened while we’re being forced to endure.

But none of that matters to me as much as the endgame. I’ll be leaving here once I take the two things that matter most:

I’ll be claiming my woman. And once I find our way out, I’ll be taking our captor’s life too.

She thought she could threaten my girl.

I’m about to show her just how wrong she is.

Book 3-
Deceased.
Gone.
Someday to become a distant memory.
They’re dead and I don’t feel an ounce of remorse.
Instead, the relief is almost instant. No longer will I feel like scum because my heart lies with him—My Noah.
The voice might’ve forced my hand, but in the end, I’ll always choose my heart. I’ve lived within my fear of losing him and that’s now been stripped from me.
We’ve been forced to say goodbye to our past and I’m embracing my future with both hands.
I’m no longer afraid.
I’m pissed.
They want us broken, but instead they’ve unleashed a beast unwilling to submit. I’m an animal determined to save her man.
To live.
I no longer care who gets in my way or what I have to do. I will have that man . . .
And one day, we will both escape.
Book 4-
“Now I’m going to ruin you.” 
I found the way out.
Yet, Ivy doesn’t know it. Haven’t been able to tell her.
My plan is incomplete. Possibly flawed. The exit from this room is almost in the palm of my hand.
But there’s no telling what truly lies on the other side of that wall.
How the hell we’ll survive escaping this place.
How damaged we’ll be.
Jamie’s life is in our hands—one wrong move from us will be her end and yet, I can’t afford to let that stop me.
Fuck no.
I’ll forsake their lives without so much as a blink to get us out. Their blood on my hands I’ll wear with pride.
To survive I’ll kill every last one of them.
It’s time we finally escape.
We’ll die if we don’t.
Book 5-
They wanted this.
To strip us of our humanity. Devolve us back to our most basic forms.
They used our love for each other as the trigger.
Now, they’ve succeeded. They’ve turned us into something else.
Into creatures willing to spill all their blood, end-all their lives, in the hopes of finally being freed.
Even if we die in our attempt to escape, Noah and I are determined to take as many of them down with us as we can.
Before it’s all over, we will all bleed for their sins.
All of us.

Writer, wife and mother of three girls. E.M. Shue likes her whiskey Irish, her chocolate dark and her hockey hard hitting. She’ll listen to just about any music genre but loves the Eagles and regrets not ever going to one of their concerts when she had the chance. She uses music as inspiration in books. She is an avid reader and you can find her Kindle packed full of all sub-genres of romance.

When she isn’t writing action-adventure and strong woman she’s homeschooling her youngest teenage daughter, driving her husband crazy with his honey-do list from hell, and dropping the f-bomb like its and or the.

Born in the Mid-west E.M. was moved to Alaska as a young girl and counts it as her home. She’s lived in the interior and even a western village, but currently resides between the largest city and the agriculture hub. Her oldest daughter just moved to Hawaii so she anticipates making lots of trips south to see her.

E.M. supports local writers through the local RWA chapter, The Alaska Writer’s Guild and local NaNoWriMo events when she can. E.M.’s heart is in giving to the organizations that will someday find a cure for her middle daughters many medical conditions. She writes strong female characters because of her girls.

E.M. has always wanted to write but never took to paper like she did when she woke up from a dream that later became Sniper’s Kiss. Now she is four books into a series that keeps talking and wanting its stories told. She’s currently been doing research for another series but in the paranormal, dystopian, and mythic realms. She can’t wait for her readers to get their hands on it.

E.M.’s favorite saying is don’t piss her off she’ll write you into a book and kill you off in a new and gory way.
