#Sugar4SPICE #AuthorSpotlight – Jane Charles

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Jane Charles. I live in the Midwest with my hubby who is a former marine and police officer. I wasn’t always a reader, but when I was sixteen and stuck in the car driving back from Florida, I started reading the romance my sister had brought on vacation and fell in love. When I’m not writing, I spend a lot of time at the local community theatres where I head up hair and makeup on an average of five to six shows a year. But my true theatre passion is directing and cannot wait for the next opportunity to sink my teeth into a script and watch characters come alive.

My home office or out on the patio when the weather is nice, as in no snow or ice. Fall outside is my favorite. It’s not so much food that I need, but coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

First, meeting readers and second, spending time with authors that I only talk to through social media. It’s just really great to connect in person and not through a computer screen.

#WOTR20 #CoverReveal #NewSeries #Rockers Rock Me Longer By Jenna Jacob

I might own the stage, but no one owned my heart…

until I laid eyes on her.

Burk Jennings had everything a man could want—houses, cars, and an endless supply of willing women. As lead singer of the iconic rock band Licks of Leather, he’d been blessed with fame and fortune. Still, he was restless, struggling with burnout, and pondering hanging up his microphone for some peace and privacy. Sofia Jackson grew up poor and fast. After clawing her way out of the gutter, she worked diligently to earn a killer reputation in the music promotion industry, ensuring no one would ever have the power to drag her down again. Work was her life, which left her no room for frivolous fantasies, especially those about Burk. But their forbidden fantasies can’t be contained, and their passion combusts, consuming Burk and Sofia. When secrets are spilled and trust is broken, will betrayal destroy them both?

A GROUP OF SURVIVORS … must find a way to live together when a terrible virus turns deadly.

Goodreads


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

I love me some Zombie books.  They are the best. This series did not let me down.  I have previously read book 2 in the series so I was excited to jump into book 1.  Since this book was about a different cast of characters it didn’t matter the order to which you read but seeing as this book does explain the why of the outbreak, I would recommend reading it first.  The characters in this story will cross over into other books with the characters from the next books…did that make sense??  LOL

This book is about brothers, Zeke and Ty, with Zeke’s girlfriend Natalie rounding out the main characters.   The trio is watching the events of the flu epidemic followed by some dirty deeds with the cities drinking water.

The book is fast paced with lots of sext times in the reading as well.  It’s a short novella but you get to see the beginning of the what happened when the city went to hell very quickly during the 4th of July celebration!!

Lone Survivor by Nikki Landis

Zombies!

The world has gone to shit, and the zombie apocalypse is now responsible for wiping out humanity.

One girl believes she’s all alone and the world’s last hope for survival . . . but is she the key, a threat, or something else entirely?

Goodreads

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

Zombies make my heart so happy. When my blog got a request to share this books release, I was super excited and reached out to ask for a review copy. OMG am I so happy I did. This book hits all my zombie book expectations…..Zombie encounters, feisty heroine, alpha hero, and plot twists and turns galore! Man was I loving it and unable to put it down!!!

Our heroine, Bailee, is alone after the world went to crap for a year exactly when she stumbles into the hands of the local military group (and uber alpha bossy Sawyer) during a failed scavenger mission. The men know a secret about Bailee, but Sawyer is kinda interested in our feisty girl and wont follow orders just yet to turn her over to the main operations.

We see a lot of push and pull between Saw and Bailee which creates a lot of chemistry!!! But what also is amazing to read, the ZOMBIE ATTACKS!! Yes folks there are a lot of zombies in the book and many different kinds of zombies….this totally made my heart happy. We’ve got slow zombies. We’ve got fast zombies. We’ve got tracker zombies!!? Yikes!!

The books momentum and flow were great for reading. I mean the group was always under attack or in conflict, so it was very fast paced, and action packed!!

Nikki Landis is the award-winning & Amazon bestselling reverse harem, paranormal, and sci-fi author of over 40 romance and erotica novels. Her recent release Refugee Road is the Gold Medal winner of the 2017 IPPY award for Best Romance/Erotica. Her stories have all heat levels so you’re sure to find something you love.

Don’t Be Afraid Review by Angie HERE

#WOTR20 #RH #KU – Then Comes Marriage: A Reverse Harem Romance (Matchmaker #4) by Jade C. Jamison

Then Comes Marriage: A Reverse Harem Romance (Matchmaker Book 4)

I’m so close to the finish line…but will my future be everything I hoped for?

We’re down to the last two men vying for my hand, and what had seemed to be every woman’s dream has become a wretched nightmare. These men who’d seemed perfect for me, compatible in every way, are deeply flawed, and now I’m questioning if I even want to spend a lifetime with them.

But now it’s too late. I’m locked in, and so I now have to hope for the lesser of two evils and pray that I can turn it into a match made in heaven…

***Dying to find out who Claire ends up with? Find out in the explosive finale!***

Goodreads

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

Holy wild ride for us and Claire!!! SO this book ends and we are not sure who is staying in the final 2 guys or who is out…..I am kinda stunned actually by the 2 who remain and the one who was voted out because I SURE would have dumped one over the other.

Claire has a LOT happening in this book.  She goes on mini dates, a trip away date and 2 final dates while all wondering “WHAT IS GOING ON???” and “WHO WILL AMERICA PICK?”  I mean even I was stunned at who America was picking….

We learn a lot about our final two suiters…one thing for sure…neither can keep their pants up for long when Claire is around *Snickers* Ya’ll this is national TV!!!!??? Your mother is watching!!!

When the book is ending, Claire gets some “NEWS” and well, yeah, her opinion about things is soon twisted and leaves her feeling not so happy with the show.

I loved how we get to see the rational for the people who were cut when they were cut.  It made me and Claire understand the why for most everything.  Most of all, I loved the final scene!!!  I loved who she ended up with even if he wasn’t my 1st or 2nd pick!!  He was truly the BEST pick for Claire.

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” While you’re more likely to see Jade headbanging instead of Dirty Dancing, she—like Baby—won’t be put in a corner…or a box. So even though you can’t really stick her books in one genre, you could say she mostly writes steamy Contemporary Romance—and, while you’re at it, you’ll notice in her stories that Jade freaking loves Colorado, hard music, coffee, bad words, and CHOCOLATE!!! And so do her characters.

Oh, and there’s always a glimmer of hope…because if life doesn’t have that, what’s the damn point? (

#WOTR20 #RH #KU – First Comes Love: A Reverse Harem Romance (Matchmaker #3) by Jade C. Jamison

First Comes Loves: A Reverse Harem Romance (Matchmaker Book 3)

Can one woman possibly fall in love with more than one man at a time?

My name is Claire Seaburg and I’m an aspiring actress. You haven’t heard of me yet? Just wait. You will soon. You see, I’m in the third week of the new reality television show Matchmaker. It’s getting tough, because we’re down to three men—and I’m afraid I’m falling in love with them all. Will the man I end up with truly be the right one for me?

Or will I wind up in hell with the wrong guy?

Watch me as we get one week closer—and I do a few naughty things I just might regret…

Goodreads

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

ANNND Another one bites the dust.  Was I sad to see my favorite guy go?  YUP but doesn’t that always happen in those damn reality TV shows.

So we are now down to 3 dudes and TBH they gotta work for Angie to be all #TeamNewDude…LOL

SO Claire is a bit sad to see my boy go and the other 3 guys start to put the moves on for her attention.  ALL of the guys sneak some alone time with Claire in their own ways and can I just say…one of the ways is super hawt!!!

The host, Cat, I have my eyes on and I am curious what the guys say during their confessionals that Claire isn’t allowed to see that makes the TV audience vote the way they do.

Cat gives the guys a test and we see right away who is really listening to Claire and who is just trying to get her attention with muscles and flirting.

As always we are left wondering who is going to be cut in the final round and who will be the final 2 guys.  Since the last book will have the winner, I am super excited.

My thoughts on the final guys….

1 He is in it for the money the guys win

  1. He is in it to “Win” the competition. Claire is just a prize at the end.
  2. I am not sure but MAYBE he is my new #Team but he has some issues to work on
