Starboard, Anchored Book 1 by Sophie Stern

I purchased this book.

I love a good sexy Sophie novella.  Ya want something quick and fun to read?  Sophie has all the novella choices a girl could ask for.

I grabbed this one after reading a spin off story called The Bratty Dom.  This book is the start of a series of 6 books.  The Bratty Dom was after the series was complete.  I met Christina and Zach in that story and of course needed to know who they came to be amazing support for Raider.

Zach was broken hearted and over relationships thanks to his crazy ex-wife.  A lawyer in his day job, he has a friend bring his to Anchored to relieve his stress.  Anthony was also hoping to help his friend dip his toes back into the life.

Christina is the Damsel of the Dungeon. She is a great sub and wonderful play partner but is very closed off.  Zach sees her and is instantly interested in this beautiful woman.  Christina doesn’t want to share her heartbreak with everyone.  She is there to get what she needs even though by not following protocol she is doing more damage than good.

The story of these two is powerful.  Zach and Christina are both so scared, but Zach pushes himself out to try and help the woman who is invading all of his thought and possible future dreams.

Her friends told her she was an idiot for trying to write a romance novel without actually trying anything out for herself, so she decides to take matters into her own hands and try out one of the most incredible, most exclusive clubs in the city. She knows enough about “the lifestyle” to get by, but then she meets Raiden, and she realizes that she’s in way over her head.Raiden has had his heart broken one too many times to get attached to any of the women at Anchored, but the new girl seems like she’s completely out of her element. If she’s as experienced as she says she is, then why does she look at every single scene like it’s the most incredible thing she’s ever witnessed? Either she’s a goddess, or she’s a liar, and he intends to find out. When a secret threatens their growing relationship, Blair is faced with a choice that just might tear them apart.Forever.The Bratty Dom is a contemporary romance by Sophie Stern, author of DARK FAVORS and THE FABLESTONE CLAN. The Bratty Dom takes place in the same world as the ANCHORED book series.

The Bratty Dom by Sophie Stern

I purchased this book.

I love a good sexy Sophie novella.  Ya want something quick and fun to read?  Sophie has all the novella choices a girl could ask for.

I grabbed this one based on the cover…do not judge me. It looked yum plus the title made me laugh a bit.

This novella has everything you would want in a story. If you are not an avid Sophie reader, then you are not aware of the HEAT and STEAM she brings to her books.  This one also did not disappoint. Raiden is a sad Dom.  The supposed love of his life has ruined him in every single way.  He is doubting himself and any chance of happiness in his future. Blair is an author who needs to learn some SPICE for her novels.  She listens to friends and goes to the local BDSM club.  Ya cant go wrong there right??

When they meet at the club, he is immediately interested in who this new little sub is.  She too is interested but never gets the chance to talk to him.  When he shows up at her door to build bookshelves, they are both stunned.

The story is a great read. They both need to come clean about some things. They both need the push to move things forward to see what could be IF they let love in

Review by: Twinsie Melinda

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

I adored this book. I enjoyed seeing the Scottish brothers again. This is the perfect mix of small-town community, family, struggle, love, and humor.

Chloe is trying to start over as a single mom and town baker. She worked hard to make it the city but when she realized her daughter is more important than her big city job she decides to do something about it. When Chloe gets a break as the new baker in town but with the help of Honeybun she does a smash up job. Chloe cannot get a break and feel she is failing her daughter.

Malcom portrays the stoic banker. When he tries to embarrass his brother on his birthday the table is turned and it is he that ends up with cake in his face when he has a run in with the new baker.

The chemistry between these two is electric. Neither wants to admit it. It takes time to sift things out and for them to get to know each other. My heart flutters when I see the things Malcom does for Chloe and Hailey. The interactions between him and Hailey and Honeybun for that matter made my heart do flips for him. I so enjoyed seeing Malcom’s Gram and Da again. Grams puns are so cute and I love seeing them pop up here and there.  To see the brothers have their teasing and playful moments was touching. I love how close the entire family is. Mess with one you mess with all.

The times Chloe and Malcom are together are special and heartwarming although a few bumps in the road they are there for each other and the family. I love the little things Malcom does for Chloe and Hailey. I have to say Honeybun stole my heart. I cannot wait to read more of this series all these brothers need to find their other half.

Review by Twinsie Dee

i bought this book and here is my honest review

Grace Graham has done it again, when sexy swimmer got sexy gem first letter, they couldn’t wait for the next one. after going out on a limb and not going the normal dating route with the apps. love letters and then chemistry at first meet. I’m enjoying these stories and how you can get to know someone just from their words from a letter. definitely had a twist in this story u will probably see coming

Born and raised in the Midwest, reading and writing have always been Dee’s passion. Short stories became long stories that finally, became books. While playing grownup during the day, meaning working a job, Dee wrote her first book. When not reading or writing, which leaves less time than she’s proud of, Dee loves spending her time with her four furbabies, her husband and lots of movies nights.

#MM #Sports #HockeyRomance- Bad Pucking Timing (Colorado Bulldogs Book 1): A Steamy MM Hockey Romance by Michele Lenard

Leave a comment

The ice is my happy place. My sanctuary. The source of my happiest memories, and the promise of my future. It’s also the reason I’m living a lie.

There’s no better feeling than holding another man in your hand while he comes undone.

Smooth skin wrapped around rigid muscle, a tantalizing mixture of soft and hard that pulses like a heartbeat within your fist. Grunts, moans, and breathless curses are uttered in cadence with the rapid rise and fall of his chest. Strained tendons in his neck.

I’ve yet to see a sexier sight than a man in the throes of his release. The only thing that tops it is when I’m the one who gives it to him.

It’s intoxicating… powerful . For just a moment, I’m in complete control. He’s placed something as sacred as his pleasure in my hands and trusted me to satisfy his needs.

Maybe it’s the fact that men are big and hard that makes watching them fall apart so sexy. Or maybe I just like seeing them vulnerable because society says we shouldn’t be. Whatever the reason, I’m hopelessly drawn to men. Have been since I first learned what attraction was. But that’s my dirty little secret. One that could cost me my shot at the NHL if it comes out.

That’s why he is so dangerous. My lifelong dream is within reach, and now there’s another I want to pursue. If only it weren’t such bad pucking timing.

Michele writes contemporary romance that is both sweet and steamy. Her goal is to make you fan your face as you wipe a tear from your eye. Several of her books have been named as finalists in the MARA Fiction From the Homeland contest. Her books are part of a series but there are no cliffhangers so each can be read as a standalone. When she isn’t reading or writing she enjoys the outdoors, something that pops up in her books from time to time.

#NewRelease #Shifters #Paranormal – Bonds of the Wolf, The Wild Legacy book 7 by Cherise Sinclair

Leave a comment

Moya’s ugly past left her fearful of dominant males. And now, when males push her, rather than giving in, she punches them. One morning, after hours of being harassed by the wolf pack’s belligerent alpha, she mistakenly hits a blameless male—a wolf-shifter new to town.

To Moya’s dismay, the wolf-shifter and his brother are under-paw everywhere.Confident and powerful, darkly gorgeous Patrin exudes a terrifying dominance. His brother Fell is blond, muscular, and obviously deadly. When they step in to save a couple of cubs from a bully, she’s torn between her heart and her fears.

Patrin thinks the tiny female who punched him is adorable,and his silent brother actually laughs. Fell rarely speaks and hasn’t since they were children, imprisoned and trained as assassins by the brutal humans in the Scythe. Free for only a year, Patrin, Fell, and the other shifter-soldiers, are eliminating the Scythe to keep their people safe. He and Fell have been sent to this small town to serve as bait.

Patrin and Fell have never considered staying in one place, and they’re surprised to be welcomed by the shifter community. After so many years with humans, they’ve never felt part of a clan. They certainly never considered getting involved with anyone.

But there’s something about the tiny shifter female with the quick fists…Two heart-wounded, powerful brothers, a feisty bookstore wolf, a loyal wolf pack, and a whole territory of shifters must fight to survive a malicious pack alpha and the merciless Scythe humans.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I was given this book for an honest review.

I get so excited when I see Cherise has sent another book to read.  Her books make my heart so happy.  This is one of my favorite authors and so of course I jump when I can read her books.

Patrin and Fell *clapping* I am so excited for this book.  These two dominant men were trained by the Scythe.  When they are free, they take out the rest of the Scythe.  They are soldiers and “brothers”.  They train others to also hunt and get rid of the enemy.

Moya is living in the town when she comes across these 2 dominate men.  She is not a fan and let them know right away she will not be bossed around by them.  I have to say I laughed so hard at what she does. Get it Moya.  LOL

As all love stories and HEA’s for Cherise go, the characters have to learn to trust before love can happen.  They have to deal with lots of outside forces and drama to make sure the love story is complete.  This is another great addition to the series.

If you are a fan of this series and Cherise’s words then this book will make your heart so happy.

A New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, she’s renowned for writing heart-wrenching romances with laugh-out-loud dialogue, alpha males, and absolutely sizzling sex.

I met my dearheart when vacationing in the Caribbean. Now I won’t say it was love at first sight. Actually since he stood over me, enjoying the view down my swimsuit top, I might have been a tad peeved—as well as attracted. But although we were together less than two days and lived on opposite sides of the country, love can’t be corralled by time or space.

We’ve now been married for many, many years. (And he still looks down my swimsuit tops.)

Nowadays, I live in the west with this obnoxious, beloved husband and a seventy-pound lap-puppy. I’m a gardener, and I love nurturing small plants until they’re big and healthy and productive…and ripping defenseless weeds out by the roots when I’m angry. I enjoy thunderstorms, collecting eggs from the chickens, and visiting the local brewery for the darkest, maltiest beer on tap. My favorite way to spend an evening is curled up on a couch next to the master of my heart, watching the fire, reading, and…well…if you’re reading my books, you obviously know what else happens in front of fires.

#Vampires #NewRelease – Wicked Thirst by Megan Montero

Leave a comment

His power will end…
He is a monster and it’s all my fault. I heard whispers of a curse, but I didn’t want to believe it was true . . . I was wrong.

I’ve loved Grayson Shade from the day we met and now that love has doomed him to death. He tried to warn me, he tried to protect himself but I wouldn’t let him. If he’d only told me the truth, I would’ve let him go. I would’ve done anything to save him, us, from this fate. His secrets brought nothing but ruin and pain, and now his best friend is bound to an unbreakable vow – one I refuse to let happen. I owe it to Grayson to ensure this hunt for him leads to his capture and not his death.

When a vicious attack on The House of Shade leads to a declaration of war the vampire world is on the brink of collapse. Blood coats the walls of Grayson’s home, they need him now more than ever. Grayson is not the monster they believe him to be, I just need a chance to prove it.

#ReleaseDay – The Air I Breathe by Laramie Briscoe

Leave a comment

I’m the hottest tight end in the league, and I’m ready to shoot my shot...

Blake

Nine years playing professional football for the Nashville Warriors has taught me a lot. I’ve learned not everyone is your friend, the fans can and will turn on you, and most importantly when you find love? You’ve got to grab it with both hands and never let it go.

I’ve had a crush on pop star Willa for years, but I was in a long-term relationship. When my ex and I break up and Willa makes a tour stop near one of our games, the stars align.

I’m only expecting to talk to her for a few minutes and explain how much I admire her. Instead, we’re hooked up by mutual friends, and as they say, chemistry as electric as ours? It can’t be denied.

Willa

I’m a fresh off the end of a long-term relationship. I’ve taken the required time that women like me need when our hearts are broken, and now I’m ready to get out and play the field again.

The only thing is; I don’t expect “the field” to mean with an actual professional athlete.

But when I meet Blake Whitfield, I know my life is never going to be the same. Late nights, early mornings, public outings, and the opinions of every person around us isn’t enough to discourage this love story.

As they say; let the games begin…

The Air I Breathe is a steamy sports/pop star romance standalone. She’s insecure, and he’s a golden retriever boyfriend. Together they are an every-day love story that the reader can get lost in. Adult situations and mentions of a miscarriage should be noted. Read with care if those things may bother you.

#EnemiestoLovers – Royal Command, Royal Watch Duet Book 2, by S. Marie

Leave a comment
Title: Royal Command
Series: Royal Watch Duet Book 2
Author: S. Marie
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Enemies-to-Lovers; Forced Proximity; Love Triangle; Touch her and die; Forbidden Love; Bodyguard Romance; Prince Romance; Royal Intrigue
 
 
There are many stories about regular girls meeting a prince, falling in love, and living happily ever after…blah, blah, blah.
 
This is not that story.
 
As a lowly Baron’s daughter, I sit on the outskirts of the noble circle, watching the royal family from afar. Exactly where I’d rather be. To me that world was anything but magical or fantasy, their lives under a relentless microscope, controlled by traditions and expectations. I was the girl dreaming about becoming a veterinarian and surrounding myself with animals instead of people.
 
A wallflower who suddenly bloomed, I somehow nabbed the attention of the arrogant, but undeniably handsome, Theodore Alexander Philip Robert David Livingston.
 
The Prince of Great Victoria.
 
I never imagined falling in love with a prince, but I did.
 
When Theo comes back from the Royal Air Force with an extremely sexy, but extremely arrogant new bodyguard, Lennox Easton, everything is flipped upside down. Tattooed, mysterious, and cruel, our mutual hatred for each becomes even more complicated when I move into the palace, becoming the official girlfriend of Prince Theo, and now under Lennox’s watch.
 
Thrown in a society which controls my every move, social media viciously coming after me, and paparazzi looking for any juicy gossip, my world becomes a cage. Glided or not, my life becomes nothing like I imagined, I find myself turning to the very last person I should.
 
When family secrets start to surface from the past, old enemies come for revenge, along with black mail, forbidden love, and devastating revelations.
 
Everything is set to bring me down and even take my life.
 
I knew loving a prince would come with sacrifices, but when you give up everything …when does the fairytale become a nightmare?

I’m an adrenaline junky.
I run into burning buildings, put everything on the line and thrive on the high it triggers.
It’s how I live my life. It’s how I’ve always lived my life.
I love the fast pace. A new adventure every day.
So why can’t I shake my brunette neighbor?
Why when I see her do I feel like everything around me stops?

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

I have read several CA Harms books.  So when I saw she was writing a book about a fireman, I was all in. She has a great ability to make her men flawed and perfect at the same time.  LOL

I will say I did not read any of the other books in the series written by other authors.  I walked blindly into this series.

Grayson…dude man come on.  Remember I said flawed….well he was such a gross player.  I mean EWWW no sir stop.  He was happy with this life and the rotating ladies.

Skye is Grayson’s neighbor. She is raising her sister and the last thing she needs is a manwhore sniffing around. I mean she is a shy person and raising a teenager is not for the faint of heart!!

When Grayson sees Skye, he is done!  He needs to know more right away.  This is when we see Grayson maybe putting away his manwhore card. He knows what he wants and will all he can to get it.

Of course there is drama.  Of course, there are besties that we all loved, Vivian and Scarlet.  But as to be expected we find a couple dealing with everything to be together.
