Review by Twinsie Dee

USA Today Bestselling Author Chelsea Camaron was born and raised in Coastal North Carolina. She currently resides in Southern Louisiana with her husband and two children but her heart is always Carolina day dreaming.

Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice.

Chelsea grew up turning wrenches alongside her father, and from that grew her love for old muscle cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which just so happened to inspired her ‘Daddy’s Girls’ series. Her love for reading has sparked a new love for writing and she currently has a few more projects in the works.

When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in.

She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.

#Review #Novella #Medical – Joshua, Love in Scrubs book #1 by AJ Renee

 

Joshua (Love in Scrubs Book 1)

From the author of the St. Fleur series comes a fun tale of finding love in the emergency room. 

The single life had been treating Hazel Rivera better than she’d anticipated. With no one to report to, she did as she pleased, which included if and when she’d have a man in her bed. She felt no shame in satisfying her own needs, but when toy-play goes wrong, she earns herself a visit to the emergency room. 

Squirming in pain, the last thing she expected was to find a sexy nurse assigned to her room. She could lose herself in a man like him—sinful eyes, full lips, and a kindhearted attitude—but before she can catch Joshua Bradley again, she’s sent home. 

When life hands them a second chance, will they risk their hearts? 


Goodreads


I purchased this book.

I have known this author for a couple years but haven’t been able to grab a book and read it.  Well this year on vacation I made time read a couple of her new series novellas.  I love novellas and the quick story they provide especially when a thunderstorm ruins your vacation plans for the day.

When this book started, I was in total stitches and could totally relate to what Hazel was going through.  She is a strong woman who doesn’t really need a man or the heartbreak associated with them to get what she needs.  She “takes care of business” on her own.  When she has a slight mishap that sends her to the ER, she comes across Nurse Hottie AKA Joshua.

Joshua is blown over by the confident and sexy hot mess who came to the ER with some hives happening.  He wishes he could have the ability to ask her out but dating patients is a motto he follows in life after a mishap with a fellow co-worker.

After a month, Joshua and Hazel run into each other and the sparks are there like they were in the ER Room.  The story is hilariously sexy and full of chemistry.  Seeing the sparks between the two flies along with the ability to work out their fears and anxieties.

I loved the epilogue like CRAZY!!  It was a perfect mix and great to let us know about the HEA we know Hazel and Joshua have but in a different viewpoint.

 

AJ Renee is the author behind the St. Fleur series, Beauty Unmasked, Winter’s Surprise, Surviving Paris, and Finding Love at the Falls…. She’s a military wife and mother to three young girls.

#WOTR18 #Review #FriendsToLovers – Until You Fall In Love by Lyssa Layne

Until You Fall In Love

Single mom Jordan Glastetter doesn’t know how she’d survive without her best friend, Abram Tomko. He’s the father her son never knew and he’s the rock she’s always leaned on. When Abram’s father suffers a heart attack, it’s Abram’s turn to depend on Jordan, finally seeing her as the woman she’s become and not the little girl he grew up with. Will they risk their friendship for a chance at love?

Goodreads

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

Oh man where do I begin!!??  Lyssa, sister!!  Abram was such a hot mess in Robbie and Jordan’s book I was really wondering how you could fix him but fix him you sure did!

Jordan and Abram have known each other all their lives.  Jordan falls in love and married Robbie who is Abram’s bestie/wing man.  As soon as their life picks up and moves forward, Robbie is killed in the military.  This story picks p 5 years after his death.  Their story is the prequal to this story.

Jordan is a dedicated mom, rancher, friend and is slowly freaking out that the feelings she has for her best friend, Abram, are slipping into the “more than friends” category.

Abram has watched Jordan every day her entire life but when situations change, and he comes back after helping his sister, his eyes open to the woman she has become. He soon realizes he can’t live with out her in his life. PERIOD.

The couple are essentially raising her son as THEIR son. They are starting to realize there is a lot more going on then just best friends…which everyone else sees but they are both to dumb to see until their world is shook when Pop, Abram’s Father, has a heart attack.  The thought of losing his pushes them both into re-evaluating things.

Now of course love can’t come easy with the two for them.  They are dealing with her fears of finally moving on past her dead husband of 5 years.  They are dealing with other people being interested in the pair plus the fear of what if this doesn’t work.  There were times I wanted to smack Jordan upside the head and shake her senseless for thinking less of Abram’s feelings for her.  Then toward the end of the story I was gonna nut check Abram for being such a jackass over something that happened with Jordan…sigh…but mainly I loved the journey these two take!!

Lyssa Layne is first, and foremost, the proud momma to her precious daughter, AR. In addition to working full-time and being a mommy to AR, she is also an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan, a runner, blogger, and an infertility survivor.

Having watched one too many medical dramas and being inspired by author Rachelle Ayala, who introduced her to the world of indie writing, Lyssa decided to try her hand at writing a romance story. Her attempt turned into the Burning Lovesick series. You can find Lyssa’s own interests throughout her stories although all stories are fictional.

#NewRelease #review #ReverseHarem #Dark – Suffer Less by K.B. Everly

Suffer Less

For some, suffering less is as close to being happy as they’ll ever get. 

Alessa Dean is a girl who’s used to suffering.

She was someone’s daughter, sister, niece. She was whole… once.
Now, she’s got nothing left to lose and a choice to make that could change her life forever.

A choice given to her by three men who belong to the Wayward Kraken motorcycle club. Three men who give her a way out and a chance to start over.

Will she take that chance and possibly find the ability to not only love someone else once again, but to love herself?

And maybe, just maybe, suffer less…if only a little.

*This is a Dark Contemporary REVERSE HAREM Romance with moments that will make cringe, laugh, and sometimes cry.*

TRIGGER WARNING: This books contains themes some may find sensitive including: overdose, violence, and attempt of rape.


Goodreads

Amazon

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

Alessa…man her life is not awesome.  Its full of everything bad and painful and you just feel for her and her struggles.  When she can leave town with the Wayward Kraken MC she jumps.  She doesn’t know what will happen, but she knows she will be living a new life from what she had in the town.

This story is not for the weak at heart.  Its dark and deals with subject matter that not everyone wants to read. K.B. doesn’t shy away from the difficulty’s life can hand someone.  She tackles subject matter like drug addiction, feeling not whole and wanting more than they have. The MC Brothers show Alessa that she too can be whole even with missing parts of herself.  They give her love and most of all a family.

The story is not for the faint of heart but it is a great story to make your eyes leak and you cheering for the whole “love to conquer all” philosophy.

#NewRelease #Review #TrueMates #Shifter A Witch in Time:True Mates Generations Book 4 by Alicia Montgomery

When three strangers appear at his doorstep, Lord Reed Townsend, Duke of Huntington, knows something is not quite right. And it’s not just because his wolf immediately recognizes Elise Henney as his True Mate. But the cold, unfeeling Alpha doesn’t want to risk his heart again, despite the fact that his wolf is urging him to claim their mate. He ignores his instincts, hoping that the desire and longing he feels for the young American miss would eventually go away.

Transported from modern day New York to Regency England, wolf shifter Elise Henney and her companions deduce that their only way home lies with the London Alpha. But, Reed’s suspicious nature is a major hindrance, not to mention, his cold, unfeeling nature. Still, she can’t help but feel drawn to the broody duke, but he can never know who she really is or where she’s from.

Sparks fly despite their denial of their attraction to each other. But, Elise’s only way home relies on Reed’s fate, one she cannot change no matter what happens. Can they let history play out as it’s supposed to or will they defy time, in order to be together?
 I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book.


Welcome to True Mates Generations book 4 and after reading it I now want to watch Back to the Future!!!
That’s right a couple of the true mate kiddos travel accidentally back in time after a attack by the mages.
Elise Henney’s parents are the alphas of the San Francisco clan.  She and her mother are in New York for the new Alpa’s ascension.  Elise is a hybrid wolf/witch, she has never been able to control her powers so she wears gloves.  When the mages attack during the ceremony she uses her powers and she, Julianna Anderson, and Cross Jonasson are transported back in time to Regency  London.
Reed Townsend is about to become the alpha of London when these unfamiliar people save his nephew.
He is unsure of these new guest that he now has, he just knows that he is attracted to Elise and they are not telling the truth.
As always the chemistry between True Mates is off the charts!!  It’s crazy that Elise had to travel back in time to find her mate.
Of course we gotta deal with the mages, it wouldn’t be a True Mates story without them trying the screw thing up.
It was funny seeing 3 people from this time trying to fit in during that time period and Alicia Montgomery did a excellent job at making me feel that it was a smooth transaction be between time periods.
I’m excited to see who will be the next True Mate kiddo to find their mate and to see if they can defeat the mages once and for all.
Alicia Montgomery has always dreamed of becoming a romance novel writer. She started writing down her stories in now long-forgotten diaries and notebooks, never thinking that her dream would come true.

Sexy shifters, billionaires, alpha males, and of course, strong, sexy female characters are her favorite to write. Alicia is a wanderer, along with her husband, they travel the world and have lived in various spots all over the world.

#NewRelease #DebutAuthor #Review – When You Were Mine by Cindy Tanner

When You Were Mine

One letter a week. Care packages optional. Adopting a Marine seemed like the perfect extra credit project.​

Harper Evans never expected to fall in love with the Marine she adopted. She never expected to meet him in person but a surprise gave her the chance to claim who she wanted. Then life proved it can break your heart a million different ways.​

Asher Williams fought for his father and country, but he will fight hardest for the woman that stole his heart. Harper may have changed her mind about the life they planned together, but Asher wants it enough for them both.​

Will he still feel that way when he learns it all?


Goodreads

Amazon

I purchased this book.

I met this author at a book convention this summer.  She was a friend of a few friends so of course I had to buy the book when it releases.  She was super sweet and friendly to boot, so my inner blogger was all about helping this chick out.

I read the blurb and thought “Oh this sounds like a sweet romance” and what I got was like WHAT!!!!  I mean the twists and turns and darkness SHOCKED ME…….and I loved it.  Guess that is what I get for making an assumption right???

The blurb is about a couple exchanging letters and the title “When You Were Mine” makes you think of a 2nd chance love story WHICH is true buuuut the rest is totally not what you expect.  I will admit because I went in thinking one way, I was a bit thrown off at the beginning.  Asher getting a Dear John letter….what??  I was a little confused and thought it was choppy but once the story got going and I realized it was ME who was wrong, the beginning makes total sense.

Harper has been through some stuff.  She is broken both mind and body.  She is walled off and walked away from Asher because she doesn’t feel worthy anymore.  She has her dad’s shop and her drag race strip so nothing matters any more.  She will live a content life with her bestie, Nona, and maybe find love but not passion with her other bestie, Ran.

Asher is not going to let Harper go.  He has no idea everything she has been through or to the extent of what she has been through, but he remembers the hopes and dreams they had.  He is bound and determined to get his women back.

Along the way we see Harper pushing Asher away, making some not so great choices and then dealing with her past that seems to haunt her daily.  We see Asher reaffirming his love and devotion to his women along with doing all he can to protect her.

I think the book was written great and I look forward to reading more.  I kinda hope she revisits these characters because Nona and Ran need an HEA!

Cindy Tanner has been a book worm since way before it was cool. Preferring to interact with fictional characters than people in real life she began writing at a young age. She has a wild and vivid imagination that has gotten her into (and out of trouble) more than once.

Cindy lives in Southern Indiana with her family and is a proud Midwestern farm girl. She loves all books, cheesy action movies, and animals. But hates writing about herself so don’t judge her books based on a slapped together biography.

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

I love a good shifter book and this one didn’t disappoint!!!  Whoop Whoop!!!

I love a mysterious alpha who also has some scars on his heart.  I love a strong female who wont just take orders and expects full respect and love.  Nara and Liam fit the bill to a T.

The story starts and I admit it’s a little bit choppy getting through the backstory abut Nara and her betrothal and Liam being the creepy “big brother” type in the background.  However, once the background is told it does seem to flow better.

Liam has always known Nara was his and once he gets her to open her eyes and SEE him for who he is, her soul mate, everything changes.  Liam has some dark secrets and is afraid to tell Nara everything.  His pride is something that causes issues between the two. Nara too has issues that cause the couple trouble….like her mile long stubborn streak.

The backstory of Liam and the story about the war to come is a good one.  Though Liam and Nara have serious communication issues between them but they still find the love that they have between each other.

I loved the story about the war that is coming and I will definitely enjoy reading more in the series.

#TwiniseDee #Review Still (Grip Book #3) by Kennedy Ryan

I’ll be there.

Through thick and thin.

Ride or die.

You can count on me.

The promises people make. The vows we take.

Assumptions of the heart.

Emotion tells us how we feel, but life… life has a way of plunging us in boiling water, burning away our illusions, testing our faith, trying our convictions.

Love floating is a butterfly, but love tested is an anchor.

For Grip and Bristol

Love started at the top of the world

On a Ferris wheel under the stars

But when that love is tested, will they fly or fall?

*STILL is the conclusion of Grip & Bristol’s emotional journey. You must read FLOW, available for FREE, and GRIP before beginning STILL.*

#IAE19 #AuthorSpotlight – Bijou Hunter

Bijou Hunter

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

I’m Bijou Hunter and I write romantic suspense (bikers mainly) and rom-com. I live in Indianapolis with my three sons and just as many cats.

Where is your favorite place to write and what food must be present?

My laptop (Ojai) and I do our work in a blue recliner in my living room. I always have a Diet Coke around and I’ll never say no to a bowl of tortilla chips with spinach dip.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

My absolute favorite is meeting readers I’ve spoken to online. There are some women who’ve been right there with me since my first book (Damaged and the Beast) in 2013. Hanging out with them is a real delight.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

I was lucky enough to meet Aurora Rose Reynolds back in 2015 and she was as lovely in person as she seems online. My current unicorn authors are Jen Frederick, Kristen Ashley, and the ladies behind Alexa Riley.

What author would you love to write with?

Oh, I wouldn’t wish on any author the horror of dealing with me. I write out of order, do little early plotting, and rarely hit my deadlines. Of course, if I could get my act together, I bet I’d enjoy writing with Jordan Marie.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

The best experiences involve receiving messages from readers saying how my books helped them through difficult times. Sometimes, my books made them laugh and distracted them from their troubles. Other times, they find it cathartic to read about characters overcoming issues similar to what they suffered. Those messages inspire me when I’m dealing with writer’s block.

#WOTR19 #NewRelease #review #StandAlone – Broken Scars by JM Walker

Broken Scars (A Standalone Novel)

Ruined. Tortured. Broken.
What could have been the perfect childhood, turned into a hell that the devil himself would shy away from. I was forced to deal with an evil that would make the darkest of souls cringe.
Lily Noel was scarred but beautiful. She was perfectly flawed and everything that I needed.
Attraction bordered on obsession.
Passion bordered on ecstasy.
Addiction bordered on insanity.
Nothing could get in the way of our love.
Nothing…

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

Well, well, well Lucas.  It took you HOW MANY YEARS to finally tell your story to JM and man….was it a good one!!

JM asked me what my description of Lucas is.  I said he is her most Alpha guy yet….but then thinking on it, he is also the sweetest guy yet.  How is that you ask???  Just meet him and you will understand.

Lucas, sweet baby Jesus your life.  I can’t even understand how you LIVED through everything you lived through and yet you did.  You are the definition of survivor.

Lily…guuuurl I don’t know if I have a girl crush on you or if I want to be your best friend???  I mean you are so damn sassy and feisty and you push Lucas to open up.  You accept that broken man and all the baggage he has.  Sometimes you needed to take a quick breath, understandably so BUT you don’t quit on him.  You give him the unconditional love he has been craving his entire life.

These two, I have been DYING to read their story.  We know they are together because we have met them in many of JM’s books.  I just wanted to know how “Love Conquered All” for you two.

This story is complex, deep, and full of emotion.  Be ready to have a bruised heart and make sure your arms are in good condition because all the hugs you will be giving these two.

There are so many amazing twists and turns as we always expect with JM but this book, I think had so much heart and soul baring between the main characters.  They both are damaged souls who find THEIR person due to a quick jump out of the rain!!

J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who recently hit USA Today with Wanted: An Outlaw Anthology. She loves all things books, pigs and lip gloss. She is happily married to the man who inspires all of her Heroes and continues to make her weak in the knees every single day.
