Leave a comment


They spent one night together, and then chance brought them back together again.

Carly

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve lived a privileged life. But I’ve worked hard not to let my good fortune go to my head. I’ve kept myself grounded, and much to the dismay of my mother and my NFL star ex-boyfriend, I want to do something meaningful with my life. Something I can call my own.

Hooking up with the cute guy at the bar who seemed to figure me out with a single glance? Not exactly that kind of purposeful adventure I had in mind, but I’m living for me now, so what could one night of fun hurt?

Kaden

I met the girl of my dreams in a Denver bar. The only problem is I’m not the kind of a guy a lady like Carly thinks about when the night is over. And when she walked out of my hotel room, I thought I’d never see her again.

Until she showed up on Mason Creek on a mission.

She didn’t know she’d find me here, and I’ll be damned if I believe our running into each other again is anything less than fate. Chance brought us together once, and I’ve gotta believe there’s a reason it’s brought us back together again, too.

Turns out that reason isn’t what either of us had planned for our lives, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to prove I’m up to the challenge.

Only problem is…

I’m not the only one vying for Carly’s heart.

Review by Twinsie Dee

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

Carly was born with a sliver spoon in her mouth but she wanted more for herself she didn’t want to depend on her parents or a man for the things she wants in life so when her current boyfriend an NFL star pops the question she turn him down because he wants her to give up on her dreams. A while later Carly and her bestie end up at a bar in Denver to celebrate graduation and while her bestie goes. To flirt with some locals Carly has a handsome cowboy offering to buy her a drink and next thing she knows she was in his hotel room and had a wild night. Kaden cant stop thinking about that night after Carly left him alone in his room with out getting her number or even her last name. Things are about to get crazier for these two when chance and fate have something to do with it and with the possible chance her ex tries to get her back. This story was so good i couldn’t put it down, i was so invested into these characters so much. 

Molly McLain lives in a tiny Wisconsin town with her husband, three kiddos, and two adorable German Shorthaired Pointers. She’s addicted to 80’s ballads, 90’s rock, cheesecake, and office supplies, and she’s been scribbling down love stories in spiral notebooks since she was old enough to daydream about hunky boys and happily-ever-afters. Now she turns those daydreams into steamy, small town novels.

Review by Twinsie Dee

I bought this book and this is my honest opinion

Emma came back home to show her Fiance her small town and to meet her dad. But after a fight her dad left the house and never came home next thing Emma knew she was having to plan his funeral and nothing made sense. Things were changing for her in more ways then one both her parents where gone, and now she had a house and her father’s bar in Mason creek and she wasn’t ready to give up either yet. Aiden came back to town after being with the LAPD but was ready to be home and took a job at the police station. They both had a thing for each other but it was never the right time but the feelings were there and everyone knew it. When Emma had a weird feeling that her dad didn’t die of a heartattack like they claimed she asked Aiden to help her off the records and to prove her father was murdered… will these 2 find their way into each other’s arm despite their being a wedding in Emmas future or will they hold onto their feelings and move on with their lives

Terri E. Laine, USA Today bestselling author, left a lucrative career as a CPA to pursue her love for writing. Outside of her roles as a wife and mother of three, she’s always been a dreamer and as such became an avid reader at a young age.

Many years later, she got a crazy idea to write a novel and set out to try to publish it. With over a dozen titles published under various pen names, the rest is history. Her journey has been a blessing, and a dream realized. She looks forward to many more memories to come.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this audio book.

First up I gotta say Rachel was a new voice for me and at first I wasn’t sure about her.  However, as the story got going, I really came to enjoy her and listening to her voice all the characters and emotions did work for me.  I am such an audio junkie that I am kinda picky on voices.  But I did think she did a great job.

Ok so here we go…the book starts out with our girl Nev in TROUBLE!!  She is living with a member of the Kings because her parents kinda suck and don’t care about her.  She has been shuffled all through the brotherhood and cared for by the members, but this member seems to think Nev is free for the taking…yeah not the case. When Wizard steps in and sees what almost happened to the club’s unofficial daughter, he is PISSED OFF.  Rightly so.  He steps up and claims her so that no one else will feel she is a free piece of club meat.

Nev and Wizard come to an understand while living together as old man and ol lady.  She will pretend to be his women and she can live her life.  When the President makes Wizard look at the REAL WOMAN Nev is, things start to change between the two of them.  Nev had ALWAYS had a crush on the older patched member and now he sees the woman and perfect old lady she is.

Nev and Wizard find a great place and are really falling into love when shit goes sideways, and everything changed.

I did feel the end of the story was rushed after the plot twist change happened.  I would have loved more seeing the changes that Wizard goes through, but it did end rushed. Maybe it’s because I really enjoyed the story and wanted more?    I did enjoy the bad people in the story that caused the shit storm to happen and I kinda loved Nev’s dad all of a sudden being a dad….weird how when the kid grows up you realize how much you lost.

Cant wait to jump in to book 2!!

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

Mariah was running from her abusive boyfriend and looking for a better life for her and her daughter, when they were in a car wreck in the middle of the night and rushed to Mason Creek hospital. Miller was the doctor on call when she was rushed in and then headed to surgery. Once out of surgery all Mariah could think of was were her daughter was and if she was safe, which she was. All Mariah could think about was hoping her ex wouldn’t fine them and wondering how she was going to repay everyone in town for their kindness to her and her daughter. Miller was starting to catch feelings for this single mom once she was settled in to his house after she got out of the hospital and rehab no stairs so it was perfect. Things are going great then they all find out things about her ex that she didn’t even know and has the whole town and state on the look out for this criminal. Will Mariah be able too keep herself and her daughter safe and not have her ex find them or will he be able to find them and get what he wants. This book was so good and had a few twist and turns I didn’t we coming.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book.

Oh Dreamer! OH Freaky!  I admit I was kinda curious about Freaky AKA Christopher and how he got his name.  I too figured with the group of guys he found his brotherhood with it had to be a sex thing.  LOL  I mean the Steels aren’t exactly the purest of men.

We meet Dreamer and she isn’t living but surviving day to day with an abusive dick named Clive.  Luckily Dell finds her at an art show and changes her life for the better.  After rescuing her and talking to Montana where she was hoping to hook her up with The Hard Road through Reds connections, she is staying to see life without abuse.  She is staying to see what she wants in life when she crosses paths with a hard-working member of the Steels.

Freaky is always good for a laugh.  He is a stressed-out mess planning Hack’s bachelor party while also seeing Hack stress out over marrying Preacher Girl.  Freaky can’t imagine having a life where you just want one woman to live your life with and plan your life around.  When he bumps into Dreamer he is mesmerized by her beauty and the way she looks at everything.

The couple have a strong connection everyone can see. He is fully in and wants to make her his but worries she will compare him to Clive.  Dreamer is worried about what being claimed really means.  She has never had freedom and now that she has it she is afraid to give it up.

The couple soon learn that when push comes to shove, they need the other to be complete.  When Clive comes back in the picture and a new MC group makes a play in town, Dreamer and Freaky rely on each other to make everything safe for the other again.

I totally enjoyed the side story of Hack and Preacher Girl’s wedding.  Those two are so perfect for each other.  But I loved getting “new commers” view of the family we love.  When new people see the love the couples have for each other, plus the commitment to the family has a whole, it makes you fall in love with all the characters again.

When Michel can suppress the voices in her head she can be found at a scouting event or cheering for her son in a variety of sports. She would like to thank her family for always being in her corner and especially her husband for supporting her every dream and never letting her give up.

Derek

The sound of the gavel crashing down,

Has my life flashing before my eyes.

Learning to play ball.

Falling in love,

Marrying an incredible woman and starting a family

Becoming a starting pitcher for the Indianapolis Lightning.

Everything I ever wanted… Until I struck out.

The same success that gave me the life I dreamed of,

Took it all away.

I’d do anything for a second chance,

Even throw the perfect pitch.

Jillian

A signature on a piece of paper…

It binds you to someone, or it can tear them away.

It broke my heart to file the papers.

Gutted me to sign them.

But this isn’t the life I envisioned.

Tired of competing to be his number one priority,

I had to walk away from the man I loved.

I needed to be strong for our girls, for me.

Life goes on.

People can change.

Now he wants a second chance.

But can I forgive the man who threw it all away, and trust that he won’t do it again?

Review by Twinsie Dee

I bought this book and this is my honest opinion 

Derek just heard worst thing he’s ever heard in his life the judges gavel stating that his marriage is officially over. His wife Jillian filed for divorce because she was fed up with his parting and acting like he was single when she was home all the time raising their girls when he was on the road playing baseball. With the marriage final that gave Derek the biggest wake up call he ever had, it was time to get his shit together and get his family back at any cost. Jillian was heartbroken and hurt that she no had to send her kids overnight to their dad’s, she never wanted to file for divorce but he I didn’t have a choice. Will Derek get his head outta his ass and be able to win his wife and her heart back or did his one shot get thrown away with his past. Wow this was such a good story and of course throwing kids into the story line makes it better.

Rebel (Alumbra Pack Book 1) by [AJ Renee, Angie Wade]

He’d long given upon finding his mate, but when he does, is she too broken to trust their bond?
Meeting boys after curfew should have been innocent fun, but it turned Rosalia’s life upside down. Escaping the werewolf compound wasn’t an option, so she did her best to survive the twisted hell she’d been dragged to. Her dreams of having a real chance at life had been smothered by guilt and the realization she was too broken, even if she ever did see her loved ones again.
Peter had nearly given up on finding his true mate, but a mission to rescue a pack member’s sister leads him to Rosalia. If he’d known why she’d been impossible to locate, he would have left the pack in his beta’s care and moved mountains to save her sooner.
He must find the strength to rein in his wolf’s need to claim her and give her the necessary space to heal. Her body, heart, and wolf are at odds, with merely a thin string keeping her tattered spirit from coming apart. Can Rosalia learn to trust Peter, or are the jagged, invisible scars too deep?

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book.

I LOVED PETER!!  I mean I have loved him since meeting him in the Broderick series.  You do not have to read the Broderick series to read this book OR the following books in the series BUT I highly suggest it so you understand the relationships.

Peter…he is the best alpha.  He loves his pack and those he deems pack like the witches in the Broderick coven.  He is fierce in protecting those he loves.  He is happy with his life, but he yearns for his mate.  He is happy for Brandy and her siblings but…yeah why can’t he find HERE!!!  Our calm cool alpha is outta his mind lately and he is not sure WHY. He can’t focus and is just hot tempered which is not Peter.  When the pack and the coven go to save some women, he is beyond mad to see his mate there…in the room of abused and battered women AND a sister to Claudia.

Rosalie is the brave one of the group.  She has done lots of things that many would find disgusting to survive abuse and horrors.  When she realizes they are being rescued and its by her sister, she is overjoyed and then…..she sees him.  The large wolf is her mate. She is scared given she has seen how alpha tend to treat women.

Rosie and Peter have a lot to overcome but Peter becomes more the man we know and love.  He is doing everything to make sure she knows she is safe and wanted no matter what she as been through.  He is doing everything to put her at ease to him and his caring.  The waters these two navigate was pretty wicked at times but Peter never faulters.  GUYS I loved him even more!!!  GAH!!  PETER!!!

I am so excited for this series and absolutely love that the Brodericks are just as front and center in this series as Peter’s pack was in their story.  But I really wanna know whats up with Xander but Lea and Joel!! EEEEP!!!!

I cannot wait!!

Review by Twinsie Melinda

I purchased this book.

My heart is beating double time for Peter. He is the most understanding and patient Alpha I have read in a while.  To be able to contain the wolf within him after meeting his mate because she needs time to heal. Who wouldn’t want that in a mate and Alpha?

Rosalie was taken as a young girl she was beaten and abused but she found a way to survive. When she and the other women were saved, she found her mate. She struggled with what happened to her all those years and did not believe she was the right mate for an Alpha. She not only found her mate but was reunited with her sister and wow had things really changed for her.

I loved how Peter needed to make sure all the women were safe and protected. He made sure they got the counseling they needed. He also made it clear by his actions and words that they were all free, no longer imprisoned and could make their own choices.

I enjoyed seeing Rosalie become the leader she was born to be. She knows how to plan a weekend of fun, let loose herself and have a good time with her new pack.  I fell in love with this pack and I’m intrigued with the witches in this one.  I think I need to go back and read all the Broderick series. I did find the myself wanting to know more about the alpha of another pack just by one phone call conversation with Peter.  I am intrigued by many of the pack members and ready to see them find their mates.

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

Nate is a big time MLB on the off season back home in Mason Creek to fix up his family ranch after putting his dad in a retirement home. He plans on fixing up his childhood home so that he can bring his dad back to the house with the help of his brother and a at home nurse. One night at the local bar Nate was singing karaoke and a beautiful woman came on stage and sang a few duets with him, and that was all it took to get Cinderella to stay on his brain. Cinderella was actually named Avery and she wasn’t going to fall for Nate’s charm she knew how guys like him were and she wasn’t going to fall for it. Or would she get caught up in his charm? She knew who he was but he had no idea who she was. These two had a history well their fathers did, will these two become the star-crossed lovers of Mason Creek or will Avery revenge her father and get to ruin Nate in the meantime.
