Spying on My Scoundrel (Linked Across Time Book 13) by [Dawn Brower]

Lady Hyacinth believes she’s destined to be a princess. The prince of a small country visits London and she declares she’ll make him fall in love with her in less than a sennight. After all, she is the most eligible lady in all of England…

Rhys Rossington, the Earl of Carrick works for the home office and he’s assigned to the prince while he’s visiting. Some believe he is visiting for nefarious reasons and expect Rhys to uncover if the royal visit is something evil in disguise.

Rhys and Hyacinth each have their own reasons for attaching themselves to the prince, but neither one of them expect where it will lead them. They have always hated each other. Whatever differences they had are nothing in the face of danger.

As each moment passes both Rhys and Hyacinth begin to understand the meaning of the saying: There’s a fine line between love and hate. If the survive they will have to decide which side their feelings actually fall on…

Review by WOTRmomma Julia with permission from her daughter Madi

They’ve known each other forever, and there seems to have always been a spark, which both deny. But Hyacinth has found out there will be a Prince in attendance at a Ball she’s being made to attend, and has decided she will be a Princess! Rhys works for the government and is assigned to follow the Prince. But Hyacinth and Rhys seem to keep crossing paths, and with each encounter, some to realize that they don’t actually hate each other. When the Prince’s nefarious plans are discovered, will Rhys save the day? I found this to be a quick, witty and endearing story!

Tanner-
She was beautiful.
Loved.
Strong.
After hiding away for six months with just my dog to keep me company, I was forced out of the shadows only to end up in the arms of an enemy.
Beatrix Lister saved my life. I had been taking care of myself for so long, I didn’t know how to ask for help, but she refused to go down without a fight.
She was warm where I was frigid.
She was kind and caring where I was a cold-blooded monster.
I did things to survive.
I battled the evils of the world to live.
I didn’t deserve her heart but fell in love with her anyway.
As much as I wanted to be with her, I needed answers and I would do anything to get them.
Even if it meant breaking the heart of the only woman I had ever loved.
~
-Bee-
He was lonely.
Intense.
Brave.
Tanner Horsch came into my life unexpectedly. He was like a tornado, ripping up everything in its path.
There was something about him that I craved.
His touch. His words. His need to survive.
But as we were getting to know each other, he still had walls up.
He refused to let me in knowing my family didn’t approve of him.
I refused to let him go.
After being in the wrong place at the wrong time, he escaped and eventually he ran right into my arms.
He was the villain of someone else’s story, but he was the hero of mine.
I just prayed that he could see that not all monsters are truly evil.
Before it was too late, and he gave himself to the enemy.
My family.

Review by WOTRMomma Julia with permission from her daughter Madi

Beatrix or Bee or Johnny and now Busy, brought up by an over protective group of people, that are her fathers friends, never can catch a break! After her cousins drag her out of bar, while she’s having a night out with her girls and drop her off at home, well what’s a girl to do? Save a guy in her backyard, whose been stabbed? Sure why not! Tanner is in hiding, because he saw something, he shouldn’t have. As the leader of a rival Biker club, he knew he was setup for a fall! So after his dog was stabbed and killed he had to run again. Tanner doesn’t no where to turn, so he went to the rival club, big risk or salvation? But for Busy, he’d do anything! She’s the only one who has ever made him feel this way, ways he’s never thought he could! While the story is a stand alone, I loved how it tied up loose ends for another couple, Tanner had a horrible past, that he finally had someone he could trust enough to share with, no judgement, not pity. just there for him! A must read story, by a must read Author J.M Walker!

Trouble always seems to find Will Murphy. Or maybe it’s Will that’s the trouble. His disregard for his actions and his constant lack of responsibilities are his trademark.

One kiss from a sweet girl like Miley Reese may be exactly what he needs. It just might be the jolt of electricity that motivates him to get his act together.

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

Miley was a shy and quiet girl stayed to herself and didn’t really have much. She didn’t have family her adoptive parent have both passed and she doesn’t want to believe she has family in the friends she has. Miley has been through a lot with her ex boyfriend she has a hard time trusting people. Will is the playboy of Mason Creek, never wanting to settle down and always finding someway to mess things up in his life. Ever since his dad passed away he lived at home and just cant seem to get his shit in order. But in a dark corner at Will’s brothers wedding these two were found locking lips and its been all Will can think of since then. Is that kiss the one that tamed the playboy and brings out the wild side of the shy girl or will it be the complete opposite. This book was so cute and the more i thought i was going to dislike Will the more i actually started loving him.

C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She’s always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories.

She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes…thankfully.

She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better…that quietness changes, fast

When Joey decides to stay in Mason Creek a little longer than planned, Cole Jackson comes to the rescue and volunteers a room at his place—and his unsolicited advice on how to land the perfect cowboy.

Cole quickly realizes Joey is perfect for him in every way, and he’d much rather be lovers than friends. There is only one way out of this. The perfect plan? Sabotage.

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

Cole Jackson Mason Creeks biggest playboy around loves to joke and push everyone’s buttons. But he will protect, and give you the shit off his back if you needed it. Joey flew from Georgia to help her sister Charlee when she gave birth to her daughter, being there to pick up all the pieces back home after Charlee’s failed wedding but it lol worked out in the end she got her happily ever after and now it was Joey’s turn. Having a bad day Joey found herself in the bar drinking her dream apartment just fell through, she’s tired of making sure she don’t walk in on her sister loving on her husband again, Cole was there and offered her to move in with him. Thinking it was going to be easy to have a super cute roommate and nothing was going to happen, but it turned out to be a lot harder then either one of them thought. Will these two let their feelings get to them and give into temptation or will it seriously just be a friends living together no strings attached situation. OMG not only do i love Mason Creek and want too live there I’m in love with Cole Jackson, this is an amazing story and i just ugh love it words can’t decide how hilarious it is.

Is this the end of the Hallow family?

The Hallows have been exiled from their home and the cell towers that sustained their income are burned to the ground. Their only hope rests on Caleb and Joshua who fly to Tokyo to plead for their contracts with LunaBit, the app company they work for. The night before their big meeting, Joshua is drawn to a blonde at a bar. After a night of amazing, sensual sex, he wakes up alone, bearing the mating mark of his ancestors, similar to the ones his six brothers already share with their mates.

When the brothers finally meet with Maya Johansson, LunaBit’s Vice President of the North American Division, Joshua discovers she is the woman who was his bed the night before. Maya holds secrets of her own, which includes being aware of what the tattoo she now bears means. She demands that Joshua returns to Los Angeles to negotiate the family’s contracts with LunaBit. Joshua agrees, willing to do anything to protect his loved ones in Minnesota. However, can he withstand a fabricated marriage, tension with an ex-boyfriend, and a new father-in-law that is pure evil incarnate? And can he save the Hallows home before they all fall to the vampires who want them dead?

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

 I have loved each story of each of the brothers and enjoyed what NEW story line they bring to the overall arc of the series.

Josh and Maya were certainly a good read.  Josh is the last single brother, and he is all about not settling down.  When a one-night stand turns into ever after…he is not so thrilled initially with his mate.  Josh teases his brother Cay about having one woman for the rest of his life when he gets to enjoy the single life while they are in Toyko.  The family’s gaming apps are in trouble with the owner, and they are being called to headquarters to deal with the mess ups.  Cay and Josh goes for a quick drink when all of a sudden he mating signs show up.  Cay laughs his butt off because he knows what’s going to happen.

Maya needs to cut loose.  Being the VP of the gaming company is cutthroat business especially when a ex is a rival for her job.  Chaz is trying to make Maya look incompetent so he can take her job.  Maya sees the tall dark rink of water and says yes to one night.  When she wakes up with the tattoo her behavior and reaction isn’t what Josh expected.

Maya does he best to keep Josh at bay, but the bond is too much. When she comes clean about who she is and who her family consists of, yup another awesome addition to the crazy Hallow family.  Maya and Josh go through a lot to make things work and find a way to be together they can both be happy with.  Throw in vampires, not so nice dad’s, demons, and ya know orphans the story takes you on a great journey.

I absolutely LOVE this series and cannot wait for more!!!  Plus I would like to add that more Joe is always good and this book had some Joe scenes to make this girl happy. #TeamJoeForever!!

Review by Twinsie Angie

I received this book from Book Sirens for an honest review.

Lawd! What a great premise for a book. Finding your long lost and much desired mate to only be told you have to kill her to break a curse!! Dude that is prolyl the worst news ever.

This novel is packed with a punch from start to end.  There is so much going on but it is all easy to follow.

Andrei is a vampire who has been dealing with the visions of his mate coming into his life. He was cursed and wants to know how to get rid of this curse when a witch tells him how to do it.  He can’t believe he must kill his mate to break the curse to protect and save his people.

Sonia’s grandma would always tell her about her future and would read her cars telling her of a special life to come. When Sonia finally admits she has been seeing a hot  blonde man in her dreams her grandma tells her he is her mate.

When Roman, Andrei’s bestie shows up to fill in Sonia about everything and take her to Andrei she is understanding and jumps on the plane.

The story was really fast paced and an enjoyable read for anyone who loves vampires and fated mates type reads.  I can’t wait to read more in the series.

This book previously was published but I never read it so I am unsure if there is added material from the original release date/title.

Award winning and bestselling author Valerie Twombly grew up watching Dark Shadows over her mother’s shoulder, and from there her love of the fanged creatures blossomed. Today, Valerie has decided to take her darker, sensual side and put it to paper.

When she is not busy creating a world full of steamy, hot men and strong, seductive women, she juggles her time between a full-time job, hubby and dog, in Northern IL.

It all started with just a kiss.

The first was ten years ago in high school.

Our second was in a bar on the dance floor. 

We agreed to keep things casual.

But we were like a fire burning behind closed doors. 

Those sparks had me wanting more. 

When I took a shot in the dark and asked for more,

it brought us to the ultimate crossroads.

Do we do things right, with just a kiss goodbye?

Or do we do things right, with a kiss goodnight?

Ahh im so glad Lee and Allison’s story was continued i loved their connection in rumors goin round. Allison and Lee went to high school together and always had that crush on each other but never took it anywhere. One-night at the local bar they decided why not and give into their feelings but Lee was a one night stand kinda guy didnt want to catch feelings and Allison was just fine with that until she starts actually catching feelings in their friends with benefits situation. Will she be able to keep her feelings to herself without her heart getting hurt or is this bachelor one that never gets off the market.

Forbidden Destiny (Lee County Wolves Book 6) by [Teresa Gabelman]

Devon Stark was a loner. Moving from wolf pack to wolf pack wasn’t as exciting as it once had been. Having to follow rules wasn’t easy for him, but his respect for the Foster brothers and their new alpha, Dell Farris, made it tolerable. As the Lee County Wolves merge with the Kingsman pack Devon realizes that he was exactly where he was meant to be, especially when a beautiful newcomer catches his eye.

After being saved from a life of constant abuse, Jamie Lee was ready for a better life for herself and unborn child. Even though being unmated and pregnant was frowned upon in most packs, the Lee County Wolves had welcomed her without question. Jamie vows to find her own way among the pack because never again will she suffer under the hand of any man.

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

Gosh it seems like forever since we read Leda and Taz.  I forgot how much I loved this town of shifters and friends to the VC Warriors.

Jamie survived a LOT with Leda’s old pack. She has many scars for her abuse under the hands of Minor.  But she is strong and thriving as well as she can in the town given her unmated and pregnant status.

Devon is a player.  I mean he owns his past.  He ignores rumors and lives life.  When he saw Jamie, he knew she was different, but he wasn’t ready to admit it until this book.  When he went to deal with Malcom is when he realized his true intent for Jamie.  Malcom is going to be a good book and I am excited for who I think his mate will be.

The couple have a slow burn relationship.  He is treading lightly given the abuse she has gone through with a controlling and abusive shifter.  He wants her to know she can trust him and lean on him for everything.

When they both open their eyes, they are wondering can it all be that simple to move on together when her past comes back to claim their right with the “old ways”.  ANYONE who knows this pack should know how they feel about old ways…lol

I loved the story and how it moves the town farther and farther along.  I can’t wait for Malcom.  He needs some forgiveness even though no one blames him for what happened to Jamie in the past except himself.

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

It has been so long since I have seen the Lee County Wolves and I so needed this.

Devon is a ladies’ man can get any girl but never keeps them. That is until Jamie Lee catches his eye for the first time. Jamie Lee is with Leda’s old pack. Jamie did what she could to help her pack no matter what the price was. Minors abuse to her caused deep scars.  Is Devon able to show Jamie how she deserves to be treated and protect her.  Will Jamie Lee see that not everything you hear about someone is the truth and learn to trust Devon.

The things Devon does for not only Jamie Lee but her brother, Malcolm, is heartwarming. This is not an insta-love book but more of a slow burn. Devon was amazing when trouble comes knocking on Jamie Lee’s door but Jamie is never the one to sit back and watch.  When she decides to take things into her own hands Devon about flips.

I loved getting back to this pack and town.  The town keeps growing and progressing. It was great to see all the pack and learn more about some of the new pack members.  I have to say I’m excited to learn more about Malcolm and meet his mate.

Leave a comment

When rumors start circling,

Do you walk the other way?

Or give them something to talk about?

She was the one I always secretly wanted

But it was never meant to be,

I landed myself in the friend zone.

He was my high-school crush,

Who grew up into the single sexy dad,

Putting his life on the line with every fire he fought.

One spin around the dance floor has our friends talking,

Wondering if we could get any closer.

We blew the rumors off until one day, we really gave them something to talk about.

Review by Twinsie Dee

I bought this book and this is my honest opinion

Tucker was a single dad who was a local firefighter. His daughter’s mom and him had a great co parenting relationship. He was all for wanting a relationship but wasn’t sure when it would happen so he just focused on his daughter and job.  Lindsay was a busy ER nurse and was basically the one who got away in Tuckers eyes even though they never really had a thing but they knew each other their whole life and always had that crush.  When all of their friend are out at the local bar and Tucker takes Lindsay out on the dance floor and is holding her real close. That how those rumors started to go around but they weren’t going to let that stop them they were gonna give them something to talk about. But will there busy life’s get in the way of their happiness and will Tucker’s daughter like having to share her daddy with someone else. This was such a cute story i loved Tucker and his daughter Paisley is the best. I love when books have kids in them just adds that extra cuteness to them.
