#Review #Shifter Blackstone Lion (Blackstone Mountain Book 5) by Alicia Montgomery

Luke Lennox knows he doesn’t deserve happiness. After tearing his family apart, he’s been punishing himself by living a solitary life. But when he sees Georgina Mills, the animal inside him knows: she’s his mate. His lonely heart yearns for her, but he knows that it could only end up badly for them both.

After being rescued from the clutches of an evil anti-shifter organization, Georgina Mills has finally settled in Blackstone with her young bear shifter son. She’s got a job, a home, and Grayson is finally around people like him. Now, if only the handsome, golden-eyed lion shifter who rescued them would notice her … but she’s knows she’s not exactly a catch. Besides, keeping Grayson safe is her priority for now, so her heart will have to take a backseat.

As their enemies advance on Blackstone, Luke must do everything he can to protect his home. He must also deny his growing attraction to Georgina, though he can only fight for so long before he must give in to his desires.

But Georgina is keeping a secret – one that’s so terrible and unforgivable and she doesn’t know if she can keep it under wraps for long.

When the truth is finally revealed, can Luke and Georgina’s love keep them together? Or will it destroy them, along with Blackstone?

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book

Yay!! We finally get to my favorite mysterious shifter in the Lennox family, Luke.  Adopted into the family when he was found as a cub he is a lion shifter in a family of dragon shifters.  As a adult he is estranged from his family for the most part and lives a solitary life coming to the Lennox’s only when needed.

Georgia Mills and her shifter son Grayson were saved, from a group of people that were kidnapping and experimenting on shifters, by Luke in previous book Blackstone Wolf.

Luke and Georgia find themselves attracted to each other, but Luke doesn’t want to be around anyone not even a beautiful woman who could be his mate and her young son who needs help controlling his shifting.

Georgia knows if Luke finds out her dark secret he and everyone in Blackstone will be after her and possibly her son.

Oh my goodness, Montgomery has got writing a story about reluctant mates down pat and does a awesome job at it.

I have so been waiting for Luke’s story since book one, wanting to know what makes him tick and where he came from.  This story was so worth the wait.  

Luke and Georgia have both been through so much in their lives they are like two halves that form a whole, 

Seeing them find themselves and seeing Luke interact with Grayson is totally awesome.  A love story at it’s finest.

Plus, no Blackstone Mountain story is complete without the antishifter group making a appearance and boy do they make one in this one.

I can’t wait to see who is next to find love on Blackstone Mountain.

#WOTR18 #ReleaseDay #Review- Chasing Dove by Brandy L. Rivers

38821404

Secrets buried in the past will guide the way.

After solving the riddles of her father’s journal, Jacinda has finally found what she was looking for—and something she didn’t expect—love. With nightmares plaguing her, she runs away to protect the man who claimed her heart.

Unable to let her go, Chatan follows Jacinda, determined to prove she needs help. And not just his. She has more family than she believes, and they have the means and willingness to help stop Thanatos.

Chatan has to convince her running isn’t the answer while uncovering the deep secrets of the relics she’s found, and how she can use them to stop Thanatos.

To finally free her from the past, they will have to discover dark pieces of their families’ history. Their destiny is entwined with a prophecy, an ancient war, and each other. What side will they choose?

Goodreads

 


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

Chasing Dove picks up from the end of Finding Hawk. Jacinda has a terrifying nightmare that has her running from the man she loves to try to and save her mother.

Chatan refuses to loose Jacinda so he follows her the best way he knows how. He has to find a way for her to see there are others out there that care about her and want to help.

The bond Chatan and Jacinda have is unbreakable. I loved watching Chatan and Jacinda grow closer together. Also enjoyed seeing some of the council members but to see Jacinda and Brent learn more about each other was heartwarming. One of my favorite scenes was the tattoos that Chatan’s brother does for them. The other was how Chatan ended up staying with Jacinda in the hotel and car rides.

#CoverReveal – Ruthless Mountain Man by Jenika Snow & Kelsey King

 

 

I moved to the mountains to get away from everyone and everything. All I want is peace and quiet and it’s worked well for me over the last decade. But then she moves in next door and disrupts my solitude.

Kylie—my new neighbor—with her smartass mouth and destructive dog. It’s obvious she doesn’t belong here with her designer boots and city girl attitude but she’s stubborn and won’t listen to reason. Despite all that, there’s no denying I want her. Her sass and defiance get under my skin and admittingly turn me on. It’s a love/hate relationship in the most inconvenient way possible.

When a snowstorm comes barreling through, it’s Kylie who’s at my doorstep needing heat and food because she’s completely unprepared. Although I warned her, she finally admits I was right. Between my hatred for her dog and her distaste for me, things are bound to get complicated.

Secluded in my cabin together means the temperature rises, the gloves come off—but most of all—the arousal and chemistry moving between us reaches its breaking point.

#Review #TwinsieForTheDayJodan – The Beard By: Haylee Thorn

The Beard

How far would you go to make your dreams come true?

Mackenzie Hart’s dreams of opening her very own restaurant are dashed when her dirt bag boyfriend takes her to the cleaners. It’s the final blow leaving her desperate and destitute. Tired of being kicked while she’s down, she knows she needs to do something drastic to change her fate.

But pouring her heart out to a handsome stranger may have just changed her luck for the better. Brock Walker needs a wife. And fast. If she agrees to help him with his problem, he promises to fund her dream of opening a restaurant.

It’s an offer she can’t refuse. All her troubles will be solved. Until she meets his twin brother, Ashton and all her plans go to hell…

Goodreads

Review by Jordan

This rom com is a total hit. It is full of drama and comedy. It’s a cute fun story where a relationship becomes a business deal. Brock and M are all set to have a marriage of convenience, but Brock’s twin brother will throw a wrench into this agreement at every turn. I can’t tell you how many times I giggled while reading about this wild agreement. I loved this book and will definitely be looking for more books by Haylee Thorn.

When Haylee Thorne isn’t writing her stories, she works proudly as a registered nurse in Kentucky. Haylee loves to read and watch TV (she may or may not be slightly obsessed with anime), and there aren’t many movies she has not seen. She’s known to enjoy a good glass of champagne, and can eat an unlimited amount of French fries (seriously, it’s a problem). When she has some free time (as in time not spend working or writing), Haylee loves spending time with her family and friends.

#REVIEW – Baby Fever (A Real Man, #3) by Jenika Snow

He’s done being the bad boy … he’s ready to be a father.

DEX

I’ve never seen myself settling down. But then life, reality, hell, my biological clock slapped me right across the face. I knew what I wanted.

A baby.

At thirty-nine I was having a severe case of baby fever, and that meant convincing the one woman I’ve always wanted but knew was too good for me, to be mine and be the mother of my child.

EVA

I’ve always wanted Dex. He’s all raw power and cut muscle. He’s the epitome of what a real man is.
He throws me a curve ball and says he wants me not only as his woman … but the mother of his child.

I’ll be honest; it’s what I’ve always wanted.

DEX

Eva deserves better than me, but I’m too selfish, and I want her too badly to back away. Nothing will stop me from making her mine … and putting my baby inside her.

Warning: This book is short and right to the point—like the kind of story that gives you whiplash. Of course it’s unbelievable, dirty in the good kind of way, and is filled with insta-everything. If you want some baby making goodness, you make enjoy this.

Twinsie Jo’s Review:

Dex is on a mission and his best friend’s little sister is it. Dex is ready to settle down but he only has one woman in mind. Even though she’s much younger than him, age is only a number in his mind.

Eva has always had a thing for her older brother’s best friend but never thought the feeling was mutual until Dex finally has enough.

Sparks fly. Passion ignites.

If you love insta-love, over the top story lines like I do, you will love this series.

#Review #TwinsieForTheDayJordan – Under the Lights by Tia Louise

Under the Lights (Bright Lights Duet, #1)

From USA TODAY bestselling author Tia Louise comes a sexy new tale of love, loss, and survival in sultry New Orleans…

UNDER THE LIGHTS

Heroes don’t last long around here… 

Fall in love with the sexiest girl in New Orleans?
Check. 
Prepare to die for her?
Double-check. 

Larissa is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
She’s the rising star of the Pussycat Angels, the hottest burlesque show in the French Quarter.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw her.
The curve of her breast outlined by sparkling rhinestones.
Slim hips wrapped in black fishnets.
Long, dark hair…

She’s the Dark Angel who stole my heart.
Her body is intoxicating, our love overwhelming.

Cat eyes and blood red lips.
Sizzling fingers on white-hot skin.
I couldn’t keep my hands off her…

But her fame had a dark side,
A sinister shadow lurking under the lights. 

I would do anything to save her…
He would do anything to see me dead.

(A CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE.)

Review by Jordan

I honestly couldn’t stop reading this book. If i regret anything, its that i didn’t start “Under the Stars” immediately! The dynamic couple who are the lead of the story are completely unconventional in how their relationship starts and proceeds. They are essentially forbidden from the very beginning. What kind of relationship can a dancer and a handyman truly have when both are tied to the dance club for their incomes. Their innocent love becomes a spot of contention when the owner becomes aware of what is going on behind closed doors. Everything is okay as long as he is getting a cut. I can’t wait to finish the series to find out if their love was true love or just a washed up dream. Tia Louise writes amazing stories filled with untraditional love matches that make you fall for the hero just as much as the heroine does.

Tia Louise is the USA Today best-selling, award-winning author of 20 sexy romance and romantic suspense novels.

After being a teacher, a book editor, a journalist, and finally a magazine editor, she started writing love stories and never stopped.

Louise lives in the Midwest with her trophy husband, two teenage geniuses, and one grumpy cat.

#WOTR18 #Review #TwinsieForTheDayJordan #Dark #DarkErotica – Freed by Elena M. Reyes and N. Isabelle Blanco

Elena M. Reyes is our attending author.

Freed (Voyeur Book 5) (Voyeur Series)

They wanted this.
To strip us of our humanity. Devolve us back to our most basic forms.
They used our love for each other as the trigger.
Now, they’ve succeeded. They’ve turned us into something else.
Into creatures willing to spill all their blood, end-all their lives, in the hopes of finally being freed.
Even if we die in our attempt to escape, Noah and I are determined to take as many of them down with us as we can.
Before it’s all over, we will all bleed for their sins.
All of us.

WARNING: This story isn’t for everyone. Please read with caution. Contains graphic violence and explicit situations some might find disturbing. Read at your own risk.

Goodreads

Review by Jordan

 

 

If haven’t read this series then you seriously don’t know what you are missing! I have devoured each and ever one of the books. Freed was one that I had desperately been awaiting. Is this the finale I wanted? NO! There are so many questions that I still have and so many more were created from reading this book. I love the characters and I have enjoyed their struggles as well as their realizations about their feelings for one another!

Elena M. Reyes was born and raised in Miami Florida. She is the epitome of a Floridian and if she could live in her beloved flip-flops, she would.
As a small child, she was always intrigued by all forms of art—whether it was dancing to island rhythms, or painting with any medium she could get her hands on. Her first taste of writing came to her during her fifth-grade year when her class was prompted to participate in the D. A. R. E. Program and write an essay on what they’d learned.
Her passion for reading over the years has amassed her with hours of pleasure. It wasn’t until she stumbled upon fanfiction that her thirst to write overtook her world. She now resides in Central Florida with her husband and son, spending all her down time letting her creativity flow and letting characters grow

 

#NewRelease #TwinsieForTheDayBecky #Review – KNOTTED (Trails of Sin #1) by Pam Godwin

It’s LIVE!

KNOTTED, Book #1 in the TRAILS OF SIN series

Genre: Dark Cowboy Romance
Series: HEAs with no cliffhangers. Each book is a different couple. Must be read in order.

Amazon | Other Retailers | Goodreads

I try to forget her.
It’s impossible.

Growing up together, Conor and I shared all our firsts.
First love, first kiss, first…
Not all our firsts.

We were sixteen the night she was violently assaulted while I helplessly watched.
I’ll never forget the sounds of her suffering.
Or my inconsolable agony when she left Oklahoma.

Years later, she returns to honor our teenage pact.
Except the boy she loved is gone, replaced by a ruthless cattle rancher knotted with secrets.
She doesn’t know my dark cravings or the trails of sin that lead to her.

I don’t deserve her, but one truth remains.
She’s mine.

Review by Becky

Knotted by Pam Godwin

I was give a copy of the book for my honest review.

The four musketeers, Jake, Conor, Jarret, and Lorne, grew up together in a joint home with their fathers.  Both of their mother’s were killed in an automobile accident when they were young. Jake and Conor were a couple.  On Conor’s 16th birthday, Jake and Conor were going to take their relationship to the ultimate intimate level and Jarret and Lorne were going to be the look out team.  Jake and Conor’s relationship was not condoned by the fathers. Jake had a bit of a bondage desire….hmmm….a cowboy with a liking to rope.   That rope desire played in the special night of coming that Jake had planned.  Someone had other plans….before Jake and Conor could become one, there were attacked.  Conor was brutally raped while Jake had to endure by watching.  Jarret and Lorne were able to get loose and get Jake loose and they chased down the abusers.  During the chase, Lorne shot and killed a man.  He was arrested and jailed for the murder.

Pam weaved the story of the after math of Conor’s rape and Lorne’s incarceration in the way Pam does best – twists and turns.  When Jake has things in place, he brings Conor back to the ranch.  The deep love Jake has for Conor is unmistakable.  He has done his homework to help Conor address and work through her triggers from the rape and events following.

After the rape, the group make a pact to end any torment of Conor by her jailed rapist once he was released from prison.

I thoroughly enjoyed Jake and Conor’s story and look forward to reading about Jarret and Lorne’s stories.

Kudos Pam! Another written success!

Title: Perfectly Lonely
Series: Let Me In Series #2
Author: Jessica Marin
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 2018
Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs

 

I’ve loved and lost. Now I lose myself in mindless sex, drinking and work, anything to pass the time and fill the void that I feel. Another drink, another guy…until Chase Wilson. He’s not what I expect, turns out he’s also not who I thought. Then again, neither am I. 

 


 

Some might call what I’m doing destructive, I call it survival. When finally putting myself out there backfires, I vow not to let it happen again. I know what my body wants, but it’s not what my heart needs and it’s about time I learn the difference.
As life around me moves on, I realize life is worth living and that I’m worth loving. But old habits die hard as I struggle to understand Chase’s motives for trying to save me from myself.
One thing is clear. For the first time, I’m done being perfectly lonely.

 

Jessica Marin began her love affair with books at a young age from the encouragement of her Grandma Shirley. She has always dreamed of being an author and finally made her dreams of writing happily ever after stories a reality. She currently resides in Tennessee with her husband, children and fur babies. When she is not hanging out with her family, she loves watching a good movie, going dancing with the ladies, sniffing essential oils and daydreaming of warm beaches, winning the lotto and world peace.
