#NewRelease #Shifters #Dragons #2ndChance – Ashes To Flames (Sparks of Desire #4) by Valerie Twombly

Ashes To Flames (Sparks Of Desire #4)

Learning to trust is something Reese can’t seem to get a grasp on. Every time he tries, he gets burned. When sexy Brooke walks back into his life, the firefighter puts up a wall of resistance that will keep him from making the same mistake twice. Problem is he loved her once, and she walked away. Now she’s asking for forgiveness and he’s not sure he can give it.

Being a mix of dragon and human presents its challenges. Even more demanding is Brooke’s shifter father who she can’t seem to say no to. When an unforeseen event forces her to run away from love, and back home to daddy, she doesn’t think she will ever see Reese again. Coming back to Kirkwood means facing what she left behind and questioning what her future holds.

Old emotions threaten to resurface, but things are more complicated than before. Reese can’t forgive and Brooke’s father demands she marries someone else. Trust and loyalty rip these two apart, but sometimes it only takes a spark to create a flame from ash and change destiny forever.

THIS BOOK IS A STAND ALONE STORY.

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

I am such a huge fan of shifter books and I love a great dragon story so when I saw this book, I snagged it.

Reese is totally hating in women thanks to his awesome ex wife Megan…please not that is a full sarcastic sentence because she is totally not awesome.  To sleep with your husbands’ brother is kinda not cool…se why I say she is not awesome??  Any who, Brooke and Reese have some back story of a few nights of “friends with benefits” sleepovers.  Well in the past Brooke up and left which kinda made Reese a grumpy man yet again.  Seems he was falling hard for Brooke.

Brooke is a hot mess.  She is a half shifter annnd she finds out she is a very special half shifter.  She is the QUEEN Shifter and the legendary Dragon Shifter who everyone has been waiting for.  When Brooke’s dad finds out he decided she needed to marry a “proper” full blooded dragon.  EXCEPT, wellllll…….Brooke has gone and fallen in love with Reese too.

Those two have some serious communication issued however they sure can express themselves fine in the bedroom.  Well again, due to lack of communication, they have a falling out buuuut not before Brooke ‘s Dragon leaves Reese with a small parting gift…..wanna know? READ THE BOOK!!

Wanna know what else happens to Reese before he can try to claim his women??  WELP you gotta read the book people.  Seriously this book was a fast and great read.

Reese and Brooke are a great couple to read about and I loved their story immensely!!

#WOTR20 #ReleaseDay #Review – Control Us, Next Generation #1 by JM Walker

 
Title: Control Us (Next Generation, #1)
Author: J.M. Walker 
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 16, 2020 
Cover Designer: Just Write. Creations
Zach
She was innocent. Passionate. Fierce. After Luna Stone and I went from friends to lovers, my only purpose was showing her how worthy I was. But how could I convince her when I didn’t believe it myself? I craved her touch and her smiles but most of all, her heart. I vowed to protect her and show her father that I could be the man for his daughter. I pushed. She pulled. And when all was said and done, I’d have to go through an even higher power to prove that I deserved her… Myself.
 Luna
He was quiet. Withdrawn. Intense. Zach Porter and I had been friends since we were kids, but it had never amounted to anything more than that. Until now. But as close as we were getting, he was still closed off. He protected his heart and put up walls, even though he had no reason to. He shoved. I grabbed hold and never let go. If I didn’t fight for what was ours, he’d succumb to his demons and believe their vicious words telling him that he’s not good enough. To give up. On us.
 

I received this book from the author.

What a hell of a ride do we go on in this story.

Zachary is a boy with a past.  We know he has the same darkness in him which is why Coby and Brogan adopt him.  They can see the same darkness in him that they have.  They know what he will need to control his darkness.

Luna is her dads everything.  He loves her and his son, Vice Jr.  He and Creena will do anything to make sure she is happy and healthy.  Luna is the sweet, innocent one in the bunch of all the kids.  She is the one who has loved Zachary since she first met him.  She isn’t afraid of him and wants to be his everything.

Zach has looked at Luna like a kid but one night he soon sees her as MORE and that scares the hell out of him.  She is his best friend, his confident, his one true light in the darkness.  She never judges him for his countless women or man whoring ways.  When he finally opens his eyes and accepts what she is giving him, they combust into heat and chemistry.

People these two…sweet baby Jesus…the chemistry.  So many times, I was cheering and then a cockblock would happen and I felt jut as frustrated at they did.  LOL  I was like GET A DAMN ROOM ALREADY!!

Luna and Zach have a few issues to deal with.  His fear that he isn’t enough thanks to Luna’s dad and his own personal demons.  Luna’s afraid her inexperience and her jealousy will be the cause of their breakup.  The two fight for what they have and who they want to be with.

This is a great story about overcoming your flaws and personal demons to see the person you really are and what everyone else sees you to be.

Moments (The Novus Pack Series Book 4)

Shockwaves from the brutal assault on the Seer are still resonating through the Novus Pack. In their world of predators and prey, even the strongest can be brought down by malicious schemes and long buried secrets. Included are four short stories that take place around the time of M. Jayne’s book Feel Me.

Sophia: This headstrong doctor is enthralled by her new-found freedom and will stop at nothing to protect it. No longer will she allow herself to be used as a pawn by anyone.

Asher: After tirelessly pursuing Issa for over a year, he’s shocked by her sudden invitation to join her in Ohio. Will her motives make his dreams come true, or thrust him back into crippling loneliness?

Bayla: Everything was fine until that insanely sexy Lycan sauntered into her life. Now she finds herself struggling to focus on her own safety while pondering if the mating of a Lycan and a Witch could ever work.

Basil: When he uncovers a plot to overthrow the Laird and to imprison the Seer, Basil leaps into action. He would sooner lay down his life than to allow another Queen to die.

A finalist for the Holt Medallion for Literary Excellence Award, find out why readers are falling in love with M. Jayne’s Novus Pack!


Goodreads



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

I am a super fan of this series.  I will say you need to read the books in order or none of this will make sense.

I love this different POV from the secondary characters and what is happening during major scene in the first 2 books.  I enjoyed getting to know how people felt during important parts of the book after learning what Raider, the Seer, and the others were thinking about.

Asher and Layla are the 2 stories I am clapping about.  Every look into these love stories make my heart bust with joy!!

I live on a grain farm in Central Indiana with two mastiffs. Ginger who is the elder and thinks that she is a person. She has her own Sleep Number. Duncan Keith (named for the awesome Blackhawk and my fantasy future boyfriend) who just turned one. He knows that he is a dog and likes to sit on my feet. My husband, Mr. K. also lives with us but I’m not allowed to talk about him. He is shy and private. Please don’t try to discuss my sex scenes with him.

I started writing seriously six years ago. It takes a village to publish a book. The easiest part is getting the words out. I now work with the patient and fabulous Deliah Devlin who deals with my dislike and sometimes too much like of commas. Fiona Jayde and Sahara Kelly each work on my covers. I use three proofreaders to look for problems. I also depend on the lovely Francesca for insight and a butt kicking when necessary. Plus my incredible Admanistrative Assistant, David, who is as brilliant as he is handsome. They all help me make the most of my ideas.

I write about older characters because they are more interesting to me. They are to the point in life where they know what they don’t know. I currently have three series. The Casino Nights series is my hottest. It revolves around the members of Team 2 at the Red Rose Casino in Las Vegas. This group tends to allow their pasts to dictate their futures. The Cameron Farms Trilogy is small town based and features redemption and second chances. The Change Series is about people who are unhappy in their current place in life and when opportunity presents itself- they grab it with both hands.

I love to interact with readers and talk books. Any books. Follow me on Social Media and please come to a signing. I hope to see you soon.

Happy Reading!

Goodreads



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

What another great read in a favorite MC series of mine!!!

I loved the parents but am jut as in love with the kids.

Kick is raised by Boomer, one of the original members of the MC.  Boomer raised him and taught him the importance of family.  Kick goes off to serve in the military when he returns to join the club.  Family is everything for him especially after everything that happened.

Diem is a girl who goes to the club for some fun.  She meets Kick and had a one-night stand.  The two think they will never see each other again but as Diem is soon learning her world is not all she thought it was.   Diem learned her princess life isn’t as blessed as she thought it was.

The couple are thrown together when band things start happening.  Kick starts to wonder if maybe having an old lady isn’t all that bad and will do anything to protect her.

If you are a fan of the series, you will not be disappointed in the new couple.

#REVIEW #WOTRAUTHOR – In The Pursuit Of Charity by Alexandria Sure

He expected her to recognize him.
He expected her to be seduced by his charms.
He expected her to fall for him.
Expectations are a funny thing …

When his parents named him Herbert Lincoln James, they already had expectations that Linc would attend an ivy league university and go into politics. Linc didn’t. As captain of his swim team, he was expected to win the big relay to carry his swim team to the state championship for the first time in decades. Linc didn’t. Society expected him to walk past her. He couldn’t.

She expected him to see through her.
She expected him to make her into a joke.
She expected him to be cruel.
Expectations are a funny thing …

Twinsie Jo’s Review:

Let me start by saying that reading the sweeter and less dirty books sometimes, is a nice change.

Now for my review. So…Linc is a professional swimmer. Athletic, good looking, has all the friends and gets all the girls. Oh and he comes from money too. Alexis on the other hand is none of those things. She plus-sized and closed off. Especially when Linc starts to show interest in her. I mean, after years of being talked down, made fun of and so on, who wouldn’t shut down and put up walls to protect their heart?

Man, did I ever feel for Alexis. Linc…at times I wanted to slap him but at the same time, I got it. These feelings were new for him. What I loved most about him was that he didn’t care about Alexis’s size. He could have stood up for her a little better – he even noticed that he made some mistakes in that department – with his mother who I loathe by the way and with his friends. Harrison. That boy drove me nuts and I wanted to punch him in the face. And his mother??? These people not being supportive of Linc and his feelings for Alexis, drove me crazy. Good job on that part, Alexandria!

As I was nearing the end of the book, I was on the edge of my seat. I was hoping and chomping at the bit for their happily ever after. Do they get it? I guess you’ll have to one-click to find out!

#NewRelease #Review – The Rich Boy by Kylie Scott

The Rich Boy

I’m the type of girl who’s given up on fairy tales. So when Beck – the hot new busboy at work – starts flirting with me, I know better than to get my hopes up. Happily ever afters aren’t for the average. I learned that the hard way.

But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world?

Only there’s so much more to him than that.
Billionaire playboy? Check.
Troubled soul? Check.
The owner of my heart, the man I’ve moved halfway across the country to be with, who’s laying the world at my feet in order to convince me to never leave? Check. Check. Check.

But nobody does complicated like the one percent.

This is not your everyday rags-to-riches, knight-in-shining armor whisking the poor girl off her feet kind of story. No, this is much messier.


Goodreads


I received a copy of this book from the author.

I enjoyed reading Alice and Beck book. Alice was spunky and thought quick on her feet. Beck was determined to get what he wanted and keep it and that was Alice.

Alice and Beck meet in the bar where she is a waitress and he is a bus boy. Seeing this relationship blossom was great. He told her from jump that she was going to be his wife. They start hanging out getting to know each other when Beck is called back home because of the death of his father.

Alice decides to follow Beck to Colorado and man does her world get turned upside down. Beck and his family are nothing like hers. His family try to get her to fit in. you know new clothes, new hair, makeup and grandma even sends her to a social event in her place. OH boy did that backfire on grandma. Alice has to deal with a lot between both his family and the public in general.

Alice does it all with grace and sass. She doesn’t let people walk all over her no matter who they are. The instant connection that Alice and Beck have was refreshing and I did enjoy watching their relationship grow despite all the roadblocks.

A few of my favorites:

“There are going to be people who don’t like me. And there are certainly going to be people who don’t like us together. But the thing is, they don’t matter. It’s up to you and me to decide what’s best for us.”

One of these days, when he yet again fails to warn me about something, I’m going to slap the boy right upside his handsome face. Or not so accidentally kick him in his sleep.

“I haven’t joined a cult,” I say. “But I have discovered what a salad fork is. Useful information, that.”

I don’t think any relationship worth having is always going to be easy. We’re two different people with our own thoughts and feelings. The fact that we also come from two very different worlds just adds to the challenge.”

A thing Mom once told me that seems pertinent is this: even heroes fuck up sometimes. At the end of the day, they too are only human.”

New York Times and USA Today Best Selling Author – Kylie is a long time fan of love stories, rock n roll, and B-grade horror films. Based in Queensland, Australia, she reads, writes, and never dithers around on the internet.

#REVIEW #WOTRAuthor – Uppercase (The F*cked Series, #1) by RK Gleason

There have been countless theories about how to survive a zombie outbreak. All of them based on impossibilities and conjecture turned into fantasies and science fiction. No one truly needed to prepare themselves, because no one believed it could ever really happen…

But now, Dave and Pam Richter are trapped in the impossible.

Forced to race against the spread of a rabid plague from a source no one suspected, and those ordered to contain and destroy it.

Playing dead has taken on a chilling new meaning.

Twinsie Jo’s Review:

I’m usually a romance girl. It’s been my genre and go-to ever since I was a teen sneaking those “dirty” Harlequin romance books when my parents weren’t looking. Well sometimes, we need a break and a change from what we’re normally used to.

Besides romance books, I LOVE horror movies but I don’t usually read horror novels. I’ve read a few and have loved them but if you put a romance and a horror in front of me, I would probably always grab the romance.

Well I am glad that I gave this little story a chance!

Pam and Dave are hand’s down two of the best characters I have ever read. Their banter back and forth – they’ve been married for years – is hilarious. But while this little story is jam packed with humor, there’s also a serious side to it as well. I went into this story completely blind. I didn’t read the blurb ahead of time and I’m glad I decided to go that route!

This is book 1 to the F*cked Series and I already picked up book 2. I can’t wait to see what else happens to Pam, Dave and their kids while the world is…uh…dealing with the same unusual changes.

P.S. The texting scenes in this book had me dying. RK included the auto correct fails and it was beyond epic!

#CoverReveal #BonesTrilogy #RomanticSuspense #PartOfASeries -Genesis by: Paige P. Horne


With the smell of moonshine still drifting in the air, me and Johnny turn around to watch the house and the man inside burn up.

A noise from behind causes us to look back, revealing a girl with hot pink socks, black boots and wide, curious eyes.

She wasn’t supposed to be there.
She wasn’t supposed to witness what me and Johnny did that day.

The truth is, I fell for Bexley Walker the moment she promised she’d never tell.

But our time together was short lived for I am who I’ve always been. A man on the wrong side of the law. I thought I could change for her, but we can’t outrun the truth that lies within us.

I am my father’s son. Born to be a criminal.
Now, because of me, we’re both in danger. Held against our will. Tied and locked in a room together, we are forced to relive the love we once shared.
