#WOTR24 #EventHost #EventBlogger #HBIC – Melinda Bones A.K.A. Twinsie Melinda

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hello I’m Melinda and I am married to a wonderful guy that puts up with my book addiction. I have a teenage daughter who is usually floating around the event seeing if the authors need anything. We also have two dogs a one year old golden doodle and a 10 year old Chihuahua.

How long have you been blogging?

I started blogging in 2014 when Angie convinced me to join Twinsie Talk.

What are your favorite Genres?

I have a few favorites MC right now is my go to but I also enjoy Paranormal, Military, and Reverse Harems.

Who are some of your favorite authors?

There are so many how could I narrow it down. Most of my favorites are WOTR authors and have been for many years.

Do you prefer to read standalones or series?
Novellas or long books?

Depends on my mood that day. I like series because you get to know the characters in depth and their families. I do like a good standalone once in a while. The novellas are great when you just have a couple hours to read that day.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend reading?

I tend to read on my lunch hour and then in the evenings while waiting on my daughter to get out of practice (she keeps me on the run). It it’s an audio I can listen to those anytime.

Do you have a favorite character written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

Lucas from Broken Scars by JM Walker. He was years in the making and I loved him from the moment I saw him in a previous book in another book of JM’s. I knew he was mine from jump. He is the quiet computer guy but also a badass. There was just something about him from the beginning and I had to know more about him, his past and just needed to know who he was.

Do you have anything you want to share that didn’t fit on one of these questions?

Would love to say thank you to all the wonderful WOTR authors, bloggers, supporters and readers. Without you guys we would not be able to do this each year nor would we be able to help Thistle Farms as much as we do.

#WOTR24 #EventHost #HBIC #EventBlog – Angie Johnson A.K.A. Twinsie Angie

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

I am Angie Johnson.  I own TwinsieTalk Book Reviews. I am a “retired” Pre-K Special Education teacher.  I work as a Parent Educator in my full time job.  I have lots of crazy dogs, a kid in college, and an amazing trophy husband who lets me boss him around event weekend.  Also, I love the color pink.

How long have you been blogging?

I started blogging October 14, 2012 when Twinsietalk was created.

What are your favorite Genres?

MC, Paranormal, comedy, and occasionally I need a very dark book for my soul

Who are some of your favorite authors?

Shut up!  Who put this question on the form? Oh wait I did.  I am going to cheat and say every author who had signed at #WOTR or donated to help make any #WOTR a success!

Do you prefer to read standalones or series?
Novellas or long books?

  Man, this is a tough one.  I love the in and out of a novella but a good series is a delicious thing.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend reading?

I listen to audio books for a minimum of 90 minutes a day when I get ready in the morning and when I drive.  If I am driving a lot that day I can get up to 4 hours of listening in.

Do you have a favorite character written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

This is a tough one.  I am going to say my hardcore love is Bryan “Baldy” Alan from Steel MC Montana Charter.  I fell super hard for him in book one of the series.  Michel Prince and co-writer Wren McCabe made me wait until book 4…ruuuuuuuude I tell ya.  I will absolutely fight someone for him.  I have a lot of characters I love or feel a way about but he just captured my heart from jump.

#WOTR24 #EventHost #HBIC #EventGraphics – Breanna Young

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hi, I’m Bree. I work in the accounting department by day and graphics department by night! I love to read, watch tv/movies, and do anything outdoors. Horror themed everything is my true passion! I live in the flat center of Indiana, but enjoy taking trips and exploring outside of here as much as I can.

What are your favorite Genres?

My favorite genres are contemporary (especially single parent and age gap), LGBTQ, and paranormal (mostly shifters).

 Do you prefer to read standalones or series?
Novellas or long books?

I prefer to read long book series. There is nothing better than getting to know the characters and build that attachment to them as the story goes on. My favorite is when a series continues with the side characters stories. You really get a true feel for the characters, side characters, and even the towns.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend reading?

Usually, I will spend a few hours a day reading. Once I am off the clock at work (and even on my lunch breaks!), I like to sit down and snuggle up with my blanket and book. Time seems to get lost as soon as the story begins/continues.

 Do you have anything you want to share that didn’t fit on one of these questions?

I love to talk about books and meet new people!

#NewRelease – Pine River by: Tijan

Pine River by Tijan is now live!

​​Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me.

And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy.
Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him.
 
Scout Raiden.
Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing.
He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up.
 
The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.
It was lust-want-must have-loathing-hate all at once. I was affected.
And I couldn’t have that. No way.
Not after what I’d just left in Cedra Valley.
 
I didn’t care how much money his uncle had.
I didn’t care that it seemed every girl wanted him.
I didn’t care about his reputation as an up-and-coming fighter.
Or the promise of how those hands would make me feel.
 
What I did care about was staying as far away from Scout as possible.
Because the promise of his presence, the heat that was going to turn the light back on in my world wasn’t a promise at all.
It was a threat.
 
I wasn’t going to survive Scout Raiden.

#release – Perfect Fling by Carly Phillips

Perfect Fling
She’s the town good girl.
He’s the sexy bad boy.
But a one-night stand is about to bring consequences neither expects.

Serendipity assistant district attorney Erin Marsden rarely makes mistakes and is perfectly content with her predictable life, thank you very much. Until the day sexy Cole Sanders returns to town and tempts her off her good-girl path.

After seven years of deep undercover work, Cole Sanders comes home to help his aging dad and rediscover his buried sense of right and wrong. He’s not there to get involved with the town’s good-girl, who has always been off limits to a bad boy like him.

But Cole’s a rebel at heart and he just can’t ignore their blazing-hot chemistry. He also can’t ignore the consequences of their intense one-night stand—Erin is pregnant with his baby.

As if that’s not enough to make his protective instincts kick in, Erin’s current case has danger written all over it. But Cole is determined to protect the woman he loves, and Erin finds herself succumbing to his alpha demands.

Now Cole just needs to prove to both himself and Erin that he can give her and their baby the love they deserve.

#NewRelease – Bared Betrayal by Bella J 

I have a huge diamond ring on my finger, something that shows the world I’m spoken for. To me, it’s a reminder of a secret I can’t take with me when I walk down the aisle.

My new fiancée just became an overnight sensation on the Hollywood scene, and we went from quiet dinners to champagne towers and caviar croquettes with A-listers. While Sebastian basks in his newfound fame, I’m trying to figure out how to fix myself so I can be a good wife.

Deep down, I know there’s only one way. I need to face my demons rather than try and bury them. But Sebastian can’t be the one to help me do it. He can’t know my secret, not if I want a future with him, a man whose life is now under the public spotlight.

It has to be someone else. A complete stranger. Someone I’ll never see again. Better yet, someone who won’t care; who won’t ask questions or hesitate when I tell him what it is I need.

It’s the only way.

Just one night, one stranger, and my own twisted game to try and break free from my past.

But my world implodes when I realize I’ve merely traded one secret for another—and that secret just walked in at my engagement party introducing himself as Gabriel King…

My future father-in-law.
