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?

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.

Power Play by Chelsea Camaron and Ryan Michele

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

When the last book ended we see the beginning of Pax and Laurel.  Just that final scene alone tells us their relationship will be volatile in the best of ways!!  I mean to show up waving a gun at the man you love…that shows passion, right????

Pax has loved Laurel as long as he can remember.  She never looks down on him for being an orphan and has always been the light to his dark world. When his underworld dealings come crashing into her life, he does all he can to protect and FINALLY Claim what is his….HER!

Laurel has loved Pax as long as she can remember but his hot and cold plus the shredding her young heart has always made her heart guarded when he is near.  When Pax takes all of her money and kidnaps her, she is none to thrilled even IF she is 110% in love with him.

The dynamic of the two is awesome to read.  They both keep each other totally honest and open even when they don’t want to admit what they are feeling.   When Laurel learns of the danger she is in, she trusts Pax to keep her safe and even opens to heart to all the love she has for him.

Pax finally gets the girl of his dreams to FREAK OUT but gotta love Laurel for not letting him back to quickly.  She is going to make sure he knows she is in control even after everything he did to her and for her.

The build up for Dane’s books had me very interested in seeing what our favorite assassin has going on to make his cool demeanor all stressed out.

#NewRelease #review #Taboo #MayDecemberRomance #OlderManYoungerWoman #TwinsieFavoriteAuthor – My Boyfriend’s Dad: A Forbidden Romance by Jade Jamison @JadeCJamison

My Boyfriend's Dad: a forbidden romance

What I desire is something I shouldn’t have…

Everything about my life is crap—except for my relationship with my boyfriend Brendan. He’s sweet and thoughtful but maybe too much so…because he won’t take what I’m freely giving him: my body.

On my eighteenth birthday, Brendan’s dad Logan pulls me into an embrace that seems to last longer than it should, setting my mind racing with desire and thoughts of forbidden deeds, things I shouldn’t crave. The last man I should want is my boyfriend’s dad—and yet I can’t get him out of my mind. Of all the guys in the world, Logan is the one male off limits to me.

Except this older man is in my every lustful thought, driving me to distraction.

I think I could get over this crush—except I discover his feelings for me are not so innocent, leaving me torn between loyalty and desire…

Goodreads

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

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! Jade GUUURL!!!  The sexual chemistry was oooooffffff the chain in this book.  OMG I wanted to sample some of that tall drink of water AKA Her Boyfriend’s Dad AKA Logan.

Bree goes through a lot in this book.  She loves her boyfriend Bren but why wont he take things further with her *wink*.  I mean what teenage boy turns down a willing girl???  UHM not many but Brendan is all about “waiting”.  Bree seeks advice from Logan, Brendan’s dad when things start to change and develop between Bree and him.

The two have some great chemistry and when things “progress” for Bree we can see and feel the guilt she feels.  She cheated. Period.  She cheated, and it will destroy her boyfriend.  It will destroy their future.  As the book progresses, we can see Bree is really conflicted about both the men in her life.  She loves Brendan but why is she thinking about Logan.  Why does being part from Logan make her so sad.  Why is Brendan still not interested in her???

When things start to come out about Brendan’s reasons for waiting we think Bree and Logan MIGHT have a chance when a BIG Plot twists is thrown at us.  I have to admit I felt so bad and sad for her with her new possible reality.  But I still loved Logan and was praying to Sweet Baby Jesus to find away for our couple to be together.

The final chapter of the book was GREAT!!  I loved the time hop.  We got to see what everyone was doing and how everyone was feeling after a couple of years have passes.  I kinda hope we might get a book about Brendan because he is a great character plus his HEA looks like a great read!!

Jade C. Jamison

For years, Jade C. Jamison tried really hard to write what she thought was more “literary” fiction, but she found herself compelled to write what you read by her today–sometimes gritty, raw, realistic stories and other times humorous, light tales–but most of the stories she writes revolve around relationships and characters finding their way through life. While she doesn’t confine herself to just one genre, nor is there a nice neat label for what she writes, most of her work could be called erotic romance. Her main writing passions include rock star romance, romantic comedy, and romantic suspense.

She lives in Colorado with her husband and four children.

#REVIEW – Back River Quiver by Alexa Riley and Jessa Kane

Morgan is just looking to have a fun spring break until her workaholic mom brings along her new boyfriend. But when she ditches the two of them she ends up lost in a swamp, ankle deep in mud, and facing down a gator the size of Godzilla.

Rixen has been praying for God to send him his angel, his rightful mate who will live with him in the swamp and bear his children. When he finds the strawberry-blonde beauty before him in danger, he doesn’t hesitate to save her. Then claim his reward.

Warning: Okay, so, um, this is amazing terrible. This is so over the top, it’s on top of over the top. This book is on the level of ridiculous that surpasses all our stunts before this. You know what happens when we team up with Jessa Kane…but this is hands down the best/worst we’ve ever done. And we’re so proud we could wrestle a gator. Spoiler: There’s a lot of animal wrestling ahead. Grab your overalls and bug spray, we’re going in the bayou.

Twinsie Jo’s Review

Um…okay…wow. I didn’t think it was possible but this is surely this duo’s hottest book to date.

Rixen is something else. He’s all male. Animal. Beast. Powerful. And pure deliciousness.

Morgan goes on vacation. Car breaks down. She starts walking through the bayou and of course gets lots. Rixen saves the day and holy crap…I’m still reeling over this.

This story is short, over the top and like I mean, not their usual OTT ways but this is over the top to the extreme. And it was amazing. Rixen is my favourite male of these authors and I would not oppose to them writing and more and more of this couple or men like him.

I now need a smoke.

In 2012 I started writing as a fanfiction writer. I published my first full length novel in 2013. I found my love of reading again, and I wanted to try my hand at writing.

T. Torrest, J. Sterling, K. Bromberg, Aleatha Romig, Gail McHugh, K. Linde, and the list goes on…

The writing part is the easiest. I’m a pantser, and that’s the only part of my life that I can do on a whim. I must plan everything else out. My characters control my writing. It’s the only time I let go. I must be in control with everything else, it’s a character flaw. LOL

#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?

Download this sexy and suspenseful paranormal romance now!

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.

#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.
