March 17, 2020 Angie J Leave a comment

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.

Goodreads

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!!

March 16, 2020 Angie J Leave a comment

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.

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

March 11, 2020 Jo-Anna W Leave a comment

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!

Let’s get a bun in her oven.

I’m a cop with a sweet tooth and Dolly’s the treat I’m craving.

She’s finally ended things with her deadbeat boyfriend and I’m not missing the chance to make her mine.

Dolly’s the owner of my favorite donut shop and the woman with the best Bavarian cream in the city.

Damn, I love her jelly filling, her chocolate frosting, her perfect donut hole.

She may know how to make a mean old fashioned, but I know how to whip up baby batter that will get her maple glazed.

It’s a new year, and I’m ready to do more than get a bun in her oven.

I’ll be her baby daddy and her dream come true.

Will these two make the new year theirs and make something sweeter then donuts or will they get their donuts burnt?

Review by Twinsie Dee

Kelli writes hot and steamy romances with delicious alpha males who will not stop until they get the women they crave exactly where they want them. Kelli’s heroes are tough as nails, hot as sin, and underneath the rough exterior is a heart of gold begging to be unleashed. If you think you can tame them, you’re probably right, but it won’t be an easy journey.

Make no mistake, Kelli’s stories will give you the happily ever after you need, but they’re also steamy and packed from cover to cover with exactly what you’re looking for late at night when you leave your panties by the door.

March 4, 2020 Dee H Leave a comment

Throughout history, The Lady, Goddess of the Lycan world, has gifted werewolf packs with humans who carry her mark. Theodora Morrissey’s plans to return to college for her graduate degree are ended when she is awakened by an otherworldly voice on a rarely used airstrip in Nebraska. Injured and disoriented, she has no idea the discoloration on her back has marked her as a Seer, and that she is now a possession—and the prisoner—of the Novus Pack of Lycans.

To the Novus pack, the word of their leader, their Laird, is the law. With compelling gray eyes and long dark hair, Raider Black rules his pack with intelligence and ruthlessness. To cement the security of his pack, Black has committed to mate another Packleader’s daughter. But he’s finding it impossible to fight his attraction to the pack’s alluring new Seer, claiming her as his own.

Sweet, fearless, and unintentionally funny, Theo upends Black’s world and pushes the boundaries of his rules. How far is Black willing to go, and what will he sacrifice, to save both his pack and the human Seer who’s found a way not only into his bed, but his heart?

While Theo was still trying to figure out what the hell was going on with these new powers she suddenly had.

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

I loved catching up with my favorite people.

The book starts right off with a hot BANG!! Rystar, Thane and Brie are going away for a few days to spend time on their private island for a weekend of sexy fun!!

Right off the bat, I admit I was curious about the question Thane asks Rytsar while the three were on vacation at the beginning of the book. I mean….I thought Rystar would jump at the chance so I am wondering what is in store for him??

The rest of the book has a lot going on. I enjoyed seeing Tono and hearing about the developing bond between Autumn and him. They are the perfect blend together. I was so happy for Lea and her new hottie Hunter. She so needs someone after Liam and all he did to her. Master Anderson and Shay are adorable too.

The storyline of Brie’s documentary and how it plays into Mary’s story line made me sick to my stomach. That girl cannot catch a break. I mean we have a love hate relationship her and I. But this plot twist I did not see happening at all…..

The story line about Lilly made me nervous because we don’t’ need her causing more trouble for our family.

The end of the story was a great cliffhanger because I wanna know who is making moves and who is going to be the secret benefactor to help get things done!!!

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

This story jumps right in with a bunch of hotness and travels. Sir, Brie and Rytsar are jetting away to their private island. I love the connection that Brie, Sir and Rytsar have but my heart still hurts for Rytsar. After Brie has been spoiled by these too it is off to Italy. There are a few tears and joyous moments while seeing Nonno, Nonna and the rest of the family. My heart ached for Nonna and Nonno. However, Brie receives and amazing and unexpected gift from a friend of Sirs father. Cannot give too much away but what an amazing thing.

Brie has grown so much as a woman through these books. She has really come into her own. She has learned to stand her ground, believe in herself and not let people walk all over her. She will have to put up a fight for her documentary.

I enjoy when we get to see the rest of the gang. Amazing to see Autumn and Tono and how much she is blossoming. I’m happy for Lea she has had ups and downs but maybe Hunter is different. My heart breaks for Mary she has had a hard life and it needs to get better for her. I am ready for more I need to find out if all is going to work out because with the plot twist at the end left me in turmoil.
