#review #standalone #partofaseries Perfect Hideaway ( Mason Creek 23) by Bethany Lopez 

Leave a comment

Being a retired military man and owner of my own security company made moving back home to help my dad an easy decision. He’s always been there for me, so I’d drop anything to be there for him. When my new superstar client needs to hide away from the paparazzi, I figure Mason Creek is the perfect place for her to lay low. Too bad that while I was protecting her, I wasn’t protecting my heart.

Review by Twinsie Dee

I was given this book by the author for an honest review

Melody was the newest country singer on the road and one night after a show she was getting dressed when a stalker barged in to her dress room and didn’t care how many lines he was crossing. It was then that her manager decided she needed a break and a safe hideaway til the crazy calmed down and he knew right where she needed to go Mason Creek where an amazing security team was located. Well it was being moved there but the owner was there and he was the best former military in the business. Enzo loved his job he had high profile clients all over and starting his business in California was the reasoning for that, so when he got a call from a friend that a country star needed a place to hide out that be safe he knew he was ready for that job. But when these two are together all day every day while Melody was out of Nashville and living under his roof, will they be able to keep it business casual or will feelings start to conjure up for them.

 

Bethany Lopez is a USA Today Bestselling author of more than forty books and has been published since 2011. She’s a lover of all things romance, which she incorporates into the books she writes, no matter the genre. 

When she isn’t reading or writing, she loves spending time with family and traveling whenever possible. 

Bethany can usually be found with a cup of coffee or glass of wine at hand, and will never turn down a cupcake!

Twisted Ink

Many women have fallen in love with the wrong men. I’m not the first. Hell, history is full of them.

Helen of Troy.

Anne Boleyn.

Bonnie Parker.

Elizabeth Kendall.

Oh, I’m far from alone. Now, I didn’t fall for one of America’s most notorious serial killers but still… Being in love with Jericho Fox, my mother’s ex-boyfriend, has doom written all over it.

Eat your heart out, Juliet Capulet.

Prolific Works

Review by Twinsie Kelly

I received this book from Prolific Works.

Love me some Jericho! And if I was in Eurydice’s shoes, I think I would have done the same thing!

“…fairy tales are for books in the public library, not for kids south of the train tracks.”

I have no clue how Eurydice’s mother and Jericho ended up together because momma is a hot mess…like gone off the rails of the crazy train mess. Well, Jericho wizened up and left (thank the gods) but he kept in touch with kids. He noticed an art talent that they had and tried to cultivate it. Well her brother followed in her mother’s footsteps but Eurydice keeps on keepin’ on and Jericho mentors her at his tattoo shop, and ultimately gives her a job. These two have been close and no one can come between them. But slowly things between them become “more than friends”. They both can feel this tension and have no idea how to handle it. But when that line is crossed…fireworks explode! This is a very well written story with the perfect amount of tension and angst all leading up to the grand finale of awesomeness. The only thing that I didn’t like about this is the fact that it ended! I so hope that this story continues…fingers crossed!

Naima Simone

Published since 2009, USA Today Bestselling author Naima Simone loves writing sizzling romances with heart, a touch of humor and snark. Her books have been featured in The Washington Post and Entertainment Weekly, and described as balancing “crackling, electric love scenes with exquisitely rendered characters caught in emotional turmoil.”

She is wife to Superman, or his non-Kryptonian, less bullet proof equivalent, and mother to the most awesome kids ever. They all live in perfect, sometimes domestically-challenged bliss in the southern United States.

#review #standalone #partofaseries Perfect Song (Mason Creek 2) by Lauren Runow

Leave a comment

I came back to Mason Creek when my life was turned upside down, both literally and figuratively. Scared and alone, I packed my belongings and left New York where I’ve made a career as a writer for a national publication to stay with my parents in the town so different than the big apple they might as well be on different planets.

Getting to see my friends was a big plus, but meeting someone new never crossed my mind until a ruggedly handsome man in jeans and a worn baseball cap came over to say hello. Not knowing someone in this small town is like not knowing how to breathe. The slightly older man caught my eye, just as much as I caught his. A witty and roguish personality kept me on my toes, even if falling for someone new is the last thing I need. 

Neither of us wants a relationship, yet we keep finding each other in this small town. Rumors fly, hearts connect, and there’s more at stake than either of us are willing to share. 

This man has secrets everyone wants to know, but when more than he’s willing to share is revealed I hope I’m strong enough to help him. I may have come back to town to save myself, but saving him might be the real reason I’m here.

Review by Twinsie Dee

I bought this book and this is my honest opinion

Justine is back in Mason Creek after being in New York for 10 years and she felt is was time to come home. Well actually she had something terrible happen and she needed a fresh start and needed to get away from the city. While back home her friends think its great for Justine to get out of the house and come to the local bar and while there she meets the local celebrity Tucker Simms the small town country singer who is a mystery man all in himself. He’s 15 years older then her and has a son as well but he catches her eye and she catches hers and flirting was done. With his past and her reason for coming back home will these two be able to come together and be each other’s happy ending or will their secrets be the thing that holds them back. This was such a good story it did take me a while to get into it but i think i was just burned out on the love stories so after taking a pause and coming back I couldn’t put it down. And Tucker is a total daddy 🙂 

Lauren Runow is the author of multiple Adult Contemporary Romance novels, some more dirty than others. When Lauren isn’t writing, you’ll find her listening to music, at her local CrossFit, reading, or at the baseball field with her boys. Her only vice is coffee, and she swears it makes her a better mom!

Lauren is a graduate from the Academy of Art in San Francisco and is the founder and co-owner of the community magazine she and her husband publish. She is a proud Rotarian, helps run a local non-profit kids science museum, and was awarded Woman of the Year from Congressman Garamendi. She lives in Northern California with her husband and two sons.

#WOTR #AttendingAuthor #Standalone Whisper Forever -C.A. Harms

Leave a comment



I wanted to forget him so many times. Erase the memories we shared and pretend he didn’t exist. It would have made his absence easier to accept.

Lucas Rivers broke my heart more than once.

In my world he was my guy, the one I’d grow old with and laugh with. But things aren’t that simple, and time changes everything.

That naive girl with dreams of happily-ever-afters was gone. 

I didn’t need a man to complete me. I was enough—no, I was more than enough. I was strong and determined. I was Madelyn Emery, and never again would a boy break my heart.

But the moment Lucas returned after four years, acting like we could pick up where we left off, that strength inside me shifted. The more I tried to ignore his efforts, the harder he fought.

How can one simple word whispered by one man mean so very much?

“Forever.”

As 9 year old Maddy knew she was going to married her best friend Lucas the boy from the farm next door. Well when they got to high school Lucas became the star of the football team and left Maddy behind. Well after going to college and a major injury left him off the field for good and back in the small hometown he always wanted to get away from. Will coming back lead Maddy back into his arms or did he lose her for good? This is an amazing story you are not going to want to put down.
Review by Twinsie Dee

C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She’s always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories.

She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes…thankfully.

She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better…that quietness changes, fast

#review #partofaseries #standalone Perfect Problem (Mason Creek 20) by Cary Hart  

Leave a comment

Growing up, I spent my summers in Mason Creek.

From chasing fireflies to falling in love, it holds a lot of firsts for me.

Including Jase Jackson.

My first kiss.

And my first taste of heartbreak.

The cowboy next door stole my heart that first summer, and he’s had it all this time.

We made a pact to stay in touch, but like all best laid plans, they fell apart. By the time I made it back, he was long gone traveling the world, and I was left picking up the pieces.

Now, we’re both back to say goodbye to my beloved aunt. And in true, Aunt Shirley fashion, she goes out with a bang and plays Cupid from the grave. I need his help to fix up my aunt’s place. And he needs answers. If we can play nice long enough to forgive, maybe we can work together and both get the closure we came for.

If home is where the heart is, being back in Mason Creek with Jase isn’t just a coincidence, it’s the perfect problem.

Review by Twinsie Dee

I was given this book by the author for an honest review

Savannah has been coming to Mason Creek to spend time with her aunt every summer and she may have had her eye on an older cowboy there when she was visiting. One summer she said screw it and let him know exactly how she felt and he just happened to fell the same way about her. Their summer romance lasted as long as they could let it but it was time for Savannah to go back home to get ready for college and 8 years later they still had those feelings they had for one another but they was too much hurt there or so they thought. When Jase starts to fight for his girl and Vanny slowly starts to lower her walls will their fire start to burn with passion that they had all those year ago or will it fall off a cliff and they go their separate ways. There are so many ups and downs, happy and sad moments you felt it all. And i mean Cole is still stealing the show but Jase with his essential oil knowledge woah, cowboy take me away.

Cary Hart hails from the Midwest. A sassy, coffee drinking, sometimes sailor swearing, Spotify addict, lover of all things books!

When not pushing women down the stairs in the fictional world, Cary has her hands full. Soccer mom in all sense of the word to two wild and crazy, spoiled kiddos, and wife to the most supportive husband. In addition to writing full time, she enjoys binge watching Netflix, laying around in her hammock and baking up cookies for her family and friends.

Cary writes real, raw romance! In her stories the characters deal with life’s everyday struggles and unwanted drama, they talk about the ugly and they become the broken. Everyone deserves a happy ending, but sometimes before you can appreciate the light, there has to be darkness.

Growing up, if someone would have told her she would become a writer, she wouldn’t have believed them. It wasn’t until she got her hands on her first romance novel, that the passion grew. Now she couldn’t imagine her life any other way – she’s living her dream.

Coming back to Mason Creek was never the plan…

When Faith left her small town after high school, she swore she’d never look back. But life and hard circumstances eventually opened her eyes, sending her back to Mason Creek a different person. Now a single mom, she wants to give her daughter a good life, even if it means facing the ghosts of her past…and the man she left behind.

Moving on had never been an option…

When Faith left Mason Creek, she took Mitch’s heart with her. Over a decade has passed and he’s never moved on, unable to forgive the girl who left him. Now she’s back, and there’s no avoiding her in a town as small as Mason Creek. The memories of their young love war with the new feelings she stirs within him, once again putting his heart at risk.

They were each other’s first loves, first kisses, and first heartbreaks, and the damage between them runs deep. Will their reunion end with even more devastation or will it turn into a Perfect Summer?

Review by Twinsie Dee

I bought this book and this is my honest opinion

Can sparks still fly when its been years since your heart up and left after graduation without so much as an explanation? Mitch always wondered that when his high school sweetheart left him and move to Chicago without a word, but now that she was back in Mason Creek and they have avoided each other for a year he finally bit the bullet and walking into the coffee shop when she was there. Faith had a hard time with life when she left Mason Creek she started having panic attack and ended up finding help in Chicago. She ended up married to a narcissist who played into her anxiety and ended up pregnant, after her husband died she decided it was time to move back home, she packed up her and her daughter moved home bought a house and the local salon. When Faith and Mitch finally get face to face are will their past history bring them back together or will the pain from when she left the first time leave them apart.
