#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 Withdrawn.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.

J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who hit USA Today with Wanted: An Outlaw Anthology. She loves all things books, pigs and lip gloss. She is happily married to the man who inspires all of her Heroes and continues to make her weak in the knees every single day.

#WOTR20 #review #Shifters #Novella #POVs – Moments (The Novus Pack Series Book 4) by M Jayne

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!

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!

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.

USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Chelsea Camaron is a small town Carolina girl with a big imagination. She is a wife and mom chasing her dreams.

She writes contemporary romance, erotic suspense, and psychological thrillers. She loves to write blue-collar men who have real problems with a fictional twist. From mechanics to bikers to oil riggers to smokejumpers, bar owners, and beyond, she loves a strong hero who works hard and plays harder.

#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 this book from the author.

First up, thank you Kylie for all the Jane Austen references.  It made my heart happy especially the Pride and Prejudice ones. #MrDarcyIsMyBookBoyfriend

Ok Alice and Beck.  Alice is the waitress and Beck is the busboy.  Seems pretty typical of a set up right?  Two employees hit it off and start to flirt and spend time together right?? Alice is happy living life the way she is ..simple and easy.  Beck appears all broody and with mystery, but she is intrigued.  When he has to leave, she is a bit saddened by his departure.  I mean they were getting married and all 😊  Alice likes Beck for Beck.

When Alice goes to Colorado and is thrown into this new Beck, she is overwhelmed.  She is not the kind of girl that is expected to be with Beck.  She has issues with all his money and everything that goes with it.  Beck is THE GUY everyone wants.  Alice is not at all ready for all that drama.

I liked the story a lot.  The comedy was perfectly snarky, but the chemistry was great.  I loved the slow burn romance that was in the story.  We knew Alice and Beck had chemistry but seeing them slowly fall was amazing to read.

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.

#AuthorSpotlight #MOA #RoyalReaders – Lea Winkelman

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Lea Winkelman, single mom of two boys. Living in the Midwest. Works full time, and writes as a part time job. I enjoy writing poetry. To me it’s a short story in simple quick words. It’s not like what you would think of when you say poetry. I do write stories as well. I have a few out, with more coming.

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

Any sugary food, a nice glass of cold koolaid. Snacky food. Chips, popcorn, and Pandora in the background

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

Meeting new authors, meeting fans new and old. Getting to talk about my work.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Edgar Allan Poe , Shakespeare, Maya Angelo to start. Then there’s , JR Tolken, Hemmingway, Stephen King, and so many more.

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

I don’t have a set schedule as my work one varies, as well as my kids being home. I try to balance life and writing. So I’m not taking away from the boys

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

Seeing that first book in paperback. Actually holding it and smelling it. To see what I wrote on paper, to be in an actual book people read

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

Unfortunately no, I lost most my collection when I moved out. I’m still trying to grow it back.

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

Lately my recliner, though in the summer I do like sitting on my deck. Music, lots of music. I have a playlist I’m always adding to that has a variety of songs. Rock, country, opera… I like to mix it up.

Readers. Meeting them in person, whether they’ve read your books or have no clue who you are, there is always a good conversation.

Judy Blume. I’ve lucked out and met quite a few of my hero authors, she’s still illusive to me. That being said I really suck as a stalker so it could be my fault.

I wish. I write in bursts. With the day job I look for days off to binge and sprint all day.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

Jodie Bivens slapping a sheet of notebook paper in front of me and saying “these are what I have I need the rest.” I was a pretty new author and, much like I still am, I’m always shocked people spend their valuable time and money on my creations.

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

I have one signed by the Warden, J.R. Ward, another signed by Darynda Jones and finally an old copy I may or may not have stolen from my high school A Separate Peace. All wonderful books.

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.
