Leave a comment

 

Release Date: January 30, 2019

Cover Design: Lori Jackson Design

She’s just a tool, and I’ll ruin her, because I need to.

From the moment I first saw her, Ivy Prescot has been a bad idea. Strong willed, beautiful, intelligent–she is my perfect storm. The attraction is palpable, undeniable.

The problem is she’s the assistant to the CEO of a hundred-million dollar company.

She’s my assistant.

The other problem? She was previously the assistant to my rival and the man I have sworn to destroy at all costs.

I need her to achieve my goal, but I will rip apart anyone that stands in my way.

In the game of crushing kings of men, I never planned on my heart being a sacrifice.

Everything is in motion, unable to be stopped. I can only hope that when the dust settles she will forgive me.

I purchased this book.

GAH!!  I finished book 2 and legit started to read book 3.   I was so excited for Seth story.  He is super broody and grumpy but after hearing about his creation….poor dude.  To carry around the memories of all the people you drink from AND you are 1,000 years old.  UHM Hard Pass!!!  T say I understand his needs to “get out of is own head” is an understatement.  To say I GOT why he did the things he did to numb his brain, it totally understandable.  To say I felt bad for his fear of accepting a mate and growing to care and love her not knowing if he would become horrible monster…..again I get.  The dudes been through A LOT!!!

Katie is a human caught in an immortal world…or is she.  The story of Katie and her “family” was interesting.  I loved seeing her struggle with all the “NEW” parts of her but also with this whole “Mating” business.  To be a successful, independent women who now has this grumpy man pushing you away but also needing him in your life is a hard pill to swallow.  There were times the story kinda drug on because the fighting and the pushing away between the two characters started to make me metal but once they FINALLY give in and accepted it 110% all is right with the world.

I enjoyed this story and the build up for the next few books…Baal is going to be a hoot, Aiyden made me GASP a bit when we finally get confirmation on his mate, and do I dare think Gwen has a love interest???

I am curious about the actual story behind the Phoenix rising because he seems like WHEN he wakes up, things are going to be changing and for the better??!!!

Award winning and bestselling author Valerie Twombly grew up watching Dark Shadows over her mother’s shoulder, and from there her love of the fanged creatures blossomed. Today, Valerie has decided to take her darker, sensual side and put it to paper.

#NewRelease – Not a Hero (Sons of the Survivalist #1) by Cherise Sinclair

Leave a comment

Not a Hero (Sons of the Survivalist, #1)

In the Alaska wilderness, four streetwise boys became men—and brothers

Now the crazy ex-military survivalist who plucked Gabriel and three other boys from an abusive foster care home has died. But the sarge leaves them a final mission–to revive the dying town of Rescue.

Gabe is done with being a hero.

Wounded in body and soul, the retired SEAL simply wants to remain holed up in his isolated cabin. He sure doesn’t want to be chief of police in some defunct town. But he has his orders.

Audrey needs a place to hide

After the Chicago librarian discovers a horrendous crime, she wakes to an assassin in her bedroom. Injured and terrified, she flees, covering her trail every inch of the way. New name, new ID. New home. As Audrey learns to survive in Rescue, she begins to fall for the town…and the intimidating chief of police who protects it.

Can the shy introvert and the deadly police chief find a life together?

Despite the discord in town, Gabe is finding his own peace…with the quiet young woman who seems to have no past. She’s adorable and caring and so very lost. But how can he trust someone who lies to him with every breath she takes?

Cherise Sinclair is my go to author when I want a satisfying read. Heat, emotion, suspense. She’s got it all.  ~ NYT Bestselling author Lexi Blake

Goodreads

I received this book from an honest review.

**Clapping** Oh man!!  I was so excited for this new series and it did not disappoint.

Meeting the guys in the Shadowlands book with Z was a great introduction of the boys for us.  I gotta say Gabe and Hawk are the ones who I was wondering baout but Bull and Caz are just hilariously funny.  I can’t wait for the rest of the series.

This book was a perfect blend of characters.  Gabe is Mr. Anti-Social and Audrey/Julie is a “nerd” who has been lead to believe she isn’t anything special or worthwhile.  Seeing the two open up and form an amazing bond even under the guise of it being “Just One Night” was so angsty.

Gabe is so cool, calm and collected and once he knows Audrey/Julie’s backstory he is all in to keep her.  Audrey is so scared to open-up because she doesn’t want another death on her hands while hiding out from the bad guys.  When she finally opens-up to Gabe and her friends we know it’s not the end…… The story of Audrey/Julie on the run was great to read.  Seeing her desire to be in Chicago but falling for the small town charm and the heartbreak she was in about her future.

The story of the crazy religious cult is obviously going to be an issue in the next book or two.  I can’t wait to see what brother is going to be next…..Caz or Hawk.  I mean I wanna see the payer settle down but Hawk needs to be loved.  He has some serious ice walls that need to be broken down!!!

Whenever I ask for BDSM recommendations, I am told the same two words all the time: Cherise Sinclair. ~ Under the Covers Reviews

Authors often say their characters argue with them. Unfortunately, since Cherise Sinclair’s heroes are Doms, she never, ever wins.

A New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, she’s renowned for writing heart-wrenching romances with laugh-out-loud dialogue, devastating Dominants, and absolutely sizzling sex. And did I mention the BDSM? Her awards include a National Leather Award, Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice nomination, and Best Author of the Year from the Goodreads BDSM group.

Fledglings having flown the nest, Cherise, her beloved husband, and one fussy feline live in the Pacific Northwest where nothing is cozier than a rainy day spent writing.

#WOTR19 #ReleaseDay – Unlucky in Love by AJ Renee

1 Comment

Title: Unlucky in Love
Author: AJ Renee
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: January 30, 2019
Blurb
Lucky in Love.
That’s the name of the dating app I picked, hoping to find Mr. Better Than Average so I can hold off planning my future as a cat lady.
I’ve been distracted eyeballing a tall, dark, and handsome Latin hottie who works in the library with me. He is way out of my league, and a woman has needs if you know what I mean.
Finding a man shouldn’t be hard when all I have to do is swipe left or right. It’ll weed out the slimy men who have Bad Date written all over them.
Yeah, I’m learning quickly that I’m rather unlucky in love after all. The men I pick need warning labels, kissing lessons, and a good talking-to about manners.
Should I throw in the towel or will this series of bad dates be exactly what I need to win Mr. Right?

Excerpt
Pouring milk into my mug, I watch the black and white colors swirl together until they turn a pretty caramel. I didn’t sleep well, and the creamy mix is exactly what the doctor ordered. Hurrying, I flick the sugar packet and dump its contents.
The door behind me opens as I toss the spoon into the sink and lift the mug to
my lips. The satisfying liquid warms my insides, and I can’t help my sigh even
if I tried.
“Rough night?” a velvety voice asks.
I take another sip of my glorious cup of joe before turning toward Mario. He started working in the Reference Department three months ago and has featured in a few of my dirty dreams. He’s gorgeous and about six feet three inches. Dark, tall, and handsome would describe him to a T.
I shrug and force my mind from the gutter. He brushes past me and grabs the spoon I just discarded. The first time I saw him do this, I yelped in protest, but it seemed he really was another gross college guy.
One with full kissable lips.
“You’re quiet this morning,” he says and leans against the counter next to me.
After the episode with Tristan last night, I can’t help but stare a second longer. “No, just a date.” The words spill from my mouth. “I mean, I was up late.”
Mario’s mug freezes halfway to his lips, and an eyebrow raises as he stares at me.
“Fuck!” I slap a hand over my mouth in horror. My heart races, and I know my cheeks are bright pink. “I gotta go.” I squealed and run out of the break room.
Great job, Izzy! Now he thinks you were up all night fucking.
Calling myself a string of insults, I take the elevator down to the copy office. See, we both work in our college library in different departments. I keep the copy machines and printers stocked with paper and toner, and Mario does whatever the students in Reference do.
We both tend to be in the break room grabbing coffee in the mornings at the same time.
If I’m lucky, I get a glimpse of him when I do my rounds. Our conversations
aren’t long, usually revolving around our mutual love of coffee. His doesn’t
include milk, but his love of coffee runs as deep as mine.
I walk
around the corner and sigh with relief when I find the door closed. My boss,
Jerry, isn’t in yet, and I know he’ll tease me if he spots the blush still on
my cheeks. Jerry is old enough to be my dad and is the best boss I’ve had, not that there have been many.
Kicking the doorstop under the wooden door, I prop it open. I set my mug on the long counter and take a quick peek at the staplers and empty the pencil sharpener set out for students to pop in and use. My body goes into autopilot, and Mario’s lips come to mind. I wonder if they are they as soft as they look?
I reluctantly remind myself he’s out of my league. It’s not that I don’t think
I’m pretty. I am, but I’m not the girl all the boys come sniffing around.
They’ll look in my direction, but few take the next step. Of those who do, none are as handsome as Mario.

Cute, funny and fast read! Most everyone has had to deal with dating…..nowadays everything is social media and dating apps. Izzy decides she is going to give the online dating thing a try. Swipe left or swipe right? That’s the question. Thank the gods above that this girl has an amazing friend in Val that helps to keep her head on straight and make sure she is ok with all these crazy as hell dates. Izzy has gone on some dates that you just can’t make up. Just when you think the person is ok or that you should give them a shot their true colors show and then you realize just how far in the crazy house you have gone, LOL! In the midst of everything Izzy has this incredible tall and dark drink of water that she works with but he always finds her in the most embarrassing of situations. She knows he is hot as hell but that he is too good for her. Once she has so many unlucky dates she decides to cool it and then she and Mario decide to date. The entire book is cute and funny with the crazy shenanigans that Izzy and the other characters go through. It is a fast and fun read that will definitely lift your spirits. Loving Unlucky In Love!

#WOTR19 #Review #Paranormal – Dragon’s Fate (Guardians #2) by Valerie Twombly

Leave a comment


Dragon's Fate (Guardians Book 2)

One touch will prove fatal.

Caleb is dark, hot, and commanding in human form. As a dragon, he’s a force to be reckoned with. When he witnesses the slave Lileta being beaten by his Overlord Odage, he nearly comes unglued. Without understanding why, he asks to take Lileta as his own, but soon realizes his longing is more than an attraction to a beautiful woman. In a sick twist of fate, the gods have given him a demon as his mate—one he can never touch unless he wishes his own death.
His only choice is to grant her freedom.

Abducted as a teen, and later purchased by a dragon Overlord, Lileta’s venomous touch remains her only safeguard as a slave. When the demon’s rebellious nature brings about a brutal punishment, Caleb steps in and takes her as his own. As if having the sexy dragon save the day isn’t bad enough, she soon realizes they are destined to be together.
Mating is out of the question.

The abduction of a goddess intertwines their paths once again, spiraling them to the brink of passion. Unable to resist their fatal desire, the two must trust fate and hope they don’t destroy each other.

This book formerly published as Fatal Desire. Revised 2nd edition.

Goodreads

I purchased this book.

From the second I started this book I KNEW I was not going to be able to put it down.  OMG the angst and stress of these two.   I mean to be destined to someone who you can’t really have…..ANGST soooo hardcore!!

I loved and pitied Lileta in the last book.  I wanted her to be reunited with her brother, Baal, after her freeing Marcus.  She risked so much for the Guardian’s with no real hope of surviving.  When I saw she was going to be mated with Caleb in this book I was excited because Caleb seemed like such a great character who was just following his friend …unfortunately his friend was not such a great guy to follow.

Caleb and Lileta are both drawn to each other but know there is no way the can consummate their relationship because of the kind of demon she is.  But we all wonder WHY the Gods would be so cruel.   As the story starts to unfold and we see the God’s explaining WHY this mating must happen …it was such a great read.  The banter between the two characters was hilarious especially when they are pushing each other away. However, Caleb asking the Guardian’s for womanly advise was the best especially when Cassie stepped in to help.  The history and backstory between the 2 characters and their families was amazing.  At one point when one of their family lineages is told I was floored!!!

This book has soooo many twists and turns plus the set up for book 3 is started and I CAN NOT WAIT to dive in.

#WOTR19 #Review #NewRelease #MC – Catch, Hell’s Harem #3 by JM Walker

Leave a comment

Catch by J.M. Walker

Loss. Passion. Rage. Love.

It started the moment she left me.

Submission. Wrath. Savage. Resentment.

She rejected me when I needed her most.

My walls were up. My life was lonely. My world was dark.
I opened up to her and gave her every piece of me only to have her rejection slap me in the face. I needed her. I wanted her. But hated her just the same. After years of giving myself to others, she falls back into my life when I least expected it. With so many years between us, we fell back into an easy routine. She was no longer the girl I had fallen in love with, but a woman who was running from her demons only to land in the arms of a monster…

Goodreads

Amazon

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

Holy Hells Bells.  Right out from the gate I am going to say if you expect a twist from JM, then you will not be disappointed!!  The storyline for Catch and Cherry is memorable.

Catch *Sigh* We have seen him love so hard and so fast with a few people so I have been hurting for him to find his HEA.  He is just such a romantic character while spanking your ass at the same time that I loved him and all the sides of his persona.   Noe don’t go getting all Crazy…Tray is still my Baby Daddy but I loved Catch!!  Loved like a brother…Gesh Tray gets all kinds of testy!!

Cherry *deep breath* DUDE she is a mess and after hearing her story you GET IT!!  Anyone who survives what she has gone through is a survivor with serious battle wounds!!  She is complex, broken, and utterly in love with Catch which is frightening to her mind, body, and soul.

The 2nd chance love story is so sweet given how much of a romantic Catch is.  This bad boy biker will do anything for the only woman he has loved.  Cherry is completely at a loss for words finding the only man she has loved with her heart too.  The battle at the beginning of the story because they both have had so much happen to them in the 10-year absence was hard.  They both have their defenses up but they both see the other person who they initially loved still in THERE.

When the story unfolds and we find out everything….yup I was right with Catch on what he wanted to do but the compassion Cherry gives is commendable.  She is a much better person then I am!!  The epilogue was a perfect ending to their love story but the bonus epilogue has my heart saying HEEEEY!!!! *wink wink* look who is all grown up and shit!!

PS Lucas and Lily steal the show in their chapter and it makes my heart soooo excited for their book!!

J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who 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

#Review #Paranormal = Blood Vowed by Traci Douglass

Leave a comment

Blood Vowed (Blood Ravagers, #3)

Reverend “Rev” Walker, expected some backlash after he foiled The Council’s attempts to overthrow the Blood Ravager Biker Gang. What he hadn’t expected was to wake up in the last place he ever wanted to see again—a dank cell of The Council’s Siberian dungeon. Drained and chained, he faces certain death if he can’t escape from the hellish prison. Now, his only means of escape depends on him accepting help from a fellow prisoner, a woman whose very existence is a lie and the only one capable of awakening Rev’s long-dormant heart.

Claire Deveraux is Dygarian, a race of shadow-shifters who have been slandered and hunted to extinction by The Council. But Claire has used her years of enslavement well, reading her captors’ secret texts and hearing their whispered secrets. Now, after being locked up for a crime she didn’t commit, she plans to use her knowledge of the dungeon’s maze-like interior to gain her freedom, or die trying. Then a new prisoner arrives, a man Claire has dreamed of and knows in her heart is her destined mate, if only she can break through his walls.

On the run and threatened from all sides, will Rev and Claire learn to trust each other and their growing feelings for one another before it’s too late?

Goodreads

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

I was so excited to read this book!!  I fell in absolute love with Rev and couldn’t wait to see what happened to him after the way the last book ended.  He is captured in a cell by the Council along with Claire.  She is some kinda special.  She is the last of her kind of shape shifters.

Claire is planning on escaping to get revenge on people that harmed her family.  Rev is all on board with the escape and revenge as well.  Rev does all he can to deny his attraction to Claire buuuut fails miserably.  His brooding male was funny to read along with Claire’s first experiences with Real Life.

The story and plot flow really well.  The chemistry between the two was written really well.  The story of Claire and her people were sad.  I loved Rev from the first time we met him in book 1 s I knew his book would be one I devoured.

Fresh, Flirty, Fun. Sweet, Sexy Romance.

My stories feature sizzling heroes with humor, quick wits and troubled pasts and heroines who are smart, tenacious, and always give as good as they get. I hold an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University and I love cute animals, chocolate, coffee, hot British actors, and sarcasm—not necessarily in that order.

My books are published with Harlequin/Mills & Boon, Entangled Publishing, and Tule Publishing.

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Ellis Leigh/Kristin Harte

Where is your favorite place to write and what food must be present?

I write on my couch (feet up, blanket on) and am addicted to Smart Food white cheddar popcorn. It’s a problem.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

Meeting readers and talking about books! I’m a reader first and an author second, so I love being around other people who adore books and want to gush about their favorites. I end up with so many new books to read!

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

Kelley Armstrong. Her Women Of The Otherworld series is why I write.

What author would you love to write with?

Kati WIlde. Her voice and style sucks me in. I’d love to pick her brain to elevate my own books.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

I was at a reader event in Texas, standing in line at a Starbucks in the hotel. We’re talking pajamas on, hoodie hiding my bedhead, non-brushed teeth moment. We’ve all been there, right? Anyway, I’m waiting patiently for my turn to order heaven in a cup when a reader screamed my name from across the lobby. Seriously–SCREAMED IT. I almost died, and then I cracked up because she must really pay attention to my social media to recognize me from so far away and without my “face” on. Next time I meet her, I hope to be more presentable. I’ll buy her a coffee.
