#NewRelease #Review #Trilogy – Manipulation – Book 1 in Twisted Trilogy by Torrie Robles

Manipulation - Book 1 in Twisted Trilogy

Infatuation.
Addiction.
Fixation.
Obsession.
These are all words people have thrown at me my entire life. Things I need to watch for when my compulsion gets too great. But what they don’t ever mention is my ability to manipulate. Why would they? They’ve never known because I’m that good. Through the years, I’ve learned I need to do what I must to get the things I desire. My money, my business, my women.
Life is ruthless. Manipulation is key.
My latest desire is, Rochelle Cohen. She’s full of life, and beauty. A work of art, really. But she’s missing one key element.
Me.
At the end of the day, it will be me that she sees and no one else. By my hand, her trust in those closest to her will fade. She won’t feel safe anywhere, except in my bed. I will single handedly change her entire life until she has only one option left …
Me.
This is my story.
This is my focus.
This is my manipulation.

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

Shut the Front Door!  Then lock that bitch up tight!!  I mean WHOOOOOO What is happening to me???

This book is all kindsa leaving me with the chills and feeling so confused!!  The cliffhanger at the end was expected given it’s a trilogy but DAYUM!!

Rochelle is living life to the fullest.  She has it all going on for her and she is happy right.  I mean her daughter is perfect.  Her stud of a boytoy is amazeballs.  What could she have to worry about???  But then all of a sudden, her life is turned upside down by her stalker.  I mean the blurb is what made me want this book and now that I have it, I can’t talk about it because DAMN IT this entire review would be full of spoilers.

Just know this and understand this…when you read it be ready to be creeped out…..be stunned….be freaked….have insurance on your kindle because the gasping and dropping of it at the end of the book….yup…you will need it!

When she isn’t working a full-time job, writing, raising her children, or just taking care of life Torrie’s biggest hobby is getting lost in books. Her passion for reading and the authors she looks up to has allowed her to make her dreams come true. Her fellow authors have truly been her inspiration.

#CoverReveal – The Ex Effect by Karla Sorensen

Title: The Ex Effect
Author: Karla Sorensen
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: December 5, 2018
Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs

 

 

The headline could write itself:
Matthew Hawkins, star defensive end, comes out of retirement to play for the Washington Wolves. 
 
Which is perfectly fine by Ava Baker—it makes her job as publicist for the team easier. 
 
There’s only two problems. This particular football player was her first crush. 
 
The bigger problem: Matthew Hawkins was once engaged to her older sister. 
 
It’s been ten years since Ava has seen Matthew. He’s bigger, better looking, and best of all—completely single. Despite his history with her sister, the attraction between Ava and Matthew isn’t so one-sided anymore. 
 
It’s hot enough to burn down the entire city of Seattle. 
 
But this headline is far more complicated to write. And not just for the press or what it means for her family— because once her heart is involved, there’s no predicting the ending.
Well, let’s see … I’m a wife and a mother. If the things that I write bring a smile to someone’s face, then I’ve done my job. I am obsessed with Outlander (both the books and the show). I’m almost exclusively a romance reader, which means some people will never consider me a literary snob. If I could meet one historical figure, it would be Jane Austen. I received my Bachelors in Public Relations and worked in health care marketing before I had my babies. I hate Twitter. I do it, but I hate it. Also, if you want to get on my good side, bring me wine and I’ll love you forever.

#WOTR19 #CompleteSeries #Paranormal #Shifters – The Hallow Brothers by Tricia Andersen

Welterweight (Hallow Brothers Book 1) Book 1  Middleweight (Hallow Brothers Book 2) Book 2

Heavyweight (Hallow Brothers Book 3) Book 3  Corner (Hallow Brothers Book 4) Book 4

Book 1-

Caleb Hallow doesn’t need anyone. All he needs is to dominate in the MMA cage and become world champion. His plans are derailed when he wakes up with a mysterious tattoo of his ancestors after a one-night stand with his opponent’s ex-girlfriend, Meg Riley. Sharing the mark with her joins them as mates for eternity. Can Caleb deal with Meg for the rest of his life? Can he keep her safe from his past as he falls deeply in love with her? And will she stay by him when she finds out he is actually a werewolf?
It was just a fling, a chance to get revenge on her cheating ex. At least that’s what Meg Riley tries to convince herself. But the indescribable pull that draws her to the dark, dangerous Caleb Hallow tells her differently. Although she is furious when she finds the strange tattoo on her back after their night together, and even though he tells her some convoluted story about him being a werewolf, she can’t stay away from him. She can’t stop herself from falling for him. When her ex threatens Caleb’s life, how far will Meg go to save him? Will she be willing to sacrifice her life for his?

Book 2-

Micah Hallow doesn’t believe he’ll ever find his mate. That is until a mystic tattoo appears on his back after a wild night with a stripper that marks her as his mate. Despite a life-threatening injury that brings him to his knees every time it strikes, he commits to a fight in the octagon to save her life. What will she do when she finds out he’s one of the infamous Hallow Brothers—and a werewolf?

Eve Romero can’t escape her violent boss, Deacon. That is, until the hottie she slept with puts his life on the line in exchange for hers. She can’t fight the primal attraction to him even though she doesn’t feel she’s worthy of the Hallow brother. Can she overcome her past to be with him? And when a new, murderous threat strikes close to home, will the two of them survive?

Book 3-

Samuel Hallow is desperately in love. However, he knows his family won’t condone his relationship with his boyfriend, Henry. The brothers mate for life and neither man has had the mystical tattoo appear that binds them to the one chosen for them.

Delilah, Henry’s lifelong friend, comes to town and Samuel is consumed with unexplained lust. He and Henry both sleep with her and the tattoo appears on all three of them, marking the trio as mates for eternity. He nearly loses the others when he confesses his true nature – that he, like his six brothers, are werewolves. Although Delilah and Henry are angry and obsessed with their careers, they can’t stay out of his bed.

Can he protect his lovers from the vampires who hunt them, who want to use them to get possession of Momma Hallow’s ancient amulet? And will the Hallow Brothers stand united when they discover that Henry, the man Samuel loves, embodies an ancient evil magic, hell bent on conquering the world?

Book 4 –

Josiah Hallow carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. Literally. Between keeping his family safe as the head of the Hallows, training his six younger brothers for their individual turns in the MMA cage, and guarding his mother’s amulet from the creatures who want to use it to take control of the world, his sanity is about to break.

Mating with the pure Sarah Merit, an overly-religious school teacher whose body makes every fiber of Josiah’s being stand at attention, could finally push him over the edge. Unfortunately, despite the all-consuming sex that blazes between the pair, it isn’t enough to convince Sarah to live with him so he can protect her, as well.

When Josiah learns the secret Sarah is keeping from him, he makes a deal with the pair of vampires who run the MMA promotion the family fights for in an attempt to save her. But will he be able to save her again when Sarah is kidnapped and taken to Josiah’s grandfather, Atticus, the vicious alpha of a pack of werewolves in Maine? And what will Sarah do when she finds out the sexy corner of the Hallow Brothers is a werewolf, too?

#WOTR19 #NewRelease – Home for the Holidays by H.D’Agostino

Home for the Holidays

Kaitlyn Hughes was living her dream. After attending culinary school in Paris, she now lives there and works under one of the best chefs in the business. Life is perfect. When her parents ask her to come home for the holidays, she decides to take a much-deserved vacation.

Five years away does something to you. It messes with your memory and makes you believe that you don’t miss the things that you do. You don’t realize it until its too late.

When Kaitlyn unexpectedly runs into Eli Baker, the one she left behind, all bets are off. Does absence really make the heart grow fonder? How much are you willing to give up for true love?

***This can be read as a standalone.***

Goodreads

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

I totally fell in love with Eli in Jackson’s book.  When Heather said Eli was getting a novella, I was so excited.  I mean we all love a bad boy, but a broken bad boy makes all the women’s hearts swoon.  Eli always acted like he wasn’t a fan of the whole “love” thing but the way he helped Jackson through the loss of his wife and everything after spoke differently.

It turns out Eli was, in fact, a one-woman kinda guy who loves Kait with everything he has.  He has dreams, hopes and aspirations that will include her by his side….or so he THOUGHT.

Kait loves Eli but the chance to go to Paris to learn to cook turns out to be bigger then her love for the boy she gave her heart too.  When she leaves and never returns, she destroyed our Eli.

I enjoyed the short look into the “what happened” between these two.  The dynamic and the chemistry were a great read for me and I definitely look forward to the longer novel in the future because this novella is just the beginning for out couple.  It’s a bit of a teaser after reading the cooking scene!!!  Read it and you will understand what I mean.

Heather D’Agostino is an avid reader turned Bestselling Author of the Contemporary Romance Series The Broken Series, The Shattered Series, The Second Chances Series, The Cook Brothers Series, and Romantic Suspense series The Witness Series.

She attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte where she received a Bachelor’s of Arts in Elementary Education with a minor in Mathematics.

She currently lives in Central New York with her husband, two children, two dogs, and three cats. When she’s not writing she can usually be found at the dance studio, soccer field, or one of the many other places that she plays ‘Supermom’.

#WOTR19 #CompleteSeries #Trilogy – O’Gallagher Nights: The Complete Series by Mignon Mykel

O'Gallagher Nights: The Complete Series

The three O’Gallagher siblings, all in one set.
Includes bonus material!

O’Gallaghers has been a long-lasting establishment in San Diego, known for its Irish brews and fare. When the next generation of O’Gallaghers take over though, it becomes known for a little bit more…

1.) ONE NIGHT STAND

Conor O’Gallagher runs his family pub. He’s proud, he’s business minded, and he’s every bit a bachelor. O’Gallaghers’ female patrons know he’s up for a good time, one night only. Forever is not on his radar.

But what happens when one night gives him a little more than he bargained for?

Conor’s about to find out…

2.) ABOUT LAST NIGHT

Like his brother, Rory O’Gallagher likes his women, and all but one have come to him easily and willingly.

Never has he had to work so hard for one as he’s had to Emily Winters. As cold and dismissive as she is, Rory can’t help but want to heat her up.

Will she thaw toward him long enough for him to get his taste? Can he prove to her he’s not what she thinks?

He’s certainly going to try.

3.) ALL NIGHT LONG

The youngest of the three, Brenna O’Gallagher lived through rumors and lies–or so her brothers think. In truth, there’s more to Brenna than many people know.

When she vowed off men, she never thought she’d be tempted by a man her brothers hired for O’Gallaghers.

She knows nothing but secrets, and Greyson Stone is starting to threaten them.

Can she allow him in? And can she share him with the world?

Brenna’s not so sure.

#review #paranormal #shifters – Lone Wolf Wanted by Jessie Lane

Lone Wolf Wanted

Chrissy “Kinks” Leroy has a certain itch she needs scratched. The problem is, there are no unmated shifter males she wants to get freaky with in Black Mountain, Kentucky. How’s a girl supposed to have fun under these conditions?

Ezrah Goldsby is a lone wolf, outcast from his pack and traveling the open road, enjoying everything the world has to offer. Then he stops at a shifter bar and comes face-to-face with the most gorgeous trouble he has ever seen. After they share a night to remember, Ezrah walks out, not knowing that fate and his witchy great-grandmother are determined to throw them back together.
This is a standalone paranormal romance previously published through Amazon Kindle Worlds.

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

Oh Jessie!!  What a yummy quick read for an evening!!

Ezrah is a great addition to your alpha males while Kinks is a kick ass heroine to add as well.

Ezrah is not looking for a woman or love.  He just wants a quick night of some “wham Bam and Thank you Ma’am” which Kinks is totally down with when they meet at a shifter bar.  After a long session of hitting the sheets he runs.  Seems Ezrah isn’t scared of much except for the beating heart in his chest.  His wolf is not to happy to be leaving the feisty cat behind, but he does it anyway.

Kinks is all kinds of mad she fell for a wolf.  She can’t believe she let herself think she MIGHT have found a mate that would want to stay.  When he leaves her high and dry she is pretty sad and can’t understand why she isn’t ever good enough.

The story is quick and super funny when the two find their way back to each other.  I loved the epilogue and the special name we get at the end.

essie Lane is a best-selling author of Paranormal and Contemporary Romance, as well as, Upper YA Paranormal Romance/Fantasy. She lives in Kentucky with her two little Rock Chicks in-the-making and her over protective alpha husband that she’s pretty sure is a latent grizzly bear shifter. She has a passionate love for reading and writing naughty romance, cliff hanging suspense, and out-of-this-world characters that demand your attention, or threaten to slap you around until you do pay attention to them.

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

I was so excited to jump in and read this book because I LOVE LOVE LOVE Miranda Lynn’s Black Mountain series and Tricia Andersen’s Hallow Brothers.  When I saw these two were in the same anthology = Day Made.  I sat down super excited to read about m favorite characters and families.

In Tricia’s story, we see Micah and Eve celebrating their first Christmas together.  We get to see her pregnancy progression plus new readers will learn about the enemies of the family.

In Miranda’s story, we see Mack and Casey hanging out with Mack’s family celebrating the holidays together as well.  I loved the scene with the kids because that was probably what happened at my house whenever the Christmas Classics happened.

I think this anthology will give new readers a quick glimpse into the authors worlds and hopefully entice you to grab the books.  Trust me when I say you need to read these two series!!  They are auto buys for me no matter what!!
