I received a copy from the author for an honest review.

Coby Effing Poter!! You have been through hell and are still in hell because you can’t reconnect with Brogan.  The woman of his dreams.  The woman who gives you life, breath, your everything!!  It has all been tainted by Tina.

Brogan is a mess.  She is there with Coby.  She is present with him but things are just off.  They just can’t get past everything.  The guilt is eating away at them.  She is losing faith little by little every day and worried that the will be saying their goodbyes.

When Dr. Santos suggested a weekend away I don’t think even HE would have seen what will happen for our couple and all the good it will do for their past, present and future!!

The couple grow so much in this book.  They face their fears and doubt together while taking on a new special project that is just what they both didn’t even know they needed.

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.

Jesus this book!  I am pretty sure I need to go to church and maybe read up on some passages.  Maybe go and take communion????  I mean Holy Hell!!

Lawd was it crazy!  Lawd was it hot! Lawd am I scared of these ladies’ imaginations!!  LAWD did we learn some important things.  But can we talk about the bad people for a second??  DUDE so creepy. Like you ladies are making me nervous to meet in real life!!

It seems we find out who the crazy captor is in the story.  We see the back story on Noah and Ivy’s “friendships”.  We also see the crazy, jealous person who is the one causing all the pain for our couple.

We being to see Ivy putting it all together.  She is also finally admitting she is in fact in love with Noah which takes him by surprise because well she was a little late to the game so it seems.  Everyone knew they wore in love except Ivy had trouble believing it since Noah wore his dead fiancée’s necklace for so long….until just recently that it!!

This book is a step in the “we are gonna get free and kill some people”.  Ivy and Noah are starting to study their surroundings to figure out how to save themselves and kill whoever is behind this!  Vengeance will be theirs!!

#Review #ReleaseDay #ReverseHarem – Blood and Bondage: Under the Skin Serial Part Three by K.B. Ladnier

Blood and Bondage: Under the Skin Serial Part Three

***This is part three of a four part reverse-harem serial. Recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. It is approximately 17,000+ words. Note: this does end on a cliffhanger***

Lucy Bryant has been taken.

After finally coming to terms with her love for two men at the same time, she has been ripped from their arms, literally.

She isn’t sure who this mysterious vampire is that’s taken her captive, or if he’s “the boss” that Hollis has been looking for. But behind the violent mood swings and strange obsession with a hammer he carries named Betty, there’s more than meets the eye.

Can Lucy save herself before he rips her heart from her chest, or will she be dumb enough to offer it to him herself?

Sweet Baby Jesus this book!!  But I am totally high 5ing myself because I totally knew who was involved in Lucy’s kidnapping…GO me!!  But then I was thrown for a loop with the backstory to the who and the why of Lucy’s kidnapping… heart strings time.

The guys are outta their minds trying to find their girl and Claudia is going bat shit crazy because she needs her bitchy bestie to be back and unharmed.

I can’t really discuss the specifics of this book or you will lose some major twists and turns but trust me, you are going to love it!!

Lucy has some great nervous one liners that make ya laugh because our girl is hella funny but also a scene in the shower that was uber steamy…see that pun??  I was trying to be funny like Luce..oh well.  Just but the serial but be sure to read it in order peps!!

K.B. Ladnier is from a small city in Southern Mississippi. She has one daughter and three cats who she claims are stealing her soul in only tiny doses so she won’t notice. She is a cyborg and spends most of her time hiding from her tiny human so she doesn’t have to share her snacks as she reads her favorite books. She hates the beach yet lives only ten minutes away from it and daydreams of mountains and snow. She is married to a hot nerd and loves him dearly even though he hordes cookies and occasionally hides her prosthetic leg from her when she’s mad, so he can get a quick escape. She plans to write as long as people continue loving what she does, otherwise she’s going to say screw it and do her second dream of owning a coffee shop. Though, she may still do both.

Racer Amazon.jpg

A bad boy with something to prove.

A woman with a mission.

The race of their lives.

The love of a lifetime.

He’s the fastest, fiercest driver around.

Scouting new talent brings me to his doorstep…

but his smile sends me to my knees.

The sexy, mysterious Racer Tate is not the kind of man a girl like me falls for. He’s secretive, reckless, elusive. But his proximity pushes me beyond reason, and his kiss….

#NewRelease – Friends are for Sharing by Lily Ryan @LilyRyanAuthor

I lost my job, got drunk and confessed my deepest, darkest secret.

One I’ve kept for years.

I want my husband. And his best friend.

Dirty, slutty thoughts of them taking me at the same time fill my
fantasies.

Nothing’s been the same since that night.

I worry my confession might cost me everything, including my husband.

I love my wife more than anything. There’s nothing I won’t do to make her
happy.

Until I hear Wesley Smith’s name slip out of her mouth.

She wants to have sex with him. And me.

Images of the three of us play in a hot, sweaty loop in my mind.

My brain isn’t the only part of me turned on by these scandalous images.

My body yearns for it.

She says it’s what she wants. Now I want it to.

I should say no.

Can I handle sharing my wife with my best friend?

#Review – If Ever by Angie Stanton

If Ever

Fiercely independent Chelsea Barnes has caught a rare break and been cast as the first non-celebrity on the hit show Celebrity Dance Off. Chelsea is coined ‘America’s Chance to Dance,’ but her partner planned on an A-lister, not a nobody.

Clashing with her partner, she’s ready to go home; but during an emotional dance, her heart-breaking past as an abandoned, homeless teen is revealed. Not only do the viewers fall in love with her, so does the flirty British guest singer, Broadway star Thomas Evan Oliver.

Tom is struck by this feisty girl who complicates his over-structured life, and pursues her in a romantic cross-country courtship until she’s voted off and joins him. Their sexy whirlwind love affair blossoms in New York as she navigates the big city and his exhausting eight shows a week, but most important, her scarred heart begins to heal. Perhaps happily ever after might be a possibility after all.

I received this book from the author.

What?  A reality tv show book?  A midwestern girl who has become someone falls in love with the hottie of all time?  Why yes please I will read that in one sitting!!

I am a total fan of Angie’s YA Series so I look forward to all her books when she releases.  This book was no different.  It might not be YA but it had a “sweet” feel to it all the same.

Chelsea and Tom have a great chemistry and you want everything for the two for the two of them.  We know Chelsea has some issues about things and you understand why she feels the way she does but we want her to have that happiness and be happy.

Tom is the stuff dreams are made of.  He knows Chelsea’s issues and is the never give up guy.  He is patient and kind and willing to do anything to get the girl.

The book was a great read.  There were sometimes I wanted to throat punch people but isn’t that what makes a book great??  LOL  When you get the feels you have done a good job writing!!

Enter at: http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/b050ef29429/?

Title: Kissed at Christmas

Authors: Christina McKnight, Ava Stone, and Michelle Willingham

Genre: Historical Romance, Holiday Romance

Release Date: September 19, 2017

The Earl and Countess of Banfield cordially request your attendance at the wedding for their daughters: Lady Tamsyn Hambly to Mr. Gryffyn Cardew, & Lady Morgan Hambly to Harold Mort, Viscount Blackwater, on the 24th day of December, 1811, at Castle Keyvnor, Bocka Morrow, Cornwall.

KISSED AT CHRISTMAS

includes:

Christina McKnight’s Bound By the Christmastide Moon

Silas Anson has spent his life dealing with other people’s mistakes. Now, as the Earl of Lichfield, he has a plan that will protect his siblings, and give him a chance at a normal life. His arranged marriage to Mallory Hughes should be perfect—except for one thing: she sees visions of the future. When a man determined to free himself from the shackles of the past marries a woman with precognition, happiness in the present may be just a kiss under the Christmastide moon away.

Ava Stone’s Once Upon a Midnight Clear

Only a duke will do for Lady Ivy Dallimore. If her unhappily married sisters have taught her anything, it’s that love is fleeting but a title lasts forever, which is all well and good in theory until she finds herself falling for the scandalous third son of a marquess who is bound and determined to make his fortune in trade! Lord Michael Beck courts scandal, living life to the fullest and dabbling in games of chance. Unfortunately, he’s neither heir nor spare to his father’s title, and the time has come to enter a profession. Michael is no soldier, and he certainly isn’t cut out for the cloth, so he embarks on the most scandalous and risky venture of his life. He will need capital, however, and collecting a number of outstanding gambling debts at a Christmas Eve wedding at Castle Keyvnor seems like the perfect place to start, at least until he stumbles across the lady of his dreams. But what are the odds the practiced gambler can win the girl without losing everything he’s worked for?

Michelle Willingham’s The Sweetest Christmas

Lady Marjorie despises the idea of marriage. After being engaged to a man who tried to command every aspect of her life, from what she wore to what she ate, she refuses to consider matrimony again. Though she isn’t at all opposed to playing matchmaker for her cousin… Sir William Crandall is startled when Lady Marjorie believes he is a shy, withdrawn knight in need of a wife. He has nothing at all in common with her bluestocking cousin, but he is fascinated by the spirited Lady Marjorie. Despite her attempts at matchmaking, he intends to avoid marriage at all costs, after being abandoned at the altar. But a stolen kiss, a feast of gingerbread, and two unexpected friends find that there is magic in the Christmas holiday and a match that neither of them expected…

Bound By the Christmastide Moon by Christina McKnight

I received a copy from the author for an honest review.

I always love the books I get from Christina.  I love the world she builds so effortlessly. In this book, I loved the new twist she gives to our Lady Mallory.  It’s something new she added to one of her books.  She keeps true to her historical roots but adds a bit of fun to it along with mystery.

Silas has had quite a life.  His mother runs away with him and his siblings.  When he returns his father is dead and the family estate in ruins.  He should follow the plan of an estate squire to keep his family name out of the gossip of the Ton.  Silas is not thrilled but he will do what he must to keep his family safe.

Lady Mallory is traveling to meet her betrothed with her aunt in tow.  She was promised that if she doesn’t find the Lord to her liking she is free to walk away and be a spinster like her aunt forever.    However, sparks do seem to fly pin their initial meeting!!!

When Lady Mallory and Silas meet we see some chemistry but both are not sure of the other.  Silas worries what Mallory will say when she learned of his family.  Mallory decided to follow and then check in on Silas when she discovers he is not the most truthful of people.  Mallory’s extra gift plays a part in the story making us wonder what is going to happen.

I loved the story and look forward to more in the series.   The book was a great afternoon read on a super-hot day.  It gave me reason to just sit on my butt and enjoy the air conditioning!!  LOL

Hi! I’m twenty five years old and movie star gorgeous. The camera added thirty plus years and a few wrinkles. Can’t trust those cameras or mirrors either. Along with bathroom scales they are notorious liars! Honestly, I am the mother of three fantastic grown children who’ve made me laugh and given me more story ideas than I could ever write. My husband, Charles, is my strongest supporter and my best friend. He’s even willing to eat fast food and help with the laundry while I finish one more chapter! Life is good and I am blessed!

Reading has been a passion since I was five years old and figured out those were words on book pages. As soon as my chubby little fingers found they could put words on a Big Chief tablet with a fat pencil, I was on my way. Writing joined reading in my list of passions. I will read anything from the back of the Cheerio’s box to Faulkner and love every bit of it. In addition to reading I enjoy cooking, my family and the ocean. I love the Florida beaches. Listening to the ocean waves puts my writing brain into high gear.

I love writing romance because it’s about emotions and relationships. Human nature hasn’t changed a bit since Eve coveted the fruit in the Garden of Eden. Settings change. Plots change. Names change. Times change. But love is love and men and women have been falling in and out of it forever. Romance is about emotions: love, hate, anger, laughter… all of it. If I can make you laugh until your sides ache or grab a tissue then I’ve touched your emotions and accomplished what every writer sets out to do.

I got serious about writing when my third child was born and had her days and nights mixed up. I had to stay up all night anyway and it was very quiet so I invested in a spiral back notebook and sharpened a few pencils. The story that emerged has never sold but it’s brought in enough rejection slips to put the Redwood Forest on the endangered list. In 1997 Kensington bought two books for their Precious Gems line. Two years and six books later the line died with only four of those books seeing publication. But by then Avalon had bought a book and another, and another. Ten years later the list has grown to thirty nine. Last year Sourcebooks bought the Lucky Series which is in the bookstores now. They’ve also bought The Honky Tonk Series which will debut with I LOVE THIS BAR in June and will be followed by HELL, YEAH, MY GIVE A DAMN’S BUSTED, and HONKY TONK CHRISTMAS.

Folks ask me where I get my ideas. Three kids, fifteen grandchildren, two great grandchildren. Note: I was a very young grandmother! Life is a zoo around here when they all come home. In one Sunday afternoon there’s enough ideas to keep me writing for years and years. Seriously, ideas pop up at the craziest times. When one sinks its roots into my mind, I have no choice but to write the story. And while I’m writing the characters peek over my shoulder and make sure I’m telling it right and not exaggerating too much. Pesky little devils, they are!

I have a wonderful agent, Erin Niumata, who continues to work magic and sell my work. I’m very lucky to have her and my editors who continue to believe in me.
