I received this book from the author for an honest review.  I really toiled with my rating in this book.  I mean is it a 4.5 or 5.  I was just back and forth. Then I went back and reread a scene…Christina will know…the Door scene…..yep it still gutted me so 5 stars it is.

AHHH!!   OMG If you would have told me before reading this book I would be dumping Harold, from The Lady Forsaken Series, I would have said you are cray cray…GASP…however Harold I think we may need to take a little break so I can see how I am feeling about Lord Cartwright/Cart.  No hard feelings right???

Lord Cartwright/Simon/Cart is so unlike any hero that Christina has written before.  He is so nerdy and awkward but I fell in love with him.    He is the person at a gathering with their nose stuck in a book.  He is unsure of himself socially and really could care less about breaking a Ton rule.  He is just after getting his family Earldom back in the right financial shape it should be after being stolen from by his uncle.

Judith/Jude wants to help her sister Marce but knows Marce will not have any of that.  Her and her twin steal a vase to hopefully sell for money.  This money she will give to her sister to call off the debtors who keep sending final collection notices.

When Jude and Cart meet, they are both thrown together and thought that they might just “tolerate” the others company but they actually get along.  Then something happens to Cart and he gets upset at himself for making a fool out of himself. When any other Ton woman would have run away, Jude stays to help him.

The two are so similar and they both love art.  Granted he loves to find it and she loves to steal it…Snickers…..but I just loved how put out she makes him.  She makes him feel alive and actually interested in life again.  I love how he uses scientific data to tell us the readers how he feels about Jude.  I love how she is so confused because she is guilted by why she is friending him yet also she is so consumed with spending as much time with him as she can

The side characters are amazing.  Sam I wanna throat punch.  Payton just needs a hug.  Garret *purr* needs to find the right woman.  THEO!!  OMG she steals the book!!  LOVE HER!!  But I am telling you …Christina is going to make us wait until the very last to know about Marce!  I FREAKING need to know about her!!  I am consumed with the need to know!!!  AHHHHH,………….

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

OHHHH Brax…can I call ya Brax or am I still at the Braxton level??  Well I think I am at Brax level so I am going to continue.  I met you and fell in love with you in Crosby and Ella’s novel.  I knew you had a heart with how hard you tried to get them back together but then to see it…sigh….scratch that…gonna go with a hard SWOON here.  Yeah I am pretty sure I fell even more in love with you…don’t worry Michelle tell Gabe he is still my #1!!! (Different story but you should prolly just check out all of her books to find him)

Ainsley, man you have a lot of responsibilities for someone your age not to mention the drive you have for your future career.  Unfortunately, when your “good time guy” treats you like crap you then blame all future good guys for the same crap.  Good thing Brax will push you at every turn.  Granted he also needed to have his head smacked a few times by his best friends Crosby and Ella but once the hit happened he was running back to yours truly….I mean to Ainsley…because that is the love interests name not me…lol…privacy standards and all that ya know.

I am telling you.  This is one of my favorite books…the glove scene is funny until you find out about the owner of the glove and then you will swoon again.  The fact he will admit he was wrong…even if it takes 4 or 5 days but he will admit it.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

What a great read.  I am so loving this baseball series.  Braxton Brentwood is the whole package, fun, passionate, sexy, caring, and one hot baseball player. Ainsley Winslow is a hard worker, focused, and goal driven woman.

Brax has one goal make it to the major leagues he has time for fun but nothing serious. Ainsley is focused one getting into med school a boyfriend is the last thing on her mind. However, these two come together for a summer no strings attached fling and agree that is all it will be. At the end of the summer Ainsley is out totally walked away but Brax is having second thoughts maybe just maybe they can continue but Ainsley has disappeared.

Ainsley past is preventing her from giving Brax a chance she is determined to keep her focus on med school.  Brax is a patient man and knows when he can push her just enough. When past show up and emotions get involved lets just say things hit the fan. Brax implants his head where the sun doesn’t shine and it takes a few good friends to help him see the light. But will it be enough that Ainsley will give him a chance?

I absolutely fell in love with Brax and Ainsley their story was jammed pack with laughter, banter, and a whole lot of chemistry.  I am so excited to see who will be next. Michelle Lynn can Take Me Out To The Ballgame any time and I guarantee I will stay past the 7th inning stretch and into Extra Innings.

Michelle moved around the Midwest most of her life, transferring from school to school before settling down in the outskirts of Chicago ten years ago, where she now resides with her husband and two kids. She developed a love of reading at a young age, which helped lay the foundation for her passion to write. With the encouragement of her family, she finally sat down and wrote one of the many stories that have been floating around in her head. When she isn’t reading or writing, she can be found playing with her kids, talking to her mom on the phone, or hanging out with her family and friends. But after chasing around two kindergarteners all day, she always cherishes her relaxation time after putting the kids to bed.

Until it does…

After aiding an influential Senator, Ryan is thrust into a scenario that lays the foundation for his dreams of becoming a trail lawyer.

As Ryan manipulates his way into April’s life, he discovers he’d do anything to release her from the cage she lives within.

I was given a copy of the book from the author for an honest review.

Coby…Coby ….Coby!!  This brooding alpha is everything I wanted and more.  I was so excited for this book and man was I happy!!

Brogan…Brogan..Brogan!!  This girl kicked my butt.  I knew she was kick a$$ but reading her story and everything that she has gone through…..WOW.  I never expected her to be the one push Coby away.  I figured HE would be the butthead not wanting to commit but when Coby commits, he commits!!

There is so much happening in this story but holy crap was I blown away.  The things that Coby and Brogan endure and come out of was insane.   JM dug deep for this book.  There was a lot of sexy time, dirty talking and butt kicking.  But to see Coby being tender….I mean WHAT!!  Who saw that coming? Not me.  I mean yeah he is so naughty and even made me blush because who knew knife play could be so *gulp* hawt??? Not me!!

There are times in the book that might make you cringe…..yeah poor Coby and what he has to go through but the strength that he has and the resolve to be with his girl……I dunno who I love more…..Asher or Coby.  I think Coby stole me from his brother that is for sure!!

“Above all, be the HEROINE of your own life…” ~ Nora Ephron

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My twin sister and I were born in the small town of Martinsville Indiana but raised for the greater part of our lives on the south side of Indianapolis—just five minutes from downtown. We played outside like most normal children do but when Indiana winters became brutal, and since I was always a sickly kid, we watched television; mostly science fiction or the old black and white monster flicks. When I wasn’t doing that I was in my room filling up notebooks with stories.

I met my husband on a blind date, arranged by my sister, at a concert at Ball State University. He was a drummer in a band. We now have been married for thirty-two years. We have three grown daughters and live in Mt. Comfort Indiana, surrounded by corn and soybean fields, with far too many pets.

Right now I have nine published books. Six in the Union Series, an adult paranormal/fantasy romance about animal shifters, and three in a young adult trilogy, titled Children of the Alliance. I tend to write more in the paranormal genre but I have several science fictions, one dystopian, and one dram-com (drama-comedy) waiting for my attention someday.

When and Why did you start to write?

When my stepfather heard that I was suffering from dyslexia, in the sixth grade, he decided to take me to a used bookstore with the belief that the best way to improve my reading skills was to read. Some of the books were hard to get through at first, but with his encouragement I refused to give up. Then one day, after complaining about the ending of a particular book, he told me that if I didn’t like the ending then I should just write my own book, so I did. My first attempt resulted in a horribly written western when I was fourteen, staring a cocky gun slinging cowboy by the name Curt Calhoun. Curt along with his seven brothers, who all shared C names in common, may never have seen the pages of a book, but that was the day I started writing, and never stopped.

Then six years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and connective tissue disease. Needless to say my life altered and I was left having to readjust, both physically and emotionally. The CTD has been very unkind to my knees and hips and I was no longer able to do the things I once loved, such as horseback riding and hiking. I let depression get to me for a while and then one day I got up, walked to my computer, and sat down. I opened up one of my stories and started working. At first writing was just a way to escape but after some encouragement decided to give the indie world a go.

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

Of course I’m a big Poe fan. I love several classic authors such as Jane Austen, the Bronte’s and Tolkien. I’ve read several novels by Terry Brooks, Rachel Caine, along with Margaret Weis and Don Perrin to pass the time. Although, since indie publishing four years ago I admit that I read a lot less of the big publishing company books, and have chosen, that is when I have the time, to support my fellow indie authors and I have a very long TBR list.

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?

When I die someday people probably won’t know my name or my books and that’s okay. Because when that time comes I’m going to look back over my life and see that a shy, dyslexic introvert, with a chronic pain disorder did not give up no matter what life threw at her. I once thought that it was the support of others that I needed in order to achieve anything but I was wrong. Through all the discouragement and my own inner doubting while writing my books, in the end, what it finally took to fulfill my dream, which was to actually finish a book, was my own belief. The belief that I can do anything I set my mind too.

“Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.”
Johann Wolfgang Goethe.

What are you working on now?

Right now I am currently working on book seven in the Union Series, Rise of the Raven. I meant to have it out last year but 2016 was a very bad year for me. Hopefully it will be released later this year. I have a lot of make up work to do.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

Most definitely a plotter. I keep very detailed notebooks that contain definitions, maps, and scenes for each book. I tend to have one main plot along with several sub-plots so I write basic outlines to keep my mind on track, but keep it loosie goosie. We authors know how quickly characters can stage a mutiny. I’ve had characters that were supposed to die suddenly decide they want to stick around for a while, and that tends to change the story somewhat. Either way when I’m done with a book I pretty much feel that it ended the way it was supposed to. Sometimes I even write the ending first.

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

The final instillation of the Arnot brothers.  Echo, much like his brothers, meets his fake fiancé but he and she can’t keep their eyes off each other.  However, Fiancée Naomi had a secret…well a big secret actually.

The couple send a nice quiet night out when Naomi’s secret is revealed.  Echo does some diggin and finds out that she is in trouble…really big trouble with the bad guy from the last book.  The couple will have to do a lot of trusting and talking but of course *wiggles eyes* bonding to make sure that they are safe and can have an HEA.

I really love these short stories from this author.  I loved the other brothers books plus her paranormal series books are great reads. SO if you want a fun, flirty, steamy, short book then grab any of this authors books and you will love it.

Captain John Franzen.

Inside the lines…
It’s the definition of life for Tracy Rhodes, and she has no choice about that. Lines–lots of them–are what happens when one is sworn in as second-in-command of the free world.
But the lines are crushed beneath the boots of Captain John Franzen, assigned as a special advisor to her security team for a high-profile event in Vegas. The towering warrior with the haunted stare shatters her composure, invades her libido, and makes her yearn for things she shouldn’t. Sweaty, illicit things…with her body pinned beneath his…

Outside the boundaries…
John Franzen, six and a half feet of rigid composure on the outside, is a lost man on the inside. Why the hell is he even alive? A guy isn’t supposed to survive eleven years in Special Forces, especially after the crazy missions he’s been assigned. Accepting the security gig in Vegas is just a favor to a friend–a way to fill time that’s become too damn empty lately.
Until the cushy “babysitting job” becomes the most treacherous mission of his life–and the politician he’s protecting becomes the woman in his bed. The lover beneath his bonds…

The submissive he longs to claim forever.

Breaking all the rules…
She’s destined for marble halls and an oval office.
He’s wired for dirt and violence.
Will her passion be enough to tame his demons…to claim the ultimate wild boy as her own?

USA Today bestselling romance author Angel Payne has been reading and writing her entire life, though her love for romances began in junior high, when writing with friends on “swap stories” they’d trade between classes. Needless to say, those stories involved lots of angst, groping, drama, and gooey kissing.

She began getting a paycheck for her writing in her twenties, writing record reviews for a Beverly Hills-based dance music magazine. Some years, various entertainment industry gigs, and a number of years in the hospitality industry later, Angel returned to the thing she loves the most: creating character-based romantic fiction. Along the way, she also graduated with two degrees from Chapman University in Southern California, taking departmental honors for English, before writing five historical romances for Kensington and Bantam/Doubleday/Dell.

Angel found a true home in writing contemporary-based romances that feature high heat and high concepts, focusing on memorable alpha men and the women who tame them. She has numerous book series to her credit, including the Kinky Truth series, the Secrets of Stone series (with Victoria Blue), the W.I.L.D. Boys of Special Forces series, and the acclaimed Cimarron series. Temptation Court, a new series being launched through the Dark Nights Discovery project, debuts in 2016.

Angel still lives in Southern California, where she is married to her soul mate and lives on a street that looks like Brigadoon, with their awesome daughter and Lady Claire, the dog with impeccable manners. When not writing, she enjoys reading, pop culture, alt rock, cute shoes, enjoying the outdoors, and being a gym rat.
