A Hollywood starlet fearlessly prepares for danger but finds herself unprepared for the perils of love.

On the big screen Sheridan Bennett’s got the face of an angel and the body of a…well, isn’t that what’s expected of an award-winning actress? But there’s something about her Clayton Kincaid can’t quite figure. The former Ranger is transitioning from local police detective to private investigator, and Sheridan Bennett is one case he’d like to solve.

Sheridan knows her luck has taken a turn for the worse when her criminal father appears in the middle of a police fundraiser. Not only that, the one man capable of uncovering her secrets witnesses her distress. Her idyllic life falls apart as her father’s demands for money escalate and a stalker begins a menacing game.

Determined to keep Sheridan safe, Clayton works his way into her life and her heart. But when Sheridan learns Clayton has secrets of his own, she decides to face the fight alone. Undeterred by Sheridan’s belief in his deception, Clayton uses all his resources when the path of her notorious father and her stalker converge.

Together they must learn that the spotlight shines brightest when it’s shared, and that not all love is an act.

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

Oh man was I ready to get to know detective hottie AKA Claton and I totally expected him to be the hot and cold person in this relationship but boy was I wrong.  That man was in it from the start!!  Sheridan is a MESS!!  That girl has been through more in her life than most people and is living to tell about it.  Granted she is living a shallow existence out of fear but she thinks is strength until old Aquaman  *Snickers* forces his way into Slims life.

Clayton is your typical brooding alpha but he sees our star and is instantly drawn.  Sheridan is a famous actress and has scened with many celebrities but no one gives her the butterflies like Clayton.  When she needs help he is there to offer his strength annnnd a bit more.  Try has hard as Sheridan liked he broke down every single one of her walls and swam his way past her defenses….again the Aquaman references because they cracked me up in the book.

There is A LOT happening in this book…I mean a lot!!  Lots of side plots and bad guys, twists, turns,  the Russian Mafia and even some human trafficking L but the story is solid.  You think you might have this figured out and then we get a whole new level of “Oh crap” thrown at us.

I gotta tell ya I wanted to smack Sheridan a time or two but I think her sisters are a great touch stone for her.  I also loved seeing Rachel and Clayton bantering back and forth in the story.  But I am DYING…like for real death is imminent if I don’t know about Erik annnnnd Ryan.  Serious the need for these men to find an HEA is super strong!!!!

A shifter battling his wolf instincts…
A woman living a life of obligation and lies…
A moment of fate interrupted by danger.

Rebel Lynch has spent two hundred years searching for balance between his human side and his inner wolf. As a den President of The Feral Breed Motorcycle Club, a lack of control over the beast within isn’t just a pain in the tail, it’s a death sentence. One served by his club brothers: the judges, jury, and executioners of the wolf-shifting community.

At Amnesia Gentlemen’s Club, customers and staff check their real-world identities at the door. Charlotte, one of the club’s best waitresses, ditched her legit career in corporate IT because she needs the kind of income those pesky IRS folks can’t track. When the smart-mouthed bombshell pulls a gig serving a private party, she expects nothing more than a few extra tips. That is until dirty-talking Rebel Lynch strolls into the room looking like sin incarnate, flashing motorcycle club colors, and blasting Charlotte’s expectations about work, life, and love straight to hell.

One glance at Charlotte and Rebel knows she’s his fated mate. But a wolf shifter is attacking women at the club, threatening Charlotte’s life, and putting the entire shifter community at risk of exposure. Rebel and his Feral Breed MC brothers must find the crazed shifter before he strikes again. If Rebel can’t uncover the new monster in their midst—and learn to rein in the protective instincts of a fully mated Alpha—his future with Charlotte will be dead on arrival.

I bought this book after seeing this authors amazing list of Paranormal books when I was at an autor event.

Shifters plus MC…That is the Holy Grail for me.  I mean WHAT!!!  Yes those 2 genres are my favorite and probably the most read by me so…uhm…yeah..direct hit to my pocket book.

Rebel is the Alpha of his chapter of the Feral Breed MC.  He has a tight group of shifters who respect him even though he is a human turned vs natural born wolf.  When Blaze, the President and resident bad a$$ head of the NALB, ask Rebel to investigate a situation, you go.  Rebel is shocked to see his mate working in this dive bar/sex sop.

Cherry/Charlotte hates her job slinging drinks but she needs to pay her brothers tuition.  This is the only job that gives her enough money to do that along with provide food on the table.  When sex on a stick walks in and she is forced to be in a room with him, she is dying.  Not outta fear for the shifter but outta lust.

The couple are quickly throw into an even worse situation which causes the world around them to shift.  They gotta deal with the mating pull, the bad guys and the fact that ….uh…well…Charlotte doesn’t even know what the heck a wolf shifter is!

I totally loved this fresh look at the shifter/mate dynamic.  I loved that Charlotte stands her ground with Rebel.  She makes him earn her heart.

A storyteller from the time she could talk, USA Today bestselling author Ellis grew up among family legends of hauntings, psychics, and love spanning decades. Those stories didn’t always have the happiest of endings, so they inspired her to write about real life, real love, and the difficulties therein. From farmers to werewolves, store clerks to witches—if there’s love to be found, she’ll write about it. Ellis lives in the Chicago area with her husband, daughters, and two tiny fish that take up way too much of her time.

No matter how cruel it’s been in the past, I’ve never been able to flip fate the bird. I’m a romantic at heart. So when fate drops a leather-bound journal at my feet, I know I should walk away.

I don’t. I pick her up, bend her spine, spread her pages. From the first word, I’m a goner. The owner didn’t give me access to her most intimate desires, but I devour them anyway. Her private darkness, her candid, explicit poetry—it all goes down like warm milk. And from that point forward, I drink, eat, and sleep her.

Halston
I went to his apartment and let him take my picture. Just once, to see how it would feel. I’m not his to look at, to inspire, to touch, but when he watches me through his lens, it gives me a high I don’t want to come down from…

My journal is the one place I can be myself—as long as I can tie it up and put it away when I’m finished. But when Finn undoes the bow, he pulls strings that could unravel each of us.

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hi my name is Dawn Brower and I have a problem…

um….This question is so hard. *taps foot* What do I say? Hmm. Let me see… I’m a mother. I have two teenage sons. The oldest is graduating this year. That’s scary stuff there. I can’t imagine him actually *gasp* adulting. I mean technically he is an adult but if you’re a mom you know what I mean. He has to figure some crap out and start making a life of his own now.

I live in one of the cold tundra states. I don’t particularly like it but I suck it up. The kids won’t be around much longer and once they’re gone maybe I’ll migrate south. Other than writing I work as a substitute teacher. It is what it is. The kids make it interesting.

What else do you want to know? I mean those are the basics. Work *check* Kids *check* location *check* I suppose you want something interesting… I’ve got nothing. I’m as boring as they come. *wink* Seriously though ask and I’ll endeavor to answer.

When and Why did you start to write?

In a way I suppose I’ve always written in some form. I used to enjoy it and even took a creative writing class in college. But I never took it seriously. It wasn’t until my step-sister dared me to write something that I did. that was over 3 years ago now. I’ve become addicted to it and I can’t stop. There are folders upon folders of ideas in my writer file on my computer. I have enough material to keep me busy for a while.

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

I read everything and in every genre. Some of my favorite authors are: Johanna Lindsay, Illona Andrews, Gena Showalter, Kresley Cole, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Julia Quinn, Tessa Dare, Hailey Edwards, Rebekah Lewis, Jaci Burton, Eve Langlais, Lynn Kurland, Richelle Mead, Christina McKnight, Eloisa James, Lisa Kleypas.

Honestly I could name a ton more. Those up there though–auto buys. Love their work.

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

That I could do it. Seriously. Part of the reason I never tried was because I never believed I had the patience to tell a story properly. It’s a nice feeling to finish a rough draft and a crazy intense one when it’s released to the masses.

I also discovered I have a hard time sticking to one genre. That is why I flip from historical to contemporary and why the Linked Across Time series exists. It has all the things I love to explore in it.

What are you working on now?

I am working on edits for Spellbound by My Charmer: Linked Across Time 5 which releases on Valentine’s Day. After that it is edits on Stolen by My Knave: Linked Across Time 6 which is going into the Regency Ever After boxset first. Once edits are finished I’m diving into the next Heart’s Intent book followed by Linked Across Time 7. I’ll be busy busy writing and editing over the next several months.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

I am mostly a panster… I have a super basic outline to give me and idea of what direction I want to go in but what happens once I start writing is often a surprise to even me.

Veva Matron is a feisty girl raging with suppressed anger and distrust of men.
Solis Cronus is a blindingly beautiful, Greek god of a guy, who likes to play women.

An electric hatred thunders through each of them about the other until one night, lightning strikes. A world of secrets reveals the destiny of two at odds with one another, and clouds the line between love and hate. Can a lively girl find calm in the stormy tension of a boy made of sunshine and sin?

The mythical tale of Zeus and Hera reignites in this modern interpretation of enemies to lovers. Full of flirty sexual angst and teasing temptation, Solis might be the one man who can extinguish Veva’s angry fire and ignite a different sort of flame: desire.

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

Ok so Hades I fell in love with and didn’t think anyone could touch him annnd then I met Solis, AKA Son of Zeus and all time player struts by…uhm yeah I followed…LOL

So Veva (AKA Total snatch) is with Persephone after her heartbreak with Hades…sigh….that book…ok back on track.    Veva is not about to fall on love with a man annnnd then *Que the music* in rolls Solis….sin on a stick!!  This girl is not about to fall for some pretty boy player!!   (I love it when enemies fall in love with each other…HELLO Pride and Prejudice people!! )   The banter is always a fun part of the story as we watch these people unwillingly fall in love.

This couple’s love story is hawt and has this amazing chemistry and the burn ….let’s talk about the burn….it’s so slow and agonizing but yet soooo amazing!!  Yes people the slow burn of their story…EEEP.  I think that is a gift of LB’s.  She gives just enough tease and then runs away.

But yes this book will sit as a great read for me that is for sure.

Alter ego of L.B. Dunbar. A writer of mythical tales in the modern world.

Scoundrels, thieves and rebels inhabit the rookeries–where the women are fierce and the men are dangerous. Are you willing to take the risk?

WHEN AN UNDERWORLD PRINCESS…
Beautiful, innocent Mina Mason has led a sheltered life as the sister to the most notorious crime lord in England. Her family’s wealth and expectations keep her in a gilded cage, never able to act on her true desires. Like kissing — and engaging in far more scandalous behavior with–Charlie Thatcher, her childhood best friend. As a member of a rival gang, Charlie is distinctly off-limits.

FALLS FOR THE WRONG MAN…
Charlie Thatcher has known since he was a boy where his loyalties should lie: with the Chapman Street Thieves, who saved him from a brutal death in the dark alleys of the Ratcliffe rookery. As a bartender for the Three Boars public house, he deals in information and secrets, protecting his fellow brothers with his mind and his fists. But when one of those members threatens Mina’s safety, Charlie’s primal, protective instincts are triggered–and his defense of her puts them both in danger.

PASSION MAY BE THEIR DOWNFALL.

Stealing the Rogue’s Heart is a dark, gritty, and sexy romantic suspense set in pre-Victorian working class London. While it is book four in the Rookery Rogues series, it can be read as a stand-alone historical romance novella.

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

Ok so I love Historical books.  When my friend tells me “You need this book in your life” I grab it when the author offers me a copy ANNNND I owe my friend a big ol’ high 5.  I loved this book!!  Now I will admit I was a BIT sad that there weren’t any Dukes or Lords because that is the only historicals I have read.  HOWEVER, after I settled in to the story I was totally digging it.  It was like mafia families meets Romeo and Juliet.  How in the heck is that possible you ask?  Dude I have no clue but it just WAS!!  And I think that is why I ended up loving it.  Romeo and Juliet is awesome and then you throw in the Sopranos…GOLD!

Mina and Charlie are best friends BUT, yup you guess it, they are in rival gangs.  Now the two gangs are at an uneasy truce but when someone says something to Mina that is “not appropriate to the Princess of the King family”…ALL OUT WAR happens because Charlie defends her honor….sigh…so sweet.

The book is about Mina not giving up on Charlie and trying to figure out a way to be with the man she loves….FYI I love her plan.  I mean I died when she went to tell him her thoughts and his stunned expression…..BEST. EVER!!

I loved the ending and Charlie’s thought about his past, present and future…..gotta say I might have gotten a bit misty because he may have been a bad man but his heart is pure sugar.

This is the 4^th book in a series.  I have not read any of the books. I had Zero issues picking it up and rolling with it.  I would say when my time allows it, I might like to take a read at the books and I will grab the next books when they become available because the cast of characters that need an HEA…I mean come on Cy…Jane…LET IT HAPPEN!!!!!

When and Why did you start to write?

I’ve always toyed with the idea of being an author from a young age. My first story FINDING YOU was 3/4 completed by the time I was 25. It sat in a computer file for close to 20 years before I finally dusted it off and modernized the story for publishing in 2015. This started a new career for me. I’m thrilled with the journey to date.

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

I love authors who make me feel strong emotion: laughter, love, heartache. Some of my favorite for that are Jill Barnett, Cynthia St. Aubin, Julia Quinn, and a whole host of others.

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

How tough it is to get the word out about your books. Marketing is tough and don’t let anyone tell you differently. I have a great respect for anyone in the marketing field.

What are you working on now?

I have a few stories going at one time. I’m still creating novellas for the Stonebrooke series, and I have plans to create a few novels for the Holt series.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

I’m a total panster. The story hits me, and I have to get it typed immediately. I’ll be partially through, and the plot takes a major twist. I follow where it leads most times.
