Anne
Crunch time.

Two words every game developer fears, and I’m living the horror of impossibly long work days, that bleed into weekends.

The only upside is spending a lot of that time with my sexy-as-sin boss. I probably shouldn’t get physical him, but the need for stress relief is real, and so is the size of his… desk.

Then word gets back to my best friend’s brother.

The guy whose house I practically grew up in. Who I thought saw me as a second sister. Talk about jealousy. Though I’m not sure if it’s toward me, or my boss. Apparently they hooked up a few times, too.

One thing leads to another leads to the three of us playing naked Twister without the mat.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book and audio.

I was excited to read this book. I mean what girl doesn’t love an MFM story with a side of MM?? *points to me* This girl does!!

Anne is lusting over her boss Luke. She gets caught lusting over him after a kissing session by Chase who also starts to throw his hat in the ring for Anne’s attention.

The three of them have to figure out who is stealing company information and leaking it before their big game is released. While they are working on the thief, they are also working on getting a relationship going. A few bumps, miscommunications, and “what ifs” cause some drama for the three but they all know they want to make this think work.

I gotta say I was loving the history of Chase and Luke which made everything even better when they start to give Anne some eyes. The story was a quick, steamy read for anyone who loves some funny banter and nerdy references.

Allyson Lindt has been telling stories since before she could put the words on paper. She was lucky enough to marry her muse and soul mate. Their cats are their children, and when they’re not spending way too much time gaming, they’re building new worlds together. She loves a sexy happily-ever-after and helping deserving couples find their futures together.

A planet with more cats than people…
Grimalkin needs brides.

Three months ago, Amena spent one wild night with a man from Grimalkin. He was everything she’d ever wanted or hoped for, but she knows that she’ll never see him again.

She can’t.

When Amena signs up for the Grimalkin Bridal Exchange at the Intergalactic Dating Agency, she expects to be taken to a planet with more cats than people, but she doesn’t expect to see him. It’s Torao. It’s the man she slept with in a field of wildflowers.

But how can this be?

Torao isn’t ready to get married, but he doesn’t have a choice.

Short. Curvy. Soft.

The woman from Earth who practically runs into his arms is everything he never knew he wanted.

But she shouldn’t be here on his planet. She definitely shouldn’t be in his bed keeping him warm. This human has a secret, and he plans to find out what it is

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

I read Ekpen and had to read Torao. I mean the little mini cliffhanger type ending had me in knots. Ekpen and Holly are happy and now expecting so Torao signs up for a mate just so their youngest brother Leo can get married. He is the main one who wants a mate, but the brothers suck it up for him.

Torao is shocked when his one-night stand is who walks off the ship to be his bride. Unfortunately for Torao, Amena is not here for love. She is here to find her missing friend, HOLLY, and escape back to Earth.

The couple have miscommunication when Torao things the secret she is hiding is one thing and he finds out the truth. Amena is desperate to find her friend and worried their other friend left on Earth wil freakout she too is missing.

The story was another quick and sexy read about a desperate human and a sweet alien. I am of course obsessed with what is up with Leo the youngest brother!!!

A planet with more cats than people…
Grimalkin needs brides.

Earth is a dystopian nightmare that’s going to be destroyed very, very soon. Nobody knows exactly when or how, but the threat of destruction looms in the background of everyone’s mind.

Holly is ready to escape from her planet, but there’s a problem: only rich people actually get to leave Earth, and she’s barely got five bucks to her name.

Enter the Grimalkin Bridal Exchange.

The deal is simple: she goes to an alien planet, marries some random dude, and gets to live out her days in luxury and happiness.

Only, the guy she’s paired up with doesn’t want to get married.

And he doesn’t want to get married to her.

In fact, he actually kind of…hates her.

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

This is a new series by Sophie, and I was there for it. I mean Ekpen and Holly were a great quick read. Holly needs to get the hell off Earth and Ekpen is only getting married to help his brothers get their mates. Both are not so happy but are doing what they need to do.

Holly and Ekpen have some issues with miscommunication initially but thanks to a little help from his brothers and parents they are able to open up. Once he realizes how amazing Holly is and she sees he isn’t so grumpy all the time, they grow together as a couple.

I can’t wait to read his brothers book just by the way it ended with him knowing his bride!!!

There is nothing I won’t do for my family. The family that took me in, gave me a home, a job, and a brotherhood that I didn’t know I needed. But something was taken from me. Something I have spent years telling myself I didn’t deserve. I’ve spent years breaking her heart, one piece at a time. My loyalty has been to her brother, and her father’s memory. Two men who I could never betray. But things change. She’s in trouble, and even though no one has ever known, she’s always been mine. And now, I’m coming for her.

This is an adult novel intended for mature readers.
Book 2 of the Knights of Paradise MC Series. Does end on a clifhanger, part of a continuing series.

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

LAWD have I been excited for this book!!! The end of book 1 is a cliffhanger so if you haven’t read Mav and Tanner you gotta STOP and read book 1 first.

Princess AKA Dani and Dom AKA Travis are so frustrating and so yummy at the same damn time. I mean yes I get Travis pushing her away since he was raised by Mav and Dani’s family but….DAYUM the chemistry between the two of them is offfff the charts!!!

Like I said this book is picking up at Tanner and Mav’s Party. Dani feels like crap and Tanner takes her to the store when they are abducted by the Serpents…grrrrr. Tanner and Dani are freaking out wondering when then MC will come and get them. Travis realizes he is done hiding his love for Dani. He needs to get her back and tell her how much he loves her.

The time hope backwards to see how their love came to be was so innocent initially and then not so innocent!! LOL I absolutely love seeing the roles being reversed and Mav giving Travis the same shit after admitting his love for Dani.

I am so excited for the next book. I can’t wait for Widow and Lexi. I am guessing that is where this is headed???? Maybe?? But the last line of the book from Dani about a person from the past left me GASPING!!! For real I love this series!!!

S.J. Chaynie is a small town Texas girl who has found writing to be what helps soothes her soul. She enjoys writing stories full of love, angst, suspense and always a little humor. Life lessons and heartbreak are thrown in the mix, but she will always give you a HEA. If she’s not spending time with her husband and two beautiful daughters, she is reading a spicy romance novel or brainstorming wild ideas for her next book while sipping on some sweet tea. She hopes you love her characters and their stories as much as she does and it brings you all the feels!

#WOTR23 #audio #Neighbors #Military #2ndChance #Police – Imperfect Heart, Combat Hearts book 4 by Tarina Deaton, narration by Hayden Bishop

October 7, 2022 Angie J Leave a comment

It’s not a mid-life crisis if you’re finally doing something you love, right?

Separating from the Air Force after thirteen years may seem drastic to some, but Zoe Acevedo is finally doing something for herself. Opening an independent bookstore in Haven Springs, North Carolina is a major undertaking, but Zoe has a plan and a list. What she doesn’t have is time for distractions like her interfering family, her cheating ex, or the sexy neighbor who always manages to find her in the most awkward situations.

As a Haven Springs police officer, Tim Larken has dedicated his life to protecting and serving. He learned the hard way that the damsel in distress doesn’t always want to be saved, but somehow he manages to help his curvy new neighbor out of one tight spot after another.

Their attraction is undeniable, but when true disaster strikes will that be enough for two Imperfect Hearts to heal together?

Imperfect Heart is the final book in the Combat Hearts series. It can be read as a stand-alone. Guaranteed HEA and no cliffhangers.

Goodreads

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book and audio.

Again, I have to say the narration is A-MAZ-ING!! I mean Hayden just blows me away with each book. I absolutely love love love her ability to tell the story.

I am going to start by saying this series was absolute perfection. I have called all the guys as mine to my blogging sister. I can’t decide who I love most. I can’t decide which woman I want to be best friends with. I can say that I most definitely will be relistening to this series time and time again.

Oh Tim. What a character he has been. The police officer who has a heart of gold. He loves his brother and now Bree. We have seen him through the entire series, so I was pumped to see him get his HEA. He is just the fun-loving guy and I always wondered WHY?? Why hasn’t he been snatched up? ANNND Then we learn his story. Poor dude. Again, he has the purest heart of all and he has his heart destroyed by love.

Zoe is something. She is a firecracker for sure. I fell in love with her the first scene where she is so stubborn and tried to climb (unsuccessfully) through a window. She is starting her life over after a divorce and career change.

When Tim sees Zoe stuck in the window the chemistry was born. They both are attracted to the other but he is afraid to try and she is not making space for anyone right now. The more time they spend together the more their chemistry is undeniable.

I was so happy listening to the story of her overcoming and learning to trust/lean on people while we see Tim learning to love/trust again.

I have to say I am broken hearted this is the last book in the series because it was just such a great series and I will definitely be reading more from the author in the future.

Tarina has spent her entire life in and around the military – first as a dependent and then as an enlisted Air Force member.

She writes contemporary and military romance about strong women and the men strong enough to love them. She draws heavily from her own military experience to create authentic characters who face real personal challenges.

Tarina is still active duty and a single mom of six-year-old twins. Her favorite hobby is sleep. She has delusions of retiring from the military and being a stay-at-home mom and full-time writer.

“Please, Jordan. It’s Emme.”

The last thing Major Jordan Grant expected was to be pulled off his unit’s deployment for a civilian mission. But when Titan calls, you answer — especially when the mission is to rescue the younger sister of your childhood best friend. Moments away from death, NGO nurse Emme France could only pray for a miracle.

The last person she expected to see in the smoke and dust was Jordan Grant, her teenage crush and litmus test of all the men she’d dated ever since. Lying low at Titan’s exotic Abu Dhabi headquarters while the media furor around her rescue settles, Emme and Jordan explore a mutual attraction that is no longer young and innocent. Days in the desert paradise ignite desire and blur reality…until they return home, where Jordan rejoins his deployed unit and Emme is left alone to reevaluate her life and priorities.

Their passion was forged in the fires of combat. Will the home fires be enough to keep the burn alive?

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book and audio.

So, we kinda know Jordan but not a whole lot. We know he survived the unimaginable thanks to Bree. We know he has demons. We know he is struggling. So when I got his book I was so excited to meet this man.

Again, I have to say the narration is A-MAZ-ING!! I mean Hayden just blows me away with each book. I absolutely love love love her ability to tell the story.

Jordan is going to dedicate his life to military and service. When he gets a call to come and do a special “off the books” mission for a family friend he is stunned. He always thought Emme was something special as a kid and now he can’t imagine her as a woman. He joins the Titan Team (This is a series from Cristin Harber) who was hired by her family.

Emme is doing her thing providing care for women in another country when she is taken as a hostage. She is not sure why and is giving up surviving when she is rescued by….Jordan…..Doug’s best friend. The one guy she always crushed on???

The story of Emme and Jordan was amazing. The way he helped her get through her trauma. The way they both talked about their history and wanting to explore MORE. Of course, stuff goes sideways and hearts are on the line.

I was so excited by this couple. I love the way they bonded and how they both accepted each other for who they are. They both wanted more with the other but were scared to death at rejection or changes they couldn’t handle.

Shifters

#WOTR23 #review #shifters – Fierce, Alumbra Pack Book 3 by AJ Renee

October 5, 2022 Angie J Leave a comment

An independent gamma, a logical werewolf, and someone who threatens to tear them apart.

After a few failed attempts to connect romantically with humans, Adira accepts her single life and continues to thrive as the Alumbra Pack’s gamma. When her wolf claims the man across the room as theirs, however, she panics and runs.

While retrieving his sister from the pack who’d saved her, the last thing Luke expected was setting his eyes on his true mate. Unable to return to his pack without Adira, he sets out to woo the fascinating and formidable woman.

Choosing which pack to settle down with should be the biggest trial ahead of them. But when someone sets out to tear them a part, the ever logical and calm Luke learns there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for the woman he loves.

Can he ask her to stay with a target on her back, or will he choose to leave his now-whole family behind?

Review by Twinsie Angie

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.

Adira and Luke are pure perfection. I have been so excited to read the story of Peter’s Gamma finding a mate. She is a tough as nails female who is very well respected by her pack. But now her is fearing her fate because he isn’t part of her pack, and he might want a submissive mate.

Luke is Mr. Logical. He goes to get his sister to take her home from the horrors Peter’s pack saved her from. When he seems his mate, he can’t leave without getting to know her.

Luke and Adira have a great chemistry. He loves his strong FIERCE Wife for who she is. He can’t wait to claim her but is afraid she will not want to stay with his pack with his family. He understands her devotion to her pack, but he wants her with him.

As Luke and Adira are starting to form their connection and strengthen their bond, someone is after her…but why??? The story of who and why made my heart sad. The result of they who and why also made me feel for Adira and Luke.

I loved the story of the history of the 2 packs and what happens to Adira to help her and Luke stay mated and happy. It was a great resolution for them. I also loved the epilogue and how we see the story move forward. I. AM. SO, EXCITED for the next story. I sear Lance is going to have his hands full and his heart is going to have to be strong for that female he is mated too.

AJ Renee is a military wife and mother of three. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with her Master of Science in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.

She loves to read and write steamy romance with a happily ever after. When not working, you can find her playing World of Warcraft, board games, or outdoors for a run or hike.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.

OMG This book was super funny and punny. It was an adorable and sexy story about a sister being in love with her brother’s bestie and vice versa.

Leo comes back to town and confronts the woman who owns his heart. Granted he was kind of a major dick the last time he saw her…but this time he is not about to let her go!

Shelby is trying to play it cool when Leo appears and doesn’t want him to see her hurt but when he lets his feeling slip, everything changes.

This was a super quick short story about a girl and her beaver being handled by her brother’s best friend in more way then one *wink*

Dylann Crush writes contemporary romance with sizzle and sass. A romantic at heart, she loves her heroines spunky and her heroes super sexy. When she’s not dreaming up steamy storylines, she can be found sipping a margarita and searching for the best Tex-Mex food in Minnesota.

Although she grew up in Texas, she currently lives in a suburb of Minneapolis/St. Paul with her unflappable husband, three energetic kids, a clumsy Great Dane, a rescue mutt and a very chill cat. She loves to connect with readers, other authors and fans of tequila. You can find her at www.dylanncrush.com.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this anthology.

I did a happy dance when I realized the short story in this anthology was for one of JM’s beloved characters Lucas and Lily.

Lucas has 2 kids Rowen and Ettie. This is about Ettie’s quick trip to Europe. Should be easy right? Not with Lucas as her daddy. But when her long-time crush/dad’s tattoo guy overhears she is leaving, Pearson jumps into action to claim his woman.

This is a short and sexy story that any of JM’s fans will love.
