Review by Twinsie Angie

I received this book from Prolific Works for free.

Oh this was a yummy age-gap, taboo, love story about a 24 year old girl who has loved her 37 year old mom’s ex-boyfriend/mentor for 7 years!!

Eurydice and Jericho are a sexy read with lots of chemistry.  I mean woof from the first few pages I was hooked and couldn’t put this DOWN!!

Eurydice has a horrible mother and a awful brother who take, take, take from her and she being the good human gives, give, gives.  But once night Jericho steps in to help the women he has grown the love and a line is crossed leaving them both wondering what is happening.

Eurydice and Jericho both are so scared to lose their best friend but also are so desperate for more from the other.

When they finally crash it is so freaking hawt….man…..yall!!!  SEXY time was fun to read but of course they there is a bit of drama before they can fully open up to what they want.

I loved this book and would love more to their story if it ever was expanded.

#WOTR22 #Novella #Medical #TwinsieOfTheDayPam – Wes, Love in Scrubs Book 3 by AJ Renee

Wes (Love in Scrubs Book 3) by [AJ Renee, Angie Wade]

From the author of the St. Fleur series comes a fun tale of finding love in the emergency room.

Nurse. Mom. Daughter. Natalia Kruze wore many hats, but mom was the role she was most proud of. As a single mom, she couldn’t be everywhere at once, but she had been blessed with a patient son and helpful parents. Dating wasn’t high on the priority list, so it was safe to say it had been years since she’d experienced any kind of electrifying spark from a man.

With her defenses low after missing another soccer game, a patient catches her eye. Sexy and decidedly stubborn, Wes Wilkins succeeds in leaving his ER visit with her number.

Had they finally found the love they deserved, or will they put their dreams second to their kids’ needs?

Review by Pam

Wes: 5***** Stars
Family Committed
Gah!!! Crying now. It’s so good! Each book in this series can be read as a stand alone. But I highly recommend that you read them all. Each one gets better. You will need tissues for this story. Natalie and Wes meet in an unconventional way. I love the way AJ thinks. Lots of humor. Love the commitment to family. From a True Fan… Pam James.

Such a fun set of books to read.

Deacon (Saints vs Sinners Series Book 1) by [CJ Warrant]

Deacon Saint’s father told him once that anything that gets his blood racing is worth the risk doing. He doesn’t factor in that he would have to face the tragic loss of a best friend, discover that his mother has Alzheimer and come face to face with a girl who broke his heart all those years ago. Nevertheless, coming back to my hometown in Tennessee after being gone for ten years—leaving behind a racing career in the MotoGP world—that Deacon would have to deal with the trials set before him in this small town. He’d rather take on the track, lose skin, break bones, and tear muscle than choose to open his heart.

Olivia Bane thought her life is perfect. Working as a nurse, a boyfriend who’s a doctor, and friends she cherishes. However, the second Deacon Saint comes back home, her ideal life shifts to utter chaos. Someone broke into her barn and a fire is set in Deacon’s, all the while learning a hard lesson of trust.

Deacon shattered Olivia before he left town and now he thinks it’s water under the bridge and is determined to reclaim her heart. She might be throwing off mixed messages, but it’s going to take more than sweet talkin’, fast motorcycles, and good old Southern country charm to win her back.

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

I saw the cover and was like HEEEEY GURL!!  Tell me MOOOORE!!!  I was super pumped when CJ let me have a copy to review.  I have read one book by her but have been looking for another to try.  Given this is a new series and it was about bikes, I was in.  But again, can we talk about the cover *Wipes drool* I am all in with that baby.

Alright so this story is a 2nd chance romance and I gotta say they are my jam.  I mean the fact Deacon and Olivia have this blazing chemistry was also a big win for me.  The two are totally head over heals in love but are both idiots and wont admit it because…..feelings/fear/pride??  I mean all of these things get in the way…oh yeah and Olivia’s DB Boyfriend but lets just eye roll him and move on.

Deacon comes home for his besties funeral when all the “guys” are there.  He finds out some old secrets and then discovers his family is in serious disarray.  All he wanted to do with make peace to his friend, bury said friend, and peace outta this town for good but when the script flips and the drama takes over Deacon and Olivia are in for a wild ride.

Award-Winning Author CJ Warrant was born an overseas Army brat, in a Korean Italian household, but settled in the states at five. With a career in the beauty industry, married to a wonderfully supportive man, and three grown kids, her view of life is as such. Life is a journey; both good and bad, light to the dark. She takes it all in, learns from every experience, and captures those moments in her stories.

#WOTR22 #novella #medical #Series #TwinsieOfTheDayPam – Jason, Love in Scrubs book 2 by AJ Renee

Jason (Love in Scrubs Book 2) by [AJ Renee, Angie Wade]

From the author of the St. Fleur series comes a fun tale of finding love in the most unexpected place.

Being stood up for a first date was the last thing on Ava King’s mind. Yet Mr. Wrong opened the door to Mr. Sexy, who’s already sitting next to her at the bar. One drink becomes two, and going against her own code, she goes home with the charming stranger.

Waking in Jason’s foreign bed sends her into a panic, and she escapes before any morning-after awkwardness can ensue.

Can fate bring them together again to see if their chemistry transcends one steamy night of passion?

Goodreads

Review by Pam

Jason: 5***** stars
Tug at Your Heart Good
This book made me an emotional mess. It definitely tugged at my heart. Ava runs from Jason after a night of passion. He does not have her # or her last name. When they meet up again, he wants another chance to get to know her. Great short story. It can be read as a stand alone. From a True Fan… Pam James

#WOTR22 #Novella #Medical #Series #TwinsieOfTheDayPam – Joshua, Love in Scrubs book 1 by AJ Renee

Joshua (Love in Scrubs Book 1) by [AJ Renee, Angie Wade]

From the author of the St. Fleur series comes a fun tale of finding love in the emergency room.

The single life had been treating Hazel Rivera better than she’d anticipated. With no one to report to, she did as she pleased, which included if and when she’d have a man in her bed. She felt no shame in satisfying her own needs, but when toy-play goes wrong, she earns herself a visit to the emergency room.

Squirming in pain, the last thing she expected was to find a sexy nurse assigned to her room. She could lose herself in a man like him—sinful eyes, full lips, and a kindhearted attitude—but before she can catch Joshua Bradley again, she’s sent home.

When life hands them a second chance, will they risk their hearts?

Goodreads

Review by Pam

Joshua: 4**** stars
Very Entertaining
This laugh out loud story has some very sexy scenes. I was chuckling right away. Hazel has an unfortunate incident and ends up in the ER where she meets Nurse Hottie. You have to read the book to find out why. This is a short story. I would have liked more because it was so entertaining. From a Fan… Pam James

Audio Review 2022

I purchased the audio.  The narration has done a great job in the series brining the characters to life.  I have enjoyed listening to him through the series.

Original Review 2018

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

*Purrrr* oh Marcus you sweet and delicious shifter you!!  I gotta tell ya Hunter stole my heart but you had me giving some sideways glances because something about you just made me go HRMMMM.  Seeing you finally get that sassy but quiet red head was a great story.

Roxy has lived a life of horror and she is happy and content living in the shifter town.  She is hiding out from her past and doesn’t have any hope or dreams for a future even if a certain alpha brother doesn’t catch her eye.

We have a lot going on in the book.  The town is rebuilding from the last books destruction plus new shifters are wanting to join the pack ANNND let’s not forget about Roxy’s past coming back all thanks to a jealous townie.  So yeah, a lot happens in this book.  Its uber fast paced but the story of Marcus and Roxy is super sweet and emotional.  Marcus’ devastated to learn about her past and his over protective side really kicks in high gear for his mate.  Roxy gains so much strength and courage that we see her transform from the frightened girl to a strong, determined woman!!!  I Loved the banter between the two once all the cards were laid out on the table as far as it being a “them” vs a “you and me”.

There are so many character lines still open and hope that we discover the truth about Devon? Taz? Leda??  Please don’t leave us hanging for long Teresa!!

Audio Review 2022

I purchased this audio book. The narration does a great job changing the voices and bring smart ass Hunter to life!!  I have enjoyed him for this series.

Review from 2017

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

Oh Hunter!! I was waiting not so patiently for you and you did not disappoint me at all.The book starts with Hunter returning from that little incident on TV…ya know where he outted himself as a shifter to save VC Warrior, Jill. Everyone in town is mad except for Garrett. He is relieved that Hunter is back to help defend the pack from other alpha’s. They looked at what Hunter did as Garrett not having full control of his of his pack.

When Hunter returns he can FEEL eyes on him and is stunned to realize they belong to a pair of grey eyes he has tried to deny his entire life……

Emily has loved Hunter her entire life. She has put with the fact she is the town joke. Hunter took her to prom only because he was forced to other wise he never gave her the time of day….every other woman has gotten his “time” but not her.

Emily is over loving him and her confrontation causes Hunter to come to terms with the fact he loves Emily. However, with one of his brothers also loving her, ex drama of hers, the town being infiltrated by other packs and haters wanting to keep Emily and him apart, he has his work cut out for him.

Can I get an AMEN for Steve, Slade and Jill being in this book!! OMG Steve…for real I cant wait for him to fall in love. He made me giggle so many times this book. I mean must Shake it off right!!?? Jill and Slade were as adorable as ever.

I purchased the audio book.

The narrator does a great job making the voices original for each character,  I think he does a great job voicing Hunter who is a huge pain in the butt in the best way.  LOL

Review from 2015

Received a copy for a honest review

I love me some Teresa Vampires soooo of course i will stoked to read some shifter stuff from her.

This book is a great look at how amazing Teresa writes for any paranormal person. You can see her style. Her alpha males are strong but her kick butt females are anything but weak.

So this book is about Janna who is a shifter who has never shifted because she has no clue about her other half. She is looking for a man who may have some answers for her. She and 2 other shifters stumble into the town when she is met by Garrett Foster…RAWR LADIES!! Garrett and Jenna fight each other every step of the way but both are drawn to the others inner wolf.

The story is a great, quick read. The fighting is awesome. The loving is HAWT annnnd the humor is a riot. I hope she writes more from this town of shifters. I want to see Marcus get his HEA and I am dying to know who will change Hunter into a one woman man.

#WOTR22 #NewRelease #Paranormal #Witches – Till Death Do Us Part, An Ariel Kimber Novel Book 7 by Mary Martel

Till Death Do Us Part (An Ariel Kimber Novel Book 7) by [Mary  Martel ]

Ariel Kimber and her coven are under imminent threat from the Council. They are monsters, without fangs or horns, who hide behind their mantle of power, and they will do anything to get what they want.

The problem is, they want Ariel. They want her so badly that every other person around her is in danger just by being near her.

The Council forgot one very important fact though—Ariel Kimber is no victim. She’s a survivor, and the Council is stupid to think they can simply take her and destroy everything and everyone she loves.

She will do whatever it takes to keep her coven safe, even if she has to go through hell to do it. They are all more than willing to fight alongside her because she’s finally agreed to spend the rest of her life tied to them in every way possible.

They have a lot to fight for.

The goal is to make it to the other side without losing anyone along the way because they want their happily ever after.

And they want to be able to say till death do us part.

But life for Ariel Kimber is never that easy.

And it never will be.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I received this book from the author for free for an honest review by that sexy bitch Mary Martel.

Between texting Mary to yell at her and texting her to sob to her…this book was everything fans of the series want to read.   There is so much that happens in this book to move the story forward and answer questions but start so many new ones.

I am so afraid to spoiler this book that I am going to keep my review kinda vague in parts.  I want you to be just as devasted and excited as I was.  Lemme just say prepare for Chapters 14-17 because they are so heavy.  My stomach was in KNOT…KNOTS…..tears….heartbreak….guys…so much happens in this part of the book.

Now don’t go thinking the rest of the book isn’t important because LAWD it is.  There are so many parts of the book I need to discuss like Rain, Romero, and Isobel.  I mean Jesus these 3.  The crazy triangle!!!

Can I saw Q and Ariel arguing are pretty epic and as always hilarious for you the reader.  Q is my favorite of the coven guys and of course he is an epic fuck up with his girl and understanding when she needs girly stuff.  But I love Damien and Jules more this novel.  Jules for standing up to Rain and Damien for understanding Ariel and her girl ways.  Tyson is the best friend we need and love.  Dash…sigh,,,he is just sensitive Dash.  The twins made my heart so happy in this book.  They open up and really show us how much they love being loved by Ariel.  They understand her fears and do everything to let her know she is perfect for them.

The Council…guys…so much shit happens this book and shit will reverberate after shit that happens this book. I am so nervous and excited for what will happen after this book.  GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Vague reviews so as to not post spoilers!!!!!!  Its so tough!!!  But I need you to be just as devastated and broken as I was!

There was a new character introduced…..friends……your heart….it will be destroyed and yet it will make everything right with the coven.  Does that make sense?  It will trust me. I loved and hated this character.  Loved them because of who they are but hated their back story. If they are involved in the Council it cant be a good one right????

As always I am a needy reader and want so much more.  I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!

#WOTR22 #TwinsieForTheDayPam #MMF – Shattered Dreams, Redemption Book 2 by Dakota Trace

Shattered Dreams (Redemption Book 2) by [Dakota Trace]

Sometimes the fairytale falls apart…

The Submissive
Lizzie thought she’d found the perfect…Dom, in her husband Max. He’d swept in and rescued her and her best friend from a hellish existence. He’d sheltered them through the storm of mental illness and gave them a place to belong. Everything was golden…until it wasn’t. A heart attack…followed by a shooting has just shown her how vulnerable her Master actually is. And for the first time in their lives together, she’s the one in charge and taking care of him…sorta.

The Switch:
Max has been hiding a secret from his beautiful wife. He loves being her Master, her rock, her shelter in the storm, but sometimes he struggles with his own need to submit. He never particularly cared for labels, but in his world they mean everything. And now that he’s unable to give Lizzie what she needs…he finds himself withdrawing. He loves his wife, but she deserves better than a man in a wheelchair. Maybe it’s time to find someone to fill his shoes…

The Dominant
Elliot lives for taking care of those around him, which is probably why he became a cop in the first place. When he’s called to the hospital to take the statements of two of the victims, he meets both Lizzie and Max. Both are hurting, one from his wounds and other from her husband’s stubbornness. Perhaps it’s time for a little tough love..

Only time will tell if Elliot is the solution for Lizzie’s and Max’s broken relationship….

Goodreads

Review by Pam

5***** Stars.

A Different Dynamic

I’m not really into the Daddy Dom. But this book tugged at me. I couldn’t stop reading. Lizzie needed a strong Dom to keep her in line. Max is the Master that can do this. Raine is her best friend. They need each other’s support. Master keeps both of them in line. Then Master and his best friend Storm get shot. Here comes Elliot. A very dominant detective. The dynamic of all these relationships change now. Y’all need to read this book. From a Fan… Pam James.

Hello, and welcome to my site. I’m Dakota, an author of erotic romance (think 50 Shades of Gray – but better) and paranormal erotica. And what exactly does that mean? Well, since I’ve always marched to the beat of different drum: it means that I get to take my unique life experiences – like putting around in the garage with my dad, or driving a train when I was ten, to create worlds where the heroines aren’t necessarily June Clever, but are strong independent women who may stand on their own two feet, but long to submit to the right man. Whether it’s two friends who realize there is more than friendship between them or the sexy alien who captures his unwilling slave’s heart, sparks fly between them. My imagination has no bounds or at least none I’ve found yet!
