#NewRelease #PNR – Dark Legacy by Betty Legend/Betty Shreffler

Dark Legacy

Nothing like falling for your sworn enemy and starting a war.

I live in a world where demons exist. I’ve been trained as a lethal weapon to hunt and kill in order to protect humans. That is until I met him—an incubus—an alluring, sensual, dream-weaving demon that ignites every fiber of my being and leaves me yearning for more of him. I shouldn’t want him. He’s the enemy, everything I’ve been trained to hate. Yet, there’s no fighting it, our desire is electric, the heat combustive.

What’s worse is…I want out. I want a life of my own without orders or the solitude of being a hunter. I want freedom. Only problem is, the organization I work for gives you two choices; obey orders or die.

I have other plans.

To get out, I dig into their secrets. The more I dig, the darker those secrets become. They’ll do whatever it takes to protect themselves and bury their problems.

In order to survive, I have to turn to the enemy. It’s in his passionate arms where I discover the truth and reclaim my freedom.

Together, we fight against a new enemy—the Arcane Society—and save more than just our lives…

If you like action-packed, paranormal, urban fantasies that feature a bad@ss heroine, a dangerous hero, and a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance, then this adventure is for you!

Sophie Stern is writing as L.C. Mortimer

Beyond Rainbows: A Zombie Novel by [L.C. Mortimer]

The end of the world came and went, and with it, our hope died.

Tiffany Erickson is nobody special.

She’s just an ordinary person trying to live an ordinary life, but that’s nearly impossible when you live in a world ravaged by the undead. She roams through the free realms, hiding and living in the shadows of the impossible cities, until one day, everything changes.

A lost child.

An unimaginable note.

A plea for help.

Tiffany has a choice to make, but no matter what she chooses, she’s about to discover that she can no longer stay hidden in the shadows as the world rots away.

She has to fight, but it could cost her everything.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book.

ZOMBIES!!  YYYYEEEEESSSS!!  Ok so anyone who is scared of zombie books this one isn’t very gory, but it is intense with fighting and running for safety from hordes.  If you want to read a book about great interpersonal relationships and how the world has gone to hell..this is your book.

Tiffany, Gregory and Kendra are just living life the best they can in their treehouse above the world in an open pasture when a child stumbles into their safety zone.  Riley is 7, alone, and looking for her dad.  She admits to what she has seen and what she has lived but needs to get to her dad is another town. The trio decide to help her vs having her stumble onto zombies or even worse, HUNTERS AKA Bad humans.

The story is a look into what it would take to help someone you don’t know when you aren’t even sure if who they are looking for is alive but also putting yourself at a great risk.  I loved the relationship the 3 had and when Riley joins the group how they all do everything they can to hep her feel safe.  They all want to see this little girl who was born in the crazy zombie world find her dad.

I admit there were a few EEEEK moments and even a couple teary ones.  But I loved the world LC created and can’t wait to grab another novel to read.

L.C. Mortimer was raised on a small farm in Kansas, which sparked her interest in going off the grid. Learning how to can, garden, and become self-reliant were all important parts of her upbringing. After pursuing her degree in English Literature, Mortimer traveled the country with her husband, living in Hawaii, Maryland, and everywhere in between. When she’s not busy dreaming up her next story, Mortimer can be found stocking up on canned goods for the zombie apocalypse.

Her Little (A Novella)

I loved my husband.
But I also loved my sister in-law.
After getting the courage to talk to Jude about my little fantasy regarding his stepsister, I was surprised but elated that he agreed to go along with it.
My crush turned into more.
My fantasies became reality.
My obsession became my little.

Her Little by JM Walker

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

LAWD!!  There is a lot of naughty happening in this little ditty.  Jude and Mia are a married couple who are lusting over Tiffany.  They want to invite her into their bed or see how she might respond to it any way.  They are both almost obsessed with Tiffany.  What’s the problem you ask?  Besides the fact she might not even be interested?  Oh ya know……she is his step sister…..yup taboo and dirty is this little read from JM.

The book was a great look into the addition of a person by a solid couple. The constant reassurance there is no jealousy, and the trust is still complete.  But also reassuring the new person this is not anything that will destroy the solid foundation but will increase their relationship.

Ok so the boring stuff about the book is right above…..now let’s get to the hawt as hell stuff??  Uhm yes the scenes are naughty and such a great read.  Be ready to gulp down the glass of water and turn the AC on high for this sexy novella by the queen of dirty!!

J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who hit USA Today with Wanted: An Outlaw Anthology. She 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.

#ThrowbackReview #Dark – Broken Scars by JM Walker

Leave a comment

Broken Scars (A Standalone Novel)

Ruined. Tortured. Broken.
What could have been the perfect childhood, turned into a hell that the devil himself would shy away from. I was forced to deal with an evil that would make the darkest of souls cringe.
Lily Noel was scarred but beautiful. She was perfectly flawed and everything that I needed.
Attraction bordered on obsession.
Passion bordered on ecstasy.
Addiction bordered on insanity.
Nothing could get in the way of our love.
Nothing…

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

Well, well, well Lucas.  It took you HOW MANY YEARS to finally tell your story to JM and man….was it a good one!!

JM asked me what my description of Lucas is.  I said he is her most Alpha guy yet….but then thinking on it, he is also the sweetest guy yet.  How is that you ask???  Just meet him and you will understand.

Lucas, sweet baby Jesus your life.  I can’t even understand how you LIVED through everything you lived through and yet you did.  You are the definition of survivor.

Lily…guuuurl I don’t know if I have a girl crush on you or if I want to be your best friend???  I mean you are so damn sassy and feisty and you push Lucas to open up.  You accept that broken man and all the baggage he has.  Sometimes you needed to take a quick breath, understandably so BUT you don’t quit on him.  You give him the unconditional love he has been craving his entire life.

These two, I have been DYING to read their story.  We know they are together because we have met them in many of JM’s books.  I just wanted to know how “Love Conquered All” for you two.

This story is complex, deep, and full of emotion.  Be ready to have a bruised heart and make sure your arms are in good condition because all the hugs you will be giving these two.

There are so many amazing twists and turns as we always expect with JM but this book, I think had so much heart and soul baring between the main characters.  They both are damaged souls who find THEIR person due to a quick jump out of the rain!!

#ReleaseDay #DualReview #Paranormal – Moonlit Bond (Elements & Ancestors #2) by Britni Hill

Leave a comment

Moonlit Bond (Elements & Ancestors #2)

Release Date: August 31st

What’s a girl to do when she’s pulled from her bed in the middle of the night and put in a magical coma?

 My life is boring. Just the way I like it. I happily run my flower shop and keep to myself when I’m not hanging out with my closest friends. Until I’m ripped from my bed and held against my will.

Desperate to find a way home, I tap into powers I’ve never used before and lucky for me my good friend, Sierra Cruz, comes to my rescue.

All I want is to go back to my life.

Too bad that doesn’t seem possible. Because I’m the last remaining Warren witch, and I have an entire ancestral line of power stored inside me. Magic that someone wants to steal. Magic I can’t even use myself.

Even better, my powers have been going crazy since I met Owen Whitford. That can only mean one thing. Something I refuse to acknowledge. I need his help, even if I won’t admit it, to stop what’s coming.

As soon as we figure out what that is.

Book 2 is $ 2.99.

Moonlit Sight (Elements & Ancestors book #1)

Moonlit Sight Blurb: What’s a girl to do when she loses her job, her best friend goes missing, and she starts to see, hear and feel things that aren’t there?

Moonlight Grove is a small, peaceful town full of familiar faces. It’s perfect. Until my best friend, Lucy Warren, goes missing.

Enter Simon Caldwell.

The man is attractive. A bit mysterious, and a new face in my sleepy little town. He’s a paranormal investigator who’s come to Moonlight Grove looking into reports of the supernatural kind. It all sounds like good TV to me. When I begin experiencing things I can’t explain, he may be the only one who can help.

Maybe there’s more to Lucy than meets the eye. What if her disappearance is linked to all the crazy things happening?

With Simon’s help, I’m determined to find her and to ignore the way he makes me feel while I do it.

Moonlit Bond (Elements & Ancestors #2) by Britni Hill

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

I was super excited to get the next installment of the Warren Witches.  We get to continue from book 1 where we see Lucy getting taken.  We also get to see Owen for the first time annnnd yeah, he is kinda a dick initially.  LOL

I loved seeing Lucy and Owen steam up with their attraction but also seeing them try to figure out why people are after her.  Aurora was another great character, and I can’t wait for her book. But I loved reconnecting with Sierra and Simon who are still main characters in Lucy’s story.

We are learning more about Lucy, her familiars, her abilities, and why she is being targeted.  The ending was more of a cliffhanger for more to come like that last book.  I loved the final page where she is like Welp this is happening….It’s kinda how things seems to go for Lucy.  I know here rag tag team of friends will be there in book 3 to help her win this coming war that is set for their small town.

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

I was so ready to get the second book of Elements & Ancestors.  This book is about Lucy Warren. She is the last of the family witches. She was living life like anyone would until that night she was taken. We are taken on a journey to figure out what happened to her and who took her.

Lucy is back thanks to her BFF Sierra.  She is ready to have things go back to normal.  Lucy meets Owen who is buying some of her family property.  Her magic is starting to go wacky is it because of Owen or due to the reason she was take.

Lucy cannot stand Owen because let’s face it he was a jerk the first time they came face to face. After Lucy, Sierra, Simon, Aurora, and Owen begin to dig into what happened to Lucy Owen started to thaw. I loved seeing Lucy and Owen connection grow and how Lucy’s familiars calmed her and guided her to things.

The journey that we go on here is crazy I wanted to close my eyes at some points in the book.  Really the places we were drawn to and people we were introduced to had me cringing.  This one leaves us on a cliff and I’m so ready for the third book to see where we are headed next.

The Dragons of Paragon

A clash of kingdoms. A war of hearts. A final chance.

Colin’s dragon has its jeweled heart set on Leena, but she’s a distraction he doesn’t need. The stars have aligned and it’s time for the Defenders of the Goddess to take back the throne of Paragon or be crushed under the evil empress’s heel. Colin, along with his siblings, is at the center of it all, so why can’t he stop his dragon’s obsession with the elf scribe?

Leena made a vow to the goddess and her people—and she doesn’t intend to break it. Still, there’s only so much temptation any woman can bear. Things in Ouros are coming to a head. War has come, and as much as Leena would like to avoid her feelings for Colin, she’s key to helping the resistance defend her land against Paragon.

As the world unravels around them, Colin and Leena must come to terms with what’s truly important. How far will Colin go in his quest for the kingdom? And can Leena resist the comfort of his embrace in what could be their final days?

I came from nothing and made something of myself. I’ve only ever loved two things. Cars and her.

The alpha.

On top of the world.

I’m not the carefree man she once knew.

That was the problem with being one of the richest men in the world—everyone thinks they know me, but they only know what I want them to.

I’m demanding.

Arrogant.

Controlling.

My company thinks they can change me. Soften my image. Make me more appealing to the public.

Little do they know, the woman they hired was my best friend’s little sister, and the last time I saw her…

I broke her heart.

#NewRelease #Mafia – Glitter & Greed (Brooklyn Brothers, #4) by Melanie Munton

Glitter & Greed (Brooklyn Brothers #4)

We are the Rossetti’s.
The exiled “sixth family” of the New York mafia. We’re the good guys.
People don’t fear us…much. They respect us.
The five of us? We’re the Brooklyn Brothers.
And we protect what’s ours.

Don’t ask me what made this girl different, what made her stand out. I’m not proud of it, but it wasn’t exactly my first ever lap dance. The last thing I expect is for the same woman I’ve been obsessing over for two months to waltz right into my gym.

Catalina “Cat” Vasquez is the most alluring, sensual woman I’ve ever met. She has secrets, and I want all of them. It’s the only way I can protect her. Because it seems I’m not the only one who’s been looking for her.

Just my luck that I would fall for a woman who has connections with the Mexican cartel. Who would have thought her stalker would be the same man who’s about to wage an all-out war on my turf?

I’m a fighter by nature.
I fight for what’s mine.
And I’m not about to lose to someone who wants to steal Cat away from me.
If he thinks his guns will save him from my fists, he came to the wrong city.
