synopsis

The hottest Nicki book yet!

The Winchester Tribune publishes an article warning the women of Winchester that there is a sexual predator on the loose in the streets of the town they once thought was safe. Danger doesn’t stop Nicki, though, and it’s not till it’s too late that she discovers the criminal in the place she least suspects. And there’s no one who can save her this time. Meanwhile, she decides that her new love interest Jesse might be worth more of her time…but he’s not making it easy.

Melinda's Review

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

What’s a girl to do she has been in love with her best friend for years but he has stuck her in the “friend zone.” Now she is starting to notice his best friend and see him as something more. Will he be the one that makes her forget about the one she loves?

So in the past books I was day dreaming and drooling all over Sean but Jessie stepped up his game and is giving Sean a run for his money in the BBF department. I can see Jade is going to keep me bouncing from guy to guy in this series.

This is about Jessie and Vicki relationship but that is not all. There is a rapist on the streets of this quiet town. There is suspense and twist in this one. I enjoyed Nicki and Jessie’s time together he really cares for her and is afraid she will break his heart. He is caring and concerned for her and her safety as always the first one there in time of trouble.  Now Sean made me so angry with him this time around. He was an A$$ didn’t realize what he had until it was gone tried to make a play for it just to see if he could get it even if he didn’t know if he really wanted it. UGH what game are you playing you don’t want it but you try to make it so no one else can either.

I need to start book four ASAP I need to find out what happens in the next Nicki assignment and with her and Jessie.

about the author

Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in Colorado and has decided she likes it enough to stay forever. Jade’s day job is teaching Creative Writing, but teaching doesn’t stop her from doing a little writing herself.

Unfortunately, there’s no one genre that quite fits her writing. Her work has been labeled romance, erotica, suspense, and women’s fiction, and the latter is probably the safest and closest description. But you’ll see that her writing doesn’t quite fit any of those genres.

You’ll have to discover Jade’s writing for yourself to decide if you like it.

#Review #TwinsieForTheDayJordan – Poppy’s Anthem by S. Jackson Rivera

Poppy's Anthem

Heath
“I’m not an addict!” Rock legend, Wild’s life is falling apart. The problem with fame and fortune is that you can’t trust anyone. Everyone wants a piece of him. They’re all stalkers! He fantasizes about finding his Elevator Girl—that kiss! He’d love to run into her again, but he didn’t even get her name . . . life is full of regrets.
Poppy
Living a life so immersed in the world of reading and writing romance can be dangerous for a young woman, like the night Poppy Talbot allowed herself to believe in the happy endings all those romance novels promise. Her First Kiss, the guy she’s been dreaming about for seven years, amazingly stumbles into her life again, proving that fantasies can come true . . . but fantasies don’t break your heart.

Review by Jordan

ARC for an honest review.

Poppy was witty and entertaining. I honestly didn’t know what to expect from the story from Heath and Poppy’s unconventional first meeting to the surprise ending. The two characters come across with strong personalities and continuously fight to control the story’s progression. There was no way of knowing what direction this story would take with all of its twists and turns that kept me on my toes to the very last page. The whole story felt real. I could visualize it as if I were watching a movie. I don’t think I will be forgetting Heath or Poppy anytime soon. It was a great story with an unbelievable ending!

I have a new one coming out, March 16, 2017. It’s an action/adventure romance. Here’s the blurb:

“I’m not an addict!” Rock Star legend, Wild’s life is falling apart. The problem with fame and fortune is that you can’t trust anyone. They’re all stalkers! He fantasizes about finding his Elevator Girl—that kiss! He’d love to run into her again, but he didn’t even get her name. Life is full of regrets.
Living a life so immersed in the world of reading and writing romance can be dangerous for a young woman, like the night Poppy Talbot allowed herself to believe in the happy endings all those romance novels promise. First Kiss, the guy she’s been dreaming about for seven years, amazingly stumbles into her life again, proving that fantasies can come true, something she thought would be great . . . except that fantasies don’t break your heart.

My last project, Wet, was a genre jump for me.

My first, Jungle: The Whispering Ruins is a Young Adult, Action and Adventure-Sword and Sorcery story.

Wet, named for the tropical and scuba diving setting, is the journey of 2 broken people. Paul and Rhees unwittingly find that what’s damaged in the other, somehow has the power to heal what troubles their own souls.

I am touched to see the great reviews. Keep them coming, please. Wet is a 3 part series and is not a standalone–sorry. I know some people hate sequels but I never intended this story to grow to the proportions that it did, it just took on a life of it’s own.

Now that all the Wets are out, I’ve been working on the sequel to Jungle. I also have a Wet Part 4 in my mind, and a totally new book idea. Unfortunately, I’m a slow writer, but I’m aiming for a new release by December 2016. Fingers crossed!

 

#WOTR #ReleaseDay #Review – Ignite by Drew Elyse

 

 

Once a Disciple, forever a Disciple.

Ace has been keeping secrets, and not just from his club brothers.
Secrets have a way of coming back to haunt you.
All of his are about to be revealed,
whether he’s ready to face them or not.

she’s only after one thing—and it isn’t Ace.
She wants closure, an end to what they started so long ago.
But with the heat exploding, Ace and Quinn are far from over.

When this biker is forced to confront his past, everything will ignite.

 

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

2nd change romance? YES PLEASE!!  Biker? YES PLEASE.  Not gonna give up his woman? DOUBLE YES PLEASE!!

So this book is the 4th in a series but trust me when I say you don’t need to read them all because I sure haven’t and I didn’t miss a beat.

Quinn is not a happy woman.  She is on the lookout for her husband, Jack/Ace to get him to sign the divorce papers.  Quinn is over it and wants this done already.  Ace. However is not about to let that woman go!!  Quinn is actually all tough but once she sees Ace she kinda melts a bit but I mean …come one…Who wouldn’t!!

Ace was gone but for a very specific reason and he is not going to let that woman go.  He is going to convince her that they are supposed to have a forever. I mean who doesn’t wnt to be chased by an alpha biker???  I mean come one ladies!!

I loved the story even when I wanted to slap them both in the head and just say “ADMIT THE LOVE PEOPLE!!”  LOL but we readers do love our angst!!


Quinn

After our ride, I was silently thrilled Ace brought us back to the house. Max was around, and I didn’t want to be a crappy friend who ditched her after she came all that way just to check on me.
When we walked in, Max and Ham were both there. I had no idea what to make of that, but with both the guys hanging around, I couldn’t ask. Instead, I was stuck agreeing to the invitation for us to order in pizza with them and chill.
“What on it?” Ham asked as Ace and I settled onto one of the couches.
“Pineapple,” Max responded.
Ham pinched the bridge of his nose. “Tell me you’re fuckin’ with me, babe,” he demanded.
She wasn’t. I knew this. In all our years of friendship, we’d never actually shared a pizza. It always came down to ordering two so I didn’t have to choke down the gross concoction she called pizza toppings.
“Just wait,” I warned Ham.
“What the fuck could be worse than pineapple on pizza?” Ace asked.
I looked at Max. “Tell them,” I said with a flick of my wrist, indicating she proceed.
“I like pineapple, olives, green pepper, and some kind of meat, but I’ll take whatever,” she stated, unabashed.
Ham blinked, stared at her, then blinked again. It seemed to drag out for a solid minute. Then he found the response of, “That’s the most disgusting fucking pizza order I’ve ever heard.”
“It’s good!” Max insisted.
“Toots, in what universe do pineapple and marinara go together?”
Did he just call her toots? He totally did. And it wasn’t in a funny, fifties throwback way. He just called her that by rote.
“Oh, yeah. I forgot. I also don’t get sauce on it,” Max enlightened him.
“You get sauceless, pineapple, olive, green pepper, and mystery meat pizza?” Ham verified.
“Yep.”
Ham looked at me with what seemed to be a bit of concern on his face. “Where the hell did you find her?”
I laughed. “We were roommates in college. Randomly put together freshman year.”
He looked between us, then smiled in a way I could only describe as salacious.
“Damn, I am getting a beautiful picture right now,” he said.
I didn’t inform him the actual picture wasn’t all that great. Mostly, we sat around in sweatpants studying or watching Netflix. Why all men thought women being alone together meant the clothes just disappeared, I did not know. If I had to guess, I would probably blame porn.
“Before you start picturing it, I was religious about making sure there was a sock on the door and a warning text, and Quinn heeded both every time,” Max informed him.
That was true. Max gave me as much warning as she could manage before bringing guys to our room, and I was fortunate enough to never accidentally miss any of those warnings and walk in on something I did not want to see.
“Not enough to kill the dream,” Ham muttered.
“Unless she’s held out on me, I’m pretty sure there was no lesbian experimentation either,” Ace added. I gasped and slapped his shoulder.
“Not in the room anyway,” Max muttered.
I gasped again. “Seriously? You never told me that!”
She shrugged. “It was one time at a party. A bunch of frat guys dared us to make out. Nothing special. She was a good kisser, though.”
Ham cursed in a way that made it clear her words offered a mix of pain and pleasure.
“It’s why I let her slide into second base before I shut it down,” Max went on.
“Okay!” I cut in. “How about we get back to the pizza?”
“Buzzkill,” Ham said under his breath.
“Don’t worry,” Max assured quietly, but not quietly enough, “I’ll tell you the whole story later if you’re good.”
“Baby, I can be as good as you fuckin’ want.”
Turning to Ace, I spoke soft enough the other wouldn’t hear. “I don’t think I want to eat meals with the two of them ever again.”
“Noted,” he replied, grinning at my discomfort.
Jerk.
“How insistent are you on the pineapple thing?” Ace asked then, getting Ham and Max’s attention back on us.
“Completely,” she and I both answered—her firm, me resigned.
“No way in fuck I’m eating pineapple on fuckin’ pizza with no sauce,” Ham stated. I was pretty sure that was seconded by me and Ace without asking. He went on. “Not eatin’ pineapple at all.”
“Why not?” Max asked. “It’s good for you. And guys really should.”
“Why?” I had the distinct sense I would regret the question as soon as the word left my mouth.
“Because it’s supposed to make their cum taste sweeter.”
Good Lord. I was right. I didn’t want to know.
“Can we please just order food?” I asked, my face on fire.
Max ended up with a pizza—if you could call her monstrosity that—of her own, while Ham, Ace, and I shared a classic pepperoni.
We’d all finished our meals, with only Max’s pizza having any leftovers, when Daz came striding in.
“Fuck yeah, pizza!” he exclaimed.
He flipped open the box for the extra large the guys had destroyed with only a little help from me, then moved to Max’s, looking at it for a second before asking, “What’s on this?”
We answered, and he stood there for a long moment before shrugging and taking a slice.
“You’re gonna eat that shit?” Ham asked.
“Still food. Besides, pineapple’s supposed to make your cum taste better,” he replied.
“See?” Max cried.
“We both need new friends,” I declared, and Ace laughed. “I’m only kind of joking,” I informed him.
“Think we’re stuck with the ones we’ve got,” he replied, just as Max shouted, “Bitch, you’re stuck with me!”
“So much for being able to pick your friends.”
Ace pulled me in close to his side, until I had no choice but to settle my head against his shoulder. As he did, I watched Max’s face get soft.
Maybe my best friend wasn’t so bad after all.

#WOTR #Review – Blaze (The Protectors #10) by Teresa Gabelman

34016323

Haunted by a past he’s struggling to forget, Blaze once again finds himself a VC Warrior—something he swore would never happen. Confident he could easily walk away again, his connection to a certain redhead makes that decision harder than he imagined.

Trying to fit into the Warrior world, Katrina holds a secret that could ruin the new life she is fighting to fit into. And having feelings for a certain Warrior does not make things any easier.

As Blaze’s past catches up to him and Katrina’s secret is exposed, they discover a deep bond that neither can fight. It soon becomes clear that a past can be put to rest, but secrets can be deadly.

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

Teresa and this Protector series keep getting better and better. Jax is my all-time favorite but Blaze came in and I now have a special place for him. He has intrigued me since our first meeting. I wanted to get to know him better and find out his story.

Blaze has been a loner for so long that now he finds himself dealing with being a VC Warrior and wanted to protect a spit fire red head. Neither thing he is used to. He is also trying to forget his past but his past will not let him go and is causing havoc on those in the VC family.

Katrina is trying to fit in at the training compound but with her past and secrets she holds could bring her world and that of other crumbling down.

The passion and heat between Blaze and Katrina is like an erupting volcano. The twists and suspense had me hanging on trying to figure out what would happen next and when it would happen. Teresa did a fabulous job keeping me planted and wanting to know more, how things were going to go and when were they going to happen. Talk about emotional. I’m telling you Steve is going to do big things in the future he will never lose that comic relief throughout. The bets never change with these guys but when bets and money start flying you never know what’s gonna go.  Oh and never underestimate a woman especially one that can play poker, the Warriors learned that lesson. They learned they don’t always have the right answers or ways of doing things sometimes they have to take advice from others.

This series gets better and better when you read the last page you want more and even want to start the series over again just to be able to see all the Warriors and their woman.

#Review #NewRelease – Waking in Time by Angie Stanton

Waking in Time

Still mourning the loss of her beloved grandmother and shaken by her mysterious, dying request to “find the baby,” Abbi has just arrived at UW Madison for her freshman year. But on her second day, she wakes up to a different world: 1983. That is just the first stop on Abbi’s journey backward through time. Will is a charming college freshman from 1927 who travels forward through time. When Abbi and Will meet in the middle, love adds another complication to their lives. Communicating across time through a buried time capsule, they try to decode the mystery of their travel, find the lost baby, and plead with their champion, a kindly physics professor, to help them find each other again … even though the professor gets younger each time Abbi meets him. This page-turning story full of romance, twists, and delightful details about campus life then and now will stay with readers long after the book’s satisfying end.

Waking in Time by Angie Stanton
I received this book from the publisher for an honest review.
So when I saw the concept of the book I raised an eyebrow. I mean time travel through the time? I loved it. I am a huge historical fan so I figured this would be a great fit for me. Then when I read that the couple time traveling are falling in love but not traveling together…well my interest was even more piqued.
Abbi is sad and heartbroken that her grandmother has died. But she does what she had planned and goes to her grandmother’s college. She is hoping to “feel” her grandmother while living in campus. When she wakes after almost her first day she is starting to travel though time. She is really confused and is wondering what the heck is going on until she runs in to someone who will be helping her in her journey back through time.
Then we meet Will……YUMMY!! Will and Abbi have a history together. They are star crossed lovers who fall in love but then are pulled apart. When they keep writing notes to each other as they time travel. It was super sweet to see these two.
The mystery…oh yes my friends there is a mystery in the story. We know that Abbi has to find the…….nope not getting it from me but she has to find something very important to her grandmother. I loved the twist of the answer to her grandmother’s question. It was really sweet.
My only issue what that the story was a little bit slow in the beginning. It seemed to take me a while to get into the story. By the half way mark I was really invested and wanted to know what was going on. I think that it may have been a little too much set up/description for parts and so it dragged a little bit.

Review by Becky:

I was so glad that Pepper wrote the Epilogue.  Being able to see the future was a true ending to the Jethro and Nila saga.
I have read the entire series.  Although the darkness of the actions of many of the Hawks to the Weavers up to and including the final debt was horrible, having the sensitive and caring actions and love between Jethro and Nila and the love between Jethro and a couple siblings was beautiful.  Reading how their love blossomed and grew stronger, and the strength of them to survive and be together was trumps the darkness.

 Trying to stay upbeat, Abby dons a sexy costume and parties the Halloween night away with her friends. Instant attraction draws her to Adam but she’s not looking for a relationship.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.
So all of you Western Palm friends know that Blake is my Lip Ringed Hottie Right? WELLLL his buddy Adam might be giving him a run for the money. I mean pierced, MMA hottie annnnd with tats. Yes Please!! Sorry Blake this Pretty Girl is all about your buddy right now.
Adam is cocky and arrogant but 110% in for pursuing Abby. He knows she is skittish and will need to go slow with her but he is invested because he knows she is different. She will keep him on his toes. This Firecracker is far from a Stage 5 Clinger like previous women.
Abby is a hot mess. Her ideal couple has split. If they can’t make it, no relationship can. This causes her to push, push, push Adam away. She knows she has feelings for him but dang if she will own up to them even when it destroys her to deny there is a “them.
I loved Adam and was happy that he pushed Abby just as hard as she fought their relationship. He wouldn’t play her or string her along but he sure let her know what the plan was. He just hoped she would get on board and agree to it!!
I am a huge fan of this series. I love how each book intersects with the others so we can see old scenes and relive old drama!! Trust me when I say my throat punching hate for Jason was there. My love for Blake was still present and now my wiggly eyes over Adam have been quenched!!

Author, hair stylist, and shoe fanatic.

I am currently working on my next release.

From New York Times bestselling author Molly McAdams comes a powerhouse romantic suspense that will have you questioning your morals and second guessing your view on love.

I live in a world few know exist. I’ve trained for this. I know what to say, what to do, and how to act. I’ve perfected the lethal calm required for this life.

Now it’s time to buy my first girl. But all it takes is one look at the brave girl who starts singing mid-auction for that calm to slip.

Briar Chapman is going to be the death of me, and I don’t care. I’ll take every day with her until that death comes, and I’ll welcome it when it does.

On the outside, Lucas Holt is what nightmares are made of. A man cloaked in darkness, with sin-filled eyes and an enticing grin. A devil so devastatingly beautiful and cruel that his very presence instills fear.

But beneath his terrifying, ever-calm exterior is an affectionate man haunted by a past that refuses to stay buried. And Lucas looks at me as though he’s finally found the only person who can make it all go away.

We’re a battle of the brightest day and the darkest night—and I want to lie in the wake of our war.

excerpt

My head shook absentmindedly as I tried to comprehend all that he had told me.

Knowing the man Lucas was behind the darkness, I couldn’t grasp why he had ever fought to get into this life at all.

“I’d been wondering what had happened in your life to make you into the devil I saw so often at the beginning,” I began, my voice soft . . . almost hesitant. “But now I wonder how you were able to remain you, instead of letting the devil completely consume you.”

“Don’t ever make the mistake of thinking that that part of me isn’t there.”

“I couldn’t,” I said honestly and huffed a small laugh. “He’s always there . . . I see you fighting him all the time. Now, more than I have in a long time.”

He held my stare, and his dark eyes burned with something I couldn’t define. “You’re afraid of me.”

I wished in that moment for my room so I could have something to hide behind, at least for a minute, because I knew I couldn’t hide any of the emotions coursing through me, and I couldn’t lie to him. “Yes,” I whispered and hated that he seemed to not only expect my answer but accept it. Reaching out, I traced around the outer edge of his eye, thankful I wasn’t shaking. “I’m afraid of the eyes I’m looking into right now. I’ve been afraid of them for a long time. I’m afraid of what I know about you now, but I wonder if I haven’t always known. If you haven’t hinted at it before . . .”

“Briar—”

“But the things you see in your mind that force me to see these eyes? They’ve been there this whole time. They were there when I fell in love with you, and I knew when I fell that they would always be there.” I watched as he fought with whatever haunted him and lowered myself back onto the bed and curled against his side. “The darkest part of your soul can terrify me, but it won’t cause me to leave.”

He gripped my hand in his, and mumbled, “Sometimes I wish it would.” Before I could react or respond, he continued. “If you think I’m dangerous, maybe you understand what my life is like, and maybe you can grasp the danger in throwing out the rules for you. Eventually someone other than William will see what you mean to me. And with who we are and what we do, we all have so many enemies who’ve been waiting for a chance to get back at us—to hurt us.” He raised our joined hands to kiss my wrist and let his lips linger on the skin there. “We don’t have weaknesses, Briar, but you are mine. They’ve been waiting for you.”

about-the-author

molly-mcadams

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur babies. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.
