Review by Twinsie Tenise

Oh. My. Goodness! *fans self* This book was so HOT! Keyes- closeted biker who is hated by his father. He is a member of an MC and also runs a tire shop. For the most part he keeps to himself. Alec- black sheep of his family. Outspoken lawyer who isn’t afraid to say what he wants. Works for the assistant DAs office who is trying to take down Keyes’ MC. They cross paths one night on a dark highway in the middle of no where. It’s an encounter neither man will be able to forget. These 2 are such an unlikely pair- there is no way they would every work out, right? The chemistry between them was undeniable and no matter how much they tried, the couldn’t pretend what was happening between them wasn’t real. Any sort of a relationship may have been doomed from the start but they were just so perfect for each other. I CAN NOT WAIT for the conclusion of Alec and Keyes story. I really hope it ends in a happily ever after.

Jason loves walking dogs, but he has plans to do something bigger with his life. Not big like change the world kind of big. But big enough to change at least a few lives. So when he sees an empty garden center with a fenced yard, he gets an idea. Maybe he and Jesse could set up their doggy daycare business there.

Tony owns a small clinic downtown that caters to professionals in need of a flu shot or the uninsured who have no other options. Not a lot of in-between cases. So when Harris calls in a favor for a cute boy with a cut that he’d been ignoring for too long, he’s excited for the change. This kid has a smart mouth and a sassy attitude, but Tony can tell that he just needs a Daddy to give him some boundaries without breaking his spirit.

The attraction is instant, but the willingness to accept what is right in front of them takes a bit longer.

This Daddy/boy romance is sweet and sexy with a guaranteed happy ever after.

Review by Twinsie Tenise

Jason needs someone who appreciates him for him. Seems everytime he finds someone who at first seems like Daddy potential, ends up not being able to deal with Jason’s bratty side. He needs a Daddy who will love all sides of him.

Tony is a single doctor. When a mouthy patient shows up at his practice in need of treatment, he leaves quite the impression. Once he leaves Tony can’t seem to get the boy out of his mind. He takes a chance and asks Jason on a date. They get to know one another and when they finally connect on a more intimate level, there’s no turning back.

This was a fun, quick, hot af read. It has been fun getting to know all of the men in this series.

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Melissa Haag – My books are way more interesting than I am. I’m a middle-aged (ouch!) mid-western married mom of three who loves laughing and food. I started writing seriously in 2011 and published my first book in 2013. Before that, I just dabbled when I ran out of book money.
I’ve always loved romance and haven’t deviated.
I found one of my mom’s “savage” bodice rippers (you know the kind) back when I was 13. She took it away from me when she found out I was reading it, but don’t worry, I snuck it again and finished. After that, I was hooked.
Much later in life, I discovered a manuscript that my mom wrote and submitted to an agent in the 80s. Recently, I learned her mother also wrote and attempted to publish. So, I have a generational imagination, and I’m grateful for it.

How did you hear about this event?

My memory is both a blessing and a curse. I can barely remember what I did last week, never mind how I found out about WOTR three years ago. But thanks to my memory, I’m the BEST secret keeper, and a person can retell stories to me at least twice before they stick. I also don’t hold grudges. HAHA

How many years have you attended?

This will be my third year.

What genres do you write?

Anything romance! So far, Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy Romance, Fantasy Romance, and SciFi Romance. All under different names, of course.

What is a book of yours you wish more people read?

Dealing with Demons. Readers always say they want stand-alone books, but I’ve found my series are more popular than the one and only stand-alone that I wrote.

What is one fun fact about you?

One? I have so many! I suffer from some gnarly migraines. They can be vomit-inducing, and I’ve been known to ask my husband to cut my head off in a fit of tears. In recent years, I’ve learned a few tricks that help me avoid/minimize them, so decapitation requests have fallen away.

The second fun thing is that I used to work in IT, and I loved SQL scripting.

Harris didn’t want to spend fourteen hours on the road during a storm, but when he hears about a dog in need of a home a few states away, he makes the trek. Not long after his journey home, he passes a bus stop with a person who doesn’t even look alive.

When Jesse snuck out of the trailer in the dead of night, he didn’t have a plan. He just needed to get away. And after an hour of walking, he realizes how stupid he was to leave on foot. Just because he wasn’t going to die at the hands of his ex tonight doesn’t mean he won’t freeze to death on his way out. Curled up in the corner of a bus stop, he closes his eyes and waits for peace to finally find him.

But when a strong man picks him up and puts him inside a warm pickup truck, he has to wonder if maybe an angel found him after all. And good ol’ vigilante justice is the only thing that makes Jesse feel safe. Well, that and the man he aches to call Daddy.

This Daddy/boy romance is sweet and sexy with some dark moments and a happy ever after.

Review by Twinsie Tenise

Harris is on a little road trip to save a dog when fate intervenes. Jesse is running from an abusive boyfriend. He ends up in a bus enclosure, freezing and barely clinging to life. Harris finds Jesse just in time and he wants nothing more than to protect this stranger. He will do anything to keep him safe.
This was a cute short story about a Daddy finding his boy. Harris and Jesse were meant for one another. I enjoyed getting to know the 2 of them as I read their story. This was book 1 of 9 in the series. Each book is about a different couple.

Forensic photographer, Dena Williams, has spent her life trained to see what others cannot. Vampire, Dimitri Kovac, has waited every Christmas for a miracle that does not come. In the Oregon wilderness, during a snowstorm, these two destined souls collide. Dena’s only hope of survival rests in a vampire with the heart of a poet. Dimitri only has five days to win a skeptical woman’s heart. As the Christmas tree lights burn brightly and the snow continues to fall, will Dena succumb to a vampire’s charms? With so little time, can Dimitri win her love?

I received this book for an honest review.

Kristal Dawn Harris is a multiple award-winning, Rone nominated, American romance author. She loves romance of any kind, but paranormal is her favorite. Kristal writes paranormal, fantasy, contemporary, and erotic romance in different lengths.

Kristal currently calls Kentucky home with her husband of 33 years. She has two children off living their best lives. Kristal earned a degree in Accounting Technology from Miami University, but found her passion in steamy romance instead of numbers.

When Theodore Davenport decides to switch his mundane job for a career, he walks into Holden House Publishing with enthusiasm and determination to succeed. As he settles into his new role, makes new friends, and dreams of making it to the top, everything is going to plan.

Until he meets James Holden, CEO of Holden House.James

Holden hasn’t been able to stop thinking about his encounter with the timid man he met in a club bathroom last week, and when he discovers the one haunting his dreams is an employee, he can’t seem to stop himself from pursuing him.Just a little fun – that’s what James tells himself. He can’t afford to care for someone who can never reciprocate, not once they find out who he really is. James believes nobody deserves the burden of being attached to him. He’s a complicated man. Damaged. Difficult. Demanding.Broken.

Is Theodore strong enough to confront James’ demons? More importantly, is James?

Review by Twinsie Tenise

I usually go into books blind but I’ve had a real struggle as of late finding a book to grab my attention. This seems to happen to me a few times a year, as such, I was gathering recs from an MM book group when I happened across this one. I skimmed the blurb and dove in.
There was something about this book. It had my rapt attention from the first page.
The title should have been enough of a warning that my heart may end up breaking but the author managed to fix that before the last page. Mental illness is nothing to be taken lightly and I feel like the author did a wonderful job of handling the subject with finesse. Please read the author note as the subjects covered in this book may be triggering to some.

I’ve always been a wild card – the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it – but appearances can be deceiving.
Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.
But the first night I’m back in town, I come face to face with Audrey, my college calculus tutor. We had a brief fling right before I was drafted into the NHL. Now, her five year old son is standing by her side, and I don’t need a tutor to do that kind of math.
Audrey insists she doesn’t want me involved in Graham’s life unless I can commit to being a dad. With everything else going on, this is the worst possible timing.
But every minute I spend with Graham and Audrey feels exactly right, and I’m left questioning everything I thought I wanted.
Because now my goals are shifting, and getting what I really want might come at the expense of the game I’ve given my entire life to.

Review by Twinsie Melinda

I purchased this audio one because one hockey players & secret baby and two Andi Arndt was one of the narrators.

Teddy Hamilton and Andi Arndt did a great job of narrating Drew and Aubrey. They kept me invested in this story I has a hard time pulling myself from the book once I hit play.

Drew Is a hockey star that finds himself back home because he has to help care for his mom. However, when he is at his agent’s house for a party, he comes face to face with his tutor from college and one night stand, Audrey. He gits a big shocker when he also finds himself looking a “mini me” named Graham.

Audrey was Drew’s tutor in college and gave into temptations one night only to realize Drew left her with a keepsake for the rest of her life. She tried to tell Drew about Graham but when Drew failed to call her back after 20 left messages, she realized it was just her and Graham. Well and her family who didn’t know who his dad was.

Audrey was not sure about Drew after he broke her heart so bad but now she also has Graham to protect. Drew has his mind set he is going to be a part of Graham and Audrey life so now is the time to prove he is not the same man she once knew. I enjoyed getting to know all the characters in this book. Audrey and her family were great. They were the support system she and Graham needed. I have to say I enjoyed seeing how over protective her brother (who is also Drew’s agent) is of Audrey and Graham. To watch how loving and caring Drew is toward his mom and Audrey and Graham is so heartwarming.

Julia grew up on the warm and sunny West Coast, but her first decision as an adult was to trade her flip-flops for snow boots and move to Boston.

She’s been enjoying everything that New England has to offer for over two decades, and now that she’s acclimated to the snowy winters and finally found all the places to get good sushi and tacos, she has zero regrets.

You can usually find her in front of her computer, but when she stops writing she’s most likely to be found outdoors, preferably with a pair of skis or snowshoes strapped to her feet in winter, or on a paddleboard in the summer.

My clan of wolf shifters wanted me dead for being born a girl… but I didn’t just survive but also met someone that felt like family.

That someone was a boy in the orphanage I grew up in.
I never could have imagined that I’d meet Derek again…
His innocent eyes had a lot of pain in them after all those years.
Perhaps that was the reason I didn’t recognize him at first.

It didn’t matter what my heart felt for him.
I had to keep myself from Derek… at all costs.
There was no way he could find out my real identity.
Derek was human, and I was not.
That was the only fact I needed to remember, especially now that I had hired him as my employee.

But the heart never listens to reason.
One single night changed everything.
The bad boy that I’d been in love with was hiding a secret of his own.
And he was the only one that could make my body shiver with pleasure.

The dream that I’d started living in wasn’t real.
Danger was chasing us… and Derek became the only one that could save my entire world.

Each book in this sexy-as-sin series can each be read as standalones, and has no cliffhangers, but are best read in order.

Review by Twinsie Melinda

I picked up this box set simply because I was in the mood for a shifter book.

This was a quick read and was enjoyable. It did start a little slow but worldbuilding so I get it. There were a few things that were different about this book than other shifter books like a shifter could not identify another shifter and why in the world would a pack want to kill off all female children.

Louisa family sent her away when the pack wanted to kill the female children in the pack. They found an orphanage that also took 7 other girls. Millie took all the girls in and raised them. The girls stayed together and are now running the old orphanage as a bed and breakfast together.

Derek remembers living at the orphanage before being adopted. He has had a rough go at life since leaving and just needs to get back there. Once there he finds himself the new handyman for the bed and breakfast. Louisa realizes what Derek has always meant to her and he could be the one that helps her and her sisters when the past comes knocking on their door.

I enjoyed seeing Louisa and Derek get to know each other and overcome their fear of being able to open up to each other. I liked that we got to see interactions between three of the sisters just wish I could have been able to get to know the others a bit more. Can I just say I would love to have a secluded cave and a hot spring to get away from everything once in a while too. My heart warmed when Louisa realized the amount of people she had on her side that wanted to help when she needed it most. This was a quick read but packed full the entire read. I cannot wait to jump in and read the rest of the series.

A chance encounter.
A blue-eyed Raven.
A single curse.
She’s not supposed to be mine. Not just because I’m her professor, or she’s my student, but because of what I am. A man with a mask. A shifter with a curse. But I can’t stay away. Not when I know the beauty of her heart, and not when her life is in danger. Truths are revealed, secrets unveiled, and when my wolf decides she’s ours, there’s no turning back. I’ve always protected Stone Crest, but now, I’ll spend the rest of my life protecting her.

Stone Crest: Rise of a Raven is a standalone professor/student shifter romance with no cheating and a HEA.

Review by Twinsie Melinda

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

I was so excited when this book hit my kindle, I even put down another book I had just started. I have been waiting on this book since SJ Chaynie said she was writing a paranormal book.  This book did not disappoint and I want to know more about the other characters too. I am hooked on these guys and need to know everything about them.

Raven is dealing with the death of her best friend and her dad sends her off to a new school, new roommate, and new surroundings. After a night out with her new roommate she finds herself kissing a stranger. The pull to this guy is strong but when she realizes the same guy is one of her professors, they both try to fight the pull. However, somethings are too strong to resist especially when they keep gravitating to each other.

Locke is Raven’s professor and a shifter with a curse there is no way he can be with Raven at least that is what he tries to tell his wolf. However, his wolf has other ideas she is theirs and they need to protect her. Even if that means stalking her and watching Raven from afar to keep her safe.

I was so drawn into this story and wanting to know the characters I did not want to put this book down. The storyline was good I wasn’t sure how I would like the student/teacher relationship but It worked for me in this case. Learning the roll of each of Locke’s friends and what they were intrigued me. In so many stories’ vampires and wolfs do not get along but here they share a house and work very well together. The secrets that came out and the plot twists were great I was blind sided on most of them. I enjoyed the chemistry between Raven and Locke. Is there something going on with Decan and Presley? I need Presley’s story we just got to see little glimpses of who she is when around Raven. I know there is a good story there I need to know it. To be honest I want to know all the guy’s stories really what brought them to were they are. What happened to them to leave their families and make their own with each other. Everyone has secrets and they need to be let out.

A few of my favorite lines:

I cross my arms. “I don’t know you.” He flips his visor up. “I just had my tongue down your throat. We’re acquainted enough…” – Locke

“Eat.” He shoves a box to me. “What? My ass not big enough for you, Sullivan? You one of those Kardashian groupies?”…“You avoided the question.” I point my fork at him then twirl it around. “You like big butts.” He Shrugs. “I cannot lie.” Did he just make a joke? A laugh bursts from my chest. “He’s got jokes.” – Raven and Locke

S.J. Chaynie is a small-town Texas girl who has found a love for writing. She enjoys writing romance, with a sprinkle of suspense, and a little humor. If she is not busy writing her newest ideas, she is spending time with her husband and two beautiful daughters. She believes a good book and a lot of laughs is the best medicine. She brings suspense, love, angst, and sometimes the occasional heartbreak to her stories. Always a HEA, but every character and story she holds close to her heart and hopes they touch yours as well.

Review by Twinsie Tenise

I can’t stop smiling. Lance is so poetic. I love him. He’s just perfect.
He’s gentle, kind, and patient. He’s prepared to do whatever it takes to sweep Hudson off of his feet.
Hudson is anti relationships and there is nothing his teenage crush can do to change his mind. Things are perfectly fine how they are. Lance worked hard to try and earn Hudson’s trust and hopefully his heart. It was adorable.

The way A.d. creates a world where you want to know more about book after book is beyond me. I’m excited to see what happens next in this series.
