#Wotr22 #attendingauthor #mmromance #dadsbestfriend #twinsietenise #review #throwbackfavorite —Adore by: AD Ellis

Getting involved with your dad’s best friend is always off-limits. Too bad Cooper has no problem pushing limits.

Cooper Scott is a snarky twink with no filter. He has big plans for a successful future and falling for his dad’s best friend is NOT on the agenda. No worries, they’ll just keep it casual.

Jesse Thompson is a widower and new father at the age of fifty. The offer of help from his best friend’s son should have sent Jesse running. Instead, he finds himself in a predicament he’s spent his life avoiding.

Will Cooper and Jesse end up in a heartbroken crash-and-burn situation? Or can love overcome all and give them a happily ever after?

**Adore is a steamy, age-gap, bi-awakening, dad’s best friend M/M romance with a sassy smartass and a sexy silver fox. It’s the first book in the Remington Place series and can be read as a stand-alone.**

Review by Twinsie Tenise

Adore is book one in The Remington Place series. Cooper is an aspiring pre-school teacher. He rents a room from an amazing grandmother figure named Bev. (I freaking love that woman. She adds a special element to the book.) Jesse is a mechanic. He moves in next door and is getting ready to reopen the towns autobody shop. The 2 meet and there is definitely a possible friendship worth exploring. The question is- what happens the more time they spend together?

I flipping adore Cooper and Jesse! Complete opposites with a 25 year age gap and a bit forbidden since, you know, Jesse is Cooper’s dads best friend. Buuut that didn’t stop these 2 men from at least a casual fling. Absolutely nothing can go wrong when you keep things casual, right? Riiiight!

Book one in this series really set the bar high. I seriously cannot wait to meet the rest of the men from Remington Place.

I received a copy of this book from the author and this is my honest review.

 

About A.D. Ellis

Escape into addictive, sexy, emotional romance.

A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised. She spends much of her time in central Indiana as an instructional coach/teacher in the inner city of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing school-aged children, and wondering how she and her husband of nearly two decades haven’t driven each other insane yet. A lot of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.

She loves chocolate, wine, pizza, and naps along with reading and writing romance. These loves don’t leave much time for housework, much to the chagrin of her husband. Who would pick cleaning the house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her fluency in sarcasm.

A.D. uses she/they pronouns.

Goodreads

Review by Twinsie Melinda

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

Where to start with this one. To be honest I was never an Isobel fan, or Romero fan, and definitely not a Finn fan. Now Rain oh yes give me more of him I want to uncover everything about him. Let me tell you after reading this I am a huge Isobel, Rain, Romero and yes even Finn fan. I have to say I saw a side of Ariel that I was not impressed with and thought she could go kick rocks.
Watching these characters develop and grow made my heart happy. To see another side of Rain and seeing his interaction with Romero and Isobel was great to see. Learning more of Romero and even having Finn open up was amazing. I had to laugh when Rains green monster came out I really loved seeing that. The whole you kissed him before you kissed me was amazing. Let’s talk about Finn I really disliked him up to this point. I really liked seeing his and Isobel relationship go from friends to something more. Seeing Finn’s vulnerability when going on their “first” date and when he meet Baxter for the first time. I really wanted to jump on the book give him an hug and tell him it will all work out.
Thing group of hot mess express will make a great coven if they every get the chance. Really they all have so many holes in their hearts and just want to love and be loved. With their extended family the Alexander’s they will be a powerhouse but they have some things to work through and overcome. There were so many feel goods in this book, like what Isobel does for the teenage boys warmed my heart. Really they all have been through so much they all need one another to watch out for each other. Mary you are killing me with this ending I cannot wait for the next book. You really changed me from a non Isobel fan to I need so much more of her, she is so complex.

A few of my favorites:

I liked this about her as well. She had a strong stomach and seemed to enjoy the gory bits. She’d fit perfectly into my life.

I might have been beautiful, gorgeous even, but I was a goddamn nightmare underneath all of that pretty packaging.

We might not have grown up together, but there was no doubt in my mind that we definitely belonged together.

Mary Martel was born in West Michigan and spent the majority of her life there. She currently resides in North Dakota with her husband, and her two beautiful daughters. She’s an avid reader, and when not writing she can be found with her nose stuck in a book.

#wotr22 #attendingauthor #shortsteamyromance #review #twinsietenise —Loving the Boss- Ronin & Katie by: Dove Daniels

She’d loved him for years, but she didn’t think he saw her as more than an assistant and friend.
He’d been blind to what was right in front of him for all these years.
Katie knows she has a great set-up. Great job, fabulous place to live, and a dream boss. Yeah, somewhere along the line, she let her feelings for her boss morph from employee to friend to love. Unrequited all the same, but still love. She need to accept he’s never seen her that way and move on.
Ronin isn’t looking for a relationship, he’s not made for love. The only reason he’s even considering a marriage of convenience is because it would benefit his business. But every woman he goes out with is severely lacking and he’s punched in the gut when he realizes it’s because they aren’t Katie.
Will Ronin be able to convince Katie he’s in it for more than just a business arrangement? Can Katie risk her heart for the man she’s loved all these years?
*Ronin & Katie is a steamy boss/employee romance featuring an older man and younger woman.*

Review by Twinsie Tenise

Katie and Ronin have been the perfect team in the workplace for 10 years. Half of those years, Katie has been secretly in love with the boss. Things get even more difficult for Katie when she is tasked with finding the perfect woman for Ronin to marry in order to please his grandfather. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

This was another short, sweet, and steamy read by Dove Daniels. I am loving this series!

#wotrfamily #truestory #review #twinsietenise —Hope is Always Real by: Dorris Walker Taylor

 

Hope is always real—even when we feel lost in the dark.

Have you ever felt afraid, alone, and desperate in the midst of life’s tribulations? Maybe you’ve even been convinced that all hope was lost.

God sometimes allows suffering and hardship to come into our lives. It may be grieving the loss of a loved one, a broken relationship, or so many other personal experiences. However, God also promises that He will never leave us nor forsake us. That promise is fulfilled through the power of hope.

Dorris Walker-Taylor is no stranger to adversity. From the time she was a little girl, Dorris endured unspeakable trauma and suffering, ultimately falling into addiction and prostitution that would take so long to overcome. Through every storm she weathered she always had one promise to lean on: HOPE. Now freed from the bondage, Dorris is using the lessons she learned through her own struggles to offer a beacon of hope for others in circumstances where hope is hard to find.

Combining her remarkable journey with powerful insights and inspiration, Hope Is Always Real offers a glimpse at the way God uses hope to heal wounds, mend broken relationships, and transform lives. This book will show you how to:

● Find hope in the midst of darkness
● Harness the power of hope to endure hardship
● Share hope with others in times of suffering
● Discover purpose in difficult seasons

With thought-provoking reflections and insightful references to scripture, this book is for anyone grasping for a glimmer of hope in challenging times.

Review by Twinsie Tenise

I first met the lovely Dorris Walker Taylor about 6 years ago at a book signing in East Peoria, Illinois, called Writer’s on the River. She was the guest speaker. I remember being incredibly moved by her story of survival.

This year when she arrived, she brought a book she wrote and you better believe I had to have a copy of it. The smile on Dorris’ face when we all asked her to sign a book she wrote! It was fantastic. She is a wonderful human being who definitely lights up a room when she is in it. But life wasn’t always so happy for Dorris you see.
In her book she tells about her family, the never ending love of her mother, her addictions that landed her on the streets of Nashville, homeless, for decades. She tells us about her struggles to survive and her love for God. And how her love for Him, the love of her mother, and an old friend who never forgot about her, may very well be the reasons Dorris is here today, able to tell her story to all who will listen.
Thank you, Dorris, for sharing your story with us. I’m proud of you for all that you have overcome in your life. I’m glad you have reasons now to smile because your smile is too beautiful of a thing to waste.

Dorris Walker-Taylor is a speaker and a light to all those who come to Thistle Farms, a nonprofit organization. She travels across the country speaking to audiences about God’s gift of hope and using her gift of song. Dorris draws on her own experiences to illustrate the transformative power of hope and to offer encouragement to others on their own journeys of healing and recovery.

#newrelease WotR22 #Attendingauthor #bdsm #partofaseries #review #twinsietenise —Liberate Us (TNGS #8) by: JM Walker

-Amber-
He was mean.
Domineering.
Possessive.
Sammy Butcher had an outer layer he showed to the world. But I got the side of him I had been craving since I first met him.
After the first man I had ever loved was taken from me, I didn’t know how to open up and trust again. But Sammy made it his mission to let me see him. The real him.
Kind and gentle, two things I never thought I would get from him. He also showed me that as long as it was with the right person, I could embrace my deepest and darkest fantasies.
I wanted to be his pet but more than that, I wanted to be his. In every sense of the word.
For good.

-Sammy-
She was beautiful.
Seductive.
And a brat.
Amber Bishop could very well bring me to my knees just from saying my name alone. With her vibrant red hair and pale skin, I wanted to leave my touch on every inch of her.
She had a hard time trusting. Couldn’t say I blamed her. I wasn’t known to be a nice guy. I wasn’t the hero in a romance book. I said and did whatever I wanted, whatever the outcome.
But I wanted to be better.
For her.
For us.
No matter how long it took, I would show her she could trust me, and I would take care of her.
I would fight for her.
Even if it destroyed us.

Author Note:
I know a lot of readers don’t like knowing possible triggers ahead of time, but I know a lot of readers DO need to know in advance. And that is perfectly understandable! So I thought I’d do something a little differently this time for the warning in this book by giving YOU the choice to read the trigger warnings or not.
Please see the link below that will take you directly to my site and it will include a more detailed warning.
Please be advised that it WILL give some spoilers.

Review by Twinsie Tenise

Sammy Butcher is The Enforcer for Hells Harlem. He’s not a man of many words and he spends most of his days bitter and angry. Part of that could be due to the fact that a certain redhead has gotten under his skin and all he wants is her!

We all know from previous books that Sammy and his twin are both a bit kinky. In Liberate Us, we find out just what turns Sammy on. And some of the things he likes are rough, crass, and deliciously dominating. But we also see a side of Sammy we have never seen. The gentle, overprotective lover who has wanted Amber since the moment he laid eyes on her. Theres something different about this woman and he is bound and determined to make her his. The good and the bad, the rough and the gentle are just some of the many things that makes Sammy Sammy and also my absolute favorite JM hero.

Amber does not easily trust anyone, especially men. She had a terrible past and a horrible first marriage. Those things left her trust of men very low. Sammy is different and Amber knows it but that still doesn’t help the doubt she feels creeping in.

He wants to be her Dom.
She wants to be his pet.
But in order for that to happen, they first have to deal with the past and present colliding in a battle that could very well destroy them.

Liberate Us is my favorite in the series thus far. Sammy and Amber were perfect for one another. She is the calm to his storm. He wants nothing more than for her to be happy. When they are together, something magical happens. Something neither one of them can ignore. I loved every single page of their story.

***This book is not for everyone, so please make sure you read the trigger warnings.***

#Wotr22 #attendingauthor #throwback #twinsietenise #review —Greyson (Hell’s Harlem #1) by: JM Walker

Confusion. Lust. Fear. Passion.

It started the moment she passed out in my arms.

Seduction. Vile. Depraved. Desire.

She couldn’t remember her past but looked to me like I was her future.

My walls were built. My heart was cold. My emotions vacant.

After being alone for five years with only my motorcycle club at my side, she was who I had been searching for. The one I had needed all along to light up the darkness surrounding my life. Just when I thought I had her, just when I thought I could finally allow myself that happiness I didn’t think I deserved. She was ripped from my hands…

Review by Twinsie Tenise

Could you imagine waking up and having no memory of who you are or where you came from? Or, wondering why the only person you feel comfortable around, is someone you have never met?
This book had me guessing from the beginning and had me reading faster just to see if it was going to end like I wanted it to.
Greyson is- by far- one of my favorite MC books! The Hero is sexy as sin, a bad boy with a little bit of a soft side. The heroine is a little spitfire! Not afraid in the least to tell it like it is. I even loved some of the supporting characters, the fellow members of the Hell’s Harlem Motorcycle Club. I really hope some of them get books, too, because I need MORE!

Powerful millionaire falls for the nerdy, warm-hearted daughter of his business rival.

Seth Justice plays to win. Rule breaker. Former street kid from Sydney. Now a technology mogul in Seattle. He’s negotiated the deal of his life, selling his company for a fortune.

Not part of the contract is Harper Fox, the buyer’s sweet, klutzy daughter. For an overprotective, commanding man like Seth, Harper with her charming mix of vulnerability and spirit, is irresistible.

When a hidden enemy attacks the new life Seth and his adopted brothers have built, loyalties are tested, threatening not only his developing relationship with Harper, but also the last remaining ties with his brothers. At the moment of truth, Seth must decide if the woman who unlocked his fortress-like heart is his enemy’s accomplice.

After a lifetime of disappointing her cold, judgmental parents, Harper created a new family with close friends and her café’s eccentric staff. She’s content-ish in her safe, boring world.

That is, until Seth, with his panty-melting Aussie accent and masterful stare entices her to take a chance–on him. Seth’s confident, take-charge attitude awakens a need in Harper that leaves her hungry for more.

When she finds herself in mortal danger, will the man she’s trusted with her heart believe in her?
