Maverick Montgomery lives in the Midwest with his wife of nine years and their three partners-in-crime, his two dogs, Austen and Ava, and cat, Jude. Considered a self-proclaimed gamer nerd who was holding a game controller long before he picked up a pen. a gear head at heart who can’t resist drooling over any vehicle whether it be classic or modern, Maverick grew up immersed in classic Alfred Hitchcock films, fueling his lifelong fascination with suspense and crime thrillers.

When he’s not writing, Maverick can be found tinkering with cars or dreaming of his next project, usually no more five in his mind at once or he can be hiding out in his man cave surrounded by comic books, stacks of video games, and story ideas waiting to be unleashed. Equal parts snark and grit, he pulls his inspiration from Dick Tracy and Punisher comics, or indulging his wife’s latest project antics while figuring out ways to avoid admitting she’s right.

#Review – Don’t Hex and Drive: Opposites Attract Vampire Romance (Stay a Spell Book 2) by Juliette Cross

Notoriously bad at peopling, Isadora Savoie spends most of her time in the greenhouse or at the local animal shelter, using her Conduit powers of growth and healing. Content to remain in the background of the Savoie sister shenanigans, she’s reluctantly roped into the mystery of missing neighborhood girls.

Now, she’s partnered with a flashy, flirty vampire to find them before it’s too late. Devraj Kumar has seen and done it all. Three hundred years roaming the earth as a Stygorn—a legendary vampire warrior who operates in the shadows—has its perks. But ennui has set in. That is, until he has a run-in—literally—with an intriguing witch while on a new assignment in New Orleans.

Fascinated by her resistance to his charms, Devraj can’t help but push her buttons in an effort to get to know the shy witch. Fortunately for him, she’s been recruited by the Lord of Vampires to assist Devraj on the case. Between a Bollywood marathon, supernatural dating app, secret package, and sexy driving instruction, Isadora is in over her head. And Devraj? After just one taste, he’s playing for keeps.

This series is so much fun and I only just finished book 2. I can’t wait for the others and I’m dying to read about Jules and Reuben. There’s some unfinished business there and I really really need them to get down to it and just give me all the steamy scenes.

Back to this book. Devraj is so dreamy and Isadora agrees. She’s smitten but he falls way harder and faster first. She hesitates because all she sees when she looks at him, is a movie star and a vampire who travels for work. But he’s so much more than that and she doesn’t realize that he wants to settle down. With her.

This book is sweet, funny and oh so steamy. It has some suspenseful moments thanx to some douche bag vampires and missing girls.

I really liked this one and can’t wait to read book 3. I believe Juliette has started writing the second generation already, so I really need to read faster and catch up.

#Review – Fallen Gods (Fallen Gods 1) by Rachel Van Dyken

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

They said the Gods were myth. That the Giants were only stories told around dying fires. They lied.

The Gods aren’t dead—they’re only sleeping, locked in mortal bodies, scattered across the world, waiting for the right spark to wake them. And my father is the most ruthless of them all.

He raised me to obey. To bleed. To be his blade when the time came. Now he’s sending me to Endir University, a place filled with ancient bloodlines and deadly secrets, to steal back Mjolnir, the hammer of legend. If I fail, everyone I love dies.

I’m always impressed by authors who can create these types of worlds. My sister is the same way and I’m always bugging her to write a book. So kudos to you authors! This is also my first Rachel Van Dyken book that I’ve read even though I’ve “known” her for years.

As for this book. I really enjoyed it. I’m not a huge enemies to lovers reader. No reason really. It’s just not a trope I search for when picking up a book. But I enjoyed it in this one.

I loved the mythology parts and I’m always fascinated by those topics.

We meet Rey who is assigned a mission by her dear old dad and she has a week to do it. What could go wrong right?

Then we meet Aric, who’s a sleeping giant and is grumpy and miserable and I was digging it.

This book had quite a few twists and turns that I couldn’t predict.

I can’t wait for book two and I look forward to reading the rest of this series.

#wotr26 #attendingauthor #partofaseries Roaring Fork Rockstar (Roaring Fork Ranch 3) by Heather Slade

He gave up his rock star dreams for a family obligation.
She’s hiding a four-year-old secret behind the bar.
Together they’ll discover that some songs are written in whispers, not spotlights. HOLT
I had it all—world tours with CB Rice, my songs on the radio, everything I ever dreamed of. Except now it’s my turn to fulfill the requirements of a family trust I’d foolishly hoped wouldn’t involve me. If I don’t spend three hundred and sixty-five days straight in my hometown of Crested Butte, Colorado, my siblings and I will lose our inheritance along with our family legacy. What else is the secret trustee forcing me to do? Play gigs in a local bar and donate my earnings to a kid’s charity. It’s not the money I’m worried about, I’m making plenty of that from royalties. Instead, it’s watching my shot at stardom slip away. The only bright spot of playing night after night at the Goat is its owner, Keltie Marquez who serves up mysteries I can’t resist. Like why the rattling cough of her tiny daughter, whose wild dark curls frame her face like her mama’s do, haunts my dreams.

KELTIE
The last thing I need is Holt Wheaton asking questions about my daughter. He’s supposed to be on tour with CB Rice, not playing at my bar, not looking at my little girl like she holds answers to questions he doesn’t even know to ask. Every time he picks up that guitar, I see pieces of a puzzle that could shatter everything. His family’s past and my daughter’s future are tangled in ways that could break both our hearts—or maybe heal them. If only I could tell him the truth.

#wotr26 #attendingauthor #partofaseries Roaring Fork Roughstock (Roaring Fork Ranch 2) by Heather Slade

He carries a secret that could cost him everything.
She must trust the man she swore to hate.
And the truth between them that burns hotter than the lies keeping them apart.
 
PORTER
I came to Morris Ranch to make things right, even though Cici Morris hates me for what she thinks I did to her brother. Keeping my promise to Maverick means living with her contempt, but I can handle that. What I didn’t expect was discovering the ranch is being systematically destroyed—or falling for the fiery woman determined to save her family’s legacy. Now, someone’s threatening not just the ranch but Cici herself, and I’m trapped between the promise I made and protecting the woman I’m falling in love with. If I tell her the truth about that night, I could lose her forever. If I don’t, I might lose her anyway.

CICI
I’ve spent two years rebuilding my life after losing my parents and nearly losing my brother in an accident. The last person I want help from is Porter Wheaton—the man responsible for almost destroying what’s left of my family. But with mysterious accidents plaguing the ranch and our finances in shambles, I’m running out of options. Working beside him daily is torture, especially when I start seeing glimpses of a man nothing like the monster I imagined. As we uncover a web of threats surrounding the ranch, I find myself drawn to his quiet strength and unwavering support. But just when I start to trust him, I discover what I believed ended up being wrong—and the truth could change everything I thought I knew about family, loyalty, and love.

While each book in this series features one couple and a guaranteed HEA, the titles may be more enjoyable read in order.

There is no envelope. There is no locker. It’s not even the first of the month.

It’s two days before Christmas, and Penelope Monroe had an idea. It was far-fetched and she didn’t know if she could pull it off.

But with the help of friends, she is able to give her coworker, Josh, an incredible Christmas present—everyone who participated in the secret admirer program that year, in one place.

What better place to do it than the Dairy Bar?

Josh is over the moon as they all introduce themselves and explain what their month had in store.

But that’s not all… there’re surprises even Penelope didn’t see coming…

Penelope is suspicious—everyone in the game is anonymous, but one has to be behind it all.

Can she unlock the clues needed to unmask her admirer, or will it be game over?

New month a new its girl and our girl Harper is up. Harper is extra fun for this month because she is deaf but that doesn’t mean anything she is still a strong girl who has a great group of friends by her side. always trying to teach someone a proper way to sign something correctly with ALS but as long as they spoke slowly, she could read their lips most time. She’s defiantly one of a kind, her month was so fun to read and learning how her guy adapted for her. But the best part is that Harper is a legacy from when her parents were picked to play when they were in high school at Ryder. And with her mom gone it gave Harper a small piece of her mom back and to share something so special that only a few get to experience while a student at Ryder.
