#WOTR23 #NewRelease #Review – Fierce (Alumbra Pack Book 3) by: AJ Renee

62054612. sy475

An independent gamma, a logical werewolf, and someone who threatens to tear them apart.

After a few failed attempts to connect romantically with humans, Adira accepts her single life and continues to thrive as the Alumbra Pack’s gamma. When her wolf claims the man across the room as theirs, however, she panics and runs.

While retrieving his sister from the pack who’d saved her, the last thing Luke expected was setting his eyes on his true mate. Unable to return to his pack without Adira, he sets out to woo the fascinating and formidable woman.

Choosing which pack to settle down with should be the biggest trial ahead of them. But when someone sets out to tear them a part, the ever logical and calm Luke learns there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for the woman he loves.

Can he ask her to stay with a target on her back, or will he choose to leave his now-whole family behind?

Review by Twinsie Melinda

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

I loved reading the story of Adria and Luke. He is so level headed and understanding when it comes to Adria. His wolf not so much he is demanding and Luke has to hold him back in many instances. Adira is the Gamma in the Alumbra Pack and is treated as an equal with respect.

Adria and Luke lay eyes on one another when he is at the Alumbra pack to retrieve his sister and bring her home. The moment Adria sees Luke she knows he is her fated mate and runs. Luke is on a mission to woo her and let her know he is the best mate around. Adria decides to go with him to take his sister home to see his family.

Let’s just say not everyone in Luke’s pack is happy to see Adria. She is powerful and must threaten them because now she has someone after her. Luke is torn between staying with his pack and leaving to stay with Alumbra pack. Can Adria and Luke make things work with someone trying to take out Adria. Will Luke be able to choose between leaving his family behind to keep Adria safe or stay with his pack and keep her safe with someone after her.

I loved Luke he was so understanding when Adria said she wasn’t ready for him to mate her. He was able to stay in control and keep his wolf in check. My heart did hurt for Adria for a second the way Luke reacted when give news by his pack leader. I also loved seeing the bond Adria and Luke’s sister have. Even though, she is Luke’s big sister it is like she is Adria’s little sister. Adria is always protective of her and looking out for her best interest.

#wotr #newrelease #mm #standalone Rebound by Kate Hawthorne 

They say the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else… 
 
At least that’s what Ben is trying to convince himself. Ready to put his ex-boyfriend in the rear view for good, he connects with a handsome older man who’s only interested in something quick and casual. Their rules are simple—no strings, no feelings, and absolutely no kissing. 
 
Thomas has never been with a man before, but in the midst of divorcing his estranged wife, he knows it’s something he is ready to act on. He’s wondered for years if his attraction to men is something real, so hooking up with an experienced and gorgeous younger man seems like a surefire way to find out. Better yet, it’ll kill two birds with one stone: exploring the depths of his midlife awakening and moving forward into a brand kind of new life. 
 
One time together turns into two times, and two turns into something regular, but the rules still apply… until they don’t. Late night phone calls lead to early evening dinner dates, and one by one the rules are all out the window. 
 
Ben was supposed to be Thomas’s first time, and Thomas was supposed to be Ben’s rebound…but what if the best way to get over someone is also the best way to fall in love?

Review by Twinsie Dee

I was given this book by the author for an honest review 

What better way to get over your ex-wife then sleeping with a man right? Well Thomas did that very thing he always had a curious side of him of what it would be like to be with a man, and after he finally got divorced from his wife who was actually cheating on him, he thought what better time than now he was alone in his new apartment he got on an app he had so hidden no one would find it. Ben was dealing with a narcissist boyfriend who just abused his body, mind and spirit, but a good romp in the sheets seemed to fix it for that moment. Well he finally had enough and finally ended it with him, Ben found himself on the same app, not looking for anything serious just a good lay from time to time. Well Ben and Thomas end up talking and next thing Thomas knew he was at Ben’s door for the first time and his first time being with a man. It was everything Thomas ever though it would be and he was glad he finally did it and Ben was just as impressed with Thomas’s performance even though he didn’t know it was his first time with a man. Will Thomas be able to keep his past in the past and just be able to hook up with Ben without catching feelings and same for Ben who was fine with a no strings attached hookup or will everything come out of the closet and go up in flames. Wow this story was so spicey and crazy but oh so good.

#review #newrelease #standalone#partofaseries Perfect Attraction ( Mason Creek 29) by Terri E. Laine 

 

Mitch Bowmen didn’t have plans to be an instant father. But fate decided for him. Hiring Sunshine to help him navigate his new family situation was the right move. Acting on his deep attraction for Sunshine isn’t. Especially since her life is more complicated than his.

Ok so we are back in the Bowmen house and Sunshine is helping with James and Zoe the newest family members that no one really knew about and shes 5. Well now shes here and her mom is missing so Nate called his brother Mitchell to tell him he has a daughter and he needs to get back to Mason Creek immediately. Mitchell obviously had no idea he had a daughter he was always so careful so he thought, well once he gets home, and meets his daughter for the first time, he gets to see how much his childhood home has changed since he was last there when his mother was alive. Then he sees Sunshine for the first time and he has no idea what he has gotten into, and Sunshine has butterflies in her stomach and feels her face getting warmer when she see him.  Will these two keep it professional and be just boss and employee or will they give into their attraction for each other becoming a little family. Also will Mitchell keep his promise to his daughter and bring her mom home. This was such a cute story and i loved getting more of Sunshine and being back in the Bowmen’s house.

#NewRelease – High Ground, High Mountain Trackers #3 by Freya Barker

High Ground (High Mountain Trackers Book 3) by [Freya Barker]

Not much has gone according to plan for mechanic, Pippa Freling, recently. With lots of bridges burned behind her, she decides to stick close to her sister and give Montana a try.
Things are looking up when she joins a local group of animal activists, buys an auto shop for a steal, and even tries her luck with the opposite sex. But it doesn’t take long before her hopeful new future is derailed once again.
This time permanently.

Maintaining tight control is the stronghold in Sully Eckhart’s life. It served him well during his years in special forces and has kept him out of trouble since. But his self-restraint stretches only so far whenever he finds himself faced with the one woman who has the ability to shake his determination. A woman he’s tried to avoid for months—since the first time she shook his resolve—but who now finds herself in the middle of a serial murder case.

However, when she not only ends up a person of interest to the FBI, but firmly in the crosshairs of a killer, he has no other option but to stick close.
And give up all control.

#NewRelease – Tempting Justice, Brothers of Justice 2 by Fiona Archer

Tempting Justice (Brothers of Justice Book 2) by [Fiona Archer]

Draw your gun on a woman. Cuff her. Ask her on a date–a good plan.

The past haunts Seattle Homicide Detective Heath Justice. As a child, taking risks cost him his family. But, in a hellish Sydney reform school, the orphan found a new family, found “brothers”. Order, logic and discipline now govern his life…

Until his partner’s little sister, a curvaceous redhead, upends his organized existence in a whirlwind of chaos. London lives in the moment. Wickedly smart and with a smile that is pure sunshine, she challenges Heath at every turn.

But each maddening difference between them only draws him closer to her. Makes him want to fight for her. To claim her. To protect her.

Romance author London Shaw is devastated when a friend is murdered—and shocked that the cops might possibly suspect her. Even more unbelievable, the devastatingly handsome Detective Justice orders her to keep her nose out of the investigation.

Not happening. She’s not done seeking answers in her investigation. And she has the perfect gang of loyal friends to help her.

Unfortunately, Heath’s whiskey rough voice and masterful touch melt her resistance, oh, so wonderfully. And the more she knows him, the more she wants to be with him.

Heath’s hunger for London grows insatiable. But when his murder investigation threatens a deadly conspiracy, everyone he cares for becomes their target—including the woman he’s come to love.

Note to Readers: Opposites Attract. Unputdownable romance. Intelligent, book-loving heroine in danger. Bossy, overprotective cop who comes with a family of adopted, overprotective, grumpy brothers. Hilarious grandma shenanigans. Awesome girl-gang friendships. Heat level: Burn-The-Sheets. HEA guaranteed.

#review #partofaseries More Than a Memory ( Cole Creek 2) by Molly McLain 

More Than A Memory is a small town, brother’s best friend, second chance romance!

We were more than we pretended to be.

Or maybe we were never anything at all.

I loved him when I shouldn’t have. And I left him to save us both.

Now my life is in danger and he’s the only one who can offer the protection I need.

I hate being so vulnerable, so weak…

But if I’m going to bare my secrets to anyone, it’s him. Even if he hates me for them.

-Aiden-

I would have risked it all for her, but she quit before she ever gave us a chance.

I don’t hate her like she thinks I do, but this is more than a job for me.

This is my chance to prove that Olivia and I…

We’re more than a memory.

#WOTR22 #AttendingAuthor #SeriesStarter #DoubleReview:  Summer Heat (Dirty Summer 1) by Mary Martel and Melissa Adams 


“A dirty summer fling with a boy from the wrong side of the tracks.”

This is my sister’s recipe to avoid boredom as we spend the summer at Daddy’s newly purchased resort.

I’m not looking forward to spending time with her and our snobby, demanding mother, but hey, at least the view is nice.

Nice and hot. Like the staff.

There’s Matt, the gorgeous chauffeur. Drew, the sexy chef. And Brady, the smoking hot surfing instructor.

Boring goes out the window when I catch their attention and maybe they could give me the dirty summer my sister was talking about, a summer like I’ve never dared to dream of before.

Too bad that the guys have big dreams for their future and that means keeping their heads down, winning the biggest surfing competition Coral Cove has ever seen and most of all, keeping their jobs at Daddy’s resort.

And to do that, they know that they can show the guests a good time on the dance floor and in the water, even flirt a little, but it has to end there.

The guests are off limits and as the boss’s daughter I’m even more out of their reach.

But nothing goes as planned, lines get blurred, and the summer nights heat up.

When we can’t stay away from each other and I make it my mission to help them make their dream come true, will we end the summer with a victory or will we lose it all?

Attention: this is a story where the heroine won’t have to choose between her different love interests. This story is part of a duet and ends in a cliffhanger.

Greer has just got to Coral Cove the new summer home where her dad just purchase a resort. Her family is rather wealthy and her mother and sister prove jut why Greer really could care less about the fancy things in life she would rather stay in and read her book. Well this summer is gonna get spicy she not only does things that she never thought she would do like surf, fall for not 1 but 3 guy her father’s employees none the less, and compete in a surfing competition when the guys need an extra person. But with this fancy life comes lies and secrets, her fathers future business parter’s rude on tries to get in her pant with everything going on the island the guys are the only good thing that could make her summer better its already hot on the island but its gonna get dirty as well. Wow wow wow this is steamy and oh so sexy.

Twinsie Melinda Review

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

This book had me by the leash.  I did not want to put it down and now I need the next one. Holy crap that ending has me needing more because I need to know what is going to happen next. This story has a Dirty Dancing’ish vibe but in RH style.

Greer and her family are staying the summer at her dad’s newly acquired resort. The staff are hot and talented…I’ll let your mind wonder on that one.  The staff can show the guest a good time and flirt. But that is it they are to keep their hands to themselves and no fun times with them after hours.

Greer is nothing like the typical rich kid.  She would like nothing more than to be left alone and read a book on the beach. But the moody chauffeur caught her attention, then the hot chef made her heart beat faster, and then the sexy surfing instructor made her have dirty thoughts. Maybe being alone on the beach would not be a fun as seeing how hot of a summer could be with these three guys.

Greer caught the eyes of friends and resort workers, Matt, Drew and Brad also. How can they keep their job and their dream of owning a business alive when she is so tempting?  She is nothing like the other rich spoiled girls and that makes it even harder to resist. Seriously, one false move with Greer and they lose everything. Greer’s daddy can make sure of that. With Greers sister and mom being the people they are would jump at the chance to make her daddy think less of her. Then there is her dad’s business partner’s son constantly trying to make things harder on all of them.

You need to pick up this book to see how this summer romance takes shape. The ending is a killer and I need the next book. Yes, it is a cliffhanger but the rest of the book makes it so worth it even if the ending makes you sad. I absolutely loved all the guys even when they are being douche canoes to Greer. Greer stays true to who she is and even gives the guys a run for their money.

Melissa Adams is from the UK but was born in Italy and grew up between the two countries. She’s now UK based and her day job is connected her other huge passion after writing and reading: flying. She lived in the US and got herself a super hot Yankee husband who followed her back to Europe.

Her obsessions: Yorkshire terriers and Norse gods!

She’s often heard saying that she never trusts people who don’t love animals.

Her passions have been reading and writing from an early age and her first adventure in writing was in journalism.

Melissa’s stories focus on the romance, on character development and on the sensual aspect of love. Summer romance is her absolute first love but every story she writes has a mystery twist because life is nothing but a mystery.

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.
