Leave a comment

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.

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.

He’s a Colorado wrangler forced to leave his ranch. She’s a small town girl who knows his family’s secrets. Will the truth put more distance between them than ever before?

CORD
I’m a Colorado man born and raised. The last thing I want is to head to a rural town in New York where there are farms–not ranches. And don’t try to tell me they’re the same. In order to save my birthright, I’m stuck here for a year. Problem is, I have no idea why and the one person who could tell me just died. When I meet Juniper, the voice inside my head says she can help me find what I’m looking for. And probably so much more. I know I shouldn’t get too close, but she’s irresistible. When all is said and done, and I pack up my gear and head home, will she just be a distant memory?

JUNI
I’m a New York girl born and raised. The last thing I want is to stay in this small town for the rest of my life. I’ve got my ticket to ride. When the cowboy from Colorado shows up, seeking answers to secrets I can help him find, I forgo my life in the big city. To put my dreams on hold for some sexy rancher may be the dumbest thing I’ve ever done. But in the end, will he just be a distant memory?

Everyone at Ryder High knows what it means to have a teal envelope taped to their locker on the first day of the month.

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…

This is an extended series epilogue, and only meant to be read after all 8 Season 2 Love Notes books! Do not read if you have not finished the entire series. Minor spoilers for couples in Season 1 as well!

with the holidays around the corner and former Ryder’s students are home from college Penelope knows the perfect gift to give her extra annoying coworker for the time Josh. She gets all of the couples who were involved in the admirers together to let them all tell Josh their stories of their month. the best thing he could ever ask for, but they also found out a bit more then even Penelope planned for, plus they all got tickets to the masquerade ball. It was the best thing Penelope could have asked for now their year is forever marked in Ryder history and the teal envelope for this season is complete.

Penelope Monroe is no stranger to the secret admirer game. As an employee of the Dairy Bar, it’s her duty to make sure every participant comes into the shop at least once to work on a clue.

Or so her predecessor, Josh, demands.

Little does he know, it’s her turn for the teal envelope and to write her name on the white board.

Her admirer knows her love for video games. His clues come in form of a private room within the game, where she has to defeat the zombies in order to unlock information about him.

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.

#WOTR26 #Review – Unhinged (Necessary Evils Book 1) by Onley James

Leave a comment

Adam Mulvaney lives a double life. By day, he’s the spoiled youngest son of an eccentric billionaire. By night, he’s an unrepentant killer, one of seven psychopaths raised to right the wrongs of a justice system that keeps failing.

Noah Holt has spent years dreaming of vengeance for the death of his father, but when faced with his killer, he learns a daunting truth he can’t escape. His father was a monster.

Unable to ignore his own surfacing memories, Noah embarks on a quest to find the truth about his childhood with the help of an unlikely ally: the very person who murdered his father. Since their confrontation, Adam is obsessed with Noah, and he wants to help him uncover the answers he seeks, however dark they may be.

The two share a mutual attraction, but, deep down, Noah knows Adam’s not like other boys. Adam can’t love. He wasn’t born that way. But he refuses to let Noah go, and Noah’s not sure he wants him to.

Can Adam prove to Noah that passion, power, and protection are just as good as love?

Unhinged is a fast-paced, roller coaster ride of a romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features a dirty-talking, possessive psychopath and a sweet cinnamon roll of a boy with Daddy issues and a core of steel. There’s gratuitous violence, very dark humor, enough steam to fog up a hundred car windows, and something a lot like love. This is book one in the Necessary Evils series. Each book follows a different couple.

Kelly’s Review

I have no idea why this book had me hooked, but Adam’s father says never ask a question if you can’t handle the answer. So, we aren’t even going to examine that. This story is absolutely intense! I picked this book up because a friend of mine who is a MM fanatic kept talking about how great the writing is and how sick and twisted the story was. Full disclosure, MM is not my jam, but I was so intrigued about the story itself. Then, I started reading….and reading….and then my heart is racing…then I am biting my nails, then I am flipping past some pages…then get back to the crazy plot. I couldn’t stop myself! I went into this downward spiral of page turning and reading.

Adam and Noah are basically an instant attraction or instant love but on a much deeper, almost scary level. However, their trauma explains some of their actions and decisions in their lives. The fact that Adam’s father trained Adam and his brothers to be assassins will run deep within the story. There is literally never a dull moment, clear up to the very end of the book. When you read this, it will stay with you. You must love all things twisted to get through this book. Go ahead, try it! You know you want to!

#WOTR26 #Review – Dumpster Fire by Jay Leigh Brown

Leave a comment

Secrets. Lies. Betrayal. I have no one to trust.

A simple job from a sweet ghost sends my life into a tailspin.

I’m racing against the stepsons of the most powerful Seer in Grand Rapids. And they will do anything to get what I’m looking for.

I should have let them have it.

Unfortunately, I’m not capable of going back on my word.

Now, with an extra job, two insanely hot jerks, and a cascade of secrets, I can no longer trust my best friend. I’m on the run, my magic is on the fritz, my life is in danger, and there is no one I can trust. All I have to do is deliver my package, keep my magic hidden, and stay off the radar of the most powerful Seer in the city without the help of my best friend.

I am Salem Teller and I never miss my mark, even when the odds are stacked against me.

*** This is a why choose enemies to lovers romance. The guys are not cinnamon rolls and Salem is no lady. It’s a tough world they are navigating, and the folks and magic that reside in it are not always nice. Please visit my group or contact me for a specific list of things that some may find painful.***

Kelly’s Review

I picked this book up purely because of the book name and cover. I mean, Dumpster Fire? Come on? Who is not intrigued by that title? The cover is hot! And if you turn the page, Dump, the raccoon, is on the inside!

Enough about why I picked up the book and the cover. The story is soooooo great! This world that the author has built is original. A breath of fresh air! The throuple in this story are all hard headed in their own ways, all with their own agenda, and everyone…I mean EVERYONE has a secret. The types of magic users and types of magic being used differ than what most of us are used to and it is incredible!

As the story progresses and secrets start to unravel, the dumpster fire starts to burn hotter and hotter. Dump, Salem’s raccoon familiar, is so amazing!  It’s wonderful when they (Salem, Raine, and Reese) realize it is okay to break when you’ve found the right people to put you back together again.

There are a ton of twists and turns around every corner. One of the best things about the book is the comedy that breaks all the drama up. You will laugh, you will want to punch someone, you will want to give Salem a hug, and then back away because Raine or Reese have it taken care of (wink wink). Oh, and wait until you experience the library! The freaking LIBRARY!

Leave a comment

Everyone at Ryder High knows what it means to have a teal envelope taped to their locker on the first day of the month.

Stella Rivers does everything by the book. As the likely candidate for valedictorian, she doesn’t need distractions. Yet, she gets one in a big way—she finds out she has a secret admirer.

Although she’s a dancer, Stella has terrible stage fright and doesn’t like to be in the spotlight. Thankfully, her friends—and some unlikely heroes—help make sure she gets her privacy while she follows the clues to find out who her secret admirer is.

First, she’s sent a key. Then, she finds a notebook with a lock. Inside? Origami, with a small clue written on it.

Her suspect list grows as she finds each notebook and origami clue.

Can she put the clues together and match them to the perfect suspect, or will she fold under the pressure?

i bought this book here is my honest review

Everyone at Ryder High knows what it means to have a teal envelope taped to their locker on the first day of the month.

Autumn Avery-Romero is all sorts of confused.

First, her brother asks her to go on a pretend date with his best friend. Autumn owes her brother a favor, so she reluctantly agrees.

The next day, she finds out via the coveted teal envelope that she has a Secret Admirer.

There’s one big problem—she can’t be seen pretending to date someone and have a secret admirer. So she doesn’t tell anyone about the secret admirer. Soon, he’s sending her puzzle boxes to solve to get the clue inside.

But pretending to date someone isn’t as easy as she thought. Autumn’s feelings for her brother’s friend soon get as puzzling as the boxes she’s been solving.

She can only pick one—will she quit the game for her pretend boyfriend, or continue on to the last box from her admirer?

i bought this book and here is my honest review

Summer is over, school is back in session, and a new secret admirer has been chosen, but with a twist only the girl, her bestie, the people in charge and the guy know that it’s still happening. when Autumn found the famous teal envelope in her locker, after she told her brother she would do him a favor and go on a few dates with his best friend so that his ex-girlfriend gets the hint that he was in fact over the relationship. So, the secret admirer agreed to the terms and that makes it extra secret for the month, discreate clues, and the guy knowing what he is seeing isn’t actually real. How will everyone react when the cat is out of the bag that the month wasn’t skipped and it was still going on without anyone knowing, and at the end of the month will Autumn have to make a choice between her brothers’ friend if she starts catching feelings or her admirer? this is an interesting month at Ryder High and I’m all for it. I love being back at Ryder High it’s like being home.
