Review by Twinsie Dee

i was given this book by the author for an honest review.

Honey found herself at the local bar to sing some karaoke and have a few drinks, she found herself thinking it was her turn to sing, and it wasn’t it was a very good-looking man, singing her song. she found herself stuck on him and drowning in his voice, they meet, and he wants her name Honey has 2 rules when she goes out 1) no names and 2) no hooks-up, but she then finds herself breaking her rules and in the sheets with this mystery military man. after 3 years of being away from home and a divorce later Honey was moving back to the small town, she always considered Honey finds herself back in Magnolia Grove for her bestie’s grandmother’s funeral and she wasn’t not going to show up for her. home. Honey still can’t get her mind off of her one night stand she never does that but with it had been 3 years it was definitely a wild night she knew she would never see the mystery man again, well she didn’t think she would until she heard his magical voice in no other place then behind the pudendum at Sunday service and he’s the preachers son. Honey is traumatized and Mr. preacher man is just as shocked, sermons, and trying to get Honey’s heart is what he’s working on being back in the small town, will he be able to pray and get into her heart or will the devil get to it first. this was a very slow start with a lot of repeating in the first few chapters but then it started picking up and was good.

Gail Haris believes in fairytales, love, and laughter as the best medicine. She has somewhat of a warped charm.

Steamy with a dash of sugar! Gail loves blending romance out of life’s everyday chaos. Stories filled with humor and steam and moments of sweetness, along with suspense and twists. Death… and then sprinkle some glitter. “Let’s make it awkward” is her motto.

Gail enjoys living in a small town in Southeast Missouri, and then taking adventures all over the world with her two fierce princesses and Boo Bear aka her ultimate real-life book boyfriend and high school sweetheart – basically the love of her life.

When she’s not getting into mischief or scheming with her two girls, she’s busy coming up with crazy scenarios for her characters.

Using coffee and her imagination, Gail writes contemporary romances that blend laughter and true love out of everyday chaos. She writes in a variety of genres including romantic comedy, romantic suspense, and new adult/coming of age romance.

Hopefully by following her dream of becoming an author, she can be an example to her daughters that their dreams can become a reality. Maybe she can encourage you, too.

Never stop believing in love, dreams, and yourself. And coffee…don’t give up on coffee and books 😉

#review #fantasy #dragons Fourth Wing (The Empyrean 1) by Rebecca Yarros

Leave a comment


Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders…

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away…because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom’s protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die

i bought this book here is my honest review

OMG so idk how much I can explain how great this book is. so, trust me if you weren’t sure about reading this book and don’t want to fall into the hype of this world DO IT. Violet wanted to go into the scribe quadrant and that’s what she had taught her whole life her dad helped her. but with her dad dead, her brother dead, her mother is the general of the rider’s wing. She has no choice and goes to the riders’ class at the beginning of the new year. So much happens that you just get sucked in, Violet isn’t in the shape to be a rider but she isn’t going to give up, she uses her brain to help take out the rivals that are out to kill her. Dragons, swords, violence, and oranges. this book is gripping from the start.

#review #partofaseries Silas (Station 47 5) by Lauren Runow

Leave a comment

Kara
I moved to Nashville to follow my dreams of being a country music singer.
Who would have ever thought that I’d meet the love of my life at one of my first shows.
His enthusiasm for my music is evident, but when he gets his sister to invite all of her college friends to my next show, my music career isn’t the only thing soaring through the night.

Silas
I always wanted to be a firefighter, but I never knew how much of a toll it would take on my personal life.
Finding the one took a back seat early on, and the thought of having kids was absolutely out of the question. I’ve seen too much heartache and would never put myself through the possibility of losing someone I love.
I’m used to being the hero in everyone else’s story, but I never knew just how much I needed a hero of my own until I met her.

Silas is a standalone novel in the Station 47 series shared with seven other amazing authors. It is a surprise baby, country music, and found family novel with some sweet, emotional, and spicy times.

Another heart is set on fire in the station as Silas found himself at the bar after a rough call and spotted a gorgeous girl setting up her set that the March brothers had for entertainment at their bar. Kara is a nanny by day and an up-and-coming county singer after all that’s why she moved to Nashville, she wants her dream to come true, but she knows it’s a cutthroat industry but that’s it could be all worth it in the end. But even though she was warned in a joking manner that some of the firefighters that come into the bar can be trouble Silas wasn’t one that she was warned about. Will these two get the chance to write a beautiful love song everyone wants to hear, or will the lyrics be full of fire and hate, follow their journey through the flames of their relationship and what happens when the sirens go off.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

I picked this book up on a whim while it was free, then it just sat there. I was scrolling through my kindle trying to find something that caught my eye and thought, “why not” and gave it a try. I am now kicking myself for not picking this up sooner. Holy H E double hockey sticks! The way these two meet is may have been fate or purely by chance. But whatever you believe, believe it because these two were meant to meet. She tries to hide who she really is but with Shade being a cop from Chicago, he knows exactly who she is.

These two are from two completely different worlds. Cops and Mobs just don’t mix. She is used to the finer things and he is used to working for them. He agrees to take her to Texas, however, he plans to ditch her the next morning before she wakes. She is smarter than our good friend Shade and slept in the car! Ha! They come to an agreement and she is part of the roadtrip for the long haul. There are a ton of hilarious moments throughout. The fact that she had never been in a Walmart or just a regular bar will have you literally laughing out loud. But also watching their romance bloom is absolutely swoon-worthy!  She even gets to meet the fam!

Never fear, there will be an appearance from the ex-fiance’ mob douche guy. But as this is a standalone romance, we can all figure out what happens. But the journey there, in the antique Cadillac, with a runaway bride and a cowboy, will have you feeling ALL the feels!

I couldn’t put this book down. I started it reading it and next thing I knew, it was over, like no time had passed at all!  It had all the desirable elements and ended perfectly!

This is a new to me author and I am so happy I took a chance. I look forward to reading more by this author.

#review #partofaseries Asher (Station 47 4) by KL Myers and Tina Reber

Leave a comment

My fellow firefighters call me an adrenaline junkie because I thrive on running into a burning building.

The ladies call me Mr. Hit It and Quit It, since that’s all I have the heart for, but that doesn’t stop them from trying.

Everything changes with one 911 call. One look at her and I am obsessed—Sienna Tatum is the only woman I can’t walk away from.

When danger takes her away from me, there’s only one person to call, someone I swore I’d never speak to again—my twin Zip, the V.P. of the Hells Guardians M.C.

I don’t have a dark side like my brother, but I’ll do whatever it takes. I’ll burn the world down to save her.

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

Paged out for another crazy call propane tanks, fireworks, lots of possible explosives at a local market. Asher and the rest of station 47 are on the scene and when Asher and Hawk find a woman under some flower crates she was alive but her PTSD from her past is hitting full force. Sienna was running from her past trying to hide from her abusive ex even though he’s in jail, she’s still afraid he’s going to find her and kill her. she was giving a fresh start from a local woman who had been in her shoes at one point in her life and wanted to help Sienna get back on her feet. Now she’s being saved by Asher and Hawk and her flashbacks are overwhelming her. Can she overcome her past without giving away her truth, it one door closed but not forever type of life for her and its frighting. Between these two with Ashers past battles with his time in the military, and Sienna’s past with her ex will they be the key to help comfort the other and help overcome the trauma from the past that still haunts them. For me this was a bit slower pace and between the flashbacks and the present it got a little jumbled where I had to go back to be like oh this was in the past, but it was still a great read.

K.L. Myers was born in West Berlin, Germany, the daughter of a military father. She then spent her childhood moving from continent to continent, finally landing permanently in Colorado when her father retired. Eventually, she moved to “hell,” aka Arizona, where she resides with her husband & their fur babies. She has two daughters & four grandchildren, and she believes in living every day to the fullest. K.L. has a passion for reading and writing hot romance when she is not juggling family & a full-time job. Her novels show a pension for a bad boy with a heart of gold and strong, independent women who don’t need rescuing, and just a taste of naughty redemption! Her characters will pull you in & leave you satiated, yet panting for more, More, MORE!

#Review – What a Dragon Loves (Star of The North Dragons) Book 4 by Ava Cuvay

Leave a comment


Arkyn Drekison is the alpha-heir of his Minnesota family’s dragon shifter clan. Always at the front, in the know, and ahead of the curve. But his younger brothers have all found love and, for the first time in his life, he’s… left behind. He can’t fall for just anyone. He needs a dependable, feisty, steadfast shield maiden to love: a fellow shifter who can help lead his clan and mesh with the many strong personalities within his family. So why is he utterly captivated by a woman who is anything but? She’s human, delicate, spacey, and far more comfortable with babies and pets than anyone old enough to make conversation. Yet there’s something about her that entices his dragon and makes his earth power rumble with desire.

Amalthea Payne is a chaotic hot mess on a good day, always saying the wrong thing, easily distracted, and, well… just plain weird. She’s unintentionally high-maintenance, and no one—friends and lovers, alike—needs the kind of bizarre she brings to the table. So she’s a loner, which is probably for the best, because the mayhem churning deep in her soul is growing stronger, threatening to suck her into a void of her own insanity. Yet when she helps the tall, blond, and gorgeous flannel-wearing-Thor-wannabee rescue a kitten, there’s something about him that soothes her savage beast. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

This novella is the fourth book of the Star of the North Dragon series, which can be read in any order or as standalone novellas.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Opposites attract in the craziest of ways, via the cat distribution system!

I started laughing almost immediately! Arkyn is the oldest and always in charge. Very organized with a plan. Until the cat distribution system interrupted his life and introduced him to Ama, a chaos tornado stuffed in a  hurricane of crazy and wrapped with a blizzard of mayhem. Arkyn already has his hands full and can’t understand why he is drawn to her crazy. Ama is NOTHING like what he thinks he needs in a woman. In true Drekison fashion, the family slowly but surely opens Arkyn’s eyes so that he should listen to his heart, and not his head. Ama can’t explain the pull she has to Arkyn and surely doesn’t understand the calmness she feels around him.

“He gazed at her like she was some riddle he couldn’t solve. Good luck to him; she couldn’t solve that riddle either.”

Being part of their journey and watching them grow together was insanely funny but also had super melty heart moments that made me swoon, and perhaps switch my crush from Ulrik to Arkyn (wags eyebrows). I normally wouldn’t say that the last book in a series is my favorite, but honestly, this really is my favorite!

The complete series is now available!

Deep in the sticks of Missouri is a bar called Rocks where the bartenders are only similar in the fact that they’re all unlucky in love…

Worse, he left his high school girlfriend, Cherry Moss, without saying goodbye when he disappeared. When Dylan shows back up in town, clearly changed in the past ten years, Cherry needs to decide if his story is worth her forgiveness and if she can get over her own demons about him leaving.

Blue Balls – Piper Peck loves her life, her friends, and her job. There’s only one problem. The local sheriff, Creed McDuffy, has it in for her over her grandma’s old hot tub that’s considered an eyesore by county enforcement. Unknown to Piper, Creed has had a crush on her since high school and will do anything to get her to look his way. When Creed goes too far and arrests Piper in a last-ditch effort to get her attention, can he ever grovel enough to get in her good graces?

Pistol Fire – Libby Dean is known for being the town pistol. Brock Carpenter is known for being the town’s hero fireman.

***Review for Blue Balls***

OMG! This story had me feel ALL THE FEELS! For a short story, Piper’s story had me laugh at times and almost in tears at others! AND I’M NOT A CRIER! Whoa!

Piper has a lot going on in her life. She is taking care of her grandmother as best she can, prioritizing bills the best she can, and dealing with city giving threats of more fines and liens on the house for not moving the ancient hot tub from the front yard. Just read it, it will tear your heart up! The one thing she doesn’t need is Sheriff Creed McDuffy “talking” to her about her problem while she is at work. She has had enough and blows up. But what does he do? Arrests her!

I spent half the time yelling WTF, the other half trying not to cry, and the other half swooning. I know I know, there are three halves here. Trust me, girl math, this makes sense!

This was my favorite out of the three Rocks books. Bravo!

#Review – What a Dragon Desires (Star of the North Dragons) Book 3 by Ava Cuvay

Leave a comment

Ulrik Drekison serves comfortably at the right hand of his oldest brother. As a Wood Dragon shifter, he is the peacekeeper, serene as the forests surrounding his Minnesota home. When a deadly pest invasion threatens the future of his family’s logging company and the entire state’s economy, he’s primed to battle the infestation but ill-equipped to combat his attraction to the voluptuous woman sent by an opposing company. Unaffected by his Viking good looks and his innate dragon sensuality, she trashes his calm at every turn. Yet, as antagonistic as she is, he can’t seem to walk away from her.

Eydís Helvig was born a dragon shifter… without a dragon. As an apex predator with no beast to back up her brazen attitude, her own clan rejects her and humans barely tolerate her. When she’s tasked to diffuse a small family logging company’s outcry about a bug crisis, she is inexorably drawn by the Drekison’s innate power and integrity, especially the hostile yet passionate brother, Ulrik. She yearns to set down roots she’s never had. But like everyone else, Ulrik and his family won’t want her, especially after her employer’s secret is exposed.

This novella is the third in the Star of the North Dragon series, which can be read in any order or as standalone novellas.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Oh, Baby Girl! Ulrik and his Viking good looks will never live this down!

I was pulled in right from the very beginning and couldn’t put this one down.

Eydis comes in like a wrecking ball with the intention of putting a hurtin’ on the Drekison’s logging company, but the only hurtin’ she does is to herself. She has become a force to be reckoned with in the industry and is cutthroat. What she didn’t plan on was falling for the Viking in sweats that say “Baby Girl” on the butt! You are going to have to read this one to know more about the sweats. I promise, you won’t be disappointed. After that awkward meeting, they continue clashing together. Neither of them can keep their hands to themselves but she continues to pull away. Both are going utterly insane! She definitely has some issues, but who better to work through those issues with than Ulrik? He’s gorgeous, funny, strong, and has a big heart (I may or may not have a little crush on Ulrik).

Ulrik is always second in command but always there to help in any way he is able. Eydis was dealt an incredibly horrible hand in life and she uses that to make her cold and hard. Both Ulrik and Eydis have a tough exterior but find that together, they are all mushy and stuff (I say that with the utmost love for these two). The push and pull between Ulrik and Eydis is very, very…did I say VERY? INTENSE!

Their secrets are related more closely than they could ever imagine. When they finally collide, fireworks explode! Thes two were made for each other!

***Review is for Cherry Burn***

Cherry and Dylan were high school sweethearts 10 years ago. Dylan did the unthinkable. He took Cherry’s virginity and then was abducted by aliens the next day! 10 years later he pops back up and wants to give Cherry an explanation. But a lot has happened to Cherry over these 10 years and she has become cold toward men. She has responsibilities and she doesn’t think Dylan deserves the time of day.

Dylan has had enough and won’t take no for an answer. He finally gets to give his explanation. While it wasn’t as explosive as I thought it would be, it was different.

Next comes the inner turmoil of these two before they can finally get through their own crap to realize they are in love. Their long lost love is super sweet and hawt!

This was a great quickie read with some laughs, witty comments, sweet and swoony, with the mouth of a sailor… this is it!

Leave a comment

ONE VAMPIRE KING WANTED FOR HIS POWER

I am one of the three oldest vampires on earth. When I learn my people are disappearing from the black mountain pack territory, it’s time to visit. It’s supposed to be a simple trip until Fate decides I’m finally worthy of a mate. Only the power hungry female I left in charge of my nest will do anything to get what she wants, even destroy what fate has given me.

ONE LYNX SHIFTER STANDING IN THE WAY

Life was perfect until fate decided to meddle. A good job, a stable home, and my precious cubs leave no room for a man or a mate. However, things take a sharp turn when the bar I manage is blown up and rogue wolves come hunting my twins. To make matters worse, my unwanted mate’s vampire ho thinks taking me hostage will force him to his knees. Underestimating a mother’s drive to protect her children might be the last mistake she ever makes…

Review by Twinsie Kelly

DRAVEN!!!! I couldn’t wait for this book and I was not disappointed!!!

While reading the Black Mountain Pack series, I was always intrigued with Marla, and while reading this book, I totally understand why. She is a hardheaded, say it like it is, take no crap momma! And what does someone like this need? The sinful patience of her mate. The strong mate that would burn the world to the ground for the woman he loves but also knows when to stop and hold her while she lets her crazy come out. D.R.A.V.E.N.

Things are going wrong all over the place. Draven finds that there is trouble at the local nest and there are sickly rogue shifters staying with the pack and asking about the kids Marla has taken in as her own. And the cherry on top is the bar has been targeted. Needless to say, everyone is on edge. Even with everything so unsettled, Marla is fighting the mating urge with everything that she has. And the shhhh that is about to go down! All the things that Marla and Draven have to go through will infuriate you AND pull at your heart strings.

This is definitely a page turner. There is so much going on and so many different worlds colliding that you can’t help but continue turning the pages to find out what happens next. Draven and Marla both get to see a side of the other that they had no clue about. No one knows why the fates chose to mate a vampire and a shifter, and we may never find out. However, the fates chose wisely for them. These two are the perfect match. Everything about each of them contradicts mating but they were definitely made for each other.  A MUST READ!
