#ReleaseDay #Review #TwinsieForTheDay – The Huntress by Kristen Hope Mazzola and Dawn Robertson

The Huntress

synopsis

I am not a good person. In fact, I am the worst of the worst. I was dragged down into the gutter and have thrived in this seedy underbelly where I was recreated. Reborn as Eleanor McGuire, socialite and Professional Hitman. The filthiest, dirtiest, high profile pieces of shit, I end them. I am a huntress. Corrupt men are my prey.

Dawn and Kristen want to warn you: this is not for the faint of heart! But if gore, violence, and extreme sexual situation are your cup of tea, this is the read for you.

Twinsie for the Day

Review by Jordan

I was gifted a copy.

The Huntress was not what I was expecting but I couldn’t tear myself away. I expected a romance was going to blossom but instead there was death and betrayal. I was on edge the whole time waiting to see who would do what next. The suspense of Ellie’s double life is what made this book what it is. I’m intrigued to see what these ladies will come up with in the next book.

Received a copy for a honest review

Ok, so this is Mrs. Teresa Gabelman’s contribution to the Taming the Vampire box set, one of 25 books by some fabulous authors, out just in time for Halloween.

This book is about Maverick, a vampire and Becky, a human. Once upon a time Maverick was human and they were in love, but Maverick was turned and pushed her away to keep her safe.
First let me say that Maverick being a Vamp doesn’t change the fact that he’s a dude and dudes think they know what’s best when it comes to the safety of the women they love.
Second, hello another group of sexy vamps from one of queens of sexy vampires.
Maverick, once human now vampire, is a part of the Enforcers. If Gabelman’s vampires were law enforcement the VC Warriors would be the Feds and the Enforcers the local law enforcement. They are after a certain group of vamps and Becky just happens to be caught in the middle.
The action starts right off the bat, I love the reactions that Becky and Maverick have to each other after the time they’ve been apart. The way they feel about each, like in real life, hasn’t changed due to time and circumstance.
The new vampires are funny as heck, they protect the good guys, and love hard. I for one have my fingers crossed for more of the Enforcers, whether they are on their own or intergraded in with the Protectors, hint hint!! . Oh, and Becky by the way kicks ass, literally!!! Love a strong woman who knows what and who she wants.
When men, be they human or vampire, realize that no matter what happens to you a woman who loves you will always love you, magic happens.

The Enforcer by Teresa Gabelman

 

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

Oh Teresa you and your vampires….I mean you know I love me some VC Warrior Jared in The Protectors series but these new guys…Can I get a hells YES to them!!  OMG!!  I am thinking ol’ Dusty may be my new baby daddy in this series too!!!

SO this is a new series by one of my favorite paranormal writers.  If you love her other series, you are going to need to jump into this series as well.  The Enforcers are tough, big and uber alpha plus super funny. Maverick has loved Becky forever but he disappeared due to being changed.  When he sees her with the bad guy he and his Enforcer friends have to figure out her connection to James.

Becky is still not over Maverick.  He left her and she has no clue why.  When she is forced to spend time with him to protect her from some bad people, she has to deal with her heart falling all over him again and the devastation she will feel when he leaves.

This story is a GREAT into the new vampire series.  I can’t wait for more!!

Melinda's Review

Teresa Gabelman – The Enforcer

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

I love Teresa Gabelman’s Protector’s and even her Lee County Wolves but there Enforcers are going to be some competition. Although Maverick was great I’m thinking Dusty is going to the top of my list.

This is about Maverick who was absolutely in love with Becky. Until one night his life changes and he disappears from Becky’s life. She is heartbroken for months. You see Maverick was changed in to a vampire and he decided his life was too dangerous for his Becky. He though the only way to protect her from him and his new life was to leave her. Until one night she is tossed into his world and planted right in front of him. Now he has no choice but to protect her and keep her safe.

Becky will have to endure his presents and deal with the heart break all over again when he leaves her again because she knows it will be coming.

What a great series I loved Becky’s sass, stubbornness, and fight. She is a strong female that can stand on her own feet and stand up to big bad vampires. The vampires are wonderful too and I cannot wait to get to know then better.

REVIEW

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

I enjoyed this series the insta-love and suspense was perfect. This was a quick read but was not short on anything else. I didn’t want to put is down until the last word was read and even wanted more.

Carissa’s parents were over protective of her even sent her to an all-girls school in Europe. When she came home to visit they had signed her up for a bachelorette auction which they prechoose the man that would take her on a date. Only problem is they didn’t anticipate Vaughn to spoil their plan.

Vaughn has been after the head of a human trafficker and it landed him at a charity auction. He saw Carissa and outbid the man he was keeping his eye on. He bid on her to save her only now he is in jeopardy of losing his soul to her.

I enjoy an insta-love story every once in a while and this one hit the spot. Carissa was shy and inexperienced but Vaughn was good with her didn’t push her into something she wasn’t ready for. I wanted to head slap Carissa’s dad I mean really who does that.  I enjoyed the epilogue seeing what happens to them both was superb. All the books in the Body & Soul series have been a quick read but pack full of suspense, sexual tension and insta-love. I loved getting to know these hot alpha military males and feisty females.

EXCERPT
Approaching and observing an enemy who was always surrounded by other people who were in the limelight—each with their own security detail—required a shit ton of finesse. Utilizing long-distance observation equipment only got me so far with Alexander Bellamy. I needed a valid reason for a closer approach, and I was determined to find it at this damn party. Almost two hours into it, and I still hadn’t managed to get within spitting distance. But from the way his attention suddenly shifted towards the stage when they announced the next socialite up for bidding, I had a feeling I might have found a way to catch his interest.
Switching my focus in the same direction, I quickly understood his fascination. The girl on the stage was hot, no doubt about it. The innocence shining from her eyes and the blush on her cheeks was an intriguing contradiction to the lushness of her lips and the curves outlined by her tight, black lace dress. When the woman at the microphone who was running the auction circled her finger at her and the girl swiveled on her black stilettos, I felt like I’d been punched in the solar plexus. My breath caught in my lungs at the sight of her bare back. All those inches of skin revealed as the dress dipped down to just above the cheeks of her ass—I didn’t want anyone else to enjoy the sight but me.
The sound of my target’s voice ringing out with the highest bid of the night filled me with horror as I pictured the beauty on the stage ending up dead like the girl in the alley. There was no way in hell I was going to let him get his hands on her and destroy the innocence shining from her eyes. I’d kill him before that happened—but I’d much prefer that waited until I confirmed there wasn’t anyone higher up in the trafficking ring than him. Until then, I just had to figure out a way to keep her out of Bellamy’s orbit. Starting with outbidding him for the date with her he was about to win. Lucky for me, wiping scum of the face of the planet paid well.
“A quarter of a million dollars.”
Very well, judging by the crowd’s gasp and the stunned look of surprise on the girl’s face. Strategically, it was either brilliant or the stupidest decision I’d ever made. But it was a go big or go home moment. Bellamy had deep pockets, and I didn’t want to waste time dicking around with outbidding each other. Making a statement, in a big way, was the most efficient route to avoiding all the back and forth. It also achieved two goals—it garnered me a date with the gorgeous girl on stage and ensured I ended up on Bellamy’s radar. If I’d read his interest right, my prey might very well end up coming to me.
I practically felt the death glare he was sending my way, and I couldn’t resist swiveling my head and flashing him a smug grin as the auctioneer counted down.
“Two hundred fifty thousand, going once. Two hundred fifty thousand, going twice. Sold!”
Bellamy’s eyes narrowed, promising retribution from me for stealing away his prize. My smile widened because I was pleased as fuck about my upcoming date—and because I knew it would piss Bellamy off even more. Reluctantly, I tore my gaze away from his and headed towards the stage, but all of my reluctance was swept away the moment I was looking at her again.

He’s won the hearts of millions. But is he willing to lose his?

Focused on his goal, Matt is steadfast, ruthless, and disarming. All eyes are on him and his popularity is surging. But soon, the next possible president of the United States is possessing me in more ways than one—and despite the risks, I’m helpless to resist.

We’re stealing touches, stealing moments, and stealing away at night. But our chemical connection is quickly becoming dangerously combustive, putting not only my heart, but Matt’s chance at the presidency on the line.

Winning will take everything. Walking away will be the hardest thing of all.

#Promo – DEFYING HER MAFIOSO by Terri Anne Browning

Defying Her Mafioso (The Vitucci Mafiosos, #1)

synopsis

Ciro Donati was many things:
My father’s most valued and trusted soldier.
My brother’s best friend and second in command.
And the only man I would give up everything for.

I fell hard for the Mafioso at the tender age of eleven. This beast of a man who I knew made people disappear—and probably enjoyed every second of it—was also the sixteen-year-old boy who had picked me up after I’d fallen flat on my face during my dance recital and told me I was the best ballerina he’d ever seen. He’s watched over me, protected me like I was the most precious thing in the world to him.

And then he sent me away.

Scarlett Vitucci was many things:
The daughter of the biggest Cosa Nostra boss from New York to Chicago.
The sister of the man I would gladly take a bullet for.
And the only woman I would ever love.

Sending her away was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I didn’t deserve her or her love. For three years I stayed away, ignoring the gnawing ache that her absence left in my chest. Now, she was back and fighting what I felt for her was impossible. Letting her go had been a huge mistake.

One I would never repeat.

They lined up, pawing at me. All of them wanting to be part of the bad boy prestige that was Miller Hawes.

Then they flipped the river…

And she was mine. Sexy, compelling and the first woman who didn’t fall at my feet. Why can’t I get her out of my head?

I need to focus on taking over the family business. Except all my attention is on one thing and one thing only.

Melinda's Review

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

I knew Miller was going to be great after Reading Ashton’s book. He was always giving his brother a hard time. I knew it was only a matter of time before the tables would be turned. Miller was about to have his life shaken up when he finally meet his match and boy was Tess definitely that.

Miller was a playboy that could have whatever woman he wanted and had a different one every night. His dad was going to turn the family business over to him someday but his dad didn’t think he was quite ready with all his shenanigans. One night at his poker tournament he won a little more than he bargained for that night because he won Theresa for the night.

Theresa was not one to roll over and take things. She was strong willed and a fighter that would put Miller in his place. Theresa had a rough life and only ever wanted to be loved and accepted but for some reason always ended up being used and taken for granite.

I absolutely loved the first time she meet Ashton and allowed him to call her Tess but never gave that option to Miller. When she meet his parents for the first time my heart went out to her and I wanted to head slap Miller. Miller did what he thought was right but it never seemed to goes as he planned or thought. *shakes head* Miller has never been in a relationship and could have taken some pointers from Ashton. Miller should have taken some cooking lessons from him too.  The breakfast scene was great.

I am enjoying this series and it looks like Dean is next. I am so ready to get to know him.

Author: Deanndra Hall
Release Date: October 25, 2016

blurb

55M years of resolve. And only one man can break it.

Fifty-five million years. In that length of time, you’d think Esther Summers could’ve found a man.

Thing is, she didn’t want to die.

But once she’s confronted with a danger that she had almost forgotten about, it will take every resource she has to keep herself from being ended. Her wits. Her powers. Her talents. Her circle of witch friends.

And one hotter-than-sin heat and air guy, Alan Hamlet. No HVAC unit on the planet could cool off the fire he lights inside her.

In all her years of survival in Earth’s dimension, Ez never factored in the desire she’d have for Alan, or the idea that any human could get that close to her. But Alan throws every switch in her sex-starved body and love-starved heart. Worse yet, every time she turns around, there he is, acting as her protector, as if that’s his job.

As if he knows.

Laid Bare, the first book in the Witch of Endor series, turns Ez’s world upside down and wrong side out. She wants Alan. But is she dying to have him?

#Review #Twinsiefortheday – Somewhere to Begin (Poison & Wine series #1) by Mika Jolie

29433232

synopsis

There are wounds that never show on the body.

For twenty-nine years, Colbie Bennington does as expected with an eternal smile stained on her lips. The biggest chances she’s ever taken can be counted on one hand, three fingers to be exact—her battered red chucks, painting her toenails a vibrant blue, and her wedding dress. Always the dutiful daughter and a Stepford fiancée, she has never acted on impulse, never been in love.

She’s never lived.

On her wedding day, Colbie ends a toxic relationship, drops the fake smile, and says, “I can’t do this anymore.”

Navy SEAL Zander Serrano returns home broken and burdened with a volcano of remorse. Too trapped in a mental war to be at peace and too damaged to be at war, he shuts the world out. The last thing he expects is to feel, especially for a runaway bride with her own baggage.

Two empty hearts marred in different spots find themselves drawn to one another. Each with their own scars. Some, the world can see. Others, unseen to the naked eye.

They say two broken people should not be together. But for Colbie and Zander, their attraction is undeniable, unexpected.

Can two souls with fractured parts be the best cure for each other’s wounds?

Starting over is never easy, but sometimes in life, everyone needs somewhere to begin.

Twinsie for the DayReview by: Becky

I chose this book simply by the cover. No it wasn’t a half-naked man….drool….  It was the back of a run-a-way bride.  Some serious shit must have happened and my curiosity was piqued.
The book starts with very vivid account of Zander and his last tour in Afghanistan. What these men and women have seen and had to do is nothing short of heroic and commendable.  The last tour which was what ended Zander’s military career leaving him dealing with the loss of all but one of his buddies and the loss of one of his legs.  Zander struggles with PTSD and pushes family and friends away.
Colbie is in her wedding dress.  She comes from money and is marrying money. Her husband to be is abusive.  Colbie is a shell of the person she wants to be.  So not to disappoint others, Colbie walks down the isle and just at the nick of time she stands up for herself and runs from the church.
Zander and Colbie’s lives crash into each other.   Both have baggage from their past molding their attitudes and behaviors.  The story line is awesome. It brings you along their journey from broken with baggage and alone to restored pieces with baggage and together.
Never fear, the challenges they face are daunting and the appearance of Colbie’s ex adds suspense.  No relationship is ever easy or without baggage.  It’s all in how you help your significant other carry theirs while they help you carry yours.

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

Mason, Mason, Mason!!  WOW What a DOUCHE you can be!!  I mean we got a glimpse of it during Zach’s book but man o man can you hurt a woman!!  Valentine’s Day ….REALLY!!!!?????  *sigh*

This book is a cross over from book 1 in scenes so if you haven’t read book 1 you can totally read this and understand what happened in book 1.  It also didn’t make me annoyed at the overlay from the previous book like some books can because we are getting a new view of the story.

So Shondra and Mason end up sitting by each other on the plane to their vacation.  They have an instant love-hate kinda thing that turns into a fun fling.  Mason is up front that one night is all he is going to give and Shondra is ok….at first.  As the vacation goes we can see Mason warring with himself over his attraction and need for Shondra but his past prevents him from trying to move forward with her  His past has him in cement boots.

Shondra is one of the most amazing characters you can read.  She is funny, independent and kind but she is so lonely.  She is in need of a one true love to be with her and stay with her.  She has never been had anyone to love her unconditionally except her best friend Erica.

This book has me so angry at Mason and wanting to hire his brother Dane to castrate him.  It also made me want to push Shondra to Dane because is a great guy.  He is a guy who could love her and be the one but we all know …the heart wants what the heart wants and Shondra’s heart wants Mason.  When Shondra has had enough and walks away, it killed me and her but when Mason realized his girl was gone……Oh man did I love how she has found her spirt again to put him in his place!!!

The mystery in this book was great.  The twists and turn combined with the drama from book 1 had you wondering when the bullets would stop flying.  When it all shook out in the end and we see and find out WHY everything was happening I realized I could finally BREATH for a second!!    I loved this book and prolly a little bit more then book 1 because the emotional torture Mason puts us in is worth the ride…plus seeing him fall was even more worth it.
