Ethan has been my whole world for most of my life. From our childhood antics to our promise to love each other ‘til death do us part’. I’ve never known life without him— until now.

 
When the soldiers knocked on my door, my life forever changed. They stood there in their dress blues, and their words shattered my world.
 
Ten years have passed, and not much has changed. The pain is less, thanks to the gift Ethan left behind— our son. I’ve found happiness in the small things in life. Everything was good until Ethan’s best friend, Cooper, showed up.
 
They enlisted together, went to battle together, and then he disappeared. I haven’t heard from him in ten years. Why is he back now, and what does he want with me?

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

This is a story about a love triangle of sorts.  Ethan, Cooper, and Hope.  Ethan and Hope are the young couple who fall in love while Cooper watches from the sidelines.  Cooper would never do anything to ruin what his friends have but he loves her from the sideline. The three are always together.  Ethan and Hope get married while Cooper and Ethan leave for the military together.  As you can guess, Ethan doesn’t make it back leaving a devastated and guilty Cooper, a widowed Hope, and a son named Jake.

Hope and Jake had made a great life for themselves when Cooper enters their life.   He is guilty for still loving Hope and not being there for her and Jake all the years since Ethan’s death.  He is a mess but can’t not be near her.  We learn about his past and slowly he reveals what has happened to him since Ethan died.  We see the hurt, sadness, and guilt over Ethan’s death.

Slowly Hope and Cooper start to realize things between them is more then friends.  They have some emotional baggage to figure out and then tackle how Jake will feel about Uncle Cooper being a bit more than just an uncle.

The story was about a 2nd chance between these 2 old friends. Will the past allow them to move forward and will they take the chance their hearts want or will they continue to hide from the happiness that is right in front of their faces.

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

Ethan, Cooper, and Hope have been friends since they were little. Cooper has had a thing for Hope but Ethan and her struck up a relationship and Cooper would never hurt his friendships by breaking that apart. Hope’s life was changing quickly. Ethan and Cooper when off to the military. Ethan and Hope got married and were going to have a baby. This is when tragedy struck. Ethan was killed in action leaving behind a wife, child, and a best friend. Hope lost not only her husband but best friend also. Cooper is fighting demons from watching his best friend die and could not face Hope. Hope had to push though and raise her son, Jake.

Both have issues they have to overcome. Cooper is a very complicated person and confusing at times. He wants to stay in the background not to upset what Hope and Jake have going in their life. Then he wants to be in their life like he promised Ethan before he died. Cooper gets into his head and hurts Hope again by disappearing into the background again.

I liked seeing the scenes of Ethan, Cooper, and Hope growing up. I also enjoyed seeing Jake grow and finding similarities with Ethan.  This Second Chance story will take you on a journey of highs and lows.

Slade (The Protectors Series) Book #6 by [Teresa Gabelman, Hot Tree Editing]

Highly trained VC Warrior, Dr. Slade Buchanan’s, role between lifesaver and lifetaker has been a constant battle, but nothing prepared him for half-breed VC Warrior trainee, Jill Nichols. Slade realizes his struggles from the past were nothing compared to the difficulty of resisting the woman who could never belong to a man like him.

Being the only female VC Warrior recruit, Jill Nichols, has an uphill battle. Falling for the sexy doctor, Slade Buchanan, has not made the battle any easier, especially when he constantly reminds her and others there will never be anything between them. Working harder than any male recruit, obstacles are thrown in her path, and with each challenge, it becomes clear that the two things she wants most may never be.

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH *runs around the room* I love this woman!! I cannot get enough of her books. They are full of passion, humor (come on Sid is funny), whit, twisting plots and soooo much more. One thing I really love is that her storyline is always moving forward. We never have the same stale plot line or a recycling of boy meets girl love story. Each and every Warrior and their mate has had their own issues and drama to fact while dealing with whatever new bad guy they are trying to track down. I also love that with each book we still see a lot and keep up with the other Warriors and their mates……Cuz serioulsy I needs me some Jared time……*licks lips*

Ok so Slade aka Vampire Dr. Hottie Mc Hot Stuff has been lusting over our little half-breed Jilly Bean since he walked on to the set of the series. I mean, HELLO, IF I didnt love Jared like I do…….uhm yeah I would be a Slade girl!! ANYWAY, our girl Jill has been through the gamet of emotion. She got booted for being turned, she is the only female recuit in the Warrior program and she isnt really well liked by anyone outside of the Warriors compound. She sees and works with Slade but figures he would soooo not be interested in her when he can have awful but beautiful Alice. We see them fighting against everything to be together…each fighting this pull while EVERYONe else is about to kick their butts. ( OMG the bet scene when everyone pays up about the Slade/Jill will they/wont they relationship bet…I was in stiches!!!!) When they FINALLY get to “relating” to each other, I was so happy buuuuut Slade *shakes finger* was an EPIC DB and made me and Jill cry…..GROWL Warrior. NOT COOL!!!!

Slade and Jill have to deal with alot this book but the show down between Alice and Jill is EVERYTHING you wanted and then more!! Trust me. I totally re-read that scene!! I loved Jill from the start but each book she has proven to be such an amazing member of the team and I, along with Slade, were so proud of her!!!

This book was a great set up for the next book. I am really excited about everything. I wanna yell at Teresa though because I was crying at the last 20% of the book. She cannot ever do something like that to me again. It is a good thing I dont have her phone number or she would have gotten a snot sobbing call from me saying “WHY!!!!”

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

AHHHHHH OMG I sat and read this book in one afternoon. I was so dang excited to get this from Teresa, that when it came, I lost my ever loving mind. I stopped reading what I needed to read in order to read Adam.

When we last saw Adam, he was broken. His love Angel had met and married an older man who saved her from the traffickers. I mean how can she dump Adam like this. She KNEW he loved and cared for her yet she throws it all away for some other man who protected her?? GROWL!! Needless to say I am not a Angel fan. SO I was happy to see Adam decide to move on and let her go. His heart will always be hers but it is time to move on. I loved the person that Teresa sets Adam up with. It is a GREAT plot twist that I am not even gonna SAY or HINT too. You wanna know then people buy the book!! You aint getting a spoiler here…no way…no how.

So in other Warrior news, Jill is really mad about being seen naked by all the guys in the last book. She, Adam and Steve find out that they are under way to start “official” warrior training…cool right…wellllll maybe not so cool. They need a really high pass rating score to be a Warrior or they are booted from the program.
To make matters worse, Jill being a woman is a liability. Yeah Jill is not happy to hear that news. The new warrior in town also takes a shine to our Jilly-Bean much to the anger of our Dr. Hottie Slade.

Well the big plot in the book is Lana and her sister sending messaged from the grave to the Warriors. A big piece of news is passed to the guys from a bad person in their past warning of a new threat/war brewing. It will pit humans vs. vampires. This new bad person is a great set up for the next book…I can’t wait…..soooo Teresa we will be getting that like tomorrow right!!??

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

Alright if you read my reviews you know I like to ramble. I gotta start this review with a quick ramble. If you dont wanna read it then skip down to the next paragraph but if you do, then awesome and continue. OK Here goes my ramble….When I started reading I was a HUGE paranormal girl. I had 3 Vampire series that I would read and had on autobuy. Well one of the series fell apart which made me sad but the other 2 have stayed strong. SO I feel I am kinda critical of my first love: Vampire Paranormal. With that being said, I am over the moon excited by meeting the author of this series. It was at an indie author covention. We chatted briefly and I was stoked she sent me a book to review. I drank this series DOWN. I mean I am a HUGE, Gigantic fan of this series. Like I previously said, I am kinda critical of vampire series because the 2 I still read religiously are GOOD but this series is AMAZING!! I love the world, I love the characters. I just freaking LOVE IT!!!!

Ok so if you skipped the previous paragraph you are wanting to know about this book. If you read my ramble and gushing you REALLY wanna know about this book right??? So this is Sid’s book. Sid the smartass. Sid the jackass. Sid the player!! Well Sid meets his match in a feisty local cop named Lana. I have got to tell you I have loved each Warriors woman but Lana really got me from the go. I loved her spirit and she certainly gave Sidilious a hard time throughout the book. They have great chemistry and banter. I love character banter whether between love interests or just family dynamics. If you read this series you will appreciate how much laughing I did because Sid is a RIOT!! The one liners between him and Lana or him and the Warriors were spot on. My husband looked at me like I was nuts cracking up. He was like “your reading a vampire book and not a comedy?” I loved finally seeing the “private” side to Sid. His lack of family and the way Lana’s family adopted him….priceless. When he tells her he loves her and you know he has NEVER has someone to call HIS, made me tear up….huge crocodile tears people.

The side story of Dr. Hottie Mc Hott Stuff AKA Slade and Jill….Holy heck. I am dying. I mean WOW!! I cannot wait for their book and I swear to all that is holy it better be next because I cannot take any more waiting!! I NEED THEIR STORY LIKE TOMORROW!!! OMG and Adam and his search for his girl….breaking my heart already!!!! I mean to have your girl “sold” into a trafficking organization……pit of my stomach for him…….

The villains of this story. WOW! Teresa does a great job creating ‘bad guys” or people you hate. OMG Alice I wanna kick her in the ovaries!! And a certain bad guy is revealed and I remember saying “Shut the front door!! No WAY!!! ” Also the bad guys and their hold over Lana….ugh stressed out!!! Like I said, she can create some seriously bad bad guys!!!

Ok so I hope that my ramble and gushing over this series has made you wanna one click the book already!! Because if you like Vampire or even paranormal this is an amzing series for you!!!

✯ ☆҉‿➹⁀☆҉☆Meet Your Next Book Boyfriend✯☆҉‿➹⁀☆҉☆.
Duncan (The Protectors) Book 3:
Leader of the VC Warriors Cincinnati branch, Duncan Roark, has devoted his long life to the Warriors he calls brothers and the Vampire Council, protecting innocents of both the vampire and human race. Things change suddenly when it is ordered that he and his fellow Warriors train human Social Workers to protect themselves in their new world of vampires. Falling in love with a human was something Duncan never thought possible, but love her he did. Now instead of being the ruthless leader he was trained to be, his focus has turned to finding the woman he loved and let go.
Pam Braxton is outgoing and loves her job working with children, but when she realizes her live in boyfriend, Kenny Lawrence, has been using her and her job for his illegal activities, she becomes withdrawn, and her world is turned upside down. Deciding to take matters into her own hands, she stays, trying to learn more of his betrayal so she could see him punished. That decision sucks her deeper into a relationship that has turned dangerous and abusive. Overhearing a plot that would put everyone she cares about at risk, she finds the courage to try to stop the monster who has threatened her friends and the man she truly loves. Now Pam is on the run, alone and with a secret that could change the already unbalanced world of vampires and humans.
As Duncan searches for Pam, the threat of losing his leadership role has the other Warriors worried, but their loyalty for Duncan is strong and they stand behind him. Duncan’s search is relentless; he knows he is not the only one looking for Pam. Even with his responsibilities slipping, he puts it all on the line to find the only woman he has ever loved. In a race against time, Duncan fights to find Pam before her past catches up to her. The Warrior’s path is clear: Find the woman he loves before the past finds her first.

Goodread

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

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO WAIT!!! I AM SOOO NOT A PATIENT READER!! I WANT MORE LIKE NOOOOOOOW!

Ok so do you get the feeling I liked…er…scratch that…I LOVED this series? Well Good cuz I did. This book was an awesome addition to the series. It is Duncan’s story but it is also setting up for Sid’s book AND Slade’s (excuse me while I wipe my drool) future book.

So this story is a continuation of Book 2. Pam is missing and Duncan is lost…and a walking dead man *giggles at my pun* with out this woman. He has loved her for so long and feels awful for what he presumes she has gone through with the Ex-Kenny. When Pam finally shows up, we find out EXACTLY what Kenny was doing and boy oh boy was it a great shocker. I loved how totally out of character Duncan is whenever pam is around. This tough as, hard as nails, VC Warrior boss is a pile of mush at this woman…this half breed vampire. I loved that the minute he sees her he tells her straight up “You are mine and I will never leave you again.” Be still my beating heart. Well Pam has some big secrets that she spills to the guys about what Kenny has been up to. Now we see Kenny and boy oh boy is is a DB!!! Man, what a great BAD GUY!!!

I loved this book and how patient Duncan is with Pam and builds her shattered trust. He uses words but mainly his actions are the biggest assest in winning his girl….SWOOD and double THUD!!

Well lets get back to DB Kenny ok??? He has a traitor in the VC Warrior compound and they stir the pot and cause drama for MY WARRIOR Jared and his woman…GROWL!!!

Also poor half breed Jill has alot of reading time in this novel. She is such a sweetie and I love where I see her going in the series. She has been through so much but we never got to ‘see” her until this book. She prooves herself to be a great friend AND possible love interest?? HRMMMMM

Slade…again wipes the drool…do I need to say more….hot ,smart and alpha…donezo…check please!!! LOL

Like I said before, this book has alot going on and it sets up for a great story line/plot for the next book. Human trafficking of human girls………so if you like Vampires, and you like alpha males and you like a great story with twists and turns….you will not be let down!!!

Being a retired military man and owner of my own security company made moving back home to help my dad an easy decision. He’s always been there for me, so I’d drop anything to be there for him. When my new superstar client needs to hide away from the paparazzi, I figure Mason Creek is the perfect place for her to lay low. Too bad that while I was protecting her, I wasn’t protecting my heart.

Melody was the newest country singer on the road and one night after a show she was getting dressed when a stalker barged in to her dress room and didn’t care how many lines he was crossing. It was then that her manager decided she needed a break and a safe hideaway til the crazy calmed down and he knew right where she needed to go Mason Creek where an amazing security team was located. Well it was being moved there but the owner was there and he was the best former military in the business. Enzo loved his job he had high profile clients all over and starting his business in California was the reasoning for that, so when he got a call from a friend that a country star needed a place to hide out that be safe he knew he was ready for that job. But when these two are together all day every day while Melody was out of Nashville and living under his roof, will they be able to keep it business casual or will feelings start to conjure up for them.

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

I am in LOVE!!! Let me repeat this…I am in LOVE!!!! I am a huge Paranormal Vamp lover and this series is everything I want/need. The guys are alpha in a bug way. The girls are feisty. The bad guys are bad. The plot twists are TWISTED.

I met Jared in Damons book and instant *Swooning* happened. Don;t get me wrong i loved Damon but something about cocky, arrogant, flirty, teasing, all around good guy Jared made my hear kinda beat a but faster.

So this book starts with Jared questioning a bad guy from book 1. When outta nowhere a fiery redhead and her brother break into the WARRIOR COMPOUND, tie him up and take his prisoner. Jared is instantly attracted to the girl. They track her and her HALF-BREED bother down…yes people this is a new development for the Warriors that someone is MAKING half breeds…..and take back the prisoner. Well the half-breeds and the Warrios begin to work together. Jared finds himself watching the redhead because she gives him back all the crap and attitude he throw at everyone else and he LIKES IT!!! The couple begin to admit their feelings and fears over being in a relationship because he has NEVER been in one and she has had nothing but terrible ones. I loved how open Jared was and how he would accept her challenging him. Her challenges often opened his eyes to so situations that were so new to him….like feeding from an ex-bootie call…not a good decision Jared…….

If you enjoyed the first book of the series , I gotta tell you this one is way better. The plot was thick and does an awesome job setting up for book 3. I am totally downloading it right this second to get it started. The bad guy was kinda shocker especially since you dont see it coming. The good guys are having some major betrayal and it is seriously undermining their abilities to work with the human police and instill faith in the human population.

Anyway, I loved this book and am sooo excited that I met this author. I just cant stop grinning about these books!!!! AMAZING!!!!

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

Wow, Ok so this book was a big departure from what we expect with this series.  I admit it started pretty dark and had dark themes through the first few chapters.  I admit I was a bit shocked the series went so dark because one of the things I love about this series is the light-hearted nature and love elements of it.  There are dark elements like when we deal with Lilly and the fighting Faelan and Rytsar had in Russia but this…this was a lot to take in.  So I guess be ready for dark and heavy in the first few chapters.

The rest of the book is dealing with the aftermath of the abuse and horror we witnessed in the beginning chapters.  I loved the way Sir helps Brie but also invites her friends to also help her recover from what happened.  I admit I am really hoping for what is to come with Mary and a possible story line.  I loved seeing Faelan again and healing himself.  Knowing how he and Thane are were plus the past with he and Brie added to the storyline.  Tono and Master Anderson are ALWAYS welcome especially seeing the story line ARC for Master Anderson and Shay.

I am curious what will happen in the next book for sure and to see what Asher has to say at the end of the book.

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

This was a bit rough for me in the beginning because it was a lot darker than anything I have read of Red’s. I enjoy the loving supporting family style I am used to with this series and the first few chapters was a bit of a shock.  As the story when one I started to enjoy where it was going.

Brie endured a lot in the beginning of the book. Sir and Brie’s friends and family do what they can to support her and help her overcome what happened.  We get to see most of the Doms and see how their skills help Brie.  I do love seeing all the characters and their families. Sir shows so much compassion and understanding throughout this story.  I liked that we got to see a lighter side of Sir when he and Master Anderson get together.  It makes my heart happy to see Faelan and how he is doing.

This story took me on a path I didn’t think I was ready for but to see how Brie was able to endure and overcome everything will everyone’s help was heartwarming.  No matter what horrors occur this family always supports and all end up stronger for it. They all truly join together to help each other out no matter who it is that needs help or what needs to do to help them through their ordeal. I am intrigued to see where the next story takes us.

#review #standalone #yathriller The Fear by Natasha Preston 

Leave a comment


Don’t be afraid. Be terrified.

It’s just a stupid meme that’s going around their small fishing town in the dead of winter—people reposting and sharing their biggest fear. But when her classmates start turning up dead—dying in the way that they said scared them the most—Izzy knows it’s no joke.

With each death hitting closer to home, Izzy sets out to try to stop the killer. Could her older sister’s friend Tristan have something to do with the deaths? He’s given her some strange vibes. Or what about his brooding cousin, Axel? But he’s in her classes at school. He’s not a murderer . . . is he? Izzie’s soon on a path that will lead her right to the killer . . . and her own worst nightmare.

Review by Twinsie Dee

I bought this book and this is my honest review

What is your greatest fear? Which way do you think is the worst way to die? When the newest meme is going around town and is being reposted by everyone with the worst way they think would die but they never figured that posting their fears would be used against them and be the actual way they would die. Izzy seemed to be the only one who didn’t repost he fear meme and the killer isnt going to let that slide. With 4 dead students and 1 that will never be found the killer isnt planning on slowing down anytime soon even with the cop of the killer’s heels. But who is this killer that is killing teens by their fear will they catch them before number 5 will be found your gonna want to find out for yourself but remember don’t let everyone know your greatest fear. Omg omg omg Natasha has done it again this is one of the best thrillers she’s written i ha no idea who the killer was until it was revealed and still I didn’t believe it. Natasha has a way of making you think that you know exactly who it is with all the clues pointing to one person and then completely turning it 180 and being someone else, its was amazing and i love when thrillers do that.
