Blood Bound (Blood Ravagers, #1)

Anna Frost had a bad feeling when her twin sister, Liz, told her she’d run off with a member of the notorious Otherworld biker gang, the Blood Ravagers. And her unease skyrockets when her sister subsequently vanishes. The police have no authority and little interest, so Anna decides to take matters into her own hands by infiltrating the group to discover for herself what happened to Liz, where she meets….

Dante, half demon, half human. A mix of two worlds, accepted by neither, he’s had no choice but to learn the hard way how to play whatever side of the fence kept him alive during his nearly 500 years of existence. Now, as second-in-command of the Blood Ravagers biker gang, his survival depends on keeping his humanity a secret. Dante’s ultimate goal is to fulfill the vows he made over two centuries ago to create a world where half-breeds can live in safety and equality.

But when sheltered schoolteacher Anna finds unexpected, white-hot passion in the arms of Dante, will her quest for the truth cost him more than he ever bargained for? Or will they find a way to save Liz – and their love – together?

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

When the author approached me to read the book all she has to say was Paranormal and I was on board.  Yep I kinda like paranormal.  Anyway, I really had no idea what the book was about until I read the blurb that said demons, shifters, vampires who all hang at a bar and are in motorcycle gang…Uhm double and triple check right there.  Throw in they are 1%ers annnnd my heart is going wild.

This book is about Anna who is looking for her sister Liz.  Liz is the wild and crazy twin while Anna is the school teacher, responsible one.  She walks into Seven, the bar of the biker gang, and her entire world changes.  She meets Dante who is a lot more than JUST a human.

Dante is floored at this woman.  She is sassy, feisty and the other half to what he needs to save his people from the evil he is currently working with.  Don’t get me wrong, Dante is no angel, but he is trying to do right and fix some of the bad in the world.  He is also looking to make a safe haven for otherworlders like himself who have no place to go.

Anna and Dante had some steamy hawt sexy time for sure. Seems our Anna is a but of a masochist which our pain demon, Dante, is quite happy to help out *Wink wink*  The final conflict of the story will leave you super emotional because of the struggle our characters have to go through to stop the evil.

I enjoyed the book a lot and totally wanna read book 2 like ASAP.

#WOTR24 #Audio #MM – Dreams by Kate Hawthorne, Narration by narration by Michael Ferraiuolo

Leave a comment

Jackson Bishop doesn’t know what’s real.

He had a birthday. He met a man. He buried his mother. He got lost in the woods, and then…

Jackson woke up.

It’s his birthday again and his mother is alive, but the man from his dream is selling him a coffee and he doesn’t know Jackson’s name. Fragments of his memories become tangible threads of his reality and, as the days and nights unravel, Jackson finds himself falling for a stranger he feels like he’s known his whole life.

Jackson needs to uncover the truth before he loses his mind, but when he pieces everything together, will he come out with a soul mate by his side or will he wake up and discover none of it was real? That everything ended much as it had started.

As a dream.

Goodreads

Review by Twinsie Angie

I got this audio when the author dropped a bunch of codes in an reader event group.

I will start by saying I enjoyed the narrator’s voice.  I have never read anything by them before and I felt he did a good job varying the voices for the characters in the story.

I will admit when the story started, I was a little confused and then thought I was in the movie Groundhogs Day. It seemed the day was repeating but with different outcomes.  When the story starts to flow and we are out of the groundhog like situation, I settled in for the story.

Jackson keeps having dreams about a man he doesn’t know but knows in a way he can’t understand.  WE see through memories Jackson’s life, death of his father, friends, and beloved mother’s relationship.   Jackson had a lot of dreams of this man, and he wonders if he even exists.  Imogine his surprise when he goes to get coffee and BOOM there he is!  The dream man.

Taylor is working at the coffee shop when the man he can’t stop dreaming about comes in.  He can’t believe he knows so much about the man.  When he sees the man at his neighbor’s house and learns of his connection to his house, the men begin to spend time together to see what is happening.

I did like the story but was a little confused at the beginning.  The Groundhog Day effect had me confused.  By the end of the story, I did enjoy the though of soulmates finding each other through time.

With over two dozen published romances to her name, Kate Hawthorne has built a recognizable brand around telling emotional stories that pack a figurative (and sometimes literal) punch.

Existing on a steady diet of wine and coffee, Kate spends her days dreaming up angsty stories full of heat, kink, and heart. Kate now lives in Louisville, where she writes romance, reads romance, and hides from the humidity.

Stephanie J. Scott

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

I write light-hearted, quirky romance and young adult as Stephanie J. Scott and romantic comedy as Stephanie Jayne. I live in greater Chicago area and grew up in Michigan, where I have set a number of books in both real and fictional places. I’m an avid reader, X-box gamer, and cat wrangler. My husband is a creative himself and we’re often working on projects side-by-side.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

The first book for sure since everything is brand new.

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

My romances focus on new characters and love interests for each book, but the fun of it is to work in characters from previous books. I’m an ideas person, so I have far too many ideas for books at this point. Though not every idea makes a good book. Sometimes ideas become part of larger plots, or they stay on a list tempting me to write more.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

There are a ton of resources available to writers these days. Honestly, the hardest part is narrowing down which advice to go with. I always say start with free first. Facebook author and writing groups, library groups, books about writing or publishing, affordable workshops recommended by trusted sources. You don’t need pricey courses to start writing; beware, there are a lot of grifters out there who will gladly take your money. My gateway into writing novels was National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) which is free and has great support for beginning writers through their online forums. Their initiative is to encourage anyone to get started writing, regardless of experience.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

I don’t write daily. I mostly write on weekends, but aim to write during the week when I can. I have a longtime critique group who I meet up with in person and virtually who keep me going when it’s tough. Marketing work happens all the time–it never stops!

What is your definition of success?

Once upon a time, I wanted to write a book–one book. Now I’ve published ten with another two on the way. I find looking back helps see what I’ve already accomplished and assists with new goals.

Review by Twinsie Dee

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

When needing to eat intel’s opening up all the windows in the middle of the night, for all kinds of monsters to come into the house. Thats what keeps Damiana alive she’s always knew she was different and no one that she knew was like her. she isn’t afraid of the monsters that lurk in the shadows, but when a human figure finds her home in the middle of nowhere, she has more to deal with then she thought. Lies, deceit and distrust feed her better than anything so you need to watch yourself or your soul could be next. the twist, turns and mystery are great, Albany never freaking disappoints and this is another amazing book by her.

Albany lives in Michigan where she’s happily married to her high school sweetheart. She spends most of her time juggling her four children’s extracurricular activities, with her nose stuck in a book. When not reading you can find her writing her very own book boyfriends. Albany’s passion is writing romance with real characters that are far from perfect, but always seem to find their own happily ever afters.

Traci Douglass

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hi! I’m Traci. I’m a full-time romance author and fiction editor. I’m traditionally published in contemporary and paranormal romance with Harlequin/Mills & Boon, Entangled Publishing, and Tule Publishing, and also indie publish MM romance under my pen name, T.S. Ankney.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

Honestly, every book brings its own challenges. The first in a series can be exciting because you’re creating everything from scratch, but that can also be a challenge because you also need to think ahead about the other books planned in the series to make sure you don’t write yourself into a box, plot or character wise, that you can’t get out of. Writing the later books can be easier, world-building wise, because you’ve already set up the world. But then you also need to make sure you keep things consistent and don’t contradict yourself because readers will notice. And let you know about it! 😂👍

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

As a writer, I’m always discovering as I go, so keeping it fresh isn’t really a problem. Characters and settings reveal new aspects to me all the time, so… I will say though I also make conscious choices, whenever possible, to choose the new and diverse also, because I like my books to reflect the world I see around me, and different is beautiful, baby! ❤️

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Just pace yourself and write the way it works for you. Trying to impose someone else’s random rules about word counts per day or outlining or whatever, can really intimidate and stifle new writers who are still finding out what works for them. Do what works for you and what gets words on the page. That’s all that matters. 👍

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

I work on my own books in the morning, usually two at a time in different stages of doneness, then work on my day-job editing in the afternoon. So, yeah. It’s a nine to five job for me. ✍️

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

Aw, man. I can’t pick just one. That’s like asking a parent to pick a favorite kid. 😂 I love all my characters for different reasons. 🤷‍♀️

What is your definition of success?

Being able to support myself doing what I love and having readers fall in love with the worlds and people I create. 😊

Leave a comment

Zoey

Life doesn’t always go according to plan, a lesson I learned the hard way during my divorce. My first love returns home just in time to watch me pick up the pieces, and the moment I lay eyes on him every memory rushes back.

Jayson Lincoln, the man who still makes my heart beat fast, after all these years. But he’s Doctor Lincoln now and I’m a far cry from the carefree girl he left behind.

I’m learning to navigate life as a single mother of twin girls and he’s reluctantly home to take over the family practice. We may be back in the same small town, but we’re still worlds apart.

Jayson

It’s always been her. No one could ever measure up to Zoey Harding.

And I’ll always regret walking away from her and our hometown, for the big city to chase my dreams.

The longer I’m back, the more the echoes of our past whisper what could have been. But it’s not just about us, and her daughters steal my heart and mend what’s been broken for far too long.

Zoey’s afraid to trust me, but I’m determined to heal the fractures of her heart and prove that this time I’m not going anywhere.

Review by Twinsie Dee

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

Tragic hits Magnolia Grove when the town doctor passes away. bringing Jayson back home to bury not only his grandpa, but his mentor and his best friend. Now back home after the funeral Jayson found himself in now his office of his new practice, that his grandpa left him. but being back home gave him a chance to get the love of his life back. Zoey is dealing with her hopefully soon to be ex-husband who keeps dragging out their divorce, and also trying to keep her twins safe from it all. So having the boy that makes her heart flutter coming back to town is the last thing she needs right now. Jayson is going to try everything he can to break Zoey’s walls down and get back into her life. But will she allow him to not only into her heart again but into the heart of her twin girls? oh this book had my heart especially from Zoey’s point of view with having my divorce being drug out, and doing everything i could do to keep my son safe and happy.

C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She’s always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories.

She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes…thankfully.

She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better…that quietness changes, fast

#NewRelease #Review – My Anti-hero by: Tijan

Leave a comment

My Anti-Hero by Tijan is now live!

shouldn’t have agreed to this. What was I thinking?
Appearing on a local news show? Just because something happened to me?
I live mostly in isolation on purpose.
But here I am.
I was so nervous that I needed the make-up chair, twice.
And then I walked past his room.
He’s a giant—no softness, all muscle.
And a rich beard that made me want to rub myself all over it.
He made me see stars, literally because the second time I saw him, I tripped.
Or I would’ve, but he caught me, and the cameras were rolling.
Soon, that clip will be trending because he wasn’t just another guest on the show.
He’s Brett Broudou, the Kings’ newest football star.
We couldn’t be more opposite.
The only special thing about me is the reason I was on the show.
Brett, the Super Bowl champion, and me, the survivor who helped bring down the infamous Midwest Butcher.
Brett might not think he’s anyone’s hero, but he’s about to become mine.

I received an arc from the Author for an honest review.

I absolutely love Tijan’s writing so when I saw this one I jumped at the chance without reading what the book is about. I do not usually read or listen to True Crime or dark. I was a bit nervous when I started this and realized what it was about. I have to say I LOVED everything about this book. Billie and Brett both pulled me in so fast and deep it was hard to set this book down.

Billie has been through so much in her lifetime. Always losing those she loves. Being in the house when she lost her best friend and survived the Midwest Butcher. Then loosing her mother and brother within the same week. Billie is a loner likes her life of solitude with her chickens but every year since the killing of her best friend she is tossed into the limelight that she wants no part of. Billie decides to do her first TV interview about surviving the Midwest Butcher, when she stumbles into the one and only Brett Broudou the newest rising football player.

What can I say about Brett Broudou. I loved him really he is a famous football player and always in the media. However, he is not one to search out the fame. To be honest when these two came together I was not sure how it would work. Brett and Billie make the perfect pair. He is so protective of her looking out for her wanting to make sure she is safe. The date he takes her on knowing her love of animals it was perfect.

I felt so many emotions while reading this book. It was like being on the best rollercoaster there were great happy moments, then there was some oh crap now what moments and in between we had sweet and funny moments. I enjoyed seeing new characters and seeing some of the characters from other books of Tijan’s. It’s always nice to see someone you knew and liked. I would love to learn more about some of Brett’s teammates now that we have seen them.

A few of my favorite quotes:

“She left her digits for you.” I snatched it up. “I got her number?” “You got her number.” He studied me thoughtfully. “First time I’ve seen you like this.”

For all the chaos in the world, there was also magic. I didn’t know how to explain it, to understand it, but as Brett drove up the driveway, it was there, Magic. A calm in the storm.

Tricia Andersen

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My name is Tricia Andersen. I write all sorts of romance – paranormal, Greek god, fighter, contemporary, historical and fantasy. I live in Iowa with my husband. I also have three children and my four-legged baby, Kinnick.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

I think the first book is the hardest because I have to create the world I am writing about along with the characters. When I work on the additional books in the series, those details are already there.

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I like to dive deeper into the world I set up or expose something about a character that the reader didn’t know. I also like to introduce action scenes to keep it face paced.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Don’t give up. It can be overwhelming but getting that book out is definitely possible. Slow your pace until it feels manageable again.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

Not enough. Maybe an hour?

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

My favorite character is Freddy from the Gods of DC series. He’s passionate, snarky and is becoming a phenomenal leader.

 What is your definition of success?

My definition of success is achieving my dreams. I always wanted to be a writer since I was little. I feel I have been successful.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

The latter books in the series are always harder. When I’m first starting out, the sky’s the limit on what I can do in that world, but later I have to follow my own world’s rules!

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I am always conscious of when I might be repeating myself or copying what I’ve already done in a previous book, and I never want to do that, so it’s always at the forefront of my mind to keep things fresh and interesting.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Get sleep. Seriously, get sleep. You may think you don’t need it because the rush of writing words is awesome, especially late at night when the world is quiet and it’s just you and the characters, but trust me. Get sleep. Your stories and your health will be better for it.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

4-5 hours, sometimes more

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

I love them all. Honestly, I do. Plus, picking a favorite will only make the others cranky at me. 😉

What is your definition of success?

Being happy with what I’ve written while also being able to make a living from it.

Do you have anything you want to share that didn’t fit on one of these questions?

Thanks for reading this! Come see me at Writers on the River. I’d love to meet you in person!
