Review by Twinsie Angie

I received this book for an honest review.

Teresa! I Love your face off!! Woman you can write and weave an amazing storyline. Every story gets tighter and better. Every plot line gets more involved, more developed and more awesomer??? Is awesomer a word? It is to me.

So this book is kind of a Slade and Jill book 2….Yes they got their HEA but Jill is sick…as are all the man-made half breeds. So our dashing and delicious alpha male hottie doctor is trying to save all the half breeds he cares about…Pam, Adam and his mate, Jill. Jill and Slade are set to get married in 3 weeks but with Jill’s sickness and unknown future, she wants it sooner but she also wants to share her day with her sisters Nicole, Tessa Aka Me since Jared is my mate, Lana, Pam and Angelina.

The story is actually a great blending of stuff from their last book into this book. We get to see Jill’s family again. We get to see Jax and meet some of his friends…annnnd yum is all I can say. While this book is happening we are hanging with the Lee County Shifters plus meeting a new EX-Warrior named Blaze and boy oh boy can I not wait for his book….I-Che-MAMA. We are also getting a little bit more information on Mika, Jax’s brother. What I am REALLY excited about is Jax admitting his FEELINGS to himself about a certain sister…EEEEP!! I cannot wait for their story!!!

This book has me cracking up…I cant believe it was STEVE over SID plus it had me sobbing……yeah friends SOBBING full ugly cry at times……

Review by: Twinsie Melinda

I purchased this book.

I have purchased a few of Roxie Ray’s books and so far, I have enjoyed each one. This is a cute Christmas story about a widowed bear shifter dad and his two daughters who meet a young boy and his mom who have not had an easy life.

How can you not fall in love with Remy who is caring, understanding and 100% doting father of his 2 girls and Jeannie who is trying to balance her son’s medical bills, illness and give him the same experiences any child would want.  Remy’s girls Addy and Eva are amazing they are so understanding and compassionate when it comes to Max.

 I enjoyed this book so much it was fun with silly moments between the kids and their parents. There were romantic moments between Remy and Jeannie even if the kids and Remy’s sister-in-law gave them a little nudge in that direction. I have to say hearing Remy and his late wife Zara story and Max and Jeannie was heart breaking. The way Remy’s family accepts Jeannie and Max with open arms made my heart swell. I loved the winter back drop to most of this story and even seeing them incorporate Christmas in July was magical.  This was a wonderful read to get me in the Christmas spirit.

Roxie Ray is a collaborative group of writer friends passionate about crafting unforgettable Paranormal and Alien Romance. Together, they weave steamy, heart-pounding stories filled with captivating characters, sizzling chemistry, and plots that keep you hooked from start to finish.

A #1 New York Times Best Seller, Ann Rule’s The Stranger Beside Me gives us a unique perspective into the hidden world of Ted Bundy. Rule gives a chilling and intimate description of her time at a crisis hotline alongside her co-worker, the then charming, sensitive and trustworthy Ted Bundy, and the devastating realization that he was a brutal killer hiding in plain sight. After multiple arrests and an escape from jail, Bundy would later confess to the murders of at least thirty-six women and soon after was executed for three cases. Rule, a certified instructor for police training seminars, prosecutors and forensic science organizations, delves into how this savage killer — a man she thought she knew — could have fooled so many, including a professional like herself.

Now includes updated afterword written by Leslie Rule, Ann Rule’s daughter.

“The most fascinating killer in modern American history…Ann Rule has an extraordinary angle that makes The Stranger Beside Me as dramatic and chilling as a bedroom window shattering at midnight.” – New York Times

“As dramatic and chilling as a bedroom window shattering at midnight.” — The New York Times” – From the Publisher

“A shattering story…carefully investigated, written with compassion but also with professional objectivity.” – Seattle Times

Review by Twinsie Tenise

Wow! This was a compelling first hand account from somone who may have known Ted Bundy better than anyone. Her name was Ann Rule and she would later learn she was best friends with a serial killer. They worked together at a call center, clicked and were instant best friends. He was so kind to her, unlike how he treated his victims. For some reason he deemed her safe and would continue to try and keep her safe throughout their time knowing one another. To be Ann, a young writer looking for their big break when the story of a lifetime falls right in your lap. The moral delima she must have faced as the dots began to connect. I thank Ann for sharing her story. I am a true crime junkie and when I learned through a podcast about this book, I had to read it. I ended up listening to the audiobook narrated by the author this morning. It was an intimate telling of their story in her words with correspondence from him. I am so happy she decided to narrated it because I feel like she is the only person capable of telling this story. I know she wrote the book but I appreciate that she also voiced the audio version. She outlived Ed by well over 20 years,  after listening to this book I cannot even imagine all of the what ifs she lived with until her passing.

A grumpy-sweet alpha. A broke but brilliant baker. One emergency cake order that might just be fate.

When Castiel’s pack reunion turns into a frosting-fueled disaster, the last thing he expects is to find salvation in the form of a tiny bakery—and the fiery, flour-dusted woman who runs it.

Felicia’s barely keeping her business alive, her heart is still healing, and she has zero time for distractions—especially not the ridiculously hot country guy begging for last-minute cakes. But with a hundred people waiting for dessert and a cash offer she can’t refuse, she says yes.

One rushed bake. Three ruined ovens. A van full of dreams.
And a connection that neither of them saw coming.

She’s a human with a whisk.
He’s an Alpha with responsibilities.
But when their worlds collide, it’s anything but half-baked.

Review by: Twinsie Melinda

I picked this book up from Amazon.

I enjoyed this sweet read. There was not too much drama just a rival pack, some cunning fairies, and a clever human baker.

I loved readding about Felicia and Castiel and seeing their relationship grow. Castiel is the alpha of his pack so when a young one in the pack has her firsts shift and takes out all the deserts for the family reunion Castiel needs to find a way to get them replaced and quickly. Castiel finds a Bakery that is open and the owner willing to fulfill the order and deliver it at that.  

Felicia is trying to keep her family’s bakery a float but when more bills than customers are coming in it is an uphill battle.  Until Castiel comes in to place a LARGE last-minute order for his family reunion. Of course, Felicia agrees to make the treats and get them delivered. When she arrives to the delivery location, she is amazed by the size of Castiel’s family.  Can I just say I love Castiel’s pack there are so many characters and personalities I enjoyed each interaction. There was a mix-up as to who Felicia was by a blind elder and Felicia was given the special punch causing her to hang out longer with the clan.

This was a wholesome fun read. I loved seeing Castiel and Felicia banter and seeing where their relationship lead. I have to say the aunties and grandmas have a place in my heart I just loved seeing all of the interacting with everyone. There was just something likable about Felicia and everyone seen it even the rival pack.  I’m not sure that anyone even fairies were immune to Felicia yummy treats.

I dream of being multi-lingual. I am currently very far from this goal. I’m always on the lookout for new adventures. I think my child-like enthusiasm for life is endearing. Hopefully, my friends and loved ones agree. I yoga on occasion. I feel Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the best TV show ever made. Veronica Mars a very close second. I was a closeted romantic for years but recently came out. I frequently watch horror movies alone – and then regret it. I like beautiful oddities. Thundersnow is my favorite weather phenomenon.

As old desires resurface, the line between sacrifice and obsession blurs, threatening to draw them both into a place they cannot escape…

I took a vow to God, to my faith, to my people. As a priest, I am bound by duty, but there’s something I can never escape—Ronan. He was my entire world. We were young, stupid, and full of dreams neither of us was able to express and when those feelings became too much, he left me.

I chose this life—a life of celibacy and sacrifice. I convinced myself it was what I wanted. To move on and let go of the past I could never have. To let go of him. But when he comes back whispering his sins and fantasies that all allude to being about me. His every word pulls me back where I can’t forget and awakens my own hidden desires.

I thought I had buried him—buried us—but the truth is, I never stopped loving him. He left to become someone else, someone who didn’t carry the weight of our love and I became suffocated within the confines of my collar. Now the temptation to cross every line I’ve sworn to uphold burns hotter than ever because he’s just within my grasp.

I should have never come back. But how could I stay away when the man I still love haunts my dreams? When I left, I thought I could move on, but the truth is—I never did. Despite the bodies I put beneath me, it was Elias I heard screaming my name. It was always him.

I came back seeking closure, but when I saw him again, standing there in his priest’s robes, cold and distant, I realized he wasn’t the sweet boy I had left behind. He had become a man—a man who made me realize I was still yearning to rekindle the fire I had extinguished out of fear all those years ago. I can’t stop myself from demanding everything I want and need from him.

I can’t stop begging for more. He may have made a vow, but I will show him that succumbing to me and allowing our fire to consume him will be greater than his heaven. I would worship every part of his body and soul. If he would just let me in…I would be his god.

Bound by duty and haunted by regret, Elias and Ronan are forced to confront a past that refuses to stay hidden. Elias, fixed in place by promises made long ago, is unable to shake the weight of a love that was never meant to be. Ronan returns like a restless force, pulling him back to what they once shared. Can they break free from the ties that bind them, or will they be forced to surrender to a past that still burns too brightly to forget?

What do you get when you have a horror lover with daddy issues?
A whorror author! I am all things gore and (w)horror!
My list of publications is the Reflections series, the connective Asylum Devils series, Bodies duet, Bloody Valentine from the St. Valentine series, and Mara of the Wellard asylum series.
I have a lot of works in progress and can’t wait to share them with you all!

Elias and Ronan have spent half a lifetime loving eachother from afar. Their story isn’t pretty. Its not a sunshine and roses love story.
No.
It was messy.
It was painful.
Tragic, intense and incredibly unfair.
As well as heartbreakingly beautiful.
No matter what they did, there was no escaping the other. Their love never waned no matter how many miles and years were between them.

My heart has never been more f’n broken by a book than it is right now. For the last 45-60 minutes I cried so hard, I couldn’t breathe. This was an epic love story. Ronan and Elias were IT for one another. They made one another so happy but there was always an obstacle. Their story was filled with so much darkness, angst and tragedy. They were healing from the past and were headed towards a future neither man had ever imagined.
I really am at a loss for what to say because I did not expect for it to hit me the way it did. Not to be too dramatic but I worry I may never fully recover from this one. It is now 7 hours later and my heart is still heavy af. I get it, the reason it was written as such but it still sucks. Annnnd here come the tears again. This was my introduction to SK Pryntz and I’m obsessed! The narrator, Vincent Graves was absolute perfection. Please voice more things because I need more of that sexy as sin voice in my audiobook life. I will listen to all the words you read. Your voice is ear candy, Sir. Uhhhh sorry, I’m getting way off track here.

5 absolutely soul crushing stars.
Even though I had no clue going in that this was a romantic tragedy, I cannot say if I would have even attempted to read it had I known. I guess I can’t be mad about it because sadness and heartache be damned, this book was addictive and intoxicating. Without a doubt one of the best books of the year. Time will not be able to erase Ronan and Elias’s story from my mind. I will carry them with me forever. Please read the lengthy trigger warnings. Beneath His Robes is not for everyone.
