#WOTR22 #ReleaseDay #DoubleReview #Paranormal #Shifters #FatedMates – Bold, Alumbra Pack Book 2 by AJ Renee

Book Cover

True mates should be protected at all costs, even when their past comes barging back in.
Joel was content in helping his alpha and cousin with pack matters. Protect witches, hunt down pack family members, attend a long pack weekend put on by the alpha’s mate? Check, check, and check.
Laying eyes on his true mate wasn’t what he expected, but it’s the best thing he could have hoped for. When she begins ghosting him, he’s forced to dig deep for patience.
Lea was a survivor. At least that was what the psychologist she saw told her. Getting past the horrors her life had become was one thing. Meeting her true mate and feeling worthy of their fated destiny was another.
As if navigating the waters of a true mate weren’t hard enough, she runs into the man who set off the horrid chain of events that ruined her life.
Can she accept he’s unlike the men of her past, or will their open wounds be the death of them?

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

Oh Joel.  You hot piece of pack meat!!  We met Joel and knew he was part of the alpha, Peter’s, inner circle.  He was always off doing pack business but also being a protector to pack members.  When he comes home and hears Lea singing, he knew she was his.  Knowing she was a survivor of the horrors the women had gone through but the pack saved, he was ready to be patient and kind to win her over.

Lea was a mess of fear when her body came alive when she saw Joel.  Fear kept her away and fear made her push him but mainly fear of what could happen if her past before the kidnapping was found out.  Lea was outted by her friend about her fear which tears Joel apart.  I felt so bad for the wonderful pack member.  But her rejection is just too much for the soft hearted were.

When Joel and Lea start to make some head way to see why the fates mated them together, her past comes tumbling out in a big and terrible way.  I loved seeing Lea form a backbone and fight for what she wanted.  I loved seeing Joel realize she was stronger than he imagined.  Their love story was such a great read.

Guys, I loved Peter and Joel in their books but I think Xander is going to steal my heart.  He is too funny and grumpy that I am head over heals for this were.  I am beyond excited for Adira’s book and the mysterious man who has her allllllll messed up!!!

I received book from the author for an honest review.

I loved this book as much as I did Rebel.  Peter had my heart beating double time but Joel had me swooning.  I cannot wait for all these wolves to find their true mate. Joel gives Lea the time she needs which could possibly end up killing them both.

Joel works for Peter on projects that take him out of town for long periods of time. When he returns the night of the party, he knows Lea is his when he hears her singing and sees her.  Lea sees her true mate, Joel, but she is scared her past will sneak up on her. While trying to push her true mate away she unknowing could harm both of them.

One of Joel’s assignments ends up bringing Lea’s past right to their door. I love that Lea does not back down and run but shows the strength inside her. She is such a strong werewolf and she lets it out to take what is hers.

These two go through so much and have to learn to trust one another. I love how this pack works well together. They all make up a great team when they are put in situations.  They are resourceful always finding a way to pull together and come out on top. I am in love with this entire pack and cannot wait to see where this story goes and who everyone’s mate is. I am especially excited to see who Xander or even Alton’s mate will be but it looks like Adira is next up in the mate department.  She is going to be another strong female heroine and I cannot wait to hear her story.

AJ Renee loves to write steamy romance with a happily ever after. When she isn’t writing or interacting with her readers, you can find her spending time with her family or reading.

She graduated from the University of Central Florida with her Masters of Science in Criminal Justice and a Bachelors of Science in Psychology.

#WOTR22 #Audio #Shifters #RH #7Mates – Outlaw, The Pack Prophecy #2 by R.L. Caulder, Narration by Heather Costa and Jeffrey Kafer

Outlaw (The Pack Prophecy Book 2) by [R.L. Caulder]

Behind every woman scorned is probably a person who made her that way. For me, it was more than one.

It was an entire pack.

I was exiled for exposing a murderous traitor. I was rejected by my mate, our bond shattered forever.

Even after being chosen by our goddess, my powers and title will never be enough for them to stand by me.

Now plagued by frequent and debilitating visions of battle and death, my mates and I must fight to assemble an army with no one but our goddess at our back.

Because war is coming, and not everyone will survive.

But I was chosen for a reason. I will lead an army if I must. I will stand in the gap and protect my people and their future, no matter what they’ve done. I will fulfill my prophecy.

Even if it means my death.
***
Author Note:. This book has a 18+ warning and is intended for mature audiences. It is book two in The Pack Prophecy series which will end in a cliffhanger.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased the ebook and audio book.  I listened to the audio.

The narration by Heather and Jeffrey *Chef’s Kiss* they are the dream team!!  I admit I loved Jeffrey before this book but her and Heather make a perfect team!!

The first book ended, and we wanted to throat punch Jamieson.  How can you deny your fated mate??  Good think Kira has Milo and Seth on her side!! This book starts with as the 3 are on the run from Jace and their packmates.

Sophia helps us escape and we wonder who else is on our side.  To find out who was the helper made my heart soar.

The three spend most of the time on the run looking to make it to the Summit where all the alphas of alphas will be meeting.  They need to stop Jace and prepare the Summit for what will happen.  We soon learn that our girl Kira has more then 3 mates and that is quite a shock.  The rag tag pack also pick up a stray named Morgan who is just the sweetest pup who needs some love.

The story was a little bit slower then the original as we are building to get to the summit, finding some helpers to stop Jace and see what else the Prophetess needs to do to save the shifters.

This book ends on a cliff hanger and am waiting for book 3!  I can’t wait for more!

Firefly by KB Everly

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

Its been a hot second since I have read anything by KB because like has been crazy for everyone.  This is the first book she has gotten out in awhile, so I jumped to get a copy.  I mean firefighters…scratch that….alpha hot fireman and a RH so #WhyChoose…I am on board.

I loved the premise of the book.  Sophia is caught in a fire when some tall dark drinks of water save her.  Intro said tall dark drinks of water Alden, Porter, and Daren.  These men jump in and help her at her worse.  They are there to kiss away the boo boos and kiss other things *wink*.

Sophia and her hotties are on the case to find out the why and more importantly the who in what happened to her.  I loved the plot twists and turns.  Each one had me more excited and wanted to see what happens!!!!!

I thought this was a great book to dip her toe back into the crazy world of publishing.  Fans of her will be in love with the characters.  New people to the story will find a new favorite to read.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased the ebook.

I am a huge fan of holiday, syrupy novellas with inst-love.  When Britni publishes one, I grab it.  This book was the perfect little Easter Egg for me to read while sitting around on a Friday night.

This is a sweet story about Madison or Aunt Grace (though we don’t know why she is called that but I guess we all can figure it out) who is helping her sister out for a few days.  Family is family and Madison runs to hang with Sophie for a few days.

During one of the outings Madison meets up with a grump dad and his adorable son.  They two chat and run into each other the next day.  When Grumpy Dad finally starts to talk, the two start to feel some tension.  Slowly the kids are making plans and the adults are not really sad to be spending time together.

The story is sweet, sexy, and full of fun.  I absolutely love the story of Dane and Madison.  The epilogue made my heart so happy seeing them 1 year later.  I would love a story about his buddies at the bar!!!

#WOTR22 #Audio #MC #AgeGap #Military #ReRead – Preacher Girl, Steel MC Montana Charter book 3 by Michel Prince, Narration by Kat Mawell

Michel is our attending author.

Preacher Girl (Steel MC Montana Charter #3)

Warning: Mature Adult Audiences 18+. Contains language and actions some may deem offensive. Sexually explicit content. MF.

In book three of Steel MC Montana Charter: Formerly a Navy SEAL, Thomas Creek was used to being single and free. He earned the nickname “Hack” due to his mad computer skills when he joined the Steel MC Montana Charter. Being part of the club allows him the freedom to ride fast and free on his motorcycle, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Hannah Ence grew up as one of many daughters of a prophet, now being forced into a plural marriage by her father. Posting on the dark web, she prayed for help in escaping her fate. She wasn’t asking for much—a future beyond that of a wife to a man who had a half dozen already.

Steel Montana, though they pledged to be part of a domestic abuse underground, was still working toward building their club. Alerted by Hack of Hannah’s plight, they chose to answer her call. They just didn’t know how important Hannah would be to the club until after she was rescued.

With a rival MC actively attacking the Steels, and Hannah’s sheltered upbringing, Hack worries about the raven-haired angel he saved. Is Hannah strong enough to become a part of his life? Or is her draw to him fleeting, brought on by the fact he makes her feel safe? Because for him, she has become so much more than a job.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this ebook and audio book.

OMG HACK!!!  Friends, I have been on #TeamBaldy since I was introduced to him in book 1 but after this book…uhm…wellll…Baldy might be getting sidelined *Gasp* I know I know!!!!

Thomas AKA Hack is Mr. Few Words and Mr. Always Club Business.  When he sees Hannah’s cry for help on the internet, he jumps to protect her from a marriage to her GREAT UNCLE who is like 70 years old.  EWWWWW

Hannah has grown up in a religious cult. She knew not everything was right but when your father is THE MAN how do you disrespect him??  She gets some help and makes a plea for help online.  When the MC shows up, she is scared as heck because hello they might have killed her family to save her plus…uhm…she is sheltered, and they are FREAKING BIKERS!!!

The attraction to each other is instant in a way.  But maybe its more a mutual respect then attraction initially now that I think about it.  He respects her for leaving everything she knows, and she respects him for his loyalty to friends and family.

As they bond and spend time together you can see their attraction build but he is freaking because she a virgin and 18.  She believes, thanks to her past, she is a demon and will ruin any life she decides to shack up with.

Seeing them explore everything from her desire for MORE in life like school, job. Family, and a college education while he explores the possibility of an Ol’ Lady and family.

I loved loved loved these two.  They were such an odd dynamic and yet they fit together perfectly.  But I admit, after listening to the opening scene/preview for Baldy…..Hack might get kicked to the curb again/  LOL

#TrueCrime #Audio #Family #murder – If You Really Love Me by Ann Rule

There was only one way to please her father: Murder his wife….

David Brown was the consummate entrepreneur: a computer wizard and millionaire by age thirty-two. When his beautiful young wife was shot to death as she slept, Brown’s fourteen-year-old daughter, Cinnamon, confessed to killing her stepmother. The California courts sentenced her harshly: twenty-four years to life. But in the wake of Cinnamon’s murder conviction, thanks in part to two determined lawmen, the twisted private world of David Brown himself unfolded with astonishing clarity — revealing a trail of perverse love, twisted secrets, and evil mind games. A complex and often dangerous investigation suggested a horrifying scenario: Was the seemingly bland David Brown really a stone-cold killer who convinced his own daughter to prove her love by killing for him? A man who turned young women into his own personal slaves, who collected nearly $1 million in insurance money, and married his dead wife’s teenage sister, David Brown was a sociopath who would stop at nothing…a deadly charmer who almost got away with everything.

If You Really Love Me by Ann Rule

I purchased audio,

I am a huge podcast listener.  I love true crime.  I am also an avid audio book listener.  Well one day I had credits to burn, and no books were really hitting my interest.  Then I scrolled and BOOM this book!!  I have heard this story told on a podcast I love…HELLO Morbid is the Bees Knees if you are a podcast fan!!

So this book is not the full story from what I have been told.  It’s a shorter version but it hits all the highlights.  Essentially all you need to know is David is an awful man who manipulates all the women in his life.  He is a POS and don’t feel sorry for him.  I al so wanna say I get he groomed his wife’s sister AKA his NEXT WIFE but I don’t feel as bad for her but am glad she opened her eyes to him.

Cinnamon is the biggest victim in the whole med. This is a 14 year old girl who took the fall for her father because “If you really love me” you will do this for me…ya know kill my wife/your step mom.

The whole story is sad and tragic but Ann did a great job narrating it for the listener.  Ann takes us through the murder, trial and subsequent changes to the story for all the players involved.

Ann Rule was a popular American true crime writer. Raised in a law enforcement and criminal justice system environment, she grew up wanting to work in law enforcement herself. She was a former Seattle Policewoman and was well educated in psychology and criminology.

She came to prominence with her first book, The Stranger Beside Me, about the Ted Bundy murders. At the time she started researching the book, the murders were still unsolved. In the course of time, it became clear that the killer was Bundy, her friend and her colleague as a trained volunteer on the suicide hotline at the Seattle, Washington Crisis Clinic, giving her a unique distinction among true crime writers.

Rule won two Anthony Awards from Bouchercon, the mystery fans’ organization. She was nominated three times for the Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America. She is highly regarded for creating the true crime genre as it exists today.

Ann Rule also wrote under the name Andy Stack . Her daughter is Goodreads author Leslie Rule.

#TrueCrime #audio #Crime #Horror #adult #SerialKiller – The Stranger Beside Me : Ted Bundy : The Shocking Inside Story by Ann Rule

Utterly unique in its astonishing intimacy, as jarringly frightening as when it first appeared, Ann Rule’s The Stranger Beside Me defies our expectation that we would surely know if a monster lived among us, worked alongside of us, appeared as one of us. With a slow chill that intensifies with each heart-pounding page, Rule describes her dawning awareness that Ted Bundy, her sensitive coworker on a crisis hotline, was one of the most prolific serial killers in America. He would confess to killing at least thirty-six young women from coast to coast, and was eventually executed for three of those cases. Drawing from their correspondence that endured until shortly before Bundy’s death, and striking a seamless balance between her deeply personal perspective and her role as a crime reporter on the hunt for a savage serial killer — the brilliant and charismatic Bundy, the man she thought she knew — Rule changed the course of true-crime literature with this unforgettable chronicle.

Now from what I understand the audio is not the full book Ann wrote but it hits all the highlights of the Ted Bundy timelines.  I admit hearing the author herself TELL the story made me want to listen all the more.

I really can’t say this story added any more detail to the horror that is Bundy but hearing her tell how this monster was someone she considered a friend was interesting.  Hearing her day how she was conflicted that this “Ted” can’t be HER Ted also made me feel for her as a person.  She too was swindled by the con man that is Ted Bundy.

#NewRelease #DoubleReview – Famous in a Small Town by: Kylie Scott

He was looking for serenity and he may have just found it in her.

Famous in a Small Town, an all new small town, grumpy meets sunshine rock star romance, from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott, is now available!

What chance does a small-town girl have with a world-famous rock star?

Two years after his wife’s death, rock star Garrett Hayes hasn’t moved on. But he has moved out of L.A. Where better to escape his past than a small town in the northern California mountains? If only he could get the townsfolk of Wildwood to leave him the hell alone.

Ani Bennet returned to her hometown for some much-needed serenity. The last thing she needs is a grumpy, too hot for his own good, rich and famous rock star living next door—and rent-free in her brain.

She set her fangirl tendencies aside and deleted his photo from her cell when they became neighbors. But when Garrett asks for help, she can’t say no. The problem is, spending time together is making those fangirl feelings resurface—and bringing them to a whole new level.

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

Kylie is the queen on snarky language. I love that about her stories. I always know I will get banter or humor with characters. This book was another great one.
I do have to say I loved that this book wasn’t like her other rockers. Garrett is kinda a broken man. His wife and band are gone. He goes and is trying to rebuild his life and happens to move in next door to Ani. Ani is also a woman who has some issues herself to work through.
The chemistry between the two is a great slow burn. They have a delicious spark that ignites when they are together more and more. They have a lot of stuff to work thought but that is what makes the story all the more amazing of a read.
I absolutely loved it and would more of the side characters if they are developed for more books.

Review by Twinsie Melinda

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

Kylie has such a wonder way of telling a story with a new spin.  I enjoyed seeing Ani and Garrett’s story unfold in this small-town hideaway.

Ani ran home after being in the big city to hide away. Garrett lost the love of his life and ran away to hide from everyone and everything.  Ani never expected her new neighbor to be the one and only Garrett that she used to fangirl over. Garrett never expected to have a neighbor that could help him learn to live again. 

I loved watching these two “not” date and get to know one another.  Will Garrett’s fame be too much for Ani to handle as a small-town girl. Can Garrett make a life in a small-town after being in the spotlight for so long? I enjoyed getting to know all the characters in this book and I want to know so much more about some of them.  Smith really has intrigued me along with the other band members and would love to know more of their stories.

Taming The Dragon: Dragon Shifter Fire & Rescue (Sparks Of Desire Book 5) by [Valerie Twombly]

His past broke him.

Kadin’s siblings believe he only cares about pure dragon bloodlines and that is why he refuses to take a human mate. They don’t know about his dark past. A day centuries ago that changed him forever and left him crippled with fear. When he sees Avery, however, his dragon knows she belongs to him. The beast doesn’t care she’s human, but Kadin can’t forget his past.

She can heal him.

Avery has spent her life second guessing herself. From her body image, to allowing her brothers to convince her that an EMT was a more suitable job than a firefighter. When a shifter shows up at her station, she has no idea the impact he will have on her. Kadin is bigger than life and hotter than any fire she’s ever seen. When a friendly date turns into a night she will never forget, she’s left wondering why she can’t let him walk away.

When Kadin finally realizes he can’t live without Avery, he might be forced to do just that. Tragedy strikes not once but twice and threatens to break the couple apart forever.

Goodreads

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

I love this series and the lore about the dragon shifters in this series.  I love the family of shifters we have met and watched them all pair up with their mates.  Now its good old stubborn, hardheaded dragon shifter/fire chief Kaden.  He is finally over his sister marrying a human, but he refuses to do that.  For his people he needs to marry a pure bred or a halfling.  Too dang bad his dragon is not on board once he sees Avery.

Avery has been run over by all the men in her family.  They made her fee less then and really pushed her out of her love for being a firefighter and into being an EMT even though she was the best in her class.  When the human force asks a shifter to help them, she is stunned stupid at the hot man in front of her.  Too bad she is down on herself and believes no one like him would like someone like her.

Kaden and his dragon are smitten with Avery.  His dragon is ready to claim her but Kaden…remember when I said he was stubborn and hardheaded…well he won’t.  He pushes Avery away.

Kaden slowly reveals a history of loss the family is unaware which helps them understand him a little ebit better BUT they are still not happy he won’t accept his mate when she is perfect except for the fact she is a human …FYI only he has issue with that small detail.

Kaden and Avery have some turmoil with some bad people who do stuff that make Kaden and Avery face up to how they feel before they lose what they might have.

Kaden was a fun character to read.  He was sooo stupid and stubborn but yet he loves his family to hard.  Avery was just the perfect heroin.  She was unconfident but not annoying with her self-doubts.  She is sassy and loves his family.  I also loved her sister and her relationship.  Kelly gives Avery the confidence she needs along with Kaden’s sister Bella.

Award winning and bestselling author Valerie Twombly grew up watching Dark Shadows over her mother’s shoulder, and from there her love of the fanged creatures blossomed. Today, Valerie has decided to take her darker, sensual side and put it to paper.

When she is not busy creating a world full of steamy, hot men and strong, seductive women, she juggles her time between a full-time job, hubby and dog, in Northern IL.

#NewRelease – Piper’s Purgatory by Maureen A. Miller

PIPER'S PURGATORY by [Maureen A. Miller]

Is it possible to fall in love in the afterlife?

The last thing Piper Malko ever expected was to have her life snatched away so early. When she wakes up on the front steps of her brownstone to a rose-colored facsimile of her world, she is forced to come to grips with her demise. Why is she still trapped on her street, though? Was there a debate as to her final destination? Any attempt to ask the gauzy pedestrians passing by goes unheard. No one notices her. Until she sees him—over six feet of well-defined humanity staring back at her from across the street.

Russell Hughes is dead. He can remember the impact of the car. But there was no bright light. No portal to the beyond. Instead, everything around him is pink. Except for her. The attractive woman across the street.

Together, Piper and Russ try to piece together the crime that killed two strangers on the same road. If they can find their killer, then maybe they can escape this rosy limbo.

But will leaving purgatory tear them apart…just as they’re falling in love?
