FUBAR (Life Sucks Book 5) by [Elise Faber]

FUBAR
adjective

  1. Seriously, perhaps irreparably, damaged
  2. Thoroughly disordered or ruined
  3. Maggie Augustin’s life

She was pregnant and alone…and sick.
Seemingly every second of every day.

Yup. She’d gone from single and carefree to chained to a porcelain goddess…and soon she’d be chained to a baby—to nap schedules and car seats, to saggy boobs and blowouts, to—

Nothing that resembled her life before she’d peed on a stick and it had flashed with a plus sign.

Which was fine. Her life before that stick-peeing hadn’t been all that exciting and great. Aside from her friends, she’d been more than a little lonely, wondering what the hell she should be doing with her life.

Then…preggers.

Then…Carter.

Carter Jackson was gorgeous, funny, and good. Carter Jackson was the type of guy she once would have dreamed of riding in on his stallion and saving her. Carter Jackson was a man who’d apparently decided that she was someone that needed rescuing.

The problem? She didn’t need rescuing. Not anymore. She would be standing on her own feet from here on out, thank her very much.

The other problem? Carter was determined to rescue her anyway.

Memories of Fire (Abandoned Gods Book 1) by [H.R. Savage]

Title: Memories of Fire

Author: H. R. Savage

Series: Abandoned Gods, #1

Release Date: March 29th, 2022.

Earth buckled under the weight of the anger of a few abandoned Gods.

Knox
The Greek Gods were something from history books as fiction. However the beings that abandoned Olympus and caused mass destruction across Earth were very much real. I’ve done everything I can to survive away from their reign.
Until her.
A flash of red hair and a lost, confused gaze and I was sucked into a black hole of heated desire and a need to protect.
Yet she could destroy me in a way that even the Gods couldn’t.

Callie
Lost.
Confused.
Broken.
That’s all I felt as I opened my eyes without an idea of who I was. Knox’s no bullshit attitude challenged me to be more than an unknown. I was determined to make sure that “Callie” was not just the beaten girl lost in the desert.
Until my memories reveal more than what broke me…but how I could break them.

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

When I saw the author was writing a new book, I was in.  I have really enjoyed all the books I have read….I think I have read them all??…anyway, but when  I Found out it was mythology….DUDE I WAS SOLD!!!!

This book starts out with a rag tag team of humans hiding away form Zeus the Douche Bag (yes the capitals are needed) since he has ruined Earth and decided to run it from Hollywood.  The dude is seriously a jerk.  Anyway back to our team of humans hiding out.  Knox, Alex, Eric, Reyna, and Dwayne are all living the best life they can trading with other communities and just getting buy.  They see some God loving Hawks dump a body in the desert.  They run over and decide to save her not knowing what trouble she could be bringing to their door…..UHM yeah it’s a lot of trouble.  LOL

The red headed women awakens and is clueless who she is or why she was dumped.  The team takes her in but yeah Reyna is not thrilled, and neither is Knox.  The humans decide to work and see if the woman remembers stuff.  Slowly she remembers her name and her pet shows up too….kinda sus but hey ok.  When the big twists start to unravel it was insane and soooooo good.

Legit I was loving all that we learn about Callie.  Her relationship with Knox was actually pretty hilarious as well.  They really were enemies to lovers in the best way and the way it mirrors her family….Chef’s Kiss…I loved it so much.

For real I need the next book like today at 5PM!!!  LOL

Author H.R. Savage started reading romance at an age that made her father cringe as she tried to hide the cover behind her hands. Due to the encouragement of her English teachers at her small town school in La Verne, California, her love for the art of writing only grew and blossomed. Now a woman who swears by the power of coffee, Chinese food, and wine (not necessarily in that order), she decided it was time to create stories from the characters in her head.

When she isn’t writing, outlining, or pinning pictures of hot ‘character inspirations’ on Pinterest™, she is spending time with her three beautiful children and handsome hubby at their home in Southern California

Slap Shot (Lauderdale Knights Book 1) by [Kat Mizera]

Welcome to Fort Lauderdale—where the days are hot and the Knights are hotter…

Vaughn:
I might be at the top of my game, but a fresh start feels like the right move at this stage of my career. Joining the Lauderdale Knights has been a great decision, and I’m ready to win this city over.

On opening night the crowd goes wild… and so does my slap shot. Knocking a fan unconscious wasn’t the introduction I envisioned. Especially when I lay eyes on my gorgeous victim. Problem is… she’s engaged.

Juliet:
Waking up with a concussion and amnesia has made me realize that when it comes to living life on my terms, it’s now or never. My big Italian family means well, but it’s time for them to stop calling the shots.

Now if I could just get rid of my fiancé, quit my job, and stop drooling over the hottie hockey player who knocked some sense into me, life would be perfect. Except nothing in my life is perfect… not even Lauderdale’s newest MVP.

USA Today Bestselling author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast.

Kat’s a typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max). When she’s not writing, she’s either scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible. She hopes to retire there one day so she can spend her days writing books on the beach.

As you can guess from her series, the Las Vegas Sidewinders, Kat loves hockey. She is also a freelance hockey writer, covering her favorite team, the Florida Panthers, and any other teams that have an interesting story. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance…

#MM #BDSM #DaddyDom #AgeGap #teacherStudent – DISCIPLINARY ACTION by Onley James

Leave a comment

LEOPOLD GIDEON spent his childhood as the poor kid in a rich school until he met an older man who took him under his wing and into his bed, teaching him to not only survive but thrive among the elite and to never submit to anybody…except him. For fifteen years, Gideon had everything, but then tragedy strikes, leaving him alone once again.

CALLUM WHYTE was raised with every conceivable luxury but one: loving parents. When his father is indicted for federal crimes and his assets frozen, Cal has to learn to survive with nothing. When a friend offers him money to spend the night with the hot older man they all call Daddy, Cal has no choice but to say yes or literally risk going without medication he needs to stay alive.

One night with Daddy Gideon leaves Cal’s head spinning and his body longing for something he never thought he’d want: discipline. Too bad Gideon never plays with the same boy twice, not even ones who beg as sweetly as Cal.

Just when Cal thinks all hope is lost, he discovers Gideon is the new headmaster for his school, leading him to devise a plan to get what he wants by blackmailing the older man into spending the next six weeks with him. But Cal is about to learn it doesn’t pay to blackmail someone who doles out his punishments.

Will this battle of wills end in a ceasefire or heartbreak?

This book contains BDSM, Daddy Dom, Age-Gap, Teacher/Student and Domestic Discipline and is complete at 70,000 words with no cliffhanger and a HEA.

Review by Twinsie Dee

I bought this book and this is my honest opinion

Can sparks still fly when its been years since your heart up and left after graduation without so much as an explanation? Mitch always wondered that when his high school sweetheart left him and move to Chicago without a word, but now that she was back in Mason Creek and they have avoided each other for a year he finally bit the bullet and walking into the coffee shop when she was there. Faith had a hard time with life when she left Mason Creek she started having panic attack and ended up finding help in Chicago. She ended up married to a narcissist who played into her anxiety and ended up pregnant, after her husband died she decided it was time to move back home, she packed up her and her daughter moved home bought a house and the local salon. When Faith and Mitch finally get face to face are will their past history bring them back together or will the pain from when she left the first time leave them apart.

She’s a single mom. He’s her sexy cowboy neighbor. Will he be able to break through her guarded heart?

When I move next door to a sexy cowboy, I know right away that he’s trouble. I won’t fall for his charms, though. My priority is keeping my son safe and starting fresh in this new town.

Levi keeps on knocking on my door, though, showing me what life could be like if I let my guard down. I’ve dealt with my share of Casanovas, but this one is different, and I’m tempted to explore what lies deeper than a cowboy hat.

But when everything gets turned upside down, I realize that a woman like me doesn’t always get her happy ending.

Review by Twinsie Dee

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

Camille is a single mom to a very energetic 4 year old, who came to Mason Creek to get out of the town that holds her past and everyone was judging her. She needed a fresh start where no one knew her past, and she is your typical mama bear who is going to do anything to protect her son. Levi your sexy cowboy neighbor tries to do a little flirting with his new neighbor but she isn’t falling for it. Levi is sort of use to women giving into his flirty nature but he isnt the playboy that Camille think he is. When it comes to being the new girl in town Camille has to learn that everyone in Mason Creek is willing to help out for no price at all it wanting to be helpful. Will this new girl ride off into the sunset with this cowboy or will he get his heart pounded in the mud. Oh wow this was a great story but it hit way to close to my heart I’m a single mom to my own son and i felt everything that Camille was feeling and worried about, maybe one day ill find my Casanova but then again I’m ok with being single lol. 

I am an indie author who writes contemporary romance and women’s fiction. You’ll often find southern gentleman in my books and a love for country music. Coffee fiend and star gazer

Leave a comment

Preacher Girl: Steel MC Montana Charter, Book 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.

Goodreads

Review by Twinsie Melinda

I purchased the eBook from amazon.

I think I found my steel MC mountain charter guy. Yes that’s right I want Hack.

Hannah is 18 and in a religious cult. When she reaches out for help, she is about to be married off to her uncle who is old enough to be her grandfather. Hack sees Hannah’s post for help on the internet and he is determined to save her from this marriage and life.

Hannah and Hack live drastically different lives. Hannah is the pure religious girl and Hack is the biker and well his name says the rest. Somehow these two mesh together.

The steels are amazing people not only the guys but the females behind them. These ladies are strong and all have their own stories but the way they accept, support and encourage Hannah is heartwarming. They all encourage her to do what she wants not what she thinks is expected of her. Hannah has only known do what you’re told and no thinking for yourself. Now she is out and the world has opened up to her anything is possible.

Hack is my favorite so far Hannah even has a place in my heart I love this series and I cannot wait to read Lil’ Bit and Baldy.

Outcast: A Rejected Mate Shifter Romance (The Pack Prophecy Book 1) by [R.L. Caulder]

“The arrival of the Prophetess will bring both hope and destruction for the wolves of the world.

She alone will be able to save them–or damn them.”

The dark prophecy that has been passed down since the first pack of shifters is coming to fruition– and I am at the center of it.

An orphaned human taken in by a pack of wolves. The fate of their existence in my hands.

I’ve been treated as the dirt beneath the pack’s paws for years.

Will they be able to accept my new role when my powers surface? Will I be able to forgive them enough to help them?

The bright spot amongst all the turmoil…finding my three fated. Until one of them rejects our bond.

The one thing I know for sure…death is coming for us all, soon, and the person responsible for it? Their betrayal is going to alter the shifter world forever.

I’ll conquer my powers, protect the packs, and live happily ever after with my men, right?

Wrong.

No one is prepared for the vile truths of my visions to come to light.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book and audio,

The narration of the story *Chef’s Kiss* was absolutely perfect.  Heather and Jeffrey brought the characters to life 110%.  I will be honest in that I LOVE Jeffrey’s audio and when I see his name, I am super excited.

I grabbed this book because R. L. Caulder will be attending a book signing I am going too. She has so many books to pick BUT this one had audio.  It was the winner.  I gotta admit chance is why I grabbed the book, but I am so addicted to Kira and her men.

I loved the fact this book was kinda a shifter’s version of Cinderella…I mean she is a gross human the Alpha and his wife, Maya, took in.  But once the Alpha’s mate was killed by daimoma, he blames her and is keeping her in misery to punish her.

Kira had only known happiness the few years she was with Jameson and his mother, Maya.  Once Maya was killed she was only bullied and teases horrible by all the wolves in the pack  Jameson and Sophia were the worst ones to her.  There was only one bright spot in her day. Milo always would protect her.  He has made it clear he has feelings for her, but she knows once the full moon hits when he turns 21 just like the rest of the pack, he will find his mate and forget her.  She guards her heart and hopes one day she can find happiness too.

The closer the pack comes to the next full moon, Kira notices Seth, Jameson’s bestie, looking at her like a pork chop.  She is angry that NOW he admits he has feelings.  Sorry Seth not happening.  Kira does as she is always expected to do when the full moon hits and everyone changes….even KIRA!!!???  Milo, Seth, AND Jameson all run to her because they feel the pull to their “Fated Mate”.  The wolves all see who for her she is but the men have issue except Milo.  Seth soon realizes he needs to listen to his wolf but Jameson…well he is a dick.  Mega dick who is so blinded with hatred for Kira.

Kira soon learns she is has the powers to save the shifters but a cliffy happens when she soon discovers what is happening and who is leading the daimoma.

I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!
