#WOTR22 #TwinsieforthedayJulia #WOTRMommaJulia #Review – Being Us by JM Walker

Tanner-
She was beautiful.
Loved.
Strong.
After hiding away for six months with just my dog to keep me company, I was forced out of the shadows only to end up in the arms of an enemy.
Beatrix Lister saved my life. I had been taking care of myself for so long, I didn’t know how to ask for help, but she refused to go down without a fight.
She was warm where I was frigid.
She was kind and caring where I was a cold-blooded monster.
I did things to survive.
I battled the evils of the world to live.
I didn’t deserve her heart but fell in love with her anyway.
As much as I wanted to be with her, I needed answers and I would do anything to get them.
Even if it meant breaking the heart of the only woman I had ever loved.
~
-Bee-
He was lonely.
Intense.
Brave.
Tanner Horsch came into my life unexpectedly. He was like a tornado, ripping up everything in its path.
There was something about him that I craved.
His touch. His words. His need to survive.
But as we were getting to know each other, he still had walls up.
He refused to let me in knowing my family didn’t approve of him.
I refused to let him go.
After being in the wrong place at the wrong time, he escaped and eventually he ran right into my arms.
He was the villain of someone else’s story, but he was the hero of mine.
I just prayed that he could see that not all monsters are truly evil.
Before it was too late, and he gave himself to the enemy.
My family.

Beatrix or Bee or Johnny and now Busy, brought up by an over protective group of people, that are her fathers friends, never can catch a break! After her cousins drag her out of bar, while she’s having a night out with her girls and drop her off at home, well what’s a girl to do? Save a guy in her backyard, whose been stabbed? Sure why not! Tanner is in hiding, because he saw something, he shouldn’t have. As the leader of a rival Biker club, he knew he was setup for a fall! So after his dog was stabbed and killed he had to run again. Tanner doesn’t no where to turn, so he went to the rival club, big risk or salvation? But for Busy, he’d do anything! She’s the only one who has ever made him feel this way, ways he’s never thought he could! While the story is a stand alone, I loved how it tied up loose ends for another couple, Tanner had a horrible past, that he finally had someone he could trust enough to share with, no judgement, not pity. just there for him! A must read story, by a must read Author J.M Walker!

Davis has always had an interest in Lauren, but as the most difficult Sub at the club, she’s hard to pin down. They both have their play partners, but no one that is theirs. No one can claim Lauren, until she needs help. Davis will help her but on his terms, and she has to do what he tells her, or all bets are off. Pretty tall order for Hurricane Lauren who doesn’t follow rules! But she does need Davis’s protection, And in the process, they also save another. I loved this story, and would recommend the whole series that get’s you to this point!

Hello, and welcome to my site. I’m Dakota, an author of erotic romance (think 50 Shades of Gray – but better) and paranormal erotica. And what exactly does that mean? Well, since I’ve always marched to the beat of different drum: it means that I get to take my unique life experiences – like putting around in the garage with my dad, or driving a train when I was ten, to create worlds where the heroines aren’t necessarily June Clever, but are strong independent women who may stand on their own two feet, but long to submit to the right man. Whether it’s two friends who realize there is more than friendship between them or the sexy alien who captures his unwilling slave’s heart, sparks fly between them. My imagination has no bounds or at least none I’ve found yet!

Review by WOTR Momma Julia with permission from her daughter Madi.

Smoking Hot series starter for Miranda Lynn will not disappoint! Kat has been hiding with Mack and Casey’s pack for a year, she’s safe here. Helping other pack mates heal and be productive. When Leo shows up, who is going to help her. Both have their lions locked in cages, for different reasons, but still locked up, to keep them safe, hidden. Kat is in hiding from a horrible childhood, and a bad deal, from her father. Leo is protecting a brother, who is alpha of his pack, because he really had no interest. These two learn to trust each other to become true mates. I haven’t read a paranormal story in awhile, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Looking forward to the next one!

Escaping reality one book at a time has been Miranda’s motto since she learned to read. As an only child raised on a dairy farm her creative imagination brought words to life. She devoured more books growing up than her little town bookmobile could handle. It was inevitable that she would turn from reading them to writing them. This is her way to help not only herself but others escape the day to day drudge. Her books may take you on a journey through time, give you a look inside a fantasy realm, or delve into the magic of almost anything paranormal. Threading in heart stopping romance and dropping an occasional super sexy scene just to keep you on your toes.
Miranda’s stories are focused around strong female leads and sexy males who appreciate them. She strives to encourage her readers that they can have it all in real life too.
You can find her most days either subbing at the local high school or tucked away in her office working on the next story with a cup of java in her hand. She loves connecting with her readers online as well as in real life so make sure to find her on Facebook and check out where she will be signing throughout the year on her website.

Eli's Little Easter : Holidays at Rawhide Ranch Book 7 by [Dakota  Trace , Rawhide  Authors, AllyCat’s  Creations]

The youngest son of the Atheron family, Elias has been a huge disappointment to his overbearing parents, particularly his mother. He’s done everything right, including relocating to another state to head up the office in the newest addition to the family party business, but it still never seems enough. She now wants him to come home for Easter, to reunite with an old flame, which he refuses to do. This Easter he has the chance to make Little Delights, his own party planning service for Littles, into the premier party planning service for the age-play community. Derek Hawkins has hired him to plan an Easter Jamboree for his Little girl and the rest of the Littles who call the Rawhide Ranch their home.

Willem William is the past the age of playing. As the financial adviser for the Rawhide Ranch, he spends his days studying spreadsheets, trends, and making suggestions to secure the future of the Hawkins family. Nearing his golden birthday, he assumes his dream of having his own Little is just that. Which is why he never expects the boy to walk into his life under the guise of an accident-prone party planner. But once he catches a glimpse of the Little boy Eli tries to hide, he’s smitten. Now all he has to do is convince Eli that what he needs is a good old-fashioned daddy for Easter.

Publisher Note: this is a slow burn where a determined Daddy meets the shy Little meant to be his. If age play, moonlight trips to the park and spanking/discipline are not your thing, please don’t buy this book.

#WOTR21 #TwinsieForTheDayPolly #Review #Paranormal – The Maiden:Revelations by Kristine Plum

For most of her life Ryen Cardona has known exactly who she is and what responsibilities her future holds. She welcomes them, revels in them. To the outside world Ryen Cardona is a confident, intelligent acquisitions agent for the European Arts Council, traveling between Europe’s most famous museums, collecting pieces, and planning fundraisers, but at the end of the day that life is a ruse. Ryen Cardona is a witch, quite possibly the most powerful witch the world has seen, but most people don’t even know that witches, real witches, with powers, exist. But Ryen isn’t just any witch. She’s the Maiden of the Universal Coven, the ruling body of all witches, and the one thing she despises and fears more than anything is vampires.


Cash Di Marco, unwilling heir to a centuries old Italian estate, is successful in his own right. He has defied his powerful mother to become a rising night club mogul. Loved by the paparazzi, he shamelessly enjoys all of the perks of being the epitome of a playboy bachelor. Providing him with fresh conquests each night, his business also offers an endless supply of blood, a necessity for Cash since he is also a vampire. Cash dreams of owning night clubs around the world to where not only the unknowing human patrons flock, but also where his vampire clientele can drink discreetly and safely.
Fate interferes with the plans they have for their lives when Cash and Ryen’s paths cross. Both of their lives are turned upside down as beauty and chaos unfold

Review by Polly

Just a little note – this book does end in a cliffhanger, so it’s a good thing book two is out!

The genre of Fantasy is not my usual go-to and wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I started reading this book. Holy cow was I in for a ride! The story of Ryen Cardona (a witch) and Cash Di Marco (a vampire) had me sitting on the edge of my seat!

I absolutely love Ryen and Cash and the fact that fate has decided that these two characters need to be soul mates. But, can they?

Ryen Cardona is a witch and just not a witch, she is the Maiden of the Universal Coven and she hates vampires! A relationship is not something that is on her radar at the moment. She has a busy schedule being an acquisitions agent by day, most powerful witch by night!

Cash Di Marco is a night club mogul/playboy trying not get caught up in his family fortune and duties. Witches are not really his thing…except to maybe grab a “bite” from.

The book is packed with intrigue and romance, witches and vampires! Love, love, love the push and pull between Ryen and Cash! Their story is full of passion and pain, love and hate!

And the ending! Please….you cannot leave us hanging like that! Good thing book two is out or I would be in a total book hangover!

Growing up in rural Central Iowa, where the closest neighbor was at least 1/2 a mile down the gravel road and her brothers being 7 & 10 years older, gave Kristine plenty of opportunities to use and hone her imagination. From acting out stories with her Barbies, to pretending she was being held captive and guarded by vicious dogs (aka puppies her dad raised), she found ways to entertain herself.
Now she is living in the sprawling metropolis of Cedar Rapids, spending her days teaching high school Spanish and her nights being a wife and mother to a son and furry children. Somewhere she finds a little time here and there to write. Much to her husband’s irritation, her imagination still steals her away to daydreaming about her characters and future stories.
Kristine LOVES reading. She has been reading supernatural/paranormal genres since second grade. Her friends force her to read other genres from time to time, but she prefers a little darkness in her stories. Some of her favorite authors include L.J. Smith, Jeaniene Frost & I.T. Lucas.

#TwinsieForTheDay – Sea of Ruin by Pam Godwin

Sea of Ruin

Bennett Sharp is on the run.

She must escape Ashley’s prison and Priest’s deceit. But can she walk away from their twisted desires?

Two gorgeous captains stand on opposite sides of the law. When they collide in a battle to protect her, the lines blur between enemies and lovers.
Passion heats, secrets unravel, and hearts entangle until they break.
Can love prevail in the sea of ruin?

King of Libertines, a prequel to Sea of Ruin, is only available in Australia: a limited-time romance anthology.

Review by Becky

You sucked me in from the beginning! The emotions felt by Bennett with her father, mother and her love of the sea were raw and real.  It would be years before Bennett would know the truth between her father and mother.  She never saw it coming. As the years past, Bennett was learned and was taught how to captain Jade.  Her strength and perseverance to unlock the compass given to her by her father drove her. Bennett found herself in the arms of Priest and quietly married him.  The strong bind drew the two of the together when life’s events separated them.

Bennett’s physical strength was strong even when she was “captured” by Ashley for her pirating activities after she planned her capture.  Bennett was drawn to Ashley fighting the affection to Ashley with her affection for Priest.  The twists Pam throws you are WOW!

You won’t be disappointed.  You don’t have to be a lover of the historical genre.  Do you enjoy reading about a strong-willed heroine?  Do you like twists and surprises?  Do you like your heroine to be fully satiated?  Then what’s stopping you? Grab your copy of Sea of Ruin!!

New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, their two children, and a foulmouthed parrot. When she ran away, she traveled fourteen countries across five continents, attended three universities, and married the vocalist of her favorite rock band.

Java, tobacco, and dark romance novels are her favorite indulgences, and might be considered more unhealthy than her aversion to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.

Bryce’s world comes crashing down when someone from the outside gets too close. Kathrine is devastated, no longer knowing how her future will go.

Bryce and Kathrine grew up in darkness, surrounded by disappointment, but with pure determination they fought to become better than their parents.

Love was not easy to find and even found it was not easy to accept.

Being locked up was not part of his plans, but sometimes even the mightiest of men fall.

Will Kat be there during his darkest moments or will she choose to move on, remembering what she was taught… that everyone leaves eventually?



Review by Tenise

Bryce’s world comes crashing down when someone from the outside gets too close.
Kathrine is devastated, no longer knowing how her future will go.
Will Kat be there during his darkest moments or will she choose to move on, remembering what she was taught… that everyone leaves eventually?
Wow- where do I even start? I read A LOT and I’ve read more series than I can count. I will tell you one thing though- The Give Me Series is definitely one of the best I’ve ever read. It had happiness, sadness, angst and more. Give Me Forever was all of that and more. It was an edge of your seat thrill ride with plenty of surprises. I loved every page.
This was the conclusion to Bryce and Katherine’s story and oh what a conclusion it was. I got so attached to these two while reading their 3 books, I’m sad it’s over, but I know all good things must come to an end. I just hope they show up in future books so I can get my fix.
I’m looking forward to seeing where Jace’s story goes. Judging by the glimpses we got of him in books 1-3, I feel like he has quite a story to tell.

Paige P. Horne lives in the small town of Gray Georgia with her husband. The two enjoy traveling every little chance they get and binge watching their favorite shows. When she isn’t creating new characters for her readers to fall in love with, you can find her back porch swinging, engrossed in a good book with her dogs at her feet.

#NewRelease #TwinseForTheDayTenise #Review – Give Me Love by Paige P Horne

Give Me Love (Give Me, #1)

A past that connects them and secrets that could destroy them.

Abandoned by her mother at only eight years old, Kathrine Harrison was taught that relying on yourself is the only way. She grew up in chaos, getting abused by her stepdad who reminded her daily that she wasn’t worth loving.

Bryce Grant was used to his dad’s drinking but couldn’t understand why the man was obsessed with a woman who constantly chose drugs over her family. Bryce cared for only one person and did everything he could to keep his brother, Jace, from witnessing just how bad their parents were. Tragedy changes the boys’ lives and sets them on a path they have never envisioned for themselves.

Meeting by chance, Kat and Bryce have no idea how much they have in common and love is not a choice.

Can it change how they see things, or will it destroy the life they’ve worked so hard to maintain?

Review by Tenise

5 STARS! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A past that connects them and secrets that could destroy them. Meeting by chance, Kat and Bryce have no idea how much they have in common and love is not a choice. Can it change how they see things, or will it destroy the life they’ve worked so hard to maintain?
I want to start by saying-before opening this book- I couldn’t get into anything I tried to read. It had been almost a week since I finished my last book and that had taken me almost 2 weeks to read. Well, thanks to Give Me Love, my reading drought is now over. I was addicted to all of the words from the prologue. Give Me Love was full of angst, suspense, and surprises. There was a lot of push and pull between Bryce and Kat. They knew what they wanted, but were afraid to go for it. With past like theirs, I would be afraid, too.
I loved both the H & h throughout the entire book. At a certain point they both kind of ticked me off. I wanted to reach into my kindle; grab them, shake them, and tell them what to do. We all know that is not how this works though. It’s not like the “choose your own adventure” books from grade school where the reader decides the outcome. Haha! Nope- I just had to continue reading and hope things turned out the way I had them planned in my head.
I seriously could not finish this book fast enough, which may have been a mistake on my part. Now I have to impatiently wait for the second book so I can see what will happen next. I am looking forward to the continuation of Bryce and Kat’s story.

Paige P. Horne lives in the small town of Gray Georgia with her husband. The two enjoy traveling every little chance they get and binge watching their favorite shows. When she isn’t creating new characters for her readers to fall in love with, you can find her back porch swinging, engrossed in a good book with her dogs at her feet.

Readers have described her stories as captivating and heartbreakingly beautiful.

Paige pens emotional novels about soulmates and broken love.
She will release a series of four books this year, The Give Me series. Give Me love, Give Me Perfect love, Give Me Forever Love and a fourth which has not yet been named.

Her titles include: Close To Falling, Chasing Fireflies, Chasing Ellie and her latest book which is based on true events: If I’d Known

Sabrina’s Seduction (Love Strictly Tested Book 2) by [Hague, Anna]

Desperate to understand my best friend’s choice to be a submissive to her Dom husband, I decide to study BDSM for my Master’s thesis in Sociology. The very thought of giving up control terrifies me…until my research takes me to a “play party” and I witness Cameron Terry spanking a sub. The striking Dominant’s unassuming power mesmerizes me, exciting me in ways I’ve never known possible while my sheltered and strict upbringing tells me this new desire is immoral. But when at last I plead for what I crave, I struggle on the edge of fear and bliss. Can I change who I’ve always believed myself to be?


Goodreads


Review by Becky

I received the book for my honest review.

I was new to Anna with Book 1 and thoroughly enjoyed Angel’s Collar.  You didn’t disappoint me with Book 2, Sabrina’s Seduction.

Reading how Bri came to crave and enjoy sex on the edge sucked me right in.  What separated Bri and her BFF Emma now had Bri’s girlie parts on fire.  A fire that was lit and taught by the infamous Cameron Terry. Sizzle me girlie parts… wow!

Emma had spilled the secrets of her and Jordan’s “strange to Bri” lifestyle.  And to who….Jessica a very hungry reporter. Bri knew all about Jessica and warned Emma if her misplaced trust.

Anna twisted us around as she told us all about Jessica.  As Bri became enlighten in BDSM by 

Cameron, Anna shows us to be open and non-judgmental in a lifestyle different than the prim and proper lifestyle.  Don’t knock it till you try it.. Oh boy baby did she ever try it and loved it.  

No spoiler here…..I know there’s more to the Cameron/Jordan story. I also know that I can’t wait for Book 3 to get the Jessica scoop.

If you want tingly lady parts or rising cheek color, don’t miss skip over Sabrina’s Seduction!

 

For 25 years, I’ve worked as a sports writer. I decided now was the time to pursue romance fiction as an author. I found a great group of RWA author friends who have helped me tremendously. 
I get great support from my husband, and although they don’t know it, my three parrots and dog give me a huge boost everyday.

#NewRelease #Review #Shifters #Paranormal Twist Of Fate (True Mates Generations Book 1) by Alicia Montgomery

Alicia Montgomery’s True Mates Series continues with a Twist of Fate!

Their orbits were so far apart

They might as well have lived on different planets

He was the son of the clan’s Beta

She was a nobody

But fate had other plans….

 

 I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book

A old enemy returns for a new generation in this new series by Alicia Montgomery.

The children of the True Mates series are all grown up and getting stories of their own!!!

I absolutely love that we are back in New York with the True Mates, it’s like seeing old friends.

Montgomery starts the series with Astrid Jonassin the daughter of Meredith the wolf cat burglar and Daric the once evil turned good mage and Zac Vrost son of the New York clan’s Beta Nick and their human public liaison Cady.

Growing up Zac and Astrid were on the outside of each other’s circles, but that didn’t keep her from having a crush, and as he was older he really didn’t notice her.

Times they are a changing!!!!

Astrid is definitely her mother’s daughter, if you have not read the first series you gotta, she is a restless spirit trying to find her place but she ends up in trouble and has to be punished by the clan’s law and that means working for her mother and Zac’s dad.

Zac and Astrid touch hands for the first time and HELLO it’s  electrifying!!!!!

There is so much going on in their story but the thread that is about Zac and Astrid doesn’t get lost.

Alpha’s are stepping down, new leaders are stepping up, old enemies returning, and lets not forget that True Mates finding each other means BABIES.

I can not wait to see what is in store for this new generation and to see who will find love with who in the pack or if it will be someone new.
