The Legacy's Origin: Dalais Clan's Fate (Enduring Legacy Book 1) by [Brower, Dawn, Legacy, Enduring]

What makes a person a witch?
For those living in sixteenth century Scotland the very word witch is terrifying. Everyone is afraid of witches, both to be accused of one, and to be cursed by one. In a series of events beyond their control one family faces their ultimate fear and the consequences they can’t escape.
The very idea of witchcraft becomes all too real for the Dalais family. Caitrìona Dalais Guaire, Sorcha Dalais Creag, and Niall Dalais are torn from their homes and put on trial. Their very lives are at stake, and everything points to their eventual demise.
In an act of desperation one of them arranges for the children to be secreted away to safety. Only time will tell if they are successful and if their legacy will live on…

Goodreads

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

Oh sister!!  This book is an amazing jump into a series of books that will all be based off the family of witches centered in this story.

This is a crazy look at how absurd times were during the witch trials and any wrong move can land you being labeled a witch.  Your entire family is then subjected to torture and then death whether you admit or not to being a witch.  This is such a such  horrible part of true culture.

This story is about a family who tried to help out another but is then marked withes.  We see the witches trying to save their family, so they will endure and their bloodline will stay alive.

If you like witches or the Salem Witch Trials, then this is a book for you to give a try. The backstory of this family is short and sweet but just enough to get you to want even more.

USA TODAY Bestselling author, DAWN BROWER writes both historical and contemporary romance. There are always stories inside her head; she just never thought she could make them come to life. That creativity has finally found an outlet.

Growing up she was the only girl out of six children. She is a single mother of two teenage boys; there is never a dull moment in her life. Reading books is her favorite hobby and she loves all genres.

There’s two sides to every story…
And ours? Isn’t pretty…
Then again, what’s pretty about the mafia?
Trace Rooks, that’s what.
But she only wants one of us, and I’ll kill him before I let him have her.
The only problem?
We’re cousins.
And she may just be our long lost enemy.
Whoever said college was hard, clearly didn’t attend Eagle Elite University.
Welcome to hell also known as the Mafia where blood is thicker than life, and to keep yours? Well, keep your friends close, and your enemies?
Even closer..

Ever heard there is two sides to every story? Well this is the other side of the story…. they guys side of the story. In book 1 it is Trace POV now is time for For the guys POV. I figured it would be Nixon made Chases POV but no,it was all the guys. I loved that we got a glimpse into all their heads.

I would get so pissed at the guys when they were nice one second and so cruel the next to Trace. This was a great addition that filled in the why the hell did they do that moments.

If I would have known what was going threw the guys head from the start I may not have been so aggravated at them. I am going to,end here because I don’t want to,give anything away. I will say brilliant move Rachel Van Dyken brilliant.

Stand Alone Prequel to the Eagle Elite Series

In the mafia…only the strong survive.
Joyce loves Luca.
Luca loves Joyce.
Frank loves his family and will do anything to protect it, even if it means taking away his brothers reason for existing.
Falling, only takes one step, one movement of the chess piece, and in Joyce’s fall she took more than just one heart with her. Go back to the beginning where the drama of the Elect all starts.
Go back to the first part of the story.
Where true love tried to conquer all.
Where true love…failed.

What happens when two brothers fall in love with the same woman? A whole lot of drama begins for the two patriarchs of the family. One brother loves the girl and the girl loves him but to the other brother is willing to take the girl to make his brother into the man he needs to be for the family. Which brother will end up with the girl?

This was a Novella that packed a punch and left tears in my eyes. I enjoyed seeing what happened in the beginning and get more back ground on Luca, Frank and Joyce.

#Review #Mafia- Professional Liar by Monica Corwin @Monica_Corwin

Professional Liar

My sister Bianca and I have two rules governing the dispensation of our trust funds.

One. I get married first.
Two. She gets married second.

Neither of us will see a penny until we are both “properly cared for.” My father had a terrible sense of humor.

I turn to the only man who can help me. Even when the last time I saw him he said he hated me. Even when I love him as much as I loathe him. Even when he’s all wrong.

Liar. Thief. Killer.

Those are just a few words whispered about him in back alleys. To me he’s Pierce, to everyone else, he’s Pierson St. James, local mobster and second in charge of the infamous Wild Dogs.

He may be disreputable, but desperation calls for extreme measures. A long time ago, he promised to marry me. Now I’m going to hold him to that promise.

And we are both going to regret it.

This isn’t your high school Shakespeare…and you’ve never read The Taming of the Shrew like this.

This is a standalone romance with alpha heroes, alpha heroines, and a whole lot of foul language.

Goodreads

I purchased this book.

Ok so I was at a book convention when I saw this author’s banner.  The covers to all of her books were stunning.  I had to take a better look.  I opened her Goodreads Page and read all her blurbs.  THIS blurb stood out the most, but the others made me go HRMMMMM too.    I ran to her table and grabbed Pierce.  I happily sat down in the hotel room and devoured this book.  Pierce…shut the hell up…sexy as hell and sweet as hell too.  If Kat doesn’t realize how lucky she is I’mma have ta smack her upside her dang head!!!

Ok so Kat and Pierce have had a roller coaster of a love life for on and off the past 10 years.  They are both in mafia families, however, their families are definitely very different in protecting their own.  When Kat finds out she has to get married, she runs to the only man she has ever loved and begs him to go along with it.

Pierce has loved Kat, The Shrew, forever.  When he sees her coming to him in desperation he is angry, but once he realizes he can have the woman of his dreams forever….he jumps.

Pierce is the silent hero of this book.  He is the quiet calm Kat needs.  I was a bit stunned to learn what his family does for a living because he is most definitely an Anit-Hero but I still loved him.  Kat is so thrown by the way her family and his family are run.  She is a bit outta her comfort zone for sure with how caring they all are and how they back each other 110%.

When Pierce, Kat and her sister become the targets of a Mafia coup, Kat will do anything to keep the ones she loves safe even if it means breaking her heart in the process.

I would love love love to get more from these two even if it is a book about Bianca because she is hilarious!

#BlogTour #NewRelease – A Thousand Reasons by Mariah Dietz

A Thousand Reasons

My life is like a coin.
There are two sides.

On one side, I am Leela Walsh: daughter, sister, employee at three minimum-wage jobs.
I cook. Do laundry. Contribute to the debt my family is sinking in.

On the second side, I am Leela Walsh: Straight-A student, top graduate of my class, med student.
No one knows of my brother’s sordid past. My sister’s poor decisions. Or that I’m the first in my family to graduate high school.

The balance between these two sides is nearly impossible to maintain. And it only becomes more difficult when I meet Wes McCleary.

He’s never had a job. Never wanted for anything.
And now, he wants me.

He was my best friend.
Until he became my enemy.
All within the span of one night.
Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang.
The rapid fire of gunshots became the soundtrack to my life.
This is the Mafia. Lines are blurred. Choices are never black and white. And the life you thought you knew is… one giant lie.
He was dead.
And I didn’t want his life to be in vain, so I tried to make something of myself. I tried and failed.
Now he’s back. Alive. And he wants something…
Me.
Nobody ever said the mafia played fair.
Welcome to The Family.

Audio review

This was narrated by Caitlin Davies and Rock Engle they did a great job. They kept my attention and drew me into the story and didn’t want to press pause.

This is Axton Abandonato and Amy De Lange story. Ax was Amy’s safe haven from her father when she was younger. Her world was turned up side down with a Bang Bang. Amy lost her best friend and safe haven forever. She was dumped into the foster care. She was trying to make ends meet complete college. When she came face to face with a ghost.

Ax has always loved Amy but was pulled away from her lies and deceit kept him from her. He was in hiding like his brother Sergio until his number came up with the bosses. Things were different within the families all being run by new bosses and running cohesively by all. Ax found himself on the way to get his Amy.

We get to see a little more of Nixon, Chase, Tex, Mo, Sergio, and Phoenix in this book. Oh what the bosses do for Amy at the wedding made me tear up. I enjoyed seeing them all again and learning more of Ax and Amy. The chemistry between Ax and Amy was great. There was enough sexual tension to heat up the room. This book is listed as a stand alone but it helps to know and understand who the bosses and Sergio are and why they are like they are. My suggestion is to read at least the first 4 books (Elite, Elect, Entice, ant Elicit) prior to this one.

#Review – Ashenland (Love Through the Sands of Time, #1) by Gianna Scannell

Leave a comment

Ashenland (Love Through the Sands of Time, #1)

It is the year 1197 BC in Troy of the Dardanelles.
Calypso is seventeen, mistrusting and mischievous. She should be; she’s a princess. She hates her town and everything in it, and dreams to one day fly away from there. She hates royal chores and responsibilities and wants nothing to do with it, but on her death bed her mother makes Calypso promise that the rebellious princess will care for her dad and her people. Uncapable to fulfill her pledge, Calypso plunges into deep depression. She’s on the verge of suicide when, one night, a fiery snake flies over her city and burns it to the ground. Alone, confused and scared, tears streaking her soot-plastered face, Calypso invokes her dead mother now understanding how much she really loved everyone she has lost.

Mother Earth hears her, and standing on the ashes of the burnt city the two forge a pact. Calypso and her father will live, but she must not fall in love, marry or have children. She must find and bring back from the future a special person, a boy who loves ancient Earth. With his help, the princess will have a chance to change the destiny of the people she once despised.

Daniel Hiempsal is also seventeen, and has a passion. He studies ancient climates with the guide of his father, a famous archaeologist. A vision comes to him, in the shape of a girl, and she asks that he follow her to her past. Temptation is great; he could see with his own eyes the world he loves so much. But when Calypso returns to Troy with Daniel, time travel has turned him into a ghost.

Daniel is not a common ghost, like, say, a ghost from the past who has gone through some horrific ordeal and finds himself undead. No, Daniel is a ghost from the future, who carries in his brain information unheard of in the Bronze Age, and he sure needs all of his wits if he wants to make it through this neck-breaking, dizzying adventure and return to his normal times.

Started on a bad note and with a lot of mistrust and insecurities, the relationship between Daniel and Calypso slowly blossoms. In the end, they forge a friendship that overcomes the barriers of space and time.

I won this book through a Goodreads giveaway.

 

This is a story where the past and the future collide, literally. Calypso is the princess of Troy and she is a spoiled princess at that. Extreme tragedy starts when her mother, lying on her death bed, makes Calypso promise to take care of her father and her people. Next thing you know her whole world is being destroyed by a huge fiery snake. Her village is burned and destroyed. With very little life left, she calls on the gods, Mother Earth specifically, to help her. She is sent on a quest to go to the future to find Hiempsal and bring him back to help free Mother Earth. She is unhappy as no one believes in her anymore. The journey takes Calypso to the future to Daniel and then back to her time and on the quest to save the world. The journey leads them into lands with extreme prejudices and some full of love. The relationship between Daniel and Calypso is fun and eye opening. They have a connection that at the end will bring a tear to your eye. This story is full of history and gods of the past with an amazing tale of friendship. A fun story!

She wrote Ashenland after years of education about the Bronze Age, particularly about the people who inhabited Asia Minor during the Bronze Age.

Born to It: Hellions Motorcycle Club (Hellions Ride On Book 1) by [Camaron, Chelsea]

Enemies to lovers, this is one passion fueled ride … are you ready?

BW-

Third generation Hellions MC patched member—earned never given.
I’m the son of Talon “Tripp” Crews and namesake to my grandfather Blaine “Roundman” Reklinger.
I was born to wear this cut, to take this ride.
I am Blaine “BW” Crews.
I deal in motorcycles, money, and mayhem.

Karsci-

I wasn’t born a killer. I was made into one. Earn my place on my back or by my blade … I choose option two.
I am Karsci “Fox” Sheridan.
I deal in death, dollars, and destruction.

When she’s pulled into his world, they have one choice—end each other or hang on for the ride.

*This book contains mature content not suitable for readers under the age of 18. Content includes strong language, violence, and sexual situations. All parties portrayed in sexual situations are over the age of 18. This book is not meant to be an exact depiction of life in a motorcycle club, but rather a work of fiction meant to entertain.

Goodreads

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

Oh Snap BW gets a book and hell if his future Ol’ Lady isn’t just the sass he needs.

Blaine AKA BW wears the name he has with pride.  He was named after the original president who is also his grandfather.  He knows there are a lot of expectations with being a patched member, but he fully embraces this life and what goes with it.  Just like his mom, Doll, and his dad who is the current President, Tripp, he is ready for the life, love and loyalty that is with the club brothers and their families.  His life is all about honor and doing the right things for people until you do his wrong to his family then look the EFF out!!

Karsci AKA Fox is doing what she can to survive.  She will not show emotion and will do what the job is to finally be clear of her debt.  She is owned and will do anything to make it through the last of her jobs to finally be free.  When she runs into BW at a street car hot rod show, she is stunned stupid at the attraction but also the fact he is do KIND.  In her world kindness is not expected.  Nothing is done for free….NOTHING!!

As the story progresses we know Fox has a job and we see the conflict start to arise because her feelings for BW and his family are making her weak.  When the twist is revealed, all her secrets come tumbling out of the closet, her and BW are at odds.  But just like the Hellions do, they rally to protect and support their own and Fox.

I loved the new spin off and if you haven’t read the original series, no worries because you get a quick peak at the history when each character is introduced.  I gotta say I am DYING for Dia’s book.  She is gonna be one hell of a handful for her intended and her family!!!

 

USA Today Bestselling Author Chelsea Camaron was born and raised in Coastal North Carolina. She currently resides in Southern Louisiana with her husband and two children but her heart is always Carolina day dreaming.

Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice.

Chelsea grew up turning wrenches alongside her father, and from that grew her love for old muscle cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which just so happened to inspired her ‘Daddy’s Girls’ series. Her love for reading has sparked a new love for writing and she currently has a few more projects in the works.

When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in.

She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.

#WOTR18 – #Review – Karma’s Revenge by Teresa Gabelman

Leave a comment

 

Karma's Revenge

 

In a world where human’s and vampires coexist, one woman with only one name and a score to settle has a hefty price on her head. She call’s herself Karma, other’s called her the Slayer of Vampires. Karma didn’t care what she was called as long as she got her revenge.

Axel Walker, also known as the Assassin, was a half-breed so his loyalty lay with the highest bidder. Who had the most money to hand him at the end of a job was the side he was on whether human or vampire. His highest pay day was yet to come and all he had to do was kill the one they call the Slayer of Vampires.

The Slayer and the Assassin become players in a tangled web of deceit. It is Karma and Axel who have to decide whether killing each other is the best plan of action or joining forces to take out those who dare make them pawns in their dangerous games.

 

Goodreads

 

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

 

Slayer of Vampires plus Assassin equals KARMA! And Karma can be a…..well, I’ll let you fill in the blank, LOL!

 

Sophia is human and has revenge in her blood with the incredible need to avenge her sister’s death. She has been dubbed the Slayer of Vampires as she has slayed several vamps in her search for the one they call Savior. Axel is an Assassin with a special set of skills. He is on the side of the highest bidder and takes the bid to assassinate the Slayer of Vampires. Although, when he is watching the slayer he realizes that she is in fact a woman and rescinds his original acceptance of the job. This is where things go from bad to worse. Sophia has to protect herself and her bestie, Darin (who is a drag queen and is super hilarious!) but Axel is able to find them. Now seeing that they all have hits out on them they have to get over their trust issues and either join the same team or kill each other. As the twists and turns unfold in the story you will be sucked in and won’t be able to put the book down. It is full of sarcasm with snarky comments and come backs and full of angst that will have you fanning yourself before long. This is an amazing world where vampires and humans co-exist but still with prejudices and illegal dealings. The characters are great to get to know with a strong female lead whose strength is kind of dormant but grows exponentially as the action unfolds. This is a fast paced story full of snark and action. A must read!

#WOTR18 – #REVIEW – Rules of Protection (Tangled in Texas #1) by Alison Bliss

Rules of Protection (Tangled in Texas, #1)

 

It’s rule breaker Emily Foster’s birthday, and like everyone at The Jungle Room, she just wants to get some action. Unfortunately, she stumbles on the wrong kind, witnessing a mob hit. To protect her, she’s entered into the Witness Protection Program with by-the-book Special Agent Jake Ward as her chaperone.

When the location of their safe house is compromised, Jake stashes Emily deep in the Texas backwoods. The city-girl might be safe from the Mafia, but she has to contend with a psychotic rooster, a narcoleptic dog, crazy cowboys, and the danger of losing her heart to the one man she can’t have.

Jake’s as hot as he is infuriating, and she can’t help but push all his buttons to loosen him up. Their mutual, sizzling sexual attraction poses a dilemma: Jake’s determined to keep her safe and out of the wrong hands; she’s determined to get into the right ones—his.

Each book in the Tangled in Texas series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order.

Oh holy hell! I am going to try and put into words, ever so graciously, what this book did to me. This story had me giving an eye roll at the beginning to the slimy freak that was hitting on Emily, to fanning myself and laughing at the kiss and arrogance of Jake who is trying to help Emily out with the slimeball, then squirming in my seat yelling “RUN!” to Emily when she witnesses a brutal murder. THIS ALL HAPPENED AT THE VERY BEGINNING! What a way to start a story! I was stuck at this point. Very invested and couldn’t put this book down. Turns out Jake works for the FBI and is trying to take this murderer down but now has to save Emily and put her in witness protection for her safety. These two are both hawt and absolutely attracted to each other but no matter what, things go from bad to worse. There is a leak and the safe house has been compromised. Jake goes “rogue” and takes Emily to stay with his family in the boonies in Texas. The angst between these two is INTENSE! Jake has morals and the job comes first but Emily is slowly wearing him down. As with most stories our two main characters carry a ton of baggage. Emily has her reasons and is very stubborn and always a live in the moment type of person. She goes for what she wants and when she wants it. And if it doesn’t pan out she moves on. This personality really bumps heads with Jake who is very rule oriented and very by the book trying to protect her. As with most relationships when we argue things are said that we don’t necessarily mean but these two are under so much stress with all the craziness that is going on that things get crazy between the two. She is super stubborn and just wants to go back to the way things were before the murder but Jake is realistic and has to push her back to make her see reason. These two are constantly going back and forth getting under each other skins and trying to get into bed with one another. And all of the supporting characters from Emily’s friends Dale and Gina to Jake’s aunt and uncle and all of his childhood friends makes for an super funny and super eventful story. I absolutely recommend Tangled in Texas to everyone and am looking forward to reading the second. Alison Bliss is a new author to me and I am tangled up this story!
