angies review

 

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

This review is for Fiona Archer’s novella.

Oh do I love Fiona’s brooding and alpha males.  Aiden did not disappoint.  I will say I wish that Aiden and Mercy had been given a full novel because I think I could have fallen more in love with him then I did.

This is a great romantic suspense novel with a hint of some BDSM elements.  Aiden is undercover looking for a bad kid who caused another student to overdose when he sees Miss Jones.  She is the English teacher AKA The football coach’s nemesis.

Aiden and Mercy soon start a world wind courtship while Aiden is also trying to find out who the bad guy is.  The plot twist for who is involved was great and I sure didn’t see it coming.  The ending scene banter had me laughing and sad there wasn’t more!!  If you haven’t read any of Fiona’s other works this book will give you a good glimpse into her writing style but lemme tell ya…you need to buy a full book because as good as this book was……her full novels are WAY better!!!

about the author

Fiona Archer

I live in the sunny environs of Sydney, Australia, and share a house with my dog, Letty. Oh, and the flock of cockatoos that take over the back yard each afternoon, demanding their feed of Arnott’s Milk Arrowroot Biscuits. Things get a little noisy around 3.00pm in our household.

My love of romance started back when I was twelve and my mum’s stash of Mills and Boon novels proved too much of a temptation. At fifteen, I decided the life of a romance writer was for me. Some…ah…years later, I’ve clawed together enough gumption to make my dream a reality.

When not sitting in front of the computer, I can be found in the garden or enthralled watching a murder mystery DVD. I limit myself to reading other authors’ work between writing my own stories. Books are my ‘shiny’ distractions.

LICENSE TO SHIFT by Kathy Lyons (October 4, 2016; Forever Yours eBook; $1.99; Grizzlies Gone Wild Book 2)

 The second book in a wild shifter series from USA TODAY bestselling author Kathy Lyons.

synopsis

 Bear meets girl…

 Julie Simon returns to Saginaw, Michigan, to find her ailing father’s missing research on local shapeshifter lore.  Unlucky for her, the only person who can help her is the darkly sexy Mark Robertson, the guy who spent an entire summer giving her the cold shoulder—and one white-hot night of pleasure…

 Mark is a hair’s breadth away from going feral.  Soon, his grizzly side will destroy everything that makes him a man.  And after years of fighting, Mark is ready to give in to the beast.  Then Julie—the gorgeous, curvy book nerd who awakened his most primal desires as a young man—shows up at his door.  Now, he’s fighting an insatiable longing to claim her as his mate.  But Julie isn’t the only one after her father’s research.  Someone—or something—evil is tracking Julie’s every move…

angies review

I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

I loved the first book in the series but if you haven’t read it no worries.  However ,in the first book, we meet Mark and know that he is dangerously close to becoming a feral grizzly. I really loved his grumpy demeanor and was excited to read his story.  I wanted to know how he would be ”saved”.

The story starts out GREAT…Mark on the edge of never coming back when he answers his door stark naked to see HER.  The girl that he has loved and feared since he was 16, Julie.  Julie is not a shifter or from his community but his grizzly has known she was the one for him.

I loved the banter between the two.  Julie perceives his lack of attention to him just being mean when in fact he was scared to death of how she made him feel. I loved how sweet and open Mark was with Julie and how he can get her to be super aggressive when she needs him.

I have to say I am a huge fan of the series and think each book gets better. I CAN NOT WAIT for Alan’s story.  I fee so bad for what happened to him plus the rejection he feels from the one he loves and his grizzly pack.

#ReleaseBlitz #review #MM- Branded by Jenna Galicki

 

Title: Branded
Series: Bulletproof #2
Author: Jenna Galicki
Genre: M/M Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 4, 2016

 

Blurb
It was a chance meeting in paradise that caused them to cross paths. Destiny brought them together.These two alpha males met with the force of a head-on collision. Sirens went off and lit up their hearts faster than a flashfire. But now that they’re living in the real world, everything isn’t as easy as anticipated. Other than their strong-willed and dominant personalities, they couldn’t be more opposite.

As the front man for a world-famous heavy metal band, Brandon Bullet lives in the spotlight. He thrives on the attention of his fans and wild parties that all rock stars are accustomed to.

The free-spirited attitude and uninhibited lifestyle that is so natural to Brandon totally contradicts with Cameron Douglas’ anal-retentive, structured mindset. Spurred on by a thirst for adventure, Cameron’s ready to leave behind his sedate, low-key life, but he’s unprepared for the rock star’s world of free sex, drugs, and non-stop parties.

Concessions aren’t always easy when thrust into a new relationship, especially with two head-strong men who constantly challenge one another. Add time apart from Bulletproof’s promotional tour, and it’s another layer of adjustment to contend with that just may push this new relationship too far.

 

angies review

 

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

AHHH  Cam and Brandon.  Their novella made the pages of my book melt with their chemistry and story book romance.  I was so excited to get a full story for the 2 guys!!  I mean more MM yumminess please!!

So this book is all about the guys trying to make it work one “real life” settles in.  When they met it was vacation and fun but now its responsibilities, insecurities and job stress.  The guys are amazing and I loved them a little bit more in my heart.  I mean how do you not fall in love with them right??

Brandon the rocker and Cam the accountant have issues trying to work through how to keep this love alive and viable with everything else that keeps coming up.  There was a bit where I felt the book angst drug a smidge with them trying to figure out how to make it work between the two of them but it didn’t distract from the story at all.

But if you are a fan of the novella or Jenna’s other series, then you will be happy to one click this hot rocker romance story!!

Excerpt

Cam gave the dog one last pat on the back, then turned his gaze on Brandon. He walked through the long entry hall with a swagger, which is why Brandon remained a good 10 feet away. He pretended it was because he didn’t want to get knocked over by a rambunctious 90-pound Lab, but he really wanted to see Cam’s long legs stride down the hall in that fucking hot as hell business suit. Tonight’s ensemble was navy blue with a lavender tie, which Cam had already loosened, and the top button of his shirt was open. As Cam sauntered closer, Brandon’s eyes kept falling to that sweet spot at the center of Cam’s throat that was peeking out of his shirt collar.

Cam gave Brandon the standard greeting – a rough set of hands holding Brandon’s face still while a thick, hungry tongue told him how much he was missed all day, but Brandon’s thoughts were on Cam’s neck. He grabbed hold of Cam’s wrists and pulled them lower. Cam thought it meant Brandon wanted to be groped, but he just wanted to suck the soft flesh of Cam’s throat.

The moan that echoed in the hallway was a mixture of both Brandon and Cam’s voices, which spun together like a harmonized melody.

 
“Was this my surprise?” Cam asked in wispy voice. “Because I’m not surprised at all that you have this effect on me.”

about the author

While browsing bookstore shelves as a teenager, Lo discovered the erotic writings of Anaïs Nin and A.N. Roquelaure. Certain her mother would not approve, Lo smuggled the books home and squirreled them away in the most likely of places:  under her bed. Late at night, she delved into the sensual worlds both writers created.

 As a co-ed studying biochemistry and genetics at Texas A&M University, Lo dabbled in creating naughty tales to entertain her friends. Study for a midterm or pen a deliciously dirty story to delight her small band of fans? Not surprisingly, Lo is now on an extended sabbatical from college.

Luckily, Lo stumbled onto the world of erotic romance publishers. She realized there were other readers and writers who loved and craved breathtaking romance with the spiciest of love scenes. She took a chance and submitted her first novella. The rest is history.

 Lo lives in Texas with her husband, daughter and big blubbering Great Dane with mommy issues.

Blurb:

“It’s best if we just keep this casual, Dev.”

To feisty, relationship phobic Kate Martin’s utter surprise, she isn’t automatically dismissed as a crackpot when she finally plucks up courage to walk into a police station, revealing what she’s seen in her dreams. But instead of making a simple statement and returning to her nice, quiet life, she finds herself the center of attention from both a psychotic vampire and the ‘investigative specialist’ who would die in order to protect her.

“You’re anything but casual, Kate. I want you and I always get what I want.”

Young women are disappearing across the country and Devon, Regent Vampire Lord of the Midwest, knows his centuries old archenemy has finally resurfaced. A break in his fruitless search is provided by the discovery of a woman who can not only see the missing in her dreams, but who ends up being his Moira, his Destiny. And she couldn’t have stepped into his world at a more inopportune time, for she is now the prime target for his nemesis.

Protecting her heart would prove to be her biggest challenge.

Devon may be the sexiest, most sinfully erotic man she’s ever met, and he stirs passion in her like no one else before, but he’s an entanglement Kate does not want or need. While it becomes impossible to deny their mutual desire, once the case is solved and the missing women are found, Kate fully intends to return to her boring life, alone.

At least that’s what she thinks.

**Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. It is only appropriate for adult readers age 18+

About the Author:

I’m just a regular ol’ Midwest girl who likes Game of Thrones and am obsessed with Modern Family and The Goldbergs. I run, I eat, I run, I eat. It’s a vicous cycle. I love carbs, but there’s love-hate relationship with my ass and thighs. Mostly hate. I like a good cocktail (oh hell…who am I kidding? I love any cocktail). I’m a huge creature of habit, but I’ll tell you I’m flexible. I read every single day and if I don’t get a chance…watch the hell out, I’m a raving bitch. My iPad and me: BFFs. I’m direct and I make no apologies for it. I swear too much. I love alternative music and in my next life I want to be a bad-ass female rocker. I hate, hate, hate spiders, telemarketers, liver, acne, winter and loose hairs that fall down my shirt (don’t ask, it’s a thing).

InD’Tale Magazine EXCLUSIVE Articles – A Plice Ride, A Mystery Author And A Dead Body! by Carolyn Arnold and Archetyping: The Crusader by Sofia St. Angeles

Quill pen and inkwell resting on an old book with green background concept for literature, writing, author and history

A cross processed murder scene with two forensic analysts and a police lieutenant investigating a crime on a businessman in a basement

Being a mystery author and playing cop behind my computer is certainly a safer take on the job, but I wanted firsthand experience of being out in the field. That desire had me signing up for a ride-along with a local police sergeant, and today was the day. While part of me was excited and couldn’t wait, another other part attempted to anchor me in fear.It was one in the afternoon when I walked into the station and made my way to the main receptionist—a gray-haired woman with a short bob. After explaining my reason for being there, she smiled and said, “I’m rooting for you to see some action.” I tried to smile back. She clearly had different ideas about my outing than I did. Lights and sirens, high-speed chases, shoot-outs between cops and the bad guys—no thanks!

JOan of arc

Her powers of persuasion are the stuff of legend, and I covet her indomitable spirit. This friend of mine is a force to be reckoned with and it comes as naturally to her as breathing. Broken fridge in the condo we’re renting for our writer’s retreat? Donna’s on it. Jacuzzi malfunctioning? Donna’s on it. Leaky pipes under the kitchen sink? Donna’s on it! Not only does she manage to get the aforementioned items fixed promptly by the management, but her tenacious negotiations get our writing group an extra night’s stay for free. Booyah!This is common for Donna—not so much for someone like me. Problems with the condo? Eh, maybe I’ll let them know when I check out. Whah-whah. Not Donna, she goes about life with an unapologetic tenacity that boggles the mind and leaves others green with envy. Time to move across the country? Plans A, B, C, and on to F are in place. Need a job in the new town? Done in days. Need just the right school for the kids? Jockeying for the perfect placement performed perfectly. Where the average may waver or hesitate, Donna barrels in with both guns ablazin’! I’m yer huckleberry! Such is the gift of the courageous crusader—the heroine of the archetypes.

A Disciple will fight like a savage when it counts.

Years ago, he lost everything.
Now, the club is the only thing Jager allows himself to care about.
Nothing matters but his Savage Disciple brothers.

Blurb:

“Welcome to Hell.”

Persephone Fields is just an average girl: beloved daughter and loyal friend. One night decides her Fate, when the prince of The Underworld becomes her savior and her kidnapper.

Hades has lived centuries in darkness and sin. When he decides to save the blonde goddess, he doesn’t consider the ramifications of his decision to bring her into his realm.

Two worlds divided struggle to find friendship in a history of family discord beyond their control. When attraction blurs the line, questions result in choices of love or loyalty.

A modern twist of the classic myth: Hades and Persephone, this version incorporates the sensual tension of opposites divided by contemporary humanity and mythical underworlds. Also reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, this is a love story ripe with desire.
