#TwiniseDee #Review Still (Grip Book #3) by Kennedy Ryan

I’ll be there.

Through thick and thin.

Ride or die.

You can count on me.

The promises people make. The vows we take.

Assumptions of the heart.

Emotion tells us how we feel, but life… life has a way of plunging us in boiling water, burning away our illusions, testing our faith, trying our convictions.

Love floating is a butterfly, but love tested is an anchor.

For Grip and Bristol

Love started at the top of the world

On a Ferris wheel under the stars

But when that love is tested, will they fly or fall?

*STILL is the conclusion of Grip & Bristol’s emotional journey. You must read FLOW, available for FREE, and GRIP before beginning STILL.*

#IAE19 #AuthorSpotlight – Bijou Hunter

Bijou Hunter

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

I’m Bijou Hunter and I write romantic suspense (bikers mainly) and rom-com. I live in Indianapolis with my three sons and just as many cats.

Where is your favorite place to write and what food must be present?

My laptop (Ojai) and I do our work in a blue recliner in my living room. I always have a Diet Coke around and I’ll never say no to a bowl of tortilla chips with spinach dip.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

My absolute favorite is meeting readers I’ve spoken to online. There are some women who’ve been right there with me since my first book (Damaged and the Beast) in 2013. Hanging out with them is a real delight.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

I was lucky enough to meet Aurora Rose Reynolds back in 2015 and she was as lovely in person as she seems online. My current unicorn authors are Jen Frederick, Kristen Ashley, and the ladies behind Alexa Riley.

What author would you love to write with?

Oh, I wouldn’t wish on any author the horror of dealing with me. I write out of order, do little early plotting, and rarely hit my deadlines. Of course, if I could get my act together, I bet I’d enjoy writing with Jordan Marie.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

The best experiences involve receiving messages from readers saying how my books helped them through difficult times. Sometimes, my books made them laugh and distracted them from their troubles. Other times, they find it cathartic to read about characters overcoming issues similar to what they suffered. Those messages inspire me when I’m dealing with writer’s block.

#WOTR19 #NewRelease #review #StandAlone – Broken Scars by JM Walker

Broken Scars (A Standalone Novel)

Ruined. Tortured. Broken.
What could have been the perfect childhood, turned into a hell that the devil himself would shy away from. I was forced to deal with an evil that would make the darkest of souls cringe.
Lily Noel was scarred but beautiful. She was perfectly flawed and everything that I needed.
Attraction bordered on obsession.
Passion bordered on ecstasy.
Addiction bordered on insanity.
Nothing could get in the way of our love.
Nothing…

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

Well, well, well Lucas.  It took you HOW MANY YEARS to finally tell your story to JM and man….was it a good one!!

JM asked me what my description of Lucas is.  I said he is her most Alpha guy yet….but then thinking on it, he is also the sweetest guy yet.  How is that you ask???  Just meet him and you will understand.

Lucas, sweet baby Jesus your life.  I can’t even understand how you LIVED through everything you lived through and yet you did.  You are the definition of survivor.

Lily…guuuurl I don’t know if I have a girl crush on you or if I want to be your best friend???  I mean you are so damn sassy and feisty and you push Lucas to open up.  You accept that broken man and all the baggage he has.  Sometimes you needed to take a quick breath, understandably so BUT you don’t quit on him.  You give him the unconditional love he has been craving his entire life.

These two, I have been DYING to read their story.  We know they are together because we have met them in many of JM’s books.  I just wanted to know how “Love Conquered All” for you two.

This story is complex, deep, and full of emotion.  Be ready to have a bruised heart and make sure your arms are in good condition because all the hugs you will be giving these two.

There are so many amazing twists and turns as we always expect with JM but this book, I think had so much heart and soul baring between the main characters.  They both are damaged souls who find THEIR person due to a quick jump out of the rain!!

J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who recently hit USA Today with Wanted: An Outlaw Anthology. She loves all things books, pigs and lip gloss. She is happily married to the man who inspires all of her Heroes and continues to make her weak in the knees every single day.

#TwiniseDee #Review Grip (Grip Book #2 ) by Kennedy Ryan

Resisting an irresistible force wears you down and turns you out. I know. I’ve been doing it for years.

I may not have a musical gift of my own, but I’ve got a nose for talent and an eye for the extraordinary. And Marlon James – Grip to his fans – is nothing short of extraordinary.

Years ago, we strung together a few magical nights, but I keep those memories in a locked drawer and I’ve thrown away the key. All that’s left is friendship and work.

He’s on the verge of unimaginable fame, all his dreams poised to come true. I manage his career, but I can’t seem to manage my heart.

It’s wild, reckless, disobedient. And it remembers all the things I want to forget.

In the mean time she is still hiding her feeling for his best friend grip. Who is about to drop his first album with Bristol and Rhyson’s new recording label. This aren’t always what they seem when you try to push your true love into someone else’s arms and being in the spot light doesn’t help that at all.

#ReleaseDay – Game Changer (Book 1 Change of Hearts series) by Sierra Hill

Game Changer (Change of Hearts, #1)

Up until two years ago, I was living large and my life’s priorities were anchored to three things – my NBA stardom, money and celebrity.

I was also a colossal dick.

Until one night turned my world upside down and I suffered unspeakable loss. That event changed the man I was and made me a widowed-single father.

Now I’m a desperate parent trying to raise my special needs son and find him a trustworthy live-in nanny.

Grad student Brooklyn Hayes may be the one, with her single-minded focus on caring for my son and finishing her Master’s degree. She’s the perfect fit for our needs.

Maybe too perfect… with her bright smile, nurturing kindness and gentle touch. Caleb isn’t the only one who’s fallen for her.

I don’t know when or how it happened, but she changed the game for me. Turning my losing streak into a winning second-half.

Game Changer is a Single Dad/Nanny Romance.

She loves writing about the fictional characters that live in her brain who constantly shout for their own love story to be told.

Thanks for reading and reviewing her books. Keep the passion alive

#WOTR19 #NewRelease #Review #Mythology #Paranormal #PartOfASeries – Death Do Us Part (Gods of DC Book 4) by Tricia Andersen


Death Do Us Part (Gods of DC Book 4) by [Andersen, Tricia]

Hades and Persephone share a love that is known by millions over thousands of years. But even the greatest of love affairs can hit rocky ground. Zeus forces them apart, banishing Hades into the deepest, darkest parts of Tartarus and into the hands of Hades’s father, Cronus. If that isn’t enough, the king of the Greek gods tears Persephone away from her mother, Demeter, promising to find her a more suitable husband.The rest of the family races to find a way to bring Hades home and reunite the lovers before a deity ends up dead. But when the mysterious tears in reality show their true purpose, will any of them survive?


Goodreads


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

*Clapping* I was so excited when I saw this book was going to be about Hades and Persephone.  I mean anyone who loves Mythology knows their crazy love story.  Being kidnapped with the help of her father, Zeus, to be with Hades and then then finding love though it all.  The two have managed to make their love work through all the ages.

Zeus got his feelings all butt hurt lately and finally was denied by his family so he does the one thing to hurt his daughter, his love Demeter, and his own brother….he annulled their marriage and sends Hades back to dear ol’ dad Cronus.  YIKES!!  Not a good place to be!!

This book was awesome.  I loved seeing the family of Gods and Demi-Gods circling their wagons and looking to rescue Hades plus also looking to stiff Zeus.  Dude he is really going crazy.  Just because you and your siblings overthrew your parents doesn’t mean your family on Earth is trying to do it to you!!  Get over yourself already!!

Seeing the love Persephone and Hades have but also seeing the other couples developing more love and respect was amazing.  I think Freddy, Juliet, and Mack stole the book. These Demi-Gods stepped up and did everything for their new family and loved ones.

I cannot wait for the next installment of the series. I am looking forward to seeing how the family reacts to dear ol’ Zeus wanting to join in the ranks after all the shenanigans he has pulled over the last few months…hell centuries!!

#NewRelease #Review – Lies by Kylie Scott

Lies

Betty Dawsey knows that breaking things off with Thom Lange is for the best. He’s nice, but boring, and their relationship has lost its spark.

With both their lives on the line, their lackluster connection is suddenly replaced by an intense one. But in his line of work, feelings aren’t wanted or desired. Because feelings can be a lethal distraction.


Goodreads


I received this book for an honest review.

I have enjoyed all of Kylie’s books so far. She was able to keep me guessing and had me needing to find out who was behind everything. I did like the banter and humor she was able to pack into this book.

Betty is fed up with her boring lonesome life with her husband. He is not spontaneous and has to leave her to for his job.  She had decided to make a change and leave Thom. However, the day she decides to leave is the day her world is turned upside down.  Not everything is as it seams you can never believe what your eyes see or what you think you know. This is the day Betty finds out her life with Thom has been nothing but lies.

Thom needed a cover and being a normal average joe with a fiancé was the perfect cover. He never dreamed that by having Betty as his cover life would put her life in danger. But now he finds himself on the run with Betty trying to figure out who is trying to kill them.  Now that Betty knows the truth Thom is determined to make Betty see even if their relationship was based on a lie what he feels for her is real.

I have to say this was a good suspense romance. I so wanted to know who the person was behind everything and why they were doing this. This had violence, action and suspense but it also had humor.  Betty cracked me up with some of her thoughts and how she would sort through everything that was happening around her.  The twist and turns kept all of them on their toes even me. This was entertaining and as I read this story it was like a movie unfolding.

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

Kylie is certainly stretching her writing and not letting anyone peg her into any category!!  After her successful Stage Dive series, she has blown us away with her YA story “Trust”.  Then she followed up with a contemporary romance “Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time”.  Now she is dipping her toe into a romantic suspense in “Lies”.  The one thing about Kylie’s writing that will always be present is her HUMOR!!  Lord, she is hilarious and snarky which makes me smile!!!

This story is about a couple who are on not really being their true selves.  Betty is not thrilled that her fiancé is a bit dull.  She deicides to roll out when she finds out a whole new side of Thom. Thom isn’t who he says he is and was using Betty as part of his cover.  His lies get her caught up in his business.

The story is face paced and they are so funny with the banter they both have.  The action keeps the story rolling right along until we find out who is after the couple and what will happen between them at the end.

The story was fast paced and a great romantic comedy meets romantic suspense.
