Nikki Leigh

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Nikki Leigh
Nikki Leigh is an American romance author who was born and raised in Northern Vermont. She has been happily married to love of her life for 30 years and they have four amazing, albeit sassy daughters and now have been blessed with 7 equally amazing sassy grandchildren.
On the weekends you will find her enjoying a simple car ride through the scenic country-side with her husband or watching the latest sitcoms together. On occasion you might even find her camping in Florida at one of her husband’s favorite sites…

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

The others, hands down!

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

Lots of ideas from movies, and having a great imagination have never failed me.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Take your time. It can be stressful and sometimes, and remember we don’t have to get it right the first time. Rewrites are a necessary evil.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

I usually spend at least 8 hours a day writing. Usually more.

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

My favorite character would be Ethan, (my menage duet). He deals with his desires of wanting two women, his best friends. Not only that but he stumbles on a hidden secret of his adoption, his adopted father is also is bio dad. He deals with and learns that forgiveness is a priceless gift.

What is your definition of success?

My definition of success is having fun while I write. The day I dread writing a story it’ll no longer be the vision I want. I just want to bring a smile to my readers!

#WOTR23 #Review – Into the Madness (The Villainous Wonderland Series Book 1) by A.K. Koonce

Into the Madness: A Fantasy Romance Series (The Villainous Wonderland Series Book 1) by [A.K. Koonce]

I didn’t fall into a place of wonder and madness. I was taken.

This world is a perfect, enchanting wonderland. The people here are just as alluring.

But we all have our secrets.

Like the white rabbit who’s leading a rebellion right under the King’s nose. Or the sweet March Hare who’s actually an enemy spy. Or my one true ally in all of this, a killer who’s so feared they won’t even say his real name.

As for me, I have more secrets than all of them combined. Because Wonderland is waiting for the beloved Alice Liddell.

And I’m just the bitch pretending to be her.

This is a reverse harem series, recommended for readers 18 and over.

Goodreads

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Being the queen of bad decisions can feel reckless but relaxing at the same time. When you are going to mess up, you may as well do it proper-like. And this is how we meet Madison, our pretend Alice. She has quite the past. Then, one evening after she was terribly disappointed with her choice of man in an attempt to sow some wild oats, she finds herself in a mysterious world where all things are a bit wonky. One thing that I love about Madison is, even though the hand she was dealt was crap, she ends up being a fighter. This Wonderland is definitely a darker version than we are used to and the characters are very, very different. Madison even chuckles to herself throughout the book as she is putting together which person is who from the Alice in Wonderland fairytale that we all know. I was very intrigued as the story continued and pieces came together. There is a lot of angst, snark and wit. However, “Alice” (who is really Madison) is promised to another and these men cannot go any further with her. It is tension filled, but the wait is totally worth it because once the collision occurs, fireworks explode…and nooooot with you think it will be!!!! What I am saying here is, this is a must read. Stay tuned because I am going in for the next book!

Sara Whitney

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Sara Whitney, author of sexy, sunny contemporary romance

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

They’re all hard in their own way! As important as it is to start strong, I often find myself having to sort through a million previously established details by the time I get to the final book in the series. Wait, I said he did WHAT for a job? I described him as being from WHAT state? I’ve sometimes written myself into a current with decisions I made months (or years!) before, and I have to bend the current story to make it match the details in the previous ones.

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I also look for new tropes and new character types to play with. If I can surprise myself with a plot twist or dynamic bit of banter, I hope it’ll surprise readers too.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Be easy on yourself! If you need a break, take a break. The manuscript will still be there tomorrow (or next week or heck, next month). Sometimes your creative well needs to be refilled with a TV show or a nap or the new release from your favorite author. You’re not Supergirl, so don’t hold yourself to impossible standards.

If any of your books were to be made into a movie, who are the celebrities that would star in it? What book and who?

Tempting Taste, the first book in my Cinnamon Roll Alphas series, would be spectacular with Chris Hemsworth and Emma Stone.

What is your definition of success?

I love leaving a mark on readers. If someone’s day is made a little lighter by one of my books, that’s a success to me.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I received this book from the authors PR firm for an honest review.

I was super excited when I saw this was a spin off from an MC series.  I am always looking for an MC series so now I want to jump back and read that entire catalog especially after meeting the characters in this series. (Serpents MC Las Vegas if you are looking for one too.  But I also have my eye on Boa…just saying.)

I am also a HUGE lover of 2nd chance which this book has from jump.  Samson and Lisbeth are a bomb of chemistry from the first time we see them together …at her bachelorette party no less.  They are both transported in time to when he broke her heart.  She has no clue why and he keeps that secret close to the chest until toward the end of the story but que the AWWWW  When I read it.  Yes, Samson is a swoon worthy Alpha Male who will beat the crap outta a dude, wash off the blood his hands, and then attack your lips in his office 5 minutes later.  But that is why we love them.  AmIRight???

Samson and Lisbeth have A LOT to get through.  History, miscommunication, oh and that pesky douche bag fiancée.  That is kinda a big one for Lisbeth.  They also have to deal with people trying to destroy all that Samson and his partner Nick have built.

I am loving the series and the characters in it.  Jax has me looking at him saying HEEY you.  He might be broken on the outside with is scary scars buuuut those are the yummiest of men IMO.  Nick.  I don’t know about him.  His heart is so broken.  It is going to take a special lady to open him up.  Perhaps Willow????  I mean her free spirit could be that woman.  But not Daria please and thanks.  #SayNoToSkanks

I am waiting for book 2 and cant wait to see who is the next alpha to fall.

Barbara is an Amazon Bestselling Author, and a native of New Jersey.

#WOTR23 #Dark #revenge #Horror – Dolly by Measha Stone, narration by Michele Blackstone

Leave a comment

He’s promised me sunlight.
Hope for a better future.
Freedom from this horror.
A life that doesn’t end in a dark cellar.

But, we’re trapped together.
Forced to live for the worst kind of people.
Desperate to survive for each other.

I crave his touch with every breath I take.
My heart aches for him.
He’s my hope for survival.
The man I want a future with.
I can have it all again, if only I trust him.
Even if that’s the only thing I can’t do.

Review by Twinsie Angie

Dolly by Measha Stone, narration by Michele Blackstone

I purchased the audio and paperback of this book.

I bought this paperback a year ago??  Like right when it came out.  I like dark books but I gotta work my way up to reading them.  I know I am weird.  ANYWAY!  I finally decided this was the time.    I saw the audio was available and since it was 5 hours that would only take me a day to read.

I want to start out by saying the narration was not my favorite.  I would have loved to have a female voice it AKA Dolly vs having a man AKA Ken Doll voice the story.  I also didn’t get drawn into the story with Michele voicing the characters and the story either.  I pushed through because I wanted the story. The story was where it was at.

Ok yall.  This book is a little slower to start but I wanna say PAY ATTENTION to the beginning 10-11 chapters because once we hit chapter 12-13, ITS GO TIME!!! I was there for it.  Dolly and Ken Doll are trapped and being abused by 2 horrible humans but why???  WELL, we soon discover why when they get free and go on their bloody revenge tour.  I was there for that as well.  The stuff we learn in each chapter had me saying YOOOOOO WHAT.  And also, a big GASP with “I did Not see that coming!!”  I mean I knew stuff would be flying outta closets but it got me good with the twists.

The story of Dolly/Abigail and Ken Doll/Brian was a good one.  The relationship between the 2 characters was sweet and loving one minute while total Bonnie and Clyde murders the next!!

Measha Stone is a USA Today bestselling romance author with a deep love for romantic stories, specifically those involving the darker side of romance, all the possessive dominant heroes, and their feisty heroines. If you love a well deserved happily ever after, you will enjoy her books.

Savannah Verte

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Savannah Verte. wife, mother, grandmother, professional Sexton. Author for almost a decade

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

All of them for different reasons. The first because you want it to hold interest after it’s done so readers come back for the next. You’re also excited to embark on a new writing journey and the disciplines can be overwhelming, making it hard to focus.
The subsequent ones because they need to do the same, but also live up to the first when you were excited about a new story idea.

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I never write sequentially. I will write something else between volumes in a series to keep my mental edge, and to keep from blurring the storylines together. Hopefully, this variety gives the readers fresh material too.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

However you do it, is the right way. Writing isn’t a “if I can do it, you can do it,” pursuit. It is a deeply personal event between the writer and the page. Authors need to find what works for them, and not get distracted by what works for others.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

none. I will rework a story in my head for weeks or months before sitting down to purge it to the page in a small window.

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

so many of them for different reasons, but I think Ashmael Nocte is my personal kryptonite. He’s not what he seems and the dichotomy of him is a challenge to flesh out before I can write him. He’s a single malt…slow burn, complex notes, but so simple and pure he’s elusive, even as he’s right in front of me.

If any of your books were to be made into a movie, who are the celebrities that would star in it? What book and who?

I’m horrible for this kind of question. I don’t pay attention to current events, and really don’t watch television or movies, so I don’t know who most celebrities are.

What is your definition of success?

When I don’t weigh more at the doctor’s office than what I do at home…. seriously, when the bills are paid, the necessities are covered, I have friends and family to share time with, and laughter.

Do you have anything you want to share that didn’t fit on one of these questions?

Thanks for checking me out. I’m a huge fan of this event and the good work that it does.

#WOTR23 #EnemiesToLovers #InstaLove #SmallTown #KU – The Sweetest Thing, Starlight Harbor Book 1 by Bria Quinlan

Leave a comment

Starlight Harbor’s Sweetheart has had enough…

Lyra Grigor is the easy going, sweet, smile-at-everyone owner of The Sweetest Things.  When an annoying travel site puts Starlight Harbor on their Top Ten Tacky Tiny Towns list for the fourth year running, she knows it’s time to give the writer a bit of spicy tart instead of a teaspoon of sugar.

An outsider who just wants out…

Spence Côte has no idea what hit his site. Nearly a thousand replies on some little baker’s comment and everything has blown up. Since the site is up for sale, it couldn’t have happened at a worse time. Now he has to drive up to the middle of nowhere coast of Maine and get this resolved. ASAP.

Two worlds collide…

Between the puppies dressed as pirates, the older women masquerading as tavern wenches, and the sweetest little baker he’s ever seen, Spence knows Starlight Harbor might not just be freakishly adorable….it might be what he’d been looking for.

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

I am not sure where to begin with this book except to say it landed in my lap during a much needed time.  I needed some light.  I needed some sweet.  I needed a delicious buttercream frosting cupcake that only Lyra and Spencer could provide.

This book is ab-so-lute adorable fun.  It is insta-hateish love???  Is this a thing?  I dunno but Bria did it and I loved it.   This book has banter…lawd the banter between Lyra, the harmed town baker and Spencer, the journalist and or Mob Boss???  I loved the town history and why they do the Christmas celebrations year-round.  I loved how the town rallied behind Lyra when she was throwing Spencer out of town…Angie and her dog did make me smile A LOT.

I was reading this book and laughing so much.  The townspeople are nuts but in the best dang possible way.  Lyra and Spencer and both head over heels about the other but pride keeps them at bay from admitting feelings pluuuuuus they aren’t really sure if feelings are reciprocated.

I had the best couple of hours reading and admit I might grab the next book in the series just because I wanna see how Cam is going to win Vi.  She is a disgruntled female who is going to be wooed in a biiiiiiiiig way.

But honestly this book was just a fun read.  It’s a good book when you just need some happiness or feel good in your life.  Don’t we all need and want some happiness and feel good!!??

Bria Quinlan is an award-nominated bestselling author of eight Romantic Comedies and YA Issue Books (that she swears are funny…really. They are.) Her books make you snort Diet Coke out your nose or tear up and curse her name.

It didn’t surprise anyone when Bria Quinlan started writing YA Rom Coms… after all, her life is a walking sitcom (minus the commercials). Plus, secretly she’s still 16 (although her license says something different). Finally putting those English Literature and Creative Writing degrees and Copy Editing cert to work, Bria’s excited to get her quirky stories on the page to share with the world (or at least a segment of it).

She’s represented by the awesomely amazing Lauren Macleod of the Clan…. Oh, wait. Of Strothman Agency.

Bria writes Romantic Comedies for teens that take hard topics and make you laugh through your tears. You can contact her at briaquinlan.com OR twitter @briaquinlan
She also writes sweet & sassy Contemporary Romances as Caitie Quinn.

A proud Golden Heart Finalist, she’s focusing on writing stories that make you laugh, make you cry and remind you that life is an adventure not to be ignored.

#Review #MMRomance #AgeGap #Wotr23 #AttendingAuthor -Necessary Space by: Kate Hawthorne

Leave a comment

Hendrix

What’s the only thing more annoying than my years-too-young neighbor?

The way I want him more than air.

There are plenty of things I don’t like about my new home in California, and my neighbor, Miles, is at the top of the list. He’s smug and arrogant, he speaks out of turn. And even though I should have learned my lesson about fast-talking, younger, dominant men when I broke up with my ex, I want him. For better or worse, Miles and I are on the same page and that’s why we decide there’s no harm in taking things between us someplace a little more private.

Good thing it’s only a physical connection between us because I could never be with a man like him for the long term…

Miles

Can I tease my well-dressed and thick-thighed older neighbor into bed?

I’m not sure, but there’s no harm in trying.

There’s never been a man who twists me up inside the way Hendrix does, and from the very first time he tells me yes, I know I’m going to demand a thousand more agreements out of his gorgeous mouth before I’m anywhere close to being done with him. He says he only wants me for my body, but it’s not long before things between us feel anything but casual. Hendrix thinks I can’t tell he’s being cautious with me, that I don’t know his worries about the past repeating itself are a constant threat in his head.

Joke’s on him, though. Hendrix makes me want to be a better man and I’m not going to stop until I prove that I’m worthy of a partner like him, even if I stumble more than once along the way.

What’s the only thing scarier than falling in love with the older man who’s determined not to trust me?

Giving him the space to discover he can.

—

Necessary Space is a 76,000 word age gap romance where coffee is a love language, annoying neighbors become lovers, kneeling is so much more than an act of submission, and love can be found all in good time.

Review by Twinsie Tenise

Hendrix is trying to adjust to his new life in California.  If I’m being honest he was basically just going through the motions daily. Good thing he’s not very fond of how his life is going as of late because things are about to get intresting…

Miles is neighbors with Hendrix. They meet through the fence after an embarrassing moment and Hendrix is unimpressed with his cocky, much younger neighbor. Miles is up for the challenge that is his older, wiser, super hot neighbor, Hendrix . He will do what it takes to prove to him that he isn’t playing games and he wants him for keeps. Even if that means giving them both Necessary Space.

This book made my heart happy. I loved watching the relationship between these 2 men blossom and grow. It was a wonderful story. I’m so happy Hendrix finally got his HEA. I cannot wait to read about the next couple in this series.

About the Author

Jolanthe Aleksander

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My name is Jolanthe (Jo-lawn-thay) Aleksander. I’m a mom to 1 son. I work full time and write whenever I can.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

The last book in a series I found to be the hardest because you want to make sure that everything is tied up, there are no open storylines that need a conclusion.

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I’ve only written one series, and it was an ongoing series with the same couple as the main characters. I’ll be able to answer better when through with the new series I’m working on. 😉

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Find something that takes your mind away from writing but can be just as inspiring. For some that can be reading, dancing, taking a drive to the beach, a nature walk, planting…or just vegging on the couch watch your favorite show. Sometimes we just need a mental break to recharge and reboot.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

Not enough.

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

Celine from my Veil series. She is fiesty, strong, and not afraid to fight back.

If any of your books were to be made into a movie, who are the celebrities that would star in it? What book and who?

hmmmm….the only celebrity I had in mind for my books was Brock O’Hurn. He was the inspiration for Caomhnoir.

What is your definition of success?

Finishing what you started to the best of your ability.

Do you have anything you want to share that didn’t fit on one of these questions?

What works for one author doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for another. Some have a regimented writing routine. Some squeeze their writing in between tasks. Some are plotters and others are pantsers or somewhere in between.

-Rowan-

He was sad.
Closed off.
Alluring.
Aiden Donovan was something I never knew I needed.
He had walls up to protect himself, but I was determined to shatter every single one of them.
I would show him that fate brought us together and we were meant to be.
It was just me and him against the world.
But someone from my past didn’t want me happy and would do anything to end what Aiden and I were starting to build.
Even if it meant taking someone’s life.

-Aiden-

He was dominant.
Addictive.
Stubborn.
Rowan Crane barrelled into my life at a time I needed it most.
He was determined to make me see that we were meant to be together and that he would do everything in his power to make me happy.
When I finally started seeing that maybe Rowan was right, the universe decided it had other plans for us.
Knowing Rowan’s history, the force threatening to tear us apart could win.
If we let it.

Review by Twinsie Tenise

5 STARS!!!

Aidan is a recovering alcoholic suffering from PTSD after serving in the military. Rowan owns an antique store and dabbles in… other things, of which he is working on. They meet in a bar. That seems odd because Aiden is in recovery but you will soon find out the reason for this.

Oh lawd! First off, Rowan is flipping perfect. I love him. He is everything Aiden never knew he needed. He is dealing with his own stuff at the moment but the way he makes Aiden his priority so early on was just breathtaking, awe inspiring, all the adjectives that are synonymous with those words! Yeah, all those things. But the heart knows what the heart wants. Sometime it just takes a minute for the brain to catch up. I loved this book from the first page and the way J.M. Walker writes MM is also all those adjectives I mentioned above! This story gave me constant goosebumps.

Tempt Us is book 11 in the series. The final book in the series. I’m going to miss these kids. I’m going to miss looking forward to the next book in the series. But I know its time to move on. I feel like this series will be one I take with me and recommend to everyone forever. There’s something for every romance reader within the pages of these 11 books. You may even notice a familiar name mentioned A LOT in book 5. I would just like to point out that I have nothing to do with my evil namesake and her craziness. I wanted that villain to be tortured buuuut I digress. Lol…
Thank you J.M. for keeping me on the edge of my seat for that past few years with these kids. I can’t wait to see what your fabulous mind creates next.
