GOOD SUNDAY ALL

  Good Sunday all today I have an erotic little book for you . LOVE IS FOR SUCKERS  by Shaylin Mathews

                            BOOK BLURB 

 
Who loves sex, avoids commitment and is too nice of a person to put her hot mess of a self into any long relationship? Legend "Gen" McGowan. Executive Secretary by day and escort by night, she knows who she is and is proud of it. She loves men in general but there are only two men whom she actually lusts for...her best friend Royce and her boss - too bad they are both in relationships...with each other. Not that it matters Gen has a motto that she allows to rule her life. Love is for suckers and that's something she will never be. Living her two separate lives gives her the excitement she needs and the sex she requires until the day wall comes down. Her secret is out, her worlds collide and the proposition she's offered is hard to refuse. As much as she adores adventure this one has the potential to change her life forever.

Trevor "Cutt" Westcutt isn't known for anything besides getting what he wants and as a corporate lawyer that's a good thing, but to get what he wants now he's going to have to soften his touch. His roommate / friend / lover Royce Collins has been eating his heart out over his best friend Gen for years, The man convinced him to get her a job at his law firm where she has spun her magic and now he wants her too. Royce has always been a true believer in Gen's motto but something tells him that things could be different with the power of three. It’s time to put this plan into motion. It will either work beautifully or make suckers of them all.

Warning - this book includes hot lovin by all parties mentioned. It is intended to be read by people who have open minds, open hearts and likes to feed their need for naughty.

                                                     MY REVIEW 
      When you love sex , you become an escort , that is what Legend has done and she has been having the time of her life . Until the day that she is set up as birthday surprise for someone special . Cutt decides to surprise the man he loves with the woman that they both secretly love and want . After a night of fun times and maybe a few misunderstandings , they become more then friends and worker boss . But with all great loves will they be able to keep their love strong to get through jealousy sink them before they even get started . 

     The main characters are well written and complex . Legend , what can we say about her  She is feisty and so very strong willed . But she is also convinced that love doesn't exsist and if she doesn't let herself feel she won't get hurt . 
   Royce is the sweetest guy you can meet , he loves both Legend and Cutt and wants to have both of them . He is also the sensitive one and takes it upon himself to try and fix things when they go wrong. He is the glue that holds the three of them together . 
    Cutt well he is technically the alpha of the three of them . He knows what he wants and he wants both Legend and Royce. He is a big believer of having something for awhile and then letting it go 
. What draws these three together is that they all don't believe in love or let me rephrase that . They are all holding themselves back from finding the love that they all deserve . 
   
  This is actually a quick dirty little read , but what i did like about it ,it had a story line behind all the sexy fun stuff. There were parts though where i felt the characters were struggling to get their stories out there . There were some parts too that felt like they were a little choppy . The characters I really liked them and wished that we got to have just a little bit of more of a back story to them . Over all i really enjoyed this fast little read and if you want a nice fun and dirty summer read add this one to your challenge list for this summer

ITS SATURDAY ALL

   Good Saturday all , its the long weekend Canada Day up here so I am going to be chilling and relaxing and reading . Today  I have a sexy cowboy book for you . HOWLER ( Jackson Investigation book one ) by A.J Storm


                            BOOK BLURB 



His name is Howler for a reason. A self-confident man of forty-three, he controls everything and everyone around him. Women trip over themselves to get the first smile from his lips.

A founder/owner of an investigative service that helps people in trouble, he finds himself in the heart of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. The owner of the very successful Painted Horse Ranch is being vandalized with fires, broken fences, graffiti covered signs, and attempted horse theft.

When Howler’s boots hit the gravel road in front of the owner’s house, he knows he’ll lose his heart. Sadie is slightly older, a curvy, beautiful Choctaw who is as big a control freak as him.
Will she play, or will she fight until she runs him off?

                       MY REVIEW 
  When Sadie's ranch is being vandalized by unknown people . Howler shows up on her doorstep he is struck by the beautiful owner who is as much of a control freak as he is . Will they survive the men wanting to steal her land and her prized paint horses and most of all will they survive each other and keep their hearts entact . 

     This book has such great characters, Sadie and Howler are so complex and so well written . Sadie has been through a lot being the only girl in the family , she had to become hard and just as strong as the boys . Which in her life has helped her but also made her closed off to everyone . I truly loved her grit and deterimination to keep the ranch going . As you see her with Howler you see her fight and run like a scared filly but she starts to come around and you can see her start to fall in love. She softens up and becomes the woman that Howler can't stay away from . Howler well he is just is oh so alpha, he is strong , sexy and you will want to climb him like a spider monkey . There is a softer side to him that you see when you see him with Sadie and with the horses . I truly love how complex he is and he is lovable in a domineering sort of way . 
   There are such a variety of characters in this book and you will love each and everyone of them. Ben the hired hand is such a sweet old guy who is like a grandfather to everyone  The horses also play a big part in the book and for this horse girl is very satisfying . 
    
    I was so excited when I started reading this book and found out it was on a horse ranch and the horse ranch actually had paints on them . I am partial to paints so anything with a paint horse has my attention . The story is complex and takes us on a journey . The characters are also my age and the female character is actually 3 years older then the male . Which I love cause I can connect with them better then the young naive girl and the older man .  I like the tribal aspect of the story line , the author delves into the tribal aspect with a respect and reverence . I really loved this book and  you should check it out and put it on your summer reading challenge

GOOD FRIDAY ALL

We made it to Friday woohoo and its is the Canada day long weekend for me . So will be having lots of good food and friends and family around . Oh and lots of reading while I hangout on the patio. Today I have a book that will tear at your heart strings . UPON BROKEN WINGS by E,L Reedy .

                           BOOK BLURB 



"Brilliant and Moving. Highly Recommended."

Bound by a dark act of hate and despair, high school freshmen, Andrew and Kiernan, learn that their untimely deaths did not bring an end to their pain, but only began the suffering of those left behind. While his lost memories return, Andrew must master seemingly impossible feats, both spiritual and physical.

As a dark spirit stalks Kiernan through the borderlands of life and death, he must also face the pain his actions have caused his loved ones. To save both their souls, Andrew must convince Kiernan to return to life and open his eyes to the love and beauty which had always been there.

                         MY REVIEW 
     This was a heart wrenching book about what happens to those we love after someone has taken their own life.. Andrew a sweet young autistic boy who has tragically lost everyone he loved and just couldn't take it anymore and the friend that he had and just didn't know it yet . Kiernan who both tragically take their own lives .  To save both of their souls Andrew must help Kiernan fight for his life and open his eyes and come back to the love that all around him 

    The characters in this story are so well written and complex . There are actually quite a few characters in this story .  Andrew is a sweet boy who is basically locked in his own world and has lost everyone who loved him .  Kiernan has come and got into Andrew's isolation and becomes more then friends with him. Together they will fight betrayal and through ones suicide the other will come out stronger . 

   This book is a heavy read , I actually had to put it down a couple of time because I needed a breath and wipe a tear away . I know from the other books the authors have written that you will be taken on a very emotional roller coaster ride .  The characters are well written and you can't help but care for them . There are few spots where I felt like it was confusing and a little bit repetitive  and the heaviness of the story kind of took away from the story . Sometimes less is more . Over all I did enjoy this story and would recommend it for a reading challenge . Check it out

WELCOME TO WEDNESDAY

   Welcome to Wednesday , today I have an awesome novella for you guys today. I would also call it a prequel for a fabulous series . THE BENCH  by Theresa Sederholt.

                            BOOK BLURB 


Mick
I was living the American dream. I had a beautiful wife and a career that I loved.
Then everything I knew and loved was lost to me forever.
With nothing left, I set out to lose myself in New York City. What I found, instead, was a best friend who would change my life forever.
This is the story of how one person’s kindness set me on a journey that would change my life forever.

This is not a romance; It is one man’s journey to find his way back to himself.
**Warning** There may be triggers for some readers due to the sensitive subject matter regarding PTSD.

All proceeds to benefit The Gary Sinise Foundation.

                             MY REVIEW 
   What do you do when everything you love has been lost forever . Mick has been through a lot and now is trying to hide in New York City .  Then one day on the bench he finds a best friend who would change his life in a way that noone would of ever thought. This isn't a love story but a story of one man's journey back from the brink and become himself again . 

    This story has such strong characters , Mick is truly a hero in my books , he has fought for so much . He is strong but he is also so scarred and broken , he has lost everything and everyone he loved. You just want to take care of him and wrap him up in a blanket and tell him that life will be ok.  Pastor Clarence is another great character . He goes through a lot with Mick and becomes a good friend to him and encourages Mick to start doing things . Also another great character that starts Mick on his journey home is Dr Finley , he really helps Mick come to terms with what has happened and starts to put everything back to normal . They are both strong and kind characters that you will love . 

  We can't forget Raven, the sweet woman who befriends Mick and shows him nothing but kindness . I love the relationship between Mick and Raven , its is so sweet . They seem to be more then friends that there is a true love between them that will not be destroyed in any way . 

   This book is so powerful, its shows what love can do to help bring a person well lets say back to life . The characters are so well written and complex and you will love them . The story is so relevant in todays world . So many veterans suffering in silence and those who are there to help . The author tackles this story in such a way that you care for the characters and want the best for them . The author has a way of letting us inside MIcks head and we get to see what he is really going through . This is an emotional book that will have you wiping a tear or two from your eyes and also you will be cheering for our main character through out the whole book . So if you want a powerful book for your summer reading challenge add this one to your list .

HAPPY RELEASE FOR MANIPULATE BY PAM GODWIN

   Good Tuesday morning all I am so excited today because it is release day for one of my all time favourite dark romance authors Pam Godwin and book 6 in her Deliver series . MANIPULATE.

                           BOOK BLURB 

  
Tula Gomez is in the most ruthless prison in Latin America.

She only drove to Mexico to help her sister. She did nothing wrong.
But her quiet life changed in an instant.

To survive the violent, cartel-controlled prison where men blend with women, she pledges her loyalty to the notorious leader in exchange for the one thing she needs most.
Protection.

When she agrees to seduce the suspicious new inmates, Martin Lockwood and Ricky Saldivar, she doesn’t expect to enjoy it. Sure, they’re gorgeous, irresistibly alpha, and insanely talented with their hands and mouths. But they’re the enemy. She can’t fall for them.

Torn between her cartel loyalties and two men who want her as deeply as they want each other, she questions who is manipulating whom. Her search for answers leads to a passionate ménage, a soul-crushing secret, and an impossible choice.

                           MY REVIEW
  Tula Gomez only went back to Mexico to help out her sister and ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time.  She is arrested and thrown into a mexican prison where men and women are mixed together .  After a night of what is considered hell on earth . She pledges loyalty to one of the most ruthless cartels, for the one thing she desperatly needed PROTECTION.  She becomes strong and hard until the day two mysterious  American men show up and she is asked to seduce them .  They are both hot , sexy and oh so alpha . Whats a girl going to do but maybe fall for them both . When she finds out the reason why they are really there she questions everything that the cartel stands for . Will she be able to survive with her heart intact and will she be able survive the cartel . 

  Ok what can i say about these characters . Well they are in my opinion are the best characters out of the series . Don't get me wrong I still love Van and Liv but Tula has come out as number one . She is naive at the beginning you really feel for her and the torture she endured . As you get into the book though she becomes such a strong force of nature . She does things you never thought she would do , but she doesn't really loose her humanity . I love her so much , there were moments where I just wanted to hug her and tell her everything will be alright . 
 Now lets talk men Martin and Ricky well lets say they are HOT , HOT oh did i say HOT.  They have been friends  and roommates for some time but they also have desires for each other but really haven't acted on them .  Ricky is kind of cocky and full of attitude which sometimes gets him into trouble . Martin is also so very hot but he has been through so much bad in his life . He is more reserved and quiet , he is a thinker . There are times where he goes into his head and that is where you just want to hug him and tell him everything will be ok . Each of them are hot and so alpha you want to climb them like spider monkey . Together with Tula they are on fire , you will be fanning yourself .  

  I sat down and started reading this book thinking that I would be able to put it down and head to bed . Boy I was wrong this book had be hooked by the end of chapter one . I had so many feels , I cried and I laughed and then there were the moments I was blushing and fanning myself . The author took us on such an emotional roller coaster ride . She put her characters through the wringer and you just wanted to hug them all . There are some really dark parts to this book like what happened to Tula at the beginning of the book and what happens through out the book .I must admit this is the darkest book of the series and I loved it . The author is taking more risks and making her characters darker and more dangerous . She takes on the world of cartels and sex trafficking and then adds the freedom fighters and love and mixes it all together . I will say that you need to add this whole series to your summer reading list . You will not be disappointed .

WOOHOO ITS THURSDAY

WOOHOO made it to Thursday or as I like to call it Friday Eve . Today I have a sexy cowboy book for you by one of my new favourite authors . FOOLIN by Allyson Young .

                           BOOK BLURB 


When Kathleen and Carter meet, it’s intrigue at first sight, and they awaken from emotional exile. A turn of events finds her spontaneously joining him on his working ranch. Despite being really hard work, she’s blissfully happy—and the fringe benefits aren’t too shabby either.

Carter can’t believe his luck. He desperately needed a housekeeper, not that he welcomed this amazing woman into his home for that reason. He can cope with her bond with her daughter, no matter how it forces him to remember his lost young son. And he can’t give her his heart, but what he can give is surely enough.

In love with this amazing man, Kate ignores that Carter withholds, believing he’ll change, and she’s willing to wait. When she inadvertently discovers he was angling for a housekeeper all along, it knocks her blinders off.

She’s done waiting. She deserves more—and so does he.

                             MY REVIEW 
   Wonder what happens when a handsome cowboy meets a sweet bookkeeper . Well lets say the sparks fly and when that bookkeeper decides to come back to his ranch well it gets even hotter . When Carter sees Kathleen across the room sparks that he thought were dead a long time ago are ignited . When they decide to spend the weekend together they both find what they have been missing in their lives . Will they realize it before its too late , or will a misunderstanding split them up . 

     I love these characters so much . They are well written and both of them have a complexity to them .  I love Kathleen for one main reason, she is my age and has gone through love once and is her own woman . She is stronger then she lets on and wants more out of life then the dead end job she is working . I love that she is hard working and wants to take care of the men on the farm . She is sweet and sassy and wears her heart on her sleeve sometimes .  Now Carter well he is kind and actually he is a little grumpy when you first meet him .He seems like he just wants to be left alone . He tries to be tough but you can see right through the tough act and see that he is a sweet lonely guy who is scared to let go of the past .  There is plenty of heat between the two of them  and you will love them so much . There are moments when you want to wrap each of them up in a blanket and tell them everything will be ok . 

   I was so excited to find out this author has written a book about a cowboy and ranch life . So I grabbed it and sat down and started reading , I was hooked instantly and couldn't put the book down. The characters are well written and like I said before they are my age . The female character is not a young 20 something whiny girl chasing an older man. Which for me is a breath of fresh air . I love reading stories where the couple is about the same age . Ok enough of me babbling about that . The story is relatable and if you have any ranch knowledge you know how hard it is . This is a fun, fast read that is hot and sweet at the same time . OH and did I say there is a puppy and horses.  So if you want a great summer read for the beach . This should be on your summer reading list .

WELL MADE IT TO WEDNESDAY

 Good day all , well it is Wednesday  and the week is almost over and the weekend is coming . Today we have the third book in the Witches of New Orleans series . THE FINAL DAYS OF MAGIC by J.D Horn
 
                            BOOK BLURB 


The war between witches reaches its terrifying climax in the final book in Wall Street Journal bestselling author J.D. Horn’s spellbinding trilogy.
Once caged in an illusory realm by blood relatives, Alice Marin has been freed into a world where the last remnants of magic are quickly passing away. Dissolving with them is the unity among witches…and their sanity. Grappling with the revelations of her true parentage—and her burgeoning relationship with Nathalie Boudreau, a psychic with her own demons—Alice and her allies, both living and dead, must draw on every skill they possess. It’s the only way to defeat the destructive forces borne of the horrifying history of Alice’s own family. That means unlocking the final secrets of The Book of Unwinding.
Now, on the longest night of the year, the streets of New Orleans will become a battleground as Alice and the few she can trust engage in a war amid the final days of magic. But the revelations that lie ahead may be too dark to escape.

                      MY REVIEW 
   Alice Marin has finally be freed from the illusory realm but the world she has been freed into is a world where the remnants of magic are passing away quickly . With that happening it is also taking with it the unity of the witches and along with the unity along with their sanity . She is fighting of finding out who her true parents are and a friend who is battling her own demons .  With the longest night of the year coming up fast Alice must figure out to defeat the destructive forces that haunt her family , Will she survive the night and will she survive the secrets that are too dark to be revealed . 

   The characters in this installment were written well but I felt that they just weren't as complex as the characters in the first two books . Alice seems to be just hanging on sometimes by a thread . She does come off just a little be naïve at the beginning but she does grow into the witch that she is suppose to be . She does get stronger as the book goes on . Natalie is kind a crazy her demons really drive her around the bend .  They are good characters I just think they need a little more depth to them . 


   I was so excited to see the third book in the series . I truly loved the first two books and was just excited to get it . I sat down and started reading, I will say I couldn't really connect with the main characters in this installment . I felt that they were just there going through the movements . You sometimes feel lost while you were reading . There were also times where I kind of skipped over the inner monologues . I just felt that they didn't really need to be there . I will say the second part of the book was better then the first part . When they started battling and fighting to keep the magic . It was going great and then it just stopped . There were parts I truly loved in this book I mean there are parts that are slow but it really doesn't over shadow the rest of the story at all . I strongly suggest that you read the first two book so you know that is going on and who all the characters are . If you want a good witch series for your summer check them out .

WELCOME BACK TO MONDAY

 Its Monday all , hope you all had a great weekend and got lots of reading done . Today I have a crime thriller for you DEAD FISH by Ruth Carrington .


                            BOOK BLURB 




Dr Geoffrey Quinn arrives home in the middle of the night to find his children missing, the charred remains of his wife’s body in the boiler and Chief Superintendent Manning waiting to arrest him for her murder. Enter Alison Hope: small, attractive, determined, and briefed to defend him.

Quinn claims he is innocent, but Alison is not so sure. The background becomes increasingly murky as she penetrates a wealthy and ruthless circle who cannot risk their secrets coming to light. Behind a façade of genteel society parties, their hard drugs and kinky sex could be embarrassing. But - deeper hidden - swirl dangerous currents of child molestation, mega-fraud and illegal arms dealing. Crimes they will kill to conceal?

Underlying everything is the inexorable deadline of Quinn’s trial. Can Alison unravel the mystery in time to save him? It seems she hasn’t a chance. ‘Then give it up,’ counsels her lover, eccentric private investigator George Kristianssen: ‘Go with the flow.’ But Alison is resolute. Only Dead Fish go with the flow.

                             MY REVIEW 
  What do you do when you arrive home one evening to find your children gone and your wife burned to death in the boiler . That has what happened to Dr Geoffery Quinn. In comes Alison Hope a bright eyed lawyer who is determined to help him out . But as she dives into the world that Geoffery is part of the chances of him being innocent are not looking good . There is more going on then people will let on, as the trial looms closer and closer  Alison must figure it all out or die trying . 
  
    Ok I tried really hard to love these characters but alas I just couldn't fall in love with them I found that I really just couldn't connect with them . Don't get me wrong they are well written but I really just wanted to strangle Quinn a few times . He really came off as a douche and I was really kinda hoping that he actually did do it . Just for poor Alison's sake . Alison was a go getter but sometimes she just came off way to eager and some times a whiner . Over all these are good characters just wish there was some more depth to them.

  I am very torn on this book , I truly wanted to like it but in some parts I just really wanted to skim because I just felt that it really didn't belong . The parts that I did love were well written and you can really see the main characters trying to their best .The court room scenes were well written and it did catch my interest . Over all i really did like the book I just wished that the author went over it one more time and added some depth to the characters and some suspense to the chapters . If you want to give it a try check it out .

WELCOME TO WEDNESDAY

 Well we made it to Wednesday , woohooo us . today I have a graphic novel for you . REVIVAL  by Tim Seeley .

                            BOOK BLURB 

      For one day in rural central Wisconsin, the dead came back to life. Now it's up to Officer Dana Cypress to deal with the media scrutiny, religious zealots, and government quarantine that has come with them. In a town where the living have to learn to deal with those who are supposed to be dead, Officer Cypress must solve a brutal murder, and everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect. The sell-out hit series created by NYT Bestselling author TIM SEELEY and Eisner winning artist MIKE NORTON is collected with bonus material!


                             MY REVIEW 
 When the people you love start to come back to life, you start to wonder what the heck is going on . That is what is happening in a small town in rural Wisconsin.  Officer Dana Cypress has to deal with the backlash that is going on . Will they small town survive the onslaught is about to hit them straight on

   The characters in this novel are well written and complex . Officer Dana Cypress is one of the main characters and she is tough and sassy . She wants to figure out how these people are coming back to life .  But the best characters in the book are the Revivers the ones that have come back to life . Martha , Dana's sister, is one of those people . She may look ok on the outside but there is a darkness about her and Dana has to figure out who murdered her on top of everything else .

   I was excited to get this book , I really love graphic novels and this one was on my bucket list to read. I really like that is based in Wisconsin and the author uses actual places in the state . The characters are well written and complex . You will love them . The drawings are so sweet . Each panel looks old school and the there are some dark components to the story . Tim Seeley writes a wonderful story that is part murder mystery , part horror and part drama . There are multi layers to this story and you can follow it through each of the threads . Now lets talk illustrations . Mike Norton is amazing at taking each character in the story and making them unique in their own way . He truly brings the story to life in each panel . I recomend  this book to anyone who loves a good story and great illustrations to go with the story . I would add it to my summer reading challenge .

GOOD TUESDAY

Good morning all today I have a book that I actually was really excited to read .  It is actually part of the DC icons series . CATWOMAN (Soul stealer ) by Sarah J Maas

                             BOOK BLURB 

 
Sizzling with action and suspense, #1 New York Times bestselling author SARAH J. MAAS delivers a coming-of-age Selina Kyle who will steal readers' hearts in a new, highly anticipated YA blockbuster: CATWOMAN!

When the Bat's away, the Cat will play. It's time to see how many lives this cat really has.

Two years after escaping Gotham City's slums, Selina Kyle returns as the mysterious and wealthy Holly Vanderhees. She quickly discovers that with Batman off on a vital mission, Gotham City looks ripe for the taking.

Meanwhile, Luke Fox wants to prove that as Batwing he has what it takes to help people. He targets a new thief on the prowl who has teamed up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. Together, they are wreaking havoc. This Catwoman is clever--she may be Batwing's undoing.

In this third DC Icons book, Selina is playing a desperate game of cat and mouse, forming unexpected friendships and entangling herself with Batwing by night and her devilishly handsome neighbor Luke Fox by day. But with a dangerous threat from the past on her tail, will she be able to pull off the heist that's closest to her heart?

                          MY REVIEW 
  What is a cat to do when the bat is away . Two years after escaping the slums of Gotham our feline , Selina Kyle comes back as the wealthy but mysterious Holly Vanderhees. When she realizes that Batman is not in Gotham she hatches a plan to pick Gotham clean .  With the help of Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn they start wreaking havoc in Gotham. Luke Fox aka Batwing wants to prove to the people of Gotham that he has what it takes to help protect the people . When he runs into Cat woman , she just maybe the Batwings undoing . Will they be able to keep love out of the picture and will Cat woman be able to save herself from a threat from the past and keep her heart intact . 

    I have always loved the character of Cat Woman , she has intrigued me and I must say that this character is well written and complex. Selina is so complex she has come through so much and she is tough and well really kind of snarky . She doesn't let anyone or anything put her down .  There is actually a sadness to her also, you know all she wants is love and to be loved . She has been pushed into the life she had all to protect her younger sister and get her the medical help she needed .  You will actually care for Selina when you read her back story and cheer for her through out the book . Now lets talk Luke aka Bat Wing . He is cool and sexy and probably the only super hero that can keep Gotham safe but really we don't get to get to know him. He is basically put in there for a love interest for Selina . He is sexy and sweet and yes you will swoon but I wish we got to get to know him a little more .  Over all I did love these characters and yes I even loved Harley Quin and Poison Ivy as Selina's friends and confidantes . 

     I was so excited when I got this book in a book box I ordered . I have always loved super hero stories but I am truly a villain girl at heart . I love Cat Woman so much , she has always had a place in my heart. The author takes her story and ramps it up ten fold . She takes us on such an emotional roller coaster ride.  I was sucked in by page 10 ,  I cried and laughed all the way through this book .   So if you want a great story that will captivate you and keep you reading check it out . I can't wait to dive into the other books in the series . So if you are a comic fan check out the book you will not be disappointed . Add this book to your summer reading list .

WOOHOO IT IS FRIDAY THE START OF THE WEEKEND

   Woohoo its the start of the weekend . Today we are going to review a graphic novel , I haven't done a comic in awhile so I decided it was time . SNOWMAN  by Mark Andrew Poe is up today.

                           BOOK BLURB 

  When mayor Kligore announces his plan to build the world’s largest snowman in the middle of town, the residents of Sleepy Hollow are thrilled! Media coverage will be epic, for sure, as the town constructs a perfect snow and ice replica of the Headless Horseman statue. Town revenue will skyrocket! What could possibly go wrong? Plenty! Harry Moon had his suspicions from the get-go. But when the massive snow sculpture springs to life and begins an evil rampage through town, it’s Mayor Kligore who asks Harry for help. It all comes down to a mano a mano battle between Harry and Sleepy Hollow’s newest villain, Lazarus. This is a battle Harry must win or Sleepy Hollow will be destroyed under the crushing hoofs of the Headless Horseman.


                          MY REVIEW 
   Welcome to Sleepy Hollow where there is magic everywhere . When the mayor announces the worlds largest snowman , the residents of town are thrilled . When the town makes a perfect replica of the headless horseman . Something is going to go awry as the massives snow sculpture comes to life and Harry Moon must figure out how it happened . Harry must battle Sleepy hollows newest villian Lazarus . Will Harry win or will Sleep Hollow be destroyed by the headless horseman . 

   The characters in this book are well written . The mayor is a bad guy who is in the graveyard trying spells at midnight . You know he is evil but you wish he could maybe be just a tiny bit more evil . Harry is a cool kid, who can work magic . He is a good kid and wants to do good and keep Sleepy Hollow safe  The characters are cute and you will really like them and cheer for them . 

    They call this a graphic novel but i call it more a comic. It is great for your middle school kids its not that scary . The drawings are great and the author takes us on an adventure through the streets of Sleepy Hollow. It is a cute twist on the legend of Sleepy Hollow .  This would be a great addition to your kids reading challenge this summer . Check it out

OK ITS WEDNESDAY

  Ok its hot and windy out and its only Wednesday . I hope that your Wednesday is going a lot better . I have a sweet novella for you today from Savannah Verte and her book IMPOSSIBELLA ( a flip flopped fairy tale . )

                       BOOK BLURB

   
Bippity…Boppity…Balance.

We all know how Cinderella went to the ball, met her prince, lost a shoe, and got her happily ever after...but did you know that for such a magical thing to occur the universe demands a price? As a matter of fact, an equal measure in return.

Isabella Beaufort was born at the top of the social food chain. She had everything, including being promised to Prince Christopher, until the ill-fated ball where he met Cinderella. Follow along as we learn about the other side of the rags to riches story we all know, and the price of pissing off a fairy godmother.

                       MY REVIEW 
    What do you do when you are the fairy godmother of the young girl that is born at the top of the food chain. A princess , a spoiled princess to be totally honest . Flora is the godmother to Isabella . The child is beautiful but also very spoiled and there is nothing she can do about it but try and guide her to be a better person.  Her sister Fern gets to be the godmother to an adorable little girl Ariella , who has a hard life after loosing her mother in child birth. Each girl is totally different from each other but their paths are going to cross on their eighteenth birthday .  Now we will know the rest of the story of Cinderella . 
   
  What a way to twist up the tale of Cinderella . The fairy godmothers are both hilarious and oh so funny . They both want to help their charges but alas they can't . They get so frustrated and that's when the fun begins for them. I really loved Fern and Flora they will have you laughing from the very beginning . Now lets talk princess's Isabella is so spoiled you really want to just turn her over your knee and spank her . She is whiny and thinks she can have anything and everything, even prince Christopher Ariella is as sweet as sweet can be even though she has a hard life she is just a lovely girl . When her life gets even more desperate she discovers the back bone that she had all along and stands up for what she wants, even if it the prince . I truly loved each and every character in this book, they are well written and have a depth to them .

    I found this book through a friend and i was really glad i got it . The characters are well written and hilarious, the story is fun and it is an easy read . The author takes us on a fun filled ride with a fairy tale that is flipped on its side . It is great to see the story from another perspective , that of the fairy godmothers . This would be a great read for your summer beach reads . It is short and sweet and you will enjoy each and every page . Check it out even your tweens would get a kick out of it

GOOD MONDAY ALL

 Welcome back to Monday made it through the weekend and now I am hiding in an air conditioned house while the temps soar to the high 90s , no spring for this girl went from winter to summer . Ok enough complaining . Today I have a brand new indie author and her really hot erotic space book  ROCKET MAN ( Sci fi Alien erotic romance ) by Joy Foster.

                            BOOK BLURB 

   
One of America's most famous events to happen was when we landed two men on the moon. Now, let's put a beautiful woman, and a delicious man in the mix instead and you are only starting to get the idea of this erotic sci-fi space romance. Just when you think there can't be any sexier more erotic things happening, that is when Stone and Galena, two space pirates abduct them and intend to sell them as sex slaves on their home planet. This is a page turner for sure!

If you are brave enough to try an indie book then let me thank you in advance!


                       MY REVIEW 
   Welcome to the next great space adventure . What do you think would happen when you put a beautiful woman and a oh so sexy man both astronauts on a space ship that is heading out on a deep space voyage. Astronauts Kate and Ryan on a trip that will take them to the outer reaches of space . But they are harbouring a secret that could of grounded them from the project .  As they travel through space they are well abducted by some space aliens . Galena and Stone well lets just say he is as tall as he is well you can get the idea . When they decide to have some fun before taking Kate and Ryan back with them . Everything is turned on its head and the real fun starts . 
   
   The characters in Rocket Man are very well written . Kate well she is a hard working woman you would love to be friends with but also she would take you down with just a look . Ryan is well he is the alpha man that well you want to climb him like a spider monkey through out the book . He is a man's man and knows what he wants and that person is Kate . They are so hot together . They get even hotter when Galena and Stone come aboard . Now if you thought Ryan is hot . Stone is on fire, he is the one you will want to swing from the rafters with . He is very talented and you know the saying hung like a horse well that describes Stone to a tee . Galena is also a woman who knows what she wants and knows how to get it . I really liked these characters and when they all get together they are on fire. 

    I started reading this book with no preconceived notions . This author is a new indie author so I decided to give her a try. I was not disappointed , there were times in this book I was blushing really bad. Other times I was fanning myself cause I seriously think my kindle was on fire . This is a fun filled romp with lots of steamy times and some actual romance too . The characters are well written and you will fall in love with all of them or let me rephrase that you will fall in lust with them . I honestly never knew that space could be so steamy . The author puts in some really great twists and turns . You really don't know if the alien pirates are good or bad but you will love the antics they get up to with the two astronauts . This is a book that you should put on your reading list for your summer . It is a hot little book that will have you heating up in the shade .
