HAPPY LEAP YEAR

Well today is February 29 leap year . Now you single ladies you can propose to your fella today . If you don't want to I have a book for you to take you away . A SCOT'S DEVOTION book two in the MacLomain clan series  by Sky Purington .

                            BOOK BLURB 


Can true love happen twice?

The last thing Chloe expects when she travels to New Hampshire is to end up with a mysterious Claddagh ring and a fated romance. If that isn't enough, she's been thrown into a love triangle and meant to help a medieval country in peril.

Torn between the deceased lass he still loves and the modern-day woman destined for him, Laird Aidan Hamilton sets out with Chloe to protect King David II from Edward Balliol and his disenfranchised nobles, the 'disinherited.' A quest that ultimately means facing off with the dark brotherhood with which they are aligned.

Thrust on a whirlwind adventure alongside Scotland's Guardian, Donald, Earl of Mar, Aidan and Chloe wind up on a passionate journey neither foresaw. One that carries them down a path that tests Aidan's resolve and challenges his lonely heart. Will he remain devoted to his long lost love? Or will defeating the enemy mean embracing someone new?

                                 MY REVIEW  
 What is a girl to do when she heads to New Hampshire to visit a friend and ends up with a mysterious Claddagh ring and one fated romance . She rolls with the punches . Laird Aiden Hamilton is torn between the love he lost and the love that fated for him.  As he heads out to protect King David  along with Chloe . They are thrust into a whirlwind adventure and a romance that will take them to places they never thought they would go and will Aiden realize that Chloe is more then just a distraction and that she might of been with him all along . 

   I love Aiden and Chloe so much , they are well written and complex. Aiden is a tortured soul that is caught between a love that he thought was his and the love that is fated for him . He is sexy and oh so stubborn and sometimes you just want to hit him upside the head to knock the stupid out of him. Chloe well there is more to her then first meets the eye . She is feisty and straightforward and I love hew she puts Aiden in his place a few times . She does have her own secrets and is scared of love because of what she went through . They are such fun characters to read and you will love them . 

    When we first met Aiden in book one I really liked him, he made it known that he will never love another . Maeve was his and he would love her forever . Now in book two we find him reevaluating what love is and who is suppose to be his . The author takes us on another adventure into the past . The story is a fun fast read and you will love the characters . It seems in this book the author dove a little deeper and got us to connect with the main characters a little deeper . I am really liking this series and can't wait to see where the author takes us with the men of the MacLomain clan . So if you want a story with hot highlanders and yes there are dragons in this series also. Check it out you will not be disappointed .

WOOHOOO ITS FRIDAY

Good Friday all we made it , and guess what it is the end of February also . Well tomorrow is leap year and all is great on the farm .  Today we are going to Willow Valley and the bad boys who work hard and play hard . DAX is book one and STONE is book two written by Shannyn Leah .

                           BOOK BLURB 


Dax Colyn is one of the bad boys of Willow Valley. A fearless volunteer firefighter and hard working, sexy mechanic, he makes all the woman swoon and he likes it that way. He keeps people at a distance since his mother died. He doesn't want to let anyone in, much less a woman he knows he could fall in love with. Ava Anderson keeps people away, too. Haunted by her tortured past and constantly fearful of the future, it's only her daughter Olivia and Dax's dad Rowdy that she's let in. But when tragedy strikes, it pushes Dax and Ava together, forcing them both to let go of their fears. They soon learn how hard it is to keep pretending and how easy it is to let others in. Especially when those people are family. "Dax" is the first in the "Bad Boys of Willow Valley" series from author Shannyn Leah.


                        MY REVIEW 
  Dax well he is a playboy , sexy and smart and just a good guy . Volunteer firefighter and mechanic who loves the ladies but there is more to him .  The one woman that he could fall in love with is off limits . Ava , who is tortured by a past and doesn't want to be fearful of the future . With her daughter and the father that she has known and a grandpa for Olivia , Rowdy is Dax's father is the only man she let in . When the unspeakable happens that brings Dax and Ava together and find the love that they deserve . Or will the past come between them and take all they have away from them 

  Both the main characters have secrets that are hiding , they are both running away from things that scare them . Dax is your typical playboy that is oh so sexy and he knows it . There is also a kind of sadness in him that you see through out the story . Ava is well she is feisty but also there is stick up her backside and needs to relax a bit . We do see her start to become more well rounded as you read through the story . They are well written and you will love to hate them .

   This is a book that you can read in an afternoon while curled up . The story is flows well and you will love the characters. There are a few things that I felt like I have read before . I just found it a little dragging in some areas . Over all I enjoyed the story and the characters are good .  They will make you fall in love with them and you will hate them also at the same time . So if you want a good read that will have laughing and crying this is the book for you 

book two 
                        BOOK BLURB

   
Stone Patino was once a bad boy, but not since moving to Willow Valley. He left that bad boy life behind years ago. Left it in the underground fighting ring he used to call his home. Now, he lives in the country and works on cars. He prefers the simple life without someone trying to put their fist through his face on a weekly basis. There's just one thing about that life he misses.

Bowie Blake was once a bad girl too. But now she's a socialite turned reality TV star who turned her back ten years ago on the love of her life, Stone Patino.

Full of regret and needing help, she seeks out Stone again. She drags Stone back into the ring to fight her battles and save her wheelchair-bound brother. Stone agrees, but must fight through his own demons and his love for Bowie. Both soon learn it's not easy to fight the same battles they'd already fought and lost so many years ago. But now it's a fight they both aim to win.

                       MY REVIEW 
   Stone is Dax's best friend and mechanic at Dax's autobody shop.  He left his bad boy ways behind him. Leaving the underground fighting for a life he can be proud of . He is living the simple life with friends and a job he loves . Until a blast from his past blows back into his life and brings him back to the world he left behind .  Bowie pulls him back into the life of underground fights and its not easy to go back to.
  Stone and Bowie are characters that you want to love an hate at the same time . Stone is sexy and kind of dangerous in a way that will make you swoon . Bowie well she is one of those women who think they have it under control but when push comes to shove she needs help from the one man who has been there . She comes off tough but honestly she has a big chip on her shoulder when it comes to her family . They are a fun read and you will like them or hate them but they are fun loved them . 
  This is the second book in the series and I will say I actually liked this book a little more then the first book . The characters seem a little bit more complex and you will love to love them and you will hate them at the same time . The story flowed better also and you feel like you get to know them a little bit more . It could be that I am drawn to more of the underground fighting and what a man would do for the love that did get away from him . This is a book that you can read in an afternoon and yes there were a few spots where it kind of dragged but over all I truly enjoyed this book .

GOOD THURSDAY ALL

 Good morning all its Friday eve and I have the first two books in the Blood Prophecy for you today .
QUEEN'S DESTINY  and QUEEN'S ENEMY  by Barb Jones


                             BOOK BLURB 

 Amber Stone, once a child prodigy, has just become curator of a special collection of Macedonian artifacts for the Seattle Museum of Natural History. Chloe, a prodigy of a different sort, holds a position at the museum focusing on tribal art. The two become fast friends, united by Amber's unsettling dreams and Chloe's unorthodox ways of dealing with them. Two strangers arrive in town, bringing with them a prophecy recorded more than three-thousand years ago, a prophecy that places Amber directly in the midst of a battle that has spanned a millennia.

                          MY REVIEW 
  Amber Stone has just become the curator of a collection of Macedonian artifacts , for the Seattle Museum of Natural History becomes friends with Chloe a curator of tribal art. When two strangers come to town and tell them aboup a three thousand year old prophecy that throw Amber right in the middle of a battle that has spanned millennia.

   This story has quite a few characters involved . Amber is the main character and she is feisty but sometimes a little naive . There is more to her then meets the eye . She is also a vampire if she turns and a queen . So there is a lot on her plate and she is trying to deal with it all . Chloe is her best friend and a witch who is like all best friends trying to help Amber pick up the pieces and fit everything together . There are so many characters including witches , werewolves vampires and so many more . 

   This is a story where you have to concentrate on what is going on . you really have to work on figuring out what is happening . We do jump from past to present in this book and you kind of get lost on the way. But oh boy when you get sucked in you get sucked in good . The story has everything witches , werewolves and vampires all together thrown into a prophecy. Overall i loved the story and the characters I just felt that it was a bit confusing at times ,  Like I said that you have to work for it but man it is worth the journey in the end . So if you want a story that is interesting and will have you on the edge of your seat check it out

 book two 

                        BOOK BLURB 


When you are in love with the one you fear and hate the most, it leaves you no options. How can you fight her, protect her, love her, when all it would do is leave you in pieces?

Amber and Chloe are pulled deeper into the Prophecy that reveals itself as the Blood Moon rises. Michael is pulled and torn into different directions. His choice is fated but is not known until Amber embraces her true destiny and is crowned Queen.

Together, all four embark on a journey, joined by new allies, enemies and the past. A child is born to be the instrument of the Queen.

This is the preparation for the upcoming Epic battle that has spanned a millennia. 

                          MY REVIEW 
  Chloe and Amber are getting pulled in deeper and deeper into the prophecy . Michael is getting pulled  into two different directions . With his choice fated and is unknown until Amber is crowned queen . A child will be born to be the hand of the Queen and the epic battle is being prepared for . Will they all be able to come out and survive . 

  In this book we find out more about the prophecy and what parts everyone will play . I love Chloe and her baby and their quirkiness. They are such fun characters reading . Amber well she is feisty and is still coming to terms with what is going on . Michael i really feel for him he is being pulled in so many directions and really doesn't know how or what to do. There are more and more characters added to the group .

  This book has some time jumping and back stories which I honestly got confused a few times. We find out more about the prophecy on the blood moon . Amber and Chloe are falling deeper down the rabbit hole so to speak . With each of them trying to figure out what they are going to do . Michael poor Michael is really going through it in this book all you want to do is hug him . The story is good and the characters are great but there are areas in the book that are just confusing and dragging . There are a few issues where a good run through one more time with an editor would clear up . Overall I truley enjoyed the story and the characters . So if you want a story that will have you on the edge of your seat check it out

Books to curl up with: HAPPY WEDNESDAY ALL

Books to curl up with: HAPPY WEDNESDAY ALL:   Welcome to Wednesday wow I felt naked yesterday without my laptop . But I am back with a brand new laptop and a brand new review for you ....

HAPPY WEDNESDAY ALL

  Welcome to Wednesday wow I felt naked yesterday without my laptop . But I am back with a brand new laptop and a brand new review for you . Today I am going to review  MARIS  (the Brotherhood files ) book one by Isaiyan  Morrison .

                            BOOK BLURB 


She gave me her blood, and my life changed forever.

Anastasia. My sire. The only influential figure in my already-fragile life. She did this to me. She caused all the pain and suffering. There was a time I believed I owed her everything. After all, she gave me immortality and the never-ending thirst for the psychic energy contained in the blood of my victims.

But now vampires hunt me and the humans want to use me as their personal weapon. They believe I'm some apotropaic figurine that can damn all Deamhan and force us back into hell where we belong.

Me? I just want to live. I just want to be Maris. That way, the only one I can damn is myself. 

                         MY REVIEW 
 Anastasia was my sire and now I have vampires hunting me and humans that want to use me to their own gains . Maris just wants to live her life and not be part of the world she is part of now . She just wants to have her life back . 
 
   This is a book that has some very interesting characters . Maris is a young woman that has been turned and now is having trouble dealing . She is a Deanham and trying to figure out what she is suppose to do . She is feisty and a really fun read . We see her from the beginning of her change to the tough lady she becomes . There are so many diverse characters through out this book . Which are so well written . You will fall in love with all of them . 

  This is a book where you have to sit down and get snuggled down . Cause once you start reading you will be reading until the end . She takes the main character from the begining of her journey and all the way through. The author shows the Deamhams for what they are and what they are monsters . I will say though that there were just a few parts that dragged a little and kind of slowed the story down just a bit . Over all i truly enjoyed this story and I am definately will read the second book in this series . So if you want a series with Deamham and other monsters check it out

HAPPY RELEASE DAY FOR FLAME

 Good morning all well i should say almost noon , have I told you all how much I hate technology well today is that day . But alas i have a laptop running so on with it . Today I am excited to share with all of you the second book in the Web of Desire series FLAME by Aleatha Romig



                            BOOK BLURB 

 
“What matters most is how you walk through the fire.” ~ Charles Bukowski

No longer simmering and crackling beyond our realm, the fire smoldering in the distance roars to life. The blaze has the capacity to scorch and destroy everything and everyone in its path.

All that I’ve known and believed was obliterated the moment Madeline spoke a truth I’d never suspected. With one sentence, one plea, my life has taken an uncharted turn. Through the smoke and soot, I search for answers.

A man, an outfit, and my brothers-in-arms have been my solace, my calling, and my reason to live. Now that I know there’s more, what will the future hold?

The Ivanov bratva wants Chicago. I want what they possess. With the Sparrow world at war, and Madeline’s declaration, she and I are surrounded, trapped by the inferno.

What will remain when the flames cease and we are left surveying the ashes?

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new dark romance, FLAME, set in the dangerous world of Sparrow Webs. You do not need to read the Web of Sin or Tangled Web trilogy to get caught up in this new and intriguing saga, Web of Desire.

FLAME is book two of the WEB OF DESIRE trilogy that began in SPARK and concludes in ASHES.
Have you been Aleatha’d?
                      MY REVIEW 

   Flame starts right where Spark left off . Maddie is being held by Sparrow's men and Ivanov is off to get her and Patrick's daughter. Maddie is scared for her daughter and scared of the man that Patrick has become. While everyone is scrambling to get to the truth . Patrick will do anything to help the woman he still loves and get to the bottom of why she left so many years ago. Will they be able to come through the flames without getting burnt . 

    The team is back and fighting the war against Bratva family that want Chicago . When Patrick finds out his daughter is in their clutches he will do everything to get her back . I must say that i love Patrick he has been through so much and still is fighting . He is strong, sexy and oh so kissable . You really get to see the lengths he will go to keep Sterling and the rest of the Sparrows safe and do what must be done to help Maddie get their daughter back.  Maddie at the beginning is well she is like a scared little rabbit as you read though she becomes such a kick butt woman . Who will do what ever it takes to help Patrick and get her daughter back . 

     This maybe the second book in the series but holy moly what a book it is . This book starts right where book one left off and has you on the edge of your seat the whole read . The author really puts us through the wringer with her writing style . The characters are so well written and get more complicated with each book . We find out so much more of Maddie's back story in this book. That alone will make you cry and break your heart . Then there is Patrick's story that will just rip your heart out . I have never cried so hard and cheered so hard then when i was reading this book . I truly adore these characters and wow the twist at the end will send you into shock . I can't wait till book three comes out I want to see if everyone will get their happily ever after . So if you want a book that will have you on the edge of your  seat this is the book for you . Check it out .

GOOD MONDAY MORNING ALL

 Good morning all , yes it is Monday but I have coffee so I shall get through the day . Today I have book two and three in the Glowing series by VJ LEE . First up DREAMGLOW book two

                            BOOK BLURB 

 
When plain unassuming curly haired Rose Samuel got pulled into the sleek, sexy Light alien world, she
never dreamed she would find her niche being their therapist. Heck, a few months ago had anyone told
her this alien race existed she would have pointed them in the direction of the nearest psychiatrist.
Falling for the stunningly gorgeous long-haired lead Healer Apollo was a major perk of her job. Now if
Rose could get Apollo to make time for her, it would be a dream come true.
Apollo didn’t have time for distractions, and the inquisitive little Rose was a huge distraction. His destiny
as the lead healer for his race took up most of his time the rest was devoted to his mission of finding his
family-the same beings that betrayed the entire colony. With their enemies, the Dark Ones not only
trying to enslave all humankind but also unleashing a new dark predator onto the Light there was barely
time even to sleep much less have a relationship.
Will Rose and Apollo be able to use the light in their relationship to connect their dreams or will the
darkness lurking inside forever pull them into nightmares.

                          MY REVIEW 
    When Rose got pulled into the light alien world she never thought that she would actually find her spot in the world . As their therapist and friend and who knew that she would fall in love with the sexy gorgeous healer Apollo . Apollo didn't need the distraction but is Rose really a distraction . He is the lead healer and he must find his family to stop them . Will Rose and Apollo be able to find out what they need in each other and their relationship or will family and the darkness within them  will rip them apart . 

  All the main characters in the first book are back and better then ever . Rose and Apollo have such chemistry that could melt your kindle . The story is well written and continues where book one left off . There are some new characters added to the mix and there is some tension sexual or not between two of the main characters that will have you hoping that they will hook up . The author takes us on a emotional roller coaster ride . You feel like you have been sucker punched a few times through out the book . We can feel for the characters and there are moments when you are trying to figure out why they just blew up the relationship. The only thing that stopped me from giving it a 5 star is that it seemed to drag just a little in a few areas. Over all i loved the story and can't wait to read book three 


book three MOONGLOW 

                         BOOK BLURB 

   
Tiponi Grant has been running with her son from a familiar darkness for over twenty years. The only constant in her life is her need to keep her son safe and…wolves. When the always in control Tiponi is pulled into the world of the stunning Light aliens and thrust into the arms of Tate Runningwolf it should be no big surprise she is drawn to him his last name has wolf in it after all, but he makes her feel out of control and that will never do. What is a surprise however is that this gorgeous man claims to know her. Why can’t she remember him? What will it take to coax those memories out of hiding?

Tate Runningwolf has been on the hunt for his mate for the last twenty years and he knows exactly when she is brought back into his orbit. Now it’s his soul mission to make her remember the life they once shared a life they can have again. Will she choose to stay once she regains her memories of him or will the devil chasing her pull them both to hell? He will stop at nothing to keep her from running again.

                         MY REVIEW 
  Tiponi Grant has been running for over twenty years from a darkness that is chasing her and her son. There is one constant in her life and that is to keep her son safe . She is always in control but when the light aliens pull her into the world and right into the arms of Tate Runningwolf .  The man makes her feel out of control and she is so attracted to him and there is a familarity to him that is pulling her towards him over and over . Tate has been looking for his mate for over twenty years . Once she comes back into his orbit its time to bring her home . Will Tiponi want to stay after she regainst all her memories and will Tate be able to help her thwart the darkness chasing both of them . 

  Wow book three throws a big twist in the alien story line by adding werewolves to the mix. I really loved how the characters are growing and becoming really complex .  Tate is oh so sexy and strong . Tiponi is such a complex woman and when she becomes unraveled its is so fun to read . The devotion between the two main characters are so sweet and the sexual tension is off the charts . This is a great addition to the series , the only draw back like in book two it just seemed to drag just a little in a few areas . Over all i really enjoyed the book and loved the addition to wolves to the mix . Check it out you will not be disappointed

GOOD SUNDAY ALL

 Good Sunday every one I hope everyone is having a great weekend . Today I have a fun novella by N.L Hoffmann  THE RAVEN (Cursed by dark book one )


                            BOOK BLURB 



A secret revealed, a fight against desires, and a dark curse.


Megan Argent is an assassin in need of much desired break until she receives information on a target she’s been waiting for. The elusive vampire, Jareth, who’s behind killing her mother, has a price on his head.


Hot on Jareth’s trail, Megan begins to discover secrets that leave her with more questions than answers. Lies are starting to unravel forcing her to work with the vampire blamed for her entire world falling apart. When he begins to help her fight the newly discovered family curse known as the Darkness, Megan quickly realizes there’s a different, more attractive side to the man who hides behind his monster.


Megan’s not sure her and Jareth will be able to come out of the fight alive. Sacrifices are made, but will they be enough?


***This is a novella. This is book one to a series where the following books published will be full size. This story was previously in the Dirty Dozen Vampire Anthology.***

                             MY REVIEW 
   Meet Megan Argent , an assassin that is in desperate need of a vacation. Until she finally gets the info that she has been waiting for on a target that she has wanted to apprehend . The vampire that has supposed killed her mother. As Megan tracks Jareth down she begins to discover secrets that leave her asking more questions then getting answers . She now has to ask the vampire she has been hunting for help to figure out the curse that is following her known as the darkness . Will they figure each other out and will they come out the other side of the fight alive . Sacrafices will be made but will they be enough . 

   The characters i must say for being a novella are so well written . I love Megan so much she is feisty and man can she kick butt .  There is a mystery about her too that we can see start to come out as we read. Jareth well he is a real mystery , at first he seems like the bad guy and you really do dislike him . Like any good character there is more to him then meets the eye . He truly is the character that is hiding something good inside him and such a suave exterior . They are such fun characters to read . I really liked them . 

   This is a novella that you can read in an hour or two if you want to take your time . The author weaves a tale that will have you on the edge of your seat . The characters you can't help fall in love with them in a short about of time . I really wanted the story to go on . I felt like it just ended way too soon . I can't wait to see where the author will take these characters . I am hoping for some full length novels in this series future . So if you want to read a fun read this is the book for you .

GOOD SATURDAY ALL

  Welcome to a beautiful Saturday , today I have a new author for you , I AM AMYARA ( Amyara  daughter of Eros book one) by  Hannah Earl


                           BOOK BLURB 

 
Life should be fairly simple for an average, teen girl meandering her way through high school…you would think.
Sophia Papas’ only concern is finding the right color dress for Prom until a life-threatening car accident twists the hands of fate…literally! Everything she thinks to be true is turning out to be one big, Greek lie.
Her father isn’t dead, he just went home…to Mount Olympus! That isn’t just some weird, random guy stalking her hospital room…it’s a freakin’ Demon! That isn’t one of the Fates shooting green magic out of her hands…OK - that IS one of the Fates shooting green magic out of her hands. And the topping on the Baklava is Sophia’s new found powers seem to introduce themselves at the most inopportune moments.
How did this happen? What does that make Sophia? Can she live a normal life? CAN SHE HAVE A REGULAR BOYFRIEND? bu
Questions are piling up and danger is getting closer. Only time will tell what the future has in store.

                      MY REVIEW 
     Sophie Papas really thinks that here high school life would be easy until the day her and her sister get into a horrible car accident. Things start to change and boy do they change . She finds out that everything she has been told is one great big lie and her father is alive and living on Mount Olympus . Yes he is a God and then there is a guy stalking her hospital room and well he is a demon.  Then there is the boyfriend that well she thought was normal but alas will anything be normal again . 

   There are a so many characters in this book that are in this book . The main character Sophie is sometimes naive as you start this book . She just is kind of just there but as the story goes on she really is a fun read . She starts to come into her powers and man its so funny to read .  Conner is so sweet to read he is so protective of Sophie and he is so cute when he does it . I just really love these two together .  We have her best friend who is the comic relief betwen them all . She is so fun and pushy in her own way . LIke i said there are so many characters to mention but they are so much fun to read . 

   I will say this is a pretty good read  it took me a few chapters to actually get into the story and figure out what was happening . The characters are well written but i just didn't feel a connection to them until they were out of the hospital and interacting together . Thats when i got into the story more . I really like the mix between Greek mythology and some other paranormal entities . There were some spelling mistakes and places where it lagged , which would rectify itself with another edit . Over all i truly enjoyed this story and would like to read more about these characters in her other books . This would be a really good for your teen ager on spring break . Check it out .

                           MY REVIEW 
    Julia has been helping out the Clan Maclomain  through time and space find the women that they are destined to be with back in their time . When the man of her dreams comes to her and asks her to come back with him to help him save and protect young King David the II from Edward Bailioi. But will they survive and save the young king or will breaking the rules of predestined mates destroy all that they are trying to save . 

  Oh my goodness there are so many cool characters in this book . We have highlanders and man who doesn't love a man in a kilt. We have a dragon guard and throw in some witches and druids and you have on heck of a story . The two main characters in this book are Julia and Tiernan . Julia is one feisty woman , she is in love with Tiernan but could never act on it because she thought she wasn't destined to be his . But like you all know that with any good story rules are meant to be broken and broken they did .hehehehehehhe . Tiernan well he is a highlander with the Viking lineage behind him . He is kind of gruff but he is really sexy to.Trust me on this one ladies . You will fall in love with this bloke .  He is part perfect gentleman and part sexy highlander with a brute force that will take your breath away . 

   This is the first book I have read from this author and I must say I got sucked in to the lore and the fantasy of the book . Everything from the meaning of the Claddagh ring to the Scottish thistle . Oh and don't forget the sexy highlanders .  The author did a very good job combining all the Scottish heritage and the folk lore in her story . I did feel though that it kind of dragged just a little at times but over all it was a great book to read . I read it in an evening and honestly couldn't put it down . It honestly kind of gave me an outlander vibe with going through the stones and women finding the men they love back in the medieval tunes , which I love stories like that . So if you want a story full of love and destiny check out this book . I am on book two now and loving it .

WELCOME TO THURSDAY

   Welcome to Thursday or as I love to call it Friday eve . Today I have a romance story for your weekend . UNDER CONTRACT  by Jacquelyn Ayres

                            BOOK BLURB


This is a standalone. However, I do recommend reading in order!
*** Warning! This book contains strong language, a whole lot of sexy, obnoxiously funny best friends, and families that would do anything for each other ***


Charlotte McKendrick is your typical thirty-something stay-at-home mom. She has three beautiful children, a loving family, special friends, and the most wonderful, adoring husband. Her life is a dream.

Er . . . let’s try this again.

Charlotte McKendrick is not your typical thirty-something stay-at-home mom. Yes, she’s got three beautiful children, a loving family (all of them lingerers—you’ll see), and her friends are special, all right! As far as her wonderful, adoring husband, what a joke! That bastard abandoned her and the kids six months ago.

Now, she will do anything she can to survive and provide for her children. Even if it means signing on the dotted line . . .

Mitch Colton is the CEO of Colton Technologies. Most of his year is spent traveling around the world, bringing companies the latest innovations in automobile technology. He doesn’t have time for a traditional relationship and the BS that comes with it. He doesn’t do the “marriage” thing, the “kid” thing, and he certainly doesn’t do the “falling in love” thing. All that said, he still wants someone to come home to. Someone who will offer everything he wants, and nothing he doesn’t. He realizes loyalty paired with these kinds of demands won’t come cheap. No problem. What he doesn’t realize is that once Charlotte McKendrick signs that dotted line, he’ll be paying with a lot more than money.

                           MY REVIEW 
  Charlotte is a thirty something mom of three kids . Her husband left her and the kids high and dry so she does the thing and signs on the dotted line . With Mitch Colton the CEO of a tech company . Will they be able to keep from not falling in love with each other . 

   The characters in this book are well written , Mitch is an man who has been hurt and doesn't want to be hurt again . He is busy  and just doesn't want the hassle of the whole romance aspect of it. Charlotte is sweet but needs to support her family so she will do just  about anything . She really likes to put Mitch in his place a lot . They are a cute couple. 

   This is a book that has its good parts and its not so good parts. The premise is really good and the characters are fun to read, but there are plot holes really big and the over use baby drove me crazy .  The characters were sometimes annoying but over all they are a nice to read the in the first half of the book the second half of the book they are just annoying. I wanted to see where the characters went so I kept reading , I did enjoy the book and would like to see where she takes her other characters . So if you want  a book that will have you wondering what is going to happen to some sweet characters . This book is for you check it out,

HAPPY WEDNESDAY ALL

   Good Wednesday everyone , today I have a new author for you . Kathryn C. Kelly and her taboo book INFERNO (Phoenix Rising rock band book one )


                           BOOK BLURB 

  
I’m a rocker with the eyes of the world on me. Waiting for my triumph or my downfall…just waiting.
Most of my life is in my hands. My destiny? That’s another story. My destiny isn’t as debt free.
My band, Phoenix Rising, arrives in Houston to cut a new album. Before we perform our first concert in the city and I choose my groupies of the night, I’m thrust into debauchery. Sleeping with a gorgeous woman twenty years older than me has its perks, especially when her husband orchestrated the encounter and eagerly watches. To me, performing is performing. If a man wants to share his wife, who am I to stop him?
Unfortunately for me, I don’t make a clean getaway as I leave the McCall mansion. Georgie, their sixteen-year-old daughter, is in the midst of her own intrigue, sneaking home in the middle of the night after an evening of drugs and sex with her older brother’s best friend. In her, I see me. She’s lost and drifting. Her hedonistic parents insist she’s old enough to make her own decisions. Instead of time and love, they give her money and things.
I’m a twenty-five-year old international superstar and I know better. I’m cocky and arrogant. I know it so I own it. Somehow, I’ve always bested the fates. I have all to lose—my reputation, my career, and my freedom. Her mother’s jealousy forces my hand and I take Georgie on the tour.
This is our story and our secret relationship and the destruction of my life. You know the adage about secrets? Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. Wise words from a wise man. If only I had listened. Secrets have a way of revealing themselves in the harshest way.

                        MY REVIEW 
     When Sloane and his band show up in Houston to cut an album and he gets more then he bargains for . Yes he is arrogant and picks his groupies every night . Then it happens when he is asked to have sex with an older woman as her husband watches . Well he can't get away from the family that easily when their sixteen year old daughter Georgie gets her claws into him . He can't get away and she won't let go . Will they come out with their hearts and will they be able to really let go . 

    Ok the characters are ok . I really found that they were kind of annoying . Sloane and his arrogance really drove me crazy. I really wanted to knock him up side the head a few times 
Georgie is well she has the rich party girl persona down pat . She drinks too much and is addicted to cocaine . I wish she would of been a little less hooker and a little more teen ager.  Georgies mom is the typical older woman who can't face aging and needs to be told she is beautiful all the time . They just have so many problems and sometimes that just makes them not likable . 

    I love a taboo book but this one is a whole lot of confusing . The author had her characters talking in their heads most of the time so it got confusing . Now don't get me wrong the story is interesting but there is so much going on that sometimes you really get confused . I did like the premise of the sex drugs and rock and roll aspect and the younger groupie and older rock star but i feel it just got mucked up .  Over all i did enjoy aspects of this book and might try book two to find out what happens . So if you want a book that will have you thinking this might be the book for you, and if you don't mind sex drugs and rock . Check it out
