WELCOME TO DAY 5 OF NOVEL WEEK FOR READER ROUND UP

  Good morning my peeps, I hope your week is going well, today I have for you a holiday romance from Bree Kraemer  SURFING FOR LOVE. 

                           BOOK BLURB 

 Penny and her friends are in Mexico enjoying the sun and sand to celebrate their twenty-fifth birthdays. They’re down to their last two days when Penny spots a gorgeous guy holding a surfboard and can’t stop thinking about him.

Maybe a vacation fling is just what she needs.

Enter Alec Blair.

He’s sweet, sexy, and has a filthy mouth that turns her inside out.

She’s sort of afraid that one night is not enough.

When she finds out he lives in the same town, things change quickly.

This was supposed to be a work trip for Alec—no women, just work and surfing. That all went out the window the second he spotted the most gorgeous woman he’d ever seen in the pool.

He needs to see her again. Talk to her, touch her. Even if it’s just for one night.

Except, once he meets her, he knows one night will never be enough.

Then fate throws him for a loop.

They live in the same town.

Maybe, just maybe, Alec can convince Penny to take a chance on him.

                         MY REVIEW 

 WHAT HAPPENS ON HOLIDAY STAYS ON HOLIDAY , right . Well that might not be the case for Penny and Alec. On a girls holiday in Cancun with her friends, Penny is having the time of her life and when she spots Alec at the pool after coming in from the surf , looking all handsome. Alec is thinking when he sees Penny a night will be fun but as they get to know each other both of them are thinking maybe one night won't be enough. When they find out they are from the same town things are looking up but when they get home things don't go as planned and hearts will be broken. Will they both over come the insecurities they have and realize that they belong together. 

  Penny and Alec what can you say about them. Alec is kind of sexy geek with a bad boy mouth on him. But, there is an insecurity to him.  He might just want a real relationship and not a fling. He is one of those men that women would love to have in their lives . He can be demanding when he want something and the something is Penny. Penny is having fun and celebrating her birthday when she meets Alec. She comes off as a confident woman but there is as underlying sadness to her. It seems she has been hurt and doesn't want to jump into a relationship . Sex is what she wants and with Alec it is mind blowing . She has trouble with true feeling and when they bubble up that is when the problems start for the couple. With the help of their friends they try and find their way back to each other .  These two are a fun couple and well written , you feel like you are in a real relationship with these two . 

  This is the first book in a new series for this author. She takes us on a fun filled vacation story that you will want to have . The characters are well written and the author does show the vulnerability in both of them through out. I did enjoy the book but there were moments where I just wanted to slap both of them upside the head for the sheer stubbornness of both of them. This is one of those books that have lots of romantic times and also some miscommunications which will actually have you laughing in some areas . This would be a fun book to read on your summer vacation or just a day at the beach . Check it out .

                        BOOK BLURB

                    MY REVIEW 

  

  When the missing diaries of the mobster Marion Puglisi Detective Cadillac Holland is trying to keep one step ahead of the people that want them. The diaries go missing on the eve of Puglisi 's release and there are the Italian mafia in New Orleans to the Dixie Mafia to the Russian gangster , they all want those books for one reason on another . Everyone is willing to do anything get those diaries even kill for them. Will detective Holland keep one step ahead and keep himself alive in the process.

  Cadillac and the gang are back and funnier then ever . Cadillac is having such a time of it lately. He is trying so hard not get killed while figuring out what is going on. He is still bumbling around sort of way about him but he has a great mind and will always figure out what has happened. He still has his love for food . There is such a fun ensemble cast of characters through out the book that really help Cadillac out or want to kill him depends on the day. They are such well written and complex and each of them have their own personality and quirks that pop of the page at you. There are characters that you will love and those that you just can't stand. 

  This is the 6th book in the series and it stands up very well, the author really upped his game in this book . There are a lot of threads through out the book and I will admit i did get a little confused in parts but the author got me back on track . I truly enjoyed this book so if you want a great mystery with rich characters check out this series .

WELCOME TO I THINK DAY 3 OF READER ROUND UP NOVELS

 Good morning my peeps , I hope you are having a great weekend and enjoying the spring weather . Today I have for you a unique read for you  OMNI LEGENDS part 1 by Isaac Roman 

                          BOOK BLURB 

 The return of Daniel Twist where he completes his level as spirit tamer, to advance as a Souldier rank in the Elite Group. From then he is forced to leave his family to journey into the Land of Celestial, where he encounter's other many other spirit tamers in different class rankings from all over who too have opened the box of spirits in hopes of gaining favor for the king of creation. However dangers still lurk in shadows as the Sins start to unfold for Daniel. Such as facing the Omni Spirits, powerful spirits that make the Alpha spirits look like nothing. Beta Creatures who are beasts that were never ready for the worlds. And of course Sins, controlled by the Unholy father, Magi whom seeks out Daniel Twist for some ominous reason.

                     MY REVIEW 

  Daniel Twist is completing his level of a spirit tamer to advance his training in becoming a soldier in an Elite group. He is force to leave his family and travel to a faraway land of Celestial where he meets other spirit tamers, who have opened the box of spirits . In hopes of getting close to the King of Creation. But like with everything there are hidden dangers and when sins start to unfold and announce themselves to Daniel. He finds himself facing Omni Spirits that make Alpha spirits look like a walk in the park. Those sins are controlled by an unholy Magi who has eyes on Daniel for some dark reason. 

   The characters in this book are well written . Daniel is a young man wanting to do what is right and rank up as a soldier . He is a no nonsense guy with a good head on his shoulders . He knows the difference between right and wrong but when push comes to shove  With the cast of characters that come in and help Daniel out through out his training . We get to see some friends start to become family and help each other out .

   This is such a good story, there is action and adventure through out the book . The author paints a picture of a time and a place where spirits are caught and tamed . Where good and bad are entwined in a way that you don't know if they are really that bad or that good . I honestly felt like it was in the same category a of another wizarding book . But this book is darker and just a little edgier. I truly enjoyed this story and want to see more from him . So if you have a teen that enjoys fantasy books , check it out for a good summer read .

GOOD MORNING IS IS DAY 2 OF NOVELS IN READER ROUNDUP

  Good morning my peeps , it is day two of the novel portion of the reader roundup. Today we have for you COLORED LIES by V.J Lee. 

                             BOOK BLURB 

 I'm Jordan Ann Bland, Jo to my friends.

I hate lies.

I know from personal experience they ruin lives. To me, every lie has a color. The only lies I usually tell are pink ones; they don't hurt anyone, but they make my life more exciting, much less—well, bland, and I don't even have to leave the comfort of my home.

Then one night, I go against everything I believe and tell a gray lie, the kind that can hurt others, and it happens in front of one of the sexiest men I've ever seen. Now, I must keep telling these lies, so he doesn't catch onto my secret. These gray lies are now turning into one of the worst-colored lies—black. This is why I hate all lies other than the pink ones.

To make things worse, this gorgeous man is dragging me around to do every pink lie I ever told; I have a feeling he knows I'm a liar.

I hate liars, even though I am one.

I'm Roman Joseph Arndt-Blackwell, RJ to my friends.

I hate all liars.

Chalk it up to a bad past relationship. I don't want to be around liars, or get stuck in another relationship with one. But when the petite blonde in the bar makes a comment I know to be one whopper of a lie, I feel I need to do something about it, even though I must lie to her in turn—trust me, I know how hypocritical it is. Still, something about Jo draws me in, as much as it pushes me away.

My scheme to out her as a liar, opens my eyes to fun and, quite possibly, love. I do know one thing I refuse to do is fall for another liar, no matter how attracted I am to her.

I hate liars, even though I am one.

                       MY REVIEW 

  Jo hates lies she knows that they can hurt people . She labels each type of lie with a color  The pink lies don't hurt anyone so those are the ones she tries to tell . Until the night she tells a grey lie , which could hurt someone, not only she tells the lie but she tells it in front of the most handsome man she has met . Roman, he hates all liars male and female, after a bad relationship he hates them all . Until the night he runs into Jo at the bar and after hearing her tell the whopper of a lie and now he wants to catch her in the lie and call her out. Even if he has to lie to her to get her to open up. Will they be able to figure out what is going on and finally figure out that they are meant to be together. 

  Roman and Jo as such fun characters , they are two sides of the same coin but they just don't know it . Jo hates liars and tries not to lie but when does she tell one its a whopper . She is a sweet woman who has labeled lies colors . When she meets Roman. who is one hot man and also kind of full of himself. He tries his worst to see if he can get her caught in her own lies . But as they hang out they find out there is more to them then meets the eye. Like falling in love and finally having the relationship worth having. This book does have an ensemble cast of characters that come and go through out the book and keep Jo and Roman on the right path sort of way. Each character is well written and they are complex . You will like them and fall in love with them by the end of the book. 

  This is one those books that once you start you will be sucked in trying to figure out what their true hearts have . It is a love story that is mixed with a kind of revenge story between the two main characters. I love that the main female character has named colors to the lies she hears and when the main guy tries to figure her out well there is romance. Lots of romance . I do like this story and the authors way of writing so if you want a good story with lots of fun characters check it out . A great beach book for this summer .

GOOD DAY AND WELCOME TO DAY 1 OF NOVELS FOR READER ROUND UP

  Good morning my peeps , today is day one of novels for reader roundup. Our first book of reader round up is AS ANGELS WEEP by Kali Willows .

                           BOOK BLURB

 Penance was inconsequential to me once upon a time. Now, for the first time in my life, it means everything. My soul depends on it.

For years, I swindled wealthy women and made shady business deals, regardless of how it impacted my victims. In just seven days, I face spiritual exile. My fate is to be doomed to purgatory for my past deeds, selfishness, and cruelty.

My one chance at salvation? I have an assignment to complete, with rules, strict rules, and unspeakable consequences if I fail.

Whoever said good guys finish last was sadly mistaken. I’d never been a good guy. Now, I have to be one if I want redemption. ~ Luther Evans

                        MY REVIEW 

 Luther was not a good man . he was a serial cheater and he was a swindler and well basically a con man, until the day someone tried to take him out and now he has seven days to redeem himself and get it right with God and those who he hurt to be redeemed. There are rules so many rules that will keep him on the right path or the consequences are dire an eternal life in purgatory . Now this bad boy needs to be the man who is the good guy for all those around him and most of all a good guy for himself. 

  Omg I have never wanted to slap someone so hard but Luther is that one character I wish i could of taken a frying pan upside his head . He was well I honestly don't think he could be redeemable in my eyes . As we watch him though we actually see him turning into the man he should of been all along . He was such a broken man and he grew into the man he was suppose to be 

There are so many characters that teach him a lesson , Gabrielle is the arch angel that is put in charge of his redemption and along the way they become close . She is a sweet woman with the power of love and she really does help Luther through the hard stuff while he is trying figure out what he needs to do . Theses characters are so well written and you can't help but cheer for Luther as he goes on his journey. 

  This is one of those books that when you start you don't put down until you are done . The author takes us on a very emotional roller coaster ride of what it means for redemption .  This book will also make you think a little on what and how your life is and how you can be more compassionate and loving towards others . I truly enjoyed this book and was happy everyone got their happily ever after. So if you want a book that will have you turning pages all night check it out.

WE ARE BACK FOR DAY 9 OF READER ROUND UP

  Good morning my peeps , we are back to reader round up and today is day nine  of reader round up and I have for you book two in the Dragons of Ellechor series by Rochelle Bradley. DRAGUNZEL  

                               BOOK BLURB 

 Once upon a time, a girl fell into a magical realm, knocking out a dragon-shifter prince...

When Casey accidentally touches a magic portal and falls into another world, she doesn't intend to knock out a handsome prince. Nor did she plan on a rogue stranger accusing her of witchcraft and kidnapping her, taking her prisoner in the castle's tallest tower.

Prince of Ellehcor, Jett enlists the help of his brothers to find Casey at any cost. Wracked with guilt that her tumble into Ellehcor and subsequent vanishing is all his fault, he must save her before he fails her again. And the more he searches, the more he suspects Casey is his mate--if only he'd had the chance to tell her.

Can Casey overcome her crippling phobia and outsmart her captor? Unable to shift into dragon form, will Jett prove he's a worthy mate? They must scale great heights to reach their happily ever after.

                     MY REVIEW 

   Casey is a sweet girl who knows of a portal to a magical place where dragon shifters live . Her best friend is also in that realm with her mate. When she accidently falls through the portal . She not only knocks out Jett, her mate and one of the princes of Ellechor. She is kidnapped and taken to a magical tower and held against her will. Will Jett be able to find her and will Casey be able to get over her fear of heights before it is too late . Will they be able to be together in the end . 

   Casey is well she is your damsel in distress and boy she does need help. Her life is basically a big mess after her grandma passed away and her aunt and uncle are causing her trouble . She may be a little naive but she has a heart of gold and wants the best for people. She sure comes into her own as she over comes a lot to become the woman she was meant to be. Jett is well he is a prince and a sexy sweet guy. Who wants to protect those he loves and cherishes . He is a good guy who loves m&ms and the sweet girl who is more then she knows 

  This is the second book in the series by you can almost read it as a stand alone. The characters are well written and you will cheer for them.  The author paints a beautiful painting of a land where dragons rule. I enjoyed this story it is such a sweet retelling of one my favorite fairy tales Rapunzel .  So if you want a sweet romance with a touch of mystery to it check out this book . This series would be a great beach read for this summer .

HAPPY RELEASE DAY

   Good morning my peeps, today we are taking a break from reader roundup for a new release from Pam Godwin. Today we have for you book 2 in the Frozen Fate series . Lets check out CAGE OF ICE AND ECHOES . 

                          BOOK BLURB 

 Frankie’s story continues in this second book in the Frozen Fate trilogy by Pam Godwin.

Frankie and her ruthless protectors conquered unspeakable evil. But their fight to escape the hills of shivers and shadows is far from over.

Stranded in Alaska, survival becomes paramount against starvation, hypothermia, and the dangerous predators lurking outside their isolated cabin.

Sharing precious body heat with her viciously possessive men presents another challenge. She must navigate not only the brutal arctic tundra but also the intricacies of polyamorous love to ensure they make it out alive.

Tensions rise as the ice thickens, and their only hope rests on a plane they can’t fly.

Unless they unlock the secrets hidden beneath its wings in a cage of ice and echoes.

                       MY REVIEW 

 Frankie and the guys are back and just trying to survive the prison that Denver's death left them in.  Time is starting to run out for them to figure out the clues on their survival and spring is still a long ways away . As the days grow darker and the food starts to run low they have to count on each other to survive and figure out how to fly the plane that can save them and also figure out the clues of how to survive. Will Kodiak, Leonid and Frankie survive to get to the answers they seek. 

  Frankie and her guys are back and trying survive . Kody and Leo are well still hot and still over protective with Frankie. They are getting along better but they are still mourning Wolf's death and the quiet and cold is getting to them. They both are coming to terms with what loving Frankie entails and that entails her wanting both of them and loving both of them. Frankie well she is trying to keep everyone alive but there are moments that you kinda want to shut her up She gets a little bossy and annoying in a way.  She does become a force to listen to towards the end of the book . We also get to see more of Monty and man he isn't doing too well. He is well a mess over Frankie going missing but is it real or is he just playing a game to bring her back so he can process her and can he try and be the hero or will he turn out to be a villain.  The characters are well written and there was some real growth with all of them.

  This is the second book in the series and when I started reading I was kind of hoping it would break me as book one did.   The first part was ok , don't get me wrong there were parts where my heart was in my throat but there were moments where it was just a good story .Until you hit about half way through when the author starts to build up what is going to be an epic tale of survival and the gut punches at the end had me reeling with a lot of wth moments . I mean the hospital room alone was filled with so much tension you could feel it bounce off the pages .Over all i really enjoyed this book and i so can't wait for book 3 and how they will survive the fallout . Just forewarned that there might be some triggers through out this book. So if you love dark romance check it out.

WE MADE IT TO DAY 7 OF READER ROUND UP

  Good morning my book loving peeps . we made it to day seven of reader round up. Today I have for you a second chance fairy tale retelling . THE WOLF IS RUNNING FROM RED  by Toni Lynn

                             BOOK BLURB 

 "I can't believe you are running from a woman!"

"That just means you don't know, Red!"

Dan and Amanda were destined to be with one another; Amanda “Red” Peters knew it. She knew he was the one since he saved her in kindergarten. After college, they would marry, and she’d get the guy, the kids, and the dog. It didn’t matter that her family had money and Dan’s didn’t. Then on the day he came home from college, Dan Gathers turned cold, broke her heart, and left town.

Eight years ago, Dan Gathers left his heart and went on to become “the Wolf” of banking in New York. When his father falls ill, he has to leave his life behind and go home to face a father who knew he would be back; he saw the signs. A mother who has a saying for all occasions and an ex-girlfriend who has determined she will do the right thing by them both.

Can these two settle the past, trust the future and survive a town that is determined to help them? In Hollyport, love is always a little complicated but totally worth it.

                     MY REVIEW 

 Amanda and Dan were destined to be , so Amanda thought, ever since he saved her in kindergarten. She thought that they would get married and have kids. When in college he broke her heart and left to head to the big city.  In the eight years away Dan has become the wolf of the banking world. He thought he had the world by the tail until his dad gets ill and he has to head home. Where his ex girlfriend is and his mother who knows that they belong together and just need to be together. Will they work through the tangled mess he left and figure out past hurt and become the couple that they should be. 

  Ok this is a retelling of little red riding hood but Red is doing the chasing this time. Red is one very unique woman. She is very accomplished but also very wary of who she is around .She is no nonsense and knows what she wants but she also is kind of scared cause she has been hurt.  Dan well he is kind of a jerk when we first meet him and through out the book he is still a jerk but he does have a heart of gold and truly does love the people in his life . He is just working through a lot that has happened to him and coming to terms with his future and what it would be like.  There are so many other characters that will make you laugh through out the book. Dan's parents are hilarious in their seeing of the signs around them and what they mean but they are smarter then they let on and know what their son really needs in his life. 

  I am at a cross roads with this book. I really love the premise of the story and the characters are well written and you do care for them. But. there were times through the book I just felt confused and a little lost . I felt the story was just disjointed in some ways and it didn't flow as well as it should .  Overall I truly enjoyed this story and where the author was going with the characters . Love their quirkiness and the love they do have for each other . So if you want to take a chance and have a fun read check it out 

WELCOME TO DAY 6

  Good day my peeps, I pray your weekend is going well. It is day 6 of readers round up novellas, today I have for you a sweet small town romance. CANON  Fortuna Dare Society book 2 by Rochelle Bradley. 

                                  BOOK BLURB 

 At a meeting of the “Fortuna Dare Society: a Book Club for Men,” Canon Berns is dared to cosplay a superhero while on a date—and the only woman who comes to mind is Albie, his shy, frumpy neighbor.

When fire rips through their apartment complex, Canon rescues Albie from her smoke-filled bedroom. The blaze leaves them homeless, until Canon’s Grammie offers them sanctuary in the unoccupied side of her duplex.

Canon likes Albie, but what happens at book club doesn’t necessarily stay at book club. Will Albie be turned off by the club members and the Fortuna townsfolk prying into the dare, their lives, and their date? Or will she turn out to be his happily ever after?

                     MY REVIEW 

 Canon is a small town firefighter and friends with the other men in the town of Fortuna. They even have developed a book club to help them read the romance novels that the women of Fortuna have left around town . They even have a dare part to their club where they act out parts of the books . When he runs into his neighbour Albie and he know he wants to get to know her better . But with the new dare and the whole town of Fortuna watching them will he be able to go through with it . Oh and don't forget the fire that wipes out their apartment building . What will they do will they survive or will a misplaced message send things in the wrong direction for the lovely couple 

  The gang from Fortuna are such fun characters . Canon is the young guy of the group and of course he is going to get most of the teasing from the guys . He is a sweet guy with a sweet tooth that could rival anyone .  He is well he is also sexy and alluring but only has eyes for one girl . Albie is a sweet young woman who captures Canon's heart . She is shy and sweet just the right kind of woman for Canon. They are a sweet couple that belong together they are perfect for each other . We also get to meet the men of Fortuna and their other halves .All the characters are very well written and have such a fun look out on life . 

  This is one of those sweet small town romances that will have you giggling all the way through. The characters are well written and you will start to love them. The author has made reading romance fun again for both men and the woman they love, I truly enjoyed this story and it can be read as a stand alone but if you want to see how it all started read the first and then head into this one . It is a fun fast read that would be great for the summer beach time .

WELCOME TO DAY 5

  Good morning peeps , welcome to day 5 of reader round up. Day four was taken over by trying to get my eye unblurry from cataract surgery. But, I am back and ready to review YOUNG FAE  by Annamarie Gardner.

                         BOOK BLURB 

 Young adult series that follows a young girls journey into finding out who she truly is.

                          MY REVIEW 

 What happens when you go to sleep on your eighteenth birthday and dream of a mysterious man in a garden who has been looking for you for a very long time. That is exactly what happened to Asha, waking up to a whole new world where she finds out that she is actually a fairy princess but also an elemental. Nightmares haunt her every night and with the help of Draven, they will find the shadow man and stop him from takin Asha away, 

 The characters are well written , Asha is your typical eighteen year old but there is more to her then anyone realizes . She becomes a fighter as she navigates her new life  Draven is her constant companion and love . We see them fall in love along the way. He is a fighter and really romantic when it comes to Asha . We also get to see a lot of characters come in and out of their lives all there when she needs them. The characters are written well I think i would of liked them more if we got to know them a little better and they had a little bit more meat to them to make them more complex. 

  This is a short read but in this short read the author has packed in romance, intrigue and friendship.  The characters are really well written and the story line is good . The author take us on a fantasy fueled ride. I truly enjoyed the story and like where the author was taking the characters but I also felt that if felt rushed in some areas and we didn't get to feel what the characters were thinking and feeling . This would be a good series for your teen. So if you want some good fun read for your teens check it out .

GOOD MORNING ITS DAY 3 OF READER ROUND UP

  Good morning my peeps . hope your week is going well . Its day three of reader roundup and today I have for you  PUSHING UP DAISY by Kali Willows 

                          BOOK BLURB

 In the second installment of the Decadent Legacies Series, the enigmatic Dulce Sisters return to their family manor's shadowy corridors, unveiling eerie mysteries and a lingering haunting through a psychic tarot party. Simultaneously, the Tash Brothers, Liam and Jesse, collaborate with the sisters in a promising renovation venture, unraveling shocking revelations about the brothers' tragic past and exposing hidden crimes.

As the narrative unfurls, the budding connection between Amy and Liam faces disruption amid deadly secrets, transforming the once-promising renovation project into a chilling crime scene. The story intricately weaves together dark mystery, love, and supernatural elements, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the final page.

In this heart-wrenching saga, the Dulce Sisters and the Tash Brothers find themselves in a race against time to uncover the deadly secrets of the past. The pivotal question lingers hauntingly: Can they conquer the shadows cast by dark forces to find love, or will the uncovered secrets and tragedies weave a web that tears them apart in suspenseful and emotional turmoil?

                    MY REVIEW  

  Lizzie, Hedy and Amy Dulce are sisters with a problem in their family manor . Things aren't what they are suppose to be. Water faucet turning on and off , dishes flying all over the kitchen, a mysterious room in the basement. Things are complicated and when their friend Elora comes to do readings Amy is given a reading that Liam will have the key to her heart . As the mystery grows will the sisters and the Tash brothers be able to figure it all out before someone really gets hurt ,

  Ok I love these characters, Amy, Lizzie and Hedy are so much fun to read . Each woman has unique talents and they really have a love for each other and their friends . This is Amy's story and we get to see her vulnerable and also we see her with her fighting spirit. We also see her start to fall for Liam the sexy contractor and Jesse's brother . He is a rock for Amy even though he really doesn't know what is going on. They are well written and complex . 

 This is a fun, fast read I couldn't put it down , I know it is the second book in the series but it does read as a stand alone. Each character is well written and you will be loving them. I just wish it was just a little longer to get us to know the characters better . This is a book you can pick up and read in an evening . I truly enjoyed this book and going to grab book one to see how it all began. So check it out .

WELCOME TO DAY 2 OF READER ROUND UP

  Good morning my peeps , today is day 2 of the reader round up and I have another new author to me . Let me introduce you to CJ Baty and her book NOT AGAIN 

                        BOOK BLURB 

 Lizzie Ferguson is not a typical 1912 woman.

Owner of the E.M. Ferguson Detective Agency, she prefers to live life outside of society’s norm – both in and out of the bedroom – which leads to complications when she finds herself attracted to her beautiful assistant, Julia Straton, and an arrogant, yet devastatingly handsome journalist named Walton Crew. But who has time for romance when there are murders to solve?

Her newest case is eerily similar to one from the past. Male brothel workers are being butchered, so she calls on old friends and Pinkerton detectives, Michael O’Leary and Stiles Long, to help track down the killer. Working together, the three friends race against the clock to prevent more blood from being shed, but when all is said and done, will the citizens of New York City accept Lizzie for who she is?

                      MY REVIEW 

  Lizzie is not your typical woman , she is the owner of E.M  Ferguson detective agency and she has a new case which involves missing male brothel workers which is eerily similar to a past case. With the help of her friends and old owners of the detective agency . Michael O'Leary and his friend Niles Stiles all three will try and figure out what is happening in the brothel. The whole time trying to figure out her feelings for her pretty assistant Julia and what the people of New York will think of her. 

  These are some really fun characters . Lizzie is a woman before her time , she is confidant and sassy but also very patient and sweet when it comes to those who she loves.  She is a hard working woman with a heart of gold .  Michael and Stiles seem like they are the comic relief that keep LIzzie on the right path when trying to solve the mystery. There are a lot of other characters that come and go with in the story that you will love . Julia is the sweetest character of the group she keeps Lizzie together and working hard but she is hiding a secret that might not let her work for Lizzie anymore. 

 This is one of those novellas that will sweep you back into the past and see what was life like when you don't fit into normal society . The author takes us on an adventure while we are trying to solve the mystery, which is so much fun. We get to see the characters grow and become more complex as we read along. This has all the elements a mystery, great characters and some good ole romance thrown in for good measure . Check it ouf if you want a fun read for a rainy afternoon .
