WE MADE IT TO FRIDAY

Woohooo the weekend is here , we made it to Friday . Today I have a book from one of my new favourite fantasy author. REYANNA'S PROPHECY by Whit McClendon


                           BOOK BLURB 


Reyanna is a woman with a secret. A human raised among the noble and wise Weya, she had passed all the tests and become a Ranger, as adept with bow and dagger as any of the elf-like people who trained alongside her. But she has a frightening power deep within, and it’s growing. When a vision strikes out of nowhere, a powerful prophecy that brings her to her knees, she is thrust headlong into a perilous journey
The war with the vile sorcerer, Mordak, ended over twenty years ago, and the land is peaceful. The Jidaan-wielding Guardians who survived have gone their separate ways, settling into more quiet lives. The power in the short-handled, long-bladed spears has slumbered, no longer needed. When the same vision overcomes the Guardians, they know the time has come to awaken the Jidaan once more.
Gart, wielder of the Jidaan of Storms, and the most powerful of the Guardians, sets out on a dangerous quest that will either reunite him with his love or destroy the world. Three evil sorcerers have their own plans for Gart, and they will stop at nothing to get what they want. And all the while, Reyanna’s power struggles for release.
Can Reyanna and the Guardians solve the riddle of the prophecy in time? Or will Gart’s obsession bring about the end of all things?
It’s a fast-paced, exciting epic fantasy adventure set in the world of the Fire of the Jidaan trilogy!
Packed full of action and adventure, The Forge Born Duology is perfect for fans of Dennis L. McKiernan’s Mithgar series, Simon R. Green’s Forest Kingdom tales, or Raymond Feist’s Riftwar Saga.
Readers who enjoy epic fantasy with mages, monsters, swords, sorcery, and heroes battling against all odds will definitely enjoy this series and its predecessor! Thanks for reading, folks!


                            MY REVIEW
 Welcome to Reyanna and the guardians , a world of magic and prophecy. Where evil sorcerers are trying to get what they want from Gart and Reyanna struggles with the power she has . Will Reyanna and her guardians figure out the riddle before Gart bring on the end of the world . 

    Ok let me catch my breath here , I got this book and dived right on in . Well lets say the characters had me hooked from the first chapter . There is a wide range of characters that will have you captivated . Reyanna the main character is feisty and can fight with the best of them . She is a human that has been raised with the noble Weya and she has worked hard to pass all their tests and now she can kick some butt. I truly loved her . Lets talk about Gart , he is well he is crazy and obsessed with reuniting with his love .  There are so many delightful characters in this book and you will find your favourite . Theses are my two .  They are written so well and complex you will want to wrap them up and keep them safe or slap them upside the head and tell them to smarten up . 

   This book has it all action , mystery and magic . The author has a way of taking us on an adventure full of magic and fantasy . I was like with all this authors books was hooked by the end of chapter one .  When you start reading this book you are transported to a place where you can actually see the book in your mind . For me this book kind of has a shall I say it , a Harry Potter feel to it but with swords and kick butt fight scenes .   This book would be great for your teens who love fantasy , I am actually going to gift this book to a friends daughter who loves fantasy . So if you want a great fantasy that will have you hooked this is the book for you . Add it to you summer reading list or your teens reading challenge

Love … there’s no time for that!



Kennedy Hewson is a workaholic. She hasn’t had a vacation in over five years. Thanks to a streak of record sales, she’s been able to purchase a multi-million dollar condo in downtown Chicago and acquire a boutique-sized collection of fabulous high heels.

While on location for work, and quite unexpectedly, Kennedy finds serenity with an unexpected person in an unexpected place, Credence Woods. Can she give up everything she’s worked so hard for, or will she say goodbye to Tennessee and the stranger who made her feel a sense of ‘home’ for the very first time?

Sometimes, you don’t know you’re missing something until you find it.

                           MY REVIEW 
  Kennedy Hewson is a busy woman , lets call her a workaholic . She has worked for so long she can afford the best of everything .  She has a list of things that she has accomplished . When she heads to Tennessee for a job she is going to cross one more thing off her list. Where low and behold she runs into the man that can make her relax and give her a sense of home where as noone else ever has . Will she realize that the serenity of country living be the one thing that Kennedy has been missing her whole life . 

    I found that I had some things in common with the main character Kennedy . She is feisty but also kind of insecure because of her past and her weight . Also the one she loved broke her heart . So she throws herself into work and become the best that she can . As you read you actually see her come into her own and realize that she can have it all and still have the love she wanted.
  Oh lets talk about Max , oh my goodness , he is a sweet southern gentleman . Who is oh so sexy and sweet . He meets Kennedy at the strip club where he makes her think he is the boss .  He wants a relationship with someone who will love him for him.  I would so bring him home to mom and dad . I truly liked him and Kennedy together as a couple . They so deserved to be with each other . 

    I sat down and started reading this book and I couldn't put the book down. I was totally thinking I had so much in common with the main character . Its hard when you have been heavy to see yourself as skinny . There are ups and downs the characters go through in this book . You just really want to hug them both and say everything is ok . The author will take you on a very emotional rollercoaster ride through out this book . I read it in an evening and think that this would be a great beach read for your summer reading list

WELCOME TO WEDNESDAY

 Well made it to hump day and the week is flying by. Today I have a new author to me  LaVerne Thompson, THE BEAST WITHIN .

                           BOOK BLURB 

 
From moonrise to moonset, the beast will rule.

Caleb’s family had a secret. One they’d held for over 300 years. One he’d reveal to save one woman’s life. Because she was the other half of his soul, even though it was her kind who condemned him to be the beast he was.

Lissette knew her family had secrets. What family in New Orleans as old as hers didn’t have family legends, most she disregarded as nonsense. Until she came across something leaving her no choice but to believe. Especially, when it meant her life… or his.
Because of the subject matter and content must be 18+

                       MY REVIEW 
 After being cursed for over 300 years , Caleb and his family have been keeping the secret . Until the day he sees Lissette at the bar he owns . He feels this pull to her because she is the other part of his soul . What they don't know is that she can be the salvation for him or the death of them . 

    The characters in this story are well written , Lissette is a strong woman who doesn't take anything from anyone . She also comes from a long line of women that have an insight . She can kick butt and will do anything to protect the ones she loves .  Caleb is an alpha , oh so sexy and he knows what he wants and will go and get it . He is also caring and will do anything for those he cares about . I liked these characters as individuals but as a couple they were hot . For every good guy we also have the bad guy . Terrell well he was just a complete idiot and stalker . He was oh so creepy. Now Camille well she is just clueless and kind of the comic relief in the story . I picture her as a blonde for some reason . Then like all good romance stories we have the family that likes to interfere and boy do they ever . 

   I went into this story not knowing what was going to happen . This book took me by surprise  I really got into it . The characters are well written and you start to love them . The author takes us on an adventure through New Orleans and the bayou . There is action , intrigue and oh so much romance . This is a book you can get lost in for an afternoon . So if you want a good read for you summer beach read check it out .

HAPPY RELEASE DAY

  HAPPY RELEASE DAY  for Aleatha Romig and her second book in the Tangled Web series . Its time to get OBSSESSED


                           BOOK BLURB

 
Everything changed the night our eyes met across the room. His green gaze upon me prickled my skin with uncustomary warmth while my peek beneath his cuff—of a riot of color on his wrist—sparked my insatiable curiosity. Tall and mysterious, Kader was a man whose secrets I longed to know.

Little did I realize that the night we met was only the beginning—the beginning to the end of the existence I knew.

What will happen as his assignment becomes our obsession?

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new dark romance bringing us back to the same dangerous underworld as SECRETS. You do not need to read the Web of Sin trilogy to get caught in this new and intriguing saga, Tangled Web.

OBSESSED is book two of the TANGLED WEB trilogy which began with TWISTED and will conclude with BOUND.
Have you been Aleatha’d?

                           MY REVIEW 
  Kader and Laurel are back and trying to find who is trying to have Laurel killed . They are on the trail but things are going to get even more complicated when they are alone on a ranch in the middle of nowhere . While there they are trying to figure each other out and trying to figure out if her family will be ok . Will they be able to figure each other out and will Laurel break through the hard shell of Kader . 
  
     Laurel and Kader are getting more and more complicated . Sometimes I will admit the Laurel is just a tad bit more defiant when it comes to Kader. She wants to break through his hard shell but she tries too hard some times . She is also shows more worry about everything in this book and it shows .  Kader well he is still so yummy and so alpha . There are moments though we see a sweeter kinder side to him . He is also having some feelings that he thought were long dead . There are moments where you really just want to either hug him or hit him in the back of the head with a frying pan to knock some sense into him . These two are so hot together , I love them as a couple . 

    This book starts where book one ends off on the road to the ranch . The author takes us on a very emotional ride this time . There is so much that happens in this one , the twists and turns will have you reading all night long .  This book has it all , suspense , mystery and romance and with romance there is heartbreak and a second chance at love . There is a twist at the end of the book that will make you gasp . I so can't wait for book three in the series . I really want to know what the research is that is so important and will Kader and Laurel find their happily ever after with each other . If you want a great series that will leave you wanting more check out the Tangled Web series . Add them to your summer reading challenge today . You will not be disappointed .
