WELCOME TO DAY 2 OF READER ROUNDUP

  Welcome to day two of reader rounder up and today I have book three in the Sentinel series .  SPIRIT HUNTER AND THE SHIFTING EVIL  by Brenda Nichols 

                     BOOK BLURB 

 Evil prowls the mountains of Montana, a dear friend in its clutches.

Calico has been taken beyond the tracking skills of her shifter clan. Beth doesn't abandon friends, no matter the personal risk. Her ability to speak with the dead may provide the answers to bring Calico home.

But something else is at play in a much bigger game, and Beth has a target on her back. What awaits in the rocky crags of the Bitterroot Mountains is a creature she’s never faced. She must rely, more than ever, on the bond with the man who loves her to save them both.

Todd is irrevocably linked to Beth through a bond they’ve shared since childhood. He is her protector, her anchor to this world. When the unthinkable happens, he turns to ancient Voodoo magic tattooed on his skin and the advice of a dead friend to guide him.

With an old score to settle and new challenges to conquer, Todd is in for the fight of his life and the life of the woman he loves.

If evil wins, more will die, including an innocent child, and time is running out.

                  MY REVIEW 

  The mountains of Montana have one of Beth's friend in its clutches so Beth and Todd are o the way to find Calico and the coin that Simon is after . Beth has a target on her back and she meets that creature that wants her dead . Todd her  protector  and the love of her life has to turn the ancient voodoo to help her and the guidance of a dead friend . Will they be able to find Calico and will they survive.

 Beth and the gang is back and we also get to meet some new characters . We are in shifter country now . We get to meet Silas a bear shifter an alpha of his clan . He is one grumpy bear who is very protective of those around him. Jax and other shifters that are all there to help. They are all strong characters that are so well written and complex .  Beth and Todd are totally in sync with each other and become more and more in tune with each other . Todd does still have some self doubting moments but he realizes that he is stronger then what they think he is . Beth is getting tired and fed up with everything that is going on . Everyone wants a piece of her  and she is getting tired of being played by everyone . 

 I was so happy to get my hands on this book . I couldn't wait to see what the author did this time . I started reading and was sucked in by the time i was done chapter two . I am really liking Beth and Todd , they are such a fun characters to read .  This story has a great balance of intrigue and sweet loving times that had me flipping pages . I was on the edge of my seat for most of the book and I couldn't put it down. I will tell you though the author left us with a big cliff hanger in this one . I can't wait till I can get my hands on book 4. I need to see what will happen to Beth and Todd and will they survive and will they be able to settle down to the life they deserve.

WELCOME BACK TO WEDNESDAY

  Good afternoon peeps I am back and I have the 9th book in the Happily Never After series . Lets look at BELLE  by Hp Mallory

                             BOOK BLURB

 Book 9: BELLE

After Kronos takes control of Delerood, Belle and her soldiers are forced to retreat.

Realizing the blow is a big one, Belle also realizes the only way back into Delerood and through Kronos’ time-loop, which keeps outsiders out, is by returning to Castle Chimera, where she’ll need to appeal to the three monsters living there.

But appealing to these three monsters, known as Alder, Horatius, and Beacon, won’t be an easy feat because, sixteen years earlier, Belle cursed them to their vile shapes. Not only did she curse them to resemble monsters, but she also cursed them to remain within the castle’s boundaries. To say they hate her is probably an understatement.

Yet, Belle still needs them because she believes they’re the only way to defeat Kronos. Why? Because sixteen years ago, they served under Kronos, hence why she cursed them in the first place.

While securing their help will be a feat, so is trying to convince herself she’s not moved by Alder’s rough touch, Beacon’s bitterness, or Horatius’ secret…

                      MY REVIEW 

  Belle is forced to retreat after Kronos takes control of her town . She is determined to get back and defeat Kronos but she has to go back and fix what she has done sixteen years earlier and face the three men she turned into monsters and ask or I should plead for them to not kill her and help her with Kronos . Things are more then what they seem and when they are together they are a force to be reckoned with . Will they be able fight their feelings to fight their enemy . They will be together or will the lies and the history keep them apart . 

 Belle is one of those characters that is strong but also scared of what can happen if she can't stop Kronos. She is feisty and actually very loving. Aiden' is well he is the alpha and he is storing up a lot of anger up for Belle . He is brooding and an over thinker . Beacon is hiding a bitterness for Belle but he is also sensitive and is a great soldier . Horatius is hiding a secret that could get them into the town and through the time loop. He is a sweet heart that is ready at the drop of a hat to fight the enemy.  They are such fun characters that are well written anc complex. 

 This is book nine in the series and the author keeps it a fun read . This is a great twist on the Beauty and the Beast story , with Belle being a sorceress and the beast are actually three men . The author has created such a grand world where there is good and the bad that is coming to a big stand off for the world of Neverland .  I read this book in a evening once I started I couldn't put it down until I found out what was going to happen.  Each story builds on the one before to add up to the final battle .  I was on the edge of me seat through out and there are some sexy times that go on through out . So if you want a fun series check it out . 

DAY ONE OF READER ROUND UP

 Good morning peeps I have started another reader round up so there will be two posts a day for the next little while . A book from reader round up and later in the afternoon a book that I have read . So let's get started and the first book I have for you is book 2 in the  Sentinel series . SPIRIT HUNTER AND THE NAMELESS MAN  by Brenda Nichols.

                        BOOK BLURB 

 A missing teenage girl, an ancestral connection broken, and a celestial warning. One hell of a way to start the day.

Who took Carine Gavreau? Why was the connection between a Voodoo priestess and her ancestors severed? Why would a French dandy in a tailored suit ask for her help in a treasure hunt? Seeking answers from the dead was easy, and Bethany Sayers was good at her job. This one should have been a piece of cake, until the man she loves starts to lose his mind. To make matters worse, long kept secrets come to light, driving a wedge between her and someone she’s always trusted. To save Todd and rescue Carine, Beth has to go beyond the land of the dead and speak to Death himself. Just one minor hitch. She might have to die to do it.

Todd Rollins left his past behind to follow the woman he’s loved all his life. He is her protector, her anchor between the world of the living and the dead. Now it’s all slipping away one lost thought at a time and there isn’t a damn thing he can do to stop it. In the bayou country of Louisiana, something eats away at his bond with Beth, devours his memories, and short circuits his brain. How can he protect her if he can't even protect himself? Sometimes the greatest test of a man is to surrender his ego to the woman he loves.

                      MY REVIEW 

  Beth and Todd are back and and on a mission to find a missing teen . When a voodoo priestess has all ties cut to her ancestors  Beth and Todd have to head to the bayou to find out .  Beth is good at her job talking to and finding the dead but this isn't an ordinary case . Beth has to not only find the missing girl but visit Death himself to find out how to save her love and the man who protects her with his life . Todd and he is fading away fast one memory at a time. Will she be able to figure out what is happening to her love and save the missing girl at the same time . Only she knows and if she has to die to do it she just might . 

  What can I say Todd and Beth are back and better then ever . Beth is such a fighter , she is strong and well strong willed also but deep inside you can tell that she is kind of getting weary of what she is doing and wants to retire and just be with her love .  Todd is adjusting well to his new life but you can see that he still has a few pains about his last life .  This is hard for him cause he is usually the one doing the saving but when he is taken down you see him struggle with everything . You get to see him at his weakest and the feeling of loss and the loss of the love he feels for Beth . They just keep getting better and when they are thrown into a mess of a mystery we really get to see them at their strongest . i really like these main characters we get to see many aspects to them and they are so well written and complex . 

  I couldn't wait to dive into this book, I absolutely adored the first book so when I finally got this one I couldn't put it down . The author had me on the edge of my seat most of the way through this book . The characters are well written and complex and you can really start to fall for them .  I must say I really liked the voodoo aspect through out this book , it added some fun in the book. This is one of those books that you can read and love .  So if you want a fun read check out this series .

WELCOME TO TUESDAY

 Good afternoon peeps , its a cold and blustery day here on the farm . It is the winter that will just not end here . Good day to curl up and read . Today I have book 4 in the Sinful Natures series . UNHOLY TEMPTATION by Lynn Burke . 

                            BOOK BLURB

 As an assistant pastor at Simply Grace Church, it’s my duty to abstain from the appearance of evil—which includes keeping my sexual orientation to myself, same as I’ve done with my close-knit family.

Yet I knew I was different when at age fourteen, I woke from a dream with the evidence of my desire for him.

Aiden McNelis, my older brother’s best friend.

But he left for the west coast after graduation, and I chose God.

Almost sixteen years later, Aiden’s return catches me unaware, but even more surprising is how he’s changed. He looks at me with more than friendship in his eyes, studies me like he wants to strip me down body and soul.

Aiden’s curiosity closely mirrors mine, challenging my spirituality with unholy temptation.

But giving into my sinful nature, touching the forbidden, won’t just tear apart the life I’ve built for myself.

It will ruin my family as well.

                       MY REVIEW 

 Jed is the assistant pastor at Simple Grace Church . He is hiding a big secret that had a pastor removed and a couple of members leave . He has successfully hidden his identity until the moment his brothers best friend moves back to town and moved in across the hall from him. Jed is at a cross roads in his life when there is more going on at the church and he must decide on what he is going to do . Will Aiden's help and his love help Jed come out of his shell and become the man that Aiden knows he is . 

  I was so excited to hear that Jed was getting his own story. He is such a sweet guy who is torn between two worlds . He is a man of God but he is also a gay man who wants to be loved by someone.  He is a sweet shy nerdy guy who loves Star wars and graphic novels . Who has his life turned upside down when a person from his past comes back into his life . Aiden is that guy that everyone loved in high school , he was a jock who well did not know what he wanted . He was a man who the girls flocked to . To say he was kind of cocky and sure of himself . When he comes home he is well rethinking his life after his divorce . He is still cocky but he is also finding out a lot about himself and why his relationship didn't work. They both really do a lot of growing up through out this book especially Jed we see him become a man who is proud of who he has become and he grew up a lot . Aiden grew up also and realized who he was really suppose to be deep down inside . They are such well written characters that are well written and complex . 

 This is one of those stories that once you start it you will not stop until you are done. I read this book in an evening and just couldn't put it down . The author really paints a realistic view of what it is like to be different and find the love you deserve . The characters are so well written and complex you will love them from the very first moment you meet them, You don't have to read the other three books but it would be a good idea to get to know the guys .  I truly enjoyed this series and can't wait to see what the author will come with next . So if you like a love story that is full of angst with great characters check it out
