GET YOUR INVITATION READY

  Good morning peeps . I know it is Wednesday I hope you are all having a good week so far. Today I have for you two books actually . A full novel and a novella that takes place right after the novel and I just thought it would be so much fun to put both books together. So grab your invitation and your sunscreen we are headed to a wedding.  CALAMITY RAYNE GETS HITCHED  book 3 in the Calamity Rayne series by Lydia Michaels 


                          BOOK BLURB



 Calamity Rayne—fiancée of very sophisticated and powerful billionaire hottie, Hale Davenport—has a wedding to plan! With no clue how she managed to out-Darwin a bazillion other women and land one of the world’s most desirable bachelors, she becomes the paparazzi’s newest target. Receiving a crash course in charm school and wedding etiquette, she fights tradition and ends up following a lazy bride's guide to catastrophes and chaos in this laugh-out-loud, opposites-attract, billionaire romantic comedy from bestselling author, Lydia Michaels.

    
                       MY REVIEW 
 Rayne and the gang are back and now it is time for our Rayne to marry the man of her dreams, the man who loves her for her and how she is as a human not what she can do for him. Well as we know with Rayne things don't usually go as planned and well there is a reason why they call her Calamity Rayne things just usually go from bad to worse. With Hale planning the wedding of the century and his sister just taking Rayne on the wedding train. To her best friend who for some reason is dodging her and well mad at her for some reason. Will Rayne and Hale actually make it to the alter or will they be doomed from the start .
   Rayne well she is still a mess , sometimes she just overthinks everything and always puts the wrong foot forward. She is the type of girl that you do want as your best friend but sometimes you just get tired of trying to get her through the day. But we do see her really blossom towards the end of the book and become the woman that she wants to be and the woman Hale loves. Hale well he is just a sexy. sexy man but sometimes he really comes off  as overbearing and kind of an oaf but he does love Rayne unconditionally and would do almost anything for her . I do love these characters and they are great together. We also get more of the family and yes they actually do behave themselves for the most part well except for one that you will want to smack upside the head a few times . 

 This is the last book in the series and the author did it up right. The characters grew and became some beloved characters that you can't wait to get back to reading . This is a fun read that you can put yourself into and realize you are like the main character in so many ways .  You should read the other two books in the series so you will be all caught up on the family and understand what is going one and why Rayne is the way she is . Honestly going to miss these characters cause they are such a fun read. So if you want such a fun series to read check out the Calamity Rayne series 

Lets head our the honeymoon and see what fun ensues in CALAMITY RAYNE OVER THE MOON

                              BOOK BLURB 


 After throwing the wedding of the century, Calamity Rayne—a.k.a. the new Mrs. Davenport—is overdue for a little rest and porn-a-cation! Luckily, Hale has planned an eight-week honeymoon. What could possibly go wrong?
Join the newlyweds for a wet and wild adventure in this delightfully naughty, opposites-attract, billionaire novella from bestselling author, Lydia Michaels.


                       MY REVIEW 
 Well what do you do after having the wedding of the century . You go on the honeymoon of the century an 8 week trip of beautiful places, great food and well lots of bedroom time with her hot husband. What could go wrong well if your Rayne almost anything . 

 This is a short story of what wild times a honeymoon can be. Rayne and Hale do get to do lots together and really become one with each other . Everything for Hale goes great but anytime Rayne tries to do something sweet well hilarity ensues . The scuba suit had me laughing so hard I had tears . 

 This is the icing on the cake of the series and we get to see them become a family and show each other how much they love each other . The author really had me rolling on the floor laughing with what was going on. I am really hoping that there will be one more book of them having a baby and this isn't the end of my favourite funny couple .

HAPPY SATURDAY ALL

   Good morning my peeps , I hope you are all doing well this Easter weekend and taking time out to do a little reading. Today I have for you book 7 in the Resistance Girl series, that will be out on April second . THE LONDON SPYMAKER  by Hannah Byron 


                         BOOK BLURB 



 Inspired by a true story and featuring the last “resistance girl from the Swiss finishing school”, ‘The London Spymaker’ weaves together espionage, betrayal, and passion against the backdrop of World War II, delivering a gripping tale of resilience and secrets.

London, 1942

Meet Anna Adams, the stoical spymistress of Baker Street Headquarters, as she navigates the web of secrecy, love, and duty. It is her job to recruit the female secret agents that will be sent behind enemy lines in France.

While concealing her identity and origins, Anna’s world takes an unexpected turn when the Polish fighter pilot Major Henryk “Hubal” Pilecki reenters her life. Her undeniable feelings for her former boyfriend complicate Anna’s life further as she is supposed to marry the very British Count Roderick Macalister so that all traces of her past are permanently erased.

Torn between love and duty, Anna makes a heart-breaking choice that leads to catastrophe. Everything goes wrong at Baker Street HQ and one after the other her female agents disappear without a trace.

As the war ends, Anna embarks on a quest to post-War Germany to uncover the fates of the women she sent to their deaths, all the while confronting her own troubled past and mysterious protector.


                        MY REVIEW 
 Meet Anna Adams a spymistress and it is her job to recruit young female spies that will be sent behind enemy lines . As she wades through love, secrecy and duty she finds herself torn between the old love of her life and her duty to the young woman . She is trying to hid her past and now she is engaged to Count Roderick Macalister to help erase her past. But when things go from bad to worse at their headquarters Anna must make a heart breaking decision and at the end of the war Anna embarks on a quest to find out what happened to the women she sent out and also come to terms with her own past and the mysterious protector.

  Anna is one of the strongest women you would ever meet , she may not act it some times but this girl has been through the ringer but she is one of many fighters. As we find out Anna 's past was one of hardships. She grew up as a Polish Jew who with her family were rounded up by the Nazis and taken to the border of Poland and had to live in a tent  during the harshest of conditions . Then she was finally airlifted to safety to England where she is helped by family and strives to a better life . We see her grow stronger as she grows . There are so many characters that come in and out of her life through out the story. Roderick well he is helping her to give her credibility and basically a new life but man he comes off as a pompous boob most of the time and you really want to just smack him upside the head a few times to see if any sense will knocked into his head . Henryk is the man who saves Anna and her family . He is the sweetest man you could ever meet , he truly cares for Anna and also for her family. He has a sense of duty that calls to him and he wants to do what he can to save as many people as possible. These are characters you can fall in love with each character is well written and complex. 

  This is a story that will have you captivated from the very first page . The author takes a true tale and weaves a story that will have you turning pages all night long . I love how the story takes a nonconstructive view on her life and her past letting it entwine with her present day as a War Crimes investigator for the Nuremburg trials and trying to find the female agents that were sent behind enemy lines . Honestly I never knew i could get into historical stories but this series has really captured my heart . I have cried with these main characters and cheered with them. This could be read as a stand alone book but I seriously suggest you read the whole series and be swept away . Check out this series coming out April 2 2024

COVER REVEAL DAY

  Good morning peeps I have something special for you today. I got my hands on the cover for Aleatha Romig's new book coming out




                              A LITTLE ABOUT THE BOOK

 Capo to the Luciano Famiglia was my birthright.

The cruelty needed to succeed in this life has been beaten into me since I was a young boy. My father, Vincent Luciano, taught by example and with the slap of his hand. My independent streak took me down paths my father would never have gone. With our enemies gaining strength, it is my idea to attempt an alliance with an unlikely bedfellow.

The Roríguez Cartel and the Luciano Famiglia are improbable partners, yet even Vincent Luciano can’t deny the possible benefits. The only way to solidify the deal is for me to marry Catalina Ruiz, the eldest daughter of Andres Ruiz, a top lieutenant in the Roríguez Cartel.

Catalina is young, beautiful, and thinks she understands the path she is being forced to follow. There is no way for her to know the monster she is about to wed. A man doesn’t become a made man at thirteen if he is capable of love. That emotion is beyond my scope of expertise. Saving the famiglia is my goal. And once this alliance is made, ours will be but the first of the brutal vows exchanged.

                     MY REVIEW 
 On an island in Alaska Frankie is taken from her husband and he job by a brute of a man. She is taken to a place where there is nothing but snow, ice and cold. To a place where she is put in a position between a father and his sons. Where the wolves are closer than you think . She tries to escape but there is nowhere to go. Who does she trust the three men and brothers who want nothing to do with her or the man who stole her away from her life. She has to pick carefully they only have one chance to escape but will they be able to stand together to save themselves from the evil that has settled in the hills around them. 

   Ok this is a story full of characters that you will love and hate at the same time .  Frankie is a woman at a crossroads in her life after a fight with her husband she is left alone contemplating on leaving her husband . A twist of fate she is taken and thrust into a world of evil. She is really naive at the beginning and tries to push her way out of the spot she is in. We see her start to break down and become a shell of herself until the one thing that brings her back and fierce as ever, She starts to fight and get a stronger backbone against her captor. She has three protectors in the names of Kodiak, Leonid and Wolfson. Denver , daddy and kidnapper . well he is his own type of evil. He is sexy and suave but there is an evil that you just didn't know could exist.  You just can't trust him with anything, he is a master manipulator. Kodiak and Leonid have explosive tempers that could harm them or actually save them. Leonid is the mechanic and is like a viking in the way he acts . He is a hit first talk second type of man who will hate you but if needed will protect you from all the bads in the world. Kodiak is the strong silent type who will let his anger take over when push comes to shove . He is a protector but with that he is always in the wrong place and gets hurt.  Wolfson is the poet and the sweet one , he is broken in so many ways but you will love him. He is the youngest but the most haunted of all three of the brothers. Your heart will go out to him and you will want to hug him and care for him like a little bird. 

   This is a story that I will say will break you and yes it broke me . The author took us on such a roller coaster ride . The characters are so well written and complex and you really start to care for each and everyone of them. There are moments that you want to slap them all and yell at them to smarten up .  I will warn you if you have triggers this might not be the book for you. There are some dark aspects in this book that will have you on the edge of your seat . So if you have triggers about forced proximity, kidnapping, murder and mayhem, emotional abuse , this might not be the book for you .  This is a dark romance book and I must say it is one of the author's best books . Its a big book over 700 pages but girl it reads fast and once you start you will be done in no time. So if you want a book that will have you shedding tears and fanning yourself check it out . I can't wait to see what happens in book 2 .
