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 .
