GOOD MORNING PEEPS THIS IS THE LAST BOOK OF NOVELLAS

 Good morning my peeps this morning is the last book in the novellas for reader round up tomorrow we start the novels and today I have for you COME WHAT MAY  by Marie Fostino 

                           BOOK BLURB


 

 The pages of Come What May held a powerful memoir, one that was told through the eyes of a wife, mother, and friend. As we are first introduced to Rose, she sits in a hospital waiting room, nervously fidgeting as she searches for answers about her husband's condition. Her thoughts race back to the journey that led her to this very moment, and with bated breath, she bravely reveals the realities of her marriage. Through raw and honest flashbacks, Marie Fostino skillfully weaves a story that highlights the complexities and challenges of marriage, the evolution of relationships, and the search for personal identity amidst tragedy.


                         MY REVIEWS 
 This story starts with us meeting Rose at the emergency waiting room. Waiting to see if her husband will survive his heart attack. We watch her process her past and the present of life with her husband . All the good and the bad that they went through. The struggles were real and the good times were great but the bad times are what really made them think of what life would be like if one of them left. We watch them grow up . 

   This is a memoir of a sorts and we get to know Rose through her thoughts and feelings of what life was like back in the day. She is one strong woman but there is also a silence that is wrought with fears of what could happen if they went their separate ways.  The trials and the loneliness that comes through is so heart wrenching you just want to hug her and tell her things will be ok. 

   This is a story that will have you cheering for Rose and also wanting to shake her. Everyone has that one moment that will define them for the rest of their lives and coming to terms with what has happened in the past that shaped them into the person they are now . This author weaves a story of love , betrayal and redemption in a way that will have you shedding a tear for the main characters . This would be a good rainy day read that gives you a glimpse of what love can do.

GOOD EVENING ALL I AM ON THE LAST OF THE NOVELLAS FOR READER ROUND UP

   Good evening peeps , I am on the second last novella for the reader round up and tonight's book is another book by one of my favorite authors R.L Merrill. book 2 in the Bolder Breed Studios  LOVE AND PRIDE , 


                          BOOK BLURB



Popstar Unice Love is thrilled to be recording a high-profile holiday tune for charity, and super-producer Lydia Pride knows she can do something special with Love’s exceptional vocal instrument. Sparks fly between the spirited ingenue and the seasoned musician, but Unice will need to get past the obstacles that have held her back and learn to speak up for what she wants, and Lydia will have to let her in if they’re going to make beautiful music together.


                        MY REVIEW

 Unice Love is so happy to be doing a christmas song for charity but her handlers are well so over protective poor Unice can't breathe, but when she meets Lydia Pride the producer for her song. Lydia sees potential in Unice and her sultry voice. Sparks fly for the both of them but Unice needs to learn to stand up for herself and tell them and Lydia what she wants and Lydia will make beautiful music with Unice. 

 Unice has been a star since she was a teen ager. She has been doing what the record company wanted for as long as she could remember. She is so sweet but she is also a nervous wreck She wants to grow up as a singer but everyone wants her to still be the campy teen that she was . Lydia is actually a kind of a hard nosed producer and wants to take Unice to the heights she knows she can go and she feels a pull towards Unice . There is a sadness in both the women each having a secret that they have to come through to figure each other out. I truly like this couple they are complex and you want to just hug both of them j

 This is book 2 in the Bolder breed studios series and it is just as fun to read as the first book. The characters are fun to read and the story is a fast read . I truly like the writing style of this author and her stories are great for your summer reading list.

                           BOOK BLURB 



 Lucca Calvaricci

What do you do when your dreams go to Hell in a handbasket? You find a new dream.                                    At least, that's what I did. It just took me a decade to do it.
See, once upon a time, I was flying high on the ice until an accident destroyed my hopes of going pro. Now, I want to start my own team, but to win over the league, I need the best in the PR business.
Enter Maxine Andrews. She's sexy, sassy, and loves a challenge. This little spitfire keeps me on my toes, and I want to make her mine.

Maxine Andrews

I'm the best sports PR rep at Capital Time Media, and one of the best in the entire country. That's not pride, it's just a fact. When my boss informed me Lucca Calvaricci from Calvaricci Enterprises wanted to meet with me, I was intrigued. His company was into everything from real estate, to big pharma, and even cybernetics. What did he need me for?
Color me surprised when he told me he wanted to start his own professional hockey team and wanted me to pitch it. This was definitely a challenge I couldn't back down from.
The only problem? The man was sex on a stick and I'd sworn off all men-excluding my son.

And yet, somehow he gets through all of my walls. But can I really trust him with my heart?

                     MY REVIEW 
 
      Lucca Calvaricci was on his way to the NHL until the day an accident took his chances away. He worked his way up in the real estate game and learnt from his father and became a magnat. Until the day he decides he wants to start his own NHL hockey team someplace warm. Maxine Andrews walks in the best pr pitch woman out there. When they work together to get the team going but things get more when they start to fall for each other. Will they be able to keep it professional for the sake of the team or will love triumph
  Lucca is well he is walking sex on a stick and he knows it . He knows how to get what he wants and works hard at the same time. He has his best friends that are there for him. There is something missing though in his life. . Enter Maxine a pr rep that is the best in the business. She is self assured and man she knows her job. She is a gorgeous woman who has had trauma in her life and has sworn off men all except for her little son. She has a sadness to her that you can see in her eyes, Their friends are a fun group that will do anything for them . Each character is well written and you really like them , Just wish they were a little bit more complex as the story went on.
     This is a fun story that is all about hockey players and the loves that are coming into their lives . You can finish it in an afternoon the author writes a fun fueled story but I do wish that it was just a little more , it kind of got a little overused the word doll. He always called her doll and it just got repetitive . Over all I did like this story and liked reading it. So if you want a hot men on the way to making their futures amazing on and off the ice check it out

GOOD MORNING FROM READER ROUND UP

 Good rainy morning my peeps , its a great day to curl up and read here on the farm yes it is raining yet again. Today I have for you another book from one of my favorite authors R.L Merrill and her book PINUPS AND PUPPIES .


                            BOOK BLURB



Marianne Cross has lived a life of structure and purpose for the past twenty-four years. Now reluctantly retired from the Air Force, her life is missing those two things that have always defined her. As she struggles to decide where her future lies, she finds peace and solitude flying her vintage airplane. When an opportunity with the organization Pawsitive Flight comes along, allowing her to combine flying with a purpose, she’s interested in the possibilities—especially those concerning the owner of Goth Dog Rescue, Dinah Shaw. She’s tough, beautiful, and she makes Marianne want things she hasn’t allowed herself to want in a long time.

Dinah Shaw is happy with her life’s mission, connecting needy pups with families that will love them. It’s hard but fulfilling work that completely satisfies her—until she meets Marianne Cross. Part of Dinah is more than ready to hop in the jump seat and show the shy pilot a good time, but the other part isn’t interested in another woman who’s just passing through, looking for Ms. Right-For-Now. She’s been there and done that. Until she discovers what she wants to do with her life, Marianne is a possible flight risk Dinah can’t afford to trust.

Flying rescue dogs to their furever homes may give Marianne new purpose, and even a home of her own in the process…if Dinah can risk her heart on a little fly-by-night romance.



                        MY REVIEW 

 When retired air force pilot Marianne is asked by her niece to fly a mother dog and her puppies to the Gothic dog rescue. She decides to help out but what she didn't know is that she was going to meet a dynamo named Dinah who might just help heal the wounds of the past and give Marianne the future she wants and needs . 


 Ok lets talk dog rescues and pin up girls. Marianne is by the books , following orders from her commanding officers. She likes structure and is still trying to decide what to do with her life after her retirement. She needs fun in her life and Dinah might be the one to do it. Dinah is well lets call her a free spirit ,loves dogs and rockabilly style. She is well you can call her a pin up girl but there is a sadness to her that she hides pretty well. They both don't want to get hurt again so they both say the wrong thing at different times . I truly like both of these characters they are perfectly flawed but trying to heal from the past that hurt them. I love how they are total opposites of each other but they are more a like then they realize. 


   This is a fun read from the author. She takes such a sweet story and adds a twist to it that had me finishing the book in an evening . It is a f/f story and the main characters are well written . I do wish it was a little longer cause I really wanted to see where these two would end up . Over all I truly liked this story and love reading this author. A good read for your pool side reads this summer .
