GOOD MORNING IS IS DAY 2 OF NOVELS IN READER ROUNDUP

  Good morning my peeps , it is day two of the novel portion of the reader roundup. Today we have for you COLORED LIES by V.J Lee. 


                             BOOK BLURB 



 I'm Jordan Ann Bland, Jo to my friends.

I hate lies.

I know from personal experience they ruin lives. To me, every lie has a color. The only lies I usually tell are pink ones; they don't hurt anyone, but they make my life more exciting, much less—well, bland, and I don't even have to leave the comfort of my home.

Then one night, I go against everything I believe and tell a gray lie, the kind that can hurt others, and it happens in front of one of the sexiest men I've ever seen. Now, I must keep telling these lies, so he doesn't catch onto my secret. These gray lies are now turning into one of the worst-colored lies—black. This is why I hate all lies other than the pink ones.

To make things worse, this gorgeous man is dragging me around to do every pink lie I ever told; I have a feeling he knows I'm a liar.

I hate liars, even though I am one.

I'm Roman Joseph Arndt-Blackwell, RJ to my friends.

I hate all liars.

Chalk it up to a bad past relationship. I don't want to be around liars, or get stuck in another relationship with one. But when the petite blonde in the bar makes a comment I know to be one whopper of a lie, I feel I need to do something about it, even though I must lie to her in turn—trust me, I know how hypocritical it is. Still, something about Jo draws me in, as much as it pushes me away.

My scheme to out her as a liar, opens my eyes to fun and, quite possibly, love. I do know one thing I refuse to do is fall for another liar, no matter how attracted I am to her.

I hate liars, even though I am one.

                       MY REVIEW 
  Jo hates lies she knows that they can hurt people . She labels each type of lie with a color  The pink lies don't hurt anyone so those are the ones she tries to tell . Until the night she tells a grey lie , which could hurt someone, not only she tells the lie but she tells it in front of the most handsome man she has met . Roman, he hates all liars male and female, after a bad relationship he hates them all . Until the night he runs into Jo at the bar and after hearing her tell the whopper of a lie and now he wants to catch her in the lie and call her out. Even if he has to lie to her to get her to open up. Will they be able to figure out what is going on and finally figure out that they are meant to be together. 
  Roman and Jo as such fun characters , they are two sides of the same coin but they just don't know it . Jo hates liars and tries not to lie but when does she tell one its a whopper . She is a sweet woman who has labeled lies colors . When she meets Roman. who is one hot man and also kind of full of himself. He tries his worst to see if he can get her caught in her own lies . But as they hang out they find out there is more to them then meets the eye. Like falling in love and finally having the relationship worth having. This book does have an ensemble cast of characters that come and go through out the book and keep Jo and Roman on the right path sort of way. Each character is well written and they are complex . You will like them and fall in love with them by the end of the book. 
  This is one those books that once you start you will be sucked in trying to figure out what their true hearts have . It is a love story that is mixed with a kind of revenge story between the two main characters. I love that the main female character has named colors to the lies she hears and when the main guy tries to figure her out well there is romance. Lots of romance . I do like this story and the authors way of writing so if you want a good story with lots of fun characters check it out . A great beach book for this summer .

GOOD DAY AND WELCOME TO DAY 1 OF NOVELS FOR READER ROUND UP

  Good morning my peeps , today is day one of novels for reader roundup. Our first book of reader round up is AS ANGELS WEEP by Kali Willows .


                           BOOK BLURB



 Penance was inconsequential to me once upon a time. Now, for the first time in my life, it means everything. My soul depends on it.

For years, I swindled wealthy women and made shady business deals, regardless of how it impacted my victims. In just seven days, I face spiritual exile. My fate is to be doomed to purgatory for my past deeds, selfishness, and cruelty.

My one chance at salvation? I have an assignment to complete, with rules, strict rules, and unspeakable consequences if I fail.

Whoever said good guys finish last was sadly mistaken. I’d never been a good guy. Now, I have to be one if I want redemption. ~ Luther Evans


                        MY REVIEW 
 Luther was not a good man . he was a serial cheater and he was a swindler and well basically a con man, until the day someone tried to take him out and now he has seven days to redeem himself and get it right with God and those who he hurt to be redeemed. There are rules so many rules that will keep him on the right path or the consequences are dire an eternal life in purgatory . Now this bad boy needs to be the man who is the good guy for all those around him and most of all a good guy for himself. 

  Omg I have never wanted to slap someone so hard but Luther is that one character I wish i could of taken a frying pan upside his head . He was well I honestly don't think he could be redeemable in my eyes . As we watch him though we actually see him turning into the man he should of been all along . He was such a broken man and he grew into the man he was suppose to be 
There are so many characters that teach him a lesson , Gabrielle is the arch angel that is put in charge of his redemption and along the way they become close . She is a sweet woman with the power of love and she really does help Luther through the hard stuff while he is trying figure out what he needs to do . Theses characters are so well written and you can't help but cheer for Luther as he goes on his journey. 

  This is one of those books that when you start you don't put down until you are done . The author takes us on a very emotional roller coaster ride of what it means for redemption .  This book will also make you think a little on what and how your life is and how you can be more compassionate and loving towards others . I truly enjoyed this book and was happy everyone got their happily ever after. So if you want a book that will have you turning pages all night check it out.

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 .

Books to curl up with: HAPPY RELEASE DAY

Books to curl up with: 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...

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.
