GOOD MORNING PEEPS

  Good morning peeps, yes I will tell you that reader round up is slowly winding down. Three more days of books for you all . Today I have book 3 in the Burt Ends series . MARINATED LIES by Erica J Whelton. 

                            BOOK BLURB

                              He returned with lies. They came with consequences.

When Melody's long-lost father walks back into her life after twenty years of silence, she knows something doesn't add up. Ryan's carefully crafted story about reconciliation has too many holes, and his suspicious questions about the restaurant's operations suggest motives that have nothing to do with family.

Jackie and Lauren thought they'd faced the worst Prairie Rose had to offer. They were wrong. Because Ryan didn't return alone. He brought a million-dollar debt to a Chicago-based criminal organization, and those debts are collected in blood.

As a parade of suspicious investigators descends on Charlie Joe's BBQ Shack, each with their own agenda and questionable credentials, Charlie Joe's nieces must determine who's legitimate, who's compromised, and who's working directly for the criminals hunting Ryan. When the danger escalates from surveillance to direct threats, they realize they're not just dealing with one deadbeat father's mistakes. They're caught in the middle of an organized crime operation that views them as collateral damage.

With Sheriff Ray Martinez coordinating federal assistance and Melody's brilliant analytical mind working overtime, the family races to uncover the truth before Ryan's past destroys their present. But in a game where every investigator could be an enemy and trust is a luxury they can't afford, survival means making impossible choices about family, loyalty, and the price of protection.

In Prairie Rose, some family reunions are better left uncooked, and some debts demand more than money can pay.

                     MY REVIEW 

 The ladies of Charlie Joe's BBQ Shack are back with more going on then they can handle . When Melody's dad walks into the restaurant and wants to reconnect with the child he walked away from twenty some years ago. Jackie and Lauren are against it but Melody and her analytical mind want to figure out who her dad is and why he left her. But wait there is more going on than a reunion. Ryan seems off and then all the other people coming in casing out the restaurant. Can't figure out who is real or an enemy. With the help of Ray the police chief and Melody's mind and critical thinking the real reason will come to light and the family will need everything in their power to survive this one. 

 Lauren, Jackie and Melody are back the ladies have grown so much and become such a close knit family along with Jovi and Emma. They keep the restaurant running and the people fed. They have grown closer and stronger the more they are together .  Police Chief Ray is a sweet but tough man. He only has eyes for Lauren and wants to keep her and the others safe.  We get to meet two new people . Ryan , Melody's runaway father. He is kind of shifty and really doesn't have anyone's best interest at heart. He is well he is just not evil but will call him misguided , We also get to meet their mom at the end of the book and boy I can't wait to read what is up with her . She sounds like she is going to be a mess and I am there for it. Each character is well written and I can't wait to dive back into them. 

  This is book 3 in the series and honestly it gets a little dark with lots of suspense, deception and conspiracies.  The author takes us on a roller coaster ride that had me flipping pages all night. There are still some light hearted scenes to go along with all the suspense. This is a fun series that will have you cheering for the good guys and also kinda hungry by the time you are done. Oh I forgot to mention that the author posts a recipe mentioned in the book at the back of the story. There are some good recipes there. So if you want a fun book check out this series . I do suggest read the books in order to fall in love with these ladies .

GOOD AFTERNOON ALL

  Good afternoon my peeps , we are slowly coming to an end of reader round up . Today I have for you book 5 in he Temporal Armistices Series . THE BURNING ALCHEMIST by Mathew S Cox 

                               BOOK BLURB 

 Brooklyn Amari is so excited to have a kid, she’s beside herself—literally.

The six-year-old isn’t her daughter, but a copy of her in all ways except age. Despite a seventeen-year age gap, being around Pandora makes her feel like a kid again, which means mischief. Who has time to destroy all of creation when there are pranks to play?

Brooklyn inherited powers some might call demonic from her father, but also epic laziness. From her mother, she came down with a severe case of conscience. While she tries to do the right thing, having little respect for the law and weak impulse control sometimes results in destructive shortcuts, blood, and screaming.

Lawrence again asks for her help investigating a fire. Upon learning eighteen people died, Mom’s gift of morality cramps her desire to laze around having fun. Once a psychic hit reveals how twisted the arsonist is, Brooklyn fully commits to hunting him down. Problem is: he knows she’s coming… and her friends aren’t fireproof.

                        MY REVIEW 

  Brooklyn and the gang are back and Brooklyn is ecstatic about having a kid. Especially that the child is the spitting image of her. Brooklyn has inherited some powers that can be called demonic qualities from her father. She tries so hard to the right thing with her powers but Pandora is another thing she is a little devil acting just like Brooklyn when she was younger.  Then there is Lawrence asking for help from Brooklyn. When a psychic hit reveals how twisted the arsonist is . Brooklyn is now fully committed to finding the arsonist the only thing is that he knows she is coming. and she is scared for her friends cause they aren't fireproof

      Brooklyn and the gang are back , she is getting into being a mom and Pandora is surviving She is really having a time with Pandora cause she already knows her powers as Brooklyn didn't know what she was doing.I love how the characters are evolving and becoming more and more complex. Each character is complex and even the villians are creepy and complex 

   This is the fifth book and with each book the characters are more evolved . The author has such a talent for creating characters and world that are complex and always evolving and expanding.  This is a fun read that is a fast read.  I truly enjoyed this series and can't wait to read the last book in the series .

GOOD EVENING WE HAVE BOOK THREE IN THE FORCES OF NATURE SERIES

    Good evening peeps, Yes it is I again and yes I have the last book in the Forces of Nature series by R,L Merrill EARTHQUAKE ETHAN 

                            BOOK BLURB

 The Earth shook the morning actor Ethan Bradley arrived in Los Angeles looking for a second chance. He hoped his former producers Reese Matheson and Toby Griffiths meant it when they said to look them up if he were ever in LA because he had no other options. The pictures the paparazzi took at the wrap party for their London show made sure of that. What he wasn’t counting on was the reception he got from their manager, Arthur Frye. He was absolutely the kind of together guy Ethan wished would notice him, and for more than his pretty face and talent. Too bad Arthur only sees Ethan as a complication.

Arthur Frye has his hands full with his best clients—and best friends. The last thing he needs is another diva to care for, especially one who has a reputation for causing trouble. He has a strict rule against getting involved with the talent, no matter how pretty they are. Only Ethan Bradley shines for real, and when Arthur realizes his nice-guy innocence is genuine, he’s ready to do anything to help Ethan get his career back on track and get him out of LA. He’s too much of a temptation, and Arthur can’t afford to lose focus…not even for a chance at happiness for himself. Especially not when his star clients are about to risk their professional and personal happiness with their newest creation; a musical about two boys falling in love in the 1960s featuring music written by Reese’s grandfather, whose health is in decline.

Ethan Bradley shakes things up wherever he goes, and Arthur Frye is afraid he’ll be left in the wreckage if he gets too close. Can these two opposites find love on solid ground?

                       MY REVIEW 

 Ethan has a jolt the first moment he got off the plane in Los Angeles , He is there to meet Reese and Toby about a part in their new production after what happened in London. This was his only choice. Where he meets Arthur a talent manager with loads of clients but when he realizes that Ethan's good nature and sweetness is the real thing and Arthur can't take his hands off of him. But Ethan shakes up every thing and Arthur is trying not to be left in the wreckage. Can these two opposites find love .

  Ethan is the life of the party but after a bad time in London he was let go by his publicity managers and has to come home . He is a sweet guy with a fun personality.  There is also a sadness to him that he hides from everyone, he is so innocent but he hides it well . Arthur is more stoic and he hides his heart well , Such a hard worker who hides behind his hard working . I really like these two together they really balance each other out . We also get to see Reese , Toby and the rest of the gang .

  This story is kind of a complicated one. We hit a couple of heavy topics of homelessness and food insecurity.  The characters are fun to read and the author takes us on a quite a ride. This is a m/m romance with lots of twists and turns . I truly enjoyed this series and this author's style of writing . Check out this series if you love a good romance with more substance that will leave you wanting more.
