WE ARE BACK FOR READER ROUND UP FALL EDITION

   Good afternoon my peeps , we are back and it is round up time. Today I have for you an new author and her book . TIME WARPED by Micky O' Brady 


                            BOOK BLURB



 Two-hundred years in the future, Earth has founded the United Space Exploration Fleet. Their outreach brought humanity new allies, but also new enemies. Seventeen-year-old prodigy Nonie Thorburn has been unexpectedly promoted to Lieutenant of the United Space Exploration Fleet and given a top-secret mission—which soon goes awry. Thrust forty years into the past to a critical junction in time, Nonie finds herself stranded on the USEF Pioneer under the famous and—in her time—long-dead Captain Kieran Wildason, whom she instantly feels drawn toward.A young wunderkind like herself, the two seem to be made for each other, but under no circumstances can she alter the timeline and risk the future she knows—and that means Kieran and any interference are off limits. However, when Nonie learns that the truth behind her arrival in the past is far more sinister than she expected, the lines begin to blur.Trapped between the events unfolding in front of her eyes and the history she remembers; Nonie becomes the anchor point the future hinges on. With Kieran’s life on the line, she must make a decision that could delete her future and change the timeline forever.


                                       MY REVIEW 

      Nonie a seventeen year old prodigy has made Lieutenant in the USEF program and is sent on a mission that takes her to an alien planet . But Nonie finds herself stranded on the USEF ship the Pioneer 
forty years in the past with legends that she has learnt of .  When she she meets Captain Kieran Wildason she feels compelled and drawn to him.  She can't interfere with his time line because she could destroy each of them. Now she is stuck between time lines and has become the anchor point that both the future and the past depend on. 

    Nonie is a sweet character but is also as tough as nails . She is trying to figure out what she should do
when she is stuck between the two worlds the past and future. She comes to terms with what is happening  while she is fighting to protect the past and the future.  Kieran is a hero in her life from the future. He is a good guy who commands attention but only wants what is right . They are a good team and they really do have a good way of communicating and helping each other . They are well written and have room to grow and become more complex through out the book. 

  This is one of those stories that has fun characters , intrigue , aliens and time jumps into the past . The author has written a fun story with wonderful characters . It is a long book but as you read it , it doesn't feel like it is a long read. i truly enjoyed this story and the characters but I did feel like in some areas it did drag just a little . Not enough to take me out of the book but it was there. Over all this was a great book and I think your teens would like to read . So if you want a book you and your teen can read this fall and winter season

GOOD AFTERNOON MY FRIENDS

   Good afternoon my peeps , sorry I haven't been around summer on the farm has been busy and I mean busy this summer. Today I have for you book 2 in the The Lady and the Blade series . BENEATH HIS BLADE by Hp Mallory 


                           BOOK BLURB



                        I came to Camelot to destroy the king. Instead, I became his prisoner.

When my forbidden magic is exposed, I'm branded a witch, a traitor, and a threat to the realm.

Now my magic has been exposed, my freedom has been stripped away, and everyone in Camelot seems determined to decide my fate.

Arthur wants my obedience.
Lancelot wants to forget me.
And Corvin would burn down kingdoms to keep me safe.

As forbidden magic awakens and tensions rise within Camelot's walls, I'm forced to navigate a deadly game of loyalty, betrayal, and desire: all while trying not to lose myself to the men who threaten to consume every piece of me.

They think they've captured a witch.

They're about to discover they've trapped something much more dangerous.


                        MY REVIEW 
  Guinevere has been captured by King Arthur and is now imprisoned at Camelot.  Arthur wants to claim her , Lancelot just honestly wants to forget her and his love for her. Covin will do anything to have her even burn down the world for her. She is trying to figure out what she should do , it seems that a piece of her belongs to each man. But when a forbidden magic starts to awaken , Guin is forced to navigate a web of darkness that has her questioning loyalty , betrayal and the desire that is building and not loosing herself in the desire each man has for her .

   Guin is a strong woman who is just a beacon on how to do things to keep her sanity in the court, she is strong but also soft in so many ways . She is basically the heart of this book and you really want her to come through everything ok. Her strength has her best and worst trait. She fights a silent battle for the men who want to control her. You really see her growth through out the book. You really start cheer for her and love her. 

 This is a story of what can happen when your power is there and will help you out . There is such a perseverance of character and when push comes to shove your inner strength will come through and get you through the bad times and help you navigate the darkness . This is a big book that is steeped in legends and lore and such a new twist on the Camelot lore . I would read book one before venturing deeper into this story.  It is a great read and I love the lore and the darkness  that is is evolving through out this series . Lets see where she takes them in future books . This will be a great read for the winter reading list .

GOOD EVENING ALL

  Good evening all, hope your summer is going well and you are staying cool in the heatwave. We have started haying along with reading it has been busy out here. Today I have for you SUN KING  book 47 in the Haven Hollow series by HP Mallory and JR Rain.


                           BOOK BLURB 



A royal coronation. An ancient alchemical elixir. A bargain that could cost Poppy everything.

Life in Haven Hollow has finally begun to feel... normal.

 Poppy is settling into her new life as an alchemist, her relationship with Andre has never been stronger, and her son Finn is one step closer to embracing his own magical future.

Then the heir to the Summer Court, Cosmo, walks into her potion shop.

Cosmo needs a rare alchemical elixir known as Sun King for his upcoming coronation, and he insists that Poppy is the only person capable of brewing it. The request seems straightforward—until a single kiss leaves behind a mysterious magical mark... and strange dreams begin pulling Poppy toward a destiny she never agreed to.

As ancient faerie traditions awaken, political tensions simmer between the Courts, and dangerous magic blurs the line between dream and reality, Poppy must uncover the truth before she loses more than her heart.

Because in Faerie, every favor has a price.

And the Summer Court never asks for anything it isn't prepared to take.

                               MY REVIEW 
 Things in Haven Hollow have been normal or as normal as one can get with a town full of super naturals . Poppy is settling down with her new powers as an alchemist, trying not to blow up the whole hollow. She is love with the man of her dreams and her soul mate. Her friends are all doing well and thriving . Wanda is adjusting to being a vampire to keep her niece human. Things are going great until the day a Fae comes in and asks for her to make a potion called the Sun King for an upcoming coronation in the Summer court . But after a kiss on the cheek give Poppy scary dreams and lustful thoughts . They have to figure out what is going on before Cosmos claims her and Finn to capture the crown . 

  Poppy and the guys are back and funnier than ever . Poppy is still sweet and overly kind but she is also kind of a basket case when it comes to Alchemy. She is in love and happy most of the time . Cosmos is a fae from the summer court and is very charming and calculating in ways that would make you blush. He is someone you can't turn your back on , he is ruthless in what he wants . Wanda , Talia and the rest of the hollow are back ready to fight for Poppy and get her  out of jam she got herself into . 

   These characters are like coming home, they have become like your best friends and family . I couldn't wait to crack open the book and start reading . I laughed through out the book thinking what else could they possibly get into . This series has so many off shoots but each and every book is like coming home and relaxing . If you like a good fun, fast read this is the book for you .

WELL IT IS THE FINAL DAY FOR READER ROUND UP

   Good morning my peeps , it is the last day of reader round up and it is a good day to read out here on the farm it is raining out again.  Yes I have another new to me author . DEVIOUS SECRETS by Measha Stone. 


                          BOOK BLURB



 She thought she could steal from me. Now she belongs to me.

The moment she walks into my club—dressed in a stolen uniform, carrying a tray of champagne—I know she doesn't belong. 

When I catch her in my office, stealing secrets, I give her a choice: tell me who sent her... or find out exactly what happens to those who cross a Volkov.

She's fire and defiance wrapped in silk, and the harder she resists, the deeper my obsession sinks. I'm possessive. Overprotective. Dangerous. Now she's in my bed, bound by my rules—and I don't play fair.

She's made enemies, and they're closing in. But they'll have to get through me first.

                       MY REVIEW 
 It all started with an attempted theft from one of the most notorious gangsters Alexander Volkov.  After trying to get a thumb drive from his office , she is given to the option or telling him who sent her and why she needs the thumb drive. Or find out what it is like to be on the wrong end of the Volkov.  But she pushes him and drives him crazy and the harder she ignores him the more obsessed with her and the fact that he wants her in his bed and with him, She has made a bunch of enemies and now they are coming to call but they will have to get through him first.
   Alexander and Megan are such a fun couple. Alexander is your typical mafia boss. Overbearing. over protective and oh so controlling,  There is a side to him that comes out when he is with Megan. Megan is feisty and loyal but most of the time she is well just dumb. If she would listen things might go a bit better. We also get to meet other members of the family and they are all just fun to read . Elana is one of my favorite characters. She is the only girl in the family and really pushes each of the brothers buttons on a daily basis. 

   This is one of those books that is dark and has kinks (daddy) and gangsters . The author takes us on an adventure. There is a lot of smexy times and violence .I really did enjoy this book and the characters . So if you want a smexy book for this summer check it out .
