WELCOME TO TUESDAY

  Good afternoon peeps, another day of reader round up and today I have for you a new author for me . Book one in the Invictus Securities , UNFOUNDED by Angela Rush. 

                          BOOK BLURB



 Marley

I'm a simple girl who's had a hard life. Mom raised me to be independent, to not depend on a man for anything. However, things have been happening that I'm no longer able to handle on my own. I feel like I'm drowning. I don't see a way out. Then when I'm at my lowest. He appears offering to save me. The man I've been daydreaming about for the last year. Can I trust him not only with my safety, but with my heart?

Luke
I'm infatuated with an adorable waitress. I've never had an issue asking women out before, but she is different. Marley sees me for who I am, a successful businessman with a sharp mind, even though I lost the ability to walk.
When I find her sobbing and alone, the need to protect her overwhelms me. Once she lets me in on her frightening situation my fate is sealed.
Marley is mine and no one will harm her again.
As my security company begins to dig into the mysterious events, I uncover a conspiracy that is a matter of national security. I'll do whatever I can to keep Marley safe, while hopefully preventing a terrorist attack on our country. While chaos is all around us, I will show her that her fears about falling in love are unfounded.
                       MY REVIEW 
Luke is the head of Invictus securities and one day when his brothers and him head out to lunch he watches the woman he is infatuated with working hard . He has it bad for her because she sees him for who he is and not the man in the wheelchair. When he found her crying one day she needs protecting and he is the one that will protect her. Things go darked than just her loosing her job.  They find out that what is happening is a terrorist attack that will cause chaos for everyone. Will they be able to keep Marley safe and along with saving the love they share. 
   Luke and Marley are such an interesting couple. Luke is a self made man that even though he is in a wheel chair has a air about him that is all about don't mess with me. Underneath the tough exterior he is a sweet guy who just wants to have a love that understands him and wants to be with him for him. 
   Marley is a fun loving woman who loves life and wants to fall in love with a sweet man. She does have a issue with trying to do things for herself. Her stubborn streak is a mile wide and she hates to ask for help at any time. She does get on your nerves a little bit through out the book. Over all she does redeem herself towards the end . 
  Each of these characters are well written but I think the author could of made them more complex as the story went on. We also get to meet the brothers and sister . Each character was written well. 
 This is one of those books that you can read in a day. There is a story within a story and you will have a good time with it. I do believe this is a really good story with insta love theme but i did drag a little through out the book. Over all I did enjoy this book and i think you would also. So check it out for your fall and winter reading list

GOOD MONDAY ALL

  Good Monday my peeps , I have lost count on what book I am on for reader round up. Today I have for you book seven in the Magical Forces book HELL OF A NEW BEGINNING by Hope Daniels and Alicia Dawn 


                           BOOK BLURB



The call to war has rung.Battle looms and blood will spill.

Hungry for justice, Zoey is on the hunt for Colleen. But she isn't the only one with a vendetta. Disdain runs deep and deadly as the two sides of a mighty faction prepare for their final stand-off.
The time has come. Who will rise and who will fall in this long-awaited reckoning?


                      MY REVIEW 
  The call has been called and the battle is starting. The blood will be spilt but who's blood will 
it be. Zoey is hunting for someone and she isn't the only one. Colleen is on the run but if the 
fractions come to war disdain is high and blood is about to spill. Who will rise and who will 
fall and how much blood will be spilled 

    There are so many characters in this book, all the couples from the other books in the series
and they are ready to fight . Each set of characters come together to fight for what is right.
 Zoey is tough but also sweet and she wants to get the job done. Colleen is well you can't 
really trust her. She wants to take it all . They fight like there is no tomorrow and only one will
survive, These characters are very well written and complex . I love that the authors brought 
all the characters back for one epic battle of good and evil. 

   This is a story that would be good if you knew all the players that are in the books . The 
authors really built a great world of good and evil. I truly enjoyed this story but there were
moments where it felt like it kind of slowed down . This is a good series to read in your fall 
and winter list check it out

moments where it just kind of slowed down a little .

WELCOME TO A DRAB AND DREARY SUNDAY

  Good afternoon my peeps, its Thanksgiving weekend here on the farm and it is a drab and dreary day here. So you dive into a book from the reader round up and read it . Today it is a romantic suspense from Dana Mason book one in Embrace series . DANGEROUS EMBRACE 


                          BOOK BLURB



Sarah Jennings knows fear. After escaping an abusive relationship eight years ago, Sarah finally has the quiet life she’s always wanted, and she’s less fearful than she’s ever been. Until a random act of brutal violence reminds her that safe is only an illusion.

Mark Summers’ plan was always to marry his high school sweetheart and have a large family with her. He never doubted this plan until he finds his wife in the arms of another man. Left heartbroken, he devotes himself to running his security business and following his passion for protecting the vulnerable.

And Sarah Jennings is as vulnerable as they come.

Scared and wanting to run again, Sarah can’t deny there’s something extraordinary about this handsome stranger dead set on protecting her. Mark will stop at nothing to keep her safe from the madman out to get her, but as love becomes a distraction, he realizes he might be in over his head.

Just as things start to settle down and Sarah feels safe again, her past comes back and threatens her happily ever after. Mark will have to rewrite the rules if he wants to save the woman he loves and secure their future together.

                      MY REVIEW 
  Sarah was walking home one evening and a random act of violence sends her into a fight for her life with long ago emotions that are coming back. She fights for her life as a madman is wanting to hurt her. Mark Summers is a security person that will do anything to keep her safe. but when the truth comes out and they are both running from their pasts will they be able to keep their lives and their love entacted. And keep the future that they want entact. 
    Sara is a strong woman who is hiding a past that is full of sorrow and trauma. She relies on no one but herself but that changes one night. When she is pushed and fights back. She really is a strong willed woman who kind of sabotages herself most of the time. Mark Summers is an ex cop , a good guy who does mess up every now and then. He wants to help Sara out but they are both constantly getting in each others way. Mark comes off a few times as an alpha he man a bit but he just wants to keep the ones he cares about safe. These two are wonderful flawed characters that grow as they realize that they do love and need each other. 
   This is a book that is haunting and has triggers of abuse and miscarriage and surviving to come out the other side. The author writes a story of redemption and healing and finding love through the chaos. The only bad thing I have to say is that in a few areas it kind of dragged a bit but over all I truly enjoyed this book and the suspense it held . A good book for your fall evening reading list , check it out

WELCOME BACK TO READER ROUND UP

  Good afternoon peeps , its a dreary day here on the farm a great day to read . I have a new author for you Here is ELEMENTRIS by Christine Mobley

                            BOOK BLURB



There are people born in this world with a powerful connection to the earth itself...

They have an unbreakable and extraordinary bond. Every seven years, five people are born on the same day, at the exact same time. The elements bind them; earth, fire, wind, water, and spirit. They call them, Elementris.

Ava Vangeretta is seventeen years old and different. Unlike most born of the element, she was born alone. She has the power of all five elements. Ava is the first True Elementris to be born in many years. As her eighteenth birthday approaches she is faced with a choice. Give up this rare gift and live the normal life she has always craved or accept it and challenge the current True Elementris in a battle to the death!

Ava's past haunts her as she struggles to decide. In her present, the seasons are colliding together, storms are destroying lives, and love is a dangerous curse. The current True Elementris is behind it all and she will do whatever necessary to keep Ava from making it to her eighteenth birthday. Ava's decision threatens the lives of the two people she cares about most. Can you choose between love and friendship?

                       MY REVIEW

 Ava Vangeretta isn't your average seventeen year old. She is different and has the power of all five elements. She is a true Elementris the first one born in a long time. As her eighteenth birthday comes up she has to make a decision does she want to give up her powers and have a life a normal life or accept her fate and   challenge the current Elementris to a battle to the death. She has to figure out if love is a dangerous curse. Will Ava's decision threaten the lives of those who love and she loves . Can she truly between love and friendship 

   Ava is a sweet girl who is trying to come to terms with her magic and if she should really keep her magic. She was left alone when her mom couldn't handle what she has become . She has a inner fight with herself and when her friend Brea is trouble she helps her out with a protection spell. She becomes a fighter for those she cares for and when push comes to shove she will do whatever it takes to save those she loves . She has a cast of characters that surround her and help her. Alec is you typical guy who will help you out when he can but there is something that you just can't really trust him, Each of these characters are well written and they grow as the story moves on. I can't wait to see where the author takes them in up coming books. 

   This is a good read that I read in an evening. The author keeps us entertained and flipping pages . I like the way the author uses the elemental side of witch craft and calls the natural part of the craft. We also get to see how a teen can handle the pressure of what is to come. This could be a great book to read with your older teen and you for the fall and winter reading list
