GOOD MORNING ALL IT 'S FRIDAY

  Well we made it to Friday, hope I haven't bored you all yet . We have one more week of reader round up to go. Today I have for you book 2 in the Bayou Crescent wolves series  COLE by Madison Granger


                               BOOK BLURB



 Cole Landry is living his best life. His position as Enforcer of the Bayou Crescent wolfpack isn’t a difficult one as the pack lifestyle is laid-back. So, no stress, right? It gives him time to charm the ladies, what Cole does best… until he meets the one female who isn’t caught up in his appeal.

Fox shifter, Kenzie Butler is done with men. Cheated on too many times, she’s tired of having her heart broken. She’s better off alone, focusing on herself to heal. When an old friend invites her to spend Christmas in a small Louisiana town, Kenzie jumps at the chance. This could be the haven she’s searching for… until she meets an annoying, egocentric wolf shifter who always seems to show up wherever she is.

A slow-burn story of Fated Mates who are trying to heal, learning to grow, and finding new love under unusual circumstances
                                            .MY REVIEW
 Welcome back to the pack, Cole the youngest of the brothers and the pack enforcer. He is living life and loving hard until the day one of the humans he cares about gets murdered and he is arrested for the crime . He is let go and he is hurting inside and doesn't want to have to deal with any female . Until Kenzie comes to town to stay with her friend Tansy. Something shifts in Cole and he wants to get to know Kenzie but Kenzie is sworn off men of any kind after her run ins with her ex . But the attraction is hot and you can't deny your animal instincts when they are screaming MATE MATE MATE. Will they be able to figure out what they want before it is too late.
  Cole and Kenzie's book is full of heart ache and actually a little heart break . Kenzie is a fox shifter who is honestly tougher than she looks and is one that should not be mistaken for a pushover . Cole is a playboy who reputation precedes him. He loves life and the ladies but is yearning for some one that he can have a family with and have that one true love that his brother Zane has. Lilah really turns into a villian in this book. She is so determined to be Coles she does almost anything to get at both him and Kenzie. Until the moment Kenzie shows her who the boss really is . Lilah deserves what she got because she was such a witch . I absolutely loved these character .
     This was a slow burn story with some baggage added to it from both main characters . The story is pretty fast paced but I do wish we got to see Kenzie's ex come to town and go against Cole. Just to add an extra layer to the story line . I was so waiting for it through the whole book. I enjoyed this one a little bit more then I liked Zane's book . It took a bit more for them to come together than in Zane's book . I truly like this series and so want to read Ridge's book .

                           MY REVIEW

He is such a good guy with a sense of nobility and strength that will have you swooning . Calista is a woman that is shrouded in secrets and is running from her past . She is more than just a pretty woman . They are such strong characters and they fit together so well . They compliment each other very well . We also get to meet Ridge the alpha and older brother and Cole the enforcer and the youngest. Each character is well written and has a strength that will have you reading all night. 

    I truly enjoyed this story, the author takes you on a ride. You get to see the way the couple comes together and find each other through some pretty tough odds .  The author has faes and wolves in this story and you get to see them in other realms . This is a fun read and you won't be able to put it down. So check it out .

GOOD EVENING ALL

  Good evening peeps , yes I am back for another book from reader round up. I have book two in the Burnt Ends series . GRILLED CORRUPTION by Erica J Whelton 


                          BOOK BLURB



 When the competition is rigged, everyone’s a target.

Jackie and Lauren thought running their inherited barbecue restaurant was the hardest challenge they'd face. They were wrong.
When respected competition judge Tex Morrison dies from poisoning at the Prairie Rose Barbecue Championship, the sisters find themselves prime suspects in a murder investigation. Determined to clear their names and honor their friend's memory, they begin their own investigation, only to uncover a conspiracy that reaches far beyond a single death.
What starts as a quest for justice reveals a massive criminal organization that has been systematically corrupting barbecue competitions across multiple states. With the help of Jackie's brilliant niece Melody and their growing ally Sheriff Martinez, they discover that Tex wasn't just a victim, he was an FBI informant gathering evidence against a network involving illegal gambling, money laundering, and competition manipulation worth millions of dollars.
But when the FBI reveals that Tex was continuing an investigation started by his murdered brother, the stakes become personal. The criminal masterminds behind the corruption have killed before to protect their empire, and they won't hesitate to eliminate three women who've stumbled onto their biggest secret.
As the sisters navigate federal investigations, legal intimidation, and escalating threats, they must decide how far they're willing to go for the truth. Because in a world where competition results are bought and sold, and where asking the wrong questions can be fatal, some corruption runs too deep to escape.
Someone seeks justice. Someone demands silence. They're all running out of time.

                       MY REVIEW  
   Welcome back to Prairie Rose Texas where the barbecue is good and the friendships are even better.  Jackie and Lauren and heading to a barbecue challenge. Where they are pitted against other barbecue joints around . But when someone dies at the challenge the FBI shows up and lets everyone know that Tex is still investigating the murder of his brother. And they won't stop at eliminating the three woman who stumbled into their biggest secret. Everyone is running out of time to figure out who done it . 

   The ladies are back and funnier than ever. Both Lauren and Jackie have improved the restaurant and themselves . They are really taking the barbecuing to a new level and are ready to do almost anything to have fun at it . Melody is expanding her horizons and doing great . She has a friend Aidean that is the way she is and they are so cute together. They are growing as characters and they are so much fun to read. 

   This is one of those books that is such a fun read . The characters are getting more complex . The author is having fun writing this series . I am really liking this series . I love the cozy mystery aspect of the story the author really loves to throw us so many red herrings and the twists and turns will keep you reading all night . Check out this series .
