GOOD AFTERNOON PEEPS BACK WITH ANOTHER BOOK

   Good afternoon my peeps, yes I am back with another book for reader round up. ICE IN THE BAYOU A Bayou kings  hockey novel by Angel Nyx 


                           BOOK BLURB 



 Lucca Calvaricci

What do you do when your dreams go to Hell in a handbasket? You find a new dream.                                    At least, that's what I did. It just took me a decade to do it.
See, once upon a time, I was flying high on the ice until an accident destroyed my hopes of going pro. Now, I want to start my own team, but to win over the league, I need the best in the PR business.
Enter Maxine Andrews. She's sexy, sassy, and loves a challenge. This little spitfire keeps me on my toes, and I want to make her mine.

Maxine Andrews

I'm the best sports PR rep at Capital Time Media, and one of the best in the entire country. That's not pride, it's just a fact. When my boss informed me Lucca Calvaricci from Calvaricci Enterprises wanted to meet with me, I was intrigued. His company was into everything from real estate, to big pharma, and even cybernetics. What did he need me for?
Color me surprised when he told me he wanted to start his own professional hockey team and wanted me to pitch it. This was definitely a challenge I couldn't back down from.
The only problem? The man was sex on a stick and I'd sworn off all men-excluding my son.

And yet, somehow he gets through all of my walls. But can I really trust him with my heart?

                     MY REVIEW 
 
      Lucca Calvaricci was on his way to the NHL until the day an accident took his chances away. He worked his way up in the real estate game and learnt from his father and became a magnat. Until the day he decides he wants to start his own NHL hockey team someplace warm. Maxine Andrews walks in the best pr pitch woman out there. When they work together to get the team going but things get more when they start to fall for each other. Will they be able to keep it professional for the sake of the team or will love triumph
  Lucca is well he is walking sex on a stick and he knows it . He knows how to get what he wants and works hard at the same time. He has his best friends that are there for him. There is something missing though in his life. . Enter Maxine a pr rep that is the best in the business. She is self assured and man she knows her job. She is a gorgeous woman who has had trauma in her life and has sworn off men all except for her little son. She has a sadness to her that you can see in her eyes, Their friends are a fun group that will do anything for them . Each character is well written and you really like them , Just wish they were a little bit more complex as the story went on.
     This is a fun story that is all about hockey players and the loves that are coming into their lives . You can finish it in an afternoon the author writes a fun fueled story but I do wish that it was just a little more , it kind of got a little overused the word doll. He always called her doll and it just got repetitive . Over all I did like this story and liked reading it. So if you want a hot men on the way to making their futures amazing on and off the ice check it out

GOOD MORNING FROM READER ROUND UP

 Good rainy morning my peeps , its a great day to curl up and read here on the farm yes it is raining yet again. Today I have for you another book from one of my favorite authors R.L Merrill and her book PINUPS AND PUPPIES .


                            BOOK BLURB



Marianne Cross has lived a life of structure and purpose for the past twenty-four years. Now reluctantly retired from the Air Force, her life is missing those two things that have always defined her. As she struggles to decide where her future lies, she finds peace and solitude flying her vintage airplane. When an opportunity with the organization Pawsitive Flight comes along, allowing her to combine flying with a purpose, she’s interested in the possibilities—especially those concerning the owner of Goth Dog Rescue, Dinah Shaw. She’s tough, beautiful, and she makes Marianne want things she hasn’t allowed herself to want in a long time.

Dinah Shaw is happy with her life’s mission, connecting needy pups with families that will love them. It’s hard but fulfilling work that completely satisfies her—until she meets Marianne Cross. Part of Dinah is more than ready to hop in the jump seat and show the shy pilot a good time, but the other part isn’t interested in another woman who’s just passing through, looking for Ms. Right-For-Now. She’s been there and done that. Until she discovers what she wants to do with her life, Marianne is a possible flight risk Dinah can’t afford to trust.

Flying rescue dogs to their furever homes may give Marianne new purpose, and even a home of her own in the process…if Dinah can risk her heart on a little fly-by-night romance.



                        MY REVIEW 

 When retired air force pilot Marianne is asked by her niece to fly a mother dog and her puppies to the Gothic dog rescue. She decides to help out but what she didn't know is that she was going to meet a dynamo named Dinah who might just help heal the wounds of the past and give Marianne the future she wants and needs . 


 Ok lets talk dog rescues and pin up girls. Marianne is by the books , following orders from her commanding officers. She likes structure and is still trying to decide what to do with her life after her retirement. She needs fun in her life and Dinah might be the one to do it. Dinah is well lets call her a free spirit ,loves dogs and rockabilly style. She is well you can call her a pin up girl but there is a sadness to her that she hides pretty well. They both don't want to get hurt again so they both say the wrong thing at different times . I truly like both of these characters they are perfectly flawed but trying to heal from the past that hurt them. I love how they are total opposites of each other but they are more a like then they realize. 


   This is a fun read from the author. She takes such a sweet story and adds a twist to it that had me finishing the book in an evening . It is a f/f story and the main characters are well written . I do wish it was a little longer cause I really wanted to see where these two would end up . Over all I truly liked this story and love reading this author. A good read for your pool side reads this summer .

                         MY REVIEW                          MY REVIEW 


 This a cute series of books that follows a young boy on his adventures . After waking from a dream John's toys started coming to life to help him . They help him solve a mystery and befriend people that really need friending . Each story is sweet 

  The main character John is a sweet kid who likes school and wants to help out . When he has a dream from an angel his most loved toy comes to life and helps out with mysteries and helps John make friends with those who need .  This story is sweet and funny. We get to follow John and his adventures 

  Book 2 We get to see John and Supreme man befriend someone who needs someone that will hang out with him and not make fun of him. John steps up with the help of Supreme man to stop the bully that is bugging Timothy. This is one of the those stories that need to be read more about helping out and putting a bully in his place when they are harassing someone that is different . 

 Book 3 In this story we have John going on another adventure but he has to do it on his own when his toy doesn't come back to life. We get to see John grow up a bit in this book and using his own brain to figure out what he should do. 

Book 4 we get to see John help out a neighbor who is hunting for something special to her.  He learns that he is more of a help than he thought when he helps out . 

   This is a boxed set that is geared to boys and they will love it . it has super heroes and mysteries to solve . I am thinking of getting this series for my great nephew . It is a read that will have them captivated and cheering through out .  So if you have a son or daughter this would be a fun read for them. Check it out
