GOOD SATURDAY ALL

  Good Saturday all . WOOHOOOOO its long weekend up here in Canada . I will be reading all weekend . Today I am going to review DREAMSHORES by Mike Robinson

                            BOOK BLURB 

  

Restless and fire-hearted, ten-year-old Sierra Nevada Smith was always chasing monsters, whether through the pages of her favorite books or in the woods behind the secluded California town where she grew up. Fantastic new worlds opened for her, however, when, after a near-tragedy, she discovered the films of legendary stop-motion animator Russell Boylan.

Ten years later, she finds herself working aboard a yacht, adrift at sea and in life, her peers nicknaming her the ‘Monster Girl’: a sad consolation for her own stunted career as a stop-motion animator in this era of computer-generated effects. When their boat is mysteriously pulled through a corridor of fog, the crew finds themselves deposited on the shores of an extraordinary island, a place where the stomping, roaring, clambering dinosaurs and creatures of Russell Boylan’s classic films have been relegated to live beyond script or screen, and to evolve.

And it is here that Sierra discovers not only an incredible power, but what may be her purpose.

                     MY REVIEW 

 This is a strange story in a very good way . The story starts with a ten year old Sierra a girl who chases monsters either in books or in the movies of her all time favourite film maker Russel Boylen . A stop motion animator . Jump ahead ten years and Sierra is all grown up and working on a yacht and nicknamed the monster girl by all her friends and work mates . When they end up on an island where all Russel's monsters are alive and evolving . She finds out her purpose in life and what she is meant to do . 

   This is a book that has a vibe of all old time horror movies . The characters are well written . Sierra is a young woman that is obsessed with all things monster related .  She knows everything about the monsters of Russel Boylen.  She is a spitfire and she thinks she can do what ever she wants .  She is loyal to her friends especially KB. Now KB is a sweet guy that would do anything for Sierra . He tries to protect her and they have such a special bond . They are great together as friends . Now the real star of the show is the island . It is ever changing and evolving keeping everyone including Sierra on their toes . 

   This book is like a combination of land of the lost and every monster movie you have seen . The author takes us on an adventure full of monsters and a brave girl that will stop them . It read like a graphic novel you can just imagine what is going on and painting a picture as you go along . There was just a few spots that I was tripping over when it got just a little too technical in the wording . Another spot was the ending I would love to have seen how they survived after the island . It just kind of stopped with them on the island . Over all I really enjoyed this story and the premise was very intriguing . I could really see this one as a graphic novel . So if you want to take a chance on monsters and islands in the middle of nowhere check it out you will not be disappointed .

GOOD FRIDAY ALL

WOOOHOOOO it is Friday and a long weekend here in Canada . Today we are going to review Theresa Sederholt's  new book IT WILL ALWAYS BE US ( A  Fitz series book 3 )

                           BOOK BLURB 

Bailey Davis is doing everything right. At least, that’s what she thinks until she is blind-sided by the ultimate betrayal. She needs the truth; she needs Fitz.

Retired detective turned private investigator, Fitzgerald Rodriguez, loves his life. He’s living his dream, a dream he never thought possible. When a friend tells him Bailey’s story, his need to help those who can’t help themselves kicks into high gear.

It’s been said that only the strong survive. Now the question is, will Fitz be strong enough? Could this be the case that costs him everything?

If you were given the opportunity to ask why certain events happened in your life, would you want to know the truth? Even if you thought it was your fault?

How far would you go to help a friend? For Fitz, his friends are his family of choice. He would, without question, walk through hell to help them.

 

                    MY REVIEW 

   This is the third book in the Fitz series and I must say I think it blows the other two books out of the water . Fitz and the family are back and this time they are trying save one of their own after a case takes them to the edge and back. When Bailey is trying to come to terms with her husbands death , she finds something that leads her and her children into danger . She needs help to figure out what is going on and why is everyone lying to her . Enter Fitz and his team to figure it all out . But will they get it all figured out before its too late . 

   This story has it all , intrigue, mystery and yes romance . The characters just keep getting better and more complex. Fitz is more laid back and happy in this book . He has his friends and his MJ and his family . But when push comes to shove he is there for anyone that needs him.  I really like him, he is the type of guy that will love and protect you . MJ is back and still is as sweet as can be she helps keep him sane and safe . We find out more about some of the rest of the crew , we find more out about Gail and the rest of the guys . Bailey is such a complex character. She has gone through so much but she is also very strong for all that she is going through. I truly like all these characters, they are like part of the family . 

  I can't believe I sat down and read this book in a day . I couldn't get enough the author had me on the edge of me seat the whole way through . There were a couple of times I had tears in my eyes . Especially towards the end . I am not going to tell you what happens but trust me you will have tears in your eyes . You could read this book as a stand alone but if you want to get to know the characters better you should read the first two books in the series . I really hope the author continues to write this series . I am sure Fitz can get into more trouble if he tries hard enough . lol .  So if you want a great read for you summer reading list check out this series . You will not be disappointed.

   Good Wednesday all , almost to the weekend wooohoooo . Today we are going to review P.I I LOVE YOU (Miss Demeanor P.I book one ) by Joanne Jaytanie .

                            BOOK BLURB 

Rivers don’t let rocks hold them back.

River Nightingale has decided to blow past the rocky men in her life. She’s played by the rules for too long—especially when it came to her career as a cop. She was the top closer of cases for years, but promotions in her small town cop shop went to her less productive male counterparts. River decides it’s time to change careers. She leaves her small town to purchase a Seattle private detective agency and become her own boss.

Homicide Detective Gage Hamlin takes pride in his job; he closes cases and fosters justice. All that changed the day River Nightingale sauntered into his office. River has him questioning his pride, his cases, and his aversion to private detectives, especially beautiful private detectives.

River’s client thinks Gage got it wrong, and River is forced to prove Gage missed a murder. Will River and Gage find a way to play nice, or will River be forced to leave Gage behind?

                       MY REVIEW 

 

     This was a really fun read for me . I love books with strong female characters and this book has actually 4 of them . Let me introduce you to the ladies of Misdeamor P.I detective agency. River Nightingale is one tough cookie, she became a cop in a small town Montanna . She has solved more cases then the males but isn't going anywhere . Until the trip to Seattle with her best friends who are also cops and are in the same boat . They are working hard and when a case brings River to Gage Hamlin's door more then cases are being closed sparks are flying . But really not in the good way sometimes . Will they crack the case and more important will they come together and play nice . 

   The characters in this book  are absolutely adorable . They are well written and they both have a spunk that will keep you reading . River is a take no prisoners type of woman . She is tired of the men being promoted well just cause they are well men . She is fun but also very work oriented but is also hurt and tired of men taking and not giving . She is a go getter and will take no prisoners . Gage well he is a man , a sexy man who is also a cop . River and Gage bicker and fight like a married couple . They seem to be like oil and water . He just doesn't know what to think of her . Until she gets hurt and things change .  They are great together and are such a sweet couple . I loved them and I loved the ribbing the other girls gave them . 

   This was a great read , I read it out on the patio in an afternoon.  The story is a fun read with some great characters . The author will keep you on your toes and throws some twists at you . The only thing that I had a little bit of trouble with in this book I kind of had who the killer was pretty fast . Other then that I really enjoyed the journey to see if I was right .  I wish there was more interaction and sparring between Gage and River . Because I loved what they did have . Over all I really enjoyed this book and this author's writing style . I am so going to get the rest of the series . I want to see what happens with the rest of the girls . So if you want a great novella for the pool this summer check them out .

HAPPY TUESDAY ALL

 Good Tuesday all , I hope your week is going well . Today we have a sweet novella CHRISTMAS SPIRITS  by Eva Moore .

                           BOOK BLURB 

  

Army medic Brandy Henderson has spent her entire adult life helping others. Now, she's come home to Silicon Valley to help take care of her family. Working as a barista and bartender during the busy holidays leaves little time for a social life and even less time to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. When fellow veteran and notorious flirt Seth Valenti shows up for coffee, attraction begins brewing on both sides. Brandy tries to make room for one more person in her already hectic life, but soon she begins to question if she’s stretched too thin between desire and obligations.

Seth has returned home to a family he’s failed. Guilt weighs heavily on his shoulders along with the responsibilities of running the family construction business and an inheritance he no longer deserves or desires. Brandy brings laughter and joy in an otherwise bleak holiday season, but the new romance strains his commitments to his family and widens the rift.

As complications arise, Seth must convince himself and Brandy he’s worth her time, and Brandy must learn to respect her own limits and needs before she can best help those around her. When tragedy strikes, their tenuous bond will be tested. True love and lives hang in the balance, but tis the season for Christmas miracles.

                        MY REVIEW 

     Ok I know its a novella about Christmas but I will say this little book packs a punch . Brandy is a veteran who is stressed to the max between family obligations and working 2 jobs. She has no time for fun or heaven forbid a boyfriend . Enter Seth a ghost from her past in the military .  They both feel like they have failed in some way or another. They have to comet to the realization that they need to forgive and realize that they are meant to be together . All they need is a Christmas miracle. 

  This is a fun little read the characters are well written . Brandy starts off being a bit grumpy and a little stressed . She is taking on so much, you kind of just want to wrap her up in a big ole blanket and hug her. As you read you actually see how strong she is and you also see her faults and why she is beating herself up over and over again . Now Seth is sweet and sexy and a fun guy to be around . He is actually a really calming effect on Brandy  Both characters are flawed and are hiding failings but together they can over come the tragedies that have happened . 

   This is a sweet novella that you can read in an evening . The author takes us on a roller coaster ride of emotion. The characters were complex and we get to see how they handle life after the military .  There is also a little bit of its a wonderful life sprinkled in the book . There is a tragedy at the end that will have you crying . But I will say this you will love the ending . I enjoyed this book and if you want a book that will have you on the edge of your seat . Check it out . I would add this book to your summer reading list. This would be a great book to read by the pool .

GOOD MONDAY ALL

 Welcome to Monday all , yes I know its only Monday but its summer and summer is a great time to find a sweet little novella that you can read by the pool . LOVE'S ALWAYS PAWS ABLE by Joanne Jaytanie .


                             BOOK BLURB 

 

Second chances at life, love, and a forever home don’t come every day.

Faith Daniels leaves a successful Silicon Valley career to follow her life’s dream. She moves to Cedar Grove and builds a foster home for unwanted and abused dogs. Faith believes dogs possess the ability to love even after being abandoned. Abandoned by her fiancé and friends, Faith wishes she could learn to love and trust again.

Tanner Keen leaves behind the stress of his multi-million-dollar advertising firm to save his life. He needs peace and quiet. So when a friend asks him to help a small town animal shelter, the opportunity seems perfect.

But all is not peaceful at the shelter in Cedar Grove. Can Faith and Tanner discover the deceit in others and still find trust in each other?

Love’s always paws-able.

                             MY REVIEW

 

 This is such a sweet novella . It has one of my favourite things in the world . Rescue dogs and second chance at love. Meet Faith Daniels and Tanner Keen, two people that have had their fill of the hustle and bustle of the corporate world. They find each other at a dog rescue where they become friends . But there is something devious going on at the shelter . Will they be able to save the shelter and trust enough in each other to find out their love for each other and save the shelter . 

  This is a sweet read , the characters are well written and you will fall in love with them. Faith is the woman I want to be when I grow up . She is sweet and vulnerable and loves dogs sooo much . She is a strong woman who has been hurt by her ex fiancé and her family . She worked at a job that changed her . But when we see her with her dogs and the foster dogs . We see a sweet loving woman who only wants to find great homes for abandoned dogs . Tanner is running the shelter for a short time after he had his heart attack . We have a sweet man that wants to help out where he can . He is attracted to Faith but they both just need a push to take the next step . I must say though the stars of the book are the dogs  especially Misty and Zaron two Doberman that are so sweet in the scenes they are in . 

  This book is a sweet read . I loved every page of it . There are dogs ,intrigue and a little bit of falling in love in the process. It also shows that you can follow your dreams and make a difference in someone's life . I just wish that the story was a little longer , I didn't want this book to end . I read this book in an evening and loved every page of it . So add this novella to your summer reading list . You will fall in love .

GOOD SUNDAY ALL

  Good Sunday all today we are going to review an new author J.L Weil and her book FIRST SHIFT  (Kitsune and Shaman ) book one

                            BOOK BLURB 

   

Being human is only an illusion.

In the shadows outside Sugar and Spice café, my life changes forever.

From the darkness, a mysterious stranger emerges. Coincidence? Not for him. Devyn St. Cyr reveals a startling truth about me—I’m a Kitsune. A what? My thought exactly. Turns out I’m a shape shifting fox with the ability to have extraordinary powers. Powers that make me a hot target for every ambitious otherworldly creature.

Thrust into the middle of a royal battle for a crown I wasn’t sure I wanted, I must do what no other Kitsune in a century has accomplished. Acquire nine tails and the power that comes with them. Or the fate of two worlds will crumble. No biggie.

Fans of Twilight, A Shade of Vampire, and Fallen will fall in love with First Shift, a short novel series.

                     MY REVIEW 

      This is a very interesting book , it isn't your usual shifter book . We are talking Japanese anime here . I was really blown away with this book .  Karina's life changes one night behind the coffee shop she works at . When two things come after her and want her soul . Enter Devyn St Cyr .wielding swords with snakes attached as he sends the two back to the other world . Well that is when Karina's life changes she shifts and finds out that she is a kitsune and with the help of Devyn who is sworn to protect her . She is thrown into a battle that she doesn't know if she actually wants and a crown she doesn't want to wear . Will she be able to collect the 9 tails and save both worlds from crumbling down around her. 

    This was an interesting book . The characters were well written . Karina at first struck me as really naïve . She needed to grow up just a little . She also seemed like a people pleaser she did everything for everyone else but nothing for herself . But as you read the book you really see her grow up and become a great heroine . Devyn is sexy and really kind of bossy sometimes . He knows his way around with swords and can kill almost anything . He is good for Karina and knows how to reign in her kitsune . They are good together 

    When I started reading this book , I will admit I thought it was a normal every day shifter book . I had to look up what a kitsune is . But when I got into the book I couldn't put it down .  There were just a couple of spots where the author could of done a little bit better editing . A couple of missed words and words that didn't sound right . There is also a big cliff hanger at the end . I did really enjoy this book and loved the characters and the back stories . I can't wait till I dive into book two and see where Devyn and Karina end up going . If you want a different type of shifter and some Japanese legend check it out . You won't be disappointed .

Happy Saturday all

  Good Saturday morning all , today I have a new book by Robyn Peterman. TALLULAHS TEMPTATIONS (Sea Shenanigans book one )

                           BOOK BLURB 

 

Pirate Doug

What in the Chicken of the Sea was I thinking to agree to this half arsed Otherworld Defense Agency mission?

I’m the most absurdly good looking Vampire Pirate of the High Seas. Being on the run for my life is very important work… and a freaking full time job. Defending Mermaids from some vicious Sea Hags is going to cut into my pilfering time.

Unacceptable.

Even though this is a very bad move on my part, I know I’ll eventually agree—too many bounties on my arse to refuse, and the thought of a certain Mermaid makes my roger quite jolly.

However, Tallulah, the leader of the Mystical Isle Pod of Mermaids, isn’t going to be happy to see me… at all. The horrible, sexy, breathtaking woman has been starring in my dreams for too many years to count. Sadly, just when my mind wanders to the really good nookie part, the dream ends with her lopping my Johnson off.

I just hope to Hell and back that the Sea Hags have some outstanding booty to steal. If I’m going to have to regrow my tallywhacker, the treasure had better damned well be worth it.

Tallulah
Running a tourist trap for humans in the Bermuda Triangle had sounded like a fine plan—until it wasn’t. With the Sea Hags gunning for our island and ruining our questionably successful business, I did what any desperate Mermaid would do. I called for backup.

Of course, getting help from the Otherworld Defense Agency is risky as they don’t usually deal with ocean creatures. Whatever. Desperate times call for crappy measures. Chances are they’ll send freaking Pirates. I hate Pirates…

Well, I hate one Pirate in particular.

Hopefully, it won’t be the one seafaring jackhole I despise more than any other. Pirate Doug would be an idiot to show his face here after what he’d done. Not only did the dumbass abscond with our treasure, the son-of-a-bitch took my heart with him as well.

I’ll tear his sorry ass to shreds if he so much as steps even one hairy toe on my island.

                      MY REVIEW 

   Welcome to the middle of the Bermuda island and the Mystical island pod of mermaids . Tallulah and her mermaid sisters are trying to stop a sea hag invasion . When she sends out an sos to the OTHER WORLD DEFENSE AGENCY for help . And who do they send but the randiest pirate out there and Tallulah's ex .  Will they survive the sea hags and will they actually survive each other . 

  This is a funny new series that I fell in love with . I have never laughed so hard in my life . Pirate Doug is hilarious  a vampire pirate , he is foul mouthed and always has sex on his mind .  He is so fun to read , you just either want to sex him up or slap him upside the head with some of the stuff that he comes up with .  Tallulah well she is one fierce mermaid . She is a fighter and is sexy as any mermaid is . When they are together , funny ensues . They know they belong together but they have a fun way of getting there . Poseidon  makes an appearance in the book . Man he is one drunk fool who loves to mess with his children . I think my favourite character in the book is Polly the offensive parrot . She is more then what she seems . The way she harasses poor Doug is hilarious . She is a poop machine and always aims for Doug in some way . She was a hoot .

  This is a laugh out loud book . The author takes us on a fun filled ride . Her characters are well written and you will fall in love with them . I am pretty sure that Pirate Doug is the cousin of Pirate Dave one of the authors other book . I laughed so hard through out the book I actually snorted a few times .  These books will be an automatic one click . So if you want to add a funny sexy read this summer . Add this book to your summer reading list . You will not be disappointed .

  Welcome to the first Friday of summer . I hope that everyone is diving into your summer reading list . Today we are going to review a new author to me Tonya Cannariato and her book DEMENTIONAL

                             BOOK BLURB

  Mark Inman has two loves: particle physics and Sarah. She agrees to become his wife at the same time his experiment to find the Higgs boson goes off the rails. Journey with Mark while his existence melts and reforms in unpredictable ways as the veils between realities thin. His exploration of the minutiae of quantum physics builds a fascinating tapestry of alternate universes. His search for survival, and the search for meaning and what is real, drive Mark as he experiences lives he never dreamed possible. His only touchstones: find Sarah and find his way home.

                          MY REVIEW 

   This is a really interesting story, it is a romance and a sci fi book all in one . Mark has two loves particle physics and his beautiful bride Sarah . He has the best of both worlds . He has his love and his science . Until the moment his experiments goes incredibly wrong . He is transported through different universes . Will he ever get back home to the woman he loves . 
  This book had me intrigued when I sat down to read . The characters are well written . Mark is a character that goes through so much . He is transported to other universes where he finds that universes Sarah and falls in love over and over . He actually learns a lot when he goes through each universe . Which I think helps him become a better man. Sarah is a sweet character in every form she takes on. 
  This book is full of twists and turns . You start to think about things like does alternate universes exist and will a version of you and the ones you love be there . This book will satisfy your romantic side and your geeky science side too . You are taken on an adventure of epic proportions  . I truly enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down . So if you like romance mixed with some sci fi check it out .

GOOD THURSDAY ALL

  Good Thursday all . Today I have a new author for you all to check out . Mike Robinson and his book THE PRINCE OF EARTH


                           BOOK BLURB 

Praise for Mike Robinson:

"This novel is as good as any you're going to find, a page-turner, an electron burner... I'm going to go back and read the book again, just to enjoy every nuance of Mike Robinson's excellent writing." ~Review of The Green-Eyed Monster, by Mike Robinson

About "The Prince of Earth":

It had come back.
It had come back and it was stronger.
It’s been twenty years. Not again. Not now.
Not anytime.

In 1988, young American traveler Quincy Redding is trekking across the misty terrain of the Scottish Highlands. She is destined for the infamous peak Ben MacDui, the summit of which soon finds her inexplicably debilitated and at the mercy of a malevolent entity.

The book spans twenty years, alternately following Quincy in her 1988 ordeal in Scotland as well as Quincy in 2008, when, as an adult, she begins experiencing abnormalities that threaten her family and her life – phenomena that may be related to what happened all those years ago.

As both older and younger Quincy learn more of their situation, and as their worlds further entwine, she becomes increasingly uncertain of the perceived temporality or reality of each period.

Be sure to check out Mike Robinson's other titles:
- The Green-Eyed Monster
- Skunk Ape Semester

                        MY REVIEW 

  This is the first book I have by this author and I must say it was a page turner . I had to find out what was going on . Let me introduce you to Quincy a young woman who in 1988 suffered a serious trauma while in Scotland .  The book spans twenty years of Quincy's life . She is trying to figure out what is going on . What is happening to her and her family and is it connected to what happened on the mountain in Scotland so many years ago . 

   This book is such a complex book Quincy is such a complex character . When we see her in 1988. She is care free and taking the world by the horns . When we see her in 2008 she is really kind of a shell of what she was 20 year early . She is a married woman with a son and a very stressful job. So when we see her starting to go through the abnormal things at the beginning of the book we just say its the stress of her job . She is just stressed out . But how things change as we see she is caught between her life and the memories of what happened 20 years earlier . 

  This book is not a fairytale , there is no prince to rescue the damsel in distress. This is a on the edge of your seat read that will keep you reading . I read this book in an evening I was totally engrossed. I had to figure out what the heck was going on . I liked that the author had both 1988 and 2008 in each chapter . I really kept us on our toes .  There were twists and turns all the way through out the story . There were just a couple of times I had to go back and reread a paragraph because I was confused . Over all I truly enjoyed this book and will be looking into more books by this author. So if you want a book that will keep you reading and go wow at the ending check it out .

  Good Wednesday all today we are going to review a novella by Mathew Cox . SOPHIE'S LIGHT ''

                            BOOK BLURB

  

Sophie lives in a most peculiar cottage at the center of the Forgotten Forest, its inside much larger than its outside.

You see, the house must be large, for it holds a great troll as well as a little girl. As one might expect, working for such a creature is rather frightening to a seven-year-old, but the endless expanse of black trees outside is even scarier.

She’s afraid to make even the slightest sound, for the troll abhors loud children.

He’s not terribly fond of quiet children either―unless they’re in his stew.

Sophie’s precious light offers comfort in her darkest moments. She can’t remember where it came from, but it’s her only source of hope holding back the gloom that yearns to devour her soul. Trolls are covetous beasts, and when he spots her shiny bauble and steals it, Sophie faces two terrible options:

Stay and suffer the wrath of a furious troll, or take her chances in a forest of her deepest fears.

                     MY REVIEW 

   This book was one book that I just couldn't put down . I actually read it in one sitting this morning . The author really takes us on an emotional journey in this book . Let me introduce you to Sophie a sweet young girl who is living with a troll. She is basically his slave, the troll hates her and really just wants to bake her in a pie . But she has a secret a light that helps her  Until the day her light goes missing and she goes after it fighting the bogey and the goblins to find her way home 

   The characters are so well written and so complex . You really want to just keep Sophie in a nice soft bubble and help her get out of the Troll's way . You do feel like she can make it out and on her own as you read . You see her in a way that will make your heart swell and have tears in your eyes . The troll is the epitome of evil . You really want to stab him over and over . You can't help but hate him . 

  This book had me tearing up from the very first page . The things this author puts this young girl through is so horrible . I just about had to put the book down and walk away for a few mins . I knew there had to be more to the story then just a young girl and a troll and man I was right . The author takes us on an emotional rollercoaster ride . The twist at the end was unbelievable . I am not going to tell you but you will cry tears of joy at the end of the book and everything will make sense . I must admit this book is addictive and I had it read in a morning. If you want to add a great suspenseful book add this one to your summer reading list

Gavin Thompson is the best at what he does, and when his security company is hired to protect a dance instructor, he thinks it's business as usual. But no one warned him being with Tera would blur the lines between personal and professional interests. What started out as a job might be his only chance at a future he never dreamed possible.

They just need to live to see it 

The Prophecy - "Every generation the nine daughters of Zeus are reborn, and with their rebirth are also nine Guardians. They will be marked by the gods, and given gifts to protect his treasure. Their abilities will only be unlocked when they find their muse."

                        MY REVIEW 

  

     This is the sixth book in the series and I feel they just keep getting better . Tera is a dance instructor who is also has the muse of dance . When she is threatened and on the top of a hit list . She has to do something  so she hires a bodyguard . Gavin Thompson who really is good at his job but when he meets Tera all things are thrown out the window and love blossoms.

   I simply adore this series, the characters are so well written and complex. I love Tera she is so sweet and tough . But she is also plagued with really bad anxiety issues  . When you first see her you so just want to wrap her up in a warm blanket and hug her tight . Telling her that everything will be ok . But as you read you see her really grow and become the woman that we all knew she could be . She is tougher then she really thinks she is . Especially when she stands up to her mom.  We so understand why she is the way she is when we meet mommy dearest . Gavin is hot and sexy and good at his job. When you see him with Tera we see a man that is totally smitten but is scared that if he doesn't do his job she could loose her life . They naturally fit together and its such a fun time reading them . We get to see Kronus in this episode also . He is really trying to get a Zeus and will do anything to get his attention. He is evil and I loved him . 

   This is such a fun read the author uses the back ground of dance for these characters to fall in love . She does such a good job with all the dance set up . The dance between Tera and Gavin is so sexy it will melt your kindle . There is romance and danger in this book that will keep you reading. I truly enjoyed this book and this series . I can't wait for the next book to come out . So if you want a great book for your summer reading list .Check out this series . You will want to dance .
