TIME TO BRING IN SOME ALASKA HEAT

Good morning all , I know we are having a heat wave around here this summer but I am here to bring you some sexy Alaskan shifters and a snow storm in MIDNIGHT STORM ( Alaska Alphas  book 5 ) by Boone Brux 

                    BOOK BLURB

  Most days, wolf Shifter, Skye Seward would rather have her head in the air than her feet on the ground. When a snowstorm forces her to land her plane, she finds herself seeking shelter at the lodge owned by her childhood rival, raven Shifter North Johnson. Though they usually can’t be in the same room for five minutes before they start to bicker, her wolf seems hell bent on following him around like a love-sick-puppy.
  
When Sky shows up in the middle of a blizzard, North isn’t surprised. All her life she’s been wild, but this time her recklessness almost got her killed. Normally, he’d scold her, but what he really wants to do is pull her close and kiss her. With the storm raging, the lodge becomes a haven for stranded travelers, all of them unpleasant, and some more dangerous than the others. As the storm and his feelings for Skye ramp up, he’s not sure what's more dangerous, the threat lurking among the visitors or his burning need to mark Skye as his.

Welcome to the world of Aurora Shifters, where magic comes to life beneath the northern lights, and the wilderness isn't the only place to find fur and fangs.


                 MY REVIEW
  When Sky has to land her plane in the middle of a snow storm , North's lodge is the only place she has to go to get out of the blizzard . She and North have known each other since they were kids and they fought each other every day since then . Unbeknownst to them this night will bring more supernaturals to their door a mystery attacker and the realization that there is more to Skye and North then just being friends . 

  Ok I have been waiting for book two I really wanted to know what was behind the grumpiness of North since we were introduced to him in book one . He is the middle child and trust me it seems like he has the chip the size of a red wood on his shoulder. There is more to him then his surly personality lets on . He is actually a really sweet guy who would do anything to protect his friends and family . He is tall and sexy and also a really cool shifter I mean who knew that raven shifters could be so sexy. Skye is feisty with an attitude that could knock you over especially when it comes to North . They say opposites attract and boy do they attract . I really love these two , they are such a fun couple and they will do what it takes to keep each other safe .  We also have a group of vampires that stop in and some Eagle shifters that just add to the intrigue of the book . Sabine and Aisling are so sweet as a couple .

   This is a book that you can read in an afternoon its a nice fun fast read . The author takes us on a fun filled ride . The characters are so much fun to read and they are so well written . You will love them . Who know that a blizzard could be so sexy , trust me in this book you will find out how sexy it can be . There is also a little bit of a mystery that goes on in too .  So if you want a fun read for the beach check it out it can be read as a stand alone but if you want to find out more you can read the whole series and get on with your Alaskan nights . So meet the men and the woman who will take them and tame them .

WELL ITS A HOT HOT WEDNESDAY

 Good day all , I really hope that you are cool where you are . My house is like a meat locker and loving it . So today I have a long awaited book by one of my favourite authors . BEAUTIFULLY BARE ( The Butterfly House novella ) by Lori Meckley


                            BOOK BLURB 

   Before The Words
My name is Cheyenne Taylor. I have a very good life and in 10 days I say the words "I do" to the most amazing man Miles Drake. Cameron Haze our lover will be present...

But...
Only his smile makes my heart beat faster. Only his lips make mine quiver. Deep in my soul I want to know he feels the same as I do.

If only...
You all know this part of the ceremony...
If any man can show just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace.  Will the truth tear us all apart if I allow my heart to speak or shall it forever stay silent?

This is the conclusion to "We Could Be Lovers"

                      MY REVIEW 
   What is a girl going to do Cheyenne's wedding is coming up fast and Miles and Cameron are on her mind and in her heart . One will be her husband and one will be their secret lover .Until the moment that she has her doubts and when Harper Cahill walked into her life . A co worker and self appointed pain in her back side . One night might bring them the solution to all their problems or might send the man of her dreams into a jealous rage . Will they all be able to live happily ever after or will the  want of a normal life destroy them all . 

  I absolutely adore all the characters in this book . Cheyenne is a wild child who really doesn't care who is talking about them. But she is also very sad and wants to keep everyone happy . She is scared that she won't be able to handle married life . Miles well he is just one alpha male that oozes sexiness . He also is being torn in so many different directions . He love Cheyenne and he love Cameron but he knows that his life is under such a microscope he has trouble . There are moments you want to smack him cause he is being so domineering . You will love him and hate him . Now Harper is the new guy on the scene . He comes off as one arrogant sob that you want to punch over and over . But when you get to know him , he has a squishy inside that is sweet and kind . Cheyenne needs him in her life . He balances all of them out . 

  This book is the conclusion of We Could Be Lovers and it really wraps up the story nicely . The author brings us to the edge of our seats and wanting more . The characters are well written and you will love them and also want to slap a few of them upside the head . Trust me Miles needs a good frying pan to the head . lol . This book had me turning pages well into the night I couldn't get enough of each character . The rest of the Butterfly house is also back and there is a new little bundle of joy for a couple . Not going to tell you who , you have to read it for yourself . There is a little mystery and a whole lot of romance going on in this book . It would be a great summer beach read for you but i suggest you read we could be lovers so you don't get too confused .

GOOD TUESDAY ALL

 Good Tuesday all , hope your week is going great . Today I have book three in The Good to Last Death series . A MOST EXCELLENT MIDLIFE CRISIS  by Robyn Peterman

                           BOOK BLURB 

 A Paranormal Women's Fiction with a bit of class, and a lot of sass, for anyone who feels like age is just a number!

Midlife’s a bumpy journey. The ride is a freaking rollercoaster. The crisis is real.
With my life back to normal—normal being a very relative word—one would think I’d catch a break. One would be very wrong. With an Angel gunning for me and a Demon in my bed, life couldn’t be more complicated. Not to mention, I’m going to have to make a rather large life choice. Do I want to live forever?  Does anyone? Forever is a very long time.  Whatever. I’ll think about it tomorrow… or next week… or next month. As long as I have my girlfriends, my dogs, a super-sized case of merlot and my deceased squatters, I’m good to go.  My midlife crisis. My rules. If it doesn’t kill me dead first, I plan to have a most excellent midlife crisis. 

                        MY REVIEW 
   Daisy and the gang are back , Gram and the ghost squatters are back and helping Daisy out . There is an angel coming after her and the Grim Reaper is her boyfriend .  What is a girl to do . Decisions decisions decisions . When she has to make an life altering decision will she want to live forever . With her friends and her dogs her life is pretty dang good . 

 These are some great characters and just get better with each book. They are so funny , Daisy seems like a walking disaster waiting to happen. She is sassy and a fee spirit . We get to see a lot more emotion from her in this book. We find out a lot about her and the other characters . Missy is more then just a human and Heather is more then just a friend . The men are sexy as sin and ready and willing to help out their women . 

  This is a book that is a fun fast read for those summer days .  The author has a fun way to take us through our 40s .  i truly love these characters and the sassiness they have . The authors way of writing will have you rolling in the seats and also blushing a little at the romantic sexy times .   I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out . So if you want a fun book that will have you giggling and in some cases snorting out loud this is the series for you . If you like hot immortals and feisty woman check it out .

GOOD MONDAY ALL

 Good Monday all yes I know I am late on doing my blog post today , but alas it has been one of those days that everything and anything could go wrong . So tonight I have the last book in the Sacred Oath series by Plum Pascal .THEREN


                            BOOK BLURB 

    The Midnight Queen is no longer our only threat. Abedon, a god, threatens to awaken and if he does, he could destroy everything we’ve worked so hard for…
Theren is now able to see the light, but that doesn’t mean the others are ready to accept him.
And Variant is still under the power of the Midnight Queen.
But nothing is as threatening as the fact that Abedon could soon take control.
Now that my memories have been returned to me, I know who and what I am.
I’m the leader of the Vindication—a group of rebels who fight against Variant and the Midnight Queen.
Even as I fight to keep the peace between my harem of men, and I fight to protect my people, there’s a looming threat that could wipe us all out…
Find out what happens in the sixth and final book in the Sacred Oath Series!

                       MY REVIEW 
   The Midnight Queen is no longer the only threat that the group are facing now . Abedon is a threat that if awoken he could destroy everything that the group has worked hard to do.  Theren has finally seen the light but Variant is still under the queen's spell . Elish has her memories back and she finds out what she truly is . They are ready to fight all the comes up . Will they be able to survive what is coming or will they all end up loosing their lives .

 Elish and the men are back and we finally get to see Elish come into her full power and watch her become a kick butt warrior .  We finally get to see the true Theren , the man that Elish loved at the beginning and we also get to see Variant finally come to the realization that he belongs with the group. Each one has something special to give Elish to keep her equalized in the dark and the light .

  This is the final book in the series , I was actually sad to see this series end . The author shows us the full story of each character that finally comes full circle . This is one of those books that you need to find a place to settle down and read . The characters will grab you and keep you entertained . I love the complexity of each of the characters , they are gods but so flawed with insecurities . There are some emotional times through the book that will have you shedding a tear and there are also some really hot romantic scenes that will have you blushing and fanning yourself . I will say that you should read the whole series to get the whole picture of what is happening  so you don't get confused . This would be a great series for those long summer nights sitting by the fire . Check them out

GOOD TUESDAY ALL

 Well it is so hot and humid out today its a great day to sit in front of the a/c and read a really good book . Today I have book 3 in the Fated Mountain Wolf Pack series . STALKED MATE  by Jessica Aspen.

                            BOOK BLURB 

 It was just another ordinary day for Glenna…until she was violently attacked and thrown into a world of wolves—a world she never knew existed.
Now she's hell-bent on escape…
After nearly going wild wolf, Sam Wulfric is back and sane—mostly. The last assignment he wants is babysitting a new wolf shifter—and all the chaos that involves. Even worse, she’s one of the sexiest women he’s ever seen. And to top it all off—she’s driving his wolf crazy.
But everyone from the US Government to an unknown assailant is after Glenna and Sam’s instincts take over. Now, he’ll do anything to keep Glenna safe—even if her new found mating urge drives him over the edge.
Sam’s already found and lost and he’s hell bent on never going through that again. But fate has other plans…

                     MY REVIEW 
  Glenna was having a good day until the moment she was attacked and thrown into a world that she knew nothing about . The world of wolf shifters . Sam Wulfric is back in the fold and sane well mostly sane . There is the one thing he doesn't want is to be baby sitting a new wolf and the woman that is driving him and his wolf crazy. She is sexy and sweet and driving his wolf crazy . Now that everyone wants her from the governments to and unknown assailant are after her . Sam will do everything to keep Glenna safe . Will they be able to stay alive long enough to follow their hearts.

 What can I say about Sam and Glenna but holy wow . They are well written and complex . You really feel for Sam he has been through so much , he went wild and was in wolf form for awhile . He is strong and oh so sexy trust me . You will want him to come and rescue you . Glenna is well she is sweet and has a strength that matches Sam . She has had such a bad day and when she meets Sam the sparks fly . There are characters from the other books that come and help out Serina from book two who helps with some dream walking . These two have to be my favourite couples out of the whole series . I love Sam's wildness and Glenna's strength . 

   This is a book that you can really sink your teeth into . The author has a way of taking us on the roller coaster ride of emotions . The author writes in Glenna's and Sam's points of view .  I truly love this series and all the couples but this couple seems to have the most to loose and gain  The author has a way of taking scarred characters and making them whole again .  This is a very entertaining book that you will not put down until you are done . A great book to read by the pool or out at the lake . So check it out .

GOOD MONDAY ALL

Today i have a promo book for you . I am currently reading this book and loving it .

       THE DEAD OF JERUSALEM RIDGE 
  ABOUT THE BOOK 

Sheriff Piper Blackwell’s three-day vacation with old Army buddies ends in tragedy. At the same time, a vile hate crime along a county road enrages her department. Their forces divided, Piper and her deputies must solve both cases before tensions boil and threaten the rural fabric of Spencer County, Indiana. Only eight months on the job, the young sheriff must weave together clues to uncover both a killer and a secret that could scar her soul.

"Piper Blackwell is a smart and capable small-town sheriff, a thoroughly modern woman who leads a colorful cast of characters in this entertaining read. Well-crafted and suspenseful, THE DEAD OF JERUSALEM RIDGE adroitly threads the needle between Cozy, Procedural, and Action-Thriller. Jean Rabe's fans⸺both old and new⸺won't want to miss this one.⸺ Baron R. Birtcher, multi-award winner, and LA Times Bestselling author


 EXERPT 
“Women in the military never get enough credit,” Renegade put in. “I’m not a hot runner like Sheriff Christmas was, but I’ve got my eyes set on making General. I’ll do it. I’m going to make noise about it when I get the star. And today … I’m going to get a couple of kills and make it to the top of the hill first.”
“So, we capture this hill, right?” Piper had her copy of the map on the table, smoothing out the curl and leaning close to better read it. The map was a copy, shrunk down from an original 1820 poster-sized version Spaceman said he got at the library. The hill was one of several in the eastern section. Spaceman’s property, marked in red, stopped at the south where the hills started. It wasn’t easy to read the print. He said he couldn’t find a recent map with this much detail.
“Are we going to be trespassing if we go on the ridge?” Piper was ever mindful of legalities.
“Nope,” Spaceman replied. “Public property. County property, the ridge and five acres on the other side. I go up there once in a while just for the view. People camp on it. An old bluegrass musician was raised somewhere over there in a restored house. Nice little museum nearby. Sells souvenirs.”
“Not into museums.” Hemi took a look at the map. “But I like bluegrass. Okay, that hill. If one of us makes it to the top without dying, we win. Team Alpha has to hold the ground. Brick’s the only one I’m worried about.”
“And if we lose, we have to buy dinner for Alpha tomorrow,” Renegade called from in front of the stove.
“We won’t lose,” Spaceman said. “They’ll be buying dinner for us. We capture that hill, come back here for lunch … beer and smoked sausages. Then we go out for round two, where the stakes are even higher. We have the advantage. I’ve been traipsing this land since I was a kid. I know every inch. If you go past the ridge, you’ve gone too far, blown the objective. So don’t go farther than the ridge. We need to win today.”
Renegade brought plates to the table, the heavy-duty paper kind, and plastic forks. “I do not want to be on the losing side, Christmas,” she said staring at Piper. “You damn well better aim righteously with that cheap gun of yours. I want a free steak dinner with all the trimmings.”
“I want smoked salmon.” Spaceman presented a platter of bacon and a bowl of scrambled eggs dotted with cheese and green peppers. Biscuits and homemade maple butter were already on the table.
The eggs were warm and as tasty as anything she’d had at a restaurant. Piper detected among the scattering of peppers and cheddar a hint of cream cheese. She’d ask Spaceman later for his ingredients and pass them along to Nang. She wondered what Nang was doing this weekend, and wished there was cell reception so she could call him.
“How long did she live?” Renegade asked.
“Huh?” Hemi paused in mid-bite.
“Sybil,” Renegade replied. “What did your history class teach you about her end?”
“It’s always the end with you, isn’t it?” Hemi took a slug of coffee. “Seventy-seven. She was a little over seventy-seven, a long life for back then. There are a few statues of her, I think in New York. Her grave’s a little thing, though, no monument or nothing … and there should have been one. The Revolution might have turned out different if it wasn’t for her.”

GOOD MORNING ALL

  Good morning all hope your Tuesday is going well so far . I am on my third cup of tea trying to figure out what this day will bring . But before the day comes at me full swing I have a great new book for you  WOLF HEART by Linda Thomas- sundstrom

                            BOOK BLURB 

   One night changed their lives forever

Colton Killion—Miami Police offer and full-blooded Lycan, barely survives the vicious vampire attack that decimates his family. The trauma transforms him into a legendary being among wolf packs. Ghost Wolf. Now he's on a life-and-death mission to restore justice. The last thing he needs is a distraction—especially Rosalind Kirk.

Rosalind Kirk— long kept in seclusion due to her extraordinary talents, also fights the vampires. But her talents include absorbing traits of other creatures…and when something dormant in her family’s bloodline wakes up inside her, the spirit of an ancient Banshee vies for space, making Rosalind a unique wolf-vampire-banshee hybrid.

Now, Colton is the only being who can protect Rosalind from Others. But can they ignore the passion that sparks between them?

Rosalind and Colton must risk everything by crossing a forbidden line…consequenes be damned.


                    MY REVIEW
  Colton Killion is having a rough night . A police officer and a Lycan he is on the case when he is attacked by vampires . The same vampires that ripped apart his family . When someone comes along to help him fight the vampires  Rosalind Kirk a wolf with some special talents of her own.  When Colton's trauma transforms him into a mythical white ghost . Legendary among the wolf packs . Now he is protecting Rosalind from the things that want her . The passion ignites and can they ignore their feelings . Will they be able to survive to have the love they deserve . 

     I adore these two characters so much . Rosalind is a feisty woman who can take care of herself but is hiding some secrets . She wants to be free and not hidden away by her father. Colton well he is a man's man and he is a sworn protector , he has been through a tough time and is kind of sad . When they meet the imprint and now the mating instinct is high . They are such great and complex characters . You will fall for them and love them . 

   This is a book that when you sit down to read it be prepared to stay right where you are for awhile . The author has a way to get you to love the characters by the third page and keep on loving them through the whole book . There is so much that goes on in this book that will keep you on the edge of your seat and going whoa, what just happened. It isn't all action though we do have some sexy romantic moments that will set your kindle on fire .  I truly love this authors vision of what a werewolf is . The characters are very well written and complex and you will love them .  This series is a series that will keep you reading all summer long . A great beach read that will have you passing the day away . Check it out .

GOOD MONDAY TO EVERYONE

 Well it is Monday again and today I have book two in the Mists of Mayhem series  . CIRCLE OF THE MOON  by H.p Mallory .

                           BOOK BLURB 

   Game of Thrones meets Harry Potter…
Welcome to the sexy world of magic and mayhem—of witches, vampires, fae and lycanthropes.          This episodic, monthly fantasy romance series features all the characters you know and love from the New York Times Bestselling Jolie Wilkins series.
Never heard of the Jolie Wilkins series? Don’t let that stop you. This series serves as a standalone, immediately sucking you in and refusing to let go…

Episode 2: Circle of the Moon
Sinjin Sinclair might have been estranged from his family and friends, but that doesn’t mean he stopped caring about them. Learning of a possible threat to his niece, Emma, Sinjin has his own card to play.
Meanwhile, Emma finds herself increasingly attracted to her professor, Stone, who might not be all he appears. Then there’s also charismatic Clark who seems to be vying for her attentions.
And what will it mean for Bryn when she receives a visionary dream where she learns her sister, Jolie, long suspected to be dead, might actually be alive and lost in a place called the Abyss?
Find out what happens in the second episode of the Mists of Magic and Mayhem Series!


                          MY REVIEW 
    Bryn has a vision of her sister and Sinjin is keeping tabs on Emma and the family .  When Bryn heads out to talk to an old friend about the dream of Jolie being alive . Sinjin knows and devises a plan to go and help her out. While Emma is finding herself more and more attracted to her professor Stone Draper .  Then there is Rand and the hurt he is going through .  There is a lot going on and man its good . Will everyone survive and come out with their hearts intact. 

    In book two we get to find out more about some of the characters . There is more to Stone then we first thought . He is hiding a big secret , which of course I am not going to tell you buts Its good really good . Bryn well she is determined as ever to find her sister . She is feistier then ever and really determined .  Emma is well she is confused and fighting her feelings big time .  I love her so much she seems like a typical teen trying to get through school and she is wearing the weight of the world on her shoulders .  These characters are so well written and getting more and more complex . 

  In book two we find out more about some of the characters that we love already after book one .  The author takes us on a journey that has us heading to the fae realm and beyond . I can't wait to see where the author takes these characters . I love how we can read these books as a stand alone series . You don't need to read the Jolie series but it is a good idea. This series is becoming one of my favourite series by the author . She can weave a tale using magic and romance to fuel the story. I will warn you there is a big cliff hanger but you don't have to wait long to get the next book . So if you want a fun series to read at the beach check it out , you will not be disappointed at all .

WOOHOO ITS FRIDAY

Well we made to Friday and its going to be a great weekend. Today we have a new author and new book . WHEN IN LUCK by Colleen Nye .

                           BOOK BLURB 

   What if your celebrity crush was attainable?---------------------------------------------------You know that old saying: When in Rome? When you’re in a place, an environment different than you’re used to, you’re excused from how you’d normally act and are allowed to—heck, are obliged to—indulge? Try telling my best friend, Alice, that. When I had to back out of our girl’s trip to Maui, Alice not only got to meet her celebrity crush, but he actually asked her out on a date! One she tried to cancel. She won’t get out of it so easily when I step in. One thing is for sure, we never thought we’d ever meet our celebrity crushes. And at our age and with kids? We certainly never thought they’d pursue us! But here we go… awkward moments, blinding spotlights and all.

                       MY REVIEW 
   When Alice goes on vacation in Maui without her best friend Vivianne who is at home with her kids and her crappy husband .  When Alice meets her celebrity crush she is flustered . Vivianne comes to the rescue with hilarious results . Vivianne steps in and when they have so much fun with the men that waltzed into their lives . Will they be able to have fun and keep their crushes or will real life bring them down again . 

   Vivianne and Alice are such fun characters to read . Vivianne is such joy and full of life even though she is tied to a man that doesn't love her anymore . She wants to live but she doesn't know how . She is the comic relief to Alice who may be feisty but she is also very sad .  They are fun to read and you will be giggling through out the book . They are well written and you will love them . 

  This book is a book that you can sit by the pool and read . The author takes us on a fun filled ride  that will have you giggling . It has your fantasy of finding and falling for your celebrity crush and him falling in love with you . There are some fun times through out the book and the author did something different and its from just one of the characters point of view . So we see everything from Vivianne's point of view. Sometimes I felt the book was a little too wordy and it took away from the story . Also it dragged in some parts i felt it could of been thinned out just a bit . Over all I enjoyed this book and want to see if they really do end up all together in the end of the series . So check it out

WELCOME TO THURSDAY

  Good morning everyone today is cloudy , windy and dreary here on the farm so its a great day to read . Today we have COLLISION FORCE  by C.A SZAREK


                            BOOK BLURB

    The last thing Andi needs is a cocky FBI agent…
Bad boy FBI agent Cole Lucas always gets his man. So when the unthinkable happens and one gets away, Cole grits his teeth and hunts the human trafficker all the way to Antioch, Texas, where he collides with Detective Andi MacLaren.
Cole doesn’t do small towns and he doesn’t get involved with women he works with, but Andi tempts him in ways he doesn’t want to acknowledge.
Two murders, her partner shot and leading the investigation on her own, the last thing Andi needs is a cocky FBI agent that sees her as no more than a tagalong.
As a widow and single mother, she’s used to being on her own. When Cole gets stuck without a place to stay, crashing on her couch puts them in dangerous territory.
Attraction and passion bring Andi to a place she left behind when her husband died.
Her three-year-old son quickly wiggles his way into Cole’s heart, and he starts contemplating things—family, love—that he’d never planned for himself.
Can being forced to work together make them stronger or will their differences jeopardize their case and their hearts?

                         MY REVIEW 
 What happens when a small town deputy is paired with a cocky FBI agent . Well sparks do fly . When Cole Lucas has a criminal evade him, he is out to find him . Which takes him to Anitoch Texas where he has to work Andi Maclaren, a small town deputy who is working on her own case . Will the sparks fly or will their differences push them apart . 

 Wow is what I say about the characters in this story . Cole well he is cocky and sexy . He is one hundred percent a man's man . There is something under Cole's gruff exterior a  sweetness that Andi pulls out of him . Andi is sweet but tough as nails she is good at her job but not so good at feelings . She has been a widow and a single mom for so long . She doesn't know what to do when Cole comes and stays on her couch . You can feel the sparks fly with these two . 

  This is the first book I have read from this author and I am going to continue reading the series . The author us on an adrenaline fueled roller coaster ride . The characters are well written and complex you will love them and want to slap them upside the head through out the book .  I love strong female character and this book has one Andi is that character . The only down side to this book that it seemed to drag a little in the middle of the book . I felt like it seemed just to be a little slow . Over all i really enjoyed this book and going to dive right into book two . So if you like a good romantic suspense and this book to your summer reading list .

ITS WEDNESDAY ALL

  Good morning all , I survived the storm that blew through last night , there were moments though I thought I was going to get blown over the rainbow. It was a great night to read , I have the second book in the New World of Magic . THE MARCH EFFECT  by Kim Alexander


                              BOOK BLURB 

   A unicorn walks into a bar…and leaves with my heart.
He’s gone, and now I have a unicorn-named-March-shaped hole in my life. But, I get it. Unicorns aren't meant to live in a world where they have to deal with putting gas in the car, getting groceries, and paying cell phone bills.
I'm trying to get past this. Really, I am. It's just that everyone constantly talks about him, from his immortal ex-girlfriend, to reality TV-obsessed Fae, to even my own fully-human friends. Even his enemies are still obsessed with him. I learned that the hard way. Did I mention the part where I end up on the run—again—from an old, powerful enemy of his? Yeah. Fun times.
I just want to be left to get over my broken heart while watching home improvement shows and eating ice cream. But mysterious disappearances, murder, and a quest for affordable real estate in Washington D.C. keep getting in the way.
Maybe that's just life. Sometimes we get what we want. Sometimes, we get what we need. And sometimes, we get what we deserve. I guess you could call it…The March Effect.


                       MY REVIEW 
   Ruby is trying to heal her broken heart after March left . She couldn't blame him , unicorns don't really belong in this world . She knew he had to go but she just wishes her friends would just stop talking about him. She just can't get away from everyone's chatter and then the poor girl ends up on the run yet again . All she wants is to be left alone to eat ice cream and heal her heart . But alas she has to find out about the disappearances and murders and try and figure out her feelings . Will she find what she needs and will she survive to get her life back. 

  Ruby and the gang are back and getting better with each book . Poor Ruby really needs a break this poor girl has been through it all. She is still sassy and trying to get on with her life . There are characters that you want to slap and hug . Marly is sweet but you really want to help her become whole again. You will want hug and slap a few of the many characters up side the head . They are well written and getting more and more complex 

  In book two we find out what the effects were after March left this world . The author has put the main character through the ringer and is ripping out her heart as she goes . There are moments where you are on the edge of your seat and other moments you are wanting to wrap up the characters in a warm blanket . The author has a way of telling a story that will have you turning pages . The only thing I wish is the author would give the main character a bit of a break . The poor girl has been through so much ,she needs a vacation . There was a few times i felt the story was just dragging a little and I did kind of felt a little underwhelmed . Over all I enjoyed this book and really want to know if Ruby will ever get her happily ever after . This is a book that you can add to your summer reading list .

                            BOOK BLURB 

  Twelve years Dylan White has waited.
Twelve years since his family was yanked away
Twelve years of being alone—except for the friends he met at Baxter, who are now his family.
His brother, Noah, has disappeared. His sister, Nina, just turned eighteen, but he has no way to find her.

Mary Robins wears her heart on her sleeve. And it’s tattooed on her chest—the dog tags of the man she worshiped, surrounded by beautiful ribbons.
Her only purpose in life is to take care of those who are in need. Heal the broken and comfort that wounded—the very reason she’s becoming a nurse.  Except, she’s never allowed anyone to take care of her. Not in a very long time.  No one has wanted to take care of her until she meets Dylan and the Baxter boys. They’re a weird bunch – fiercely loyal and… hers.

Dylan is searching for something, and so is Mary. Searching for family, searching for friendships, and searching for love. Can they find what they so desperately need in each other?

                      MY REVIEW 
  Dylan is hunting for his family , his younger sister and brother . Its been twelve years of waiting and wondering where they are .  Mary wears her heart on her sleeve and loves to work with  people , her nursing career is good and she is wearing her heart on her sleeve . She has been taking care of herself for as long as she can remember until Dylan walks into the picture . They are both searching for what they need can they find it together . 

  The characters are well written . Dylan is fiercely loyal guy who is hurting big time from the loss of his family . He wants to get them back and will do what it takes to get them back . He is strong and kind but has a sadness in him . Mary is sweet , sassy but there is also a sadness in her that will want you to hug her tight . They are well written and when together you can feel the sparks fly a little . 

  This book will give you all the feels , the author takes us on an emotional roller coaster ride .   You will really like the characters and want to hug them and wrap a blanket around them and tell them that everything will be ok . Over all I really enjoyed this story but I felt like there were parts of the book that were a bit confusing for me cause there was so much going on with the characters also there were parts of the books that I felt kind of dragged a bit . Over all I really did enjoy this book and can't wait to read other books in the series . This would be a great book for your summer reading
