GOOD THURSDAY ALL
Good morning all, I hope you are all having a great week . One more day till it is Friday , wooohoooo. Today I have the second book in the Jasper Falls series for you . THE BEST MAN by Lydia Michaels .
BOOK BLURB
Patrick fell for Julie in kindergarten, when she shared her snack with him. As her childhood best friend, he adored and protected her for years, until she gave her heart to someone else. Loving Julie meant letting her choose her own path, so he did the gentlemanly thing and bowed out of her life, but never stopped loving her from afar.
When Patrick returns to Jasper Falls for his brother’s wedding, Julie is there—alone—and he decides it’s time to hang his heart on the line, but Julie has been keeping secrets, too.Is it ever too late for a first love? When it comes to Julie Cook, there could never be another. And, this time, Patrick Clooney is determined to prove himself as the best man.
MY REVIEW
When Patrick comes home to take over the doctor's position and to be the best man at his brothers wedding . Old feelings for his best friend come back to light . Julie has been the love of his life since kindergarten . They are best friends and he knew that if loving her means letting her go . When they meet the sparks are still there . With Julie healing from a bad relationship and keeping secrets of her own . Will they be able to find their way back to each other and rekindle the love they had for each other all along .
Patrick is the best friend and the guy next door that is sweet and kind but also the one that got away. He is sweet and kind and will do anything for his friends even pretend to be engaged to a sister to stop the gossip. Julie she is the shining star , she is popular and sweet but she is hiding some thing big and dark that has happened to her with the man who she thought she loved . When you first meet her she is scared and so confused , but as you read you see her grow and come to terms with what happened to her . They are well written and complex you will love them .
This is the second book in the Jasper Falls series and we get to meet more of the family . The author has a way of writing that will bring you in and keep you reading . I must say that this book didn't give me the same feels as the first book in the series . I felt like it was just a little less angsty then most of the authors books . Don't get me wrong I truly enjoyed this book and I loved the characters that the author writes about. I can't wait to see who is next that we get to meet. So if you want a fun book to read this summer check it out

Books to curl up with: HAPP WEDNESDAY: Good morning every one today we are part of great blog tour for Cathy Jackson and her new series . The first book is MIN EUROZAN . ...
HAPP WEDNESDAY
BOOK BLURB
I am no longer on Earth, nor any other place I know.
I have scant memory of how or why I came to be here.
The only constant is Love.
One owns my Body, he equally possesses and protects me.
One holds my Heart, wanting me as his friend and lover.
One challenges my Mind, he's captured me with his patient intellect.
One completes my Soul, our love is the deepest and most pure.
One heats my Blood, bringing with him fire and need.
I love them all, and I love them as One.
MY REVIEW
Min Eurozan is a different book for this author. We get to meet Judin and her mates . They all push and give Judin an aspect of love . Kinim Jerren and Thomal all have a piece of Judin's heart . They each give her what she needs and wants .
The characters are well written and you will like each one for different reasons . Each of them give Judin what she desires in ways that they can only do . Each man loves her in a different way . They are well written and complex there are moments when you want to wrap them all up and keep them safe .
this author keeps surprising us . She usually writes Christian romance that will have your heart ripped out and put back together . This book is a departure for her . I will say it took me a bit to get into the story and the characters but once I did I truly liked the story. The author has a great way of writing that will have you falling in love . I can't wait to see where the author takes the characters . So if you want a story of love in a scifi setting check it out .

GOOD TUESDAY ALL
Good Tuesday all , hope your week is going well. Today I have a new author to me and her book . GHOST FOR THE UNTAMED by Rain Bishop .
BOOK BLURB
Without any hesitation, I answer the calls from the boss of the Untamed. I am the one they call when negotiations have failed. If the job is time-sensitive and needs to be done with efficiency, I am your man. Born a bastard son, there are no records of me. A ghost in the system and contracted since birth, I am the Unseen Man. For the work that I do, you would never see me coming. If you did, you would know you’ve fucked up. With many years of training at this job, I excelled at what I did. Killing people, being the monster that awaited you in the dark. With no emotions that tied me down, I lived for this.
This assignment was no different from the last, until I found a drugged-up woman while on location. She awoke with fire in her eyes and changed my plan. Wearing the eyes of a killer, she captivated me in every way. After a horrific discovery, I vowed to tear the world apart alongside her. The only desire that I had now was her vengeance, and it was going to be sweet.
MY REVIEW
Remington is a man with no past , he is a ghost who is called when negotiations have failed . He is the man who is the last resort and when he gets the information that no one else can get . He has been trained for this his whole life. Then the one assignment that changed his life forever . The one thing that he thought would never happened did . When he meets a woman who changes his life forever. She was taken and when she wakes up they become the one thing that drug dealers will be hating . The UNSEEN will take them out . When the one thing they both want is vengeance and its going to be one sweet ride .
Ok I just want to say wow I truly like these characters . They are well written and complex. Remington is a man of few words, he is strong , silent man who has been conditioned to be ruthless . He has the weight of the world on his shoulders and he is ruthless .Until the moment he meets Gwen . Gwen is one feisty, strong willed woman . She may come off a little naive at the start but when you really get to shine is when she is Remington. She can handle her own with the men in her new life . She can put even the burliest of men in their place with a comment or a look . Both characters are great but together they really have a life of their own.
This book was suggested to me by a friend and I am glad she told me about it . I am usually not a mafia style book girl but this book had me from the first chapter . The characters were interesting and this was a mafia book but the men in this book had a conscious when it came to certain things. I couldn't put it down There was one thing just bothered me , they kept patting her on the head , I know she was short but it felt like it was she was a kid . Over all I loved this story and really can't wait to see where the author takes the characters . Over all I really enjoyed this book . So if you want a thought provoking book for your summer reading list check it out . I promise you will love the characters and the story.

if two people are battling at the same time.
Broken souls on a collision course.

They are just fighting with their inner demons and each other . After one night of drunken passion their lives change forever. Will they be able to put their demons behind them and realize that they belong together.
This is a book with characters that are well written . Garr is your typical alpha male. He is gruff and brooding but he does have a heart that is broken . Debbie is sweet woman . who is hiding a pass. She is strong but also very naive . She is a fun character to read and i love how they are together. They fight like cats and dogs but when they come together they are great .
This book is the first book I read from these authors and I enjoyed it . The characters are fun and you will like them. It is a fast read and i got it read in an evening . There were moments that you will want beat each of the characters upside the head with a frying pan . The story is one of love and misunderstandings . There were moments in the book where I couldn't really feel for the characters and sometime i felt the story lagged just a little . Over all I enjoyed this story and want to see where the authors take them in future . I think I need to read book one first to really get to know the characters . So if you want a good book for the pool this summer check it out .

HAPPY RELEASE DAY
Happy Release day to Theresa Sederholt and book two in the O Hanlan Family trilogy . Let me tell you about PATRICK .
BOOK BLURB
I’m known as “The Cleaner.” If you’re wondering why, it’s because when I’m on the job, you’d never know I was ever there. You’d never know anyone was involved; I’m that good.
What I’m not so good at is my personal life. I’m one of four O’Hanlon’s. As much as my brothers and I butt heads, we have each other’s back—no matter what. We weren’t so good at keeping our thumbs on our sister, Eevee, though. We lost track of her, and when she came back into our lives, we weren’t able to protect her like we had always pledged to. She was murdered before our eyes. She wasn’t the target, but that information doesn’t bring her back. Now all we are left with is: memories, a million questions, and massive amounts of rage. But that’s not all we have; we have Brigid.
Brigid is our seven-year-old niece that we knew nothing about until Eevee left her in our care. We must do a better job at keeping her safe. While we do that, Savanna will help me raise her as our own. She’s counting on me for her protection, as well.
Savanna Aiello
I have a gift that could be catastrophic in the wrong hands. I need protection and the only ones I can count on are the O’Hanlon’s, specifically—Patrick. The only thing that gets me through day after day of worrying is that sweet, precious little girl. I fell in love with her on day one, and I’m enjoying every minute of raising her. What I didn’t expect was to fall in love with Patrick. I’ve never been lucky in love before, but it looks like that is all about to change.
I know Patrick will go to the ends of the earth to protect Brigid and me. But it may be too much to ask for my father’s protection. The same man responsible for Eevee’s death.
This isn’t your typical fairytale. The stakes are higher than any of us could ever have imagined. There are too many roads to turn down and no clear direction for this journey.
MY REVIEW
Patrick is the middle child and the cleaner . He is the one that makes things disappear and what he wants is the killer of his sister to disappear . Still struggling with Evee's murder and what his brothers want him to do or not do. When Savanna becomes his refuge and his niece needs the love and protection that he only can give. Will they be able to forge the new beginning that they need or want or will the families get involved .
Ok I have been waiting for Patrick's book. The characters are so well written and with each book are becoming more and more complex . Patrick is a tough guy on the outside but on the inside he is a sweet guy who just wants to keep his sisters memory alive . We get to see him at his best and his worst . i love who this man is . We also get to see more of Savanna , and I really like how she is . She is stronger then everyone thinks she is and finally gets the backbone you wanted her to have . These two together are actually really good .
This starts basically where book one left off and you are on the edge of your seat most of the book. The author really does put her characters through the ringer .There is a lot of angst , a little romance and a lot of secrets unearthed . The story is complex and fast paced .You will read it in an evening . The pages just turn themselves . So if you want a great series with a group of men who will steal your heart while keeping you safe . Check out the O Hanlon series you will not be disappointed .

GOOD MONDAY ALL
Good morning all its Monday , hope you all had a great weekend reading some great books . Today I have a new series for you from Hp Mallory and J.R Rain. LONE WOLF ( Book one in the Artic Wolves series .)
BOOK BLURB
My name is Elodie Matthews, and a few months ago, I became the new police chief in the stamp-sized town of Hope, Alaska.
Running from a past I don’t want to face; my career path is now colliding with native lore, legends of shape-shifters... and wolves.One wolf in particular.
I’ve seen him before—in dreams that have been plaguing me since I moved to Hope. The dreams are always the same; a gigantic, black wolf with haunting steel-gray eyes. He wants something from me. I’m just not sure what.
When my deputy and I retrieve a frozen corpse from the Alaskan tundra with a silver dagger stuck in his chest, those legends about shape-shifters become more real than I care to admit.
It’s my first homicide case in Hope, and I’m determined to solve it and prove myself. But, when the corpse ends up coming back to life and escapes, the case becomes anything but routine.
My prime suspect is Alexander Johnson, a sinfully handsome bounty hunter who knows a lot more about shifters than he’s letting on. The missing John Doe case is definitely personal to Alex, but I’m just not sure how personal. And I’m also not sure if I can trust him, though he might end up being my only ally.
That or he’s the killer.
And there’s also the fact that Alex happens to have hair as black as night and eyes the color of steel…
MY REVIEW
Elodie has a new job in Hope Alaska , she has been running from a past that is now colliding with her present. With dreams of wolves she is trying to forget. . When she finds a dead body and she is determined to solve the case but when the corpse comes back to life and she meets the man who is hotter then sin and can she trust him or is he the killer . Will they be able to figure out who the corps is or will their feelings get in the way.
This book is very interesting the characters are well written . Elodie Matthews is a strong woman , at the beginning she did come off as a bit annoying but as she gets into the investigation she really comes out as a strong woman who will do whatever it takes to solve the case. Alexander well he is as hot as sin, with dark hair and piercing eyes . Honestly the man of her dreams actually . You just don't know if you should really trust him or not . He is kind of cheeky and sly. They are so good together and have great chemistry together . You can' t help but really like them.
This is a great start to the series , I really love the writing styles of these two authors . They have a very similar style that works so well together. I love how they mesh lore and paranormal together seamlessly . There were so many twists and turns in the book that will have you on the edge of your seat through out . You can also feel the romance in the air with the two main characters flirting with each other . I am truly in love with these characters and can't wait to see where the authors take them in upcoming books . If you want a good fast paced book that will have you wanting more . Check it out you won't be disappointed

ITS COVER REVEAL
Look it!The cover for Blood Pact with City Owl Press is Revealed.
This is the latest in Courtney Maguire's Youkai Bloodlines Series, a.k.a., gay Japanese vampires. *wiggles eyebrows* You know you want it.
About the Book:
In Hiro’s world, youkai are a supernatural story used to scare children into obedience, and to keep men out of back alleys and brothels. Until Sakurai Hideyoshi walks through his door with a fantastical tale of a samurai who had killed a thousand men and drank the blood of his enemies, a man that lived in darkness but sought beauty to keep it at bay.
A story both terrifying and romantic…and completely ridiculous.
Unless it is true.
Convinced something softer lurks behind Hideyoshi’s hard mask, Hiro follows him home. And discovers the story is real.
Only instead of the blood of his enemies, it is innocent blood taken.
Hideyoshi tells him never to return. Yet after Hiro’s mother is mortally wounded, Hiro runs back to the one being he knows with the power to save her. When Hideyoshi can’t, Hiro begs him for the next best thing: the power to avenge her.
As Hiro becomes youkai, he faces a new threat, something darker, older, and far more dangerous. With Hideyoshi at his side, Hiro must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice--and what he’s willing to do--to protect this new life before he loses everything for a second time.

BOOK BLURB

Find out what happens in the 11th installment of the Lily Harper Series!
MY REVIEW
Lily and the gang are back and on their way to stop the war between the two factions in the Underground City . With Tallis on one side and Lily on the other side . They are also still coming to terms with what happened between Lily . Tallis and Asterion after they finally got together . Will they be able to come to terms with what has happened while trying to stop the ultimate fight that are occurring .
Ok here we go I am going to say that book eleven has been the funniest book in the series . Lily is finally coming into her full powers and is stronger then ever . She is on one side of the fight and Tallis is on the other side . Tallis well he is fighting hard to not let what happened get in his mind. He is still the sexy Scotsman who will melt your heart and fight for those he loves Bill is off helping them fighting his own fight along side them . I truly love these characters and the way they have grown and become more complex with each book. We do get to meet some new characters and well they are gangsters and well Anne Franks makes an appearance to help everyone out .
This is such a fun read , the author takes us back to gangsters and gangland fights with tommy guns and classic gangster warfare . Lily is still the center of the story but it just becomes more fun as you read. The author takes us on another epic adventure . The story seems to just have a life of its own. I will warn you the first chapter has an awesome sex scene in it so don't be put off . Just keep reading and enjoying Lily and the gang. I read this book in a day and couldn't put it down . So if you want a fun series to read check out the Lily Harper series .
