HAPPY RELEASE WEEK TO LYNN BURKE

  Good morning peeps welcome to Wednesday already . Today is release week for Lynn Burke and her new book SEEKING TWO LOVERS . 


                            BOOK BLURB



 Finding my ex-fiancĂ© beneath the man we invited into our relationship jaded my heart, and I refuse to share lovers ever again.

The dating app Missing Link offers me the chance to fulfill my desire of having two men love on me at the same time—without the crossing of swords.

Fate plays her games, and I end up separately dating two men at the same time, who as a whole, would be my dream come true.

The problem?

They’re roommates. Best friends. And neither knows the girl they claim to have fallen for is one and the same.

When the truth is uncovered, I perceive the unrequited love in one’s gaze and unrecognized feelings in the others.

But the fear of being set aside a second time comes too late.

I’m already in too deep.


                         MY REVIEW
 Lily is living her life in California after her break up from her sweet boy friend who is now with the man he loves . She is wondering what it would be like to have two men to have fun with . Enter the missing link a dating app where she finds a guy that could maybe scratch an itch she has . Also she meets the sweetest most shy guy at the coffee shop she works at for the summer . She is attracted to both of them, little does she know that they are best friends and roommates . Will she finally find the men that will  fulfill the fantasies she has or will they leave her in the dust . 

   Hmmmmmmm ok this is Lily's story and it is well written .  At the beginning of the book though Lily really kind of annoyed me , she still seemed to be a little naive in a way and just a little spoiled . I know she is insecure about relationships through out the book . But she really surprised through out the book as she matured and you really got to see the way she truly loves and wants to be loved. The men that come into her life are like polar opposites of each other but are best of friends . Greyson well he is the West coast surfer kind of guy who has money but is a good guy . He is kind of bossy every now and then but deep down in his heart he is a loving man who wants love and wants to love the two people in his life .  Blaine is well he is a broken tortured man who wants to be loved . He has had such a tortured past that still haunts him to this day.  He is just sweet and loving all you want to do is wrap him up in a warm blanket and just hold him and love him .Each of them are complex but when together they really do complete each other . 

  This is the one book I was waiting for, I really wanted to see how Lily grew up and found her loves . The author did a great job in bringing Lily , Greyson and Blaine together. There were moments where I was laughing so hard that I actually snorted and there were many parts where tears were flowing freely especially when Blaine 's story was being told .  There are triggers in this book about past child abuse and sexual abuse in a cult .  This is one of those storires that you can sit down and read in an evening , especially if you love characters that are flawed and broken .So check it out .

HAPPY TUESDAY

  Good morning peeps , hope you June is going great and you have a long list of books for your summer reading . If you like Greek Mythology I have a good book for you it is the first book in the Gates of the Underworld series . WRATH OF THE GODS by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain 


                           BOOK BLURB



  Why does Ares, the god of war, want me dead?

Cameras, makeup, hair, designer clothing…

In the mortal world, I am my beauty. No one sees beyond it. And it’s been that way for the last 250 years.

Day in and day out—the same.

Until my sister, Janie, dies.

With my world newly shattered, I turn to the only person powerful enough to do something about it—my mother, the goddess Aphrodite…

Who happens to be kind of a bitch.

Regardless, good ol’ Mom informs me that Janie’s soul has been captured by the most hated of the gods, Ares. And he’s keeping Janie hostage in the deepest level of the underworld, the Fifth Gate.

Determined to rescue Janie and with Aphrodite’s ‘blessing’, I travel to the First Gate, the entry point to the Underworld, a hellscape of exploding volcanoes, ashy air and death as far as the eye can see.

Yeah, it’s no Club Med.

Anyway, it’s here I meet the famed Adonis who, in case you were wondering, definitely lives up to his legendary hotness. Unfortunately for him, though, he’s playing sex slave to the power-hungry Queen Azhrea, the ruler of the First Gate (who incidentally insists he wear only a loincloth).

Man-thongs aside, it isn’t long before Azhrea’s army captures me and delivers me to General Adonis. Now imprisoned, I’m at his mercy. And although it seems like Adonis wants to help me, I’m not sure I can trust him because Azhrea’s influence might be too strong.

And even if I’m lucky enough to escape Azhrea and the First Gate, how I am supposed to survive the next four? Not to mention the final face-off with Ares, who wants my head on a silver platter, owing to the hatred he harbors for my mother.

What’s that old phrase about the ‘sins of the parent being visited on the children’?

Yeah, touché.



                      MY REVIEW
   Penelope has it all money , good looks and a job that well would make you envious . She is not having it anymore she is tired of being passed around by her agent . On one fateful night she is shaken to her core. Her sister Janie dies and Pen is out to get her back from the depths of hell . Oh did I forget to tell you that Penelope is the doughtier of Aphrodite and she needs her mothers help to go and find her sister's soul in hell . What she doesn't realize that her sister was taken by Ares to the 5th circle of hell and she has to get through each gate to get her . With the help of Adonis will Pen make it through the first gate and defeat Azhrea the first gate keeper . Will she survive the first gate and will she be able to defeat Ares before he declares war on Mount Olympia,

     Ok if you love Greek mythology you will love these characters . Penelope is a demigoddess and honestly I don't think she likes being what she is now . She is gorgeous and poised people want to be around her . Her agent takes advantage of that and uses her big time . She doesn't realize how strong she actually is .  At first she comes off a little naive in some ways but as you read she gets to be a stronger warrior woman . It takes her awhile but she does come into her own. Adonis well he is a man caught in a web of a evil woman . He is strong and sexy but can not think for himself . When he meets Penelope there is a stirring inside him that makes him want to help her and keep her safe . We also get to meet Ares and Aphrodite in this book . All the characters are well written and complex . 

  If you love Greek mythology this is the book for you . We get to meet a lot of of the Gods and Goddess and we get to fall in love with them. The characters are well written and you really come to care for the main characters . The authors paint a great landscape for the characters to play in . The story was good and it flowed well the authors can write very well together . I did find at the beginning I found that it was just a little slow . Once you hit chapter three the story goes full throttle and you will be up all night .  Over all I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to see more of these characters and the rest of the gates . So if you want a great story for your summer reading list check it out

WELCOME TO MONDAY

  Good day peeps hope your Monday is going well. Today I have the last book in the Artic Wolf series . Lets dive into  DARK WOLF  by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain. 


                          BOOK BLURB



   I just found out I’m mated to my wolf shifter boyfriend, Alex...

While that might not sound so bad—we can now read each other’s thoughts.

And maybe that doesn’t sound so bad either—except for the fact that I’m a very private person and the only person I want inside my head is me...

And, ahem…I also can’t seem to keep my eyes or mind off a certain bear shifter named Lucas, who just accosted Alex and me in the woods.

And these confusing feelings are the last thing I want Alex to know anything about!

Even though Lucas is a jerk, something about him seems to appeal to my inner wolf.

As if that weren’t a big enough issue, there’s also Lucas’s father, Harvey, his pack leader.

Harvey’s not only a drunk and an abuser, but I’m pretty sure he’s also guilty of murder.

So, now it’s up to me to prove that guilt and figure out what this attraction is that I can’t seem to get past regarding Lucas.

All in a day’s work...




                          MY REVIEW
  Welcome back to Alaska where the night are long and the shifters are hot . Elodie has now mated with Alex and its not that bad until they run into a bear shifter Lucas . Now what could go wrong but that dang pesky bear is attracted to Elodie's inner wolf . What is a girl to do except hunt for the bad guy and try and come to terms with her feelings .  Its all in a days work for the tough as nails a police captain . 

  Elodie and gang are back and better then ever . Elodie is feisty and kick butt she is also now a wolf . Which brings her a bunch more trouble . She can hear her mates voice now and well she can shift . She is so much fun . Alex is her mate and man he is strong and sexy and but still broody .They are so cute together and are meant for each other . There are so many other characters that are part of the book Lucas who is a bear shifter who turns Elodie's head . All the characters are well written and complex. 

  This is the last book in the series and I was kind of sad when I started reading . The story took me to Alaska right in the middle of winter . The authors really paint a picture of Alaska and what it is to live there . The characters are well written and complex and you will fall in love them . the authors really wrap up all the story lines quite nicely . I really loved this story and was sort of sad it is all over . So if you want a fun fast read check out this series .

WELCOME TO THURSDAY

  Good morning peeps , hope your Thursday is going great . It is still windy here so another day of reading is ahead for me  Today I have for you book 3 in the midlife mermaid series  AMERMAID TO REMEMBER  by Hp Mallory and J. R Rain 


                         BOOK BLURB 



  After nearly losing everything in the most recent battle with Cullen, Eva isn’t sure how to pick up the pieces.

First, there’s Mayer: Yes, he was initially working for Cullen, but when push came to shove, he protected Eva. Indeed, it’s only due to Mayer that Eva is even still free. Yet he also backstabbed her, so she isn’t sure how she should feel towards him or whether she can or should ever trust him again.

Then there’s Mara—once Eva’s best friend, now things are beyond rocky between the two mermaids. All Eva wants is to resolve this feud between them, but unless Eva agrees to return to Corsica, Mara doesn’t want to talk.

Then there’s Eva’s friendship with Wendy that’s falling apart at the seams because Eva can’t tell Wendy the truth about what and who she really is.

Next up is Sawyer—that seems to be the only relationship in Eva’s life that’s going well. After surviving what they have together, Sawyer realizes what Eva means to him, but soon the question becomes whether it’s a good time to discover what could exist between them?

The answer appears to be ‘no’ since Cullen is still on the loose and Eva’s heart is torn between the two men…


                      MY REVIEW
 Eva and the gang are back and right after the battle with Cullen . They are beaten and battered but they are alive and together . Mara is fighting with Eva , Sawyer is there for her but there is more brewing between . Mayer is the loose cannon he was working with Cullen at first but when the time came he went against Cullen and fought to save Eva . All Eva wants is to end the feud , feel safe and have a relationship with Sawyer and Cullen to be gone forever . Will she be able to figure out what her wants and will she be able to put the past behind her and stay where she belongs with her friends and family 

  Ok Eva and the gang are back and better then ever . Eva is growing stronger and stronger, she is becoming a very fierce woman . She is taking back her life and will let nothing get in her way. Mayer is the man who you really can't trust , he was underhanded at the beginning but he seems to be trying to make amends for what he has done . He is strong and passionate and wants to be part of a world where he can be loved and love . There is a secret side to him that is well he is like a spy and do you trust him or not . Sawyer oh sweet lovable Sawyer . He is the man who is strong and humble . You want to hug him and take care of him . He is a truly sweet man who would give you his heart and keep your heart save . He will do anything to help out a friend even get her a job. He is the knight in shining armour . Mara is well lets just say that if you met Mara you would probably punch her . She is brooding , flighty and you just can't trust her . She is just a horrible person and trust me you will dislike her . 

 Ok this book starts basically where book two left off , after the big fight on the beach .  The characters in this book are so well written and you will love them. I started this book and couldn't wait to see what happens but as I read I really didn't want the book to end . I wanted to see how things turned out and if Sawyer and Eva get together . See if Mayer and Mara will get what is coming to them .  The authors have created such wonderful characters and such a story that will keep you reading the whole series . Mermaids are looking for love to . This is the last book in the series and I loved each book . So if you want a series for some good fun reading for the summer check it out .

HAPPY RELEASE DAY THERESA SEDERHOLT

  Good afternoon everyone , it has been a long week here on the farm . Today I have the 4th book in the Fitz series . I'M NOT YOUR DIFFERENCE  by Theresa Sederholt . 


                              BOOK BLURB



  Andy Justice is a single dad, trying to teach his daughter, Stella, how to live in a world without labels . . . to love and be loved for who she is. To value family and friends, and always be kind. The lesson may not seem extraordinary, but when you’re a single, gay man, battling Parkinson’s who’s adopted a deaf girl orphaned because her mother was murdered, it has a lot more significance in the meaning.

These two have become the perfect medicine to heal each other’s heart. Andy just never thought he would be doing this alone. His husband, Stephen, was not on board with raising Stella. Between Andy’s illness and the special circumstances surrounding Stella, it was all too much for him. So . . . he walked away.

Just when Andy has settled into his new life with Stella and feels ready to give his heart another chance at finding love, Stephen unexpectedly contacts him and asks to meet. Andy agrees, if only to have his say, something he never had the chance to do before.

When the meeting happens, Andy finally feels the confidence to move on. Stella is his focus now, and even though Stephen will always have a place in his heart, he finds his closure. However, things are completely opposite in Stephen’s world, as seeing Andy only confirms what he’s been afraid to admit all along—he’s made a huge mistake. Now he has to do everything possible to win Andy back, to have the future that was always meant to be.

While Andy and Stephen are working on whether they will have a future together or not, a serial killer, who is targeting gay men, has other plans for them both.

There’s only one man who can put all the pieces together in time to save them—Fitzgerald “Fitz” Rodriguez.



                           MY REVIEW 
      Fitz and the family are back , Andy is trying to get his life back in order after Stephen left him and his daughter alone . Andy's illness and trying to take care of a young girl was just too much for him he walked away . Leaving Andy devastated and trying to come to terms with Stephen leaving . Once Andy is back on his feet taking care of Stella and moving ahead with the help of Fitz and Mj he is ready to move on . Stephan comes back and wants to work it out but will he be abled to trust him and figure out what he wants . While they are working things out there is a serial killer is out there preying on gay men and he has Stephen and Andy in his sights . Fitz is on the case an will do anything to keep his family safe and catch the man before he decides to kill the two men . 

  Omg I was so excited to find out there was a fourth book in the series . Fitz is the man that you want to be friends with , he is strong willed and will do anything to keep everyone safe . Andy well he is the center of this book and we see a strong man who is coping with a disease that has a death sentence and taking care of the light of his life . You really get to know more about him in this story . He is stronger then people believe , he is a fighter and he loves his family and his friends . Stephen we see him at his lowest point and we see that he is conflicted between standing up and living his life his way and bringing Stephen back into his life . There are so many characters that come in and out of the story . They are all truly amazing each character is well written and complex. You will love them . 

    Ok I was so excited  when I heard that Fitz was getting another book in his series . This series is one of my favourite series out there . The characters are so well written and complex and you will fall in love with them . I dove into this book and couldn't put it down I got sucked in to the story from the first chapter .  I am going to warn you that the author goes dark and there are some graphic scenes that might put you on edge . I totally enjoyed this book and can't wait to see where the author takes these characters . So if you want a great story for the summer reading list .
