GOOD MORNING

  'Good morning peeps and hope your hump day is going well. Today I have for you the newest book by VJ Lee, DECK THE HALS.


                            BOOK BLURB 



 Halston (Hals) Armond’s Christmas story is not a sweet, blissful tale of pleasant, happy times filled with light, love, and laughter. His story is one of haunted dreams, memories of blurred evil images, and the dark corners where monsters lived. Now that the monsters from his past have been kind of vanquished, it’s time to go after the Devil the monsters sold him to, even if that means using the Devil’s daughter against him. Hals will stop at nothing to put his painful past to rest, and realizes this could be his last Christmas … and well, he’s made peace with that.

Bliss Murphy is her father’s right-hand woman, working for the family business … the same business she vowed to tear apart. Her mission is to save every soul her father has bought and tortured. Her first save was her hardest to get over, and every day those blue eyes haunt her—more than anyone knows. When her father forces her to work alongside the man she saved, she’s not sure if it’s her heart that she’s worried about losing, or revealing all her secrets and losing everything.

With the Devil, tainted souls, secrets upon secrets, murder, and mayhem, this Christmas may be the bloodiest yet. Or if they survive with their lives and souls intact, it could be the first blissful one they ever had.
Can their Christmas story be rewritten?

***This book may be triggering to some. There is abuse, sex trafficking, drug addiction, an evil Santa, knives, blood, murder, and an old lady in a leather catsuit.
I understand if you don’t think you can read any further and have to move on to your next read, but these things have made Halston Armond the man he is today, and honestly, he finds a piece of himself he didn’t know was missing. ***
                    My Review 
 Halston Armond's has had a life that you could not even dream about in your worst nightmare. As a young man he was sold to a trafficking ring, by of all people his father and uncle.  He did it to save his cousin from the same fate. After years of abuse, he is saved by an angel, who he could never forget. Until the day that he comes face to face with the man who was his capture and his daughter, the one who saved him. Bliss Murphy is the dream that he has but she is hiding a secret and with Hals wanting to help destroy her father. Will they survive the Christmas season of destruction and come out the other side with their hearts and souls intact.  Or will this be Hals last Christmas. 
 Ok I am going to admit it here right now, I kind of have a crush on Hals. He is such a strong man with a fighting spirit. He may be a broken man, but he has a heart of gold buried deep down inside. When he loves. he loves with his whole heart and will protect those he loves. He is also very flawed from what happened to him, and you just want to hug him and tell him everything will be ok.  Bliss is well she is a strong woman who is fighting for her life and the lives for those that her father traffics. She is playing a dangerous game, but she has help from those that are loyal to her. She is strong willed and feisty, at first you won't like her very much she comes off as a stiff kind of person, but when we get to see her with others, we see a loving emotional woman who would do anything for anyone she loves.                            We also get to meet some new characters and some not so new characters make an appearance. Kels, Lennox and Ruby make an appearance and will make you laugh so hard. We also get to meet Ryder the hot biker who is helping with the rescuing of all the potential trafficked women and children. He has a, you can't really trust him vibe. He is just well sex on a stick. We also get to meet Piper a sweet woman who has seen some horrors in her life and is trying to get her life together again. 
   This is one of these books that when you start you will not put it down. I was kind of leery to start Halston's book because I knew that he was messed up from another book. I was hoping that we would get to know him better and boy did we ever. We see him at his worst and at his best. We get to see him shaken to his core and then coming back and fighting for those he loves. The author took time with bringing his story to life and she did a very good job.  This isn't your typical Christmas story, there is a lot of hurt and pain that the characters have to work through. I will tell you though there could be some triggers for some people, bloodplay, abuse and sex trafficking. If you have a sensitivity to these this might not be the book for you. If you want a book that handles those activities with a sensitivity and care this could be the book for you. Also, if you want a good laugh check out grandma in a leather catsuit kicking some butt. Ok just to let you know I laughed so hard at Ruby in a leather catsuit kicking them in the balls over and over. If you want a great book to read over the holidays check it out.

GOOD MORNING, ALL

  Good morning my peeps hope your Tuesday is going well. Hope your Christmas prep is going well. Today I have the third book in the Crown of Lies series. THE KINGDOM OF DECEIT by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain


                             BOOK BLURB



  After returning to Woodfall Gath and Nicolo learning the truth about what I am and what I was sent to the Gath to do, I find myself in a grave situation…

‘Grave’ as in I’m being sent to the castle dungeons where I’ll be left to rot.

Or worse.

One thing every assassin learns early on is never to get caught. And if you do get caught, get out.

So, that’s exactly what I do. And when I escape, I find myself landing in the hands of one very unlikely ally—Duke Wylder.

Now helping to lead Wylder’s rebellion against King Balduin, I’m also firmly on Nicolo’s opposing side.

And while I want to believe that the Nicolo I loved in Simnel is still somewhere within ‘The Terrible,’ and I want to trust that Nicolo will see the wrong in Balduin, I might be making a huge mistake.


                                  MY REVIEW
   After coming back to Woodfall Gath, Charlotte is in a heap of trouble. she has told Nicolo what is happening and what she was paid to do. Things go from bad to worse as Charlotte is taken to the dungeon but like any good assassin, she escapes and ends up helping the rebellion against King Balduin, while trying to help Nicolo remember what he was like in Simmel and not the man he is now. Will they be able to get back what they had or will the king win. 

  Charlotte and Nicolo are back and more complex. Charlotte is well she is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Charlotte is fighting for her very life and the life of the man she loves. She is one tough cookie and will do what is right for all those she cares about. Now Nicolo on the other hand has basically done a 180 turn around and seems to be as mean as ever. He is torn between his best friend and the woman he loves. He is one complex dude one moment you are loving him and the next moment you want to smack him upside the head with a frying pan. I truly love these two characters; they are very well written and complex.  

 This is the last book in the series, and I couldn't wait to read it. The authors really put the characters through a lot of pain in this last book.  There is a lot more fighting scenes throughout this book. We also get to see some sweet moments between the characters as we find out more about the people with violet eyes and their special talents. This is a series that will have you believing in the power of love and what it can do. If you want a series that will have you on the edge of your seat and loving some romance check it out .

  Good evening peeps, today is the last book in this years reader round up. We are ending with EMMA AND THE WEEPING SPIR|IT by Mathew Cox


                         BOOK BLURB



    Ten-year-old Emma has battled dark creatures and protected her home from errant magic, but an unexpected letter brings her scariest trial yet―attending a wedding in Calebrin.

Da’s younger sister has invited them for her ceremony, but Emma dreads the huge city, its strange people, uncomfortable fancy clothes, and worst of all: shoes. Her anxiety builds when Nan refuses to go, filling her head with worries about what could be wrong with her father’s side of the family.

On Emma’s first night in Calebrin, spectral crying wakes her. She creeps out of bed to discover a forlorn spirit wandering the halls, who seems to be trying to warn Emma of danger. Alas, Da’s prim and proper mother has a low opinion of druids, and an even lower opinion of Mama. His younger brother takes particular delight in tormenting Emma, and her efforts to assist the spirit only annoy him more.

She suspects something far darker than an arrogant uncle lurks in the giant manor house where her father grew up. No longer afraid, Emma tries to help the ghost—before she becomes one herself.

                      MY REVIEW
 Emma and her family are back and things have improved for the family a little. Emma and the kids have their own room now and they are thriving in their small home with mom and dad. Mom is busy healing people and Emma is helping. Until the day they get an invitation to come to da's family home for a wedding. Where, Emma just feel comfortable with what she has to wear and most of all she doesn't like her uncle, he keeps trying to harm her. When a spirit keeps haunting Emma, she knows there could be a darker, sinister going on. With the help of the ghost Emma is on the way to finding out what happened and maybe help the ghost to figure out what is going on
 Emma is back and she is growing up. She is finding her way in the world and helping her mother out more and more. She is strong and resilient. She is ready to fight. We also get to meet dad's family in this book and man they are strange. Grandma doesn't like the girls. Emma doesn't want to be there with the creepy uncle and the grandma who doesn't like her. These characters are so much fun to read they are so well written. You will fall in love with this family. 
 This is book five in the series and yes, I know it is for middle school age children but as an adult it is an enjoyable read. The characters are well written, and the author doesn't dumb down the pace of the story. I truly enjoyed this series and would recommend them to anyone wanting a fun series, Check it out for your middle school kid or even for yourself.

BOOK 12 IS UP FOR READER ROUND UP

  Good morning peeps hope your week is going great. Today I have for you FORBIDDEN SCRIPT book 2 by Kali Willows.


                              BOOK BLURB



  When a psychic loses her clairvoyance, how can she protect herself or the ones she loves? With dangerous accidents happening at every turn, Elora and Brennen find themselves in a race against the evil descending upon them.

In book 2 of the Forbidden Script series, Elora Roberts finds herself at odds, without her guides or her gifts, and facing imminent danger. Fleeing to Toronto with actor and director Brennen Wentworth to hide from a sadistic predator, their romance heats up, but so does the peril tailing them. Soon they’re faced with deadly terror on and off screen of Brennen’s biopic film.

Despite the burning attraction between them, this is no typical love story. Turning to mentors from her past, can Elora unravel the messages from beyond in time to end the carnage, or will she be too late to stop the evil descending on them?
                    MY REVIEW 
 Elora and Brennen are fleeing to Toronto after her house has burnt to the ground. She is at odds with herself. She is without her guides and her gift. Brennen is a god send to her and helping her hide from the terror that is haunting her. Together they must figure out who is haunting them both and will the passion they share be able to keep them safe enough to figure out who is behind the evil following them.
 Elora and Brennen are back fighting an unknown evil haunting them. Elora is well she isn't working at full speed without her powers, she feels lost and not in control. She is stronger than she knows and when push comes to shove, she will do anything to save those she loves. Brennen is there to protect her from the start. He is stronger than they both realize, and he is her rock when things start to fall apart. They have such a strong chemistry, and they can't deny what is between them. 
 This book starts right where book one left off. The two of them heading to Toronto to hide from the crazy person trying to kill them.  The author puts her main characters through a lot and we get to see how they will react and get out of the spot. There is so much going on in this story. We have a mystery. intrigue and romance all in the backdrop of Toronto.  Overall, I enjoyed this book, but I did feel like the ending kind of left me wanting more, felt like there were some holes that need to be filled hopefully in book three. Overall, this is a fun fast read that will have you on the edge of your seat most of the time. Check it out you won't be disappointed.

GOOD MORNING IT IS BOOK ELEVEN IN READER ROUNDUP

 Good morning my peeps, welcome to hump day and book eleven in the reader roundup. Today's book is TIED UP IN SIN by Aubree Valentine. 


                           BOOK BLURB



 Welcome to Sinner's Sanctum, where your darkest desires come to life.

I may have been born into Sin, but this was never the life I envisioned for myself. That was until my military career quite literally blew up in my face. Now I'm forced to find a new sense of normal and joining the family business seems like the next best move.

Bringing Sinner's Sanctum to life allows me the one thing I truly crave: control.

Inside these walls, I'm the one in charge. Always.

But when a woman from my past comes kneeling at my feet, control is the very last thing I feel.

Carly has no idea what she's in for, even though I tried to warn her.

I guess there's only one way for her to learn, and that's by being tied up in sin.

                   MY REVIEW 
  Kane was a military man until the day his life blew up in his face and now, he runs sinner's sanctum a club where your darkest desires come to life. He is making the club a success and when the one that got away walks back into his life. His life is flipped for the better. When his friend goes missing, will Carly understand his need for saving her and his need for control. Will Carly give him what he needs, or will she bolt like she did two years ago. 
 Kane is a man who likes control and needs control, he wants to keep everyone that he cares about safe. He is an alpha all the way broody and sexy. He knows what he wants, and his kinks are ones of rope, control and maybe a bit of a breeding kink. Carly is the one that got away, but she is back and wanting more. Carly is sexy and confident, but she is also hiding a dark secret that made her bolt. She can also be a brat whenever she can. They are a hot couple who can't stay away from each other. 
 This is a short read that you can read in an evening. The characters are fun to read, wish they were a little bit more complex, but they are well written. The story is a second chance romance with a bdsm flavor. I enjoyed this story, but I wish it could of been a little longer so we could really get to know the characters and also get more one the mystery side also. Overall, I truly enjoyed this story and want to read about the rest of the family. If you want a fast hot read this winter check it out. You will melt the snow reading this book.

TIME FOR BOOK TEN IN READER ROUND UP

  Good morning peeps, hope your week is going well. Today I have book three in the Custos series. THE BOOK OF MYSTERIES by Savannah Verte


                           book blurb



  Twins Poppy and Bergie share everything, including an ability to read the mysterious book that Bergie gets Mardi Gras Day when the Muddy Graws debut in the Rex parade. Two potential Keepers makes double the work for the Custos guardian, who can’t be two places at once. Poppy’s book grab from its hiding place in a fit of anger potentially changes everything and could shift the balance between light and dark.

Sebastian Winder has his hands full. The new Keeper has a twin who knows more than she should, and who is actively interacting with a member of White Diamond. 1920 can’t come fast enough. Fearing the inevitable worst, the guardian asks for an assistant. Who he gets, is Ramsby Roth, a fresh from the Farther Fields, greener than green Custos with no experience.

In this third installment, it might take every one available to keep the book from the wrong hands as the odds are stacking against them. Just when they think the end is in sight, World War I erupt, Bergie is sent to serve, and Carnival festivities in New Orleans are cancelled. What if there’s no Mardi Gras?

How can they keep the book safe now, or get it to the new Keeper? Only the book knows.


                               MY REVIEW
  Bergie and Poppy are twins share everything, including reading from the book that Bergie gets from Mardi Gras. With two potential keepers has the Custos working overtime trying to keep them safe. With the book grabbed in anger will that change everything between the light and the dark. They are pulling fresh recruits in to help but will they be able to get the book to the right person. Or will the dark succeed. 

 All the characters are back, and we get to meet the new keepers. Bergie well he is a sweet kid who feels like he wants to belong cause his sister is really opinionated and also his twin. They are like your typical twins they fight; they get on each other's nerves but when push comes to shove, they are there for each other. They are strong in their own right and will do anything to keep each other safe. Rourke is back and working his butt off trying to keep the keepers safe. We also get to meet a new guardian Ramsby Roth a brand-new recruit. He is keen but not sure exactly what he needs to do. Each character has grown and become more and more complex and even the newer characters are well written. 
 
  For the third book in the series, we really get a more action-packed book. The author has upped her game in this installment. The story takes on a more edgy story.  We get to see more action in the Custos this time around with the characters working overtime. There are lots of twists and turns throughout the book that will keep you on your toes. I think this series would be great for your teen and you to read. Check out this series you will not be disappointed.

HAPPY SUNDAY ALL IT IS TIME FOR BOOK NINE.

    Good afternoon all today we have book nine in the reader round up. BOOK OF CHANGE book 2 in the Custos series by savannah verte. 


                             BOOK BLURB



    Adelia Hemstock’s tenure as Keeper cannot end fast enough. She’s been looking over her shoulder since day one and she’s sure she recognizes a few faces in the crowd now. When the book is taken from the safest place she knows, Adelia comes face to face with a new reality, and her Custos.

Rourke Templest has secretly guarded the book, and Adelia, for more than half of her lifetime. In the wrong place at the wrong time, the book is taken on his watch and he must emerge from the shadows to reclaim it, or get Adelia to New Orleans and secured. If White Diamond has the book, they absolutely cannot have the only person currently able to read it.

The feisty Keeper Rourke has only known from a distance until now, is a complication to the job that must be done. With only forty-eight hours to act, Adelia’s world turns upside down as they race to recover the book leaving a trail of murder, conspiracy, cover up, and chaos in their wake.

Can they recover it in time? Not even the Keeper knows.
                    MY REVIEW
   Adelia's time as keeper of the book is about to come to an end. Adelia has been looking over her shoulder for way too long and now that her time is coming to an end, new faces are starting to pop up all over the place. Until the day the book is taken and her and Rourke have to find the book so it can be passed on to the next guardian. Will they be able to do it or will the white diamond or the world will be turned upside down. 
 Adelia is a wonderful character; she is sweet and kind, but she is also feisty and stronger than she realizes.   Rourke has been taking care of the book for almost all of her life and for most of it he has been hidden in the shadows. He is a tough guy with a heart of gold who is willing to do anything to get the book back from the White Diamonds. They are very well written and you will love them and you want them to succeed and find their lives after the book. We also get to see more of the member of the White Diamond who are well trying everything to get the book. They are out for themselves to change the world. Each character is well written and complex. 
 This is one of those books that you will get lost in. The author paints an epic back drop in New Orleans, the story unfolds, and we get taken for an emotional ride throughout her life. I really got sucked into the story and the characters and I loved how it ended. I can't wait to see how things go in book three. If you want a great series that has the balance of good and evil at the for front check it out.

GOOD DAY ALL IT IS TIME FOR BOOK EIGHT

  Good afternoon peeps, it is time for book eight in the reader round up. Today I have for you the second book in the Les Voleurs trilogy ANDREAS by Dixie Painter. 


                       BOOK BLURB 



  Welcome to Les Voleurs. Step into the world of the deadly Syndicate, joining them in the beautiful country of Belgium. Follow them from Brussels to Antwerp and places in between. Take a forbidden journey into the dark, dangerous life of those who live by their own laws.

Andreas Aaldenberg

They say to “give the Devil his due.” Well, I’m the collector. The Devil’s Chief Enforcer. I belong to the Les Voleurs Syndicate by blood, oath, and loyalty. My responsibilities are many, but keeping the Baas, and his new wife safe is at the top of my list. To do that, I have to finish eradicating the last of the snakes that make up the Lefevre Syndicate. I can’t afford any distractions in my life. I definitely can’t have the kind of distraction that comes in the form of a blond-haired, blue-eyed angel. Falling in love was a luxury; I didn’t have room, or time, for luxuries in my life, no matter how tempting he was.

Leopold Muyskens

At 30, I’d left behind the family spotlight for the title of Chef de Cuisine at a 3-Michelin-Star restaurant in Belgium. I’d earned my place at the top and I had a life I enjoyed living; until I was almost murdered outside my restaurant one night. Then he came out of the darkness. My very own dark angel. I don’t fit into his world, but I do fit into his arms. I’m under his protection until he says I’m safe. Maybe it’s the adrenaline rush of staying alive, but I don’t think I want to leave him. Is he worth the risks that come from stepping into the dangerous world of Les Voleurs?


                       MY REVIEW
 Welcome back to the family. Andreas is one of the top enforcers in the Les Voleur syndicate. He is the right-hand man to Davet and Lillane but he is lonely and doesn't think that he deserves a love. Until the birthday party that Davet and Lillane threw and a chance meeting to a young chef catering the party. He can't get Leopold out of his mind and then one night he saves Leopold from an attempted murder and then desires take over and two lonely men decide if their love is worth being part of the Les Voleurs. 

 In book two it is all about Andreas, the tall sexy enforcer who will kill you just as look at you. He is all about business but there is a loneliness to him that you can't deny. He wants more and you pray that he gets it. He is tall and burly just like a good alpha male is. Leo is the total opposite to Andreas; he is sweet soul who is scared of almost everything.  He is a chef and wants to find a love. When they are together it is like night and day, you really get to see Leo blossom and a softer side of Andreas. They are such a fun couple, and they deserve each other. We also get to see the rest of the family back and better than ever. 

 I couldn't wait to dive into Andrea's story he made such a impact in book one. I wanted to see if he finally got his love. I was so excited when I sat down and started reading. The characters are so well written and complex. It has some hot sexy times but there is more to the story and there is love building between these two men. It is a fun fast read that will have you on the edge of your seat action with some great sexy times. Check it out you will love these guys.

GOOD MORNING ALL

  Good morning peeps today I have a new series for you from Hp Mallory and J.R Rain. SHOTGUNS AND SHIFTERS book one in the Trailer Park Vampire series. This is not included in reader roundup.


                             BOOK BLURB 



 The day the red fog rolled in, everything in Windy Ridge changed.

Neighbors and friends I’d grown up with got turned into wolfmen, lizardmen, gargoyles, and other unmentionables.

As for me? I got turned into a vampire.

Most folk thought the rapture was upon us but soon it was fairly obvious that we weren’t playing witness to some holy event. In fact, I was fairly sure we’d just witnessed something mostly unholy.

Regardless, life in our little town in the middle of the Ozarks returned to what passed for normal.

Until two human outsiders rolled into town.

Because I was one of few residents who still appeared human, I was responsible for making sure the town went into hiding until them humans moved right on out again.

But what I wasn’t planning on was the fact that one of the strangers was none other than Dean Hawke, a man I hadn’t seen in twenty-three years—a man who also happened to be my high-school sweetheart.

But wait. There’s more…

Not only had my ex-boyfriend walked right back into my sorry life, but he was also the newly appointed ‘Sheriff of Windy Ridge’—and his first assignment was investigating accounts of a naked man who was terrorizing locals.

Now if that weren’t enough to ruin a vamp’s day, Sheriff Dean Hawke had, like George Clooney, only gotten better with age, and I was pretty sure all those real deep looks he kept giving me had their own kind of meaning.

But between trying to keep the town’s secret under wraps, spearheading my own investigation into the naked man with a bunch of hillbilly monster chasers, working my shift as a waitress at the local diner, and trying to smother my ardor for a certain human sheriff, I’m thinking life might be easier if I packed up my daughter and caught the next train to Transylvania, leaving Windy Ridge far, far behind.

                         MY REVIEW
    In the small town of Windy Ridge things have not been the same since the red fog rolled in. Things changed for the residents, once the fog rolled out people well, they were changed into wolfmen, lizard people and other things that could be part of your nightmares. They keep to themselves and run the town like normal until the day two humans come to town, sheriff Dean Hawke, Twila's ex-boyfriend, who is trying to figure out who the naked man is that is terrorizing local people. Will Twila keep the specialness of the locals a secret and will she be able to keep her ex from finding out she is a vampire. 

   Ok let's talk about these fabulous characters. Twila is one of them, just a woman working hard to raise her daughter and have a good life. There is just one thing different with Twila, she is a vampire and a guardian of the town.  Dean is the ex-boyfriend and the new sheriff. He is tall and swoon worthy, and kind of broody. They are the perfect pair, but they don't really see it. There is a mystery to solve, and they are the two to do it. I can't believe how much fun all these characters are. so many to mention but we do get to see them all throughout the book. Each character is written with a great deal of care. You will fall in love with all of them. 

  This is the first book in a new series, and I couldn't wait to dive into it. I couldn't put it down the story is just fun, and the characters are so well written.  I honestly don't know what goes through these two authors minds when they sit down to write but keep it up. The stories they come up with have such vivid stories and characters you can't help but get attached and wanting more. So, if you want a good new fun series check it out, you will be laughing all the way through the book.

TIME FOR BOOK SEVEN AND WE ARE BRINGING ON THE SEXY

  Good morning my peeps it is storming here on the farm, so I decided to heat things up a bit for book seven in reader round up. ISLE OF SIN by S Firecox. 


                        BOOK BLURB 



  There are three rules on Sinners Isle.

Submit
Obey.
Consent.

Adalyn Rose didn’t consent.
And the one who brought her here paid the ultimate price.
Now she’s mine to care for. Mine to train. Mine to protect.

A sweet little heiress with a heart of gold.
And a body built for sin.

She’ll kneel for me because she wants to.
Then we’ll explore her limits.

Assuming her past doesn’t come for us first.
Because her world of wealth and sin is filled with dark secrets.
Including one that may just cost me my life.

Turns out my isle was meant to be a training ground. For her.
I ruined the game by claiming her as mine.
This affair of seduction and intrigue just turned into a battle of survival.

But they made one crucial mistake.
They brought this fight to my island.

                     MY REVIEW 
    Asher Sinner is all about control and submission with consent. He owns Sinner's Isle where the rich can come and live out their darkest fantasies and desires. He has it all or he thought until the day he finds her floating on the waves covered in blood. His world is turned upside down when Adalyn finds her way into his protection. What he doesn't realize that there is more to this woman then meets the eye and she will be his even if it costs him his life. Will they survive to see a happily ever after with his sweet lil sub. Or will the sins of the past come back to take her away from him. 

   Asher is well he is what can we say about him. He is well basically sex on a stick, but he is also a protector. He will go to the ends of the earth to protect what is his. There is a softer side to him also that he shows to Adalyn. Adalyn well she is broken, abused for so many years by the man who was supposed to be training her to be submissive. There is a fire in her though and she is very resilient. They are so well written and complex. They truly will grab your heart.
 
 This is one of these books that go to the dark side of kink and dark fantasies. The story is gripping and complex and the characters are well written. The author really takes us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I couldn't put the book down and most of the time i was either on the edge of my seat or fanning myself. There are some trigger warnings about the book that include knife play. So, if you want a dark sexy standalone check, it out.

IT IS TIME FOR BOOK SIX

  Good morning my peeps, today I have a great mystery book for you today.  CAN'T STOP THE FUNK ( book 3 in the Detective Cadillac Holland Mystery series) by H Max Hiller. 


                       BOOK BLURB 



  The hurricane that riveted the world's attention has become the recovery nobody cares about. Five years have passed since a wall of water tried to wash away the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans, and now the plans of a handful of real estate developers is threatening to finish the storm's displacement of the city's poorest residents. NOPD’s Chief of Detectives wants to know who is trying to buy the new home the Make It Right Foundation built for his favorite sous chef. Chief Avery is willing to risk the unintended consequences of having Detective "Cadillac" Holland find out who is behind the offer. It’s an election year and condominium developers and the local king of gentrification have the backing of the district's City Councilwoman. It’s up to Detective Holland, despite his ‘talent’ for making a mess of things, to find the justice in something that isn’t even a crime while he avoids stirring the city’s treacherous political waters.


                     MY REVIEW

   In the aftermath of hurricane Katrina detective Holland is working on who is trying to buy the home that was built by a relief group. Chef Avery is ready to let Cadillac find out what is going on. It is time to get to the bottom of what is going on, even in an election year. It is time to find out what is going on while not trying to get involved in the murky political waters of New Orleans. 

   In book three of the series, we find detective Holland taking on the political agenda. Cadillac is a laid-back kind of guy who would sometimes just wants to hang out at his restaurant eating good food. He can figure out what is happening by just talking to the person over a good meal. He has a knack of knocking people off kilter with just a smile and a good talk. He has so many people around him to help him out on his cases. The characters are well constructed and complex. 

 This is one of those books that when you sit down to read be prepared to be lost in the story. I couldn't put it down until I got finished and that meant a very late night reading in bed. The characters are well written and complex and the story flows well. I love how the author uses the backdrop of New Orleans and the hurricane Katrina disaster. New Orleans is like its own character in the story. There is also a lot of talk of food and eating throughout this book, so have a snack with you because you will get hungry. This is a series is a fun read that will have you on the edge of your seat throughout. Check it out if you want a good detective book.

BOOK FIVE OF READER ROUND UP

  Good morning all my peeps, I have a mafia romance book for book five in the reader round up. DAVET (Les Voleurs trilogy) by Dixie Pointer. 


                         BOOK BLURB 



   Davet de Wees

I’m called de Duivel. The Devil.

I govern Les Voleurs Syndicate with the same harsh rules and code of honor that have governed my life since I was a kid. I worked my way from the streets to this place of power, and now the respectability of my syndicate is at stake because I am lacking a wife. I’ve reluctantly agreed to entertain the thought, but I don’t want a vapid piece of arm candy that was traded in marriage to strengthen bonds with another syndicate. However, when Liliane Lemaire appears with a proposition I can’t ignore, I find myself drawn to the beautiful woman, tempted by all she can bring me. But trust is something I don’t often give, and I’m worried that she’s going to lead me down a dangerous path, one that can ultimately destroy me.

Liliane Lemaire

My father has sold me into marriage once already. He’s a ruthless criminal that cares about nothing save power, money, and creating fear in those around him. I lived surrounded by that fear, allowing myself to be traded into what I thought was meant to secure a bond between my father and my husband. But then the unthinkable happened, and I found myself back in my father’s evil clutches. He wants me to do something nefarious, and if I don’t agree, he’s going to send me straight to the Block, a human trafficking auction ran by my father. I’m done being used, and I’m determined to bring him down, even if it kills me. My only hope is to join forces with 

                      MY REVIEW
   Lillane is running for her life, from a father that wants to sell her off to the highest bidder. All he wants is power, money. What does she do she goes to the enemy and pledges her life to him and all the secrets that she knows about her family organization. Enter Davet the head of the Les Voleurs syndication. The attraction is mutual, and they form an alliance that will take down the rivals. When she is stolen Davet will burn down the world to get her back. 

    This is one of those books that you don't know who to cheer for, but you will love all the characters. Lillane is a woman who is caught between a rock and a hard place. She is tough and resilient. Davet is ruthless but he does have a soft side to him especially when it comes to Lillane. He is strong and sexy and will burn the world for the ones he loves.  They are both such strong characters in their own rights but when together they are unstoppable. There are so many supporting characters that are there to keep them safe.  They are all such well written and complex characters. 

   I really got sucked into this book, I really liked the main characters and got invested in them from the beginning. I read this book in an evening and was on the edge of my seat the whole entire time. I will warn you that there are some scenes of violence and some very sexy times also.  The author tells a great story with great characters. If you want a good series that will have you on the edge of your seat and let you fall in love. This is the series for you check it out I promise you will not be disappointed
