ONE WEEK AND A LITTLE BIT UNTIL CHRISTIMAS

  Sorry I have been not around for a bit , its been busy on the farm between reading and getting ready for Christmas its been awhile. Today I have for you book 4 in the Daughters of the Moon series THE LOVERS  by Hp Mallory, 

                        BOOK BLURB



 KATE

After I made the terrible decision to become a Daughter of the Moon, I didn’t think things could get much worse. But now they are worse. Way, way worse.

When Ezra Blackthorn’s Army of Shadows attacks, I get airlifted by what looks like a pterodactyl (and I’m pretty sure its claws feel comparable) and find myself imprisoned in a place called The Obsidian.   And The Obsidian is about as welcoming as the name might imply.  Soon I meet Ezra who also happens to be public enemy #1. While Ezra looks about as intimidating as a high school math teacher before his morning coffee, Ezra’s bite is lots worse than his bark.  At least I’m not alone here—in a place that looks like it was decorated by Hades.  Valerian is here too. And I’m still trying to figure out whose side he’s on—Ezra’s, ours or his own…
   Oh, yeah, and we’re both trying to escape, because I have a feeling we won’t like the plans Ezra has in store for us. If that weren’t enough to ruin a girl’s day, I’ve just been tasked with my next tarot mission—that of The Lovers. Right. While I’m in the middle of attempting to escape Mordor, my aunt Artemis wants me to learn some crap about love and relationships.  Between dodging Ezra, surviving the Obsidian, and tackling impossible tarot missions, my love life is the least of my problems… but knowing my luck, it’s probably the one that’ll get me killed.


                       MY REVIEW 
 Kate and the gang are back and trying to figure out who she can trust. When Ezra finally finds them Kate is taken to Obsidian where she is given the new tarot card of the lovers. Now while she is trying to figure what she is to learn from the card and what to do with Ezra and Valerian and what side he is actually on. Now will she figure out how to get out of the jail and the lesson that Aunt Artemis is trying to teach her at the same time . 

  Kate well she is really stuck between a rock and a hard place this time around. The evil is coming she isn't really ready. She does a lot of procrastinating and well just trying to figure out how to get out of being a daughter of the moon. When she is taken she just sits there and feels sorry for herself for a bit but then she does realizes its her that will get herself out of the problem that she has gotten herself into. Lessons are learned and alliances are formed. Valerian well you just don't know what to do about him you don't know if you can trust him or not. He is very good looking and has so many secrets . You want to love him but or hate him. We also get to meet Ezra an enemy of the daughters of the moon and he wants Kate. He is like a wolf in sheep's clothing . He can be charming and oh so smooth but deep down he is one scary man. Each character is well written and getting more and more complex with each story. I did wish that we got to see more Yolanda and Rocco in this episode cause they are my all time favorite characters. I mean a sassy talking goat and his shrunken head best friend who wouldn't want to read that. 

 This is the 4th book in the series and we get to dive a bit deeper into the characters. The story is a fun fast read that we get to see more about them. The author takes us on a fun filled ride. Loving the direction the author is taking the characters and the interactions between them all. I can't wait to see where they are going to end up. A great fun series to read over the Christmas season.

HAPPY RELEASE WEEK

  Good morning peeps . its release week for Lydia Michaels and her newest book in the Calamity Rayne series.  CALAMITY RAYNE KNOCKED UP  is book 5 in the series 


                          BOOK BLURB



 What do you get when a billionaire control freak and an awkward hot mess decide it’s time to make a baby? Pure chaos—and perhaps more than turkey in the oven this  Thanksgiving.

Rayne thought getting pregnant would be easy. But between Hale’s busy schedule and his affinity for kink (the kind that absolutely does not lead to procreation), their baby-making escapades have gone from a one-and-done bedding to a hilariously hot adventure in family planning. 

Hale is used to getting his way, but his patience is tested when their love nest turns into a pressure cooker, and success isn’t immediate. As things heat up, Calamity’s careful planning goes up in flames—literally! With several sides of stuffing and enough dirty talk to make Santa blush, this laugh-out-loud raunch-com will surely warm readers’ hearts this holiday!


                     MY REVIEW 

 Rayne and Hale are back and life has been amazing, well until the day they decide that they want to add to the family. In typical Rayne fashion things don't go as planned, with Hale busy and Rayne over thinking and freaking out things don't go as planned. Until that one day after a trip to a Reiki specialist things change and well Thanks giving is one for the books . 

 Rayne is back and making everyone laugh with her antics . She hasn't really calmed down since getting married. She still isn't comfortable in her own skin and still thinks that everyone is out to get her in some way. She is funny and kind of neurotic which does make you laugh so hard . Over all she has a heart of gold and loves with her whole heart to everyone that she comes in contact in. Hale well he is a control freak that is kind of grumpy most of the time . He loves Rayne with his whole heart and keeps her on an even keel . Together they are the perfect balance for each other . The rest of the family is back and funnier than ever. 

  This is one of those books that will have you laughing so hard the tears will be running down your face. The author really likes to put her characters through so much before getting their happily ever after . This is a fun rom - com with some nice spice . The characters are wonderful . Its like going home again. So if you want a fun series check out Calamity Rayne.

WELCOME TO THE LAST DAY OF READER ROUNDUP

   Good morning my peeps , we made it to the last day of reader round up. Today I have for you book 2 in the Magical Forces series by Hope Daniels and Alicia Dawn HELL ON THE HEART. 


                          BOOK BLURB



 Secrets.

Everyone has them.

Everyone keeps them for various reasons.
As a witch with power over water, Anna wants her secrets to stay in the past where they belong. All she desires is to enjoy the present, but what she thought was buried long ago, has found a nasty way of coming back to bite her.
So hold on tight. Not only is her big bad secret back, but it’s hungry and Anna looks like the perfect entree for dinner.

Pete has secrets of his own. As a Djinn, he is skilled and powerful enough to cajole Anna to tell him hers, although he knows he may have to confess up some of his own deep dark nightmares. When she learns his secrets will she still look at him the same way? Or will she take a chance on what could be? Not that it matters. Pete isn’t ready to let her go. She is his soul mate whether she is ready to admit it or not. He will make her realize they are meant to be together, even if he has to follow her to hell to do so.
    Will their secrets destroy what they could be before they have the chance to begin?
                        MY REVIEW 
 Secrets have a way of rearing their ugly heads at the most unwise time. Anna is a water witch and she has secrets that she really wants to stay hidden. But, there is one horrible secret that is coming back to haunt her. Pete a djinn has his own deep dark secret and is scared that if Anna found out , she might run or hopefully take a chance on. Together they are stronger to beat the darkness that is about to hit them head on. 

  The characters are so much fun to read. Pete is a djinn and a sweet and oh so alpha guy. He is also so much more. He is powerful and ready to battle whatever may come. Anna is sweet and headstrong  in some ways because of her past and has feeling of guilt because of it. We also get to meet Newt a cat shifter who is so hilarious but deadly. Tessa has to be my favorite character, she is a witch with an old soul and a wild sense of style. She is so funny especially when she is around Newt, They are a fun couple a great balance to the hotness of Pete and Anna. All these characters are so much fun to read and they are well written and complex.

  This is one of those books where you have secrets coming to light and history repeating itself .   The authors really take the characters through so many twists and turns through out the story.  There is mystery and romance and friends to lovers story with so much fun and action. This is a story that you can read in a weekend. I do suggest your read book one so you get a better understanding of the characters. So if you want a good read for your winter reading list.

GOOD MORNING READERS

   Good morning my peeps , we are on the second last day of reader round up. Today we are heading to college and E.A Weston's book UNWRITTEN. 


                           BOOK BLURB



 Jett Miller, Captain of the Mavericks hockey team doesn’t do relationships. College is hard enough with hockey and studying. He has no time for chicks that want to take selfies, know his deepest secrets, or those that want more than one night. Until he finds himself locking lips with the one person he’s always disliked, Amber, the one chick he was good at avoiding, who used date one of his team mates. Clearly, he didn’t think that one through because now he’s had a taste, he can’t stop thinking about it. When he learns that she’s on the prowl to hook up, he promises to watch out for her, but the last thing he expected was to have her in his bed. Two adults. One night.No Strings.But one night is not enough for him and now he’s determined to have Amber in his bed every night, maybe she isn’t as stuck-up as he thought and maybe a relationship is just what he needs.


                       MY REVIEW 
 Jett Miller a hockey star and college senior really doesn't do relationships. He has to concentrate on his classes and really isn't interested in a long term relationship. That is until he meets Amber and ends up kissing her. Once he has a taste he wants more . Amber is not ready for a relationship after what happened in the summer. They have a one night stand and things change . Jett wants more and Amber is scared but willing to try. Will this be the relationship that they both deserve and need . 

  Jett is your typical alpha, he is arrogant and self absorbed but there is a soft side to him and he is more aware of what is going on around him . He just wants to find a sweet girl that doesn't take selfies and aren't self absorbed . Someone that he can have a conversation with and honestly love with his heart. Amber is a fun loving girl who is like sunshine but there is a sadness about her and she is gun shy about relationships. She is fun but also tough as she takes a lot from Jett's team mates on and off the ice . The guys on the hockey team and Amber's best friend keep Jett and Amber on the straight and narrow to get together.  Each character is well written and you feel like you get to know them and their feelings very well through out the book. 

  This is a easy read that you can read in an evening . There is romance and a misunderstanding oh and parents that well aren't the best . The characters are well written and you start to fall for both of them and want to cheer for them as the navigate the trials of being together. This would be a good book for your winter reading list . Check it out if you love hockey players and the woman who can melt the ice for them .

3 DAYS OF READER ROUND UP LEFT

  Good morning peeps I have 3 books left for you for this falls reader roundup. Todays book is by a new to me author Larynn Ford and her book INTO THE LIGHT 


                           BOOK BLURB 



Born and raised in the Faerie realm of incessant darkness, Kheelan Sincleir's present and future changes when he stumbles through a portal into the human world filled with light and into the arms of the woman of his dreams.

Single mom, Jamie Kramer leads a simple life . . . work, raising her daughter, and work. The victim of a seemingly random late-night attack, Jamie finds her trouble is only beginning. Kheelan steps in to lend a hand and support her through her ongoing problems but the stress causes her to push away from him and rethink the relationship.

Kheelan's worries are compounded when evil from his past reaches out to capture and force him back to the dark realm for eternity. He must take steps to eliminate the danger to both his worlds. 

Can he deal with the threat on his life and convince Jamie to give love a chance?


                        MY REVIEW 

 Kheelan has been running for his life , his whole life has been lived in the realm of the fairies in the dark court. Until the day he finds a portal to the human world and tumbles through it. Where he finds the woman who fulfills his dreams and lights up his life .  But the darkness is out to find him and try and rip him back to the realm where he will stay for eternity . Will he be able to stay in the light and convince Jamie to give love a chance . 

 Kheelan has come from a world of darkness and just feels like he is not worth it sometimes . But when he finds Jamie his life changes for the better. He is a sweet guy who well you know how it goes is holding on to some secrets . He is like a knight in shining armor in Jamie's eyes but she is gun shy after her ex and his underhanded ways of getting her to launder money for her.  They are surrounded with a cast of characters that help them along on their journey to find the happiness that they both deserve. These characters are well written and I feel that they could be a little more complex. 

  This is one of those books that had me a bit confused . The author takes us on an adventure on the human side of the realm with a love story starting . The story starts off as a sweet paranormal romance and soon goes dark with war and evil haunting them Overall I did enjoy the book and the characters but I do believe that the author could flesh out the backstory of a few things that were happening to make the characters just a little more complex and less one dimensional. Take a chance and try a book about love and romance and what love can over come to find that love .

GOOD MORNING PEEPS

  Good morning my peeps , hope you all had a great weekend and got some great books read . Today I have for you a new author to me Zrinka Jelic and her book  DANGEROUS BENEVELONCE 

                            BOOK BLURB



 Dario Vitez crawled from the brink of poverty and made a name for himself as a wealthy, successful restaurateur. Love is the only thing missing from his life. He’s never found a woman who could compare to his childhood sweetheart, Irena Novak—who was forced into a marriage of convenience and lives half a world away. Irena has secrets—dangerous secrets. She reappears in Dario’s life, on the run from her murderous husband, who will do anything to silence his wife. When Dario discovers the danger she’s in, he vows to protect her. But her psychotic husband is drawing closer by the day. If Dario loses Irena again, this time it might be forever.


                      MY REVIEW 
 There is one thing missing from Dario Vitez's life is love . He worked his way out of the depths of poverty and become a successful restauranter. Love never came his way until the day his childhood sweetheart comes back into his life after she has left the man that she was forced to marry. Dario vowed to keep Irena and their daughter safe at any cost but every day her crazy husband gets closer and closer. Will Dario be able to keep them safe or will he loose Irena forever. 

 Dario Vitez has had a life that well no one really wants. He grew up in poverty and fought tooth and nail for everything he got.  He is tough as nails but he is hiding a loneliness that has haunted him for the last fourteen years . He is tough, sexy and honestly oh so deadly. Irena is his love that was ripped away from him.  She has been through so much in the fourteen years that she was away from Dario. She is sweet but guarded and she is hiding some horrible secrets that could hurt them all . There is such a good supporting cast of characters that keep both of them safe and secure. Each character is well written and complex in their own way. 

  This is one of those books where you start reading and thrown into the action from the second page.  The characters are well written and you really start to care for them and want them to be ok. The author adds twists and turns through out the book . I just wished that the author would of dived into more of their back story so we can see how they fell in love and the heartless way they had to break up. Over all I really enjoyed this book and I am going to check out what else this author has written . So if you want a good solid book for your winter reading list . Check it out

GOOD DAY ALL ITS SATURDAY

  Good afternoon my peeps it is another day of reader roundup and today we are going to switch it up a bit and bring you a good read of bikers and the five families and the two men and one woman who want to take it legit.  SANTA MAKES THREE  by V.J Lee


                           BOOK BLURB



 A biker president, who plays Santa for sick children, an ex-fireman turned made man, and an enforcer soon to be a princess from one of the five families walk into a motorcycle club.

It’s not the start of a funny joke; no, it’s all real life.

Slaytor Rhodes, the president of Sons of Thunder MC, is a father and an ex-husband. He brings toys to sick children in his very own Santa suit and likes to think of himself as a lover. Because of who his father was, he hasn’t been able to come out and love who he wants, but now he’s getting rid of the trash sullying up his club—like all the used-up Christmas paper on Christmas day, and he doesn’t care who he upsets to do it.

The price to be with Cameron Von is worth it.

Contessa Dean (Nitti), or Tessa to her friends, and the boogie man to everyone else, has one goal in to avenge her mother’s death. If that means she gets caught up in the crossfire, then so be it. Even being a princess of one of the five families won’t save her, and she’s made peace with that. Until her father tells her she must marry Cameron Von to bring the families together—the one man who can make her lose sight of her only goal in life—vengeance. Will a Christmas miracle happen, and she’ll get everything she wished for? Her revenge, and Cam with a side of Slaytor Rhodes.

Cam, along with Slaytor, made her hope for more. Hope was deadly in her line of work.

Cameron Von loved being a firefighter, but those days crashed and burned when he stuck his neck out for a friend and was brought into the family fold permanently. If he had to be a part of the family, he’d try to clean things up and make them legit, once and for all. When his uncle tells him he must marry Contessa Nitti to bring the families together, he jumps at the chance, because he’s always secretly loved Contessa, but she’s not so happy to be his bride. Everywhere she goes, Contessa brings death with her. She’s keeping something big from him, causing her to be cold and distant. Will the Christmas spirit thaw out her heart?

If everything goes his way, he won’t have to spend another Christmas alone; he’ll spend Christmas with Contessa and Santa Daddy Slaytor.

Slaytor is his theirs, and Santa makes three. This life is no joke.



                         MY REVIEW
   Slayter is the head of one of the roughest biker gangs out there but that is just a cover for what he really does . Rescue women from the dregs of humanity and others that want to traffic them. When the unthinkable happens and Cameron the hottest man out there who entices both Slayter and Contessa the enforcer for her family who is suppose marry Cameron and unite the families but there is a secret that could put all their lives in danger. Will they be able to find the love that they deserve and will they be together and safe. 

 Ok lets throw out the naughty or nice list . I really want to be on that naughty list with Slayter aka Santa Daddy , Cameron the hotter than hot adonis and Contessa the sexy sweet enforcer with nerves of steel but underneath it all she does have a heart that beats for those two sexy men. Slayter is the head of the biker gang who dresses as Santa for the children's hospital. He is tough but does have the sweet side especially for those he loves. Contessa is a tough as nails woman who is also an enforcer for her family . She is a loner but really wants to belong to someone but the secrets that she is keeping might just get her killed. Cameron is a fire fighter who got yanked back into the family. He is charismatic and oh so sweet but also deadly. He is also the one that maybe bring them all together and safe to be themselves. Cosmos is back and well as cocky as ever. These characters are so well written and complex and you will start to care and love them. 

  Ok this book may start out like a joke come to life but it is so much more . This is a complex story with twists and turns .  There is also some fun light hearted moments especially when Grandma Ruby gets involved with all the Christmas shenanigans that are going on.  When things get really bad when Cosmo shows up to save the day. This is a story that you can read in a weekend and it is a mfm story that will have you up all night reading . So add this to your winter reading list.

WELCOME BACK TO READER ROUND UP

   Good evening my peeps , its novel week and I lost count on the days . Today I have for you NINE CANDLES OF DEEPEST BLACK  by Matthew S Cox . 


                         BOOK BLURB



 She saw it coming. She knew it would happen―but no one believed her.

Almost a year after tragedy shattered her family, sixteen-year-old Paige Thomas can’t break free from her guilt. Her mother ignores her, doting on her annoying little sister, while her father is a barely-functioning shell. He hopes a move to the quiet little town of Shadesboro PA will help them heal, but Paige doesn’t believe in happiness anymore.

On her first day at school, a chance encounter with a bullied eighth grader reawakens a gift Paige had forgotten, and ingratiates her into a pack of local outcasts. For weeks, they’ve been trying to cast a ritual to fulfill their innermost desires, but all they’ve done is waste time. After witnessing Paige touch the Ouija board and trigger a paranormal event, the girls are convinced another try with their new fifth member will finally work.

Once the darkness is unleashed, it’s not long before they learn it will give them exactly what they asked for―whether they want it or not.

                       MY REVIEW
   After a year and a move to a new town. Paige is still having guilt over what happened to her older sister., her mother ignores her and spends all her time with her little sister,  her dad is barely hanging on and Paige just doesn't want to be there in that town. On her first day of school she meets a girl who is being bullied and some friends that are outcasts . They try and do some magic to give them their innermost desires . Until one day Paige touches the Ouija board and something dark comes back and when the darkness is unleashed and the girls get what they want even if they didn't want it . Will they survive the darkness and come out the other side unharmed . 
  Paige is a sweet girl who can sense when things can happen . She is carrying a lot of guilt with her as she knew what was going to happen before it happened about her sister dying. Noone believed her at the time. She is honestly a lot stronger then she realizes and when push comes to shove she will stand up to the darkness that is coming for them all. Her friends range from Renee to Mackenzie and they are all sweet but have had some hard times in their young lives . Each character is very well written and complex . You really just want to wrap them up in a warm blanket and hug them tight. 
   This is one of those books it is a ya story but anyone could read it. It has twists and turns that had me on the edge of your seat. The author crafts a tale that will give you the goose bumps . It so reminds me of a combination of Pretty Little liars and the Craft the way the girls are and what they do to survive. I really like the way this author writes . So if you want a book that will have you up late into the night and your teen will love it too.

ITS NOW BOOK WEEK ON READER ROUND UP DAY 1

  Hey I am back for another read for you . Its novel week here for reader roundup. Today's book is MONSTROUS THINGS by Gabriella Messina. 


                          BOOK BLURB 



 As the 20th century looms, a new kind of criminal is born… and the gods and heroes of the ancient world rise once more…

London, 1888. The city on the Thames lives in terror conjured by a madman dubbed “the Ripper.”

For Dr. Linus Hopkins, the brutal East End murders captivate his attention, luring him into the dark byways of Whitechapel… and into the path of the mysterious woman who bursts through his door one evening. At once, the young physician finds himself involved in an ancient battle between Good and Evil… a battle in which he must play a unique and timeless role, side-by-side with a legendary killer of men…

Raped by a god and cursed by a goddess, she has walked the Earth alone for millennia.

Years of solitude have hardened Medusa, and the loveliest of the Gorgons has long since resigned herself to her fate… until she meets Linus Hopkins. The young doctor is courageous, intelligent, and more than he seems… As evil stalks the women of Whitechapel, this unlikely pair must join forces to defeat the monstrous things among them… and face their ultimate destinies together.

Monstrous Things explores the legendary story of Jack the Ripper from a fresh, fantastic perspective. Featuring a cast of gods, titans, monsters, and historical persons, Monstrous Things blends fact and fiction and is perfect for fans of urban fantasy, historical fantasy, crime fiction, and adventure novels.

                       MY REVIEW 
 London in 1880 is under attack by a mad man named the Ripper.  Dr Linus Hopkins is working late one night when a mysterious woman walks into his office and sets off a string of events that will bring the old greek gods back to the forefront . Medusa and Linus must figure out who is the Ripper and also face the destinies that have been laid out for them. Will they be to find the Ripper and fulfill the destiny. 

  Ok we are jumping in off the deep end here. This is a book where Greek mythology and lore and the story of Jack the Ripper are entwined. LInus is a sweet man who is drawn into the mysterious murders that have been happening . He wants to figure out what is happening and if he can help stop them. He is kind of a loner and shy but he has a destiny to fulfill that he doesn't want to but in the end does . Medusa we know her back story but there is more to her and she has been through so much in her life when she was alive . She is a complex character who is on a mission to figure out the murderer's next step. Together they make such a good team and they go head to head with some of Greeks most powerful titans . gods and monsters and historical persons. They are so well written and complex you really want to cheer for both Medusa and Linus. 

  This is a complex story combining lore and historical story that shook a era.  The author truly makes the characters come alive and the story line has so many twists and turns that kept me entertained through out the book .  The author has a good grasp on the characters and it was such a fun read that kept me entertained . I read this book in an evening but you could easily finish it in one or two days . So if you want a book to end of the Halloween night with this is the story for you .

HAPPY RELEASE WEEK TO LINDA THOMAS - SUNDSTROM

   Good morning my peeps , it is release week for Linda Thomas - Sundstrom and her new sweet paranormal sweet romance  TALL... DARK .. AND DEAD. 


                           BOOK BLURB 



   Death might be just the beginning…

Apprentice reporter Amy has proposed an article she hopes will enhance her career. But “Hauntings in Grenville” might prove a little more challenging than she hoped when she visits Grenville Cemetery on the night of a full moon.

Simon Caldwell, Caretaker of the Grenville’s Cemetery, manages the spirits that remain close to the earthly plane and refuse to face their final destination. But he has had the job for a century, and longs for true companionship….especially with Amy.

                       MY REVIEW 
 Grenville Cemetery is one of the most haunted places in Grenville and Amy is going to write the article that could send her career to the next level. But, what she didn't know is that going to the cemetery on a full moon could change her life for ever. Simon Caldwell has been the care taker of the cemetery for as long as he can remember, he keeps the ghosts, that are too stubborn to leave. When he sees Amy standing in the cemetery , his longing for his true companion and Amy is the person that can break the spell. 
  Amy and Simon are characters that will have you falling and praying that they can be together. Amy is a sassy, sweet girl who is trying to enhance her career. She can also see ghosts that well kind of freaks her out at first. Especially when she meets the tall, dark and sweet Simon, a gate keeper of the dead . He is tall and mysterious and holding a longing to be with the one woman who can help release him. These are such sweet characters and you want them to have a happily ever after . We also get to meet some ghosts that are diverse and you will get a giggle out of their antics. 
  This book is proof that you can have a romance story and not have to have a bedroom scene .  This is a sweet story with a gothic sense to it . The characters are well written and complex and a joy to read . A nice story to read in an evening , maybe while you are handing out candy tonight . This author has a way of writing that draws you in and keeps you turning pages until you are done . I hope she writes more about the cemetery and the characters that are inside. A great Halloween read if you want some romance with your ghosts . Check it out.

GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO DAY 7

  Good morning my peeps , I am back with the last day of novellas. Had some great reads this past week and we are going to end them with G MARKS THE SPOT by Mellanie Szreto. 


                             BOOK BLURB



 The maid of honor. The best man. A wedding meet-cute with a few hitches.

Her younger brother’s destination wedding forces interior designer Gretchen Pane (40) on a vacation in snowy Maine. A reservation glitch ruins her plans for a quiet recharge before her next project. But being stuck with the best man and one bed definitely has its perks, even if she’s losing the fight with her feelings and the whole situation is a big cliché.

Restoration specialist Geoffrey Reston (35) is focused on moving his business, not improving his love life, after his best friend’s wedding. Although sharing a cabin with the maid of honor might not have been on his radar, he isn’t complaining. Falling in love with her isn’t on the agenda, despite what his heart thinks.

Will what happens in Maine during a snowstorm stay in Maine? Or will they find the sweet spot of happily-ever-after?


                      MY REVIEW 
 What do you do when you are headed to your younger brothers wedding in Maine, during a nor easter. You get stuck in a cabin with the best man and things  well things get toasty warm in so many ways. Gretchen thought she could relax while at her brother's wedding but a glitch has her sharing a room with the hot best man Geoffery. Things are great until hearts fall and past hurts are brought up and one will run and one will try and win them back. 

 Geoffery and Gretchen are both are trying to navigate the highs and lows of what it is like to find the one that they are destined to be with. Gretchen is a sassy 40 yr old who has had a very bad past and isn't wanting to find love again.  Geoffery is a sweet guy and boy he is hot . He wears his heart on his sleeve and really tries to listen to Gretchen and wants to be the best for her but she is so stubborn and so trying not to let him get to her heart. They both are so stubborn you really just want to shake them both until they realize that they want each other . We also get to watch her meddling brother and new sister n law try and weave their magic over them to fall in love; 

  This is one of those fun reads where we have two people who want to fall in love with each other but things from their pasts are stopping them. I mean who doesn't want to get stuck in a cabin in Maine with a hot man for a fun time . The author has such a fun time with them. I read this book in an evening and had such a blast reading . There are some laugh out loud moments with such fun characters . Everyone does have those people that want you to be happy and will do anything to try and help you out. So if you like fun characters with hearts of gold and finally finding love at a little later in life . This is a novella for you , add it to your winter reading list and have a fun fast read.

ITS DAY 5


  Good morning my peeps , it is day 5 of reader round up and today I have for you book 14 in the Wiccan Haus series CLAIMING TRINITY  by Kali Willows 


                            BOOK BLURB


 Tears of blood…

Trinity is the last of her bloodline and cursed with a bizarre ability for a banshee. Living a mundane façade, and using her empathic gifts, she becomes a psychologist who helps her clients work through their own grief—or at least she does until her life takes a sinister twist. Soon after the murder of her uncle, her traumatic past comes back to haunt her. An unexpected offer of help comes from the Rowan siblings when she receives a ticket to the Wiccan Haus for a much needed retreat, along with some sizzling adventure she doesn’t bank on. The evil that stalks her has bigger plans than anyone on the island realizes.

Two heroes with a dark past…
Arawn, an Immortal, rises up against his namesake and abdicates his throne to the Underworld. Conflicted between his lineage of war and vengeance and his desire to protect those in need, he serves on the Para Elite Forces. Kane, a tortured soul with a profound fear of showing anyone his gargoyle form, is forever indebted to his best friend. They attend the Wiccan Haus for additional security training, but an unexpected run-in with a voluptuous white-haired beauty brings about a change of assignment—and sleeping quarters. How will they maintain the safety and wellbeing of this mystifying woman from looming threats, while battling their deep-seated desire for her?

Welcome back to the Wiccan Haus. Where the staff have some unusual quirks and the herbal tea is sometimes more than you bargain for. The proprietors always do their best to make the resort a place of healing and peace. It’s also a place some never want to leave!

                                          MY REVIEW
 Trinity is the last of her bloodlines, she is living in the mortal world under the guise of being a therapist . She can delve into people's minds to help them with their problems. But lately she has been haunted by scary dreams of her past and after her uncle dies her dreams take on a scary twist that she just can't shake. So off to Wiccan Haus she goes to see if they can help with what is happening to her . When she crashes into two of the hottest men out there. Arawn and Kane two super naturals that will do anything to keep her safe . Will they be able to figure out what is going on with Trinity and what is attacking her and also will they be able to keep her for themselves as their mate .
   Ok lets dive in, these characters are so well written. Arawn and Kane well they are hot and also have a sweet side. Arawn is an immortal who gave up his throne in the underworld and honestly is fighting guilt of his lineage of war and being a good guy and helping people out . He is the fun guy always cheering people up and making them laugh. Kane is well he is a gargoyle and really broody and kind of scared to let people see his gargoyle side . He is scared that he could scare people away with the way he looks . He will do anything to keep those he cares for safe. Trinity is well she is a riddle, she has been through so much loosing those who she loves. She is part empath and part banshee and having trouble controlling her powers . With the help of Arawn, Kane and the rest of the staff they will help her and figure out what is going on hopefully. These guys are so well written its like you really want to meet them and hang out with them on the beach. 
  This is a book I didn't know I needed to read , I mean I have never read a gargoyle book before and I must say I really liked it . The author mixes humor, mystery and romance through out this book . The characters are well written and complex and you will laugh through out . There are twists and turns that will have you reading all night .So if you want a good evening read for those cold nights coming up check it out.

WELCOME BACK TO DAY 4 OF READER ROUNDUP

  Good afternoon peep I am back with another novella for you. This afternoon I have for you a m/m shifter romance CHERISHED BY THE DRAGON  by K.R Hall


                            BOOK BLURB



 Mustang shifter Jayden Garcia and dragon shifter Todd Dahlstrom were toddlers when they met in the same hospital room. Todd’s mother couldn’t soothe her frightened son and stop the boy’s uncontrollable crying. Jayden crawled into his bed and wrapped his arms around him. Todd quieted as he leaned into Jayden.

Too young to understand what was happening, their inner animals instinctively knew they were destined for each other, and their mothers vowed to keep them together.

When they reach puberty, they learn that Todd is unable to shift. His dragon soul has been stripped away, leaving him vulnerable to human diseases.

As adults, Jayden joins the Shifter Army while Todd takes his place in the family business. Todd turns to two surrogate mothers to help him and Jayden have the family they always dreamed of.

What will happen when Jayden and Todd are faced with the ultimate test of their bond? Todd needs a transplant, or he will die.
                       MY REVIEW 
 Jayden and Todd met when they were just kids but Jayden knew that they were mates from the beginning. One is a mustang shifter and the other a dragon shifter. They are best friends and grow more and more in love as they grew things happen that send them in different directions but they are still together . After they find out Todd's dragon isn't there , Todd ends up with some human diseases that could ultimately kill him. With the love of Jayden and the help of their children, through surrogates, they just might have the happily ever after they all want and need. 

   Jayden and Todd are the sweetest of men. They both knew from the beginning that they belonged together. Jayden is the tough but sweet guy who would do anything for his love.  Todd is the sweetest of men a little more on the tender side than Jayden but he completes Jayden. They are cute together and well written and they are surrounded by great characters. 

  This is one of those read in an evening stories that will have you going awwww through out . The author takes us through their lives from being kids to adults . I wish the story was a little bit more in depth, and the author would of went into more detail on why Todd lost his dragon, and them trying to find it. Over all I really enjoyed this story . So if you want a read for your winter evenings check it out.
