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.
