      Good evening peeps tonight I have a fun series for you first book in the FORCES OF NATURE series HURRICANE REESE by R.L Merrill

                               BOOK BLURB



The life of Tony-winning musician Reese Matheson resembles a natural disaster, and caregiver Jude De La Torre is caught in the eye of the storm. But can the love of two opposites survive caring for an ornery octogenarian with wayward balls and a meddling family insistent upon tradition?

Fresh off the successful London run of his musical, the last thing Reese expects when he comes home is a house surrounded by paparazzi and his girlfriend throwing his stuff into the pool. All he wants to do is spend time with his beloved grandfather and musical mentor who suffers from Alzheimer’s. Reese knows he doesn’t have much time left before the elder Matheson forgets who he is. In classic “Hurricane Reese” form, he moves into the cottage by the sea and displaces Jude, the intriguing caregiver he hired two years before. When Grandpa proves too much for Reese to handle on his own, Jude comes to his rescue, taming Grandpa… and the Hurricane as well. Soon all Reese can think about is how to get Jude out of his scrubs and into his bed—permanently. Will Hurricane Reese destroy everything in his path, or will this odd couple learn to harmonize together?


                           MY REVIEW

 Reese and Jude or lets just call them the odd couple. Reese is a spirited man who just seems to screw things up most of the time . He is talented musician and a great musical director. But he is a mess most of the time . He can't seem to get his love life under control. He is trying to get himself together for those he wants to be around . Jude is well he is the organized one who has his life kind of in order but he is also kind of messed up and he is hiding the fact that he is gay from his religious family and is nervous to let them know . Together they are a mess but a mess that will fix itself in the end.  They are such fun characters and they really come into their own and show what you can do if you just trust and love the person that you are suppose to be with.

The author has a style of writing that feels honest and easy to read . If you like characters that are opposites and well you know opposites attract this is the series for you . Check it out

ITS THE WEEKEND LETS READ

 Good afternoon my peeps , it is Saturday and the final run of reader round up. Today I have for you book 2 in the Sleuths of Shadow Salon, THEATER OF CURSES by Catherine Stine 


                            BOOK BLURB



 Shadow Salon detectives Luna and Celestine take on their second case, when Tim Calhoun insists his Conservatory of Theater Arts has been cursed, and the police have come up dry. He claims a red specter is terrorizing him, upturning his library of historic plays, setting fires in the theater, even brutalizing him. Tim is desperate to solve this terrifying mystery before Hollywood directors and agents flock to Savannah to watch his students perform and hopefully sign them.

The 1811 anonymous play is The Romance of the Recording Angels. Hazardous incidents follow rehearsals. Luna interviews students, inspects dorms and the library, where she unearths a copy of the play with strange red notations. She hires Arthur Dodge, a necro-visionary to find out who drew them. The shocking entity he resurrects reveals that three aerial realms must be unlocked to end an actual curse. But as time runs out, where the realms are, what must be done in them and just why the curse was inflicted remains a mystery.

To uncover clues, Luna uses her water magic and flight skills, while resisting her growing attraction to client, Tim. Celestine shares tips from her automatic drawings. As time runs out, Luna must try anything: Dodge’s visionary tea, Hoodoo Root Worker, Selka Dupree’s spell jars, and farmer Crow Dao’s lessons in realm jumping. If Luna fails to reach the realms, the conservatory will be shuttered, the curse will spread… and worse.

                        MY REVIEW
  Welcome back to the salon, they have been working hard and then they take on a second case. When Timmy comes to them saying that the theater is cursed. They take the case after the police came up dry. Luna takes charge of the case and works hard at trying to figure out what is the curse is and trying hard to fight her feelings for Tim. She is going to try and figure out what happened trying anything to get to the realms . Luna and her new friends will get it figured out. If she doesn't figure it out the theater will shut down and the curse will spread . 

   This is Luna's book and she is one tough woman who will do anything to figure out what is going on. She is tough and smart She really goes through a lot while she is investigating the curse.  Tim is the man that comes into Luna's life and he is sweet and kind and wants his theater back. Together they are so cute and they work well together also. We also get to see Celsetine and the gang back and we get to see a new demon that needs to be taken down before he destroys everything 

    This book is the second in the series and honestly a little more intense than the first book. We get to see the characters really work hard and shine through out . The author switched the main character from Celestine to Luna and I honestly like Luna as a main character leading the investigation. This is a fast read with a little bit more intensity and more diving into native traditions and rituals with great depth. Which I enjoyed , so if you like a good urban fantasy check it out

                             BOOK BLURB



 Celestine, witch and wolf shifter has a talent for prophetic drawings. She’s shocked when she draws her landlord Ray with his eyes gouged out and a strange winged-mermaid leaning over him. Later she finds an eyeless Ray dead on the sidewalk. All she wanted to do was open a gallery, but first she must apprehend his killer. In a posthumous note, Ray wrote he wasn’t just a leather-smith but a supernatural pirate mage. Years back, his Jekyll crew trapped the evil Demon Three Eyes clan. Ray feared they’d escaped, were stalking him, and would soon wreak havoc on Savannah.

Oryn, a fellow student in Celestine’s continuing ed art class, is a fae and a thorn in her side, when he asks nosy questions about the case. Yet, she’s drawn to him when he’s her masseur at the spa she frequents, and he’s clever at brainstorming leads regarding Ray’s case. He insists his air magic could come in handy.

When pirates in Ray’s old crew are murdered, their body parts stolen, Celestine puts more horrifying clues together. She’ll need everyone on board, includingLuna, a mermaid asking to show her sea-glass sculptures at Celestine’s new gallery—and the very same mermaid in Celestine’s tragic drawing of Ray. Otherwise, the lethal monstrosity Demon Three Eyes is unleashing on Savannah will destroy the city and everyone in it. Fans of Kim Harrison and Charlaine Harris may like this new supernatural detective series.

GOOD MORNING ALL IT 'S FRIDAY

  Well we made it to Friday, hope I haven't bored you all yet . We have one more week of reader round up to go. Today I have for you book 2 in the Bayou Crescent wolves series  COLE by Madison Granger


                               BOOK BLURB



 Cole Landry is living his best life. His position as Enforcer of the Bayou Crescent wolfpack isn’t a difficult one as the pack lifestyle is laid-back. So, no stress, right? It gives him time to charm the ladies, what Cole does best… until he meets the one female who isn’t caught up in his appeal.

Fox shifter, Kenzie Butler is done with men. Cheated on too many times, she’s tired of having her heart broken. She’s better off alone, focusing on herself to heal. When an old friend invites her to spend Christmas in a small Louisiana town, Kenzie jumps at the chance. This could be the haven she’s searching for… until she meets an annoying, egocentric wolf shifter who always seems to show up wherever she is.

A slow-burn story of Fated Mates who are trying to heal, learning to grow, and finding new love under unusual circumstances
                                            .MY REVIEW
 Welcome back to the pack, Cole the youngest of the brothers and the pack enforcer. He is living life and loving hard until the day one of the humans he cares about gets murdered and he is arrested for the crime . He is let go and he is hurting inside and doesn't want to have to deal with any female . Until Kenzie comes to town to stay with her friend Tansy. Something shifts in Cole and he wants to get to know Kenzie but Kenzie is sworn off men of any kind after her run ins with her ex . But the attraction is hot and you can't deny your animal instincts when they are screaming MATE MATE MATE. Will they be able to figure out what they want before it is too late.
  Cole and Kenzie's book is full of heart ache and actually a little heart break . Kenzie is a fox shifter who is honestly tougher than she looks and is one that should not be mistaken for a pushover . Cole is a playboy who reputation precedes him. He loves life and the ladies but is yearning for some one that he can have a family with and have that one true love that his brother Zane has. Lilah really turns into a villian in this book. She is so determined to be Coles she does almost anything to get at both him and Kenzie. Until the moment Kenzie shows her who the boss really is . Lilah deserves what she got because she was such a witch . I absolutely loved these character .
     This was a slow burn story with some baggage added to it from both main characters . The story is pretty fast paced but I do wish we got to see Kenzie's ex come to town and go against Cole. Just to add an extra layer to the story line . I was so waiting for it through the whole book. I enjoyed this one a little bit more then I liked Zane's book . It took a bit more for them to come together than in Zane's book . I truly like this series and so want to read Ridge's book .

GOOD EVENING ALL

  Good evening peeps , yes I am back for another book from reader round up. I have book two in the Burnt Ends series . GRILLED CORRUPTION by Erica J Whelton 


                          BOOK BLURB



 When the competition is rigged, everyone’s a target.

Jackie and Lauren thought running their inherited barbecue restaurant was the hardest challenge they'd face. They were wrong.
When respected competition judge Tex Morrison dies from poisoning at the Prairie Rose Barbecue Championship, the sisters find themselves prime suspects in a murder investigation. Determined to clear their names and honor their friend's memory, they begin their own investigation, only to uncover a conspiracy that reaches far beyond a single death.
What starts as a quest for justice reveals a massive criminal organization that has been systematically corrupting barbecue competitions across multiple states. With the help of Jackie's brilliant niece Melody and their growing ally Sheriff Martinez, they discover that Tex wasn't just a victim, he was an FBI informant gathering evidence against a network involving illegal gambling, money laundering, and competition manipulation worth millions of dollars.
But when the FBI reveals that Tex was continuing an investigation started by his murdered brother, the stakes become personal. The criminal masterminds behind the corruption have killed before to protect their empire, and they won't hesitate to eliminate three women who've stumbled onto their biggest secret.
As the sisters navigate federal investigations, legal intimidation, and escalating threats, they must decide how far they're willing to go for the truth. Because in a world where competition results are bought and sold, and where asking the wrong questions can be fatal, some corruption runs too deep to escape.
Someone seeks justice. Someone demands silence. They're all running out of time.

So moving to the country, he searches for peace. He has no interest in finding love. Then destiny leads him to a local café. Meeting Sarah, he finds she is unlike any woman he’s ever met. Strong. Resilient. Beautiful. He soon discovers he’s unable to fight the attraction he feels for her.

At least until she learns that the attorney is the Savior and Vincent is connected to her brother’s disappearance.
                       MY REVIEW 
 When Vincent walks into a diner in his new town. He walks into the love of his life she is the owner of the diner . They start off as friends when Vincent brings back Sarah's horse . The second in command is trying hard not to involve her in his lifestyle  but her sweetness and kindness win her over . But things are not what they seem when she goes to his boss she opens up a world she never knew and wanted . When she finds out that her brother is alive and wants revenge on Vincent and the crew. 
      Vincent and Sarah's story is one of second chances and an overpowering attraction . Sarah is a sweet sunshine girl who is fun and cheerful . She brings Vincent out of his self imposed funk. Vincent is a well he is a brooding sexy man who is living with a past of guilt and tragedy. They are such polar opposites but they work together. They need each each other like they need air. They are very well written and they are complex . 
    This is a really good mafia romance , that has a lot of action and sexy times and the author really takes us on a roller coaster ride of emotions . Each story is intense with some laughs through out the story . I truly like this author's writing and I can't wait to see the next story in the series . If you like mafia romance this is the book for you .

GOOD MORNING YES IT IS BOOK 6 OF READER ROUND UP

  Good morning my peeps , are you getting tired of me yet. Well I hop not cause I have for your the second book in the Storm Reavers series . REAPER'S RECKONING  by Beth Hale 


                              BOOK BLURB




 I destroyed us once to protect her. Now she's back—and I'm keeping her.

Five years ago, I pushed Sage Wilson away to save her from my world. Told the brilliant law student she deserved better than a VP with blood on his hands.

It didn't work.

Now she's an ADA walking into my clubhouse with intel on the rival MC gunning for me, and their president plans to destroy me by shattering the woman I never stopped loving. He's a ghost from my military past who spent two years in prison perfecting his revenge.

Sage thinks she can handle this war. She's fierce, armored in law and righteous fury.

She's wrong.

She's moving into the clubhouse. Wearing my property patch. Sleeping in my bed.

Mine to protect. Mine to claim. Mine to keep.

And when this war forces me to choose between my club and my woman, I'll prove that love and violence aren't mutually exclusive, that I can save my brothers and keep her breathing.

Because losing her once nearly killed me.

Losing her again will end me.

                       MY REVIEW 

 Welcome back to Tupelo and the Storm Reavers compound . Where things are always happening and peace just seem to want to happen. Someone is about to come and set things in motion that will change Reaper's life . Sage an ADA comes to the compound with a file that will set everything in motion for a war. There is more to just the up coming war. Sage is about reignite the love that she left five years ago to go to school. Reaper was the one that let her go and regretted it everyday since. Now he is taking no prisoners , she will not be leaving and they will be back together. Nothing will separate them again. 

   This is Reaper's and Sages book and boy does it get sexy . Sage is the one woman that took Reaper's heart. She is oh so sassy and honestly a little bit of a brat sometimes. She is as stubborn as a mule and can't admit that she loves Reaper . Reaper is well he is a brooding sexy man who after five years decides it it time to make Sage his for always . He is a man of action and has a fierce sense of protection to those he cares about . Yes they do butt heads a few times an it is so fun to see that. We also get to see Sophie and Rogue and the rest of the crew.  Oh and we get to meet a truly evil man who wants to end Reaper . Savage is the leader of a rival mc and they want to systematically take over Storm Reavers territory. He knows Reaper and he wants to destroy him because of what happened when they were in the military . He blames Reaper for all his problems . He is psychotic and wants to take everything away.  

 Ok going to give you a warning , this is one book that is high on romance times and has a lot more violence than book one.  The second chance romance is the sweet part of this book . The author really puts them through it . But like all other love stories , love over comes all even the evil that comes from a man who thinks he has been wronged . If you want a fast paced second chance romance set in the world of bikes sexy men who will protect those  they love with everything . Check out this series you will want to hang out with these bad boys

WELL PEEPS WE ARE ON BOOK 5

  Good afternoon my peeps yes I am back with book 5 . This afternoon I have for you  ROGUE'S REDEMPTION book one in the Storm Reavers series by Beth Hale. 


                             BOOK BLURB



 I was sent to kill her. Instead, I'm going to burn the world down to keep her alive.

Miguel died in my arms in a Syrian street, making me promise to protect his family. For five years, I've honored that—from a distance.

Then his little sister shows up in Tupelo, investigating corruption that threatens my club. My president gives me an order: eliminate the threat.

But Sophia Martinez is off-limits. Miguel's promise won't let me touch her.

So I break into her house, show her the dog tags I've worn for five years, and tell her the truth about her brother's death. Tell her there's a cartel hit on her head. Tell her I'm the only thing standing between her and a bullet.

I don't plan on falling for her. Don't plan on crossing every line I've ever had.

But Miguel's sister is brave and beautiful and mine. And I'll betray my club, kill every cartel soldier in Mississippi, and tear myself apart before I let anyone hurt her.

Some promises are worth dying for. This one's worth killing for.




                         MY REVIEW  


 When Rogue an enforcer for the Storm Reavers , he just let himself do what needed to be done for five years. After his best friend died in his arms over in Syria. Rogue has felt nothing until the day that he has to take care of someone that is getting too close to the club and the sorted things that go on . Once he sees her , she sets things off that will push him over lines that he never thought he would ever cross to help save her .Also help heal the ache in his heart from watching his best friend die with the bullet that was meant for him. 


   Rogue is a tough as nails enforcer that has had a sorted past , he is grieving for his best friend and really kind of dead inside. He is tough as nails on the outside but he is torn on the inside.  Sophia is a a journalist who is just as tough as Rogue. She is gutsy and sassy and when she is onto a story she doesn't let go. They are thrown together but they are honestly meant to be together. They are both strong but when it comes to it they are the strongest when they are together. 


   This is the first book in the series and the author did a good job portraying club life and what it takes to be part of that world. This was another fast read that combines intrigue and romance that had me flipping the pages . This book can be read in an evening . So check it out and cuddle up with a club member .


BOOK 4 OF READER ROUND UP

    Good morning peeps we are already on book 4 of reader round up . Today I have for you book 3 in the Guardian Agency series by Ursula Sinclair. WINE AND ROSES . 

                            BOOK BLURB



 Eboni Stiles thought Simon Blackcat was a walking, talking mass of perfectly packaged testosterone trouble. She made it a point to stay as far away from him as possible. Especially after that one night, she lost her mind and slept with him. One night with Eboni was not enough for Simon, not even close. So when Eboni’s life was in danger, he was the only man he trusted to protect her. Because those chasing her would have to kill him to get to her, and Blackcat did not die easily. A Guardian Agency Novel can be read as a stand-alone. This work has been previously published but has been re-edited and updated.


                        MY REVIEW 
 Eboni is on Simon's mind ever since the night they had a one night stand. When he saw her again and his buddies wedding things reignite. Eboni witnessed a shooting that has put her life endangered and Simon is the only person that can keep her safe. Together they are off to Montana where they rekindle a flame but will they survive to keep that flame lit. 
 
  This is Eboni's and Simons story and it is packed full of action and romance . Eboni is a sweet but oh so stubborn woman who is guarding her heart from the one man that could destroy it.  Simon well he is just a walking stick of sin who is confident but also very broken in some ways with what happened to his past. They are in a fight for their lives and Simon will do anything to keep Eboni safe. They are such a fun couple to read, each strong in their own right but together they are unstoppable. 
 
   This story is a little bit more intense then the other two books in the series . It has more of an intense catch em element to it . There is romance scenes also and two people destined to be together but really don't want to admit it.  The author adds some great tension in the story . This can be read as a stand alone but if you want to be introduced to the other characters I would read the other stories to get to know everyone. Another fast read for your March evenings .

                        MY REVIEW 
 River Blu has it all a great musical talent and she is a rock star that is dominating the charts . She has her secrets that are haunting her and she will not give her heart to just anyone. When her life is in danger she calls the only person she knows that can help keep her safe . Noah he will do anything to keep the woman he loved safe and figure out who is trying to kill her. 

   This is a second chance romance entwined with a mystery. River Blu is a rock star who is hiding secrets from her past. She is a woman who is so confident and knows what she wants. Until the day Noah a confident vet who is running an guardian agency . He is sharp and reliable in a white hat come to the rescue kind of guy . Together they are hot and you want to be friends with them. They are strong characters which are on the verge of being complex . 

  This book is a good sexy fast read that you can read in an evening. The characters are well written and you will really like the story line and yes there are some good romantic times through out the book . This is the first book I have read from this author and I think i will be checking out more of her books

BOOK 2 OF READER ROUND UP

  Welcome to day two of reader round up. Today for you I have book 4 in the Temporal Armistice series b. THE QUEEN OF DISCORD  by Mathew S Cox 


                            BOOK BLURB 



 Brooklyn Amari exists to destroy the world—but she doesn’t want to.

It’s not every day a person finds out their father is an ancient demon, two powerful armies expect her to end creation, and everything people think about celestial beings is completely wrong. Such news would break most people. Fortunately, Brooklyn’s tough. She’s also kinda lazy, which works, since saving the world requires she do nothing at all.

Good chance her life has gone off the rails when giant lightning-spitting birds are the least of her problems. Her friend is in deadly trouble with a gang and the warmongers hatch a devious new plan to destroy the Armistice—a.k.a the world—without her.

Sitting on her ass ignoring everything won’t cut it anymore.

Worse, she can’t stop thinking about the eco-terrorist mage attacking industrial sites across the country. Chasing people down is totally not in her job description as a firefighter, but such a strong psychic fixation is a big red flag. If Brooklyn’s limp excuse for a conscience doesn’t wake up, something bad is going to happen… probably to a bunch of innocent people who don’t deserve it.
                         MY REVIEW
 Well Brooklyn is just not having a good week. All she wants to do is her job but strange things are making it very difficult to do so. Between fires and all the magical stuff that has been happening around her . How can a half demon relax. When Ashley is kidnapped, Brooklyn is led down a path where she is caught by the ones that want to bring on the end of the human race and when all things are done . We now have a mini me that the warmongers think will destroy everything. But with Brooklyn things aren't as straight forward as one thinks. Will she be able to find mini me before they do and will she be able to keep everyone safe . 
   Poor Brooklyn is really going through it and she is trying so hard to keep it together. She is strong willed and will protect those she loves with every ounce of her being. She admits she is pretty lazy at times but when friends are in peril she is there to help out . Tracy and Ashley her neighbours are well they seem to bring out the laughter and the mother in Brooklyn. Ashley is getting into her fair share of problems especially when it comes to reheating food in a rune machine. You have to read to figure out what happens but it has to do with chinese food .  Each character is getting more and more complex . 
  This book is just a hoot to read, the author has just a way of combining magic, mayhem and lightheartedness into a book that will grab you by the heart and keep reading until the end .Yes you have to read the books in order but they are a fast read that will keep you giggling and feeling for the main character and everything that is dumped on her . So if you want a fun read that will keep you going check it out
