GOOD AFTERNOON ALL

  Good afternoon my peeps , we are slowly coming to an end of reader round up . Today I have for you book 5 in he Temporal Armistices Series . THE BURNING ALCHEMIST by Mathew S Cox 


                               BOOK BLURB 



 Brooklyn Amari is so excited to have a kid, she’s beside herself—literally.

The six-year-old isn’t her daughter, but a copy of her in all ways except age. Despite a seventeen-year age gap, being around Pandora makes her feel like a kid again, which means mischief. Who has time to destroy all of creation when there are pranks to play?

Brooklyn inherited powers some might call demonic from her father, but also epic laziness. From her mother, she came down with a severe case of conscience. While she tries to do the right thing, having little respect for the law and weak impulse control sometimes results in destructive shortcuts, blood, and screaming.

Lawrence again asks for her help investigating a fire. Upon learning eighteen people died, Mom’s gift of morality cramps her desire to laze around having fun. Once a psychic hit reveals how twisted the arsonist is, Brooklyn fully commits to hunting him down. Problem is: he knows she’s coming… and her friends aren’t fireproof.

                        MY REVIEW 
  Brooklyn and the gang are back and Brooklyn is ecstatic about having a kid. Especially that the child is the spitting image of her. Brooklyn has inherited some powers that can be called demonic qualities from her father. She tries so hard to the right thing with her powers but Pandora is another thing she is a little devil acting just like Brooklyn when she was younger.  Then there is Lawrence asking for help from Brooklyn. When a psychic hit reveals how twisted the arsonist is . Brooklyn is now fully committed to finding the arsonist the only thing is that he knows she is coming. and she is scared for her friends cause they aren't fireproof

      Brooklyn and the gang are back , she is getting into being a mom and Pandora is surviving She is really having a time with Pandora cause she already knows her powers as Brooklyn didn't know what she was doing.I love how the characters are evolving and becoming more and more complex. Each character is complex and even the villians are creepy and complex 

   This is the fifth book and with each book the characters are more evolved . The author has such a talent for creating characters and world that are complex and always evolving and expanding.  This is a fun read that is a fast read.  I truly enjoyed this series and can't wait to read the last book in the series .

GOOD EVENING WE HAVE BOOK THREE IN THE FORCES OF NATURE SERIES

    Good evening peeps, Yes it is I again and yes I have the last book in the Forces of Nature series by R,L Merrill EARTHQUAKE ETHAN 


                            BOOK BLURB



 The Earth shook the morning actor Ethan Bradley arrived in Los Angeles looking for a second chance. He hoped his former producers Reese Matheson and Toby Griffiths meant it when they said to look them up if he were ever in LA because he had no other options. The pictures the paparazzi took at the wrap party for their London show made sure of that. What he wasn’t counting on was the reception he got from their manager, Arthur Frye. He was absolutely the kind of together guy Ethan wished would notice him, and for more than his pretty face and talent. Too bad Arthur only sees Ethan as a complication.

Arthur Frye has his hands full with his best clients—and best friends. The last thing he needs is another diva to care for, especially one who has a reputation for causing trouble. He has a strict rule against getting involved with the talent, no matter how pretty they are. Only Ethan Bradley shines for real, and when Arthur realizes his nice-guy innocence is genuine, he’s ready to do anything to help Ethan get his career back on track and get him out of LA. He’s too much of a temptation, and Arthur can’t afford to lose focus…not even for a chance at happiness for himself. Especially not when his star clients are about to risk their professional and personal happiness with their newest creation; a musical about two boys falling in love in the 1960s featuring music written by Reese’s grandfather, whose health is in decline.

Ethan Bradley shakes things up wherever he goes, and Arthur Frye is afraid he’ll be left in the wreckage if he gets too close. Can these two opposites find love on solid ground?


                       MY REVIEW 

 Ethan has a jolt the first moment he got off the plane in Los Angeles , He is there to meet Reese and Toby about a part in their new production after what happened in London. This was his only choice. Where he meets Arthur a talent manager with loads of clients but when he realizes that Ethan's good nature and sweetness is the real thing and Arthur can't take his hands off of him. But Ethan shakes up every thing and Arthur is trying not to be left in the wreckage. Can these two opposites find love .


  Ethan is the life of the party but after a bad time in London he was let go by his publicity managers and has to come home . He is a sweet guy with a fun personality.  There is also a sadness to him that he hides from everyone, he is so innocent but he hides it well . Arthur is more stoic and he hides his heart well , Such a hard worker who hides behind his hard working . I really like these two together they really balance each other out . We also get to see Reese , Toby and the rest of the gang .


  This story is kind of a complicated one. We hit a couple of heavy topics of homelessness and food insecurity.  The characters are fun to read and the author takes us on a quite a ride. This is a m/m romance with lots of twists and turns . I truly enjoyed this series and this author's style of writing . Check out this series if you love a good romance with more substance that will leave you wanting more.

WELCOME TO MARCH

  Good afternoon my peeps , welcome to March , its coming in like a lamb here on the farm. Today I have for you book 2 in the FORCES OF NATURE series . Let me introduce you to TYPHOON TOBY  by R,L Merrill. 


                             BOOK BLURB



It was supposed to be a no-names vacation fling, but when Spencer sees the man of his dreams on TV and fate throws them together again, can their love survive the torrential downpour from Toby’s past?

On the surface, Toby Griffiths appears to have it all: talent, money, a brilliant mind, and model good looks. With his best friend, Reese, he’s built an empire as a singer/songwriter. But beneath that glittering exterior, Toby suffers the lasting effects of abuse. To keep his tempestuous past where it belongs, he insists on anonymity with loversno names, no personal information. But a vacation fling in Bali changes all that, and he can’t get his recent playmate out of his mind. Therapist Spencer Hart left Bali with a bad case of pneumonia and a broken heart. Although he’s recovering, he’s shocked to find his secretive partner on TV, and he’s determined to see him again. Spencer arranges to attend one of Toby’s fundraising galas, and their reunion is tense. Toby tries to stick to his rules… until a New Year’s kiss with Spencer washes away the last of his resistance. But Toby is a man with secrets, and when the storm comes ashore, it could devastate not just his professional life but his fledgling love affair and his longtime partnership with his best friend. Will Spencer stand by his side and help him weather the storm as Toby faces his worst fears?
                          MY REVIEW 
 Toby had a life changing week in Bali with a man named Spencer . What he didn't know was that Spencer is the one man he didn't want to let go of. So when they meet again in California they both are surprised and happy to see each other again. Things go from happy to sad in a short amount of time , When Spencer being sick and Toby having PTSD from some child hood trauma. Things get hairy when all these emotions come bubbling to the surface for Toby and life seems to fall apart around him, Will Spencer stick around and stand by him and will his friend and music writing partner be able to help him along with getting his own life in order . 
    Toby is Reese's best friend and music partner, he is well he is sexy and on the outside he comes off as a happy go lucky guy with a swagger and sometimes a chip on his shoulder. But inside he is one screwed guy. Things that happened to him when he was younger would make most of do what he did. You really feel for Toby and you want to wrap him up in a blanket and make him soup let him know that everything will be ok. Spencer is your good looking sweet guy who you want to tell your whole life story too. There is a sadness about him also. He doesn't really let anyone close enough to get to know him the real him.  Each of them are sweet but also broken but together they just might be good enough to hold on to each other and bring out the best 
  This is the second book in the series and a little more intense than book one . The characters are so well written and the story is unsettling at times but also you will cheer and applaud them. I truly like these characters and this series . It is a m/m romance that is a very good read and the author has a great way of writing that brings out the best of each character . So if you want a romance with a twist with wonderful characters that are flawed . Check out this series
