GOOD ATERNOON PEEPS

   WOOHOOOO this is the last book of my reader round up. Today I have book 6 in the Temporal Armistice series . THE PACIFIST'S DOOM by Matthew S Cox .

                             BOOK BLURB

 A desperate stranger dumping a dangerous magical weapon in Brooklyn’s lap isn’t the end of the world—it’s merely going to kill every living thing on the planet.

The world itself will be just fine.

This isn’t the kind of apocalypse she signed up for. Her idea of saving the world is much less do nothing at all. If she doesn’t destroy it, that counts as saving it, right? Alas, the ancient artifact isn’t very patient. The clock is ticking and it’s going to make her miss some serious couch time.

Problem is, the doomsday device doesn’t want to be stopped. It keeps slipping away from her. Even if she does manage to get her hands on it, the Philadelphia Fire Department hasn’t exactly trained her how to disarm ancient magical weapons of mass destruction. She’s going to have to improvise. What could possibly go wrong?

                         MY REVIEW 

  Brooklyn is at again, she is hanging out with Pandora and honestly really not doing anything. Until the day a stranger dumps a magical orb that is going to destroy every living thing. The clock is ticking and the orb is not taking any names . It keeps slipping away from her cause it doesn't want to be stopped and if she does get it in her hands she doesn't really know how to stop it. So improvising it is , I mean what could go wrong. 

    Brooklynn is proving to be such a fun read. She is the best of both worlds a couch potato who would love just having lazy days at home to the firefighter helping out fight the fires that are springing up around Philli. She even finds a baby dragon that was setting fires in a restaurant. . Pandora is a great combination of Brooklyn. She is sassy and sweet and always trying not to get into trouble . They both love their friends with a passion. And really don't want to start the end of the world . We also get to see more of Brooklyn's mom and dad in this one. This is a family that you want to read and get to know. 

  

  This is such a fun read , Brooklynn and the gang are back and stronger and funnier than ever. This author has such a great grasp on each character that makes them complex . The worlds he paints are so much fun and you get sucked in so fast . I mean we have magical beings popping up all over Philadelphia like babe dragons in the ovens and so many more.. This whole series will have you laughing and turning pages all night . Check it out you will love this series .

GOOD AFTERNOON PEEPS

   Good afternoon peeps we are getting closer and closer to the end of reader roundup. This afternoon I have for you book 4 in the Burnt Ends cozy mystery series . SEARED REVENGE  by Erica J Whelton.

                             BOOK BLURB

 When the annual Hill Country Thunder Rally brings three thousand bikers to Prairie Rose, Jackie Prescott and Lauren Benoit are ready to serve the biggest crowd Charlie Joe's BBQ Shack has ever seen. But the rumble of engines soon turns deadly when a body is discovered at the Iron Wolves campsite, and the murder is just the beginning.

As rival motorcycle clubs point fingers and old feuds resurface, a second victim falls. Then a third. The killings are connected to a disbanded club called the Lone Road Riders, whose treasurer vanished three years ago with $47,000 in stolen funds. Now someone is eliminating everyone who knows the truth about what really happened.

With the FBI descending on their small town and the killer still among the rally crowd, Jackie, Lauren, and Melody must navigate a dangerous web of embezzlement, faked deaths, and bitter revenge. Complicating matters, their estranged mother Dawn has arrived on their doorstep with nothing but a small suitcase, humbled and seeking a second chance. The sisters cautiously put her to work at the restaurant, where Dawn proves surprisingly capable, though her old habits around attractive men threaten to cause problems with the motorcycle clubs.

The rally coordinator is hiding his identity. A terrified witness holds explosive secrets. And threatening messages make clear that asking questions could be fatal.

As the sisters dig deeper into the past, they discover that some debts can never be repaid and some secrets are worth killing to protect. When the final confrontation comes, the family will need all their courage to survive a killer who's been planning revenge for three years.

In Prairie Rose, the road to justice is paved with smoke, secrets, and the ghosts of crimes that refuse to stay buried.

                          MY REVIEW 

  The ladies are back and busier than ever , the big biker rally is only a few days away and the gang are working 24/7 getting ready and testing recipes for the breakfast burritos. Everything is going good there have been a few mishaps when the bikers get there. Like an over flirty mother oh and murder of three bikers that have happened around the campground and well by the dumpsters at Charlies restaurant. The gang need to keep a sharp eye out and survive the week . All good plans always come with a side of crazy family. .  There is also a romance blooming between Police chief Ray and Lauren which is so sweet.

      The ladies are back and having the best time ever working together. Jackie is still keeping everything together and Lauren is working hard and they are living the dream Melody is in school and thriving . We have Dawn thrown into the mix , she is well lets say she is trying some days are better than others but over all she is trying. . We also get to meet some very fun bikes that are all sweet and caring . I truly love these characters are like coming home by this time. Each of them is like a member of the family . 

   This is the fourth book in the series and I really liked a lot.  There is a lot that is going on and when you figure out you will be like oh wow how did the author do that. This is a fun cozy mystery that does pack a lot into it.  You know things continuously change but also stay the same . Every member of town is there to help you out when you need the help. So grab a sweet tea and snuggle down for a fun read .

GOOD MORNING PEEPS

  Good morning peeps, yes I will tell you that reader round up is slowly winding down. Three more days of books for you all . Today I have book 3 in the Burt Ends series . MARINATED LIES by Erica J Whelton. 

                            BOOK BLURB

                              He returned with lies. They came with consequences.

When Melody's long-lost father walks back into her life after twenty years of silence, she knows something doesn't add up. Ryan's carefully crafted story about reconciliation has too many holes, and his suspicious questions about the restaurant's operations suggest motives that have nothing to do with family.

Jackie and Lauren thought they'd faced the worst Prairie Rose had to offer. They were wrong. Because Ryan didn't return alone. He brought a million-dollar debt to a Chicago-based criminal organization, and those debts are collected in blood.

As a parade of suspicious investigators descends on Charlie Joe's BBQ Shack, each with their own agenda and questionable credentials, Charlie Joe's nieces must determine who's legitimate, who's compromised, and who's working directly for the criminals hunting Ryan. When the danger escalates from surveillance to direct threats, they realize they're not just dealing with one deadbeat father's mistakes. They're caught in the middle of an organized crime operation that views them as collateral damage.

With Sheriff Ray Martinez coordinating federal assistance and Melody's brilliant analytical mind working overtime, the family races to uncover the truth before Ryan's past destroys their present. But in a game where every investigator could be an enemy and trust is a luxury they can't afford, survival means making impossible choices about family, loyalty, and the price of protection.

In Prairie Rose, some family reunions are better left uncooked, and some debts demand more than money can pay.

                     MY REVIEW 

 The ladies of Charlie Joe's BBQ Shack are back with more going on then they can handle . When Melody's dad walks into the restaurant and wants to reconnect with the child he walked away from twenty some years ago. Jackie and Lauren are against it but Melody and her analytical mind want to figure out who her dad is and why he left her. But wait there is more going on than a reunion. Ryan seems off and then all the other people coming in casing out the restaurant. Can't figure out who is real or an enemy. With the help of Ray the police chief and Melody's mind and critical thinking the real reason will come to light and the family will need everything in their power to survive this one. 

 Lauren, Jackie and Melody are back the ladies have grown so much and become such a close knit family along with Jovi and Emma. They keep the restaurant running and the people fed. They have grown closer and stronger the more they are together .  Police Chief Ray is a sweet but tough man. He only has eyes for Lauren and wants to keep her and the others safe.  We get to meet two new people . Ryan , Melody's runaway father. He is kind of shifty and really doesn't have anyone's best interest at heart. He is well he is just not evil but will call him misguided , We also get to meet their mom at the end of the book and boy I can't wait to read what is up with her . She sounds like she is going to be a mess and I am there for it. Each character is well written and I can't wait to dive back into them. 

  This is book 3 in the series and honestly it gets a little dark with lots of suspense, deception and conspiracies.  The author takes us on a roller coaster ride that had me flipping pages all night. There are still some light hearted scenes to go along with all the suspense. This is a fun series that will have you cheering for the good guys and also kinda hungry by the time you are done. Oh I forgot to mention that the author posts a recipe mentioned in the book at the back of the story. There are some good recipes there. So if you want a fun book check out this series . I do suggest read the books in order to fall in love with these ladies .

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
