GOOD TUESDAY ALL
Welcome to Tuesday all another frigid day on the prairies , I know I am starting to sound like a broken record . At least I am finding some cool new books to read and tell you about . Today we are going to review WATCHING YOU by Lisa Jewell
BOOK BLURB
Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England; home to doctors and lawyers and old-money academics. It’s not the sort of place where people are brutally murdered in their own kitchens. But it is the sort of place where everyone has a secret. And everyone is watching you.
As the headmaster credited with turning around the local school, Tom Fitzwilliam is beloved by one and all—including Joey Mullen, his new neighbor, who quickly develops an intense infatuation with this thoroughly charming yet unavailable man. Joey thinks her crush is a secret, but Tom’s teenaged son Freddie—a prodigy with aspirations of becoming a spy for MI5—excels in observing people and has witnessed Joey behaving strangely around his father.
One of Tom’s students, Jenna Tripp, also lives on the same street, and she’s not convinced her teacher is as squeaky clean as he seems. For one thing, he has taken a particular liking to her best friend and fellow classmate, and Jenna’s mother—whose mental health has admittedly been deteriorating in recent years—is convinced that Mr. Fitzwilliam is stalking her.
Meanwhile, twenty years earlier, a schoolgirl writes in her diary, charting her doomed obsession with a handsome young English teacher named Mr. Fitzwilliam…
In Lisa Jewell’s latest brilliant “bone-chilling suspense” (People) no one is who they seem—and everyone is hiding something. Who has been murdered—and who would have wanted one of their neighbors dead? As “Jewell teases out her twisty plot at just the right pace” (Booklist, starred review), you will be kept guessing until the startling revelation on the very last page.

MY REVIEW
Welcome to Melville heights , and upscale neighbourhood in Bristol. Where doctors and people with old money live . Not where people get murdered in their kitchens and everyone has a secret .
Tom Fitzwilliam is the headmaster of the school that he has turned around . Everyone thinks he is great some more then others . His new neighbour Joey has a crush on the dapper headmaster but is there more to this man then he lets on . Between his son spying on him and Jennifer tripp and her mother nosey around . What is going on .
This book is full of complex characters , we have Tom Fitzwilliam , he is dapper and kind a sexy in his own way , but there is also a darkness to him. You really can't trust him and you just don't know what to think of him at times
I will say my favourite character is Freddie , he is the spy of the neighbourhood , he watches everyone and keeps tabs on the going on of the street . He is interested in the girls that seem to have a crush on his dad . There are so many characters that will keep you wondering who actually did the murder .
This story had me hooked from the second chapter . I love the way the author weaves a tale . We start off with a murder and then we jump back two months before and we try to unravel who did it . The author throws so many twists and turns that will you guess until you reach the end . Trust me you will be reading all night long . I couldn't put it down I needed to know who did the murder . You will love the characters and the story will have you thinking and shaking your head a few times . This is a great story for an evening read . Check it out .

GOOD MONDAY ALL
Good morning all , hope most of you are staying warm on this frigid Monday morning . Today we are going to review BOUND ANGEL by Felicity Heaton
MY REVIEW What do you do when you are the fiercest angel in the legion of Hell . Rook only wants to lay claim to the first battalion and getting one step closer to the Devil . When a dark winged angel won't leave him alone whispering to him about a witch that needs his help . Isadora is that witch and she has been alone for over a millennium because the angel she loves can't remember her, Will they over come the obstacles ahead of them and realize that they belong together .
This is the story I have been waiting for Rook has been a character that has popped up in other books and he has always captured my attention . He is dark and brooding and actually kind a blood thirsty in a way. All he wants to do is fight and get to the first battalion . He is also oh so sexy , you kind a want to climb him like a spider monkey and have your way with him . Isadora is a complicated character at the beginning of the book she is so defeated and tired of everything that is going on around her, the people that kidnapped her are putting her through so much . When Rook and her finally reunite you see her blossom and become the witch that she was destined to be all the years . Apollyn and his wife are back and helping out the couple against the evil coven of witches that want Isadora's power.
This book is a brand new book in the series and I was so excited to see it come live . I really love the characters in these books . The author writes her characters with such an intensity and they are so complex . You can't help but love them . The story always have such an intensity that you get sucked in after the first page . I will admit this one is a little darker and more intense then the other books . I loved how the plot unfolded in front of our eyes . You are swept away and there is enough heat to make you blush but there is also all the feels that you have . You will laugh, cry and fan yourself while reading this book . For those who love hot sexy fallen angels these are the books for you .
BOOK BLURB
Second in command of the most fearsome legion of fallen angels in Hell, Rook only cares about one thing—seizing control of the First Battalion and moving one step closer to the Devil. But a dark angel of Heaven keeps seeking him out, insisting a witch needs his help, and one glance at an image of the ethereal silver-haired beauty stirs powerful emotions long forgotten and rouses a deep need he cannot deny or understand—one that commands him to risk everything and save her.
Isadora has been a fool. Millennia alone, enduring an eternal life created by the bond she shares with the angel she lost, has taken its toll on her. Desperate to see a familiar face, she followed rumours to Paris and placed her trust in a group of witches, only to be betrayed once again. Now, they want the spell that has made her immortal and she’s close to breaking… until a formidable warrior with crimson wings comes to her rescue, awakening old feelings never forgotten in her shattered heart.
With the mounting threat of witches and an enemy of old in danger of tearing them apart, can Rook untangle the truth about the past he can’t remember and can Isadora convince her demonic angel the forever he desires is the one he promised her?

Title: Claimed Royalty
Series: Crowned and Claimed #1
Author: Betty Shreffler
BOOK BLURB
In a world where a woman’s purity is
the fine line between being Queen and being killed, he was given one duty—to
protect my purity and above all, to protect me. Both were a battle we weren’t
ready for.
Forced by
tradition, and as their chosen Queen, I must endure my trials and the suitor
phase, ultimately giving myself to a man from the Royal Houses. Each one
competes to be my King, all wanting what no other has had…my purity.
To have what
I truly want would risk my entire reign, but to do what is expected of me would
destroy my heart. My only protection is to follow through, giving each royal
the opportunity to win their prize…me in a bedroom suite and a crown atop their
head.
Behind closed
doors, I commit my biggest sin, loving a man I’m forbidden to have. When the
time comes for me to be crowned, I’ll be forced to make a choice—risk our love
or risk my life.
From the Author: This story contains
multiple men pursuing and having a relationship with the lead heroine. Story
may not be suitable for readers who dislike love triangles, ménage, or why
choose reverse harems. This series is as sexy as it is suspenseful. Packed with
romance, drama, action, and unexpected twists. Once you start, you won’t want
to put it down!
MY REVIEW
Welcome to the world where being crowned queen means I have to pick a king to help run the country with me . The one man I want I can't have . He is to guard me and my purity until I am crowned .
I will say I was pleasantly surprised by this story and the characters . they are well written and complex . Fi is a sweet woman that is strong and sweet at the same time . She is about to be crowned queen and is trying to hold it together . She has to choose the man that will be her husband and king . But there is one man that she truly loves and wants and cant have . Matheas , well what can we say , he is a dream boat and is sexy and a great body guard . He is loving and kind when he is with Fi . They are a great couple with lots of heat and romance pouring out of them .
The king is a hoot and is in love with his daughter I really liked him but the queen kind of drove me crazy. Her antics were kind of over the top and you kind of wanted slap her .
This book was a hot read , there are lots of sexy males that want the attention of one woman . The story is set in a time and a place that only is in fantasy . The author takes us on a emotional rollercoaster ride . There are times when you are wanting to wrap the main characters up in a warm blanket and tell them everything will be ok . Other times you are fanning yourself cause the heat just leaps off the page . The only thing that had me was in a couple of areas it seemed to drag just a little but over all this was a really great story and a new path for the author . I can't wait to see where the author takes the characters in other books in the series .
