She moved toward the lawn chairs Mom and Grandma Rose were sitting in, glanced up at the radiant display and smacked into marble. Nope. A man. She peered up to apologize, but the words died on her lips as recognition dawned. Cash Ryland. Mae hadn’t laid eyes on him, by design,

@Jeffekennedy #BlogTour Invisible Loner Gendra—partblood daughter of an elite mossback soldier and the only shapeshifter to achieve the coveted dragon form—is anything but interesting. She’s actually plain and awkward and … invisible. Every guy she meets either looks right through her or—worse—thinks of her as just a friend.

Review: Bond of Destiny by Larissa Ione
★★★★ @LarissaIone #BondofDestiny #1001DarkNights Returning back to the world of the Demonica Underworld is a pleasurable trip. As part of the 1001 Dark Nights series, Bond of Destiny can be read as a standalone. Fair warning . . . after reading this novella, if this is your first into the Demonica underworld, you might end up buying up the entire series to read. This is one of the few blurbs I read before I picked up the book. A fan of Ms. Larissa, sometimes I need a little

Review: Cat out of Hell, Vol III by Candace Blevins
★★★★★ @CandaceBlevins #CatoutofHellVol3 #Mustbuy A stunning conclusion to this three story arc, volume 3 is a must read. This book should be read in the order they came out to experience the full effect. This book starts right where the second book ends. Becca is in trouble. She made 1 judgement in error and she's off for punishment. Unfortunately her plan to capture Kendric's attention backfired and I'm still a bit pissed about it. All the things I thought about for how

Review: Dirty Sexy Bastard by Laurelin Paige
★★★ #DirtySexyBastard @LaurelinPaige Elizabeth Dyson seems to be the only child to a billionaire who collected wives and then proceeded to toss them away. She didn't know her father well but it seemed so many others looked up to him and admired him. When he passes away, she thought she would run his company. Instead... he hands it to a cousin who will destroy it. This is a short story to set the stage for the duology of Weston and Elizabeth business marriage. This short st

Review: The Last Goodnight by Kat Martin
★★★ ½ @katmartinauthor #TheLastGoodnight #NetGalley Kicking off a new series, this is for suspense readers who also love cowboys. I am one of the very few romance readers who seem to be completely indifferent to cowboys. They don't do anything for me. I'm not interested nor aroused by them. Nothing about them appeals to me. I generally tend to avoid cowboy themes because they bore me. Why did I pick up this book? Because I saw the author name and ignored the blurb. Thi

Review: Breakeven by Michelle Diener
★★★★ @MichelleDiener #Breakeven Breakeven follows the events right after Breakaway. The protagonist is Dee who is a valued member of Leo's team. On a mission to warn their resistance alliance from Lassa, she is accidentally locked in a spaceship and taken to the planet Lassa. This mistaken identity theme is well done. Dee does a bang up job of bluffing through situations and making up stories on the fly to eek by. Crossing paths with Sebastian, the current leader for the La

Review: Begin Again, Again by Eve Dangerfield
★★★★ @Eve_Dangerfield #BeginAgainAgain #Bookreview When I saw that Ms. Dangerfield picked up writing again, my heart lifted in joy. Her books touch at the heart of human conditions in a way that is easy to understand and empathize. When she offered up this new book, I grabbed it with both hands. Within the first two chapters of this book, I started to regret accepting this book because, I really didn't like it and wondering how I would write a review for a book that I might

Review: One Last Kiss by Kat Martin
★★★ ½ @katmartinauthor @OneLastKiss #NetGalley Heartwarming and sweet, this contemporary romance with a city girl returning back to her roots is a delight. One Last Kiss kicks off a new series by talented author, Ms. Martin. This short prequel sets the tone to this series so far. The setting harkens back to a time where the noise of social media and electronics is shut off. I like it. Sam Bridger performs one last favour for a dear friend of his. Last favour because it wa

Review: Cat out of Hell, Vol II by Candace Blevins
★★★ @CandaceBlevins #mustread #CatOutofHellVol2 #angerwarning Book two picks up right after the cliffhanger in book one. In the first book, I liked Kendric. I felt I would warm up to Becca. And I was so excited to see Xaephan again. I gave a little fan girl squee when I saw his character in this three story arc. How things change in just one book. I did a complete 180. I am beyond livid reading this book and I can't honestly say that I enjoyed it. I am so mad that I could b

Review: Breakaway by Michelle Diener
★★★★ @MichelleDiener #Breakaway Following right up after the Novella Insurgency, we visit the world of Garmen. This world is considered a Breakaway world because it left the Verdant String's socialistic society and went with capitalism is King. As a reminder, forget the over exaggeration of the capitalistic flaws. The main character of this story is Sofie. For me, she's the wild card in this world and I absolutely love ... her crazy paranoid deceased father. There are so ma

I tried to wait until the next book comes out because I love this series and want to read the books one right after another. I couldn't wait and ended up devouring this book. Now I am all caught up with the series and eagerly anticipating the next book. I love Delaney. She's my favourite character in this book. She's the big sister and as the bridge for the

Review: Stripped by Lauren Dane
★★★ @LaurenDane #Stripped It is rare for me to find a Lauren Dane book I haven't read. Especially her contemporary romance. Turns out, this novella was originally in a anthology. I'm so glad I found it by itself. Thoroughly enjoyable and a sweet pick me up, Ms. Dane delivers a sexy hot erotic romance. Dahlia is a burlesque dancer in Vegas. To pay for her schooling, dancing burlesque is a great way to go because of the flexible hours and the high pay. The down side to da

Review: Interference/Insurgency by Michelle Diener
★★★★ @MichelleDiener #InterferenceInsurgency #novella After reading Riding the wave, I immediately went to look for the rest of the books in this series. Fortunately for me, they are all available on Amazon. Definitely worth the read! This initial one is two novellas compiled into one book. It kicks off the world building for the Verdant String Series. This series is an interesting concept regarding capitalism versus socialism. Ms. Diener basically showcases only the wors

Review: A Melody in the Deep by Cara N. Delaney
★★★★ @CaraD_author #AMelodyintheDeep @booksirens Water themes incorporating mermaids is a siren's song for me. I didn't even need to read the blurb. All I did was see read the first sentence - "Keola is a mermaid" and I saw the book cover. Hooked and reeled in, I went into this story pretty cold. It was to my surprise that it is a F/f romance. SCORE! I didn't think the book could get better but when this romantic element entered into the storyline, I nearly swooned in ha

Review: High Stakes by Iris Johansen
★★★ @Iris_Johansen #HighStakes #NetGalley Loosely tied to the Eve Duncan series, this book seemingly comes out of no where. I scratched my head several times as I tried to place where I have seen Logan Tanner's character. I want to say that he was someone that Eve made use of in one of her escapades. I'm not 100% certain. I was able to figure out why Kaskov seemed so familiar. He is Cara's grandfather who was an aspiring musician until his possible career was brutally en

Review: Dear Elliot by P. Stormcrow
★★★★ @p_Stormcrow #DearElliot Daughter of the hired help falls for the son of the Manor is at the heart of this story. P. Stormcrow takes this old theme and makes it fresh and endearing. Full disclosure, I didn't read the blurb. Going in cold, I wasn't sure what to expect. What I found is a heartwarming romance that appeals to the wholesome side of me. For those looking for a feel good romance, this book is for you. Emma Jones is experiencing a rough patch to her life. S

She had to runaway first and see that it is pointless before she can come to terms with her plot in life. Unfortunately for her, because of her very foolish mistake, it may cost her everything. This book should be read only after reading the first book. It will make more sense. Everything

The world building in this book hits all my happy buttons. And of course, I am rooting for the underdog. Luc aka the Turncoat King has a specific goal in mind. He will bring down the people who stole him from his family and slaughter his mother for protecting him. Meeting up with Ava, a mysterious prisoner of his en

Review: Pug Actually by Matt Dunn
★★★ @mattdunnwrites #PugActually #NetGalley Ridiculously adorable, Doug is a rescue dog who has taken it upon himself to help his hooman. His hooman needs a lot of help. Julie is the quintessential female who exemplifies "nice girls finish last". Quite honestly, I wanted to slap Julie upside the head so many times throughout this book that she would have had brain damage. The sad part? There are people like this in the real world and Julie is one of those who is basicall
