RELEASE BLITZ Title: The Dragon’s Bride Series: A Deal With a Demon #1 Author: Katee Robert Genre: Monster Romance Release Date: March 29, 2022 @katee_robert and @GiveMeBooksPR BLURB Briar Rose might have a name out of a storybook, but she learned at a very young age that no prince was coming to save her. She’ll have to save herself. Unfortunately, even that is an impossible task in her current situation—trapped in a terrifying marriage to a dangerous man. Desperate times cal

★★★★ @ReneeRoseAuthor @SavinoLee #AlphasFire @jennw23 Rich and powerful paired with dangerous is everything Tabitha wants to avoid. For Gabriel, Tabitha is the one he's been waiting centuries for and won't lose this time around. This charming fated-mates story is just what I needed this past weekend. It is both lighthearted and serious with the right timing. Full disclosure, I have not read the previous books in this series and it reads beautifully. This can be read as a s

★★★★ @katee_robert and @GiveMeBooksPR #TheDragonsBride Deliciously sweet, new-to-me author Ms. Roberts brings joy into my life during a very difficult week. I have heard of Ms. Robert and haven't had a chance to try her books. When this one in a new series was offered up, the premise sounded good. What wasn't good? The cover. I'm a cover indifferent reader. It is rare that a cover turns me off. This cover does not do the book justice. Maybe it's just the artwork style

★★★ @AuthorAKEvans and @GiveMeBooksPR #Broken When a bad thing happens to a loved one, what is your first response? For Tarryn, it is sadness that morphs into anger and the need for vengeance. This is a good beginning and I'm thinking perhaps this is going to go the way of the movie - Peppermint. Within a couple of chapters, I learn that Tarryn is heading for a train wreck. One can only hope someone stops her foolishness. I nearly stopped the book at this point but I cont

Title: Broken Series: Harper Security Ops #1 Author: A.K. Evans Genre: Military Romantic Suspense Release Date: March 22, 2022 BLURB Rules are made to be broken… Royce Blackstone has one rule: Never get personally involved with his clients. As the owner of Harper Security Ops, Royce is well aware of everything and everyone inside his building. When he’s about to go in after the biggest lead on latest case that’s landed on his desk, Royce didn’t expect he’d have to abort the m

★★★ ½ @LisaReneeJones #LucifersSin The start of a new trilogy from talented Ms. Jones pulls me in and reminds me why I enjoyed her books so much. This is a spin-off from the Walker Security Series. I will need to go find the Walker Security books and binge-read them. Warning, this is a trilogy with a hook that makes a reader want to dive right into the next book. I personally don't consider it a cliffhanger, but at around the 70% mark, my anxiety increased as I wondered ho

I will be in and out of posting for the next couple of weeks. I have a cherished pet that is very ill and may end up passing away. We are taking care of her around the clock.

★★★★ @JayneAnnKrentz #WhenSheDreams #NetGalley Returning back to Burning Cove, this latest book is totally relatable for me. Maggie Lodge is a lucid dreamer. I understand her plight as I too lucid dream. This story does take a few odd turns with dreaming that I don't personally have issues with, but it is interesting to see. I keep forgetting that this is set in the 1930s. Every so often, a scene reminds me of the era in full HD colour. Ms. Quick does an amazing job of b

★★★★ @laurenaliciaCon #HoldingaWitch Kicking off a new series with witches, bear shifters, and dragon-type familiars, how can I be anything but charmed? The story kicks off from Denton's point of view. He and his sister have been a live "homing" beacon sending out signals for their friend Cordelia to find them and come home. The first chapter is a bit disorienting if you don't read the blurb. Full disclosure, Ms. Connolly is on my automatic read list. I don't need to know w

★★★★ @JulieGarwood #Hotshot Now I'm all caught up with this series and eagerly anticipating the new book Grace under Fire to come out this summer. Sometimes it is nice to forget about a series for a decade and then binge-read all the books. These books can be read as a standalone. There are a couple of references to characters from previous books but it doesn't require in-depth knowledge. This is another winner for me. I loved the characters, the swimming element, and ru

★★★★ @JulieGarwood #SweetTalker Getting caught up in this series has been a breath of fresh air. I devoured this book on a cold Saturday afternoon. This story catches my attention because it shows a "what-if" scenario from a scammer's relative's point of view. This I believe is a nod to Bernie Madoff and his Ponzi scheme. As an economics major, the whole Madoff Ponzi scheme is mind blowing. How could so many people be taken in? How did it work? It is complicated in man

★★★1/2 @laurenaliciaCon #LoveandLibrary #TooCute Going off to college can be daunting when there are no friends or family nearby. For those who are used to having their family close by and can go for a visit at any time, trying to make new friends can be very rough. Hannah Smalls is this type of person and she's just sticking out the best she can. With no real friends yet, she focuses on school work and prizes a special place in the library to do her homework. When Ms. Co

★★★ ½ #TheNextAlways #TBRPile When it comes to feel-good books with family bonds and extended friends, I know I can always depend upon Ms. Roberts to deliver. This book has been quietly waiting on my TBRPile. I am so glad I finally picked it up. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Now I need to finish the trilogy. This first book is setting the stage for us as we see an Inn being restored to its former glory. This trilogy will be focused on the Montgomery brothers and t

★★★ #NetGalley #MalloutofLuck Always on the lookout for F/f books, this new-to-me author, Ms. Robinson looks promising. It helps that she places her characters in Michigan where I live and gives a nod to my alma mater - Go Blue! This is a sweet romance that moved rapidly. This story is part of a collection where love is in the air around a Mall. Business owners find their match I guess through customers coming through the doors. For Saoirse, she moves to Michigan to revamp

★★★½ @JulieGarwood #Wired Hot off of reading Ideal Man, I immediately followed up with Wired. I read through the night and ended up with a book hangover that left me a bit wired for the rest of the day. This is a great follow-up to Ideal man because we have another child prodigy, this time in the form of COMPUTERS! Since I'm in the IT world, this one did appeal to me. I ended up with 1/2 a star less because I didn't like Liam as much as I liked Max from Ideal man. Yes, y

@authorlexiblake #BlogTour #ManfromSanctum A painful past An unexpected reunion A dangerous future The Man From Sanctum, an all-new must read standalone romance in the suspenseful Masters and Mercenaries: Reloaded Series from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake is available now! A painful past Deke Murphy and Maddie Hall should never have worked as a couple in high school. She was the class valedictorian and he the jock who took nothing seriously…except her. Together

★★★★ @authorlexiblake @jenw23 #ManfromSanctum This spin-off series gets better and better. Returning back to the world of the Taggart's and Big Tag's special brand of employee motivation, this romantic suspense is a second chance theme. Deke Murphy and Maddie Hall were the IT couple in high school. When they split, the good intentions did not translate well. As the saying goes, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". This book generated so many feels for me. Th

★★★ ½ #DarkAlphasPassion Returning back to the world of the Reapers, more is revealed and not surprisingly, there is another group looking to fill the power vacuum of the original "OTHERS". Seriously, what is with these constantly hidden groups with world domination plots? Although in this case, I guess art is a mere reflection of reality. Ms. Grant provides at least a possible happily ever after whilst the world as we know it may be going down in flames. Ruarc is paying

I stay on the path leading me to the private beach at The Jumble. Vicki, the proprietor let me know that Ineke would provide food for us to enjoy during my interview with her. As one of the more outspoken humans living in Sproing, I looked forward to learning more about her. I double-checked my name tag from Vicki. She mentioned that I should wear it in a visible place and not lose it. When I reach the beach, I see Ineke with her teal and burgundy streaked brown hair waitin
