Troy Jimenez is one of the top managers at Suds Car Wash-Richmond, but is also a huge player. From his constant flirting with customers to him indulging in many of the employees, he loves the ladies, and with his good looks and charm, he knows he can get any woman that comes into his path.
That was until Reece Palmer came into his life.
Reece is everything Troy wants in a woman: smart, ambitious, and sexy as hell. As he tries to find ways to get with her, Reece is definitely not falling for his antics, making Troy wonder if she’s worth the fight.
Or is she?
After quitting her job and abruptly leaving the only city she knows, Reece decides to move to Houston to be near her cousin, Vanessa, her husband, Mark, and their daughter Samantha. She doesn’t know what direction her life is heading, but she knows she needs a job fast. Her cousin suggests she come work at Suds as the new office manager. With the location needing a bit of a facelift, Reece is up for the challenge; little did she know she also need to get the manager in line. In more ways than one.
With the daily theatrics of the business, including bickering amongst the employees, and rude customers, Reece has her job cut out for her; but the real issue is with Troy. She wants to strangle him on a daily basis, making her wonder if her feelings for him are pure hate, or something more.
The constant interaction between the two will make them wonder if there is something more between them. While Reece is trying not to get involve with a co-worker, Troy has even bigger demons to deal with, causing him to finally face them head-on.
Will the two be able to get past their personal issues to see where their feelings are for each other, or will their dilemmas push them further away from what is right in front of them?

Genre – SPORTS ROMANCE
Page Count – 390 pages

Abby
My heart races, palms sweat and knees go weak.
I’ve never seen anyone like Drew in a science lab. He’s made me a firm believer in chemistry existing outside a textbook. Until his ego shows up. Nope – No thank you. Moving on. I mean… who has an entourage in college?
When our professor announces we’ll be stuck as lab partners, I nearly lose my mind – I’m certain my dreams of becoming a doctor will go up in smoke with a distraction like him around.
Drew
I don’t date during the season.
The number of trolls who venture into the arena simply to chase jerseys is unbelievable.
In fact, I typically distance myself from the social side of being a college athlete because I have my eye on something bigger than our next D-1 championship.
I’ve taken painstaking measures to avoid distractions – at all costs.
This plan has worked perfectly until Abby shows up at my door.
Gone is the plain studious girl I left in lab the day before.
Left in her place is the intriguing woman I want to know better.
Here I thought she wouldn’t be a distraction – yeah right…
I am so screwed.
Abby’s gorgeous and there’s nothing plain about her.
I am this close to having it all. If I let Abby in, will my perfectly laid out plans disappear?

Master Tuscano (Masters of the Consulate Book 2) by Sylvia Black- Review by Lauren West

Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 2)Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Master Tuscano” has to be one of the best Vampire books I have read. Thank you Sylvia Black for this intriguing supernatural tale! You have gained a reader for life! This is a first read for me by this author, and I could not put it down for the life of me! This supernatural tale was sexy, dark, dramatic, suspenseful, original, and a book that once you start you don’t move until you are finished. Christian and Delilah as mates are a force and their love turns the supernatural world upside down.
Christian is very much a fierce Alpha male who has had his love and loyalty tested in ways you cannot imagine. His human mate Delilah is frowned upon by the supernatural world and their love is tested when he is told that they cannot be together. When she is left for dead Christian has a choice to make, and he does the only thing a true mate would do and turn her before he brings her to the Underworld.
The story takes a dramatic turn from there as Christian has taken matters in his own hand and continues to do so and Delilah slowly comes into her new supernatural state in this new world she never wanted. We watch as they test the strength of their bond, their thirst for revenge, and the dangers of the supernatural world. If you have not read it then stop and do it now!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my book by this author, and I was blown away! Given the subject matter it should be a sad book, but it’s sort of uplifting and thoughtful. Definitely makes you reflect on your own outlook on life. It was extremely well written. All of the characters were very multi dimensional and authentic. I would absolutely recommend this book, even if it’s not your typical genre!

HER DARK LOVE (DARK SPELL SERIES Book 4) by ISRA SRAVENHEART – Review by Erin Wolf

Her Dark Love (Dark Spell #4)Her Dark Love by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Her Dark Love (Dark Spell Series Book 4) by Isra Sravenheart, 4 stars.

If you have been following the series, this book takes us back to the beginning of Isra, showing us how she came to be. It was interesting to see this aspect of her life. You are introduced to many characters, and this is what makes this book so good. This is a world of magic and those who want to take advantage of others, no matter the cost. Although this is written like an adult fairytale, there is no happily ever after. But the followers of this series already know this. This s a story of discovering just what you are made of and what extents you will go. The author has done a fantastic job presenting to us the beginning of the story. She creates a world of magic and makes you feel like you are right there. You really feel for Isra in this book.

If you like darker, more adult fairytales, this book and series are for you. If you have followed, the series, this book will show you the beginning. If you have not, you will discover a whole new world and cast of characters.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boy, Book 2 did not disappoint!! I love this book and series! Definitely read book 1 before diving into book 2. Lucy’s father, Jude, wants Lucy to train with him so she can use her demon powers. In the story, Lucy just wants to be with Marcus, but Marcus’ mother has other plans and would like Marcus to join their gargoyle clan. There is so much to this story I would love to share, but do not want to give out any spoilers and I love it. Demons, gargoyles, witches with twists and turns. Truly fabulous!

Her Dark Love (Dark Spell #4)Her Dark Love by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Her Dark Love was a really good prequel I guess? I’m not sure what exactly to call it but the author does take us back to before before main villains (characters) turn evil. So it was nice to go back. I can’t recall many of the characters though, I’ve only read the second book and it was awhile back so my memory wasn’t up to date when I picked this one up. But since it is taking us back in time I don’t think that’s really relevant. It was hard for me to get into though. It felt like the story was rushed and they went from one scene to another without taking appropriate measures on showing the reader how they got there. And it was very stop and start like reading a fairytale. Overall I enjoyed the story, but hate that I couldn’t enjoy it more than I wanted to or would have liked.

Repair (Rescue Me Book 1) by Trish Williford – Review by Opal Nelson

RepairRepair by Trish Williford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A hidden gem! To say that I enjoyed this book is an understatement. This novel digs deep and wrenches every bit of emotion from you. There is remorse, disappointment, hurt, and happiness (just to name a few) that transcend from the pages and envelopes the reader in a cocoon where the reader has no other choice but to be a part of the characters’ journey. I admire Tank’s strength in making amends for the disservice done to the heroine and Charlie’s bravery in her vulnerability. Their path towards reconciliation was organic and realistic. This highlighted the fragility of trust, that once broken is possible to mend. Thank you, Trish, for this beautiful story.

Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 2)Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My only disappointment is that I have yet to read book 1 of this series. Fast-paced, action-packed, and riveting are all adjectives used to describe this book. I love a heroine that does not sit and twiddle her thumbs in a corner waiting for ‘Prince Charming’ to come to rescue her. Don’t get me wrong; I do appreciate a take-charge hero as much as the next person. However, a woman that stands up and takes charge of her life and destiny is something worth writing home about; simply put Delilah is a badass. This is not the typical vampire romance novel; Sylvia brings an original and refreshing perspective to their lifestyle. I immensely enjoyed reading and recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVED this book!! I love a good YA/paranormal book and I was hooked. I really enjoyed the different kinds of paranormal used in this story of demons, witches and gargoyles. When Lucy’s mother passes away, she has to go live in Chicago with her uncles. Lucy learns then she is half witch and half demon and her life turned upside down and only the beginning. Add in some twists and turns that also include a love triangle between Lucy, Dylan and Marcus. I also love a strong female character and most definitely Lucy was!! I thought this book was fabulous.

Boy on Hold by JD Spero – Review by Kayla Bullock

Boy ReleasedBoy Released by J.D. Spero
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boy Released is the follow up story to Boy on Hold and picks up 10 years after Tyler is convicted of the murder of Sally Hubbard. Hen, Marcella, and Bernie are living at and running the motel they have purchased. Tyler has been released from the psych hospital and is staying on site in the one of the cabins. When Marcella is brutally attacked, Tyler is the only witness, and quickly becomes the prime suspect. But what really happened on that night? Can Hen, Bernie, Marcella and Tyler come to grips with their new lives?

J D Spero knows how to write a story that draws in the reader, develops characters that are relatable, and keeps the reader engaged until the very end. I loved both the books in this series. The parts of the story from Tyler’s point of view really seem to hit the nail on the head when it comes to schizophrenia and related issues. His story was heart breaking, and the effects on his family where realistic. This is hands down a 5 star book !

I enjoyed the second installment of Pauline Gruber’s series about Lucy and Marcus. This series has it all, love, adventure, drama, witches, gargoyles, and demons.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Girl and the Gargoyle (The Girl and the Raven Book 2) by Pauline Gruber was a great addition to this series. Ms. Gruber really grabs her readers attention in the beginning and doesn’t let go of it until the very last page. She brings back the great characters from book one,as well as some great new additions and while I love Jude, I really loved reading mire about Dylan in this second installment. This book has so much to offer including teenage angst, a love triangle, drama and more. Personally I can’t wait for the next installment in this series to see what happens with Lucy and all of our other beloved characters.

Dangerous Curves Boxed Set 1: 3 Cozy Christian Mysteries by K.L. Montgomery contains the first three books in the Dangerous Curves series. The set contains the books Betrayal at the Beach, Mystery at the Marina, and Shooting at the Shore. The books follow Sunshine the librarian as she solves mysteries in the small town of Bryce Beach. I really have enjoyed this series and the variety of characters that live in Bryce Beach. Sunshine is fantastic and makes me laugh as she gets herself into scrapes and troubles as she investigates and solves the mysteries. I also really enjoy her interactions with the local law enforcement. I look forward to reading more adventures of Sunshine and from this author in the near future.

The Marcy Series Boxset is the first three books in the series. Linda J Burson does an amazing job of grabbing my attention and holding throughout the series. Her attention to detail paints a beautiful picture in my mind’s eye. She introduces Marcy, Brad, and Liam in book one Rage. Marcy is living the American Dream, her own house, and business. She has some issues and she is working through them. I love how much Marcy grows through the series. I highly recommend this box set to follow Marcy and her relationships.

We get the backstory to Isra and how she developed into the person she has become. I really enjoyed this insight into Isra and it gives a new dimension to the characters and the other books. I look forward to reading more in this series soon and from this author.

RepairRepair by Trish Williford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Repair was probably one of the best books I have read this year. I would give this book 10 stars if that was even possible. This book was amazing from the very first page to the very last.

The book starts the day of Jack Easton’s funeral. Charlotte ( Charlie ) and her family are there to support Tank on this horrible day. Tank is pretty much part of the family. Tank and Charlie’s brother Jude have been best friends forever. Charlie has had a crush on Trent for just about her whole life. Trent and Charlie leave so Trent can go change. They never make it back. They end up going somewhere and spending the night. The next day some hurtful things were said which causes Charlie and Trent to never speak a word to eachother for 8 years. Just and Trent’s friendship takes a bit of a hit since Charlie leaves town all because of Trent.

8 years later, Charlie returns to her hometown of Sunnyville along with a job transfer. What will happen when Trent and Charlie see eachother? So much has happened. Trent has a lot to tell Charlie but, will he?
Chapter 19/20 totally gets me and I was going to have to have words with the author. Haha!

You definitely don’t want to miss out on this great read. I cannot wait for book 2.
Such a great read!

The God: A Greek Myth Fantasy Romance (Her Three Immortals Book 2)The God: A Greek Myth Fantasy Romance by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

These books have really sucked me in by the ever so talented Hazel Storm! THE GOD is the second book in the HER THREE IMMORTAL series so I would highly recommend that you go get book one, THE DON before you dive into this one. That one is just as fab, but we pick up right where we left off in that one so you may be a tad left in the dark if you don’t start there. These books take one of my favorite subjects of Greek Mythology and really plays a wonderful spin on it that just is done so wonderfully that I can’t help but love every single moment I spend with the characters. The romance is done well and believable so that is always a plus for me as well. I loved this addition and will definitely be back for the next book that looks like it is due out very soon!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yall, I said it before when I reviewed the first book in the Shadow Chronicles and I will say it again but these books are not your average vampire reads and everyone should go run and one-click them! They are just fab and I have become and instant fan of CR Robertson as a result. I love her knack for writing paranormal romance books and her ability to restore my faith in vampire reads once again. I used to love this genre and really really loved reading Anne Rice and whatnot but just became really burned out and sad when Twilight killed it, yes I know I am one of those that could have done without that whole franchise all together. Anywho Forbidden Mate took me on a magnificent ride and kept me reading late into the night. In fact it kept the hubby up too who may or may not be reading these now, oopsies lol. Not sorry actually. These books have something for everyone with action and adventure, intrigue and suspense and the underlying romance is enough to keep me so glued to the kindle I can’t bear it. I will most definitely be stalking and hoping for book three to be available soon!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tainted was a book I throughly enjoyed. It was like watching a movie in my head instead of reading a book, it was that well written. It kept me in suspense and on the edge of my seat. The character Gerry made my skin crawl every time his part came. Martha wrote him extremely well and I was happy with the way she ended it. I really wanted to see a continuation and how Matt’s and Liz’s relationship turned out! It had just enough steamy parts that got you wanting more, but before it got too descriptive and too into it, it stopped. That’s what I love. It didn’t overwhelm the story and become the main thing. It was nice addition that helped the story along. I can’t wait to read some more of her books!

With a little twist here and there, a story that may have started as predicable became original in a cheeky and lovable way! Descriptions were on point and the flow was perfection! Non-traditional protagonist/antagonist situations makes this story even more original and fun to read.

This story is emotional and raw. It also shows what a mother will do to protect her son. No length to too much.
The struggle to find friends with a mental illness is real. But when you find out you don’t know if the voice you trust is real, how do you come back from that?
This story is so real and happens every day in someone’s world. A lot goes in noticed. Mental illness needs more light shown and this book shined in my opinion.

Her Dark Love (Dark Spells Series Book 4) by Isra Sravenheart
3 Stars

Although this is book four in the series, it reads more like a prequel. It is about Lady Isra as a young, innocent witch before she turned to the dark side. We learn how she joined Wingdom Academy and met Everilda. Once best friends until a man came between them. Isra being young and inexperienced fell fir Jonathan. In the end, he broke her heart and she turned hell bent on revenge.

I enjoyed reading about her as a young girl and learning about her past. I was happy to see Astrid was part of the story and learning how he first became part of her life. Unfortunately there was a lot of repetition once again. I understood that her hair was chocolate brown and her eyes were like emeralds the first time that I read it. It didn’t need to be repeated constantly. The story felt rushed yet at the same time, it felt like there was information missing. I feel like the author should slow down so that she can better express herself better on paper.

Her Dark Love (Dark Spell Series Book 4) by Isra Sravenheart – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Her Dark Love (Dark Spell #4)Her Dark Love by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isra is a young witch with big plans, she is seventeen and wants to enrol in the Wingdom’s Academy of Ancient Magics to learn more magic, however, when she arrives the building is unassuming, apart from the very realistic gargoyles and the classes are boring, but she takes solace in the nature surrounding it. It is during one of these times that she meets a fellow witch with whom she thinks she will get on with, Everilda, another young witch but she seems to be more interested in romance and boys than she is in the craft, but they hit it off despite this.

On another day, Isra is waiting for Everilda in a meadow so that they can spend some time together, but instead of Everilda turning up, it is a mysterious young man, he isn’t showing any signs of magic, but he is attractive and captivating and because she is quite naïve and inexperienced, the fact that he is paying attention to her is a bit of a novelty. She keeps distant yet polite with him and he introduces himself as Jonathan, but is also wary because of the rules of the college, however, she contemplates spending more time with him and she cannot wait to tell Everilda all about it when she gets back to the Academy. This is where Everilda starts to drift away from Isra because it turns out that she also has intentions towards this man, but Isra has come to the attention of a light bringer named Samuel who sends his right hand raven Astrid to observe and report on her actions after hearing of her future.

As time passes and Isra’s relationships with Everilda and James develop, they become more complicated and when Isra finds out that she is involved in a love triangle, she is devastated and cannot believe it, but will she be able to forgive and forget and will Astrid and the light bringers be able to keep her on the path of light, or will the darkness prevail? This is a fantastic story with twists, turns and magic galore which will draw you in to a magical world, while explaining beginnings and the consequences of interfering with the emotions and lives of others until you reach its conclusion.
