AbsolutionAbsolution by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dominic Price thought he had found the woman who was meant to be his, only to have her go missing and being framed for it. Spending time in prison has changed Dominic, he has started over but he doesn’t trust women as far as he can throw them.

Whitney Greene is living her life but when a voice speaks to her to seek out Dominic, she acts on it. Dominic is furious when he meets Whitney, but then he decides to use her to get the answers he wants. What happens when the shell around his heart begins to crack the more time he spends with Whitney?

This was different than what I expected. I thought this was fast paced and was pulled in right away. I liked Whitney a lot, she is an intriguing character who really tries to prove she was not involved. Dominic’s character is spot on, I thought his emotions were what I would believe they would be if in the same situation. Well written, great book.

Vaughn’s Xena
By: M.I. Rosegold

This book is not for everyone. I truly enjoyed it though – it pushed me out of my comfort zone. It is a best friend’s brother romance. It features Xena and Vaughn. Vaughn is Xena’s best friend’s brother. She has had a crush on him forever. But she thinks he is not dating, in fact she thinks that he hates women. When she finds out that he feels the same way about her things get very steamy, in fact, smutty. I enjoyed reading about their relationship and the author writes in such a way that one can actually visualize what is happening in this story. Their relationship was incredibly complicated in more ways than one but I liked watching them navigate this.

Absolution
By: Anise Storm and Taylor L Ray

This book began with a trigger warning and let me tell you that it is deserved, so make sure to read it. But this is a dark, steamy, dark and twisty read. Dominic was abandoned at a young age and has been taking care of himself. He has fallen in love with Juliana and Juliana loves him. However, Juliana’s father is not a fan and has forbidden him to see her. He definitely feels that Dominic is not good enough. One night Juliana goes missing and needless to say Dominic is the first one to get blamed. This turns Dominic into a very angry, dark man. Years later he meets a woman who looks just like Juliana but isn’t. This is where the story gets super interesting. I want to end it there because I don’t want to spoil this for anyone. This book is absolutely amazing but also twisty.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nadija Mujagic’s The Exchange will have you on the edge of your seat wondering what twists and turns it will take next! I could not put this book down, right from the very beginning you are thrown into a mystery that will keep you asking, what happened to Jake? I love how the author starts chapter 1 with what is happening right NOW and then in chapter 2 she takes you back to the past 4 years prior and leads you back to the present to finish the book. Be prepared to be shocked at all the things that Sam goes through in her life before she gets back to her search for Jake. You will fall in love with several of the characters and others you grow to despise, beware that not everyone is who you think they are! There are parts that will have you in tears, and other times that you will be gnawing at your fingernails, anxious about what is going to happen next.

The Man In BlackThe Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fenimore James is bored with his life, with his name, with his clothes, and everything about himself. He has always dreamed about leading a more exciting life and becoming a famous outlaw. Fenimore decides to runaway from home and change both his name and his appearance. On his way out west a chance encounter with a notorious outlaw has him joining the notorious Red Evans gang. Simon Shaw, as Fenimore now calls himself, gets more than he bargained for when the members of the Red Evans Gang start to get murdered one after another.

This book had a memoir feel to it as we read about Fenimore’s life and adventures first hand, and in his own words. Fenimore seems like a meek and mousy homebody so when he decides to join a notorious gang it comes as a bit of a surprise. How will Fenimore/Simon handle life as a gang member? Throughout his adventure Simon also finds an unlikely romance with one of the gang members. Gang life is complicated enough but to add a MM romance to it only complicates Simon’s life even farther. This book has action, adventure, mystery, and romance all in a historical western setting.

This is a gritty and action packed story, with a lot going on from start to finish. You can feel the passion the author has for this story from the detail that has been included. At times the story felt a little bit slower to read but the basis of it stayed strong and interesting.
I was definitely intrigued to find out what was going on. The slow build really added to the story, creating a great thriller. I thought the characters all fit within the story well. This is the first book that I have read by this author and although there were times I wanted more pace, it was a good story. I will look to read more in the future.

Tataw has created a great resource, especially for writers who may just be starting out. Not only does Tataw list different companies for varying services, she also provides detailed explanations for why an author may need those services. I was also impressed with the checklist she provided at the beginning of the book for authors to use to see what services they might need so they could just go right to those pages. I think this would be a great resource for all writers and authors, but I really think it would be great for any indie writer/author who may just be starting out and maybe a bit lost in the wide world of everything that is writing.

I loved the book and thought it was a very cute story. The illustrations are bright and eye catching, I loved the pirate names and know kids will have no problem paying attention to the story. It’s a great book to read before your little one starts school for the first time or even moving onto a new class. I know many kids are so excited to start school and nervous once they’re there, being able to relate to Half-Pint and seeing that she’s fine in the end will help them.

Night Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation #0.5)Night Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you were looking for a quick all-night sex extravaganza, then Night Hawke is your book. Issac Hawke is a newly graduated lawyer who is leaving Chicago to move back to New Orleans to be a part of the family business. He thought having one more amazing celebration with a gorgeous redhead would do the trick. The two spark up a conversation both wanting the same thing – a really good one-night stand. The catch is that they want to end it with no strings, which means no real names; Isaac goes by Nolan and the redhead goes by Jack. Well, this one-night stand becomes the best thing either one of them has ever experienced. The whole story is a prequel that starts their relationship, but the only thing that really occurred was a lot of untruths (to safeguard each other’s feelings, but also their lives) and sex, lots and lots of sex. “Jack” you don’t really learn much about her except that her family is highly controlling and she isn’t supposed to be out. She makes little hints but there is no description of why she is kept “captive” by her family – my guess will be maybe mafia related. Either way, the two feel more then they expect when one night turns into two. However, while Nolan wants more, he is left wanting when she up and leaves in the morning. He has no information on how to find her except that she lives and is from Chicago – he doesn’t even know her real name. As characters, I find both of them charming, and mysterious, but want more for their lives. That is the only info you get so the prequel sets you up for future stories, but you have no idea what that will be. It worked because I am interested to find out what happens.

However, I did and while I found the ending to be tied up too neatly; I did enjoy how well-written the characters were. Although this book didn’t resonate with me, I would still recommend it.

This is a very detailed and nicely though out guide to help any author looking to publish their works. The book goes through many aspects, such as, editors, publishers, checklists, marketing and everything in between. I like that this author included, after each section, companies or people who could help in that particular area. There are lists of editors, publishers and more. The amount of detail that went into listing each of these contacts and the description of each area of getting a book published is phenomenal. I see this helping many aspiring authors in their road to success. It is also nice to see authors helping other authors get their works noticed.

Wow, I don’t even know where to begin. The book is long, it seems to me it could have been shorter and still give the same impact, but I am here to tell you, don’t let that stop you from reading this book, because it was fantastic. In the beginning I asked myself why I decided to take this on and by the end I felt like my heart was ripped out, the story was over and I was wishing it wouldn’t have. My emotions were up and down and there were times that I felt I had a grasp on who was killing the members of Red’s gang. By the end I was surprised at who the killer turns out to be, I didn’t see it coming, and my heart broke with the relationships and how they turn out. Simon seems like a good guy, I think his obsession with being in a gang and being notorious quickly became something he dreaded once he joined up with Red’s gang. But by the time he realizes he wants out, he has formed bonds and friendships he can’t imagine letting go. At first I hated Monty and by the end he was one of my favorite characters. Ford and Red quickly went down on my list, Ford seemed a little unhinged to me and Red seemed to be slowly going crazy with the murders happening. The way the romance is described is sweet and not detailed at all, the murderer and the way he murders is very inventive and fits in so nicely. I ended up really loving this book, I didn’t think I would because I am not really into western style reads. I look forward to more from this author.

This book is about Landry and the middle school dramas we adults can remember going through. She had two friends, they went to do a tryout, but when she made it and they didn’t, they got jealous and started bullying her. Then the peer pressure was there when they pressured her to do the tryout to begin with. I had bullies, peer pressuring, and so much happen to me in middle school. I hope I can say that any middle schooler should read this book and learn what to avoid and how to get out of situations. It was a good book to read with so much information!

This book is SPICY!!!! Oh my goodness, this book hit on every level I look for when reading erotica. It has the forbidden love interest, the secret that is being hidden, the burn between main characters, and the writing to keep you turning pages. This book is really well written that you get instantly caught up in the story and are swept away till the end of the book. It will leave you wanting more and more. The spice isn’t the only thing that will keep you turning the pages and fanning your face, there is an actual romance story in this book. Sometimes you get books that are all steam and spice with no depth but this book does not disappoint. There is an amazing romance and love story to add to the steam. By intertwining the love story with the amazing characters and the steam; the pace of this book is quick but it is good. Maybe it seemed quick because I couldn’t put it down.?. There doesn’t seem to be anything that is really not needed in the story and you are constantly getting all things that you need throughout the book. This is only possible with the amazing writing that the author has done. I highly recommend reading this book and I can’t wait for the next one in the series.

Vaughn’s Xena is the first book in the Dirty Rockhard Billionaire Series and is a Romance that once you start reading there’s no putting it down. This is a fairly new author to me and I’m definitely going to be looking into what other books they have written. The authors style of writing along with her creative characters that are relatable and fully developed yet raw at times makes for an amazing story. This is Vaughn and Xena’s story. Vaughn is the type of man who likes to be in control and he usually gets what he wants. He’s sexy and charming and is the owner of a chain of nightclubs. He has his eyes on one woman and that’s his little sisters best friend Xena. She is a fierce woman who has a dirty dark secret. Whew these two have serious hot chemistry between them. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Three Made In Heaven is the first book in the Made In Heaven series by Elena Kincaid. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Kincaid, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into the story. I was curious about what I would find- and am so happy that it was even better than I had hoped for.
This was a great introduction to Ms. Kincaid’s work, and has given me a taste for more… I will definitely be continuing this series, as well as exploring any other works I can find.
Maddie, Charlie, and Cole took me on an unexpected journey- one that snuck its way under my skin and had me devouring the pages to find out what would happen. The paranormal aspect to this story really gave it an extra element of intrigue. From dreams to reality. This story had me invested right from the get-go. I was pulled further into the story as the page count mounted. These three tell an intriguing and very memorable tale. I can’t wait to see where this series goes…. So bring on Book #2!
If you love a captivating paranormal romance with a sexy menage (MFM), longing, drama, danger, chemistry, steam, tension, emotion, suspense, and a touch of fate- then this is definitely the story/series for you!!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Elena Kincaid!

I didn’t realize this was a companion novel to The Brass Compass, but I can say that I feel it is a good standalone book. I didn’t get lost throughout the story, but I will definitely go back and read the previous one just because it was an amazing book! I felt transported to the 1950s and was in awe of the author’s ability to paint such a realistic and suspenseful picture with each page. CIA operative Miriam is attempting to recover from a nearly-fatal mission when she finds out that an old friend desperately needs her help. After Jake gets trapped behind the Iron Curtain, Miriam panics. She doesn’t know who to trust but knows she has to get Jake before the KGB does. I highly recommend picking up this book, especially if you enjoy historical adventures!

True Colors by Krysten Lindsay Hager is book one in the Landry True Colors series. This was a fast and easy read, totally clean as well. As a whole the book was good. As an adult reading I found it a little boring at times because it was middle school so it’s nothing like I usually read. However, thinking like a teenager, it felt like I was in middle school all over again! It made me feel like I was there and thinking as if I were a preteen again. So much friend drama, was it really like that?! (Yes, yes it was.) the story is about Landry and how she loses her best friends. Between trying to navigate life and figuring out who she is, she just wants to make it through school. Definitely a book I’d let my preteen read.
