Infamy (Feisty Lawyers, #2)Infamy
By: Seelie Kay
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Infamy (Feisty Lawyers #2) by Seelie Kay was an fast pace heart pounding read, that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read by this author or in this series. This is a continuation series, and though this book can be read as a standalone, I highly suggest reading the first book, as there are many references to it, as well as much needed background info and character development.

Wow, I am loving this series. As far fetched as this story may seem, at the same time the writing and attention to detail, makes you believe you’re a fly on the wall to a real life spy org. My fav scene is actually within the first few chapters. Cade is scolding Dianna for not being professional, and I don’t know why I like that scene so much, but it was like the author took all that was wrong with the normal female MC, tossed it at you in the first chapter, then in the next, bitch slapped it out of the story. Bluntly stating, that actions like that could get yourself or worst your buddy killed. I think I’ve been waiting for a scene like that… bravo!

That superb writing only gets better as this high stakes story picks up its speed and intensity. I’m not going to go into that because this story is about 121 pages, so any more I say will spoil this wonder. I can tell you that you will be on the edge of your seat! So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will get caught and trapped by this action thriller.

Happy Reading

Claimed by Via Mari

5-stars

Claimed by Via Mari is an incredibly thrilling and suspenseful romance read with a perfect dose of BDSM. This is the third book in The Torzial Affair series, a series that must be read in order as each book follows where the last one left off.

I have thoroughly enjoyed following this series from start to finish, just like the first two I was able to read this book in one sitting as I got so caught up in the story that I didn’t stop until I reached the end.

Via Mari took me on an incredible journey with this series that I can’t wait to read more from her in the near future!
I would recommend this series to others!

This is the first book in the Boys of RDA series and I can say that it’s definitely off to a good start! I really enjoyed this book and found it to be very refreshing. The author has definitely created characters that we can relate to. The book was just a page turner I couldn’t put it down.

I really like how the author creates the drama around Finn and Aspen. The way that they meet and get together is actually quite realistic. I found that even though there was a bit of up and down for Finn and Aspen it just adds to the book and keeps the reader’s interest. I really look forward to reading more from this author and this series in the future.

CLAIMED (The Torzial Affair Book 3)CLAIMED by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Claimed is the third and final book in the Torzial Affair Series by author Via Mari. This is the culmination of Jenny Torzial and Brian Carrington’s relationship and begins where Bound left off, in the courthouse with the verdict of Jenny’s trial. But just because the verdict is in doesn’t mean that the danger is over for Jenny or Brian. Someone wants Jenny silenced and Brian is willing to do anything for that not to happen.
The first half of this book was centered around the D/s relationship that Jenny and Brian are building which at times became a little redundant. Watch out for that halfway point though because that is where the nail-biting action takes off. There were so many twists and turns that I was on the edge of my seat, turning the page as fast as I could, because I needed to know what was going to happen next, who exactly were the bad guys, and would Brian be able to protect his love. By the end of the story I needed a drink it was that good of an ending. I will say, the author leaves you wondering though about certain characters (Jenny’s niece, brother and bodyguard) and whether they will get stories of their own. Hopefully they will and I will be one reader looking forward to reading about them. Thank you, Ms. Mari, for several hours of entertainment!

Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan, #2)Movie Star by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Movie Star is the second book in the 21st Century Courtesan series by Pamela DuMond. It is an amazing read and you absolutely need to read the first book as otherwise you will feel a bit lost (like I did as I started with the second book!).
It is a spellbound story where Evie (our main character who we follow through all the books in the series) takes on her second client – a huge movie star Jake Keller who has some heavy hitting secrets. He is lost and shutting down and Evie needs to dig in and create her magic! There are many revelations for Evie in this one and her psycho “fan” is stepping up their game too and also someone from her past keeps turning up… there is a lot going on here and you need to be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster!
I cannot wait to see what waits Evie in the next book of the series! Please keep them coming!

Rush (The Boys of RDA Book 1) by Megan Matthews is a contemporary romance story with comedic flair. Megan Matthews is a new author to me, and I found her writing style to be fresh and free flowing. The characters are developed and could be my friends. The story was genuine and fun. I cannot wait to get into the next story in this series. A little about the story, if you can imagine a graduate student who is ready to tackle the world moves to San Francisco. This is a new start for her and she cannot wait to start living life. She moves into this apartment that has some of the most ridiculous rules. She will keep her head down and follow all the rules except she has noticed the hottie who moved in the apartments. Will she be able to execute her five-year plan, or will she fall short of her goals?

Luke by Madison Quinn is the first book in the Dark Water Security Series. This book covers some fairly dark themes and may not be suitable for all readers. However, if you are ok with this then you really should give this book a try!
This book was such an emotional one, it was deep and gritty and really knows how to sink its claws into you. The opening throws you straight in, leaving you gasping to keep up with everything going on. You know immediately that you are in for a serious ride.
As the first book I have read by this author it has introduced me to someone I will definitely have to check out in more depth.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just finished reading Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan, #2), by Pamela DuMond.

This book is somehow, even better than the first!

I don’t know if it’s because we know Evie and the girls a lot better now or if it’s because I *might* like Jake better than Dylan (sorry Dylan, I still love you though), or a combination of both.

I completely fell for Jake, who is very down to earth, despite being a huge movie star.

He cares for his employees, his friends and of course, Evie.

Evie, will stop at nothing when she is helping people – despite everything that she is going through in her personal life (a creepy fan, her family, her job).
She will do her best to get to the bottom of the deep dark secrets Jake has tried to bury, so he can heal and get back on his superstar track.

I really wasn’t prepared for the last bit of the book – a double whammy got dropped and I can’t wait to see the ending.

Pamela DuMond – you outdid yourself and I’m so grateful that you did!
I really, really liked the first book in this series and I was over the moon but I LOVED this one even more!

I can’t wait to read more of your books!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan) by Pamela Dumond is a five star novel. As soon as I started reading this book, it took me back to the first book and immersed me right back into the story of Evie. After reading the first book, I knew I needed to finish this series and could not hardly wait to read more. I read this book in an evening, after working a full day. But what a way to end a long day! This book is steamy, sexy, and intriguing all at the same time. Evie is a contractor where she goes and helps successful struggling men to get their groove back. She has a crazy knack for being able to feel people’s pain or discomfort and then being able to insert herself into their lives so that she can help them work through the pain. When her stalker reappears in her life, it starts to make things go blurry but she tries her best to put it to the side so she can help her newest client Jake.

Stepping It Up by Bea Stevens
The Liberty Lawrence Series Book 2
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

The second book in the Liberty Lawrence series is just as great as the first book. This book can be read as a stand alone but, I think it’s better to read the first one too, to get the background of some of the characters like Tom, Cassie and James.

In this book it seems that Libby is in all sorts of trouble and is getting the blame for everything that happens. She is now working for the paper and is going after stories with her partner Dave. She can’t stand working in the department she is in because there are some snotty girls and then Dave she has to deal with, the only bright side, she gets to be near her friend Tom. Libby still overthinks everything, as she usually does, and gets into trouble more than a couple times with jumping to the wrong conclusions.

When she meets James’ ex-wife Suzanne things start looking grim for her future relationship with him. There is a nice loud argument between Suzanne and Libby at a gala that turns things from bad to worse and, it seems Suzanne will be sticking around because she is trying to sell her and James’ house, but she doesn’t realize she is being conned. James has to spend a lot of his money and time on this case and it is wearing on his relationship with Libby.

James’ ex wife Suzanne is a real piece of work and some of the things she says or thinks she is owed makes me want to slap her. I can definitely understand Libby’s frustration with the situation, but also I am confused why it is taking so long for James and Libby to push forward with their relationship. I loved this second installment and have a feeling there will be a third, and I can’t wait to see what happens next with this hot mess they are all in!

Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan, #2)Movie Star by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Movie Star is the 2nd book in the 21st Century Courtesan series by Pamela DuMond. I would definitely recommend reading the first book, Player, before reading this one. It can be read as a stand-alone but the story will make more sense if you have read the first book.
Movie Star continues on from where Player left off and like Player it just stops at the end leaving you screaming WTF!! Why does Pamela DuMond do this to us? In this book Evie is hired to work with top actor Jake Keller who is losing all interest in his work and pulling away from everyone. It’s Evie’s job, as an empath, to find out what is causing Jake to pull away and to heal him.
Breaking down Jake’s walls isn’t easy and when you finally discover why, it is heart-breaking. Pamela DuMond deals with this issue fantastically and with sensitivity.
As with the first book, there are other subplots going on too. We get more of her dealings with Easton Wolff, one of the brothers who her mother ran over when they were teenagers. We also get more of her mother’s story, her mother who has been receiving psychiatric help since this incident years ago.
I really enjoyed this book, more so than the first book in the series. Evie is a wonderful, compelling character and I look forward to see what the author has in store for her in the next 2 books in this series.

Infamy (Feisty Lawyers, #2)Infamy by Seelie Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Infamy is the second book in the Feisty Lawyers series. It isn’t specifically a cliffhanger but some of the story line is left open to continue in another book. If you want to get a deeper background on the characters, read book one, although you don’t necessarily have to in order to appreciate this book.

This is not a long book, I finished it in about 2.5 hours. I felt like the story line was a little rushed, but ultimately entertaining. The first couple of chapters were great and I felt like I was actually getting into the characters, but then toward the middle they moved back to more of a superficial connection. Maybe too much speculative dialog? I’m not exactly sure what made the difference.

Overall a decent way to pass some time.

I give Infamy (Feisty Lawyers Book 2) by Seelie Kay, 5 stars.

Harun Ali is told that his brother is seriously ill and asking for him in the middle of the Amazon. He hasn’t seen his brother in a long time and is wary. So he brings his friend and secret agent, Cade, with him. They get there and the dying man tells them something that raises alarms in both these men and all over the states. They uncover a possible terrorist plot. But that is all they know. The agents and lawyers must work to figure out who is behind it and just what is going to happen. Can they do it in time, or will the terrorists win?

This author never fails to amaze me. While there is suspense throughout the book, it starts out more about the couples and their relationships. But then then the suspense turns up a million notches and I cannot put the book down. She pulls me in with the gripping action and I forget everything else until I am done. The characters are so engaging, they feel like they could be your neighbors. At the same time, they are so smart and use any means necessary to keep everyone safe.

This is a romantic suspense that is spectacular. I highly recommend this book and series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Deepest Midnight by Clara Winter
4 Stars

This is book one in the Immortal Kindred series. As far as vampire stories go, this one is interesting because the author throws in the idea of reincarnation as well. Millicent was alive in the 1700’s and was a French noblewoman. She fell in love with a man who wasn’t her husband. Soon after she became a vampire and for over two hundred years mourns the loss of her true love. By chance, she meets a man who is the spitting image of her lost love. Does reincarnation exist? Can this actually be him?

The story switches back and forth between the 18th century and present day so we fully understand Millicent’s life. The author did a good job because you never get lost within the story. Milli’s knowledge of vampire history is limited to only what her maker told her, which isn’t much. She has only lived with her maker and another vampire, rarely meeting any other immortal. Guaranteed this will lead to some interesting situations later in the series.

This is the first book that I have read from this author. I found the story to be easy flowing and interesting. There was romance, drama and mystery rolled all together which made an intriguing story. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next.

I understand why she does it but not the benefit to her. I actually enjoyed this second book more than the first. Jake needs help and Evie is sent in to give him what he needs. This is definitely a new take on Courtesans and what they stood for. The author makes you take a step back and look at the picture from a different view.

The story The Inheritance: The Story of an Unlikely Submissive by India Kells is a steamy book that I loved reading. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and didn’t let go until I had read the ending page. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Lani and Max. Lani is a woman who needs help in order to be able to concentrate on being a successful artist. She is beautiful, passionate about her work, and stubborn. She sees a chance to pursue her dreams when her uncle, after passing away, gives her tasks that if accomplished will leave her with a substantial sum of money. Max is a man who is reluctant to help Lani. He is one that is handsome and demands discipline/control. He is also a man that is haunted. Will he help Lani? Lani will be compelled to submit in order to get her inheritance. Will she be able to complete and accomplish the tasks required? Will she finally realize her dream? Read this book to find out. This story is steamy and emotional. My emotions went up and down with the characters. You can feel the boundaries being pushed by both of them. What will they learn about forgiveness? This story has dirty talking and intense dialogue. While it is not a long story it is one that has powerful and raw emotions. It is a book I would recommend reading.

I can’t say enough about this series! It’s so captivating and so brilliant! Move Star is Book 2 in the 21st Century Courtesan series by Pamela DuMond. Evelyn “Evie” is an escort that makes six figures, not because she beds every man but because she has a special gift. Evie is Empathetic. She can feel other people’s emotions and she has been able to get to the root of men’s problems. In this book, she is on to a new client. This new client is none other than super famous movie star Jake Keller. Jake hasn’t been the same for some reason and it’s her job to figure it out and “fix” him. However, there is still someone in the shadows that continues to send her “fan” mail. There is no clue as to who this person is but that person definitely knows who she is. Not only that there is still the person that she loves the most, but they are both so busy and he won’t buckle down and ask for her hand in marriage. Wait, let’s not forget one of the men that she keeps coming across that hates her to pieces. This book is so complex and yet so intriguing at the same time. I can’t help but read these books in the matter of hours rather than days and not being able to breathe until the last page is read. I adore this series and cannot wait to read the next one. I NEED to know what happens!

Infamy is book 2 in Feisty Lawyers series by Seelie Kay. If you enjoyed Snatching Dianna, book one in the series then you are going to love Infamy. Infamy is a nice quick read, but just because it’s a quick read don’t be fooled to think that this book is not action packed. You will find this book has action, suspense and danger, and not forgetting the twists and turns that makes the story even better. Infamy can be read as a standalone but as with any other series I would highly recommend that you start with Snatching Dianna just for some background history on the characters.

But then the twist of fate that brings them together, and all the cute romantic gestures from each of them is wonderful. It’s truly a story about fate and second chances.

Luke was a great 5 star read and book one of the Dark Water Security.

We start the story with Luke at a young age being tormented and beaten. If he doesn’t win fights his beatings get worse. My heart broke for what he went through. When his tormentor doesn’t think the beatings are enough he brings in someone else that will be beaten in his place. This is when he meets Em. They develop a close friendship and love for each other.

What if I’m tired of surviving?

After their escape we jump ahead a few years. Luke is now a partner in Dark Water Security. He thinks about Em all the time, wondering where she is, if she has a family, etc.. When he meets a friend of his partner that will be assisting in some cases, he is taken back to memories of Em. Could she be his Emily? Can they find the love they once had?

Emily was a fighter just as much as Luke was, they were meant to be brought together to help each other get through this terrible ordeal. Both of them used their experience to help others instead of going down a dark hole. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. I will warn that there are some scenes that may be triggers for some. Madison Quinn does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I can’t wait to read more from this series.

The main characters are very likeable and the story line keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see where you’ll be taken to next. I am excited to see what else this author writes in the future and I would recommend this book to a friend!
Happy Reading!

Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan, #2)Movie Star
By: Pamela DuMond
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan, #2) by Pamela DuMond was an engaging, emotional read, that hooks you and pulls you into the story.

Not my first read from this author or in this series. This is a continuation series so I highly suggest reading the first book. It will give you much needed background info and character backstories.

I very much enjoyed the first book, and this one was equally as enjoyable. They are fast reads so if you haven’t read that first book, you’ll get through it in no time so you can get your hands on this wonder. A detailed drama thriller, you are taken on a heart pounding ride, one that takes you deep into Evie’s emotional world. The super fan is more aggressive, more of her past is revealed, as twists and turns takes the story to a whole other level.

Overall this book was the perfect addition, and it’s that perfect mix of dark, light and mystery. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get hooked.

Happy Reading

Luke (Dark Water Security Series Book 1) by Madison Quinn – Review by Jenni Bishop

Luke (Dark Water Security #1)Luke by Madison Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luke (Dark Water Security Series Book 1) by Madison Quinn is one heart stomping read. OMG this story broke my heart and had the tears flowing. This is my first book by Ms. Madison and I am absolutely blown away. Warning this story may cause triggers. I fell in love with our main characters Luke and Emily and wanted to take out the person who hurt them. This story is dark and oh so raw and my God I can not stop thinking about it, which just goes to show it is worth the read. It is a highly emotional read full of pain and suffering, angst and terror, deceit and horrors you can only dream about. It is well written and the wonderful characters are well developed and multi layered. I read this book in one sitting, I was so invested and there is so much going on in this book and there was never a time that I wanted to put it down. There was no way and I mean no way that I could put it down until I knew the outcome. I also had to remember to breathe, just this simple action was sometimes hard to remember as I was so emotionally into this book.

I will not tell you about the story, I will let you discover it all on your own but as I said before it may cause triggers to some people.

I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in the series and see what happens next.
