This was a really good read! I liked how well the story flowed, and how everything came together. It was very well written, I thought the imagery used was very vivid. I really liked the characters. The author really brought them to life. I had some issues with the beginning, it was a little rough to start but I’m glad I stuck it out and finished as the ending is definitely worth it. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!

Jim Shomos is a first time author for me, but the story sounded interesting. I was not disappointed. From the name of the book, More Text Than Sex, I was expecting a slightly shallow, fluffier piece; what I got was so much more! There are so many wonderfully realistic and well-developed characters that I couldn’t help but cry when things were going poorly and cheer when things went well. Not only were the characters deep, there was so much to the storyline. Although there is a lot of information to this book, it is easy to follow, with great world building. There is music, dancing, sex, family, friendship, and so much more. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs a good book full of humor, wit, and lots of emotions.

WE Blend (Falling for the Rockstar’s Daughter Book 1)
Normally I don’t get into series that only one couple through the series and aren’t complete because I have no patience to wait for the next book to see what happens with the couple I’m already fully vested in, but something told me to give it a try this book a try and I’m so glad I listened.
I got caught up in the story and characters from the beginning and they would not leave me alone until I finished the book and thankfully it was a quiet weekend and I didn’t have to worry about anything else being ignored.
As the mother of 2 adult daughters my heart broke for El and the bubble the family kept her in. It’s not easy to watch our babies grow up and we don’t always agree with their decisions but it’s our job to love and support them unconditionally.
El and Wil just worked from the beginning, the chemistry was off the charts from that first moment and only increased from there.
I’m already waiting for the next book in this series to come out so I can find out what happens next and maybe catch up with Zoe and Sven who I adored.

Groovy storyline. I am a music lover, so this was a different read, but I loved it! I was unable to put it down, and it was a good flowing read. it has it all family drama, romance, humor, love and music. Strong characters with a storyline that intertwined with all three characters. Looking forward to reading more by this author. More Text Than Sex by Jim Shomos My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Melodie is the daughter of an opera singer and the step-daughter of a famous rockstar…so saying music is a part of her life is putting it mildly. She has dreams of being a singer, but her parents want her behind the scenes because being famous means no privacy. Her past is proof of that. However, she will find a way to make her dream come true…even if she has to do it in secret…as El.
Wil is in America for a film program…but he is determined to meet his father face-to-face while he is here. One night, at a bar, he helps a woman out as she is trying to get her foot in the door as a singer. He immediately recognizes her, but promises to keep it secret for a price. What follows the building of a beautiful professional relationship (and persona…even if they don’t quite see it yet).
Wil and El, as WE, make beautiful music that people are enjoying. Wil helps El make the music video that she knows will be the break she is looking for. However, when secrets start coming to light, will their days of working together be over? Will El be resigned to following the life her parents want? Will Wil lose the first person, other than family, that he has truly cared about?
I was drawn into this book by the story and enjoyed the ride I was taken on. El can come off as aloof and conceited, but her past (as it comes out) has shaped her in ways that make it all make sense. Wil is sweet and caring, but his secrets could be his downfall. The ending came quickly and has left me excited for what is to come in the next book. Overall, an enjoyable story.

Ella is the step daughter to a rock star and her life is always in the tabloids if she is noticed. Wil is the son of this rock star even tho he doesn’t know it yet. Wil has come to the states to get help for his mother from Rocker, but to get to him he may have to use Ella. He is starting to fall for her tho and he is having a hard time getting to Rocker. Ella enlisted Wil to help her after her original guitarist couldn’t make the original gig. She may have everything handed to her but she wants to make her own money and her own music. Will Wil be able to continue with this façade without hurting Ella?

More Text Than Sex by Jim Shomos. This was a really good contemporary romance. It’s the story of Annie who is working for a struggling music company so she and her co worker Cat come up with an idea for a song writing contest. To allow them to hold the contest the boss makes them work with Robbie who is a marketing guy with the company. Annie is going thru a through divorce along with a bad custody battle for her son so she is throwing her self into this contest. Annie is also a singer but while married to her abusive ex, he didn’t allow her to pursue that avenue. Cat is a rough around the edges kind of gal and she scares Robbie to death. Robbie is excited about this contest because he has the biggest crush on Annie and thinks working with her on this contest he will win her over. This is a slow burn romance and it is great. The characters feel like your friends by the time you are finished and you are rooting for them all.

If I could go back, I would have read these in order, but only because I would love to have had more of those dark and intense details of her time in captivity. Now I’m just determined to go back and read more about the characters stories. However, Renee and Declan’s story can certainly be read as standalone. I love the realness of this author’s writing and her ability to create frustratingly authentic characters. Is Declan the perfect protector? Not really, but that’s HIM. He does everything in his power to keep Renee safe though, even if he is human and makes some mistakes. Does Renee react how I think I would react to healing from such a trauma? No, but she was authentic and believable and true to her own character. Sometimes readers forget that authors don’t always create the story, but the characters do, and these characters wrote a beautiful one. Great read!

I had a difficult time getting started with this book, but it was worth sticking with it. The dynamics between all the characters was great from the get go. Love that I got to experience some frustration and drama between the different characters personalities as they each are trying to navigate their way through the music industry. I enjoyed that we got all three perspectives throughout this book.

Wil and El are magic. I don’t usually like slow burn, but this was done right. Their chemistry is off the charts and the building of feelings each time they interact is perfect.
El is an interesting character. She is a bit self-centered, but at the same time does little things for people like Frank, and bringing food for Wil when they are rehearsing. Her story is heartbreaking and when we finally learn it her reactions to so many things make sense.
I really like Wil. He seems to be cocky and confident, and he can be those things, but it is also a mask to hide behind. His character growth throughout the book was interesting to see. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series to see where WE goes next.

The Protector by Nicole Flockton is book four in the Freemasons series. Throughout all three of the other books, we’ve gotten a glimpse of what happened to Renee. In this story, we get to see how she takes back her life. Declan has always stayed away although Renee has always been in his mind. But now he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe, to protect her, to love her. This book was definitely a little hard to read, just in the sense of topics. I do think it was handled well and written well. The story between Renee and Declan was much more relaxed due to the nature of what she went through. Renee believes she’s not loveable after the horrible things that happened and Declan doesn’t want to push her but also has a hard time. I really loved this whole series and seeing each of the men get their girl.

This author really brought a beautiful story to life. I felt so much as I read, the want to change our current living, but finding the path to do so, was the true challenge. Moving and inspirational read!
Peggy was such a great character and I was able not only to relate to her, but feel for her as well. She had grief, and I mean a lot within her time, and now her kids had gotten their own wings, she wanted to find hers. Doing so, took ambition, blood , sweat, and tears. Peggy had a lot of guilt as I said, its more than just that. The fears and issues she had to work through is something we all as we get older, may undergo one way or another. Not having someone (kids went off to college) a big one for me, not being enough. I found the book very light hearted and inspiring. Peggy and surrounding charters made the story very realistic, and beautiful i many ways. I truly felt for this story and Peggy, and loved the story with all my soul!
Absolutely loved this wonderful author. And the way they did their writing as well. I was very happy and impressed with this story! Loved it! Highly recommend this must read book and author!

The Protector is a very good addition to the Freemasons series. It wasn’t my favorite of the four books but I still thoroughly enjoy it. Some very dark themes that are hard to review objectively. When one has gone through those things, who is one to sympathize or judge. Yes this is a work of fiction but the ptsd the main female character goes through is very real in today’s world. It’s scary to know young kids, men and women are taken every day from their families into the same life Renee was forced to live in this book. This author is a favorite of mine for a reason, she writes her characters so well. The development and growth becomes a wonderful experience for the reader. You become invested in these characters and you don’t want their stories to end. Declan and Renee have a long way to go. She’s broken and relearning how to live her life as the person she is now. He loves her so unconditionally he would do anything for her, even if it sacrifices his happiness. It’s as long as she’s happy. He doesn’t want to push her but just to be there for her. Do Declan and Renee get to explore what was between them before she was taken? How does she cope being back in the real world? Like I’ve stated before the themes are dark but the love and romance throughout is absolutely beautiful.

This was a 5 star read. I’m really enjoying this series and the author. I got pulled in right from the start. Renee has had a tough early life. Declan is her brother’s best friend. These two have an attraction that continues to grow between them. I loved how sweet Declan was to Renee along with being protective. My emotions were all over the place. It was great seeing characters from the previous books. If you’re looking for a great read that pulls you in, 1-click and get started today.

The Protector is book 4 in this series and I very highly recommend reading all the books in order to get to know each character….and this story of Declan and Renee…..my heart….their story took me on a roller coaster of emotion.
Renee is finally home after being rescued as she abducted and taken to far away from Perth. The aftermath of her abduction has Renee on edge and fearful and the one comfort she has is being near Declan, who is her brother, Jude’s, best friend. Renee has so much healing and trauma to overcome, Declan is protective and patient and trying to be there for Renee in her recovery. Will Jude and Renee get the happily ever after they both deserve even when the person who set up the abduction of Renee returns? Definitely read and find out….
This story of Declan and Renee had so much….Danger, intrigue and some truly tender moments that I just loved….I love how the author intertwined each character in the book and this series of The Freemason was truly fabulous…so well done!!!

All I can say about this series is wow, and book four really blew me away. I just discovered this author in the last year and she is quickly becoming one of my favorites. This story is Renee and Declan’s story and while it is a slow burn it is definitely well worth it. The character development is simply amazing, the plot is fascinating, and the way that the story unfolds is just simply amazing. This is the fourth installment in this amazing series and I simply can’t wait for more. So whether you’re looking for a new series to read or just a new book, then simply pick up this one today.

Renee has been kidnapped by someone who deals in sex trafficking. When she returns she starts going through therapy to try and move on, but she of course has set backs from things that trigger those memories she hopes to forget. Her brothers best friend, Declan, was once one of her closest friends and they are once again working toward that close friendship, possibly more. Though Declan still has feelings for Renee he decides not to act on them in order for her to heal. When Renee goes missing again while at a wedding they can’t help but fear the worst. Was she kidnapped again? Or did she leave of her own accord? Will they get a happily ever after or is Renee too scarred from her past to be truly loved and happy? <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

This book was so full of love and so good. Renee is rehabilitating and the patience and love that Declan shows her is everything. There is a plot twist. Renee is more confident and stronger than ever after she’s had to endure what life has thrown at her. Following this series, I have fallen in love with the characters and their lives. These men and the women that they have at their sides are worth falling in love with. I love them all but Declan has a special place in my heart with Renee due to her story and how she overcame it with his help.

This series has fast become one of my favorites to read! I could not get enough of these books and could not put it down once I got ahold of it! This book revolves around Renee, who was kidnapped by terrible people and was able to finally be found and Declan who is a part of the freemasons who has always had a crush on her. I really loved their interaction with one another and the way that their story was written. Renee has a lot of real emotions that people feel when in these situations. It was super refreshing to read this and know that the author has such class writing the story like she did. Now that Renee is back, will she let herself finally fall for Declan or will her emotions and feelings stand in the way of her finally having happiness? I could not get enough of this book!! I cannot wait to buy these books for my sister and our friends to read them!!!

I have been loving this book series since book 1. As much as I am sad to see the finale of the books happen, I loved how the author created these books and brought them to life, and gave the perfect ending!
This one in particular in the series really got at my heart strings i must say! Declan was a character impossible not to love, he was a good man with a good heart. Renee I related to a lot as well. She went thru stuff and did not seem worthy in her opinion to the most special in her life. When her past comes back to haunt her, she finds comfort in Declan’s arms. Their moments were sweet, full of steam, and you really truly felt the feelings and emotions between them! I was very happy with how this book went. The book series was stellar from book 1 all the way through this one, the finale. Perfect series which I absolutely loved!
I could never get enough of this author or series. The series, this book installment, and author are a high recommendation from me! It was bitter sweet to reach the end of the series, but the journey was by far unforgettable. Definitely a must read for sure. I highly suggest reading all the books in this series!

Jude’s sister, Renee was abducted and was held in a sex tracking ring for 3 years. She was pretty much the first person people saw when they walked in, much like a greeter. She definitely did have to participate in actions but not as much as others I do not think. Jude’s best friend Declan and Renee were close before she was abducted and both had feeling for one another but were afraid to act on them. Now that Renee has been rescued, Declan stays on sight in the place Renee is placed to help her cope. She has therapy there, and slowly starts to have lunch with Declan. Declan is the only person Renee feels absolutely comfortable with. She does have setbacks and the person she calls first is always Declan. They both care a great deal About eachother but Renee has alot of triggers and issues when it comes to people near her or Touching her. Everything seems to be going at a great pace as Declan and Renee get back to how close they were before she was abducted until Dominic’s wedding. At a moment during the wedding, Renee, Declan and Jude’s fears come barreling into reality when Renee goes missing again. Was she taken, is she in the bathroom, or did she just leave without telling anyone? I thought this series was so good and I loved the plot that all the books worked around. I hope to read more by this author soon. Each book was great to read but I recommend reading them in order to get the full effect.

What a conclusion to this fantastic series!! So creatively written with such wonderful characters that you just can’t help taking them into your heart. This book explores Renee and Declan whose bond is undeniable but they have so much to work through as Renee tries to build a life again after being rescued. The author created such truly amazing characters whose strength is just indescribable! Renee is just such an amazing woman whose inner strength, even if at first she can’t see it, is inspiring. I highly recommend you reading this as soon as you can!! Don’t stop at one book read the whole series!!

The Protector is the fourth and final book in The Freemasons series by Nicole Flockton. I have absolutely loved reading this series and meeting our sexy Freemasons. And this book certainly finishes the series off on a high note. It was a bit of a bitter-sweet read for me as I wasn’t ready to say goodbye, but at the same time I couldn’t help but devour the book to find out what happens. I didn’t need sleep, I needed answers lol… As with the rest of the series, this is a fantastic contemporary romantic suspense, with plenty of emotion, chemistry, angst, steam, danger, intrigue, action, suspense, sweet and tender moments, heart-warming scenes, recovery, redemption, hope, and healing. It has a ‘brothers-best-friend/best-friends-sister element which was the perfect way to end the series. After everything that Renee has been thorough, and the Freemasons in finding/rescuing her, she considers herself broken and ‘tainted goods’ unworthy of being loved. Declan’s protective nature comes to the fore, and he’s determined to do whatever it takes to protect her. What happens when the past comes back and threatens to destroy her life, again. Can Declan protect her and keep her safe? Will these two get their chance for their own HEA, or will the past prove too difficult to overcome? This is definitely worth the read to find out…. I highly recommend reading the previous three books before starting on this one, as even though each book focuses on its own particular couple, there are overlapping/common elements, recurring characters, as well as each book contributing to painting a bigger picture… So having all that previous information on board will definitely enhance your reading experience of this book and give you a greater appreciation of the series, as a whole. Now I really can’t wait to see what Ms. Flockton brings us next. Happy Reading!

In this the fourth instalment in The Freemasons series The Protector takes on this role to watch over Renee which we learnt all about in the third book. This has become one of my fav series. I love the characters that Nicole has brought to life flaws, rawness and all. I have fallen in love with each and every one of them. Given that we learned in the previous book I suggest reading the books in order as you get to see more of who they truly are and have more understanding of what happened in readiness for this book.
The Protector is a brother’s best friend romance that will leave you wanting more. Declan makes you want to swoon with his tenderness towards the broken Renee and his desire to keep her in his life in any way he can. BUT watch out when she is threatened.
This delicious romance tale is a slow burn with love and caring. There is also some danger, secrets, lies, fear, hope, angst, age old secrets.

Declan has loved Renee since they were children. Renee felt the same way…but that was before she was kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. Renee was taken away from her family and friends for nearly three years. During those long years, she never lost hope that she’d be rescued somehow, even through all of the Once Renee is rescued and returns home, she sets off to start trying to reclaim her life even though she is constantly afraid, at first, of doing that very thing. With Declan by her side, she eventually gains more confidence and begins to feel like she can manage not just her life, but possibly even a physical relationship with Declan. After everything she’s been through, Renee and Declan deserve the happily ever after that they are finally able to find.

This was an interesting story to read and I love how the you feel the presence of music and lyrics all through the book. It is a romance build around a music studio and all the goings on that happen there but at the same time there are also other little stories running alongside and it all joins together beautifully.
I really love Annie’s character. She is a very strong and determined woman. She has a passion for music and a talent for singing which her ex husband tried to stop but in this story she is trying to make her comeback all while organising a songwriting contest with 2 people who hate each other and fighting her ex husband for custody of their son. These sides of Annie really help to show her as a real person and not just a character in a story.
The romance between her and Robbie is a very slow burner but it’s beautiful to see and read. I loved Robbie’s character but I feel he needed a bit more backbone especially around Cat. Cat terrifies him lol.
But these 3 people need to work together to make this songwriting contest a success but will that be easy with all the other things and situations happening around them?

I absolutely fell in love with this book. Renee was rescued and this is her story along with Declan’s. You feel every minute of Renee’s emotions as she is adjusting back to a free life. Declan has been in love with her for a long time and he will wait for her. He is her safe place/ He is her person. Out of everyone, he is the one she trusts and goes to. Renee goes to Hell and is partially back. She and Declan have a long journey ahead but Renee is determined not to let her fear take hold. You have to read this book. It really is an incredible story. All the characters from the previous books are in here. The author ties the book up nicely. The storylines tie up and flow smooth. That ending…..BAM! I didn’t see that coming. Renee is a fierce woman that just needed to remember to believe in herself. An amazing book! I would have given it more than 5 stars if I were able to.

Renee Cadmon’s innocence was stolen from her when she was kidnapped and sold to the highest bidder. Ever since she was rescued from that horror, taking the next step to reclaim her life is harder than she possibly imagined. Always beside her is her brother’s best friend, Declan Burkhard. Before she was taken, she had hoped they could become more than friends. But now, there is no way he’d want anything to do with her broken and tainted soul.
Declan has always had feelings for his best friend’s sister, Renee, and that hasn’t changed. Even if she believes she’s not worthy of being loved, he knows that’s not true. He will do whatever it takes to protect her as she adjusts to her newfound freedom. Even burying his desires. As long as he can be part of her life, he will be happy.
When the person who orchestrated her abduction returns, Declan will protect Renee while eliminating the threat—for good.
