A Pink Christmas KissA Pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Pink Christmas Kiss is a another captivating Christmas romance by Allyson R. Abbott. It is a short second chance romance story that is engaging and entertaining and sweet, well most of it is. Miscommunication and secrets seems to have kept them apart. Can they find a way to communicate honestly and find what was once lost?

Billie wanted so much more, but what she found was that the grass is definitely not greener on the other side. Finally coming home means she has to face her past and hope against hope that her past is happy to see her.

Looking for a little Christmas romance then A Pink Christmas Kiss is a great start.

Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology
By: Carrie Dalby, Chelsi Arnold, cj petterson, E. A. Hale, J D Boudreaux, Jolie St. Amant
5 out of 5 stars

Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology is a wonderful set of stories that I loved reading. Having stories that are set around Christmas and then adding in some romance gives you that heartwarming feeling that the season is all about. There is no doubting the magic of the season as you read each story. The woman in these tales are fiery, independent, and strong. While the stories are not long they have enough emotion in them that I found myself with misty eyes and a smile on my face. I found that these stories stayed with me and I thought about them even after I had finished the anthology. Some are set in the past and others are in the present day. All make a lasting impression on your soul. I have read stories by some of the authors and enjoyed reading stories by them again. I also have discovered new authors and look forward to reading more of their writing. This is a wonderful group of stories that have amazing characters. Highly recommended.

Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology by Carrie Dalby, Chelsi Arnold, Cj Petterson, E. A. Hale, J D Boudreaux and Jolie St. Amant and is a series of very short christmas romance and stories told by the different authors. They range from stories told in earlier times to
current times and even the paranormal, but each one is about heroes, falling in love and the joy of the season. There is also a lot of emotions in the stories and some may bring you to tears. But all in all it is a group of stories that will take you on a short magical journey and their diversity will ensure you enjoy that break in reality.

Alive (Sundown Series Book 3)
By: Courtney Konstantin
5 out of 5 stars

The story Alive (Sundown Series Book 3) by Courtney Konstantin is a thrilling book that I loved reading. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world where those who become infected with a plague turn into flesh-eating zombies. This story had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It is suspenseful and at times I had to remind myself to breathe. I loved reading about the characters of Rafe and Charlie. They both work at a facility where secret experiments are being conducted. A plague has started to turn anyone it infects and they find themselves in a world that has been turned upside-down and in chaos. They also find themselves pursued by mercenaries. Will Rafe and Charlie be able to survive both the zombies and those who are hunting them down? Read this book to find out. This story does an amazing job in making you feel like you are right there with the characters and experiencing what they do. I could feel the fear that they have when facing those who are infected. Charlie is a beautiful, smart, and strong woman. She is driven to prove that she can be an equal partner to Rafe, not just a responsibility. Rafe is a man that is determined to keep alive and also protect Charlie. He is someone who is caring and will defend himself and others. There are other additional characters that are introduced in the story and I enjoyed reading about the part that they play and their interactions with Charlie and Rafe. I absolutely love post-apocalyptic tales of survival and this book is an example of why. It is well-written and you won’t want to put it down until you read the last page. Highly recommended.

Hometown Heroes: A Christmas AnthologyHometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology by Carrie Dalby
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology is a collection of five short stories by six wonderfully talented authors. These authors all have different styles and approaches to writing; all are unique and individual- but each story uses the same theme as their inspiration for writing their contribution to this anthology- the common thread running through each of the stories celebrates everyday heroes. Whether their heroism is gained through devotion, or leaving behind the safe and familiar in the hope of adventure and challenge, or saving a life by grabbing them from the clutches of death, or by being a war hero, or being someone who fights for what they believe in, or having the courage to leave a painful past behind in order to embrace the future- we meet a variety of leading characters, each one a hero in their own right and are unique to their storyline. All the stories are set around Christmas, and are packed full of Christmas spirit.

The Anthology contains:

-Courtship and Courage By: Carrie Dalby
-When Time Stood Still By: Chelsi Arnold and J.D Boudreaux
-Hobbes House Noel By: C.J Petterson
-Talking in Code By: E.A Hale
-Safe Haven By: Jolie St. Amant

All the stories are so engaging and believable- with wonderfully written plots, and well developed characters. I have read books by several of these talented authors before- but three of the authors were new to me… so I was excited to not only read the work of the authors I knew and loved, but also get an introduction to some authors who are new to me.
So, settle down for some wonderful reading, which will entice you with heartfelt romance, some suspense, a bit of mystery, history, some paranormal, action, drama, adventure, and more. There is something here for everyone!
I really recommend this Anthology- you won’t regret buying it! It is worth every cent of the purchase price- and by purchasing this anthology you will be helping out a charity in the process, as a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Cajun Navy Relief! #Win-Win!

Thank you to all the contributing authors!

Alive (Sundown Series Book 3)Alive by Courtney Konstantin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Alive is the third thrilling instalment in the Sundown Series by Courtney Konstantin. This is a brilliant zombie, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic story with heart pounding action, drama, danger, government experiments, a plague, and a fight for survival. I am not kidding when I say I was on the edge of my seat for the majority of this story. The book is intense- and Ms. Konstantin took me on an adventure I won’t soon forget. There are a LOT of Zombie/apocalyptic stories that have made the rounds over the past few years, but this one is an original take on Zombie lore- easily pulling me in and keeping so totally engrossed that I lost all sense of time and place. I was in a page-flipping frenzy, desperately needing to know what was on the next page, and in store for the characters. Completely absorbed by the story, I finished it in one sitting. I am still thinking about it several hours later! Now that’s a sign of a great story and a superb author!
Ms. Konstantin has a vividly descriptive style that brought every scene to life. I was right there, in amongst the action, fighting for survival! The story is so gripping, gruesome, and disturbing- but at the same time there is a depth to the story and the multi-dimensional characters, that really sets this book apart from others in the same genre.
This is my first read from Ms. Konstantin- and even though this could be read as a standalone, it is abundantly clear that there is so much more to know, and that has made me even more intrigued by this fantastic story/series. I will definitely be going back to read the first two books, as well!
Honestly, if you love a thrilling read, Zombie/apocalyptic/survival stories with a gripping, well-written plot, and incredibly interesting characters- then this book should on your TBR! It’s a definite ‘must read’!
Addictive reading! Can’t wait for more!

Thank you, Ms. Konstantin!

Alive (Sundown Series Book 3)
By Courtney Konstantin

Alive is the last book in the Sundown Series by Courtney Konstantin. This is not my usual genre of reads but I have to say after the first chapter this book did hold my interest and for the most part had me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was or wasn’t going to happen. I also think I need to go get books one and two, so I know the whole story. What plans do you make when doomsday has arrived? Rafe and Charlie must now make these plans and hope they survive. The world as the humans now know it must fight against flesh eating zombies, where only the strongest would survive. Rafe and Charlie however not only had the flesh-eating zombies to worry about but also the Government radicals to take into account. The Government Radicals were after everyone who worked at Rafes family’s facility and that included Charlie and Rafe. Will Rafe and Charlie survive both the Zombies and the Radicals? Grab the book and find out, you won’t be disappointed it really is worth the read.

Cowboy: Claimed a four-star read you will want to lasso. There are six authors each giving us a great story, each about a different story but with a familiar theme and what a theme, in case you didn’t guess it’s strong sexy cowboys. I wasn’t always a fan of this type of boxed set but just recently I have started loving them as a way to get a great taste of genres and new authors to check out, and I’m glad I did as I have just found a few very good authors I will be checking out again. I will say that each story will bring you a different emotion, some will have you needing a tissue, and some will warm your heart. If you enjoy cowboys or just fancy a change then give this collection a try,

5 out of 5 stars

When I picked up my first Eastern Shore Swingers novel I wasn’t sure what to expect as the subject content was somewhat new to me and outside of my comfort zone. I had read Phoebe Alexander’s writing in the past so I decided to give the series a chance and I couldn’t be happier that I did. The books within this box set are honestly some of the most entertaining, enjoyable and even emotional reads I have read in 2018. I didn’t read them all in sequential order as they are still great as stand alone books. Each story is comprised of the most relatable, honest and raw characters with their own unique past and present. I could go on forever! Do yourself a favor and grab this box set so that you have all the books in one place after you’ve been hooked by the first.

Cowboy: Claimed by Melissa Keir (Author), Cheryl Gorman (Author), Leslie P. Garcia (Author), Becca Turner (Author), Lyssa Layne (Author), D’Ann Lindun (Author). I loved this box set. All of the stories were so good. One of my favorites was Snow Bird Springs: Troy by Cheryl Gorman. Its the story of Alex Kent, a famous artist out of Chicago who has recently suffered a horrible tragedy. She moves to Snow Bird Springs Colorado to try to get her “mojo” back, since the tragedy she hasn’t painted anything. She meets Troy Slade shortly upon arriving and they hit if off instantly. Will Snow Bird Springs help her trust again or will she go back to Chicago still lost and hurting. Also Upstaging The Cowboy by Leslie P. Garcia was a sweet read. It’s the story of Stone Winters, a Marine who comes home and Price Adams, a film star. When the two meet they don’t think they can trust one another. Risking hurt is not what either of them signed up for. This is a Set full of sweet, Cowboy stories. I read them all and loved them all.

Truly Unfortunate
Welcome to Knollville
Book 1
C. A. King
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length novel that includes a paranormal, psychological murder mystery.

Truly has lost her memory of all that happened as a child. She is under Doctors care and he is trying to help her remember. The nightmares are speaking to her and she just does not understand who or why. She works 3 jobs, and still can’t seem to make ends meet. Not to mention the abuse she has to put up with is getting the best of her.

Jeff is a detective, his goal is to find out about the death of a classmate at the young age of 9. Now more “accidents“ are happening. Following the fortunes the bodies are found with. Are they accidents or murder? Who is involved?

C. A. King has built this story up and kept me reading. The characters are well suited for their parts in this book. The suspense is so twisted,it even had me second guessing what is really happening. I love a story that keeps me drawn in. This will definitely make you want more. I’m looking forward to see where the next book takes us. Well Done C. A. King!

Both he and Charlie Brewer work at a facility where secret government experiments are carried out, experiments that are classified even to them. Then the plague breaks loose, and hell arrives on earth.

Rafe and Charlie must band together to stay alive in a world where flesh-eating zombies hunt humankind. But the plague victims aren’t the worst Rafe and Charlie have to worry about. Government radicals are devoted to silencing the last witness to the cause of the plague by killing everyone who worked in that facility– including Rafe and Charlie.

Rafe must do everything he can to keep Charlie hidden. But the chances of them surviving in the wild alone are slim… especially while being tracked down by American mercenaries.

Only the strong will remain. To outlast the plague, they must stay ALIVE.

Life is rich, according to Allyson, but the pocket is empty and she needed time to focus on her writing. It is very easy to get distracted when you see so many beautiful places.

Admittedly, I LOVE a good historical romance. And thankfully this book definitely did not disappoint. The main characters and wonderfully crafted. The reader is immediately transported and immersed into Scotland. I kept thinking if I just closed my eyes and opened them I would “wake” to bonny Scotland. If the Highlands call to you, you MUST read this book ASAP.

Isabella's Painting (Karina Cardinal Mystery #1)Isabella’s Painting by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isabella’s Painting was a great 5 star read and the first book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series.

Karina is a lawyer who discovers something mysterious when she is attending a party with her boyfriend at his parents home. Of course her curiosity peaks and she does some investigating, could she have seen a piece of artwork that was part of a historical unsolved robbery?

I’d gotten it into my head that I would crack a case that neither the FBI, nor highly skilled art detectives, nor investigative reporters had done in the past twenty-eight years. How silly of me

Will Karina’s curiosity bring danger to her doorstep? Will she be able to solve the mystery?

We meet several great secondary characters that added a great element to the story, my favorite was Molly. I really liked Karina, she had me LOL so many times, she was very smart and independent. I really like a book that has me guessing throughout the story, I was thrown off when it twisted in a completely different direction on me. This is my first read from Ellen and I was pulled right in by her writing. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome To Knollville Book 1)Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truly Unfortunate by C. A. King is a five star novel. I have read other books by this author and have loved them all. Even though this is not the normal genre of books that I read, her writing style is fantastic and makes the reader really need to know what is going to happen next. The book continues to go back and forth in time from when Truly was a child and then as she is a twenty something. When Truly is growing up, she feels like she doesn’t belong and no one likes her. The kids at school are brutal. When one of them has an accident and dies, no one thinks twice about it. The girl who died was the typical mean girl and everyone just thought it was fate for something terrible to befall her. But then other people in Truly’s life start dying too. Now it is time to find out if Truly has something to do with it or not. I cannot wait to read the rest of this series when the author returns!

TRULY UNFORTUNATE(welcome to knollville book 1) By C. A. King

Four Stars

Truly Unfortunate was a unique and slightly twisted read. You have this character Truly who has no memory and is surrounded by bad luck. She did everything she could to stay on a good path. There was always someone there putting her down. I was shocked when all the crazy deaths started happening. But was excited for the twist the author threw in the book. I am a firm believer in karma. I think the punishment for the characters crime was extreme but they were wrong. The only thing I wish was different was the details about Truly. She really had no personality and we don’t really get to know her. But I did see the point the author was making this was a story about a mysterious town. I say read this story because it’s a little twisted and if you have a dry or dark sense of humor it’s perfect.

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2) by Lynda Filler – Review by Emily Walsh

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2)Shoot Me
By: Lynda Filler
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2) by Lynda Filler was a fast pace, steamy, interesting, crazy read, with a surprise touch of action, that rounds out this original tale of love, lust, and the dark underbelly that this world has to offer.

Talk about a book that has it all. Shoot me, the second book to the Lie to Me series, was a different type of addition. The first book drags you to the depths of the back streets of male escorts, but ends on a note where you don’t know if the story will continue. This one picks up well after the fact, with our couple from the first, split. You’re left with a sense of aw before you’ve even started. So I do highly suggest reading that first book, even if this one, sort of reads like a standalone.

Like the first, we’re led on a journey that starts out a light, but as the pages flip and you get pulled deeper into this world, the tone gets darker, things get scary and, at one point I got worried for Lynda. She grew so much in this book, I didn’t think it was possible. But Lynda shows us a different side, and if this series continues I can’t wait to see where the authors takes her next.

Well rounded and just an intriguing read, I highly suggest getting your hands on this not so sweet, dark romance. The elements will shock you, the detail will draw you, and Lynda will become apart of you.

Happy Reading

Shoot Me: A Lie To Me Novel
By Lynda Filler
4 stars

If you have not read the first in this series, read before this one.
Shoot me is a continuation from book one. Layla is still trying to cope with Mateo leaving and the adventure she takes to do that was enough to light my kindle on fire.
I felt all Layla’s emotions in this book and now I will wait for the next as I absolutely need it!
Love this authors style of writing it just wraps you up and gets you lost in her world for a bit.

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2)Shoot Me by Lynda Filler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shoot Me: A Lie To Me Novel By Lynda Filler. This book definitely isn’t a standalone alone so go one click book one and one click this one also. This author is quickly becoming a one click author for me, the attention to details is beyond amazing I always feel like I’m a part of the story or just reading it. This story is filled to the brim with emotions, action and steamy parts. But most of all it’s filled with amazing characters with amazing stories just waiting to be shared. From Page one I was hooked and knew I’d be reading it in one sitting because I just couldn’t stop. It’s well written and paced nicely. I was on the edge of my seat just waiting to turn the pages and get lost in Layla’s story! Anxiously waiting to see where the author takes readers next. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to everyone.
