Discovering Desire (Shattered Embrace Series Book #3) by Alyndra Quinn – Review by Angela Hayes

Discovering Desire (Shattered Embrace #3)Discovering Desire by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Discovering Desire is the third book in the Shattered Embrace series by Alyndra Quinn. It is a steamy, contemporary romance, with red hot chemistry, BDSM club, light BDSM scenes, Dom/sub dynamics, Alpha type male/s, dramatic developments, an unhinged adversary, danger, angst, spicey encounters, emotion, and more.
This instalment gives us Derek’s story, ex-Navy SEAL – businessman – and DOM, whom we have met in the previous two books as he is Zachary’s brother and also Ashton’s best friend. But here, we get so much more of him- and let’s just say the temperature skyrockets and sparks fly.
I do wish I had read ‘Whispers in Wonderland’ (a Club Wonderland/Shattered Embrace novella) which is where Derek’s story started, as I think knowing what happened there would have made this book an even better reading experience. So, I will be going back to read it asap.
Happy Reading

Thank You, Alyndra Quinn!

Terri Sabol is an accomplished children’s book author, renowned for her heartwarming and entertaining stories featuring the real-life adventures of her two beloved rescue kittens, Oscar and Emmy. Born and raised in Texas, Terri developed a love of writing and storytelling at a young age, and always dreamed of one day becoming an author. Thinking that was out of reach, she focused on her other dream… teaching.

After graduating from college with a Masters degree in education, Terri worked as an early childhood teacher, and it was during this time that her passion for picture books truly blossomed. She was inspired by the joy and wonder that children experienced when reading and listening to stories, and it was this love for inspiring young minds that led her to create her own series of children’s books.

Terri’s debut book, “Oscar and Emmy Get Rescued”, was published in 2016, and told the heartwarming story of how she came to adopt her two kittens from the animal shelter where she volunteered. The book was an instant hit with children and parents alike, and it quickly became clear that there was a demand for more stories featuring Oscar and Emmy and to help educate children on the importance being involved in pet care.

Over the years, Terri has continued to write new books in the series, each one capturing the unique personalities and quirks of her two adventurous cats. Her books not only entertain children, but also promote the values of compassion and kindness towards animals, as well as the importance of rescue and adoption.

In addition to her Oscar and Emmy series, Terri has also written several other books showing off her writing skills, including “Green With Envy” and “Kneading a Winning Idea”.

When she’s not writing, Terri can be found spending time with her two rescue kitties, Oscar and Emmy. She also loves travelling and exploring new places and visiting old favorites, all the while taking inspiration for her next book. Through her stories, Terri hopes to inspire children to explore the world around them, to embrace their imaginations, to never give up on their goals, and to always be kind and compassionate towards others, especially animals.

Her betrayal started a wildfire.
Amy isn’t as different from Opal as she likes to think. When she turned her back on me, I knew she couldn’t be counted on for real change.
The face of the revolution couldn’t be this self-centered. Couldn’t be her, so I’m taking matters into my own hands.
With help from gem creatures, plant mages, and all those Opal cast aside, I will end the cycle of death and abuse now.
And I’ll cut down anyone who stands in my way.

An unexpected guest turns up in Port Townsend for Thanksgiving dinner at the O’Connell Compound. Edward, the eldest brother, has cast aside his Roman collar and arranged for an extended stay in a hotel. In his youth, he sowed some impressive wild oats. Joining the priesthood meant turning his back not only on his checkered past but also his worldly family.

Edward becomes a regular at Café Lisette, owned by the alluring and lissome Lisette Manegold. Based on scant evidence, his brother-in-law believes Lisette is a man-eater and a former call girl. Though those labels are off the mark, she has in fact buried an identity that would shock any family, let alone one as wealthy and respectable as the O’Connells.

Edward rejoices in his own fresh start and is prepared to overlook any and all dark secrets. It is Lisette who can’t forgive herself and move on. This Christmas season, they hope to reimagine the holiday together. If only the ghosts of the past will let them.

My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6614670633″>5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Just like a lot of romances today, TB and Sylvan met online. She was doing some research on a novel she was writing and found TB who helped her out. They kept in touch and over time feelings started to develop even though they had never met in person. Women have been going missing from a local club and the latest is the daughter of a tech mogul. TB and his team have been hired to find her. Although she never stated anything, TB feels that Sylvan is hiding something and may be the kidnappers next target. Being a master at interrogating people he plans to get all the facts. Will being forced to come together may make or break their relationship? This was an action packed and steamy book. I enjoyed the plot and the characters were likeable. I haven’t read the first book but I never felt lost. With that being said this can be read as a standalone. I do plan on reading book one in the series.

3.5/5 Stars
This book is an engaging tale of romance and adventure that keeps you turning pages. The characters are richly developed, and the plot is compelling, making it hard to put down. However, the language and certain triggers caught me off guard at times, which may not be for everyone. Despite these moments, the book’s emotional depth and thrilling storyline make it a solid read. A great pick for those who enjoy a mix of excitement and heartfelt moments.

Truly loved this!
Loved how we knew the characters from book 1 so it was easy to follow, but still no cliff hangers. However, stuff that you know still needs to be tied up.
I love getting to know these tribe men & the origins of them but also their love interests 😊
Hoping she does a book for each of the tribe men but also gets deeper into the topics.
There are a few triggers that should be understood before reading also

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been eagerly awaiting this book as I loved the first in the series! I was so excited to pick it up and dive right in as soon as I got home. In this one, we get to learn about Sylvan and TB. It turns out that they are my new favorite people! I still love the entire Deadman’s Tribe team and their witty banter, but the protectiveness that TB shows for Sylvan is lovely and refreshing. Both of their pasts are heartbreaking and may be what keeps them apart…but what if it brings them together? I will reveal zero spoilers in this review because this was an absolutely phenomenal read! As always, mind the trigger warnings to inform yourself. I appreciate the author’s thoughtfulness to include that. I also loved that this book was slightly longer side as I couldn’t get enough! I highly recommend giving this book a read if you enjoy a good romantic suspense book with some wonderful spicy scenes. I bet you’ll find yourself lost in their world almost as quickly as I was! Bring on the next book!

The Silent Forest (The House on the Hill Book 2) by David Kummer – Review by Julie Johnson

The Silent Forest (The House on the Hill, #2)The Silent Forest by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this follow up story to The Misery House, Allison has been missing for awhile and everyone is starting to give up. That is, except for Kaia. Questions we’ve had burning in our minds are finally getting answered but they also lead to more questions, more mysteries, more missing people, and a whole lot of deep dark buried secrets.

This one is a bit chilling right from the get go. It is slow in some areas in the beginning but quickly picks up and then you won’t be able to put it down until you’re done. This one will stick with you for a bit while you digest all that’s happened and wonder if there will be a continuation to this story!

From the description I knew I wanted to read Declan and Anne’s story. The author did a great job of pulling me into their world within just the first few pages. Declan is definitely a book boyfriend you won’t forget. And I instantly loved Anne’s character. Each of them definitely didn’t see the other coming and they go through the wringer but I love their story. The author does well with all the characters, I love when side characters pull me in just as much as the main ones. It’s got a nice pace and is well written. Five stars and highly recommended. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Bad Enough : The Deadman’s Tribe Book 2

As much as I loved the first book in this series I think this one is even better. The sparks between TB and Sylvin and Nemo’s antics made it an entertaining read.

I absolutely loved TB from the beginning even though I really shouldn’t have until much later. There was something about this giant man that drew me in, then throw is how he was way Sylvin and I was hooked.

Sylvin earned a special place too because of what she does and how amazing and creative she is.

This book had me laughing one minute, usually when Nemo was involved but also Sylvin and Kai made me laugh too. Then gasping or on the edge of my seat as everything went down. Each character from main to supporting is great and so well developed.

Each installment so far has their happy ending but I highly suggest you read Kai and Water’s story first. It will introduce you to the guys of Tribe.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Whiskey throttle is the final book in the Moto X Series. We finally get Parker’s story! Megan and Parker have been together for a few years now. Parker has tried changing his life for Megan and their daughter, Lindsey. But things haven’t been great between them and he just doesn’t see her and her needs. When Megan takes Lindsey to stay with her parents, Parker tumbles down to rock bottom. Ordered into AA after a drunken arrest, will he be able to accept the help of his new sponsor? Will he be able take responsibility for his actions and look toward the future? I enjoyed Parker’s story; his fall, his despair, his courage, and his eventual healing. The story flowed well for me and made this a quick read even with the heavy topic. I thought it portrayed how much you need a support system and a focus on mental health too. I think you’ll enjoy reading Parker’s story!

I highly recommend reading this series in order. So many story lines are mentioned in this book and I think it could confuse someone who hasn’t had the background of the first few books.

Bad Enough is book number two in The Deadman’s Tribe. In Bad Enough the main characters could not be anymore different than an author who writes paranormal romances, but wants to get into more heavier novels like BDSM, and a alpha, military, bad boy who participates in kidnappings, interrogations, and making people disappear. Sylvan and TB had great chemistry. It was a spicy, unfiltered, well written romantic suspense novel, with characters that were super interesting, and a storyline that I couldn’t get enough of.

This book is part of the A Counting Collection series of books. I loved the illustrations in this book. It is intended primarily for young children, just learning how to count. However, my children liked it as well, because of the illustrations and their love of sea turtles and the beach. I would highly recommend this for parents of young children, but truly feel that anybody of any age can enjoy it. My suggested ages would be birth thru first or second grade, for educational purposes, but I am sure that older elementary school children would enjoy it as well.
