My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Doctor Ashton Evans, has a past. She has worked quietly, with her head down for years as a scientist. She decides to apply to Shatter embrace a highly recommended sex club, that her best friend Derek just happens to be a part of. Her past haunts her as she has been trying to move forward. SE seems to her to be the best way to explore her once desires again. Ashton gets invited to a meet and greet for SE, shy and afraid she meets Graham who take her under her wing. As the cast of colorful characters meet her they fall in love with her, the group believes she has what it takes to join their club.
Since the interview process is the next step Zachary, (Derek’s brother) the Head of SE reaches out to her. They decided on a time and date but little did they know, they would end up meeting sooner than expected. Zachary happens to also be the CEO of the company Derek works for and is part of the presentation Ashton is leading. When the meeting is over they go to lunch together to talk business, but it becomes the spark to something that combusts.
This book is spicy, but not as spicy as I expected, it being about a sex club. The story is endearing and powerful to see Ashton come out of her shell and start enjoying her life once more. I have Managing Mischief the second book in the Shattered Embrace series, and I’m betting it’s 100x spicier. I can’t wait to dig into it.

Portrait of Deception (A Southwest Suspense Novel)Portrait of Deception by Kathryn Dodson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Margo’s father passed before she could even meet him, but that’s not the only ghost that follows her. His career and notoriety in the photography business haunts her too. Feeling as if she will never leave his shadow, She becomes very excited when she is invited to Italy to be in the running for the Butler prize. She meets a man who lives in another country who offers her a job to photograph him. He gives her the creeps, so she turns it down at first. However, her life is flipped upside down after a series of events, Margo gives it a second thought. Which turns out to be another thing that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
I highly recommend this book, wonderful world and character building. Margo was very relatable, by far my favorite character in the book. I was on my toes the entire time, it felt like the book went by so fast with all the twists, turns and *almost* betrayals.
