As Reapers Motorcycle Club president, Reese “Picnic” Hayes has given his entire life to the club. After losing his wife, he knew he’d never love another woman. And with two daughters to raise and a club to manage, that was just fine with him. These days, Reese keeps his relationships free and easy—he definitely doesn’t want to waste his time on a glorified cleaning lady like London Armstrong.

Too bad he’s completely obsessed with her.

Besides running her own business, London’s got her junkie cousin’s daughter to look after—a more reckless than average eighteen-year-old. Sure she’s attracted to the Reapers’ president, but she’s not stupid. Reese Hayes is a criminal and a thug. But when her young cousin gets caught up with a ruthless drug cartel, Reese might be the only man who can help her. Now London has to make the hardest decision of her life—how far will she go to save her family?

Review: Rock Courtship by

22847538Rock Courtship

Nalini Singh

Rock Kiss Series, Book 1.5
ebook, 125 pages

Published September 30th 2014 by TKA Distribution


New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh's new contemporary romance novella is pure hard rock and scorching heat...

What happens when the Gentleman of Rock decides to play dirty?

A drummer for the hottest rock band on the planet, David has a single, powerful weakness: Thea, the band's publicist and the woman who steals his breath away with her every move.

Only problem is, Thea doesn't date clients--or musicians. Emotionally scarred by a cheating ex, she's not about to risk her heart with a man who has groupies buzzing around him like flies. Even if his sexy smile ties her up in knots.

What she doesn't know is that David is a one-woman man...and he's madly in love with her. David's determined to prove he's worth the risk, and willing to court her, step by exquisite step. Thea's about to discover just how long and hard this handsome drummer can play.


review4.5 Stars




David is a man who mamma raised him right. He truly is the gentleman of rock.  He has manors, is polite and truly caring person. Just because he's sweet ladies doesn't mean he can't throw down when needed. Well build and a sharp dresser. This man really has it all, all but the woman he wants.

Thea is a powerful woman when it comes to world of entertainment media. She has worked hard to make a name for herself and company. A beautiful woman with strong family ties. Thea is a giving person and who people in ways that others would not lift a finger to help.  When it come to the men in Thea's life, a ripped heart in the past has put a while up for the present. Also placing a rule on herself that there is no dating of clients.I really enjoyed David and Thea's story. How do you get the attention of a girl that is all business?  You write her a memo that knocks her off balance.  I love the memos. It reminded me of old school love letters. Rock Courtship is a sweet tale of romancing the girl while living in the spotlight. If you have read Rock Addiction you will have gotten a few insights to both David and Thea!   Rock Courtship is just that, the Gentleman courting the girl he wants!!

Review: Storm by Carian Cole

23155346Storm

Ashes and Embers Series, Book 1

Carian Cole
ebook

Published 2014


The calm before the storm…I lived in the quiet stillness.
I felt the wind rustle, warning me, telling me to get out of its path.

But I didn’t.
I never stood a chance.

A series of weather and road mishaps leaves me trapped in the middle of a blizzard with a complete stranger. In the back of a pickup truck. For forty-eight freakin’ hours.
A stranger with long hair, tattoos, and rippling with muscle.
A stranger with an insanely sexy voice and a wicked smile that turned my insides to jelly.  A stranger who held me in his arms, calmed me, and then set a fire in me that I couldn’t put out.
Storm lives up to his name. Beautiful. Dangerously inviting. Tumultuous. Dark. A clash of hot and cold.
He’s used to getting everything he wants.
And now he wants me.
Some people chase storms for the beautiful thrill. What happens when the storm chases you?



review4.5 Stars




Storm is let me grab a hold of something and hang on tight because my heart just skipped a beat, oh my God I think Im drooling, somebody slap me, good looking. With hair that most women wish for, mussels that want your eyes to be plastered to and a body covered in tats.  Let's not forget the most intense eyes. I am a such sucker for man with long hair and tattoos. I fell in love with Storm from the moment he banged on the window. Commanding yet caring. Demanding yet giving. Beyond complex yet simple. Storm is more that what meets the eye. As I got to know Storm, I realize he is everything I would want my fantasy man to be.

 
Evelyn becomes completely conflicted by what she knows of life and love like a flip of a switch.  Having played the same tale on repeat for the past twelve, it's truly all she knows. When what started as a business trip quickly turns into Evelyn putting her car into a ditch and changing her life.  The dangerous looking, sexy stranger opens the little box of world to a new light in forty eight hours. A timid woman who got a taste of what letting go is like. A woman who makes herself find the strength to have what she wants. Things she never knew she could have. Things it now seems possible she can't live with out.

 
Storm, the first book of the Ashes and Embers series flippin ROCKS!  I pretty sure I was lost to this book by page ten. Intense characters that make you laugh, yell and love!  Great story line that is layered in romance and being romanced. My favorite quote from the book that really sums itself up.


"Evie, you gotta stop living in fear. You can't see the stars unless you go out in the dark. "


A great beginning for a wonderful new author!!

A complementary copy of this title was provided by the author/publisher for an honest review!

First in the new Silver Valley series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Reapers Motorcycle Club Novels 

Fourteen months. For fourteen months, Puck Redhouse sat in a cell and kept his mouth shut, protecting the Silver Bastards MC from their enemies. Then he was free and it was time for his reward—full membership in the club, along with a party to celebrate. That’s when he saw Becca Jones for the first time and set everything in motion. Before the night ended he’d violated his parole and stolen her away from everything she knew.

Five years. It was five years ago that Puck destroyed Becca and saved her all in one night. She’s been terrified of him ever since, but she’s even more terrified of the monsters he still protects her from... But Becca refuses to let fear control her. She’s living her life and moving forward, until she gets a phone call from the past she can't ignore. She has to go back, and there’s only one man she can trust to go with her—the ex-con biker who rescued her once before.

Puck will help her again, but this time it’ll be on his terms. No more lies, no more tears, and no more holding back what he really wants...

review

5 Stars

 The ladies at the blog all know that I love Gena Showalter.  Out of my personal library she has the biggest shelf and it's growing every bookstore trip.   Out of all of her books I had a special love for the first book of the Otherworld assassin series Last Kiss Goodnight.  Aliens, black ops, wounded warriors, and strong heroines; this series has it all.  While this book could be read as a stand alone I highly recommend that it be read in order; as characters are reoccurring and plot does carry through.


Corbin Blue is the whole package; and his boss knows it.  Blue is used to seduce for recon and is a man whore in his public life because of it.  He loves his job, both black ops and football and seems to be on top of the world; and than he meets a woman he can't get out of his head.  Evie is the only woman off limits as his bosses daughter and he would never do anything to put that relationship at risk until he starts spending time with her and she finds a way into his heart.


Evie knows Blues reputation and will not let herself become another one night stand.  Being put together to find her father and his friends after an explosion; Evie must un-retire from her black ops life and work with Blue.


Young adult, sci-fi, paranormal, etc: Gena Showalter can write it all and I have loved every book.  Black and Blue in particular is arresting from chapter one and is very hard to put down for anything.


All the opinions in this review are my own.  I bought this book for my personal collection.  The description and image come from Gena Showalter's website which can be found by clicking on the image.  Happy reading!

What's a Ghoul to Do by: Victoria Laurie

whats a ghoul to doWhat's a Ghoul to Do

Victoria Laurie

A Ghost Hunter Mystery
Mass Market Paperback, 281 pages

Published April 3rd 2007 by Signet



M.J., her partner Gilley, and their client, the wealthy, de-lish Dr. Steven Sable, are at his family's lodge, where his grandfather allegedly jumped to his death from the roof-although Sable says it was foul play. But the patriarch's isn't the only ghost around. The place is lousy with souls, all with something to get off their ghoulish chests. Now M.J. will have to to quell the clamor-and listen for a voice with the answers...

review

 

4 stars

Now that its fall I love to find a good paranormal mystery and I found it in Victoria Laurie's Ghost Hunter Mystery series.  M.J. Holliday is a psychic detective who talks to the dead to help the living.  Along with her fabulous partner Gilley (who is terrified of the supernatural) she uses he gift, some nifty tools, and some good old detective snooping to solve many problems.  Sometimes she rids a house of evil so it can be sold, gets spirits to move on, and solves murders.

Overall, I'm not a huge fan of ghosts but I love everything about a mystery; especially one that I can't solve halfway through the story.  This  book will take you through a gauntlet of emotion; for me it was a tie between laughter and sorrow for the dearly departed.  However, between the antics of Gilley and M.J's talking parrot (whom Gilley has taught some colorful phrases) and a sexy semi-English speaking doctor; this story does a wonderful job of lightening an otherwise dark tale.

This book does have some romantic underlays between characters however, it is a paranormal mystery first and foremost.  I bought this book for my own collection.  All of the opinions are my own.  The image and description can be found on Victoria Laurie's website which can be found by clicking on the image.  Happy Reading!

Yasmine Galenorn's Priestess Dreaming Blog Tour

Thanks for joining us for our stop on the PRIESTESS DREAMING blog tour!! Yasmine Galenorn "creates a world I never want to leave", according to Sherrilyn Kenyon... and this is the next adventure in that world. The amount of world building, character development, and GREAT STORYTELLING in the Otherworld series is why it's lasted so long, and why readers keep coming back.

PriestessDreamingBlogTourBanner3

PRIESTESS DREAMING is the 16th book in the series, and D'Artigo sister Camille's 6th book as the main point of view. In the series, the three sisters, Camille, Delilah, and Menolly, are each half fae, half "something else". Camille is a Moon witch, who is, with her sisters and their partners, on continuing adventures to protect her family and friends, both on earth and in Otherworld, from a host of evil.

PriestessDreaming520We're the D'Artigo sisters: savvy half-human, half-Fae operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. My sister Delilah is a two-faced werecat and a Death Maiden. Menolly is a vampire married to a gorgeous werepuma. And me? I'm a Moon witch married to three gorgeous husbands, and I'm about to journey through the veils to search for a long lost legend...


With the war in Otherworld raging, the Queen of Shadow and Night summons me to her court. Aeval orders me to embark on a hunt through the mists to find an ancient ally she once knew. I must seek out The Merlin and wake him from his long sleep. But Morgaine and Bran are along for the journey, and the pair pose a threat to both me and my quest. Now, surrounded by danger on all sides, I must pray they are allies rather than enemies, as we undertake a perilous search through the labyrinth of time...

I would definitely recommend reading the previous books in the series first.

So, if you haven't started the series, DEFINITELY pick up WITCHLING and get going!!! I promise, it won't take you as long as you may think to get caught up.

I collect teacups, teapots, Old Country Roses china (Royal Albert), antlers and skulls (of the non-human variety), daggers and crystals. And of course, my bookshelves are overflowing with books.
