A place where the wealthy rub shoulders and chase hedonistic pleasures.

Author, Elliott Rose has a new fan in me. Where do I sign up to be taken and sheltered by three men! So yummy and delicious moments. I loved them all and yet could not get enough. </p><p>Don't ask me to choose a favorite among the three men as I won't and can't. I loved them all for different reasons. When it comes to Thorne, there is only one word to describe him...Daddy! Ky as Fox calls him is her naughty guy. Finally, there is Raven, he is the bad guy that you know you love to claim as your book boyfriend. </p><p>Fox is one feisty and strong FMC. I loved her so much. She deserved all three guys. I did not want this book to end as I could have stayed with them all forever. Those readers who love their romances dark and extra spicy, this book is for you!</p>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-52446961151139195172024-03-16T17:09:00.002-06:002024-03-16T17:09:07.191-06:00Book Review: Kiss Me If You Can<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinde7kfvQtVqVZPSX73Hv9sBvMPVkM2Ce_5cfsuQJFbUxBOXuQ4KoLF7DO51SvLjEJ24XsxQfpUv7alqf1dFXgfR-GNm5CoTdKcLC60L8eUqYiKUAj9dNcz3l1M689Oh65lBfjAlgSIfx2ggsp9xRQehFV2zhBbnHstnU4Hu1JJH0ecOz9TB6RTGzFkrHi/s2250/205430594.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2250" data-original-width="1410" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinde7kfvQtVqVZPSX73Hv9sBvMPVkM2Ce_5cfsuQJFbUxBOXuQ4KoLF7DO51SvLjEJ24XsxQfpUv7alqf1dFXgfR-GNm5CoTdKcLC60L8eUqYiKUAj9dNcz3l1M689Oh65lBfjAlgSIfx2ggsp9xRQehFV2zhBbnHstnU4Hu1JJH0ecOz9TB6RTGzFkrHi/s320/205430594.jpg" width="201" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">There are three things you need to know about Nellie Belanger:</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">She hates apologizing.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">She loves exploring her sensuality.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">She absolutely does not want a serious relationship with anyone… extra emphasis on “one.”</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Which is why no one can ever find out about that one sizzling afternoon she spent in JP Marchand—aka her best friend’s brother’s—bedroom three years ago.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">After a chance encounter with her former professor, the semi-reserved and gorgeously attractive Ben, becomes unexpectedly steamy, Nellie thinks she’s in for the summer of a lifetime.

It is part of the If You Can series. These spicy new adult romance novels follow Nellie Belanger, an unapologetically sensual college student, on her journey from bed to bed and features multiple love interests/spicy partners with no love triangles or cheating.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">While recommended for maximum enjoyment, the prequel novella The Boy Next Door does not need to be read to enjoy this first book in the series.</span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">My Review</span></b></span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Proxima Nova, Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">After reading the prequel, I could not wait to read this book. Right away the hilarious lines that Nellie was saying had me laughing. I had to stop reading every time I came across one to read them out loud to my husband. </span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">It was great to see Anne-Marie again. She always keeps things entertaining. Although, there was a new friend in the mix of Syd. She and Nellie met while in college together. She is a bit more let loose than Anne-Marie. Yet, they balanced each other out when it came to Nellie.</span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">Things between Nellie and Ben were steamy, but I could not fully embrace them as I was waiting for Nellie and JP. They did not disappoint. I need more of them and to see Anne-Marie's story as well. </span></p>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-7309863182832380952024-03-15T10:26:00.000-06:002024-03-15T10:26:33.448-06:00Book Review: Rebel<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrBv3dT4s7PXSvf_RHeyAScMXyV8ZTVHdvtzMjUbTl1esaStmuoLR1XFYgs4EAHZSnr3MvZwQkznPYuVmJV5I0dIyLzOM-9fevnJMfD7kHzePDQ9iVGnAw8z0j8wZeNpxkS_iT9EapL1tsMDe32U7aqxMZLZ37qTw9WdwFhOGGOF42jGVO9A8TvNLV3jV_/s425/81yNyHmOzoL._SY425_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="283" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrBv3dT4s7PXSvf_RHeyAScMXyV8ZTVHdvtzMjUbTl1esaStmuoLR1XFYgs4EAHZSnr3MvZwQkznPYuVmJV5I0dIyLzOM-9fevnJMfD7kHzePDQ9iVGnAw8z0j8wZeNpxkS_iT9EapL1tsMDe32U7aqxMZLZ37qTw9WdwFhOGGOF42jGVO9A8TvNLV3jV_/s320/81yNyHmOzoL._SY425_.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>What to expect -</b> </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">🎸 Enemies to lovers </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">🎸 Revenge </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">🎸 Lots of spiceeee </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">🎸 Secret, in band romance </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>Blurb:</b> </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Beck Danvers stormed off stage last night during the Dead Ringers’ sold-out world tour, sending the world of rock and roll into chaos as everyone scrambles to figure out what happened.</div><div style="background-color: white;"><p style="color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; margin: 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The Dead Ringers are no stranger to tragedy, and it seems it has once again struck this iconic band in their prime.</p><p style="color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; margin-bottom: 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Can they recover?</p><p style="color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; margin-bottom: 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Will Beck Danvers ever return?</p><p style="color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; margin-bottom: 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Will we ever discover the secrets hidden behind the curtain of this cursed band?</p><p style="color: #202124; font-family: docs-Roboto; font-size: 14.6667px; margin-bottom: 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">These are the questions on everyone’s mind, and we might have the answers.

I was able to jump right into this book. It exceeded my expectations. I was expecting a hot and heavy why choose. Which don't get me wrong, as there was a lot of spice scenes, but I was not prepared for the emotional aspect.
I fell hard for each guy as I got to know them and their "secrets". Although, I was the most emotionally attached to Kolton. All I wanted to do was hug him. Chase and Trav were right there behind him. The moments of them all together with Beck were great but I treasured the separate ones even more. Beck and her guys are perfect harmony.

A "real" man who knows how to treat Sam and not just like a princess but with all of his heart. Ooh and the pierced d!ck was a nice addition. It took me by surprise. </p><p>Every time that these two got together, the scenes got steamier and steamier. Also, you could see the love growing between them get stronger and stronger as well. Chris is great for Sam. She bloomed with him around and became a stronger woman for it. </p><p>I found this book to be a very fast read. I do want more. Looking forward to reading the next book. </p>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-84300832827519719442024-03-15T04:00:00.015-06:002024-03-15T04:00:00.140-06:00Book Spotlight: The Secrets of the Hidden Workforce<p> </p><table class="wsite-not-footer" id="blogTable" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8e8e8e; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; table-layout: fixed; width: 912px;"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><div class="blog-body" id="594890597445594333-blog" style="float: left; width: 628px;"><div id="wsite-content"><div class="blog-post" id="blog-post-140040205547283020" style="position: relative; zoom: 1;"><div class="blog-header" style="border: none; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; width: 628px;"><h2 class="blog-title" style="border: none; color: #484848; font-family: Lora, sans-serif; font-size: 1.7em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"></h2><p class="blog-comments" style="color: #515151; float: right; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 4px;"><span face="Raleway, sans-serif" style="color: #8e8e8e; font-size: 2px;"> </span></p></div><div class="blog-content" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;"><div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-thin wsite-image-border-black" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 2px !important; padding-right: 2px !important; padding-top: 10px; padding: 10px 2px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeIjrrUz1991ACI35stwhxZ23P2eduC2JiEz10RhUB9SnMLlQ/viewform" style="color: #5199a8; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank"><img alt="THE SECRETS OF THE HIDDEN WORKFORCE by Lisa Toth" src="https://www.ireadbooktours.com/uploads/5/0/0/5/5005989/screenshot-2023-12-12-at-4-32-34-pm_orig.png" style="border: 1px solid rgb(208, 208, 208); margin-left: -2px; margin-right: -2px; max-width: 100%; padding: 1px; width: auto;" /></a></div></div><div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-thin wsite-image-border-black" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 2px !important; padding-right: 2px !important; padding-top: 10px; padding: 10px 2px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><div style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;"></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div><br /></div><div class="paragraph" style="color: #515151; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 1em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Book Details:</span></strong><br /><br /><u>Book Title</u>: <span style="color: #1f1f1f;"></span><span style="color: #1f1f1f;">The Secrets of the Hidden Workforce by Lisa Toth</span><br /><u>Category</u>: Adult Non-Fiction (18+), 142 pages<br /><u>Genre</u>: <span style="color: #1f1f1f;">Nonfiction Occupational</span><br /><u>Publisher</u>: <span style="color: #1f1f1f;">Yorkshire Publishing</span><br /><u>Release date:</u> March, 2024<br /><u>Content Rating</u>: PG. <span style="color: #1f1f1f;">Suitable for all adults 17+</span></div><div class="paragraph" style="color: #515151; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 1em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Book Description:</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #1f1f1f;">Radio show host, Lisa Toth shares how she created a staffing agency for the developmentally disabled population.

I really liked the dark vibes I got from this book. It had a psychological thriller aspect to it. The things that were happening to Candi had my attention. To be honest, I liked her but with the things happening to her, it made her more interesting. </span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">I was not sure where the story was going but I know that I was in for the ride along. When the reason was revealed, I was pleased. </span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">This was a fast read for me. Candy is an engaging character that I could cheer for. I liked this novella that I would actually be like it if this was expanded to a full length book, so that I could see Candi more in action. I would love to see her progression after the ending of this book. I will be checking out more books from this author. </span></p>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-69921972687437081722024-03-14T10:02:00.001-06:002024-03-14T10:02:57.914-06:00Book Review: Pretty Little Monster<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQDrJ6zSsyXm9Uf5sJksKZFuaOLG5Nbj34RYKVJM8dVVtjShC2OmZ4Mk30cUe0PnqrnKzpd2KA_C_TxbbEGzO2dE5fWZmjfNYSvQMuc5AOSO7TvrkOKDjfDOPMJO1OeJvXjla9mJ3wVgatdWfJI6guY0v2o3_bFVXC8YG8kUu-ypK0d7iEsoUvf1pJH3sU/s425/719abrtomEL._SY425_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="275" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQDrJ6zSsyXm9Uf5sJksKZFuaOLG5Nbj34RYKVJM8dVVtjShC2OmZ4Mk30cUe0PnqrnKzpd2KA_C_TxbbEGzO2dE5fWZmjfNYSvQMuc5AOSO7TvrkOKDjfDOPMJO1OeJvXjla9mJ3wVgatdWfJI6guY0v2o3_bFVXC8YG8kUu-ypK0d7iEsoUvf1pJH3sU/s320/719abrtomEL._SY425_.jpg" width="207" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700;">I thought I’d feel broken after what happened.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><span class="a-text-italic" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic !important;">Turns out killing the man who hurt me changed that.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">When I’m back at school for my last few weeks of college, I find normalcy for the first time in months.

Blair is a different person from book one. She has grown into a confident woman. Oliver is still his cheeky self and Rook had a posh persona. These two men could not be more different but yet they are the ying and yang to Blair. </p><p>It was nice to see these three outside of school. They were able to be themselves. While I liked Blair and Oliver together. The moments where it was just Blair and Rook were my favorite. If anything, I fell for Rook even more with this book. </p><p>In this book, I also got to see Blair's darker side come out. She has been on quite the journey. I did not want this trilogy to end but it is a fitting ending. </p>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-17214972176251493732024-03-12T20:07:00.001-06:002024-03-12T20:07:09.590-06:00Book Review: Of Blood and Onyx<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOvag8eQBYt-XnGFl-CRYTtZv314V0nFyAKSOLTfwBD8MkgKNlW7_k48Dp4zmtQB5y5VprSc1yZ_0OSBpvdgnZ08XU2rlP50W-hLudMQweoA0bdQUK4AdVVJf2GxSXSlsp2gq25IsCDQ6Y7OOyb7tgvAq2A9iMqtjtqtCRNKaEizgoHL7kVbWtPUAzbvKp/s425/81Dh4REu0iL._SY425_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="283" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOvag8eQBYt-XnGFl-CRYTtZv314V0nFyAKSOLTfwBD8MkgKNlW7_k48Dp4zmtQB5y5VprSc1yZ_0OSBpvdgnZ08XU2rlP50W-hLudMQweoA0bdQUK4AdVVJf2GxSXSlsp2gq25IsCDQ6Y7OOyb7tgvAq2A9iMqtjtqtCRNKaEizgoHL7kVbWtPUAzbvKp/s320/81Dh4REu0iL._SY425_.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><p><span class="a-text-bold" face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700;">The Answers are in the Flames…</span><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The once majestic kingdom of Balam now lies in ruins, and Queen Blaise grapples with the haunting legacy of her predecessor, the late Queen Rowena. Before Blaise can acclimate to her new role, her kingdom falls prey to invasion, and she manages to narrowly evade the encroaching threat.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Blaise’s akrani seems more elusive than ever. If she could rule the chaos within her, she could ensure the safety of her loved ones. However, the imposing presence of an unknown high god casts a shadow over the realms, revealing a truth that shatters Blaise's understanding of life itself.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Riddled with exhaustion and besieged by the relentless barrier of defeat, Blaise stands at the precipice of her destiny. Should she persist in the futile struggle for dominance, or embrace the chaotic nature of her akrani?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Meanwhile, Captain Kaiden embarks on his own quest for identity and purpose, becoming entwined in the pandemonium of Balam. The news of Blaise’s assassination attempt derails his original plan, and he’s ordered to return to Balam as Elatora’s emissary.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />As Kaiden unravels the truths during his assignment, he discovers that his journey extends beyond mere lineage. It's a larger destiny interwoven with the survival of the realms and the enigmatic power that Blaise wields.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />With an uncertain future looming, Kaiden is compelled to face his most formidable fear. He must embrace his newfound purpose, and navigate the currents of chaos threatening to engulf him and Blaise.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Kaiden and Blaise stand at fate's crossroads: forge an alliance to protect all they cherish, or risk succumbing to unyielding forces eager to end their existence, and destroy the very fabric of the realms.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span><span class="a-text-bold" face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700;">Love can make monsters of us all…</span><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span><span class="a-text-italic" face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic;">In this tale of love that can transform even the noblest into monsters, "Of Blood and Onyx" unfolds as a spicy fantasy romance by Alyssa Green.

It was great to see Blaise and Kaiden again. They have grown stronger as a couple, and it shows. Yet, my new favorite couple are Mathias and Nira. The witty banter these two had with each other had me very entertained. </p><p>I would say that Nira is equally Mathias's equal in combat and wits. They were a very nice addition to this story. Although, I still "ship" Blaise and Kaiden. </p><p>This story is equal parts about the characters as it is about the mission. Blaise has a lot to deal with in this book. There are tough sacrifices that are made along the way. One being with the ending. Looking forward to book three. </p><div><br /></div>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-14257175205201025962024-03-12T14:38:00.003-06:002024-03-12T14:38:43.880-06:00Book Review: Captor<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimw2wakStmJ-dBN4ETEyEVVqvFOuQTyQn_et_5NFTYteJ4zj2dVMxGaM9_XeQYqvYBU2ex-vVYVRPUia_f2UlaxpvO9MOyQ9h3qb91Ig5LVItaqm286Kwt06MPtfyGvTVWw9LUcLtqnfpCF0NKz1cuHsJIlo76JLog_watTmZECiNK-SNTds-TbRw-fOmg/s500/207535931.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="352" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimw2wakStmJ-dBN4ETEyEVVqvFOuQTyQn_et_5NFTYteJ4zj2dVMxGaM9_XeQYqvYBU2ex-vVYVRPUia_f2UlaxpvO9MOyQ9h3qb91Ig5LVItaqm286Kwt06MPtfyGvTVWw9LUcLtqnfpCF0NKz1cuHsJIlo76JLog_watTmZECiNK-SNTds-TbRw-fOmg/s320/207535931.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><span class="a-text-bold" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700 !important;"><u style="box-sizing: border-box;">Brynne:</u></span><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I’m in debt up to my eyeballs.

Did I also mention that he is Italian and has a stalkerish side to him. After reading this book, I feel the need to find myself "lost" in the woods with a tall, dark stranger to keep me company. </p><p>I love a fierce woman and Brynne fits this description. Yet at the same time even fierce women had to kneel to a Daddy. Slate commands this. Him feeding Brynne while she sits on his lap and calls her "bunny"! Or when he feasts on Brynne. There are so many HOT scenes between these two. </p><p>This series is getting darker and darker and spicer and spicer and I am not leaving. I am here for all of it. The series name is perfect as these books match my dark soul and I have become corrupted by K.M!</p>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-84058889158173244202024-03-12T05:00:00.001-06:002024-03-12T05:00:00.135-06:00Book Review: Hills of Shivers and Shadows<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF0xUILSokmBqgXHRKBg6_DYTt7MbQId19tLMHHyxkhaDRh3K4kcwmDRutZcPBjKaEz9q46n2X1qsoOhQln36WTQXb6s3xcQ8hc-eNmjdIhV2otg5YM701R_2xNr6gL_PVM2VJr1CfRTOF0yhRa2lKbDADFG-CEc9QNK2gRTrQ-yQy-dj6Adbm1HwW_Wb5/s2500/205465507.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2500" data-original-width="1667" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF0xUILSokmBqgXHRKBg6_DYTt7MbQId19tLMHHyxkhaDRh3K4kcwmDRutZcPBjKaEz9q46n2X1qsoOhQln36WTQXb6s3xcQ8hc-eNmjdIhV2otg5YM701R_2xNr6gL_PVM2VJr1CfRTOF0yhRa2lKbDADFG-CEc9QNK2gRTrQ-yQy-dj6Adbm1HwW_Wb5/s320/205465507.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Blurb →</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Abducted and taken to a remote cabin in Alaska, Frankie finds herself at the mercy of four feral men, each with his own dark secrets and twisted desires.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">With nowhere to run, she must rely on her wits to survive the harsh winter, trapped with them.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">As she delves into their mysterious pasts, she uncovers an insidious evil that feeds on loyalty and uses love as a weapon.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Nothing is as it seems.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">In this desolate world where the monsters are as beautiful as they are cruel, trust is elusive.

It is one thing to try to survive in the bitter, cold wilderness but it is another when the wild has men like Denver, Kody, Leo, and Wolf. Frankie is the prey, and the guys are the hunters. </p><p>I was first drawn to Leo, despite him being the meanest towards Frankie in the beginning. I saw him as a challenge, and I could not wait to see Frankie break down Leo's guard. Let me say that it was entertaining and worth it. </p><p>Regarding, Kody and Wolf, they both won me over as well once I got to know them better and learned their stories of who they are. Kody with his long hair and Wolf as a protector. Finally, there is Denver, who I was guarded against trying to figure him out. </p><p>The ending of this book! I can't wait for book two. Pam took me on quite the emotional rollercoaster journey. This book is a tome but worth the read. </p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;

But can he convince her that fairy tales and Neverland exist, and that happily ever afters can come true?</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-size: 14px;">Peter Michaels, Hollywood stuntman and sword fight choreographer, is harboring a secret—he’s the real Peter Pan, the boy who did in fact grew up. Far from Neverland and forced to hide his secret, he distances himself from others for fear of being rejected for who he truly is. That is, until he meets Vivien Kelly.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-size: 14px;">Vivien Kelly, A-list Hollywood royalty, is determined to branch out into directing, but her steampunk version of Peter Pan is doomed. If bratty kids and demanding studio executives weren’t bad enough, Peter’s generous nature and easygoing attitude are distracting her.</span></h1><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>My Review</b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">I really enjoyed this spicy retelling of Peter Pan. It definitely had the spice but also engaging characters as well as humor. Peter is cheeky. He had me laughing. Which I was happy to see him do so as the opening scene was heartbreaking. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Viv needed Peter in her life. She had kind of forgotten how to have fun. It was nice to see her open up with Peter. Although, whenever they were together, they could not keep their hands off each other. Viv's roommate, Damien can attest to this. Speaking of Damien, he and his boyfriend, Tony were a very nice addition to this story. They also had me laughing. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">If you love fairy tale stories that you grew up on but make it adult version with spice, humor, and engaging characters then you will want to pick up a copy of this book to read. </span></div></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-80591767382775916422024-03-06T07:47:00.001-07:002024-03-06T07:47:36.196-07:00Book Review: Broken Laces<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeJO6wKbmrV2lOQ3VntpOM5UejOa_UKonw6SYNYpofsNBh962mdmpPpdDZXnIuxVYMQbROdE9Wjw_lvwtIoEgnYSexBZr_wdTUq6AjOoqU0U-r_sRg7lMTiIW9w8816uQeTY8uZoDDDYLqjVCAubOcRD4fi16owS6wE9Qd-PmSRwEyEnOJ5_UK5qlTxm8Z/s425/8188Z7rcVzL._SY425_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="266" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeJO6wKbmrV2lOQ3VntpOM5UejOa_UKonw6SYNYpofsNBh962mdmpPpdDZXnIuxVYMQbROdE9Wjw_lvwtIoEgnYSexBZr_wdTUq6AjOoqU0U-r_sRg7lMTiIW9w8816uQeTY8uZoDDDYLqjVCAubOcRD4fi16owS6wE9Qd-PmSRwEyEnOJ5_UK5qlTxm8Z/s320/8188Z7rcVzL._SY425_.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 4px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"><span class="a-text-bold" style="box-sizing: border-box;">This team of misfits and bad boys is going to puck you in the best possible way.</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span><span class="a-text-bold" style="box-sizing: border-box;">I’m the captain…</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span><span class="a-text-bold" style="box-sizing: border-box;">And I’m in love with the owner’s daughter.</span></h4><p><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I played my entire career with the San Francisco Gold.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />But now I’ve been traded to our rivals, and I’m playing for Jean-Michel Dubois, owner of the Oakland Eagles, my new boss, and father to the woman I’m in love with.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />And he’s made it clear that anyone who so much as looks at Chrissy will find themselves out of the league.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The problem is that I end up moving in right next door to her.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />And the more time I spend with Chrissy, the harder it is to keep my distance.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Only…I can’t have her.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Because if I do, I’ll lose everything.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span><span class="a-text-bold" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700 !important;">Broken Laces is a forced proximity, forbidden love, secret relationship, Rapunzel-inspired romance.</span><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span><span class="a-text-bold" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700 !important;">*This title is book 1 in my new Eagles Hockey series and will stand alone (with no cliffhangers!)</span></p><p><span class="a-text-bold" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700 !important;"><br /></span></p><p><span class="a-text-bold" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700 !important;">My Review</span></p><p><span class="a-text-bold" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700 !important;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-weight: 400;">I laughed at Rome and Chrissy first meeting. Chrissy was literally "falling" for Rome. They can thank Joan of Arc for their meeting. You could feel the instant chemistry shared between these two. It just grew the more time they spent around each other.</span><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-weight: 400;">While Chrissy may have fallen into Rome's arms, he was he that fell first for her. His nickname for Chrissy was cheeky and funny of Kitten.

I could already tell that Sly had fallen first with Vinnie. Yet, it would be years later before he is able to admit it. A big reason is due to their family feud. They really are a Romeo and Juliet love story. </span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Proxima Nova, Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">The angsty tension between them was sizzling.

Then everything was destroyed with a fainting spell, a doctor’s visit, and a diagnosis that rocked me to my core. Now at seventeen, I am being shipped to a new country and school with no support from my father. I’m facing a tangled web of lies and truths that will test and threaten to break me, but I’ve never been the type to back down.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: ""; display: block; margin-top: 10px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: ""; display: block; margin-top: 10px;" />The Kings of Wayward Academy set their eyes on me, and the chess game begins.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: ""; display: block; margin-top: 10px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: ""; display: block; margin-top: 10px;" />We are the Kings of Wayward Academy, but this school is not like others for the filthy rich with pretentious attitudes. The most ruthless families in the world have attended Wayward for generations. The land is neutral ground, heavily guarded, and the laws upheld by an unseen organization that no one dares to take on.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: ""; display: block; margin-top: 10px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: ""; display: block; margin-top: 10px;" />But, boredom, for people like us, is a deadly disease. One that usually ends badly for anyone caught in our snare.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: ""; display: block; margin-top: 10px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: ""; display: block; margin-top: 10px;" />Then Princess arrives, Ren Davies, the new girl. Armed with her sharp tongue and striking looks, she has everyone taking a second look. I’ve never met anyone with a fearless streak like hers. It was inevitable that she would attract our attention. The game begins, and the bets are set. Which King will win?<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: ""; display: block; margin-top: 10px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: ""; display: block; margin-top: 10px;" />There are just some games that were never meant to be won.</span></p><p><span face=""Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #162127; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px;"><br /></span></p><p><span face=""Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">My Review</span></b></span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915;">Yes, yes, triple yes! Myles, Blake, Nash, Liam and Theo are all great. Although, this book currently really just features Blake, Myles and Nash. In regard to these three guys trying to win Ren's attention, I have to go with Myles first, and Blake and Nash are tied for second. </span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915;">Ren is my girl. She is not afraid of these guys and makes it known. The more she resists, the bigger the challenge these guys see her, especially Nash. The chemistry Ren shares with each guy is different. Ren and Myles are enemies to lovers with forced proximity. Ren and Blake are enemies to lovers as well. Ren and Nash are enemies to lovers and bully romance. </span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915;">I am so invested in them all so much that I will be jumping into book two right away as I need more. </span></p>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-53679145027395025142024-03-04T20:08:00.002-07:002024-03-04T20:08:33.923-07:00Book Review: Baby X<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirv_6MXP4ZqYNC_9ujc5JGtbqSTD9keZweTHryAn_O-kogkhSmfEjHmE_RfspixEdtEtrSVW-_sta3mukOkHyqLIPQhNy7ovEwWLqXT2lt8d9yvJFIs2cSVZgotBXM5aKrIfgMIVGLVjk4ejOlk20ged5EfNxj9cydEF79TSV3Orqo-1j2Qi8AEg449kr_/s1280/173476065.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="842" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirv_6MXP4ZqYNC_9ujc5JGtbqSTD9keZweTHryAn_O-kogkhSmfEjHmE_RfspixEdtEtrSVW-_sta3mukOkHyqLIPQhNy7ovEwWLqXT2lt8d9yvJFIs2cSVZgotBXM5aKrIfgMIVGLVjk4ejOlk20ged5EfNxj9cydEF79TSV3Orqo-1j2Qi8AEg449kr_/s320/173476065.jpg" width="211" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">When any biological matter can be used to create life, stolen celebrity DNA sells to the highest bidder–or the craziest stalker–in this propulsive thriller.</span></p><p><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">With a vivid imagining of the future, Gattaca meets The Ones in Kira Peikoff’s Baby X .</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In the near-future United States, where advanced technology can create egg or sperm from any person’s cells, celebrities face the alarming potential of meeting biological children they never conceived. Famous singer Trace Thorne is tired of being targeted by the Vault, a black market site devoted to stealing DNA. Sick of paying ransom money for his own cell matter, he hires bio-security guard Ember Ryan to ensure his biological safety. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Ember will do anything she can to protect her clients. She knows all the Vault’s tricks–discarded tissues, used straws, lipstick tubes–and has prevented countless DNA thefts. Working for Thorne, her focus becomes split when she begins to fall for him, but she knows she hasn’t let anything slip–love or not, his DNA is safe. But then she and Thorne are confronted by a pregnant woman, Quinn, who claims that Thorne is the father of her baby, and all bets are off. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Brilliantly plotted and terrifyingly prescient, Baby X is an unpredictable and relentless speculative thriller perfect for fans of Blake Crouch.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><b>My Review</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Proxima Nova, Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">Another really good read from author, Kira Peikoff. The concept of this book is one that could easily be reality. What with the presence of Artificial Intelligence in today's world, the protection of DNA is important. I could see this book being turned into a movie. </span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">When I first met Ember, I kind of thought she was "cold" because of her job as an enforcer. Which I understood as she really took her job serious. Thorne is very lucky to have someone as dedicated as her to protect his DNA. Yet, once I got to know Ember better, I realized that there was more to her and did warm up to her. </span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Proxima Nova, Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Proxima Nova, Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">Instantly, I felt for Quinn and was rooting for her. She is someone that readers will gravitate towards in this story. One that does have a few twists in it. Making it a fast read. </span></p>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-59192612683588803512024-03-03T16:32:00.001-07:002024-03-03T16:32:55.533-07:00Book Review: Sky of Thorns<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVdW9ogN-ews0I9wTvqjJg2Cd2Tj9cGxyUlCrNpKpPRGOqow1v6z1Ez5CldfSAALHd1IAS1s4J4H_javGolGhdWOmGD4mYrQ4qlK19nGkDobL2dBy30cV-yH3H4zVMlZdnAiITt7NSq-WZ4RG34JBcZCj-aUhzkyjcri-99226uUenteF-qG63NsT2qgEr/s960/105736301.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="622" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVdW9ogN-ews0I9wTvqjJg2Cd2Tj9cGxyUlCrNpKpPRGOqow1v6z1Ez5CldfSAALHd1IAS1s4J4H_javGolGhdWOmGD4mYrQ4qlK19nGkDobL2dBy30cV-yH3H4zVMlZdnAiITt7NSq-WZ4RG34JBcZCj-aUhzkyjcri-99226uUenteF-qG63NsT2qgEr/s320/105736301.jpg" width="207" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #162127; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.1px;">The people of Kallistar believed the land was in peace… but darkness stirs in the North…</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #162127; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">On the eve of the autumn equinox, unicorn shifter Sybil Vandeleur is kidnapped and stolen away to the Kingdom of Shadowvale, charged with treason against the crown.

Tasked by his father to capture the leader of a rebel group, he corners the woman planning to infiltrate the palace and take down the kingdom from the inside. But as soon as he lays eyes on her, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. She incites his anger, fills him with longing, and makes him question everything he believes in. Her very presence tempts him to betrayal. Chained in a dungeon, at the mercy of an evil queen, Sybil’s only hope for salvation lies with the prince who was raised to loathe her, just for being a shifter.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #162127; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">In a world strained from rebellion and rife with injustice, two adversaries fight to overcome their prejudices and face the true enemy before them.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #162127; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">From author Fleur DeVillainy, comes a captivating, magical book that blends romance and adventure into a tantalizing read.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #162127; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b><span style="color: #351c75;">My Review</span></b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="color: #162127; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px;">Since I was a little girl, I have been and am still into unicorns. Therefore, when I read the premise of this book and saw the words "unicorn shifter", I was very intrigued. I was instantly drawn to Sybil. She had a fierceness about her that only grew as the story progressed. </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="color: #162127; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px;">Aramis is relatable and someone that I warmed up to fairly quickly. He was a bit of a complex character due to his title and trying to do with is morally right. I thought that he and Sybil interacted well together. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="color: #162127; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px;">I liked Nero. He was a nice addition to the story and brought some humor. He might have stole some of the limelight from Sybil and Aramis. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="color: #162127; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px;">If you are looking for your next romantasy book than you should pick up a copy of this one or better yet, grab the audiobook version. The narrators, Jacci Prior and Anthony Palmini are great. They really brought this story to life with their voice character portrayals. </span></p><div><br /></div>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-7832077449348690752024-03-03T13:58:00.001-07:002024-03-03T13:58:03.522-07:00Book Review: September Doves<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Y54HRL8wignZIf433mUjekemu0pAIg6OB1VB0YjoOzLgnpA-tWFKymR7ownOzts7GxMXOrLoQjy0BodnVxR1-m3Id2EndZ8V28UOpfbeF-cYaJSBGoOJ8V3hvpXAOB-Ybq98ac6wsI0DFcQQRVyrdTOPY8UaiG6LIC-515XWe3jamjNtCAtSHifcr1ns/s500/97731943.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="333" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Y54HRL8wignZIf433mUjekemu0pAIg6OB1VB0YjoOzLgnpA-tWFKymR7ownOzts7GxMXOrLoQjy0BodnVxR1-m3Id2EndZ8V28UOpfbeF-cYaJSBGoOJ8V3hvpXAOB-Ybq98ac6wsI0DFcQQRVyrdTOPY8UaiG6LIC-515XWe3jamjNtCAtSHifcr1ns/s320/97731943.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Rylee Adder is a struggling college student desperate to reconnect with the only family she has left.

I can tell you that it is worth every minute of this book. In fact, once I started reading, I literally was captivated by the characters that I could not or would not stop if I wanted too. I read this book in one day. </span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">I love a strong, independent woman and Rylee is that woman. She was so fierce that when she first met Colton that he was a little afraid and a lot impressed. This earned her the nickname "Tiger". As far as Colton and Rylee are concerned, their love started out as enemies to lovers. I loved that they did not share an instalove as it would not have been believable. It allowed me to get to know them both better so that when Colton made his move in the bar...even I was shook and found myself fanning myself to cool off. </span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">Talk about an explosive ending. As if I was not already hooked by this book, now I am really looking forward to jumping into book two. </span></p>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-53006369717705839582024-03-03T10:40:00.002-07:002024-03-03T10:40:30.899-07:00Book Review: Unworthy<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ2KpcqAaHr7njOvldmdi3A7LmzEKtLZXDZkuvFG8PhNEzY_Vx8LamYrwCVSQGKMRZ6imdojfmwQFoSOJ4GNkZrhWGZjmZxylrx9Z11kfWBtu1ycPShZMM9I0ezjL51siwtBep4lz-IXNGR8sMxawHzDFu9rDWvPVETmhmPfSxSL1mbqF1SAm_KTgl8Rqa/s425/81f1g2gJEaL._SY425_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="283" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ2KpcqAaHr7njOvldmdi3A7LmzEKtLZXDZkuvFG8PhNEzY_Vx8LamYrwCVSQGKMRZ6imdojfmwQFoSOJ4GNkZrhWGZjmZxylrx9Z11kfWBtu1ycPShZMM9I0ezjL51siwtBep4lz-IXNGR8sMxawHzDFu9rDWvPVETmhmPfSxSL1mbqF1SAm_KTgl8Rqa/s320/81f1g2gJEaL._SY425_.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px;">She shouldn’t want him – he’s her dead boyfriend’s dad.</span></p><p><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />But with every day they spend together her attraction to him only grows.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />With no other options in sight, she reaches out to a friend she met online, hoping he can help take her mind off Asher.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />She isn’t prepared for what he offers. </span><span class="a-text-italic" face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic;">A single night.

After reading Lethal Vows, I could not wait to read this book. Just like the other book, I devoured this one. </p><p>It was great to see how much Honey affected Dawson. He sure had his world shook upside down by her. Even their first physical encounter was a memorable one. One that had Dawson doing "something" to memorialize the moment. </p><p>I absolutely loved the chemistry between Honey and Dawson. It got hotter and hotter with each close encounter. Their first time together! </p><p>T.L. and Kia are slaying it together. I vow to keep reading their collaboration books as long as they keep writing them. </p>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-77100461084702753382024-03-02T18:42:00.003-07:002024-03-02T18:42:35.353-07:00Book Review: Bunny Hunting<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMr6y1fdzLLyjfZj9D1FNWcWn5dsztNzQkh89wOMY763y8JOHBn2d8sJa5cKW8FFZP8RNs2brQHbppIDrTulcQQfHR6H5zCuON7hQTQYhnsfKxeD5q1jc6zhtwK3Bd2xF0Vt0Ag770FcIyOLVdPIVrY2n9nFZLhQMRLvtcFiGhA7KXBj0cQwDAdBGvs7r-/s2560/203467056.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMr6y1fdzLLyjfZj9D1FNWcWn5dsztNzQkh89wOMY763y8JOHBn2d8sJa5cKW8FFZP8RNs2brQHbppIDrTulcQQfHR6H5zCuON7hQTQYhnsfKxeD5q1jc6zhtwK3Bd2xF0Vt0Ag770FcIyOLVdPIVrY2n9nFZLhQMRLvtcFiGhA7KXBj0cQwDAdBGvs7r-/s320/203467056.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><span class="a-text-italic" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic !important;">Poor little bunny, caught in a trap...</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><u style="box-sizing: border-box;">Monroe Nyx Bevins</u></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Content with her life writing romance books, Moe never really reaches outside her comforts. She has some darker interests that she tries to rope the men into town into partaking in, but they think blood doesn’t become a woman. Too bad Moe doesn’t shy away from a bit of red. When her past turns up before a snowstorm, she has to face the consequences of using an old fling as her inspiration for morally grey men.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><u style="box-sizing: border-box;">Ezekiel Ryder</u></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Doing tech work for a few companies in the city keeps his mind busy, but not his body.

A fleeting escape, a momentary itch to scratch before walking away with a secret smile in the morning. Now, I find myself entangled in Viper's world, thanks to shady dealings at work that extend their reach to him and his club. Going against my oath, I reveal what I know to protect his son from paying the price, only to discover there's more to this than meets the eye. Now a potential target for the local mafia boss, Viper refuses to let me face the danger alone. Juggling a job that just got a lot more dangerous, while trying to keep him at arms length is next to impossible. And I can feel myself weakening, because the man is far too hard to resist.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">VIPER</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I want my son by my side, and I'll move mountains to make it happen. Little did I know that it would resurrect her presence in my life. She's the woman I've been looking for since our passionate night, and I won't let her slip away again. No matter the hurdles, I'm determined to convince her to give us a chance. When she brings intel that entangles her in our war against the local mafia boss, I realize I'll never let her go. As her connection to the club becomes exposed, I'm poised to reveal why they call me Viper—I'm a dangerous force ready to strike to protect what's mine, including her, whether she's prepared or not.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">*For best enjoyment it is recommended that you read the books in this series in order for best enjoyment as there is an overarching storyline that continues through each book. Each book is a different couple and all have a HEA.</span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">My Review</span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Proxima Nova, Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">I have said it before, and I will say it again. I love this series. At this point everyone is like family. It is always great to catch up with everyone and meet the new women. Eden definitely fits in. She is strong and feisty. A great new addition to The Coven women. </span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">Except for the first scene between Viper and Eden, it is not until almost halfway into the book that they share a physical scene again. That is not to mean that the chemistry between them is not still hot. In fact, the scenes are so worth the wait and only get hotter. </span></p><p><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Proxima Nova, Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;">The other aspect of this book is the threat that the Devils are facing with the Russians. They show just how strong their bond and will do anything to protect their own. </span></p>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-45435282829165972192024-03-02T07:48:00.001-07:002024-03-02T07:48:06.274-07:00Book Review: My Favorite Mistake<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeibLZG_3qM47vG2GTBPOn7Z02P1LbRl7sDHpxChswjy4i1DvDUpuwEaEpcRQb1KMh96yV6efapZyvl_EhTCmTp8z0Tga7BeOpDuD5BIT-2AkaqAzN5qo4nRfdsFCZGGcAd6P2cRKpZZfdR_b8JMJlSIBvxhciwEcas_MQsMCWUEaAOvdPrsOatoVkR4Ns/s445/41gX+syQFTL._SY445_SX342_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="445" data-original-width="296" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeibLZG_3qM47vG2GTBPOn7Z02P1LbRl7sDHpxChswjy4i1DvDUpuwEaEpcRQb1KMh96yV6efapZyvl_EhTCmTp8z0Tga7BeOpDuD5BIT-2AkaqAzN5qo4nRfdsFCZGGcAd6P2cRKpZZfdR_b8JMJlSIBvxhciwEcas_MQsMCWUEaAOvdPrsOatoVkR4Ns/s320/41gX+syQFTL._SY445_SX342_.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><span class="a-text-bold a-text-italic" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic !important; font-weight: 700 !important;">Fake dating her client’s gorgeous son was a mistake—enjoying his touch will be her ruin.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Bad boy Ian Maguire is a lawyer with an image problem. But he doesn’t care if the media is obsessed with him or deemed him the most wanted bachelor. He’s also not interested in relationships, until he meets his dad’s political strategist. With her cool confidence, dark features, and quiet beauty, she is tempting enough to get him to pretend to settle down. And he can promise they will both enjoy it.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Simone Jax is trained in managing a crisis, and she has the perfect plan for Ian’s playboy status. He just needs to agree to only be seen with one woman until his father’s gubernatorial election is over, even if it’s fake. But when the press captures a picture of them kissing and blasts it everywhere, she has no choice but to play the part of girlfriend.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Just when their fake relationship starts to feel genuine, Simone discovers she’s pregnant.

Their first kiss together had sparks flying. Ian won me over instantly with his warm persona and kindness towards Simone. He is the type of guy you want, who is happy to stay in eating cheesecake, snuggling and watching Pretty Woman. </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">While the intimate scenes are hot, it was just them being together that I loved even more.

She can’t imagine why she and her little sister, Patsy, were torn from their mother only to be subjected to the cruel whims of the house matron, Mrs. Morris. When their mother fails to rescue them week after week—and Mrs. Morris drops hints that their mother may be a “fallen woman”—Nora begins to doubt they will ever see her again.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #162127; content: ""; display: block; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; margin-top: 10px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #162127; content: ""; display: block; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; margin-top: 10px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #162127; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px;">Nine years prior, at seventeen, Gertie Gufftason runs off with Lorenzo, the barker for the traveling carnival passing through her small coal-mining town in Southern Iowa. Thinking she is embarking on a fantastic adventure, Gertie is bitterly disappointed by the life that follows and is thrown into despair when the State removes their two daughters.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #162127; content: ""; display: block; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; margin-top: 10px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #162127; content: ""; display: block; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; margin-top: 10px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #162127; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px;">Gertie eventually tracks down her girls at the Park Ridge, but, expecting a warm welcome, she is shocked by Nora’s cool reception. Nora reluctantly returns home with Gertie and Patsy, determined to live a more perfect life than her mother. It is only when she discovers a secret Gertie has kept hidden all these years that Nora begins to fully understand—and forgive—her mother’s tragic choices.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #162127; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.1px;"><b><span style="color: #073763;">My Review</span></b></span></p><p>I have been a fan of Michelle's since the beginning. So, I am familiar with her writing and know she can write. However, can I say that I was blown away by this book. I literally could not stop reading it and stayed up through the night and early morning to finish this book! Michelle, you are an amazing storyteller. </p><p>I was so emotionally invested in Nora, Patsy, and Gertie that I felt their highs and lows with them. Where Patsy and Nora are concerned in regard to their relationship with their mother, I could relate to both women. Patsy being upbeat and connecting with Gertie being the younger daughter, whereas Nora feeling resentment towards Gertie for feeling abandonment when they were younger. </p><p>Reading Gertie's story and everything she endured as well was heartbreaking. Yet, it drew me closer to her. Sometimes the best we can do is just love. This book will wreck you in the best way! An absolute, priceless, must read!</p>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761670848280846809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186667873819412477.post-67695456853324790572024-02-29T07:00:00.006-07:002024-02-29T07:00:00.261-07:00Book Review: Hypnotized by Love<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7mc7g8znlZdW3J0cW90ML00fsP24a6Cp85Pb8i45i4jBdLvnoNXicDLmtfYrmYLFW6S1eOURYX4NQCdl1M-WKEkqEHiue2cNPd0Ol9xi4orNO9_EPoPsoAewTqYfsYtrA3j6Dm5O-mWnK3B_K5MGOLhrOpXF2VmEeSnZnPPFRsNidqmoTxBwUgkj3ikCu/s2550/136990889.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2550" data-original-width="1650" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7mc7g8znlZdW3J0cW90ML00fsP24a6Cp85Pb8i45i4jBdLvnoNXicDLmtfYrmYLFW6S1eOURYX4NQCdl1M-WKEkqEHiue2cNPd0Ol9xi4orNO9_EPoPsoAewTqYfsYtrA3j6Dm5O-mWnK3B_K5MGOLhrOpXF2VmEeSnZnPPFRsNidqmoTxBwUgkj3ikCu/s320/136990889.jpg" width="207" /></a></div><br /><p><span class="yiv8743744258gmail-a-text-bold" style="color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: none !important;">The power of suggestion does wonders for the heart in an absolutely captivating romantic comedy by Sariah Wilson, the bestselling author of </span><span class="yiv8743744258gmail-a-text-bold yiv8743744258gmail-a-text-italic" style="color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: none !important;">The Chemistry of Love</span><span class="yiv8743744258gmail-a-text-bold" style="color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: none !important;">.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;">Hypnotist Savannah Sinclair is known for helping clients overcome their deep-rooted issues, from anxiety to addiction. But her nontraditional approach also attracts plenty of skeptics? Including her high school nemesis and rival, Mason Beckett, who just so happens to be the boy who broke her heart.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;">Mason’s life hasn’t gone according to plan. His latest novel was a flop, and the only gig he can land is writing a scathing exposé of his hometown hypnotist, Savannah. But in order to write an authentic article, he has to be a willing participant. Hypnosis is the last thing he expected: he’s shedding his negative nature and opening himself up to new experiences…and when a fire alarm interrupts their session, Mason walks out into the real world entranced and sporting a sunny disposition and a tendency to say yes.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;">Hypnotized Mason is fearless, revealing things he’s never told a soul, acting completely out of character, and leading Savannah on a frantic chase to keep him safe. He likes his new self. The problem is, so does Savannah. She <span class="yiv8743744258gmail-a-text-italic" style="outline: none !important;">can’t</span> fall in love with a man who’s in a trance, but can she keep him still long enough to get him to snap out of it?</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #ff00fe;">My Review</span></b></p><p style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 26px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">This is a quick and hilarious read. Savannah is a hoot; especially when she has had a few too many to drink. She is a fun drunk. Although, she learned that crawling through the doggie door when you were younger vs. as an adult is not the same. </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 26px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I loved this quote by Savannah..."Nachos are basically just tacos that didn't have their life together."</span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 26px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Can I say that I wanted to hate Mason in the beginning because of what he did to Savannah, but I couldn't.
