Book Review: Save My Soul

Image
  Paulina Anghel, a powerful vampire from Romania, is called to New York City to assist with an uprising of vampires. The furthest thought from her mind is a romantic entanglement. Yet one innocent touch from the lion shifter, Oba Izem, sets off a chain reaction of emotions that has her both leery yet hopeful to believe: after nearly two millennia, she’s found her mate. Pride leader, Oba Izem, is focused on clearing up the matter with rogue vampires which inadvertently involves his sister. Upon meeting the esteemed Paulina Anghel, desire sweeps through him like wildfire over a dry savanna. Knowing she’s his mate, he’ll convince her their union is worth more than anything in existence. As they explore their desires while battling an enemy, will their chance at a future be cut short before it even begins? My Review Paulina and Oba are both strong characters. I am not mad about the instant connection that included a physical attraction between these two. I say this because I felt it a...

Book Review: Oklahoma Storms

Image
  In the rolling thunder and lightning strikes, I’ve lost myself. In sadness. In guilt. In resentment, the kind that sets its roots in and only continues to grow. A fatal storm twenty years ago changed my entire life. And I’m angry it didn’t take me too. Living is hard when you’re sick of it. Life gets even harder when a group of storm chasers trespass on my property. My fangs drop. Crimson colors my vision. Heat floods my body. The breeze carries a scent that awakens my vampire and that can only mean one thing. My fated mate is here. She’s a storm chaser. And I hate chasers.

Audiobook Review: Here with You

Image
  They call him The Mad One . A cocky hotshot on the racetrack. While I’m not a fan, we do agree on one thing: Maddox Hartley doesn’t want me in his life. Shadowing a recently retired racing champion for six weeks is a far cry from investigative journalism. But when your editor benches you, you make the consolation assignment count. Because my job isn’t just a paycheck, it’s justice for my brother. I’ll play along. I just didn’t count on him being so hard to resist. And the more time I spend in his orbit, the harder it is to remember why I can’t let myself want him. A reporter falling for her subject only ends one way—in ruins. I know better. Once my article runs, I’ll leave Winslow Grove behind. What I don’t’ realize yet is, the story was never on the line, it's always been my heart… My Review Grace and Maddox actually have more in common than they realize. They would if Maddox was not trying to avoid Grace. Yet, I understood where Maddox was coming from and why he was dodging ...

The same family that is trying to destroy his club. Hayes is a flirt. He’s reckless. A heartbreaker. The only commitment he’s ever made is to the patch on his chest.

Book Review: Tether

Image
  At nineteen years old, surviving each day is the only thing I’ve become accustomed to. After losing my mother in a car accident, and spending my teenage years in the ruthless foster system–I’ve become too familiar with the cruelty and loneliness this world has to offer. My life was hanging by a fraying thread, and I was about to lose everything I had worked so hard to attain. I was hopeless and defeated by the hand I had been dealt. That is, until a letter arrived from my unfamiliar late grandfather's estate, deeming me the sole heir of his grand fortune, including Gravenhurst Manor and Hollowcrest Academy. With nothing left to lose, I accept my fate and make my way to Hollowcrest–a town which thrives on power, legacy and secrets. Where shadows lurk around every corner, and nothing is quite what it seems. A charming son of a founding family captures my attention. His charisma and magnetism call to me, but I can’t stop my heart from being drawn to another–the brooding groundskeepe...

Book Review: Her Crew

Image
  Her Crew is a LIGHT GRAY story with medium spice level and high angst! I made myself unattractive for a reason. He still found me beautiful. Tegan I spent eighteen years barely surviving. Life taught me early on that no one was coming to save me. Then I met Alec. One impulsive decision lands me in a traveling crew of hustlers and outcasts who become the closest thing I've ever had to a family. Between Alec's reckless charm and his best friend's quiet strength, I find myself falling for two men who have been through hell themselves—and who refuse to let me face mine alone. But life on the road isn’t easy, and every con comes with a price. As feelings deepen and loyalties are tested, I'll have to decide if I can trust the family I've found . . . or risk losing everything I've ever wanted. Her Crew is a dark why-choose romance featuring found family, damaged heroes, a plus-size heroine, emotional healing, and two men willing to burn the world down for the woman...

Audiobook Reviews: Spicy Times with C. Hallman

Image
  A Dark Captive Romance Even before I met them I knew they were trouble. It was supposed to be a simple prison transfer that ended up anything but. Hunter and Ryker were two hardened criminals that shouldn’t look as good as they do. As a police officer it was my job to follow the rules and that meant ignoring whatever feelings these men stirred in me. I read their files. Ryker likes to torture people to death. So when they kidnap me, I know my fate is sealed. I’ll do anything to survive, but will it be enough? My Review Annie has to be tough. She works around dangerous criminals. She never imagined that a ride with prisoners would turn into a forced proximity situation. Two of the criminals, Hunter and Ryker take Annie. Ryker is the leader and therefore has a bully attitude. Hunter brings moments of laughter with his joking persona. Yet, when it really mattered, both guys help Annie.  This novella is one SPICY read or in my case listen. I listened to the audiobook.
