Book Review: Beneath Her Sins

Image
  The past they buried …became the future they couldn’t resist. Jedidiah: I was supposed to walk away clean. One dead man. One tempting woman. And a whole lot of blood on my hands. I never asked to be her savior. I damn sure wasn’t looking to be a priest. But penance tastes better than prison, and hiding in a collar kept my past where it belonged—six feet under. That is…until she showed up. In my church. On her knees. Now the woman I saved is playing the saint, whispering scripture while dragging hell back to my doorstep. I recognize her but I can’t prove she’s the devil sent to damn me. But my body can. Every taunt of her wicked words pulls me deeper. The worst part? I want her to ruin me. Sayuri: He was my salvation. And my destruction. He killed my husband and vanished, leaving me to take the fall. For years, I dreamed of finding him. Not to thank him. To burn him. Break him. Watch him bleed like I have all these years. Now I have found him again, preaching sermons in some forgo...

Audiobook Review: What We Want

Image
  I've loved her since the moment she came into my life. My spiky, smart firecracker with the megawatt smile. I've loved her through her years long car crash of a relationship with a pretentious asshat, and I've loved her through the aftermath. And now that she's single, and enough time has passed for her to feel steady again, I know I've got to take action. And I can't think of a better place to finally, finally shoot my shot than at our best friends' wedding. But life has a bunch of twists and surprises I never could have anticipated, and... Well. All I can say is, WOW. Oh my god. WTF did I just do?! My Review Narrators, Lucy Rivers and William Macleod are amazing. Hearing their voices while listening to the audiobook was great. If you enjoy listening to audiobooks, you will want to download this one. I have not read the other previous books in this series but after  Leo and Sadie are good together. Ahh, Sadie. I wanted to shake her and say..."Woman, ...

After suffering in our toxic relationship for over a year, I finally know my self-worth. I’m ready to take back my life, even if that means ending his. Knox came into my life like a wicked storm. Beautiful and brutal, turning my world upside down. He ignites a fire within me that I thought had long ago lost its spark. His passion and fury challenges me to embrace my darkness and fulfill my daunting desires. He says I’m sweet like Candy, but one can only stay sweet for so long. My Review As soon as I met Knox and he told Candy not to cry over her dead beat soon to be ex, I instantly fell in love with him. I love that he encouraged Candy to show her ex what a jerk he is and what he would never have again. Yep, that is because Knox claimed Candy as soon as he met her.  "Eyes on me swe...

Book Review: Transition

Things are blossoming with Transition! The latest release in the Oakley's Crew series by Nicole Dykes is officially live! One Click Your Copy Today! Cover Designer: Ariadna Basulto with Chaotic Creatives Gabe My favorite principle in landscaping and in transition. In life? Not so much. I can’t stand change when it comes to my life.

Image
  When I agreed to my wife’s request for an open marriage, I didn’t anticipate she’d fall in love with another man and leave me. Alone now and drowning in self-destruction, I cling to memories of a trip to New Orleans nine months ago—the night I wandered into a movie theater called Paradise and spent an evening talking with the beautiful owner, Violet Devollier. Our connection was brief but intense. It was a connection so intense that when Hurricane Katrina devastates New Orleans, I’ll stop at nothing to return to Paradise and find Violet. But what good is a broken man in a broken city? To have any chance of a future with Violet, I’ll have to find the courage to piece myself back together as we rebuild Paradise after the storm. Book three of the award-winning Lost in Austin series, After the Storm, is a slow burn interracial romance which can be read as a standalone. It was the 2023 winner of the Readers’ Favorite Honorable Mention for Romance – Sizzle. My Review Where I live, I am...

Audiobook Review: Elder Creek

Image
  You wouldn't believe me if i told you... Richard Kinners is prepared for a fresh beginning and moves to the tranquil, enigmatic town of Elder Creek. However, upon his arrival, he quickly realizes that things aren't quite as they appear. The neighbours seem to conceal more than they reveal, and initial impressions can be misleading. Richard is about to discover that he has encountered far more than he bargained for. My Review Michael Robbins is a new to me narrator. After listening to him narrate the audio version of this book, I do want to check out more audiobooks narrated by him. He did a really great job of bringing to life all of the characters.  It did not take me long to settle into the story. I got Twin Peaks vibes. Which I was vibing with. I liked the supernatural element of the story. It was not just your typical story. I can't say much as I don't want to give anything away. Yet. I will tell you that if you like supernatural stories that you will want to chec...
