Book Review: Heist In Paradise

Image
  Money Heist meets Taken in this dark, fast-paced thriller romance. A hundred-million-dollar masterpiece. A crew of thieves. An island that doesn’t forget. Jax has pulled off impossible heists before—but nothing like this. When his mysterious employer sends his crew to a remote, uncharted island, they hope it will be the score of a lifetime. But the island has its own secrets. And they are not alone. Good girl Olivia has no interest in riches. She’s hunting answers—her sister vanished here, leaving behind only silence and heartache.

Audiobook Review: All the Rest

Image
  It's been five years since I found my family. Not my bio-family—my found family of friends. I love them to pieces, but lately they aren’t enough. I want a baby. All my friends have family units with cuddly babies, and I want that too. But I turn thirty-five in less than a month. Clock’s ticking, so I’ve got to hustle. I need some baby batter to bake a bun in my oven as soon as possible. One problem: baby batter comes from men, and I’m really tired of men and their heartbreaker BS. Manic, though, is different from the other men. A retired sideshow circus performer with piercings all over the place, he’s different from everyone. I really like him, and I think he really likes me, too, but he flat out refuses to get me pregnant. Is Manic worth giving up my dream of being a kickass mom? Maybe. The fourth and final book of the award winning Lost In Austin series, All the Rest is a grumpy/sunshine romance with tons of laughs and heart and dirty, dirty smut. It's the last book in the...

Book Review: Claiming Raven

Image
  I’ve always known my life wasn’t really mine—Not my choices. Not my future. Everything changes when Dante Bianchi and Anton Ricci step in. They rule Seven Hills with ruthless precision. The deeper I fall into their world, the more dangerous everything becomes. Men like them don’t just protect what they want—They claim it. My Review This book showed me the Emily that I came to know and like. Do check your triggers though as some of first scene is a bit hard to read.  However, Raven is a fighter. She does not have to fight alone. She is joined by three guys, Dante, Anton, and Leo, who are very supportive of Raven. Don't mess with her as these guys will not let it go. It is with their love that Raven does find strength. Emily brings the darker side with this book. Readers of Emily's will like this book.  THIS IS A DARK ROMANCE WITH HEAVY TRIGGERS. READER'S DISCRETION IS HIGHLY ADVISED.

Book Review: Pixels

Image
  “I just got sucked into an early nineties’ video game. Happens all the time.” “I don’t know the frequency, but that is what happened this time.” “Okay,” Teddy nods, “sure.” After a late night and some questionable candy, Teddy wakes to find himself in a whole new world filled with favorite nostalgic characters, but also the challenges that come along with them. Denni has been exploring the same desert her whole life, hoping for something new, but she never expected the man who has been playing her game to play with her heart. Can the two level up their relationship, or will it be game over? Pixels is book 16 in the Kyleverse, a series of sentient object romance short stories. Kyle isn’t the main character, but he shows up to help the plot in one way or another. The stories are sequential but can be read as standalones. My Review I am a gamer both of computer and console. So, I am a sucker of gamer stories. This one is a fun one. As a gamer, who won't want to find themselves trans...

Book Review: Folds - Anthology

Boo Review; Save a Horse, Ride a Cow Man

Image
  Welcome to Taurus Ranch, where the romance is high-heat and heartfelt, and the cowboys are cow men. Broke, jobless, and surrounded by exes and friends I’m pretty sure don’t actually like me, I’m at my wits’ end. So when I get a call that my estranged grandma died and gave me half her guest ranch, I do the only logical thing—pack up my entire life and move across the country to a place I haven’t been since I was six. Reckless? Absolutely. In my defense, I have nothing to lose. Or so I thought. Turns out that the ranch has seen better days and needs a miracle to bring it back to life. To make matters worse, Cal, the grumpy minotaur who got the other half of the ranch, seems determined to make my life a living hell. Too bad for him, I’m as stubborn as the ranch’s namesake. This is my chance to start over and find a place where I belong, and I won’t give up because some rude, annoyingly hot cow man thinks I’m not good enough. As we learn to work together, stern glares and cutting bar...

Book Review: When You Stayed

Image
  What to Expect: Small Town Motorcycle Club Enemies to Lovers Secret Crush Obsession Secret Tattoo Suspense  I was never meant to stay in Rose Ridge. My father was the president of a notorious motorcycle club, so if something rattled him enough to request that I go, I should have listened. In my defense, at the time, it seemed more terrifying to give up the only dream I ever had than to leave like everyone else. I should have known that chasing that dream would lead back to the club, because everything in this town eventually did. I wasn’t expecting to see a familiar face, glaring as usual, amidst the chaos surrounding the Stone Riders. For years, I had endured scowls, glares, and scoffs from Ford Ryan. However, there was something new and different about his heated stare, and even that oddly protective touch. Something dangerous and addictive. I should have left when I had the chance, because my proximity to Ford and the club meant I was close to danger. Even worse would be ...
