Book Review: Saving Jessie's Girl

Image
  She may be my brother’s girl... but she’s mine Benji My voice was stolen from me years ago. Silence is all I’ve known ever since. Until her. She understands sign language, and for the first time, someone actually hears me. There’s just one problem. She’s my brother’s girlfriend. No matter how badly he hurts her, she won’t leave him. Even when she’s falling apart in my arms, we break together. We both know this has to end. But I’m not ready to walk away. Which means there’s only one thing left to do... I have to save Jessie’s girl. My Review Ooh, Lauren what did you do to me and my poor heart. As soon as I met Benji, I already knew which brother had my heart and soul. My affection for Benji only grew stronger as the story progressed. He would literally take a bullet for Emmy, if he had to.  I felt for Emmy. She found herself in a difficult situation. Caught between a rock and a hard place. While Jessie may have seen Emmy first and claimed her; it was Benji for the win that I ...

Book Review: Your Worst Fear

Image
  When I first became a killer for hire, there were two things I never expected: to be knocked out and tied up by my new target, and for said target to be the man I’ve secretly stolen looks of from afar. The worst part? My plans are quickly diverted when he blackmails me into helping him figure out who put a hit on his head. And even more terrible than that? He still plans to kill me when all of this is over. Only, as we start to search, lines blur, and suddenly there’s no way either of us can keep our hands off each other. And I’m quickly losing my nerve to follow through with my orders and put an end to him. My Review If you liked Buther and Blackbird, this book needs to be your next read. I really enjoyed the banter and slow burn romance. Henley and Grace are like two magnets. They are drawn to each other but at the same time they can repeal. I liked Henley calling Grace "Little Killer". As the story progressed, it picked up speed and intensity.  When the spice hit, it was...

Book Review: Omega Freed

Image
  An omega imprisoned for what she is. A kind man who rescues her, never suspecting the truth. Selene was kept in a locked, dark room for years, hidden by her father to keep her safe from dangerous alphas. Until the day she’s forced to find a way out, leaving her life of captivity behind. When Harry finds a woman running through the woods, lost and confused, he takes her home to nurse her back to health. Little does he know he’s found a rare, prized omega—one who will desperately need his help when she goes into heat. But there's nothing Harry can do to sate her needs, as much as he wishes he could. He's just a beta. Or is he? This is a soft, cozy omegaverse novella about a shy woman with a dark past and the big, cinnamon roll man who wants to help her return to a normal life.

I like how kind Harold is with Sel...

Audiobook Review: Sarah and Zoey: A Story About the Power of Unconditional Love

Image
  From multi-award-winning author, Linda Watkins, comes a story of two women, from different walks of life, and the one dog who loved them both. A feature writer for the Boston Globe, Sarah Palmer had it all – a beautiful apartment, a great job, and a family she adored. A thousand miles away, Mindy Sue Watson didn’t have it so good. Trapped in a marriage to an abusive alcoholic, her only pleasure was in tossing a ball to a skinny dog she’d adopted from the local shelter. My Review Linda writes a really good story. I complete understand and can relate to the power of a dog's love. I listened to the audiobook, which is narrated by Jes Forrest. Jes does a great job of narrating the audiobook.  Sarah and Mindy both go through a lot. They both experience traumatic events that leaves them both drowning. Not physically but emotionally. Yet, through one special dog named Zoey, the two women are able to slowly heal and make a new friend for life.  If you are a dog lover like me, y...

Book Review: Heart Eyes

Image
  She saved me once. She probably doesn’t remember. I can’t forget her. Fourteen years ago, when we were small, I was starving. Not just my stomach rumbling, but hungry for kindness. For someone to look at me like I mattered. She did. Until she couldn’t look at me at all. I learned how to survive without being wanted in foster home after foster home. Holding on to my memories of her. Of how she saw me as more than  nothing . And now she’s back in my world. Bright. Successful. Untouched by the ruin that shaped me into the monster I am. I should stay away. Men like me don’t get women like her. But I’ve never been good at letting go. So I watch. And I wait. Telling myself it’s harmless. That loving her from the darkness is enough. Until I see  him . A face from our past. Someone who remembers what she did. And wants to make her pay for it. I have survived worse than him. I’m not afraid to abandon any remaining morals to keep her safe. My love for her was born in darkness and...
