My favorite Londoner, Millie Brady is back in Millie’s Fling. While on a date that is going horribly wrong, Millie meets famous author, Orla Hart. Orla finds Millie intriguing and takes an interest in her. She decides to make Millie the heroine of her next novel. Unfortunately, Orla finds Millie’s love life lacking and plans to help her spice it up with a cast of unique guys. What Orla doesn’t know is that Millie already has her sights set on someone but he hates her guts. At least Millie won’t be alone as she deals with being Orla’s pet project, as she has Hester. Will Millie’s Fling end before it has even started? I first discovered and fell in love with Millie when I read Miranda’s Big Mistake. From than I couldn’t get enough of Millie and her hilarious antics. I don’t know what happened but unfortunately I didn’t experience the same sparkle in Millie’s Fling as I did in the prior novel. Though there were some parts that made me laugh…like the time that Hester went to a salon for so...

I want to thank Mrs. Checketts for sending me a copy of this book to review. In addition to sending me a copy, she has graciously offered to giveaway a copy to one lucky reader. Savannah “Savvy” and her sister, Allison are very close. So when a terrible incident happens to Allison leaving her in a coma, Savannah is just heart broken. She knows she has to stay strong for the rest of her family, especially Allison’s son, Josh. Detective Noah Shumway is in charge of the case. At first he doesn’t believe Savvy’s story about her suspecting someone of being in Allison’s home. After some more investigating, Noah not only believes Savvy but fears that her life is in danger and she could be next. Noah isn’t the only one trying to warn Savvy. Allison wakes for a brief moment from her coma. She is mumbling the name of someone. Can a sister’s bond be strong enough to protect Savannah from the person who harmed Allison? I thought this was a sweet, caring story about two sisters and the bond they s...

I want to thank Mr. Sherwood for letting me review both of his books. One night Mural is visited by a demon. He bestows a gift upon Mural. All Mural has to do is stay alive and he will be reunited with Veronica again. As everyone else around Mural dies, Mural starts to grow weary of his gift. He longs to rid himself of the gift. He gives the gift away to a man named Randy. It isn’t long after that Mural regrets his decision and wants his gift back. A chase ensures and it will be a fight to the death, where only the strong will survive. I didn’t realize how much I actually would enjoy this book, till I started reading it. It was dark and had some gruesome parts. Just the way I like my thrillers. Mural had this very dark, menacing side to him but on the same hand, he was also a very tortured and lost soul. Mr. Sherwood brought good depth and dimension to Mural. I had had one issue with this book and that the story started in the present but when it switched to the past, the switch wasn’t...

I am glad to be a part of this book blog tour. One of the best things about participating in book tours is that I get to discover and try new authors like Tom Piazza . SJ Williams works with his hands as a carpenter. He was born and raised in New Orleans. He also cares for his sister, Lucy and her son, Wesley. They are a close knit family. Everyone who knows SJ can pretty much call him a friend. Friends are important, especially when you live in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. Craig Donaldson, on the other hand couldn’t be any different from SJ. He moved to New Orleans with his family. He works as the editor of the city’s newspaper. He and his family have issues. At any moment it could all come crashing down. His wife hates New Orleans and wants to move back. When disaster strikes in the form of Hurricane Katrina, both families will fight for their lives. I have to admit that the book summary was more interesting than the actual book was. While I did at first find SJ Williams a l...
