    My Review

    I always enjoy a visit back to Paradise.  Although the women have been through one hell or another, they always find their Paradise in love.  This book is no different.  Strong man who falls HARD upon first sight of the woman who is other half.  He will get her, no matter if she wants him or not.  

    Love is the tangling of two people’s heartstrings, and this book will pull at yours.

    cover

    Army Strong has a mission….to protect Southern Sassy at all costs. 

    The directive had been clear: Deeply embed himself in the fair town of Paradise, Tennessee, and keep one Melody Song Reardon from forgiving her fornicating ex-fiancé and keep her safe by any means necessary.  Fortunately, Retired First Sergeant Callum Valentine had always been a man that got the job done. Unfortunately, nobody told him that while his ‘job’ might be as pretty as a picture, she could be ornery as a wet cat and had a stubborn streak a mile long. Now, he was battling baristas and dodging would-be assassins in an effort to keep one sultry southern minx safe.

    He’d thought the Taliban would be the most dangerous force he ever face. Imagine his surprise when he realized that the radical extremists had nothing on one curvy little woman with a wicked edge to her tongue…. a woman that had somehow tangled herself around his cold heart.

    ★✩★

    Melody Song Reardon was done with men. After learning that the man she’d been going to marry was no better than a corporate Casanova in and out of the boardroom and bedroom, she’d decided that love just wasn’t in the cards for her.  Which was fine.  She was young, smart, and capable… and better yet, she had a dream and a plan: Opening her very own book/yarn store – Hooks & Books. She had the brains. She had the building. And now, she had a freaking bodyguard compliments of her interfering older brother?

    She didn’t care how mouthwateringly handsome her so-called savior was; she didn’t need another controlling man in her life telling her what to do. At least, she hadn’t needed one…. until those nerve wracking hang-ups and strange notes took an ominous turn. Now, somebody wants her dead and the only thing standing between her and the Grim Reaper is one seriously gorgeous man named Callum Valentine.   Falling in love again in the middle of her own personal apocalypse hadn’t been the plans…then again, the great thing about a plan is that it can change on a dime!

    Captionless ImageSynopsis

    New Orleans is a city of Mystery and Beauty. For Synergy Emerson, it’s the place she hopes to find answer. Discovering a world she never knew existed wasn’t in her plans, but sometimes Fate has a plan of her own.

    When she discovers new powers, she’ll have to learn to control them while surviving the ones who want to use her for their gain.
    With a bounty on her head, she’ll have a hard time escaping the clutches of evil.

    Kanai Aeros is frustrated with his day to day routine. Being a supernatural cop was time consuming, leaving no time for a personal life.

    When Synergy Emerson pulls into town and a bunch of dead bodies start showing up, he learns there is so much more to her and the community he’s lived in all of his life than he ever imagined.
    The supernatural community is about to get bigger and a lot deadlier.

  • Saving Steele by Anne Jolin

    Posted on by Karen Comment
     

     

    When I agreed to read this book, I had not read the prior 4 books in the series.  

    I decided to read the entire series and I have to say, that this one is my favorite of them all.  Letting Ryker have his POV just gave the story more well rounded.  I love that we get to hear from him from almost page one.  We find out how his life was before he shows up to Jackson’s door.  

    In this story, you really get Jackson, and his illness and how he lives his life in spite of it.  He steps up from the second he knows he has Ryker and never looks back.  

    On top of all that, he falls almost instantly for Kennedy.  Kennedy and her OCD.  She is so organized she should have stock in Post-Its.    She and Ryker form a relationship just as awsome as her’s with Jackson.  

    This book will make you laugh, cry, and go awwwwwwwwwwww! 

    – SYNOPSIS – 

    What happens when circumstances of life threaten the one thing both Jackson and Kennedy love? Saving Steele from himself may prove to be too much for Cross to bear.

    Kennedy Cross had her heart broken early in life. It wasn’t someone or something who betrayed her—it was her own body. Despite it being all she’s ever wanted, Kennedy will never know what it feels like to feel her baby’s feet kick from the inside out. Having been pronounced infertile at only eighteen, she redirected her life the best way she could.

    Eight years and a degree later, Kennedy is one of the most well-loved first-grade teachers at Rock Falls Elementary School. It doesn’t matter that her college boyfriend left her because he wanted children of his own. She has twenty-two of the most gorgeous six-year-olds who adore her and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Jackson Steele deals only in extremes. He falls victim to manic episodes lasting for days, sometimes weeks at a time, sending him reeling from volatile highs to devastating lows. It’s a living hell just being inside his own mind, and that hell has taken everything he’s ever loved away from him. But what if, this time, it gives him something? An untimely gift from God and a brunette with legs eight miles long will bring him the most unforeseen joy but also his most challenging of tests.  

    What happens when circumstances of life threaten the one thing both Jackson and Kennedy love? Saving Steele from himself may prove to be too much for Cross to bear.

    – ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Anne Jolin –
     
    Hey y’all, I was born and raised in Ladner, a small farm town just outside Vancouver, Canada. I grew up riding horses, shooting guns, and driving in trucks. 
     
    I never expected to be an author. A massage therapist? Yes.  Take over the family construction company? Yes. But an author? No. Writing was something that snuck up on me and rooted itself into my life. It was beautiful to discover that love, and I’m truly grateful to say I’ve found my passion. 
    Since I’ve always been a creative person, it feels amazing to harness all of that energy and use it to tell a story I love. I enjoy incorporating bits of my real life into the stories I write. What parts are true? Hah. I’ll never tell—what would be the fun in that? 
     
    If I could leave y’all with one thing, it’s that life’s far too short to not live it out loud. Drown in your passions, hold on tight to the things that inspire you, and chase your dreams relentlessly. I can promise you without a doubt that you won’t regret it. I know I don’t. 
     
    Mad love, 
    Anne Jolin

  • NOAH’S JOURNEY by CA Harms

    Posted on by Karen Comment
     

     

    For some reason, I like books with surprise babies in them.  Not only does Noah have to develop a relationship with Alena and his child.  I felt really bad for Alena, but she was a trooper for knowing that Noah needed to put his son first.

    I have been looking forward to this book, and it didn’t let me down.  I really liked it. 

     

    – SYNOPSIS –
    The years that were taken can never be repaid.  The memories stolen can never be returned.
    But I had to move forward…for him, my son.
    Noah had spent years wondering what he could have done differently. Wondering what he’d done wrong to make Stacey leave. The heartache from her absence and the what-ifs of their past eventually turned to anger—and then disgust.
    It took years for him to move on, and once he did, his past came thundering back, revealing a secret.
    A secret that would forever change his future.
    Alena had waited for the chance to have more with Noah. He was an enigma, a man of mystery, yet she wasn’t quite ready to give up on him. She knew there was more to him than what he allowed those around him to see. She was drawn to his charm and his calm nature. With an uprooted past of her own, she craved a little stability more than anything. But when things between them finally begin to grow into more, their relationship is tested.
    Will it all be too much for Alena to handle?
    Or will she decide to stay and be a part of…Noah’s Journey?

  • Second to None by Felice Stevens

    Posted on by Karen Comment

    SecondToNoneTourBanner

    Marcus has been my favorite character of the series since book one.  He is jaded to love and I always knew it was for a good reason.  One interaction with his father, and I totally get it.  His friends knew that when the right person came alone, he would make Marcus change his view, and boy were they right.  Just watching Tyler dance did things to Marcus he never thought he would do in a million years.  But who really stole Marcus’s heart was Lillie.  I love when the people who though they could never love anyone gets a double dose.  She is so sweet, she gave me a tooth ache. 

    Love come in all shapes, sizes, and types. 

    Second to None

    BLURB:

    Nightclub owner Marcus Feldman never met a man he didn’t love, at least for the night. Although his best friends have all found love, Marcus shuns their advice to commit to one man and settle down. His past has taught him monogamy and marriage is for fools, and Marcus is anything but a fool.

    Tyler Reiss’s dream of dancing professionally is unexpectedly cut short and replaced by a different kind of love. He trades in his ballet slippers for go go boots, and spends his nights dancing at the hottest gay club in the city. Flirting with the customers for tips is easy, but resisting the dark and sexy Marcus is becoming harder to do with each passing day.

    Unforeseen circumstances bring Marcus and Tyler closer and though they give in to their mutual passion, both still struggle to guard their hearts. When crises threaten, Tyler and Marcus find their strength in each other rather than falling apart. Tyler must choose to either run, or stay and fight for the life he wants, while Marcus realizes that love doesn’t mean losing himself and opens his heart, making him a better man in the end.

    EXCERPT

    “This wasn’t a permanent arrangement; you knew that.” Tyler leaned against the wall. “I can’t impose on you any longer. I’m sure you want your bedroom and your life back.”

    “I didn’t mind it last night.” He walked over to Tyler and placed a hand on his neck, stroking him. This he could do. He had no qualms about seducing Tyler to stay with him. The troubling reason why he wanted him there so badly, Marcus pushed to the side for now. Instead, he pulled Tyler close, settling their hips in line, and his cock thickened in his pants. “I’d tell you if I did. Please, come with me to brunch, and we can talk.”

    Doubt clouded Tyler’s eyes. “I don’t belong there. Those are your friends, the people you’re closest with.”

    “I had my dick inside you twice last night, Tyler. How much closer could we get?”

    It took Marcus many minutes of deep, persuasive kisses to rid Tyler of his confusion. When he pulled away though, the ground under his feet reeled, and Marcus needed a moment to compose himself.

    They remained standing close; Tyler’s hands rested on his shoulders while he clasped Tyler around his hips. He nuzzled Tyler’s ear, then pleaded with him.

    “Come on; you have to help me out here. They’re all coupled up, and the last thing I want is to listen to them be all disgustingly loving and happy.”

    An amused glint lit Taylor’s eyes. “And you hate that, huh?”

    “Bet that sweet ass of yours I do.” He gave Tyler’s ass a squeeze for effect, and the light in Tyler’s eyes smoldered.

    “If you want me to come, you’d better get your hands off my ass.”

    Marcus’s lips curved up in a grin as he popped open the button of Tyler’s jeans and drew them down.

    “I definitely want you to come; in every way possible,” he said, and sank to his knees, uncaring of how late he might be to meet Zach and Julian.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    Felice Stevens has always been a romantic at heart. While life is tough, she believes there is a happy ending for everyone. She started reading traditional historical romances as a teenager, then life and law school got in the way. It wasn’t until she picked up a copy of Bertrice Small and became swept away to Queen Elizabeth’s court that her interest in romance novels was renewed.

    But somewhere along the way, her reading shifted to stories of men falling in love. Once she picked up her first gay romance, she became so enamored of the character-driven stories and the overwhelming emotion there was no turning back.

    Felice lives in New York City with her husband and two children. Her day begins with a lot of caffeine and ends with a glass or two of red wine. Although she practices law, she daydreams of a time when she can sit by a beach and write beautiful stories of men falling in love. Although there is bound to be some angst along the way, a Happily Ever After is always guaranteed.
