Honesty Yours by Jaime Reese

Posted on May 13, 2022 8:00 pm by Karen Comment

I read the book in one day. I just could not put it down. Gian is just a ray of sunshine to Warren’s stormy life. Gian is a patient man who won’t let Warren back off, and Warren reassured Gian that his family is perfect. (Just putting it out there, I want to be a Benedetti too!) Twists and turn throughout the story, make this book a read you won’t be able to put down. Whether you will be reading by the pool this summer, or on the beach, I will suggest you bring this book with you.

The truth hurts. But in the end, honesty wins. Or does it?

Warren Prescott loves a challenge. He knows how to play the game and adapts when necessary to succeed in his cutthroat world. Tired of pining for a man he’s wanted for months, Warren intends to seal the deal. Until that man throws him an endearing curveball…

Be honest.

Gian Benedetti doesn’t play games. Success has cost him the personal connections he craves, and he doubts he’ll take another chance on a relationship. Until the attractive, younger man with the brazen personality and confidence stirs his interest.

Except…someone else is playing games.

And threatening everything Gian has worked hard to achieve.

Warren won’t rest until he uncovers the new player and gets his forever with Gian.

But they’ll soon face a hard truth—Honesty may be what brings them together… Or it could be the one thing that tears them apart.

Honestly Yours is an age-gap standalone romance. It features a snarky younger man with a giant crush on a good-hearted, affectionate, bisexual older man. Expect some banter, a little mystery, a few twists, a dash of angst, curious parents, animal trivia, and a whole lot of love…and hugs (so many hugs).

Jaime Reese is the alter ego of an artist who loves the creative process of writing, just not about herself. Fiction is far more interesting. She has a weakness for broken, misunderstood heroes and feels everyone deserves a chance at love and life. An avid fan of a happy ending, she believes those endings acquired with a little difficulty are more cherished.

Up in Arms by Kindle Alexander

Posted on February 25, 2022 7:09 pm by Karen Comment

I first reviewed this book in 2013 when it was first published. This is my original review with a few edits here and there.

One of my favorite authors is, Kindle Alexander. I have previously reviewed many of their books, now that this book has been re edited, I decided to reread and rereview Up in Arms.

Reed is the gentleman that every man or woman dreams of.

Trevor, even being a stacked Marine, has the many insecurities that typically woman have in stories. But, I fell in love with him before Reed did.

*********************SPOILER ALERT**********************

If you do not want to know what happens within the story, do not read any further than this. Just know that I adored this book and give Up in Arms:

I totally related to Trevor when he thought there was no way Reed could ever seriously want him past maybe one incredible round of hot sex. Did he want to ruin his adopted family?

Reed is sex on a stick. He can have any man he wants, and after taking one look at Trevor he only wants him. After Rylie’s wedding, well during the reception, Reed finally takes Trevor to bed to make love. Something he never has done. Of course, there is no morning after because Trevor’s special forces team get called for duty.

While in the jungle, Trevor can only think about Reed. He has his doubt about the relationship Reed told him he wanted. Was he telling the truth? Could he really want him? Once the task his is sent to do with his team, he finds himself in an impossible situation and finds Reed is there for him. Is it fair to have Reed in a relationship where Trevor is a burden? Trevor doesn’t think so, so he tries to push Reed away. I was crying and saying nooooooooooooooooo! But Reed, the loving Kensington he is, sees through Trevor’s actions and takes care of Trevor.

I love Reed….I want one of those. I am married, but damn wish he was like him!

Mega spoiler alert!!!!

Congressional Medal of Honor was definitely written all over Trevor for what he did. I am so happy we got to see experience it with Trevor and Reed.

Loved the book Kindle!

Up In Arms is a heavily revised rerelease of the original story published in 2012.

Reed Kensington, self-made millionaire, ruthless attorney, and handsome playboy has the perfect life…just ask him. Which is why he’s surprised when a chance encounter at his baby brother’s wedding makes him cross-exam his plans for his future.

Trevor West loves his friends and his life in the military as a special ops team member. Though he longs to find a special someone, he refuses to jeopardize his career on something as elusive as love. Until he meets Reed, and the desires running through him threaten his hard-fought self-control.

When a dangerous mission blows their world apart, Reed doesn’t let anything stop him from jumping in. But can he convince Trevor that they belong together…that he deserves a chance at love?

Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It’s always a surprise to see what’s coming next!

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it’s true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women’s hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life – I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations – regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal… I don’t want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I’m going to tell you about Kindle.

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I’ll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died – weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn’t have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It’s everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness – it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn’t a time she wasn’t there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It’s its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn’t be here today without her.

Baden by Sawyer Bennett

Posted on January 17, 2022 8:17 pm by Karen Comment

Could you ever imagine what it would be like to see your best friend and his entire team perish in a plane crash after you just regained use of your legs after saving a damsel in distress? That is what happened to Baden. When asked to go from playing hockey to coaching hockey with that lost team, you have a choice to make. Sophie has such fears that are understandable. Once Baden comes back into her life, he saves her a second time. Who wouldn’t fall in love with him?! A touching story of two people overcoming their fears and disabilities. I cannot wait for the rest of the series.

After suffering a horrific injury that threatens to end his career, Baden Oulett is about to learn that sometimes a fresh start is just what the doctor ordered.

I worked my whole life to achieve one goal—play professional hockey. As part of the defending Cup champion Arizona Vengeance, I was living my dream until one split second decision destroyed it all. Instead of lacing up my skates and hitting the ice, I’ve spent my days in rehab and physical therapy just so I could walk again.

When a coaching opportunity with the Pittsburgh Titans is presented to me, I find myself with a career I had never considered but which allows me to continue being part of the sport that I love. While my injuries are physical, the same can’t be said for the woman I rescued.

Suffering from wounds that can’t be seen, Sophie Winters has withdrawn from the world in fear and guilt. I didn’t know Sophie before that fateful night and have only met her once since, but I refuse to let her face her demons alone. Determined to be a friend, I support Sophie in the only way I know how… by simply being there.

Through our shared trauma, Sophie and I begin to find peace within one another. As we grow closer, what started as friendship becomes more intimate until our broken pieces become one. But can a love born of anguish endure, or will the pain of our past prove too much to overcome?

It’s Complicated by Kindle Alexander

Posted on December 14, 2021 11:08 pm by Karen Comment

I finished this book in 5 hours only taking small breaks to eat and such….didn’t want to put it down. Didn’t want it to end either. This is an awsome book! Julian has been a character that I believe deserved love. He went through so much and Beckett is just the one that can heal Julian and love him. As usual Kindle has given us a book that is riveting and has you rooting for the couple to get together. She just needs to write faster because I can’t wait 2 years for another book!

Nightclub manager Julian Cullen runs Reservations with impeccable precision and a deep sense of pride. But repressed memories from his abduction two years ago surface, leaving him struggling emotionally. Julian vows to reclaim his previous life but doesn’t factor in the biggest distraction of all: the handsome cowboy hanging around the club intent on gaining his attention.

Entrepreneur Beckett St. Clair built an industry-leading survivalist training company through hard work and dedication. The tough as nails outdoorsman can navigate any situation or so he thinks…When a chance encounter with a guarded night club manager leaves him tumbling head over heels into uncharted territory.

One man is lost to his past, the other dreams of a future.

Both men will soon find out love is never easy…it’s complicated.
