I received a copy of Cuffed and Claimed by Lynne St. James in exchange for an honest review of her story, House Arrest, which is included in the book. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>My Review:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
Note: I have only read Lynne St James' story, House Arrest. My review and rating are based on that.<br />
<br />
Ethan is a former airman and now small town detective. Anna is the CEO of the town’s leading real estate agency. Anna’s heart was broken when her former love was killed, so she guards her heart with a fierce determination. Until Ethan breaks down her walls and shows her it’s ok to love again.<br />
<br />
This story features an edge of your seat suspense story, sweet and sexy love story, and characters who have ties and friendships some people only dream about. When a series of home robberies are tied to Anna’s real estate agency, Ethan and his partner, Steele, enlist her help trying to find who is behind them. I found Ethan to be sexy and sweet and Anna to be funny, a little high strung, but overall an overworked woman. Their relationship advances to a new place during this story and the sweetness and love between them is obvious and endearing. The robbery part of the story kept me wanting to read more about who was behind it. I was guessing along with the characters and did not anticipate the ending at all! I really enjoyed this one and look forward to reading more in this anthology.<br />

<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
From New York Times
Bestselling author Tracy Wolff and International Bestselling author Katie
Graykowski comes a sexy tale of love, laughter and lingerie …<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Lyric Wright is an
off-beat astrophysicist whose life is falling apart around her. After losing
her fiancé to a hula dancing astrologer and losing her dress to an ill-fated
leap of faith, she’s sure there’s nowhere for her life to go but up. At least
until she sits down on a trans-Pacific flight next to the one man she never
wanted to see again—the boy she’d lost her heart and her virginity too back
before she’d learned that friendship and football don’t equal true love.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Broken down
quarterback Heath Montgomery is on a plane ride to nowhere. Dodging the phone
call he’s certain will end his professional football career for good, he might
be Texas bound, but he knows there’s nowhere for him to go but down. But that’s
before his childhood best friend and confidante plops back into his life
wearing nothing but duct tape and a bad attitude. Determined not to lose her
again (especially since he isn’t sure why he lost her the first time) and
desperate to outrun his own shadowy future, Heath sets out to take Lyric on the
ride of her life. Too bad she only dates men who actually know what her
butterfly nebula is … and can find it without the help of a star chart.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Add in one
passive-aggressive flight attendant with delusions of couture, a cherry red car
with a crush on Neil Diamond, an over-protective sister with a black belt in
Krav Maga, two parents determined to marry their spinster daughter off to the
hometown hero no matter the cost, and a whole lot of lingerie popping up in all
the right places at all the wrong times and you’ve got an unforgettable love
story that fans of Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Rachel Gibson won’t want to
miss!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Excerpt:</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tre chose that moment to flounce down the aisle. He stopped
at her seat, held a blanket out to her. “Here’s your cape, Wonder Woman. I
thought you might be cold.” He glanced down at the shoes and purse she’d
crammed into the seat pocket in front of her. “You need to stow those under the
seat in front of you. In case of turbulence, the last thing Wonder Woman needs
is a stiletto in the eye.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I couldn’t bend that
far. The dress is too tight.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Whining is so unbecoming. Don’t you know we girls have been
suffering for fashion for centuries?” But he reached forward and pulled the
shoes out. “We’ll just store these overhead. No bending necessary.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He flicked the
blanket open, stood back debating his options, and then slid a corner into her
cleavage like a huge napkin before tucking the rest around her. “Can I get you
anything else?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lyric swallowed the lump in her throat, absurdly grateful
for the fact that she’d somehow ended up on a plane with a flight attendant who
was kind and benevolent in his own bitchy way. “A glass of water would be
nice.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He patted her shoulder. “Oh, honey, you’ve earned a lot more
than a little H two uh-oh. I’ll be right back.” Beside her, the newspaper was
shaking. She hoped it was laughter and not a seizure, but from this angle she
couldn’t be sure. What was with this guy anyway? He made the Unabomber seem
chatty.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tre came back
brandishing an entire basket of liquor bottles in one hand and a glass of ice
in the other. “I didn’t think one would be enough. What would you like?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lyric eyed the display, thought of the long flight in front
of her, and said, “Yes, please,” as she scooped the entire basket right out of
his hand. “And a glass of cranberry juice when you get a chance.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Great idea. Give your liver a vitamin infusion before
hitting the hard stuff … like breaking the fall from a tenstory building with a
pillow. Just for fun, I’ll bring you some tomato juice too. I’d hate to have to
slap your forehead later because you coulda had a V8.” He glanced at the
newspaper. “Can I get you anything, big guy?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The newspaper didn’t so much as quiver, but a muffled, “No,
I’m good,” did float over the top of it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“He’s famous,” Tre
mouthed. He leaned down and whispered next to her ear, “Who knew a newspaper
was so versatile? Reading material and shield from the hordes of comatose
passengers who are even now leaping over the seats to get to him, pen in hand
for autographs. It’s a good thing you’re duct-taped into that dress, Wonder
Woman, otherwise you might jump him too.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Who is it? The Rock?” She would have eased up and peeked
over the paper, but in this dress, easing was anything but easy. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The paper rattled angrily, and Tre’s eyes widened. “I don’t
think he’s a WWF fan. I’ll get that cranberry juice now.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Traitor. Lyric watched him hightail it down the aisle. Oh
sure, he had no problem flouncing down here and riling up Mr. Uncongeniality,
but the second things got a little tense, he left her to deal with the fallout.
This was all she needed … a narcissistic, Rock-hating seatmate with a bionic
knee and possession of HER armrest. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She opened a bottle of vodka. To hell with the cranberry
juice. She couldn’t wait that long. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him lower the paper
about halfway. She couldn’t see much from this vantage point, and after Tre’s
latest stunt, she didn’t want to be too obvious. Famous people didn’t like
being gawked at—or so she’d heard. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Under the guise of turning on her overhead light, she
elbowed her way onto the armrest and tried to peek around the paper. It moved
to block her view. This guy was cagey, but curiosity had been her guiding
star—take that, Rob; she had stars too—for as long as she could remember. Since
subterfuge wasn’t her strong suit, she shoved the basket his way. “There’s
enough for two.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He snorted. “It looks
like there’s enough there for half the plane.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lyric froze, vodka bottle halfway to her lips. She knew that
voice. And not from a Hollywood movie or TV show. No, she knew it because it
was the last thing she’d heard before her heart had shattered like Humpty
Dumpty—into so many pieces it could never be put back together again.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Two childhood friends turned lovers is the theme of this
story. Lyric’s father was rushed to the hospital after a massive heart attack
and Lyric flies from Hawaii to Texas to be with her family. A series of hilarious
events lead up and continue after she realizes her seatmate is none other than
Heath Montgomery, the star football player of the Houston Wranglers! He also
happens to be her former best friend and teenage love. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This story is so darn funny!! Lyric takes life seriously
because she is an astrophysicist. Heath likes tall tales, jokes, and letting
loose, so the sarcastic banter between the two kept me laughing and wanting to
read more! It’s the perfect light rom-com book to take up an afternoon!</div>

A snowstorm in the South—on New Year’s Eve—is a perfect recipe for a
catastrophe. After two soul-crushing bad breaks, Kirk’s waiting for disaster
number three to strike when, naturally, two stray cats arrive on his doorstep
during the storm and decide to make themselves at home. Tenderhearted Kirk lets
them stay even though there’s something decidedly odd about his overly friendly
felines.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Out of the punishing weather and full of tuna, Dolf and Tal are happy to be
snug in Kirk’s house. But then their human goes outside for firewood and
suffers a nasty fall that leaves him unconscious. Now the two cats have no
choice but to reveal themselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kirk wakes up to find the two kitties are actually Dolf and Tal. They’re cat
shifters—and his destined mates. Being part of a feline threesome is enough for
Kirk to grapple with, but soon he learns they come from a clowder that doesn’t
believe humans and shifters should mix. Kirk knew those two cats would be
trouble. Little does he know the real trouble lies ahead.</div>

<b>Toutes griffes dehors, tome 1</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Une tempête de neige dans le sud, le jour du Nouvel An, est la recette parfaite pour une catastrophe. Après deux incidents dévastateurs, Kirk attend qu'un troisième désastre se produise lorsque, tout naturellement, deux chats errants arrivent sur son palier durant la tempête et décident de faire comme chez eux dans sa maison. Kirk et son grand cœur les laissent rester, même s'il y a décidément quelque chose de bizarre avec ces nouveaux félins bien trop amicaux.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
À l'abri du mauvais temps et remplis de thon, Dolf et Tal sont contents d'être blottis dans la maison de Kirk. Mais ensuite, leur humain se rend à l'extérieur à la recherche de bûches pour la cheminée et fait une chute violente qui le laisse inconscient. Les deux chats n'ont plus d'autres choix que de révéler leur identité.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kirk se réveille et découvre que les deux chats sont en réalité Dolf et Tal ; deux chats métamorphes qui sont ses partenaires destinés. Faire partie d'un trio félin est déjà suffisamment difficile à encaisser pour Kirk, mais il apprend rapidement qu'ils viennent d'un clan qui ne croit pas que les humains et les métamorphes devraient se mélanger. Kirk a conscience que ces deux chats sont sur le point de faire basculer sa vie. Cependant, il ne sait pas que les vraies difficultés se trouvent devant lui.</div>

<o:p></o:p><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ein Schneesturm im Süden – an Silvester – das kann nur in einer Katastrophe
enden. Nach zwei schweren Schicksalsschlägen wartet Kirk nun auf den dritten,
als plötzlich zwei Katzen in sein Leben platzen und Schutz vor der Kälte
suchen. Kirk nimmt die beiden auf, obwohl er es sich eigentlich nicht leisten
kann und die Katzen sich sehr auffällig verhalten. Dolf und Tal machen es sich
bei Kirk bequem. Als ihr Mensch beim Holzholen schwer stürzt und sich verletzt,
haben die beiden keine andere Wahl, sie müssen offenbaren, was sie sind.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Als Kirk aufwacht, muss er feststellen, dass er keine Katzen, sondern
Katzenwandler aufgenommen hat und nicht nur das, er ist ihr Gefährte. Eine
Dreierbeziehung, noch dazu mit zwei Katzenwandlern, ist schon schwierig genug,
aber bald muss sich Kirk auch noch mit feindseligen Rudelmitgliedern rumärgern,
die der Meinung sind, dass sich Wandler nicht mit Menschen einlassen sollten.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kirk hatte geahnt, dass die beiden Katzen, Dolf und Tal, Ärger bedeuten
würden, aber er hat keine Ahnung, was wirklich noch auf ihn zukommen sollte.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Fur, Fangs, and Felines: Book Two</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A cool morning, a yard full of birds, and a kitty on a mission. What more could
a werecat want? Beta Heller Wirth has it all, except a mate—a shifter mate,
that is. The last thing he wants is one of those dangerous humans who kill
without remorse. Heller knows about that firsthand. So what does the goddess
Bast do? She gives Heller exactly what he does not want—a human: business owner
Lawson Dupre. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lawson hasn’t a clue what just happened in his car detail shop. One minute a
cute client is about to pass out, and then he perks up and starts flirting.
Next thing, he runs out the door like the hounds of hell are after him.
Learning that Heller is a werecat doesn’t freak out Lawson. He happens to be
one of those rare humans who knows paranormals exists. He even lives with one.
Watch the fur fly as Heller and Lawson battle hurt feelings, misguided beliefs,
and a power shift in Heller’s clowder.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remi Ginn’s an
easygoing werecat with a love of snarky T-shirts who would be perfectly happy
with a human mate. Is that what the goddess Bast gives him? Of course not.
Instead she gifts him with Marshell, a Vetala: a snakelike nonshifter who
drinks blood to survive. A man who’s just as toppy as Remi—and even more
powerful than the West Falls Clowder’s Alpha and heir apparent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">While Remi decides
whether he can handle the fates’ choice, hunters attack Marshell. In an
explosion of passion, Remi and Marshell mate and Remi declares Marshell his.
Now they have to figure out how to make their relationship work as they dance
around each other. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">The clowder is in
turmoil, and Remi’s acceptance of Marshell rocks the very foundation of the
insular group. The consequences will be far-reaching. And if that isn’t problem
enough, the situation with the hunters is far from resolved… as the appearance
of an Alpha werewolf proves.<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
“So where are we going?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Place called Seafood Palace,” Lawson said. “Name might be a little cheesy, but
the food’s to die for.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were still on the back road that led to the main street when I noticed
lights coming up behind us—coming up fast. It could be a cop, except I didn’t
see any flashing lights. I didn’t like it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Lawson—”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Yeah, yeah, I see it. Man, they’re flying.” Lawson kept glancing in the
rearview mirror. “You buckled up?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Yes. You?” I checked just in case as I turned around to look out the back
window.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Always. Damn, Marshell, I don’t like this.” Lawson gripped the steering wheel.
“They’re still in my lane. Shit, they’re cutting it close.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I noticed Lawson moved his truck closer to the shoulder and slow down. I had a
bad, bad feeling about this. If this was that fucking werewolf, I was going to
rip his throat out if I got my hands on him. My heart rate spiked as I watched
the lights getting closer. They now were practically on top of us and didn’t
look like they were going around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Fucking hell, get ready, Lawson. They’re going to—” The headlights clipped us.
Metal screeched, and I grabbed the dash.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We lurched forward with a snap, and I damn near bit my tongue off. My neck
screamed, and the seatbelt tightened against me as we fishtailed. Fuck ripping
the were’s throat out. I was going to rip his head off. If Lawson got hurt,
Heller would likely rip my head off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Aw fuck!” Lawson fought the wheel, cussing a blue streak as his hands flew
over it. “Shit, shit, shit, they’re coming again, the fuckers. Brace yourself!”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Son of a bitch!” This was no kid who’d lost control or some drunk out riding
around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whoever was behind us had used the pit maneuver. Cops often used it to shut
down car chases. Had the were been a cop at some point? Maybe he still was?
Then I forgot everything as the other vehicle rammed us again. This time
Lawson’s truck spun completely around, and the smell of burning rubber hit me
like a ton of bricks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lights, trees, and smoke from the tires sped past us in a crazy twirling mass.
The truck slowed noticeably, then stopped. My gums tingled as my fangs dropped,
and my vision dramatically sharpened, which meant my eyes had changed to that
eerie blue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lawson’s fear soaked the truck, and that pumped my adrenaline even higher.
Whoever had scared Lawson so badly was going to die a slow death by my hand.
The other vehicle, nothing more than a flash of black, pulled in front of us,
blocking our way. I snarled at it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“You okay?” I yelled at Lawson, keeping an eye on the other vehicle. Lawson’s
truck lights shined on the Crown Victoria. Two shadowy figures moved in the cab
of the car. Two? That’s odd.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“I’m fine! Shit, Marshell. What are we going to do?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“You still carrying that knife?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Yes!”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Good. Get it. Now!” The attackers leaped from the vehicle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Had the werewolf brought backup? One figure was smaller than the other one, but
that didn’t mean much to a shifter. That attacker approached Lawson’s side of
the vehicle and struck the window with a baton.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A baton? Oh hell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Oh fuck,” Lawson yelled as glass shattered.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The window broke with one hit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Godda—” Lawson unbuckled his seatbelt, jerking away from the hands that came
at him through the broken window.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A purely human scent flooded Lawson’s truck cab.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Roaring in anger, I flung my door open and jumped out. This wasn’t the werewolf
who’d been stalking me. He wouldn’t be using a specially made baton with a cap
on the end to break windows. He’d just yank the door off the truck or put his
fist through it to get in.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Restoring lost and abandoned cemeteries is my profession, but I'm starting to believe that my true calling is deciphering the riddles of the dead. Legend has it that Kroll Cemetery is a puzzle no one has ever been able to solve. For over half a century, the answer has remained hidden within the strange headstone inscriptions and intricate engravings. Because uncovering the mystery of that tiny, remote graveyard may come at a terrible price.</span><br />

For whatever reason, I'm being summoned to that graveyard by both the living and the dead. Every lead I follow, every clue I unravel brings me closer to an unlikely killer and to a destiny that will threaten my sanity and a future with my love, John Devlin.</span><br />

<b><u>My Review:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been a HUGE fan of the Graveyard Queen series, so I
could not wait for The Visitor to be released! I’m so excited that I got an ARC
and dove right in and let me tell you, it was well worth the wait! In this book we learn that there is more to
Amelia than just being able to see and sense ghosts. She is still seeing the
sexy John Devlin, but their relationship has even more holes than a block of Swiss
cheese thanks to his reluctancy to share the details of his life with her. It
all puts Amelia on edge and that does not help when her home in broken in to
and she ends up in the hospital with a head injury. The injury leads to even
more paranormal activity and more questions than answers for Amelia. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is so much creepiness and suspense in this story that
kept me on the edge of my seat! Things in the wall, a doppelganger visiting her
from beyond, and learning more about her powers creates such an intriguing and
mysterious story. I LOVE IT! Of course, she has a new graveyard to work in and
that, also, opens up new channels for Amelia to explore and learn about her
past, her present, and her future. She and Devlin need to overcome their
tension and work together to fight the darkness that lingers around the grave
digger. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you haven’t read the rest of the series, I highly suggest
you do. Not because you will be lost, because you won’t. But, it is such a
wonderfully, chilling, suspenseful, creepy, fantasy riddled set of stories that
any fan of the genre is sure to love! This book did not disappoint me and I cannot
wait for the next installment of this amazing series! <o:p></o:p><br />

orphaned at the age of five was raised by her maternal grandmother. Two decades
pass when she is confronted with a letter from her father’s Denver based
attorney. She's shocked to learn that her dad lived through the car crash that
took her mother and brothers in 1985. </span><span style="font-family: "ms gothic"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">

<br />
Casey’s haunted nights begin with the death of her father. Who is the shadow
man in her dreams? Could it be her dad whom she had believed dead? She
discovers he had another family, and some dark secrets Casey sets out to solve
the mysteries of her abandonment, and find the answers to the nightshades that
threaten her sanity. <br />
<br />
Our heroine runs afoul of a previously unknown nemesis as she searches for
answers, but she also finds the love of her life. He too abandons her, as he
struggles with physical and mental wounds from multiple tours in the Middle
East. Can Casey forgive him as they confront a mutual enemy?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Rush hour in Denver was every bit as aggravating as rush
hour in Cleveland. It was a frustrating fact of life everywhere that people
needed to commute to a central work place. Traffic was at a standstill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She overheard Ken call ahead to apprise Mr. Jackson, “We’re
tied up in traffic, and will arrive later than anticipated.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It sounded as if he were talking to someone other than Bob.
Casey hoped the message would be relayed to him. As the thought flitted through
her mind she gazed out at the passing cars and trucks also crawling along.
Except for occasional glimpses of the majestic mountains, they could be stuck
in traffic anywhere. The interstates were all the same and fairly
uninteresting, especially within city limits. Casey found her mind wandering
back to dinner the previous evening and her very brief encounter with Captain JD
Gannon. She wondered where he was this morning. He’d been on his way to the
airport when he left them, but that was all she knew. Well… not quite all—she
knew that she could reach him through Bob Jackson, but she wasn’t sure she
liked the feeling that he knew more of what was going on than she did. She
couldn’t shake the idea that she should somehow remember him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Finally, they reached their destination. Her nerves were
already raw when she entered the elevator. As the doors began to close, a
teenage boy thrust his arm through the gap, and they sprang back open. Casey
watched him with a good deal of suspicion when he leaned against the frame of
the elevator opening to keep the doors from closing. He grinned at her as he
crossed his arms over his chest and turned his attention toward the lobby.
Three stunning women entered the elevator.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Great, she thought, I’m trapped in an alien transport on my
way to an alternate universe where all the women are tall, blonde, and have
baby blues. Or maybe, I’ve been cast in
one of those films marketed to little girls that star the Barbie icon and her
friends. The three were at least five foot ten, and—with the exception of the
variation in age—they could have been cast from the same mold. The trio was
regal, sophisticated, and aloof. Casey was sure the perfume they were wearing
was every bit as expensive as their outfits, but she was fighting nausea from
the scent within the close confines. The senior Barbie’s designer skirt hit
about mid-knee; her navy-colored suit and pale blue silk blouse looked high
end. The outfit probably cost more than Casey made in two weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Aesthetically, she found the elevator hijacker a relief and
a welcome contrast to the blondes with the heart-shaped faces and aristocratic
airs. Nearly as tall as the women, he appeared to be in his early teens, that
awkward, gangly, time of life. An engaging smile set off a mischievous twinkle
in his hazel eyes. Outrageously long lashes and eyebrows of a slightly darker
brown than his wavy hair enhanced those appealing eyes. His high cheekbones,
square jaw, and a patrician nose with a sprinkling of freckles already
commanded a second look. The freckles kept him from being a complete
heartbreaker. She felt sorry for the teenage girls in his path; they wouldn’t stand
a chance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><u>My Review:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lee has been plagued with nightmares since he lost his mate at a young age. Cooking soothes his soul, and as a sous chef he also does all of the family cooking for the Holidays. When he finds out that his sister has their grandmother’s recipe box, he asks for it to help prepare a traditional Christmas dinner. But, when he opens the box, a beautiful woman appears and needs his help preparing a perfect dinner in order to be released from the curse of a djinn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ruthie is upset to learn that her friend, Lee’s grandmother, passed away a few years ago. She won’t have her help preparing dinner and thinks that her hopes of being free are over. But, Lee helps her and even suggests that she change a few things in order to improve them. While they cook, Lee shows how much of a gentleman he is not and feeds his attraction to the beauty. There is a twist within this story that I won’t give away. But, I found the way it went to be sweet and touching. Even though Lee is not a gentleman, he is everything Ruthie needs and she is everything he has ever wanted. This is such a sweet, touching, fun story read during the holidays or not. </div>

<br />
In high school, Bianca Charleston was a nobody. An overweight wallflower, so invisible that Cole, the boy she had a crush on, never even knew she existed.<br />
<br />
Things have changed, and she’s finally ready to show off her new bombshell look. Sort of. Maybe. After a one-sided pep talk with her cat, she takes a deep breath and flies home to help out with the annual hospital carnival. Cole is there, too—and he still has no idea who she is.<br />
<br />
<br />
FBI field officer Cole Johnson doesn’t have an easy job, and his nights are usually booked solid. Then in walks Charlie, a blonde with killer…everything. Suddenly he’s mentally clearing his schedule for a rare night out. While Charlie doesn’t do one-night stands, somehow after-dinner dessert is served up against the wall of her hotel room. But happiness will have to navigate an emotional minefield of preconceived notions—and a couple of not-so-secret stumbling blocks.<br />
<br />
<b><u>EXCERPT: </u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
“You look beautiful. I’m glad you didn’t take my advice on casual. It’s…beautiful.” He shook his head after he stared at her for a few more seconds and then took a drink of what looked like water. They each had a glass in front of them.<br />
<br />
“Kia made me buy it.” She blurted it out and then reached for her wrapped silverware to have something to do with her hands. She unwrapped it, setting the silverware on the table and the napkin across her lap.<br />
<br />
“I’ll have to remember to thank her. I’ve never been that big a fan of the little black dress hoopla, but on you? Big fan.”<br />
<br />
His smile. It melted her. “Thanks,” she managed with a hesitant smile. Attention from a man with his sex appeal threw her off. What she really wanted to do was put her chin on her hand so she could stare at him for the rest of the evening.<br />
<br />
But she wouldn’t.<br />
<br />
Not at all.<br />
<br />
“So, how did the rest of the packet delivering go?”<br />
<br />
She took a drink of water since her mouth had gone dry with him this close. “Good actually. It’s been a while since I was here to help with any of this. Since high school really. It surprised me how many people are still around. How many people never left. Or left and came back. Can’t believe it’s almost been ten years. Seems a lifetime ago.”<br />
<br />
“And you’re sure we met in high school? You’re sure of it?”<br />
<br />
Wanting to giggle and groan at the same time was a new one for her. “Only a few hundred times.”<br />
<br />
“It just doesn’t seem possible. Surely I’d remember you.” He gave her a once over from head to waist. Everything he could see above the table probably.<br />
<br />
Shaking her head seemed like the thing to do. “I was very different in high school. Popularity was the name of a very distant planet when I was a teenager.”<br />
<br />
“Can’t imagine you being that different. Truly. Care to give me your name and I can look you up? High school yearbooks and all should be good for something other than killing spiders.”<br />
<br />
“Nope.”<br />
<br />
He chuckled and picked up his menu. “You do know what I do for a living, right? I could run your plates and figure it out within five minutes. I could show you my ID if that would help.”<br />
<br />
“You wouldn’t.”<br />
<br />
<br />
“Ha. If you could see your face right now.” He chuckled and she tried to wipe the panic off her face and probably didn’t do a very good job. “I won’t. I’d much rather figure it out on my own. I love solving puzzles.”<br />

Agreeing to live with a man you’ve never met and be nanny to his three children is a little dangerous and a lot of crazy. In other words? Just what she needs. A wild child at heart, Willow leaves life as she knows it behind without a backwards glance. But when she arrives at the rundown trailer deep in backwoods territory and meets the rough, practically mute mountain man who seems immune to her flirtatious charm, she begins to doubt her decision and her sanity.<br /><br />THIS BOOK WAS PREVIOUSLY TITLED BONED ON BLUECREEK.<br /><br />This is the second novella in a planned series. It is NOT a full-length book.<br /><br />(Disclaimer: this novella is for adults only. It contains explicit sex, rough sex, sex with strangers, and sexual situations some might find offensive including dubious consent.)</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> </span></div>

While the first book in this series is pure sex, Willow is
more than that. Willow is a friend of Clover’s and agrees to become the nanny
for a widower and his three kids. The pay isn’t much, but Willow is bored on
the hippy commune and needs a change. One of those changes is a new
man/conquest. Willow loves sex and no man can resist her charms. She gets to
the trailer and meets Teddy – a loner who shut down after his wife’s death. She
puts the moves on him and even though he notices her, he resists and turns her
away. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Willow has her work cut out for her, both with the kids,
cleaning the trailer, and Teddy still resists her advances. Until he becomes
jealous while they are all at Clover’s for a campout with the kids. Teddy walks
in on Jim and Willow about to have sex and demands she go home…with him. On the
way home, something happens to change the dynamic of their relationship.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have to say that I enjoyed this story so much more than
Clover. While it is erotica, there is more to the story than just sex. The
steamy parts are just that, the funny parts made me laugh out loud, and the
angst was well written. Overall, this is a good, short, steamy, sexy, story. <o:p></o:p></div>

Take a HOT fireman and an independent woman who doesn’t have
time for dating games and you have Chase and Denise from Bravest Flame. Denise
and Chase are pushed together in a whirlwind of chaos and danger! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Denise has a life full of work, writing novels, friends, and
that’s about all she wants. Chase convinces her to go on a date with him, even
though she is reluctant, and what happens on that date is the start of the
chaos of being possessed. What she thought was a fantasy world, turns into real
life vampires, werewolves, and a slew of other paranormal creatures she could
only imagine! While an easy read, the story gripped me and kept me
engaged. Yes, some of the actions are a
little over the top, but that’s the beauty of this series. So much happens that
moves the story along and create the suspenseful part of the story to push the
main characters together. And, together they are in a HOT and passionate way!

I love Denise and her no nonsense attitude. She is the kind
of heroine that I adore in a story. What’s not to like about the sexy, fireman,
Chase? He adores Denise and has a protective side when it comes to her. The
paranormal characters are fun, witty, and at times, scary (the sheldvaks give
me the creeps). The twists and turns kept me engaged. Overall, it’s such a fun
way to move this series along!<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13.8px; line-height: 15.456px;">On a mission to bring the love of literacy to impoverished rural children, Clover Willoughby finds herself stranded on a dry, dusty West Virginia back road. Out of gas, out of service, and out of patience, she starts walking. When she stumbles across a quaint cabin in the woods, she's relieved at her good fortune. Her relief turns to trepidation—and anticipation—when the rough, crude mountain man living there offers to assist her . . . for a price. And he's not interested in money.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Penetrated on Ponetown is Erotica, plain and simple. While
not for everyone, the way this book was written was well done and well thought
out. Clover’s car breaks down in the middle of nowhere while she is trying to
get to a rural family to teach their kids to read. After walking for a few
miles, she sees a rustic cabin and the older man that lives in it – Jim. Jim
offers to help her with her car IF she helps him and his son, sexually. The
son, Eustace, has never been with a woman and Jim wants to teach him how to do
just that. Coming from a commune, she is comfortable with sex and nudity, so
nothing is really taboo to her. Clover agrees to stay for a week and
immediately becomes what the men need – a warm female body for Jim and a
teacher to Eustace. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While this kind of taboo isn’t really my thing, I know a lot
of people do enjoy this dynamic. The writing is well done and the story is well
thought out. Clover and Eustace’s connection was easy to imagine because his
character was sweet, caring, and sensitive. Jim is more of a man’s man, but the
thought of a father and son sharing a woman creeped me out. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall, if you share the fantasy portrayed in this story,
then you’ll enjoy this story. While I didn’t, that is subjective and doesn’t
take away from how well done the story really is. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: normal;">
<span style="font-family: PTSans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.08px;">Guarding Her Secret, by Candice Gilmer, is one of the short stories in the Taming the Monster Anthology. It is the only one that I have read, so far, but just this one story is worth the price tag! Featuring Reese from Ms. Gilmer’s Saving Her Destiny, this fairy is called upon to protect and talk to his ex-girlfriend, Viola. Viola lives in the Highlands and runs a bar, talking and mingling with the locals and visitors there to see if the lore of the town is true. What is the lore? The Loch and the Loch Ness Monster. Viola keeps tabs on the stories and sightings to make sure the tourism stays and the creature isn’t seen too often or too well. Why does she care? Because Viola IS the Loch Ness Monster! She was cursed by a witch many years ago because as a mermaid she had to stay in salt water and could not enter bodies of fresh water. Now she has to enter the Loch every three days before she transforms or she will become the monster forever. </span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: normal;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: normal;">
<span style="font-family: PTSans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.08px;">Also in the area is a famous TV host of Exploration TV, Jordan Doors, who investigates folk lore and proves them wrong. Only, this time his team actually sees the Loch Ness Monster with a fairy on its back and then leaks the footage to the public. Reece and the Templar have to fix this mess and make sure the humans do not discover the truth to the myth of the creature. But, while there he falls back in love with Viola and doesn’t remember why he abandoned her in the first place.</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: normal;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: normal;">
<span style="font-family: PTSans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.08px;">Having read and LOVED previous books featuring the residents of Avalon, I had high hopes for this story. What I got was not only everything I hoped for, but a lot more! Not only did the details bring the story to life, but they created such a vivid imagery that made me want to get to know the cast of characters on a more personal level as friends! This author breaths so much life into her work that I never want the story to end and want more and more and more. Candice Gilmer has fast become one of my go-to authors because whatever she writes I love. </span></span></div>

<b><u>My Review: </u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.456px;">Dark Within is Book One is the Mythical Knights Series, but a continuation about the Drigan Brothers from The Brightest Shadow (book # 0.5). Neil is the focus in this story and as a playboy he doesn’t have any interest in finding a mate and settling down. That is, until he dreams of saving a woman that smells of flowers and death. He insists on finding this woman and discovers it is Marissa – a friend of his brother’s mate. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.456px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.456px;">Marissa has been plagued with sadness. Halloween used to be her favorite holiday, but then her parents were killed one Halloween and now it is a terrible time of year full of sadness. She has been having horrible nightmares and is covered in unexplainable bruises. But, Neil is the one thing that makes her smile – even though she can’t figure him out most of the time. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.456px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.456px;">I absolutely love this series and the Drigan brothers. They are so strong, and sexy, and protective of those they care about. Neil tries so hard to do the right thing and be the good guy, something ingrained in his family. This trait just makes me love these guys that much more…swoon…and Neil, especially. He can’t tell Marissa what he is, but he has a duty to protect her from her attackers. What woman wouldn’t want a guy that feels that way? Marissa is too hurt and traumatized to realize how good Neil is for her, so she pushes him away. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.456px;">I was excited to see David and Kelsey in this book, again. I love how protective David is of his mate’s friend. Kelsey and Marissa are as close as sisters, so the bond between all of them melts my heart. The way the pair tried to coax Neil and Kelsey together was entertaining on it’s own. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.456px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.456px;">I really, really, enjoy this series and this book. I can’t wait for more of the Drigan clan from the author. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.456px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.456px;">*I received a complimentary copy of this book for review. </span></span><br />

<b><u>About the Book: </u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Best Female Country Artist. Sold out world-wide tour. Record-setting album sales. It’s been a stellar year for Skye Taylor and it’s left her exhausted. All she wants to do is go home to Oklahoma, curl up in her little house, and veg out in pj’s with a pile of junk food. But when her tour bus crashes in the middle of West Texas, her priorities suddenly shift. Now she’s sitting bedside hoping her best friend and bodyguard, KC, survives. For Scott Martin, he simply wants this horrible year to end. After the murder of his brother, his family is falling apart. With one crisis after another pulling him back to the family ranch, he’s put way too many late night miles on his truck between his family home and Lubbock, where he works as a paramedic. When he comes upon the wrecked tour bus, he has no idea this is one emergency which will change his life forever. Skye and Scott quickly form a friendship which hints at possibilities of more. But as these two dodge paparazzi, over-zealous label executives, and stalker fans, they soon discover that everything is easier when you have someone you trust RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE. And that becomes even more important when they discover the bus wreck wasn’t an accident…</div>

<b><u>My Review:</u></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ever since Christi Snow’s When the Mission Ends series, I have been patiently waiting for the Martin men series to come out and I have to say – it was worth the wait!! Scott Martin is an EMT and one of the older brothers of the clan. He feels guilty for leaving his father and youngest brother’s care to his oldest brother, Andrew. But, his busy job and schedule have kept him away from the family ranch. While traveling to the ranch to check on his ailing father, Scott comes across a horrific bus crash scene. The bus is in pieces and the two survivors need his help. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Skye Taylor is the nation’s bestselling country artist, so things have been going really well for her and her best friend, KC. But, her life is shattered and changed forever when her tour bus crashes with her, her driver, and KC in it. Skye was belted into her seat, but KC was in the rear bed and was thrown around. Trapped underneath the burning back of the bus, she is relieved when an off duty EMT stops to help. Scott gets KC out from danger and eventually convinces Skye to go to the hospital to be checked out and he’ll check in on her the next day. He follows through and gets pulled into the dangerous world of Skye Taylor while helping her to recover and stay safe. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What can I saw about Scott Martin? He is sexy, sweet, helpful, and full of so much guilt for not being there for his family as much as he could have. His father is ill, his youngest brother is mixed up with drugs, and his oldest brother is a zombie for taking on all the responsibility on his own. Add in the death of their other brother, Thomas and there is a whole lot of heartache in this man’s world. But, he sees Skye and there is an instant attraction between them that he never thought he would feel with anyone else. Skye is sweet, but troubled. Everyone she has ever loved has left her, so she guards her heart with an iron fist. KC is her only constant in her life, so she is devastated when he is hurt so badly in the bus crash and has long road of recovery ahead of him. Facing danger, she allows Scott, the detectives, and the security firm to protect her. She feels the intense attraction to Scott, too, but if afraid of committing because everyone she loves goes away. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I really enjoyed the pairing of these two. Scott is all alpha male, but with a sweet and caring side. He just wants to protect Skye and keep her safe. Skye allows him to do so, but she is also independent and used to doing things on her own. Together, they complement each other so well! I really adored this story and the suspense, love, lust, and twists and turns throughout it. The best part? Brian makes an appearance!!! That make this Brian fan so happy!! Thank you, Christi! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall, this is one amazing book to being this series of hunky alpha male stories. I can’t wait to see which Martin man is next and read about his adventure. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Mythical Knights, book #0.5 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Losing a father is always hard, losing a father who’s a pillar of the community is harder. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Losing a father who’s the alpha of your werewolf pack is harder still, yet that’s exactly where David Drigan finds himself--lost and rudderless after the death of his father. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nonetheless, the final transformation to turn David into the leader has yet to come to him, leaving him and his family wondering, will he ever be strong enough to lead his pack? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trying to step into his place in society, David meets Kelsey. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blonde. Curvy. Attitude. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a little dark. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There’s just something about her that makes David’s beastly desires surface unlike ever before. The need to take her and protect her, if only from herself, overwhelms him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not that Kelsey would let him. She doesn’t need anyone to take care of her. Never has. An absentee family taught her one thing--take care of yourself, because no one’s going to do it for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But this David guy? There’s just something different about him. At first, she thought it was because his family actually likes each other--a foreign concept for sure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One night at her favorite decrepit amusement park, she learns there’s a lot more to David than she ever expected. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There’s a lot hidden in the shadows. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can they find the light, lost in the dark? </div>
<br />
<b><u>My Review: </u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Wow! This was a fantastic beginning to Candice Gilmer’s
Mythical Knights Series! Kelsey has been on her own since she was young. She
watched her mother depend on man after man and owe them for their help. She vowed
to not be that kind of woman, so she tolerates her boss and his bad attitude
because she doesn’t want to depend on anyone but herself for income. After
organizing a company event for her bosses, Kelsey quickly gets dressed in one
of the upper offices before going down to make sure things are running
smoothly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
David’s father just passed away and now the title of Alpha
falls to him. Unfortunately, the Alpha
has not come to him, yet, and so he and his family have been waiting to see if
it would or if it skipped over him. Meanwhile, he and his family were being
honored at a corporate event and he goes into an office to escape and find some
quiet. He walks in on Kelsey changing and instantly feels a spark when he helps
her zip up her dress. From that moment on, the two of them get together, again,
when David goes to her office to sign some paperwork. Her boss sees David there
and instantly goes off on Kelsey, blaming her for ruining the deal and having
access to confidential information. David lets her boss have it, and Kelsey
quits her job, not knowing where her next paycheck will come from or how she is
going to survive on her own. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Kelsey takes David on a date to an abandoned amusement park,
but they are ambushed and have to run and hide to save their lives. David
reveals his secret to her and she takes it much better than he thought she
would. Unfortunately, they have to escape through some air vents, but manage to
get a message to David’s brother asking for help before they are killed. Kelsey becomes enveloped in David’s world and
must make an important decision that impacts both of their lives forever. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Brightest Shadow is easily one of my favorite stories of
2015! The author’s world building and storytelling abilities are phenomenal! Candice Gilmer is becoming one of my favorite
authors with her writing style and ability to tell an interesting and unique paranormal
story while keeping the reader engaged and entertained. There was not a moment
where I felt like I had to put the book down because I needed a break. I could
not get enough of this story and these characters!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I can’t wait to read more of this series! I HIGHLY recommend
it to anyone that enjoys a good paranormal story!<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Exposed releases on May 5th and is the 3rd book in the Ethan Frost Series. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif;">Ethan Frost, the irresistible leading
man from the New York Times bestsellers Ruined and Addicted, returns once again
in Exposed—a novel that’s perfect for fans of J. Kenner and Sylvia Day.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; text-align: center;">
Will Ethan Frost go too far for the woman he loves?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">The moment Chloe Girard walked into my life, she exposed secrets and emotions I
always thought were best kept buried.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">She wants to move on, to ignore the past. But I can’t do that. Not when she
still suffers. And not when the man who hurt her remains unscathed. So when I
discover the perfect opportunity to make him pay for what he did to Chloe, I
can’t walk away, no matter the consequences.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">But there’s a fine line between justice and obsession. As I turn up old crimes
and new lies, I know that I’m playing with fire—and risking the very
foundations of our relationship.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; text-align: center;">
My love for Chloe is absolute. I just hope it’s enough to save us both.</div>

<div class="sp">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Is
it safe?” Tori asks an hour later, stumbling into the kitchen where I’m sitting
at the table, sipping coffee and daydreaming of Ethan. “Does everybody have
clothes on?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Book Antiqua, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; text-align: center;">
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“I’m
the only one here,” I tell her. “And yes, I am wearing pajama pants and a
sweatshirt.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Thank
Christ.” She makes a beeline for the coffeepot and pours herself a large mug. I
watch in amusement as she adds enough sugar to bankrupt a candy factory, then
follows it with a quarter cup of cream before lifting the mug to her lips and
downing half its contents in one gulp.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“How
are you not three hundred pounds?” I ask in disbelief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Good
genes and clean living.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Well,
I won’t argue the good genes part, anyway.” The wineglass on the counter still
holds the dregs of the two bottles of wine she drank last night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“You
should,” she replies with a snort.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">I
want to ask her what she means—it’s not the first time she’s made a derogatory
comment about her family—but she’s got off-limits signs posted all over her
when it comes to them. So I settle for bumping shoulders with her as I refill
my own coffee cup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">She
returns the bump, then smiles sweetly at me. With that smile, her short green
hair sticking up in every direction and the remnants of last night’s mascara
pooled under her eyes, she looks like a little kid playing dress-up. Dress-up
in a punk rocker’s closet, mind you, but still dress up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">At
least until the smile fades and she pins me with a look meant to bring better
women than me to their knees. “Details. Now.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Ethan
and I made up.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Believe
me, I know. My room’s next to yours and the walls aren’t nearly as thick as you
think they are.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Oh,
God.” Embarrassed heat rushes to my cheeks. “I’m sorry.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Don’t
be.” She waves airily. “Since I wasn’t getting any action last night, it’s good
that someone was.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">I
laugh despite myself. “Nice, Tori.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Hey,
if you wanted nice, you probably should have picked someone else as your best
friend.” She grabs a box of donuts off the counter and plops them in the middle
of the kitchen table before settling into the chair opposite mine. “Just
saying.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Yeah,
well, it’s too late to worry about that now.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Damn
straight.” She grabs a donut, then shoves the box toward me. “So what happened
after I left yesterday? You need to give me the scoop before loverboy gets
back.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“We
made up.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Obviously,
you made up. Didn’t we just talk about all the reasons I couldn’t sleep last
night?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Well
then, what do you want me to say?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“I
want details. Did he grovel—I mean, with something besides that bracelet you’re
wearing. Because even I have to admit that is some serious groveling in and of
itself.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">I
glance down at the heavy bracelet Ethan had delivered to me yesterday. The one
he fastened around my wrist when I told him that I loved him. That I’d marry
him. It’s as much a sign of his possession as the belly chain I wear around my
waist—another gift from him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Don’t
tell me how much it costs. I don’t want to know.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“I
wouldn’t dream of it, darling,” she drawls in her best Sophia Loren voice. “I
still remember your freak-out over the belly chain.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">When
I don’t say anything else, she finishes off her donut in silence, all the while
watching me with dark eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“You
look happy,” she finally says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“I
am happy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“That’s
all that matters, then.” She drains her coffee, then pushes back from the
table. “I’m going to take a shower, then head to the beach. Want to join me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“I
can’t.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">She
rolls her eyes. “Let me guess. Loverboy talked you into going back to work at
Frost Industries?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“I
haven’t decided on that yet.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Then
what’s going on? Is he coming back to sweep you off to some romantic getaway?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“We’re
going to Vegas.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Vegas?
Really? I had him pegged for a private-island-off-the-coast-of-Greece kind of
guy. I have to admit, I’m a little—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“We’re
getting married.” I say it fast, hoping it will have less of an impact that
way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">No
such luck. Tori stops in her tracks, eyes wide and mouth gaping like a fish as
she tries to wrap her brain around what I just said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“What?”
she finally squeals before launching herself at me. “He asked you to marry him?
When? Where?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Today.
And I already told you. Las Vegas.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">She’s
back to staring at me like I have three heads. “I meant when did he ask you.
But what you’re telling me is that you’re flying to Las Vegas<span class="i"><span style="border: none;"><span style="border: none;"> today</span></span></span>? To
get married<span class="i"><span style="border: none;"><span style="border: none;">
today</span></span></span>?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“That
is what I’m telling you.” I start gingerly trying to untangle myself from her
embrace. It isn’t as easy as it sounds, especially when she’s hanging on for
dear life and doing her best impression of an octopus with its prey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Oh
my God. Oh. My. God. Ohmygod! You’re getting married. Today! To Ethan fucking
Frost!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif;">Tracy Wolff collects books, English
degrees and lipsticks and has been known to forget where—and sometimes who—she
is when immersed in a great novel. At six she wrote her first short
story—something with a rainbow and a prince—and at seven she forayed into the
wonderful world of girls lit with her first Judy Blume novel. By ten she’d read
everything in the young adult and classics sections of her local bookstore, so
in desperation her mom started her on romance novels. And from the first page
of the first book, Tracy knew she’d found her life-long love. Now an English
professor at her local community college, she writes romances that run the
gamut from contemporary to paranormal to erotic suspense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><u>My Review: </u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Book 3 in the Ethan Frost Series, this picks up where the previous one left off. We get to see Ethan and Chloe as the prepare for their Vegas wedding. Ethan wants his brother to pay for what he did to Chloe years ago, and his need for payback hurts his relationship with Chloe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love Ethan. He is strong, sexy, rich, and an all around great guy. His relationship with Chloe is so HOT! I really love these two together. They had some ups and downs in this book, but the result is so worth it! I can't wait for the next book in this series!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He has a dead body. She has the seedy connections. To solve the crime they are forced to work together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To keep her mother’s reputation from destroying her, Ashley Dix Gibson had to learn at an early age to persevere and tune out the lies, gossip, and the bullies. Detective Michael DeMarco has no desire to team up with a woman with ties to the underbelly of the porn industry but if he wants to solve his case, he has no other options. When Ashley and DeMarco combine their resources to find a brutal killer, sparks of distrust turn into the fires of passion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><u>Blurb:</u></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I must have been feeling weak, because instead of rushing out to confront a few of those I wanted to talk to, I invited DeMarco in. He’d left Braden in charge of the scene and didn’t appear to be in a rush to start the reports he’d have to do. That thought made me smile. For once I wasn’t chained to a desk for seventy-five percent of the investigation. I could get used to being out of the Army and doing things my own way.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Glad to see the smile. I know this has been extremely hard on you,” DeMarco said. “Want to share?”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I was thinking about Jillie, wanting me to come home. She kept trying to talk me into the leaving the military. It took her death to accomplish that.” Hot, wet tears started streaming down my face. Appalled, I turned away from DeMarco and stumbled toward the bedroom. He didn’t say anything or try to stop me, but he did follow me. When I didn’t collapse on the bed, he put his arms around me, gave a gently hug and helped me to sit on the mattress.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Damn. This was awkward. The harder I tried to stop crying, the more I leaked tears. I don’t cry. I don’t show emotion, especially to guys. I didn’t want to feel the warmth of his touch and long to put my head on his shoulder. But I did. Before I knew what was happening his lips were on mine and I was holding him. Desperate to keep from drowning.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He pushed back, looking into my eyes. Reading me like the clichéd open book. </div>

Here is an excerpt from my favorite from them all:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Sexting Texas</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
“Got ‘em.” Jangling her keys at him to show her success, Texas pulled open the screen door. It took her a moment to get the key in the lock, but she managed and the tumblers clicked. She turned to thank him. “Goodni—”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He stood close, too close, his big frame crowding her space. She glanced up at his face, but it was too dark to make out his expression. The hand at her waist pushed her against the door. His head lowered. Warm breath teased her lips, and the slight scent of beer tickled her nose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
“Will?” She barely got the question out before his lips brushed hers softly, lightly. Her tummy took a little tumble. Then his mouth opened over hers, his tongue moving in slow to skim hers, and the little tumble turned into a high-rise free fall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A low groan rumbled in his throat. His other hand palmed the back of her head as his hips ground into hers. She arched against him, aching for the hand on her ribs to venture farther up, aching for his muscular thigh to slide between her legs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His tongue eased from her mouth, and his lips were gone, along with the weight of his body. The last to leave were his hands as he stepped back and adjusted the hat cocked to one side of his head. He cleared his throat. “Sorry.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She wasn’t. Like the kiss they’d shared fourteen years ago, this one was a total surprise. And like that kiss, it rocked her world. She hadn’t even thought about stopping him, not for a second. Wished he’d do it again. “Too much alcohol.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
“Yeah, and talk of sex.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
“Huh? Oh, yeah.” Definitely.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He backed up to the edge of the porch. “See you Monday night.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
“Monday?” God, she sounded like a moron. What was it they said about alcohol and brain cells?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
“Town meeting, remember?”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Texas groaned. Maybe she’d get drunk again Monday night so she’d have an excuse not to go. “I hate those things.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
“Me, too.” Will pivoted on the ball of one boot and took the steps two at a time. “Night.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
“Night.” Texas watched him for a second, that sauntering walk unmistakable, then sighed and let herself in the house. She shut the door, leaned against it, and traced her lips with fingers that shook. No doubt about it, William Charles Sanderson had kissed her for the second time in her life. And once again he’d apologized.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;">This is a fantastic collection of stories from a group of very talented authors. I read them all, and while they were ALL amazing, one really stood out to me: Sexting Texas.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;">Will and Texas are friends. Very good friends. But, Will has been in love with Texas and isn't sure what to do about it. She has been getting sexy texts from a wrong number and it really turns her on!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Country music star Jessie Grant has it all. An amazing voice, a string of multi-platinum albums, and a sold-out concert tour. But just before her Hearts on Fire tour rolls into Las Vegas, her lead guitarist is badly injured and is unable to play. Desperate to find a replacement before the night of a televised live show, Jessie is forced to accept help from the last person on earth she wants to see again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Drew Carmichael has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the best up-and-coming musicians in Nashville, without cashing in on his renowned father’s name. When Jessie’s manager calls and asks him to fill in for her band’s injured guitar player, he agrees to help Jessie out even though she cut him out of her life four months ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Sin City, sparks fly between Jessie and Drew, and it isn't long before they give in to their mutual attraction. But when the dark past Jessie has successfully hidden for ten years explodes in the media, their tenuous bond is put to the test, and both Jessie and Drew must learn to trust each other if they don’t want their new found romantic relationship to go up in flames.</div>

<b><u>Excerpt:</u></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As if sensing she was being watched, she turned and their gazes collided across the stage. Her smile faltered as the seconds ticked by. She remained rooted to the spot, so he moved forward. One of them had to make the first move; it looked like it would be him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Hey,” he said as he halted in front of her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She thanked the roadie, who smiled and left them to attend to Tara and Renee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Hello,” she replied, her tone formal and her eyes guarded. “Thank you for agreeing to help us out.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“You’re welcome.” He rested his arm along the top of his favorite guitar, a Fender Strat that he’d bought when he was sixteen, after years of saving his allowance and hoarding the money he’d earned doing odd jobs around town. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although his father had made good money and left them fairly well-off after he died, his mom always believed that he should learn the value of money. It was a lesson he’d learned well, and to this day, he hadn’t touched one dollar of the money his father had left him. He wanted to make something of himself on his own terms, not because he had connections or an inheritance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Wally gave me the set list yesterday. It looks like it’s pretty much the same as before,” he said, after an uncomfortable silence.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“For the most part.” Jessie tucked a strand of dark hair behind her ear. “The only difference is, I’ve changed up the order so that some of my older stuff is sprinkled throughout the set. Works better that way.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He nodded. “So what the hell happened to Kenny? Wally said he broke his arm?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jessie rolled her eyes. “The damn fool decided to take a swan dive off the stage, and because he’d had a couple of fireballs before the show, he miscalculated how close the audience was to the stage and fell smack dab onto the concrete floor.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Drew gasped, equally shocked and amused at the picture she’d painted. “Jesus. Are you serious?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her lips curved upwards with a ghost of a smile. It was something, even if it wasn’t the usual mega-watt smile she gave him when they used to hang out together. “It’s true. I couldn’t make something like that up. Broke his arm in two places.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Ouch.” He winced, thinking of the pain Kenny must have been in. “So he’ll be laid up for a while?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Looks like it,” she said. Then, without warning, her tone turned frosty again, and the laughter vanished from her eyes. “Well, we should get started. Do you feel comfortable with all the songs?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Yeah. I could do them in my sleep,” he said, then frowned. “Did that sound cocky?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“No. Just confident.” Her unreadable eyes roamed over his face. “Wally wants us to do a duet.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“I know.” </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He’d taken a look at the sheet music and recognized the song immediately. Anybody who’d ever attended a wedding in the last twenty years would probably be aware of the hit ballad that was popular in the early ‘80s. It was a nice song, and one that would suit his and Jessie’s harmonies to a tee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“I’m not sold on the idea, but he seems to think it’ll be good for the CMT taping.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Whatever you decide is fine with me.” He brushed his hair back from his eyes and held her gaze. “I miss talking to you, Jessie,” he said, unable to stop himself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her eyes flickered with some unknown emotion, which vanished as quickly as it came.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“We should get to work. Time’s a wastin’.” And with that, she turned her back on him, moved to the center mic near the front of the stage and never looked back. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">What a sweet, fun, and heart warming story! Jessie Grant is an independent country super star who doesn't fall in love easily. Until Drew. Ready to tell him her feelings, she comes face to face with him and his ex - wearing only a towel- and leaves her heart, and her pride, protected.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Jessie's back story is so heart breaking without making her sound like a weak little girl. I love how independent and head strong she is, while being vulnerable and wanting to be loved. Drew really likes Jessie, but doesn't want her to feel like he is using her to advance his singing career. When Jessie's guitar player breaks his arm, Drew comes to the rescue to save the band, and the tour. With a big performance looming in Vegas, someone leaks Jessie's past to the press in hopes that it trashes her reputation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Drew is so sweet to Jessie, but she has such a hard time trusting anyone. Even when it is someone that she loves. When she has to tell Drew the truth, she holds back because she doesn't want him to go running. While the angst might seem silly, it's the perfect catalyst to teach them both to trust and love each other. My favorite part of the entire story was the final chapter when they do the duet for the live Vegas broadcast. **SWOON** </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I have never read anything by Alison Packard before, but you can bet I'll be on the lookout for more from her! I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes a feel good story with a happy ending. </span></div>

forever silenced just like their fallen brothers.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Steele,
the man he was, died. A civilian with a new name stands in his place in the
wake of death. Everything he had, lost when his undercover contact, Venus,
disappeared when it counted most. In the shadow of regret, Steele is reborn
from the flames of a Phoenix. To right the wrongs that destroyed his military
family, he must put his trust in the hands of a mysterious backer, and the
woman who led his team to the slaughter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

final nail in her coffin or set her heart free.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">When
Sterling spots a reporter masquerading as a waitress in a dingy bar in Deep
Ellum, he suspects she’s investigating the team. And that’s something he just
cannot allow to happen. Too many lives are at stake. He will do everything in
his power to learn the truth—even seduce her. And to stop her story from coming
out? He might even tie her to the bed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

nightmares from Operation Phoenix. But
when Rose is forced to go on the run with Platinum’s hidden son, he will have
no choice but to return to his old life and reclaim what he has ached for every
day since. Red Wolf’s sniper wants to nudge Plat’s underbelly and they’re going
to find out quickly how deadly he can be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

taken away. But as Elijah, he could start over, maybe even fall in love with
his hidden son's Kindergarten teacher, Rose. But Platinum is reborn when Elijah
is kidnapped, so he's left with no choice but to vanish, leaving Rose to wonder
about his fate, broken-hearted. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

rational part of his mind stood aside, appalled. He’d been brought up to respect
women. To take her out on a date, wine her, get to know her and then maybe
pursue some heavy petting. Three dates, according to his father. No less than
three before he touched anything under a woman’s clothes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

had the distinct impression she took his full measure, weighing him against
some impossible scale. Stroking her nails from his chest to his navel, she
whispered. “Considering your offer.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

confining the mass into a ponytail and tugged it free. Flicking the band across
the room, he stroked through the wild profusion of curls and waves. He’d
thought it red in Nigeria, and it had been sleeker in Miami, but it poured over
his hands like wild coppery fire. “What’s your name, beautiful?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

interrogator path, their very promising encounter would not end well. Catching
the hem of her sweater, he gave a tug and she lifted her arms obediently. He
dragged the sweater up, then used it to pin her arms, effectively locking them
behind her. “I want it to be your name.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Well, hello kitten… Teeth and claws. God, he had a hard-on for her that
wouldn’t quit. Taking his life in his hands, he slanted his mouth over hers and
took the next kiss. She opened to him, allowing the thrust of his tongue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She tasted sweeter than the vanilla of her scent—decadent,
rich and altogether hedonistic. Another nip, then she sucked on his tongue and
he damn near came in his pants. One moment he had control, the next she had him
slammed against the door, face first, with her forearm against the back of his
neck. He’d never been into being thrown around by a woman, but when she proved
herself more than capable, it simply turned him on more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The soft sound of her chuckle teased his ear, then she
nibbled a kiss against his earlobe. With a breathy murmur, she said, “Games are
fun, Professor, but you want to touch, yes?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">No need to lie. “Hell yes.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“So do I.” As if to prove her point, she slid her hands down
his front to stroke his cock through his slacks. He hardened obligingly. At
this rate, he wouldn’t have any blood left to get oxygen to his brain and he
didn’t think it was a bad thing. Her breasts rubbed against his back, the twin
hardened points of her nipples a provocative invitation. “Don’t try to bind me
again, and I won’t break you in two, sound good?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">More than good, but he still wanted. “What’s your name?” He
found the lock on the door and turned it. The rear entrance was only accessible
by key, and no other classes were scheduled for a couple of hours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Pushy.” Not a complaint based on the way her hand fisted
him, the hard strokes definitely a threat to whether he’d get to sink into her
before he came. Catching her hand with his, he twisted around and traded
places. He wanted to see her breasts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“A name for a kiss?” he challenged. “Or a caress?” Then in a
repeat of her earlier move, he covered her breast and massaged it through the
bra. Her peaked nipple responded beautifully to his touch. The black bra was
utterly functional and completely lacking in lace. It also covered her breast,
hiding it from view. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Unhooking a woman’s bra was a skill he’d mastered in high
school. Who knew how much of a Godsend it would be at this moment? She shed the
bra and stood glorious, and…scarred. A cluster of three puckered marks formed a
near perfect triangle over her right breast. Tracing the marks, he followed a
fainter mark tucked along the curve of her breast—knife injury. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Even as he catalogued the injuries, he explored the expanse
of soft flesh. Cupping her breast, he rolled his thumb back and forth over the
hardened tip of her nipple. Her breathing grew shallower and, dragging his gaze
up, he zeroed in on her damp mouth before meeting her gaze. Her shudder seemed
to ripple over his spine and, when she went for his belt, he didn’t argue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<blockquote>
Country music star Jessie Grant has it all. An amazing voice, a string of multi-platinum albums, and a sold-out concert tour. But just before her Hearts on Fire tour rolls into Las Vegas, her lead guitarist is badly injured and is unable to play. Desperate to find a replacement before the night of a televised live show, Jessie is forced to accept help from the last person on earth she wants to see again.<br />
<br />
Drew Carmichael has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the best up-and-coming musicians in Nashville, without cashing in on his renowned father’s name. When Jessie’s manager calls and asks him to fill in for her band’s injured guitar player, he agrees to help Jessie out even though she cut him out of her life four months ago.<br />
<br />
In Sin City, sparks fly between Jessie and Drew, and it isn’t long before they give in to their mutual attraction. But when the dark past Jessie has successfully hidden for ten years explodes in the media, their tenuous bond is put to the test, and both Jessie and Drew must learn to trust each other if they don’t want their newfound romantic relationship to go up in flames.</blockquote>
<br />
Enjoy an excerpt:<br />
<br />
Jessie Grant stared at the cheery yellow wall in her dressing room, and fought the overwhelming urge to throw something. Anything. Her agitated gaze fell on the lovely vase of flowers that had been delivered just before the show, and she had to remind herself that violence, especially towards a perfectly innocent bouquet of pink roses and white calla lilies, wouldn’t solve anything. <br />
<br />
But then again, it might relieve the tension that was coiled inside of her like a tightly wound spring.<br />
<br />
“Calm down.”<br />
<br />
“Calm down?” Jessie whirled around and met the exasperated eyes of her manager. “You expect me to calm down when my guitar player, who, unbeknownst to me, was half-wasted during our set, and decided to stage dive into the audience.” She pointed a finger at him. “That broken arm of his isn’t gonna to heal in four days. I need another guitar player, and I need one now.”<br />
<br />
“Relax,” Wally Lindell said in a soothing voice. “I’m working on it.”<br />
<br />
“How are you working on it?” <br />
<br />
She propped her hands on her hips and gave him her best glacial stare. It didn’t faze him. It never did. He’d been her manager since she was fifteen years old, and he knew her better than anyone. So he should have known that she would be totally freaked out about losing her lead guitar player four days before her exclusive gig in Las Vegas, after all, he was the one who had dubbed her a perfectionist.<br />
<br />
“I put in a call to Drew.”<br />
<br />
Jessie’s already churning stomach lurched wildly. “Drew Carmichael?”<br />
<br />
“How many other guitar players named Drew do you know?” Wally shot her a wise-ass grin.<br />
<br />
Only one. <br />
<br />
“So you talked to him?” she asked, as she moved to the make-up table. She picked up the bottle of water her stylist had left out for her and took a sip. Maybe the simple task would soothe her frayed nerves. <br />
<br />
It didn’t even come close. <br />
<br />
“What did he say?”<br />
<br />
“I left him a message. He hasn’t called me back yet.” Wally shoved his hands into the front pockets of his black jeans and looked her straight in the eyes with an unflinching directness. <br />
<br />
She’d seen that look before; the one telling her that while she might be the star, he was the one who’d gotten her there, and before she went off half-cocked, she’d better let him have his say. And of course, she would. She respected Wally far too much not to listen to him.<br />
<br />
“He’s the only guitar player we can get on such short notice that knows your set list,” he continued. “I don’t know what happened between the two of you, but whatever it is, you need to put it aside for the sake of this gig, and maybe the rest of the tour.”<br />
<br />
“What makes you think something happened?” she asked with feigned nonchalance.<br />
<br />
It was best not to let anyone, especially Wally, know how much she cared about Drew.<br />
<br />
“Because you two were as thick as thieves last spring, and now it’s like he’s dropped off the face of the earth. Did you have a falling out?”<br />
<br />
“No.” Jessie scowled, as she returned the bottle to the table. “We didn’t have a falling out. I’ve been on the road for months now and he…he’s got a life.”<br />
<br />
A life that didn’t include her.<br />

Having met their freshman year, one kiss by a drunken Ollie leads Edwin to place all bets for another one. Little did they both know that Edwin would win and the kiss would lead to more bets.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed the story between Edwin and Ollie. Even though they didn't live together, they are like a young Odd Couple. Edwin is all serious and together while Ollie is the life of the party. Cathia's basketball team makes it into the brackets and Ollie convinces Edwin to fill in a bracket. Edwin isn't sure until Ollie suggests they bet each other. Edwin wants another kiss, but this time he wants Ollie to be sober and aware.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My only dislike about this version of Annabeth's story is the added epilogue. Personally, I thought too much detail was given about the ending and it could have been paired down. </div>

<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: black;">Oliver Marshall has been a sexy pain in Edwin Schultz’s side since freshman year. Now seniors and competing dorm resident advisors, the two are in constant strife over noise levels and study hours. However, deep down, Edwin’s been nursing a painful crush on Ollie for years. When Ollie proposes a bet on a basketball tournament, Edwin seizes the chance to put his inconvenient feelings for Ollie behind him once and for all.</span></div>

<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: black;">Edwin’s not the only one suffering a case of unwanted attraction—Ollie’s been running from his feelings for Edwin for a long time. He doesn’t understand how someone who drives Ollie so crazy with his adherence to rules can be the same guy who makes his pulse pound. In fact, Ollie’s never been so eager to lose a bet in his life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 19px;">Author Mia Downing, is releasing her amazing story, Switching Leads, as a single book. Originally part of the Anthology, Campus Cravings, Switching Leads focuses on the equestrian coach and his newest assistant coach. John and Finn have a past as former students of Cathia University. That past comes into play when Finn is assigned as John's new assistant coach by the athletic director. All kinds of feelings are stirred up, testing John's resolve to stay away from Finn.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 19px;">I have always said, and will continue to say, no one writes angst like Mia Downing. The build up from the beginning to when John gives in to his feelings for Finn kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting to read more. The guys are two strong males who have such a soft spot for each other, yet they each don't want to show their weaknesses. I HIGHLY recommend getting this book if you enjoy reading m/m. </span></span></div>

wants most. He’s used to taking the reins…for love will he switch leads?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Oh,
hey,” Finn said. “Can I talk to you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Busy,”
John managed, his throat tight, choking down any other words that wanted to
come out. Of course, it had to be Finn. He strode over to the desk and shuffled
papers through his trembling hands, hoping it all looked natural. Just close
the door and go away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“You
okay?” Finn slid through the small gap and shut the door behind him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Was
he? His hand froze on the note Rob had left him earlier, reminding him about
Finn starting today, knowing John rarely checked email on the weekend. “Fine.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“You
have to talk to me at some point.” Finn cocked his head. “It’s just a matter of
time.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">John
whirled and leaned against the desk, his heart racing. Talking wasn’t good. If
he was already seeking Finn’s approval, how long would it be before Finn coaxed
him into bed? March? February? Hell, next week? Did he have that much will
power? How long before his heart would be trampled again?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Downing started creating heroes at age four, but her heroes back then rode
ponies to rescue the princess and only kissed her on the cheek. Today, Mia's
heroes still rescue those in need, but the price of their toys and the
expertise of their seduction leads to a lot more than a peck on the cheek. When
Mia isn't busy creating new stories for her readers she fills in as an
underwear model for a prestigious lingerie company. She also lives in New
England with her family and enjoys horses and knitting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">In this scene, Erin
is getting all tripped up in her own conflicting emotions, beliefs and memories
about Zander, especially since seeing him again has made her doubt her own
decisions so completely. She’s just explained to her housemate Dani everything
that happened that fateful night, and Dani, being Dani, blows through all of
her protestations and cuts to the important part: Erin and Zander will be in
the brownstone, together and alone, for the first time in four years. Even as
Dani suggests what obviously might happen in such a situation, Erin resists…
for what she thinks is a very good reason. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="p">
“I’m serious, Dani,” Erin snapped. “I
made the call that got Zander arrested. You can’t get into West Point if you’ve
been arrested, or if you can, Zander’s father either didn’t have that kind of
pull or refused to exercise it. And Zander knew that immediately, the night
this all happened. I didn’t understand at first, and by the time I did, it was
all over.” Erin drew in a shuddering breath. “So Zander ended up enlisting the
very next day. I think Gran Ginny told me that, actually, days later. God knows
I never went out to the cape again after that night.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="p">
“And you never spoke to him again,” Dani
said.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="p">
“Not really,” Erin muttered. There <span class="i">had</span>
been one time, yes. And hadn’t <span class="i">that</span> been an epic fail.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="p">
But Dani wasn’t done yet. “So that was it
for you guys. Four years in the military, and neither one of you unbent enough
to admit that you were wrong and ask for forgiveness?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="p">
Erin scowled at her. “Since when do <span class="i">you</span>
ask for forgiveness?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="p">
“I don’t.” Dani shrugged. “But I’m not
you. Making things right is important to you, and if your Zander’s as
Boy-Scouty as he sounds, it’s important to him, too. But not so important,
apparently, for either of you, that you’d actually give up anything for it.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="p">
Erin’s frown deepened. “Aren’t you
supposed to be helping here?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="p">
“Nope.” Dani grinned at her. “But I’m
about to. He’s coming over tonight, isn’t he? You want me to find somewhere
else to sleep?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="p">
“What? No.” Erin’s eyes widened. “Dani,
it’s not like that. It’s food and conversation, nothing more. I’m not even
expecting him until six or whatever. I figured I’d just paint upstairs until
dinner is done, then come down and get everything together. But we’re just
going to talk, seriously. I’m not turning the entire brownstone into some sort
of love nest.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="p">
“Why not?” Dani asked. “He’s home, what,
for just a couple weeks? Why not make things right while he’s still in town?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="p">
“Because he hates me, maybe? That seems
like a pretty good reason.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="p">

<b><u>My Review:</u></b></div>
<div class="p" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p" style="text-align: center;">
As the third book in the series, Want it visit Dani's life and her past love, Zander. The chemistry between the two is so intense - I could envision the smoke coming off of my Kindle! </div>
<div class="p" style="text-align: center;">
Dani is very naive and looks for approval from those in her life. A people pleaser, she can't help but want to rescue her mother from Mexico. On the other hand, Zander is about fun and living life to the fullest. He insists on going with Dani to Mexico, and they fall back into each other's arms very easily. </div>
<div class="p" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p" style="text-align: center;">
While Dani's naivete was annoying at times, I really enjoyed how her and Zander complemented each other. This is a book, and series, well worth the read!</div>

<b><u>About the Story:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
58 years ago a gorge opened up from Mobile, AL to Quebec City, Canada to split the United States into the Western States (WS) and the Eastern States (ES). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
40 years later a fog rolled in on the WS that they called the Veil. Within twelve hours it formed an impenetrable wall between the two sides. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It’s been 18 years since anyone has known what’s happening on the other side of the Veil. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, Lori, an Other, in a desperate attempt at escape from the ES’s torture and experimentation, has crossed the Veil and found a world beyond belief. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Marcus is a Warrior, but when Lori collapses at his feet wounded and exhausted, he knows he has to protect her. But seeing that she’s the first person he’s seen in 18 years without wings, he’s worried about what her appearance means for his people and the world they’ve created since the Veil fell. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two new societies: one built on a respect for the natural order of nature and the world, the other built on mistrust and corruption. Can they learn to co-exist once again?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>My Review:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a book unlike any other I have read. The world that the author created is so unique and creative, keeping the reader wanting more!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the last 18 years, the East and West have been separated by a thick fog that is called the Veil. No one can penetrate it....until now. Lori is an other and has the power to go through the Veil, which she does. She falls at the feet of Warrior Marcus and thus the story begins. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Marcus and the rest of the Warriors from the Western States live in TREES. They built tree houses for them to live in and escape the predators that live on the ground. They get there by flying up to their house. Yes!! The Warriors all have beautiful wings!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This story is so complex and unique in a good way. The chemistry between Lori and Marcus is fantastic!! Even the secondary characters have such a strong bond with each other, making the wait for book #2 difficult! There is suspense, love, romance, fantasy, and so much more within this book. The Warriors are so sexy and HOT!! The leaders of the Others are intense and sinister. There is something for everyone within this one story!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone that enjoys reading. FIVE STARS from me!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's release day for Campus Cravings, a m/m anthology, featuring an assortment of amazing authors!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the pleasure of receiving an ARC and let me tell you, they are so darn good!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two standouts for me are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Private Lessons by KyAnn Waters</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Switching Leads by Mia Downing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh my hotness!! Both are 5 star stories for me!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>My review of Private Lessons:</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b><br /></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Ryan Kane could lose his scholarship and his position on the pitch. Jake Finely offers to help. Only Ryan and Jake discover their private lessons have more to do with sex ed than Business Ethics. When a tenured professor offers Ryan an indecent proposal to make the grade, will he choose soccer or Jake?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Poor Ryan is trying to keep his grades up while playing on Cathia's soccer team. Little does he know that his professor loathes jocks and thinks Ryan is just another stereotypical one. Assistant Professor, Jake, offers to help tutor Ryan which leads to some very steamy and heated sessions. <<wink wink="">> </wink></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The story ended a lot differently than I expected...in a good way!! I love the chemistry between Jake and Ryan. Ryan's teammates also react unexpectedly,which made me smile. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I give this story a 4.5 Star Rating</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>My review of Switching Leads:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Coach John Graham needs a new assistant for Cathia U's equestrian team. The last person he expects to get the job walks into the barn and stops his heart. How is he supposed to focus on the team when his ex-lover—sexy horse trainer Finn Parker—wants back into his life…and into his bed?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, the chemistry between Finn and John is SMOKING HOT right from the get go. Finn sees a sexy behind underneath the hood of a broken down car. Being the nice guy that he is, he goes to help and find that the sexy behind belongs to his college boyfriend, Finn. Finn is injured and in need of a job, so the Athletic Director names him Assistant Coach of the equestrian team. Too bad John is the head coach and wants nothing to do with Finn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Throughout the story, the tension between John and Finn is steamy. John has issues going on at home and he needs a good assistant to help take the load off. But, he doesn't want that to be Finn. Seeing him all of the time hurts and creates more stress for John. The scene in the bar where Finn confronts John is one of my favorite moments in the entire story. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I give this story a solid 5 Star Rating</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of the other stories are just as good, but these are the two that really stood out to me. If you are new to the m/m genre, or are looking for a really good m/m read, you will LOVE this group of stories!!</div>
