Completely Yours – Completely Bowled Over!

If you are a book fanatic and haven’t read Erin Nicholas, you are definitely missing out on reading an amazingly talented writer! She is known to pen some mesmerizing stories with some awesome characters, with doses of emotions and thoughtfulness and some wickedly sinful passion that is out of this world!!!!

A new series, new characters and a new level of narration, completely engrossing, completely charming and completely engaging is “Completely Yours”, book one of Erin Nicholas’s new series “Opposites Attract”.

I’ll save you the spiel on the story, and give my two cents as to what caught my attention and why I really, really, really liked, no loved this story, Zach Ashley and Kiera Connelly all together. The whole concept of meeting at a Comic-Con and weaving in a disaster to bring EMT Zach racing over to help and having Kiera support him with her comic-con language is a delicious treat to read.

Developing Zach as the guy who wants to fix all problems, be in the middle of everything, wanting to know everything that happens with his family, always in control of a situation, takes patience, immense creativity and a brilliant narration to pass it on to the readers via words and thoughts. To his ying, Erin brings in Kiera as the yang, calm and collected, reserved and introvert, a gaming fanatic who actually is the creator of a popular online game, understands the nuances of life, of letting people solve their own problems and that caring for the ones we love doesn’t mean to suffocate them and solve all their issues.

“Completely Yours” is one of Erin’s finest writing so far as she takes Zach through his frustrations and insecurities, giving Kiera a guy who cares very much with a heart of gold and would lay down his life for loved ones, and most importantly weaving in the fact that an online game can be a platform of healing for so many people out there, sharing fears and issues, with no judgments.

And to be honest, reviews do not do justice to Zach Ashley, Kiera Connelly and their creator Erin Nicholas – this story is to be read to fully enjoy the impact of the dialogue, humor, relationships and the chemistry between all characters and as Zach and Kiera work out their own relationship….maybe with the help of a fictional world!

Very well played Erin Nicholas!

The Billionaire Next Door – Charming Romance

November 5, 2016

I don’t get to read Jessica Lemmon quite as often, but when I do read one, it’s charming, it’s warm hearted and thoroughly enjoyable. Book two of her Billionaire Bad Boys, “The Billionaire Next Door”, brings billionaire Tag Crane steamrolling into Rachel Foster’s life.

Running the Crane Hotels and devising business plans for new locations gives Tag sleepless nights and he definitely doesn’t need a Great Dane adding to his woes. Never in her life did Rachel thought that she would leave her job and end up bartending and dog sitting. Nor did she ever dream of running into a playboy billionaire and have her heart stolen.

As they argue, talk, work together, date and heat up the sheets, Tag and Rachel sure give us a good romance and Jessica Lemmon pens a story of humor, fun and a couple who captivate our hearts.

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Book two of her BOSS INC Series; “Into The Whirlwind” brings Megan O’Brian back to Dirk Reynolds, for his help in getting back her kidnapped son. They had been together when Dirk was one of the bodyguards protecting the lingerie models, but circumstances forces Megan to separate herself from Dirk. And what a sweet and torturous reunion it is. So many unanswered questions, so many emotions and a past that bound them with passion and love.

As they try to get to the bottom of the kidnapping, Dirk and Megan rekindle their love that never died and reconcile their different backgrounds as they race against time to save her son. With Megan getting into the crossfire of some powerful mafia, keeping her safe is Dirk’s only mission.

Here is another whirlwind of a story, dangerous and deadly, passionate and heart warming, captivating and sensual. From “The Raines Of Wind Canyon” to “The Brodies” to “Boss Inc.”, Kat Martin has created amazing characters fighting for justice and protecting the loved ones in their lives. As each series progressed into the next one, I enjoyed every page of these brothers in arms to their extended cousins and friends.

Running Wild – A Wild Ride Of Danger And Passion

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
October 30, 2016

“What an odd feeling it was to want to slap a man and kiss him at the same time. Only Aidan Thorne had ever made her think that way….” That’s Aiden Thorne for you – one of the elite of the LCR Elite, handsome, sexy and a sinfully deadly operative, with a past that haunts him and places the people he loves in danger.

“Just because she looked like candy sprinkles on an ice cream sundae didn’t mean she was delicate…” the beautiful and resilient Anna Bradford has endured enough pain and torture to last her many lifetimes. Delicate flower she is not, but a child psychologist she definitely is, placing all her energy and passion in helping children and jumping into the frying pan to save the ones she cares with all her heart.

The disappearance of her colleague brings Anna to Aiden as Aiden is searching for a past that he needs to bury to move on with his future. And this little incident manifests into a dangerous ride of betrayal, death and the momentous truth of love that was meant to be.

“Running Wild” is another brilliant romantic suspense by Christy Reece in her LCR Elite Series and Aiden has held a super special place in the hearts of the readers and giving him his happily ever after is just icing on the cake. The incorporation of the sub plot is a great twist as is the reality behind Aiden’s past. And as the plot gets more evil and twisted, Christy never loses her grip of narration, nor does she lose sight of developing the relationship between Aiden and Anna.

And I have to reiterate the fact that a review definitely doesn’t do justice to her novels. Her books have to be read to endure the evil, live in the emotions, savor the passion and root for her flawed characters with her flawless writing!
