With A Twist – Love Story With A Twist!

I don’t recall reading Sawyer Bennett before, and she turns out to be my kind of writer and her upcoming “With A Twist” sure made me add her to my list of repeat writers to read.

Book four of her Last Call Series, takes us into the underworld of sex slavery with Wyatt Banks deep undercover to bring the leader to justice. Along comes Andrea Somerville, an FBI agent brought in undercover to lure the kingpin and help Wyatt take them down.

WithATwist-LastCall4-SawyerBennet-Dec2014

Fast paced, danger and adrenaline race to save the innocent woman, and add fiery attraction and sizzling chemistry between Wyatt and Andrea, we have one heck of a pulse- jumping story. Working deep undercover with close proximity only ignites the protectiveness for Andrea, and his tender touches and glances, only brings out the passionate woman hiding in Andrea.

In romantic suspense stories, typically there is plenty of aftermath of a covet operation. But I found it a welcome change when Andrea and Wyatt explore their feelings albeit strenuous situations. I found it to be a very pleasant surprise when Wyatt and Andrea actually take their romance at a slow pace, with family supporting them and friends bringing Andrea into their inner circle. And I loved Sawyer Bennett for giving importance to the circle of friends and family.

“With A Twist” is a definite winner for me, and I have to play catch up with the rest of the Last Call Series. “With A Twist” releases January 6, 2015.

Received an ARC from the author for an honest review.

Marked – Gloriously Remarkable!!!!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
December 21, 2014

The reign of the Dark Protectors has come a full circle. Marked marks a fitting end to the war waged in the Realm and for peace to become the norm of life.

Janet Kayrs Paulsen has been prophesized to be the game-changing piece in the big war in the Realm, between the evil and the good. And Zane Kyllwood as the warrior soldier, strategizing to bring peace into the Realm, and destined to be mated with Janet, is a breed apart from others.

Zane and his Janie Belle have been friends in their dream world forever, and seeing each other in real world, actually rocks the very foundation of their friendship and a future that they may not be part of. Even as the Realm fights to save the innocent and bring peace, Zane and Janie have to endure love, separation and the pain of not being together as each is faced with responsibilities tied with their positions. Even as the Dark Protectors fight to save their mates from a deadly virus, and find a cure, loyalties are tested and trust becomes a premium commodity.

Marked-DragonKings-DonnaGrant-Dec2014

“Marked” is an amazing, amazing narration of the Dark Protectors and their unconditional love and support for their loved ones. It is a brilliant story of two individuals, who under dire circumstances, try to find humor as they fight to keep their love alive. And it is an impressive story of family, friends and allies finding a way to fight the deadly virus and the evil plaguing the Realm, and surviving fatalities to bring that peace.

And it is a glorious ending as Zane and Janie lay down the foundation of peace in the Realm.

As much as I ‘m sad to see the Dark Protectors passing on the reign, I am looking forward to the Realm Enforcers, who just may be the new heroes trying to protect the innocent, and keep the peace that Zane and his Janie Belle have fought so hard for.

No words can describe this story and no words or reviews would do any justice. It has to be read personally, line by line, lived through Zane and Janie’s eyes, event by event, and enjoy the sheer perfection of this story, dialogue by dialogue.

What Matters Most……Is Love, Trust, Tenacity…….

…. And oh yes, let’s not forget sizzling eroticism and some hot phone sex!!!!

I just can’t get over Erin Nicholas’s amazing penchant of perfect timing for humor and her fabulous narration of a billionaire caught in the cross-hairs of a sassy, hate-your-money, sweet, and in-your-face lady!!!

What Matters Most to billionaire Tony Steele is to get the girl of his dreams away from marrying his best friend. Whisking her away to Vegas, they paint the town red, leave footprints at various clubs, and in between the tequila shots and dancing, propose and marry her – all in a matter of few hours. Waking up to Mrs. Steele beside him and not remembering a single minute of their mind-blowing night takes Mr. Steele from between the sheets into a frying pan.

WhatMattersMost-BillionaireBargains2-ErinNicholas-Dec2014

What Matters Most to Reese Chaplin is to get away from her cheating bridegroom and the altar, lose herself in Vegas and Tony Steele. A night of magic, dancing, drinks and guilt-free celebration of passion, love and a spur of the moment wedding in a chapel!!! And all that mattered for Reese was that she’s with the man she had harbored secret feelings of lust and love, until reality kicks her in the rear.

And now What Matters Most for Tony is to convince the woman he loves that she’s the one for him with all her sweetness, independence, sassiness and her hatred for money. And he needs to convince her that sometimes it’s perfectly all right to enjoy life, and go crazy despite being a billionaire.

Tony is an absolutely fabulous billionaire, smart, helpful and just plain simple at heart, trying very hard to get rid of his billions to woo his lady back. Reese is the ultra helpful social worker, always looking out for the downtrodden, trying to balance the money and the have-nots. Both, adorable, frustrating, stubborn and so in love with each other!

There is not one single thing that I can pinpoint and say is the best. In the second book in Erin Nicholas’s Billionaire Bargain Series, “What Matters Most”, is that it’s a sheer perfection of humor, love, passion, and wit between a couple trying to bring a balance to their life, despite the fear of skydiving into a future with each other.

Ready Or Not – You’ll Be Captivated!!!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
December 15, 2014

I’ve followed Jennifer Berg from her first book in the Ready Series, “When You Are Ready”, and have been enthralled with stories. And from her first book to the latest in the series, “Ready Or Not”, has been journey of hard work, apprehension, learning, progress and maturity from experience.

“Ready Or Not” brings Olivia Quinn and Jackson Reid as neighbors turning into friends to making a future with each other.

ReadyOrNot-CoverReveal-Sept2014

Liv breaks away from her wealthy political family to stand on her two feet, independent and working for what her heart believes in. She becomes a counselor with stellar qualifications and leaves behind her trust funds and a past that was swallowed by politics and power. And her professional experience brings her up close and personal with Jackson and his teenage son.

Single father Jackson is starting a new life with his teenage son, Noah, in a new city. His tryst with his puberty raged son brings him face to face with Liv, who coincidentally happens to be his neighbor; a neighbor, who happens to be giving him sleepless nights and making his life a living hell of raging hormones.

Attraction flares, sparks fly, passion reaches its zenith and they fall in love with all their past failures and insecurities. As Liv’s past comes to light, Jackson is a solid rock supporting her. With Noah going through changes and Jackson trying to be a good father, Liv eases his fears and insecurities. Personally, Liv and Jackson are my favorites.

Jennifer Berg has done a brilliant job of penning Liv and Jackson. Her maturity in writing is so very evident with the depth of her characters. There is so much more importance given to the relationship among her friends, the unconditional love and support from Liv’s extended family, the clarity of emotions between Jackson and Liv, made this story so much more precious and pleasurable to read.
