Getting Wound Up – A Crossover Treat!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
March 20, 2016

I don’t think any reviews would do justice to Erin Nicholas or Jennifer Bernard for their writing prowess. Unless their books are read, the full impact of humor, passion, romance or their characters can never be understood or enjoyed to the fullest.

“Getting Wound Up” is a crossover romance written by Erin Nicholas and Jennifer Bernard stretching from Sapphire Falls to the Love Between The Bases Series, just as witty, emotional and romantic. And it’s written in a three-part book.

GettingWoundUp-ErinNichols&JenniferBernard

Eli Anderson put his dream of becoming a baseball player on the back burner to help his father run their hardware store after his stroke. Caitlyn Murray wants to make sure Eli gets his turn on the mound, no matter what. With all good intentions, with family and friends in support, Eli heads off to make his dream come true, but he wants Caitlyn more than anything.

And so starts the tryst with baseball, with his heart missing Caitlyn and Caitlyn being the ever-supportive girlfriend. “Getting Wound Up” is so much more than just a romance. The choices and circumstances that lead to actions affecting loved ones, as Caitlyn and her brother come to terms with the changes in their lives. As Eli gets past his fears and insecurities, he is yet to make a decision whether baseball is his life or Caitlyn is his forever.

There is no dearth of emotions as everyone try to move past their fears and insecurities. Yet amidst all this is the circle of friendship and family, support and love that gives strength and courage to move forward.

Erin’s Sapphire Falls Series is a brilliant set of love stories – magical, charming and dazzling! Now if Erin Nicholas has our hearts “Getting Out Of Hand”, our libidos “Getting Worked Up”, with minds “Getting Dirty”, imagination “Getting It All”, and readers “Getting Lucky”, I don’t think we can ever be “Getting Over It” – this fascination for Sapphire Falls and it’s citizens!

And getting “Caught By…” Caleb to “Drive You Wild” to revisit Jennifer Bernard’s hot alphas between the bases only tingles “All Of Me” – and these two writing a romance together is a riot!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Well the Cedar Ridge Kincaid brothers sure know how to keep get their women and to come home to love, support and family. And Jill Shalvis sure does keep her readers glued to every page as she weaves heartwarming love stories and giving the Kincaid brothers their happily-ever-after endings.

Jill Shalvis finally brings a Kincaid brother Jacob Kincaid back home – to a family he left a long time ago and to a brother that pride and anger had left him standing alone. With things gone wrong in a mission and losing a brother in arms, Jacob wants some down time and bridge the rift that had caused pain to his loved ones. Sneaking on Sophie Marren and falling for her was never in his eyesight.

NobodyButYou-CedarRidge-JillShalvis-Mar2016

Going through a messy divorce and re-building her life on a boat hiding in the dark, was not what Sophie Marren ever thought her life would be like. But with nothing to her name and trying to make ends meet does not deter her glass half full attitude in life. She may be at her wits end, but she sure has thing or two to teach Jacob about life and it being half full.

Sparks fly, attraction ignites and love blossoms. Sophie finally finds her calling of becoming an event manger for Cedar Ridge, and a foundation in the love of her life. Jacob finds himself mending fences with family and deepening the roots that he had wanted for a long time.

Another captivating story of family and love, loss and forgiveness, second chances and redemption, “Nobody But You” leaves the readers with warmth, the essence of family and friends and the ties that bind us to relationships.

At The Edge -Leaves You At The Edge!

March 8, 2016

I’m a big fan of Griffin’s Tracers Series and Glass Sister Series are some of the most brilliant and fascinating books I’ve read in my time and have re-visited very often. Her narration is gripping, her characters are perfectly etched and the suspense and thrill keeps the readers glued to the very last page.

Laura Griffin’s new Alpha Crew series starts off with a bang and a crash, leaving the readers “At The Edge” of a precipice as Emma Wright and Ralph Owen try to survive the dangers of the Philippines jungle as well as the guns that seem to chase them.

AtTheEdge-AlphaCrew#1-Part1-LauraGriffin-Mar2016

When Emma survives her plane crash and is rescued by the secret and special elite Alpha Crew, little does she knows what life has in store for her. Rescued by Ralph and his teammates, Emma ends up in the path of danger as she tries to uncover the conspiracy behind the crash of her government plane. The more she questions, more closer she gets to danger and Ralph has no choice but protect Emma for the sake of his own survival and heart.

Part one of the first book brings Ralph and Emma closer to each other, as well as close to death. As the attraction between them heats up, so does the many unanswered questions and the possibility of mole in the FBI. As Emma and Ralph succumb to the passion of their feelings, Emma gets kidnapped leaving us readers wondering if Ralph would make it in time to save her.

And that would continue in Part 2, “Edge Of Surrender”

Jackson’s Trust – A Scintillating Touchdown!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Anytime I think of Violet Duke, I picture this ball of positive energy with wings, a wand in one hand sprinkling pixie dust of romance and brandishing with the other a pen to write the most alluring and charismatic of love stories!!!

Jackson'sTrust-FourthDownSeries-VioletDuke

Whether the heroine is a chocolate connoisseur or an expert in arms, a shrewd business lady or a super smart sports analyst, Violet Duke writes each character within their fields of strength with so much detail and aplomb, it’s hard not falling for them and their charm. I love her attention to detail and every dialogue brings a chuckle or a smile…. and sometimes a tear.

And Leila Hart is not far behind in giving Jackson Gray a ride for his pedestal of sports fanaticism and analytical skills. Hiding her skills as a sports analyst close to her heart, Leila Hart is trying hard to blend into the background and concentrate on fulfilling her dream of becoming a college and pro football reporter.

Her smile kicks Jackson Gray in the gut, and her intelligence only convinces him that she’s hiding things that he wants to know, play by play. As his Sunshine shuffles and evades, Jackson strategizes and plays to win her heart. And what you get in “Jackson’s Trust”, is a story full of witty dialogues, panty melting wooing, a few sacks and turnovers, huddles and touchdowns as Jackson and Leila race to the end zone.

And that my fellow readers is a brilliant touchdown!!!!
