This is one of the most down to earth books I’ve read – so real, so practical and so full of life of the norm. “Glass Ceilings” by A.M. Madden is all about love found and lost, of sacrifices and second chances. Simple plot yet with a wealth of emotions, Nick Farley and Angela Cavallo will steal your heart with their pure goodness, simplicity and the fierce protectiveness for their loved ones.

A one-night stand with Angela Cavallo leaves FBI Agent Nick Farley wanting more and he’s never forgotten her. Two years later coming face to face with her leaves Nick angry and a thirst for answers that compromises his position. As secrets come to the open and Angela’s life is threatened, Nick has to make some serious decisions to accommodate the son he never knew about and his feelings for Angela.

“Glass Ceilings” is a must read and am pretty impressed with A. M. Madden as this is my first read of this author. She did a fabulous job with Nick and Angela, two strong characters, facing life’s twists and turns, facing danger and trying to get past the hurt to build a future – a love story with forgiveness and second chances, beautiful characters and a great supporting cast.

Rebecca Zanetti has taken her readers on an amazing thrill ride with the “Sin Brothers Series” and the spin off of the new “Blood Brothers” series starts off with a “Deadly Silence” as all the players are brought onto the stage of experiments, betrayal and secrets that seem to exist among them, yet those very secrets seem to cement a bond with these enhanced blood brothers.

Behind the “Lost Bastards Investigative Agency” are a group of blood brothers, with a past tortured by scientific experiments and genetic testing that erases the human to create a beast. Yet that very fear of the beast motivates the brothers to escape and help the innocent. As a PI, Ryker Jones has a very good cover up, but the past has a way of creeping up within the shadows of his life and his brothers and he would kill to protect his family.

As a paralegal Zara Remington has her hands full, what with her legal work helping a friend and her nights being spent with Ryker. Little does she know that one of her cases would lead her straight into danger and get into the cross hairs of Ryker’s past. Strong, independent and stubborn, Zara fights for the innocent, and would give her life for her loved ones…just like Ryker.

A brilliant start to the series, “Deadly Silence” also brings the Sin Brothers and it is always a pleasure to have them re-visit the readers. And the story doesn’t disappoint as Rebecca Zanetti weaves another series, to give another set of blood brothers justice and hope for a normal life.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to Harper Crossing, and isn’t it just wonderful to get a chance to visit Harper Crossing, the Sloans and et al?

“All He Wants” as a retired boxing champion is to be content with his life and working as a security specialist. Billy “The Big Bad Wolf” Marshall was content to come out of boxing in one piece, but his heart is not agreeing with his mind. His love for the hot publicist and his mentor’s daughter Maxine “Alex” Rizzo is what’s keeping him up and now that Alex’s life is threatened, he has to contend with sleepless nights.

Having Billy guard her day and night, 24/7 doesn’t sit well with Alex. And yet she has no choice, as a stalker gets bolder and deadlier. And long buried memories seem to surface that throws Alex into more danger than anyone could have guessed, and this was a very nice surprise suspense that Melanie Shawn penned…. a touch of a left curve!

I am sure I’ve mentioned it several times in the reviews I’ve written for their books, this sister duo of Melanie Shawn are a force to reckon in writing some wonderful stories, seamless and smooth. You really can’t tell which part of the story is written by whom as their minds, imagination and creativity work in tandem. With relatable and lovable characters, down to earth and practical plot, warm and caring characters, “All He Wants” is yet another heartwarming read, and revisiting the Sloans is just icing on the cake!

Again I say you want something charismatic and sweet, irresistible and endearing, lovable and fuzzy…. then all you need to do is grab one of Melanie Shawn’s innumerable romances and enjoy their delicious and steamy love stories.

I’ve read Tracy Wolff before and her Ethan Frost Series is one of my all time favorites. If that series is dark, intense, powerful and dangerous, her new series is the complete opposite with loads of pun and humor, wit and charm, warmth and romance.

Co-written by Tracy Wolff and Katie Graykowski, the Ft. Worth Wranglers Series starts off with “Lyric And Lingerie”. As charming, sexy and fun is the title; the story is equally mesmerizing, funny and ultra sweet as the astrophysicist Lyric Wright meets her childhood heartbreaker Heath Montgomery, the star quarterback.

Between the stars and quantum physics, fate and destiny, romance and wooing, Heath tries to convince Lyric that she is his soul mate and Lyric in her very nerdy and analytical scientific way tries to convince Heath that being sex partners is better than married partners, wanting to give her heart a break from the second time around.

 

 

The story flows so seamlessly that it’s impossible to believe that it had been co-written by two of the best bestselling authors around. The entire opening scene along with the plane ride is the highlight for me as well as Cherry Cherry (gotta read to know who or what Cherry Cherry is). Heath and Lyric were created with perfection and they were just perfect for each other. Tracy and Katie wove magic with their pen as they penned dialogue after dialogue that makes you laugh so hard, paying attention to the emotions, fears and insecurities of these two love birds.

“Lyric And Lingerie” has to be read to enjoy its perfection to the fullest and words do not do justice to another brilliant love story from Tracy Wolff and Katie Graykowski.
