Behind Closed Doors – Cavenaugh Brother Comes Out Of Hiding

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
September 18, 2016

I read Jude and Lailah’s story to HEA in “Within These Walls”. I’ve come to know of Roman Cavenaugh, Jude’s older brother, their history filled with loss, pain and insecurities. And I’ve applauded he special relationship between Lailah and Roman, and now it’s Roman’s turn to step from “Behind Closed Doors” and find his woman and his HEA.

A man tortured with a painful past, always trying to please his father and living in the shadow of his stellar younger brother, Roman Cavenaugh grew up with fears of failures. Second-guessing himself all the time, drowning his insecurities in work and women, may not exorcise the ghosts, but his temporary assistant Cara may just be his salvation.

Coming to the Big Apple from Nebraska, Cara Hamilton wants to make a career in New York and a life with her boyfriend Taylor. But fate has a different life for her, as she battles the end of her relationship with Taylor, and her attraction to her boss, Roman. The big city may be fast-paced, yet Cara seems to maintain her innocence, her tenacity and survival as she goes through the emotions of love, insecurities and betrayal.

Jennifer Berg has been and will be one of my favorite authors, and her tremendous growth from her Ready series to now is stupendous. With each book she has grown in depth and her characters have become up close and personal. As she incorporates real life incidents and feelings into the fiction, they only give more life and credibility to her narration.

Roman and Cara will always remain one of my favorites of her characters. With great attention to details, Jennifer penned “Behind Closed Doors” with the utmost care and vulnerability. Roman and Cara will steal your hearts with their beautiful souls and just being good people who deserve all the happiness in the world.

A Fine Specimen – A Fine Love Story

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
September 12, 2016

I adore Lisa Marie Rice’s Midnight Series – every one of those sizzlers and I have revisited them innumerable times, that I’ve stopped counting. And now with her latest re-release of “A Fine Specimen”, I get to feel the sizzle and the simmer between the tough lieutenant Alex Cruz and the scholarly Caitlin Summers.

What got to me is Lisa’s style of narration – crisp, sharp and full of wit that tickles our funny bones. If studying dominance in law enforcement is Caitlin’s dissertation, Alex is the epitome of dominance and yet Caitlin is his downfall. I loved Alex’ perspective, his thoughts, his fears and his brilliant and humorous effort to keep Caitlin in his apartment.

With funny and supportive cop central behind, “A Fine Specimen’ is pure charming romance that would bring a chuckle and gives a satisfaction of reading a good love story. Alex and Caitlin are just adorable, and I just can’t get over Alex and his antics. A definite spunk-worthy read!

September 10, 2016

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.

Their latest novella is part of the Someday Series, and this is a super quick read as Michelle Mitchell finally gets her “Book Boyfriend” Sebastian Winters.

Student and book nerd, Michelle is a totally anti normal girl with purple streaks, quirky fashion sense, and tats, loves her books, loves her college and loves life. Having Sebastian Winters, the college’s star baseball player and ranker follow her on Instagram totally rocks her world. And Sebastian Winters has been eyeing Michelle for the longest time and finally he seems to get his dream girl forever.

The reason I love this sister duo of Melanie and Shawna is no matter the length of the story, they can create real and relatable characters that mold well with the narration story, without leaving the readers feeling deprived of the development of characters or their individuality. There is no dearth of emotions and romance, importance to secondary characters or the true essence of the plot.

And the cover is gorgeous!!!!!

This is too cute a love story to pass, and is a definite read

Now You See Her…. A Psychic Thriller

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

I’ve read all of Dale Mayer’s psychic series and they are one of my favorites especially the first seven. And Stefan’s story is just the best of the lot. But they can be read as stand-alones.

nowyouseeher-dalemayer-june2016

“Now You See Her” brings Tia into the crosshairs of a psychotic killer experimenting on people with special powers wanting to gain control and power. Being a puppet in this special program for ten years, Tia finally escapes the imprisonment, yet she couldn’t get away from the evil personified. Raw and innocent, not having the strength to control her special powers, she ends up in Stefan’s care and Dean’s protection.

A cop and moonlighting as a security guard at the hospital, Dean has seen a lot in his service, yet Tia leaves him speechless with her powers and has him mesmerized with her personality. Giving her protection in his home only brings these two together and Dean’s calmness and energy seems to give Tia the strength and protection to keep herself safe.

Interesting and mesmerizing, Dale Mayer takes us on another thrilling journey as Tia and Dean try to stay alive to make a future together. And it’s always a pleasure to have some of the earlier characters make an appearance.

Her Survivor – A Brilliant Penning!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
July 19, 2016

Adding another new author to my list to be read again and again! In fact I went and bought a few of her books! I always get goose bumps every time I read a new author and end up loving them for repeat reads and a place in my library.

Vonnie Davis is a brand new author and her latest (and first for me), “Her Survivor” takes readers into the stories of the courageous and brave soldiers who guard us with their lives, and the aftermath of war and death. But let me assure that there is plenty of romance to warm the heart.

HerSurvivor-BlackEagleOps#1-VonnieDavis-Jul2016

Navy Seal Dustin Frank is recovering from the trauma of losing a leg and getting acclimated to a life that will just not be normal anymore, yet he needs to make it normal to survive. Heading to Eagle Ridge Ranch to surround with his army brothers to recuperate, never did he dream of a life that comes in the bookstore owner Kelcee Todd.

Inheriting the bookstore that she loves with all her heart, Kelcee Todd is all set to step into the next chapter of her life. Strong and independent, warm and compassionate, supportive and kind, Kelcee Todd has a lot to be grateful for and has a baggage of past to unload.

Together Kelcee and Dustin are at each other’s throats, together they set the sparks on fire and together they sizzle between the sheets, and together they have to overcome a danger from the past, if they want to have a chance at a future together.

Vonnie Davis does a brilliant job of caricaturing Dustin as the struggling war veteran, giving us an insight into the lives of these brave wounded soldiers, fighting the nightmares of death and tragedy, yet giving them hope as they cling to the support and warmth of friends and kind people. Kelcee Todd is a firecracker of a woman, going toe to toe with Dustin as his better half.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Dustin and Kelcee, along with the supporting characters, and the thrill of looking forward to a new series as Vonnie Davis lays foundation to the Black Eagle Ops with the first book, “Her Survivor”.
