Soldiers. Protectors. Redemption. Resurrection.

Welcome to Redemption Harbor! Katie Reus’s brand new series, with a new set of alpha soldiers serving their country and fighting for their loved ones, unconditionally and unequivocally.

Resurrection-RedemptionHarbor#1-KatieRues-Jul2017

First book in the Redemption Harbor series resurrects the supposedly dead CIA agent Skye Arevalo, as she rises from the ashes to save a pregnant doctor kidnapped by a brutal cartel. As she single handedly rescues the doctor and takes her across the border, she comes face to face with the very reason she faked her own death – Colt Stuart.

Trying to reconcile to the death of his lover was and is a nightmare for Cole Stuart. But now facing the breathing and living Skye brings out all the anger, questions and lust that never died away. As he faces the truth that Skye is alive and there’s a traitor in their midst, Colt will do everything in his power to protect his loved ones.

The opening pages of “Resurrection” is a powerful narration of brothers in arms and their unconditional support for each other, hurting and loving for others, and the entrance of the courageous Skye Arevalo forever will be one of my top, multiple re-reads scenes, and I’ve already revisited those pages a few times now!

Katie Reus started the series with a blast! As she brings Colt and Skye together for a second chance, she also introduces the other characters coming into play in her later books. Definitely looking forward to more of Redemption Harbor!

Hollywood Dirt By Alessandra Torre……coming to the screen

Turning favorite romance novels into movies and series…..

**Currently filming, this novel will release as a full-length movie in September 2017.**

Check out the trailer…….

Cole Masten: Abandoned by his superstar wife, Hollywood’s Perfect Husband is now Hollywood’s Sexiest Bachelor…. partying hard and screwing even harder. Watch out Los Angeles, there’s a new bad boy in town.

Summer Jenkins: That’s me, a small town girl stuck in Quincy, Georgia. I cook some mean chicken and dumplings, can bluff a grown man out of his savings in poker, and was voted Most Friendly my senior year.

We were from different worlds. Our lives shouldn’t have collided. But then Cole Masten read a book about my small town. And six months later, his jet landed on our dusty airstrip, and he brought Hollywood with him.

From the start, I knew he was trouble. For our town. And for me.

Sometimes, opposites just aren’t meant to attract.

The Mac Brothers – A One Time Read

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
July 3, 2017

I like reading series, anthologies and sibling series. Having said that “The Mac Brothers” is a short read with a totally new set of writers I’ve never ever read. Typically it’s difficult to encompass a good plot in short novellas, and some writers are pros and some not so much.

TheMacBrothers-MultipleAuthors-June2017

With this set of authors – Angela Ford, Jennifer Connor, Natalie-Nicole Bates, Tammy Tate, I wish they had expanded a tad bit more to create a better foundation of the characters. As much as I liked reading them, there was definitely a spark missing. As I’ve never read any of their full-length books, I can’t really judge them on this book, but I definitely did enjoy the stories.

Seducing Sawyer – Operation Seducing Sawyer Is A Success!

The final installment in the Wishing Well Series and will miss the Briggs siblings and the residents of Wishing Well. They have kept us entertained with their warmth care, humor and unconditional love.

SeducingSawyer-WishingWell#7-MelanieShawn-Jun2017

With the oldest Briggs brother biting the bullet and finally giving into the seduction planned by Delilah Turner, with little resistance Sawyer Briggs was more than ready to show Delilah the desire, passion and love he had harbored for her for years.

Delilah is sweetheart of a person, fighting over her insecurities and fears, always a kind and a helping hand, never one to say no to anyone, she steals my heart with her personality and character. Sawyer as the oldest Briggs sibling, taking responsibility and handling the family, helping raise his siblings and supporting his mother, he is the kind of guy any parent would want for their daughter.

Throw in the meddling citizens of Wishing Well along with the family, and Sawyer never stood a chance against Operation “Seducing Sawyer”, which I must say is a sweet success!

I’ve always been amazed with the writing prowess of the sister writer/author duo of Melanie and Shawna. Their writing is seamless; their talent incorporated into creating some pretty charming love stories that stokes the hearts of the readers. Reading Melanie Shawn is just loads of fun, followed by tingling sensations, heart palpitations and intense satisfaction of reading a good romance that warms the heart and brings immense pleasure.

And the cover is gorgeous!!!!!!

All There Is – Is To Forgive And Love

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
June 25, 2017

Violet Duke needs no introduction. A brilliant writer of contemporary romance, if you haven’t read her before, you are missing some ultra charming love stories that get straight the heart. Coming up later this week is book one of her new series Juniper Hills, a new set of characters, their fears, and insecurities, hope and love, a new town of warm and caring people, and what is going to be a captivating series for the readers.

AllThereIs-JuniperHillsSeries#1-VioletDuke

Jack Rowan is trying to get his life back in construction after a stint in prison for a crime he never committed, but made a choice to sacrifice for his brother. A job instigated by his brother takes him to Juniper Hills, and his one and only love since his teens Emma Stevens. A perfect opportunity and yet a scary one to mend the relationship with Emma, and “All There Is” for Jake is patience, perseverance and some luck to get the love of his life back into his arms.

Emma Stevens has made a life for herself and her sister, leaving a past that burned to the ground, yet the guilt of losing her stepbrother to a fire never left her heart. Running a successful bakery and having made a fresh start, coming face to face with the boy next door she had loved and hates, was something that she had ever dreamed. But now thrown into a situation with Jake helping her fix her bakery, “All There Is” left for Emma is to let go of the past and giving this second chance of love giving it a shot.

Every book of Violet Duke’s always seems to give me a glimpse of the author herself. Endurance, hard work and perseverance is the norm of her heroines, as well as in real life and she reiterates the fact that there are so many good people in this world who are kind and helpful, and that all is not lost. With a positive attitude and courage, she pours her heart and soul into these wonderful stories of love, forgiveness, hope and faith.
