Here All Along – Screening Love!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
October 7, 2015

Readers familiar with the Sloan Brothers of Melanie Shawn and the Sullivans of Bella Andre would enjoy the Kelly Brothers with equal fervor. Crista McHugh’s Kelly Brothers are an amazing bunch of talented and super loving hunks, raised by a super awesome mother and the family dog Jasper. I’ve read and re-read all of them a few times over and enjoy them more each time.

Kelly brother number 7, Gideon has all the charm and sexiness of a movie star and he is at the pinnacle of his career. Yet rooted to the ground by his family values and love for the humanity, he’s hard to resist and a temptation that every woman wants a bite of. But “The Kid” has only eyes for Sarah Holtz and his heart belongs to her now and forever.

But convincing Sarah is a gigantic job that requires a screenplay skillfully written and choreographed with loyal characters and family support. Sarah has seen the pinnacle of stardom and the rock bottom depths of depression and drugs. For her Gideon is her savior and life support, but she wants to stand on her own strength before she can stand on equal footing with Gideon.

I love Crista and her penchant for weaving stories that leave her readers with laughs and love, tears and heartbreaks, meddling friends and staunch supporters. “Here All Along” had me in splits as Gideon along with his co-star Gabe try to rope in Sarah, the interaction between these two is plain hilarious. Gideon as the superstar yet the vulnerable man in love have us rooting for him all the way.

And Sarah as the girl who has lost everything, yet as the woman who may have a chance at everything is just a classic beauty of courage and determination. I just loved her and she was “Here All Along”, right next to her future and took her a while to accept the love and trust she was lucky to have found.

What can I say about Crista McHugh – she’s been and will be one of my all time favorite writers. She writes such genuine love stories that are so relatable to our daily lives and makes reading them such a pleasure. Simple, classy and charming creations are her fictions.

Montana Hero – Love And Family

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Debra Salonen’s Marietta, Montana love stories are heartwarming to read, full of family values and the unconditional love and support extends to extended families and more. The characters are so interwoven and connected in ways that make these stories interesting to ready and Debra is good with keeping the flow of the story going strong and captivating.

MontanaHero-BigSkyMavericks6-DebraSalonen-Aug2015

Flynn Benson meets Kat Robinson and that instant attraction flares between them, but then Flynn has insecurities that question his very job of search and rescue, and Kat has parental obligations that don’t leave room for relationships. But then Kat is in Marietta for a reason that Flynn is not aware that would cause quiet a stir on the little town.

“Montana Hero” book 6 in the Big Sky Maverick series, is another Marietta love story that takes you on a journey of finding one’s identity and build trust that may result in a lifelong relationship love and family. It deals with current issues of Alzheimer and Asperger, so very common in our world. Debra builds a good short and sweet story around Flynn, Kat and Brady…rich in emotions and full of love.

September 28, 2015

I don’t know if Katie Reus trumps Savannah Stuart or vice versa, but gotta tell you that both heat up the pages with their intense romantic suspense and extraordinary paranormal romance. And I am totally hooked to both – fangs and all!

DangerousCraving-MiamiScorcher4-SavannahStuart-Aug2015

Savannah Stuart’s Miami Scorcher Series keeps the hearts sizzling and nerves tingling with a ‘Dangerous Craving” for the forbidden and a love that’s not meant to be. But we are talking about the werewolf shifter Thomas Lazos, who is hell bent on getting his mate no matter what. When Nissa enters his continent seeking his protection, there’s no stopping Thomas from stealing her heart and laying his life for her.

The beautiful and full-blooded faerie, Nissa is being hunted and someone wants her dead before she can be crowned the queen. Staying under the protective wings of Thomas, Nissa gives herself to the desire and passion that she has buried deep in her heart and Thomas matches heartbeat to heartbeat.

No matter how many paranormal love stories I read, Savannah Stuart will always remain as one of my top favorites. With a fascinating talent to create stories that take us to the heights of her creativity, they always give me the pleasure of reading a scintillating love story, paranormal and normal.

Midnight Fire – Dark And Dangerous

September 26, 2015

 

“Midnight Secrets” took the readers on a ride of destruction, betrayal and loss that Isabel Devlaux endured and lived through. As secrets were revealed and her brother comes back from the dead, Lisa Marie Rice takes us into the secret life of Jack Devlaux through her latest release “Midnight Fire”

MidnightFire-LisaMarieRice-Sept2015

Surviving the Washington Massacre took Jack Devlaux from the living to the darkness of shadows to stay alive and trying to unravel the mystery of the Washington Massacre. His tryst with dark shadows reveal layers of betrayal and plans of terrorist acts that threaten the innocent…and one such person of interest is Summer Redding.

As a political journalist, Summer has been thrown into some dangerous situations, but nothing like her quest to search for answers to the Washington Massacre. Her job takes her to the doorstep of death, as her entire life is destroyed and burned to the ground. Saved by her presumed first crush, Summer and Jack are on the run trying to outwit death and stop a terrorist that would change the course of the world.

Lisa Marie Rice does what she is brilliant at – writing stories of danger and evil, family and friends, support and love; adrenaline pumping and spine chilling rides of some with amazing narration. Each book can be read as a stand alone, with the characters from the previous stories making an appearance, which is such a pleasure. And she makes sure that Jack and Lore burn the midnight fire to its fiery heights.

One Night With The Playboy – Sexy Cowboy Father

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
September 22, 2015

Book 4 of the ‘Whiskey River Series’ went by too fast for me. Yet it was entertaining, sexy as the blues and charming to the Boots. Whiskey River romance hooks Nick Blue to Reba Duvall stock, barrel and a kid!

OneNightWithThePlayboy-WhiskeyRiver4-KatherineGarbera-Sept2015

Tragedy takes friends Reba Duvall and Nick Blue to the sheets, igniting passion and firing their hearts. And the consequences of that one night bring Reba to Whiskey River in search of Nick and a chance for him to meet his daughter. Months may have separated these two, but the attraction still sizzles between them and Nick wants to lay down roots in Whiskey River with his brothers.

As much as Reba loves Nick, she doesn’t want to step into a relationship or a family as an obligation. The passion still burns between them, and love is just a breath away from their hearts.

Penned by Katherine Garbera, “One Night With The Playboy”, she adds spice to Nick and Reba. Short as it is, the history between them is reasonably presented and the foundation of their love story is plausible. With the brothers adding their wit and humor, support and bonding, this story makes a charming read, perfect to set the mood happy and warm. And add one sinfully deadly cover!!!!!
