It’s city versus small town. It’s glitz versus charm. It’s high-powered executive team versus the locals of Windward, Colorado.

Join Ambrose Langston and his team as they head to Windward, Colorado to revamp his latest hotel acquisition. They expected to clash with the locals…but they never expected to find love.

NIGHT AND DAY (Langston Hotels #1) by Anna Hackett is coming on 22nd of May, 2025.

***************

Attending the charity masquerade ball was my chance to let loose for one night. And as soon as I see him, I let the handsome stranger show me the hottest night of my life.

Except then I learn he isn’t a stranger.

He’s my new boss.

Tessa

I’m Windward born and bred. I love my family, my town, and my dream job managing my hotel. But now we’ve been bought by Langston Hotels. Cue stress and panic.

I’ll do anything to make sure they don’t ruin the charm and turn my hotel into a slick, modern, soulless shell.

What I wasn’t counting on was jet-setting hotelier Ambrose Langston. Handsome, bossy, with a wide workaholic streak.

It doesn’t take me long to realize he’s also the man I let do very wicked things to me.

Ro

Transforming the Windward Resort is next on my plan. I’m on a mission to make Langston Hotels thrive and rub my father’s face in it.

What I never expected was the locals of Windward being less than happy with my acquisition. And I definitely wasn’t expecting Tessa Ashford.

I’ve always been professional with my employees, unlike my philandering father, but smart, beautiful Tessa—the mysterious woman who rocked my world—makes it a challenge.

Working side by side, all I can think about is her. I never stay. I work, then leave. But she has me questioning everything.

Then the strange “accidents” start happening. Someone doesn’t want me in Windward.

Now, I need to keep Tessa safe from whoever wants me gone.

Reckless – Rebel With A Cause

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
September 5, 2024

“Love is a terrible weakness. It gives your enemies a perfect target, clouds your judgement, makes you reckless… and that’s on a good day.” ~~ Jeaniene Frost

Jasmine McAlister – Behind the calm, cool facade of a coolly sophisticated woman was a giddy lovesick woman who was silently screaming, Xavier kissed me!

Xavier Quinn – “You take my breath away, McAlister.”

Jazz, badass OZ operative yet vulnerable to feelings and emotions, went through a childhood that leaves her with trust issues. She grew up relying only on herself and asking for help is not on the top of her list. So, trying to find her brother Brian all by herself without her OZ family lands her in a situation that brings her close to death. 

Xavier Quinn always always relied on his gut feelings and it’s screaming that Jazz is in trouble and he would go to the ends of earth to save her. He’s been in love with her for so long yet never acted on it as he treasures their relationship more than anything. 

Together, Jazz and Xavier are a force to reckon with, separated exposes the depth of their feelings for each other. Together they have to unravel the mystery surrounding Jazz’s childhood and her brother’s disappearance to put an end to the evil that’s dogging her, if they want to have a chance for a future.

And when Christ Reece tells a story, she does so with “Reckless” abandon, to its fullest and her absolute best.

Looks like Serena was able to track the love of her life, Sean and let’s not forget that Iris Gates is still lurking in the shadows. I bet Christy Reece has some big plans for her!

Passions In Death – Unrequited Love

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

The party was a killer!

Literally!!! A pre-wedding party turns into a crime scene when one of the brides is murdered, grueseome, personal and with hatred. 

There’s no rest for Lt. Eve Dallas and the cop inside. Called into the crime scene inside the Down and Dirty club owned by one of their many friends, Eve has to be the reason and free from passion to bring the murderer to justice.

With her innate sense of detection and tenacity, her ever competent and witty team of enforcement and Eve have the arduous task of catching an envious evil consumed by passion that led to a horrendous crime.

Don’t miss a single dialogue between Eve and Roarke! Their banter and conversation is to die for, and every time I read a “Death” book, I am amazed at their relationship. They have come a long way from “Naked In Death” to “Passions In Death”. Narrating the path from meeting to marrying to traveling the bumpy road of a relationship to the maturity of their relationship,  amassing a life long of friendships and family, is a masterpiece that in my humble opinion only J. D. Robb can be trusted to pen with heart.

The highlight for me, in every Death book is Eve’s and Roarke’s relationship, leaving me delightfully gratified and satisfied!

Wilde Abandon – Love Unrestrained

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
September 2, 2024

Tough on the outside, with a heart as big as Wyoming. Protective to the core, fairness and kindness running in blood. And when the tough have to wage a battle for love, heart and soul takes to the knees. Let’s meet the Wilde siblings running the Dark Horse Dive Bar.

Diving with “Wilde Abandon” into Jennifer Ryan’s next Wilde sibling’s love story, it is a read of pure and timeless love between Melody Wilde and Fox Bridges. A friendship that started in second grade, with fierce protectiveness and loyalty between them, Melody and Fox were inseparable as they grew into teens. The spark of innocent love remained smoldering only to ignite into flames when Fox Bridges returns to Blackrock Falls. Sixteen years of separation melt away as Melody and Fox rekindle their relationship that never ended and love for each other that never faded away.

Fox and Melody, as they work to resolve things that led to their separation and navigate their new found love, they also have to put to rest the demons of Fox’s childhood and the shadows of evil that are hell bent on separating them. A review does not do justice to “Wilde Abandon”. It should be read to feel the chemistry between Fox and Melody, enjoy the banter between them and their family, laugh at the witty dialogues and thoughts that give life to the story, and experience the foundation and support of the Wilde family.

I love how Jennifer Ryan created these Wilde siblings. Pure souls filled only with kindness and empathy, personalities with grit and hard work, characters with ethics of right and wrong, and a community that rallies around their own, Wilde siblings find their happily ever afters. 

A story I enjoyed with wild abandon!!

Fighting For Reece – Undercover Love

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
April 14, 2024

A new series, new characters, with a glimpse of the olden and golden characters making a welcome appearance. 

Katie Reus’s new series, “Redemption Harbor Security” continues with Constantine in the crosshairs of love “Fighting For Reece”. Both have a past with fears and insecurities to deal with and going undercover as a couple at a spa retreat sets the stage to get past those fears, if they can survive the death around them. 

I like these new characters in her new series. Loyal, faithful and devoted to each other, I’d love to see the rest of the siblings finding their true love. Katie Reus is a pro with her narration and plots and reading her stories is always a balm to my heart. I enjoy them to the fullest!

Gifted an ebook for an honest review from NetGalley.
