Hi!
June 9, 2016
So this is my new blog. On here I will review all the books I read. Right now, nearly all my reviews can be found on Goodreads. As I continue to work on this blog I will sort and add my older reviews into categories. I am looking forward to this project as this is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I love to read and I love to write. So I hope you will visit this blog from time to time and watch it grow.

The good news is, I’m out of exile and I have the woman I love by my side. And I still have my crown, tarnished though it may be.
The bad news is…all of that is temporary.
There are those that want me as far away from the crown as possible. I still have a killer on my tail who has a more permanent solution in mind. Oh and there’s the small matter of all the secrets I’m keeping from Ariel.
For her I risked it all, but will she wind up paying the price?
Once she knows my secrets. What will she do to protect me and the crown?
What will I be willing to do to protect her?
The answer is: everything.

I still can’t believe I only recently read my first books by this author. I have some serious back-reading to do. This author is very talented with romantic suspense, adding in a few twists and turns to keep us on our toes. In this book, I won’t lie, I did predict the end. That’s just me, though. Once I know there is a suspense plot, I am reading between the lines until I can figure it out. Still, I wasn’t 100% sure until later on in the book. To say I can’t wait to read more about Royal Elite is an understatement.
That said………
This is not a standalone. To Love a Prince is the completion of The Prince Duet. I absolutely loved the intrigue and mystery weaved into Ariel and Tristan’s story. These two have massive chemistry. In the first book, Ariel and Tristan are reunited. However, it is not a joyous reunion. There was conspiracy that tore them apart. Ten years! It took ten years for these two to have the deserved happily-ever-after they deserved. Hopefully, you read the first book and already know that Ariel and Tristan are together. But things are not entirely what they seem. There are still dangers and manipulation trying to ruin their happy-ever-after.
So, this is where I have to tell you that you’re going to have to wait to read this on your own if you’re looking for more details from me. Truthfully, there isn’t much more I can say without possibly spoiling this book for you. I can tell you, there is more suspense, intrigue, & danger to keep you on your toes. Right up to the very end!
If you haven’t ever read any of this author’s books, I want to tell you her writing talent is amazing. The writing flow is steady and her books are easy to devour in no time at all. I definitely recommend Nana Malone for you future reading enjoyment.
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. 🙂

Once I see the Sunni Stone, I don’t care what it costs me to have her. She’s as beautiful as the flower she’s named after, but she’s never had a chance to bloom.
Soon enough she has me addicted to more than her pretty petals and sweet nectar.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Oh how sweet! His Sun Drop is one of the May Flowers series of standalone romance from the Flirt Club authors.
I haven’t had the chance to read them all but I definitely am interested in reading more. In His Sun Drop we get to experience the love of Emmet and Sunni. Because this is a quick read, I won’t give any spoilers. I will say that I adored this couple. The way they first meet, or should I say see each other, was so romantic. At least I believe so. Imagine in a sea of endless faces and the heavy sounds of traffic, you are drawn to the person truly meant for you. That one instant moment where you know your life is going to change. A connection like no other.
Emmet and Sunni are cute together. Their relationship moves fast and is intense. Of course there is just enough angst to make their relationship realistic. Neither Sunni or Emmet are perfect characters; each has their own insecurities. My only complaint about this book was that it was over too soon. If you’re looking for a short, sexy read with an intense hero and the woman who makes him complete with a HEA, I recommend His Sun Drop
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. 🙂

A game of pretend with the highest stakes of all in the latest novel of breathtaking romance from USA Today bestselling author Caitlin Crews
Ty Everett ran off to the rodeo when he turned eighteen and has been riding bulls ever since…until his last fall causes partial amnesia and he must return to Cold River Ranch to figure out what comes next. But how can he pick his next move when he can’t remember how he got here in the first place–much less the beautiful woman who appears at the ranch, claims she knows him, and warms his cold heart for the first time since he woke up in the hospital?
Rodeo Queen Hannah Monroe gave up her crown for Ty Everett, and her innocence. What she wants from Ty now is a divorce. But Ty can’t remember her–or their secret wedding, or even the son she never meant to hide from him–and Hannah is torn. How can she leave the man she can’t forget and still loves despite herself? And even if she’s willing to start over, what will happen when the truth comes out?
Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy by Caitlin Crews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
After reading this entire book, I decided 4 stars was a fair rating. To be honest, up to the last quarter of the book I found myself very frustrated with the amount of inner monologue. I have no problems with being inside a character’s head and knowing what he/she is thinking. Unfortunately, this book did not have a good balance of monologue verses dialogue. For example, our heroine would ask a question and it was literally pages later where the hero answered. By the time I got to the answer, I had to re-read because I couldn’t remember the question. This happened throughout most of the book. Also, this was my same issue with the first book in the series. Thankfully, the last 25% of the book moved faster and I was able to enjoy the story more and forget my frustration.
So, despite that issue, I did enjoy the book. The characters were complex and flawed. Both the H/h had emotional stress to deal with. I will say that Hannah was a hot mess and I completely understood why. Seriously, if the love of my life could not remember I existed I don’t know that I would deal with it as well as Hannah seemed to. There were many other conflicts in the story added by secondary characters, for instance, Hannah’s mother. Those character conflicts helped me to enjoy the story more. That said, while I complained about writing flow, etc., I did overall enjoy Ty and Hannah’s story. I’m going to read the next book which features the last brother, Brady, because despite my complaints I’m invested I the happily-ever-after of this family.
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. 🙂

Title: Ruin ( Kenshaw Legacy #1 )
What does a geeky math nerd know about writing romance?
That’s a darn good question. As a former techy I’ve done everything from computer programming to international trainer. Prior to college I had lots of different jobs and activities that were so diverse, I was an anomaly.
None of that qualifies me for writing novels. But I have some darn good stories to tell and a lot of imagination.
I have lived in Colorado, Hawaii and currently Washington. Going from two states with 340 days of sun to a state with 340 days of clouds, I had to do something to perk me up. And that’s when I started this new adventure called author. Joining the Romance Writers of America and two local chapters, helped me learn the craft quickly and has been a ton of fun.
My family consists of two grown children, their spouses, two adorable grand-daughters, and one grand dog. My favorite activity is playing with my grand-daughters!
When the girls can’t play with their amazing grand-mother, my interests are reading and writing, yay! I started reading at a young age with the Nancy Drew mysteries and have continued to be an avid reader my whole life. My favorite reading material is romance in most of the genres, but occasionally other stories creep into my to-be-read pile, I don’t kick them out.
Some of the strange jobs I have held are a carnation grower’s worker, a trap club puller, a pizza hut waitress, a software engineer, an international trainer, and a business program manager. I took welding, drafting and upholstery in high school, a long time ago when girls didn’t take those classes, so I have an eclectic bunch of knowledge and experience.
And for something really unusual… I once had a racoon as a pet.
Join with me as I tell my stories, weaving real tidbits from my life in with imaginary ones. You’ll have to guess which is which. It will be a hoot!
