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.

My phone rang and I thought it’d be Bryce, but it wasn’t. “What can I do for you, Chief?”
Colton Myers was the chief of police back in Wyoming. His call wasn’t unusual, because they often called me and my brothers when there were cases the local PD couldn’t solve. “I need your help,” he replied, his voice shaking.
The cab driver pulled up to the airport entrance and I passed him a wad of bills before getting out. “What’s going on? I’m about to get on a flight to head home.”
“Good. I’ll drop these files off with Reed, so you can see them when you get back.”
The din of the bustling city made it hard to hear him, but I could tell he was distraught. “Files for what?”
He sighed heavily. “You know how there’ve been missing hikers in Montana?”
“Yeah, I saw something about it before I left for New York.” It wasn’t uncommon for tourists to sway from the hiking trails or test their limits by doing stupid shit. Most of those people found themselves dead. I liked to climb the cliffs, but I was good at it.
“We’re missing people here too,” Colton confessed.
“It happens every year. Why does this case shock you?” I’d been gone for three weeks, so I hadn’t even paid attention to what was going on in Wyoming.
He huffed angrily. “About three weeks ago, eight men supposedly went missing in our mountains. Just this morning, I couldn’t get a hold of Grace. Her boss also called me and said she never showed up at their meeting last night. Her car is still at the hotel. It’s like she disappeared.”
“You’ve got to be shitting me,” I growled low.
Grace was his daughter and a good friend of mine. Hell, I’d wanted to be more than that for quite some time. I only held back from pursuing her out of respect for her father. She was one of the most beautiful women I’d ever known.
“Please, Ian. I have to find her.”
Hurrying through the doors, impatience flooded through my veins. “We’ll find her, if it’s the last thing I do . . . I swear.”
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L. P. Dover is a southern belle living in North Carolina with her husband and two beautiful girls. Before she began her literary journey she worked in periodontics, enjoying the wonderment of dental surgeries.
She loves to write, but she also loves to play tennis, go on mountain hikes and white water rafting, and has a passion for singing. Her two youngest fans expect a concert each and every night before bedtime, usually Christmas carols.
Dover has written countless novels, including her Forever Fae series, the Second Chances series, the Gloves Off series, the Armed & Dangerous series, the Royal Shifters series, and her standalone novel Love, Lies, and Deception. Her favorite genre to read and write is romantic suspense, but if she got to choose a setting in which to live, it would be with her faeries in the Land of the Fae.

Those words had haunted him from the moment Jessie James had heard them muttered from the one girl, above all others, that he thought had his back.
Sixteen years later, he still feels those words like a brand on his soul.
Lucky for him he has a son to take care of, a full-time job that demands every single second of the day, and not a single moment to spare for the likes of a woman that won’t stand up for him when he needs her the most.
He’s only a friend.
The words had slipped out of Ellen’s mouth, and before she could recall them or better yet, explain, Jesse is gone from her life for good, taking her heart with him.
She tries to find her way out of the pit of despair, but not one single person, no matter how much she tries, can fill the void that he left in his wake. Time heals all wounds. Or at least that is how the saying goes. It’s a crock of crap, though.
Sixteen years pass when Jessie and Ellen see each other again without the influence of the town and bad memories surrounding them, and it’s as if not a single day has passed.
Ellen knows the instant that her eyes see her old love that she’s still just as much in love with him today as she was all those years ago.
The problem is that Jesse wants nothing to do with her. Or at least that’s what he keeps telling himself.

Natalie Bennett has always been an avid fan of all things dark and twisted, so it only made sense for her to write what she loves. She brings to life unapologetic antiheroes you love to hate and strong heroines who refuse to be broken.Natalie writes Dark and Twisty Erotica with romantic elements. She doesn’t censor her writing and let’s her stories tell themselves. If you pick up one of her books expecting a typical HEA, you won’t find one.

Jake and Trisha…….
Why is it that all the sweetest romances are so short?
Rodeo Romance was an adorable, short, sexy story of love and trust.
Jake McCabe, a former rodeo cowboy, now spends his days working on the family dude ranch. Jake is smitten as soon as he lays eyes on ranch guest, Trisha Summers. Unfortunately, he does not mess around with ranch guests. At least he never has before. Not surprisingly, Jake finds it difficult to keep his distance when it comes to Trisha. Especially after working alongside each other everyday.
Trisha is trying to enjoy her time on the ranch despite it not being the fancy resort her friend believed it was. It turns out a vacation at a working ranch, where you are actually working, is just what Trisha needed. She is trying to forget a past relationship with an abusive ex. Fortunately that becomes easy to do when all she can think about is a certain sexy cowboy.
Although Rodeo Romance is a very short, predictable read with low angst, Jake and Trish do have a couple of hurdles they need to get over in order to find their HEA. There is a sweet ending alongside an even sweeter grand gesture by Jake.
This is the second book I read by this author, both recently, and I look forward to reading more.
This is my honest and unbiased review.

4 Stars to Beauty In Winter (Beauty #4) by Alexa Riley.
Fiona and Reid…….
What an adorable story this was! Once again we are gifted with a short, sexy, erotic tale featuring a sweet innocent heroine and an over-the-top possessive, alpha hero.
As good as the story was, it had the potential to be awesome if only it were longer. I loved the trope of beauty meets beast. And the premise of this story had an additional twist of paranormal. Who doesn’t love a sexy, alpha wolf shifter?
If you read the blurb, which I assume you have, you already know that Reid is cursed. What you don’t know is that he has isolated himself away from his pack. Only when the curse is broken can Reid take his rightful place and lead his pack. This is what he believes.
Fiona is the key to Reid’s happiness. In all the ways that matter she was made for him. Since this book is so short, only 60 pages, I won’t say anything more. I wouldn’t want to spoil the story for you.
I will say, however, that I really liked it. Yes it was classic AR style with an over-the-top hero. Yes it was cheesy but those are just some of the aspects I love in AR books the most.
Beauty In Winter is book four in this multi-author series inspired by the story of “Beauty and the Beast.” I hope to read the other books in this series as well.
This is my honest and unbiased opinion.

My father’s instructions were
clear – tell the Killarny’s they can’t race. Our families have history
and I refuse to tell them over the phone, so I’ll drive to the Estate to
tell them in person. But Pete Killarny refuses to accept my dad’s
decision. Who am I supposed to believe: the father who’s cared for me
all my life or the hot cowboy I’ve loved since I was 10 years old?
If fantasies involving hay lofts give you a thrill, along with the thought of a family of HOT brothers, read on…
