Review: Claiming Grace

Claiming Grace Claiming Grace by Susan Stoker
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

Audio review

"Another hit series for this author"
What did you love best about Claiming Grace?
How Grace stayed the same person and a good person even with all the horrible things that she had gone through

What did you like best about this story?
How Grace and Logan reconnected and were able to rekindle the love they had when younger

What about Erin Bennett’s performance did you like?
I think she did a wonderful job of bringing the story to life

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Saving Grace

Any additional comments?
I loved this book when I read it on my kindle then I got the audio version and fell in love with it all over again. Although this is not the authors normal narrator I did like how the narrator told us the story
Well worth a credit

#BookBlurb

On Ivalice, Prince Morgan has been living in the shadow of his twin brother and older sister. She will be queen one day and inherit the power of Spirit to protect their world and guard the other elements from harm. Morgan wants this power for himself and nothing will stop him from getting it, not even his family. With her dying breath, Queen Tamsin sends the elements to another world where Morgan cannot have them.

On Earth, Nix, Grace, Kendra and Phoebe are four ordinary teenage girls living normal lives where homework and boys are their biggest problems. That is until they absorb some strange glowing balls of light into their bodies and start controlling the elements.

Everything is about to change for these girls when the weight of an entire world is put on their shoulders.


#MeetTheAuthor

Laura Catherine was born in Melbourne, Australia and spent most of her childhood creating fantasy worlds and talking to her invisible pet cheetah who ran along powerlines.

Her imagination has carried her through childhood where her mother read stories about fantasy worlds at bedtime. Never one to face reality, Laura spent a lot of time turning boxes into ships and castles.

Laura self-published her first novel, Djinn (2013), a Paranormal Romance, and the second in the series, Blooders (2015). Laura is currently working on the next instalment in the Djinn series, Bloodjinn, as well as a few other novels including the first in a new YA series, The Guardians of Ivalice.

In the centre of the room were four glowing orbs dancing around each other in perfect harmony, ebbing and flowing like beating hearts.
“The cloister of elements,” Adrian said, eyes bulging.
Tamsin stroked Adrian’s cheek. “Yes. I have been waiting to bring you here for a long time and I do believe you are all ready to receive this lesson.”
Morgan had been ready and waiting for years to see inside the cloister. He had asked his mother on many occasions, but was rejected every time.
Tamsin touched her necklace with dainty fingers. “Opening this door using the pendant is something you will be able to do when you are Queen, Helia. I brought you here today to show you the elements so you might understand their power and respect it. You are no better than these energies. Their individual power matches your own. Study them and tell me what you see.”
Morgan stepped closer, hand out stretched. The flickering red orb was inches from his fingertips, a strong heat emanating.
“Do not touch them,” Tamsin said and Morgan retracted his hand, glaring at his mother. He felt like a small child being scolded for trying to be involved in something only adults would understand.
I am not a child, he thought. I am powerful and smart, the best of Helia and Adrian’s qualities reside in me. I am the youngest and most capable. I should be the leader, the ruler of Ivalice.
Morgan had a vision for a future where people bowed down before him and worshipped the ground he walked on for his deeds. He would get the recognition he deserved.
Soon, he thought with a devilish grin. Soon my vision will be a reality.

#BookBlurb

Ross Hoffman held the potential for a perfect life in his hands—a life with Evelyn, the only woman he’d ever allowed himself to love, their baby, and…her husband, Austin Fitzgerald, who also happened to be his best friend. But the challenge of trying to make a threesome into something acceptable—much less the thought of actually sharing Evelyn with anyone—forces him to bolt. Determined to put all thoughts of their relationship behind him, Ross jumps headfirst into a new brewery job in Colorado, and back into the sort of sexual decadence that he hopes will distract him from his misery.

When he agrees to assist Austin through a spate of brewery mishaps, he lays eyes on his true fate—in the form of the petite, mysterious, and exotic Elisa Nagel. Hired as assistant brewer, Elisa is absolutely everything he believes he doesn’t want in a woman. But he’s drawn to her in ways he can’t explain, and can’t help but fall hard, fast, and deep, which places him square the middle of her horrific, until-now secret backstory.

Ross is determined that his love will conquer and overcome the horrors of Elisa’s past, allowing her to trust him with the only thing he desires—her heart.

The Liz Crowe backlist has something for any reader seeking complex storylines with humor and complete casts of characters that will delight, frustrate and linger in the imagination long after the book is finished.

#Excerpt


“You really know how to make yourself scarce, don’t you?” Austin said by way of greeting.
Ross grunted a reply as he sat gingerly down into a chair at the kitchen table. The sunlight blaring through the window pierced him right in the eyeballs. It shoved the spike of pain nice and deep into his brainpan, blinding and deafening him for a few seconds. “What? Sorry. I’m a little fragile this morning.”
“Whatever, dude. So, can you come?”
“I already told Evelyn I would.” He couldn’t keep the snippy tone out of his voice. It was all he could do at that moment not to puke all over the expensive hardwood floor.
“What? When did you talk to her?” Austin sounded frazzled. But he’d sounded that way ever since Rose’s birth.
“Shit man, I don’t remember. What the hell day is it anyway?”
“What happened to Mr. Pure Living?”
“He got gang banged by a pack of succubus, all right? Cut him a break.”
“Nice,” Austin said. Ross couldn’t tell if he were amused or honestly pissed off.
“Whatever. So yeah, I told her at some point I’d help you guys. I’m somewhat persona non grata around here all of a sudden, anyway.” He rubbed his eyes. “Seriously, what day is it?”
Austin’s heavy sigh set Ross’ sensitive on edge. But he sat still, willing the clanging agony in his head to stop, knowing getting angry would only exacerbate it. “It’s Wednesday morning, eleven a.m. where I am, which makes it nine where you are.”
Shocked at the lost twenty-four hours, he lurched forward, which sent a jolt of nausea up his throat. “Oh, shit.”
“Yeah. So, I guess you heard it all, then. If you talked to Evelyn?”
“I, uh, don’t know,” he hedged as he stumbled to the kitchen sink just in case. The silence on the other end of the line made his pulse race. His good buddy was getting a tad bit bossy and Ross was in zero mood for it. “Guess you should tell me whatever the fuck it all is. Since the last I spoke to Evelyn it was Monday night. Tuesday seems to have been sucked away, along with every ounce of my—”
“Spare me.”
“Dude, just fill me in. Holly showed up here that same night and I’m pretty sure she drugged me or something.”
“Poor little snowflake,” Austin said, amusement clear in his voice this time.
“Yeah. I sure as hell wish I could remember any of it.” He touched his sore dick before pressing fingertips against the many, tiny burned spots and gouges on his chest. “So, anyway, what’s going on now, drama king?”
“Oh, not much I guess. Other than my wife was nearly raped and killed by a psycho almost-ex-employee before he got popped between the eyes by my strange new German lady brewer.”
“You really shouldn’t mess with me right now.” Ross kept his head lowered, waiting for the inevitable over the sink.
“I’m not.”
“Evelyn was…is she all right?” He poured another glass of water and forced it past the rising gorge in his throat.
“Yes. Thanks to Elisa Nagel, she is. Although that woman is now in custody and I gotta go post a two hundred fifty thou bail and get her scary ass in front of my lawyer.”
“Elisa…who?” The room had commenced spinning so he squeezed his eyes shut. “Oh, right. The Berliner brewer chick.” But he knew damn well who she was. Fronting with confusion was his reflex to counter the surge of emotion that had muscled past his pain at the sound of her name.




Review: Worth the Wait

Worth the Wait Worth the Wait by Chasity Bowlin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was another wonderful read by this author. What if you had found and lost love 12 years ago and became jaded due to this. What if that love come back into your life and still loved you. What if that love had been tricked into choosing another. What would you do
I loved the storyline and was intrigued from page one. I feel in love with the characters from the beginning. Wonderful character development and the story fit the time frame. This was a great read to pass a rainy day

Enough laughs to satisfy fans of Bridget Jones. Enough sparkly shoes and breathtaking ball gowns for fans of Cinderella…
Twenty-eight-year-old Tessa Sharpe, a.k.a. The Royal Watchdog, hates everything about Prince Arthur. As far as she’s concerned, he’s an arrogant, lazy leech on the kingdom of Avonia. When he shocks the nation by giving her the keys to the castle in an attempt to boost his family’s dismal public approval ratings, Tessa has no choice but to accept and move in for two months. It’s lust at first site, but there’s no way she can give in to her feelings—not if she wants to have a career or a shred of pride left when her time at the palace ends.
Ultra-private, ultra-hot Crown Prince Arthur has always gotten by on his charm. But that won’t be enough now that the royal family is about to be ousted from power once and for all. When Prince Arthur has to rely on the one woman in the kingdom who hates him most, he must learn that earning the love of a nation means first risking his heart…
Can two natural enemies find their forever in each other’s arms, or will they ruin each other to save themselves?
Get your copy today and be part of the feel-good fairy tale!

One handsome-as-sin, arrogant prince. One beautiful anti-royal blogger. Two months under the same roof. What could possibly go right?


#MeetTheAuthor

MJ Summers currently resides in Edmonton, Canada, with her husband, three young children, and their goofy dog. When she's not writing romance novels, she loves reading (obviously), snuggling up on the couch with her family for movie night (which would not be complete without lots of popcorn and milkshakes), and long walks in the woods near her house. MJ also spends a lot more time thinking about doing yoga than actually doing yoga, which is why most of her photos are taken ‘from above’. She also loves shutting down restaurants with her girlfriends. Well, not literally shutting them down, like calling the health inspector or something. More like just staying until they turn the lights off.
MJ is a member of the Romance Writers of America, as well as the International Women's Writing Guild.
MJ would love to hear from you! She does her best to respond to all inquiries and emails personally. If you would like her to attend a book club meeting via Skype please contact her to book a date.

#BookBlurb

Cather Stevens is the many time’s great granddaughter of Thisbe, the original Juliet, whose determination to be with her true love Pyramus caused a star crossed curse to be cast over all the women in her family. This curse, created by Zeus, King of the gods, has lasted for centuries, and has doomed more men than Cather can count, including her own father, to early graves. Only Cather possesses the ability to break it, and with the help of Hermes, the Book Keeper and Messenger of the gods, that is what she intends to do.
But the gods don’t make anything easy, especially when a mortal dares to challenge the divine. Soon, Cather finds herself pitted in a race against time against Athena, the goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy, who will stop at nothing to prevent Cather and Hermes from reaching their destination: Salem, Massachusetts, where Peter Ganis, the last living descendant of Pyramus’s bloodline, lives. Because of his ancestor’s tie to Thisbe, a marriage to Peter will help Cather end her family’s curse once and for all. But can she love a mortal boy, or will the shattered pieces of her soul forever belong to Hermes?

Laura Holt is from a small Georgia town, where she lives with her daughter. Growing up as the oldest of three sisters, Laura used her imagination to makeup stories as a way to escape from the sometimes crazy-making monotony of everyday life. As she got older, her love of stories grew into a love of books, especially fantasy, and eventually she began to write her own stories down as well. When Laura isn’t busy writing or thinking up a new way to promote the Star Crossed series, she can be found curled up on the couch reading, working out, or spending time with her daughter. A few of their favorite past times include watching shows like Merlin on Netflix, shopping, and going treasure hunting. Laura is also active in the children's ministry at her local church, is addicted to Pinterest, loves anything chocolate (as long as it doesn't have soy in it), and is always looking for a new way to get her daily adrenaline fix.

Review: Rescuing Rayne

Rescuing Rayne Rescuing Rayne by Susan Stoker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I swear there is just something about holding a print book in your hands that makes me love reading. Even though I've read this on my kindle and listened to the audio version there is nothing like holding a good book in your hand.
This is my favorite series by this author and I hope to have them all in print one day.
I thought I would be reading this a little a time this week but once I started it yesterday I became hooked on the story again and finished the reread in two days.
I think this series is my favorite since I'm from a big Army family and while you see a lot of the other service branches in books the Army sometimes is forgotten

The story itself is awesome and snagged me from the 1st page to the last.

Review: When Life Happened

When Life Happened When Life Happened by Jewel E. Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nothing is ever as simple as you think in life it just happens. This is another amazing read by a wonderful author. Once I started this story I couldn't put it down I was so invested in it. I'm already wondering how long I'm gonna have to wait to add the paperback to my collection. While there are parts that will have you screaming at the author "how could you do that?" The story is just simply amazing and one I fell quickly in love with
I was gifted an ARC so I was lucky and got to read it early but I can tell this is one I'll be reading many many times.

"Another hit for this series"
Where does Rescuing Kassie rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
As this is one of my favorite series it ranks very high as an awesome listen

What about Stella Bloom’s performance did you like?
I love how she brings the characters to life and remembers how she did voices that cross over from previous books she has narrated for the author

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Delta is even hotter than Seals

Any additional comments?
So worth a credit. If you are fan of this series than you are gonna love this one. If you have listened/read anything by this author you are in for a treat as Hollywood will blow your socks off

How in the world did I miss this one when it came out in February I have no idea. But luckily I was able to get a print copy when I say the author at LAE17.
Blaze's story was amazing and I was hooked from page one to the last page. I'm so glad he was able to finally deal with his problems from his past team and finally move on

Review: Jesse's Hideout

Jesse's Hideout Jesse's Hideout by Kallypso Masters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nothing I like better than a good story that is set in place that is close to where I live. Being from Louisville KY with relatives from the Bardstown Area I am fimilar with a lot of the places that mentioned in this book which made it an even nicer read for me. Once I started this story I couldn't put it down. I was intrigued from page one to the very end. While there were bumps along the road for our charaters in the end love won out and they realized how much they each mean to other.

Review: Never Say Never: Another Romantic Comedy With Attitude

Never Say Never: Another Romantic Comedy With Attitude Never Say Never: Another Romantic Comedy With Attitude by Donna McDonald
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just cause you are in your 50's that doesn't mean romance is over for you. The books reminds you that love can find you no matter your age. I loved that Ann found romance all on accident while she was trying to help a friends daughter. This was an awesome read. I started it and couldn't put it down till I was finished

Review: Taking a Shot

Taking a Shot Taking a Shot by Jaci Burton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm glad I decided to get the next book in this series as it was a wonderful story and great read.
I always forget how much I enjoy reading an actual book that I can hold and turn the pages.
this was an amazing story and I'm glad to see Jenna get her HEA. I loved Jenna in her brothers books and was so glad she found someone that realized what she actually needed was not she was actually looking for. I'm so glad I decided to go back and read this series

Review: Rescuing Kassie

Rescuing Kassie Rescuing Kassie by Susan Stoker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another wonderful story in this series. This one although a standalone story will be a much better read if house have read the other stories in the Delta Force series. The background information you get in the other books will make you enjoy this one more.
I loved that Hollywood finally gets his girl and she is with him for more than just his looks and the fact he is a solider. Loved seeing the appearances of our San Antonio bunch from the Badge of Honor series.
This is a well written book with wonderful character development. You feel like you know these people after you start reading this series and that they are your friends and you are always happy to see what they are up too.
I was gifted an advance copy of this story but this is my honest opinion of this book

Review: Montana SEAL

Montana SEAL Montana SEAL by Elle James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Good story line, great fast read. Interesting characters with lots of character development for such a short read. I really enjoyed it and am glad I picked up this book. While this is the beginning of a series there it not a cliffhanger. I am planning on reading more of this series as I really enjoyed it

Review: Changing the Game

Changing the Game Changing the Game by Jaci Burton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jaci Burton was an author I used to read before I got my kindle and discovered the Kindle world. Lately I've been reading print books at night before bed and rediscovered my love for reading an actual book I hold in my hands.
I loved book one in the series and am now wondering why it took me so long to actually to pick up book two and read it. It was well worth my time as the story line was awesome and held my attention from page one to the last page. I've already order book 3 and can't wait to dive in.

Sharing another blog post as I feel it's so true and needs to be shared

I so agree with the author of this blog and what she is saying. I have no problem with sex in books but if that is all there is and the women seem like doormats that is going way over the edge

Here is what she said but I've included the link to her blog if you would like to comment on it


editorial by the blog owner

I value my time, as both a reader and a book blogger. Over the past year I've read a great number of books- most of which I've posted reviews for and maybe more than 100 in which I did not. Why not? Because I refuse to give credit to shoddy writing. I refuse to continue to read books written by authors who obviously hate women. Book after book of female lead characters that are written as brainless doormats, or nothing more sex-bots there to service their men, seriously, I want more than the hero of the book to come home and do nothing but shag his love interest 50 different ways until Sunday. I want a story! A real honest to goodness story, one that makes the sex meaning full and not there to fill a space or word count requirement. Authors who are going on the old adage that "Sex Sells" no longer make MY List. Do I like sex in a story? Yes, but quality writing of a story doesn't depend upon it. It doesn't matter to me if you're a USA Today or NYT Best Seller or a Brand New Indie Author- you either write a story that grabs me by the socks with your story or I'm done! That's the honest truth, I expect quality writing as should we all.

Review: Marrying Emily

Marrying Emily Marrying Emily by Susan Stoker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

audio review

"Finally the wedding"
What made the experience of listening to Marrying Emily the most enjoyable?
The narrator this author uses does a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Marrying Emily?
When Annie was going down the aisle dropping both flowers and toy soliders

What about Stella Bloom’s performance did you like?
How she brings the characters to life and uses the same voice inflections for each character from book to book

Any additional comments?
Well worth a credit but I would go start the series at the beginning if you haven't read the other books yet.

Audio review

"Protection of a Seal"
Overall
Performance
Story
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes I would as I really liked the story line

What did you like best about this story?
How they had an instant connection even though they only met for a few mins. Then fate stepped in and allowed them to met again

Have you listened to any of Rhiannon Angell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
First book I've heard this narrator do but I think she did a really good job of bring the story to life

Any additional comments?
Well worth a credit. I've read other books by Paige Tyler but none of them on audio. I'm hoping she puts the next one in this series on audio

Review: Made to Love

If you are a fan of second chance at love stories then this one is a good fit for you. If your just a fan of a good love story then your in luck. I hadn't read anything by this author when I won this book. I really enjoyed this story. The author writes wonderful characters you will quickly become invested in.
