Motorcycle Man (Dream Man #4) by Kristen Ashley


I finished it last night and b4 I could write my review I had to sleep on it. We heard Tack in a few books and he was a protector and the leader of the MC Chaos, he was the center character. He’s it, her dream and she did not settle. The Russian Mob was back (scarey!!) and so were Mitch and Hawk (good for us too). The SAD SAD part was the last sentence this end Dream Man I was like WTF next is The Chaos Series with Tabby n Shy (can not wait). I just need more KA books so I mourn the Dream Man series wah wah wah Im crying

Knight (Unfinished Hero #1) by Kristen Ashley


This book was great! The Knight story unfolded in a great way. He had such a rough start and that made him the true Daddy he was. The Anya and friends parts were great too. Just shows the loyalties some people hold to their hearts. I am blessed with friends like Anya and I admit I cried at least 3 times.


This hit me hard! The families here and Fiona suffer so much loss. Not only did cancer claim his wife but Prentice was left by Bella too. I loved the spirit of Fiona and her constant floating. A great read and even though the last chapter killed me, I loved it. Loved Jace and Sally just proving how special Fiona was that her spirit was felt by them too. In Isabella Austin Evangelista’s life miracles never happen… she knows she’s destined to be the princess who’s stuck in the middle of a fairytale where there will be no happily ever after.

Once upon a time, Prentice Cameron loved Isabella Austin until he discovered she was a spoiled, rich girl who spent her summers toying with his heart.

Life led Prentice to his own fairytale, the love of the full-of-life Fiona Sawyer. That being so, that fairytale was torn away when Fiona died of a brain tumour leaving Prentice with a house to keep clean, piles of laundry to be done, a business to run and two children who were getting tired of takeaway.

But Isabella comes back to Prentice’s tiny fishing town and she sweeps into his children’s lives like a beautiful, well-dressed fairy godmother who bakes exquisite chocolate cakes and gives the perfect manicure to six-year-old girls. Then Prentice finds out Isabella’s soul destroying secrets, secrets that explain why she left him so many years ago.

Fiona, stuck in her village and forced to haunt her family and watch Prentice and Isabella’s crazy dance, finds the impossible happening. She’s cheering for Bella and Prentice to rekindle their love. Then she finds out why she’s caught in her heartbreaking haunting and discovers she must embrace her magic and keep Bella safe or Bella’s fairytale will never come true

Rock Chick Regret (Rock Chick #7) by Kristen Ashley


OMG I am done with the Rock Chick series. I loved the Zano family and Uncle Vito and I was thinking that a female Balducci family member needed to hook up with Lorenzo (Ren)or maybe Ally. I don’t knoow… I loved Hector my DEA 00 agent too and now I am lost that I don’t have just one more to read. Another great story I can not say enough good things about Kristen Ashley and her stories that have had me on edge for weeks! Loved it

Rock Chick Regret is the seventh book in the Rock Chick series and one of my favorites! The story is truly awesome… heartbreaking, inspiring, romantic and very sexy… a delicious tale served up in true Kristen Ashley form.

Something About You, by Julie James


Fate has thrown two sworn enemies…

Of all the hotel rooms rented by all the adulterous politicians in Chicago, female Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Lynde had to choose the one next to 1308, where some hot-and-heavy lovemaking ends with a death. And of all the FBI agents in Illinois, it had to be Special Agent Jack Pallas who gets assigned to this high-profile homicide. The same Jack Pallas who still blames Cameron for a botched crackdown three years ago—and for nearly ruining his career.

Into each other’s arms…

Work with Cameron Lynde? Are they kidding? Maybe, Jack thinks, this is some kind of welcome-back prank after his stint away from Chicago. But it’s no joke; the pair is going to have to put their rocky past behind them and focus on the case at hand. That is, if they can cut back on the razor-sharp jibes—and smother the flame of their sizzling-hot sexual tension.

Mystery Man, by Kristin Ashley


WOW I can not believe the stories that Kristen Ashley writes! Between Gwen and her sister and the MC’s then who is DEA….gosh I am done and tired but downloaded Wild Man and read the prologue. The dedication is great “Everything we are is based on LOVE and history!” I cant really give away the story line but Meredith was so much more than Gwen’s step mom and the history there is worth it all. Loved Cabe “Hawk” Delgado too.
While drinking cosmopolitans, Gwendolyn Kidd meets the man of her dreams. Then she takes him home. Then she wakes up alone. But her fear that she lost her dream man turns into a relationship with a mystery man when, night after night in the dead of night, he comes back for more. Hoping it will blossom into something real, she lets him.

But she doesn’t even know his name.

Gwen’s struggling with the decision to end their crazy non-relationship when her sister-from-hell, Ginger’s best friend pays a visit and warns Gwen that if she and her sister don’t get smart, they’ll both get d-e-a-d, dead. Gwen has no clue what’s going on but she’s used to Ginger’s antics and decides to lay the problem on her sister’s biker boyfriend’s doorstep. Bad choice. She hits the Denver Underground radar with a big, loud ping.

This means Gwen’s Mystery Man, Cabe “Hawk” Delgado has to step in to keep her safe. But when Hawk gets a dose of Gwen in the daylight, he makes the decision that he finally wants real with Gwen. However when Gwen gets a dose of badass, bossy, straight-talker Hawk in the daylight, she decides she’s done.

Thus begins the head-to-head of the Commando vs. Cosmo Girl as Hawk woos Gwen in his own unique way, Gwen survives firebombs, drive-bys, kidnappings, hot pursuits by biker hotties and gorgeous police detectives and discovers the heartbreaking reason why Hawk kept her at arm’s length.

And as all this happens, Gwen finds that her sister’s troubles are serious trouble and she must decide who to keep alive: her sister-from-hell or the man of her dreams.

Flat-Out Love, By Jessica Park


Saw this one on many of my fave reviewers list. So I got through it so fast and I loved it. The entire family dynamic and Julie’s showing up to be the “fixer” was just fab. The explanation of Mat and how his character was written made me laugh especially because my sister does work for the American Institute of Physics and I know the type! Never thought all of the East Coast things would make me smile and miss it but I loved the “coolatta” too.

Flat-Out Love is a warm and witty novel of family love and dysfunction, deep heartache and raw vulnerability, with a bit of mystery and one whopping, knock-you-to-your-knees romance.

Something is seriously off in the Watkins home. And Julie Seagle, college freshman, small-town Ohio transplant, and the newest resident of this Boston house, is determined to get to the bottom of it.

When Julie’s off-campus housing falls through, her mother’s old college roommate, Erin Watkins, invites her to move in. The parents, Erin and Roger, are welcoming, but emotionally distant and academically driven to eccentric extremes. The middle child, Matt, is an MIT tech geek with a sweet side … and the social skills of a spool of USB cable. The youngest, Celeste, is a frighteningly bright but freakishly fastidious 13-year-old who hauls around a life-sized cardboard cutout of her oldest brother almost everywhere she goes.

And there’s that oldest brother, Finn: funny, gorgeous, smart, sensitive, almost emotionally available. Geographically? Definitely unavailable. That’s because Finn is traveling the world and surfacing only for random Facebook chats, e-mails, and status updates. Before long, through late-night exchanges of disembodied text, he begins to stir something tender and silly and maybe even a little bit sexy in Julie’s suddenly lonesome soul.

To Julie, the emotionally scrambled members of the Watkins family add up to something that … well … doesn’t quite add up. Not until she forces a buried secret to the surface, eliciting a dramatic confrontation that threatens to tear the fragile Watkins family apart, does she get her answer.

When things were revealed I cried. I had NO clue what the reveal would be and I never imagined it would be this good. What an excellent read. Now I am going to read another Jessica Park book.

Living Canvas, by Karla Brandeburg


Living Canvas, Karla Brandeburg

I think I would say this was a romantic mystery. In the begining we meet Audrey MacDougall as she is fearing a pink slip from her arrogant ‘s new boss. Braeden Templeton is cleaning house and to make matters worse, Audrey gets a feeling and starnage signals about him. She tried to Google him and discovers that more than 20 years before he was implicated in the death or disappearance of Cameron “Cammy” Hughes. Audrey meets Templeton and feels he is a “person of interest” in the disappearance of a Cammy 20 years ago.

Greg Ellison is a man on the train she meets ion Scotland. He comes from the states, she feels connected to him immediately but doesn’t really understand it. They talk and they are from Chicago, Elk Grove, wow neighbors. She could not shake the connection, to her surprise, Greg could not either. They go on a few dates and when things heat up either she backs off or he does. After talking about his photography and her job as an event coordinator they talk about their “dream” of a Bed and Breakfast. He gives Audrey a chance to share the dream and start a new joint venture. Audrey just cant commit. She is fearful of his wife who passed away and the fact that he has two sons. Se makes her pro and con list and still with the help of Cinda can’t decide.

Several chance meetings occur and Greg speaks of a future. Her best friend Cinda is mixed up in her fiance and his dealings with this Templeton guy and the culmination of terror, mystery and love unfolds. The intuition she has is so strong and he feels it too and uses it in the end.

What I loved about this was the steam was there but not over the top. I fell in love with Greg when they were in Florida and were getting close to making love he stopped. He told her that she has a few drinks and they should think this over and talk the next day. How romantic is that? I can’t give any reveals but, I say read it, you will definitely enjoy!

Kicking Eternity [Kindle Edition for review] Ann Lee Miller


Kicking Eternity

Got this one and will review this week. Stuck in sleepy New Smyrna Beach one last summer, Raine socks away her camp pay checks, worries about her druggy brother, and ignores trouble: Cal Koomer. She’s a plane ticket away from teaching orphans in Africa, and not even Cal’s surfer six-pack and the chinks she spies in his rebel armor will derail her.

The artist in Cal begs to paint Raine’s ivory skin, high cheek bones, and internal sparklers behind her eyes, but falling for her would caterwaul him into his parents’ life. No thanks. The girl was self-righteous waiting to happen. Mom served sanctimony like vegetables, three servings a day, and he had a gut full.

Rec Director Drew taunts her with “Rainey” and calls her an enabler. He is so infernally there like a horsefly—till he buzzes back to his ex.

Raine’s brother tweaks. Her dream of Africa dies small deaths. Will she figure out what to fight for and what to free before it’s too late?

For anyone who’s ever wrestled with her dreams.

Sylvain Reynard’s blog author of Gabriel’s Inferno and Gabriel’s Rapture


It has been a great pleasure for me to hear from readers around the world. I mentioned in a previous post that it was my hope that readers would be able to read my novels in their own language. I’m happy to announce that that will be the case for some of you.

Berkley, my publisher, has sold the foreign language rights for both “Gabriel’s Inferno” and “Gabriel’s Rapture” to Spain. This means that Spanish translations of both books are forthcoming.

I wanted to say a word to my Spanish-speaking readers. You have been some of my strongest supporters and I am so pleased to be able to announce this good news. As more information becomes available, I’ll share it with you.  Other foreign translations are also in the works.

I’m also pleased to report that “Gabriel’s Inferno” is #35 on the New York Times Bestsellers List (Ebook/Fiction) and continues to climb the charts of the USAToday Bestsellers List. Thank you for your continued support.

Finally, I wish to tell you that I’m writing. I should be able to say more about that soon, but know that I write for you, my readers. Thank you for your continued support.

All the best and thanks for reading,

SR
