Waking Up Dead by Margo Bond Collins #excerpt #trailer @MargoBondCollin


When Dallas resident Callie Taylor died young, she expected to go to Heaven, or maybe Hell. Instead, when she met her fate early thanks to a creep with a knife and a mommy complex, she went to Alabama. Now she’s witnessed another murder, and she’s not about to let this one go. She’s determined to help solve it before an innocent man goes to prison. And to answer the biggest question of all: why the hell did she wake up dead in Alabama?
d2d34-excerptblogback

When I died, I expected to go to heaven.
Okay. Maybe hell. It’s not like I was perfect or anything. But I was sort of hoping for heaven.
Instead, I went to Alabama.
Yeah. I know. It’s weird.
I died in Dallas, my hometown. I was killed, actually. Murdered. I’ll spare you the gruesome details. I don’t like to remember them myself. Some jerk with a knife–and probably a Bad-Mommy complex. Believe me, if I knew where he was, I’d go haunt his ass.
At any rate, by the time death came, I was ready for it–ready to stop hurting, ready to let go. I didn’t even fight it.
And then I woke up dead in Alabama. Talk about pissed off.
You know, even reincarnation would have been fine with me–I could have started over, clean slate and all that. Human, cow, bug. Whatever. But no. I ended up haunting someplace I’d never even been.
That’s not the way it’s supposed to work, right? Ghosts are supposed to be the tortured spirits of those who cannot let go of their earthly existence. If they could be convinced to follow the light, they’d leave behind said earthly existence and quit scaring the bejesus out of the poor folks who run across them. That’s what all those “ghost hunter” shows on television tell us.
Let me tell you something. The living don’t know jack about the dead.
Not this dead chick, anyway.

Margo Bond Collins lives in Texas with her husband, their

The Billionaire’s Will by Marti Talbott @martitalbott #review


 

 

The cover should have a warning sign “Will cause sleepless nights” 

The book started with The Harlan Detective Agency, and the leader Jackie explaining her case. Her investigators Carl and Michael were funny at times even while being professional. It went on to alternate chapters in different point of views. There is the death of Nicholas Gladstone, worth billions, along with the attorney put in charge of the probate of his will.   

Enter Austin, the lawyer who is involved in an online relationship with “Sissy 3211” aka Maggie. What I found so very interesting was the details in their conversation. Maggie was lonely and had no boyfriend. She has been talking to Austin aka “”Bronco” for a long time. She is so overly cautious about her details. He does try to trick her into giving him her real identity. She is way too smart. I absolutely loved this part. 

Then there is Laura, Nicholas’ daughter and her womanizing husband Matthew Connelly. She is a drunk and he has never loved her, only her money. She really loved him and has crawled into the black abyss. It so happens her dad passes away and a week before he dies, discovers she had a child. So he leaves everything to his granddaughter. OMG

 

Then there is a maid Teresa who goes out of her way to be placed in the Connolly home. So the search for the grandchild that nobody knew even existed in kicked into high gear. The Connolly’s are suing the estate so unless Austin gets the name, the Connolly’s will get the estate. Austin was like a son to Mr Gladstone and there is nothing he wont do to get the daughter Laura doesn’t know existed. I was so pleased with the authors attention to details throughout the book. 

 

It is a tale like no other! The way the characters are all brought together totally blew me away. It was the last 25%  of the book that left me completely on a mission to finish the book NOW. There was no way I could go to sleep not knowing what happened. This rivals the best mystery writers of our generation. I have not read something so detailed and riveting in this genre.

 

The ending was totally exceeding my expectations.

I am Yours by Faith Sullivan @_FaithSullivan_ #review


I Am Yours by Faith Sullivan

 

I will go out on a limb and say this was the best in the series. Faith went in a totally different direction then I thought she would. WOW 

Adam is at a crossroads. He has Katie on his mind and Jada in his bed. That is the understatement of the year! I was totally team Katie at the end of the last boo. I started this one and by page 5 I was stunned, open mouthed, just staring at the book. I really thought it was going to take a paranormal turn, but NO it took a psychotic turn! No way to describe this but a must read. If you have not read any of Faith’s books I suggest you read this series. I am thrilled there was really no huge wait time in between books too. Nothing I hate more than a great book with a cliff hanger and a year wait for the next to be released.

 

So getting to the characters, yes Katie is back. Thanks for that! I loved the way Katie, Jada and Adam had alternating chapters for their point of view. The way this was working out was just epic. It was woven so tight to make it a page turner. The anticipation was killing me. I loved how Brian, Adam’s brother was brought to the front burner. I got a glimpse of him and then the reasoning behind the way he is. The author also lightly touches on a drinking problem that is shared between Adam and Brian. When the first book started Adam is sort of on a journey in a downward spiral. He was a lifeguard and lost a swimmer. This takes an emotional toll on him and this also travels through book one and two. Now in book 3, he is slowly gaining ground on the road to being back to normal.

 

The complex Jada brings a new element to Adam. She actually trusts him, works well with him, and more important keeps him in check. I was shocked at the secrets Jada kept in order to keep Adam safe and being her partner. I loved her room mate and the dynamic of friendship between the two. She is pretty street smart and certainly doesn’t take any crap, so she was perfect to get him out of his slump.

Everything is wrapped up well by the end. The only problem is there is no mention of the continuation and I want more. I really want to see where Brian’s character goes. I wont give away the fiance and wedding issues if you have not read the series. That alone is a jaw dropper. I cant say enough good things about this. I am still Team Katie no matter what. She is precious, wise, and a lovable character.

As for the author, well I think she is overlooked. I loved her book Unexpected. It was a very (being a New Yorker I am allowed to say this with certainty) accurate portrayal of post traumatic stress and life after 9/11. This book had one of the BEST plot twists, the kind that you want to scream about but you cant. From the bottom of my book loving heart please read it.

The Demarcation of Jack by Blakely & Dana Bennett @blakelybennett #review


18711089
Jack and Jenna are a married couple who seem to be at a fork in their road of love, live and happiness. So they plan a trip and at the last minute Jenna finds out Jack invited a couple they are somewhat friendly with. I admit I loved the premise. I thought there are probably a few couples that I would want to go on vacation with. Well if I remember when we didn’t have kids, there were only two couple we would vacation with. Unless you really know people and have an understanding that you aren’t glued at the hips, then it works. So Jenna is not happy and reluctantly leaves, heading to Jamaica.
Was the fact that the author, I am full of myself here, created Jenna to piss me off. She seemed like she needed to loosen up a lot! That is the way you know the author is fabulous is she creates the character who you know is a thorn in your side. I questioned a lot of Jenna’s actions and she was always the voice of the reserved type of person whispering, NO! It seems like everyone is up for fun and they plan a few excursions  Jenna backs out of going to the nude beach, I wanted to stab her with the umbrella from my tropical drink.
Finally things are moving along and the impact of their “talk” hits home. She is not happy and neither is Jack in a way. They added a lot of funny things to lighten the mood. They seem to have grown apart and are both somewhat willing to keep the marriage intact. Ultimately the couple they go with have a secret lifestyle. THIS is the best part. The steamy scenes between Jack and Jenna are HOT! The scenes between Marc and Summer were equally as hot. They are very open and expressive.
Marc and Summer take turn equally counseling Jack and Jenna. Marc is a Doctor who is very open and has a female way of listening.
I dont know if I can or want to share what happens, but it was quite a journey mon!  They learn so much about each other as a married couple. They learn about exploration both mentally and physically. They learn that Jack being an artist, has not changed at all. He is an artist by trade, so he has a creative way about him that may be considered deviant. I mean he sculpts nudes and Jenna was once his model. When the past comes out I learned that maybe Jenna isn’t as much a stick in the mud as I thought.
Can Jack and Jenna repair the wrongs? Can Marc and Summer help them? READ it NOW and find out! #TeamJack I cant wait to see what team you are on.
Jack and Jenna’s poignant journey encompasses the real and comedic moments of life. This provocative page-turning romance will keep you on the edge of your seat till the last moment!
