Jennifer Schaber and Saba Molai I gifted them through Amazon so please look out for the email from them! Thanks for entering and checking out the blog ladies! 

The line “Ever wonder what some people might think if they knew what you read?” is the eye catcher. Look at the cover close and then get the idea? Yes it was funny to start. When you are introduced to Jade and her office friends you will definitely get a laugh. Things are told and built around the fact that if you read erotica HIDE it. 

 Everyone thinks Jade is a nice girl and she is sort of embarrassed by what she reads. Erotic stories are found on her desk with notes that say if she doesn’t sit there and read them, they will pop-up somewhere else in the office—with her name on them. That alone is hot and steamy to me.

 NOTE this is a funny, naughty book with a little bdsm thrown in. If you don’t like it, please don’t read it . I thought it was a hoot! I enjoyed the gay office mates and Jade especially. Totally my kind of story. It was not a short story it was a novel about 200 pages and I would say in estimate, 100 are the steam! Probably the best steam that doesn’t involve hot wax and bruises. in the book. Grab it up if you enjoy this genre. Grab it and be proud! Mostly grab it because it is naughty, the kind that doesn’t involve pain and make you cringe.

 I was surprised to check the author out and see she has more books on Amazon, a few short stories and all equally naughty.

Three months after catching a killer, Margarita escapes to a historic hotel with Drew and Bindi for a Valentine’s weekend of geocaching. But during the love-themed costume ball, the CEO of a satellite navigation company keels over—and then his body vanishes.

As the weekend progresses, Margarita discovers threatening messages in the logbooks of local geocaches. Her attempts to unmask the blackmailer are thwarted by the last person she would have expected.

With a stubborn sheriff on the case, Margarita and Bindi must take matters into their own hands. But whether they’re chasing one killer or two, they have a problem: all their suspects seem to have solid alibis.

Between misunderstandings, outright lies, old secrets, and more than one corpse, it’s not Love in the air anymore. It’s Death.

Review:

Well this was a new sort of book for me. I really enjoyed book 1 and this one was just as good!  It was a surprising genre that really had it’s appeal. So in a techie sort of way they take you through this intricate way of  finding clues and treasure hunting. So cool! The main character Margarita was so smart and very likable. She doesn’t think this accident happened the way everyone says it did. Margarita and her BFF Bindi set out to uncover the mystery. Bindi has a “super snout” and is smell sensitive, that is just about the funniest super power! While they set out to investigate on their own it is not an easy as they thought. One by one the suspects have alibis. The blackmailing and suspects are bad enough but now the body is missing. I can’t say anymore about the plot, no spoilers, but it was good!

The story was unique as was the characters. I would totally recommend this book! I liked the mystery, the characters and the suspense.

This young Asian woman who is narrating. The narrator feels like she has no identity, nobody has ever made her feel special or important. You read from the journal pages and gather she is just floating around sort of obscure. She is depressed and has no hope, no optimistic thoughts or feelings, and her future looks dark. She begins to volunteer helping the homeless. She realizes what was missing. It is a moment! I could see potential and I want a full length novel!

“Love Sandwiches” Synopsis:

A shopgirl volunteers to hand out sandwiches to the homeless, but helping others does not eradicate her self-hatred. After every act of charity, her long-distance boyfriend Paul suffocates her with his unconditional love.

Between running into a childhood friend who has reinvented herself as a music video vixen, and confronting an unhinged homeless man, her evening snowballs into a night of self-destruction.

Set in Toronto, Canada, this 6,300-word literary short story is about the nature of giving and receiving love . . . and sandwiches.

Blurb-

Dain has lived a total of ninety-nine different lifetimes and in every single one he has loved the same girl. But now Tara is gone and in her place there stands Bonnie, the complete opposite of Tara. Is Dain’s shot at love over or has he lived all these lives because he has been loving the wrong girl?

EXCERPT-

Oh my God. I held my breath. This was going to happen. The giddiness was almost too much to take, but as she unzipped my pants, I heard a door upstairs open and close with a bang.

We both froze.

Bonnie’s eyes opened wide with obvious terror.

“Holy shit,” I whispered. “Your parents?”

She shook her head and pushed me off of her. “Worse. My brothers.”

I jumped up and scooped up our shirts before I tossed her one. I buttoned my jeans in a mad rush and shook out the shirt as the basement door opened. I glanced at the shirt in my hand, frowned at how tiny it looked, and groaned. Yes, I had tossed Bonnie a shirt, the wrong shirt. As the stairs creaked, I looked over at Bonnie and her enormous eyes widened even more.

“That’s mine,” she whispered, my shirt nearly drowning her body.

I groaned again as two boys stepped into the room and one pair of feet stopped just an inch from a condom that I must have abandoned when Bonnie had pushed me away.

I saw the guys soak in the scene—me with no shirt on, Bonnie swallowed by the wrong one. The taller of the two bent and picked up the condom at his feet. Where was the second condom? Collectively, our gazes moved to my hand where the second condom and Bonnie’s shirt still lingered.

I couldn’t move, other than to let the shirt and the partially opened condom wrapper fall from my hand. Bonnie shut her eyes tight as the condom, of course, landed on top of the shirt.

Both guys frowned angrily as they glared at me. The smaller one, who still stood at six foot something, spoke, “Your fly is open.”

I was dead.

Excerpt #3

“It is no orphanage. Dylan, we have to get her out.”

The weight of his conviction and terror hung heavy in the air and pressed down on me.

“Let’s go.” I turned to toss my dinner bag on the porch.

Suddenly the front door swung open and my dad’s glazed, and blood shot eyes glowered down at me. His fists clenched and his jaw tightened. “You aren’t going anywhere.”

I felt Marco stiffen at my side. “Your dad?”

I nodded. “Yup, my dad.”

I sighed heavily. I did not have time for him to kick my butt tonight.

“Can we take him? I think we can take him.” Marco’s voice was tight as I saw his muscles coiling as his entire body tensed.

I shifted my gaze from Dad to look at Marco and glared at him like he was insane.

“Dude, he’s my dad.”

He shrugged. “Yeah, but it looks to me like you’re the only one who cares about that. He sure as hell doesn’t.”

And as if right on cue, I felt my dad’s fist hit the side of my face closest to him. I stumbled back, off balance from the blow.

“I so don’t have time for this tonight,” I mumbled.

“Agreed.” Marco took a step toward my dad, and for the first time, Dad seemed to notice that there was another guy with me. His eyes widened with obvious fear.

I regained my footing and raced toward them before I threw myself into Dad. My body weight and the fact that he was drunk caused him to lose his balance and both of us fell to the ground. I pushed away from him quickly and got to my feet. Standing over him, but well out of his reach, I waited to see if he was going to get up.

He mumbled and flailed in a drunken rage.

When it was obvious he was too drunk to recover, much less do any more damage, I glanced at Marco. “Are you ready?”

He grinned. “I’m somewhat impressed. Maybe Bonnie didn’t do such a bad job.”

“Shut up and come on.”

Synopsis:

Hellish Nightmare…

If seventeen-year-old Seth Bradson were to describe his life in two words, those would be the two he’d choose. Seth prefers to cope with his crappy existence by spending his days in a drug-induced haze. But when Ali Carson steps into his life, Seth finds something he’s subconsciously been seeking—a new drug, one that consumes his mind unlike any other.

Love.

In a moment of unforgivable weakness, Seth allows Ali to try crystal meth, his most addictive temptation. This single event begins the unraveling of both their lives and forces Seth to learn the definition of regret the hard way.

REVIEW:

So the subject matter is really what pulled me in. Can you fall in love with a pot smoking kid from a bad home? Yes. Oh wait that was for me too and my answer is also YES! Seth is not a bad kid. He has a bad mother and brother, but really he needs love! When he meets the “new” girl Ali he just falls hard. I loved the way they were portrayed. Seth was doing his thing, but the guy was smart. He knew how things were and he knew what he could do and what he couldn’t do. He his brother and his Mom become addicts to drugs and alcohol. He certainly knew that he had limits, right or wrong, he did have limits. I feel like he spoke to me and I related to his need to survive.

The best was Ali and how her Dad, a cop, was oblivious to her smoking and getting high. Her Mom was a writer and in her own little world. What things appear to be are not so. The need to wake up and understand this happens so much more than you realize. She kept it hidden and poor Seth was so in love with her he didn’t see what I saw. I think if it was not Seth, she would have done what she did with someone else. She has a draw to that lifestyle.

Yes it was loaded with drama, but you have to read it! The underlying intelligence of Seth has to be read, as the love story. No matter what read it for that! Just read it! Nothing I say about the drug abuse and lifestyle will make sense to anyone unless they see it from Seth’s POV. It does NOT glorify this at all, if anything some people may get educated and that is the message I want to send.
