Such a great story here. If you are a New Adult fan or a romance with a drama filled plot then grab this book NOW. I loved the main character Peyton. She was raised by her Grandma in New Orleans and took over her Grandma’s recipes and started a very successful pie shop. Not cakes, cookies or fudge but pie. She had a sense for who liked what kind of pie and could guess them immediately. I liked that because it was one of the unique traits of the character. So her best friend Quinn and her Brother Griffin helped Peyton through some tough times.

Now for Quinn. there is a lot to like about her but I think most is her fierce loyalty to Peyton. She is a very protective friend. The same lightness is offered up for her and her unique talent. Quinn has a thing for underwear. Many references are made her to her along with her quite charming ways of naming panties. It is just this lightness that balances her and her OCD tendencies. Bret her boyfriend is a dream. His best friend Reed, well ….. my oh my he is fine. He is a player who falls for Peyton.

Now more on the Reed front. I liked him because he did recognize that he was living a life of leisure with a variety of ladies. OK now he gets into Peyton and he is taken by her. Is it enough to change his ways?

This has so many deep parts. The characters are all bonded together very tight. There is a secret reveal for Peyton that is huge and then one small. Reed and Griffin provide the drama.

Lastly I saved my favorite character for last. Dr Lorraine. There really are no words to describe how freakin awesome this therapist is. She is smart, funny, and determined to help Peyton. She says the funniest things in a one liner type way. I would love to have a Dr. Lorraine series. There is one part where she tells Peyton to got shopping and well Peyton says no to retail therapy and the Doctor suggests daily masturbation. Peyton went shopping! LMAO just had to give you a taste of her brilliance.

The author does a great job with her style and the correct level of drama. I loved it can you tell?

Another great book and ya know on the last page it says there will be a book 3. NO cliffhanger either! Just more of the characters we love and those we love to hate.

clapping eee 3366097What you get in book 2 is the continuation of a few characters so there is familiarity. Loving Jeremy and Mattie in book one brings them back for a few memorable scenes. This one is much more intricate in the reveals. There is a new character Kelly and her sidekick assistant Rodney. Both of them are not at all trusting and she is wanting to steal Hard Reign from Laurel. There is an element of danger when it comes to these two.

danger bneating a

As for the character of Laurel, I loved her! I also loved her assistant Sarah. Both together bring a light hearted comedy effect to the book. There is a certain fear of elevators that Laurel has and Sarah is scared of flying. Things like this make you feel connected to them, they seem normal. It makes then not only likable, but lovable and real.

danger confined images (2)

The buildup was a long one. Well worth the wait because there are a few people who could be evil enough to try to break up not only the band but Laurel and Cade. So believe me this is a thrilling chick lit read! Grab it up

Read it fast and furious like I did. It is NOT at all a chick lit or romance novel it is much much more

I have always been a voracious reader. After hitting a dry spell of reading material, I decided to write the kind of book I would like to read. This resulted in the creation of my debut novel, Intentional.
I am currently working on a sequel based on the life of one of Intentional’s supporting characters.
When I’m not writing novels, I enjoy traveling the world, rain, watching movies and reading (!)
I also run my own business in my current hometown of Mercer Island, Washington.

Things aren’t always what they seem. Wrap an empty box in pretty paper and a bow, it may look amazing, but it’s still a hollow shell.

Grace quickly befriends Dylan, Rex’s nephew, and Dylan’s girlfriend, Sadie, who is a die-hard teen activist. Sadie spends her time leading protests against the roadside zoos that run rampant in Florida with a total disregard for animals or the flimsy law.

But when the panther runs off, Grace follows it toUncle Bob’s, a large roadside zoo they all have been protesting. One that is illegally filled with a variety of endangered and exotic animals. Before she can rescue the panther, she and her friends are kidnapped by the ruthless owner and dragged deep into the Everglades for a hunting challenge.
 
Only this time, Grace is the prey.

Unspoken Memories by Gabbie S. Duran @gabbiesduran #review

WOW only a few days until book 2 

 

I loved this one Matt Garcia swoon. You know I must be honest I dont like ghost, paranormal or fantasy. This was a GREAT romance/suspense story with a side order of a ghost. I cant explain it exactly but the main character was great. She wakes up from being in a coma and hear things between a man and a woman. These things are disturbing and they quickly take over the book. This is where the plot goes into overdrive. Our Abigail Adams is an up and coming supermodel. Im old so I will think of her as a young Kathy Ireland. She quickly realizes she has no memory. The fall damaged her and she cant figure things out. Then she remembers a phone number, gets a private investigator and finds the person connected to the number. Boy oh boy this was very well done!

 

The characters are so good and the memories are clear to Abbie, so clear in fact I was stunned at the twist that happens relating to them. I guess if someone is no longer here in the physical world they are still here in spirit. I totally believe that. This by no means is a paranormal book, its a new adult romance and it has a twist. It is a marvelous book that ends with you wanting more but not needing it. No cliffhangers. Gotta love that.

 

What I loved was how the minor story was running a marathon. As a model she never thought about exercise, just diet modification. Abigail takes up running with her new found friends. It was very inspirational reading how she starting to run some really big marathons.

 

The author does a great job with the romance aspects of Abigail. There is a steam factor here. I think the level is a good 8 on a 1-10 scale. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I have a few days until book 2 what a deal!

New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, not intended for readers under the age of 18.

There isn’t anything exciting about me, besides having a uniquely spelled name….

Yes, it’s spelled Gabbie.

I’m a mom first, a wife second, and then a crazy girl who won’t hesitate to take on a challenge. That’s how I found my passion for writing. My daughter challenged me to write a book, and I did.

I was born and raised in Southern California. I live with my wonderful husband, two amazing kids and a senior citizen kitty named Tigger. When I’m not writing you can find me reading or sneaking off for a run. Some might say it’s a crazy life, but I wouldn’t change anything about it.

Perfectly Broken by Prescott Lane @prescottlane1 #Spotlight

Posted in Book Titles by

synopsis Image4

Even after years of trauma therapy, Peyton still believes she’s broken. She has little desire to date or show off her natural beauty, content simply to hang out with her best friends and run her pie shop in New Orleans. But her world turns upside-down when a handsome architect and self-confessed player shows up in her shop and thinks she’s perfect, much more than the usual hook-up. While Peyton does her best to resist his charms, believing she could never be enough for him, she can’t deny the obvious heat between them. With Reed determined to have her, Peyton must decide whether to continue to hide behind her apron and baggy clothes or take a chance and share her scars with Reed, a man with a playboy reputation and scars of his own — a dark past he can’t possibly share with Peyton, not after learning the horrors she’s endured. But if they can find a way to trust each other, and themselves, they just might be able to heal, to save each other, to live perfectly broken together.

TITLE: PLAYING ALL THE ANGELS
AUTHOR: NICOLE LANE
RELEASE DATE: JUNE 10, 2014

 

Dominic Phillips is an enjoyable distraction from fashion designer Eve D’Amico’s loneliness, but there’s never been anything more between them than hot sex. Since he desires no commitment from her either, it’s pretty much the perfect arrangement…except for the fact that he’s dating her sister Isabelle.
Eve’s grown used to being seen as the promiscuous black sheep of her family ever since an unplanned pregnancy at age fourteen, and Isabelle is the only one in the D’Amico clan who doesn’t treat her like a second class citizen. Eve doesn’t exactly revel in the idea of hurting her sister if the truth ever comes out.
Just when she starts hitting it off with the sexy new neighbor next door, her world is turned upside-down when Dominic reveals his plans to marry Isabelle. As if things weren’t complicated enough, life decides to throw another surprise her way, and Eve is suddenly trapped with another secret to add to a much more shocking one from her past, both of which threaten to destroy every relationship she’s ever hoped to have. She must soon decide whether to reveal the truth and save her sister from a man who’s incapable of commitment, or to keep her lips sealed and secure her own place in the family. For now, though, she will dance around that decision for as long as she can, keeping everyone in check by Playing All the Angles.
Nicole Lane has loved romance novels since she was old enough to sneak them from her grandmother’s well-stocked shelves. She grew up reading Judith Krantz, Danielle Steele, and Jackie Collins, sharing dog-eared paperbacks and giggling with girlfriends over all the more instructional passages. She is living her very own, uneventful, happily-ever-after in a sea of sweat socks and Matchbox cars in Dallas, Texas.

Along The Watchtower by David Litwack @DavidLitwack #ATWTour @masqtours #review

A Tragic Warrior Lost in Two Worlds…
 
 



Author: David Litwack
Publication Date: June 13, 2013
Genre: ContemporaryFantasy (13+)
 

 

Along the Watchtower by David Litwack is a great story for the lovers of fantasy type books. The main character Freddie Williams was VERY likable. When the Iraq war ends, Lieutenant Freddie Williams has experienced an IED explosion that left damage. I think the novel depicts the war well and believe me nothing too graphic. I think it will appeal to a wide variety of readers.

Unlike other stories relating to the war, this character is well rounded and you feel his dreams and reality. He was also a gamer and expert in virtual warfare which is a new concept to me. Once he wakes up things between real and fantasy are not clear. The blurred lines confuse him. The author does a great job here with the medical aspect too. With the rehab description including nurses I was fascinated it became a real page turner.

If you are not familiar with virtual games like World of Warcraft and Runes of Magic this will give you a little more to love. It is an adventure for sure! Between the rehab, the therapy and the reality I was drawn in. Great novel!

The urge to write first struck when working on a newsletter at a youth encampment in the woods of northern Maine. It may have been the night when lightning flashed at sunset followed by northern lights rippling after dark. Or maybe it was the newsletter’s editor, a girl with eyes the color of the ocean. But he was inspired to write about the blurry line between reality and the fantastic.

Using two fingers and lots of white-out, he religiously typed five pages a day throughout college and well into his twenties. Then life intervened. He paused to raise two sons and pursue a career, in the process becoming a well-known entrepreneur in the software industry, founding several successful companies. When he found time again to daydream, the urge to write returned. His novels include: There Comes a Prophet, Along the Watchtower, and the newly released The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky.
 
David and his wife split their time between Cape Cod, Florida and anywhere else that catches their fancy. He no longer limits himself to five pages a day and is thankful every keystroke for the invention of the word processor.
