i love lucy tumblr_lnbmk2ZgMS1qbgyx2o1_500

 

She is rescued and I felt so hopeful. She meets Daniel and he is a young boy who gives her hope. There is a family that takes her in but they are so disturbed.

I love lucy whines uBk0eNG

Was she ready to give up? NO she has this strength. The author created the most resilient woman. I would have buried my head in the sand and cried until I died, but not Dakota. Daniel and Dakota have a few incidents that create how they are molded into these characters. Dakota needs saving and so does Daniel. She is even more determined to save him. She puts Daniel ahead of her own safety. The events here create a bond that nobody will ever break.

 

This was another amazing book in a series. Seriously you gotta grab it.

The Girl I Was Before (Falling #3) by Ginger Scott @TheGingerScott #review


 The Girl I was Before cover 24204235
  eeb46-review2bimage2b12Please read the other books in the series before you even attempt this one. They are closure books, but out of the characters in the series I think Nate, from a previous book is the complex male character, this book has Paige. I think we FINALLY get the answers to how this scandalous character has come to be.
Scandalous_Desktop
At the first intro to Paige and her friend/enemy Chandra you are appalled at the way she throws her sister under the bus. I admit it was so hard to read the first half of this book. I was disgusted by Paige and her need to fit in with the sorority. Thinking that Chandra was on a pedestal was outrageous. So, moving on…I will say that Houston’s character had a really unique story. There is a lot that happens to finally put the tiny pieces together for Houston. 

Puzzle-Pieces

I really found the backstory of Paige the most fascinating because, like I said it helps to get to the rotten roots and evil personality. Do I hate her? not anymore. I liked her twin sister so much more than I could ever have imagined. There is a tale of forgiveness here. Overall I think the evil Paige may just be the bruise in your apple, ya know the one you cut out and eat the rest? That one, yeah maybe she is even a little juicy.

one-bad-apple-makes-the-barrel-bad-300x295

Lastly there are a few minor characters that I needed to balance out the evil. Thankfully I liked Houston’s Mom, the best friend and sorta simple Casey, and lastly Leah. I want to add that I loved Chandra. Yeah I know the nemesis is to be hated and I did hate her but I loved to hate her. She is THE one that you love to hate. I think weaving a character as complex as Chandra was not easy, so therefore I appreciate the evil **^*#* even more!

An Ordinary Me by Brooklyn Taylor @authorbrooklynt @SNS_BAH


ordinary me Front Cover

From the outside looking in Garrison Davis seems like every other senior in high school. On the inside though, he’s an emotional wreck promising to not love anyone. He chooses to protect himself by vowing solitude. His dad is in prison for dealing drugs; his mother is a recovering addict and an emotional mess. The only thing that brings him joy is playing the drums and that feeling of being needed by his band. It is his escape, his passion. No one gets hurt or disappointed.  That is until he lays his eyes on Reese at school. She is the exact example of what he cannot let himself get involved in. He would do nothing but drag her down with him.

“I want to tell her and show her how much I love her. I had loved her from the first time I spotted her in that courtyard smiling but I can’t, I won’t. She deserves so much more than I can offer. I’m the spawn of a drug dealer and an addict. I have never let myself love another person and now…  I love her so much it hurts.”

Reese Owens is the exact opposite of Garrison. Inside she’s beaming; growing up in a happy home and on the outside she was a duck out of water. Her parents are the over protective set but are finally loosening the jail bars. Sophomore year in high school, she has never dated a boy and is envious of the social life her best friend Autumn Welch has. She meets Garrison and is instantly attracted to him. He pulls away when she pushes in. A whole new world opens up to Reese and she finds herself falling into situations she can’t get herself out of. Making bad decision after bad decision, she finds out the hard way on how life is full of choices.  The one thing she wants more than anything is Garrison’s attention which she doesn’t get in return.

“How is it possible to love someone and keep it quiet? Never to utter those very words knowing he doesn’t feel the same way. I finally fall in love and he only wants to be friends. He is everything I have always wanted and he keeps me at a distance making sure we don’t get too close. How can I ignore my feelings and act like I don’t have them when we are around each other? How do I resist the urge to move my lips towards his when he is talking to me?”

Garrison realizes he has to be honest with Reese and tell her how he really feels before he loses her for good. Just maybe, he will get love in return for the first time in his life. When he finally convinces himself to come forth, a life changing event occurs that could take away the only person in his life that truly loves him.

Is it too late? Does he get the chance to tell her? And when he confesses does it matter?

*Garrison*

Morning after morning, I wake myself up. I don’t have the normal mother or father to tell me to have a good day or make me breakfast. Sure I’m a senior in high school, but I’ve never had that. Even in elementary I took care of myself. My dad was dealing heavy drugs at the time and when he wasn’t dealing he was high or sleeping. Mom had tried several times to stay drug free but wasn’t successful with it. My dad wanted her just like him, destroyed. I have never really known what it was like to have parents that care. They didn’t understand why I hated the life we lived. More times than not they voiced their frustration that I thought I was better than them.

I listened to people talk about how their parents were annoying and watched them like hawks. They had to lie to do things they wanted to do when caring parents would try to provide them a net, so they wouldn’t get hurt, something that was only a dream for me. I yearned for that and knew I was never going to get it. I saw things I shouldn’t have seen but all it did was make me want to strive even more to make it, to get away from it. I was going to make it, and I was going to be nothing like my parents.

My evenings were pretty identical to my mornings. I did my homework, drummed with the band and then made myself something to eat. Mom worked at a hotel in housekeeping and when she was home she was either sleeping or sitting in her room in silence. I don’t know if she knew if I was dead or alive half the time nor would she have cared. Well that’s not true. If I was dead Aunt Ellen wouldn’t be paying our bills.

This is my senior year and all of my friends were going to be hanging out, partying, and having a good time, while I was just going to be living my life. It was a vicious cycle, and I was willing to do it because I knew I would survive it all. I was going to go to college and do the one thing that would piss my parents off the most and I would have full satisfaction in doing just that. It was going to make me happy to put people away that made and sold drugs and destroyed lives just like mine was.edaea-author2bimage2b15

I am a Texas girl, mother of 2 amazing kiddos and married to my gorgeous soulmate for almost 20 years. I have a full time job in the medical field but hope one day to strictly write. I love to spend my free time reading, being outside and playing with my family and 4 fur babies. I am blessed to have very supportive friends and family that make my life worth living! I started to write at the instinct of “hey maybe I can do that!” and here I am. I have enjoyed every step of the journey. Every single person I hear from about my stories touches me and confirms the reason why I ventured into this insane dream of mine.

Hendrix (Caldwell Brothers #1) by Chelsea Camaron and M.J. Fields @ChelseaCamaron @mjfieldsbooks #Review

“One bourbon, one shot, one night—that’s my world. Life is finally getting on track for me and my brothers. Things are far from perfect, but after removing the thorn from our sides, they damn sure are looking up.” –Hendrix Caldwell.

Hendrix Caldwell, is the oldest of the Caldwell brothers. He seemed to be stable brother from the beginning of the book. Being one of three, he is obviously the standout leader of the entire family. The other brothers better get their stories fast.

Then my absolute dream lover, Jared Caldwell enters the bar. WOW I really want him to get a story. He is a man of few words that tells deep jokes. I am in love with his character.

57fac-im2bso2binto2bu_nwra8rz6

 

Then the drama with Olivia. Where do I begin? The obvious humor in her character or the way I knew she was going to get Hendrix? Either way it dont matter much. I liked her and her work ethic. If I worked a bar and gave away more liquor than I should have, over poured, dropped glasses and spilled drinks I would hide and never come out, but not Olivia.

What happens when two worlds collide not once, but twice? WOW

smiley wow

There are so many books I want from this series. I am pleasantly surprised by MJ Fields and I have never read her books. Now I NEED to as soon as I can.

Chelsea Camaron was born and raised in Coastal North Carolina. She currently resides in Southern Louisiana with her husband and two children but her heart is always Carolina day dreaming.

Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice.

Chelsea grew up turning wrenches alongside her father, and from that grew her love for old muscle cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which just so happened to inspired her ‘Daddy’s Girls’ series. Her love for reading has sparked a new love for writing and she currently has a few more projects in the works.

When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in.

She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.

synopsis  image 12

“One bourbon, one shot, one night—that’s my world. Life is finally getting on track for me and my brothers. Things are far from perfect, but after removing the thorn from our sides, they damn sure are looking up.” –Hendrix Caldwell.

Hendrix Caldwell, the oldest of the Caldwell brothers, is the ever steady voice of reason out of the three Detroit—Rock City’s—wild boys. Focused, determined, and living with a chip on his shoulder, Hendrix is married to his bar, allowing no time for anything more than a casual hook up. Work hard, play harder—that is the Caldwell brothers’ way.

For Olivia Hemmingway, life is nothing except the school of hard knocks. Born as the consequence of a one night stand, Olivia didn’t have the childhood found in movies and books. However, she’s all grown up now and completely on her own. Drowning in debt, she is looking for a small break in life, but the hits just keep on coming.

One night, one charity event, two masks hiding them from the world and each other… Two people let go and share the best of each other in a luxury hotel’s storage closet for one night they both can’t forget. One night they both revisit in their dreams.

What happens when two worlds collide not once, but twice? When they find out who was behind the mask, will sparks fly, or will their past demons keep them apart?

ICE (Regulators MC Book 1) by Chelsea Camaron & Jessie Lane @JessieLaneBooks @ChelseaCamaron #Review

7d502-review2bimage6

 

From Best Selling Authors Chelsea Camaron and Jessie Lane…

She’s an investment banker.
He’s an outlaw biker.
A little bit of heaven is about to meet a whole lot of hell.

Morgan Powell is THE perfect daughter, worker and sister. These authors are great and I am a fan of them both so I wanted to see if I could tell who wrote what, and I think, being the super-fan I am, can tell who wrote what parts. The MC genre needed a different take on things, and this one delivers. The Regulator MC is not typical n the genre, they are an elite group. I wont say what they do or their purpose, but it is different.

plot 3

The main character Morgan give me a lot to look forward to. I know her and her sisters have staying power. Now moving on to Brett “Ice” Grady well he is a military man who has a great story.

Sappy_Fest_Logo

Dont miss his past, it is too good. His Mom and his daughter are written in a way making them perfect compliments that give his story more meaning.

moving on fsWX1rxp0iwo1_500 Along with Ice we meet a few players like Coal and Hammer. I clearly know Jessie Lane is behind these guys. She writes special ops and military men so well. There is a part of Coal that I love. He is dark and dangerous so I want more of him. I HATE spoilers so I will only say Chapter 18 was the best in the book. It was super dark and gritty and I am a fan of dark and gritty.

When the friendship between Ice’s daughter Brooke and Morgan’s sister Madyson is the set up for the meeting between the two. Yes there is a love underneath both of the main characters but the story of the Cuban mafia lord Sandoval was what got me totally hooked. I loved how Chelsea wrote a mob story in her MC books so this was a treat.

As for the sub plot characters, there is drama in Morgan’s family sweettreatstree. Gosh shake that tree and make them rotten apples fall of.  Morgan her sister Madyson and Mallory  was raised to be perfect, to say that the only one who lives up to the standards is Morgan.

Two worlds do collide in a very interesting way. Fans of MC books, contemporary romance and romantic suspense will enjoy this one. I say it is a must read!

Maverick

 

Excerpt

Lost in thought, trying to remember my dad’s damn list, I am not paying attention to anything around me while stopping at the bags of salad. I don’t look up as I push my cart in front of me so I can lean down to grab the right one. I feel the cart bump something and hear a slight whimper.

Looking up, I smile at the woman in front of me as she turns around to face me. Whoa, I didn’t expect the anger she has going on over an accidental bump.

“Slick, watch out, why don’t ya? I’m sure this little ploy of yours works on every other chick, but not me, okay? So think about that next time.”

“Slick, huh? Well, my friends call me Tappper, but whatever. I’m sorry. It really was an accident, not some ploy.” I say, lifting up the bag of mixed greens so she can see I was getting something.

“Apology accepted. Moving on. Have a good day, Mr. Tapper.” She smiles and it hits me who she is.

She pushes at her cart, and I hear her mutter, “Appropriate name, Tapper. Humph.”

“Kenzy,” I call out to her back as she strolls away from me.

Her gorgeous, dark hair swings around her as she turns back to face me, Confusion etches her features, and I realize she doesn’t recognize me.

“Maverick,” I say, introducing myself.

“Oh my, you’re … um … dirty,” she says, covering her mouth in embarrassment of her unfiltered response.

“Baby, you have no idea,” I reply with a smile and a wink. “You look good, Kenzy. It’s been a long damn time.”

“Y-yeah.” Composing herself, she smiles finally. “I just moved back.”

“Good, I’ll see ya around, then.”

“Sure thing.” She turns back to her cart and heads off to finish her shopping, her ass swaying with each step.

I can’t help wanting to take my hand to that ass and make it a nice shade of pink. Kenzy has certainly grown into a beautiful woman from her awkward teenage years. She had an innocent yet definitely rough beauty in her youth, one that you had to see past the outer appearance to the heart of the girl. Now she is carrying herself in a refined but shy way. I don’t think she realizes how gorgeous she is.

She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.
