#newrelease #Mc- April’s Fool by EC Land

Leave a comment

The only thing more dangerous than a Grave Prowler is a Grave Prowler on a mission…
Fool
From the moment I saw her, I knew. She’s not just another woman. She’s mine.
Pure and untouched, I can’t resist her soft smile, her huge heart, or her sharp mind.
But she’s also unaware of the darkness that lurks just out of sight until it’s knocking on her door.
Evil can steal her away from me, but the coward that takes her doesn’t know who he’s messing with.
I’d tear down the world for her.
I’d burn it all to the ground.
I’ll dance on his ashes the minute I get her back.
Because this isn’t just a rescue, it’s a promise that no one will ever dare to threaten what’s mine again.
The club has a saying ‘Eye for and Eye. Tooth for a tooth.’ and they’ll get what’s coming to them. No one touches what’s mine and gets away with it.

#WOTR27 #Military – Fighting for Family by Cassie Colton

Leave a comment

Derrick “Leo” Armstrong built Serenity Securities as a refuge—an unbreakable brotherhood forged from military scars and second chances. On Serenity Mountain, he finally found the life he’d always dreamed of: a home, a purpose, and Catherine, the woman he’d loved for a lifetime. With three children and another on the way, Leo believed his world was complete.

Then one mission shattered everything.

Left reeling by the devastating news of her husband’s death, Catherine must navigate grief while protecting the family Leo adored. As the men of Serenity Securities rally to bring their fallen brother home, the mountain community surrounds Catherine with the same fierce loyalty Leo once gave them. But when a final letter from Leo forces her to face an impossible truth, Catherine makes the heartbreaking choice to call off the search. Her children need closure. Life must move forward.

Leo’s team refuses to accept it.

Driven by loyalty, love, and the lessons Leo carved into their souls, the men of Serenity Securities push deeper into danger, determined to uncover the truth about their mission and bring their brother home. Their greatest mission isn’t one they were trained for. It’s one they learned from Leo himself:

Family is worth fighting for.

#releaseboost – Claimed by the Mountain Man by Shaw Hart

Leave a comment

I ran from one man trying to own me… straight into another who actually will.

Scout
I should have known something was up when my father started acting nice and caring towards me.
He’s never been the nurturing type. He’s never really paid me much attention at all, too busy hiding from loan sharks or drinking himself to sleep.
Still, when he starts to pay attention to me, I can’t deny that a part of me is hoping that our relationship might finally be improving.
Then he leads me into the chapel and informs me that I’m there to marry one of the loan sharks that he owes.
So, I do the only thing that I can.
I run.
When my car breaks down on the side of the road, I think that I’m screwed.
Then he shows up and I know that I am.

Carter
I’ve been enjoying the peace and quiet of my cabin when a car breaks down out front and out steps an angel.
An angel in a wedding dress.
I know right then and there that fate has brought me this girl, that she belongs to me.
I don’t know who was stupid enough to lose her, but I won’t be making that mistake.
This girl is mine.
She’s in my cabin, sleeping in my bed, wearing my clothes.
She thinks that she can’t leave because I need to fix her car. She’s about to learn that I’m never going to let her go.
I’ve found my dream girl.
Now all that’s left is for me to claim her.

#Review #Zombies – Chaotic Undead (Stay Dead Book 5) by L.C. Mortimer

Leave a comment

Zombies never stay dead.

The apocalypse wasn’t supposed to be like this.

It wasn’t supposed to tear away everything they loved, everything they hoped for, everything they dreamed about.

But it did.

Winter, Isaiah, Greta, and Luke find themselves with a broken-down truck in the dead of night. They’ve made it to a small-town that doesn’t just have zombies – it has survivors, too.

But will the mysterious strangers holed up at the elementary school be helpful or harmful?

And how will they escape the horde that surrounds the house they’re hiding in?

Chaotic Undead is the fifth book in the Stay Dead series and should be read in order.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I am crazy for a great zombie book/series and absolutely have loved this series. However, this book left me a tad wanting. I am giving it 4 stars because the storyline is still great, but I felt like there were a couple holes for me. But I am not the author and maybe it is not how the characters were speaking to the author or what the characters wanted at the time of the story. What I do love is that the four of them are still close and are realizing that they are more of a family now, rather than just friends or just survivors that are surviving together. They really have weathered some crazy storms and zombie hordes, but I think their journey is really just getting started. Stay tuned for another review!

#Review #Audiobook – License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy: New Orleans Nocturnes, Book 1 by Carrie Pulkinen

Leave a comment

A laugh-out-loud funny paranormal romantic comedy featuring accidental fated mates, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, and a cast of quirky characters…all set in vibrant, chaotic New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

It’s all fun and games…until someone wakes up dead.

Governor’s daughter Jane Anderson is used to getting what she wants. When a girls’ trip to Mardi Gras thrusts her into the arms—and fangs—of New Orleans’ hottest vampire, he gifts her with immortality, super strength, and a complexion to die for.

There’s only one tiny problem. Jane faints at the sight of blood.

When Ethan Devereaux meets Jane, his cold, lifeless heart learns to beat again. Convinced she’s his late fiancée reincarnated, he turns her, claiming her as his own. But when Jane wakes up dead in Ethan’s attic, she’s loud, sassy, and downright ornery. He doesn’t know if he should kiss her or stake her, but one thing’s for certain…

She is so not his long-lost love.

But Ethan turned her, so he’s stuck with the chaotic glitter bomb of a fledgling, whether he likes it or not. Jane has three weeks to learn the ways of the vampire and get her license, or she’ll be staked. If Ethan can’t help her overcome her aversion to blood, his undead life might also be on the line.

License to Bite is the first book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series, filled with supernatural shenanigans, witty banter, campy humor, and a vampire who faints at the sight of blood.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

Frightfully fun! Jane has come to New Orleans for her travel blog. She is truly the glitter bomb that the blurb describes her as. She is not used to sitting still or keeping quiet. No one tells Jane Anderson what to do. Ethan is a broody vamp, just sick and tired of the mundane. He is just here. Then he sees Jane and he knows Jane is his dead fiancé reincarnated. Jane almost dies and Ethan “saves” her by turning her into a vampire. Jane ends up loving being a vampire but CANNOT stand the sight of blood and refuses to learn to feed. She has to learn and get her biting license or end up staked. Ethan, the rule follower, is constantly on edge with Jane and most of the time doesn’t know what to do with her. Jane, however, is shaking things up, speaking out of line, refusing to learn to feed, etc. Jane is finally growing on Ethan. I honestly think she would get under anyone’s skin. It was a fun, quick-paced story that I listened to in one sitting. I recommend and look forward to the next.

 

USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Pulkinen (pronounced PULL-kin-in) has always been fascinated with things that go bump in the night. Of course, when you grow up next door to a cemetery, the dead (and the undead) are hard to ignore. Pair that with her passion for writing and her love of a good happily-ever-after, and becoming a paranormal romance author seems like the only logical career choice.

#Review #Audiobook – The Nine: The Judas Files, Book 1 by C.G. Harris

Leave a comment

Book 1 of the 5-Part Series: The Judas Files

It’s not what you think…

Hell is bone-chilling.

Meet Gabe: a good guy making the best of eternity in a place not known for its hospitality. That is, until he’s recruited by Judas Iscariot (yes, that Judas) to join a covert team of double agents dedicated to thwarting the chaos unleashed on Earth.

Gabe, armed only with his quick wit and zero knowledge of the modern world, must navigate his new role alongside a beautiful, tough-as-nails partner. Together, they must prevent disaster without blowing their cover or revealing Gabe’s true identity.

If this unlikely hero can’t figure it out, facing Hell’s wrath will be the least of his worries…

Dive into The Nine, the first book in the action-packed, supernatural Judas Files urban fantasy series. If you love snarky characters, dark humor, and thrilling adventures (think Dresden Files meets the underworld), then you’ll be hooked. Winner of the Colorado Indie Author Project award for Adult Fiction!

Complete series available in Audio!

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I picked this book up on a whim and I am so happy I did! Gabe and I are a lot alike. We joke about all the wrong things at all the wrong times. For that, I connected with him right away. Right from the very beginning, I was sucked in. It was exciting and gritty and dirty and disturbing and humorous and just overall fan-freaking-tastic! Gabe runs a sort of store in Hell trading items for information. Similar to black market types of items/information. Due to his resourcefulness, he has been chosen to work for the Judas Agency as a double agent. The jobs that he and his new partner get into are quite sketchy. Gabe and his partner get closer by sharing some of their past secrets. However, this brings a whole new set of shenanigans with lots of action to the story. If something can happen here, it will. I wasn’t sure about the story, but I absolutely loved it and am looking forward to continuing the series. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was pretty awesome! Highly recommend it!

Hold onto your warp drives and wizard hats. Chuck Harrelson and Kerrie Flanagan are C.G. Harris, the award-winning coauthor team responsible for some of the most thrilling escapades in the multiverse.

Together, they write fast-paced science fiction and fantasy with snark, action, and plenty of chaos. Their books include the humorous urban fantasy series The Judas Files, the young adult alien invasion series The Rax, the YA cyberpunk thriller series The Cyber Conspiracies, and the humorous space opera series Viraquin Voyage.

When they are not busy crafting the next great American novel or penning a haiku about the existential dread of Mondays, you can find them in the throes of a culinary Cold War. Kerrie fiercely defends New York’s big, floppy, fold-it-like-a-newspaper slice, while Chuck argues for Chicago’s deep-dish cheese casserole with a crust.

To this day, the debate remains unresolved. But in the heated exchange of doughy discourse, one thing is clear: when it comes to pizza, the only real winner is whoever gets the last slice.

The Nine, the first book in The Judas Files, won the Indie Author Project regional book award for adult fiction in Colorado and was a finalist for the 2021 Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award.

#Review #Cozy #SmallTown – Cereal Killer (Blue Skies Bed and Breakfast Mystery Series) by Aubrey Elle

Leave a comment

Blue skies aren’t the only things people will find when they come to Grovepoint, the idyllic small town nestled in the scenic openness of the Midwest.

After an early retirement, Sadie Kenner returns to her hometown and finds a dead body.
She expects the drastic shift between being a high school teacher and taking over as the manager of her aunt’s bed-and-breakfast will come with challenges. But stumbling upon the body of a local baker near the dumpster is something else entirely.

Thrust into a new career in the wake of her aunt’s death, Sadie attempts to learn all she can about the business to reopen Blue Skies B&B after a temporary closure.

Figuring out how to handle the bad press about a body on-site is no small headache. The conundrum of choosing a new bakery to provide exclusive breakfast goods is an even bigger dilemma. Caught between rival bakers and townsfolk who seem too possessive and nosy for their own good, Sadie hopes for a smooth reopening.

Perhaps with the reluctant assistance from her moody niece, Mackenzie, she can help the local rookie cop investigate this murder before another one happens.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

This author did not wait to get you hooked and completely invested in the story right away. Unfortunately, Aunt Cyn has passed away and has left the bed and breakfast to Sadie and her brother, Rory. Sadie uses this as an opportunity to “retire early” and start a new life path. No one expected that one of her first days in town, she was going to discover the dead body of the baker her Aunt Cyn contracted with. As Sadie is trying to get her bearings to run the family business, she is dealing with the craziness that comes with being in a small town. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, knows everyone else’s business. With that being said, there are quite a few suspects, but Sadie and her new “family” at the bed and breakfast start to work through things and eventually things work out. Even with a dead body at the start and some really psychotic behavior happening within the town limits, this is a super cute cozy small-town mystery. I am hoping there is even a budding romance coming into future books. Can’t wait to see what other shenanigans will happen at Blue Skies Bed and Breakfast!

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I really enjoy this group of survivors! They are one of the most unlikely teams but they are definitely growing on each other. They are definitely in survival mode but things are slowing them down. They continue toward Kansas, trying to get Greta to her family. They all feel like they will accomplish something great if they can reunite Greta with her family but in this book, you can tell how defeated everyone is starting to feel. Luke is injured and is slowing everyone down, Greta is starting to feel slower, everyone is starting to feel some sort of doubt. While they haven’t run into a ton of zombies in this specific book, they are constantly dealing with storms, dealing with vehicles running out of gas, moving slow….They need time to heal and make a plan. The end of the world was happening and they were surviving, together! I can’t wait to join them on the next leg of their journey.

#review #romance #adventure Return to Sender by Stephanie Parente

Leave a comment

Opposites attract in this heartwarming debut romance about grief, sisterhood, and finding love when—and where—you least expect it.

“This book will be your shoulder to lean on, your friend to laugh with, the man you can’t help but fall in love with. I was completely swept away by Return to Sender. I read it in one joyous, tear-filled day.”—Cara Bastone, author of Ready or Not

Violet is usually an optimist. But between her father’s sudden death and the overnight responsibility of caring for her rebellious teenage sister, Phoebe, she’s barely holding it together. Then Phoebe discovers a love letter, never delivered and returned to the sisters’ address, begging its recipient to give him another chance. Phoebe seems excited for the first time since their dad died, and Violet will do anything to keep that smile on her face. Together, they set out to find the letter’s author, hoping to rectify a derailed happily-ever-after.

Despite Dex being rather abrasive (valid) and more than a little enigmatic (intriguing?), Phoebe talks him into a cross-country road trip to put the letter in the right hands. Violet is thrilled to see Phoebe thriving again. With every pit stop, they chip away at Dex’s moody exterior, and Violet realizes she might like what lies beneath . . . a lot. But what happens when they finally reach their destination—and Dex’s ex-girlfriend? Is what they’ve discovered on the road strong enough to make it back home?

I bought this book and here is my honest review

Violet has had her world turned upside down in a matter of months starting with her dad dying and having to take guardianship of her 15-year-old sister. her boyfriend broke up with her, and her best friend never left her side. After getting another call from the school about her sister Phobe’s behaver Violet has felt like she isn’t going to ever get a hold of things, till one day they end up with a return to sender letter addressed to an old tenant of their apartment. Phobe opened the letter and the old spark of excited that Violet hasn’t seen in her eyes came back. now they are invested in finding the former tenant and getting the letter to his mystery girl. these sisters are off on an adventure they both needed in this time of their life will they get what they are both hoping to find in the end, or will they be right back in the slump of life they have been in since their dad passed.

Stephanie Parente was born and raised in Rhode Island, always within twenty minutes of the ocean. She is a rom-com enthusiast passionate about writing messy characters falling in love. When she’s not writing her next romance, she spends most of her time reading, hiking with her rescue dog, and daydreaming.

i bought this book and here is my honest review

Emotional rollercoaster. Jack Stone is still on the hunt to kill the drug lords that just won’t die. And now after being kidnapped and seeing his girl and best friend betraying him Jac is now in jail under a different name fighting for his life. Will he make it out alive and get the answers he now is searching for or will he die with unanswered questions.

Maverick Montgomery lives in the Midwest with his wife of nine years and their three partners-in-crime, his two dogs, Austen and Ava, and cat, Jude. Considered a self-proclaimed gamer nerd who was holding a game controller long before he picked up a pen. a gear head at heart who can’t resist drooling over any vehicle whether it be classic or modern, Maverick grew up immersed in classic Alfred Hitchcock films, fueling his lifelong fascination with suspense and crime thrillers.

 

When he’s not writing, Maverick can be found tinkering with cars or dreaming of his next project, usually no more five in his mind at once or he can be hiding out in his man cave surrounded by comic books, stacks of video games, and story ideas waiting to be unleashed. Equal parts snark and grit, he pulls his inspiration from Dick Tracy and Punisher comics, or indulging his wife’s latest project antics while figuring out ways to avoid admitting she’s right.
