Review @Abbie_Roads - Saving Mercy by Abbie Roads (Fatal Truth #1)




Saving Mercy
Fatal Truth #1
by Abbie Roads

Goodreads blurb:  First in a chilling new paranormal romantic suspense series from award-winning author Abbie Roads

He's found her at last
Cain Killion knows himself to be a damaged man, his only saving grace the extrasensory connection to blood that he uses to catch murderers. His latest case takes a macabre turn when he discovers a familiar and haunting symbol linking the crime to his own horrific past-and only one woman could know what it means.

Only to lose her to a nightmare
Mercy Ledger is brave, resilient, beautiful-and in terrible danger. The moment he sees Mercy, Cain knows he's the one who can save her. He also knows he's beyond redemption. But the lines between good and evil blur and the only thing clear to Cain and Mercy is that they belong together. Love is the antidote for blood-but is their bond strong enough to overcome the evil that stalks them?


About the Author: 
Seven Things about Abbie Roads:
1.  She loves Snicker Parfaits. Gotta start with what’s most important, right?
2. She writes dark emotional books featuring damaged characters, but always gives her hero and heroine a happy ending… after torturing them for three hundred pages.
3. By day she’s a mental health counselor known for her blunt, honest style of therapy. At night she burns up the keyboard. Well… Burn might be too strong a word. She at least sits with her hands poised over the keyboard, waiting for inspiration to strike. And when it does—the keyboard might get a little warm.
4.  She can’t stand it when people drive slowly in the passing lane. Just saying. That’s major annoying. Right?
5.  She loves taking pictures of things she thinks are pretty.
6.  She’s represented by Michelle Grajkowski of 3 Seas Literary.
7.  Her first book will be out October 2016 through Sourcebooks.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!

The cover is perfect, but you may not notice things until you read the book!

This is the first book in a new series!  It is definitely a adult book with the violence and steamy scenes.  Abbie is a fantastic author that has introduced me to a new style that is both gruesome and beautiful.  Her books amaze me because it is so life like and scary at times.  She has quickly found her way to my favorites list!

My heart broke for everything Cain and Mercy have endured.  I don’t know that I would have survived everything they have.  Cain scared me a little at the start with his gift, but it makes sense once you understand his gift and what his father put him through.  I’m not sure who has endured more Cain or Mercy, but this dark tale grabs hold and you become entrenched in the characters.  This was an emotional rollercoaster that was like an accident scene you couldn’t look away from.

I highly recommend to anyone who loves Fatal Dreams, crime solving and a thrilling mystery with the perfect amount of romance!  I can’t wait to see what Abbie comes up with next!

Review @PaigeTyler - Her Perfect Mate by Paige Tyler (X-Ops #1)




Her Perfect Mate
X-Ops #1
by Paige Tyler

Goodreads blurb:  When Special Forces Captain Landon Donovan is picked for an assignment with the Department of Covert Affairs, he’s stunned to find his new partner is a beautiful woman who looks like she couldn’t hurt a fly, much less take down a terrorist.

Ivy Halliwell isn’t your average covert op. Her feline DNA means she can literally bring out the claws when things get dicey. She isn’t thrilled to be paired with yet another military grunt, but Landon is different. He doesn’t think she’s a freak and he’s smokin’ hot.

Soon they find themselves facing a threat even greater than anyone imagines...and an animal magnetism impossible to ignore.


About the Author:  Paige is a USA Today Bestselling Author. She graduated from The
University of West Florida with a degree in education in 2000, but decided to pursue a full-time career as a writer in 2004. Since then, she’s written over fifty books in several genres, including paranormal,
contemporary, western, sci-fi and erotica. She loves writing about strong, sexy, alpha males and the feisty, independent women who fall for them. From verbal foreplay to sexual heat, her stories of romance, adventure, suspense, passion and true love will leave you breathlessly panting for more.

She and her very own military hero (also known as her husband) live on the beautiful Florida coast with their adorable fur baby (also known as their dog). Paige graduated with a degree in education, but decided to pursue her passion and write books about hunky alpha males and the kickbutt heroines who fall in love with them.

When not working on her latest book, Paige enjoys reading, jogging, P90X, Yoga, Pilates, going to the beach, watching NFL football, watching movies and hanging out with her husband (not necessarily in
that order!)

Some Fun Facts about Paige…

She loves anything and everything Disney related, and has pictures with every Disney character to prove it.

Her favorite Disney characters are Tigger, Pooh, Goofy and Tinkerbell.

She's addicted to dark chocolate, Pinterest and Sephora.

She'll tell you she's not exactly the outdoor type, but yet she loves the beach.

She studied ballet for twelve years.

She went to art school, and yes, figure drawing was her favorite class (probably because all the nude models were male!)

She collects Barbie Dolls, plush animals and Jim Shore Disney.

She's just as likely to have Rhianna, Lady Gaga, Pitbull, Ke$ha, Black Eyed Peas and LMFAO on her iPod as she is Billy Idol, Foreigner and Golden Earring (if you can dance to it, it's probably on there!)

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  I own a paperback copy of this book!

This is book 1 in this series, but there is a prequel too!  This is for adults only due to the steamy and violent content.

I definitely loved this book, and I couldn’t put it down.  Tons of action and conflict which is my favorite kind of book!  I shouldn’t have taken so long to get this book in my reading rotation, but you know how it is when you are a book addict!  So many awesome books, and never enough time to read them all! 

Ivy is definitely a kick butt heroine which is my favorite kind of leading lady!  I love when I get to read about girls kicking butt and being underestimated!  This is a unique take on shifters where they don’t completely shift and only take on characteristics of their animal.  Landon is a Special Forces officer who can definitely kick butt, but he knows how to be on a team and how to treat a lady and trust her.  They are definitely a perfect match!  This book had a lot of awesome people I hope to see more of and a few jerks that I don’t mind hating!  I can’t wait to read the next book because I own them all!

I highly recommend this book to all who love shifter books with tons of action!

Review @SableSylvan - Beauty and The BBQ by Sable Sylvan (The Feminine Mesquite #2)




Beauty and The BBQ
The Feminine Mesquite #2
by Sable Sylvan

Goodreads blurb:  Recipe for a red hot romance: one part bear shifter, one part BBW, a bit of BDSM, and a whole lot of BBQ!

The last thing Abigail 'Abby O' Olivia Quincy needs in her life is drama. After dumping her loser ex, she goes home to Fallowedirt, Texas for winter break to focus on her thesis...but the curvy gal is distracted by polar bear shifter Clove Scoville. The future beta of the Viking bred Scoville Polar Clan of Oslo, Norway is at his brother's Manor to escape something else…but he can’t escape his attraction to his future sister-in-law. Will Fate need a little help from Santa Claus to show these two that the best gift they can give each other for Christmas is true love?

Beauty and the meat...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a BBW in possession of a healthy appetite must be in want of a BBQ, and the eldest heir to the Quincy sauce company, Alice Quincy, and her kin are no exception. While Alice and her fiancé Herb are busy formulating The Feminine Mesquite's next sauce, Abby is stuck in her study, working on her thesis...while working on ignoring the handsome shifter who, even working quietly the next table over, manages to get her goat. She doesn't have time for drama...but does she have time for true love?

Booty for the beast...

Someone once said that it was a truth universally acknowledged that man in possession of a great fortune must be in want of a wife, but while that was true for Herb Scoville, alpha of the polar clan, his brother Clove thought it was just a line from a fairytale. After all, only princes found a princess at the end of the story, not beasts like Clove...but when he sees the beauty who has haunted his every waking moment in the flesh in his brother's parlor, will he start to reconsider?

Beauty and the feast...

The two can't ignore the attraction they have for each other. After all, it's not like they could ignore it at their older siblings' engagement party. The only thing hotter than the new 'Awesome Sauce' their siblings are brewing is the sexual tension brewing between Abby and Clove. Will a game at the Mesquite Manor barbecue involving handcuffs bring this couple together...or tear them even further apart?

The Feminine Mesquite is a five book series featuring the five curvy Quincy Sisters and the five alpha male polar bear shifters who are the heirs to the Scoville fortune. Can the ten heirs learn to get along, and will they find comfort in each other’s arms...or in each other’s beds? Each book is at least 25,000 words long, comprising a full-length novella. There are no cliffhangers, and every book ends with a guaranteed happily ever after (after all, these are fairy tales). These fairy tale romances feature everything you love from a bear shifter romance. Each book is a standalone, however, there is an overarching story. Don’t fret: if you haven’t read preceding book in the series, a short recap will be included in the first part of each book to get you up to speed...and you’ll want to read all five books because the last book’s epilogue features --, wait, why am I telling you? You’re going to need to read them all and find out for yourself!

Look for all five books in this series on Amazon, all $0.99 or FREE via Kindle Unlimited (KU). “The Cinderella Cook-Off”, “Beauty And The BBQ”, “Spicy Beauty”, “The Matchstick Grill”, and “Little Red Hot Sauce” all have hot sauces and teas for making iced sweet tea that tie into the books, which you can find on www.shopsablesylvan.com.


About the Author:  The only thing I love more than reading hot paranormal romances is writing down my fantasies and sharing them with readers like you. My heroes are strong alpha male bear shifters who can be grizzly and gruff at times...but when it comes to their fated mates, they're absolute teddy bears. My curvy heroines are strong, sassy women, which is why the werebear men who love them will do anything for their love.

All my books are $0.99, at least full length novella length, feature an HEA, and are exclusively available on Amazon.com! They are all FREE via Kindle Unlimited!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!! And I bought my own copy already!

This is the 2nd book in this series, but it is still in Sable’s awesome shifter world where you know your mate when your mark glows and changes.  Of course the bear yelling at you may indicate this as well!  This book is for adults only due to the steamy content.  While it isn’t mandatory to read them in order, you will be missing out if you don’t read them in order to know and love all the sassy sisters and Herb.

This is Abby and Clove’s story.  Of course, there is drama and misunderstandings, but it makes it that much better.  I love how they irritate each other, but always come together.  They are like magnets pushing each other away and then one of them reverses to pull them back together.  I like both of them, but Alice is still my fav!

I recommend this book to any HEA fan who loves bear shifters and sassy women!

Review @KerrelynSparks - How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days by Kerrelyn Sparks (The Embraced #1)




How to Tame a Beast 
in Seven Days
The Embraced #1
by Kerrelyn Sparks

Goodreads blurb:  Luciana grew up on the Isle of Moon, hidden away because of her magical powers. But when her father arrives, he offers her a choice: remain on the island or return with him and marry the Beast of Benwick in order to save their legacy—and her father's life.

Lord Leofric, the Beast of Benwick, has not been touched since he was a child. Born with the power to harness lightning, he is a danger to everyone he touches. When he meets his betrothed, he expects a loveless, lonely marriage...until he discovers she's vastly more powerful than he realized. But is she strong enough to withstand his touch?

If they can survive, their love will alter the future of the kingdom. But will their extraordinary powers cost them everything?


About the Author:  Kerrelyn Sparks apparently has issues with reality. After writing more than a dozen books about vampires, she has now completely gone off the deep end and wound up on another planet. But how thrilling that she can share this magical new world with her readers! Although she is best known (so far) for the Love at Stake series, which has hit as high as number 5 on the New York Times list and 22 on the USA Today list, she hopes her readers will love The Embraced as much as they did her merry band of vamps and shifters. To learn more about her paranormal, historical, and upcoming out-of-this-world fantasy romances, please visit Kerrelyn on Facebook, Twitter, or her website.

Kerrelyn loves hearing from readers, even those who howl at the moon. Letters may be sent to P.O. Box 5512, Katy, TX 77491-5512. If you would like bookmarks and signed bookplates, please mail a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope to her P.O. Box, and she will send those items to you.

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  And I’m picking up a paperback of it tomorrow!

The cover is a work of art!

This is the first book in a new series, and it is awesome!  This is paranormal romance…my favorite!  There are steamy scenes, so adults only.

I can’t believe it, but this is my first review for Kerrelyn’s work.  I own and have read most of the Love at Stake series, and I even got my mom addicted to her work too!  But it was before I started writing reviews!  I guess I will have to go back and read the series and write reviews because I love her books and her writing style.  She is definitely one of my fav authors!

This book had everything I love in a story!  Adventure, conflict, drama, mystery, magic, and romance that ensured I couldn’t put the book down, I loved every moment!  Luciana is an awesome leading lady and easy to love!  She is strong and kind and will not back down for those she loves!  There are some especially humorous moments with her sister, but I won’t spoil it for you!  Leo is a great match, and I definitely fell in love with his protectiveness and how he is always will to stand up for everyone and fight for them regardless of who they are.  This is a fantastic start to a series that I can’t wait to read more of!

I highly recommend to any paranormal adventure loving reader who wants everything in their books like shifters, gifts, ghosts, fighting, murder, and more!

Friday Reveal @Month9Books & Giveaway - Summoner Rising by Melanie McFarlane (Laws of Summoning #1)



I am so excited that SUMMONER RISING by Melanie McFarlane releases today and that I get to share the news!
If you haven’t yet heard about this wonderful book by Author Malanie McFarlane, be sure to check out all the details below.

This blitz also includes a giveaway for a DVD of THE CRAFT, US Only courtesy of Month9Books. So if you’d like a chance to win, enter in the Rafflecopter at the bottom of this post.



About The Book:

Title: SUMMONER RISING
Author: Melanie McFarlane
Pub. Date: March 28, 2017
Publisher: Month9Books
Format: Paperback, eBook
Pages: 300

Excerpt from, The Book of Summoning:
Law One: A summoner is responsible for all creatures it lets through from the netherworld.

Dacie Cantar wishes someone had explained the Laws of Summoning to her before she watched a shadowy creature crawl out of a painting at the local arcade. At least it explains the strange things she's witnessed since moving in with her great-aunt, after her mother’s untimely death. But who wants to be followed by shadows the rest of their life? Add that to being stalked by a strange boy at school, who just might be her Tovaros (aka soulmate), it’s about all Dacie can handle in her new life.

As she nears her seventeenth birthday, will she be ready for her new responsibilities, or will the shadows that stalked her mother until her death, finally consume Dacie, too? And then there’s Law Two…

Excerpt:
When we pull up at the front of the house, everything is dark. Katya must be out. I stay quiet as I close the door and walk onto the front porch.

“Don’t be mad,” Tryan says grabbing my hand and pulling me back against his chest. He looks down into my face. “Demons aren’t trustworthy,” he says. “Just remember that.”

I relax my body against his and Tryan leans down and kisses me. His lips are soft and gentle, and I melt against him. The stress of this last month melts away.

A shiver runs through my body and Tryan mistakes it for a chill. “Let’s go inside,” he says, pulling my hand toward the door.

As Tryan grabs the handle, the door creaks open. It’s not locked? He looks back at me with a frown creased across his brow. I push past him into the house.

“Katya?” I call out into the darkness. Nothing. Lights flicker into the kitchen through the open patio doors on the other side of the house.

“Come on,” Tryan says pulling me outside with a finger to his lips. “This way.”

We slowly creep around the side of the house, following the flickering lights to the back yard. Between the tall fence and the wooden siding of the house, we’re sitting ducks. We slow down as we reach the back corner and Tryan grabs my hand.

“Let me go first,” he says. “Please. Trust me.”

I nod and hold back as Tryan passes in front of me. He peers around the corner, then holds up a hand for me to stop as he disappears into the backyard.

I shuffle around the corner, but Tryan is nowhere to be seen. Lights are hanging along the fence to the back of the property, flickering on and off.

“Tryan?” I whisper. No answer. I look back. Where is he?

 “Tryan?” I call out a little louder this time.

About Melanie: 

Melanie McFarlane is a passionate writer of other-wordly adventures, a little excitable, and a little quirky. Whether it’s uncovering the corruption of the future, or traveling to other worlds to save the universe, she jumps in with both hands on her keyboard.

Review @ZoeChantebooks - Second Chance Lion by Zoe Chant (Cedar Hill Lions #4)




Second Chance Lion
Cedar Hill Lions #4
by Zoe Chant

Goodreads blurb:  A curvy independent woman + a protective alpha lion + old memories and new beginnings = one heartwarming story of second chance romance!

Faye Furlong never thought she’d return to Cedar Hill after she was forced to leave when she was just sixteen. She's traveled the world, but there’s two things in her hometown that she can't forget: the old house she dreamed of fixing up, and Lincoln Whittaker, the boy who stole her heart. Now she’s back in town to renovate the house. But is she ready to rekindle her romance with Lincoln?

Lincoln Whittaker was born to be alpha of his pride and put duty over love. Though he was too young to be sure that the girl who captured his heart all those years ago was really his mate, he never forgot her. Now he's a single dad with grown sons, and believes that true love long since passed him by. When Faye unexpectedly walks back into his life, he has the second chance he never thought he’d get. But will his overprotective alpha instincts drive her away?

Can Faye let down her guard and give Lincoln a place in her heart? Can Lincoln learn that there's more to life than being the perfect alpha? Will their love get a second chance to bloom?

Second Chance Lion is a sizzling hot, standalone BBW lion shifter romance, fourth in the Cedar Hill Lions series. No cliffhangers!   


About the Author:  Zoe Chant loves writing paranormal romance. Over a cup of tea (or something stronger) she whips up sexy tales of hunky heroes and adventurous heroines to tantalize and satisfy her readers. Sizzling hot romance, no cliffhangers!

The cover has two amazing looking beasts on the cover, and I’m a cat person!

This is the 4th book in this series!  It is for adults only due to the steamy content.  While it is not mandatory to read the series in order, you will be missing out if you don’t.  The characters and their interactions are much richer when you read the series in order.  This is of course another HEA which Zoe does an amazing job having the perfect formula to grab your attention and keep it until the end.  I definitely couldn’t put it down!

I was happy to see Lincoln get his happily ever after with Faye.  They are both stubborn, independent, and perfect for each other.  They both had their own issues to work through and compromise with each other.  I wonder what will come next with this pride!

I highly recommend this book and series to all the lion shifter fans out there especially if you love HEAs!

Review @SableSylvan - The Cinderella Cook-Off by Sable Sylvan (The Feminine Mesquite #1)




The Cinderella
Cook-Off
The Feminine Mesquite #1
by Sable Sylvan

Goodreads blurb:  Bears + BBWs + BBQ + BDSM = Too Hot To Handle!

The last thing that the curvy Quincy sisters expect is to meet their rivals, the Scoville brothers, in the flesh at the reading of their grandfather’s will. What the heck are a bunch of Norwegian billionaires doing at a fair in the middle of Texas? Planning a corporate takeover, of their family’s hot sauce company, The Quincy Sauce Co. These shifters have another thing coming if they think that these BBWs are about to give up their family’s recipes without a fight, and the eldest Quincy and Scoville siblings become arch rivals…with an undeniable primal attraction to one another that they can’t explain.

Hot sauce hotties and ice-cold shifters…

What the heck do a bunch of Nordic polar bear shifters know about running an American hot sauce company? Well…more than meets the eye. With a history tracing back from before the East India Company, all the way to the Silk Road and the Viking Age, these shifters know everything there is to know about the spice trade. What they don’t know is how to woo a mate. That’s right, from the moment that the eldest Scoville brother, Herbert ‘Herb’ Scoville, sees the curvy heir to the Quincy Sauce Company, Alice ‘Allie Penny’ Quincy, he knows that this firebrand is a special woman. Herb loves the hunt, and he’s never failed to catch his prey…but Alice is no ordinary woman. She’s as saucy as her family’s hot sauce, and she’s not going to give up the recipes to the sauces that Herb claims her grandfather stole from his that easily. When Alice suggests a cook-off at the Bright Star County Fair, it’s on. Herb’s got his eye on the prize…and the trophy doesn’t look half bad either.

Just who does this billionaire think he is, turning Alice on like a propane grill…

From the moment Alice sees Herb, she knows he’s everything she doesn’t want in a man. He’s pompous, gets what he wants, how he wants, and he’s competitive to a fault…so why does she feel a link to him that she just can’t ignore? His steely grey eyes remind her of a night filled with masks, ballgowns, ratty sneakers…and neck ties and belts wrapped around her wrists and the bedposts of a certain hotel room, in a certain city, on a certain night that seems to be so far in the past that it might as well be a fairy tale. Herb looks just as good in a custom tailored European suit as he does shirtless, handling a grill with a finesse that nearly rivals hers, but this polar has more than just a hot body to offer. The only thing hotter than their sauces is their banter, but Alice’s heart belongs to another…a shifter whose name she doesn’t even know. Can she learn to let go of her past, or does Fate want her to keep nursing a broken heart? Will Herb take away Alice’s pain…or will he take away her grandfather’s legacy?

Small towns and billionaires don’t mix like tea and lemonade…

These billionaires have never been denied anything before, solving every problem with a credit card or check, but to earn the trust of the curvy and saucy sisters, they’re going to have to earn the love of their small town. Instead of using what’s in their wallets, they’ll have to use what’s in their hearts. Can the Quincy Sisters hot sauce melt their cold Nordic hearts, or will they have to heat them up in the bedroom? These shifters are going to have to learn their lesson the hard way, the hot way, the spicy way...if they have any chance at all of understanding The Feminine Mesquite.

The Feminine Mesquite is a five book series featuring the five curvy Quincy Sisters and the five alpha male polar bear shifters who are the heirs to the Scoville fortune. Can the ten heirs learn to get along, and will they find comfort in each other’s arms...or in each other’s beds? Each book is at least 25,000 words long, comprising a full-length novella. There are no cliffhangers, and every book ends with a guaranteed happily ever after (after all, these are fairy tales). These fairy tale romances feature everything you love from a bear shifter romance. Each book is a standalone, however, there is an overarching story. Don’t fret: if you haven’t read preceding book in the series, a short recap will be included in the first part of each book to get you up to speed...and you’ll want to read all five books because the last book’s epilogue features --, wait, why am I telling you? You’re going to need to read them all and find out for yourself!

Look for all five books in this series on Amazon, all $0.99 or FREE via Kindle Unlimited (KU). “The Cinderella Cook-Off”, “Beauty And The BBQ”, “Spicy Beauty”, “The Matchstick Grill”, and “Little Red Hot Sauce” all have hot sauces and teas for making iced sweet tea that tie into the books, which you will be able to find on www.shopsablesylvan.com

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!! And I bought my own copy already!

This is the first book in a new bear series, BUT it is in the same fabulous world as all of Sable’s bear books.  Bear Buns is even mentioned in this book!  Sable has a unique world with mate marks and how being a mate is confirmed.  Her books are always HEAs, and I’ve been loving the HEAs lately.

Alice is an independent gal who helps in keeping her sisters on the right path.  I love her feisty attitude and sass.  Herb is the same for his brothers.  I didn’t like Herb much at the start, but neither did Alice.  He turned himself around and changed my mind. 

Plenty of sass and spice to entertain all shifter lovers especially if you already love Sable’s shifter world!
