4 of 5 stars

Artist Zoe Jones has had her world flipped upside in mores way that one.  Healing not just from a physical injury, but also a shot to the heart, love is not something she wants.  Healing takes time and care Zoe learns. Sometimes the right medicine comes in an unconventional way.

Jessie Johnson is walking the path of what is expected of him. Being the son of a General, Jessie knows what lies down that road.  He wants more than what a star can bring him. Jessie wants life and family.

With a little help from the matriarch of the Santini family, Jessie and Zoe realize what the both truly need is right in front of them. With a nudge and some well spent time together Zoe and Jessie learn that complete opposites can fit together like puzzle pieces.  Just read and you will see.

TEMPT ME is a perfect example of why I love Melissa Schroeder’s writing.  The book is fun, sexy and a great setup for TOUCH ME.  We get to visit with the lovely Joey Santini(whom I love and feel has a second sense about life). Intense passion with characters that make you fall in love with them at the swipe of the page.   By the end of the book I feel like I know Zoe, Jessie and Jack.  So love that about Mel’s books!!

A side note- I already love Jack, whose story we get in TOUCH ME! The laughter I had  from the phone calls between Jack and Jessie alone make this a great read!!

Selena’s Men

Ravens of War book 1

Elle Boon

Max and Malcolm King had been part of an Elite group of twelve men created by Zeus, called the Ravens of War. When they were no longer needed they were sent to Earth in hopes they’d find happiness. After hundreds of years, they‘d given up hope of finding their Fated, until they met Selena Ramos.

But the Gods aren’t done with them. Zeus needs them to find his lost daughter and time is running out for all of them. As the three lovers are consumed with passion, they find themselves thrust in a fight for their lives.

Cronus the dethroned King of the Gods has found the missing Goddess and plans to use her as the ultimate weapon for revenge. He’ll use her to regain the throne on Mount Olympus, killing his son Zeus at the same time. Max and Malcolm are willing to do anything, even share Selena, but they will die before they give her up.

4 of 5 stars!

Ms. Boon rocked it!  Selena’s Men, the debut novel by Elle Boon is a fast paced, over the top sexy, action packed read that will keep you turning the pages!  Ms. Boon put a new twist to Greek myths that readers have come to love!  Be prepared, when you start reading, you will not stop until you read the end!

I loved Selena!  Sassy and independent.  A small woman with silver-blond hair.  She has a flair for life and strength that run deep.  Passionate, caring and fun, you want Selena on a girls night out!

Max and Malcolm King, twin immortal warriors for Zeus. Sexy, strong and larger-than-life. The brothers like a comic duo. Their back-and-forth banter had me laughing out loud.  They’re not only Brothers they’re bonded his warriors. Both men are Alpha to the core.  Even tho Malcolm and Max are twins, it does not take long to realize Max being the leader of the Ravens is more on the serious side of life.  Max on the other hand is more laid back and ready to crack a joke!  Did I mention they are uber HOT!!!!

Selena’s Men is a great start to Ms. Boon Ravens of War series. Ms. Boon wrote a book with such vivid detail I could clearly picture everything going on from the pages to my mind like a movie.  She gave us characters that are more than likable. Some larger-than-life. She wrote them with such detail that you felt like you could have known them in real life.  From the world building, to the dialogue, and the humor of this book it’s a winner hands-down.

The humor and heat alone in this book has put Elle Boon on my auto buy list!

I was gifted a copy of this book by the author for an honest review!

SURVIVE TO DAWN

The zombie epidemic in London has been contained, but that’s all the werewolf pack that protects the city has been able to manage. Danny, as pack medic, is concerned the epidemic isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. And that the pack’s Alpha is too focused on eliminating the deadly threat to consider working toward a cure. When a team of American scientists arrive, talking of a vaccine, Danny is quietly hopeful.

Deanna thought she was prepared for anything. But an argument with the London pack leaves her research team exposed and alone, on their own against countless hordes of the walking dead. Within hours, her colleagues are slaughtered…and it’s only because of Danny that she manages to get out alive.

Deanna unhinges Danny in every way, tempting him beyond reason. She also pushes him to face the one thing he’d been avoiding: his Alpha is wrong. Simply surviving isn’t the answer…it can’t be

5 of 5 stars

American scientist Deanna and her team come to London in hopes to test a vaccine against the Zombie virus. Not only does she lightly step on London pack Alpha Seth toes, she hit the heart strings of the pack medic Danny.  Was it love at first sight?  I think so!

Deanna and Danny have a more tender sweetness to them.  I enjoyed them together.  Deanna was not afraid to be who she was.  She made Danny walk the line. The pair complement each other well. They share a common ground that only a scientist could!  They embarked in danger knowing both the bad and good the could come from it! Doing it, holding their heads high!

Ms.Schnyder brilliantly delivered nothing less than epic in this book.  The action in both battle and bed were page turning. Battling through both Zombies and Vampires to to uncover truths that were truly not was this reader expected. Twist? YES!  Any questions lingering from the previous books are answered.  We got to visit with some old friend while falling in love with new.

I have recommended BITE ME and SING FOR THE DEAD to more people that I can count.  I will now be doing the same with SURVIVE TO DAWN! This is a trilogy of books that I will being reading again and again!

I received a copy of this book via netgalley for an honest review!

TRUSTING CHANCE

Caitlyn O’Leary

Fate Harbor series

Josie Decker and Chance Reynolds knew each other years ago when they were in the same foster home, before Josie’s birth mother reclaimed her. Now, Chance and his best friend, Sam Booth an Afghan war veteran are living in Fate Harbor, Washington, when Josie reestablishes ties with her foster parents and opens a bakery in the quaint town.

Chance realizes that growing up with her birth mother has left Josie with physical and emotional scars and a deep belief that she is unworthy of love. Fate Harbor is very accepting of triad alliances, and Chance believes that the relationship that will ultimately heal Josie is one that includes both he and Sam. Sam’s recent trauma, fighting for his country, has left him beyond hurt.

Chance has despaired of saving the brother of his heart, but finding Josie again has given him hope, and a plan. Can the three of them make the perfect future together?

4 of 5 Stars!

If you are looking for a good romance read that is not only sexy but will leave you thinking about the characters you just read? Caitlyn O’Leary’s debut novel, TRUSTING CHANCE, is the book.

I want to start by saying that I had not known this was Ms. O’Leary’s first book, I would have never guessed it by reading. There are so many deep emotions through this story, that I could not help but to feel with them.

Josie, a woman who for all account should be broken beyond repair, but yet she always tries to see thing light at the end of the tunnel. Josie gave up part of herself to care for her sister and make life better for them all. Being a bigger woman and having a teenage physical injury that causes her pain every day, I found her a source of inspiration. The emotional depth and strength of Josie made me stop and think just a bit. She is a warrior and survivor. The best kind of lead lady!

Chance and Sam, what can I say about them! Ok, I would not mind one bit to have this duo after me. Each of the men has endearing qualities that make you want to melt. They are different but yet the same. Chance and Sam have a bond that goes beyond brotherhood and family. Chance being a man of opportunity sees a way for them all to be happy and healed together. Chance is a man who can get what he wants.

There was not one thing I did not like about Trusting Chance. Josie’s story and strength are worth the read alone. Now when you add in the hotness that is Chance and Sam, the book goes to another level. Packed with feeling and passion, you will feel something when you are done reading.

Not only is TRUSTING CHANCE, Ms. O’Leary’s debut novel, it is the first book in the FATE HARBOR series. Fate Harbor is a small town known for their expectance of triad marriages and their men just being born hot! Read TRUSTING CHANCE and you will see what I mean!

Club Prive Book 1

By M. S. Parker

Who is Gavin Manning and why does he keep showing up wherever I go? What does he want from me?

These are just a few of the questions law student Carrie Summers asks herself after running into devastatingly handsome Gavin for the third time at the opening of the hottest new club in town, Club Privé. Is he stalking her, or is it fate?

Despite telling herself that she doesn’t have time for a relationship, she finds his persistent attention flattering, and can’t help but be attracted to those deep blue eyes. An evening of fun and dancing turns into the most incredible night of her life, and she still doesn’t have a clue about Gavin. All she knows is he’s an amazing lover.

4 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a hot and quick read that will keep you turning page after page Club Prive, Book 1, is it. Written in the fashion of a serial story, we are given the first part of the story with book one. In just over a hundred pages M. S. Parker gave us an alluring and tantalizing beginning to this tale.  I found Carrie our lead lady to be your average every day woman trying to make it. She has her head on right, working to achieve a goal to make herself  better.  She also had a little bad girl streak that just made me fall in love with her.  Okay ladies, break out the fans. Gavin is sexy, sexy, sexy! Gavin was a mystery to me I was unable to figure him out. He always seems to be in the right place at the right time. Always knew the right person and the right thing to say. Something about him I can’t put my finger on. However I have to know more about him!

M. S. Parker gave me a read to dive head first into and came out wanting more!! A perfect set up for this series of books!

Only For Him Part 3

A Harmless Serial

Melissa Schroeder

Addison Mahler isn’t the kind of woman who usually goes for the big, bad Dom. Unfortunately, Vic Walton, part owner of his own BDSM club, has gotten under her skin. Come along in the first Harmless Serial and find out how their journey to love goes-free on the website each month, December through April.

4 stars

This is the part where things get hot. LOL! Vic has asked for Addy’s total submission. Part three is where she says yes and taken first hand into the world of BDSM. There is no denying the passion between Vic and Addy. With this being a part of a serial story it’s hard to say a lot with going too deep into the story. I loved both Vic and Addy when I met them in a previous Harmless book. You could tell just by meeting them, they were meant to be with each other.  I can tell you that each part has made me want to read the next more.

 
I have said this before and I will say it time and time again. Ms. Schroeder knows her characters so well that when she puts word to page you feel like you really know them and can feel their passion when finishing one of her books.
Melissa Schroeder is offering this serial Harmless story, ONLY FOR HIM, for free on here web site. Yes, people that is right FREE! Parts one, two and three are currently available on her website at http://melissaschroeder.net/books/series/only.php
