Home No More by Leddy Harper Blog Tour!




Never take for granted where you came from... or where you may end up.


SYNOPSIS


My name is Kendall Carrington—or so I thought…


When 17-year-old Kendall gets pulled over during an impromptu joy ride, she not only discovers she is not the girl she thought she was, but neither is anyone else. Kidnapped when she was young, she is thrust back into a life she doesn’t remember. One where her name is Danielle Tucker and betrayal seems to be lurking around every corner. No longer able to decipher the truth from the lies, she enlists the help of blue-eyed hottie Lincoln Hunt on her quest for truth.


Will she come to terms with her new life? Or will she go running back to the only home she’s ever known?



REVIEW:

Home No More was certainly a roller coaster of emotions that just don't stop. Kendall/Danielle certainly had a difficult life and that doesn't stop as she's trying to figure things out and readjust. Things are a struggle and there is a shocker that throws everything you thought was getting calm out of the window.

Throughout Home No More, I felt a lot of what Kendall must have felt. That the world had gone topsy-turvy all of a sudden and you weren't sure which way is up. Leddy Harper has certainly created an amazing book and her writing conveys the conflicted feelings of Kendall very well.

And then there was Link, I wasn't sure what to think about him at first but going through, I either loved him or slightly disliked him depending on moods.

Home No More was a beautiful read! I will  certainly be revisiting it in the future!
COMING IN JULY...


ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Leddy Harper had to use her imagination often as a child. She grew up the only girl in a house full of boys. At the age of fourteen, she decided to use that imagination and wrote her first book, and never stopped. 

She often calls writing her therapy, using it as a way to deal with issues through the eyes of her characters.

She is now a mother of three girls, leaving her husband as the only man in a house full of females. 

The decision to publish her first book was made as a way of showing her children to go after whatever it is they want to. Love what you do and do it well. Most importantly Leddy wanted to teach them what it means to overcome their fears.

Brody by Mandy Harbin Tour!


Brody (The Bang Shift Series)
by Mandy Harbin
Genre: Military, Romantic Suspense





Brody “Brutus” Jackson isn’t your average small-town mechanic. The shop where he spends his days doubles as the headquarters for the mercenary group he works with. They jokingly call themselves the Bang Shift because the government contracts they take are the less savory ones, and they’re all just shady enough to do what’s necessary to get the jobs done. As far as Brody’s concerned, it’s the perfect arrangement for a man with no memory of his past, and no hope for the future.

Under FBI protection, Alexandria Collins and her son have been in hiding for ten years. When it’s time to move again, her piece of crap car breaks down and the man giving her a tow is the biggest, hottest guy she’s ever seen. She is determined to ignore the need her long-neglected body hungers for. After all, the last man she showed interest in put a gun to her head.


Brody thinks the skittish Xan is sexy as hell, but it’s not her hot body that has him rocked to his core. He knows her from somewhere, and in his line of work, that’s a dangerous thing. Following orders have never been this hard, but he will protect her at all costs … even if what she needs protection from is him.

Review:

Let me tell you, this book starts off with a bang and it doesn't slow down...like ever. Alexandria's back story comes out pretty quickly and it's not a pretty one. But when are they ever? Brody's might be even worse. Although you don't really get his back story except in bits and pieces and that is actually a benefit to the reader. Because he's got memory loss  and it almost feels as if you're right there in the dark with him. So I enjoyed the fact that as Brody discovers himself so too do you. And then the first scene really threw me off. When I started reading Brody, it had been a couple of weeks since I'd read the plot and I honestly didn't expect Alexandria could have survived what she did. So yes, I really enjoyed the plot of the book. 

There were laughs, tears and anger. But the book didn't stop to let you catch your breath. Brody and Alexandria will set you on fire and the twists will just keep coming. You will not be sorry if you pick up this series! 

The writing was great! It was easy to get involved in, easy to lose yourself in. And the characters were ones that were really well developed. Mandy Harbin has certainly created another reader for her series.

So, if you haven't already figured it out, I highly recommend that you read Brody! Like right now!

BLIND FAITH by Rebecca Zanetti (January 27, 2015; Forever Mass Market; $8.00)
A betrayal he couldn't forget . . . For Nate Dean, love is a four-letter word. As part of a secret black-ops military unit, he and his brothers were genetically engineered by the government to be ruthless soldiers with an expiration date. They were loyal only to one another . . . until Nate laid eyes on the woman who stole his heart and blew his world apart. Now, years later, his family is still paying the price for his mistake. But as time runs out, there's only one person who can save his family: the very woman Nate swore he'd never trust again.

A love she couldn't deny . . . 
The moment Audrey Madison spies Nate across a crowded ballroom, she can barely breathe. He's just as undeniably sexy as she remembers, yet there's an edge to him now that's as irresistible as it is dangerous. When he asks for her help, Audrey can't refuse. But she has secrets of her own--secrets that, if Nate ever discovers them, may cost them both their lives . . .

FORGOTTEN SINS(BOOK 1) REVIEW:

I am telling you now that I will be singing this series’ praises. It’s a series that if you love contemporary romance, and suspense than you will love this book. Or if you’re a fan of Christine Feehan’s Ghostwalker’s series.

At first I was curious about how everything was working and why they were doing what they did. And as it was revealed….wow just wow. I can’t believe the cruelty of some people. It was just shocking. I think this is why I had such a deep connection with the characters in the series, because of their past and the way they’re trying to move past it while having this timer counting down. That and the way the books were written, drawing you into the characters’ minds, making you understand their natures and finding that there are some people who are just good, honorable people. It gives you hope even as they fight to defeat their enemy.

Josie was a character ,that again had a tragic past so you also find yourself rooting for her to get her happy ending with Shane.

I enjoyed the familial bond that is so clear to see and even the shared pain they have about their brother. The descriptions of this bond just made me connect to each brother and rout for them as the books continue.

The plot was intriguing and unique. It kept the heart pumping and made sure that you were never certain when something was going to happen or when things would calm down a bit.

Overall, Forgotten Sins and the whole Sin Brothers series is a must read.

SWEET REVENGE(BOOK 2) REVIEW:

Due to the fact I loved the first book so much I really was happy to be able to jump right into the second. And especially Matt’s story. I was very interested to see how he ticked in comparison to Shane. And wow, may I just say, several things were different but the sense of honor and family was strong in this book just as it was in the previous book.

I did notice that both Josie and Laney were similar in certain ways, such as their need for safety and insurance, as well as their not so great pasts. But as you get deeper into the books and thus the characters’ heads you discover their differences. It was an amazing journey.

And the plot again kept you jumping, kept you hoping that maybe just maybe, everyone could have their happy ending. You learn more about the enemy of the book and learn just how much you hate him. Believe me, throughout this series I’ve quickly developed more and more feelings towards the brothers as well as the doctor and leader behind their creation.

This book honestly made my heart hurt as I read it. And I think that all of these books are doing the same. It was not only the timer hanging over all the brothers heads that did it but the fact that they’re so against forming connections because of it. That and more glimpses into the past just help you develop more and more feelings towards all the characters involved.

Rebecca Zanetti has created characters that quickly draw you into the book and keep things hopping throughout.

BLIND FAITH(BOOK 3) REVIEW

I think Nate’s story almost hurt more because you know a bit of about his personal past, more than just his shared history with his brothers. It also seemed to hurt more because he was the one on the outside looking in on his brother’s relationships. And wow, the way the emotions described just made me feel very strongly for him.

This story almost seemed to hurt more than the others, if only because of Nate’s thoughts and Audrey’s as well.

But at the same time there was at least a little happiness and fun. And that made the pain a lot more bearable.

It compares well to the series overall. The plot was jumping, pain was had, and even a brief glimpse of happiness was given. But of course there was a cliffhanger. And wow, can I just say I’m going to die while waiting for the next book.
