Synopsis

“Have you ever had that, Cassie? Have you ever had a guy worship everything about you?”

One wicked argument and six years later, Theo McCabe is back in hell. Savannah, Georgia. If not for his brother, Jonah, he wouldn’t be in his hometown…or recording his band’s first album.

He sure as shit wouldn’t have run into Cassie Clarke.

Determined to have what he’s always wanted, he sets out on a mission to right a wrong committed against his brother. Doing so will require Cassie’s help, and if she agrees, his plan will be in motion—his plan to seduce her.

He refuses to leave town until she desires him as much as he desires her. The only way to accomplish his goal is to prove he isn’t the bad boy she remembers. Yet the more they’re together, the harder it is to stick to his plan.

There’s a reason he’s always wanted Cassie. She affects his body like no other woman, but this time, she’s affecting his heart too. Making her want him will be a challenge.

Leaving her once he did would be hell.

Excerpt

“Uh oh. I know that look.”

The sound of Cassie’s voice startled Theo. She moved around the table and took the same seat Jonah previously occupied. She sipped from a to-go cup that was similar to the one in his hands. Guess he’d been so caught up in his thoughts that he hadn’t seen her enter the coffee shop.

Damn, his day just got better.

“And what look would that be, sugar?”

Cassie didn’t miss a beat as she shot back, “The same one you always had when you were in trouble. Have you been a bad boy, Theo McCabe?”

Not yet, but when the final act of his seduction came into play, he’d be the biggest bad boy she’d ever seen.

And she’d love every second.

Synopsis

Time doesn’t always mend a broken heart.

Jonah McCabe made a horrible mistake six years ago that cost him his chance at happiness. Then fate interceded. 

A last minute favor has him coming face to face with his past. Every beautiful inch of it. Her laughter still echoed in his mind. As did the pain in her voice the day she left. 

Can he make things right in a race against the clock, or will time continue to work against him?

Protect Her by Sophia Kimble

(Image found on Goodreads)

Golden flees, trying to escape her hallucinations about a demon. But running doesn't help as she runs straight into the man she's been dreaming of. Kris is done with romance, not interested in women, but when he meets Golden he feels an inexplicable desire to be near her and the need to protect her. As the reason behind their attraction starts coming to light, they must race against time to save their lives. Find the official description on Goodreads.

The writing of Protect Her was really well done. Although sometimes the dreams or hallucinations didn't get as much description as I'd like to but you still understood what was going on and it didn't effect the novel in any way other then that I would have liked to see more about them. Kris and Golden are characters that are easy to fall in love with, or at least like. Although they both have their flaws that frustrate this does not mean you can't like them. It just makes them more human.

The one thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the almost whip lash speed at which the book goes. It seemed as if we were speeding through their story and I would have liked some time to take a breath or not move so quickly through out. But I did still enjoy Protect Her.

There were several different perspectives all in third person made the story interesting and allowed you to walk in several different shoes in order to better understand the curse and the back story.

I really enjoyed the ending! It was huge, and well executed and basically just really well done.

Protect Her was a good read with great characters and an interesting ending. All in all, definitely worth a look.

Reluctant Prince

Kingdom of Cymmera 

Book One

Genre: YA Fantasy

Kensington

Kobo

Betrayal lies cloaked in shadow.

Seventeen year old Ryleigh Donnovan is certain her life is cursed. Nothing ever goes smoothly, and her first job interview is no exception. An earthquake rocks the building, sending Ryleigh on a frantic search for her younger sister, a search which lands her in the hospital. Terrified they’ll push her for answers she can’t afford to give, Ryleigh flees with a mysterious stranger.

Jackson Maynard is about to be ordained as a Death Dealer, a warrior for the Kingdom of Cymmera, but first he must pass one more test. When he fails to acquire the human girl the prophet has chosen, he’s forced to stand trial for treason. Banished from his realm, he seeks out the girl from the vision, Ryleigh Donnovan, and together they embark on a journey to save his dying kingdom.

Review:

I'm not usually a huge Fantasy fan, but this book kind of made me curious. And when I read it, wow, as I got deeper into the book I started to wish for more and more. When it ended, I'm just like no, I need more!

At first it took me a while to connect with the characters. I empathized with them and whatnot but I didn't actually feel that connection that sometimes you just get with certain characters. But as I got deeper and deeper into the book I would fall in love with both Ryleigh and Jackson. 

There's very few moments that are quiet or peaceful in The Reluctant Prince but when those moments came you cherished them as everything goes further and further, adding a bit of intrigue to keep you motivated as well.

Watching the relationship of Jackson and Ryleigh grow was interesting, frustrating and yet oh so sweet. 

It was certainly a hard thing to learn some of the ways of Cymmera, but at the same time it added more depth to the book. Dani-Lyn Alexander hasn't created a world that is perfect and you wish you could visit. You certainly wish you could see Cymmera but perhaps not visit at least not how it is right at the moment of this book.

And that ending! It's got me begging for more!

Dani-Lyn Alexander lives on Long Island with her husband, three kids and three dogs. She loves spending time with her family, at the beach, the playground, or just about anywhere.

The Dragon Holder by Wilson Feliz

(Image found on Goodreads)

The land is under attack, hope is being lost as shadows attack. But among the citizens, a dragon holder finds a dragon egg. Now hope has sprung but only if he can live long enough to do what needs to be done. Find the official description on Goodreads.

Wilson Feliz made sure to set the scene before actually beginning the book and that is certainly an important thing. In fact it almost starts off as an epic, reminiscent of myths. Although there were errors throughout the book, whether just a word or an error in grammar, but it didn't detract too much from the writing and it wasn't riddled with errors.

The book jumps around to different characters, and you might not always understand why they were important but you could still get behind the characters, at least sometimes.

I have to admit that I didn't really enjoy the mages or Anaya as much as Liam. Mostly because they seemed to be arrogant and overly confident. It got to me and annoyed me.

The plot was interesting and keeps rolling, never stopping. It also ends with a good ending to continue into another book.

Overall, The Dragon Holder was a decent read, perfect for those who enjoy tales of dragons and magic.

Destined Havoc by Nina Levine

(Image found via Goodreads)

“She had to be fucking kidding me.  No way was I going there with a crazy bitch who was more than likely just trying to catch herself a man to pay her bills.”-Nina Levine, Destined Havoc

Havoc left town a bitter man, not interested in any more than one night with willing women. When he meets Carla, everything changes. And it's not just because she's a challenge. But both are determined it's only a one night stand. Can they handle that or will everything come crashing down? Find the official description on Goodreads.

If you enjoyed Nina Levine's Storm MC series than you will certainly fall in love with Havoc and Carla. Carla is the strong female lead that people can cheer on while Havoc is the HOT biker that will leave you begging for more as he pursues Carla.

There were also familiar characters in Destined Havoc but obviously they didn't play as big a part in this novella. But it was still good to reconnect with the Storm boys and see what was going on after the bomb that we were left with last time. It was also interesting to see how Havoc, as a nomad fit into the club.

This novella will have you up and laughing one moment and then trying to form a protective circle around your heart trying to prevent Carla and Havoc from throwing you onto a roller coaster you don't want to get off.

Destined Havoc was a great novella and I'm interested to see where the two characters go from now. I can't wait to read more of Havoc and Carla!

Protecting Caroline by Susan Stoker Blog Tour!

    About the Book

Title: Protecting Caroline

Series: SEAL of Protection #1



Author: Susan Stoker



Published: September 8th, 2014



Word Count: 62,000



Genre: Contemporary Romance



Content Warning: Violence



Age Recommendation: 18+



Synopsis: **Protecting Caroline is a stand-alone love story. It is Book 1 in the SEAL of Protection Series**



Matthew “Wolf” Steel hated flying commercial. Luckily his job as a Navy SEAL meant he didn’t have to do it very often. He’d been unlucky enough to be assigned a middle seat on the cramped jet, but fortunately for him, the woman next to him was willing to switch seats with him. Hoping for a relaxing flight, Wolf was pleasantly surprised at the good conversation and sense of humor the woman had as they flew 36,000 feet over the countryside.



When Caroline boarded the plane to Virginia to move across the country for her new job she never expected to be seated next to the hottest guy she’d ever seen. She also never expected he’d be so easy to talk to. She knew he’d never be interested in talking to her if he hadn’t been trapped in the seat next to her, but it was a nice way to spend a long plane ride.



Neither Wolf nor Caroline were prepared for a terrorist hijacking of their plane, but if Caroline thought that would be the last time she’d see, or need, Wolf, she’d be sorely mistaken.



Start the SEAL of Protection Series with Caroline and Wolf’s story.

Review: 

At first I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the writing style. I liked how the characters each had their own little introductions but it almost seemed awkward or odd to me? I'm not really sure how to describe it. But once I got past the introductions I enjoyed the writing style much more. There were few errors if any and that was really helpful as well.

I certainly enjoyed the character of Caroline. I did like Wolf and his boys but for me Caroline was my favorite. She was this woman who had no training besides the training necessary to be a chemist and yet she stood up to the terrorists, helped rather than hindered and didn't wait around uselessly for the guys to find her. She actively tried to help them and I just thought that she was a really well written character who anyone can enjoy.

I loved the relationships between all of the characters, not just Wolf and Caroline. They all adopted her and took her on as family even when Wolf wasn't necessarily thinking straight. I enjoyed that relationship she formed with each character and it certainly makes me interested in what will happen in the next books and if it will affect her relationship with the boys. 

The plot hit home a lot more now, even though it's been 13 years since 9/11. It certainly hit a lot harder than I think it might have if it hadn't already happened on such a large scale in a nearby country. 

Protecting Caroline was a great read, one that I enjoyed. The characters were my favorite although the plot was well written as well.

About the Author

Susan Stoker has a heart as big as the state of Texas where she lives but this all American girl has also spent the last fourteen years living in Missouri, California, Colorado, and Indiana. She is quite the romantic and even met the love of her life on “Hotmail classified” before online dating and sites like match.com even existed!

Susan has been reading romance novels since middle school and once crossed out the names of the main characters in a book and changed them to her own and to the name of her crush. She’s been writing scenes for years, developing her unique writing style.



Susan loves writing but her true passion is adopting dogs from rescue groups and shelters. Susan and her husband have had a total of nine “rescued” dogs since 2000 including a variety of basset hounds and bloodhounds. She has recently branched out and adopted a basset/terrier mix who acts more like a terrier than a basset (i.e. digging, eating a couch and being hyper).

Excerpt

Wolf didn’t say anything, just did what he’d desired to do the first time he saw her in the room. He reached over and gathered her into his arms. She was stiff at first, then she melted into him. She smelled of some sort of flowers. Maybe it was her shampoo, maybe it was a lotion she used, but it went straight to his head. He tightened his arms around her and Caroline lost it. She cried. She cried for being scared on the plane, she cried for being hurt, she cried remembering how alone and scared she felt in her apartment when only a thin piece of plastic kept a killer from knowing she was in the bathroom, she cried in relief that Matthew was back from his mission. Matthew rocked her and held her tight. He wasn’t used to a woman’s tears, but there was no way he was letting her go.

Finally her tears dried up and she only sniffed here and there. Wolf drew back a bit and looked at her face. She wasn’t a “cute crier”—her face was red and blotchy. She refused to raise her eyes. Wolf rubbed her cheeks with his thumbs and then lifted her chin up so Caroline had to look at him. He didn’t say anything just leaned down and touched her lips with his. It wasn’t a passionate kiss, but it felt right. It was a comforting kiss. It was exactly what she needed from him at that moment.

He pulled back and looked into her eyes. “You’re safe now. I’ll do everything in my power to make sure you stay that way.”

Caroline believed him. He was an honest to God hero. And for the moment, he was her hero. She tipped her chin up, reaching again for his lips with hers.

The second she moved, he was there. Wolf had tried to hold back with her. She was feeling vulnerable and he didn’t want to take advantage of her. But with the first touch of her lips against him, he was lost.
