Kimberly reviews The Last Thing I Remember by Deborah Bee

TITLE: The Last Thing I Remember
CHARACTERS: Sarah
AUTHOR: Deborah Bee
PUBLICATION DATE: 02/25/16
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
For fans of Rubbernecker and Before I Go To Sleep, a tense thriller with a clever and original premise – and a devilish twist

Sarah is in a coma.

Her memory is gone – she doesn’t know how she got there. And she doesn’t know how she might get out.

But then she discovers that her injury wasn’t an accident. And that the assailant hasn’t been caught.

Unable to speak, see or move, Sarah must use every clue that she overhears to piece together her own past.

And work out who it is that keeps coming into her room.

A novel that grips from the very beginning and that will live long in the memory, The Last Thing I Remember is Deborah Bee’s startling debut thriller.

REVIEW:
This is so different and so entrancing. This psychological thriller is exactly that. A thrill.

Sarah is in a coma and unable to do anything except think. She and her neighbors daughter piece together what happened to Sarah that put her into the coma.

Honestly if I say too much it gives a lot away. Let’s just say that if you are looking for a book that makes you think and keeps your attention and is something outside of the normal thriller than this is the book for you. I am so glad I picked it up.

Kimberly reviews Worth It All by Claudia Connor

TITLE: Worth It All
SERIES #: The McKinney Brothers #3
CHARACTERS: Paige & JT
AUTHOR: Claudia Connor
PUBLICATION DATE: 04/19/16
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
“Read Claudia Connor for a consistently raw and emotional love story,” recommends Carly Phillips. Now the swoon-worthy McKinney Brothers series from this bestselling author continues as JT, the youngest of the trio, discovers that only love can make him whole.

She’s fighting for control. . . . Paige Roberts learned to fend for herself growing up. Now she’s doing everything possible to give her daughter, Casey, the stability she never had. But when the vivacious five-year-old decides she’s done wearing her prosthesis, Paige faces her toughest challenge yet: trusting a handsome, brooding stranger who simply wants to help.

He’s struggling to connect. . . . JT McKinney lost more than his leg in a car accident that stole his dreams of pro football. Eight years later, he’s made a new life for himself far away from his old one. His business is developing cutting-edge prosthetics and he’s more than happy to turn his attention to machines instead of people. Still, he can’t shake the feeling that something’s missing.

Will they take a chance on love? . . . When JT gets the chance to help Paige’s daughter, he takes it. He never planned on the two of them tearing down his walls or teaching him to believe in himself again. Paige might not believe in happily ever afters, but JT wants more than anything to be her prince. They’ll both have to let go of the past if they want a future.

REVIEW:
So two or so years ago I fell in love with Matt (Worth The Fall). And now I have fallen in love with his baby brother, JT.

There is something about these McKinney boys that just steals your heart. Maybe it is the size of theirs and maybe it is the way they are with children but any reader would have a hard time not falling for one (or more) of these brothers. There is another brother, Stephen (Worth The Risk), but I have to say that Matt and JT are the two brothers that stole my heart.

JT lost his leg years ago and as the saying goes turned lemons into lemonade by designing better prosthetics for amputees but he has never forgotten or forgiven himself for how he lost his. Paige is a single mom who does everything she has to to make sure her daughter doesn’t have the life that she grew up in. When JT sees Paige something draws him in and then he meets her daughter, Casey, who is also an amputee and he can’t help but want to help mother and daughter. But he never imagines that he will lose his heart not only to Paige but to Casey as well. And that it will change his life so drastically.

JT is just beyond sweet. He has a heart of gold but forgot how to make it shine. Paige brings that back to him and I found myself enjoying her as much as I enjoyed him. And then of course Casey can steal any moms heart. She is such a typical five year old.

Claudia Connor quickly became one of my favorite authors after reading Matt’s story and I can’t tell you enough how she has remained high on my list as we have met the McKinney brothers. I worry that we are out of brothers (unless I counted wrong) but I know no matter what happens to the McKinney family Claudia Connor will deliver another story that will steal my heart…. But until then I will just have to split my heart between Matt and JT.

Kelly reviews Smoke And Fire by Donna Grant

TITLE: Smoke & Fire
SERIES #: Dark Kings #9
CHARACTERS: Kinsey & Ryder
AUTHOR: Donna Grant
PUBLICATION DATE:
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
She wanted to touch him. There had always been something about being in his arms that made her feel as if she could tackle anything and the world wouldn’t dare get in her way…

SWORN TO PROTECT
A dragon shapeshifter and a computer mastermind, Ryder is sent to guard Glasgow after a devastating Dark attack. But when memories of an explosive affair come back to him-in the flesh-Ryder cannot help but want to protect the woman who haunts his dreams. Even if means shifting into the dragon he was never supposed to reveal…

DRIVEN TO DESIRE
Kinsey could never get enough of Ryder. His every touch only left her wanting more. But now that she’s seen him in his true form, Kinsey’s world is rocked to the core. She knows that to stay-and feel-alive, she must be with Ryder. But is Kinsey’s passion worth the risk of danger that comes with being a part of Ryder’s dark and fierce world?

REVIEW:
Smoke & Fire is a little different story than our normal Dark King book. This is a story of a second chance at love. Ryder, our jelly donut loving dragon, whom we all love is reunited with the love of his life after many years. But there is something strange about the time of Kinsey’s arrival. Can she be trusted? Is she who she really says she is? And how far is Ryder willing to go to protect her and when back her love?

As always Ms. Grant writes a story that makes us fall in love with the Dragon Kings all over again. But at times Ryder’s story seemed to drag on a little. I think that the events that happened in Smoke & Fire are going to lead to some huge changes in the Dragon Kings world. Rhi’s storyline is getting deeper and deeper. Balladyn is changing yet staying the same, which makes it really hard to like him, yet I don’t hate him as much.
I can’t wait to see what is next in this series. What is next for the Kings, what is next for Balladyn, what is next for Rhi.

Kimberly reviews Alpha Wolf Need Not Apply by Terry Spear

TITLE: Alpha Wolf Need Not Apply
SERIES #: Heart Of The Wolf #19
CHARACTERS: Eric & Pepper
AUTHOR: Terry Spear
PUBLICATION DATE: 05/03/16
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Wolf shifter and park ranger Eric Silver is committed to his job policing spectacular San Isabel National Forest, and he’s hot on the scent of some mysterious wolves who are up to no good. When Eric’s investigation leads him to cross paths with forester Pepper Grayling, he’s fascinated to learn this she-wolf is her pack’s leader — strong, independent, and definitely not looking for a mate.

With unknown dangers on the prowl, Pepper is tempted to give in to her attraction to Eric and align her pack with his. But Pepper’s been pursued by many alpha males–all out to take over her pack and gain her hard-won territory–and Eric is a born leader. How does Eric earn the trust of a she-wolf who’s been betrayed so often in the past?

REVIEW:
This is the 19th in this series and I have to say that I have not even read half of them. This one was just ok to me.

They can be read as a stand alone and like I said sort of have been for me. The story had a bit of a slow start but then was fine. Pepper is a very strong female alpha and I just didn’t feel that Eric was alpha enough to be with her.

Don’t get me wrong. The romance is fine it is just not one of favorites from Terry Spear.

#TBF Kimberly reviews Take My Breath Away by Christie Ridgway – Catch Up From The Beginning

TITLE: Take My Breath Away
SERIES #: Cabin Fever #1
CHARACTERS: Poppy & Ryan
AUTHOR: Christie Ridgway
PUBLICATION DATE: 05/27/14
ORDER LINKS: Amazon| B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
From USA TODAY bestselling author Christie Ridgway comes a sparkling new series set in the California mountains, where Hollywood glamour meets rustic charm, and the sparks fly among the unlikeliest of couples…

Poppy Walker has a plan to restore the family resort, and she’s sticking to it. So when a good-looking guy with plenty of cash rents one of her half-repaired vacation cabins, she figures he’s just what the handyman ordered. But when a late-winter storm blows through, it takes down some trees, her roof and then…her self-control. Even though she’s been burned before by a wealthy passer-through, she can’t stay away from the brooding but gorgeous stranger in the bungalow next door.

Former teen idol turned Hollywood exec Ryan Hamilton wants a private place in which to endure his very personal heartbreak. Finally, at this rustic mountain cabin, he has all the seclusion one man could want—until sparks begin to fly with his sexy, formerly chilly landlady. By the time the weather dies down, they’re both hot, bothered and certain they’re still wrong for each other. But there’s no telling how they’ll face the new storm brewing on the horizon…

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts What a delightful story. I truly enjoyed every word of it. Ryan is just heartbreaking in his sadness and yet he can be so charming. Poppy is such an optimist that she claws are your heart. And Mason is adorable.

I really believe any single mom should read this story. It clearly shows how a single mom feels. How the child takes over her whole heart and makes her believe that no one can add to that space. And yet this story shows that a mom can be a sexual being not just a mom.

I really look forward to getting back to the resort and seeing how that works out in Shay’s story which is next. Each of the background characters of this story are great and make you want to hear their stories too. Ridgway has begun this series with a winner.

#TBW Kimberly reviews Dangerous Curves Ahead by Sugar Jamison – Catch Up From The Beginning

TITLE: Dangerous Curves Ahead
SERIES #: Perfect Fit #1
CHARACTERS: Elllis & Mike
AUTHOR: Sugar Jamison
PUBLICATION DATE: 08/27/13
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Ellis Garrett is dumping her critical boyfriend, opening a plus-size clothing store, and starting a blog—all to spread the word that fashion shouldn’t require a size-two body, and happiness should allow for the occasional cupcake. Or two. But is indulging fantasies about her sister’s long-ago ex, the still-hunky Michael Edwards, biting off more than she can chew?

Mike must be losing his detective’s touch. He doesn’t recognize Ellis when he bumps into her at Size Me Up, and he certainly doesn’t remember his ex-girlfriend’s outspoken sister being so irresistible. Her curves are indeed dangerous—and so is her wit. Could it be that Ellis is his Perfect Fit? One thing’s for sure: Mike will make it his sworn duty to find out…

REVIEW:
This book is adorable. I did have some problems with it (see below) but mostly I devoured it (no pun intended). Ellis is a plus size girl who has changed her whole life lately and the last thing she expects is Mike to come back into her life. They had only met a couple times before but a crush is a crush after all. I loved Ellis. She is so snarky and snippy and has a quick sense of humor. She is the kind that can laugh at herself and can make others laugh with her. The problem is she is tired of being laughed AT. Mike is a sweet guy and I really enjoyed him most of the time. Yes I said most.

So here comes the parts that I didn’t like. The couple yo-yos too much.. together, not together, together, etc. While I understand the reason for the not-togethers it went on too many times. I didn’t enjoy the fact that Ellis was always saying she is “fat”. She has a lot of confidence in herself (most of the time) so I would have thought she would use more confident words like plus size or rubenesque, etc. But I can get past that. And non-story related the story has tons (and I mean tons) of errors. I am not sure if the author did not have a editor (if not I will volunteer since I have done it for many books) but sometimes there were so many little errors I had to re-read the sentence to understand it. **NOTE: I went back and looked and I received a uncorrected copy from NetGalley so it was probably fixed by the time the book went live**

NOW… that being said I still adored this book. I think every plus-size girl in the world should pick it up. I think every skinny girl should too… Why? Because it shows how big girls really feel. It shows how what we hear affects our confident, it show show we don’t understand why a gorgeous guy likes a big girl and it shows that big girls deserve love too. I can’t wait for the next in the series. I know this series will be a BIG hit. (Get it?)

Kelly reviews Best Of My Love by Susan Mallery

TITLE: Best of My Love
SERIES #: Fool’s Gold #20
CHARACTERS: Aidan Mitchell & Shelby Gilmore
AUTHOR: Susan Mallery
PUBLICATION DATE: April 26, 2016
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
An irresistible new love story from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fool’s Gold series, set in a town Library Journal calls “so appealing, readers will want to start scoping out real estate.”

To overcome her painful past, baker Shelby Gilmore goes on the hunt for a friend—a male friend—to convince her stubborn psyche that men can be trusted. But where in a town as small as Fool’s Gold will the petite blonde find a guy willing to not date her?

Dark, charming Aidan Mitchell puts the “adventure” in Mitchell Adventure Tours…and into the beds of his many willing female tourists. Until he realizes he’s inadvertently become that guy—the one-night Casanova—and worse, everyone in town knows it. Maybe Shelby’s boy/girl experiment will help him see women as more than just conquests so he can change his ways and win back his self-respect.

As Aidan and Shelby explore the secret lives of men and women, the heat between them fires up the Fool’s Gold rumor mill. If no one will believe they’re just friends, maybe they should give the gossips something to really talk about!

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts I always love to visit Fools Gold California!!! And in Best of My Love another wonderful visit. I love that Ms. Mallery writes us a story that makes us want to cry, laugh and slap someone upside the head at least once while reading. I loved Aidan & Shelby’s journey.
We have got to see both Aidan and Shelby over the last few stories and it was great to get to know them both more. I loved the social experiment that Shelby talks Aidan into. I love the boy thing and girl thing. I loved the interventions, the margarets and the acceptance. I really enjoyed this story and the segway into Ms. Mallery’s new (hopefully soon) spin off. I for one can’t wait to visit Happily Inc.

#TBM Kimberly reviews The Pleasures Of Winter by Evie Hunter – Catch Up From The Beginning

TITLE: The Pleasures Of Winter
AUTHOR: Evie Hunter
PUBLICATION DATE: 11/01/12
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | (No link for B&N)

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
The Pleasures of Winter is a steamy erotic story of romantic obsession and explosive sexual chemistry for fans of Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared to You.

When reporter Abbie Marshall needs to escape Honduras, a private jet carrying a Hollywood A-lister is her only way out. She has a ride home with Irish actor Jack Winter – notorious womanizer and all round bad boy. Abbie is shaken to the core by Winter’s blazing beauty and provocative mind.

After the plane’s nose-dive into the remote rainforest forces them to fight for survival, Abbie catches tantalizing glimpses of the complicated man behind the image. And the more she sees of him, the more he touches some primal part of her that she is determined to suppress. But after a devastating encounter with Winter’s shadow side, Abbie’s detachment is shattered.

On returning to normal life, Abbie cannot forget what happened, nor ignore the shocking rumours about the star’s private life. Her struggle to make sense of her torment leads straight back to Winter, who is just as obsessed by her. But if they are to have a relationship, Abbie knows she must embrace his hidden desires … and accept her own.

No longer caring about anything but their intoxicating love affair, Abbie is drawn deeper into the dark heart of Winter – and the secret that threatens to destroy everything …

REVIEW:
I enjoyed this story. The characters jumped out to me right away and I felt they had a connection on the pages. I am not sure I would compare it to Fifty Shades of Grey as the synopsis (sorta) does because yes it does have D/s BDSM but there is completely different feel to this book then Shades.

The characters are very real and while Jack has money he is not portrayed as the millionaire CEO like most of the BDSM books seem to do. Yes he is rich but he is an actor. I imagine him as a George Clooney type. There is nothing haunting about Jack but there is something charismatic about him. I also liked that Abbie was not a pushover. She is strong-willed and curious but she is a reporter not afraid to go after the hard stories.

Some things that I had a hard time with: first the author is obviously foreign so some of the wording or phrasing did not transfer to read fluently but that was something that is noticed but can be looked over. Second the character of Abbie while in the jungle she is strong willed and independent I had a problem when she was first learning about her submissive side. The first email conversation with the “Disciplinarian” she told him everything about herself including her name, her families names, job, etc… No reporter (or anyone I would hope) would give all that information away to a stranger online. It really made it hard for me to enjoy that portion of the book. Plus for a reporter Abbie seems so dense about the emails. I mean really the emails use the same wording that Jack did in the jungle but she doesn’t think anything of it?

But that is the only parts I had a hard time with. I believe anyone who enjoys this genre will truly enjoy this book. It has everything a D/s story could want.

#TBF Kelly reviews Ready To Were by Robyn Peterman – Catch Up From The Beginning

TITLE: Ready to Were
SERIES #: Shift Happens series #1
CHARACTERS: Hank Wilson & Ester “Essie” McGee
AUTHOR: Robyn Peterman
PUBLICATION DATE: November 25, 2014
ORDER LINKS:Amazon| B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
I never planned on going back to Hung Island, Georgia. Ever.

I was a top notch Were agent for the secret paranormal Council and happily living in Chicago where I had everything I needed – a gym membership, season tickets to the Cubs and Dwayne – my gay, Vampyre best friend. Going back now would mean facing the reason I’d left and I’d rather chew my own paw off than deal with Hank.

Hank the Tank Wilson was the six foot three, obnoxious, egotistical, perfect-assed, best-sex-of-my-life, Werewolf who cheated on me and broke my heart. At the time, I did what any rational woman would do. I left in the middle of the night with a suitcase, big plans and enough money for a one-way bus ticket to freedom. I vowed to never return.

But here I am, trying to wrap my head around what has happened to some missing Weres without wrapping my body around Hank. I hope I don’t have to eat my words and my paw.

***This novella originally appeared in the Three Southern Beaches collection released July of 2014. This is an extended version of that story

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts This was such a fun book. Robyn does a great job of adding in just enough snark and humor into all of her books. While still telling a great story that tugs at your heart strings and makes you feel really bad for the bad guys. I for one can’t wait to see what is next in this series. The secondary characters were just as much fun as Hank & Essie.
Bring on more Shift Happens books.

#TBW Kimberly reviews Love Potions by Michelle M Pillow – Catch Up From The Beginning

TITLE: Love Potions
SERIES #: Warlocks MacGregor #1
CHARACTERS: Lydia & Erik
AUTHOR: Michelle M Pillow
PUBLICATION DATE: 06/02/14
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Erik MacGregor, from a clan of ancient Scottish warlocks, isn’t looking for love. After centuries, it’s not even a consideration…until he moves in next door to Lydia Barratt. It’s clear that the shy beauty wants nothing to do with him, but he’s drawn to her nonetheless and determined to win her over.

Lydia Barratt just wants to be left alone to grow flowers and make lotions in her small cottage. The last thing she needs is a demanding Scottish man meddling in her private life. Just because he’s gorgeous and totally rocks a kilt doesn’t mean she’s going to fall for his seductive manner.

But Erik won’t give up and just as Lydia let’s her guard down, his sister decides to get involved. Her little love potion prank goes terribly wrong, making Lydia the target of his sudden embarrassingly obsessive behavior. They’ll have to find a way to pull Erik out of the spell fast when it becomes clear that Lydia has more than a lovesick warlock to worry about. Evil lurks within the shadows and it plans to use Lydia, alive or dead, to take out Erik and his clan for good.

REVIEW:
4.25 Hearts I can not even tell you how much I enjoyed this story. It was mostly lighthearted and actually had me chuckle a number of times. Erik is so funny and sweet sometimes that you have to smile. Lydia is a great character as well. Both are perfect for each other. So enjoyable!

There is a little bit of everything in this paranormal romance. Warlocks, Ghosts, Liderc and so much more. But there is also a sweet romance, a sweet best friend and a clan of Scot’s in kilts. What is not to love?

I can’t wait for the next in the series. I am assuming it is Charlotte’s story but honestly I am not even sure which Warlock she will be with but then any of the MacGregors would be great. Well done to the author Michelle M Pillow. While I have not read her before I will be looking for her from now on.

#TBT Kimberly reviews How To Seduce A Fireman by Vonnie Davis – Catch Up From The Beginning

TITLE: How To Seduce A Fireman
SERIES #: Wild Heat #1
CHARACTERS: Cassie & Quinn
AUTHOR: Vonnie Davis
PUBLICATION DATE: 10/02/14
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
The heat is on…
Book 1 in the ‘Wild Heat’ series – the hottest new fireman trilogy of the fall!
Cassie Wolford has crushed on fireman Quinn Gallagher ever since he moved to Clearwater three years ago. There’s just one problem: he’s always made it clear dating is out of the question. But once a Wolford sets their sights on someone, that person doesn’t stand a chance! Cassie decides it’s time for Quinn to get a dose of his own medicine… and sets out to show him what he’s missing!
Quinn knows only too well what Cassie’s up to but he can’t give her what she wants. He isn’t good for anyone, much less someone as sweet as his angel. Fighting her off hurts like hell, but giving her false hope of a happy ever after would be damn cruel. That’s why he has to leave Clearwater.
Unfortunately, someone from his past has different ideas and when Cassie’s life is threatened this former CIA operative is staying put, prepared to crawl through hell and back to keep her safe. And it looks like he might just have to.

REVIEW:
So I really enjoyed this story. There is a wonderful amount of angst between the characters who so clearly love each other from moment one and they compliment each other really well. However there is a lot of anger between them. Thankfully the author put that they were in counseling because if a couple ever need counseling it is this couple. I enjoyed Quinn mostly. When he gets mad or in his own head too much he can be a bit of an a$$ so that gets old pretty quick. And Cassie is a bit of a lovestruck teenager even though she is an adult. But that being said they somehow work well together.

There is quite a bit of suspense too. Well maybe that is not the right word but it will have to do. The writing is good and certainly keeps you glued to the story. The little bit of a problem with the writing is it seems like we have missed a few books in the series but we haven’t. The older brothers have their women already and the background that is given seems like we should have met them already so I went back and looked and this is the first in the series and I do not see a series prior to this one that would have us meet them (if I am wrong I hope someone lets me know). But there are more coming in the series and I am glad. The other little thing is we really didn’t get to see to much “fireman” in the book but that is ok the story was good enough to let that slide.

Kelly reviews Getting Rowdy by Lori Foster

TITLE: Getting Rowdy
SERIES #: Love Undercover #3
CHARACTERS: Rowdy Yates & Avery Mullins
AUTHOR: Lori Foster
PUBLICATION DATE: September 24, 2013
ORDER LINKS: Amazon| B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
An alpha hero’s attraction to the one woman he can’t have could draw him into a killer’s snare in the sizzling new novel from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster

Charismatic bar owner Rowdy Yates isn’t the kind of man women say no to. So when he approaches waitress Avery Mullins, he fully expects to get her number. However, the elusive beauty has her reasons for keeping her distance—including a past that might come back to haunt them both.

Avery spends her nights working for tips… and trying to forget the secret Rowdy is determined to unearth. But when history threatens to repeat itself, Avery grows to rely on Rowdy’s protective presence. As the sparks between them ignite, she will be forced to choose between the security she’s finally found… and the passion she’s always wanted.

REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts Getting Rowdy was a great read. Rowdy Yates is just about everything you want in a hero. He is dark, dangerous, standoffish, and willing to do anything it takes to protect those who are in need of help.
Avery is a pretty tough cookie. After the last year of her life she is ready to be happy with her new life. But when Avery’s past comes back to haunt her she has a choice to make. Run or make a stand.
I really enjoyed Rowdy and Avery’s stories. Rowdy tries so hard to not let his inner nice guy show, but when you are a pretty nice guy it is going to be hard. I will say there were a few times (early) that I wanted to slap Rowdy upside the head. But all in all I really enjoyed reading this story. And I just realized that I have not read book 1 & 2… Adding those to my list.

Favorite line: “She’s just upset because I love her.”
