Kelly reviews Someone Else’s Skin by Sarah Hillary

TITLE: Someone Else’s Skin
SERIES #: DI Marnie Rome #1
CHARACTERS: Marnie Rome
AUTHOR: Sarah Hillary
NARRATOR: Justine Eyre
PUBLICATION DATE: April 28, 2014
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | Audible

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Winner of the Theakston’s 2015 Crime Novel of the Year, and a 2014 Richard and Judy Book Club pick. Devastating and brilliant, Sarah Hilary’s SOMEONE ELSE’S SKIN has been acclaimed as ‘stunning’ by Mark Billingham and ‘superbly disturbing’ by the Observer.

Called to a woman’s refuge to take a routine witness statement, DI Marnie Rome instead walks in on an attempted murder.
Trying to uncover the truth from layers of secrets, Marnie finds herself confronting her own demons.
Because she, of all people, knows that it can be those closest to us we should fear the most .

REVIEW:
I picked this audio book up because I really enjoy Justine Eyre reading to me. This was my first Sarah Hillary book and I really enjoyed it.
I will start by saying that this book was a little slow to begin with. But like every good book you have to world build. There was a lot of world building and us learning about DI Marine Rome. As the story went on we learn more and more about Marine. We get to see into her mind and how she solves cases. We also get to see how she handles personal issues. I really liked DI Marine Rome and would want her on any case I was involved in. The case of side characters are very interesting too.
I don’t want to give anything away by telling you what happens. But at the end of the book I kept waiting for more of the story. I was driving and the end came and I yelled at my stereo “Wait, What??? You’re not done!!!! Keep going”. I didn’t want the story to end. I wanted to know what happens next.
I am looking forward to the next adventure the Rome and her detectives go one.

Winter Romance Wednesday! Kelly & Kimberly review All Wrapped Up by Kimberly Kincaid

TITLE: All Wrapped Up
SERIES #: Pine Mountain #5
CHARACTERS: Nick Brennan & Ava Mancuso
AUTHOR: Kimberly Kincaid
PUBLICATION DATE: September 29, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Talk about a hot lead…
Christmas is coming to Pine Mountain—and it has a way of stirring up memories, good and bad. Nick Brennan may manage the Double Shot bar smooth as good whiskey, but his past is a hot mess. When he runs into a burning building to save a little boy, some people start thinking there’s more to his heroism than holiday spirit. And then the local reporter assigned to the story turns out to be gorgeous Ava Mancuso, the girl who got away.
Ava knows what it’s like to have a past. But the changes she’s seen in Nick since she knew him do more than set off her natural curiosity—his warm eyes and gruff charm have her instincts fired up. Still, all the chemistry in the world doesn’t erase history, even when Nick invites her to his little sister’s mistletoe wedding. Does he have a heart under all those secrets? Or is this going to be just another Christmas past?

KELLY’S REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts As with all Ms. Kincaid’s stories we get a sweet second chance at life romance. In All Wrapped Up we finally get to learn more about the secretive Brennan. Are local bartender has a lot of demons in his past and they are all about to come roaring back into his life. First in the form of his old flame Ava, then in the form of reality and what lead him to Pine Mountain to begin with.
This was a sweet quick read. Nick “aka” Brennan is the hero that you want to slap silly and then hug the tar out of. He is both heroic and a pain in the buttock all at the same time. But it was so good to read his story and learn more about him. And his lady love Ava. She is such a great match for him. She is strong, determined and always respects the story that is in front of her.
While it looks like this may be the end of the Pine Mountain series, never fear there is a new series on the horizon and you will get to meet a few of the guys in this story. I do hope that Ms. Kincaid will revisit Pine Mountain from time to time. I want to know what is happening with the locals. If you have not picked up the Pine Mountain series now is a good time to do so!!!

KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
4 Hearts This is the 5th and last in the series. Pine Mountain has been a great place to visit and I am sad to see the series end but I am hoping that the end leads to the next series (hint hint).

Now on to the review of this particular book. I enjoyed it. I thought the characters were interesting and they kept me wanting to know more about them and to watch their story unfold. The story was a bit obvious. It has been done a time or two and left no surprise as to what would happen in the end. But it was still an ending I wanted to get to and enjoy. Some parts of the book made me roll my eyes. I mean if your boss is being a jerk to you over everything that happens wouldn’t you go to HR? But yet Ava just takes it and it got on my nerves some. Nick was sweet and I felt for him regarding what he has been through but he hides behind his past.

I know it sounds like I didn’t enjoy it but I really did like this story. While set in winter with a Christmas wedding (sort of) it has little about the holiday but it really is a sit by a fire and enjoy story.

Kelly reviews Run by Blake Crouch

TITLE: RUN
AUTHOR: Blake Crouch
NARRATOR: Phil Giganto
PUBLICATION DATE: February 24, 2011
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | Audible | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
For fans of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Thomas Harris, picture this: a landscape of American genocide…
5 D A Y S A G O
A rash of bizarre murders swept the country…
Senseless. Brutal. Seemingly unconnected.
A cop walked into a nursing home and unloaded his weapons on elderly and staff alike.
A mass of school shootings.
Prison riots of unprecedented brutality.
Mind-boggling acts of violence in every state.
4 D A Y S A G O
The murders increased ten-fold…
3 D A Y S A G O
The President addressed the nation and begged for calm and peace…
2 D A Y S A G O
The killers began to mobilize…
Y E S T E R D A Y
All the power went out…
T O N I G H T
They’re reading the names of those to be killed on the Emergency Broadcast System. You are listening over the battery-powered radio on your kitchen table, and they’ve just read yours.
Your name is Jack Colclough. You have a wife, a daughter, and a young son. You live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. People are coming to your house to kill you and your family. You don’t know why, but you don’t have time to think about that anymore.
You only have time to….
RUN

REVIEW:
In RUN we follow the Colclough family as they battle to stay alive, together and for an uncertain future.

Oh my goodness this story left me a little traumatised. Mr. Crouch knows how to write a story that leaves you with a lot of WTF’s. There is a lot that happens in this book. A lot of unanswered questions. A lot of Oh my god moments. A lot of yelling “RUN!!!!!” to my audio book. And tears, yes there were tears in my eyes many times. As I listened to this book I found myself right there next to Jack, Dee and the kids. I found myself looking over my shoulder a few times.
This book is not for the faint of heart. Each page brings a new horror and just when you think it can’t get any worse it does. Seriously, if you can’t handle horror this is not the book for you. But if you like this genre or think you want to give this genre a try pick up a copy of RUN. But be warned this book is intense.

Phil Giganto did a great job of narrating this book. My only issue was some of the voices they were a little hard to tell apart at the beginning. But as the story went on I was able to tell the characters apart better and better. I am glad that I listened to this book on audio.

Kelly reviews Hard As Steel by Laura Kaye

TITLE: Hard as Steel (a 1001 Dark Nights Novella)
SERIES #: Hark Ink #4.5
CHARACTERS: Ike Young & Jessica Jakes
AUTHOR: Laura Kaye
PUBLICATION DATE: September 22, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
After identifying her employer’s dangerous enemies, Jessica Jakes takes refuge at the compound of the Raven Riders Motorcycle Club. Fellow Hard Ink tattooist and Raven leader Ike Young promises to keep Jess safe for as long as it takes, which would be perfect if his close, personal, round-the-clock protection didn’t make it so hard to hide just how much she wants him—and always has.

Ike Young loved and lost a woman in trouble once before. The last thing he needs is alone time with the sexiest and feistiest woman he’s ever known, one he’s purposely kept at a distance for years. Now, Ike’s not sure he can keep his hands or his heart to himself—or that he even wants to anymore. And that means he has to do whatever it takes to hold on to Jess forever.

REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts This was a quick read. I really enjoyed Ike & Jess’ story.
Ike and Jess both have a lot of guilt for things in their past. Things that have kept Ike from following his heart. But with a threat on Jess’ life Ike is thrown into the role of protector. Something that he takes very serious. And he won’t let anyone mess it up even his feeling for the sassy women he is protecting.
What I loved most about this story was that while Jess was in trouble this story focused on the relationship between Ike & Jess. We got to see what really happens when two people are locked up in a cabin out in the middle of nowhere.
Oh and the Pool Table hehehehe…. I will just leave this here for you to think about.
Fans of the Hard Ink series will love Ike & Jess’ story.

Kelly reviews Her Lucky Cowboy by Jennifer Ryan

TITLE: Her Lucky Cowboy
SERIES #: Montana Man #3
CHARACTERS: Dane Bowman & Dr. Bell
AUTHOR: Jennifer Ryan
PUBLICATION DATE: August 25, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Everything’s bigger in Big Sky country, including the hearts of the Montana Men…

Champion rodeo rider Dane Bowden is eight seconds from winning under the Vegas lights, one last hurrah before reluctantly returning to his family’s Montana ranch. But his bull has other plans. When Dane wakes up, he’s sure he’s died and gone to heaven . . . because the doctor who comes to his aid is the same girl who saved his life and disappeared years ago.

Bell would do anything for Dane. He’s the fantasy that always kept her going. A child genius hidden away by her family, Bell was the secret no one talked about, the girl no one wanted. Despite finding success as a young surgeon, she’s still the awkward girl who’s never had a boyfriend. So why does Dane, a notorious playboy and sizzling-hot cowboy, insist on taking her on a real date?

Bell is the only woman in Dane’s heart. When a rodeo rivalry turns deadly, it’s his turn to save Bell’s life—because he sure as hell won’t lose his guardian angel again.

REVIEW:
Dane Bowden is a rowdy hero who is about ready to hang up his hat and finally go home. But Fate has a slightly different plan for him. Oh yes, Dane gets to retire but the how is not exactly how he planned. And a phantom from his past just showed up.

Bell has always known that she is different, that she was unwanted, unloved by all in her family (except her grandpa) but when she agrees to take a trip with her half sister she could never guess the twists and turns that Fate was about to throw her way.

Loved this book!! Loved Dane!!! Loved Bell!! Loved these two together!! Bell had a very rough childhood. She is so unsure of her place in the world. But I loved how she was willing to try to learn, try to adapt and take a leap of fate with Dane. Dane on the other hand had a great childhood. He has never had an issue with life, family or love. But when he sees Bell again nothing will be the same. I really liked seeing how patient Dane is, how he finally grows up and realized what and who he wants. It was great to see Bell finally realize that she is worth more and deserves everything.

I am really enjoying this series and I can’t wait to see what is next of the Montana Men Series. 🙂

Kelly reviews Fighting For It by Jennifer Fusco

TITLE: Fighting For It
SERIES #: Ringside #1
CHARACTERS: Jack Brady & Daniella Chambers
AUTHOR: Jennifer Fusco
PUBLICATION DATE: September 15, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
The first in a sexy new series where the hard-hitters of Las Vegas’s Stamina boxing gym are K.O.-ed by the women they never saw coming…
After suffering a devastating loss during his last fight, heavyweight boxer Jack Brady’s whole career went down for the count. Now, his late manager’s daughter has inherited his contract and Jack is pleased to discover that the girl he fell in love with as a kid has grown into a strong, sexy woman—until she makes it clear that Jack has no choice but to get in the ring.
Daniella Chambers is determined to get her father’s failing gym back on track with Jack’s upcoming fight. She knows Jack’s got the talent to become champion and decides to force the unmotivated fighter away from the neon lights of Vegas to train in the seclusion of her lake house. But when they take a time out from their sessions to steam up the bedroom, the urge to win gets all tangled up with their desires.
Now, Jack’s fight is swiftly approaching, and the fate of the gym isn’t the only thing on the ropes.

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts First: Congrats to Jennifer on her debut contemporary novel. And second: Thank you for Jack and Daniella. I had the honor of reading this book early and let me just say that I loved these two!!!!
Jack Brady was an up and coming boxing star. But Jack played life a little too fast and way too loose one too many times. But sometimes when you are at your lowest point all you need is someone to open the curtain and kick your butt into gear.
Daniella Chambers is back in Las Vegas, not by choice but because she has to honor her father’s wishes. Sadly all she has to work with is a failing gym and a washed up boxer that likes booze and broads too much.
Jack and Daniella are great together. I loved that this story was a second chance at life. not just romance (but that was great too). But a second chance for both Jack and Daniella to put their life back together and to honor RL’s memory. The road is bumping and filled with potholes but together they can do anything. I will say that Jack is a bit of an asshat at times in this story. But grows on you and you want to be sitting ringside cheering him on. Daniella is tough, confident and not willing to take crap from anyone, especially Jack.
If you are looking for a new author, a new series or a new champion make sure to pick up a copy of FIGHTING FOR IT!!!!! Jennifer knocked it out of the park!

Kelly reviews Archangel’s Enigma by Nalini Singh

TITLE: Archangel’s Enigma
SERIES #: Guild Hunter #8
CHARACTERS: Nassir & Andromeda
AUTHOR: Nalini Singh
NARRATOR: Justine Eyre
PUBLICATION DATE: September 1, 2015
RUNTIME: 12 hours & 25 minutes
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | Audible | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Naasir is the most feral of the powerful group of vampires and angels known as the Seven, his loyalty pledged to the Archangel Raphael. When rumors surface of a plot to murder the former Archangel of Persia, now lost in the Sleep of the Ancients, Naasir is dispatched to find him. For only he possesses the tracking skills required—those more common to predatory animals than to man.

Enlisted to accompany Naasir, Andromeda, a young angelic scholar with dangerous secrets, is fascinated by his nature—at once playful and brilliant, sensual and brutal. As they race to find the Sleeping archangel before it’s too late, Naasir will force her to question all she knows…and tempt her to walk into the magnificent, feral darkness of his world. But first they must survive an enemy vicious enough to shatter the greatest taboo of the angelic race and plunge the world into a screaming nightmare

REVIEW:
Naasir!!!! Really do I need to say more? No I don’t, but that would make for a very short review. So here it goes.
In Archangel’s Enigma we finally get to see, understand and unravel the mystery that is Naasir. He is a very complicated creature that wants nothing more than to be loved. We know that Raphael, Elena and the seven love him, Naasir wants a mate. Someone who is just his.
I loved that Naasir went around smelling women to see if they are his potential mate. The first meeting between Naasir and Andromeda had me laughing out loud. As the Guild Hunter series has grown I have wondered what or who would be able to be Naasir’s mate. I have to say I was a bit surprised that his mate was going to be a shy, young scholar. But Andromeda shocked me. She is fierce, loyal and the absolute perfect mate for Naasir. I loved their journey to save Alexander. I loved how these two played together. I loved how they fought for a future together. I loved this book. I loved Naasir and Andromeda and I hope that Nalini will write a follow up novella for these two. One that includes pups. 😀
I will say that the parts about Illium broke my heart and brought many tears to my eyes. I can not wait to see what is in story for everyone’s favorite Bluebell.
As always I had the amazing honor to have the very talented Justine Eyre read this story to me. Justine is so wicked talented it seems a little unfair. I have loved reading/listening to this story from the very first book. Justine does such a great job with the voices both male and female, that you don’t need to be told who is speaking. I have found that if you have a great narrator like Justine they can take an amazing story like Nalini’s and bring it to life. If you have not tried an audiobook I would pick up a copy of Angel’s Blood (bk1) and give this series a try.

AUTHOR: Larissa Ione
PUBLICATION DATE: September 14, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
As a Seminus demon, Raze’s life literally depends on having sex with females. The problem is that he doesn’t desire females, and it’s physically impossible for him to be with males. Thankfully, he and his best friend, Fayle, have an arrangement that keeps him alive . . . if lonely. He finds some solace in his work as a medic at Thirst, a vampire club known for its rough clientele. But his carefully structured world turns upside down when he meets a mysterious male who makes him want what he can never have.

Slake is an assassin used to getting what he wants, and what he wants is Raze. But he also wants to earn back the soul he sold when he was a much different demon. All he has to do is capture a runaway succubus named Fayle and hand her over to her family. What he doesn’t count on is being caught himself by a web of lies—and his attraction to Raze.

Raze and Slake must navigate a dangerous world to be together. But as Fayle’s jealousy of their relationship turns deadly, they find themselves embroiled in a battle not only for their love, but their lives and souls.

REVIEW:
Okay first, EEEEKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *shouts* I love the Demonica series!!!!!!

Kelly reviews Claimed by the Warrior by Savannah Stuart

TITLE: Claimed by the Warrior

CHARACTERS: Con & Leilani
AUTHOR: Savannah Stuart
PUBLICATION DATE:
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Held captive against her will…
When Leilani travels to the mountain region of her new planet, Lumineta, she discovers the remote mountain clan has a law stating that any unmated female in their sector can be forced to live there for one moon cycle. At first she’s livid—until she realizes that being held captive means that the warriors bring her gifts and simply try to impress her as part of their courting rituals. But she’s not interested in anyone except the sexy leader—and living under his roof makes her feel nothing like a captive. He has her rethinking everything she thought she knew about Luminet males.
The last thing he needs in his life is a complicated human female…
Con has never thought much about taking a mate. As leader of his clan, he’s too busy and females are too complicated—especially those mysterious humans. But the longer he’s around Leilani, the more he realizes she’s worth fighting for. Despite his planet’s tradition that says two males mate with one female, he has no intention of sharing—or ever letting her go.

KELLY’S REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts This was a very very quick read. The storyline moves along quickly (it is a novella) yet, it didn’t feel like the story was rushed. The relationship between Con & Leilani was very sweet and challenged both of them at each turn.
I really like this alien world that Savannah. The men are kinda pains in butts, but they learn quickly that while they believe females should be protected they should never underestimate the poor or the rath of a female.
I am looking forward to the next book in this series.
