review of Miss Bingley's Christmas by Renata McMann

Miss Bingley's ChristmasMiss Bingley's Christmas by Renata McMann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a first for me-reading a book from Miss Bingley's perspective. It was everything charming and delightful. She starts off as this bitter person, the one we love to hate in every rendition of Pride and Prejudice, but as she spent in company of what she called "the less fashionable", she started seeing things in a different manner. We see a big change in Caroline and it's one that I loved seeing.
This book is not one to be passed upon! Make sure to pick up a copy and see how the Christmas Spirit can change a lonely bitter woman to one who finds love in the least expected place.

review of Lost and Found Pieces by J.M. Madden

Lost and Found Pieces (Lost and Found, #5.7)Lost and Found Pieces by J.M. Madden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No Christmas is complete without a Lost and Found Christmas Story! Author JM Madden has given her fans a true gift-it’s seeing their favorite Lost and Found members at Christmas.
Zeke & Ember and Little Drew will tug at your heart strings.
Gabe & Julie- growing stronger together.
John & Shannon- you’re going to see the growth in their relationship and how having a house full of pets and a couple of babies has filled him full of love and appreciation for the riches he has in his life. Caden and Wyatt- twin little boys I hope we see more of as they grow. Poor Pickle- keep that cat in your prayers people, LOL!
And you get to meet Sam Willet my favorite ginger, really meet him! You find out about his injuries (a lot of research went into his injury and it’s a whopper). He’s a hero in every sense of the word in”The Purple Christmas Miracle”.
Sparrow Holmes is our heroine and it’s a match made the LNF way! Sparrow is surprising as much as she is refreshing in Willet eyes. Willet saw Sparrow, really saw her for her and not just her purple hair. I’m looking forward to seeing their relationship evolve. 💜 Thank you JM Madden for this wonderful heartwarming series of Christmas Novellas. Merry Christmas!

review of Flowers in Winter by Mary J Williams

Flowers in Winter (Hart of Rock and Roll #5)Flowers in Winter by Mary J. Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

when an author who writes a book that touches you, you read her books...all of them. Then she writes a book that just is the best thing next to a slice of chocolate cake and coffee- that would be this book!
Her characters are life like and likable. Tula and Fleet, truly the best book in this series!
Ms Williams books are the kind that stay with you, ones you read and reread more than once. Ones you not only have in e-format but hard copy on a physical book shelf. You’ll tell your friends to read her books because they are that good. She’s not filling the pages of her books with meaningless physical encounters, she’s pulling you in with situations and back stories of her characters so you get to know them.
I’m not giving you ANY scoop on what happens in this book, I want you to buy the series and discover this wonderful series for yourself. To discover that there’s more to this talented writer/author then just this book or series.

Review of Defenseless by Elizabeth Dyer

Defenseless (Somerton Security #1)Defenseless by Elizabeth Dyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Elizabeth Dyer writes one action packed suspense! The characters she wrote have chemistry. Parker is more than a tech geek and Georgia is more than an ex- Marine (is there even a thing as an ex-Marine?). The characters are likeable, the plot moves at a good pace and keeps the reader interested.

Review of Cowboy Up by Harper Sloan

Cowboy Up (Coming Home, #3)Cowboy Up by Harper Sloan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give this book a solid 4 star rating
Having not read the series and starting with what is apparently the last book, I felt a little lost as to what other reviewers felt while reading this book. BUT that doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy it (I just have to go read the others in the series).

Clay and Caroline have this instant attraction and spent a hot night together. They have an undeniable charts chemistry in this book . There are good guys, bad guys and poor Caroline has a string of bad-luck that would make me want to hide, but all in all she's feeling more secure and more confident because of the love she and Clay share for one another.

I received this as an ARC through Netgalley and this is my honest opinion of what I've read.

review of The Cowboy SEALs Christmas Baby by Laura Marie Altom

The Cowboy Seal's Christmas BabyThe Cowboy Seal's Christmas Baby by Laura Marie Altom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ms Altom had at the first page of this book. Gideon Snow is an enigma. When two people are thrown together during extraordinary circumstances, it binds them.
Christmas is a magical time of year and anything can happen...even falling in love.

This story will tug at your heartstrings as it’s such a beautiful story of happenstance and of the heart knowing what it wants.
Buy it. Read it. Tell your friends how they want to read it too!

Review of Naughty by Nature by J.M. Madden

Naughty by Nature (The Lowells of Honeywell, Texas, #2)Naughty by Nature by J.M. Madden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Author J.m. Madden never ceases to amaze me with the emotional depth of her books. There were silent tears streaming down my cheeks as I read parts of this book. She gives you a connection to her characters that makes them feel as if you have known them all of your life. Her words paint a story in our heads and in our hearts. Any woman who has been abused can relate to Cheyenne Lowell and her story. Any man who has lost the love of his life to breast cancer (or any type of cancer) can relate to this story as well. I'm not going to give away the story line, that's not my thing. I'm here to tell you how this book grabbed me emotionally and left me utterly satisfied with the ending.

This is not a series for just women, I feel that men can get a lot out of this series as well. Ms. Madden does her homework and knows her stuff when it comes to PTSD, Abuse of any sort and of course she can write one hell of a bad guy! I think that her years spent in Law Enforcement has given her a better knowledge than most when it comes to some of the kinds of subject matter that she writes about in her books.

From the first page she's snared me with Cheyenne's story, making me want to know more about her and about Sheriff Sheridan Lane. As I turned pages into the wee hours of the night, I knew that I wasn't willing to put my kindle down until one of two things happened...I finished the book or my kindle bonked me in the face, lucky for me I finished the book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mr. Cleveland once again proves to me that he truly knows who to write a romance! He draws you in from the fist page and keeps your interst going until we get what we want...a Happily Ever After.
We get a back story on our characters, feel their fear of rejection, their angst and we also feel their love and joy.
I truly enjoyed this modern twist on Cinderella and you will too!

Review of Untying His Not by J.M. Madden

Untying His Not (The Lowells of Honeywell, Texas, #1)Untying His Not by J.M. Madden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this book as an ARC and liked it so much that I bought it!

Brock Lowell is certainly one misunderstood cowboy! With so many things going on in his life all at once, it's obvious that he's feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Payton is a woman who knows what she wants, and she's wanted Brock Lowell for a LONG TIME! The simmering attraction between Brock and Payton is going to turn into a Full on BOIL that's going to Steam up Your Glasses! So pour yourself a tall glass of ice tea, turn the ceiling fan on high and be prepared to have your socks knocked off as Ms. Madden shows us all how lovin' is done Cowboy Style!

About the Book:

 
Falling out of love with Colby Ryan wasn't working...

There hasn't been a woman who's held Colby Ryan's heart for long, not since his teenage love went awry twelve years ago. Now, all of a sudden, Dakota Jennings, his longtime family friend and trusted wrangler on the Circle R ranch, is catching his eye. For Dakota’s sake, Colby won't ever give in to the temptation she poses.

Dakota has been secretly in love with Colby since the age of ten, but his sense of honor and the Texas code he lives by won’t allow her permanence in his heart. Up until this point, he’d never hinted at romance between them and yet, falling out of love with him just plain isn’t working.

Colby has always protected Dakota, and he isn’t about to stop now. If he gives in to his desire, she stands to lose far too much. Colby doesn’t deserve her love, he's already ruined one life, but the binds that tie them are strong. Can Dakota be the woman to redeem his broken soul?

book review Renegade- Rodeo Knights by Laura Marie Altom

Renegade (Rodeo Knights, #5)Renegade by Laura Marie Altom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder, Mystery and Mayhem and a second chance romance with a Navy SEAL - Hooo Wheee!

Laura Marie Altom knows how to write suspense! Hang on people because this is one heck of a ride! I'm not going to give you a chapter by chapter run down, that's not my style. Rather I'll give you my opinion...

This was so good that I read it twice in order to be able to give my review justice. I was on the edge of my seat throughout this entire book. There were times that I had actual goosebumps. The heartache and suffering that our Main characters Delilah Bowing and Sawyer Crow not to mention the hardships they experienced because of another person tugged at my heartstrings. The Murder, Mystery and Mayhem in this book is wonderfully written and it's a well thought out plot! I'm usually pretty good at figuring out the plot, but there were some twists and turns that I did not see coming! Mighty fine writing and I was stunned!
So, in conclusion- If you like murder mysteries like I do, you're going to LOVE this book!

Review of Royal's Redemption by AC Wilson

Royal's RedemptionRoyal's Redemption by A.C. Wilson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received Royal's Redemption as an ARC and this is my honest review, but I'll have you know that I also purchased this book.

Ms Wilson can write angst and unspoken heartache, the kind that leaves silent tears streaming down your face and a lump in your throat. Don't read this book without tissues in hand. My current Book Hangover today I clearly blame on Ms Wilson! I fell asleep with my kindle in hand and woke up needing a full carafe of coffee and started reading some more. I read it for a second time to get that angsty feel that is throughout this book. My nose has finally stopped running and here I am typing away finally finding the words that eluded me yesterday.
You could feel the instant connection between Royal and Anisley. There is a mystery to be solved in this book and frustrations to overcome when you see our two main characters lack of communication with one another. You knew that they loved one another but were so afraid to let themselves feel that vulnerable to anyone, you feel that throughout the entire book. There's a lot to be said about Royal as he matures as he grows into the man I hoped he would be. I hope that we see more of this couple in the future.

Review- Lost and Found series Box Set by J.M. Madden

Lost and Found Series Box SetLost and Found Series Box Set by J.M. Madden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've read each of these stories as they were purchased as individual books. Each book in the Lost and Found series is an amazing tribute to combat modified veterans and to the service men and women they served with. Ms. Madden writes about real life issues in relation to the various injuries suffered to the military men and women while in combat situations not limited to PTSD. I have high respect for any author who writes of the human condition, but most especially for this author and this series as she does not glamorize this nor does she seek fame or fortune by it. She writes from the heart and wants to give each and every combat modified veteran their own HEA by finding the person that accepts them for who they are on outside and for truly seeing the person they are in the inside.

Review of Cowboys Forgive by Rhonda Lee Carver

Cowboys Forgive (Cowboys of Nirvana Book 8)Cowboys Forgive by Rhonda Lee Carver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jace and Jessa...

This (in my honest opinion) was not a second chance love story but more of two people getting to know one another as adults. Just because you were snobbish while in high school doesn't mean that you are still that way...

There's angst, attraction, heat and a touch of immaturity - it seemed to me that Jace was punishing Jessa for her refusing to to to the prom with him oh so many years ago. It's also good that Jessa knows what she wants and sets her sights on Jace...
It's a great addition to the Cowboy's of Nirvana series. It's one full of laughter and amusement after Jace has an accident and mistakes Jessa as someone else, life will never be the same.

I received this as an ARC and this is my honest opinion of what I have read.

Review of Recluse by Jaycee Ford

Recluse (Spider Series, #1)Recluse by Jaycee Ford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have read all of Jaycee Ford's books- I was instantly hooked after reading "Watching Fireflies" and continued on to read the entire Love Bug series. I enjoyed her Love Bug series and was excited to see that she brought this series into that same small town- just 10 years later and one year after the death of one of the characters.
**Warning this story does stop abruptly with a "to be continued", I was not expecting that.

Recluse started off with a BANG! It's kept my interest piqued but it did lag at times. I loved how Wyatt and Grace just clicked, even Grace's daughter Chloe was right there making this story of moving on after a tragic death one that was very believable.

There is mystery and intrigue in this true to form "whodunit" and I'm looking forward to reading the conclusion- hopefully Ms Ford will not lead us into another cliff hanger.
I received this book as an ARC and this is my honest opinion of what I have read.

Nick Sanders, a baseball player with the Seattle Cyclones is in search of answers after his mothers death. He may have grown up poor but there was never any doubt that his mother loved him with all of her heart. His story takes us to Jasper Maine where he meets business woman Rowan Cartwright. You can feel the connection that Ms Williams gives these two characters as you read the book. You will cry silent tears, you will laugh out loud but most of all you'll fall in love with and amazing book.

editorial by the blog owner

I value my time, as both a reader and a book blogger. Over the past year I've read a great number of books- most of which I've posted reviews for and maybe more than 100 in which I did not. Why not? Because I refuse to give credit to shoddy writing. I refuse to continue to read books written by authors who obviously hate women. Book after book of female lead characters that are written as brainless doormats, or nothing more sex-bots there to service their men, seriously, I want more than the hero of the book to come home and do nothing but shag his love interest 50 different ways until Sunday. I want a story! A real honest to goodness story, one that makes the sex meaning full and not there to fill a space or word count requirement. Authors who are going on the old adage that "Sex Sells" no longer make MY List. Do I like sex in a story? Yes, but quality writing of a story doesn't depend upon it. It doesn't matter to me if you're a USA Today or NYT Best Seller or a Brand New Indie Author- you either write a story that grabs me by the socks with your story or I'm done! That's the honest truth, I expect quality writing as should we all.

Meet the Author:

A lifelong resident of northern New Jersey, Dawn Altieri has been scribbling stories practically since birth. After reaching a milestone birthday (she won’t say which one), she figured it was about time she took a shot at writing professionally. With an overactive imagination and a slightly twisted mind, she enjoys reading dark and dangerous tales almost as much as writing them. When she’s not curled up on the sofa with her laptop, her latest story, a box of chocolates and a cup of tea (or a glass of wine, depending on the time of day), she can be found volunteering in the world of animal rescue. She shares her home with her husband and daughter, and a menagerie of rescued fur-babies.
