Review of Cutthroat by Lori Ryan

Cutthroat: Sutton Capital Series Book 8Cutthroat: Sutton Capital Series Book 8 by Lori Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW! I've not read the series but when I was given the opportunity to read this book , I jumped at the chance. Actions, suspense, drama and an undeniable attraction between the two main characters. This is the 8th book in the series and I can honestly say that you can jump into this series without reading the others first.

I was given this as an advanced reader copy and this is my opinion of what I read.

Review of Huntsman by Jaycee Ford

Huntsman: A Prequel to the Spider SeriesHuntsman: A Prequel to the Spider Series by Jaycee Ford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If I could, I'd give this book more than 5 stars!
I have read and re-read this book 3 times...THREE! Each time I am reduced to tears and I can simply not say enough good things about this book! Truly this is going to be one of those Must Read Series that I recommend to EVERYONE!

Ms.Ford has outdone herself with the writing of this book! The emotional connection you get to the characters is almost overwhelming in it's powerful depiction of PTSD and loss on the battlefield. This might be a novella, but it packs so much emotional content that it feels like a full length novel. I for one can hardly wait to see what comes next in the Spider Series!

I received this book as an ARC and this is my own opinion of this book.

Review of The Billionaires Secret Obsession by JM Madden

The Billionaire's Secret ObsessionThe Billionaire's Secret Obsession by J.M. Madden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest and fair review from the author.
Once again JM Madden shows us the depths of her creative mind by writing us a story of a man who grew up in a family that used money, power, deceit and manipulation to get what they wanted in life. Too bad that life was an empty shell, and one mans secret longing for being accepted for who he was as a man. He saw something in an artist and her paintings as the emotions he saw in those paintings effects him on a deeply hidden level.

This is a love story that shows you the reader, that there is more to a person than what you see on the surface and there's more to life than living it alone.

Review of Love Triage by Liz Crowe

Dallas Fire & Rescue: Love Triage (Kindle Worlds Novella)Dallas Fire & Rescue: Love Triage by Liz Crowe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Liz Crowe is fast becoming one of my "go to" authors when it comes to melt the panties right off of you books!

We've got Wade- brokenhearted super stud and Sam- keep your emotions in check and eye on the prize realtor extraordinaire!

When they first meet, Sam can't run fast enough away from him in her 5 inch heels. She just saw his impressive piece of equipment in all of it's glory while he was naked...with another woman in his backyard. He chases after her (yes naked) and well lets just say she's not receptive to his plea to return.

It takes a chance encounter at at friends house to bring these two back into each others company. I'm going to leave it at that! Buy it and experience the hotness for yourself.
I was given this book by the author and THIS is my personal opinion of her book

Book Release- Embattled Ever After by JM Madden

Embattled Ever After is LIVE!
This is the final book in the Lost and Found Series.



Duncan Wilde has avoided long-term relationships very well since his fiancée left him wounded in the hospital years ago. That one harsh lesson—that he needed to guard his heart—has stuck with him for years. Besides, he's a beat up old Marine well past his time for love. The fiery haired doctor from Kansas City seems to think otherwise, though. Too bad she's so damn young.
Alex Hartfield grew up as a military brat, but she sees something in Duncan that makes her think of permanence and starting a family.  She wants someone to come home to every night and love, and he's the first man that makes her guarded heart race with hope and excitement. 

Now… as they try to understand the dangerous incidents going on around them, they fight to find common ground. But it seems as if fate has some tricks up her sleeve.

Available on all platforms!

Short Excerpt-
While he waited for the truck to warm he grabbed a banana from the browning bunch and took a bite. He really did need to get a few groceries at some point.
Alex came into the kitchen and he paused mid-chew, stunned at what a blow dryer and a little make-up did for her. Now, he liked the natural look as well as any man, but there was something about knowing that a woman had taken care with her appearance just for you that made a man melt. When she met his eyes, she knew he was affected and a slow smile spread her dark pink lips. Then she crossed the kitchen to him and holding his gaze, leaned down to take a bite of the banana in his hand. 
Duncan swallowed, his dick warming with arousal. 
“Hm. I usually like them a little more firm.” She winked at him audaciously, then headed out the door to the garage. 
Damn, that woman was going to kill him. Ridiculously, though, he grinned and followed her out the door.

Long Excerpt-
Then he looked up, his dark eyes in shadow, and Alex remembered how much she wasn't wearing. Though she worked out fairly regularly, she still tended to be a little leaner than was perhaps good for her. With her hours and not so great eating schedule, it was hard for her to gain weight. Her boobs had always been a nice C though, which men seemed to appreciate.
She dropped the towel beside the tub and used the steps to climb in, aware his eyes were on her the entire time. Gasping, she sank down, loving the feel of the heat. "Oh, damn this feels good."
He smiled in agreement and rested his head back against the rim. "As soon as I get in, I can feel the tension in my tendons easing. It's one of the few things that actually helps with my pain."
Heat had wonderful recuperative properties, so she wasn't surprised he enjoyed it so much. They used baths much the same way at the hospital where she worked.
Their legs bumped under the water and she felt him shift away, but they were still in close proximity to each other. Alex wanted to slide over and lean her head against his shoulder, but even that might be too much, too fast. It was a very strange phenomenon, but she felt like she belonged with him. They matched somehow. She wasn't sure how exactly, but it was enough to keep her looking for ways to get in.
"I wanted to thank you for going with me tonight," he told her quietly. "You kind of got sucked into the drama."
Alex chuckled. "Well, I don't mind drama. And I was with you, so it was all good."
He gave her a narrow-eyed look. "I'm not a catch, Alex."
She shrugged, knowing he was trying to warn her off. "I'm not after a catch. I'd be happy with a guy who knew how to show a girl a good time."
Grinning, she allowed herself to slip under the water, then lifted back up, slicking her hair back. Duncan continued to stare at her, as if he still couldn't believe her words. Well, if he wouldn't believe her words, maybe he would believe her actions.
In spite of her feeling that they should move slowly, she pushed across the suddenly small tub. Making sure to keep her hips angled out so that there was no chance she would bump into him, she rested her hands on his strong shoulders. His hands came up to hold her ribs and he gave her the perfect support she needed to lean in for a soft kiss. For a moment she feared he would push her away, but he didn't.
He tasted of...she wasn't sure what. But it was minty and spicy and exciting and intriguing. In spite of her plans to keep it short, Alex lingered. With one hand she reached up, cupping his lean cheek. It bristled with beard hairs, but she smoothed down, with the lay of the grain. Feeling a little daring she reached out with the tip of her tongue, tasting his lower lip.

For most of this Duncan held completely still and let her do what she wanted, not responding to her kiss. But when she tasted him, licking along his lips, he seemed to give in to some inner struggle. One of his hands moved down to cup her hip, pulling her deeper into the water, and the other hand reached up to cup the back of her head. Then, using his grip on her hair, he took control of the kiss.

Review of Embattled Ever After by JM Madden

Embattled Ever After (Lost and Found #5)Embattled Ever After by J.M. Madden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the book we've been waiting for ever since Embattled Hearts. Duncan Wilde finally gets his story. Ms. Madden has done a superb job at depicting real life situations for her characters in her Lost and Found series.

When I first discovered her books a few years ago I was astounded to find that she had no military background, yet she writes as though she has lived the military lifestyle. Being a military brat and spouse of a career military veteran, I found myself drawn to her books like a moth to a flame.
Ms. Madden never once downplays the seriousness of conditions such PTSD or holds back on the true to life situations that her military men and women go through in her books. It's obvious that she's done extensive research on PTSD and the various injuries depicted by her characters. She's honest and true when she describes her characters emotions. It's because of these qualities in her ability as a writer to make her characters leap off of the page and grab your heartstrings.

We get to see most of the characters make an appearance in this book. As secrets are revealed, there are more introduced. Ms. Madden has written an emotionally gripping book, one that has lots of suspense, just the right touch of heart pounding drama, heartbreak, healing and a true everlasting love. Buy this book, you will not be disappointed!

Cover Reveal of SEAL's Christmas Dream ByLindsey McKenna, JM Madden, KaLyn Cooper

SEAL's Christmas Dream by J.M. Madden
When Veterinarian Willow James' office is broken into, it's natural that she turn to her soul mate, former Navy SEAL K9 handler Joe Flynn, to track down the culprits. The trail leads to a notorious Pit-Bull fighting ring. It may take a Christmas miracle and a helpful nudge from an old partner to get everyone home safely. Noel's Puppy Power by KaLyn Cooper Tanner Hill is better at communicating with animals than women. That might be why he hasn’t had a second date in over two years. He’s also been extremely busy with his kennel that has become the premier training facility, specializing in supplying dogs to veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Then again, there is this psychologist he can’t get out of his head, or his heart. Dr. Bailey Conrad would never allow the loss of half her right leg to an IED in Iraq to stop her. Every day at the VA hospital, she sees patients who have lost so much more to the war effort. It’s her goal in life to help as many vets as possible to find a 'new normal', because she knows firsthand, it’s the internal scars that can be the most difficult to heal. Snowflake’s Gift by Lindsay McKenna Two veterans—one human,one canine—have returned to Montana to recover from the traumas of war. Former Army Ranger Nick Conway depended on his WMD dog Snowflake to help him navigate IEDs on the battlefield. Now he needs his best friend to help him cope with his PTSD and acclimate to civilian life. When he meets Holly McGuire and agrees to help her deliver meals to the elderly, her inner light calls to him, but his demons hold him back from giving in to his attraction. But Snowflake takes an immediate shine to the kindhearted Holly—and he has never led Nick down the wrong path.

IMPORTANT NOTICE Ellora's Cave is out of business!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: I have just been made aware that Ellora's Cave is going going gone! They are OUT OF BUSINESS!!!. Hopefully those  authors that they represented will be able to salvage something,from this Hot Mess! 

Now this is news that I've learned from an authors page and here is what she had to say about the ordeal...

IMPORTANT NOTICE: I have just been made aware that Ellora's Cave have gone out of business. I will be able to get my rights back, however apparently at the cost of any outstanding royalties. My books will likely remain active on Amazon etc., until December 31st, 2016, but I will NOT receive royalties on any sold!

So... in essence lets be sure to NOT buy any books from authors that have books currently under the Ellora's Cave banner. Lets wait until after the first of the year when they have true ownership of their books and are able to properly collect on the royalties due to them for their books sales.

Review- Army Brat by Lisa Wilde

Army BratArmy Brat by Lisa Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars...I wish I could give this book more because it just speaks volumes as to what gay men and women in the military goes through.
"Army Brat" is the first book that I have read by author Lisa Wilde and I can say with all honestly, I hope that there will be a sequel to this book. This is a m/m romance.

The main Characters Truman "Tru" and Jordan are no different from anyone else other than the fact that they are two men that have that instant spark or attraction. This book was so well written, it shows the real and true struggle for our two lead characters as they try to come to terms with their emotions. Ms. Wilde has written a love story between two men without it being trashy or all wrapped up in erotic sex. There is a REAL story here. You can feel Jordan's anguish practically leap off of the page as he deals with his denial about falling in love with Tru,the base commanders kid. Love, real honest to goodness this is "The One" kind of love- it's an overwhelming emotion, one he's not ready to come to terms with. Tru is something else...I loved everything about this guy! He's so innocent and yet he knows what he wants. I honestly cried in a few parts of this book. I hope that Ms. Wilde writes a sequel, not a series but a sequel. The book ends with a "Happy for Now" which is much different than a "Happily Ever After". I would love to see where this love story ends.
As far as the sex goes, it's done in a realistic fashion, it's not put in as a grab you kind of thing, but as a natural progression of their mutual attraction and yes, love for one another although neither character says those words at the time, but you will know that they are in love, there's never any doubt about that.
