Review: Beauty and the Badge by Ella Fox

Beauty and the Badge by Ella Fox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ashley Colton has had enough of working for her ungrateful boss and decides to relocate to the home she inherited in Charlotte’s Cove. She is lucky because she easily slips into her new job working for Sheriff Tyler Jameson.

Tyler knows from the moment he sees Ashley she is special. However a woman in town is determined to keep Tyler away from Ashley and its working. Can Tyler win Ashley over in order to give them a shot?

This was a lot of fun. I liked the small town dynamic and Ashley and Tyler together are terrific. Great chemistry and story.

Review: Taming the Biker by Cassie Alexandra

Taming The Biker by Cassie Alexandra
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Taylor(Tail) Adams is a hit it once type of man. He knows he is judged by the locals an being a biker and unsavory but they couldn’t be farther from the truth. Tail is a good guy and when his friend asks him to be in his wedding he steps up. Taylor doesn’t expect to run into Lauren Macey who he went to school with and finds himself enchanted. One night they are together but Lauren is not a one night stand type of girl. When she moves back though Taylor wants to pick up where they left off, but Lauren doesn’t want to be a booty call. Taylor cant stay away though and quickly realizes he wants Lauren by his side.

I liked this a lot but the end was rushed and it did have one thing that just didn’t make sense to me with Lauren. I liked Taylor, he is a charmer for sure. Overall entertaining but end was rushed.

Cover Reveal: Hung Up On You by Marie Landry

Hung Up on You
Marie Landry
Publication date: January 14th 2020
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Julia is single and happy, thank you very much. Try telling that to her happily-coupled bestie, though. She’s so determined to pair Julia off, she brings an extra guy friend along on a weekend getaway, in what’s clearly a set-up attempt. Julia’s interest is immediately piqued by sweet, sexy, nerdy Zack. There’s just one problem: he’s still hung up on his ex. Big time.

Despite knowing that – and despite her attraction to him – it doesn’t stop her friends from throwing them together every other second, insisting they’d make the perfect couple. But Julia is determined to friend zone him. At least until he suggests they pretend to date to get their respective friends off their backs.

At first, their fake “dating” is more friendship than fireworks. But as they get closer, the lines begin to blur between them, and Julia realizes she has to either shut down her developing feelings for Zack or let him in. The question is: can she fully trust him with her heart? Or does his heart still belong to his ex?

Cover Reveal: A Mad Reed Security Christmas by Giulia Lagomarsino

A Mad Reed Security Christmas
Giulia Lagomarsino
(Reed Security, #20)
Publication date: December 18th 2019
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Because Daddy set out traps to catch those f^@kers
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that grenades would soon be in there
The children were nestled, all snug in their beds
While visions of weapons danced in their heads
And Mama in her nightie and I in my boxers
Had just settled down for a fun night together
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to grab my Sig Sauer
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Covered my junk and threw Mama her pants…

Author Bio:

I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Cover Reveal: A Very Wicked Man by Geneva Lee

A Very Wicked Man
Geneva Lee
Publication date: January 21st 2020
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

I fell in love with her the moment we met. Emerald-green eyes and a quick smile, Adair MacLaine had everything. Money. Looks. A powerful family. She wanted something reckless. She wanted me—until daddy made her choose between her trust fund and true love.

She chose poorly.

Because empires crumble and now her older brother is offering her to the highest bidder in exchange for an alliance. The winner claims the MacLaine legacy—and her.

Adair has no idea she’s the prize in this twisted game. She has no idea why I’ve come back. Maybe she thinks I still love her. Maybe she’s forgotten me, but what she doesn’t know will hurt her, because I didn’t come back to win her.

I came back to break her.

Review: Kat's Hunter by Stacy Barnett

Kat’s Hunter: The Fallen Angel’s Mc 3 by The Fallen Angel’s Mc 3 Stacy Barnett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Kat wants to return back to the man who stole her heart. She is the enforcer and daughter to the President of the Devils Soldiers MC. When her father gives his blessing she heads to Hunter who is part of the Fallen Angels MC and begins her life. However she has a package in tow that needs protection and brings danger to their door.

I liked most of this but I dont like the “daddy’ talk, it just doesn’t work for me. I think if it wasn’t so tied into her dad in the beginning I probably would not have honed in on it as much. Fun biker story though.

EXCERPT:

When I reach the bathroom, I see Olivia standing in front of the mirror, already brushing her teeth. She changed out of her clothes. She’s now wearing a tank top with a tiny pair of shorts that show off her perfect tanned legs. I stop in the doorway as she continues to brush, but her eyes are on the mirror staring back at me.

“I knew you were beautiful this evening, but you are more beautiful without the makeup and the outfit,” I say, before realizing that I am actually saying the words to her and not in my head. I walk behind her and place my phone down on the sink. She remains quiet, not sure what’s going on between us. I’ll make it clear to her so she’ll understand.

My hand goes up to her arm, causing her body to freeze from my touch. God! She feels so good just like I imagined she would. Her skin’s so soft. Her eyes remain on the mirror watching my every move. I can feel her eyes begging me to keep going. She wants me to touch her.

I part her hair to both sides of her shoulders as I kiss the back of her neck. She lets out a little moan as she closes her eyes. “Keep your eyes on me,” I tell her as she opens them and watches me through the mirror. “Perfect,” I whisper against her ear. My tongue slides down her earlobe as my right-hand slides around her back to her stomach. I lift her shirt up a few inches, exposing her toned stomach. I pull her body into mine as I begin to kiss her neck harder, leaving marks along the way. Her skin tastes like strawberry. It’s a good thing I have always liked strawberries. I always found them to be tasty. Another moan escapes her throat. “You are always there for Mom when she needs you,” I whisper into her ear. “Whenever Savannah needs something, you get it, no questions asked. Greg lost his mom and you were on a mission to find her even if it took us all night. You are always there for everyone. My question is, who is there for you, Olivia?” I can feel her body getting hotter by the minute. I’m turning her on so I keep going. “Who takes care of your needs?” I watch her as she inhales and exhales slowly.

I’m about to tell her that I will fulfill her every need when my phone rings. I ignore it while I suck her skin into my mouth.

“You should probably get that. Wouldn’t want to upset your girlfriend.” Olivia says annoyed, slipping away from me and walking out the bathroom, leaving me angry and frustrated.

I make a fist and hit it off the sink. I almost had her and Erika ruined our moment.

Author Bio:
