Review: It's You

It's You by Katy Regnery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have just finished Book One in the paranormal world of Kate Regnery writing as K.P. Kelley, and I’m champing at the bite for number two, I don’t think I can wait.

I was pulled straight into the story, which for the first half the book is from Darcy’s point of view. We start with Darcy who we find out she can’t forget the boy that kissed her after the school play twenty years before.
When looking out the window at church she sees Jack, and can’t believe her eyes. All the feelings and desires she has been denying come roaring back. When they meet Darcy realises he feels the same way.
Darcy is a botanist and a scientist, which leads her to doubt anything that doesn’t make sense. So although inside she has this feelings, she tells Jack she wants to take it slow.
This is a romance so they don’t take it slow, and before know it they so in love and in bed HOT very hot but only Jack admits his love out loud.
After what Darcy feels is insurmountable differences. A heartbroken Jack goes to visit his family.
The second half of the book is from Jack’s point of view, which is sad in places, but gripping none the less.
We see the same school scene through Jack’s eyes.
Such a gripping romance with a difference, and I cannot recommend this book enough. At least Book two is not that far away. I think I might survive. I have no doubt that this book will appeal to all lovers of romance and paranormal, as first and foremost this is a fantastic love story, with some great extras. I loved it! Anyone who reads my reviews know I rarely give five stars, but I couldn’t give it less.

Review: Bette & the Beast

Bette & the Beast by Liza Penn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This a short novella introducing us to Hotel Ever After, Bette owns a beautiful, but rundown Book shop called HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
The Beast of the title is Richard, the Hotel Developer wanting to buy the shop so he can build his Hotel.
Bette's father sets up a dinner meeting, without Bette not realising who he really is. They fall very quickly in lust, which turns into love.
This is a very short novella, and everything happens very quickly, which is the nature of the beast.
That being said, they great to read between getting into something much longer, but want a quick fix in- between others.
The beef for me is I like a bit more meat on the bones, but this wouldn't be a novella if that was the case.
I enjoyed the characters, and what a great place to pick to play out other adult Fairytales.
This series of stories are going to be publish a new one once a month

This is what Liza Penn says about:
The Hotel Ever After Books
Sexy, modern stories with a happily ever after
Each of the Hotel Ever After books is (very) loosely based on a fairy tale. Which means they're all guaranteed to have a happily ever after. They're also guaranteed to have a (very) sexy twist. My heroines aren't literally princesses, but they are very much in control of their destiny--and they're not afraid to take exactly what they want from their prince charmings!
Important note: these stories are novellas, each about 75-100 pages long. Perfect for an afternoon tryst!

Review: Something There In Between

Something There In Between by S. Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Somewhere there in Between is not an easy book to talk about as it deals with rape and child abuse. Something Bree the heroine of the story suffered from. As well as Declan and Jake, that’s how Declan recognises the symptoms and behaviour in Bree when he spots her sitting in the park every night.
I think the author has dealt with the subject really well, and showed how the affects that stay with you for a long time after.
I enjoyed the book, because Bree found hope with help from others and firstly herself. It was her journey to be able to love herself to be able to have some kind of relationship with Declan.
Overall I enjoyed watching her relationship grow, and not be rushed. I loved Declan, I wouldn’t mind him for myself, but he only has eyes for Bree.
Also a good cast of characters, hopefully further books where others get HEA. I felt invested in the characters, and the book stayed with me long after reading the book.
This is a very intense journey I followed with Bree. The book is told from alternate views Bree and Declan. I think that helped me, be were carried along with the emotion. I would recommend this book as long as you realise the subjects are dealt realistically. I enjoyed the book all the more for it.

Review: Incandescently

Incandescently by Sylvie Parizeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Incandescently by Sylvie Parizeau
 
I don’t know how to start this review, that’s because there is so much about the book I loved.
We have the prologue, and straight into Liam’s nightmare of waves and drowning. I think you have read the synopsis, and I not going to about that, as it covers the basic outline of the book.
 This book is magic, and at times funny tragic, when both Liam and Éiolie try to use a laundry and going to buy food, and realise neither one can cook. It’s the intense connection with each other, even as children they connected as she saved his life when he was kidnapped and beaten within an inch of his life when he was seven.
The stories that kept the fear away became real for him and his friends. Later turning Liam into a bestselling author.
What I can tell you, this is a remarkable book, and I read straight through. Liam and Éiolie   search to find their normal, and start building their Happy ever after, which they realise is an ongoing quest to enjoy the life they created, we a lot of help from his friends. I now learn book 2 is available now, and centre’s around Zac, and is called Apprehension. There is a brief visit to Apprehension at the end of the book. So when I say this for me was a 5* read, I rarely give a 5.This book deserved it. This is first story I’ve read of this author, and it won’t be the last. I now have book 2 to look forward reading.

Review: Exchange of Power

Exchange of Power by Andrea Bills
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Exchange of Power by Andrea Bills

When a man loves a woman she becomes his weakness. When a truly loves a man he becomes her strength. This is called Exchange of Power.
I truly loved the dedication at the start of the book, as you will find out when you read this book. This is the first book in a series, so there was quite a lot of world building. Even though you have a couple at the centre of the story. That wasn’t the whole picture, we have spies, conspiracy and attempted murder.
Hannah and Nick who have been together 10 years, four years married. When her husband is killed, Hannah is weighed down with grief for nearly a year. When her sister finally starts to pull her out. Then one night her dog is attacked.
In comes Austin a family friend with hunky Bodyguard Jared. Hannah also finds out something that almost sends her spirally back down.
We have a government very secret agency up to no good and Austin tries to find out what’s going on.
This book had adventure, twists you won’t see coming. Romance for Jared and Hannah. This plenty more going on, but that’s for you to find out by reading this yourself. I am now waiting for book two, as with a series not everything resolves itself. The main couple Jared and Hannah seem happy
together at the end. I sure there will plenty more adventure in book two.
If you enjoy a good romance, with lots of suspense. Hunky special agents, then I recommend this book for you.

Review: Three Sweet Nothings

Three Sweet Nothings by Nikki Sloane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Three Sweet Nothings by Nikki Sloane
Three Sweet Nothings is a second chance sexy love story. Ruby and Kyle met when they were in law school, due to a misunderstanding at graduation leaving them disillusioned with love and each other.
Kyle went to New York after Law school and hasn’t seen Ruby since. Kyle has now come home to Chicago and working at the family Law firm.
When they finally meet it is when Ruby arrives at the law firm with a client to meet with the wife’s attorney who happens to be Kyle. Ruby loses her temper on seeing Kyle and slaps him in public.

This leads into situation where Kyle comes up with the idea of a sexual only contract, as they both are really attracted to the other, but misunderstandings from the past leaves them both with issues. The contract is only sexual, no emotional misunderstandings. What was my opinion of the book, I enjoyed it and find it easy to get into. I really loved Kyle, but took me a little longer to appreciate Ruby.
The sex was steaming hot and I really enjoyed reading the story and can’t wait to read what happens in the next book. This is the first book I’ve read of Nikki Sloane, but it won’t be the last. If you like your sex hot? The men even hotter, then this is the book for you. The steam factor was of the charts, it took my kindle a while to cool off.

Review: Christmas with the Cunninghams: A Mavericks Novella

Christmas with the Cunninghams: A Mavericks Novella by Julianna Marley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It was wonderful to catch up with Shay and Whitney with baby Quinn. It was a lovely Christmas story, which they go to spend with Shay’s large and lively family chaos. This is a Mavericks Novella, but concentrated on whole Cunningham Clan, which was set in West Virginia with plenty of snow surrounding them, adding to the atmosphere.
This was a perfect holiday read, romance, love, loads of food and alcohol to keep warm and happy and a large happy family. What more is there? Read it and find out.

Review: Bad Boys After Dark: Dylan

Bad Boys After Dark: Dylan by Melissa Foster
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bad Boys After Dark
Dylan

In this instalment of Bad boys after dark we meet Dylan and Tiffany who met, and deciding to hook up for sex one time and for one night only. As we know, it wouldn’t a romance if only happened only once.
As always with a Melissa Foster romance they can be picked up and read as standalone, but if you follow the series you get to meet characters from other books. I have a new book boyfriend called Dylan, he was sexy hot hunk of male and I want him. Unfortunately he fell for Tiffany, almost lust at first sight. Tiffany was a hard woman for Dylan to make an impression on. Tiffany is a hard noised sports agent and growing up in a house with her father a retired Football player and two brothers in the sport she has learn to play hard ball.
This is a great love story, which takes hard work on both sides to make it work.
I loved it, and can’t wait for more stories about the Bad Brothers. As always Melissa Foster never fails to hit the spot. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

It's always a pleasure to read a new Jeffrey Deaver. The only problem is you have to finish, and then you enter a period of mourning.
This is a classic Lincoln Rhyme thriller, it keeps you guessing to the end.

Review: The Something More Boxed Set

The Something More Boxed Set by Danielle Pearl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This review is for all 3 stories, as it was hard to put it down. The first story Normal was the harrowing account through Rory’s eyes. Where the past is interspersed and unfolding along with the present. Seeing how her relationship with Robin unfolds, seen through her eyes is written really well, even if to some the self-blame may be overtop, I think it captured the manipulations by others very well . We also see her relationship with Sam develop, and it was lovely to see.
We then have Recap, where we see everything through Sam’s eyes, and follows meeting Rory and everything up to the end of Normal. This gave us another perspective, and we saw Rory through different eyes.
The third story Normal was told from a dual perspective, Rory and Sam. We also see all the repercussions from the Miami trip. It was wonderful to see Rory growing stronger and more of a normal teenage girl, by the end of this book. This was a gripping account the rape and sexual abuse of a teenage girl, and how it affected all aspects of her life. Never the less it is a story of hope and happiness.

Review: No White Knight

No White Knight by Alta Hensley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not A White Knight

Not a White Knight is actually two novellas previously published in anthologies. So the Author has combined the two stories in one book. The first story was a contemporary, but dark and the second was a Sci Fi, so I am reviewing separately.

Book One
A Hero in Disguise

The story starts with Jessa a young woman lost in West Virginia looking for a holiday cabin she had booked for a break. In an area with little or no phone signal, and sat nav on the blink she is completely lost. Finally seeing a land mark, and seeing signal she stops the car to stretch her legs. Jessa is then kidnapped and chained up with other women. I think you need to read the rest yourself. Jessa finds herself in very dangerous situation and she feels death is the better option. There is some upsetting scenes, but they are over quickly and remember we have a HEA.

Book 2
Pallid Slave
We have planet decimated by years of aggression from another planet trying to discover the secrets in the DNA of the lifeblood twins. So many have died in battle, they have allowed the twins to live because there is not enough to study, and stock must replenished. Sadly our heroine Truth has lost her twin and her lifeblood. When that happens they also lose their colour. They are then sent away to be used as slaves. This is when we meet Truth awaiting transport to a mining planet to be used like a canary in a mine. Our unlikely heroes are a pair of twins Cross and Pike, and the start of adventure. I love Sci Fi and enjoy the imagination that goes in to creating different worlds.
As both books were about 6 chapters each the ends always seemed rushed, but in novella the author has to fit it all in. Sometimes I enjoy novellas in between other books or when I have no time for a large book. Both books flowed well and were easily read. Both with a romance and HEA.

Review: Seaside Whispers

Seaside Whispers by Melissa Foster
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is story of Matt and Mira, part of The Seaside Summer Series. The good thing is they can be read as standalones. Characters from other books may make an appearance, but that do not stop you reading this as a standalone. Our story begins when Matt has taken a sabbatical from Princeton to write a book, and hopefully become better acquainted with Mira and her son Hagen, who he met at his bother Grayson’s engagement party the year before.
They had kept in touch, and manage to meet up when he came home, but only as friends. I loved reading about this couple, it was a wonderful story, very romantic as well as sexy. Every time I finish reading a Melissa Foster romance I am always left on cloud 9. I read many types of books and enjoy them. If I want a romance with a hot sexy male a good storylines with HEA there’s a lot to be said for reading a Melissa Foster book. Good writing, always plenty of emotion, good sexy men, what are you waiting for? Come and meet Matt, Mira and Hagan.

Review: Caught on Camera

Caught on Camera by Madelle Morgan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caught on Camera is a light-hearted comedy of errors type romance with a guaranteed HEA.
Most of the action takes place over a weekend at the wedding of a model and a Hollywood actor, with a cast of Hollywood’s A-list. The heroine of a tale is a simple chambermaid Rachel who is working very hard to afford her fees for Toronto Film School.
The GM of the Hotel had one rule the housekeeping staff have to be plain. So Rachel in her baggy clothes, mousey brown hair and black glasses fitted the bill. As with all fairy tales when Rachel is in the Brides suite, It happens when Catherine “ Candy “ Kane , CEO of Candy Kane Cosmetics finds her Maid of honour had not been allowed in Canada because she had a conviction for Driving under the influence.
Seeing Rachel she asked her to try on the dress. This is how Rachel becomes a guest as the bride’s cousin and a bridesmaid for the weekend festivities.
This book is very entertaining in many ways. I read this on my kindle, and it was programmed with a song list. Every time we came to a particular part, you pressed the link to You Tube and a very good piece of relevant music played. The playlist was listed at the front of the book, and you could ignore it if you wished. So we have a makeover for Rachel, with blonde highlights and wonderful clothes. So she spends a weekend of romance with a friend of the poor groom.
This is a great book for entertainment value, it’s funny, clichéd. As I said a comedy of errors, and Trent accuses Rachel of selling photos to the paparazzi. Rachel was planning to do that, but as she got to know the groom, and realised how he felt about privacy of the wedding ceremony. She couldn’t do that to him. When her phone is found the next day with photos on it. Some very private pictures appear the next day Social Media and television. It obvious they were taken by someone at the wedding. In Trent’s eyes Rachel is the main culprit, when confronted she acts guilty, because she feels guilty. I let you find out the rest when you buy the book.
I recommend this book, if you are the mood for some light hearted entertainment. Sometimes it just what you want. I know it worked for me. I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

Review: More Than Friends

More Than Friends by Monica Murphy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

More than Friends starts just as Just Good Friends finishes. What a great book, we really get up and close with Jordan and Amanda. I love both characters Amanda so different from the other girls she works hard, but because her family is normal and not rich she feels lower socially. She doesn’t see herself as others do.
In this book we see her through Tuttles eyes, as well as others. Amanda is a great character someone you would love as a best friend, proud to have as your daughter. Jordon feels he doesn’t deserve her, or anything that would make him happy.
Jordon makes his claim very early on in the book, and they become a couple. They were beautiful together as they became even closer. We also meet Jordon’s mum and Dad, and have a glimpse into his home life.
The book is written from a dual POV, we really get up and personal. I loved this book, and can’t wait for the next one. I even found myself liking Livvy for the way she supports Amanda. For me it was a straight through read with only the usual breaks. No one writes catty spoilt teenagers like Monica Murphy. I now have to wait for the next book.

Review: Fates Entwined

Fates Entwined by Jules Barnard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Some of Fates Entwined follows the same timeline as Fates Divided. We see what happened to Reece before Keen had found her and made his pledge to Elena to keep her safe. Reese has felt only tolerated by her parents and feels insecure around Keen. The only way to keep Reese safe is for Keen to swear an oath to Portia.
Then we see Portia manipulating everyone to give her power in the Old and New Kingdoms.
Reese had a lot of strength and determination in regards to defend and hold her own against the tall Fae. We see her growth throughout the series so far, Reese by the end of the book feels comfortable in her own skin. I have read the prequel Fates Altered and Fates Divided. I can’t wait for Fates Fulfilled, and then I will read the series again.
I love this book. It was non-stop, we have action all the way through. It was told from Dual POV, the story is told from Reese and Keens. As he struggles with his feelings for Reese.
So we have fighting, they all win the girl and we all celebrate our victory. What could possibly go wrong? This is a action packed magical adventure has got to be 5 stars.

This is a wonderful love story. It's the story of how Theda left her world, after her father is forcing her into a marriage with a man she detests. When she flees into the Human realm she meets Elena's father Alex while hiding in his tool shed. It doesn't take long before they fall in love.
This is a good book to read before Fates Divided. As it give you an insight into Elena's background.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A wonderful start to an unmissable series. Set in the near future where Demons have come up to live on the surface. To accomplish this the world suffered erupting Volcanoes, less land mass etc. The worst side effect was the darkness across the world. We meet Athena properly just before her 21st birthday dreading the ascension ceremony where all women over 21 are usually sent away to serve the Master Demon. In Athena case the Local demon in charge of the village decides to marry Athena himself.
I was hooked I even grew to like both Paymon and Erebus seeing them through her eyes. Athena is very naïve with what might have happened with a different demon or an ordinary man. Especially with her behaviour after her marriages. Great world building, and could quite put myself in the dark and cold.
I loved this book the adventure, the great world building so you were in the dark with Athena aching for some sunlight, so pleased when she found the Rose Bush with its tiny slither of light. As with all first books, it left me wanting more. I’m ready for book two, and I’ll hopefully one of the first to read it when it’s published. I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

Review: Tru Blue

Tru Blue by Melissa Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tru Blue was wonderful uplifting tale of love in its many forms. On the surface Tru has to deal with some very unpleasant and heartbreaking events, but at his core he remains a wonderful man with lots of love to give.
Tru counts his blessings when he meets Gemma, while shopping for baby things late at night. Gemma comes from a completely different background from Tru, she may have had material things, but her parents were very distant.
So Gemma has turned her back on her moneyed background, has moved to Peaceful Harbour and opened a Princess Shop. Which is designed for children’s parties. At first glance you think they would have nothing in common. Both Tru and Gemma have both been let down by their parents in one way or another. Both have so much love to give, and luckily they found each other. I can recommend this story while it has some upsetting scenes, but it’s a joy to read don’t let yourself be put off.

Review: Wear White to your Funeral

Wear White to your Funeral by Lisa Acerbo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At the start we have an unhappy teen having to spend her final year at school staying with her aunt Nora, while her mother is working in Japan. Starting a new school for your final year warrants it’s the end of the world, but moving across country means it is the end as we know it.
So meeting Bowen, and partnering him for a journalism assignment was a saving grace for Rory.
A good book to read at this time of the year, so I was looking for a good Ghost story, which we have to a certain degree. Then we have a murder with some romance.
I enjoyed reading the book, and the angst was perfect. I have to say I was so involved in the story I was cold every time the temperature was mentioned, and I ended up wearing a thick jumper all the time all the time I was reading this story. Overall I would say a good Young adult book. I would let the teens in my house read it. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Review: One More Time is Not Enough

One More Time is Not Enough by Belle Ami
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

REVIEW

ONE MORE TIME IS NOT ENOUGH

One More Time is not Enough is the third book in a series featuring some of the same people, but can be read as a standalone. I have started with this book, and have had no trouble following the action. On that thought there is plenty of action of all kinds. We have the sexual kind, the murder kind, and definitely the FBI kind. We meet David who just joined the FBI, and completed training with ease
As he was a Police Detective before. David was in previous books, and due to cases he was involved he decided to join the FBI. David has a week to get ready before he goes to Washington to be assigned. As I’m looking at this as a standalone I would say there are quite a few sex scenes, we have plenty of suspense with a murderer on the loose. A good partnership between David and Cass his FBI partner. All these things take time to grow. A nice HEA set around a holiday period.
I really enjoyed reading this book, I was kept glued to page as all the pieces of puzzle came together. I would recommend this book to you if you enjoy Romantic suspense with hot sex thrown in. I definitely have to pick up another book by this author.

Book Blitz: KON ( Trassato Crime Family #2 ) - LISA CARDIFF

Kon
Lisa Cardiff
(Trassato Crime Family #2)
Published by: Limitless Publishing
Publication date: November 1st 2016
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Once upon a time, I was the woman you envied. I had it all. A wonderful family. The perfect fiancé who also happened to be my best friend. Money and resources. The power and influence that came with sharing the Trassato name.
One night my fairytale became a nightmare, and I’ve been living in Hell ever since. A rival family killed my fiancé. My father succumbed to cancer. In the middle of it all, I bargained away my future to Konstantin Trincher, a member of the Russian mafia. It seemed like the perfect solution at the time—my brother’s girlfriend in exchange for me.
Only things weren’t that simple. I promised myself to Konstantin and my family promised me to Nico DeAngelo, the underboss of the Trassato Crime Family.
Konstantin and I form an alliance to unravel our bargain. The only problem? We didn’t expect to fall for each other in the process. Now I’m forced to choose between love and loyalty. One choice will break my heart and the other will break my family.

EXCERPT:

She embodied every fantasy I had when I was still a naïve farm boy living the simple life in Nebraska, and not a nasty criminal with a lengthy list of sins.
Exotic amber eyes that reminded me of sunshine. Long dark hair with the right amount of wave. Skin the color of golden honey. Curves that made my hands twitch with the urge to grab a handful. Lips the color of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. And like the forbidden fruit led to Adam and Eve’s ruin, I knew Carmela Trassato would be mine if I let down my guard around her.
“Mr. Trincher.” The measured burn of her stare scraped down my torso and back up again as she dragged her finger through the condensation on her water glass. She wasn’t touching me, yet I felt the swipe of her soft hands all the same. “Sorry I can’t say the same about you. You look like shit. Did you attempt to drown yourself in a fifth of vodka last night or is this a standard look for you?”
Leaning back, I folded my arms across my chest and offered her my trademarked grin. It started at one corner and leisurely spread to the other. “Is that any way to treat the love of your life and your future husband?”
She recoiled and her elbow caught the edge of the table. The cutlery rattled and the water glasses wobbled. She closed her eyes momentarily and hitched a breath. “Is that why you’re here? Did you finally decide to go through with this?”
“Not exactly.”
“What do you mean?” She studied me, and beneath the layers of distrust I saw hope. I saw happiness. I saw excitement. My gut twisted with the need to be the prince charming for once in my godforsaken life. Unfortunately for her, circumstances had already cast me as the villain, and I didn’t think that would change any time in the near future.

Author Bio:
After spending years practicing law and a million other things, Lisa decided to pursue her dream of becoming a writer and she must confess that inventing characters is so much more fun than writing contracts and legal briefs. A native of Colorado, she lives with her husband and three children in Denver.

Review: Soul Finder ( The Immortal Gene Trilogy ) - Jacinta Maree

Soul Finder by Jacinta Maree
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurb
Since being discovered as Soulless, Nadia has become a target for both terrorist groups and government corporations. Now, her only hope for survival rests in the hands of the man sent out to kill her: Diesel, the Mad Dog terrorist.

Diesel is determined to free himself of the never ending curse of reincarnation and the haunting memories that plague his mind. But when his search leads him to Nadia, a greater desire stills him from taking her life.

Unable to see into Diesel's cracking mind, Nadia instead puts her faith into his strength, fueled
Tension pulls at the hems of their dangerous companionship, and as time runs out all madmen must eventually make their choice.


Book two of the thrilling Immortal Gene series dives deeper into the danger of trusting your heart over your head.
by eleven generations of unmatched rage and insanity. Their tight-rope relationship balances the two between life and death, love and rage, trust and betrayal.
   


                                                                 REVIEW

This is an ominous future to look forward to from 2020. Our soul being reincarnated time after time. This leads to madness which can be slowed down by a drug D400. This also allows the Elite to control the masses, because they control the drug.
As madness gripped the populations wars broke out, the world was decimated. After several centuries this is where our tale begins.
Nadia was born into a world where the concept of families have broken down, when the past lives rear their ugly heads. They relive previous lives death throes in their nightmares.
Soulfinder picks up where Soulless finished with Nadia being saved from drowning by the woman from Black markets. All the time Nadia trying to get back to Diesel. As she believes through information taken from the Alpha Prison will help them find a cure.
This book is all action escape after escape. Nadia and Diesel meeting all different communities and different ways of living. All the while searching for answers on how to help stop the reincarnations. In their travels they discover Hiro is frozen in a cryogenic tank. After discovering he is another Soulless, Nadia thought she was the only one.
This book doesn’t stop one thing after other, when they finally have answers Nadia realises something is more important for her and that is love and caring for others. As with all trilogies this ends on a slight cliffhanger that has me pulling my hair out. I read the two books back to back and now I’m bereft not knowing how to clear my head. I finished this on Halloween the future definitely looks bleak to me. I’m now waiting with baited breath to find out when number 3 is out.
I received a copy of this book in exchanged for an honest review.

Readers discretion: Adult language, violence and some adult scenes. For mature audiences only.

Review: Mr. President ( The White House #1 ) - Katy Evans

Mr. President by Katy Evans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans comes a sizzling new contemporary romance.He's won the hearts of millions. But is he willing to lose his?

I met the president’s son when we were both young. Matthew Hamilton was handsome, polished, and intelligent. I’d never met a guy like him.

He promised me that he’d never run for president. I promised that if he did, I’d be by his side.

Three terms later, an invitation to join Matthew Hamilton’s campaign is the most exhilarating opportunity I’ve ever experienced. I'm determined to make a difference; he is determined to win.

Focused on his goal, Matt is steadfast, ruthless, and disarming. All eyes are on him and his popularity is surging. But soon, the next possible president of the United States is possessing me in more ways than one—and despite the risks, I'm helpless to resist.

We're stealing touches, stealing moments, and stealing away at night. But our chemical connection is quickly becoming dangerously combustive, putting not only my heart, but Matt's chance at the presidency on the line.

Winning will take everything. Walking away will be the hardest thing of all.

                                                REVIEW

    

Wow I don’t what to say, a completely different type of story from Katy Evans.
No less enjoyable for it, I can’t get it out of my mind. I loved it so much, but I don’t know what to say. So I’ll start at the beginning.
We first meet Charlotte age 11, waiting to meet President Hamilton when he comes to her home for dinner. Matt was with his father a teenager, but taller than his father. He was gorgeous. His hair the color of sable, although it was combed back, it was unruly at the ends. Charlotte’s first encounter with Matt. The President introduced him to Charlotte with the following comment “My son, Matthew. He’s going to be President one day “he said conspiratorially. When Charlotte’s parents send the President a thank you letter. Charlotte gets out her best stationery and decides to write to Matthew a thank you letter with a parting comment of. “If you ever decide to run for president you have my vote. I’d even be willing to join your campaign.” That was the start of her crush and the start of the story.
Matthew and Charlotte were wonderful together, the chemistry builds up for almost the first half of the book. We really get to know the characters Matthew is a dedicated man who is willing to work hard to effect change for the better. Charlotte works a women’s charity, and really wants to help people.
I loved this book, If only there were a real Matthew with his love and dedication for his country. Alas I had a dilemma if Matt won, it means no Charlotte.
I couldn’t put the book down, as we follow them around the country for nearly a year.
We see them getting closer, but finding nearly impossible to get any time together.
This is the best book I’ve read this year, and I have to wait until next year to found out if he won or not. All I’m going to say Vote Hamilton and get this book to read, you won’t regret it.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

From New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones comes a brand new gripping and provocative novel that ties into her bestselling Careless Whispers and Inside Out series. You can enjoy this as a standalone, but fans of Careless Whispers and Inside Out will get an exciting glimpse of who Ella really is and some of the secrets she's been hiding from everyone she knows.

Desperate to pay for law school, Skye tries her hand at auction hunting with her friend Ella, only to find a poker chip and a note leading to an offsite locker. The next thing she knows, Jason “Red Bull” Wise—a famous, millionaire poker player—is at her door, accusing her of blackmail. Innocent, she swears he’s wrong. He rolls the dice and believes her, impulsively inviting her along to Las Vegas. And remarkably, cautious Skye takes a risk, finding herself seduced by this dangerously alluring man, on his private jet, and finally living life to the fullest. But there is more than passion waiting for Skye and Jason in Vegas when blackmail takes a deadly turn.
