He’s also not interested in crashing his new car. But when a human woman runs out into the road and he must swerve to avoid killing her...everything goes off course.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">Disillusioned by his King’s lack of leadership and the losses in the war against the Lessening Society, Darius finds purpose in protecting a woman he cannot make his own. Love finds a way, however—until the truth of what he is comes out and she leaves him in horror.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">Unbeknownst to them both, Anne is carrying his young, a female who is destined to be Queen—and after a tragic reunion, he vows to protect their daughter. Resigned to perpetual sadness, he is determined to serve the memory of his beloved no matter the cost...unless by some miracle, fate sees fit to once again bring them together.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>MY REVIEW:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Darius was an entrancing, heart-crushing, eye opening story that feels like I've been waiting YEARS to get my hands on!

How he fell in love with a human and ended up keeping her and their daughter a secret for a long time. I cried, I swooned, and I finally feel like I have been completed! I can't begin to tell you how this story made me feel. I was enraptured from the very first time I read about this mysterious brother that had gotten killed, and that was in the very first book! His story was intense, and heart breaking and left my soul feeling crushed and full all at the same time. J.R. Ward outdid herself on this one. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Darius was an unforgettable read that gets an all-around 5 out of 5 SOLID GOLD STARS! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p>Marie's Tempting Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12677522102915042923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050476256682909398.post-69004292579500403252023-09-05T15:15:00.000-04:002023-09-05T15:15:12.209-04:001001 Dark Nights (The Grave Robber) by Darynda Jones Release and ARC Review! <!--wp:heading {"textAlign":"center","level":5}-->

Done with hellhounds. And definitely done with asshole demons, mostly because he’d been possessed by one. Even now, five years later, the rage he absorbed from the creature has yet to wane, so he decides a road trip is in order. Surely some cool air, great scenery, and a case of Dos Equis will shake things loose. Unfortunately, supernatural events happen everywhere. When he meets up with a friend whose partner’s daughter needs help with a pest problem—aka, a ghost—Eric takes that as his cue to leave.</p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><strong>Until he sees her.</strong></p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">He can tell Halle’s house isn’t the only thing that is haunted. The hopelessness behind her eyes tugs at something deep inside him. Something all too familiar. The fact that she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen has nothing to do with his change of heart. And he vows to leave her in his rearview the minute he takes care of the poltergeist. Then again, vows were never his strong suit.</p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.*</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>MY REVIEW:</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"> Back in the Charley Davidson world again and it was A HELL OF A LOT OF FUN! </p><p style="text-align: center;">Finally getting Eric's story here and it was everything and more I was hoping for! Witty, sexy, hilarious and Darynda's famous fun flair, this novella was a definite treat!</p><p style="text-align: center;">I started this and finished it within a day and I wanted to cry once it ended. The book was fun, feisty, sexy and wonderfully, hilariously witty. I wanted it to go on forever and then maybe, a little bit more. This was weirdly, and quite possibly, insanely good and I loved every flip of the page and every word that was written. Gimme more please!</p><p style="text-align: center;">The Grave Robber gets a SCORCHING FIVE OUT OF FIVE ENTICING STARS! Talk about mouthwatering good! </p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-3585" height="400" src="https://thezimbabweanbookaddict.files.wordpress.com/2023/08/the-grave-robber-out-now.jpeg?w=1024" width="400" /></figure><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><strong>Grab your copy today, exclusively on Amazon!</strong></p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Amazon: https://amzn.to/41F0zTG</p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Amazon Worldwide: https://mybook.to/thegraverobber</p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Amazon Paperback: https://amzn.to/41JqUjw</p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Add to Goodreads: https://bit.ly/3L8qonR</p><figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-3583" height="400" src="https://thezimbabweanbookaddict.files.wordpress.com/2023/08/the-grave-robber-teaser-1-1.jpeg?w=1024" width="400" /></figure><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><strong>Keep reading for a look inside The Grave Robber!</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;">“What do the notes say?”</p><p style="text-align: center;">She pulled her lower lip between her teeth, stalling. She stalled some more when she said, “I can’t always read them.”</p><p style="text-align: center;">“Halle,” I warned.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Her shoulders deflated as she released a surrendering sigh. “At first, they were just numbers. They started right after my mom died. The number twelve kept popping up. But a month later, it changed to an eleven. Then a ten. Then a nine.”</p><p style="text-align: center;">“A countdown.”</p><p style="text-align: center;">“Yes. Every month for the last year, he’s been counting down. And now we’re at number two.” She leveled an accusing gaze on me. “And you’ve known since the first time you laid eyes on me.”</p><p style="text-align: center;">“Not the first time,” I said, slightly offended. “What makes you think they’re death threats? They could mean anything.”</p><p style="text-align: center;">“Because the other note he leaves is pretty explicit. It’s just one word. Payback.”</p><p style="text-align: center;">Ah. Now we were getting somewhere. “Halle, what happened seventeen years ago? What changed your life so dramatically? And who wants payback?”</p><p style="text-align: center;">She shook her head and looked away, tears shimmering in her eyes.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I leaned onto my elbows and put a hand over hers. “Halle, I know this is hard, but please trust me.”</p><p style="text-align: center;">“It’s not that. It’s not that I don’t trust you. You’ve earned that and then some. But if I tell you what happened, what I did, you won’t want to have sex with me anymore.”</p><p style="text-align: center;">I almost snorted. Clearly, she didn’t understand the male thought process.</p><p style="text-align: center;">But I needed to chill. I was pushing her too hard. I wanted her to bend. Not break.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The furball started whimpering at her feet. Halle picked her up, nuzzled her, then set her in the box she’d brought along with a dry towel from the bathroom. With a full belly, the furball settled immediately and went to sleep.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Halle straightened and walked over to stand in front of me. “Is that a yes?”</p><p style="text-align: center;">“No,” I said, taking in every curve she had to offer. She smelled sweet, like jasmine. “It’s a hell yes.” I put a hand on her hip, the heat from her body soaking into my skin as she straddled me.</p><p style="text-align: center;">With hesitant fingers, she tested the abrasion on my jaw. “Are you sure this is okay? You were hit by a truck yesterday.”</p><p style="text-align: center;">“I was sideswiped by a truck. Huge difference.”</p><p style="text-align: center;">She nodded and grew thoughtful as though making calculations in her head. Now was not the time for math.</p><p style="text-align: center;">“I’m pretty sure you’re a supernatural being,” she said, completely serious. “That you’re not real and will disappear as soon as all of this is over.”</p><p style="text-align: center;">“I have several friends who are supernaturally inclined. I am not one of them. And I’m not going anywhere.”</p><p style="text-align: center;">She buried her fingers in my hair and covered my mouth with hers. I’d never welcomed a kiss more in my life.</p><figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-3579" height="400" src="https://thezimbabweanbookaddict.files.wordpress.com/2023/08/the-grave-robber-teaser-2.jpeg?w=1024" width="400" /></figure><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">For More Information about Darynda Jones, visit her website:</p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">https://darynda.com/</p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">For More Information about 1001 Dark Nights, visit:</p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Website: https://www.1001darknights.com/</p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Facebook: https://bit.ly/3ONzTtZ</p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Instagram: https://bit.ly/3rTZdo3</p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">TikTok: https://bit.ly/3G98oYh</p></blockquote>

Law enforcement is on alert from the first sighting of the cold-blooded trio. To take down this brutal gang, only those willing to risk everything they hold dear stand a chance . . . First, a pair of Denver police officers facing each other for the first time after one night of abandon find themselves working together to stop an ambitious bank heist. In Wyoming, a string of robberies marks the gang's arrival, and the local sheriff springs into action when the criminals discover his estranged fiancée can identify them. Finally, in the mountains of Colorado, the gang takes shelter on a peaceful guest ranch, where a fiercely protective rancher is hellbent on roping the fugitives up for good. Trusting their sharply honed instincts, three rugged men will fight to stop the rampage before the women they'd die for become the next victims . . .</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MY REVIEW FOR REBECCA ZANETTI’S STORY RESCUE: HERO STYLE:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Peril is a fantastically exciting romantic suspense anthology featuring some of the best romantic suspense authors out there. And one of my most favorite ones, Rebecca Zanetti has one in this anthology I just had immediately jumped into as soon as this awesome story popped on my kindle! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Rescue: Hero Style is the next Wyoming Cowboy novella in Rebecca Zanetti’s highly anticipated new series that really had my heart galloping in happiness as I devoured a glass of wine while reading. It features Ella and Caden and let’s just say, the sparks just just sputter, they fly and sizzle and pop like a some of the best fireworks on the Fourth of July! It was spectacular, fun and so sexy, I could hardly contain my giddiness! I am loving these cowboys and the small Wyoming town and all the sexy and deliciously alpha men that seem to just make the heart race. Caden’s protectiveness and his desire for Ella as he wins her back is charming, sweet, and irresistible. Ella’s stubbornness and personality just meshes beautifully with his personality and I downright adored the sparks that flew left and right whenever they were within range of each other. The story was fast paced, action packed and sexy as hell! A total 5 STAR worthy romance! Definitely worth every penny this awesome anthology costs! </div>Marie's Tempting Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12677522102915042923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050476256682909398.post-60160018451228514282023-04-11T10:00:00.002-04:002023-04-11T10:00:00.224-04:00ARC Review - Lassiter (The Black Dagger Brotherhood #21) by J.R.

In his new role overseeing the fates of all vampires, he’s influenced outcomes he shouldn’t have- so the Creator is calling him home. But the angel has a reason to stay in Caldwell. He’s bonded with a mysterious female who’s seemed to appear from out of nowhere… and has powers that defy all reason.</span></div><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(30, 25, 21); color: #1e1915; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(30, 25, 21); color: #1e1915; text-align: start;">Rahvyn is well aware that she doesn’t belong in the present. And she never intended to stay, for her true place is in the past.

I, just like MANY others,have been waiting for Lassiter’s book since he first was introduced in the series. This angel is sexy, fun, selfless and has a way about him that honestly captured my heart right from the very beginning. His addiction to the Golden Girls is too charming and his fascination with 80’s and 90’s makes things hella interesting. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #1e1915;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #1e1915;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">I was so consumed and enraptured with Lassiter and Rahvyn.

It’s an all out, incredible and fabulous installment and one of the most unforgettable stories so far this year! Rahvyn is perfection. She is an incredible heroine with a power that awed even me! I adored her and thought she was wonderful for Lassiter. He is exactly what she needs and vice versa.

And what had happened to her there…well, she still has nightmares. But she’s healed now, right?</div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #1e1915;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: center;">When she gets up her courage to visit the club, the owner hands her over to Master Saxon.</div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #1e1915;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: center;">Master Saxon is handsome, powerful, and dominant. The veterinarian has a gorgeous smile, a trust-me voice, and does Search and Rescue with his canine helper, Sherlock. In the Shadowlands, he’s known as the Viking god. For years, he’s avoided serious relationships. A quiet, little author can’t possibly slip past his defenses.

I felt like I was submerged in safety, happiness, and warmth. Reminded me so much of being in a perfectly warm bath. I felt cherished and relaxed. The feeling NEVER gets old and I only ever feel that with one of these Masters Of The Shadowlands stories! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This book felt so different, but in a really good way. It was so sweet and heartfelt and sexy. I learned something new too and that in itself is a treat! Master Saxon is a sexy, caring and sweet Dom. I loved his personality and the way he made my heart sing. And our heroine is a real sweetheart too. She, like all our other shadow-kittens put everyone else before herself. She is caring and reminded me a bit of myself with the way she was kind of an introvert. And the connection and play and relationship between Saxon and Murphy was unique and very sweet. I really enjoyed these two and liked their story VERY much. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I give this book a SWEET AND MOUTHWATERING FOUR AND A HALF STARS!

Mayumi is a fierce warrior and knows just what she wants and takes no crap from anyone. And Faunus is nothing like any hero I have ever read either. Even as a Dustwalker, he is completely unique and sexy, sweet, protective with such a beautiful and endearing personality that I couldn't stop myself from falling head over heels for him. The way he was with Mayumi was so darn incredible and heart melting and sexy as all hell! </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;">This story had so much to offer. Heartache, laughs, sweetness, giggles, surprisingly fun moments, hot sex, and a story that gripped my heart from start to finish! I loved this book even more than I imagined and I am having a hell of a time putting it into words. I seriously want to write some serious poetry about this book, but my mind is officially blown, so the only thing I will say is if you haven't pre-ordered this book yet, I HIGHLY recommend you go to Amazon and one-click this book. Like NOW! Best book yet in the series hands down! </span></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div></span><p></p>Marie's Tempting Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12677522102915042923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050476256682909398.post-40376759203830378172023-01-23T13:07:00.000-05:002023-01-23T13:07:12.949-05:00ARC Review - To Tempt A Witch To Sin: A Novel of Love and Magic by Nadine Mutas!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBvh25GLyD8qG0wdGdrWASY5QSDK8GTCk3-N2TMDckCGRdDfWPEwykia52tL4nJGU3Xma5a5I6wF-XoQj9RMDFZJ7zWTRbBadMbuR1qoAHZrynHDB8u1SSELkmMJ9CDKe2WTXqpUX9YFl4hF74JgbmC2RcbA8gVwne8-Uqg_ZPCGFvn1JHRez8VCEMYw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="1661" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBvh25GLyD8qG0wdGdrWASY5QSDK8GTCk3-N2TMDckCGRdDfWPEwykia52tL4nJGU3Xma5a5I6wF-XoQj9RMDFZJ7zWTRbBadMbuR1qoAHZrynHDB8u1SSELkmMJ9CDKe2WTXqpUX9YFl4hF74JgbmC2RcbA8gVwne8-Uqg_ZPCGFvn1JHRez8VCEMYw=w260-h400" width="260" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>BLURB:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; text-align: start;">Warning: Includes a charming hot mess of a demon hero, delightfully snarky banter, lots of F-bombs, spicy AF steamy scenes, and a well-behaved witch who learns to cut loose.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; text-align: start;">One night.

Tallak’s goals in life are simple—after more than 20 years in a fae dungeon, he just wants to relish his freedom and build a healthy relationship with Basil, the son he’d presumed dead. Having the hots for the witch who raised Basil? Bad idea. Opposite of simple.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; text-align: start;">As Elder witch and head of her family, Hazel has enough on her plate trying to keep the witch community from splintering after the end of the war. Lusting after the biological father of her adopted son is the last thing she needs. Especially since that father is a recent prison escapee demon with a questionable moral compass. A responsible witch and mother would steer clear. But Hazel has been so good for so long…maybe it’s time to be just a little bit bad.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; text-align: start;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; text-align: start;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; text-align: start;"><b>MY REVIEW:</b></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; text-align: start;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: verdana;">OH,</span></span><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"> HOLY HOTNESS ON A CRACKER, TO TEMPT A WITCH TO SIN IS ONE OF THE BEST, EXHILRATING, MOST AMAZING BOOK OF 2023 SO FAR! </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;">I have waited so long for another Nadine Mutas story, and when the newest novel of Love and Magic was in the works, I got so excited I could hardly contain it!

Now they only meet up four times a year to exchange blood and keep themselves healthy because that was the deal. Yet after a hundred years, his mate has only become more beguiling and intriguing, and when he discovers a new threat on her tail, his promise of sitting back and leaving her alone goes right out of the window.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ivy O’Dwyer has enjoyed the last century as an immortal being, evolving from being a farmer’s daughter to the successful CEO of an Internet company.

So when he storms in to save her life, in all vampire-possessive mode, it’s difficult to stand her ground.

She believes strongly in luck, karma, and working her butt off…and she thinks one of the best things about being an author, unlike the lawyer she used to be, is that she can let the crazy out. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Connect with Rebecca</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Facebook: https://bit.ly/2ZdxNeO </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Instagram: https://bit.ly/2BUBA8a </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Goodreads: https://bit.ly/3eejUl8 </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bookbub: https://bit.ly/3gHE4W1 </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Website: https://bit.ly/3gVd6uv </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">For More information about 1001 Dark Nights Visit</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Facebook: https://bit.ly/37fl0uT </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Instagram: https://bit.ly/2Y7uBQp </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Website: https://bit.ly/2AIIr3A</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Stay up to date on all 1001 Dark Nights releases, join their mailing list today! https://bit.ly/2zgxaHu </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> <span style="background-color: white;">#bookish #paranormalromance #1001darknights #bookblogger #vampireromance #bookishnews #blogger #bookblogger #romancereads #spicybooks @socialbutterfly_pr </span></span></p>Marie's Tempting Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12677522102915042923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050476256682909398.post-73476973388286289652022-12-01T18:23:00.000-05:002022-12-01T18:23:08.761-05:00NetGalley e-ARC Review - A Hard Day for A Hangover (Sunshine Vicram #3) by Darynda Jones! <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEinucICS74PfyYCVMxyVtqVPMMrK8JfTFpENUeh-GLPKL9RFf7QF_snnMh3P4B8pIMVuIf-h5GmsFwlrV1Gnpb-qiznlPKC9o2_LSEEpIMfgiion6Vvzs_ifL3wrLh8SL1RCeGiE-F16n6tkUUf8W4jwYFpBQnyz1ICsRCneMSwunJA4DFwJmNUNnVjKQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEinucICS74PfyYCVMxyVtqVPMMrK8JfTFpENUeh-GLPKL9RFf7QF_snnMh3P4B8pIMVuIf-h5GmsFwlrV1Gnpb-qiznlPKC9o2_LSEEpIMfgiion6Vvzs_ifL3wrLh8SL1RCeGiE-F16n6tkUUf8W4jwYFpBQnyz1ICsRCneMSwunJA4DFwJmNUNnVjKQ=s16000" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>BLURB:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">Some people greet the day with open arms. Sheriff Sunshine Vicram would rather give it a hearty shove and get back into bed, because there’s just too much going on right now. There’s a series of women going missing, and Sunny feels powerless to stop it. There’s her persistent and awesomely-rebellious daughter Auri, who’s out to singlehandedly become Del Sol’s youngest and fiercest investigator. And then there’s drama with Levi Ravinder—the guy she’s loved and lusted after for years. The guy who might just be her one and only. The guy who comes from a family of disingenuous vipers looking to oust him—and Sunshine—for good.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">Like we said, the new day can take a hike.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;"><b>MY REVIEW:</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A Hard Day For A Hangover is everything amazing and fun and loaded with surprises from start to finish!

I was instantly captivated with this final installment of the Sunshine Vicram series. I enjoyed the way Sunshine can solve multiple cases and find happiness in between those cases as well as help the people in her small town at the same time. She is loving, sweet, hilarious and never gives up. And Levi is the kind of hero that can make the female reader swoon and drool at the same time! I couldn't get enough of this book and can't wait to read the whole series again! This was a breath of fresh air that I desperately needed and enjoyed thoroughly! This book deserves the full FIVE STAR treatment! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p>Marie's Tempting Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12677522102915042923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050476256682909398.post-1181188589991181222022-11-21T17:07:00.006-05:002022-11-21T17:07:56.075-05:00NetGalley e-ARC Review - You Can Hide by Rebecca Zanetti!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQFFxzsW6v73xBjajCr_PZCLdjp9eXTtQXKO13sjb5vW17DacP00IspdfcPU4tliFbXxOqE3sebT520vMTBC4HtNfHpd4uWtvz8e_UlTupdbJGLAeR-NkLV-3Pz2hKZSxXfN8uy83YeHa9zF1NuwC3JV71kJS_zne0Oy0VvNRMmYqWlqNYnCrAwXM8-w" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2063" data-original-width="1400" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQFFxzsW6v73xBjajCr_PZCLdjp9eXTtQXKO13sjb5vW17DacP00IspdfcPU4tliFbXxOqE3sebT520vMTBC4HtNfHpd4uWtvz8e_UlTupdbJGLAeR-NkLV-3Pz2hKZSxXfN8uy83YeHa9zF1NuwC3JV71kJS_zne0Oy0VvNRMmYqWlqNYnCrAwXM8-w=w272-h400" width="272" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>BLURB:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">Set against the atmospheric backdrop of rural Pacific Northwest, New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti’s thrilling suspense series follows FBI Special Agent Laurel Snow as she strives to navigate her complicated family life when her newly discovered sociopathic half-sister becomes the target of a dangerous killer.

Not only does Laurel suspect Abigail is behind the mysterious disappearance of their father, but her erratic behavior also makes life in Laurel’s small hometown interesting, to say the least. Still, when Abigail claims someone is now out to kill her, Laurel’s instinct to protect her sister goes into overdrive. Then things get even more dicey as dead bodies start turning up in the icy waters of the Sauk River and there’s only one connection among them: Abigail . . .</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">Having Fish and Wildlife Captain Huck Rivers bringing in those bodies with his dive team only complicates matters. Huck is as impulsive and fiery as Laurel is coolly analytical, which makes their alliance risky at best. But standing up to such a demonically brilliant killer is going to take all the help Laurel can get.

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book two in her Flesh and Fire series…</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The only one who can save Sera now is the one she spent her life planning to kill.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The truth about Sera’s plan is out, shattering the fragile trust forged between her and Nyktos. Surrounded by those distrustful of her, all Sera has is her duty. She will do anything to end Kolis, the false King of Gods, and his tyrannical rule of Iliseeum, thus stopping the threat he poses to the mortal realm.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Nyktos has a plan, though, and as they work together, the last thing they need is the undeniable, scorching passion that continues to ignite between them. Sera cannot afford to fall for the tortured Primal, not when a life no longer bound to a destiny she never wanted is more attainable than ever. But memories of their shared pleasure and unrivaled desire are a siren’s call impossible to resist.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">And as Sera begins to realize that she wants to be more than a Consort in name only, the danger surrounding them intensifies. The attacks on the Shadowlands are increasing, and when Kolis summons them to Court, a whole new risk becomes apparent. The Primal power of Life is growing inside her, pushing her closer to the end of her Culling. And without Nyktos’s love—an emotion he’s incapable of feeling—she won’t survive her Ascension. That is if she even makes it to her Ascension and Kolis doesn’t get to her first. Because time is running out. For both her and the realms.</p>

<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><strong>Chapter One</strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">“You are the heir to the lands and seas, skies and realms. A Queen instead of a King. You are the Primal of Life,” Nyktos—the Asher, the One who is Blessed, the Guardian of Souls and the Primal God of Common Men and Endings—rasped. Those lips of his that had whispered heated words against my skin and had also spoken cold, brutal truths were now parted. Wide, silver eyes churning with streams of luminous eather—the essence of the gods—fixed on mine. A sort of awe and wonder softened the cold lines of his high, broad cheekbones, his blade-straight nose, and cut jaw.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Wavy, reddish-brown hair fell against golden-bronze cheeks as he lowered himself to one knee, placing his left hand flat on the throne room floor and his right palm over his chest.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Nyktos was bowing to me.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">I recoiled from him. “What are you doing?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">“The Primal of Life is the most powerful being in all the realms, usurping all other Primals and gods,” Sir Holland said. Except he was no longer the man I once knew as a knight of the Royal Guard of Lasania, or a mere mortal. He was one of the Arae—an actual, godsforsaken Fate, neither god nor mortal. Able to see the past, present, and future of all, the Arae weren’t beholden to any Primal Court.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Fates were as terrifying as any Primal, and I couldn’t even begin to count how many times I’d kicked him.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">“He is showing you the respect you are owed, Sera,” Holland added as I continued staring at Nyktos.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">“But I’m not the Primal of Life.” I stated the obvious.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">“You carry the only true embers of life inside you,” Nyktos said, and that deep, softly spoken voice sent a myriad of shivers over my skin. “For all intents and purposes, you are the Primal of Life.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">“He speaks the truth.” The goddess Penellaphe drew closer, coming to stand beneath the open ceiling. The star-strewn sky cast a soft glow over her warm, light brown skin. “Denying it isn’t a luxury which can be afforded.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">“But I’m just a mortal—” My lungs felt as if they’d been filled with tiny holes, and Nyktos was still bowing to me. “Can you please stand or sit? Anything other than kneel? It’s really weirding me out.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Nyktos’s head tilted, sending several strands of hair against his cheek. “You are the true Primal of Life, just as my father was. As Holland said, it’s a show of respect.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">“But I don’t des—” I cut myself off, my heart thumping and chest squeezing. The eather in his eyes stilled. “Can you just not do that? Please.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The Primal rose quickly, the wisps of essence in his eyes brightening so vividly they were almost painful to look upon. He towered over me, his stare seeming to peel away the layers of my very being, seeing…sensing what I felt.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">I stiffened, my skin becoming hot and prickly. “You’d better not be reading my emotions.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Nyktos arched a dark brow. “Your accusatory tone is unnecessary.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">“And your response wasn’t a declaration of innocence,” I retorted. Penellaphe’s eyes flared wide.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">“No.” His voice had dropped, but it still somehow thundered through me. “It was not.” “Then don’t do it,” I snapped. “It’s rude.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Nyktos’s mouth opened, likely to point out that I was the last person who should speak on rude behavior.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">“You have never been just a mortal, Seraphena.” Holland stepped in smoothly, just as he’d done dozens of times in the past whenever I’d descended into a rant spiral. “You are the possibility of a future for all.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">He’d said a version of that before during training, but it took on a whole different meaning now. “But I haven’t completed any Culling, and you just said that I would…” Closing my eyes, I didn’t finish the sentence.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Everyone here knew what had been said.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Breathe in. My mortal body and mind wouldn’t be able to handle the power of the embers once I began the Ascension. The only chance I had of surviving wasn’t even a hope. Hold. Because it required the blood of the Primal that one of the embers of life belonged to—that and sheer will powered by love.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The love of the Primal I’d spent the entirety of my life planning to kill. It didn’t matter that I’d believed it was the only way to save my kingdom.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The irony of it all made me want to laugh, except I was going to die. Likely in less than five months and before I turned twenty-one, taking the last true embers of life with me. The mortal realm would be hit first and the hardest. Eventually, the Rot would spread beyond the Shadowlands to all of Iliseeum.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">I exhaled long and slow, just like Holland had taught me many years ago, when everything became too heavy, too much, and the weight of it all choked the air from me. My impending death wasn’t something new. I’d always known. Whether I failed or succeeded when it came to fulfilling my destiny, I knew I would die in the process.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">But it felt different now.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">I’d finally had a taste of being something other than a means to an end, a weapon to be used and then discarded. I’d had a taste of realness. I’d finally felt like a fully formed person, not a specter soaked in blood. Not a liar and a monster who could kill without all that much remorse.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">But that was who I was underneath it all, and Nyktos now knew that, too. There was no more hiding that truth—or any truths.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">My lungs started to burn as tiny bursts of light danced across my vision. The breathing exercises weren’t working. A tremor hit my hands, and panic unfurled in my chest. There was no air—</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Fingertips touched my cheek. Warm fingertips. My eyes flew open, locking on features so finely pieced together I should’ve known the first time I saw him that he was more than a god. His touch startled me, not only because it was warm instead of shockingly cold as it had been before he took my blood into him, but because I still wasn’t used to touching. I wasn’t sure I ever would be when it had always been so rare that anyone allowed their skin to contact mine.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">But he touched me. After everything, Nyktos touched me.</p>

<h5 class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The only one who can save Sera now is the one she spent her life planning to kill.</h5>
<!--/wp:heading-->
<!--wp:heading {"textAlign":"center","level":4,"align":"center"}-->
<h4 class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">A Light in the Flame, the much-anticipated second installment of the captivating Flesh and Fire series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout, is now available!</h4>
<!--/wp:heading-->
<!--wp:image {"align":"center","id":2323,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"}-->
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-2323" height="400" src="https://thebooktressofsolitude.files.wordpress.com/2022/11/alightintheflame-ebook.jpg?w=683" width="267" /></figure>
<!--/wp:image-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The truth about Sera’s plan is out, shattering the fragile trust forged between her and Nyktos. Surrounded by those distrustful of her, all Sera has is her duty. She will do anything to end Kolis, the false King of Gods, and his tyrannical rule of Iliseeum, thus stopping the threat he poses to the mortal realm.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Nyktos has a plan, though, and as they work together, the last thing they need is the undeniable, scorching passion that continues to ignite between them. Sera cannot afford to fall for the tortured Primal, not when a life no longer bound to a destiny she never wanted is more attainable than ever. But memories of their shared pleasure and unrivaled desire are a siren’s call impossible to resist.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">And as Sera begins to realize that she wants to be more than a Consort in name only, the danger surrounding them intensifies. The attacks on the Shadowlands are increasing, and when Kolis summons them to Court, a whole new risk becomes apparent. The Primal power of Life is growing inside her, pushing her closer to the end of her Culling. And without Nyktos’s love—an emotion he’s incapable of feeling—she won’t survive her Ascension. That is if she even makes it to her Ascension and Kolis doesn’t get to her first. Because time is running out. For both her and the realms.</p>

For the past three weeks, a mysterious illness has wreaked havoc in my life, and the doctors can’t figure it out.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">When a handsome stranger shows up at my farm the day of the fundraiser for my medical bills, I assume he’s here to give a donation. I don’t know why, but I feel connected to the brooding man with pale eyes, dark hair, and full lips shaped in a constant frown. Being around Ellister makes me forget I’m sick. He looks at me like I’m beautiful, he reminds me what it’s like to want someone so much it hurts, and I find myself wishing I could keep living just so I can continue getting to know him.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">But the more I learn about him, the more I start to believe his intentions aren’t pure.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Maybe he didn’t come to save me.

I fell in so much love with this first book in Jamie Schlosser's Moonlight Duet and I can't wait to read the conclusion!</span></span></div><span id="freeTextreview5024506427" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><span style="color: #181818;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ellister and Hannah are two incredibly unforgettable characters. The whole reason Ellister is at the farm is anything but innocent but that moment...the VERY moment he meets Hannah, things go askew for him and soon, his feelings for her and his feelings of guilt clash with each other and make things wonderfully, irresistibly more complicated which made this story even more charming and irresistible. I found it nearly impossible to turn away from this book once I started it. I wanted to read continuously and never stop! I never imagined this book was going to go where it went but I am so glad it did. There is so many surprises and twists to this story that sure left me slack jawed. This book was fun, sexy, heartfelt and witty. And its not even over yet! The ending keeps you hanging on the edge and NEEDING to know what happens next. I can't wait for everyone to read this!</span></div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="color: #181818;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span id="freeTextreview5024506427">Monster In The Moonlight gets a TWISTED AND MOUTH WATERING FIVE SHINNING STARS!</span> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="84" data-original-width="224" height="84" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin9yiOxoVcQNWB4eAyQVYAc4qm35lGSYh9zeM8zzk_-mWP_AXbr4Pto9aL2ryNZnkCYQIY7TDkV8tzjp58yjcnzumyhjy_Yxz_G-9xKGZ1wow956ia4u8rOV0AIFfWm1BwfpRLUNwj3R4/s0/blog_in+the+series_preorder+%25281%2529.jpg" width="224" /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMPPgPcjBIFsMrJ6WpOny3Js0kE2mBBVuB6grKKCxmhxHDLQVaDrsjTX9ZvJtjrPTVBjr17_UW-L9b-Frfv0DjXWZsjbyPpYV2mBPkAlZcBFO4y6JDtXkDmo64O9QsYQQa04GQ4eGfBvmN8_Gq50mG2S1R6h3F9oHsBTt8Kmg3bV0nF1K-9CpS1ctH/s2475/final%20BOOK%202%20EBOOK.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2475" data-original-width="1485" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMPPgPcjBIFsMrJ6WpOny3Js0kE2mBBVuB6grKKCxmhxHDLQVaDrsjTX9ZvJtjrPTVBjr17_UW-L9b-Frfv0DjXWZsjbyPpYV2mBPkAlZcBFO4y6JDtXkDmo64O9QsYQQa04GQ4eGfBvmN8_Gq50mG2S1R6h3F9oHsBTt8Kmg3bV0nF1K-9CpS1ctH/w240-h400/final%20BOOK%202%20EBOOK.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://mybook.to/mitm2" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZGE6Ks3pXnrq0nDIjzc2qR7KWXbVf67tzxox24T_1XYHbQe1WHBi-8VSqEQkKfH1kxJ39CkRCxJzumfwxkThoL3QxwkyNQualVSykqVUm9Ku5nVnjb4ifADaYYV7EHZtYYnkWOMg5Jt3w/s1600/AMAZON.png" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BHL53MRP" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDWjE5owWwokzTqRxmczLmxcGjdTHv2BkkCzXX7nKbx1XS22zOT6QtSf2q4hjIzHWBQQb2a3ibFOAWIklMJfvSLisWU7cYdK_zM1nSh9RJO1Lq2Ek2spxQG3W4jhyr-OZTCvWXmNunxdvs/s1600/amazon+ca.png" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BHL53MRP" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ8YlWjj37I-_tmIueEy5QxlzXgdKlWVGMfjPN6oy0MYFYf09QPoSZCn9SnHlq4Qp6da_mIC8zfOSfK5VBLoAiLbMC7L7kQ1C6WK-V3fZERem86S0eOCkSsh_o9PuMxBJD56FytzKtsAax/s1600/amazon+uk.png" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BHL53MRP" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnQ_4cyPa0h1mAiIvwNxr_WhgI8weWx1QlKmLNJwX8kcTQULVDVm-YFhsl5d9XS1pfQuRZhyMsFFtvhrxm1EWoR3Ce-2ht4SzLY2YN4toHV3ylUU4xu8U0lZqj_NcYqpvWb0ZSRvk_rV3H/s1600/amazon+au.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><img border="0" data-original-height="84" data-original-width="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHRzlyFGkF3oTHNDjriEqUuffg_Uph-pbi_JbAgX4HhskTkQJMfZA1VvckquBzdkWMQOmpLLUKqqSt0YKkn2PjBNvCTvyzDmRjX8r3tYyQs6b8GfRGcRUtU-LOZ856MhrtNoOQ90RjyLNw/s1600/blog_meet+the+author.jpg" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div><span style="font-family: Lora; font-size: medium;">Jamie Schlosser writes steamy new adult romance and romantic comedy.

Fate declared him heir to the throne, Fortune marked him with the power of the mysterious circle of Seven, and Chance promised more surprises to come. Nothing deterred him from his path. Until the nightmares began--agonizing dreams of having a female, the female, his mate, on the back of his motorcycle—only to have her torn away from his protection.

She has been given some direction, but not nearly enough to truly understand her duty, what she was born to do. Even as a child, she had a sense of him. The him, her mate.

One heart pounding, action packed moment after another, mixed with the most sensual and sexy moments in between that left me breathless again and again in just about EVERY chapter. This book was perfection. Garrett and Destiny were certainly two of my favorite couple as of right now. I can't believe how surprising and fulfilling this book was.

And now that he’s realized just how entwined we are by destiny, he’s determined to travel to the past and rewrite history. He’ll cross impossible barriers and break every moral code, just so we can be together.<br /><br />But the fight for my life isn’t over. Because history has a way of repeating itself, no matter how far you go back in time.<br /><br /><i>Please note: Magic in the Moonlight is not a standalone novel.

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">When Donovan St. James’ precocious charge asks him—no questions asked—to tail the doctor who keeps their ragtag team patched up, he wants to refuse. Not because the saucy teen is getting too big for her britches, ordering him around like a mob boss, but because the woman stirs feelings in him he would rather not explore. However, when evil threatens the doc’s life, he realizes he has no choice. Sia saved his life once. He will try to return the favor. He just prays he can do it without losing his heart.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Running from the supernatural entity that has destroyed entire worlds to have her, Sia thought she’d found a haven on Earth with a motley team of warriors protecting the girl destined to save humanity. But when Sia’s found, she realizes something on this plane is more scrumptious than her: that very teen. So, she runs—and Donovan St. James follows. Nothing is more alluring than a scruffy biker with a lacerating gaze. And she vows to tell him that…if they survive.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**</p>

He’s also not interested in crashing his new car. But when a human woman runs out into the road and he must swerve to avoid killing her...everything goes off course. Disillusioned by his King’s lack of leadership and the losses in the war against the Lessening Society, Darius finds purpose in protecting a woman he cannot make his own. Love finds a way, however—until the truth of what he is comes out and she leaves him in horror. Unbeknownst to them both, Anne is carrying his young, a female who is destined to be Queen—and after a tragic reunion, he vows to protect their daughter. Resigned to perpetual sadness, he is determined to serve the memory of his beloved no matter the cost...unless by some miracle, fate sees fit to once again bring them together.</span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="yiv0654889701MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="yiv0654889701MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>MY REVIEW:</b></span></p><p class="yiv0654889701MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #1d2228;">Darius is an audio treat for the ears! I have loved and adored and hell, worshipped every Black Dagger Brotherhood series from the very beginning and I have always been curious about Darius. And when I got the opportunity to listen and review a copy of the audio, I didn't give it a second chance! I just snatched that sucker up and dove right in. It is sensational and sexy and so heartbreaking as it was beautiful. This novella was the perfect thing to listen to and when it ended I wanted to listen to it all over again. </span></span></p><p class="yiv0654889701MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #1d2228;">Readers will DEVOUR and LOVE this edition. I personally didn't want it to end. It gave us not just a glimpse into Darius's life and death, but gave us a chance to witness what kind of male he was and I fell in absolute love and lust with him. I don't listen to a lot of audiobooks, but this one was by far, one of the BEST audiobooks I have listened to! Give me MANY MORE PLEASE!</span></span></p><p class="yiv0654889701MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #1d2228;">Darius gets a HEARTBREAKING AND HEART MELTING FIVE SWOON WORTHY STARS!

Wanting The Monster is a sexy, fun, sizzling hot romance that was sweet and amusing and exhilarating. I couldn't believe how good this friends to lovers trope was. I'm not a huge fan of the trope like I used to be, but when you get sexy monsters involved, it can really make an exceptional difference. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #181818;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #181818;">Relion is a GORGEOUS tentacled hero who is friends with a human woman, Tera who thinks she wants to marry a human man. However, Relion is more than determined to prove to her that he is HER man. I honestly loved the sweet and fun banter between these two. You could sense the affection and love right away and as their relationship progressed, things went from a slow burn to an inferno in no time and made things even more delectable. Tera is a real sweetheart in my opinion. I really loved her personality and the way she moved through life. She really fit Relion and vice versa and I couldn't love these two more! This book made me love the friends to lovers trope again and I honestly can't thank Rena Marks enough for that. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #181818;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #181818;">Wanting The Monster gets a DELICOUSLY ENTERTAINING FIVE SCORCHING HOT STARS!

After all, Pierce Jennings is gorgeous, muscled, and he has a laugh that makes her toes curl. But she is not going down that particular path of temptation with the former Army Ranger and current Wilde agent. Nope. Not happening. They’ll stay in the friend zone because it’s safer that way. Safer for her—and for him. Even if looking into his baby blues makes her heart race.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">She’s sunshine, secrets, and a bit of sin…</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Pierce’s new neighbor wears paint-splattered jeans, she smells like sin, and he wants to put his hands all over her gorgeous body. Too bad she’s friend-zoned him. Too bad she’s starring in most of his fantasies. Too bad he can’t get her out of his head.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">But when danger comes knocking, he’s just the man she needs.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">So Iris may have a slightly infamous past—and a family who more than dabs in art forgeries. Iris inherited some of their not-so-slightly shady skills, and unfortunately, now some dangerous people want to use her. When the bad guys don’t take no for an answer and they try to abduct her, it’s her sexy bodyguard next door who comes to her rescue.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Suddenly, she’s got his protection.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">The bad guys want her art skills, the Feds in stiff suits want her to work a sting, and Pierce? He just wants her to be his. And what Pierce wants, he will get. Even if he has to take down an undercover art ring and take on the Feds, he will stay by Iris’s side. He’s not just going to be her bodyguard. Before they are done, he plans to be one hell of a lot more to her…</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Author’s Note: Does it get better than having a seriously buff, ready-to-handle-any-threat bodyguard…right next door? For Iris Stuart, this turn of events is probably the best thing that has ever happened to her. But falling for sexy Pierce wasn’t supposed to happen. She’s the bad girl. He’s the hero. Except…maybe a bad girl can win the heart of the hero, provided, of course, that they can survive the danger heading their way. It’s time for another WILDE ride. What can you expect? Hot times, lots of danger, humor, thrills…and a guaranteed happy ending.</span></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /> </span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>MY REVIEW:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Bodyguard Next Door was certainly one of the most sexy, fill-your-stomach-with-butterflies swoony and perfectly humorous and 100% loaded with action and suspense and sizzling romance!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The newest Wilde Ways story was exceptionally fun and steamy. Pierce and Iris's chemistry makes a reader want to take a cold shower and fan themselves at the same time. I loved Pierce's protective and alpha nature as well as his sweet, flirty and caring one too while Iris held a lot of secrets that surprised me again and again. She had a sweet personality, and I loved her spirit. This novel was entertaining and fun and had a lot of twists, turns and heart pounding action that kept me turning the pages. The romance was also sweet, sexy and completely yummy. I can't get enough of these Wilde agents and their amazing heroines! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Bodyguard Next Door gets a STEAMY AND HILARIOUS FIVE SNAP, CRACKLE, AND POP STARS! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>Marie's Tempting Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12677522102915042923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050476256682909398.post-45982532863386480582022-05-07T17:46:00.001-04:002022-05-07T17:46:09.037-04:00NetGalley ARC Review - Unforgiven (Deep Ops #5) by Rebecca Zanetti! <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjZ8Zujt1o7IWJrwmfhKvlPYF6zLv7lVO8_yu5_wSVTm6WHeqTz6z19jJ3Y3o9FjFz7HViacZcon8i2tYI5jnQlxh5_81lZJa0uRjUa4LP7uOL-UeaBShBliyEEjK1WY327VNUPoPYIBuSnX94y52aQGijjlwbhNzV7YhI3m6mdzUP9fNNVX5BBpgRDxA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="295" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjZ8Zujt1o7IWJrwmfhKvlPYF6zLv7lVO8_yu5_wSVTm6WHeqTz6z19jJ3Y3o9FjFz7HViacZcon8i2tYI5jnQlxh5_81lZJa0uRjUa4LP7uOL-UeaBShBliyEEjK1WY327VNUPoPYIBuSnX94y52aQGijjlwbhNzV7YhI3m6mdzUP9fNNVX5BBpgRDxA=w248-h400" width="248" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>BLURB:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span id="freeText9488757231460092236" style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Run:<br />Gemma Falls never expected to use her game theory expertise to outrun a killer.

The story had an almost "Original" and "The Vampire Diaries" feel but with more breathtaking chemistry that left a feeling of awe and wonder with me.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: verdana;">Salvatore and Luca De Laurentis are really hot angel/vampire hybrids that stole my heart right from the start. Their desire and need for Angelina was rock solid and sexy as hell. Angelina was really the perfect glue that held everything together and made their connection strong and perfect. The love felt pure and raw. Add in the danger and action and smoking hot times and this book was grade A AMAZING! I am very pleased with this read and can't wait to read more from Toya Richardson!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: verdana;">Captivated gets a BREATHTAKING FIVE FANTASTIC STARS! </span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><p></p>Marie's Tempting Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12677522102915042923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050476256682909398.post-53830450366949134302022-04-04T17:13:00.002-04:002022-04-04T17:13:35.695-04:00ARC Review - Frozen In Ice by Cynthia Eden! <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiAm2_lxuD97uhS8SYAPpCXlJISRxTxIUM3xiXyOh-xkzFRfeRQ-BQdbVRqvKDC4vGvtfhfaLcgzUFEKtIEl42_eCOwigCRIQ7O2J1Yrxtdopbi8leI19Jr7damLrpufhgEMuD98sHa7Z2WhzFXI0E9m4S8QuDq6tuujGB1Ji9IDpHzFQ8UeW4ADbj8Cw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="317" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiAm2_lxuD97uhS8SYAPpCXlJISRxTxIUM3xiXyOh-xkzFRfeRQ-BQdbVRqvKDC4vGvtfhfaLcgzUFEKtIEl42_eCOwigCRIQ7O2J1Yrxtdopbi8leI19Jr7damLrpufhgEMuD98sHa7Z2WhzFXI0E9m4S8QuDq6tuujGB1Ji9IDpHzFQ8UeW4ADbj8Cw=w267-h400" width="267" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>BLURB:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Is he a drop dead gorgeous…killer?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Delilah “Lila” Darrow doesn’t belong in the world of the rich and famous, but for one night, she’s going to wear the fanciest dress she can find and pretend that she does. Her plan—get close to reclusive billionaire Archer Radcliffe and find out…is he a murderer?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">She knows exactly what Archer likes. She knows how to slip beneath his guard. She knows how to make him fall for her. With the right tools, Delilah believes she can finally make Archer pay for the crime he committed so long ago.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Payback is calling…and she’s wearing a dress made for sin.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Delilah is part of a group of crime solvers called the Ice Breakers—an online team made up of individuals who have the goal of solving cold cases. Five years ago, Delilah’s sister disappeared without a trace. Since then, Delilah has made it her mission to close as many unsolved cases as possible. Archer Radcliffe will be the latest target in her quest.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Except…Archer turns the tables on her. He sees through her lies. Tries to seduce her. And, he also swears his innocence.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Can she trust him?

The only problem? The beautiful Delilah will be in danger. But Archer intends to stick close to her. So close that the world will believe they are completely in love. So close that a deadly enemy will want to strike. So close that just maybe—if he’s not careful—Archer might begin to fall for the woman he intends to use…</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Author’s note: Archer is rich, powerful, and definitely not a man you want as an enemy. Desire can be deadly, and revenge is always best served ice cold. Looking for danger, suspense, scorching scenes, and maybe even a few cold chills? FROZEN IN ICE has you covered.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;"><b>MY REVIEW:</b></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">If you are looking for a thrill ride adventure of breath catching suspense and sizzling hot fueled romance, look no further than Cynthia Eden's newest story, Frozen In Ice! </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Frozen In Ice is a perfectly tempting story that left me feeling excited, anxious for more, and was more satisfying than a box of my favorite chocolate. Delilah is definitely not your average heroine. She is super smart, sassy, determined to take down the bad guys and has a loyalty that I admire. And Archer...dang, this sexy hero was hypnotic and so sexy, I felt my legs quiver just picturing him in my head! He made my heart race and my breath catch and made me feel allllll sorts of hot. Him and Delilah made a fantastic team. Their chemistry together sizzled. I could feel the delicious sexual tension through the pages and I was hooked. Add in the twists and dangerous turns and this story was EPIC! Its a crazy, wild adventure that has everything a reader could ever want in a romantic suspense. HIGHLY recommend.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I give Frozen In Ice a WHITE HOT FIVE FULFILLING STARS THAT SURE SUCKERPUNCHED ME RIGHT IN THE HEART! </span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /> </span><p></p>Marie's Tempting Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12677522102915042923noreply@blogger.com0
