~ REVIEW~

Where to start? Easy.... Undeniable is the perfect book to end a great series. Undeniable will have you rooting, screaming, cheering, crying a lot and going ahhh...... 

Undeniable we see Jude and Callie.

Callie this good hearted woman that will give her last penny to help someone. She hard headed and don't want to get hurt. 

Jude is a fighter. He fights for his family and do everything and anything to keep them save and happy, he takes care of his own. Thats until on fated night which leaves him unable to do this. He has to do one of the hardest thing he has ever done and that is to accept help from his friends.

I give Undeniable a 4.5 stars.

- EXCERPT -
“Hello.” I froze as Jude’s voice carried up the stairway, then jumped up from my position on the floor in our bedroom and scrambled for the door. Before I opened it, I turned back to face the kids, who were playing tug-of-war with the unnamed puppy.
“Stay here.” They both nodded, and I slipped out of the room, closing the door behind me. Jude had just reached the top of the steps, and he looked up with a smile.
“Where are the kids?”
“They’re playing in our room,” I said as I approached him.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“Nothing,” I assured him as I continued to walk. He cocked an eyebrow at me, and my stomach dropped. He was seeing right through me. I was such a bad liar.
“The kids are busy. Wanna sneak downstairs and have a quickie?” I wagged my eyebrows, but his facial expression did not change in the slightest.
“Now I know you’re full of shit. You’re actually attempting to distract me with sex,” he said with a grin. I was just about to argue when the puppy barked.
“What was that?” he asked.
“Uh…”
My stomach was flipping around anxiously, and I didn’t even get to figure out a way to break the news before everything broke loose. The bedroom door came open behind me, and I heard the puppy’s claws tapping against the hardwood floor as Zoey and Matthew followed him. Squealing and laughter filled the hallway as I remained locked in place. I avoided looking at Jude. In fact, I stared down the floor instead.
“Are those my boxers?” Jude asked, and I looked up. He was pointing at the puppy, who was sitting back on his butt looking up at Jude. Hanging from his mouth were a red pair of Jude’s Calvin Klein boxers I had just purchased last week.
“Warrior likes to play tug-of-war with them,”
Matthew announced as he pulled on the other end of the red material.
“See, you just hook your hand through this handle, and he pulls back.”
Matthew slipped his little hand through the front opening in the boxers.
“His name is not Warrior,” Zoey argued.
“We still have to draw for his name, remember? Callie said so.”
I could feel Jude’s eyes boring in to me. I knew he was waiting for me to look up, but I was avoiding eye contact.
“What do you think we should name him, Uncle Jude?” Matthew asked.
“I like Warrior, but Zoey said Buddy or Charlie. I don’t like those.”
The kids began to argue over the name of our new puppy, and of course I continued to keep my head down as my heart raced with the idea that Jude may be angry.
“Callie,” Jude said, and my stomach lurched. He didn’t sound mad, yet he didn’t sound happy, either. Silence set in, and I knew all eyes were on me. I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes tightly.
“I never should have let them convince me to go into the pet store, but before I knew what hit me, they were laughing and playing with this cute little guy.”
I looked up and found Jude staring back at me, an unreadable expression on his face. “They ganged up on me, and they gave me that look. You know the one.”
t was then I noticed the smile tugging at his lips. “Are you ever going to be able to tell them no?”
Jude asked as he stepped around the puppy. I shook my head. I knew the moment they turned on me and gave me those big, sad eyes, I was putty in their hands. I was unable to disappoint them.

My Review


I received a ARC copy from the Author. 

Lets start with that I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into book nr 2 of Finding Love in New York - Always and Forever. I love the first book so I went in with high expectation for book nr 2 and boy I wasn't disappointed.

In Always and Forever we take off where we left in Finding Love in New York. And things does take off. I don't want to give any spoilers.

We see Callum and Gabbys love for each other grow and just like in any real relationship we see the miss understanding and blowing things out of proportions. The relationship created by Mags between Cal and Gabs is amazing and I could relate to it. 

Gabby is still a bit insecure with what is happening but starts to accept it. Callum is still a jealous bastard but his sweet and sexy side does come forward.

The love is hot and steamy and will have you fanning yourself after the read. There will be moments when you want to through your e-reader at the wall and moments where you need a tissue and your heart breaks with Cal and Gab.

I give Always and Forever 4.5 stars out of five. If you love Finding love in New York you will enjoy this one.

I can't wait to read Jen and Pauls story in A Love Betrayed. 

I'm just wandering will we see a story of Suzanne and Mitch, fingers crossed....

Blog Tour & Book Review - Broken Barriers by Sara Shirley




BROKEN BARRIERS
Author: Sara Shirley
Series: Barriers Series Book #4
~ SYNOPSIS ~
It was just supposed to be a “friends with benefits” type of fling. Feelings were never supposed to get in the way. Drew Daley never thought Courtney Page would be the one to change all that.

He watched her walk away to pursue her own dreams while Drew’s Marine Corps orders sent him packing for a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Something told him to never let her go; to fight for her and his country.

Can a decision from years ago make all the difference in one’s future? 

Time has passed. People have changed. Lives have gone in different directions. Drew returns broken and torn after nearly eighteen months overseas and everything isn’t what it was when he left. Life after deployment isn’t nearly as easy to fit into as he thought. Until new friends and familiar faces enter his life and everything changes.

When his mind is trying to piece together all the puzzles surrounding his life, Cole Porter might just be the one to heal his broken heart and guide him in the right direction. However something about Cole is vaguely familiar to Drew. Despite what his head tells him he begins to get closer to her.

Will Drew finally be able to let his heart heal and move on?

Sometimes you have to face your dreams and fears all at once in order to recover. Otherwise you may never heal the broken pieces inside of you.

~My Review~

I received an ARC copy of Broken Barriers for the blog tour I am hosting.
One word comes to mind when I think of the Author - Talent. Sara is becoming one of my favorite Authors stealing our hearts one book at a time.

Broken Barriers is book 4 in the Barriers series. This book was close  on becoming my favorite one. We met Drew in book two and if he did start to capture your heart in that one he sure as hell will in this one. Drew had to leave the love of his life behind when he got his papers to go serve his country aboard. When he returns he is not the same Drew that left - broken.

 But as all good love stories grow the hero first has to be broken down before his savoir can save him. And here we find it in Cole. A sweet girl that can save him from his horrors.

Sara gave us the perfect end to this series with Broken Barriers and one can't help to feel sad that is series has come to an end. This is an amazing read and you don't have to read the others to know whats going on in this one. Its a heart warming story and will have you go "AHHHHH" in the end.

I give Broken Barriers 4 Stars

~ ABOUT THE AUTHOR ~
Sara Shirley
I think my love for books started when I was a teenager on summer vacations reading Mary Higgins Clark novels. As I grew older that turned into reading romance novels. Now, that's turned into me writing three romance novels and another on the way in the series. 

In college I actually majored in Geography and concentrated in Travel & Tourism. I still love to travel constantly, but now find myself working in the world of Finance during the day and writing romance novels at night. 

I was born and raised just north of Boston and currently live with my husband and cat. When I'm not running a mile a minute with work and books you can find me at a local wine tasting or out with friends at the pub doing shots of Patron. I have a weak spot for candy, Ghirardelli chocolate to be exact. I am addicted to the three "C"s. Coffee, Cheese and Carbs. I grew up with an Italian family and giving those up will never be an option. 

I typically have a dirty mind and zero filter between my head and my mouth. If you are around me...good luck. I'm obsessed with hockey, Oregon football, beaches, Supernatural, Friends and stupid comedy movies. I've been called a "tall drink of water" due to my height and love for platform heels. Chances are you will not miss me if we are ever in the same room. Just look for the chick laughing hysterically, wearing heels and holding a glass of wine in her hand. That will be me.

Book Tour & Review - Amplify by Anne Mercier


AMPLIFY

~ SYNOPSIS ~
SERA
He’s my protector, my confidante. Then one night he became more. I want him, I need him, and, if I’m honest with myself, I love him. I just don’t know if he’ll ever see me as more than what we’ve always been: friends. I don’t want to lose him but it’s getting harder and harder to keep my feelings to myself. Should I risk it all or play it safe?

CAGE
She’s my light, my saving grace. The night we came together I knew I could never live without her. I want her to be mine: my lover, my friend. Maybe, if I can get her to see past all the reasons why we shouldn’t be together, she’ll be my forever. It just might be time to turn it up and go for broke.

~ MY REVIEW~

I Just couldn't wait to read Sera and Cage story. Yeah I love Jesse and Lucy to bits but while reading Book 1 and Book 2 you just keep on wondering what is it with Sera and Cage. Oh boy do you find out the whole thing.

Amplify is book 3 in this Amazing Series, and the whole twist of the mafia and the bit of darkness is what kept me going. It made you want to see what will happen next. Will they come out on top. (duh obviously since they the mafia but you still wonder).

We learn a lot in this book of Sera and Cage and why they are the way they are. We see how each one pulls the other one out of its shell and show what true love is. The love scenes is a bit more detailed and will have you fanning yourself to get cold. But I'm not going to lie to you Sera and Cage love is tested in some of the ways that will break most couples and will have tears running down your cheek.

This series is going to keep growing and will be huge. I would love to see Xander my man find love and see how he copes with it. But that just me.

I will recommend this book and series to anyone who is up for a little danger and romance mixed with crazy crowds and tears.

I give Amplify 4 Stars

FALLING DOWN
Author: Anne Mercier
Series: Rockstar Series, Book #1 
Genre: Contemporary Adult Romance 
~ SYNOPSIS ~
Jesse Kingston, the lead singer of Falling Down, is a tall, dark, and gorgeous temptation I don't want to resist.

I'm going to ignore all the warning signs and do what I normally wouldn't--I'm going to give in to my desire. I'm going to indulge my fantasies and give this sexy rocker what he wants and something he won't soon forget--me.

Is one time going to be enough? Will one weekend together end up changing this bad boy? Or will it end up changing me?

BLUSH
Author: Anne Mercier
Series: Rockstar Series #2
Genre: Contemporary Adult Romance
~ SYNOPSIS ~
*WARNING* This is not a dark romance. There will be minimal angst or drama. There will be lots of laughs, frequent dropping of the F-bomb, and crazy monkey sex. 

You know how people say they woke up in Vegas married and you're like, how the hell could that possibly happen? Who does that? Well, us apparently… and the press is having a field day. 

Let's not even get started on the topic of my mother. Then there's my grandpa wanting to meet my new husband--that's not scary at all. On top of that, we're heading out on tour and I'm a nervous wreck--factor in the fact that Jesse's newly changed marital status doesn't seem to be an issue for the groupies. Nothing deters them. Not even the fact that I'm standing right there when they proposition him.

I can handle the press, my mom, and even my grandpa. But the women who are ruining my current mood of "happy", well, they've got another thing coming. It's time to put these women in their place because nobody messes with my happily ever after.

Lucy and Jesse continue in Blush, Rockstar #2.

~ ABOUT THE AUTHOR ~
Anne Mercier
First and foremost I am an avid reader of romance. I read every single day. Without reading I wouldn't be inspired to write. The same can be said about music. I started reading with Nora Roberts and Sandra Brown's LoveSwept titles forever ago and went from reading solely traditionally published to reading nearly all indie authors. I still read my Nora and a few others. A must.

I'm just a reader who likes to writes stories sometimes. I hope you enjoy reading my stories as much as I enjoy writing them.

I'm a huge fan of music, chocolate, fruit, desserts, Fall, M. Shadows, Avenged Sevenfold, and Milo Ventimiglia

Blog Tour & Book Review - Keeping King by Anne Jolin



KEEPING KING
Author: Anne Jolin
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Series: Rock Falls #4 
~ SYNOPSIS ~
***Can be read as a standalone or as part of the Rock Falls series.***

Peyton Callaghan is a fighter, a survivor, a warrior. When it was kill or be killed, she didn’t hesitate. Now, she’s the only one left standing, haunted by the ghost of a dead man and plagued with the guilt of having taken another person’s life. The upheaval of her life to start over in Rock Falls has been rocky at best, her worst nightmares and wildest desires colliding with each other. Terror tortures her nightly, breeding fear inside her dreams, and in every waking moment, she fights against the lust that threatens to drown her. 

Jayden King harbors secrets beneath his outward playboy demeanor. The women who warm his bed lay claim to nothing—you can’t lay claim to someone who doesn’t have a heart. His wit and charm are exquisite means of deflection and distraction from the turmoil roaring inside him. He’s hidden in plain sight, a mask of humor keeping the sadness at bay. The only real reflections of his soul are in the artwork he creates, pieces of him muraled on the skin of others. If tattoo artists could have a calling card, the etch of pain and suffering in each design would be his. Because when the lights go out and the women he’s satisfied have gone home, he’s alone with every fear he refuses to face.

After suffering from a brutal attack at the hands of her roommate’s stalker, Peyton is forced to live with the object of her affection. Without intention, she breathes love into his starved heart, and although the mere thought of that terrifies him, Jayden would burn the city down to keep her safe, causalities be damned. 

Some people you have. Some people you hold. 

She can have him. She can hold him. But can she keep King? Or is it impossible for Callaghan to keep something that was never really hers to begin with?

AMAZON | KOBO | B&N | iBooks


~ MY REVIEW ~ 

Anne Jolin has master the art of making you want to read her book even when you are not in the mood for reading. Her books will take you out of your slumber and awaken you from your sleep. I am falling more in love with this series with every book. They are no longer just characters they feel like old friends.

Keeping King is book 4 in the Rock Falls series. And here we see Peyton and Jayden fall more in love with each other. We learn what Peyton dark secret is and the reason for those nightmares she is having. Jayden  we see a side of him we never seen before, and that behind that fun character of him he is actually concealing hurt and guild.

The relationship doesn't just happen and it take them a few tries before they finally have the guts not only to admit to themselves but also to each other that they have feeling for one another. But and yes there is a but, their love is tested. Tested in ways that will have you screaming at the book and praying oh God let this not be the end.

There is a happy ending, and it will have you going aww and yes the epilogue will have saying WTF...... Now Miss Jolin should just hurry up her little cute bud and finish book five. I need to know what is going to happen next.

Keeping King is a sweet love story and will have you routing for Peyton and leave you wanting to kick Jayden on his ass. If you looking for a fun read pick up Keeping King and fall in love with Rock Falls.

I give Keeping King 5 Stars

~ ABOUT THE AUTHOR ~ 
Anne Jolin
I’m twenty four years old. I was born and raised in Ladner, a small farm town just outside of Vancouver, Canada. I grew up riding horses, shooting guns and riding in trucks. I’ve been married to my handsome redneck husband for a year and we are parents to our chocolate fur baby, Bear. No kiddo’s yet! I am completely and utterly obsessed with country music, you will constantly find me stalking iTunes. If you don’t find me on iTunes, you’ll find me on Netflix because I am a self proclaimed movie junkie. Yes, that means that I quote them constantly in daily conversation and my characters do too! You couldn’t keep me away from a good action movie if you tried. I’m also a planning nut. I love to plan parties, events, trips – you name it! I don’t know if that’s considered a real hobby, but it is for me. 

We were fortunate enough to travel a lot as a family growing up, and I think that helped spark my love of reading. I’m half Viking, my mom is Danish, and her entire side of the family still lives in Denmark. We’d visit them almost once a year, every year and it’s a nine hour flight. That’s a lot of uninterrupted time to read (or in my parent’s case, entertain four children – Yikes!). Somewhere along the way my love of reading, became a love of writing. I wrote short stories when I was younger, and although I majored in Business Management at college, I took as many English electives I could get my hands on. 

During the day I work at my family construction company wearing a variety of different hats and at night, I write! I had never thought about writing books before, but after a few suggestions that I should try, I decided to give it a go. I loved it instantly! Having always been a creative person, it felt amazing to harness all that energy and use it to tell a story. Now, quite frankly it’s all I can think about, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m grateful to have developed my love of reading into a passion for writing. You’ll be seeing many more books from me in the future!
