Deliver was nothing that I expected, but everything that I like to see in a novel. A plot so tattered that you can’t help but feel the emotions from the creativity of the author. Each word a jarring step further into the darkness but still within the light. Obviously - I devoured this story in one sitting. Take a chance on a book that is nothing like you will expect, but has the ability to transport you into a world you will not be able to get out of your head.
VANQUISH
Let me start off by saying…..I wasn’t sure I wanted to read Van’s story. Why? Well….that is where you as a reader would have to read Deliver and make your own opinions about this man!! However - I was teetering on what type of ‘madness’ would present itself with this tattered and torn character.
What I found was an unexpected trip into madness that only Van could pull off. A unique view of living life outside of what is perceived as ‘normal’ in the rest of the world. A stark realization of what ‘tainted’ love looks like. Van is definitely not the ‘guy next door’. In fact - he is as far from that as you could possibly imagine. What Van has going for him is loyalty. With so few in his life that he would protect at all costs, Van isn’t a person to take lightly.
DISCLAIM
What a tangled web surrounds Camila and the way her life intertwines in the dark world of slavery. The pursuit of vengeance is a dark road. One that will lead Camila back into the chains that embroil those captured in this world. Matias knows that Camila is the one person that he trusts. The only thing that stands in his way is making sure Camila feels the same. The way he goes about peeling back the layers of their past will lead you on an unforgettable journey that grips your very soul. A dark and twisted tale that has to be experienced as it unfolds. Another amazing tale that only Pam Godwin’s writing can create!!

As someone who enjoys collecting cookbooks, I oftentimes find myself overwhelmed at the steps, ingredients, and time involved in cooking at home. WhenAs someone who enjoys collecting cookbooks, I oftentimes find myself overwhelmed at the steps, ingredients, and time involved in cooking at home. When I laid eyes on the cookbook from Lauren Allen, I found myself pulled in by the simplicity of the recipes.
Let’s face it - when you cook at home you will find yourself in a rut. A repetitive cycle of preparing the same dishes each week because time isn’t always on your side. Allen’s cookbook reminded me that sometimes the simplest of recipes can carry you through the week so you can avoid that fast-food trap we often gravitate towards.
The recipes in this cookbook are simple and easy to follow. With beautiful photos and QR codes that take you to videos of the meal preparation, how can you go wrong? I have tried out many of the recipes found between the pages and have had rave reviews from the pickiest eater in the house (my husband)!! The is a wonderful ‘everyday’ cookbook that everyone should add to their collection. ...more

As with any job that the folks in town call ‘seedy’, Hank knows a thing or two about someone looking down their noses at his occupation. Hank is the owner of the very well-known Pink Pony. (The local strip club if you didn’t catch the not-so-subtle hint) Until now, Hank relished in that seedy reputation and the regulars that it brings to his club.
What Hank never could have predicted was to find Charlotte applying for a job at The Pink Pony. Charlotte is a divorced mother with four children. Her husband walked out of the picture with one of Hank’s dancers. Hank can’t believe his eyes but is determined not to let Charlotte and her ‘goodness’ interfere with his business.

With some strictly R rated thoughts going through his mind, Hank tries his best to keep from sullying Charlotte’s reputation around town. As the duo fights their attraction, Charlotte reveals she might have another hidden agenda for asking for employment at the Pink Pony.
Hank has been a favorite character from the early days of the Winston series. The anticipation about Hank’s future was always at the forefront with each spinoff.

With strippers, car washes, costumes, and a new bookkeeper….Hank’s chance at finding his ‘one true love’ was definitely worth the wait!!...more

The series must be read in order to keep from losing any of the nuances of the ploHere we go…..the third and final installment in the 365 DNI series. The series must be read in order to keep from losing any of the nuances of the plot. After the roller coaster scene that readers were left with in the second book, I couldn’t wait to uncover what would happen next with Massimo, Laura, and Nacho.
The Next 365 Days doesn’t exactly start out where things left off in book 2. In fact, Laura has a hard time finding out the events that led her to the moment she wakes up. When Laura does recuperate, the antics begin. Partying, shopping, clubbing……nothing is off limits as Laura works through the reality of her life.
Through the chaos, there seems to be someone watching Laura in the most unexpected times. As Laura grapples with the reality of her kidnapping, the twists, and turns of life in the mafia might be more than anyone can bare.
It’s pretty hard to keep the plot of this book under wraps when reviewing. All I will say is everything worked out the way that I thought it should have. Laura’s future is nothing short of interesting. The chaos and upheaval in this book is nothing short of insane. Fans of the series will read this one with a lot of commentary that will escape from the mouth with the start of each chapter.
Then there is the Epilogue….things were wrapped up too neatly in my book. With all of the unrealistic drama that unfolded in the two previous books, I found so many plot points that were left without closure. In spite of that, I still found myself enjoying the final installment of this insanely 'off the wall' romance. ...more

It is the second book in the Fate & Flames series and MUST be read in order to understand the plot.
Uncovering the story in this fantasy series, readers will find themselves on the journey belonging to Romeria. With a bounty hanging over her head, Romeria travels the lands with Zander by her side. Zander has his own focus on this journey, to regain the throne to the kingdom. As the two embark upon their journey together, readers will be drawn into the story with these two characters.
While I typically love everything that K.A. Tucker pens to paper, I found myself overwhelmed with this novel. The list of characters to keep track of is long and tedious. Remembering the part, they play in the plot of the story was taxing. There is a ton of information about Gods, lore, and the politics involved for the throne. As much as I wanted to immerse myself in this story, it was overwhelming to the point of leaving me feeling disconnected from the story at times.
Final verdict….I am rating this novel in the ‘middle of the road’ because I do love the slow burn romance that is brewing between Romeria and Zander. Wherever this story leads these two characters, I sure do hope it is a journey full of memorable moments. ...more

This second chance romance revolves around an MMA fighter that is gunning for the fight of his life. The secrets that are lurking behind each chapter pull you deeper into the story. While Talia experiences some moments of weakness, readers will enjoy the way this story plays out.

As Emily begins to dive deeper into the mysteries surrounding Villa Aestas, she finds more about her own personal life than she could have ever bargained for. Will the Villa claim another victim?
An interesting turn of events are hidden behind the walls of Villa Aestas. As Emily and Chess pulled readers deeper into their story, I found myself reflecting a few similarities with Fleetwood Mac and the fictitious rockers in this novel. The story hops back and forth between the present day and the 1970s. Sometimes a little confusing, I still found the premise of the plot very interesting. Emily was a character that I desperately wanted to find her ‘ever after’. Will Villa Aesta claim another victim in this sordid tale of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll? ...more
