Title: Jude
Series: The Saints Series #2
By: Kathy Coopmans
Publication Date: February 28, 2017
Genre: Romantic Suspense

Jude

I faked my way long enough by keeping my mouth shut, painting a fake smile on my face and focusing hard on my job.
I quit going out to find that random piece of ass.
Not a one of them would stand up to her anyway.
She hates me, loathes me even.
Little does Vivian Shepard know I’ve got more tricks up my sleeve than she will ever begin to imagine to get her to change her mind, to get my chance.
I’m not giving up.
I want her, and by God, I’ll fight as dirty as I can get to have her.
No matter what!

Vivian
Of course, I knew it was a one- night stand.
It’s was the perfect night before all hell broke loose to be quite honest.
Drinking, talking and flirting.
One I relished in as I tried to gravitate my mind back to solid ground after soaring so high I could feel the rush of flying.
My stomach dipped, my heart fluttered, and my toes curled inward and then I splattered to the hard surface of the ground.
Jude Westbrooke opened his big fat mouth.
He ruined it, ruined me, ruined it all.

Jude by Kathy Coopmans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jude, wow. I don't even know what to say about Jude. If you haven't read Riddick yet, I strongly suggest reading it first. Where you can read this as a stand alone, reading Riddick first will give you more of a back story on things. I really enjoyed learning more about Jude and Vivian while still keeping in touch with Riddick and Cora. Now to wait for Tyson! EEEK I can't wait.

This Anthology is not longer available for purchase.

Alphas & Fairytales: A New Year's Eve Anthology by Anne Mercier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rockin' The Suite by Rhonda James ~ 4 of 5 stars This was a good story. I have not read anything of Rhonda's before, but I have added a few to my tbr list. This was a hot, quick read.

The Main Event by Sapphire Knight ~ 5 of 5 stars I really liked this one. Sapphire is a new to me author but I will be looking up her work! This shows how important your support system is. No matter how big or small, it means the world!

Duet by Anne Mercier ~ 4 of 5 stars The first time I read this was BEFORE I read the Rockstar series. It was ok as a "standalone" but so much better after reading the series!

As the Tide Turns by B.T. Urruela ~ 5 of 5 stars Wow, just wow! I don't even know what to say about this one. B.T is a new to me author, and you bet I will be looking up more of his work!

A Powers Play by Harper Bentley ~ 4 of 5 stars Intense! I wish I would have read Gable first, and you bet I have added it to my list! This was well written, and could be a "stand alone" short story.

Craved by Lacey Black ~ 4 of 5 stars I really hate coming into a series somewhere other than the beginning, but I really liked this short story, and will be looking up more of Lacey's books.

Diced by Ginger Scott ~ 5 of 5 stars I loved it! Sure a difference from the rest of the stories. Nice to see into the staff side of the big event also!

Tempted Three Times by M. Never ~ 4 of 5 stars This was a first for me, the trinity. Again like with most of these stories, I have to look up the other books :)

Freeing His Dark Edges by Kane Caldwell ~ 4 of 5 stars I liked this story, I have never read anything by Kane before. Naomi and Chase made such a cute couple, he would have done anything she wanted. I like that this one had a bit more of back story, starting at Christmas instead of at the MMA fight.

Forbidden Attraction by C.A. Harms ~ 4 of 5 stars This was a pretty good story, it was more about feelings than the fight or gala, which was nice. The boss’s daughter is off limits……… or is she?

Forbidden by K.L. Kreig ~ 4 of 5 stars Shaw, Willow, and Noah. This short was pretty hot. I can’t wait to read their full stories!

A Wild Chase by B.B. Reid ~ 3 of 5 stars There wasn’t anything really wrong with this short story, but there wasn’t a whole lot to it either. It was different in the fact that it didn’t really center around the fight, or gala like the rest. It was more about the Vegas trip itself.

Blink by Molly McLain ~ 5 of 5 stars Not all changes happen in the blink of an eye. Some big changes happen slowly over time, without even realizing it until it's too late, or is it? I loved that Trent and Kinsey were mentioned, if you haven't read Bend yet, that is their story!

Close Encounters by Alison Bliss ~5 of 5 stars This was a great short story. It shows how screwed up things can get when emotions get in the way. Open communication is key in any good relationship. Miscommunication can screw so many things up.

Taking Greer by Winter Travers ~ 3.5 of 5 stars I’m not sure if this is part of a series or not, but it kind of reads like it is. There were some editing errors but not too bad. I am interested in reading more of Winter’s books. This actually had nothing to do with the MMA fight or the gala afterwords, the only reference was that Apollo was staying at the MGM.

A Shower For...Two? by Allie Juliette Mousseau ~ 5 of 5 stars I really loved this one, Josh is something else. I can’t wait to read the series!

There are so many new to me authors in this Anthology that my TBR list just got a lot longer!

M. Clarke's Sexiest Dad Alive

2/27/2017

0 Comments

Title: Sexiest Dad Alive

Author: M Clarke

Genre: New Adult

Cover Designer: Regina Wamba at Mae I Design & Photography

Photographer: Shauna Kruse

Models: Josh McCann & Daughter

Hosted by: Lady Amberâ€™s PR

Blurb:

Life isnâ€™t a fairytale. Sometimes you have to fight for happily ever after. And sometimes you just have to let go.

Josh Bennett

It was a simple offer.

I invited Isla to rent a room in my five thousand square foot home. Plenty of rooms and plenty of space. But the second she moved in, I knew I was in trouble. I could handle wanting her when there was distance between us, but once we started to play house, all my pent up desire started knocking down walls.

That was my first mistake of many.

The private investigator I hired to track down my ex found her not far from where I live. I should have locked my past behind me, but something urged me to find her. Iâ€™m glad I did. But our union left me with a situation to be reckoned with.

When a new fire is lit and old flames rekindle, one will have to burn out.

The decisions Iâ€™ll have to make wonâ€™t be easy.

No matter what I choose, my heart will break.

International Bestselling, Award-Winning Author Mary Ting/M. Clarke resides in Southern California with her husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M Clarke? She tours with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her children's chapter book-No Bullies Allowed.

Blurb:

MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAYâ€¦This is the sailing vessel Lucky Day. Vessel taking on water. Current position: Latitude: N 14Â° 53' 37.7844", Longitude: W 61Â° 41' 57.1875".

MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAYâ€¦This is the sailing vessel Lucky Day.

Finn Cohen isnâ€™t a survivalist. He likes computers and internet-researched his way into the final round of contenders for a new type of reality show. The premise? Spend 30 days on a deserted island with a woman heâ€™s never met, and pass the tests the producers give them. Sounds easy enough. He just hopes he gets stuck with the hot chick he canâ€™t stop staring at.

Penniless is exactly what Jessa McDaniel is. Sheâ€™s living in her car, working under the table wherever she canâ€¦which, without a high school education is about all she can do. She needs to get on the show. She needs the money. Jessa is confident she can survive. Sheâ€™s been doing it since she was old enough to remember. She just hopes the producers donâ€™t put her with the stupid guy that keeps staring at her.

Will the pair last thirty days under harsh conditions? Or will the producersâ€™ tasks have them crying Mayday sooner than weâ€™d like?

Two souls. One goal: Sink or Swim.

Title: Breathe
By: Amber Lacie
Publication Date: December 10, 2016
Genre: Contemporary

Sometimes love is fated in the stars. You know you are destined for each other. Your souls entwine and you can’t imagine your life without them.

Sometimes it’s found when you’re not looking for it. It peeks around the corner when you least expect it, sweeping you off your feet, carrying you off into the sunset.

Sometimes, there are a lucky few who get to experience both. I was one of the lucky ones.

Breathe by Amber Lacie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Personally I had a really hard time reading this story. The writing style was good, very few editing errors. It just didn't grab my interest. The characters were unlikable for me. Carsten was so fragile, she NEEDED a man in order to live, I didn't like that. The thing with Micheal was hard, I understand how that could effect someone. However, Holden, I didn't like him....... at all. He was borderline creepy stalker =/ Owen however was amazing. He put the pieces back together and made her want to help herself. He didn't try to cover it up or hide the issue, he helped her fix it. Self confidence is a bugger, I loved Owen for what he did.

The good Senator focused more attention to Jillianâ€™s breasts than her face and Jeremy found his cavalier treatment of her angered him more than he wanted to admit.

It was obvious to Jeremy that Jillian had also noticed the Senatorâ€™s roving eyes, because her eyes narrowed fractionally, but she only smiled.

â€œI look forward to it.â€

They watched him stride away to engage yet another young woman.

â€œHow can you stand this?â€ Jeremy whispered and then took a large drink of champagne.

Jillian scanned the room. â€œItâ€™s all part of the game.â€

â€œWell then I officially hate this game. Think youâ€™ll have to sleep with him to get what you want?â€ he said with a side glance.

Jillian grinned. â€œProbably,â€ she said and took a sip of her drink.

â€œIf you do, you better get things in writing first. Youâ€™d most likely kill him in the process.â€
