Lynn's Reviews

Veiled (Veiled #1)

Veiled by Stacey Rourke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Some authors find their niche and never vary or stray outside the box. Not Rourke. When she puts pen to paper greatness happens. There isn't a glass ceiling she hasn't shattered in the Indie Book Community. While her signature snark and wit are always a constant; she can write YA, NA, fantasy, paranormal, or rom-com. Rourke is not boxed in and she proves that yet again with Veiled.

In true Rourke fashion, Stacey has wowed fans yet again with her amazing writing. I LOVE that no matter what genre she is writing her signature style is always present. Her bad ass heroines are inspiring whether they are battling gnomes, facing the demon within, trying to make it down the isle, or infiltrating a vampire organization.

Quoted as saying she would never write a vampire novel, Rourke has down just that. But unlike sparkly vamps, or blood thirsty hot bar owning vamps, Rourke has brought story to this century and made a bold political statement. I love how she takes the classic vampire and makes him her own. This is no Bram Stoker retelling. Rourke left me with a ending that had my jaw on the floor and anxiously awaiting more.

Vlad (Veiled, #2)

Vlad by Stacey Rourke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dracula has always been sexy and suave in all the books and movies, but Rourke's Dracula is HAWT! Vlad has old school charm, a bit if awkwardness, and is simply swoon worthy. He fills out a three-piece suit like a GQ cover model. (Rarrr)

Rourke weaves in Vlad's backstory seamlessly; and its not the overdone version either. Her version while steeped in history has her own twist.

The wit and snark of Vincenza is ever present in Vlad. She is one of my favorite characters.

Vlad is quite the page turner. I read it in one day! Secrets are revealed to Vincenza. Life altering decisions are made. There's romance! (Did I tell you how HAWT Vlad is?) And the ending!!!!! Hold on to your seats cause hell hath no fury like a scorned woman. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!

Vendetta (Veiled Book 3)

Vendetta by Stacey Rourke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This cover is amazing and completley encompasses the ending in the previous book.

Vincenza is the ultimate bad a**! What an ending! Rourke ripped my heart out but made up for it with Vlad sexiness.

All I can say is long live the Queen!

Cover ReVamp ~ Touch Me Not by Apryl Baker

5/2/2020

Title: Touch Me Not

Author: Apryl Baker

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publication Date: May 14^th, 2020

Hosted by: Lady Amberâ€™s PR

Blurb:A past tragedy has left Lily Holmes burdened with a devastating secretâ€¦

Since the death of her twin sister, Lily canâ€™t bear to be touched. Not accidentally, not casuallyâ€¦and certainly not intimately. This makes it impossible for her to confess to her best friend Adam Roberts that sheâ€™s in love with him. She canâ€™t give him the sort of relationship he needs, so she watches in silence while he plans his wedding with someone else.

Enter Nikoli Kinkaid, the campus manwhoreâ€¦

Nikoli is a self-proclaimed connoisseur of women, and he wants to add Lily to his list of conquests, but she wants nothing to do with himâ€”until he makes her an offer she canâ€™t refuse. Heâ€™ll teach her to enjoy human contact again, giving her a chance to win over Adam, while Nikoli uses all his considerable charm to seduce her.

But Lily raises the stakesâ€¦

Lily loves cars. Her late father was a racer, and she grew up under the hood of a car and on the racetrack. Nikoli has a limited edition 1970 Plymouth Barracuda she covets, so she informs him the terms of their deal also require he not sleep with anyone for six months. If he does, sheâ€™ll win the car. If she surrenders and ends up in his bed, his beloved â€™Cuda is his to keep.

In an intricate dance of control and surrender, a reluctant friendship becomes something more. Lily begins to crave things she never believed she could, and Nikoli realizes there is more at stake than his reputation.

If Lily overcomes her phobia, will she crave Adamâ€™s touch as sheâ€™s starting to crave Nikoliâ€™s? Or will she only find pleasure from the touch of a semi-reformed manwhore?

So who am I?

Well, Iâ€™m the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friends laugh at me when I scare myself watching them and tell me to stop watching them, but who doesnâ€™t love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep.

Now, I live in a small town in West Virginia where I entertain my niece and nephew and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling something fierceâ€¦lol.

I love books, I love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.

Cover Reveal ~ For All The Right Reasons by Rachael Brownell

5/1/2020

Title: For All the Right Reasons

Author: Rachael Brownell

Genre: Friends to Lovers Romance

Cover Designer: Cover Me, Darling

Publication Date: May 18^th, 2020

Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR

Blurb:

Sometimes love shatters the best-laid plans.

A fling.

Our little secret.

It was fun. He was available, with a sharp tongue and a killer body.

My attraction was palpable. I couldnâ€™t resist the magnetic pull I felt anytime he was around. And to be honest, I didnâ€™t want to.

But like all good things, our tryst came to an end.

Even though our time between the sheets may have been over that didnâ€™t mean I wasnâ€™t still attracted to him. It didnâ€™t erase the fact I dreamed of him at night and remembered our time together fondly.

Because if thereâ€™s one thing I can say for sure about Nathan, itâ€™s that heâ€™s unforgettable. In more ways than one.

Cover Reveal ~ Paradise & Vodka by Kimberly Knight

4/27/2020

Title: Paradise & Vodka (Saddles & Racks #6)

Author: Kimberly Knight

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Publication Date: June 1^st, 2020

Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR

Blurb:

From USA Today Bestselling author Kimberly Knight comes book six in her strong, sexy, and suspenseful Saddles & Racks series.

The bad boy â€¦

Growing up, Nicholas Hawkins was always the life of the party, and that hasn't changed. The only difference is that now he gets paid to do itâ€”literally. He's the last man standing, so to speak, from his group of friends of Saddles & Racks. He plans to be a male escort for as long as the women still book dates with him, and he hopes that's for many, many, many more years.

The nerd â€¦

Ashleigh James got the brains when it came to her and her twin sister, Everleigh. Growing up, all the boys wanted to date the pretty sister, and that didn't change when Ashleigh brought home her boyfriend during college. Everleigh wasted no time hooking up with Ashleigh's beau, leaving the sisters estranged for several years until Ashleigh receives her sisterâ€™s wedding invitation. Turns out, Everleigh is marrying the man she stoleâ€”and in Fiji no less.

The ruse â€¦

Not wanting to show up alone, Ashleigh's best friend talks her into hiring a male escort to bring with her to paradise. A bad boy who is the complete opposite of her ex. Since Nick is the last to fall, his friends bet him that he'll find love during the weeklong trip. Neither one expects anything to happen except nightly fun while pretending they're dating. When the attraction between the two is undeniable, they both fight their desire toward each other because one can't fall for someone they hired to date, and the other can't lose a bet.

But the two might not have to worry about their feelings because Mother Nature has other plans that will leave everyone running, kidnapped, or â€¦

Dead.

Cover Revamp ~ Brandy Nacole

4/20/2020

Title: Buried in the Bayou & Whispers in the Lake

Author: Brandy Nacole

Genre: YA Paranormal Suspense

Cover Designer: Melissa Stevens at The Illustrated Author

Hosted by: Lady Amberâ€™s PR

Blurb: Our lifestyle, son, doesnâ€™t have room for happily ever after.

My dad drilled this mantra into my head so many times I used to chant it in my sleep. Then came Jo. She made it impossible to remember the danger of teaching an outsider our secrets. I wanted her to know everything about me. The danger of this truth became all too real and after helping her find peace in her small town, I left to keep her safe.

My sister and I hit the road to continue our family duty of slaying evil spirits. With another closed case behind us, we head to the Louisiana Bayou to solve a murder and find a missing hunter. But as we dig through the townâ€™s history, we begin to discover this is not a simple haunting. A darker evil is feeding the spirits. An evil we may not be able to beat.

As the danger begins to mount, Jo appears in my life again. As much as I want to be with her, I must do everything I can to keep her safe. Even if it means she'll hate me forever. After all, our lifestyle doesn't have room for happily ever after.

Blurb:

Dark betrayals can lead to dark consequences.

It had always been the two of us, me and my brother Cooper. Taught to hunt ghosts and send them on their way, we were raised as a team by our mother and father. Now, I'm riding solo. After getting a call from an old friend, I take her request for help. It's the best excuse I've got to put 2,000 miles between me, my past, and all the other emotions I'm not wanting to feel right now.

On a lake in Maine, apparitions are seen and cries are heard across the smooth waterâ€™s surface. Many have drowned near a small island that sits in the lake's center. The town is tight lipped and claims they were all accidents, but I know better. One drowning, sure. Dozens, not so much.

However, the more I start to uncover about the town and its dark history, the more my own past begins to catch up with me. This time, the dark betrayals will not go unnoticed and with nowhere to hide, I have no choice but to face them.

Whenever sheâ€™s not reading or writing, Brandy is spending time with her family and friends, throwing around crazy ideas, teaching, and singing like a rock star at a concert for no one else but herself. She loves plants, but unfortunately is a killer of anything that requires water but canâ€™t voice (scream) their needs.

Launch Date: May 14th, 2020

Splashed across every media outlet are claims I’m a violent murderer. A menace to society that must be stopped at all cost.

I… would love to see them try.

An enemy of the Nosferatu hides in plain sight. His lone goal– to watch the world burn. As the newly appointed vampire queen, I’m done allowing my people to suffer for his twisted agenda.

Dorian Gray thinks he knows pain.

He believes he owns the market on public manipulation.

He hunkers under the belief that his power and status make him untouchable.

I can’t wait to prove him wrong.

A darkness has rooted itself in me, one older than the first vampiric bloodline. An unimaginable strength courses through my veins, and I will use it to make Dorian bow before me. They call me the Dragon Queen, and I own the title. Because I, alone, know that the malevolent essence within me is one no man could ever tame.
