Break My Bones by Rachael Tamayo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by this author, but holy cow, I need to look up more! This book was NOTHING like I expected, I was thinking more spooky, with Halloween coming up. Boy was I wrong!!

This had so much real, raw emotion! A dual POV with mental illness, domestic abuse, and all the horrors that come with it. So heartbreaking, mainly because it's so true and hits home for so many people. I have not been in a situation even close to this, but I was transported right there with Brooklyn. I highly recommend this book!

Staring down the barrel of a loaded 9mm is a wake-up call, especially when it’s your husband’s finger on the trigger. Brooklyn James’s only thought is to take her baby and run. It's better to end up on the streets than suffer one more day beneath her husband's hand.

Finally back on her feet, Brooklyn is stronger, better prepared, and determined not to run. That is until she gets the call that her husband has been released from prison after serving his three years for DWI.

Cain James has his wife on his mind, always. With his friend Donovan at his side, anything is possible. He can find her, bring her home, make her love him again. While Cain has serious anger issues, Donovan is much worse. Cain can’t control his friend's sick, twisted mind and even sicker actions.

Donovan has Cain's best interest at heart, and he'll do whatever it takes to help Cain bring his wife home—including murder. After his time in prison, Cain doesn’t want to hurt his wife again and becomes a man torn—divided between the darkness inside him, his twisted love, and his lifelong protector, Donovan.

As Cain tries to convince his wife that he’s changed, he watches the bodies hit the floor one by one at the hands of his sidekick. Enraged by his estranged wife’s new love and conflicted by his own anger and need to protect his family, Cain unravels.

He can’t live without her, and he won’t let her live without him.

Unable to resist the knowledge that my family is only separated from me by an apartment door, I pocket my keys and rush to the door. After knocking, I duck just out of view of the peephole, hoping she might open the door.

The door flies open, and I’m not faced with my wife, but my child. She stands wide-eyed and curious, looking up at me. “Hi, baby, remember me?” I crouch to her level.

Brooklyn comes around the corner, freezing when she sees me in her open door. “Carissa, why did you answer the door? I told you…,” she starts with a tremble in her voice.

“Mama, it’s Daddy! Daddy’s back!”

She remembers me. I laugh with tears in my eyes, accepting the child that rushes into my arms in a hug. “You remember!” I laugh, standing and lifting her off the floor. I don’t wait to be asked in, knowing I won’t be. Stepping inside, I shut the door behind me with a kick.

Brooklyn is pale, gaping at me as if I’m not real. My heart pounds in my chest and I want to touch her, but she looks completely terrified.

Can't blame her for that.

“What are you doing here?” Her voice is strangled, hushed.

“Baby, we need to talk. I need to tell you some things. Please don’t be scared.” I step toward her, she steps back. I don't want to hurt you, not this time.

Carissa hugs me tighter, and I kiss her cheek. “Daddy, where did you go?”

I swallow. Brooklyn didn’t tell her. I want to thank her. It gives me hope to know she didn’t bad mouth me to our daughter.

“I had to go away for a bit, but I’m back now.”

“Are you going to stay?”

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such an intense trilogy! Yes, read them in order.
This ending is perfection. No spoilers so I won't say any more than that. Just read it!

View all my reviews

Title: Untwist
Series: The Unbound Trilogy, Book 3
Author: Kathy Coopmans
Genre: Contemporary Romance

I waited ten years to grasp hold of a woman I knew was too good to be mine.

Back then, I had failed her. But I knew, somehow, someway, unknowingly to her, I’d find a way to make it up to her.

All the years in between, I watched her from afar. Keeping her safe, protecting her from the shadows that crept in the deep, dark of the night.

Then, out of the blue, she unraveled me with one sweep of her innocent little tongue.

The woman drew me straight toward all her light.

Blinding.

Intoxicatingly.

Mine.

It didn’t take long for me to come undone. Fall in love and change the course of my life.

Ellie Wynn had untwisted me from leading a lifestyle that should have never been mine.

Then fate gave us a crash course about how not all good things come to those who wait.

I’d failed her once again.

This time, her life is on the line.

I’m strung up because of it. I’m tumbling down because I should have known, the shadow that lurked in the night would steal her from me, in a blink of an eye.

And, now, I’m left to wonder how much can a person take before they break?

Once when I was a little girl, I dreamt that my dad painted our house pink because he wanted the whole city to know that inside the castle, lived his princess and his queen.

There were thick vines covered in bluebonnets that rose up from the ground and went past my bedroom window ending somewhere in the bright blue sky.

Below on the green grass stood my prince. I couldn’t see his face; I only knew he was someday going to climb up, and we were going to live happily ever after just like all the movies I watched with my mom and dad.

When I woke, I knew our house wasn’t pink, and I knew the man that stood there waiting for me wasn’t real. I pretended he was, and even though I thought boys were yucky, I remember telling my mom about the dream. She didn’t laugh and tell me it wasn’t real. She told me seeing was believing. She said children have a vibrant imagination and mine could be whatever I wanted it to be.

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to be. I only knew someday I wanted to be a mother.

I wanted someone to love me the way my dad loved my mom. So, I used my imagination, and I pretended and daydreamed as most little girls do. Sometimes, my dreams came vividly alive while I slept. Others would occur at random, like the times when my parents and I would lie in the field, surrounded by bluebonnets and gaze at the stars.

In this dream I’m having now, I’m hopelessly in love with a man with dark brown hair and the greenest eyes. A love like ours wasn’t a conventional type of love, but it’s our love, and it came on quickly. Beautiful to me, and everlasting.

In my dream, I’m holding a baby, and this man was holding me as we stared down at our unexpected miracle. I couldn’t tell if it was a girl or a boy. I couldn’t even see its face. I only knew it was a part of me and a part of him. Its heartbeat vibrant and steady. It has ten fingers, ten toes, and a head full of hair the same color as the man. It was perfect, it was healthy, and it was very much alive.

In my dream, there wasn’t a monster holding a gun; there were only beauty and peace and a whispering breeze of calm. In my dream, my parents are alive. My mother knew who I was, and my father, he wasn’t lost in his sea of pain.

I gasp, choking on my saliva, spitting it out and feeling it dribble down my chin as my dream switches directions. The gears start shifting. They grind making an awful noise, and my life swerves, spinning out of control. I come to a dead stop, ending with my worst nightmare in front of me.

A hallucination that can’t be real.

Unpredictable and volatile.

I blink and close my eyes several times to clear the fog. I need to see my baby’s face instead of the monster.

I open them slowly, to find my baby is gone. Sweat drips down my temples; dread surrounds me because as my hands frantically search for my child, it’s then I realize the man holding me isn’t the man I love, it’s the monster.

He’s found me.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Right? What if he’s my lover? What if he’s my enemy?

Secrets, double lives, and a hidden agenda collide with hope, humor, and adventure as the passion between two star-crossed lovers ignites.

Hawk is a biker driven by a singular purpose, fueled by an all-consuming need. A need for vengeance. He’s spent the last four years planning his retaliation, and it’s time to strike; it’s time to annihilate his enemy.

Zoe has one rule in life: no regrets. She lives on the edge and is willing to risk everything for her crusade. A crusade for justice. She’s spent the last four years on a crime spree of epic proportions, all for the good of the cause. All to destroy her enemy.

Escalating war consumes the underworld of Broadwater Bay, an underworld where Hawk and Zoe live on opposite sides, behind enemy lines. Will they be able to trust each other long enough to discover that they have the same enemy?

Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Or is it lover? Or is it another enemy?

Before I can second guess myself, my right hand slides to the small of my back, fingertips brushing along the rough grip as I latch onto my Glock. Whipping my arm around and bringing my other hand up to stabilize the butt, I aim my weapon square at the chest of the man who wears the colors of my sworn enemies.

"Yep, you got balls, and you're stupid." He laughs at me.

Laughs!

"You think this is a joke?" I challenge him.

"You tell me, Princess. When it comes down to it, do you really have it in you to pull the trigger?" the biker asks, seeming to be completely at ease as he stares down the barrel of my gun.

"Do you really want to find out?" I bluff.

"Gotta say, the idea of taking another bullet isn't top of my to-do list; it hurts like a bitch."

"I know." The words of agreement escape my mouth.

The biker's eyes widen for a fraction of a second before his mask of amusement settles back into place.

"The recovery though"—he sends me an enigmatic grin—"let's just say the girls around here are fuckin' good at taking care of a man who's been injured in the line of duty, almost makes it worth it."

It's taking everything in me to keep a steady hand, keep the steel in my eyes, hold my ground, and I'm doing it. So why is this guy treating me like a joke?

It takes less than ten seconds before I receive my answer.

Movement shifts across my peripheral vision. I don't take my eyes off my target, not for a second, but I don't need Kenzi's superpower to tell me that at least five people, possibly six, are moving around me and taking position.

Two men step into my direct line of sight. One of them trains a gun on me. My eyes stare down the barrel and then to the man aiming it. He's got a jagged scar running down the side of his face. Starting at his hairline, it bisects his right eyebrow, stopping there, and picking up again on his cheekbone, then it swoops down and outward across his cheek all the way to his jawline. It's mesmerizing in its beauty, and more terrifying than the weapon the man holds.

Instinctively, I know he's the least dangerous of the two men who now flank the hulk on the bike. The second man is unarmed, but his presence sends chills down my spine. He levels me with an icy stare, which holds me immobile.

"Venom, nice of you to join the party." The man on the bike grins up at the lethal biker who's taken position on his left. "Have you met Zoe? She's got spunk. I think I'm a little jealous of Hawk."

Ivy Lucas writes romantic suspense novels that feature a healthy dash of humor, kickass heroines, and hot alpha men. She is a dreamer, professional reality-escape-artist, and has a serious coffee addiction.

Ivy has always been obsessed with reading, and when she didn’t have her face buried in a book, which was often because she devoured them, she would make up her own stories to fill the void. Ivy’s imagination is a crazy and dangerous place to be, even for her independent, sassy female characters. It’s also the best place to meet sexy men who have that panty-dropping, anti-hero thing going on.

A woman of the world, Ivy was born in Holland, grew up in New Zealand, and spent a year living in Europe when she was a teenager. She traveled to Australia not long after finishing school for a one-year working holiday and never left. She now lives in sunny Queensland with her soul mate, their two kids, and a fluffy white cat.

Over the years Ivy has been a jack of all trades and master of none - until the day she decided to write down one of those stories she had floating around in her head. That was when she realized her passion for books was about more than just reading them. She had stories to tell and they were demanding to be told.

Blurb: One Prince. One Witch. One Fate.

The upheaval in my life began the moment a prince stumbled into my house and asked me to read his fortune. Any other night, I might have made an excuse to get him to leave, but this was no normal visit. My fingers prickled to touch him. So, I granted his request by handing him a single wishbone. When he snapped it, the wish â€¦ bled.

Hearing me suck in a shocked breath, he asked what it meant. Such an ominous omen could only mean one thing: his death was imminent. Fate revealed that he wouldnâ€™t die of natural causes. Someone wanted him dead. Stunned by the revelation, the man I now knew as Prince Tauren disappeared into a night I feared he wouldnâ€™t survive. The following day, I received an invitation to the castle. While it seemed the prince believed I could intervene and uncover who was plotting his death, his motives didnâ€™t stop there. I was being summoned to join twelve other women in vying for the opportunity to be his wife and future queen.

Going could mean jeopardizing my plans to reclaim my heritage and resurrect the House of Fate. But staying would guarantee Taurenâ€™s death, and the blood of his wish would be on my hands.

A two-hundred-year-old curse. A tangled thread of mental illness. A growing list of Ross family women dying young. The house where it all began, Desolate Ridge, holds all the secrets.

Abandoned at a hospital when she was only three years old, Aubrey Ross grew up as a ward of the state, passed from one foster family to the next. Having endured years of abuse and neglect, she’s become hardened to the world around her.

Hush, Now Forget by Mary Gray & Cammie Larsen

0 Comments

I L-O-V-E this series from Mary Gray and Cammie Larsen. I am a huge fan of the CW series, Supernatural, and this series is in that vein. I devoured Book 1 and dove into Book 2 but unfortunately I haven't finished in time to delve into the final book of the trilogy. So, there will be a follow up post on the trilogy itself soon! ~ Lynn

No one will tell Eva and Frost the truth about the Blurred Ones. Not their hunter friend, and definitely not the parentals. Maybe it’s because Frost spent time in a psychiatric ward and Eva never ceases to think with her hormones. So, when the girls see an opportunity to meet Albert Knox, the most infamous Blurred One of all, they lie about their true plans and head out on their field trip to San Antonio.

When the sisters get to town, though, a ghost woman keeps attacking them in their hotel room, and they end up getting one of their classmates killed. Eva thinks she can use her feminine wiles to woo Knox, but he has a couple of more minions than they thought—and she ends up getting tossed through the window. If the sisters and their newfound hunter friends don’t take down Knox soon, he’ll permanently attach himself to Eva in a binding ritual.

My Review

Calling all Supernatural (TV Show) fans! You have to check out this amazing series. It took me 2 days to read this book but only because I had to sleep and work. Hush, Now Forget is such a fast paced story that incorporates high school, family drama, romance, ghosts, demons, angels, and hunters into a thrilling page turner! It blends mystery and spookiness flawlessly. And the title is freaking brilliant! You'll get it once you read it. I cannot wait to dive into Book 2!

Audiobook Review ~ Murder is a Debate by Brandy Nacole

10/31/2019

2 Comments

Nora and her two best friends, Liv and Nina, aren’t like most people. Nora is the private school kid; the rich girl, though everyone hates her. Liv and Nina attend the run-down public school on the opposite side of town where the football team is a solid two and the art department was shut down due to funding. Their worlds should have never collided, but they had one common factor that brought them together, murder.

In an online mystery chat room, the three girls meet and decide to form The Murder Club. Each week one of the girls must come up with a murder scenario for the other two to solve. It’s fun. It’s active. It’s also deadly.

When one of Nora’s classmates ends up dead, she’s suspicious of her new friends. His death mirrors the very same scenario Nora came up with in their previous meeting. As clues emerge, pointing more definitively at the members of the Murder Club, Nora begins digging for her own clues, bringing fantasy to reality. Could Liv and Nina be involved, and if so why?

They were all curious, but the question is, was one of them too curious?

My Review

Murder is a Debate is my first foray into the mind of Author Brandy Nacole. This YA murder mystery was souch more than I expected. It is about personal and family growth. Finding your place in your friends and learning who is really your friend. And that ending! I was honestly surprised by the "who done it."

This is a well written, complex story filled with twists, turns, and complications. I will definitely be checking out other books written by Brandy Nacole.

The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life. That final scene was quite intense and she nailed it!
