Checking out the Books in 2019

OMG When I finally got the Okay to read again on Jan 10 I cranked up the kindle and went to town. I thought I would be reading non stop but it has not been that way because yes my yes do get a wee bit strained. But I have read 30 books and reviewed 25...need to get the last 5 written up. Before I get off of me and on to the wonderful book I want to share with you all, let me just say Thank you to the wonderful and amazing authors who share of themselves with all of us. I always knew that reading helped me. I use reading to help with my depression as well as my memory issues and other issues related to multiple strokes and continuing seizures. Reading books daily help to keep my brain functioning and strong. What is really funny to many people is I am dyslexic and yes I read anywhere from 300- 500 books a year. Having to stop reading because of my eye surgeries was one of the hardest things I think I have ever done. It was harder than when I stopped smoking. YES! I missed it, not only from the habit, but from my memory issues. ASK my family. so thank you authors for keeping my brain healthy but more than that thank you for the laughs (todays book OH MY GIDDY AUNT!) and the romance.  So, Enough about me lets talk books in 2019.

If you want to Laugh and have a great read at the same time I highly suggest picking up
Pippa Grant's Charming as Puck. If you have never read any of her other books you are really missing out on quite an experience on fun, laughter and yes even a quirky romance. And if you are on Facebook and like to be a part of weird and yes a wee bit of sexy fun women join in her Facebook group The Pipsquad.

Charming as Puck by Pippa Grant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goal! Score! Nick and Kami got their story Finally and it is "moorvelous". If you do not know who Nick Murphy is, well he is one of the hockey players mentioned many times in previous books...If you have read any of author Pippa Grant's books. Ya Nick is Felicity Are's wife's big brother... does that right some bells? If you were around back during the dickcookie episode then you will remember that Nick loves to play practical jokes and even more so you do not mess with someone he loves, like his sister.
Then we have Kami Oakley, his friend with benefits and his sister's best friend (yep they went there). Kami has had a crush on him since forever. Okay this is all nothing new if you have read past books and they were messing around in them. This book gets really good really fast. We get to meet a cow-dog thank you to the pranks!!! oh my stars how in the world can one man be so clueless. I can truthfully say that the cow-dog has more sense and knows that Kami has been in love with Nick since high school. Men right? But this book is not just about Nick and Kami oh nope we get all our favorite Copper Valley Thrusters.... I mean what would it be with our the twins and yes we need to hear from Joey and Felicity right?
This book had me laughing so hard I spilled my coffee all over my bed. Because yes I was up reading it the moment it hit my kindle. Not sure how our author is going to top this one. It is so much fun and yes we have romance to boot!

Another really good read but one that is on the erotic side is from one of my favorite authors Sierra Cartwright . This one I have passed off to my hubs to read as soon as I finished it. So he has started it right now. I can't wait to hear what he thinks about it. He is a slow reader but I will let you know when he checks in.


His to Claim by Sierra Cartwright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoy reading Sierra Cartwright books and i always pass them off to my husband to read after I read them as well. Mason goes a charity BDSM auction that he really did not want to be at. Hannah has come from Texas to New Orleans to take part in her first slave auction. Fate... Karma... destiny. This book moves at a really good pace for me as a reader. The chemistry sizzles and POPs like a whip whizzing through the air. The scenes are so well written i can see them like I am there myself. Snap, Crackle, DragonTail, Smack!

The Best Book of the Year..Hands Down Anywhere Everywhere. Nobody Said It'd Be Easy

Last week I was so blessed to be able to read an advanced copy of a book by the author Patty Blount titled Nobody Said It'd Be Easy. It was the first time I have read any books by this author and let me say she simply blew me away. I saw the cover  and it grabbed my attention.

And then teasers from the book. OH MY...they wet my appetite for more.

But the book itself.. From Cover to Cover is it is the #1 Best Book that I have read this year, from any author, any publisher, any genre'. This is this the book to beat. And i look forward to more books from Author Patty Blount!




Nobody Said It'd Be Easy by Patty Blount
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh My Giddy Aunt this book had me from the cover alone! Then I cracked it open and started reading and I was spellbound by Super Gabe, his 4 precious girls and Lia the Lovely Lady. This is the first book I have read by author Patty Blount and I am hoping she will write more books along this line in the future. Life is not all sunshine and roses and yes bad things do happen to good people. Death sadly comes a knocking when people least expect it. It is what the people who are left behind do with themselves that really show their character and their true spirit. A widowed father of 4 Gabe quits his higher paying job, becomes a super of a set of apartments away from where he used to live with his wife after she passes unexpectedly. He does this so he can be home to raise those young children while working from home. WoW. Look at the cover and that is so much the book.
Then we have Lia or Amelia a divorced self employed woman who moves into the complex and she turns his work upside down and inside out. BUT truth be told he does the same thing to her. Life is not smooth sailing once she moves in and feels the sparks from day one. OH no not at all. Just because the cute main can walk around with hair clips and painted nails carrying a baby on his hip it doesn't mean a single thing now does it. No it doesn't. One has to fight pre-teens, children with illnesses , self destruction and so much more. I invite you to meet the Iver family and see for yourself why Nobody Said I'd Be Easy.

My Review of the Knocked Up Plan

The Knocked Up Plan by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heart, Heat, Humor and a Great Read

OMG what a great book to read! It was a really well written book based on a very unique idea. I laughed so hard in parts and I can't wait to read more books based on other characters.

Your clock is ticking but you can't seem to find "love". You work at for a company that talks all the time about love and sex and love. Then all of a sudden it hits you. HIM!

Heart, Heat, Humor and Good Reads all things that made this book a 5 star read.

An Adult Fairy Tale Review of Cinderella of 6th Ave.

Cinderella of 6th Ave: & Captain Charming by Alice May Ball
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Adult Sized Fairy Tale

Imagine Cinderella in today's world. She would be staying in a high rise condo with her step sisters... or maybe just one of them. How about the Prince in the Fairy tale? He would definitely have to be an Alpha male..and man oh man was Jagger one hot as all get out Alpha Male or should I say "Captain".

Cinderella on 6th Ave was a very interesting read. I loved the way that author Alice May Bell used hints of the Cinderella fairy retake throughout this story. The use of a story within a story in this book was wonderful as well.
5 stars for this book and the bonus stories some I had not read gave me added books to read which for me is always a win-win.

Kiss Me in the Moonlight Review

Kiss Me in the Moonlight by Lindzee Armstrong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really love Lindzee Armstrong's books, she has a great mix of different styles in different books.
This book is a Romantic Mystery and I could see it as a show on the Hallmark Mystery channel.

Paige is spending the summer in Europe as tour guide for groups of teenagers. She is one of 4 young adults leading the tours. One of the replacement guides ends up being her ex. Oh boy does this prove to be a wild a crazy ride for all involved. Nick is a spy for the US government, although he is on suspension because his last mission went south.

You have to read Kiss Me in the Moonlight to see why I am writing Hallmark to beg they make is book into a made of tv movie. OH yes!

Bryce 

I'm stuck as the Best Man in my best friend's wedding and I'd do anything to get out of it. I know the Maid of Honor is going to be a some cheap skank and I'll be trapped with her all weekend. 

F**k, I guess it doesn't matter. It's not like I need to settle down with anyone any time soon. What's more important than my freedom? 

Except when I see her, all I can think of is my hard c**k and how I can make it go away. She's got a smart-mouth and is such a man-hater. 

I don't need her. What the f**k is happening? 

I can't get her body out of my mind, and her spunky temper isn't enough to scare me off. 

Susie 

I don't need a man in my life. Especially not the stuffy entitled prick I'm bound to meet at this in-your-face, extravagant wedding. 

I meet him, and my determination flies out the window - along with my sense of shame. What am I doing, teasing him like that? I've never been easy, but all of a sudden I'm acting like the cheapest date in town. 

He thinks he can just show up at my place and I'll fall into his arms. Well, I've got a surprise for him too. 

He tries to convince me that he's worth my effort, my sacrifice. 

I don't want to believe him. If only I could stop myself. 

***For a limited time only, get a copy of Emma Fawkes' first novel, Unbroken included with this ebook! The characters in Hell Bent were introduced in Unbroken, although both novels can be read independently of each other, as stand-alone books with their own happily-ever-after endings an NO cliffhangers.

 My Review: WoW this is a really really good book. I am not really much on the stepbrother books but this is one That is REALLY GOOD!!! Mainly because the stepbrother part is not the main focus of the book LOL

Cam and Milly are step siblings are getting married and their best man and maid of honor have yet to meet each other. Milly and Suzie became fast friends in the 6th grade and carried on thru Milly's cancer scare and now they are both nurses. 

Cam and Bryce served together over seas and now Bryce is state side due to injures that keep him from active duty. When he learns he has to escort the maid of honor he assumes she is either old or a dog and nick names her "cream puff". Little does he know they will end up with a great deal in common the least is chemistry.

This is one very good read! Once I picked it up I could not put it down. I originally received this book as an ARC for an honest review and then I purchased the book to have in my book collection. 6 star read!
