His Best Mistake by Lucy King is NOT A Mistake at All but a Great Read

This is the first time for me to read a book by this author and it is the first book in this series as well. So score. I love finding new authors to stalk and this one is one I will be reading for days to come. In this book we have lots of misunderstanding and not because of the characters involved mostly (wink). One of the reasons I enjoyed this book was it had lots of hidden snarky humor amongst the writing and it made for a really good read.

We have boy seeks out girl who is hiding away. Girl is hiding not because she did something but she does feel like she did. Sparks fly ...OH do they fly. Boy's sibling is MAD as a WET HEN! Life gets in the way.... Yes you need to figure out this crazy reviewer. But alias I never give away a storyline but I will tell you this book is GOOD. It had me turning my kindle from the start. I had me already looking for the date for the next book in this series and ordering it. Hummmm I am also looking for MORE MORE MORE from this author. So my opinion is to get your a copy of this book, glass of wine and sit a spell. You will NOT be disappointed.

You can find it on Barnes & Nobles ,Google, and iTunes or iBooks.

Here is a wee more about this Tule Publishing Group book....

His Best Mistake by Lucy King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Now this is one book I CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND! In fact let me say...ONE Click this book and this author is now going on my one click list. I am looking forward to the second book in this series with baited breath and that I am telling you before I tell you anything at all about the story. I am story there.

We begin this book with a girl, a lady who is very upset with herself. I will let her share with you all the ins and outs and whys...but it all goes back to a guy. Then we get to meet Jack. OH handsome, sure of himself, but messed up as all get out JACK. Who comes to Scotland to mess up the life of this beautiful lady who is already messed up enough. Then we have Cora, who we see a wee bit in this book. She is a BIG part of this book but the reason the book is written. HER book is the second book which I talked about earlier titled "Her Forbidden Warrior (The Maclean Family Legacy Book 2)" And yes you can pre-order, which I did so no worries it is on your device waiting for you.

Cora and Jack are siblings and he is a good big brother so he seeks out Stella to set the record straight and in all true romance and really good book forms you can guess what happens next...or maybe you should just grab a copy of His Best Mistake and read it for yourself. If you are like me, you will fall in love with this family too.

Starting The New Year Our Right By Reading ~

I hit the ground running or rather I laid in the bed reading as the ball dropped to signal it was midnight in New York City. Of course that meant I still had an entire ~nother  hour to read my kindle while Marty played  dolls with Zoe and danced to the music they listened to on the tv. I guess one could say I zone out while reading but in all honestly being late life deaf does have it advantages when all I want to do is get lost in my book and believe me on New Years Eve I was not in Grapevine, TX .... My mind and soul was in Marietta, Montana. It was celebrating at the Graff and pretending I was drinking some of Sage's hot chocolate while taking a stroll down Main Street. Of course we did have the freezing cold temperatures here so at least it felt like I was inside the book I just completed right not to long after midnight. A Mistletoe Kiss by Jennifer Faye is my first read of 2018. Yes, I started it in 2017 but completed in the new year.  My review is below...

A Mistletoe Kiss by Jennifer Faye
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Marietta, Montana is a wonderful place to spend New Years Eve. Even if it is only a fictional town and through a book. Getting lost in this book, when it is cold outside (which is fun since it matches the snowy cold weather in Marietta) made for a delightful time as I escaped once again to one of my favorite fictional places in the states. Ms Faye once again captured my attention with her attention to details and as the characters came to life on the pages of my kindle.

I have to say it it was so funny how it brought back memories of my small college town to me with many of the issues in the book. Suzanna bless her heart, was left at the altar by ~no neck then dumped by her boyfriend. "Doomed to be an old maid at 30." Sounds very familiar to me. Then we have the hunka hunka burning love who moves in next door Jake Hamilton. Retired from the Army and working with an old high school friend of her's... Now again small town, single women you can just imagine what happens to this poor good looking man as he walks thru the Piggly Wiggly. ( oh they do not call it that there). YEP Oh and yes they do have their own version of phone tree. You know what that is right. ALL towns and meddling places have it. One person tells you something and it goes to the next and so on and so forth... You know like the game we played when we were kids. "telephone".
This book is really good. It had me laughing at times and other times I was going yep, yes did this author look at my diary or something. Once again another fun read from Marietta and yes you can read this any time of the year!

 Then I decided to shake things up a bit and head into outer space with C.J. Scarlett's Christmas Bride. I am not normally one to go the "space thing" unless it is Star Wars and now that Carrie Fisher has passed one I might not ever see another Star Wars movie either... But this book I really enjoyed it. Review will follow... That was New Year's Day (Hey No good Football Games on during the day then OU just messed it up for me.)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am not normally a fan of scifi but but I went into this book with open eyes and arms one could say and I really was surprised at house much I liked this book. IN fact dare I say ...yes I will say I plan to back up and read more of the books. I have read one of the books in the past but I think I need to read more of these. It was a good read that kept me tied to my kindle from the first page to the end. The imagery was well written and I wanted to sit at my sewing machine and sew creatures to fit in this amazing world. Yes. I def will be reading more of CJ Scarlett's works if only for the inspiration.

Waxing Moon by Sarah L Steven was a really good paranormal shapeshifter romance yes action packed book. It is different than most and that is one of the reasons I decided to tell you all about it.

Waxing Moon by Sarah E. Stevens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Definitely Recommend Read.... unique take on paranormal activity....

This is the second book in this series. I hope there is another book to tell us more about Julie, and Carson's life after this. I really enjoyed reading a different slant on the paranormal community. Adding salamanders to the mix made for quite an interesting read. As I was reading this book , I kept wanting to take different characters off into certain relationships myself... wonder if the author will take them there herself. Hope so. Well written and detailed. With a unique slant on paranormal. Definitely recommend this one.

So as the first week of this new year winds down I have  read at least one book a day. Some more than a book. Working on that White House book right now...boy that is SLOW going on that one. But working my way thru it.  I will review that red/white/blue and oh so orange thing at a later date.

What is it about Duo Writers but they just Seems to be some of the Best Out There...

What a great way to Kick OFF 2018 than with two Kick Ass books written by two duo writing teams. I want to share with you my reviews of both of these and invite you to experience them for yourselves. Both books are only on Amazon at the moment because they are offered in Kindle Unlimited program.

The first book we are going a bit dark and  deep with Anna's Dress written by the team of London Casey and Jaxon Kidman.

Anna's Dress: a heart-wrenching second chance romance story that will make you believe in true love by London Casey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One of the best books I have read.

This was one of those books that the moment I turned a few ages in my kindle ,I just knew I would been stuck there until I completed the entire book. It grabbed me from the get go and as me by the throat the entire ride. This is one of those reads that makes you scratch your head and wonder , how in the world do they write books like they do?

For one this this story could easily have been taken taken from my high school. Reminds me of a small southern town. Two how do two people write write so seamless as one? This book is well written and thought provoking. It has me stuck to me kindle like glue..
Two sisters as different as can be attracted to the same boy. Sounds like a soap opera right or at least a made for tv movie. Sadly this was one sister grabbed hold of this boy and held on tight and not in a good way nor for a good reason he grasp her back. You have to read this book to see if you followed the path that I did as you read it. Did you read the same conclusions before the truth was came out?

I can't wait to read what they give us next. This writing pair just continues to grow and grow...WOW.

********************************************************************************

 Next we will lighten it up with Chore Play  by the writing team known as Piper Rayne. These gals sure know how to not only write a great book but a sexy one at that. I have been waiting for Jaggar's book for a while and made me so happy with this book. I do not know where they get their ideas from but please someone keep feeding them their delish chocolates and wine so we can continue to enjoy the delights from Climax Cove and Unicorn Co#ks for years to come.


  Chore Play by Piper Rayne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So happy to finally see what makes him tick..tock...Really Good Read

Jaggar and Quinn's book was every bit what I imagined and more than I had hoped or. The writing team of Piper Rayne never ceases to amaze me with their ability to write a book so smoothly as if they were one person writing. We get a well told story, while at the same time we get to catch up with some of our favorite characters from other books. We make new friends and learn more about some characters mentioned in passing in other books. Having read all of the books written by this duo, I can't wait for the next series ( set in the Winter Games in Korea) to hit my kindle.

Whiskey Secrets...The Start of Something New Continues The Familiar Family of Ink

What a way to start a new year off right. Author Carrie Ann Ryan once again has us in where she wants us and that is now moving with her to a new city, with a new group of friends and family to enjoy life with the Collins family. Tabby's family FINALLY we are getting to know them and see the ins and outs of what makes her who she is from her "la familia" side. This is the story of Dare her older brother. Not sure if you remember but Dare (with a cute son)  was a cop and a darn (not Dare) good one until something happen. Now he owns and runs the bar and restaurant side of the family business. His folks run and operate the hotel side. Well, they did until they decided to bring in a innkeeper to upgrade the hotel and run it. OOPS, they did not run this by Dare nor the other kids. AND the hotel and bar/restaurant share a building. To make matters worse there is a spark between the two ...
Dare they act on it?




Whiskey Secrets by Carrie Ann Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great start to a new 5 star series

I am always excited to read a new book from this author. Rarely if ever does she disappoint me and she certainly did not in the case of Whiskey Secrets. To start out a new series is always a scary thing for both the author and reader alike, but Carrie Anne Ryan gives us just enough familiar characters from her Montgomery Ink series ( Tabby the sister to Dare is engaged to one) to make us feel right at home.
The storylines are both believable and current. Plus it helps the Dare and Kenzie's chemistry burns so hawt. This book is yet again another 5 star read for this one-click author.

Newest Hot Read from Cynthia Dane Never Have We Ever

Never Have We Ever: A Betrothed Novel by Cynthia Dane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I started reading this book I went and looked to make sure I was really remembering that this was the author Cynthia Dane, as it was so different in style from any of her other books I have read. Don't get me wrong not in a bad way at all but different in a good way. It took me a wee bit to get use to the dual points of view I guess you would call it but once I did it flowed for me.

We have a couple one French and German neither speech's the other's language and they are in an arranged marriage. Can you imagine. WOW does this make for wonderful reading. It does I promise you it does. If yo have ever read one of Cynthia Dane's books you know that this author writes books that can melt ice caps and let me tell you this book turns a polar bear brown. OH MY I certainly hope there is more to this series like the next ten years or maybe we will get her sister and the Irishman's story.

I feel like Miracle on Chance Ave was written just for Me...Thank You Jane Porter!!!

Miracle on Chance Avenue by Jane Porter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me begin my saying if you have never read any of the books based in this wonderful fictional town, what are you waiting on? Now on to this book that I personally have been waiting on for quite a while now. I just was not sure which of the authors was going to tell me his story... and I sure did not realize that Rory's story would be so much full of life and even pain that is in there. It explain so much that I had wondered. (Yes I am what many would call a Tuligan) and I have adopted Marietta as my hometown. Jane Porter is the perfect author to give us this story for so many reasons. Least of which she explains on the opening page of the book in her dedication to the readers. WoW she understands...she truly understand how much Marietta means to use the readers. Now...back to Rory and Sadie's story.

Rory Douglas is from Marietta but left as soon as he could chasing demons from his past via the rodeo. Sadie Mann chased demons her own way and I think folks really didn't realize it at all. She followed Rory from rodeo to rodeo not quite a buckle bunny but not a friend either. Wanting more but to afraid to ask for it. He say her there but not there.... As life in the rodeo goes it is a hard life and Rory was in the rodeo for a long time. He came back to Marietta to rest and look at some property. Little did he know but his rodeo angel happen to live in town.
This is one of those books that touched me long and hard. It had the right amount of humor * yep there was some in it) and pain as well. There were times I simply sat and shook my head at both characters,and always continued reading more and more. This is a book that I will read more than once and i cried several times while reading it. The author, Jane Porter knows her readers and she writes for us. It's like she sits beside us and listens in as we talk and say what we want to see in characters and places in this fictional town. I invite you to explore this town. Get lost in it's countryside or visit's Sage's Chocolate shop... head up to Copper Mountain for a hike, or maybe just maybe take a short ride on horseback with a cowboy. You will not be disappointed .

Prepare Yourself and PreOrder Velvet & Vows by Stacy Eaton... Mark off some time to read this book during the holidays.

I know that this book does not officially hit the shelves or your ebooks until the 23rd but I was one of the lucky few and got my hand on an advance copy to read last week. I say lucky as OH MY Goodness you can see from my review why I think this way. If you have never read a single Stacy Eaton book I would tell you that you are missing out on an experience beyond measure. This is an author that you can tell has lived life. She writes her books as she has life a life full of experience and it shows in her stories. They are so well rounded and full..not shallow and just there to be there. I highly recommend this book. Sadly it IS the last book based in this wonderful town but never fear if i know this author she will be catching us up with our favorite families from Celebration from time to time in other books as they overlap or who knows maybe she will give us a novella a time or two as they creep into her head demanding that they be written. Take a peek at my review and see why I believe that Velvet & Bows is the best of the Celebration books yet. (yes you could actually start the series here and work backwards too.)


Velvet & Vows by Stacy Eaton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not sure why Goodreads says it only has 42 pages...it has way more and believe me from page 1 to the very last page it has you grasping each and every word and begging the author to please not end this series.
Let me begin by saying I started reading the Celebration series when there books Tears to Cheer (the second book in the Celebration series) was published ,I quickly devoured both books and could not get each book soon enough. Each book grew and grew as the town blossomed into one big and happy family ...with us the readers.
Why am i telling you this in a review? Well this is the last book in the Celebration series ( But hey don't worry we will still catch up with our friends I am sure in more books as there is a cross over series and our author will be sure to sneak them in for us to see from time to time.) And this book knows all and sees all .... YEP it is one of THOSE books that is just a well rounded and very good book. IT has it all. We get answers to questions we forgot we had (or a least I forgot i had) and we got romance and romance and OH some sweet romance. We got mystery as only Stacy Eaton can give us and YES we got some craziness too....This IS Celebration right.
So I Invite you to come along and say good bye or maybe hello to a few folks.
Stacy Eaton thank you for giving us a town we can all relate to and wish we could live in. We look forward to moving a little bit down the road and starting all over again in a kinky new way.
