Preston’s Honor

A Sign Of Love Novel – Inspired by Gemini

By Mia Sheridan

Buy: Amazon

Synopsis

There were two brothers—identical twins—and though I loved them both, my soul belonged to only one.

Annalia Del Valle has loved Preston Sawyer all her life. The daughter of an impoverished migrant farmworker, she grew up as an outcast in what was no more than a tiny, cooped up shack in California’s Central Valley. But her heart found freedom in the land, in the wide-open spaces of Sawyer Farm, and in the boys who were her only friends.

Preston has yearned for Annalia since he was a boy. But a sense of honor kept him from pursuing her until he’s unable to hold back any longer and their worlds—and bodies—collide one hot summer night. A night that sets off a chain of events that will alter their lives forever.

Now Annalia is back in town after disappearing without a trace for six long months. Determined to reclaim her heart, her life, and the baby she left behind—the son who was created in a moment of lust and love and pent-up yearning.

Preston has survived grief, a ravaging drought, and the despair of heartache, but he’s not sure he can survive Annalia again. And he might be unwilling to try. Will pride and bitterness keep him from the one thing he’s always longed for?

How do you heal what is irreparably broken? How do you forgive that which is unforgivable? How do you discover that real honor comes not from circumstance, but from the place deep in our hearts where truth resides? And how do you move beyond the wounds of the past to discover that some loves are as solid as the ground beneath your feet, and as enduring as the earth itself?

THIS IS A STAND-ALONE SIGN OF LOVE NOVEL, INSPIRED BY GEMINI. New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

Tracey’s Review

This was the idyllic dream I’d never imagined possible. This wasn’t small. This was where my heart had always yearned to be.

Without fail, every single time, with every single one of her books, Mia Sheridan owns another piece of my heart. She writes with such love and passion, birthing characters and their stories that touch the heart and create a world that it is impossible not to lose yourself in.

Mia drew me in completely with this story of love in its many forms. I say this after reading each of her books, but PRESTON’S HONOR is very near the top of my favorite of her works (that position still goes to KYLAND, but this one is a very close second). It is written with such love and compassion, with such an understanding of what it means to feel like an outsider, and how healing love can be.

I think that one of the reasons that Lia is so drawn to Preston and Cole is the unconditional acceptance and love that she feels from them, something lacking in the only other relationship that she has, with her mother. There is an openness to the boys, and, as two sides of the same coin, they meet the different needs for love, friendship, and companionship that Lia is thirsty for. Any separation, any smallness that she feels is of her own making, because of the distance that she feels between her station in life and theirs.

I am absolutely in love with Preston Sawyer. This man, from the time that he can remember, has seen something in Lia that he recognizes as his. His brother, Cole, is his other half, but Lia is his true north, and nothing, not time, not distance, not the fact that she may belong to his own brother, can dim the love that he has for her. And, while he is still just a man, and makes mistakes like we all do, the beauty of Preston is his willingness to learn, to open himself up again and give Lia all of himself.

Lia is just lovely. She has done whatever she’s had to do to make life better for her mother and herself, suffering the pain of living a life feeling ‘less than’ because of who and what she is. Lia thrives under the attention of the Sawyer boys because they offer her the thing that she yearns for, non-judgmental, fully accepting love. One of the things that I enjoyed most about Lia’s story, though, is seeing her emerge as a strong woman, a woman that becomes unafraid to ask for what she wants and needs, and offers the same to others.

There are those books that I pick up and enjoy reading, and those that I can’t put down. There’s just that little something different about the latter type, that certain something that draws me in and doesn’t let go. This is true of all of Mia’s books, but PRESTON’S HONOR touched my heart in a way that I will remember for a very long time, and I couldn’t recommend it more. This book is definitely one of my favorite reads of this year, and one that I would recommend to everyone. Add it to your TBR and take the time to savor it as soon as time allows. It will change you, and you will love it.

Michel’s Review

Mia Sheridan has once again stole a piece of my heart with her latest release, Preston’s Honor.  With each new book, Mia brings something new to the table that is not only a passionate romance but also a compassionate insight to life, love, family, and society.  As I read this novel I found that I was experiencing more than a romance, it was challenging my thoughts on human nature and showing me the other side of those thoughts.  It is truly a humble reading experience.

Lia has always been an outsider all of her life.  As a child of an illegal migrant worker, life has been one of poverty and constant struggle.  As a daughter conceived in violence, she has been a constant reminder to her mother of the evil that stole her hopes and dreams.  As a young girl looking at her small world, a farming community, every persons life seems brighter, livelier,and prosperous.  As a minority nationality she has experienced the small minded views that leave her feeling like she doesn’t quite fit in or measure up to the standards of the community.  Meeting the Sawyer twins irrevocably changes her life.  The Sawyer twins offer her friendship, acceptance, and unconditional love.  Each boy gives Lia something she desperately needs in her life.  Cole Sawyer gives her the courage to have hopes and dreams.  Preston Sawyer gives her unconditional love and stability.  The two boys would do anything for Lia because they both love the beautiful person that she is.  As they grow from childhood into young adulthood, the dynamics of their friendship change.  Both boys want her heart and know that only one can claim it.  How they handle the situation is something only twins, two half of a whole, could do.

As young adults, their lives are only beginning.  The Sawyer boys are off to college to create their bright futures.  Lia is also creating a better life for herself back at home.  She’s got a decent job, a better home, and is able to take care of her mother.  When the Sawyer boys return home for their father’s funeral, all of their lives change once again.  The dynamics of their relationship are challenged once again.

Great tragedies take Lia and Prseton’s life on a new path.  From the tragic mistakes to birth of their child, they are both an emotional mess. Not only are they struggling with heartache and loss, they are also battling their own emotional demons.  Mother Nature has also added her own wrath that could not only destroy their farm but ruin their community as well.  Lia and Preston’s world has imploded. Now they both have to come to terms with their world and own their realities.  They have to face the grief and pain in order to move forward. How they choose to handle those emotions is what is going to make them stronger individuals and more committed to their love for one another.

Mia Sheridan has once again delivered an outstanding book.

Wardrobe Malfunction

By Samantha Towle

 Free on Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author, Samantha Towle, comes a new standalone romantic comedy.

 

Vaughn West, Hollywood heartthrob, has been at the top of his game for years. He thinks he’s untouchable—until a betrayal brings him spiraling down. Now, everyone pities him, and if there’s one thing Vaughn hates, it’s pity.

 

After a few months of working his way through every available actress, pop star, model, and waitress in California, Vaughn needs to get his life back on track and focus on what he does best—making hit movies.

 

Charlotte Michaels is in love. Just not with one person.

Louis Vuitton…

Christian Dior…

Valentino…

Gucci…

And the list goes on.

 

Sadly, Charly’s limited bank account doesn’t allow her those luxuries, and the closest she gets are lucky finds in charity shops and working closely with some of those names in her job as a wardrobe assistant.

 

Now, Charly has landed the mother of all jobs—working on the new Vaughn West movie. Excited doesn’t even cut it.

 

Only things don’t go as planned, and it turns out that Vaughn is actually a jerk. A hot jerk, but a jerk nonetheless.

 

So, why do their clothes keep falling off whenever they’re around each other? And why can’t Charly keep her mind in the closet and off Vaughn?

 

Getting mixed up with a smart-mouthed, fashion-obsessed wardrobe assistant is the last thing Vaughn needs.

 

Getting mixed up with an arrogant, self-centered, obnoxious, jumped-up actor who has a lack of respect for fashion is the last thing Charly needs.

 

Things are about to get hot, dirty, and messy in Hollywood. Very messy. Especially if Charly’s closely guarded secret falls out of her closet.

Michel’s Review

Get ready to head to Hollywood with Samantha Towle in her latest book, Wardrobe Malfunction.  A sexy movie star romance sizzling behind the scenes rather than on the big screen.  You won’t want to miss this blockbuster release.

Hollywood heart throb Vaughn West has found himself in a bit of a mess.  After a disastrous interview while promoting his last movie left his co star with a bloody nose and his ex girlfriend with crocodile tears, he’s no longer the Hollywood heart throb but rather Hollywood’s bad boy.  His destructive behavior is ruining his chances of landing any A-list movie roles.  He’s going down fast until his agent steps in dangling a lead role with the industry’s hottest director and forces him to clean up his act really fast.  He needs this role to save his reputation and career.  His main focus is this movie.  He will let nothing get in his way of climbing back on top.  That is until there is a wardrobe malfunction that could ruin his chances of becoming a father or enjoying sex again.  His personal wardrobe specialist has stuck him where it really counts and his swimmers may be drowning.  Worse than that, the sexy wardrobe girl has caught his complete attention in a very bad way.  Either he’s going to die from his injury or die from blue balls because of her sassy boots and sexy bottom.  Her twerking in the wardrobe trailer isn’t helping.  What’s a guy to do?  According to her, he should wear a cocksock to help with his injury.  He thinks he needs to wear her.

Charlotte “Charlie” Michaels has landed the job of her dreams on a major movie set.  The biggest perk is that she’s going to be dressing Vaughn West, her fantasy man.  When she accidentally pins him rather than his suit, she can see her dream job floating down the river.  She’s going to have to prove she meant no bodily harm and make amends.

Thus begins the behind the scenes romance between Charlie and Vaughn.  They can’t keep their clothes on around each other.  They have to keep their shenanigans a secret to save Vaughn’s career.  Charlie is only going to be in Hollywood for a short time and then she will return back to her life in New York.  Their affair has an expiration date.  Neither one counted on falling in love.  Neither one counted on Charlie’s secret being the final straw that could ruin Vaughn’s career.  Hollywood is a fickle place, Vaughn’s star may be dying but his love for Charlie could mean it’s ultimate death.

This could be Vaughn’s greatest opportunity or his complete downfall.  Only he can decide how the scene plays out.

Wardrobe Malfunction by Samantha Towle was a delightful sexy movie star romance.  The humor made this book stand out among the movie star romance books on the market.  The intense chemistry between Vaughn and Charlie are what love scenes are all about.  I was entertained and thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Tempt Me tag line teaser

Excerpt

“I adore all of the women in my life,” he says. “I’d do anything for them.” He’s looking at me as he says it, and my heart flutters in my chest. But I’m not sure if he’s including me in that group, or if the hint of meaning I hear in his voice is nothing more than my imagination.

I shake my head as I frown, trying to clear my thoughts.

“You okay?”

“Fine,” I say, though it’s not true. Our rhythm is off, and it’s scaring me. We’ve always been in sync, even before we were dating. And now—well, now it almost feels like he’s deliberately keeping me off balance.

I want to get back to normal, and I don’t know the path, and my lack of confidence is frustrating me.

“Are you heading home?” Ryan asks.

I shake my head. “Oh, I don’t know. I haven’t decided. You?”

“Moira and I are taking Mom back to the hotel.”

I wait for him to invite me along, and when he doesn’t, I say, “It’ll be nice for you guys to have time to chat in the car. But she usually crashes early, doesn’t she?”

“Usually. Why?”

“Oh. Um.” I lick my lips. “Because I was wondering if you wanted to meet me somewhere. We could get a drink. We could talk.”

“Talk,” he repeats. He meets my eyes, and I see the question in them—have I changed my mind? Am I going to say yes?

I glance down at the floor.

“Talk,” he repeats. “No, I’m sorry. I can’t do that.”

I look up, frustrated. “But, Ryan, I just—”

“I have plans. I’m going to Westerfield’s.”

“Oh.” Westerfield’s is one of the hottest clubs in town. It’s also a Stark property, which means when Ryan goes he gets the full VIP treatment. Something that never fails to snag the attention of the female patrons. Most of whom are usually drunk. And wearing outfits that are barely big enough to keep a Barbie doll modest.

“Oh,” I repeat.

I wait for him to suggest I join him there, but all he says is, “It really was great that you came.” Then the bastard leans in and kisses my cheek. He kisses my f*cking cheek.

Michel’s Review

Fans of the Stark Series and Stark International series have been waiting for Jamie and Hunter’s happily ever after.  This couple has been a steadfast throughout both series.  Jamie is known for her loving, quirky personality and free spirit.  Hunter is the hot alpha male who dominates in the sexiest way.  These two have been lead supporting characters throughout both series.  So why haven’t they taken the plunge and married like their friends and colleagues.  Their love for another isn’t the issue.  It’s Jamie.  It’s time for Hunter to draw the line and either take control or let Jamie go.

Are Jamie and Hunter going to make it to the alter?  Read the book!

J. Kenner has finally given the readers more of this sexy couple.  I enjoyed their story even though I wanted to kick Jamie in the rear.  Hunter dominated the pages and my heart. This is a perfect addition to both series.

Michel’s Review

Writing this review has left me dumbfounded.  I’m not quite sure where to start or what to say so that I don’t give away spoilers.  I have attempted to draft this review several times only to hit delete.  I am really struggling to find the right words to do this book and this series justice.  So let me begin by talking about the series itself.

The Hell’s Bastard Series must be read in order to grasp the full intent of the story unfolding.  Each book is delivered with a perfectly synchronized installment that drives this series in a new direction before reaching it’s ultimate climax.  Making it unpredictable.

The Hell’s Bastard Series by Emma James is unlike anything out there.  It is a dark romantic thriller that touches upon human trafficking, captivity, violence, abuse, and psychological torment.  At the same time it also showcases the things that make life valuable, such as family, friendship, love, integrity, and confidence in oneself to stay true to their inner self.  It’s all blended in a shroud of mystery, suspense, and danger at every turn.  There is more than a warped evil villain contorting each and every move. Each installment in the Hell’s Bastard series contains one word and one word only.  Pay close attention to the word title of each book.  Look up the definition of each word.  The title is what propels this series to the next level.

wrench
ren(t)SH/
verb
past tense: wrenched; past participle: wrenched
pull or twist (someone or something) suddenly and violently.

warp
wôrp/Submit
verb
past tense: warped; past participle: warped
1.
become or cause to become bent or twisted out of shape, typically as a result of the effects of heat or dampness.
“wood has a tendency to warp”
synonyms: buckle, twist, bend, distort, deform, misshape, skew, curve, bow, contort

con·tort
kənˈtôrt/Submit
verb
past tense: contorted; past participle: contorted
twist or bend out of its normal shape.

Contorted is the third book in the Hell’s Bastard series.  It picks up where Warped left off.  Whisper is being held captive by Cezar Pavel in a secret location.  His psychological games are contorting what’s coming.  While Whisper is desperately hanging onto her sanity and hope that Edge will find her, she’s slowly losing the battle.  The things she thought she feared most are turning into something else, not quite as frightening.  The unimaginable fears are beginning to materialize.  It’s only the tip of the iceberg.  What Cezar Pavel has in store for her makes her years in captivity with William Dupre look like childs play.

Cezar Pavel is biding his time and conditioning the girls for upcoming main event.  He’s carefully chosen his sentinels to do his bidding. His rule is unquestionable.  To question is not without consequences.  He’s personally conditioned his executioner to kill without questions or remorse.  He carefully hides their identities behind Venetian Carnival masks. These masks instill fear and complete obedience .  No one knows his real identity or those of his sentinels.

Edge is desperately trying to find Whisper.  It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.  In the ordinary world Cezar Pavel does not exist.  In the underworld there is barely a trace of Cezar Pavel.  He has completely hid his existence, he hasn’t left any crumbs to follow.  The only thing that Edge can do is follow the small trail of crumbs he uncovered at the secret air hanger.  It’s a waiting game where time is running out before it began.  The only thing he can do is enlist the help of Boomer and his crew (Whisper’s family), call in the Soulless Bastards MC, the Lions Den MC, and Slade Malone (Ocean Beach Series).  Following that one crumb turns into a meticulously synchronized rescue attempt that turns into an unpredictable and explosive cliffhanger.

As an avid reader, I am not one to shy away from dark thrillers that portray extreme violence and inhumane actions.  I accept these conditions as part of the overall story.  Usually at this point in a series I have an idea of what direction the series is going.  I can usually loosely predict what is to come next.  Contorted was a different story, what I thought was coming did not unfold.  The players were as unpredictable as the plot.  I was completely SHOCKED by the outcome.  I cannot even imagine what could come next because I was left with so many questions as to the who’s, the why’s, and how are they all connected.  I am sure Emma James has a lot in store for the readers with the last two books before Whisper can finally find her happily ever after… or should I say true beginning… true freedom.  The next book is Entwined and will release in 2017.  The title itself assures me that I will get some answers but will probably end up with more questions before the final book, Venerated releases.

Emma James has proven beyond a shadow of doubt how truly talented and brilliant her writing is.  The vivid descriptions ( which had me Googling like crazy) and synchronized scenes told from many different POV’s made this story come to life.  It was a consuming reading experience!

Mack Daddy

By Penelope Ward

Release Date: February 13, 2017

Buy

AmazoniBooks | Nook | Kobo

 

 

From New York Times bestselling author, Penelope Ward, comes a sexy, STANDALONE second-chance romance.

They called him Mack Daddy. No, seriously, his name was Mack. Short for Mackenzie. Thus, the nickname. Perfect, right?

So was he: perfect. The perfect physical male specimen.

At the private school where I taught, Mack Morrison was the only man around in a sea of women.

Everyone wanted a piece of the hot single father of the sweet little boy.

I was riddled with jealousy, because they didn’t know that—to me—he was much more.

They didn’t know about our past.

He’d chosen my school for his son on purpose, because Mack and I, we had unfinished business.

As my friend Lorelai so eloquently put it: “Unfinished business between two people who are clearly attracted to each other is like an eternal case of blue balls.” And I was suffering in pain from my case.

I was still intensely attracted to Mack. I tried to resist him, immersing myself further into a relationship with another man just to protect my heart.

Not to mention, getting involved with a parent was strictly against school rules. But seeing Mack day in and day out was breaking me down.

And soon I might be breaking all the rules.

Author’s note – Told in alternating points of view, Mack Daddy is a full-length standalone novel.

He's Back

5Star

Michel’s Review

Penelope Ward has another stunning new novel that is going to be another trendsetter.  Single daddy, adorable little boy, a complex past with the teacher, and the determination to win the love of his life’s heart back… Mack Daddy is steaming up the classroom.

Francesa (Frankie) O’ Hara never dreamed she would see MacKenzie Morrison again after he left Boston.  When he turns up in her first grade classroom with his six year old son,Jonah, she’s shocked and a bit bewildered.  She has an unfinished history with Mack that left her broken hearted.  Now he’s back wanting to renew their friendship and win her heart.

Mack has always loved Frankie.  They never had the opportunity to explore their feelings because he didn’t take control of his life at home.  He didn’t break up with his old girlfriend soon enough and she ended up pregnant.  He couldn’t turn his back on his child.  His father wouldn’t allow him to tarnish the Morrison name.  Seven years later, he’s taken control, he’s no longer with Jonah’s mother.  Fate has thrown him a bone when Jonah’s mother, Torrie, takes a job in Boston. He’s finally free to renew his friendship with Frankie.

Mack’s son has special circumstances that he feels like Frankie can help with.  Jonah suffers from anxiety and tends to withdraw within himself.  Mack wants the best for his son.  He’s a hands on father and volunteers regularly in Jonah’s class.

Frankie and Mack renew their friendship and realize their feelings never went away.  How do they take their relationship to the next level when Frankie is Jonah’s teacher and she’s involved in a committed relationship?  Mack’s ex, Torrie, is not happy with the situation developing between her son’s teacher and father.  She will do anything to protect her son, including using Mack’s father’s political power to destroy Frankie.

Mack and Frankie are going to have to fight for their love.  This time around they are mature adults and can handle anything Torrie and his father throw at them.

Once again Penelope Ward wrote a fantastic book with all the “feels”.  I could not put it down.  I am sure this is going to be another trendsetter like Stepbrother Dearest and Roomhate.

Release Blitz + 5 Star Review + Giveaway: Riveted by Jay Crownover – Saints of Denver Series – Book 3

RIVETED - header banner

 

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Marked Men books comes the next installment in the Saints of Denver series.

 

 

Riveted - cover

Everyone else in Dixie Carmichael’s life has made falling in love look easy, and now she is ready for her own chance at some of that happily ever after. Which means she’s done pining for the moody, silent former soldier who works with her at the bar that’s become her home away from home. Nope. No more chasing the hot as heck thundercloud of a man and no more waiting for Mr. Right to find her; she’s going hunting for him…even if she knows her heart is stuck on its stupid infatuation with Dash Churchill.

Denver has always been just a pit stop for Church on his way back to rural Mississippi. It was supposed to be simple, uneventful, but nothing could have prepared him for the bubbly, bouncy redhead with doe eyes and endless curves. Now he knows it’s time to get out of Denver, fast. For a man used to living in the shadows, the idea of spending his days in the sun is nothing short of terrifying.

When Dixie and Church find themselves caught up in a homecoming overshadowed with lies and danger, Dixie realizes that while falling in love is easy, loving takes a whole lot more work…especially when Mr. Right thinks he’s all wrong for you.

Michel’s Review

As an avid reader I have read many outstanding novels and become deeply involved with book series the author creates.  Their world and dynamic characters are vibrantly alive.  I can’t wait to see what happens next in their world.  I want to get to know each character intimately.  I want to know what makes them tick, what influences have made them the way they are, what secrets they are hiding, and what is in store for them in the future.  I want them to find the HEA with the perfect partner.

Jay Crownover has created a world with the Marked Men series and the Saints of Denver series that has me chomping at the bits for the next book.  Her characters have become my friends and family in my vivid imagination.  They have stolen my heart.  Within both of these series there has been one character that has captured my attention with his mysterious allure, alpha behavior, and honorable actions.  That man is Dashel Church, Rome’s former special ops teammate.  Church came to Denver to work at Rome’s bar as a bouncer.  His strong silent demeanor and contributions in both series has left the readers wanting more of this man.  At last Jay Crownover is giving us his story in Riveted.  Like the man, this story is complex and completely unexpected.

Dashes Church went to Denver after he left the service.  He wasn’t ready to return home to Mississippi.  He’s been biding his time working for Rome at the bar, but knows at some point he is going to have to return home and face his family.  He has avoided his family under the pretense that he went to Denver because of a woman rather than returning home.  When the dreaded call comes, he has to return home and face his family.  He doesn’t have the heart to disappoint them with his lies so he convinces Dixie, the bright and sunny cocktail waitress at the bar, to make the trip with him and spend a few days with his family.  His family will love Dixie and Dixie will make his return easier.

Dixie has always wanted the perfect happily ever after.  She is the sunshine and rainbows type of girl.  She sees the good in everything.  She’s there with a smile, dependable to those she loves, and always willing to go above and beyond for those she loves.  She has secretly been in love with Church since he first walked into the bar.  She has finally given up hope of capturing his attention and winning his heart. After a few years and many failed attempts, she has come to realize that Church is unavailable. With a discouraged heart she realizes she needs to start dating again.  She turns to the dating websites and has come across some epic losers.  Maybe it’s time to throw in the towel and forget about finding her happily ever after.  The tables turn when Church asks her to return home with him to Mississippi. She sees this as final opportunity and last ditch effort.  She may return home to Denver with a broken heart or she may find her happily ever after.

Traveling from Denver to Mississippi on the back of the bike with Church is more than exciting.  It’s an eye opener.  Seeing where Church comes from and meeting his family is a interesting.  Learning the truths about his past and the values of the community is a shocker.  When the past and present collide and becomes dangerous, it’s downright frightening.  Finding her happily ever after with Church is worth it all.  It is perfection.

Once again Jay Crownover has delivered another great addition to the dynamic Denver crew.  She gave Church and Dixie the perfect happily ever after they needed.  He needed her sunshine and she needed his strength.  They both found love and peace.  They found a place to call home.

Jay gave a few hints of who might be next in the Saints of Denver series.  I can’t wait to see their story unfold.  But for now I am going to bask in Church and Dixie’s story.

He Will Be My Ruin

By K. A. Tucker

Paperback Release

 

 

 

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | iBooks | Kobo

IndieBound | Book Depository | Audible

 

Synopsis

 

 

Discover the novel praised as a “nail-biting thriller” (Publishers Weekly), a “compelling web” (Kirkus Reviews), “tightly plotted character study” (RT Magazine), and a “dark, twisty tale of lurid secrets, lavish lifestyles, and devastating loss” (Lisa Gardner).

A woman who almost had it all…On the surface, Celine Gonzalez had everything a twenty-eight-year-old in Manhattan could want: a one-bedroom apartment on the Lower East Side, a job that (mostly) paid the bills, and an acceptance letter to the prestigious Hollingsworth Institute of Art, where she would finally live out her dream of becoming an antiques appraiser for a major auction house. All she had worked so hard to achieve was finally within her reach. So why would she kill herself?

A man who was supposed to be her salvation…Maggie Sparkes arrives in New York City to pack up what’s left of her best friend’s belongings after a suicide that has left everyone stunned. The police have deemed the evidence conclusive: Celine got into bed, downed a lethal cocktail of pills and vodka, and never woke up. But when Maggie discovers a scandalous photograph in a lock box hidden in Celine’s apartment, she begins asking questions. Questions about the man Celine fell in love with. The man she never told anyone about, not even Maggie. The man Celine believed would change her life.

Until he became her ruin…On the hunt for evidence that will force the police to reopen the case, Maggie uncovers more than she bargained for about Celine’s private life—and inadvertently puts herself on the radar of a killer. A killer who will stop at nothing to keep his crimes undiscovered.

On the hunt for evidence that will force the police to reopen the case, Maggie uncovers more than she bargained for about Celine’s private life—and inadvertently puts herself on the radar of a killer. A killer who will stop at nothing to keep his crimes undiscovered.

Michel’s Review

Wow… I did not see this coming!  K. A. Tucker stepped up her game!  She’s known for her dynamic New Adult and Romantic Suspense novels that have put her on all the best sellers lists and become a favorite among the readers.  Her upcoming release He Will Be My Ruin is going to bring a new group of readers into her fold.

He Will Be My Ruin is not a romance.  It is a psychological thriller that takes the reader on a twisted journey and keeps them guessing throughout the book.  Each passage has the reader on the edge of their seat and surprised at what comes next.  When the final revelations are played out it’s another shock.  The story is unpredictable and has a very unique plot.  The delivery keeps the reader captivated and glued to the pages.  The characters are very well developed.  The progression of their actions and involvement is meticulously choreographed throughout the story.  The perfect sycronicity leads to an explosive ending.

I could easily envision this book being made into a movie.

He Will Be My Ruin by K. A. Tucker is beyond good… it is brilliant!  Buy this book!

New Release + 5 Star Review: Yours And Mine by Christine Duval – Sequel to Positively Mine – Freshman Forty Series

32468770

Yours And Mine

Sequel To … Positively Mine

Freshman Forty Series

By Christine Duval

Buy: Amazon

9112b-goodreads

Synopsis

The highly anticipated sequel to Positively Mine….
Picking up from the dramatic ending of Positively Mine, Yours and Mine continues the Freshman Forty series as we meet Laurel’s baby’s father, Danny Santoro, for the first time.
It’s been almost a year since he last saw her, that sultry morning she walked off the beach before dawn had even cracked the August sky. It seemed from her silence, she was out of his life forever.
But Laurel’s timing couldn’t be worse to tell him he’s a father. The last year hasn’t been easy. Danny’s own father was arrested for a DUI, his mother moved out, and Danny started sleeping with his brother’s old high school, drug-abusing girlfriend.
After Laurel shocks him with the news, she attempts to relinquish Danny of any parental responsibility leading to a heated custody battle. In an unorthodox arrangement, an eccentric judge orders Danny and Laurel to spend alternating nights with each other for the upcoming school year.
Told from Danny’s point of view, Yours and Mine explores the second chapter of a romance that never got off the ground, the challenges of young parenting, and the hope of rekindled love.

Michel’s Review

Yours And Mine, the highly anticipated sequel to Positively Mine by Christine Duval has released.  I highly recommend reading Positively Mine first.

Laurel hid her pregnancy from everyone during her freshman year of college until it got to a life or death situation.  Now she has to face the realities of her life.  She is a young mother trying to juggle her school schedule, her responsibilities to her child, and social life.  She’s doing the best she can but she’s not quite emotionally mature enough to handle it all.  She has a lot of growing up to do.  The first thing she has to do is tell Danny about the baby.

Danny was shocked to learn he was a father but he’s willing to accept the responsibility that go along with fatherhood.  He’s a few years older than Laurel and has been on his own for awhile.  He works full time and is attending college.  When Laurel falters on allowing him time with his daughter, he has to turn to the courts.  The courts take their unique circumstances into account and create unique visitation schedules.

At first the schedule is working but it’s Danny who is making all the concessions.  His relationship with Laurel is becoming closer but she is still a bit selfish.  She only sees what she wants to see and wants to have a carefree college girl life when Danny has their child. After a while Danny just can’t handle her immaturity and once again returns to the courts to make his custodial rights more conducive to his life, school schedule, and work schedule.  For the first time Laurel really has to face the realities of co parenting and compromising.

In the end Laurel will finally become a mature individual.  Once she learns what is important, life will change for all three of them.

Christine Duval did a wonderful job capturing the maturity level a someone Laurel’s age.  I have a daughter about the same age and a could see her being a lot like Laurel.  At that age their life experience level is just beginning.  They are just learning to be adults and make decisions for themselves.  In most cases they are not completely independent of their families, financially or emotionally. It’s not that they are selfish, they are just self involved.  They are in the learning process of making sound decisions for themselves.  Sometimes they can’t see the bigger picture in the decision making process.  Christine allowed Laurel to mature in a healthy, positive manner that was realistic.  Like most kids, she turned out okay and found out what matters most in life.

Yours And Mine by Christine Duval was a realistic and emotional conclusion in the Freshman Forty series.

Synopsis

It is four weeks into her freshman year of college, and Laurel’s first test was unexpected. Discovering she’s pregnant isn’t exactly what she had planned for her first semester, and while she intends to tell her emotionally-distant father, being away at school makes it all too easy to hide.

An imperfect heroine plagued by bad choices and isolated during what should be the best time of her life, readers are sure to identify with Laurel as she confronts teen pregnancy, in secret.

5Star

Michel’s Review

I am a little late to the game in reading Positively Mine by Christine Duval. The reason this book was brought to my attention is because I saw the blurb for Yours and Mine, the conclusion to this book that will be releasing soon.

I read Positively Mine in one sitting. I couldn’t put the book down. Not only did the author cover all the stages of pregnancy including the emotional aspects as well as the physical aspects, she added an emotional and realistic storyline. Being pregnant for the first time is scary and confusing. A woman doesn’t exactly know what to expect or how to react. The medical condition is easy to convey but the emotional side differs from woman to woman. But when you are an eighteen year old young woman not only starting your college career finding out your pregnant at the same time can be paralyzing. For Laurel it was devastating.

Laurel kept her pregnancy secret from her peers, her professors, her family, and the baby’s father. She struggled through her pregnancy as well as her academics. While her personal and academic lives are falling apart so is her family life. Her father has basically cut her out of his personal life and is remarrying. He’s starting a new family. There isn’t a place for her in his new life let alone a place for a baby.

Laurel has to figure everything out for herself. She hasn’t made the best choices but is determined to have her baby. Keeping a secret this big is destroying her.

When the truth finally comes out Laurel will have to face all the lies she’s told. She will finally be ready to become a grown up. She will be ready to become a mother.

Christine Duval did a fantastic job writing Laurel’s story. I believed every word and felt every emotion.

Michel’s Review

After reading For 100 Days by Lara Adrian I have been sitting on pins and needles waiting For 100 Nights to release.  The huge cliffhanger and the erotic relationship between Avery Ross and Dominic (Nick) Blaine left me wanting more!

For 100 Nights is a sequel to For 100 Days.  It is imperative to read the first book before reading For 100 Nights.

Both Avery and Nick have been hiding secrets from one another.  A portion of Avery’s secrets were exposed when Nick found out the truth about her mother.  That was only a small portion of the secrets she’s been hiding not only from Nick but everyone else.  Someone has uncovered her secrets and is blackmailing her and threatening to harm her mother.  Rather than coming clean and trusting Nick with her problems, she tries to handle them herself. The only solution is turning to Nick’s enemy for help.  This could destroy her relationship with Nick but she’s desperate and ashamed of her past.  These actions begin to unravel and reveal some of the secrets Nick has been hiding from her.

While both Avery and Nick are hiding their secrets, their passion for one another is exploding.  Their relationship is developing into more than erotic explorations, it’s becoming very real.  They are falling in love with one another.

Their secrets could destroy their relationship.  Avery’s are finally exposed and Nick’s reaction is very different than she thought it would be.  When Nick’s biggest secret is exposed, Avery’s reaction is something Nick didn’t see coming.  CLIFFHANGER!

Lara Adrian has once again wowed me with her writing.  She has created a complex erotic romance that has layers upon layers for both of her characters.  Their passion for one another is romantic, sizzling, and a little bit naughty.  Lara has added intrigue and suspense that keeps the reader completely involved.  Each small revelation is leading to an explosive conclusion.  I cannot wait for the third and final book – For 100 Reasons to release.
