Parker

I’ve been disgraced. I have nothing left to my name after being dishonorably discharged from the military. But I was falsely accused. It doesn’t matter though. It would take a Presidential pardon for me to get my life back, and I don’t see that happening anytime soon. But then Knight walked into my life and offered me a chance at redemption. I don’t want to believe that it could be true, but I’m ready to go along for the ride and see what happens. That’s how I met her. She threw me through a window, but that won’t stop me from seeing her again.
Blake
You know that phrase ‘I’ve gotten myself into a pickle’? Well, this is a huge pickle. I thought I knew what I was doing when I ran, but this is so much more involved than I ever imagined. I didn’t think someone else would show up at the senator’s house where I was digging up information. I also didn’t expect him to be so hot or to follow me. And I really didn’t expect him to attack me. But I know how to defend myself, so I’m not too worried about it. Now I just have to stay hidden until I can figure out what’s going on. But nothing in my life seems to be going as planned lately. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised when he shows up yet again.

“Ask me what?” she asked, turning to look at me for a moment.

“What?”

“You said that you should ask me.”

My brows crinkled in confusion. Did I really say that out loud?

“Yes.”

Huh. Must be the blood loss.

“Well, I’m sure that has something to do with it. So, what did you want to ask me?”

“Are you military?”

“No, but maybe that would have been the better way to go.”

I blinked slowly at her, trying to focus on what she was saying. “What way did you go?”

She grinned at me. “FBI.”

“Oh, fuck,” I groaned. I was so going to jail. I should have listened to my gut instincts and stayed the fuck away from Knight. I knew he would only get me in trouble, but his offer was so fucking tempting. I could imagine myself carrying a gun again and not getting in trouble for it. I could see myself getting a job and not worrying that they were judging me based on my service record, even though they weren’t supposed to. It all sounded so fucking good, but I should have fucking known.

“I take it that means that you really can’t afford to be caught breaking and entering.”

“You broke and entered first,” I shot back.

She nodded. “Yeah, I did, but I’m not FBI anymore.”

“Why?” I asked, a little dumbfounded as to why someone would leave a job like that. It wasn’t like you could just walk off the street and become an FBI agent. In fact, all of those agencies weren’t a cakewalk. You had to prove that you had something special to get in there.

“I was fired as of three days ago.”

“For what?”

“I dug into something I wasn’t supposed to. Well, at the time I hadn’t done much digging at all, but my boss was an ass and he knew I wouldn’t let it go. So, he told me to hand in my badge and gun.”

I grunted, huffing out a harsh breath that fucking hurt like hell. “Well, at least it makes sense now.”

“What does?”

“Why you were a good sparring partner,” I mumbled.

“Sparring partner? I kicked your ass.”

“That’s debatable.”

“Who is sitting in the passenger seat with a piece of glass sticking out of him?”

I rolled my eyes, pissed that she had me there. “Me.”

“That’s right. I kicked your ass.”

“You shoved me in a glass through a window,” I slurred. “If I did that glass to you, the window wouldn’t be looking too good now either.”

“That didn’t make any sense.”

I shrugged. “Whatever.”

I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Guarding My Six
by K.J. Porter
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Wade Hamilton is an ex-Army Ranger and an accomplished tattoo artist. Now, thanks to a gift that was bestowed upon him by a grateful mother during a trip to Alaska several years ago, he is also a protector; a guardian. His gift, which he uses sparingly, allows him to infuse his art with special qualities. When a shy, young, woman and her three college roommates, walk into his studio he senses there’s something unique about Tori. After the initial interview, he comes to understand she has suffered a devastating loss and keeps her grief buried deep inside. While working on the special tattoo she’d designed herself, Wade adds a little magic to the ink that will boost her courage and, perhaps, bring a little joy and excitement to her life. And then, she and her friends walk out of his studio and out of his life.
Three months later, Wade receives a call from an old Army buddy, Matthew Miller, whose baby sister is critically injured in a hit and run. Wade wastes no time heading to Savannah, Georgia to lend his support. Never having met Matt’s family, other than a brother and their father, Wade has no idea that Victoria Miller is the same woman who has been haunting his dreams since she walked out of his studio.
As Tori fights for her life, Wade refuses to leave her side, believing it was his magic that had put her in front of the car that nearly killed her. To further complicate matters, he finds himself falling hard for Tori. Knowing that nothing good can come from developing a relationship with her, Wade is terrified that his secret will only put Tori in more danger. A secret he’s kept buried since he was thirteen; he believes his abusive, alcoholic, father beat Wade’s younger brother, Davey, so badly it caused the boy permanent brain damage. It was also the first time the “red-rage” took over Wade, leaving him with no memory of the event and put his father in the hospital.
When Tori refuses to give up on a chance for happiness with Wade, he can no longer push her away. He realizes he must confront his demons and put them to rest before they can take the next step in their relationship. But, when an unknown, and very powerful, enemy from his parents’ past catches up with him, Tori could very well become collateral damage.
Kate Porter is an American writer based in South Georgia. She grew up on a small farm in central Indiana where she graduated from Owen Valley Community High School.

My Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Magic, ex-Military Special Forces, shifters, oh my!

Wade Hamilton had a rough life. He left home as soon as possible and joined the service. After leaving the service he opened a tattoo parlor in New Orleans and has a desire to help people when they are in trouble. After a trip with two buddies to Alaska, and Wade rescued a young girl from two men, Wade now has more of a desire to help those that need it. He also has some help with his penchant for stepping into danger from the mother of the young girl he rescued in Alaska. Wade does have a secret though and one chance meeting with a young woman that he can’t seem to get out of his head, it could all come crashing down around him.

Tori Miller has always been a daddy’s girl, always done what he has told her, and never stands up to her father. She wants to make him proud and do as he asks, he has enough on his mind when he and her two brothers are deployed overseas so much. She is now getting ready to graduate from college and wants to have a little more courage and strength. When she walks into Wade’s tattoo parlor with her two best friends, she already has an idea for her first tattoo. Although she knows her father may not be happy about it, the tattoo is her honor to her father and brothers. After meeting Wade and seeing his tattoos, Tori asks him to add a little extra to her tattoos to include courage.

I really enjoyed this book. It is full of great characters, a great story, danger, action, and finding the truth. Tori finds that she has a unique ability after she has a near death experience. Tori and Wade find that they have more of a connection than they expected. The truth about Wade’s family has a lot of twists and turns and when revealed to Wade, he will have to come to terms with his decision to leave years ago and how things have changed. I love how Ms. Porter showed that Wade was settled, mature, and a man that could be trusted and counted on. His two buddies that he was trying to help are so different and really needed to get a clue. The book was entertaining, and the pages turned quickly through this book. I had a hard time putting it down. I give this story a 5-star review and recommend it to readers that enjoy, paranormal, military, action, and stories with strong characters.

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

“The first time I kissed an angel, I died.”

She is trying to make ends meet and pay her rent. She’s not willing to sell herself to do it though, she has respect for herself and will not go that far. Although it’s getting harder daily to pay her bills and keep a roof over her head. Angel works as a waitress in a run-down bar in Chula Vista, California. It hasn’t always been this way though, just last year she was working at her dream job, until one man ruined it all by going after the producer of the show she was working on. The trouble was that when Dominic went after the producer, it also put Angel in a bad light. Did she get the part on her own merits or by any means possible?

He’s a man who has struggled for what he has, and he had a lot until recently when he went after the wrong man. He’s the owner of his own gossip magazine and decided to go after the king of Hollywood, the big man of Silverline Studios, and ended up being taken to court for defamation of character. This brought Dominic to his knees and now his only option to save his business, his employees’ jobs, and his own assets, is to find the Princess of Hollywood. Is it possible to find Alexandra Romanov alive and well? Or is the last survivor of the tragedy 15 years ago really dead as well? Can he find a suitable replacement to save his business, or will he have to close down his paper for good?

The mind is a funny thing. It can protect us from devastating situations, and it can open our eyes to the truth when needed or prompted. However, it can be a dangerous situation when our minds begin to open up and other tragedies happen to us.

I really enjoyed this story. It is full of danger, mind games, and Hollywood secrets being publicized. The characters are great, they are broken, fearless, dangerous, and scary. The story takes us through a history of Hollywood royalty that was destroyed due to one man’s secrets and lies. The sole survivor of a tragic night was hidden away for years and has no memory of the night that they were saved and given a new life to live. Until the mind starts to reveal her past, little by little and all jumbled up. Unbeknownst to this survivor, they have been watched for 15 years. The man who has been watching for 15 years will always watch out for this survivor and will do what is needed to keep them safe and protected. I give this story a 4.5-star review and suggest it to readers who enjoy mafia, Hollywood starlets, or psychological thrillers. Cora Kenborn knows how to write tragedy, mafia, and crazy characters.

Genre: Contemporary Military Romance
Staff Sgt. Shane Logan is lucky to have come from a privileged family, and after losing both of his legs in the war, he now has the best prosthetics that money can buy. While he is trying to move forward with life, he struggles with the past and the way people react to him and his disability.
Dr. Lauren Falcone works tirelessly to help veterans deal with the trauma and pain of their deployments. Her unique virtual approach to therapy keeps her busy, and the assistance she provides to service members as they recover mentally helps her resolve her own anxieties.
When Shane meets Lauren at a fundraiser for his father’s organization, he wonders if there just might be a chance for him to get his dream off the ground and maybe find a normal life with someone who can look past his flaws and see the man he is inside.
Shane and Lauren are drawn to each other by their hope to make life easier for veterans, both physically and emotionally. Their goal is to build Shane’s dream organization, Rise Again Warrior, that will assist veterans to integrate more easily into society and have the opportunity to receive state-of-the-art technology and therapy.

She never approved of Shane joining the military and knows little about the world he has lived in for most of his life. All that will change when she has to ask him for a job after her father cuts her off.
Derek Stall lives on the streets by choice—not circumstance. Memories of what he did under order sometimes haunt him, other times give him the strength to move through one more day until he can finish the mission he started.
A chance meeting between Dana and Derek will lead to an unlikely friendship that might just save his life, but the drastic differences between them could be the dividing wedge that keeps them apart.
When Derek feels he has to leave Rise Again Warrior to complete his mission, he begins to realize that he could be leaving behind more than just a few friends. Could he be leaving behind the possibility of a healthy future before he finally accepts his past?

Tool Teaser 4

My Review: 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

His past has come back to haunt him with a vengeance.

Logan “Tool” is the VP of the Ruthless Kings MC. He’s a man who believes that “hate is born from love”. He is the best friend of Reaper, the President of the Ruthless Kings MC. He had a terrible, tragic childhood until the day he stood up for his mom and changed their lives forever. He has no idea who the men are that his mom called for a favor, but thanks to them, they will have a better life, until Tool’s past comes back to haunt him.

Juliette’s daddy’s little girl. He’s overprotective and a great father, she believes. She hasn’t seen the side of him that the Ruthless Kings MC has, and she has no idea the man her father, the Sheriff really is. She’s going to find out though, and it is not going to be pretty nor will it end well. She’s a good girl, naïve, and she’s been told a lot of stories about the Ruthless Kings and how they were no good, and she was to stay away from them. The only trouble is that she is having a hard time following her father’s rules now that she is out on her own and has had a run in with Tool, actually a couple of run ins now. Will he be the reason for her death, or her savior?

This story has a lot of dark, twisted, tragic, and disturbed parts, but it is such a great read. I love the Ruthless Kings MC and the characters in this series always have so much to share. The men of the MC are brothers by choice, and they fight, ride, and live like brothers. They are fierce in their loyalty to the MC as well as to the women that find their way into their hearts and their lives. They live, love, and play hard. I love the camaraderie as well as the bickering between the characters. The relationship between Tool and Poodle is great to read. This story started with action and it didn’t stop until the end. It has the men of the MC, corrupt police, the bad side of town, and women who find their strength through the men that they fall in love with. They find that they’re stronger with these men and they’re stronger because of them. I loved the twists and dark and dangerous parts of this book, and I loved that Boomer was back. I give this story a 5-star review and suggest it to readers of MC, strong women, and action-packed dangerous stories. I look forward to more of the Ruthless Kings MC in the future. The book cover was perfect for the description of Tool and Yeti.

Title: Nightingale
Series: Reed Security Series #24
Author: Giulia Lagomarsino
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 15, 2020

“What a ride Nightingale was! Giulia Lagomarsino really upped their emotions with Florrie and Alec’s story.” ~The Art of Reading


“WOW! What a roller-coaster ride this book was! Incredible! So many ups and downs and emotion. An entertaining addition to the series!” ~Goodreads Review (Jennifer)

Florrie

 

I don’t do well with emotions and yucky love stuff. I do the best I can, but at the end of the day, I’m better at showing someone I love them by fighting for them. That’s the way I’ve always been and how I’ll always be. And I have one helluva fight ahead of me. I’ll do anything for the people I love, but what I didn’t expect was to be fighting the one person I thought would always be on my side. I don’t know if I can ever forgive him for this or if we can ever move forward. Some betrayals are just unforgivable. 
 
 
Alec
Life is going great. I have the woman I love by my side and a kid that is quickly becoming a huge part of my life. What can go wrong? Then it happens. One phone call changes my world in such a profound way that I’m not sure anything will ever be the same again. I risk losing it all with my decisions, but I have to stand up for what I believe is right. I just hope that when the dust settles, I still have someone on my side.

I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Holy Cow!! I won’t say that both of them made me angry, but boy Nightingale sure did.

Florrie is a team member of Reed Security. She is tough, strong, and independent. She’s also selfish, bullheaded, and single minded, in my opinion. She and her teammate Alec hid their relationship for three years before they made it official and let the rest of Reed Security know that they were a couple. Of course, Craig, their other team member figured it out sooner than the rest, by pure coincidence.

Alec is the lead for Team 5 of Reed Security. He makes a lot of decisions for the team when they are in the field. The only problem is that he has a hard time shutting that off when they are home and he doesn’t discuss things with Florrie and Craig, which causes a lot of problems. He wants to protect Florrie and she is so independent that she has a hard time letting him take care of her.

Reid is a young boy that left a bad situation at his stepfather’s house. He ended up on the streets and ran into Florrie and Alec one night and instead of turning him over to the authorities, they took him in and cared for him. He’s a young teen and has found a home where he feels safe and loved. When his temporary custody comes into jeopardy it causes all kinds of issues with Reed Security.

These two are both strong willed and pig headed, but Florrie really made me angry through this book. She couldn’t see anything besides her own thoughts and feelings. She was determined to do what was needed, but she didn’t stop to think of the repercussions. I enjoyed the story, the tensions, the characters, the comedic relief, and the overall story of this book. While I was angry a lot with Florrie, I could understand her devastation, but not her actions and treatment of Alec. I love the character in this series, and I devour these books, but this one had me wanting to throat punch Florrie most of the time. Her actions and words were hurtful and destructive. I felt that Alec deserved better than what she was giving him. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more of the Reed Security Series. I would love to see stories of the kids as they grow up, especially and Reid and Caitlyn. If you like stories with Alpha males, strong women, security details, and crazy families, you will love this series, and you should one-click it right away.

Drew

 

Drew Walker

My life changed the day my daughter was shoved into the back of a van on the orders of a man I considered my brother.

It’s never going to be the same again.
I’m never going to be the same again.

But I’m being given another chance to do everything right this time.

And I’ll be damned if I screw it up.

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

He needs to forgive himself and learn to move on, but, how can he?

Drew can’t seem to get over that his daughter was kidnapped and the destruction of his MC and the fear of losing everything he holds dear. He needs to come to terms with what happened, and that Justice is home, alive, and fighting to move on with her life.

I have enjoyed these shorts and this story did not disappoint. Drew is a man who loves his family deeply and is destroyed that an MC brother betrayed not only him but the entire MC and hurt his little girl. Now he’s afraid he’s going to lose everything. Hearing Drew’s point of view on the abduction of Justice and the aftermath is heartbreaking. He’s a good father, husband, and loyal brother to the MC. I give this short a 5-star review and suggest that you read Heaven Hill Next Generation before you pick up the shorts, but you won’t be disappointed. Ms. Briscoe does a great job with some hard situations and you can’t help but love the characters of Heaven Hills or any of her other books.

Excerpt
“Nymph.” His voice is deep, hollow. Mesmerizing like a siren. Butterflies spill in my belly and blood rushes to my ears. I hate it when people give me nicknames as if I’m a kid, but for some strange reason, I always allow Devious to do it.

He grabs a few strands of my curls, twirls them around his finger. “I always wanted to know if your hair was as soft as it looks.” He runs his thick fingers through my thick curly hair. “Your hair feels like silk. It’d be easy to wrap around my finger if I were to fuck you.”

My cheeks burn hotter than a log in a fire. Jesus, this man. I’ve never had another to say bold words to me. Atrocious never been this bold. I wonder how it would feel to fuck Devious. But, instead I’m stuck with slutty Underboss of Las Vegas that I have no interest in.

“Giving me a compliment won’t get you in my panties, Devious. You’re going to have to try harder than that.” I flip my hair over my shoulders and straighten my spine like a pole.

His laugh is low and sinister. It chills me to the bones. So much lust burns in his eyes that it could burn down this whole building. My heart beats into a frenzy and my mouth becomes bone dry.

Devious runs his thick fingers through his inky black hair then shoves them into his pocket. “What will?” His tone is elegant, just like him. His eyes drift to my lips and I shake my head, smiling.

“Thirty million and a pet mermaid,” I joke.

He leans down, whispers. “Do you accept checks or cash?” His voice tickles my ear. A flush crawled to my neck, making its way to my cheeks. Then my eyes catch his expensive loafers and trail up to his black tailored suit. Devious is wealthy beyond reason. If wealth was an aura, then you could feel it from him.

“I’m joking.” I smile.

“Well, I wasn’t.” There is a ting of smugness in his tone.

I bite my bottom lip and pick at the dead skin around my thumb. “Why are you here? If you’re looking for Papa, then I’m afraid you have missed him. He left an hour ago.” I lie.

“Did he now?” He smirks wickedly.

“Yeah, he went to…to pick us up some dinner from Chipotle.”

He taps his index finger on my nose. “You were never good at lying.” He tsk. “Where is he hiding?”

“Why would I lie to you? I told you that he’s out getting us dinner.”

Annoyance paints his face. “It’s a crime to lie to your Don. If you lie to me again, then I’ll have no choice, but to punish you,” he threatens. Devious is the Don of all the five familigas in the United States which makes him one of the most powerful men in the country. “Again, Where is Lex?”

I gulp loud before answering. “In the living room.” I step to the side and he waltzes inside, along with his soldiers and I trail behind them.

“You need to plan his funeral tomorrow.” Devious’ emotionless tone scares me. My pulse thumps loud in my ears and bile tickles the back of my throat.

We enter the living room. Papa stands taller and Devious towers over him

“You’re ready to accept your punishment?” Devious asks and Papa simply nods. His facial expression displays bravery, but his eyes. Terror shines in them.

“If you don’t want to see the inside of your father’s skull then I suggest you leave,” Devious orders me, removing his gun from his holster. He aims it at Papa’s forehead. My papa closes his eyes and puffs out his chest.

Fear eats up every cell in my body and a lump forms in my throat. This is the reason he wanted me to stay in Vegas. He committed a crime against Devious and wanted to make sure I was taken care of by Atrocious.

I rush in front of Papa, blocking him, but it’s no good. I hold my head high, shielding myself with my bravery. You need bravery to face Devious. If you show one crack of weakness, then he’ll use it against you. Slowly, Devious lowers his gun to his side and his face flickers with confusion.

“Please, don’t,” I whisper. “What did he do?”

“Leave, now! Roselyn,” Papa screams, pushing me in the direction of the door, but I keep my shoes glued to the floor.

I turn my view to Devious. His jaw tics and anger warps in his eyes. “He stole a hundred thousand dollars from me.”

“I have thirty thousand dollars and I can work as a maid to pay off his debt,” I say.

I received fifty grand from Mama’s death. Plus, I save the money Papa gives me weekly. The women in the mafia are not allowed to work, they are supposed to wait until their familiga’s marry them off. It’s an ancient rule in the modern world and it’s stupid. I don’t care about working as long as it means saving Papa’s life.

Devious glances between Papa and me. And I can tell that he’s thinking long and hard about something, then he smiles. His smile is more deadly than poison. Papa shakes his head.

“You can’t have her,” Papa says, shoving Devious. Devious takes a few steps forward and glares at him. Nervousness swallows me whole and spits me out

“Grab him,” Devious says.

The two soldiers grab Papa by the arm on each side. Devious stalks up to me and I take a step back. He grips my chin, rubs his thumb on my cheek. I place my hand on his, digging my nails into his flesh and he doesn’t flinch. His eyes
bore into mine and my breath is labored and short.

His cologne is strong and inviting. He smells as if he rolled in a tub of
cinnamon spice.

“You’re going to be my new wife to pay off Lex’s debt.” My heart beats so hard that I think it’s going to burst in my chest. Nauseous hits me like a boxer hitting a punching bag. I can’t believe Devious would ask for my hand in marriage. Especially when he hasn’t even shown any interest in me besides trying to get me to sleep with him.

“What? I’m promised to Atrocious.” I shake my head. The thought of me
marrying him sent a shiver down my spine.

“I’m well aware of your engagement to him.” He grits out and I don’t
miss the jealousy in his tone.

“No.” I challenge and he grinds his perfect white teeth.

“No?” he says as if the words are foreign. The corner of his mouth turns up and I fold my arms across my chest.

“You heard me. What part of no do you not understand? The N or the O?”

The lines on his forehead deepen as he aims his gun at my Papa’s forehead again. “Marry me or watch your father’s brain decorate this tacky ass wall.”

Tears sting my eyes, anger hurdles in my chest, my throat burns. His face is wiped clean from any emotions. Gone is the person who just flirted with me a few minutes ago, replaced with the psychopath and murderer that I heard about. Devious hid that side of him well. I was naïve to believe that he was different, because he is always nice to me.

Papa shakes his head so hard that I think it will roll off his shoulders.
“Don’t do it, Roselyn,” he begs. His eyes flash with warning.

Devious cocks his gun and digs the barrel in Papa’s forehead harder. “My
patience is running thin. I don’t have all day.”

“Fine,” I answer, through clench teeth, and fresh warm tickles down my cheek, like a water hose, then I quickly wipe them away. He tucks his gun back in his holster.
