A short read as a prequel to “Love Painted in Red”. A story about a young girl who falls in love with a young man that her father doesn’t  approve of. She gets pregnant and wants to tell her father, but she is afraid because her father is a man that has to have control of his life and his family.

Eva May is only 19 years old, but she’s pregnant and wants to marry her babies father, whom she loves. She believes he is the only man for her and doesn’t want to upset her father, but she doesn’t think that she can walk away from her love and give up her child. After losing her mother recently, she feels that her life is moving on for the better. Eva May decides that she can’t walk away from her new life, so she walks away from her father and her family instead. Did she make the right choice? Will her choice cost her everything?

I liked the way this story was written. I know it was a prequel, but it not only set up the next story “Love Painted in Red”, it also had you wanting to read the next story to see what was going to happen.

Eric is a Dom without a permanent sub. He’s interested in Lilith, and has played with her and her Dom, Gaige, but she is really only interested in Master Gaige. Eric is approached by Calla, the resident shrink at The Cage, and asked to train a new sub who wants to get into the life style. Eric reluctantly agrees to train her, but only because Calla pretty much badgered him into it.

Elizabeth wants to get into the BDSM lifestyle and worked two jobs and saved her money to gain the membership for herself and her boyfriend, Jerry. They joined The Cage as a couple to go through the Dom/sub training, but Jerry decided he wanted a sexier looking sub to work with, so he broke up with Elizabeth . What he didn’t know was that as a single Dom, he would go through a different training, and it would not be with a sub.

Elizabeth is paired up with Eric for a month of training. The training is going well and they are beginning to make a connection and find a good place in their pairing, until Jerry decides he wants Elizabeth back and threatens everything in her world. This threat creates a train reaction of events that could end in a real tragedy, and it could also ruin the relationship that is building between Elizabeth and Eric.

This book kept me wanting to turn the pages. The twists in the book kept me from wanting to put the book down. I hated for it to end though. I enjoyed reading Elizabeth and Eric’s story. I love a man with a deep voice, and when Elizabeth described Eric’s voice and how it made her shiver, I was hooked. The characters in this story and series are great. The fact that they are like a family and help each other out is great.

The men in this series are Hot Alpha’s who take care of the women they love and will go to any length to make sure that they are safe. If they fail, it would crush them. I give this story a 4.5 star rating.

I loved this book. Amalie is a strong girl who puts herself through a lot of torment after an accident takes her hearing and the freedom of her then boyfriend Caiden. Amalie takes the burden of the accident on herself and feels that she does not deserve any happiness or good in her life. Caiden plays this as much as he can with Amalie. He is a manipulator and knows all of the buttons to push with Amalie to upset her and break her down.

Music is Amalie’s escape from her torment and she gets an offer to tour and play with a Country singer, Scarlett. She finds herself in more trouble because Scarlett’s ex-boyfriend is out to hurt them both. Amalie and Scarlett are being protected by the Iron Fury MC after they were attacked by Treyton, Scarlett’s ex. Amalie meets Malakai, the president of Iron Fury, and they both feel an attraction to each other quickly.

I read this book pretty quickly. The pages turned easily and quickly, too quickly. I hated for the book to end, but I was pleased with the ending. I think I need to go and read “Whiskey Burning” now. I want to read all of Maverick and Scarlett’s story. Great Job, I give this book a 5 star rating. A beautiful love story between two very different people.

Travis Kincaid is a rigid man who has to have control and a firm routine in order to get through his days. He returns home, leaving the Navy after a mission that went south, and becomes the Police Chief of Prairie, Kansas. His last mission in the Navy was hard and leaves him scarred. Returning to the ranch he was raised on and wants restore it to and start ranching again, but he can’t do it alone. He is a kind man who cares about the people of his small town.He feels as though he has failed his small town when a tornado tears through the town and destroys a large part of the downtown.

Elaine Ryder, is a single mom who is working two jobs to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. She has a past that she is ashamed of and is trying to overcome while raising her 7 year old son, Dax. The tornado devastated Prairie, but the fear that it causes Dax has made him change. The once fun loving little boy has become a quiet scared little boy who has withdrawn into himself.

This book hits a lot of hard subjects and they are handled really well in the story. The characters are scarred, but they are strong and very likable.

I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading the next one in the series when it comes out. I think I need to go back and read Tessa’s “Prairie Heat” series now.

The Hero’s in this series are strong, rugged, sexy, and very Alpha. If you enjoy a story about a Military Hero who is finding his way outside of the service to his country, and a strong woman who has had her share of pain come together to help each other heal, then you should read this book.

Rhys is a single father who is very rich, and philanthropic. He has a daughter, Esme, who is six years old and doesn’t speak to anyone but her father due to a tragedy when she was younger. She sees Melanie and walks up to her and speaks. Melanie doesn’t know how important this is until she meets Rhys and tells him how she met Esme.

Melanie is a single woman working in a diner barely making it. She lives with a waitress that she works with, but she doesn’t have her own room, she sleeps on the couch. The roommate has a boyfriend who is creepy and is always watching Melanie sleep.

Fate and a little girl brought these two together.

This story was a great read. I really liked Rhys and Mel, they are both very strong personalities with their own baggage, but they don’t bring it into their relationship too much. They both deal with it on their own and then as they get to know each other well enough and realize that they are worthy of love, and to have someone beside them to bring out their strengths, they share their past with each other and it helps to make their relationship stronger.

They have some trials and tribulations along the way, and they need to learn trust, but in the end they find their way and become a family.

Definitely a different kind of billionaire  and single father falls for a regular girl and nanny book. Good read. It made me cry in a few places due to circumstances in their lives, but I really liked the book. I read it in one day and didn’t want it to end. If you enjoy a story about life, love, and forever, with some angst thrown in, then Mr. Control is a great choice.

A light, funny, refreshing read. I loved the way this book was written. The characters in this story are well written and fun to get to know.

Marina is a funny young woman who is dealing with a recent divorce from a man she has been married to for several years, Frank. Frank is an unfaithful jerk that treats Marina like she doesn’t matter. Marina’s best friend, Fern, encourages her to write in a journal to help her work through the feelings she has since getting a divorce. Marina doesn’t think it will help much until she begins to write about things that are going on in her daily routine.

In writing in the journal, Marina finds that she is stronger  and more courageous than she thought and that she is desirable, funny, and a great catch.

I look forward to reading more about the characters in this series and finding out about their stories. Especially Trixie’s book. The journal entry about her had me laughing for a while.

I am not generally a Historical Romance reader, but I did enjoy this story.

The Great Family is lives their lives the to the fullest and the way they want without concern for what their Society deems inappropriate. It is refreshing to read about a family like this and see that they are normal and have normal lives even though they are part of royalty. Thomsett and Lilly’s story is touching, rewarding, and courageous. The fact that they have both been hurt, but heal each other, even though they should not be together shows their caring nature and their strength to become survivors.

Thomsett thinks he is broken beyond repair, but finds his strength in Lilly. He also shows Lilly that what broke her was not her fault and that she is worthy of love. He helps her to come out of her shell and re-enter society and take her rightful place in her family. This also brings Thomsett to take his rightful place in society and accept his inheritance.

Enjoyable read, and heart wrenching at times.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Good read. Ronan and Ava both need some help to keep their businesses afloat. Ronan's sister has the solution for both of them. Do they really want to go along with it?

Ronan owns Kingsley Technologies, a company he built from the ground up, but he's having some trouble with finances and needs some money to put into his business before he loses it. Cara, Ronan's younger sister suggests he marry to get access to his inheritance from his grandfather. He only has to convince his socialite step-mother that it's honestly a marriage for love.

Ava is Cara's best friend and college roommate. They are like sisters and have stayed in touch since they graduated college. Ava owns a floral design business and is struggling to keep her business going and pay her bills. She started this business out of college and hates to think of letting it go because she can't pay her bills. Cara introduces Ava to Ronan at a dinner and leaves them on their own to get to know each other. They both decide that Cara's plan won't work.

The characters in this story are both strong willed people who have to work together to gain the success they are looking for. They start out a little rocky, but once they get to know each other and respect each other things begin to get smoother. I enjoyed reading the journey these two take to keep their businesses afloat, and I really liked both the main characters. I look forward to reading more about these two in particular, but about the rest of the family as well in the future.

If you like a book with a strong hero and heroine, but that can show their vulnerability, then this is a good book to read.

A great read that takes place in the 1940’s and 2000’s. I loved the way the book was written to give you a background of what happened during the German occupancy of Guernsey in the 1940’s and goes to current day where we find out who the betrayer was as well as what happened to Leo’s families valuables. The book was well written and moves effortlessly through between the decades.

This was my first time reading Anne Allen, and I now want to go back to read the other books in the Guernsey Novels. The mystery of the belongings found and the rightful owner takes us through the years and how the items came to be hidden as well as their value in present day.

If you enjoy a good mystery and the connections made while trying to figure out who the bad guy is, then this book is a good choice. I give this book 5 stars.

A Great Read!

Two detectives on the Dallas Police force are assigned a case to find the Mayor’s daughter who went missing. Franklin Pierce and Roberto Soliz have been partners for a few years and work well together. They have solved some hard cases, but they don’t always follow the conventional way of solving crimes. The Mayor wants to keep the fact that his daughter has gone missing quiet because he and his wife think it might be a case of their daughter staying with a friend to make a point after she fought with her parents.

Katrina, the daughter of the Mayor of Dallas finds herself in the back of a dirty truck being held down by a man. She doesn’t know where she is being taken, who took her, or why, but she is scared. Little does she know, her nightmare is just beginning. Her sassy attitude and strong will may help her survive this ordeal. Frank Pierce is a man of very few words, he is a thinker and works through things in his own way and figures out cases like he’s working on a puzzle. His mind is always working and his natural instincts can help him solve some of the toughest cases the DPD encounter.

The characters in this book are very well written and draw you in. This was the first book I have read by Larry Enmon, but I really enjoyed it. There were some questions for me that were not answered in the end, but I’m hoping that there will be more to come in another book down the road. If you are a lover of Thrillers, Crime, or Suspense, then you will enjoy this book. I give this book 5 stars.
