Years ago, Rolling Stone magazine dubbed the nine collective children of the most famous band in the world “Rock Royalty.” Now all grown up, the princes and princesses are coming back to L.A.’s Laurel Canyon to discover if love can be found among the ruins of a childhood steeped in sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll.

CEO Walsh Hopkins relies on his admin Honey Brooks as his “second brain.” He trusts the efficient young woman with everything—from his company secrets to his social calendar. When a business conference at a beachside resort comes up, of course he assumes she’ll be by his side. But he’s taken aback when his dependable assistant balks at the chance to blend work and pleasure.

Honey Brooks has been crushing on her boss for years. No way does she want to torture herself further by spending time with him in a romantic surf-and-sand setting. But he overrules her objections and under the tropical sun their platonic boss-secretary relationship takes a drastic turn. They promise each other that upon the return home their relationship will return to normal too… But some promises are impossible to keep.

Also Available in the Rock Royalty Series:
Light My Fire (#1)
Love Her Madly (#2)
Break On Through (#3)
Touch Me (#4)

Review of “Roses & Thorns”, by Bry Ann

Roses & Thorns

This is a great story! I had a hard time putting this book down. It drew me in right away and kept me turning the pages to find out what was going to happen next. As bad as it sounds, I really liked Sven, even though he was manipulative and dark.

Sven Xander is a man who knows what he wants, and will do what it takes to get it. He is in the Mafia as a soldier, but he wants to move up. He knows that he has to plan things just right to get where he wants to be.

Rose Bellemore is a nurse working in a psychiatric hospital. She lives for her job. She has a dark past that she is running from and trying to avoid. Her patients give her the only joy in her life.

This is a dark romance story. There are a lot of people in this story that are dark and twisted, but the fact that the Boss and Sven have a soft side is great! They both find the one woman who can bring that side out in them. While these women seem to be doormats, in reality, they are very strong women and they stand up to these men. They may be scared to death while doing it, but they do it none the less. These women have been through a lot but they are still compassionate and kind. I give this story a 4.5 star review and I look forward to the next book in the series.

I’m a bodyguard. I walk softly and carry a big…stick.

Too bad I have no idea how to use it.

I know what you’re thinking. How the hell do you end up a virgin when you live in a city known for easy access?

But my focus is protecting the women of New York…not fulfilling my every desire.

Then I meet her.

Review of “The Wolf’s Prize: Hinterland Book 4”, by K. T. Harding

I enjoyed this series and enjoyed the twists and turns that are in the story. The anticipation kept me reading even when I shouldn’t have been, but I needed to find out what was going to happen.

Raleigh Douglas had some hard decisions to make in this final book. She faced a lot of things that she dreaded and yet she came out on top of it. Her life will never be the same again. The people she loves will cause her to question her beliefs and her life.

Bishop is back, but he has a lot to overcome as well. After being rescued and the torture he went through while he was a captive, has left him damaged and he has to make a decision when it comes to saving his life. Will he agree to it or not?

This was the final book in the Hinterland Series. I hated to see it end. There is still more to find out about Bishop and Raleigh, and now we are introduced to Ilkha. How will she fair working with Raleigh. Will her life turn out like Raleigh’s or will it be different. I give this story a 4 star review. I wish there were more to come. With the changes that Bishop and Raleigh went through in this story, there have to be more changes to come in Hinterland as well.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Toni Aleo, comes a spin off series from the Assassins: The Bellevue Bullies!

Jude Sinclair here, hockey player for the Bellevue Bullies and lover of all ladies. Hockey’s in my blood, and not to sound full of myself, but I’m good at it…really good. The draft is within my reach—it’s mine to take—but that’s not the only reason people know my name. They know me because of my way with women. They know the score, and I aim to please. I just tend to stay away from repeat performances. In other words, I don’t do relationships beyond my family and friends. I’m happy with life. However, I should warn you that my story and how I see it playing out is about to change due to a certain redhead on campus.
She’s beautiful. Stunning. Breathtaking.
She’s my game changer.
***
He’s trouble from the moment I see him. I don’t know what I’m thinking, but from the moment I meet his gaze, I’m his. It’s a scary feeling.
I’ve never trusted anyone outside my aunt and uncle—and even that took months. I didn’t have it easy growing up. My mom was usually strung out, and she didn’t give me a second thought. Drugs and the men who paid her were more important to her. It was horrible, but I’m stronger today. Because of my past, security is what I need most. Money assures me that I can take care of myself today, tomorrow, and next month. I don’t want to ever be hungry or go without again, so I work hard for every penny.
Oh, by the way, I’m Claire Anderson. I’m a hard-studying sophomore at the University of Bellevue, dancer for the school dance team, and a burlesque dancer at a club, but that’s my secret.
You may think you know how our story ends, but you have no clue. It’s not easy falling in love… or living happily ever after. At first it may seem so, but when is anything worth having ever won without a fight?
Especially when you’re boarded by love.

She’s ready to dig in her spurs and hang on tight.

Review of “The Penance List: The David Trilogy”, by S. C. Cunningham @rararesources @SCCunningham

Wow! I did not expect that ending.

“This one comes with a warning – a steamy suspense-ridden psychological thriller – think Silence of the Lambs meets 50 Shades and hold on tight! S C Cunningham writes with a skilled mix of fueled tension, dark humour and pulsating sex scenes. Grab a glass of wine, close the bedroom door and read alone!” This is from the blog tour material I received. I have to agree with every word! This story had me cringing, getting excited, and getting upset while reading it.

David Howard, a young boy who is sent to boarding school and is too pretty for his own good. He has had a lot of bad things happen to him and to cope, he has turned to the dark side. His love for his sister, Helen’s best friend, Tara is thrown back at him by Tara after she receives a letter confessing his love.

Tara Warr is a bit older and does not carry the same feelings for David as he carries for her. She feels that they are both too young to know what love is and in her reply letter to David she tells him that she is not the woman for him. Unfortunately, this is just another thing to push David over the edge.

I enjoyed reading this book and I look forward to the next in the series. This was my first read of S. C. Cunningham’s books, but I look forward to reading more. I loved the characters in this story. Seb, Franco, Michael and Anton were great and fun to read. Helen is a little off…Josie, I am unsure of still.

Great job! I give this book 4.5 stars and look forward to reading more of the trilogy.

What I am reading currently and what is coming up.

The Penance List-3D-19x

Title: The Penance List: The David Trilogy Book 1

The Penance List
This one comes with a warning – a steamy suspense-ridden psychological thriller – think Silence of the Lambs meets 50 Shades and hold on tight! S C Cunningham writes with a skilled mix of fuelled tension, dark humour and pulsating sex scenes. Grab a glass of wine, close the bedroom door and read alone!

I am currently reading this one and should finish and review by tonight. It is a really good story and I highly recommend it if you like psychological thrillers or dark romance. It has been hard to put it down once I start reading it, but I had to so that I could finish my course work. Now I can finish the book.

Next up will be:

Title: The Wolf’s Prize: Hinterland Series Book 4
Author: K. T. Harding
Genre: Paranormal Romance

I am looking forward to reading this one. I’ve read the other books in the series and have really enjoyed them. There is so much more than paranormal romance in this series in my opinion.

 

Next up will be:

Roses & Thorns by [Ann, Bry]

Title: Roses and Thorns
Author: Bry Ann
Genre: Dark Romance

I look forward to reading this one. It looks good from the blurb.

One Rose.
One prisoner.
A crime boss.
… and a man determined to overthrow him.

All I wanted was to help women. Free them of their demons. Until he walks in. See, the treatment center I worked at was my home. The only one I’d known since I was seventeen.

I knew we’d opened a men’s unit. I got the honor of being head tech. He was a criminal. I was warned, prepared, professional. I knew it’d be hard… because of who my father is. I thought I was prepared.

I was anything but prepared.
I was taken.
Treasured.
Twisted by a criminal I swore I would never love.

Two love stories wrapped up in crime. In blood. Delivery.

Trigger Warning: This is a DARK romance. There is language, violence, sexual content and abuse.

 

I have more in the que, but will end with these for now.

 

 

April Wrap Up and Apologies

I am so sorry for being MIA lately, but I have been finishing up my course work for my Biology 004 class. This was my final class of my college career and I had a lab with it, so I had to take more time away from my reading and posting for this semester. However, I finished the class, completed my labs, took the exam and now I am just waiting for the grades to be posted. With good luck and hopefully enough hard work, I have passed the class and will graduate on May 20, 2018 with my BA in English and a minor in Psychology.

April was a busy month with my class finishing up and I am the Administrative Assistant for the Mechanical Engineering Department at our local University. With the duties I have on a daily basis, I also had to organize and plan our Board of Advisor’s Meeting and our Senior Design Night Gala, and our honors award presentations, all on the same day. Senior Design Night is where our Senior Engineering students present their capstone design for their culmination of their college education. They take two semesters of Senior Design, working with a company, the medical center, or faculty at our University to come up with a solution to a problem and make it work. There are some really great projects and great ideas. Some of the companies that we work with are well known companies.

I have also gone back to eating healthy and following Weight Watchers since last May. In the past year, I have lost 60 pounds. I have a ways to go yet, but I am happy with the results and I feel much better. My blood pressure has gone down as well as my cholesterol. I went off for one day this week because I needed to celebrate being done my class, but I’m not worried. I’ll be back to following it again and losing again soon.

I am sorry for my ramblings, but I felt a couple of explanations were warranted for my being away and not posting as much lately. I am hoping to be back up and posting regularly this coming week. I am also doing a post of what I am completing and what will be up next. I have a large TBR, that I will probably never get through, but I love to read and will do it as much as I can.

I want to wish everyone a great weekend and hope that the weather is beautiful where you are so that you can enjoy it. We had tornado warnings last night in Vermont, but where I am in Northern Vermont, we only had some heavy winds and rain. I hope that if you are in the path of severe weather that you and your family are safe. Have a great day!
