Protecting Her Becomes His Mission; Resisting Her Becomes Impossible.

Secrets and lies collide in this upcoming explosive Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.

Rowena Smith may be a top-shelf librarian, but solid investigative skills won’t keep her safe after her newest research project—tracking down her biological father—leads her to a brutally murdered body. The scene offers up one hope for assistance: the card of FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kurt Montana. Alone and terrified in a foreign country, Rowena places the call.

About to board a flight home after a failed mission, Kurt can’t ignore the plea in Rowena’s voice. She could be the killer or she could be an innocent bystander—either way, he senses she holds information vital to his case. When Kurt’s flight takes off without him—only to crash into the African savanna killing everyone onboard—he knows it’s no coincidence. Rowena saved his life.

Review | 3.5 stars
I liked this addition to the series. It wasn’t by favorite by any means, but I also didn’t hate it. I actually really liked both of the MC’s. I loved how protective the MC was over the heroine. He didn’t even really know her at first and he still protected her. I love my mc with these kinds of character traits. 

I also really liked how the heroine tried her best to protect the hero to even though she didn’t really know what she was doing.

The age gap didn’t really bother me. I was fine with it. 

Safety 
Safe. No OW/OM drama.

Release Blitz | Join the Club (KPD SWAT Gen 2.0, #7) | Lani Lynn Vale

 
Release Date: July 14
 
 
There are a few lessons one has to learn for themselves. Then there are the lessons that most people don’t have to learn because it’s just not done.
 
 
For instance, most people know instinctively that they shouldn’t crave the mother of their brother’s child.
 
Bourne Pena isn’t most men.
 
 
 
Bourne does everything he can to fight the attraction he feels for Delanie, but in the end, his refusal to go there almost ends up costing him his life.
 
 
 
***
 
 
 
Delanie Davidsdottir just wanted to forget. One night, she wanted to feel like a normal human being.
 
 
 
That one night changes her life and gives her a son that becomes her heart and soul. From that point forward, she does her level best to keep her head on straight and not make any more mistakes.
 
 
 
And falling for her child’s father's twin brother—say that three times fast— would be a mistake. Not only is he Trouble with a capital T, he’s also a SWAT officer that puts his life on the line every single day.
 
 
 
She can’t take another loss like the one she suffered once before.
 
 
 
Then again, Delanie never encountered a man like Bourne Pena before, either.

Review | 3.5 stars

Delanie was not my favorite of the twins. I was wasn’t the biggest fan of her personality and she did something towards the end of the book that officialy pissed me off. 

 

Out of the brothers, Bourne was my favorite. He is everything i love in my heroes. He was loyal, protective, and so sweet.  He stepped up and helped Delanie with Asa when Booth was gone. He was in a intense and purposes Asa’s dad. 

 

Overall, i loved Booth. Delanie was my favorite. She pissed me off. 

She was a bitch to Booth towards the end of the book and i haven’t forgiven her for that. She should have been the one to apologize to Booth and not the other way around.

Release Blitz | Breathless | Lex Martin

 
 
 
 
 
Title: Breathless
A Texas Nights Series Standalone
 
Author: Lex Martin
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 
 
 Release Date: February 18, 2020
 
 
 
Blurb
 
Joey
 
I wouldn’t say I ran away exactly—twenty-two is too old for that.
 
I’d call it self-preservation.
 
I have one objective: protect my heart from the boy next door who has no clue I’ve loved him my whole life, even with a front row seat to his revolving bedroom door.
 
My escape plan almost worked.
 
Except I left one thing behind.
 
Logan Carter hijacked my heart, and now it’s time to get it back. This time for good.
 
 
Logan
 
I wouldn’t say I’ve been lying this whole time—not about everything.
 
Not about how much I miss my best friend, and definitely not about how pissed I am that she left with hardly a goodbye.
 
She’s the last person I ever expected to ghost me, and her absence left a gaping hole in my chest.
 
When Joey Grayson steps off that bus, I know I’ll do anything to keep her home, and that means finding out the truth.
 
But I’m not sure how to tell her my truths when I’m living so many lies.

It’s been awhile since i’ve read a  Lex Martin book. I enjoyed Joey and Logan’s book. 
I love best friends to lovers trope.  
I really liked them as a couple. They were cute.
The plot twist wasn’t what i was expecting either. But, none the less it worked out.
Overall, it was a good entertaining book. I think i liked the previous two books a little better.

Title: Love at The Bluebird
Authors: Aurora Rose Reynolds & Jessica Marin Publisher: Boom Factory Publishing LLC
Genre: Contemporary Romance Release Date: January 31, 2020
 
Blurb
              With a hit song
sitting at number one on the country music charts, Gavin McNeer thought he finally had everything he ever wanted.
All it takes is one look from the mesmerizing woman sitting in the front row at one of his shows and a brief encounter to make him realize just what he’s been missing. Even though he’s been burnt in the past, Gavin puts his inhibitions aside and his heart on the line to earn the trust of the woman who could be his everything.
 
Working in an industry where relationships start and end in the blink of an eye, Alyson Dawson has made it her mission not to get mixed up with musicians, no matter how good-looking they are. Keeping her focus on her blossoming career and clients, Aly doesn’t even have time to date much less fall in love. That is until she meets Gavin, a man who changes everything with one smoldering look.
 
Just when these two begin to settle into their new relationship, Aly is asked to do something that may require her to choose between the career she’s building and the man she’s falling in love with. To make things worse, Gavin’s ex decides to add a touch of drama to an already delicate situation.
 
Will their love survive, or become just another sad love song? 
 
 
 
Review | 3.5 stars
I love that cover. Its so pretty. 
I enjoyed the book, but i didn’t like it as much as some of her other ones. 
I thought the characters were okay. Some more than others. 
I liked that this one was revolved around music and Tennessee. 
And I will say that I like her books with suspense more than this one. I guess I’m just a suspense kind of girl. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Ex girlfriend drama? No thank you. 
Overall, it was okay. Nothing really made me love it, but i also didn’t hate it. 
Aurora is one of my all time favorite authors. 
I think if you do love her books you should definitely give it a try. It’s not terrible by any means.

Title: One Last Wish Series: Shooting Stars #3

Blurb
Finding out my husband, my best friend, only had months to live was devastating. Sitting out under the star-filled sky, listening to him wish on star after star, night after night, almost killed me. He never wished to get better. He wished for me to be happy. He wished for me to find the strength to move on. I told him his wishes were pointless, because happiness wouldn’t exist without him. I found out soon after he passed away that I was pregnant. But I had no idea his final wish would bring me something I never thought I’d find again.

Review | 3.5 stars
I knew from the start about what the book was about from the beginning but it doesn't really prepare you for it. It was very sad and you definitely felt the emotions while reading the book. 
 
My issue was the how the heroine kept pushing and pushing the hero away. I didn't like it and she did something that pissed me off. She hurt the hero on purpose when he's been nothing but sweet and understanding the whole time.
 
The hero was awesome. I would love to read more books with a hero just like this one was. Overall I enjoyed the book. I loved the hero and their families and I loved the heroine's little girl.

Release Blitz | Bound by Wreckage (Ravage MC Bound, #5) Ryan Michele


**SYNOPSIS** Lennox “Nox” Cruz can’t turn his back. No matter the collateral damage, he can’t walk away. He simply isn’t that kind of man. Carsyn Devero is in too deep. The skeletons in her closet come out daily to remind her of the past she can’t escape. A chance encounter brings a boy who is now a man back into her world. As much as she knows she needs to walk away, Nox won’t let her. She’s stuck and doesn’t want to drag him down into her storm. He’s relentless and refuses to let her fall. They’re bound by the wreckage, only holding onto hope no one else will go down with them. With Ravage MC at his back, will they find their way out to a future together?  
 

Review | 3.5 stars 
I enjoyed this book. The last book left off on a cliffhanger so I was glad that was resolved. I was also very curious about Nox's character. 

And like previous books, there's always stuff going down with the club. I actually really like this because it's definitely never boring at Ravage. So it's safe to say there's definitely suspense happening in this book.

Now, there was one thing I did find annoying and that was the situation the heroine was in. I wanted to shove my foot up her ass and tell her she was better than how she was handling a certain situation. 

And of course we are left with another's cliffy and I'm really looking forward to Rylynn's book. Her book is probably the one I'm most looking forward too. She sounds like such a badass and her parents are my favorite out of Ravage. 

Overall, it was definitely good, but the heroine did drive me a little nuts and I felt like Nox and Carsyn didn't have that much time together throughout the book. I wished we would have gotten more of them on the page.
