Blurb:

From USA Today best-selling author Willow Winters comes a heart-wrenching, edge-of-your-seat, gripping romantic suspense.
I own this town. The deals, the cash flow, the corruption - I decide it all. Blood and violence taints everything I claim. She was a constant through it all, and she never knew how badly I needed her. Just a touch would singe and soothe. Just a look would tempt and torment. She was too good for this world. I was too much of a bastard to push her away. She became my escape and my addiction.
It was only a matter of time before the danger bled into what we had. I should’ve known better than to indulge. I should’ve known better than to let her fall for me. There isn’t anything I touch that doesn’t crumble into dust and ash. Touching Laura was her downfall. Problem was, it was mine, too.

  

My Review:

Hard to Love by W. Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Hard to Love Series, a dark romance. Wow! This is an amazing introduction to this trilogy. The characters are great. Laura is a wonderful woman, strong, and smart. Seth is a powerful man, protective, and alpha. They share a strong and sizzling chemistry. The world building is well done, and captivating. The storyline is well written, intriguing, filled with danger, mystery, and twists and turns. The suspense unfold at a great pace, and ends with an unpredictable cliffhanger. Now, I can't wait to listen to the next book in the Series, Desperate to Touch, to know what happens next. Joe Arden and Samantha Cook did an outstanding job with the narration. They are both perfect as Seth and Laura. I love their voices together. I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it.

Review: Random Acts of New Year By Julia Kent

RANDOM ACTS OF NEW YEAR 

Author: Julia Kent

Release date: December 31, 2019

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Book Blurb:

The ball and the book both drop on New Year’s Eve!

New Year’s Eve. Times Square. I booked the room over a year ago, with the view of the ball dropping. I’ll propose to Charlotte and drop to my knee at the stroke of midnight.

At least, that’s the plan.

But nothing in my life ever goes as planned. Between a last-minute gig that takes me away from her, a blast-from-the-past boyfriend of Charlotte’s, and the resurrection of Esme the blow-up doll, I have to fight for my right —

To make her my wife.

Charlotte. Not Esme. Because that's just gross, man. What's wrong with you?

Liam is finally ready to pop the question to Charlotte after years together, but a last-minute gig and a heaping dose of fate in the form of Darla makes the road to marriage a little bumpier than expected.

Welcome to the Random series, where people propose to chickens, snakes fall in love with blow-up dolls, cell phones become medical devices, and love conquers all, in tune and with three-part harmony.

My Review:

Random Acts of New Year by Julia Kent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the tenth book in the Random Series. I haven't read the previous books, and I know I missed something great. This novella is sweet, sexy, and absolutely hilarious! Liam is handsome, sexy, caring, and possessive. Charlotte is a lovely character, fun, sassy, and smart. They are great together, and they share a sizzling chemistry. I love all about this story: The characters, the fun storyline, the sexy scenes, the familiy spirit, and the parent's craziness, the wonderful friendship between the band's members. They are hilarious! I love the ending. I enjoyed reading it, and I highly recommend it. Looking forward to read the other books in the Series.

Audiobook Review: Fighting for Valor By Patricia D. Eddy

Fighting for Valor
Series: Away from Keyboard, Book 6
By: Patricia D. Eddy
Narrated by: Aiden Snow, Grace Grant
Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins  

https://www.audible.com/pd/Fighting-for-Valor-Audiobook/B082SXKYL5

Blurb:

val·or: great bravery in the face of danger, especially in battle.
Once, Jackson Richards had it in spades. As a member of the United States Special Forces, he fought alongside the bravest and most capable men he’d ever known. Then one mistake landed them all in hell.
For six months, he fought. But one terrible day, his captors learned the full extent of his skills, and that sealed his fate.
Tortured and broken in conditions that made hell look like a five-star resort, Jackson Richards died, and Isaad was born. Shaped into a weapon for the wrong side, he’d forgotten who he once was. Who he was meant to be. Until the day his captor imprisoned Joey Taylor.
Helping Joey and her marine escape reminded Jackson of the man he used to be. And now, he’ll fight. For himself. For the friends he thought he lost in hell. And for Cara. The woman with a secret he can’t ignore.
If he’s strong enough, he’ll leave Isaad behind. Maybe, then, he can take back his true name.
Ripper.

Warning: This book contains scenes of torture and implied sexual violence that may be disturbing to sensitive listeners.

My Review:
 
Fighting For Valor by Patricia D. Eddy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fighting for Valor is the sixth book in the Away From Keyboard Series, a Military Romance. I love this Series so much. You can read this story as a standalone, but believe me, you don't want to miss one book in this Series. I would love to have the words to express how I love this story/Series, and convince you to listen to it.

This emotional story is beautifully written. My heart broke to pieces for Ripper and Cara. Ripper is an amazing character, damaged, but strong, protective and caring. Cara is a beautiful character, also damaged, but strong, supportive, resourceful, and caring. The storyline is intriguing and suspenseful. I love the ending. It was amazing to see the previous characters in the Series together, with Ripper and Cara. They share a precious and wonderful brotherhood. They truly are a family. Charlie, the German Shepherd, is an amazing addition to this beautiful family.

Aiden Snow and Grace Grant did an outstanding job with the narration. Aiden Snow's performance is absolutely breathtaking as Ripper.

I HIGHLY recommend this audiobook, and the entire Series. If you like Military Romance or Romantic Suspense, this Series if for you!

Angels, witches, and vampires. Three magical Christmas romance tales that will take you back in time and leave you breathless.

Spell of Snow - by S. J. PierceNarrated by Shaina Summerville

Life can be a witch...

Six years ago, I discovered my powers - I can make flowers bloom. But in a world where anything magical is met with judgement and swinging from a rope, I have to be careful... until one day I wasn't. The Witch Hunters have been alerted, and now no one, including my loved ones, can save me.

My name is Rosanna Frey, Snow Queen of Ipswich, and this is my story.


Christmas Savior - by Jo MichaelsNarrated by Erin Rieman

Angel Victoria is on a mission from God: Save the illegitimate royal Catherine Carey from the dark ones.

Vampire Vance is on a mission from the head vampress, Cleopatra: Bring Catherine Carey into the coven so she can lead them to victory over the humans.

When the angel and the vampire meet, sparks fly. A bird may love a fish, too, but where do they reside? 


Immortal Faith - by Tia Silverthorne Bach
Narrated by Tim Paige

Sometimes, faith is all that's required.

Lucent has lost everything: his mortality, his hope, and the love of his life. His faith is wavering, but he clings to it like a lifeline. When he meets a beautiful witch who makes his dead heart skip a beat, he fights choosing between the brightness of hope and the darkness he's become accustomed to.

Holidays past brought great loss and heartache, but a witch just might bring him a Christmas miracle.

ALL proceeds from this anthology are being donated to Accelerated Cure Project in support of MS research and education.


My Review:
This is a great paranormal and magical Holiday Romance Anthology, filled with with angels, witches, and vampires! The characters are great and intriguing. The stories are well written, short but well developed, fast-paced, and captivating. The narrators did a great job with the narration.

Solomon’s Surrender By Michelle Dare

Release Blitz Hosted by Audiobook Obsession PR

Blurb:

Cocky. No word better described Solomon.

He projected the playboy image, but only he knew the truth. Deep inside, he wanted what his brother and friends had - a mate.

Fifteen hundred years was a long time to be alone. Solomon’s pure vampire bloodline and family name made him desirable, but that didn’t take away the loneliness.

Lilah was fiercely independent and distrusting of paranormals out of necessity. Some treated her with contempt because of her half cheetah shifter/half fae heritage. They thought she was beneath them when she was actually superior.

Someone was determined to take Lilah’s life, but who was behind the attacks remained a mystery. Solomon fought off the first assault then became Lilah’s sole protector until he uncovered who wanted to harm her.

One wanted a mate, and the other didn’t. But fate didn’t ask for their opinion.

They could only fight what was meant to be for so long before the inevitable happened. If they managed to stay alive, maybe they would learn what it meant to be fated.
