Our thoughts...
K.A. Tucker has done it again. Surviving Ice is a well-plotted
novel with just the right balance of suspense and romance. The final book in
the Burying Water series revolves around Ivy and Sebastian (aka Ice). Their
paths cross under unsavory terms but strong moral compasses lead them out of
the dark together.

I loved this book, and I love this author. Walk Through Fire is another great motorcycle
club book that just does all the right things for me. I love MC books, but Kristen sure knows how to
write them!
Early Review: The Queen by Tiffany Reisz
Series: The Original Sinners #8
Author: Tiffany Reisz
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
Publisher: MIRA

Rating: 4 Stars
Our thoughts...
Every book in The Original Sinners series has a different
feel and approach while staying true to the characters and story.
Each book has its own unique flare while the sum of the series remains
cohesive. All four book in The White Years take place in the past and present.
The first three books tended to visit both fairly equally, whereas The Queen is
centered mostly in the past with the present only coming into play in the
beginning and the end, which caused a bit of a challenge for my old-woman
brain. When the story moved back to the present at the end of the book I found
myself needing to reread a bit of the beginning to help reset the scene.
Cover Reveal: Licked by Brooke Blaine
Licked by Brooke Blaine
Date of Publication: November 11, 2015
Blurb
As the owner of Licked, an eclectic ice creamery and bar, Ryleigh Phillips doesn't have time for that love stuff. Serving up Nibble My Nuts sundaes and Drunken Sailor boozy shakes are as close to an orgasmic affair as she's had in months thanks to her expanding empire—until the night of her ten-year high school reunion.
When Ryleigh's crush, gorgeous ex-football god Cameron Mathis, comes streaking into her life (literally—streaking), she begins to wonder if she really can have it all.
Wouldn't it just figure that the moment you think life is perfect is when it falls spectacularly apart?
Enter Hunter Morgan, the contractor in charge of Licked's renovations. Devastatingly handsome, and a smartass to boot, he's got his eyes on Ryleigh from the moment he finds her passed out on his couch (yeah, that's a long story). There's just one tiny complication—he happens to be Cameron's best friend.
When the lines between relationships and friendships blur, and it's impossible to choose between two delicious flavors, what's a girl to do? Taste a sample of each? Or go out and get LICKED?

I had no idea I was going to like this story as much as I did. I haven’t read a Jamie McGuire book in years. A wonderful reading friend sent me a signed paperback of Beautiful Redemption and it’s sat on my shelf for months. I’ve been in the mood to read a paperback, so I picked the book up, and I wasn’t able to put it down.
Review: The Bourbon Kings by J.R. Ward

Our thoughts...
Sluggish ~ Grandiose ~ Foundational
This book is like “The Little Engine That Could.” The first fifty pages are rough and disjointed, randomly flashing back at unnatural but convenient times. There is a lot of eluding and not enough happening. The story tries to find its footing but just can’t gain any momentum. It takes Ward about 100 pages to find her flow and really start to take the story/stories somewhere worthwhile. The shift in writing quality makes me wonder if she took a writing break. Everything after the first 100 pages is different in flow, personality, and quality of storytelling and manages to turn a turbulent beginning into a fine finish.
Release Day Blitz & Excerpt: Betrayal by Aleatha Romig
One week. No future. No past. No more.
Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no
ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing
herself as "Charli," she is knocked off her feet by a sexy,
mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined. With her
heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear
in the bright light of day.
"Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I
understand that.”
Lennox "Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident,
and decisive—he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an
exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make
the rules, together they agree on one:
One week. No more.
When betrayal comes from those closest to
Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices
are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After
all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.
"Is it really cheating if you're doing it to
yourself?"
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants,
and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha Romig
twists, turns, deceptions, and devotions, this new epic dark romance will have
readers swooning one minute and screaming the next. Have you been Aleatha'd?
BETRAYAL is a full-length
novel and the first of five in the INFIDELITY series.
