It’s all part of her rock and roll fantasy

August 14, 2017 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

I’m sure we’ve all that fantasy that if we meet the celebrity crush of our dreams, that he/she would be instantly smitten and you’d ride off into the sunset together for the lusty happily ever after.  That is basically the plot of this book.  Hazel has just turned 30, has a hot chef boyfriend (Wylie) and the job of her dreams working for a video game company.   Already she has it made, but she’s always had a big crush on rock god Finn of […]

August 10, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

From Goodreads: Elle Burns is a former slave with a passion for justice and an eidetic memory.

Widow author and bad boy rock star – the book is really good!

August 10, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Kate Mosely is a widow living alone and rather lonely in the little town of Crowell, Montana. She more or less runs the local newspaper she inherited from her father (with help from his old business partner), but her small claim to fame is writing a novel that’s become a bestseller, much thanks to her persistent and aggressive literary agent, Stephen. Now, hoping to create more buzz for the book, as well as spurring Kate into writing a second novel, he’s booked her on several […]

Lucky #13

August 9, 2017 by TylerDFC Leave a Comment

Writing a mystery with no solution is an easy thing to do. All you need is some inscrutable pieces of information and no way for a reader, or the characters, to be able to piece the whole thing together in a way that brings satisfaction. Bad writers do this kind of thing all the time and try to pass it off as enigmatic. It takes a master to write a mystery with no solution and still make the journey feel worthwhile to the reader. That […]

Long lost love returns

August 9, 2017 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

This is the last book in the Sinful Suitors series, and returns a long lost character back to England.  There had been mentions of him in previous books in the series, so I was interested to see how it would play out.  Niall Lindsay, Earl of Margrave, has been in exile for seven years after killing a man in a duel.  He was a young man at the time, and the duel was over the man raping his sister Clarissa, a fact that his family […]

“Everybody feels better when there’s cake”

August 8, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Milo Pine lives at the large and sprawling Greenglass House with his adopted parents, Nora and Ben. The house is an inn that tends to cater to smugglers and other people not always on the right side of the law, but during the Christmas season, it’s normally empty and quiet and Milo is looking forward to a few weeks of relaxation and quiet with his family. His parents are extremely surprised and Milo rather annoyed when they seem to be absolutely inundated with guests only […]
