Review: GAME OF LOVE by Melissa Foster

Game of Love

The Remington’s Book One

Melissa Foster

 

 

Blurb

Ellie Parker is a master at building walls around her heart. In the twenty-five years she’s been alive, Dex Remington has been the only person who has always believed in her and been there for her. But four years earlier, she came to Dex seeking comfort and then disappeared like a thief in the night, leaving him a broken man.

Dex Remington is one of the top PC game developers in the United States. He’s handsome, smart, and numb. So damn numb that he’s not sure he’ll ever find a reason to feel again.

A chance encounter sparks intense desires in Ellie and Dex. Desires that make her want to run—and make him want to feel. A combination of lust and fear leads these young lovers down a dangerous path. Is it possible to cross a burned bridge, or are they destined to be apart forever?

Review:

As unorthodox as it may be, I am starting this review with the rating.....  5 STARS!!!!

 

I mean really....I fell in love with Dex by the end of the first chapter.  He is focused, successful, family oriented and handsome as far as my mind is telling me :)   He had a strict and disciplined upbringing but was unlucky in love.  Unlucky in the way he'd fallen hard and gotten is heart broken. 

Then...by the end of the second chapter, I felt for Ellie and adored her at the same time.  Unfortunately, she was the reason for Dex's broken heart.  I still couldn't hate her because she'd had a horrible childhood.  Dex had always been there for her whether she wanted or needed him or not.  She was fiercely independent despite her feelings for Dex.

This is one you won't wanna miss, trust me!  Such a great start to the Remington series and yay Melissa Foster....I can't wait to read more!

For his part, Jack can't seem to forget how she nearly ruined him when she took off without even saying good-bye all those years ago, but he's afraid his baser needs will destroy Callie.

Review

 

Talk about HOT!  Caught is a quick contemporary read with Characters you can believe who engage in with some great sex scenes ;)  I loved both Jack and Callie.  I'll admit too, I'm a sucker for those lost love, found again romances so I was rooting for a HEA from the very beginning.  They definitely had issues to work through but with a little communication, understanding and forgiveness, there might just be a chance. 

 

I'm not always a big fan of BDSM but it wasn't overbearing in this story, very well written.  Cassandra Carr is a top notch, I-have-to-read-more-from-her Author that will permanently be on my list !  5 stars to you Ms. Carr!!

Review: Taking Chances by SJ Maylee

Taking Chances

by: S.J. Maylee


Blurb: Lydia's father walked away from her when she was eight. She's struggled to not let him affect her, but fears she wasn't loveable enough to make him stay. Jake wants to love one woman, but after scaring the last woman he met outside of the club, he doubts he deserves the right. She protects her heart by sticking with her fantasies and he lives by a set of rules that excludes women who choose a vanilla lifestyle.

The two will be kept in a conference room working together until their special project is complete. If Lydia and Jake hold tight to their bland lives, they'll always yearn for love that is out of reach. Together they find common ground, passion, and a reason to take chances. Once they discover the grand possibilities of the love they desire, they find themselves in the very place they tried never to be again, facing unguaranteed loved.

My Review:   I'm a firm believer in Taking Chances.  Sometimes it's plainly a necessity in life.  However, with that said, I would have done the shrinking violet in my chair the same way Lydia did in the board room, especially if I were trying to not be noticed by the guy I'd been having fantasies about. 

Now as for Jake, he's just a yummy character and I found it very endearing that for as strong and domineering a person as he is, he's just as nervous as she is to be in the same room together.  Alone. I'm sure you can just imagine the things going through both their minds :)

The discovery of getting to know someone is very much taking a chance.  These two complex characters did a stellar job of focusing on the task at hand while they multi-tasked at keeping their fantasies and cravings on the back burner.  At least for as long as they could.  At some point would human nature and desire take over?  Make sure you get your copy and find out !

I seriously loved this story, craved the next paragraph, and the next.  I couldn't put it down.  It was a quick read but it packed a powerful punch in those few pages.   Excellent writing SJ Maylee!!!




S.J. MAYLEE BIO:

S.J. Maylee fell in love with storytelling at a young age and with it came a deep-seated desire for everyone to find their happily ever after. She's finding the happy endings for her characters one steamy story at a time.

When she's not reading or writing, you can find her caring for her garden, laughing with her two young sons, or dancing to her husband's music. She's a PMP (Project Management Professional), Nia instructor, and coffee addict.

As a writer she has a tendency to break hearts, but she always glues them back together.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

CASSANDRA CARR

 Blurb:  Nate O'Halloran is a PR superstar, an expert in crisis management for his image-conscious celebrity clients. When his college roommate, now a hospital director in Buffalo, calls to beg for his help-- a cancer researcher on staff has disappeared with millions of dollars' w,orth of government research funds-- Nate agrees to help right away, though this situation is pretty small potatoes for him.

Val Chase, the hospital's PR director, is none too thrilled when Nate shows up; does it mean her boss doesn't trust her to handle this mess herself? Against her better judgment, Val decides she and Nate have to work together to save the hospital's reputation, though the explosive attraction they feel is making any actual "work" difficult...

My Review:
I loved this book!  It's as simple as that. Okay, it's more complicated than that....I loved the creation of these two great characters, Val and Nate.  I could probably also admit 1 tiny little thing like....I didn't like Nate right along with Val the minute he walked into Doug's office.  I was also a little miffed at her boss Doug for not letting her in on his plan.   No one enjoys being blind-sided.

To give Nate some credit though, he did redeem himself pretty quickly.  They also bo th have a few things in common which isn't a bad thing.  It's very evident they both like their jobs and they have an appreciation for vintage cars.

The chemistry is also unmistakable even though Val fights it in the beginning.

Kudos to Ms. Carr for a great story line, definitely to my liking.

All I Want for Christmas is a Cowboy

By: Katie Lane, Emma Cane & Jennifer Ryan

5 stars all around !!!!! 

 

Blurbs

What’s better than Christmas? Christmas and Cowboys. Contemporary romance stars Emma Cane, Jennifer Ryan, and Katie Lane join together for a holiday anthology to remember.

“The Christmas Cabin” by Emma Cane
Sandy, recently diagnosed with MS and abandoned by her husband, is determined to make Christmas special for her five-year-old Nate. While they’re trooping through the woods to cut down their Christmas tree, a snowstorm arises, and a mysterious old ranch hand points them toward an abandoned cabin. Little do they realize, the ranch hand also guides cowboy Doug Thalberg to the same place…

My Review:

What a great Christmas Story, short and sweet.  I loved it!  I have to admit when I read the prologue, It gave me a weary feeling and I got a bit worried that it might not be a happy ending story but  my thoughts were changed pretty quickly.  I was pleasantly surprised by this heartfelt love story and one could only be so lucky to have such great Christmas memories to share year after year. 

I loved the way the family gathered around to listen to the whole story, same as they do every year.  Made me feel like I was right there with them.

Great, great story Emma Cane.  You are a new author to me but I plan on looking up more of your stories about the Silver Creek Ranch in Valentine Valley !! 

 

“Can’t Wait” by Jennifer Ryan
Before The Hunted series, Caleb and Summer had a whirlwind romance not to be forgotten...
Caleb Bowden has a lot to thank his best friend, Jack, for - saving his life in Iraq and giving him a job helping him run his family’s ranch. He also introduced him to the most incredible woman he’s ever met. Too bad he can’t ask her out. You do not date your best friend’s sister. Summer and Caleb share a closeness she’s never felt for anyone, but the stubborn man refuses to turn the flirtatious friendship into something meaningful. Frustrated and tired of wishing to be happy, Caleb tells Jack how he feels about Summer. With his friend’s help, he plans a surprise Christmas proposal she’ll never forget - because he can’t wait to make her his wife.

 

My Review:

I LOVE strong military men.  Stubborn and sexy.  Caleb is all that and a bag of chips!  I'll take one of him please !!

There almost aren't words....this story made me ache for Caleb and Summer. That poor girl practically pouring her heart out every time she was with Caleb and him struggling to stay true to his friendship with Jack. 

I couldn't have been more pleased with how the story developed and loved how the whole family got brought into the mix eventually.  By chapter 12, I was fighting off the tears. 

What a truly great love story Ms. Jennifer Ryan.  I can't wait to read on from this story into your series! 

“Marry Christmas” by Katie Lane
Alana Hale is tired of irresponsible beach bums whose only plan for the future is catching the next “awesome” wave. So when she tries her luck with an internet dating service and ends up hitting the Responsible-Sensitive-Man jackpot, she wastes no time accepting Clint McCormick’s invitation to spend the holidays on his family’s ranch. But when an unexpected blizzard strands Alana, she’ll be forced to find refuge in the arms of a womanizing rodeo cowboy who knows how to take the chill off a cold winter night. Now Alana will have to make a choice between the man who heats her blood and the man who touches her heart. Or will she? Mistaken identity will give Alana the man of her dreams and a very “Marry” Christmas.

My Review: 

Katie Lane, thank you for writing such a fantastic story!  I am such a mushy romantic fan but I'm also a diehard cowboy lover and this....well this story was right up my alley all the way !  I swear I caught myself laughing like a giddy school girl more than once :) 

I loved this story for all the obvious reasons, Christmas...sexy cowboys...stubborn women...but also for another not so obvious(to anyone else) reason, and that being that I met my hubby online.  First it was just emails and then gradually getting to texts.  The picture I had of him was so goofy looking that it made me nervous at the thought of meeting him but I also couldn't imagine not meeting him in person.  Thank you so much for reminding me of one of the most wonderful memories in my life :)

Loved the confusion and mix-ups with the two brothers and as I read, I hoped and hoped it would actually turn out like I was thinking all along.   Very well written and a great storyline !  You made me want to get stranded, then found and hidden away in a cozy cabin.   Can't wait to read more of your stories !!

Review: Bikers and Pearls by Vicki Wilkerson + giveaway

 

 

Bikers and Pearls

 

by

 

Vicki Wilkerson

 

 

 

Blurb: 

Who said tempting a sweet Southern belle would be easy?

When rebel biker Bullworth Clayton gets tangled up with pastel-and-pearls-clad April Church, sparks fly. Sure, April would clearly rather work with anyone else, but if teaming up with Bull means a successful charity event for a sick little boy they both care about, then so be it.
April is baffled at how drawn she is to the leather-wearing, tattooed Bull—he just doesn’t fit with her simple, safe, country-club life. And as much as the handsomely rugged man tempts her, she still can’t shake the images of the tragic motorcycle accident from her past, which left her scarred and her father broken.

 Bull tempts her to don a pair of leather pants and go for a ride with him, while April desperately tries to resist her attraction to the wild side and keep her exploits hidden from her small town. Will they be able to navigate their differences and find a middle road to love?

My Review

 

I've read nothing but great things from the Bliss line and that absolutely includes Bikers and Pearls. 

 

 I grew up on the back of my dad's bike so I do have my own personal feelings and fears about motorcycles so I felt a kinship with April.  And then there's Bull, what's not to love about him. 

 

It's a funny statement, 'opposites attract' and in this story these two complex characters couldn't be anymore different but the attraction is most definitely there.  April is so desperately seeking the prestigious socialite status while Bull (an awesome name btw)  owns a garage and rides a motorcycle. 

 

Ms. Wilkerson created a great emotional base perfect for a budding relationship, pushing both characters to overcome obstacles from their past to have a possibility at a future, together.   They learn what they really want in life and what truly makes them happy while working to know each other.

 

 

 

Such a sweet story, I loved it !

 

 

 

 

Praise for Bikers and Pearls

“A sweetly Southern story with a deep heart.” –Deborah Smith, New York Times bestselling author of A Place to Call Home

 

Excerpt from Bikers and Pearls

© 2013 Vicki Wilkerson

 

Chapter One

 

Motorcycles were everywhere. April Church had never seen so many in one place in her entire life. Row after row and side by side, they had been lined up like opposing armies. Was there some kind of biker rally in town that she didn’t know about? No. That couldn’t be. Surely, something like that would have been announced in the Summerbrook Gazette.

She looked for a well-lit parking spot near the door of the buffet steakhouse, but after circling the bikes three times, she finally squeezed her car into the last space at the rear of the dark lot. Motorcycles flanked both sides of her car. Flames embellished the tank of the bike immediately to her left and razors decorated the one to her right.

She was trapped.

Trapped like she had been in her father’s car the night he’d accidentally hit a motorcycle—the night the dead man’s “pack” had surrounded them like wolves. And here she was again, encircled by bikes. She looked toward the building. In that steakhouse were the same kind of people who had left her father with a limp, bound to a cane for the rest of his life.

Why on Earth did she tell Mr. Houseman that she’d go to the meeting? Well, for many reasons, but the most important was Ben. He was special. Every time he saw her, he gave her a hug. Started out when she first helped him learn to climb a tree when the Humanity Project volunteers built his home. When he dropped down from that tree and into her arms, he also dropped into her heart. Ever since that day, he drew pictures of trees and gave them to her as gifts. Yep. He was special, and she had to do something to help the little boy’s parents with the mounting medical bills. Mr. Houseman was her mentor at the Humanity Project, and she owed him, too. She also thought about Miss Adree, the sweet, elderly lady in her condo building who taught Ben music lessons every Thursday evening. April loved picking up the little guy and remembered Miss Adree doing the same for her when she was a child. It was time to return favors.

Inside would be all the civic-minded organizations from town that were helping Ben, including the Summerbrook Ladies League. The bikers were probably at the restaurant for a completely different reason—some ride or party they had to plan. She glanced around at all the motorcycles again. There were so many.

Taking a deep breath, she gingerly opened the car door. But before she got the chance to put her foot on the asphalt, the painted flames on the motorcycle next to her pitched—almost imperceptibly at first. Or perhaps she was simply denying what was happening.

Down it went. The mirrors tilted and flashed the light of a distant streetlamp over the body of the beast. Stop! Somehow, it appeared to have picked up momentum on its way to its death. And then it crashed against the pavement, the clang grating up her spine as it hit. No! She couldn’t have touched that bike. She had been so careful.

As she stepped outside the car, a shiver iced down her spine in a cold gust of March air. The motorcycle lay there like a fallen soldier. The crash had amputated its rearview mirror, which was now in the middle of the lane. She looked all around her.

For a brief moment, she thought about bolting. But she’d never do that. She worked at a local insurance company as a risk assessment manager. Assessing her own risk, she determined that she was in real trouble.

River Valley Series

RIVERSTAR

By: Tess Thompson

Riverstar (The River Valley Collection #3)

After ending an affair with a married movie producer, feisty Hollywood makeup artist Bella Webber finds herself back in the quaint Oregon town of River Valley, the location of a famous director’s latest film. Despite trying to distract herself with work, Bella is unnerved by the proximity of Benjamin Fleck – a man who once so expertly made love to her she’d temporarily forgotten everything painful about her life. But now Ben sees her as nothing more than a heartbreak waiting to happen.

When an actress is found murdered after she’s seen leaving the restaurant Riversong with Ben, he is accused of the crime and arrested. Convinced of his innocence, the River Valley ‘gang of misfits’ band together to find the real killer, and Bella must face her biggest fear to ensure the truth is revealed.

My Review:

Suspense in a story is quickly becoming another part of the romance genre i'm liking along with the fantastic author Ms. Tess Thompson.  Readers, she has truly done it again !!!

Another star is born with this book.  Riverstar is book 3 in The River Valley Collection and River Valley is another town I've absolutely fallen in love with!

Ms. Thompson has held fast to creating unforgettable and amazing characters that readers can't help but fall in love with.  It's so easy to feel what each character is going through and it really makes the book mean so much more!  

It's nice to have Bella & Benjamin finally get their chance, even after all this time and everything they had to go through.  I really believe it just makes a relationship so much stronger when two people can find a way to stand by each other and make it through the bad stuff without giving up.  

Will there be a book 4?  Boy do I sure hope so :)

Thanks to Author Tess Thompson for such a great series.

5 stars well deserved !!

Review: Unwanted Proposal by J.N. Johnson + giveaway!

Unwanted Proposal 

by

 J. N Johnson

Caleb Myers watched as his sister and brother-in-law, Joshua, drove away from Clearwater for a much needed vacation, leaving him to housesit, and take care of the family business. The idea of a long weekend of peace and quiet at their country cabin turned out to be a short-lived dream when a phone call from his employee at Winter Lilly’s Outfitters brings news of an unwanted visitor. Riley Campbell wants nothing more out of life than to impress the pig-headed bosses who like to use her as client eye candy at her Houston law firm, and put her career on the fast track for partner. Nothing made her happier than legal battles and paper pushing, but when she is sent miles from her normal city life, and thrown into the country setting of Clearwater, Wyoming, she fears she may have met her match. With an offer in hand to buy Winter Lilly’s Outfitters, Riley tries to convince Caleb to take the deal, but his good ole boy ways, country charms, and fierce loyalty leaves her wanting more than just his name on the dotted line. Can two people from opposite worlds come together under such an Unwanted Proposal?

My review:

You know.....I seriously love Clearwater.  If I knew it would all be there when I got there, I'd have been in the car 10 minutes ago.  I just finished reading Unwanted Proposal and was blown away!  I LOVED IT!  Truly, I got to the epilogue and started giggling like a giddy school girl.  Ms. Johnson you rock!

I was extremely impressed with the way you so cleverly described everything.  I really felt like I was standing at the glass patio doors with Caleb after feeding the dog or lying in the back of his truck while he and Riley watched the stars.  And the love scene? Whoa!

And, I was pissed and hurt right along with him when he stood in the lobby of the Winterbloom B&B staring at his family.

Can't say I'm a fan of lawyers, having had used them in my own past but Riley stole my heart as well and what a decision for her to make.

Please tell me you have another book waiting in the wings because I seriously need more from you!  A seriously talented writer here people!

Readers, you won't regret visiting Clearwater, only the leaving.   CLEARWATER HAS A FANTASTIC FUTURE!

5 stars JN Johnson and bravo!
