Reviews!

To any authors/publishers/ tour companies that are looking for the reviews that I signed up for please know this is very hard to do. I will be stopping reviews temporarily. My husband passed away February 1st and my new normal is a bit scary right now and I am unable to concentrate on a book to do justice to the book and authors. I will still do spotlight posts if you wish it is just the reviews at this time. I apologize for this, but it isn't fair to you if I signed up to do a review and haven't been able to because I can't concentrate on any books. Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time. I appreciate all of you. Kathleen Kelly April 2nd 2024

A License to Wed by Diana Quincy Book Blitz!

http://lovekissedbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/A-License-to-Wed-197x300.jpg
Perfect for readers of Madeline Hunter, Lisa Kleypas, and Sabrina Jeffries, the Rebellious Brides series continues with a sizzling tale of forbidden love between a socialite and a scholar—who might just be an infamous spy.
Lady Elinor Dunsmore made the mistake of falling for her older brother’s best friend, who vanished after a night of unbridled passion. Six years and a lifetime later, their eyes meet across a Paris salon. Her friends and family believe she’s dead, but Elle is very much alive. She’s now associated with a ruthless general, who wants her to seduce the man who broke her heart in order to learn his deepest secrets. Is Will a mild-mannered scholar—or the notorious agent they call The Razor?
The bastard son of an earl and an actress, Will Naismith always knew he was an unsuitable match for Elle Dunsmore, no matter how powerfully he ached for her. And yet he almost allowed his desires to spoil her glittering future. After the agony caused by Elle’s supposed death, Will has devoted himself to the Crown, but his entire life has been leading up to this unexpected reunion. As much as he still wants her, though, he must not succumb to lust once again. For his mission is delicate—and Elle is delectably dangerous.

Excerpt
“Must I allow viscounts and dukes and earls to dance attendance upon me before soundly rejecting them to prove myself worthy?”
His lungs ached at the way her clear eyes sparkled at him. She was worth ten of him. A thousand. He took another swig of the bottle. “You will feel differently once you have a better understanding of the ways of the world.”
“Don’t treat me like I’m still in the nursery.” She spoke with uncharacteristic sharpness. “I am well aware your father wasn’t married to your mother. That’s hardly your fault.”
“Perhaps not.” His face burned to be discussing his low birth with her. “But the world views children born on the wrong side of the blanket in a different light. I’m a bastard. As the daughter of a marquess, you are expected to marry much higher than me.”
“You are the son of an earl.” 
“And my mother was an actress who tread the boards.”
“An actress!” Her face lit up, and delight supplanted her irritated expression. “I never knew that. She must have led a fascinating life.”
Her mercurial nature both mystified and enchanted him. He was strong, steady, and dependable, like a workhorse that plowed the fields, while she was wondrously ethereal and ever changeable—an earth nymph and vibrant butterfly all rolled into one. 
Just looking at Elle made his lungs ache. He wasn’t for the likes of her and never would be.

AMAZON BUY LINK:

The most controversial book of 2017 ~ Carolyn Faulkner
Enjoy seven wicked tales from seven bestselling authors, each more deliciously deviant than the last! This anthology breaks every rule and is extremely taboo. It is so dark that it’s actually black, and definitely not for the faint of heart. This anthology is not your typical romance. You have been warned.
Nothing is as it seems in our dark and twisted fairyland. Princes are not charming and the path to happily ever after is paved with creative punishments and supplication. Do not fret for our fair maidens. These are still fairytales. Love will conquer all in the end.
Included in this anthology are:
BEAUTIFULLY PRIMAL
A Beauty and the Beast tale by Zoe Blake
SLEEP, MY BEAUTY
A Sleeping Beauty story by Alta Hensley
SAVING ELLA
A Cinderella tale by Tabitha Black
MR. WOLFFE’S LITTLE RED
A Little Red Riding Hood story by Maggie Ryan
GOLDI IN CHAINS
A Goldilocks story by Maren Smith
NIGHTMARES IN WONDERLAND
An Alice in Wonderland tale by Addison Cain
THE TOWER
A Rapunzel story by Jennifer Bene
*Publisher’s Warning – This anthology is extremely dark, twisted, and will push your comfort level. There are taboo, and high kink level acts, graphic sex, anal play, ménage, age play, and whatever else your darkest mind can think of. Do not buy this book if you are expecting your typical hearts and flowers romance.

Gilding the Lily by Justine John Book Spotlight!

Gilding The Lily

A gripping mystery of jealousy, murder and lies.

An invitation to her estranged, wealthy father’s surprise 75th birthday party in New York sees Amelia and her husband, Jack, set off across the pond to meet a whole new world of family politics.

Amelia, now a successful businesswoman, feels guilty about never liking her father’s women, so does her upmost to give his new socialite partner, Evelyn, the benefit of the doubt. Wouldn’t it be nice if they could just all get along? But there’s something very dark, determined and dangerous about her

When Amelia’s father, Roger, becomes ill, Jack grows suspicious that there is more to it. Amelia understands why, but no one else will believe them. They travel back to America to piece together the puzzle, but when Roger goes missing, the couple are driven to their wits' end. It takes a DEA officer and a secret assassin to bring them answers, but the ruthless truth is something no one expected

About Justine John
After over thirty years of working in the corporate sector in London Justine John left the rat
race for the stunning countryside of the Surrey Hills where she lives with her husband, horses and two dalmatians.


BOOK SPOTLIGHT
Amelia tries to like her father’s new partner, but their relationship quickly becomes unbearable.  When her father becomes gravely ill, she and her husband are driven to extreme measures.   The novel is narrated by Amelia (in the first person) and Jack (in the third person.)

The novel opens with a prologue describing someone’s funeral from a female guest’s point of view, but the reader is not told who the guest is, or who is being buried.
Amelia and Jack Jones are a happily married couple living in London who both run their own businesses.  Amelia cares deeply for her father, Roger Kavanagh, but he divorced her mother in the 1970s and moved to New York so she doesn’t see him as often as she’d like.  Amelia and Jack travel to New York for a surprise 75th birthday party held for Roger, by his new partner Evelyn DeGrawe.  At the party they meet Laura DeGrawe (Evelyn’s step-granddaughter) and she and Amelia become friends. The party is a disaster, being totally inappropriate for Roger, and he reacts rudely.
After his divorce years ago, Roger married another woman, Helen.  Young Amelia never accepted Helen, which had a negative impact on her relationship with her father.  Helen was killed in a car accident and Amelia feels guilty about having not made the effort with her.  She promises herself to accept any other woman her father chooses in the future, no matter what.  When Evelyn arrives on the scene, Amelia makes a huge effort to get to know her, despite the new woman’s grating personality. At first, Evelyn appears to be an eccentric, but harmless American socialite, but it soon becomes clear she is more toxic than strange.  
Eventually, Amelia’s father becomes seriously ill and Amelia and Jack believe that Evelyn could be poisoning him, given her increasingly bizarre behaviour.  They go as far as revealing their worry to Roger, but he is horrified and disassociates himself from them.  Jack and Amelia appeal to some friends of Roger’s for help, but the circumstances are so bizarre, they don’t believe them either.  Stressed by money worries, the couple are at their wits’ end.
When Roger’s health deteriorates, Evelyn is at her most delusional.  She lies to hospital staff about being married to him and things begin to spiral out of control.
In the meantime, Jack (an ex police officer who specialised in narcotics), secretly contacts one of his old informers, Bill Skilling, who is willing to be paid to ‘solve’ the problem of Evelyn.  As he spies on her apartment from the building opposite, he sees something happen that lets him of the hook and he seemingly disappears.

In the epilogue, it becomes clear whose funeral in the prologue focuses on, and explains the outcome of the story in a shocking revelation that hopefully no one will have thought of.

“All I want is you.”

Tess Hamilton has a ten year plan—every milestone mapped out to reach her educational, career and life goals. Happy to be moving in with her fiancé, Sebastian, she didn’t anticipate a dangerous attraction to another man, a life-changing event, and a terrifying journey of self-discovery. They were definitely not a part of her master plan, and now Tess wonders if any part of her scheme will come to fruition.
Sebastian Irons is getting everything he’s ever wanted out of life. Leaving his playboy image in the past, he’s finally become the better man he longed to be when he left England and came to America. Madly in love with his fiancée and ready to start their life together, everything is seemingly perfect—until a series of unexpected events threatens to tear them apart.
Can Tess and Sebastian survive the curveballs life throws at them? Will their love crash and burn, or will they get their long-awaited happily ever after?

Ghosts and Shadows by H.Max Hiller Book Spotlight!



The "Cadillac" Holland Mysteries are a compelling mix of mystery, political thriller, and travelogue of one of America's favorite destinations seen through the eyes of a detective as battered as the city he patrols. Detective Holland has come home as a retired Special Forces and Intelligence operative and brings those specialized skills to bear on investigations that all too often place him squarely at odds with NOPD and the FBI's own way of doing things. It's why the Chief of Detectives only assigns "Cadillac" cases which are as unique and challenging as the detective's way of seeking justice and not just answers. Ghosts and Shadows will test the oath Detective Cooter “Cadillac” Holland swore to defend his home against foreign and domestic enemies when evil men from both sides of the border start a war on the eve of Mardi Gras, an election, and the first Super Bowl in Saints’ history. A shadowy operation has resurrected the blueprints for the classified operation that nearly got Detective Holland killed in Iraq now threatens to expose his own role in that disavowed mission. When the safety of Cooter’s friends and family is also put at risk, he is forced to call upon the skills and mind-set he had hoped to retire in order to keep the peace between local heroin dealers and a violent Mexican drug cartel, outsmart a defense contractor, and take on a loose-cannon Federal official willing to set a bloodbath in motion to cover the tracks of a deal gone bad.


H. Max Hiller’s relationship with New Orleans began with a job cooking in a cafe on Bourbon Street at the age of seventeen.  He uses characters and anecdotes from his four-decades working at many of New Orleans’ iconic music and dining destinations to bring depth and realism to his writing. Though he no longer resides in New Orleans full time, he keeps to the expat creed to “Be a New Orleanian wherever you are.” Max’s life is now divided between working as a chef on a boat traveling the inland waterways and the Victorian-era home he shares with his wife and a collection of rescue pets, which include a neurotic wolfhound/terrier mix and too many cats.
