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

Anchored Hearts Series
By J.M. Witt


LETTING GO (Anchored Hearts Vol 1)


What happens when the girl who's only read about BDSM meets a flawed Dom? Will their tortured souls find love amidst the pleasure and the pain? Or will misconceptions and unrealistic expectations destroy them before they’ve even begun?
James Benedict III, local playboy and successful real estate investor, hasn’t stopped thinking about Cassidy since the horrific events that occurred in his bar several months ago. Working hard to protect her and still blaming himself for her grief, he’s unable to stay away any longer. Crashing back into her life, he discovers he may need her more than she needs him.
Cassidy Charles is slowly putting the pieces of her life back together once again. She's managed to leave everything to do with that horrible night behind her, including James. When he reappears, she finds the attraction undeniable and falls into a lifestyle that rivals her fantasies. As her demons come head to head with his, she worries that his world will destroy her.
When your past threatens to destroy your future, how long will you hang on before Letting Go?



HIDING AWAY (Anchored Hearts Vol.1.5)


Who do you trust, and who do you love, when the secrets of your past are so painful that you’re Hiding Away?
Jane Whitford had everything she ever wanted, at her fingertips, when it was violently ripped away. The man who was supposed to love her turned into a monster. Broken and bruised, she fled his clutches back to her hometown. Love is the last thing she wants when she meets Cal. The only thing on her mind, is fun, and lots of it. Will she open her heart to him before it's too late?
Calvin Charles is a cop on the streets, working hard to achieve his goal of joining SWAT. He strives to live with no regrets and has everything he needs; friends, family, and the occasional woman to warm his bed. Until he meets Jane, and she quickly becomes everything he wants. Will he be able to get her to open up when she’s convinced that exposing her secrets will cost her his love and respect?
Will his love be strong enough to survive? Or will her secrets be the death of him?



LETTING GO OF YOU (Anchored Hearts Vol. 2)


James,
Letting Go of You will be the hardest decision of my life.
We were devoted and committed to one another. Secret clubs, family, friends, careers and undeniable chemistry filled our lives. Previous troubles seemed nonexistent. We were ready and willing for whatever life had to offer. Life was perfect. If only ‘perfect’ really existed.
What I didn’t expect was that one tragic event would trigger the demons you kept hidden from me. I had to decide if I could live with not knowing your secrets. And just when I thought we would make it through, another hurdle was placed in front of us. Tragedy, murder, first loves, old enemies, and death lingered at every turn.
Will your demons be the death of us? Or will my anchored heart be strong enough to hold on?
Only You ~Cassidy



FADING AWAY (Anchored Hearts Vol. 2.5)


Can our love heal the wounds that consume us? Or will the past leave your soul Fading Away?
Cal is fighting for his life and for his love. Never wanting to settle down until he found her, his baby doll. Her secrets left him bleeding on the floor and comatose. He’ll fight for her, no matter the cost. But what if that means committing murder?
Jane almost lost everything she never knew she needed. Some of her secrets revealed, but not all. Nightmares consume her, but so does her love for Cal. Will she be able to let go of the past and move forward?
Will murder charges ruin their chance at happily ever after? Or will they get the one thing they both want? Each other…forever.



LETTING GO OF US (Anchored Hearts Vol. 3)


Cassidy,
While grieving for my mother I lost sight of you, my love, my life, and what we had created. You said the one word I never wanted to hear from your lips and it nearly broke me. I know now that it was your plea for me to hear you.
I heard you and I planned on fixing it, even if it took the rest of my life. We never bargained for what came next. You became a stranger to me, my own wife. Wife. The word was suddenly foreign to me. Thrust into a situation we didn’t expect, you proved to me over and over again what love was. I pray you’ll let me return the favor.
My cage is empty and waiting for you, my Blackbird. I’ll spend eternity proving that I’m never letting go of us.
Always, only, forever… James

So I made another plan…

Destroy the man who ruined it all. Edward Bonham. With his perfect wife and perfect life. Why should he be allowed to keep everything I’ve been denied?

Years have passed; they think they're safe. They think no one remembers. They think all is forgiven. But I will never forgive, I will never forget, and one day, retribution will be MInE.

An 18+ read with dark scenes.
Genre: Dark suspense.

EXCERPT 1
I’ve opened the blind on the window so that my therapist can see some daylight. Or rather can see me from his fixed viewpoint. I’m in my shorts and tee. They display my abs and glutes to perfection. As I dig the ground he’ll be able to see my strength, as my muscles cord with the push and pull of the spade. I’m digging a rectangle. For no reason whatsoever other than to let him think I’m digging his grave. Psychology is the bomb.

EXCERPT 2
You took away the opportunity to do what I’d yearned for my whole life. To give life. I was so excited to meet my baby and then when I did-’ She stops and cries again.
I wait until she composes herself.
‘Are you the slightest bit regretful about what happened, Edward? Do you wish things could have been different?’
‘No.’ I tell her honestly. ‘I wish I could bottle every tear on your face.’

This Isn’t Fair, Baby War & Peace Series #6 by K. Webster Blog Tour and Giveaway!

This Isn’t Fair, Baby

War & Peace Series #6 by K. Webster 
Publication Date: April 18, 2017 
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Dark Romance


***This is the sixth book in the series. First five books must be read in order to fully understand this story line.*** The king in my world fell and a new one slid into place. He wasn’t just. He wasn’t FAIR. He was cruel and hateful and twisted. But I had this black king figured out. Or so I thought. The game became complicated because my black king had some new moves and one of those involved my heart. Hope trickled in for the briefest of moments. That is, until my black king and my heart sided against me. Those two didn’t play FAIR. They used me as their pawn in a bigger game—a game I didn’t know how to play. The laws changed. I didn’t play by their rules anymore, for the queen makes up her own. I am not a pawn. I am not theirs to use and abuse. I belong to nobody. There are new players on the board and they don’t play FAIR either. But the white king does know how to treat his queen. And together, they will make them pay. All’s FAIR in love and war, right? Definitely not this time. ***Warning*** This Isn’t Fair, Baby is a dark romance. Extreme sexual themes and violence, which could trigger emotional distress, are found in this story. If you are sensitive to dark themes, then this story is not for you.

Snap to Grid By DK Reed Book Tour!

Snap to Grid

By DK Reed
Genre: YA, Sci-Fi, Fantasy

Sixteen-year-old Red identifies with legendary warrioress, Red Sonja, as a coping mechanism for the difficulties of teen life with ADHD.  But even her inner warrioress is a little nervous about moving into Uncle Alistair’s old mansion after seeing an eerily beautiful “Viking ghost” in an upstairs window shortly after his disappearance.  And, she soon notices a crow acting strangely and feels like she is being watched. 

Uncle Alistair’s graduate student, Erik, trapped in a ghost-like state by means of one of the stones, can only watch her.  Unable to be seen or heard, he’s now more like an essence or spirit.  Though Red has never been popular, her heroic goodness lends to the beauty of her essence and Erik is quickly smitten.  He uses the limited tools available to try and reach her, including his crow friend, Moon.  But, will he get to her before the cult?  Can she solve the mystery and save him?

About the Author

Reed grew up on a farm in the misty Clinch River valley of the Smoky Mountains. She now lives in Maryland with her husband, two daughters (when they aren’t away at college), two dogs and two cats and loves to hike near the Potomac River. 
Reed loves the natural world both as a hiker and scientist and this figures heavily in her books.  She loves exploring the “what ifs” of science and tries to make the science fiction in her novels plausible and logical.  She has a doctorate in biology and has taught students from middle school to college.  She is an award-winning technical writer/editor and has co-authored/edited dozens of ecological risk assessments and other scientific books and articles.  While she views her work as an applied scientist as problem-solving fun, what she really loves is to explore imaginary worlds and share her intriguing stories. 
A few years ago, a serious illness caused her to look at her life afresh.  She decided to focus her time and attention more on spiritual growth and joyful living.  This led her to return to an earlier love, fiction writing—having fun with science. She spent the next few years honing her fiction writing skills and transitioning into her new career as a sci-fi-fantasy/supernatural romance writer.
"Life is better if you do what you love and share your joy with others.”

Character Interview 
What is the name of the book where we'll find you? Can you tell us a little about it?


I’m excited to have you come along on my adventures with the Stones of Bothynus! You’ll meet me in Book One: Snap to Grid.


Ok, so here’s the thing—my family gets drawn into some really creepy stuff when Uncle Alistair disappears. He’s my coolest relative, always reminded me of Merlin or Gandalf.  Not that he wears a robe or anything, but he’s a professor of Medieval Religions and, since I was a kid, has always had some intriguing artifact or sacred object to show Annie and me; that’s my little sister, she’s 15 now.  Just before this particular adventure began, he’d been researching some ancient stone artifacts and, though I had no idea at the time, these stones were capable of changing one’s sub-atomic particles so that they snapped to different size-scale grids and changed one’s state of existence. I don’t want to give too much away, but let me just say that the altered states of existence are a lot like what you would think of when you think of a ghost or angel—like an ethereal being.


And that brings me to how my adventure began in Snap to Grid. Just after Uncle Alistair disappeared, Annie and I were walking up from the river behind his old mansion and I saw something that I couldn’t explain, something I couldn’t get out of my mind.  Ok, I know this sounds bizarre, but I saw a Viking ghost in the upstairs window, an eerily captivating creature staring at me—I was dumfounded! But, I couldn’t get Annie to believe me, so I didn’t even bother telling anyone else. But, that didn’t keep me from investigating…


Tell us a little about yourself. Where do you fit into the story? What should we know about you?


I’m 16 years old now (15 when the book opens) and have always had a vivid imagination.  In fact, don’t laugh, but I imagine myself as a hero like legendary warrioress, Red Sonja, you know the Marvel Comics character? I don’t think my dad had any idea of how insightful he was being when he nicknamed me Red when I started taking tae kwon do lessens. But, to be honest, it’s my way of coping with ADHD. I’ve always been impulsive and a little hyperactive and I know that this has cost me some potential friends and that I will never be the most popular kid. But, rather than whine about it, I decided early on to overcome it by being strong and taking charge of my own life.


What do you think of the author? Be honest. We won't tell.


I'm good with the way she portrayed me and she was spot on about my little sister. But I don't know--I guess I'd have to say that I’m a little annoyed with some of the creepy stuff she allowed to happen.


How do you feel about the story you're in?


It was the most fascinating adventure and way cooler than anything I had ever imagined. It started out as kind of sad and scary when Uncle Alistair disappeared, and then got really creepy when crows began doing odd things and Roy showed up everywhere. But, once I started putting two and two together it felt good. And then I got to be transformed by the stones, and wow! Let’s just say that when your molecules make you like an ethereal being, you can press through walls and flight is a real thing—you get the picture.


Do you like being a character in the book?


Again, I can’t say I liked it one bit at first. Hey, there are things out there that we don’t usually see that are not for the faint of heart. But, there are also beautiful things out there. I will just say that when doors are opened, both good and evil can come through, and I’d rather be in the battle than on the sidelines.


How do you see your future? Without giving anything away about the story, naturally.


I see myself continuing to fight for good. As you will soon find, not every being has good motives. Since the stones can produce altered states that make contact with ethereal beings a possibility, this can also lead to problems. The war between good and evil has become a real part of my world. But, not to give too much away, I’ll just say that along with new problems, also come new opportunities to forge meaningful alliances.

What do you know about your author's plans? Can we expect to see you in any future stories?



Absolutely, you will see me in future stories.  This is book one of a trilogy. In the next book, my little sister, Annie, gets in over her head when she “borrows” a device that our uncle brilliantly crafted from artifact dust and uses it to shrink herself to explore a hidden cave behind a waterfall on our grandmother’s farm.  You may recall that I said that the altered states of being make it possible to see ethereal beings?  Well, Annie sees something in the cave and a new adventure begins…
 
Let's say they make a movie about this book. Who do you want to play you, and why?


Definitely a strong female lead, like Kristen Stewart or Gemma Arterton would be the type. But, I’d like to see someone come from obscurity and burst onto the scene in this—a debut actress. Like me, someone with a quiet strength. She would need to be agile and able to do tae kwon do. It really would make a great movie!

Say You’ll Be Mine

by Maria Luis A Nola Heart Novel 
Publication Date: April 27, 2017 
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Read for FREE in Kindle Unlimited: Amazon
Falling in love with your ex should never feel this good ...
Twelve years, three cities, and too many pairs of stilettos later, Shaelyn Lawrence is back in the one place she vowed never to return: New Orleans.
Thankfully, her hometown stint is temporary. Better yet, she has a plan guaranteed to get her out ASAP:
  • Return her aging-but-still-crazy grandmother back to health;
  • Help her cousin with her boutique;
  • Evade Brady Taylor, her high school sweetheart, a.k.a the reason she fled Louisiana in the first place.
Brady isn't even a footnote ... until one unexpected run-in with him changes everything. She shouldn't be tempted by his drawl, she shouldn't be tempted by the promise of his kiss, she shouldn't want him. But she does. Oh, boy, this was so not the plan. - - Twelve years, one city, and too many issued traffic tickets later, Homicide Detective Brady Taylor is all geared up for being promoted to sergeant within the New Orleans Police Department. Or, he would be -- if he wasn't sitting in third place. Thankfully, he's cut out every possible distraction:
  • Hanging out with his buddies;
  • Women;
  • And, God help him, football.
His life should be distraction-free . . . but then Shaelyn Lawrence waltzes back into it, with her sexy red lips, curvy body, and her f***-me heels. Brady should run in the opposite direction. He definitely shouldn't spend time pursuing her, kissing her, or landing her in his bed. But he does. Shaelyn may have left once, but Brady is determined to prove that Shaelyn belongs in New Orleans. She belongs with him.
For fans of Jill Shalvis and Lauren Layne, Maria Luis' new sexy contemporary romance will leave you laughing and desperate for more! SAY YOU'LL BE MINE is the first full-length novel in the NOLA Heart series, but can be read as a standalone.
