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

Noelle Adams


On Monday morning, Jill overslept.
She set her alarm for seven, but it was seven thirty-five when she finally woke up. As soon
as she registered the time, she flew out of bed and ran to the bathroom.
She hated being late. As much as it annoyed her when other people were late, she hated it
even more when it was her.
She took a three-minute shower, grabbed an outfit that wouldn’t take any effort to pull
together—a knee-length A-line dress in a vintage print—and snatched a handful of jewelry
that might possibly work with it. She’d barely gotten her shoes on before she was rushing
into the kitchen to get some coffee.
Michelle was at the counter with her laptop as she always was, eating cereal and working.
But what surprised Jill was finding that Lucas was up too.
He didn’t have to work. He didn’t have a schedule. He could still be in bed.
But there he was, sitting at the counter with a cup of coffee, putzing on his phone. Wearing
nothing but a pair of old sweatpants. His hair was mussed, he needed to shave, and he wasn’t
wearing a shirt.
So the first thing Jill saw as she came into the kitchen was a whole lot of gorgeous male back
and shoulders and arms.
She didn’t need to see that this morning.
She dumped her pile of jewelry on the counter as she poured herself a cup of coffee.
“Morning,” Lucas said, sounding friendly and casual.
What was he even doing up this early?
And why did he have to sound so awake? Awake and masculine. Awake and masculine and
sexy.
First thing on a Monday morning.
She did her best to suppress a snarl.
“You’re running late,” Michelle said, without looking up from her laptop. “Did you oversleep?”
“I don’t want to talk about it.” Jill was trying to drink her coffee and put on her earnings,
bracelets, necklace, and rings at the same time.
Lucas was watching her with laid-back interest in his green eyes.
She tried not to snarl at him again.
His eyebrows went up slightly, and she realized she must not have done a good job at the
suppression.
She turned her back to him, reaching into the cupboard for a breakfast bar. She preferred to
eat cereal, but she didn’t have time this morning. She kept her back to Lucas as she gulped
down more of her coffee.
“You missed a button.”
She stiffened, glancing over her shoulder to verify that Lucas had been talking to her. “What?”
“You missed a button.” He gestured toward her dress. “You want me to get it?”
“I can get it,” she gritted out, contorting her arms until she could feel which button on the
back of her dress was undone. Discovering it, she stretched her shoulders painfully so she
could button it.
When she glanced back over at Lucas, she saw that his mouth was tilted up slightly.
He was laughing at her. Silently but definitely laughing.
She didn’t try to hide her snarl this time.
He didn’t have to be up and dressed and at work by eight in the morning. He didn’t have to
sit there in her kitchen, looking smug and gorgeous and amused and irresistibly rumpled
when she could barely pull it together.
What kind of malicious turn of fate had made him her roommate at all?
When she’d managed her button, she poured more coffee into her cup and took it with her,
grabbing her bag on her way out as she left.
She did remember to mumble out a “See you later,” before she closed the door.
It was just the first Monday morning of Lucas living in her apartment.
It was going to be a long six months.

Enemies make the best partners…
As a photographer in NYC, Grace Harper is a pro at handling
the unexpected--which comes in handy when she inherits the
ranch home she ran away from seven years ago…along with a
young, autistic stepbrother she’s never met. And because nothing ever goes easy for her, Grace
finds her frustrating, sexy ex-flame, Noah, taking care of JJ. But she’s getting out of this
nowhere town fast, so she’ll have to find a way to keep from throttling Noah—without kissing
him first.


Noah Taylor may be enemy number one to Grace, but she needs his help. He knows the girl he
used to love is still there, beneath the heels and fancy clothes, so he’ll help her—and keep
his distance like she says she wants. Only the more time they spend together, the closer he wants
to get. Grace has no intention of staying, but she belongs in his arms—he just has to prove it to her.

He leaned against the kitchen entrance, his own half-eaten sandwich in hand,
watching her. “Are you going to avoid me all day?”
She stiffened. She was the New Yorker, used to being direct and dealing with
people who got in her face. Yet when Noah did it, it unnerved her.
“I’m not avoiding you.” Her pitch was a half-step high, the trait of a liar.
“We’ve got to talk about last night.”
She smacked her bread together and turned to face him, using her sandwich as a
shield. She straightened her pose, planted her feet apart, and hoped the Wonder
Woman stance would give her Amazonian strength. “Last night was a mistake.”
His dark-blue eyes flashed with a determination that told her he disagreed. Her
stomach clenched, and the strength she sought eluded her. Instead she stood there,
too frightened to move and too weak to stop where they were going.
He came up on her slowly, as if he knew she’d spook and scatter at any sudden
movement.
He reached out and tucked one blond curl behind her ear. His fingers skimmed her
skin. Goose bumps blossomed down her neck, her spine, to her toenails.
“And it won’t happen again,” she said with as much conviction as she could muster.
“End of discussion.” Her voice squeaked, again betraying her, though no worse
than the rest of her body.
He leaned in until his lips were inches from hers. Her breathing hitched. She should
have put some distance between them, acres of distance, but her feet stuck to the floor.
Her eyes flickered to his lips. They’d been so soft last night and were so close right
now. One little taste wouldn’t hurt, would it? She reflexively licked hers. He moved in.
His breath trailed her cheek, and his lips hovered at the edge of her jaw, just below
her earlobe. She arched her neck back, giving him more access, then shivered,
closed her eyes, and waited to feel his lips on her neck.

The Gene Police By Elliott D. Light Cover Reveal!

The Gene Police
By Elliott D. Light
Genre: Mystery


Before the words “white supremacy” filled the airways, before we learned of American
Nazis and the alt-right, before there was a Muslim ban, before we considered building a
wall or knew what DACA stands for, there was eugenics—a pseudo-science that promoted
the belief that a race could be improved by controlling who was allowed to mate with
whom.  
It was eugenics that compelled white doctors to inform Carl and Betty Langard that their
new born baby had died.  And it is the cruelest of circumstances—the murder of
Jennifer Rice—that fifty years later leads Shep Harrington to search for Baby Langard.  
As Shep soon learns, the quest brings him to the top of a slippery slope with an ill-defined
edge. Question begets question, and the slide down the slope proves inevitable:
What happened to the baby? Who took it? Why was he taken? And who killed Jennifer Rice?  
When Shep learns that Baby Langard was born at a hospital run by Alton Nichols, a
famous Virginia eugenicist, he is drawn into the dark history of the American
eugenics movement and its proponents—the so-called “gene police.”
