                                    MY REVIEW:

The Darkest Assassin by Gena Showalter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fox is a demon possessed Immortal. She executes the bad guys.
Bjorn is a fierce warrior.
Under a demon's influence Fox kills some sent ones and Bjorn is sent to execute her but the moment they meet sparks start to fly and he ends up taking her captive instead. Bjorn is also married to someone who controls him and he wants out. The chemistry between these 2 had you wondering if Bjorn can really kill Fox. Can Bjorn get out of his marriage and what will happen if he doesn't kill Fox.

Description:

It happens to every mother. One day, the daughter whose whole world you once were, becomes someone you barely know. And you don’t know the secrets she’s hiding…

One night, 15-year-old Olivia comes home late from a party she was strictly forbidden from going to, and she and her mother, Hannah, start arguing. Soon Olivia speaks the words that every parent has heard from their teenage child:

‘I hate you. You’ve ruined my life. And I’m never speaking to you again.’

Olivia has never been an easy child, a sharp contrast to her easy-going, happy-go-lucky little sister. But Hannah thinks Olivia’s outburst is the end of a normal family argument. In fact, it’s only the beginning of a nightmare…

After one day of silence, Hannah thinks Olivia is taking a teenage sulk too far. After two days, she starts to feel anxious that something more serious could be going on. After a week, when her daughter still hasn’t spoken, Hannah knows that Olivia is hiding a bigger darkness – something that could threaten to tear their precious family apart…

The Argument is an unputdownable psychological thriller that asks how far we can push our families before they finally break. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, The Woman in the Window, and The Silent Patient.

                                MY REVIEW:

The Argument by Victoria Jenkins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You love your kids no matter what and always want to protect them. But you know how teenagers are and when they are mad they give you the silent treatment. That is how this story starts out. Olivia, who is 15 comes home from a party, after she was told she couldn't go. Olivia has always been a difficult child. Unlike her sister Rosie. Rosie follows the rules and is a homebody and loves to read books. Hannah, the mother, just can't figure out what has gone wrong with Olivia. Hannah's husband is never around. Always travels for work.
This is a psychological thriller and it is so hard for me to go into much more of this book without spoilers. But let me tell you as I got near the end of the book there was a jaw dropping ending that I did not see coming. There was another thing also but I saw that one coming. This was such a great book and would love to read more of Victoria Jenkins books.

Cover Reveal: Born To Fly by Jamie A. Waters

Born to Fly
Jamie A. Waters
Publication date: July 23 2020
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance

Someone’s killing fairies …

Jezzie wasn’t thrilled with her brother’s idea of entering a scavenger hunt sponsored by humans. It wasn’t as though winning was going to be difficult. After all, sneaking around and stealing from humans was one of the things fairies did best.

Getting around the disapproving Fairy Elders, however, would require a bit more creativity.

What’s life without a challenge?

Mitch Harlow is a human, and he’s considering buying Otherworld Entertainment. Ever since the portal to the Otherworld collapsed and infused their world with magical creatures, the humans had been clamoring to learn more about their newest visitors—especially the elusive and secretive fairies. Their newest scavenger hunt show is a hot commodity, and Mitch is eager to get his hands on it—and on the feisty fairy who’s intent on causing trouble.

When Jezzie’s brother mysteriously goes missing and the contest sponsors refuse to release her from her contract, Jezzie’s determined to make them regret their decision—even if it costs her everything.

Unfortunately, Jezzie’s brother isn’t the first fairy to disappear.

Someone’s hunting fairies, and it looks like Jezzie’s next.

Description:

I wish it didn’t have to be this way. I willed the thought to fly to you, so you’d know how hard it was to leave you behind. That was the night I lost you, and gained myself.

Born in a honeysuckle-choked garden deep in the forest, Aphrodite – young, sensitive and beautiful – learns her true purpose in the world moments before she’s cast out of the only home she’s ever known.

Haunted by loneliness, she begins a journey to fulfill her destiny. It is a path that will lead her into the arms of four very different men – a dreamer, a fighter, an artist and a lost soul. All human, all flawed and all on their own journeys of painful self-discovery.

But could it be the secrets she left behind – and the one person she thought she had lost forever – that hold the answers to the questions she’s seeking? For while life may take you unexpected places, truth will bring you home…

An unputdownable, life-affirming epic, filled with ordinary yet extraordinary people, The Beginning and End of Us is a magical story in which you will recognise yourself, from the sweetness of a rain-drenched first kiss to the terrible pain when you realise it’s finally over.

Perfect for fans of Where the Forest Meets the Stars, The Secrets of Lost Stones and The Light We Lost.

                       MY REVIEW:

The Beginning and End of Us by Rose James

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the journey of Aphrodite, the keeper of Love. Every time she me someone she thought he was her one true love. Every time she falls in love things seem great and something always happens to tear them apart. This was very well written and I am glad that I read this book. I wasn't quite sure if I would like it when I started it but it picked up for me and am glad that I kept on reading it.

Author Bio:

Rose James’ debut novel, The Beginning and End of Us was shortlisted in the Richard and Judy Search for a Bestseller competition in 2014, and after a lot of rewriting and personal ups and downs, she’s delighted that it's being published through Bookouture.

Rose has been addicted to reading and writing for almost as long as she can remember, and she’s currently working towards a Creative Writing MA (distance learning) with Lancaster University.

Book Review: All I want For Christmas Is You by Miranda Liasson

Being naughty was nice, but now these friends-turned-lovers are in for an unforgettable Christmas...


Just when Kaitlyn Barnes vows to get over her longtime crush on Rafe Langdon, they share a sizzling evening that delivers an epic holiday surprise: Kaitlyn is pregnant. And if that weren't life-changing enough, everyone assumes they're engaged -- a charade they must keep alive through the holiday season. But Kaitlyn knows Rafe better than anyone, and Rafe settling down is about as likely as Santa skipping Angel Falls this year...


Rafe would rather Kaitlyn believe a lie -- that their night together was a fling -- than face his own dangerous truth: he's falling for her, hard. After a devastating loss, Rafe swore he'd never risk his heart again. Yet the longer they pretend to be engaged the more Rafe starts to want the real thing. But now he has to convince Kaitlyn he wants to be by her side -- and their baby's -- for all the Christmases to come.

                                   MY REVIEW:

All I Want for Christmas Is You by Miranda Liasson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am sorry this is the last book of this series as I have enjoyed them all. The last book ended with Rafe and Kaitlyn being together. Now it is weeks later and Kaitlyn is pregnant and Rafe will be there for the baby but doesn't want to be commited in a relationship because of his past and not wanting to be hurt again. But they end up having a fake engagement to make his family happy.
While Rafe struggles with his feelings for Kaitlyn, she is also not wanting him to know her feelings as she knows he does not want to settle down. But the heat between these 2 is very hot and no matter what each thinks there is something there.
Thanks to Forever for the book to review.

About SWEET VENGEANCE

The handoff of an orchid colored card was all it took to call the Iron Ladies, a whisper network of women.

They specialized in bringing abusive men to their knees.

Men who abused women and abused power, men like the Camden’s.

Sunday Prescott was a tech goddess, cyber espionage was her specialty.

During her latest assignment, she uncovered more than she ever hoped for: Bo Camden.

He was just like his father, right?

But the butterflies in her stomach told her something different. And the touch of his lips left her breathless.

She was torn between sleeping with the enemy or getting vengeance...Sweet Vengeance.

Read an Excerpt from SWEET VENGEANCE:

“Mr. Camden, they're boarding your flight." Bo looked up at the woman who'd helped him earlier.

"Thank you." He grabbed his carry-on and headed toward his gate. When he arrived, most of the area had already cleared out. He scanned his boarding pass and headed down the gangway.

"Welcome aboard," a flight attendant greeted him.

"Thank you."

When he saw who was sitting in two d, against the window where she would be locked in by him once he sat, he smiled. This flight was going to be interesting.

Sunday saw him and ducked as if that could possibly hide her. Finding entirely too much joy in her rather pathetic attempt, he stowed his carry-on and took his seat. "Fancy seeing you here."

"What the hell? I thought you were headed to New York."

"Yeah, and I thought that my dad was going to New York so I invited you along, guess you were laughing at me the entire time."

"No. After you left, I went to book my flight for New York, but before I did, I wanted to find out what time your dad arrived so I checked the executive airport and discovered that he was going to the Caymans instead."

"You could have called me and let me know."

"How? I only know you as the crazy stalker who followed me home. I don't exactly have your cell number." Sunday looked smug.

"Really? You can find my dad's flight times, don't tell me that you couldn't have found my number." Bo smiled wider. Mental hash mark, one to him. "By the way, do you even know where you're going once you get on the island?"

Sunday raised one brow in challenge. "If I can find a flight plan, then I can find a reservation."

“Yet not a cell phone number," Bo mumbled.

"It wasn't intentional. Besides, why are you bitching? Obviously, you lied about New York because you're on this flight too. And to answer your other question, I'm going to the Ritz."

"I'm only on this flight because I saw you coming through TSA and texted my mom to let her know that you would be out of town with me in New York. She's who told me you were going to the Caymans."

"Well, aren't you a regular Sherlock Holmes."

"Listen, I know that we got off on the wrong foot, let's start over." Bo held out one hand. "Truce?"

Sunday stared at it and debated. "Sure, now because you want it? I tried this yesterday."

"You did, and I acted like an ass. Truce or not?"

"Fine, truce." Sunday shook on it.

"So, why PI work?" Bo turned in his seat so that he could get a better view of Sunday.

“It wasn't originally what I wanted, but I met the other three my third year of college and we became best friends. Olivia and Adeline were studying criminal justice, Melanie was working on a degree in psychology, and I was studying cyber forensics."

"Does Melanie analyze the clients, watch for body language and stuff like that?" Bo asked, totally enthralled.

"Sort of, Mel studies their patterns and habits. You know, like a profiler."

"That's kind of cool. Tell me about cyber forensics. What is that like?"

"Have you ever watched a movie where they confiscate someone's computer?"

"Of course."

"It is a cyber forensics team that goes through the hard drive and can recover, rebuild, or decipher everything that device has done.”

“And that's something you like to do?" Bo questioned.

"It is. I can get lost behind a computer."

"I like that, I used to like my job as well." Bo leaned back.

He couldn't get over how relaxed he felt with her, the two of them just talking. All it took was calling a truce then in a blink of an eye they went from enemies to . . . what . . . what were they?

"You don't like your job anymore?" Sunday appeared genuinely concerned.

"When you spend all your time watching what your own father is doing and making sure that he isn't trying to screw the company or your mother over, it sort of takes the fun out of it."

Sunday placed one hand on top of his. "I hate this for you. You should be able to trust your parents more than anyone else."

"Oh, I trust my mom. She'd do anything for me."

Bo and Sunday fell quiet as the flight attendant came to a stop next to them. Her smile was warm as she glanced between them before asking, "Would you folks like a mimosa?"

“Sure, thank you." Sunday accepted her drink first, and then Bo took his from the attendant.

"A toast?"

Sunday smiled and lifted her glass. "Here's to getting lucky in the Caymans."

"Okay, I guess that I can drink to that." Bo chuckled.

"Oh, I didn't mean like lucky as in lucky, lucky. I meant as in getting lucky and getting exactly what we need for your mother."

"Okay, sure. I'm good either way." Bo clinked his glass to Sunday's.

"Oh, you shush.”

Excerpt: 

“Is the plan to beat and imprison me?” Fox asked, keeping her tone conversational.  “Or to straight-up kill me?” 

A muscle jumped beneath his eye.  The fact that he continued to hold her stare, despite her nakedness and his erection, proved the strength of his willpower.  “What you did to my brethren, I will do to you.  This day, you will die by my hand.”

Exactly as she’d suspected.  “Did you hurt anyone on the way in?”  If so, she would kill him this day. 

“I did not.  Unlike you, I do not slaughter innocents.”

Ouch.  Such a low blow.  Accurate, but low.  At least she didn’t have to worry he’d lied.  Sent Ones were only able to speak truths.  “Would it help my cause if you knew I was under the influence of a demon I despise with every fiber of my being?” 

His eyes narrowed to tiny slits.  With zero hesitation, he told her, “You welcomed the demon and now complain about its influence?  No.  Nothing will help.  The men you killed were beloved.  They had families and friends eager for their return.”

She flinched, a heavy weight settling on her shoulders.  “You know I’ll defend myself?”

“I do,” he said with a slight incline of his chin. 

For whatever reason, the action spurred him into dropping his gaze to her small but pert breasts…where it remained. 

She arched a brow at him, not that he noticed, and fought a new wave of shivers, his stare more potent than a caress.  “Let me know when you’re done staring. Okay, sport?”

“I will.”  He shocked her.  He didn’t offer any more, and he didn’t look away.

Was this a battle tactic meant to disarm her mentally and emotionally?  Like she really cared about her nudity.  She wasn’t shy, or modest, and she maybe kinda sorta…liked the way he studied her, almost as if he’d never beheld anyone so fine.  A trick, no doubt.  Fox wasn’t classically beautiful.  Her features were too angular for such a claim.  But she liked to think she had presence.
