Book Description
Publication Date: August 26, 2014
A sassy redhead with an axe to grind…

After catching her husband kissing another woman in the barn, Loretta Sullivan Bailey left Lonesome Canyon Ranch and swore she’d never come back. But when her daughter threatens to drop out of college to become a rancher’s wife, Loretta refuses to let her baby make the same mistake she did. She returns to the ranch, determined to get her daughter back in school by the summer’s end…and resolute on ignoring her feelings for her ex-husband.

A bullheaded but oh so sexy cowboy…

A cowboy from his hat to his boots, ruggedly handsome rancher Jackson Bailey is none too pleased that his feisty—and gorgeous—ex-wife has suddenly shown up seventeen years after their divorce. But despite all their fighting and fussing, the two stubborn former lovers soon discover that old flames burn the hottest. Can they finally put aside their differences and find happiness together…forever?

I WAS GIVEN A COPY OF THIS BOOK BY NETGALLEY FOR AN HONEST REVIEW.

This was a great fun read, with one sexy cowboy and a bull-headed woman. The characters and storyline was well-developed and had me laughing out loud in certain spots.  When Loretta’s daughter decided to not go back to college, but is staying  on the ranch that she loves  with her dad. Loretta heads off to Lonesome Canyon Ranch to try and talk her into going back. This is when the sparks start to fly between Jackson and Loretta. The more they are in each other’s company, the more they realize that they still love each other. LONG, HOT TEXAS SUMMER is a great read. CAROLYN BROWN  has another hit with this book. I recommend that you read it, and I give it 5/5stars.

BOOK REVIEW: “KISSING WITH FANGS” BY ASHLYN CHASE

kissing with fangs ashlyn chase

Book Description
Publication Date: March 4, 2014
There’s Something He’s Never Told Her…

When her workplace burned down, Claudia should’ve taken it as a sign to move on—and not just professionally. She’s been secretly lusting after her mysterious boss, Anthony Cross, for years. There’s no way she should agree to help him rebuild if she wants to keep her heart intact, and yet it’s impossible to stay away…

The flames that destroyed Anthony Cross’s beloved bar are nothing compared to the heat he feels every time he lays eyes on Claudia. But he can’t have her—it’s against paranormal law for a vampire to date a human. Besides, he has some dangerous enemies, and one in particular already has her sights on Claudia. He owes her the truth—both about his feelings and his vampire nature—which means their lives are about to get hotter than ever…

Praise for Flirting Under a Full Moon:

“Hot sex scenes and a breezy tone with a nice, happily-ever-after ending makes…a fun read.”—Booklist

“A wonderful start to a very lighthearted series.”—Night Owl Romance Reviewer Top Pick

BOOK DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF AMAZON

KISSING WITH FANGS is a sexy, fun, paranormal romance. I have enjoyed all of Ashlyn Chase’s books, and they always seem to bring a smile to my face. Claudia is harboring a few secrets. Anthony has always been in love with Claudia since they met. Now that the bar has been burned to the ground, Claudia and Anthony are at loose ends. When Anthony goes to Claudia’s apartment he finds out about one of her secrets, that she is an alcoholic.  He wonders how she was able to keep it a secret for so long while working in the bar. In light of Claudia’s alcoholism he decides not to reopen the bar and decides to open a tea shop. Paranormal s are being kidnapped and they don’t know who is doing it.  The characters and storyline are well-developed. I also enjoyed seeing other characters from other books. I enjoyed reading  KISSING WITH FANGS, and I give it 4/5 stars.

MY NEPHEW RECOMMENDED A NEW AUTHOR AND SERIES.


 AWAKENING (THE DARK RITUALS, BOOK1)

BY CATRINA BURGESS

POSSESSION (THE DARK RITUALS, BOOK 2)

My Nephew Wendell, who is my oldest nephew, just recently discovered this author on htt://www.wattpad.com and recommended this author  Catrina Burgess to me. He said that her books remind him of Kat Richardson‘s Greywalker (Greywalker, Book 1) books. He said that they are just a little bit darker. He cannot wait for book 3, for her writing is awesome. I have it on my list of books to read, now when I will get the time to read it that is a whole new story.

I have joined wattpad so I can see what authors are up and coming and if there are any good books out there. Apparently there is, because my nephew has just about read everything on wattpad. He has been reading 3-5 books a day. When he cannot sleep he will read all night long. I can say he now reads faster than I do now. I can usually read 3-5 books a week, but a day, not gonna happen,  Here lately it is a struggle to just stay awake when I get home from work.  That is the reason I have not posted in a few days. I get home, eat, sit down and get ready to post and before I know it, I am fast asleep. Usually someone has to wake me up to go to bed.

When I go to bed, I think I will read for a bit and before I know it I am rolling over onto my kindle. I have been doing that a lot lately.  I guess my iron is low again, because this happens when it gets low. I am anemic and have to take iron pills daily. Sometimes I forget, and I will have to double up on them.  I am getting off subject. Check out this author Catrina Burgess, I know I will. I guess that will be all for now, and I will talk with you tomorrow.
