A Touch of Templeton by P.E. Campbell

Picture
When sassy, fiery lawyer, Patsy Cunningham enters court she looks her opponent straight in the eye, making it clear from the start that her single purpose is to wipe the floor with her adversary, walking away triumphant! Never showing any sign of weakness. Yet, "someone" is about to throw Patsy a curve ball, sending her crashing full-force onto a road of ecstasy, deceit, jealously, even death, leaving a confident, unwavering woman, who once revelled in a life starved of emotion, hating herself, not because she knows what she is doing is wrong, but because she likes it so much...

First and foremost I want to tell you that we received this book in exchange for an honest review.

This story is suspenseful, drama filled, sexy roller coaster ride wrapped up in one solid read. For a debut author, P.E. Campbell, created a world of descriptive characters and passionate storytelling. Ms. Campbell weaves a web of lies and deciept that keep you on your toes for the entire book. 

You don't know what is the truth and what are lies and that only adds to the intrigue.  **Beware there is cheating in this book**  This is not so much a spoiler as a cautionary note. There are many that do not like cheating, I am one of them, so I feel that it is important that people understand what they are getting into. That being said, the cheating in this book is not so straight forward but you will have to read the story to understand what I mean.

This a great rainy day read when you are looking for some sexy time but also something thrilling and chilling.

​I give it 4 stars.

Synopsis:
Celtic History Professor, Rhiannon Connelly is on a mission to find her missing friend. When she finds a strange note tucked away in a newspaper that promises answers, she packs her bags and heads off to Scotland. Once there, she encounters a secluded village and a strangely secretive group of people lead by a tall, dark and handsome stranger.

Cameron Tapaire is the Alpha of a secret pack of werewolves. Wary of Rhiannon and unsure of what her connection is to the attacks on his people, he has her brought to his home, but things get complicated when the human turns out to be more than just an innocent visitor.

Locked away with the Benandanti, Rhiannon must learn to accept there is a section of the world she knew nothing about, but the more she learns, the more she understands the clan and its overbearing Alpha while Cameron is faced with the challenges of another Alpha in his home, a human woman who cannot protect herself and the threat that can destroy them all.

Amy M.'s Review

The way Amanda Jayde writes about werewolves is just incredible. After I had the pleasure of reading the first in the series, Dark Moon Rising, I was overly excited to get the chance to read the second of the series, Beneath the Blood Moon. She has this amazing way of describing in every detail the way the werewolf is and how the man (or woman) becomes the werewolf in a completely natural way. In the first book she left Rhiannon off on her own searching for her best friend Alex because he had disappeared to look for answers.

Rhiannon comes off as this extremely capable-strong woman that can take care of herself in any situation. Which I believe is what caught Cameron’s eye in the first place to pull him into her web of strength and sexuality. With a war on the rise Cameron only did what he believed was right and that was to bring the human, asking questions, to his castle.

I couldn’t help but be excited to see what this author had in store for Rhiannon considering she is human and the Benandanti do not allow for human contact except for the human family that keeps their secret from the outside world. This book kept building up to the end for a heart stopping ended that had me overjoyed, sad, and extremely excited to read the epilogue. The push and pull of emotions throughout this book kept me guessing which way Rhiannon would take her journey; would she stay with the Blood Moon clan, go with her friend and his Dark Moon clan, or leave everything and return to her human life never to see any of them again?

I give 5 stars to the hot paranormal read, Beneath the Blood Moon by Amanda Jayde.

Chasing Down Changes (Moroad MC #6) by Debra Kayn

Synopsis

Picture
He is his father’s son.

After fifteen years in the Idaho State Penitentiary, Jeremy Aldridge walks out of prison with the knowledge and skills that made his dad a legend in the gang wars within the system and the driving force behind Moroad Motorcycle Club. Outside of the Cyclone fence, Jeremy reaches for the familiar…Lola, the lifers, his Harley. 

But, the one woman he owns and expected to find waiting for him has pulled away from Moroad. He discovers Tiff running the biggest illegal business Federal has ever seen, and her time is up. She belongs to him, and he’ll risk everything to keep her.

Stop loving him.

Tiff’s mantra since losing Jeremy falls to the wayside when he walks into Silver Girls and claims she still belongs to him. At one time, Jeremy was her whole world despite her tendencies to test him at every turn with petty fights, temper tantrums, and jealousy. 

The man who returned from prison no longer plays games. Bigger, stronger, smarter, scarier, Jeremy’s presence threatens her business, resurrects old insecurities, and has the ability to destroy her.

(This is the final book in the series and can be read as a standalone)

Special Note 

Debra Kayn crept in and slowly became one of my all-time favorite authors. I have had the upmost pleasure being able to read and review every book in her Moroad Series - and Chasing Down Changes closes the chapter on this series. Please read the other REVIEWS for this exceptional series. 

Donya's Review

*I was given an author's copy for an honest review.

I am heartbroken...I have read every book in the Moroad Series. And Chasing Down Changes is the last book in this series. And I couldn't have even imagined the way it would ended. 

From the very beginning of this series, it appeared to be about a motorcycle club and the control one man demanded. But it has turned into so much more. Family - the most unconventional kind. This is truly a story of a father and a son; of a boy turning into a man; of a woman caught between the boy she once loved and the man he's become; and the loss of innocence that can never be given back - it's the story of unconditional love and trust and respect.

Chasing Down Changes is one of Debra Kayn's best works. Complete with twists and turns, she'll keep you guessing until the end. Debra doesn't shy away from the complicated personalities of Jeremy, Cal, Tiff, and Lola.

Bravo, Debra Kayn, Bravo!!! I don't want to see this series end, but it gave me the closure that I needed.

Blood on the Bayou: A Cafferty & Quinn Novella (Cafferty and Quinn #3.6) by Heather Graham

Picture
Synopsis:
From New York Times bestseller Heather Graham...

It's winter and a chill has settled over New Orleans, binding a stream of blood that leads a tourist to a dead man, face down in the bayou.

The man has been done in by a vicious beating, so violent that his skull has been crashed in.

It's barely a day before a second victim is found . . . once again so badly thrashed that the water runs red. The city becomes riddled with fear.

An old family friend comes to Danni Cafferty, telling her that he's terrified, he's certain that he's received a message from the Blood Bayou killer--It's your turn to pay, blood on the bayou.

The two quickly become involved, and--as they all begin to realize that a gruesome local history is being repeated--they find themselves in a fight to save not just a friend, but, perhaps, their very own lives.

Amy M.'s Review:

I have not read anything from Heather Graham until this book, Blood on the Bayou. I have to say after just reading the prologue I was put on alert since I read when my husband is at work and the entire apartment is too quiet.

Following Quinn and Cafferty through this amazingly told detective story to find out what or whom and how blood got on the bayou was incredibly thrilling for me. To say I was put on alert after chapter one is an understatement now, I was now frightened. I pictured this enormously tall creature walking around trying to find young woman to beat and kill just because it could. Throughout this book I had so many theories on who or what this thing was that was killing people at the swamp in Louisiana but to say I was shocked at how this one ended doesn’t come close to how I was feeling.

At times I had to stop reading this book because of the eerie feeling I got sitting at home alone in the quiet, I read every chance I got during the day. Everyone has seen a scary movie but it becomes a completely different feeling when you read a scary book. I was extremely nervous and a little anxious reading this book but it was completely worth the read. Do not miss out on this 5 star shocking mystery-thriller by Heather Graham.

I am the good girl, the one who does no wrong. 
Daughter to a ferocious and strong MC President, I know what protection feels like. 
Until one night changes everything - and not a single person in the world can protect me from it, not even my dad. 
Suffocating. Alone. Desperate. 
I let my problems live deep inside until there is no longer anywhere to run. 
I need an escape. Anything to make the pain go away. 
Trouble comes for me, and I don't fight it. 
I tried so hard to believe in what I was, 
But nobody understood. 
Not until him. Not until Lucas. 
He sees me. He believes in me. 
He refuses to let me drown. 
He’s my way out. My escape. 
But Lucas is forbidden. He’s a cop. I’m in danger. And my father is trying to protect what can’t be protected. 
There can only be one outcome. 
Pandemonium.

Holy cow.......that's all I have to say! I'm struggling to put into words about I felt reading this book. I one hundred percent t feel in love with Lucas and Ava. There were a few times reading that I was gasping for air.....I really felt like I was inside Avas body as she was going thru all the struggles Ms Jewell wrote for her. In fact, I think I'm going to have to read a second time, just to make sure I didn't miss anything! My heart was racing as I read it, then in the next sentence I was wanting to cry, then wanting to laugh. Fairy tales are just that......and real life really can suck, but this love story was both! I will be following this author to make sure I catch her next book. This was a 100 star book and every person needs to read it!

Revealing Love (Saints Protection) by Maryann Jordan

Synopsis

Saints Protection & Investigation
A private investigation business, pulling together men from the CIA, FBI, ATF, DEA, Border Patrol, SEALs, and police, devoted to the missions that no one else wanted or could solve.

Jude Stedson was a SEAL…at least until an injury while on a mission left him with an honorable medical discharge and no direction as to what to do next. He even relegated his girlfriend to friend status until he could decide what he wanted to do with a life that had been dedicated to the SEALS.


Sabrina Taggart loved the man…not the title. But until she could prove that their love would continue, she took the role of friend…just to stay close.


​When a con artist set his sights on her family, Jude stepped in, willing to work with her cousin, a member of the Saints P&I. Keeping Sabrina safe gave him a new mission. Finding a new mission gave him purpose. When her life was threatened, Jude knew that nothing would stop him from saving her…or loving her.

Can he prove that he has what it takes to be a Saint?

Liz's Review

A SEAL will always be a SEAL.  You don't wake up one day, after a career ending injury, and decide you aren't a SEAL anymore.  Being a SEAL is what you are,in your blood and nothing changes that.  When Jude is faced with the life-altering realization that his world has changed, he has to figure out what to do.  Surviving was a given, but moving forward was so daunting.  Jude had no clue who he was now!

Sabrina was there for Jude every step of the way.  Even when Jude resisted her at every turn.  Sabrina was a stubborn and independent young lady.  She knew that Jude was everything she wanted and she wasn't giving up.  Sabrina had dreams and she was sure fitting Jude in to those dreams was right.


When Sabrina's grandmother finds herself in the middle of a situation with a slick tongued man promising profitable returns, Sabrina and Jude have to pull together to figure out what her grandmother is involved in.


A slick con artist, a group of gullible widowers, the Russian mob and a whole lot of testosterone fueled men all make for a volatile standoff.  Will everyone walk away unscathed?  Will Jude and Sabrina finally decide to move forward together?

This is a well-written story about finding yourself and new beginnings.  Life holds so many possibilities and you have to grab them and make them a reality.  Without family and friends, nothing else matters!                      - L.T.

Just One Moment (Just One Song #4) by Stacey Lynn

Ex-military man, Lynx Anders has one surefire weapon that destroys all of his pain and suffering--SEX.
Lots of raw, unattached, uninhibited sex.
Sure, it doesn't cure him of all that he's seen--all that he's done in combat, but it helps--for the time being.

But when he has one night of unadulterated, mind-blowing passion with Sarah Linscum, Lynx realizes that one night is not enough--will never be enough.

Her upbeat and bubbly exterior broke through his tough-guy armor, and he wants more. Bound and determined to uncover why Sarah's eyes mirror his own in pain and despair, Lynx sets out to make them shine as bright as her.

As they both know, it takes "just one moment" to change everything.
Together, can they heal from the demons that chase them in their dreams and find a way to not only heal…but love?

Amy M.'s Review

Just One Moment is romantic and frustrating at times love story between two people who believed in distancing themselves from love. Sarah Linscum is a woman who grew up in Minnesota but when she went to college moved to Chicago. She had a devastating event happen to her during high school, which later helped push her along to make the move away from her hometown. Sarah who not only works at a hotel as an event planner but also has a non-profit organization based out of Minnesota. She goes on day to day with a huge weight on her shoulders, which will be shifted to be a little lighter when a moment happens between two people who think they want the same things from each other.

Lynx Anders is an ex-military at a boxing match when he meets a young woman that later turns his world around. Lynx has always distance himself from everyone else because what he saw during the war, no one could understand, so he thought. Sarah and Lynx thought they could have one night to help dull any pain either of them had with incredible sex and walk away.

I have honestly read some pretty hot sex scenes but reading this book was very hot! The way they tried to use each other for sex and not becoming attached was a little something I was curious to see if it could happen. Reading about Sarah’s past was quite unsettling when I thought about my day to day actions that had me making a promise to myself about my own actions. As for Lynx and what he went through in the military and how he grew in the story makes me want to reread this book over and over.

This book has some very heavy details about their past and weighed heavy on my heart reading and will definitely be reading more from this author. I missed out on the books before this one and I will now be keeping watch for more from Stacey Lynn. I give 5 stars to Just One Moment by Stacey Lynn for a very steamy and emotional read.

Donya's Review

I love MC books. But this was so much more than guy meets girl, fall in love, face obstacle, get back together, and have a happy ending. Life doesn't just end there. What happens after the "happily ever after." In the words of Reuben 'Ruby' Castillo, it's like his life is on "wash, rinse, repeat". He still loves the woman he married - but Jenna is no longer the woman he married. Marriage is now - boring.

This is so close to real life, it's scary! This isn't about being in an MC, this is about being in marriage. This is an emotionally charged read that focuses on not placing blame on one particular person. Sometimes in life, a person can become so focused on taking care of their spouse or their children, they forget and lose sight of taking care of themselves; and accepting that in a marriage there is growth - both personally and in the union. And this is about finding yourself before you can find the unity in a marriage.

This was beautiful and inspiring and sometimes, very raw. Heat Ride is the seventh in Chelsea Camaron's Hellion's MC series and can be read as a standalone - although I encourage reading the entire series as well. 5-stars for Chelsea Camaron's Heated Ride! She never disappoints!

**Release Day** Yes, Mr. Mitchell by Luxx Monroe

Synopsis

Nicole Swanson was a good girl, a good girl that had something she didn’t want. After being convinced that her virginity would only hinder her college experience, she decided to give it up to a hot, older man. Only she had no idea who he was. 

Garren Mitchell was on a paved road to success. He loved everything about his life, even the fact that he never dated. Ever. That was until Nicole barged into his life. 

Will Garren and Nicole be able to pass the hurdles that are thrown in front of them, or will they simply call it quits and take the easy way out? 

Intended for an 18+ audience. 

**Note from the author**

If you're into sweet but naughty books about forbidden student-teacher relationships, then this book was written for you. If you’re offended by sappy inta-love stories and hot sex scenes, well you're missing out. If you steer clear of cliffhangers, you’ve been warned. Book #2 will be out very soon, and I promise it will most definitely be worth the wait.

Donya's Review

*I received an author's copy in exchange for an honest review.

First, I'm going to admit, I'm not one of those readers who is into the student/teacher romances, but I do enjoy lite BDSM. And when a story is well written, I love it. This is one of those reads. 

Nicole wants to have a one-night stand and lose her V-card before beginning her freshman year of college. She meets a mystery guy - only known as Garrett - and they "take the tumble". 

It was exactly what she wanted - until he turns out to be her new professor. 

Garrett has rules - no dates, no pasts, no getting to know someone. Never! So he doesn't understand when he cannot get the mystery girl out of his mind. And then to find her as a student in his class, he can't let go. Suddenly, the one night stand is turning into a very, very HOT affair. 

WOW! I don't know what I was expecting. This was a new author to me, and I loved the synopsis. This was a short read - but it was explosively erotic! I'm still fanning myself. There will be a second book in this series - and I WANT IT!!! 5-stars!!!

Synopsis

"I don't f*** bikers." Was Kylie's parting words to the sexy biker who happened to be the Guardian's MC President. She just moved back to the town she grew up and her first confrontation with with Razor, a biker. He was hot and had the potential of completely invading her life. 

She attempts to pump the brakes on his roller coaster, but after her stalker scares some sense into her, she runs to the arms of the Legion of Guardian motorcycle club. Razor tries to steer clear of the young vixen, but he can't help his pull towards her. 

How can he keep his creed with his brothers, the town and get his woman? 

Quick Clip: 

“Razor!” I exclaimed. “We need to come to a truce. We can’t keep doing this.”

“Then put me out of my misery.” 

“How?” 

​“You know how.” 

“Not really.” 

“Let me show you.”
 ​

Jennifer's Review

Small town music star returns home to care for her ailing mother. The last thing on her mind is love. Love hurts, right? Kylie learns that her hard headed, hurt self isn't always right.

In comes Razor president of the Legion of guardians MC and he knows from first look that Kylie is his everything. The journey of making Kylie understand that he doesn't care about her fame, but for her as a person was remarkably well written. In comes the curveball! Can Kylie and Razors love make it past her crazed fan?

I can't wait to read book 2 in this series. Kudos to you miss Turner. I was so enraptured in this book that I read it and 36 hours!!!! 5 stars!!!
