Tethered Souls by Beth Flynn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Finished reading (ARC) a couple days ago and had to figure out how to do the book justice without giving away the stories. All I can say is - sit back and enjoy the ride. If you’ve read the other books in the series, then this will be like visiting good ol friends.
Mimi and Christian story, tethered souls. First off you should read the Nine Minutes trilogy and Iron Tiara before you read this book. There are so many characters popping up from those books. You almost need a reference guide to keep track of who’s who and who did what to who. Loved how we get to see more of Grizz and Ginny. As well as Antony Bear, Christy. And Slade.
Mimi is finishing up her last year of college in South Carolina. Christian still in Florida was just finishing up time served in prison, this was 2007. Five years earlier they were saying goodbye and Mimi promised Christian it wouldn’t be the last time they spoke and that she’d keep in touch when she could. 5 years and not a word from Mimi, Christian decided to take matters into his own hands. Remind Mimi about her promise and make her remember what she left behind all those years ago.
This is the main story, the struggle and reconnection of Mimi and Christian. The journey they go on to find their way back together. Along this journey to reconnecting we run into some familiar faces, that have back stories we need to explore. Slade and Bevin, Blue and Jodi, The Ghost.
I didn’t want to give all away with my review and I hope I expressed well enough what a good read this book was. I found myself having to remember not to compare so much to the other books by Beth. Remember Mimi and Christian (thankfully) are different than their parents and their story had to be different. I enjoyed reading their sweeter love story. It didn’t have the intense grit of Nine Minutes or even Iron Tiara. But because of those books and characters associated with them, if you loved the books. Well you were bound to read this one. This one like the other books of Beth Flynn left me wanting more!!

Black Lies by Alessandra Torre

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Really enjoyed this book. Not a big fan of 2 timing characters in books unless they are all open to "sharing". So I was skeptical about reading this book. Heroine was in love with 2 men! And she made no bones about it. So I went in reading with caution. Well the more I read the better it got. I fell in love with 2 men right along with her. Don't want to give away anything, just let readers know it really is a good read, won't disappoint in the bedroom or lack in sexiness.

Soaring by Kristen Ashley

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


worst K.A. book

Not sure why but I did not connect with the heroine or the jackass alpha male in this book. Usually in LOVE with all books Kristen Ashley and I was surprised that I didn't with Soaring. Let me start with the "Mickey" which by the way I hated his name would have preferred Michael. He was a total and complete jerk and most of K.A.'s are jerks but you usually find some reframing quality about them that you love. Nope not here. He was fine with his kids but for the most part he was a jerk to "Amy" I also hated that he called Amelia "Amy". As for Amelia well I felt that she was very one dimensional the same could be said for "Mickey" as well. The first book in this series was better but I won't read the 3rd book or reread this book. Will have to go back to Colorado Mountain series. These guys were jerks but their shells cracked and redeeming qualities that kept me reading and engaged came out. In this book I thought Mickey was a total assz

Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Travis "Maddog" Maddox the sexy man you love him and hate him. This book it seems is not everyones cup of tea. But I loved the story of Abby and Travis. Loved the story of how they met and fell in love. How it shows the faults of people and how they can learn and overcome their personal demons and work to be better. I love how Travis is a flawed man and he's passionate. I felt the joy of love and sadness of heart break. This book was written to draw the readers in to fell exactly what the characters were feeling and I came away loving Abby and Travis.

Dark Lover by J.R. Ward

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Love, Love, Love, WRATH!!! King of the Black Dagger Brotherhood and is ALL Vampire!!
Wrath is the biggest, baddest Vampire around and wasn't looking for love of any one or any women, until Beth comes into his life. One thing that I really enjoyed about this vampire series is that the vampire "marks" their mate with their own scent! Thought it was very cool and extremely erotic as well. This book is a really great mix of or action, romance, sex and vampire! Wrath has become one of my favorite Vampires

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I found this statement written about this book and series and it has stuck with me since I first read The Outlander, 5 years ago. "So how do you classify a series of books that centers around the lives of a time-traveling WWII nurse and the man she loves, an 18th century Highlander? The answer is simple. You don't. You simply enjoy them for what they are and pass the addiction along to friends." This is so true, so pick up a copy and enjoy your journey with Jamie and Clair!
