Excerpt 

Copyright 2020 @ Lauren Helms

 I tug at my favorite blue T-shirt, slightly embarrassed. I’m normally on my A-game when it comes to women, and this one seems to be besting me. “One track mind it seems,” I mutter.
“So it seems. By the looks of it, you were doing something you probably shouldn’t be doing.” She looks almost too innocent to trust, so I can’t help flipping the switch on my other skill. A slow grin, one I’ve been told countless times is sexy as sin, slides across my face. Cocking my head slightly, I wink at her. Lowering my voice, just slightly, I say, “How’s your day going?”
She stares. Her eyebrows pinch together, and she cocks her head slightly. “Did you just smolder?”
My face falls, and I feel … out of place. Am I in an alternate universe? Since when did my smolder not work on the opposite sex? Not only did it not affect the pixie, but she also called me out on it. Is my smolder broken?
My thoughts are interrupted by an amused giggle. “Let me guess, that usually works on the ladies?”
“Yeah, I think I might be broken.” I can’t keep the pout out of my tone.
More giggles from Blondie.
“How about you try introducing yourself? Maybe I have to get to know you before the smolder is effective on me.”
Uh, maybe she’s right. I’m going to have to work my magic later on some random chick to ensure I haven’t lost my smolder mojo.
Shaking off the confusion, I get my head back into the game. “Hi, I’m Ryker Stone.”

Ignite My Heart by Loni Ree

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Forever Write PR in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Ignite My Heart by Loni Ree was a good book but it did seem rushed to me that always happens when the books are short.  I always wish that short books like this were long so that I could have gotten to know the characters and I wanted to spend more time with the characters because I really enjoyed all of the characters in this book. I did enjoy that I was able to read the entire book in just one sitting which I love because it is just long enough to make me forget what is going on but not so long that it takes forever to read them.  I love reading short books while I am eating because I am able to get through most of the book in about 30 mins which make my lunches go faster and gives me a short break to walk away from my desk and escape into another world. This is also the first time I have heard or read anything by this author and I am going to check out more books by her in the future.  I also can’t wait to read more books in this series in the future.  If you don’t have a ton of time to read I would pick up a short book like this one and give it a shot.

About The Book

 

It only takes a spark…

Trace Remington
I’m used to my nice quiet life in Juniper. I usually save Mrs. Jacob’s cat from its own bad luck once or twice a week and, on occasion, deal with a real emergency. When Paige Reilly moves in, the little firecracker wakes up our sleepy small town and sets my blood on fire.

Paige Reilly
I was looking for somewhere quiet to settle down, and Juniper, Colorado looked like the perfect place. Little did I know, the quiet little town would welcome me with a bang. When the hottest guy I’ve ever seen shows up at my door to give me advice on fitting into the town and neighborhood, sparks start flying between the Fire Captain and me.

Are you ready for sparks to ignite? This book is guaranteed to set your kindle on fire.

Her short, steamy stories have a tiny bit of suspense and are a little over the top because she believes reading should be an escape from real life. Her books always have a happy ever after, guaranteed!

The Last Scoop by R.G. Belsky

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

The Last Scoop by R.G. Belsky was an amazing book.  This is the third book in the series and I only read the first book so you don’t have to read the books in order if you don’t want to.  I am going to go back and read the second book because I enjoy the characters in these books.  The time I spend with Clare the more I like her.  I love that she seems like a real person because she has vice’s like most people do and that made me come alive to me as I was reading this story.  I also love books where the main character is a strong female because I think there need to be more books like that so that girls know that they can do anything that they put their minds too.  This book wasn’t super suspenseful but it did have enough that I didn’t lose interest as I was reading the book and I also was sad when it ended because I really love these characters and I hope the author writes more books with these characters in them.  If you are looking for a good mystery book to read I would check this one out.

The killer whispered-“A pretty damsel…worth a pretty risk.”

Martin Barlow was Clare Carlson’s first newspaper editor, a beloved mentor who inspired her career as a journalist. But, since retiring from his newspaper job, he had become a kind of pathetic figure—railing on about conspiracies, cover-ups, and other imaginary stories he was still working on. Clare had been too busy with her own career to pay much attention to him. When Martin Barlow is killed on the street one night during an apparent mugging attempt gone bad, it seems like he was just an old man whose time had come. But Clare—initially out of a sense of guilt for ignoring her old friend and then because of her own journalistic instincts—begins looking into his last story idea. As she digs deeper and deeper into his secret files, she uncovers shocking evidence of a serial killer worse than Son of Sam, Ted Bundy, or any of the other infamous names in history. This really is the biggest story of Martin Barlow’s career—and Clare’s, too—as she uncovers the path leading to the decades-long killer of at least twenty young women. All is not as it seems during Clare’s relentless search for this serial killer. Is she setting herself up to be his next victim?

It started with fire.

 

Not the kind that burns inside you and melts your heart into a mess of happy feelings. A real one. One that rips through wood and disintegrates brick and bone, leaving ashes and orphans in its wake.

Death would have saved me from a rocky family life. There would be no cigarette burns on the soles of my feet, no vicious words engraved in my mind, and no Kai Madison. The friend who saw past the scars and offered me pennies for my secrets. The guy who stole my heart with a single kiss in the middle of a rose garden on a snowy winter.

Nothing would have been easier to leave behind—to vanish from—but for the past four years, I’ve been isolated from the world, living in a hospital room and helping the Feds build a case against my foster-dad. Now I’m free and willing to risk my life to see him again.

There’s only one problem. I’m no longer imperfect. I have the same heart, but a different face.

 

 

Excerpt 

Copyright 2020 @ Sonya Jesus 

“You know you can tell me anything, right?”

“What do I have to tell?” My body aches in protest, reminding me of the many secrets hidden just underneath the layers of cloth, and the many more beneath the layers of skin. What good does voicing truths do? A shared burden is still heavy, and I like feeling weightless in his presence.

“Everything…” He slips closer, breaths landing on my trembling lips. His thick blond lashes flutter, and in that same exact instant, our lips touch. And touch again.

Silk and smooth. Like melting ice.

They glide over mine, as though one year of life has blessed him with skill, my inexperience clearly evident in my ragged breaths. But he doesn’t seem to mind. When he tears his lips from mine, his hand falls to my chin, and he tilts it upward to face him. “You’re so different, Thorn.” Hovering his lips a couple inches away from mine, he whispers, “Be careful with the Del Rios. They aren’t who you think they are.”

About Sonya

Sonya’s a nerd—a cool nerd—who loves science, books, make-up and unicorns. She even has unicorn slippers and unicorn plushes adorn her office. It’s not obsession (or so she says), it’s simply an ode to her imaginative side. 

She believes in fairytales and in the beautiful things a mind can conjure. She’s a firm believer of empowering the crazy fictional ideas, putting them down on paper (figurative paper because she’s not a fan of writing in notebooks), and letting them flourish into a story. Sometimes that story is about psychos and murders.

Don’t believe me? Ask her in any of her social media. She’s all about those connections.

“There’s so much potential in a dream, not exploring it seems like such a waste of something absolutely beautiful.”
