Turn Up the Heat (Second Chances #1) by Serena Bell - Blog Tour, Excerpt, Review & Giveaway

Turn Up the Heat: A Second Chances Novel - Serena Bell

There are some pretty intense sex scenes involving Lily's need to be dominated and taken roughly - so this might not be for everyone. The story line is good, the sexual connection is great, but I didn't feel the emotional connection between them until almost the end of the book. The beginning and ending are great, but I would have liked the middle to have more "showing" rather than "telling" about the characters feelings.

I received an ARC via NetGalley for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own

"Hostile Eyewitness: Serena Manchester Series Book One by Tyora Moody

What I liked from this novel....

I found this first Serena Manchester series quite a interesting read. I look forward to more good series from this author because she really give the reader a interesting and captivating read that will keep your attention from the beginning to the very end. I found this read one of a murder mystery. Well, what will you expect as Serena is a reporter and as she is getting her health back from from a horrible head injury that had happened to her earlier on and from that to returning to her home town after twenty five years due to her aunts' death...then who would have thought that from a convenience store visit would start up a chain of things that will keep Serena involved in this mystery seeing that it is involving a family member. Will Serena be able to pick herself up from all that had happened to her and get back into her reporter skills and solve this mystery? All I can say be ready for a murder mystery to be solved, a lots of family drama and maybe a starting of a romance with a long time friend? You will just have to pick up this well written novel to see for yourself how well it is presented to the readers. I will say I loved how this author gives the reader the whole story...no cliffhangers here! THANK YOU!
