4 Star Blaize
Blaize and the Maven: The Energetics Book 1 - Ellen Bard

 

She’s a powerful but inexperienced energetic and she’s just passed her first Chakra Trial, Manipura, fire. She’s looking forward to some taking some time from her energetic studies but instead, Blaize is being sent to train in her second energy – Anja, or the mind. Quinn would rather be devoting his time to unlocking the prophecy that his disturbing dreams of the destruction of the energetic dreams are showing him that take on a trainee. But when it becomes obvious that need to work together, they both have secrets that could destroy their partnership and have a far greater importance than they realize.

 

This series debut story is a thrilling read in a fascinating new world where the characters are able to manipulate various types of energy through their bodies. The characters are strong, compelling and easily capture the readers’ attentions and their relationship is full of sizzling chemistry, flying sparks, steamy passion and emotional turbulence, all of which combine to make the story interesting and enjoyable, especially since the relationship starts off on the wrong foot and remains a bit rocky throughout.

 

The plot is steady to fast paced and full of thrilling suspense that draws the readers in, igniting the curiosity and adrenaline pumping excitement that keeps readers biting their nails in anticipation of what will happen. While Blaize is a bit predictable in some her actions, she also has plenty of surprises for the readers as well and the story has enough twists and turns to keep readers on their toes and the readers should be prepared for some new vocabulary (there is a very helpful glossary at the end of the story) and fascinatingly unique elements in this exhilarating read.

New Release Review! Desperate Deception (Heroes Rising #1 / Brotherhood Protector World) Desiree Holt!

 

I am headed to Montana to meet Zane Halstead who is being recruited by the Sheriff but on his way to the interview, he asked to take Lainie Taggert for her protection! Enjoy and don't forget to add DESPERATE DECEPTION the 1st book in the Heroes Rising series  by Desiree Holt which is part of the Brotherhood Protector world to your shelves! 

 

 

 

 

She’d only be safe if she got away…

 

Lainie Taggert needed to break away from her abusive relationship before it killed her, but Sonny Fitzgerald had all the keys to controlling her. Until she landed in the hospital with bruises and broken bones. And her friend, Drea Halstead, convinced her they had to spirit her away.

 

His life was in limbo…

 

Zane Halstead was rootless after three tours with the SEALs, medically discharged and not sure what to do with himself. When Sheriff Alex Rossi in Montana reached out to him with an offer to join his staff, he thought, what the hell? A house came with it along with two horses he could work with. But then his sister pleaded with him to take a battered woman with him and keep her safe. How could he say no?

 

But the best laid plans and all that…

 

They never expected to fall for each other, Zane with his determination to stay single and Lainie with her nightmares and a vicious bully after her. And a rich one at that. But chemistry and emotions have their own plans, and when Zane gets word Lainie’s ex is on her trail, he realizes he’ll do anything to keep her safe…and for himself. With the help of Sheriff Alex Rossi, he is ready to take on the enemy for his woman.

New Release Review! Breathless With Her (Less Than #1 / Montgomery Ink) Carrie Ann Ryan!

 

 

I love meeting new people and making friends, so today I am off to meet the Carr siblings and meet a 'Knight' named Devin who rescues Erin Taborn when she makes a devastating discovery! Enjoy and don't forget to add BREATHLESS WITH HER - the 1st book in the new LESS THAN series by Carrie Ann Ryan to your shelves!

 

 

 

 

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan comes a sexy new contemporary series.

 

Devin Carr likes his life. He likes his job, his family, the outlook for his future. Then he meets her. Erin. As soon as he sees her, drunk and wearing a sequined dress as her world crashes down around her and she fights to put on a brave face, he knows what he’s been missing. Her.

 

When Erin Taborn finds her high school sweetheart and husband banging the former head cheerleader of their graduating class at their high school reunion, she tells herself she’ll be fine. She just needs to figure out what fine means. There’s only one problem. Devin. She didn’t plan on him. And for someone who thinks they have all their plans in place, that’s a problem.

 

One she’ll have to find an answer to if this whole friends-with-benefits thing is going to work.

 

If not, she’ll fail just like with everything else.

 

 

 

He likes his life, his job, his family and the outlook for his future. But then Devin Carr meets her and he knows what he’s been missing. Her. When she finds her husband banging the former head cheerleader of their graduating class, Erin Taborn tells herself she’ll be fine. She just needs to figure out what fine means. But she didn’t plan on him. Now she’ll have to find the answer to if this whole friends-with-benefits thing is going to work.

 

The ‘Less Than’ series starts off with an emotionally gripping, sweetheart of a romance that readers can really sink their teeth and their hearts into. The characters are strong, vivid and really stand out to readers, grabbing them by their hearts and refusing to let go. The relationship  between Devin and Erin starts off on a sour note as Erin makes such a devastating discovery and while Devin’s plays the white knight, he know it can’t possible go anywhere. This ‘real’ romance hits readers right in the gut and ensures that they want to feel every emotional twist and turn that happens as Erin and Devin strive to reach a happily ever after.

 

The plot of the story happens at a steady pace that keeps the anticipation building while giving the readers a chance to really get to know the characters which in turn ensures that they are cheering this couple through the ups and downs of a friends-with- benefits relationship to their HEA. The reader’s support of the hero and heroine flipping from one to other, as each make mistakes and overcomes issues in this wonderfully ‘real’ romance that leaves readers breathless.

BREATHLESS WITH HER is the 1st book in the LESS THAN series.

 

The Carr siblings have always been a unit. No matter what came at them, they stood together, even if they didn’t always get along. Of course, that means they’re always in each other’s business. When one of them falls in love, the other three are sure to follow, even when they’re adamantly against it. After all, their parents were the worse example of a stable relationship. Why would they risk what they have now for what could surely fall apart and ruin everything later?

 

Chance encounters of the sequined kind, best friends who aren’t really just your friend, and childhood meet cutes that are anything but cute force the Carr siblings to face what life has brought them. Again.
