What happens when you fall for the perfect guy...twice...in one day?
Brenna Blixen spent her freshman year homeschooling in Denmark; now that she's back in the States, she's determined to make her sophomore year unforgettable. And by unforgettable, she imagined awesome classes, fun friendships, and maybe a little romance. What she got was a whole lot of romance, and all at once. The same day that dark, brooding Saxon Maclean charmed her with his killer good looks and whip-smart wit, Jake Kelly stole her breath away with his heart-wrenching smile and intelligent, thoughtful focus. But Saxon is a proud player who makes it clear that he doesn't know why he can't get Brenna off of his mind and out of his system, and Jake's sweet and humble attitude hides a secret past life that might be darker and more complex than Brenna is willing to deal with. Complicating the matter is the fact that Saxon and Jake were once best friends and are now arch-enemies...and the more Brenna finds out about their connection to each other, the more intrigued and worried she becomes.Between keeping the peace with her lovingly over-protective parents, designing t-shirts for her high school's rising punk band, keeping up her grades in classes split between academic and technical high school, and running the track like a maniac, Brenna has enough to worry about with out juggling two guys who make her heart thud and drive her crazy all at once.

She has to make a choice, but how is she supposed to do that when giving her heart to one of them might mean breaking the other's?

My Review:
I am going to start off by saying that I do not normally go the self pubbed way..However i was delightfully tickled by this amazing book!
We find ourselves meeting Brenna, a 16 year old girl just home from Denmark. She has decided to go through a program called Shre Time..regular high school and tech school(she chose Graphic design). She finds herself torn between two guys, who seem to have more history with eavhother than they let on. Saxon is from her regular school and jake is from the tech school. Saxon is the "bad" boy in this books. I can picture him in all his "bad"glory..leaning against a wall..ohh..sorry I drifted there for a minute(hehehe)  Jake is the guy that is the sweetest out of the two. While he has his own bad boy quirks all around I think he is a sweetheart. you can just tell he has a major thing for Brenna. This book is filled with embracing moments. Times when we can all sit back and think....man, that happened to me. I could really sympathize with brenna. I myself have been pulled in different directions by different guys.(Don't worry I'm married now!) I often found myself wanting to climb into the book and live the life right along side of Brenna.
I am usually  a paranormal girl but I must say this is a great book! It was a nice change from my normal everyday vampires and werewolves! I am so glad that I was asked to be a part of Liz's Double Clutch tour!
 Liz really did an amazing job and I look forward to hearing more about her and reading more books from her in the future!

Guest Post: M.L. Guida



We are excited to present to you The Finding Ms. Wright Blog Tour. Here's an interview with the third author from the new Finding Ms. Wright Anthology book coming out November 15th on ebook and November 25th in print. Thanks so much M. L. Guida for being with us today to tell about your story in the book.



History Behind the Anthology
By M.L. Guida

I actually started writing Cassandra about a year before the anthology started. I had
torn my ACL skiing at Copper Mountain, was laid up after surgery and wanted to write about
something I know which is skiing. I feel in love with my characters, Eric and Cassandra and
wanted to tell the story. When the three of us decided to write an anthology, I convinced the
other two authors to base their stories in the mountains. Cassandra’s story was set in Frisco,
Colorado, which is near Copper Mountain Ski Resort.
I added to Cassandra and strengthened the goal, motivation and conflict with all of my
characters. In fact, I decided to write a sequel so I had to make the villain, Gryffin the Torturer,
goals stronger. He needed to be more than a flat character. I knew I wanted to write about Eric’s
nephew, Toby. Toby was tortured in Cassandra and this impacts him in the sequel. You’ll have
to read what happens to poor Toby!
All of our stories were unique and have different depth of darkness, mine being the
darkest. I have knack for tormenting my characters. I believe I lean towards this, because of
my career as a social worker and some of the scary tales I have heard. I was raised Catholic and
Catholicism has lots of weird, strange, paranormal stories. I blended these together to create
stories. The supernatural has always been a fascination of mine.
My story was based on a sinkhole in South America. In this case, I surfed the internet
and stumbled upon a sinkhole in South America. The huge sinkhole sunk over 100 feet into
the ground. A highway had caved into the hole. I broke out in shivers when I saw it, because I
wondered what would happen if it stretched to hell and something crawled out. I took it one step
further and thought about my favorite mountain town, Frisco. What if a sinkhole happened in
the middle of the night at Walter Byron Park? Hmmm…what if a demon flew out searching for
his mate? Eric Wyvern comes to life for me. What would happen if the heroine could see ghosts
and a demon goddess from the Underworld? The demon goddess in my book is the Wraith, and
I have to admit she was fun to write about. She is shrouded in a dark cloak and all you can see
is her skeletal hands and red burning eyes. When she talks, she hisses. She is one of my favorite
characters in this book.
So, the next time you see a sinkhole, imagine where it would go? What lives down
there? What wants to escape into our world?



Chapter One

Cassandra Wright woke with a start. Sunlight peered through the half open red and gold drapes.
A matching dark red and gold comforter draped over her. Where was she? She sat up in bed
and looked around. Her best friend from college, Lilly Grace, lightly snored across the room in
her twin bed. Cassandra shook her head and plopped back down. That’s right. Skiing. She was
at the Galena Mountain Street Inn in Frisco, not on top of a snow bank with Mr. Hot Lips’s arms
holding her close.
Her long black U2 shirt-shirt bunched up around her waist. Sweat streaked down her face.
She rolled to the side of her double bed, grabbed a tissue from the nightstand and wiped her
forehead and cheeks. She moistened her lips. God, she felt as though she’d
finished running a marathon or at least one kind of marathon. Who ever thought that having sex
all night would drum up a sweat, a pounding heart and sore muscles like running in the Boulder
Boulder?
It had been him again. He vanished – a figment of her imagination. Like always, the same
hollow feeling swept over her. She would be alone.
Leaning against her headboard she caught her breath. Lilly flickered awake and
glanced over at her. “Cassie, why is your face so red? You’re sweating. Did you have
that same
dream again?”
Cassandra shook her head. “Yeah, but this time he was so…so….”
Lilly cocked her eyebrow. “That good, huh?” She gave her a teasing grin. “God, I haven’t
seen you blush this bad since we went to see the Bridesmaid movie last month.”
“I mean,” Cassandra stammered. She wadded up the tissue and threw it into a nearby
trashcan. “Come on, the opening scene – she’s practically screwing him ten different ways.”
Lilly tossed her black hair behind her. “You should have seen your face.”
Cassandra kicked the heavy quilt off of her. “Whatever.”
“God, Cassie everybody has erotic dreams, even virgins.”
Cassandra’s face burned hotter. She hated being the only one who guarded her virginity and
good ole Lilly never failed to remind her. The opportunities had been plenty, but how could
Cassandra explain it? No guy compared to the man in her dreams. An excuse? Maybe. Was
she a chicken shit? Definitely.

ARC Review of Trance by Kelly Meding


Summary

Kelly Meding’s war-ravaged Los Angeles is ground zero for the ultimate Meta human showdown in this sexy, action-packed new series.
Fifteen years ago, Teresa “Trance” West was a skilled telepath and a proud member of the Ranger Corps. But ever since the Rangers were inexplicably rendered powerless at the climax of the devastating Meta War, she’s bounced from one dead-end job to another. Now her powers have reappeared just as mysteriously as they vanished— only they’re completely transformed and more potent than ever. And they’re threatening to destroy her.
Trance heads to Los Angeles to track down the surviving Rangers and discover who restored her powers—and why—but a phantom enemy is determined to kill them before they can reassemble. As they dodge his deadly attacks and come to terms with their new role as heroes, Trance and the rest of the team set out to annihilate the sinister madman . . . only to discover their own powers are his greatest weapons.

Review

This is something really different than what I've read before, I've never read anything with super hero powers. And yes everybody says it's like X-Men and I'm a huge fan of X-Men so reading this worked out great. I've never read anything else by Kelly Meding's so I'm a newbie to her work. I really liked the book interesting characters with cool powers, I started out reading it slowly because I didn't know if I was going to be into it, but gradually I did. Interesting story and characters kept me going.

But when her new case forces her to overuse her magic, it might be the last mystery the Grave Witch ever gets to solve...

Review: Blood Of The Demon

Blood of the Demon (Kara Gillian, #2)Blood of the Demon by Diana Rowland

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL, MAN AND DEMON, SHE’S ABOUT TO FACE THE ONE THING SHE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SURVIVE.


Welcome to the world of Kara Gillian, a cop with a gift. Not only does she have the power of “othersight” to see what most people can’t even imagine, but she’s become the exclusive summoner of a demon lord. Or maybe it’s the other way around. The fact is, with two troublesome cases on her docket and a handsome FBI agent under her skin, Kara needs the help of sexy, insatiable Lord Rhyzkahl more than he needs her. Because these two victims, linked by suspicious coincidence, haven’t just been murdered. Something has eaten their souls.


It’s a case with roots in the arcane, but whose evil has flowered among the rich, powerful, and corrupt in Beaulac, Louisiana. And as the killings continue, Kara soon realizes how much there’s still to learn about demons, men, and things that kill in the night—and how little time she has to learn it.



Okay so here it it is.....



This is more a detective/forensic type novel...while there are paranormal elements( the main being that kara is a demon summoner-- it seemed to me like the main emphasis was more on the police work than the summoning. Given the fact that the public does not know about her summoning abilities.

However, dont get me wrong..I loved this book! There was just enough paranormal to keep me in it! karais a summoner so thats what she does..summons(lol)...a Demon Lord at that. By the end of this book you will be intranced in the way everything is merged..romance, police work, paranormal...I was! This is the 2nd book in this series and while there is a story arc it is also a stand alone novel, so either way you decide to read it it will read well!



I can not wait until I get a chance to read the next book in the series!

Linger by Maggie Stiefvater Review


Summary

In Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past . . . and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves . . . and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.
At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love -- the light and the dark, the warm and the cold -- in a way you will never forget.


Review

Well I loved this book just as good as the first book Shiver. The author writes so beautifully and brings the main characters out more and adds a new character Cole, read the book to meet him. I can't wait to read the last book Forever and sad that, that will be the end to this great story of Grace and Sam. I really recommend this series so far if you want to read something different in the paranormal genre, this series stands alone than any other series I've read.

Q: In light of 11.11.11 and Veteran’s Day tell us about your favorite soldier and how he or she is saving the world. Fictional or real life.

I have so many favorite soldiers..Many cousins and uncles, a grandpa
and In-laws. But I have to say that my dad is by far my favorite
soldier! He served in the Navy during Vietnam. i am so proud to have
him as my dad. He is such a tough man. Funny how as an adult we look
back and think...huh? I guess dad was just trying to teach me to be a
good person. He doesnt talk about the war much. He will if you ask
him, but he usually leaves the bad stuff out. he talks mostly about
the guys and the fun they had(which I know isn't much it was Vietnam
after all). He told me about this one time that he and a buddy of his
were on leave for 2 days and they got shnokered and passed out on the
beach...ended up with major sun burn all over them..They freaked
because back then "you were property of the US government"(his
words)..so they went back on ship and got 2 huge jars(he said they
were the size of mayo jars) of Noxema..and tried to walk around and do
their jobs like nothing was wrong or hurting!
.The men who fought in Vietnam are some of the strongest people I have
ever met..they put everything on the line for their country and really
got treated badly when they came home.
My dad will forever be my favorite soldier!
He has numerous medals and citations..but those dont matter much is
what he will tell you....
They do to me ,dad...and I know they do to the men you saved when that
plane crashed on deck...they also matter to every American who you
served to protect.

Thanks Dad.......and Thank You to all the men and women past and
present who chose to put their lives on the line so i could live a
safe and free life!

Here is a picture of my dad right before he started serving in the Navy.....

Finding Ms. Wright Blog Tour


Well we are so excited to present to you The Finding Ms. Wright Blog Tour. Here's an interview with the first author from the new Finding Ms. Wright Anthology book coming out November 15th on ebook and November 25th in print. Hope you enjoy for the next two weeks as we interview the other two authors that helped write the anthology. Thanks so much Lori for being with us today to tell about your story in the book.



As a reader, I always wondered how authors developed their characters. In the books I truly
enjoyed, the characters seemed to walk of the page, sit down next to me, and tell me their story.
As I read, I would find myself totally associating and sympathizing with the heroine, and, of
course, falling in love with the hero. I would root for both of them to overcome whatever it was
they needed to overcome, and would sigh with relief, and satisfaction, at the happily ever after.
Wow – seeing it spelled out that way it all seems quite sappy. But I’m a romantic, and that’s
what I love. A sappy, happy ending.
Evelyn and Alexander introduced themselves to me at different times during my writing journey.
Alexander, I’m going to call him Alex, even though he really dislikes that, was first. He walked
right in one morning and started telling me all about how he was waiting for his love, The One,
to awaken him. And could I please get a move on, because he had things to do, namely capturing
an evil Wizard and stopping an inter-world war.
I got moving!
Evelyn came soon afterwards. I was working with my critique group at the time when she
finally noticed I’d been calling for her. She strode over and immediately introduced herself,
saying, “Hello. I’m Evelyn. Evelyn Wright. But you can call me Evie.” Looking over my
shoulder she watched me write notes. “What are you doing?” she asked.
And so she was born.
Getting these two together was quite interesting. I had a basic idea of where I wanted to go, and
what I wanted to so, and once I put it in motion, they just picked everything up and ran off with
it! It’s been quite an interesting ride, with many twists and turns.
I’ve discovered that Evie is a true study of contrasts. She’s hesitant, even suspicious at first, but
once she embraces something, she gives it her all. She is strong, independent, and willful, except
of course when has a weaker moment and needs to be held and comforted and surrounded by
love. To me, she sounds like a typical woman.
Alex, on the other hand, is strong, steadfast, and true. He knows exactly what he needs to do, and
how he needs to do it. He’s hard working and not above getting his hands dirty. He’s loyal to
his people and not above doing whatever it takes to protect those who he considers his, namely
Evelyn and his two sisters, Annora and Analiese. He’s also regal, arrogant, and haughty, but
what else would you expect from a Prince? So, I supposed in his own way, he’s also a study of
contrasts.
The chemistry between these two began immediately. As soon as Evie set eyes on her Prince, she
was enchanted. The story of how he came to be in the chamber where she found him fascinated
her, but she was sick with the thought that maybe she was the one and only person in the world
that could help him. There was such responsibility associated with the whole thing. But he
was just so hot, and there was much at stake, how could she say no? In true Evie fashion, she
pondered and questioned, then made up her mind, took hold of it all, and ran with it.
For Alex, it was love at first sight. She had rescued him from the purgatory he’d endured for
almost 500 years. How could he not love her? Being totally attracted to her was just a bonus.
He loved everything about her - her thoughtful periods as well as her manic. He admired her
independence and her strength, and adored her vulnerability and emotions. In true Prince
Alexander fashion, he captures her in a very large net that gives her the illusion of freedom, but
keeps her close to him. He always opens the net when she sees it and freaks out, but she never
quite leaves it. She’ll walk to the opening, turn and see him waiting for her within the net, and
goes back to him.
Now that’s love!
Together, these two can do anything. I hope they touch my reader’s hearts as much as they did
mine.
Enjoy!
Lori


Excerpt
...That was only one of the facts that made the town unique. There was also the almost
pristine state of the structures. Abandoned buildings soon lost their human feel and fell into
disrepair, but this town was different. It was almost as if people had been living there until
just yesterday. Add the strange fact that although it was located close to several modern day
mountain towns, it had never been discovered.
It sure made you think twice.
Seafarers tell the tale of the Flying Dutchman – a ghost ship doomed to sail the seas
forever. Was this town similar, doomed to exist in a pristine state, but forever without people?
She had been busy pondering the supernatural possibilities of just such an occurrence
when her boot met with a heavy object strewn across the path. Whatever it was had halted
her forward progress and effectively trapped her foot. She’d hopped once, twice trying to free
herself from the entanglement, with no success. The conflict between her trapped lower body
and her advancing upper half caused her to lose balance. She’d fallen heavily, landing on her
hands and one knee. The impact scattering those pebbles along the path that were not trapped
beneath her palms, gouging into the tender skin. The thick material of her jeans had protected
her knees, but the loose rocks and gravel had stung as they poked and dug into the soft tissue
of her hands. She’d quickly sat back on her heels and dusted off her hands, looking for blood.
There hadn’t been any, but the indentations and discoloration where the larger rocks embedded
themselves indicated she would likely have a bruise or two come morning. A quick query of the
rest of her only turned up a slight throb in her right knee. She’d rolled over onto her hip and then
sat down in the middle of the path, rubbing the soreness out.
She remembered thinking “What the hell did I trip over?” before she’d looked around. She’d
seen the sword almost immediately. It had been laying there, in a scabbard, along a mountain
path in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
And she’d tripped over the damn thing. What are the chances?
Looking at it, she’d been fascinated, almost enchanted. It hadn’t been just any old sword. It
was shiny and long, with a jewel encrusted hilt, and housed in an elaborately decorated metal
scabbard. Without thinking, she’d reached out and picked it up.
The second she’d touched it, the metal emitted a thrumming noise and a low vibration,
almost as if the metal were singing. A pulse had run from her hand up her arm and into her
shoulder. In the next second, she’d gone from being sprawled along a forest path, sprinkled
with bits of sunshine filtering through the fragrant pines, to sitting on her ass in a fancy covered
enclosure of some kind.
And all she could think was “What the hell just happened?”
Evie looked around her, trying to gauge where she was in the available dim light. The
spacious chamber that held her was circular and constructed from what looked to be blocks
of white stone, possibly marble. It was a large space, so much so that she had to crane her
neck from side to side to see the entirety of the room. Several darkened alcoves intermittently
branched off from the main chamber.
The space vaguely resembled an inner sanctuary of a church, or perhaps a very elaborate
tomb. She’d never been to the Taj Mahal, but she’d seen pictures and this place did bear some
resemblance.
There was no noise, no low thrum of traffic. No sweet song of birds or the hushed
movements of animals. It was comfortably warm, so much so that she could feel neither
warmth nor coolness. It was a perfect environment - calm, comfortable, and quiet. There was
an odor, but it was hard to place. Neither pleasant nor unpleasant, Evie found it unusual yet
familiar, rather like the scents she experienced the last time she was treasure hunting in her
grandmother’s attic.
“I should have listened to you, Momma.” Evie’s voice rang out through the chamber, echoing
wildly as it ran along the arched ceiling. There it splintered into multiple veins before returning to
her in a cacophony of sound.
The perverted distortion gave the appearance of others in the chamber, their voices flowing
over hers in waves. Each new swell resembled her, but it was not her voice.
She couldn’t see well enough to be sure, but the sounds around her indicated she may
not be alone in the dim light. Her fight or flight instinct immediately kicked in, sending an
unpleasant surge of hot adrenalin bursting forth from her gut. It burned as it spread through her
body. A sheen of perspiration soon coated her overheated skin, the contrast making her feel
agitated and trembly. The horrifying thought that she could be trapped with someone or worse,
something left her terrified.
What the hell was going on here?...


Lori’s love of reading has transcended to include penning her
own tales of romance. She is experimenting with writing in
several different genres, including paranormal – a definite
favorite. “There is just so much you can do when you step
outside the known world,” she explains “and creating a
paranormal story allows you to take yourself and your readers
anywhere your imagination wants to go!” Her debut novella,
Evelyn, will be published as part of the Finding Ms. Wright:
Three Tales of Extraordinary Love anthology available from 5
Prince Publishing in November.

After a one night stand she took off and never looked back. lokan has a hard time with this and eventually finds her and finds that he has a child. Which blows his mind since Soul reapers can't have children(or so he has been told).

So Lokan is stuck in this null zone, a place where souls can be trapped never to go on to the underworld. He is fighting to remember who he is and how he came to be there. His brothers have fought to put all the pieces of him back together to send his body back to him in the Null zone.

So now he has his body back..but not his life....

Enter Brynja..the one woman who ran from him...now must run to him to help him get through the Twelve gates of Osiris' realm. She has had to make a pretty tough decision that will ultimately tear their family apart..just as it was coming together.


~WEll written..i was biting my nails to the very last page. Made me laugh, made me cry, but mostly made me smile! Eve has once again hit it out of the park with this one. I cross my fingers and wait to see if there will be another in her series.....

Loved the fact that even though i had read this series from the first all the way to this one..if I hadn't i would still be able to follow the story. It is suspensful,romantic, and hilarious..a wonderful combination to keep everyone rivoted until the very end!

Been A While

Hello all!

I just wanted to say that as a new blog we are just getting our bearings and figuring this all out. I know it seems like its a while between our reviews but there is a purpose behind it..I promise!


We feel that in order to give a complete, honest and satisfactory review, we will not rush..we will not half complete books, and we will not be pressured to do any of those things.


A good review is written by someone who has the knowledge they need in order to form a complete and honest opinion. If we were to rush through the books that we review would that be acceptable to those of you who come here to find things that would interest you?


I think the answer is NO..it would not be acceptable.


I want to thank all of our loyal followers who have not complained and still continue to follow us.


We <3 you all!


Stay tuned for more reviews and a giveaway closer to the Holidays!!!!!

Blood and Fire

Blood and Fire (McClouds & Friends, #8)Blood and Fire by Shannon McKenna

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is not my typical genre so i have to say I was diving in blind. The story was rather good..kept me rivited to the pages i found myself wondering if things were just a little far fetched at times. There is a lot of bcak story about each chracter in the book, and while normally I love that in a book, this time I think it went a little too long in places. Still if you like romantic suspense i have to say this is definately a book you want to check out. It was funny(although i'm not sure if it was meant to be) in places, and sad in others( the first page almost made me stop reading altogether)...



Definately check it out if you are more of a suspense romance type person!!!
