Death Cache (A Romance on The Edge Novel) by Tiffinie Helmer

Loving her is murder.

She shouldn't have played...
Gallery owner Tern Maiski has always had a way with men, but the one she gave her heart to disappeared without a word. Now he's competing alongside her and four others in a high-tech treasure hunt, and her pride isn't the only thing on the line. So is her life.

He doesn't play by the rules...
Geophysicist Gage Fallon's relationship with Tern has been cataclysmic from the beginning. He cared too much, too fast and their passion threatened to consume him. Now he's back on firmer ground and competing in a game that will risk more than his heart.

Once their group is dropped off in a remote area near the Arctic Circle, it quickly becomes clear that instead of hunting for treasure, they're the ones being hunted. And the killer is dead serious about caching them in.




I received Death Cache as an ARC and I love it! You can find the e-book on Amazon for $5.99

I rated it 4 of 5 stars:

Tiffinie Helmer hit it out of the park with Death Cache. I really enjoyed the twists and turns this book took. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I laughed, got ticked off and had a few moments of teary-eyedness. Tern is an amazing female character that doesn't take crap from anyone so when she is sent on a trip with her best friend and four ex-boyfriends she only hesitates for a moment. Through out the book as things go from crazy, sexual and down-right scary, Tern keeps her head and tries to figure everything out before the people she cares about get killed. Gage is a sexy male character that has the wrong views of love and made a few mistakes he regrets and a few he doesn't. He is level headed and when things get rough he keeps a clear head, most of time. The book keeps you guessing and you entranced as you try to figure everything out before it ends.

Midnight Sky was a very compelling book to read. I was caught within the first few pages. This is the first book I've read by Jan and I look forward to reading more of her work. The plot draws the reader along making want to see what's going to happen next! The character personalities and development makes them seem so real. I hated for the book to end.
It's a great read!

Still living in the small town of Swansboro, North Carolina, twenty-nine-year-old Julie is emotionally ready to make a commitment to someone again. But who? Should it be Richard Franklin, the handsome, sophisticated engineer who treats her like a queen? Or Mike Harris, the down-to-earth nice guy who was her husband's best friend? Choosing one of them should bring her more happiness than she's had in years. Instead, Julie is soon fighting for her life in a nightmare spawned by a chilling deception and jealousy so poisonous that it has become a murderous desire...

A compelling story of love and healing. I really enjoyed this book. The dog is a great addition to this story and he brings great changes to what co-characters are expected to be. The Hero and Heroine are so detailed and their development both as characters and in their relationship makes this book really worth reading.

The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks

When confronted by raging fires or deadly accidents, volunteer fireman Taylor McAden feels compelled to take terrifying risks to save lives.

When a raging storm hits his small Southern town, single mother Denise Holton's car skids off the road. The young mom is with her four-year-old son Kyle, a boy with severe learning disabilities and for whom she has sacrificed everything. Taylor McAden finds her unconscious and bleeding, but does not find Kyle. When Denise wakes, the chilling truth becomes clear to both of them: Kyle is gone. During the search for Kyle, the connection between Taylor and Denise takes root. Taylor doesn't know that this rescue will be different from all the others.

An Amazing read. I love the detail the author went into about the story plot. The details and description bring the book to life and makes the reader feel like they are really there.

The Adventures of Anna... At the Aquarium by D. L. Bentley

In this kids picture book, the
series continues the educational adventures of Anna, her friend Susan and her
parents going to the Aquarium.  The book's
format remains the same with more beautiful, engaging and appealing pictures
intermingled with the text in a very non-traditional and intriguing format that
immediately catches the reader's attention.

The Adventures of Anna At the Aquarium is a really good children's book. Like in the first book it's very educational and the picture association helps little kids to learn what certain things are and how to lock an image to an item or word. I really enjoy the fact that the author doesn't go through the whole location and bog down the book with detail and information. Again, the dialogue was a bit dragging and repetitive in spots but it's easy to overlook when you get to learn about sea life.

The Adventures of Anna ... At The Zoo by D. L. Bentley

The Anna series is an educational adventure series of books for toddlers that first takes Anna and her parents on a trip to the Zoo. The books are informative and interesting books for kids but that parents will enjoy as well. There are many beautiful, engaging and appealing pictures intermingled with the text in a very non-traditional and intriguing format that immediately catches the reader’s attention.

The story is further highlighted with exciting, little-known facts about animals that you would not necessarily learn at a real trip to the zoo. For instance, the word giraffe means camel plus leopard (a big tall camel with spots), that camels eat fish, and that zebra’s stripes are like fingerprints (none are alike).

I really enjoyed this book. The educational value is very appreciated for children. Picture association increases the educational value for younger kids and adds a bit of fun to the book. My only issue with this book is that the dialogue drags on a bit. But it leaves a personal touch that identifies with children.

The Trouble with Toads by Danyelle Leafty

Once upon a time a young girl wanted revenge. But first, she wanted to be beautiful.

Twelve-year-old Bettony has read enough stories that begin with once upon a time to know what happens to the ugly stepsisters at the end, and she’s determined to escape that fate by any means necessary—even by magic.

Unfortunately, when it comes to magic, there is no place for regret, refunds, or exchanges. Even if you accidentally turn your older sister into a toad.

If Bettony wants her happily ever after to end well, she’s going to have to find a way to turn her sister back into a person before their mother finds out she’s been dabbling with magic and grounds her for life. And if she wants to do that, she’s going to need more magic.

Tracking down the family magic turns out to be surprisingly easy. Now, if only it came with instructions . . .

I love when an author comes up with a fairy tail and adds in a few twists and turns from classics. This book is a bit slow to begin with  but once it gets going, it's really cute. The behavior between the sisters really grabs a reader and makes then think of the relationship they have with their own siblings. This book is full of magic and life lessons that the sisters, and in essence the reader, learn as the book carries on.

Rowena Through the Wall:Expanded Edition (Land's End-Book#1) by Melodie Campbell

Book 1 in Land's End series

"Is that a broadsword on your belt, or are you just glad to see me?"

When Rowena falls through her classroom wall and lands in an alternate world, she doesn’t count on being kidnapped―not once, but twice―and the stakes get higher as the men get hotter.

College instructor Rowena Revel has a magical gift with animals and a huge problem. Gorgeous tunic-clad men keep walking through the wall of her classroom. If that isn't enough, she's being haunted by sexy dreams in a rugged land. Curious, she checks out the wall and falls through a portal into the world of her dreams.

After years of war, women are scarce. Rowena finds herself in a heap of man-trouble when she 'accidentally' marries distant cousin Ivan. Enter Cedric, who dabbles in black magic and has an even blacker heart. Throw in a Viking, the local wolf-king, a band of brigands and a goth-clad student who follows her through the portal, and Rowena is off on a rollicking adventure.

Unwanted husbands keep piling up, but that doesn't stop her from falling for the wrong brother. Not only that, she has eighteen year old Kendra to look out for and a war to prevent. Good thing she has the ability to go back through the wall. Or does she?

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: This special expanded edition features an all-new ending based on a sequel I had planned. Due to the overwhelming response from readers who were too excited to wait, here's the entire story, including the thrilling conclusion to Rowena's journey.


I found it as a Free Run on Amazon and its now available for $2.99.

 She doesn’t want wild and raunchy, just a little spice…

He wants commitment and long-term, not a quick roll…

Two best friends who both want each other, but for very different reasons.

The walls are thin in the Apple Trail Apartments. Ever since she moved in after her divorce, Stephanie has listened to her best friend next door getting busy. By the bed knocking on the wall and the gasping women, Stephanie wants to be one of those women on the other side. She just has to get the courage up to ask.

The only woman Parker Madison ever wanted long-term was the very-married Stephanie. He’s tried finding a substitute, but there just isn’t another woman like her. Now that she's available, he just has to keep his hands to himself for a respectable length of time after her divorce. He’s planning to make a move after eight months. Stephanie takes him by surprise after three. Does he fulfill her request and risk becoming that best friend rebound guy or wait it out to better his chances for happily ever after?

Through the Wall is a funny and erotic story. I enjoy his reluctance at jumping into anything with her and the fact that he wants her to really think about it. It's a modern twist that the pursuer is the female this time. The story was well written and an enjoyable read. My only real critique it that the story feels like it should be longer,almost like it needs a few more pages to really tie it all together.
Great Read

I really enjoyed this read. Hades is an adorable Hell Hound and is a complete ham. Getting glimpses of Hannah's friends and a bit of their story makes the reader intrigued enough to be interested in purchasing the other books in the series to find out the whole story. Aidan is so sweet and your heart breaks for him. Diel's description is very sexy and I can picture a hot demon in my mind when it's his part. I really enjoyed the Hannah/Diel interaction and relationship. My only critique is the story is too short.

Out of Sight (The Men of T-FLAC: The Wrights, Book 5) by Cherry Adair

  
Sometimes chemistry is a matter of life and death. . . .
Though her confidence is badly shaken by a training accident, A. J. Cooper vows to become an excellent T-FLAC operative. She is everything the antiterrorist agency looks for—she’s smart, resourceful, and a crack shot. Eager to prove herself to her instructor, the highly regarded Kane Wright, A. J. takes on a difficult and potentially deadly assignment. A success in the field could be just the thing she needs to make her career with the agency—and working so closely with the extraordinary and irresistibly sexy Kane is a fantasy come to life.

Kane Wright is a master of disguise, hiding his powerful attraction for A. J. in the name of professionalism. But when she doesn’t bounce back quickly after her accident, Kane’s desire becomes concern. In the field, even a moment’s hesitation can turn a routine operation into a deadly one. With A. J. taking a lead position in this mission, Kane knows he won’t be able to take his eyes off his gorgeous tomboy trainee. Under the hot desert sun, even as they struggle to unravel a madman’s devious plot, their long denied passion will finally boil over. . . .

On Thin Ice (The Men of T-FLAC: The Wrights, Book 6) by Cherry Adair

 With Kiss and Tell, Cherry Adair wowed readers and set their pulses racing. The breathless, adventure-filled books that followed transformed Adair into one of romantic suspense’s brightest stars. No,w in her long-awaited hardcover debut, the award-winning author thrills us with a wild ride through the frozen north, where there are dangers greater than the bitter cold–and passions hot enough to melt ice.
Lily Munroe thought she had married an honest, dependable man, but she was painfully mistaken. It didn’t take long for her once-loving husband to become a secretive stranger–mixing with shady people and even shadier dealings. Although Lily nursed him through a sudden terminal illness, her marriage was over long before he passed away. During that difficult time, only her passion for the exhilarating Iditarod race across Alaska gave her something to look forward to–and she channeled her emotions into training dogs for the grueling event. Now single again, she’s more determined than ever to win the race, awaken her sense of self, and leave her past behind.

In the competition, the person to beat is two-time winner Derek Wright, a man Lily dubs Mr. Wrong. Extremely sexy and devilishly charming, Derek is the consummate playboy. Or is he? Although Lily can’t deny her intense attraction, she believes he is dangerous to her scarred heart. Little does she know that Derek is an elite antiterrorism agent–or how desperately she’ll need to depend on his skills to keep her alive once the race is under way.

Great book. I love the detail in this book. It's a great pace and keeps your attention all the way through. I love the dogs! Dingbat is precious! I love that Cherry Adair keeps with the idea of dog sledding and pulls it into the action and events throughout the book. Derrick is SO sexy and I love his personality and determination to get what or who he wants. I really loved the end but I won't be giving any spoilers in this review...
I will say that I love that Cherry made the effort to understand twins as Derrick in On Thin Ice and Kane in Out of Sight are twin brothers. They compliment each other but aren't exact copies of each other personality wise and as a twin myself I love it!

The Haunted Spouse by Heather MacAllister

 RT Book Reviews Reviewers' Choice nominee for Best Harlequin Romance

A girl, a guy, and a haunted house

Architect Frizzie Lizzie, the Scream Queen, designs haunted houses. Architect Jared Rutledge's classic buildings are designs for the ages. Jared believes Lizzie is wasting her talent--and frequently tells her so. Lizzie tells him he needs to loosen up. That's probably why their business partnership didn't last any longer than their marriage. But now, Jared needs Lizzie's help in fixing a haunted house he designed to raise money for a physical therapy center. After she recovers from the shock of Jared asking for her help, Lizzie realizes it's the perfect opportunity to show him that she doesn't design "frivolous structures" and at last win his respect. Although if she's honest, Lizzie is hoping she'll win more than that.

Previously published in 1993 as a Harlequin Romance (r) by Heather Allison

I love the twist Ms. Bast put on the whole mate idea. It's a great read and if you are a Were lover you'll be addicted in no time. Very sweet but riveting as well. I greatly enjoyed it.

I reviewed it at 5 of 5 stars.
I am a huge fan of Rebecca York and anything that goes bump in the night. So when I found Dark Moon for free I had to have it.
I read it all in one sitting it was that addictive! It's a great story with an amazing plot and keeps you drawn into the story so it feels like you are with the characters. I hated the ending because it did just that....ended *pouts* Great story and I look forward to the next.

Ice Cold by Cherry Adair

I received Ice Cold as a birthday present last year and I loved it! It's available on Amazon for $7.99

It reviewed it at 5 of 5 stars.
I really enjoyed this book. It was entertaining and kept my attention throughout the book. I love Navarro's nickname the Italian Stallion and I get a kick out of female characters being named with what are usually endearment terms. I enjoy the development of the relationship and how they work together as partners on a mission as well. Great job Cherry! I look forward to the next!
Hugs

Roadside ASSistance (Gay Erotic Stories #2) by Evan J. Xavier

I found this book through a Free Run on Amazon. It's now available for $2.99 on Amazon.

I reviewed it at 4 of 5 stars.
It's well written. Very erotic and even a bit romantic. The reminder of their previous knowledge of each other was a surprise but a good one.

The Mating Call by Marie Stephens

I did a read and review for this author. She's a very nice lady to talk to. Her book is available on Smashword for $3.99

I reviewed it at 2 of 5 stars
The information given for The Mating Call sounds great! I was looking forward to reading it since I love paranormal and especially Werewolves. I was disappointed for the most part with the book. 
There were several grammar and spelling errors that should have been caught in the editing phase. They tended to be distracting, especially when the book was speaking of Lucian and would say her instead of he or him.
In my opinion Samantha raged and yelled too much in the beginning when normally questions would be asked. 
It's a bit hard to read in some spots because of the sections being bogged down with too much detail or detail placed in odd spots. I love knowing what characters look like but it can be broken up into multiple spots. Also, usually you describe people when they are looking at each other not after one leaves the room. There also happens to be a lot of spots that repeat the same thing over and over in a small area.
The pace is a bit rushed, I understand novellas are small and you need to get from point a to point b but more filler would help spread out the plot and made for an easier read.
It does get better as you read at about the middle but it gets really hurried at the end. More could have happened or something could have been expanded on such as her gift with dreams which is only mentioned in passing.
The plot has great potential and the story would be great if it was expressed better.
