Searing Ecstasy (The Gaurdians of the Realms #7)
By Setta Jay
SUMMARY
Drake, the powerful dragon and leader of the Guardians, has spent his long life protecting all inhabitants of the four Realms, but fails to save the one who matters most. His mate. In the month since finding her feral, he’s been slowly losing control of his beast and soon he fears the dragon will reign free unleashing it’s fury upon the Realms.
Delia has changed. No longer a carefree young woman, she is now a nightmare in the making. After her abduction and torture she unwillingly houses two beasts and more power than she can ever contain on her own. She can never be released. Nor can she have the male who gives her any semblance of sanity in her new world, the one she craves more than her own freedom.
With unknown enemies on the horizon and yet another God awakened will they lose themselves in the madness of an impossible mating? Or will they come together in searing ecstasy, bonding them in a way that sets them both free?
REVIEW
Received an advanced copy from the author for a honest review.
Wow another great read from Setta! It started off a tad slow, but took off quite well and never looked back..even at the end! Wow!! My head is still reeling after the last chapter! The chemistry of the guardians and their mates is out of this world sexy and hot and their interactions are shower inducing! I didn't think it could get any hotter, but it did. I am glad there were happy endings to the main conflicts of mates from the last edition. Drake is the Gaurdian for me. His dragon is sexy as hell! He is such a caring loyal friend who will fight till the end for you! I can't wait for the next installment! As I said before it keeps getting better and better. The plot thickens and is more intense. Loved it! Read it!

Review:
I
picked this book, because I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and history has
always been my biggest love besides reading, and this covered both of my loves.
I have heard of the Spalding’s before, and it was fun to read about Eliza; she was
such a strong woman never giving up, when many women would have given up.
I
loved how the romance was built up slowly and that even when Eliza knew her
father didn’t approve of Andrew Warren, she still followed her heart. Andrew was like so many young men in that time
frame, who wanted to do things their way and not follow their fathers’ wishes
and dreams. When doing that it’s so easy
to get caught up in the drinking and gambling. God uses people in so many ways,
and you can see just what God had planned when he brought Eliza and Andrew
together.
Flow,
developments of characters were all spot on, I didn’t find any grammatical or punctuation
errors, which is always a plus in my mind. The only reason I don’t feel this is
a five-star read is for the fact it was easy to walk away and come back to it
later.
Summary:
Would
I recommend this book to others? YES
Would
I read other books by this author? YES
Was
this a Novel or Novella? Novel
Is
the book priced correctly? For me no as
I’m a budget reader I don’t buy any e-book over 5 dollars, so to me the e-book
is over priced, but I’d gladly pay the paperback price, but won’t spend the
money on the library binding. I think
publishers should price more for the budget readers and not the high end people
as everyone I know is a budget reader like myself as we are all on the low end
of the middle class and don’t have much room in our month budgets for the more expensive
books.

Crystal(Follow That Dress Book 1)
Crystal(Follow a That Dress Book 1)
By Cherrie Mack
SUMMARY
Insta-passion and insta-love collide in Cherrie Mack's new sizzling pretty woman tale. When an independent, snarky girl from Queens crosses paths with an older uptight CEO, she tells him where to shove his attitude. Unbeknownst to Crystal, she just called her employer a dick. But Mr. Salinger needs to find a girlfriend fast. And Crystal, with her colorful vocabulary and brazen personality, fits the bill. Would she agree to his crazy scheme and play his girlfriend for two weeks?
As they delve into an arrangement based on give and take, Robert and Crystal find themselves in unfamiliar territory. Sexual attraction supersedes their age difference, and they agree on a two-week affair. The result is somewhat unexpected. She doesn’t believe in love; he doesn’t want love. But now that they’re in love, whatever will they do?
REVIEW
Sweet sexy quick read. I liked this book. Crystal was something else! I loved her snarky self! She was a real character though and she has her weaknesses too. The story was slightly predictable, but sweet as hell! The chemistry between her and Robert was hot. I laughed out loud when she asked him if he had a nickname and he said no, and the she asked..what do your lovers call you in bed and he responds Robert. The humor and the current trending topics of the day made the story even more real and possible. Crystal really turned Robert's world upside down. If you are in the mood for a light sexy read this will work nicely! Enjoy!

REVIEW
| Great little read. The author brought on all the emotions: happy, sad, anger, and love. The characters felt real and you could really feel their emotions. Their story was real and wasn't unrealistic. All I can say is that was a hard life. Antonia was a super strong woman always fighting for her children to make them happy and whole even when she was sad and trying to deal with a new life. The only point I got upset with is when she revealed she was illiterate. His reaction to me was unfair and uncalled for. He didn't see her side. Good read!

Childstar 1 (Childstar, #1)
By J.J. McAvoy
SUMMARY
Amelia London is America's sweetheart.

REVIEW
I really loved this book! The characters were so in depth and complicated. I was a little confused at the end though. He has slept with her mom and still is? She blackmails him to sleep with her? Not sure about that. I want to see what happens to these tortured souls. The sex is hot! They have great chemistry. The author captured the rabid fans and how critical they are about the book turning into the movie.
I would give 5 stars! But I don't like serial books just give me the whole thing. I know the author is going to put out the whole book and I know she said straight up she was trying this so I shouldn't complain. I love this author have read since her fan fiction days! She is wonderful and she keeps raising the bar. I will buy whatever she puts out!

Wild Whispers
Wild Whispers
By Cassie Edwards
SUMMARY
Kaylene Shelton's home had always been wherever her father's carnival pitched its tents across the wild frontier. It was a lonely upbringing save for the companionship of Midnight, the black panther she had raised from a cub. But she always knew in her heart that somewhere, someone was waiting to end her deep, unspoken longing--if she could only find the dark-haired warrior she had seen in her dreams. . .
Nothing could stop Chief Fire Thunder from freeing his sister from the carnival owner who had abducted her for his sideshow. But when he laid eyes on the beautiful Kaylene, he felt it only right to steal her back to his people's hideaway. Soon, the fierce warrior knew that he was the one who had been caught--by an irresistible passion. . .
REVIEW
This was an alright read. The plot was ok, but I had so difficulty with parts of the story. The chief was always right no matter what and he made many mistakes in judgement and deed. Kaylene was a tad ridiculous. She felt instant chemistry with him, but he did odd things like put her in a cage to prove a point and she just forgave him and it made her fall in love with him? Not! The Indian part of the story was interesting. It wasn't a bad read but wasn't a great read either. I would not pay $6 for this book though and would not have if given the chance. I was glad I received the book for free for a honest review.
