#1 Crush by T. Gephart

Before I begin, I would like to state that I have read and LOVED every one of the books in this series. I’ve chosen this one to review because I want those beginning the journey, or considering it, to take my advice and GET YOUR COPIES!

There are very few authors that inspire me to write a spontaneous review – I am beyond inspired with this author, I am compelled – and this lady deserves all the praise I am about to drop in her unsuspecting lap. 

This author understands how to write with the perfect blend of romance vs. humor. That, my friends, is a gift. The humor is intelligent and fresh. There is nothing cheesy or recycled in these pages. Whether she inspires a smile or a belly-laugh, the timing is always impeccable and on-point. The romance is a step above where a normal romcom will take you, and I’m giving a very enthusiastic golf clap for that. She doesn’t shy away from the sexual intensity of her characters and makes no apologies for her ovary-exploding love scenes. Take a bow, Ms. Gephart.

#1 Crush introduces us to the oldest of the Larsson brothers, Eric. He’s everything you desire in your leading male, but don’t fall too hard… he’s just the first of many falls with these beautiful brothers. I honestly couldn’t choose between them, as I’m sure you’ll soon discover. 

I enjoyed watching the Hollywood heartthrob fall for his secret fangirl/cyber stalker (shh.. don’t tell him!) and sweeping her into a fairytale. Tia never dared to dream of meeting her #1 Crush, let alone having his undivided attention. What was supposed to be a (carefully orchestrated) chance encounter becomes a hilarious game of cat-and-mouse as Tia gets far more of Eric Larsson than her fangirling panties were prepared for. What’s a girl to do? 

T. Gephart, you are my #1 Crush!

Dragon in the Midst by 𝐒.𝐇. 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐬

He’s my greatest regret. I’m his darkest revenge.

He lit my body on fire with his depravity, consuming me with the flame of his desire. Such a dangerous blaze, leaving ashes and embers in its wake. But I was just another doll in his collection, so I ran.

I’ve been running ever since.

I’m not the same girl, and he’s definitely not the same man – frost where once there was heat. He wants revenge for the actions of a scared, young girl and nothing will get in his way. 

He can torture my body, rekindling the blaze, but the inferno could destroy us both.

☠AUTHOR’S WARNING: This book contains violent content and mature themes. Some subject matter could be potential triggers for sensitive readers.☠

💋If the above warning has tantalized instead of scandalized, be prepared for scintillating suspense, a healthy dash of depravity, and romance with a heart of darkness. Happy reading!💋

The Sharp Edge of Bliss by Sorcha Black

It’s not often I stumble across an author that leaves an impression on me with the mastery of their craft. I’ve loved so many great stories, yet having very neutral reactions in regards to the writing. Not this time. Within the first few chapters, I knew I’d been granted a rare gift – an author that encompasses the epitome of excellence. With a few perfectly orchestrated words, intelligently arranged, this author was able to convey a multitude of intense emotions and vivid imagery. The writing was a linguistic orgy for the mind. Superb.

The story depicts three characters; all beautifully broken and wonderfully flawed. Told from the heroine’s POV, we meet two incredibly diverse men with hidden depths and agendas: the pampered prince, and the villainous king. One nursing an unrequited love and the other incapable of showing the emotions he secretly harbors. A bridge to breach the divide is exactly what they need, yet never knew they wanted. Being cajoled along this rollercoaster ride of hedonistic pleasure, forbidden fantasies, untapped desires, and delicious kink, leaves the reader hanging onto every flourishing detail and scripted word. A story of unconventional love and three hearts learning to beat as one. 

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys their romance a bit filthy, slightly depraved, deliciously edgy, and blissfully broken.

Descended in Vengeance by L.J. Kentowski

I don’t have adequate words to express just how addicting and amazing this book was. I was hooked from the first page and devoured each chapter like it was food for my soul. I didn’t want it to end, yet I NEEDED answers because the suspense was torture. A true masterpiece of paranormal brilliance!

This book encompasses every aspect that a fantastic author is capable of delivering; intriguing characters, a brilliant and vibrant world of magic and monsters, a heroine that raises the bar for feminism at its core, a mysterious and alluring hero that screams sex and danger with every smoldering look and sensual word, suspense in every elusive yet suggestive new revelation, and a story that has you clinging to each scene with breathless anticipation of the next. Stunning delivery of a very imaginative and exciting new book for readers to love.

Alexis (Lexie) is our female heroine and although she has wings, she is anything but angelic. With vengeance in her heart and fire in her veins, she will stop at nothing to avenge the lives of those taken from her. Even the enigmatic and sinfully sexy Reis, can’t curb her revenge fueled blood, but he just may make it heat in a way that is even more dangerous… to her heart. Will Reis convince her to abandon her lust for revenge, or will she succumb to the other lust that is pounding in her veins?

I can’t wait to read more from this author! Congratulations on this amazing accomplishment, L.J. Kentowski.

My review of, It Will Always Be Us by Theresa Sederholt.

It Will Always Be Us

I’m always excited to read the latest book by Theresa Sederholt. She doesn’t just write words, she pours her emotions onto the pages. You can feel what she is conveying with the simplest words, and grandest descriptions. I’m always immersed in a world that I can come alive with. Her heart is written into every nuisance of the story, and her characters emote every part of her secret self. It is never just a story, but journey into the heart.

Fitz is a character that speaks to the hidden depths of ourselves. He is sinner and saint; flawed, yet seeking redemption. In this latest installment, we are gifted with a glimpse of this character’s innermost fears, humility, and devotion to all he holds sacred. The suspense and mystery that surround him with his latest case, force him to confront not only the demons of his past, but of his deepest soul.

While there is always plenty of case-solving and crime-fighting, there is an element of spirituality to this story that eclipses that of its predecessors. I praise the insight and ingenuity of this approach, and admire the beauty that revealed itself because of it.

I love how this author always meshes the secondary characters so seamlessly with the main story and character. Each one breathes their own story – their own hopes, dreams, and fears. The story is always multidimensional in its entirety, leaving no character abandoned in their own thread of the weave.

I won’t recount the story in my own words, as it will not do justice to this splendid book. An accomplishment for the author, and a wonderful journey for the readers. It Will Always Be Us, is one of the best works by this author and I thank her for giving us another amazing story.

My Review of Hunger by C.E. Black

I always know that I am going to experience a story that is nothing short of spectacular, and this was no exception. Hunger tantalized all my appetites and left me starving for more. C.E. Black has written a story that will finesse your emotions, seduce your mind, and implore your heart. Thrills and suspense leap from the pages, and of course the heat will leave you singed long after the final page is turned.

In a post-appoloyptic world, we meet a very determined and brave young woman, fighting to remain alive, while surrounded by those who are not. Bent on her own survival, she is not used to trusting others to help her accomplish that. Being rescued and forced to accept aid from two impossibly gorgeous men, does not sit well with her. Never one to rely on others, she is determined to remain aloof and one step ahead of her would-be heroes – that is until her desires make their long, suppressed appearance.

Can she allow herself to become weak and dependent, just for the sake of appeasing her baser needs, and quite possibly her heart? And which of the obviously, willing men will she choose? Can the heart be braver than the body’s instinct to survive? Discover the answers in this riveting story about a young woman’s determination to survive in a world that is condemned for the living.

My Review of Knight and Dey by Joy Wood

This book was a splendid story that seamlessly wove the nuances of love and loss. The author conveyed a myriad of emotions the human heart is faced to endure and accept. Love is not always easy, nor a choice. Learning that fate is fickle, the two main characters have to search within their own hearts before reaching for another’s.

I applaud the author for venturing into a forbidden romance between her two characters. It is not an easy topic to tackle, but with excellent execution she managed to seduce a romance where few would go. With that being said, this was by no means the only focus of the story. There were many other subplots that started as separate threads, but became part of the cleverly woven tapestry of the story. Wood brilliantly introduced each character, creating intrigue and suspense that would become paramount to the final outcome at the end. Her education in, and passion for, the medical profession were flawlessly apparent in the hospital setting for this book. Credibility and professionalism lent a realistic feel to the backdrop of the story.

In conclusion: A medical drama with hidden deceptions, a forbidden romance, and a conclusion that you won’t see coming . How delightful!

Let Our Voices Be Heard

Let our voices be heard.

We are the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, grandparents, and all those who love a child that is “different” by society’s standards.

I am the proud parent of a child who is wonderful and unique. I celebrate my child’s qualities that set him apart from the rest. Unfortunately, I am a minority. My once happy and loving child, has become someone I barely recognize, and fear for. This message is to help raise awareness about the negative impact our schools are having on these special children.

My son has been the target for bullies since the beginning, but things have escalated fast for my sweet and gentle boy. I have watched my son becoming more depressed and withdrawn this past school year. Things that used to bring him joy and give him a reason to smile, have been tainted by the poison that now plagues him. Feelings of worthlessness, depression and anger are his constant companions. A child who always had a ready smile, loved to laugh and was quick to hug, has been forever altered by the negative environment he is forced to endure every weekday. I just want my child back.

The rising fear that my son may one day become a statistic of suicide, as a direct result of school bullying, is what has prompted me to write this. Imagine my horror when my son told me that he is now being told to, “Do everyone a favor and just kill yourself!” My horror became true terror when my son said, with tears raining down his cheeks, “Maybe I should.” What would you do? How would you feel? This child is only thirteen years old and has a whole, wonderful life ahead of him! Not only am I fighting the school, I am now fighting my son. Where does it end, and how do I stop it?

The sad truth is; It never ends.

I won’t detail every step I have taken to help my son, or my several meetings with the school over the years, but I will say that things need to change – starting with my voice being heard.

If you love a child whose voice cannot be heard above the protocols, procedures, policies and rules, you become the voice for them. Let them hear our fears, anger, resentment, and frustration with a system that refuses to protect what we have put into their safe keeping – our children, our most precious possessions. Our children should feel safe and accepted in an environment where education is an equal opportunity for all who attend. Our children are the future, so shouldn’t it be a priority to protect our future? How is a child going to learn a proper education when they are shrouded in a veil of insecurity, self-doubt, and despair?

The answer is; They can’t.

Change needs to happen. My son deserves the freedom to learn. He is entitled to attend a school where he feels safe and happy. He should not be robbed of his joy and his smile. My heart is broken for the child I have lost.

He is just one of many children in a system, but he is MY child and I will not continue to sit in silence.

If you know and love a child who is being bullied, a child who is bravely unique, or a child who needs a voice, please help share and spread this message. Together, we can make our voices soar.
