COVER REVEAL for "A Vow of Ruin (The Thornheart Trials, #2)" by Sherilee Gray



A Vow of Ruin
(The Thornheart Trials, #2)
by Sherilee Gray
 
Iris
It’s the scars you can’t see…
After my last boyfriend tried to kill me, I swore off relationships for life. So why can’t I stop thinking about the dangerous—and completely unstable—alpha of the new wolf pack in town? Thankfully, my heart isn’t in any danger, because Draven Moreau hates me with a fiery passion.
But when witches start disappearing and the fate of our coven’s magic falls to me, I desperately need his help. Only he doesn’t want anything to do with me…until he does. With a hidden enemy drawing me into their sick and twisted game, Draven suddenly wants me close, whether I like it or not.
As darkness closes in and the horrors of the past are repeated, I’ll have to fight for my life—and a love I’d never dared to hope for.

BOOK REVIEW for "Head Over Hooves (Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild, #5)" by Erin Nicholas

 

Head Over Hooves
a must read small town romantic comedy 
from New York Times bestselling author
Erin Nicholas 
is available today!

You know in movies where the big city girl lands in a small town for the holidays and falls for the hunky guy who saves Christmas?

This isn’t that story.

But this guy does look fantastic in flannel. And out of flannel…

Finding true love with his one-and-only soul mate? Drew Ryan’s given up on that.

But a hot holiday fling in Louisiana, far from his responsibilities and good guy image back home, is now on the top of his list for Santa.

So when he’s knocked on his ass—literally—by a Christmas elf who’s stealing a sleigh full of gifts and using his reindeer to commit the crime, he definitely doesn’t expect to fall head over heels.

This holiday couldn’t get any worse for Rory Robins.

First, her hair wasn’t supposed to turn green. It’s not even Christmas green.

And the elf costume wasn’t supposed to be two sizes too small.

And her con-man father wasn’t supposed to show up and go all real-life-Grinch on her beloved new hometown.

And she definitely wasn’t supposed to run into anyone while trying to fix the problem. Especially not the hunky guy who already seems too good to be true.

But he does have a way of making her "cocoa" even hotter and a whole lot sweeter...

Still, he lives in Iowa. The only good thing her father ever gave her was a healthy distrust of men who are never around. She’s not doing a long-distance thing.

This little fling is only going to last as long as the temporary color of her hair.

Only nothing seems to be fading. And she might be asking Santa for just one more thing…

~ BOOK REVIEW for Head Over Hooves ~

*****(5) out of 5 Stars!

This fifth entry in the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series, is the second one not to include a Landry as one of the main players. This book stars Rory (a fairly recent addition to Autre, Louisiana) and Drew (yes, THAT Drew, as in "Drew-f'ing-Ryan" of Hot Cakes fame, from Appleby, Iowa). The story opens with their meet-cute, and only gets cuter (and hotter!) from there! These two couple fall in insta-love from pretty much the moment that they first lay eyes on each other. Neither is what the other is looking for (or at least so they think), but both are exactly what each of them needs. I loved that while there was some tension and drama, there was no real angst, and it certainly wasn't between Rory and Drew. But, of course, he is pretty much the perfect guy, equal parts sweet and dirty! And she is just a doll, just needing enough love and acceptance to flourish. Luckily, they feel comfortable enough with each other to share the things that are really important. And they just proceeded full-speed-ahead toward their happily-ever-after, even though neither of them could figure out how they were going to achieve that given their circumstances. But love (like life) will always find a way, especially if there are any Landrys around to help with it!

BOOK REVIEW for "Sealed With A Kiss (Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild, #4)" by Erin Nicholas


What’s a girl to do when her celebrity crush 
needs her to be his fake girlfriend? 

Sealed With a Kissan all-new romantic comedy filled with heated chemistry,
#4 in the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series,
from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas is available now! 


Keep her damned feelings to herself. And her clothes on...

Naomi LeClaire is just a small-town girl who loves her quiet, simple life.

Donovan Foster is a sexy, charming, wildlife rescuing internet sensation who loves the spotlight.

What do these opposites have in common?

Only an impossible-to-resist chemistry that, when they’re stuck together in a storm becomes, well, impossible to resist.

But the aftermath of the storm gives them something else in common — a rescue mission to help victims. Oh, and a heat-of-the-moment kiss caught on camera by the local paparazzi. Not to mention an offer for a reality TV show documenting them falling in love while saving animals from crazy, dangerous situations.

Wow, that escalated quickly.

This should be the last thing Naomi is willing to do. But he’s leaving in two months for his next job, so what’s the worst that could happen?

He’s either going to be her greatest adventure. Or this wild whirlwind romance will blow over faster than a Gulf Coast hurricane.

All she can really do is hold on tight... and hope her heart isn’t left in shambles.

~ BOOK REVIEW for Sealed with a Kiss ~

****(4) out of 5 

This is the fourth entry in the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series, and the first not to include a Landry as one of the leads. This volume instead features Naomi (Charlie and Jordan's childhood friend) and Donovan (Griffin's brother). The action starts up here in the middle of a hurricane, seven months after these two have met, but before their relationship (real or fake) has really gotten started. We've seen glimpses of both characters in prior volumes, but this is the first time we are learning much about either of them. Now we see how their pasts shaped each of them, not to mention how they have changed one another over the course of their acquaintance.

There are a lot of cameos in this book! And not only from prior couples of the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild and earlier Boys of the Bayou series, but also from the slightly related Hot Cakes series. It is definitely fun to see the gang and then some together again, especially when that involves them saving people and (of course!) animals that have been impacted by the hurricane that kicks off this tale.

It is lovely to see how Naomi and Donovan develop a relationship and struggle to build a future where they can be together. Of course, they face some trials along the way, both internal to each of them individually and to them as a couple, not to mention outside forces. But the ways in which they overcome those obstacles are enjoyable to see. I did feel that the scene where they were trapped together in the animal rescue center was a bit too rushed. While I'm not from the coast, I don't recall hearing about any hurricanes that are over as quickly as a tornado. But it was, in general, another very good addition to this delightful series.

BOOK REVIEW for "Rebel Yule (Rookie Rebels, #5.5)" by Kate Meader

Rebel Yule 
(Rookie Rebels, #5.5)

by Kate Meader


Chicago Rebels goalie Erik gets his shot at love... but first he'll have to figure out what he did to offend the woman he's crushed on forever.

Casey Higgins, assistant to the Chicago Rebels owner, has a smile for everyone who comes into the front office—everyone but goalie Erik Jorgenson. And he has no idea why. For the last year, she’s refused to give him a kind word, and finally, he’s had enough. At the Rebels holiday party he’ll uncover the root of their mysterious conflict and show this woman that goalkeepers do their best work... on their knees.

Can a little Yuletide cheer get Erik into Casey’s good graces, warm bed, and frozen heart? Or will he fumble the puck and lose his chance? Join the Chicago Rebels this holiday season and find out if Erik is as good at saving Christmas as he is at saving goals!


~ BOOK REVIEW for Rebel Yule ~

***(4) out of 5 Stars

This was a delightful tale, encompassing the holiday season and employing a lot of Christmas spirit.  It was so nice to see Casey and Erik each finally find their special someone, and even better that they were able to resolve the issue that had her so upset with him in the first place. When certain facts come to light about that item, it makes all of the puzzle pieces fall into place.  Both of these two are such nice people; it's great to see them together.  It was also great to see other members of the team and their cohorts, especially so many of the leads from prior books.  However, Keanu had to be my favorite character.

BOOK REVIEW for "A Curse in Darkness (The Thornheart Trials, #1)" by Sherilee Gray

 

A Curse in Darkness
(The Thornheart Trials, #1)
by Sherilee Gray
Published: 28 September 2021
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Paranormal, Romance 

Willow

I once faced evil…and lost.

With the fate of my family—and our magic—suddenly in my hands, I vow to protect them no matter what. But the coven trials have claimed many witches, and vanquishing malevolent spirits, while hunting a possessed hellhound on a killing spree, is far more than I bargained for.

Now the hellhound’s domineering alpha is shadowing me. More beast than man, Warrick both tempts and terrifies. Still, I can’t resist our overwhelming attraction and when a twisted enemy makes their move and I’m faced with an impossible choice, I need him more than ever.

But fortune is fickle, and in a world full of monsters, falling in love can be hazardous to your health—and your heart.


~ BOOK REVIEW for A Curse in Darkness ~

***(4) out of 5 Stars

I was anxious to read Willow's story since first encountering her in the author's related Knights of Hell series, not to mention Warrick, and their obvious connection.  He is a hellhound, with all the subtlety and couth one would expect from a creature created by Lucifer.  And she, while a badass in her own right, puts way too much pressure on herself and has unbelievably high walls around her heart.  

Indeed, it seems very unlikely that these two will ever get together.  Despite the obvious attraction that they have for one another.  But they are extremely mismatched, him being a big alpha, eternal being made in Hell eons ago; and her being a young and mortal woman.  Also, communication is not the forte of either of them, and extreme outside circumstances keep getting in the way of them even giving things a try.  

Finally, though, some things align that push Willow and Warrick to work together, giving them some incentive to give the other a break, at least long enough to start to mesh.  Of course, nothing goes as one would expect it to, and many wrenches are thrown into the works.  

There's a whole lot of evil happening in this tale though, and much to wade through.  And even at the end of the book, there is still obviously much more to come for Willow, and her family, especially her sisters.  I look forward to reading the forthcoming volumes in the series.

She’s pleased to say, she still has the big imagination… only now her characters are chasing their happily ever after.

Sherilee Gray is a kiwi girl and lives in beautiful New Zealand with her husband and their two children.

FREE BOOK: "Otterly Irresistible (Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild, #1)" by Erin Nicholas

 

Don’t miss this must read for zero pennies! 

Otterly Irresistible, the fun and flirty opposites-attract, small-town, standalone from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas is ZERO PENNIES for a limited time only! 

Steal the deal!

Google Play: https://bit.ly/3ablaWL 


New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas is taking readers back to the Bayou with an all-new, fun and flirty small town romance series!

Broody wildlife veterinarian Griffin Foster is done. Done trying to save the world. Done getting attached. He’s been fired twice for standing his ground and now he’s going to be content--by God--in small-town Louisiana, in a small veterinary practice, where there will only be small problems. 

Quiet and boring, though? Um, no. He’s been adopted by a loud, crazy Cajun family with a tiny petting zoo for him to care for. Hey, it’s not endangered tigers at a nationally renowned zoo, but a family of otters--and all the gumbo he can eat--isn’t a bad deal. 

Until she shows up. Again. 

The sunny, gorgeous optimist who stole his heart--and his favorite shirt--two months ago. Who clearly hasn’t heard the word “no” enough in her life. And who is the first woman to put even a tiny crack in his don’t-get-attached wall.


Charlotte “Charlie” Landry is the new marketing consultant for the family swamp-boat tour company and petting zoo. It might not have been her plan, but she is all in, ready to grow the business. Whether the hot, grumpy vet likes it or not. 

He doesn’t. 

 

Worse, sparring with his unforgettable one-night stand is more fun than he’s had in a long time. 

But watching wears-designer-dresses Charlie find her dream job amongst a bunch of goats, alpacas, and otters is a surprise. 

And her helping him find his passion again is...well, irresistible.

Dammit.
