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 Kiss, an 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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


Sherilee Gray 

Sherilee’s always had a big (some say warped) imagination, and as a kid scared herself conjuring up horror stories full of ghosts and other terrifying creatures. She never dreamed of actually writing down any of those wonderful imaginary people or places, not until many years later when her sister introduced her to the wondrous world of romance novels, and her very large book collection.

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. When she isn't writing sexy, edgy contemporary and paranormal romance, searching for her next alpha hero on Pinterest, or fueling her voracious book addiction, she can be found dreaming of far off places with a mug of tea in one hand and a bar of Cadburys Rocky Road chocolate in the other.

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.
