Review – ‘Hard to Forget’ by Rebecca Janet


Blurb

Charles: 
I lost her five years ago, along with everything else. One second, I was driving my motorcycle and the next, I couldn’t remember my past. 
And then, as chance would have it, I saw her again. 
I didn’t know who she was, but I could feel it in my heart that she meant something to me. 
So, of course, I had to have her—she was the key to the past—the answer to so many questions. 
Not to mention, she was sexy as hell. 
But, Becky was playing hard to get. 
And I play for keeps. 

Becky: 
He broke my heart. 
From the start, I should have known he was too good to be true. I was just an average, plain Jane kind of girl, and he was the high school heartthrob. Of course, it would never work. 
And, it didn’t.
So, I learned to forget about him. 
But, of course, life’s a bitch and brought him right back. 
Will I be able to forget the past? Or will the future hold more heartbreak and deceit? 
I want to pray for forgiveness but I’ve long started to doubt that word.

Review 

Becky Castillo works in a crummy bar and knows she’ll probably be out of a job soon. As she’s fending off one of her usual perverted customers, a man she never expected to see again comes to her defense.
Charles Green doesn’t remember the sexy bartender, but feels an undeniable attraction to her. For the past five years, he’s lived with total amnesia, but his lack of a past and an identity didn’t stop him from creating a successful multi-million dollar company. Becky recognizes him, however, and hates him. He soon realizes she’s someone from his forgotten past, and he becomes obsessed with her.
Becky and Charlie are interesting characters. She’s so hurt and angry over the past that she can’t let it go, but she’s also unwillingly drawn to her ex-boyfriend. Even though Charlie is desperate to remember his past, he never really pushed the issue. I don’t understand why Charlie never asked Becky about his parents and family, about his childhood, and about the person he was before he lost his memory. I’m also confused as to why he never filed a background check on Becky since she wasn’t forthcoming with information. All he seemed to care about was figuring out why Becky hated him and also wanting to make amends for that.
I liked this story, but it could use a light edit. There are unanswered questions and loose ends, but it does have a satisfying HEA. It’s told in first POV, both Charles and Becky, and I followed along for the most part.

Review – ‘No Regrets’ by Vivian Ward



Blurb

Her brother told me to stay away from her. Her brother can go f**k himself!
I’m a firefighter. When it comes to doing my job, I’m the best around.
Am I cocky? You’re damn right.
Wild? I was. I’ve tried to clean up my act. Was doing a pretty damn good job of it too until I ran into Stephanie Frost after all these years. The heat from fires don’t compare to what I feel when she’s near me.
Her brother’s a troublemaker who’s been in and out of prison. He’s even told me that he’ll kill me if I don’t stay away from his sister. He’d be pissed if he knew she’s been squirming underneath me every single night.
Now that I’ve got a second chance, I’m not giving her up this time.

Review 

Stephanie Frost and her three-year-son Andrew are stuck in their burning apartment, but a fireman rescues them. Though she’s more concerned for her son than anything, she’s shock to see Matt, her ex-boyfriend and now rescuer, again.
Matt Porter hasn’t seen Stephanie in eight years. After she broke up with him, he became a homeless alcoholic and hit rock bottom, but finally dragged himself back to his feet. Now he’s sober and works as a fireman. He loves his job, but his rocky relationship with Stephanie puts everything he’s worked so hard for in jeopardy.
I liked Matt for the most part. He’s protective, considerate, and completely adores Stephanie and her son.
I couldn’t connect with Stephanie, and I definitely didn’t like her family. Years earlier, her brother Lance robbed a store, shot a person, and left that person paralyzed. Stephanie and her controlling family never seemed to care that her brother did anything wrong or felt bad for the person Lance shot. Instead, they accused Matt of ratting out Lance to his policeman father (which Matt didn’t do), and Stephanie dumped him for it. In doing so, Matt’s life went completely downhill and nearly ended at the bottom of a bottle.
Matt and Stephanie had a lot of chemistry, but Stephanie was trapped under her brother’s and her abusive ex-lover’s thumb. She wanted to please her family and keep the peace more than she cared about her and Matt’s happiness, and I just couldn’t respect her.
The story is told in first person, duel H/h POV. It needs an edit to fix some spelling errors and inconsistencies. There are also a few unanswered questions, but nothing major that affected the overall plot.

Release Tour - 'Batiste' by Victoria Danann

BATISTE
Cajun Devils, Book One
by Victoria Danann

Genre: MC Biker Romance



Ça va mal. Ça va pas bien.


New York Times bestselling author, Victoria Danann, begins a HOT new MC romance series spinning off SSMC. You're gonna love it. For true! 

Take a journey into the exotic culture of bayou country in Louisiana's Lafayette and Acadia parishes. Cajun beauty, Angelique Bellefeuille, has had enough of bikers and their bullshit. Being put in danger because of her father's motorcycle club makes that conclusion rock hard solid.

When she's sent to an allied club for protection from a rival club, she's reunited with her childhood friend, Just Batiste. Only he's not the cute, fun, adventurous kid she remembers. He's large, in charge, and menacing.

The last thing Batiste needs is a distraction from the new joint venture with the SSMC, but Fate has her own sense of timing and her own sense of humor as well. Angel is partly his memory of her as a little girl and partly grown woman walking around in the mind-numbing form of a curvy, blue-eyed mischief maker.

Just when he thinks he can't get more frustrated with the little troublemaker, she's kidnapped by the very people he's supposed to be protecting her from. What will he do to get her back? Anything. Distraction or not, he vows she'll be returned unharmed or he'll personally initiate Armageddon.



When Angie went back to her room Batiste hadn’t returned from whatever biker intrigue was occupying his time. She took a couple of bottled waters so she wouldn’t have to go hunting in the night. 


She supposed she was fortunate to have a room with an adjoining three quarter bath. She took a shower and towel dried her hair, but left it damp because she’d sleep cooler that way. Around eleven she turned off the lights, crawled on top of the cotton sheets and lay still listening to the night sounds of the swamp. After a few minutes a light rain added its voice and she felt herself drifting off to the lullaby of crickets, cicadas, and frogs. 

She was dosing when she heard the door open. The first thing her eyes focused on was the bedside clock. It was just after midnight. As she was sitting up to see who it could be entering her room uninvited , she heard… nails on the floor?

“No worry, cher. It’s me. And dogs,” Batiste said in a hushed tone.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“Takin’ care of you.”

Since she’d been half asleep, her eyes were adjusted to the low light and she could see that he was spreading a sleeping bag on the floor. 

“You’re not sleeping on a wood floor.”

“Looks like I am.”

“You’re taking this protection thing kind of seriously.”

She heard the rustle of nylon as he lay down on top of the sleeping bag, but he didn’t answer. There was no more to say about that. 

Nothing was more serious than keeping Rou’s girl safe. He had two dogs trained by the SSMC, worth a fortune, and a nine millimeter pistol loaded and within easy reach. That, and the fact that he wasn’t likely to sleep too soundly on the hard floor, meant things were secure to the extent of his control. 

As he settled in, minimizing the discomfort to the extent possible, and got still his awareness of her nearness grew like a thing that had sentience. It was frustrating knowing she was close enough to reach out and touch. It was also the best feeling in the world, knowing she was close enough to reach out and touch. If he was sappy, he might have said being with Angelique felt ‘meant to be’. But he wasn’t sappy. Not at all. 

At least that’s what he told himself as he robotically stroked Belle’s fur and stared toward the ceiling. The sound of the rain was comforting. Partly because that is one of rain’s gifts and partly because villains rarely get up to mischief in the rain. Maybe, he mused, they’re like that old wicked witch in Oz and don’t like getting wet.

Release Tour - 'Valley Girl Wars' by Cherime MacFarlane #Giveaway

VALLEY GIRL WARS
Southwest of Homer, Book 2
by Cherime MacFarlane

Genre: Contemporary Romance


The poacher is an ever-present threat to Ally as captain of Tore Olson's boat, Valley Girl. She doesn't understand why he refuses to go to the Alaska State Troopers. She agreed to help him by taking over the captain's chair when Tore broke his leg. She didn't sign on to evade a poacher, scramble to catch enough fish to make the balloon payment and dodge the big Swede.

Fishing on Lower Cook Inlet southwest of Homer is stressful enough without the added tension of wondering how Rurik will react to her wanting to return as captain of the family fishing boat. Her younger brother is doing fine without her. Marriage has settled the man down and Ally fears it isn't fair to ask him to give up his new position as captain of the Arina. When she does turn the Valley Girl back to Tore, what is she going to do with herself?




She put his gear away after making sure the Velcro side seam was still intact. Eyes closed slightly, he watched her move around the cabin. Every move she made was done with a grace which enticed him. 

The first time he saw Alyona Ksana Petrov in the Old Salt Bar, he had to fight to keep his mouth shut so the saliva didn't mess up the front of his shirt. When the introductions got made, he almost shit a brick. How in the world could any woman who looked like a runway model be a fishing vessel captain?

By the time his first season out of Homer ended, he had to admit the woman knew her stuff. The Petrov family owned the Arina for a long time and Ally had handled the boat with ease. 

She quietly closed the door on her way out. Tore's eyes popped open, and he stared at the ceiling. Ally got nervous when he looked at her too long, but he liked watching her. All that fine blonde hair and those gray eyes that changed with her moods like the waters they sailed did things to his gut. 

He wanted her. Then again, outside of her brother and cousin, he didn't know a man in the fleet who hadn't wondered what it would be like with Ally. Maybe Fawke never thought about Ally; Ornery Maddox had the Cajun tied in knots. 

Tore conned her into sharing the bed for all of two nights. But he got too impatient. She didn't go for the accidentally-pulling-her-close-in-his-sleep action. Ally now slept on the back of the settee in sweats. A very immature tactic on his part cost him the pleasure of having the woman next to him. He wondered if she said anything to Rurik? 

In the beginning, he didn't respect the kid. Anyone with a nickname like the Russian Raider had to be full of shit. But when the kid cornered him that night in Seldovia in the basement of the Petrov family home and warned him to be good to his sister, Tore changed his mind. 

And to top that, he must stop cursing their cousin, Isshy. The Old Believer hadn't screwed with his gear. Tore put his concerns about Isshy away. If Isshy's worthless brother-in-law were at the helm, Tore wouldn't have doubted the drunk pirated fish or gear or both. 

The half pill slowly kicked in. Olson closed his eyes and thought about the woman at the helm that looked like an ice sculpture carved for Fur Rondy. He told his sister and dad that he hadn't found the right woman yet. He lied; the problem came when he tried to figure out how to hook her and pull her in. Not quite sure about the mechanics before breaking his leg, Tore decided it was a lucky break in one way. 





Homer Bait and Switch 


He's not a bad guy, but he did something that has his mother and sister upset. Then there are all the girls in town, they've nicknamed him the Russian Raider.

There's new girl in town, Lynn. Rurik feels the pull the moment he sees her. His reputation is against him and the fisherman knows it.

“I didn’t plan to take off with the money. Ally, my sister was driving our fishing boat to the boatyard to schedule a ton of work the old tub needed to continue making us money. She handed the check from the last offload of salmon to me. I was supposed to take it to the bank and deposit the money.

In all my twenty-six years, I hadn’t been anywhere out of Alaska. I stared at that check, eighty thousand plus a few hundred and didn’t want to let go of it.” 

After doing something stupid, Rurik has to fix things which won't be easy.


I came to Alaska kicking and screaming in 1976, and I never want to leave. I cut firewood on shares for money to get through the winter. I swore I would not live above the Alaska Range because it was too cold there and wound up in the Copper River Basin where it got just a cold as Fairbanks. 

My second husband, a Scot from Glasgow, was the love of my life. When I write Scots dialect, I experienced hearing it from my in-laws. Each time my husband got on the phone to Scotland after five seconds, I could hardly understand a word. I was my second husband's chief mechanic's helper and roadie.

I live in a cabin which is slowly being surrounded by the city and wish I were farther out. My cat and Husky-Collie mix dog are happy in our little slice of heaven called Alaska. In the silence of winter dreams of people and places provide a rich pool of ideas to explore. 

As a reporter for the Copper Valley Views, Cherime MacFarlane received a letter of commendation from the Copper River Native Association for fair and balanced reporting.

Review – ‘Talson’s Net’ by Marie Harte

Blurb

Kidnapping Rowe Trainer, co-heir to Chartrell Shipping, might not have been the smartest thing Val Talson's ever done, but he wants answers, fast. He couldn't have expected the beautiful little bully to be half-human, nor could he have anticipated that she could turn the tables on him so easily. She's powerful, and he's learned to be wary.

His violent arousal in her presence makes little sense. Lust he appreciates, but the deeper draw to his rival baffles him. Soon he can't think of anything but Rowe. When he finds her again, he gets more than he bargained for-attraction not only to Rowe, but to her bodyguard as well. Then add the shock of her Selection-a female Otra's readiness to mate.

Val doesn't intend to give in easily. He'll handle rogue saboteurs, Rowe's larger-than-life bodyguard, and the idea that he's entered the Testing, the time in a male Otra's life when he's ready to bond to his destined mate. As for Rowe . . . Val's more than willing to give her what she deserves. And then some.


Review


In the third novella in the Talson’s Temptation series, the year is 2110, and the humans of Earth had made contact with the Otra aliens years earlier. The Otra are now living and working on the planet, but there’s prejudice between the two groups.
After months of investigating the employees of the Chartrell Shipping Company, Valis ‘Or Fal kidnaps the owner’s niece and sets out to interrogate her. He doesn’t trust the half-human/half-Otra female, believing she’s part of the conspiracy to sabotage and destroy his family’s shipping business, but he’s attracted to her more than he imagined possible. Even though she’s his enemy, Val believes he’s found his mate, but he’s torn between claiming her as his own and finishing the investigation.
Rowe Trainer ‘Or Ryi knows there’s a traitor at her family’s company, and she’s determined find the culprit. She never expected Val to be her mate, or that they would need the help of her friend and bodyguard Quinn to sexually prepare her for the bonding.
Rowe is a strong, smart, but vulnerable woman who’s faced a lot of adversity in her life. Val is stubborn and protective, and willing to do anything to make her happy. They have great chemistry, and I loved the sex scenes with the H/h and Quinn, in particularly the ones with just Val and Quinn.
The story ends with a HEA, but there are a few unanswered questions. Still, I liked the story and the universe the author has created.

Release Tour - 'As Right as Rain' by J.M. Maurer

AS RIGHT AS RAIN
by J.M. Maurer

Genre: NA Contemporary Romance


After finally landing her first job at a television station, meteorologist Makayla Reading is determined to make her mark on the world. With an ex she’d rather forget and no time for a new man in her life, what she needs is a true friend to help her deal with jittery nerves and her crabby boss who makes her life miserable.

Though a don’t-fall-for-the-cameraman rule should be easy to follow, sparks fly when she meets the handsome and charming Eli Barringer. As their relationship moves beyond friendship, Makayla realizes she must not only give in to her heart but also let Eli in on a secret she’s been keeping, a decision she knows is…as right as rain.




“Hey.” Eli ruffles the hat on my head like one would do to a child, and then lifts my chin with his gentle fingers, leveling my gaze with his. “You all right?”

I blink him into focus, seeing the crease of concern deepen between his eyes. Although I’m grateful for his question, he doesn’t need to know what’s on my mind. My emotions are all over the place, scattered like debris after a storm. Plus, I’m having a difficult time pulling my sight from his eyes and keeping my thoughts on my job.

What are you doing, Makayla?

Yes, he’s gorgeous. And off limits.

He’s sexy. And still forbidden.

I’m confident there has to be some sort of don’t-fall-for-the-coworker rule I should be following. But no such rule seems to be preventing me from reacting to him the way I am.

Not wanting to alert him to what’s making me so frazzled, I respond to his question with the first thing that pops into my head. “I’m just new. And nervous.”

It sounds plausible coming out, and it’s partially the truth, a fact I’m comfortable with, given I’ve just met Mr. Beautiful.

He moves his hand to my shoulder and squeezes just enough to hold me in place, which also keeps me from sliding in my seat as Sam steers us out of the garage and onto the street. “Okay, if that’s what you’re going with, I’ll buy it. For now.”
