Well another hit by A.N. Boyden, she had the past a couple weeks for me on lock. This book was no exception to the goodness that are her stories. I really enjoyed the concept of this book. And I loved the romantic build of these characters especially since they were sexually and emotionally connected. Also, there were some real interesting development throughout that just keep you invested. 

Check out the excerpt at bottom. 

Hope you enjoy!

And as always Happy Reading!!

"How could you do this to me, Tanya? Why didn't you warn me?" I demanded, flailing my arms in the air.

"Warn you about what?"

I scoffed in disbelief. "You failed to mention how fine this man is! Girl, do you see him?! I mean, come on! Imagine taking the sexiest lumberjack you can find and mixing him with the most rugged cowboy on this planet and BAM, there he is!"

Tanya chuckled, placing her hands on her hips. "So, what? Now you're not going to follow through because he's hot? Must I remind you that your husband is a looker, too?"

I paced across the lawn in my brown leather Saint Laurent ankle boots. "Yeah, my husband is handsome, but this man is fucking indescribable. I mean, let's be honest. I need a new pair of panties right now!"

"Are they moist?" Tanya teased.

"Bitch, I'm leaking."

The sound of someone loudly clearing their throat caught our attention. I froze, mortified by what he may have heard.

"H-How much of that did you hear by chance?" I stuttered.

"Not much," he drawled with his sexy Texas twang. "I came in at the lumberjack cowboy hybrid part," he confessed with a smug smirk on his delicious lips.

One of a Kind by A.N. Boyden

Description:

Tatyana Lee has been offered the arduous task of becoming Bluebonnet's new principal by her long-term mentor and current school board superintendent. The town's testing scores are dismal. In fact, Bluebonnet is ranked the worst in the state of Texas. Tatyana's immediate response was to turn down the position; however, her success could place her as the front runner to be the youngest school superintendent in Texas history.

Tatyana accepts the challenge and has one year to drastically improve the school's testing scores and overall academic marks to avoid shutting down the public school. Tatyana is not thrilled to leave the comforts of the big city for the little Podunk town with a population of less than one thousand and prays the rumors she has heard are not true.

Keith Bailey is the well-loved and admired sheriff of Bluebonnet. His family established the town of Bluebonnet over one hundred years ago and has always been the governing law of the dilapidated city. The citizens of Bluebonnet, including Keith's family, turn their backs on him as soon as Tatyana Lee brazenly rolls into town with her No Trespassing signs and her double pistols on her hips.

Keith is instantly attracted to the dark-skinned woman with the sultry tongue and ego the size of Texas. He is befuddled by the woman's insistence in staying in a town where she truly did not belong and finds himself spending more time protecting Tatyana from the less-than-welcoming town folk and cleaning up after their vandalism.

How will Tatyana achieve her goals and deal with being the only Black resident in a predominantly racist town? Join Tatyana and Sheriff Bailey as the pair engage in the spiciest love affair that Bluebonnet has ever witnessed.

 

    I tend to not read books like this but this author's work has had me in a chokehold these past couple of days that I knew I needed to give it try. There are some very derogatory language and slurs as well as some very triggering action in this book. With that being said the author created a world that was very realistic and entertaining. I really enjoyed Tatyana and Sheriff Bailey's relationship. Tatyana was true to herself and stood her ground. While Sheriff Bailey was just over protective (understandable) and supportive. It was really a good read.

And always Happy Reading!

Mail Order Groom: A BWWM by A. N. Boyden

Nina O'Neil is a successful physical therapist looking to settle down, but without all the hoopla and disappointment that dating in the modern age brings. Despite the stern warnings she received from her family and friends, Nina signs up for a mail-order groom service in hopes of finding true love.

It didn't take much for Nina to fall for Zane Doran, an accomplished hedge fund manager. For her? It was love at first sight, and the two spent the next several months exchanging messages. She falls in love with her online lover and is ready to take the next step.

Instead of being met by the well-kept, polite gentleman that Nina has been bearing her soul to, Nina is surprised to find a rough-neck tattooed beast of a man on her doorstep. What makes matters worse...he was just released from prison.

Join the hilarious, side-splitting adventures of Nina and Zane as they attempt to navigate a relationship. Will the pair ever find common ground and make it down the aisle?

 

   This was such a surprisingly good read. It had me hook from the beginning and kept me until the very end. This author's humor is similar to Olivia Gaines. I was not expecting all the hilarious moments and the depth of feeling's that were shared between Zane, Nina and the family. The end was a bit abrupt but I am excited to know there's a book two in the works. This was great intro to the author.

And as always Happy Reading!!

 

Vengeance: Snow and the Vengeful Reapers (Ruthless MC #4) by Theodora Taylor

 

Vengeance isn’t just a team of enforcers, they’re a destination where all morals and good sense get checked at the door.

Every server at the roadhouse I work at knows that Vengeance is a package deal. The three enforcers for the Ruthless Reapers don’t just share a job, they share you for one night if you dare to go to one of the rooms upstairs with them.

Whenever they come into the roadhouse, they stare at me. Three wolves just biding their time until I agree to be their next meal.

But you know what? Hard pass. I’m on the last six months of my five-year plan to become a certified doctor. And giving my body to three outlaw bikers is not one of the items on my sensible checklist. Besides, I’ve learned the hard way you can’t trust anyone but yourself.

So, nope. No way. Uh-unh. It doesn’t matter if they make my stomach flutter and my seriously neglected nether regions stir with some very bad thoughts. I’m not budging from my five-year plan.

But then, my aunt’s boyfriend attacks me. One moment I’m calling Vengeance as a last resort. And the next I’m waking up in their bed.

Vengeance has me now. And Reapers don’t date. They POSSESS.

New plan. Figure out how to escape from these three men before they convince me to give them everything they want. My body, my mind, my heart—maybe even, my soul.

  

  Feels rushed. There's no true flow. The story didn't develop the way it was meant to. What I thought I was getting I didn't really get it. I felt like I was getting rushed to read this so I could understand why these characters exist in the next book. Just wished it was real story. Not bad could have been much better, definitely not her best. 

And as always Happy Reading!

Psycho Shifters: An enemies-to-lovers romance (Cruel Shifterverse Book 1) by Jasmine Mas

Description:

Fight like a girl...or a shifter of lore.

After growing up with nothing, I've finally found my path to freedom: I'm a shifter, an elite soldier who transforms into a monster.

All I have to do is survive.

I didn't count on my three 6'5 roommates. Covered in tattoos, jeweled, and horned, these are like no men I've ever dealt with before.

They don't think I belong.

They don't think I'm strong enough for war.

They don't think I can fight.

I'm about to prove them wrong.

The only problem, can I survive them discovering the secrets of my past? In the battle for life and death, everyone is so much more than they seem.

Jax, Ascher, and Cobra are going to be devastated when they discover my truth...just wait until they see my shifted form.

 The story was amazing. I felt for the heroine and her sister. The heroes were a bit blind and full of it but they came through in the end. This story has so many different levels. And you know it’s a great book, when the first thing you do is check when the next book is coming. I can't wait to for book two. 

I hope you enjoy it too.

And as always Happy Reading!!!
