Random Review & Release . . . Sheet Music by KL Myers

SHEET MUSIC, a Rocker Romance by K.L. Myers is LIVE!

AMAZON | B&N | KOBO

Razor's Edge Series #1

My name is Cayson James Razor, front man and lead singer for Razor’s Edge. I’m a rocker through and through, and nothing can change me. I don’t believe in romance and happily ever afters. Or at least that’s what I thought. 

Enter Kayla Marshall, romance writer and travel companion for thirty days. She’s oblivious to how the real world works. It’s my duty to open her eyes to the fantasy land she lives in.

When the unthinkable happens and my long-time friend and drummer for Razor’s Edge leaves for rehab in the middle of a sixty-day, forthy-three-city tour, I’m faced with the reality that there is more to life than the music. But before I can tell Kayla that I was wrong, she disappears.

Now I’m questioning everything. Are there such things as happily ever afters, or are they just a fantasy people believe in? 

This is my journey to discover if a rock god can give up his evil ways to find the one he was destined for.

My Review:

4 stars

This was my first rockstar romance in a while and although initially apprehensive (I've over-indulged in the genre lol) I was beyond glad that I gave this book a chance. I've been a fan of KL Myers' since she gave me gorgeous firemen and she renewed my vigor for rockstars.

I enjoyed the relationship development between Cayson (great name, BTW) and Kayla. There were times when I wanted to smack them both over the head and there were also times that I just sat back and went "le sigh." Also, Cayson . . . ego much? They made a really cute couple though.

There were some questions that I felt were left unanswered, but hopefully they'll be addressed in upcoming books in the series. I look forward to delving further into the guys of Razor's Edge.

Pain.

That’s a word Bailey Winsor knows well, having endured it since she was a child from the people who were supposed to protect her. Just when her life appears normal, something Bailey has never experienced, she meets a man and falls in love.

Love can be deceiving.

Bailey jumps from the frying pan that was her childhood into the burning bowels of hell, which is her sick and twisted husband. It’s hopeless. Suffering more years of abuse, Bailey eventually realizes she has no choice but to run. Forced to stop in a small town in Ohio, Bailey encounters a town full of people that welcome her with open arms, especially Jaxon Walker, the tattooed and pierced local bar owner. Bailey has secrets she’s unwilling to reveal. Jaxon senses her fear and refuses to give up trying to discover them.

Will Bailey be brave enough and learn to trust Jaxon with her deepest secrets? Will Jaxon be strong enough to protect Bailey when her past comes knocking at her door?

Although book one in Alex Grayson's debut series, Shatter Me may be read and enjoyed as a standalone.

My Review:

3.5 stars

This book was a bit hard for me to review because I couldn't decide if I should give it 3.5 stars or 4 stars. Ultimately, I went with 3.5 because while I really like it, there were too many things I couldn't look past.

There's a strong difference between sexual abuse and sexual torture; for me Bailey was sexually tortured for the majority of her life. She struggled and I was extremely glad that she found the strength to escape. I felt like she deserved some good in her life and the scene where she's behind the bar with Jax approaching her - OMG!! While the emotion didn't overwhelm me, the thought of her being that afraid, that terrified, struck deep and I found myself so emotional. I loved the feel of the small town "adopting" her as their own. That juxtaposed so much negativity in her life that there were good people in the world. I loved that Jax was so fiercely protective of his family and that while he had his own issues, he was still able to be such a sweetheart. I also liked the author's note at the end and her explanation behind some f the scenes.

The issues I had with this book:1 - The trust and ultimately the relationship development between Jax and Bailey. Within a week or so, she trusted him. Their relationship deleted slower, but my issue comes with the fact that Bailey was tortured in the worst way possible her ENTIRE life. She had no counseling. She had no outlet. I don't think she would have trusted him so soon considering her background. Jax's sisters and mom and Gram, yes, but not necessarily Jax.2 - Stephen (Steven?) and his background. Where did his crazy come from??? How could he be so abusive and no one suspect it with him so in the limelight?3 - Missing the obvious. When Stephen finally made his move, how did no one suspect that???? On that same note, I found it unrealistic that absolutely no one blamed Bailey for what happened. Grief and anger makes people irrational, so I couldn't see not one person casting blame in that aspect.

Overall, I liked the book and would definitely read more from the series. I look forward to hearing Nick's story.

Random Release & Review . . . Wolf Hollow by Nikki Jefford

🐺 🐺 🐺

🐺 🐺 🐺

 

  

A REBELLIOUS OUTCAST  

Cocky. Coy. Wolf shifter. Tabor is the hollow’s only half-breed, scorned and forbidden to use his powers. Constantly overlooked despite his strengths, Tabor believes Sasha is as shortsighted as the rest of the pack until she proves there’s more to her than a blindly obedient lapdog to the council.  

A DUTIFUL PUREBLOOD  

Spirited, stubborn, and deeply loyal, Sasha feels the pressure from her pack to claim another pureblood, yet no one is brazen enough to defy the elders and toy with her . . . no one besides a sexy, hotheaded half-breed.  

AN ATTRACTION THAT THREATENS THE FUTURE OF THE PACK 

 Bewildered by the deceptively proud and surprisingly sensual Sasha, Tabor would risk everything to claim her. Despite her vanishing bloodline, Sasha can’t resist the charismatic half-breed even as predators threaten their pack and the elders pressure her to breed with a pureblood. In a fantastical post-apocalyptic world, where only the strongest survive, sometimes trusting the heart is the bravest act of all.

My Review:

5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! At first, I wasn't sure what to expect because Nikki Jefford is a new author for me, but I love paranormal romance and the cover looked great, so I jumped in.

The opener had me thinking that maybe I'd read the blurb wrong because of the situations Sasha and Tabor were in. Of course, I read it two times after that to make sure, lol. Turns out, my impatience had gotten the best of me. Tabor was somewhat of an outcast due to the elder's fears and quite a bit of the pack not accepting him.  He's the only half-breed wolf/wizard and his entire life has been filled with ridicule and bullying. I loved his character though.  I liked that he let Sasha be the leader. I liked that he recognized his weaknesses, but at the same time accepted his strengths. He was such a sweet man, even though his life had been more struggle than anything.

I hated that Sasha felt the weight of obligation so heavily. She held the impossible mantle of leadership amongst men who would have her be more of a puppet than anything else. Even when she felt as though everyone had cast her aside as no more than a breeder and cared nothing about her happiness and wants, she still remained loyal to her pack. Just when she finally decided to go for what she wanted and be happy her past came back to threaten everything she held dear.

I hate that there was so much manipulation and underhandedness among the pack leaders, only out to get what they wanted, but it made for a very entertaining read. The emotion within the pages and the depth of the characters was amazing. The plot was extremely well-paced and kept me intrigued throughout the entire book. If I had to say one thing I didn't like, it was the distinction between the different types of wolves. I would've liked more background on the differences among them, but it didn't detract from the book at all.

Hopefully, there's more to come from Wolf Hollow (Wolfrik? Elsie?) and I look forward to more from his author.

Random Review . . . Balance In Death by Francesca Vance

On the final day of the Foster An Author 3 event, I'd like to thank Francesca Vance and everyone at Jo & Isa Loves Books.

"Read - Review - Repeat"

I love discovering new authors and this one will be mine from here on out, but I'm willing to share!

My Review

5 stars

I discovered this author though a program that matches blogger with readers and I was so happy because I love paranormal romance and this author does a great job of giving that.

I haven't read too many reaper novels, so this was a great little gift for me. I enjoyed Cole's character. He had that whole mysterious, sexy vibe and WINGS people. When he was presented with his biggest dilemma, all I wanted to do was hug him and help him. How could you possible reap the soul of the person you care so much about?? I loved his strength. I loved his Scottish back ground, I could just picture his voice when he spoke in the language of his home. I also loved Ava! Her character was a perfect blend of feisty and shy, but completely lovable.

I enjoyed the descriptions in this book, a great feat because sometimes authors go overboard and drown their work in descriptions and blot out the actual story itself. The book opened with Cole reaping five souls and the description of the first four was hauntingly beautiful. This was also great because it was a novella, so it was more substance than fluff.

I'm looking forward to more from this author and would recommend her to others.
