I was so excited when I got this in the mail from Regina of MEReadALOT, I saw the book on her Instagram and Instantly wanted to read it. However finding it in the bookstore proved to be a challenge and I was about to made the purchase online when I got the package from Regina.<br />
<br />
This book was quirky and I love it! There were a lot of part that I laugh at and MacGyver doing his catty thing.<br />
<br />
Honestly I wouldn't be opposed to an second book on this or something similar that involves cats playing matchmaking.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First and foremost : Thank you Regina for sending me this book, I needed this book in my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had always been a big fan of JLA's Lux series that features Daemon and Kat, I was sad that it had ended but I guess apparently fans didn't want this world to end. So JLA wrote a new journey, a few years down the road and new + old characters. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Evie Dasher was a new character for me, I was really intrigue by her. She has the similar traits that Kat does. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But not everything is as it seems. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luc is a old character that people wanted to know more about so JLA finally gave us that. Honestly I don't remember too much about him from the Lux series but it had been awhile since I read the Lux series so my memory is sparse. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But Luc has his own secrets and his own past. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When JLA first introduce Luc and Evie together, it was clear to me that Luc knew her. I almost thought he was a hired bodyguard, but as the book went on there was so much more to the story. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luc is almost like Daemon in a way but more lethal.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed the plot of the story, I truly hope that Jen follows through with a 2nd book since this one is not done yet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Maxwell Cartwright just wants to have fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least that’s what he tells himself as he works his way through every showgirl and high roller room in Vegas, burning through his trust fund and trying to forget the betrayal of his old friend Jason Draper. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then Nico Vitale, head of the Syndicate, mentions the one thing that might prompt Max to action.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Max's best friend, Abby, may be in grave danger.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Abby Sterling is finally in control.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Breaking free of an abusive father wasn’t easy, but hard work, a college degree, and a job in the executive offices of her childhood friend Jason Draper’s casino has her feeling like she’s free of the past.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But maintaining her friendship with both Max and Jason isn’t easy when the two men won’t even speak to each other, and things get even more complicated when Abby’s relationship with Max heats up in surprising ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As Max’s ties to the Syndicate deepen, he crosses his long held line with Abby, taking her to bed in spite of his promise never to risk their friendship. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now Max is in over his head, with the Syndicate, Jason Draper, and the woman he’s loved his entire life. The only way out is to infiltrate Jason Draper’s DarkNet poker game — and save Abby from becoming collateral damage.</div>

One desperate act as a starving, terrified child has made her the first tabby in history with no romantic prospects. But whatever. Eighteen is too young to get married anyway. Still, when she stumbles upon an opportunity to get away for a few days, who could blame her for seizing it?<br style="font-family: &quot; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: &quot; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px;" /><b style="font-family: &quot; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Justus Alexander is screwed.</b><br style="font-family: &quot; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: &quot; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px;" />Confined to the South-Central territory, awaiting trial for crimes he committed as a traumatized, newly infected stray, Justus has discovered that the tribunal already intends to vote for the death penalty. He has no choice but to run. Too young to touch the trust fund that could finance his escape, he’s betting on a big win at the poker tables—until Kaci, his secret crush, catches him sneaking out and demands that he take her with him to Las Vegas<br style="font-family: &quot; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: &quot; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px;" />After a wild night she can’t remember, Kaci wakes up with a ring on her finger, next to a young billionaire who can’t access his fortune until he turns twenty-five—or ties the knot. If she can keep her hands off her hot, charismatic new groom, she can have their unconsummated marriage annulled. But can she really abandon Justus to his death sentence, just to undo her own mistake?</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #181818; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

We aren't too far from where Blind Tiger ended, and we are now focus on the not so young anymore Kaci Dillion. The Kaci we knew was a fearful young werecat, born with two recessive werecat gene that triggered her shift.<br />
<br />
Now Kaci is a teen, with much to learn. But she has no doubt that being married young was not on her radar, until she wakes up with a ring on her finger to a man that is about to stand on trial.<br />
<br />
Justus was infected by a werecat with the intent on framing Titus (his older brother) for the crimes, but Justus's actions still lead to large consequences. So he's running away but then Kaci convinces him that there's a chance to clear his name. <br />
<br />
Throughout this book, Kaci has taken her knowledge of growing up in the Lazy S ranch and convince a few alphas that Justus deserve a fairer trial despite their bylaws.<br />
<br />
We do see Faythe and Marc taking an very parental side when it comes to Kaci, but they do know that she's growing up and they're learning to accept that as well as this sudden marriage.<br />
<br />
The Tribunal are face with changes, some are agreeing to the new changes while some are still set in the old ways. We learned so much about the Tribunal in this book similar to following Faythe's journey, but again we see changes happen.<br />
<br />
This book was fill with all sort of elements that I enjoy.<br />
<br />
As always I love Rachel's books and I'm so glad she's is getting back into the werecats world again, I have no idea who she should write next but I want more!Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06290180606627938168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372488332123131278.post-71716439091571496672018-01-08T17:53:00.001-06:002018-01-08T17:53:29.695-06:00Book Review: Deadly Summer<h2 style="text-align: center;">

Since then, she’s hit—what gossip sites just love to call—the gutter. Nearly bankrupt, betrayed, estranged from her greedy mother, and just about unemployable, she’s coaxed into that desperate haven for has-beens: reality TV.<br style="font-family: &quot; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: &quot; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px;" />Winging it as a faux PI, she’ll solve off-the-cuff mysteries in her hometown of Sweet Briar, Alabama. For added drama, there’s police chief Luke Montgomery, inconveniently Summer’s first and only love.<br style="font-family: &quot; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: &quot; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px;" />It’s when Summer stumbles upon a very real corpse that Darling Investigations takes an unexpected twist. The growing list of suspects is a big draw to viewers, but the reality is that Summer doesn’t know whom she can trust. Someone has written this killer new scene especially for her, and unless Summer gives the role everything she’s got, it could be her last…</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #181818; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-size: medium;">I'm not a stranger to Denise's books, I found this one to be somewhat fresh from all her other books. Summer was the childhood stardom, but something happen and her career went downhill. </span><br />
<br />
She took a chance in trying a new reality show as an investigator, although she has no background and no license. All the show needed was a made up story and her acting as an investigator.<br />
<br />
The made-up story however lead to an actual case and curiosity takes over.<br />
<br />
For most part of the book, I like the fact that it was an semi-reality/script acting type of thing/ Denise did well as being the "director" of the show/book.<br />
<br />
The romantic notion of the story, sure it was a little long ending but I can understand from each point of view. She/he broke their heart, but when one still cares for the other it's hard not to wonder how far one will push to shove their feelings.<br />
<br />
I enjoy the little twist between fake cases and an actual real murder case, I was glad that Summer took it in her control to keep investigating her first "not so fake" case because she knew in her guts that something was off from the get go.<br />
<br />
I look forward to the next book.<br />

Wow . . . I can't believe how much has change since the last book. Damian has Aria back after a close call. Now that everything has settle, both Damian and Aria are focus on finding Malcolm Gatti, but he went into hiding.<br />
<br />
Aria is also hiding something . . . something so important to Damian, but she doesn't want to be locked up. Damian been working hard on hunting down Gatti, but at the same time making sure that Aria is safe.<br />
<br />
There were pieces of the story I enjoyed. There were parts that many are saying predicable, but I don't focus too much on the predictability. There may have been more I wanted between Malcolm, Damian and Aria.<br />
<br />
But overall this book did not disappoint me by any means. Plus that surprise ending!!!<br />
<br />
I can't wait to read more of this world by Michelle and I can't wait to read Eternal love.<br />

Fresh on the heels of Aria’s rescue in Greece, he joins up with the other Syndicate leaders to take down Primo Fiore and his dangerous first-in-command, Malcolm Gatti, but Primo and Malcolm have aligned themselves with a new enemy: Stefano Anastos, notorious head of the Greek mob.<br /><br />And taking down both armies won’t be easy.<br /><br />Aria is still recovering from her kidnapping when she gets a call from the one person she has no choice but to love — her brother, Primo. Determined to help him in spite of everything, Aria sets in motion a series of events that may prove deadly for more than just her and Damian.<br /><br />Then the violent turf war returns to New York City and Aria is forced to make an impossible choice — save the man she loves, save her brother, or sacrifice herself.</span> <a data-text-id="10354554057693178108" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35560482-into-the-fire#"></a><br />

Into the fire delivers the right amount of action, betrayals, and of course the romance. Two months ha<span id="freeText10354554057693178108"></span>s gone by since the first book, and the stakes are higher than ever before. Damian promises the syndicate leaders that he wouldn't be involved with Aria, but you can't control love or fate.<br />
<br />
He will do anything to protect her.<br />
<br />
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, Michelle did not disappoint me (not that she had before). There's still so muck at stakes for Damian to take control over the New York Syndicate, but Damian's main priority is to protect Aria.<br />
<br />
I think we all were lead to believe that Aria had no clue about what was really going on, but once she got involved with Damian she got a front row seat. While Damian wants to keep Aria out of the mix of the syndicate but seeing all of the other men's women take it all with stride has him wondering if Aria could do the same?<br />
<br />
Aria is left with so many mixed feelings, worry about her brother's mindset and worry about Damian. But she knew that she had to choose . . . family or love.<br />
<br />
That ending was quite something else . . . I'll be curious to what will happens next.<br />
<br />

Morgan hasn't been feeling like herself lately. Not like anyone
can blame her. After all, being held captive by a psychotic
fae prince hell-bent on permanently opening the gates to the
Otherworld is bound to leave some mental scars.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 0; widows: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It’s
more than that, though. Something dark and insidious is spreading
throughout Ivy, more powerful than she could ever imagine... and it’s
coming between her and the man she’s fallen deeply in love
with, elite Order member Ren Owens. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If
Ivy is going to have any hope of surviving this, she must put aside
the hurt and betrayal she feels, and work with not only those she
loves, but with an enemy she would rather kill than ever trust. War
is coming, and it soon becomes clear that what Ivy and Ren
thought they knew about the Order, themselves, and even their
enemies, has been nothing but a cluster of dangerous, deadly lies.
Ivy knows she must be more than just </span></span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>brave</i></span></span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> to

<b><br /></b>
I used to be sweet and innocent…but that was until Hunter put his hands on me. Now, my body craves his, and we’ve crossed the point of no return.<br /><br />My stepmother demands that I seduce a rich jeweler to secure our fortune, and under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t mind. He’s hotter than hell, I’ve been crushing on him for years, and after catching Hunter pleasuring me over the hood of his car, he wants me too. <br /><br />There’s only one problem: now that I have Malcolm’s attention, I’m not sure I want to leave Hunter’s arms.<br />

Snow is now got her mind distracted by Hunter's seduction, although she knows her stepmother would never approve and having the thought of losing the estate drills into Snow's mind.<br />
<br />
Snow now has to figure if she should follow her heart or should she do what is best for saving the estate?<br />
<br />
Again I have no complaints except that Snow should just forget about Malcolm because I truly like Hunter more, even before she slept with Hunter. Hunter seems like a good fit with her and was/is her best friend from childhood.<br />

<b>Love is a battlefield — and only the strong survive.</b> <br />
<br />
Shunning his Ivy League education and the empire that was his birthright, Damian Cavallo found his place in New York City’s criminal underworld after the fall of the Syndicate. Reclusive and angry, he works alone — until crime lord Nico Vitale makes a compelling argument for the new organization’s far-reaching power. After hearing Nico out, Damian is willing to consider the possibility of leading the New York territory. <br />
<br />
There’s just one problem: he isn’t the only one who wants it. <br />
<br />
<b>Aria Fiore didn’t choose a life of crime — it chose her.</b> <br />
<br />
Raised by her dangerously unbalanced brother, Primo, after the death of their parents, Aria had no choice but to follow him into a life of crime. She finds happiness working in the city’s community garden but can’t help wondering if she’ll ever get the chance to choose something for herself. Then Damian Cavallo appears — hot, brooding, and demanding Primo forfeit the New York territory. Aria has no love for the business, but even the gorgeous criminal can’t shake her loyalty to her brother. <br />
<br />
As the rivalry becomes more and more deadly, Primo’s first in command is only too happy to goad him into reckless action. Desperate to save her brother, Aria forges an alliance with Damian that quickly turns into an undeniable passion. Now she’s forced to admit the truth: <br />
<br />
<b>She is in love with Damian Cavallo — and her real enemy is much closer to home.</b><br />

I'm sure you're wondering about the title of this post, last week I attended Utopia Con. It was Utopia Con's last event, however thanks to Janet Wallace she plans to have an 10 year reunion in 2021 or 2022. That detail is a little fuzzy at the moment but there's a vote out there for when the reunion should take place.<br />
<br />
I knew a year ago that Utopia Con would probably be my last con for awhile, my life in the past six months has been incredibly insane. I graduated from my program and I had a few personal things going on, things haven't been slow.<br />
<br />
Right now I will be spending the next five weeks studying for my certification exam and then I'll be job hunting in my field. Everyone wish me luck on passing my exam! I'm nervous and personally I'm not the greatest test taker in the world, so the pressure is more on me.<br />
<br />
Once I get the PASS!!!! I'll job hunt and making plans to make trips down to Milwaukee to see my best friend who will be moving there to pursue her PHD in English Lit.<br />
<br />
Yes I know there are plenty of other cons around, but to travel to most of them is near impossible especially now. I don't even know if I'll be able to attend the Reunion, that's nearly 4-5 years from now and I expect to be somewhere in my life by that time.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So a Recap from Utopia Con . . .</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
I love seeing everyone again, many have ask if I'll go to Penned Con but sadly I won't due to my personal life things. I'll miss not seeing anyone but I'll always be able to follow them on facebook and maybe even buy and read some of their books. I still plan on reading, but book blogging is not a thing for me now. I'll review when I can.<br />
<br />
This time the con was at a different hotel which was much better than the other one, although they had a few hiccups but they manage the tribe very well.<br />
<br />
I got to meet Jennifer L Armentrout (TOTAL FAN GIRL), CJ Redwine, Abbi Glines, Issac Marion who are pretty well known authors that started out just like everyone else in the Indie world. I've also learned a few things at some of the panels.<br />
<br />
Apparently Wattpad been around for 10 years, I'd only just discovered it like a year ago . . . It sounds like many are considering this as a platform to share their books or what they are writing to get feedback. I'll be taking it into considerations as well for my writing, I have a lot of projects with almost two books completed.<br />
<br />
I was disappointed with the Barnes and Noble because they were clearly unprepared, they only had three titles of Jennifer's books and she has like 24 published books. Even some of the authors I spoke to were like "They typically do carrying our books . . ." and I remember from 2014 that they did carry some of the authors that have books in their stores.<br />
<br />
I met some new people and made a few friends, I don't know I felt more of an introvert this time around maybe because it's been three years. I don't titled myself as a blogger anymore not always and I'm simply reading for the enjoyment.<br />
<br />
I love meeting Shannon Mayer and having lunch with her, apparently I'm not the only one that wanted all of her books.<br />
<br />
Out of all the time to be in Nashville, it had to rain. It wasn't like rain or sprinkling . . . it was downpour, sideswept rain . . . rain. BUT at least it was warm rain and not cold like we get, so that was something different.<br />
<br />
The Utopia awards was probably the most funnest thing I saw, Michelle G. Miller started a line dancing to Lady Gaga's Poker face, even an author in heels tried to keep up but ended up tripping (I hope you didn't break your ankle whoever it was!!). CJ Redwine and her husband Clint were amazing! and Beth Crowley is an amazing singer and pianist. <br />
<br />
Until next time . . .<br />

Stunt-double for the star in the latest, multi-million-dollar funded military movie? Check.<br /><br />Work with a sexy female military expert? Holy hell, check.<br /><br />When I signed on to do stunts for Hollywood’s eagerly awaited war-thriller, I thought it would be like every other gig—go in, try not to get killed, and leave with a fat check and an adrenaline rush. This time? Not so much.<br /><br />Mackenzie Patterson is the on-set expert. She knows topographical layouts, government lingo, speaks four languages, and is one of the best explosive disposal leaders the Air Force has ever seen, so she’s more than qualified.<br /><br />She’s also the woman who turned my teenage heart to ash.<br /><br />I can’t ignore the darkness that has appeared in her eyes, or the urge I have to take it away.<br /><br />Quitting isn’t an option, but the more I see her, the more I want to make her mine. And that can never happen because our past is twisted with heartbreak, hate, and regret.<br /><br />Every second I spend with her is a battle between holding on to the anger in my heart—and giving in to the love that never left. </div>

Edge of Regret is a powerful love story that got my heart racing. Reading Wade and Mackenzie's story is like none others from Molly usually writing. At first I thought we were diving into an High school sweetheart romance, but then it was just the beginning of where Wade and Mackenzie started and the shattered hearts begins.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to 10 years, Wade is the thrill rider, risk your life stunt man. Mackenzie joined the Air Force, became the best expert on the job until tragedy happens. Now Mackenzie is force to take time off but meanwhile jumped onto a movie project.<br />
<br />
Neither one of them expected to run into each other again, not after what happens the last time they came across one another. Both of them live in regret, Mackenzie more so than Wade, however when Wade realizes just how much Mackenzie needed him to pick up the pieces and hold her together. He was right there.<br />
<br />
For Edge of Regret deals with choosing a path, making a decision not based on your heart but your head.<br />
<br />
I give this Five Cat Paws; I adore Molly's writing and this one stood out from all her other Love on the Edge characters. Edge of Regret is about finally following your heart and not your head, taking care of the one life you have and spending it with the love of your life.Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06290180606627938168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372488332123131278.post-40825238541662622772017-06-14T22:26:00.001-05:002017-06-14T22:26:52.243-05:00Review: Snow White Werewolf Tale <span id="freeText14256085548313794975"><br /></span>

<br />
Snow's Seduction <br />
Hair black as a raven’s coat, skin as white as snow, lips as read as, blabitty-blah, blah, blah. If one more person calls me sweet and innocent, I’m losing my head.<br />
<br />
I’ve got more pressing matters to think about. Like the fact that our wolf pack is in serious debt. If I can’t find a way to secure financing for our estate, we’ll lose our shifting sanctuary. My stepmother—wonderfully wicked as she is—has come up with a plan: seduce a rich jeweler who’s visiting for the weekend. And then, when he agrees to bond with me and make me his forever, we’ll be saved. Not such a bad deal, considering he’s crazy hot, and I’ve had a crush on him forever.<br />
<br />
One problem: I’m not a temptress, not by a long shot. It’s a good thing my childhood best friend, Hunter, has come back into the area. He’s always been a playboy and knows how to get what he wants. He agrees to teach me the rules of seduction, but before long, I realize I'm the one being played. <br />

For Snow becoming 25 years old means that she'll be declared alpha of her pack in the Pacific Northwest. She has it all planned out, and got her eye on the intended prize. However Snow is side struck by an old friend, Hunter. Then that is all she can think about . . . <br />
<br />
But Snow should be keeping her eyes on the pride, the one that can help save White Estate. But for the life of her she's instantly drawn to Hunter. Even though it been years since she last see him. <br />
<br />
For me Snow is a nervous wreak for trying to seduce a guy that she clearly has no true attraction to, I believe that Hunter is her true mate. <br />
<br />
What my thoughts on Hunter is that he's have always like Snow, even though they always had that friendship boundary. I look forward to seeing what happens next!<br />

<strong>ABOUT ALL CLOSED OFF (Releasing May 1, 2017):</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Stella Santos is fine.</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe something terrible happened to her that she can’t even remember. And maybe it drives her crazy when her friends treat her like she’s on the verge of breaking because of it. Maybe it feels even worse when they do what she asks and pretend that it never happened at all. And maybe she’s been getting harassing emails and messages for months from people who don’t even know her, but hate her all the same.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But none of that matters because she’s just fine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Ryan Blake, Stella was always that girl. Vibrant and hilarious and beautiful. He wanted her as his best friend. His more than friends. His everything and anything that she would give him. Which these days is a whole lot of nothing. She gets angry when he’s there. Angry when he’s not there. Angry when he tries to talk and when he doesn’t.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Stella devises an unconventional art project for one of her classes all about exploring intimacy—between both friends and strangers—Ryan finds himself stepping in as guinea pig after one of her subjects bails. What was supposed to be an objective and artistic look at emotion and secrets and sex suddenly becomes much more personal. When he hits it off with another girl from the project, Stella will have to decide if she’s willing to do more than make art about intimacy. To keep him, she’ll have to open up and let herself be the one thing she swore she’d never be again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vulnerable.</div>

I was SO SO excited that TIsh went on to write another book! I have always felt that the Witches of Blackbrook's journey was not over yet. The Sisters have finally been reunited but now there's something that is unbalance. The magic is disrupted. <br />
<br />
The sisters have finally and truly found each other after years and time have passed. They thought they defeated the great evil but now things from their past lives are starting to turn up. I LOVE what Tish did by bringing in a little ancestry to this book, it seems that everyone nowadays are searching their ancestors (Believe I am one of them). It was neat to see who the sisters were in the past when they were apart, to see what kind of life they each lived. They almost basically have the 9 Live of Cat years. <br />
<br />
But I guess now from this book, we're heavily focused on Trin only because of how the first book was laid out. If you haven't read the first book, then you probably shouldn't be reading this review. <br />
<br />
This time we're focusing on seeing these sisters try to reform their bond, after so many life years apart. It's clear that it's a learning curve until Trin's premonition grows darks, heeding a warning. The warnings of the past, including the great evil. <br />
<br />
They learn that the evil is seeking a way to obtain it's magic again but also try to banish the sisters' magic. How to do that? Go back in time. <br />
<br />
But going back in time, reveals secrets and reveals loop holes that could change everything in the present. Can Trin, Caris and Kennedy save their pasts or will the pasts get to them?<br />
<br />

<b>I give this 5 Cat Paws, Truly this was an amazing book, I am thrilled that this book came out and that I had the chance to read it. I can't wait for the next book.</b> </div>

Hey Everyone,<br />
<br />
I know I've been reading but not so much blogging, sadly I think it's only going to be more consistent because I'll be in my FINAL semester of schooling. After that I'll be making a few trips, one of them will be Utopia again!! <br />
<br />
I can't wait to see all my peeps again, and maybe meet some new peeps as well!!! <br />
<br />
I don't know what books I'll be waiting to come out or what books I'm anxious to read, because I haven't had the time to read other than anything that is in ebook format or something that gain my attention. <br />
<br />
Does SassyCat's Book Review have any 2017 Resolutions???<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Right now I don't but we'll see. </div>

I know I have another one coming up on Friday with my dad's side of the family.<br />
<br />
Anyways I wanted to recap what were some of the things I got for Christmas<br />
I got four books >>> Yes you read that right, I got four books pretty small for a book reader but really I've only asked for certain ones this year and my coming up with a list was harder this time around.<br />
<br />
Now I know many of the bloggers were unhappy with How the Winner's Crime series changed covers from the original ones. So I asked for all three of the Hardcover books with the original covers and plus I like hardcovers. So I now have the complete set.<br />
<br />
The next one I asked for only because I had forgotten about it, The Life and death by Stephenie Meyer. Stephenie's books are what got me into reading books in the first place so I think reading Life and Death will bring some resonance from that even though it's not on Edward and Bella or even Renesme and Jacob.<br />
<br />
I do have plans to make some Ebooks purchases in the next few days because there's some great Ebooks out there that has been on my mind but my wallet seems to falter a beat anything I think about buying ebooks or buying books in general.<br />
<br />
There are two other books that I might purchase as well thanks to my cousin giving me a Barnes and Noble gift card. I've been thinking about Lady Midnight and then again I forgot about Stephenie's new book The Chemist and that one sounds really good.<br />
<br />
The next big items were Hallmark ornaments. Before books and even to this day, Ornaments are my things.<br />
<br />
Then I got a few things for my school studies, clearly my parents have been paying attention to what I've been doing this semester . . . writing notes to myself and reminders and using Tabs. It's actually a nice gesture but now I don't know if I want to used one of the Tabs I got because they're cats.<br />
<br />
Then I got my other love which are birding or anything related to wildlife.<br />
<br />
Now my birthday is coming up too and I really have no clue what I really want so I just threw out ideas. But we'll see what happens.

The harder I try to hold on to Blake, the faster she is slipping away.<br /><br />Add to that an unexpected call from her ex, new pressures from the reality show filming our every move, and a job offer Blake may not be able to pass up, and my perfect life is on the same chaotic path as the storms we chase.<br /><br />All I want to do is make her mine—forever—but one trip down tornado alley might be our last.<br /><br /> Expected publication: December 14th 2016</span> </div>

Molly brought that again, with this book but now we're seeing Blake and Dash on Tornado Alley. <br />
<br />
This book possess some inner thoughts of how both Blake and Dash feels towards one another, while Dash has some BIG PLANS. Blake still can't believe that Dash is all her and she is all his, but the abusive relationship she had with Justin certainly does give some weight on her shoulders. <br />
<br />
However Dash's previous single life has come into light, and while he wasn't the type to sleep around, he certinaly was the guy that everyone wanted. Blake starts to feel insecure but Dash always reminds her that he doesn't want anyone but her.<br />
<br />
While Blake is still having self-doubt about herself, I think it's natural for her to feel that after the toxic relationship she had for several years. As far for Dash, his big plans seems to derails but while it kept being derails, he finds that being on Tornado Alley he had hoped that it would be a good run.<br />
<br />
The network wants up close and personal dangerous stuff, but they would take the romance between Blake and Dash anytime over watching a howling, twirling black form but Dash knows that he wants to make sure that it's the team's spotlight and not his relationship with Blake. <br />
<br />
Their relationship are put to the test, whether it's on Tornado Alley, or something back home. In the end they make their biggest decisions EVER. <br />
<br />

I never knew how perfect life could be until Blake Caster was finally mine.
Chasing storms with her only doubles the passion and the rush, but as we travel down tornado alley at the start of the season, we run into more than our fair share of nonweather-related trouble.
My past on the alley catches up to me in a bad way and with each captured storm, a wedge is driven between us. The harder I try to hold on to Blake, the faster she is slipping away.
Add to that an unexpected call from her ex, new pressures from the reality show filming our every move, and a job offer Blake may not be able to pass up, and my perfect life is on the same chaotic path as the storms we chase.
All I want to do is make her mine—forever—but one trip down tornado alley might be our last.

The first book in the Rose Gardner Investigation series, a spinoff of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today best selling Rose Gardner Mystery series.<br /><br />Trouble always comes to those who court it. Rose Gardner’s ability to see glimpses of the future has gotten her into hot water time and again, but so have her curiosity and her sense of daring. Those very qualities helped her defeat the most powerful man in Arkansas—a man so adept at hiding his crimes there was no way to defeat him inside of the law—but her success came at a steep personal price. Now she’s throwing herself into her landscaping business, trying to live a life that’s as orderly as one of her gardens.<br /><br />Rose’s best friend, Neely Kate, is struggling with her own losses, so when she suggests they help a local man find a missing necklace, Rose agrees. It’ll give both of them a welcome distraction, and besides, it’s a simple investigation. What harm could befall them? But things that should be simple rarely are. In seeking out the necklace, Rose and Neely Kate find themselves in the thick of a power struggle in the Fenton County underworld, one that could dethrone Rose’s friend James Malcolm, the surprisingly moral king.<br /><br />The last thing Rose should do is court more trouble, but she’s not the type to step away from a friend in need—and she’s also not so sure she wants an orderly life. <br />

HOW EXCITING!!!! I'm an die hard fan of the series when it was formerly known as the Rose Gardner Mysteries. But now I think this became an more "Mature" book of Rose, sure she's dealing with some nuptials but at the same time she's truly discovering who she is. </div>
<div class="row">
<br /></div>
<div class="row">
But honestly I think when Rose played the role of Lady, I think that is her persona, she just has to find a way to bring Lady into the daytime.<br />
<br />
It seems that both Neely Kate and Rose are trying to move on, but the past always seems to come up. Now let's talk about Rose's love life, her heart opens up to everyone it's a trait of her and while she not with Mason (anymore) I'm not sure how I feel about the recent romance that stirring.<br />
<br />
There was even a moment between her and James Malcolm that was shocked me, I didn't think that there was something more between them. To be honest I'm not sure I want her with Malcolm only because he lives on the side of crimes and her involvement with crimes is what split up her and Mason. I still hope for a reunion for Mason and Rose,<br />
<br />
As far as Neely Kate, she is for sure ready to move on but again she wondered what happen to Ronnie because she's been trying to be officially "divorce" to him but he's disappeared. Did JR Simmons or even Kate Simmons have a role in that?<br />
<br />
I like that Neely Kate is wanting to put her and Rose's investigation skills to the test but now the trouble lies where they are being dragged back to Skeeter's world. How can they be consider serious investigators when they are in the world of Skeeter Malcolm.<br />
<br />
I'm happy that Joe and Neely Kate finally have a relationship but god darn it JOE!!! WHY do you insisted on keeping things from her?<br />
<br />
<b>I give this 5 Cat Paws, as usual I love Rose, now I love her even more with she and Neely Kate being the single women with an "I take no crap from no one" attitude. Can't wait to read the EXPOSE Novellas and the next investigation, maybe Mason will have an appearance? </b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Strap in your heels, Sparkles Investigation is coming. </b></i></span></div>

No really I hope Rose can get Neely Kate to come up with something much more serious. </div>

The heart-stopping first chapter in bestselling author Jessica Shirvington's Disruption series.<br />
<br />
What if a microchip could identify your perfect match? <br />
<br />
What if it could be used against you and the ones you love? <br />
<br />
Eight years ago, Mercer Corporation's M-Bands became mandatory. An evolution of the smartphone, the bracelets promised an easier life. Instead, they have come to control it.<br />
<br />
Two years ago, Maggie Stevens watched helplessly as one of the people she loved most was taken from her, shattering her world as she knew it. Now, Maggie is ready. And Quentin Mercer - heir to the M-Corp empire - has become key to Maggie's plan.<br />
<br />
But as the pieces of her dangerous design fall into place, could Quentin's involvement destroy everything she's fought for? <br />
<br />
In a world full of broken promises, the ones Maggie must keep could be the most heartbreaking.<br />

Paperback, 416 pages<br />

</div>
In a world where your perfect match is found through a microchip, but for Maggie her perfect match is specialty engineered in order to get into the heart of the Mercer Corporation in search of her father. <br />
<br />
What's interesting about Maggie as a character that she willing to risk everything just to find her father, but when loose pieces are involved she finds it harder to be reckless not that it's had stop her before. <br />
<br />
While the pace of the book was gradual, I liked it. There were moments that I liked when Maggie started showing more of an interest into Quentin because she needs him just like he does. But Quentin's reasons were much more greater because he stands to lose almost everything he knows until the truth was finally revealed. <br />
<br />
I have to be honest when the ending came through, I was shocked I did not expect to see that happen even more so when Maggie starts losing everything too. <br />
<br />
Now there was clearly no romance between Quentin and Maggie, it was slow and just kind of a spur of a moment kind of thing. But still no fireworks. But in the end it's seem that Maggie is starting to see beyond her mind it was a little too late but Quentin made it very apparent that he had started to have feelings for her.<br />
<br />
When Maggie was in the Mercer Household, I have to say that she was playing in the lion's den and that is a very dangerous situation in itself. In the end of the book it had clearly showed that nothing goes undetected but now where does Maggie's plan go from here?<br />
<br />
I love the idea from many years ago when I learned about this book and I still love the idea even years later and finally getting a chance to read it.<br />
<br />
<b>I give this an 4 Cat Paws UP, that ending was pretty intense and shocking it was probably one of the best cliff hanger I've read so far. I can't wait to see what happen in the second book. </b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"><strong>From USA Today bestseller Ella James... </strong></span></div>
<span style="color: black;"> After that close-up of his package on the sailboat in Morocco, TMZ started calling him Crown Jewels. </span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">Not that I keep track of Prince Liam. Definitely don’t stalk him online like my friends do. </span>
<span style="color: black;"> I’m out of that scene now. My family’s reality show might still be running, but I’ve been off-screen for a while. When people pass me on the sidewalk, they might squint, but most of them don’t scream “Lucy Rhodes” and ask about my love of Lucky Charms or how my broken toe healed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">Prince Liam—my stalking his Instagram—that’s just for fun. It’s my dirty little secret. Trust me, I’m the only woman in the world who doesn’t actually want him. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">Except I’m back in the Hamptons for the first time in two years. I’m at a party, and Prince Manwhore is here as well. I tell myself that smile has no effect on me. That his ridiculous charisma is a parlor trick I see right through.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">After our one night together, no one knows that I succumbed.
</span>
<span style="color: black;"> It doesn’t matter. It meant nothing.
</span><span style="color: black;"> </span>
<span style="color: black;"> Not until I see those two pink lines.</span></div>
