Romance Review

Romance A+

Review by: Kayla for Sunshine & Mountains

I absolutely loved this book. I loved the story itself. Madison is a law student and research assistant for Boston’s prestigious McMillan and Shaw law firm. She’s smart, she’s beautiful and she knows what she wants in life. Madison’s worked hard to be where she is, and nothing is going to stop her from getting what she wants. Just weeks before graduation, her father has a heart attack, and Madison has to take an extended trip home, her perfectly planned life is threatened to be changed when she meets Holden Brooks. Holden is a hot cowboy who has a troubled past. Holden’s been in trouble, fought his demons, and left everything back in Texas and now he works helping Madison’s parents with their property and helps at his cousin Archer’s bar at night. He’s happy with his life and then Madison walks into his life and turns it upside down. He can’t get enough of her and she is scared to death of what will happen if she is with Holden.

I think that K.Langston did a wonderful job for her debut book! It had the perfect amount of romance, drama and reality. I had a book hangover after I read this.

It was truly an awesome read and I think everyone should get a copy of it when it comes out.

Thank you K.Langston for writing such a great book! I will definitely be recommending this book to my friends!!!

I was given an ARC of because you’re mine from Sunshine and Mountains review for an honest review.

Romance Author

I’ve worked in property management for the last decade. Married to my soul mate and gentle giant for 12 years, the man has never been, nor will he ever be, the romantic type. However, we still have a very passionate marriage and we love each other fiercely. We have two beautiful children who drive us absolutely insane, but we love them dearly and we are certain our life would suck without them.

I love music. I have a broad range of taste so I listen to all genres, but I love country the most.

Most of my friends and family will tell you that I’m a bit loud. I take that back…I’m very LOUD. I tend to always say what others are thinking and I never sugarcoat anything.

Writing has given me the release I’ve been craving all of these years. An outlet to express myself the way I want to, the way I need to. It’s like therapy for me and my life was forever changed the moment I typed that first line.

ARC Review: Shadow by Paula Weston – The new angel novel to watch! Ya paranormal heavy hitter!

Synopsis:

It’s almost a year since Gaby Winters watched her twin brother die.

In the sunshine of a new town her body has healed, but her grief is raw and constant. It doesn’t help that every night in her dreams she fights and kills hell-beasts.

And then Rafa comes to town. Not only does he look exactly like the guy who’s been appearing in Gaby’s dreams, he tells her things about her brother and her life that cannot be true, things that are dangerous.

Who is Rafa?

Who are the Rephaim?

And who is Gaby?

Review:

A+

I love YA reads, especially YA reads involving angels. I’ve read countless fallen angel stories, nephilum stories, and generally biblically referenced stories. I love the myth, the idea, the world. It’s a favorite.

Gaby is an amazing character. Her reactions are genuine, her character is interesting, and the whole plot wraps around her so well. I love it. What’s so wonderful about this book is that the author takes well known ideas, and blurs the lines with new ideas she’s created and built an amazing world. Each chapter gives you more and you can’t stop reading. You can’t stop wanting more. I’m glad I got this book when the second is already out. I think the wait would’ve killed me. Gaby is a badass, with a mouth to match. She just got the rub pulled out from under her and she’s still going.

Rafa is interesting too, honestly I didn’t know what to think, but as the book goes on I really came to love him as a character. His concern is real, and he’s just a genuine character in the novel that it wouldn’t be such an amazing story without him. He’s the much needed addition to Gaby, and together these two make this story flow so beautifully and it’s beyond compelling!

The fight scenes were intense, this book was full of suspense and twist and turns and even though I’ve read countless angel novels, I didn’t have a clue what was coming. Paula Weston, as others have said, is a force to be reckoned with. She has the power to stand against the heavy hitters in this genre. She’s got a good voice, a wonderful style and this book will be sitting on my shelf next to Jessica Shrivington’s series, and Cassandra Clare’s series. She deserves that spot and I cannot wait to get my hands on book 2, Haze!

** I got this title from NetGalley to read & review honestly **

About The Author:

I’m the author of the Rephaim series.

I’m also an avid reader and blogger, a huge fan of Australian literature and fantasy/paranormal stories, a closet comic reader and TV addict…and I’m borderline obsessed with the Foo Fighters.

Synopsis:

The third installment in the sexy Inside Out erotic romance series—in the seductive tradition of Fifty Shades of Grey.

You’ve discovered Rebecca’s secrets. You’ve discovered Sara’s secrets. Now Sara will discover “his” deepest, darkest secrets…but will those secrets bind them together–or tear them apart?

Review:

Grade: A

I got this ARC and I rushed to read the other books in this series first so I could get a review of this book out around it’s release. It didn’t take long! I flew through the whole series, it’s so well written! I couldn’t put them down!

Lisa Renee Jones is just such a phenomenal writer. She puts so much heart and soul into her books, and it bleeds into her characters, which then affect the reader so strongly! I’m not a big romance reader, but Lisa’s books are phenomenal! They cover the romance genre just as good as any of the major big name players, but she weaves so much more into her stories then the traditional romance novel. There’s drama, there’s mystery. She keeps everyone interested with her beautiful writing style, and lush descriptions. I love the characters, Sara & Chris’s relationship is so complex and beautiful, steamy and passionate! They work so well together, and Chris is just so strong and sexy, and he’s love for Sara is so clear, real and touching, that this novel is the best one so far.

My favorite element in these books is the mystery! I love how much this adds to the book, and how it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time! We found out what happened to Rebecca, and now Elle is missing and Sara is in jeopardy! It’s just one twist after another and you can’t put these books down! You get the steamy sex, the amazing writing and then an incredible mystery as well. It’s just too good to be true, and much better then Fifty Shades or Crossfire, because this book has so much more depth to it, so many more layers, and the plot just gives us so much more then just the sex, just the relationship. We are watching such realistic characters, fight their instincts and preferences to be together, as well as dealing with other drama, and trying to get the the bottom of the mystery. It’s perfect.

For me, a readers of very select romances, I love Lisa’s series! She does an amazing job of keeping up with top shelf romance but adding some additional layers to her plot to interest everyone!

This book is amazing, touching, suspenseful and exactly what you need to read!!! 🙂 I plan to go back and read all three again before the next one, as well as buy them all for my shelf! 🙂 This author, local to my city to boot, is amazing! She’s the next big name in romance!

 

**I got this book from NetGalley and from author in exchange for honest review **

How far would you go to find yourself?

That’s the question that’s been haunting Olivia Owens for years.

All Olivia has ever wanted to do is live and make mistakes, but her preacher father has made that impossible. She believes that her years at college will be her ticket into the real world and her chance to be wild and spontaneous.
