First, I want to thank Kassandra Klay for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Kassandra Klay sure knows how to tell an amazing story with a dramatic cliff hanger at the end in Ambitious Drive Book One of the Ambition Serial! Wow! Even though this was a very short read it was packed with a sexy boss, amazing descriptive sex scenes, two candidates up for a promotion, and freaky stalkers that creeped not only Alex out but me as well! I cant wait to see what happens in the next book! I am definitely a new fan of Kassandra Klay now!!

Review: Michelle Knight Life After Darkness

https://www.amazon.com/Life-After-Darkness-Happiness-Kidnappings-ebook/dp/B071YYP4K5/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1528860253&sr=8-1&keywords=life+after+darkness+michelle+knight

https://www.drphil.com/videos/michelle-knight-on-the-inspiration-for-her-new-book-life-after-darkness/

First, I want to thank the public library for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Michelle Knight is one amazing and brave woman to go through everything she went through being held hostage all those years with the Cleveland Kidnappings, raped, impregnated only to miscarry through all the beatings she went through. However, that was in the past. In this book Life After Darkness it has been 5 years since she has been freed from that torture she was forced to endure. She gives you a sneak peak of what her life was like after she got out. She had her ups and downs. However, she is one tough cookie!

When I heard she was writing this book I was very interested in reading this. I am a huge fan of true crime books. Not for the crime committed per say but the human side behind it. So when this case came out I was very invested in it. I watched all the news stories, watched Dr. Phil interviews, and read Michelle’s first book and related books too it. This one I was especially happy to read because It talks about how she has healed, moved on, found “her sweetie” and is helping other other abuse victims.

You can tell by her beautiful cover photo and the pictures in the book that she has finally let go of the negative past and has found happiness.  

Review: Tessa Portrait of a Survivor by Kathleen Kifer of The Lewiston Writer's Group

First, I want to thank Kathleen Kifer and the Lewiston Writers Group for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Kathleen Kifer is the strongest, spunkiest, toughest woman with a huge heart and the bravest Author I know to share her story in Tessa A Portrait of A Survivor. Kathleen has an incredible gift for writing especially when it came to telling her own story. You could tell by just reading it that she was passionate about what she was writing about because she lived it. They always say write about what you know and love. Not to mention by writing this must have healed her and put closure on some events in the book that took place.  

Many people like myself who have never personally had a family member diagnosed with any form of cancer may be interested to read this book. They would have a better understanding of what a cancer patient goes through. There is a character whom I actually have a huge soft spot for named Chloe whom got diagnosed with Breast Cancer. In this book Kathleen walks you through the stages of thinking you have the disease, to finding out you do, testing, treatment, etc. Plus, all the emotions, mental parts of it, and of course the physical. Not to mention how the family and friends react. Many parts I will be honest was hard for me to read and I cried. I never knew half of what Breast Cancer Patients went through. Nor did I know how fast it could spread and to other body parts.

One topic that was touched on that I feel strongly about not getting proper medical treatment because they don’t have health insurance. Everyone should have health insurance even if it is Medicaid. For someone who might have any type of cancer and not be able to looked at because they don’t have health insurance is just a crime!!

I was actually shocked to find out to save someone’s life from breast cancer spreading you need to remove the arm. My heart went out to Tessa at this moment in time! I could totally understand where she would feel self-conscious about as she called it her “stump” and didn’t want many people to see it. We all have insecurities about our bodies. Nobody Is perfect. This just now makes her unique. So, I totally understood when she wanted nothing to do with the prosthetic arm! I loved how she stood up to the guy and how understanding Dr. Camden was.

One thing I liked about this book is that she mentioned a lot of places in Buffalo, NY. I too am from Buffalo, NY and smiled when places were mentioned that I knew of. Not many authors put Buffalo, NY locations in their book. So, it is nice to be recognized. Especially if it isn’t for the snow or the Bills loosing.

I love how Kathleen thanked the Lewiston Writers Group for supporting and encouraging her throughout every step of her endeavor.

It was pretty special that her friend Lynn Passanese posed for the beautiful cover of the book as Tessa.

Summary of Book 

Tessa Burke is a strong, confident 44-year-old woman who has survived her recurrent breast cancer with grace and poise, much to the admiration of all who know her. Although she thinks she has been through the worst of it, the disease returns yet again, this time claiming her left arm, and leaving amputation as her only option. Confronting a challenge she could never have prepared for, she must redefine herself in a body she can no longer recognize, as her marriage crumbles into divorce and she faces an uncertain future alone. Yet, just when Tessa is losing hope, a surprise from her past will transform all she believes about herself, the rest of her life and the power of unconditional love.

Summary of Book

"If a Tree Falls" is a tender love story that will appeal to any woman who recalls the rapture of having had an adolescent crush on her favorite rock idol. Amanda Morgan's obsession is world famous musician, Marshall Stewart. His poignant love songs sustain her through the turmoil of her teenage years until his sudden disappearance. Never found, he is mourned by his fans and is eventually declared legally dead. 

Amanda grows into adulthood and finds what she believes to be genuine love until her fiancé ends their engagement when he cannot stand by his promise that he accepts her infertility. Heartbroken, Amanda seeks a way to re-define herself and move on with her life when she takes a job as a live-in babysitter for six-year-old Dylan Sterner. In hiring her, Dylan's grandmother explains that the boy and his father, Mark, recently came to live with her after an auto accident killed her daughter-in-law and left Mark with a severe leg injury. While Amanda immediately bonds with Dylan, she finds Mark hostile and reclusive. Over time, as clues emerge, she begins to suspect the unbelievable possibility that this broken, mysterious man is Marshall Stewart ten years older and in disguise. 

When "Mark" discovers that Amanda is still a fan, he is determined to drive her away but soon realizes that while she's exactly what Dylan needs, he wants her in his own life, as well. As he falls in love with her, he faces the dilemma of admitting his true identity at the risk of betraying her trust and losing her, and Amanda must decide if she can live a life of secrecy to protect the man she loves. 

While I gained writing and editorial experience with my first job at a local newspaper, I've been writing romance since my teen years and love the challenge of creating magic between unlikely characters. I submitted the original version of this manuscript to Harlequin some years ago and was fortunate to catch the attention of then Editorial Assistant Deborah Tile. While she was enthused and encouraging about my work I developed breast cancer during that time and was forced to set the project aside to deal with treatment and several recurrences. Now fully recovered, I recently pulled out the manuscript and have breathed new life into an idea that has blossomed into much more than I started out with. A modern day fairy tale, it is written for the woman who wants to curl up at the end of a long, demanding day and go away to that intriguing place of "What if...?".

Rigged by Vanessa North

Vanessa North

http://vanessanorth.com/

https://www.facebook.com/AuthorVanessaNorth/

https://www.goodreads.com/VanessaNorth

Author of over a dozen novels, novellas, and short stories, Vanessa North delights in giving happy-ever-afters to characters who don’t think they deserve them. Relentless curiosity led her to take up knitting and run a few marathons “just to see if she could.” She started writing for the same reason. Her very patient husband pretends not to notice when her hobbies take over the house. Living and writing in Northwest Georgia, she finds her attempts to keep a quiet home are frequently thwarted by twin boy-children and a very, very large dog.

First, I want to thank Vanessa North for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

WOW!! Vanessa North Rigged me to be my new favorite author when it comes to MMF Bondage books!! She was an author I had never heard nor read from before. I was drawn to her book by the unique cover and amazing synopsis of her book. Now she is someone I would gladly read from again.

 

I admit I read a lot of erotica stories that involve MMF, FFM, and sometimes BDSM and other taboo subjects. You can say I am an openminded reader-to a point.  Each writer has their own way of writing erotica and their own forte.  Vanessa wrote her scenes very sensual, genuine, and incredibly sexy. The way she eased the characters into the bondage scenes were mind blowing with the sexual tension brewing. As a reader I wish I was in the room watching Sean tie Gordon for the first time ever. I was jealous I was not Kait watching the scene unfold.

The story line in Rigged was the most creative and unique storyline that I had ever read before. Even though at the end of the story you could guess what was eventually going to happen. However, it didn’t diminish how great the ending was. 

Prodigal Captive by Rachel Woods

#CandidBookReviews

First, I want to thank Rachel Woods for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Rachel Woods wrote the most unique and interesting mystery book with interesting topics in The Prodigal Captive that I have ever read before. There were times in the book where I was laughing and other times I was shaking my head thinking WOW she went there. I read a lot of mystery books but none of them deal with a severed penis from a dead body. Made me think of John Wayne Bobbitt. Whom ironically is from my neck of the woods. So, that is why I was laughing.

I totally commended Silas the character that came out to his father as thinking he was born the wrong gender! That must have been so hard to do coming out as being transgender. I am a very open-minded person and very pro LGBT. So, I was totally cool with this aspect of the story. What concerned me was he was one of the ones that went missing. You couldn’t help wonder if this was the reason behind it. However, he was not the only one that was missing.

This was a very fast paced moving mystery that kept you guessing. For me I kept wondering why they cut off his penis lmao!!

First, want to thank T.K. Chapin for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

A Reason to Live A Reason to Love Series: Book One is one of T.K. Chapin’s will be one of his best series yet. I have been a huge fan of T.K. Chapin for a while now and each book he puts out amazes me. Each one gets better than the last one. What is it with single men and young kids put in difficult positions in books that just tug on my heart strings?! Mix in a little bit of what T.K. does best with incorporating his faith into the story and you have an amazing story!

So many times in this book I wanted to jump into the book and hug the characters. So much heartache and pain in many of the characters. However, a chance encounter brings two people together and changes both of their lives for the better. It is a truly amazing story that will make your heart smile!

I must add that I am totally in love with the cover! Even before I knew what the book was about I knew I had to read this book! Kudos to T.K.’s Graphic Designer. 

What Nobody Knew by Ameilia Hendrey

#NetGalley

First, I want to thank Ameila Hendrey for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Warning to fellow readers this book is not for everyone. This book has topics such as violence, domestic abuse, verbal abuse, rape, abandonment at age 3, and could be a trigger to many. The material in this book is not for the faint of heart. Read at your own risk.

Ameila Hendrey is one of the bravest and one of the strongest woman I know to share her story in What Nobody Knew.  This is her story of the emotional, mental and most of all the horrid physical pain that was inflicted by her father over and over throughout the years. How her Step Mom just let it happen and how her biological Mom at age 3 abandoned her.

So many times I wanted to jump in the book and rescue her from everything that was going on. 

You cant help but get emotionally attached to this character whom pulls on so many of your heart strings. Infact, there are two times in this book that I literally cried for Amelia! I said this once and I will say it again nobody deserves what Amelia went through. This is one book that will stick with you way after the book ends.

One of the aspect of the books that I really enjoyed were the reports from Social Services. You got their view of what they thought what was really happening to Ameila. Obviously, some personal information to respect the privacy was left out. 

However, In this story you got Ameila’s truth, her father’s lies, and what Social Services.

I seriously think this would make an awesome movie on Lifetime TV or a Netflix Original. 

Cuckoo by Robert Kerins (Lewiston Writers Group)

First, I want to thank Robert Kerins and The Lewiston Writers Group for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Before, I begin my review I want to mention that this book may trigger some readers. This book contains abduction, date rape drug, rape with the intent of getting pregnant, etc. If any of these offend you this book may not be for you.

WOW!!! Robert Keirns really knows how to write a fast paced, jaw dropping, amazing, crime novel that once you start reading you can’t put down. Even if you tried to put it down you just can’t. You need to know how it ends!! Robert wrote a never been written before story line that will just shock you to your core!! As a woman reading this you will feel for these women in the book and what they have gone through. You will be disgusted by the man behind it all. Overall, I now have a new favorite crime author and his name is Robert Keirns. I can’t wait to read his other books.

One thing I really loved about this book was all the references to places in WNY. I smiled at many of the places I go to like Tops, Tim Hortons (my favorite place to get Coffee), Toys-R-Us, Niagara Falls, DiCamillo’s, Leonardo’s Pizza & Subs, etc. I could visualize the places that he was talking about in the book seeing that I was familiar with them. That made me smile and more connected with the book.

This book started out fast and one of the scenes that hooked me in the beginning of the book had me biting my short nails. Having the woman’s body going over the rocks of the Niagara Falls. Being familiar with The Niagara Falls I could picture this woman going over The Falls. Honestly, I could picture myself be that woman and going over The Falls. Granted she was found dead. But WOW the way he described it-I was in pain just reading it.

I am going to be very hesitant next time I go to Tops and interact with their employees.

This is one book that will stay with you with you emotionally and mentally way after you read it. I also feel strongly that this book would be great as a movie on Lifetime TV Channel.

Leaving Kate by JD Corbett

#CandidBookReviews

First, I want to thank JD Corbett for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.

Leaving Kate is the first book I have had the honor to read and review JD Corbett. This story was very powerful on many levels. This book touched on so many relevant topics today that need to be addressed. So many times I wanted to jump into the book and hug the characters.

I loved the fact that Kate and Ernest were both twins. I loved how their parents named them after Ernest Hemingway and his second wife Pauline. Their mom looked up to that couple.

My heart went out to Eric whose father was killed while in active duty in the Marines. He was only 9 years old when he opened the door to uniformed officers and found out the news. No child should have to find out that way. In a twist to the story I love how Eric wanted to enlist and make his Dad proud.

I was very interested to learn about the grief camp that Eric took Kate to. It is a camp that they bring children to whose parent were killed in line of duty. They work with councilors and play with the horses. Eric was very good with the kids and it melted my heart.

I despised Kate’s step father and how he treated her. No parent or any man should treat any woman the way he was treating her. Sober or drunk.

I loved the friendship and budding relationship that Eric and Kate were forming.

Perfect date night for Eric and Kate!! Watching The Notebook underneath the stars!

I enjoyed getting to know JD Corbett at the end of the book there is a write up about her. You can tell that she has a passion for writing and extremely talented at it too. I would be honored to read and review for her again.

Binding Contracts by Jamie Sterling

First, I want to thank Jamie Sterling for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Binding Contracts by Jamie Sterling I enjoyed much more than I did her previous book Captured Hunter! In fact, I think I found a new favorite Erotic Author in Jamie Sterling!

Jamie you had me hooked line and sinker from the first page. Believe it or not that situation in the first part of the book happened to me! So, It was like I was reading my story! You nailed it on the head with the emotions Tara was feeling! I was team Tara on this one!!! I was emotionally involved with this story at this point! I needed to know what Spenser was going to do next now that he was no longer going to be with her.

Jamie picked a storyline that I always wondered what would happen if that happened in real life. Being on dating sites myself (not the type of ones in the book) you wonder if a coworker or a client you work with is on the same dating site and what if you messaged them not knowing. Well, this is what happens in the book. There is a unique twist to it. Spencer is into BDSM and is on the dating website that his client Denise just signed up for. She doesn’t know that he is the one messaging her. Oh the story gets so juicy!!

One thing I loved about this story and Jamie’s writing was it was written tastefully. Not like many other BDSM books you read where it is pure sex. This one actually had a really good story to it. She developed the characters well so you got to know them. She made it so Spenser was not pressuring Denise to go faster than she was being new to the lifestyle.

Leslie was an amazing best friend who gave amazing advice. She was right all along!

Dating and finding that perfect man is hard. But WOW! That blind date she went on took the cake!!! He even freaked me out and I was just reading the book.

I love how authors write about the author pages in the book. I enjoy getting a glimpse into the person whom works so hard on writing their book for us readers. As Jamie is so passionate about writing is the way I feel about reading and reviewing for her. You can tell especially in this book her passion for writing and her subject matter.  To me that makes a great writer.

Captured Hunter by Jamie Sterling

First, I want to thank Jamie Sterling for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Captured Hunter by Jamie Sterling I can honestly say is the most unique BDSM book I have ever read before. If I didn’t know a head of time that it was that genre of book you would never guess it.

This book started out very innocently. I actually liked how Hunter met Dr. Stephanie research astronomer and assistant chair of the Astronomy Department at the University.  She was giving a tour and they hit it off.  They seemed like a good pair both into science related stuff.

If I were Stephanie I don’t think I would appreciate a guy taking me to a Haunted House on a date. Especially where there were ghosts.

The story in my eyes got good when he confessed about a secret he had. He liked Stephanie a lot and didn’t want to hurt her feelings but needed to tell her. He risked losing her but it was something he was willing to do.

This book starts out very slow in my opinion and then heats up at the end. 

Crazy Little Town Called Love by Jill Hannah Anderson

#PandaMoonPublishing

First, I would like to thank Jill Hannah Anderson and PandaMoon Publishing for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Crazy Little Town Called Love by Jill Hannah Anderson is the sequel to her amazing first book The Hell-and-Back Club. If you have not read that book it is a must read!! This book I feel though could be read as a stand alone rather than in order.

I am very moved and honored to see my Heidilynn’s BookReviews name/service in the Acknowledgements in Jill’s book.  I feel extremely blessed to be reading and reviewing for Jill Hannah Anderson and Pandamoon Publishing.

So many times in this book did my heart go out to Molly!! Her boyfriend leaving her, members of the community harassing her by telling her you don’t belong here, etc.

I loved the friendship that was slowly building up between Jackson and Molly. However, Jackson is cautious because he always jumps into things too fast and Molly just getting over Nick.  However, the chemistry is there.

I loved the small town setting of Love. The characters that would come into Rosie’s shop that now Molly was taking over I loved.

Romancing JT Millionaire Romance by Anastasia Alexander

First, I want to thank Anastasia Alexander for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.

If you are a fan of the Bachelorette or the Bachelor then Anastasia Alexander’s Romancing JT Millionaire Romance is just the book for you. Just an fyi JT is NOT Justin Timberlake as I found out while reading the book. Seriously though I literally felt like I was on the set of a reality show trying to figure out who was going to win his heart! To be a fly on the wall was pretty cool seeing I like those reality shows.  

My heart went out to JT whom was grieving the loss of his wife. Yet, his business partner made him go on the show even though his heart was not ready to move on.

It was  a very interesting book.

Cover Revel

The Ex-Wife The Nail Biting Psychological Thriller by Jess Rider

First, I want to thank Jess Ryder, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Jess Ryder is now officially one of my favorite new authors!! The Ex-Wife was just the physiological thriller that I was totally craving!!! Jess did an amazing job at sucking you into the story and captivating you the whole way through. Beware once you start this book you wont want to stop reading it until it is done. Trust me you wont want the book to end-it is that good!!!

If you like books that are extremely fast paced drama, infidelity, major car pile up, abduction, lying, changing identity, ex drama, spousal mid life crisis, coma’s, fake deaths, reinventing yourself, not knowing where the story is going to go, then this book is for you.

The book goes from back in time to present day to make the story very interesting.

I started liking the husband Nicky and by the end of the book hated him with a passion!! Once a cheater always a cheater!! My heart went out to Natasha his second wife so many times during this book!!

One Last Chance by Nancy Stopper

First, I want to thank Nancy Stopper for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

One Last Chance by Nancy Stopper is Book 3 in the Oak Grove Series. I highly suggest you read this book after you read the others to get a sense of the characters and the story line. This is not a standalone book However, I will warn you that In this book might not be for everyone. Especially if you were once in a verbally or physically abusive relationship. It may bring up bad memories for you. There are some violent scenes in the book as well.

I absolutely LOVED this book for so many reasons! Rachel proved over and over again what was not going to kill her was going to make her stronger- no matter what she was going through. Thank God she had the love and support from her brothers, Sawyer, and eventually her parents. So many times my heart ached for Rachel and I wanted to reach into the book just to give her a big hug!! Nobody should ever go though what she went through or live in fear like she did.

What I was glad to see that through all of this she was able to find happiness in the end. She found strength and she found herself again.

The Lies We Believe by TK Chapin

First, I want to thank T.K. Chapin for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

The Lies We Believe in my opinion the best book he is ever written hands down! I am a huge fan of his work. This book was incredibly suspenseful with a lot of twists and turns that had you on the edge of your seat. At times you wanted to hug Ron for all he went through. Also worried about Emily!
With true T.K. fashion he sticks to his strong faith roots. This book focuses on what happens when Ron’s daughter Emily joins a new age church/cult. This is a subject I had never read about so it made for an interesting read.

I really enjoyed how Ron and Theresa met in the grocery store and their immediate connection. Their story is one that does not happen every day and is nice to read about. Theresa was good for him and was there for him in his time of need.

I loved the fact that T.K put a character by the name of Heidi in the book. Not many characters with my name are mentioned. That put a smile on my face.

This is a great genre for T.K. and I really hope he writes more books like this. 

One Last Objection by Nancy Stopper

First, I would like to thank Nancy Stopper for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

One Last Objection by Nancy Stopper is book 4 in the Oak Grove Series. This can be read as a Standalone. However, past characters from previous books show up in this book. For example, we learn in this book that Rachel broke up with Shane (thank God for that) and is now dating Sawyer! He has been so supportive in this book! Joey and Brittney are still together and doing well. However, Joey is having a hard time dealing with a family matter he just found out about.

Out of all the books in the series this was by far my favorite book out of all of them. I really enjoyed reading Michael and Maggie’s story and how it all unfolded. From the first scene they were in Nancy had you hooked! So many ups, downs, and twists and turns with that relationship. I was so happy for Maggie but I felt that Michael was putting it on way too thick. I didn’t blame her for getting PIH after dealing with everything she was going through.

Rachel’s situation pulled on my heart strings a little bit by learning more about birth Dad and that she had another family. However, I felt for her family that raised her as well. It was a complicated situation. But I could understand why Rachel would want to know her sisters and brother.

Only the Pretty Ones A Angry Girl Crime Stories by Karen M. Bryson

First, I have to thank Karen M. Bryson for providing me with this book so I may bring you this book.

Only the Pretty Ones an Angry Girl Crime Story by Karen M. Bryson is the BEST MYSTERY BOOK I have read in a long time!! I have not read from this author before but I will read anything she writes from now on hands down! Once I picked this book up I could not put it down until I knew the ending. WOW the ending was epic! I had an evil laugh at the end of it!! Flynn was my hero!!
This book has must be made into Lifetime TV Movie all over it! I would gladly be watching all the events and drama unfold! If you like books with a lot of twists and turns, abducting, blackmail, sisters who have eachothers backs, shocking moments, moments that will make you tear up, sick twisted senators and his messed up son, past family trauma, bad memories, love in unique places, and you actually wanting to jump in the book yourself and get revenge-then you must read this book!!

My heart went out to both of the sisters for what they both went through past, present! I just wanted to give them a big hug!! NO woman ever deserves what they went through!!!!

Missing by Adiva Geffen

First, I want to thank Adiva Geffen for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Adiva Geffen started out her novel Missing right away by grasping the readers attention with the first few lines of the story. New to her writing and story lines I was unsure of what to expect. I knew it was going to be a mystery about a missing girl. I enjoy reading these types of stories. This one did not disappoint.
Advia made you question throughout the book who Davita was and what kind of person she was. Why would she go missing? Why would so many people be so secretive about it? It was the edge of your seat kind of book.

Another's Child by Einat Danon

First, I would like to thank Einat Danan for providing me with this book so I may bring this review.

Another’s Child was written by Einat Danan and translated from the Hebrew by Tali Shilon. This was my first time reading any of her work and was not sure what to expect. However, I knew I loved the write up and the concept of the book. I ended up loving the book.

Einat’s character Noa touched my heart in so many ways though out the book. Such a young girl to go through such a tragedy at such a young age. Plus, she had a hard time coming to terms with it. There were many times in the book I wanted to reach out to her and hug her. Plus, I admit I cried as well many times throughout the book.
