REVIEW: The Midnight Man by P. Mattern, Ginger Marie

The Midnight Man

Creepy, twisted, strange, but kinda hot. Who knew?!! Oh yea, ghostbusters, too. This book was enjoyable and very interesting.
My rating based on the story alone- 5 stars, however, because of a few typing errors, my final rating is 4 stars. With that said, this book fully captivated my attention, and I will definitely take the time to read book two in this series. Recommended.

REVIEW: Saved by the Outlaw by Alexis Abbott

Saved by the Outlaw on Amazon

Saved by the Outlaw: Motorcycle Club / Hitman Romance

She was the girl that got away. Now she thinks I murdered her dad.


Cherry LaBeau. More like Cherry Bomb, the way she walked back into my life, accusing me of killing her father. 

She's a fiery mystery from my past, and this time, I'm not going to let her get away. 

But first, I have to prove to her that we're lookin' for the same person. That whoever killed her dad has been screwing with my club and the people I care about most. So I'm going to find the scumbag who hurt my Cherry, and my club, and I'm going to make them pay. 

Even if I have to turn back to my former hitman ways... 

A full length Romantic Suspense novel. No Cliffhangers/Standalone. Safe. Contains a teaser for my next release.
RATING: 5 stars
REVIEW: Cherry, a journalist, who's father was murdered, bumps into Russian hitman & bad boy, Leon, who may not be so bad after all. Need I say more?!! Hot!! Plus, a motorcycle club & FBI... yes please. Another enjoyable read from Alexis Abbott- I love her characters and attention to detail; which is never overdone. I find that when I pick up a book from this author, it never feels forced or like a chore to begin reading one of her books, blessing. This is my second read by Alexis Abbott and I'm standing in line for more- happy to have found this author who has provided an ARC in exchange for my honest review. Once again, loved it.
HAPPY READING! ~THERESA

Book and Ebook Haul (Free ebook) November 9, First Touch, and More...

ON SALE: $2.51
Take You Apart
*** 2016 Global Ebook Awards Nominee ***


A woman – so young and ripe – lies amid a detritus of pine needles and dirt. Her hair is matted to her face with a mixture of blood and tears and she screams again before subsiding into body wrenching sobs. Her voice is slightly slurred as she begs, “Please, stop. Please, I want to go home. Please don’t do it again.” A pair of black gloved hands comes into view. They hold pliers. The girl screams again. Lovely.


Successful artist Caleb Everett lives each day with a real-time film inside his head, playing … murder. Since he was a child, Caleb has been able to see into the minds of killers. Working alongside veteran Homicide Detective Jack Rafferty, Caleb now uses his unique ability to balance the scales of justice.


With a new case afoot, Caleb is himself being targeted by a killer, and with attractive journalist Makayla Dawson on the scene, it becomes a race against time to save them all. With the odds savagely stacked against them, will this case take apart everything Caleb holds dear?

Review: Center Stage (Bright Lights Billionaire Book 2) by Ali Parker

CENTER STAGE ON AMAZON

Center Stage (Bright Lights Billionaire Book 2) by Ali Parker

From Best Selling Author, Ali Parker comes a new Billionaire Series filled with sexiness, humor and intense attraction... 

The bright lights of Hollywood can be blinding at times. 

Riley and Ethan dive head first into the hard work required to produce a blockbuster film. With only ten months to get everything done, they’re working around the clock and it shows. The tension between them is building to an explosion neither of them is ready for. In hopes of trying to keep things professional between them, Ethan takes a step back and presents himself in a new light – a more responsible, mature Ethan Lewis. 

The smoke and mirrors takes its toll on both of them, and everyone is starting to notice. It isn’t just about their relationship anymore, but about the possibility of messing up both their careers and all of their dreams. 

This is book 2 in a continued series. 

18+ Explicit sexual content and possible foul language.

RATING: 5 STARS
THERESA'S REVIEW: 
These books are fantastic. Love them. Ali Parker's writing cracks me up, and her dialogue between her witty characters is spot on- realistic.
Book two is just as good as the first. The tension continues to rise between the two main characters Ethan and Riley- unbelievably frustrating, yet to reach climax. Poor Ethan and his super sized package lol. Once again, I am left wanting more and more of Ethan and Riley's story. Recommended (along with all of the foul language involved hahaha). I definitely cannot wait for book three.
I was provided a free copy of Center Stage in exchange for my honest review. Loved it!! 


HAPPY READING!!

REVIEW: Reaper (Boston Underworld, Book 2) by A. Zavarelli

Review on Amazon

REAPER (Boston Underworld Book 2) Kindle Edition by Ashleigh Zavarelli 


Sasha. 

He’s dark and mysterious. Quiet and lethal. 
An Irish mobster. 
Pure sin wrapped up in a beautiful package. 
But there’s also something off about him. 
He doesn’t feel anything. He shows no emotions. 
Sometimes I question his humanity. 
He hasn’t spoken to me in two years. Not a single word. 
But we share a secret, he and I. 
And if it ever comes out, I have no doubt in my mind… 
He won’t have a problem killing me too. 

Ronan. 
I’ve slain for her. I’ll do it again. 
When it comes to Sasha, there isn’t a line I won’t cross. 
I watch her. She doesn’t know it. 
She thinks I hate her. Sometimes, I think I might too. 
But I’m always there, lurking in the shadows. 
Craving her. Trying to keep the beast within at bay. 
I’ll keep her safe. I’ll slaughter anyone who tries to hurt her. 
The only thing I can’t do… is protect her from myself. 

****This is a full-length standalone novel full of hot Irish guys with accents. Dark mafia themes throughout. HEA included.****

RATING: 5 STARS 
THERESA'S REVIEW: I'm struggling with words to describe this book by A. Zavarelli.
Let me just say that this book is impossible to put down. It was over once I started this book, I read it straight through the night. Ronan's story will remain one of my favorites, always. This book was hands down my favorite of the two. Although I appreciated Mack's witty character in the first book, Ronan and Sasha's story snuggled right up next to my heart.
(However, we get some of Mack's charm in book two as well... Mack "thundering down the isle," cracked me up- love her, just read it lol). Ronan and Sasha's story is broken, beautiful, creepy, twisted, yet surprisingly hot!
After purchasing and reviewing Crow (Book 1), I was offered a free copy of Reaper (Book 2) in exchange for my honest review.
Both books have a memorable cast of characters that I'm glad to have met. Well done- I'm now loyal to the Boston Underworld and ready for book 3. :)

SERIES REVIEW & RECOMMENDATION: SERIES- Escape from Furnace

Lockdown (Book 1) on Amazon

Lockdown: Escape from Furnace 1 by Alexander Gordon Smith

Furnace Penitentiary: the world's most secure prison for young offenders, buried a mile beneath the earth's surface. Convicted of a murder he didn't commit, sentenced to life without parole, "new fish" Alex Sawyer knows he has two choices: find a way out, or resign himself to a death behind bars, in the darkness at the bottom of the world. Except in Furnace, death is the least of his worries. Soon Alex discovers that the prison is a place of pure evil, where inhuman creatures in gas masks stalk the corridors at night, where giants in black suits drag screaming inmates into the shadows, where deformed beasts can be heard howling from the blood-drenched tunnels below. And behind everything is the mysterious, all-powerful warden, a man as cruel and dangerous as the devil himself, whose unthinkable acts have consequences that stretch far beyond the walls of the prison.
Together with a bunch of inmates―some innocent kids who have been framed, others cold-blooded killers―Alex plans an escape. But as he starts to uncover the truth about Furnace's deeper, darker purpose, Alex's actions grow ever more dangerous, and he must risk everything to expose this nightmare that's hidden from the eyes of the world.

                                              


SERIES RATING: 5 STARS 

THERESA'S REVIEW: 
This series will simply be a favorite of mine- ALWAYS.

Loved the creativity, heart stopping, and adrenaline pumping ride this entire series takes us on. Every book is as good as the last. Recommending this entire series- 
I'm really bummed that it has to come to an end, but every minute invested in this series was well worth it. Nothing will ever compare. This is one of those series that one wishes to "unread" just to experience the action all over again.
