Amazon/Goodreads Rating: 5/5
In Patti's Imagination Rating: 10/10

As with the other books in the series, you will not be able to put this book down.  This is the third book in the Phoebe Reede: The Untold Story.  This is an awesome page turning book.  You must read the other books prior to this book to get the nuisances of this third book in the unbelievable story that is Phoebe Reede.  This is not a light read.  Unlike the prior books, this one is told in Beau’s point of view and that just adds to the intensity of this book.
Beau thought, he and Phoebe were back on track and the misunderstandings were worked out, until she returns to North Carolina for a promo interview about an upcoming race.  Instead of returning to Georgia and Beau, she calls him to break up with him and that she is leaving.  He doesn’t understand why this is happening or how he is going to deal with this heartbreak until her father, Declan, shows up.  Was this break up real or has something happened to her?   Is it just a heartbreaking break up or has Beau deceived them all?  Beau and Declan must  team up to find her and bring her home.  Will they save her in time and if they do will she be the Phoebe they knew?
Spoiler alert: At the end of book two, Phoebe was indeed kidnapped and that she was forced to call and break up with Beau.  The kidnapper plants things and leaves hints making Declan suspect that Beau is responsible.  This just added to the tension between Declan and Beau.  Of course, Angel plays a big part in trying to keep the peace.  I love her part in this book.  The search to find Phoebe is very frustrating between the author's not sugar coat things and written strictly from Beau's point of view so what is happening to Phoebe is just not known.   The book is very emotional and will leave you with a major hangover.  Things are not what you expect and the twist will leave you shocked.  I can not wait to read more of this story to find out what will be happening next as the story is far from over.

RELEASE BLITZ & EXCERPT -- Rachel Van Dyken's CHEATER!!

Blurb
Lucas Thorn wasn’t born a cheater. All it took was a single moment—say, a certain disastrous incident on the night before his wedding—and boom. Reputation destroyed forever and always. So now he owns it. He has a lady friend for every night of the week (except Sundays—God’s day and all), and his rules are simple: No commitments. No exceptions.

But a certain smart-mouthed, strawberry blonde vixen is about to blow that all to hell.

Avery Black has never forgiven Lucas for cheating on her sister. And suddenly being forced to work with him is pretty much a nightmare on steroids. Of course, it does afford her the opportunity to make his life as difficult as possible. But no good revenge scheme comes without payback. Because he didn’t become the Lucas Thorn without learning a few things about women.

Now Avery’s lust for vengeance has turned into, well, lust. And if Lucas stops cheating, it’s definitely not because he’s falling in love…


Excerpt

One night.
It was all I needed anyway, right? It’s not as if he was going to really commit to me, marry me, offer to impregnate me and father all our children.
“Are you sure about this, Avery?” He cupped my face with his rough hands. “You still have a choice. You can turn that cute ass around and march out that door—hell, you can even slam it on the way out. I’ll even let you keep the steak.”
“Are you offering me an out?”
He nodded.
“Do you offer that to every girl?”
Another nod.
“Do they ever take it?”
“Sometimes.”
“What do you want me to do?”
He paused. “You know, nobody has ever asked me that before.”
Probably because nobody cared about what else he had to offer besides what was dangling between his legs.
“I’m asking. Right now.” I wrapped my arms around his neck. “What does Thorn want?”
“You didn’t full-name me.”
“It seems to make you even more arrogant, God forbid.”
His grin made me weak, so weak that I had to hold on to him for strength. Funny how things come full circle. How he’d always been my rock.
Dependable.
Loving.
And now?
He held all the power. Lucas Thorn . . . could destroy me.
“Stay.” He brushed a soft kiss across my lower lip. “I want you to stay.”

RELEASE BLITZ - Molly McAdams' BLACKBIRD!!

Title: Blackbird
Author: Molly McAdams
Series: A Redemption Novel
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Releasing February 28th, 2017

“McAdams hits Blackbird out of the park with a spellbinding tale of unexpected love and unfathomable redemption. Her ability to draw you in begs you to turn the page to see what happens next while wanting to take your time and savor the words of the story.” – New York Timesbestselling author K. Bromberg


From New York Times bestselling author Molly McAdams comes a powerhouse romantic suspense that will have you questioning your morals and second guessing your view on love.
I live in a world few know exist. I’ve trained for this. I know what to say, what to do, and how to act. I’ve perfected the lethal calm required for this life.
Now it’s time to buy my first girl. But all it takes is one look at the brave girl who starts singing mid-auction for that calm to slip.
Briar Chapman is going to be the death of me, and I don’t care. I’ll take every day with her until that death comes, and I’ll welcome it when it does.
On the outside, Lucas Holt is what nightmares are made of. A man cloaked in darkness, with sin-filled eyes and an enticing grin. A devil so devastatingly beautiful and cruel that his very presence instills fear.
But beneath his terrifying, ever-calm exterior is an affectionate man haunted by a past that refuses to stay buried. And Lucas looks at me as though he’s finally found the only person who can make it all go away.
We’re a battle of the brightest day and the darkest night—and I want to lie in the wake of our war.

My head shook absentmindedly as I tried to comprehend all that he had told me.
Knowing the man Lucas was behind the darkness, I couldn’t grasp why he had ever fought to get into this life at all.
“I’d been wondering what had happened in your life to make you into the devil I saw so often at the beginning,” I began, my voice soft . . . almost hesitant. “But now I wonder how you were able to remain you, instead of letting the devil completely consume you.”
“Don’t ever make the mistake of thinking that that part of me isn’t there.”
“I couldn’t,” I said honestly and huffed a small laugh. “He’s always there . . . I see you fighting him all the time. Now, more than I have in a long time.”
He held my stare, and his dark eyes burned with something I couldn’t define. “You’re afraid of me.”
I wished in that moment for my room so I could have something to hide behind, at least for a minute, because I knew I couldn’t hide any of the emotions coursing through me, and I couldn’t lie to him. “Yes,” I whispered and hated that he seemed to not only expect my answer but accept it. Reaching out, I traced around the outer edge of his eye, thankful I wasn’t shaking. “I’m afraid of the eyes I’m looking into right now. I’ve been afraid of them for a long time. I’m afraid of what I know about you now, but I wonder if I haven’t always known. If you haven’t hinted at it before . . .”
“Briar—”
“But the things you see in your mind that force me to see these eyes? They’ve been there this whole time. They were there when I fell in love with you, and I knew when I fell that they would always be there.” I watched as he fought with whatever haunted him and lowered myself back onto the bed and curled against his side. “The darkest part of your soul can terrify me, but it won’t cause me to leave.”
He gripped my hand in his, and mumbled, “Sometimes I wish it would.” Before I could react or respond, he continued. “If you think I’m dangerous, maybe you understand what my life is like, and maybe you can grasp the danger in throwing out the rules for you. Eventually someone other than William will see what you mean to me. And with who we are and what we do, we all have so many enemies who’ve been waiting for a chance to get back at us—to hurt us.” He raised our joined hands to kiss my wrist and let his lips linger on the skin there. “We don’t have weaknesses, Briar, but you are mine. They’ve been waiting for you.”



Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur babies. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.

 I know. 

I’ve been doing it for years. 

I may not have a musical gift of my own, but I’ve got a nose for talent and an eye for the extraordinary.

Years ago, we strung together a few magical nights, but I keep those memories in a locked drawer and I’ve thrown away the key.

 All that’s left is friendship and work. 

He’s on the verge of unimaginable fame, all his dreams poised to come true. 

I manage his career, but I can’t seem to manage my heart. 

It’s wild, reckless, disobedient. And it remembers all the things I want to forget.

Full Blurb

He rejected her. She loathes him. Now they have to fool everyone and pretend they actually like each other.

Tanner Harris has been busy shagging his way through the ladies of east London, but getting caught by the paparazzi buck-naked with his trouser snake in his hands means he’s sowed his last wild oat.
Dr. Belle Ryan once thought Tanner Harris was the perfect kind of bearded bad boy she needed to relieve a bit of stress after her intense job as a surgical fellow, but an icy cold rejection from London’s sluttiest footballer puts the two at each other’s throats.
Fate and a favour conspire to put Tanner and Belle back in each other’s paths and they’re forced to do a lot more than get along to save face and their careers.
Rage turns to passion and tempers run sizzling hot when they realise they aren’t just falling for each other—they’re jumping head first. And neither have the endurance to keep their hands to themselves.

Review
[Janet]
Amazon/Goodreads Rating: 4.5/5
In Patti's Imagination Rating: 9/10
Meant to Be is the start of the Sweetbriar Cove series and what a sweet start.  Poppy Somerville is a romance novel writer where happily ever after is the norm.  Unfortunately, her personal life is not heading for that HEA ending.  She has recently broken her engagement off, just weeks before the wedding, because she realized he wasn’t her true love.  Poppy’s Aunt, June insists that she come spend some time at her beach cottage in Sweetbriar Cove.  Since she was  struggling with a major case of writer’s block, she decides that a change of scenery may just be what she needs to finish her latest book.  She just wasn’t counting on the scenery being the contractor next door.
Cooper Nicholson has had his heart broken, now he does not believe in the happily ever after.  It just isn’t for him until he meets the new neighbor.  She is a HEA romance writer, which is all the things he doesn’t believe in, but as they end up spending time together, he is beginning to see things differently. They even  met twenty years ago as kids when Poppy was last in Sweetbriar Cove which seems like a romance novel story, but even with all these changes in his life, will he able to get over his past hurts and risk things with Poppy?  As kids that one summer, Cooper drove Poppy nuts with all his pranks, but now they are adults, each with their own demons. Can they slay them ?  Can it be HEA?
The residence of Sweetbriar Cove are a wonderful group of people that know everything that goes on in the town.  The gossip mill is always going, but without it some great laughs would have been missed.  Aunt June is a blast and she just added to the laughs.  Poppy struggled with her writer’s block that you could feel and the way it was broken was awesome. You could relate to the characters and it felt as if you were there with them experiencing all the emotions.
Right from the start, this book pulls you in and it was difficult to put down even though I sort of knew what was going to happen next.  There were a few twists in the story that I didn’t expect to happen, so that made me turn pages to find out how it would all come together.  I loved how the story didn’t move Poppy and Cooper’s relationship too fast. Of course, there were plenty of things that were predictable, but it did not take away from the story with the way the author wrote it.

Unfortunately, there were a few times that I felt like the flow of the story was slightly off and that is why I am not able to give it the 5 stars that it could be. I was glad to find that the story wasn’t completely predictable and that my predictions were not correct. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series as the town of Sweetbriar Cove feels like a second home and I want to know what the others there are up to.
