Top FBI negotiator Quentin Savage is hurled into his worst nightmare when a terrorist attack on a luxury hotel propels him from esteemed keynote speaker to powerless captive.
Haley Cramer is co-owner of a private security firm and prides herself on her independence, but she is shaken to the core when gunmen attack a conference she is attending. She survives, but only because Quentin Savage pretends she’s his wife.

#ArcAugust Book Review : A Blade So Black by L.L. McKinney @elleonwords


https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1ktqDjfolx0eWiyr5S_g82xSyspcRI8TM
Release Date: 9/25/2018

The first time the Nightmares came, it nearly cost Alice her life. Now she's trained to battle monstrous creatures in the dark dream realm known as Wonderland with magic weapons and hardcore fighting skills. Yet even warriors have a curfew.
Life in real-world Atlanta isn't always so simple, as Alice juggles an overprotective mom, a high-maintenance best friend, and a slipping GPA. Keeping the Nightmares at bay is turning into a full-time job. But when Alice's handsome and mysterious mentor is poisoned, she has to find the antidote by venturing deeper into Wonderland than she’s ever gone before. And she'll need to use everything she's learned in both worlds to keep from losing her head . . . literally.
Debut author L.L. McKinney delivers an action-packed twist on an old classic, full of romance and otherworldly intrigue.

REVIEW
This was a book that I’d had for a very long time but I could not get through it. However, I decided to get the audiobook and that was the best decision I could have made. The narration on the audiobook makes this retelling so much more entertaining. I absolutely love the characters, I love all the personalities, and I absolutely loved this cliffhanger. This Alice in Wonderland - Buffy the vampire slayer crossover definitely hits the mark.

​masquerade
Release Date: 05/07/2019
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing

Non-binary poet Cyrus Parker returns with an all-new collection of poetry and prose dedicated to those struggling to find their own identity in a world that often forces one into the confines of what's considered "socially acceptable."
Divided into three parts and illustrated by Parker, masquerade grapples with topics such as the never-ending search for acceptance, gender identity, relationships, and the struggle to recognize your own face after hiding behind another for so long.

REVIEW 
So I first read book 1 DROPKICKromance about two months ago, I've had it for a longer time, but this has to be one of the best follow-ups that I have ever read. Cyrus speaks so strongly and poured so much emotion into this. Broken into 3 parts, Cyrus speaks on self-discovery, on a difficult past and looking to a brighter future. He talks about his love for for Amanda Lovelace (another of my poetic loved) and how that changed him and difficulties with his father. Also no worries, the Exfactor from book one that was just terrible, makes a return in some of the most beautifully savage pieces that Cyrus puts in this book.

“to chase love is to chase heartbreak, and i haven’t a heart left to break.”

The first half of DROPKICKromance focuses on a toxic, long-distance relationship the author was involved in for several years, while the second half focuses on Parker’s current relationship with poet Amanda Lovelace, who penned a beautiful foreword for the book. This collection takes you on a journey through first love, heartbreak, and learning to love again.

REVIEW
Omg the ups and downs of love. This took me all the way. The insecurities, the betrayals, the heartache. The discovery of selflove and being able to let someone love you back. Cyrus and Amanda are a dream duo and following their romance and reading these words, all the feels. 

#arcAugust Book Review : Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey









Released: June 11 2019

Fix Her Up: A Novel by Tessa Bailey https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062872834/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_v43sDbXGFB6WM via @amazon
A brand new romantic comedy from New York Times bestseller Tessa Bailey!

Georgette Castle’s family runs the best home renovation business in town, but she picked balloons instead of blueprints and they haven’t taken her seriously since. Frankly, she’s over it. Georgie loves planning children’s birthday parties and making people laugh, just not at her own expense. She’s determined to fix herself up into a Woman of the World... whatever that means.

Phase one: new framework for her business (a website from this decade, perhaps?)

Phase two: a gut-reno on her wardrobe (fyi, leggings are pants.)

Phase three: updates to her exterior (do people still wax?)

Phase four: put herself on the market (and stop crushing on Travis Ford!)

Living her best life means facing the truth: Georgie hasn’t been on a date since, well, ever. Nobody’s asking the town clown out for a night of hot sex, that’s for sure. Maybe if people think she’s having a steamy love affair, they’ll acknowledge she’s not just the “little sister” who paints faces for a living. And who better to help demolish that image than the resident sports star and tabloid favorite?

Travis Ford was major league baseball’s hottest rookie when an injury ended his career. Now he’s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his glory days. But he can’t even cross the street without someone recapping his greatest hits. Or making a joke about his… bat. And then there's Georgie, his best friend’s sister, who is not a kid anymore. When she proposes a wild scheme—that they pretend to date, to shock her family and help him land a new job—he agrees. What’s the harm? It’s not like it’s real. But the girl Travis used to tease is now a funny, full-of-life woman and there’s nothing fake about how much he wants her...


REVIEW

Really loved this, tho I did have serious Travis hate at the start. He grew on me and Tessa wrote his discoveries in such a way that I had googly eyes. THANK YOU for not making the final conflict what I feared. Also, Stephen...bit douchey love.

About Sightseeing in Manhattan

Hannah-Rae 
On stage at a Magic Mike theme night with the music blaring and her hands trailing the oily, well-defined abs of another man is where Hannah-Rae realizes that maybe she isn’t as heartbroken about her cheating ex as she had first thought. She had known she needed to make some big decisions about life before flying out to NYC, she just hadn’t expected her heart would be calling all the shots. 
 Matt
He didn’t know why or how his passion for dance had come about. All he knew is that when he was on that stage throwing shapes down, he felt so alive in the moment that he almost forgot about the fact that his little sister was sick and there was absolutely nothing he could do about it. Almost. 

When chance circumstances bring us together, will dancing bring us something more than either of us expected? 

After all, 425 Madison Avenue is the perfect place to fall in love.

*Each story is completely standalone.


REVIEW
Well this was definitely different. Visually impaired lead with a love of dance and a male dancer with a love of family. Took me some time to enjoy this because it felt a little disjointed here and there. I will say that I loved reading how Hannah’s confidence would grow but you can still feel the anxiety of every new experience. Good read.

Excerpt
Copyright @ 2019 C. Lesbirel

Letting go with one of his hands, he slides his fingertips up my back and to the nape of my neck. Some of my hair tangles between his fingers and he squeezes gently, pulling me up toward him again to meet another waiting kiss.

He spins me back around and commands me to take hold of the wheel and not let go. I do as I’m told and cling to it, not even caring about the direction or thinking about anything other than how good his hands feel, now that they are both free to roam over my body. He traces them over my hips and spans my waist before tracing up to the curve of my breasts and cupping them each, over the top of my cardigan.

“I like this, pink suits you,” he whispers softly into my ear.

“I guessed it was pink from the feel of it. It’s light and soft, like cotton candy.”

“It’s cute. Sometimes you look cute. I thought that when I picked you up. Now you don’t look cute, though.”

“I don’t? Then how do I look now?”

“Breath taking.” He says the word so easily that it sounds natural and believable. Even if I don’t believe it myself, he makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the entire city.

My long waves blow free in the evening breeze and it’s eerily quiet with the noise of the city in the distant background. “Your curves are the sexiest thing I’ve ever laid eyes on,” he murmurs as his hands come to rest on my waist, pinching gently as though trying to control himself. I’m not sure I want him to.
