Kelly Jamieson’s first book in the Bayard Hockey series has a great story, relatable characters, and delivers a serious mhessage. Shut Out is not your typical sex with puck bunnies kind of storyline ( yes, they really call them puck bunnies). There was a lot of action, both on and off the ice, but the author’s storyline about consensual sex, gave this novel a very serious subject.

Rebecca Zanetti’s bio on Amazon says she wasn’t finished with the Dark Protectors series, so she created the Realm Enforces series, to continue some of these characters storylines. Thank Goodness for that! Zanetti created a world in the Dark Protectors series that had good Vampires and bad Vampires, a war, some psychics, shifters and witches, OH My! I, along with the rest of the paranormal loving, reader universe ate these books up, Continue reading “This Chick Read: Wicked Burn (Realm Enforcers #3) by Rebecca Zanetti”
This story starts with a plane crash and admittedly, as my father is a retired pilot, plane crashes are not my favorite subject to read about. However, as the plot unfolded, the plane crash, although it was the impetus driving the plot, was not what this story was about. This novel was about human nature. Noah Hawley revealed each character’s strengths and flaws, Continue reading “This Chick Read: Before the Fall by Noah Hawley”
There is a fascination in the romance industry for the hard living, hard drinking, lawless, overly tattooed man’s man, who finds himself tamed by either the lawful girl next door or the beautiful buxom damsel in distress. This novel gives us a heroine, Haven, who is a bit of both. The MC Biker hero is Dare Kenyon, also all of the above, but mixed in with the tattoo’s and hard living is a decent guy Continue reading “This Chick Read: Ride Hard by Laura Kaye”

This is the third book in the Cedar Ridge series and so far it is my favorite. Jacob Kincaid is Hud’s twin, from the second book in the series My Kind of Wonderful. Jacob left home at eighteen after having an argument with his brother, entered the Army Special Forces, and didn’t speak to his brother again. He returns from a mission, having lost his best friend and brother in arms, and wants to go home to Cedar Ridge and reconnect with his family, and reunite with his brother Hud.
