Book Summary

 

“Don’t Look Back in Anger”

In one night, I lost five years of my life. Here’s what I know …

I was homeless.

I’m a recovering drug addict.

My inked skin crawls from lustful eyes.

I have a serious aversion to women.

My gay partner is a home wrecker.

I own a gun and I’m a damn good shot.

I’m a makeup artist, but it’s an insult to my talent.

I’ve never wanted to possess anything except my Ducati … until I met Darby.

Now here’s what I know since that day in the ER when she pieced me back together … nothing—but a few random thoughts.

My new “friend” is distracting, clingy, and obsessed with acronyms, emojis, and phrases like “breakfast soul mates.”

I didn’t want to like her, but she crawled under my skin and swallowed me whole. Now we’re best friends and she’s my new addiction. I'd drink her from a shot glass, snort her up my nose, or inject her into my veins if I could. What I won’t do … is ever tell her that.

She doesn’t know me … I don’t know me. When those missing years come back, I think she will hate me … I think I will hate me.


My parents named me Patrick Roth, and this is my story.

ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW

The End Game

by Kate McCarthy
Synopsis

“Professional athletes are pillars of their respective communities. They are heroes in the eyes of boys and girls and are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that positively represents their community.”
The public loves a good scandal. Seeing someone fall from the pinnacle of success makes a great headline. No one knows that better than I do. What started out as a promising career in college football, spiralled into scandal and shame.
But being a hero is easier said then done. Especially when there are those who expected to see the great Brody Madden fail. I craved nothing except being the best—willing to do anything to prove them wrong. But I went too far, and I tried too hard, and it broke me.
“At the time of going to print, Jordan Elliott was unavailable for comment.”
I met Brody Madden in my senior year of college. An Australian native on an international scholarship, I was the female soccer sensation with stars in her eyes and no room for a hotshot wide receiver with a chip on his shoulder.
But a heart bursting with ambition and a driving fire to succeed isn’t made of stone. I became his strength, his obsession, and the greatest love of his life. Only I wasn’t there when he needed me most.
This is a story about love and a game that takes everything. Where the path to glory is paved with sacrifice. Where pressure makes you, or breaks you, and triumph is born in the ashes of failure. Where two people’s end game will change everything.
*** 18+ recommended. Contains adult language and adult themes.

Review
4 Touchdowns

Kate McCarthy takes us to a college campus in Austin, Texas where we see how students struggle with keeping up with their grades, and cope with the strenuous demands with being an athlete. I found this book very emotional. Reading about collegiate sports. The ups and downs and the pressure that these athletes deal with. The characters are very complex dealing with family problems, emotional insecurities and doubts of self worth.  
I enjoyed reading this book, but sometimes I felt that the pace dragged, then the pace would pick up again. Jordan is a very inspirational, strong character. Brody is a character to be respected when all is said and done. Although there were sexual situations in this book, I would classify it on the tamer side. If you enjoy feel good books with happy ever afters, you will enjoy this book.

“‘Twas Beauty that soothed the savage Beast.”

* It is recommended that you read the Blood Prince series first, but you won’t be lost if you don’t. May contain spoilers for books in the Blood Prince series.

A Man Becoming a Beast . . .

The naga lord Daman is trapped between forms, half man half wyvern. Once the savior of enslaved changelings all over the kingdom of Sanguenay, Daman is now a danger to everyone around him. The curse that holds him prisoner in his own skin and scales keeps him in a constant state of imbalance, his altruistic nature fighting with the quick and violent temper of his more bestial side. When his plan to capture the witch who cursed him fails and leaves him with a sweet and beautiful changeling, Daman finds himself with the perfect opportunity to prove to himself that he is more man than beast. But hope dies a little more every day, and with every passing sunset, Daman finds his temper growing more and more out of control…

A changeling searching for freedom . . .

Guilt is eating Gigi alive. Since her family lost their fortune and had to move out of their mansion to a poor farm, Gigi has never felt better--and her sister has never felt worse. It seems that every time Gigi digs her hands into the earth to work the farm, she feels stronger, and every time her sister even thinks about working the land, she grows weaker. Gigi’s existence is about easing her sister’s pain, and the guilt over wanting freedom from that responsibility is killing her. What does it say about her loyalty when she leaps at a chance to be the prisoner of a monster just to get away from being her sister’s keeper? And what does it say about her that this monster makes her feel more alive than she ever imagined?

A tale as old as time…

An enchanted rose. A witch’s curse. A beast’s temper. A maiden who can see the potential for good even beneath the scales of a monster. It’s amazing what can transpire…All for a Rose.

Review
4 Enchanted Roses

Reading this story brought me back to my childhood where I wanted to be the girl that saved the beast from the curse that made him the way he was. I also love sharing fairly tales with my kids over the years. Trust me when I say, you do not want to read this book to your kids or grandkids. It is darker, sexier and maybe just a little scarier. Just perfect for the grown up that still enjoys the happy ever after of a good story.
I took the synopsis from Amazon. The ARC that I was given may be slightly different than the book that is offered on Amazon. The name of the maiden in my book was Maribel not Gigi. I assume that this is the only difference.
If you like your fairy tales a little edgy with a beast that knows how to make his beauty quake with an orgasm, this is a book for you.

Review
5 Could not stop laughing stars

I was given the opportunity to review this book in the Auidible format, and let me tell you, I felt like a fly on the wall listening to these two men as they tried to pull off their fake boyfriend relationship. First off the story was heart melting good. Second off the Narrator’s voice and inflections were so sexy that I would love to have him speaking in my ear all the time. Especially when he is speaking in that “Calm Jeremy Down Voice.”
Was there something that I didn’t like about this Auidible? Yes, the music rif at the end and beginning of every section.  I hope that I am using the correct terms.
Back to the story. Reg Moore is without a doubt the perfect boyfriend weather it be in a straight or gay relationship. If you don’t fall in love with this man, there is something wrong with you. He may be too perfect because no one could be that attentive and easy going. As for Jeremy, Reg is dead on with the description that he gives. Jeremy, is adorable, cute, pouty and needy. A 31 year old boy that just needs to be taken care of.
You are going to love listening to this book as an Auidible, but if you prefer you can read it in the Kindle or paperback format.

Love, Lies, Deceit Volume 2 by Leslie Johnson & J. Griffin

LoveLiesDeceit2RBBanner Love, Lies, Deceit 2 Cover 35fe1-add-to-goodreads-button31 button synopsis
Janice thought she could handle her new assignment. Manipulating Tony's confession should have been easy. A little kiss here, a flirty squeeze there. The plan was perfect. She’d get her life back and Tony would pay for his crimes.
Now she’s alone. Vulnerable. Afraid. Listening to talk of her and her lover’s demise. She doesn’t seem so smart now. In fact, she can’t believe she was so stupid to fall for a love covered in deceit and lies.
Part two of this romantic suspense has the two lovers fighting for their lives… and each other.

Synopsis

If you could have the man of your dreams would you go after him?

That was the question Faith asked herself when a tall dark haired, sexy as sin vampire started coming to her in her dreams. Most would dismiss it as nothing more than that, just dreams; but not her. Faith was no ordinary young woman, she was a visionary.

She could see peoples' futures in her dreams and by touching them. When she started seeing the beautiful vampire as she slept, she knew she had to go after him. Discovering he lived in the same house as the sister she never knew she had, just made it easier.

For Adrian the sudden appearance of the stunningly beautiful but innocent Faith meant trouble for him. For two years he'd been living a lie, and keeping a secret about what he got up to each night. His family had no idea, and that was how it had to be until Faith’s arrival threatened it all. 

With her sheer determination to prove that they were destined for one another, suddenly Adrian's life was thrown into chaos. For Faith who had 'seen' his future and knew his secrets it was simple, come clean and accept that he was hers.

Of course in her mind it was that simple, but not to Adrian. He still fought her at every turn, appearing to want her and then pushing her away again. Finally when things got too much, he ran, abandoning her and leaving her broken-hearted.

Then something happened, something that threatened their lives and had the potential to change everything. Was this going to be Faith’s chance for happily ever after or would everything be lost?


Would her visions become her nightmares, or was she finally going to get Adrian, who had literally been the man of her dreams?

Author Bio

For as long as I can remember, I've loved to write, poetry, short stories just about anything. My English teachers in school kept telling me I should write and it took me a lot of years to finally get around to it. 

I spent too long worrying about failing as a writer before I realized that living with the regret of never trying was worse.

I live in a sleepy country town in Tasmania, Australia with my partner and our three children, who aren't so little anymore, plus a whole assortment of animals. 

Natasha's Awakening is my first book but I have no intention of stopping now and will continue to live my dream of being a published author. I have just published Taming Eric which is his POV to Natasha's Awakening. 


My interests are writing of course, reading, watching movies and hanging out at home with my family, our six cats and one dog.

You can find me on Facebook under my author page J. A Melville and my book's page Natasha's Awakening.
