Shut Up & Read

Cover Reveal! TRAGIC DESIRES   by A.M. Hargrove Cover by Sarah Hansen at Okay Creations Photo by Scott Hoover Photography Cover Model Emmanuel Delcour Description:   My name is Gemini Sheridan. At least that’s what I thought it was for 23 years. Then one day a slight adjustment on the wheel of my mountain bike set into motion a series of catastrophic events that changed my life forever. Now I’m running from the headaches that threaten to destroy me… from the assassins that threaten to kill me… from the truth that exposes who I really am… and from the man that wants to save me. Because he now owns my heart and I fear him above all others. My name is Drexel Wolfe and I’m a private investigator. Nothing ever stands in the way of what I want because when I see something I just take it. All of that changed the night my life collided with Gemini Sheridan’s and now everything is one hot damn mess. And the worst part of it all is that I’m trying to save her a...

The Rising by Terra Harmony My rating: 4 of 5 stars I received a ARC copy from NetGalley. I have had a fascination with mermaids since I was a young girl. Therefore, I tend to gravitate to these types of books. The Rising was no exception. The premise is what sealed the deal. What could be better than mermaids? Mermaids and Werewolves. Now that is a winning combination. Serena is a fifteen year old mermaid who was raised in an orphanage after the tragic death of her parents. Serena has always felt that she didn't belong so she is content to live on the fringe of Society. Despite her isolation, Serena is concerned about her dying race. When she is appointed Werewolf Liaison, Serena hopes she can make a difference. Liam is the first werewolf Serena encounters in her new position as Liaison. The werewolves were once the protectors of the mermaids, but mistrust, resentment and hatred led to the bloody massacre that decimated the mermaids. Will Serena and Liam be able to restore the...

Release Me by J. Kenner My rating: 4 of 5 stars I've read my fair share of sexy billionaire meets young professional, and I'm actually tiring of all the similarities between the books. So what made this one stand out to me with all the other stories similar to this one out there? The writing and the individuality the author put into her story. This is the first book I've read by J. Kenner, and I am looking forward to more from her and this series. Nikki is the young professional. She has had pressure put on her her whole life to be perfect. The trouble is she knows she's not perfect and she is tired of trying to be. The thing I liked most about Nikki is she tried, she tried hard, but she still was insecure in herself and her abilities. Despite her doubts in herself she has made a good life for herself. Damien is the sexy billionaire. Young, confident, dynamic…you get the picture. He is the kind of man who is used to getting his way. When Damien and Ni...

The Professional: Part 1 by Kresley Cole My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is only part I of III, so it's hard to write a complete review. However, I absolutely loved part I! Natalie, the MC, is a spitfire, confident in herself. I do have to confess that the whole 20-something virgin thing has been played out, but for Natalie it is not because she was unpopular in high school/college or timid or had some sort of tragic past, it is more because she knows exactly what she wants and just has not seen it yet. I would have LOVED to be inside Sevastyan's head to know what he was thinking! He is so enigmatic and incredibly sexy. I cannot wait for the next two parts in this story. I've already pre-ordered them. No way I'm waiting until May when the whole book comes out! The story itself is fun and incredibly sexy. I have not read any of Kresley Cole's other books, but I am looking forward to more of her writing. I received a free copy of this book in exchange...

Naughty Gras: Tales of Fat Tuesday by Sable Jordan My rating: 3 of 5 stars Naughty Gras is a collection of fun, sexy short stories centered around…you guessed it…Mardi Gras. I picked up this book specifically for Jessa Callaver's story, In Gods' Hands," but each story was good in its own way, each of unique. All I can say after reading them is things are not always what they seem! View all my reviews
