LEAVING THE BLOG WORLD BEHIND


I’ve come to the realisation that reading and reviewing is a full time job and it feels like that now. That’s not how I wanted it to be so due to some other personal reasons also I will slowly leave the blog world behind.

I will still review books and leave my reviews on the following places:




In addition I will be using my other accounts to promote books and authors:




I have one ☝️ other account that I haven’t used as much but will be using more:





I want reading to be pleasurable again and not feel lik something I HAVE to do. I hope to be able to receive ARC’s and review them on my other accounts. If not, I will always continue to read and review books. I’m forever a reader.

At last I want to thank the authors and promoters that has been so kind to feed my addiction to reading with ARC’s and I hope they will still need me from time to time because i will still sign up to promote books, just not on blog tours.

This is my last post!

Review: Once Burned

Once Burned Once Burned by L.A. Witt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

*A copy of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley and I'm freely giving my honest review.*

This was a good 4 star read and this is why:

* Good storyline, a little abrupt ending but the epilogue saved it.
* Well written characters
* Love scenes that was hot but tasteful described
* No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
* The amount of dialogues was enough but barley.......
* Feelings is present at times and I felt a little emotional when Diego had some challenges because I can to a degree relate
* Diego and Mark is building a relationship slow and steady which made it realistic

Good mm romance I most certainly recommend.

Synopsis:

There’s no resisting the thrum of temptation in this male/male rock-star romance from genre-favorite author Anna Zabo!

Twisted Wishes front man Ray Van Zeller is in one hell of a tight spot. After a heated confrontation with his bandmate goes viral, Ray is hit with a PR nightmare the fledgling band
so doesn’t need. But his problems only multiply when they snag a talented new drummer—insufferably sexy Zavier Demos, the high school crush Ray barely survived.

Zavier’s kept a casual eye on Twisted Wishes for years, and lately, he likes what he sees. What he doesn’t like is how out of control Ray seems—something Zavier’s aching to correct after their first pulse-pounding encounter. If Ray’s up for the challenge.

Despite the prospect of a glorious sexual encore, Ray is reluctant to trust Zavier with his band—or his heart. And Zavier has always had big dreams; this gig was supposed to be temporary. But touring together has opened their eyes to new passions and new possibilities, making them rethink their commitments, both to the band and to each other. 



Excerpt:

The clock in Ray’s room read 3:57. He closed his eyes against the red glow. Fucking hell. He should be dead asleep. He’d burned so much energy, his body ached from dancing, jumping, and singing. He’d been higher than a kite after the show.
Zavier had touched him—not just a friendly pat on the back, but an intimate clasp that nearly put him on his knees in front of who knew how many fans. Bet that photo was already making the rounds.
He kinda wanted to see it. Did Zavier look like Ray remembered—like he might kiss Ray, like he wanted Ray?
Instead, Zavier had spoken, his breath a caress against Ray’s ear. You did exactly what I told you to do. I’m very pleased. Very pleased. He’d never heard those words spoken with the same tone as suck my cock before.
Ray rolled over and ignored the hardness of his dick. He wouldn’t jack off to Zavier. Except he already had once tonight. And had on previous nights. Fucking asshole was stunning and sexy and…not actually an asshole.
Well, maybe a little, but they all had their edges.
Part of him wished he could take the risk and get buzzed on liquor; the other part knew drinking wouldn’t help at all. He was too wired from the concert and should have crashed hours ago—everyone else had. Dom was sawing wood in the next room, loud enough Ray was tempted to go in and roll him onto his side to shut him up.
God, the concert. They’d never sounded so good. He’d never felt that alive with the music behind him. Once they’d started playing, Ray hadn’t needed to worry. Hadn’t had to figure out how to cover for mistakes, bad playing, or anything. The band would nail it, so he’d been free to let go and sing.
Trust. He trusted the band again. He’d always known Dom and Mish would play their hearts out, but he’d never known if Kevin would survive the night.
Zavier not only survived, he’d ruled every beat, from the first to the last.
Ray trusted Zavier.
Zavier believed in Ray.

Ray grunted, and that sharp, painful sound faded in the room. He had no idea why Zavier believed in him. He wasn’t anything like Zav. Not as talented, not as skilled. Yes, he worked hard—but he fucked up so often it wasn’t funny. Sure, Mish and Dom were on his side, but that was because they’d been together for years and they’d accepted him, warts, foolishness, and all.
But Zavier? He had no reason at all to believe in Ray and every reason not to.
Yet he did. Deferred to Ray. Treated him like an equal. And Ray fucking wanted him, wanted his kiss, his words in his ear and breath on his neck.



About Anna Zabo:


Anna Zabo writes contemporary and paranormal romance for all colors of the rainbow. They live and work in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which isn’t nearly as boring as most people think.

Anna grew up in the wilds of suburban Philadelphia before returning to their ancestral homelands in Western Pennsylvania. As a child they were heartily disappointed to discover that they couldn’t grow up to be what they wanted (a boy, a cat, a dragon), so they settled on being themself whenever possible, which may be a combination of a boy, a cat, and a dragon. Or perhaps a girl, a knight, and a writer. Depends on whom you ask. They do have a penchant for colorful ties and may be hording a small collection of cufflinks.They can be easily plied with coffee.

Anna has an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University, where they fell in with a roving band of romance writers and never looked back. They also have a BA in Creative Writing from Carnegie Mellon University.

My review:

Syncopation Syncopation by Anna Zabo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*A copy of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley and I'm freely giving my honest review.*

This is the first book in a new series from this author. I absolutely love it and can’t wait for the next book. So it’s a good start.

Reasons I love it:
* Very good storyline that makes the story seem very good put together and thought through before written.
* Characters that is coming alive through the authors way of writing. I can feel Ray’s despair and Zavier’s need to take care of him.
* The secondary characters intrigued me so I am curious about their stories. I bet Dom and Mish has interesting stories and I hope to read them one day.
* No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
* A good amount of dialogues, and I like both the internal dialogues and the one between the characters.
* The intimate scenes between Ray and Zavier is intensely hot and emotional.
* The BDMS part of this story is described in a tasteful way. Safety, consent, trust and caring is essential so when I read it even I feel safe(if you’re a reader of BDMS stories you might know what I mean)
* The mental journey for both Ray and Zavier is filled with feelings and how they reflect on their lives and comes to a agreement is thoughtfully put in to words.

I have to stop writing now before I end up with spoilers. I recommend reading it because I think this is going to be a series I will reread like I do with some other authors series like Megan Erickson and Rhys Ford.
5 stars 🌟

Book One in the Rush Series duet)
Release date 4/9/2018

A Contemporary Romance Duet

New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Authors 
Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward


BLURB

How to kick off a great summer in the Hamptons:

Snag a gorgeous rental on the beach. Check. 

Get a job at a trendy summer haunt. Check. 

How to screw up a great summer in the Hamptons:

Fall for the one guy with a dark leather jacket, scruff on his face, and intense eyes that doesn’t fit in with the rest of the tony looking crowd.  A guy you can’t have when you’ll be leaving at the end of the season.

Check. Check. Check.

I should add—especially when the guy is your sexy, tattooed God of a boss.

Especially when he not only owns your place of employment but inherited half of the town. 

Especially when he’s mean to you.

Or so I thought.

Until one night when he demanded I get in his car so he could drive me home because he didn’t 

want me walking in the dark. 

That was sort of how it all started with Rush.

And then little by little, some of the walls of this hardass man started to come down. 

I never expected that the two of us, seemingly opposites from the outside, would grow so close. 

I wasn't supposed to fall for the rebel heir, especially when he made it clear he didn’t want to cross the line with me. 

As the temperature turned cooler, the nights became hotter.  My summer became a lot more interesting—and complicated.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

Rebel Heir is the first book in the Rush Series Duet.  Book Two, Rebel Heart, will release six weeks later on May, 22, 2018.

Review: Hard Pack

Hard Pack Hard Pack by Allyson Lindt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

*I was gifted this ARC from the author and freely give my review*

This was not as good as the first book in this series but it was still a good 4 star read.
I think the only thing that made me give it 4 and not 5 stars is that I didn’t feel the connection between Victoria and Tristan that makes the story more intense.

This is what I liked:
* Good storyline, partly parallel and continuing from the first book.
* No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
* A good amount of dialogues
* Some hot love scenes
* Happy ending (always a winner)
* The insecurities in both Victoria and Tristan made the the story more realistic.
* A glimpse of the next couple made me very curious and I like the little teasing with what’s coming....

I happily recommend it and I will be reading the next one.

Review: Good Boy

Good Boy Good Boy by Sarina Bowen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Best audio book so far

I love this audio book, I did not once feel bored, if I could I would have listened to it in one setting.

This is what I loved:
* Good storyline that didn’t jump all around and had a steady forward progress
* Characters that was described in a way that made them feel familiar
* Love scenes that burned the sheets (floor, chairs, walls etc 😂)
* Narrators that made the listen very enjoyable, I felt like it was a good match and they both read with feelings and made the story come alive. Definitely not going to hesitate if I see a audio book with their voices.
* No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
* The dialogues was plenty and I like that.

I loved this on so much that I probably would listen to it again sometime.

Review: Harbour Falls

Harbour Falls Harbour Falls by S.R. Grey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

* I received a copy of this audio book and freely give my review *

What did you love best about Harbour Falls?
The plot

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes, it was good and unpredictable

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The women narrator was good but could have been more clear in her pronation.
I didn’t like the voice she made for the male characters, they were more like whisper and that made it hard to hear properly.
I wish there had been a male narrator in addition to the female.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
No

Any additional comments?
The lacking of connection between the two main characters was one of the reasons this book didn’t move me in any way.
I felt there was no emotions and although feelings were described it never felt realistic and romantic.
The plot was on the other hand very good and intriguing.
It’s not a HEA but it’s not totally a cliffhanger so I could maybe read the next book, maybe!
