Here’s my “pre-review” of The Tutor by K. Larsen

April 30, 2017 By Maryse 7 Comments

<— K. Larsen knows my love for her darker, more psych-thrillery stories, and sent me a super-early copy all for my very own. And when I found out the premise of this, editing or no editing, cover or no cover, pre-order or no preorder, I WANTED TO READ IT!

ONLY ONE CAN SURVIVE THIS LOVE.

After a party gone wrong and in desperate need of money for the fall semester of college, twenty-year-old Nora Robertson needs to escape her hometown.

Not the cover… but this author sure knows how to tease us!

She accepts a summer long live-in tutoring job for a handsome man and his little sister at a secluded home deep in the mountains. read more

Jamie Schlosser – The Good Guys Series Reading Order

April 29, 2017 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Oh I love the premise of this series. Social expectations and stereotypes for certain “types” and yet… these characters prove otherwise.

About book #1:

ANGEL
I know what you’re whispering in the car as you pass me by.
Hitchhiker.
When you see me walking along the side of the road with my thumb out, you’ll probably keep driving without giving me a second glance. You probably think I’m foolish. Naïve.
You might assume I’ve made some bad decisions.
You might think I’m too young to be on my own.
You might be right. read more

Lani Lynn Vale – The Dixie Wardens Rejects Series Reading Order

April 29, 2017 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Every book this author writes seems to shoot up high in the Amazon charts. The author has some voracious readers for sure! I’ve read one (and enjoyed it!), and then one from THIS series caught my eye big time!

JMP: Lani Lynn Vale is an auto buy for me. She has several series: Freebirds, Heros of the Dixie Wardens MD and Code 11 KPD SWAT, all hot, alpha men and quirky women.

Nara: I love this author – she writes with feeling. I’ve read her Dixie Wardens and Freebirds series and can’t get enough. This is a must read for me read more

“What’s your sign?” *wink wink* 😉 Here’s a brand new series featuring sexy heroes and their zodiac signs. Are they a match? Your match?

Each one can be read as a standalone and these sound like SO MUCH FUN!! Plus, each book features a trope that’s totally my romance catnip. A neighbor, a colleague, a roommate… and up for preorder… a cop! Yes please!!! 😀
