Pepper Winters – Ribbon Duet Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

PEPPER WINTERS ALERT!!! This one sounds both eerie and beautiful at the same time and ohhhhhhhh how my fellow readers are loving it. And! Book #2 (the conclusion) just went up for preorder.

Ali: Omg the Boy and His Ribbon! I bawled you guys. It’s not the usual dark read Pepper Winters puts out, but it’s so so much feels. My heart couldn’t take it, book 2 I need you ASAP! This will definitely be in my top 10 reads this year already. That and Cruel Prince.
Robyn: I must put my 2 cents in on The Boy and His Ribbon. This is another one of those books that you need lots of time for. If you don’t like cliffies don’t read this book yet. I think book 2 comes out in June. I’m dying, literally dying for book 2! Peppers writing is exquisite. It took me there. I felt everything. Definately one of my best of 2018 along with Transcend and Epoch.
Diana: I read The Boy and his Ribbon on Wednesday. Can’t wait for the sequel!! Even knowing how it was going to end from the halfway mark, it was like a train wreck – I couldn’t stop reading & loving it. Ren is the best. Della was both frustrating & understandable. Gah! The waiting!
MichelleS: I’m still reading The Boy & His Ribbon. Definitely a unique plotline. I’m strangely hooked.
Amy: Holy moly, The Boy and His Ribbon sounds GUT-WRENCHING. I clicked it, but I’m going to have to work up the courage to read it. :?
Cheryl: The Boy and His Ribbon does sound gut wrenching, but I think I’m going to wait until book 2 is released before reading it. read more

By 44 Comments

Happy Monday!! Not a ton of earlybirds today but tomorrow’s big new release day promise to be AH-MAZING!!!!! I included some highlights of those below too. Feast your eyes. 😉
I have a feeling some more might sneak in throughout the day, so I’ll add them as they pop up (or let me know if you see one I missed).
LOOK WHAT JUST WENT LIVE :D !

  • Torn (Torn Series, Book 1) by Melody Anne <— LIVE!!! MARITAL STRIFE ALERT!!! “...that’s all we did. We just … slept. No big deal you say? Wrong. It was a very big deal. It was the night I realized we had a real problem. I have a choice to make, but I’m so torn. Do I stay where I’m at or do I go with Kaden, with the man who’s showing me I still have a lot to live for...”
  • Rascal (Rascals Book 1) by Katie McCoy <— LIVE!! HE’S HER HOT LANDLORD ALERT!!! “...He’s also opening a bar with his buddies right below my apartment. Goodbye, peace and quiet, hello sleepless nights fantasizing about my hot new landlord… But when my stuffy workplace makes it clear I need a plus-one for our events, I have the perfect way to even the score. Emerson is A+ arm-candy… as long as I can resist taking a bite…”
  • King’s Wrath (Sydney Storm MC Book 5) by Nina Levine <— LIVE!!! NINA LEVINE’S LATEST BIKER ALERT! “Our love wasn’t like everyone else’s. There wasn’t a first date or flowers and gifts. We didn’t have a song or cute nicknames for each other. There were no calls during the day to check in with me, no coming home to cook me dinner, and no foot massages at the end of a long day. That wasn’t how he loved. But love me he did. Madly, deeply, passionately, completely. King loved with everything he had. He just loved a little differently to most….”
  • Trying It (Metropolis Book 4) by Riley Hart & Devon McCormack <— LIVE!! M/M ROMANCE ALERT!! “…Evan Lockhart has a hard time getting close to people. But the one guy he can always count on is his laid-back, adorable, beanie-wearing bestie, Frankie. Frankie is fiercely loyal and protective-exactly what Evan needs in his life right now. Evan tells him everything, but when he finds himself curious to explore something a little unusual-maybe a little strange-he worries about what will happen if Frankie finds out. But who better to explore your closet kink with than your best friend?“
  • Lyric (Rebel Book 1) by Molly McAdams <— IT’S LIVE!! THE LATEST BY ANGST-QUEEN, MOLLY MCADAMS is LIVE!! MAFIA PRINCESS? “…For as long as I can remember, he’s vowed that one day he would claim my wild, rebel heart. God knows I wanted him to try. I wanted the life he promised me in his lyrics. But his assurances couldn’t change the past, and the infamous mafia blood in my veins guarantees my heart can’t be claimed. Somewhere along the way, I slipped. I let myself believe we could have it all...”
  • Medley (Changing Lanes Book 2) by Layla Reyne <— M/M ROMANCE ALERT!!
  • Cheeky King (Royals Undercover Book 2) by Nana Malone
  • Bought (Ghost Riders MC Book 1) by Brook Wilder <— LIVE!! HE BOUGHT HER. “...I made a business on selling women, not falling for them. But when I saw her on the auction block. So fragile, so pure, so inexperienced. Something in me snapped. I destroyed her world when I bought her, but now I’m her road to salvation. The only problem is: Some other bastard thinks that Cassie belongs to him...”
  • Fools Rush In (Cartwright Brothers Book 2) by Lilliana Anderson <— LIVE!! OOOOOOH THE CONSEQUENCES!!! “…I was lonely.  But I was OK. Then I met Sam. Our eyes locked and BANG my heart started beating. As my blood warmed and pumped around my body, everything changed. Before that moment, I had been as dead inside as the stiffs I applied make-up to in the mortuary. Now I was alive, experiencing things for the first time, enamoured with a man I knew to be a criminal. Instead of running and remaining the good Catholic girl I was, I married him. Now I have to live with the consequences of that decision...”

Book Review – Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas

By 15 Comments

Birthday Girl
<— Another epic epilogue that pretty much completes this entire angst-fest. 😉 Oh the forbidden love of it all!!! Forbidden… but within socially “accepted” measures.

Just… still… plenty to be judged by (and TICK certain people off by). But it had all the butterflies, the *throw-your-kindle* moments, and OH MY THE STEEEEEEAM. HOT. HOT. HOT!!!!!!!!! *oooooof*

And yes. I did read ’em. How could I not? 😉

Julie O: I loved Birthday Girl. No billionaires, no recluses, no weirdos, just an average man. And because he was older thank God this wasn’t a “daddy” book. read more

Nicole Archer – Ad Agency Series Reading Order

By 3 Comments

COMEDY ROMANCE ALERT!! This one just hit my TBR-list radar when I received THESE adamant recommendations! P.S. Each one can be read as a standalone, although some characters from each book crossover. 😀

marina: I just need to rave about a gem of a book I finished called “Road-Tripped” by Nicole Archer. It is just SOOOOOOO GOOD!! So, totally funny, fresh, romantic, emotional… The banter is hilarious and witty and the adventures! I can’t review it right. It was one of those where I was squirreling around on my kindle trying to find something light. It must have been on my kindle for a year!?!?!?!? And, I must be late to the boat on this book and everyone has read it? But if not and you want an unputdownable, fun as all get out read. THIS IS IT!!!
It is definitely one of my faves of 2018 (even though it’s not from this year). Five stars. xoxo …this one has quite a lot of dirty language but if you’re okay with that, it’s really funny and witty.
Mona: I’m about 50% thru Road Tripped. It is laugh out loud hilarious! Where can I get a T-shirt for Intercourse, PA?? Reminds me of Uranus, MO and their infamous Uranus Fudge Factory!
Melissa:  Love this book and the others in the series and Author Nicole Archer!!!
marina: Head Tripped. Great too! This one focuses on the other’s twin sister.
LisafromDFW: I clicked Road Tripped! Sounds like fun and has great reviews. read more
