Book Review – Badger by C. M. McKenna

By 15 Comments

Badger
WOW!!!! This one tore right through me and had me in pieces, rocking back and forth. I was… melancholy. *phew*!!! I need a hug. No… I need TO hug. I need to hug Badger. Adrian. Every single character in this book. My doggie, a stuffed teddybear. YOU. 😉

And yet I loved every single second of it. 5 stars without a doubt!

I saw this one a few weeks ago upon it’s release, and it sparked my immediate interest ’cause I realized C.M. McKenna was actually one of my most favorite authors in the world, Cara McKenna. I knew I was going to be in for some magnificent story telling. Unique blurb, strange-ish cover, and a new “pen name”? What was THIS going to be about? I had a feeling I was about to embark on an incredibly emotional journey. And if I was lucky? Maybe even a love story, even if it wasn’t listed as a “romance”. read more

The Seduction of Alex Parker by Sandi Lynn <— SHE’S A FREE SPIRIT RUNNING OUT OF MONEY and forced to come back home… “My money was running out and my brother, Adam, refused to send me more until we sat down and had a talk about me settling down in one place.

My name is Emerson James and this is my story. “
  2. Blood Dark (Blackthorn Dark Paranormal Romance Series Book 5) by Lindsay J. Pryor <— I KNOW MANY of you LOVE this paranormal series and were anxiously waiting this release. It’s live!!

IMPORTANT: Did you guys SEE Sunday’s “Suddenly Sunday Surprises!“?!!! <—- eek AND —-> Monday’s “More earlybird book releases” SERIOUSLY. The last 3 days have been INSANE with awesome book releases. It’s as if many of our favorite authors skipped this week’s usual “Tuesday” release day and came in a day or 2 early, so consider those two lists up there, a MAJOR part of TODAY’S list. Hey I’m fine with it. 3 days of awesome releases instead of just one? I’m on it!!! 😀 read more

Okay well… this second half of September is shaping up to be a MEGA book release phenomenon. Yeah. Did you guys SEE yesterday’s “Suddenly Sunday Surprises!“?!!! <—- eek I haven’t seen something that epic in months! Seriously… so many of our favorite authors had an early “surprise Sunday” release… I think it even surprised them! LOL!! 😀

And!!! Have you guys SEEN today’s releases? Have you guys SEEN tomorrow’s releases? Well not all of ’em. Y’all know there are at least 70 more to add, but I’ll deal with that tomorrow. *snort* (except I already read one of tomorrow’s releases and 5 starred it here: Book Review – Every Wrong Reason by Rachel Higginson) read more

Book Review – Every Wrong Reason by Rachel Higginson

Every Wrong Reason (<— releasing this TUESDAY Sept 22nd – TOMORROW!!! :D)
Ooooooofffffff!!! OH MY GOD I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard for a book before in my life (and this isn’t a “death” one, I promise). This is all about life, and living… or trying to.

Anyone that enjoyed “After I Do” will get me, with this one. It has that feel, but I’m almost tempted to say, even more intense at times. Or maybe it was just me? This week? ‘Cause I could NOT stop crying. In fact, I think the last time it’s been this bad, was when I read The Host a few years ago… like many years and tears ago (and if you read that review, you’ll know how bad I was…). read more

Bink Cummings – MC Chronicles: The Diary of Bink Cummings Series Reading Order

By 5 Comments

Whoa!! I think we’ve just found us a new Biker series (and I know a few have been asking for something new in this genre). This one may be a bit older (#1 was published last year) but there are 3 books out now, and it’s totally making some of our fellow MC readers *squeeeee*!!! PLUS PLUS!!!!! It’s a true story (well… sorta… ) AND it’s got a forbidden love aspect to it. Oooooooooh sounds gritty and raw and exactly like what we love to read!

Jen: Maryse- you need to check out The Diary of Bink Cummings. Could not put it down …one of my fav MC books of all time!! read more
