Review for A Little Bit Wicked by Melissa Foster with a Giveaway

A captivatingly funny and deeply emotional new standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. When the Dark Knights at Bayside and the cast of Bayside Summers collide, sparks fly, and trouble—or maybe love—is not far behind.

Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven’t met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. Their stories are told in the same loving, passionate voice readers have come to adore from Melissa. Some of the Wickeds’ love stories will be hilariously fun, others will tear at your heartstrings with injections of humor, but they will all leave you wishing you could climb between the pages and join them!

In A LITTLE BIT WICKED… 
What do a cocky biker and a businesswoman who has sworn off dating bad boys have in common? According to Chloe Mallery, not much.

Justin came into the Wicked family after a harsh upbringing by a thieving father. He’s gone through a lot to become a true Wicked, and he’s made them proud. Now he’s ready to show the woman he loves exactly what type of man he is. But Chloe Mallery has worked hard to move past her difficult upbringing, and she’s wary of getting involved with a man who looks like he’s walked right out of it. When tragedy strikes, will their trying pasts draw them together, or will Justin’s protective nature be too much for Chloe’s independent heart to accept?

**CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+**

The Wicked’s start a new family but they are not new to the Love in Bloom Series.   They have made appearances in other books and are now getting the HEA’s they deserve.  I am thrilled that Melissa started with Justin.   He has been sniffing around Chloe since the first time the reader was introduced to him and it was time for him to stop sniffing and get to action.  

I loved how much these two connected.   It was not just physical.   There were conversations, discussions about life, and fun outside of the bedroom.   Now, I have to say that the heat in the bedroom was out of this world and I expected it to be.   A Black Knight and the “Uptown Girl” must be explosive when they come together.  

 Of course, I have to mention the friendships.    The girls have Chloe’s back, but they also know when they have to give her gentle shoves in the direction of the only man for her.    The Wicked brothers will protect each other no matter what but they also understand that sometimes a man needs a little help getting out of his own way.  

 Whether A Little Bit Wicked in where you start reading Melissa Foster or you have been a fan for a while, the Wicked family is one that you will want more of.

Exclusive Excerpt:

   He was a mountain; she could think of no other way to describe him. His brown hair was cut in a perfect fade, wavy on top and extremely short on the sides, showing a little silver at the temples, which made it hard to pinpoint his age. Definitely over thirty, she’d guess. His brow was strong and shadowed his eyes, but his shoulders took her breath away. They were so wide he couldn’t have fit through the car window if he tried. His mouth was straight and stern, although his demeanor was friendly. It set off no alarm bells, and she completely trusted her instincts when it came to threats. Her brain was weird like that. It existed in a state of calm, and the one time she’d been in a dangerous situation, it had jumped into action. It had analyzed the situation, calculating the best move to safety, resulting in her dragging a screaming Jenn away from the knife fight that had broken out in Jenn’s favorite club. This last week of money problems had introduced her brain to a new state: stress. It could be the only rational explanation as to why the sight of this man had put her on edge. Not stress, exactly. Or any danger. More like a low hum of tension. Twice, she’d had to keep her hands still when they’d wanted to tuck a stray hair behind her ear or adjust her glasses. And now he was speaking, and she had no idea what he just said. “I’m sorry—what was that?” she asked, covering her embarrassment with a brisk tone. He held his very large palm out, hovering it over her door, and said, “I’m going to need Trevor’s card back first.” “Oh. Of course.” She dug into her raincoat pocket and pulled out the metal card, placing it in his hand. His fingers closed over it, hiding it completely from view. “How did you know I had it? Does it have a sensor in it?” “I think I can help with your request,” he said, ignoring her question. “But I have to advise you that you’re on private property, and that covers all information you learn or hear. This is a type of verbal NDA. Can I get your agreement on that?” Her pulse skipped at the words “I can help,” her imagination running away with all the ways he could help her get an escort job. She conjured her grandmother’s face telling her to Prekrati eto, or knock it off. It worked. “I understand and I agree,” she said. She looked to the house, a Spanish-style mansion, and back to the man, wondering what would happen next.  

About the Author:

Lenore Ashwood is a steamy contemporary romance author who believes if you’re not squirming in your seat, she’s not doing her job. She lives in the U.S. but considers herself a global citizen. She believes in sex positivity, human kindness, and the kind of girl power the Spice Girls sing about. Lenore is best known for her wildly innovative Cavendish Club series, featuring stories of the ultra-affluent who seek unusual services at an elite escort agency. But Cavendish Club is different—it combines science and technology to create experiences guaranteed to more than satisfy their billionaire clientele and the consultants they “engage” with.

Review for Red Canvas by Andrew Nance

Red Canvas  by   Andrew Nance 

Published May 4th 2020 by Red Adept

In the seaside city of San Marco, Florida, private investigator Lise Norwood spends her days serving papers and her nights spying on cheating spouses. An odd career choice for a woman who studied art history while a student at San Marco University. When local police ask her to consult on a murder case in which the victim was posed to resemble a classic Greek sculpture, Lise dusts off her art history degree and joins the task force.

As the artistic madman known as Michelangelo continues to use the bodies of his victims to copy more works of art, Lise starts her own investigation into the gruesome killings. Homicide detectives accuse her of overstepping her role as consultant and she’s fired from the case, which only spurs her to dig deeper. Her inquiries take an ugly and personal turn when she learns that Michelangelo has chosen her to be his next bloody masterpiece. 

 

A man who is killing woman and posing them after works of art is targeting Lise.  As Lise helps the police in their investigation, she cannot help but think that Michelangelo might be someone she knows.    I really enjoyed figuring out how her brain was working.   She took clues, made them make sense, and was able to put together a who-dun-it.   She was not always right, but her reasoning made sense and she stayed true to who she thought Michelangelo was until it was proven she was wrong.     Lise had knowledge, skills, and the ability to think outside the box.  

 

I loved seeing how the case would unfold and how the clues all came together.   Andrew Nance did an amazing job of telling a story that stayed true to police work, kept the clues coming while not giving away the who-dun-it, and keeping the storyline intriguing.    I felt that the characters were realistic and easy to like.  The storyline moved quick enough to keep my interested but gave enough detail that I was able to make my own guesses that were not always right but were not way off course either.    

 

** Thank you Red Adept Publishing for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Audiobook Review for Roses & Champagne Kisses by Stacy Eaton

Roses & Champagne Kisses

Heart of the Family, Book 2

By: Stacy Eaton

Narrated by: Lisa Beacom

Series: Heart of the Family, Book 2

Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins

Unabridged Audiobook

Release date: 05-12-20

Language: English

Publisher: Nitewolf Novels

 

Publisher's Summary

Finley Parker loves working in catering but hates her boss and her life in Middletown. When Robin Landry steals her away to work for Heart of the Family Catering in Cricklewood Cove, Finley is ready to cook up a new life. 

An accident in the kitchen finds Robin laid up and Finley must take over the planning of a wedding for a nightmare bride. It doesn't help that sitting beside the spoiled woman is a tempting and tasty morsel of a man.

Roan Waterman is ready to take on life again after six years of mourning his wife. With his son about to head to college, Roan is looking for a woman to build a new life and his eyes are set on Finley. 

Misunderstandings, overheard secrets, and a major surprise from Finley's past will keep these two on their toes as they prepare for the upcoming wedding. 

 

 

Audiobook Review…I usually listen to books that I have read before so that I am familiar with the story.   I have not read Roses & Champagne so this was a new-to-me story.   Lisa Beacom did an amazing job of telling Stacy Eaton’s story and making it come alive as I listened.  

eBook Review…Love, friendships, new opportunities are some of the amazing storylines woven together to make one amazing book.  Abuse, death, and cheating are also found within the story but they are written in with care and respect.    The difficult topics make good things even more wonderful.   

Finley is a tough character.   She is all woman but she doesn’t need a man.   She does not even want a man but she has one.   She has Roan, whether she wants him or not.    Roan, he is all man.  Tough, sexy, protective, and alpha.   When life gets complicated for Finley, Roan steps in to keep her safe and of course falls in love with her.   I loved this.   They both needed someone in their lives who would respect and love them for who they were.  Both Finely and Roan had pasts that were holding them back and they needed to be able to get past that to find their HEA.    Together they showed that anything was possible and that all they needed was a good person in their life to make their world better.

Sales Blitz for On a Silent Night by S.L. Sterling

Title: On a Silent Night

Author: S.L. Sterling

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: November 6, 2018

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart...

Brody:

Five years ago, I lost my best friend. The last words he ever spoke to me were a plea to look out for his wife. I never meant to fall in love with her. I even ran from my feelings. Not that it did any good. Three years later, I still can't get her out of my mind. Now, I’m going to try to win her back.

Hopefully, I’m not on Santa’s naughty list because it will take a Christmas miracle to win her back.

Cass:

After Jackson died, I didn’t expect to find love again. Still, things with Brody just felt... right. Which made it that much more confusing when he left with no explanation. Since then, I’ve worked on rebuilding my life. I started fresh in a new town, and even have a new man in my life. All of which complicates things when Brody shows up in search of a second chance.

Hang the mistletoe and string the lights, he’s going to need more than a jolly ole elf for me to consider re-gifting him my heart.

From USA Today’s Bestselling author S.L. Sterling comes this heartfelt holiday second chance romance you do not want to miss.

S.L. Sterling was born and raised in southern Ontario. She now lives in Northern Ontario Canada and is married to her best friend and soul mate and their two dogs.
