"Catchin' Feelings For A Married Man 2 by LaQuita Cameron

What I liked about this novel..


This was another continuance that was full of another dramatic emotional  ride.  These characters are still all quite a interesting bunch that are full of lies and more lies.  Who in the world can be trusted ...Kara, Jazz, Zen, Damon. Jennifer, or Vicky?   I would definitely suggest you read this authors first book 1 because if you don't you will find yourself wondering what in the world has gone on to cause all of this.  So, if you are looking for more drama, lies, deceit, secrets and twist and turns the reader is at the right place because this read will give it to you and more. By the end of this novel the reader is left wondering just who is playing who?   Hopefully in Book 3 we will get the rest of this story.

"Lady Bang:  A Knock Out Story" by Kierra Petty

What I liked about this novel...

This author  gives the reader quite a story that is short but to the point.  This was my first read of anything like this...a woman boxer?  But it all made sense of how this all started up with  Emmy's boxing career and this becoming her real job after her nursing career fell through.  I did find a lot of the read somewhat predictable, as it all seemed to be going well for Emmy until she meets this certain person that she couldn't say no to and this did cause her life to spiral to a very dark place.  I felt a little sorry for her in that Emmy felt that she had no one to talk too.

Now, we will be left to see if Emmy will be able to pick up the pieces of her life in the next  part of this read. Wow, what a state to be left in abused and....  Hopefully in this second part we will see a new Emmy where she will value herself more than being with a certain person. Well, this is where I say you will have to pick up the read to see for yourself how well this author will bring it all out to the reader. Hopefully this bad person in Emmy's life  will get exactly  what he deserves in the end.  However, we the reader will be left wondering what will happen to Emmy's boxing career in the state she will be left in?  I guess we will find out in part 2.

"Read the Warning Label First" by BM Hardin

What I liked about this novel...

First of all I enjoyed how this author was able to give us a story that  fitted the title so well.
For dear Tori it seems like she has it all planned on the way her life should go...1-2-3... but what will happen we there enters some twist and turns with some very strange characters?  Now will it be  ...a friend, a lover, and even a sister who will bring on some havoc into Tori's life?   It was so good to see that Tori didn't let this take her down being so determined.  I loved how Tori's mom tired  to help her come out of this dark place by telling her not to running away with her words of encouragement. Now, will Tori be willing to listen and take it all in  after all is said and done?  Be ready for a story full of 'lies and deceit.'   Well....  I will stop here because I don't want to give too much away other than say that this author really knows how to  give the reader quite a interesting love story that will keep you turning the pages. One thing that is for sure one may be down for a minute but you can also still rise from it all and good things can happen for you. I loved that ending and I thought that "Read The Warning Label First" was beautifully written and will give you cause to think on this storyline line after the read.  The plot and deliverance was well done by the author.  The ending seemed a little rushed however, the story still came together very well and omg... I am still caught up with that ending. Very well done by the author.

"Trust and Dinero" by Alexis Nicole

What I liked about this novel....

This was definitely one of those reads that will keep your attention because it seems like every chapter  will take you on quite a journey in the life of this  character ...Trust Dinero Mendoza. Trust was one of those people that had it all but really did he?  Being brought up in quite a life filled with some horrible times but after Trust receives money from his father that was a life change for him.  Now Trust  had the good life but will this last due to the deal that goes sour and  all of a sudden "Things quickly take a turn for the worst."  Why and who presented  this situation?  I found for the most part all the characters were well developed, challenging, engaging...may be not too believable though due to the fact it seemed everyone seemed to turn weird and very strange.  Toward the end of this read the reader will be left wandering what in the world is going on!   This was definitely one of those reads that was filled "with lust, deceit, greed and oh yes quite a jaw-dropping ending" that will leave you saying 'what in the world is going on!   To fully understand "Trust and Dinero" you must pick up this novel to see the who, where, how  and the what of it all.  It will be a interesting  journey through Trust's life up to this point.  Hopefully answers will be answered to what has happened to Harmonee, Trust's Mami, Alejandra, his crazy wife, Promise, Star, Anthony, Victor Ramirez and Jahdi. What was this big secret that it seemed that only Star knows about?    By the end of this read I was left saying  'Who can be Trusted' and I agree that by the end of this read this was a 'emotional, mind-blowing ride!'

Description....

"The New York Times bestselling author of A Long Time Gone now explores a Southern family’s buried history, which will change the life of the woman who unearths it, secret by shattering secret.

It has been two years since the death of Merritt Heyward’s husband, Cal, when she receives unexpected news—Cal’s family home in Beaufort, South Carolina, bequeathed by Cal’s reclusive grandmother, now belongs to Merritt.

Charting the course of an uncertain life—and feeling guilt from her husband’s tragic death—Merritt travels from her home in Maine to Beaufort, where the secrets of Cal’s unspoken-of past reside among the pluff mud and jasmine of the ancestral Heyward home on the Bluff. This unknown legacy, now Merritt’s, will change and define her as she navigates her new life—a new life complicated by the arrival of her too young stepmother and ten-year-old half-brother.

Soon, in this house of strangers, Merritt is forced into unraveling the Heyward family past as she faces her own fears and finds the healing she needs in the salt air of the Low Country."

What I liked about this novel....

The author present a good well written contemporary story of Merritt's life... where we find her mom dad, grandmother and now even her husband all dead.    Now, it looks like life is over for Merritt but it seems like this story isn't quite over getting a notice that she has inherited her late husband's  home she moves from Maine to South Carolina. Will returning to her late husband's home place give Merritt  any closure from this move?  What happens when Merritt's 10 year old brother arrives with his mom... her step mother at her now new place?  Will she get the solace that she needed?  Why is all of this so very strange as the story comes out?  This author gives the reader a story in two parts and this is done so very well where you really get some very complex characters that will keep you captivated in a read where you will find hard to put down with there being some real problems that will come up.  Also the description of this southeastern area like those real hot summer days, lush gardens, rivers, sandbar and those sea glass wind chimes were simply well described  for the reader especially bringing  out even to the fear that Merritt had.   Be ready for a good story as the mystery and some long buried secrets start to unravel in this twisted story.  It was quite interesting read as the story as comes to an end and Merritt starts her own journal on her new journey with the Cecelia Gibbes Hayword Women's Shelter and maybe with a new love.  In the end this was a very good told story that I would recommend as simply that ...a good read.

"Sharp Shootin' Cowboy" by Victoria Vane

What I liked about this novel.....

This novel was this author's third one in her 'Hot Cowboy Nights' series and I found it a interesting one dealing with a Marine Sniper and a Wildlife Biologist.  This author did her research on this read providing and giving the reader some real issues that were dealt with for this hero and heroine ... Reid and Haley.  Putting these two characters together was a work of art with them being so very different.  I liked how this author was able to given us a story that will go on for many years where they will come back into contact again with each other.   One thing is for certain they didn't hold anything back...as it seemed as they hardly ever agreed on any thing.  Why was this?  Why was it so hard for this heroine to trust anyone?    I found all of the characters were well developed, well portrayed and believable for the most part.  I will say that the heroine got on my nerves at times with all of her distrust of Reid however, I did understand that she definitely had determination and commitment.  In the end will this get Haley where she wants to be?  To find out you have to pick up "Sharp Shootin' Cowboy" to see how this author will bring it all out to the reader.  It was be a interesting  compromising journey.
