This was a well written contemporary romance story about Mason and Nicole with some very captivating characters who are well developed, deep and complexed that will keep your attention.  I found this read a very riveting intensive read with such a interesting storyline. Basically what is this story about or better still let's get 
this question answered ...  What will happen when Mason [the adopted brother] has strong feelings for his sister [Nicole] where he becomes her protector, best friend and even more?'   Well, to find out all of this and more you will have to pick up 'Torn' to find out.  

Be ready for a story that will have a little bit of it all from 'mental and physical abuse, obsession, emotional rollercoaster ride, lust, love, intense, drama-filled, angsty, sadness, steamy hot love scenes [dark & raw] and so much more.'  This author really touches on as subject that is somewhat was 'scary, however this is one true topic that is very much alive and definitely happens in our world.

"Persuasion" by J. L. Campbell

My Thoughts...

I loved this sweet romantic coming of age story that dealt with Yolanda and Gary.  It was quite interesting seeing these  two opposites come together in a very dramatic read.  Yolanda was definitely a stand your ground, sweet personality, with family issues [mistrust] while knowing what she wanted in her life  and while  Gary was one who could be sweet but quite moody [mean] also especially when it came to his 'internal struggles he had with his relationship with his father. As I read through this story I was able to better understand just why Gary acted the way he did as we find out why he had such anger issues. What will happen when the truths that had been held from Gary as a child are now revealed? By the end of this story will  Gary and Yolanda be able to survive each other's misgivings as they try for a 'Persuasion' relationship?  Who will be the one who did most of the persuasion? This novel is the third in this series in 'Sisters-in-Love  and I loved how this author was able to catch the reader up with previous characters that added so much to the story.  Even though this is a standalone read I would recommend that you read the entire series [Book 1 & 2 -Natasha's and Kelleigh's stories] to better understand a little more of what has gone on earlier in  this series.

Kelleigh's world shifts when she sends nerd-boy a racy picture meant for Josh. Her tutor grabs the opportunity to blackmail her into two dates. In exchange, he promises not to share the photo she sent him in error.

Backed into a corner, Kelleigh goes out with Joshua intending to set him straight. But things don't go exactly as she plans and to complicate matters, Josh has secrets of his own that make Kelleigh second guess their relationship.

"Fixation" by J. L. Campbell

My Thoughts....

This was a interesting twist if a story with a college student Kelleigh who had interest in a a performing artist and her math tutor at the same time.   How did all of this start? Well when Kelleigh sent a text by mistake to the wrong Josh that is what stated all of this drama!   See, her boyfriend the musician was named Josh and Joshua was her tutor.  The plot of the story will tend to keep your interest due to the fact you will find yourself caught up in just what was going on in Kelleigh's head that particular day tie of the day.  I will say Kelleigh rather got on my nerves with all of the drama she got herself into especially when she didn't seem to want to listen to anyone who was giving her some sound advice about her life from her parents, sister and best friend. I guess for some they will have to almost go down with the ship before they need saving as it seemed for poor Kelleigh.  I was able to see by the end of the read which way the author was bringing it all to the reader that really helped in better understand the reasoning that this story was presented to the reader.  I loved the setting of this story being in Jamaica and the characters for the most part were all well developed, portrayed and even believable giving this read four stars from a very 'exhausted' 😌but yet a interesting read.  Now to find out how it all comes together  sit back and get ready to read  'Fixation' where it all begins and see if it will be all fixed by the end of this coming of age story.

I guess Katy Marks who was a lawyer never new that from a kiss coming out of her uncle's gym place would get her involved with Rafe Walker who was a hot MMA fighter and also a Dom.  However, we find that Katy had other troubles and that was being stalked but by who? Was this someone from her past?  This author really presents a interesting plot where the reader will find out a lots about BDSM life where the characters are well developed, strong, smart individuals that live everyday life's.  Yes, this author really knows how to give the reader quite a image of foreplay that will keep you turning the pages.  So, if you are not into this BDSM then this read may not be for you. There will be a suspense to just who is stalking Kate and how well she seems to enjoy coming out of her shell to this new way of life with Rafe and definitely enjoying having him as her bodyguard.   By the end of this story I really enjoyed the interesting synopsis of the story.

I enjoyed this romantic story of Christian and Foreign.  It was quite a delight seeing how far Christian would go in order to make his feeling known to Foreign.  Definitely Foreign had been through quite a bit in her life and a lots of it was due to the fact that there wasn't enough communication between Foreign and her parents which really brought on a lots of problems for her.  However, in the end with Foreign finally realizing that she loved Christian and I will stop here and say you will have to get the rest of the story by pick up 'Undone By Lust' to see how well this author brings us quite a good read to see if these two will finally have a HEA  I also will say that I loved the comedy parts that were entered into the read with that Tommy Owen character who was the owner of the restaurant. Oh, I don't want to miss saying to the readers that there is a 'Bonus Story Included at the end of 'Undone By Lust' that is a hoot of a read that will involve Tommy and a few other characters!

"Hank" by Kadance Royal

This was a good read of how one finds love for the second time around.  Hank Simpson had loved Jasmine Reed but it seems like that wasn't enough because this love wasn't 'open for the world to see.' In other words this love was kept on the down low.  Now why was that?  It seems like Jasmine's father wanted to her to be with someone else...definitely not a janitor but a doctor. So, after Jasmine marriages Mark and doesn't work out she returns home after three years getting a job at the Indiana University as the new Humanities Department Director and finds out that Hank was working at the University while presuming he was the head janitor as he had been at the other school where they had worked earlier at.

This author will bring us a read that will keep your attention because there will be a lots going on.  Hank and Jasmine met to help her get her office in order and they talked about what has gone on with her previously in her life. Hank was surprised to learn she still had feelings for him.  Then there  is a incident where someone was in the building with a gun and it goes off and who is accidentally shot? From that situation these two will come together and talk and find out their true feelings for each other and where will this lead them?  Hank puts it all out there and tells Jasmine of a person he had been seeing [April] a real nut case and was going to definitely break it off.  However, this person wouldn't take no for a answer and problems did become quite a horrible situation that will not end well. Sorry I shouldn't told you that!

In the meantime what will happen as these two [Hank & Jasmine] come together and continuing to talk.  Jasmine speaks with her parents and let them know what her true feelings are for Mr. Henry Aaron Robinson Simpson.  I really loved that part especially what Jasmine's mom asked her about Hank's personal parts!

What will happen when Jasmine finds out that Hank isn't a janitor and so much more.  I loved the secondary characters especially Hank's best friend Duane and Annette in how they helped to make the story flow so very well helping to give the readers a good romance read.

By the end will these two get their HEA?  Well, to find out  that out and so much more you will have to pick up "Hank" to see just how well this author presents it all so well to the reader.

Thank you to the author for letting me read your novel and giving my honest opinion.

"Daisy Jones" by Mack Mama

My Thoughts....

What a read with such a surprise tragic ending to 'Daisy Jones!'  This was definitely one of those stories that will keep your attention turning the pages to see what is coming next for Daisy.  I am not sure just who I felt more sorrier for ...Daisy or her mother that taught her to be such a "gold digger who used men for material possessions and wealth."  It is so hard to think that a mother would train her daughter to 'suppress her emotions and rely on calculation and trickery...that in the end which ultimately destroyed Daisy.  The story is very on point to what has happened to many young ladies today who have been caught up in the 'fantasy of the glamorous hustling life style' that will have you believe all kinds of stuff that in the end well the only thing that is left is down fall as it was for Daisy...drugs.  All that is left to say is poor Daisy who was only sixteen was young, very naive and was lead to feel like her assets of what she had going on in order to succeed was the only way however in the end it got her caught up in a mess where there was no way back. All of this only proves is that this is what can happen when there is no proper guidance as it was for Daisy.     

Now, for the rest of these characters in the read I will say they were for the most part well developed, portrayed and believable giving the story quite a captivating read.  I will also say that a lots of the secondary characters did get their karma in one way or another by the end of the read.  'Daisy Jones' was a excellent read that I will say will teach one a lesson only if you are willing to accept it.  Would I recommend this novel?  YES!

What a read about a divorce lawyer who takes his job to some 'unthinkable heights.' We find that is story was actually based on a true real case...YES, this actually happened!

I found this read not only a mystery thriller but also a psychological thriller that shows how sexual harassment can invade all kinds of employees of all jobs  I was somewhat surprised at how much a person was taken advantage of by a lawyer where they will use their bodies as payment for work that many times hadn't been done. What a read that this one turns out to be.  Its the story of 'one divorce lawyer from the California area who abused his position and female clients for his own gratification.' "He tries flattery first, then when they run out of money he uses their fear and ignorance of the law to scare them into giving in to his depraved sex life."  We also find he also set up a guy for murderer too, a borderline rapist and a coward!  

This is definitely one of those reads that will keep you turning the pages until the end and then still leaving you shaking your head and saying Wow!  This is one read that will make you think of just what is going on in  TODAY's world!
