"Nanny's Black Babies for the Billionaire [BWWM] by Ciara Cole

My Thoughts....

This was a beautiful story of Gabby and Evan.  After being interviewed and hired for a nanny job for his son Milo by Evan was their be a attraction between these two?  After having to deal with an ex wife Nikki will Evan be able to see pass this attraction he had for Gabby?  What will happen as they both decide to see what this would lead to and let's not leave out the hot, spicy and steamy sex scenes.

Well, it will take a minute to see what was up with that ex as she did try to come between these two.
What I had wondered about was should Nikki have gotten off so easy as what she had done?  As you continue to read through this story you will find it is well written and yes, a little predictable as the author presents us a good story that showed that true love can win out in the end. 












Lady Guardians: Ride For Free by Hadley Raydeen


Profile:  

"My name is Kyanne Trent. I grew up around bikes my whole life, like it or not.
My parents are presidents of the Legion of Guardians and the Lady Guardians in Arlington Virginia. Their one vice is the rival 1% biker gang The Hellhounds. They can’t seem to shake that feud.
The president of ‘The Dogs’ is out of prison after a ten-year stint. The Guardians are the ones who put him there. After receiving the worst news of my life, I have no choice but to dust off my riding skills and climb back on the one thing I've been avoiding. My bike.
I will avenge this wrong by myself if I have to, but my best friend Zachary may have something to say about that.

I’m Zach Foster. I’m the Tail Gunner for the Legion of Guardians in Arlington Virginia. My best friend, Kyanne, is a handful and beyond stubborn. It’s her way or no way; she won’t listen to reason. But, she’ll forever have my heart. I just haven’t told her yet.
When tragedy befalls her family, I’m her shoulder to cry on and help her warm her sheets as a distraction. I’ll help provide comfort anyway I can; Kyanne can have whatever she wants. I’ll get her back on the bike, collecting dust in the garage again. I just have to make sure she doesn’t run off and do anything stupid to get back at The Hellhounds."

My Thoughts.....

I found "Lady Guardians: Ride For Free" a very unique read that brought Kyanne and Zach even more together. This was definitely a read of friendship to love. In addition to that we get a story of a very dysfunctional family that will truly will have one shaking there heads and saying what? All of this is due to secrets that will come out giving the reader quite a lot of twist and turns before we can get the answers and then we are left in with a cliffhanger to get the rest of the story.

"My Thoughts.....

I found Mr. Confidence a very interesting mystery urban erotic thriller with suspense that involved Mr. Don Juan Jackson who has recently gotten out of prison and has a main focus and that was getting to know his six year old daughter Trinity.  With the help of Don Juan's [hid childhood friend], Lex he becomes involved with new schemes that draw him  into the 'white collar crimes of identity and money theft' leaving the drug game alone.  With Don Juan's main objective is to get custody of his daughter but it seems like his BM has other plans that will certainly cause a lots of trouble before that can or will happen.  Will Don Jan be able to rebuild a relationship with his daughter and do all of this stuff with Lex and be able to stay out of prison. Well, all that is left to say is there will be a lots of twist and turns with revenge, with scheming and scams that will be presented in this well written depiction of this type of urban life.  The characters were well developed, portrayed where the reader will find many were spineless and thugs however, I did find Don Juan Jackson  was somewhat  'calm, cool, respectful, and rational but still a con man where he committed white collar crimes' and I would definitely say  by the end of the read he was definitely  'Mr. Confidence.'  

Be ready for a fast paced read that will keep your attention as you are turning the pages to see what is coming next in this quite interesting story.

"Sometimes being a psychic is murder.

Especially when you're one of the psychics on the killer's hit list.

While attending a funeral of a colleague, psychics Trudy Tucker and Levi Wolfe realize that this death is one of several "accidental demises" of clairvoyants in the small, quirky town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Trudy begins receiving visions from the murderer, putting her on the hunt to expose the killer. Levi, on the other hand, wants to be far, far away from the Ozark town, and his anxiety has little to do with the string of murders.
As the noose tightens around this band of psychics, Trudy and Levi are drawn into it, making themselves both the hunters and the hunted. It's a mind-bending game of cat and mouse, but which one is which?"

How to Love a Jamaican Stories by Alexia Arthurs


Book Description...

"“In these kaleidoscopic stories of Jamaica and its diaspora we hear many voices at once: some cultivated, some simple, some wickedly funny, some deeply melancholic. All of them shine.”—Zadie Smith

Tenderness and cruelty, loyalty and betrayal, ambition and regret—Alexia Arthurs navigates these tensions to extraordinary effect in her debut collection about Jamaican immigrants and their families back home. Sweeping from close-knit island communities to the streets of New York City and midwestern university towns, these eleven stories form a portrait of a nation, a people, and a way of life.

In “Light-Skinned Girls and Kelly Rowlands,” an NYU student befriends a fellow Jamaican whose privileged West Coast upbringing has blinded her to the hard realities of race. In “Mash Up Love,” a twin’s chance sighting of his estranged brother—the prodigal son of the family—stirs up unresolved feelings of resentment. In “Bad Behavior,” a couple leave their wild teenage daughter with her grandmother in Jamaica, hoping the old ways will straighten her out. In “Mermaid River,” a Jamaican teenage boy is reunited with his mother in New York after eight years apart. In “The Ghost of Jia Yi,” a recently murdered student haunts a despairing Jamaican athlete recruited to an Iowa college. And in “Shirley from a Small Place,” a world-famous pop star retreats to her mother’s big new house in Jamaica, which still holds the power to restore something vital."

Alexia Arthurs emerges in this vibrant, lyrical, intimate collection as one of fiction’s most dynamic and essential young authors.

I enjoyed reading how each story had a 'person of Jamaican descent with most of the story being of self discover, remembrance and moments of transcendence.'  I loved how the read made the reader be caught up in the 'everyday voices that dealt with just everyday life.  The reader will get a little bit of it all from such as ...'Who are these brothers and sisters, mothers, old loves and absent fathers?.'  Be ready for a read full of  not only 'tender but some heartbreaking stories' that will definitely leave you only wanting more of these collection of stories.

"Life After Death: A Romance Suspense" by T. J. Graham

My Thoughts....

I found this story to be very interesting in how a death can affect a person. For Mackenzie Hill after the death of her husband she was now raising three children and working as as journalist who had received a award who had been urged by her dear friend Joel Sanders to 'explore dating' and that was just what she did.

So, when Keith Wilson a sex crimes detective asks Mackenzie for a date all seemed to go well on the date until it didn't. Then due to Mackenzie's daughter [Traci] problems she meet Dr. Andre Quinton Lang. Not long after meeting the doctor and after one date all seemed to be going well for these two. However Dr. Lang had been through quite a bite as the 'unsolved murder of his wife and daughter' in Memphis, TN still plagued him since this had not been a solved case. Now we find him trying to move on now living in Atlanta. However, Dr. Lang was unaware that this killer had followed him to Atlanta. Mackenzie had shared all with Andre about her life but for some reason he did share all that had happened to his wife and daughter. Definitely secrets that are not shared as in this situation will definitely come back to bite you! Well, when things start to come out how will all of this vengeance shatter Mackenzie's world?

This author really does a good job at giving the reader quite a suspenseful romantic read that will keep you turning the pages till the end to see just who and why this person was definitely involved with Dr. Lang.

I will say that the epilogue wasn't my favorite ending because I didn't really like the detective as well as I liked the doctor. Yes, I know Andre had problems and definitely should have never stopped going to his therapist. However, I could see that this would definitely be one of those reads that would need a part two in seeing if there could ever be anything ever happening between Mackenzie and Andre as one can see that 'Life After Death' is not a easy road. Hopefully, Andre would seek therapy and get the help that he needed. I did feel that there was love that Andre did have for Mackenzie and her children. Yes, as I said earlier this wasn't my favorite ending, however the story was still interesting that will keep your attention as you are turning the pages to the end.

My Thoughts....

This was a beautifully well written short story on how Onyx Malone is trying to move on from a painful relationship that she had with Dillon Long and what will happened when she meets Egypt Anderson who was not only motorcycle rider but he was a CEO of his own construction company. The story was just a wonderful intriguing story of what can happen when one is not willing to take no for the answer. Sometime desperate things have to be done and in this case it was having to get a restraining order because this guy was truly a nut job and did not understand the word NO! The author did a wonderful job in presenting this story that will give the reader something to ponder over long after the read. As we find Onyx being introduced to riding on a motorcycle will she like it? In the end will this hero get this heroine get their HEA? Well, all that is left to be said is that you will have to pick up this good read to see just how this story will comes out in the end that will definitely bring out what is not love.

What I really enjoyed about this story was when Onyx addresses the judge on how she felt real love was.... from the quote...

"You honor, I appreciate the opportunity to address the court. There is one thing I know for sure, Love, real love doesn't look like this." ....

"Real love doesn't frighten you or force itself on you. Real love does luck in dark places or go bump in the night. Real love does not hurt. It is not pain, It is not hurtful, it is not fear, and it is not this. I don't love Dillon Long, I have no desire to have Dillon Long in my life anymore. I know that Dillon is not what love looks like."

As I said earlier this was a good read.
