Review:

"Sharing Hailey" by Samantha Ann King was  good erotic menage romantic read.  I will say that I had looked at the title and book's cover several times wondering about this read and I will say I am glad I chose to read it.  This author did a  wonderful job telling a good story along with the hot sex scenes. "Sharing Hailey" is erotic adult read. Ms.King was able to blend this menage into a story that lead us into domestic abuse in this thrilling suspenseful read.  The novel presented some well defined believable characters.. from Hailey, Mark, Tony, Daniel, Nikki, Jake Meredith, Landon and to  Beth  ...naming a few.  Be ready for a storyline that will involve much conflict, romance, love, family, and yes,  hot sex.  Ms King's title tells part of the story but there was so much more involved in this well written novel.  What starts off as a breakup... on to a vacation in Hawaii...well....this is where I say you must pick up "Sharing Hailey" to see what all is shared and by who.  There is a lot that goes on in this read, some of it will not be all good I think this author did a good job that will capture
and keep your attention.

If you are looking for a sweet, sexy menage story  with a interesting
storyline ... I  would recommend "Sharing Hailey" to you. This is a adult read!

Rating: 5

Review:

"Unconditional" by Marie Everson was a wonderful well written novel that was
a pure delight to read.  Samantha and Billy Crawford were married and now he had been murdered.  After three years Sam still hasn't come to terms about her husbands' murder.  It was truly fate how these two people who had been friends
as children...now adults reconnect(Sam and Joe)with one goal and that was to help others.  Just how the lives of these two people crossed at such a critical time.. just who will save who?

This novel will deals with death, depression, chronic illness, and most of all
saving the children.... only leaving you with a powerful message that will stay
with you a long time after your read.  The way this author is able to hold your
attention as she crafts through and simply draws you in was really dramatic read.  It was truly a  novel that I found myself  laughing and even cried as this moving story progressed.

Will this writer be able to write again after the death of her husband?  When her
husband died Sam  thought that her world had stopped...ready to give up ...but, through knowing and seeing how God will bring you through this ..she could and would  make it. How?  This is where I say you must pick up "Unconditional" to find out just how this story will turn out. 


"Unconditional" is definitely a novel that will make you think and even appreciate what all is evolved in making a difference in the journey of life. I found this novel  very intriguing from the start till the end and I would recommend "Unconditional" as a excellent read.

Wicked and Wonderful

Review:


"Wicked and Wonderful" by Valerie King was a sweet wonderful love story. From
the title I thought it would have been a little more wicked but it was still good
read. The novel was of a women who had left her noble family to become a 'songstress with a group of traveling actors.'  What had brought Judith to this way of life? This traveling troups of performers ended up on Lord Kelthorne where he meets up with Judith in the apple orchard and the story take off.  Would there be a instant attraction for Judith and Lord Kelthorne? These two main characters will provide entertainment as you met up with the secondary characters that provide even more.  I will say that in order to understand this novel you must pick it up and read it to really get a  full understanding of just what this "Wicked and Wonderful" is all about. 

I found "Wicked and Wonderful"  a very nice sweet love romance and yes I would recommend this one to you.
