Awaken the Darkness by Dianne Duvall (Immortal Guardians #8) Paranormal Romance July 10, 2018 Self Published Blurb:  He awakens encapsulated in dirt with no knowledge of how he came to be there. Riddled with injuries, he can remember neither his past nor who he is. Nor can he remember what he is. But surely no mortal man could survive being buried deep beneath the earth. All he knows with certainty is that the soothing voice and presence of the woman moving around above enables him to Continue Reading

Happy Day after July 4th! Holidays are great, aren’t they? But not in the middle of the week? All holidays that fall on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday should AUTOMATICALLY be observed on a Monday or Friday.  I mean, seriously--how can you truly enjoy a holiday that falls on a Wednesday? Other than not having to wake up early or drive in morning traffic, a Wednesday holiday cannot be enjoyed fully. Just sayin’....... I have recently rediscovered my love of romantic suspense and Continue Reading

Coming up in July! I didn’t have a new release read for this week, so let’s take a look at what I’m reading in July! In June I read a romantic suspense/mystery book, a genre that I hadn’t read in a long time, even though I used to read them all the time. I really enjoyed it.  I forgot how much fun it is to get into the nitty-gritty details of the story and try to read between the lines for clues to figure out what happened or who the bad guy was. So first up is a Mystery/Thriller by a new Continue Reading

Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts You know when you read a blurb for a new book and it sounds interesting? Maybe it has an interesting premise--something different from the books you’ve previously read. It might be a new author you haven’t read before, but you’re hopeful that you’ll luck out and find another author you’ll love and can obsess over and anxiously wait for the next book?? Well that didn’t happen to me this week.  I chose two books recently that I thought were kind of out there, and I Continue Reading

Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts – Believe The Kiss Quotient Hype!

June 7, 2018 by Helyce 3 Comments

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang Contemporary Romance Release date: June 5, 2018 There is a lot of buzz around the release of The Kiss Quotient and in my opinion, it’s well deserved.  I was so excited to have the opportunity to read an early copy of this very much-anticipated debut novel by Helen Hoang.  I flew through the first read and then picked it up again a few weeks later to read slower and absorb it. I struggle with reviews for books I love. I worry about saying too much, so I Continue Reading

Sin and Tonic by Rhys Ford (Sinners #6 - series finale) MM Romance May 15, 2018 Dreamspinner Press I have had a soft spot for Miki St. John from the beginning of this series. One of the most tragic and angst ridden characters I’ve read to date, this poor kid, found wandering in an alley at the age of 3, placed in the foster system for a time, somehow gets placed with a guy at the age of 12 who sexually abuses him and also prostitutes him out to other men. He survives years of this abuse Continue Reading

Review: A Rancher’s Song by Vivian Arend

May 16, 2018 by Helyce Leave a Comment

A Rancher’s Song by Vivian Arend (Heart Falls #2) Contemporary Romance Released: May 15, 2018 Self Published Review by Helyce I was really excited to read Walker’s story after the teasers shared in book #1. I’d kind of imagined his story in my head because I knew that it had something to do with his music. I thought it would have been interesting to see how a guy from a ranching family, who also participated in rodeo events, would handle it if he found himself discovered and was offered Continue Reading

Review: Melt For You by J.T. Geissinger

May 15, 2018 by Helyce 6 Comments

Melt For You by J.T. Geissinger (Slow Burn #2) Contemporary Romance May 15, 2018 Montlake Romance Reviewed by Helyce Favorite quote: “My sexual dry spell has been going on so long it’s less of a drought and more of a biblical pestilence.” I simply loved this book. In my opinion, Joellen is an awesome representation of so many women.  I could relate to her and remember suffering from similar self-confidence issues in my younger years. Joellen has worked at the same company for ten Continue Reading
