I really enjoyed Sun & Moon by Lee Strauss, a new adult
contemporary romance novel. The reader
is introduced to Micah and Katja. They both had traveled different paths in
life, but they both had developed insecurities as a result of their pasts. I
guess you can say their differences were like the sun and the moon, but they
seemed to complement each other so well.
At
first I thought that the story seemed oversimplified, but as the story went on
I really started to understand each of the characters perspectives. It was nice that some of the supporting
characters encouraged Katja to have faith as she worked through some of her
issues. And although I grew to love some of the characters, there was a balance
between the characters that you grow to love and those that you love to hate—especially
his mom Frau Sturm (Mrs. Storm). Can you only imagine her personality from that
name? She was just full of underhanded
schemes. In the past, Katja was abused and
I appreciate the fact that the descriptions weren't overly graphic and the
behavior wasn't romanticized. I liked the fact that the Hero and heroine
experienced growth as a result of their past experiences. Experiences that resulted in Katja being
presented as a strong Heroine who could hold her own, and refused to settle for
second best.
As
for their relationship, it was a little more complex than usual and it wasn't solely based on looks or lust. And I just couldn't figure out if their families
or insecurities would prevent them from being together.
There
was a mystery surrounding the disappearance of Micah’s ex-girlfriend
Greta. And Micah’s behavior was so bizarre in the beginning that I started
thinking that Katja needed to just run as fast as she could especially with
that mysterious locked door. About 3/4
of the way through the story I just knew that I had it all figured out, but was
shocked to find out what really happened towards the end.
Rating 5/5
I received a copy of Sun and Moon from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you.

Release Day Launch, Excerpt and Giveaway: All the Pretty Poses by M. Leighton
 
He
never wanted to be a hero…until she needed him to be.
Strength…
It
took Kennedy Moore years to put her life back together after Reese Spencer
shattered it. But she did. Now, years later, strong and
independent, she is in pursuit of a single dream—to dance with the Altman
American Dance Theater. Unfortunately, Kennedy is learning that a girl
from nowhere with no money and no contacts might never be able to reach her
goal.
That
is, until Reese reappears, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that
Kennedy just can’t refuse. In exchange for working on his yacht for a
few short weeks, he’ll get her an audition with the famous dance
troupe. All Kennedy has to do is keep her head down, work hard and
resist Reese. That sounds easy enough, right?
Weakness…
Reese
doesn’t want to make it easy for Kennedy. Seeing her
again has started a fire in his blood—an unwelcome one. It took him
years to forget about her before, so this time he has a plan. It’s
simple: Get Kennedy on his yacht, seduce her, get her out of his
system, move on with his life. That sounds easy enough, right?
But
the one thing Reese didn’t plan for was Kennedy herself—a
girl so strong yet so broken, she makes him want to rescue her, to take care
of her. To save her. Even if he has to save her from himself.

Songs for the Road by Farrah Taylor
A rock star. The nanny. A love that
could rock their world.
The only thing rock star Marcus Troy
loves more than making music is his kids. So finding just the right nanny to
take on tour with them is important—as is proving to his ex he deserves joint
custody. Falling for his employee wouldn’t just be fodder for the paparazzi:
it could ruin everything.
Too bad the perfect nanny turns out to
be beautiful, vibrant Ryan Evans. Ryan’s never left her small Montana town
before, so she jumps at the chance to see the country. And as much as
accidental fame doesn’t gel with shy Ryan, what does is her relationship with her capricious, smoking-hot,
shockingly good dad of a boss. Marcus is nothing like what she expected. But
when the whole world’s watching them, will life in the spotlight be too hot
to handle?

Resisting the Hero by Cindi Madsen
Resisting her brother’s best friend is
futile…
Faith
Fitzpatrick isn’t looking for a hero. Burned one too many times in the past,
she’s now sworn them off completely. And when her brother’s best friend,
Connor, convinces him to join the dangerous SWAT team, Faith has never been
more anti-hero. What’s wrong with having a safe job? There’s nothing safe about Connor. Confident, sexy, and
sporting a six-pack that should be illegal, he’s everything she doesn’t want.
When
his best friend’s sister moves to town, local cop Connor Maguire knows he’s
in trouble. Faith is feisty, funny, and talks trash like nobody’s business.
She’s also his partner’s sister—and so totally off limits. Working on the
Fall Festival together, they agree to a truce and become friends. But the
more time Connor spends with Faith, the more he’s willing to risk the wrath
of her brother. If he could only convince her to take a risk on him, too.

ARC Review: Heart of the Incubus by Rosalie Lario
Title: Heart of the Incubus (A Demons of Infernum Novel)
Author:
Rosalie Lario
Publisher/Publication
Date: Entangled Edge, December 30,
2013
Format/Source:
E-Galley, Publisher
Book Summary
Biochemist Cresso Taylor lives the sort of
lifestyle most men would envy—he has wealth, natural incubus charm,
and more women than he can handle. But it’s not enough anymore. Not after
meeting Genevieve Russell, the sexy scientist who works with him at Elcorp
Laboratory. And she wants absolutely nothing to do with him.
After her fiancé broke her heart, Genevieve
has had enough of womanizers. She’s determined to steer clear of sexy-as-sin
Dr. Taylor, despite the fact that his incubus allure makes her want
to rip his clothes off. But when a secret admirer’s affection turns to the
macabre with threatening notes and grisly gifts, Cresso appoints himself her
protector. As she and Cresso hunt her stalker, she discovers there’s a lot
more to the sensual incubus than she ever imagined.
My
Thoughts
Hey do you want to read a story about a lovesick
incubus? Well, look no more, Heart of the Incubus is a steamy suspenseful
novella filled with interesting characters that have demons in their closet so
to speak. I liked the irony of Heart of the Incubus. I mean, Cresso's an incubus
that is basically lovesick while he had the power to have any woman he wanted. I
also liked the role of the banshee whose actions were a little atypical.
The outcome of the mystery surrounding Genevieve’s stalker was slightly
predictable, but there were still some surprising moments along the
way. And as you can guess from the title there is sexual content—the hero is an
incubus after all.
So, if you're looking for a paranormal romance novella with a slightly different take on the life of an incubus/demon, you'll want to read this book.
Rating 4/5
I received a review copy
of Heart of the Incubus from the publisher in exchange for an honest review,
thank you.

in for the fight of his life . . .
Army captain Trent Davila loved his wife, Laura, and their two beautiful children. But when he almost lost his life in combat, something inside him died.

But when Trent faces a court martial on false charges, only Laura can save him. What begins as an act of kindness to protect his career inflames a desire she thought long buried-and a love that won't be denied. But can she trust that this time he's back to stay?

BACK
TO YOU Excerpt
“So, to what do I
owe the honor of this visit?” she asked, minimizing her e-mail to be able to
focus.
“Don’t throw me out
of the office,” he said, trying to keep his voice light. “But I need to talk
to you about Trent’s case.”
Laura leaned back in
her chair, folding her arms over her chest, and started counting to ten.
“I know you’re
having a hard time with him.”
Laura sucked on her
top lip for a moment before answering. “I wouldn’t necessarily call filing
for divorce a hard time.”
“And that’s what I
need to talk to you about.”
“Patrick…”
“Just hear me out,
okay?”
She ground her teeth
but after a moment nodded.
“Listen, there’s no
case against Trent. It’s weak at best. With the Article 32 about to start, we
have a good chance of getting it stopped here before it goes to
court-martial. But I need to plant doubt that the allegations against him are
true.” He met her gaze. “I need you to do that.”
Laura chewed on her
bottom lip, playing his words over and over in her head, not understanding
what he was asking of her. “What do you mean, you need to plant doubt?”
“The primary witness
against your husband, PFC Adorno—”
“Oh, we’ve met,”
Laura said dryly.
Patrick’s smile was
humorless. “Yes, well, that’s part of the prosecution’s problem. She’s
alleging that Trent was inappropriate but the problem is that she and
Lieutenant Randall were caught in their shenanigans downrange.”
Laura frowned. “So
you think this is a ploy to get herself out of trouble?
“Her and her
husband. If they were working together to steal the missing weapons systems,
then what better way to get out of trouble than to make this stuff up against
Trent? Takes the focus off her and her husband completely.” Patrick leaned
forward, tapping his index finger on the desk. “If I can cast Trent as a
sympathetic family man who would never do anything like what she’s alleging,
this case is all but dismissed. I’m not attacking her. All I have to do is
make Trent look better than the story she’s telling and we’ve got a win.”
“And you need me to
paint on a happy face and be the loving wife.”
Patrick shook his
head. “No, I need you to be one half of a loving couple. And I need you to do
it publicly where everyone can see it—in the PX, in the chow hall,
everywhere. I need the officers on this board to believe exactly what I’ll be
telling them on the day of the hearing.”
She looked down at
her empty ring finger, absently rubbing the bare skin beneath the bandage.
“Everyone knows that we’re having problems, Patrick.”
“Then make sure
everyone knows you’ve fixed it.” He leaned back. “I wouldn’t ask you to do
this if I didn’t think it was our best shot at getting this whole thing
thrown out.”
She looked up at
him. “Why didn’t Trent ask me to do this?”
Patrick swallowed
and looked away. “He refused to drag you into this,” he said quietly. “For
what it’s worth, I don’t in a million years believe the allegations against
Trent. I don’t think he would ever, ever be unfaithful to you.”
Laura pressed her
lips together in a flat line. “You’re wrong, Patrick. He’s been cheating on
me for years. It was just with the army instead of another woman.”
“Laura—”
“Let me think about
it,” she said quickly. “I won’t say no out of hand but I can’t make this
decision on a whim.”
Patrick leaned
across the desk, gripping her hand. “I know this is hard for you, Laura. I
know what I’m asking you to do.”
She said nothing for
a long moment and he gave her a sympathetic but firm smile. “Give it some
thought, okay?”
When she was alone,
she sat there, staring at the picture of her family. Wondering how she was
going to bring him back into the kids’ lives and then rip him out again. What
he was asking wasn’t fair. He had no idea what this was going to do to her
family.
She glanced at the
photo on her desk as she typed furiously, trying to get ahead of the flood of
e-mails in her inbox.
There was a quiet
rap on her office door. “I’m not here,” she said quickly, looking up.
Her fingers froze on
the keyboard. Her heart stopped in her chest.
Trent stood in the
doorway. He had a duffle bag slung over his shoulder. His glasses hid the
darkness of his eyes. There was a streak of dirt on his cheek. An assault
pack hung limply from his left hand.
A thousand emotions
ripped through her all at once, rioting for supremacy as she drank in the
sight of her husband.
Ex-husband, she
reminded herself. Or at least he was supposed to be.
She wished that this
were a normal homecoming. One where she would rush across the small space and
crash into him. His arms would come around her and she would inhale the
strong spicy scent of his skin. Feel the heat of his touch. Savor that first,
wild kiss.
Instead she had
this. This empty chasm between them, echoing with loneliness.
And she had no idea
how to cross it.
BACK
TO YOU Pre-Launch Blitz Q&A
I
knew they would have a story to tell but telling their story in this
particular way, no I didn’t intend it. It took finding my amazing editor
along with multiple attempts at trial and error to get them just right. I’m a
nervous wreck about their story, but I’m also really excited because I’m very
happy with how their story turned out. Plus, hamsters. Who can argue with
that, right?
I
remember standing in the ops one day and one of the guys was on the phone
with his wife. He was telling her how much he was sorry, how much he didn’t
want to work late. Then one of the other guys remarked that he always says
that but he doesn’t ever mean it. So I had this idea of a man who was so
driven to get back to war that he let his entire family and personal life
suffer, but I also wanted a wife who people could relate to as well. Laura is
Trent’s perfect complement.
That’s
a much bigger topic than we have time for but I’ll say this: each one has its
own unique challenges. Being deployed, not being able to get home when your
kids are crying that they want mommy, that’s brutal. It rips your soul out.
But then coming home and your reality doesn’t live up to the fantasy? In some
ways I think it’s worse, and that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. As far
as being the wife at home? I remember vividly lying awake at night,
obsessively checking to make sure my ringer was turned on. I never cared when
he called I just wanted to hear his voice. So which one is worse? I can’t
really say. But I’m grateful that we’ve made it through each one a little bit
stronger, you know?
I
love a reunion story. I love the idea of being able to forgive and love the
person you’re with right then and not the memory of someone. I’m a huge
sucker for reunion stories, honestly. I love the reconnection, the noting of
how things have changed, of learning to love that person all over again,
especially after a betrayal or things didn’t work in the past.
Trent
is going to be hard for people to read, I suspect. He comes close to crossing
some boundaries, and I wanted to do that deliberately: I wanted people to
understand that coming home from war isn’t cured in a day or a week. It’s a
process. Someone like Trent who has bled in combat isn’t going to be okay
after a night of magical sex. I know that’s the fantasy, but I wanted
something more: I wanted the fantasy that the couple will be strong enough to
make it. So for me, Trent is deeply, deeply personal because I’ve seen
friends struggle with some very tough choices. And the truth is, there is no
magical cure but there can still be a happily ever after if you have someone
strong enough to stand with you.
Laura
sending Trent divorce papers while deployed I think is the ultimate prohibition.
It’s just wrong on so many levels, and yet I wanted to give readers a sense
of what could drive someone to their breaking point. Laura is such a strong
woman and yet she broke. The strongest of us all have our breaking points. I
wanted to show people how hard the war has been on everyone—not just the
soldiers deploying but on the kids, on the spouses—but I also wanted to give
people hope, too.
Ah
Fluffy and Agent Chaos. So for readers who don’t know, we have hamsters. It all
started when we volunteered to buy the pre-k class pet. I didn’t realize that
this would include home visits for the holidays. Fluffy was the first hamster
and she promptly escaped within the first 24 hours. After that, we’ve become
a multiple hamster household and well, when they escape, it’s madness because
we have dogs and cats who, by some miracle, haven’t actually ever managed to
capture one of the little buggers.
This
story badly needed something to lighten it up. I thought adding in some
escaping rodents would be the perfect thing to break up a really tough
interaction between Trent and his kids. They provided a bridge for him to
cross, a way to reach them while he was still getting used to them.
Small
wedding. Both hamsters and dogs and cats. Sweats all the way.
Coming
home to be a parent again is probably the hardest thing soldiers do. The kids
have changed, they have their own wants and needs and, well, they’re not your
soldiers. They don’t listen like your soldiers have to. The noise and the
chaos and the constant needs are really tough to get used to again, so I
think Trent just ran away because it was too much to deal with.
It
was very, very difficult to write. I wanted to push boundaries and create at
least a glimpse of what it’s like to come home. I wanted to give readers a
taste of the emotions that people go through, the fear, the uncertainty but
also the love and the hope and the relief that their loved one is home safe.
The
crowds and the entitlement. To this day, I won’t go into crowded stores or
wait in crowds. It’s suffocating. And it’s funny because when I first came
home, I was so annoyed at people complaining about lines and traffic and
school starting. I was just so grateful to be back. Now, I’m much more
sympathetic to everyday gripes and groans. I think it’s just part of how we
get through our days.
