Again Alabama by Susan Sands

25594783

Description

My Review


***I received this ebook from NetGalley and the publisher in return for my honest opinions.***


This was a very interesting book.  There were times I wasn't sure I understood what the heck was going on...those questions were answered eventually though, however I am still a bit upset with the simple explanation of she thought someone had hurt her baby girl in the worst way and she was still hurting over what had happened to her when she was younger herself. Some of the altercations that happened were so funny and reminded me of home a bit and I have known enough people from Alabama to know exactly what their accents sound like lol. While I didn't agree with the whole cheating situation because he was drunk..which seems to be the typical manly  excuse, I did enjoy the little backstory on there about how he came to be with the other girl instead of her. I enjoyed the book overall to an extent so I'm rating it in at three hearts, and would enjoy reading more by this author.

Zack (Cold Fury Hockey #3) by Sawyer Bennett


23834720

Description

New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett goes for a hat trick with the latest romance in a sexy series about cool-as-ice hockey players and the women heating up their lives.

Rising star Zack Grantham has been stuck in a downward spiral of grief ever since the car accident that left him a single dad and put his career on hold. Back on the road with the Carolina Cold Fury and still crippled by emotional baggage, he’s in need of some serious help with his son. But while the nerdy new nanny wins his son’s heart, Zack isn’t sure he’s ready for a woman’s touch—even after getting a glimpse of the killer curves she’s hiding under those baggy clothes.

Kate Francis usually keeps men like Zack at a distance. Though his athlete’s body is honed to perfection, he refuses to move on with his life—and besides, he’s her boss. Still, the sparks between them are undeniable, tempting Kate to turn their professional relationship into a personal one. But before she makes a power play for Zack’s wounded heart, Kate will have to open him up again and show him that love is worth the fight.

My Review

***I received this ebook from NetGalley and the publisher in return for my honest opinions.***

How to begin this review....I had to really think about it...Not only was it an amazing book, it really touched me and made me think about things differently. 

Poor Zack is an amazing hockey player who suffers a tragic event. The death of the woman he had a child with and he thinks it is his fault. His sister helps to arrange a live in nanny for him who comes in the form of Kate. Through the first part of the book he cannot stand her, then she grows on him and he can tell she cares deeply for his son. Then the other middle part of the book he is fighting the attraction he is feeling for her as well as fighting off the guilt he still feels over Gina's death. I felt so sorry for him and also at times mad as hell at him and the way he was treating his relationship with Kate. I do wish there had been  more scenes with him talking out his problems to a psychiatrist though. I really love the way the book ended and look forward to possibly another book with some updates on Kate and Zack to see how they along with Ben are doing. Love, love, loved it!!!! I'm rating this one in at four hearts!!!

Never Refuse a Sheikh (International Bad Boys #5) by Jackie Ashenden


25645527


Discription

When the sheikh claims a wife, she cannot refuse …

Altair is a man perfectly in control both of himself and the power he wields as regent of Al Harah. Yet in order to retain his stronghold on the country he loves, he must wed a princess wilder than the Bedouin tribe she was raised in. A princess who only has one word for him: no.

Princess Safira knows what freedom means and it isn’t a palace or a crown. Neither does it mean being told what to do by a man with more ice in his veins than blood. Safira is innocent in the ways of men, but the heat in Altair’s gaze calls to a deep, unclaimed part of her soul she cannot deny. Altair seems hell-bent on civilizing her, but she’s not so easily tamed. Especially not when she can sense the wildness that lives in him….

My Review

***I received this ebook from NetGalley and the publisher in return for my honest opinions.***

I really enjoyed this book in the ways that it showed how much is expected of a sheikh or any royalty for that matter to do what is best for their people and not necessarily for themselves. It was really sad to read about how the poor princess was whisked away and raised in secret just to keep her alive only to be wanted as she is older to be a pawn basically. She is told she is to marry the Sheikh and there isn't anything she can do about it, she might as well accept her fate. While I felt for her and her situation I was so excited with who the sheikh was and what it would mean for him as well as her to be together. I loved their story and how they did come together and how they faced the situations thrown at them head on...sorta lol. Really enjoyed the book. I'm rating this one in at four hearts!!!

In the Air Tonight (Sisters of the Craft, #1) by Lori Handeland


22929489

Description

Four centuries ago, in a small Scottish village, three baby girls escaped the wrath of a witch hunter. Today, one young woman will learn about her secret history, her heart's destiny, and the sisters she never knew she had...

With her blue-black hair and dark eyes, Raye Larsen has never fit in with the Scandinavian community of New Bergin, Wisconsin. Being adopted is part of the reason she feels like an outsider, but what really sets Raye apart is her ability to see dead people. Everywhere. 

She’s learned to keep her visions to herself . . . until she stumbles onto the ghost of a murder victim who needs Raye’s help. Enter Bobby Doucet, a distractingly handsome homicide detective who has been tracking a killer all the way from New Orleans. Could this be the break in his case he’s been looking for all along? 

Meanwhile, the deeper Raye gets involved with the case—and with Bobby—the closer she comes to unlocking the mystery of her own origins. What she discovers about herself could destroy everything she knows . . . and everyone she loves. Is finding the truth worth the risk?

Filled with dark magic, dazzling romance, and dire suspense, this is the first book in a thrilling new series by New York Times bestselling author Lori Handeland.

My Review

*** I received this ebook from NetGalley and the publisher in return for my honest opinions.***

Just beginning the book was incredible, there was already a mob and crazy people out to get witches! How excited I was I tell you lol. Then we were taken to the future and even though we have a smidgen of an idea of who Raye is, we are not positive so it makes for a good guessing game of is she or isn't she lol. 

I loved Raye's character and the inside look we got from the author on her life and who and what she sees. The things she has to go through in this book to find out who she really is and where she came from was just...well, for loss of a better word, intense!

This was such an exciting book and had my interest from the very beginning. I have read other books by this author and have enjoyed them so when I was offered the chance to read this series I grabbed it with no hesitation. I am so glad that I did, it has immersed me in a world full of magic, danger and about finding love. Great beginning to the series and I am excited to begin on the second installment!

home planet, only to be captured by the sexy, dangerous Captain Epps. He claims to hate aliens but can’t seem to resist touching her or kissing her…everywhere.

 Rasha, Captain of the Sonis Royal Guard, is a warrior through and through. He’s huge, sinfully sexy and could have any woman on Sonis—but the woman he wants is Jess.
