I Added A Blog New Page

I have been going through my library the last couple of days looking for duplicates and over all just checking to make sure they were cataloged the way I wanted when I realized I also need to do what I promised myself I would do at the first opportunity. In the past few years, I have purchased a couple of books from Amazon that turned out to be pirated, which is not cool. I feel like Amazon should also be doing due diligence to ensure the what is put into their system is not something that was stolen from another author. I feel double violated in the that because I purchased 2 books that turned out to be pirated, then turned around and spent more money to get the book from its real author. Both times I reported the pirate copies and not once did Amazon say ‘here let us fix this by returning the funds you spent on the pirate copy’ or better yet ‘let us exchanged the pirated copy for the real deal’ the later solution would be my favorite solution.

SOOOO, now we come to the new blog page I am creating and why I am creating this page. I am calling the page Pirate Watch List. I am creating this page to list any authors I come across that have for sure PIRATED someone else’s hard work from them. Just because it is out there does not mean you can take it and make it yours. This watch list is for those who have worked their fingers to the bone typing great stories for us to read.

Readers, if you come across a potentially pirated book let me know I will be happy to check it out then add it to the Pirate Watch List.

Authors, if you book has been pirated and you want to add it to the list let me know and I will check it and add it to the Pirate Watch List.

RELEASE BLITZ: Shadows By Laramie Briscoe

Title: Shadows: A single dad, MMA fighter, new adult romance
Author: Laramie Briscoe
Genre: New Adult, Contemporary Romance, Single Dad, MMA fighter
Release Date: April 14, 2023
Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal Best Selling author Laramie comes a single-dad, MMA love story. This small-town, standalone romance is packed full of emotion and steam.

“What I want you to do, Isabella, is find out what his real name is…”
Those were the words spoken to me when I sat down to learn about my final grade in college.
They not only shocked me, but changed the trajectory of my life.
Shadows Sampson has always been bigger than life on the campus of our college. Most of the time seemed as if he’s older than the rest of us. Like he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders.
When I get close? I find out there’s more to it than I ever bargained for.
And when the truth comes out; against my will – I hope I can get the forgiveness I so desperately want.
“You’ve gotta win this fight. We can’t push rent back again…”
Those words from my sister’s mouth put an exclamation point on how bad our situation is.
Especially after I lost the fight of my life. The one that was going to get us out of this apartment building, the one that was going to put us on a path we’d only dreamed about.
But me? I’d lost the fight, my confidence, and the motivation for the life I’d always wanted.
Until a baby I’d fathered was left at my doorstep, and a seriously hot girl from my college started paying attention to me. With that girl? I fall hard, only to find out I’m the subject of a story for her final grade.
Turns out, that’s my motivation.
Quitting isn’t an option. Not until my knuckles are bloody and not one person stands in the way of what I want.

Holly watched her parents struggle and even though she loves them she wants something different, outside of the Trojan MC. Duke on the other hand, wants Holly, she belongs to him and they both know it.

I am coming into this review with mixed emotions and I think some of those are because I have been struggling to put my thoughts together when it comes to Control. I like the story line that takes place outside the bedroom and I discovered the first mom that would serve as a great poster child for why some parents need to be licensed to be parents. Matthew is genuinely lucky to have his dad, granted MC life with the choices they make are not exactly a shining example of a good parent but Duke loving his son and being there emotionally and physically are clear signs of a good parent.

I don’t like the Dawg crew, their cowards that abuse women and children, that need to be locked in their kennels, stuffed in their dog house then barricaded in their kennel. The Dawg crew is mentioned several times and when they finally turned up, they just sucked.

I did like Control but I am not sure if I will ever read it again so to error on the side of not ever reading it again, I am only going with a 4-star rating. I can always change it in the future if I do read the story again.

Heat
Control has steamy and tasteful bedroom scenes that don’t take up most of the entire book or destroy the whole plot of the story. But then again there is a bedroom scene about every 2 to 3 chapters (Duke is a bit of a horn dog), not a big deal if one is cool with a lot of hot steamy sex fogging up the tablet or burning up the pages of a book.

Book Cover
I usually don’t do this (I prefer sharing a quote or 2) but there is a point to it and needs to be shared. Below is the description of the Trojan MC emblem from Control.

Their insignia was of a horse with two Glocks pointing toward each other.

Now, please, look at the cover, does the Trojan MC emblem on the cover match that description from the book. I know that the publishing company chose the cover design but seems like they didn’t bother reading it or they just totally disregarded AND disrespected the book and the author when designing the emblem and adding it to the cover.

Blurb Rating
As I was prepping this review, I read the blurb (Which I copied from BookStrand) again then I had to go back to Amazon and Barns & Noble because I just had a WOW moment because both site sensor my reviews for inappropriate language, even if I am sharing quotes, something I no longer do on those book store sites (talk about total violation of freedom of speech/writing). So, imagine my surprise when I spot the word ‘fuck’ in the blurb when Amazon and B&N won’t even publish my review if that word is in there. Don’t get me wrong I totally applaud the author for posting the blurb and thank her for sharing the hypocrisy of both book stores.

Book’s Blurb
Duke has wanted Holly for a long time but she was too young, too innocent, and he was married. Now, she’s older and he has waited long enough. She is going to be his.

Holly grew up in the MC life. Her father was once president of the Trojans MC before he handed the gavel over to Duke. She refuses to become part of the life like her mother has. Being an old lady is the last thing she wants to become.

He has bided his time and now he will not let her go. Holly is his to control, to fuck, to love. He’ll do everything in his power to claim his woman but what will happen when Holly finds out the truth about the club?

When his ex-wife tries to hurt her, Duke will have to make a choice. Can he kill the mother of his child or will he protect the woman who owns his heart?

It’s Weird

It’s weird I how I go about writing these reviews, it’s almost backwards because I start with the blurb and the cover, from there I go into the steamy stuff before I ever get to main body of the review, see it’s backwards. Some of that is because it takes me so long to get what I want to say about the book put into words. The words get all jumbled in my head, I mean for example the current review I am working on has been sitting here for 3 almost 4 weeks. Why? Because my head is so blasted crowded with everything going on, I guess.

2 nights ago, I couldn’t sleep, my eyes were closed but my brain was going a million miles an hour and at one point it was on the review I was working and had it written in a matter of seconds but did I get up and writes those words? No, I didn’t because 5 am comes awfully early and I really do like driving my school bus. Now, those words are gone and I need to get the body of the review done so it can be posted today but instead I am writing this because it is what popped into my head instead. Crazy.

It’s Been A Minute Since I Last Posted Anything

Sorry for being super sporadic lately, I have been working on a new blog, along with a couple of new projects. I have added a tab to the new blog and hope you will check it out and maybe follow it. We are also in the planning stages of Shanny’s Run/Walk in memory of my daughter that was murdered by an impaired driver in 2015 and working on Victim Impact Presentations. It has been a busy couple of months.

I am working on a review now that I have been working on for a few weeks now but should have up by the end of this weekend (I hope) along with a couple of post for my new blog. I will be taking a brief writing break to run up to the farm but that is such a great place to write and the husband and son want to go up to the little mini gun range they have set up to test my son’s new gun after they run a few errands.

I am off to get the writing and chores done, Happy Reading.

PATCH

Reinvention.

That’s what I’m doing. After losing so much, it’s time to rebuild and not look back to the life that tried to destroy me. Moving to Kentucky and building a home for rehabilitating prisoners after incarceration keeps me motivated and gives me purpose. But when I meet a courageous and strong woman on the run, I know that she needs more than just my help. And believe me, I’m going to give her the world.

PENNY

Reinvention.

I can’t live in fear and pain any longer. With an abusive ex-husband on my trail, I have to get away and start over. Rebuilding my life hundreds of miles away in Kentucky seems like the only answer to my prayers. I certainly didn’t know what I was wishing for. Meeting the rugged, determined, and handsome Patch makes me want so much more for my future. But when my past resurfaces and my life is on the line, it’s only Patch and his team of unlikely allies that I can truly count on. He’s my confidante, but is he desperate enough to save me once and for all?

Welcome to Iron Oak Farms and the home of the Appalachian STAR search and rescue team in the mountains of Mallie, Kentucky. It’s a place for new beginnings and second chances at life and love, with rugged, troubled men, characters you know and love from the Bluegrass Dynasty series and Susan Stoker’s Eagle Point Search and Rescue series, and plenty of steam.

“Go lie down. I’ll be there in just a minute.”

His eyebrows shoot up. “You’re coming in there with me?”

“Yes. I’m coming in there with you. I want to keep an eye on you. You’re exhausted.”

“I’ll be fine.”

I smirk just a little. “So you’re telling me you don’t want me in there?”

For the first time since he came in, he smiles back. It’s a tiny smile, but it’s still there. “I didn’t say that.”

“No funny business, mister. I just want to sleep in there beside you so I know you’re okay.”

He shoots me a weak, snide grin. “Awww, that’s sweet. You’re taking care of me.”

“I am. Now go!” I give him a little shove and he ambles slowly toward the bedroom.

Ten minutes later, he’s in bed under the covers and sound asleep. I’m right beside him, on top of the covers, watching his face as he sleeps. At some point, he wallows around until the patch rides up, so I take it and place it on the nightstand. It’s the first look I’ve gotten, and I’m guessing he’s going to be upset when he finds out, but it’s not at all like I thought. It’s not bad. It’s just an empty socket, his lids meeting in front of it. Nothing to see. My hand comes up of its own accord and I press it to his cheek, then listen to him sigh with the warmth of my touch.

And at that moment, I’m pretty sure my heart is his. I just hope he wants it.

A Stranger She Has Always Known by Emma Anderson

Genre
Erotica Paranormal Romance
Word Count

Pages

I have read A Stranger She Has Always Known several times and I am so excited to write this review. It’s a great story and Jasmine is an awesome character with a craptastic mother and a perv for a step brother.

I really liked how Jasmine rolled with the punches when she learn her best friend’s (Luc) secret and that his brother, Dominic, is her mate. She was pretty calm when she learns her mother and step brother are so determined to get their hands on her inheritance that they are willing to kill her for it. I think Luc and Dominic’s over protectiveness is hilarious up until it becomes a serious life and death matter. I think my very favorite part was when Jasmine wiped the floor with Catherine the delusional, that was an epic moment in the book.

I think my only complaint is about the name ‘Simon’. To me a Simon is a person with glasses and pocket protector and a sweet disposition, so, you can imagine the horror of learning that one can actually be a horrible, evil piece of butt fudge. There are very few to no edits so I won’t complain about those, especially after reading the story so many times.

Heat
The genre claims A Stranger She Has Always Known is erotica however after reading the story several times I think that the term is an over exaggeration of the steaminess of this story. The first bedroom scene takes place several chapters into the book and is not the main theme of this story. In addition, all bedroom scenes were fairly vague and short.

Book Cover
I am not sure why there was a need to have the female model in her underwear. It seems like false advertising, especially since this book is fairly tame in comparison so some of the books that I have read from Siren Publishing. Since it is customary for the publishing companies to chose the cover, I have to wonder what they were thinking when thinking half naked models were appropriate for this particular story, I can’t help but wonder if they actually read the story. I feel bad for the author as she probably had very little choice is the cover design of her own story.

Blurb Rating
The blurb is pretty accurate and a great selling point for A Stranger She Has Always Known, however, there a couple of grammatical errors that should be looked.

Book’s Blurb
After inheriting her grandmother’s estate, Jasmine Carmichael becomes a well sought-after person, for many different reasons. Her mother and stepbrother are after her money, and neither will stop until they get what they want, while her best friend’s brother wants her in his bed. The idea both intrigues and scares her at the same time.

Dominic Richards has spent the last 17 years ignoring his brother’s best friend, only to discover that she’s his mate. Now he has a fight on his hands. He needs to find a way to get to know Jasmine, so when she’s threatened he sees the perfect opportunity.

If only life were that simple. Developing a relationship can be difficult at the best of times, but for Jasmine and Dominic, they have the added pressure of the danger surrounding Jasmine. Will she be given a chance to see what the future holds for her and Dominic, or will her family succeed in killing her first?

The sexy, single dad of the MTF finally gets his turn…

Mason “Menace” Harrison

“Single and ready to mingle…”
Those are the words above every picture of almost every female that strikes my interest on this dating app my son talked me into getting. After being a single dad for seventeen years, I’m ready to spread my wings, just not with most of the co-eds who keep hitting on me and calling me daddy.
Now that Caleb’s in his Senior year of high school, I feel like I can let go of the iron-clad control I’ve had on myself without his Mom in our lives. I’ve enjoyed raising him, love the relationship we have, and while he went off the rails for a bit last year, we’re closer than we’ve ever been. He’s got a full ride to the University of Alabama, and I’ve settled into my spot with the Moonshine Task Force.

But my son doesn’t warm my bed, he isn’t someone I can share my dreams with, and he’s not the person I want to grow old with by my side. I’m not sure who that is yet, but the smokin’ hot lady going by the name BeachBum83 definitely has every single bit of my interest.

Karina Holland

“Looking for a good time, maybe more…..”
Those were the lamest words I ever typed in my life, but it was the best I had for the dating app my friend, Violet talked me into joining. I didn’t have any high hopes for myself. As a High School English teacher, I’m sick of pervy Dad’s hitting on me when they come in to discuss their child’s lack of motivation to read the classics and apply themselves.
Until the day Mason Harrison walks into my classroom. I had no idea Caleb’s Dad was the man I met off that dating app who showed me how flexible I really am in the back of his Jeep. Within minutes of the parent/teacher conference he proved the sparks weren’t one-time only when we christened my desk.
Mason and Caleb? They touch a part of my heart that no one’s ever touched before, and when a threat from the past shows up, I prove just how tough I really am.

Forgotten & Remembered: The Duke’s Late Wife (Love’s Second Chance #1) by Bree Wolf

Author’s Page
https://www.breewolf.com/

Rosabel loves her cousins and wishes that her uncle and aunt cared for her even just a little bit. When her uncle informs her, she is to be married to a Duke that she has never met. When she figures out that the only reason Graham married her was to provide a mother for his daughter, she is shocked but after meeting the little girl, who desperately misses her only living parent, Rosabel becomes determined to be the mother the girl desperately needs. Rosabel though a shy woman not willing to makes waves grows in to her maturity and strength in such a gradual way to make it believable. She willing to do anything for that little girl including going to the wall with her husband, Graham.

Graham struggles with his loyalty to his wife and his friend and his growing feelings for his new wife as well as his fear of her rejecting him. Again the author did a great job of making the progression of the character believable and 3 dimensional.

Forgotten & Remembered is a well written regency romance with no editing issues that I noticed. I enjoyed reading the story and look forward to reading other stories in the series. I am also glad to have found this book for the potential future reading choice of my 12-year-old granddaughter. All of the positives of this story make it easy to give Forgotten & Remembered a 4-star rating.

Book Cover
In the process of getting the publishing details for this review and journaling for Forgotten & Remembered I discovered that there are 3 (Amazon and Goodreads) different covers for this book. The one on this review is the one that came with my version of Forgotten & Remembered. I am not a fan of this cover and that is all I plan to say on the subject of the many covers.

Blurb Rating
I purchased this book back in 2016 and since then they have changed the blurb on Amazon. I don’t care for the beginning of either blurb but the nuts and bolts of both blurbs are decent.

Book’s Blurb
One night, they found themselves under some mistletoe.
Now, he owes her a kiss. And she is determined to claim it.

HIS HEART TORN in two, Graham Astor, Duke of Kensington, mourns his wife. As he distances himself from everything that reminds him of happier days lost forever, he comes to realize that there is one thing he cannot run from.

Graham needs a new wife, if only for the sake of his daughter.

DISILLUSIONED WITH LOVE, Rosabel only wishes to not remain a burden to her uncle’s family much longer. After seeing her parents’ love turn against them, Rosabel dreams of an independent life as a governess.

But then a stranger asks for her hand in marriage, and to her utter shock her uncle instantly agrees.
Will Rosabel find love after all? Or will the memory of Graham’s late wife keep him from finding happiness?

***This is not a tale of love at first sight. This is a story of two wounded people, who need to find the strength to face their fears and overcome them in order to find their happily-ever-after. A story filled with drama, joy, emotional turmoil as well as a touch of mystery, that will make you laugh and cry and scream at the characters. A clean Regency Romance with some sizzle!

Ace is saving lives and mending hearts…

Anthony “Ace” Bailey

I’m not a rules kinda guy
Department Policy? Kinda sucks, but I do what I have to for the job that I love.
Playing it safe? Not my thing.
Married? No big deal when I know she’s unhappy and scared.
I’m one of those guys – a sniper in the military, a little bit of an adrenaline junkie, and a member of the Moonshine Task Force. I’ve lived through some shit.
My gut has never failed me. It’s my sixth-sense. Warning me of a gunshot coming my way, of a traffic stop being potentially deadly, or the tingling in the back of my neck when I go to sleep telling me I’ll be woken up by a call in the middle of the night. My gut has always kept me honest.
Like the day I walked into The Café and saw the new waitress. There was a ring on her left hand, but I didn’t care. One look in her eyes told me everything I needed to know. Her marriage wasn’t one made of love and respect. It was one made of fear and doubt.
It’s why I ignored that ring, why I arrested her husband, and the reason I’m willing to take my time. Patience is a virtue, and with this woman, I have it in spades.

Violet Miller

Meeting Anthony Bailey changed my life. He did things that no one else has ever done for me.
Feeling safe? Never happened before.
Feeling wanted? It’s been years.
Being independent? I’m learning.
It’s foreign, not having someone question my every move, being able to eat what I want for dinner, and sitting out on my front porch talking to Anthony every night while we share a couple beers.
I try to tell myself he’s just being nice; that he’s doing his job and working within the community. The problem? The night he takes the kiss we both want, everything changes, and I can no longer deny what I feel. But it doesn’t stop me from trying – and I learn quickly that Ace knows me better than anyone else ever has – including myself.
All I can do is hang on, as he takes me on the scariest journey of my life. The one that bends us until we almost break, and ends with a happily ever after I never thought I would get.

Release Blitz: Tank by Laramie Briscoe

Title: Tank (The Moonshine Task Force: Special Edition), #2
Author: Laramie Briscoe
Genre: Small Town Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 20, 2023
Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling author, Laramie Briscoe, comes the special edition of a fan favorite series.

Nobody writes blue collar romance like Laramie Briscoe, and nowhere is it more apparent than in the Moonshine Task Force: Special Edition Series.
This edition includes a never-before-released short story, as well as all the slices of life scenes and text messages I’ve written for this couple.
Life isn’t promised, love isn’t easy, and relationships aren’t always clean, but everyone has their soulmate who is willing to forgive when it would be better to forget.

Trevor “Tank” Trumbolt

I never thought in the blink of an eye my life could change, but it did. Cresting a hill driving to my favorite fishing spot, I was hit head-on by a teenager with no regard for anyone’s life but his own.
The recovery process has been hard, painful, and damn near beating me down.
The bright spot? Blaze.
Surviving the wreck has given me a second chance to make a life with her. Not knowing if I’ll ever be able to rejoin the Moonshine Task Force again has brought my world into focus. It’s made me realize what’s important.
Blaze. Stella. My brothers. My sister.
The ego that ran Blaze away before isn’t here any longer. What’s left is a man who’s holding his heart in his hands and a burning hope that once I’m healed she’ll still be around.

Daphne “Blaze” Coleman

There’s only been one person in the world who’s accepted me for who I am – from the fiery red of my hair and vibrant tattoos covering parts of my body to the smartness of my mouth and my desire to be matched in the bedroom.
That man is Trevor Trumbolt. When he asked me to give up my job as an EMT because he saw the dangers I face one scary afternoon, it spelled the end for us.
Now that he’s been injured, he needs my help and my love. I’ll give it all freely, but in the end I’m gonna need him to understand one thing about relationships. The give and take, love and sadness, pleasure and pain is a two-way street. He’s either in this with me or he’s not, but at the end of the day, I won’t let him boss me around.
If there’s anything that can handle the steel of a tank – it’s the heat of a blaze.
