CAT’S REVIEW

PAINTING THE LINES by Ashley R. King.   What a delightful read!   For a debut, Ms. King served up an ace!   The characters were believable - their banter was fun and their chemistry was off the charts.  I was rooting for both of them, both as a couple and individually.  The storyline flowed and was well thought out.   It was fun to read a tennis romance, my first and Ms. King did not disappoint.  I could not put this one down and truly look forward to future works by this wonderful new author. (Received ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW)

About ANCIENT ENEMY

She should be his mortal enemy.

Ancient dragon shifter Rhys awoke from his slumber hungry for revenge against the witch who killed his sister. When his hunt takes him to the rebuilding city of New Orleans, he finds a woman he can’t keep his eyes off—but she’s a witch. While Rhys wants to despise all of Dallas’s kind, even he can’t deny that she's beautiful, kind and…adorable. And her pet baby dragon only increases his fascination with the sexy woman. Protective instincts he never knew he had take over him as they hunt powerful monsters. He’s forced to confront everything he thought he knew about witches as his life is turned upside down.

But he wants her anyway.

Dallas Kinley is used to being hated because of what she is. Witches have always been the pariahs of the supernatural community. Until now, when the world needs rebuilding. Even though she wants to keep her distance from Rhys, vampires and humans are dying in New Orleans, so she vows to help him hunt down those responsible. But finding the enemy comes at a heavy price, because Dallas is hiding a terrible secret. As they race against the clock to find the murderers, she can only hope his need for revenge won’t rip them apart. Especially when he finds out what she’s been hiding from him.

CAT'S REVIEW

ANCIENT ENEMY by Katie Reus. I did enjoy this book. It is Filled with all sorts of supernaturals/paranormals so if you enjoy dragons, witches, vampires, wolves, etc - this is for you. Rhys, a dragon, and Dallas, a witch, complemented each other beautifully. He is on a mission of vengeance and she is a good witch, sweet and only wanting to help others and do good. It was a bit of a slow burn for these two, but I enjoyed their getting to know each other. There is plenty of bad guys and action throughout, too. For me, the only drawback was the big secret and how long it took to come out. I also would have liked to have seen a bit more drama in relation to the secret. But, depsite that, I found this book to flow easily and at a good pace. This is a book two of the series and the author does recap some of what happened already but I found I could easily follow along without having read book one already. (Received NetGalley ARC for honest review)

RELEASE DAY is October 6, 2020. This version will contain several extra scenes, including multiple cameos from Remington world favorite characters.

Want to know more about sexy police recruit, Xander Matthes? Read on! 
All police recruit Xander Matthews wants is to help people and keep his dark and dangerous past in his rearview, where it belongs.

ANY DAY NOW by Lani Lynn Vale. AVAILABLE NOW!


Release Date: August 11
Amelia loves her good friend, Avery.
So much so that she agrees to do the stupidest thing ever.
A stranger photo shoot.
You know the type.
The photographer takes photos of two individuals.
Two individuals that, until that day, have never met in their life.
The moment she shows up at the photo shoot, she knows that she made a terrible decision.
Why? 
Because the total stranger about to be in an intimate photo shoot with her is the hottest thing that’s ever walked the streets of Kilgore, Texas.
If not the entire US of A.
***
Adam wasn’t sure why the hell he agreed to something so stupid.
Call it temporary lapse of sanity.
When the photographer who shot his photo for the Kilgore Police Department’s benefit calendar asked him for a favor, he couldn’t say no. Not without looking like a jerk seeing as it was benefiting the Fallen Officer Foundation that he played a rather large part in.
Whatever it was that made him agree, he quickly realizes that it’s not worth it. Not when he walks into the studio and sees the massive bed with blood-red sheets dominating the middle of the room. 
So uncomfortable he is at the sight, he’s about to head straight out the door and not look back when she walks in.

Amelia steals his breath away with just one glance, and all of a sudden, getting this stranger into his arms with his mouth on hers sounds like the best idea ever.

HUSH by BT Uruella and Anne Malcolm ★★★★★ GET YOUR COPY TODAY!



Release Date: August 11



They were taken.

Off the street. 

From parking lots. 

Malls. 

Playgrounds.

Snatched from life and thrust into hell.

They took Orion Darby on a perfect summer day, while she could still taste her first kiss on her lips.

She joined the others with chains on their ankles and scars on their souls.

They turned into nothing more than statistics. 
Cold cases. Lost girls.

Years passed and the world forgot.
Until the day they escaped.

This is not about their captivity.

This is about their struggle to return to a life that's passed them by.

This was the real world.

But for Orion, this was hell.
You see... freedom isn't enough.
She needs blood.

CAT'S REVIEW

HUSH by BT Urruela & Anne Malcolm.  Wow!  This one was quite the read!  It was a bit heavy and a bit dark, but also filled with emotion.   This is not my typical go to read, but I was so intrigued by the blurb, I needed to check it out.  I am glad I did - it held me enthralled throughout the entire tale.  The portrayal of the characters had me believing each and every detail - the feels, the hurts, the pain, the anger, etc.  I feel these two authors kept to the truth of the story and the truth of Orion and the person she has become.  There are some feel good moments, but, Orion went through hell, and to come back from that is not easy.  And these authors demonstrated that well.  The writing was flawless and fluid, the story was believable and well thought out.  Overall, a really good read that had me thinking about the events of the story and the characters even after I finished.  Certainly revved up my emotions and that, for me, is an excellent read!

Meet BT Urruela 

BT Urruela is a combat wounded amputee, purple heart recipient, contemporary author who has written both independent and traditionally published books. He is a RARE under 40 award recipient, Rockwood Summit High School and Rockwood School District Hall of Fame inductee, Co-founder and Brand Ambassador for VETSports, Ambassador for Tampa Sports Academy, People Magazine Tribute for Heroes winner, Cover Model, Motivational Speaker and Philanthropist.

At an early age he began writing short stories having been inspired by reading books authored by RL Stein. His maternal grandmother's bookshelf was filled with literature that inspired his young mind and cultivated his vivid imagination. 

Upon graduation from high school his desire to have a 20-year military career was cut drastically short by an improvised explosive device. Taking the life of his commander, and leaving the remaining four team members badly wounded. 

After careful consideration and multiple surgeries, he along with the guidance of his doctors made the decision to amputate. It was the only surgery he ever left with a smile on his face, as if a weight had been lifted. He struggled for two more years through 4-5 hours of physical therapy a day, five days a week to get adapted to his new prosthetic. He medically retired from the Army with high hopes. His focus on restoring his physical shape being the most eminent battle caused him to neglect his psychological state. 

Meeting people was difficult and there were very few options for veterans to utilize that would stimulate friendship, and ultimately, allow communication barriers to be breached. After moving to Tampa, Florida, he co-founded the veteran community sports nonprofit, VETSports, with two other combat wounded veterans. It was their mission to change the way veterans transitioned back to civilian life through organized team sports, community involvement, and leadership opportunities.  

After being invited to attend a photoshoot with acclaimed photographer Michael Stokes, he flew to California in December of 2014, with incredible excitement. His photos were so widely publicized that he soon gained exposure to the literary world like he'd always dreamed of. That opportunity launched him into his present writing career. He co-wrote the novel 'A Lover's Lament with author KL Grayson. The following year he released first solo novel, 'Into the Nothing' and will be releasing Wicked Little Words with author Stevie J. Cole. He is now writing full-time.
