Havoc
by Kindle Alexander
Series: Tattoos and Ties Duet
Published by: Author
November 25th, 2018
Genre: GLBTQ Romance
Format: eBook
Source: Kindle Unlimited
Rating: 2.5 Stars

     Keyes Dixon’s life is challenging enough as a full patch member of the Disciples of Havoc Motorcycle Club but being a gay biker leaves him traveling down one tough road. With an abusive past and his vow to the club cementing his future, he doesn’t believe in love and steers clear of commitment. But a midnight ride leads to a chance meeting with a sexy distraction that has him going down quicker than a Harley on ice.
     Cocky Assistant District Attorney Alec Pierce lives in the shadow of his politically connected family. A life of privilege doesn’t equal a life of love, a fact made obvious at every family gathering. Driven yet lonely, Alec yields to his family’s demands for his career path, hoping for the acceptance he craves. Until he meets a gorgeous biker who tips the scales in the favor of truth and he can no longer live a lie.
     Can two men from completely different worlds…and sides of the law…find common ground, or will all their desires only wreak Havoc?


     If I had known this was a duet before starting the book I might have enjoyed it more.

     You have on one side Keyes who is a motorcycle club (MC) member. The Disciples of Havoc is not an all together up and up club but they have improved since the olden days. The members of Havoc have been in the eye of the DA for years (which has helped on their being in the "right" path) but something else happened and they get raided by the FBI and ICE.

     Enter Alec, who is a lawyer with the DA's office and you get a recipe for disaster and who doesn't love a good forbidden romance story.

     This book started strong and I loved it but then I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop as to Key and Alec's forbidden relationship (I mean you know this is not going to seat well with the other members of the club) but nothing was happening.

     They've had a relationship for months and nothing happened apart from some small things here and there and the rest was them having sex. Now like I said at the beginning if I'd had known this was a duet I might have realized that their story continues and I wouldn't have been so disappointed after all this was the "getting to know each other" part of the story and where you connect with the characters and such.

     It was a great story but not what I was hoping for. I will be reading the second part of their story to see how it ends and since I know what to expect now, hopefully, I'll enjoy it more.

For a Few Demons More
by Kim Harrison
Series: The Hollows (#5)
Published by: Harper Audio
September 4th, 2012
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Format: Audiobook
Source: Library Loan
Rating: 2.5 Stars

     Despite dating one vampire and living with another, Rachel Morgan has always managed to stay just ahead of trouble . . . until now. 
     A fiendish serial killer stalks the Hollows, and no one living in or around Cincinnati—human, inhuman, or undead—is safe. 
     An ancient artifact may be the key to stopping the murderer—a mysterious relic that is now in the hands of Rachel Morgan, fearless independent bounty hunter and reckless witch. But revealing it could ignite a battle to the death among the vast and varied local supernatural races. 
     Rachel's been lucky so far. But even she can't hide from catastrophe forever.


     With every book I get more and more frustrated with this series. Rachel needs to figure out if she is lesbian, bi or heterosexual and stop going all over the place with her "feelings".

     Ivy was one of my favorite characters but now she is making like Rachel and having her feelings all over the place. Same goes with Kisten.

     The only good thing in this series is Jenks and even he has an expiration date.

     I am seriously debating whether to continue reading this series only to see what happens with Jenks or if I should just stop here.

Welcome to the Blog Tour & Giveaway for A Southern Season: Four Stories From a Front Porch Swing by Eva Marie Everson, Claire Fullerton, Linda W. Yezak, and Ane Mulligan, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours! Pull up a front porch swing and enjoy learning more about this collection from 4 great authors :)

A Southern Season
by Multiple Authors
Published by: Firefly Southern Fiction
November 1st, 2018
Genre: Fiction
Format: eARC
Source: Publisher (Via JustReads Tours)
Rating: 2.5 Stars

     Four seasons. Four stories. Each one set in the enchanting world of the South. These are the kinds of stories your grandmother told you from a front porch swing.

Ice Melts in Spring by Linda W. Yezak 
     When Kerry Graham's boss forces her to return to the Gulf of Mexico where her husband drowned years ago, she feels only spring's chill and not the warmth of the Texas sun. Can the joy of a reclusive author and the compassion of a shrimp-boat preacher thaw Kerry's frigid heart? 
Lillie Beth in Summer by Eva Marie Everson 
     With the untimely death of his wife, Dr. James Gillespie believes God has abandoned him. He also believes he's never met anyone like the young widow Lillie Beth, whose beloved Granny lies dying at home, and who sees a God who sweeps hope through a farmhouse window. Can a young woman whose husband died in Vietnam restore a faith that is all but dead. 
Through an Autumn Window by Claire Fullerton 
     Because her larger than life mother Daphne Goodwyn is dead, forty-year-old Cate returns to Memphis with one thought in mind: something always goes wrong at a Southern funeral. But surrounded by the well-mannered society that raised her, the nostalgic rites of a three-day, autumn mourning bring the unexpected gift of the end of sibling rivalry. 
A Magnolia Blooms in Winter by Ane Mulligan
     With Broadway stardom within her reach, Morgan James returns home in winter to help an old friend. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but when she sees him again, an old flame rekindles. When she's called back to NYC to take the lead in a new musical, will fame be worth losing the man she loves?


     This is an anthology about people that lost their faith in God and their hartening path to finding Him again.

     I have to be honest and say that it was an okay read for me. The characters of this stories all lost their faith in God after they lost a loved one. I know there are people out there that go thru this and that many find their way back into God's grace, others don't and to many others, it just brings them closer to the Lord.

     And I did enjoy some of this stories more than others but I think for the topic it concentrates on, this stories should have been longer and deeper. You didn't have time to connect with the characters before they decided to seek God's forgiveness. And in one story I was more concerned about a supporting character than the person who the story was actually about.

     I think that if every individual author takes their story and expand it and give the characters more flesh I would definitively enjoy some of them. As it stands it is an okay book for me but maybe it will touch someone who is angry with God or is much more in touch with the Lord.
