REVIEW -BOOTS AND THE HEARTBREAKER BY MYLA JACKSON

boots and the heartbreaker
In cahoots to break up a romance…they wind up rekindling their own.

Ugly Stick Saloon, Book 11

Colin McFarlan’s back is against the wall. Two brothers have caved to their mother’s threat to sell the ranch if they don’t get married and give her grandkids—now it’s his turn. Too bad the only woman he’s ever loved is the one who came between him and his brother Brody.

When Fancy returns to Temptation, he’s determined to steer clear of the gorgeous real estate agent, who looks good whether dressed up in a pencil skirt or dressed down in cowboy boots.

Fancy Wilson made mistakes. Getting engaged to Brody was the first. Weeping in Colin’s arms—and falling into his bed—on the night she and Brody broke up was the second. She’s not adding to her sins by falling for Colin all over again. She’s had enough heartache.

Yet when Colin asks her to help break up a romance between his mother and the notorious town heartbreaker, she can’t resist. But soon they’re scrambling to undo the damage they’ve done…before it destroys their last chance for happiness.

Warning: Breaking up is hard to do, but reunion sex can be oh, so fine!

I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley for an honest review.

BOOTS AND THE HEARTBREAKER is a steamy, quick read. I am loving Myla Jackson’s Ugly Stick Saloon Series! Fancy and Colin have a past between them. Fancy was engaged to Colin’s brother Brody, but when he slept with Fancy, Brody and Fancy broke it off. It also caused a rift between the two brothers that is finally starting to heal. Colin has three weeks to meet his Mom’s ultimatum, to find someone and marry her. The only thing is he wants only Fancy, but he does not want to rock the boat with his brother. He ends up getting with Fancy to help break up his Mom and her Uncle. He thinks that he is only after his Mom for her money. When Colin and Fancy get together it is instant chemistry. They cannot stay away from having sex with each other. There is one really funny spot with the cable guy, and Fancy when she surprises him half naked with a silver vibrator. The way this scene is written had me busting out laughing. I love this book and recommend it to everyone. I give BOOTS AND THE HEARTBREAKER 5/5 SIZZLING STARS.

REVIEW – REAP THE WIND BY KAREN CHANCE


From the New York Times bestselling author of Tempt the Stars comes the latest in the series that’s “well worth getting hooked on”(Fresh Fiction).

You’d think that being chief seer for the supernatural world would come with a few perks. But as Cassie Palmer has learned, being Pythia doesn’t mean you don’t have to do things the hard way. That’s why she finds herself on a rescue mission skipping through time—even though she doesn’t entirely understand her dimension-bending new power.

Rescuing her friend John Pritkin should have been an in-and-out kind of deal, but with the near-immortal mage’s soul lost in time, Cassie has to hunt for it through the ages—with Pritkin’s demon dad in tow. He’s the only one who can reverse Pritkin’s curse, but with the guardians of the timeline dead set on stopping anyone from mucking about, Cassie will have to figure out how to get her friend back without ruffling too many feathers—or causing a world-ending paradox or two….

REAP THE WIND is a roller coaster of a ride! Cassie is the Pythia, but ever since she was chosen, she has no idea what she is doing. Since she  became Pythia, Gods want to return to Earth to wreak havoc, and she has other groups that want to control her. Also she has the other Acolyte’s lead by Myra who wants to kill her so she can be the next Pythia. Right now all she wants to do is save Pritkin and lift he curse. So, to save him she has to go back in time and remove the curse from him. Easy, right? Nothing is easy in Cassie’s world. She will have to time jump many times, and dodge angry Fae and the Pythia of that time. Let’s just say when she gets back to her time, she looks like she was dragged through the mud, more than once. I wonder how she can stay on her feet with all the jumping around, with little sleep and food. If it was me, I would have been killed long ago. Somehow she always wins!! I love this book and series. I give REAP THE WIND 4/5 STARS.

REVIEW – THE DRAFTER BY KIM HARRISON

THE DRAFTER
In the first explosive book in the Peri Reed Chronicles, Kim Harrison, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Hollows series, blazes a new frontier with an edge-of-your-seat thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Detroit 2030. Double-crossed by the person she loved and betrayed by the covert government organization that trained her to use her body as a weapon, Peri Reed is a renegade on the run. Don’t forgive and never forget has always been Peri’s creed. But her day job makes it difficult: she is a drafter, possessed of a rare, invaluable skill for altering time, yet destined to forget both the history she changed and the history she rewrote. When Peri discovers her name is on a list of corrupt operatives, she realizes that her own life has been manipulated by the agency. Her memory of the previous three years erased, she joins forces with a mysterious rogue soldier in a deadly race to piece together the truth about her fateful final task. Her motto has always been only to kill those who kill her first. But with nothing but intuition to guide her, will she have to break her own rule to survive?

BOOK DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF AMAZON

Kim Harrison has another hit on her hands! THE DRAFTER a roller coaster of a ride! I love the character of Peri Reed. She is a drafter, one who can change the timeline. This book does not have the humor like the last series. It is more a Sci-Fi/Thriller, and will have you on the edge of your seat. Sometimes Peri will draft and she will not know she is doing it. Her last draft rewrote time when a mission went wrong and they had to kill a security guard, and Peri was shot. Now she has changed the timeline, and everything will start going to hell in a hand basket. She will have to find out who is telling the truth, her boss or someone else. This will take you on a wild ride in finding what the truth is. I loved this book and recommend it to everyone. I give THE DRAFTER 5/5 STARS.

BOOK DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF AMAZON

I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley for an honest review.

Leigh Greenwood is one of my favorite historical romance authors. His books are always masterfully written. I love his cowboys in the books. I always listened to the stories my Grandfather told me when he was growing up and about his horse that he had. My Great-Grandmother would tell me about coming here in a covered wagon, and that era just always fascinated me. Reading one of Mr. Greenwood’s westerns always brings that back to me. FOREVER AND ALWAYS is a story of Logan and Sibyl. Logan was adopted when his family was killed and settled in Chicago, but he has always wanted to find his two brothers that he was separated from. They were all adopted by different families. Now that his health is bad and does not have long to live, he breaks off his engagement and heads out to find his brothers. He stops at a small western town and goes into the bank, he ends up killing the bank robbers. He leaves, because he did not want the attention. He meets with Sibyl when he goes back to deposit some money. From there the relationship between them flourishes, but that is temporary, when his ex-fiance shows up and creates havoc. I recommend this book to everyone, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I give FOREVER AND ALWAYS 5/5 STARS.
