“This is the most amazing series I’ve read in a while and hope it goes on a little longer.” – Loving Marie: A Fairfield Corners Prequel by L.A. Remenicky

#Hoosierauthor #FairfieldCorners

Falling in love with his partner’s little sister was never part of the plan.

There was an order to James Marsden’s future: get a job as an Indianapolis cop, work his way up to detective, and then find a nice girl and start a family. He never planned on walking into a diner his first day as a rookie copy and for her to blow his entire timeline to smithereens.

When Marie Griffen’s older brother Steve introduced her to his new trainee, she was instantly drawn to his shy demeanor and blushing face. Only, she couldn’t act on her feelings even if she wanted to. Steve wanted her to date someone with a normal job – that wasn’t his partner. Marie just wanted to live her own life without her older brother watching over her.

Marie and James must decide if this off-limits romance is worth the risk or if the consequences are too much for either of them to bear.

Fabulous prequel to the series!I read books 1,2 and 3 before I read Loving Marie but it was amazing! I loved learning how Marie fit into the story.
This is the most amazing series I’ve read in a while and hope it goes on a little longer.

Cassidy Wren followed her dreams and with her boyfriend, Eddie, she moved from a farming community in Iowa to bustling New York City.
Later, tired of rejection, a fateful phone call leads Cassidy and to move again, this time to her hometown of Hampton, California, and try her luck there.

Negative Ion keyboardist Greg Mitchell is embroiled in a nasty custody battle with his ex while attempting to heal and keep strong for the rest of the band members after the loss of a brother. Sparks fly when Cassidy and Greg’s paths collide, but the guilt from their unusual rendezvous may just be enough to destroy her. Plus, Cassidy’s new friend Kimber is hiding something, and she suspects it has to do with missing Negative Ion drummer, Jaxon Malloy.

Cassidy soon finds her life in complete flux, and she doesn’t know who to choose: the man she knows will always be there for her or the man who sets her body aflame?

WOW… INCREDIBLE… INSANE… AMAZING…

This book totally blew my mind, but in a good way. Cassidy has to choose between the hot, and I do mean HOT attraction she has with Greg or the steady devotion but frustrated relationship she has with Eddie. Greg is a hot rocker from the amazing band Negative Ion, his world has been wrecked from the custody battle he is facing with his ex.

Cassidy is living a boring and unsatisfied life with her boyfriend, Eddie. She has good friends and a steady man, but nothing sets her on fire until…

One fateful meeting between Greg and Cassidy sets them both on fire not to mention had my kindle smoking. Cassidy now must decide does she continue with Greg or does she resume the life she knows will never satisfy her.

Which would you choose: Hot and Passionate or Steady and Dependable? Just when you think you know what Cassidy will decide the twists that Ryanne loves to throw into her stories happen.

If this is your first book from Ryanne, you are in for a treat. Ryanne writes hot and steamy stories with a story that makes you feel every emotion you have. I have read every book from Ryanne to date, and she hit it out of the park on this one. I have to say this is my favorite book of hers. I love how she pulls you in and makes you take this journey with her characters.

Do I suggest you read it? HELL YES

How many stars do I give it? ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

The first book in this series is Falling, do you need to read it first? Not really but it will help you understand some things that transpire, so I suggest you read it first. This book is about Greg, Cassidy, and Eddie. There are some twists and turns that will make your mouth drop open. Especially the part when… well, I will let you read that for yourself.

Get your copy today you will not regret it, this is one book that is going to be re-read over and over again. Thank you Ryanne for once again pulling me into that mind of yours and showing me the genius of the writer that resides there.

“This book had me in suspense couldn’t put it down till I was done.” – Falling (The Negative Ion Series) by Ryanne Anthony

#contemporary, #romance, #interracial, #multicultural,
#indieauthor, #indiepromo, #authorpromo

During her first year of college, Kimber meets Samantha and her twin, ultimate bad-boy Jaxen Malloy, drummer for Negative Ion. Tatted. Muscled. Beyond gorgeous. Soon Kimber finds herself forgetting Roland and thinking only of Jaxen, much to Samantha’s disappointment. Like Kimber’s brother, Samantha wants Kimber as far away from Jaxen, female enemy number one, as possible since she knew all Jaxen would do is viciously hurt her. Not this time, Kimber insisted. Well-schooled on Jaxen’s reputation, Kimber decides to take what she can get, and ignore all the warnings to stay away from the handsome bad-boy.
Will Jaxen ever think of Kimber as something other than his “annoying” sister’s friend or was he falling for her, too? Kimber hoped so and, to find out, she was willing to take the risk of Jaxen breaking her heart… and soul.

Amanda Chalifoux

A must-read…

Really loved this story about Kimber and Jaxen. I couldn’t believe they loved each other all this time and it took them so long to get together. A must-read, it was sad towards the end. I wanna read the next two to see what happens to them. The ending was a cliff hanger. Does she stay married to Roland or go with Jaxen? I have to know. This book had me in suspense couldn’t put it down till I was done.

Kimber wanted to be a lawyer almost as much as she wanted Roland Sampson, her older brother’s best friend. After pining for him for two years, Kimber finally accepts that to Roland, she will always be “his best friend’s kid sister,” and nothing more.
During her first year of college, Kimber meets Samantha and her twin, ultimate bad-boy Jaxen Malloy, drummer for Negative Ion. Tatted. Muscled. Beyond gorgeous. Soon Kimber finds herself forgetting Roland and thinking only of Jaxen, much to Samantha’s disappointment.

“Mmm….. Matthew Oliver Cannon, can’t get enough!!!!” – Matthew (Book Five of the M Series) by Ryanne Anthony

#contemporary, #romance, #interracial, #multicultural,
#indieauthor, #indiepromo, #authorpromo

Matthew Oliver Cannon was a rich, handsome man who had a wild and wicked sense of humor and an insatiable appetite for the fairer sex. Matthew loved women so much he didn’t want to settle for just one; not until he’d gotten his fair share of bedding ‘his fair share’ as well as removing the pain of a family member’s past indiscretion out of his system. If ever…

“Play the field, I say. No ties, no strings. Just… go home and enjoy the solitude.”

“You’ll lose that solitude when you have kids,” his brother, Marcus, warned.

“Already worked that out, if I ever decide to have them, that is,” Matthew smirked. “They’ll live with their mother. I won’t. No woman’s ever trapping me. I’ll… knock her up and go home. ABC, 123.”

It was the perfect arrangement, he resolved. Then he met HER. Madison King, the woman who stopped his breathing just by walking in the room. And then he lost her and met another woman who sort of did the same thing… but not quite.

Read Matthew’s POV of what kept him and Madison from being together for years and how he will always regret the time they spent apart.

Tracy Arnett – Reviewer for Spunky N Sassy Blog

VINE VOICE

Mmm….. Matthew Oliver Cannon, can’t get enough!!!!

The M Series: Matthew which is book five of this series. This book covers Matthew Cannon’s story, we learned in the previous book The M Series: Madison that Matthew met and fell hard for Madison as did she for him, but what happened during those years that Madison struggled without Matthew.

Matthew was the one Cannon brother that everyone thought would be a bachelor and would never find “the one”. Then Madison King walked into his life and turned everything upside down. She was incredibly beautiful, smart and his match in every way. She is the one woman he couldn’t get off his mind no matter what.

Follow Matthew as he lets Madison slip through his fingers and into the arms of another man. Matthew has a past and insecurities that he tries to hide. In this book, we see a side of Matthew that we don’t expect. We follow how he felt losing the only woman that truly touched his heart to family tragedies that he is right in the middle of.

This book touched me in so many ways. In the previous books, we saw a different side of Matthew and personally, I loved seeing into his mind and how meeting Madison the first time affected him. We see this book through his Point of View and I loved every moment of this book until I got to the end of it.

Ryanne Anthony left me wanting more Matthew Cannon. I cannot wait until the next book in the series comes out so that I can see more of him. I love how reading this book felt like catching up with an old friend. I felt like I was right next to Matthew through his journey of heartbreak, loss, turmoil, lies, and deceit. I don’t know if we truly know all of what makes Matthew tick but we learn what makes his heartbeat.

Another hit for Ms. Anthony. This book took me to places that I loved and makes me want to go back as soon as I can. You will not be disappointed in this book. So sit down with the sexy Matthew Cannon and see the world through his eyes, trust me you won’t regret it as he definitely raises the temperature in any room.

I give this book 10+++++++++++ stars and I am more in love with the writing style of Ryanne Anthony than ever before.

“Life & Society as we know it can take a twisted terrible path” – The Between Times (Jewell in the Dark, Volume II) by Marta Moran Bishop

In the days when the corporations rule the world. The middle class is gone, and the cities are divided into upper and lower towns.

The upper towns are domed to protect the rich from the foul air that permeates the world, from the waste that fills the air, and fumes that blacken the sky from the smokestacks of the factories. The water is heavily rationed in the lower towns and barely drinkable, so fouled by the chemicals that fill the rivers and springs.

While in the upper town the water is purified even in the fountains and swimming pools that grace the world of the high and mighty. The shops, boutiques, restaurants, and museums are crowded in the upper town, music can be heard everywhere, and the flowers grow tall and beautiful.

While the people of the lower towns work six days a week, in sixteen to eighteen-hour shifts. There one day off is Sunday, it is then that the men and young boys must be found in the church, while the women and girls are kept at home, for they are considered to be beasts for breeding and less important than the animals that grace the zoos of the upper towns. Food is scarce in the lower town, and the only market is the company store.

The world has stepped back into the dark ages. Nearly all hope is gone to those not born into wealth and only the prophecy that one day a young woman will come who can control the magic of the between times keeps the poor going. It is said she will be able to pull on the energy of all those who are of like mind, wrap that energy together and send it into the world to remake it.

Marta Moran Bishop takes the reader through a possible future. Unlike Orwell’s, Animal Farm and 1984, or Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, The Between Times is not based on the government ‘Big Brother,’ but rather it is written using a recent ruling by the Supreme Court that says corporations are people. In The Between Times, we are shown the possibility of a world where the poor are considered to be a beast of burden, good only for the labor they can produce or the war they can fight, to enable the war profiteers to make more money.

Poor women are used for breeding and considered to be the property of men and the corporation. There is no way for the uneducated and isolated poor, move up the latter, for the middle class is gone.

In this short novel, The United States had taken a social, economic, and cultural step backward, to a time when our world consisted of lords and serfs. The only thing that keeps those who are not in the ruling class of the elite, going is the belief in a prophecy, that one day a girl will be born who will have the ability to unite all kindred spirits past, present, and future, to bring change to the world.

A truly amazingly imaginative book.

Rob Walker

Life & Society as we know it can take a twisted terrible path

Marta Moran Bishop has penned a fascinating what-if dystopian sequence of two novels available as book one and two or as a boxed set. I was fortunate to get the boxed set from Audible.com and listen to together with my family in lockdown to Darkness Descends (the prequel) and The Between Times (the sequel). I ‘ll not rehash the details of the story as this is a review and not a report. The intensity and brutality of the people in power in these novels, the sheer level of cruelty has Bishop vying with serial killer novelists and TV shows like Criminal Minds and CSI. Bishop sets the stage well, uses props masterfully, and the story unfolds to the ear like a Broadway rendition of 1984 or Fahrenheit 451 with a goodly dose of Brave New World. Still, while the dark side of the power brokers is genuinely executed and in places hard to stomach due to the attention to detail and the interplay of dialogue and character, there is the bright hope of Jewell herself, like a shining beacon on the lost hill. This is an American dystopia played out in Chicago, and the author’s obvious knowledge of the city struck me hard as I grew up in Chicago and have used the same city for many of my own writings. The novel here reminded me of just how long people have been declaring the men and women made the richest BY Chicago and Chicagoans have done badly in supporting the most vulnerable among us. In 1893 a visiting Englishman, a reporter who died on the Titanic, William Stead wrote of this crisis of Chicago in great detail in his book entitled If Christ Came to Chicago. And so, yes Bishops two titles in a boxed set on audible (ebook as well) moved me to deep thought about the crisis of Chicago in 1893 and today in 2020 with the pandemic that has hit the poorest and oldest among us the hardest, and yet we must always maintain hope and light.
