Want more from Charlie and Clarisse

Charlie is a teen, who is about to go on a trip with his parents before he heads off to college. One minute Charlie’s preparing for his trip, the next he’s meeting the mysterious Clarisse, who is an angel. Clarisse takes Charlie on a journey to show him the world and give him a lesson in good and evil with the Light Angels and the Dark Angels. As their journey comes to an end, Charlie must decide whether to stay with Clarisse or return to his parents.

I loved Charlie and Clarisse’s characters, I thought they were cute together and I liked how she responded to Charlie’s questions as they went about their journey. As the end came to a near, I got a little emotional as Charlie had to make his difficult decision.

The book was a quick and easy read. I thought the author did a good job with this first book in the series and she leaves you wanting more. I’m looking forward to reading the next volume in the series to see what awaits Charlie and Clarisse.

Absolutely amazing

She did it again, she drew me into the book. I could not put it down. This woman is an amazing writer. I seriously can’t get enough of her.

I chose this rating because it’s a great book.

I would strongly suggest anyone who reads to read this book but you have to read Falling first. I fell in love with Greg and Cass. And so will you!!!

Perfect continuation

This was the perfect continuation of Loving Jessie’s Girl, it picked up right where that one left off and delivered the answers we needed. Of course we do get more of Jessie’s story on this one and in some spots I felt in to to much retelling of what I just read in the first book (but that was OK, had there been time in between reading the two books that would have been greatly appreciated). The Author did a great job picking out the perfect women for these boys. I was left with some questions, but sometimes I like that…

Knights of Destruction (Soldiers of Destruction Series, Book Two) by E. Kay Sims – #Romance, #Erotica, #Military, #Action&Adventure, #War&Military, #ScienceFiction&Fantasy

Teaser 2.jpg

CAPTAIN EVE STONE, UNITED STATES AIR FORCE SPECIAL OPERATIONS JTAC
I am an American soldier, serving the people of the United States of America. I am a warrior. I am trained and disciplined mentally and physically. I am an expert and professional. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and to destroy the enemy. I will never accept defeat. And that is why after nearly twenty years of serving my country and having my identity, my memory, my life, and my one true love stolen from me, I will fight with everything in me to get him back, to remember who I really am.
Almost twenty years have gone by since I was injured in an accident while serving in the United States Air Force. My family, friends, and fiancé were informed I had died. I lost everything. Until now.
It was a chance encounter. While on a top-secret mission behind enemy lines in Iraq, he found me, the only man I’ve ever loved, SSgt Wyatt Powell. But I don’t remember him. You see, I’m a cyborg now. My human side is at war with my machine side because my human side remembers. I have a new identity and a new mission. I will get my life back, and I will make Wyatt fall in love with me again. And I will seek and destroy those who did this to me. I am Captain Eve Stone, and I am a Soldier of Destruction.
SSGT WYATT POWELL, MERCENARY SOLDIER OF KNIGHTS INC.
I can’t believe it’s her. When she died, it nearly destroyed me. Now I’m facing the fact that she’s been alive all this time, but she’s changed. She’s a cyborg with a new identity, and I’m not the same man she fell in love with. I’ve seen and done things that I cannot undo.
I have memories of how we used to be, of the all-consuming love we once shared, back before I had traversed the depths of hell. Before I lost my soul and willingly became a cyborg soldier for Knights Inc., a private mercenary army for hire, fighting for and protecting important assets of the United States. We do the dirty work no one else will, behind enemy lines in the most dangerous parts of the world, and on American soil. We go where even the bravest of the brave would not dare to go.
We have a new mission: find others like Captain Eve Stone and stop whoever is stealing the lives of American soldiers and turning them into cyborgs against their will. This I will do. I will hunt down those bastards and make them pay. I owe her this, even though I’ve reached the point of no return. I owe her my help in getting her life back, even if I no longer belong in it.
I can’t go back to the way we were, and I don’t know how to go forward, or if I even want to. She would hate the man I’ve become. I’m no longer worthy of her. I am the Dragon, a Knight of Destruction.

THIS BOOK KICKS ASS!

KNIGHTS OF DESTRUCTION E KAY SIMS
I loved Eve of Destruction, but this was a fabulous sequel! There was action, intrigue, humor and a hot steamy romance. Wyatt and Kat have found each other but they must go up against some nasty characters on a mission to save a kidnapped Dr. Marda. I really enjoyed the novel and I loved Gen who is basically Siri on steroids. If you are looking for a fast paced, edge of your seat read. Knights of Destruction is that book! 5 gold cyborgs

Her dreams shattered, Connie Meyer just wants to be left alone to live her life in peace. She finds that difficult to do when her estranged husband’s mother insists she returns to her son and a marriage she no longer wants—a marriage that does more harm than good.
Desperate to escape, Connie returns to Vail Mountain, the one place she had truly felt alive. However, her troubles soon follow her, and she gets more than she bargained for as she fights not only her past but the intense feelings that one newly elected sheriff arouses in her.

He resigns from the police force after a drug bust goes wrong, landing himself in the hospital to face his mortality alone. Uncertain about the direction of his life, he learns of the new sheriff position on Vail Mountain and takes a gigantic leap of faith—faith that he isn’t making a big mistake. Armed with nothing but a few possessions, Jacob relocates, only to find himself falling hard for a woman whose blue eyes speak of pain and loneliness.
As he battles his worst nightmare, can Jacob show her there is more to life than what they have been dealt and convince her that with him, nothing is impossible?

New series set in a tattoo parlor

This book is the first in a 5 book series, though it can be read as a standalone, since the next book will feature a different couple. The main characters are Heath and Ned. Heath is a tattoo artist and owns his own business with his brother Cooper. The other tattoo artists are X and Flynn and their Manager is Damian. All the men get along well and are like brothers to each other. Ned is a nurse and is one of 5 quintuplets. Heath and Ned meet when Ned’s brother Derek comes to Heath’s tattoo parlor to get a tattoo done. Ned is skittish of relationships, but Heath is patient and with Derek’s help starts dating Ned. The only problem is that both Ned and Heath are hiding something secret from each other, which could potentially pull them apart. There is a lot of humour throughout the book as well as deep emotion. The end was satisfying and I’m eagerly looking forward to the next installment.

Short, but worth the read

The worst part of this book? It is too short. Just as we have been getting things developed in the characters, the locations, the relationships, the author cuts off the story. Much like a Saturday Matinee… See you next week!! Uggg…

The story is basic Zombie Outbreak with introductions to the main characters, the history of the area and what is happening now. Add a few standard plot devices and viola, instant story. Now, this isn’t to say it’s like all the others, there is enough to make it fresh and worth the time to read. I am sure to pick up any and all books in the series as they become published.

All in all, a great ride, not too much gore, a touch of romance here and there, oh, and Zombies.

Are Preppers Eccentric or Truly On To Something

This series has grabbed onto me more than I expected it too. I haven’t honestly given a lot of thought to “prepper” scenarios and wasn’t sure I would enjoy reading about it – until I got the first book in this series, and Bailey, Caleb and the rest of the Ranch crew got under my skin. Ms. Jacobey has done a magnificent job of bringing Bailey from her upscale, typical self-centered teen life to a whole new world, and a complete change of priorities and world view.

In this installment, Bailey has a number of new realities to face, both in her own life and in the things going on in the world as a whole. Though she has grown so much in a very short time, we are reminded that she is still just a teenage girl in many of her actions. They definitely have their own sense of logic at that age – something the author fully grasps and relays to the reader.

I read another review that says there was not much going on in this second book of the trilogy. I have to respectfully disagree – I think that is part of the flow of a trilogy, and feel that this was all vital to set the stage for what is to play out in the final book of this series. I cannot wait to see how Samantha brings it all together from here!
