Now in My Bookbag: INDULGE (INFINITUS BILLIONAIRE 2) by E.B. Walters

An advance review copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

Walters has delivered a hot, steamy, contemporary romance that is extremely well-told. The heat generated by Lex and Jillian could melt my Kindle. Then there is the love story of ‘Jex’, unconventional and captivating as they draw even closer together. 


The love story is brilliantly woven together with a who-done-it style mystery, where almost everyone is a suspect at one time or another and an evil villain seems unstoppable. 


Indulge is well-written and thoroughly engaging. I highly recommend with 5/5 stars.



If contemporary romance is a genre you read, you must read the Infinitus Billionaire story, Impulse then Indulge.

Now in My Bookbag: Promises (Timeless Series Book 2) by Lisa L Wiedmeier


This is another well-written story in the continuation of Cheyenne’s journey. This one is a more difficult read because Wiedmeier does not spare the heartbreaking moments.

Cheyenne must learn the hard way that sometimes growing pains have expensive consequences. Her quest for the space to ‘find herself’ turns truly tragic and, just like that, the entire mood of the story changes.

Although Promises has a bit more angst throughout, this second book of the Timeless series is well told. I felt light, love, hope and the shell-shocked version of tragedy. This story is worth the tears I shed over it, and I gladly surrender many Kleenexes to the cause.

I am interested to see where the series goes from here.

4.25 of 5 stars

Now in My Bookbag: Cheyenne (A Timeless Series Novel) by Lisa L Wiedmeier


This is a novel I have had for a while. I keep setting it aside so I can read new releases by authors I already follow… I should have started it sooner. This is a great concept from the very beginning. The characters are very likable, the interactions are fluid and the heroine is sassy (if a little young to handle the sum total of her world).

Cheyenne is leery that any kind of relationship can last. She has had no lasting connection to anyone in life except her parents. She begins to feel a connection to her best friend’s family. Then, one truth that comes to light, and she is ready to turn her back and run.

I really love Wiedmeier’s writing style. She gives enough description to visualize the scene, but uses most of her prose to advance the plot and keep my interest. I am not a big fan of books in which half of the prose is dedicated to flowery, overdone, extensive descriptive terms.

CHEYENNE is an awesome book. It has heart, humor and love. I look forward to the rest of the series. 5 of 5 stars.

Then there is the love story of Lex and Jillian, unconventional and captivating as they draw closer and closer together.

Now in My Bookbag: FRIGID by Jennifer Armentrout (Writing as J. Lynn)

“I was in love with my best friend.”


FrigidThis quote applies to each best friend yet neither knows. If things continue this way through college graduation, neither ever will. It figures that each would feel as though the other was out of their league. They carry their misconceptions well. If either speaks the truth, their great friendship could be over for good. On the brink of something good, actions of the past create distrust in the present, and even the strongest friendship may crumble.

I was drawn in almost immediately to this story. Sydney and Kyler are great characters, each written as the opposite of the other. Armentrout brings each to life, exposing both strengths and weaknesses. She completely creates this believable world that is totally realistic. There are times in the story that the desire to shake some sense into one or the other characters manifests itself. This is a very enjoyable read and a precursor to SCORCHED. Both of these books are must-read.


(This is a Contemporary Romance and thus for readers who are 18+ due to language and mature content)

Now in My Bookbag: Elysian (Celestra Series #8) by Addison Moore

“I think I just figured out what the trouble in paradise might be. Hearts are being broken all across the time continuum, the universe.” (Skyla Messenger, Elysian by Addison Moore)

Elysian

I loved this book. It answered so many questions, and confirmed a couple of my suspicions, from all of the previous books. It testified to the way grief and guilt can color your world. It also showed how love can make you believe things when logic dictates otherwise.

This story made me feel the broken heart, the gut-wrenching grief from all of the characters I love, and the glimpse of hope for the future. There were tears… lots of tears and tissues. There were also some laughs. I think Moore showed a great sense of humor, in just the right amounts, to keep a morose feeling at bay.

I truly enjoyed this book, and it left just enough curiosity about the future to entice readers to buy the sequel series.
