#WOTR24 #Paranormal #Vampire #Demons #Witches – Jill, The Mates book 5 and The Protectors book 23 by Teresa Gableman

Leave a comment

Once again, Jill stood at the crossroads of her life. The decision to leave her role as a VC Warrior had been a devastating choice that shattered her very being. Yet, the Warrior she had been molded into demanded the sacrifice, pushing her toward an uncertain future.

As she is confronted with a terrifying opportunity, Jill understands that there is only one path she can follow, even if it means risking everything she holds dear. The weariness of being a burden to others and, most importantly, to herself fuels her determination to forge her own destiny.

Loyalties will be strained, friendships challenged, and the bonds she cherishes will be tested. It’s a journey of self-discovery, a quest to unveil the real strength within Jill ‘Nichols’ Buchanan that hopefully leads her back to where she truly belongs.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.

Jill is one of my favorite characters in the series.  She is brutally honest and takes no crap.  One the flip side she does take unnecessary risks to save those she loves.  Again bad ass WARRIOR!!  Slade is the perfect ying to her yang. He is so controlled and methodical but falls hard for the most uncontrolled and least methodical.  I mean I adore them.  So seeing them in this weird place of indecision was hard for me.  I mean we all know Jared is my mans BUT this couple is the heart of the series in many ways.

Jill did the hardest this she ever did when she trained and became a Warrior but she also did the bravest thing when she walked away…or did she.  She was so in her own head she didn’t really listen to all that the others said.  This book she finally listens to what others have to say. She soon realizes everyone loves her and wants the best for HER even her crazy mate, Slade. Slade also learned he needs to let his mate have a little bit of space PLUS open up to her about all things relationship wise and duty bound.

The side story of Gello, the demons, and Daniel were pretty important in the series overall ARC.  It was great to see more of the Dark Guardians and meet a few new characters.  *wiggles eyes up and down* this could get interesting  LOL

Daniel…I know he isn’t a child anymore but like Jill thinks, I think he IS a child.  The end of the book had me teary because we don’t know what is going to happen, but the path Daniel is on seems to be a lonely one.  Am I ready for him to find a mate?  No but damn he needs someone to love and cherish like his dad does his mom.

Teresa Gabelman is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the ‘Protectors Series.’ When not writing about sexy alpha vampires and the women who drive them crazy, she can be found on a lake with a fishing pole/Kindle, at an MMA event, or spending a fun evening with family.

Being a full-time writer has allowed Teresa to connect more with readers, which she loves most about writing. If you find the time, she would love to hear from you!

#WOTR24 #attendingauthor #Authorspotlight – H. D’Agostino

Heather D'Agostino

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

I write under the name H. D’Agostino. I’ve been attending WOTR since year 1. I write contemporary romance, romantic suspense, new adult, rom com, and military. I just celebrated 10 years published this past April.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

What comes after. You can make up whatever you want in book 1. When you start the rest of the series, you have to remember what you had so everything flows together.

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I skip around in the sub generes. I try to keep things as realistic as I can, but also have a bit of that fantasy that expect from romance. I’m also very diligent about not using the same subject matter in more than one book.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Just write. Whatever it is, no matter what, just write. Pick it apart later during the editing process.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

On a good day, about an hour. I work a full time job and have kiddos to take care of. Writing usually happens in the early morning before leaving for work, or on the weekends if I’m not at a track meet or something else.

What is your definition of success?

Finishing a project and being proud of it.

Brace yourself for the unexpected in this chilling novel that will thrill suspense and horror readers alike! Willow can’t remember what landed her in captivity, but she’ll do anything to survive. For fans of Natasha Preston and Stephen King.

Willow is alone, confined to a bed with restraints. She can’t remember how she got there…or how long she’s been there.

An old lady appears in her room to feed her twice a day. Granny doesn’t talk, but Willow can hear thumping from somewhere beyond her door. It’s not Granny’s shuffling steps. It’s too loud to be Granny’s cat. Is it someone? Something?

Then Granny’s cat dies in Willow’s room. And Granny follows a few days later. Willow will do anything to survive. But freeing herself from her bed is only the beginning… Because there is someone else in the house. Who is this mysterious teen who calls himself Elijah? And is he the reason she’s hostage or the key to her escape?

Review by Twinsie Tenise

I received this book from a secret Santa exchange. I’ve never read this author before but the cover alone drew me in and the magic between the pages kept me engaged and guessing until the very end.
The plot was nuts. I couldn’t keep up. My mind was reeling with all of the possibilities of what was happening to this poor girl. Then when I found out the actual truth, all of the pieces clicked into place, and it left me speechless.

Cyn is an author of 9 YA novels and ghostwriter of hundreds of novels for many popular authors. She lives outside Allentown, PA, with her husband and daughters. Visit her online at www.cynbalog.com.

Annabelle Anders

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My name is Ann, but I write under Annabelle Anders. I began publishing in 2017 and left my day job a year later. Since then, I’ve published over fifty full length Regency Romance novels, with one of them receiving the distinguished RITA nomination in 2019. I write at her home in the small town of Grand Junction, Colorado with the “help” of my two miniature dachshunds and husband of thirty years. I am happy to have finally found my place in life.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

The first (when I do it right). All the others if I don’t LOL

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I try to come up with original scenes… something that I haven’t read or heard of anywhere else.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Decide if you want it to be a business or a hobby. Because the business side takes twice as much time as the writing…

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

From anywhere between 1-12 hours. Depending on how close I am to my next deadline. (I have ADHD and so… yeah…)

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

Miss Emily Goodnight. She is the quintessential Annabelle Anders heroine and I love her because she’s confident in some areas of her life, but when it comes to romance, never feels good enough. But when her hero finally pulls his head out of his behind, he realizes how awesome she really is. By the end of the book, she’s more self-assured, and he’s realized how badly he needed this very woman. 🙂

What is your definition of success?

I think you’ll get a million different answers to this question. I’ll say it’s balance. I am more than just a writer, I am a wife, mother, sister and daughter too and I need to make sure I’m healthy enough to fill all these roles. So selling books, oh yea. Staying sane while I do it? That’s success.

#wotr #attendingauthor #seriesstarter #audiobook Foundation (Brady Family 1) by Lainey Davis Narrated by Tom Taylorson and Carly Robins

Leave a comment

Meet the Brady family. They’re brilliant, brooding, and barreling into relationships whether they like it or not.

Zack Brady doesn’t do relationships. He does calculations.

When his family engineering firm sends him to investigate a sinkhole at a client’s house, Zack feels a tremor in the foundation of his carefully calculated world.

Her name is Nicole Kennedy. She’s loud and crass and has no time for nonsense. She certainly doesn’t have time for a mysterious trench swallowing her yard. To make matters worse, the grouchy engineer who shows up to fix it is the same jerk she’s forced to run beside during the corporate relay race her boss insisted she run.

Somewhere between jogging and poring over geotechnical engineering plans, Nicole and Zack feel the earth move. Can they overcome their past to build something meaningful?

Foundation is book one of the Brady Family series. If you love messy family dynamics, unforgettable characters, and sizzling chemistry, you’ll devour this new series by Lainey Davis, creator of the Stag Brothers series.

Review by Twinsie Dee

i bought this audiobook here is my honest review.

When Nicole is just trying to do her job, but her boss is making her participle in the corporate relay race, which is the last thing she wants to do, but her boss is determined to win not that Nicole cares really but guess she’s needs to be a team player while still doing her job. But with all this training now added to her schedule that her boss is making her do, don’t think she’s not going to ask him for a raise because of all of this. Since the rules for the race says they need to have a female representation on each team and Nicole was the lucky winner for her law firm. Zack is talked into being a trainer for this race and luckily gets paired to train Nicole, he isn’t one to flirt or deal with women like Nicole, but he finds himself feeling all these different feelings he’s never had before. These two find themselves working together in more ways in one Zack has to evaluate Nicoles yard when a landslide is happening in her very backyard, and with him being her trainer to the fiery spark has them pulling to each other and sliding in more ways than one. Which runner will cross the finish line first for their law firm and get bragging rights. this was a funny and good story, I laughed too hard in more than one spots, great read.

USA Today bestselling author Lainey Davis lives in Pittsburgh in the USA with her 3 feral sons, 2 rescued rabbits, and 1 tired husband. Her books feature brooding heroes, feisty heroines, steamy love scenes and happily ever afters.

Jenna Jacob

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hi gang! I’m Jenna Jacob. I write steamy BDSM, Rockstar, Cowboy, and sinful contemporary romance. I live in Kansas with my hunky husband (who’s somehow put up with me for 31 years). I love music, cooking, writing (of course), and coffee! I hate bell peppers, anchovies, and winter! LOL

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

it’s not so much the book, but always the first chapter. You have to set the scene, create the world, and introduce the key players without it turning into an info dump. It’s like dancing through a mine field sometimes!

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

Tapping into the character’s quirks helps a lot. I mean, nobody is perfect, right? I like discovering why – for instance – the hero hates bell peppers. (Because his mom always put them on pizza when he was growing up and it tainted the whole damn pie.) Or why the heroine doesn’t trust men. (Insert a million and one reasons some smooth-talking jerk hurt her in the past.)

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Let the emotions flow through you. Laugh. Scream. Cry. Squirm. Pant. Then grab your partner or toys, Kleenex, and chocolate when you’re finished writing the scene.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

Writing? Not nearly as much as I need to. Administrative tasks? More than you can imagine.

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

OMG, that’s like trying to pick a favorite child – impossible. I love them ALL!!!

What is your definition of success?

Someone telling me they love my stories.

#review #MM #instantattraction Tragedy of Jake and Felix by: J Daniels

Leave a comment

by J. Daniels (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
From New York Times bestselling author, J. Daniels, comes an all new sexy standalone romance.

They say the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.
They say the best way to stay sober is to love yourself.

I’m great at making bad decisions.
Addict? Check. Poor impulse control? Check. Obsessed with the guy I’m sponsoring? Check Check Check.
There is no one worse for me to want in my bed than Jake Tully. He’s hot and grumpy and literally a terrible idea. Terrible. Worse, no one has ever made me feel the way he does — valued. But here I am – thinking about him again.
Falling for my sponsor is not my worst idea yet, but it’s damn close.

Felix Fields is everything good. He’s thoughtful and kind. I can’t help but think about every bad thing we could do between these sheets.
But we can’t be together. I’m not willing to risk my recovery for anyone – even if he might be perfect for me.

Finding a love like this is nothing short of a tragedy.

**Author’s Note: This book ends in a Happily Ever After, but getting there isn’t easy.

Review by Twinsie Tenise

I’ve started and stopped 5 books in the past several weeks. I’m sure the books were great but nothing was keeping my intrest. Well nothing until I ran across this book. I was on social media and someone had mentioned it as a must read. I grabbed the book and it sat on my Kindle for a couple weeks then one day I opened it and other than the usual life interrupting my reading time, I couldn’t put it down.

In this book we meet 2 recovering addicts, Jake and Felix. They are both battling their own demons and doing their best to stay clean. With that being said, the worst thing they could do for their recovery is fall for each other…

This story wasn’t all hearts and flowers. It’s a tragic tale of what happens when 2 addicts meet and fall deep into one another. The Tragedy of Jake and Felix had all the things that make a book– the perfect book– in my opinion. I laughed, cried, I fell in love with Jake and Felix and their story of love and survival in a world that is hectic and ever changing. They have no one that believes in either of them so maybe being there for each other will be enough to get them through whatever metaphorical storms pass through in their lives. Even if some of the storms may be full on hurricanes.

J. Daniels is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Alabama Summer, Dirty Deeds and Sweet Addiction series, as well as her forbidden MM romance: The Tragedy of Felix and Jake.

Best known for her sexy, small-town romances, her debut novel, Sweet Addiction, was first published in 2014 and went on to become an international bestseller. Since then, she has published more than fifteen novels, including the Dirty Deeds series with Forever Romance.

Daniels grew up in Baltimore and currently lives in Maryland with her husband and three kids. A former full-time Radiologic Technologist, she began writing romance after college and quickly discovered a passion for it. You’ll still catch her in scrubs every now and then, but most of her time is spent writing these days—a career she is eternally grateful for.

Always an avid reader, Daniels enjoys books of all kinds, but favors Romance (of course) and Fantasy. She loves hiking, traveling, going to the mountains for the weekend, and spending time with her family.

Kimberly Readnour

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hello! I’m Kimberly Readnour writer of sports and small town romances. I flippin’ love romance and getting lost into fictional worlds. But did you know I first started in young adult? I wrote my first series for my daughter and never thought anyone else would read them. If you read any of my work and hate it, you can blame her for pushing me to publish. She kept after me for four years before I took the plunge. But my heart was always with romance, so after I completed the series for her, I switched genres and never looked back.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

For me, it’s harder to write the last book of the series. By the time I get to the last one, I’ve grown attached to the characters and hate letting go.

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

All the books in my series are standalones at the moment, so each couple has their own story. Then I try to mix it up with different tropes and such. I also bounce between sports and small town romances, so I don’t get burned out on one category.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

There is so much advice out there. You really need to find what works for you and not try to do everything that is told to you. Not all advice will work for you, except ending a romance book with a HEA. That’s a must.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

I still work full time, so my time is limited. I steal time in the morning before I leave for work and try to work on the story whenever there is downtime. And yes, I’m always late to work. lol. But I’m too drained by the time I come home to work during the evening, so morning it is!

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

I have so many, but I always fall back to Jax Carrigan from Swing for the Fences. He’s so patient with Jocelyn and takes her kids into consideration with every decision. They are perfect for each other despite the rough road it took to get there.

What is your definition of success?

Success to me means putting out books that people enjoy. If I can bring joy to people or make them feel, then I’ve done my job.

Do you have anything you want to share that didn’t fit on one of these questions?

Thanks for having me join this year! I’m looking forward to this signing.

#mmromance #oppositesattract #agegap —Daddy Ink by: Ali Lydia

Leave a comment

He’s raising a baby, not looking for love …

I don’t want a serious relationship, and certainly not with the single dad next door. But one look at Gordo? I’m smitten. Even though I might be a tough looking tattoo artist, I know that the ink does a lot to hide my own insecurities. It doesn’t matter how much Gordo seems to like me – I can’t bring myself to make a move.

Talking has never come easy to me – and I mean that literally. But Gordo doesn’t seem fazed by my speech problems or the mess in my head, and soon we’re forming a deep connection. But I learned a long time ago that nothing lasts forever … and when a blast from Gordo’s past shows up, it proves that everything was too good to be true.

At least, that’s what the old me would say. This time, I know that Gordo and his little baby are worth fighting for. I’m willing to walk through fire to get what I want. But can a tattoo artist with a checkered past really be any guy’s happily ever after?

Daddy Ink is the first of the Get Ink’d m/m romance series. The Get Ink’d crew are misfits from all walks of life who come together to create amazing art. They’re a family born of love, loss, and ink. In this first in series, ambitious single dad Gordo has met his match in heavily inked Javi, and sparks are ready to fly.

Review by Twinsie Tenise

Gordo is a recently divorced single father of an infant. An extremely tired single father who would just love a little sleep. Sleep with a newborn is difficult. Add in a neighbor who likes to have loud nightly parties and sleep is next to impossible. It’s time for Gordo to go next door and say something.
Ravi is the single, sexy, tattooed up, artist next door. After the visit from his neighbor, Ravi was left a bit bewildered by the entire interaction but especially his immediate pull towards the other man. The other man who is his very mad new neighbor with an adorable baby girl. All Ravi has ever wanted was a family to love him. He could have that with Gordo and Baby G but people like Ravi do not get happily ever afters. Or so he keeps telling himself.

Oh my heart! Both of these men were dealing with pasts and also some current problems. And both men, in my opinion, were being giant dummies! YEAH! I blazed through this book on a Saturday. My page flips becoming quicker as my irritation with the 2 of them grew! Like- OPEN YOUR EYES GUYS!!!
But I digress…
I thoroughly enjoyed this book despite the above rant. I look forward to reading the next in the series. There were hints about the next couple in this book and I’m very curious as to what is going on there.

I’ve tried but couldn’t find much information on this particular author. I do love their work though. If anyone sees this who knows Ali Lyda, please pass that along for me.
Thanks, Twinsie Tenise 😘

Cheryl Brooks I was born in Louisville, KY, and am married with two sons. We moved to a farm in Indiana in 1989, where I raised horses for a while. I still have my first foal, who is now 24 years old. I was a critical care nurse for about 35 years, and have been writing off and on for most of my life. I was first published in 2008 and now have 38 published works. I am currently working on #39.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

They’re all hard. In the first book, you have to establish a world, then you have to be consistent with it in the subsequent books.

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

Because each book was written during a different time in my life, my focus changed with the times and my ever increasing age.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

For the most part, you get out of writing what you put into it.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

Not nearly as much as I used to. It tends to come in spurts, and for some strange reason, I seem to have less time to write than when I was younger and working full time.

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

Onca in Rebel. He’s perhaps the only one of my characters who demanded that their story be told.

What is your definition of success?

Getting published (traditionally) was the biggie. Finding my book in Barnes & Noble was pretty awesome!
