Investigating the Hottie & Undercover with the Hottie by Juli Alexander---Book Review

I stumbled upon this author through Book Bub those of you who have kindles should try this email program out.

Juli Alexanders writing technique is pretty dang good.  I would try and put the book down, and it would keep whispering to me to read more.  Such a dilemma.

The story is based on Amanda a shy but cute girl who goes to visit her aunt Christie whom she finds out is a spy.  The author brought a lot of adventure, drama, and crazy antics into these books.  Yes even see some romance, and flirting.  Amanda will find out "Investigating the Hottie" brings her closer to him than she ever expected.

The second book in the "Investigating" series you see just how far Amanda and the Hottie have made it, and lord help me the action in this book is pretty dang insane.  I really loved the way the characters were placed in pretty sticky situations. It's been really fun reading for sure.

 I would say the series would even make a pretty decent TV series if that says anything. She's got a great series on her hands.  I personally can't wait until Nov/Dec for the next book to release.

It's perfect for young adult, older teens, and those of us in the middle age group..... :( yes I said middle age.

Liar "Scarab Beetle Series" by C.L.Stone Book Review

I know I am a little late getting this book review up.  Between work & home its been a busy summer.  What can I say!

I will have to say that I adore C.L. Stone, and I love both her book series.  This book is action packed, and lord help me I fall in love with the guys.  There is one steamy part in this book I will not ruin it you HAVE TO READ IT FOR YOURSELF.  :)  I love that C.L. Stone can just draw you into a book, and let your imagination take you on a joyride.  She did bring back the bad guy from the first book.  Or is he really a bad guy?  You'll just have to see for yourself.  The guys in this book are totally swoon worthy!  Who am I kidding though the guys from "Ghost Bird" are equally dreamy.  This author has totally got me strung up on both series.  I can't help it.  

So in conclusion--hot guys, steamy scenes, and action you can't go wrong!  However, not for teens or children!  Get yourself submerged into this authors books.  You won't regret it.


If you would like your copy of this book please click the picture below it will take you straight to it!

Alpha by Jasinda Wilder Book Review

I just can't put into words how enthralling this book was.

What would you do if you mysteriously received a check for $10,000; cash it or tear it up?

This is the decision that Layla had to make.  So what would your decision be?  Welcome to the book ALPHA by Jasinda Wilder.  Yes I know you're interested I can see your gears rolling......

This book was by one of my favorite authors, but I won't let her fool you-it was not in my normal genre.

Alpha made me blush, and made me swoon.  That being said girls, this book isn't for the faint of heart.  It has some steaminess that will make you sweat!  The mysterious benefactor and the beautiful, dependent, stubborn female lead was a perfect match up of characters.  I need me some ROTH!  The storyline is to me a great mix of romance, sex, and adventure.  So again, not for the girls that can't handle a bit of sexual content; to say the least.

To those of you that made it past my first paragraph well you just need to hang on to your drawers, grab your kindle, and order this book.  Indulge in some fun!  Layla's & Roth storyline is amazing.  You will start this book, and not want to put it down.  I sure didn't.  So I recommend if you can get over the sexual content that you grab this book, and read away.  This is not recommended for children or teens.




So girls if you are ready to jump into Alpha click the picture below and get your copy:



You can also pre-order your copy of the 2nd book in the series Beta by clicking the picture below:

Game of Love--The Remingtons by Melissa Foster

Thank you Melissa Foster for writing such a great love story.

To start off this review I want to apologize for taking so long since my last blog post.  Now, on to the good stuff.

The characters within this book series are diverse, and have great depth to them.  In this part of the grand series "Love in Bloom" which has many separate series branches you will meet "The Remingtons".  The main characters of "Game of Love" Ellie & Dex by far are the couple that will just make you want to root for them till the end.  Ellie's background of being tossed around from foster family to foster family, and Dex's past with his dad you just can't help but to want to push them together.The story-line of the first book of "The Remingtons" part of "Love in Bloom" leaves you wanting to find out where the story goes with these two, and the others they relate to within within the book--such as Mitch--the chunky but awesome computer nerd, and Regina the tattoo rebel without a cause chic with a protective heart.

If you have followed my blog for a while you'll know I don't really ever give out to much of the story behind the book.  I prefer that you take the time as I did.  Read because it keeps your brain active, and its a great way to drop the world issues, and just relax.

Melissa Foster is a great author I have loved every book I have read that she has put out.  If I could afford to buy all her books I would.  If your in the mood for romance, and a relaxing read this book is a must.  That being said there is a warning of adult content.  :)  So I would recommend these series for those adults among us.


Happy reading & a blessed day--

Gena

Push And Shove Book #6 of by C.L.Stone Book Review

All I have to say is C.L. Stone has by all means joined my top 10 authors.  In fact she’s pretty much #1 in my list.  The latest book in the “Ghost Bird” series was amazeballs.  Yes, I SAID AMAZEBALLS.  I finished the book at 10:30pm last night.  OMG, then I couldn’t get my brain to slow down to go to sleep.  So that zombie state I am in today is all on her.

If you’ve been following her series so far you know that you have to get this newest edition.  I am definitely not a spoiler so I will not tell you a thing that will spoil the really good stuff.  The guys definitely step it up in “Push & Shove”, and they sure as heck start showing more responsiveness to Sang.  I think I may have fell a little more in love with Sean & Owen aka Dr. Green & Mr. Blackbourne.  Who am I kidding I think I fall in love with each one of them in every book.

I can’t put into words how much I adore the writing style of C.L. Stone, and her book series about “ The Academy”.  This book series is mean for YA & New Adult, and honestly as a 39 year old woman it makes sense in either genre.  There are no sex scenes within the book series as of yet.  Not to say that’s not to happen in future editions of the series.  I can’t wait to see how the books progress through the lives of the boys of “The Academy”, and Sang. 

The newest books for “Ghost Bird” & “The Scarab Beetle” are due out in the fall.  I just may have to re-read the series again before then.  Stop rewind.  Yep and do it again.  That’s how much I like this series. 

If you haven't already purchased the book you can simply click the picture below to be taken straight to it!!



Happy Reading & Summer love—

How's this smile? Braces update (heavy on the pictures)

Okay y'all do not laugh I am not the cutest thing out there.  I did this fast little picture after cleaning my dirty face for the day.  You ladies out there know that you have to do that to stay young forever right?!?

So I had my first bracket break loose from a tooth this past month.  That was a whole lot of fun!  Let's just say as much as I love to talk that bracket just moved from side to side banging around, and spinning around my wire.  It didn't hurt nearly as bad as I thought it would when I got it adhered back to the tooth the following day, but made eating a blast.

At this time I have decided to hold off on the surgery to fix my jaw alignment.  Due to a miscarriage I had in March which was a miracle & blessing for us after years of trying it was good to know I could become pregnant.  We  are currently working with my obgyn to help with conception, but that is a whole other blog topic.

I am going to post a before smile(not great at smiling), and a current picture.  I tell you this will be an awesome journey for me.


Before Braces were put on.

This is the day I had braces put on.




These two are from today.  I had to do a close up to show how much movement has happened.





But to show it a little better how about a side by side of the two that show my smile---




So there you have it.  In June I am already assured there will be even more teeth movement with a new wire going in.  I have a few years of these to go I believe 2017 is the year that I will last have them on.  

So tell me---what do you think?

Pretty smiles & all that Jazz

Gena
