Holly

Growing up, I was treated like a Princess.

But everyone knows, to get your happily ever after, you have to fight for the fairy-tale.

And I’d certainly endured more than my fair share of fights.

Relentlessly bullied at boarding school, my brothers brought me home to help me heal.

But I was scarred by the secrets I harboured, both inside and out.

Being home though, means risking everyone finding out my ugly truth.

And I can’t let that happen.

Jack

My family's a mess.

It's probably why I spend more nights asleep in my ute, than I do in my own bed.

I don't have the time or the energy to deal with anything more.

One day at a time is all I can handle right now.

Yet when I see her, the broken girl sitting alone in the dirt, I can't simply drive past.

Before I know what's happening my life's tangled with my tortured, beautiful neighbour.

And there's nowhere else I'd rather be.

Review

Fighting Back by Rebecca Barber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

**I voluntarily reviewed this book for Katsindiebookblog, and I gained no monetary incentives nor was I specifically requested to review the book.** This is such a great book that shows a lot of what society is going through these days. Holly is home from boarding school, and no one really knows why, other than something terrible had happened to her. Her family and brothers are trying to give her the space and time she needs, but is there really a time frame on that? Being pushed back into school, she runs into a boy named Jack. Jack seems like a great guy, however he seems like the catch for all the other girls in the school. What most people don't know, Jack is going through his own personal issues.

Two lost souls seem to collide together, possibly mending each other's hearts.

This story was greatly written. Expect a few tears here and there. I highly recommend this book.

Author Bio

I’m just me. A clumsy, introverted, bubble bath loving, chocoholic who would rather read a book than go shopping. And god forbid if you try and make me shoe shop!

I’m one of four kids to school teacher parents. A wife to a football obsessed husband. Mother to a fur-baby who isn’t aware of how big he is. Aunt to the most crazy/adorable little girls. And sister to two very determined sisters and one easy going brother.

I live in Canberra Australia and work too many hours a day at my day job.

I’m a book whore who can easily (and happily) read a book from start to finish in a day and when I do have spare time, you’ll find me in the writing cave.

Jenni's rating: 5 of 5 stars

**I voluntarily reviewed this book for Katsindiebookblog, and I gained no monetary incentives nor was I specifically requested to review the book.** This was such a great book to read. You can easily feel all the emotions the characters are feeling, like you are in the book yourself. Kim is a widow and single mother of a teen boy, Jimmy. While trying to find an outlet for her son, he joins the wrestling team. Well, the team has one sexy coach that all the moms have seemed to notice, however he is on the young side. The coach, Chance, only seems to have his eyes on one mom in particular, Jimmy's mom. Chance is taking Jimmy under his wing and trying to make him a great wrestler, but in doing so, he gets some time with his mom as well.
Can these two put the age difference aside and become a couple? What would her son think and feel about her dating his coach? Many questions come into play in this story, but will love always prevail?
This is a must read book!

Blood and Secrets by Rose Harper

Jenni's rating: 4 of 5 stars

**I voluntarily reviewed this book for Katsindiebookblog, and I gained no monetary incentives nor was I specifically requested to review the book.** I love me a good mafia book, and this one did not disappoint. I'm highly looking forward to the next one that comes out. You get left with a huge twist at the end of this book.

Mateo is set to wed Carina, a contract that was put in place years ago, something to bond the families together. Even though they haven't married, Mateo is still going to protect what is meant to be his, so when Carina suffers with some injuries, he does what he can to help her. There is some instant chemistry in play, but it's more of a love hate relationship.

This book was written well, a few surprises, especially at the end. If you love some hot, sexy mafia men, I would most definitely recommend this book!

Title: Anonymous

Standalone

Author: L.P. Dover

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: April 23, 2018

Blurb

Every person has a story to tell. Some may be sweet with a happily ever after, but there are others that end in tragedy. Mine has yet to be finished. My name is Elizabeth Kingston and this is where my story begins.

I never thought my life could be so perfect. I have an amazing job owning my own bakery, and a wonderful husband who I love and who loves me back. Never once did I have to worry about anything, at least, not until the texts started coming in. They always begin the same way … numbers that spell my nickname when read upside down.

31773

It’s someone from my past, only they won’t to tell me who they are, but that by talking to them, I’ll figure it out. It’s a game I refuse to play. Unfortunately, I’m left with no choice when things begin to take a dangerous turn. His name is Anonymous and there’s only one thing he wants … ME.

**I voluntarily reviewed this book for Katsindiebookblog, and I gained no monetary incentives nor was I specifically requested to review the book.** WoW! This was such a great, suspenseful book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. The only downfall, I read it too quick, I just couldn't put it down!

Elizabeth and Jake are a happily married couple, nothing but time ahead of them. Both working on great careers. Jake, a retired MMA fighter turned architect, while Elizabeth loving her bakery. Out of nowhere, Elizabeth starts getting text, thinking it may be an old friend from the past trying to reconnect, it quickly turns sour. Threats among others things are starting to happen, which makes them start putting 2 and 2 together. Their best friend Owen, who's an undercover agent, pulls all his resources to help out his dear friends. However, will it be enough? Are their lives safe once they get someone into custody? Or are they looking at a wrong angle? If you love suspenseful, who done it books, I highly recommend this. The story is excellent as well as the writing!

Excerpt

It’s closing time and Vikki and I are busy cleaning, so we can get home. My phone beeps with an incoming text and I look down at it and growl. “You can’t be serious.” Staring back at me isn’t a text from Jake, but from Anonymous. Even though I deleted and blocked the number ninety days ago, I still recognize it.

Vikki moves closer, her eyes wide. “What’s going on?”

I show her the text.

Anonymous: 31773?

Brows furrowed, she sits back. “What does that mean?” I turn my phone upside down, so she can see that the number spells out my name. Her eyes widen. “Wow, that’s cool you can type your name with numbers.”

“But not so cool when I don’t know who the person is,” I counter. “About three months ago, I got texts from this exact same person. Whoever it is likes to play games. I’m sick of it and I want them to leave me alone.” Taking a deep breath, I type out a reply.

Me: WHO IS THIS?

Anonymous: Why all the yelling?

I roll my eyes. This is just ridiculous.

Me: I like using all caps.

Anonymous: Don’t stop on my account. So, what have you been up to? Been a while since we talked.

Me: Yeah, it’s because I blocked the number.

Anonymous: Why?

Me: BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!!

“What is he saying?” Vikki asks. I show her the texts and her eyes widen. “So, you haven’t talked to him since you blocked the number?”

I think back to when I blocked it and if my calculations are correct, the ninety days was up yesterday. “No, but he has perfect timing. My ninety days ran up yesterday. I might need to run to the cell store and see if they can block it permanently.”

My phone beeps again and a sharp pain settles in my gut. I just want whoever it is to leave me alone.

Anonymous: That hurts. You’ve always been friendly toward me.

Me: Obviously not friendly enough, if you can’t tell me who you are. It’s weird and it makes me uncomfortable. You need to leave me the hell alone. Don’t text, call, or try to contact me in any way. I’m happily married, and I want it to stay that way. GOODBYE!

Heart racing, I log into my cell phone account and before I can block the number, another text comes through.

Anonymous: Sorry 31773 but that’s not going to happen.

The blood in my veins runs cold. Hands shaking, I block his number and my phone drops onto the table. Vikki picks it up and reads the final text, her face growing pale.

“I don’t think this person’s going away."

Title: Her Wicked Hero 

Author: Caitlyn O’Leary 

Genre: Military Romance/Military Romance Suspense 

Release Date: April 17, 2018 

Cover Designer: Lori Jackson Designs 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC. 

ONE LOOK AND HE WAS HOOKED A photograph.  A feeling. A knowing.  That’s all it took for Dante “Zed” Zaragoza to realize his fate was intertwined with a woman he’d never met.  Now it was up to him to find Marcia Price and bring her home safely.  Thankfully for Marcia he’s temporarily part of the Black Dawn SEAL team, who are on the hunt to locate eleven people whose yacht had gone missing in the South China Sea.  A photograph means she’s alive…for now. 

SHE NEEDED A HERO Marcia Price realized she was in the hands of a monster as she was dragged deeper and deeper into the jungle. She wanted to give up so many times but dammit, no matter what, she would survive this even if it almost killed her.  And maybe, just maybe, the universe would send her a hero. 

HE’LL MOVE HEAVEN & EARTH Zed’s blood turned to ice the moment he found out the history of the man who had Marcia in his grip. He wasn’t just a sociopath, he’d been trained as a SEAL.  And that was only the beginning.  Zed would need every tool in his arsenal if he and Marcia were going to get out of there alive…

 

 

Review

Her Wicked Hero by Caitlyn O'Leary

Kat's rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book, Dante ‘Zed’ Zaragoza is a character that was introduced in Book 3, which I also enjoyed very much, well I have found I have enjoyed all of the books I’ve read that Ms O’Leary has written, the writing, characters and worldbuilding transport you away, to where Hero’s exist. Marcia was a tough cookie, calm under pressure, but she didn’t mind a helping hand, as long as Zed understood, she was capable of looking after herself.

The storyline kept me turning the pages, plenty of twists and turns to keep me entertained. But the spark between Zed and Marcia really had me hooked, they were just a great team together.

If you enjoy books with a military theme, then you will enjoy reading this series, I know I did and I look forward to more of the Black Dawn team in the near future.

*** This review is my honest opinion, I have not received any compensation for reviewing it, it's just my thoughts after reading and I hope you found my thoughts useful***
