AUTHOR BIO

 

Lesley Jones was born and raised in Essex, England but moved to Australia in 2006 with her family. Her first book, Saviour, was published in 2013 and she quickly gained a reputation as a writer of gritty, down to earth characters, involved in angsty and emotional plot lines. Carnage, her third novel, made a number of lists, and won a number of awards for ‘Best Ugly Cry’. Her readers love the fact that she can switch her stories from hot and steamy, to snot bubble ugly crying, followed by laugh out loud moments, in the space of a few sentences. She has declared that the very best part of her job is meeting her readers and has travelled the world a number of times over the past few years to do exactly that. Lesley is a big fan of wearing pyjamas at any time of day, but not a fan of wearing a bra, unless absolutely necessary.
 
When not writing, she has admitted to being a prolific reader, getting through around four or five books a week. She is a fan of trashy reality TV, listening to music, watching her son play football, spicy food and enjoys a glass of wine… or three.

REVIEW 

When a book starts with...

'He’s one of the world’s most eligible billionaires, tall, hot, royal, and ripped, and he just drunk-married a stranger in Las Vegas'. 

you know you are in for a great read, with some 😂 moments, some 😍 and some 😳.

I read this in one sitting, and I need the next book NOW 🤩😂, I Don't like cliffhangers but when it comes to Blair's books, I know it isn't a long wait, so I dive right in.

If you like 

📍Slooow burn chemistry 

📍Royal shenanigans 

📍Insta-MARRIED Hot, tall, 

📍 interconnected series with more Easter eggs on every reread

🖊️what's the book about...

Nicolai Romanov drunk-married Lexi, a recently dumped at the alter by an absolute A🕳️, who then blames her for it all (that scene was just so real, I was totally there with Lexi as she went from confused to horrified, as her so called found family just dumps her - with the bill, and runs leaving her jobless, broke and no way to get home to Nebraska.)

With what little she had, she falls back on her drama skills ( a really neat way to earn her super) which then puts her outside the Billionaire Sanctuary private club. 

What starts out with her just trying to keep a hot drunk dude with sad eyes from getting ripped off (or 😵 in an alley with all his 💰💵 taken, which he'd dropped in her case) 

what starts out with her good Samaritan moment, ends with a livestreamed  wedding on social media, viewed by thousands, including the Russian organized crime boss who’d had plans for Nicolai, and the Russian government that keeps tabs on people who might want to claim the rightful crown...

OMG maybe I'll read it again, and see if I spot some more Easter eggs,😉

AUTHOR INFO 

Blair Babylon is an award-winning, USA Today bestselling author who used to publish literary fiction. Because professional reviews of her other fiction usually included the caveat that there was too much deviant sex and too much interesting plot, she decided to abandon all literary pretensions, let her freak flag fly, and write hot, sexy, suspenseful romance.

Review 

Journey To Sunrise by Caitlyn O'Leary
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ms. O'Leary draws the reader into the pain and despair of trauma.
And how Zaraks determination and compassion helped to get Chloe back on the road to recovery.

I have read the original novella 'Tempting Fire's, which was written in 'Kindle World's ' and was unpublished, and now updated. ( l previously rated it 3 Stars)

I think for a more immersive read, reading 'Evie and Aiden's' story from the Midnight Delta series - Her Relentless Seal ' would work well.

That book has always stuck in my memory because it was such a highly suspenseful storyline.

dealing with PTSD and depression and anxiety, isn't a good subject to weave into a romance, but Ms. O'Leary draws the reader into Chloe's situation without making light of the struggle she had, to understand how she had allowed herself to get so low. (depression creeps in unnoticed sometimes)
Also Zaraks determination to be patient but firm, and the way he would reframe his suggestions to how she would deal with him, was really good.

The Parts where the ' Avery Avalanche ' tries to take over were also my favorites, the Avery family are one of my favorite character families in Ms O'Leary's books, a family who have risen from their harsh beginnings, to become tough, but harshly loyal to their siblings.

this is a backstory which will lead into another book of how Chloe and Zaraks relationship so I can't wait to catch up with Chloe and Zarek later in their lives in Her Unending Horizon (Jasper Creek Book 7).

Review Release: A Tempting Seduction by Caitlyn O'Leary

 

A Tempting Seduction by Caitlyn O'Leary
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I've said before on other books in this series, that I love Jasper Creek, the characters, especially little a grandma... I had a little Nana who was pretty much her description, but she died when I was younger.

I have a mother in law who is exactly what little grandma is like and I hope she lives into her centenary years 🙏.

so into the actual book characters, Ford and Ruby 😍

Ruby's past was something that was touched on at the beginning, but as the story developed, we understand that there is more to her story, her growth once she moved to Jasper Creek was organic, I liked the way Ms O'Leary introduced the characters from the town ( and other books) to help Ruby heal and grow... it takes a village... 😍🫂.

when she finally allowed Ford to court her, it was just beautiful ❤️.

the story was just a pleasure to read, the story gets more suspenseful as the past is revealed, with the team at Onyx Security coming to help too.

overall a wonderful small town romance with Ms O'Leary bringing the suspense and action as per her other excellent books.

I'm quite sad that I finished the Book, but another one is out soon... 🤩.

I can't wait 🫸🫷

Review Release blitz: RODEO RIVALS By Victoria Jayne

Blurb

 All is fair in love and rodeo.

As the second woman in history to qualify to ride rough stock professionally, McKayla dreamed of making a name for herself. Trailblazers allowed nothing to get in their way, and neither would she.

Fresh off an injury, Wyatt returned to the arena with a vengeance, focused on winning. As a champion on the rise, there was no room for distractions. Not even the woman who bucked like a bronco between the sheets. 

Their one-night stand turned into a heated rivalry. Who will win the title? And at what cost to their hearts?

 Review

Rodeo Rivals by Victoria Jayne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This Novella was a change of pace for me, we have Rodeo in NZ too, so I have been to them, here and in Australia.
The story is mainly focused on the two main characters McKayla and Wyatt.
Not much of the actual rodeo life is given, although we do get to experience McKayla's first 8 second ride.
The romance was quite steamy, l thought the scene in the campervan was believable (those tables are handy 😉)
All in all an enjoyable novella that has me wishing I was back at a rodeo with the excitement and smell of horses, dust and hay 😊.
And of course, the pair beat Seth 😆 so a happy ending all round 💞
