Set in ancient Rome, Britannia, and modern day Italy, The Immortal Scrolls is an irresistible love story you won't want to put down!

My Review

Kristin Secorsky has written a wonderful story that has so much going for it.  She has written a story line that makes you keep reading, there is so many questions you want answered (who is Skye) why can't she remember, Will she still want Androcles after she realizes who she is to him.
Kristin has a talent for bring  the ancient history of the story an bring it forward to modern times without it being confusing. This book  also has steamy sex, tons of action, jealousy, hidden secrets which will having you go OMG. Nothing says fulfilling story like Vampires, Werewolves, Gladiators, Fairies and Ancient times. I finished this story in one setting and have reread it a couple times since. It is a great book and I look  forward to more from this up and coming author. 

I rate this a 4 out of 5

An Adventure at the Fredrick Book Festival

So I did my first out of state Book Festival... I went to the Fredrick Book Festival in Fredrick, Maryland it was the first year for it. So here is how my day went

I woke up super early and left the house at 2:15 am cause i was worried about traffic and didn't really know where I was going... I live in Fayetteville, NC so my trusty Goggle Maps said 5 hours and 50 minute drive. I stopped for coffee around 5... There was some Mocha Energy Cappuccino Coffee... Didn't know if it truly gave me Energy but It tasted Awesome for Gas Station Coffee lol.

I didn't have any problems till I was just about to Fredrick, Maryland I had a map and my GPS(do not count on GPS as it had me do a U-turn when there was nowhere do do a U-turn) but the phone gremlins finally agreed to let me find my destination after we too a detour in the hills. I saw this stop in this Scenic Stop...

 I am a history Buff and I was not and I quote "Allowed to stop at the Marine Corps Museum without Mike" Mike is hubby for those who don't know. I drove past it twice. It was hard not to stop as it is one of the places we want to go to.

I finally got to the Fredrick Book Festival about 8:45am it started at 9 am... I am one of those who like to be  on time if possible as in my mind it gives me more time to talk to everyone. The day started out with promise, then it got a little chilly... Wasn't prepared for the Maryland weather as I had 90 degree weather in NC the day before.
I stopped at each persons table and chatted it up. I of course started with Ranae Rose and Carrie Ann Ryan as I had gifts for them. It was so awesome to meet them and they were super nice and down to earth. They shared a table with Gabrielle Bisset who was very engaging and I was in total awe. Here is a picture of their totally awesome set up.

I also chatted with Avery Flynn and Elisabeth Staab, they both funny and wonderful ladies. Here is a picture of Me, Avery & Elisabeth

Those are the only pictures i have from the Festival as I was so busy talking with all the wonderful authors and of course I was so excited to meet Joy of Joyfully Reviewed... Confused me at first cause she was missing her bunny ears... But chatted with her later Bunny Ears in all.

I came away with a bunch of books and a bunch of Swag... Some for my monthly giveaways(That's for you followers), some for review, some from just me... Over all it was a great day... Even though i had a 6 hour rainy drive back home... Hubby let me sleep pretty much all day... I am not feeling to good woke up stuffed up, coughing, and having a fever. Anyhow here is a picture of the books and Swag.

Paper Back Books By Elisabeth Staab, Patrice Lyle, Gabrielle Bisset, Carrie Ann Ryan, Antho, PJ Schyder, Rob Gutro, Ranae Rose, & Eliza Knight. I also got a bought a bunch of ebooks:)

This was the first year for the Fredrick Book Festival... I know I plan on going next year.

Finding Hope:Pool of Souls 2 By Krystal Shannan

Finding Hope: Pool of Souls 2 By: Krystal Shannan

Description

Warning: The plot thickens with a passel of pissed off Olympians. Ares and Aphrodite are in for a double dose of trouble! More Olympians join the mix in Finding Hope: Pool of Souls Book 2. A jewel addict, a kick-ass possibly-virgin huntress, and an insatiable ancient oracle are just a few. But don’t worry; Ares and Aphrodite are still front and center.

Addison Connelly has given up on men. She is disappointed yet again when her best friend tries to play matchmaker, and the match falls flat…or does it? Her friend knows all Addison needs is a chance, a little hope, and maybe a dropkick in the right direction. With an extra push from Aphrodite, will this lonely soul learn to trust again? Or will she run from the only man who could make her happy?

Adrian Colter, Nashville Police Detective and certifiable bachelor, puts his foot in his mouth in a big way when his roommate’s fiancé tries to match him up with her best friend. After making a horrible first impression, can he earn the trust of a woman who won’t speak a civil word to him? 

Adrian isn’t the only one trying to earn the trust of a beautiful woman. While Ares fights to rebuild the trust he lost thousands of years ago with the Goddess of Love, his parents do what they do best —show off their greed and selfishness. Will he find the hope and forgiveness he so desperate seeks or will his parents destroy his chance at happiness?

My Review

Finding Hope has me loving Aphrodite and Ares even more.

There are major trust issues between them and of course Ares Parents (Hera and Zeus) are meddling in things they don't understand. We find out how Ares broke Aphrodite's trust and I can not express how i was like OMG no way. Its pretty good. This book continues with Aphrodite connecting soul mates and this time it isn't so easy as she does have to ask for a little help with Addison and Adrian.

Addison is a firecracker I love her, she is the type of best friend that all girls want to have. That poor girl goes though so much in such a short time. Lost, Doubt, Kidnapping,and so much more. 

Adrian is cocky and doesn't think before he speaks i love how Addison puts him in place. He is afraid of being set up with a no brained ditz who loves nothing but looking good and shoe...Yeah Addison isn't like that at all. He doesn't know how to express himself and finds himself putting his foot in his mouth a lot.

Then there all the craziness that is happening cause of Hera(Evil Heifer) stealing something that doesn't belong to her. Causing Aphrodite to grow weak and Ares to become pissed(Not a good thing for his minions). Athena is introduced in the book and I have to say I love her,She really steps up and is kinda awesome.. I want to know more about her. 

This book has everything Soul Mates, Hope, Ass kickin, Steamy Sex, Action, Drama... I couldn't put it down. 

Krystal did not leave me hangin to bad in this book(Thank you)... She gives you an idea about what is next for Ares and Athena... Have to say I Can not wait for the next book..Because if what i want to happen is gonna happen..Oh Happy Day. 

I Rate this book a 5 out of 5

ARC Review Surrender Your Love By J.C Reed

Surrender Your Love by: J.C Reed 

Description

Meeting Jett was like lightning. Dangerous. Better left untouched. And better forgotten. But lightning always strikes twice.

Brooke Stewart, a realtor in New York, doesn’t do relationships. When she’s sent to a remote estate to finalize a real estate deal, she discovers her new boss is no other than the guy she left naked in bed.

Sexy, dangerously handsome, and arrogant Jett Mayfield attracts trouble, and women, like a lightning rod. But the night he meets Brooke he gets more than he bargained for. The green-eyed millionaire playboy isn’t used to taking no for an answer, and he isn’t about to start now.

When he proposes two months of no strings sex, Brooke is intrigued and accepts his proposal. Little does she know Jett’s determined to claim the one woman he can’t have, pulling her deeper into his dangerous world.

A man who doesn't take 'no' for an answer.
A woman afraid to surrender to love.
Two lives that are about to cross...and secrets laid bare.

My Review

First I have to say this is such a sexy cover and fits the book... I have to warn you this is a cliff hanger book... Which made me go damn it i want to read more, and believe me you will want more. This book has a lot going on in it, but it is very well written, has a little bit of everything, and the sex scenes are hot.

I have to say I loved this book. Brooke is a hard working, smart, everyday woman who doesn't deal with much b.s from anyone... She meets Jett when he headhunts her for his company(not knowing she is headhunted)... He doesn't tell her who she is when they first meet and she thinks he is kind of an ass.  Even though she is attracted to him.  I agree he is an ass, late, cocky, and hotter then sin. Jett is used to getting whats and not used to be told no.  

I have to say i was totally falling for Jett along with Brooke. Their time in Italy is great and makes you think this is going so good what can go wrong they are falling for each other and the sex is awesome. Even though Jett tends to get standoffish at times, and there seems to be shady things going on. The shields around both their hearts are slowly breaking down and they head back to the States in love with each other.

I don't want to spoil anything because i love love this book so i will tell you that J.C. Reed has a talent for keeping you guessing and then bam hitting you with a gut shot... That what the end of this book was a gut shot and cliff hanger that made me go OMG, what an asshole, nooooooo I want to keep reading. 

I can not wait for the sequel to this book... J.C. Reed is a new author who has a great future in front of her because if this book is the start i can't wait to see what else she has in her bag of tricks. 

* I received an ARC of this book from the author for my honest review.

I Rate this book 5 out of 5
