Title: Gideon’s Promise
Author: Morgana Phoenix 
Genre: NA Paranormal

Blurb:His love will become her curse.

For centuries, Gideon has kept his secret, knowing that it could mean the life of the woman whose very heartbeat was his reason for living. But when Veil Creatures are slaughtered in their homes by those sworn to protect them, it may be up to him to save those he loves from a fate worse than death. What he doesn’t expect is the betrayal and a choice that could leave his family devastated.

Valkyrie Devereaux believes only in the power of justice, loyalty and obeying the laws of her people. Love was something to be feared and she had been taught long ago that anything that could make you weak, needed to be eliminated. But when she is assigned to join the Casters of the north in hunting down the creatures killing the innocent, even she can’t help the twang of longing for something that goes against everything she was raised to believe was wrong.

Like fire and gasoline, passions collide. Heat erupts as they fight against their desires and their very nature. But a fire like theirs can never be smothered. It can never be stopped. It can only burn to unimaginable heights, but what happens when it careens out of control and destroys everything around them? And who is waiting for that exact moment to destroy the brothers?

She will become his death.

Review

This series gets better and better.  The Gloves Off series has become one of my favorite series of all time.  I will continually go back and reread them and never stop loving them.  These fighters have become my fighters.  I feel like I have known them for a long time.  I feel like I know them and I love that.  I loved how we got dual POVs with this book so we get Brooklyn's POV as well as Camden's.  And let's face it, we all want to know what is going on in Camden's head.  It was great to finally see and understand what makes him tick.  I was able to understand and connect with him now.  The poor guy just wanted to be loved.  

Camden's Redemption has become one of my favorites in this book series!!!  Camden has popped up on several of the other books and you love him then hate him.  But now, in his own book, you can't help to go back to loving him.  I was so happy to go on Camden's journey with him and see him change for the good.  He let jealousy and insecurity knock him down, but he got himself together again.  He regretted everything that he did and who he became that he couldn't see anything but a monster.  But Brooklyn looked past the scars and saw Camden for who he truly was.  After watching him for months, she saw the changes he made.  She knew him better than anyone. 

Camden basically lived from town to town.  He is on the run hiding from Scar so he is unable to stay in a town for too long.  Camden isn't a coward.  He actually wants to go back and face it head on, but the friends he does have, won't let him.  And little does he know, he has been under surveillance the whole time.  Brooklyn has been watching and protecting him for over 4 months.  She has also been keeping him out of trouble and keeping the women away.  That was hilarious!!!  When they finally meet, sparks fly.  But in their own way, they fight it.  When all the secrets come out, Brooklyn vows to always protect Camden with her life.  He refuses to the let that happen and does what he thinks is best for Brooklyn and leaves.  But Brooklyn hunts him down and lets him have it.  Let's just say they are perfect for each other.

Camden's Redemption took was a fantastic book from start to finish.  It was completely epic and left me wanting more.  I want to see him when their little bundle of joy comes and see him experience that all for the first time.  I love seeing Camden so protective over Brooklyn especially after they found out this news.  So I want more!!!!  This book had a lot of surprise and shockers.  I had a feeling who the villain was since it is always the one you least suspect and I was right!!!  This was an AMAZING story and I highly recommend it!!!  It is a MUST read everyone!!!!

Blog Tour: The Jeweler by Beck Anderson




Adult Contemporary Romance 
Published by Omnific Publishing


Synopsis

Fender Barnes profits from an institution he doesn’t believe in: marriage. He’s a talented designer, but a reluctant jewelry store owner, thanks to his pop’s retirement. He’s cynical, he’s jaded, he’s not entirely certain about the concept of love, but he’s happy to sell an eager young guy an engagement ring for his fiancée to be—until moments after the transaction when that eager guy is hit by a car and killed, and Fender’s conscience pays a rare visit.
He retrieves the ring and decides to find the woman his customer intended to marry. That woman turns out to be Ginger Stevens, twenty-something ski instructor, who—despite being full of guilt and self-doubt after the death of her boyfriend—is someone Fender finds he quite enjoys being around. He’s smitten.

Which is all well and good, except that after he meets her, Fender can’t do it. Though it’s right there in his pocket, he can’t tell her about the ring. Instead, he embarks on a long, ridiculous quest to find a way to tell her the truth he knows she deserves. Aided by advice from Pop and the antics of his best friend Sam, Fender tries desperately to juggle his budding romance with the reality he knows could ruin it.

Will he find love or foul it up? Can Ginger move out of the past to embrace what the future has to offer? Meet this unlikely pair in Beck Anderson’s heartfelt and fabulously funny second novel, The Jeweler.

Release Day Blitz: Torn by A.M. Wallace



Title: Torn
Author: A.M. Wallace
Genre: New Adult
Release Date: Feb. 18, 2015
Blurb:
Marcus has his life pretty much figured out at twenty five years old. He’s got his career on track, a nice house just outside of the city, and his lifelong best friend, Hannah, by his side at every turn. The only problem is that he has been fighting with himself to tell Hannah how he really feels. How she’s all he’s been able to think about since he was old enough to have those feelings. What he doesn’t know is that Hannah is facing the same inner battle with herself about him. She fantasizes about a life with Marcus.
Will Marcus or Hannah be able to tell each other how they feel about one another? Will they be able to make a life together or does fate have other plans?






A.M. Wallace was born and raised in southern Ohio. She is currently a stay at home mom to her wonderful son. She and her husband still reside in southern Ohio after a few years of living in east Tennessee (Go Vols!) While her husband is a die-hard Volunteer, A.M will always be a Buckeye. (O-H-I-O!) Thankfully the two teams almost never play one another.
Her love for reading started at a very young age. The Boxcar Children was where it all started, and she never quit. AR Reading in school only pushed her that much harder to read faster and more advanced books. Her competitiveness came out when there were prizes and “winning” involved. Now, she reads anything and everything in her free time. (When she has free time.)
After being a stay at home mom for seven months, needing a change that would allow her to continue staying home with her son, she finally decided to pursue her dreams and write her first novel. While watching reruns of The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, and Doc McStuffins in her living room with her seven month old rolling around, the idea behind The Divided Series was born.

I smiled up at him as he reached me, a real smile. He smiled back and didn’t say a word before grabbing my shoulders and pulling me into a hug. I could almost cry at how familiar it was. I hugged him back and smiled into his shoulder. I was happy right now. Because for the short time his arms were around me, I could forget about everyone else in the room. Marcus was my best friend again and I was all he needed.

Blog Tour: The Chronicles of Fire and Ice by L.L. Hunter: Review



Title: The Chronicles of Fire and Ice
Author: L.L. Hunter
Published: November 9th, 2012
Pages: 215
Rating: 4/5 Stars

Synopsis

Is love stronger than race?

The world is changing as we know it, the human race is dwindling, but so are the angels. In order to preserve their bloodlines they have bred with humans, creating a new race called Nephilim. But there is one race that is more endangered than humans or Seraphim, Archangels.
As most people believe the Archangels have become extinct, rumours surface of a Legend; that a baby was born out of flame, the offspring of an archangel.

Dyston Blackbell is tasked to find and protect this child. He sends her strange dreams in hope that she will find him. When he discovers that she has enrolled at his family’s angel academy in Melbourne, he will do anything to protect Scarlett. But when he finds himself falling for her the Heavenly realm rejects him thus turning his wings black.

But 21-year-old Scarlett Porter realises that being half Archangel has some advantages. She has developed a unique trait, one that marks her as an Archangel. Will she keep it to herself or use it to fight back?

When an old enemy resurfaces, The Lucifites, Scarlett discovers that Dyston’s older brother Lakyn is at the helm of their sinister plans; to destroy the Nephilim race or use Scarlett for their own selfish purposes when they find out who she really is.

And when Lakyn discovers that Scarlett had only seduced him to rescue Dyston from his prison in the Realm of Light, it sends him on a journey of self-discovery and destruction. One that sees him venturing farther off course than his father would like. Will he choose a new life of love or his old life of darkness?
