Review: Ripple Effect: Episode 2 by Keri Lane (Ripple Effect #2)


Note: This ARC was provided by the author via Ardent PRose in exchange for an honest review.

And things have gotten VEEERRRYYY interesting in the second episode of author Keri Lake's Ripple Effect serial. Both the suspense and the sex are up a few notches in this latest installment and we learn even more about Ripley and Dylan. This takes place soon after the events in the first installment, and Rip's fascination with the feisty eighteen-year-old girl who dared to steal from him continues to fester. If he were a better person, he'd feel sympathy for Dylan, but he's never claimed to be one. Rip is a killer and whatever emotions he may still have within him are on lockdown. But with the agreement he and Dylan come to, for how much longer can he keep himself in check, especially with a girl who makes him crave her and what she offers unlike anyone else before her?

Two things: You need to read the episodes in order AND they end in cliffhangers. Don't worry about the first one because they're fairly short reads so it's not as if you're going to have to invest a couple of hours reading them. Then there's the second one, and if you know me, you know I think cliffhangers are evil. However, the wait between episodes isn't all that long. Think two weeks. Of course, you can always choose to wait to read all episodes once they're all available, but take it from someone who doesn't have a great deal of patience: these are worth that antsy feeling you get because you NEED to know what happens next. Keri Lake does eroticism and tension with its dark hues unlike anyone else. I can't wait for episode three (but I will)! Five stars for episode two. ♥

Release Blitz: Saved by Hazel James

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

Blue Skies (Blue Skies #1) by Marie Sinclair Release Date: October 11, 2023 About Blue Skies Greg loves his job as a flight attendant. If only his love life could make him as happy, he’d be all set. Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
