Review: Ripple Effect: Episode 3 by Keri Lake (Ripple Effect #3)


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

Trying to resist her is futile. 
I want her. But more than that, I don't want anyone else to have her.

The more time Dylan and Rip spend together, the more entangled they become in each other's lives. Dylan has been curious about Rip from the moment she spied him from her bedroom window, and she's gotten to the point where her curiosity is making her do things that could get her into trouble with the killer that owns her body...and maybe even her heart. You know what they say about curiosity... Rip also has a lot on his plate. A contract killer's job is never done, after all. But Dylan is proving to be a distraction. She's an itch that he wants to keep scratching, but what kind of life could he possibly offer a barely legal girl? His life as Gabriel Ripley ended years ago. He's no longer the innocent he once was. He's a cold-blooded killer. Could there even be a future for these two? One may not be in the offing, not with someone still after Dylan and Ripley not knowing whether to trust his Bandit or not.

This serial is a killer! Get it? Doesn't matter. The point is, Ripple Effect has simply gotten better with each new episode author Keri Lake has released, and with this third one, she's hit one hell of a home run, but she still manages to somehow hold back just a tiny bit, almost as if she doesn't want her readers to have their fill just yet. Nope. She's already got too many of us hooked, and there is simply no frickin' way I'm going to not want the fourth and final episode in this serial, not with everything that happened in episode three and not with that devious cliffhanger AND that sneak peek into episode four. I hate cliffhangers, but the wait in between each episode isn't overly long, meaning I don't feel like the author is purposely trying to torture us. Every episode that's followed the first one has been like a reward for the patience you put in. And I've already got the ARC for episode four waiting for me on my e-reader, and I can't wait to spend my weekend with Rip and Dylan! Five-plus stars for episode three! ♥

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
