Review: Blind Warrior by Jocelynn Drake & Rinda Elliott (The Weavers Circle #3)

Saying I'm obsessed with this series would be an understatement. Jocelynn Drake and Rinda Elliott have a penchant for writing series that readers become all emotionally invested in, and the same goes for their Weavers Circle books, which have a more paranormal romance feel to them with a touch of the supernatural. The series is about a group of six brothers who may not be tied together by blood, but fate has once again sought to bring the six Weavers--Earth, Animal, Soul, Fire, Water, and Air--together. One by one, they are "found" and brought to live on a sprawling estate in Georgia, and this time around, they have destined mates. Together they must rid the world of pestilents--the same evil, formidable enemy that generations of Weavers before them failed to do.

Blind Warrior is the third release, and it features the story of Grey Ackles, a twenty-eight-year-old author who just happens to also be the Soul Weaver. It's Grey who was able to tap into the thoughts and emotions of those around him, knowing when one's soul mate had been found...but that was until the Weavers' last clash with pestilents left him blind. Now, he's working with thirty-three-year-old Cort Newton, a vision rehabilitation therapist, who can help Grey re-acclimate to the world around him as a vision-impaired individual. With each day that passes, Cort helps Grey adjust to his new normal, but will it also mean that hope for Grey's vision to return diminishes? Even as their feelings for each other grew, will Cort still be blinded by love when he learns the truth about Grey?

One of my favorite things about this series is that the Weavers continue to hone their powers, both as individuals and as a circle. It becomes part of their bond, one that grows stronger with each new book released. Here in book three, I loved seeing a different side to Grey, who is usually more stoic, helping to keep his brothers calm and centered. Seeing him struggle with his loss of sight was interesting because now he was forced to accept the help that was being offered to him, and not just by Cort. Speaking of Cort, the guy was that perfect counterbalance to Grey, and I enjoyed being a witness to the development of their relationship and his protective nature over Grey. The new Weaver is certainly interesting, and I'm loving the continuing diversity. I am giving Blind Warrior five stars.

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

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
