✯Review✯ Kissing Gabe:NYE Kisses(Beech Grove #6)by Mayra Statham

Blurb
I’m a stick-to-the-rules, planning-it-all-out kind of girl. As a city event planner’s assistant, my plan is to check off every box on my to-do list and make sure the Fireman’s New Year’s ball goes off without a hitch. 

Everything is in order. Until nothing turns out to be the way it is. 

Kissing Gabe Blanco, the sexy fireman with chocolatey eyes and a dirty mouth, was not on my to-do list, but now I can’t think of anything else I would rather do. There was no way I could have planned on him, but he’s tempting enough for me to throw caution to the wind. 

Temps might be dropping outside, but this OTT whirlwind insta-love will have you slightly hot under the collar.




✯✯3.5-4 Gabe Filled Stars!!!✯✯ 


This is the 6th book in the Beech Grove Series. I’ve been DYING for Gabe’s story since the beginning of this series with Burning Bridges. That story was Gabe’s sister Sofia and best friend/coworker Maverick getting together. 

Since than Gabe has made an appearance in every book. Even if small cameos but he’s been a constant. He’s cameos revolve around either his job being a firefighter or at the bar. Usually drunk. I’ll get back to that in a bit. 

Daisy is a party planner. When her boss gets snowed in Daisy’s left last minute in charge of the annual Fireman’s NYE celebration/auction. She’s legit freaking out. Luckily for Daisy she’s got some friends who if you’ve rad the previous books you know who they are helping her out. 

Daisy’s got to get guys to be auctioned off. Sofia offers up for brother Gabe which will be a hit with all the women and great networking for him. Daisy is just hoping it all works out. The first time she meets Gabe she can see what all the fuss is about until he opens his mouth and than she’s instantly turned off. Or so Daisy thought. 

When Gabe first saw Daisy from afar he knew he had to meet her and than she disappeared on him. When Gabe finds out his little sister signed him up for the auction he wanted a way to get out of it. Until he found out whose in charge of it. Than, he asked his sister for help. She got him into this mess and now she was going to make it worth it. 

In Burning Bridges Gabe got hurt at work during a fire. Now Gabe is back and feeling great. Gabe’s name is in everyone’s mouth about him being the next fire chief. Gabe’s tryin to play it cool even though he wants it. 

Gabe wants the job for his own reasons. Gabe’s also never has an issue getting women. He just doesn’t stick around long. But, seeing his best friend Maverick and sister Sofia falling in love and a lot of his other friends as well it’s got Gabe wanting more than a one nighter much longer. 

When Gabe sees Daisy he wants her in a way he’s never wanted a women before. After screwing up their first meeting Gabe makes himself a promise. When the clock hits midnight when the ball drops he’ll bring the New Years in kissing Daisy and it’ll be both their last first kiss. 

Since Burning Bridges it’s seemed Gabe’s  drinking has gotten worse. I’ve been under the impression he’s been getting sloppy drunk which isn’t like him.  Maverick made a comment in book one Gabe had been disappearing more like he’s been seeing someone. Talk of him becoming fire chief since than too. I’ve been waiting for both of that to come out. Waiting for him to get the promotion he’s rightfully deserved. Wanting to know where’d he been sneaking off too. Why the excess drinking and why multiple characters throughout the previous 5 books thought he hadn’t been looking himself, almost sad. 

I was very disappointed that none of it was ever brought up, resolved or job given. Dunno it could just be me. But, I was left with a lotta wtf to answers I’ve wanted answered since the first book.

✯Release Review✯Tribe of Daughters by Kate L.Mary

Title: Tribe of Daughters
Author: Kate L Mary
Genre: Adult Dystopian
Publisher: Twisted Press
Editor: Lori Whitwam
Publication Date: January 3rd, 2018 Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR
Blurb:
For the past seventy years, deep in the mountains and totally secluded from civilization, a matriarchal society has thrived. In this small village there are no brothers, no fathers, no sons. In this village men exist only to serve the women, and boys have no mothers. In this village men do as they are told and defiance is severely punished.
This is the only Life Wilderness has ever known, but when Jameson is brought in from the outside to be her husband, everything she thought she knew about strength and love is tested. As they struggle to find their place in the village, they suddenly find themselves face to face with outsiders who threaten to destroy everything they love, and it doesn’t take long to realize that they will have to work together, men and women alike, if they want to survive.


✯✯4 Wild Jameson Filled Stars!!! ✯✯

Talk about crazy!!! If you’re looking for a book with a storyline that you’ve never read before, then stop because Tribe of Daughters is that book.  

Women are on top of the food chain in this village. When the plague hit seventy years ago life as everyone knew was over. 

Wilderness’s ancestors were held against their will and were beaten, tortured and everything else you can imagine. When they were able to escape they moved into the mountains secluded and have survived since. They swore to never let a man hurt them again. 

The women and men live separate from each other in this village. Men are used for certain things. They’re not allowed in the women’s part without permission. These women will do anything to stay strong. 

In order to keep strong they don’t crossbreed. Once every five years the warriors go out and bring back a few strong, healthy men to be wed by the next set of women. 

The women of this tribes job is to give birth to the next generation of strong women. If they give birth to boys they keep them until they can be weened and then sent to live with the other men. But, they’re not called man, son or brother. If they’re born there in the village they’re known as yielding and if they’re an outsider they’re a foundling. 

Wilderness is getting her husband at this gleaning. Wilderness has a lot on her shoulders. Wilderness is the next High Elder after her mom Raven. Like Wilderness, her mom married a foundling, Zachariah. Like Raven, Wilderness will be expected to teach her husband the ways of their village. 

Jameson went from sleeping in his tent to being captured and brought to a village where the women are in charge. He can’t believe the men agree to living this way. Jameson finds solace in Zachariah who was also an outsider AKA foundling. Jameson doesn’t know how Zachariah lives with his children not knowing exactly who he is to them. The other guys that were brought in with Jameson will do anything to get away. But, Jameson isn’t so sure. 

This is still new for Jameson and Wilderness. Unlike the other women Wilderness wants to be around Jameson all the time. He starts to open her eyes to things other then what she’d grown up being taught.  Things that the other wives do Wilderness doesn’t agree with.  

Once Wilderness and Jameson were married everything the women and men in this village knew and lived by were about to change. Everything was about to either get really bad for everybody or change them for the better. 

Wilderness I really liked from the beginning. She wasn’t afraid to listen to her gut when it came to Jameson. I just wished she spoke up to her mom more often. 

Jameson I loved!!! He knew what the women were doing was wrong but he understood why they were the way they were. He spoke to Wilderness and showed her things could be so different. He knew he was in love with her and he knew when they had their own children he couldn’t standby and pretend they didn’t mean anything to him. But, for Wilderness he’d do anything she’d wanted. 


This is unlike anything I’ve ever read and I read a lot! Kate L. Mary is an author I love to read bc everything she writes is different and so entertaining I don’t want to put my kindle down. I’m looking forward to her next release!

✯Review✯Wild Collision(The Wild Series #1) (Us Series #4) by Micalea Smeltzer

Title: Wild Collision (Wild, #1)
Author: Micalea Smeltzer
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Day: November 23, 2018
 
Synopsis
He was a beautiful nightmare. Mia Hayes is comfortable with her life as it is. Boring is good. Boring is normal. Boring is safe. But the thing with boring is it makes temptation all the sweeter. She was a sweet dream. Hollis Wilder goes a hundred miles an hour after everything he wants. Fast is fun. Fast is crazy. Fast is dangerous. But the thing with fast is it keeps you from thinking before you act. Together they were the notes in their favorite song. When Mia and Hollis collide—literally—music’s new bad boy can’t help but notice the beautiful red-haired woman with soft curves. She calls to him like a siren, and since the word no isn’t in his vocabulary he’s determined to get what he wants. The problem is, one night won’t be enough, and the fact that Mia is his mentor’s daughter complicates things royally. Mia’s the one girl that’s off limits, but she might be the only one he wants for real.  



✯✯5 Hollis Filled Stars!!!✯✯


Oh Micalea!!! I’m such a sucker for her books. ESP her rocker men. If you’ve read her Willow Creek Series be prepared. BC, rememberer bad boy Hayes.... He’s back. Hayes has opened his own production company. He’s found The Wild and has signed them first at his label. Hayes only has one major rule.... Stay away from his daughter Mia. 

Mia is going to school, working at the sub shop and has started at her dads company.  Mia wants to work in the music business and loves learning from her dad. 

When her dad signed The Wild she was happy for him. Then, she walked into her bedroom and walked into Hollis Wilder the lead singer. He’s one cocky SOB and she instantly hates him even though he makes her feel things she doesn’t want. 

Mia never grew up in the spotlight with her dad and uncles being in the biggest rock band.  She got used in the past bc of who her dad was. Since then Mia has said she’d never date another musician. Hollis is making her decision hard to follow thru on. 

Hollis’s dream was always for his and his best friends to make something of their music career. They’ve found a bit of fame and fans but never seem to make it big. 

When Hayes from the rock band Willow Creek signs them they all know their lives are about to change. Hollis  and the guys will put in the hard work to make their album a hit and climb the ladder to the top. 

Hollis wasn’t going to let anything get in his way. Until he came face to face with the fiery redhead. Then, his cockiness came out a little too much. Mia’s not like most girls. She grew up with her dad and uncles in the music business. She’d been hurt in the past and Hollis wants to prove to her not all musicians are the same. The biggest problem is if Hayes finds out about him and Mia they’ll loose their contract. 

This was amazing!! It’s a new adult read. These two are hot..... sweaty hot!!! There was so many times I was legit lol. 

Add in the other 3 guys from the band, Mia’s best friend Kira and of course Mia’s dad Hayes. There was a scene that happened that had me dying and I was like “OMG I’d die to get this in Haye’s POV” and Micalea must’ve known her Willow Creek fans would say it bc in a bonus epilogue was that scene from his POV and I was hysterical laughing all over.

Excerpt
He closes the distance between us swiftly, grabbing my face roughly between his hands. He kisses me quickly, desperately. It’s a bruising kind of kiss. One that leaves a path of flames in its wake. He lets me go and steps away. “I had to kiss you before I couldn’t for the rest of the evening,” he admits. I touch my lips where they still tingle from his. He flashes a cocky smile, pleased with himself for rendering me speechless. “I know I’m a good kisser, but I didn’t know it was possible to stun you into silence. I’m impressed with myself.” I snap out of my revelry. “I hope you go home and write about it in your diary.” “Oh, I will.” He smirks. “Is it pink and sparkly?” “Of course—I even hot glued my name in sequins on it and the first page is marked with Future Mr. Mia Hayes.”
