Charge by E.L Todd


Book Information
Author: E.L Todd
Release Date: October 11, 2016
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Rating: 5 Stars

I have been a fan of this author since her novel, "Into the fire", was released.  E. L Todd is  a real romance story teller and this story further supports her skills.  Her writing makes me feel the character's words and allow me to see the world through their eyes.  Though the story is written in first point of view, it isn't wordy or someone's irrelevant inner thoughts. This story is about Volt, a CEO of his Tutoring program for the SATs and Taylor, a teacher at a prestigious, private school.  On her first day at her new job, she meets fellow teacher Natalie. Natalie invites her to a bar with her friends and that is where she meets Volt.  At first sight, Taylor is attracted to Volt, but he is emotionally unavailable. Volt is sexy in his own right and he knows it.  After discovering the Volt is not looking for a relationship, but a quick lay, Taylor vows that she will not be another notch on his bedpost.  Taylor and Volt soon become best friends and the journey begins.

 I love how this story started because it showed the reason why Volt was a man whore and this story made me love Volt as a character.  Volt has a heart of gold buried under ice because he has this amazing relationship with a teenager named, Clay.  There is this conversation that takes place between Clay and Volt in a restaurant and it touches my heart.  Now, the one flaw with this book is the obviousness of the identity of the mystery woman that broke Volt's heart.  It is obvious because of the structure of the story and how the characters are presented.  It does not get passed me that Taylor has this whole life without Sara, who is supposedly her Best friend since childhood.  I think that it is weird that she clings to Volt that way and the fact that the author does not reveal his first name to keep the story a mystery. But other than that the story is awesome sauce.  I recommend this story.  E.L Todd is known for beautiful love stories minus the cheesiness. :)

Riding Hard by Laura Landish

Author:  Laura Landish Release Date:   March 26, 2019 What is it about quiet, broody cowboys that drives us women wild?   Is it the foul mouth or the panty dropping tone?   Whatever it may be, it is in this book.   I think I lost my religion while reading this book because it was so dirty. Grrrr.!!   My inner cheetah, yes cheetah because they are my favorite cat, came out… 😻I mean Wow.!! Okay let’s get to the meat of this cowboy stew shall we.

Saving Jake by Sharon Sala

Let me start by saying that I had no idea that this was book 3 in a series.  The book was so good that I thought it was a stand-alone novel.!!  This book tells the story of Jake and Laurel (which makes me think of "Arrow") and tells the story of how they became to accept each other's painful past and learning how to move forward with love.  This book is a wonderful example of storytelling and I enjoyed myself while reading this book.  The way the author tells this story makes it entertaining in a classy, simple way and I could not have asked for a better story.  This story gripped my heart and I was surprised by the chemistry that jumped off of the pages when it came to Jake and Laurel.  Laurel's daughter, Bonnie, just makes this book even more sweet than it already is.  I really miss when books were written like this and there is no specific point of view and it allows the author to explore different characters.  By allowing different charact...
