Ray of Heart by E.L Todd

Author:  E.L Todd
Release date:  April 04, 2017
Rating:  3 Stars ⭐⭐⭐


Let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of E.L Todd, but this book was not her best.  Not only was this book a huge love triangle, but the heroine is a gardening tool.  I wanted to say the other word, but I wanted to keep it clean for you all today. This is book 5, and hopefully the last, of the Ray series and it picks up with the cliff hanger of book 4.  Ryker is back in the picture and lends Rae his shoulder and other parts to cry on when Zeke reveals his big secret, which causes a huge rift in their relationship.  I really felt bad for Zeke in this book because he was really sympathetic for what he did to Rae.  I did not like the way Ryker was used, but I am glad to see his growth.  I really saw no reason for Rex's pov in this book besides showing how Zeke was dealing with everything.  He did not push the story along nor did he and Kayden offer anything to the story.  I was really looking forward to reading about Kayden and Rex's story because he seems to be allergic to  commitment. I wanted to see the journey and the trials of him revealing the big four letter word, but it was brushed off and I really wanted the scene to have that intensity that only this author can deliver.

The things that I like about this book was the drama, of course, and I also liked the intensity of Rae and Zeke's relationship.  I was entertained, but I did not get the comedy that she always deliver.  The pacing of the story was good and the expression of emotions was well written.



The reason I called Rae a gardening tool is because she sleeps with two different guys in the same week with no protection with either one.  The way she treats Ryker pisses me off and this entire book was games on top of games.  The characters were immature and the ending made no sense to me.  There are flaws to this book, but I did like the intensity and the writing of the author.   I still believe that the author should have left this as a trilogy because these two books did nothing for the overall story. I also just found out that there is another book being introduced to the series.  I am not sure if I will be reading.

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. This is book 2 of the Bennett Boys Ranch series and this one is about the quiet, broody older brother, Mark.   I was so excited to read his story because he was so mysterious and who doesn't want to see a cowboy fall in love.   Hopefully you have read book 1 because I am about to drop a spoiler.   Okay…Mark's younger brother James from book 1 is getting married at   resort outside of town and this is where Mark meets Katelyn, an event coordinator.   Now I will not go t...

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...
