Turbulent Intrigue by Melody Anne

Release date:  August 1, 2017
Rating:  3 Stars ⭐⭐⭐






I was really looking forward to Ace's story because he was like the black sheep of the family.  So I was one hundred percent sure that I was going to love this book.  Did I love it? I will let you know in a second, but first let me give a little information about the story.  This is the fourth book in the billionaire aviator series and Ace, along with his three brothers, has to get married or they will not receive their inheritance.  Ace took his father's words the hardest and found solace by joining the CIA.  All the other brothers are married now (spoiler alert) and enjoying the family lifestyle and meanwhile, Ace is returning home after being injured while working on a case.   While attending one of his brother's wedding, he meets Dakota and the story takes off. 

Now, I really liked book 1 and book 3 of this series(book 2 was not that good) and I could not wait to read Ace's story.  Ace was the most interesting, besides Nick, and I think that is why the author waited to the last book of the series to explore his story.  The book had a hot hero and a "I am not a victim" heroine to carry this story, but this book was borderline cartoonish.  I am a huge fan of Melody Anne, but this book was a "no" for me.  This book is written in third person pov and it was wordy with almost no real dialogue for the romance aspect of the story. Ace is not interesting one bit and yes, he is a CIA agent and a total gun toting bad ass, but that was it for the most part.  The character that I was eager to read about practically disappeared and I was left with the shell of his former self.  Dakota on the other hand was no better.  She was a 27 year old cheerleader and wait for it …. A virgin no matter.  I absolutely hate when authors make 27 through 30 year old virgins without a probable cause.  Dakota was a social butterfly and it just did not tie in with her character.  The ending was very cliché and could have been left out and it wouldn't have made much of a difference.

I did not hate the story because it did offer some entertainment and some hot, sweaty sex, but  I did not love it either.  It was okay. 

This story was unrealistic, cartoonish, and the main characters was boring with no real chemistry.  The last 70% of the book is supposed to be this CIA mission type of thing and even that falls flat.  I am so disappointed with this story.  You can also check out my other reviews on my blog.

A True Cowboy Christmas

Author:  Caitlyn Crews Date Released :  October 30, 2018 I went backwards with this series because I actually read book 2 titled "Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy" back in 2019 and when I chose this book I had no idea that it was a part of the same series. Weird.. The book that we are gathered here to review is "A True Cowboy Christmas" and it tells the story of Abby and Gray Everett.  Gray Everett does not believe in love based on a failed marriage and think Abby will be the perfect and practical wife to share his life and ranch with.  You lovers do know how that always ends right?  It was a little cliché, but I am always down or up for love. Let's jump into it.  As I stated before, Gray has ranching in his blood and has just buried his very abusive father.  Gray has a teenage daughter and who also happens to be a widow.  Gray has realized that he needs a family for his daughter and an eternal partner.  A marriage without love makes sense right?...

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...
