Book Blast - Lovers, Lies, & Lillies

Image
  Vintage Romance   In 1944, women were thought to be the weaker sex. Divorce was unheard of—a woman’s place was in the home, obeying her spouse and raising their children. After a miscarriage, Calvin Barnes blamed his wife Sarah for being too weak to carry out her duties. His violent, drunken rampages turned deadly. A chance encounter with a mysterious stranger empowers Sarah to find freedom, sexual enlightenment, and love. Wealthy businessman, Jon Bartleaux, teaches Sarah there is more to life than the 1940s mindset of sex only being for procreation at the pleasure of the husband. Treated as an equal, he teaches her that tender, generous, mutually satisfying sex can be enjoyed by both partners. Sarah puts the pain and guilt of her past behind her until her sister Carol asks for help with a neighbor who is desperate to escape her husband’s abuse, with the added danger of a standing hitman contract should anything happen to him. Will Sarah risk revealing...

This is the 2nd book, Part Two of the No Way In Hell crossover from both the acclaimed Steel Corp. & Trident Security book series.  It gives you background into some very private characters and how they came to be where they are.  I recommend reading this in order, as it will enhance understanding and enjoyment. Bea AKA "Mic" Michaels and T. Carter have now kissed and decided to remain friends.  While very protective of one another, they are also glad when they have each other's backs.  It is hard to trust when you are this far undercover. Carter knows under different circumstances, he would have liked to be able to take down the enemy without involving a woman.  Especially not one who commands respect.  One no one wants to lose. Such a great story and very powerful message.  I really loved that the characters worked well together.  There are obvious signs in this book of character development, and continued enjoyment while readin...

This is book # 2 in The Boss's Son, a 3 part series .  I recommend reading it in order for better grasp of the story and full understanding.  I always advise readers to read in order the author intended. Britt and Jack's story continues in this 2nd part.  Jack has gone to Hong Kong to train and Britt has had to stay and wait on him.  She is afraid since distance can be a factor for most couples to break up. Jack is sure Britt is who he wants.  He fell pretty hard for her and is trying everything to make it work.  He calls and text her all the time. Britt has just had a bad breakup before meeting Jack.  She is also stressed out on him being her bosses son.  She is afraid of how it will look to others so she keeps a secret, even from her best friend. This story has a lot of humor and the characters are fun to read.  Britt not telling her best friend leads to hijinx.  The one thing that bugged me in this story was Britt...

The Billionaire Saga continues

This is part two in The Billionaire Saga , a three part series.  I always remind my readers, to get the most from a story that is in a series - please read in the order the author intended.  This is for best enjoyment and understanding of the story as a whole. Rebecca and Marcus continue the charade in this book.  Only this time, it is not just a potential client they have to convince.  This is Rebecca's family.  Her mother and brother come to "help" the wedding planning along.   Marcus is still agreeable about paying for her time, as he still has a client on the hook he is trying to catch.  He finds her family fascinating and funny.  They love him also. Rebecca, meanwhile, is starting to feel the deep pangs of guilt.  She is close to her family, for the most part, and hates lying to them.  She also knows if she tells her mom the truth she will hit the roof. Marcus and Rebecca are also getting closer.  They have ...

This is  Part 2 of a 3 part Serial.  I recommend reading the Part 1 first, for full understanding and of course, reader enjoyment. Sicily and Drake are still going rounds in this book.  We pick up where we left off with her being investigated for a crime everyone knows she did not commit.  Also, Drake does a little investigating on his own. Drake is continually getting hurt trying to put himself out there and let Sicily know she means everything to him.  Until  his best friend tells him he does not think he has said it the right way. Sicily finally talks with Drake in this story.  They share more about their personal lives as they get to know one another better.  She finally gets bold enough to tell him what she really wants. I found this the best part yet.  We get to know more about Drake's past.  I love the character development and cannot wait for the next part!  I give this book a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! This...
