DELIRIOUS

                                      DELIRIOUS 

I cannot believe that the day has finally arrived. Well, it arrived yesterday, but give a girl a minute to read the book. LOL Delirious was an amazing read, another home-hitter for me. It was a perfect book to read while we all were laying low due to Hurricane Irma. Delirious is the fifth book in the Quantum Series under her alter-go name of M.S. Force. Don`t worry, if you are a bit behind, I have another blog post that will explain everything Quantum. Anyways, back to Delirious. Delirious features our favorite Hollywood producer, Kristian Bowen, whom readers met in Book 1, Virtuous, as well as our cherished, single mom of two kids, and survivor of breast cancer, Aileen Gifford, one of Natalie`s friends that was also introduced in Virtuous,separately though. We saw sparks between the two when they meet a Flynn`s and Natalie`s wedding. What do they say about weddings and first love? LOL. Now that Aileen is in LA, thanks to Flynn and Nat`s encouragement, will she and Kristian find away to be together despite each of their prior personal struggles? Delirious is a novel of the heart, mystery, and hardship that both Aileen and Kristian have gone through. It is a book about how love can conquer all, about how a hero emerges from a broken man when an ugly past, and most of all true love. If you like books that are full of love, joy, sadness, and redemption as well as a it of kinkiness, you will absolutely fall in love with Delirious, which is now available, and will be listed below.  

Personally, I have been waiting for this book since the two characters were introduced at Flynn and Nat`s wedding. Yep, its been a while, but well worth the wait time. I love stores with a happyily ever after`s, but this book takes it to a whole new level. I loved how Kristian saw Aileen`s beauty despite the fact that ahe was undergoing chemotherapy and vice vera, how Aileen saw past the Hollywood charm with Kristian and forced him (in a nice willing way) to face his demons. I adored that both of them fought for one another against all the odds. Best of all, I love how Kristian takes care of Aileen`s kids, Logan and Maddie, just like a dad would do.

I hope you all will give this amazing book a whirl. If you have not read the Quantum Series yet, jump on the bandwagon, you will not regret it! Again all the information to buy Delirious will be listed below as well as a synopsis as well as Marie`s site. If you want a sneak peak, Ch 1-3 are posted on her website!

BLURB: 
As one of Hollywood’s hottest producers, Kristian Bowen is on top of the world. With the Quantum team is fresh off a clean sweep of awards season and looking ahead to the premiere of their new film, Insidious, Kristian’s life is exactly how he likes it, complete with a stable of willing subs to tend to his every desire. Until he attends the wedding of his friend and business partner Flynn Godfrey and meets AileenGifford, the close friend of Flynn’s new wife, Natalie. Since meeting Aileen five months ago, Kristian’s carefully cultivated life has changed in ways he never could’ve expected. Now Aileen and her children are moving to Los Angeles, and he’s not sure whether to be excited or terrified about his powerful feelings for the single mom…
Aileen is coming off the worst year of her life, spent battling breast cancer while taking care of two young children. When Natalie, Flynn and their other friends encourage Aileen to move to LA and work for Quantum, she jumps at the chance to give her family a fresh start. And with her off-the-charts attraction to Flynn’s business partner in the mix, the idea of living in LA becomes that much sweeter. Until everyone shows up to welcome her and the kids to their new home in LA—except Kristian.
He can’t avoid her forever, and when these two finally see each other again, sparks fly between the single mom and the producer with a past he’s kept hidden from everyone who matters to him. When that past rears its ugly head, will he run away from the woman he loves or turn to her for comfort in the storm? And will she prevail in convincing him that he can be himself, in every possible way, with her?
Kristian and Aileen’s long-awaited story is full of heat, heart and humor, as well as appearances from all the Quantum characters readers love!

                        FATAL THREAT (PLUS MORE)


Wow, I cannot believe I have never written about the Fatal Series here on the blog! Before I get into Fatal Threat, the most recent release, lets take it back a few years. 

I found about Marie Force 5-6 years ago through the Gansett Series. Like I do with other authors, immediately I went online to learn more about Marie Force and found out she had a series called Fatal Series. Back then only a couple books had been released, and bonus, the first book, Fatal Affair, was free. I flew through Fatal Affair and before I knew it, I was 3 books in. To say I was hooked was well, an understatement at best. To be honest, I think what got me so addicted was the fact that this book had everything I loved. It had both romance and mystery, 2 genres that I love, so it was like a match made in heaven. What I love about the Fatal series is that its like watching a tv show, but inside your own head. If you like romance and mystery in one, if you like reading series, and if you like having an interactive author, the Fatal Series is definitely for you! Right now, the first three books of the series are free (in the bundle)! If you have been hesitant, dive in now and you will not regret it!!!! 

Now, lets get back to present day! Today, is release day for the latest in the Fatal Series....FATAL THREAT!!!!! I have been patiently (or not) waiting for this release for a year... and it was totally worth it. I LOVED it. I tried so hard to "take it slow," but it was not happening. I had to know who did what and why and gosh I was racing through it like anything. So, the book picks up at Sam, excuse me, Lieutenant Holland, driving to a crime scene, where she is abducted by the Secret Service and taken to an underground safety place. There, she is met with her family members who are confused why they are at this unknown location. It is later revealed that someone has been threatening the vice president, Nick, and due to a particular nasty threat, he ordered the Secret Service to make sure all of his and Sam`s family were safe, thus the reason why everyone landed up in the secret underground placement. There is a lot of twist and turns that I did not see coming and do not want to spoil for anyone, but without giving any spoilers, here is what I can say. The main investigations going on are , the crime scene Sam was at when she was taken and secondly, the investigation of the threats ( led by the Feds, our lovely friend Agent Hill), and a third investigation that is connected to the threat investigation. To find out more......read Fatal Threat!!!

Just like with Marie`s other series, I have read the Fatal Series multiple times. In fact, before reading Fatal Threat, I re-read the entire series. To be clear with you, I love this series to death. Its one of my favorites and right up my alley as the saying goes. I love reading this series because its fun, sexy, suspenseful, and emotional. I love this series because I care about the characters and their decisions that their like my family and friends too. Sometimes, I forget its all fictional... Anyways, Fatal Threat had me on my knees the whole way through and I am still not sure how I survived it, so a re-re-read is definitely on the to-do list.

I hope you all give Fatal Threat a read as well as the rest of the series if you have not read it yet! All the information to buy Fatal Threat will be listed below. If you want a quick sneak peak, Ch. 1 is online on Marie`s website.

“Fans of Scandal and House of Cards will love the Fatal Series.” —New York Times bestselling author Cindy Gerard

Don't miss the next chapter in the New York Times bestselling series from Marie Force! Read the electrifying romantic suspense novel that everyone is talking about!
It's just another day at the office for Washington Metro Police lieutenant Sam Holland when a body surfaces off the shores of the Anacostia River. But before Sam can sink her teeth into the new case, Secret Service agents seize her from the crime scene.
A threat has been made against her family, but nobody will tell her anything—including the whereabouts of her husband, Vice President Nick Cappuano. This isn't the first time the couple's lives have been at risk, but when a bombshell from Sam's past returns to haunt her, she can't help but wonder if there's a connection.
With a ruthless killer out for vengeance, and Nick struggling to maintain his reputation after secrets from his own past are revealed, Sam works to tie the threat to a murder that can't possibly be a coincidence. And she has to get it done before her husband's career is irrevocably damaged…

EXCERPT:

“Thank you, Brant,” Sam said to the agent in charge of Nick’s Secret Service detail.
“You’re welcome.” Brant paused before he added, “I know we’ve had this conversation before, Mrs. Cappuano, but I really recommend that you have a detail until we’re certain we’ve contained this threat.”
“I appreciate the recommendation, but I’ll be providing my own security through my team here. I’ll be accompanied by other armed officers everywhere I go. There’s no need to be redundant.”
“Redundant,” Nick muttered with a grunt that would’ve been laughter if the subject matter hadn’t been so grave. “Brant is suggesting added precaution, not redundancy.”
“It’s not necessary,” Sam said, digging in. The last fucking thing she needed was to be escorted around by federal agents. She may as well hang up her badge if that was going to be her reality.
“On that we disagree, my love,” Nick said. “But I’m not going to waste everyone’s time fighting a losing battle. Brant, we appreciate your thoroughness and ask you to keep us posted on the situation.”
“Will do, sir. I’ll wait for you outside.”
When they were alone, Sam looked up at Nick. “I know what you’re going to say, and—”
Nick kissed her hard. “I’ll see you at home later. Let me know if anything pops in the investigation.”
“That’s it? That’s all you’re going to say?”
“That’s it.”
“Hmm.”
“What does that mean?”
“You surprise me.”
He threw his head back and laughed. “Then my day is officially made. I’ve managed to surprise my shrewd, sexy wife.”
“I thought you were going to do the whole alpha-dog lift-your-leg thing and demand I have a detail.”
“Sorry to disappoint you on the leg lifting, babe, but we have a deal. Would I like you to have a detail? Abso-fucking-lutely. Do I understand why you won’t allow it? Yeah, I get it. Doesn’t mean I like it, but I get it.” He kissed her forehead and then her lips. “Now, we’ve both got stuff to do, so let’s get to it so we can get to the best part of the day.”
“Which is?”
His lips were a heartbeat away from hers when he said, “The part where you crawl into bed with me and rub your naked self all over me.”

                                      CAN`T BUY ME LOVE 

It has been a hot minute since we have visited the Abbotts in the small town of Butler,VA. Since then, there has been a minor change. The series is now called the Butler,VA series since the author left the publisher and spinned it off.  No need to fret because everything is the same, same town, same people, and of course the fan favorite, Fred the Mouse.In addition, the price has gone down from $7.99 to $4.99!

Now that we have gotten that out of the way, it time to talk about Book 2 of the Butler,VA series, (Book 8 in the Green Mountain/Butler,VA series) called Can`t Buy Me Love! The main couple featured in this book are Patrick Murphy and Mary Larkin. We met Patrick and Mary (separately) back in the first book, All You Need is Love  and fell in love with them at first sight. The two of them were introduced to one another at Will and Cameron`s wedding in the novella, You`ll Be Mine. Ever since that first meeting, both have been smitten with one another and start seeing each other secretly! The events in this took place during through the last couple books, so there is information that has been said, just now from a different point of view.

When I first heard that Marie was going to write this book, I was overjoyed to say the least. Firstly, I fell in love with Patrick and Mary during their first meeting at Will and Cameron`s wedding. Secondly, I love stories about people finding love at an older age. I find it enduring and interesting. In addition, I loved that their were sneaking around, it added a bit of a thrill to the overall book. I loved this book so much that I read it mutiple times back to back since I got it. I love almost all of Marie`s books, so it was no surprise that this would be another home-run book. The thing about Marie`s books in general are they are genuine, relatable, and somewhat realistic. This book was no exception!

The bottom line is that I loved this book to death. I have read it multiple times and still cannot get enough. My emotions are taken on this roller coaster ride, and I do not want it to end. To be honest, I try to read it slow to savor every chapter, every page, every word, but I fail because I want to see what happens and by that time the book is done, which leaves me craving for more. Once your open the book, you are thrown into another world, where mundane issues are wiped away, and you are suddenly surrounded by the characters you love and connect with. Sometimes, I find myself so involved, that they become real to me in reality.

I hope you all give this book, and the others before a chance because you will not regret it. I certainly did not. All of the information you need to buy Can`t Buy Me Love will be below as well as a synopsis as well as Marie`s website. If you want a sneak peek of the book, Chapter 1 is posted on her website!

Mary Larkin was hard at work as the office manager at the Green Mountain Country Store when Cameron Murphy brought her dad, Patrick, in to visit. That fateful first meeting, which took place in You’ll Be Mine, sets the stage for Mary and Patrick’s long-awaited romance in Can’t Buy Me Love! 

Mary enjoys her predictable, satisfying life in Butler. If it’s a little lacking in excitement, well, that’s okay with her. But after meeting Patrick and getting to know him better at his daughter’s wedding, Mary is intrigued by the well-known, sexy billionaire businessman. 

Patrick is equally intrigued. For the first time since he suddenly lost his wife thirty years ago, he has met a woman who makes him feel less lonely, and all he wants is more of his Sweet Mary from Vermont. Flirty phone calls become a weekend away together that takes his relationship with Mary to the next level. 

But with six hours and two vastly different lives standing between them, can Mary and Patrick find happily ever after together? And after telling her father to keep his hands and everything else off Mary, will Cameron approve of her father’s new romance?

                               GABE 

Wow, its been a long time since I have posted one of these. Honestly, I have no valid excuses, but whats done is done, so lets move on.... Speaking of moving on, since my last post, I have been introduced to a new author, Leigh James. She was introduced to me by one of my favorite authors, Marie Force. In the past year, Marie has opened her very own publishing house. Leigh`s series, Silicon Valley Billionaires is being published by Marie`s publishing house, Jack`s Publishing House. The book, GABE , is the second one in the series. LAUREN, the first book, was released earlier in February. If you want to more about Leigh`s other books, head to her website, that will be linked below. Also, I have posted a synopsis, excerpt, and links to buy GABE below!

Personally, I have fallen in love with series. My advice to you all would read the series in order, so it can make better sense. If you love romance, mystery, and an amazing villain, you will love this book. Actually, one of my favorite things about this series in general is how much I HATE the antagonist, which makes the books so good

His Woman. His Family. His Company.
When the going gets tough, the tough get Alpha.
Silicon Valley billionaire CEO Gabriel Betts has finally found the happiness he’s been searching for—in gorgeous, brilliant fellow billionaire Lauren Taylor, the so-called reigning queen of the biotech industry. But when Chinese healthcare mogul Li Na Zhao kidnaps Lauren’s sister in a high-stakes game of corporate espionage, the world they’ve worked so hard to protect comes crashing down. Li Na agrees to trade Hannah for Lauren’s Paragon Laboratories and her help—onsite and in person. In an attempt to keep Lauren safe, Gabe calls in his security-industry professional brothers to help get Hannah back. But when the rescue effort stumbles, Gabe must pick up the pieces to protect the woman he loves…before she makes the ultimate sacrifice.    


EXCERPT : This is a scene where Lauren and Gabe are having an issue in the bedroom, and she shares a story from her AP-Chemistry past.
He tightened his embrace and kissed the top of my head. “Shh. You don’t have anything to apologize for.”
I forced myself to calm down. Everything Gabe did, he did for me—a fact I was well aware of. No other man could handle me, or would’ve had the patience to wait to lure me out of my ivory laboratory, divest me of my virginity, and handle every other crazy thing that’d come our way since.
“I love you,” I said.
“I know.” He kissed my nose. “And I love you too.”
“Even though you have…blue balls?” I laughed, trying to lighten the mood, although my face reddened at the topic.
Gabe looked at me, startled. “Lauren Taylor, where on earth did you hear such an expression?”
“High school AP chemistry,” I admitted, and laughed again. “We were doing a section on cryogenics. The boys in my class passed me a note about it—they used to call me ‘The Ice Queen.’ They said I was the freezer of all balls. They wouldn’t stop laughing.”
Gabe grimaced. “Do you remember who they were? They might need a visit from your big, bad, vendetta-loving boyfriend.”
“Oh, I already took care of them. I got an A-plus in that class, beat them all out for the last remaining spot in the National Honor Society, and I also compromised the integrity of their test tubes so they shattered during our next experiment.” I smiled at the memory. “After I started Paragon, one of them had the nerve to try to add me to his LinkedIn. I blocked him, of course.”
“Nice.” Gabe sounded impressed.
“It seemed appropriate. The Ice Queen doesn’t let shit like that go.”
Gabe pulled me against him. “That’s why she’s the boss.”
I clung to him. I never thought I’d meet a man who understood me, let alone embrace me for who I was. “Thank you for…loving me. Me, the giver of blue balls.”
He patted my hand. “Me and my balls love you—a lot. We’re good, babe. But we should try to get some rest while we can—are you okay?”
I relaxed against his chest. “I’m okay.” And for that brief moment in his arms, I actually meant it.
