This is such a fun read! Ms Moreland did
A fantastic job with Liam and Shelby; they were a blast to spend time with and I was a bit sad when the book ended!

When we meet Liam, he is a famous actor with a bit of a Peter Pan complex and Shelby is his housekeeper/assistant. I liked both characters right away and their dynamic was sweet as well as entertaining.

The shift from friends/coworkers was done well as was completely organic to the story. The best part was seeing Liam start to grow up and make changes is how he did things so that he could demonstrate his feelings.

Add in a small, but fabulous secondary cast and Changing Roles is a fantastic read.




New York Times/Wall Street Journal/USA Today bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of twenty-seven-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them. 

While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip. 
Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

Hell Hath No Fury ~ R C Boldt ~ Cover Reveal




Title: Hell Hath No Fury
Author: RC Boldt
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Cover Design: By Hang Le
Release Date: May 19, 2020



Blurb

Seven years ago, they took everything from me. My father. My husband. My child.
When they stole my chance at justice, I vowed to get revenge.
Then I met him.
He tempts that long-lost part of me, but his presence is a reminder that betrayal lurks around every corner.
Their biggest mistake is underestimating my commitment for vengeance.
They don’t realize that when it comes to a woman like me, hell hath no fury.

Trailer



Excerpt

Death. 
Heartache. 
Vengeance. 
This isn’t a tale for the tender-hearted, the judgmental, or those who refuse to think outside the box and look at the broader picture. Those who think that everything is black and white. Simple. Cut and dry. 
It’s not. There’s always shades of gray. 
It’s easier to say “I’d never” when you’re sitting safely at home with the people you love most right by your side. When grief hasn’t woven itself so deeply in the fabric of your DNA that it can never be unraveled. There can be no separation. And even if you try, it would only result in you becoming a frayed and tangled mess.
It’s easy to say you’d never walk the treacherous moral tightrope. But you aren’t the one who plummeted to the depths of hell, littered with the agony of loss and the anger of injustice, and had to claw your way out.
This story isn’t scrawled in bold black ink on pristine white pages. Marred, torn, and blood-spattered, its chapters hold deep gouges inflicted by betrayal. 
This story is about a woman who had everything taken from her.
And how she took it all back.






Author Bio

RC Boldt currently lives on the southeastern coast of the U.S., enjoys long walks on the beach, running, reading, people watching, and singing karaoke. If you're in the mood for some killer homemade mojitos, can't recall the lyrics to a particular 80's song, or just need to hang around a nonconformist who will do almost anything for a laugh, she's your girl.

Review Copy Provided by Author


I’ve missed a few Odds are Good stories along the way, but My Valdez Valentine is a great example of why I enjoy this series.

Addison is a high powered LA lawyer when her brother goes missing outside Valdez. Seeing how she dealt with this - including seeking help from helicopter pilot Gideon- gave us a great glimpse into her character and who she was. While she had some hard/awkward moments, I liked her. Gideon was equally likeable and I found myself rooting for him.

This book is really the before and after of a woman’s life. The before who Addison is prior to going to Valdez, and even part of her time there. Then there is the fallout. The after is when she truly begins to deal with the results of her stay in Valdez and the new path her life is on.

It was heart warming to see Addison and Gideon reconnect and form the bonds needed to navigate the new changes coming their way. This sweet read left me looking forward to more Odds Are Good stories

If you have missed A L Jackson’s rockers, the boys from Sunder are back in supporting roles in the excellent Kiss The Stars.

Mia West is the younger sister of Lyrik and she runs into some trouble just before the band brings Carolina George (a band we’ve seen mentioned in other books) drummer, Lief, in to help in an album. Lief is carting his own freight train of baggage.

Mia and Lief were magnetic from the time they met. It was pure pleasure watching them navigate their sizzling chemistry while dealing with past pain and present struggles. This is a couple I couldn’t help rooting for, I really wanted them to figure out a path to happy.

Add in the family that is Sunder and this was a great time to see where previous favorites are now as well as meeting some brand new friends!

Waiting For My Queen ~ Georgia Cates ~ New Release and Review


🔥🔥 HOT NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥
The wait is over! Waiting for my Queen by Georgia Cates is LIVE!! #OneClick today!
BLURB
Emilia— All I’ve ever wanted was to marry for love. But girls like me don’t have that luxury. We are used as pawns in a game we can’t control. The game? It’s called Mafia. I was foolish enough to try to change the rules… and I lost.

Luca— She was promised to me years ago. And he dared to take her from me. Dared to touch what was mine. I put an end to that. I hope he’s enjoying the view from his dirt room.

Emilia— My beloved’s killer placed a ruby ring on my finger and called me his queen. But that red gem symbolizes something different for me. It represents the blood shed by those I love most. Hell was empty the day we wed. Because the devil was standing before me and said “I do.”

Luca— I saw her as a possession. A shiny toy I didn’t want other boys to play with. But she’s so much more. Beautiful and brave and strong and broken all at once. She tastes like everything I’ve ever wanted.

Emilia— Hidden and patient. I wait for the perfect time to seek my revenge. But slowly, I feel him possessing me. His heart is full of darkness… and I still want every inch of him. Hard as I try, I can’t escape loving this beautiful monster.

Luca— I’m waiting patiently because I already know that she’s mine. Mine in a way that no one will ever understand. Even if she hasn’t yet realized it. For love, I’d do anything. For her, I’d do everything.

Review Copy Provided by Author


Georgia Cates is an author that I’ve read before, but not for several years. I was curious to see what Waiting for My Queen was about.

Having finished this well written story - I think one key thing for people to remember, this book is set in 1978. While that doesn’t make it a “historical” read, the time and the background of mafia families does influence attitudes and actions.

Emilia and Luca are both interesting characters. She was easier to like at first and I continued to like her through the story. He was harder to get to know, but the complexities of who he was ended up making him unique and surprisingly likeable by the end.

One of the things I found most entertaining about Waiting For My Queen was the fact that, despite a rough start and questionable motives, both Luca and Emilia ended up making efforts to build a real relationship. Add in a colorful secondary cast and this is a book that has me wanting to go find the books by Ms Cates that I have missed.

 

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR Georgia resides in rural Mississippi with her wonderful husband, Jeff, and their two beautiful daughters. She spent fourteen years as a labor and delivery nurse before she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an author and hasn’t looked back yet. When she’s not writing, she’s thinking about writing. When she’s being domestic, she’s listening to her music and visualizing scenes for her current work in progress. Every story coming from her always has a song to inspire
