AJ grew up in Perth, Western Australia. She is the third of six children and her first exposure to romance was her parents. Now married for over 55 years, they have always been her example when working on her own marriage and parenting skills. Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters and Georgette Heyer, were the writers she grew to love in adolescence and still loves now. Her list of favorite authors now has grown to include, not only historical but also contemporary authors as well. Sadly, she doesn’t have as much time to indulge in novels as much as she would like. Her family and now writing her own novels, keeps her very busy, but you will always find a book on her nightstand and hundreds on her Kindle. Other hobbies include cooking, one her favorite television shows is The Next Iron Chef on Food Network, and traveling, the UK and the Caribbean her favorite places to visit.

           Savior captivates the reader from the first page to the last. The anticipation builds as you read to find out if Good will triumph over Evil & if Piper will find happiness. Reading Savior will cause you to go through every possible emotion in a short time span, in a good way. I love that Nicole can make me feel everything that the character feels and goes through. She causes you to care for the characters and get invested in the story. Savior has romance, suspense, interesting & intriguing characters, sizzling sex scenes, and love. Not to fear, there is a happily ever after. There were twists and turns that I didn’t expect and won’t have guessed. The hero / male main character is a former marine. Savior is the fourth book in the First to Fight Series. This story can be read as stand alone.

        Piper Sienna Davenport is running / moving constantly after her friend and twin sister were murdered. She was attacked as well, but survived. She testified against her ex-boyfriend and sent him to prison. Piper is still being hounded by a reporter. It seems like every time she gets settled in a new place, the reporter finds Piper again. Piper was able to protect herself and cope the best that she could. Piper is stronger than she knows. When she goes to work at a bed and breakfast, Piper/Sienna meets the local cop Logan. Piper/Sienna is attracted to him, but knows that she needs to keep her distance. 

       Logan Blackstone is an ex-marine and local police officer. He is dealing with his own secrets & past when he mets Piper/Sienna. Logan is not very trusting of anyone who is around/works for his family. He can tell that Piper is running from something and is scared. Logan is attracted to Piper and feels protective of her as time goes on. As a killer starts to target women in town, Logan and the police department must find and stop him before more women die. Logan is a sexy & very bossy alpha male. 

       I love that Logan finally gets his story. I appreciate that I/we get to catch up with all the other characters from the previous books. I loved Savior’s storyline / concept. It is very believable and realistic. The characters have their own secrets and pasts that they don’t want to talk about. They need help to heal. Logan and Piper are stronger together. Can they save each other? I volunteered for this arc book. This is my unbiased review. I loved this story and chose to purchase this book after reading it. I highly recommend this book.

I thought I put my past behind me.

I lost everything when I testified against my fiancé for the murders of five women. After the jury delivered a life sentence, I ran. I hoped if I could disappear, maybe the horror he caused would, too.

When I return to Florida for the first time after his conviction, I’m determined to face my fears and get my life back. Then, a woman is murdered and I’m the only one who believes her death features the same signature as those I’m trying so hard to forget.

Instinct tells me to run again, but local cop Logan Blackwell has never let a suspect–or a woman–get away. He’s made it his own personal mission to solve the case and he needs my help to do it.

I have no choice once we learn I’m the next target, but I’m not interested in getting close to another man, especially not a sexy former Marine who has secrets of his own.

This is a FULL-LENGTH, STANDALONE, with NO CLIFFHANGER

Out of the darkest evil will come the strongest love. The Bratva is changing, but whenever there’s change, there’s resistance. I have to prove I’m one of them or else I’m dead. I wasn’t prepared for what they wanted. They gave me a young and beautiful woman, to defile and break. With a gun to my head, it’s not like I have a choice. I’ve never met a woman like her. Damaged, just like me, but with a clever mind that she knows is a dangerous weapon, and curves for days. Every second I spend with her, it becomes less about business, less about the darkness I’m trying to leave behind, and more her. About us, against the world. We’re going to rise above the shadows the Bratva have cast on us. They made a dangerous mistake. They bound her to me in a way that those monsters could never comprehend. She has a part of my soul now, and I have a part of hers. Soulmates, in a way. I’m a bad man, but I’m going to do right by her. I’m going to prove to her that even in the darkness, there’s always something worth fighting for. I’ll kill them all for her. When it’s all over, and she doesn’t need me for revenge anymore, we won’t be able to walk away from our love. She’s been taken by the hitman, and I won’t let her go. A full length Standalone Romantic Suspense novel. No Cliffhangers. Safe from cheating. Dark romance. Explicit language & swearing.

Three Under The Mistletoe: A Billionaire Christmas Menage Romance

Tia Siren (Author)

      
         Three Under The Mistletoe is a story about two friends and a young woman. This story has love, a steamy menage, sexy billionaires, intriguing characters, mistletoe and a happily ever after. There are also interesting secondary characters that I hope will have their own stories written soon. Three Under The Mistletoe is told / written in alternating POV’s. 

      McKenzie Wallace is a new employee to KPS. She likes to be called Mac. Mac is a computer scientist or coder. She is from a small town and is not used to the attention from the men. Mac is shy and nerdy. She is smart and discovers that she has a spunky / feisty side. Mac is a gothic looking woman, who is flattered by the attention she receives at the office. Mac’s friend, Keisha gives her support, advice and insight into the bosses and their habits/interests.   

      Christopher Kinsey is a sexy Billionaire and one of the CEO’s of KPS. He is considered a player / playboy. Christopher is always looking for the next challenge when it comes to women. He loves the chase or game. The new female employees are usually the target of his short lived attention. Christopher is the public face of the company. He feels that it is his duty to loosen Patrick up. Christopher does have a soft side and a reason for his behavior. He wants to live like it is his last so to speak / no regrets, but someone may get hurt like himself. Christopher’s motto is that you only live once. Christopher wants no commitments when it comes to relationships, but women flock to him. 

      Patrick is a quiet Billionaire and the other CEO of KPS. Patrick is the brains behind the company. He is a shy, nerdy guy.  He is a workaholic. Patrick is not good in public or with girls. Patrick needs Christopher’s help with women. They like to “party” together with a woman. Patrick knows that the women will always choose Christopher over him. Patrick and Christopher have been friends for years. Patrick knows why Christopher is the way he is, but won’t reveal the reason to anyone. He wants to keep Christopher involved and part of the company no matter what anyone says. Patrick will not push Christopher out. 

     After spending time with both Christopher and Patrick, McKenzie gets to know and care for them, but Mac must decide between the two men. Patrick has strong feelings for Mac, but believes that she will not choose him. Mac discoveries that she is strong than she thought. Mac also learned that there is more to her than she ever thought. As the story progresses, Christopher, Patrick and McKenzie all learn a lot about themselves, grow and develop. 

      This is a short story, but the author allowed the reader to see / get an insight into the background of the characters. For one, Christopher was a character that I loved getting to know why was the way he was. I enjoyed that McKenzie came into her own by the end and was feisty. I happily volunteer to read this arc book. This is my honest and unbiased review.

So Tina is forced to go to finishing school in hopes of finding a rich husband to save the family. This does not sit well with Tina, but she doesn’t have any choice or say in the decision. She is a good girl. She enjoys school, reading and charity work. Tina decides to go out the night before she leaves to have some fun. Tina meets twin brothers at a bar. Christina is attracted to the sexy the twins. Things move very quickly between them. She goes out to the parking lot with the brothers. The three become very intimate. Tina does things that she never had before with the men. 

      Karl and Kato Smith are merchant marines. They are on shore leave and looking for some fun, when they meet Christina. The brothers enjoy sharing women and Tina is no exception. Karl and Kato are very attracted to Tina. After their time together, they didn’t exchange information and no way to contact each other. The twins were raised by their mother and know that they have a brother, Crown Prince of St. Venetia. The Prince does not know that he has twin brothers though.


      Tina goes to finishing school and is made into something she has never seen. Tina is waxed, plucked, groomed and dressed up. She is told that she is to be called (go by) Lady Christina from now on. Tina is to attend fancy parties instead reading and/or doing charity work. Tina likes her old name, but she does like how she looks. At a party, she meets the Crown Prince of St. Venetia. She is surprised at how much he looks like Karl and Kato. Prince Kristian notices Lady Christina and is very interested in her. Tina feels the same attraction at she did with Karl and Kato. She continues to think about them. Prince Kristian and Lady Christina spend part of the night talking. She tells him about the charity work and offers to show it to him. They enjoyed themselves and make plans for the next day. 

      Karl and Kato are dirty talking, alpha males. Prince Kristian is an alpha male as well.They are very large, gifted men. Lady Christina is the glue that keeps them together / makes things work. But can they make it work for the long term? Will everyone be happy? I there a happily ever after for them all? You have to read it to find out. This is a menage with brothers where it is centered around a woman. There are many scorching sex scenes where a fan might be needed. I like that Tina was intelligent, independent and care about others, ie charity work, but had a naughty side. This story is does have some things that I didn’t expect or see coming. The characters did have depth / layers to them. This is my first book by Cassandra Dee. I definitely plan to read more by this author. I love a good menage! 

 I was gifted with this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

     Bandit Bound is a book with a modern day Robin Hood type of theme. It does start of slow, but picks up as the story goes along. Savannah and Vincent do have a happily ever after. There is some action and steamy scenes. Bandit Bound has a bad boy with a dirty mouth. Yum! I like the play on Savannah’s last name.
