That moment your life changes.

That moment that changes your life.

That moment you love someone more than you love yourself.

That was the moment we gave our son up for adoption and the moment I was left bare. A wide-open space that would forever be empty.

There are moments that define you as a person, moments that prove just how strong you are, moments you push yourself to keep going forward when all you really want to do is give up. It was in one of those moments when I reached out and found him waiting for me.

When Shelby Calder left home fifteen years ago, she never planned on returning to the Alaskan town she left behind. But after the death of her grandfather and a bitter divorce, she hopes going home will be a fresh start for her and her ten-year-old son.

Zach Watters has made a lot of mistakes in his life. But when he sees Shelby Calder, looking more beautiful than ever, standing outside her childhood home, he promises himself that letting her go won't be a mistake he ever makes again.

Some things never change and love is one of them.

5 Star Review for Rush by C.A. Harms

Title: Rush

Series: Montgomery Men #1

Author: C.A. Harms

Genre: Contemporary/Suspense Romance

Release Date: Available Now

I was running from my husband, a man I thought I’d known. 

Running from the hell he had put me through. 

He’d nearly destroyed the woman I had once been and 

I would do whatever it took to regain my freedom. 

I would lie, and cheat. 

I would steal if it meant that I never had to go back there. 

I’d run and keep running… 

But there was one problem. I hadn’t planned for Ashton Montgomery. 

He was a distraction I couldn’t allow. Not if I wanted to stay safe. I had to remain distant, but he was relentless and had other ideas. 

I caved because I hadn’t thought it all through, not in detail. 

If I had I would’ve realized that you can only live in a fantasy world for so long before everything came crashing in around you. 

And those lives you’ve destroyed along the way, make you no better than the monster you were trying to break free from. 

How could I have been so careless? 

It wasn’t meant to turn out this way. 

But the Rush of my freedom took control and I forgot how important it was to keep the secret of who I had once been. 

And now I had nothing. 

Only the fear that the man I’d run from would find me again, and finish what he started. 

I found Rush to be a little darker than Harms previous books. This book touches on the subject of domestic violence, it in and of itself is a dark subject. Harms handles this portion of the story well. She talks about it but not so much that it bogs the book down and making it a gritty read. 

I felt for Kinsley's character, especially when she was dealing with her father. So much was left unsaid but I was happy that she got some sort of closure. 

Her relationship with Ashton is exactly what she needs. He helps to build her back up and repair what her ex destroyed. They are perfect for each other and are probably my favorite of all of Harms' characters. 

This book is perfect for those looking for an alpha male romance, and for fans looking for another great book from this author.

"It's raw, I am literally STRIPPED of emotion right now. It's racy, Ashton is SO FREAKING HOT, I swear I'm on fire." - Bookalicious Babes Blog 

"This book gutted me in certain places and made me laugh in others. But most importantly it was amazing.." - Reader Review

"Ashton Montgomery will steal your heart!" - Author Kaylee Ryan

She’d turned on her heel and begun to walk toward my office door when without a second thought I hooked her around the waist and pulled her body back against my own. She yelped, but I didn’t let it halt me.

The smell of her perfume mixed with her shampoo filled my nostrils, and for a moment I just took in the fragrance. I had never smelled anything more appealing. “Let me prove it to you,” I whispered. She was tense in my arms, and I knew I needed to tread lightly. Something told me that telling her I wanted nothing more than to pin her against the wall, reach beneath her skirt, and find the spot that drove her crazy would only terrify her. Yes, my usual tactics would not work on Kiera.

“Have dinner with me,” I whispered against her ear. “You pick the place and the time, anywhere you want.” I fought the urge to demand her presence, which was my usual method because most women I ran across said yes without hesitation.

But she wasn’t like the women I’d been with in the past.

“Today was refreshing after all the tension faded,” she confessed, and I felt relieved that she thought so too. But it faded as she continued to speak. “I think it’s best that we keep things between us strictly professional. I just don’t have room in my life for anything more.”

I felt like she’d just kicked me in the nuts.

“I don’t know what happened to you,” I said in return, and though she tensed in my arms again, I went on. “I don’t know why you’re so scared of giving this thing between us a chance, but I won’t give up. It’s not who I am, Kiera. I’m a fighter, and when I have my sights set on something I want, I don’t give up until I’ve won.”

I moved closer, making sure she could feel my lips against her neck when I continued to talk. “And you are all I think about. It’s quite distracting.”

Chills covered her neck and shoulder as she shivered in my arms.

Fighting my arousal was becoming more and more of a challenge. I was so fucking wired and turned on I felt like my balls were about to explode.

“I don’t lie, and I don’t hide the way I feel.” I closed my eyes tightly and tipped my head just enough that her hair brushed against the tip of my nose. God, her scent was pure heaven. “I want you, Kiera,” I confessed, becoming lost in her presence, lost to the feel of my body pressed tightly against hers. “I know that seems to terrify you, but I need you to know. I won’t stay away; I can’t. I want to feel you against me, hold you close, and hear the sound of your pants in my ear. I won’t lie to you, Kiera,” I reiterated. “I won’t ever lie to you.”

I pressed a soft kiss against the base of her neck, and for a moment she went stock-still. As if she was terrified of what I may do next. That thought left a bad feeling in my stomach. Did she actually think I would force her to do anything she wasn’t completely willing to do?

I slowly released her, stepping back to put some space between us. My own heart was racing, and she wasn’t the only one that needed some distance.

She kept her back to me as we both remained perfectly still, just calmly breathing. I didn’t speak for fear of spooking her. I’d already told her my intentions. I hoped that was enough.

And when she reached for the door, pulled it open, and walked out without looking back, I felt like she took a part of me with her. I sagged in disappointment as I listened to the fading sound of her heels clicking against the tile floor.

C.A. Harms is like any other addicted reader. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories. She hasn't always been a lover of Romance and had once been addicted to a good Mystery. Just recently she has taken on a new liking and now is a full blown Romance novel addict.

She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. You will always find her with her kindle or paperback in hand as it is her favorite pass time.

4 Star Review plus Giveaway for I Like Big Dragons And I Cannot Lie by Lani Lynn Vale

Title: I Like Big Dragons and I Cannot Lie Series: The Dragon Series #1 Author: Lani Lynn Vale Genre: Paranormal Romance

Keifer Vassago, The Prince of Dragons, has enough on his plate without adding a brunette with a bad attitude to the mix Fate has a way of screwing all his plans, though, whether he wants them screwed or not. One second he’s fetching his brother from yet another situation that could possibly compromise the Vassago name, and the next that brunette is grabbing his assets. Blythe isn’t after anyone’s assets, though. She’s a good girl. All she wants is to graduate from nursing school, get a job, and move out of her hell hole apartment. What she does not have time to deal with is a sexy bearded man that accuses her of grabbing his junk. She tries to forget about the encounter, but fate’s a cruel bitch. One second she’s a normal college student barely living paycheck to paycheck, and the next she’s setting her panties on fire with powers from an ancient immortal dragon. To add insult to injury, she’s hearing voices, and none of them are figments of her imagination. Blythe’s life is turned upside down, and Keifer forces her to adapt even though she doesn’t want to. She likes her life just the way it is. Not to mention she wants nothing to do with that arrogant asshole. She doesn’t care that he rides a dragon. She also could care less about his stupid beard, and his sexy eyes. Yeah, who was she kidding? She wasn’t convincing anybody.

Lani Lynn Vale is known for her contemporary/suspense romance and she's pretty good at it. She has decided to change things up and venture into the world of paranormal and fantasy. It's a huge leap, especially when you've built your whole career on one specific genre.

I'm a huge fan of Vale's and couldn't wait to read this book. I have to admit that with my excitement, there was a little skepticism. Upon reading it, I realized that the author does have a good thing here.

The story is about humans and dragons. Dragons roam the earth and humans are their riders. They have a deep connection and are able to communicate telepathically. The enemies are called purists. Uber religious people who basically feel that dragons are an abomination. Unlike Vale's other books, it seems this series will have a common enemy that will carry over to each book. So reading each book as a standalone is most likely an impossibility.
 
The storyline was a little shakey at first. It was almost like the concept was being forced at you. You can tell that this was new for her. I applaud anyone who is willing to try something outside of their comfort zone. 

The hero of this book is Keifer, Prince of Dragons. He is to be king but us reluctant to take the throne. Why? Part of him feels he doesn't deserve it. His father was a great king but he died. Now Keifer has to step into his shoes. He's basically doing the job of king, minus the title. I can understand Keifer's reluctance in ascending the throne. His pops was supposedly a badass king who everyone loved. Stepping into his place means that he has a high standard he must reach. It means he has to be as good, if not better than his father. That in of itself would leave me sweating. 

Keifer has an ally, Blythe. She's human. They meet unexpectedly and create a tidal wave of changes that begin to happen to them. Blythe knows of dragons but doesn't know of all the magic that goes with them. So when magical things begin to happen, she thinks she's going crazy. I don't blame Blythe for reacting the way she do. Let's be honest, she actually takes it better than the rest of us. I probably would have went screaming for the hills. 

When Blythe and Keifer come together, it's like an explosion. These two are meant to be. I loved reading about them and can't wait for more about these two. 

Vale did a great job with this book. You can tell some of her contemporary romance writing bled over into this story. With some books it wouldn't work but with her it does. By creating a good mix of genres she is able to open her books up to a new wave of readers. I think this is going to be a fantastic series that will only get better as it progresses.

“Holy freaking crap!!! This book is absolutely nothing like I expected and everything I could ever want in a paranormal. This is Lani Lynn Vale’s first foray into paranormal and let me tell you she knocked it out of the park.” - Devious Book Blog

I woke up to my lower half on fire.

At first, I thought it was just an aftereffect of my dreams, but when I finally peeled my eyes open, I could smell smoke.

When I opened my lids and looked down, it was to literally find my panties on fire.

I screamed and rolled; rolling so far in the bed that I hit the floor and kept going.

By the time the fire was finally out, my panties were burned to ash. However, my skin was perfectly fine. In fact, the hairs that I’d planned on having waxed later in the week were gone.

It’d given me a fire waxing…minus the wax.

“What the fuck?” I yelled, staring down at my now hair-free mound.

Blasphemy.

My eyes widened and I looked around. Was someone in the room with me?

I started reaching for the lamp but couldn’t find it. There was a pile of things beside the bed that I’d knocked over in my haste to get up. I could only assume that the lamp was one of those things.

“Light, light, light,” I chanted, shifting through the things on the floor.

My candles that I had interspersed around the room all lit at once, and I screamed.

“What the hell is going on?” I shrieked.

Macy started hammering on the wall, or her boyfriend. Whatever. Fuck her.

I narrowed my eyes at the wall.

That stupid heifer! I’m allowed to scream if I want to. She fucks day and night, and she’s going to bang on my wall to get meto quiet down?

Master Farrow has always had excellent stamina with the ladies.

I froze, turning around and scanning the room.

“Who’s there?” I asked nervously.

A deep, rumbly laugh filled my head and my eyes widened.

“Holy mother of God, get out of my head!” I yelled.

The voice in my head continued to chuckle. Oh, this is almost as good as when Prince Keifer came into his powers. He didn’t shriek like you do, though.
