Review of Sara Zook's Six Guns Volume II

Six Guns Volume 2Six Guns Volume 2 by Sara V. Zook
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Six Guns Volume 2

Sara V. Zook

In this second in the series book by Sara Zook, we take a deeper look in to the life of Nicky Cain, former errand boy turned Mob boss after his father is murdered. Nicky is super surprised to learn that Carmine was his father and just choose to stay away following the wishes of Nicky's mother.

The deeper we dive into Nicky's world, the more we learn we don't know much about him and his girlfriend, Lilah. Taking over the mob from his father is tough. He has to be ruthless to show he can do the job, while hiding his true identity from Lilah. When one of "the triplets" is shot in a drop gone wrong, Lilah comes to grips with exactly who Nicky Cain is.

I love this series. It has everything you want in a book - suspense, angst, love, some sex and of course, an amazing plot. Following her first volume, you get twists and turns you don't see coming and an ending that has you wanting to know more. Excellent storytelling and plot have you reading this book in one sitting.

I can't wait to see what Sara does in volume 3.
I was given an ARC by the author for an honest review.

The True Death: A Michele Shepard Story (The True Death Series Book 1) RK Gleason

The True Death - A Michele Shepard Story (The True Death Series, #1)The True Death - A Michele Shepard Story by R.K. Gleason
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The True Death: A Michele Shepard Story (The True Death Series Book 1)
RK Gleason
Ok, so here's my story - my BFF is an author. She comes to the Pittsburgh area for signings and I go as her PA. When we go to signings, I look through the authors and stalk them on Amazon to see what they write. I stumbled upon RK Gleason, looked at his reviews (cause that's how I roll) and saw all 5 and 4 stars. I'm thinking, "Ok, I can give this guy a try" - #oneclick the sample. I read it and was hooked, no pun intended.
The sample of this story was outstanding. I got to the end and thought "ok, I get to see him tomorrow, I can either download the book to my Kindle, or wait until I see him and get a signed book". I waited, met the author, told him the above story, had my photo op and went on my merry way, signed book and Polaroid photo in hand. :)
This story is quite fascinating. It's graphic, descriptive, reader grabbing prose, draws you into the world of Purgatory. An amazing place after death. You have 2 rules to follow and only 2 rules. You never die (unless you break rule 1 or 2), you can be hurt, but you recover, you can drink, smoke and otherwise be a glutton and never feel the effects. Following the 2 main characters, Horace and Michele, on their mission to save newcomers from breaking the rules, the reader is snared by the adventure, mystery and ultimate plot in Purgatory.
RK Gleason spins a tale so elaborate, the reader cannot help but get lost in this book. The characters are hilarious, snarky, personable and crafty. The story captures you and guides you through a world that comes to life as you read. Maybe not for the faint of heart, because of the detail Mr. Gleason provides in some areas of the book. Still an absolutely incredible read, that I will definitely put on my read again shelf!
I can officially say, I will be one clicking the entire series and look forward to more by this author.

A Review of Just Breath Again by Mia Villano

Just Breathe AgainJust Breathe Again by Mia Villano
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just Breath Again by Mia Villano

Rating overview:
Story: 5
Publisher: Self
Author: Mia Villano
Length: (in pages) 186
Release Date: January 19, 2016

Jeannie Franklin has suffered the loss of her one true love. She never got to tell him goodbye. Killed in a motorcycle accident, he husband was her life, love and all the happiness she needed. Leaving her and her two children behind, Jeanie is devastated.

Finally accepting her future, she meets a man that makes her feel things she hasn't felt in years. But the ultimate act of faith comes when she finds out her oldest is sick. She needs to find her faith again, harbor it and make sure she believes, because this is going to push her to her limits.

I cried. I am not a crier but I cried. Like ugly, sobbing cry. Maybe it was "that time of the month", maybe it was being a mom with a sick child, maybe it was the writing and the story behind Mia Villano's Just Breath Again. Maybe it was all three. What I do know is this book was amazing.

In this epic read about Jeannie Franklin and all the losses she has to overcome, Ms. Villano weaves an emotional tale. Love, loss and the more sought after thing of all, happily ever after. A perfect combination for any reader of romance. I suggest you pick it up!

Beach Wedding - Bella Cruise Genre: Contemporary Romance




Title: Beach Wedding
Author: Bella Cruise
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 Release Date: September 23, 2015



Blurb

Three weeks. One quirky small-town. The wedding of the year. What could go wrong?

Big-city wedding planner Ginny Austen has landed the job of a lifetime. Her new celebrity clients want a smash hit TV wedding, and they’ve got their hearts set on a quirky home-town wedding. Her home-town: Pelican Key Cove, Florida.

Ginny hasn’t been home since she high-tailed out of town the night before her high-school graduation with nothing but a vintage pink Camaro and a broken heart. She’s spent years building a life of her own, but now she’s got just three weeks to face her past and put together a dream wedding — in a town that makes ‘eccentric’ its middle name.

Ginny may be determined to stay professional, but the inhabitants of Pelican Cove have other ideas. And between her crazy aunts, a TV producer who puts Macciaveli to shame, and a downright sexy former flame, nothing about this wedding is going to plan. Can she pull off the big day with her sanity - and heart - intact? Or will her reputation go down in flames -- on national TV?
