Review of The Billionaire's Bodyguard Bride by Lisa Weaver
Not your typical Billionaire romance.
A fast-paced romantic suspense.
The Billionaire's Bodyguard Bride is a quick and easy read filled with intrigue and sweet romance.
Rafe and Lauren are reunited with a business deal but neither of them can deny their attractions to each other. Watching this couple reconcile in the midst of a catty ex, a determined business rival, and secrets and threats, is a refreshing spin on the stereotypical billionaire romance scene.
A great summer read!
The Blurb:
Bodyguard Lauren Reynolds grew up lying to survive, while billionaire Rafe Dimitriou was raised to uphold a strict code of honor. The sexy billionaire's most formidable competitor, Milton Payne, isn’t as scrupulous.
Both Rafe and Milton are vying to gain control of Gracious Living. In order to make an offer, the company requires the buyer to be married.
Knowing Lauren will do anything to protect her brother, Rafe threatens to destroy her only sibling’s career if she doesn’t agree to play the role of his wife. Lauren accepts his proposal, but her motivation is far more compelling than family loyalty. She’s been assigned to covertly protect Rafe in the wake of threats made against the Dimitriou family. As his wife, Lauren knows she’ll have the perfect opportunity to watch over him without arousing his suspicion.
She’ll guard him with her life, but who will protect her heart?

Review of Becoming Moon by Craig A. Hart
Becoming Moon is a gem of literary magic that explores the psyche of a troubled writer.
Nigel Moon doesn't trust happy artists - looks like he just found the perfect writer to ghost-write for him.
Everyone has got skeletons in the closet and Hart's main character is no exception. Stripped-down and bare-boned, Becoming Moon explores the ramifications of growing up with oppressively religious parents, living with the guilt of dishonesty, and witnessing wicked acts. Hart's MC seems to embrace the expression "faking it until he makes it," sedating his troubled conscience with booze, a little weed, women, and recollections of the Holy Ghost while he struggles with his capabilities as a writer.
A great read that had me drooling on my Kindle in the wee hours of the morning.

Review The Magicians (The Magicians #1) by Lev Grossman
Note: The Magicians is like... if a fan obsessed with The Chronicles of Narnia found out that magic was real and was whisked away to college HP style.
Quentin Coldwater is a self-absorbed boy who fails to mature and manages to hurt those who love him most. It was like a marathon, with Quentin showing me the many ways in which he could disappoint me. Typical preppy boy stuff I guess. Aside from Quentin's perfectly flawed character, the book was really great and I could barely put it down. There were plenty of moments in which I laughed, was completely absorbed, and completely heartbroken (and there was plenty of wtf-ing).
If you're looking for something fun and uplifting, with HP-esque growth and friendship, turn away friends, turn away. The Magicians is nothing like Harry Potter but it was still a great read.
5/5 stars
Review of Getting Lei'd by Ann Omasta
**2015 Kindle Scout Winner!** Being jilted almost at the altar is not how Roxy thought her wedding would go. Getting dragged on her Hawaiian honeymoon by her excessively self-centered sister and outlandishly irreverent grandma is the icing on the horrible wedding day cake.
Can Kai, the resort’s hunky chauffeur/bartender/flamethrower, turn this disaster of a trip into a romantic adventure to last a lifetime? Escape with Roxy into the enchanting Hawaiian Islands as she discovers the joy of hanging loose and “Getting Lei’d."
Review:
A bride dumped, a spirited grandmother, and loads of fun in the Hawaiian sun. Who wouldn't want to recover from being jilted at the altar in paradise? After some redirecting by her free-spirited grandmother and sister - who is a bit on the selfish side - Roxie gets a second chance at love. Filled with spunk and sweet romantic scenes, "Getting Lei'd" is a great summer read!

Please welcome VINCENT ROBERT ANNUNZIATO author of 33 Degrees
I sat down with Vincent on the Long Island Railroad and chatted about how he attended Hofstra U but I couldn't because my acceptance letter never came with a scholarship. Needless to say there was plenty of heavy drinking on my part and a few tears. Anywho, why dwell on the past? Let's see what Vincent has to say about zombies, reading, and writing!
1. It’s the zombie apocalypse and writers have got to stick together to survive. Pick 3 authors to be on your zombie apocalypse killing team and tell us why you’d choose them.
Vincent says:
a. Suzanne Collins – because her worlds have creative ways of killing things. I think I would like to turn the Cracker Jackers on the Zombies and see what happens
b. JRR Tolkien – to guide us over the expanses of land so that we could find a safe place to live. Preferably with the elves.
c. Brahm Stoker – more for some comic relief. “You think what you wrote was scary, Brahm?”
Meredith says: I like the way you think. I could definitely hunker down in a hobbit hole, I mean, they're amazingly detailed and filled with wines, cheese, bread, and meat. I'm in.
Vincent says: I could spend a lot of time in a Hobbit hole and the Shire for sure!
2. If Stephen King and J. K. Rowling were drowning in a river, who would you save first? And now you have to tell us why ;)
Vincent says: Sorry, Mr. King. Has to be Rowling. I couldn’t put her books down and felt like I was a kid again.
Meredith says: Sometimes, you just have to pick your favorite :)
3. We authors are voracious readers. My TBR list is approximately 8 miles long. What are you currently reading?
Vincent says: I’m reading an independent novel called, “Tin Can Shrapnel.” It’s not my usual read, since I try to stay on top of what is popular in YA fiction. It’s a story that actually took place in Africa from the memoirs of Jennifer Skutelsky. It’s about Xenophobia and it is a very heavy, but very well written book. I could see this as a documentary.
Meredith says: We have some truly talented KindleScout winners among us. I'm working my way through their books. I love how the publisher has included such varying genres.
4. What is the one book that you could read a million times and never get bored with?
Vincent says: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
Meredith says: Thank sweet baby Jesus!! Another re-reader!!
5. Last year my favorite read was The Martian by Andy Weir. What was your best read of 2014?
Vincent says: a. Book Thief by Zusak Markus. I could not believe the quality of the writing. The man is brilliant.
Meredith says: This is on my TBR list. I've heard great things.
Vincent says: Please read before watching the movie. The movie does the book no justice!
b. JRR Tolkien – to guide us over the expanses of land so that we could find a safe place to live. Preferably with the elves.
c. Brahm Stoker – more for some comic relief. “You think what you wrote was scary, Brahm?”
Meredith says: I like the way you think. I could definitely hunker down in a hobbit hole, I mean, they're amazingly detailed and filled with wines, cheese, bread, and meat. I'm in.

Vincent says: Please read before watching the movie. The movie does the book no justice!
Meredith says: always read first, people! or this happens ---------->
6. This year my favorite read has been The Dog Stars by Peter Heller. What’s the best book you’ve read so far in 2015?
Vincent says: HASH by April M. Reign. Another independent. This is a sci fi. I loved the whole concept of the book and the way she handled alien life form.
Meredith says: Ooooh, another one to add to my TBR list!
7. You’re a writer by day and a superhero by night. (Take off those geeky glasses Superman) What’s your superpower?
Vincent says: I have always been a big Hulk fan. So definitely, I have a passion for strength. Readers may be interested to know that I am training for my first power-lifting competition in October. My father at the age of 69 is already nationally ranked. I’ll see what happens.
Meredith says: I mean, that's kind of amazing!! If you're ever in upstate NY swing by, I have heavy things I need lifted: boxes, groceries, cases of beer, jugs of rum, etc, etc... ;)
Vincent says: I’d rather lift WEIGHTS Meredith. My wife has cornered the market on everything else. :)
8. I have writing spots all over my house: my desk, my couch, the patio, and my bed. Where’s your favorite spot to write?
Vincent says: I write anywhere without discrimination. My first book was mainly written on a commuter train. If I had it my way, I would love to do a cross country trip and write on while rolling across the US on a nice smooth train ride.
Meredith says: I used to travel to Stony Brook via train back in the day. There's just something about it. A cross country trip sounds awesome.
Vincent says: Oh yeah and add some wine and a nice dinner. I think I am already there!
Meredith says: Have you watched Snowpiercer yet? Dinner on a train will never be the same...

9. We’re supposed to love all of our children equally, but there are some scenes I’ve written that really stick out in my mind. Tell us your favorite scene from your book '33 Degrees'.
Vincent says: a. I have two. Sorry. The first one is a scene in which I introduce a very mystical character to the main character. It is surreal, but believable. All I can say is that it involves rats.
b. The second, is a scene that is very romantic. I believe the ladies will like this. Kids in 33 Degrees are often orphaned in the Underground. They are called Feral. There is a scene where two characters are becoming romantically interested in each other. The male has very little idea as to how babies are made. Even though this story is told in the first person when the young lady has to tell him what actually happens she whispers when it gets intense or she is embarrassed. His responses of shock don’t help either. Ironically, the reader doesn’t hear what she says, but only see how the young man responds. I thought it was a very clever way to handle first person and really let the reader’s imagination kick in.
Meredith says: I love mystical characters and romantic hilarity! Have I mentioned I can't wait to read this book?
Vincent says: You have. Admittedly, I don’t get tired of hearing it. :)
10. Sometimes a little too much of myself slips into my characters. Which one of your characters most resembles you?
Vincent says: Tough question. My characters have very unique voices and I work hard to develop them. I would have to corner my lead male character as most closely associated to me.
Meredith says: Will there be any power-lifting then? (Joking, joking)
Vincent says: Meredith! You set me up!
Meredith says: ooops!
11. I’ve always got tunes rocking while I’m writing. Tell us five songs that are on your playlist.
Vincent says: a. Depends on my mood. Sometimes if I just want something soft I play Enya.
b. Otherwise you might hear in no particular order
i. Imagine Dragons – It’s Time
ii. Hall of Fame – The Script
iii. The Reason – Hoobastank
iv. Pompeii – Bastille
v. A Sky Full of Stars - Coldplay
Meredith says: I mean, it's like the playlist Gods parted two souls and I got half and you got half. Have you listened to the acoustic version of Bastille? I'm in love with it, absolute love, but my heart is broken because I can't get the track on iTunes (insert super sad face)
Vincent says: Are you kidding me? Acoustic version. Getting it now!
Meredith says: You'll never be the same after you hear it.
12. If you could tell an aspiring author one tiny tidbit of information, what would you say?
Vincent says: Make it interesting
Meredith says: Some more words of wisdom, people, conflict runs the show.

Meredith says: Truly, there is nothing worse than an uninteresting book.
Vincent says: I say this because many new writers tend to focus on prose without tension. You have to find the conflict of the scene. It’s not enough to just go out there and write pretty prose.Meredith says: Some more words of wisdom, people, conflict runs the show.

Review of '3 Women Walk into a Bar' by Linda Sands
Punchy, sharp, and freaking awesome.
'3 Women Walk into a Bar' is a multi-layered murder mystery.
Ex-stripper turned PI, Bill 'Free Willy' Tedesco is not your mothers Channing Tatum. When Tedesco opens his mouth he's witty, cynical, and tactful. In a seamless tale of the labyrinthine laws of love and how it impacts life, untangling the mystery of the three murdered girls will keep you turning the pages long into the night.
Since I'm from Central New York, I can't pronounce 'noir' but I can give this book two-thumbs up.

Review Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor
Unique.
Amazing.
Loved it.
These are all the words I can write because I'm still processing everything.
5/5 stars
Please welcome James Jackson author of 'Ant Farm'
I was lucky enough to "sit down" with Jim and ask him a few bookish questions before his novel releases on June 16th. Let's see what Jim had to say about Zombies, reading, and writing.
1. It’s the zombie apocalypse and writers have got
to stick together to survive. Pick 3 authors to be on your zombie apocalypse
killing team and tell us why you’d choose them.
Jim says: I know zombies about as well as I know
Sanskrit, so I did a little research and decided my go to guy would be Max Brallier, who wrote
Can You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse.
As they say, he wrote the book on the subject. I’m going to add Barry Eisler to
the team. Ex-CIA, he writes about a hired assassin. He’s a kick-ass kind of guy
with a good sense of humor – and we’d need that. Lastly, Stephen King – good
imagination to help us out, and I have to do something for him, because when
the time comes, I’m choosing J. K. Rowling.
Meredith says: Okay, don't tell anyone but I've never heard of Max Brallier! I looked him up, and found out that he also writes for the show Adventure Time, so he's cool in my book because that cartoon is hilarious. I follow Barry Eisler but he scares me. I think King will appreciate you choosing him for something ;)
2. If Stephen King and J. K. Rowling were drowning
in a river, who would you save first? And now you have to tell us why.
Jim says: Rowling. She’s younger and I already did
something nice for Stephen in question 1.
3. We authors are voracious readers. My TBR list is
approximately 8 miles long. What are you currently reading?
Jim says: I’m reading two books. I have fellow
Kindle Scout winner Linda Sands’ 3 Woman Walk Into A Bar on my Kindle and am
about two-thirds of the way through. In hardcover from the library I am about a
third through Michael Connelly’s The Burning Room.
Meredith says: nice
4. What is the one book that you could read a
million times and never get bored with?
Jim says: Nope – I get bored much more easily than
that. Just shovel dirt over me if you find me reading the same books time and
again.
Meredith says: You're killing me, Jim! (I feel like I've said this before, lol)
5. Last year my favorite read was The Martian by
Andy Weir. What was your best read of 2014?
Jim says: Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger.
Besides writing great books, Kent is a really nice guy.
6. This year my favorite read has been The Dog Stars
by Peter Heller. What’s the best book you’ve read so far in 2015?
Jim says: My favorite is Tina Whittle’s Deeper Than
the Grave.
Meredith says: Adding that to my TBR list
7. You’re a writer by day and a superhero by night.
(Take off those geeky glasses Superman) What’s your superpower?
Jim says: Marvel patented all the cool stuff, and
I’m not much into being a mutant. I’d like the power to stop people from making
really stupid economic decisions. I write financial crime novels, so I guess
there’s a tie-in.
Meredith says: Unique. I like it.
8. I have writing spots all over my house: my desk,
my couch, the patio, and my bed. Where’s your favorite spot to write?
Jim says: I write at a desk. Since I live in two
places, I have two desks. The one I am currently at is in a loft. Should I need
inspiration, I can look out a wall of glass to the woods and a small inland
lake in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
Meredith says: The view sounds beautiful.
9. We’re supposed to love all of our children
equally, but there are some scenes I’ve written that really stick out in my
mind. Tell us your favorite scene from your book Ant Farm.
Jim says: I don’t want to give the story away, so I
am picking a scene that was a lot of fun to write. In it the protagonist,
Seamus McCree, meets Mrs. DeGroot who is a hoot: she asks rapid-fire questions of
everyone in the group and leaves a cacophony of answers in her wake.
10. Sometimes a little too much of myself slip into
my characters. Which one of your characters most resembles you?
Jim says: Seamus McCree and I share many
characteristics with respect to interests and avocations. Unfortunately for me
he is younger, taller, smarter, better looking and richer than I. I must remind
him when he starts to lord it over me that with a simple search and replace all
that can change for him.
11. I’ve always got tunes rocking while I’m writing.
Tell us five songs that are on your playlist.
Jim says: I prefer to write in silence and so often
write first drafts early in the morning before anyone else is up. If the house
gets noisy, I’ll put on headphones and listen to background music—nothing with
words or I’m singing along and not writing. Playlist: George Winston, the
Hilliard Ensemble, maybe a bit of classical like Bach’s Unaccompanied Cello
solos, Goreki’s Symphony No. 3 or some Prokofiev.
Meredith says: love this playlist!
12. If you could tell an aspiring author one tiny
tidbit of information, what would you say?
Jim says: I read Jim Morris’s advice to “quit if you
can.” I have an entirely different take. I’d say if you want to be an author, don’t quit until you have to.
Meredith says: A few more words of wisdom, people.
Meredith says: A few more words of wisdom, people.
(I'd have a beer with Jim. He looks like an okay guy.)

A review of 33 Degrees by Vincent Robert Annunziato
A story about survival in a future that is bleak and cold. The train is brutal. Humanity teeters on edge. Conflict is just a page-turn away.
With the fortune of being tossed down a hole to save his life, Javin often reminisces of parents who echo of James and Lily Potter. Having spent the majority of his pre-teen years alone Javin is unrefined and bitter. Throughout the book Javin grows and matures to a man of strength and honor. Readers will enjoy a main character with the strength and grit of Four, a sidekick with the heart and innocence of Rue, a female lead who is tenacious, beautiful, and damaged; young-adult camaraderie and brutality of Ender's Game; a mystical character full of magical realism and totally unique; and, lastly, a Revolution style mystery to the history of the Pulse.
Everything you love about Dystopia wrapped up in a snow cone.
'33 Degrees' is a must read.

Eddie and Sunny by Stacey Cochran
I finished this book nearly two weeks ago and I couldn't even bring myself to write a review until now.
'Eddie and Sunny' is a bit gritty and dark. A novel about a family living on the fringes of society, where food, shelter and money are extremely hard to come by and morals are tested on a daily basis. Eddie and Sunny are not the people living off they system and driving a caddy filled with groceries bought on food stamps. To survive, Eddie and Sunny do some questionable things and get caught up in a lot of trouble. By the end, though, Cochran will have you rooting for the underdog.

Many things that stirred my brain but mostly the fact that to write a book like this you have to understand poverty in the American culture. I've seen a lot of authors attempt this but none so well as Cochran.
What do most authors miss:
1) mental illness - mental illnesses like depression, schizophrenia, etc is rampant and these people do not have adequate healthcare for medications and therapy. Or, they refuse help. This impacts the entire family and affects the ability for them to trust others who might help. It also, sadly, trickles down to the next generation.
2) Drug use during pregnancy - this hits me close to home because I am a neonatal ICU nurse, in upstate NY newborn admissions for drug addiction has skyrocketed. Let me tell you people, your life is forever changed when you watch an infant struggling to withdraw for weeks to months at a time. For this reason, reading about Sunny during her pregnancy truly tugged at my heartstrings. But on a positive note, at least she breastfed, which helps the infants withdrawal through the mothers breast milk. (Okay, I'm done ranting about that)
Eddie and Sunny is a great read that will get the wheels of your mind rolling. After finishing this book, be prepared to sit back and take a nice hard think about life and how much you really have.
