Between a Wolf and a Hard Place Review

I received this book in exchange for a honest review. This is definitely a home run for Nixon. She has weaved a story that is spicy, thrilling, and fun. Iris has met her perfect matches in Barron and Evan. One a bear the other a wolf makes for a steamy triad that Iris can't resist. Once Barron and Evan meet Iris they were willing t do everything they could to keep her. I found this book to be well written and I didn't want to put it down. Though Iris, Barron, and Evan were so different they had a combustible connection that could not be denied. I eagerly await more of this series.

Bargain with the Bear Review

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. I found this book to be sexy, fun, emotional, and incredibly well written. I loved the love story between the main characters Alexander and Sherry. Sherry is smart, spunky, and strong. Despite her tremulous situation, she kept a brave face and didn't allow her circumstances to break her. I loved her perseverance and determination to survive the best way she could. Alexander on the other hand was a awesome match for Sherry, a bear shifter who was everything that she didn't know she wanted and Sherry was everything he didn't know he needed. Moody and tough, Alexander wasn't a bear to be messed with but Sherry is the right woman to crumble all his walls. Nixon has a winner on her hands with this awesome series. I look forward to reading more from her.

Wolf's Surrender

Roth has done it again, another awesome addition to the PSI Ops series. This book tells the story of Alice and Brad, which is closely connected to Mae and Corbin's story. I truly enjoyed reading this book. Not only was it action packed but it was spicy and emotional and fun. I really liked Alice's character because she was sassy and smart. Despite her situation and environment she didn't give up or stop fighting. Which made her the perfect counterpart for Brad who was also a fighter who persevered despite his grim circumstances. Together they were combustible and it made for a delicious read. I look forward to lots more from Roth and this series.

Gabe's Fortune Review

This story was so awesome. I loved the the characters in this book. They were all so colorful and interesting. Both Gabriel and Adeline were beautifully written and complimented each other so well. Their chemistry sizzled off of the pages. Buying a carnival was not in Gabe's plans but he was drawn to do it unbeknowst to him he would find the woman that was meant to be his. Adeline had a tough time interacting with others due to her gifts but she finds in Gabriel safety and a passion that she can't resist. I found the carnival setting to be fresh and fun. All together this was a wonderful cast of characters and very well written. I look forward to more from the Prospect Springs Shifters series.

Act of Command Review

This book was Oh so good! I can't get enough of Roth's Psi-Ops series. This was about the leader of the Psi-Ops, Corbin Jones, who is a werelion who is always under control. That is until he scents his mate when he gets set up on a blind date. His primal nature swiftly takes over and unravels years of reigned in instincts. Corbin and Mae are so perfect for each other, I loved their chemistry. It made for a awesome and steamy read. I eagerly await more from this series. It was incredibly well written and developed. Filled with laughter, sexy, and action packed. Everything I want in a book. I would highly recommend it.

Review: 
Sebastian and Ava are the incredible characters of Layla Hagen's new book "Your Irresistible Love". Their combustible connection leaps from the pages to weave a delightful story of love, family, fun, and triumph wrapped up in a steamy package. I didn't want to put this book down once I started it. not only was it incredibly well written but it captured my attention from the start. I was swept up into the sexy chemistry that Ava and Sebastian had, they knew that the risks were high with them getting involved personally but they couldn't fight their attraction. I loved that despite Sebastian being a alpha billionaire Ava was smart, sassy, and could hold her own. She gave as good as she got. The whole Bennett clan was lovable and made me want to be a adopted Bennett just so I could hang out with them. Each character complimented the story perfectly. I eagerly await the release of the next story in the series. Hagen has hit a homerun with this new series.

Yes, yes, yes! Roth has turned out another amazing book in The Guardians Series with "Crossing Hudson" I didn't want to put it down to go to sleep, I had to read the whole thing.

A druid of her own review

Sexy, fun, warm, and action packed. This novella is everything I want in a paranormal romance. I found Kennard and Maggie to spicy and perfect for each other. Both of them were missing something in their lives and they found the perfect piece in one another. Despite their reluctance in starting a relationship, their connection was undeniable. Roth haswritten another excellent story. I look forward to more from her.

Heated Holiday Book Review

This story was awesome, just like the other stories in the BPI series. Roth has another winner on her hands. Cambridge and Cassie are two strong characters who find each other in the unlikeliest of places. Cassie grew up with hate filled purist who are calling for the genocide of supernaturals, but she wants nothing to do with this evil and cruel people. She makes it her mission to alert anyone who can help of the dastardly plans her fiendish stepfather has in store. On her mission she runs into the one person who will irrecoverably change her life. Cambridge never thought that he would ever find his mate but he literally walks into her and she saves his life and the lives of many others. Their connection is combustible, and spicy. I loved these characters together. I wish the story was longer. This story was fun, sexy, and very well written.

Monster Needs Your Vote Book Review

http://www.examiner.com/review/monster-needs-your-vote-book-review?cid=db_articles
 

In this current political season with the multitude of candidates vying for votes and trying to make political gains, it can be a complex and taxing time figuring out who should get your vote. A lot is at stake and your vote can be the determining factor in dictating how some parts of society is run. "Monster Needs Your Vote" by Paul Czajak and illustrated by Wendy Grieb is the perfect book about politics and moral causes. Czajak weaves an encouraging and fun tale that will teach children about the voting process and the importance of making their voice heard.

Using rhyme Czajak delivers an important message about standing up for what you believe in. Monster was a dedicated candidate who didn't want to let the citizens of America down. He found a issue that was significant to everyone and fought to get his voice heard. Education is a cause that is undeniably pertinent to society, so Monster ran his campaign of protecting and enhancing education and educational resources like libraries. Even when obstacles tried to stop him he didn't get discouraged, he knew that what he was fighting for was worth being persistent and rallying forward.

I truly enjoyed this story, and monster would definitely get my vote. With beautifully written prose and illustrations that were rich and striking, Monster wormed his way into my heart. I found his courage and strength to fight for what he believed in to be empowering, smart and refreshing. This book is definitely a winner and it is ideal to teach young children about politics, democracy, and taking a stand for what you believe in. Monster took a stand in a mighty way and this book will definitely engage your children in politics in a cute and fun way.

Prince of Flight Book Review

This review is for Prince of Flight by Mandy Roth:

Keonae and Lark's love story was thrilling, sexy, and emotional. Roth has spun a rich tale of finding love in the midst of trials. Keonae and Lark both were scarred because of their past, one mentally the other physically, despite that they're willing to put it all on the line for the one person who sees the best in them. They both don't think that their good for each other but their attraction is combustible. Being a bird shifter Keonae is exactly what Lark is afraid nevertheless they're willing to overcome their fears for a love like they've never experienced. This series keeps getting better.

Ambient Light Book Review

Ambient Light is a awesome story about Yates and Kelly two individuals brought together by a irresistible attraction. Their attraction is combustible up until they find out that one of them is a vampire and the other a shifter. Despite their differences they're exactly what each other were longing for. I enjoyed this story thoroughly, another great read from Roth.

Administrative Control Review

Administrative Control was sexy, fun, and action filled. I haven't met a Roth book I haven't liked and the Immortal Ops series excellent. Asher and Jinx are fiery and combustible together, they're the perfect pair.

The Ugly Dumpling book review

http://www.examiner.com/review/the-ugly-dumpling-book-review

"The Ugly Dumpling" written by Stephanie Campisi and illustrated by Shahar Kober is a wonderful book that retells the story of The Ugly Duckling. Being left alone and uneaten like his fellow dumplings, the ugly dumpling feels out of sorts and miserable. When a spirited cockroach shows the dumpling how amazing life can be the ugly dumpling realizes that there is beauty all around him. I fell in love with this story from the first page, Campisi's prose ensnared me and Kober's illustrations wrapped me up in a blanket of whimsy and vibrant delight. This book was charming and fun, seeing the restaurant from the eyes of the ugly dumpling and the cockroach was so fresh and added the perfect amount of adventure to the story. Kober was able to portray ideally what the story was all about, from the expressions on the face of the dumplings, the restaurant patrons, to the authentic restaurant scenery.

What also makes this book fantastic is the message that so beautifully comes across through the pages. It's hard being different, the ugly dumpling shows you that everyone is beautiful in their own right and diversity should be embraced. This story encourages being a loving person, self-love and loving others despite their differences and the peer pressure that you may be facing. I find this message to be so important and relevant to today's society. This book would be a great addition to any classroom and school library. I think that the early childhood age group will highly enjoy this book. This sweet story can be used in themes on fairy tales, diversity, bullying, Chinese New Year, emotions, and for both language arts and social studies. I highly recommend this story which will be available on April 7, 2016 from Mighty Media Kids.

Damage Report Review

5 stars for Damage Report, Mandy Roth has delivered another stellar book. Every time I read a book in this series I fall more in love with it. Weston a bear shifter has been through as lot now all he wants is to take care of his basic needs. When he good buddy Casey tells him he needs to find his mate because she was in trouble Weston never thinks he's find her trapped in a sex club. Paisley was in for more than she bargained for when she set off to find her missing friend and winds up meeting Weston her mate. They are both in for a tumultuous and thrilling ride, as they fight for their relationship and to save their friends. I loved Weston and Paisley's story, though they are so different they're perfect together. I look forward to more from Roth and this series.

Executive Decision Book Review

Oh my gosh this book was fantastic, scandalous, and spicy. I loved this story about Liz and Dale two best friends with more than friendship brewing between them. Liz has been burned in the past so she has problems committing to one man, now she is having an affair with her boss and this is the final straw for Dale. Dale has been wanting more from Liz for a long time now he just isn't sure if taking the chance is worth their friendship but finding out that Liz and their boss is together is the catalyst that propels him to risk it all for the one woman he can't resist. I loved this story, the more I read from Roth the better she gets. She is hands down one of the best romance writers out there, this book proves it.

Dance of Souls Book Review

Short, sexy, action packed, and fun. I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I found the concept of the ghost cats to be intriguing. Mason Blackwolf found himself drawn to stop at this bar on his way home, he didn't know why he felt this pull to this place, but when Chandra walks in everything changes for him. He is inexplicably attracted to her and feels a connection that could be life changing. Chandra feels the same way about the mysterious man in the bar. But what they both will soon realize is their attraction is deeper than they both could have ever realized. This was a awesome read, I just wish that there wasn't such a gap from the last page to the epilogue, I felt like I was missing information.

Act of Submission Book Review

Out for revenge Haven seeks to kill all who are responsible for the death of her twin brother Harper, especially Psi-Op Boomer. She has heard a lot of horrific details about the psi-operatives and how they operate but she is willing to sacrifice it all in her brother's honor. Haven gets a rude awakening when she realizes that things aren't as they seem and now instead of fighting to the death she is fighting an attraction to the very man she sought to kill. This book was awesome from the very first page. Boomer has a very dark past and it has left him with a wall around his emotions and around his body, but when he sees Haven all of that seems to disappear. I loved this book, it was a excellent read just like the other books in this series. Haven and Boomer are perfect for each other, despite him being a cat shifter and her being part vampire. Nothing better stand in their way of being with each other, not even the ones who mean the most to them. I eagerly await more books in this series, Roth has another winner on her hands. I would highly recommend it.
