Undeniable by Author Jessika Klide reviewed by Stacy Eastwood

4 stars

I would like to start out stating that I almost gave this book a three, not for content but because I am not a big fan of cliffhanger books.  However, if you go into this knowing it is a serial novel, you will be well pleased.  Klide does a wonderful job of developing the characters personalities and gives glimpses of the past so you can understand why they act the way they do.  At the start, I couldn't understand why the author put some of the scenarios into the book; but as I read further I realized they are necessary for character development.  The scenes are descriptive enough to allow the reader to visualize the places the characters visit.  Lastly, this book is hot!  The main character Aurie Moore is a true Alpha male whose sexuality leaps off the pages and smacks you in your face.  The gentlemen's club scenes at Been Jammin are very well written and you can feel the sexual tension radiating off the pages.  Overall, this is a great start to a promising serial series.  

Calendar Girl Volume 1 by Author Audrey Carlan

4 stars

After devouring the Lotus House Series by Author Audrey Carlan, I had to dive right into the Calendar Girl series. Oh my word, funny, sassy, sexy and made me smile. I have found a new author that I love to read!!!

Mia is having no choice but to keep her family safe and pay off a major debt that her father ran up with the local bad bookie.....Mia goes to work for her aunt as an Escort. This is a 100 grand a month paying job. She needs the money. Of course, having to be a companion for these absolutely sexy men is not a hardship. And if Mia wants to have sex with them, she can. There is no reason she should not enjoy herself right?

Each month Mia goes to stay with another guy. Each has a different story and required different things from Mia. But she is just the girl for any job that is thrown at her. 

The men that she has meet in the first 3 months all were able to show how to love and be loved. I think the Frenchie may have been my favorite man of the month so far. 

But already started the next 3 months. So we will see.

Let me start by saying that I loved this book. I liked the fact that it has so much suspense mixed with a romance. The characters were all likable. I loved the story was set in a little town by a lake. The romance story was interesting and played out the way I wanted. I can not wait to read more from this author!!!

Erin Holtz seems to have it all but appears can be deceiving. She is pretty. She is a cheerleader. But her home life has changed. Her mom is depressed and rarely leaves her bedroom. Then there is her dad; high school teacher; who is the prime suspect in the string of murders in town. And they seem to be escalating lately. All Erin wants to do is get a scholarship to leave town and attend college. But then she would have to leave behind her little brother, whom she has been taking care of since their mom is not herself and their dad has changed.

Dimitri Kuklev had it all. Until one night of drinking and partying takes it all away. Or so he thinks. He still have his life to live. Plus his family has never left his side. Add in that his little sister's best friend, Erin, seems to be showing more interest in him. But should he allow himself to give into what he truly wants? Will it ruin the friendship that he has with Erin? 

When more girls go missing and bodies start turning it, things start to get weird. Dimitri is being looked at a suspect now that a couple of girls that are dead had dated him. Then when there are messages from one of the victims and Dimitri, things starts to turn for the worse. Now not only is Dimitri, the guy that Erin has been secretly in love with for years and her father are both suspects.

Can the real killer be found before more girls disappear? Will Dimitri and Erin be able to find true love in this dangers game? Or could Erin be the next victim???

Same Page-Book 1 in Bookish Friends to Lovers by Author GL Tomas

After seeing the cover and reading the premise, I knew I was going to enjoy this short read. I was wrong. I did not like the characters. I did not like the story. It was boring at times and seems to be drawn out. And the issues in the book were just a little much to see into. I mean who has a long distance relationship where they only see each other a couple of times a year? I know people in the military do this but thats not something that I want to read about. 

Then there is the issue of Timothy sort of cheating on said long distance girlfriend. Was it really cheating or not? I know that cheating can be a taboo issue for some readers but not with me. If the story is written well and you see all sides of the story then go with it.

I hated to not like this book but just was not my cup of tea. I know there are lots of reviewing enjoying it. I guess to each their own. I would try to read another book by the author.
