Obsession and Sacrifice by: Tiffany Carmouche

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. I would like to say that Tiffany did an awesome job with picking back up where the first book left off, which I thought was great. She also gave us the POV of all 3 main characters which let us see what they were really thinking and why they were doing the things they were doing. I felt this helped us to better understand Dylan and Bradley's motives. I am still Team Dylan but for awhile there I thought I would be very disappointed in him and that I wouldn't like him anymore but then he came back around and I fell back in love with him. Bradley is a great man as well and a part of my heart will always be in love with him as well but I believe for me its a best friend kind of love. I really hope Bradley will get his Happily Ever After. I will warn you that this book will have you crying throughout the whole thing, beginning to end. So you may want to grab a box of tissue, please don't say I didn't warn you. You will again feel the authors emotions as you read this book and you will feel what the characters are feeling which helps you connect with them in such a way that you will feel like you personally know them. I have grown such an attachment to all the characters, as well as hatred for the stalker. Please read below for some of the details but if you haven't read the first book of "The Alaska Series..... The Impostor" then you should go get your copy today and read it as well.

Not only does Nicole have a serial killer after her but she has other people trying to keep her and Dylan apart and they will do whatever it takes to stop the couple from being happy (well they try). Bradley is a friend who is there until the end and he is very loving and loyal. I love Bradley as well as Dylan. You will not regret reading this great story from the first book and I will say to the last book. I cannot wait for the last book to see how it'll end. The hardest thing I see about this will be the waiting.

Our fun story we made up on FB.

It began with a long dark night, in a creepy asylum with naked beavers who ran around screeching and biting off kid's heads and burping up brains while looking for some smore's and hotdogs. While bathing in hot blood with a rubber duck while singing ring around the moon red cheeks were mysteriously turning purple from a bloated pumpkin i ate. Infections from human intestines that were gassy and green spilling bloody shit that smells like cherries and tastes like candy riped with spider's and snakes that spit fire while humming "yankee doodle". While having popcorn and mountain dew that tasted so sweet like riped banana peel, the smell was a strong and alluring scent like sex, so smooth and sultry that they felt like they were made of guts and vigor that kept them from falling in love with everything. The naked beavers that terrorized the townspeople were running for other people. Their lives depended on outside help from a magic gnome but will turn into a leprochaun when he get's here and his gold villagers stole. While running naked he had killed two sexy men who assualted sexy penguins who were all blue with a virus that spread throughout like wildfire to his cave of sex toys. What will bring him to the cave of pleasure and do the candy corn and the cha cha mashed potato dance for all. The stars burst into a million skittles and rainbows while the leprochauns dances with the naked fairies and laugh at us but have a great time and fight with a wicked witch that casted a spell. On the kitchen counter was a very big dildo that was vibrating and making the room glow like a kaleidoscope that fits all the attachments for the dildo. While pleasing men and women yelling loudly that im cumming! at my mother's house that ive been banned and cant enter. But the pleasure box is still a public place so i must drink four and then drink more bloody mary's. I fall down and scream bloody murder when i see a naked beaver that was skinny dipping in a bloody pool of death with leprochauns wearing nothing but smiles and top hats and rings. Some say Frodo was happy and naughty because he loved the air when he smelled farts, crapped in the tin can and found at the walmart. It had a gas station bathroom to another world filled wth unicorns and wonderful things. The monkey that sparkled pretty because he was on speed and LSD which made him orange and very sexual. He was very horny and needed a hot and steamy woman to kneel down in front of him and pull down on his pants freeing his massive penis and say "yeah right!", while laughing she said "Come again ive seen bigger and better."  Then i wished i had a sexy watermelon that dripped all over my core and make me feel like touching myself while singing AC/DC. You play "Thunderstruck", to make me feel like a sex goddess feind who tastes like cotton candy and watermelon and apple pie with vanilla ice cream with nuts. That made me go into a sexual frenzy fit like a tornado gone wild. Wind and rain, lightning striked, and thunder roared killing everyone but me.

Thank you to those that played we have a very crazy story that may not make sense...but it was fun!

The Impostor by: TIffany Carmouche

This is a MUST read book that I would give more then 5 out of 5 stars if possible. The events in the book are based on the Authors real life history. This is a story that every woman should read to be inspired that there is hope out there but there may be some hard rough roads that you will go on before you see the light. You will also learn that there are still some good guys out there still even when all look bad from afar. This book will also teach you that judgment needs to be done with a clear head and not with a pure heart, go with the gut and if you can't trust your own then you should go to someone  you trust and talk it over with them. It will also show you what lengths true friends will go for you. It also has a mothers and fathers unwavering love for helping their children no matter how old in a time a need. This book had me crying and I'm not talking a couple of tears but a full blown "my best friend just died" crying. I felt like I was there with Nicole and Emily. I must also admit that I fell in love with both the main guys Bradley and Dylan, but if I were to pick a team I am totally team Dylan, don't get me wrong Bradley is great and part of me loves him too but Dylan really won me over. But like every relationship it can be complicated. I really believe all readers will love this book. I will give you a rough draft about the book, but I promise this book will have you wanting more which means its a good thing the second book has just hit the shelves. I cannot wait to read the second book to this trilogy and I'm sure that after reading this book that if the second one is just as good I'll be counting the days for the third. I just want to state that I Know that the second book will be just as great if not better then this one because you can FEEL the passion in the author, you can FEEL what she is feeling as she writes and that is a rare talent.

 This book is about a woman named Nicole, who is in her early 20's and has a daughter named Jessica who is Nicole's whole world. Jessica's father Ronald is an abusive jerk who beats Nicole to the point of near death often. She needs to get far away from him because lets face it he will never leave her alone and will continue to beat her until it's to late and no hospital will be able to save her. Nicole had a love for painting and was going to go to school and pursue a career in that but Ronald being the controlling abusive jerk that he is didn't want her to have any part of it and beat her to near death and she never picked up a brush again because that night not only did he crush her bones but her dreams as well. Ronald doesn't pay her child support and she is struggling to make ends meet for herself and Jessica. So when Nicole meets a women named Raven she finds she might have a shot at a better job with more money and a chance to start over in a state far away from Ronald and could finally be free. But that means leaving Jessica behind with her parents until she can get settled in and on her feet. She and her best friend Emily both go to Alaska for the higher paying job and new start. They both put in many hours and meet all kinds of new people some you will like others you won't. They're life is starting to look good. Bradley their boss is a great caring guy who will do anything for his friends and helps Nicole out the best in can in all ways he can. Dylan sings in a band that plays at the bar and is super hot and known as a womanizer, but is he really? Can he change?  Like I said their lives are looking better, even their love lives and Nicole is even able to bring Jessica to what Jessica calls "Alaska land". There is a serial killer on the lose killing women and it could be anyone, they could have even served the man in the bar and not know it. Just when you think Nicole and Emily will get their happily ever after things go so bad. Emily has to go home and Nicole is in grave danger, so Jessica will have to return to Maryland with Emily. The ending to this book is a very tearful to be continue end that will have you crying and ready for the next book.

I will post the links for the books and the Author's facebook page. Hope you enjoyed this and that it has you ready to read the book.  ~Cat~

Fairan by: Genevieve Scholl

This is a 5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this short story to all my friends and fellow book lovers. It's a great must read short story. The only thing is that I really didn't want it to end and now I'm dying for the next story and hoping it will be made into a full book. This is my kind of story I love magical beings. This story is about human like Fairies that call themselves Fairan's. Now Fairans will mix it up with humans and fall in love with them and marry them resulting in half human- half fairans, which is what Anabelle Perry is. Her human mother fell in love and married a Fairan. Then things get turned around for them, which you will have to read about because I don't want to give it away. I will tell you that you will meet a true full Fairan that goes by the name Derrick Fairan and he is totally hot and knows how to uh spice things up in a room. Remember Fairan's are very human-like in their behavior and looks to us regular humans so we will not know the difference. They could be our bes friends, cousins, or neighbors. What to know more then please go on Amazon and order a copy today, I promise you will not regret it and will be dying for more. I will be keeping my eye on this young Author because I feel she'll write a book that will make it to the movies. Just read this story and you will see why. The links are below.

Love Claus by Genevieve Scholl

This is a great 5 out of 5 stars Christmas love story. It's a short story that you will wish was longer. I finished it in a couple of hours because it was hard to put down. The love scenes in this book are so hot that your glasses will steam up, for those like me that wear glasses. This book will have you wishing it was Christmas all over. I would say that this is a must read Holiday book that can be enjoyed anytime of the year really. I can't wait until next December when the next book to the series comes out. Here's a little about the book. I can't go into great detail because I don't want to give it all away. Just trust me you will not regret buying this book, I know I didn't.

Meet Cindy Gingerman who lives on 648 Santa Claus Lane, which is a perfect street name for her because she really loves the Christmas season and anything that has to do with it. She is the only one in her family that celebrates the Holiday so as you can imagine it is sure to get lonely. While sitting in her home listening to Christmas music and feeling down she gets a delivery from a secret admirer, who could this mysterious person be? You'll have to read the book to find out.

Meet Trent Claus who is, yes you guessed it Santa Claus' incredibly sexy son. He's thinking that he may not really want to take over the family business and has already told his father so, but after being away from his home in the North Pole, Trent seems to be feeling homesick. He's busy working on something big right now so home may not be the place to go back to yet or is it?

Meet Joy Claus who is Trent's younger 14 year old sister. She's very insightful and seems to look right through you and into your soul. She's very protective of those she loves. She also has a, what I call, old soul- which is when one seems a lot older then one really is.

Meet Noell who is Trent and Joy's younger 7 year old sister. She's just super cute and fun.

Meet Holli Day who was at one point in time Trent's girlfriend. Will she be so again? Her name fits doesn't it? Or does it?

Of course you will meet Mr. & Mrs. Claus as well and all the Reindeer. This book is sexy and funny as well, I love the way Trent curses when he's upset, you will find yourself smiling if not laughing at those parts. There's some Christmas trouble that Santa will need Trent's help with but will Trent step up to the plate and help out or continue on with what he said about not wanting to be in the family business. Guess you are going to have to read to find out. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the Christmas season and loves a good romance love story.

Here's the links to buy the book on Amazon. I will put the ebook link and the paperback link. As well as Genevieve's facebook fan page.

Kilted Desire 2: Russian Roulette by A.B. McKinley

This book is a MUST read! I would give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. If I thought the first book was good then this one is great. It's another well written book by A.B. McKinley. He really knows how to suck a reader into the story and make them feel what the characters are feeling. I found myself feeling so many different emotions while reading this book. You meet a lot of new characters and some of the characters from the first book will also be present in this book. Let's just say that all rules are off when it comes to the good guys and the bad guys. There is some really ruthless betrayal in this book. I didn't see the betrayal coming until I was on top of it. So it will come as a surprise. Some of the people you think you can trust you can't and the ones you think you shouldn't trust you should. This book does not lack in the action or sex department area either. You will not be disappointed with this book, I promise you that. Here's a little of what happens in the book and some of the characters you will meet and ones you have already met. I would totally recommend this book to anyone that loves action, romance, and suspense. This book is not just a must read for women but for men as well.

The characters returning from the first book are:
*Katie- the girl next door, Scott's love and the character we all fell in love with.
*Tom- Scott's previous boss in Iraq and good friend. Also a bodyguard working for the PCPS.
*Brittany- the hot girl Scott protected for six months.
*Katie's parents and daughters- just mentioned occasionally.
*Michael- Katie's crazy ex-husband

New character's we will meet in this book:
*Chris- was in the British military (not with Scott's unit) and a good friend of Scott's. Smart and also a sexy Scotsmen.
*Sam- a local bar tender
*Jim Robinson- A billion dollar business man. Friendly and down to earth. Loving husband and father.
*Linda Robinson- A billion dollar business woman married to Jim. Also down to earth and friendly as well as a loving wife and mother.
*Kyle- son of Linda and Jim. Still in college and deciding what he'll do with his future.
*Tiffany- Linda and Jim's oldest daughter and business woman. Kyle's oldest sister.
*Katy- Jim and Linda's middle child and also a business woman. Kyle's older sister and Tiffany's younger sister.
*Josh- Katy's husband.
*Alexei- Kyle's Russian college roommate and best friend.
*Keith- a crazy low life on drugs and thinks he's tough stuff.

I believe that's all the main characters you will need to remember, there are others that will appear for a short while.
 This book will take you from Ohio to California and to Russia. Its filled with action in all 3 places.
Scott will be betrayed by some people and it will hurt all of us. He has been asked to help with some security issues and does what's best for everyone involved but when things go wrong it'll be Scott along with a few co-conspirators to save the day. Scott is a hero though he will never claim to be. He is then asked a very big question that will take some thinking before he can answer which will lead to our cliffhanger, leaving us dying to know the answer and wanting his next book right now.
In my opinion this book was great and I just know the third will be even better and leaving us wanting more just like this book did. Another great peice of work from A.B. McKinley.
Please go check this book out and read it today. Links to buy both book on Amazon will be posted below as well as his fan page on Facebook and his on-line store.

Kilted Desire: Sands of Betrayal by A.B. McKinley

This book is a must read and I'll tell you why in this blog. It's well written and has some great characters that you find yourself falling in love with. This book is a modern day story that's based on some true facts that the author A.B. McKinley went through in his life. This is an amazing story that you wouldn't believe someone could live through. This book will have you crying and to me any book that can make a reader cry is worth reading again and again. Would I read this again? Yes I would. I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars.  So I will give you some information about the book but won't give away the ending. I would definitely recommend this book to all readers.
  OK this book takes place in Ohio, Over seas in the Middle East, and Scotland. The book starts by telling you about the main character Scott Maclaren's past and what lead him to move from Scotland to Ohio and the events that happened are hard to believe, sad yet happy at the same time and the betrayal he goes through is painful. Then as you start to read further into the book things start to look better for Scott. My favorite female in the book is Katie Johnson. Katie is the "girl next door" kind, single mom of two girls, and in the early 30's. This is why I love her. A lot of women will be able to relate to her. She's sweet, sassy and can stand her own ground when needed. She has also been through some rough things but has put her children first. They do meet and fall in love and you'll get to read the story of how they met and fell in love. There's some very sexy sex scenes in this story and its written nicely. But like most couples they have their challenges. Scott does take a bodyguard job in the Middle East and this is where you will read a lot of action packed scenes. It's detailed and it's great, like you're there with him. This is tough on him and also tough for Katie, your heart will go out to both of them and you can understand why each feel the way they do. This is also where you will really fall in love with Scott. Not only is he sexy and Scottish but he's a true gentlemen. Did I mention Scottish, ahhhhhh.  If you don't fall in love with this character then I will print this out and eat my own words. While he is overseas he does still keep in touch with Katie when he can the whole time they're apart and does his best to go home and visit when he can. The person he's protecting over there is not an easy person and very easy for us readers not to like. There's something that happens to take Scott to Scotland for a weekend and this is by far my favorite part, as I love Scotland and hope to go there myself someday. If you really could say that you still have not fallen in love with Scott then I promise you will in these scenes, some people take a little more convincing then others. This is where I wished this was me, sigh. The sex scenes in Scotland are super hot and are my favorites. Life is looking good for the happy couple. Then we head back overseas for some more high action packed scenes and then some scenes that will make you cry, I know I did. I can't tell you how it ends but it's so touching and will keep you in tears and your heart will be in your throat. I hope this has you wanting to read it as it's a great book and they're is a second one out to this series which I will be starting next and I can't wait. The author has a Facebook page under Author A.B. McKinley and a fan page under   Scott McKinley Author/Cover model. He also has a website where you can buy things like shirts and other nice things, I'm going to try to post the links on here. Also you can buy his books on Amazon for a good low price for your eReaders.
