A Huge Thank You to all my Favorite Authors. And reasons why you should love them!

 

 

 

For the last couple of years we have been given the opportunity to read and review books before they come out by fantastic authors. Some Indie, some already established and well known authors.

This is a Thanks to the authors for the chance to do one of the things we love most. READ! You have made us laugh, cry, emotional dysfunctional, happy and shocked. Movies don’t hold those feelings into just single words. An avid reader like us dwell on those books that truly affect you.

We understand, in each book the writer is putting a piece of themselves in the story. Open for anyone to put their judgement out for the world to see. You need to have balls of steel to write a book. A brain that wonders into other realms of imagination. And a heart that has felt all the emotions that the reader will feel by the time the last page comes to a close.

Brains, Hearts and Balls. That pretty much sums up a great author. It is a truth that a person can live hundreds of lives by just reading books. People like me stutter through our words when writing. So this is the reason why we are giving a shout out to those authors that can.

There are numerous authors we have truly loved this year. Some of the books are from last year but most from this year. Here are a few that deserve the love from all readers. Make it known which author moves you!

 

 

 

 

Meghan Quinn
 The Virgin Romance Novelist made us laugh at the most awkward moments. Like on a plane, by a stranger, who was trying to read over my shoulder. About a smoking baby powder missing briar patch. Read and you will understand.

 EK Blair

Bang & Echo. blew our mind. Jaw dropping and a unique story.

 

Mia Sheridan

Kyland. Loved Archers Voice and had to read her latest. I love her writing.

 

T.L. Smith

Antagonize Me. Can’t even explain what made this book so great. It is a reread. In fact, I will be doing just that this month. Just plain fun and enjoyable. This author can write all different stories. Don’t expect the same thing twice.

 

Shawna Romkey

Speak of the Devil. It was surprising. Intriguing with great characters. You get a peek into Hell. Or salvation.

 

Olivia Cunning

Insider. Liked the book, but I think it is overall Olivia’s books. They are all really great. No limit.

 

JL Massey

The Red Door. I read The Black Door this year. Very Dark. I will never forget that book. However it was The Red Door that sucked me in. This is a major warning to all people who do not like BDSM. This goes beyond what you expect. Pushes passed any limit.

 Colleen Hoover

Never Never. Both books great. Obviously Colleen is a big time author now. This is one of the best she has written.

 

I could write a 30 page essay of authors we have loved this year, but I am trying to limit my list.

Here are more honorable mentions. These authors are just as good as the above. However I would gab nonstop why I like the books and love the authors. Check out their links.

Sinder By Jane Devreaux ***REVIEW****

Synopsis:

 

A rumor can make you popular and it can make you dangerous. A rumor can change everything. Her black, too large eyes with too much makeup have already made shudder more than one. It has been said that her parents are in jail; that she beat up to death a guy who dared to make fun of her name. She is Sandre River. He’s the handsome popular football player. The one going out with the gorgeous and too prude Marcy Shepard; the one who has all girls drooling over him. He is Josh Anderson. Sandre will never admit she likes him. Josh will never admit his hormones are boiling. A single provocation from Sandre will be enough to turn their lives upside down. “You want my advice? Get yourself a girl, whichever one, empty your balls, and turn your brain back on.” Who would have imagined that those words could lead to an incredible love story?

Darra's Review:

 

We have read many books about a hot football player that all the girls trip all over. Josh just so happens to be one. However he was much more interesting than others I have read. Jane Devreaux hit it on target when she explained in detail how high school kids are horndogs. Yes, I know there are a few virgins. Which so happen to turn up in 85% of books. However reading about a kid with a boner the majority of the book made me laugh my ass off.

There was a background to Sandre that you have to wait till the end to finally know her real story. Which only makes me read the book faster. I am impatient. Forget dinner, I have a book! Usually you see there is a façade behind each character that is not considered  as the popular norm. Sandre is exactly that.

 

I am glad the book was translated into English because I truly enjoyed the story. This is a WTF ending and now will be sending emails to the author demanding the 2nd book to be translated immediately. Will, the nerd's Dad?!!

 

I rate the book a 4.4.

 

Sunny's Review:

I am seriously surprised that I liked this book. There are so many things that I don't really like in stories in this one but for some reason it all worked for me. Normally Sandre would not be a character I like. She was an outcast at her school and kept to herself. She is artsy and really smart. Josh was interesting. I really wanted to hate him but at the end of the day he was just a typical high school boy. I could not stand Marcy. I 100% condone everything that is done to her.

 

Once you read the book I feel like you will all be very surprised by the last sentence. Anyways, Sandre was really funny once you got past the anger. Josh was actually pretty entertaining too. There is a lot going on and I can't tell you how glad I am that I read this book. The next book is being translated and I can't wait for it.

 

I am going to give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. I am going higher because Jane made me like a book I swore I would never like. Go get it!!!

 

 

 

Excerpt:

 

A rumor can make you popular and it can make you dangerous. A rumor can change everything.

Her black, too large eyes with too much makeup have already made shudder more than one. It has been said that her parents are in jail; that she beat up to death a guy who dared to make fun of her name. She is Sandre River.

He’s the handsome popular football player. The one going out with the gorgeous and too prude Marcy Shepard; the one who has all girls drooling over him. He is Josh Anderson.

Sandre will never admit she likes him.

Josh will never admit his hormones are boiling.

A single provocation from Sandre will be enough to turn their lives upside down. “You want my advice? Get yourself a girl, whichever one, empty your balls, and turn your brain back on.”

Who would have imagined that those words could lead to an incredible love story?
