Life, As Is by Brenda Thornlow Review

 

Synopsis:


Here's my story: I go to bed with my husband Greg in late 2013 in Brooklyn and the next morning I wake up as my twenty-six year old self in 1997! I'm 3,000 miles away from home in California, living with my crazy guitarist ex-boyfriend. I reconnect and hook up with Jim, an old flame that I lost touch with in my teens. Then, as soon as I manage to get my life on track and help my younger brother Caelum get back on his feet, I fall asleep while watching T.V. and wake up in 2015! I'm back in New York but in a strange apartment with Greg living across the hall and married to somebody else. Oh, and apparently, I'm married to Jim! How did this happen, again?

Darra's Review:
 
Please forgive me for the wait on this review. It is absolutely worth your time! The first book of this Series is My Life As I Knew It. You must read this to understand what is happening in the book. I can say I really liked the first book. However Life, As Is, it's even better. I will not steer you wrong. The story is unique and you will enjoy all the characters.
The epilogue in the last book left it completely open to what may happen next. It is crazy how Brianna went back to her life before Greg. You can't help but root for Greg and Bri to stay together. Then Bam! She is with her past boyfriend, Jim.
 
I wish I could say my loyalty's stayed with Greg, but I couldn't help but love Jim. A little on the fruity side(obviously I am not a exercise freak. Shockingly, I hated Brianna. What a difference a person can change with the life and people she lives with. At the end, she hated her new self. Rightfully so. However she redeems herself. But then she wakes up in her life even before than. Just when you are happy in the direction her life was moving towards.
 
Really interested in what's to come with the next book. It will have surprises in it that will affect the rest of her life. Life takes you on all different journey's. Looking forward to reading Bri's next(past) life in the third book.
 
I rate the book a 4.6. Absolutely worth your time. Make sure you read the first book!
 
 
Check out My Life As I Knew It!
 
 
 
Synopsis:
 
What would you do if you were sent back in time for some unknown reason? When Brianna wakes up this morning she will be faced with that very question. Brianna lives in New York with her husband, the love of her life, Greg. She's happily married, has a great job, travels around the world and this year will be celebrating her birthday in style. Until the morning she wakes up in an apartment 3,000 miles from where she and Greg live, and seventeen years in the past! Returning to a life she hoped she would never have to think about ever again, much less relive!

Fantasies - we all have them.
For some it’s their dream job; others want the wedding, the 2.5 kids, the white picket fence.
My fantasies are a bit more...depraved.
Dark and sinful, they have destroyed relationships and my livelihood, yet I still submit to them like a slave.
Sex.
For most, it’s a natural expression of love, caring, or lust.
But there are those of us who can’t stop once we’ve had a taste.
Those of us who don’t want to.
And the shame of that never-ending cycle will eat us alive...

My name is Evan James, and I am a sex addict.

Meet Brooke Blaine

 
You could say Brooke Blaine was a book-a- holic from the time she knew how to read; she used to tell her mother that curling up with one at 4 a.m. before elementary school was her quiet time; Not much has changed except for the espresso I.V. pump she now carries around and the size of her onesie pajamas.

Brooke enjoys writing sassy contemporary romance, whether in the form of comedy, suspense, or erotica. The latter has scarred her conservative Southern family for life, bless their hearts.
 
If you’d like to get in touch with her, she’s easy to find - just keep an ear out for the Rick Astley ringtone that’s dominated her cell phone for ten years.

The Randy Romance Novelist by Meghan Quinn **Reviews for her awesomeness***



We're celebrating the release of The Randy Romance Novelist by Meghan Quinn! Check out my review and giveaway!


THE RANDY ROMANCE NOVELIST by Meghan Quinn

BLURB:
It finally happened, I lost my virginity. Cue applause and cheers.

For a while life was all rainbows and kittens prancing in a sky full of cotton candy clouds…that was until the demands of the real world set in.

My best friend is getting married and she asked me to be her maid of honor. She’s not worried about flowers, or the dress, or the food at the venue. No, she’s worried about the bachelorette party, what kind of penis crown she will wear, and the nipple size of the stripper who will be attending.

I’m in way over my head trying to balance life with a boyfriend, planning a penis party, and writing my romance novel. Something is bound to give.

This is my life after my happily ever after…

 


Darra's Review:

If you have never seen our thousands of posts on The Virgin Romance Novelist, then you must not read our blog and facebook. We absolutely love Meghan Quinn's work. Rosie has to be my favorite. Such great characters. Oh my gahh, Henry. I couldn't imagine I could love him more. Read this book and you will know why.
Make sure you read The Virgin first. A book that makes you accidently pee yourself. Not saying I personally did this.... Anyways, Rosie is the best friend we all need. Despite what happens to her and the crazy situations she puts herself in, she will end up becoming your new book best friend. You want to give her hugs, when she is not all estrogen out. She is a rollercoaster mess in this book. Also, the party. It made me start silently laughing and crying at the same time. I could not even make a sound because my entire body was shaking with laughter.
She is personally trying to get her life up and running. Henry is doing the same and is only imaging being with her in the long run(putting it lightly, sigh). He is on my favorite list forever!
Okay, Delaney is ridiculous and hilarious. That was a massive amounts of penis she needed for her party! Loved every page of it.

I read a part where I thought "OMG, did Megan somehow mentally absorbed the most embarrassing moment of my life? My first realization that I have a little Rosie in me. The fact that this happened to her as well as I made me feel a little bit better myself. Now Rosie and I have a moment we have shared and Megan never knew about it.

At this moment, I want to live in this book. Stand next to Rosie and just be part of the story. It was a perfect follow up book. Also, did Meghan have a little of Rosie deep down inside of her? My epiphany at that moment.

I cannot go on any longer before I bore you with my personal feelings. This is all about Megan and how she will never let you down. By far the funniest writer I have ever read. She has never wrote a book that didn't have me squealing with laughter. I have a hard crush on Meghan. Boob squeezes for everyone!

I rate The Randy Romance Novelist a 4.8. Too much fun to pass up.


Sunny's Review:

I love Meghan Quinn's books so I have been looking forward to this since I heard it was coming out. You do have to read The Virgin Romance Novelist before reading this one. I loved all of the characters in these books. Rosie is a spastic, crazy hot mess. I loved Henry from the beginning of the last book. He did make me angry at the end but he has made up for it in this book.

 Rosie and Henry are living together and trying to start their lives. I have to give Henry credit. I would have left Rosie so many times when she was being insane. He is awesome in this book.  Although he apparently needs to remember to plant his feet.  Rosie is working through the growing pains of a new relationship, finally having sex and getting a cat. She is still trying to write her book and uses Henry as a Guinea pig. She is trying to plan Delaney's bachelorette party. She has a lot going on. There are several LOL moments in this book.  It is another book that ,add Darra and I text each other while reading. Sir-Licks-A-Lot is back in this book and he might be my favorite.

 
You definitely need to get this book. It is 4.6 out of 5 stars

Her bosom heaved at an alarming rate as his rough hand found its way down to her soft, yet wiry briar patch...

Can you say briar patch in a romance novel? What about meat sword? That’s what it is…a meat sword, right, all meaty and sword like, slaying through the inner dungeons of a woman’s dark desires. What about breasts? Do bosoms really heave?

God, I have no idea what happens when private parts touch.

I’m a virgin trying to write a romance novel and can’t seem to write past a sex scene thanks to my lack of experience.

My two best friends encourage me to drop the pen for a while and gain some real life practice through multiple dating facets such as blind dates, online profiles, and random hookups.

But losing my virginity is proving to be tougher than expected…


About the Author:

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if "It's Raining Men" starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing... enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

When a new boss assigns her to an elite DEA-led task force, she’s put in close proximity to the one man she can’t shake: Connor Evans. For years, she’s been in love with him, and for years, he’s played yo-yo with her heart.

Abandoned by his parents, tossed around from one foster home to the next until his best friend’s family took him in, Connor Evans is the proverbial bad boy with a badge. For more than ten years, he’s kept Annabelle at a distance, convinced that his kind of screwed-up doesn’t belong anywhere near her.

When one case muddles the line between personal and professional, mistakes are made. Connor has no choice but to step up if he wants to win her trust and her heart back.

Kaithlin Shepherd is the author of The Callaway Series, The Brass Series and The Saints and Sinners series. 

Born and raised in Canada by a working single mom and a loving grandmother, Kaithlin surrounded herself with novels by Danielle Steele and Nora Roberts provided by her grandmother. Kaithlin quickly fell in love with reading. It was in high school, thanks to an English teacher, that Kaithlin wrote her first story (although if you ask for it, she will deny ever writing it) about a popular boy band. Inspired by constructive criticism, Kaithlin spent some time developing her love affair with words through more reading than someone would think possible.

After pursuing a higher education, Kaithlin, sat down with a pen and paper and decided to give writing a shot. With no false hope in mind, her first novel, Make Me Whole, slowly came to life. Putting fear and doubt aside, Kaithlin has published five books to date, and has eleven more set to be published in the next two years.

Wicked Stepy by Cory Cyr!!



Title: Wicked Steps
Author: Cory Cyr
Genre: Erotic Adult Romance
Release Date: April 1, 2016

If anyone had asked ten years ago, I never would have imagined I’d be a thirty-five-year-old widow today. I could tell you I married Hartman Wick out of love, but it’s complicated. We were friends. He was dying. And he needed me. He also made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Of course, I agreed with the very best of intentions. But we all know what the road to hell is paved with. All I ever dreamed of was owning my own gallery. A place where my best friend and I could introduce the masses to inspiring and new artists. Hartman promised me the deed to the gallery, wealth, and security for the rest of my life. 
Instead, I find myself in a war with his estranged son Kieran—my stepson and one of the most prolific painters, known for his erotic shock art. He’s been plotting revenge against his father for years, and now that Daddy’s dead, he’s seized the opportunity. Between the constant battles, heated exchanges, and threats of blackmail, I find myself inexplicitly drawn to this twenty-four-year old. He’s beautiful, seductive, arrogant, and evil. Not only is he a gifted artist, but he’s certainly inherited some of his father’s more unsavory traits. He truly is a Wick. But then he takes things too far and pushes me to my breaking point. I’ve had enough. In retaliation, I make a plan. And I almost feel sorry for him—almost. I’m sure, even as a child, he was never read a single fairy tale. Poor bastard. He has no idea how truly wicked a stepmother can be. Strong language, explicit sexual situations, M/F. F/F. 18+
