Book Party!

My wonderful Uncles Steve and Ron here on visit from San Francisco threw me my first book party last night and it was spectacular! It was held at my grandmother's home and it was filled with family and friends who made the night a very memorable one for me. The alcohol was flowing, laughs were in abundance and speeches were made that brought me to tears. Like one of my cousins said, I am here and pushing forward because of the amazing love and support I have from the people God chose to give to me that I lovingly call family :)

Someone to Love by Addison Moore Book Review

Someone to LoveSomeone to Love by Addison Moore

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I absolutely loved this book! On more than one occasion I was laughing out loud, biting my nails in anticipation and swooning with stars in my eyes over the romance. The characters are so real and easy to relate to. The steamy scenes were done to perfection, not too much or too little. The author definitely has a way with words that romanced me the entire read. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a hot romance!

Perfect for You by Kate Perry Book Review

Perfect for You (Laurel Heights, #1)Perfect for You by Kate Perry

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I downloaded this and finished it in 24 hours! The storytelling is impeccable, there's zero lagging or any feeling of being rushed. Kate makes me want to be a better a writer! I found myself rooting for the characters right away. I laughed out loud and got giddy and excited along with Freya and even her meddling little sister ;) The buildup is just the right amount of teasing and the payoffs, that's right plural, are worth it! Can I ask for more of Max please? So yum ;)

Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines Book Review


Fallen Too Far (Fallen Too Far, #1)Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is by far Abbi's best work. I was so intrigued by the characters, their interactions and the emotion flowing through every page. What was supposed to be light reading before bed turned into an all-night read until I was done. I had two hours to sleep before my alarm for work was set to go off! I found myself wanting to cry from the very beginning and finally shed a few tears in the middle and definitely at the end. I can hardly wait for the second book and I'm sure I'll gobble it up in one sitting again :) I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves , hot romances with a heart. The characters are well-developed, the story is spellbinding and the end leaves you wanting more!

Gabriel's Hope by Lizzy Ford Book Review

Gabriel's Hope (Rhyn Eternal, #1)Gabriel's Hope by Lizzy Ford

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This was a great spin off. I was glued to the story from the first page to the last. There wasn't any time during the story that it lulled or got so detailed I had to skim just to get to the next interesting part. This is what I love about Lizzy's stories, it's never too little or too much!

There isn't much I can touch on that isn't written in the description summary without reiterating it or giving away spoilers and honestly the summary is more than enough. What I will say is you won't be sorry you decided to read this story, I very highly recommend this book to any person who loves the supernatural, romance and a very well written story filled with believable characters and twists you don't see coming!

Two is always better than one...

I know it's incredibly common for self-published authors to miss a typo or make a formatting mistake here and there, especially those who do the whole thing by themselves like I did, but I had naively hoped that I was the exception. Silly me!

My sister, thank God for her close eye, found a timeline error! I caught it during my editing, but somehow still didn't fix the whole thing. Grrr!

I'm bummed about not finding this and correcting it before I published, but I'm more upset for the readers that have already purchased Unexpectedly Out of Focus. If you're reading this and you're one of the few who got this copy I'm very sorry for this error. I hope it didn't ruin the reading experience for you, my sister assures me it didn't ruin it for her, and sisters or not she's the brutally honest one of us three! :)

So the moral of the post today: A second pair of fresh eyes is always better than trying to do it all by myself.
