Book Review: Marrying Miss Kringle by Kringle by Lucy McConnell

Title: Marrying Miss Kringle: Frost
Author: Lucy McConnell
Genre: Holiday Romance, Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Orchard View Publishing LLC
Cover Designer: Christina Dymock
Publication Date: October 23rd, 2018
Frost buried her face in her hands, feeling all the pressure. Neither Stella nor Robyn had the potential for love yet. They were starting from scratch. But she had more than potential; she had an invitation. It was up to her to find Tannon; get him to profess his love to her; and save her family, the North Pole, and Christmas for children all over the world.
Oh, Tannon, I hope you’re ready to love me.
I found Marrying Miss Kringle to be a fun and lovely read. It is light in nature with a feeling of watching one of those Lifetime Christmas movies, but only in book form. I haven't had the chance to read the other Marrying Miss Kringle books just yet, but I imagine each one would be just as fun and sweet as this one. Frost knows that Christmas might not happen as Christmas magic is dangerously low. To restore the balance, she must find Tannon, get him to love her as she loves him,  and somehow rejuvenate Christmas spirit in a small town. I'm ready to read about the other Kringle sisters after reading this book.  
 Award-winning author, Lucy McConnell, loves Christmas, romance, chocolate and Elvis.
After graduating from the University of Utah, she became an editor at an advertising agency before moving on to teach in the marketing department of the local community college. She loved teaching and often misses the academic environment.
Lucy retired from teaching and began to write articles and sweet romance novels. She has been published in national magazines, newspapers, short story compilations, and she writes cookbooks under the name Christina Dymock.
If she's not at the computer, you can find her trying to keep up with her husband and four kids on the ski slopes, on a bike, in the kitchen, or on a horse.

Club 24 Series Review Blitz!!

Title: Club 24 Series
Author: Kimberly Knight
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Blurb:
Spencer Marshall was done moping. After catching her boyfriend cheating with his secretary, she decides to have a girl’s weekend in Vegas with her best friend, Ryan. Lady Luck must be looking out for Spencer, because the hottie that has caught her eye at her new gym is on the same flight to Vegas.
Spencer is old-fashioned in the sense that she feels the guy should make the first move, but this hottie hasn’t approached her…until they have one hot dance in Vegas that leaves her questioning his motives.
Will her hottie finally speak to her, or will he continue playing a game of flirtation that may lead to nowhere? And will situations from their past keep them from taking the next step?
Despite what people say, not everything stays in Vegas, especially when you work out every day at the same time and at the same gym.
Blurb:
From the moment she first saw him running on the treadmill next to her, Spencer Marshall fell head over heels in love with Brandon Montgomery. After Spencer has a near-death experience she would rather forget, they do their best to move on with their lives, leaving their past behind them.
Thankful for a fresh start and eager to move on with her life, Spencer focuses on helping her best friend, Ryan Kennedy, plan her wedding. Everything seems to be going as planned when someone from Brandon’s past reappears.
Can Spencer and Brandon survive the coming days as they struggle to deal with ghosts from the past?
  
Blurb:
After walking in on her cheating boyfriend, fate led Spencer Marshall to the love of her life, Brandon Montgomery. Now she has a wedding to plan.
With hope that the demons from their pasts will finally leave them alone, Brandon and Spencer look forward to growing old together. Just as things are finally looking up, an unexpected houseguest arrives and stays much longer than expected.
Will their love be strong enough to overcome the bad influences of their new roommate and the emotional aftermath of dealing with the trial? And when an unforeseen tragedy strikes, can Spencer finally have the happy ending she deserves?
  
Blurb:
It started with a look …
That led to a hot and steamy dance ...
Brandon and Spencer have overcome many obstacles in their relationship including a crazy ex-girlfriend and a college classmate with a scary vendetta. Now a new adventure has begun.
Parenthood. 
When Brandon goes back to work, Spencer is left feeling overwhelmed and scared that she won’t be a good mother to Kyle. Brandon knows deep in his heart that she will make a perfect mother because she has been a perfect wife, but he doesn’t know how to save Spencer from her desolations.
How will Spencer overcome her personal despairs to fight for her family? And what will happen when Brandon fears that his past isn’t quite done seeking revenge?

Having the entire series at my fingertips was a godsend! I was able to read all about Spence and her 2 week trial gym membership, meeting the man of her dreams, seeing things from Brandon's perspective, and get some inventory busted out for my shoppe. The series itself is sweet and sexy. I liked how when each book ended, the next picks right up where the story left off.

Perfect Together
His fingers tightened against my ass as he pulled me even harder against him, causing my clit to rub in the perfect spot. My heart raced, my back was covered in sweat, and my panties dampened more while my center throbbed with an almost painful need for more pressure. I couldn’t believe the intensity of the feelings I was experiencing there in public with him, surrounded by what I knew was a club full of people. I didn’t want the song to ever end as I was lost in the moment of imagining it was only us on the dance floor. There was no Ryan or anyone else for that matter next to us. Just him and I in our own bubble knowing that at any moment, I was going to come apart on his leg.
And I did.
Before I realized it, my pussy spasmed and I came, jerking forward to lean my head against his chest to muffle the moan that escaped my lips as I climaxed. His hands grasped my ass tighter, and he kept me pressed hard against his leg. Our bodies continued to sway to the music while the sensation raced through me and I tried not to collapse in the middle of the dance floor.
If he had asked me to go up to his room at that moment, I would have said yes. I had never hooked up with a stranger, let alone in Vegas at a club. I had never had sex in public, never had an orgasm in public for that matter.
I didn’t care.
At last, we slowly stopped dancing. He was still pulling me hard onto his leg and his eyes locked with mine. He gave me his smile I remembered so well. I was trying to relax and let my heart return to normal, but looking into his eyes only made it race more. I still couldn’t speak—could barely breathe. A few seconds later, the song ended. He bent down, nuzzled my neck, and I could feel his warm breath against my skin as he whispered, “Thank you,” and then walked away.

A Plantation, a Tour Guide, and a Poltergeist Blog Tour


Title: A Plantation, a Tour Guide, and a Poltergeist
Author: CC Dragon
Genre: Paranormal Cozy Mystery
Cover Designer: Viola Estrella
Publication Date: August 10th, 2018
Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR


Blurb:
Deanna Oscar Paranormal Mysteries Book 8

Ghosts never forget, rarely forgive, and frequently refuse to move on.
While Deanna is helping her brother settle in, her friends relationships give her reasons to worry and celebrate—depending on the couple.
Work, however, never stops.
The case that falls in her lap at the Hundred Willows Plantation is truly disturbing. The ghosts have become restless—attacking tourists and tour guides. While the family denies there is anything haunting the antebellum mansion, they can’t hide the truth from Deanna.
The plantations dark history repeats itself. Specific scenes playing out over and over. That isn’t the worst of it.
It’s when the supernatural residents try to interact with humans that injury and death become a recurring theme for the living.
The only way to change the pattern is for Deanna to put herself in the path of anger, attack, and Death (wearing high heels) itself.


Since this is my first installment in the series, I was a little lost at first but quickly fell into place after the first four chapters. My next goal is to get caught up and start from the beginning to see where this all started for De and the gang. 
I really enjoyed reading this story. It was a quick read and I found the characters to be relatable as they aren't "too" paranormal. Being set in the deep south at a plantation no less, I found the story to be believable in the sense of spirits inflicting harm to the living. (I watch Ghost Adventures and witnessed it on TV)
De and the crew must help Frankie get used to his gift while trying to figure out what is happening to guests and the tour guide of the Hundred Willows Plantation. Things do get tense (not going to lie) for the gang, there is a touch of humor, and definitely a tight bond. Each character has their own unique personality and it shows in the story. 
I look forward to reading the series from start to finish to see where the characters came from and how they have grown to where they are now.

The Last Valkyrie by Karina Espinosa Blog Tour!!

Title: The Last Valkyrie
Author: Karina Espinosa
Genre: Adult Urban Fantasy
Cover Designer: Orina Kafe
Publication Date: August 3rd, 2018
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR
Blurb:  Raven Romero is a washed up Valkyrie who is unable to return to Valhalla, spending her days in a haze of sex, drugs, and alcohol.
When she is wrongfully accused of murder, Raven has two options: run or clear her name. With a laundry list of enemies, she has no idea who could be framing her. One thing is for sure: they know what she is and they'll stop at nothing until she’s behind bars or dead.
With no choice but to delve into the supernatural underground she tried so hard to avoid, Raven seeks aid and learns what it means to be human.
The world believes her kind no longer exists, but Raven Romero is The Last Valkyrie.


This was a really good read. It came to me at a time when I was in a reading funk and couldn't find something interesting. Upon reading the synopsis, I thought that this would be a fresh take on Norse mythology and I am glad I took a chance on The Last Valkyrie. Raven is a badass with a drug problem. I'm not sure why exactly she does them but I'm hoping it becomes clear in the next installment. Valkyries are trained to not feel, but yet when it comes to a certain banshee, she cares. 

Full of excitement, mystery, sex, drugs, and myth, The Last Valkyrie will leave you wanting more and wanting revenge on a Norse God and a shifter. Definitely a fun read but not recommended for young ones or teens in my opinion.
