Her Halloween Treat by Tiffany Reisz Review




HER HALLOWEEN TREAT


Published by Harlequin Blaze
October 1st, 2016

A Men at Work Romance
It was a devastating dirty trick—Joey Silvia just found out her boyfriend of two years is married. What. A. Dick. Joey knows her best chance to get over one guy is to get under another. Of course, heading home to her family's remote cabin in Oregon poses some challenges in the "available men" department…until she discovers this cabin comes with its own hot handyman! 
Holy crap, Chris Steffensen. When did her brother's best friend turn into a hard-bodied pile of blond-bearded hotness? He's the perfect Halloween treat—and a surprisingly dirty rebound guy. For a couple of weeks, anyway. Except that Chris has other ideas…like proving to Joey that this blast from the past is a whole lot more than a naughty Halloween hookup.

REVIEW

Her Halloween Treat (Men at Work, #1)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book definitely lives up to the ‘treat’ name. Joey is a fun character. The dialogue between Joey and her best friend Kira is awesome, and Chris and Joey’s banter follows closely on the wonderful scale. I absolutely love Chris. He’s a great guy in every way. There’s plenty of humor and the sexy times are off the charts hot. I highly recommend.

WRONG NUMBER, RIGHT GUY by Elle Casey Review


Downtown New Orleans is a dangerous place to be—unless the Bourbon Street Boys are on your side. A private security firm in the shadow of the local police, they patrol the bars and backstreets, doling out justice wherever people are in trouble. And if they should get the chance to mix business with a little pleasure along the way...well, so much the better.

Meet the Bourbon Street Boys in Elle Casey’s sexy contemporary romance WRONG NUMBER, RIGHT GUY.



About the Book

When a mysterious text message summons May Wexler to a biker bar in downtown New Orleans, she knows something is very wrong. Her sister has sent out an SOS, but when May gets there, she’s nowhere to be found and May is the one in trouble—she’s wearing pink espadrilles, she’s got a Chihuahua in her purse, and she’s in the middle of a shootout.

After tall, muscular Ozzie comes to her rescue, May has no choice but to follow him to safety. At the headquarters of his private security firm, the Bourbon Street Boys, she finds a refuge for the night—and the offer of a job. But it’s not long before a gun-toting stalker isn’t the only complication in May’s life: the more time she spends with Ozzie, the less she can deny that they’ve got some serious chemistry. A wrong number got her into this mess . . . Will it also get her the right guy?

REVIEW
Wrong Number, Right Guy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had the most fun reading this book.

May is a crazy gal yet totally relatable. She's a little awkward and sheltered but uses humor to cover it. I'm not usually as fond of the more naïve characters, but I adore May. I really enjoyed her inner monologues and interactions with her sister and dog. Felix, her dog, is très adorable.

Ozzie is not May's cup of tea in the beginning, but when she see's him in true form, it's a completely different experience. He's super sexy and muscular and in possession of a sweet sense of humor.

There are lots of great side characters, plenty of action and huge helpings of comedy. I was laughing out loud from May's silly antics. Of course it's also a romance and has its 'adult' times, but for me it was more about what May was going to stumble into next.

I will be continuing the series for sure. If you're looking for a light romcom pick-me-up, this is just what the doctor ordered.

I have a passion for the bad boys, those covered in tattoos, sexy smirks, ripped jeans, fast cars, motorcycles and of course, the sweet girls that try to tame them and win their hearts. My debut series, Ashes & Embers, follows the lives of rock band members as they find, and sometimes lose, the loves of their lives.
My first novel in the Ashes & Embers series, Storm, was published in September of 2014 and book 2, Vandal, was published in February 2015 with several more of this series planned throughout 2015.
Born and raised a Jersey girl, I now reside in beautiful New Hampshire with my husband and our multitude of furry pets and spend most of my time writing, reading, and vacuuming.

REVIEW

Lukas (Ashes & Embers, #3)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

This is definitely my favorite book of the series. The men in this family are similar in some ways, but they are so very different. Storm is a confident manly guy, and his book is pretty contemporary. Vandal is the broken bad boy, and his book is BDSM-ish. Lukas is a total renaissance man with an old soul, and his book is complete romance (mostly, of course it has it's drama bits).

Lukas is the baby of the family, on 24. Don't let his age fool you. He's absolutely ready to settle down. For so much of the storyline, Lukas just had me swooning. He is always ready with a romantic gesture and never afraid to tell how he feels.

Ivy is a 36 year old mother of two. Her husband recently left her for another woman after 20 years together so her life has pretty much been turned upside down. I identified with being a 30 something single mother of two. So when a ink & piercing covered younger guy who is an artist, business owner, violin player and great cook came after her hard, I fell for it.

Some of this story happened at the same time as what happened in the previous two books so the reader gets a better understanding of the whole family dynamic. Vandal's situation hit me harder in this book than in his own. Also I now see a pattern of Asher being the man that kind of moves things along. He's mysterious. Lukas seems to be the mature one under pressure. It's really neat how they all fit together. This book did leave some questions about the future for some of the guys. I'm looking forward to more.

HIM by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy Review + Interview









They don’t play for the same team. Or do they?

Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.

Ryan Wesley’s biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he’ll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever.

Jamie has waited a long time for answers, but walks away with only more questions—can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it? When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend...and a big one to learn about himself.

Warning: contains sexual situations, skinnydipping, shenanigans in an SUV and proof that coming out to your family on social media is a dicey proposition.



















INTERVIEW
How did you two decide to collaborate on a book?

Sarina: We both write series about hockey players already, and I've always loved Elle's books. So it was a really good day when Elle said to me, "I loved Understatement of the Year, and if you ever wanted to co-write an MM hockey novel, let me know." 
And I said HECK YES! What I most admired about Elle's Off Campus series was the warmth and humor, and I knew that if we wrote something together, it would have both of those things. Every minute of working on this book was a pleasure.

Elle: I was half-joking when I made the suggestion to team up, because with my schedule, it's hard to squeeze in new projects. But after I threw it out there, Sarina emailed me and said, "I'm in! Let me know when you have time to plot something!" So we started brainstorming, and I kept thinking, "No! I can't let my brain get distracted by all this m/m yumminess!" 
But it was too late. I was already obsessed with the story, and then we ended up writing the whole book in about 3 weeks. I love Sarina's Ivy Years books, so I had a really good feeling about our styles meshing well. And they did. The whole project came together so perfectly!


Your book deals heavily in hockey.  Did you have to do sports research?  Were you already a huge fan?

Sarina: I'm a college hockey nut, and we go to games all season long. And Elle is Canadian. They're, like, born with an understanding of the sport.

Elle: Football is actually my first love, but hockey is a close second. I don't go to many hockey games (I can't remember the last time I went to one!) but I watch enough of it on TV to know how the game works.


What is the biggest difference between this book and what you usually write?

Sarina: Well, there's skinny-dipping in this one. My other novels have a lot in common with this one -- the coming-of-age themes, the humor. Readers of The Ivy Years will feel at home reading Him.

Elle: I guess the biggest difference is that the main characters are two guys! Other than that, I think Him isn't that different from my other books. Like Sarina said, the themes and humor are kind of the same.


In a shootout, which one of you would win?

Sarina: Well, damn. I guess we need to find out. Confession: I wear white figure skates. But I'm pretty agile on them. This could get interesting.

Elle: I have white figure skates too! But...I don't know how to stop. Seriously, when I'm on skates, the only way I can stop skating is if I steer myself toward the boards and crash to a stop. And if I'm on a rink that doesn't have boards? I'm screwed. So yeah, Sarina would win, hands down.

Sarina: Wait. Did you get a pair without brakes, Elle? *giggles*






Sarina Bowen writes steamy, angsty contemporary romance from Vermont's Green Mountains. (Her ancestors began logging and farming Vermont during the 18th century. These were rugged, outdoor types without benefit of a laptop or a good latte. It boggles the mind.)
Sarina enjoys skiing, skating and good food. She lives in Windsor County, Vermont, with her family, eight chickens and too much ski gear and hockey equipment.










A New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Elle Kennedy grew up in the suburbs of Toronto, Ontario, and holds a B.A. in English from York University. From an early age, she knew she wanted to be a writer, and actively began pursuing that dream when she was a teenager.
Elle writes romantic suspense and erotic contemporary romance for various publishers. She loves strong heroines and sexy alpha heroes, and just enough heat and danger to keep things interesting!














Him

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jamie and Ryan are total jocks full of testosterone, pranks and drive. They are both star hockey players who met at a summer camp for the best of the best as kids. They spent each summer together honing their skills and getting into trouble. Eventually, they crossed some lines beyond being just best friends which confused things. After meeting again a few years later, they're both unsure of where they stand with the other.

I had so much fun reading this. The writing is very colorful and original. For someone who reads a lot, it often feel like I read the same phrases over and over so this was definitely welcomed. Also, I really dug all the sports talk. Both Jamie and Ryan are real guy-guys, ya know, horseplay, beer and ESPN types. HIM has mucho laughs and sexiness. It has themes of figuring out who you are and what you want out of life, and some about the nostalgic feeling of being a teen goofing off. Bottom line, it left me fulfilled and happy, and the pleasure was all mine. I hope this writing duo teams up again.
