Tam DeRudder Jackson - Books 3 and 4 in the Balefire series

Book 3: Wild for me

This is Dakota and Annabelle's story. It all started with a scorching hot one-night stand two years ago after a Balefire concert. It also ended there when Annabelle left Dakota's room. Both of them have been reliving that night, but never made contact with each other. At the wedding rehearsal of Jack and Clio (who we met in Book 1) Dakota and Annabelle see each other again and the story takes off from there.

Grumpy Garrett is back causing tension and stirring things up in his usual way.

Quick and easy read allowing you to escape for a few hours.

Book 4: Hot for me

Finally Adam Tron gets to meet a girl, or rather a strong willed independent woman matching him in all areas. A superstar in her own rights, Cristy joins Balefire on their tour and things get hot.

Grumpy Garrett is back and we also meet Cristy's manager Gretchen who's keeping a tight leash on her, causing enormous frustrations for Adam Tron.

Again an enjoyable easy flowing read by DeRudder Jackson completing the story of the four band members of Balefire. I thought this would be the last in the series, or possibly followed by a 'retrospective and now' story about their first drummer, but apparently their manager Garrett is getting his own story in Book 5.

PS. There is a Book 5

Book 5, Stay with me, is due in the autumn/fall of 2022 and this is described as Garrett's redemption. Not sure he deserves a book on his own but let's see...

Thanks to NetGalley for these two eARCs in exchange for honest reviews.

Big Bad Boss: Midnight, by Renee Rose and Lee Savino

First things first: This book ends with a cliff hanger and after getting over that frustration, it leaves you wanting to hurry up the authors to publish the next one, and the one after that in this Werewolves of Wall Street trilogy. Brick, the lead male, is the stereotypical billionaire a-hole, going through assistants quicker than he changes his underwear - well, that's until Madison comes along and puts him in his place. She's bright, sassy and knows what she wants - enough money to pay her brother's tuition fees and to do some under cover research. Big Bad Boss: Midnight is an amazingly well written and captivating shifter story mixing hotness and business; a shame it ended with a cliffhanger. It's publishing tomorrow 29 February 2024. #BigBadBoss #NetGalley

As it says in the blurb from the publisher: " Hallmark with Snark " Two writers, who both hate Christmas, are set the challenge to spend a week in a Noelville, a dedicated Christmas resort and write a sappy, Christmas loving story. The winner gets a sought after promotion. What could go wrong? Well, it is the festive season and not even these two Grinches manage to stay unaffected by the magic. Lots of fab banter, some 'balanced' Christmas sap - all in all a sweet Christmas story with e HEA.

The Favourites by Layne Fargo

Intense. Heart wrenching. The intrigue was real, and often extremely well hidden. "To the world, they were a scandal. To each other, an obsession." Kat lives for her figure skating. Heath Rocha was a way to get there - not her first love. Kat is determination. Heath is power, dark power. The figure skating world is manipulative, where being best is closely linked to having money, and people in your hands. To always wanting more of everything. Quote from the book: "But what was the point if you had everything and enjoyed nothing?" I loved the layers of this story. It would be fab on the big screen! The Favourites by Layne Fargo is currently set to publish on 16 January 2025. #TheFavourites #NetGalley
