Butter you up by Liz Alden (Farm 2 Forking)

Posted

BUTTER YOU UP is the second book in the Farm 2 Forking author collaboration. You really must have read the first book "Since you've bean gone" before starting this one as there's a backstory adding more richness to most of the characters. 

Alex is the grumpy brother in the Bedd family and he is happiest when he's with his milkers (cows) at Udderly Creamery, the farm next to Bedd Fellows. Dealing with people in general and his own family in particular, isn't really his thing. 

Molly is on the van journey of her life through the US, slowly ticking off her and her father's 3-item bucket list in each state. Nearing New York, her van's batteries are getting to the end of their lives and she has secured a free space at Bedd Fellows Farm in exchange for helping out on the farm for a few months. To earn more money she also agrees to work in the farm shop at Udderly Creamery, where she meets Alex. There is instant attraction between them and they are both quick at acting on it - merging grumpiness and the sparkly sunshine into a lovely story. 

Baabara does make herself known in this book as well, causing trouble as Molly arrives; but Trixie (Alex's dog), the baby goats and Mootilda bring the smiles.


With five Bedd siblings and five authors, I'm guessing each sibling will get their own story - BUT, what about Ethel's story? She's such a feisty lady that she deserves to have her own story told!

  • Since you’ve bean gone, Lainey Davis – available now (my review)

Hard Power, by J.B. Turner (Jon Reznick #12)

Posted
Action, intrigue, and some politics mixed into another fab Jon Reznick thriller. This is the twelfth in the series but it can be read as a standalone.  This time it's Jon's go-to hacker and computer genius Trevelle that's in trouble. Trevelle contacts Jon to ask for help after his Chinese girl friend fell / got pushed into the tracks. A parallell legal system with Chinese police station is revealed and it all feels very close to a possible real situation which makes the story even better.  To find the culprits, the relationship between Martha (FBI) and Jon is tested yet again in this story - but this time it's Martha's career that's at stake. With the pressure piling up, will she be loyal to Jon or look after herself first?  Highly recommended. The Jon Reznick thrillers are available on Kindle Unlimited and you may as well subscribe for a month or so, to read them all! Hard Power will be published on 12 March 2024, but can be preordered now. #HardPower #NetGalle...

A fab combination of romance, danger, and family drama, but at times quite dark, with themes of violence and betrayal.  "She’s the kind of friend that points out your crown is slipping, not quietly helps fix it."

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

Posted
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
