Review:
Leader of the Titans by Kathryn Le Veque is the second book in the Pirates of Brittania series. A series filled with adventure, pirates, secrets, and romance. Grab your favorite beverage, yummy treat and settle into your favorite cozy chair for a bookcation guaranteed to bring enjoyment!
Constantine le Brecque is a notorious pirate who will face his toughest fight, one that involves a thrown and a deception so twisted that it will challenge everything he holds dear. This pirate would put those he cares for first. Dare to defy him and it’s best watch your back.
Lady Greggoria “Gregg” de Moyon has had her share of trouble and mistreatment. Faced with an uncertain future she must oblige her brothers wicked and ridiculous request. If not she’s unlikely to receive the only thing left that matters. What will happen when she meets the man who could derail her mission and capture her heart? Perhaps she will reconsider, there are always two sides to a story, and betraying a pirate will surely mean death if caught.
Kathryn has brought to life another must read world that is one-click worthy. The collaboration with Eliza Knight is seamless, well crafted, and absolutely brilliant. I love a sexy pirate story that has captivating characters, a plot that keeps you in suspense till the very last page, and more stories in my reading future in early 2018.
From the first page I was captivated and in awe of Con, his purpose, and the crew who serve with him. Trust, honor, and loyalty are paramount for a pirates survival. Passion always adds a twist and complexity to the story and journey when tossed into the mix. Will Con conquer Gregg’s heart and her confidence, or will she capture it and change her life forever?
Don’t miss this new series from Eliza Knight and Kathryn Le Veque and find out who will survive? Who will surrender? Who will find love? Whose story will be next?

Leader of Titans Excerpt
“Then what would you have me do?” he asked her. “With those women, I mean. What do you want me to do?”
Gregoria was surprised by the question. Not that she believed he was truly seeking her advice, but she gave it, anyway. “Genevieve wanted to return to Ireland,” she said. “Could you simply return them to Ireland?”
He shook his head. “I will not,” he said. “But I will take them home. I believe their father is based in Plymouth.”
Gregoria was looking at him with increasing hope. “Truly?” she said. “You would do that?”
He shrugged, petted the puppy one last time, and turned for the door. “Do you still want off the ship?”
Gregoria watched him walk to the door. “Do you want me off the ship?”
He came to an unsteady halt right by the door, refusing to turn and look at her. “That was not the question,” he said quietly. “Do you want off the ship?”
She stood up from the chair, her gaze riveted to him. All of the hurt and confusion was draining away, leaving behind the warm feelings she’d developed for the man. Somehow, she knew there was something good in him underneath all of that piracy and plunder. She didn’t know how she knew, only that she did.
Something in her heart told her so.
“I will get off in Wales, if that is acceptable,” she said, making her way towards him, wishing he would look at her. “I… I did not mean to cause you any trouble, my lord. It is simply that this is my first experience with… well, with whatever it is you do. I am not accustomed to such things.”
“I know.”
“How much further to Wales?”
He could hear her coming up behind him and it was as if his entire body ignited. He finally turned to look at her, gazing into those big blue eyes, but no words would come to mind. All he knew was that he wanted to touch her, and he did. He reached out, cupping her face between his two big hands, and kissing her deeply on the lips.
Gregoria collapsed against him, responding to his kiss, her knees weakening to the point where she could barely stand. His kisses grew more forceful, his arms going around her, and she simply let the man have his way with her. She’d only known him a matter of days, but she couldn’t remember when he hadn’t been around her. When he hadn’t been embedded in her heart somehow.

Nov 28, 2017 | Blog, Blog Tour, Julia London, November 2017
Jack by Julia London is the fifth book in the 7 Brides for 7 Soldiers series. A series that centers around the lives of seven friends, the family struggles and the town they live in. A book where family is everything, the struggles are real, and the bond of brotherhood has shaped each soldier into men worthy of their own standalone story. But trust me, you’ll want to read them all.
Jack Carter returned two years ago but can’t adjust and has found ways to avoid acclimating and returning to normal, whatever that is. Stuck in his own personal hell he’s living in fear. Yet, with the modern conveniences, he’s able to get everything he needs with one phone call or click of a button. Will he ever be able to trust anyone? .
Whitney Baldwin is ready to stand on her own and make the world a better place, one cupcake at a time. Will she find the courage to stand up to her family and pursue her dreams? It will take a lot of patience to push through paperwork, rejections and a few roadblocks if she’s going to achieve her dream. When a sexy client threatens to derail him, will she give in to her feelings or push him away?
Jack and Whitney have a chemistry that sizzles. Yet, even with the secrets Jack is struggling to prove himself. When he makes an important promise Whitney is going to have to trust him not to let her down, will he keep it? Will their unique relationship survive? Jack will need to conquer his worst fears for true love and the journey is absolutely exciting.
Adjustments are challenging enough when faced with insurmountable odds, but for Jack, he’s going to have to learn to trust. Trust himself, his family, and the one woman who will change his life forever. There is something about Whitney that ignites a passion beyond the kitchen. We all live with our own cocktail of fear, anxiety and rejection. This story is full of hope, promise and how to overcome challenges that seem impossible. The world Jack lives in is the same one that so many struggle with as a consequence of merely doing a job they love. Julia has addressed this in a respectful and loving way and I applaud her, it’s a must read that will make your heart squeeze.
If you’re looking for a slow burn that has witty one-liners, lovable characters, a furry friend and enough heat to warm you up on a cold winter night, one-click this book. If you haven’t read any of the other books in this series fear not, there are no spoilers as they can all be read as a standalone. However, I think reading them in order makes the journey more fun!
This two peppers spicy latte has just enough to make you tingle and is it’s for mature readers 18+. 
I received this ARC from InkSlingerPR for a fair and honest review.

EXCLUSIVE Throne of Secrets Excerpt:
Arela’s words from three weeks ago repeat over and over in my head like a broken record. And just like the first time I heard them, my stomach drops to my feet and my emotions spin out of control. Doubt that I can be the person to unite two kingdoms. Shock that I’m even considering that I’ll be the one to do it. Happiness that someone will unite the two kingdoms, worry that Arela is having chats with the Goddess of Faerie. And finally, determination to sort through all of it and make sure that everyone I love comes out unscathed.
I shiver and wrap the blanket I’d grabbed tightly around me. Dawn is approaching and the dark blues of the sky are slowly being replaced with streaks of orange and yellow. I’m sitting on the top of the front gate of the Goblin castle. The cool stone seeps through the blanket I’m huddled in, but I don’t mind it. I’ve come here every morning for the past week so I can sit in silence and think. Everyone around me is making plans and guessing at outcomes and I just need a few minutes to myself to process. Just a few moments to take a deep breath and clear my head. The darkness of the night matches the murkiness of my thoughts and my mood perfectly.
What I need is answers. I need someone to give it to me straight and not tack on their own political agenda. The chances of that happening are slim to none. I’m too close to all the parties involved for them to be unbiased. I need someone who doesn’t have anything invested in the outcome of my appearance in the Light Elven Kingdom. MECA could probably not care less, but then again, I recently learned they aren’t as uninvolved as they tell everyone they are. The Goblin Kingdom has given me shelter and taken care of those I hold dearest, but they hold might above all else. Allying with the Light Elven Kingdom would only make them more fearsome. Last but not least, my mother is a royal in the Light Elven Kingdom and my uncle is the current king. My mother is still missing, which adds to my worry, and my uncle is trying to make history. I’m sick of being a pawn in a deadly game of political chess. I pull at a loose string on the blanket and grumble under my breath.
“If only I could see snippets of the future. A glimpse is all I’m asking for.”
I look up into the fading darkness and pray that my wishes are heard by anyone who can help. Minutes go by and my glimmer of hope flicks out and helplessness fills my chest. Why me? Why would anyone involved in the grand scheme of things want me to help them? I’m angry most of the time and full of inappropriate sarcastic comments. I try to protect everyone around me but it seems like I mostly fail. I fail all the time and each time I do it’s like another piece of my soul crumbles into a pile of ash. I can barely make sense of my own emotions let alone help everyone else with theirs. There’s got to be a reason as to why I’m tangled up in all of this. Unfortunately, no one has any gods damned answers for me, so here I am. Sitting on the ramparts and tossing wishes into the universe like a child tosses a coin into a well.
“Perhaps I can help you with your glimpse, Ever.”

EXCERPT
Prologue
“We’re hit! We’re hit!”
Navy pilot Ryder Westbrook heard the panicked words of his copilot, Michael Valdez, but he was too busy trying to regain control of the SH-60 Seahawk helicopter to reply. They were coming back from a humanitarian mission—having dropped food, water and medical supplies into the rugged and remote villages of Afghanistan—when they’d taken enemy fire.
They weren’t going to make it back to the carrier in the Persian Gulf. They were going to have to set down somewhere, hopefully far from the rebel forces that had just shot at them.
His heart pounded against his chest, but he remained calm, his training playing through his head as he went through every option to retain control of the twin-engine helicopter.
Flying was in his blood. The helo had always felt like an extension of his own power, but now that power was crumbling, and he was being forcibly reminded of just how fragile life could be.
But he couldn’t quit. There had to be a way out.
Unfortunately, his optimism was dampened by the fact that the ground was getting closer by the second, and his crew was depending on him to get them down safely.
His copilot had a wife and a baby back in the States. Colin Forbes, the sensor operator, was getting married in a month. And he…well, he still had things he wanted to do.
He had to keep them all alive.
Searching the ground for a viable landing site, he spotted what appeared to be a flat, open rural area. Not only did he want to protect his crew, he didn’t want to hurt anyone on the ground.
Glancing over at Michael, he saw his friend making the sign of the cross.
“We’re not going to die,” he said emphatically, drawing Michael’s gaze to his. “Not today. Not this time.”
He could see the hope in Michael’s eyes. His friend wanted to believe him.
Hell, he wanted to believe himself.
He’d been in tight spots before, and he’d always come out on top. It had been that way his entire life. Growing up in Eagle’s Ridge, he’d been the golden boy—the one who set new records, who made things happen, who achieved whatever he went after.
But this was real life. This was happening now, and he was the only one who could save all their lives.
In ten years of naval service, he’d never encountered a situation exactly like this. He’d never felt so worried that his number might really be up.
He shook the negative thought out of his head, squaring his jaw, tightening his hand on the controls, as he rode the bird down to the ground.
The impact was harder than he’d expected, the helicopter shattering into pieces of fiery metal. And when everything went black, he fought against the idea that this might be it.
He had more he wanted to do, people he should have made peace with a long time ago, a home that beckoned to him—the Blue Mountains, the Snake River, the people of Eagle’s Ridge—a life still to be lived.
He needed more time… He just didn’t know if he was going to get it.
