Release Blitz and Feature Post: Losing Time by Chris Karlsen

Title: Losing Time ( Knights in Time Book 5)

Author: Chris Karlsen

Genre: Historical Romance (With time travel elements)

Release Date: September 16, 2018

Hosted by:Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

Book Description:

Can love survive the wrong time and place?

Felicia Wycliff’s peaceful stroll through the woods turned to disaster when her dachshund bolted after a rabbit. One minute Felicia was running after the determined little dog, the next she was hurled to the ground. Gathering her wits after her tumble, she brushed herself off and continued her pursuit—-right into three mounted knights who blocked her path.

They were so authentic looking. They might’ve stepped from the keep of the nearby castle, Elysian Fields. But the old Norman fortress was a ruin and had been for three hundred years.

“Seize her,” the middle knight ordered, the knight who sat tallest in the saddle.

“Let me go.” She fought, striking out when the two knights grabbed her. “Who the deuce are you?”

“I’m the Captain of the Baron’s Guard, and you are trespassing.”

Kidnapped, her confusion and fear consumed her. But when they rode through the gates of Elysian Fields, the castle looking as formidable as the date it was built, her terror exploded.

When she fell she knew exactly where she was. But where the devil had she landed?

About Chris:

I was born and raised in Chicago. My father was a history professor and my mother was, and is, a voracious reader. I grew up with a love of history and books.

My parents also love traveling, a passion they passed onto me. I wanted to see the places I read about, see the land and monuments from the time periods that fascinated me. I’ve had the good fortune to travel extensively throughout Europe, the Near East, and North Africa.  

I am a retired police detective. I spent twenty-five years in law enforcement with two different agencies. My desire to write came in my early teens. After I retired, I decided to pursue that dream. I write three different series. My paranormal romance series is called, Knights in Time. My romantic thriller series is Dangerous Waters. The newest is The Bloodstone Series. Each series has a different setting and some cross time periods, which I find fun to write.

I currently live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband and five wild and crazy rescue dogs.

Release Blitz/Feature Post and Book Review: Recovering Ivy by Riley Edwards

Hi, everyone! I am very happy to be sharing this Feature Post/Release Blitz and my Book Review of RECOVERING IVY (Special Forces: Operation Alpha Series) (Red Team Book 4) by Riley Edwards. This is an AMAZING addition to the series, but can be easily read as a standalone. Below you will read a short synopsis, my book review, get links to the other books in this series + a free book link from Ms. Edwards and all of the author’s social media  info.

You have got to get this hot, sexy romantic suspense!

 

BOOK SYNOPSIS:

IVY

We met in a bar.

The sex was phenomenal.

Then I walked away.

That’s where our story should’ve ended.

But he found me. Now he knows my real name, my secrets, and all the details of my sordid past.

I’m out for revenge and no one will stop me; not even the pragmatic Zane Lewis. If he thinks he can silence me with the promise of more mind-bending sex, he’s wrong.

 

ZANE

Ivy Matthews is the most frustrating female I’ve ever known. I’ve broken terrorists faster than I can pull information from her sweet lips.

The only time she’s pliant is when she’s under me, or when my mouth is exploring her sexy curves, and then the most exquisite filthy words and breathy moans fill my ears.

If she thinks she can walk away from me, she’s wrong.

I’ve found the one–my perfect match–my equal.

Come hell or high-water Ivy is mine.

 

 

MY BOOK REVIEW:

RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars

RECOVERING IVY (Special Forces: Operation Alpha Series)(Red Team Book 4) by Riley Edwards is a romantic suspense with an off the charts hot and sexy military ALPHA (in all ways!) and a heroine who is living with secrets from her past that she refuses to let destroy her and her quest for justice for her sister. This book is the fourth book in this series, but can be easily read as a standalone. Believe me though, I will be going back to read the previous Red Team books with the other hot team operatives and the women they have their HEAs with!

Ivy Matthews is independent and tough on the outside, but it is a cover. She is working undercover for the man she believes killed her sister. Both sisters were brought up by an abusive, drug-addicted mother and Ivy feels responsible for not being able to save her sister, so she wants revenge for her death.

Zane Lewis is the head of a private firm of elite ex-military operatives. Being the leader, Zane believes he is responsible when they lose a team member no matter the circumstances. He believes his sole is dark and no woman will ever be able to love him, so he satisfies his sexual needs with one night stands with woman who are never repeated.

Zane picks up Ivy in a bar. Their night together is steaming hot and unforgettable. Zane wakes up alone and cannot believe, Ivy left. He is usually happy to get rid of his one night stands, so he cannot figure out why this one is different. Ivy does not have time for a relationship and even though she left nothing behind, Zane finds her. Zane will not be happy until he has all of Ivy’s secrets and can figure out why she alone can calm his darkest demons even as she gives him attitude, sass and fights him every step of the way believing she is not good enough for Zane.

I absolutely love when a hero and heroine, who both feel unworthy of love, find it with each other. Zane is hot, sexy and take-charge with a vulnerability for Ivy that none of his friends and co-workers have ever seen in him before. Ivy has grown up abused and always leaves a relationship before they break it off with her. She cannot believe an honorable, rich and gorgeous man like Zane will want her when he learns her secrets. The sex scenes are explicit and hot, but also show the amount of caring and love building between the H/h.

Ms. Riley has written a believable and beautiful romance for these two wounded souls. The suspense adds to the romance and will make you turn the pages even faster. I cannot recommend this romantic suspense enough. I am looking forward to reading many more books in this series and the fictional world this book is tied to.

Book Review: When All The Girls Have Gone by Jayne Ann Krentz

RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars

When I want to curl up on the couch with a comfy blanket and tea to read without interruption, there are a few authors that I know I can sit down with their books and always be satisfied. Jayne Ann Krentz is one of those authors. WHEN ALL THE GIRLS HAVE GONE is one of those books.

Charlotte Sawyer is the average, steady, and some say naïve, director of activities at a senior retirement home. Her step-sister, Jocelyn is beautiful, adventurous and reckless. When Charlotte hears that Jocelyn’s best friend from her investment club has been found dead, she tries to contact Jocelyn at the retreat she is on. Jocelyn has disappeared and Charlotte is desperate to find her.

Max Cutler is starting his own P.I. firm after complete burnout from his criminal profiling job and his divorce that followed. He knows the job of finding out what really happened to Jocelyn’s friend won’t pay, but he is convinced to look into it. Charlotte is trying to find out what happened also and to find her sister so the two join forces.

There are two plotlines intertwined in this story. The investment club’s members are being targeted and disappearing and you have Jocelyn’s 16 year old rape case that was purposely derailed. Power, privilege, an escalating serial rapist and a friend that may not really be a friend all are fighting to silence Charlotte and Max.

Charlotte and Max were perfect together. Charlotte is very much the steady, optimistic character that isn’t boring, even though she believes she is, but you would want to have in your corner. Max is down and considers himself boring, but Charlotte sees him as steadfast and talented in his profession. The banter between these two had me smiling several times and the sex was well written. I liked that these characters weren’t looking for a relationship, but they fit.

I enjoyed this story and these characters as much as I knew I would. Sometimes in my romantic suspense reads, I don’t want super testosterone alpha males and either their matches in female form or the little woman that they rescue. Sometimes in my romantic suspense, I want normal, everyday characters that come together to become something more and when that happens it is great. Max has two ‘brothers’, so I expect this to be a trilogy.
