Review-the Witchling Grows Up by Mary Moriarty

Book Title – The Witchling Grows Up
Author – Mary Moriarty
Publisher –Self
ISBN/ASIN -9781310969645
Genre –Fantasy
Dylan Pendragon is not what she appears to be. She lookes like a twenty something, hippy, new-age follower… When in fact she was a ninety year old witchling from one of the oldest families connected with witch craft.
She has yet to get any powers so to speak. But she is destined to be the most powerful witch of them all…
And she is a virgin.
Justice is a seven thousand years old Vampire. He is the oldest friend to his former king of their kind, Cormac O’ Heachthanna. There are three things that vampires love. Blood, fighting and sex and not necessarily in that order. Justice lost his wife about six thousand years ago so he has devoted his life to keeping man kind safe… and he has had no sex in that many years.
The Dark One has one thing on his mind. Capture Dylan Pendragon and take what he thinks is his… her virginity and her power which will blossom like a rose once she is taken. He will do anything to get her and that power or die trying.
In the course of one night under a full moon two become connected and set into motion events that can’t be stopped that will ultimately bring victory for some or one and the rest will be cast into a void less underworld.
Can Justice show Dylan he wants to protect her without touching her? Will he listen to his heart where love that has been dormant for so long is blooming.
Will Dylan allow Justice to protect her so she can figure out how to get her powers and be strong enough to fight the Dark One? Or will she fall and be the sacrifice that the Dark One intends her to be.

I grew up in New England surrounded by a lot of history and story telling by my father who was from the Mid-Coast of Maine. What I remember of my mother was her love of fairy tales, the wee people and poetry. So it's no wonder I would one day write.
I actually started writing at a very young age, mostly poetry but I loved playing with words. I also loved books and before I even learned to read I would sit and pour over the books that had belonged to my mother. Works by writers such as Dante and Shakespeare filled the shelves. When I was about 6, I remember trying to read a first edition copy of Ivan Hoe that belonged to her.
So fast forward to now. I am at my desk 7 days a week. I have to write like I have to breath. I have stories that come to me in the middle of the night or from something I read that just made that random thought come to the forefront of my brain. I love writing and bringing these stories to print and e-format so my readers can take a journey with me.
I am surrounded by my pets who sometimes show up in my books and my family who are very supportive of my writing.

This is my first book to read by Mary Moriarty. It is about a powerful family of witches
with awesome powers. It has witches,vampires and dragons. I fell in love with the
characters. This book leaves you on the edge of your seat. it is a great read. Go get it!

COM

Book Title – Catching Kate
Author –D. Kelly
Publisher – Dee Kelly
ISBN/ASIN – 9781633152205
Genre –

After almost four years, Michael Matthews has come face to face with the love of his life. To say it didn’t go quite as he envisioned is an understatement. Never in a million years would he have imagined that his best friend, Daniel, is the new man in Kate’s life.
Once their explosive evening concludes and everyone goes their separate ways, Mike takes the time to calm down and plan his next move. If there’s one thing that calms him it’s Kate, even if it’s just memories of her. Mike has four hours before he sees her again and gets to plead his case. Instead of sleeping, he spends his evening remembering every detail of their relationship from the beginning.
Experience Mike and Kate’s love story from the start, all from Mike’s point of view. Find out why he left Kate in pieces and learn just how far he’ll go to make her fall in love with him all over again.

I'm a wife, a mom and a dog lover. I'm also a taxi, problem fixer, extreme multi-tasker and my kids biggest fan in anything that they do. I love to write, so when my career suddenly derailed I turned back to my love of writing. I married my high school sweetheart... how cool is that? Margaritas and sarcasm make me happy. Chocolate makes that happiness grow exponentially. People who make me laugh are my favorite kind of people. I believe Karma is a bitch who slaps back hard and that mean people suck. I'm California born and raised, I love the beach but hate the sand. The Acceptance Series is my first series with more books to come soon.

WOW! Dee Kelly has done it again.She has a way of brining you into the story
in a way you feel like the characters are family. When I finished Breaking Kate
I was team Daniel all the way! But, after reading Catching Kate I'm so torn. I found
myself crying. I felt so sorry for Mike! Now I really don't know who to choose!
Dee please get to writing and get the next book done! I can't wait to find out
who she chooses!

Mom of two rockin' girls, Reader of everything, Author of The Dragon Guards series and many more surprises to come!
I am a sarcastic,sometimes foul-mouthed, not afraid to drink a beer, always southern woman with 2 of the most amazing teenage daughters,
a menagerie of animals and a voracious appetite for reading who recently decided to write the storied running through her brain. I read my first book, Dr Suess' Cat in The Hat by myself at 4 and was hooked.
I believe a good book along with shoes, makeup and purses will never let a girl down and that all heroes of all the books
I have ever read or will ever write pale in comparison to my daddy! I am a sucker for a happy ending and love some hot sweaty sex with a healthy dose of romance.
I am still working on my story but believe it will contain all of the above with as much SPICE as I can work into it. CHEERS!

This is the first book I have read by Julia Mills. I was really impressed.
This is a story about Rayne and Kydle finding their soul-mate.This book has
humans,magic and dragon shifters. It is an amazing paranormal romance and a must read.
I can't wait to dive into the next one.

Genre – Romance.Comedy

Smut sells.
Michael Rourke learned this the hard way.
Struggling to make ends meet as a mystery writer, he sold his soul - and his pride - as he pedaled sex and lust writing under the pen name Christoph Strong.
No one knew he was the one behind the steamy stories on the bestsellers lists. And he planned to keep it that way.
Until he met her.
Monica Singer, an infamous blogger, is keen to discover the truth of his secret identity.
During a chance meeting at a book convention, Michael and Monica form an instant connection. And soon, an industry rivalry becomes something else entirely.
But as Michael starts to let his guard down, he doesn’t realize that the person he's learning to trust may be hiding secrets of her own.
Secrets that could ultimately destroy everything

I spend way more time on social media than I care to admit.

This story is sexy, fun and a hilarious read. The story
involves authors,bloggers, street teams and more! It is
a great book that makes fun at (in a good way) the online
reading community.

Holy cats!!! This book blew me away!!! The book started with paranormal history and then jumped into the present where the there are too many twists and turns to count. Several of which I said "I didn't see that coming". I was captivated with all the magic and how she brought it the past and present all together! Great job Melanie James! I couldn't put this one down!

Deciding to live life to the fullest, Rin calls a friend and makes an arrangement with him of a sexual nature, wanting to explore her more basic desires as well as experiment with some new ones, using sex as a way to break herself free of her chains.

When the rules are broken and her world is turned upside down and she is left brokenhearted, an old friend comes back and she becomes confused about her current path. He seems to want to help her, but is that all he wants? What does SHE want?

Rin fights to find her own path to independence and strength, wanting to be the kind of woman that is capable of having a family one day. Rin wants to heal and be the person that she knows that she can be, but if she waits too long, she may lose the one that's always been there for her, pushing her along the way.

I loved this book. It is about a woman trying to find out who she is after a divorce. She thought she have a friend with benefits would help her move on but It didn't work out the way she had intended. She didn't realize the person that could actually help her heal was near her the whole time. The feelings in this book were real and raw. It has a great deal of hot steamy sex! Go one click it today. You won't be sorry!
