Wired Ghost by Toby Neal

Paradise is drowning in lava.

What would you do to survive during a volcanic eruption?

Security specialists Sophie and Jake take a job to rescue a teen girl shacked up with a dangerous meth cooker on the Big Island, and their wilderness destination turns out to be in the path of the biggest eruption Hawaii has seen in decades. Soon, they’re embroiled in a natural disaster too hot for anyone to handle.

Trapped underground in a lava tube, engulfed by darkness and heat, they struggle to outrun a deadly force that consumes everything in its path.

My review:

Wow.

This book, like all the other Wired books, is absolutely amazing. It is an emotional roller coaster of a book. Sophie’s latest case takes her to a kipuka, a small “island” in lava, on the verge of an eruption. The danger is very real, from both the “bad guys” and from nature itself. This book contains some of the most intense chapters of any book I’ve read in a long time. Ms Neal brings us through a vast range of emotions, sometimes in quick succession.

We gets some nice catching up with beloved characters (and not so beloved) in this book, and that is always nice. However, if this is your first Wired book (and if so, whyyy??) you shouldn’t feel lost or confused. There is enough information to know who each person is easily. But if you’ve read this series from the beginning, and the series that originated Sophie’s character, you will love these appearances. I love how with each book Sophie grows personally in some way, but we get new layers to several characters in this book.

There is a reason why Toby Neal is my favorite author, and I cannot wait to see what comes next in this series.

My review:

Overall, I love this series. When I’m reading, it feels like I’m living at 425 Madison and it’s great. The various residents of the building are fun and interesting and have great stories.

That being said, I did not enjoy this one. The story itself was okay, it was entertaining, but I found myself saying “oh please” and rolling my eyes more often than not. I am not a fan of instalove at all, and this book is alllll about the instalove. Not only the couple when they first meet, but Brendan’s parents don’t bat an eye when their only son marries a mafia princess and entrenches his new business with the mob willingly. Brendan and Brynn were that annoying overly lovey couple, too. She goes home with him the night they meet, the I love yous start flying the next day, and they start trying to get pregnant immediately?? Brendan has a possessive, creepy vibe too. The other problem I had with the book was the dialogue. There isn’t a single contraction in the dialogue and NO ONE talks like that in everyday casual conversations.

There is a lot of action in this book, however. It does have an okay plot and good pacing. While this author’s style just isn’t for me, there will be those who enjoy it. If you like mafia romances, check this out.

Excerpt 

Copyright @ 2020 MK Moore

Ever since I skipped town last May to avoid a stalker, the threats against me have stopped, but my

boredom is at an all-time high, and so is my anxiety. My family is in a particular line of work that

makes a lot of enemies. That’s right, I am a mafia princess. Working at the Sex On The Beach

nightclub on the Atlantic City Boardwalk has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my

life. I hate what that says about who I used to be. I know my family would hate that I even work

here if I had told them where I was. 

If the name does not tell you what this club is all about, the atmosphere and pretty much

general lack of morals will. It looks like a seventies porno set threw up in here and left shag

carpeting and bright colored furniture behind. It is a monstrosity for sure. I am not sure who

is behind the threats, but I knew I had to leave to protect my family and myself. It started

with notes showing up in my purse whenever I was out. I opened them and promptly tossed

them. Threats are not new to the Vitali family, and that is how we handled them. My

immediate family consists of my father, Fabrizio, my mother, Fawn, my oldest brother,

Brando; still older than me brother, Bartolo; then me; and finally, the youngest, Bella. I have

a million cousins, though my favorite is Albie. However, our “you can’t touch me” mentality

had run its course when I received a picture of my younger sister, Bella. It was taken up

close, but you could tell she had no idea she was being photographed. She was laughing with

a boy from her Drama class. That note gave me two options: either marry the stalker,

whoever he is, or disappear forever. The picture told me that Bella would face the brunt of

refusal to do either. I chose the latter and took only cash, my important documents, and

clothes, leaving my cell phone and credit cards behind. However, the first thing I bought

was a new phone. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to not talk to my mom. For some reason, I

didn’t think that it was fair of me to drag my family into a fight they had nothing to do with.

They have enough going on with the day to day shit they deal with.

 

I drove until I reached the ocean, which I have always been fascinated with. Atlantic City

seemed far enough away to be safe but close enough if I decided to risk it and head home.  I

rented an apartment above a butcher shop and have been working for almost a year now, but

I miss my family and my mom’s authentic Italian cooking. I cannot even remember the last

time I had a meal that did not come from the bar or a fast food joint. If I am honest, I miss

my mom’s hugs more than anything. At least I get to talk to her every once in a while, but

it’s just not the same. Last year, I graduated from NYU with a dual certification in

elementary education and secondary history with a minor in History. I got certified to be a

teacher in New York, but then all this happened, and I never got a chance to get a job.

A Slice of Love by Teagan Hunter

Release Date: April 16

Jonas Schwartz isn’t just good at playing football. He’s also good at playing hearts and four years ago, he played mine like it
was the easiest game of his life. 

Brokenhearted, I ran off to art school, swearing to forget about my one-off secret weekend with the star
quarterback.

I’d heard whispers about his injury, but I never expected Jonas to return to our hometown to
rehab his knee, and I certainly never thought he’d show up on the other side of my door with a pizza in
hand.

He looks good. Better than before.Whatever–I’m over him. 

I’ve completely moved on.

I just wish my heart would get the memo…

 

My review:

I love this one!

Frankie and Jonas are great characters. Their chemistry is off the charts and their history is the sweetest. Julian was an amazing character and I love Jonas’s family!!

I loved this story in the Team Player 2 anthology, and this version gives us even more Fronas (ok so that’s not a good couple name, nvm) with extra chapters and an epilogue. And while this book is set in the world of the author’s Slice series, it is a total standalone. Beyond the pizza restaurant, there is no crossover.

ANNIKA

Cheating husband. On-air meltdown. Public
humiliation.

Lucky me, I’ve experienced them
all. 

Oh, and the implosion of my career as an up-
and-coming designer and renovation television darling.

That was then.

Now, I’m in the TV studio, more determined
than ever to prove to myself (and the few fans I have left), that I’m back for good. Nothing from
my past—no man, no mistake—is going to knock me down again.

If only fate—and Grayson Hesse—had gotten
the memo.

GRAYSON

Woodworker. Stone house restoration guru.And the new host of

Hesse and a Hard Place. 

This is what I know: 

If this show’s a success, I’ll finally be able to
give my family the financial stability they need. My chances of success go way up if I have the
best designer in the business working by my side. And the best in the business (despite the
lingering rumors) is Annika Hale.

She’s the triple threat: brilliant designer,
restoration maven, and the woman who stole my heart six years ago…and hasn’t looked back
since.

But that was then.

Now… Well, what is it they say? After all, 425
Madison is the perfect place to fall in love.

My review:

This was just the kind of book I needed right now. Easy, fun read light on the drama and angst. Annika is recovering  from a personal and professional disaster. Grayson is trying to keep his family afloat. Together they make a fabulous team, and the chemistry between them is fire.

This book is a wonderful little getaway from the real-life drama going on, and a fun behind-the-scenes look at the design and renovation shows we love to watch. Definitely get this second chance, one-that-got-away love story and escape to the world of 425 Madison for a couple hours.

Excerpt 

Copyright @ 2020 Katy Ames

I watch my best friend chew a hole in her lower lip. “Explain,
Abby. Before you make yourself bleed.”

Abby opens her mouth. I brace myself for whatever she’s
going to say and don’t hear a single word. I don’t hear anything at all, except the deep, rumbling
laugh that rolls through the soundstage.

My stomach does cartwheels and every single hair on the
back of my neck stands pin-straight. My anxiety before? It’s got nothing on the nerves that are
about to knock my knees right out from under me.

That laugh—his laugh… It’s as potent today as it was the first
time I heard it.

My eyelids flutter shut. All worries about first-day nerves and
my shitty ex-husband and career recovery vanish. Into that mental void rushes a series of
images, ones I’d mistakenly sworn, hoped, prayed, I’d forgotten.

A sweltering summer night. Low whispers and lurid
words.

Large calloused hands finding the secret, most sensitive parts
of my skin.

Lips made for sinning and promises whispered in a voice that
sounded like salvation. A voice that belongs to a man who vanished without a word.

A man who, if I’m reading my friend’s—no, strike that, former
friend’s expression correctly, has just claimed a starring role in the horrifically-timed comedy that
is my life.

Abby’s eyes dart between my face and the person behind me.
Plastering on a smile, she swivels her finger in what I’m assuming she thinks is the “turn around
now” sign. “Annika, this is Mr. Hesse.”

I pivot, thrust out my hand, but can’t unglue my eyes from the
ground.

M. G. Hesse.

G. As in Grayson, the quiet, kind, insanely hot carpenter I met
on my first network design job.

As in the only man I’ve ever fallen for so hard, so fast, I didn’t
stop to ask his last name before tumbling into his bed. Hell, I didn’t even care.

As in the guy I thought, against all the odds, would disprove
my mother’s lessons about how untrustworthy men are—only to become the poster child by
morning.

A broad palm slides against mine, fingers curling into a warm
grasp. A jolt of awareness lights up my nerves, and my eyes finally lift to a face I haven’t seen in
six years. Since the day I woke up in his bed, naked, in love, and alone.
