I Heart Books Review 

Until Sunrise by Sarah O'Rourke 

Review by Theresa Esterline 

Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The crack of dawn never felt so good...

I loved this novel with a sassy leading lady and a domineering man. Love at first sight versus fear of heartbreak is the theme of this story set in Tennessee. So many quotes made me laugh out loud! No tissues needed for this one, maybe a bandaid if the first house makes you remember you need a tetanus shot! And now a bit about the story...

Chelle is sassy, crazy, fidgety and tends to speak her thoughts out loud. Luka is a domineering, rich, polished, loving and protecting, who knows exactly what he wants. Chelle is a free spirit, but she is afraid of love thanks to the examples from the women in her family. Luka moved to the small town from the big city with his fancy suits and cars. They are the best kind of crazy together. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Favorite passages:

- I accepted the fact that the thump I’d just heard echoing through my mind was the coffin lid slamming on my wild pussy-hound days.

- He was eyeing me the same way I’d eyed my dessert when it had arrived at the table.

- “Great! You want a cookie?” I snarled, lifting a hand to push him away from me.

- “So do you want to throw your jacket across a puddle, too, Prince Charming?”

- “Of course I was right. You think I landed a woman like your mother by being a putz?”

- Jesus, I couldn’t have it both ways! Either I wanted him or I didn’t!!

- Sure, the disruption to my sanity had come in the form of the sexiest man I’d ever seen, but still … he’d created flippin’ pandemonium in my previously well-ordered life. The bastard.

Note: I was given a free copy and voluntarily chose to review this book.

 

1. How did the two of you begin writing together?

We met in an online writing group, found out that we were writing similar type stories and plotlines, and soon became fast friends!   After a few months, we started beta reading for each other, and that soon morphed into “Ummmm, just help me out with this one paragraph, ‘kay?”    Needless to say, it grew into much more than just a paragraph or two when we started writing whole stories together. That was over 9 years ago...and wow!  Life has surely changed so much during that time. We call ourselves Crazy One and Crazy Two -- for VERY obvious reasons!

      2.  Where did the concept for Until Sunrise come from?

Until Sunrise is based in the Happily Ever Alpha Kindle World (Aurora Rose Reynolds.)  Our characters were very briefly mentioned in ARR’s book Until Ashlyn. We had the great pleasure of giving a romantic (and funny!) backstory to Michelle and Luke that we hope does justice to ARR’s amazing world!

      3. What is your favourite type of book to read?  

Romance.  Romance. And MORE Romance!!!  

      4. Out of all the books you’ve written, do you have a favourite?  

Oh, we’re not supposed to have favorites, right?  Well, don’t tell the other little book children, but we are both exceedingly fond of Man of Honor.   Zeke is the ultimate hero that we just love to pieces!

       5. What is your writing process?

Our process usually starts with a few glasses of wine and a 4-hour phone call.Crazy One usually  has some wild-ass idea for an off-the-wall story, so we start with 30 minutes of Crazy Two trying to talk Crazy One out of the latest adventure. It seldom works. Then, Crazy Two resigns herself to 4-6 months of writing hell. (FYI: In case you’re wondering, Crazy Two knows the battle has been lost when Crazy One lets out a war cry of "Bitch, let's do this thing!”)

At the beginning, we usually talk and talk and talk about plotlines, settings, characters, etc. before the first word is written. Do NOT underestimate the amount of talking that we do. We then make sure that all of our crazy meds are filled and available at a moment's notice. Then Crazy One will start writing – and after an inordinate amount of bitching, whining, and complaining, she sends the chapters to Crazy Two for review. Crazy Two then drinks a few bottles of wine, puts on her football helmet, and goes to battle with Crazy One over any changes. This can get bloody.

When the book is finished, Crazy Two then edits and rewrites...and sends it back to Crazy One, who has her Momma and the Crazy Crew Street Team read it while simultaneously yelling about the ridiculous and wicked cuts that were made to her precious manuscript. Momma, who obviously was a Grammar Nazi in a previous life, then lectures both Crazies on their lack of knowledge concerning basic English language structure. (Ignore Momma...she’s a little bitter about all those dollars spent on Crazy One’s college education. Hi, Momma!)

In the end, Crazy Two prepares the covers (which usually sends Crazy One into hiding because Crazy Two becomes slightly psychotic during design time. It’s not her fault...no one appreciates how much she SUFFERS for her art!)  Then we publish the book and pray. And drink. A lot. There ya go! Does that sound confusing? Imagine how we feel!

    6. If you could meet one author, who would it be and why?

Well, we’ve been blessed to meet so maaaaany of our idols recently. BUT...if we were able to turn back the clock, we’d want to meet Margaret Mitchell...hands down.  In our opinion, that woman wrote the best alpha male ever to grace the pages of a book. We would love to just have 5 tiny, short minutes with her to pick her brain and find out what motivated her to write Gone With the Wind and how she managed to develop such amazing characters!  (And we’re both born and raised in the South...)

    7. Where does your inspiration come from?

There’s an old saying that recommends that you “Write what you know.”  We’ve taken that to heart, and most of our books are set in the South (southern United States) and are about Southern belles and their kick-ass alphas.  Since both of us were born and raised in the South, we’re pretty well-versed in how romance works down here, and we often find ourselves including scenes or dialogue that we have heard or actually said!

    8. What are your favourite things about signings?  Do you get nervous at them?

Oh, Crazy One is our signing guru.  She loves to interact with our current readers and meet new readers!  Signings are also a time for to be fangirls and get to meet the other authors that we love and admire!

    9. What inspired you to become writers?

We each started for different reasons but ALMOST at the same time.  Crazy One started writing in order to deal with her husband’s military deployment.  Crazy Two began writing in order to relax from work issues.

    10. What are your next upcoming releases?  

We’re currently working on Copy Cat, which will be a companion story to our paranormal shifter romance Cat Scratch Fever.  Then, we’ll be working on Maggie and Ice’s story (from our Passion in Paradise series.) We’re not quite sure on the title yet, but we do have it narrowed down to two choices! That’s progress for us!

AUTHOR INTERVIEW

1.     Where do you get your story ideas?  Plot lines?  

For Miss Match, a friend showed us an actual craigslist ad with the premise we used for the book. It blew our minds that someone had the chutzpah to post it, and we wanted to figure out what kind of guy that was- and how to make him likeable. In general, we both like to say, “what if?” a lot, and go from there. We’re also not worried about being super-realistic, so we can take our characters to outlandish places. It gives us more freedom.

2.     Do you base your characters on real people?  If yes, who are your characters based on?  

Not exactly, but it occurred to us much later in writing Miss Match that Kayti and Andy have a lot in common, as do Laurelin and Blake. Sometimes putting your all into a story means literally putting yourself into a story, it turns out.

3.     Do you use your own experiences in the story? 

Not quite as much in this book as in other things we’ve written. But there’s always elements, for example, Laurelin is a big pinball fan in real life.

4.     What is your writing process?  Do you write from an outline or do you shoot from the hip?

There’s a bit of both. When we started writing Miss Match in earnest, we had already sold it on proposal. That means that our publisher had our first three chapters, and a couple-page summary of the rest of the story. So we were all on the same page about what was going to happen plot-wise, but we like to surprise each other too. So certain things that Andy gets up to (no spoilers!) were written off the cuff just to make the other one laugh.

5.     Do you plan to write in another genre other than romcom? 

Definitely! Laurelin’s previously published works like the Fixed series are much more angsty-romance. In December, her foray into romantic suspense comes out, First Touch. Kayti’s working on a solo romcom at current, but has a straight fiction novel outlined for next year. And when we met, we were both writing YA. So basically- we love to read all kinds of books, and write them as well!

I HEART BOOKS REVIEW

Miss Match by Laurelin McGee
Review by Wennie Conedy

Stars: 5

They say it only takes 3 seconds to make a lasting first impression. And if that were true, in 3 seconds. Andrea Dawson pegged Blake Donovan as an ass. That was her first impression. Her second impression? He is a hot looking ass. Ok, that doesn't help does it?

In Miss Match, Blake Donovan is in search of a wife. That's right. Mega-Millionaire and toast of the town, CEO and owner of a successful IT company, and hottie Blake Donovan is looking for a life partner. And in true fashion for an IT entrepreneur, he conducts his search in a most unusual manner. He places an ad on Craig's list for a Personal Concierge, aka Wife Finder.

Enter Andrea Dawson. Down on her luck, Andrea is unemployed, lives with her sister, and no job prospects in sight, she is forced to consider a position with Blake Donovan. She has very little marketable job skills. The only thing she is good at is reading people, or should I call her a profiler. With this skill, she probably is the right person to help Blake find a wife. Or is she?

Blake doesn't make the job easy for her though.

"It was true that he didn't like ambitious women, and those with degrees tended to be. Many educated women also tended to have opinions, and those simply would not stand when his spouse was entertaining business associates. "

When presented with a possible candidate who is an active member of PETA, he vehemently rejects her. Why?

"PETA is for vegans. Vegans, Andrea ... Do you think I plan on dating this woman at salad bars ...?"

See? Ass. Yes?

The interaction between these two just had me in stitches. Especially when Andrea gets serious about finding her boss a wife. There's just a touch of Lucy Ricardo in Andrea as she comes up with all these mad situations to turn her boss from "jerkweed to man" - her words, not mine.

Between diabetic cats, feminists, bobs not boobs (well, that too), PETA advocacy, exotic women, puppies, and shoes, Miss Match will find you either giggling or belting out a guffaw.

I enjoyed reading this cleverly crafted romp between two people whose preconceived notions and biases prevent them from seeing what is right in from of their eyes. They are the perfect match, and Miss Match is a must summer read for me.

I HEART BOOKS REVIEW

Hunger (The Seductors Series Vol. 2) by B.L. Wilde
Review by Jennifer Ballam

Stars: 5

The premise for this series is one that I have not come across before which makes it unique. With so many romance books flooding the market this is an incredibly good thing! The idea upon reading the blurb for the first book in the series didn’t have me convinced, to me it sounded a lot like high class hooker playing James Bond, which to a certain degree it kind of is, however you cannot help liking the seductors, well most of them anyway, Alicia is definite exception!!

This part of the review contains spoilers for book 1. After Jade has completed her mission from the 1^st book and retrieved the blueprint for the nuclear weapon that Oliver’s company was producing she walked away from Oliver. She knows that she loves him but to walk away was the only way she could save him, and possibly herself. That is easier said than done so when Oliver becomes a target for the Seductors again Jade once more has to step into Oliver’s life, something that goes against all the Seductors rules.

I couldn’t wait to see how the pair were going to reconnect after Jade walked away from him at the end of the last book and I really wasn’t disappointed. Oliver I fell in love with in the 1^st book and that didn’t change at all in this instalment of their story. What did change in this book was that I actually managed to like Jade. I will be the 1^st to admit I kind of hated her after she turned her back on Oliver at the end of book 1. She won me over in this book. Completely.

Alicia is a character that you cannot help but hate, trust me she is a first class…..you get the idea!! I really want Jade to give her what she truly deserves, a huge, hard slap!! The sex in the book (fanning myself) is as hot as the 1^st book but means more as you know they love one another.

I can’t help but worry about the secrets that Jade is keeping from Oliver and being concerned about the clause in her agreement with the Seductors to be able to assume her Jade Gibbs identity and go to Oliver at the end of her contract. You can tell I love the characters the way I worry about them like a friend.

All in all I love the book, the series, the characters and the author even more for writing these books! I cannot wait to see how this mission will pan out and am now waiting with baited breath for the next instalment.

Please note I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Author and Character Interviews:

I am incredibly pleased to be here with not only B.L. Wilde but with Oliver Kirkham and Jade…Gibbs.

(Everyone says hello and shakes hands, me swooning on shaking Oliver’s hand much to Jade’s displeasure!)

I’m going to launch straight into a personal question for you I’m afraid Oliver, how did you feel when Jade walked out on you and what did you do in the time you were apart?

Oliver: That’s okay Jennifer, Jade and I have talked this through. I’m sure she doesn’t mind me talking to you about it.

It was a difficult time for me. At first, I was convinced that she had been kidnapped. It didn’t make any sense after what I had just confessed to her. Then when my uncle brought me the footage of her leaving in the middle of the night, it crushed me. I didn’t move from my master suite for three days, which is so unlike me. Considering I’m a pretty smart man, I just didn’t get it. I understand now, I’d put too much pressure on her, and she ran scared.

Jade: I was partly to blame too, I should have been stronger. I was so stupid.

Oliver: None of that matters now, Beautiful.

Once I realized she had ran, I set about trying to find her. It was wrong, and Jade has scolded me for this, but I put a tracker on her bank account. I needed to know she was safe. Looking back now, I know I shouldn’t have done it, but I was going out of my mind.

I think it took me a month to return back to work fully. My uncle enjoyed taking over the reins a little too much. I needed a distraction and work was the answer. I became much like the man I had been before  Jade—solely focused on my job, using it to block out any feelings. She was always at the back on my mind, though.

B.L.Wilde: Hey, (looking at Oliver and Jade) stop with the doey eyed looks toward each other. We have an interview to do!

Jade & Oliver in unison: Sorry, Bee.

Was it hard to accept Jade back in your life and how did you feel upon seeing her again?

Oliver: After the initial shock of seeing her, no. I knew I wouldn’t be able to let her go again. I love her—that has never changed. I did, however, have to learn to trust her again. I was guarded that first month when she returned.

Jade: You barely touched me in that time. 

Oliver: But I’ve more than made up for it since. (Raises his eyebrows suggestively)

Jade: Behave, or Bee will tell us off again.

Oliver: Trust is a big issue to me. In my position, with all the power I have, it’s important.

So, going back to how I felt when I first saw her again. I thought I was dreaming at first, that perhaps I had finally gone crazy. When you spend so long praying for something to come back and it does, well…it’s hard to explain. I was angry that first night when the realization hit me. I may have used my PA a little to make Jade jealous, which was wrong of me.

Jade: Yes it was!

Oliver: Jade doesn’t like my PA. She’s off sick at the moment. Jade is filling in for her, and doing a much better job, if I’m being honest.

Once I was over the anger of seeing her after so long, I knew what I had to do. I can’t live without her. She’s deep in my soul now. There is no going back for me.

Jade how hard was it for you to walk away from Oliver and were you thinking about seeing him again regardless of everything when you eventually were free to?

Jade: (She looks a little dazed from Oliver’s last answer) Walking away from Oliver was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’ve never been truly in love before—I guess you could say it spooked me.  I’m not the kind of person someone can depend on. I worried that I’d let him down.

Oliver: You could never let me down, Beautiful.  

Jade: You don’t know that for sure, Oliver.

When we were apart, I yearned for him every single day. I’d never known a pain like it. It consumed me. It even haunted my dreams. It would have broken me eventually. I wouldn’t have been able to stay away from him forever, and then fate had a different plan and brought us back together.

Oliver does the line of business that you are in make you wary of forming personal relationships and Jade do you not worry that his line of work will eventually be the reason for you to have to split for good (raising eyebrow at her because I know!)?

Oliver: Definitely, I have many enemies in my line of work.  That was one thing that  my father taught me—to have trust, respect, and love from your partner. I trust Jade with my life. I know she’ll never let me down.

Jade: I don’t like to think about that, but I do  sometimes still worry that I’ll get lost in his world. He’s a very powerful man, and I’m just a small town interior designer. What can I really offer him?

Oliver:  I’ll never let you get lost in my world, Sweetheart. You are my world.

Jade: I’m just being silly…ignore me. It’s just my insecurities showing again. (Oliver and Jade start whispering to each other)

(I turn to B.L. Wilde at this point taking her to one side and asking)

How did you come up with the idea of the Seductors and with Oliver? Should anyone be worried that you base your characters around them!?

B.L.Wilde: LOL, no I never base any of my characters on anyone I know. It all comes from my crazy brain.

The Seductors, well, where do I start? I loved James Bond as a child, and as I got older, I wondered what a female version would be like. Jade was born from that idea. Of course, when you have a feisty female lead, you need a hot dirty talking alpha male, so in comes Oliver. He kind of wrote himself. I have no idea where his dirty mouth came from. ;)

I’ll let you in on a secret, though—my original plan for The Seductors Series was to have a different Seductor for each book, but well, Jade and Oliver’s story kind of expanded as I wrote it, and now they are the main characters for the whole series. But don’t let them know that. They are big-headed enough as it is. ;) 

When do you envisage Jade and Oliver getting their HEA (it is going to happen right), will it be in book 3 or will you make us, and them, wait?

B.L.Wilde:  Devotion does come to a conclusion in a way, but Oliver and Jade have a bit more of their story to tell. After book 3, there will be a novella in a different point of view than Jade’s, then the final book will be out after that. So, that’s four novels and a novella for Jade and Oliver’s story.

I may do a few novella’s from sideline characters in the future, too. I do have a soft spot for Drew and Georgie, but I have other writing projects that will come before that.

The bottom line is that Oliver and Jade will get their HEA in the end. You’ll just have to wait and see when. ;)

Excerpt:

“I heard you were back.” I groaned internally as Mario spoke from behind me in the laundry room a little later. “Did Miss S put you on lockdown again?” he mocked.   

“You’re not funny, Mario.” I didn’t even look up at him as I continued to fold my clothes.

“I really thought I’d break you while you were cooped up in here. I was hoping you’d take your frustration out on me.” By the level of his voice, I could tell that he was right behind me. I turned around quickly, pushing his chest before he laid a finger on me.

“How many times do I have to tell you, this isn’t a game? I’m not fucking interested!” I seethed, barging past him. Mario grabbed my waist, trying to pull me toward him.

“Another few weeks and I would have had you. You wouldn’t be a Seductor if you weren’t addicted to sex like me. You’re only holding back because you don’t want to get attached. We’d be good together and you know it. I could give that sweet pussy of yours a real good beating if you just let go.” I lost it, slamming the heel of my shoe hard into his foot. Me get attached to Mario’s cock? I was wrong—this guy was hilarious.  “Oww…you fucking bitch!” he yelled, hopping around while clutching his injured foot. I didn’t even try to hide my snigger as I walked past him. You deserved that, Mario!

I was still chuckling to myself when I bumped into Molly in the hallway.

“Sonia is ready to see you now.” She had a worried look on her face.

“What’s wrong?”

“Alicia came to get you.”

“She’s back? I thought she wasn’t due back for a progress report for another few weeks.” My mind was racing. Why the hell would Alicia come to get me? It didn’t make any sense; Sonia knew I hated her.

“Sonia wanted her back early. I’m not sure things are going too well with the mission.” Molly followed me back to my room. “What if your theory is right and Alicia has been with Oliver these last few months?” I dumped my clean clothes on my bed, trying to compose myself. I was making Molly paranoid now, and that wasn’t good.    

“Why would Oliver become a target again? It doesn’t make any sense. You and Georgie have been telling me that for months.”

“I don’t know, but it all seems a little strange to me.”

“You’re really not helping. You’re supposed to say that I’ve gone crazy. Do you know how ridiculous this all sounds?” I threw my arms up in the air in frustration.   

“Go and see Miss S and finally put your mind at rest. Georgie and I know it’s been eating away at you. You need answers, Jade.”

“I can’t hide anything from you two, can I?” I sighed, grabbing my phone. Molly was right—I couldn’t put it off any longer. I needed to find out what was going on.

Alicia was standing outside Sonia’s office, talking on her phone when I arrived.

“No, really, it was me. I was clearly reading the signs wrong. I can’t apologize enough.” Alicia’s eyes gleamed with smugness when she caught sight of me entering Sonia’s office. What was all that about? “We’ll forget it ever happened. I shouldn’t have crossed my professional boundaries. I don’t want this to come between us…” I didn’t bother to listen to the rest of her conversation as my eyes caught Sonia.

“Jade,” she said as she stood up from behind her desk. That was new. Sonia never stood up for anyone. “You can close the door.” I closed it with a puzzled look on my face. “Alicia doesn’t know I’m bringing you in on this mission yet.” It was a mission! Thank God! No, wait…if Sonia was bringing me in, it could only mean one thing! Damn it!

“The mission involves working with Alicia,” I groaned, taking a seat in front of her desk. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad this is a mission, but do I have to work with her? Can’t someone else do it?”

“Jade, I’m afraid you’re our only hope. I’m about to go against everything I’ve ever done while running the Seductors, but I can’t see any other way around it. Alicia has been on this case for almost two months and has gotten nowhere.”

“You want me to take over Alicia’s mission?” I frowned. Since when had Alicia had a problem seducing a man? Everything started to dawn on me then, and I clutched the arms of my chair tightly.

“I need the two of you to work together. This steal…it’s asking a lot. We aren’t even sure if it exists.” Now Sonia was losing me. “If we secure what we’ve been hired to find, our clients are willing to pay over one hundred million dollars. Maybe even more. There is no real price for it.”  I was sure my mouth fell to the floor. One hundred million dollars? What the hell was the steal? “Jade, I’m asking a lot of you here, but I’ve hit a wall. If Alicia can’t work her magic, it can only mean one thing.” With bated breath, I was hanging on her every word. “He isn’t over you.”

Jade has worked as a Seductor in a secret organization for five years now. Her main job? To earn the trust of her targets and secure the object or information her company was hired to steal—by any means necessary. She’s damn good at it, too.

With five years left on her contract, she is handed an assignment that turns her world upside down.

Oliver Kirkham is the attractive, young CEO of Kirkham Industries, a weapons manufacturing company, and is currently in possession of some very important blueprints—blueprints that could change the way war, as we know it, works. He’s extremely focused and doesn’t have time to date, at least until he comes to the rescue of a shy but very alluring Jade Gibbs.

What happens when one night of passion turns into more? Will Jade allow her feelings for Oliver to get in the way of her mission? Or will she do what she was hired to do and secure the steal?
