Review / Release Blitz: Cease Fire (Blackbridge Security #9) by Marie James

Release Date: April 7

Making something off-limits will always make that thing more appealing.
Jules Warren, my sister’s best friend, was no different.
She has been the leading lady in every fantasy I’ve had since I was a teenager.
There was no way I was turning her down when she invited me to her room.
Those fantasies? They had nothing on the real thing.
I was given the weekend to make my dreams come true.
The ramifications, however, will last a lifetime.
Keeping a secret is one thing.
Living with the lies is impossible.

MY REVIEW

Kit has had a crush on his sister's best friend, Jules, for what seems like forever now. She's off limits, though, thanks to his sister declaring ages ago that her brothers never date her friend. He thought he might have a chance after an encounter awhile ago, but she rejected him, cutting him to the quick, and he's stayed away since. But now they're thrown together at a wedding and she's suddenly offering him everything he's ever wanted - herself. So what if it's just a weekend of fun, he'll take whatever he can get of her. But will he really be able to walk away from her afterward? And what about when he finds out her real motivation for offering up this weekend of fun? Will he ever forgive her?

I haven't hated a female character as much as I hate Jules, in a long, long time! She's a selfish, lying, manipulative b word who never redeemed herself in my eyes. Kit forgave her and loved her, though, so she only gets a pass because of him. It's too bad he wasn't paired with an amazing woman his equal because I loved him. He's sweet, so so delicious and surprisingly bossy in the bedroom, and the most forgiving, swoon worthy guy, ever! The story itself is great - intense chemistry, the best kind of hero, and of course the whole Blackbridge crew along for the ride offering laughs and support, so I can safely give this 4 stars even if I absolutely despise Jules, the rest more than make up for all her shortcomings.


Meet Marie James
Let's see...where to begin...

I'm inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever.

I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.)

We have two boys we're doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman

I have a master's degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there's usually always some criminal/law element to my novels.

If I'm not writing; I'm reading.

My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I'm reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it's gotten me exactly where I need to be!)

I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
