Review: One More Betrayal (Carson Brothers #3) by Stina Lindenblatt


One More Betrayal: Hidden Secrets Trilogy Book 2 (The Carson Brothers) by Stina Lindenblatt is LIVE!



Jessica and Troy’s exciting story continues in the second book of the HIDDEN SECRETS TRILOGY as passion and danger collide…

Despite Jess’s initial reluctance to get involved with ex-Marine Troy Carson, her friendship with him is growing to be something more. But love cannot exist without trust, and trust is something she can't afford—not when she needs to cling to the secrets of her past.

Not when she’s hoping to be part of her daughter’s life again. Too much is at stake if the truth gets out.

As Jess tries to put the pieces of her life back together after being wrongfully imprisoned for the death of her abusive husband, she recognizes her past life in a new friend. Refusing to let history repeat itself, Jess is determined to get her friend away from the man who is abusing her.

But in doing so, Jess’s past is at risk of being revealed, costing her everything she holds dear: Troy. Her daughter. Her life…

The dual timeline book is the second novel in Hidden Secrets Trilogy. The books in the trilogy have to be read in order. All other books in the Carson Brother series are standalone.

MY REVIEW


Jess has started over with new everything - life, love, and friends. Things are going along swimmingly except for the fact that Troy knows she still doesn't trust him, that there's something big she's keeping from him. And yet, it's obvious she's confided in his brother, but not Troy. Is she ever going to completely trust him? If not, can Troy stay knowing he doesn't have all of her?


I feel for Jess, and Troy too. Jess has so much she's dealing with, PTSD, shame and embarassment for her past, and the secret she's hiding from Troy, and it's affecting both her and Troy. I'm not going to lie - it was hard reading, knowing that when this couple imploded, it was going to be painful, and it was, very. But there's also hope weaved in, even though there's a big cliffhanger at the end. I think this couple has staying power and I'm very anxious to find out how they navigate everything when the next installment releases.

Review: Winter Interlude: An American Revolutionary Novelette (American Revolutionary Tales 2) by Regina Kammer

Review of Winter Interlude: An American Revolutionary Novelette by Regina Kammer Captain Samuel Taylor and Lieutenant Patrick Hamilton recall their first steamy encounter, which was a MFM threesome in a brothel. It morphed into more and now the two are contemplating their futures with the women they love, and their futures with each other. If you think times are hard for the LGBT community now, think of how hard they were during the American Revolution. Winter Interlude is well developed, which is surprising given its short length. I am so interested in knowing what is to become of Samuel and Patrick's forbidden relationship. Do they stay together? Or do they go their separate ways, and live out their lives with their women? Now that they've admitted their love for each other, how impossible would it be for them to be without each other? I have to know, now! If you like MM fiction and/or historical fiction, I highly recommend you give Winter Interlude a read. It...
