Review - 'Breaking Defense' by JB Salsbury - Carey tries to make up from the sins of his past



Review
In this book, we go back into The Fighting world (something I didn't catch on until about 20% of the way in the book when we find out Carey's last name). Carey is blasted with someone from his past and he has a secret that he needs to Rowan if he wants any chance to have a future with her.

The story is a quick read, and to be honest it's written that way. I really enjoyed the Fighting books and this one didn't quite meet my expectations. It felt very much like a novella but was a bit longer then the typical length. The fact that it is a quick book, there wasn't a whole lot of development for the characters. We have a bit of a background for Carey, but there is nothing really for Rowan. I would have liked to have dove deeper into her background.

I did enjoy the back and forth between the characters. Once Carey decides that he does like Rowan and want her, he has to work for it. Rowan is not secure with herself in the relationship (that is until the lights go out wink wink).

The quick pace of the story is what took me out of it. Also the fact that Carey did a REALLY bad thing and did something that made Rowan's life very difficult, she seemed to just forgive him after a few days. I feel like it would take more time and yes I get that it's a book, but 2 days to forgive? Just felt out of character for her.

Wanda is struggling to keep control in episode 7 of 'WandaVision'

  If you are not already hooked on Marvel’s new TV show on Disney+ WandaVision then this week’s episode will certainly have you hook, line, and sinker. This week’s show is titled ‘Breaking the Fourth Wall’ and in some ways it breaks more walls then that. The show hits the 2000s and Modern Family seems to be the theme with some splashes of other sitcoms from the 2000s. I really enjoyed the commentary that Wanda and Vision have when they are talking to the camera. The glances and the 'knowing stare' from Vision are completely spot on.  Like the other episodes, this one is jam-packed with information so you need to make sure you are paying attention. Wanda is slowly but surely losing control of the Hex. The kids are noticing this and want to help but Wanda just thinks relaxing will help (not likely). In the reality part of the show, we discover that Hayward is trying to get Vision back so he can use him as a weapon (no surprise there). Monica and Jimmy meet with her friend (...

Review: 'Dominik' by Sawyer Bennett - Can Dominik tame Willow's wild heart?

In the 6th book of the series, Dominik takes the lead as he tries to get Willow out of his thoughts, but that proves more difficult the more time he spends with her. Willow doesn't want to tie herself down to this man, but the more she fights, the harder she falls. When you do book series like this, it's hard to like every single one. Especially when you unintentionally compare the books with one another. I had a hard time liking the relationship with Dominik and Willow. Perhaps its that we didn't really get to see the beginning (you hear about it in other books) or maybe I just didn't like the way that they are together. It just didn't tickle my fancy. They didn't have that 'it' factor that separates the story from others. I did enjoy the cat and mouse game that Willow was playing with Dominik. That part was entertaining. See a man of Dominik stature get frustrated and make moves that I am sure are out of his character. But even that got old aft...

'Sinful King' by Claire Contreras is now available

The Sinful King, a new, sexy, 100% stand-alone novel by New York Times bestselling author, Claire Contreras, is LIVE! If you had any ties to Marbella, it was impossible for you not to have heard the stories about Prince Elias and his debauchery. Every summer he arrived with his security detail and friends in tow and rented out a row of cottages near the water. Cottages that belonged to my family. Each of those summers, my parents sent me away – summer camp and later, boarding school. Anything to keep me away from the royals and their partying. I hadn’t been home in years, but when I finally come back for the summer, I see that not much has changed. Like all the summers I’d been gone, Prince Elias is back, but this time with an incognito security detail and no friends. This time, there is no partying, no noise, no crowds. No reason at all to even think he was there. I’m given strict orders not to talk to him, not to even look in his direction, but he makes t...
