I have read most of everything that Miss Jewel has published , but was not aware of this suspense romance she has been writing. I am a FAN! I finished this book in one sitting, I could not put it down. I like an amature, started reading this late at night. I was so creeped out. It's not frightening or a blood bath. It is just so creepy, for lack of a better word. I was immediately taken with Hartley, she is an amazing leading lady. Her spunk and strong will nature has me in , from the first few paragraphs. She has suffered a loss that would leave anyone absolutely devestated and it did. When she decides, not fully on board to get back out there and try her hand at dating again. Let's just say that things do not go so well front he very first date. Not wanting to fulfill her promise to her friend Taylor but even more so not wanting to let Taylor down, Hart agrees to go one one more date. To say that this story line was not predictable would be a lie. That is the only thing that I was really let down by. This was so easy to figure out . You knew from their first meeting that Jacob was going to be the bad guy. Well at least I did. The introduction of Ace was hilarious. With Hartley's need to make her neighbor say "Hello" and his need to stay silent and not interact, made for a funny subplot. Ace, he is just everything I want in my leading man. Strong, brooding, sexy and protective...typical Alpha male, and I LOVE it. He was the perfect match for Hartley, even if he would never admit it. This story has a clear message for women, do not sit by and become another victim! Take action and do not let anyone take away your control. Be smart, be vigilant and know what when something feels off, don't dismiss it. I truly loved Hartley and Taylor's instinct to survive. Neither one of them ever gave up and I found that so awesome. They did not wait to be rescued, they rescued themselves! I am looking forward to more of this writing from Ms. Jewel Bravo.

Blind Date by Belle Jewel...Review by Dawn
Raw Heat book 3 in the Larson Brothers series ...Review by Dawn
The third book in the Larson Brothers series from New York Times bestselling author Cherrie Lynn is the sexiest installment yet!Youngest Larson brother Damien has the luck of the devil. Fast talking and faster thinking, he owns a successful nightclub in Houston and runs an illegal poker room upstairs. After a troubled childhood, now nothing is out of Damien’s reach—except his accountant, Emma Haskell.Emma has always been drawn to Damien’s dark intensity and the gleam in his eyes that promises more than she can possibly handle. But when her brother’s gambling threatens to destroy her family, Damien makes her an offer she’d be crazy to accept—but can’t refuse: her brother’s debts will be forgiven, and Emma belongs to him for thirty days.In Damien’s world, he shows his angelic bookkeeper what it’s like to live with the devil. But Emma brings out a side in Damien he thought didn’t exist. Will the flames of lust scorch them both, or will this beauty tame the beast and give him something to fight for?Raw Heat scorches with emotional intensity and smoldering passion that will leave readers spellbound!Dawn's ReviewIt's funny to me or rather appropriately so, that I am in LOVE with Damien Larson. See Cherie Lynn wrote my one and only true book boyfriend, Brian Ross, in Rock Me. There is just something about the way she writes these brooding leading men. Anyway, Raw Heat is the third and final book in the Larson Brother's stories, and I believe the BEST! Where the other two were good, there is just something different about this one, and I believe that is Emma. She is a breath of fresh air. Rowan was a hard leading lady for me to get past in the first two books. So having a completely new and unknown leading lady worked wonderfully. The story behind Damien's brooding and reputation has been often talked about through out the series, but nothing definitive. He is darker and harder to read than Michael and Zane. Emma, WOW, I really enjoyed her. She was a quiet church mouse, the unnoticed, until she had to deliver bad news to her boss Damien. Little did she knew, she was on his radar. I loved that she was a force when pushed. The chemistry between Emma and Damien was off the charts. WOW, this is a sexy hot story. This is the book that I wish the rest of the series were. I could have read an entire series that revolved around Emma and Damien alone, that is how much I enjoyed this story. Also, the fact that Emma's family played a role in this story was intriguing. Her relationship with her brother, in turn her relationship with her parents, played out very well. I highly recommend this story.

Dawn's Review
With the perfect muse of Brock O' Hurun as Luke Dawson., Miss Adventures of a City Girl is wonderful! It is a fun read, I finished in one setting , that is how much I enjoyed it.
The combination of these two fantastic authors works so well in telling Madison and Luke's sexy, HOT, intense story. Ms. Wild and Miss Bliss tell a story that is not only the aforementioned, but also poignant. Issues such as PTSD , social anxiety, divorce and loss. This is much more than a romance story, this is a story about learning to live again. I ONLY wished they had a child, just because I am selfish and wanted more of their story.
I am not a big fan of insta love, so much that I took a break and asked my husband when he knew he loved me. I love a book that makes you think. He explained it so spot on that I went back in the story with a new set of eyes, and it worked!
I loved it so much! Thanks Ladies for an amazing read.
