Review: TANTALIZING TALES by Tory Richards
One hot weekend to settle a debt.Yowza! Could a weekend of mind-blowing sex make two people realize their lovefor each other?
A woman gets the best 50thbirthday gift ever.
Stories were mildly enjoyable. Alittle too long for most of them, but worth a read.

Review: FLORIDA FLIRT by Ann Omasta and Callie Love
Can a rich billionaire live like anormal person for a month? He needs toslum it with a beautiful scuba diver and she needs to convince him to keep thedolphin resort.
This one was a little slow tostart. Interesting premise though. The narrative of each character was a littledry and repetitive. They each talked over how easy it would be to fall for theother. It’s a nice love story, sure, but not the greatest.

Excerpt One:
She Welcomes the Darkness While Wandering the DestructiveHalls of Hell
Wrapped in her cloak of skulls and crossbones
Look in her eyes, lose yourself in their depths, You’llexperience her long forgotten fights, Her constant battles, but be wary of herstrength, For she battles her demons all through the nights.
Look closely and you’ll see her torment swirling thesurface, As the demons write their names, etched into her bones, She welcomesthem into her soul through the darkness, As she is wrapped in her cloak ofskulls and crossbones.
Her soul is the blood drenched battleground, trampled Byhaunted ghosts of torment and screaming wiles, A graveyard of broken andforgotten stories of her life, Tales of her gory survival, hidden behindguileless smiles.
She is in her element as she wraps herself in midnight,Becoming one with the darkness inside and out, Broken apart by the moon glow,causing her to howl, Listening for her brokenness as she screams her doubt.
In turn, she carves her name on certain tombstones, Cradlingthe haunted cries of her past love as it dies, She reduces herself to the ashesfor those who hurt her, Giving the phoenix her wings, allowing it to rise.
She knows she has been forgotten, a whim at most, As theyscurry from her path, hiding behind their rock, She is born of starlight,somewhere far from her world, Lost, unable to find her home, pain her stumblingblock.
The storm keeps her company, at one with her turmoil, Sheknows it’s the only friend she can ever trust, Its honesty is its owndestructiveness for full disclosure, Forgoing the need to lie, pretension oflove and lust.
The more I watch, the more I realise she is broken and lost,As she starts to become one with the darkness, the shadow, Choosing to movefurther from the star that she was born into, Meandering through the halls ofhell, cradling her deathblow.
She endeavours to merge with her hellfire demons, Preferringthe numbness, the desire to torture and kill, It calms her eternal fires, herraw and bloody chaos, While she makes love to the evil and depraved at will.

BLURB:
Miacoh Zane, a Special Forces veteran, returns toAspen Ridge, Colorado a small town nestled in the Rocky Mountains, to settlehis beloved grandmother’s estate. But the town holds painful memories andfamily secrets he wants to leave behind for good.
Candle Bearclaw, a gifted computer analyst recruitedout of college by the CIA, resigns her position after fifteen years. Shereturns to her sleepy hometown only to discover her childhood crush has alsoreturned and a violent crime has been committed.
Due to their covert operations experience, Candleand Miacoh are thrown together to assist Homeland Security and her father,former chief of police, with a murder investigation. As they search for theperpetrators, the case takes an unusual twist that could blow the case wideopen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt One:
Candle Bearclawstood in front of Carl's large mahogany desk, laid the unsealed white envelopeface up on the polished desktop, and slid it toward her boss.
“What's this?”Carl eyed the offending envelope.
“It's what wetalked about last week, my resignation.” Candle swung her briefcase onto theleather chair beside her. Pulling out a laptop computer, a manila file folder,and a memory stick, she sat them on the corner of her boss's desk. “It's allhere, including the passwords necessary to access the sensitive files, my workthus far on the assignment, including my contacts, and it's a good stoppingpoint for me. Someone else should be able to pick up exactly where I left off,seamlessly. I am requesting a no contact status by you and the agency.” Shepulled out a .380 semi-automatic tucked into the waistband of her slacks,ejected the magazine, and racked the slide open. Gingerly setting the gun onthe desk beside the other items, she sighed.
He looked acrossthe desk at her, observing her actions. “I understand your position, but thatmay not be possible. How deep were you?”
Hands flat onthe desktop, she leaned over and glared at him. “Deep enough to understand theassignment went against every fiber of my being. You knew that when youassigned it to me, and yet, you did it anyway, knowing it would be my final actas a CIA operative.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Review: Candace, a computer geek thatresigned from a special task force agency, was looking for a normal life again.But she wasn’t normal though. Not only did she have a gift for technology, butshe also has the gift of “second sight.”
Candace felt like she needed abreak, and what better place was there to take a break than home? Back to Momand Dad. Things get a little slow as the family gets reacquainted again andCandace hears about what’s been going on with everyone in town. Going aroundtown, we meet several of those characters, which felt numerous to me. Not a fanof a story with too many characters. I wasn’t even sure how to pronounce theleading man’s name: Miacoh. Was it Mee-Eh-Ko? Mya-Ko? Or was the last part aKuh? That was a little confusion. I would’ve preferred an easier name.
The narrative was nice and easy,but the overall progression was slow. It was mostly the characters relating andtalking to each other at first; the murders don’t really happen until muchlater. And, of course, the murders were the best part for me. I liked how theauthor incorporated some paranormal elements along with a key romance andmystery; however, the whole thing was much too long and slow to keep up myinterest. The story was nicely written and it’s definitely worthy of a read.

Mira, a zoologist and secret cryptozoologistat Vegas Zoo, has observed an unusual wolf prowling the confines of the zoo andher own property. But her dream of discovering a new species and documentingher find brings her up against Vegas’ werewolf community when rumors of herdiscovery of this dangerous hybrid threaten to expose them.
Calan Creig, a Highland Heathen WulverEnforcer and head of Worldwide Security for Lycans, is summoned to Vegas toinvestigate. Although Mira’s eager to study this Tasmanian wolf lookalike,thought extinct for almost a hundred years, Calan is convinced he’ll be able todistract her and put obstacles in her path to prevent the discovery from beingwidespread. A playboy, he enjoys women and looks forward to seeing what Vegascan offer him—only, what it brings him is Mira, his mate!
But the hybrid wolf craves Mira to strengthenhis own bloodline and will stop at nothing to have her. Now Mira and Calan mustwork together to eliminate the threat of this renegade wolf…if they can findtheir way past their deep mistrust issues. It seems impossible, but with Mira’slife and all that Calan holds dear at stake, it’s the only hope left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt One:
Calan
The night wind lashed the casement windows of CastleCreigbourne, driving rain against the tower’s glass. The din woke me from abattle I was winning, striking down the enemy with my mighty claymore that I’dnamed Slayer. They don’t accuse me of having an iron soul for nothing. I nevergive up, and danger’s my life’s blood, even in my dreams.
Stretching, then grimacing as the numerous cuts and bruisesfrom my recent cage fight made themselves known, I checked the time. Five a.m.Early enough to avoid company. I treasured time alone, a rare commodity in theCreig clan.
My bleary vision was made worse by a pounding headachecurtesy of a night spent in our local pub celebrating the Burryman and myearlier knockout victory of a worthy opponent. I rubbed my eyes, blinked andspied my cell phone lying by the bed, reminding me of the encrypted email I’dgotten last night.
Right. Today my attendance was requested at virtual council.More like demanded, but also to be expected as my clan’s enforcer and one of aselect team of experts that composed the Worldwide Security for Lycans or WSL.The position was made for me…when I didn’t have a damn hangover. Well, a goodrun across the moors would clear my head of the remaining cobwebs.
With no thought to dress, I strode naked from the room andtook the stairs leading to the outdoors two at a time, exiting from the back ofthe keep. The scent of heather and moss stirred my senses as the rain ceasedand a rainbow appeared over a rise in the land. I transformed to my othernature, entering through the glimmering doorway in the dimension next door,then exiting the portal as wolf. That split-second moment in time when myenergy shifted, then reformed, exposing my wild nature, never got old.
On my massive paws, I loped across the wet green fields ofEilean maddah-allaidh or Wolf Island, eager to patrol our vast holdings andcheck for any interloper or breach of security. No one who knew of our piece ofoff-the-beaten-path real estate took the chance of riling one of us, theHighland Heathen Clan born of Wulvers and Vikings and ancient warriors, but Istill kept a sharp lookout for the unexpected.
Someone finding our shores and causing havoc could not, andwould not, be tolerated. The freedom of our heritage needed to continue, and Iwould protect my clan and our secrets to my dying breath. It explained why I’dchosen to live my life on my own, not willing to allow another to suffer if itwas cut short. Not that I intended that to happen, but in this world, shithappened.

“So, you don’t smoke, you don’t drink, and you don’t doHalloween? What do you do?”
“Whatever you’ll let me do, I guess,” he said. He hadn’tused that old line since college.
She was surprised, but she didn’t seem upset. She gazed athim speculatively for a few seconds and then leaned towards him. He didn’t wantto take anything for granted, so he waited for her to kiss him first, but heresponded without hesitation. She tasted of beer and cherry-flavored lip gloss.“Oh, gosh,” she said. “Wait till I tell Patty I kissed Mr. Kenniston.”

Review:
What could be worse than a badMonday? How about a really bad Monday with being caught in the middle of a bankrobbery? But this may not have been so bad because the woman that was heldhostage ended up connecting with the security guard that saved her. This isjust one of the stories you will find in Reluctant Hearts. It actually took mea while to realize this. The book is actually comprised of four differentstories. Four stories. Four couples. All reluctant to love again.Overall, this were fairly nicereads. The narrative was nice and easy, but the length and pace were much tooslow for my taste. To me, the stories felt more literary than anything. Eachstory had its moments and the characters generally had good comraderies;however, I felt that each story was not sustainable on its own. It felt like itneeded more. I honestly thought the four stories would combine in some uniquetwist of fate.
Stories did not really engage meall the way, but they’re suitable reads. All in all, the book was a fair read.

BLURB:
Loud, scary, and unknowing sounds woke up the young child in the morning, andshe wondered what or who could be causing the spooky noises. She hurried to herwindow, pulled open her curtains and looked outside. That's when she noticed itwas the wind blowing objects around. Filled with curiosity, she then ranoutside and immediately the gusty wind blew hard. It was so strong it startedblowing her away. What will she do to enjoy this beautiful windy day with treesand the leaves?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt One:
Loud whistlingand swooshing sounds woke me up this morning. I sat upright with a start, myheart racing. I heard howling (awooooo), scratching (chch-chch), and cracking(crk-crk). What could those noises be?
I hurried to mywindow, pulled open the curtains, and immediately saw that it was the windblowing objects around to make all those sounds.
The sun’s rayswarmed my face, and I smiled. The wind was blowing through the leaves and thebranches of the trees.
Suddenly, ablast of wind whipped through the trees, and they shook and creaked rapidly.
Old, tall, andrigid trees jolted from side to side, groaning with resistance. Young, small,and flexible trees swayed freely with the wind rushing by.
Leaves rustledand fluttered with excitement. Rhythm was all around! Could the trees bedancing and the leaves be waving?
The trees weredancing! They were dancing in the wind! The leaves were waving–they were wavingat me! All the leaves on all the trees were waving at me.
I waved helloto the trees. “Good morning, trees!”
I greeted theleaves. “Good morning, leaves!”
I ran outsideto join the trees. The wind was so strong it started blowing me away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Review:
Loud whistling and swooshing. Whatcould those sounds be? It was the wind…blowing objects around in a wild frenzy.Story is a poetic ode to the windydance of the trees and the flamboyant wave of the leaves. You’re automaticallydrawn to the colors and the directions draped across the pages. Rhythm was allaround. Such shapes and colors. And that strong wind crated a medley ofmovements. Suddenly, the character ended up dancing in the wind, too.
A very picturesque book you’llenjoy to look at.

Excerpt One:
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your all-in-one fertility guide!
Whether you picked up this book or it was a gift, you’vetaken a positive step towards enhancing your reproductive success and overallhealth— assuming you actually read it. My goal is to get you comfy and cozywith your reproductive system and the art and science of making a baby! The artis the delicious food you can eat and glorious orgasms that help you getpregnant. The science is the hundreds of biological processes that go intomaking a new human being.
No matter what your situation, gender, sexual orientation,or relationship status, this book provides insight into how you, a partner, ora surrogate can improve the odds of becoming pregnant. As the title suggests,conceiving and making a healthy baby requires a healthy and viable egg, ahealthy, motile sperm cell, and a uterus for the resulting embryo to grow in.Since the majority of humans have either testicles or ovaries and not both, ittakes two people (and sometimes three if you need a surrogate uterus) to make ababy. Although I have a “sperm health” section of this book (see Chapter 14),you’ll find that I’ve included information for people with testicles throughoutmany chapters and sections, not just in that single chapter. I highly encourageyou to read this book from start to finish as it tells the story ofreproduction and fertility challenges and how to address each one.
Within these pages I’ll discuss the foundational healthfactors that go into improving sperm and egg quality and uterine health. I alsoaddress which supplements may be helpful for increasing reproductive odds andreview your reproductive options if you’re not taking the oldpenis-ejaculating-into-vagina route.
