ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bethany Daniel lives in Texas with her husband and 2 sons. She enjoys reading, photography and, of course, writing. Bethany really found the passion for writing again this last year and came up with the idea for Reconnected after years of following Hollywood gossip and reading books about girls always chasing the guys and thought it would be nice for it to be the other way around. She is currently writing Disconnected, the story of Reconnected from Liam's POV.

Disconnected by Bethany Daniel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


ARC kindly provided by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. This review is spoiler-free. 3.5 stars.

Screen star Liam Warren needs to do a “re-shoot” of the most important roll he ever played…husband to Katy.  How does Liam really feel about his relationship with Katy? Disconnected (book #2) by Bethany Daniel is the retelling of Liam and Katy’s relationship from Liam’s point of view.  Liam got caught up in all the trappings of being a Hollywood “it” boy causing him to lose his wife. Four years later after searching for Katy he runs into her while filming a movie in Georgia. Their relationship gets a “re-write” Hollywood style.
I really liked getting into Liam’s head and learning his feelings and thoughts.  There were so many obstacles getting in the way of their relationship -- psycho bitch co-star, paparazzi, fans and a controlling movie company etc . Although the story felt very rushed, this second chance romance unraveled pretty smoothly.
Disconnected didn’t feel like a regurgitated version of book one. This book can definitely be read as a stand-alone. I recommend reading the first book to get the full picture...but it’s not necessary.  I have to say I enjoyed Disconnected more than book one – Liam got to me :).  If you love celebrity/Hollywood romances – this book (and series) is for you.  Three and half Hollywood stars!!!

Excerpt:
A party ruined my life. It was supposed to be all about making a name for myself and showing everyone that I was the new kid on the block, but my wife was in the background and she left me.
When I got home from shooting the day after the party, I thought she would be there waiting for me with a home cooked meal like always. She had told me she wanted to keep something normal while everything else was so make-believe. But when I came in, all that was there was a note:
"I'm leaving. I hope you have all the successes you've ever wanted. I won't be along for this crazy ride. Goodbye.
Love, Katy"
I didn't believe her when she said she would leave. I thought she was just mad about all the girls in the house. I never thought she could really just be gone.
After I read that note, I tore the house apart. I ran through every room yelling her name and then I grabbed

My Unexpected Forever by Heidi McLaughlin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


**ARC provided by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. Expected release date: September 2. Spoiler free review.**

I’m going to say this now and get it off my chest. I think I love Harrison a little more than Liam. Don’t get get wrong Liam fans (I am one also) but there is something about Harrison that rocked my world a little more (maybe because I was a drummer…. or he might be the most sensitive rocker out there :).

I highly recommend reading the Forever My Girl (Beaumont, #1) and then My Everything (Beaumont, #1.5) before reading My Unexpected Forever (Beaumont, #2).

My Unexpected Forever is the story of Harrison and Katelyn(Liam and Josie’s band mate/best friend). Harrison is the hot as sin, tattooed-covered drummer of Liam’s band 4225 West. Harrison is a single rock star of a dad. He moves to Beaumont from LA to be with his band mates and starts to really get to know Katelyn (you will know back story from book one). His heart starts to beat to a difference drum...he wants Katelyn in a baddddd way. Katelyn is a recent widower and doesn't know if she will ever be able share her heart with another man. She is wildly attracted to Harrison even though he is not her type. Harrison looks like a biker bad ass and she is unsure if she really wants him around her twin girls. Katelyn soon learns that Harrison has a huge heart and hard-on for her ;) The sexual tension between the two is the size of a concert hall. A lot could go wrong with a baby mamma and evil ex running around town. Life in Beaumont, TX just got a little hotter….

My Unexpected Forever might be my favorite book in the series. Heidi McLaughlin really did a rock star job developing the characters and continuing the story line from book one. Liam and Josie are totally embedded into MUF (which was great…it wasn’t just a character spin-off based book). I really loved book one and happy to say book two lived up to my expectations. Solid 4 base drum sized stars.

BLURB:
There were still lessons to learn and consequences for the truth!
When Claire Nichols met Anthony Rawlings, she didn’t know they had a past, or that he had plans for her future. Over time, the role of teacher changed—games became reality—and domination turned to desire. Despite an insurmountable history, Claire and Tony found their way back to one another.
Just when they seemed to have it all—love, respect, and the promise of a family—the game master exposed the truth. Claire’s world once again spun out of control. Unwilling to allow her child to suffer the consequences of an old vendetta, Claire fled...
At one time, Claire was held captive in an opulent mansion—then her incarceration was a cell inside a state penitentiary. Was her new prison—a tropical island—truly less lonely? Perhaps that was the game master’s plan, all along?
Who will save Claire from her oldest nightmare and her newest reality? Will it be Tony? Can he forgive her for leaving him—again? Harry? Will he utilize previously unknown connections to save the woman who infiltrates his thoughts? Maybe Phil? Will his devotion in keeping Claire and her child safe be rewarded?
As the cards are played—sins of the past, innocent victims, and truths are revealed. With compartmentalization no longer an option, is the reality too much? Could there be an even worse isolation?
With the game master dealing from a stacked deck, can this new high-stakes game possibly be won?
When it’s all over and their cards are on the table—SOME will discover their bets were too high—they have nothing left to lose—ALL will learn the crucial lesson—the most important rule—there are CONSEQUENCES for the TRUTH!

I can see how a person is going to die.
I don't know when and I don't always know who but it's a curse I've had since childhood.
There are people who call what I see a gift but I disagree. After years of trying to ignore the visions that haunt me I'm being told I have to embrace this "gift".
If I refuse the punishment will be catastrophic.
Embracing the nightmares within my own mind is the only way I can save myself... and HIM.
The only man I've ever let close.
The only man I've ever loved.
Can I let go of the fear I've carried around my whole life in order to save him?
I just don't know.

About The Author

I'm a wife, mother, wino, coffee addict and avid a lover of all types of books, but romances are my main favs. My husband likes to say reading is my obsession but I just say it's my passion... there's a difference.

I've been writing since I was a little kid and I finally decided to take the leap and actually publish when Picking up the Pieces came to me. Now that I've been bitten by the writing bug I just can't seem to stop.

Synopsis:
Makenna Lewis cringes at any mention of the word commitment. She doesn’t want or need a relationship, but she does like sex (who doesn't).

That explains Noah, Sean, and Zander, her three 'friends with benefits'.
They know the score, they know they're not the only one, and each of them provide her with a different physical need that she craves and enjoys.

Until a late night encounter with the delicious Daniel Winters turns her preconceived notion of no-commitment completely on its head.
Soon she finds herself feeling things she vowed never to feel again, and when Daniel pushes for more than she’s willing to give, she falters.
What do you do when something that you’ve known to be so wrong in the past feels so damn right?
If you’re Mac, you run and hide.
But is Daniel the type of man who takes no for an answer?

Review of Connected


Connected by Kim Karr

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Not even the parade of freaks wearing nut huggers on the beach was going to distract me from finishing Kim Karrs book Connected (Connections). Yesterday, I acquired a suck ass sunburn because I was so into this book ( I'm on vacation in the Dominican Republic). This morning I loaded up with SPF 80 or whatever the bottle promised, found a palm tree that I could read under for a while and paid off my drink server to give me top shelf Patron instead of the shit that I can use to take my nail polish off with. Nothing was going to distract me.

There are books with heavy cliff hangers that have inflicted some I NEED TO READ the next book NOW angst for me like S.C Stephens Effortless, Georgia Cates Beauty From Pain, Gail McHugh's Collide, Rebecca Donovan's Breathing series... you get the picture... now Connections has made my list. Oh my freaking God! This book is high grade Kindle crack! I refuse to spoil this book for others... but what story of mind fuckery, love, loss, heartbreak, lust, grief, throw in some fine smut and a murder mystery ( you might think you have it figured out... you don't). I should be effing pissed at this cliffEFFINGhanger...but this book rocked so much that I can't be mad. Gibert, my beach bitch drink pimp better supersize my next cocktail for the book hangover I am already starting to feel. Did I mention the FANtactic references about DBags and The Mighty Storm? Don't miss this book...Connections has made my favorite shelf.
