THE PROPOSAL

THE PROPOSAL

L. Steele

Reviewed by Author Roy Murry

 

Liam and Isla's erotic romance journey follows their thoughts as they navigate their predicament, which begins with a proposal contract. She clarifies her thoughts in one chapter, followed by his complicated impressions.

He says to her, in one episode, "The only 'please' I want to hear from you is when you're under me with your pussy pried open and around my cock. This statement is mild in the hypersexual scenes.

Between their sexual encounters, Liam and Isla go into long explanations as to why they should or should not be together. They marry to complete part of the contract.

However, not everything is well with the agreement. She has a secret, but billionaire Liam keeps waiting for her to confess.

This romance's complications go on and on - too long for me. But the banter is worth waiting for the ending.

L. Steel has put together a series in the EROTIC and ROMANCE genre that reading lovers will enjoy. This story's sex scenes were too much for me.

But all the other facets of Liam and Isla's predicaments were interesting. And the writing is above par.

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

A secret garden lies behind a florist shop that Mitsy inherits from her grandmother. An important woman sips one of her teas at a town event, dies, and Mitsy is among the suspects who murdered her.

This changes as she finds nuggets of information in the garden. Mitsy turns over her grandmother's notes to a good-looking detective.

A collaboration with the local detective begins as Mitsy uncovers each secret. Their work leads to a group of locals who may be the culprits in a poisoning.

The story moves with the rhythm of a metronome, with each paragraph flowing into the next and into the next chapter. Reading this was fun.

WHICH WITCH IS WHICH

WHICH WITCH IS WHICH

Cynthia St. Aubin; Cindy Stark

Kerrigan Byrne; Tiffinie Helmer

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

If you love the WITCH genre, this book is for you. Tierra, a witch, summons her sisters using magic.

Each sister is her doppelganger and possesses a witch element: air, water, fire, or earth. In their adventures to Tierra's home in Port Townsend, Moira, Claire, and Aerin use a form of sexual prowess to delay man's evil control.

Men, the Bible's Four Horsemen, want to destroy the world. However, the four sister witches must become three. The conflict ends in a battle of good against evil.

The four authors do an excellent job of bringing every story together in enjoyable magical prose. This is the first in a series that witch lovers should have on the bookshelf.

Moonlight Murder Mystery Club

Moonlight Murder

Mystery Club

BLAKE RIVERS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Sage Holloway, a baker, moves back to Crescent Harbor, where everyone knows your name, especially Margaret. A disliked entrepreneur is found dead in his office, and Sage's employee is the prime suspect.

But this case is a no-brainer; readers of this cozy mystery will have the answer halfway through. Sage is the only one asking questions to help her employee, a young single mother.

Sage names the black cat Shadow, who moves in and steals the show. His antics and Margaret's comments lead Sage to ask the right questions that solve the crime.

Blake Rivers' writing is smooth, easy to read, and easy to follow. Her characters will hold up in the series, and a love story is simmering in the background.

Fun Read. https://amzn.to/4ilPnqd

The Echanted Garden Cafe

THE ENCHANTED

GARDEN CAFÉ

Abigail Drake

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

At first, I thought ENCHANTED was a normal mystery. However, this story is a mishmash of comedy, drama, and romance.

The characters range from Fiona, a conservative skeptic, to her mother and friends, free spirits: palm and card readers, a Trans clothing store owner, and other interesting people. An elderly saxophone player is attacked, leading to a whirlwind of events.

A land grab sits at the center of the South Side's Enchanted Garden predicament and the question of whether it will survive as the community's linchpin. The developer's instigators are closer than one would think, right up to the end.

Fast-paced read with a couple of unnecessary descriptive sex scenes that don't serve the plot. The characters are lovable enough to be used in the second book in the series.

Good Read. https://amzn.to/3TcJK3i

 

BEHAVE, The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst

BEHAVE

THE BIOLOGY OF HUMANS

AT OUR BEST AND WORST

 

ROBERT M. SAPOLSKY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Mr. Sapolsky examines how humans behave because of their physical wiring, starting with the brain. As the parts of the brain develop, the propensity towards good or evil evolves.

His thesis is extensive; it requires patience to read and an inquisitive mind. Have a dictionary available unless you have a medical vocabulary.

Otherwise, his stories move along interestingly and will keep the reader engaged. It is detailed and, at times, boring.

However, you will learn many things about yourself by reading this book, as I did. Take your time reading this exceptionally well-written book on physiology, philosophy, and the psychology of human development.
