Review of WICKED GAMES

WICKED GAMES

T.K. LEIGH

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

If you like reading a long Romance novel (424 pages), this is for you. Chloe and Lincoln have a long up-and-down relationship that lasts a few months, but the events are on the same cycle.

They have sex, one or the other has a conflict, then they have sex, more conflicts, and this goes through until there are no more conflicts. This complete story is frustrating with familiar twists and turns, and everything is "Forbidden" except the wicked sex. 

The first and most crucial problem is who Lincoln Moore is and why is he is fascinated with Chloe sexually. She is a loser according to her family, and he is prominent. 

The above is the root of their problems. How they make it to the story's ending is like going through a minefield without the proper equipment.

The story begins in Las Vegas and ends there. And remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but not in Chloe and Lincoln's case.

Oh, this is a well-written story expected of a USA Today Bestselling Author. But it was too long for my consumption. So instead, I flipped through a number of the sex scenes.

Review of KICK YOUR FAT in the NUTS

 



KICK YOUR FAT in the NUTS

 

T.C HALE

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

T. C. Hale takes a boring subject and gives it a little comic relief to keep the reader's attention. Unfortunately, the subject is still dull and complicated, but a person who wants to be healthy should read this Kindle free book.

I agree with him on a few ideas. One: stay away from processed foods and cook your meals when possible. I have been doing this most of my adult life. Two: Work out as best you can. A gym is not needed.

My mother, wife, or maid cooked when we had one for the rest of it. So, life has been good to me. I walk and play golf. You?

If life hasn't been that good, and you stop off at McDonald's four times a week plus others, I recommend the insights in this book. A meal of proper unprocessed food will go a long way to keeping your body healthy. And, a walk a day may keep the doctor away.

T.C. has put this well-written subject into a package some may like - a security blanket. However, if you don't need a blanket, the read will help you know what not to do when eating.

Review of WITCH WAY TO MURDER & MAYHEM



WITCH WAY TO

MURDER & MAYHEM

 

JANE HINCHEY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Harper Jones has lost her witches' license and has to return to her hometown to live with her Gran. By circumstances, she buys The Dusty Attic Bookstore, which has a dead body on the first day.

This murder starts the mayhem that includes shifters, ghosts, and other paranormal events. A gorgeous detective investigates the crime while at the same time, Harper sleuths her way into events surrounding it. 

They collide, then come together, discovering an intriguing plot that festered years ago by one of the local shifters. The ending is a surprise to them and even the reader of this fun book.

'WITCH WAY' is book one in a series that hooks the reader with all the correct elements: good writing, well-defined characters, and a colorful open-ended backdrop.

Review of THE GENIE ACADEMY



THE GENIE ACADEMY

 

KARIN DE HAVIN

 

Review by Roy Murry

 

An interesting concept put into a novel - a genie college? Edmund's family wants him to be a lawyer.

Their big mistake was hiring a Jin as a tutor, or does the genie pick the family? Whichever, Edmund is in for a life-changing adventure.

What happens in the academy stays in the academy. Edmund learns this and much more.

This fun book keeps the reader laughing about the trials and errors of a young man going to school. He gets in trouble with the headmaster, falls in love, and is taunted by his Genie/Tudor and classmates.

The novel is well constructed for a first in a series for young adults.

Review of KING OF HEARTS



KING OF HEARTS

 

L. H. Cosway

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

I found this story a little overwhelming depressing. Oliver King's life is the center of this romance. Alexis' story is secondary, but she is the glue that brings the relationship together.

King hires Alexis as his assistant because he finds her beautiful and intelligent. Alexis finds the financial world she has entered, where King is King, but he has his demons that are not on the surface.

Their hearts come together on all levels, except he does not explain his hatred for his father. But, when this conflict comes to a head in Part I, "Before," King lets another demon take over their lives.

In Part II, "After," Alexis is the rock that a family foundation is built. King is in a dark cycle where only Alexis's love, friends, and music can bring him back to life.

Coming out of the dark is more challenging than going into it. But, with Alexis's love for King, they will survive. The end is delightful.

L. H. Cosway's writing is crisp and deeply consuming, bringing her characters into a web of love and conflicts a reader will enjoy and may cry a bit.

Review of Witchy Reservations


 

WITCHY RESERVATIONS

A Mystic Inn Mystery

 

STEPHANIE DAMORE

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

Angelica, who works in a big city hotel, has a witchy background. Her aunt tricks her back to her roots at Mystic Inn in a town full of witches.

When Angie arrives home, life is not what she expected. Aunt Thelma is alive; the Inn is in disarray; within a few days, her aunt kills by using a wand, or does she?

Yes, this storyline is funny but severe to the witches involved. Auntie is arrested, and Angie becomes a witchy sleuth. She turns the town upside down, upsetting many witches with a hilarious twist.

This first book, in a series, has all the ingredients - characters, location, and wide-open areas to develop new mysteries.

Therefore, I recommend buying this series if you like fun with witches.

Review of Pinch of Commitment




Pinch of Commitment

 

JEAN ORAM

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This Ethan and Lily novel is a typical boy next door best friend story of them growing up. Each character has hard luck becoming an adult story to tell within the main one. Finally, they come together as adults into a contract.

To save headaches and money, they marry. Lily gets Ethan's restaurants, Ethan gets to do what he wants in high tech. Both their pasts collide and haunt them in a tangled web of love and greed.

This book stands alone if you have read the first in the series. Well-written, the story seems to make sense but is highly unlikely generally in our society today.

A little bit of romance goes a long way as a deceiver in Ms. Oram's series.
