They say time waits for no one. It waits for me. A Stop in Time by RC Boldt is now live! I've been an outcast my whole life. If my scars don't scare people away, my attitude certainly will. I don't know what I am or how I got the power to stop time. What I do know is, there are far too many questions I need answers to. When I cross paths with a local gang member, his presence unravels a part of my past I never knew existed. At every turn, danger leaps closer, and I realize that stopping the killer will mean losing everything—including the first man I've ever loved. But I should've known better. We were never meant to be anything more than a brief stop in time. ***5 ‘Mediocre’ Stars*** Well, this baby was anything but mediocre. It was awesome and I freakin’ LOVED it! I was hooked from the start and savored every twist and turn, and believe me when I say things are all kinds of twisty, and loved watching Mac and Danny find the one thing they’d never l...

***5 ‘Today and Tomorrow and Always’ Stars*** This right here is why I’m a full on fan girl of this series. The storyline, the characters, how the author keeps all the various and numerous connections straight while making new ones…all of it kept me turning the pages and had me doing a re-read as soon as I finished because it was just that damn good and I didn’t want to say good-bye. I adored Ivan and Lei. Ivan being a Mercant is already a vote in his favor ~ because who doesn’t love the Mercants? ~ his loyalty to family and need to protect, not only his family but he found a very interesting kinship with was a huge draw. Lei was light, happiness and a sweet sassyness that had me smiling, even when her light was dimmed due to an extreme loss. Their journey to their HEA was a lot of fun to experience. I loved how they first collided and the connection it started between them. And while their second collision was not as joyous, it only strengthened the bond between them and as they got t...

***5 Stars*** While I’m sad that this is the last book of the series, I gotta say, this baby went out big. It pushed all the right buttons for me in every way possible and gave me everything I wanted and more. I adored Krissa and Bowen. Krissa is adventurous, but not impetuous. She is all kinds of sweet and sassy, but has a good head on her shoulders. Bowen is even keel, for the most part, and leans towards doing the right thing, even when his emotions are riding him hard. Their journey to their HEA was a fun, low on the angst one, which I personally liked because of all that was going on with the Larkosian’s ~ that was more than enough drama for me. But while things did happen quickly between, it didn’t feel like anything was rushed. They got to know each other not only through conversations, but actions and they the kind of flow that made them work for me and in the end, I loved how everything worked out for them. As I said at the start, I’m sad that this is the last book in the seri...

  ***5 ‘I’ll Be Unleashing My Darkness Right Alongside Yours’ Stars*** My dark, deviant loving heart is all KINDS of happy and sated. OMG. All. Kinds. Of. Happy Because not only did this appease the darker side of my heart, but it actually hit all the right “romance” buttons for me. Sure, this is definitely not the whole wine, roses and rose colored glasses series ~ and I do not pretend that it is ~ but the elements that make my romance loving heart sing were ALL here and then some. Now, I am unable to get too detailed or specific about all that goes on in the book. Just the way that it is. But I fucking ADORED Diel and Noa. ADORED. Well, I was actually fascinated by Diel at first and then came to adore him. But Noa. Yeah. Noa is kind of everything. She really is. And I honestly loved how everything played out between them. They worked for me from the start. They had this...connection, though I think that word is too simple...more a knowing of who the other was and just went with i...

***5 Stars*** If I thought the previous books in the series were chock full of all kinds of crazy goodness, this one definitely puts those to shame, because boy does the author take us on one hell of a ride.  Not unexpected considering we are all geared up for the showdown with Theodore, but it was the little added extras that made this one epic finale. I have to say that while Tegan and Ethan are the main characters, and ones I really did like throughout out the majority of the series, I also fell in love with the motley crew of characters that made up their family ~ some by blood, some by choice and some by necessity (at least in the beginning). I enjoyed watching them all evolve and become more of who they were meant to be as they all worked together to fight Theodore. When I dove into this series I had no idea that this was actually one that she had published previously and had gone back to and re-branded it, so I cannot say if there were any significant changes made, but I can...
