(Northwoods Fairy Tales, #1) 

Publication date: July 24th 2017

Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance

Quinn Reynolds is desperate for answers. After a near fatal accident, Quinn’s life changes and she is suddenly plagued by dreams of ravens, magic, and a boy with copper-ringed eyes. Told by her doctors that she is delusional, Quinn travels to the Northwoods of Minnesota to find out the truth. But Quinn has another problem that she hasn’t shared. Not only does she dream of magic, she also possesses her own power as well.

Corbin Olsen has been battling his own demons for the last ten years. After sacrificing everything to save Quinn’s life, she forgot about him completely. He’s thought of her constantly in the years she’s been gone, but nothing prepared him for the woman she has become. Although angry at her for leaving him, Corbin isn’t able to dismiss his need for her.

But Corbin and Quinn are running out of time for a meaningful reunion, the real evil is back and hunting the prey that escaped them all those years ago.

Magic plus love equals Northwoods Magic. An accident changed Quinn's life and left her with more questions than answers. Dreams plague her, but she doesn't understand them. Corbin saved Quinn and then she disappeared, but he never forgot about her. Now she is back and finds out the truth. Will they be able to battle the evil out to get her together? Read to find out.

I give this book 3.5 stars. I felt like there were parts that were lacking and dragged. Plus I think the characters could have had more depth. Overall, it wasn't bad, but I do think it could have been so much more. The story was good though and I'm intrigued enough to read book two.

When Quinn was sixteen, she had a horrific accident. For ten years after, she had nightmares and what could only be described as psychotic breakdowns. Finally desperate for answers, Quinn returns to the scene of the accident and learns that The Green Man and Corbin, her raven turned man, saved her ten years ago from an evil entity.

Now that Quinn is back, can she solve her problems? Can Corbin and the Green Man help her?

I liked the basic premise of this story. It has romance and magic, but I felt that I could have used more of each. This was a nice read, however. It just made me want more of either.

Quinn had an accident when she was little, while visiting Northwoods Minnesota. Its changed her life but not for the better. She has become a shut-in. She finally works up the courage to go back and figure out what happened all those years ago.

Corbin saved Quinn years ago, and felt abandoned when she left. He was caught off guard when she finally did arrive and he tried to keep his distance, still hurt and not understanding why she left.

As Quinn slowly uncovers what she is and what happened, Corbin starts to understand. Slowly they help each other and form an unbreakable bond.

What happens, well you will have to one click to find out.

Book Blitz: Dirty Forever by Cassie Ann L. Miller

Title: Dirty Forever

Series: The Dirty Suburbs Book 8

Author: Cassie-Ann L. Miller

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: September 30, 2017 

People assume that my marriage is over. They’re wrong.

She kicked me out. She changed the locks. She had me served with those damn divorce papers.

But if Grace-Monroe Trotten thinks she’s getting rid of me that easy, she’s mistaken. She doesn’t know the lengths I’d go to for her. I’m not giving up on my wife, on my son, on my marriage.

I’ve changed. And a real man isn’t scared to jump through hoops (wearing ridiculous men’s yoga pants) to prove it.

I may not deserve a second chance but I’m gonna fight like hell to get back in her heart and in her bed.

“Dirty Forever” is the much-anticipated conclusion to the “Dirty Suburbs”, a series of full-length stand-alone romantic comedies about the residents of small town Illinois.

HEA guaranteed. No cliffhangers. No cheating. Promise.

Her pussy spasms around me. Her eyes squeeze shut but I want her looking at me. “Open your eyes,” I whisper, cupping her cheek in my hand. Her lids part and those chestnut irises twinkle at me.

My five senses witness the moment that she explodes. I see the way her face contorts with pleasure. I hear the moans that roll out of her throat. I feel the way her body tenses beneath me. I smell her lust filling the cabin. I lean in and taste her mouth. This is euphoria.

“Daniel...” she moans my name long and low. My orgasm detonates inside of me like a bomb and I shoot my cum into that tight pussy that was made just for me. Grace reaches up and touches my face as I come down from the high.

She rises up with sweat beading on her brow as she looks around. “Don’t tell me we ran out of tissues,” she mutters to herself. 

Still breathless, I pick a random piece of food out of her wavy blonde mane. “Think you’ve got animal cookies in your hair.” I chuckle. 

“Oh, thanks.” She distractedly runs her fingers through her hair as she bends over clumsily, looking under the seat. “Didn’t I have a roll of paper towel back here?” She leans further and goes careening toward the floor. Luckily, I grab her by the waist before her cranium hits the floor.

As I ease up to pull up my pants, my head goes smack into the roof. “Ouch! Shit!”

“You okay?” she giggles as she rubs the top of my skull.

I smile. “Yeh – I’m good.”

“Okay, this’ll have to do,” she says as she grabs a packet of baby wipes from the floor and hands me a few sheets.

I cock an eyebrow at her as she uses a wad of the wipes to clean herself up between the legs. “Seriously?”

She looks at my expression and bursts into laughter. “We are ridiculous!”

I drink in the sound of her laughter, I let the memory of her smile be seared on my brain. I need this memory. I need more moments like this.

She stares at me as I stare at her. Her cheeks pink up. I love how she still has these little moments when she gets shy in front of me. “What?” she questions softly.

The answer to her innocent question bounces into my mind. I love you...I hate swallowing those words back when they're what I really want to say. It's been too long since she heard that declaration fall from my lips.

Cassie-Ann L. Miller writes steamy contemporary romance with a dash of angst and a sprinkle of humor. And if her toddler weren't rebelling against his bedtime right now, she'd have a minute to write her author biography, too ;)
