HELL ON WHEELS by Z.A. Maxfield


When I read the description of the book I knew that I was going to like it, and I did.  It's just that I was expecting it to do something for me, and it did not. Here's why.

 Nash is the reliable one in the family. The one everyone goes to keep things going. Having a genius of a twin brother, an inventor of a father and a wheel-chair bound sister, Nash does not feel special in the family.

 He took it upon himself to run the family's auto-repair business, while his brother is off at university and he looks after his sister, giving his father time to invent. His life seems to be already set for the foreseeable future, no matter how much that makes him feel unfulfilled.

 Spencer Kepler-Constantine is an actor on the show Wolf's Landing.  He is in the middle of a very painful, very public divorce with his husband.  He isn't in any position to start a relationship.

 Nash meets Spencer when he was out on his bike, trying to run free before he has to go back to the responsibilities he faces in his everyday life.  Spencer had some car troubles and Nash offered to help him.  Things get a little steamy in the car (fast, I know).  They both don't want a relationship, but they do need a friend, especially a friend with benefits.

 As they get closer, so does the deadline for filming the show in Nash's home Town. Knowing that the show was coming to an end and that Spencer would be leaving soon, did not stop Nash from wishing for more.  It hurts more since he got to look at his family in a new light.  Now he ask himself if they need him as much as he thought?  Or does he just need to feel needed?

 Spencer's ex came and put the final nail in the coffin when he shows up with a big, romantic gesture, claiming that he wants Spencer back.  Would Spencer go back to his husband?  Would Nash finally let go and live his own life?  Find out the third installment of the Bluewater Bay Series, Hell on Wheels.

 Z.A. Maxfeild wrote a book that promised me something and did not deliver, and that was a good cry.  I just knew by reading the description that there was going to be a part that made me cry buckets and when it came.............nothing.

 I geared myself up for a good cry and I got nothing, no tears. My eyes remained dry, and that was a complete bummer for me.

 Besides the lack of making me cry, the book was really good.  I liked the relationship between Nash's family, but I do not get Spencer's entourage at all.  I did not get much of a description on them, so they are still a mystery to me and their relationship to Spencer.

 The love scene was a problem for me as well, there was no heat.  It was a cold copulation that did nothing for me, but it was enough for Nash and Spencer, I guess.  The story was nice but more on the cool side of romance and nothing spectacular, except maybe, Spencer's ex-husband.
HAPPY READING!

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

WICKED BOND by Sawyer Bennett

Finally, we come to Bridger's story and I must admit, it was not what I was expecting.  Bridger Payne is a walking enigma that no one can quite figure out.  Even his best friend don't know the full story of where Bridger came from. In the Silo, Many want him but not can have him, well not the real him anyway. That's because Bridger lives with so much pain, a pain he has no reason to get rid of since the pain is what makes him survive. If you've read the books from the series you would know Bridger. He helped each and every one of my lovable guys to get their head out their arse and go after their women. You would think that a man that gives such good advice would also take his own preaching, but no such luck. Bridger more believes in happily ever after for everyone other than him. In his mind, he's too f*cked up to be helped and he's learned to accept that, but then Maggie was unexpectedly dumped in his care and Bridger found emotion he's neve...
