The Book Bosses----ALL KINDS OF AWESOME!!!

BOOK RATING: 5
PANTY CHANGING RATING: 5

This is book 4 in KA's Colorado Mountain series.  Why am I blogging it out of order?  Because it's ALL KINDS OF AWESOME.  I just finished reading it for what must be the 4th time in a year.

OK.  So in Breathe's "Author's Note",  Kristen Ashley specifically tells you to listen to the following two songs. So LISTEN.  Just do what she tells you.  Kristen Ashley is always right.  Do what the woman says. ("Holding Out For A Hero" by Ella Mae)  and ("Drift Away" by Dobie Grey)

This is NOT A SPOILER.  Trust me.  We HATE spoilers.

Chace Keaton (do u not just LOVE that name?), is a police Detective.  He is a hero.  He is THEE HERO. In every bloody sense of the word. Anyway, the man ROCKS. He's taken his lumps and he has resigned himself to a life of bitter bc he lost his chance at sweet.

Faye is a Total Book Geek!  She perpetually has her nose in a book (sound familiar?  LOL).  She's a hawt librarian (JEALOUS) who loves all things Sci Fi.  Now I had few problemos understanding Faye's Geek Speak.  I mean, I knew it was funny......I just didn't know WHY it was funny.  Cari from Bookclub helps me with this.  Actually, now that I think about it she doesn't actually help me so much as POINT AND LAUGH.  But oh well.  Did you know laughing is the best exercise?  Actually that can't be right or I'd still be a size 6 instead of NOT a size 6.

Ok, so Chace is a HAWT HERO and Faye is a gorgeous librarian. She's other things too, but I'll let you find that out on your own. Faye has forever been in love with Det. Keaton (OMG, how much do I LOVE that name???). But, you know how shit happens? Well, shit happens. A whack of it.

Now, I recommend you read the first 3 books in this series BEFORE u read this.  First and foremost bc Cari et al will hunt me down and hurt me if I tell u to read this first. Cari is the leader of The Book Order Police.

Secondly, u should read the other three books bc THEY ARE TOTALLY AWESOME. Everything KA (that's short for Kristen Ashley. She let's me call her that bc we're friends. I know we're friends bc she always "likes" my comments on her Facebook posts. KA doesn't "like" just ANYONE'S comments ya know.  Well, yeah actually she does "like" everyone's comments. But for those two minutes when I thought I was special......I was the King of the World, people!

Ok, so u need to read EVERYTHING that KA has written.  Because she is the ultimate, original Rock Chick. And her books are totally awesome.

However, were u to pick up Breathe on Amazon and it magically appeared on your Kindle/Kobo/ereading device, BEFORE u read the other 3......well, I won't tell BB or Cari and her Book Order Police.

The Death's Door gang does it again!!

This book does a fantastic job in putting together a few of the strings that were left as teasers in books 1-3. Which I absolutely LOVED!!! it was like opening a bunch of gifts at Christmas when your theories were confirmed or there was a total plot twist you weren't expecting.

The author, Eric Asher,  does an incredible job of bringing it together seamlessly, and again one of my favorite things is that he does not repeat himself in hte sense of retelling you who all the players are. which by book 4 as a reader we are all engaged and know full well who the main and secondary characters are and how they have all become part of what I like to call "The Death's Door Gang"

Now about the character development, I feel that Eric does a phenomenal job at growing the character form book to book making them more intricate and interesting. He slowly an seamlessly  integrates parts of their past into the story line.

Book 4 also leaves you hanging in anticipation of book 5. Makes you NEED to read to know what happens next.

VESSIK ADDICT - yes that is me!!!

Hey your books they rocked! Thank you for taking the time to talk with me about them Travis you have a lot of potential. I could see anyone reading these books and enjoying them, especially if they enjoyed Game of Thrones or Hunger Games. Thanks again man! I'm looking forward to the third installment.

I Love Connie Suttle!!
I am so hooked on her books that I can't put it down.
Reading her wonderful world of magic, Gods, Vamps, Wolves, etc
& mayhem rocks me to my core!
I read all the Series more times than I can count
I just can't put it down. I even have the audio version of
the first 3 Blood Destiny
(Suttle) books. I hope they put all 25 books 26 when First
Ordinance Book 3 comes out.
The connections in all Series read in the following order
really answers a lot of questions:
1. Saa Thalarr
2. Blood Destiny (Suttle)
3. High Demon
4. God Wars
5. First Ordinance
I don't want to spoil the excitement by blurting out
secrets; others have already done that.
I hope you buy these amazing books.
I can absolutely guarantee that you will read them more
than 5 times each! I have already forgotten how many
times I've read each one & I'm not exaggerating !!!!!!!!
That's nothing compared to how many times Ive listened
to Blood Destiny 1-3 in Audible.
PLEASE Connie, MAKE SURE THE DO ALL YOUR BOOKS. I
WILL CERTAINLY BUY THEM :)

PS
After you get these check out her R-D Series - Cloud Dust
& Cloud Invasion. They are AWESOME !!!!!!!!

You will love this awesome box set!. Each story is unique with awesome characters.
"The Untamed Lord of Thessaly" by Rachael Slate- You have a spunky and sultry Nymph who tries to compel a Centaur who wants her heart, soul and body. She soon finds out she has her hands full with this Centaur lol. When you have a love worth fighting for nothing else matters!. This story is funny, exciting, suspenseful, and steamy hot you will love it!.
" Vampire, The Witch , and the Werewolf " by Louisa Bacio- You will love this story of a twin she-wolf and two sexy Alpha Werewolves. Do to a prophecy they must all three work together. Which is hard when you have two guys who are Alphas, and do not like to share!. Their journey is going to be dangerous and scorching hot hot!. This story is exciting right from the start!. You will love it!.
These are just two examples of the amazing stories found in this incredible five star plus box set!.

I usually have a hard time keeping up with so many characters in a book and it drives me crazy but there's something about how Charles Sheehan-Miles writes that makes everything flow wonderfully.  I've read from Julie's Song to GoR and I got to say, all of the books have been a great read.  I'm not big on all the politics but regardless GoR is soooo worth reading.  The POW's of all the characters gives so much depth to the story.  Can't wait for book 3 in Rachel's Peril, although I'm not too sure about "peril" in the title...we'll see what CSM has in store for us :)  Looking forward to it!

WHAT. EVEN. WAS. THIS. BOOK????

I am taken aback by how much I loved it. During this Gallagher Girls binge reading I have been updating some of my friends in group texts and I didn't have any time to update them during this book, because I was too busy crying over EVERYTHING.

The friendships, plot, characters, family dynamics--everything gets bigger and better and I JUST COULDN'T GET ENOUGH. It was amazing and I am very eager to get to the final book.

I did guess some things beforehand though [i.e. that the necklace was the key, that this song was maybe used for a hypnosis (especially after Catherine started humming it in the caves); I had guessed earlier in book 2 that Dr. Steve was the bad guy and lmao he truly showed his colours in this book. I MEAN??? NO ONE WHO LETS AND WANTS THEMSELVES TO BE CALLED DR. STEVE CAN BE DECENT, RIGHT? Also, I guessed about Preston's dad, because it was just to "convenient"] but idk all of these things didn't take away from the book, it was actually hella lot fun to get confirmation about some of my theories.

One more thing: WHY HAVEN'T THESE BOOKS BEEN MADE INTO MOVIES YET??????

What a great buy this author's books are. Very well written, fascinating subjects and places, strong characters, and story lines that come together so well......  A great combination of mystery, action-adventure and some paranormal type subjects make the books irresistible. And the overall quality of the writing is world class. The Egyptian is a super follow-up to The Summoner. Looking forward to the next one!

I absolutely looooooooved this book!!!! The author (one of my new favorites!) refreshes your memory on the events of the first book (which I also loved) and picks up right where the first one left off.  The gangs all back and the story gets really interesting!  I love the dynamic between the entire group....the history they share.....the secrets!!.  I highly recommend this read! It's a fun and easy read and a really great story!

I love this book it keeps you on your toes and wanting more...The book evolves into so many things and takes a turn you wouldnt even believe. When I was done reading the first book I ordered the next one and couldn't wait for it to arrive, before I was done with the second book I ordered the third book. Then I realized that I had a kindle (totally forgot) and immediately ordered the kindle version of the last books...I felt like I knew the characters in the book and WISH the author would come out with a sequel or a movie to the books!!! I hated that the book stoped I wish she had 10 series, lbvvs! I really wish there could be more because I want to know more about how their lives continued....Joy Deja King please come back out with more Mafia princess!!! with same people, lol

I received this book for an honest review.  And then I bought it b/c I wanted that AWESOME cover art!!

I have to start by saying this is my first review and Ms Buroker sent me the book because I begged. I begged because I have greatly enjoyed everything she has written. Plots are tight, characters are interesting, and emotions get involved.  I can't wait to see how it all turns out and how they get out of the tight spots the characters find themselves in.

This is definitely a stand alone book but if this is your first LB book I would suggest you go back and read the Swords & Salt Collection. This is where we first meet the main characters of Yanko, Dak, and Lakeo as well as a constellation of others. Akstyr, from Emperor's Edge series, even makes a brief appearance. Which brings me to another suggestion: if you really want to get into this world (and it's worth it) start with the Emperor's Edge Series.

In this story Yanko is a young man, fleeing tragedy and on a "Mission" from his friend Prince Zarabo. Yanko is the titled Warrior Mage but his mad skilz as a warrior are a little unconventional; not much appreciated by him or the society he comes from. Dak is the mysterious Turgonian (historical enemies of Yanko's people) who is friend, tormentor, and bodyguard among other things. Lakeo is their companion and another bodyguard. She is also a Mage but very much in process. Their repartee is some of the best parts of the book.

There are lots of questions in this story to accompany the action which is non-stop. Who is attacking? Who is a friend? Who is an enemy? What are Dak's motives? Is what they are seeking even real? The book ends on a bit of a cliff hanger so let's hope the next book comes soon!!!

All in all a very satisfying read and a very nice cover.  Worth the wait!!!  Come on, LB, get the next one done!!!!

I have absolutely loved every book in this Mafia Series!  If you like Book #1, you will love this book, I know I did.  After the first book I was hooked, and bought the entire series, and have enjoyed them so much!!!  You really need to read these books! I pull out these books every minute I get a break at work or at home.  Once you start this book they are so hard to put down.

I read alot...I mean, twelve to sixteen a day or so. I read from the time I wake till I go to sleep. I've had six knee operations to include total replacement, and so I'm home bound. read as I cook, as I bathe, as I do most everything each day. I even read in the car as I'm driven to go out to eat or shop for food.saying this, I can explain I have read over 900 books, some sets are 1200 pages or so each, for 6-13books per set lol or I would've read more, in the last four years. I search for books from sets that caught me up, like the wheel of time or Shannara books, or all the Dragonlance and forgotten realms books, even ravenloft, Clive barker,  Stephen king, john Saul, piers anthony, koontz, etc, I also must look for bargain books or i'd bankrupt my hubby. this is among the most exceptional books I have ever read!!!! I bought all three, so I expect to be up for at least another 30 hours to finish the set!!! I started this today at about 2 and just finished, I won't sleep till I read them all!!!!!!!!!!!

If your passion is reading a good book from cover to cover, then I recommend this book to read.  As I started to read "Mister Black", I couldn't put down my Kindle Paper White!  Now at this moment, waiting patiently for Book 2 to be released is going to be very challenging!!!  That's how incredibly AWESOME the storyline about Sebastian and Talia is. I love it and so will you!!!!

I'm what you'd call "A Boss", and when I first saw this title, I got a little nervous! I don't think I'm that bad a guy, but hey, I'm the boss, and that alone makes us the enemy! So I bought a copy of "Off The Boss" just to see how one does off a boss, and to my surprise was blown away by how great this book is! It's not a "do away with your boss" book at all. On the contrary, it tells employees how to cope with a boss, who may not have the best "bedside manner" or "people skills", and not let them get to you. Even though this book is for the employee, I think a whole lot of bosses should read this just to see what they can do to make their workplace more, well, workable. So many things we don't realize. And best of all, in a not so subtle way (it's not very flattering to bosses!), it does sort of say: "hey, come on, bosses are people too, well, sort of people, kind of, in a technical way at least. But one big point of the book is for employee's not to make us into all powerful monsters who control their lives. It's when you start to think we are pulling their stings causing all their pain, that problems arise. There's great humor in this book, and great graphics, polls, and illustrations. And some amazing stories (the one about the tribe with who make their, ummm, shall we say, "manhood" look bigger than it is made me laugh out loud). But more important, there's some seriously great advice, suggestions, and "eye openers", to help employee's  keep the boss off their back and allow them to do their job, and more important, to have a "life" outside the workplace as well. I've already bought some more copies of this book, which I'm actually giving to some other boss friends of mine, but actually, I think, come Christmas, I'm going to buy copies for all my employee's. Really. I'm serious. A boss giving them this book? How cool is that? And it's a million times cheaper than having some pent up employee finally crack and come at me with a garden tool, or something! This is a wonderful "let the steam out" kind of book. I only wish this book was around when I was younger, and staying up nights fretting over my horrible boss!
