2023 Challenges and New... #RomanceTours #spotlights #booktours


Hello everyone and Happy Middle of the New Year 2023!

The end of 2022 went awry for me and my usual  end of year stuff and beginning of new year stuff went with it. I am just not getting back to blogging and catching up with all that is for 2023.

So, what is that you say? 

Well, I did not complete the majority of the book challenges I set out to do. I did finish the Goodreads challenge and I feel good about that. At this moment, I have not signed up for any book challenges including the Goodreads but I will. I am just not sure that I will push to do more than a couple of them. I will let you know in a future blog.

I have however, already begun signing up for new blitz, spotlights, and reviews. I simply love reading and need to get on with this year. I have a ton of reviews coming your way soon. I hope you enjoy them and of course purchase the books from the authors that work so hard to give us readers a bit of pleasure.

NEW THIS YEAR:

I will be creating and posting to a new sister blog. This blog will be strictly for romance (novels and historical romance etc). As you know, I never posted this genre before but want to do so for 2023. I can change my mind...right?  These will be spotlights only.

***Having said that, AUTHORS if you would like to do a spotlight tour for your romance novel, let me know. You can email me at nailamoon1968 at gmail dot com. I will be accepting now for tours in February.

ALSO:If any other genre would like a SPOTLIGHT TOUR or REVIEW (reviews are free) on this blog, email at above as well. I pretty much read anything. Just email me and we can talk.

For now, that is it.

Happy reading!

#Review: The Mistletoe Inn by Richard Paul Evans #Christmas #romancenovels



Summary:
At thirty-two Kimberly Rossi, a finance officer at a Lexus car dealership, has had her heart broken more times than she wants to remember. With two failed engagements, a divorce and again alone with no prospects, she hardly seems the type to dream of being a published romance author.

The theme of The Mistletoe Inn is that like literature, relationships must be lived with passion and vulnerability to succeed.

My review:
When I picked up this book I was sure it would be somewhat romantic in nature as that who the writer is. I also figured it to be placed at Christmas. All of this was true. It is also true that the book is essentially about romance writers who write romance books.

I enjoyed that Kimberly, the aspiring romance author,goes to a conference at the Mistletoe Inn which is described as a beautiful place but not much more. A mysterious man by the name of Zeke enters the conference and wins over Kimberly but her hesitations and constant crying made me cringe. Get a grip! It annoyed me such a  whiny character could not see her own strengths.

Most of the book talked about the conference itself and took awhile to get to the romance side of the book, of which Kimberly nearly ruined due to trust issues. Ugh!

Overall, things turned out just right with a few interesting twist and turns.  Little jokes the author writes to himself were also present too. It just took me awhile to get there as the book took awhile to develop.

I still give the book three stars as I did like it. I need to pick up some of the authors previous books to read.

Disclosure: I purchased a copy of this book for my own collections. The views here are 100% my own and may differ from yours. ~MM Hudson aka Naila Moon

Career Soldier Series by Tawdra Kandle #BookBlast #AdultBooks



Kade Braggs grew up wild and free, surfing on a California beach without much ambition until an impulsive decision led him into joining the Army. What started out as a joke turned into a career, and now he's a company commander, leading several platoons of soldiers. Still, Kade does it all on his own terms; he plays as hard as he works, and having a good time is non-negotiable. Until he meets Leah Samson. Leah doesn't have time to play. On her own for as long as she can remember, she's driven, focused and intent on finishing law school at the top of her class. Nothing could distract her from that goal until an unexpected night of passion with a visiting soldier leads to life-changing complications. But while neither Kade nor Leah planned this bump in the road, the unplanned parenthood that threw the two together may be the best thing that ever happened to either of them. That is, if the heat they both feel doesn't sizzle out of control first.

These are the men of the 94th ID.

They fight with honor, they defend their nation and their brothers fiercely, and when they love, they do it with single-minded passion.

All six books are now available exclusively on Amazon, part of Kindle Unlimited!
If you are a KU subscriber, you can read them all for free.

She’s quick to love and open to just about any new adventure . . . but Max might be her biggest challenge yet. When these two clash, expect immediate combustion . . . of the very hottest kind.

He lives to challenge himself, whether it's in physical training or in pushing the safety envelope. But when he meets Delia, he realizes winning her heart might be his most daunting task ever. No matter how hard Delia works to push Shaw away, she can't deny the intense chemistry between them . . . or how much she's growing to actually like him. And for Shaw, the more time he spends with the irresistible Delia, the deeper he falls for her. For the danger ranger and the gun-shy widow, love may be the riskiest--and the sweetest--leap they ever take.

Harper Drummond lives and breathes stress. A chef at an up-and-coming restaurant, she works long, demanding hours, and she doesn’t want or need a relationship. But every now and then, she likes to let off some steam under the covers with a willing partner. The night Jake and Harper hook up is only meant to be a one-time deal. But when they realize they have connections they hadn’t expected--not to mention a chemistry that is downright explosive--they decide that being friends with hot benefits makes perfect sense. After all, it’s only sex, right?

Derek resists Tasha’s help, but it turns out she’s just as stubborn as he is. Her passion and determination give him hope not only for his broken body . . . but also for his heart and his future.
