Release & Review: Wilde Ride

From New York Times bestselling author, Kelly Elliott, comes a new small town, family saga series.

Emeline

Seven years.

That’s how long it’s been since I last came face-to-face with Levi Tucker. He’s my old brother’s best
friend, and the man I’ve loved for as long as I can remember. Now he’s back in River Falls, along
with his young son, Rhett, and suddenly they’re woven into both my personal and professional life.

The last thing I expected was the wild, undeniable pull between Levi and me to turn something
strictly professional into something deeply personal. But Levi’s past is closing in, and this time, I
refuse to walk away. I’m ready to fight for the life and the love I want, because both Levi and Rhett

Tucker are worth the battle.

Levi

Tragedy brings my son, Rhett, and me back to River Falls, Colorado. After losing my daughter in a
devastating car accident and watching my marriage fall apart, returning home feels like my last
chance to start over.

When I’m roped into volunteering at the Wilde Families summer camp for underprivileged kids, the
last person I expect to fall for is my best friend’s younger sister. For the first time, I can see a future
filled with love and happiness for my son and me. Yet when my soon-to-be ex-wife reappears in

River Falls, everything I’ve begun to build is suddenly at risk.

Will the past destroy our second chance, or will true love finally get its happily ever after?

Wilde Ride is book 2 in the Love is a Cowboy series.

Review

This is a second book in the series but can easily be read as a stand alone. Go ahead and read the first book though since you get more back story about this family. This series will follow the Wilde siblings as they find love and HEA's.  Emeline is first up. 

This is a sort of second chances although not really since they never had a first go.  But Emeline has loved Levi since she was a little girl. As her brother's best friend she really felt she never had a chance. Until Levi moves back home with his young son in tow. Both of them are products of their small town. 

But, love knows what it wants. I am so happy that they didn't spend much time with the "we can't, what about my best friend? You are only a little sister to me...." Small amount of that but they got over themselves quick.  I loved Emeline's character so much. Such a strong young women who knows what she wants in life. 

Loved seeing the town people again.  Love the Wilde family to pieces!  Looking forward to another sibling getting their happy ever after!  Great story! 

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Release Blitz & Review: Obsidian Empire

 

Obsidian Empire by Elizabeth Hunter is now live!

The ruler of an immortal empire.

The rising voice of an ancient clan.

The relationship they've hidden from everyone.

Tatyana Vorona was just a bookkeeper until she made a bargain with a powerful vampire that lead to her death and a brand new life of blood and brutality. She tried to run. She tried to hide. But Oleg Sokolov is a man who gets what he wants.

Oleg has the ability to manipulate fire, the power to command an empire, and a will that cannot be broken. But political upheaval and blood loyalties have kept him from publicly claiming the woman who owns his heart.

For five years, they’ve loved in private and played rivals in public. Tatyana has come into her own as a leader of an ancient immortal clan. And Oleg is a breath away from stomping out the brother who betrayed him. If he can play the right pieces in this political game, he might win the ultimate prize— publicly marrying the woman who is already his wife.

The conclusion to an unforgettable vampire fantasy trilogy—OBSIDIAN EMPIRE is packed with heat, heart, and high stakes action. Elizabeth Hunter continues her own empire of stellar romantic fantasy!

Review

This is the final book of this Firebird and the Wolf trilogy and it wraps up the story line nicely. You will have to have read the precious books in order to follow the story. 

This one takes place a few years after the 2nd book. Tatyana and Oleg are very much in love but they are still hiding their relationship and missing each other terribly. 

There is lots of scheming and planning and vampire pomp in this.  It touched a just a bit too political for me but such is the world of the vampire kings. I did love Oleg and Tatyana together.  I love the setting and all the side characters. 

Great way to finish out this story line.  Nice little easter egg hidden in this one for fans of her other work in this world. Grab all 3 and enjoy getting to know the vampires of Russia.

Review

This is the first book by this author in this genre. I love a single parent trope and well as a good MC book. This one leans dark so be sure to read the content warnings. 

Layne witnesses the horrible murder of her husband and then decides to pick up her daughter and move back to the town she grew up in. With no parents to support her, she is at least looking for familiarity. Unfortunately in her mind, her past is tied to the MC. 

Kyler remembers all the things about Layne and is willing to pick right back up. But she needs to trust again and her trouble may have followed her to their small town. 

Great first book in the series.  You get a good sense as to how the MC is run. We don't see too many old ladies but Kyler's mom is a sweetie.  I like that Kyler is patient with Layne's feelings but not with her safety. I like his good friends and his brother. I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series.
