REVIEW: My Tether by Beth D Carter

Title: My Tether

Those Who survived 3 - stand alone

Author: Beth D Carter

Genre: Romance, Erotic, Dystopian

TBR Reveiwer: Bella

Rating: 5 Stars - A Must Read!

Heat: 3/5 - Blush Worthy!

Sam is in a dark place. Betrayed by his club who murdered his sister. Stuck in jail without revenge and now a pandemic is running rampant in the world. That is his one chance to escape but is it for revenge or a second chance at some kind of life? Neriah finds out that her mother is dying, her father is not who she thought and then she stumbled into Sam taking his revenge. The world has gone to hell, could anybody really have a happy ending?

From paragraph one, I WAS HOOKED. The author did a fantastic job luring me in with the anger of Sam’s past and his need for revenge. I like how the virus was mentioned but it wasn’t the main focus. Neriah was lost and lonely. She survived but at great cost to her. I loved how they met. It makes for an action packed, edge of your seat scene. Their chemistry jumps off the pages, even though they have different views on things like revenge and religion. The survivors must learn to work with what they have and yet Neriah never thought she’d need love. I absolutely loved this book! There’s great romance, great action and the dystopian world was well described. I want more in this series!

REVIEW: The Holiday Grouch by Beth D. Carter

1/5/2021

Title: The Holiday Grouch

Author: Beth D. Carter

Length: 73 pages

Genres: Contemporary romance, Holiday romance

TBR: Fiona

Rating: 4 Stars - Highly Recommended Read!

Heat: 3/5 - Blush Worthy!

Reece Greene had a terribly childhood. His mother left when he was very young, and his father was an alcoholic who never gave him any presents, despite his birthday being on Christmas Day. His dad never said he loved him, but did tell him he was lucky he wasn't being "thrown away," like people do with the unwanted gifts they get for Christmas. Grinch-award for that despicable man! Reece is now a very rich man in his early 50's, who makes his living designing homes for the very rich, who expect their smart-technology to control every aspect of their lives. He's never been married, and in the first chapter gets his ring back from the blonde gold-digger he'd proposed to. Life has been very unkind to this man, so it's no wonder he's such a grouch! Reece's partner convinces him to take some time off--both to forget his unfaithful ex-fiancée, and to scout out a new location for them to build luxury condos. Calliope Whobrey was divorced many years ago when her husband insisted she get plastic surgery to keep her looking younger and thinner. She escaped to lick her wounds to a bed and breakfast on the side of a mountain in Colorado, run by her grandmother, Martha Whobrey. They've made a comfortable living by hosting repeat customers year-after-year, for the different holidays. Christmas is their favorite time.

Of course, Reece and Calliope feel an instant attraction to each other, in this short romance. We get alternating chapters giving each one's point of view. Martha keeps inviting Reece over to enjoy the holiday season with them, and he's the grinch who tries to steal their holiday cheer and good will. Repeatedly. Until his heart starts to grow warmer, and he realizes the error of his ways. In the Dedication, the author says she is trying to write a Hallmark Romance. Since I've never seen one, I don't know if she succeeded but this is a cute love story that brings together two people who shouldn't have anything in common. Reece has a hole where his heart should be until Calliope and her grandmother fill that hole with love. Through them he learns to love himself, and Calliope finds a man who will stay with her because he loves the image of himself he sees reflected in her eyes. Her love makes him feel lovable, and she's the first and only person who has ever done that for him. He's a grouch no more!

REVIEW: Not Such an Innocent Angel by Beth D. Carter

Title: Not Such an Innocent Angel

Author: Beth D. Carter

Genre: Paranormal, Romance, Menage, Erotica

TBR Reviewer: Bella

Rating: 5 Stars - A Must Read!

Heat: 4/5 - Smoking Hot!

Eden works at a hospital and she knows a lot about the paranormal world around them. Jacob is brought in, dying. He’s been cursed and there’s nothing that could save him. Or is there? She enlists the help of a powerful vampire, Gideon to save this man’s life, for a price…

This is such an interesting world. As soon as I read the blurb I was hooked. Vampires. Curses. It sounds like the start to a fantastic paranormal series! I liked Gideon and Jacob. They were each their own strong personalities that worked wonders on the page. Eden was a little demure for me, but she was still a great character. I had a wonderful time figuring the world out, the mystery of why Jacob was cursed. Honestly, I hope the author makes this into a series. Not such an innocent angel was a fun and sexy paranormal read!

Heat: 4/5 - Smoking Hot

Dicen’s dream life has turned dark. He’s all about sex, alcohol and losing control. A handful of pills lead him not to getting high but to the past? He must be dreaming! But the beautiful woman that takes him in seems very real and he’s slowly falling for her.

This was silly and freaking fantastic. A rocker, Dicen is sent back in time, or is he? The descriptions of that time frame were lovely. I really felt like I was in that era. When he meets Juliet, she helps guide him through this foreign world. As time passes, they develop feelings for each other. I really loved their romance. It was a sweet, slow sizzle that really got the heat going. When he returns to the present day, he finds a spitting image of Juliet. Now a whole new dance begins and Dicen is determined not to screw this up. Dreamland is predictable and silly and I loved it! You should totally be reading this romance.

Danger awaits their every move. The action is balanced really well with the romance. I flew through this book because I couldn’t stop reading!

Length: 610 pages

Rating: 4 Stars - Highly Recommended Read!

Heat: 4/5 - Smoking Hot!

Dark, dirty, dangerous ... lawless.

This is a twelve story anthology about all the sexy lawless couples you could possibly dream of. The one thing they all have in common is a lot danger and a lot of sexiness. These would be great to read before some alone time with your other half or with them!

The King of South Side by Loralynne Summers
Gentleman Jackson by Nicola Cameron
Hungry Eyes (The Covenant) by Gwendolyn Casey
Vandal by Amber Morgan
Given to a Killer by Sam Crescent
Angel Mine by Maia Dylan
Kiss of Death (Dark Heart) by Sandra Bunino
Hitman's Seduction by Olivia Starke
Hitman's Angel by Elyzabeth M. VaLey
Eli Logan's Return by Lila Shaw
Trust by Kait Gamble
The Last DiLuca by Beth D. Carter

I can only say I had hard time picking just one story as my favorite. They each are perfect for romantic suspense readers such as myself. If I had to pick just one…damn I can’t! It’d be a three-way tie between Angel Mine by Maia Dylan, Kiss of Death by Sandra Bunino and Hitman’s Angel by Elyzabeth VaLey. They had the best stories that really packed a punch in such a short span. I wasn’t so crazy about the MC stories. Maybe because lately they all seem to have the same plot? One thing all the stories did deliver on was the sexy factor! Yummy!

If you’re looking to get a glimpse into some sexy stories but not commit to anything too long, Lawless should already be on your tbr list!

If you love shifters and the search for their mates then you have to read Owned by the Alpha. It’s the newest anthology from Evernight Publishing and it’s amazing! Seriously, I couldn’t even begin to tell you which story is my favorite because all of them are tied for first.

REVIEW: Boots, Chaps and Cowboy Hats Anthology

5/3/2016

Title: Boots, Chaps, and Cowboy Hats

Author: Alysha Ellis, BA Tortuga, Nan Comargue, Wendi Zwaduk, Molly Ann Wishlade, Beth Carter

Length: Novel

Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Western

TBR Reviewer: Amy

Rating: 3 Stars - A Good Read!

Heat: 3/5 - Blush Worthy

In this anthology you get six different stories by six authors. Each story is most definitely packed with steamy scenes with a lot of cowboy goodness. Since the stories are so short there isn’t much more to them. They did a good job with describing and characterizing, especially the cowboys! I just wish there's more story and less sex. My favorite story is Tied and Taken by BA Tortuga. The mystery of these two and how they are brought together again by sheer luck is great!

REVIEW: When Dove Cries by Beth D. Carter

5/18/2015

Title : When Dove Cries by Beth. D. Carter

Series: Red Wolves Motorcycle club

Genre: Contemporary, Romance

Length: 163 pages

TBR Reviewer: Shyla

Rating: 5 Stars - A Must Read

Heat: 4/5 - Smoking Hot

When Dove Cries was a fantastic blend of suspense, romance, and sensuality. I loved the unique details Ms. Carter added to the book. The characters were unforgettable, and the story was fast paced, and had plot twists I did not see coming. I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it. Dove was captured, tortured, and abandoned by a mad man who broke girls and traded them into a sex ring. Trapped in a hole, with her wrists bound, water from the cracks in the wall to drink, and a massive jar of peanut butter, she’s terrified by the threats of harm if she attempts to leave the cave he’s placed her in. When the food runs out and the captor goes awol, she takes a chance at escape, and lands at the feet of two very powerful men, Draven, and Cade.

Dove is sensitive, and tough at the same time. It’s a combination that made it impossible not to love her. Raised by a father who was a lifer in the service she’s learned to take care of herself and stay strong. But, she’s also been incredibly sheltered. It adds a good bit of complexity, which I love in a heroine.The men she falls for are equally layered. John Draven, may be the Vice President of a motorcycle club, but he’s got a soft spot for women and a sense of justice that overshadowed his rough lifestyle. The minute Dove latches onto his hand after her ordeal and begs him not to leave her, his commitment begins. He cares for her with a sweet ferocity that made my lady parts quiver. Is there anything sexier than a man who helps a woman heal, respects her boundaries, and doesn’t ask for more until she’s ready? Cade is an honorable man trapped by his duty. An undercover FBI agent in bed with the Red Wolves M.C. to bring down a ring of flesh peddlers, he walks a very careful line. Unable to share the truth about a situation Draven despises him for he struggles to keep their relationship functional, not only for his case, but for the sake of the vulnerable woman they’ve both laid claim to.

I loved the different aspects going on in this story. The mystery kept me guessing, and the pace was perfect. Each scene moved the story further ahead, and laid a new breadcrumb. In the end, the best part about the twist was the realization. Ms. Carter left hints about what was to come. I’d like to go into more detail, but I don’t want to ruin the mystery. Who could resist one alpha male with a soft spot for his woman, let alone two? Not this girl.

REVIEW: True North by Beth D. Carter

5/8/2015

Title: True North by Beth D. Carter

Series. Red Wolves Motorcycle Club

Genre: Romantic Suspense, Contemporary

Length: 173 pages

TBR Reviewer: Shyla

Rating: 5 Stars - A Must Read

Heat: 4/5 - Smoking Hot

Allison Evening is a woman caught up in a dangerous game of hide and seek with a maniac masquerading as the law. She ran from her hometown, only to be attacked by a creepy stalker and nearly killed. Now that’s’ what you call a strong woman. More than anything else. Allis was a survivor, and I admired that hell out of her for that. She also had the capacity to care when her past told her she shouldn’t. I think we’ve all been hurt soul deep. The first instinct is to shut down, but Allis was willing to take a chance with the men who saved her, North, and Givon.

We’re given two equally delicious males in this story. North is the President of the Red Wolves M.C. Raised in a violent household; he doesn’t take the abuse of woman lightly, or back down when things are wrong. He’s a contradiction in many ways. Hard when he needs to be, but gentle in a way you wouldn’t expect him to be capable of. The way he handled the wounded Allis had me adding him to my list of book boyfriends. Once he vows to protect Allis and the sparks start up his course is set.

Givon is an officer and best friend to North. Yeah, it sounds off, the cop and the Outlaw biker, but the things they endured in their past have bonded them for life. It’s that special connection that allows them to enter into a three-way relationship with Allis. I loved the way their past was a constant threat that linked them throughout the entire book. Strong, noble, and easy going, he balances out the trip. North has a tendency to be hot-headed, but Givon always breaks through and gets him to take a step back. I enjoyed his honesty, frankness, and intelligence.

It was the way the three characters worked together that made this so special. It was a puzzle with pieces that linked together into a perfect fit. It takes strong men to love a woman who's been hurt this badly. They have to make her feel safe and be patient as she recovers from her ordeal mentally and physically. That process made this romance story satisfying. They took the time to get to know her, reassure her, and fall for who she was at her core. Their progression felt natural and right.

I also like the way they brought the characters from the first book back into the picture, without taking away from Givon, North, and Allis. The villains were utterly despicable, and well thought out. They had an entire backstory, history and proved to be a real challenge. It made the story fuller and intriguing. I think an epic battle is only as good as your enemy. Ms. Carter delivered in spades on that one.

This is a book you won't want to put down until it's finished, and let me say, you may find yourself stunned at it's conclusion.
