Lori
Apocalyptic story about a family who are the run for their lives. From what, no one seems to know for sure. Some people are affected, some aren't, but Jack will do whatever it takes to save his family.
I enjoyed this story for the most part, the ending just seemed hurried and rushed.
Love & Seduction J A Owenby
Grabs you from the beginning into this steamy, captivating forbidden love story. Which can be read as a stand-a-lone or as part of the Love & Corruption series (highly recommend). But it works on its own.
Claire who is recovering from a crazy and traumatic last year comes to live with Sutton and her husband Pierce for added protection. While there she is told the bodyguards are off limits. Including, Vaughn, who Claire still has feelings for since they first met.
Vaughn comes to Claire's rescue and then thru unforeseen circumstances they end up spending a lot of time alone. Feeling can only be denied for so long.
This story will keep you on the edge of your seat, with the ups and downs and all the drama that unfolds. Owenby weaves a story that builds and keeps you wanting more, with twist and turns, romance and friendship.
This is definitely going on my reread pile. Five star read all the way. Ready for the next one.
4 kids go into the wood, only 3 return, while looking for childhood myth The Bone Keeper.
Now, a woman is found badly injured in Liverpool, who says she was held captive by the TBK.
Will definitely read more from this author again.
Gripping, thought provoking, sad. Two sisters, Martha trying to balance motherhood and a career. Becky does what any loving sister would do steps in to babysit. Only, Layla is not an easy baby, and then when tragedy strikes and Becky is charged with murder of Layla.
The author does a great job of balancing the courtroom and family drama. Will definitely read from this author again.
Love & Deception by J. A. Owenby

In this 2nd part of the trilogy, you find out even more of the terrible things that Gemma has had to endure, and just what lengths her friends will go thru to help her.

***** 5 stars emotional, heart pounding, edge of your seat, mind blowing, can't read fast enough. I read this all the way thru, then had to go back and read again it was that good. I cried , I laughed, then cried some more. I love Tensley, she is one tough young lady, Owenby writes characters that you can't help but cheer for.

I really enjoyed this book. Podcaster Trinity Scott, telling the story of Leena Rai. A young girl who was going murdered by Clayton Jay Pelley. Who later confessed to her murder. But, can Trinity uncover all the secrets the lead to the confession? And what happens when secrets that have been kept for over 2 decades are brought out in the open?
Contains spoilers......
I am blown away by Nesta's story. The pain she went thru and how she healed from it was an amazing thing to read. Her relationship with Cassian was just beautiful. He is the perfect mate for her.
The way she became friends with Gwyn and Emerie, when they we all broken in their own ways and true friendships were built from that.
Rebuilding her relationship with her sisters, I don't think my heart could take much more.
I loved everything about this book.
I loved seeing more of Cassian's story.
I didn't want it to end, I wanted more. I read it so slow so it wouldn't end and it still ended to soon.
I know I will be reading this series again soon.
Love & Ruin by J.A. Owenby. She has done it again. This book grabbed me from the beginning. Owenby makes you feel like you are there. Gemma a small town girl, heads off to college to escape her painful past, with the help of her best friend Ada Lynn. There she meets her roommate, Mac, who is loud,hyper and is ok with the fact that Gemma hides herself behind hats and glasses. Then there is Hendrix, handsome, a singer, and totally falls for Gemma. But, has heartbreak in his past as well. Will Gemma let him tear down the walls she has built up to protect herself? Is Hendrix too good to be true?
JD Barker have quickly became a goto author. I get his books without even reading the descriptions now.
This one is about talk show host Jordan, who is given a choice with deadly consequences. Full of twists and turns will keep you on your toes. Great read.
Not one of my favorites that I have read. Lily who lives in an apartment building has taken up watching her neighbors. And when something happens to one of them she tries to figure out what or who caused her death. And by doing so puts herself in danger.
I enjoyed this book, but not one of my favorites of the series. Features some of Kate's backstory, where she meets her friend Gina and how she decided to join the police academy and become a police officer. Gina befriended Kate and they became roommates during their rookie years, early on Gina made some choices that Kate did not agree with so Kate left and found her way back home to Painter's Mill where she eventually became Police Chief. Years later after more bad choices Gina finds herself on the run and in need of the help of her old friend Kate. While, it isn't one of my favorites, I did enjoy reading the backstory and loved Adam's character.
This is the second book I have read by this author. While I did not enjoy this one as well as “The Kind Worth Killing “. It was still an enjoyable read. Kate and Corbin are cousins and they decide to swap apartment for 6 mos. Soo. After Kate arrives at her new apartment she discovers that a murder has occurred in her new apartment building. Evidence points toward Corbin. But is someone setting him up?
Listened to on audio, trying to track down a serial killer who has killed to women dousing them with gasoline. It reminds Ann of someone from her past.
Was an enjoyable read.
Beautifully Damaged
J A Owenby
5 HOT STARS!!!!!
Once again I am blown away by Owenby's storytelling. This is the story of River and Holden who come from opposite worlds but find their way to each other.
Holden is determined to make River feel safe after the trauma she has faced in her past.
The steam is turned all the way up in this one. 5 stars for the steam alone. And the patience and care the Holden takes with River.
This one definitely leaves you wanting more.
Love & Retaliation J A Owenby
5 STARS!!!!
Heart-wrenching. Dark. Intense.
Owenby doesn't disappoint. She has fast became one of my favorite, auto-read authors.
Love & Retaliation is a dark romance. That shows just how far we go for love. What limits we will break, and when we get that person back again just how much harder we will fight for their soul.
The 2nd in a 2 part series.
The Essence of You by J A Owenby
***** 5 stars emotional, heart pounding, edge of your seat, mind blowing, couldn't read fast enough. I read this all the way thru in one sitting, then had to go back and read again it was that good. I cried , I laughed, then cried some more. I love Tensley, Owenby writes characters that you can't help but cheer for.
5 Heart racing stars!!
Told from Holden's POV. Once the action starts it doesn't let up. You feel everything the characters do. The author does a great job of bringing you into the story.
It's powerful, gritty, heart wrenching. Really shows what family is.
Can't wait to see who this is wrapped up in book 3.
Love & Redemption J A Owenby....book 3 of the trilogy. Man what a ride!!! I couldn't read this book fast enough, but at the same time did not want it to end. Gemma & Hendrix have been thru a lot together. Just when you think that Owenby has tossed them more than they can handle, you just wait. Book 3 is so intense and full of twists. I read thru tears and holding my breath to find out what was going to happen next. Gemma really grew into one amazing young lady. Owenby just keeps getting better. Definitely needs to be on everyone's must read list.
Listen to the audio version of this book did not realize this was book four in the series. (Chirp)
Although, I was able to follow the story, now that I know it's book 4, that explains the fact that if felt like it started in the middle. Lol.
Cassie, female officer who is after a truck driver known as the Lizard King, turned serial killer. Who has now kidnapped to local teenagers who took off on a raft on an adventure. He holds them hostage with dog collars he engineers into shock-explosive collars.
I enjoyed listening to the story it held my attention but I don't know if I could have listened to all four books or read them.
