I don't know why this author feels it necessary to write the main female character as so weak and flawed. Don't think I will continue the series. Very disappointing.
Alice, who has just lost her at a large hotel, after being attacked by one of the hotel's affluent guests and being paid off. Meets Taylor, she offers to help Alice. Then the twists keep coming.
I was lucky to get an early release of Echoes Beneath. This is the 2nd book in the series of Lacey's story. She has left Arkansas to start college in Oregon to get away from her Mother and her past. There she makes new friends and meets an perhaps meets a new love? Xander, handsome, quarter-back, comes to her rescue. But, once again Lacey finds herself in a dangerous relationship. I have got to say I love George!! Author J.A. Owenby grips you from the first page and keeps your attention until the last page. She has a way of making you feel like you are in Lacey's shoes. All I can really say is, Just read it. You won't regret it. Now the wait for book 3.
Love & Consequences
We first met Mac in the Love & Ruin series, she is Gemma's hyperactive best friend and college roommate. This is her story. And what a story it is. She goes on tour with Gemma and Hendrix. There she reunites with Cade, who helps her thru her nightmares. Which turns into much more. This is another must read by Owenby. She just keeps getting better. I read it in one sitting, so captivating!!
Love & Revelations
Owenby does a great job of building characters. She makes you feel like they are real people. It was great being back in their world, catching up with their lives. She packs a lot of great reading into a short novella. I don't think anyone would be disappointed. Five stars!!
Love & Corruption
Another five-star. This gripped my from page one. Pierce former bad boy turned bodyguard, is called back to his hometown for personal reasons. There he reconnects with the love.Sutton, that one that got away. She is his next client. Her sister, Claire, has been kidnapped and feared sold into human trafficking. Together they will stop at nothing to bring her back. All while dealing with past issues that once tore them apart. Owenby makes you feel what her characters are feeling, I couldn't read this fast enough. She creates characters you want to know and that you come to care about. Looking forward to what she has in store for us next.
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.

Twisted Truths by Gina Azzi picks up right where Broken Lies leaves off. At the beginning of Twisted Truths Zoe must make some hard decisions. But, instead of facing them with Eli, she tries to face them alone. But, don't count Eli out just yet. Eli and Zoe are great main characters. Don't get me wrong there were times I was mad at both of them for being so stubborn. You will definitely need the tissues for this one. This book is also filled with some great side characters. This duet will not be the last I read by this great author.
Love & Sins
5 stars!!!!!!
I am blown away once again how Owenby takes us into the minds of the characters in her books.
In Love & Sins, we see life thru Hendrix's eyes before he met Gemma (in the Love &Ruin series) it answers so many questions about what makes Hendrix the man he is. The choices he makes the friendships he has.
I loved being in this world and reading his POV. Can't wait for more!!
She is a go to author!!
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?
Love & Deception by J. A. Owenby
In the continuing story of Gemma. Owenby has a way of telling a story that makes you, the reader feel what the characters are going thru. 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. Owenby sheds light on an ugly subject without glamorizing it. You need to read these books, you may cry, ok you will cry. But, read them, people need to know that these things go on in our world.
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.

Her boyfriend has gotten into debt, so to get him out of debt she answers and ad. She ends up having to sleep with the highest bidder, and that will get them out of debt. The smut was decent, the boyfriend was a piece of crap, she should have just left him.
Adam is the leader of a vigilante group called the Soldiers of Anarchy. While at a party one night he sees Olivia, he is determined to make her his.
The author does a great job of keeping the reader hooked, this is the first book I have read from this author but will not be the last.
Fast paced, sexual tension, heart breaking. Loved this! Gina takes the reader on a emotional journey with Eli and Zoe. Can't wait till the next book comes out to see what happens. What a cliffhanger! What a ride!!
I just finished The Truth She Knew. It's the story of Lacey and her mother who has a mental illness. She abusive towards Lacey. Mama tells Lacey she is filled with demons and Lacey believes, because this has become her truth. Everything changes when she meets Walker. J.A. Owen by tells the story of Lacey in a way that makes you feel like you a right there with her. I cried through the book. I could not believe some of the things mama done or said to Lacey. And the sister was just as bad. Like other reviewers have said I almost threw my kindle against the wall at the end when Walker done what he did.
I can't wait to read book two in the series.
A Gathering of Secrets is the latest in the Kate Burkholder series. It opens with a burning barn that kills a young Amish man, that most thought highly of. Turns out he had dark secrets. This latest installment moves along at a fast pace and keeps your attention. I have read all the books in the series and have enjoyed them all. This one does not disappoint.
Love & Consequences J A Owenby. We first met Mac in the Love & Ruin series, she is Gemma's hyperactive best friend and college roommate. This is her story. And what a story it is. She goes on tour with Gemma and Hendrix. There she reunites with Cade, who helps her thru her nightmares. Which turns into much more. This is another must read by Owenby. She just keeps getting better. I read it in one sitting, so captivating!!
My Hurricane by J A Owenby is the story of Walker. It puts you right in his shoes, see the overwhelming circumstances he faces in the months leading up to meeting Lacey. Owenby writes from the male point of view very well. It's a very quick read but gives great insight to the reasons why Walker is. You need to read it. Once again she does not disappoint. 5 stars.
This is the final book in the trilogy. Once again J.A. Owenby captures your attention from page one. This book picks up right where the second leaves off. Owenby really paints a picture of an abusive relationship and the trauma it causes the person and those close to them. I couldn't put it down I laughed, cried and cheered Laci on, as she fought to recover from years of abuse. Reading the book you feel like you are apart of the story. Laci has great friends that have always been there for her, and along the way she meets some new ones. And yes, George is back!! Definitely recommend this book, read it you won't regret it one bit.

Crossroads of Revenge is the first book in a great new series by Danielle M Haas. It pulls you in and keeps you guessing right from the very beginning. I couldn't put it down. This was the first book I have read of Danielle's but will definitely not be the last. She is a great storyteller. Keeps you hanging on with lots of twists and plenty of suspense. Can not wait for the second book.
