VBT# Two Thousand Lines - Michelle Jester

Image
Review: Two Thousand Lines - Michelle Jester - November 2019 For those who have read Michelle Jesters's previous titles like myself, The Funeral Flower and Love,Cutter will understand that her books are quite edgy and feature topics that can trigger memories for most. Two Thousand Lines as someone asked me on Instagram what genre I would put it as- my answer was: Edgy YA fiction. The title Two Thousand Lines stems from one of the punishments that our main character Olivia had to endure from the hand of her stepfather, Mr. Melvin. He liked doing everything in two thousand and from a young age, we see him punishing Olivia and at moments throughout the book, we read as she is subjected to his abuse mentally and physically. The book has flashbacks from Olivia as young as seven-eight and goes up to the present in her adulthood. Olivia is now training to be a vets assistant and after the death of her next-door neighbor Maureen. Her grandson Luke has moved in. He has hear...

The Body Painter by Pepper Winters blitz with Xpresso Book Tours.

The Body Painter Pepper Winters (Master of Trickery Duet #1) Publication date: August 20th 2019 Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance “Must be slim, able to stand for long periods of time, and be impervious to the cold.” The headline caught my attention. “Hours are negotiable, pay is minimal, clothing absolutely forbidden.” The second line piqued my curiosity. “Able to hold your bladder and tongue, refrain from opinions or suggestions, and be the perfect living canvas.” The third made me scowl. “Other attributes required: non-ticklish, contortionist, and obedient. Must also enjoy being studied while naked in a crowd.” The fourth made me shudder. “Call or email ‘YOUR SKIN, HIS CANVAS’ if interested in applying.” The final made my heart race. I should’ve kept scrolling past the advertisement. I should’ve applied for the boring receptionist job at minimum wage. I should’ve clicked on any other job where I got to keep my clothes on. But I didn’t. I applied. My inter...

Hot Mess Cover Reveal with R Linda

Image
Title: Hot Mess Author: R. Linda Genre: RomCom Publication Date: May 28 th , 2019 Cover Designer: Cassy Roop at Pink Ink Designs Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR Blurb: There’s always that one girl who has all these dreams, yet she can’t reach them because she’s constantly tripping over her own two feet. That’s me. I’m that girl. The unorganized, chaotic, hot mess. I’m the struggling artist who refuses to give up my love for pizza just because society constantly shoves thin, perfectly toned bodies in my face saying that’s what women are supposed to look like. Oh, and I’m filthy rich. On paper anyway. I can’t touch my trust fund just yet, so to get those nasty debt-collectors off my back I rent out the snazzy mansion my parents left me. Of course it has to be Tate Montgomery who moves in—the super sexy celebrity with three million, five hundred and twenty-six followers on Instagram. And of course I have to be the paint-covered walking disaster who falls for s...

  Review: Charmed - Alexa Riley - March 2018 Charlie is an artist, and there is a building downtown that she is obsessed with capturing its beauty.  During March, it is St. Patrick's Day and the whole town is enjoying a parade. Charlie has set up next to her picture - a table for face painting and decorating a child's cheeks with green clovers. During the day, she is startled as Warren who owns the building she has been drawing ends up covered in her green paint. Gruff as he may be, he frightens Charlie but in doing so - he sees something that he likes in her and wants to get to know her more. During the rest of the book, we learn about Charlie's life - her love of painting, kids and her homelessness. Warren seeks her out to claim her as his own. Will Charlie be wooed by Warren or will he have to work a bit harder than usual to earn the love of the girl of his dreams. As usual, this was an easy, quick smutty read that when readers pick up an...
