What is great about this book?

HA! A tough question to ask any author about her book baby.

I read all kinds of books, and there are many shifter books out there, werewolves, lions, and bears; we’ve all seen them.  Shifter books can be a fun read, and I thought I could write a superior one. Now there is nothing wrong with steamy romance, but I always want an exciting plot to accompany it. So, I wrote a book that is more than boy meets girl equals instant lust. There is plenty of lust, but there is also conflict and a mystery. The characters are well developed and they aren’t perfect. They are likeable but flawed and damaged as are all real people. The reader discovers their failings, their strengths, and their motivations. The heated attraction builds as a trusting relationship develops. Meanwhile, the mystery and threat grow as well.

Shifter mythology has been around forever. From Native American shapeshifters to ancient Greek mythology, people have found the concept of changing physical forms fascinating.  The concept of changing into an animal tugs at our imagination and pushes our boundaries in ways we would like to accept.  This book explains where shape shifters originated and how their powers came to be.

Additionally, these memorable characters come from fantastically affluent backgrounds that most of us enjoy reading about but don’t experience. High fashion models and NFL stars aren’t our usual neighbors, but they make for a diverting read. Phoenix is fluent in smartassery and unimpressed by this football player who wants her. Ian has never met a woman who wasn’t interested in his fame and body, but in Phoenix he has met his counterpart.  The problem is, he has to keep her alive long enough to make her his.

Romance, mystery, and a killer on the loose make this a great book you will want to read.

Blurb: 

When Alexandria Ray’s romance series becomes an overnight sensation, the world and its demands close in on her. After years of struggling to maintain the pace her publisher, agent and the world expects, she needs a break. Enrolling as a student at Columbia University is step one to finding herself again. Finding Arsen Daniel was not on her list.

Arsen Daniel, along with his best friend, built an empire in the form of an exclusive, psychology-based dating service. When an old friend invites him to teach a course at Columbia, he accepts. The course? The Psychology of Love.  Sounds simple enough and the publicity alone will make it worth his time.

Arsen didn’t expect to meet his match in the form of a sarcastic blonde, hell bent on holding to her belief that true love doesn’t actually exist. After all, what woman, especially a world-renowned romance writer, doesn’t believe in happily ever after?

Something in Alexandria’s eyes tortures him. She reminds him of someone from his past and that is a very bad thing.

“I can’t hit on my professor! Wait – do I call him my professor? Is that what he is?” And how hot was hot? There were various levels: warm, steamy, uber, and lava.

“I’d let him call me anything he wanted. It’s kind of kinky. Call him ‘professor’ and see if he likes it.”

“Ava!”

She giggled and leaned her head onto the rest. “Spank me, professor!” she moaned loudly. She was completely entitled to the slap I gave her arm. “Ouch! Damn it, Lexie!”

“You asked for a spanking.”

A middle-aged man with peppered hair and a beer belly shifted in his seat across the aisle. “You can spank me if you want.”

“Negatory on that,” I replied, looking to Ava for help. She pursed her lips to contain the laughter dancing in her eyes. Benedict Arnold. I needed a new wing woman.

Lady Reader's Bookstuff Presents: Rory by Irish Winters; #Review & #Giveaway

RORY (In The Company of Snipers, #6)
Author: Irish Winters
Pages: 304
Published: February 9, 2015
Publisher: Windy Day Press 

Rating:  4 1/2 Stars

Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from Lady Reader's Bookstuff Blog Tours and the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

About the Book:

Agent Rory Dennison is every woman’s dream. Tall, dark and Hollywood handsome, the ex-Marine scout sniper maintains a private life none of his teammates suspect. The TEAM is just a job. He intends to keep it that way—until assassins murder the father of the tiny Tibetan girl in his charge.

Rory finds himself pulled into a world of mystery and intrigue when he and his companion agent, Ember Davis, are forced to flee with Nima Dawa. Too late he discovers Nima is not only destined to become the next Dalai Lama, but she has an unearthly gift of sight.

She can see right through him. And she does.

His carefully guarded private life is suddenly at risk. He doesn't know what to trust or who to believe. The world is too full of shadows.

He isn't the only one with secrets.... 

Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble  

My Thoughts: 

Rory Dennison is at the gym working out when he sees Ember Davis and she learns his secret.  If you want to know what that secret is you’ll just have to read this book in order to get that question answered.  This is a suspenseful adventure that may have you holding your breath at times and one that starts almost from the beginning.

This is a story where you can picture each scene as it unfolds.  And that is just one reason why it is a book that is so hard to put down.  Our author has created characters that even though they have a military background; they still have human emotions just like the rest of us.  The difference between us is that sometimes those emotions must be pushed to the background in order for them to do their jobs.

There was a scene that did disturb me a little but that just goes to show how creative this author is.  It shows that she’s doing her job.  Her words are creating a reaction and isn’t that one thing we love about those that we follow – why would you want to follow someone where you didn’t feel something.  She also made me envious of the special gift she created for one of her characters.

If you love an alpha male you’ll get your fix with Rory and if you love a woman who can kick some serious ass then you’ll love Ember.  And if you love a book where there’s some heat between the main characters then that’s another reason to read this book.  If you love a female character that’s comfortable in her own skin then you’ve got to get to know Ember.  Maybe you love a male character that’s all about giving orders then you will need to get to know Rory.  One thing I was happy to find out was that there are plenty more books coming in this series – which is great news for this author’s readers.

IN THE COMPANY OF SNIPERS

This multi-book series revolves around ex-Marine scout sniper, Alex Stewart, and his covert surveillance company, The TEAM, home-based out of Alexandria, Virginia. An obsessive patriot and workaholic, he draws his strength from the purest heart in his universe, Kelsey, his wife.

In the Company of Snipers is a collection of love stories. Book 1, ALEX, reveals how The TEAM came to be as well as how Alex and Kelsey met, fell in love, and fought against all odds to stay together. Each of the following stories in the series is a complete romance in itself where, in the course of an active TEAM operation, one agent will come face to face with his or her demons. They’re all patriots and warriors, dealing with what they’ve lived through or the mistakes they’ve made.

By the end of the telling, it is my hope that you, my reader, will come to realize along with my heroes that—

Love changes everything.
