Favorite Quotes:
“Carly, I swear I don’t know where you find these devilishly
sexy men, but if I ever leave Josh, I’ll be raiding your man candy dish.”
“Just tryin’ to ease your nerves you filthy minded
freak. Get on the table and wait for the
doctor like a good girl.”
My Review:
I almost always struggle when reading a series, especially
when there has been a considerable time lag between installments. I typically start off feeling a bit lost as I
have either forgotten or confused most of the secondary characters, as well as many
of the salient details about the story. So
it took me a few chapters to find my sea legs with this book, as the beginning
of the story had me truly muddled. When
I finally started making connections and settling in, the story took off like a
rocket and I was holding onto my precious kindle for dear life. We find there are many deep and hideous
secrets that go all the way around and circle several times to surround this
small yet intense group of people. There is a bit of everything in the mix, humor,
suspense, illness, pregnancy, sass, drama, angst, tears – someone is always
crying their eyes out – tenderness, abuse, brawling, heartache, and oh yes… deliciously
steamy sensual scenes. It was a long and
involved story, and I enjoyed several nights of sleeplessness and subsequent book
hang-overs – so worth it! Ms. Webb has concocted
a well plotted and intriguing story that I don’t think I could ever tire
of. She is devious in sprinkling details
about and parceling out its-and-bits of information to keep me involved in the
story, and unable to put my kindle down.
She is a wicked woman, even though my eyes are red and my head is sore
and wooly, I am already feeling restless and tapping my foot while waiting for
her next one.

raised in the heart of the Eastern Kentucky coal fields. A coal truck driver's
daughter, and a railroader's wife, the coal fields own a special place in her
heart.
Silla is a work at home, Super Momma to
three rowdy boys, who keep her on her feet from daylight to sunset. As a pass
time from her everyday life, Silla started a blog-Momma's Secret Book
Obsession, for reviewing romance novels. From there, she realized that not only
did she have a natural love for reading and reviewing, but she found that lost
love of writing that she once had as a young girl.
When she isn't conquering the world as
a wife, momma and Super Woman, Silla loves to lay on the front porch swing and
read while sipping sweet tea, just passin' the day away.
