Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! Happy 2021 one and all. I hope the year is treating you well, even though it is brand new. Did anyone else take part in any reading challenges last year? How about this year? I met my Goodreads challenge last year (i ended up meeting two goals set there), and am taking part again this year. Way back when the blog was younger (okay hasn’t been to long just feels like it lol) I took part in other challenges too. Such as historical fiction, Vampire ect. Been a while though, if anyone is taking part in some challenges like that this year let me know! I am looking to set a few more challenges this year.

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! Happy new years week. I hope everyone had a good holiday and is looking forward to the new year. I know I am hopeful for 2021. I have set a few goals for myself but this year I have decided to keep them to myself because well, 2020 did not go any which way that was expected. I am still keeping my hopes up for a better year. I look forward to more good reading as well.
Not reading anything new until New years day myself so I will share a quote from my latest review I caught up on.

Book Review: Lover Reborn by JR Ward
Ever since the death of his shellan, Tohrment has been unrecognizable from the vampire leader he once was. Physically emaciated and heartbroken beyond despair, he has been brought back to the Brotherhood by a self-serving fallen angel. Now, fighting once again with ruthless vengeance, he is unprepared to face a new kind of tragedy.
When Tohr begins to see his beloved in his dreams—trapped in a cold, isolated netherworld far from the peace and tranquillity of the Fade—he turns to the angel in hopes of saving the one he has lost. But because Lassiter tells him he must learn to love another to free his former mate, Tohr knows they are all doomed….
Except then a female with a shadowed history begins to get through to him. Against the backdrop of the raging war with the lessers, and with a new clan of vampires vying for the Blind King’s throne, Tohr struggles between the buried past and a very hot, passion-filled future…but can his heart let go and set all of them free?
Book Review: Royal Mistress by Anne Easter Smith
From the author of A Rose for the Crown and Daughter of York comes another engrossing historical novel of the York family in the Wars of the Roses, telling the fascinating story of the rise and fall of the final and favorite mistress of Edward IV.
Jane Lambert, the quick-witted and alluring daughter of a silk merchant, is twenty-two and still unmarried. When Jane’s father finally finds her a match, she’s married off to the dull, older silk merchant William Shore—but her heart belongs to another. Marriage doesn’t stop Jane Shore from flirtation, however, and when the king’s chamberlain and friend, Will Hastings, comes to her husband’s shop, Will knows his King will find her irresistible.
Edward IV has everything: power, majestic bearing, superior military leadership, a sensual nature, and charisma. And with Jane as his mistress, he also finds true happiness. But when his hedonistic tendencies get in the way of being the strong leader England needs, his life, as well as that of Jane Shore and Will Hastings, hang in the balance.
This dramatic tale has been an inspiration to poets and playwrights for 500 years, and told through the unique perspective of a woman plucked from obscurity and thrust into a life of notoriety, Royal Mistress is sure to enthrall today’s historical fiction lovers as well.

Manuel Manello, M.D., is drafted by the Brotherhood to save her as only he can – but when the human surgeon and the vampire warrior meet, their two worlds collide in the face of their undeniable passion. With so much working against them, can love prove stronger than the birthright and the biology that separates them?

Ambrosia’s little note:
Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! Happy solstice and Christmas week. Been a good one here so far. All of my Dresden file kittens have found their forever homes. Best yet Susan and Murphy get to go home together. I truly wished that for them as they have a good bond. None can go home just yet we have to finish ring worm treatment and have surgeries. But they have the families they will be going to and that makes me very happy.

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! I hope everyone’s week is going well so far. Almost Christmas, wow. I am not usually big on Christmas, but I needed some extra cheer this year (don’t we all). So I have been doing a bit of decorating. Even whipped up some of my room spray in a Christmas scent. Not going anywhere this year, staying safe, but hey I can make it more homey. What are your plans for the holidays this year?

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! I hope everyone’s week is going well so far. Please pardon if you happen to see a small script error on the top of the page, it is a tech issue after transferring hosting over. I am working on in, but it is taking time and frustration. May just end up doing a different theme layout and trying to keep my favorite parts. Okay, sorry about the little vent. Just been a rough couple of days with the transfer.

Book Review: The Boleyn Deceit (The Boleyn Trilogy #2)
Perfect for fans of Philippa Gregory, Alison Weir, and Showtime’s The Tudors, The Boleyn Deceit is the captivating new novel set in the imagined Tudor court of King Henry IX. Son of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, who must navigate a terrain rife with palace intrigue, impending war, and unbridled passions.
The regency period is over and William Tudor, now King Henry IX, sits alone on the throne. But England must still contend with those who doubt his legitimacy, both in faraway lands and within his own family. To diffuse tensions and appease the Catholics, William is betrothed to a young princess from France, but still he has eyes for only his childhood friend Minuette, and court tongues are wagging.
Even more scandalous—and dangerous, if discovered—is that Minuette’s heart and soul belong to Dominic, William’s best friend and trusted advisor. Minuette must walk a delicate balance between her two suitors. Unable to confide in anyone, not even her friend Elizabeth, William’s sister, who must contend with her own cleaved heart. In this irresistible tale, the secrets that everyone keeps are enough to change the course of an empire.
