Book review: NO MORE YESTERDAYS, by Catherine Bybee

The Heirs #3

Alexandrea & Hawk

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The third and sadly the last of this The Heirs series.  I loved each and every one of the stories in this series, each had their own charm.  In this one, we not only get a great love story with steamy scenes and a hunky hero, we get high stakes suspense and white collar hijinks.  It made for a very entertaining unputdownable read!

Alex, as we’ve seen in the previous two books, is a workaholic, determined to direct her father’s empire and make it an enduring profitable company for the sake of all the employers that depended on them.  When she’s targeted and needs a bodyguard, no one was more reluctant to toe the line.  But then, enter Hawk Bronson, very experienced in dealing with dangerous situations, an expert in security, and with a Viking attitude to protect his woman with his life, yum!


The story has very convoluted financial shenanigans, international intrigue, board members strife, everything you need for a very riveting read, of the white collar type. I loved reading Hawk, thought him perfect for Alex.  He’s not rich but not poor either, he wasn’t fazed with the luxury Alex lived in, and he was invaluable in defending her safety, thus endearing him to her brothers.  


Fast paced, challenging, hella entertaining, this was one magnificent read!

Book review: HELL OR HIGH WATER, by Abbi Glines


Mississippi Smoke #5

Than & Montana

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Abbi Glines did it again, another great story to enjoy! I don’t know where she gets her ideas, but this one was so yummy.  As usual, a virginal, gorgeous and sexy young woman is brought to the ever mentioned cottage in Linc’s ranch, located towards the back of the land.  Than is assigned to act as bodyguard/chauffeur, very much against his wishes.  He protests and whines, and it’s so cute, coming from a guy who just the night before had an orgy with three women and two other friends. 

And of course, Montana is beautiful but is not aware of her power, she’s innocent and nice, just a scared young woman being victimized by a stalker.  She needed help, approached her sperm donor sad excuse of a father, he refused, so she blackmailed him. 


it’s laughable that Than is elected for the job because Linc finds him the smart one among the young guys in his charge.  He’s instructed not to fall for her charms, and then he proceeds to fall like a sack of bricks. It’s entertaining and enchanting to read how at first it feels like guns fired, enemy at large, then the sizzles of attraction, the shouldn’t/wouldn’t/couldn’t dance of a forbidden relation.  I loved  how passionate Than is about his feelings and thoughts, how hard he fought to defend Montana against everyone.


The suspense aspect was very intriguing, it certainly kept me passing the pages, desperate to find out.  Meanwhile, we are entertained with the yummy sexy times, the relentless falling of love for Than who was completely against relations, enjoying his life of carousing.  I loved Than from Bane and Halo’s story, Tore Up, because he was so loyal to his friend Crosby and defended Halo when everyone was against her.  So even if he’s a player, I still like him and knew he would do the right thing always.


Another entertaining story, another page-turner.  Now I’m left wondering, who’s next?
