Close your eyes.....now picture this......Edward as a Mechanic!!!!

I have a dirty little secrete.   I have a thing for mechanics.  One day the Lord will bless me with one and things are going to get dirty in places other than under the hood if you know what I mean!!!

Well, my really good friend BornonHalloween wrote a mechanic story.  She didn't SPECIFICALLY write it for me....but sometimes I pretend she did.  Here is her description of this delicious story:  

Cleanliness is next to godliness, but not even the boss's daughter can stay unsoiled forever. The hot mechanic is gritty and gruff and avoiding her like the plague, so naturally he's all she wants. But would she be better off keeping her distance? Angsty ExB told in BPOV.

This story is FANTASTIC!!  You are going to love it!!  Born has the gift of writing from BPOV.  You feel like she is writing the story especially for you.

Here's the link:   Soiled

It is almost finished!!  I am sure if you will give it a chance, you won't be sorry you did!!!

Here is here original description:

Reunited for the first time since college for the week of Alice and Jasper's destination wedding, Bella and Edward are single at the same time for the first time. Once best friends, will they find more? AH, Canon Couples.

I enjoyed this story from start to finish.  It was low on angst - really sweet and complete.  If you are looking for a good read, I suggest this one!!

Vanished by Irene Hannon

Original Author's Description:  Reporter Moira Harrisons is lost. In the dark. In a thunderstorm. When a confusing detour places her on a rural, wooded road, she's startled by the sudden appearance of a lone figure caught in the beam of her headlights. Though Moira jams on her brakes, the car careens across the wet pavement--and the solid thump against the side of the vehicle tells her she hit the person before she crashes into a tree on the far side of the road. 

A dazed Moira is relieved when a man opens her door, tells her he saw everything, and promises to call 911. Then everything fades to black. When she comes to an hour later, she is alone. No man. No 911. No injured person lying on the side of the road. But she can't forget the look of terror she saw on the person's face in the instant before her headlights swung away. The person she hit had been in trouble. She's sure of it. But she can't get anyone to believe her story--except a handsome former police detective, now a private eye, who agrees to take on the case.

Sandy's Review:  As you know, I read a lot of Fan Fiction and I must be honest and tell you that when I first started reading this book I was SURE it was and Edward and Bella original.  But it's NOT!!  This is an original fiction that is worth your time.

I don't know about you, but I like a little suspense.  This book has it!  I enjoyed it from cover to cover!!  If you are looking for a little suspenseful romance I am thinking this could be your book.  You won't find any hard core lemons, but you will find intrigue and a mystery that gets bigger as the story goes on.  I really enjoyed this and and I suggest you add it to you TBR list.

Here is where you can get it:  Amazon.com

SANDY WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU IN A LONG TIME...HAVE YOU READ ANYTHING ELSE GOOD???

As a matter of fact I have.  I have read the complete collection of Black Dagger Brotherhood books!!!

These books are FANTASTIC!!  They are full of lots of luscious lemons and I can't say enough good things about them.  When you first start reading them, you read a glossary of terms.  This turns a lot of people off.  Don't let it...just read the terms, the author will use them in the book.  She adds terms but doesn't really add many each book.  It's a fun feature.

You can find the first book here:  Amazon.com

WHAT ABOUT FAN FICTION SANDY???  HAVE YOU READ ANY GOOD FIC LATELY???

Well, yes I have!

My good friend Beegurl113 wrote a story a long time ago that I never read (yeah, I couldn't believe it either)

Author's Original Description:  Two consenting adults. One wants more. What happens when the other doesn't, and never will? Is there such thing as true love in the real world? And will they see what's coming before it's too late? E/B, AH, M.

I really really enjoyed this story!  Beegurl is very talented.  I have been going back and reading stories that have completed and this one is really worth the read.  Fantastic!!

You can find it here:  Constant Bearing Decreasing Range

Ok, well, If you are still with me, please send me a comment below.  Thank you for taking the time to read!!

This Man Trilogy by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Sandy's Review:  Normally I like to include the Author's Original Description in my reviews, but since there are three books here I may be giving spoilers if I include them.  I am opting to give you my review blind.

The 'This Man' Trilogy has completely consumed me.  I know there is a stigma behind Twilight Fan Fiction and that is a place that I have lived for so many years now.  I find that in the world of novels and original fiction, the authors don't appreciate being compared to FanFic.  To the best of my knowledge The 'This Man' Trilogy is original fiction and not taken from the pages of FFN.  

When I speak about Twilight Fan Fiction I am talking about my friends and some of the most talented authors on the planet.  They are dedicated and professional and relentless to write stories that are compelling, entertaining and consuming.  If I compare your story to TwiFanFic, I am not giving you an insult - I am giving you the highest compliment I can.  And this story is the FIRST books I have read that give me the TwiFanFic feeling.  

Jesse Ward is the owner of The Manor - a high end sex club.  He commissions a young interior designer Ava O'Shea to decorate the new extension to his club.  When Ava first goes to The Manor she is under the impression that it is a hotel, and Jesse does everything he can to make sure she continues upon that impression.  As the story progresses you realize that Jesse commissioning Ava is no accident.  He is completely infatuated with her and he turns up in the oddest places.

This Man is written from Ava's point of view and that is sometimes frustrating.  I found by almost the end of the first book that I was ready to chuck it in.  It seemed to me to just be copious sex with not much story.  I was very angry with her for not ASKING QUESTIONS.  Ava seems so oblivious to everything around her and I found this aggravating.  So if you get to that point where you feel like you are confused, don't feel bad and DON'T QUIT. 

In my opinion the 2nd book is better than the first and the 3rd is the best of the three.  Simply because I finally get all my answers, I finally understand why.

These books have everything you could be looking for in entertainment:  Murder, Sex, Mystery, Intrigue, Violence, Kinky Sex, Soft Sex, Lots and Lots of Sex, but also a sweet tender love story and several people that you would like to kill yourself.  The secondary characters in these stories are well developed and I would not be surprised to see a spin off of a couple of the pairings. 

Please be advised that they are written by an English author and you may see some euphemisms that you don't recognize.  I did.

I don't want to give you the whole story - I want you to take the time to read them yourselves.  Please know that I think you will be thanking me!!

If you read on your kindle, you can find them here:  Amazon
