This book is why I read. I have only found a few books like this, but this book has everything an avid reader looks for. Luna Rockwell will invade your heart and soul. You can't help, but feel what she feels. Luna could be any one of us. There is not a part of Luna that you won’t be able to connect with. The character development is seamless, and you will find yourself falling in love with every dynamic character she introduces. The plotline weaves its way around you until you feel like you are there watching it all unfold. The emotions leap from the page; they grab your heart and will wring every emotion out of you until the very last page. You will laugh out loud from the witty banter. There is not one thing I could ask for more of in this book.....well there is one thing, but I will leave that for you all to find out on your own! ;-)



One day can change your whole life in the best and the worst way possible. It is about finding yourself, grieving, repairing relationships, and finding love that is not conventional, but perfect for you. Love knows no bounds when it wants to find you. It will make you run the gamut of emotions from page start to finish. 


This book made me feel things I have not felt in a long time. Falling Forward, slide effortlessly into my Top 10 Books list of books I've ever read. For a voracious reader like me, that is not an easy feat. 

Dawn Robertson hits it out of the park with this book. It is unlike anything she has ever done, but she does it oh so well. This book will stay with you long after you put it down. Welcome Back, Ms. Robertson, you have been missed. 
If you are looking for a book with all the feels...you have found it!! I was sad, happy, heartbroken, and then happy again. Dawn has definitely hit it out of the park with this one.
**Jackie**

When you read a book and can relate to the heroine's feelings, making the story so personal it feels as if you know her.... THAT is what reading is all about for me. 
**Jennifer**

It is a romance for the ages and will be a reread of mine for years to come. There is nothing better than living all the emotions of the characters within the pages of an epic story.
**Stefanie**

This was my favorite Dawn Robertson book I've read so far.
**R. Kennedy**

You will laugh, cry, swoon, most of all you will FEEL.
**Trina**

It's not your typical romance novel and that's exactly what I love about it. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who may be stuck in a "romance genre" funk.

Three times bestselling author Dawn Robertson was born and raised in Connecticut before relocating to Florida in 2013. The same year first novel, Hers debuted as an Amazon Best Seller. Replicating that success with two additional novels in the following years.
The Indie publishing world has grown to love her raw writing style depicting strong women in real life situations, topping the charts in erotica, romance, and romance-suspense. Robertson has even insinuated that the female character in her book mirror her real life.

Blog Tour & Review - Crazy Bitch by Jamie Begley






My mother used to have a saying for everything.
“You can’t be pretty and lucky.”
She wasn’t pretty or lucky.
“You have to kiss a lot of toads before you find your Prince Charming.”
I kissed too many of those. Sorry, but Prince Charming isn’t in Hicktown, Kentucky.
“The good ones go to Heaven; the bad ones go to Hell.”
Guess I’m going to Hell.
“Hell is paved with good intentions.”
Surprisingly, that one is true. Why? Because ...
I intended to stay away from Calder Riggs.
I intended not to fall in love with him.
I intended to find a man who wasn’t a loser or a joker.
Oh well, I’ve never been afraid of Hell, anyway.
That’s why I’m Crazy Bitch!  
“That wasn’t polite,” he mumbled as they continued up the stairs.

“I didn’t like the way you were looking at Jewel.”

“I don’t look the way you look at Shade, Knox, or Rider.”
Crazy Bitch didn’t say anything until they reached their room.
“I didn’t like the way you looked at Jewel, so I said something. If you don’t like the way I look at other men, say something. I’m not a fucking mind reader.”
Tossing his bag onto the bed, he angrily stalked to where she was standing by the door. “I don’t like it.”
“Then I won’t do it anymore. Satisfied?”
He placed his hands on the door, caging her in. “When I’m with you, I’m never satisfied. I always want more. I’m not even satisfied when I’m done fucking you. I’m not satisfied when you come on my tongue and don’t beg me for more. I’m not satisfied that, if I walked away from you, you wouldn’t give a flying fuck. You know what would satisfy me? You quit playing around with me like you’re expecting me to fuck up and give you an excuse to stop seeing me.”

“You are going to fuck up—that’s what men do!”

“Woman, you act like you’re made out of armor. The problem is, it may be protecting you, but it’s keeping me away.” He traced the line of her stubborn jaw with his thumb. “You don’t have to protect yourself from me. I’m so crazy about you that I’m jealous over every man you look at.”
“I don’t want you jealous.”
“What do you want?”
Her eyes shifted sideways. “I want you to say you like me.”
Calder was stunned at her simple request. She wanted what no one had given her before. His heart ached that the only thing she wanted didn’t cost a dime, yet to her, it was as valuable as gold.
“Anna-Kate, I like you a lot. In fact, I like you so much I’m falling in love with you.”
“You are?” The woman whom he had considered to be hard as stone gave him an uncertain smile.
“A hundred percent.”
“You can’t go any higher than a hundred percent.”

“No, you can’t. I guess that settles it then. I’m definitely in love with you.”

She gave a smile so radiant he had to blink to make sure he was seeing it. It was like a flower that had unfurled in the sunlight, trying to catch the first rays of the morning. There was also wariness, but a gradual openness that let him catch sight of the gentle soul she kept guarded within her. As if one careless step would trample the budding love she was feeling for him.
He embraced her so gently he heard her breath hitch in her throat.
“Do you know how long I’ve been in love with you?” she asked.
“How long?” he asked huskily.
“When I looked over the edge on Black Mountain, and you pulled me back. I’ve never had anyone do that for me.”
He frowned. “What, keep you from falling off a mountain?”
“Usually, people want to throw me off them, not hold me back.”
“That’s what makes me different. I would have gone over the cliff with you before I would have ever let you fall.”
3.5 Stars
I really wanted to love this book. I am a big fan of this series. I think of it as more of a military club than an MC even though they abide by the general MC hierarchy in MC books. Even with the Biker B*tches, they are an extension of this main series, in my opinion.
With that being said, I really thought this book was going to knock me on my behind like Sex Piston, Killyama, and Fat Louise. There was no depth, and when they finally revealed the plotline behind Crazy B*tch, I was already over her petulant, childish behavior.
CB wanted to be loved and had trust issues. I get that, but she acted like a brat throughout the book without any maturity while Calder matured and showed her what she needed and was a stand-up guy who knew what he wanted even though he carried a lot of baggage from his years of drug use. 
I had really just hoped for more or for a better connection between the Calder & CB. 
I gave it 3.5 stars for Calder and his journey, the secondary characters that showed up, the witty banter between the secondary characters, and the scenes with Gavin.
I do look forward to future books and hope I get the same connection as I did with the Last Rider series.

"I was born in a small town in Kentucky. My family began poor, but worked their way to owning a restaurant. My mother was one of the best cooks I have ever known, and she instilled in all her children the value of hard work and education.
Taking after my mother, I've always loved to cook, and became pretty good if I do say so myself. I love to experiment and my unfortunate family has suffered through many. They now have learned to steer clear of those dishes. I absolutely love the holidays and my family puts up with my zany decorations.
For now, my days are spent writing, writing, and writing. I have two children who both graduated this year from college. My daughter does my book covers, and my son just tries not to blush when someone asks him about my books.
Currently, I am writing five series of books- The Last Riders, The VIP Room, Predators MC, Biker Bitches, and The Dark Souls.
All my books are written for one purpose- the enjoyment others find in them, and the expectations of my fans that inspire me to give it my best.”

He wanted her, they needed her, but loving them may cost her everything...
A widower with four adopted daughters, Emmit McKay likes to keep a handle on things. But nothing can prepare the former FBI sharpshooter for the battles coming to his small hometown. Especially the one which arrives in such a tempting package.
Savannah Walker moves to Blue Creek to take over as principal of the school Emmit's daughters attend. With a masters' degree in education and a no-nonsense attitude, she is caught off guard by the behavior of the McKay girls and never expects to fall in love with them—or in lust with their father.

Savannah and Emmit cannot deny the chemistry which draws them together, but the closer they get, the more dangerous the stakes become. When a murderer is hidden amongst you, you can't let the dead lie.

An Excerpt from the Book

Take an inside look at Let the Dead Lie. Read this sizzling excerpt from the book.
The new principal took his breath away. She had creamy skin, golden-brown hair, and eyes that shone like sapphires. She was small and slender but had curves he couldn't miss. She was almost the exact opposite of Gracie, who had been both model slim and tall. Emmit knew he was staring, but he wasn't the only one.
"Pops, what's the matter witcha?" Fletcher wanted to know, jumping out of Casey's lap and moving toward him, sizing him up. "You's ain't sick, are yah?"
Emmit shook his head to clear it. He glanced back at Principal Walker as she, too, became aware of the girls once again. He tweaked Fletcher's nose.
"Nah, kiddo, I'm fine, just fine," he said as the principal held out her hand.
"Mr. McKay, I presume, I'm Savan…um, Principal Walker. Sorry you had to come out here," she said and after one brief shake, dropped his hand.
"Ma'am. Well, you being the new principal and all, we were bound to meet sooner or later." He almost smiled, then motioned to his girls. "Who wants to explain to me what happened this time?" He looked from one guilty face to another. Feet shuffled and hands clasped.
"Daddy, it was all a big misunderstanding. Things were said, and then one thing led to another, and well, here we are," Alexandra explained in the wispy voice he knew she'd been practicing in the mirror.
Great read that keeps you guessing from beginning to end. Couldn't put it down!
