RIM's Review of

Caught Up By Jacob “JB” Burrage

It was interesting how one moment changed everything for successful author Jeremiah Blackwood; and how sitting at the bus stop would put his world into super orbit. That day he meet a woman named Shirley, and while taking her from her man wasn't the plan, neither was all the hell that opened up from her existence in his life. As their crazy alignment becomes a relationship; lies, secrets, and other people, have Jeremiah wishing he had driven the day he meet her.

They exchanged numbers, chatted for a few days, and then Shirley made her move. After all the complaining about her man, she just needed someone to love her. How could he deny her when she possessed one of the best bodies he had ever seen? They had sex until the morning, yet Jeremiah awakes to an empty bed. This would happen a lot after their late night rendezvous. Finally as any man would, he forces her to decide choose him or her man. What he gets in response shakes his core and she chooses neither instead make moves with a woman.

As Shirley leads Jeremiah through a on again, off again, relationship he sexes down a few willing females: including Shirley's new girlfriend. The repercussions of her unwillingness to make a man or woman her main attraction leads this cast through some life or death situations.

The hypocrisy of the double standard is displayed frequently. While socially acceptable for a man to sleep around, a woman does it she is called everything but a woman when displays the exact same behavior. The author does however slightly redeem themselves and makes mention for men to take heed that the game they have so longed played is now being perfected by women.
 
Love has no shape, color, race, and nowadays gender, yet can be disguised by lust. Lust is the physical need to have someone where love is the desire of another's affection. Lust drives the hearts of men to kill for a one night stand, when love knows there are no more one nights there is only every night.

RIM's Review of Yesterday’s Lies by Terri D

RIM's Review of Yesterday’s Lies by Terri D

Oh, what a tangled web we weave; when first we practice to deceive! Yesterday’s Lies is just that, a tangled web of lies and deceit. Toni and David have been together since high school, Jada, Toni’s best friend since high school, and Benjamin, David’s friend since childhood hook up as well. During their senior year of college things take a turn for the worse, when one lie is told to cover up an unfortunate event, which produces more lies for years to come.

I was a little confused at first because I wasn’t sure how the characters tied in together in the beginning, eventually it became clear. This is a fast paced quick read, filled with twists and turns and a surprising revelation. I give this 3.5/4 stars due to the slight confusion in the beginning. I would recommend this to all readers looking for a surprising and suspenseful read.

Spirit Unbroken: Abby’s story

Spirit Unbroken: Abby’s story by Jeanne McElvaney Child

Sexual abuse is a very serious and ongoing issue in society. In March 2011 it was reported that Child sexual abuse has been reported up to 80,000 times a year, but the number of unreported instances is far greater. The reason being is that most people not involved don’t want the shame and ridicule so they turn a blind eye and tell the child “what happens within these walls stays within these walls”. Spirit Unbroken is a riveting tale of one child’s ability to survive despite the cruel and sometimes horrific events she was subjected to.

This was the my first novel by Jeanne McElvaney, Spirit Unbroken captures you from the first page and takes you on Abby’s emotional journey from childhood through her adult years. I look forward to reading more form this author and I give this 5 stars. I recommended this to all readers.

RIM's Review of 10 Erotic: Book 1 by Dallas Black

RIM's Review of 10 Erotic: Book 1 by Dallas Black

Sometimes a quickie is all you need…

10 Erotic: Book 1 by Dallas Black is for the reader on the go that needs a little taste of a good story. Just enough of a tease to get to the next phase. All of the stories contained in this book were that of raw passion, in numerous places, from the laundry room to the spa. All the stories have a great storyline that stays on point for whatever the theme is. I cannot say much more or I will be giving away too much.
The fact each story has a poem that goes along with it is just another plus for this author.

I personally love this book. It was just an enough to tease keep and me satisfied. The vivid use of description gives you a since of being there like a fly on the wall watching the action. My personal favorite of this author would have to be called Preserves and P**sy.


I give this book 5 star. I recommend this book to anyone that does not have the time to sit and read a conventional novel and just want a little something to hit the spot.

RIM'S Author of the Month for February- Author SK

Reader's In Motion's

Author of the Month for February-

Author SK

Tell us about you.

First of all, thank you to Readers in Motion for choosing me as February's writer of the month! It's an honor and I appreciate it very much! My name is SK and I'm a wife and mother of one son. I was born and raised in Louisiana (the Who Dat state – Geaux Saints!) . I lived in Japan for about six years, which is where my son was born. I also lived in several other states throughout the years, including, New Mexico and Utah, before eventually moving back home.

When and why did you begin writing?

I began writing in 2010. As is true with the majority of writers, I've always been an avid reader. While growing up, I loved to escape to whatever worlds writing carried me to. I have to thank my mother for indulging my obsession because I remember many days I would bug her endlessly to take me to the library until she finally relented to get some peace. Once I walked out with an arm full of books, I would be happy and content! Several years ago, I found a site that a friend told me about and was drawn to the section where amateur writers could post their stories and have readers comment on them. I'd always thought about writing a book, but for the longest time, that's all it was – a thought. I finally garnered the courage to put a story up online and the response was great from the beginning. I wrote under the name sweetkaramel, which my readers eventually shortened to SK, and so it began.

Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?

My genre as of now is erotic romance, but I plan on branching out to other genre's as well, mainly paranormal – with a twist!  I write the types of books I love to read, so I think that's why writing erotica comes easy. The books I enjoy reading and writing have to include a storyline, though. It can't be only sex, sex, sex. After a while that gets a little boring to me, and it has to have a touch of real life. What I write is never outrageously over the top. Readers can relate to the books and actually see themselves doing or saying certain things like my characters – or maybe what they wish they could do or say sometimes! As with anything, I do a lot a research! LOL It can be challenging to keep a reader’s attention, especially when it comes to sex scenes. Again, it has to be realistic, but hot and erotic! Anything can spark the imagination. We just have to keep our eyes open, pay attention, and let our imaginations soar!

What are your current projects?

Right now, I just finished the third installment in a series I'm writing. The series is Sin City Heat. The books go as follows: Buried Secrets (Book 1), Twisted Obsessions (Book 2), Beginning of an Eclipse (Prequel), and No Secrets No Lies (Book 3). All can be found in the form of ebooks on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The series started off as just a simple story but it grew from there and took on a life of its own. My next project is a collaboration with authors Kr Bankston and Elizabeth LaShaun, and I'm very excited about that! These two ladies are true stars in the lit game. We're still working out the details, but the way our styles mesh and complement each other’s, it's a guaranteed best seller. Be looking out for more information soon!

 Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

I want to thank everyone who has supported me from day one. This game is not an easy one, but I think you have to actually love the craft of writing and that will come through in your work. I along with everyone else strive to reach the top of the literary world, but the love I’ve received from readers has touched my heart more than anything. I'm still fairly new to writing, and to see that so many people enjoy my work, actually look forward to reading it, is simply humbling for me, so I thank the readers from the bottom of my heart! As long as they want to read it, I'll write it!

RIM'S Review of Seven Days Seven Nights: More Skeletons Revealed by L'Miginon

RIM's Review

of Seven Days Seven Nights:

More Skeletons Revealed

 by L'Miginon
It’s the day that all girls wait for. Pretty white dress, friends and family, and the man of their dreams. But on this day, everything is at the church except the bride-to-be. McKenzie Johnson decided that the man at the altar that she has been in a long up and down engagement is not the man that she wants to marry. So she decides to not go on with it but to take a 7 day and 7 night cruise with Adair, the stripper from her bachelorette party.

When McKenzie takes upon this cruise with Adair she sees it as a chance to not think about what the past year has brought about her, but to just have fun and enjoy herself. All that starts to change however as the emotional connection and sexual desire between her and Adair becomes too much to handle. Seven Days and seven nights have come and gone and it is time to face the real world again.

McKenzie now has to deal with the consequences of leaving Milton at the altar with no warning except a letter. Will she forget about the time that she spent with Adair and try to give her relationship with the man she once loved another try or will she move on and find a new love with a new man?

L’Mignion has knocked another book out of the park. I was hooked on this book from day one. Seven Days and Seven Nights picked right up from where her debut novel, Skeletons in the Closet, left off. A plus is that the reader does not necessarily have to read the first novel to be able to understand this novel. The author gives McKenzie a “real woman’s mind” as well a realistic character with all the emotions included.
This book was a very fast paced, action, and sexually packed novel. Again well done!!!

RIM's Review of Lessons on Church Folk - Volume 1 & 2 by Antoinette Marie Davis

RIM's Review of

Lessons on Church Folk - Volume 1 & 2

by Antoinette Marie Davis

Lessons on Church Folks Vol. 1 and 2 are novels that bring to light many issues that are found in the everyday twentieth -century church. These short stories contained in these novels are there to entertain but also show the seriousness in the issues that are spoken about. The book covers issues from backbiting (gossiping) to adultery. Each story starts with a short paragraph explaining the issue and then a short parable or example of the issue.

In some cases, I love the format of the book. The size of the book could be intimidatingto a new reader but on the other hand great for the reader that cannot sit and read a full novel but just a little excerpt every day. The downfall of the novel is the lack of scripture references. Based on the writing presented, there is a feeling that most of the book was skewed toward negativity of those that attended church as a regular practice. If one were a weak-minded or simply or unaware of the positives of religious worship gathering, on would never return to a church or visit a church after reading this.

This reviewer wishes that the author would have given just a little more to the novel than a “parable a day”.
