INTRODUCTION

Hi everyone My name is Victoria Zumbrum, 40 years old, married 14 years with 1 son. This is my very first blog. So bear with me. I have always wanted to have my own blog. I have always loved to read. I enjoy getting lost in a good book.
I love becoming part of the story and characters. I am hoping to bring my love of books to my readers.

I love reading different genres such as paranormal, young adult, romance, romantic suspense, mystery, Christian fiction, some horror, etc. The list goes on. I started reviewing books a couple of years ago and have done reviews for different blogs and even some authors. I really have enjoyed reviewing books and I will continue to do so. If anyone is interested in me reviewing a book for them, please contact me. I still have a lot to learn regarding my own blog so bear with me. I welcome and appreciate all followers.

Geri Glenn's Jase Cover Reveal













Ellen



My life is far from perfect, but I’m ok with that.  I’ve worked hard to get to where I am.  I have a cute little house, a job that fulfills me, and a little boy that I love more than life itself.  I pride myself on being a strong, independent woman, and letting a man fix my problems for me just isn’t the way I work.

I had Jase pegged from the second I laid eyes on him.  The man’s a player and I have no intentions of being played.  Been there, done that.  I don’t care that he has a killer smile and an ass I could happily spend all day bouncing quarters off of.  His interest is kind of flattering in the beginning – and then it’s not.

Jase

People say I don’t take anything in life seriously.  They’re probably right.  I’ve seen the shit life can throw at you and I refuse to let it touch me.  I live free – I have fun.  People say I don’t respect women.  Well, they’re wrong about that.  I love women almost as much as they love me.  I love the way they smell, the way they taste, and I especially love they way they feel when I get them under me.

I’d met Ellen months ago, and no matter what I do, I can’t seem to get her out of my head.  She’s gorgeous, funny and has an incredible ass.  The only problem is that I’ve never had to work so hard to get a woman into my bed … but we’ll get there.  I’ll make sure of it.  She doesn’t know it yet, but my brand of playing is just what she needs. 










Charlotte

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve taken care of everyone around me, including my self-centered older sister, Anna. When her poor choices make us targets of the Devil’s Rejects Motorcycle Club, I grab her and we run like hell. A new city, a new job, a new life. It’s almost perfect – and then I meet Ryker.

He’s gorgeous, rugged and too cocky for his own damned good. But he’s a biker – exactly the type of man I’ve been running from. I have no business getting involved with a man like him. Too bad I can’t get him out of my head.

Ryker

As V.P. of the Kings of Korruption MC, I know all about violence and loss. In my world, getting involved with a woman never turns out well. Avoiding commitment isn’t something I have to work at – it’s just a way of life. Then I meet Charlotte. Drawn to her kindness and beauty, I know there’s no place for her in my world. I have to let her go.

Finding Charlotte battered and bloody late one night, I go against my own beliefs, making it my mission to protect her. The Devils are out for blood and it’s Charlotte’s they want. Maybe I can’t keep her but I will put my life on the line to keep her safe. If not, I face losing the only woman that’s ever made me feel alive.










Laynie

Smile when you’re happy, cry when you’re sad and don’t ever be afraid to try something new. These are the words I live by. We only get one shot at this life, and I intend to live the best one I can. I had it all growing up. Popularity, beauty, great friends and a perfect family. But then one day, it all changed – now I’m blind. I’ve never let that stop me though. Life is an adventure and I believe in making the best out of every moment. 

I spend my days with a job I love, online friends and a sexy new book boyfriend every week. I know in my heart that someday, my own prince charming will come along and appreciate me for exactly who I am – I won’t settle for anything less. Meeting Tease seems like the beginning of my fairy tale … until he opens his mouth.

Tease

I don’t trust people – ever. Every single person I’ve ever loved has contributed, in one way or another, to the shit show that is my life. Keeping everyone I meet at arm’s length, I work hard at being the star of most people’s nightmares. People think I’m a monster and honestly – they’re right.

Laynie’s beauty is what caught my eye, but her personality is what held it. Laynie’s the only person to ever see past my appearance and break down the walls I’ve worked so hard to build. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her. When things heat up with a rival club, and Laynie gets caught in the crossfire, I will unleash hell on earth to protect the woman who makes me want to trust someone again. When bullets start flying and bodies start piling up, keeping her safe may be the last thing I ever do.












Geri Glenn is the debut author of the Kings of Korruption MC Series. The first book, titled Ryker, is releasing on August 14, 2015, and can be read as a standalone. 

Geri has been an avid reader for as long as she can remember. She can usually be found curled up in a comfy chair, reading on her iPad both day and night. Geri is an incurable night owl, and it's not uncommon for her to still be awake, reading at 4 am, just because she can't put the book down!

Geri loves all genres of fiction, but her passion is anything romantic or terrifying; basically anything that can get her heart pumping. This passion has bled out onto her laptop, and became the Kings of Korruption. 

Writing this first book in the series knocked off the #1 thing on Geri's bucket list, and publishing it has been an absolute dream come true. She hopes you love the Kings as much as she does.

Review of In Time for You by Chris Karlsen



Another book in the exciting, best-selling time-travel romance series, Knights in Time.

While horseback riding in the English countryside, sisters, Electra and Emily Crippen find themselves trapped in a tear in time. Thrown back to 1357 England and caught by a local noble, they are in a place that is home but as frightening and unfamiliar as an alien world would be. With no idea how the tear in time came about, the one thing they do know is: they must stay together and stay near to where the event took place in hopes of discovering the way back to their modern life. That certain need to stay together is the first certainty taken from them when one sister is forced to remain in England and one is sent miles away to Wales by royal order.

There is one other hope for help the sisters don’t know exists. It’s Electra’s lover, Roger Marchand. A time traveler himself, he never told her of his past. When he realizes what has happened to the sisters, he enlists the help of a scientist friend to help him open the suspected passageway through time. Any effort to save Electra and Emily will likely cost him his life. This was the time Roger came from, a time when his country, France, was at war with England. If he is discovered on English soil while searching for the sisters, he will either be killed or taken prisoner of war. Any risk is worth saving the life of the woman he loves.

MY REVIEW:

IN TIME FOR YOU IS BOOK 4 IN KNIGHTS IN TIME SERIES.  EACH BOOK IN THE SERIES CAN BE READ AS A STAND ALONE BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THE BOOKS IN ORDER.   YOU WILL GET MORE FROM THE SERIES IF YOU READ IN ORDER SINCE ALOT OF THE SAME CHARACTERS APPEAR IN THE STORIES.  THIS IS ELECTRA AND ROGER'S STORY AND ALSO EMILY'S STORY.

ELECTRA AND EMILY ARE TRAPPED IN A TEAR IN TIME WHILE HORSEBACK RIDING.  ROGER, ELECTRA'S LOVE WILL DO ANYTHING TO BRING THEM BACK.  WITH THE HELP OF HIS FRIENDS AND SCIENTIST, HE TRAVELS BACK IN TIME TO FIND THE SISTERS. ALONG THE WAY THEY STUMBLE UPON MANY OBSTACLES IN FINDING THE SISTERS.  MEANWHILE THE SISTERS ARE TRYING TO ADJUST TO THE TIME PERIOD THEY ARE IN.  AT FIRST, THE SISTERS DO NOT BELIEVE BUT LATER COME TO REALIZE THEY MIGHT BE STUCK IN THIS TIME PERIOD FOREVER.

ELECTRA AND EMILY ARE DIFFERENT AS NIGHT AND DAY.  I ABSOLUTELY ADORE BOTH SISTERS.  I LOVE THEIR PERSONALITIES.  BOTH SISTERS WERE SPECIAL IN THEIR OWN WAYS.  I LOVED HOW THEY WORKED TO ADJUST TO THEIR TIME PERIOD AND STILL HOLD OUT HOPE THAT ROGER WOULD FIND THEM.  I THOUGHT THEY WERE BOTH LIKABLE CHARACTERS AND THEIR PERSONALITIES DREW IN THE REST OF THE CHARACTERS.  IT WAS VERY ENJOYABLE WATCHING THEM DEVELOP IN THE NEW TIME PERIOD AND WATCHING EMILY FALLING IN LOVE WITH ONE OF THE KNIGHTS.  WHEN THE SISTERS ARE SEPARATED, IT WAS SO HARD FOR BOTH OF THEM TO BE A PART.  YOU COULD FEEL HOW CLOSE THE SISTERS WERE IN CHRIS' WRITING.

I LOVED WATCHING ROGER AND HIS SCIENTIST FRIEND TRAVELING TOGETHER.  IT WAS NICE WATCHING THEIR FRIENDSHIP DEEPEN AS THEY FACED MANY OBSTACLES IN THEIR QUEST TO FIND THE SISTERS.  WILL ROGER FIND THE SISTERS IN TIME TO RETURN TO THEIR OWN TIME PERIOD?

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THIS SERIES IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD TIME TRAVEL ROMANCE FILLED WITH MYSTERY AND SUSPENSE.  EACH BOOK IS DIFFERENT WITH WONDERFUL CHARACTERS.  YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH EACH STORY AND ALL THE CHARACTERS.  I LOVE READING STORIES ABOUT TIME TRAVELLING, ROMANCE, SUSPENSE AND KNIGHTS.  I LOVE HOW CHRIS COMBINES ALL THESE IN ONE SERIES.  THIS SERIES IS A MUST READ.  YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.  4 STARS
