Tripe Dog Dare by author KS Brooks and Stephen Hise
Triple Dog Dare by KS Brooks and Stephen Hise.
There are times when the one is in a rut or wandering the desert seeing mirages and desperate for a desire to quench their thirst. Upon discovering they are mirages - poof they are unfulfilling, and one is left empty looking for a stimulating story. As an avid reader, this summer seemed to my season of mirages of not finding a book that feeds a reader’s cravings. Well I struck gold with Triple Dog Dare. I was surfing Facebook, and saw an interesting promotion for a light romantic comedy book. I observed it was written by two well-known authors with many successful books in their portfolio. Curiosity got the cat and I took the plunge.
I uploaded the book, and I can attest from page one to the last this tale was a delightful read. It involves various characters from humans to animals. The plot is a roller coaster of entertainment as the characters are all involved in suspenseful mysteries and adventures that are hilarious and complex with twists. All compelled the reader to stay up late to read. Some of the story had me laughing so hilariously, the sound of my joy awoke a 10–week-old slumbering puppy.
This tale and its plot was refreshing, one that stimulated all five senses with the twists, clichés all written in the right pretense, so that a reader is champing, scolding and laughing along with the characters, and all the mischief they all seemed to be involved in.
As a reader I do not favorite authors, I give five stars to the literature and this book Triple Dog Dare definitely deserves 5 stars.
This book is power-packed with sly remarks, clichés and refreshing perspectives of various schemes, yet written with an ease so that a reader is entertained to see what will happen next. This story was a quenching plunge of recharging. In fact after I finished this, I will go back as my puppy is sleeping and read some chapters over again as they are plotted to raise one’s spirits and open the flood gates to once again pick up a book and enjoy reading again, and let authors know they rock.
Best of all it has doggies and colorful characters and a light romantic comedy with clichés that stimulates the mind. My favorite is
“Terri chuckled. She then suggested Flashdog, about a dog who always wanted to be a legitimate dancer, but worked as a stripper to pay the bills while looking for his big break. Bianca tossed out Dog of the Dead, a book about Lo-Lou fighting a zombie-dog apocalypse. Terri blurted Pride and Prejudice and Milkbones, the same story, but told from the dog’s point of view, and with more peeing. Bianca countered with Star Dogs, a story about a young, restless dog named Lo-Luke Dogwalker who joined the rebel alliance to fight the evil Bark Vader.”
To sum it up, this is a cute and great-escape tale. It is funny while at the same time it has conflict, mystery and back stabbing, with romantic lures. All the ingredients that kept a reader
entertained for awhile. I highly recommend this book. It is written well and filled with conspiracies, schemes and of course the little white lies that spin out of control leading to a revenge sweet plot which backfires. The story is complete with delightful details and of course adorable dogs and colorful characters. All mixed in the midst of stimulating adventures. I bet you as a reader will not be disappointed with this light romantic comedy.

Cairo Caper (A Wendy Darlin Comedy Mystery) Barbara Silkstone (Author)
Cairo Caper (A Wendy Darlin Comedy Mystery) Barbara Silkstone (Author)
Description
Hot on the
trail of Cleopatra’s grave all we had to do was get from Cairo to the Temple at
Taporisis. Morning sunlight glared from the muddy surface of the Nile. Six
floors down a body in white sprawled in a splat of blood. My first official
kill as a tomb raider and it was an ashtray-rubout. How embarrassing. Professor
Roger Jolley and I were in the first trimester of our third archaeological
case. The adrenalin high of tomb raiding had become an addiction. As we sat in
the Smiling Camel Café I noticed Roger was wearing two left shoes. Brown
wingtips. We were definitely starting off on the wrong foot.
Cairo Caper (A Wendy Darlin Comedy
Mystery)
Barbara Silkstone (Author)
Author Barbara
Silkstone has done it again with her next book: Her writing is exciting,
hilarious, and a cross between Indiana Jones and modern comedy. She has
incorporated a style that compels the reader to see what wild event will happen
in the next scene. The plot and setting are reminiscent of Indiana Jones.
The story is written
with intelligent, sarcastic humor that keeps on rolling. Wendy Darlin,
archeologist Roger Jolley and a cast of billionaire oligarchs and loopy street
peddlers all race to find Cleopatra’s tomb. If you like Indiana Jones or Lara
Croft adventures, you will really enjoy a lighter look at their escapades. The
author adds in delightful descriptive details, and even some are clues.
In all
the witty journey make this a keeper, as Silkstone’s other books are. Her
writing is light reading for those moments when you need a laugh and a decent
book to pass the time and raised the spirits when all is not true with the
world.
My favorite part was
the invisible cat scratching rubbing against Wendy’s legs. Was it a hallucination
or something more?
This reader highly
recommends this book for all ages over early teens. A ‘little birdie, a
messenger and her partner the author’s cat told this reader to be on the
lookout for clues in the story to win many great prizes so be ready to play
scavenger hunt, after reading this adventurous mystery and comedy all mixed in
one suspenseful story. Clues are hidden throughout the book.
The prizes for finding
the correct answers are hidden in the story are great. They range from
an Indiana Jones fedora to engraved luggage tags, and even a pair of red
high-heel pumps.
Blog extra
A Newsflash...
I hope to send out my
first clues for things that are hidden in the book. I'll be asking a question
every few weeks. The answers are hidden in the book... like a quote from a
movie that won an Academy Award. The correct answerers get their name put in a bowl.
My cat will pull the winners names.
I will be giving away Wendy's Indiana Jones
hat, her red high heels, dog-tags (military style) with Wendy Darlin Tomb
Raider on the tags. They are really gorgeous gunmetal gray stainless steel.
Attention: Readers and Fans lots of prizes
over the coming month(s).Be on the watch do not want to miss this great book and promotion.

The Player (Two Stories Series)
http://www.amazon.com/Player-Two-Stories-ebook/dp/B00C8SX5A4/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1366753363&sr=1-5&keywords=eva+marie+paulliere
This one is a mystery, intriguing, and colorful characters, and tricky romance and conflicts. An enjoyable read, and will be updating as I pull the review together to honour all the witty, sensual and menage of trouble.
Eva Marie Paulliere, author of One Woman, and Menage a Trouble, presents the third and final installment of the Two Stories Series.
Amber, tired of her shallow relationship with her friend Cam and the pizza delivery man finds new love with Matt, a private investigator. Seeing how happy Amber is, Cam decides she wants a real relationship too. On Cheryl's advice,using the law of attraction she describes who her perfect man would be. Akiko, desperate to change her ways flies to Britain to seek the help of the last person she knows that can, Tanya, whose husband she once had an affair with.
Scott, Mark’s older, richer, and more attractive womanizing brother gets brushed off by a blonde, then shortly after meets a sexy Asian woman. A red-haired waitress takes an interest in him as well.
Parallel paths don’t always end with similar fates. While Akiko was a thorn in Mark’s side, Scott’s new girlfriend Asia may be the death of him.
I like how the author is able to take many characters, add conflict, suspense and backstabbing, forgiveness and life lessons and adversity to create a witty yet witty, not the word, a mengre of trouble as the author states. A delightful read, for mature ages.
***
Contains scenes of an explicit sexual nature, violence and some drug use. For 18+ readers only.
