Some things even a billionaire can't buy.

Dalton Raines always gets what he wants, and the first time he steps into Superbia Springs, he knows he wants to buy it. There's only one thing standing in his way: Noah.

For the first time in his life, Noah Turnstock felt safe, living with his friends in the old mansion they'd inherited. Finally he's in a place no one can take away from him.

Until the house catches Dalton's eye.

Dalton knows the way to get Noah on his side. He knows how to wine and dine a man like this, to get him so wrapped up he'll agree to anything. Except...he's never run into anyone like Noah before.

It was supposed to be seduction. Then it turned into something more.

When a visitor from Noah's past shows up, he realizes he will never be accepted into Dalton's life. And when Dalton's family meets Noah, their reaction could lose Dalton everything.

They can't have each other. They're from different worlds. But their hearts say otherwise. Their hearts say they can have everything they want. 

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Rachel Kane's More Than Everything, the second book in the Superbia Springs series, is fantastic. 

Damn! There is disgusting homophobia in this one, right from the start. I was livid and fully invested immediately. Honestly, this is small town life at it's finest, full of controlling townspeople and those who just want to be included. 

This story revolves around a mansion and the fight for it's future. And what a complex fight it is. After meeting in opposition of the house's future, Dalton and Noah set upon a relationship of their own.

Not only are Dalton and Noah complete opposites, with vastly different backgrounds, the differences between Dalton and his brother are fabulous. And in the end, Dalton's talk to his brother about what he wants for his future struck me. It's extremely poignant and very touching.

As for the romance, it's definitely sweet and beautiful. The relationship between Dalton and Noah is fantastic. I enjoy the way it develops, as well as the way both men help one another in the end. 

The character growth in this book is fantastic. Dalton is a man who has always allowed his family to push him around, and yet in the end, he finds himself. Seeing him discover his passions is wonderful. 

The writing is excellent, with intriguing characters and some fabulous character growth. There are plenty of side characters who add to the story, and the hotel is it's own character, fully brought to life by the author. 

More Than Everything is a wonderful addition to the Superbia Springs series. It's a wonderful journey towards finding love and a purpose in life. This Rachel Kane book, and series, is perfect for any fan of small town romances.

Length: 211 Pages

Blurb

As he approaches his fortieth birthday, Justin Warfield feels alone, drifting like the sand that blows along the beach near his family's hotel. He has done exactly as his father wanted. Married the right girl and carried on the family tradition of running the Warfield Hotel. On paper things seem perfect, but happiness hasn't been a part of his life for a very long time.

Marcus Drummond once spent a summer with his best friend Peter at the Warfield Hotel and fell hard for Peter's much older brother. Five years later he's back, and this time he hopes that Justin will see him as more than his kid brother's friend.

Sparks fly when the two meet again, but there are a few things standing in their way. The closet that Justin has himself buried in and someone on a killing spree, dumping bodies on the Warfield beach . . . victims that indicate Justin may be involved in some way.

REVIEW

My Rating - 4 Stars!

I am not a huge fan of mysteries, but I found myself really enjoying Drifting Sands. This CJ Baty novel may be a mystery, but it's more of a light and fun mystery, thus keeping my attention and having me enjoying it.

There are men being murdered around Justin's hotel, and they are all his ex-lovers. Is someone framing him? Marcus happens to be there at the time and he's thrilled as the sparks fly between him and Justin, as he's been enamored by him for years.

This story contains a fun mystery, some light angst, and a nice romance. It's well written, with a fun plot and a nice, light tone, despite the deaths taking place. 

Justin and Marcus may want to be together, but it will be a tough and crazy road. They have to deal with the murders, the suspicions around them, an crazy soon-to-be ex-wife, a father who forced Justin into the closet, and the issue of coming out. And, of course, the mystery isn't over yet, as this ends in a cliffhanger.  

Drifting Sands is my kind of mystery, and I will be checking out the other books in this Warfield Hotel Mysteries by CJ Baty.

Author Bio

C. J. Baty lives in southwest Ohio. Her heart, however, lives in the mountains of Tennessee where she hopes to retire some day. The mountains have always provided her with inspiration and a soothing balm to the stresses of everyday life.


The dream of writing her own stories started in high school but was left on the back burner of life until her son introduced her to fan fiction and encouraged her to give it a try. She found that her passion for telling a story was still there and writing them down to share with others was much more thrilling than she had ever expected.


She has a loving and supportive family who don't mind fixing their own meals when she is in the middle of a story, and a network of friends who have encouraged and cheered her on in her quest of being an author.


One thing she has learned from life and she is often heard to say is: “You are never too old to follow your dream!”
