With a warm, clear production care of Helen Avakian and Scott Petito, these songs come to life through the speakers. What really jumped out at me was the musicianship. Muse's Muse Buckley's debut effort is a sincere set of acoustic folk rock, elevated by mature arrangements and the self-professed late bloomer's weathered vocals. Creative Loafing 'It's About Time' is a perfect mix of strumming softness and lyrical attitude. Combining an approach that's similar to Paul Simon and James Taylor, each track is intrinsically simple--yet as you listen further, each element of the composition becomes clearer, showing a complexity of the arrangements brought by his supporting cast of musicians. Throughout the album, Buckley has hints of the rusty growl of Springsteen, the storytelling abilities of Eric Clapton and the freshness that brings 'It's About Time' full circle. Combining classic elements, with a sense of sweetness and vulnerability, Bud Buckley has made an album that will surely last through time.

Combining classic elements, with a sense of sweetness and vulnerability, Bud Buckley has made an album that will surely last through time. Hit Sessions The first thing that caught my attention is Bud Buckley sounds like Bob Dylan. I don't necessarily mean his musical style; Bud's music has an air all it's own. What I meant more was, his voice. It's light and comforting, trailing above the guitar chords. His sound carries me away to warm summer afternoons spent lazing in the grass. His voice is smooth and soothing. I really enjoy it when an artist takes the time and effort to share the lyrics to their songs on the inside sleeve of the CD covers. I love the freedom to follow along as I listen to the songs for the first time. As a multitasker, this fulfills my every desire when it comes to checking out new tunes. I can concentrate more on the feel of the music if I can simply read the words in front of me rather than try to strain to listen to them; not that it's necessary to strain to identify the words Bud Buckley is singing--he's crisp and clear throughout the entire CD. Beneath the song titles, before the lyrics begin, there lies a short description, or explanation if you will, of the song and it's inspiration. I find that intriguing because I get a little insight into the artist and where their head was when any particular song began to take shape. I have never noticed this personal touch before, but it certainly keeps me wishing every artist would do the same. Then again, Bud Buckley is a very personable kind of guy. I have to admit; the cover photo of this album threw me just a tad. Most musicians have huge imageryof themselves on the front cover, or their band's logo surrounded by lewd images or words. Bud showcases a family of Bonobo apes. Bud BuckleyBud took the time to share some history on the Bonobo with me during the interview. Bonobos are loving apes that never fight for food; they actually give love for it. Rather fitting for the front image when you think about it, but it isn't something you would expect! Befitting of his humility, Bud's own self portrait resides quietly on the backside of the CD awaiting your gaze to reach it's hiding place. It's not flashy. Beautiful blondes do not surround him; it is just Bud and his guitar. Simple. Neat. Fitting. On his website, BudBuckley.com, he speaks of his track 'Sister Mary Confusing' quite a bit, while centering on the fact that it has evolved from his experiences growing up in Catholic schools. I see how 'Sister Mary Confusing' could actually be an analogy for a lot of life's little kickers. While it's a good song, a catchy tune, it wasn't my favorite on the CD. 'First Time Home' is one of my personal favorites. The song evokes a feeling that is restful and heart warming. Toss in the lyrics and it all but makes you cry--I have to admit I got a little teary eyed. Bud has a way of bringing you 'into' his songs with him. You feel the music within your soul as the lyrics carry you off into memories of your own. He truly has a way of touching you. Track number 3 on 'Feel My Love' is 'Windswept Girl'. This song grabbed my attention from the start of it with it's melodic rhythms and catchy beats. This is the kind of song where a girl can close her eyes and picture herself as the main character within. I had been listening to this track over and over when my 12-year-old daughter caught a few bars from the other room and demanded to take the CD into her room for further examination! I did manage to pry it from her CD player later that evening to finish my review. Ageless, timeless, and without generational bias, Bud Buckley and his music reach out and grab everyone everywhere. The theme that seemed to carry through the entirety of the CD was the melodic riffs that seem to drift effortlessly in the background. The foreground beats seem strong and as if they were the structure of the music. Delightfully peeking out from behind are background melodies that carry their own weight almost in spite of the foreground sounds. The creativity that goes into making each song unique and original shines through 'Feel My Love.' Kudos to Bud for stepping out of the box, rather than following the crowd of what some might consider 'cool' and 'hip' within the main stream, Bud takes his music by the reigns and puts it into perspective for all of us. 'Feel My Love' has now been confiscated by my teenaged daughter, but I am sure that she will allow me to borrow it from time to time in order to lose myself within Bud's smooth vocals and addicting guitar riffs. I recommend this musical entree to all. Beatz Hall of Famer.

I love indie authors
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying—writing a book is HARD! Coming up with characters so real that they take on a life of their own, building an entire world, the political/magic system. Designing all of this is no easy feat.
That being said.
This book had so. Much. Potential. I was so excited to read this book, and I plan to finish it for the sake of finishing it. But. At this point, I would have set I’d aside as a DNF. The book could have benefited from some form of a developmental editor, or an in depth beta reader. I will say this. Within 5 chapters, there are so many… phrases that I’ve highlight that I’ve latched onto. Phrases about books and storms that were written BEAUTIFULLY! So, bravo Linton for hitting the nail on the head as to why readers disappear like they do!
However, 5 chapters in and I can already guess where a majority of the story is going. But that’s also because I read like a mad-woman and have read this particular type of story, many different ways. Enemies to lovers where the FMC isn’t who she thinks she is. I am all about supporting indie authors. BUT. I also feel like criticism should be constructive, and not degrading. So if I could give this book a 4 1/2, strictly because I know the work the author put into this, I would. So if you’re looking for an easy read with characters that aren’t hard to follow, look no further! They are easy to love and easy to care for. One of the biggest issues they lacked, to me, was depth and plausible reactions to their situations. JD, you have done BEAUTIFULLY writing this book. I applaud and will continue to buy your books in the future. My BIGGEST recommendation is to definitely hire some form of an editor for any upcoming books. Or in turn, I will be happy to beta read for you. Should my opinion change of the book by the time I finish, I will happily get on here and say I was wrong, delete this review and post a different one. Until then…

this book set my soul ablaze! <3
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
"i had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and i was grateful to see another calm morning."
this book. this book!
i loved the last storm so much. the writing style. the descriptions. the world-building. the characters. the plot twists. the tropes. the sexual tension. the—everything. everything was magic.
the last storm follows our two main characters, ara and rogue, giving us dual POV from both characters (which i loved, btw). ara, a human girl who has been locked away in her father’s estate most of her life, just wants to see the world. all she dreams of is seeing what else is out there. but when her father announces her engagement, she knows that dream will become nothing more than just that—a dream.
rogue, the fae king, is tired of the attacks being rained down on his people. in hopes of finding out the human king adon’s secrets, rogue infiltrates auryna’s borders. in his last resort to gain information, he visits the local pub. to his surprise, the general’s precious only child is sitting at the bar, drink round after round of mead. now he just needs to figure out how to take her without anyone noticing.
first and foremost, let’s talk about the endless list of my favorite tropes and aspects that this book had.
›› enemies to lovers
›› fated mates
›› one bed
›› the chosen one
›› elemental magic
›› actually good and shocking plot twists!!!
›› badass female lead
›› morally-grey love interest
›› fae/human war
›› force proximity
›› touch her and die
›› who did this to you?
›› captor/captive
›› praise k!nk (panting profusely)
“you are entirely the opposite of everything that i am, and i would gladly wear your shackles if it meant i could have you.”
it’s been a long while since i read a book i liked this much. but i just loved this book. it set my soul ablaze. thank you to the author for writing this beautiful story and for blessing me with an eARC! i loved it so much that i immediately bought the paperback upon release!
every aspect of this book was just beautiful. i was blown away by the way the world was described, the way feelings were portrayed, the way the elements were used in the fae’s magic. it just—AHHH! i just absolutely adored it all. i cannot wait for the second book to release next year!
also the way he calls her “little storm” sets my heart on fire.
this was a fast-paced read and if you are a lover of acotar, fbaa, deal with the elf king, or any other similar books, then please stop everything you’re doing and read this book right now. you won’t regret it.
thank you again, jd linton, for giving me the privilege of reading your arc and for blessing this world with the world you created. <3
"something about him pulled me in, like a moth to a flame, and it felt as if i was just waiting for the inevitable burn that came with flying too close to the fire."

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best.
To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn!
The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL.
THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo.
The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters.
Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes.
I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book.
Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that.
I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice.
This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
