Self Love is a tale by T.L. Clark that I would highly recommend reading this story that needs a pick me up. TL Clark is becoming one of my favorite authors. Clark has a way to work you the reader into her story by making one of her characters seem just like you. This story is no different. Molly is the main female character. I identify with Molly. She is a hot mess at times. In the second chapter Molly thinks about a former employee: “We weren’t exactly bosom buddies. I didn’t expect him to contact me. But Please don’t lie and pretend you miss me.” It is this that tone that kept me reading to the end. I have to tell you that I am not going to tell you much more because I do not want to say spoilers. You will have to read the story and enjoy Molly.

Fisher of Men was my first book by Phoebe Alexander and it was worth of 3.5 stars out of 5. I have a like/dislike relationship with this book, it was the one subject of the book that drew me in but the other subject wasn’t something I normally read about and because of that I didn’t feel a connection with the female lead. The writing was well written but I have to admit some of Leah’s backstory I skipped over and I didn’t care for the scriptures at the beginning every chapter. I did like that Mrs. Alexander took a chance at showing two different people from totally different worlds coming together and building a relationship. You don’t see too many romance books take this big of a risk in its subject matters.
But this book isn’t going to stop me from reading the other books in this series. Like I said, one subject matter caught my eye and I would like to see where Mrs. Alexander takes the other stories within this club.

The Jack is the second book in M.K. Harkins’ Immortal series and I recommend you read it straight after finishing the first book as then everything is fresh in your mind and you might be a bit disappointed in Archer but … this is his book, his redemption, his journey … Archer is a Jack … and he is a Reader … he is a hybrid that is caught between two adversary races … and then there are the Seers … the avenging hunters of Jacks and protectors of Readers … and who is Archer? It will all come down to what he chooses … The Jack is also Sadie’s story … Sadie who is pure, kind-hearted and … destroyer or Jacks! What a contradiction – gentle heart and a cold hearted killer …. How does one reconcile it? What will happen when Archer and Sadie’s paths cross … who will survive … is there a way for them to be together … do you dare to open yourself up and be gifted with friendship and love … I hope it will not be the last book as there is so much more that the writer could grace us with … I have a whole movie running around in my head!

Self Love: A British Tale of Woe and Wit by TL Clark was not what I was expecting if you know what I mean and I’m actually glad it wasn’t.
Molly was a funny and wonderful woman who needed to learn her self worth. I could so relate to her and her issues with body image and not feeling like she was enough. Her experiences were interesting and some were amusing while there were a few that broke my heart.
Though I like the way it ended I could have seen this going in a much different direction for Molly.
I have not had the pleasure of reading anything by Ms. Clark before but this was a great introduction.

Fisher of Men is Book 1 in The Eastern Shore Swingers Series From author Phoebe Alexander. This was a brilliant steamy read that had you captivated totally compelled to read until the very end. This is a totally unique romance read.
Even with these books being part of a series, they can all be read and enjoyed as stand-alone. This is my first type Swingers themed read, and the synopsis was really intriguing, so I took the chance and I’m so glad I took it. I was learning about the lifestyle along with the main character Leah Miller. There are great details within this read, that make it even more captivating and intriguing. I loved Leah & Chris ‘Cap’ Sheldon from the start, they have chemistry from the get-go that continues to grow throughout the read, but can Leah stop the struggle she has with herself between her religion and sexuality and follow her heart with Cap and her desires? I loved reading Cap and Leah’s story I loved watching them evolve and Leah experiencing and learning new things all the while having a strong, alpha male taking her along on the journey.
Along with the main characters we have some brilliant secondary characters that really stand out and help make this story progress further, and I can’t wait to read some of their stories.
This is a brilliant start to what I think will be an incredible series, with brilliant characters, steamy passionate relationships and epic storylines. I can’t wait to read the next.

Fisher of Men Eastern Shore Swingers #1 by Phoebe Alexander
4 stars!!!!
I have to say that as this is a slightly different romance genre than I am used to I was well impressed by the authors creative way of bringing it to the reader. I admit it isn’t a lifestyle choice I would make but I came into this book with a very opened mind and wasn’t disappointed.
The whole chemistry between Cap and Leah is definitely unique. I like how the author did get a bit of drama written in. The whole religious conflict Leah feels I can so relate to with all be it a slightly different situation but nonetheless it brought it home for me. I like how the author addressed this with Mary. This book brings an alternative lifestyle to light and the author has a very refreshing and unique way of dealing with the subject. I would probably read more of this series in the future even though it is something I would never consider but I can always get lost is the books.

This is going to be one of those series that will get me in trouble. Firstly, I must say I was blown away that this is Blake Blessing’s debut novel. Girl has some writing skills! I am an avid fan of reading alternate lifestyle romances because usually they are intricate stories with layers that you just don’t find in a one on one relationship storyline. That said, this is also a difficult thing to write and can make or break an entire story or series. This was absolutely not the case here! This was flawless, emotional, and gripping. There was just the right amount of slow burn romance between the parties involved with the bonus additions of paranormal twists to keep you extra intrigued.
Isolde Bardot is not your average naiveté lead female. She can hold her own, and really she needs to because when she gets into the wrong Uber she will have to handle a whole new world and all its complexities. There is never a dull moment for her between her ‘Lusty Legion’, confusing and realistic magic, and different realms? I was so bummed when the book ended, not a killer cliffhanger, but enough I will be anxiously on the edge of my seat awaiting the next in the series now! Thanks for such an amazing adventure Blake Blessing!

O.M.G. This book has even more feels than book one! In order to read this book, you should really read book one, Our Next Chapter, it’s not absolutely necessary but will make the relationships throughout the story so much better. Quinn is the main character in this story. She is the daughter of Karalyn and Dez. Their story is book one.
Quinn and Dez’s relationship makes me sigh because who doesn’t love a good dad and daughter situation. And then I have to laugh out loud. and often! But the real love story is between Quinn and Noah! Holy Hotness those two sure know how to cause some serious steam!
Quinn and Noah start off hot and heavy and right from the start they feel their connection. Their connection is almost too good to be true, but they don’t fight it. They love it and each other. Their journey however is not all rainbows and roses.
Sullivan must love knowing she causes readers to cry. Actually, this story was very close to an ugly cry, but Sullivan reigned it in and created an unbelievable heart fulfilling story! I wish I could give this story more than 5 stars.

Deadly Alliance: A Fortis/Purgatory Crossover Novel by Maddie Wade ~ India Kells
5 Stars
Take 2 awesome authors and put their names on one book and you end up with Awesome overload. I love both of these authors and when I saw this book I was so excited and they once again did not let me down.
This was an awesome merge, Fortis and Purgatory and the amazing people that work for each. This was a smooth read and falls right into everything else as far as the style of both of these authors.
This story had just enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat and one of the twists totally floored me, I was like NOOOOOOOO that did not just happen.
I absolutely loved it and all of the characters are still among my favorites and I was even able to meet a few new ones.
I highly recommend this and every other book both of these authors have out.
Self Love is a standalone romance novel that follows Molly as she learns to love herself and who she is. Written in first person, the author chooses to have Molly speak directly to the audience, which really helped build a relationship with the character. This book had me laughing out loud at moments and was really fun to read. If you need to indulge in a little self-love yourself, this is a must read!
Molly is such a relatable character. She is struggling with various different issues, all of which are real concerns for real-life women of her age. What woman hasn’t worried about her weight, career or relationship status? Molly is real, which is what makes her so loveable. Seeing her character develop of the course of Self Love was fun and stirred a lot of different emotions in me. The narrative is so brilliantly written, especially the way Molly interacts with the reader. There are some hilarious moments in this book and I found myself giggling multiple times throughout Molly’s story. But this book is also packed full of some heart-wrenching emotional moments. Molly has been through a lot and is still dealing with some issues that were hard to read about. The author handled these brilliantly and with so much respect; this is what kept me reading! I also loved that this book was set in the UK. A home-grown romance is always something I’m looking for!
This is also one of those reads that makes you think and reflect. While Molly is trying to love herself, I found myself thinking about my own issues and how similar they were to Molly’s. Ultimately, this was an uplifting and inspiring read and one that I know ill stay with me for a while. Self Love is definitely a read I will be recommending to others!

Self Love: A British Tale of Woe and Wit by TL Clark is an easy read an a great way to pass a few hours. The book is about Molly, a florist who is hoping to be able to change her ways in order to find happiness. It is a story that most will be able to relate to in one way or another as there isn’t ever a person that hasn’t questioned things at one time or another. The story to the story is a bit awkward I found. It felt a little difficult to get through and to engage with. However I am pleased I stuck with it as for the most part the story was enjoyable and it even had me laughing at times. I especially liked that the humour was very British. Being British myself I find it appealing when I come across a book that has this type of humour to it. All in all a good book.

“Self Love” by TL Clark is a lovely story about an overweight, unhappy woman named Molly and her challenges in life. Molly owns her own floral business and is always around very happy brides to be which tends to bring her down as she can’t find love herself. Add in an overbearing mother who can’t say anything nice and general low self-esteem and Molly is a bit of a wreck. Molly is a very relatable character who says so many things I’ve heard many woman, including myself, say before. Her struggles are very real and honest and that makes her quite lovable to me. I found the story to be a less raunchy “Bridget Jones” type story filled with fun British terms and written almost as a diary. TL Clark’s story is one I believe many women could benefit from reading as the moral is the title and that self love is necessary and important to us all. If you like a sweet romance, or if you struggle at all with loving yourself then please read this book! I give “Self Love” by TL Clark four stars!

WOW!! What can I say about Fisher Of Men by Phoebe Alexander? Fisher Of Men is the first book in The Eastern Shore Swingers Series and what an opener to the series it is. This book is on fire it’s that hot. Fisher Of Men tells us the story of Chris ‘Cap’ Sheldon and Leah Miller. Chris and Leah couldn’t be any more different it they tried. 27 year old Leah had a very strict religious upbringing in Nebraska, being the daughter of a minister. She has very firm religious beliefs. She is now working as a manager in an upscale hotel ‘The Pearl’ in Ocean City. It is while working at a charity event in the hotel that she first meets Cap. Cap is a 42 year old, divorcee who runs a fishing business. Leah discovers that Cap and all those attending the charity event are swingers. As much as she’s attracted to Cap (who can’t love his amazing blue eyes and dimples?) swinging goes against everything that she believes in. What follows is a beautifully written story of Leah’s sexual awakening. We can really see her struggles with her religious beliefs and by how turned on and exhilarated she feels by watching and participating in sexual encounters with several people at a time. It also shows us how 2 people with such different backgrounds and beliefs can overcome everything to find true love. I must add that this book is definitely for a mature audience due to the sexually explicit content. I have to say that the sex scenes in this book were hotter than anything I’ve ever read. This isn’t the first time I’ve read work by this author and I have to say that I’m becoming a huge fan. If this first book in the series is anything to go by then I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. I already have books 2 & 3 waiting on my kindle for me to dive into.

5 out of 5 stars Our next chapter written by Michelle Sullivan is an amazing love story about misunderstanding, love at a young age that lasts a lifetime and new beginnings and secrets. I had so many different emotions reading this book I laughed cried and I was also pissed at what the main characters had to go through, but they were strong and made it. The characters Karalyn and Dex are amazing and well written and I could relate to Karalyn on some level. They became best friends in elementary school. They fell in love in high school. They were soul-mates, with their future planned and nothing to stop them. Sounds perfect, right? WRONG…not every love story ends with happily ever after. She hated Dex the boy who broke her heart but she can’t stop loving him. It’s been 17 years since she’s been home; now she’s back and that boy who she tried to hate for so long is promising her a future again. But Can Karalyn trust Dex again? Is he for real that he didn’t know anything and that he was trying to protect her? Is it possible to put the past behind them after so many years of pain? Can they begin another love story that never really ended? Or is it better for both of them to finally let go for good and close that chapter in their lives forever? I know my review is kind of vague but I didn’t want to give any of the secrets away but you really need to read this amazing book…. By Tracy review by @tracym

This is an enjoyable story from two great authors. This story has a little bit of everything in it from sitting on the edge of your seat suspense to nail biting revenge. Shane and Emme took me on a journey of building bonds and facing dangers that they may not be able to see coming. I enjoyed both of these characters and the growth of their friendship. Will they break each other’s barriers and realize that they are better together? I highly recommend this book to find out what happens to them.

Our Next Chapter by Michelle Sullivan a five-star read you will love. This is a great second chance romance and yet another great read by this author, she is an author who has the talent to surprise you, as you start the story and its good, but slow burning and then you start to care about the characters and you start to really get to know them and then boom suddenly it’s become one of those books you cant put down and you have to finish, you have to read every page like it’s the last. Karalyn and Des have a great friendship and that runs through the story making it deeper and deeper, it’s the best type of friendship the one where you can go for ages without speaking and then pick up where you left off, it takes work but has a great base. Because of that this is a great story and you will adore it like an old friend.

Joker’s Fool by Manda Mellett a five-star read that will fool you. This is the eighth book in Satan’s Devils MC series, but you can read it as standalone without missing any details, but if you are like me then you will want to go back and read them all as they will be as well written as this story is. This was a beautiful story, but I do know that not everyone will enjoy this as it is a M/M romance and I know not everyone finds them as hot as I do. This story will have you shedding a few tears and also a lot of smiles, you will be blown away and compelled to read. Joker is a character you will care about before you hear his whole story and once you hear it you wont just care you will adore him.

Fisher of Men by Phoebe Alexander a five-star read that will swing you round. This is the first book in the Eastern shore swingers series, and what a series, I did this one backwards and read the other books first then came back to the beginning, so I knew what to expect, hot, heavy and full of steam. What would you do if the man you fell in love with was the opposite of everything you have been led to believe, this one will have you wondering what choice would you make, would you have a hot a life if you did? Leah overall is a great character, but she did lack something, but where she meets Cap and them together, that is just pure magic, the chemistry is off the charts hot. This series starts with a bang and just gets better. I think this series may just be my favourite by this author, and this is a very strong story in the series.

This is the fifth book in this series and can be read as a standalone. This is a Contemporary Western Romance story that I enjoyed. This is a story about trust, faith and second chances. I enjoyed how this story pulled me into a world of hot, steamy cowboys. The emotional roller coaster that they took me on as well as the twists and turns that I didn’t see coming kept me turning pages. It was great watching the characters grow into their own. I highly recommend this book.

Yet again another amazing story in this series and from this author – she never fails to impress me with her brilliant and captivating writing, characters who are fantastic and exciting, gripping storylines. I’m going to be honest I am not a huge fan of m/m stories; they are just not a genre I particularly enjoy however I did really enjoy this book. Yes I’ll admit I skim over the parts I’m not overly keen on but it didn’t take away for me what a wonderful read this was. The story detail was rich and the characters were well developed. This story could be read as a standalone however I would really recommend that the rest of the books are read as there are recurring characters and situations. I really liked the characters in the story and having seen them in previous books I was looking forward to finally finding out more about them. I felt such a connection with Joker and my heart literally broke for him. The author took me on one huge roller-coaster of emotions during this read. I absolutely would recommend this book, series and author – I don’t think you will be disappointed!

Sound of Love revolves around Nina and Chris. Nina is a smart England girl and Chris is the lead singer of a boy band. Nina is every 16 year old girl obsessed with a band/singer. Tracking down his phone number, Nina class Chris and so their story begins. The banter during the phone calls is cute. Face to face, Chris is a class a jerk. While Nina may be book smart, she is not so smart in the ways of love. the story line was okay, but for me it moved too slow. Chris was just not a likable character for me at all.

I give Fisher of Men (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 1) by Phoebe Alexander, 5 stars.
Leah Miller was born and raised in a very religious family. Her parents raised her to finish school, get married, and have children, all while keeping in her faith. But she doesn’t feel like this is her. So she sets out to be her own woman. Then she ends up in Ocean City, Maryland and meets a man that I changes the way she sees things. He is very open with his sexuality. This is new to her, and exciting at the same time. But what about her faith? This is the opposite from everything she was ever taught? Is it okay be free and open or is it a sin?
This is the beginning of the Eastern Shore Swingers series, so this story has lots of sex and multiple people having sex. Although Leah is very religious, this is not a book about religion. Okay, now that the formalities are over, I will give you my opinion. I loved it!!! Yes, there are a lot of hot and steamy scenes, but that is not what makes this book. It’s the characters that really make it!! Leah and Chris are so much fun. Yes, they struggle, and they each have issues. But they are so real and know how to love and have fun too. The things that happen in this book will keep you reading until the very end. I thought this book was so enjoyable and entertaining, I cannot wait to read more in this series!

Marks of the Mazza: Reverse Harem (Mazza Series Book 1) By Blake Blessing I will admit this is the first reverse harem book I have read and I am so glad I decided to go with it. I love the diversity in all the characters involved. This book drew me in from the beginning and kept me captivated throughout. Isolde was just getting by, working two part time jobs and going through the routine of life as a loner. That all changes the night she accidentally gets into the wrong vehicle that she thought was her uber. She is suddenly thrust into a world of magic and she’s told she is the “Mazza” which is the answer to the Fennine/fae, they believe she can bring great change. As Issy is trying to wrap her mind around this huge responsibility and learn their ways, there are also people trying to hurt her. I found while I was reading I was being taken on many different directions, I wasn’t sure who is good, Who is bad? Which is awesome!! Just when you think you might have a grasp there’s a twist in the plot and I found myself rethinking what I thought I knew. I loved the different angles and how bits and pieces of information were revealed. I found myself invested in these characters, I so badly want the lusty legion to be the good guys!! I absolutely loved reading this book, i just couldn’t put it down, and now I’m going crazy waiting to read the next one!!! The author did an exceptional job creating a wonderfully well written story that captured my attention!! I highly recommend this book!!

I have to be honest- it took me a minute in the beginning to warm up to Leah and Cap. Leah just seemed a little stand offish and prim, and Cap kind of a player who thinks he knows better than her. I’m glad I stuck with them, though. They kind of grew on me by the end. For a very steamy start to a series, and a unique kind of romance, it was a slow build. There was a lot of self-reflection, and some serious drama near the end. This was one of those books that slowly turned into something I couldn’t put down, and now I really look forward to the next!

This is the second book in this series and is a Young Adult story that is engaging and fast reading. This book is about finding the truth for someone who needs to learn to believe in themselves. The characters took me on some twists and turns that left me sitting on the edge of my seat and just waiting to see what was lurking on the next page. It was great seeing Archer’s story even if he is a little insecure about himself but he is still my favorite. I highly recommend this book.

This is one of my favorite books by this author. A story of love and the struggles that life throws at your relationship. I enjoyed how the author’s attention to details made me feel as if I was right there in the room with the characters. Lauren and David are connectable characters as well as lovable. I enjoyed their chemistry and the instant bond they shared. There are a few twists and turns that I didn’t see coming and I couldn’t wait to see what was next. I highly recommend this book.

Deadly Alliance is an exciting Fortis/Purgatory crossover novel by Maddie Wade and India Kells. When I heard that two of my favourite authors had got together and written a crossover novel, there was no questions asked, it was a no-brainer, I just had to read it!! I love the Fortis series by Maddie Wade, as well as the Purgatory series by India Kells- so the thought of combining the two was incredibly exciting for me. I must admit that I had a lot of expectation for this book and I am happy to say that the authors didn’t let me down- although I don’t exactly know what I had been expecting, because I went in blind, but they delivered much more than I had hoped for. From the gorgeous cover, to the incredible writing, to the action-packed and gripping storyline, and the fantastic characters- this book has it all!!! This is a romantic suspense- with action, adventure, emotion, danger, thrills, intrigue, mystery, undercover ops, drama, intense chemistry, tension, serial killer, teamwork, spice, and romance. The authors managed to hold the tension and suspense at an elevated level throughout the book- which kept me guessing and had me flipping pages to find out what happens. The brilliant twists and surprises also elevated the thrill level up several more notches. Shane Rhodes and Emme Wallace are highly skilled agents from the two different teams, who find themselves undercover and posing as a married couple in the hopes of flushing out a serial killer, whose body count is mounting. As one of the victims is Shane’s best friends’ little sister, the investigation has a personal aspect that drives Shane- and he’s determined to hunt down the killer. But the mission is a bit more complex than just solving a murder, testing them, and resulting in some electrically charged moments, intense action, and heart-racing suspense- that makes this story soar!! The authors styles compliment one another, as I couldn’t tell which parts were written by whom. The story was polished and really well blended, and the whole thing felt like it had all come from one mind- which is testament to these authors writing skills and compatibility. I am hoping that these two will team up for more crossovers/stories in the future, because this book works on so many levels and I love how the two worlds combined! But in the meantime, I will continue to devour everything that they produce, either individually- or together!! Brilliant!!!

Fisher of Men was a great 5 star read and book one in the Eastern Shore Swingers series.
We have Leah who is an innocent in many ways, she is working as a Customer service person at a hotel. When she meets Cap at a party that she is working she is shocked to hear exactly what kind of party it is. Although, the lifestyle is a litte intriguing to her.
Leah ends up in a relationship with Cap. You go girl! We get some steamy scenes from them. I really enjoyed reading their story and there were some interesting twists that caused some issues for them. Will Leah be able to accept the lifestyle?
Leah was a little different, coming from a small town she was experiencing a lot of new things, and she was very hard working. Cap is of course in the lifestyle but when he saw Leah something about her drew him in. If he finds “the one” he would be willing to give up the lifestyle, will that be Leah? Can they have a HEA?
The secondary characters added a great element to the story. Phoebe has once again pulled me right in with her writing. I really like the quotes at the beginning of each chapter, they are great. The ending was great, I was a little nervous at first, I wasn’t sure exactly what was going to happen. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in the series, I need to see where things are going with these two.
