My Tragic Life: Prequel to the Brothers of CamelotMy Tragic Life: Prequel to the Brothers of Camelot by Necie Navone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“My Tragic Life” is the second part of the prequel to the “Brothers of Camelot” series by Necie Navone. I have to say it is a bit of departure from the a-typical one shot prequel that you are used to seeing for a series. This one gives us an up close personal coming of age story about Alessandra, the ‘Princess’ of the Canzano family. This is setting us up for the Brothers of Camelot. I would HIGHLY recommend that these are all read in order. I will admit that at first, and when I finished the first book, I wasn’t sure if I was a big fan that this was going to be a three part prequel. I really liked the first book in the Brothers Camelot and I kind of just want to get back to those stories. As it is that promises to be a long series in and of itself. But I am playing along and giving it a go. I do believe that I am a bit more of a fan after this one though. This brought all the feels to the table much as the first in the Brothers of Camelot did, and I am glad that I didn’t give up after the first book.

All that said, this one shows us more of Alessandra, this time more as she has grown into her teenage years. She still is forced to face things that are more for adults and I wanted to shield her from them. I found myself torn apart as a mother and tearing up several times throughout the story. She has to make a lot of decisions that she should never have to make, but when you are faced with choosing family and keeping them safe or the alternative, you generally are forced to make some very difficult choices. I can’t wait to find out what the next installment will bring, and where we will find Alessandra in the end. Most of all, I want to see a light at the end of the tunnel for her. Thanks for a great and emotional read Ms. Navone!

Savannah’s Saviors (The Cowboys of Cavern County Book 5) by Bella Settarra – Review by Liz Vrchota

Savannah's Saviors (The Cowboys of Cavern County Book 5)Savannah’s Saviors by Bella Settarra
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have been trying a lot of new authors lately. It is something I like to do towards the end of the year so I can build up my TBR reads for the following year, because you know we all need longer ones right? Lol. Bella Settarra was one of those I picked up as a newbie for me. I was drawn in by the cover and decided to give it a go. Don’t be alarmed by the fact that it is a fifth in a series. I had no problems reading it out of order, and it can be read as a standalone. I did enjoy it, so I will be reading the rest of them at some point in the near future.

Savannah’s Saviors was a contemporary romance with a touch of western to it. It had the sexy cowboys and the small country town backdrop. Savannah Edgerton was thrown out of her home. Things there were not the best and her past is anything but pretty. She has nowhere to go and ultimately is found wandering freezing and in terrible shape by the handsome Tom and Greg. They feel for her and are also attracted to her so decide to help her out.

Savannah doesn’t exactly know what to make of the men. She wants to trust them, but not with all of her secrets. The attraction grows, and it grows between all three. Which leads to some very steamy and thrilling scenes. I’d recommend a tall glass of something cold, and a fan nearby… What will happen when the secrets begin to unravel? Can they be the saviors that Savannah needs? Will she let them in?

Bound by Blood (Crescent City Wolf Pack, #3)Bound by Blood by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Carrie Pulkinen’s Bound by Blood is the third book in the Crescent City Wolf Pack series. This paranormal romances features secondary characters that have appeared earlier in the series: Bryce and Alexis. I like how this story is slightly different with the female being the “wolf” of the story. However, that doesn’t mean Bryce doesn’t carry a strong, typical male presence here – he certainly does. The tug and pull of these two is ever present and it makes reading the story intriguing and entertaining. Each of the books within this series have been strong on their own, but together they create a wonderful series. I do strongly recommend reading each book in sequential order to get the most from this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude, by Tee Smith, is the introduction to the Elegant series. This contemporary romantic suspense sets the stage for the series in such a fashion that is intriguing. This novella will leave questions of where the series will take the reader, but it provides the peak into where the series will look to start. The character personalities were not fully detailed, but appeared flawed, yet beautifully done. After finishing this prequel, I am now deeply curious to see where this author takes me next through the series.

I enjoyed this story and found it to be easy flowing and engaging. This is my first book by this author and I can’t wait for the second book in this series. It took me on an emotional roller coaster ride that left me feeling compassion. This is a story about marriage and the struggles that go along with it. Will marriages survive or will they fall apart? The characters bring life to the story and made me feel as if I was right there with them. I highly recommend reading their story.

Savannah's Saviors (Cowboys of Cavern County, #5)Savannah’s Saviors by Bella Settarra
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from Bella Settarra and I absolutely loved it. I loved how the characters had a very unique bond.

Savannah was thrown out of her own home and by the time Greg and Tom found her, she was in rough shape. As she began to heal, she struggled with trusting these two cowboys that saved her. After the situation in which she just lived, it’s completely understandable why she feels this way.

Tom and Greg are definitely alpha males and will do anything to help Savannah heal but soon they both find themselves attracted to her as well as she is to them. As they start to trust one another, the past has decided to rear its ugly head and test the bond between the three.

I loved Miss Settarra’s writing. This is book 5 in the series and it has completely hooked me. I’m definitely going back to read books 1-4.

This is a prequel in the Confectioner Chronicles. This book tells the tale how Hale joined the Confectioner’s guild. This book has adventure, triumphants, despair, love, and a bit of cockiness and luck! It is short, but is excellent at telling how Hale’s story started without feeling rushed or stretch out too much. I haven’t read the other books in this series yet, but I can say that I really enjoyed this story. I can’t wait to see more of this series!

Who do you trust when you’re put into a unknown environment? Wren has no one and has been an apprentice for four years in a confectioners shop. Her life gets completely turned around when the guild masters come for her. This book was a never ending crazy moment. At every point something was happening. Wren’s life was not her own after tragedy strikes twice. Man I felt bad for her. She really had no one. Then the people she did have turned on her so fast. This is a really good start for this series.

Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the futureBurning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future by Nikki Broadwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Burning Night: Where the Ashes of the Past Awaken the Future- by Nikki Broadwell is a wonderful story full of new beginnings, self-discovery, determination, strength, a little romance, some drama, creativity, and so much more. This story is a little bit different from some of the other books of Ms. Broadwells that I have read, so I was quite intrigued by what I might find. But, it surprised me and was much more than I had been expecting- as with all the other books of hers that I’ve read, this one is well written, descriptive, and beautifully detailed. The characters are unique, interesting, and quirky individuals- cleverly crafted to be entirely realistic and believable. The story has some mysteriousness to it, and moments of suspensefulness too- which really added interest that helps to propel the story forward.
I really liked meeting Collie and following her on her journey. She was vulnerability, fragility, strength, and determination all rolled into one- and even though she didn’t have it easy, she didn’t give up. She definitely developed and grew over the course of the story, and it was wonderful to watch. Dive in blind and let the author, characters and story, take you on a journey you won’t forget anytime soon.
As always, I look forward to more from this talented author!

Thank you, Ms. Broadwell!

I found this story to be creative and easy flowing. This story is about light vs darkness. Trinity is a young girl who has the ability to sense emotions from those around her.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sailors Knot by Phoebe Alexander is the fourth book in the Eastern Shore Swingers Series and oh my god I have been waiting for this book as soon as Casey’s character appears in the previous story.

I love this series and this book does not disappoint, after the recent diagnoses Casey is feeling nostalgic and remembers a time when she loved deeply and strong. Gabe and Josh were the loves of her life and because of narrow minded people the relationship is in jeopardy, but Casey is a Fontaine and knows her path in the world and because her life is not quite what her parents want she has her heart broken.

The story also delves into the lives of Paisley and Leah, who have escaped the Eastern Shore as they are having issues with their partners and get to release the difficulties with Casey who shares parts of her life with them while reminiscing the past.

I love the character of Casey she is full of life and sassy with her experiences of life, it was a shame that she has this awful disease and it was great to meet her sister Connie as well. The story-line with Leah was also great and the doubts of a new relationship and children is always a page turner. The writing is brilliant and the story is fast paced, fulfilling and just epic.

This book can be read as a stand alone story but if you read the full series you will get to understand the stories of Paisley and Leah and also understand the family they have developed and the business they run. I would recommend this series to everyone lol.

Say When (A Cedarville Novel Book 9)Say When by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Say When by Bree Kraemer is book nine of the Cedarville series. I highly suggest reading the series in order. Not only because the series is great and one of my absolute favorites but all the characters from previous books show up and reading the books in order gives you some background info.

We are welcomed back to Cedarville for Dani’s story and boy is it sweet. Dani is downright scared to talk to men outside of a work/school setting. It’s mainly single men she has a problem being around. Color her shocked when she runs into an old crush while dropping cupcakes and pies off for Wes. At first she can’t find her footing but after another encounter, she finds herself really comfortable around Patrick. While her feelings for Patrick bubble to the surface again, she’s sure Patrick doesn’t feel the same way.

Patrick knows Dani needs a friend to help her work through her fear. He can’t help how he feels about her. Patrick’s got his own issues regarding whether or not he and Dani could have a relationship. Will these two work through their issues or are the destined to be friends?

I absolutely love this series and this book is no exception. I love my visits to Cedarville. I feel like the town is part of my home now. I strongly encourage you to read this book and the whole Cedarville series.

Book 3
By Desiree Lafawn
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length romance with a twist of suspense. Blood is thicker than water, is just the beginning.

Harlow Jones is a single mother of a four year old. She works hard and her life revolves around her son. Losing her job has sent her on another path. Now she is trying to get to her interview, for a job that could make her life easier. When her son runs into Jesse, literally. Then everything moves in a different direction.

Jesse is helping his father out. His mother passed away a few years ago. Jesse’s plan was to get his father back on his feet. Then go back to his real passion. But his father is turning more to the bottle, and not helping himself. Now Jesse has to make a choice, keep the bar open or move on.

Desiree Lafawn has written one of my favorite stories. This story and series is fantastic. I love every one of her characters, and hate some just the same. This starts out just a fun calm read. Romance is in the air, until it’s not. I LOVE this story! Desiree Lafawn has done it again. Her story will draw you in and keep you there. I am looking forward to the next one in this series.

Hard as Steel Book 4 in the Surviving Series written by Virginia Wine. I really this as a standalone. Steel Archer is a difficult yet loyal man. He and his team have accomplished a lot and been through a lot. The chemistry between the characters is hot and cold, as Steel and Nichole figure out what’s going on in their lives as a couple while still maintaining their careers. As FBI Nichole has a lot on her plate and she doesn’t want all of her hard work to go to the back burner. Then there’s Steel who has been through so much then with the surprise of Grace, then Flynn’s feelings it adds new issues. Overall I enjoyed the story and it’s unique storyline.

Bound by Blood (Crescent City Wolf Pack, #3)Bound by Blood by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bound by Blood is the third novel in the Crescent City Wolf Pack series by Carrie Pulkinen. This is my third novel by this author.

Alex Gentry is a rogue werewolf that doesn’t stay in one spot for too long. She is Macey’s sister that disappeared years ago.

Bryce Samuels had an attracted to Alexis the first time he saw it which didn’t go anywhere but things change when he finds her at the hospital because her boyfriend.

Wanting to help her out her situation, he offers for her to stay at his house which he accepts even though she is reluctant. For Alexis just any a woman, and this just isn’t some common issue he is dealing with. The werewolf community is something he is in the dark about and while trying to protect him, Alexis may find out that she may have to spill her secrets.

I really loved this novel. It was refreshing for the female protagonist to be werewolf and get more backstory on Alexis. She was a mysterious characters from the first book and I was so excited to learn more about her such as fears.

Her relationship with Bryce was very fun to read. Especially with both attracted to each other but not acting on it.

Bryce is also someone I loved, he was such a sweetheart with wanting to help people but he could also be alpha when protecting people he cares about.

I really don’t want to give anything away. It was fast paced read with great characters that make you feel for them.

This is series I highly recommend and can’t wait for the next book in the series. I hope this series never ends.

My Tragic Life by Necie Navone is the second volume in her My Life series that is a prequel to the Brothers of Camelot series. The second book in her Brothers of Camelot series will be the story of Aless and Greyson and My Life series is Aless’ story – I absolutely love that the writer is preparing us for their story so make sure you read everything BEFORE their story is released as I promise you will want to!
My Tragic Life picks up 9 months after the shocking events at Aless’ 15th birthday! We follow her here over next 3 years! This next book is where Aless is truly growing up and learning and understanding what the family duties require of her. It tells the story of loyalty, revenge, friendship, loss, heartache and luckily also of hope. I am sure you will also fall further in love with Aless, with her strength, her heart and the combination of strength and softness that she exhibits.
The more the writer takes us into the story, the more I fall in love with her writing! I cannot wait for the next steps in this crazy journey she has taken us on!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Hidden Life by Necie Navone is prequel to her Brothers of Camelot series. It is a series in its own rights called My Life. I love how she left us impatiently waiting for Aless and Greyson’s story and now she has given us her story so that we would be well acquainted with her!
My Hidden Life is the first part of Alessandra “Aless” Canzano’s story. The writer has told the story of the Princess of the Canzano crime Family from different point of views that gives it a much more intensive flavour! She started training when she was six years old and became the best while all along she only wishes to be ‘normal’ (normal is soooo overestimated!). So the first volume is about Aless growing up and training and needing to hide her life even from her closest friends and family.
It tries to give us answers to “What happens when you realize your choices for your future are no longer your own? What happens when you experience just a glimpse of another life while knowing it will never be your reality? What happens when you need to walk away because it’s not the life you’re supposed to live? I cannot wait to pick up the next volume!

Imperfect Heart is book 4 of the Combat Heart Series. I absolutely love this author! Imperfect Heart has left me wanting To read more of her books. Her writing allows me to easily imagine what I am reading. The moment I started reading this book I had an instant connection with the characters that she creates and I can never put down one of her books until I have finished. I LOVED Zoe and Tim! They were both fantastic characters and I was completely captivated by their story. Zoe was so lovely; I loved her clumsiness and the fact that she got so nervous and just babbled on and on especially when it came to Tim. Here was just something about her that was so warm and genuine and you know you would love to have a friend like her. Tim was everything I have come to expect from one of her leading men; he was hot, sexy, protective and definitely swoon-worthy!! Tim and Zoe’s first meeting will probably stick in my mind of one of the funniest ever! I loved it! It definitely set the tone for the rest of the story! I recommend Imperfect Heart.

Hard as Steel by Virginia Wine is book four in the Surviving Series. This is the first book I have read by this author and though it read alright as a stand alone, I would have like to have read the others as there were many characters that Steel seemed to have know for years. The characters are incredibly complex, like Nicole for example. She doesn’t talk much about anything when it comes to feelings. She’s very head strong and concerned with her work, it’s important to her. Romance isn’t exactly on the top of her lists. The plot twists are perfect and just enough to keep you needing more. I’m definitely going to have to go back for those other books. I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Cute story, sweet and funny. This is only the second book I have read by this author however it is the first in the Glass City Hearts series. I can say that I will read the other books in this series because I really like Lafawn’s writing style. She keeps the story moving with characters that make you laugh out loud at their situations and the things they say.

Harlow is a single mother and out heroine in this story. She is trying hard to make a better life for her and her son.

Jesse our hero of this story is just trying to help his drunken dad run their bar. Jesse doesn’t even know Harlow is what’s missing in his life. He is very swoon worthy, responsibly, loyal, funny and sexy with that beard of his.

When these two first meet, Harlow’s son causes an embarrassing situation. Jesse, however, handles it with ease and grace. Again, swoon worthy!

I look forward to reading more stories by Lafawn. I plan on reading the others in this series just so I an see what the other characters are up to.

By Claire Luana

5 Stars

After reading the Confectioner’s Guild book 1 in this series it was completely awesome to go back and read Hale’s story. I don’t normally like doing this but it worked perfectly for me in this case. I was able to get a much better understanding of who Hale is and where he came from, and the lessons and the tragic losses he experienced along the way.

I really liked Hale in The Guild but spent a few too many pages completely angry at him, and although he was able to redeem himself in the end it did help having this part of his story and knowing I was right to like him so much!

I can not wait for the next in this series, there are stories brewing and I can not wait to dive back in and see what sort of adventures these characters have in store for them. I highly recommend this series and where you read this book whether before or after book one should not matter in my opinion but I’m glad I read it after I read the guild.

This author is completely amazing, I am always drawn in immediately where some books take me a few pages. I know I can always count on this author to give me something I would not normally read and make me fall in love.

Loved It!!!

I love me some backwards Christmas in South Pole, Alaska…I read Another Backwards Christmas and fell madly in love with this town and their traditions and now going back to see just how all of those traditions started was AWESOME. I want to move there, today!

This author has taken me away from real life once again and even though this story was way too short it was jam packed with content, but never rushed. I loved this story and how 2 people already together found a way to breathe life back into their town while still building on a relationship they were forming. It was awesome and I found myself picturing everything and I have it all laid out in my head…This was so much fun to read and now I am definitely ready for the holiday season to start.

Awesome book by an amazingly awesome author and I hope she writes more from this town in the future because I could spend many hours in South Pole, Alaska.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Who by Megan Mitcham is the first book in her Stalker Series, and HOLY COW what a fantastic read!! This book is labeled as a psychological romantic thriller and I couldn’t agree more. Following the story of Larkin Ashford, and her story is one that gripped me from the first page and had me checking dark corners and listening for every bump in the night. Larkin is a strong independent woman that lives for her work. When it comes to romance, Larkin would rather not. To her romance is nothing more than a messy complication that her life doesn’t need. When Larkin wants to take her company public, she starts getting threatening messages, and as the date looms closer the darker the messages become. To escape, Larkin goes to the rooftop of her building, and finds herself in the arms of a mysterious stranger. With him, she feels safe and drawn away from the troubles in her life. But who is he? Who is sending the messages threatening her and the company she built? The more that she finds out about the mystery man, the more sinister and evil he becomes. Is it better to keep your enemies closer than friends or is she just inviting the wolf into sanctum? Who will hook you form the very beginning and keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. The need to keep the lights on with this book is superior. Mitcham is a new to me author, and I am so glad that I picked this series up. I cannot wait to see where the rest of this series, and other books by her, go because if they are anything like this, I know I will love it. I highly recommend getting this book now and put Mitcham on your alerts so you can go fangirl (boy) over her new works in the future like I plan to!

The story Mad About Matt (A Red Maple Falls Novel, #1) by Theresa Paolo is an amazing romance book that I loved reading. It is a story that hooks you in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put down until I had read the final page. It is a sweet love story that warmed my heart. I loved reading about the characters of Shay and Matt. Matt is the sheriff in a small town where his family lives and he grew up in. He is a man that still thinks about the one woman who got away and he can’t ever get out of his thoughts, Shay. Shay has moved back from New York and made her dream of opening a bakery come true. She hasn’t told why she left or what brought her back. Matt avoids that bakery and Shay because of the feelings that he had and still has for her, however, he can’t avoid her anymore when a break in happens at her shop. Both Matt and Shay are still attracted to each other and their feelings/emotions for each other have never died. Will they take the second chance that they are being given? The passion between them is undeniable. Will they make sure that nothing or anyone come between them? Will they get a happy ending? Read this book to find out. As I have grown up in a small town, I love that this story takes place in one. I also loved most of the additional characters that are introduced. That they are those closest to Matt and Shay is wonderful and make the story have that feeling of home and family. There are some scenes between Matt and Shay that make the temperature rise. This is an amazing story with wonderful characters. It is the first book in a series and I now find myself wanting to read the other stories. Highly recommended reading.

Hope’s Decree (The Fated Book 1)
By: Angela McPherson
5 out of 5 stars

The story Hope’s Decree (The Fated Book 1) by Angela McPherson is a YA/fantasy/romance book. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I enjoyed reading about the background information given. It held my interest and I found the book to be wonderfully detailed so that you feel like you are right there with the characters. I loved reading about the characters of Trinity Whitebone and Blain Heros. Trinity is a senior in high school and is looking forward to finishing her final year and what is to come next. She is a girl that can feel the emotions of others in her head which can at times be overwhelming. She also finds herself feeling out of place and awkward when talking to guys. This is all the more evident when she meets Blain. She finds herself attracted to Blain and seems to be pulled towards him. Blain is a guy that when around others their emotions seem to be heightened. He has an effect not only on Trinity but on the other girls at school as well. Trinity is getting mixed signals regarding his interest in her. Revelations and danger start to present themselves. Trinity is a girl that wants to be normal. Finding out she has powers is not what she was expecting. Will she be able to learn how to successfully use these powers? How far will a group of rogue immortals go in order to control her powers? What does the future hold for Trinity and Blain? Who can Trinity trust? Will she survive? Read this book to find out. There are other additional characters that are introduced, and I loved reading about those who are the friends and family of Trinity. There are also those who you wonder about their motives and if they have a hidden agenda. This is a book that kept me spell-bound and turning pages to find out what happens next. It is wonderfully written and a story that I would recommend reading.

By: Sacha T.Y. Fortune’
5 out of 5 stars

The story Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1) by Sacha T.Y. Fortune’ is a contemporary fiction book. It is one that I enjoyed reading. I found myself hooked on the story from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put the book down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Kris and Nicole. Kris is a man who works for an ad firm. He is someone who is caring, responsible, and sometimes tends to let a lot of things land on his shoulders. He knows that Nicole is a beautiful woman and sometimes wonders how he came to end up with her. Nicole is a journalist and part-time writer. She wants to become a better mother, however, she is a workaholic. Many times, jumping at the sound of her boss’s voice at a moments notice. The relationship that Kris and Nicole have is one that has raw emotions coming to the forefront. My emotions were going up and down the entire time that I was reading about them. Communication is the way that makes a marriage/relationship a smooth one. Unhealthy cycles of behavior and words left unsaid can cause problems. Kris and Nicole have times when they are bantering back and forth while there are other times when there is silence between them. What does the future hold for Nicole and Kris? Will they find the happiness that sometimes is absent, or will they find themselves “climbing the walls?” Will Nicole keep her marriage from crumbling? Read this book to find out. There are other additional characters that are introduced in this story that I enjoyed reading about their part in the story and their interactions with Nicole and Kris. This is a well-written story that I would recommend reading.

Calling the Curveball: A Lawson Family Novel by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
Five Stars

Calling the Curveball: A Lawson Family Novel is a second chance romance by Tracey Cramer-Kelly. This is the first book I have read by Tracey Cramer-Kelly, and I look forward to reading many more in the future. This book had me hooked on the very first page, and I couldn’t put it down until I read the last page. The characters and backstory were well laid out and the book flowed so well that I couldn’t believe when I got to the end. I just wanted it to go on forever.
Jamie and Kira’s story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming at times. It had me on an emotional roller coaster that I didn’t want to get off, Ms. Cramer-Kelly’s writing style made me feel like I was right there with the characters, going through their ups and downs. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to seeing what comes nextin this series and by this author. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are looking for a great fall romance.

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Climbing The Walls is the first book in the Hart & Cole Series by Sasha T Y Fortune and what a start to the series it is. I LOVED this book. This story gripped me from the very beginning and I just couldn’t put it down (such a shame that real life gets in the way and forces you to put it down).
The main characters are married coupled Kris and Nicole Gellar. Both have high powered jobs and are very opinionated which results in a tempestuous marriage. Kris is adorable, he worships his wife and dotes on their 2 children. Nicole is a self-confessed bitch and I really struggled to like her.
As with many stories with children, their 2 kids Nikita and Khailam stole the show at many points. Nikita is a very gifted child and I loved reading her antics, always wondering what words of wisdom were going to come out of her adorable mouth.
Reading the ups and downs of their marriage was gripping and you are taken on a roller coaster of emotions going through their journey.
This is definitely what is classed as a ‘page turner’ and I would highly recommend this book.
