Credence Woods- Alexandria Sure

4-stars

Credence Woods by Alexandria Sure is a great story about finding oneself. It’s emotional, relatable and entertaining. Kennedy’s character is one that really intrigued me as she continued to battle her darkest insecurities and tried to find herself. It took me a little while to figure out that I had previously read about Kennedy in Alexandria’s book In the Pursuit of Charity. Once I came to that realization I enjoyed her story even more than I did before! With that being said I would recommend reading In The Pursuit of Charity before starting this one in order to better understand her character.

I was so entertained by her inner ramblings as she questioned everything, however, at times I found the story hard to follow as one conversation or thought quickly jumped to another, but this didn’t take away from the overall story.

I look forward to reading more form this author in the future!

Credence Woods by Alexandria Sure is a book that I could not put down. I read this entire book very quickly because I wanted to know what would happen next.

I will definitely read more by this author. I give this book 5 solid stars.

Hard as Steel: Book 4 (Surviving Series) by Virginia Wine – Review by Heather Bahm

Hard as Steel: Book four (Hard as Steel: Book four by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Virginia Wine’s Hard as Steel is book four in the Surviving Series. This contemporary romantic suspense is Steel Archer’s story. The opening scenes in the first chapter(s) immediately captured my attention. The characters each stood distinctly apart and made me inquisitive on each of them – to include who they are, what they are doing and their pasts. These are not simple, one-dimensional characters. This story is suspenseful along with the romantic elements that are tied in. There are emotional ties, raw and hard that are being fought, pushed upon and resisted. It makes a great story for Hard as Steel, not only for this individual story, but begging the reader to take a chance on the other books within the series.

Do Not Open Until Halloween- C.A. King

5-stars

I always look forward to diving into C.A. King’s books as they take me on one of a kind journeys and they never disappoint. Just like all of her other books Do Not Open Until Halloween is a must-read fantasy novel! This was a shorter read but it was highly entertaining the whole way through. This fantasy read is action-packed, intense, dramatic, dark and so captivating. I found myself smiling and giggling from start to finish as Caitlin embarks on her very own one of a kind adventure. All of the detail in this story made it so easy to picture everything playing out in my mind, which made it so entertaining. C.A. King has an imagination like no other and I would absolutely recommend this fantasy read to everyone!

I look forward to reading more of her work in the future!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Credence Woods, by Alexandria Sure, is a contemporary romantic comedy. This story was a riot to read, but at the same time, there is a lot of self discovery that is part of this story – moving on from the past and finding who you truly are apart from any misconceptions. I could not put this story down and read it in one sitting. I have previously read several other novels by this author and this one is my favorite, by far. Talk about one sexy alpha male that you can just feel the southern gentleman vibe dripping off of him – truly delicious. Kennedy is one independent woman that wants to stand on her own, not to obligated to another man – but you can feel that something about Max just changes all of that. This story was a ride I was ready and willing to embark, completely unforgettable!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Must Have Faith, by Deborah Garland, is the second book in the Darling Cove series. This contemporary romance follows Faith and Greg, who were minor characters in part of the previous book in the series, Must Love Fashion. In Must Have Faith, the reader learns what caused the bride-to-be to bail on her wedding to the love of her life. Regrets, longing, misconceptions, second chances are what is delivered in this story. Faith is a strongly independent character, but she’s missing something in her life and that just may be Greg. Deborah Garland weaves a story of lost love, hope and renewal that is romantic and hard won. A beautiful story about how much love can truly overcome.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am not going to write a review that references anything within the story because I feel like if I “wax poetic” about the book, I would be giving something away.

I went into this book based on the cover. I had not read a blurb, I did not know what it was going to be about or the genre. If you like “blind books” this would be a good one to go with. Let it settle over you because it might take a little bit to get the rhythm down.

The story is well developed and has layers that we get to peel back as it continues. The author does a good job of plotting the story and following the thread from beginning to end. It’s the first book I’ve read by them and I will continue with the series as it is published. I have put it on my “don’t forget to read the next installment of the series” list.

By: Phoebe Alexander
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sailors Knot (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 4) by Phoebe Alexander was a steamy, emotional, fantastic read that more than showcased all the elements I love about this serie, it displays Phoebe Alexander’s superb writing skills.

I have to tell you that though this book can be read as a standalone it is part of a connecting series, with overlapping characters and storylines, so there are some spoilers in here. I will say I am a little guilty of reading this series out of order, so don’t be like me.

As I was saying, this book is a perfect fit to the series, and it is probably on of the best, but in saying that every book in this series is strong, well written and pretty amazing. But this one, I don’t know, it just has something, I can’t put my finger on it,; but it has something, extra that sets it apart for the others.

If I haven’t gushed enough, then let me tell you that this story is a tiny bit different, but still holds that magical charm. It follows Casey, the owner of the famous club. This story isn’t set in the present, but the past, her past and tells of love, loss, trying to understand what to define her relationship and pushing through those hard times. I have to say, this book will put your feels through the wringer.

Overall this book was addicting, engaging, entertaining and just plain old azming. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will love not only this book, but this series.

Happy Reading

Our Unexpected Hope- Michelle Sullivan

4-stars

Ready to dive into a romance read that’ll take you on an emotional roller coaster ride? Look no further Our Unexpected Hope is the book for you! I have previously read other novels from Michelle Sullivan, so I knew what I was getting into, yet I still found myself an emotional wreck as I followed along with Noah and Quinn. Their story is one of a whirlwind romance with so many heartbreaking moments and bumps along the way. From the beginning I felt invested in their relationship and I’m pleasantly surprised with how it all played out. I’m a huge fan of how Michelle tells the story in both main characters POV, it feels as if no detail is left out and that I’m right alongside them during their journey.

I would recommend this book and author to anyone looking for their next romance read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve read by Alexandria Sure and based on the blurb, it fit right in my wheelhouse. The story is about a woman who is at the top of her game yet still feels like she is lacking, due to “scars” from her past. It also is the story about a man who is a “southern gentleman” and knows what he wants in life.

The story line is a bit jagged at times, I feel like there was something I should know about a past relationship but don’t so it took me out of the story and made me go back to re-read to see if I missed something. I had not. Also, there is an established group of girlfriends and the story is written as if I already know their backstory. I’m assuming this book is part of a series.

This was a decent story and I enjoyed it in general. It’s a sweet romance that is a bit “too sweet” at times. I want to state that this could 100% be the mood I am in and I did not take away any points for this. It felt like the book wanted to be something darker, but the author didn’t want to take it “there”.

While this particular book is not one that I would re-read, I would read another book by this author.

Quinn is a hopeless romantic. Seeing the love that her parents have for one another, she hoped that she could someday find a love like that for herself. What she found with Noah was even better than she ever dreamed possible. Noah grew up without love or the feeling of being wanted. Shuffled from home to home in youth, adulthood gave him the freedom to make something of himself. He had all he could ever want until Quinn walked into his life and changed everything. Together, they were something wonderful. However, not all love stories are without the ultimate heartbreak. Join Quinn and Noah on their journey of love, loss and the most unexpected gift they never saw coming. Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan. Is a new book and new author to me. It is amazing book. The author’s writing pulls you in and you will not be able to put it down. Our Unexpected Hope is engaging, descriptive and flows. The characters were well developed and very loving. You feel the emotions that they go through in every day life and you are sitting there cheering them on. I highly recommend this book it is definitely worth reading!

Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan was amazing and I couldn’t put it down. I don’t know what it is about Ms. Sullivan’s books, but I have yet to make it through one without shedding some tears. In this one there were both tears of sadness and happiness.

Quinn and Noah have an an incredible story. Love at first sight and then overcoming of the obstacles that they face. Not many people would handle everything as well as they did period but to be as young as they are and still come through together and stronger was nice.

Obviously this isn’t the first book I have read by her but i have loved each of them for different reasons. I look forward to reading many more books by this talented author.

Must Love Fashion (Darling Cove #1)Must Love Fashion by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Must Love Fashion is the first novel in the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland. This is my first novel by this author.

Gwen Mallory has a lot going on with her applying to Must Love Fashion ad. Her dream comes true when she begins working for Prada. She is also in the process of a divorce and with her mother fighting cancer, she get regular mammograms. When a lump is found, Gwen has another one.

Former model Andrew Morgan is not the Manager for Prada and still grieving his wife who passed from cancer a few years before. Meeting Gwen, the new PR, was not the best meeting. He is angry and very rude to Gwen but is there a chance that this may help Andrew move forward?

When the two have to go on trip together, will the sexual tension finally have an outlet or will the two deny their growing feelings?

I really enjoyed this novel. Gwen was someone I would relate and felt she was a strong character. Not only with putting up with Andrew’s rudeness but with starting over and finding a new job in the midst of a divorce. I also felt for Andrew who was shell of his former shelf was fighting his feeling for Gwen because of his grieving and feelings for this late wife. I enjoy that conflict because I know a lot of people struggle to move on when losing a spouse and often feel guilty when they start to fall in love with someone new.

This was a very enjoyable novel that made me laugh and smile as I read. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a cute and relatable romance.

Do Not Open Until Halloween by C.A King
4 Stars

This is definitely an original story. It was kind of like Dungeons and Dragons, Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and the Wizard of Oz all rolled into one story. It is a fantastical journey into the imagination.

Caitlyn promised her Aunt Petunia that she would house sit while she went away for the weekend. Caitlyn’s friends pressured her to invite some guys over as well. Unexplainable things happen and they accidentally stumble upon a real live fairy. Having to save the fairy, they need to believe and take a leap of faith into a magical realm.

The action starts pretty much from the beginning and is quick paced. I did feel like the story was rushed at times. It would have been nice if the author incorporated the fairy a little more. I liked the underlying anti bullying theme that was happening. I enjoyed the book though I think it is better suited towards a younger audience.

Silk Road by Lynda Filler is the sixth book in the Code Raven series and is an action pack, breathe taking story.

The story is fast paced and full of action and traverses through the world with the story, the novel starts with the team enjoying downtime but Himanish is never off the clock and when he finds something happening to young children the team shifts into gear. The team have to put all their skills to the test and find out who is behind the human kidnappings.

You always know that these characters will delve into the mission and put 100% to uncover the people behind these despicable crimes. With the thrill of each twist and turn this book will have you not be able to put this story down. The style of writing keeps you enthralled to the last word and the topics brought up in this story were hard hitting and amazing to read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Credence Woods is the first book I’ve read by Alexandria Sure. I was really excited to see where this story would lead as I read the synopsis and the blurb about the author and felt this could be a truly relatable, heartwarming read.
I am pleased to say I wasn’t disappointed in Kennedy’s story. The book read quickly and kept me interested from start to finish. Kennedy is, much as I had hoped she would be, a relatable character. I love that throughout the book we are exposed to Kennedy’s inner dialogue, sometimes comical and other times just so real, giving us a glimpse into her insecurities and self esteem issues.
The secondary characters throughout the storyline are also fantastic, and we can’t forget Max. The relationship between he and Kennedy is truly real. I feel like I’ve used the word “real” so many times in this review, but to me that’s what this story is. It’s heartwarming with characters that have true depth, you are rooting for them all the while seeing parts of yourself in them.
I’ll definitely be looking into more of Alexandria Sure’s writing. Rumor has it there is a book prior to this one that introduced us to our leading lady, not sure how I missed that one but it’s definitely on my to be read list.

I have read a couple of books from this author but she keeps on surprising me with her writing. You can read this as a stand-alone but this story has prior characters that you will also love. I love a good love at first sight story but this author exceeded all my expectations. I could not put this book down. The characters drew me in right from the first page. It only took me a full day to devour this incredible book.

Quinn has always wanted a love like she reads in her books. She has always loved love. Quinn is photographer with her dad which she absolutely a dream come true. She is doing her first shoot and she runs into the most beautiful man she has ever seen. Quinn can feel an instant attraction to him. She is shocked when Noah asks her out. There relationship develops pretty fast but when you know you know. Quinn feels like this is the perfect love story for her but then they start to see the downs. Will Noah and Quinn’s love survive the devastation or will they become broken?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, heartbreak, and healing. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Quinn is a beautiful woman with a heart of gold. She wants her happy ever after. Noah is the perfect guy. He treats Quinn like a princess and all he wants to do is make her happy. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.

Touchdown: A Steamy Football Romance: The Big Apple Series Book 1Touchdown: A Steamy Football Romance: The Big Apple Series Book 1 by Alexa Summers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Touchdown is a contemporary romance novel set within the world of American football. This is a steamy read, so if you’re looking for something more subtle, this is not the book for you. The heat starts instantly and does not stop until the very end of the book. This feels like a very promising start to a series and I cannot wait to read more.

This is a full on read. From start to finish, Touchdown brings the heat, drama and emotion. Our leading lady, Lexi Driver, is a woman we all would love to be. Spending her life inside a football team’s changing room, she has seen it all. And it’s fair to say she loves it. She is a strong, sassy and sexy woman that isn’t afraid to speak her mind. I liked Lexi from the beginning, and grew to like her even more over the course of the book. Yes, she has her flaws (maybe she should have just apologised for that whole incident to start with) but she has been through so much in her life. As the story went on, I found myself really feeling for her and everything she was going through.

A sports romance isn’t complete without a sexy man to raise the temperature. Brett Brock is just that man. He had a rough start, I’ll give him that, but I have to admit I had a love hate relationship with him. While you can see why he wanted revenge, his way of doing so was questionable. I spent a good portion of the book on the edge of my seat, waiting to see if he would in fact release the recordings he had made. While some tension is good, I have to admit that this is one of the things that drives me mad when reading! I won’t spoil what happens, but I was so pleased when it finally did. This really moved the story along and finally, I could breathe again!

Overall, Touchdown is a really fantastic sports romance read. It stands-out for its steaminess as this is definitely not your average read. If your looking for a romance that offers just that bit more, this is definitely one for you.

Just shows me, don’t settle for less than you deserve… true love is worth waiting for!! Life throws you curveballs … good and bad things always happen. But it’s how you react to those things, together… is what matters most!
Another outstanding story for the books, Michelle! I can’t wait to see what’s next!! I suggest you go out and read this book ASAP… you won’t be disappointed at all!!

SILK ROAD (Code Raven, #6)SILK ROAD by Lynda Filler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Silk Road by Lynda Filler is book 6 on the Code Raven Series. I have read a few books in the series and have enjoyed reading them.

The books are fast paced and action packed. Silk Road is about children being kidnapped and either sold or used for prostitution. Luke and Luci are spending a few days in his private sanctuary in the Maldives. He has a family who stays there and does the upkeep for him. When their 2 young children are taken in the middle of the night, Luke knows he must act quickly.

Meanwhile in another area, Zach’s good friend Mike
needed help. They were all together in BUDS Training many years ago and kept in touch. Mikes daughter ran away at a young age and now she is reaching out to him because her son has been taken. He’s 13 years old and he is her life. When she calls Mike for help, she knows he’s her only chance. Mike and His daughter Katie have not spoken for about 13 years and when she finally reaches out she tells him she says “Dad, I need your help and bring your friends.”

Children are being taken all over the world but the raven group cannot seem to catch them. Things don’t add up every time they try.

Another teenager is taken but the authorities think it is an ala Kachuu which is a meeting of a bride and groom. However the parents know that is not the case.

Will the Raven Group be able to save these children and reunite them with their families while putting an end to the Russian Mob or will they be to late?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Our Unexpected Hope is a beautiful, heartfelt contemporary romance that you will not want to put down. It is so different from any romance story I have ever read before. In so many romance novels the characters are either not looking for a relationship or are totally against relationships, looking for something casual instead. This story is totally the opposite from this.
22 year old Quinn wants a relationship like that of her parents. They are so deeply in love and both worship the ground the other walks on. Quinn wants someone to be her soulmate, the love of her life and who sees her in the same way.
Noah was abandoned at birth and was moved from foster family to foster family growing up. He’s never been loved. Like Quinn, he wants to meet the woman of his dreams, fall in love, have lots of babies and live happily ever after.
When Quinn, who is a photographer, is doing a photoshoot at the restaurant where Noah works, cupid definitely shoots off a few arrows. Both Quinn and Noah fall for each other very quickly and look forward to a perfect life together. However, true love never runs smoothly and Quinn is unable to have children.
Where will this lead Quinn and Noah? Will this be the end of their relationship or will Quinn and Noah get their happily ever after?
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I loved it. It was full of emotion and takes you on an emotional roller coaster. I thoroughly recommend Our Unexpected Hope.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Enchanted & cloyingly sweet! I absolutely loved every second I spent with Wren! Claire Luana was a completely new author to me, but I can assure you this will soon be remedied. I have become enthralled with the magical writing skills that she possesses. First, I must start with this amazing cover. I was drawn in with its beautiful colors and enchanting design. Who wouldn’t want to find out what lays behind that? Given I hadn’t known the author previously, I simply went in blind, and wasn’t I pleasantly pleased!

Do not be fooled however. This isn’t so sweet and wholesome as it looks. Hence my cloyingly description. Wren is the very best of bakers. She enjoys what she does and it comes out in her baking. She loves being in her little corner of the world making her masterpieces. Unfortunately, when the Guildmaster calls you must oblige. So oblige she does. This is where things go a bit awry. As mentioned in the teaser his is poisoned and she is to blame! Why would simple and sweet Wren poison the Guildmaster!?

Well this has left her in a tortuous bind. She has merely ONE month to collect her proof that she did not commit the crime she has been accused of or else… To make matters worse she has no alliances and no family now when she needs them the most. What will she do? The journey she will take will be sure to keep you engaged and entertained well beyond your bedtime. I know it did for me. I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on the next book, ‘The Confectioner’s Exile.’ Thanks so much for such a fantastic read Claire Luana!

Do Not Open Until HalloweenDo Not Open Until Halloween by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This woman writes some of the best fantasy I’ve ever read. Do Not Open Until Halloween is no exception.
Caitlin’s Aunt tells the best stories and it wasn’t that long ago that Caitlin believed every word. The unfortunate side effect of teenage bravado has pushed those thoughts to the side and boys and school has taken over. When Petunia asks Caitlin to house sit for her on the same weekend Caitlin’s crush asks her on a date, she’s pretty torn on who to choose. Justin may never ask again if she turns him down (tragic but I don’t think he’s good enough for her) but Petunia is family and she’s already promised. What is an 18 year old to to except throw a party? The problems start when one of those creatures Caitlin doesn’t believe in anymore crashes the party and is in trouble.
King always has a way of adding to and twisting the stereotypical fantasy characters to make them new and fascinating. I will read anything this magnificent woman publishes.

Sailors Knot is the fourth book in Phoebe Alexander’s Eastern Shore Swingers series and could be read as a stand alone book without any confusion or taking away from the storyline as can every other book in the series. I do recommend reading the entire series because it’s honestly that good!
I have to say each book I’ve read in the series has been better than the last, and that says a lot because I have loved each book thus far. Sailor’s Knot is definitely my favorite though, I have been waiting to hear more about Casey and this doesn’t disappoint.
I love the way the book was written giving us a glimpse into Casey’s past and bringing us back to the present day and giving us every emotion along the way. While the story grabbed me from the very beginning and kept me enthralled throughout, I really loved the last few chapters and the way the book ended. I can officially say I can’t wait to see what more Phoebe Alexander has for us with the Eastern Shore Swingers series, it will be hard to beat Casey’s story.

Well Ms. Filler has knocked my socks off once again with one of her Code Raven novels. This is the sixth installment in the series. I have absolutely fallen in love with this series. If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading the other books in the series you should be ok with picking up any book and starting. However, I would recommend that you read them in order for a higher enjoyment of the whole series.

In Silk Road we find the team embarking on another fast paced mission. This happens to be one of my absolute favorites that they have ever been on though. In the beginning all of our characters that we have grown to love are in different places. Luke has taken Samaar/ Luci to the Maldives for a little vacation. Himanish is currently in Geneva working on a troubling and mysterious situation. Here we find out that there are children that are disappearing, and this is happening all over the place. This becomes a globetrotting mission for the team. They will stop at nothing to figure out how to squash this newly discovered sex-trafficking ring. Of course the closer they get the more danger they will find themselves in. What will happen? Can they put a stop to it or will the lives of those they are trying to protect actually be in more danger, and will theirs be over too?

Thanks so much for another fantastic adventure Ms. Filler. I can’t wait to find out what will come next!

Credence Woods
By Alexandria Sure
I fell in love with story and the characters as soon as I started reading it!! I couldn’t put this book down, I read it in one night, it worked its way into my heart and blossomed from there. Kennedy’s journey and her insecurities are what make her who she is and I felt myself invested on where she would end up. Max who is so good with Kennedy, made my heart melt at every turn. This is a wonderfully told story that you won’t want to miss!! This a must read!!! I highly recommend this emotional and romantic story.

Sailors Knot (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 4)Sailors Knot by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sailors Knot is the fourth book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. I suggest reading the previous books so you can form a connection to the other characters, but you can probably pick this up and catch on without reading them. Sailors Knot is absolutely my favorite book in this series thus far.

I enjoyed reading about Casey’s unconventional relationship adventures. Unlike some books that switch back and forth between past and present, the transitions were seamless and woven together well. I also loved that the author has addressed some of the challenges of polyamory in this book. I was so into this story that I read the entire book in one day!

Sailors Knot will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Keep the tissues close, because you’re going to need them.

Isabella’s Painting by Ellen Butler – Review by Kerry Baker

Isabella's Painting (Karina Cardinal Mystery #1)Isabella’s Painting by Ellen Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Isabella’s Painting: A Notorious Art Heist Mystery by Ellen Butler is the first book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series. Steeped in history of an actual painting that was stolen this book will take you on an exciting journey.
This is the first book I have read by this author and the first time I had heaerd of the Boston Garden Museum robbery and I was surprised by how much the author piqued my interest. I loved the idea of the book being based on a real life mystery. Karina as a character was the perfect person to fall into this book with. Her character helped to build up the mystery and suspense while also providing a bit of light hearted comic relief.
The author did really well at balancing the two while also creating a fully believable, and fully enjoyable, story. Her writing style had a great ebb and flow to it also. She knew exactly when to build the story and get you as the author involved and when to ease off a little so that it wa never too much.
Overall I found this to be an interesting read that was well developed creatively with strong characters to back up the story. I can’t wait to see what else is to come from this series and I will certainly be looking into more of the authors work.
