Felicity Found (Rogue Series Book 6)
By: Lara Ward Cosio
5 out of 5 stars

The story Felicity Found (Rogue Series Book 6) by Lara Ward Cosio is a contemporary romance book. It is part of a series that I have loved ever since reading the first story. I loved reading about each band member and I am excited to now read more about Felicity and her life with Conor. This is a book that will hook you in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put down until I had read the final page. It is a story that had my emotions going up and down just as much as the characters. The author does a wonderful job in making you feel what the characters does and the book has enough detail that I felt like I was right there with them. This is a couple that I loved reading about and this book had me empathizing with them both as they try to navigate their way through life. With Conor, this includes in and out of the studio. Felicity is a woman who has started to feel like a failure. I got the feeling from reading what she feels that she is more judgmental of herself than others are of her. With two children a hectic life is guaranteed. With her being overwhelmed will she accept the help that she needs? Conor is worried about Felicity. He finds her trying to push him away. Can he help Felicity with her insecurities? Are these two on a course that could lead to their breakup? Read this book to find out. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are in the book. Some of them have been brought forward from the other stories and it is like checking in with old friends. I enjoyed the interactions between them, Felicity, and Conor. Don’t miss out on the next amazingly wonderful story in this series. Highly recommended reading.

The story Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude (Elegant Series- Prequel) by Tee Smith is a contemporary romance book. It includes suspense and also mystery. It will have you turning pages to find out what happens next. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I enjoyed reading about the character of Denim. He is a successful businessman. He has money and power. Is that enough or does he find himself wanting more? He investigates rumors and also makes deals. Those that he employs are loyal. This is a prequel that is novella sized however the character of Denim is larger than life and the story is one that you don’t want to miss out on. Highly recommended reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It Ends Tonight (Bayou Devils MC Book 4) by A.M. Myers is another great book in the Bayou Devils MC series. OMG I have grown to love and adore these alpha men and their crazy arse women. With their fun banter and love for each other, I was so excited to read this next book. I enjoy A.M.’s writing style and find myself easily getting lost in her words. She paints a picture that enables you to see and feel all that there is in their world and themselves. There is a lot of pain and suffering in this book and a few tears may or may not have been shed, so grab a few tissues. Can they overcome the sorrow, fear and longing to find their HEA? I love the comradery that these men and women have formed and feel a part of their lives and family. They are proof that family does not have to be by blood. I can not wait for more!

I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. This story is fast paced and easy flowing. The characters are both lovable and relatable. They took me on an emotional roller coaster ride that just kept going. Fate puts Lucas and Quinn in each others path when a truck runs a red light. The problem is, their meeting opens up old memories that could turn lives upside down. Will they survive what life is throwing at them? I highly recommend reading this book to find out.

This is a series I highly suggest you read from beginning to end to get the full effect of these characters. In this book we get to see more of Felicity and Conor’s life. Felicity is feeling a little overwhelmed with being a new parent and the feeling of being a failure as a wife and daughter. So many emotions with this book, I couldn’t put it down. They have been through so much together and you just never know what else life may throw at them. I highly recommend reading this book.

This is a short story that is a great start to a new series. Denim is learning to find his own way in life. He is a powerful man who has to learn who he can trust and that everyone has a price but somethings can’t be bought with money. He is a character we really don’t get to know that much about, hopefully in future books we will. I enjoyed his character as well as the others and they made the story flow. I highly recommend reading this book, will he find something more valuable than money?

Redemption (Ash Park, #5)Redemption by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Redemption by Meghan O’Flynn is book five and the last in the Ash Park series. I have spent so much time in Ash Park, and I am sad this moving, engrossing, mystery filled, series has come to an end. O’ Flynn was able to grab me from book one till this book. Each book getting better and better and this ONE truly blew me out of the water. The crime coming back to haunt Detective Petrosky, connection to the Looking Glass Killer bringing up so much while Petrosky still dealing with his grief and must finally put this case to rest SOLVED! There are times I want to slap Petrosky but this book, showed me again shows me just how much I have grown to love him. He is a broken down man who has had to deal with such pain and tragedy. This man and all his grief are thrown into a case and investigation that will make him face his past and his pain HEAD ON!
I fully can’t put into words how much this book and this series have stayed with me and will continue to stay with me. Meghan O’Flynn delivers each time, and makes me want to read all the books in one sitting. I am addicted to her suspense, her strong characters, and her amazing writing. I am so sad to see this end and truly hope that one day we get to visit Ash Park again. I highly recommend this series, this author, you WILL NOT be disappointed.

This YA fantasy hooked me on the first page. C.A. King is quickly becoming a “go-to” author for me. King’s books are well-paced, richly detailed, and allow the reader to fly off into a whole new world. This story is another winner. Although not long in page number, this is another King story that is riveting and solid. I loved every minute I spent in its pages.

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

I loved this new short from C.A. King. I had no idea what to expect going in other than it would be a great read from a author I have grown to love. This was probably my absolute favorite book from C.A. King yet. I was hooked from the very beginning in with Aunt Petunia’s story in the prologue.

“Fairies are born from emotions and wishes,” Petunia explained. “When you blow a bubble, you fill it up with all you are feeling. That’s why there are different kinds of fairies. Have you ever noticed if you are in a bad mood and blow a few bubbles, you start to feel better? That’s because all of that turmoil is released inside the bubbles.” She poked her niece in the tummy.

Caitlin giggled, Wiggling away.

“Those fairies aren’t the nicest, but on the flip side, if you are celebrating a birthday and are happy, all that joy goes into the making of a different fairy,” Petunia continued.

“What if they pop?” Caitlin asked.

“Oh,” Petunia replied, shaking her head. A serious expression crossed her face. “Many of them do. That is why fairies are so rare. Only a select few float off into the clouds. It’s there that life begins, but that isn’t the end of the struggle for a new fairy. Any bubble that reaches the greatest heights and floats back down has within it the beginnings of a new fairy- magic dust. You’ve heard of fairy dust, haven’t you?”

From the prologue we fast forward to when Caitlin is eighteen years old. Aunt Petunia is no longer the favorite aunt with the magical stories. She is now a recluse bestselling author only socializing when work requires her to. She lives on the outskirts of town in a creepy house with two cats. One day Aunt Petunia stops by and announces that she has to leave for a funeral and needs her to watch her house. The only problem with that is the guy she has been hoping to land some time with before graduation chose this weekend to finally ask her to hang out. When her friends convince her to have a secret get together at the house surely it wont go well for many reasons.

Here is where I really loved the way this book played out so well. This was a wonderfully crafted story, and one that I enjoyed at thirty-three but, I will be adding it to my list of books to share with my eleven year old. This has a great underlying message of anti-bullying. The situations are realistic and yet are done in a way that is appropriate for multiple audience levels. It is fun, engaging, and magical. I felt very much like I was reading a Harry Potter novel. That good magical feeling that you have when you open one of those novels. I don’t want to give away too many more details. For those you will have to buy this for yourself. I wouldn’t wait for the Halloween season either, enjoy it year-round! This one will need to be on my bookshelf! Thanks C.A. King for a wonderfully, magical read!

Redemption: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 5) by Meghan O’Flynn

5+++++++ Stars for the book, the series and this amazingly awesome author.

I actually only read the last 2 of this series and am so hooked I can’t even tell you, I will have the first 3 and actually think I might want this whole series sitting on my bookshelf next to some other authors that write in this genre, I won’t mention their names but you would know who I was talking about if I did mention them. This author deserves to be right next to them and for some of the writing in these stories Id say she even bypassed them, so yeah Im thinking I will add this series to my Christmas list so that I can read it from the very beginning and what a great excuse to read the last two all over again.

I don’t even have the words to explain how I feel about this book…The name this author chose is so spot on and I couldn’t wait to read it, after finishing Hidden I wasn’t quite sure what I would be walking into but I just knew that this author would take care of it and she did not let me down. Oh, thats not saying it was an easy read because it wasnt when some details were explained or we got to hear from a totally different voice, it was those times I just wanted to crawl through the kindle and beat the tar out of someone.

I truly love Petrosky, he’s not easy to love but I absolutely do, and Jackson, simply awesome!! I wasn’t sure at first but that didn’t last long.

I just don’t know what else to say without going into this long drawn out review full of spoilers so I think it is best I just stop and tell you to pick these books up, don’t start on the 4th like I did, go back and read them all, I can tell there’s a lot I missed, although it didn’t hinder my ready at all I still know I must have them all.

Brilliant storyteller, I read it in less than a day, and I will read every book this author writes, she is now firmly placed on my favorites list of all time.

Personal Disclaimer: Make sure that everyone from a spouse right down to the fuzzy little creatures are taken care of because once you start you cannot quit these books.

Hooray, hooray the gangs all here!!

Ms. Filler did not hold back and punches with The Raven Group. Luke was planning some R&R for Samaar/Luci and himself on some remote little island where they can get some R&R and some romance as well. Guess who plans got postponed! That’s right The Raven Group. They are on case to find a missing teenage girl. This will be a great case for them because it has corruption written all of over it. With Ms. Filler’s book they get better and better. This one was off the charts. I cannot wait to see what she has in store for The Raven Group next.

Eternal Bloom by A.E. Gamrat – Review by April Johnson

Eternal BloomEternal Bloom by A.E. Gamrat
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After her mom ends up in the hospital, Gwen knows nothing will ever be the same. She has so many questions and so few answers.
Will her mom survive? And if she does, will the tension in their relationship ease?
Will Kame come back for her?

No one knows the answers to all of life’s questions; Gwen’s only option is to hold on as the storm rages on around her.

Eternal Bloom by AE Gamrat is the second book in this series. I would highly recommend reading New Bloom before reading Eternal Bloom. Eternal Bloom picks up right where New Bloom ended. This is my second book by this author and I enjoyed reading both of her books. I truly enjoyed this duet. I found it to be a really accurate and great coming of age story. Just like the first one I found this on a page turner. I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to see what else is available from A.E. Gamrat. Thanks for a great read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Graduating college and knowing how the next chapter of your life will play out is a big deal, right? How

much more could someone ask for?

Gwen has always followed every rule her mother gave her. With her future planned for her, she never

really had the time for fun or boys. Never really learned how to let loose, go with the flow.

What happens when all the plans she thought were laid out for her are pulled out from under her feet?

Add in the mysterious man that pops into the flower shop stirring emotions she has never had before,

and she is in for the ride of her sheltered life.

Growing up is hard, and Gwen’s in for a growing experience she never planned on.

New Bloom is book 1 in a series from author A.E Gamrat. This was the first time I have read from this author. I highly recommend this book as well as book 2.
The storyline and the characters was amazing. New Bloom is a book that u can easily fall in love with. I can’t wait to see what happens in book 2. have loved, you have a great storyline, brilliant characters and book that you can’t put down. A.E Gamrat has made this book easy to read and flow from chapter to chapter. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading Coming of Age books.

This suspense/mystery book will have you gripping the edges of your book or kindle. This is a super fun twist on the classic whodunit. The murder mystery plot to this book is very vivid, full of details and I was constantly switching up my guess as to who the killer was. However, once the ending came around, I was in complete shock and I loved how it was pulled off.
The writing is very smooth. This reads like a dream. You easily fall into the depths of the book and when you look up again, hours have passed and you don’t even know it. This book is well worth your time and effort. I loved every inch of this book, and plan to read it again soon.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series just keeps getting better and better. There are surprises at every turn. This book is well written and just as exciting as the rest of the series. It is also just as twisted and gruesome as the other books as well.

Detective Petrosky is an amazing detective, father and person. He is a human. He has made mistakes from the beginning of book one. But he is human. He loves with his whole heart, but he won’t tell you that. He’s tough on the outside and even tougher on the inside. I love that he is a larger type man, with common health conditions. Doesn’t everyone love granola bars!?

I also love the return of certain characters from previous books, especially Shannon Morrison. Watching her change from the hard as nails prosecutor into a loving and caring mother was an interesting twist. Knowing that some of the characters get closure, if not their own version of a happily ever after, makes this book a fantastic finish for this series.

I highly recommend this book as the perfect conclusion to the Ash Park series.

When I read the prologue for this book I thought I had already read it. There was something so familiar about it and then I realized that this is based on the daughter from “Our Next Chapter”. I was so happy.

This is a quick and delightful story. It moves fast so pay attention or you might miss some the romance. This is a book that has no angst, lots of goodness and a few tears.

There is not one bad thing I can say about this story and I don’t want to give anything away so I’m just going to advise you to read “Our Next Chapter” before “Out Unexpected Hope” you will love them both.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Plot by Melinda De Ross is a suspenseful and haunting tale. I was hesitant buying this book, due to its content, but I’m so glad that I did. Yoko’s story was an incredibly harrowing tale to read, that took me on a roller coaster of emotions. Don’t let the romance fool you, this is a tale of suspense, mystery, drama, intrigue, and revenge. Yoko was abducted from Japan and falls prey to a human trafficking organisation that forces her to give up her innocence to the highest buyer. After escaping her world of nightmares, Yoko swears revenge on the man that ruined her life, and the life of many other young girls. On Yoko’s journey of revenge, she meets Mark, and things couldn’t be more difficult for Yoko as she grapples with the horrors of her past. This book was extremely emotional, and made my sick in the pit of my stomach. The way De Ross described the horrors that Yoko and the other girls went through was harrowing. I was so emotional and devastated whilst reading this. To know that these stories aren’t just fiction, and that human trafficking is still a prevailing issue in our society. I really loved this book for the way it made me think, and absorb the story it was telling. I highly recommend it, to anyone that wants to read a challenging story, that isn’t your classic romance.

Yoko is a very intriguing strong willed character you can’t get enough of. She has a plan to take down the people who stole her youth and innocence. She doesn’t plan to fall in love, especially with her past. This book has suspense that will keep you at the edge of your seat. The story of this book is so powerful and so passionate. I wanted to hear more about Yoko story the beginning and even what happens after this book. She is a character you will love and just want to be friends with and help her through all her struggles. The author has a great writing style that is so beautiful. I can’t wait to read more or even just to read this again.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Plot by Melinda De Ross is a pretty unconventional romance. Some of the subject matter may be difficult for some readers. This book was a very emotional book. In the beginning of the book it was easy to keep some distance especially due to the topic. Once the story moved in favor of the heroine you could feel the whole story shift.

Yoko and her best friend finish high school and come to America with the hopes they can get good jobs and send money back home to their families in Japan. She didn’t expect that she would fall victim to human trafficking. The girls manage to get free but Yoko feels like she needs revenge. While Yoko is working out her plan, she meets Mark who offers her a good job and it seems a little too good to be true. Can Yoko let herself trust Mark and believe the good things he is offering?

I was glad the beginning of the book glossed over a little bit the harrowing experience Yoko had. The book was suspenseful though knowing Yoko wanted revenge for herself and other girls like her. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how she would go about her revenge. I had hope for Yoko and Mark. She had a horrible past but he felt for her just the same and I really hoped they’d both be able to work passed it all.

I enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it.

Another action filled adventure in the Code Raven series. This is book six and this time the Raven Group is trying to save the world from a sex trafficking ring. Between China, Kyrgyzstan, London and the United States, we travel the world again. With the help of Himanesh, they locate the whereabouts of the missing children. It’s personal once again when two of the children were kidnapped from Luke’s personal hideaway in the Maldives. It is a fast paced book that will have you racing towards the end. I was happy to see Luke and Luci trying to take a vacation even though it got cut short. It would be nice to see them open their hearts and jump into a relationship.

Our Unexpected HopeOur Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Our Unexpected Hope is a hugely entertaining novel by Michelle Sullivan that kept me riveted for hours. It was highly emotional and I don’t know a couple that managed to adapt to the life changing situations the way they did with the many struggles they had to endure.

Quinn meets Noah and that is the end of it. There is no one else for her. Him either. It was love at first sight. Their journey was a whirlwind and their lives were chaos and bedlam, but one thing remained steady, strong and unbreakable. Their bone deep love for each other. A love like theirs, burning with intensity and endlessness, is enviable and rare.

Michelle Sullivan wrote a beautifully created tale of never ending love. A love that withstands every test thrown at them, amd comes out the other side stronger and deeper that ever before. 5 stars

Eternal Bloom (Bloom Duet Book 2) by A.E. Gamrat – Review by Angela Shirley

Eternal BloomEternal Bloom by A.E. Gamrat
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eternal Bloom by A E Gamrat is the second book in Gwen’s story and the relationship she is wading through with her mother.

Gwen’s relationship with her mother has been quite torn in the previous book and this book shines a light into how broken it was and what happens when something happens which rocks that connection and how Gwen will deal with that situation with her mom being ill.

Also Gwen is not sure about the relationship with Kame, they have a connection but there are secrets in his history, but also his communication is not the best and will put a strain on the relationship. Will Gwen be able to deal with all the relevant issues in her life?

The story like the first one is well written, with some thought provoking subjects which are brought up. The story concentrates a lot around the in thoughts of Gwen and although this is a great prospective to be in sometimes I think the story was stunted and took a while to get going again. I loved the strength that Gwen had although at times she felt she lack the courage and strength to deal with the issues.

I would recommend these two books as a great coming of age story.

New Bloom (Bloom Duet Book 1) by A.E. Gamrat – Review by Angela Shirley

New BloomNew Bloom by A.E. Gamrat
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

New Bloom by A.E Gamrat is a great young adult story, this story brings the elements of life and no matter how hard you try to plan your life you will always be surprised how you eventually end up.

The story revolves around Gwen and her life after graduating from College, she has always followed the rules and her mother’s wishes which has left her little time to truly enjoy her life to the full. She has had her life planned out but has never really enjoyed experiences as she has always been focused on the end goal.

So when she starts living life she becomes confused and uncomfortable to the point that she feels she is losing control and sight of her goals which throws her into turmoil.

I enjoyed the style of writing and the fast pace nature of the story, I felt that it took a while to get into the book at the beginning but once I started to get invested into the story it was brilliant. I loved the two characters and the contrast between them, Gwen being very naive and sheltered to Kame blowing her world and throwing into a whirlwind of what she believed she was destined for.

Do Not Open Until Halloween By C.A. King
4 Stars!!!!

This is such a great read! I really like magic related books and this certainly filled the bill.
I was drawn into the book from the get go. The author has such a refreshing writing style that
I didn’t want to put the book down.

I was really drawn to Caitlin’s character. I like the fact that she was sort of a rebel but really
deep down she was the good girl her aunt knew she was. I like how she needed to believe in the magic for it to work. I am a crazy cat lady so I really loved how the cats were more than just familiar. I also found that the relationship between Caitlin and her aunt is quite special. I really found this to be a really nice change of pace. There was just enough drama included as well. I found it really interesting that the magical realms were created by writers and more over that their books were the worlds histories. I like the fact that the author focused on Caitlin being her aunt muse and that unbeknownst to her she also helped to create part of the magic realms. The villain being her creation.I really found this book to be a great read and I really look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
