My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Claiming Her Mates: Book One: (A paranormal shifter romance series) by Dia Cole, 4 stars.

Havana is just surviving. She never thought she would be stripping for a living, but it’s what she knows and she’s good at it. When a possible epidemic breaks out, she doesn’t know what to make of it. Then to make matters worse, three men who are hot enough to melt the North Pole walk into the club looking for her. They want to take her away, to safety they claim. Then they say they are doing this at her ex’s request. Should she really go with them? Is it really that bad? What does her lying creep of an ex want with her? And why is it she wants all three of the men who came for her? What happened to her resolve?

This is a great beginning to a series. It features many things that promise to be a hot and exciting series. I really like Havana. Down on her luck and no one to celebrate the holidays with, she is disheartened. But the men arrive, bringing excitement and possibilities with them. The men are great too. Each one is different but all appealing in their own way. Even if you are not big on multiple partners, you can understand where Havana is coming from. Although there is the constant struggle of each of the characters and their feelings, there is also the action of what is happening to those with virus. Plus the men having to obey both their alpha male and the sadistic Alpha female.

A hot paranormal romance with multiple partners, I highly recommend this book to those not afraid to read something different.

A Frothy Christmas KissA Frothy Christmas Kiss
By: Allyson R. Abbott
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Frothy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is a sweet light hearted read, that shows how one misunderstanding, and lack of communication can derail an otherwise pretty straightforward situation.

The fourth book in the Christmas Kiss series we follow a new set of MC’s, and their journey towards that cheesy Christmas love we’ve all come to know and love. I will say that as much as I did enjoy this read, it was a little slow moving at the start, and that misunderstanding lasted way longer than it needed to. If i was in that situation I would have asked, right away what Dan situation was. I wasn’t digging the whole childhood best friend thing and his inability to take no for a answer. There are some just bridges not worth saving, just let it burn to the ground.

Outside of that, this story matches the rest and has the same detailed and polished writing from the other books. The characters were pretty okay, a little too dreamed up on the looks department, but otherwise they had pretty solid personalities and in the long run felt real to me. I love the steady progress between Kat and Dan, even if I wanted to slap both of them more then once. Believe me when you read this… and you will..you are going to want to slap them as well.

Overall this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. It’s a light hearted, super cheesy read that will get all those good feels and, warms fuzzies turning.

Happy Reading

Leaving Jackson Wolf By P.A. Kane

Four Stars

I’m seriously scared to have teenage boys now after reading this. I didn’t I could be more freaked out about my kids growing up. The author put this in a male POV and it was an eye opener. I have read plenty of books were the male is lead. But this is a teenage boy. There thought process is so weird and dangerous. They bond over the craziest moments. Jackson was low key nerdy. He was also adorable. I felt he learned and grew a lot throughout the story. Everyone that came and left his life had a purpose in being there. This was a good story that shows a kid going through life and making all the mistakes we make as kids. This was my first book by this author and definitely not my last.

Souls Collide (Collide Series #3)Souls Collide by Kristina Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Souls Collide: Collide Series Book 3 by Kristina Beck is a fantastic and touching story that
will hold you captivated and enthralled. It captivated both my heart and soul right from the
moment two beautiful souls met and boy did they certainly collide. I was fully invested in
these wonderful characters and their stories and loved, loved, loved their witty banter. There is a lot of emotions in this story and I for one felt every one of them right along with them from overwhelming joy to moments of sorrow and horror. There is never a dull moment and there is plenty, plenty of drama.
Alexa is strong, sassy and full of charm and loves those close to her passionately. Kent angry and has built solid walls of protection due to loss and a disease that has changed his life. Somehow the charming and beautiful soul, Alexa calls to him and maybe, just maybe she will be the one who can heal him.
This story has it all. Passion and drama, humor and suspense, darkness and light, compassion and healing and is a must read!

What started out as revenge turned into to love. This addictive romance was passionate and sweet. I loved Soumya and Vir as they grew as a couple in this novel. The drama kept the story fast paced and easy to get lost in. The main characters being from a different culture also had me fascinated. I really enjoyed this lovely romance.

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 (Boxed Set) by Phoebe Alexander is a steamy, unique, original collection, that will hooked you and will have you binge reading the weekend away.

As I have already reviewed these books separately, I’m going to give you a highlight from each.

Fisher of Men
“Man oh man, this book is, wow. I mean, you need to go into this series with a open mind, but this book. Wow. I’m kicking myself for not reading it sooner. Oh why am I all up in arms about this book.. well my friends, I’m not going to tell you cause there is just so much that needs to be experance for the first time, that telling you anything will ruin that delightful experience. ”

Siren Call
“This story was unique, but still no different then reading a romance with F/M romance. We all fall in love the same way, and this book not only showcases that but elevates it. I think it was because there was none of the super alpha male thing going one, and there was less stupid decisions that lead to misunderstanding. (You all know what I’m talking about). It was refreshing. ”

The Catch
“I have to tell you that, I really like Paisley as the lead MC. She’s a mature woman that has some immature tendencies. Strong, smart and not seeing the great storm that she is, we get to witness her ups, downs, and of course, putting a, to her, a shameful past to rest.”

As the a whole this collection is worth your time and energy, there are more books to this series, but these three is where it all starts and as I said, a must read. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get sucked into this fantastical world.

Happy Reading

It is also about forbidden love in the eyes of others, doctor/patient, age and best friends daughter. But as we know love has no boundaries and it doesn’t discriminate, love is love and not one size fits all. Virgina has once again cleverly woven and written a story that will make your heartache and shows real and raw feelings. It is a story that has drama and passion, loss and love and finding your one but in the midst of loss so great, that you feel deep in your soul.

When he is asked to take on a new patient he finds himself suddenly feeling things he has never felt. He finds himself succumbing and his control slipping whenever she is around. Will he give in to temptation or will all his moral codes to fly out the window?
It is a great start to the series and I can’t wait for the rest.

Beats of the Heart is the first book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series by Charli B. Rose. It is an amazing start to the series and is her debut book, people, debut.. It is a romance friends to lovers story where there is friendship and love, heartbreak and loss, heartache and second chances.

Dawson and Izzy are have known each other since childhood and transcended from friends to lovers and had the world at their feet. He the Rockstar and she trying to find her way to what she loves, art. But I went from loving him to wanting to make him hurt. Charli has brought to life, two wonderful characters who wove their way into my heart and their relationship is so emotional that it pulled at my heartstrings. It is an emotional rollercoaster ride and I am left with mixed feelings as I feel somethings were left unanswered with the way it ended. What it the mystery that now surrounds Izzy? I hate cliffhangers. I need the next book. I want answers now! Look out world Charli has arrived!

Forgetting Ophelia: A Novel By Julie C. Gardner. I knew I’d probably really like this book but I definitely ended up absolutely loving this story. Lia’s character is just so realistic and relatable that you can’t help but cheer for her. There’s a lot of raw emotions written into this story that makes it one I just couldn’t put it down. The emotional journey Lia takes is one I won’t be forgetting anytime soon. This is my first book by this author and I’m excited to read more soon. It’s well written, at some points a bit on the slower side but it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the story. I’m giving this book a four star review and highly recommend it to everyone.

How incredibly sad. To lose so much and then learn that your life is a lie. I hope to never experience what Eden does. Theo was a jerk at first he was real and didn’t lead females on but man he was a douche. I’ve never felt survivors guilt or the pain of losing a parent. From the authors words alone I felt their pain. This story was well written. The characters were developed greatly and were relatable. I happen to prefer older men so I understand Eden’s attraction to Theo. I think the author balanced the light moment and the sadder moments really well. This story is definitely worth the time it took to read.

Hope's Defeat (The Fated #3)Hope’s Defeat by Angela McPherson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Hope’s Defeat is the thrilling conclusion (third book) to The Fated series by Angela McPherson. This book (and series) is in my top reads for this year and definitely one of my all-time favourites, ever! I adore this spellbinding fantasy- it has everything you could want in a riveting read, and if you love your fantasy/paranormal- then you are in for a real treat. The book has incredible paranormal elements, a bit of a twist on Greek Mythology, a Curse, Immortals, Gods & Goddesses, Light and dark, good vs evil, mystery, drama, destiny, action, adventure, suspense, danger, intrigue, magic, and romance- it will also keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you guessing the whole way through. This incredible story is woven around the legend of Pandora’s Box and it’s a wonderfully original and exciting read! As I said in my review of the first 2 books, this story/series definitely has a ‘Percy Jackson’ feel to it, and would definitely make a wonderful and exciting television series.
This story picks up 3 weeks after the intense events of the previous book. Trinity feels an enormous amount of guilt over what happened and blames herself. She feels like she’s let everyone down, especially Blain, as she wasn’t able to prevent what happened. But when events unfold, and Trinity is given the chance to be normal, will she take it- or embrace her fate?
GAH!!! I sooooo love this book/series soooo much. I really don’t want it to end!!! This book, being the conclusion, was the most intense and had some intense suspense and gripping action! It was also steamier than the other two books, as Trinity and Blain’s relationship matures and evolves.
The characters are really superb- so well developed and brought to ‘life’ by Ms. McPherson- they are fully realized individuals with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. They were so believable, and continued to mature, grow and develop as the story unfolded.
I really hope that this won’t be the last that we’ll see of these wonderful characters, and that we will get to revisit them again in the future!!!
As I’ve said before- Pure perfection!!!!
I CAN NOT WAIT to see what Ms. McPherson does next!

Thank You, Ms. McPherson!!

If you are looking to read about someone’s sexual adventures, you need to read this book. Brad is our main character and he likes women. In fact, he likes having sex with women. This book gives us five escapades with Brad and other women. They are quick reads. They are steamy reads. Some are even taboo. These stories had no real plot other than Brad’s bed post notches. I can recommend this book to those readers that need a quick and sexy read.

Paranormal Romances are something that I haven’t read in quite some time but, Claiming Her Mates by Dia Cole has reminded me of why I use to read these books. This wolf shifter romance story kept me entertained with the suspense and mystery – I’m not crazy about the zombie part, that’s just me. (So I am not holding that against my review.) But the characters were so likable and swoon-worthy, that I want more.
The Romance Reader in me loved the chemistry between Havana and her men (Mason, Gabriel, and Liam). And don’t get me started on the steamy sexy moments – so yummy! This might have been my first book by Dia and I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next.

This is the first book I have read from this author and she blew my mind. I absolutely love Paranormal Romance but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of a new series and I can’t wait to see what happens next. You can’t help but to fall in love with all of these characters. I was drawn into this story on page one. The story takes you on a journey like no other. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible book.

Havana is ready for the holidays but her friends are telling her that they can’t go to her party. She is sad but more turkey for her. Havana is finishing up her night at work but then three very hot men come looking for her. She is afraid that they are cops so she runs but she runs into danger. Havana has discovered that the new flu vaccine is turning all the humans into some type of monsters. She came very close to becoming a meal but one of the men saves her life. Havana now has to depend on Gabriel, Liam, and Mason with her life. She notices that something is off about them but what? Havana gets to know these men and she starts to develop feelings for them. Who will Havana choose and will they find a cure for this epidemic?

I absolutely loved this book. The story line has it all; hot romance, suspense, and mystery. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Havana is a very strong woman and she knows what she wants. She is not afraid of speaking her mind. The men in this book will make you swoon. They have their own personalities and you will fall in love with all of them. Gabriel is moody and dark but he treats Havana like a princess. Liam is beautiful and very humorous. Mason is a sweetheart that would do anything to make Havana smile. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your toes curl. This talented author will have you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what will happen to these unforgettable characters next.

India Kells delivers a cast of characters that are detailed original with heart-stopping qualities. The Debt Collector touches on topics that some wish to avoid, but the way the author handled them within this story was well thought out and not overly done to cause distaste within the story. Truly a great story by an author that can deliver again and again.

Being the 4th book in this series, it must be said you have to start at the beginning with book 1, Savage Collison. These stories all build on one another and must be read in order.

Storm ia so hard on herself and after all shes been through, she should be allowed some of it and theres no timeline for your feelings.
I can’t say much more on storyline as I cannot give anything of this story away. But I will say I loved these characters so so much and as always, where’s there’s Hawkes, there’s drama and danger!

Forgetting Ophelia by Julie C. Gardner is the third book in the Friendship and Secrets series. I have not had the pleasure of reading the first two yet but after reading this one they have both been added.

Ophelia, who goes by Lia, is so much stronger then she gives herself credit for. After a less than ideal childhood, she has had a pretty good life as an adult. That is until it comes crashing down one fateful night.

She has amazing friends and I loved her uncle. Her mother was similar to my own and for that reason I felt a kinship with her.

She does so much growing emotionally through out the book and I would love to see how it continues. I was a little disappointed in the ending at first, I felt like her story wasn’t finished. I then started thinking about it and what happens next and realized it could end the way I wanted it to.

A great read about trust. Havana has the worst day at the strip club she works at when a man falls sick with the new virus and the apocalypse begins in front of her. Rescuing her from it all are three handsome and mysterious men who are just as deadly. Can she trust them to lead her to safety?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Havana standing up for herself but caring underneath or Liam as a gentle giant.
I loved the use of the senses throughout the novel like the smell of the corpses/zombies, blood and fire or the sounds of bones crunching and popping as if you were actually there. I also loved the visual detail of the grandeur of the vacation house later on with the statues and strange furniture that seemed Gothic style from a horror story.
The shift in perspectives for chapters worked well to display all sides to the story and was easy to follow. I loved how the story started straight into the action to grab the reader from the start. Fast paced action and high stakes in a sci-fi fantasy world made for a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

I really liked Havana and I thought that she was a strong female lead in the story.

I’m quite content with how it ended as far as the storyline and how this author wrapped things up, I’m just so very sad that it’s done.

I have sincerely enjoyed Katarina and Chase’s journey, it was definitely a bumpy ride and wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows. Through all the other things going on in the stories you could actually feel how their relationship was building and progressing and the push and pull just made them stronger.

This author has definitely become a favorite of mine and I was so happy to see that Jenny is getting her own story and that our possibilities of seeing Chase and Katarina again are quite high.

You truly must read this series but don’t do it out of order, trust me you need the whole story!

Loved Loved Loved it and can’t wait to re-read this in the future.

Claiming Her Mates: Book One: (A paranormal shifter romance series) by Dia Cole – Review by Sara Oxton

Claiming Her Mates (Claiming Her Mates #1)Claiming Her Mates by Dia Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Claiming her Mates by Dia Cole a four-star read you will want to claim. This is the first novel in the Claiming her Mate’s series and it’s a paranormal shifter romance, not everyone likes the genre, but this is a very well-done example. What a story, there is drama and steam a plenty, what made it even more powerful is Vana, she could have been swallowed up by the three powerful male characters, but she isn’t, she stands toe to toe. The chemistry between the four is page melting and we hear from each of them, that just makes the story so much clearer. There was something missing overall, but I am sure that the next novel in the series will give us that little extra as we will have more of a grounding, bring on number two.

Beats of the Heart (Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series Book 1) by Charli B. Rose – Review by Sara Oxton

Beats of the HeartBeats of the Heart by Charli B. Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beats of the Heart by Charli B. Rose is a four-star read that shows promise. I would have loved to have given this story five-stars and if it was all as good as the last half I so would, it took me a long time to get into as I kept feeling like I was missing something, like a prologue about how they got together would have been great. I know the blurb explained it, but I couldn’t help but feel like I could have done with it. The author had a great way with words and descriptive qualities so much so that I could almost smell the kaleidoscope roses and hear as Dawson was singing my song in bed. Notes of the Heart can’t come quickly enough, as I am sure that it will be a compelling read, this one was so great if only for the start it could have been one of the best reads of the year.
