My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Frothy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the fourth book in her Christmas Kiss series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although the whole series is a fun and entertaining series that is well worth a read.
As with the others this book is a great easy read that you can easily lose yourself in for a few hours. It is fun and lighthearted but still had you engaging with the characters, Kat and Dan. I really liked Kats character. I found her down to earth and relatable.
This whole series has been great to read, enjoyable, entertaining and amusing. I would definitely recommend reading this series.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the second book in her Christmas Kiss series and what a great follow up this one was! Continuing with the sweet holiday themes this story will show you that Murphy’s law is in full effect for her characters. Following the story of Melanie, she will pull you in from page one and keep you intrigued until the end. From the moment her mother cons her into watching her aunt’s house everything imagine just falls apart in Mel’s life. When she ends up lost and vulnerable will the help of a sexy Spanish stranger be a good thing or another wrong turn? While there is a serious language barrier there is also something more as well. The language between their bodies keeps drawing them toward each other no matter the obstacles. When things look to be heading up for Mel and her mysterious stranger, what will become of them when she gets to her final stop? Will Mel’s fly by the seat of your pants attitude keep him close or will he run like everyone else? Abbott is a new to me author, only having found her with this series, but man am I happy that I picked this one up. If you are looking for a great book that can be read as a solo from its series as well as one that will warm your heart and tingle your cheeks than this is the one for you. I can’t wait to see where this series goes from here!

Fatal Legislation: A Novel: Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 2
By: Ellen Butler
5 out of 5 stars

The story Fatal Legislation: A Novel: Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 2 by Ellen Butler is a political thriller that I loved reading. It constantly had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I found myself glued to the pages trying to put together the clues. I loved reading about the character of Karina Cardinal. She is a Capitol Hill lobbyist. She is a woman who is intelligent, independent, and strong. She is someone that once she becomes curious about a situation is determined to get to the truth. In this story, what starts as the tragic death of a senator soon turns into an investigation that has her labeled a “person of interest.” Plowing ahead and following clues will Karina find out the truth behind the Senator’s death? She has to play politics and follow the money trail. When that trail leads to more murders the question arises, how much danger is Karina in? Read this book to find out what happens. This story is suspenseful and had me at times holding my breath. I didn’t want to put the book down until I had read the final page. Mike Finnegan is also a wonderful character to read about. He was introduced in the first book in the series and I like that he is now her boyfriend. There are many other characters that you read about. There are those who help Karina and then there are those who have their own agenda and will do anything necessary to make sure that their agenda succeeds. I enjoyed reading about the part that each one plays and also their interactions with Karina. This is the second book in a series and one that I would recommend reading.

Beachcomber Gone (Beachcomber Investigations Series #9) by Stephanie Queen – Review by Angela Shirley

Beachcomber GoneBeachcomber Gone by Stephanie Queen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beachcomber Gone by Stephanie Queen is the ninth instalment in the Beachcomber series and this series just keeps getting better. All the usual characters are here to create a wonderful world of intrigue, twists and turns with a dash of romance to finish it off.

Shana and Dane having been skirting back and forth with their emotions in the previous books and finally in this book they decide to take it to the next level but just when they thought the world had forgot about them, a trip to Australia opens old wounds and the two of them are back fight against old enemies.

This book is full of excitement, thrilling cliffhangers and twists and turn which you have come to appreciate from the writing of Stephanie Queen. I have always had a soft spot for Shana as a bad ass investigator who drives to seek the truth and the pair up with the quite but deadly Dane just adds the emotions in the book and books. Although this I feel can be read as a stand alone book I would not recommend it, you need to understand the dynamic between the two characters and how the other eight books have got us to this point.

As always the story flows through with you on the edge of your seat straight from the first chapter, the characters are well developed and the secondary characters just add to the whole feel of the book. As always this book was a pleasure to read and I really hope there is another book in this wonderful series and it never ends and that Dane and Shana will be in their eighties still fighting crime.

Degrees of Power (Prestian Series, #4)Degrees of Power by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well Via Mari has once again swept me away with Kate and Chase’s love saga. I have had the pleasure of reading the other books in the series and in order, and I would HIGHLY recommend that you do as well before reading Degrees of Power. It is the fourth book in the Prestien Series and the books really evolve along the lines of a relationship and progressively time wise as well.

Kate and Chase are learning the ‘degrees of power’ in their relationship. Much like in real life we all get to that point where we have to figure out where our power or control is going to lie. Who will be the dominant in each role. Who has what strengths. While Kate and Chase are learning these things amongst other relationship ups and downs they are also balancing the safety of those they hold near and dear. The theme of hot and steamy, might I had kinky, sexytimes, with suspense and drama are blended perfectly with a romantic story that you won’t want to put down. I know I didn’t want this to end. I personally can’t wait to see what will come next from Via Mari!

Forgetting Ophelia: A Novel (Friendship & Secrets, #2)Forgetting Ophelia: A Novel by Julie C. Gardner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forgetting Ophelia is the second novel in the Friendship & Secret series by Julie C. Gardner. This is my first novel by this author.

At a glance, Lia has her life in her hands and feels like she will be with her husband Jake forever. But life has other plans when Jake’s secrets come to light and not only shatters her but the life she knew.

When more tragedy strikes, Lia has to make to choice to try to work things out with Jake even after hurting her or make a new life for herself.

I went into this book not knowing anything about it. I feel it made it a better reading experience. Lia was a great character whose has to discover herself and want she want in her own life. She finally able to make decision that she want to make and the be the person she meant to.

This was a roller coaster of a book with a lot of emotions but I really enjoyed it. The novel has more layers and had twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting

I look forward to reading more by this author.

It Ends Tonight by A.M. Myers
Stars: 5

This story is the fourth book on the Bayou Devils MC series. This story could be read alone, but we do get to see past characters in this book. This story is the love story of Quinn and Lucas. This was a very good story with great characters. Quinn is impossibly brave and fierce. Lucas is unwaveringly loyal and so sweet. They both know trauma, and it has shaped them to who they are as characters. With that said, this story may trigger some readers. I have loved the stories that A. M. Myers writes. A lot of her characters have overcame adversity, which makes you love them and want them to have the best romance. She excels at pulling you into the events of the story! This was a great story, which is part of a great series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have really been enjoying the Christmas Kiss series from Allyson R. Abbott this holiday season. A Pink Christmas Kiss is the third book in the series however these novels can be read as standalones. Following suit with the small town and wholesome sweet romance themes we find a small town girl, Billie, as she rediscovers love once again through the Christmas season. This was such a fun reprieve from the chaos that seems to wrap one up in the in the holiday season. I do believe that there is one more sweet book to enjoy in the series that I can’t wait to enjoy before the holiday season is up. Thanks for another great reprieve Ms. Abbott!

This was a short read about a guy who liked older women. He definitely didn’t discriminate toward women. The story was ok it didn’t really offer you much. It was just little reads about his life experiences. I found humor in some of it because I can see this happening to some college kid. I would like to read a full length novel from this author. This story gave you a glimpse of what the writer could produce. It seems promising to me.

Ugh the emotions with this one had me all over the place but in a fantastic way. Lucas and Quinn are the main characters in this book and they’re thrown in to each others path when a truck runs a red light. Life is turned upside down and fate may have brought them together but the past may tear them apart.

The Confectioner's Coup (Confectioner Chronicles, #2)The Confectioner’s Coup by Claire Luana
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to say first and foremost that the covers that accompany the series of the Confectioner Chronicles are just stunning. In fact it was the cover of the first book, The Confectioner’s Guild, that first drew me into this series and sucked me into the world that Wren lives in. Like I have mentioned this is a series and The Confectioner’s Coup is the second book. I would read the first book as well as the prequel,The Confectioner’s Exile.

I could sit and talk about this book all day. Both storyline and reasons why I loved it. Each one of these books have progressively gotten better than the one before it and this one was not exception to the rule. The Confectioner’s Coup had a bit of it all; mystery, intrigue, suspense, fantasy, and just a sprinkle of romance to top it all off.

The story picks up about a month from where it left off in the last book. Wren faces more trouble in her life just as she finally gets herself out of the mess she found herself in in book one. (That detail would be a spoiler if you don’t read book one.) The King is back and still wreaking havoc. And best of all… there is another perfectly timed cliffhanger that will leave you hungry for that third book, The Confectioner’s Truth, I know I am. Thanks for another great read Ms. Luana.

Untrainable A Romantic Comedy by Jamie Schlosser

Five Stars

I laughed a little too hard while reading this story. The author combined a serious issues with some comedic moments. People are judged by everything the do when they’re in the spot light. Even when they leave that life everything they do is watched. I really felt bad for Theo but another part of me felt like he was just whining. There were multiple solutions for his issue. I just think he was so use to playing that role that it was hard to change. Family ties are such a hard thing to maintain when you hold so much pain and anger inside you. I loved these characters though. Hadley was really sweet but I also want to say naïve. She took life too seriously. They balanced each other out in my opinion. Hadley was serious and Theo was a joke.

Untrainable by Jamie Schlosser was a fun, feel good read that had my eyes glued to the pages.

Not my first read by this author, so I already kind of had an idea of what I was getting into. I will tell you that I was not disappointed, this book has the same easy reading as the others and, once again I was pulled into a pretty fun story.

The only thing that I will say, is that, and I did mention this in a another review for this author, was how crazy good looking the MC’s are. I’m talking god like, perfection isn’t the word. For me it was a little too much and I would have like them looking more, you know, human. Flaws are good to have, it makes them more believable as real world characters.

Other then that, the overall story is super fun.. okay yes I said that like three times now, but when there’s something good, there are only few words that will get the point across. But in all seriousness, this story has a nice easy flow, smooth rhythm, comedic witty banter and, a couple you can’t help but root for. It’s that feel good book that makes you all warm and gooey on the inside.

With that being said, this is where I leave you, I’m not going to say anymore in fear of spoilers. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will fall for this crazy, cute couple, and all their shenanigans.

Happy Reading

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It Ends Tonight was a great 5 star read and book 4 in the Bayou Devils MC series.

This is Lucas and Quinn’s story.
Both Lucas and Quinn have something from their past that changed their lives. As I got to know these two and their story I really liked both of them.

Lucas is a member of the Bayou Devils MC. Quinn is a single mom raising her daughter and running her own business, thankfully she has the help of her sister.
When fate brings them together things take an interesting twist. Can these two make things work? Can they have a HEA?

My emotions were all over the place with this read. We get love, heartbreak, anger and so much more. Lucas pulled me in instantly. Hot!! Quinn’s strength was great and she was a very determined woman. She was a great match for Lucas. I really liked the secondary characters and would love to see more from some of them. Overall this was a great story that pulled me right in, I was done reading before I knew it. I look forward to reading more from this series.

It Ends tonight is the fourth book in the Bayou Devils MC written by A.M. Myers and I have read all four books in this series and I loved them all. The storyline is believable and well written. The character are amazing with their quirky attitudes. The way they played off of each other was great.
Lucas’s life came crashing around him nineteen years ago. In the blink of an eye, his childhood was gone and he was forced to step up for his little brother, Clay. They are the only family each other has left and there isn’t anything Lucas won’t do to protect that bond.
Quinn Dawson knows a thing or two about loss and family. After her parents’ death when she was a child and the passing of her grandmother only a year before, her sister and daughter are all she has left and nothing is more important to her.
When a truck runs a red light, it brings Quinn and Lucas together and for the first time in his life, Lucas considers a whole new meaning of the word family but nothing is as simple as it seems.
Everything is going good until a chance meeting tears open old wounds and thrusts Quinn and Lucas into turmoil, bigger than either of them have ever known. Can they survive the scars of the past or will they both lose the only family they have left? Will they have a happily ever after?
This is an amazing love story with a few twists and surprises….

I have really enjoyed the Devil MC books. The author has done an excellent job putting these characters into this life. The author gives them purpose other than finding their old lady and saving the day. I’m having a hard time deciding which book is my favorite though. Quinn and Lucas are super adorable and then there is Brooklyn she is too cute. But the twist in this story was sad and painful. The hurdles they had to jump were too much. I don’t see how they will overcome them. This relationship will definitely take a lot of work. Loved the story though. I’m still waiting for my biker lol.

Ahhhh Jamie Schlosser! First, this author is almost always a 5 star author for me. She never fails to produce a fantastically written story with great detail, amazing characters and some strong chemistry.
Hadley and Theo are amazing characters. Their witty, easy going banter is super smooth, fast paced and effortless. Hadley is 22, smart, and doing all that she can to change where her life is going. An accountant by trade, but unprofessional dog-trainer by night, she has found herself in the unique circumstance of being one of the stars of a new reality TV show. One where she takes a washed up bad boy and try to correct his terrible, dog gone bad behavior.
Theo has the reputation of a bad boy of the worst sort. Not one where he rolls his way through all the bed sheets of every woman he has laid eyes on, but one where he is a bad attitude about everything and doesn’t care about what damage he leaves in his wake.
These two had chemistry both in and out of the sheets. This is a romance novel through and through with good helping of redemption thrown in there for good measure. Hadley and Theo make for two perfectly flawed characters who bring out the best in each other and with that, they help each other grow and become better.
I cannot recommend this book enough. The highest praise I can offer a book and an author is to re-read a book again, and this one is most assuredly on the re-read list.

Each story is with a different woman and different fantasy situation: teacher/student hook up, the sexy MILF next door, best friends mom, and more. The stories are very steamy and have very detailed scenes, which will have you fanning yourself or running to take a cold shower.

It Ends Tonight (Bayou Devils MC Book 4)
By A.M. Myers

It Ends Tonight is book four in the Bayou Devils MC series by A.M. Myers. I have to say this one is now my favourite book in the series so far. This book brought out so many emotions in me, everything from smiles, laughter and tears. Lucas is a member of the MC tough on the outside and a teddy bear on the inside. Lucas’s main focus most of his life has been his brother, that is until the day he met Quinn. Quinn was involved in an accident and the only was Lucas could stay by her side on the way to the hospital was to say he was her husband. You see Quinn had begged him not to leave her side and there was no way he was going to let her down. From the time they met neither could stop thinking of each other and so their happy life was to start. Quinn had a beautiful baby girl, Brookes existence was due to Quinn being raped, but she could not love this baby any more if she tried. But the happiness stopped the day Quinn came face to face with her rapist. Lucas knew there was something Quinn wasn’t telling him and when he found out he was totally heart broken. But his heart would be broken even more when he found out more details of Quinn’s rape. I have to say Lucas is such a sweet character, he will definitely melt your heart. In fact, he is a perfect book boyfriend and I am sure some of us will wish we had a Lucas in our lives. This book to me is worth more than five stars. I also hope this is not the end of Quinn and Lucas’s story. So, my last words on this book is go grab this book it’s a must read

Reckless is group of four sexy and steamy stories by four different authors. This group of stories is hot. Each author puts their own spin of hotness into their story. The stories themselves are on the shorter side so they are easier to read. However, they are steamy, so I advise you to read in the privacy of your own home, not at work, or on the bus, or in the line at the grocery store. In your own home.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Confectioner’s Coup by Claire Luana is the delicious second book in her newest series, the Confectioner Chronicles. The plot thickens in the latest instalment as an army arrives at the gates of Maradis, and the Guilds are thrown into dismay as the King struggles to gain power over them once more. But the Guild members are tired of answering to a blood thirsty King and his demands for Gifted produce from them. With an army fast approaching and Gifted guild members going missing, Wren must join forces with unexpected allies to help save the missing members and stop the King tyranny once and for all.
If only Wren’s life could be a piece of cake, first she’s framed for a murder she didn’t commit and now the possibility of a rebellion and war. The girl needs a holiday, where she can enjoy her delicious baked goods. I really loved this second installment of the Confectioner Chronicles, Claire’s writing is phenomenal and captivating. She will have you hooked after the first line. All her characters are well developed and constructed, that you can see them as real people. And her descriptions of all the food in this story will have you drooling over your book. Every time I read a passage I immediately start craving baked goods and chocolates, then I have to put the book down and go out and get some. Thankfully I work in a cake shop and chocolate is never hard to come by. Absolutely loved this book and to see how the story continues to get bigger and bigger. I can’t wait to read the third book in the series.

Quinn only has two people left, everyone else has already died. She’s made a great life for herself and now just struggles with letting her past go. With both of them having a crazy past and meeting by chance, it’s a great story to follow as they figure out each other. I loved this story and didn’t want it to end.

A great read about family. Quinn is trying to put her losses behind her and raise her daughter. Lucas has been looking after his brother for so long he has stopped thinking about what he wants. When Quinn drives into his life, the past returns to haunt him. Can they put the past behind them for a new future?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Quinn keeping going despite it all or Lucas harsh exterior but kind underneath.
I loved the sense of family throughout the novel supporting each other through hard times. And the scenes with Lucas and Brooklyn were sweet to prove that family doesn’t have to be related.
The switch of perspectives on chapters was a great idea to show both sides of events but was sometimes hard to follow.
The only issue I would raise is that there were lots of long sentences that were hard to read and get into the novel which could be resolved with a vaiety of sentence lengths. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

The Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 (Box Set) By Phoebe Alexander

4 Stars!!!!

If you are looking for something different and want to push your boundaries just a little then this is the box set for you. I was just lost in this series from book one. I found that the author has a real unique writing style that really handles the subject well. I quite found myself relating to the characters and finding that even though I would not actually delve into the type of world she has created that I still could enjoy reading about.

The characters really get endeared to the reader and their lifestyle isn’t brought in the readers face but slowly introduced. I find that you are able to really delve into the books and let your imagination run with you. I definitely recommend this series to delve into the fantasies that you are too afraid to really act out but love to read about. This author is definitely one of my top favorite authors and I will definitely be reading more from her and hopefully this series.

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 by Joyce McCarthy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

This was a short and extremely saucy read! Having read the first book in this series I knew to expect the way in which the author has chosen to set out these stories and so I wasn’t surprised by the very short chapters about one main character and differing secondary ones. It is hard to find a connection with the characters due to how short the book is but the author definitely does a great job at story telling in such short bursts and she is definitely good at writing sex scenes that aren’t too over the top!
I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

A Second Chance by Brooke May (Power River Pack #1) – Review by Ashleigh Whitwell

A Second Chance (The Powder River Pack #1)A Second Chance by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Second Chance is the first instalment of the Power River Pack series. The perfect mix of romance and fantasy, this book, and series, follows a pack of werewolves as they deal with the struggles that come with them finding their mate. While I’m not normally a fantasy reader, there is something about werewolves that just appeals to me; I blame Twilight! This was a great read and I will definitely be diving into the rest of the series.

This book has a lot of angst and a lot of tragedy. From the very beginning, we learn that our werewolf, Derek, as not had an easy ride. Letting the love of his life go was the most foolish mistake of his life, one he’s still paying for now. Derek is so broken and we can see that from the very start. I loved learning about him and his complex character. But the best part of Derek is his relationship with Annabelle. They have such a difficult history and seeing them come to terms with this, and the people they are now, was so much fun to read. There is a lot of emotion in this read and some of the scenes Annabelle and Derek share are real tear-jerkers. Despite this, the passion and chemistry they have is immense. I loved seeing them together, especially when things go a little hot and steamy!

As far as werewolf reads go, this one is a winner. It has definitely sorted my fantasy need and has left me wanting to read the rest of the series. If this is your sort of genre, I can strongly recommend this. Thanks for a thoroughly satisfying read!
