Bad Things Happen (Ashes to Ashes Series Book #1) by Rowena Holloway – Review by Angela Hayes

January 9, 2019/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Angela Hayes

Bad Things Happen by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bad Things Happen is the first book in the Ashes to Ashes series by Rowena Holloway. This proved to be a bit of a dark mystery- full of danger, suspense, deadly consequences, secrets, hard truths, cover-ups, and so much more.
Charlotte Ashe is an Aussie working in London, as the weather girl/reporter for TVWE. She is idealistic and ambitious- and aspires to be taken more seriously and eventually get to report on more hard-hitting stories. She thinks the right story may have just landed in her lap, a scoop that may just open all the doors she’s been dreaming of. But things take a dangerous turn and Charlotte will need to uncover the truth, before it’s all too late.
This book definitely has a psychological, edge of your seat, and suspenseful storyline. I was pulled into the story quite quickly and devoured it in one sitting, just to find out how everything was tied up in the end.
I am looking forward to the next book!

Thank you, Ms. Holloway!

Finding Juniper (Smoke Series Book 3) by Sadia Ash – Review by Sara Oxton

January 9, 2019/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Sara Oxton

Finding Juniper by Sadia Ash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding Juniper by Sadia Ash a five-star conclusion. This is book three in the smoke series and you do need to have read the first parts of the story to get the full benefit. My only issue with this is that it could have done with being at least 50 pages shorter, there were a couple of spots that we could have done without, but I am sure lots of people will like the length. The story is gripping, the will they wont they should be done by now, I should be thinking really, just get it together or kill each other that’s what I’m normally like with this type of story, but it was great. You feel their pain and understand so much deeper what’s holding them back, particularly Kyle his story was sublime it’s not the easiest but when you get used to his voice you will feel like you’ve been sucker punched by emotion.

Perilous Confessions by Carrie Dalby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Historical romance/fiction is one of my absolute favorite genres and this book definitely did not disappoint. The author does a beautiful job weaving this tale, skillfully pulling the reader in the walk beside the characters on the journey they take. Rich and vivid detail – I felt like I was walking through the pages and living the experiences with them. A wonderful book and one I highly recommend others jump into. I cannot wait to continue reading this series and more from this author.

Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book almost killed me! Oh my gosh this author she knows how to get me every time I read one of her books, from the completely unexpected to making me fall so hard in love with her characters that anytime anything happens I feel like I am right there with them. I will admit I cried, a lot during this book. My heart hurt for Storm, the author wrote her character in such a way that I genuinely could feel what she was feeling. The emotional feels in this book were real! I have been so lucky to read all of the books in this series, Savage Collision is still one of my most favourite reads ever but this book was something else. I could tell that the author had truly poured her heart and soul into this read, the pain and suffering of the characters is real. I’m not going to go into details as I do not want to spoil this read for anybody but it truly is an outstanding story that I cannot recommend enough – it may only be January but I know for sure that I have found one of my top reads of 2019!

A Talent for Trouble
By: Landra Graf
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Talent for Trouble (Bad Boys of Space #1) by Landra Graf was a fast pace, addicting read that had me hooked from start to finish.

My first read from this author, I went in blind and just started reading. The cover and synopsis may have invited me in, but the stellar writing, intriguing plot and attention to detail, made me stay.

I will say that this is a little out of my comfort zone, not so much that it’s a sci-fi, but because it was a Mafia style setup, and I don’t normally gravitate towards those types of books. But I’m glad I took a chance because this book was much more than a tale about a drug runner trying to make it big, no, it had a ani-hero vibe and with the added romance to spice things up, I couldn’t stop flipping the pages.

Overall this book, is a must read. Besides the plot and multi-layered characters, there is action, blood, double crossing and an explosive climax that will get your blood pumping. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will want to get lost in this dangerous world set in space.

Happy Reading

A Terrible Beauty by T. Birmingham
Stars:4

This is the first book in the Fallen Eagles MC series. This book is Kit’s and Lee’s story. Honestly, I had a little trouble getting into this book at the beginning. However, the more that I read the more I liked it. Yes, this story has romance in it, but I loved the other things in this book more like the healing, acceptance, sisterly love, and the resilience of the characters. These are things that I loved about this book. After I was able to get pulled into this story, it was a fun and quick read that I did really enjoy!

Written in the Stars by T. Birmingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved book 1 in this series so I was really excited to dive straight into book 2 and wow! It was such an amazing read, I didn’t think the author could top the first one but she really knocked it out of the park with this second book in this series. It can be read as a standalone however I would definitely recommend reading book 1 first. Again the author took me on an amazing literary journey with this book, it was so much more than I expected and I found myself on the edge of my seat on more than one occasion. I was gripped by the story line, the mystery of everything constantly had me guessing, it was unpredictable and the characters were amazing! The authors writing was so engaging and I found that I couldn’t (and didn’t want to) take my eyes off what I was reading.
If you are looking for a romance story with a dark, gritty mysterious undertone to it then I 100% recommend this book! I loved every second of it and I look forward to more from this talented author in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVED this book! I have to admit I think I was in love with it before I even started, as soon as I read ‘Alexander Kincaid Storm III’ I was gone! For some reason the name sounds so sexy! There was so much that I loved about this story, the chemistry between the characters, the suspense, the secrets and lies – I just really loved it all! I’m not usually a fan of insta-love it often has me rolling my eyes but I liked it in this story, I’m pretty sure I would have fallen in love with Alex as quickly as Madison did! I loved all of the twists and turns that the author took me on, it was definitely one of those books that I couldn’t put down. I thought the authors writing style was great, the book was easy to read and it took no time at all for me to be captivated by what I was reading.
I am really excited to read more from this series and author again in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoy the writing style of this author. The chapters are “normal” length and they are broken up with alternating POV or subject change in quick order. It’s a fast great way to read.

This is book 2 in a series and I think it would be best to read the series in order. There are relationships from the first story that continue here and I think it would be more enjoyable to read in order.

The characters continue to develop as the story unfolds. There is a bit of suspense and some twists and turns. The open door sex scenes are easy to skim.

The story held my interest. I will absolutely continue to read the series. I look forward to reading more about of Steel and Gage and the other characters too.

Five Stars

Written in the Stars is a well written love story. It is about finding and loving yourself no matter your flaws. Winter keeps to herself not because she is shy but because she sees and feels with her all. I loved her character she gave off a ice queen vibe but that wasn’t who she truly was. She was sweet and loving. At first look she seems timid and rude but as the story develops she grows. Eagle has seen and done so much and it has left him physically and emotionally scared. I really enjoyed these two characters journey. The author has a great thing going and I can’t wait for the next book. These sister’s are hardcore and loving. The men in their lives are loyal and HOT!

Wish Upon a Bollywood Star by Pamela Q. Fernandes – Review by Michelle Austin

Wish Upon a Bollywood Star by Pamela Q. Fernandes

Wish Upon a Bollywood Star was a fun 4 star read.

Soumya is excited to meet hot Bollywood Actor, Vir Seth. However she happens to overhear a conversation that he was involved in relating to how he feels about women and what their good for. This infuriates Soumya and she decides to do something to get him back.

Oh no, Soumya, you started this mess and you can damn well see it through to the bitter end. – Vir

When Vir Seth shows up at her workplace demanding she come to her boss’s office she doesn’t know what to expect. If she loses her job it was worth it. Lets just say there is a unexpected twist that she didn’t see coming, now the tables have turned.

You’re mine and before long, you’ll come to understand that. – Vir

Soumya was determined to reject Vir’s advances, however the more time they spent together her feelings were building. Does he feel the same way or is she fooling herself? How can she compete with all the beautiful women he’s used to?

I really liked Soumya and her strength in standing up for herself, she was a great strong character. Vir grew on me, at first I thought he was an arrogant man who was hung up on himself. I really enjoyed their story. The author pulls you right in with her writing and you won’t want to stop until your done, I had to see how it ended.

Written in the Stars is the second book in T. Birmingham’s Fallen Eagles MC series and I absolutely loved it! I have to say that I have loved EVERY SINGLE book I have read by this writer! I guess you could read this book as a standalone but I implore you, do not! You need to read the first book as it ‘sets the scene’ and you will the people from the first book again in the second and so on!
When I picked up Written in the Stars, I knew that I will need (internal need not someone telling me to read) to finish it in one sitting, I knew that I would not be able to fall asleep if I left off before the end … so I read it during the weekend and I am telling you, give yourself a present and spend a weekend with the series! Written in the Stars is the story of Davis “Eagle” Landon, a businessman and president of the Fallen Eagles MC and someone who gives so much back to the community and all the veterans, and Winter Markham, business owner and one of the Markham sister and who carries the world on her shoulders despite of the wonderful friends and family … Eagle has been attracted to Winter forever and finally, both of them let the sparks fly … mix into it a serial killer and a copycat and you will be glued to the edge of your seat and you forget to breathe at times … so well is the story written, so vivid are the details and the relationships, so intense are the emotions … I cannot wait for the next book in the series and knowing from reading most of T Birmingham’s writing, it will be another smashing story that will not leave you alone …

A Terrible Beauty by T. Birmingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Terrible Beauty is the first book in T. Birmingham’s Fallen Eagles MC Series. It is listed as a novella but it didn’t feel that way to me when I was reading it. It has a lot of content, feeling, and background. The characters were well described, so you got a sense of who they were and their relationships with each other. It was well written, and I cannot wait to read the 2nd book in the series. I highly recommend it, but I do give caution to readers, there is some intense scenes involving sexual abuse and torture, along with some PTSD situations.
The book is largely about Kit Markham and her high school sweetheart Lee Devereaux, though there are a lot of important supporting characters. Both Lee and Kit served time in the military, and while they kept in contact, Kit went through some trauma she has hidden for years from nearly everyone. It has caused a lot of strain on their relationship. While they both love each other, is that enough? Can Kit get through her struggles and allow herself to be happy?

This is a contemporary romance story with mystery, suspense, lies, secrets and family dynamics all roll up into one book.

Shadow’s Keep by Meghan O’Flynn
4 Stars

This is the first book that I have read from this author. It is a dark, twisted thriller. It shows the measures people will take to protect the ones they love. The author did an amazing job of keeping you constantly on your toes trying to figure out who the killer is. When you think you have figured it out, you realize that you’re wrong. Something happens that throws you for a loop.

The story takes place in the small town of Graybel, Mississippi. A place where everyone knows everyone and nothing really happens until Deputy Sheriff William Shannahan finds a dead child in the woods. It looks like a dog attack but William has a gnawing in his gut telling him otherwise. The story takes off from there and has so many twists and turns, it will have your head spinning.

The story was detailed and compelling. The author did a fantastic job of hiding clues in plain sight. You only realize them when you finish the book. What a crazy ending! The images I have in my head of those final scenes are the stuff of nightmares. Ms. O’Flynn did an excellent job. I won’t say anything else because I don’t want to ruin the story. I did get a little frustrated with William’s self doubt and constant Elliot Stadler references. It has been a long time that I have read a book in this genre and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend reading this book and I will be looking for other books from this author.

Flash Point by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flashpoint is the first of the Nite Fire Series books from C.L. Schneider. I have not had a chance to read anything from C.L. Schneider before and so this was a new foray into her worlds and I was pretty impressed. She has a knack for scene building. I often felt as if I could say I was there myself. If I almost experienced first hand the adventures that Dahlia faced along her journey. This kept me on my toes and intrigued when I was a bit dragging in the story line area. Don’t get me wrong, this is a good novel, with a strong storyline. I just had a difficult time keeping everything in order at times and felt as if it was a bit much going on for me in one book. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing what the other books bring in the series, as well as if they will be a bit more stretched out. I feel as if Schneider can take as long as she wants with this series. Its that great, I’d rather have more books spread out than complicated stuffed books.

Meanwhile in Flashpoint we meet and learn all about Dahlia Nite. She herself is a shapeshifting assassin and she is currently in a prickly situation. Hiding from people who want her dead she is in the human realm and hopping from town to town using her special skills to protect the people the way she knows how. There are murders and secrets, mysteries and monsters, magical realms and details that will be sure to haunt your thoughts long after you finish the last page. I can’t begin to tell you how dimensional this story gets. So strap in and prepare for quite the ride. I can’t wait to see what will come next in book two, Chain Reaction! Thanks so much for a great escape Ms. Schneider!

How enjoyable is this story!! I loved it! The witty banter, the secret longing and the sexy beard…all good reasons to devour this book! Olivia is a hoot! She sure has a mouth on her! She cracked me up at the games! Brett seems like not the type of guy she would go for. His outward appearance might have people shy away or look down on him. But I side he is a golden boy! He has this great big heart. We get to see and spend some time with Gavin and Emerson. They really help the story move forward as does Haley, who is Olivia’s best friend.

This isn’t my first book by this author. I have read all of the others in this series. They all have a little fun, some sexy men and strong sassy women. I love reading this series and look forward to the next one!!

A Talent for Trouble (Bad Boys of Space #1)
By Landra Graf
Rated 5 stars

I love, love, loved this story! It is full of action and suspense. As well as a relationship full of lust, snark and mutual distrust. I loved each of these characters from the first moment we met them. Toni is such a strong female lead! She kept me on my toes but never disappointed me. She is not afraid to get her hands dirty and has a loyal following. Emilio is trying to turn his life around when everything goes wrong. He is arrogant and thinks his good looks, suave personality and thinking one-step ahead can get him out of anything. When these two first meet?? It’s like hot and cold. They each have a past holding them back from a possible future. Will they be able to overcome to meet in the middle?

I loved this storyline! Bootleggers, drug/gun runners and drug cartels? Spaceships, AI’s, Earth and other planets?? All of that makes this an action-packed story that I couldn’t put down. I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen next and how were they going to get out of the next mess. Many times I rooted for Emilio or Toni but then i was distraught Over something that happened and changed my loyalty to the opposite. There are a bunch of rag-tag dysfunctional secondary characters that I enjoyed immensely. They made the MC’s more rounded and added some fun to the story. I would love to read some more about them and possibly have them get their own stories.

This is a first time author for me. I can’t wait to read more in this series and are eagerly awaiting the next one!

Tapped by Tarrah Anders
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First, I should preface this review with my confession that I may be a bit biased with Tarrah Anders. She just happens to be one of my top five fave contemporary romance authors. So it is automatic for me to one-click anything that she puts out, quite often before I even know what the book is going to be about. I don’t care, I know whatever adventure awaits within those pages will be a great one. Tapped is nothing short of great either.

Book three, and the conclusion, of The Night Moves series this still can be read as a complete standalone novel. You will want to go back and catch the rest of the gang’s stories though as they are equally fantastic! We get the story of Janae and Kai. Theirs is one full of second chances and new beginnings. Nothing really ever comes easy and that is what makes the novels glorious to get lost in. I especially enjoy how I felt as if I was vacationing in Las Vegas the entire time I was reading Tapped. All the lights, glitz and glam, and the sultry steam that goes with it was excluded in the writing so well. My only complaint with this was that it ended! I can’t wait to see what will come next from Tarrah Anders! Thanks so much for this amazing read!

Written in the stars is the second book in the Fallen Eagles MC written by Ms. Birmingham and my second read by this author. The characters are well written and I love how real this author made them real. The plot was great even if a little sad with few little twists.
Davis “Eagle” Landon has given up a lot for his country an eye, a leg, time with his kids. He’s retired the owner of several businesses and the President of the Golden Trail, PA Veteran MC, Fallen Eagles, this former Texan has his roots firmly planted. He’s ready to settle down again, and only one woman will do.
Winter is different she is sensitive and a bit of a loner. She is quiet and often sarcastic. She’s also the owner of the best (and only) salon in town. As the youngest Markham, she’s seen firsthand the many struggles her older sisters have endured, and as much as the prospect scares her, she’s ready for a love that’s all her own. And, well… She might look like a fairytale to Eagle, but Winter has always preferred her men a little rough around the edges.
Winter has a darker history than anyone realizes, and with a serial murderer/rapist who doesn’t discriminate between males or females terrorizing the Philadelphia area, no one is safe.
Will Eagle find the serial murderer/rapist before he or she grabs Winter? Will they find their other half in each other? I really enjoyed this story and I hope the next installment is about Hammond and Autumn…

Full Glasses and Burju Shoes by Blake Blessing
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Full Glasses and Burju Shoes by Blake Blessing is a book that will have you turning the pages in record time.
This is a new author to me and I wasn’t sure what to expect at all when I read the description. The book sounded good and like something I would enjoy. And I have to say I did really enjoy this authors writing style. The hook had an easy flow about it and the story effortlessly progressed.
I also really liked how the characters were opposites in most ways. Everything about them suggested they shouldn’t work together and yet they did. I liked how convincing their story was. The whole story was easy to read and enjoyable. One I would definitely recommend trying.

The Memory of Us by Lisa Sorbe
4 Stars!!!!

This is quite a refreshing read for me. I like how the author draws the characters together and how the past is such a major influence to the story. The book was so relatable and realistic. The book holds the reader’s interest and draws you into the world that is created.

Elena and West have such a magnetic chemistry that you can feel from the first time they see one another again after all the years they were apart. The reader can sense the tension and feel all the emotions that Elena goes through. I found myself routing for her and West. I like how the tension and drama is drawn out and there isn’t a quick end to the book. I really enjoyed how the author was able to draw it out and keep the reader engaged. I definitely will read more from this author in the future.

Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Series (Romantic Suspense, Military Romance) Book 2) by T. Birmingham – Review by Jenni Bishop

Written in the Stars by T. Birmingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Book 2) by T. Birmingham is a second chance romance story about a MC that is made up of veterans. It is the second book in the series and I advise that you read the first book Terrible Beauty so you get a better understanding of the characters and their world. This book is focused on the President of the MC and his second chance at love but there is also something much darker and sinister going on in the small town that sees time running out for them before things get much worse. There is so much going on and a lot of players that you are never bored.

This story will leave you with your emotions on a roller coaster ride, there is heartache and sorrow but it is also heart warming and yes there will be tears but there is also laughter. The story had me engrossed to the very end. T. Birmingham is a great storyteller and the characters are easily lovable with their flaws, their quirks and all their insecurities that you can not help but fall in love with them. Bring on the next story
