By: Amy McKinley
5 out of 5 stars

The story Beneath the Surface (A Gray Ghost Novel Book 3) by Amy McKinley is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It has romance, mystery, and suspense. The story had me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. The action, adventure, and danger had me on the edge of my seat and I had to remind myself to breathe. The book had me hooked from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Hannah Miller and Jack Davis. Hannah is independent, strong, beautiful, and a survivor. She is a woman with a secret. She also has found herself on a private plane that has been hijacked. Jack is a man who not only is part of the Gray Ghost team but also one who is devoted to helping out those who are lost and alone. He has had and still has feelings for Hannah. Jack is sent to recover a secret weapon, however, he finds himself unable to stop himself from finding Hannah as well. The same sparks that he felt for her reignite. Complications arise when evidence shows that Hannah may be a traitor. He is putting everything on the line for her. Is his trust in Hannah misplaced? Will Hannah fully trust Jack? Is there a future for Jack and Hannah? Read this book to find out. This is a thrilling story that does not disappoint. I could feel the passion/connection that Jack and Hannah have. They are both characters that I grew to care about and wanted everything to work out for them. There are other additional characters in the story and I liked that the other members of the Gray Ghost team make an appearance and have their part to play in the story. This is a book that will keep you on your toes and guessing until the very end.

The story Perilous Confessions (The Possession Chronicles Book 1) by Carrie Dalby is a historical fiction romance book.

Read this book to find out. I found myself getting caught up in the romance and life that Lucy lives. Lucy is a character that I grew to care about with each chapter that I read. From the highs to the lows, my emotions went up and down the entire time I was reading this story. There are other characters that you are introduced to and I enjoyed reading about the part that they play in the story. The story has both romantic and emotional dialogue. It is a story that I would recommend reading.

The story Caught in Cross Seas (the Caught Series book 1) by Sharleen Scott is a book that I loved reading. It has mystery, suspense, and romance. A combination that hooked me in from the very beginning and I found myself not wanting to put the story down until I had finished.

Is what has sparked between Harlie and Clay turning into a serious relationship? What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down with the characters. There are moments that are sad and others that warmed my heart. There are miscommunications and situations that are complicated. There is also bantering between Clay and Harlie. I grew to care about Clay and Harlie with each chapter that I read. They are characters that I wanted to find happiness. There are also additional characters that I enjoyed reading about as well. The story has a smooth flow to it and is a fascinating read.

Lucy Easton, an aspiring novelist, will do anything to help boost her chances at publication—including betraying her family. But when she crosses paths with the charismatic Alexander Melling, her aspiration for success pales in comparison to the attraction she feels towards him.

Alexander is a young lawyer from a powerful family, striving to free himself from his father’s shadow. The more time he spends with Lucy, the more desperate he becomes to shed the secrets of his past—a past which can destroy the both himself and the woman he’s falling in love with.

While Alexander struggles with his past sins, Lucy must decide whether loving him is worth risking her own safety…and her heart.

From gossip magazines to gleaming Mardi Gras balls, Lucy and Alex navigate the Edwardian era in the Deep South with both passion and guilt.

Only a city girl would think her secret safe in a small town.
When bakery owner Harlie Cates escaped her abusive husband in Seattle she thought Angel Beach, Oregon was the perfect hiding place. Then Clay Masterson moved in next door. She isn’t looking for love. She doesn’t even date. And she doesn’t want a country music superstar tossing her into his spotlight. So, why can’t she stay away from him?

Clay Masterson isn’t in town for the chowder. He’s searching for his supposedly dead father, who was accused of murder in Montana, and the grapevine says he’ll find him near Angel Beach. If Clay finds him, he’ll thank him for being an exemplary father for the ten minutes he spent at it, and alert the authorities. Harlie offers to help, believing Clay’s motivation is love, not vengeance.

But Clay isn’t the only one searching for his father. Someone knows who committed the murder and knows Harlie’s secret too. He plans to clean up these problems, once and for all. Two, or maybe three, birds with one stone.

Killer Lawyer (Jake Wolfe Series Book #3) by Mark Nolan – Review by Angela Hayes

Killer LawyerKiller Lawyer by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Killer Lawyer is the latest addition to the Jake Wolfe series by Mark Nolan. It is an incredibly clever, intense, gripping and suspenseful read. This has a complex, multi-layered storyline- with lots of action, drama, intrigue, humour, danger, tension, and mystery.
We once again team up with former marine Jake Wolfe and follow his lead, as all the excitement unfolds. Jake has earned his law degree, and has also been recruited to undertake dangerous, covert assignments on behalf of the government. His constant companion- trusty, highly intelligent, and loyal ex-war dog, Cody, live on a motor yacht own by a wealthy friend.
When a deranged killer starts killing random targets on the streets on San Francisco, Jake and Cody are determined to hunt him down and eliminate the threat. But what happens when the killer decides to target Jake, Cody and all the people they love most in the world? This book really is worth the read to find out all the exciting details for yourself.
It is a fast paced story with lots of twists and surprising developments. This is such an absorbing read, I ended up reading it in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down, I really need to know how the whole story played out!
The story is told from multiple POV’s ( even Cody the dog gets a say), which gives a well-rounded perspective of the developments, and adds an extra dynamic to the whole story.
The characters are so great- they are completely developed, fully realised characters with their own quirks, flaws and unique personalities. I especially loved how incredibly detailed and developed Cody’s (the dog) personality was- it’s this attention to detail that really sets this book apart from others in the same genre!
The next book can’t come soon enough for me!

Thank you, Mr. Nolan!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I’m hooked. I’m so grateful I have the next installment of the series already downloaded.

The story moves quickly and while it is a story of forbidden love, it is truly about the process of healing. The H and h are both very likeable, the best friends are fantastic and the open door sex scenes were easily skimmed.

I read this book on one sitting and found it enjoyable and entertaining.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heart of a Hunk is a collection of 24 holiday romances filled with bad boys, billionaires and just all around hunky men. Two of the stories from the collection that i really are called Foxxy Christmas by Allyson R. Abbott and A Kiss Under A Blue Christmas Moon by Tamara Ferguson.

Foxxy Chrismas is about an escort named Foxxy who meets a mysterious man who claims he wants to help her get away from her troubles. Even though they just met, there is an instant connection between them but there’s more to him than meets the eye and Foxxy isn’t the only one running from the past. I adored this book and i would like to read more by this author.

A Kiss Under A Blue Moon is a sweet romance that gives all those Christmas movies they show on tv a run for their money. Noah just returned home from the Air Force with one thing on his mind: Mia. He is still just as much in love with her as the day her left but Mia isn’t so sure she feels the same after all this time. I thought this book was super sweet and i am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future.

If you are looking for a collection of great Christmas reads this is great choice!!
Happy Reading!

While the series says MC, this book didnt really have much to do with anything MC like I’ve read before. It really focused on the story of before and now. We don’t get to see much of how things were before to compare to now.

What happens when the truth comes out was very surprising but also needed.

The Yates weren’t too crazy. But Callie had a few loose. She ran herself thin just to care for the people around her. Just like being a mom you take on so much and don’t let anyone in to help. Callie has taken care of everyone for years. When do you start remembering that your not alone in life. It takes a lot of courage and love to do what Callie did. The author wrote this story to compel us to think outside the normal and to learn that happiness just needs a little faith.

The Memory of Us
By Lisa Sorbe

I enjoyed every minute of reading this book. This story was very emotional, heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time. I loved reading the dynamic between Elena and Weston, it has been so long since they have seen each other and the attraction is still there but they have a lot of past feelings to work out. In the beginning I thought Elena seemed a bit rigid and unfeeling but as the story unfolds you realize that’s not who she is, sometimes we all hide what’s really going on inside. This is a wonderful story of second chances and wonderful characters. The author did an awesome job connecting me to the story and giving me a good emotional read. I highly recommend this book.

That lady was a total witch. I understand wanting to protect your family but she was obsessed and extremely possessive. Victoria needs nerves of steel and an abundance of patience. This story had all the fears women thing about come to life. We all fear disappointment and never being enough. I didn’t like Brad a whole lot. He didn’t show any willingness to put a stop to his mom’s craziness. The author presented this story very well. The author included an softness and warmth but placing Victoria in a position where she had to care for a child that was not her own. A good read for some laughter and crazy.

From second chances at love to making a new beginning with someone dependable and charming, how can you resist some of the best fantasies to be combined into this alluring set of stories?! I am a fan of anthologies, while I get to read authors I am familiar with, I also get to read stories by authors I may not have previously taken the opportunity on.

The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore
4 out of 5 Stars

This book is the physical manifestation of the fear every girl has when she is searching for her potential life long partner. Evil Mother-In-Law.. Victoria feels that she has got it all. Handsome man, handsome house, handsome life, or so she thinks, until she meets her mother-in-law…who is straight up evil. I mean, there is Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th Evil and then there is this woman. This book is incredibly suspenseful. As the plot thickens and the details unravel, you will find yourself flipping, (or in my case tapping) the pages faster and faster to find out what happens. When secrets of Brad and his Mother start to unfurl, Victoria starts to understand that this isn’t at all what she signed up for when she said Till death do us part.

This author created a very suspenseful and detailed story. I was drawn in from the very first chapter. I loved every last minute of it. Highly recommended.

The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore was a suspenseful read that kept you on the edge of your seat. At times, I could not turn that pages quick enough to see what was to happen next – I was completely involved in the continuing story. Victoria and Brad had a love that couldn’t be ignored and they both grabbed on to it and pursued that relationship to it’s fullest. The drama immediately begins as they moved forward to spend their lives together – enter the mother-in-law. Judy Moore has given the allure of evil incarnate in this story in the form of a mother-in-law. However, not everyone sees the facade that is seen from the outside. The story continues to build and you really don’t know which way the author will have the story climb to until it all comes to a peak. Truly a well written suspense with a remarkable ending.

This story had many twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat. But also whole following along with Eden & Theo’s story I was taken along on an emotional rollercoaster that was so raw and real that you felt as though you were living the emotions yourself. Theo & Eden have a chemistry that is hot, intense and immediate. With the tragedy that has struck both Theo & Eden life previously they have both been going through life with this impacting their day to day lives.

Kit is a new person and no longer answers to her given name Summer. After being held captive for 30 hours and experiencing life altering torture and embarrassment she can no longer claim to be who she was. Her secret of what happened haunts her and has caused a rift between everyone she loves. Her PTSD from all war related things doesn’t help any and nothing seems to be working to help. Lee her former love doesn’t understand and wants to help. He knows she is keeping secrets but his love for her is deep. I loved both characters and the deep love Lee had for Kit. I was shocked by what she went through. I don’t recommend this book to those who are fain of heart. The torture and things these characters went through in relation to war are very realistic. I loved this novel though and can’t wait to read more from this author.

The Lies We Tell by Brittany Butler is a book that explores what happens when the lies we tell catch up to us and how the past can effect our future.
Overall for me this was an enjoyable read, although there were times I felt slightly disappointed. For me the blurb built this book up to be so much and I don’t think the story quite lived up to the expectation I set.
However the story was good and well paced and the characters were well thought through. And while it was quite what I expected I enjoyed the story and found myself become invested in it. This is certainly an author I will read again in the future.

Surviving Eden is about loss, grief and love. Theodore Grant is a psychologist helping Eden deal with her grief over losing her family. While I found the characters interesting, I would have liked more of their back stories. I felt their back story was just thrown in to the story. I like the attraction between the two, but given the possible fall out that could happen, I expected Theo to put up more of a fight. The story was well written, the story line was good and I will read the next book in the series, as I really liked Alex.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surviving Eden is the first book in the Surviving Series by Virginia Wine. If this first book is any indication of how the whole series will be then I’m sure that this will be a series that I read many times.
Dr Theo Grant is a highly renowned psychiatrist. With a very difficult childhood behind him, he himself would be a psychiatrist dream to work with. His past has led him to believe that he’s not lovable and he has no intention of settling down with one woman. That is until he met Eden Barnett.
Eden is the adopted daughter of Theo’s best friend Matthew Barnett. When Matthew and his beloved wife are tragically killed, Eden becomes Theo’s patient to help her deal with her grief.
To say that sparks flew when these 2 met would be an understatement. They are both drawn to one another and their connection is fierce.
Can Theo go against one of the very cornerstones of his profession and have a relationship with his patient? Will helping Eden also help Theo deal with the demons from his own past? Can they both heal each other?
In order to answer these questions I would urge you to read this book. These 2 characters are amazingly well written. You, as the reader, get to see right into their souls.
Thankfully, I also have books 2 and 3 on my kindle just waiting for me to devour. I can’t wait to see what Virginia Wine has in store for Theo and Eden and also for their friends and family members who will take centre stage in the rest of this series.

Surviving Eden (Surviving Series Book 1) by Virginia Wine – Review by Erica Fish

Surviving Eden (Surviving Series Book 1)Surviving Eden by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In the Surviving Series, Surviving Eden is book one by Virginia Wine is a contemporary romance book. This is my first book by this author, and it will not be my last. The characters are fully developed, and the story line is so close to be true that I felt like I was with the characters watching while on Eden’s shoulder. There are some scenes that be a bit explicit for an audience under the age of 18. The story took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Eden and Theo both have had accidents in their past that that had them just going through life without meaning. Will Eden be the answer for Theo and vice versa? Or will the accidents in their lives steer clear of each other?

The Shape of Trust by Brinda Berry – Review By Stacey Baxter

The Shape of Trust (Stand By Me, #5)The Shape of Trust by Brinda Berry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You’ve really got to love a forbidden romance novel this one had me completely hooked. The storyline flowed and kept my attention throughout i just couldn’t put it down. Webb and Lily’s romance isn’t a simple ride there’s many bumps along the way it certainly keeps you on the edge of your seat and eager to turn the pages. The main character’s are absolutely amazing and they really brought this story to live. I really enjoyed the banter between them and there chemistry was scorching hot. I highly recommend this novel definitely a must read!!

The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore – Review by Erin Wolf

The Mother-in-LawThe Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore, 4 stars.

Victoria can’t believe what she just did. She got married to a man she’s only known about a month — in Vegas no less! But there is something about Brad. She fell in love with him right away and goes with her instinct. So she says I Do, quits her job and packs up her former life to move across the country to Florida. She knows Brad has a son and a mother and she is anxious to meet them both. She quickly realized that she jumped in without looking. Brad’s mother is a piece of work. She can’t seem to let Brad go. Is it just the pain of him some belonging to someone else? Or does go much deeper than that?

This was an interesting book. I have to admit, I didn’t know just what to expect. The “evil mother-in-law” has been done many times. But this book does it with a twist. I can’t really say too much without giving anything away, but the ending was surprising and yet satisfying too. The characters were very realistic. I could them being a family I read about in the newspaper.

A suspenseful, gripping story, I highly recommend this book.

Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 4) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Sara Oxton

Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 4)Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Building Storm by Gwyn McNamee a Squall of a five-star read. This is the forth novel in the Hawke Family series and they are best when read in order, they each have such powerful and gripping story lines, I do think that Building Storm may just be the best, after I had read the previous novels and loved them and I feel that getting to know Storm and watch her story develop just made this one so much stronger and more compelling. I don’t want to say too much as I would hate to give spoilers as there are a few points that you will feel like the rugs been pulled from under you and you will just adore it!! I love how Gwyn McNamee brings the city of New Orleans to life in the pages almost like another character along with the buildings and the description they will blow you away, the passion and drama written between the pages are simply sublime, if you haven’t read this series then you need to go buy them all, it’s such a powerful series that you can’t miss.

The Way You Are (Carolina Connections #5) by Sylvie Stewart – Review by Katie Matthews

The Way You Are (The Carolina Connections, #5)The Way You Are by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Number 5 in this series and I am still hanging on every word this author writes! Yes they can be all read as a standalone but they are all equally as amazing so highly recommend them too.
I love nothing more than a friends to lover’s story, I think friendship can be such a good base for a relationship sometimes and this story was just the most perfect example of that. Ms Stewart always manages to make me fall in love with her characters, they are always genuinely nice people and they feel like you are reading about your friends. I loved Olivia, she was so sweet and funny, and I can see why Brett was so enamoured with her! Brett, bless his heart, you could really tell how much Olivia meant to him, and in my opinion they were so perfect for each other. They had a really good chemistry that was genuine and not over the top, I was secretly rooting for them the whole way through. As with all of this authors books you can count on the secondary characters being brilliant and they were – they all add something to the story that make it so much more enjoyable to read.
As always I cannot wait to read more from this author in the future – she is definitely one of my go to authors!
