An extremely detailed story about a young group of friends and the things they go through. It’s watching a “tomboy” struggle with gender normatives and figuring out what life and family is all about.
There are some very funny observations in this story ” …the priest in charge most of the time turned the wine into the blood of Jesus and then the host -a thin, white wafer- into his flesh in front it everyone’s eyes. Yet grown ups don’t believe in monsters.” But over all it didn’t move quick enough to hold my attention and I wasn’t sure where it was all headed.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I always appreciate anyone putting pen to paper. This book was just not my cup of tea.

Amman – Review by Maura Harper
Not So Broken, by Renee Regent, is the first book of the Love Grows series. This story is a contemporary romance that brings together two unlikely individuals who each have their own secrets. Set in Georgia, the author provides all those details to showcase the difference between small town and big city living. The main/lead characters, Gibson and Sacha, are irrevocably drawn to one another. The hurdles that they each have to maneuver gives great depth to each of them. The supporting cast of characters add additional light to the story. Both Gibson and Sacha show emotional growth as the story progresses. The method in which Renee Regent has these characters work through their struggles was well thought out. I look forward to read future books by this author.

Caught in the Spin, the Caught series book 2, by Sharleen Scott continues the romantic suspense theme experience from the first book in the series. In Caught in the Spin, we follow Tallie in her story amidst the drama, danger, action, and more. This story was enthralling and I could not put it down until I finished. Sharleen Scott has a way with her writing that delves into the story in such a way that makes the characters unforgettable – they may have flaws, but there are redeeming or aspiring qualities within them that make them shine. I enjoyed reading the events as they untangled in Caught in the Spin and waiting to see which way the ride shook them out.

A Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers 4 Stars!!!!
What can I say but wow. This book is the dark side of Fifty Shades and I wasn’t disappointed. I found the author’s writing style to be very unique. The author is new to me and I was very impressed. The darkness of this book just really grabbed me from the start. I was sucked into the world created and couldn’t put this book down.
I found Evangeline’s character unique and I could relate to her in a way. I was drawn into the situation with Landon. I could feel my heart breaking for her when her whole world comes down. I have to say that this author really hit on a big fantasy that some woman have and also highlights the downside and dark side of it. The forbidden lust and the secrets that it leads to wind up really effecting her life and I found myself in her place as it all comes to a head. It really was a well written book and I really enjoyed its format as it was new and refreshing. I would like to read more from this author in the future.

Rainy Day Lovers by Alicia Street is the third book in The Rocklyns series. This book can be read as a stand-alone. This book is one of those dead easy books to get straight into. You are drawn in from the start and find yourself pouring through the book in one sitting. The characters had so much emotion behind them. You could feel it coming off the pages and with every interaction between them. The story was well developed and fast paced, never hallowing for your attention to drift to anything other than what you were reading. This was great way to discover a whole new series and author.

After reading and loving the first two books in this series I was really excited to see where the author would go with the third book. It was as I expected just as action packed, just as exciting and just as great to read as the first two. The mystery and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through and the storyline kept me gripped from beginning to end. I really liked Hannah and Jack and their story was one that had me intrigued. I loved trying to guess what was going to happen. I instantly felt a connection with Hannah, she was a great independent person who has dealt with some things in her past – but I feel that these things have helped her become the woman she is today. I was really rooting for her and Jack from the very start! Beneath the Surface was a fantastic read with some great moments that I definitely didn’t expect! I 100% recommend it and the rest of the books in the series! I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future!
Pandora’s Poison is an amazing continuation to Hart & Cole series. Sacha T. Y. Fortune does a wonderful job jumping right into the next phase of Darren and Luisa’s story. I would HIGHLY recommend reading book one so you can enjoy this story even more. There is a roller coaster ride of emotions. That is the appeal of this book to me as well. I want to keep in touch with Darren and Luisa’s story and what is in store for the next chapter.

The Shape of Trust (Stand By Me, #5) by Brinda Berry 5 out of 5 stars
The shape of Trust is book #5 in the Stand by Me series written by Ms. Berry. It is a great read and page turner that I didn’t put it down. The plot was great and different.

This is the first book I have read by Seelie Kay and I was not disappointed! Snatching Dianna is the first book in the Feisty Lawyers series. Dianna is a law student who goes missing. Her roommate brings up the situation to her teacher, Janet, who is ex – covert agent, she immediately gets on the case. With the help of her husband, Cade, and others, they find themselves tracking down a human trafficking ring. This is a quick and easy read. I loved the characters in this book! I feel like there might have been a previous story with these two. I would have liked it to be just a little longer with more action. I can’t wait to read the next one!

This is one of my favorite series. Each book is action, edge of seat sitting suspense and hard to put down plots and this one is no different. This is the prequel to this series where Edward has joined the Ash Park police department. He gets called out to a call that will change his life forever. Now he is faced with making a choice, backing off the case or find the murder who took his love from him. I couldn’t put it down, I lost track of all time, pulled right in. It is a must read!

Bound (The Torzial Affair Book 2) By: Via Mari 5 out of 5 stars
The story Bound (The Torzial Affair Book 2) by Via Mari is the next amazing book in a series that I would call romantic, steamy, and intense. I would recommend reading this series in order as situations from the first book to the second continue and characters overlap. It makes for a better understanding of what is going on. This story has Jenny and Brian’s romance and exploration of each other progressing. While there is a connection and chemistry that is felt, there are also times when conclusions are jumped to and doubts about trust occur. They are also having to deal with those who want to convict Jenny of the murder of her ex and other forces that are dangerous. Jenny is such a feisty and intelligent woman. She does, however, feel that her life is being turned upside down and spinning out of control. Brian is determined to protect Jenny. He is also dealing with strong emotions and feelings that include jealousy. New threats quickly appear and seem to never end. Read this book to find what happens. This story does have plenty of steamy scenes and dirty talking. There are times when situations arise that I wondered how much this couple will have to go through. There are times of danger and threats that have me wondering what is going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the part that the additional characters play in the story. Many of them are familiar from the first book and are ones that Jenny and Brian can trust. Others have their own agenda and plans. Can they be stopped? Don’t miss out on the next exciting and steamy book in a series that I highly recommend reading. I can’t wait to read the next story.

Second book in the series and my favorite so far. I enjoy how this author has the ability to pull me into her story with ease with her creative writing. Tallie thought her life was looking up until her ex-husband was released from prison with a determination to take his son from her. Will she find the security she needs behind Tom and his ranch? Their story is full of action and the unexpected twists left me turning pages. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens.

Beneath the Surface is the third installment in the Gray Ghost series by author Amy McKinley. This story centers on Russian sleeper agent Hannah Miller and Gray Ghost member Jack Davis. Hannah finds herself activated while on a secret mission with an American intelligence agency, her plane has been hijacked and the Gray Ghost team, with Hannah’s ex, Jack, are on their way to rescue the crash survivors. Not everything is as it seems and Hannah along with Jack need to find out what is really going on. I’ll start by saying that I read the first book but not the second in this excellent series and while I didn’t feel lost, I will be going back to read Chris’s story. Onward now…I LOVED this book! I LOVE this series! This series has everything from edge of your seat adventure to steamy romance. It will keep you guessing until the very last chapter and rooting for these two characters who have such sad baggage that you can’t help feeling for everything they go through. The author does a good job filling in the back stories on Hannah and Jack through use of flashbacks that do not hinder the flow of the story. Amy McKinley is quickly becoming a must-read author for me and I am looking forward to more stories in the Gray Ghost universe.

The Shape of Trust was a fantastic read! I have read all but one of the books in this series and each one I have absolutely loved. From the very first page until the last I am lost in the story and characters that this wonderful author has created. As with the other books in this series I fell in love with the characters almost instantly – there is just something about them, they are always genuine and down to earth and you just want to keep reading about them. I really liked Lily; she had that quirky quality that I have come to love from this author’s characters. I loved her determination in life and I really wanted her to succeed in everything she wanted. I liked Webb and thought that he and Lily did have this great connection. I admired Webb for turning his life around and how he dealt with the unexpected news of a daughter that he never knew he had. Again, this was another fantastic story in this series that I 100% recommend! I look forward to more from Ms Berry again in the future!

Beneath the Surface (A Gray Ghost Novel Book 3) by Amy McKinley
5 Stars
OMG I love these books and this author…It was also fun with this book running along side Eye of The Storm, I’ve not read many books that have done this and it was kind of fun…well fun in that they are at the same time but not so fun in the storyline. WOW…this one was awesome…I love all of them and can not pick a favorite but this one knocked my socks off…I was so looking forward to more about Hannah after reading Eye of The Storm and I absolutely got what I wanted in this book. I usually do not like flashbacks but the way this author handled them in this story first off made them mandatory and the way it was handled flowed perfectly.
I love how these books take the twists and turns to a new level and there is always a lot of them…I love this, and I Loved the way this storyline played out. Jack standing by refusing to leave Hannah behind even when all the evidence pointed straight at her as being guilty.
Not going into any more of the storyline, I just know that my heart broke many times as stories came out about Hannah’s past and I had so much respect for Jack in this story.
Im praying there is a lot more to come for the Gray Ghost team and I also know that I’ll be rereading this series many times 🙂

The Shape of Trust by Brinda Berry My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
This is my kind of book, it is sexy but mostly has story and build up. This story made my heart ache and smile at the same time. All of the characters are fantastic and very well written.
Webb is a great man, he is wealthy and accomplished but has his fair share of demons. When his daughter is thrust into his life unexpectedly he is freaked out but I think it started a change in him. He suddenly becomes very protective of her and Lily and having her in his life has stirred up emotions he didn’t think he would have.
Lily, bless her heart, is trying her best to make the crappy life she has work for her and her siblings, on top of that she has her own secrets she tries to keep away from the ones she loves, namely Webb. She is fiercely protective of her younger brother and sister as her mom can’t be bothered to care for them herself. Her older brother is in some hot water with drugs and keeps bringing his issues around his siblings which in turn puts them in danger and that really makes Lily’s blood boil. Lily wants to forget her messed up life and be in Webb’s pretty world but their two worlds eventually have to collide.
Overall a fantastic book, I wish it was longer, but I guess that is how anyone would feel with a book they enjoy! The ending is perfect and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves romance and drama.
Less You Know is the second book in Rowena Holloway’s Ashes to Ashes series. Charlotte is still hell bent on taking down corrupted tycoon Tyrone Garner, and airing out all his dirty laundry. But as Charlotte uncovers more about Tyrone, she digs her grave deeper and deeper. Before she buries herself she asks for help from her best friend Allie. But as things start to unfold and the secrets unravel, Allie vanishes; and Charlotte doesn’t know what to do. I really enjoyed this second installment of Holloway’s Ashes to Ashes series. It was just as suspenseful as the first book. Equally as engaging and filled with more twists and turns. I could not put the book down, and was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time. The writing was very captivating and well thought out. Everything was planned to the finest detail and executed perfectly. Highly recommend the series to anyone looking for a gripping suspense series.

Jenny Torzial and Brian Carrington’s steamy romance and erotic exploration continue as the couple finds themselves challenged by menacing external forces of the mafia and a legal system hell-bent on convicting Jenny for the brutal murder of her ex.
Jenny’s outward display of strength is in direct contrast to her inner turmoil, and the real-life struggles she is forced to face. Is she strong enough to deal with not knowing when and where the next threat in what seems a never-ending string will come? Will the uncertainty of who to trust lead to an early death or a lifetime of incarceration?
Is it too much for a man who struggles with commitment? Can Brian truly protect her? Will Jenny be able to fully submit to Brian’s dominance, allowing him to take the reins in life as well as the bedroom?
Via Mari lives in the Midwest with her husband and their loveable fur baby. As a child who was raised in both the United States and the United Kingdom, she spent countless hours traveling and developed a passion for the written word at a young age.
She is an avid reader of romance. In fact, you can still find her curled up in an overstuffed chair, especially during winter when the wood fire is crackling and popping, reading a page-turning novel until the early hours of the morning.
As she began researching and writing love scenes for her own series, it became apparent there seemed to be a cultural divide between what people believed was normal sexual behavior, or vanilla, and that which people considered BDSM. She enjoys creating characters and scenes that allow the reader to safely explore what they would and would not be willing to try.

I read this book and fell in love with this story! Perilous Confessions is book 1 in The Possession Chronicles by Carrie Dalby. This book is one that I would put down as a classic and re-read must! I loved this era because no one really writes from this era, which makes it unique. Not only does this era make this story amazing but adding the fact that they are in the South, which adds more of a scandalous tale. This book is set in the very late 1890 or very early 1900’s and follows Lucy Easton, an author who aspires to be published one day. She is very desperate to become published and will try and work her way into the publishing world. Then she comes across Alexander Melling, a young lawyer, who is captivated with Lucy and over time became very entranced by her. Lucy on the other hand has been warned off of Alexander by her brother. However, Lucy didn’t scare so easily and fell to her attraction to him. Alexander promised Lucy realism to her writing and with that came secretive interludes. Hot, heavy and steamy interludes. I love this author’s writing style. It’s very captivating and surprisingly easy to read. I was surprised because it wasn’t what I expected but I’m sure glad that I read it! I cannot wait for the next book to come out. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone regardless of whether or not you read historical books.

Edward Petrosky joined the Ash Park police force with two goals in mind: escape the military and silence the demons that followed him home from the war. And no one soothes those traumas better than his fiancé, Heather—he doesn’t even mind that she has a checkered past of her own.
But his dreams are obliterated when one night, on a routine call, Ed stumbles upon a scene as horrifying as any he’s seen in combat: Heather’s bloody body, half-buried in the snow. Though his superiors order him to stay away from the investigation, Ed can’t help but notice the inconsistencies in Heather’s case—her supposed cause of death doesn’t mesh with what she’s told him about her past.
When another body turns up, Ed realizes that Heather’s murder wasn’t an isolated act of violence; this new victim was connected to the same shelter where Heather volunteered and attended the same church where a kindly priest seems to know more about the murders than he should. And the detectives working the case seem indifferent to these links despite being no closer to finding Heather’s killer.
Now Ed must choose whether to play by the rules or sacrifice his career to seek justice for the woman he was supposed to spend his life with. One thing’s for certain: Ed can’t go down without a fight, because Ed isn’t the only one seeking vengeance.
And in Ash Park, the innocents aren’t always who they appear to be.
Chilling, and as twisted as you’ve come to expect from Meghan O’Flynn, Salvation will keep you glued to the pages. If you like James Patterson’s Alex Cross series, Tana French’s Murder Squad series, or Vargus and McBain’s Violet Darger FBI thrillers, you’ll love Ash Park.
Meghan O’Flynn is a clinical therapist, writer, artist, wife, and mom. She adores her amazing little boys, dark chocolate, tea, dirty jokes, and back rubs with no strings attached, in that order. Meghan is the bestselling author of The Jilted, Shadow’s Keep, and the Ash Park series—which includes Famished, Conviction, Repressed, Hidden and Redemption—and has penned a number of short stories including “Crimson Snow” and “Alien Landscape.” She is frankly amazed that her wonderful husband still agrees to live with her after reading them and even more shocked that he seems to sleep soundly.

This book may be shorter in length than others. But it certainly is jam packed with detail! The author does a beautiful job weaving this tale around classic Norse mythological figures. I was immediately transported by the author into the universe she created when I began reading. I found the writing to be effortless, rich, and full. This was the first book from this author I read and I look forward to reading more.

Less You Know was a great 5 star read and book two in the Ashes to Ashes series. This is a great psychological thriller that pulls you right in. You won’t want to stop until your done.
Charlotte is a very strong and determined woman. Once she gets on the trail of something or someone she doesn’t stop until she gets answers and Tyrone is the one she is focused on.
When Charlotte’s friend Allie disappears, she starts looking for her, as she’s searching she uncovers some secrets about Allie. What will happen when/if she learns the truth about both Allie and Tyrone?
I was pulled in once again by the author’s writing, I felt like I was right there with the characters. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. I love a good story that has me thinking the whole time and I was surprised with the ending as well. There are several twists and turns. The secondary characters were great. If you’re looking for a great psychological thriller I highly suggest this series/book. I can’t wait to read the next book.

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3) by Alicia Street was an addicting read that had me hooked from start to finish.
Right out of the gate I was drawn in by this pair. It was obvious that Raina was a special kind of person, from the moment we not only meet her but when she meets Roman. The opening scene not only set the stage, but also set in motion a serendipitous moment for these two lovers.
Rain really stole the show, she was a no BS person and called Roman out on his hot and coldness right from the start. She wasn’t going to let misunderstandings or anything else stand in her way. Though I will say there was a few times I wanted to slap both of them. The plot was fast moving, but I felt their connection, and for me, nothing felt forced or awkward.
Roman was a sweet character, and I loved the split POV letting us see inside his head and his insecurities. It added that much needed layer, rounding out an already solid plot and story. What I also loved was how even though Roman had so much success, he has this imposter syndrome playing in the background. It made his character real and grounded. Going through what he did, isn’t something you just get over, so having that flaw in his perfect persona, was that special something that made me connect with him.
Overall this story is a solid read and it gets a super high recommendation from me. So please take my stamp of approval, that you will get lost in this emotional read and be left wanting more.

Full Glasses and Burju Shoes was a great 5 star read.
I loved Perrin right from the start, she was such a fun spirited woman who was always looking for something new to do. One day she happens to walk by a couple that are dancing and she is pulled right in by them. She just found her next hobby, Bachata.
I’m going to live life to its fullest and enjoy everything I possibly can. – Perrin
Emil hasn’t had an easy life. He is a war vet trying to get his life back but he suffers from PTSD and some secrets.When his friend Danny asks him to teach Perrin how to dance, he’s not really thrilled about it.
Could these two help heal each other and find their well deserved HEA?
These two were meant for each other, they both have things from their past that they are trying to overcome. It was like they were drawn to each other. The secondary characters were great, I loved Danny, he was such a great boss and friend to both of them. I was pulled right in by the author’s writing, I didn’t want to put it down. There were some emotional pieces here and there that had me teary eyed. This is my second read from this author and I loved it. I look forward to reading more from her.
Bad Boys of Space A TALENT FOR TROUBLE by LANDRA GRAF
Four Stars
This book took the drug business to a new level. You’re put into a place that is only a dream. A place where we are loving and interacting with other beings. I liked the thought process and details the author put into this story. To visualize a world where anything is possible. I really liked the characters. Emilio is a strong character that shows his weaknesses. He didn’t falter or let his ego show because Toni was stronger or better at things. He took his losses and changed the outcome. Toni was a perfect balance. She was hard but soft. She learned to bend on certain situations but stepped forward when she didn’t agree. She held her own, doing for no one. I’m glad Emilio enjoyed her fiery side. They were the perfect balance for each other. I would love to see the world come to a place like this story. Except the drug part.
Beneath the Surface (A Gray Ghost Novel Book 3) By Amy McKinley. This story had my complete attention from page one. I knew I’d be in for a long night when I started it. It’s filled with mystery and suspense that definitely had me on the edge of my seat trying to read faster so I could know what would happen. The only downside to this story for me was that it had to come to an end. Hannah and Jack are characters I won’t be forgetting anytime soon, they worked really well together and it was fun watching them throughout the story. You can read this as a standalone without any confusion but I have faith that you’ll want to read the rest also! The author does a wonderful job of of keeping readers guessing and completely drawn into the story. It’s well written and paced nicely with characters you can definitely connect with. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it. Can’t wait for more from this author.

Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T.Y Fortune is the second book in the Hart & Cole Series. I recommend that the first book is read first. This is a continuation of the first book. The characters are well written. The story has a bit of everything and felt like a roller coaster of emotion. The story is compelling and had me wondering where the story would go. I liked that the story was told from a dual point of view. I felt that this added to the story because it allows the reader to see the story from both sides. I look forward to reading the third book to see how everything works out in the end. Review by @sherimichelle1

Y. Fortuné – Review by Sheri Schrader
Beneath the Surface is the third book in Amy McKinley’s Gray Ghost series. In the center of the series is a group of mainly ex-military people who take on dangerous assignments. Beneath the Surface takes place round the same time as the previous book, simply focusing on different characters. You can read the story as a standalone but it is much more enjoyable having had read the series in the order as you are already aware of some of the characters and events! For me, Beneath the Surface is the story of trust … we have a Russian sleeper agent Hannah who works for CIA and hoping one day to avenge her sister and her parents, and then we have Jack, Hannah’s ex and a member of the Gray Ghost team. When Hannah’s past comes back to haunt her, she has to decide if she can trust Jack in the midst of the craziness where so much is at stake! I loved how the story moved between the past and the present and it added layers to the story! This story is full on action filled with danger and passion and deception and … survival and hope for love! I have to say that I have gotten more and more into Amy’s writing with each book and I cannot wait to see who and what comes next!
