The Inheritance: The Story of an Unlikely Submissive by India Kells – Review by Moriah Venable

The InheritanceThe Inheritance by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Inheritance is a novel by India Kells. This is my second novel by this author.

On the verge of getting kick out of her apartment and her business failing, Lani Mackay sees an opportunity to change her circumstances when her uncle passes away and leaves her a set of instructions to follow in order to get the inheritance he has left for her.

Because of her relationship with her Uncle, who didn’t believe in her career as an artist, she is reluctant to take anything. But money could change a lot for her. All she has to do is complete the tasks that are in a box.

Her first unofficial task is to contact a man named Max and convince him to help her. But who is this man? A chance meeting could change two souls who are finding their way.

I really enjoyed this novel. I loved Lani’s independence and her blue hair. I enjoyed learning more about Max and the mystery surrounding him.

This is a quick read but very well written. I wouldn’t mind getting more of their story.

Blades Edge (Satan’s Devils MC, #10) by Manda Mellett – Review by Krystal Gaston

Blade's Edge (Satan's Devils MC #10)Blade’s Edge by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blades Edge written by Manda Mellett is book 10 in the Santa’s Devils MC Series. If you have followed this series you know it does not disappoint. Blades Edge is Blades story and it this a few spots for me he has had a rough upbringing and suffered in ways not many can understand. Then you add in one thing that he doesn’t want, a woman, she needs to trust him, she wants his trust in return. Only one problem, he doesn’t trust women. Ever. His rules are simple, one time only, no kissing and that’s it. No complications, easy right? It was until she came into the picture during a job they are on. But how will his story end…
I loved this story, but I liked them all, Blades story hits a few new scenarios and you want to cry and punch him in the throat a few times throughout the story.

LITTLE DO YOU KNOW (BAYOU DEVILS MC, #5) BY A.M. MYERS – REVIEW BY MELISSA AGENA

Little Do You Know (Bayou Devils MC 5)Little Do You Know by A.M. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series just keeps getting better and better! Little Do You Know is Book 5 in the Bayou Devils MC series by A.M. Myers. Noah “Hennesey” LeBlanc has been in love with Kady Sinclair since they were 11 years old. They had been planning on getting married and starting a family when Noah got sent to prison for 6 years. When Noah gets out, his only mission is to find Kady because she seems to be missing and continue where they left off 6 years prior. One problem though…Kady is nowhere to be found. However, leave it up to the MC to find her! When he finds her, Kady doesn’t want anything to do with him. There is a reason why she doesn’t want him but you will have to read this book to find out! LOL. The chemistry between the two of them is sizzling and way off the charts. They love to fight with each other, which is funny and super sexy at the same time! The sexy scenes are downright hot! But this book is an emotional rollercoaster, so break out the tissues and have them waiting for you! You can read this book as a standalone, however, like all series I suggest reading from book one. I absolutely adore this series and I cannot wait for the next one! This is a definite plus in my book and would not hesitate to recommend this series to anyone who likes books on Motorcycle Clubs or even just a good series!

Broken Sand Dollar
(The Sand Dollar Series Book 3)
J D Boudreaux
5 out of 5 stars

I was first introduced to J.D Boudreaux’s writing when I stumbled across the beautiful cover art of Wish I Had a Nickel. At the time I had read that novel I had somehow missed it was the second in a series. While some aspects left me curious what I was missing, I was really captivated by J.D Boudreaux’s storytelling and loved the story regardless. That being said, since this is a series meant be read in order I highly recommend starting at the beginning for the full picture.
I felt that Broken Sand Dollar was a fantastic ending to a unique storyline. I tend to feel that so many romances are typical and predictable, J.D Boudreaux crafted a series with heart warming characters, great twists, and raw emotion that felt new and refreshing to me. This is definitely an author I will keep a lookout for.

The Inheritance
The Story of an Unlikely Submissive
By India Kells
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a short but full BDSM story. Loaded with more than sexual feelings. Not for those under 18, due to adult content.

India Kells has written this fast read. While it is the full of sexual scenes, it also has feelings and a storyline. I feel this story is far more than just sex, it’s the struggle of being a submissive. I think this is well written and enough to keep you turning the pages. I also love the characters she has put in this story. They stand out and will be forever on my mind. This book is unforgettable. I can’t wait to read more from this author. Well Done India Kells! Well Done!

Luke: The McKades of Texas Book 3 by Kimberly Lewis – Review by Robin Rankin

Luke (The McKades of Texas, #3)Luke by Kimberly Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luke by Kimberly Lewis is the third book in The McKades of Texas series. I ended up going with the audiobooks which was narrated by Tiffany Williams.

If you haven’t listened to an audiobook before having the right narrator is extremely important. If it’s the wrong narrator then it could end up making a well written book not as enjoyable which has happened to me in the past. I’m very happy to say that this was not the case this time.

Karlie comes home after she graduates from college and one of the first people she runs into is Luke. They have known each other all their lives, he sees her as a little sister, she sees him with hearts in her eyes. Their story is very sweet and I enjoyed reading it.

Tiffany William’s did a great job bringing each one of the characters their own personality. She had the Texas drawl down and I liked that like here in Texas not everyone has a thick accent.

I look forward to reading more books by Ms. Lewis and find more audiobooks narrated by Ms. Williams.

Each story could be read as a standalone but I recommend reading in order to get a real feel for all the characters and how they all interact. This series has definitely become one of my favorite MC series’s all the characters just grab hold of my heart and won’t let go and Blade and Tash are no different. Each having their own story to tell readers. There’s definitely moments that had me on the edge of my seat trying to read faster to see what was about to happen. Another amazing story I’m giving five stars to and highly recommend.

Seraphina's Initiation (Seraphina, #2)Seraphina’s Initiation
By: Sheena Hutchinson
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Seraphina’s Initiation (The Seraphina Series Book 2) by Sheena Hutchinson was a fast pace, action packed follow up, that had me hooked.

This is the second book in the Seraphina Series, and I will tell you, this book is everything I wanted the first book to be. Unpredictable, constantly moving plot, well developed and still growing characters, Twist, turnes, and pure action, made this book not only better the the first, but it beat it out of the water. I’m glad I stuck with this series.

I have to say I enjoyed Seraphina’s character much more in this book then the first. Now she wasn’t fully there, with me falling in love, but she showed that she was a mature adult.. at times. There’s still some childlikeness about her, that for me, is annoying, and she’s still just a little too naive for my liking. But she is growing as a character, and as the story moved on, I grew more and more attached.

Overall this book, is worth your time. It is part of a continuation series, so I highly suggest reading the first book first, even if it isn’t as strong as this one. It is a set up book, so there’s a lot of info in it, that’s needed to understand this complex growing series plot.

So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get devoured by this truly unique book/series.

Happy Reading

His First Lady by Avery Scott – Review by Heather Bahm

His First LadyHis First Lady by Avery Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

His First Lady, by Avery Scott, is a billionaire romance with a military undertone. On tap are one speechwriter and a presidential candidate; Kendall and Michael seem like oil and vinegar, but there is something deeper that works for these characters with more in common than anticipated. However, as the story unfolds, the author leads the reader on a journey – along with the characters. The interactions between the main and supporting characters was entertaining, and a times a little light. However, I felt the author did a remarkable job creating a story that was enticing with realistic characters and situations as the story continues on. I liked the characters in their portrayal and the pace of the story. Read this story to discover what situations the Kendall and Michael find along the way and whether or not it strengths them or ultimately leaves them on separate paths.

Lost in Love by Charlotte Roth is the second book in The Miss Apple Pants series. The story picks up a several years after the first book. The story is wonderful with witty dialogue between the characters. Ella is still finding herself and embarks on adventures with her friends and family. I enjoy the book because there is a lot of different parts that people can relate to in their own lives. Ella is cute and fun.
I like the dialogue and the growth of the characters from the first book. I think this could be read as a standalone but better enjoyed if the first book is read before this one. I look forward to reading more from Charlotte Roth in the future and hope to see more of Miss Apple Pants in the future.

Rebel Heart (The Immortal Kindred Series #2)Rebel Heart by Clara Winter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

REBEL HEART is book two of “The Immortal Kindred Spirits” Series. I read and loved the first in this series and was looking forward to this story.

There is absolutely no set-up in this story, it jumps right in and I was a little disoriented because it was not what I remembered from the first book in the series. I was confused about about the time frame and location and about what war was being fought. I had to sit back for a bit before I could settle into the story.

It is an enjoyable read that moved at a good pace. There are characters who I immediately appreciated and others who I could do without. Friendships are strong and love is stronger. There is a cadence to the author’s writing style that I enjoy. This story is told in a dual point of view which brought a great “view” to the story.

I look forward to reading book 3 in the series. Note to self; read 1 & 2 again before beginning book 3.

What She Lost And FoundWhat She Lost And Found by M.L. Garcia
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What She Lost and Found is M.L. Garcia’s debut novel and what a debut it is! It is a combination of romance, mystery, suspense, heartbreaking tragedy … and healing … We meet Daniela who lost her innocence in an extremely horrible way and it all got compounded by even more horrible event just two days later. These events have changed her life for ever … We also meet Nathan who needs to find his way into Daniela’s heart … this journey is long and painful and when you join them on that journey you need to be prepared for heartbreak and despair, you will also experience hope and love …
You can feel that this is the beginning of a great career and I am convinced that the next book will feel ‘smoother’, it is hard to explain – it was a great story with characters that you fall in love with and I admire the way she handled a very sensitive issue but it felt a bit clunky at times that I know she will smooth out the more she writes!
I am walking away from this book with something that M.L. Garcia wrote, it has been ‘singing’ to me at the back of my head and asking me to remember it for the moment when I feel down: “If you’ve been through hell and found the courage to survive, be happy you had the strength to make it through. If you figured out what makes your happiness thrive, be grateful you had the wisdom to figure it out. And for the moments that bring pure joy into your life, cherish each one.”

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is one of those books that is my hidden pleasure. The politic books. I love them! not many people write them but they are the ones that are my one click!

This was written off a Presidential campaign but it wasn’t super angsty. It was sweet and easy to read and I read it in one sitting.

Michael is on the Presidential campaign race. He has been divorced twice and he persona is more of the ladies man than anything and that’s something that doesn’t work in his favor. His campaign manager needs to find someone to stand in for the First lady so that he can appeal to the public. Enter Kendall. She is a speech writer for his campaign. Their chemistry is off the charts but can they keep the public happy? Can they prove that this is real?

This was such an amazing written book. It’s light hearted and hooked me from the beginning. These kind of books are a guilty indulgence of mine and this was perfect!

Another well written story by Jane Suen. Coming Home is the sequel to Flowers in December. Connor has returned to his childhood home after the death of his mother. He rekindles some relationships with those from his past. And hopes to rekindle a relationship with Mary Ann.

As is usual with Jane Suen’s stories is the underlying “moral of the story”. After reading this story I am left wondering which relationships I should go and “fix”.

I suggest reading Flowers in December, so you get a better feel for Connor and the situations that made him the way he is.

Back In The Ring (The Predator Series #4) by Brooke May – Review By Chantelle Smith

Back in the RingBack in the Ring by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another brilliant read from Brooke May. Being my second read from this author I knew what to expect, but what I didn’t expect was for this read to be as good as it was. Back in the Ring is part of The Predator Series and can be read as a standalone.

This was an incredible book of moving on, and having a second chance at love, all the while trying to carry on living a painful day to day life whether that’s from laying low or trying to carry on a legacy of a loved one and to be struggling even more so.
The emotions that are in this read are real, raw and relatable to many people, and while reading I could feel the characters, Noah & Bijou’s emotions roll off the page. While you are rooting for the characters throughout, you do wonder whether their individual pain and heartbreak is too strong for them to move on and get a HEA with each other.
None of the less with all the emotions in this read, with one minute having tears in my eyes and the next smiling, it’s a brilliant romance read that I couldn’t put down, I was captivated from start to finish.

After this read, I can’t wait to see what happened in the other books in this series! I will definitely be going back and reading the others and whatever else this author brings – Brooke May has definitely become one of my go-to authors after this one!
This book should not be missed!

Surviving ValenciaSurviving Valencia by Holly Tierney-Bedord
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Surviving Valencia by Holly Tierney-Bedord is a story that made me think, had me wondering, and took me in a direction that I wasn’t expecting. At first the story seemed a little slow and confusing. But as it progressed and the story unfolded, what I discovered was a cleverly crafted story that twisted and turned and then twisted some more. The way it’s told from both past and present perspectives really helped to build a ‘picture’ of how the past events have influenced the character/s and got her/them to where they are today. There is a lot of gloominess, and depressing details that ‘coloured’ the storyline- but as I look back, I see what the author was trying to achieve and how well that all played into the whole mood and tone of the story. I had trouble connecting to the character/s, but I did ‘feel’ for her/them- and overall this didn’t detract too much from my enjoyment of it all. I would like to have know her name though- that was a little frustrating. But again, by the end, it kind of made sense why we were not given/told her name.
This isn’t a ‘fluffy’ story, it is a ‘warts-and-all’ account of a younger sister coming to terms with the loss of her older, ‘perfect’ siblings- and the shadow that they left her living under. The story is definitely not what it seems and will get you guessing and give you quite a few head scratching moments. The story has drama, mystery, tension, secrets, life changing events, devastation, acceptance, twists, shocks, and more.
I have read quite a few of Ms. Tierney-Bedord’s books now and she always manages to craft something quite original. She has her own unique style and always delivers a well written and intriguing read. The story is a standalone, and a great addition to the other books in her body of work.

Thank you Ms. Tierney-Bedord!

The Light at DawnThe Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery is one of those books that are real, a work of fiction that uses today’s headlines and delves into what is happening in our world today. This is the story of Angelia White, a wife and mother, a woman who must navigate through a situation that no parent should ever have to experience. It is also the story of Mark Lyon and his journey through the darkest of days. These two tragic characters learn that no matter what your opinion may be, there is always someone going through the same or similar situation believing differently. Nobody is wrong and nobody is right you just need to learn to see things through another’s eyes and maybe compromise along the way.
I won’t lie and say this was an easy book to read. There were many instances where I had to stop and breathe. Ms. Montgomery paints a very poignant picture at times and makes the reader think “How would I react? What are my views? What is right? What is wrong?” No matter how or when you lose someone there are always questions not to mention those feelings of things never getting better. This author did a terrific job of showing that no matter how bad things are there is always a reason behind them. Read this and cheer for Angelia and Mark to get their light at dawn.

Little Do You Know (Bayou Devils MC Series Book #5) by A.M. Myers – Review by Angela Hayes

Little Do You Know (Bayou Devils MC 5)Little Do You Know by A.M. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Little Do You Know is the fifth book in the Bayou Devils MC Series by A.M. Myers. The Bayou Devils books are one of my favourite MC series ever. I have loved the previous four, so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one. To say I had high expectations would be an understatement, in fact I was concerned that my expectations were too high and there was no way Ms. Myers would be able to live up to them. But I needn’t have worried, as she delivered everything I could have hoped for, and then some!
This is Noah (Henn) and Kady’s story. It wasn’t at all like any of the scenarios that had been running through my mind. Ms. Myers took the story in a completely different direction to what I’d thought, and even though some of it was heartbreaking and emotional, I devoured it! I really don’t want to spoil any of it for you by going into detail- which is hard for me to do, because the ‘fangirl’ in me just wants to ‘discuss’.
As with the other books, I loved catching up with all the characters that we’ve met and come to love from the other books- the MC bonds of brotherhood and camaraderie is just wonderful to see. I love each and every member and how they are such a big part of the overall story. A great group of people. Makes me want to be part of it all. There were funny quips and banter that had me laughing out loud, then there were heart-shattering events and revelations that brought me to tears- the, I’m sobbing so hard I can’t see what I’m reading kind of crying…. and I couldn’t put it down, I HAD TO KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN! There were times the story gave me heart palpitations and anxiety from the intensity of what the characters were going through, or from the revelations that were made- which I think being able to evoke such a reaction in a reader, is a sure sign of a gifted author.
Can’t wait to get my hands on “Never Let Me Go” (releasing in May 2019).
Bring on Book #6!!

Thank you, Ms. Myers!

His First Lady by Avery Scott is a very sweet and easy to read story that takes place during a presidential campaign. It was such an interesting premise, and the blurb really did intrigue me- then add the sexy cover and I was sold. I did enjoy the story, but it didn’t grab me quite as hard as I was hoping for. The story is good, it is well written, but it was a little predictable and just lacked the intensity and added drama, or some suspense- which would have elevated it to the next level for me.
Michael Reese is a senior congressman from Kentucky and Presidential candidate on the campaign trail. He is twice divorced, with a bit of a reputation as a lady’s man. His campaign manager is worried that the people’s perception of his love life could affect his chances come the election. So, it is decided that he will need to find a ‘First Lady’ to stand beside him through the campaign. Someone who will help him seem more appealing to the voters. It can’t be just anyone, and most importantly it will need to be someone he can trust. That’s where his new speech writer, Kendall Bailey comes into the picture. She’s perfect for the ‘job’, and so Michael makes a deal with her that will help them both. But can they maintain a professional arrangement when their chemistry gets in the way? And with the world watching, the pressure is on. Things may not quite go according to plan? So, what happens you may ask? Well, if you like a sweet story, with just a little drama, great characters, and a fairly ‘clean’ storyline (i.e. fade-out intimate scenes) – then you should dive in and discover all the lovely details for yourself.
I would love to have given this book a higher rating, and debated about what rating to give it- part of me was leaning towards 3 stars because it just didn’t have all the ingredients that I would’ve loved it to have had, and which would’ve made it far more memorable for me,  and make it stand out from the crowd. I really wanted to know more about the characters too- such as their ages, as well as more of their backstories.
But overall, it was definitely a light and fun read.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Scott does next.

He struggles with life problems that normal young adults struggle with at this age. Braedyn is a great character and I enjoyed watching him grow throughout the story. I did feel compassion for him as he feels that he has so much on his plate. I didn’t regret picking up this book and you won’t either. A must read!
