Not So Broken (Love Grows #1) by Renee Regent – Review by Kerry Baker

Not So Broken (Love Grows Series, # 1)Not So Broken by Renee Regent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not So Broken by Renee Regent is the first book on the Love Grows series. This book will carry you along on an amazing storyline that will be sure to tug at the heart strings.
Having read a few thrillers lately I loved the fact that I knew what to expect from a book like this. It made it so easy to lose myself in the story for an afternoon and think of nothing but what was happening on the pages in front of me.
The book had a great emotional element to it as well which really draws you in and keeps you reading. This was a great way to start a new series and I am looking forward to book 2.

The Light at Dawn by K. L. Montgomery – Review by Tracy Wilkin

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

The Light at Dawn is a beautiful story by K. L. Montgomery. The story is about the love story of Angelia and Mark. It is a gripping and tragic tale that morphs into a beautiful love story. At times, oh so heartbreaking to read, I felt my heart grow bigger and bigger at the end of each chapter.

Angelia and Mark suffer unimaginable tragedy. The author tells it from different perspectives, and while it doesn’t seem possible for it to ever work, somehow the elegant and soulful way this author delivers a story, it just all fits, both the heartbreak and the happiness. The balance of these elements is often tough to pull off, but K. L. Montgomery does it spectacularly. A tale of living life, experiencing loss and heartbreak, to rebuilding your life and reviving that spark that made the characters shine. A practitioner of words, this author gave me an unforgettable moment where I got to know her people, cried with them, hurt with them, laughed with them, loved with them, healed with them.

A memorable story that contains sensitive content, but is beautiful in it’s profound and persistent uniqueness. 5 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Light at Dawn by K. L. Montgomery is one story that I recommend you read. This is a new author for me. I have learned that Montgomery does an amazing job of building her characters so that the reader of her story can have a bond with them. I have taken the emotional journey with Angelia. As I was reading the story, I felt more like a sister with Angelia instead of someone just reading her story. This story is about love, loss and healing process. Mark feels like he has lost everyone and everything. He wanted to stop the horrible felling that a parent goes through if they lose a child. I advise having a box of tissues close while you read this story.

Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan Series Book #2) by Pamela DuMond – Review by Angela Hayes

Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan, #2)Movie Star by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Movie Star is the highly anticipated second instalment in the 21st Century Courtesan Series by Pamela DuMond. I can’t get enough of this series, and characters! Ms. DuMond won me over with the first book, and earned herself a spot on my ‘must-read’ list. As this book picks up right where the first book left off, and has quite a few recurring characters, I really recommend reading book #1 before starting on this one- as the first book gives all the important backstory and character introductions, which you should know in order to fully appreciate this brilliant book! As with the first book, this one made quite an impression. It’s got originality in spades, while being complex, funny, HOT, sexy, erotic, suspenseful, mysterious, and intriguing- which is the perfect recipe for an addictive read.
As we discover in book one, Evelyn Berlinger (Evie) is an empath who had quite a tumultuous childhood, especially one particularly tragic event which changes her life forever. Because of this tragedy she suppressed her empathic abilities- shutting them down and just tried to get on with her life. But on reaching adulthood, she was left with no choice but to take on the financial responsibility for her family, which put a heavy strain on her, and her finances. So, when an opportunity arises that would enable her to earn a lot of money- Evie accepts. And that’s how she started working for the ‘Ma Maison Agency’, as a high priced escort- using her empathic abilities to provide a unique experience for her wealthy clientele, who willingly pay her costly fee to help ‘heal’ whatever has ‘broken’ them and is ‘holding them back’. But her ‘job’ hasn’t been without its problems, and Evie now wants out. She’s down to the last few clientele, and we get a front row seat to it all.
In this book Evie flies out to Los Angeles, to work with A-List actor and Oscar contender, Jake Keller. Jake should be using the Oscar opportunity to catapult his career to dizzying heights- but instead he’s become closed off, shut everyone out, and retreated from the world. His ‘team’ is concerned for him and his career- and as a last resort, Evie is called in to ‘help’ him find and deal with his issue. But this won’t be such a simple task. There is a lot playing out under the surface- with secrets, guilt, hidden agendas, and Hollywood politics, all coming into play. Then, add in a crisis back home, an on-going ‘stalker’ issue, and a unexpected work situation….. and this story really takes off!!!
I loved Evie from the moment I met her in book #1, she’s a fantastic character- wonderfully complex, unique, endearing, interesting, and entirely memorable- I have loved every second of her story and have become completely invested in her and the outcome. I loved meeting Jake this time round, his story was unexpected, but really well done. I also love all the secondary, characters, who really added their own ‘stamp’ to the story. There are a few characters who stand out and intrigue me, and I hope we will get to know much more about them in the next book/s.
Now I really can’t wait for the next exciting instalment, “Beloved”, to be released- soon, I hope!!!! SQUEEEEE Bring on book #3!!!

Thank you, Ms. DuMond!

Eight Steps by Taylor Sullivan a five-star read that will help you get your nerd on. This is the first novel in the Nerdy by Nature series and the next needs to be here. This should come with a warning, do not drink while reading as you are likely to spit it out, I laughed so hard I wore my drink. I got my copy after the re-edit and it was great, it showed us how bad editing can ruin a great book after reading some of the other earlier reviews. I knew I wanted to read this as I adored another book by this author, and I am glad I did as it was so much better. Elliot was great, he had a great charm about him and when you get to know him, he will clearly become a fave new book boyfriend.

Rules of Engagement: A Single Dad Romance, (Platonically Complicated Book 3) by Mika Jolie. I have read most of this author’s work and I can honestly say, I truly enjoyed them all and this book was no different.
This could be either a forbidden friends type of a book or even a best friends little sister book but either way it was a fabulous read. Lucas wants to focus on his life with his daughter but his ex wife is wanting to make things extremely difficult for him. When his best friends younger sister, Kate, who is also a great friend to him, comes up with a way to calm the bitter custody battle. She will become his “fake” fiancé. Sounds like an amazing plan….. except that Lucas has been having thoughts about Kate for a while now…. and Kate has always had a crush on Lucas. What could possibly go wrong, or right………. All I know is that this is definitely a must read!! You will fall in love!!

Deepest Midnight: Book One of The Immortal Kindred Series by Clara Winter – Review by Katie Matthews

Deepest Midnight (The Immortal Kindred Series #1)Deepest Midnight by Clara Winter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Deepest Midnight was a brilliant read; I was hooked from beginning to end. The author‘s writing was excellent, the story flowed well, it was easy to read and very engaging. The author’s attention to detail was great which made it even better to read. The characters were well thought out and developed well over the story. Vampire stories are amongst my favourite paranormal romance reads but I do find sometimes they are much the same so I liked that this one was a little different, I could tell the author had really thought about what she was writing about and which direction she wanted her characters to go in. There was a dark undertone to the story too which I particularly liked. I enjoyed the little snippets into Millicent’s past and finding out more about her.
Overall I thought that this was a fantastic paranormal romance read with some great twists and turns which left me guessing what was going to happen! I am really looking forward to reading book 2 in the series and I highly recommend this one!

Rebel Heart: Book Two of the Immortal Kindred Series by Clara Winter – Review by Erin Wolf

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

I give Rebel Heart: Book Two of the Immortal Kindred Series by Clara Winter, 4 stars.
*This review may contain spoilers from book one of the series.*

We met Annie in book one, but she was just a secondary character. This book shows you her story, how she became who she is today. She was a Rebel spy, working to help bring the English to their knees. She does all she can, but she always wishes she could do more. She wants to be stronger, like the men she works with. Then she gets captured by the Hessians. She is no fool, she knows her life is soon over — and it will not be an easy death from what she has heard of these evil men. But then the unexpected happens. A man with the most captivating eyes comes into where she is being held and helps her escape. She has no idea why, but she is drawn to him. He seems different, almost more than human. But this was only a chance meeting, surely she will never see him again. She can’t stop thinking about him, though. Then she meets and quickly befriends a woman who seems to have the same certain qualities as her soldier. When she learns what they really are, she wants to be like them. It will give her the advantage as a spy. But what will become of her after the war? What about the man she can’t stop thinking about? Little does she know just how much the future holds for her.

Most of this book is set in the past and therefore does not really connect directly with book one. However, there are some events that happen that will make much more sense if you read book one first. That being said, I loved this book. I took an immediate liking to Annie and was so happy when I found out this book was about her. She has such passion and drive. She does not give up, doing what needs to be done. She was way ahead of her time, yet adapts easily to the time she is in. Thayer is also an interesting character. You really do understand why he is the way he is in the beginning of the book. Plus you see Annie melting his heart, and she doesn’t even realising how much she is changing him. Yes, this is a love story. But there is so much action going on with the war, then subsequent things happening later on in the book. Oh, you didn’t think I’d give it away, did you? I can tell you that there were surprises I never saw coming. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.

I highly recommend both of the books in the series. You will not be disappointed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pandora’s Poison by Sacha Fortuné
Hart & Cole Book 2
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

WOW! She did it again!! Sacha is killing me with these books! I loved the second book in this series just as much, if not more than the first book. Again it was a rough start for me but as I kept going the story got more and more intense! I would definitely recommend reading the first book before tackling this one, as it gives insight to the characters in the second book.

In this story we get to see Darren and Luisa’s lives, and how the events in the first book are affecting them as a family and married couple. I love that the story is told in both point of views, this way I can get a feeling for both characters and how they are feeling and what they are thinking.

Luisa makes me so mad. She is irritating and not in control of her feelings. Do you love your husband of 12 years enough to fight for your marriage and try to overcome all the obstacles you have faced together? Would you rather sneak around with the man you had an affair with 4 years ago and ruin any chance at keeping your family together? She goes on and on about how she loves her husband and then when he sticks around even through her infidelity, because he does love her and want to keep his marriage together not only for him but the kids as well, but she continually throws Nicole in his face and then still tries to hide her relationship with Gianni. She doesn’t hide her relationship so much as the relationship is now out in the open, but she keeps their conversations private and to me that is still terrible because of Gianni’s feelings for her.

Darren is not innocent in all of this, but he is still pretty bad off. From the first book we know he is in love with Nicole even though he won’t admit it to himself. It does irritate me that he continually thinks about her and has the nerve to complain about Luisa’s actions. I hated how he kept saying Nicole was the one who ruined his marriage when really it was his own fault as well as Luisa’s and they dragged Nicole and Chris into their mess. In the end Darren gives Gianni a proposition and I am overly excited to see how it all plays out.

Overall this series has been a completely fantastic read. The length of the books kind of threw me off at first but, I promise reading this series all the way through will be totally worth it. I finished this book in 2 days and was devastated when it ended. I will be eagerly awaiting the 3rd book.

This was my first book by this author and I loved it…Was a fun break from the heavier books I’ve been reading lately, not that I don’t love those as well but this one was a lot of fun..Don’t get me wrong there were times I wanted to slap someone or throw my kindle at the wall but in the end I was completely satisfied and can not wait to read more of this series and want to check out whatever else this author has available.

I loved the main characters Aspen and Finn and love their names even, and something I thought made the book that much better was the friendships and family members that were written. This author also took great care in describing locations, something I find sometimes to be too wordy and cause me to skim, but this one had me actually picturing everything in my mind and I truly appreciated that.

I highly recommend reading this story and I’m sure if you do you will be as excited as I am to read more.

Loved it!!!

Really?! Omg that ending…not a mind altering cliff hanger but enough of an unfinished story to have me wanting to pull my hair out!! This is my second book by this author with Book 1 Player being my first and I loved Player but this one..Holy Buckets was so completely awesome I don’t even have the words.

Many truths came out in this part but not enough to have it all figured out and my heart is just broke with some of the revealed secrets that came out in this one. I can’t even begin to predict where this author is going to take the rest of this story, she is handling it beautifully and Im not going to go into anything that may ruin the reading of both books by others.

I have fallen head over heels for this author’s writing, its flawless in my opinion and there is no added content throughout that would normally make a person skim through…and so easy to read and before you know it your done and sitting there wanting to throw something.

I loved it and highly recommend you start with book 1, I can’t imagine starting with this one I really and truly don’t think it would work.

I completely loved this book!!

The story Surviving Grace: Book Five (Surviving Series) by Virginia Wine is a romantic suspense book. It is a story that drew me in from the very beginning. I have truly enjoyed reading the first four books in the series and this the fifth one was just as wonderful. This is a story that is emotional. There are heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. My emotions went up and down the entire time I was reading it. I enjoyed reading about Grace. She is a beautiful and strong woman. While the darkness of her past has her feeling broken at times, she has an inner strength that just won’t die. It is sad at times to read how she feels and how she sees herself. Grace is a character that I have grown to love since I first read about her. My heart went out to her and she is someone that I only wished happiness for. She is a character that you just want to embrace. Read this book to find out what the future has in store for her. There are times when I wondered what was going to happen next. The suspense had me turning pages. I also enjoyed reading about the characters that have been brought forward from the previous books. You get a feeling of family when they are together as they banter/interact with each other and Grace. There are romantic and steamy moments in this story. The story has a smooth flow to it and doesn’t let you go until you have read the last page. Don’t miss out on the latest amazing story sure to win over your heart. It is a book I highly recommend reading.

The story Dig Two Graves: A Gripping Crime Thriller (Solomon Gray Book 1) by Keith Nixon is a thrilling mystery book. It is a story that hooks you in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. It had me turning pages in suspense wondering what was going to happen next. The book moves at a fast pace. While reading you can’t help but wonder just who is the one responsible for the homicides that are occurring. I felt like I was trying to put together a puzzle. I enjoyed reading about the main character of Detective Sergeant Solomon Gray. He is a man that lost his son. He feels the guilt that he was there and couldn’t stop it. Not knowing if your child is just missing or dead is very trying on a parent and Gray doesn’t always make the best choices when trying to calm his mind and numb the pain. When he is called to the scene of a teenager who has died, Gray can’t help but realize the boy would be the same age as his son. What begins next is an investigation that will lead Gray down dark paths. Will Gray find the shooter of Reverend David Hill and of the other bodies that are now piling up? Read this book to find out. There are many additional characters that you are introduced to in this story. While many of them are workmates there are also those who have their own agenda and I found myself wondering who they really were. Full of drama and suspense this is a book that you don’t want to miss out on. Highly recommended reading. It is the first story in a series and I look forward to reading the next one.

It is a book that hooks you in right from the beginning and doesn’t let go until you have read the final page. I found myself on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Alex Parker and Mallory Rooney Alex is a man that is part of a secret government agency that takes care of those who harm others before they reach the justice system. He is good at what he does. He also holds onto guilt from the past. Special Agent Mallory Rooney is a woman who is beautiful, strong, and independent. She has always felt guilt over the abduction of her identical twin sister. She has always lived in the shadow of that event. Both Alex and Mallory have a past that haunts them. They are both characters that I grew to care about with each chapter that I read and wanted them to find happiness. What will happen when Alex is ordered to watch Mallory because of questions she is asking about a vigilante killer? Is Mallory in danger now that she has started investigating a serial killer? There is an attraction between Alex and Mallory. Will the feelings/emotions that they have be destroyed by the lies and betrayal of Alex’s life? What does the future hold for Mallory and Alex? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had me turning pages. It is suspenseful. The story is written with a lot of detail regarding the investigation of a serial killer and I felt like I was right there with the characters trying to put together the clues and leads of the case. I also enjoyed reading about the part that many of the secondary characters had and their interactions with Alex and Mallory. There is intense and romantic dialogue. There are some steamy moments that make the temperature in the room rise. There are twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. Don’t miss out on an amazing story that had me reminding myself to breathe! I highly recommend it.

EIGHT STEPS: A FRIENDS TO LOVERS ROMANCE BY TAYLOR SULLIVAN – REVIEW BY MELISSA AGENA

Eight Steps to Alpha (Nerdy by Nature, #1)Eight Steps to Alpha by Taylor Sullivan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A romantic comedy for the win! Eight Steps to Alpha is A Friends to Lovers Romance by Taylor Sullivan. This book was so cute I couldn’t put it down! Fe (the element for iron) is a science teacher’s assistant. Elliot is her roommate of 4 years and best friend of 5 years. There has never been any romantic chemistry between them. That is…until now. Elliot is enamored by a co-worker, Mary and want to get her to notice him. Fe devises a plan so that in 8 simple steps, Mary will be putty at his feet. What Fe didn’t plan is that during this process, Elliot and she would become closer than they ever have. With the push of their family and friends, things shift for these two and what ends up happening is magical. I will be a bit of spoiler and say that this is a happy ever after book. But, it’s the journey that makes this book so great! I loved this story and the way that this author writes is really awesome. The words flowed like they should, which caused me not to be able to put the book down. There were so many funny parts, frustrating parts and a few sexy scenes that were smoking hot. I loved the banter between the two main characters and then the interaction of the secondary characters made me fall in love with the book even more. This is a definite recommendation and I cannot wait to read more books from this author!

Elli wants a certain someone to notice him, so he asks his best friend Fe to help him. He wants to be just like the men in the books Fe reads, an alpha. They have a month to get him ready, will they be successful? Can he get the girl he wants?

I’m tired of being the nice guy. I want to be that guy. The guy they have fantasies about. Just once. Elli

Fe creates a list of steps for Elli to complete. I had so many LOL moments as these two went through the steps. Something else starts to happen as well, they are starting to feel a connection that is drawing them even closer. Will they realize the connection before it’s too late?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I really liked both Elli and Fe, the secondary characters were good also. Taylor Sullivan does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. Watching the friendship grow through the story was great, you felt like you were right there with them. I look forward to reading more from Taylor.

Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan Book 2) by Pamela DuMond – Review by Robin Rankin

Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan, #2)Movie Star by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Movie Star is the second book in the 21st Century Courtesan by Pamela DuMond. I hated having to put it down, especially the closer I got to the end. I really feel like the book turned a pivotal corner in Wisconsin of all places.

Evie continues to try and heal her clients and this time it’s a Hollywood star by the name of Jake Keller. He is on the cusp of becoming huge but something is holding him back and it’s Evie’s job to figure it out.

I really like Evie a lot, there are a few others I like as well but I think they’re going to have larger roles in the next book.

I will be waiting impatiently for the next book since this one has left me hanging. I hope I don’t have to wait long.

Extended Flight Tales of the Dragonfly Book 3 By Tamara Ferguson

Four Stars

It’s astounding the lengths people go to for greed. The blood they stain their hands with and the lives they ruin. This story revolves around a group of people connected in many ways. Some by death others by fate. Kiley was an interesting character she was a little strange but courageous. She hasn’t given up on finding the truth. There are so many different moving parts of this story that you really need to focus so you don’t lose the connections. I really liked this story and definitely will be checking out more.

Crime Lord’s Captive (Crime Lord Series Book 1) by Mia Knight – Review by Maura Harper

Crime Lord's Captive (Crime Lord, #1)Crime Lord’s Captive by Mia Knight
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Yeesh!!! This is book one of a series and the world building in this story was amazing. I felt for the m/c almost instantly and the things she has to deal with, wow – just wow.

There is so much that goes on in this story. It’s layered in such a way that it keeps getting more and more intense as the story unfolds. It’s like veils being lowered again and again making things even darker and murkier. This is a very dark and twisted “mafia” story and while some of it is incredibly cliche’, some of it is original and unique. The relationship between the female protagonist and her bff cousin is the most realistic relationship in the story. They both broke my heart just a little bit.

I did enjoy reading this story and look forward to reading more in the series to see if anyone gets their HEA.
