Rebel Heart: Book Two of the Immortal Kindred Series
By: Clara Winter
5 out of 5 stars

The story Rebel Heart: Book Two of the Immortal Kindred Series by Clara Winter is a paranormal romance book. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning. It is the second book in a series and I loved this story just as much as the first one. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Annie and Captain Thayer Emmerich. Annie is a beautiful, strong, independent woman. She is a spy who after one meeting can’t forget about Captain Thayer. She is drawn to him. She is someone who believes in a cause and doesn’t shy away from danger. Thayer is a German soldier. He can feel that Annie is different than others that he has met and finds himself attracted to her. He goes so far as to help her. Is this a love that has been brought together by fate? Emilia Romanov is an evil, cold, and cruel woman. She has her own agenda and plans. Will she destroy any chance of happiness for Thayer? Is there a future for Thayer and Annie? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down all the way through. You can’t help but feel the passion and desire between Annie and Thayer. There are steamy scenes that make the temperature in the room rise and your heart swoon. Annie is a character that I grew to love with each chapter that I read and wanted her to be happy. I also enjoyed reading about the characters of Millicent and Alexandre. They have their own part to play in Annie’s story. Don’t miss out on an amazing book that will keep you glued to the pages until you have read the final one. It is a story and series that I highly recommend reading.

Luke (Dark Water Security Series Book 1) by Madison Quinn – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Luke (Dark Water Security #1)Luke by Madison Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luke is book one in the Dark Water Security series by Madison Quinn. A new and exciting author and story I could not wait to disappear into.

Luke survived a kidnapping, but bears the scars from the trauma. Living his life is a battle that he faces every day. It was heartbreaking to read his story. The emotions cut me to the core. Gripped by bravery, the struggle, the intensity that was this mesmirising character. It was a beautifully moving experience. Dark and light, this story left me emotionally spent, but utterly fulfilled. Suspense, drama, soul searching, passion, violence and happiness all bundled together to create an epic read. 5 stars.

Penny For Your Thoughts: A Sweet Romance (Sand Dollar Series Book 1) by J.D. Boudreaux – Review by Sara Oxton

Penny For Your Thoughts (Sand Dollar Series Book 1)Penny For Your Thoughts by J.D. Boudreaux
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Penny For your Thoughts by J.D. Boudreaux is a five-star read that will have you thinking. This is the first novel in the Sand Dollar series and I for one can’t wait on the next one. It was charmingly romantic but there was a real current throughout. Yes, love is amazing but it’s also hard. This story does have places that it could have been polished and it could have gone better, but it shows us the talent of the author coming through and the story was so good. Penny was a good character, you will find her story and be thrilled by it and when you add Alex to the mix it just makes it so much better. I can’t wait to see the next one as I hope the author has improved the bits that need it, I have a good feeling that the experience will only develop, and we will see some great writing from this author.

Infamy, Feisty Lawyers Series Book Two, by Seelie Kay

4-Stars

Infamy was an exciting story where the characters raced against time to stop a group of terrorists. They promise to make planes disappear and the group fears that it is going to be 9/11 all over again. I enjoyed following the characters and loved that the author brought back Anders and Dianna from the first book. I loved Anders character and still do. I also loved Cade. He is a new father in this one and still just as loving and protective of his wife, Janet, and their son Ethan. Adding the family of royals into the mix was a different and interesting twist. It seemed to really add to the story.

Crime Lord’s Captive by Mia Knight a four-star read that will captivate you. This is the first novel in the Crime Lord’s series, and I can’t wait for more. This was dark and twisted and heavy. There are elements that you will adore but on the other hand there were bits I hated, at times I loved Lyla but at others I could have happily left her on the door step. The action is well done, and the chemistry just sublime if you can get over Lyla and just appreciate her place and what she has been through then you should enjoy this one.

An Improper Encounter (The Macalisters, #3)An Improper Encounter by Erica Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

An Improper Encounter was another wonderful read by Erica Taylor. I have really enjoyed all of the books in this series so far. The author’s attention to detail is second to none, she really makes it so easy for me as a reader to imagine what I am reading – at times it is like I am watching a period drama. I really liked the storyline for this book, it was a little different to what I have read before – I thought the characters were great. I loved the chemistry between Sarah and William! It was really believable. Sarah was a really strong female lead – I love it when this genre of story has such a strong, independent female main character. After everything she went through she seemed to come out fighting! I admire that about her.
After Sarah and William’s first encounter, I have to admit that the rest of the way through the story I was rooting for them to find their way back to each other again. This book could be read as a standalone however I would absolutely recommend reading the first two books also as they are just as good as this one.
I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

L.D. Rose’s Black Bullet is a paranormal/romance story. The characters are genuine, and the scenery is so detail orientated. I enjoyed the simplicity of the story. This story was a fast read as well. There were some roller coaster rides throughout the story. I was at the seat of my recliner and yelling involved but I loved the story. This story is about Jonathan and Lawan. Both characters have some personal demons that they need to work out. What makes this work even more, they both find themselves and they build each other up and make everything all right.

Luke was an amazing read! When I first read the blurb I will admit I wasn’t quite sure but the author really has written a brilliant story. There was a lot going on in the story which meant that I couldn’t wait to turn the pages to see what was going to happen.
I adore Luke! I actually wanted to be able to give him the biggest hug! I can’t imagine everything that he had been through and I could feel the guilt that he felt also. I loved reading about the connection between him and Emily – there was just something there between them that felt so genuine and sincere. I think they had something that would tie them together forever; they understood each other and everything that they had been through. I desperately wanted them both to find their happily ever after. It’s been a while since two characters have found their way into my heart like these two have done.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was very impressed with her writing, it was engaging and captivating. The plot was good and the pace and flow of the story brilliant. I highly recommend this 5 star book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Eight Steps was a fun and entertaining read that I really enjoyed. I have read a couple of books by this author now and I always find her writing really easy to read and my attention is always held from beginning to end.
I thought that Elliot was a great character, a really nice person and I liked him even if he was a ‘nerd’! I really enjoyed watching as he tried to transform himself into an alpha all to catch the eye of a girl he likes! I wasn’t sure I was going to like Fe, I wondered if she was going to be pushy but I actually kind of liked her – there was some chemistry between the two and they had good banter between them.
Maybe the story was a little predictable but I still found it very entertaining, funny, heart-warming and all round good read. I would definitely recommend Eight Steps as a great 4 star read!

Honestly, this book is amazing! This is part two in the 21st Century Courtesan Series and it is hands down better than the first book. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. This series is original, sexy and addictive. I’m anxiously waiting for the next installment.

The story continues as Evie takes on her next client. Jake is a big time movie star with a secret as big as he is. He’s lost his way and is shutting down. It’s up to Evie to get him back on track. As much as I loved Dylan in the first book, I fell head over heels for Jake. He’s there for her as well and helps her in her time of need. There are many revelations for Evie in this book that knocks her off kilter. Someone from her past keeps popping up and throwing a wrench in her plans and her psycho “fan” has stepped it up a notch.

So much happens in this book that I was blown away. Pamela DuMond has written an exceptional story filled with suspense, angst and of course steamy moments. I highly recommend this book!

Riveting reading ensure you stayed glued to the pages, your whole body taut with nervousness and uncertainty. The mystery surrounding this story is large and illusive and just begging to be solved. A dramatic and intense suspense that will render you speechless and hungry for more. 4 stars.

When teenager Nick Buckingham tumbles from the fifth floor of an apartment block, Detective Sergeant Solomon Gray answers the call with a sick feeling in his stomach. The victim was just a kid, sixteen years old. And the exact age the detective’s son was, the son Gray has not seen since he went missing at a funfair ten years ago. Each case involving children haunts Gray with the reminder that his son may still be out there – or worse, dead. The seemingly open and shut case of suicide twists into a darker discovery. Buckingham and Gray have never met, so why is Gray’s number on the dead teenager’s mobile phone?

Gray begins to unravel a murky world of abuse, lies, and corruption. And when the body of Reverend David Hill is found shot to death in the vestry of Gray’s old church, Gray wonders how far the depravity stretches and who might be next. Nothing seems connected, and yet there is one common thread: Detective Sergeant Solomon Gray, himself. As the bodies pile up, Gray must face his own demons and his son’s abduction.

Crippled by loss Gray takes the first step on the long road of redemption. But is the killer closer to home than he realised?

Set in the once grand town of Margate in the south of England, the now broken and depressed seaside resort becomes its own character in this dark police suspense thriller, perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride, and Peter James.

Movie Star by Pamela DuMond is book two in the 21st Century Courtesan Series. After reading book one, Player, and falling in love with Evie, I had to see what book 2 would be like. Let me tell you Movie Star does not disappoint. Evie is with her next client Jake and it’s a whole new adventure. This story has a mixture going on with it but it keeps you hooked and wanting more the entire time. Easton Wolfe makes another appearance and throws Evie off. Her admirer comes and goes as he pleases and creeps her out. But what will happen with Evie and Jake is the big question, can she heal him or will every thing else get in the way and impact her ability.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Movie Star was a great 5 star read and book two in the 21st Century Courtesan series.

Evie is empathic, men hire her to help them heal. She is heading to LA to help Jake Keller, a very hot troubled movie star. The night before she leaves she discovers her house has been broken into. And she has gotten another letter. Has her stalker returned?

Healing broken men is filthy, grueling work, which is why it’s ironic that on the outside I look immaculate.

Jake has some secrets that someone wants to keep buried. Will Evie be able to help Jake or will his secret stay buried?

As they spend time together Evie and Jake get close, and lets just say they had some very steamy scenes. There is also an unexpected twist, someone that Evie hadn’t seen in a couple of years shows up.

Be prepared for so much more in this story. I love Evie, she had me lol at times with things she would say or think. The secondary characters were great. Once I started I couldn’t put it down, I finished it pretty quickly. Pamela DuMond will have your head spinning with the things going on. I suggest reading book one first. I look forward to reading more in this series.

The Perfect Duchess was a good 4 star read.
This is Andrew and Clara’s story.

We start out at Andrew’s birthday party where he sees Lady Clara, she has been the only one that has gotten his attention in the past few years. When he searches her out for a dance he finds her being insulted by one of his guests, so he quickly rescues her.

Lady Clara knew she was taking a chance by going to the party. People believe she was involved in her sister leaving Andrew at the altar. The insults that she took were terrible, but she held her own and gave it right back.

If they think they can chase me away, they are severely mistaken -Lady Clara

When Andrew starts to court Lady Clara, things get even more interesting. When Clara finds out that she is in danger from her own brother, Andrew offers her a solution. Will she take it?

All of the secondary characters were great. There are some twists and turns and secrets revealed. We do get a HEA but it was definitely not an easy journey. If you’re looking for a good historical read you will like this one. Erica Taylor does a great job of pulling you in with her writing.

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters #2) by Erica Taylor was an engaging, hooking historical fiction that keeps you flipping the pages.

Not my first read by this author, but in truth, the first book of this series actually takes place before this one. So in saying that, I highly suggest reading this book first, then go back and read book one. If I myself knew that these books were written out of chronological order, I would have done that; because the first book is full of spoilers for book one. So though I still enjoyed this story, I felt I knew it well before reading it.

Outside of this book taking place before the first, I very much adored this read. That opening scene was, for me, what dreams are made of. There’s just something about two people locking eyes across a crowded room that just makes me all mushy on the inside. From that moment I was hooked not only on this book, but this future couple. This book doesn’t just focus on the romance, there’s a spotlight on Andrew’s close relationship with his siblings, and the hunting dark tone around Clara’s brother and his disdain for her.

Told in dule POV we get inside both their heads, and that adds a little something extra, rounding out an already endearing story. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will fall hard for this unconventional romance, set in a time when social standards were everything. Things have to be handled with care, and the Duke has to be a bit cunning to get what he wants.

Happy Reading

Black BulletBlack Bullet by L.D. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Black Bullet by L.D. Rose is the second book in The Order of the Senary series. This book focuses on Jonathan Kerr. He is now a vampire but was a Marine and FBI agent in his former life. Lawan Knight is a hybrid and she has come to trust no one. The two end up working together and learning to trust one another. This book has supernatural, suspense, action, and romance all in one. The story and writing are well done. The pace of the story kept me reading and not wanting to put it down. I enjoyed the characters and story and look forward to more from this series. It reminded me of some current action films but had a better story and characters. I have enjoyed this book and will be reading more from L.D. Rose.

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters Book 2) by Erica Taylor – Review by Erica Fish

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters, #2)The Perfect Duchess by Erica Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Perfect Duchess is the second book in the Macalisters series by Erica Taylor. With having read the first book in the series, I was excited to read this installment. Ms. Taylor has a great ability to intertwine stories but keep them separate in the same breath. This story is about Andrew and Claire and we learned about them in A Suitable Affair. I was excited because I really like the love story between Andrew and Claire. This story has romance, danger, drama, and suspense. The emotions in this book go up and down, twists and turns, happy and sad all in book. I was taken back several times and I had to go and read the section again because I wanted to know why I thought it was supposed to be in my mind’s eye and not the author’s eye.

Crime Lord’s Captive (Crime Lord Series Book 1) by Mia Knight – Review by Erica Fish

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

Crime Lord’s Captive by Mia Knight is the first book in her series Crime Lord Series. This story was an interesting dark undertones story. I was comfortable reading the story, but I could see where it could have made me wiggle a little bit. The characters are fully developed and could feel them as friends. I would set enough time to be able to read this book in one sitting. You will not be sorry. This is the story of Layla and Gavin. Layla left her life in the past in Las Vegas and really wanted to start anew. Gavin is the man that Layla wanted to leave in her past, but he came looking for her. This is the story of how love can be dark if one is not able to speak up. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Shattered Love (Forever Us Series, #1) by Nivia Borell – Review by Susan Mowdy

Shattered LoveShattered Love by Nivia Borell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book 100% lives up to its title of Shattered Love. This is no easy, light hearted read but it’s raw and it’ll put your heart through the wringer.

Bria and Damien were childhood sweethearts. They thought they had their lives mapped out and it always included them being together. On Bria’s 18th birthday all of that shattered. Damien found her in bed with another man and she has no memory of it. No as adults, they are not whole. They are barely going through life. Can they make a mend or at least get closure to move on?

This book was written in several perspectives which I believe helped keep the story well balanced. I’m looking forward for more stories from Nivia Borell
