The Monster’s Lover
By Samantha MacLeod
Rated 4 stars

This is a nice story. A little heavy on the sexy times. I felt the story was strong enough that a few of those could have been tapered down. I liked the theme going through the book. Family struggle, fairy tales and “what are we going to do now” scenes. I wish we could have seen a few chapters from Fenris’ point of view. He is kind of an enigma and remained that way. I thought he was interesting and wondered how he came to be and what happened to his family. I see there is a free story about him and his friend Tyr.
I felt sorry for the girl-Sol. When she ran Into problems on her trip to town. I was shocked and dismayed. I would have loved a bit more insight into Sol’s growing up and how she actually acted with the townspeople. The ending was…good. Closure with her family would have been good but maybe more of that will come in Book two of the series.

I liked the idea of this short story. There are many possibilities on where it can go from here. This is a first time author for me.

Infamy (Feisty Lawyers Book 2)
By: Seelie Kay
5 out of 5 stars

The story Infamy (Feisty Lawyers Book 2) by Seelie Kay is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It is thrilling, has plenty of mystery, and kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It is a fast-paced story that is full to twists and turns. When a warning is given regarding a plot against the United States Sheikh Harun Ali, his wife Marianne, along with their neighbors Cade Matthews and his wife Janet MacLachlan are working the case. Will they be able to find a plane that has been buried in an unknown cornfield with the passengers still on board? Who are the ones who have hatched and carried out this plan? What is their endgame? Will they be caught? Read this story to find out. This book has action and danger. It had me turning pages. I enjoyed reading about the interactions/bantering that occurs between many of the characters as it shows how tight-knit of a group they are. There is humorous and flirty talking that also goes on. The story is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with the characters trying to find those who are responsible. This book hooked me in from the very beginning and didn’t let go until I had read the final page. The story also had me thinking about it even after I had finished. Could something like this happen in real life? This is the second book in a series and I loved it just as much as the first one. I would highly recommend reading it.

Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1)Shattered by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered is book one in the Torzial Affair by Via Mari. It feels like a lifetime since I have read a story by this author. It was well and truly worth the wait. It is like coming home to your favourite pair of slippers, warm, inviting, providing a comfort like no other. The story is not all warm and lighthearted. It is intense, dangerous, passionate and exciting.

Jenny has not had an easy run in life, lately. Meeting Brian was the right thing, just at the wrong time. She bares emotional scars that prevent her from truly letting go, which causes a hold to be put on her life and the happiness that goes with meeting your soulmate. Brian is being patient with her, which goes against everything that makes him the stubborn, dominant and beautiful male specimen that he is. They clash, and those battles are quite the spectacle. Brilliant minds going head to head is explosive. They certainly deliver non stop entertainment, passion and attitude. Entertainment overflowing with drama, danger and  decadence. Shattered was an edge of your seat story, that excited and delighted. All brilliantly set out by a gifted and dedicated author. 5 stars.

Less You Know: A Gripping Psychological Suspense Thriller (Ashes to Ashes, #2) by Rowena Holloway – Review by Melissa Agena

Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes #2)Less You Know by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All I can say is, “WOW!” Less You Know is the second book in the Ashes to Ashes series by Roweena Holloway. Now I will also say that you really need to read the first book before reading this one. There is a lot of information that book that will give you a foundation for this book. Charlotte Ashe wants to expose Tyrone Garner. That is until Charlotte’s best friend Allie goes missing. Now there are all kinds of questions that arise. Charlotte is definitely on a mission to find her friend and uncover the real truths behind Tyrone Garner. Just like the first book, there are so many twists and turns that you will run into, which make this story riveting! I seriously could not put this book down! Charlotte’s character has really changed in the sense that she’s much more sure of herself and has serious guts! She has grown since her first appearance in the first book. I really love this series! This author is amazing at her descriptions and she definitely has a way of pulling you in and keeping you interested the whole way through. Truly captivating writing! There is also a cliffhanger that has you sitting on the edge of your seat wanting more and more! I cannot wait for the next book in the series! I hope it is just as good and the last two book have been.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Penny For Your Thoughts by JD Boudreaux is book one in the Sand Dollar Series. This is a slower paced story focused on Penny and Alex. The storyline is smooth and flows from one point to the next flawlessly. I’m not quite sure about my feeling with this story, there were some real life struggles in it that I’m sure many can relate to. Penny and Alex each have their own issues and goals with life but can their love survive it?

This book captured my attention from the beginning and kept me engaged throughout. As soon as I started this story the action started and then came the twists and turns and kept me guessing. This book can be read as a standalone but it’s my recommendation that you read the first book in this series. The author does an awesome job taking me on a thrilling ride as she weaves a very detailed and vivid story so much so that you feel like you are right there experiencing all the danger and suspenseful moments. There are wonderful characters in this series, some you will love and some you will hate. This is truly a great read. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Less You Know is the second book in the Ashes to Ashes by Rowena Holloway. This gripping psychological suspense was another thrilling page-turning read. The author has this method to keep the reader engaged in the story with the perfectly tuned details. I enjoyed the character growth seen in Charlotte from the previous book in the series. The additional characters shared in this second novel, such as Allie, were wonderful. I thoroughly loved the suspense, the mystery in this story. It was filled to the brim begging me to continue to see where the author was leading me and the characters. I typically am not one to read these type of stories, but Rowena Holloway has woven a compelling story within the series that is a must read for any suspense lover.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beneath the Surface, the third book in the Gray Ghost series, by Amy McKinley is a thrilling military romance suspense. Continuing within the theme of the Gray Ghost novels, this story features Hannah and Jack. This story was complex with layers and layers of mystery, deceit and lies just boiling to break free. Amy McKinley is truly creative in her story line creation along with the sequences that unfolded within. I quickly fell within the pages of the story and pushed through chapter after chapter to see where the author was next taking the characters. These were strong and driven characters in the story, each one standing apart from the next. I couldn’t get enough of Hannah’s drive against Jack’s stance on protecting what he felt needed to be done. Captivating and another great novel by Amy McKinley!!

4 out of 5 Stars

This book is a continuation of a series. This is not a stand alone, and as a reader, I strongly advocate to read books in series order. This book is a whirlwind of emotion. Kyle and Juniper have been on a long journey. A long, hard journey. There are times when these two are like oil and water. Never will the two mix. The seem to clash more oven than they get along. Juniper has lost her faith and trust in Kyle. She has given her heart to him and because of this she is falling to pieces.

Kyle is a lost, broken soul. He feels that Juniper will never see anything good in him again but is he willing to try to change her mind?

This story is of love, forgiveness and heartbreak. This book is an amazing finish to this series. I read this from start to finish with no stop. I loved every minute of it and it left be breathless.

The Monsters Lover by Samantha MacLeod is a fantastical and gripping story that will keep you hooked all the way through. I knew from the moment I read the blurb that I would enjoy the book.
It was an interesting story that had me intrigued from the start. I couldn’t wait to find out what would happen – would Sol find a way out for herself, who was the stranger she can across?
This was a new author to me and I was blown away but her writing style. The pace was great and the characters were so interesting and diverse. I loved how easily it was to become a part of their journey. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read more by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A tendency dark and dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers is a novel written in verse. I have never read a novel written in verse before nor have a read a book by this author before. I thought the book was well written. It really wasn’t my cup of tea if you know what I’m saying but, the author did a good job describing the scenes and the feelings.

Addictions come in all shapes and forms. One could be addicted to gambling, drugs, alcohol or even a person. In this book, Evangeline finds an addiction in this book that is hard to break. She seemed to have it all. A great job, a sweet, caring boyfriend and awesome friends. Is she willing to lose it all for her addiction?

Landon Kelly is a dark and mysterious person she meets at an art gallery. Her life changes when she meets him. She is living a double life but soon that will change. Will it be a happy ending or will she lose everything?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

MOVIE STAR by Pamela DuMond is the second book in the 21st Century Courtesan series. The story is well written and drew me in from the beginning. I recommend reading the first book in the series before reading this book. The story is about a courtesan who is paid by high end clientele to help them because they are broken in some form. This is a roller coaster of emotions and had me hoping that Jake Keller could be helped. I really enjoyed the build up and how the story concluded. I am looking forward for more in this series to see where the story will go. The secondary characters are also good and do not feel like a way to side track from the story. Everything fits together well.

I’m not entirely sure where to start with this review; it certainly evoked a whole host of emotions from me whilst reading it. It did take me a little time to get to use to the way in which the author had written it but it actually fitted the storyline quite well. I’m not sure I really got to know the characters all that well however I did really like them. I actually really felt for Evangeline, I think I could tell that she was desperately unhappy with her life but seemed like she wanted to please people until she had the opportunity to please herself for once. I did have this thing for Landon at the beginning of the story – however that didn’t really last all that long! I have to admit the author did an amazing job with the twists in the story because it absolutely did not go the way I had predicted at the start!
I was a little gutted when the story finished so I am hoping there will be more to come from this author! Her writing style was intriguing and engaging! I can’t wait to read more from her in the future.

Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes #2)Less You Know by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Less You Know is the second book in the Ashes to Ashes series. It is left open for the story to continue. I recommend reading the first book to get a solid background on the characters and the events that led up to the second book.

Less You Know is all over the place, and not in a bad way. The author has written the story in such a way that it keeps you guessing. Characters coming at you from all sides and misdirection (or is it?) keeps you hooked.

If you read the first book you will understand why I say this: at one point while reading Less You Know, I wanted to smack Charlotte and ask her what she was thinking. I mean, seriously. Oi vey! But that is part of the entertainment, watching the characters do both expected and unexpected things. After the developments in this book, I find myself liking Garner a little bit more. And Piers…what an (insert a colorful expletive here). Of course, with the way these stories are written, who knows how things will play out. I might end up changing my mind about any or all of the characters.

Intense. Suspense. Drama. Unanswered questions. Must have answers! Looking forward to the next book. (There better be a next book, lol)!

The Perfect Duchess is the second book that I have read by this author and again it was enjoyable historical romance read. The author provides a richly detailed story that enabled me to imagine what I was reading, something that I love in particular with historical romance stories. The flow and pace of the story was good and I thought that author’s writing again was great. The story was easy to read and my interest was kept throughout.
I really liked the main characters, Clara and Andrew. For the time period I liked that Clara was independent and feisty – she was happy to take matters in her own hands at time. I really admired her tenacity at times!
Andrew was a little bit hard to read at times but I liked that I had to work hard to get to know him and understand him better. I could feel that there was this connection between the two of them despite what had happened in their past. I, personally, thought that they made a lovely couple and was rotting for them the whole way through.
Another enjoyable read from this author and I can’t wait to read more from her again!

Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes #2)Less You Know by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

LESS YOU KNOW is book 2 in the “Ashes to Ashes” Series and I’m not really sure it should be read as a stand-alone. There are a lot of references to book 1 AND if you aren’t used to the writing style AND lost on plot points, I think it would be a less enjoyable reading experience for you – and let’s face it… the point of reading is to have the best experience possible.

This is a multi-layered story with different threads that run throughout. It’s a mystery/suspense with twists and turns along the way. It’s one of those stories that I thought I had a handle on and then *poof* oh wait, there is something I missed. The story is fluid and, like with book 1, the timeline is well defined and told from multiple POV. Several times, I had to look back at the chapter headings to figure out what time it was and whose POV I was reading.

I’ve enjoyed watching the MC grow and find her voice and I would recommend this series (read in order, of course).

Sitting here wondering what in the world I just read…… Not even sure where to start with this review.

I have never read a book that was in the free-verse format and when I read the synopsis and it stated this it had me totally curious…Can I just say Holy Mackerel I loved this…I read it in a little over an hour, that was with a break and just focussing on the style I was completely impressed. It read so easy and so smooth and there were no little details that didn’t need to be there, I loved how it moved and I hope to read many more books like this.

Now onto the story itself…Ummmm ok, that didn’t go anywhere near like I thought it would, my jaw was on the floor and i sat just staring trying to wrap my head around it. I wanted to scream at Evangeline and I wanted to completely beat another character and shake another one and then I was laughing at others, this just had me a complete hot mess, but I wanted more when I finished. This was an awesome story and had me guessing till the very end.

Don’t let the free-verse turn you away from this book, it worked in every way it was supposed to in my opinion and I have already looked to see if this author has anything else available and I don’t see anything, so I’ll keep watching and hoping that she writes more because this was completely and sincerely Amazing!

A Tendency Dark and DangerousA Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers is a dark romance with a twist. This story is told in free verse. I’ve never read a book that was written in free verse so it took a little bit to get used to it but once I did, I couldn’t put it down.

Evangeline has everything she could want, which is hard to believe after enduring her childhood but as far as appearances go, she has the perfect life. Good friends, great boyfriend, and a job that may land her a promotion, what more could she want. When she least expects it, she meets Landon Kelly and there is something about him that draws her in. Landon is persistent, dark and commanding. Surely, it’s only a matter of time before Evangeline gives in. The question is, what will happen when she does? Perfect isn’t so perfect anymore and as the reader, we are there to witness it all.

This book is so emotional, I felt all over the place. I can only imagine how Evangeline felt. This story is not a light read but it is so worth it. I highly suggest, even if you’ve never read a book in free verse, you give this book a chance!

Rated 5 stars

This is a story of Ed Petrosky before he became a detective. His life was normal and he was happy…yes happy. Hard to imagine if you have read the other Ash Park novels. Anyway we learn some about why he is the way he becomes. Straight to the point, hard and a giver of no-Sh**. I enjoyed reading the look into Ed previous life.

The writing is smooth and as usual I was drawn to the story. The characters are smart and unforgiving. I struggled to figure out this “who-dunnit” so that is always a happy surprise for me when reading her stories.
Even though it’s a Novella..the author doesn’t skimp on the mystery or suspense. This can be read as a stand alone. I have read all the Ash Park novels and still couldn’t figure out this one!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first time I have picked up a full length novel from Alicia Street on its own. I have only read stuff from her in an anthology before. I have enjoyed her writing in those settings so when I saw the eye catching cover and who it was by I went in blind not knowing what to expect. Now this is book three in a series, The Rocklyns, but I didn’t struggle to terribly reading it as a standalone. I would like to go back and read the other two though to get a better understanding of the supporting characters etc.

I adored our main characters though and they really were the shining stars of this novel. Raina and Roman, what is there to not love about these two. They are perfect for each other too. Ugh. Anyways… This is one contemporary romance that I just couldn’t get enough of, in fact that would be m only complaint! I felt this was so short! I could have had just a tad more, but it was fantastic nonetheless. Thanks for a fantastic read Ms. Street. Off to read books one and two of The Rocklyns!

Reading the Ash Park novels throughout 2018 was the favorite times of my dark twisted little thriller heart. Each and every one was a dirty little secret desire that I devoured and enjoyed way too much. In fact, all of Megan O’ Flynn’s novels do that to me actually. I can always count on her when I need a good twisty dark read.

Now with every book Of her Ash Park series I have left a glowing review saying how flabbergasted I was this woman could top the crazy and the great that was the book before it, but she delivered time and time again, and I was heartbroken when I thought it may have come to an end for the Ash Park stories. So to say I was excited when I saw Salvation pop up on my feed would simply be an understatement. I devoured this packed full 161 page novella in just a few short hours and was left dying for a reread of the the series again! LOL! If you haven’t gone and read them yet, do so, you won’t be disappointed!!

Salvation gives us the up close and personal, the nitty gritty, on Detective Edward Petrosky. He was always a favorite of mine throughout the series but seemed to leave a lot of unanswered questions about why he was the way he was… Well no more questions yall. O’Flynn gives and gives and twists the knife ever so perfectly. Of course I am not going to give to juicy gory details, for those you will have to one-click and devour this gem for yourself. You will fall in love I am sure and find yourself hooked! Thank you for this fantastic series Ms. O’Flynn! I can’t wait to see what will come next from you!!

5 out of 5 stars

The story Vortex by Kimberly Packard is a wonderful book that I enjoyed reading. The story is both emotional and takes you on a high-speed ride with storm chasers. It at times had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I loved reading about the character of Elaina Adams. She is strong, independent, and has a determination to get her doctorate. A memory has been awakened when she has a close encounter in a storm. She now finds herself looking for answers while putting herself in danger with each new storm she chases. Will Elaina find the answers that she seeks? There are also two other characters that play a part in this story. One of them is Seth Maddux. He is a man who is trying to get his career back on track. He also finds himself very attracted to Elaina. Robert Tucker or “Tuck” is a man that runs a storm chasing business. Because of betrayal, Elaina is forced to pair up with him. Tuck is a man that seems to be more out for himself, so I wondered what his motives were. This story has emotional and intense dialogue. It has times that are sad and heartbreaking. There are other times when the fast pace and danger that comes with chasing storms is felt. My emotions went up and down with the characters. Elaina is a character that I grew to care for with each chapter that I read. Don’t miss out on a story that will pull you in and won’t let go until the end. I would highly recommend reading it.

The story MOVIE STAR (21st Century Courtesan Book 2) by Pamela DuMond is a new adult/romance book. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the end. It is a book that has steamy/seductive scenes. There are also moments when I wondered what was going to happen next. The story kept me turning pages. One of the main characters is a 21st-century Courtesan. She is a woman who is beautiful, strong, and independent. She is someone who helps others. She is a character whose life is intriguing and complicated. Her current assignment is Jake Keller, a movie start that could be called broken. Will she be able to find out the truth behind why Jake has shut down? Read this story to find out. This book had my emotions going up and down the entire time I read it. I found Jake to be a character that could be described as kind, good-hearted, with a heavy burden. He is a character that I grew to care about and wished for him to be happy. There are additional characters that are included some of which I enjoyed reading about and others I had to wonder as to their agenda and motives. There is emotional and intense dialogue. The story flows smoothly and I found it a joy to read. This is the second book in a series and I loved it just as much as the first one. I am looking forward to reading the next story.

Ok so Beneath the Surface is the third book in the Gray Ghost series by Amy McKinley. I have had the pleasure of reading all the books so far. I honestly have to say I have yet to be disappointed. While the books can be read as a standalone, there is no reason why you shouldn’t start at the beginning. If you start reading this series, you are not going to want to stop until you have finished. As with the other books in this series we still have the action and romance. There is no way I could pick a favourite out of this series as all three books are as good as each other. Amy has given us an awesome series, I just love her storyline plots and the way she writes the characters. So here are the books so far in this series Book one Broken Circle, book two Eye of the Storm, book three Beneath the Surface and let’s not forget Moments that Define Us (Prequel Book 0). So, either just read Beneath the Surface or do yourself a favour and read all the books.

Amy McKinley has produced another tantalising tale of love filled with danger, decadence and delight. The characters were bewitching, and they intertwine effortlessly with previous characters. Always easy to get list in, and never easy to put down. Beneath the Surface is a five star read that is best enjoyed after reading the first two books in the series. The only bad thing is when you reach the end and there are no more words, which then commences the nail biting intense wait for the next instalment.
