Steele Resolve (Hawke Family #6)Steele Resolve by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can’t believe this is it for the Hawke family saga! I am pretty sure that I cried simply from that very fact being realized when I completed the last few pages of this hot and delectable read. With that said this is part of a series obviously and really it could be read as a standalone, but I assure you will get spoilers to previous novels and a lessened enjoyment by doing so. This series has become a major favorite, probably one of my top three, and I couldn’t imagine not enjoying it all together. The Hawkes have become like a family that I know and so real! The way that Gwyn McNamee writes these characters truly spins them into your life.

Steele Resolve gives us the story of Luca and Byron. I loved these two! The chemistry between them is absolute fire hot enough to melt ‘steel’. Nothing they go through of course can be easy, making for delicious reading material and wonderful storylines that will keep you glued to your kindle until you finish the novella in one fell swoop. Don’t be concerned though that this is just a novella and that it will be shorting you on anything that you would get with a full length novel. Steele Resolve gives you the whole story and doesn’t skimp on any of the goods. While I am sad to see this family saga come to a close, I am super excited to see what other characters dwell in the mind of Gwyn McNamee and I Iook forward to each of their stories.

Hidden Magic: A Sanctuary Chronicles NovellaHidden Magic: A Sanctuary Chronicles Novella by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love the pace of this book. You get immediate tension and the feeling something is wrong from Brant. He feels that deep down in your gut, imminent doom type of wrong and of course it’s somehow involving the love of his life, Kat. She’s just making cookies, not bothering anyone and WHAM- two total creeps show up after the shop has closed (which really made me hate them on a personal level, having worked in retail for a significant period of time). Kat is a telepath who doesn’t need any special gifts to know that these scrubs from her past aren’t just going to say hi and bye. They are more of the mind to shoot Brant in the chest and leave with Kat. Too bad it takes more than that to kill a werelynx.
India Kells is so wonderful with her descriptions and after reading two other books from this series, I was excited to read this novella-but I wish it had been longer.
If you’re new to paranormal romance or India Kells, this would be a decent place to start since it’s only a novella but it’s not the first in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Saint Code: Lost by Megan Mackie is the fourth book in the Lucky Devil Series. I recommend reading these in order but could be read as a standalone. This book is about St. Augustina. She is a cyber spy who will work for anyone who can pay her. This job takes her in all sorts of weird directions that eventually tie together. I really like the setting in a cyberpunk reality and the characters are really interesting. The whole of the story works well together and has me reading to find out where the story will go next. I like that the author uses elements which relate to our reality and incorporates them into this world we are put into. These elements help the reader get closer to the story and the characters. I look forward to reading more in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wayward (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 1) by Via Mari. Via Mari has become one of my favorite authors. I have loved every book I’ve read by her. This one is no exception. This is the story of Jay Head of Security for an Elite Security Team and Sasha, a Russian Ballerina who has ties to the Mafia. Jay is paid to protect 2 of the wealthiest men in the world. He has never felt like he needed to protect someone he’s not assigned to until he meets Sasha. Sasha is on a extended visa to America. She is beautiful, Strong, graceful and her performances are a sight to be held. Sasha has secrets and very bad ones at that. When Jay discovers Sasha’s secret and her being tied to the Mafia that is a danger to his clients will he continue to want to protect Sasha or will he protect his clients only. This book makes you feel like you know these people, like they are friends and you feel like you’ve visited the different places the book is set in. I love her writing and I love books that have characters from other stories continue in the next books! Read Wayward you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait for the next book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dread by Jeff Wade is a fantastic book that will have you utterly captivated right from page 1. This is the kind of book that will have your heart racing and have you feeling like you are right there next to the character.
I found it really intense reading this book because this author does such a good job at creating the image and the feelings the character must be going through. There were times when it honestly felt like I were the one there, trapped, trying to figure out how to escape. There were so many twist and turns as well that you always felt a little unsettled. You never knew what to expect which is part of what I liked about this book so much.
The writing style the author has adopted is perfect for this horror genre. This was a brilliant book. I just wish it could have been a bit longer – although the shortness of the story could be part of what added to the intensity!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Devil’s Due by Manda Mellett is the third book in the Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone although I would definitely recommend reading them all.
For me this book has to be the most emotional one so far. Right from the word go I was tied up with this character. I felt my heart break with his, I felt the pain he went through. It really was like I was experiencing the same thing the character was going through.
This whole story was designed to have you on the edge of your seat unable to put the book down. This really is a read it in one type book. I love this whole series but this book for me just outstrips the rest of them. Not an easy feat given how much I have enjoyed them all! I cannot recommend this book enough.

The Matchmaker’s Match (Man’s Best Friend Book 3)
By: Nicole Flockton
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Matchmaker’s Match (Man’s Best Friend Book 3) by Nicole Flockton is a contemporary/military romance book. It is a story that drew me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the last page. I found myself getting lost in the storyline and reading about the characters. I loved reading about Meredith Turner and Lincoln Forrest. Meredith is a woman whose past relationship didn’t work out. She now has new goals and is determined to achieve them. She is intelligent, strong, and independent. Lincoln is a man who believes that he just keeps making the wrong decisions in his life. The one that he doesn’t regret has to do with Meredith. When Meredith and Lincoln meet for the second time at a best friend’s wedding the attraction that they have for each other has not diminished. There are desire and chemistry between them. Is this their second chance? What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. The story has emotional dialogue and romantic moments that make the temperature in the room rise. It is a story that gives you the “feels” and you can’t help but wish to find love as deep as this couples. I grew to care about Meredith and Lincoln with each chapter that I read and wanted them to find happiness. There are other characters that are introduced that I enjoyed reading about and they are good friends with Meredith and Lincoln. Man’s best friend plays a part in this story and I love when an author incorporates animals into the storyline. This is the next amazing story in a series that have characters that come alive on the pages. Highly recommended.

Moves by John Michaels had me highly entertained from start to finish. It’s intense, incredibly detailed, twisted, unpredictable and thrilling. From the very beginning I was hooked, I was so intrigued by the storyline and I was caught up in all the detail. Throughout the story I found myself trying to piece everything all together, however, I was always wrong! I never seen the ending coming which made me enjoy it even more.

I feel amazed by John’s attention to detail; everything is clearly described making it easy to picture everything in my mind. I enjoyed everything about this story and would absolutely recommend it to others.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Rewind was a really interesting read. It had a really lovely storyline to it, I really liked the characters and I think the author explored something different with them also which I really enjoyed. It was nice to read about different characters and their lifestyles. I can’t say that I connected with any of the characters in particular but I certainly liked reading about them. I’m not usually a fan of m/m stories but Florian and Enzo were really nice, genuine characters to read about – I definitely felt for Florian during those first few chapters told from his POV. I really liked Enzo and it was great that the author did explore something different for his character it made him seem so much more real. I think he was my favourite character in the story, there was just something about him – I really admired the strength he had to overcome what happened to him.
As the author’s debut novel I was really impressed and I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

I do not know what to say but OMG is one thing that comes to mind. One thing I am learning is that there are more authors out there beside the big names. There are diamonds in the rough and I would encourage you to read the Silent Secrets series in order of books because you will fall in love with this author. Lisette Kristensen has outdone herself with Enemies of the Desert. THis heart pounding read will keep you on the edge of your seat begging for more. We meet Blackbird in the first story and I have enjoyed watching her grow. She has become a force to be reckoned with. Everything she has done things that prepare her for the battle with Salena (her evil enemy). She has sacrificed so much, even the her love, Adam. Will Blackbird be able to overcome Salena? Will Blackbird survive this attack? Will Lisette Kristensen write another story about Blackbird? This is a must read!!!

Saint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil SeriesSaint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil Series
By: Megan Mackie
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Saint Code: Lost (The Lucky Devil 4) by Megan Mackie was fast pace, thrilling and just, wow.

This wonder was another perfect addition to this ever growing multi level, story/magical world. Though it says book 4, it’s more like a prequel, as it does take place before the start of the main series. So in saying that, if you haven’t read the first two books with the main plot, and characters, then you will have no worries about spoilers from this one.

So, where do I start, this little wonder sure was a kicker, coming in at a short 140 pages, this fast read packs a powerful punch. The detail was on point, the tone and flow was smooths and gets this wonder moving, and our MC, St. Augustina was a joy to read about and get to know. I may have a girl crush on her. She’s powerful, takes no BS and just, an outstandingly well written character, you can’t go wrong with an MC like that. And if the MC didn’t keep you reading, then the compelling plot, drama and action will.

Overall this book is a spoil 5 star read, and it gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Smoke & Mirrors (Nite Fire #3)Smoke & Mirrors by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

SMOKE & MIRRORS is the third book in the “Nite Fire” series and I highly recommend reading them in order. I’m not sure they should be read as stand-alones because there is so much world building and character development in the first two.

I think this series just gets better and better. I am not sure if it is because; I’m familiar with the cadence of the story – if it is because these characters are no longer strangers – or if it is because the author just keeps getting better and better.

This series has things that go bump in the night including (but not limited to) ghosts, shape shifters, cops, banshees, unexplained crimes and so so much more.

I highly recommend this book, this series and this author.

Paul L. Arvidson is a new author for me and after experiencing Dark, I will be looking forward to reading more from him. This story was totally engaging, captivating and riveting from start till finish! It is an excellent take on the science fiction, and fantasy genre. It had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation, and wondering what would happen next. This author has created a well-written book, that’s fast-paced, action-packed and some excellent characters whose journey we follow throughout.
To me, this was a mentally visual read, that I could picture the whole story in my mind as I was reading it. I felt as though I was there alongside the characters living out there story, and I was utterly fascinated.
I can’t wait to see what else this author brings to this series, it will be exciting to see how far this author can take this story. I highly recommend this read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I hadn’t really read anything focusing on motorcycle clubs before I discovered Manda Mellett’s Satan’s Devils series, and now I’m hooked! Devil’s Due is the third book in the Colorado Chapter series.
I enjoy these books because they’re exciting, action-packed and hard to put down. I got so frustrated when I started reading Devil’s Due on the bus because I didn’t want to stop reading when I reached my destination! Another thing I’ve enjoyed in the past in Mellett’s books, which this book also contains, is the way she writes messy, human and beautiful relationships. It’s not all about young, beautiful people having perfect happily-ever-afters!
Something that really stood out for me in Devil’s Due was the inclusion of a main character who is blind. The character’s blindness is crucial to the plot in a number of ways and Mellett is always considerate of how the character might approach different tasks and what support she might need from the others (like not leaving their boots lying around on the floor!).
Since there’s a main Satan’s Devils MC series and the Colorado Chapter spin-off, there are multiple points at which you can jump into the series. Personally, I started at Paladin’s Hell which is the first book in the Colorado Chapter, but I want to go back and read some of the other stories to get the background of the characters I’ve encountered from the main Arizona chapter. You could also read this book as a standalone, if it particularly interests you.
For me, this is a five-star book. I was hooked, found it very enjoyable and also learnt a fair bit from it.

I enjoyed how this author is able to pull me into a story with characters that pops right off the pages. I enjoy how she adds dogs in her story. Meredith and Lincoln made the story seem real. Who knew a one night stand could come back around and fate would bring these two back together. Both their pasts have brought them to a crossroad, will they allow each other into their hearts? They have chemistry right from the start but is it enough to get their HEA? I highly recommend this book.

The story Scarlet Fever (A Johnny Delarosa Thriller Book 1) by David Stever is a thrilling mystery book that is amazing to read. It pulls you in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until I had finished the final page. I loved reading about the character of Johnny Delarosa. He is a private investigator who is a retired officer, intelligent, resourceful, and has a reputation of putting his clients first. He is determined to investigate and solve a case that is presented to him by Claire Dixon. Even though he seems to feel that there is something off, with the help of a bright young amateur sleuth, he is determined to push forward. This starts events that keep the PI guessing as to the truth and trying to stay one step ahead. How much danger are Johnny and his young amateur sleuth in? Will he find out the whole truth behind the case he is investigating? Read this book to find out. This story has times when I was turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. It is a story that kept me on the edge of my seat. There is an impressive cast of additional characters that come alive on the page just as Johnny does. I felt like I was right there with him and found myself lost in the book. The story does a wonderful job in making you feel like your reading an older detective series genre. It is a book that will keep you on your toes and guessing. Highly recommended.

This short novella consists of two short stories. The first story is quite confusing and I didn’t know what was going on. The story ends and everything makes sense. It is quite gruesome and macabre. When I got to the end, I realized I loved the story. It was really well written.

The second story I feel should have been a full book. You get a glimpse into the mind of a psycho. The author gives enough info to have you care about the characters but then ends the story. It left me with so many questions. I would have liked to know what happened after.

Girl Trap by Cynthia Hamilton is a novel belonging to the Madeline Dawkins Mystery series. This third in the series this book is every bit as interesting and fast paced as the previous two.
The author has created yet another story full of twists and turns. It is the type of book that keeps the pages turning. You just have to find out what is going to happen. And I know a lot of people aren’t a fan “unfinished” endings but I really enjoyed knowing there will be more to come from this series and these characters.
With each book I read the more attached I grow to Madeline. She makes a great one off character but an even better series character. You can really see her character development through the three books and I can’t wait to see what is next in store for her.

This book has got to be my absolute favourite one so far. I was drawn into the story and the characters immediately. I felt such a connection to Odette. I couldn’t honestly say what it is about her I like so much I just did.
The whole story was excellent as well. I thought it was unique and interesting. It easily kept my attention the whole way through – to be honest I could not put this book down. I read the whole thing in one sitting and wanted more when it ended. This whole series has been a fantastic read and this one just excels. I would definitely recommend you give this series a try as the author has done a brilliant job with it so far.

Dark by Paul L Arvidson is unlike any book I have ever read before. This science fiction meets fantasy was different and extremely fantastic. Pipes and drains make up the labyrinth called the Dark, all surrounding an area called the River. Dun, who wants answers to his horrible dreams and armed with a half-finished map given to him by his father, he sets off Tali and Padj. This takes Dun far away from the only home he’s ever know and into a world that he never thought that he would see.

I could NOT put this down and loved diving into the creation the author gave us. Dark, twists and turns, and a strong story line make this a read that I highly recommend. I give this book four stars and can not wait to see where this series leads!

Too Hot to Handle (The Catch, Book 3)Too Hot to Handle by Avery Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Too Hot To Handle is the 3rd book in The Catch Series by Avery Scott. Each book can be read as a stand-alone although many of the main characters do appear in each book. I had not read the first 2 books in the series before reading this and did not feel like I missed out on any necessary information. Although now I would like to go back and read the previous 2 books as I’m intrigued as to what the stories of these 2 couples are.
In this book our main characters are hot firefighter Tony (best friend of Derron from the previous book) and Georgia (Gigi) former fiancé of Chaz, who starred in TV reality show The Catch which this series of books is centred around. Georgia is trying to win Chaz back and Tony is helping her by playing the role of her boyfriend to make Chaz jealous.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters of Georgia and Tony, although Georgia did annoy me many times. The chemistry between them is hot and Tony will do anything to win Georgia over and make her realise that he is the right man for her and not Chaz. This despite the fact the Tony has always said he would never be committed to one woman. Is Georgia the one to make Tony change his mind?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Dark (The Dark Trilogy Book 1) by Paul L. Arvidson, 4 stars.

Dun is just a normal young adult living among his people, the bridge-folk. Well, maybe not that normal. He begins having these dreams that seem like more than dreams. Then the elders of his folk decide that he should set out on a journey to find more information about odd things happening lately. He, along with two friends, sets out on a journey leading them to many adventures and discover just how little they really know. But will they find answers or just more questions?

This is a young adult adventure fantasy book. Most of it revolves around the journey itself. The characters are quite interesting and easy to like. The story is very good and like nothing I have read before. The places they go, the decisions they have to make, all make the story more complex and interesting. There is a little bit of every emotion in this book — not to mention the twists and turns this book takes. You will never guess just what is coming next.

If you enjoy fantasy with wonderful world building and great characters, this book is for you.
