RETURN (Rewind Book 2)
by Rowan Shaw

This is the second book in this series but it can be read as a standalone but I would suggest reading the first one because it’s awesome and also because it’s where we first met Raphael. I am so glad that this book is just as good as the first. There is a lot of raw emotion in this story. I was completely drawn into the story needing to know where the relationship was going to go between Adrian and Raphael, and I also really felt connected as I found out more about each character. I couldn’t help but want everything to work out for each of them whether they end up together or not. The chemistry and attraction between these two was evident from the beginning. There are some intimate romantic scenes in this story and I found that they were done tastefully without losing any of the heat that comes with these scenes. I loved reading this story I highly recommend it and I cannot wait to read the next one.

4 Stars

This is not my first book by this author and will definitely not be my last. Although this wasn’t my favorite of those I’ve read it was still written in the way I have come to enjoy by this author.

I’m not usually drawn to the sports genre and then throw in cricket and I was totally lost on that part so just concentrated on the characters. I really enjoyed reading about Mathew and Rose and there were some parts that seemed kind of predictable and then there were parts that broke my heart.

I will definitely be looking for more from this author and do highly recommend this book especially to those that like the sports kind of atmosphere. Its a quick read and flows smoothly.

The Brass Compass: A Novel by Ellen Butler

5 Stars

This is not my first read by this author, she is actually a favorite of mine even though I went back and forth on this one before I decided to give it a shot. I am not normally drawn to these type of stories but I am drawn to this author.

I did enjoy it although it still did not sell me on the genre itself, there’s no way to deny how well it was all written. This book was full of suspense and danger and constant action. Following Lily in this book had me feeling like I was fleeing with her and I was on the edge of my seat through most of it.

It had just enough romance mixed in and I highly recommend anyone that reads historical fiction especially around the WW2 time period go one click this book right now.

This author is a master storyteller and I can not wait to get my hands on anything else she writes.

Wayward (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 1) by Via Mari – Review by Karyn Taylor

Wayward (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 1)Wayward by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wayward is the first book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series by Via Mari. This series is a spin off from 2 previous series: The Prestian Series and The Torzial Affair. In this series we see into the lives and loves of the bodyguards whose job it is to guard the billionaires from the other 2 series.
Wayward centres around Jay who is the head of the security team and Sasha Koslov, a Russian ballerina who was previously involved with one of Jay’s bosses. Jay has been captivated by the beautiful, graceful ballerina from the first instance he saw her. Now it emerges that she is related to the mafia and her life is in danger, Jay will do anything to keep her safe.
This book will have you sucked right into the heart of the story from the very first page and will not let you go. It will drag you through a roller coaster of emotions and you won’t want to put it down. The characters are very well written and have so much depth to them, you really feel that you get to know them.
I really loved this book. I had not read any of this author’s work before but now I really want to read the Prestian Series and The Torzial Affair as I’m intrigued as to what has gone on with these characters previously.

Girl Trap (A Madeline Dawkins Mystery Book 3) by Cynthia Hamilton – Review by Shannon Fowler

Girl TrapGirl Trap by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Madeline Dawkins adventures….are never dull! And Girl Trap…wow! Probably my favorite so far. Some serious subjects covered in this story. Book three is a must read! But only after reading books 1 and 2!

Hamilton dives into a touchy subject, one that the real world is unbelievably discovering as well. Several girls have gone missing. Not all of the cases are the same, however there is more to it than meets the eye. Madeline and Mike have to use their MDPI skills during this story. They will have to go at it alone, as well, since this time there are so many situations arising and in different cities. Hamilton again has given us a story like no other. The adventure that Mike and Maddie take to solve their mysteries keeps you turning the pages.

I can recommend this story to the readers that like a little mystery mixed with a little action to keep you on your toes.

Too Hot to Handle (The Catch #3) by Avery Scott

5 out of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read by this author Too Hot To Handle is the third book in the Catch series written by Ms. Scott. I simply fell in love with this couple Tony and Georgia. They were an awesome couple. The Main characters are well written and simply great. I loved there quirks. The story line was great and different.

Georgia “Gigi” Sinclair has it all in the spot light. Just look at her social media feed. It’s full of designer clothes, first class travel and snapshots of her TV-star fiancé. But behind the scenes, things are a bit more complicated.

Tony is a hot firefighter all his friends are getting tied down and he’s still the resident playboy, so his inner monologue is entertaining but when he meets Georgia the sparks fly and Tony wants to play with fir when it comes to Georgia.
These two come from different worlds can they make it? Can Tony help Georgia? Will they have a happily ever after.
You need to read this great book…

The Embers We Seek (A Rebel Princess Serial, #1) by Acacia K. Parker

5 out of 5 stars

The Embers We Seek is book one in A Rebel Princess Serial, written by Acacia K. Parker was a gripping read that had me hooked from start to finish. This is the first book that I have read by this author. Wow I really enjoyed this short story and can’t wait until I get to read the next part in this series. The main character is well written with a strong sense of duty. The story line was unique and different.

There were some parts in this short story that reminded me of Game of Thorns but instead of Dragons we had Hell hounds. (And I loved Game of Thrones). LOL

Wren is a captain and is sworn to protect the soldiers she leads into battle, which includes preventing a potential massacre in an upcoming campaign that could mean the end of the war in hero’s. But defying orders from her Lord could mean a noose around her neck. That if she gets caught.

I don’t want to go into too much and give the storyline away but this is a must read…. I highly enjoyed it.

A Protector’s Touch by Parker Sinclair

5 Stars

OH MY HEART!!

This book tore at my heart and completely stressed me out because I wanted to climb through my kindle screen so many times. This made me realize that although you hear of this throughout your life you never really understand it maybe because you don’t want to or literally just don’t believe it can really happen.

This author who I already love took something so real and wrote it in such a beautiful way that yes there might be triggers but it was handled with such care.

Although this story tore my heart out and totally ticked me off at times I loved it and it was such a quick read. The character building was spot on and I fell hard for Shan..I mean who wouldn’t? But what I loved most was April and even though someone tried so hard to break her down, her strength brought her out on the other side and her story was inspirational and I loved it!

Yes, there are some soft triggers but I think if its gone into being fully aware of this it would be ok.

Loved it!!

Bowled: Facing the Yorker of Love (To Love a Sportsman Book 1) by Pamela Q. Fernandes. This is a new to me author. I really enjoyed this book, who doesn’t love sports and a sexy guy. Throw in a quirky, funny woman and you have one good book. This book is about Mathew and Rose. He is a cricket player and she is a teacher. What started at a joke tweet, turned into jokingly flirting, turns into Rose traveling to stay with him for a “visit”. They are both coming off of emotional and difficult times. I enjoyed this book and can not wait to see what else is in story.

The Brass CompassThe Brass Compass by Ellen Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

I really enjoyed this book, I like historical reads but not usually in this time period however I thought it was a really good read. The author’s writing was very detailed, sometimes this did make affect the pace of the story but I did appreciate the level of detail that she included. I liked how she took a real life time period but made it into a fiction story! The characters were well thought out and had a realistic feel to them. Lily was a great female lead, strong and independent. There was some great action in the story and certainly some nail biting moments as I waited to see what was going to happen and how the story would unfold.
The Brass Compass was a fantastic read and one that I highly recommend! I will definitely be looking forward to reading more from Ms Butler again in the future!

Tallie

Women despise me and men want me in their bed, and I’m okay with both. I use my sexuality to get what I want, and I make no apologies for it. No one knows me, the real me. My hardened shell protects that ruined little girl buried deep inside, a girl I tried to leave back in Florida so many years ago. But then he walks into Pulse one evening and sees me, the real me, not Tals, the sex kitten but Tallie, the girl that ran away.

Raymond

Most of my life has been shrouded in mystery. The only thing my family knows is that I will always protect them even from myself. As the king of one of the largest criminal empires in the world, I can’t afford luxuries such as love or getting too close. So, I stay within these walls of protection away from my family, friends, and enemies. But now and then I get bored, and tonight I know just the place to entertain me.

When these two met, they left Ruin in their wake.

As a member of the Network, a secret society with nearly bottomless resources, Vincent has been able to determine that Miles’s abilities aren’t unique but an extremely rare genetic mutation.Cade returns to the states to be with his family, but it’s clear that life cannot go on as normal when Miles suffers from an intense illness that leaves him immobile and mute for days. Through Vincent’s Network contacts, Cade and Lecia are able to find adequate care for Miles at a facility that understands his condition.Aside from his unusual ability, Miles shows an affinity for several other skills, from writing as a result of his extensive vocabulary, to singing and dancing.
