5 stars

I love this author! Seriously, I don’t feel like I’m reading, I’m immersed in every scene.
I enjoyed reading about Poppy and her new adventure moving to New York. Her first weekend in town she gets lost and, well you need to read for yourself as that was one of the best first meetings ever.
This had ups and downs and I didn’t expect what happened at all.
And I really loved the interweaving of another stories characters from Phoebe Alexander’s Rule Breaker.
Will be on the lookout for more from this author as its always amazing.

This is the second series I’ve read by Via Mari and she’s really outdone herself with this one! Bound had me drawn in from beginning to end with a great storyline and likeable, enjoyable characters. The twists, turns and intrigue this book had to offer kept the pages turning. I am really looking forward to seeing what more Via Mari has to offer!

Finding Ruth: A Daughter’s Quest to Discover Her Mother’s Past by Cynthia Hamilton

5-Stars

Finding Ruth: A Daughter’s Quest to Discover Her Mother’s Past by Cynthia Hamilton was a compelling and intriguing story. I loved following Ruth as her story progressed. I felt she was a very layered and complex character. She had excellent development as the story moved. I could not put this book down! I loved her character and the way the author chose to portray her story.

The author did an excellent job on the setting and visualization for this story as well. It had enough detail but not so much as to distract from the storyline. The storyline was easy to follow and transitioned smoothly from one chapter to the next. This is definitely a novel worth 5-stars and I highly recommend it.

Trouble in Mind (Interstellar Rescue, #2)Trouble in Mind
By: Donna S. Frelick
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Trouble in Mind: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 2 by Donna S. Frelick was an exciting, detailed original read, that had me hooked.

The second book in this series, we are taken on a new adventure, a new mystery, with new MC’s. In saying that, this book can be read as a standalone. Like the first, this book is told in multi POV, so lots more details and added impact. And I will tell you that, this book has more than impact, it’s gripping, compelling and engaging. There is so much going on outside of the main plot, that you forget you’re reading. The detail is top shelf, it pulls you in and makes the world/s, all the more realistic and picturesque. The MC’s interaction where fun, emotional and I quickly start to care for them.

Overall this book is worth your time and energy. It’s edgy, well written and addicting as hell, and if you haven’t guessed from that, this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading.

Beau and Bett is a YA twist on Beauty and the Beast by Kathryn Berla. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Berla, but definitely won’t be the last. This was such a wonderful change from what I usually read. I love the way Ms. Berla spun the characters and featured issues that are happening today. This book had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. This was a great end of the summer read. I look forward to reading more by Ms. Berla.

Undercover (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 2)Undercover by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Undercover is the second book in Via Mari’s Billionaire Bodyguards’ series where another member of the elite security team protecting the wealthiest men in the world gets his story! You can read these stories as standalones but I would recommend taking the series from the beginning as that helps you get deeper into that intriguing universe that the writer has created and where many of her series intersect! I have read EVERY SINGLE ONE of her stories and I welcome you into her universe!
Undercover gives us Matt’s story! He is the security for the wealthy AND Marenah is the granddaughter of the head of Russian Bratva (Mafia). Also, she is the twin sister to Sasha who was the lead of the first book in the series! I am sure you think it will be one boring story, right? You couldn’t be further from the reality! It is a great love story with loads of passion and heat and action! The writer gives us secrets and twists and turns and you will be craving for the next one when you get to the end. It is like an addiction, the good kind!

4 Stars!!!!

This is yet another book in this series I have read and I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed yet another trip into the world of the Fae and ancient Ireland and Scotland this time. The author has quite a unique world that she has created. I was just as enthralled with this book as I have been with the others in this series I have read.

The characters are refreshing and bring the story to life. I really like how the author entwines the two worlds together of the enchanting Fae and the magic and the real world , I really enjoyed the cultural pasts that the author uses in this book of Ireland and Scotland. I like how the story wasn’t predictable. Eamonn and Katie’s characters really drew me more into the book. I like how each were each other’s second chance. I really routed for Eamonn at the beginning as Katie was really off limits to begin with. I also like how Eamonn’s family history with the brooch and the Fae gets entwined into the story. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

I don’t know what else to say about all of these books and these series and this author that I haven’t already said. Each one I pick up I think, sooner or later I have to get tired of reading about these characters that weave in and out of all of these books. Well I just finished Undercover and it still hasn’t happened LOL I want more!! This author is seriously insanely talented and anyone that has not tried these books must one click them…I suggest starting way back at the start with The Prestian Series just because reading all of these has been such a ride that I’m not even close to being ready for it to end.

I love this part, this new bodyguards installment.. Getting inside the heads of this whole other part of these books is simply genius and I didnt know how much I wanted it till Via Mari delivered it.

There was so much I loved about this book, Marenah is Sasha’s twin sister and she is a beast, not really a beast but tough as nails and the heat factor between her and Matt who I absolutely love was off the charts. Not going in to the story line, it’s a fast moving edge of your seat type story that I read in one sitting.

Can not wait for more!!!

Legacy of Luck by Christy Nicholas is the third book in the Druids Brooch series. This is a great series that is full of detail and amazing characters. Although all the books interlink you can read them as stand-alones.
Yet again this author has created a story so vivid and captivating that you will find yourself drawn into the characters and their lives. It’s is so easy to imagine yourself right there with them all.
The combination of reality and folklore is written so well that you could easily believe it all. This really is a great series and one that everyone should try.

Simply Irresistible: A Totally Sweet Love StorySimply Irresistible: A Totally Sweet Love Story by Jennifer L. Allen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Simply Irresistible: A Totally Sweet Love Story was my first read by Jennifer L. Allen. It is a super sweet, slow burn, contemporary/friends to lovers romance- with humour, emotion, and fun.
Tyler works as an executive assistant for the editor of a men’s magazine. He really hates his job- and his boss is quite a dislikeable person. Tyler has dreams, his ambition is to use this experience to propel him to greater things. He is quite popular with the ladies, but so far has been unlucky in love. He notices a beautiful woman at work, drawn to her gorgeous green eyes- and had been keeping a look out for her ever since. He decides he will need to find a way to get her to go out with him.
Melanie works for the same publisher, as the executive assistant for the women’s fashion magazine located in the same building as Tyler. She’s noticed him several times now and is quite intrigued by him. But she’s a little shy and awkward when it comes to social interactions, she can’t even bring herself to even look at him- so she’s going to have to pull up her big girl panties and pluck up the nerve to speak to him. She also has big dreams and can’t wait to put her ideas to work.
Melanie loves the 80’s and Tyler is a 90’s guy. Their friendship builds and slowly more develops. What does the future hold for these two? Will they be drawn together in the end, or pushed apart? Will they see their dreams to fruition- or will their dreams be ripped apart?
This was a quick and easy read with a great pace and a smooth flow. The characters were very realistic, which made them quite relatable and believable. The story is sweet and touching. Overall, this was a fun and light-hearted read!

Thank you, Ms. Allen!

Siren’s Call: Cursed Seas by Amy McKinley – Review by Randall Murphy
The characters are extremely well defined, and the plot flows very smoothly. The storyline is appealing and really piques the interest of those that like mythology-based books. A good balance is used between building the characters and creating interest in the plot in the early chapters. The anticipation and emotions build throughout and keep the reader interested and glued to the story. The references to established characters such as Zeus, Poseidon, and Ares give the reader an immediate reference point and understanding of the some of the relationships. This a story I would definitely recommend to anyone that enjoyed stories or movies like “Percy Jackson”.

This is a great short read! This book includes 15 different stories, all perfect and satisfying.

Each story is very interesting to read, and it’s fun to see where Brad ends up next. He meets many different women and each story ends up very steamy and sexy. The chemistry between Brad and the other ladies just works for me.

I would highly recommend this book for a quick read. I’m very impressed how addicted I got and how the authors writing really pulls you in.

Undercover by Via Mari a four-star read you would want to uncover. This is the second story in the Billionaire Bodyguards series, this could be read as stand-alone I would recommend you read them in order as then you get the whole picture. It was great getting to know more about Matt, what made him into the man he is now. Via Mari has a great way with words, but she just managed to suck you in and get you involved in the worlds she writes.

Rule BreakerRule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander is a romance story with a twist that is hot, hot, hot. Phoebe is known for turning up the heat and she does not disappoint. I read it in one day, on the bus on the way to work, at lunch, on the way home on the bus and last night. I was so immersed that I could not put it down. There are a few characters that you want them to go away but the main characters just hit the spot. I loved Warren he just cracked me up with his excitement of his fantasies coming to life.
What happens when your husband wants to explore other things sexually? What he wants is a “Hotwife” and he may just get what he wants.

I will not give you any of the story as you need to sit and read it for yourself. Suffice it to say you will not be disappointed. You may also find yourself in need of a cold shower!

Game Changer by Sylvie Stewart is a winner. It is a wonderful romance story that just melts the heart. It is fun, it is hot, it is sad and most of all it has everything needed to keep you in your seat for hours just devouring it and laughing out loud, whilst also trying to keep the tears away in some places. I know whenever Sylvie’s name comes up for reading books I jump at the chance because she never lets me down. I know I am in safe hands as she take me on a journey with characters that you will love and a couple that you will not. If only we could have had more of the story in his POV as well, it would have added so much more value overall to the story but that is my opinion.

Poppy finds herself in a new town with a new job trying to be something she is not. Now she has found the one person she can be herself with, things take a turn she did not see coming.

Mac is a man of few words a little moody, ok he is a lot moody and has dealt with a lot in his life, so when he is thrust in the lime light he doesn’t cope very well. What doesn’t come easily and what he needs is a relationship, one with the beautiful red head, who is a walking contradiction, he cannot get off his mind.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sanctuary: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 2) by Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk is full of adventure and hopes as we continue the journey with our shifters as they race against capture to find the one thing that may save lives and give them a better home. It is a quick read and one that fully immerses you and steadily keeps you on your toes. There are little twists that you don’t see coming and the mystery of sanctuary is finally revealed but is it all that it seems. To find out we will have to read the next book for which I am now hanging. Sarah and Molly have given us enough mystery and drama, adventure and ups and downs that leave you flipping through the pages to know what happens. I must admit the tension was high and there was a moment when my heart went into overdrive but I managed to push through without any further health issues. LOL.

I will not tell you anything else you will need to read to find out what happens. You won’t be disappointed.

Finding Ruth by Cynthia Hamilton is a heartfelt and honest telling of one woman’s struggle with what her mother has become.It is heartbreakingly beautiful and engaging story about a complex yet remarkable woman, her mother. It is a story that will make your heartache and yes there will be tears, so get those tissues out. Cynthia put her heart and soul into this compelling narrative and has shown us the strength and courage that it has taken to show us this part of her world. We see the real life relationship, the ups and downs and the toil that dementia takes on everyone.

I applaud Cynthia for sharing with us. This is truly a remarkable read.

I could relate to her personality, very proper and organized in life. I felt confused right along with her and could not wait to get more information. I really loved Toby’s character.

Simply Irresistible: A Totally Sweet Love Story by Jennifer L. Allen was a fun 5 star read.

Melanie and Tyler work in the same building, they have seen each other several times on the elevator. Tyler finally works up the nerve to ask Melanie to lunch, where they quickly learn they were decade geeks, Melanie the 80’s and Tyler the 90’s.

They both have taken their current jobs, executive assistants as stepping stones to what they really want to do. Tyler does most of the work for his boss and hates him. Melanie designs her own clothes but is too afraid to tell her boss they are her designs.

As they go on more dates, they decide to become exclusive. When Tyler takes Melanie to meet his sister and her husband, she is surprised to see who is brother-in-law is. Wow, didn’t see that coming.

Overall I really enjoyed this book, I had so many LOL moments. I loved the sassiness between them. Neither of them were really looking for love but they were meant to be and made it work so well. I really enjoyed the epilogue and I look forward to reading more from Jennifer L. Allen.

SIREN’S CALL is one of those books that I wouldn’t normally have considered, yet I’ve always enjoyed the author’s writing so grabbed it when it became available.

An enjoyable read with suspense and intrigue. There is a dark humor in this story that was unexpected “…it is mens basic fear of commitment that holds them back.” I felt like it was a combination of mythology and Hans Christian Anderson’s stories with a twist, a turn and a centuries old debt.

This is definitely a story I would recommend.

TAILS ALWAYS WINS is the first book in the “Chasing Tails” series. If you took the paranormal element from the book, we could be reading about the racism and destruction of humans and animals alike in current day USA.

A fast paced read, this book has well developed characters and a clearly plotted story line. “No one wants to know what causes pure evil to linger in the air. It’s too vile for even the worst of humanity.” There are times I smiled and other times I just didnt like a character yet I stayed engaged.

I definitely recommend this story and look forward reading the next in the series .

Happily Ever After continues the love story of Isabella and Drake as they move to the next step in their relationship – marriage. This is the third book in the Brothers of Camelot series and the first book I’ve read from the series. I would recommend reading Book 1: The Only One – however the reader can quickly catch up with what is going on fairly well without needing to read the other books. The one word to describe this book would be heartwarming. I enjoyed the close connection between the families and love they share to those they care about.
