I really couldn’t wait to get my hands on Not so Wrong. This is book two in the Love Grows series from Renee Regent, and I fell in love with this series and author in book one. They are written as of now where you could read them as stand alones or out of order. However, you do get to meet the main characters for Not so Wrong briefly in book one. Either way, both are fab and your won’t want to miss out on either of them.
I truly loved reading Melanie and Spencer’s story. These two captured my heart fairly quickly and I was consumed with them from beginning to end, well past my bedtime. I truly think the only negative for this story for me was that it ended. I loved the music theme with this. Melanie and Spencer both have a love for music in common. Sencer writes and composes music and Melanie loves to sing. The music that is possible to be made when these two come together is beautiful and ever present in the writing. I was captivated and could almost feel as if I was there watching these two in person. I absolutely cannot wait to see what will come next in this series!!

Let me start by explaining a little about Alek. He’s dark, dangerous, violent, bloody, destructive, and…I love it! The man has serious issues and takes way too much enjoyment out of what he does and it seriously turns me on! Crazy right??? Gwyn has the uncanny ability to make you completely fall in love with her characters, no matter how gritty, dirty, and bad they are! She has quickly become one of my absolute favorite authors. Even in a quick read such as this one, the story line is so detailed, raw, and emotional that you see and feel every word she writes.
This is book two in the Deadliest Sin series and they must be read in order. Book one left me in shock. Book two, After Wrath, picks up with Aleksander seeking revenge on those who he feels have wronged him. Seeking to unleash the wrath of the Dragon and no one will stand in the way of him reaching his goal. The ending was completely unexpected and left me full of anticipation with how this can all possibly play out! The only thing I know for certain is that it will most certainly not disappoint! This series is gritty, violent, powerfully emotional, thought provoking, and sexy! I can’t wait to delve into Book 3 and see what journey the author takes us on! As is everything else I have read by this author, this is a 5-star must read series!

Truck Stopped was a great 5 star read and book 11 in the Satan’s Devils MC series.
We jump from past to present and learn some back history on Allie and Truck. Allie was kicked out of her home at a very young age and had to fend for herself on the streets. She made money the only way she knew how until she met a woman who brought her to the MC to work as a sweet butt.
Truck is a firefighter and MC member who was severely injured while fighting some fires in California. Since he’s been back he has avoided coming to the MC. The Pres decides to send Allie to Trucks to see if she can get him to let her in. Allie had made a connection with Truck before he left to fight fires, she hasn’t been the same since. She doesn’t want to be a sweet butt anymore, she wants to have something with Truck. Only problem is, Sweet butts don’t become old ladies.
Overall I loved this story. There are some unexpected twists to the story that had my emotions all over the place. These two definitely don’t have an easy story and at times I was thinking what else can happen to this poor couple. These two were perfect for each other, Allie didn’t see the scars on Truck only the genuine person he was inside and she had some of her own scars as well. They are a very strong couple. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. This is a great series that I highly suggest. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Oh sweet mylanta, this was such a fun and a perfect introduction to the writing of Zoe Lee. As a new author to me I solely went into this book based on the fun and sweet cover. I tend to be kind of an easy sell on small town romances and the fact that it had a catchy twist of the play on Cinderella just added to the allure for me. I was not one bit disappointed and in fact found the book to be even more of deep romance novel than I had anticipated. Don’t get me wrong, this book was the perfect light and airy read that kept be entertained on an otherwise drab day, but it was steamy to boot. I thought the humor drew in the sex appeal and then the couple seemed to top it off with a steamy bedroom chemistry as well. All a delightful bonus.
Daisy and Dunk are both fun and quirky in their own ways, yet that is what compliments them as a couple as well. I loved the push-pull and that it wasn’t done in a cheesy way. I got the undertone of the Cinderella story but it was done well and not over the top. Overall, these two are quickly easy to fall in love with and will be a sure favorite couple of the year for me. I look forward to seeing what I have missed from Zoe Lee and to whatever may come in the near future!

Wow! I knew going in that this story would be awesome. Every book I’ve read by Gwyn has been and this certainly did not disappoint! This book is a quick read that you won’t put down from page one to the end! It’s definitely NOT your typical happy ending love story but it WILL make you travel through the vast array of human emotions! It’s violent and bloody and a spectacular example of what we are capable of, and what we are willing to sacrifice, in an effort to keep our loved ones safe. I fell in love with these characters. Even after I finished the book, the feelings just simmered in my chest. That anyone could love another person this much… Go ahead and grab this one! You won’t be disappointed. You will possibly go into shock, but won’t be disappointed at all!

You wouldn’t think with a series of this size that it could be possible for the stories to get better. This is not the case with Truck Stopped, the eleventh book in Satan’s Devils MC series from a personal favorite, Manda Mellett. I do not think there was one emotion that I am capable of feeling, and maybe even a few new ones, that I did not experience while reading the story of Truck and Allie. This story is one that I promise you will tear you up and spit you out mercilessly, but it will also slowly pull you all back together again in a warm cozy feel way. The characters become so real you almost feel as if you should be able to reach out to them. I loved every moment of my time spent with these two and I only felt disappointment once I realized the book had come to a close. I truly hope there will be many more Satan’s Devils stories to come. I look forward to whatever it is however that is to come next from Manda Mellett!

Oh Gwyn…This is one of my absolute favorite, must-read authors but man…she wrecks me emotionally and mentally every single time!
Surviving Wrath was an exceptionally well written conclusion to the Deadliest Sin series but I want more! I need more! I’m still trying to rationalize with myself that this is truly the end. And what an ending it was! I’m not sure if I’m happy, sad, angry, straight up pissed off, or all of the above. I don’t know exactly how I feel but that’s the thing with this author, she ALWAYS makes you feel!
This is book 3 of this series and they must be read in order. Trust me, once you start book 1, you won’t stop until the last words of book 3! Every minute spent reading will have you on the edge of your seat, heart racing, impatient to find out what is going to happen next. You can’t help but fall in love with all the characters, whether they are good or bad, they become a part of you. You find yourself wishing for certain outcomes for them that they may or may not get. You’ll be happy and heartbroken at the same time. I won’t go into any details about the storyline because I don’t want to give anything away, but you definitely need to read this series! Gwyn McNamee is a stellar writer and never, ever disappoints! More than 5 stars from me!!!!

YES! This book is perfection! I have followed the Prestian Series all the way to the Torizial Affair and this is by far my most favorite of them all. Claimed is book three in the Torzial Affair series and I HIGHLY recommend that you read these books in order. You will really be able to understand and see the series for what it is, the romance and progression of a couple discovering they are meant for the BDSM lifestyle. In fact, Claimed, is the culmination in fact of that journey, where Brian and Jenny truly realize the roles in which they desire and need to have a successful relationship. This was such a beautifully written journey and I cant wait to see what will come next from the ever talented Via Mari.

UGH!! Where do I even start with Into Pieces? First of all, I cannot say enough good things about this book but I will start with the gorgeous cover! If I hadn’t already read book one I would have grabbed this novel without even knowing what it was about. I had to have this book once I finished book one, Shattered. I was lucky in that I read that only recently so I didn’t have the dreaded wait it seems for some, a thing I am glad about.
This book really reached the high expectations that book one set and actually for me in some ways exceeded it. I loved the dark almost thriller like undertone that kept me intrigued and on my toes as I fell in love with Jas and Angel. These two really tore me apart, literally ‘into pieces and slowly put me back together. Its beautifully written even in the dark parts. I can’t wait to see what we will get with book three. I can only expect that it will be just as fabulous as the first two.

Usually not one for sci-fi novels, I tend to make an exception for Donna S. Frelick. I have really enjoyed the Interstellar Rescue Series and have always been left rapt for more. Fools Rush In is the third in the series, but could be read as its own novel. It really is actually a prequel more than anything so this may even be a good place to start if you want to meet the characters and have some more detailed back story. I’m sure after reading it you will be hooked on the series either way.
I love the characters Agent Rayna Carver and Pirate Sam Murphy. Both of them are great but together they are dynamite. I truly enjoy the equal grounding they both have as leads and as characters. The story is action-packed, literally straight out the gate, and it doesn’t slow down past lightning speed until the very end. The subtle romance was a nice touch to add depth of emotion as you read. I look forward to seeing what will come in the following books.

India Kells really kicked up the steam with this second installment of the Underground Bad Boys Romance series. The Traitor has to be my favorite book of India Kells that I have read yet. I love the dark and twisty storyline laced with passion and emotion that can’t be topped except if it were to be real life. Be prepared for steamy m/f/m scenes so make sure that is your cup of tea, if so this is one of the better written scenarios that I have read.
Spencer has not had an easy life, most definitely not the one that he would like to have either. Things may not be so easy even now, when a mysterious woman brings his past back into light. Josie is killing herself with work to try and undo the damage the past and terrible ex caused her. The new man in town will bring about even more change. And then there is Gage, my personal favorite. He is running from the past and finds himself a little something to occupy his time and mind in the meantime. Unfortunately, Gage will have more struggle and once again the one who doesn’t belong. These three will light up your kindles and keep you on your toes until the very end. I can’t wait to find out what the next book will hold!

This is a relationship done mostly through texting for about the first year. No meeting in person. They share the same apartment but one is always gone. I thought this was a novel idea. I only wish they could have come together a bit sooner. While apart the story focuses on the story/book that Rika is writing.
I love all the family! Their interactions are really what make this a great read. The razzing, the betting, the head slaps and the teasing. I was really looking forward to reading this after book one. Just to be able to hang out with all these characters and all their zaniness again. But this one just fell flat for me. I struggled getting into and caring about the two main characters. My problems were the subplot-too much and too distracting and choppy and I felt there was too much overlapping from book 1(now it’s from Rika or Connors perspectives). I just found my mind drifting while in these areas. Other than those couple items I enjoyed the book.
This is my second book by this author. I was over the moon with her first in this series. I struggled a bit with this one. It’s a good story and she weaves in the sub plot. The characters are good and we do find out more about the Fishers. I read the Epilogue where we find out who the next book is about….it sound great!

This is another of those books that the blurb sounds amazing, the cover is gorgeous, the premise of the book is one that I’ve read and enjoyed before, but there was something about it that just didn’t enthrall me like I anticipated.
It wasn’t one major thing, it was a bunch if little things that all blended together.
Having said all that…
The writing is visually appealing while being conservative in details. The characters and storyline held my interest enough that I will be reading the next book in the series. The flow of the story was linear and there was a sexy pirate.

The Time Traveler’s Magic (Magic Bound Saga Book 1) by Anna Applegate
5-Stars
The Time Traveler’s Magic (Magic Bound Saga Book 1) by Anna Applegate take readers on an excellent adventure through time. It features romance, magick, shifters, vampires, and of course time travelers. Ember is unique and after her mother enters a coma finds out there is more going on than she realized. This is especially so when she finds herself in the past with Rane. This story was easy to follow and difficult for me to put down. I loved every bit of it! The characters were excellent and developed well. It was also easy for me to visualize the different time periods Ember visited. I can’t wait for book two in this series to come out. I highly recommend this novel!

This is the next book in this series, while its not necessary to read book 1, I would because its a great book and we see the previous characters in this one. We meet Knox and Josie in this book and wow, you could feel the heat through the pages. Im not giving anything away because its best read yourself. But just know you won’t want to put it down once you start. Stubborn Knox and sweet Josie are sure to become favorites just like they did for me.

Tangles by Sharleen Scott is a highly emotional book about one persons fight with Alzheimer’s and another’s fight to discover more about the past. This is one of those books that I found really resonated with me. I think because it involves an issue that is so prevalent nowadays and really does effect a lot of people. The way the author weaves this story is brilliant. She really makes you feel you are on the journey with them. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Logan and what he was having to go through. The story was such an easy one to fall into as well. I was drawn into the book and couldn’t put it down. This really is well written and a book I would definitely recommend.

Fools Rush In is Book #3 in the Interstellar Rescue series. Each book that Donna S. Frelick writes brings an amazing level of adventure, romance and edge of the seat action. Book 3 is definitely my favourite one of this series, and also two of my favourite characters. I loved following their journey in this read, the author has given us a well developed and descriptive storyline that is mentally visual to all that reads it. I was totally hooked from the beginning and couldn’t put it down till the end. I must say even though these books can be read as a stand-alone, but for the extra depth and weaving of characters and storylines, I highly recommend reading all these books together, I know for a fact that you wouldn’t be disappointed.
I can’t wait to see where the rest of this series takes us and what else this author has to offer, but I’m excited to find out! Until then do not miss this read!

The Time Traveller’s Magic (Book 1 of the Magic Bound Saga) by Anna Applegate is a fantasy story that I really enjoyed reading. There is magic and shifters and vampires and pirates and plenty of action to keep you interested and engaged. It is a different and original concept and was really well written. Anna has woven several genres to make it a magical and exciting read.
Ember is a time traveller but has no recollection of it and fears she maybe going insane. As her mother becomes ill she must learn what she is to be able to save her and stop the evil that is threatening the events of time. Ember is a strong woman but at times she drove me absolutely insane because she would not do as she was told. Having said that though I loved the way it played havoc with Rane.
Rane is a pirate and has a nemesis that is making his and everyone else’s lives tougher but not just in his time, he is causing havoc across the centuries as well. Rane is my favourite character, I fell in love with him. When a mysterious woman once again pops up on his ship he tries to make her see reason and do as she is told but he swears that she will be the death of him. I enjoyed their interaction and loved reading Ranes’ thoughts as the story is told in different POV’s. The interactions between Rane and Ember are full of lust and tension, sizzling heat and an unknown draw which neither understand.
I really enjoyed this first book to the series and am anxiously awaiting reading the rest of the series. BUT WTF! Renee come on a cliff hanger! I swear I cursed up a storm just like the pirates in the story.

Surviving Wrath is the last novel in the Deadliest Sins series by Gwyn McNamee. This is my twelfth novel by this author.
With such a fast paced conclusion, it left me with a lot of questions and I hope the author may come back to this series to fill in the blanks. Felt like the ending was open ended with the possibility for me which I am all for. The ending definitely leaves you speechless and not sure what to think. I have all these questions about what happened to the characters and how things progress.
The novels are really short and quick to read but they are worth it.

Discovery is the first book in The Orphan Train Saga by Sherry A. Burton. This book is a mixture of history, mystery, drama, fact, and fiction. While all the characters and situations in the story are fictional, the ‘Orphan Trains’ and the situations that brought them about, are quite factual. I was completely fascinated by the story behind the Orphan Trains, which play a big part in the story- but I really appreciated the extra details in the author’s note at the end of the book. Facts that really were quite emotional, and really grabbed me by the heartstrings- I really felt for all those children and what they must have gone through to end up on the Orphan Train, and for a lot of them, their hardship didn’t stop at the end of that journey. Anyway, I digress a little. I read this story in one sitting- completely intrigued by the whole saga. The way Ms. Burton has blended fact, with her well thought out fiction, really held my attention. The story transitions from past to present quite seamlessly, going back and forth multiple times. So, it’s almost like we really get two stories in one. One is set in the 1920’s and the other in our modern day. It touches on secrets, discovery, hardship, friendship, family, love, understanding, and survival. Cindy Moore never suspected that cleaning out her grandmothers storage unit would lead her on a journey of discovery and revelation. A doll. A key. And some journals propel her on a fact finding mission- a little detour from what she had originally planned. The story gets more intriguing the further it unfolds. As this is the first book in the series, I really can’t wait to find out what happens in the next book. The story is well written, if not a little ‘formal’ or ‘stiff’ in places. But, this is a fairly minor issue which didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment of the story. Emotive!

The series The Confectioner Chronicles is a great Ya series by Claire Luana. Claire Luana has an imagination that you can see clearly while reading her books. This series has been created in a world that food has become part of the magic in this world. There is an underlying theme of trust (with magical desserts to help). There is mystery, fantasy, magic, danger, secrets, and skeletons in the closet to go around. The stories take you on a wild ride. I recommend to set enough time to read the stories in one setting.So sit down relax with your favorite beverage, favorite comfy clothes, and a favorite blanket and enjoy Claire Luana’s The Confectioner’s Chronicles.

A Divided Mind By Mary Billiter. This book really pulled me in. It was a welcome surprise to read something a bit different and about a subject that some can find difficult to understand. I was on an emotional roller coaster ride but truly enjoyed the storyline and the characters. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. The characters are complex and truly unique. I’m giving this story a five star review and highly recommend it.

A Divided Mind by M. Billiter is a story that I would keep a box of tissues close. When I saw the cover I knew I needed to read this book. M. Billiter did an amazing job with her story about schizophrenic patients. I never had the experience of knowing someone with this disability, but I can just imagine how difficult it may be. This story is about Branson who deals with the voices in his head. It hard at times to distinguish who is in Branson’s head or in the flesh. The struggle is real and the journey you go with Branson is a difficult one. Will this book open your eyes or keep you in the dark? Will Branson story touch your heart? This story is an emotional roller coaster ride that may stick with you awhile.

The Traitor by India Kells is the second book in the Underground Bad Boys series. I love India Kells stories. She is an amazing storyteller. She can hold my attention with her words and the images that I can see in my mind’s eye. I am not one for steaming sex scenes but this story made me rethink that view point. This story is about Spencer and what he has been apart of socially. He has been on the down low since he betrayed his boss. He sees Josie and he wants to keep his distance because he believes she is not right for him. He was doing just that until he sees someone from his past. Will Spencer keep his distance or will he take Josie under his wing? Will the person from his past get in the way? Read on to see what happens.

Ok that headline is a little shouty, but you will be doing yourself a disservice if you read this series out of order.
Surviving Wrath is the third and final installment of “The Deadliest Sin Series”. The series is told in multiple points of view which makes the read very interesting. I thought I knew what was going on – I really did – and I’m not sure if I would make the same or different decisions when faced with … well read the book to find out.
Now that the series is complete, I am going to go back and read all three from beginning to end as each picks up where the last left off. The flow of the series is strong and perfectly paced. Emotions (including wanting to throw my Kindle against a wall) were felt the whole way through.
A note about the writer… I read the “Slip Series” and assumed she was a rom-com author. I read “The Savage Series” and assumed that was as dark as she could go, that is not the case. I have no idea what she will write next, but I for one will be one clicking as soon as it has a title.
I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES AND THIS AUTHOR!!! (wow that was shouty too)

I enjoyed this book. I highly recommend reading the prequel first to help understand where this one is starting from as this picks up where the previous left off. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning. Ember is a great character. She has a long road ahead of her with learning her powers but she is strong. I enjoy watching her grow throughout this series. Her story has a little bit of everything from time travel to vampires to sexy pirates. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one I read by this author, if not my favorite. This author does a great job of going from past to present with ease. I had no problem keeping up with this story. The characters made the story feel real, I had no trouble putting myself in this story. I liked how the story told went back and forth between Sam and Liz. They are great characters that took me on a journey of finding oneself and examining life. I highly recommend this book.
I enjoyed this book. At first I was sure what to think of it but the more I read the more I wanted to keep turning pages. This is a romance-suspense book that left me on the edge of my seat a couple of times. The characters are strong and connectable. Darcy and Liz have grown stronger as a couple despite everything they have been through. Now someone is there to threaten that bond. She disappears, will he find her in time? I don’t regret picking up this book, I highly recommend this book.
