Elemental Fae Academy: Book Two (Elemental Fae Academy #2)Elemental Fae Academy: Book Two by Lexi C. Foss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Elemental Fae Academy: Book Two is the second spellbinding instalment in the Elemental Fae Academy Trilogy by Lexi C. Foss and J.R Thorn. I am really loving this series, it has completely captivated me and had me glued to the pages, while I devoured my way through the story just so I could discover what happens next. This book continues the storyline from the first book- and it picks up right where we left off in book one. So, if you haven’t read the first book, I highly recommend that you do- because this is not a standalone and should be read as part of the series. There is important background, storyline, and character information contained in the first book which you will need to know in order to fully appreciate and enjoy this story.
After the way the previous book finished, and the fact that I LOVED it so much- I really had high expectations for this story. So I can’t be more excited, now that I’ve finished it, by what these two talented authors created and the incredible ‘adventure’ they’re taking us on. There is so much going for this book/series. I really am at a loss for words to do it the justice I think it deserves.
As with the first book, this is a wonderful fantasy with a reverse harem/PNR romance. There’s plenty of action, drama, danger, hidden agendas, tension, mystery, politics, power-plays, battles, romance, passion, and so much more. And this story is definitely quite a bit sexier and steamier than the first.
Claire had only begun to wrap her mind around the events which unfolded in the previous book (I know I am being a little vague- but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t read the story yet) while also getting a grip on her ‘powers’, when she is flung into another crisis. Someone seems to be targeting her, and is willing to go to any lengths to get to her. When her spirit connection goes missing, Claire is desperate to be reunited with it- and time is running out. If she doesn’t find it, the connection will be severed- permanently. She and her sexy Fae will all need to work together to figure everything out before it’s too late. Easy right-um, not so much?
I absolutely cannot wait for book three!!!! I need it like yesterday!!!! November can’t come quick enough. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Definitely one of my favourite reads for this year!

Thank you, Lexi C. Foss & J.R Thorn!

Secrets Never DieSecrets Never Die by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Laurie Lewis has become an author on my must list. Her books are suspenseful-the kind that keeps you hooked from the first page to the last page. Secrets Never Die is that book. There is little suspense and a little romance all wrapped into one. There are two mysteries taken place one about a female,Tallie whose mother moved around and the other is about a reporter, Jackson who has had problems in his career. Each investigates their lives which leads them down a path that they may not be ready to see or hear about. The story is gripping and is a roller coaster ride. Every decision can lead to a good situation or a bad situation. Will Tallie and Jackson find the answers they are after or will it put them deeper into the rabbit hole?

A Dark Sparrow Box Set - Books 1-3A Dark Sparrow Box Set – Books 1-3 by India Kells

A Dark Sparrow Boxset by India Kells is a series about six brothers and the ties of family.
Each of these books is about a different brother however I personally would recommend you reading them in order as the characters development from the author is brilliant. It would give you a more complete experience.
Each book – each brother – is fantastic to read about. Their stories are so different and yet all have that similar feeling to them. And they each find the one person who is their perfect match.
The stories are all exciting and fast paced. You are drawn into them so easily and simply cannot put them down. You should do yourself a favour and buy this boxset today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Darcy’s Caution is the first book that I have read by Zoe Burton. I thoroughly enjoyed her writing style and will read more of her books now. The description is so vivid which made it easy to draw the picture in my mind’s eye. The plot was interesting as it has a romance-suspense theme. This story is about Darcy and his wife Liz. The couple grows stronger with every turn that is put in their path. The biggest threat to them is a stalker who is obsessed with Darcy. Liz goes missing and Darcy is beside himself. Will Darcy find Liz before it is too late? You will just have to read the book to find out.

Elemental Fae Academy: Book 2 by Lexi C. Foss and J.R. Thorn is the brilliant second book in an amazing trilogy. You do need to have read the first book in order to fully appreciate this one.
We are taken back into the world that Claire found herself part of in book 1. She has started to embrace her new world when new obstacles are thrown in her way. The authors have down a great job in making it almost feel like you are picking right up from where you left off last time. It was so easy to fall back into Claire’s story.
The Fae are as intriguing and fantasy inducing as they ever were. I loved how they are all different from each other and yet all equally as likeable.
This has been a brilliant series so far as I can’t wait to read book 3!

Virtue & Vice is the second book in Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. With this being the second book in the series if can be a stand alone book but would be enjoyed more by reading the first one as well. Phoebe is a talented writer who makes the characters fly off the page. The characters have chemistry that does not stay on the pages. This story is about Moon and Katja’s story. They are trying to build Spicetopia “a slice of heaven” with another couple. Each couple has their own qualifications when it comes to having a “slice of heaven”. Will the couples be able to create their “slice of heaven” or will the idea go bust?

Paladin's Hell: Satan's Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) #1Paladin’s Hell: Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) #1 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Paladin’s Hell is the much awaited first book of the Colorado Chapter Satan’s Devils MC from Manda Mellett. I adored the original Satan’s Devils MC stories so when I heard there would be a spinoff series with an emphasis on a Colorado Chapter I was hooked before I even read a single word of it. Colorado is one of my favorite places in the world so add that I would have an awesome new characters to watch enjoying Colorado is a win win in my book.

In Paladin’s Hell we get the full story of Jayden and Paladin. Jayden was rescued by the Satan’s Devils two years ago. This was the first time the two met and it seemed to be an instant attraction for the two. These two have to make a move to a new compound and things will get interesting. Will these two be able to withstand all the obstacles that seem to plague them? Is there any hope for a happily ever after? I can’t wait to see what will come next in the series. I know for sure I will love it so I am just ready for the newest adventure with the Satan’s Devils.

Elemental Fae Academy (Elemental Fae Academy, #1)Elemental Fae Academy by Lexi C. Foss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So I was completely hooked on needing to read these books from the moment I read a few teasers floating around. I had some reservations at first because both the authors are new to me and I frankly despise most reverse harem novels. However, this book could not have hit it more squarely on the perfect mark if it tried. I was sucked into this imaginative, bright, and shiny new world full of steamy intrigue and magic I never knew existed. Elemental Fae Academy brings to life this fae world where Clare, our main character, is thrust to exist in when she receives her gifts on the eve of her 21st birthday.

If you think that sounds like enough for a fabulous and exciting storyline, you are probably right, but the authors throw us this harem built between the ever so sexy Exos and Titus and Clare. This gives us hot, hot scenes that will leave you gasping for air as much as Clare. It adds a much needed layer to the story that elevates this to being among the best I have read of harem romance. I am dying to know what will come next and honestly devouring book two is my plans for the evening right after I finish this review! I can’t wait to see what will happen!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am truly sad to see this series end. However, I couldn’t have pictured a more perfect way for it to do so. I am a sucker for college romances and this What Happens on Campus College Romances from M.L. Sparrow has quickly become a favorite of mine. You MUST read these books in order for you to fully understand what is going on.

Friend, focuses on Jet and Terri and where things go after she is left to cope in the aftermath of a horrible trauma. These two really are the perfect match for each other and it truly makes reading their story that much more enjoyable to see the obvious chemistry between the two from the very get go. Terri has a long road full of obstacles and growth in order for her to be able to feel normal again after her attack. Jet lifts her up in all the swoon worthy ways and helps put her pieces back together perfectly. I absolutely love these two and I am sad to see their story conclude but know it all worked out for the best. I look forward to seeing what will come next from M.L. Sparrow. Whatever it is, I’m going to scoop it up asap!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Dark Sparrow series from India Kells has to be my favorite series of hers to date. When I saw that the first three books were available as a box set, I knew I had to scoop it up. Not only do I have to still devour the first book in the series, I know several gals that would love this series just as much as I have so it makes the perfect gifting option. I have truly felt all the emotions known while reading these novels and the series will keep you entertained for hours with lots of suspense and steamy content. I am so excited to get to read the first book and then re-read the following ones. I will be looking forward to seeing what else will come from the ever talented India Kells. Below is my reviews for books two and three.

Cold Bastard (Dark Sparrow #2)
“The question isn’t who’s going to let me; it’s who’s going to stop me.” ~ Ayn Rand

This was my first experience reading any of India Kells novels. I had not read the first one in the Dark Sparrow series, but didn’t feel like it affected my ability to fully enjoy this one. Though, since I did, I am compelled to go back and read that, and maybe some more of this author. I really enjoyed how India Kells managed to weave a detailed and complicated storyline with ease and friendly to the reader. It was fast paced and had me on the edge of my seat until I suddenly found myself with no more to read in a few short hours. I found it a perfect poolside read full of mystery, adventure, suspense, romance, and so much more.
Our two main characters in this novel are Zoe and Archer. Each have secrets in their past that will come back to haunt them. Will these be detrimental to not only their survival, but also their ability to find a happily ever after that you so want them to find?

I really connected to Zoe. She is a curvy, smart, and sassy redhead, much like myself. To me this really pulled me into the story and had me feeling like I was on the same page with her throughout the entire novel. Zoe is a Dark Sparrow (A soul offered a new life in exchange for a favor to be repaid later.) that has been assigned to infiltrate the Blackwood Corporation. This is where Archer comes in. I found him to be a nice compliment to Zoe. Archer has a very different persona. In his past it was his secrets that has turned him into the cold bastard that he is today. Zoe never figured that she would fall for someone like Archer but finds herself feeling a very strong attraction towards him. Will she choose to follow her heart or fulfill her job above all?

I really look forward to reading the next book in the series. I hope that it will keep me on the edge of my seat much like this one.

“Life Shrinks or expands in proportion with one’s courage.”~ Anais Nin

Wild Bastard (Dark Sparrow #3)

India Kells really just keeps on outdoing her own self. I have been an avid reader of Kells for a long time now so any time a new book of hers is available I tend to scoop them up without so much as a blink. I’m especially partial to this Dark Sparrow series of hers. Wild Bastard is the third book in the series, but could if you really want to miss out on some fantastic novels read this as a stand alone. They do have recurring characters but India Kells always keeps it easy to follow.

Wild Bastard is Kai and Izzy’s story. I adored these two and really enjoyed reading their journey. The two met and fell madly in love with each other years before but Izzy one day disappeared without so much as a goodbye. Here we are now and we find Izzy and Kai crossing each other’s path again. Will they be able to capture that same love they had before and hang on to it this time? I can’t wait to find out what will come next for the Dark Sparrow series!

Darcy's Caution (Pride & Prejudice & Racecars Book 3)Darcy’s Caution by Zoe Burton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am completely new to Zoe Burton and her writing but when I saw this was a fan fiction type novel based upon one of my all-time favorite classics, Pride & Prejudice, I knew I had to see what this was all about. Now, Darcy’s Caution is the third book of the Pride & Prejudice & Racecars series, but I have not read the previous two and wasn’t lost at all, so this could easily be read as a standalone if this is where you choose to start. I will probably be going back to read the first two before I dive further into the series.

Darcy’s Caution is full of characters that boast the names of the classic story characters. There is lots of suspense and intrigue as we follow Will and Liz Darcy in the young marriage. Will has a stalker that becomes dangerous and threatens to take the one thing Will holds most dear, Liz. Will they be able to stick together and overcome the obstacles in the way? Will they stop the stalker before it is too late? These are just a few of the questions that you will encounter as you read their story. It is one you won’t want to miss out on. Happy reading!

By: Lexi C. Foss and J.R. Thorn
5 out of 5 stars

The story Elemental Fae Academy (Elemental Fae Academy Book 2) by Lexi C. Foss and J.R. Thorn is the next wonderful story in an amazing series. It has magic, romance, and danger. I love to read about the characters, and I found the storyline to be well-developed and kept me guessing as to what was going to happen next. In this book, Exos has been taken and the main female character has to depend on her other elements to help find him. The dynamics that these characters show run from conflicted to sarcastic. I enjoyed reading about the bantering that goes back and forth between characters. There is plenty of romance in this story. There are also characters that I found myself wondering about their motives and if they are truly all that they seem to be. This is the second story in a series that should be read in order to understand all that is transpiring. This is a book that will pull you in and won’t let you go until the last page. I highly recommend reading it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t know why I don’t read more MC stories! Every time I do I fall more head over heels for them. I don’t know where Mellett has been hiding! I love this author and her club! This story can be read as a stand-alone but little did I know that the Arizona Chapter is where it all starts. You can tell that some of the characters in this book have their own stories. I can’t wait to go read all 9 of those books! And what is next for Demon and the Colorado Chapter!

Paladin’s Hell is about Paladin and Jayden as well as Hellfire and Moira. I loved how this story had two different couples at two different times in their lives. There are not many books with over 40 main characters so having them in this story is so extra! The twists in this story are beyond great. And I even caught myself laughing out loud at Pal and Jay.

“While my breathing returns to normal, I can’t help but laugh at the expression of distaste on her face. “Guess you’re not going to want to swallow.””

Definitely recommend this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

This was an AMAZING box set!! I absolutely loved everything about it! The authors writing was phenomenal and each story was a 5 star read for me! The box set included Lost Bastard, Cold Bastard and Wild Bastard – these are the first three books in the Dark Sparrow series and are well worth a read! The series features 6 brothers and if the first three are anything to go by I cannot wait to meet the next three! It’s difficult to choose a favourite book from this box set as each brother has their own story to tell but if I really had to choose one then I think probably Cold Bastard – there was just something about this story which really pulled me in – it was a little more complex than the other two so I think I was really invested in what was happening and had to work a little harder to fully get to know the characters!
This really is an amazing box set that I 100% recommend! I am really looking forward to more to come from this series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Complete Fenris series is made up of a fantastic collection of stories – each of them were really enjoyable reads! The stories weren’t overly long which I liked and it was great to go straight on to the next without waiting. I actually read the whole series over a couple of days. I really enjoyed the mythology side to the stories mixed in with some romance. The characters were well thought out and detailed. I think out of the stories in the collection my favourite was probably book 1 in the series – The Monsters Lover. It definitely set the scene well for the rest of the series. I loved Sol and Fenris – the connection they had was just so genuine and could really feel it.
I have read other books from this author and I really do enjoy her writing – the stories are easy to read, full of imagination and creativity. I would absolutely recommend this series and I look forward to more from Ms MacLeod in the future.

Someone wants me dead.

Worse yet, my link to Spirit is dying. Why? Because Exos has been taken by a new enemy. Now I have to rely on my other elements to find my missing link before it’s too late.

Oh, and I need a guard to protect me while I learn how to defend myself. No big deal. Master the elements, find my lost Spirit, and identify the bad guy.

Vox just wants to be friends.

Anyone that has ever had a struggle communicating with a parent will enjoy Rowena Holloway’s story, All That’s Left Unsaid. There is nothing more frustrating than to speak the same language as another and find out…..you don’t speak the same language. Harriet is not only confused herself, but she is quite confusing in this story. You don’t know whether to feel sorry for her or bark at her. In the end it’s her stubbornness that becomes her most endearing trait. An intriguing mystery that moves along at a brisk little pace. Near the end, I couldn’t put it down. I had to know.

This fell into my hands at just the right time. I loved this book. What an unexpected treat! From the summary I knew I would enjoy it but I wasn’t prepared to be thrown into this new world and become immersed and transfixed so quickly. The characters jumped off the page. The main character and her sudden transport into the Fae Realm, the discovery of the Fae Realm… all of it was extremely well written and fun to read. I thoroughly enjoyed this quick and engaging read and cannot wait to pick up book two in the series. Loved it!

Battling Beckett was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning.

This is Beckett and Greer’s story. Greer and her mother have recently moved into the house with Beckett and his father, and Beckett is not happy about it. Beckett is adamant that Greer does not act like she knows him at school, he is absolutely terrible to her.

Beckett is a hot as heck quarterback and despite his being mean to her, Greer is starting to have feelings for him. What is wrong with her?

Greer is a strong character and I really enjoyed her. Overall this was a great read and I highly recommend you start today so you can see just how things work out for this family. This is my first read by this author and I can’t wait to read more.

A Dark Sparrow Box Set by India Kells consists of the three books in this series: Lost Bastard, Cold Bastard, and Wild Bastard. This is a really good series that I enjoyed. Cold Bastard by India Kells is the second book in the Dark Sparrow series. I was really looking forward to reading this after reading the first book and I was not disappointed. The story is about Zoe Somersby and Archer Blackwood. Zoe had been brought in to work for Archer as an undercover agent.
The characters are well written and allowed the story to flow. There was lots of suspense and mystery as well as a little romance. I really like this is a well thought out story and the characters are interesting people. Everyone is not always what one would assume. I look forward to reading the next book in the series to see where the story goes next.
Wild Bastard by India Kells is the third book in A Dark Sparrow series. This tells the story of Kai and Isabel. Kai is trying to take down his father’s business and in the process runs into his past. Isabel after breaking his heart in the past has become a strong woman who has a life and secrets of her own. Will the two find their happily ever after?
Like the other books in the series, this can be read as a standalone. I have enjoyed not only this one but the others as well. Characters overlap and it is nice to get Kai’s story. I enjoyed the characters and wanted to see everything work out for them. The problems they encounter are crazy at times but seem to bring them closer and in a better understanding of one another. I enjoyed this book and look forward to others from this author.

The Complete Fenris Series by Samantha MacLeod is an excellent compilation of stories including an extra book. I absolutely loved this series and really enjoyed the prequel novel! The characters are amazing and creative. I also loved the Norse mythology background required to create the storyline and back story of many of the characters. It was easy to get lost in these books without realizing how much time has passed. Each story has an easy to follow flow and is very organized. Fenris was an interesting male and he intrigued me. These books are wonderful and I highly recommend ALL of them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Friend: A College Romance by M.L. Sparrow is the third book in the What Happens on Campus series.
Yet again this author has written a book that is not only engaging and interesting but has brilliant characters. Out of all the books I have read by her this one has to be my favourite so far! I loved the connection between Jet and Terri and I loved watching his understanding grow over his feelings towards her. It was also great to see how Terri developed over the course of the book and how her experience gave her a new type of understanding.
Yes this is a book that could have triggers for some people however in my opinion the author handled it perfectly. This is a fantastic book and one I cannot recommended d highly enough.

Resisting the Rancher (The Hills of Texas Book 2) by Kadie Scott – Review by Karyn Taylor

Resisting the Rancher (Hills of Texas, #2)Resisting the Rancher by Kadie Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Resisting The Rancher is the 2nd book in the Hills of Texas Series by Kadie Scott. Each book can be read as a standalone or as part of the series. Before this I had only read the 3rd book Taming The Troublemaker and did not find that this spoiled my reading of a previous book in the series.
Each book tells us the story of one of the Hill’s siblings, in this case Williams (Will) who runs the family ranch, providing animals to take part in rodeos. At one such rodeo Rusty Walker comes crashing into his life. Rusty is hoping to inherit her father’s ranch but he’s just told her that she needs to marry a rancher in order to inherit. Will and Rusty agree to marry so that she can inherit and he can gain a partnership with her family.
I loved both Will and Rusty, they are both amazing characters. Both are headstrong, hard-working and will do anything for their families. The story is so angst filled and will take you through many emotions. I loved reading the growing relationship between the 2 as they both fought the attraction they had for each other. Will is determined that he wants to have Rusty as his real wife and not a fake one and he does everything he can to make Rusty see that they are perfect for each other.
Having now read book 3 and then book 2 in this great series, I really want to read the others and get the stories of the rest of the Hill siblings.

Friend: A College Romance is the third book in the What Happens on Campus series by M.L Sparrow. This is a friends to lovers/college romance with some drama, emotion, friendship, and more. As expected from reading quite a few of Ms. Sparrow’s other books, this story is really well written- and the storyline will definitely pull you in, so before you know it- you’ll be hooked.
The characters are crafted so well- becoming fully realised and complex individuals who were very realistic and entirely believable- having their own personalities, quirks and flaws.
We met Terri Murphy in the previous book, “Flirt”, as she is Riley’s Twin. She experienced a very traumatic event which has left her emotionally wrought. She is normally the calm, steady, reliable, and grounded twin- with a fierce independent streak- so needing, and asking for help, is all new to her. She struggles with her situation, and ‘moving on’ from the attack. So, when everyone heads off for Spring Break she stays behind- but so does her best friend, Jet. She’s had a secret crush on him for the past 3 years, but he’d only seemed interested in friendship. He aspires to become an author and has put all his focus and energy into achieving his dream. But he feels for his friend and what she has been through, and he wants to take her mind off her troubles and distract her, as best he can. As they spend time together having fun, he begins to realise how much more there is to appreciate about her. Feelings being to develop. But he will need to convince her that his new-found interest isn’t just a ruse to try and make her feel better. Will he convince her that his romantic interest is real? Will they risk their friendship and take a chance on love? What does fate have in store for these two? This story is well worth the read to find out!!

Thank you, Ms. Sparrow!

Forbidden (Tales of Passion, Lust & Betrayal Vol. 1) by Autumn Sand – Review by Sara Oxton

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forbidden by Autumn Sand a complex four-star read. I don’t know what to say about this one without telling you what’s behind the seven doors, other than be warned you will need a tall glass of something cold to cool you off after taking a peep behind each door. Each story is individual having its own characters and naughtiness, it’s fascinating that all of these things could come from one mind. What a mind you must have Autumn Sand, I know I would love to sit with you over cocktails and pick your brain.

Calling the Curveball: a Lawson Family Novel by Tracey Cramer Kelly-Review by Moriah Venable

Calling the CurveballCalling the Curveball by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Calling the Curveball is the first novel in the Family Lawson series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly. This is my first novel by this author.

Jamie Lawson has a bright future playing baseball until tragedy strikes, changing the course of his life. Five years later, he is still coping and trying to pick up the pieces of his shattered life.

In walks Kira Walker, who asked him and surprising he agrees but will the pain he still holds preventing him from finding love?

I don’t want to give anything away but this was an emotional story that I was not ready for but truly enjoyed. I fell in love with the characters as well as the supporting characters and hope we see them again in their own books.

The emotional roller-coaster ride from the relationship between Jamie and Kira just had me wishing for a happy ending for them and for Jamie to finally move forward in life and be happy. With such a simple plot, the story was more complex and intricate with the characters and their relationships to each other.

I hope there is another book in the series because I would definitely read it.
