Drawing Strength From Words (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 2)Drawing Strength From Words by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Drawing Strength From Words by C.A. King is a quick light read. It is book 2 in the Four Horsemen series. This book is about Gabrielle who is one of the horsemen which I thought was super cool and unique to have a woman in that role. I only say that because most things I have seen always portray them as men. Overall I enjoyed the book. I thought it was a fun read and I look forward to others. 4 star rating.

Toxic Blonde (A Johnny Delarosa Thriller Book 2) by David Stever – Review by Erica Fish

Toxic Blonde: A Johnny Delarosa Thriller (The Delarosa Series Book 2)Toxic Blonde: A Johnny Delarosa Thriller by David Stever
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Toxic Blonde is the second book in A Johnny Delarosa thriller series by David Stever. If you like thrillers this will be right up your reading standards. David Stever can keep you guess on what the outcome will be. His stories have a deep mysterious plot line, plus complex characters. I love Johnny Delarosa. I can picture him in my mind’s eye and to me that makes me enjoy the story even more. There is everything to make this story a thriller. From Russian mobsters, FBI, whistle blowers, and a computer hacker that all play a part in this thriller. Will this be too much for Johnny Delarosa this time? Who can he trust? Is there someone lying in wait that noone sees coming? You will have to read the story to find out.

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2) by C.A. King – Review by Erica Fish

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2)Hang On To Your Shirt Tails by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails by C. A. King is a must read. I highly recommend reading the first book in the series because then you will get the story of Tails and Brodie. C. A. King is an amazing author who writes awesome supernatural thrillers. She has this ability of pulling me in as the reader into her world and keeping me there with all the twists and turns that happen in the story will keep you reading. There is a tendency for me to turn the pages to fast and miss the last sentence on the page. We see Tails and Brodie who took themselves and their adopted children away from the group and live in isolation. They believe that they will be better off this way, but will they? Can they just walk away from the “club”? Can it be this simple?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dark Feathers by Natalina Reis
Five Stars

Dark Feathers is a paranormal romance by Natalina Reis. This is one of the best books I have read by Natalina. It had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. I would highly recommend that you read Lavender Fields because there are recurring characters from that book in this masterpiece. They are both five star reads. This book features Phoenix who is a dark angel sent to spy on Joan, and Joan is looking for a roommate, not love. Somehow, when they meet emotions start churning and they find themselves trying to win the right to live and love each other. This book will take you on a roller coaster ride that you won’t want to get off. If you love paranormal or just a great romance, this is the book for you.

Beneath the Fallen City (The Omni Towers Series Book 1) by Jamie A. Waters – Review by Maura Harper

Beneath the Fallen City (The Omni Towers, #1)Beneath the Fallen City by Jamie A. Waters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One of the great things about Kindle Unlimited is that I can borrow books that I wouldn’t “normally” read.

BENEATH THE FALLEN CITY is the first book of what looks like a 6 book series (so far). Book 1 is a lot of world building detailing the who’s who and the what’s what.

There are a few weird twists and it seems as if the story line was being plotted as it was written. It changes direction and it never really puts itself back in the same direction again.

I will be adding book 2 to my TBR pile because I am curious enough to how the story continues.

A Dark Sparrow

By India Kells
☆☆☆☆☆
I chose to review book 2 as it is my favorite.
In this book you will find suspense, a little twist and a whole lot of forbidden love. They can be a standalone but best to read the series from the beginning.

Zoe Somersby has taken her job to the limit. Her specialty is translating many languages, under cover. But she does not let on so, she can hear what is needed. To keep her boss safe. Be his ears during his business dealings. Learning everything could come to a halt. After all she did sign a contract stating she could not get involved with the boss personally!

Archer Blackwood is the CEO of his own company, extremely good looking but, he is cold and ruthless. Loaded with money Archer is in control of everything. He has hired Zoe, the one and only woman that has gotten under his skin. He has no time for falling in love?

India Kells is an exciting new author for me. She sucked right into her book.This story was filled with all kinds of angst and twists. Her characters will make you fall in love with them, well some of them anyway. Others will just keep you wondering when they will get to meet Karma. Now that she has a boxed set I can read them again all together. A must if you love re reading the series as I do. So feel free to get started with this series. I will be out here waiting for her next series.

This series is set up very differently than any series I’ve read before.
We follow Aless, and learn of her background and how she gets to where she is when we see her in the Brothers of Camelot series.
This takes many twists and turns and just an absolute wild ride.
Necie Navone knows how to capture a reader and just drop you into the story like you’re living it.

I was immediately sucked into this book and after about 2 chapters, i realized everyone seemed familiar and then it clicked (I was slow on the uptake) and this book follows the little sister from the book Lavender Fields. I don’t feel it is necessary to read that book to read and understand this one, but if you fall in love with this book, You’ll want that book too!
Joan, oh Joan and her potty mouth! She’s spunky and not afraid to tell you like it is and exactly what she expects to happen or how she feels.
Nix, oh what a guy. Poor thing was so lost yet knew something was amiss and until Joan, he had no idea things could or should be different.
My heart broke a couple times but in the end I was happy. Great book!

Higher Elevation Series: Books 1-3 by Renee Regent – Review by Erica Fish

Higher Elevation Series : Books 1-3Higher Elevation Series : Books 1-3 by Renee Regent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Higher Elevation Series consists of three books: Unexplained, Untouched, and Undeniable by Renee Regent. I love this series. It was great being able to read all three books right in a row merely hours in between them. Renee Regent has the ability of grabbing me from the first page until the last page. The only problem is that I could not put this series down until I was done with it. The stories all have this vibe that I could have been right there with the characters. It was a fast read but I caution you to make sure you see every clue or else you may find yourself going back and rereading passages that you missed. Each one of the books has amazing characters that seem to draw the wrong kind of attention to themselves. There are mysteries and action in each book as well. I really like the characters Renee Regent put together. Their interaction is important and believable in their stories. I feel as if I have new book friends that I can see what they are thinking before I read it in the book. Overall I would have to give this series 5+ starts and highly recommend reading this series. The only caution I will give you is to make sure you have enough time to read each book from the first sentence to the last sentence in each book.

This is a well written story that has characters that pop off the pages and into your heart. A story of never dying love, a strong love and second chances. Charlie packs her children up and returns home, hoping to find herself again. Jonathan has been trying to out run his past but when he finds himself back in his hometown, he may just hit his past face on. These two have history, is there a second chance in their future or will lies destroy what’s left? I highly recommend this book.

Hitting The High Note (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 3) by C A King – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Hitting The High Note (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 3)Hitting The High Note by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hitting the High Note is the third book in C.A. King’s fantasy series of Four Horsemen Novels. The series takes place in a modern day setting with a beautiful and elaborate mythology at its heart. There are demigods and demons, fighting over the fate of the world. There are horsemen and there are keys – soulmates tied together by their destiny.
As the title suggests, the protagonist of Hitting the High Note is a musician. Bekka has worked in her family music shop all her life, and it seems likely she will continue running it unless she plucks up the courage to audition for an orchestra. I enjoyed how the music was threaded through the plot – I’ve always been a fan of musical magic! I also appreciated Bekka’s taste for tea – the descriptions of her making and drinking tea made my mouth water!
This series is fantastic – the world is well developed and complex and the mythology links in with various familiar mythologies whilst still being unique and surprising. The characters at the centre of each book continue to appear in the background of subsequent books, so it’s great to catch up on them. And Uriel, the horseman this book focuses on, has already appeared in the past so I was eager to learn more of his character.
I would recommend reading the books in order, to get the full story, although King does a good job of reminding readers of what has happened so you could probably get away with reading this on its own if you’re particularly after a fantasy book about music.
For me, this is another five star book. It’s a great series, and I’m particularly excited about having a music-focused book! I’d recommend the series to fans of mythology and urban fantasy. Looking forward to reading the next one!

The Men of Holmby Hills: Chase (The Holmby Hills Series Book 1) by Allyson Simonian – Review by Ashleigh Whitwell

The Men of Holmby Hills: ChaseThe Men of Holmby Hills: Chase by Allyson Simonian
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Men of Holmby Hills: Chase is the first instalment in an exciting and sexy new series. Set in the world of fame and fortune, this has the making to be your new guilty pleasure. Throw in some arrogant actors and a small-town heroine, you know you’re in for a treat.

If you’re not a fan of insta-love, this might not be the read for you. This book moves fast, but that’s to be expected in such a short read. The author doesn’t skimp on setting the scene though, and I felt like I had a good idea of Chase’s character in the opening chapters. I won’t say that my judgements were completely inaccurate, but there are definitely some surprises along the way. From the blurb we know that Chase isn’t going to be the most endearing of men, but he has his own way of charming the ladies, including myself and his wife, Carrie. We know they’ll be married, but what we don’t know is the circumstances. As for Carrie, I’m torn! You know what you’re getting with Chase, but Carrie’s character left me feeling a little conflicted. When we first meet her, I like her principles and values. But these seemed to get confused and lost as her relationship with Chase heats up and I struggled with some of the contradictions being made. If you can get past this, both Carrie and the story are really quite enjoyable reads, especially if you need a quick fix of drama and passion.

While I’m left with some questions, this was a fun little read that I got through in one evening. I haven’t read too many actor-type romance reads, so it was interesting to delve into an unfamiliar genre. It has definitely caught my interests and I think I’ll be looking out for the next book in this series; I want to see how the characters progress!

Falling For His Badass by Jessika Klide is a fun read that will let your easily get lost within the characters.
This book is the perfect easy read. The characters and fun and interesting. I often found myself amused by them. They were engaging and entertaining.
I liked that the story wasn’t too heavy at all. A lot of books nowadays tend to try and take themselves too seriously. The author however stuck to a fun and easy romance which I think makes this book better. This is the first hook that I have read by this author but it certainly won’t be the last.

Beneath the Fallen City (The Omni Towers Series Book 1) by Jamie A. Waters – Review by Angela Hayes

Beneath the Fallen City (The Omni Towers, #1)Beneath the Fallen City by Jamie A. Waters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Beneath the Fallen City is the first book in The Omni Towers Series by Jamie A. Waters. I really loved this book- the story really drew me in and had me avidly following along on this incredible journey. The story is a mix of dystopian, post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, fantasy, action, and adventure. It’s quite unpredictable and kept me guessing much of the time. With tension, intrigue, danger, secrets, revenge, discoveries, scavengers, traders, and plenty of drama to keep things moving along- I was completely captivated. I fell in love with Jamie A. Water’s stories, imagination, and writing style after reading “How to Kill a Fae”, just recently, and there began my fascination with her work. When I found this book- I knew I NEEDED to read it, so I grabbed a copy and dove right in.
What I discovered between the covers was an incredibly well-woven story full of rich and vibrant details which brought the whole story to life. The characters are cleverly crafted into fully realised interesting and complex individuals, with their own personalities, quirks, and flaws.
The world building is superb- Ms. Water’s skillfully created a complex, vividly detailed, and interesting world in which to stage her story. As I noted previously, her attention to detail is remarkable- giving the story much depth and complexity.
Kayla is a scavenger in this post-apocalyptic world- searching the ruins of cities for anything valuable as her means of survival. We join her on this adventure as her scavenging brings her to the attention of a trader intent on recruiting her- as well as a dangerous man who begins hunting her. She soon discovers that nothing is what it seems- and she is thrust into way more than she bargained for. And so the excitement begins.
This was such a fantastic start to the series- and I can’t wait to continue the adventure!

Thank you, Jamie A. Waters!

Sugar and Spice (Spicetopia #1) by Phoebe Alexander
4 Stars

I’ve read other books by Phoebe Alexander and enjoyed them. This was no different. It was a fun, light read with a lot of steamy romance thrown in. It was amusing to see what goes on behind the scenes of the theme park. Cy Sweet is the youngest son of the Sweets, owners of Sweetopia. They send him undercover to work in the bakery to find out who is leading the revolt that’s in the works. The moment Cy lays eyes on the Red Velvet Queen, he quickly gets sidetracked from his objective. The better he gets to know Jolie, the harder he falls. Working in the theme park is an eye opener for Cy. Can their budding romance survive the secrets that they are both hiding?

To be honest, I really didn’t like Cy. He was arrogant, selfish and full of himself; a total spoiled brat. Thankfully he changed throughout the book where by the end, I was on team Cy, cheering him on. It was a fun read and I’m interested to see what happens in part two.

Dark Feathers by Natalina Reis – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Dark FeathersDark Feathers by Natalina Reis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dark Feathers is a paranormal romance by Natalina Reis. It is a standalone novel, set in the same world as her book Lavender Fields with many characters appearing from the earlier book. It follows Phoenix, a dark angel sent to spy on Joan, a young woman who could see him when he was supposed to be invisible to humans. Joan’s search for a roommate provides the perfect opportunity for Phoenix to keep an eye on her, and (of course) fall in love.
Reis has a well-established system of angels, and Lavender Fields has already given us plenty of insight into the trouble they can get into. Although much of the world-building has been done before, Phoenix being a dark angel gives Reis a chance to explore more of the system and remind or introduce readers to the world from a different perspective.
Joan is a caring, loveable character. Her passion for baking speaks of her commitment to making others happy, and she is quick to note Phoenix’s favourite type of cookies. Phoenix is at times broody and reclusive, and Joan works hard to cheer him up and bring him out of his shell. As someone whose life experience so far has consisted almost entirely of pain and suffering, including sexual abuse, the positive and loving relationship does wonders for Phoenix, who reciprocates by setting out to protect Joan regardless of the cost.
This is an enjoyable page-turner of a book – definitely five stars! I would recommend it to fans of angel romances (and, let’s face it, who doesn’t enjoy a good angel romance?). You can definitely enjoy this book without having read Lavender Fields, but for me it was really great seeing how Caleb and Sky were getting on.

Toxic Blonde: A Johnny Delarosa Thriller (The Delarosa Series Book 2)Toxic Blonde: A Johnny Delarosa Thriller by David Stever
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely adore the Johnny Delarosa Thrillers and Toxic Blonde was no exception to that. This book once again brings it all home with action, adventure, drama, suspense, and a bit of romance to keep things sweet, or spicy depending on how you want to look at it.

In Toxic Blonde we find Johnny Delarosa at it again trying to work a cheating spouse case. These tend to be what he is best at and despite the fact that things tend to get a bit more messy and complicated only seems to fuel his desire for these cases.

“Infidelity pays the bills, so says a wise old private eye.”

I really enjoyed Keira Kane, our main female character and as promised “the most beautiful femme fatale to ever travel the pages of crime fiction.” She definitely makes for some interesting reading. I would have to say she easily makes this one of my favorite sleuth/mystery reads that I have stumbled upon in years. I am so looking forward to seeing what the next Johnny Delarosa book will bring us.

Fisher Men On the X (Book III)Fisher Men On the X by Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! What can I say about The Fisher Men On The X by Rebel Nicks O’Dey? First thing – this book needs to come with a ‘tissues required’ warning. My heart was breaking a few times during this book. I have to say that a much as I loved the 2 previous books in this series, this one really blew it out of the water. It’s definitely my favourite so far.
This book can be read as a standalone but in my opinion I think the reader would get much more from the story by reading books 1 and 2 first. They are excellent books too so that’s an added bonus.
In this book it is the turn of the other twin, Zack to have his story told and it’s one hell of a story. Zack is so broken that you just want to envelop him in a huge hug (although he wouldn’t actually like that). He is just the sweetest guy and my heart broke for him so many times.
Becca is the badass feisty woman that he first met as a young girl when he was captured into the Seh (a religious cult) as a teenager. The book takes us though the stages of Becca growing older and becoming the amazing woman she was destined to be.
Be prepared to be taken on a roller coaster of emotions as you go through this book. It is most definitely a page turner that will have you on the edge of your seat.
I loved that we got to see the other Fisher Men and their significant others and friends and got to catch up with them. We also got a little teaser of what’s to come next and I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the final Fisher Man.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Hitting The High Note (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 3) by C.A. King, 4 stars.

Bekka owns a small music store passed down through her family and must make ends meet in order to keep it running. But her love of music makes her even more determined to make sure this works. Unfortunately, her people skills are not that great. Part of her wishes she could be more like her best friend, Veronica. But Veronica has her own issues — she is constantly searching for the one man to make her dreams come true. She has this pull — this need — to find the right one.

Uriel, one of the four horsemen, loves the wide openness of the country, but a lead takes him into the heart of the city. There he runs into all sorts of things telling him the demons are closer than he believed. Can he stop the demons from getting what they are after? Can he find it himself? What about these two girls who look like twins? Is what his family says true?

It has been quite a while since I have read book two, but I was quickly reminded just how much I like these books and characters. While the suspense part of the series continues, the love story part is quite different from the previous books. Just when you think the story will go one way, it surprises you and does something completely different. I love to be kept guessing in this way. And the fact that our favorite family is back makes it that much better. The author quickly draws you in and I eagerly await the next book to see what is next.

If you are a fan of the paranormal, I highly recommend this book and series.

Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas (The Hills of Texas Book 4) by Kadie Scott – Review by Liz Vrchota

Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas (Hills of Texas #4)Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas by Kadie Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kadie Scott can write one mean cowboy alpha male love story. I have read the previous three books in The Hills of Texas series and enjoyed each one. Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas adds an extra bit of sparkle and magic with the Christmas season as a lovely backdrop to the festivities that take place in the book. For that reason alone I truly enjoyed this book. The bonus was the relationship disaster that is Jennings Hill and Ashley Hughes.

Ashley has struggled with the idea of putting on her supportive and happy face while she attends the wedding of her sister and her EX. Yes her ex is marrying her sister. As if the stress of this isn’t enough she is faced with her ex best friend, Jennings. Jennings has had crazy feelings for Ashley since day one. A falling out has made even a friendship seem impossible to attain. Then the rumor mill gets started and things get even more complicated for these two. Will they be able to get over the past? Can Jennings be the man Ashley has overlooked all those years?

I will say this wasn’t my favorite of the series, I was just left wanting a bit more from the characters and more of a deep and thoughtful backstory. I did enjoy it and it was a nice light and airy rainy day read. I will be back to see what else is in store for the series!

Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas (The Hills of Texas Book 4) by Kadie Scott. I loved this story, I was so excited to read this story because just from the description I was hooked.

Ashley and Jennings will forever have a special place in my heart, they completely hooked me into their world and wouldn’t let go. Each character is complex, relatable and brings something unique to the story. The storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I love a good Christmas type heartwarming story. Five stars all the way! I need me a Christmas cowboy.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Life Series: Box Set: Prequel to Brothers of Camelot by Necie Navone is an absolute must read before you even start thinking about reading the third book in her Brothers of Camelot series!
My Life series gives us the story of the daughter of the Capo of the Italian Canzano Crime family Alessandra Canzano in three parts. It is a story that gets its hooks into the reading from page one and doesn’t let you go. I was so relieved being able to delve into Brothers of Camelot series and finding out what the future had in store for her!
The first book “My Hidden Life” introduces us to Alessandra’s life when she is just six years old and training to be the hair to the family. It is a life that she needs to hide from everyone in her life and there is no way for her to keep her feeling as a normal girl.
The second book “My Tragic Life” turns Alessandra’s life from miserable into tragic! She has no control over anything – it is her father, the Capo that rules over everything! Her life becomes her worst nightmare when a rival Family strikes out against her Family.
The third book “My Free Life” sees Alessandra as the Capo Donna and the power struggle between her and her father. She needs to let the monster hiding inside loose when her closest friends get caught up in a dangerous situation. Also, the time has come for her to escape, time for her to finally be free!
Be forewarned, once you start reading, you cannot put the story down so give yourself a free weekend and I promise it is worth your commitment! It is an explosive series (literally) and once the dust settles, you will be ready to start with Brothers of Camelot!

If you want to get a start on a binge reading of a great series then this set is for you! (I promise you will not finish with just these three, you want to reach for the next one in the series as well and then we will be in the same boat … waiting!)
Dark Sparrows gives us the stories of six men fathered by the same bastard evil man! In the set we meet three of the brothers … they are as different AND as same as they can be! From orphaned and alone to rich and controlled and then a seemingly beach bum with a deadly skill set! Each of the men come with a woman that has her own secrets and pain … I have really hard time to tell you who is my favourite, it changes with each book (meaning with each brother I change my favourite) so who knows what will happen when the next brother enters (well, he already has so I know I will change my favourite order)!
The Box Set includes the story of the underground fighter Aleksei and MC princess Deva (Lost Bastard, Book #1), of the ruthless business man Archer and professional translator/code breaker Zoe (Cold Bastard, Book #2), and of former Delta Force/beach bum Kai and Isabel, a woman hiding way more you can even imagine (Wild Bastard).
You will get drunk on suspense and adventure and romance and will feel such a book hangover when you get to the end!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Men of Holmby Hills: Chase ( The Holmby Hills Series Book One) by Allyson Simonian. This is a new to me author. As soon as I read the blurb, I wanted to read this book. I was looking forward to the book and I did enjoy it, I was just hoping for more. Maybe more knowledge of the characters. It was a very easy and quick read. I am looking forward to reading more by this author.

The Men of Holmby Hills: Chase (The Holmby Hills Series Book 1) by Allyson Simonian – Review by Shannon Fowler

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This story is the first for me by Allyson Simonian. It was a surprisingly fast read, almost too fast as just as I was getting into the characters it was over. However, it was entertaining enough for me to want to read other stories by Simonian. This series definitely has potential.

Chase and Carrie are two very different characters drawn together by love and attraction. What they do with that love is what makes this story interesting.

Looking forward to reading more about this couple and others that follow.
