Sugar & Spice (Spicetopia #1) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Cassi Rogers

Sugar & Spice (Spicetopia #1)Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sugar and Spice by Phoebe Alexander is the first book in the Spicetopia series. This was an excellent, easy to read book and I enjoyed every minute of it from start to finish. The characters were very well developed and lovable. Cy Sweet is going undercover in his family’s children theme park to get the inside scoop on a situation that the Sweets are hoping to prevent from progressing. He is thrown off balance by the beautiful, single mom, Jolie Cox dressed to the T in the Red Velvet Queen costume. The two have a great and sparkling connection although there are many untold truths that lie between them. I loved reading about both Cy and Jolie’s life and watching their personalities come into the light. This is a brilliant book that contains an entertaining plot. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in the series.

The Men of Holmby Hills: Chase, is the first book in The Holmby Hills series by Allyson Simonian it was also my first read by this author. It is a short story- and made for a quick and easy read. This was a good story it had some drama, a little mystery and some secrets. The characters are well written, and the plot was amazing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the stories in this set. The books are based on brothers who all share a father that doesnt want to know them.

Each brother grew up on his own with their own story of hurt and betrayal making them the men they are today.

Its the love of a good woman and the desire to stop their father from harming the ones they love that brings the brothers together.

Each book can be read as a standalone and are full of romance and adventure

Beneath the Fallen City by Jamie A. Waters is the first book in the Omni Towers series. This is an interesting and imaginative book to read.
I have to say that this book surprised me. I expected it to be pretty similar to others that I have read like it however the story wasn’t what I expected. It started down one path and the the author seemed to completely change direction with it, making it wholly unpredictable.
The characters were fun to read about as well. The interactions between them were always varied. I think this is a great start so far to the series and I can’t wait to read more!

Imprisoned Online: Gaming the System (A LitRPG Adventure Book 1) P.A. Wikoff. While not in my normal wheelhouse of reading I did find this an interesting read. It’s got plenty of adventure and action. It’s a unique story and I liked how different it is to the story world. Characters are complex and well developed. Storyline had a way of drawing me in and I soon found myself not being able to put it down. It’s a well written storyline and I liked the pace. I was pleasantly surprised by the way I like it, not because the author did anything wrong just because it’s not something I’d normally pick up but I’m definitely glad I game it a try and think you should to. I’m giving this story a four star review and recommend it.

Chicken Scratch (The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series Book 1) by Becki Willis – Review by Madison Degraffenreid

Chicken Scratch (The Sisters, Texas #1)Chicken Scratch by Becki Willis

Chicken Scratch (The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series Book 1) by Becki Willis

5-Stars

Chicken Scratch (The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series Book 1) by Becki Willis was an excellent mystery suspense novel. It was immediately addicting with the opening chapter of main character Madison finding a body in a chicken house. I can imagine how terrible the smell was and felt the author did an awesome job depicting the scene. Over all the author did excellent with the various detail involved in the setting making it easy for readers to visualize as they read. I loved that it is based in Texas and that I also share a first name with one of the main characters. Brash, Madi, and all other characters were developed and depicted well. This was such an excellent read. I highly recommend it!

The Men of Holmby Hills: Chase (The Holmby Hills Series Book 1) by Allyson Simonian was quick romantic read. I would rate this book a four out of five stars. I loved Carrie’s point of view, it was relevant and added to the plot. Carrie was a beautiful romantic character and I instantly loved her. Chase was arrogant, self centered, and selfish. Chase was beautifully written, I instantly felt like he was not worthy.

Fisher Men On the X (Book III)Fisher Men On the X by Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

THE FISHER MEN ON THE X is book 3 in the series and is listed as a stand-alone. I really recommend reading the first two books in the series before this one. I read books 1 and 2 a bit ago and it took me until about 50% through to not feel unsettled and like I was only seeing parts of the story. Don’t get me wrong, the story in Book 3 is fantastic, it was just all the other characters and back stories that kept me on my toes. It is told in a dual POV with minimum flashbacks to set the stage. The story moves at a pretty good pace and I love that the roles are reversed and supported as much as if they were gender normative.

This is Zach Fisher’s story and as I was reading, it felt like I’d read his character before. Something about the way he tattoos with his tongue out. Well of course I’d read this before because his twin was in Book 1 and describes the motion. THAT’S I mean about how it was a little tough to piece together for a while.

The healing that takes place in this story is breathtaking. The respect given to the entire process. These are my favorite quotes in the story:

“There is value in every person who graces your life, even if it’s for the briefest of moments.”
“I survived before I could live, so this is nothing.”

This book was so movingly beautiful in certain scenes – I cried; Other times I chuckled.

Xander was book 1
Connor was book 2
Zach was book 3
Morgan is going to be book 4

I will go back and at least peruse the first 3 before I pick up book 4.

Very enjoyable read and one I would recommend to others.

The Men of Holmby HIlls: Chase was a good 4 star read and book one in The Holmby Hills series. This is a quick read about Chase and Carrie.

Chase is a popular actor and is known as a playboy. While on set he meets Carrie and he is drawn in by her. Carrie is a teacher and is surprised when Chase asks her out.. One date turns into more and things move forward very well for them.

They end of getting married, eventually things start to feel a little off between them. Carrie is starting to feel like marriage may have been a mistake. This isn’t her world.

Things take a big twist when some secrets are revealed. Will Chase and Carrie be able to get past their issues and have a HEA?

We get dual POV which I enjoy. All of the secondary characters were great. I was happy with how things ended and I can’t wait to read more from this series.

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 (The Holmby Hills Series Book 1) by Allyson Simonian is a contemporary romance story with very short chapters making it a quick read. But I suspect because of this we were not given enough time to find the history behind these characters and their world. Whilst I liked the story, it did not grab me, and I felt the characters were not fully realised. It was hard to relate to and invest myself in the characters. The story frustrated me because the lead male was a self-absorbed womanising ahole. I believe the story would be great if it were longer in its telling and more details were given making the characters and their world more relatable.

Chase is an actor; whose childish and wanton ways threaten his job and off puts the people around him. When a new girl turns up, he finds he can’t stop thinking about her. Things move fast, he marries her but his ahole ways and lies and secrets threaten their very foundation. I really, really wanted to smack some sense into him.

Carrie is a very sweet woman who can’t believe this sexy man has any interest in her, one she has had a crush on since her teenage years. One minute she has run away from one relationship only to jump in to another one. Unfortunately, her new life is nothing like she envisioned, and all hell breaks loose.

It will be interesting to what happens in future books.

Run from Love: A Bowser Belles Sweet Contemporary Romance by Teddy Cat Hester is a fun and sweet romantic story that is easy to read. I really enjoyed Teddy Cat’s writing and fell in love with the characters, who are fully realised with real problems. I loved the relationship with the main characters, and they had me laughing at their banter and wanting to pull my hair out at the same time.

Scarlet has a strict 6-month deadline to her relationships, it’s better to cut and run than form attachments. Her life is her babies Daffy and Dilly and a bit of fun in between.

Nick has fallen for a certain lady and is determined to outlast the 6-month rule. But he knows he needs to tread carefully with the R word or lose her forever.

Teddy Cat has done a wonderful and fun story that is worth the read. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

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

“Humans have always required knowledge.”

CONFESSION: This author is an auto one-click for me because I enjoy all of her books. I read these books based on the author’s name alone.

Glad I got that out of the way…

HITTING THE HIGH NOTE is Book 3 of the Four Horsemen Series and it is my very strong recommendation that you read this series in order. This story is Uriel’s and he may be my favorite sibling.

I do not want to give anything away in this story so I will continue to be vague, just know that there was an ad that said… “Demons and followers seeking the key to the gates of hell…” I mean, how can a story not be a 5 star read with THOSE words written into a paragraph.

I absolutely recommend this story, this series and this author.

5 Stars

This author has snuck up on me and quickly become a favorite…I loved this book!! Might be my favorite of all three but not by much because they were all amazing.

It took me a bit when i started to shake off the confusion and figure out what was going on but once I did I was caught, hook, line, and sinker. Could not put it down and already want to go back and read them all again.

It says this can be read as a standalone…Trust me when I say you do not want to do that. All 3 of these need to be read in order to get the full and complete picture …These characters are in all of them and Nonna is still my absolute favorite of the entire bunch.

This one hit ALL the feels, I laughed, I got seriously angry, I was saddened many times and it may sound funny but I felt proud of our little Becca, what she did with her life was amazing and I had to laugh at how clueless she was on so many things yet held the strength and bravery of many men. I straight up fell in love with Zach, and learning of the history of these two characters made this story that much better. I love the family aspect of these books and when the Fisher Men get together it is LOL funny.

I can not recommend this book along with the first 2 books highly enough…One Click them all…I can not wait for the next in this series and I hope it’s not the end, there has to be a way to continue the Fisher Men story!

Loved It!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hitting the Hight Note is Book #3 in The Four Horseman Novel series. I definitely think these books should be read in order for the story to really flow and to get a better understanding of the Horseman. This book is just as captivating as the others, I was hooked from the first page with the brilliant writing style C.A King brings us, she writes with so much description that you can’t help but visualise the whole read, it helps create the illusion in your mind that you are really there within the story yourself.
This book isn’t short on twists and turns, it definitely leaves you wondering what could happen next and leaves you on the edge of your seat. This book has action, adventure & danger and epic characters that you can’t help but love to follow their journey.

You will never be disappointed when reading a book from C.A King you will become immersed in her worlds she creates and makes you never want to leave. I can’t wait to see what is brought next to this series, I’ll eagerly be awaiting more!

A Cowboy Under the MistletoeA Cowboy Under the Mistletoe by Susan Fisher Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I love holiday stories- and this book is packed with six stories celebrating all the wonderful qualities about this time of the year. Six fantastic authors have collaborated, to bring us a holiday collection full of romance- and COWBOYS! What a great mix!
This anthology brings together some wonderfully talented storytellers, who all have different styles and approaches to writing- each creating their own unique and individual story using the same theme to inspire them all- the inspiration being, Cowboys and Christmas.
Cowboy Under the Mistletoe is such a great read. I can honestly say that all the stories were really well written and very entertaining, and there were multiple favourites for me.
I have read a few of these author’s work before and have loved their books- Melisa Keir, D’Ann Lindun, and Leslie Garcia. But the other authors were new-to-me, so I really enjoyed exploring their work and adding them to my TBR. All the stories are really great- entirely captivating with wonderful plots, well developed characters, and infused with all those great Christmas ‘feels’.

The Anthology contains:

-A Cowboy For Christmas By: Susan Fisher Davis
-The Cowboy’s Christmas Hand By: Leslie Garcia
-Tempting the Cowboy By: Melissa Keir
-A Different Kind Of Christmas By: Debbie Desmarteau
-Saving a Cowboy’s Christmas By: Stephanie Bergot
-Noah’s Christmas Faith By: D’Ann Lindun

The stories cover a wide range of topics and elements- including drama, intrigue, heartache, emotion, second chances, new beginnings, forgiveness, love, loss, guilt, romance, tenderness, action, redemption, family, friendship, temptation, relationships, obstacles, hope, faith, friends to lovers, finding love unexpectedly, and plenty of surprises.
This is a book that has something to please everyone- especially for those who love holiday romances mixed with some sexy cowboys.
I really recommend this Anthology! It is worth every cent of the purchase price- six books in one…. Now that’s what I call a fantastic deal!
Happy Reading!

Thank you to all the contributing authors!

Drawing Strength from Words by C.A. King a five-star read that turns myths on their heads. This is number two in the Four Horseman novels series and they go from strength to strength, I read number one a while ago and then read number two and three in very quick succession and now I just need number four. Out of the three I have read so far number two is my current favourite as it just takes the whole story and adds something extra to it, this whole series has been full of twists and turns and has kept me in the edge of my seat all the way though, but this one just had the extra layer. Gabriel what a character, she really does pull I out of the box, ad when you add Ryder to the mix it just creates an explosive story that will suck you in, spitting you out the other side changed.

As always, this author makes you see the story portrayed in front of you, the descriptions are so detailed its like the story comes alive as you read it. The story between Bekka and Uriel will keep you on tenterhook’s, in fact the whole story does that but between them they do keep this story great.

OMG! Could this series get any better!!! Rebel Nicks O’Dey keeps upping the anti with each instalment and the details just seem to get more intriguing and more riveting! After reading the first two books, and knowing the characters- I wasn’t sure how Ms. Nicks O’Dey would pull this story off. But she definitely did- with a bang! I am so hooked on her stories- I have developed a serious addiction that I am in no hurry to cure. I can’t believe I waited so long before finally diving into her books. Lesson learned, that’s for sure!!!
The Fisher Men On the X is the third fantastic instalment in the Fisher Men Series by Rebel Nicks O’Dey. The story has been woven with plenty of suspense, a little mystery, steamy scenes, action, adventure, surprising developments, twists, secrets, drama, intrigue, tension, danger, emotion, and romance.
As I have said before, I love how this story/series focuses on an individual brother/couple- but also how there is a bridging story that plays out at the same time. There are so many intricate and interconnected details woven through the storyline- I can really appreciate how much attention to detail, planning, thought, heart, and soul that Ms. Nicks O’Dey has put into her work. Nothing has been left to chance- even the smallest detail seems to play a vital role in the course of the storyline.
In this book Zack Fisher meets his match, and secrets are revealed- as we follow along on this intense ride. Becca had escaped a cult where she was to be sold as a child bride. She’s now stronger, smarter, and tougher than the frightened girls she was. She’s a deadly, government-trained assassin determined to go through with her plan. What has she got planned? What part does Zack play in it all? Where do the Fisher Men fit into the story? Has she accounted for life, and love? You really should read the story and discover all the intriguing developments for yourself. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
I can not wait to continue this series! Bring on Book Four!!!
Awesome job!

Thank you, Rebel Nicks O’Dey!

The Fisher Men X My Heart (Fisher Men Book I) by Rebel Nicks O’Dey – Review by Angela Hayes

The Fisher Men X My HeartThe Fisher Men X My Heart by Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

The Fisher Men X My Heart is the first book in the Fisher Men Series by Rebel Nicks O’Dey. This is my first read from Ms. Nicks O’Dey, and I must confess that I really wasn’t sure I would like this book- let alone love it. I had seen it advertised a few times, but hadn’t jumped to one-click it, as I had sooooo many books on my TBR pile. But after seeing some great reviews- my curiosity was piqued, and I wanted to find out what I had been missing. So, here I am, late to the party- and kicking myself that I didn’t get on board this great series when I first saw it. I have been missing out by not having this author and her sublime books in my life much sooner than now. Because this book, series, and author- are truly fantastic!!! I am so impressed by what an incredibly talented storyteller Rebel Nicks O’Dey has proved herself to be. This book/series is one of my favourite reads for the year, for sure.
This story has so much going on in it, in a great way. From secrets, to suspense, a little mystery, plenty of steam, chemistry, drama, intrigue, tension, danger, emotion, romance, and so much more. I was pulled into the story from the very beginning and couldn’t tear myself away. I read the book in one sitting because I found it difficult to put down, even for a minute. I was so immersed in the story- so invested in the characters and the outcome of the story- that I really NEEDED to know how the story played out- so I devoured the book over the course of the afternoon/evening and loved every minute. I loved the storyline, characters, and Ms. Nicks O’Dey’s writing style so much that I read the first 3 books back-to-back! And WOW- colour me impressed! I am in love with the story- and completely enthralled by the wonderful characters. I wanted to be part of the group, hang out and banter with them, and become a part of their lives. This is how real and believable these characters and their story are- they made me want to be part of their ‘world’. And holy hotness- every single one of the Fisher Men have now joined my book boyfriend harem!!!
When Samantha Reynolds moved next door to the Fisher family as a young teenager, she didn’t fully appreciate (at the time) how important the brothers would become to her, how much she would need and appreciate each and every one. She couldn’t possible predict the traumatic event that would cement their relationship- where the Fisher Men make a pact to protect her- a pact of friendship that stood the test of time. Each one playing their part. Morgan, Connor, Xander, and Zack give her the strength to move forward and live her life. But there was always one brother who was imbedded into her heart much deeper than the rest. Now she’s an adult, just finished college- and headed back to their hometown, determined to claim her man. Has she waited too long? Will he feel the same way? What happens when pacts are tested, deals are made, and secrets are revealed? Will she win her man- or lose them all? Throw in some danger, and I’m on the edge of my seat devouring every word- caught up in the developments. I really recommend reading this fantastic story to find out all the intriguing details for yourself. Don’t be like me and turn up late to this incredible ‘party’- you’ll regret not doing it sooner!
The story is funny- with witty touches throughout the story. The banter, quips and antics had me smiling, and then laughing out loud. This helped balance the intense, emotional parts of the story which had me holding my breath, or really tugged at my heartstrings. The camaraderie between the brothers, and between them, Sam, their friends, and family, was captured so well. It was what made me want to be part of their ‘group’.
I could go on and on about this book- but I still wouldn’t be able to do it the justice it deserves. It’s one of those books you really should read yourself to find out how fantastic it really is. Rebel Nicks O’Dey has earned herself a place at my ‘favourite author’ table- and I will most definitely be devouring the rest of the series- as well as exploring every other book/series in her catalogue of work.
Brilliant!

Thank you, Rebel Nicks O’Dey!
