Hidden Obsession (An Alliance Agency Novel Book 2) by Maddie Wade & India Kells – Review by Jana Teppih

Hidden Obsession (An Alliance Agency Novel #2)Hidden Obsession by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hidden Obsession is the second book in India Kells and Maddie Wade’s An Alliance Agency series. It is another action packed romance from the duo that sets you at the edge of your seat from Chapter 1! I love their writing and any time they release something new, I am there with bells on!
Hidden Obsession gives us a violet haired office manager Cleo Darwin who is the embodiment of control and organization, and Mason Bentley who is the only one of the Agency staff that does all his paperwork on time and has a rigid control of his life but that is not the only thing that makes Cleo’s heart beat a bit faster when he is around.
When Cleo is attacked and targeted, it is Mason who steps in and the rest is history as we say! We have loads of action, loads of danger and heat, a sinister antagonist and a family of co-workers that are there for each other whenever you need! I loved that we met the guys from the prequel and the first book again and I cannot wait for the next one in the series!

Rule The Larussio Legacy (#1)Rule The Larussio Legacy by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am so excited for this series! And even though this is book one, I highly recommend you read the Torzial Affair series first as this is actually a continuation of that series. In this book we meet the Larussio’s – the family Katarina didn’t know she had until recently. Someone has attempted to murder her parents and her father has named her and her cousin Gio, whom she has never met, as beneficiaries of his living will. They are in charge of seeing her father’s dreams for the family come to fruition.

In finding this out, Gio and his great-uncle travel to New York to meet Katarina and find out if she’s for real or a fake out to get the family’s money. On the flight over, Gio meets Serena and can’t get over the instant attraction he has to her. The thing is, even though the attraction is mutual and HOT, she is terrified of The Family and wants nothing to do with Gio.

As is typical with Mari’s books, this one is full of suspense, twists and turns, romance, sexiness, and lots of action! I loved this book and can’t wait to see where this series takes us next!

Renegade (The Mercenaries #1) by Raven White – Review by Jenni Bishop

Renegade (The Mercenaries #1)Renegade by Raven White
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Renegade (The Mercenaries Series Book 1) by Raven White suspense romance story that is a quick and easy read. I enjoyed this story but felt it could have been a little more rounded out in some areas. The characters are your typical alpha ex-military men, brothers in arms who will do anything for each other. I mean who doesn’t love to read about those types of men.

Eliza has always loved music, but she wakes in hospital not knowing what happened. Her brother decides he needs help to keep her safe. She is one sassy woman who doesn’t want help but is unable to make them see her point of view.

Renegade drops everything he is doing to help one of his brothers. His mission is to protect the beautiful woman someone tried to kill. But who will protect him from himself? Renegade soon gets much more than he bargained for.

If you enjoy sassy woman and military alphaness then grab a copy. It will entertain you for an afternoon escape.

Suddenly, her hot neighbor knocks on the door and invites her over to his house for a little get together. She wants to decline because it is a last minute invite but at least he has working heat.
The last person she expects to see over at Kirks house is a guy she had spent a night with not to long ago. She tries hiding from him but somehow he found her and was harassing her about getting together again. Can this New Year’s Eve get any worse? Sure it can but it can also get a lot better.

This novel was fast paced and easy to read. It can be read as a standalone from the series. I loved the development of the main characters and how well they fit together. The antagonist was also developed well and was very sinister. I had no problem breezing through this novel. It was a great action packed read.

Addie: To Wager on Her Future is the fifth book in the Other Pens, Mansfield Park series by Leenie Brown. Leenie Brown has an amazing eye for detail. Her story lays everything out so that you can see everything in your mind’s eye. The plot line has a lot of depth to it. One thing that I enjoyed, is that the female character is the heroine. Addie has a family that she loves and has thrust upon her. Between her father on his deathbed and her brother with his little gambling problem has made Addie lead the family and take care of business. Will Addie be able to take charge like her father did for the family? Will her brother be too much to handle? You will have to read the story to find out the answers to these questions.

A Song to Remember by Carrie Pulkinen is a Crescent City Wolf Pack novella. It can be read as a stand-alone although I personally like the build up of reading the other books first.
I loved how fast this book was. It felt like it was so intense as so much was packed into it with great detail. However it also never felt rushed and didn’t ever feel like anything was missing. The characters were brilliant. They had such a strong connection that you could feel on each page.
This author has created a fantastic series and one that I enjoy more and more with each book. I would highly recommend everyone read this series.

The story Renegade (The Mercenaries Series Book 1) by Raven White is a wonderful book to read. I loved the storyline and the characters. It is a book that has both suspense and romance. I really loved the character of Eliza McKay. She is strong, independent, intelligent, and a wonderful singer. She was been attacked and her brother, Sparrow, has called on the services of Sam “Renegade” McGill to keep her safe. Renegade is a man that takes his job seriously and has a comradery with those he works with. He also finds himself very attracted to Eliza. He, however, knows that she is off-limits. Eliza also feels the attraction to Renegade. Will they act on their attraction for each other? Will the one that attacked Eliza be caught? What does the future hold for Eliza and Renegade? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has romantic moments that make the temperature in the room rise. The story also had me wondering what was going to happen next and if the attacker was going to be caught. I also enjoyed reading about Sparrow. He is protective of Eliza and will do anything to keep her safe. This is the first book in a series, and I can’t wait to read the next story. Don’t miss out on a book that you won’t want to put down until you have finished the last page. I highly recommend reading it.

This is yet again another great read! I have read a few books from this author and I am never disappointed. I really like the author’s writing style and storylines. I love how she entwines a bit of drama into the romance. I am a huge paranormal romance fan and I love me some werewolf. This book was just a gripping read.

The storyline between Shane and Bekah is actually really sweet. I like how the characters really come to life as you read. I like how the author leads the reader on a journey. The way a bit of the past is entwined into the book and the characters even being paranormal based are realistic. I could really relate to Bekah and her insecurities when it came to her judgement. I really like how the author brings them together. The book was a great read and I will be reading more from this author in the future.

Naughty & Nice by Phoebe Alexander a five-star read that you will pray never ends. This is number four is the Spicetopia series, they can be read as stand-alone, but I have read and enjoyed them as a series and this one blew my socks off. Micah Greene what a man, even if he is one of the cloth variety, not someone I expected to see popping up in the Spicetopia world, but I am so glad he does as he is a character I am so glad to see, he just warmed parts of me that have been cold for a very long time. I think he warmed parts of a certain wedding planner as well, but well the cloth thing can be an issue. This whole story just built everything up and gave us a great story, one I was sorry to see end.

Testament of Feats: Book of Judgement by K.H. Jones a four-star read that will take you away. This is my first read by this author, but it wont be the last, as the world building is very well done, especially as I think this is a debut novel, normally I am not a fan of such a detailed story on a debut as they either go way to overboard or just miss huge gaps but this just seemed to get it in that sweet spot, that makes very easy reading. This is a unique story that shows great promise of a great series to come. Scream will captivate you and lead you on an amazing journey, they will surprise you and keep you hooked all the way through, its dark and mysterious and will just keep you reading. There are a couple of bits that drifted hence why it’s a four, and not a five, but I am sure that the series will just get better and better.

This is number two in An Alliance Agency series and this series goes from strength to strength, this really is great story telling from these two. This kicks off with action and drama from the very first page, Cleo Darwin and Mason Bentley bring chemistry to the page that just leaps from it. Cleo is a great character, and I was rooting for her from the start, while with Mason, I don’t know it took me a little while to warm to, but do you know what when he got into his stride I couldn’t get enough of him, that protective show just made it all for me. Once you pick this up you won’t want to put it down, this series is great.

This is an amazing adventure/ fantasy story. I found it a little hard to get into at the beginning because of all the characters and the places and how each clan links to the next but i am very glad i stuck with it.

The book is filled with adventure, from sword fights, to spiritual Bards. Every clan has its own fighters and they all have a history which isnt always good.

One ranger sets out to change all that. To right the wrongs that have been commited by his ancestors and to save his clans way of life.
But there are more forces at work than the ones he can see and knows about.

This book might seem naughty, but it’s more about openness and acceptance. There’s finally a wedding planned; but a minister at an adult theme park? Micah’s background allows him to see things differently than the church where he serves as a counselling minister. Natalie has the hots for Micah from the very first sight, but she needs to fight her attraction, so she doesn’t ruin the wedding. Everyone is trying to keep the dreadful parents of the groom from destroying the whole event. This book has a lot of twists and naughtiness, along with some romance and faith. In the end they all learn some important lessons and open their hearts. It’s a really good story with just enough spice added to the life lessons to make it a great read.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price by C. L. Schneider – Review by Maura Harper

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MAGIC-PRICE is Book 1 in “THE CROWN OF STONES” series and is an epic fantasy. It is one of those tales that has a moral built into the story and it could actually be applied to some of events in currently present in the world. Good vs Evil – Action vs Reaction – Life vs Death.

Addiction [əˈdikSH(ə)n] NOUN: the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity. One wouldn’t think addiction to magic could be real, but clearly the main protagonist is addicted to his gift. The compulsive transfer from one addiction to another without treating the underlying cause is the theme to this book.

There are many characters that we are introduced to. This is a story that is told from the MCs POV and each character he introduces us to is explained so as to prevent any confusion. The story seems well plotted and has a very strong beginning, middle and end. It’s a story that keeps the reader engaged by moving from one situation to another in a well defined time frame, always moving the story forward.

This is not a story I read in one sitting. It is a little different from the books I normally pick up and I’m glad I had an opportunity to read this one.

I look forward to the next installments of this epic trilogy.

Yes Yes Yes! I feel like I have been waiting ages to dive into another Manda Mellett read and when I got my hands on this read I didn’t want it to end! She has done it again and this time with a spin-off from the Satan’s Devils MC bringing us the Second generation! This book was brilliant from start to finish! While these books are part of a series they can be read as a stand-alone but believe me you won’t want to read them separately you will definitely regret not reading them all. This book has romance, passion, action, adventure & suspense, and it really will hold you captive and engaged right until the very end! It will have you smiling, have you mad and angry but more than not it will have you rooting for characters you have come to love!

I loved everything about this read. It brings you along on Amy’s journey as she faces many things. This book does include some trigger content for our characters but Manda Mellett always writes them in a respectful way. This book has a lot of emotions for us as the reader but also the journey Amy takes bring emotions with it.

I absolutely loved her relationship and connection to Drew a.k.a Wizard throughout the whole read, you could tell what they had was real even from when they were younger, they really were both made for each other and to see that relationship have its ups and downs was hard you just wished and hoped they would get a HEA.

I loved revisiting & reading about all the other characters from previous books, it tied it all together perfectly. Another thing I loved about this read was that it was written in dual POV’s I really seem to connect more with the story and the characters as it gives me a better insight into the characters an what they are really thinking and feeling! But ultimately it makes me love them more! I cant wait to see what else comes from this series and this author you will never be disappointed when reading a book by Manda Mellett!

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I should probably start off with the disclaimer that I normally shy away from these books. Likely it is for me to simply not read a book with so much sci-fi infliction on the blurb and cover. However, I have read other novels by CL Schneider (her Nite Fire series) and I thoroughly enjoyed each of the books by her. I decided to stop being so dismissive and give these novels that belong to the The Crown of Stones series a chance. I am happy that I did.

Schneider has a huge knack for writing a vivid and realistic scene with thoughts and elements that you would not ever expect to be realistic. I often feel as if I have hopped into her books and The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price, was no different. The characters are full of life and so fun to follow, often relatable. I love the thought and attention to detail that is super evident throughout. These books are so much more than the sci-fi drama I could ever label it as. I feel as if you get a bit of everything in these stories.

In this book we find Ian a man that has been living in literal fear for his life and freedom. He is terrified to use his magic and that makes life extremely complicated for him. When new threats are brought forth he is forced to figure out how to use his magic and find his balance. I loved the adventure Ian went on and I am so looking forward to seeing what will happen next in book two!

I fell in love with the cover first of Courage of Us by Brooke May. I have read a few other novels of hers so I knew it would be something I would enjoy and it was a no-brainer to one-click for me this one. I am so happy to say that the book lived up to its cover and so much more.

I loved the characters Patience and Duke. Now, at moments I didn’t really care for Duke which will all make sense when you read it for yourself, but this guy felt like he got off the hook a tad too easy for my liking. That is until we find out the secrets haunting Patience’s past can be just as big a factor.

Patience and Duke were each other’s everything from the moment they met as infants. Unfortunately, life had other plans when they grew up. Patience is stuck behind and finds herself in a terrible marriage. Meanwhile Duke takes leave with the Marines and basically abandons Patience. Now the two have a chance to meet back up and put the past to bed. Will they be able to do so and build the happily ever after they both so deserve? This is one you do not want to miss and I am so excited to find out there will be more books to come! I can’t wait to see what will happen next!

Running In Snow, A Holiday NovellaRunning In Snow, A Holiday Novella by Renee Regent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is getting to devour sweet and soul-warming novellas that center around the magic of the season. Running In Snow: A Holiday Novella, is just that. Two heart and soul warming short stories that bring to life the promise of hope. I loved that these books were taken from the experiences of the author and spun into the stories. It made them seem just a little bit more magical.

Noelle’s Promise:
This lovely novella brings us the story of Noelle. Noelle has a history of bad Christmas memories and is determined to avoid celebrating the holiday forever. Things soon start to look like that is not going to be an option since she has developed a relationship with her boyfriend Logan. Him and his family convince her to give it one more shot. Nothing of course comes easy and the past begins to rear its ugly head. Will Noelle run and avoid the feelings that come to head or will she face the past long enough to bury it and start anew? This was a sweet and short novella, almost making me want a tad more. I think a lot of that has to do with how much I enjoyed Noelle’s character. I feel like she has even more story in her, or just maybe one with a tad more detail, but for the holiday novella idea this covers everything.

Eve’s Hope:
Eve of course is the main gal for this novella. She was a bit more light-hearted of a read. Even doesn’t enjoy New Year’s Eve, in fact she thinks the whole thing is just jinxed for her and she does everything in her power to keep herself in a safe and neutral space for this one evening. Of course we need a sweet twist to make that interesting so things don’t quite go as Eve had hoped they would. Will she be able to embrace the ideas of NYE and start new memories that will be worth celebrating? I think this one has to be my favorite of the two and again I would have to say I would love more of Eve as well.

Burning Greed (DI Tanya Miller Investigates Book 2) by Diane M Dickson – Review by Erica Fish

Burning Greed (DI Tanya Miller investigates Book 2)Burning Greed by Diane M. Dickson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Burning Greed by Diane M Dickson is my first book by this author. I found her writing style to be flowing and suspenseful. She kept me on the edge of my seat. DI Miller character drew me into the story. I felt like I was with her throughout the investigations. DI Miller is torn between her job as a fire investigation and being an aunt. What an impossible decision to make? Will DI Miller’s team be able to investigate the murder? Will DI Miller locate her niece before anything happens to her? Will there be dirt coming out of the investigations that DI Miller cannot hide? I highly recommend this story. I know I am going to read the other stories written by Diane M Dickson.
