My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ava is a hard-working lawyer forced to take a vacation when one of the partners in the law firm she works at determines that she needs a break away from the office to clear her head after a recent incident during a deposition. To most people, a week on the island of Maui would be exciting and relaxing. After 3 days of trying to relax, unplug, and enjoy the beautiful island, Ava finds herself ready to get back to work. What starts out as a trek to find a laptop so she can check her emails sets into motion a series of events that will change Ava’s world forever.

Ford enjoys his morning surfing, teaching music to children on the island, and sipping on some nice tequila in the evenings. Finding Ava on the side of the road as she searches for cell service so she can navigate herself to the nearest electronics store is not usually part of his day. After some harmless flirting, Ava and Ford embark on a vacation romance that is super hot. Agreeing not to talk about their real lives, Hula Girl and Surfer Boy enjoy each other’s company in the bedroom and on the town until Ava must return back to Los Angeles. However, what happens in Hawaii doesn’t necessarily stay in Hawaii.

What happens when they see each other again and their real lives are more intertwined than ever? Ford is required to return to Los Angeles to wrap up business with his father and crosses paths with Ava. This chance meeting leads to a story of lies, love, and heartbreak that I found myself fully immersed in. Now Ford is the one on the timeline as he tries to prove to Ava that what they had in Hawaii is real while Ava is set on believing she can’t have love and the career she has worked so hard for. I found myself rooting for them along the way, hoping they would find their happy ending. This story was a wonderful reminder that sometimes the biggest obstacles to happiness is our own mind. A great read by an author that is new-to-me but one I will definitely be checking out in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a box set that has four great romance stories by a great author. The couples in these books find hot, steamy romance at a theme park like no other and only for adults. The characters bring the stories to life and their chemistry is off the charts. They are engaging stories that will heat up any night. I highly recommend reading about these couples and their journies on finding love.

Naughty & Nice by Phoebe Alexander
4 Stars!!!!

Amazing! Yet again another fabulous book in this series. I have to say that this series is so unique. Who knew that an adult theme park could bring so many couples together! I just find this author’s series so unique and refreshing. This author brings the whole adult theme to the reader in such a great way that even if it’s not your cup of tea you find you just cannot put the book down and want
to see how it all comes together.

I really found Natalie and Micah’s story to be quite sweet. I found that the author dealt with all the subject in such a great way that this book will appeal to so many. I like how the story isn’t predictable and how there is just enough drama around the romance to keep the reader’s attention.
I really found myself drawn into the story and felt as though I was there in the thick of it watching the characters come to life before my eyes. The author has such a great writing style that one cannot help but get hooked. I definitely will be reading more from this author in the future and hope that there are more books to this series.

Amy's Santa (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #1)Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

AMY’S SANTA is book one of the new series “Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation”. it is my opinion that while this can be read as a stand-alone, it is important to read the preceding series’ in order because it relies heavily on relationships we’ve met in the previous series. I have read almost all of the books and had to pause a few times to remember different circumstances that were being referred to.

The story is well told and while it does include some extremely graphic scenes, they were well done and not overly gory. It is a classic MC romance with a bit of a twist that was super intriguing to read.

Amy and Drew are kids who are kind of products of their upbringing but each has made independent decisions on how they want to live their lives. Their story takes place 20 years from the prologue and I appreciated the maturity of each character. We get to revisit with characters we met in previous series and see how the club is growing and changing.

I hope that Dr. Hottie gets his own story because I found him very intriguing and would like to know his story.

Forbidden Love: Written by Lisa Jones Gentry as Told by Their Son Joe SteeleForbidden Love: Written by Lisa Jones Gentry as Told by Their Son Joe Steele by Lisa Jones Gentry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As racism and bigotry rears its ugly head in America again, I am reminded that “acceptance” is a relatively new phenomenon when you look at the timeline of the country.

FORBIDDEN LOVE is the true story of a nun and a priest, told in past and present tense. This is a book that was told to the author by the man who was a product of the FORBIDDEN LOVE. This is a fascinating story and I found myself searching online for more information.

This is an intricate story that is riveting and one that I will just say it is absolutely worth reading and researching a little more.

Spicetopia Boxed Set (Books 1-4) by Phoebe Alexander

5 out of 5 stars

Spicetopia boxed set is book 1-4 written by phoebe Alexander. I really enjoyed reading these stories. The characters are well written with strong personalities. The plots where great.

Book 1 Sugar & Spice: Cyrus Sweet is the youngest son of the owners of a kid’s theme park called Sweetopia. To force him to pull his weight in the company, Cyrus is made to go undercover to find the employee who is causing an uprising. But he finds The Red Velvet Queen and she opens his eyes to the troubles in Sweetopia will he choose his family, or will he do right by the employees of Sweetopia?
The Red Velvet Queen is really Jolie Cox and she a single mom who relentlessly struggles to make a living for herself and her sons.
They both met when they disguise what will happen when Jolie finds out who Marcus aka Cyrus is? Will she walk away with-out listening to Cy? Will Cy give up on Jolie?

Book 2 Virtue & Spice: This book contains BDSM and swinging and is hot hot hot. Why can’t adults have an adult theme park that caters to their needs. We get to see Cy and Jolie as they partake in an adventure with Moon and Katja the couple they met while away.
The creators of Spicetopia know adulting is hard. Bills. Mortgages. Parenting. Estate planning. Sometimes you just need to kick back and indulge your inner kid except now that inner kid has grown-up tastes.
Cy and Jolie have experience from the kids’ theme park Cy’s family owns. Moon and Katja bring technical and architectural expertise to the table. So, these two couples set out to create a world of adult fun in a slice of paradise called Spicetopia.

Book 3 Fire & Ice: Neve Romano, Director of Security, and Enya Moore, Director of Public Relations, have never gotten along. What will happen when they must work together to stop someone from sabotaging Spicetopia’s grand opening? Can they work closely together without killing each other? Will they find out who is behind the sabotage? Can these two have something between them and have a happily ever after?

Book 4 Naughty & Nice: The big day for Spicetopia, is approaching and Natalie is planning Cy and Jolie’s wedding. She meets Micah when he arrives a few days early. He is officiating the nuptials and was a little interested in checking out the park. She wanted to make a good first impression, but the minister they brought in to officiate the ceremony was a sugarplum she wouldn’t mind sinking her teeth into. She needed to keep her hands and mouth to herself if she was going to pull off the holiday wedding of the century!

Micah Greene, he worked so hard to keep himself on the straight and narrow after he saw what promiscuity and debauchery had done to his brothers. He didn’t know what to expect when he was asked to officiate a wedding at a theme park catering to “grown-ups.” He would somehow resist the seductress event planner he had to work with. No matter how hard it was.

They could work together for one week, right? How hard could it be? You will need to read this story to find out, but I suggest you read all the books in order, so you know what’s going on.

I highly recommend this book/series….

Spicetopia Boxed Set (Books 1 – 4) Spicetopia Series by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Angela Hayes

/0 Comments/in /by

Spicetopia Boxed Set (Books 1-4)Spicetopia Boxed Set by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Spicetopia Boxed Set contains books one to four in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. The series is set in an “adult” theme park- where things get quite hot and spicy. In true Phoebe Alexander style, these stories sizzle off the pages. And the best part about this is you get all four books in one. No waiting between stories!
This is definitely a series any erotic romance lover won’t want to miss.

The Boxed Set contains:
-Sugar & Spice (Book One)- Cy and Jolie’s story.
-Virtue & Vice (Book Two)- Moon & Katja’s story
-Fire & Ice (Book Three)- Neve and Enya’s story.
-Naughty & Nice (Book Four)- Micah & Natalie’s story.

Sugar & Spice.
Sugar & Spice is the first book in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. I really loved this book, it is a little different from her other books- but with the same sexy flare we have come to expect from Ms. Alexander.
Cy is on an undercover mission at his family’s theme park. He has a job to do and there is quite a bit at stake. But he’s thrown off-kilter when he meets the delectable Jolie.
Jolie has a few secrets of her own. She works two jobs trying to make ends meet- taking care of her responsibilities is her number one priority. Sparks fly and the heat rises. But what happens when secrets are revealed? You really need some Sugar & Spice in your life to find out all the delicious details for yourself!
This was such a sublime introduction to the Spicetopia world!

Virtue & Vice.
Virtue & Vice is the second book in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. I though the first book was sexy- but this one turns the heat up even more- but still with the wonderful depth and substance Ms. Alexander is known for.
This story picks up from book one- so I would definitely recommend reading the first book, Sugar & Spice, before jumping into this one. Cy and Jolie, from book one, play an important part here- but it is Moon and Katja’s perspectives that really drive this story. Cy’s idea about an ‘adult theme park’ brings these four together, in more ways than one. Plans come together, and their ideas are flowing. They will all need to work together to bring their dreams to life. Add plenty of spice, turn up the heat, sprinkle some emotion, and blend a great storyline into the mix- and we have the recipe for a captivating read.
The story has a few surprises thrown in to keep our interest heightened. As well as having a lot of erotic moments throughout the book- with swinging/ménage, light BDSM, and plenty of ‘adult fun’ to be had- so don’t say I didn’t warn you.
A fantastic story, with great characters- makes this a superb addition to the Spicetopia series!

Fire & Ice.
Fire & Ice is the third instalment in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. Fire & Ice is my favourite of the series (so far). I know I say this with every book Phoebe Alexander releases, but I can’t help it, her books just seem to get better and better- as each new book slightly eclipses the one before it.
This is such an engrossing romantic suspense- with an enemies to lovers element to the story, as well as drama, action, mystery, intrigue, humour, spice, passion, BDSM, and erotic fun. The story has a few surprising developments thrown in to hold our interest. This was definitely one book I wasn’t putting down till I’d read every word.
This book follows Neve Romano and Enya Moore. Neve is ex-military and the new head of security at Spicetopia. He is the ‘strong-silent-type. A man of few words. Disciplined and controlled. Holding people at arm’s length, gives him a cold-as-steel facade. This makes him the complete opposite of Enya- a chatty, friendly ‘people-person’, (and at times fiery) redhead, who is perfect as the Director of Public Relations. Her personality grates him and makes him shake his head. She thinks he has a huge chip on his shoulder. They’re oil and water.
With the Grand Opening of Spicetopia fast approaching, someone is hell bent on Sabotaging the whole thing. Neve and Enya are thrown together to try to figure things out and get to the bottom of it all, before it’s too late. And things are about to heat up!!!
Another addictive addition to the Spicetopia series!

Naughty & Nice.
I have just finished reading this book- and WOW! Ms. Alexander out did herself. (Full review will be posted under this individual book title).

So, seriously, what are you waiting for- you need this boxed set in your life!!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Phoebe Alexander!

Summer Break: A Joe Football NovellaSummer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Summer Break by Autumn Sand is a great Novella. This series should be read in order to get the full story of what is going on. This is a continuation of Favor and Brice. It’s a couple I have grown to love. They have not had an easy time but any obstacles have brought them closer together with a stronger bond.
While on summer break they find out some information that can tear their group of close knit friends apart. I’m dying right now worrying about what will happen.
I have been a huge fan of this author since the first book I’ve read of hers. This series is a bit different from what I’ve read of hers but, I love it and cannot wait to see what happens next.

Summer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand reunites us with Brice and Favor from “Joe Football”. I enjoyed the first book- so catching up with Brice and Favor for this story was an added bonus.
It could be read as a standalone, but I really recommend reading Joe Football before beginning this book- as there is a lot of backstory and other important information that is worth knowing in order to enhance your reading experience of this book.
This is a short story, with a fast pace- which makes it a very quick and easy read. Though it may be small in size, there is nothing lacking about the story, or content- there was a lot packed into a small space and it felt like a much longer story (in a good way).
Brice and Favor have been through so much, and are taking a much needed break. We follow along as these two travel to New York with their friend Egon, who is playing in a band. But just because they are off to have fun doesn’t mean it will all be smooth sailing for them.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Sand.

Thank you, Autumn Sand!

Somebody in the Neighborhood
By: Judy Moore
5 out of 5 stars

The story Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is a thrilling/mystery book. It is a story that pulled me in and had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. The author creates an atmosphere of suspense that will stay with you the entire story. I enjoyed both the storyline and reading about the character of Dawn Anderson. She is a young woman who has come to live at Manatee Beach after her aunt is murdered. She is looking to be out on her own. Dawn is an intelligent and kind person. She soon begins to socialize with those who live in the neighborhood. Who could have murdered her aunt? Is that person part of the neighborhood? Is Dawn also in danger? Read this book to find out. This is the second book that I have read by the author and I have found her to have the gift of crafting an amazing story. She kept me guessing until the end. Besides Dawn, there are several other characters that are introduced. Some of them are very kind and welcoming to Dawn and others I found myself wondering about. Don’t miss out on a mystery that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

Phoebe Alexander has done it again! I absolutely loved this selection of books! The Spicetopia world is one I’m so glad I got to experience. These books can be read as stand-alone but believe me when I say you wouldn’t want to miss the build-up and back story in each one! You will never be disappointed with Phoebe Alexander’s writing, she continues to pull you in and hold you captive throughout.
These books are amazing, it was so good that I read it in one sitting! I was captivated, entranced and totally compelled reading it. It had romance & sexiness, it had emotions and secrets. Each book is fast-paced, and a captivating read that you can’t help but read them each in one sitting as you get so invested in the story and the characters that you can’t put it down.

These reads were written in the best way as we got each characters POV, It really helped us to get to know each of them, and what their real thoughts and feelings are.

Phoebe Alexander will and forever be a go-to author for me, she has an incredible way of gripping the reader from the start with her amazing characters and amazing storylines. I can honestly say you would never be disappointed picking up one of her reads, and I cant wait to see what else she can bring!

The story Jax Marlin – To Catch A Marlin is an amazing book to read. The story has action, danger, and a game of cat and mouse that is being played between the two main characters. I loved reading about Jax Marlin. She is called a vigilante; however, she sees herself as someone who finds and stops criminals her own way. She is intelligent, independent, strong, and beautiful. Special Agent Michael Pedroni is the one that has vowed to bring Jax in. As a Special Agent, he believes that her methods can be dangerous for those who are around when she strikes. However, Michael is questioning the difference in her justice and his. Will Michael be successful in apprehending Jax? What does the future hold for Jax and Michael? Read this book to find out. This is a story that does get emotional at times and I really felt for both Michael and Jax. I grew to care about both of them each chapter that I read. The story does have some steamy moments and moments that I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. Some of the additional characters only care about themselves and their plans. Will they succeed? Don’t miss out on a story that is an adventure that doesn’t stop until the last page. I highly recommend reading it.

This is absolutely at this moment my favorite of this whole series. It was so full of edge of your seat reading and putting it down was completely impossible. Been in kind of a reading rut lately and was really looking forward to this book. First because I am in love with this new series these two amazing authors have joined together to create and second because these two amazing authors both always remind me why I love reading so much!

I highly recommend reading the Prequel and then book 1 to this series before reading this one just so you get the full impact of the Alliance Agency and all those that are involved. I’m thinking you could possibly read this as a standalone, but I can’t imagine getting out of it the same thing.

I love stalker stories, especially ones like this that have me trying to figure it out all the way through and of course always being wrong. This book has it all and Cleo and Mason were an awesome leading couple. The danger and the secrets and the OMG so Hot moments between these two..I just can’t LOL

I Loved It and absolutely as usual can not wait for more..These two authors joining together was a genius move!!

Misplaced: Joined: Book TwoMisplaced: Joined: Book Two by Mara Gan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Misplaced is the 2nd book in the Joined series by Mara Gan. It follows on from the first book, Joined. I really loved the first book and was excited to see what the author had in store for Meda and Perseus next. This book was so not what I expected but I have to say that I absolutely loved it. I just could not put it down. I just had to know how this change of direction of the story would all work out.
Mara Gan has taken the reader on an amazing journey in this second book. Meda has woken up on a beach and has no memory of her past life. All she is sure of is that her name is Meda.
I absolutely loved how she and Perseus found their way together and fell for each other again, not knowing who the other person was due to their memory loss. In this book Mara Gan has written the most amazing story, with outstanding characters, some of whom you will love and others you will despise.
The story flows really well and you get totally dragged into the danger, intrigue and growing attraction brewing around these amazing characters. As well as Meda and Perseus, this book has a wonderful collection of secondary characters who have a vital role within the story and add much humour, danger, intrigue and mystery to this wonderful tale.
One thing I must add is that I’m praying that this is not the end of the Joined series as I’m not ready to say goodbye to Meda and Perseus yet.

The Boxed Set of Spicetopia has 4 stories that I fell in love with. The stories include steamy scenes, wonderful storylines, and amazing characters. I enjoyed that the characters from the previous story were found in the next book. The author does a wonderful job of making them come alive and I grew to care about them with each chapter that I read. Their interactions and relationships pulled me in, and each story had me hooked from the beginning. It all starts with how Cy Sweet and Jolie Cox meet. Then there is Moon and Katja, Neve Romano and Enya Moore, and Micah Greene. These are four stories that pull you in and doesn’t let you go until the end of each one. I am hoping that there is a fifth book in the series. Don’t miss out on the romance, steam, and characters in this boxed set. I highly recommend reading them.

5 ++++++++ Stars

One of my favorite storytellers ever has hit yet another completely out of the park with every book in this set. You start out with Cy and Jolie and get to follow them all the way through each book as they kinda sorta stay main characters throughout the complete story. We get introduced to other characters though throughout who each get their own spotlight story but the main theme stays the same. The planning, creating, and finally building Spicetopia, an adult theme park.

These books are HOT, Steamy, some danger, a lot of emotion, and did I mention HOT??

I completely fell in love with everyone in these books and loved following everything that went into building this theme park. It actually felt so real I want to google and find it, although people in my life would look at me like I’d lost my mind as I’m not that adventurous, this author makes it seem so normal and almost possible.

Read these!! Not even kidding..start at the beginning and I promise no matter what genre you read this will become one of your favorite series ever!

This story has all the feels! Right away I knew this was going to be a good one. Meeting the characters and getting their back story is done well. I feel like I know these two and only get to know them better as the story moves along. The attraction…yup I could feel that. The worry and concern…yup I could feel that. What about the heartbreak….yup that was the worst feeling. The love….yes that was the best!

I enjoyed each of these characters and the story took me for a ride. Just when I thought it was done. Nope it wasn’t. Her BIG gesture was wonderful! All of his weren’t too bad either. I felt myself smiling while reading about his Hula Girl and her Surfer Boy.

In the tail end of the 24th Century, Special Inspector Michael Pedroni pursues Jax Marlin, a beautiful and elusive vigilante. It’s a wild cat and mouse chase that will take him from Earth to the Bacchus Dome and beyond.

Jax Marlin is not your average criminal. She seeks out evil-doers and law-breakers, doling out justice in whatever way she sees fit. But lately, she finds she’s been gift-wrapping criminals specially for her favorite copper.

Four of the world’s leading criminals are lining up to form an alliance. Jax is determined to stop them. Hot on her heels, Inspector Pedroni finds himself questioning the difference, if any, between her justice and his. More than that, he wonders why, when he’d had her in his grasps, he was unable to slap on the restraints and bring her in.

Dawn Andersen and her parents are horrified when her carefree Aunt Amy is found stabbed to death on the beach, the second woman to be murdered in the small oceanside town of Manatee Beach. The police have arrested a homeless man for the murders, but is he the real killer? Dawn, 25, makes the biggest decision of her life when she decides to leave her routine existence in Ohio to move into her aunt’s cottage a block from the ocean in South Florida.

From the first night that Dawn arrives in Florida, the feeling of uneasiness never leaves her. There’s the strange man next door who always seems to be watching her. Married neighbors who were infatuated with her beautiful aunt. The nosy, too friendly mailman. A hooded figure who’s been lurking outside her house at night.

As Dawn learns more about her aunt’s life in Florida, she becomes convinced that the murderer is closer than she ever imagined, that her aunt’s killer is actually somebody in the neighborhood.

Judy Moore writes mystery novels and thrillers, as well as lighter family fiction. She is a longtime news writer, editor, and magazine feature writer, and has a master’s degree in journalism. Her fiction and nonfiction work has been published in numerous national publications, and most of her novels are published by BTGN publishers. She is a former tennis professional and sports writer, so her stories sometimes have a sports backdrop. Her most recent work “Somebody in the Neighborhood” is her fourth mystery novel. “Murder at the Country Club” is about a death on the golf course, and “Murder in Vail” is set on the ski slopes of Colorado. Her thriller “The Mother-in-Law,” set near St. Augustine, Florida, is a favorite with readers. Her Christmas anthology “Christmas Interrupted,” contains three novellas: “Airport Christmas,” “The Holiday House Sitter,” and “The Hitchhiker on Christmas Eve.” An earlier novella, “Birds of Prey,” and a new novelette “Football Blues” are also available on Amazon.

Epigenetics, gene silencing, passion, and friendship—Leda Balni is one of many graduate students, scrambling to make a difference in the race for the cure.
Is work all that matters?
Flora is engaged to the wrong man, Emin is a player, Makoto is in love with his experiments, and gorgeous Iul is smitten with unrequited feelings—not to mention exasperating Amar, who kissed Leda probably out of spite.
All of them are in the hands of temperamental bosses, funding agencies, and the United-States Immigration Services.
Does anyone ever find love? Results? Funding? Will Leda?
You’ll adore this riveting novel because it’s like Grey’s Anatomy in cancer research: funny, emotional, and extremely relatable with soothing pearls of wisdom for the single and paired.
Read it now.
