Out Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt – Review by Gail Guerrero

Five Stars

My jaw is on the floor. Omg I can’t believe what I just read. Its unimaginable but so real. To think that someone finally got the courage to say me too for men. It’s so sad that men do get the same benefit of belief that women do when they cry out for help. This story was too real. I felt like the author did an amazing job writing this story. It wasn’t too much and had the right amount of background. It would be nice to know what Julie was truly thinking and feeling. I am truly at a loss for words though. The trauma Brady experienced at the hands of his own mother. The one person meant to love him unconditionally. I cried because its unimaginable to me as a mother to do these things to my child. To physically harm them to the point that they could possibly die. Its unfathomable. I know they author heart broke with every word of this story. I see this as an eye opener for me. That we can’t take everything at face value. If the father hadn’t reacted the way he did. The outcome of this story wouldn’t be the one needed.

King & Hunt: A Lust/Hate Story is the first book I have read by Brienne Dubh. This is a really fantastic, sexy, fun read. The characters are believable and the dialogue is witty and fun. Christian and Gabriella have some wicked chemistry going on. This was a most enjoyable way to spend my afternoon. I hope to read some more book by Ms. Dubh in the near future.

Brutal & Raw: Mafia Romance & Psychological Thriller (Beneventi Family Book 1) by Sonya Jesus – Review by Michelle Austin

/0 Comments/in /by

Brutal & Raw (Beneventi Family, #1)Brutal & Raw by Sonya Jesus
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brutal & Raw was a great very dark 5 star read and book one in the Beneventi Family.
All I can say is this title was perfect for this story, it was brutal and raw and I loved it! I was pulled in right from the beginning.

She was known as 327, they never called them by their names because they didn’t want to humanize them. But there was something about 327 that drew Breaker in, he spent time with her specifically and told her things about the family. Knowing that she was getting too close to him and he was feeling things he shouldn’t Breaker had Butcher do his thing, BUT she got away. She wasn’t supposed to get away and now she knows things that could destroy his family.

Now she’s on the run and afraid he will find her, BUT the name he has isn’t really who she is. Trying to find her is bringing up more questions than answers. The longer it takes to find her the bigger the risk. Who is this woman that has captured his attention? Will Breaker find her before she tells anyone about the family secrets and destroys him?

Overall this is a very dark mafia read that could have big triggers for some. There were some scenes that had me cringing and pushing my boundaries to a new level. I loved hating Breaker but there was a little part of me that felt for the man. He is as dangerous as they come and doesn’t hesitate to show who the boss is. 327 has seen something in Breaker as well, something that was good and called to her. The secondary characters were great. There are several shocking twists and turns. If you like dark reads than this is a MUST READ for you, it’s hard to find authors that are willing to really push the boundaries and Sonya Jesus is one of them. I can’t wait to read more from this author and series.

Moonlit Mirage - A Cook Islands Romance (Moonlit Destination Series)Moonlit Mirage – A Cook Islands Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After a car accident forces Cade off a bridge, underwater angel Nadia saves his life. When Nadia disappears after the rescue Cade fears he won’t find her again.
Moonlit Mirage is an exciting story that kept me hooked from the very start. The author packs a lot into this short story, and I absolutely loved the characters of Cade and Nadia, they have a strong connection from the very beginning. There are some unexpected twists and turns throughout which make you want to keep on reading.
I would love a follow up book to explore the characters more as they both have much more to give.
If you are looking for a short story to devour in one sitting , I would definitely recommend this.

Out Of The ShadowsOut Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have known that the works of Theresa Sederholt are emotional reads up until now but this book sincerely threw me for the hills of tears. I was probably bawling through this majority of this book, like ugly cry tears. Dane and his son will swallow you up with their tragic story of bearing the brunt of an awful and abusive situation. The twist? His wife is the bad guy. Abuse is a topic that is difficult to read on any level but to see it from a male perspective was just absolutely eye opening. I have seen a friend of mine go through something similar and I just wanted to find him and hug him the moment I finished this novel since I couldn’t reach out to Dane in real life. This book is a taboo topic but it is done perfectly. You can tell that Sederholt really put her blood sweat and tears into this novel. It shows with the way you feel the characters as they do and you find yourself so completely wrapped up in Dane’s world. I can’t find enough good things to say about this novel and I so look forward to seeing what else will come next from the ever talented Theresa Sederholt!

Around MidnightAround Midnight by Zarina Macha
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have not had the pleasure of reading anything by Zarina Macha before but was completely enthralled in the idea behind this story based off the cover and the blurb. I wasn’t disappointed and found a very nice and fast paced read that kept me entertained from the very beginning until the last chapter. I loved how this was written in a way that could be enjoyed by anyone even though it is geared towards young adult readers. It touched on some serious topics with an underlying concept of choosing the path and handling the consequences that come of that decision. Megan and Vincent are both strong and hold their own but the two of them together is not necessarily a good thing. I must say I thought that I had things figured out then they did a completely different direction than what I had guessed. I love books that do that for me. I will definitely be looking into more of Zarina’s novels.

Out Of The ShadowsOut Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Out of the shadows by Theresa Sederholt is a very moving and emotional story of a loving dad who deals with the horror of domestic violence. The way that the author describes the feelings and emotions of the main character Dane and his son is very respectful and brings light to an issue that is not commonly talked about. Dane became a father at a very young age and now, in his thirties, he is doing all he can to keep his son safe from his alcoholic and violent wife. This is a very emotional story and I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. Very well written.

Brutal & Raw (Beneventi Family, #1)Brutal & Raw by Sonya Jesus
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book centres around the Beneventi crime family and their leader’s obsession with a girl that escaped him. This is a very dark book and not for the faint hearted, the subject matter is at times really gruesome and graphic and the concept of “the farm” is a bit disturbing. However, it is really well written and hopefully in following books the romance will come out a bit more.

The central story focuses on Breaker Beneventi and his, somewhat distorted, view of love for a girl he refers to as 327, a prisoner who he had developed feelings for (after kidnapping her) and then subsequently released. 327 (or Lyla) has found a safe-haven and is trying to move on with her life however this does not go to plan. I would like to learn more about Lyla’s past and see how this story develops as well as learning more about the other Beneventi siblings.

This was my first experience with this author. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Overall, it was a decent read. I was a bit disappointed that the initial heated friction between the two main characters was over fairly quickly. However, the way the last part of the story played out kind of made up for it. This is definitely set up as more of a short story feel. I finished it fairly quickly. This book would be a great read if you are waiting somewhere and need a distraction. It’s just entertaining enough to keep you from getting bored, but no so deep in story line that you’ll miss something if you have to stop reading. A solid 4 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first time reading anything by Theresa Sederholt, but I would definitely choose more books by this author in the future.
The book delves into the sensitive and heartbreaking topic of domestic abuse, and does a fantastic job of highlighting the fact that men are often victims of this too.
The book was mostly written from the perspective of husband Dane and son Brady, and to be honest I would have loved even more time to get to know these characters. Though the book is harrowing at times you can always feel the love that Dane has for his son.
At the start of the book the author warns of the story containing triggers for victims of domestic violence, so this book isn’t suitable for everyone. Of course this book is difficult to read at times, but the author handles it with extreme care, and throughout the story the message for me is that you are not alone.

Flowers in December Trilogy: Flowers in December, Coming Home, Second Chance
by Jane Suen
4 Stars

These books show the changes and evolution of Connor which take place within the span of two years approximately. It starts with Flowers in December and the death of his mother. Connor is trying to deal with his grief and regret of not visiting more often. It is more about his inner journey and facing his own mortality.

His story continues in Coming Home. It is a story about love and forgiveness. He returns home for his first Christmas without his mother. It’s rough but being with friends and helping his neighbour aids him in healing. It is a Christmas story with deeper meaning.

In Second Chance, we see more of the relationship between Connor and Mary Ann. Each trying to decide what it is that they really want. It is an easy to read romance. This trilogy flows effortlessly into each other. You feel a range of emotions from grief to acceptance, nervousness to euphoria. These are well written books showing the evolution of one man through a meaningful time in his life.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

King & Hunt: A Lust / Hate Story by Brienne Dubh is an enjoyable quick read. Christian and Gabby have had a hate/hate relationship since meeting each other at school years previously. Unfortunately for them, Gabby is best friends with Christians twin sister so there is no escape for either of them. Once the pair decide to call a truce for an evening, they discover that they feel more than just loathing between them but is one evening enough? This is a fun, enemies to lover’s romance that manages to tell the story without feeling too rushed. Would really recommend if you are looking for a steamy story with a few laughs on the way. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley is a quick read novella introducing Nadia and Cade. The story starts with Nadia rescuing Cade from drowning after a car accident, but she is not there by coincidence. Five years later their paths cross again by chance and the connections that they felt is rekindled but there are secrets that are bound to come to light. I read this book really quickly as I was really looking forward to finding out more of Nadia’s past. I hope that there is a follow up to this book to learn more about the characters history and how this is going to present challenges to their future. This is the first book I have read by this author but will definitely be looking at her other works.

This is a short story and it is about a man named Dane who is hiding a very big secret that is fixing to be spilled for the world to see. I love the character development for him, he was already strong but by the end he was so much stronger and has his head held up high. I am so looking forward to reading more by this author in the future! Happy reading!

FLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGY: Flowers in December, Coming Home, Second Chance by Jane Suen – Review by Angela Hayes

/0 Comments/in /by

FLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGYFLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGY by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

FLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGY by Jane Suen contains all three books in the Flowers in December series: Flowers in December (Book #1), Coming Home (Book #2), and Second Chance (Book #3). This is a lovely series-

Flowers in December is the first book in the Flowers in December Trilogy and is a beautiful story. I have read a few of Ms. Suen’s books now and enjoyed them all, but I have to say that this one is definitely my favourite so far. Having lost a parent myself, this story touched a cord with me and I could really relate to Connor and what he was going through.
This story may be small when it comes to pages, but doesn’t lack in the content department. Ms. Suen had me hooked quite quickly and held my attention the whole way through. As it is a short story, I finished it in a small amount of time- but because of the way the author infused so much emotional content into the story- it has stayed on my mind even after moving on to other books since finishing it. That is a great sign of a talented author and a wonderful story.
The story deals with and explores quite a lot in a short space- loss, grief, mortality, the passage of time, realization/discovery, learning to let go of the past, being hopeful, embracing life, and making meaningful connections. The story was relatable and entirely believable.
There were some truly beautiful passages throughout this book that lifted the story from being heavy or depressing- giving it some very touching/heart-warming qualities.

Coming Home is the second book in the Flowers in December Trilogy.
We meet back up with Connor, four months after the end of the first book. He has ‘come home’ for the holidays as a way of honouring his mother and his/their memories . This story is a continuation of the first book, with Connor still coming to terms with his mother’s passing, the grieving process, self-realization, forgiveness, finding a way to move forward, mending bridges, hope, love, and emotion- which happens over the course of the story. I loved it even more than the first book.
I really recommend reading the first book before starting on this one, as all the backstory and other relevant information is contained in that book. Ms. Suen had me hooked quite quickly and engaged me the whole way through. It is a short story, and I finished it quite quickly- but as with the first book, the author infused so much emotional content into the story- it has stayed on my mind long after finishing it.

Second Chance is the third and final instalment in the Flowers in December Trilogy. It is everything I could have hoped for as the conclusion to Connor’s story. A lot has happened since we met him back in book one.
This sweet story is all about second chances- with a very realistic and believable storyline. Ms. Suen definitely saved the best till last, as this is my favourite of the three books, for sure.
For such a short story, it definitely leaves an impression.

Looking forward to what ever Ms. Suen decides to do next!

Thank you, Ms. Suen!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

King & Hunt: A Lust/Hate Story was a great 5 star read.

Gabriella is at her besties birthday party and is surprised when she finds out that Christian was in town for the party. Christian is her bestie’s twin brother and he hates her. These two have never gotten along, even when they were all still in high school. I would say him and his buddies were downright cruel.

They both agree to try and get along while at the celebration. When she has had her fill and decides to head to her hotel room, Gabriella is shocked to see her ex walking into the hotel and in her direction. Christian who is also calling it a night does something that completely blows her away. And it was hot as heck. His action spurs some intense attraction that neither of them can deny and agree to one night.

Can they keep it to one night?

Overall this was a great enemies to lovers read. I really liked Gabriella, Christian and Amy. I had some LOL moments with these two. There are some secrets revealed that added a great element to the story and gave it a great twist. I would love to see more from these two. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today.

FLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGY: Flowers in December, Coming Home, Second Chance by Jane Suen

Each of these stories got to my feels in a way that I had to process my thoughts and feelings before I could move forward.

Conner deals with a lot of different emotions in each of the books. The first is guilt after losing his Mother. Then of course he goes through all of the phases of grief which is a roller coaster of emotions l. You hit the peaks and valleys of the different feelings sometimes simultaneously, especially when dealing with the loss of a parent or strong a parental figure.

I have lost my Daddy and a close Mother type figure in my life and could relate all too well to his emotions and how there were some days he just made it through on auto pilot.

I enjoyed all of the books but think the last was my favorite. Conner finds happiness in his day to day life which isn’t easy without the additional challenges he faced.

Mountains Loved is the third book in the Mountains Series by Pheobe Alexander. Holy Cow , what a story. I think this one is my favorite yet. I literally found myself lost in the pages. I couldn’t stop reading till the end. I was invested in this book so much I at times was biting at my nails not because of suspense but because the scene was hot and steamy. There is a bit of drama and a little bit of sadness but the steamy scenes will take your mind off the drama . I will highly recommend reading this series in order as they are Also James and Sarah’s story. This is the continuance of their story and holy cow its quite the journey. I love these two characters, actually love all the characters but these two have been through so much together. Can these two get the HEA they’ve always wanted? .Find out what happens next in this absolute must read . I truly look forward to reading more from this Author.

Brutal and Raw by Sonya Jesus was very difficult for me personally to read. It was very well written and a very entertaining story, but there should definitely be a trigger warning involved for some readers. The characters were very well developed, and the story does grab you and hold you. There was drama, romance and suspense, and for that and overall writing style I’m giving this novel 4 stars. Just personally, this wasn’t the novel for me. I will read more from this author though in the future.

by Gaia B Amman

I really enjoyed reading this coming of age book. All the emotions, insecurities, and hormones that come with being a teenager were definitely felt by Leda and her friends. This story made me think back to when I was that age and I remember all those same feelings. Leda has liked Nico for as long as she can remember but does he feel the same way? These are questions coming from a teenager whose emotions are all over the place. Nico is what is thought of as a bad boy player with no feelings, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. There are some serious topics talked about in this book and it made me think about all things kids are dealing with. I really enjoyed reading this story. I have read other books by this author and I have always liked them very much and it’s the same with one as well. I highly recommend this book and I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

One of favorite tropes, enemies to lovers. What happens when what you thought for years is changed after one conversation?
Gabby and Christian have hated each other since before they ever even met, and Christians twin sister who is also Gabby’s best friend, is stuck in the middle trying to keep the peace.
When Christian comes to town for their birthday, things change and that’s when the sparks fly and it leads to some steamy scenes.

This is a great coming of age for teens and young adults. You may even find some history in the Italian lifestyle.

Leda is your typical teenage girl. This book follows her struggles and triumphs of school, church and friends. You will get to read all about the teens she is associated with. As well as her struggle with making the right choices. It was so easy to relate to her and her feelings. Which makes for a great Coming of Age story.?

Gaia B Amman has written this story with knowledge of Italy and the trying trials of growing up. I love her characters and the fact she follows them closely. You will experience for yourself, those same feelings you had growing to adulthood. I recommend this series be read by all teens. I also recommend it be read in the order it was written. I won’t give you spoilers. But… I will say it is a must read. Thank You Gaia B Amman for providing such a great series for our teens and young adults. Well Done!!!

Brutal & Raw (Beneventi Family, #1)Brutal & Raw by Sonya Jesus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and she left me speechless. I have not read a mafia book in a long time and this book got me back into it. This is the first book in the Beneventi series and wow what a crazy start. This book gave me chills and nightmares. I could not put this book down although there were parts that made me sick to my stomach. I wanted to know what was going to happen so I kept reading. It only took me a few hours to devour this interesting book.

Her whole life she has been on the run but one night she runs into her end. She finds herself in a place called the farm and the only way out is death. When she meets the boss, she can’t help but feel something for him. He is the only one that is nice to her in this hell that she is in. Breaker told her all kinds of his secrets when they were together. He only knew her by the number 327. She is so scared but she makes her escape and she finds herself in a home. Now Breaker needs to find her because she knows everything that could tear his world apart but he doesn’t even know her real name. Will Breaker find her or will she find him first?

Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian (The Italian Saga #3)Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a teen love story between Leda and Nico.

Leda is a young girl growing up, facing all the things a young woman has to go through including finding her place in the world and finding love.

Leda falls in love with Nico, however Nico is a bad boy. They used to be friends but they grew further apart until Nico acts so strange she doesnt recognise him anymore. After Nico does something terrible to the school he is sent away to a different school.

But this doesnt stop Leda thinking about him and wanting to be with him. Is it too late for them? Is Nico to far gone or can Leda save him? Would she be better off forgetting Nico and moving on.

REWIND Boxed set (Rewind Series Books 1-4) By Rowan Shaw – Review by Heather Harmon

Wow, This series has some great characters and a great storyline that flow together nicely to the next book. The writing style really brings some depth to the books. I couldn’t put them down. I like that the stories are coming from the characters. It was nice to read about the LGBTQ Community and see the struggles they deal with in relationships as well. I enjoyed the french setting and how the stories opened my eyes to the LGBTQ community even more.
