Black Blade by Alexander Charalambides is a fantasy adventure following Lance, an American student, who finds Excaliber and is chosen for a quest. This story is full of action and magic. I enjoyed the characters, but was a little confused by the timeline at points. The POV changes also confused me a bit. I think with a few more headings that can be fixed. I do think this was an interesting and unique take on the story of Lancelot and Excaliber. I look forward to reading the next adventure from this author.

Journeys Through TimeSpace (Journeys Through) by James Talisman is the second book in the series and is a fantasy sci fi story. It is an adventure where the story is multi layered and complex with a lot going on with so many character players. James certainly keeps you on your toes. As with the first book, James has once again given the reader a lot to think about in the aspect of spirituality and time travelling and a shared consciousness throughout a multiverse. In this book the players are tasked with finding a treasure that is coveted and is shrouded in mystery and age old time. Again I found myself thinking that the story could have been told in fewer words but it was interesting to see how James has grown from his first. I look forward to seeing where he takes us next.

DIE FOR ME: A gripping psychological suspense set in New England by Diane Hester is a psychological thriller that is full of bitterness and tragedy, love and hate, suspicion and lies. Diane has carefully woven together several stories into one and takes you on a journey that keeps turning the pages and keeps you wondering where the story is going to go.

Black Blade by Alexander Charalambides YA fantasy paranormal story that is full of magic and adventure. It is Alexander’s first book and is a fun way to start the series and it is funny and a joy to read. There are a lot of characters and the story being told by different POV’s and at times it is a bit confusing to keep them all straight. The story is easily read and definitely entertaining. Alexander has done well with this first book and I look forward to the next one.

Well, for this being my first read by Kaylin Peyerk, I didn’t know what to expect, but I was not disappointed. For one thing, I think the cover of this book is eye-catching and beautiful, it really shows how imaginative and vivid this book is.
This book had a brilliant storyline that had me hooked from start to the very end. It’s a very mentally visual read, I felt as though I was there alongside the characters, learning the history of fae and experiencing everything alongside them. I loved getting to know our main characters and Tiana was everything you could want from a female lead character, I loved following her growth and where she goes along on her journey from the start until where she ends up at the end. I loved meeting all of the fae males in this read and finding out where their connections go with Tiana, but i feel like other than Lucian we didn’t get a deeper insight into the other males, and i wanted to know more! I think my biggest surprise was Rowan that was something i didn’t see coming!
You can’t deny the adventure, romance, passion and sexiness in this read it flowed throughout and was undeniable at times.
I can’t wait to see where this story takes us next in Book #2 especially after this ending, I want to know more and what will come of the situation that Tiana finds herself in! I highly recommend this read!

How Could I Forget (Plentiful in Love Book 1) by N.D. Jackson is a romance story of a missed opportunity. One night changed it all for our characters but only one has kept that secret for 6 years. The story was written in a way that is easy to read and it felt real in this simplicity. ND had done a wonderful job in keeping the reader engaged and being able to get lost in the story. It has moments that make you feel what they are feeling and hoping against hope that everyone gets their HEA. There were a few moments where I wanted to strangle our male figure but I forgave him in the end. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

What another brilliant read brought to this already amazing series! Each hook seems to be getting more and more interesting and captivating as we go along! Amy McKinley has a brilliant way of creating amazing storylines that really bring the story to life. It’s a mentally visual read that really makes you believe you are there alongside the characters. This read has action, adventure, danger, suspense & romance. It has amazing chemistry between two characters that you hope to get a HEA. Each time we are brought a story from Amy McKinley we get to follow a character we have previously met in another one of these books, this time we follow the team as they head to a place where member Keegan really doesn’t want to go but what happens when he comes face to face with that reason?! I can’t wait to see who’s story we get to follow next.

Wow! This read was brilliant right from the start! This is my first read from this author but after reading this I will most definitely be looking for more books from this author to dive into!
This read has romance, passion & friendship, banter, it has raw emotion, upsetting scenes but nothing about this read makes you want to put it down! I was emotionally invested in the read, I was invested in the characters’ stories, the incredible storyline, the developing connections and chemistry between the characters. This read is realistic, captivating and really makes you connect with each character, you can’t help but love each and every one of them, and to have it written in dual POV’s really makes it so much better! I love knowing what a character is actually thinking and feelings as it helps me connect and love them even more!
I absolutely loved everything about this read and so glad that I picked this read up! I can’t wait to read more from this author and experience more of what she has to offer from her incredible reads!

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery was just what I needed. A nice and refreshing funny romance comedy. I love that KL writes about real women with less than what others perceive perfect bodies. There were lots of feels in this story but I laughed out loud so often my husband thought I had gone bonkers. KL has a way with words that just make you settle in for the ride and enjoy yourself.

I’ve read various books from this author and its been a while so I was glad I got my hands on this read! Music Man is Book #1 in a new series and I can’t believe I waited to read more books by this author! This book had me hooked from the very beginning, it was fun, it had Laugh out Loud Moments and it had romance what more could you want! This author has an amazing way with words and in doing so creates a storyline that is brilliant and characters that are relatable, lovable and you really connect with them and can’t wait to find out more of their journey. I loved that Fat Girl wasn’t the end of Claire’s journey and we got more of her story in this read, and boy I wasn’t disappointed, I loved reading about her developing connection to Jack but would his dreams get in the way of their HEA?!
I’m so glad I read this read, and can’t wait for more to come in this series. I highly recommend this read and all other reads by this author!

This author once again takes you along on an incredible multiverse, multi-layered adventure story that you are unable to put down. You are taken along on a journey in a race against time, with characters that literally jump of the pages! You can’t help but become more and more invested in all the characters stories as the plot carries on growing.
This book has been created with such detail and descriptive writing you can’t help but mentally visualise the entire read and feel as though you are there within the story itself. It makes it that much more real, intriguing and totally captivating.
I highly recommend this book and I’ll be eagerly awaiting to see what else this author brings – and how much more this multi-verse expands!

Anything to do with paranormal is a must-read for me, and this book is no different! I was intrigued to read it just from the book cover and then reading the synopsis drew me in even more, and boy I wasn’t disappointed.
This book captivated me from the start, from the vivid storyline to the brilliant relatable, lovable characters that really bring this story together. Kingsley and Eva have some brilliant chemistry that really connected them and made their attraction to each other even stronger! After following their journey together in this read I couldn’t help but hope they get their HEA!
After reading this I can’t wait to read more by this author and see what else this author brings, until then I highly recommend this read! It’s not to be missed!

Age of Secrets (The Druid’s Brooch Series 8) by Christy Nicholas is another wonderful fantasy book in the series and easy to get lost in the storyline and characters. It is a creative adventure full of action and danger, and magic. Christy has a way of writing to make the story pop off the page and the plot is always well developed making the characters come to life.
In this book Fingin is sent off on a journey to find his grandmother. Fingin along with his friends have to face the danger and the obstacles set in his path. Fingin finds his grandmother but things are not what they seem. Now you have to grab a copy if you want to know what happens.

Indebted to the Vampires (House of Durand Book 1) by Erin Bedford is not only a paranormal romance story it is also a reverse harem fantasy. There are lots of vampire stories out there and it still amazes me that authors can come up with something different but that is exactly what Erin has done. The story is fun and entertaining and the characters were well developed individuals and with so many they each had their own quirks, crazy and flaws but that is what made the story. It is easy to read but it does need some revision done on the editing which slowed down the flow. I hated where it ended, it was just getting good and can’t wait for the next one.

Having previously read a book by Naomi Valkyrie I knew no matter that she was a go-to author and I would read anything she wrote, having Rebecca E. McEwen join in with that writing made this read stand out even more! This is a brilliant captivating fantasy read that’s fast-paced full of mentally visual content the entire read and difficult to put down, its full of action, adventure and has an amazing storyline and brilliant characters who’s journey I thoroughly enjoyed following! Not only did the synopsis pull me in but I was intrigued by the cover of the read that could tell a story of its own! Both of these authors writing flowed effortlessly and seamlessly and I was disappointed it had ended! I can’t wait to see what else comes from these two authors whether individually or together, either way, I will eagerly be awaiting more!

Phoebe Alexander has done it again! Every time I think she won’t exceed the book before she keeps proving me wrong! This read can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading them as part of a series! Phoebe Alexander each time creates a storyline and characters that are well developed, real and captivating. I loved following the characters journey throughout watching them grow into even stronger characters, and finding their self. This book has steaminess, romance and emotion, and makes it a hard read to put down! I can’t wait for more from this author, I can’t wait to explore more characters from this series! I highly recommend this read!

I don’t know how many more times I can keep praising Manda Mellett and her incredible reads! Each book she creates just seems to get better and better, to the point I never wanted it to end!
This book takes you on an emotional journey, in which this time was following two stories! We follow Lizard’s & Mace’s story each just as powerful and emotional in their own way. We get raw emotions, action, adventure, suspense, danger, passion, romance and heartbreak, it is jammed packed with an incredible storyline and its a read you can’t help but be utterly captivated and invested in, wanting to find out whether our main characters who rightly deserve to get their HEA.
This read is made even better by the fact that it’s written in various POV’s it helps you really connect and understand the characters more, really help you find out what they are really thinking and feeling and I can’t help but connect with them, love them and totally root for them even more.
Manda Mellett can’t do any wrong, she gives us emotion and sexiness without overwhelming you with too much and to make it even better she gives us some hot MC’s. I can’t wait to see what she brings us next, I will eagerly be awaiting more from this series and anything she creates!

What a read! Indebted to the Vampires Is my first read by Erin R. Bedford and after reading this I can’t wait to get my hands on the other books in the series.
I loved the characters that this author has created each of them stand out and you can’t help but be intrigued by the 6 gorgeous leading men! Piper was everything and more I love that she stood up for herself and always said what she wanted to say, she was witty, funny a bit clumsy but most of all she was herself and with that came the connections she made with the men. We can’t forget to mention Darren, while in the beginning, I was unsure of him, in the end, I think he is exactly the right person to kind of help Piper navigate this world that she finds herself in the middle of! This was a brilliant captivating storyline from the start until the very end. It’s a mentally visual read which made it even more impossible to put down the read. I couldn’t get enough of the chemistry whether sexual, flirtatious, frustration and anger that came from the connections these characters made with each other, It was as though she has always known them! I loved that it was written in multiple POV’s as it really gave you a better insight into each character and their thoughts and real feelings.
My only issue was that ending! How could it end like that I can only imagine how book 2 will go! I have a feeling we are going to be in for another epic journey of suspense, action, sexiness and total brilliance of Piper! I cannot wait! I highly recommend this read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this read, it makes a change to read a spin on Wizard of Oz, it’s been created into a world that is full of twists and turns, steaminess & humour. I loved the storyline and the creativity of it all, Madeline Fay has not only created a mentally visual read but she has created some unforgettable characters. I loved following the journey of our main character, they were strong characters that you couldn’t help but root for and hope they come out on the other side. This was a brilliant fantasy read full of adventure that kept me turning the pages! I’m so glad that got to read it and I can’t wait to experience more from this author.

Endless Night by R.M. Gilmore is the second book in the Dylan Hart series. This is a brilliant follow up to the first book. I would advise to read them in order as it follows the same character. It was so good to get back into the character that is Dylan. She was just as strong and entertaining as in the first book. The story has been well developed, building on what the first book established. I was instantly drawn back into the characters and the story. It was interesting, entertaining and just great writing. I cannot wait for book 3!

Holding Out For You by Anna Paige is a fantastic book that genuinely had me hooked from page one. This is exactly the type of story that I love – brothers best friend, enemies to lovers, it has it all. Anna Paige is a new author to me I was blown away by her writing style. She knew exactly how to draw the reader in and have you captivated by the characters. Blair and Ashton has such a chemistry between them. I could feel it on every page. I was glued to their story. This is a brilliant book and I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Anne by Zarina Macha is a book that deals with some serious issues in a sympathetic and engaging way. As a young adult book it touches on subjects that a lot of others in the genre tend to stay away from. It really takes you on the ups and downs of being an adolescent and delves into issues that a lot of them face in today’s society. With that being said it is quite an easy book to read. It has a nice steady pace about it and the author builds up the characters well. This is one of those books that I think for people in the genre it is definitely worth a read! And for those who don’t usually read this genre I would suggest they give it a go.
What a great read! First of all the cover drew me in first then to read the synopsis had me even more intrigued. Sloane Murphy is a new author for me but her writing had me hooked from the very beginning. She has created a storyline that is mentally visual and vivid. She has created characters that have depth, are strong and relatable. I was kept hooked with this read and I couldn’t stop turning the pages to find out what would happen next. Being a dark fantasy read I was looking forward to being taken into this world, I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation, this book is full of secrets, betrayal, lies, suspense, adventure and love and to top it all off, we have an ending like that! I can’t wait to see what else this author brings and I will be eagerly awaiting the next book!

Love Is What You Bake Of It by Effie Kammenou is the first book in the Meraki series. This book is so sweet and heartwarming that it will definitely put a smile on your face. Effie Kammenou really knows how to write a good story. This book is exactly what I would expect from her. It is an interesting story that is well written and engaging. It has loveable, sweet characters that you just have to root for. And it has that something that means you have to keep turning the pages to find out what will happen. This is the perfect book for one of those lazy afternoons, when you can just give yourself over to the story and get lost in the pages! This was a great book and a really lovely story. I would definitely recommend reading it.

OMG! Why did I not know about this book before now! I am always on the lookout for vampire books and I am so glad this one fell into my lap! This story! These vampires! That Maid! All so sassy and sexy. I devoured this book in a few hours! It’s one I read late into the night. Who was going to get the maid? What is she going to break next? Will Antoine ever smile? Will the vampire get earplugs? Ha ha that one just makes me smile. They shouldn’t listen to what they don’t want to know… right? Right?
Well this is a first time author for me. If you couldn’t tell…I LOVED this story and these characters! They are both lively. The story is engaging and easy to read with many ups and downs. I can not wait to dive into the second book to see what happens next.

Hail Mary by Hope Anika is an entertaining and fast paced story with some fantastic characters to go along with it. Beau and Wynn are those type of characters that absolutely compliment each other. The chemistry between them combined with the back and forth is done so well. I laughed with them, I was on the edge of my seat with them. They are characters you cannot help but connect with. The story was action packed and fast paced. It definitely keeps you the in the pages!! This is one of only a few books I have read by this author but it definitely cements the fact that I can’t wait to read more of her work.

I LOVED this book! The storyline is so good! I didn’t want to put this one down! It’s smooth and flows along very effortlessly. Then there are the wonderful characters. The author is able to bring these characters to life with words. I could picture them and what they were doing easily. It is such a delight!
I enjoyed seeing a “tells it’s like it is” woman. She is strong self-assured and knows that she can do things herself. Then we meet the cantankerous sheriff. He has pain hidden deep and would like nothing more than to fade into the woodwork. But once he gets threatened with a wrench, from a “little spitfire”, he starts to wonder about his life. That’s when the fun starts. The tension between these two is just rolling off the pages! Their antics are like watching a movie in my head! Then there is the back and forth angry, desperate conversations. I can’t help but enjoy reading those. How she challenges him and how he frustrates her.
All of the secondary characters (and there is a lot) are delightful as well. They all add to the story. I loved each of their issues and how they tried to deal with them. My favorite thing was the tenants of the boarding house were mostly elderly. They All have interesting personas and reasons for being there.
This is a suspenseful story with a side of romance. I really enjoyed reading this and I highly recommend.

License To Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy by Carrie Pulkinen is the first book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. This is a fun and highly entertaining book and a great new way of telling a vampire story. What a brilliant way to start a new series! Carrie Pulkinen has definitely set the bag high for this series. This book was so entertaining and absolutely hilarious. I loved how feisty and loud Jane turns out to be, and how completely surprised Ethan is by this. What ensues between them is just out and out good story telling. The author weaves her words in such a way that it creates a unique and interesting book. If this is only the first in the series then I cannot wait to see what else she has in store for us.
