My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great read. You cant help but love the characters in this story and it keeps you gipped.

Calum and Olivia were high school sweethearts. Their love for each other was strong and pure. However Olivia was the Mayors daughter and he didnt approve so forced her to break up with Calum in a public way. Causing heartbreak to them both and public humiliation to Calum.

Fast forward years later, Calum is a successful MMA fighter. He returns home for a fight and makes it his goal to find and humiliate Olivia the way she did him.

However, things arent what they seem. Then or now. Olivia is trapped by her abusive father who rules every aspect of her life. She sees no escape from him.

Can Calum see past his hurt to see what is really happening and rescue her or will her hardshell and cold attitude succeed in hurting and pushing him away again.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sometimes you need to read a book whether you know it or not. This book in one way or another called to me. I am so glad I read this book, I just needed it.
Meg and Drew are our two main characters and I really got wrapped up in their stories and how they’ve battled through everything life has decided to throw at them.
I love small town stories and all that comes with them. I cant wait to see where this series goes! Glad I took a chance on these 2 new to me authors!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ok im going to get this off my chest first lol. I loved this book through and through and I understand the reasoning, i do, but I am so bothered/aggravated by the ending I can’t get over it. I know why it was done the way it was but I just need an answer as to who?! I cant make a guess because each one was great in their own way.
Ok got that all out! This was so different and i really enjoyed this. What if we could see what would happen with each choice made in life? That’s this book. Different takes on different choices.
Chloe was a no drama character really she wasn’t. I loved her blunt holds no punches attitude. And all the people we meet. I loved them. Great read really, im just hung up about the end.

Be Brave With Me (Finding Love In Green Springs Book 1)Be Brave With Me by J.B. Havens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a read!
I’m so glad that I picked this read up, I was absolutely captivated with this read from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down till the very end. I found the ending of this read bittersweet, as I really didn’t want it to end, I wanted to carry on following Drew & Meg’s story.

This was a beautiful read that was full of emotions, Meg & Drew both held my heart the entire read and I just hoped that their past wouldn’t hold them back from what you could tell was going to be an epic love!
Meg & Drew’s connection started off a tad rocky but boy oh boy did it definitely heat up, they had an amazing chemistry and connection in and out of the bedroom, they really bounced off each other and brought out the best in each other all the while breaking down each others barriers.

This book really brought out all your emotions, in parts it was both heartwarming and heartbreaking but I couldn’t help but route for these two characters that they get a HEA they both so deserve. I loved the secondary characters that were weaved into Meg & Drew’s story, but Nana was who stood out the most! I loved her honesty, her caring and protective side all rolled into one, yet she never judged.

This was an amazing story that I can’t wait to read again, I’m looking forward to reading what else comes to this series and what characters journeys we follow next!

I highly recommend this read, it’s not to be missed!

Be Brave With Me (Finding Love In Green Springs Book 1)Be Brave With Me by J.B. Havens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first book by CA Miconi. I knew it was a romance and that’s exactly what I needed in my life. I didn’t realize how much this book would gut me hearing all of their past. I fell hard and fast for both of the main characters in this book- Meg and Drew. Which ironically is my ex husband’s name. I have to admit that threw me off, but he acts more like my boyfriend now- so I was a goner for these two characters. It was a great read and I recommend it 100%. This will not be my last book by CA Miconi!

How (Stalker Series, 3)How by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give How (Stalker Series Book 3) by Megan Mitcham, 5 stars.

This is my favorite book in the series. While every main character in this series has been wonderful, I personally could relate to Libby a bit more. Throw cats into the mix and you sold me. All of that aside, this book has the romance and suspense you have come to expect in this series. There are many twists and turns and you feel exactly what Libby must be feeling — both good and bad. The new characters introduced in this book are really interesting too. They have layers to them, not just flat placeholders.

If you like a romantic suspense story with a strong female lead and lots of twists and turns, this book is for you.

This is a story that I would recommend reading.

Hero High: Figure In The Flames by Mina Chara – Review by Juls Dick

Figure in the Flames (Hero High, #1-3)Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hero High: Figure in the Flames is the first three novels in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. I really love this series. It starts with introducing the reader to the world of Superheroes. Specifically Friday Fitzsimmons, a first year student at the famous Hero High in Icon City. The world has changed since the first superheroes appeared. They are now celebrities, followed by cameras on their missions and fighting for popularity. The story is told in flashback with Friday recalling the tale to a writer (which is a style I really liked). Friday faces a number of trials while trying to decide which kind of hero she is going to be. Whilst also realising that not everything is as it seems in Icon City. This book has mystery, romance and action while also being funny and fresh. The main characters are (mostly) likable and as you read on you find out more about their lives. I recommend this book to fantasy lovers who are looking for something new. Very enjoyable read.

Can your worst mistake become your greatest gift?

Silas

Fate brought me back to Atlanta, Georgia, but there’s only one thing that will make me stay—a second chance with the love of my life, Audrey Colebank. Which isn’t likely, because she hates me for disappearing so many years ago.

I can’t tell her the real reason I left. Someone close to her made me promise to stay far away, and revealing what happened would only hurt Audrey again. But now that I’ve seen her, the spark that never went out has become a flame. Keeping away from her is going to be difficult. Maybe impossible.

Should I leave again to protect her, or can we find a way to be together?

Audrey

I was at a point in my life where I finally knew who I was and what I wanted. Then fate threw me a curveball from the past—my biggest mistake, Silas Vance.

Seeing him again has forced me to face two truths. One, I still can’t resist him, even though he tore my heart to shreds when he left. And two, I can’t tell him my biggest secret without hurting him and everyone I love.

He doesn’t deserve a moment of my time after what he did, but avoiding him is easier said than done. When he’s near, logic and reason disintegrate in the fire of passion he ignites in me.

Do I have the strength to resist him, or will I make another mistake?

My name is Vivienne “Vi” Gearhart, and I’m a witch by birth. But my life isn’t just teacups and tarot cards these days. As mystical storms rumble overhead and a dark curse stalks my coven, my inner witch knows change is coming.

Then a fox shifter named Aiden McPherson knocks on my door—asking questions, stirring emotions, and rousing desires I hadn’t expected.

Can we unravel the secrets of our own magicks—and find a way to break the curse that has sunk its teeth into the coven?

The Tangled Magic Series continues in Vi and Aiden’s story, the second book in this series featuring witchy magic, small-town charm, and all the paranormal romance a reader could ask for!

Equal parts bookworm, flower child, and eclectic witch, Denise D. Young writes fantasy and paranormal romance featuring witches, magic, faeries, and the occasional shifter.

Whatever the flavor of the magic, it’s always served with a brisk cup of tea–and the promise of romance varying from sweet to sensual.

She lives with her husband and their animals in the mountains of Virginia, where small towns and tall trees inspire her stories. She reads tarot cards, collects crystals, gazes at stars, and believes magic is the answer (no matter what the question was).

If you’ve ever hoped to find a book of spells in a dusty attic, if you suspect every misty forest contains a hidden portal to another realm, or if you don’t mind a little darkness before your happily-ever-after, her books might be just the thing you’ve been waiting for.

Perfect by Tricia Copeland – Review by Angela Hayes

PerfectPerfect by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Perfect by Tricia Copeland is an intriguing take on contemporary romance. Ms. Copeland’s creative way of bringing this story together, and the way she involves her readers- really made for a great read. This story is a little different from the other books that I have read from Ms. Copeland- and showcases her storytelling talents and confirms that she is able to tackle any genre.
The premise of this book really intrigued me, and I loved the simple and elegant cover- and having enjoyed Ms. Copeland’s other work, I happily grabbed a copy to entertain me for an afternoon.
Perfect is a standalone, light-hearted, interesting, and thought provoking read. It has emotion, humour, sweet and tender scenes, a ‘clean’ romance, and great characters. I enjoyed the way the story was woven, even if it was a little predictable at times.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Copeland does next!

Thank you, Tricia Copeland!

And The River Runs Deep: The Cold Case Murder Mystery of Leah Marcus by A.J. Ullman – Review by Faith Jackson

And The River Runs Deep: The Cold Case Murder Mystery of Leah MarcusAnd The River Runs Deep: The Cold Case Murder Mystery of Leah Marcus by A.J. Ullman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Leah Marcus was a 17-yr-old wealthy, white, Jew descendant with a well-off family. She was a piano prodigy and aspiring pediatric neurosurgeon. Damon Allbright, all-star football who had a beautiful singing voice in the church’s choir as pastor’s son of one of Cincinnati’s biggest churches.
Leah was brutally killed during the 2001 race riots. Her death had a profound effect on the city during the summer and spring of that year. Suspicion fell on Leah’s boyfriend and matters turn worse when the cops find Leah’s DNA on Damon pinning the rape and homicide squarely on him.
Sexism, classism and racism all play a role in Damon’s trial. Local crime reporter of the Cincinnati Tribune decides to re-investigate the trial and discover the truth of the heinous crime.
I always enjoy a good read of true crime, mystery and unraveling of a character’s life. This book is no different as it has multiple layers. This is a gut-wrenching read considering what happened to Leah but to have her boyfriend accused is what breaks your heart as well. When I read or witness things like this in reality, we want justice to be served but not every time we get it. This is by far one of the best books that’s captured my imagination!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Be Brave With Me (Finding Love In Green Springs Book 1) by J.B. Havens (Goodreads Author), C.A. Miconi was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning with these two.

Following ;a tragedy in her life, Meg has sold everything and is looking for a new place to live. When she stops in a small town to rest she ends up getting more than she bargained for. She meets Nana at the hotel and she is very kind. Then she meets Drew, the first time she sees him she is completely rude and mean to him.

Meg isn’t the typical woman that Drew would fall for but there is something about her that draws him in. With the past tragedy he hasn’t been interested in moving on but Meg seems to spark something in him. Megs car breaks down and she ends up having to stay in town longer. Drew takes advantage of this and asks Meg out. You could feel their connection coming off the pages.

Can these two get past their tragic history and find happiness together?

“Sometimes, bein’ brave doesn’t mean not feelin’ fear. I think true bravery is when you feel the fear, own it, and do what scares you anyway” – Drew

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I had so many emotions during the read along with LOL moments. Meg was feisty and said what came to her mind and Drew was a hot as heck sweet man. The secondary characters were great. This was a great second chance romance that pulled at my heartstrings. I look forward to reading more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

Spouse Trap: Madeline Dawkins Mysteries by Cynthia Hamilton is the first book in her Madeline Dawkins series. I was not sure about this book when I first picked it up but wanted to give it a shot because I love detective books. This book did not disappoint, I was hooked from the beginning and was left wanting more. It is an interesting book and it follows Madeline Ridler who is married to a wealthy man and has her life thrown upside down. The way this woman grows throughout the book and overcomes everything thrown at her is amazing. I personally hated her character at first but loved her by the end of the book. I recommend this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While I could follow the story line as I began reading Arrows Tipped with Honey, I had so many questions about Mielitta’s character and what caused the current status at the beginning of the book. As a result, I quickly grabbed the first book (Queen of the Warrior Bees) in this series and dived into this world. I am glad I did. I found the character and “universe” development from the first book to provide a deeper appreciation and understanding of what was transpiring in Arrows Tipped with Honey. Throughout Arrows Tipped with Honey, the author did a superb job at developing the characters further and making them so complex that you feel you are right there with them in the midst of the action. While many questions you had from the first book are answered in this book, Arrows Tipped with Honey gives you many more questions and leaves you begging for another book to follow. You must grab Queen of the Warrior Bees (Book 1) and Arrows Tipped with Honey (Book 2) today (with a cup of coffee) and plan to not leave your reading spot for a long while.

This is a great story which kept me on the edge of my seat. There is action, suspense, romance, and lots of twists and turns. I have enjoyed this entire series and this did not disappoint. The main characters are always fantastic and interesting. There is a lot of character and story development and this helps to drive the story.

Humiliating RevengeHumiliating Revenge by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read from this author…but it won’t be the last. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster!

Calum and Olivia dated briefly back in high school, until Olivia dumped him in a public and humiliating way. Calum channeled his frustration and anger into training and now, years later, is an up-and-coming MMA fighter. Imagine his surprise when he goes out to celebrate his first professional win and the girl who was too good for him in high school is now the woman serving him his drinks. He decides that flaunting his success in her face and humiliating her, like she did to him, is going to be his revenge. However, there are feelings other than hate that they have and maybe things weren’t exactly as they seemed in their past.

This story has so many layers. I don’t want to give anything away because it was s shock to me and took me a minute to catch my breath when I understood what was happening. I found myself pulling for them each to come clean with each other…it was frustrating the way they would dance around what was really happening (but it made the book more dramatic…so I get why it was needed). I am glad the story took turns I didn’t see coming and ended much different than I was guessing. T. Christensen has a way with words that pulled me in and kept me engaged for the entire story… and I loved it!

Libby was a fantastic female lead! Strong, fierce and determined! I really enjoyed reading about her. I really liked Jake too, not knowing what he was thinking or going to do made for a very exciting read.
The story could be read as a standalone but with overlapping characters from the first two (and because they are also fantastic reads) I would highly recommend they are read in order!

I am so lucky to have found this novel by CA Miconi and JB Havens, both new to me authors that I have got to do some more reading of in the very near future! I loved this novel and how well it flowed and created this little town and characters that I found it very hard to deny myself the love for. I was only going to read a few chapters in the morning before some errands and ended up rescheduling a lot of my day to read this novel in one go because I just couldn’t pull myself away. The hardest part of the book was the ending because I just could never get enough of this. I found solace in the fact this is book one of a series and I am so excited to see what other love stories we get from Green Springs.

Meg has been running hard, long, and fast from the past demons of her life when she stumbles into the town of Green Springs and smack dab into the life of Drew. Both of these people have a delicate and sad past that has made them the people they are today. Drew sees the pain in Meg’s eyes the moment he meets her and he wants so badly to help heal the brokenness she feels. He will need her to ‘be brave’ with him and trust him enough to stay and try. But Meg has a deep and long past and trust and bravery are not her strong suit because of it. Will she be able to be brave and stay? Can these two be the pieces they need to put themselves back together? For that and the beautiful story these two have you will have to trust me and one click this novel today! You won’t be sad you took a trip to Green Springs. I can’t wait to go back!

Figure in the Flames (Hero High, #1-3)Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Who doesn’t love a box set for some binge reading? Personally, I adore box sets and when authors make them available. I rather be able to read all the books at once and I love the ease that it gives me to gift an amazing series to friends and spread joy. I have read and loved all the Hero High books and love following along as Friday finds her way in this unique world Mina Chara has invented. Below you will find my review for each individual book, but I highly recommend grabbing this box set asap to find out all about Hero High for yourself! Happy reading!

HERO HIGH: DENIAL (BOOK #1) ~

This was my first read for me by Mina Chara. I will say that it was a good book overall and I appreciated the concept by the time I had it finished but it did take me a bit to get into the flow of the story. I think a lot of that was because this is a new series and the first book so we got a bit of set up information that may just have been a bit on the heavy side. Otherwise, this book is a quick read with a lot of surprise action that will keep you guessing until the end.

Friday is our main gal and she is currently in a predicament of learning that she has powers that set her aside from the typical seventeen year old. When her father learns of this he sends her off to a school far away from the family. She finds herself in Hero High and facing the new life her magic has formed for her. This is a short read but I still found myself reading past my bedtime to find out how things would eventually play out for Friday. I look forward to getting my hands on the next Hero High novel, Anger.

HERO HIGH: ANGER (BOOK #2) ~

This is the second book in the Hero High series from Mina Chara and I would highly recommend that you read the first book in the series before you start with this one. This book does pick right up where we left off with book one and the characters continue on through as well as grow as you read. This is a young adult book so written towards that genre and I rather enjoyed it still. This series packs a punch and gives you lots of different story tidbits to please just about any reader. Everything from adventure, action, drama, mystery and suspense is thrown in to keep you on the edge of your seat reading to find out if the characters will make it through whatever task they are plagued with at the time. I look forward to seeing where the story will go next in the next book to come.

HERO HIGH: BARGAINING (BOOK #3) ~

This series has really taken off with this third installment of Bargaining, Hero High book #3. I have read the other books in the series up to this one and I would recommend that you do as well to understand and follow the progression of things with Friday and the supporting characters. In this one we find Friday in a new slew of complications. Her best friend, Jake, and their relationship is falling to pieces, while the rest of the world around her seems to also be falling more and more apart each day. She has made great strides on the show and the producers have placed her in the Gold team but she starts to wonder what it really takes to be a hero and if she is going about things in the right way. I love how things seem realistic even for a dystopian novel, things could be possible and that makes the allure of these reads that much more drawing. I look forward to seeing what we will get next in the latest and newest installment in the series. I will definitely be back to see what will take place.

Night Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 1) by India Kells – Review by Netania Lim

Night JusticeNight Justice by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a dark, romantic suspense about a reporter named Orla who is defending her city from being overtaken by a new illicit drug, and in doing so, encounters the Vigilante, who is essentially a criminal trying to bring about justice. The character development and the relationships were fleshed out and complex, and I really enjoyed all the drama. There was plenty of action, lots of romance, and this was definitely a page-turner.

Humiliating Revenge: Contemporary Young Adult Romance by T. Christensen – Review by Liz Vrchota

Humiliating RevengeHumiliating Revenge by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first, but certainly not last, read by T. Christensen and I am very much happy I stumbled upon this book. Humiliating Revenge is a deep and a bit dark young adult romance with lots of secrets, revenge, tension, and more. I think that this book has a bit of something for everyone with the amount of topics it covers, but should probably have a bit of a trigger warning for some with abuse. I don’t think the author struggled and it was written with a poetic ease and respect for the subject matter at hand. You can tell this is a topic close to the author’s heart as they write with a noticeable passion.

We find Calum Breen and Olivia in this novel, and watch as they work through some dark and scary past situations to find the light at the end of the tunnel. These two have a history but it is loaded with secrets that need to be known for the full story to be absorbed by everyone. Will the secrets come out and will these two find an ending of happiness? I won’t go into much more detail because this book has several twists and turns that you don’t want to have ruined for you before you find them out yourself! I can’t wait to see what will come next or what else is available from T. Christensen!

Night JusticeNight Justice by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have yet to come across a India Kells novel that I didn’t absolutely adore and devour and this one, Night Justice, is no exception to the rule. I do enjoy the way that India Kells can weave a deep and emotional, yet gripping story that has a clear and loud plot mixed in with the passion she writes so well. I sincerely love the suspense novels that she does and this one would have to be on the top of that list of favs.

In Night Justice, A Chicago Vigilantes Novel, we get to follow Orla, a determined reporter with a mission. She must find a way to stop the distribution of a new drug that is terrorizing Chicago while also searching for a Vigilante with his own ideas of justice at play in the city. These will develop a team that will be unstoppable if they can get over their feelings and insecurities. Will she be able to do all of this and find love in the process? This book will take you on a crazy ride through Chicago and bend your mind as you try to figure out all pieces of the puzzle and where they fit! I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series and any others that India Kells will grace us with soon!

How (Stalker Series Book 3) by Megan Mitcham – Review by Angela Shirley

How (Stalker Series, 3)How by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When you have cracked the greatest case of your career, will one photo crush all your dreams in one foul sweep.

Libby has been given the biggest case of her career it has taken her a year to get to this place, standing ready to breach the home of the suspect. Once they take stock of the haul they have discovered one of her chauvinistic colleague takes a unflattering picture and once this goes viral will her life be the same again.

Rocking up to the office the next day she is greeted by reporters and is then put on suspension by her boss due to the publicity may hinder her concentration and cause her to loose focus in her day to day job. With this ploy she is angry and frustrated with the boys club and goes home with her tail between her legs, but when strange things starts to happen to her she worries that the added attraction has caused her to have stalker who maybe dangerous. With the help of her handsome next neighbour they go on an adventure which they both could not have dreamed would of happen.
What happens when they find out who the stalker is, what is the motive behind it all and will they be able to find them? You will have to read the book to find out.

I have already read the other two books in this series and although the characters do weave through the book it can be read as a stand alone book. The story is gripping and twists and turns through the lives of Jake and Libby. I also love the character of Libby although at times I did feel her a bit helpless as she is supposed to be a bad ass FBI agent but I still enjoyed it greatly. The character of Jake who is mysterious and aloof is a great counter to Libby and the chemistry is brilliant between them.

I would recommend this story and the others in this series and can’t wait to read more by this author in the future.

Perfect by Tricia Copeland – Review by Liz Vrchota

PerfectPerfect by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read novels by Tricia Copeland before and loved them but this one has to take the cake and be my top favorite of hers. I love how Copeland gave this classic of a romance read and happily ever after and turned it around to something unique and different that we never knew we were missing. I loved how this book gives us a look at the complicated life that is dating as a young woman. We see the main character Chloe working through several different relationships and the emotions and changes in her that take place. I am not going to give the rundown of the relationships because I think that is where a lot of the character development is involved in this novel. It would just ruin too much of the plot but I can tell you that this book explores all of the issues that you could think of and makes you feel a little less insecure of the history you may have. I laughed and cheered for and with Chloe and I foresee a lot of others finding that within the pages of the novel. I look forward to seeing what we will see next from Tricia Copeland.
