Eat Me by Amber Dark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Eat Me by Amber Dark is the quick, hot, steamy read you’ve been looking for. It’s not a romance story, but Mayim leaves women feeling great about themselves and more confident. You can easily read this story in one sitting, but watch where you sit. This is one of those books you’d rather read alone. *Warning: this book contains lots of steamy scenes.

This story is HOT and I mean HOT, I loved this story from the first page. The interaction between the two characters is great and the writing is brilliant as it weaves through the story of Mayim and the history behind Summer. I loved that they explored the hidden desires within Summer and the dirty talking from Mayim had me fanning myself on more than one time lol.
If you are not afraid of erotica in your books and love a good story I would recommend this story and can’t wait to read more in this series or more by this author.

Spring’s Calling by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is an urban fantasy about a Boston police detective named Ezri, so it’s a crime drama with magic added. From a child, Ezri has known that she was prophesied to be the Savior of the magical community against the Order of Samael, but she’s also got a complicated personal history, stemming from her mother’s murder. Although the plot was a bit heavy on the prophecy element, I really enjoyed the magical elements and the pacing of the entire novel. Ezri’s backstory was weaved in well, and the minor characters were also well-developed. I loved the crime detective element because it seemed so unique.

Girl Trap by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Girl Trap by Cynthia Hamilton a four-star read that will trap you between the pages. This is number three in the Madeline Dawkins series and they can be read as stand-alone, but I have read them and loved them as a series, as they do each focus on a different story, but I have loved the build of the characters. Madeline and Mike are working together but focusing on different cases and what will happen in those will keep you hooked, but what will happen? Will they race against time and manage to solve the mysteries in time? Or will history come a knocking and knock something loose. I enjoyed this one, not as much as the first two, but I am glad I read it, as it does have some good drama and suspense and has left me awaiting number four.

A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Beck O’Roarke owns a beachside bookshop, Beach Reads, with her feisty, yet lovable, Grandmother. Beck has always loved books, mysteries in particular, and when a murder takes place on her doorstep she can’t help but get involved. As she gets started in her investigation, Beck not only digs up clues but also starts to piece together answers. It doesn’t hurt that this also allows her to hopefully impress the towns new, very handsome, detective. But as she gets closer to the answers she also gets closer to danger, and when it comes down to it things aren’t as they seem at all.
A Book Signing to Die For is an easy to read cosy mystery. The plot is well thought out and I enjoyed that there were a few surprises along the way. The author has created a wonderful set of characters which really bring the story to life. If you are looking for a cosy book to get stuck into I would definitely recommend this.
Night Justice by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Night Justice by India Kells a five-star read that will bring justice to the story. This is number one in the Chicago Vigilantes novels and if you have read the women of Purgatory series you will see come characters pop up, but I will be clear and say that you don’t need to have read that series, its just an added extra like seeing an old friend in passing not your bestie after missing each other for 10 weeks, a nice bonus but not a major working part. Orla Karlsen is a very determined character and that can sometimes be a little bit of a flaw for her, when you throw in amazing chemistry and a Vigilante in the form of an Angel, well you have a winning story. It is very quick paced and will keep your adrenalin pumping and your heart a racing, if you like a dark suspenseful romance then you won’t go wrong with this story or this author.

Eat Me by Amber Dark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Eat Me by Amber Dark a steamy and sweet five-star read. This is number one in the Mayim Merman series and it shows us promise for a great series, this packs a punch and has a great story even though its only a limited number of pages. This is a great read for anyone who struggles with confidence issues, as it will just fill you as you read. I adored this story as its Mermen who we hardly ever hear from, its usually just Mermaids, and I was so impressed with the level in this one, it was kept nice and steady and hot all the way through, there was a strength to the story that shone through the Merman. This is an easy one to put yourself in, as haven’t we all been dumped and wished a hottie would make all of our dreams come true.

RELIC HUNTERS: EAGLE OF THE EMPIRE
When his brother mysteriously disappears, sixteen-year-old Adam Hunter discovers that the myths and legends he was told as a boy have more truth to them than he ever thought possible.
To free his brother, Adam must uncover the truth about the lost Roman Ninth Legion and find its fabled Eagle Standard, an artefact of mysterious mythical power. Adam calls on the help of the British Museum, a team of quirky Relic Hunters, skilled in recovering and protecting relics around the world.
However, they need to act fast for they are not the only ones searching for the relic. To save the life of his brother, Adam and his allies will face an immortal tyrant who seeks to claim the Eagle of the Empire for himself, and with it, bring the world to its knees.
I live in Norwich, England and am currently working on the young adult adventure and historical series ‘Relic Hunters’. Inspired by the myths and legends my parents told me as a boy and with the help of my ever-suffering wife, a teacher and history graduate, ‘Eagle of the Empire’ was the first entry in the ‘Relic Hunters’ series.
When not writing, I am training or at least planning my next challenge. Following a serious knee injury, I was told by surgeons never to run or play sports again. Stubborn and reckless, much like the characters in my writing, I have not listened and have completed the Three Peaks Challenge, the Great North Run, the Greater Manchester Marathon and the London Marathon.

Night Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 1) by India Kells
Oh this series is one that I will be waiting impatiently for the next book to release. I have been a fan of Ms. Kells for a while now and now I’m a bigger fan because of this book. She nailed the darker suspense perfectly.
Orla has no fear and I love that about her. She has seen so much as an investigation journalist, including war so the streets of Chicago should be easy. Should be, but aren’t though the Vigilante is doing his part in making them safer.
We get to know the members of the this group and I’m so excited about this series.
Forgotten Chance: Book Three by Virginia Wine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was so excited for this book and it did not disappoint. I was turning pages so fast to see what would happen next to Bryer and Nathan. Its the wedding we’ve been waiting for! Of course with these two nothing ever seems to go to plan.
Read this series! It’s so good! I can’t get my thoughts to process coherently but I urge you to get these
Tangled Fates is the second book in Denise Young’s Tangled Magic Series and a solid 4 star read, in my opinion. I did not read book one in the series (Tangled Roots) and while I was able to enjoy this book without having read it, I wish i had read the series in order. I am someone that loves witches and other paranormal elements and I was really drawn to the synopsis for Tangled Fates, even though my usual genre is more of the psychological thriller type. I am really happy I branched out, this book was a quick read with great characters that you feel as though you know personally. I really enjoyed how the author alternated perspective throughout the storytelling. Overall, this was a really fun, engaging read. It won’t be the last I read of Denise Young.
Deleted by Ruth Mitchell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is my first novel by Ruth Mitchell. Set just a few years into the future, Deleted is a fascinating exploration of how new technology changes (or will change) the way we see each other and the world around us, it’s a fun/funny read too. The characters are realistic and I cared and wondered about each of them.I loved their love story and how bound together they were throughout this twisty, fast-paced, future-set novel.
Tangled Fates by Denise D. Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Tangled Fates (Tangled Magic Series: Book 2) by Denise D. Young was a great paranormal read. I loved the blurb and the story definitely did not disappoint, I did not want to put the book down. I also loved the pacing, it was fast paced but did not skimp on any of the details. I loved reading about Vi and Aiden, they were wonderful characters and I felt so invested. I was sorry for the story to end, I cannot wait to read more of the series!
Forgotten Chance: Book Three by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Forgotten Chance by Virginia Wine was a great finale to the Forgotten series. I enjoyed following Bryer’s and Nathan’s romantic journey to this conclusion. This book was very suspenseful, steamy, and sweet! I won’t lie, I cried during some of it! My only complaint for this novel is the fact that along with the others, the timelines and time itself during the story are never really determined. The author just skips from one scene to another with no clear perception of the scene changing, or who is saying what, so I was a little confused. But other than that this was a great novel! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series!

Tangled Fates by Denise D. Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is my first read from this author, and not knowing what to expect I couldn’t wait to dive in. This was a brilliant paranormal romance read that was captivating from the very beginning. With this being Book 2 in the series I expected to feel as though I missed out on somethings but this wasn’t the case, it flowed effortlessly and I enjoyed every bit of it. It’s a mental visual read that transports you into this world and makes you believe you are there alongside the characters and you are following their journey with them. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and can’t wait to go back and read book 1 and then see where the rest of the series goes!

I think I am yet to read a book by this author that I haven’t loved. Her writing is as captivating as always and I was hooked from beginning to end. There was plenty of action from the very start. The characters in the story were great. I really liked Orla, she was strong, determined and wasn’t going to back down. I really enjoyed reading about her. I loved that there was a little romance in the story too. When Orla and The Vigilante meet their connection and chemistry was undeniable!
Night Justice is a fantastic 5 star read, it has some darker romance elements to it which I loved! I am really excited to read the next book in the series!

A Book Signing to Die For by Judy Moore is a fun, fast paced story that has been very well written. For me the highlight of this book is Beck. I found her to be such a lovable and interesting character.

Forgotten Chance: Book Three by Virginia Wine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Forgotten Chance is the thrilling final instalment in the Forgotten Trilogy by Virginia Wine. I have been gripped by Bryer and Nathan’s story so far and was excited to see how their story concluded. Virginia Wine truly saved the best till last. I absolutely loved this third and final book in the series.
Nathan and Bryer have declared their love for each other and are now planning their wedding. As devoted as they are to each other, Bryer’s ex Cash is determined to split the couple up. As the book progresses we learn that there’s more to it than just wanting Bryer back.
This book will take you on a twisting and turning journey with many surprises along the way that you are not expecting. It’s fast paced and full of drama and will keep you gripped.
I also loved that we get more of the love/hate relationship between Bryer’s best friend Gen and Nathan’s best friend Clayton. The interactions between them added a great comedy element to the books.
Added to that, the addition of a few characters from Virginia Wine’s Surviving Series was an added bonus. These were the books that first introduced me to this author and it was great to see them again.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and the series as a whole and would 100% recommend it.
Winter’s Wolf by Lou Grimes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Louvette has been kicked out of many schools for fighting. She doesn’t start the fights, but she isn’t going to be anyone’s punching bag. After getting kicked out of the most recent school, an attorney arrives saying that she is the beneficiary of her grandfather’s estate since her father is presumed dead. Louvette has never met or even known the name of her father or grandfather, as her mother does not talk about them at all. Once they move into the Blackwood mansion (which is now her new last name thanks to stipulations of the will), Louvette’s life changes in ways she never thought of. She has vivid dreams that she can’t seem to shake. She caught the attention of Arsen on her first day in town, and he is determined to guide her through all these changes. As she learns more about her past, Louvette must decide who she can trust and who she can’t. The story ends on a bit of a cliffhanger…as there are many questions that have no answers yet.
I found myself drawn into the story and want to read the next book when it comes out to get more of the story. I enjoyed watching Louvette learn about her past and who she really is. Her friendship with Cara is great to read and her relationship with Arsen is full of potential. Like I said, I enjoyed the story and am looking forward to the next book.
Boundaries by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This started out great then got a bit slow so I struggled with this one. The story is different. I haven’t read one like this before. I liked the idea of her job and her being positioned by the morgue. The story doesn’t really elaborate on it. It takes more of an evil turn. The characters are ok. They just didn’t seem to jump off the pages at me. Not sure why but I couldn’t connect with the story or the characters. Overall It just left me with an unsettled feeling.
Deleted by Ruth Mitchell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is outstanding! It’s a suspenseful thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat and Turing pages late into the night. The flow and way the story was told made it easy to follow along. The story is so different that it intrigued me. Futuristic and not all at the same time. The ending was a shock! Not what I expected to happen at all. But in a way so perfect. The characters are realistic and I cared and wondered about each of them. Nick, Marco and Lucy are smart. Like impressively smart. Each of the secondary characters were excellent. They each played their parts perfectly. Not too much or too little.
I was a little confused at first getting the story set up. BUT HANG IN THERE! Your socks will be blown off! This is a first time author for me. I loved this and will be recommending to others as well as keeping any eye on this author.
New Jerk in Town by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m a huge Sylvie Stewart fan. All of her books are full of humor and heart. Once I start reading one of her books, I have a difficult time trying to put them down. Plus I’m always a sucker for second chance, enemies to lovers type of books. I absolutely loved reading about Jill and Milo. Jill is one of the spunky and hot heated female characters that really grabs your attention. Milo on the other hand is kind of grump but underneath it all he has the biggest heart of gold. I loved how they navigated through their past to get over their hard feelings but is it enough to give their future a try?
Sylvie Stewart is definitely one of my favorite One-click authors. All of her stories are different and bring a whole lot of heart to the table.

Tangled Fates by Denise D. Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I give Tangled Fates (Tangled Magic Book 2) by Denise D. Young, 5 stars.
This is such a wonderful example of Paranormal Romance! I do not see fox shifters often in books, so I was really happy to see one here. Not to mention that Vi is also pretty unique. All of the characters in this story are good — they feel very real and relatable. This made a great story even more magical for me. I cannot wait to see more of these characters.
This is my first book in this series and I did not feel lost at all. The author lightly goes over what happened previously and even though I want to go back and read book one, I understood enough that it is not technically needed. Some authors do not do too well in this. This story itself grabbed me in the beginning of the book and I could not put it down until I was finished.
If you are a fan of Paranormal Romance with magical creatures and a story woven into the most captivating story, this book is for you.
A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A Book Signing to Die For: Beach Reads is a fabulous cosy mystery by Judy Moore. I have read many of Ms. Moore’s books now- so I know what I’m in for with one of her stories. I really enjoy a great mystery, and this definitely fits that bill and is one of my favourite reads of hers.
Jumping into the story, there’s interesting and somewhat quirky characters, murder, intriguing mystery, danger, suspense, drama, discovery, and some surprising developments. And as usual with one of Judy Moore’s books I spent much of the time trying to predict the outcome before anything was revealed. But Ms. Moore once again twisted and turned the plot and kept me guessing the whole way through.
‘A Book Signing to Die For’ is an incredibly detailed, descriptive, and really well-woven. Ms. Moore had no problem building the suspense and tension- and had me anticipating what was yet to come.
I loved the bookstore setting, it really added to the atmosphere of the whole story. I’m pretty sure we met some of these characters in one of Ms. Moore’s previous books- ‘Somebody in the Neighborhood’.
I wonder what Judy Moore has planned for us next?
Thank you, Judy Moore!

Winter’s Wolf by Lou Grimes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Winter’s Wolf is the first book in The Cursed series and debut novel for Lou Grimes. This story sets the series off to a great start- and is definitely a series I will be following closely.
The book is so much more than just a paranormal young adult werewolf story- there is a bit of drama, murder, mystery, suspense, action, adventure, the paranormal, shifters/werewolves, self-discovery, family, friendship, romance, and more.
The world building is richly detailed, and Lou Grimes has a very descriptive and dynamic style to her writing. If this book is anything to go by, the rest of the series is set to be great.
And did I mention….. WEREWOLVES!!! #winning #youhadmeatwerewolf
Can’t wait to see what happens from here.
