THAT UNFORGETTABLE KISS (Kissed By Fate Book 1)
By Tamara Ferguson
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book THAT UNFORGETTABLE KISS (Kissed By Fate Book 1) by Tamara Ferguson. It is a wonderful romance book that had me hooked from the very beginning. I love the characters of Katie Callahan and Michael Murphy. Katie is a young woman who has always known that she will run the family business. She is smart, independent, and strong. She is surprised at the feelings that she has for Michael. Michael is a young man who has also had his future mapped out for himself. Then he meets Katie. Can a kiss be so unforgettable that even after time has passed the feelings that it brought out are still felt? What does the future hold for Michael and Katie? Read this book to find out. This story has not only romantic moments but also suspenseful moments when I wondered what would happen next. I grew to care about Michael and Katie with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. The author does an amazing job of making you feel the emotions of the characters and also making them come alive on the pages. I also enjoyed reading about many of the additional characters that interacted with Katie and Michael. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that you won’t be able to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

Pharaoh’s Forgery (Karina Cardinal Mysteries Book 4) by Ellen Butler – Review by Angela Hayes

Pharaoh's Forgery (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 4)Pharaoh’s Forgery by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

Pharaoh’s Forgery is the fourth book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series by Ellen Butler. WOW, this series just seems to get better with each new instalment- this is definitely one of my top two picks of the series, so far.
I love a riveting mystery- something Ms. Butler does incredibly well. I love that her stories always keep me wondering what will happen next- and expecting danger with every turn of the page. Her books are always full of suspense, drama, danger, intrigue, tension, action, and even a little adventure.
Her books are a definite ‘one-click’-no-questions-asked…. I don’t even have to read the burb because I just know I am going to love it. As expected, this story definitely didn’t disappoint.
Even though this is the fourth book in the series, it could be read as a standalone- without feeling like you are lost or missing anything. But having said that, I really do recommend reading the previous three books first, because not only would you be denying yourself some really great stories- there are some recurring characters that appear in each instalment, so having the character introductions/details, backstories, and other interesting information would really enhance your overall reading experience.
Karina Cardinal (K.C) has been through quite a lot recently and is in dire need of a vacation. She’s really looking forward to cocktails, blue skies, and the sunny beaches of Cancun- and having her sister with her for a girls get-away. But you know what they say about the best laid plans- as she discovers when her sister breaks a leg and has to cancel. Now it looks like K.C will be holidaying alone- until good friend and co-worker Rodrigo steps in to ensure she doesn’t have to cancel or go alone. But, if you have been following the series, you know that nothing is ever quite that simple and that K.C seems to attract trouble to her like a magnet- so, what should have been a simple favour for her elderly neighbour, turns quite dangerous- with K.C and Rodrigo caught in the middle. Their ‘adventures’ made for quite a gripping and engrossing read!
I can’t wait for more Karina Cardinal mysteries!

Thank you, Ms. Butler!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rock Star on the Verge (Rogue #9) by Lara Ward Cosio was a great 5 star read.
I was pulled in right from the beginning, love me some rock star reads and this one didn’t disappoint.

This is Conor’s story. He just had a big birthday and is dealing with the loss of his father. When the band starts discussing a new album he’s not quite sure if he’s ready for that yet.
He ends up going on a road trip with his godson Donal, who was also having some life issues himself. The relationship that these two build on their journey really tugs at your heart strings.

Will Conor and Donal find what they are looking for during their journey?

Overall this was a great read about finding yourself again. The author does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. I would love to see more from the characters. And I can’t wait to see what direction the author goes now. It can be read as a stand alone but suggest reading from the beginning. 1-click and get started today on this great read.

Love On The Ropes (Love In Action Book 1) by Aviva Vaughn – Review by Angela Hayes

Love On The Ropes (Love in Action, #1)Love On The Ropes by Aviva Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Love On the Ropes is the first book in the new Love in Action series by Aviva Vaughn. This book is a slow-burn, contemporary office romcom that’s set within the unpredictable world of radio.
I love Ms. Vaughn’s previous work, so there was no question that I would be reading this book. So, I happily one-clicked and jumped right in.
I loved meeting Clint and Erin and enjoyed the ‘frenemies’ dynamic between the two. Clint being a former Top Gun pilot, turned popular radio host really gave this story an extra element of intrigue. Then add Erin to the mix- and the story ignited.
This is a fantastic start to a new series- and I can’t wait to see where we go from here!

Thank you, Aviva Vaughn!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Self Made is the superb second instalment in the Freshwater series by Belinda Williams. It was such a fun read- with just the right amount of tension, drama, and spice to keep my interest elevated.
As with the first book, it is a contemporary romance- with endearing, relatable, and interesting characters- and a wonderful and fun storyline.
Having read the first book and enjoyed it a lot- I was really happy to dive into Self Made. This is Jessica and Ant’s story, meeting both as support characters back in book one. I was quite intrigued by them in the first instalment in this series- so it was great that they got their own book. Their story kept me entertained from beginning to end- And I love the humour, emotion, tension, and chemistry that Ms. William’s instils into each of her stories- it really makes for a wonderful read.

Thank you, Belinda Williams!

The Patience of Karma is the fifth intense instalment in the Madeline Dawkins series by the incredibly talented Cynthia Hamilton. I adore this series- and find myself excitedly awaiting the release of each new addition- anticipating what Maddie and Mike will encounter ‘this’ time. And with every book I wonder just how much Maddie and Mike can take, as Ms Hamilton tests them, thoroughly, each and every time.
Cynthia Hamilton definitely doesn’t disappoint with this book- delivering an edge of your seat mystery that had all the dramatic developments, emotive qualities, and surprising twists that I have come to expect from her creative mind. She definitely knows how to keep her audience clamouring for more- developing addictively clever stories with their own original webs of intrigue. I don’t think I will ever tire of reading one on her books- the bonus being that this series is one that you can happily go back and read over and over again.
Bring on Book #6, “House Of Deception”- I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!

Thank you, Cynthia Hamilton!

Hero High: Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High Collections Book 2) by Mina Chara is three books in one in this Young Adult fantasy series. It is fast paced, and a lot happens as we follow along with the students, future heroes and past heroes and villains who also happen to be on a television reality show as well. As this is the next three books in the series it would be remiss of me if I didn’t tell you to read the first three first. Friday grows in this collection and finds herself in situations and making tough decisions she would not have before. Whether you are young or old you will enjoy this series.

I loved reading the book That Incredible Kiss (Kissed By Fate 3) by Tamara Ferguson. It is a story that pulled me in right from the start and didn’t let me go until the final page. I loved the characters of Ashley Mitchum and Brian O’Neill. Ashley first comes across as a young girl who always wants things her way. She could be considered as selfish and self-centered. As the story progresses, she turns into a young woman who is strong and independent. She has never forgotten about Brian. Brian is a young man who has served his country. After an injury, he finds himself back in Crystal Rock. Much to his surprise, he has a meeting with Ashley. What does the future hold for Ashley and Brian? Will family secrets get in the way of their reuniting? Read this book to find out. This story has suspenseful moments as well as romantic ones. I grew to care about Ashley and Brian with each chapter that I read, and I couldn’t help but want them to find happiness. I also enjoyed the additional characters that are introduced. Most of them are helpful and friends with Brian and Ashley. Don’t miss out on a story that has mystery, danger, and romance. It is exciting and entertaining to read. I highly recommend it.

Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur

Tompkin's School For The Dearly Departed (Supernatural Trilogy #2)Tompkin’s School For The Dearly Departed by Tabi Slick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the continuation of the story of Kain and Izara as they continue their lives and the consequences which go with them, but we start with them on their summer holidays, Izara has chosen to stay with Lee at his home near the school in Oklahoma, but Kain has decided to go to New York and stay with his Aunt.

While Kain is in New York, he has been working as an intern at a music magazine as a journalist, or more accurately, as an errand boy, he was hoping that his would mean he could have a rest from the telepathy, but instead, they are still connected, but because of the distance between them, it is only through their dreams and these are becoming more scary and realistic at the same time. They are also changing in the way they view them, they are seeing them from each other’s points of view meaning that they don’t get as much rest as they would hope to. He has also been struggling to control his powers at the full moon.

Izara, however, has been enticed by her power and is finding it harder and harder to control it. The flames she can conjure are appearing more and more often and it is becoming harder to keep others from finding out about them. The more time that she spends with her friends, the harder she has to work to keep them and herself distracted from the truth.

As their powers become stronger and more unpredictable, their other hope of having time away from Choyce and his determination to get them to help him solve a problem didn’t happen either. He is intent on getting their help and gives them both a proposal, he will help them to get control of their powers, if they help him in return, so as they return to school and struggle to hide themselves from the teachers and the other students, Kain and Izara realise that they want the same thing but in different way, Izara wants to embrace what and who she is, but Kain only wants to do that so that he can live a normal life, graduate and continue his life.

The question is whether they can both get what they want and whether the price will be too high to pay. Will their dreams lead them to a solution and will they be able to make a deal to help each other, or will it all end in disaster?

The only way to find out is to go through the steps with them and make the same discoveries which they do.

Remember My NameRemember My Name by Laurencia Hoffman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This complex story was what I expected and not all at the same time. The author does a fine job weaving a layered story that is chock full of emotion and speculation. I expected to find a gripping story but wasn’t as prepared for the story to sit in, what I found to be, a prolonged sad place. This didn’t detract from the story, rather leant to that emotion’s authenticity. However it is something to be aware of if the reader struggles with that emotion themselves. An interesting read and one that left me pondering where the series might go next.

This puts Gant and his friends in a predicament, one that Gant’s magic sword, Valorius, will not solve. They need to stop the child from fulfilling the prophecy, but how? Killing the child might prevent the catastrophe but violates everything Gant believes in. And worse, the child will be born in a city ruled by a powerful demon.

This is the first book I’ve read by the author and I so hope it won’t be my last. The Perfect Outcast is amazing and I really hope there’s more. Hansen knows what to do to capture a reader’s attention.

Pira is a beautiful place while Carthem isn’t. Pira has no flaws, but one. Alina. She looks nothing like the other women in Pira. Now, Carthem isn’t exactly like Pira would like you to believe.

Alina, Jade, and Rex are thrown into Carthem and find challenges along the way. Alina is a hero to them. The quote I chose for Alina is: “I’ll pack my bag so it’s ready for Jade to take, and then let’s go.”

The book was just as exciting and action packed as I found the first one to be and it was so easy to slip right back into this world – almost like you never left off.

I was fully engaged with Richard and the temptations he faces yet again. The series does go fully into what some consider a taboo topic so my only recommendation would be to make sure you are happy reading this type of book before you start.

This was a great young adult book. It keeps the reader guessing. It is full of adventure.

Alina is very relatable for young women who may struggle to fit in with their peers. Her fight to fit into a perfect world when she is anything but perfect can feel like a struggle most teenagers go through.

The world Alina lives in is perfect, even the people are perfect, created by one man using science instead of nature meaning that everyone of them is flawless and immortal apart from Alina.

Alina was a mistake, she is not flawless and perfect like the rest of the people around her and she questions why that is the case. Alina sets out to discover why this happened to her but what she finds will shock her. The perfect world shows itself as less than perfect and their creator isn’t some powerful god but a man set on ruling over the people he creates. Will Alina differences mean that she cant survive? Or will her findings make her stronger and more confident in the person she is?

Hero High:: Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High Collections Book 2) by Mina Chara – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur

Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High, #4)Heartbreak Rebellion by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the next stage in the story of Friday Fitzsimmons, as she prepares to re-enter the life of Icon City and her second year at Hero High. In the prologue we recap over why Hero High was founded and how the Hero’s and their opposing villains came to receive their powers.

We then join Friday as she recovers from some injuries and tries to get her life back in some semblance of order. She is in her room in the dorms when Ashley comes to her window to see her, although they aren’t supposed to, they still enjoy spending time together. They decide to visit the Hero Museum and Friday shows off her knowledge of Hero trivia, through this they learn more about each other as well.

As the story moves on, we join her at her 18th birthday party where she catches up with friends and is surrounded by celebrations, as well as the fans of the Hero Channel who have followed her story from the beginning. Veronica appears and leads her away from the party and into the mall to pick out a few bits and pieces of her choice from both her own merchandise, those of her team and the other Heroes and villains. Friday does this and when finished she sees that Veronica is joined by someone else, she is then introduced to Luke, a student at Hero High. Friday finds out that they will be working together a lot during the season and is led to the offices to sign her new contract. After she signs it, she is given her new clothing requirements and her lines for the next week.

What she doesn’t realise is that the filming for the first scene has already begun at the party, as her teammates run towards her, they see that one of the villains has appeared at the top of the party’s ferris wheel. As they go to stop the villain, they realise that they are being filmed and that it is all just a set up. As Friday finds the device that the villain has hidden, it is apparent that Luke knew it was a set up from the start and continues with his lines as though Friday was doing the same. This leads to an argument with Veronica about it and the realisation that she and Luke are meant to be love interests this season.

The next day, Friday goes to try and visit Jake in prison with Captain Fantastic, as usual, she is refused, but she does hear something that doesn’t seem quite right, this is where she and the Captain discover the biggest secret that the Hero TV channel has. They are both shocked and in disbelief that this is actually happening and as they learn about what has been happening, they make a decision together to investigate what is really happening.

What will this revelation mean for her, the Captain and the school? Who is behind it all and how will it affect their lives? What about Luke and Ashley, how will this affect their relationships, both working and personal? Can Friday keep up with the demands of the show, the fame, the power and the stardom and all the while keep her integrity in place, or will she comply with the way her life has been mapped out for the season?

The only way to find out what happens is to read on and let your emotions go on this latest whirlwind ride through Icon City.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finding His Zen by Tammy Mannersly is a captivating romance story that is sweet and has a little drama thrown in. The chemistry is sparking, and it is easy to become invested in the characters and their journey. The story flowed nicely, and I found myself invested in the outcome. It is a small-town romance that is an easy feel good read that delights and makes for a nice afternoon read.

The Saint Of Liars (Lucky Devil Book 2) by Megan Mackie.

This is the second book in the Lucky Devil series and it is another great addition. We pick up with a Rune the main character, Rune finds herself drawn into a war between corporations, everyone wants her for her powers of finding lost things. I really enjoyed reading this book, I love Rune her character is so relatable and you feel instantly drawn to her. We see a few characters from book one including Saint Benedict. We also have some new characters to get to know and I think they added a lot to this story. Really looking forward to the next instalment. I would definitely recommend reading.
