LOVED this book!! I absolutely adore historical romance and I haven’t found a good one to read for a while so when I came across this I grabbed it and settled down. It had everything I love in a historical romance, romance obviously, but also great characters, wonderful descriptive language, a great setting and great plot. This is also an author who is new to me and I just loved her writing style. I felt like I was right there with the characters, her wonderful detailed writing meant that I was easily able to imagine what I was reading. I love a strong heroine in these kinds of stories and Maggie definitely fulfilled that! She was such a great character to read about. I would absolutely recommend this book and I am really looking forward to more to come from this author in the future!!

The 3rd book in the series i would highly recommend reading the others before this so you get a better chance of the background. The characters are all very well developed I very much like Miles and Belle. I love how family pays a major part in the story. I would highly recommend this series it has alot going for it.

This is the story of Brek O’Brien, he is born and raised in Kilkenny, Ireland, but decides to get on a boat to New York City to start a new life. This new life is a start from scratch, he has the clothes on his back, a little bit of money, but no plan or idea what he will do when he gets there apart from, find something to eat, find somewhere to lay his head on a night and then find work.
It is 1926 and this new life involves being on a boat for weeks, a trial in itself to survive, but a friendship is formed through this shared experience. As Brek and his friend arrive in New York City, their next trial is about to begin, they have to pass the entry tests and when this is finally over and done with, they have to face the next round of hardship and find somewhere to stay for the night and work out what the next few days will hold and how carefully they will have to spread their combined wealth.
The prospect of finding work seems to be out of their reach, until a man gives them an offer they can’t refuse in the city of Detroit. As the pair get sucked into a life of booze, pistols and women, they keep the booze and drug supplies flowing by going out on supply and delivery runs, while also keeping the competition in check with his persuaders. It is on one of these days where the competition needs to be reminded of their place when Brek catches sight of a beautiful woman in an outdoor market, his heart and breath are stolen away. This could be the beginning of something beautiful, if only life was as simple as Brek wishes it could be, be with his woman and keep doing his runs.
Soon Brek and his friend realise that the work they accepted is a different sort to what they initially expected it to be, but there seems to be nowhere to escape the bloody path which fate has in store for them. Will the only thing standing between Brek and Gabriella be the one thing which will break them apart? Or will life be as simple as they both would like it to be?
This is a tale of Irish cheek, friendship, love, life, death, disappointment, regret and discovery all set in a background of 1920’s Detroit. A snapshot of an exciting and dangerous life which draws you in until you’re as immersed in the characters’ fates as much as they are.
This book was everything and more! As soon as I got started with this read I couldn’t stop myself from being captivated with this read until the very end! This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish and I didn’t want it to end! These characters were amazing to follow and I loved seeing them grow throughout and seeing whether they can overcome their past and move forward into their future. But will their lack of trust sets them off track. Harleigh and Giovani made this a beautiful read that really gives you all the feels, the ups and downs that make this read everything it is and more! I can’t wait to read more books from this author, but until then I highly recommend this book!

I have read a few books by this author now so I never hesitate to pick up one when I see them and as soon as I read the synopsis for Kismet Heart I knew I wanted to dive right in. It was as I expected a great read, full of action, emotion and more! The beginning of the story grabbed my attention straight away and it was held the entire way through. I loved Malorie, I really felt for her after everything she went through and she was such a great character to read about – I loved the banter between her and Ace! Ace was also a great character, the connection between him and Malorie, there was an instant attraction even if she was intent on fighting it! As always a great read by this author and I look forward to more in the future!!

I really enjoyed this book – who doesn’t love a forbidden romance read! It had humour and it was entertaining throughout. I have read a few books by this author so I knew I would enjoy it! She had a great writing style that captures your interest from the very beginning, she creates great characters and enjoyable plots and Love Surreptitiously definitely ticked all the boxes on that front! I loved the characters, they made me laugh. Especially Sidney bless her! There was a good amount of chemistry between her and Quinlan, their first meeting was funny! It may have been a little predictable what was going to happen but I didn’t care at all, I loved what I was reading. I think maybe because it was a shorter read it felt a little rushed at times but I didn’t really have a huge impact on the story overall and I would definitely recommend it to other readers!

This is the second book in this series. I enjoyed this book as much as the first one. This story is full of action and paranormal characters. One of the things I enjoy most about this author is her ability to pull me in right from the beginning. Her attention to details made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. I had no problems connecting with the characters. They kept the story engaging and turning pages. This is a story about Rhett and Peter. They find themselves in a case together. They also find themselves putting their relationship on hold as they go on a case in the suburbs. The story takes on a mystery and suspense aspect from here and is hard to put down. I won’t say much more about this book as I highly recommend picking it up. This is a great story that has strong characters that you don’t want to miss.

I give Eagle of the Empire (Relic Hunters) by Martin Ferguson, 5 stars.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I was blown away. Since the character was is still a teen, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But this book is truly for all ages. The author takes the idea of the Indiana Jones movies and makes his on take on the action/adventure genre. There is also some supernatural thrown in for good measure.
The cast of characters is exceptional too. They are all have their own unique personalities and I quickly came to love each and every good guy. They felt so real, even the bad guys. I felt like I was thrown in this story right there with them.
I could not put the book down and highly recommend this book to anyone who likes stories of adventure with a wonderful story and great characters.

I give Curse of the Sands (Relic Hunters), 5 stars. **This review may contain spoilers from book 1.**
This book pics up after book 1 and puts the crew on a brand new adventure. It is just as good as the first, if not better. We learn much more about everyone on the team, as well as some new characters. There are more to love, as well as some new ones to hate.
Then there is the story. While still an adventure with supernatural tones, we are now into Egyptian mythology and history. This book, just like the first, actually has two complete stories in it — one of the past and one set in the present. While other books flash back to the past to tell another story, the author does this so well, it could easily be two different books. I was so enthralled by both stories.
This story and the characters were so captivating, I could not put the book down. If you are a fan of action/adventure with a wonderful story and characters, this book and series are for you.

I LOVED Tidal Love, by KM Lowe. It exceeded all expectations and I find myself almost at a loss for words. Right off the bat, the writing is intense and intriguing, captivating. I don’t think I was anticipating how much depth the characters would have. I really was hooked from the first page. The storyline was exciting, the kind that you can’t wait to get back to in between the mundane life tasks. The subject matter is at times dark but extremely well written. If I had to, I am not sure I could pinpoint anything I disliked about this novel. 5 out of 5 stars, must read.

Better To Have Loved by Christy Nicholas – Review by Gail Guerrero
Four stars
Better to Have Loved was a good read. The story flowed nicely though you do have to get used to the timeframe jumps. I really enjoyed the characters especially Julie. Her adventures and journey through life are interesting. I found the story to be emotional and beautiful. The author really put a lot of thought into this book. The fact that it’s based off her parents makes it even more wonderful. The emotions you will feel will have you sitting up reading all night. The story doesn’t drag on. It’s a very original plot and the author executes it phenomenally. I recommend you pick this up if you’re looking for a smooth read that is beautifully written.

I enjoyed this romance-suspense story. This is a story that pulled me in right from the beginning. It is full of romance and action. I had no problems connecting to the characters as they brought the story to life. This is a well developed story that has details that made me feel as if I was part of the story. This is a fast paced, engaging story that I had a hard time putting down. This is a story about Malerie who has a past but has escaped death a few times. Is it luck or has her luck just run out? Ace is a body guard with one mission, protecting Malerie. As feelings are building so is her safety. Will he lose more than just his heart in this assignment? I enjoyed their chemistry as well as watching them grow throughout the story. They made great characters as they made the story easy to read. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this story. This is one of my favorites by this author. One of the things I love most about this author is her ability to pull me into her story with her amazing writing skills and attention to details. Her characters are connectable which makes the story easy to read. This is a story about Sarah. Her whole world is about to turn upside down when she learns that she has special abilities. She cannot control these abilities and is making a ton of mistakes. For her things will never be the same again for her. I won’t say too much more about her story so that you pick up this book. She made such a great, strong character. She brings the story to life and made it entertaining for me. I highly recommend this book and this author.
Grosse Pointe by Natalie Barnes was a good 4 star read. This is a historical mafia romance set in the 20’s. It took a bit to get used to the irish dialect. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing.
This is Brek’s story, he uses his memories of Gabriella to help him get through some difficult times. We get a mixture of prohibition and mafia danger. When Brek was 15 he traveled to the US, he gets involved in the alcohol and drug scene. The relationship he has with Gabriella is a huge emotional rollercoaster.
Can these two geta HEA?
Overall this was a good read, all of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. We get danger, mafia and so much more. If you’re looking for a historical romance with Irish dialect this is the book for you. 1-click and get started today.
Tidal Love was such a good book. Its my first time reading KM Lowe, but I can’t wait to read more. I didn’t want to put it down- literally… read the entire book within 24 hours. I liked that it was more than just a romance story. The story has its fair share of drama, and each character has a background heartbreaking story. While the story tells about Harleigh and Giovanni, we also learn about their brothers and parents. The story is quite graphic and emotional, and might be a sensitive topic, as it has physical, verbal and sexual abuse. But Harleigh breaks free, and her family sends her on a trip to Bulgaria, so she has time to find herself and relax. The little town is pretty magical and the author does an amazing job of describing it. We experience it along with the characters. Both Giovanni and Harleigh have heartbreak in their past, and make them hesitant to trust and love again. But they have an instant attraction and I loved watching their vacation romance blossom. The end of the book turned out somewhat what I expected, although I wasn’t sure of the details. For some it may catch off guard. Highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read more by Lowe. Wonderful author!

Bishop’s Gambit (Redclaw Origins Book 2) By McKenna Dean 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Bishop’s Gambit (Redclaw Origins Book 2) by McKenna Dean. It is a story that includes mystery and danger. It is a book that had me hooked from the very beginning. I loved the characters of Rhett Bishop and Peter Knight. Rhett is a woman who is intelligent and independent. She is not the type you would think of posing as a housewife. However, that is what her current assignment is. I love that Rhett is someone that takes action when she needs to and can defend herself when need be. I also love her little dog. Peter is a man who at times gets caught up in his work. He does have feelings and an attraction to Rhett. What will Rhett and Peter find in the suburbs? What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. This story had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. There are twists to the story that I didn’t see coming. The author does an amazing job of making both the story and the characters come alive. I found myself caring about Rhett and Peter with each chapter that I read. Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining story that I was not able to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading this book.

The Spicetopia Series by Phoebe Alexander is a collection of four stories following the characters who are involved in the theme park, Spicetopia and are a great read for those who like a bit of spice in there story.
Sugar and Spice – This is the first book in the series and follows Cy and Jolie. Cy is the Heir to the Spicetopia franchise but when a suggestion that Cy becomes a undercover boss in the theme park, what could go wrong?
Jolie is a single mother working two jobs to make ends meat, but when a new employee catches her eye will she be able to resist this fascinated character.
This story is full of romance and passion. I love the character of Jolie she was strong and Independent which is a challenge for any man. With them both having their secrets it makes a great read. You just are willing these two people along and hoping that when these secrets are revealed it will not end in disaster.
Virtue and Vice – This follows the relationship of Moon and Katja, there story weaves and you get to see the history of there love and there passion which drives them. This is a seriously steamy story and is full of action, although this does not distract from the beautiful story of these two great characters.
Fire and Ice – This story involves Neve and Enya is a story of opposites attract.
Neve is the head of security for Spicetopia but when he has to follow the Head of Media on a press tour he is not happy but will Enya get under the skin of this gruff man.
Enya is the Media guru within Spicetopia but when they insist she has security with her will she be able to survive working with Neve the grumpy security man.
This story is full of action, with twists and turns it is a great story. These two characters are brilliant together and secretly this was my favourite story. They leap off the page and you will be hurrying to read each page to see find out what happens.
Naughty and Nice – This story follows Natalie a wedding planner but when Micah arrives Natalie finds herself wanting more.
Natalie has been hired to arrange a wedding and as she is planning the service in comes Micah but he is a man of the cloth and she should not be having these feeling regarding him but oh boy.
Micah is the offciate who will marry the two lovely people but when he decides to arrive a few days early to get the lay of the land will he be able to be professional or will a certain wedding planner be a distraction.
This book was lovely, as this book is about the characters in the story and that Micah although he is a man of the cloth but he is a hot blooded male he tries to resist the beautiful siren in Natalie. These two have a great relationship with each other and its a great lovely story of battling head over heart.
This is a great series and really enjoyed reading each story with each one having a different theme and relationship. I have read many Phoebe Alexander books and I love this unique topic and love the world she has created.

Spicetopia Boxed Set (Books 1-4) by Phoebe Alexander. I loved loved loved these books. Seriously this author just gets to me. Each story has characters you can’t help root for and each of the stories took a piece of my heart when I was done. I love when authors come out with box sets I just think it’s a great way for new readers to be introduced to amazing authors. And who doesn’t love having books you love all in one go? Each story pulled me in and my only complaint is that all good things have to end. And these stories will have you so sad at the end of your time with each character. But the good news is they are just as good the second time you read them. I’m giving this box set five big stars and highly recommend you going to add it to your reading list.

Spicetopia Boxed Set (Books 1 – 4) by Phoebe Alexander
This boxed set contains four wonderfully addictive books. Who would have thought an adult theme park would have so much going on. Each of these books tells us a story of different couples each time. We do get to see some of the couples from the first books in the later ones. I loved each of these stories and loved all the couples involved. These books are romantic, sexy, fun, and have some drama. This author makes the adult theme park come to life so much so that I feel like it could be a real place. I was so excited to see all these wonderful stories in a boxed set. This author is truly a talented writer and I can’t get enough of this series. This is a must read, you will not be disappointed!

Iris is the newcomer in close-knit Salvation, West Virginia. It’s a small town, and she’s finding out that the townspeople don’t view outsiders with a favorable eye. She just wants to fit in and graduate from Salvation high, but there’s something about her that the other students just don’t get. Then she meets the mysterious Mr. Anu — also an outsider — who offers her an opportunity she can’t pass by.
Things in Salvation aren’t as sleepy as they seem, and the residents are quick to protect their own. What will Iris do, when she ends up in opposition with the townspeople, and more importantly, the formidable Sheriff Stone?
Things take a turn for the worse and Iris finds herself dropped out of school, homeless, and exposed when Sheriff Stone arrests her father.

East Beach: Red Farlow Mysteries: #3 by W.F. Ranew. I love a good mystery and this story definitely delivered in spades! This author has a way of having readers on the edge of their seats at least I know I was. The details are all well developed and the storyline is smooth, interesting and engaging. The characters are complex and relatable pulling you into their world. I definitely was happy to get lost for a few hours in the intriguing story. I found myself trying to read both faster and slower but I just had to know what would happen next. I’ll definitely be looking into more from this author. Four stars and highly recommended.
Spicetopia Boxed Set by Phoebe Alexander is book 1-4 in the worlds of Spicetopia – a remote island in the Caribbean where all your wildest, sexy dreams come true. I highly recommend this series my naughty BookNerds.
Sugar & Spice
Sugar & Spice doesn’t even begin to describe this book. Cy has never had a “REAL” job and his family has him going uncover in the family theme park. When Cy first lays eyes on Red Velvet Queen “Jolie” he has to know more about this beautiful woman. But will this single mother be able to forgive Cy when/if she finds out who he is? All the characters were wonderful but there was just something about Cy and Jolie chemistry that made them click.
Virtue & Vice
Moon and Katja have been asked to move and help start this adult-only theme park with Cy and Jolie who they just meet, will they take the offer Cy has given them? I thought the first book was HOT but Phoebe stepped up her game in this book. These characters are great; I went into this book not knowing what was going to happen between these couples but I’m glad everything is working out between them.
Fire & Ice
Enya and Neve are not big fans of one another but when they get stuck together for work, can they make their new relationship work while working together. This sizzling fast-paced suspense will have you turning the pages and not wanting it to end. If you are like me and like your romances with side kinkiness then you need to read this series.
Naughty & Nice
It’s the wedding that we have been waiting for at Spiceopia. Natalie Roux is feeling the pressure to put on the first big event which just happens to be her boss’s wedding. But it’s the officiate Micah Greene that will have Natalie thinking naughty and not so nice thoughts. Each book in this series has brought something different but Natalie and Micah might be my favorite. There was just something about them that I couldn’t put this book down. I can’t wait to see if there will be more books for this series.

Tidal Love by K. M. Lowe was a great read! I feel like with some of the content matter though, there should be a trigger warning. Some people might find the abuse that Harleigh experienced triggering if they have been through it before. Other than that, the story was great and the characters were amazing! I was instantly drawn in, and could hardly put it down once I started reading. This is the first book I’ve read before from this author, and I wasn’t disappointed! I can’t wait to read more in the future.

The Lies Between Us: A Psychic Romantic Suspense (Deadly Secrets Book 4) by Cynthia Cooke is a suspenseful romance story and quite the ride. It is an adventure that is action packed and is full of surprises, drug lords and a kidnapping just to name a few. Married for years but not quite knowing your partner and what they really do is just what the characters discover along with us. They are anything but a normal married couple. There is paranormal mixed in with danger and gives the story just that little bit more flavour and excitement.

This is a boxed set of four complete stories in author Phoebe Alexander’s ‘Spicetopia’ series, “where variety is the spice of life”. Spicetopia is a theme park for adults where all your fantasies can be fulfilled, created by two entrepreneurial free spirits, “Welcome to Spicetopia”. Each book introduces us to a different couple at Spicetopia. With plenty of spice and steam in the books, this series is definitely meant for readers 18+. I thoroughly enjoyed all four stories and happily ‘binge read’ the entire Boxset one book straight after another.
Book One is ‘Sugar & Spice’, and black sheep of the family Cy Sweet goes undercover in ‘Sweetopia’, his family’s theme park. Agreeing to his father’s bribe, he gets to work serving pastries in Cotton Candy Castle, one of the park’s most popular attractions. However, when he meets ‘The Red Velvet Queen’, he is tempted to blow his cover and invents numerous reasons to visit her everyday. But Cy is not the only one in disguise as the ‘Red Queen’ is really struggling single mom Jolie Cox. I loved this couple who had instant chemistry which sizzled off the page and the added undercover boss element gave the storyline added intrigue and suspense along with the romance and steamy scenes.
Book Two, and in ‘Virtue & Vice’, Spicetopia is bought to life by two sets of couples who want to create a world for adults to have fun and indulge their grown up tastes. Cy and Jolie, from book one, have experience from the kids’ theme park ‘Sweetopia’ and we are introduced to a new couple, Moon and Katja who have the technical and architectural expertise to build the two couples dream world. As well as lots of hard work the couple also enjoy lots of adult fun and neither couple agrees with denying their vices. Alexander not only sets the scene well but also creates characters which are likeable, realistic and relatable which makes the reader feel engaged with the story and the people in them. In Book Three,’ Fire & Ice’, it’s the grand opening of ‘Spicetopia’ but someone is out to sabotage the event. Director of Security, Neve Romano, and Enya Moore, the Director of Public Relations have to work together to prevent disaster but unfortunately the pair have never previously gotten along. However, finding themselves at the mercy of a madman makes them look at each other completely differently and discover more than a spark of passion between them. The storyline has a mystery and suspense feel to it and the plot has plenty of action and drama along with the romance and steamy scenes between Neve and Enya. This novel does contain more adult themes including BDSM scenes.
Book Four, ‘Naughty & Nice’, introduces us to another likeable couple who are bought together at ‘Spicetopia’, Micah and Natalie. Micah Greene was a bit unsure of what to expect when he was asked to officiate a wedding at a theme park catering to “grown-ups.” Especially as having witnessed the consequences of his brothers promiscuity and debauchery Micah has always tried to control his own naughty thoughts and desires. When he meets the official event planner Natalie Roux, however, he finds it hard to resist thinking naughty thoughts about her. Wanting to make a great first impression Natalie needs the owner’s wedding to be a big success and having an instant attraction to the minister means the event is not the only thing on her mind. Natalie knows that to pull of the holiday wedding of the century she needs to keep her hands and mouth to herself, at least until after the wedding. Another great couple with instant chemistry and a wonderfully written story with a storyline that flows well made this an easy and enjoyable read with a festive feel to it.
This is an enjoyable and engaging Boxset which is intended for adult readers as it contains adult themes. Each book can be read as a standalone story but I think the reader would get more enjoyment if the books are read in order as the couples do crossover and the backstory to ‘Spicetopia’ is given in the earlier books in the series. I recommend the boxset and look forward to book five and getting back to ‘Spicetopia’.

I will say first off I would recommend going back and reading the rest of the other three books in the series prior to jumping into this one. I unfortunately did this backwards and started here and it made the book a tad disjointed and incomplete for me. I am sure that is because I was missing the back story and character development that was important to the story. With that said this book was quite the magical adventure and did leave me wanting more. We get a story of Kara O’Keefe and she has quite the story to tell. This book has a myriad of amazing characters and magical elements with a fabulous world built upon with each and every word. I felt as if I was transplanted to this magical place and I never wanted to leave. I will for sure be going back and checking out the previous three books and any more that should come. I loved this. I just wanted more and needed more grounding, so I am giving it a four star rating that I feel will increase when I do read the entirety of the series.
