Cursed Sight (Broderick Coven, #2)Cursed Sight by A.J. Renee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. I enjoyed being pulled into this paranormal romance story from the first chapter. This is a well rounded story that is fast paced, engaging and connectable. The characters not only bring the story to life but also took me on a magical adventure. This is Ethan and Serena’s story. They team up to eliminate a threat but what they didn’t expect was to find more. They are great together and they have such great chemistry.. I truly enjoyed them and what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Stormy’s Thunder (Satan’s Devils MC Utah #2) by Manda Mellett – Review by Kerry Carr

Stormy's Thunder (Satan's Devils MC Utah #2)Stormy’s Thunder by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the Utah chapter of the Satan Devil’s MC. I’ve read several of these books and I have loved everyone of them. They are always full of action, danger and romance and the bond between the brothers is so strong.

In this book we get to see Stormy’s story. After he appeared in a previous book his character is not a very likeable one and I went into this book wanting to hate him.

However going through his life you realise what happened to make him become the man he is today.

After Stormy disappears from the club he returns with a bang. He literally crashes into the club. After being taken to hospital in  coma the rest of the club members try to figure out what happened. Where did Stormy go? Who would want to beat him almost to death? Is it something from his past? Or something to do with the club? There are so many questions and no answers.

Add to this story a love interest for Stormy in the shape of Cat who is a strong, independent woman. Can they work together and build each others trust? Can Stormy keep her safe and in doing so keep himself alive?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this romance story. This is a well developed story that has characters that are unique and creative. I had no problems connecting with them as they brought the story to life. The story is fast paced and engaging. This is a story about Joel and Em. Joel is so focused on his business that he just doesn’t do relationships. But when one of his biggest client asks him to meet his daughter, he never expects to find Em. She is determined to finish school and start her business. What will fate have in store for these two? First impressions are important but will Joel convince Em there is more to his feelings than what she thinks? They made great characters that I just enjoyed. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

I really enjoyed the first book in this series and so was really looking forward to picking up book 2 and I definitely wasn’t left disappointed. I really love the authors engaging writing style and the plot for the story was great. I found the characters really interesting – I thought I was going to love Gabi but I id struggle to understand her at times but Mason was unexpected for me and I really liked him. I think there is one thing that’s definitely undeniable in this story and that is the chemistry between the characters! Phew it was hot and it did feel genuine also!
I am definitely looking forward to starting book 3!!

Crave (Clark Family Series) by Evelyn Sola

Crave is the first book in the Clark Family series by Evelyn Sola. I absolutely loved this book and the drama it brought with it. I pretty much devoured this book in one day only because once I dove in I had to know how everything was going to play out. This isn’t my first read by this author and definitely not my last. This is Jacob and Sandra’s story. The moment these two meet the chemistry is ridiculous between but because of past issues and betrayal from his brother and sil theres trouble before they even really get a chance to get started. Can they have a future together? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read the next one in this series.

Bound by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Series Book 2) by Amy McKinley – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Bound by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #2)Bound by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bound by Secrets is book two in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. This author has mastered the military romance, and stamped her unique writing style all over, making the barre being set incredibly high for other authors of this genre. The characters are always intriguing, mesmirising, strong, courageous and charismatic. And that is just the leading men!! The women are brave, compassionate, understanding, resilient and unbreakable. Brave men need these powerhouse women, and Amy McKinley provides a plethora of action and adventure and enough passion to ignite the pages. Bound by Secrets was a memorable mix of attraction, angst, aggression and apprehension. Kayla and Jaxon share a past and he wants a future. Kayla is running scared and Jaxon has his work cut out trying to prove they are meant to be. Jaxon is what every man wants to be and Kayla is an inspiration and someone to look up to. Neither are perfect, but they are perfect to escape with. A classic story of love that is both edgy and addictive. 4 stars.

Cursed Sight (Broderick Coven, #2)Cursed Sight by A.J. Renee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Cursed Sight is the second book in the Broderick Coven Series by A.J. Renee. I have read a few of Ms. Renee’s books now, but this is definitely my favourite so far.
Ethan Broderick’s world got a little more intense since he learned of his abilities. But not knowing where to begin in fully understanding them has him seeking out the local coven for any assistance they may be able to provide.
Serena Bishop is a witch and the high priestess of her coven, and just so happens that the coven is in need of an oracle. But when Ethan’s visions take a disturbing turn, danger mounts and the mystery deepens- making for a great read.
Can’t wait for the rest of the series.

Thank you, A.J Renee!

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season (Mythical Alliance Series #1-6)Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luana
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season (Mythical Alliance #1 – 6) by Claire Luana contains all six books in this superb urban fantasy series. Mythical Alliance is a serialized series which consists of six novella length instalments full of all the paranormal action, adventure, mystery, danger, drama, tension, and intrigue you could want. With plenty of originality, incredible world building, and quirky paranormal beings (supes), this series not only makes for excellent reading- I think it would also translate well onto the small screen, and that’s one television series I would love to see.
What is the Mythical Alliance, who are the members of Phoenix Team, and just what do they get up to? This series is definitely worth the read to find out.

The series contains:

-Phoenix Team One: Selected (Book #1)
-Phoenix Team Two: Protected (Book #2)
-Phoenix Team Three: Captured (Book #3)
-Phoenix Team Four: Trafficked (Book #4)
-Phoenix Revealed (Book #5)
-Phoenix Betrayed (Book #6)

A must read for all Urban Fantasy fans!

Thank you, Claire Luana!

Black Dog RisingBlack Dog Rising by Kat Caulberg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Black Dog Rising by Kat Caulberg is an intriguing paranormal romance- with plenty of drama, adventure, danger, mystery, and secrets. This is my first read by Ms. Caulberg, so I really wasn’t sure what to expect going in. But the title alone intrigued me enough to want to know more- so I took a chance and snapped up a copy and jumped right in.
Emma journeys to England trying to leave her previous bad relationship behind. But little does she know that this will be the start of an adventure that will change everything. Nothing is quite as it seems, as Emma will soon discover. This journey brings danger, uncovers secrets, and will test her like never before. Add some tension, chemistry, the Fae, a dark(ish) atmosphere, and some romance- and this story had me completely engrossed.
I am looking forward to exploring more of Ms. Caulberg’s work in the near future!

Thank you, Kat Caulberg!

Crave : An Instant Attraction Romantic Comedy (Clark Family Series) by Evelyn Sola

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by Sola. Crave is a great book and I can’t wait for more. She has a certain way of writing her stories that make you fall in love.

Sandy is filling in for her cousin at her mom’s bakery when she has to deliver something last minute. When she gets there she’s invited to stay. Family conflict happens and it leaves Sandy confused. The quote I chose for Sandy is: “Oh, please. I did not promise, and if he wanted a date with me, he wouldn’t have left me standing in the middle of the dance floor.”

Jake shows up to his mom’s birthday party only to meet the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen. He follows her around trying to get her attention after she blows him off. Will he get the chance to explain before it’s too late? The quote I chose for Jake is: “Are you saying you’ve never been in love before, Sandy?”

Highly recommended for contemporary romance lovers.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a wonderful collection. Out of all the novels in this collection, Paper Love by Aubrey Wynne is what caught my attention the most. Mainly because the character is more like me than others. Paper Love is sort of a misleading title but after reading it I can understand why Ms. Wynne used that title. Joss is a wonderful female lead character and the novel revolves around her and her love life or lack of one. When she does meet someone, she can’t help but wonder.

Twisted Secrets

Twisted Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This novel left me wanting. While I never ever judge a book by it’s cover, this one looked really intriguing. However, after I started reading the novel it seemed kind of dry. Amy McKinley is a wonderful and talented writer. This novel had a great story line. It just wasn’t delivered in a relatable way. After the first few chapters it left me wondering what was happening and I was confused. I get that not all novels are relatable, but this one should have been. At least somewhat relatable. It is beautifully written though and McKinley does deserve credit because she has written wonderful novels before. Now this is one readers opinions and not meant to persuade anyone either way. Try the novel yourself and see if you like it. You never know you may.

Crave by Evelyn Sola (the first book in the Clark Family Series) was a great read! The cover is what initially drew me in, and once I started reading I couldn’t put this book down! Full of drama, steamy romance, and some slight mystery (at least at the beginning) this was a very entertaining ride and read from beginning to end. This book had me laughing and crying. It was so beautiful and the attraction between Jake and Sandra cannot be denied. I was absolutely enthralled with this book. I can’t wait to read the next installment of this series!

At Once: Adams Brothers: Book 2 by Mindy McKinley

I really enjoyed this book, the story between Gabi and Mason was so sweet and you can never go wrong when at least one of the characters is a Cubs fan.

Gabi has a past that she isn’t very proud of which is understandable but she should be. She is an strong woman and can do anything she sets her mind to.  I do wish there was a little more attention on her past and how she got through everything.  Maybe it would give someone the strength to get out of that horrible situation.

Mason is a charmer, a successful and talented charmer.  I’m sure he had to depend on the charm with being the middle of the three boys. He certainly charmed me.

This is a great series and I’m looking forward to Seb’s book next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story just really pulled at my heart strings. At first it’s all sassy and fun then the serious stuff hits. It’s weird for the male lead to be the one thinking they are unworthy. But Joel does and it plays out full of heartache and strength of character. As you can tell I enjoyed this story. It has depth, hope and strength. This drew me in with the fun and I became fully involved with the storyline.

I loved the spunk and fire of Em. She knows her self worth and doesn’t let others think less. She is kind, thoughtful and smart. Joel is surprised by Em. She is not what he was expecting…she is better. They have ups and downs to conquer and Work, family, friends and the past to all figure out how end up together …or apart.

Over all this is a story that affects my heart. It was filled with joy, sorrow and relief. I love it all! It was great to chat here u with the characters from the previous books.

Stormy’s Thunder (Satan’s Devils MC Utah #2) by Manda Mellett – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Stormy's Thunder (Satan's Devils MC Utah #2)Stormy’s Thunder by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading Road Tripped, I was intrigued as to what Stormy’s backstory was and what drove him to make the decisions he made. The second book in the Utah Chapter of Manda Mellett’s Satan’s Devils MC series, Stormy’s Thunder, promised to tell me more about this complex and mysterious character.
Stormy’s Thunder deviates from the format of the majority of the Satan’s Devils books as much of the story – whole chapters, even – is told through flashbacks. This is very effective. The present day sections of the story set out questions that are answered in the past, only to raise more questions that take us elsewhere in Stormy’s story.
Although many of the Satan’s Devils books work fine as standalones I would really recommend reading Road Tripped before Stormy’s Thunder. The stories are closely linked, with Stormy’s Thunder including retellings of some of the events of the previous book from different perspectives, and Road Tripped is a good introduction to the Utah Chapter.
For me, this is a five-star book. This series… honestly I have very little interest in romance and motorcycles but these books are so well written and the stories are always such page-turners, I’m hooked. A joy to read!

It’s a very whimsical story about Grace, who is a ghost who inhabits Amberwood Hall, and Lauren, the little girl who Grace thinks could end up helping her achieve her goal.

Stormy’s Thunder (Satan’s Devils MC Utah #2) by Manda Mellett. First off I LOVE these books so I’m always excited to see a new one. This one was no different. It was soo good and I can’t wait for the next one! This is Stormy’s story who we have met a few times in the other books but he was always just a grouch. This book tells a different story. Stormy was a Navy Seal and is actually a man with a ton of skeletons in his closet and he’s never really dealt with them. When he meets Cat he falls in love immediately and he will do whatever it takes to protect her and that means dealing with his past. Cat is changing Stormy weather he wants to or not and it is for the better. This book will have you flipping pages faster than lightning! You can read it as a standalone but I highly recommend reading them in order! Its an amazing story!

Soren and Maya are great together even if she isn’t sure at first and doesn’t believe in eternal mates, she never even believed in magical and mythical creatures until now she thought they were just old wise tales, so why would her so called eternal mate be any different.

5 +++++ Stars

YES!! My favorite so far of the series… WOW this one had me glued to my kindle, it gave me everything and then some that I would ever want in this series. I seriously don’t even know where to begin writing this review. This author writes with so much care in all of her details, and the words just flow beautifully!

First of all, I’m pretty sure that one of the reasons I loved this so much is because I have read the first two and have gotten to know these characters, I mean they feel like friends now LOL I just can not recommend reading these as stand alones, the building of these characters and the storylines make this a must read in order series in my opinion to get the full effect of everything. This author has bonded this group together so well and even though most shouldn’t even be in the same room they have literally become a family and when they are all together it makes for some of the best parts of these books.

Larkspur has to be one of my favorite characters of all time, I want him!! His part in these books and the way the author writes his character has me feeling like he is real. Don’t know how else to explain it. I can’t wait for more on the future of Drakelynn, I have a feeling I’m going to love him just as much. I am trying so hard to stay away from any of the storyline because the first 2 really need to be read.

I will say there was a twist in this story that blind sided me, I thought I had it all figured out early on and was so wrong and I loved that! The danger scenes had me on the edge of my seat and the times I laughed out loud were genuine. I love everyone of these characters and what each one brings to the table and I can not wait for what is next. I have hopes that it will include a newer character that joined the gang during this book but I trust no matter what way she takes this I will love it. I seriously don’t want this series to end!

One Click these, this is an amazing series!!
