Strings AttachedStrings Attached by Loriana Cappello
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So, this tale had a nostalgic feel to it, one that took me back to how it felt to be falling in love for the first time, and how those feelings can stay with you. It’s a monumental thing falling in love for the first time, and I got to say that my heart broke for Ash and Calla and I wished for their happy ending.
Capello has a wonderful way of writing that is so delicate and soft handling the hearts of her characters with the care they deserve, whilst still dealing the heavy blows of reality. Ashton is at a monumental crossroads in his life, with a weighty decision before him that could make or break him. The last thing he needs is for things to get more tangled. But then it does, because Calla comes back into his life, after five years, she is just there, and she hasn’t changed. And neither have his feelings for her. Neither of them can deny that, though everything has changed for them, nothing in the way they want each other has, and over the summer they fall back in love. But if things were difficult then, they feel impossible now. Both know that the real world is waiting to sneak in and drag them back into reality, where their loyalties are pulled in different directions, away from each other.
I just thought that this was a beautiful read that literally made my heart explode with all the feels. Capello has written a wonderful tale that taps into the very heart of what it is like to fall in love all over again. I just adored every second of this and I know that anyone else reading it will too. It’s just so lovely.

Slash & Burn (Nite Fire, #4)Slash & Burn by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So, I have listened to the first book in this series on Audiobook, and I was thoroughly impressed by that, now, by no logic that I can ever explain I have hopped, skipped, and jumped to book 4. Though missing out quite a big portion of the story so far, I have got to say that Schneider does an amazing job of getting you up to speed, I didn’t feel lost and got the sense that the book could stand alone if it absolutely had to. Still, I would recommend reading the series in order, at least to limit any potential confusion.
Badass Dhalia Nite is back, kicking ass and taking names. As always have got to love the character, she is witty, sassy, and self-assured, and also not an idiot, which is so nice to read. Doing what she does best, Dahlia keeps the streets safe from all manner of nasty beasties. But she notices that something isn’t quite right, with monsters pouring in from, what feels like, every available angle, she fears that she and her new team may not be enough to stop the destruction.
I really enjoyed this book, and it was interesting to see how far Dahlia had developed, even though through my own stupidity I’d missed out on half of it. Gotta say that I absolutely adored this read and would recommend it to anyone that loves a fair whack of action and mystery. Schneider just knows how to drop you into a scene, making everything so vivid, it feels like you are actually there. She is a fantastic writer and I look forward to reading more of her work.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!
Excellent! Loyalty & Lies is the 6th book in the Spicetopia series and it really amazes me that there is still so much more that can be made with these books, so many more stories to tell. Calvin and Paisley are so sweet together. I love that Calvin is so obsessed and in love with his wife, even when the 2 beautiful women, or the evil nasties as I like to think of them, are all over him, in the back of his mind he doesn’t want to do anything without his wife’s consent, and without her being there really. I was sad to learn of Beau’s roll in everything, it seemed like him and Paisley really got along and that he was a genuinely nice guy. I was sad for Paisley, being pregnant, on a beautiful island in a fun resort and amusement park and having no body to share it with, at one point I thought she was going to throw in the towel and go home, but she can’t bring herself to leave because she knows something is really wrong. The outcome was sweet and I really enjoyed this adventure, I also loved seeing the previous characters coming around. Bring on the next one!

Strings AttachedStrings Attached by Loriana Cappello
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Strings Attached by Loriana Cappello is not your average musician romance novel. In Strings Attached, we see two people who have always had a thing for one another but have never been able to tell the other due to outside circumstances. Calla Bryson is back in town for the summer leading up to her final year of University. She’s not ruling out a summer “hook up” but isn’t looking for anything serious, but that all changes when Ashton Chambers, Ash, comes back into her life; helping her after she run headfirst into a lamp post. The two reestablish their friendship while secretly harboring feelings for each other. All the while Ash has to weigh whether he should finish up his last year of Uni or if he should sign his band, Koolum Law, with a record label that has been showing interest. Can their blossoming romance survive the trials and tribulations of everyday life as well as one of them becoming famous?

I really enjoyed this take on the musician romance trope. I liked the characters and enjoyed reading about how they were still growing up on their own, as well as how they grew as a couple. This novel does have a bunch of British/English slang that had me utilizing Google to understand what was going on. There is sexual tension between Cal and Ash, and we get a few sex scenes, but half of the time the scenes are more “fade to black” than explicit. This romance also was more of a slow burn, with the sexual and romantic tension carrying the first quarter of the book. Per Loriana’s Afterward, I look forward to reading more about the side characters in future novels, as well as what comes next for Ash and Cal.

Love Between the LinesLove Between the Lines by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a new release, and I was so anxious to read it that I picked it up and couldn’t seem to put it down. It’s a quick read once you get into the story line as I was able to complete it in about 3 hours. It’s a cute romantic story and the characters are so easy to fall in love with. I loved how the writer didn’t seem to make a relationship the goal for the characters. Instead, they had other goals and frustrations that they were dealing with, anxiety being one of them. I could totally relate to this as it is something I too deal with in my own life. The characters were likable, the book had a great plot, and it was hilarious without being that cheesy romantic rom-com. I found this book to be a fun, light, and easy to read book. It was also easy to put down and pick back up without having to remember a lot of details so I could get right back to the story. The author has a way with words that pulled me into the story and made me want to keep reading. In fact, there were some lines that I had to stop and reread because the insight from the author was so amazing. It is definitely a great book, so I highly recommend you add this to your list.

8 Second Ride8 Second Ride by Shannon Nemechek
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a quick read with great character development, Shannon Nemechek’s 8 Second Ride is for you. The story opens with Tuck McGraw in a panic. He is running behind for work at the Four Leaf Ranch, and dreaded the possibility of being the errand boy for Jessie Flanagan. Jessie was the snobby daughter that felt the need to flaunt her body and money to impress others. When Tuck arrives, he discovers that he made the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Liam decided to give a party that evening in Tuck’s honor.
Just as Tuck is feeling at the top of the world, along comes Jessie, and he has been assigned the task of taking her shopping in town. On the way to town, Tuck begins to give her a reality check of how he thought she was ugly inside. Unfortunately, on the ride back, Tuck receives a call from the PBR. His trip was completely paid for, but Jessie interrupts the call and adds herself and her best friend to the list. How will Tuck handle the sudden intrusion of Jessie with his future in the rodeo circuit? Why does she want to go?

The character development of this book is a favorite feature of mine. The back story and motivation for Tuck flow well with his actions throughout the story. I was surprised at the abrupt ending as it left me wanting to read more. This is a book for mature adults; the profanity and sexual innuendos are not appropriate for young adults. This is a book that made me feel like everyone should follow their dreams no matter how difficult they may be to achieve.

8 Second Ride by Shannon Nemechek
4 Stars

This is a quick novella that can be read while having lunch. Tuck wants his 8 second ride of fame to win the belt buckle. He wants to make his family proud. Tuck is late for work and he’ll probably be stuck with the boss’s daughter again. It wouldn’t be so bad if she wasn’t a spoiled brat. He could think of a lot of things he would like to do with her. Jesse has been in love with Tuck since she first laid eyes on him. She needs to know if he is worth it. So she’s putting him to the test. The chemistry is there but can he prove himself?

I kind of felt like I was watching an episode of Yellowstone. I had no patience for Jesse and found that she had a weird way of showing that she loved Tuck. That being said, the book was well written. If you like cowboys, you’ll enjoy this story.

Strings Attached by Loriana Cappello is a rockstar, second chance romance. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I really enjoyed it!

Calla and Ash have history and now they are back in each other’s lives. Of course, the timing is not stellar as Ash has a decision to make and Calla being back in his life adds one more thing to consider. This time around they agree – no promises. Neither of them can guarantee anything and maybe if they don’t make any promises, no one gets hurt. Calla and Ash want different things but Will Ash convince Calla to take a chance?

I really enjoyed this book. It had a little bit of everything. There were sweet moments and angst. It doesn’t get much better than that!

Professor Valentine is a student/teacher romance by Diana Vale. I love a forbidden story and this one was a cracker. Cassie is experiencing university life and enjoying every moment of it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 9th book in the Ash Park series and its just as good as the previous books. The stories are all gripping, full of twists and turns and it keeps you guessing from start to end. I love the character of Detective Petrosky. He is a hard character to get to know and love. With a history of alcoholism and a relapse he finds life hard but he still does his job 100% leaving no stone unturned.

This book starts with a simple breaking and entering case but as Petrosky and his partner Jackson start to dig deeper they start to unravel a mystery that leads them into a dark criminal world and also leads them to look closer to home.

It’s a really gripping story with twists that you won’t see coming.

Meghan O’Flynn is a genius. It’s that simply. Hands down, this series gets better with every book – something I’m simply unprepared for. This latest installment in the Ash Park series, like its predecessors, can in fact stand on its own and be read individually. However given the skill of the author and the sheer genius of the crime thriller that unfolds, to fully appreciate the main characters and their development you will want to read them all. You’ll have to. Your soul won’t rest until you do. They are just that good. Want a book and series that will make you think and keep you guessing and love every mesmerizing and spellbinding chill?

Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella (Kirk University Series Book 1) by Diana Vale – Review by Gail Guerrero

Five Star

Professor Valentine is a story I needed. That forbidden love affair that shouldn’t be allowed but we can’t help that fall. That chemistry that is undeniably addictive. Cassie has a drive to get her through life but even she had to sit back when she went from wanting to just be a student to fighting love. We can’t help who we love or when our hearts tells us we are ready. I do but don’t understand why this type of relationship is forbidden. On one hand you have the potential to ruin a persons career. The other hand you have a young person with their whole life still ahead of them. The amount of power one holds over the other is a big factor as well. But they’re also consenting adults and unless one is forced into it I think it’s okay. I seriously enjoyed the story and need more. This is my first story by this author and I was impressed and intrigued by the plot.

Strings Attached: A Braebeach Rock Romance by Loriana Cappello

This is the first book I’ve read by Cappello and I must say this is a great introduction to a new author to me. She had me hanging on the edge of my seat the entire time. It really felt like I was sitting right there watching it all happen.

Calla thought Ash didn’t notice her, but she never thought that an accident could cause them to become close. After sitting there and listening to him play she realizes he’s the one. The quote I chose for Calla is: “Jesus, I didn’t have a clue. Like I said, one minute we were good friends, at least, I thought we were. The next he…Well, let’s just say I will never understand boys for as long as I live. The stupid s**t you lot do is just strange. I swear you’re all aliens.”

Ashton is the rockstar who has his eye on someone from school. When he catches her eye then he knows he can’t let her go. She’s the one who would stick through all the tough times with him. Ash loves her and isn’t afraid to show her. The quote I chose for Ashton is: “I wanted our calls to be happy ones, not depressing, and I want this visit to be the same, so let’s move on.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Witness: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 9) by Meghan O’Flynn was a thrilling 5 star read.

You get pulled right in from the beginning at a crime scene. When Petrosky learns who’s home they are at, things seem a little off with his story. This is a dangerous man that Petrosky has dealt with previously. As they start to investigate further we get so many twists and turns you feel like your one of the detectives.

Will they solve the mystery? Was someone killed at the home?

Overall this was a great read. I really like all of the characters, they add a great element to the story. The author does a great job with her writing and you feel like you are right there with the characters. This can be read as a stand alone but I suggest reading the series so that you can get to know the character better.

Another great book to an already great series. I knew once I picked up this book I would not be able to put it down. I was on the edge of my seat through most of this story wondering what was going to happen next. This book can be read as a standalone but I suggest that you read this series in order for more background information and a better overall experience. This author writes with such detail that you feel like you’re in it. If you enjoy psychological thrillers then this is a must read. There are twists and turns and just when you think you know what’s going to happen next the author takes you a different direction. I can’t say enough great things about this book.

Volume 9
By Meghan O’Flynn
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length thrilling crime story. I wish I could give more than 5 stars, it is that good.Not for those under 18 due to the adult theme. While this is a standalone, I recommend you read the others in order.
Detective Petrosky is back and with him comes a story of epic twist and turns. As a detective he has seen more than his share of awful crimes. To date after 9 books I have to say this is by far the most tense of them all. Family secrets can come back at you, and most times it is not what you expected. Spoilers here, I can’t give anything away.

Meghan O’Flynn has done it again. I was on the edge of my seat with this story. Her writing skills are impeccable. So clear and to the point. It is scary to think the thought she has put into words. I love this story, it was non stop action. The characters follow each book, that is why it is good to read books before this one. Meghan O’Flynn thank you for another exciting rollercoaster ride. Well Done!

Best of My Love by N.D. Jackson, started slow for me but then sent me on a roller coaster of emotions. Dre and Erik had been through a lot with their years together and apart but can they give it a second chance at love. Yes, Erik did a horrible thing to Dre years ago, but he was a young, stupid kid who did learn from his mistakes but I don’t think I could forgive something like that. The author’s writing of these characters was strong and powerful but there are just some unforgivable things. I also felt that the ending was missing something.

The Sun at Twilight is the fourth book and I have enjoyed it just as much as the first three books. The Empire at Twilight series is a great series to read. I highly recommend reading the first three books to get the full background of this book. I love the historical time frame that this is written in. Attention to detail is so important. I was able to paint a picture in my mind’s eye and be drawn into this book with these wonderful characters. The characters are fully developed and complex in nature. This book is about Tudhaliya IV and him taking the throne. There is another, Kurunta has a claim to the throne. How will family, friendship and sacrifice play out in this story? It is a ride of emotions with twists and turns. I highly recommend this book to see what happens within this empire.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had not read a book by this author prior to reading this book. I have always loved the stories of Peter Pan & The Little Mermaid, so I was intrigued by the title of this. I was surprised to realize that this is a new twist on Captain Hook and his story. And I LOVED IT! I truly had a new outlook on the villain of Peter Pan and could really start to sympathize and understand why Hook was as evil as he was. I was very impressed with this book and found it to be a very fast read. In fact, I read the entire book in less than 24 hours because I was reading it so quickly. I was quite shocked with the writing and the characters. I was expecting the Captain Hook I have grown used to but was surprised to find out that wasn’t the case at all. I believe that this story is geared towards young adult readers but thought that the author did a fabulous job immersing me into their world. The characters resonated with me and I was able to visually see and feel the images around me. I can honestly say that I felt as though I were an actress in this movie. I didn’t want it to end. If you are a fan of Disney then I believe that you will love this book. I am excited to read the next installment in Lynn’s series.

This is one ride I didn’t want to get it off. The story is one of this authors most twisted. It filled me with sadness but it’s quite a mystery/thriller. We follow Ed Petrosky as he navigates a kidnapping gone wrong. It quickly turns into murders and cults. We get to see Shannon again but not really in the capacity I expected. A case from their past (both Ed and Shannon) can bring them together to tear them apart.

The epilogue was something I didn’t expect. I think I read it a couple times to understand it. I feel like we will be going back again to the past.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Strings Attached: A Braebeach Rock Romance by Loriana Cappello is a great second chance, new adult romance. This is a sweet romance with some brilliant characters. I really enjoyed the connection the characters which I think was made stronger by the fact that they had a history. It felt effortless for them to strike up a friendship again.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed the way she came at quite a popular story premise. It felt like it was a new way to go about it instead of the same thing that has been read time and again. The writing had a great flow to it and the story held my interest. This book was a great introduction to this author and I am looking forward to discovering more from her in the future.
