Hook’s Little Mermaid: The Untold Stories
By
Suzanna Lynn

This is the untold story about Captain Hook and how he got the name Captain Hook and why he doesn’t like Peter Pan. For fans of Peter Pan and Captain Hook this is a must read. I love books that fill in the blanks, it gives us another way to look at the history between the two characters.
At first his name is James Shaw but during the story he changes his name to Captain Hook, this story explains why this happens and why he sets out to find Pan.
This is a very good story. I encourage everyone to read this.

The Tears of Boabdil
By Neil MacDonald
☆☆☆☆
This is a complex story of lies and truths, dark and light.
Vince is a liar as well as an Undercover Special Agent. While on a mission he poses as a Islamic. To help him filtration into a British Jihad Group. While on his mission he meets the beautiful Ayesha. Therefore he has many questions to answer for himself. Love or honor, his life is about to change. Action packed and suspenseful. Which way will Vince go, and how far will he push the limits? Only reading this story can answer your question.

Neil MacDonald wrote this intriguing story. It is well written and has great characters. This is not a book I would regularly read, but I gave this one a try. For me it was hard to keep track of who was lying and who was not. Which only means Neil MacDonald has done a great job with this story. This was not my usual genre, I was looking for something different, this was definitely different. Well Done Neil MacDonald! Well Done

Price of a Rose: A Beauty & Beast Tale (Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings Book 2)Price of a Rose: A Beauty & Beast Tale by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this twist and remake of the story of Beauty and the Beast. I loved the characters and how it kept the story of the spell being broken by love.

On the edge of town in a house lives Sir Griffin Garrick. He is a man who likes his own company and the rumours are he is a horrible rude man. Some even call him a beast.

So when he wins a game with a local man his prize is to have his 3 daughters. How these 3 women would change his life he could never have seen happening.

Lily is the eldest and set to be married she takes the job of housekeeper to restore the beautiful home to its former glory.

Rose is the middle daughter and her love of flowers and gardens sees her tending to the garden. She hopes to bring it back to life and also to thaw the heart of the beast.

Poppy is the youngest and as a student of magic she is tasked to work out what or who caused the spell on Griffin and how they can remove it.

Little do all 3 sisters know that the answer is easier than they think and all it takes is love to break the curse. Love and the help of a red rose.

Third Time's a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance (Haunted Ever After, #3)Third Time’s a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m becoming a huge fan of Carrie Pulkinen’s. From the first book I stumbled upon, her stories have been entertaining, with great world building and relatable characters. So when I found this book, I had high hopes, as I always do. However, the beginning felt slow and dry and felt also a bit cliché. I did really love the characters that entered the story and the cross over but the story didn’t really hold my attention… until the twist. The twist took me completely off guard and offered that kind of suspense that keeps the pages turning until the end.
Though this wasn’t my favourite book by Carrie Pulkinen, I still recommend it as it completes the series.

Can Dreams Come True? (The Cecily Taylor Series Book 1)Can Dreams Come True? by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Can Dreams Come True by Krysten Lindsay Hager a fair four-star read. This is number one in the Cecily Taylor series and Cecily herself is a fun character to get to know, she was the perfect palate cleanser after the story I read previous to this one, as that was angst ridden and this was so the opposite, just a nice warm romance with some funny drama moments that swept the story along. Its full of teenage angst and reminds you of being that age, and how every moment swept you up and what I wouldn’t do for my teenage heartthrob to pick me. I am excited to find out what will happen next with Cecily and Andrew and not the other one.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was definitely a story that intrigued me from the start and it is so packed with action, it is hard not to stay interested throughout. I wasn’t sure with the synopsis that I would connect to the characters throughout the storyline but I honestly feel as though the characters are very well developed, exceeding all expectations. I would have to admit that there were parts of the storyline where I found myself a little lost and confused. My biggest recommendation would be to enjoy this book without distraction. I have reads that I indulge in before bed, and those that need my full attention on a good day off, The Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald is definitely a 3 star read for the latter!

8 Second Ride is an exciting and really short story by Shannon Nemechek. I have not read this author’s work before and enjoyed this story quite a bit. Tuck and Jessie’s story is a very quick one, but thoroughly entertaining. Enemies to begin with, the last thing Tuck wants to do is babysit spoilt little rich girl Jessie. They spit fire at each other, and lock horn many times, thus providing a charismatic and quirky story. It was edgy. It was sexy. It was thrilling. 4 stars.

It’s a short story that packs a punch with the exceptional world building and character development that Byrd Nash put into it.
Only Fter reading this did I see that this is book 2 so it can be read as a standalone and I’m definitely grabbing book 1

5 Stars

 

Witness: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 9)
Witness is the thrilling ninth book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. I know that I say this with every new release, but this series get better, and more compelling, the further we go as each new instalment manages to slightly eclipse the previous book- leading me on an gripping, intense, and unpredictable ride, giving me many chills and thrills along the way.
As with the previous books in the series, I was completely engrossed in what I was reading. I have long been invested in Detective Edward Petrosky, and his investigations- so it was a given that I would be following along on this case to find out the latest development/s. Ms. O’Flynn writes such vividly detailed and descriptive stories that I feel like I am right there experiencing everything right alongside the character/s- becoming completely absorbed by the story.
This book is another cleverly crafted, police-procedural, crime and investigation story with fully realised, slightly flawed character/s. It’s full of raw, gripping, shocking, and totally intriguing developments that had me flipping the pages madly to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read “Savage” (Book 10).
Compelling and Addicting Reading!

Thank you, Meghan O’Flynn!

The Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald was a good 4 star read.
It took me a little bit to get into the story, I was trying to understand exactly what was going on. Once I got a little further I got pulled in.

Vince is working undercover to infiltrate a jihadi group. He also meets a woman that pulls him right in and he starts to seduce her. As the story moves forward Vince has to make a choice. Love or his job? What’s made up and what is real?

Overall this was a good thrilling read. The author does a good job of pulling you in with his writing. All of the characters added a great element to the story. If you’re looking for a good thrilling fantasy romance then 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Book 4
By R. L. Dunn
☆☆☆☆☆
Be prepared for this one. Full length novel that is action-packed suspenseful romance.
Not for those unter 18, due to adult content. While this could be a standalone, I recommend you start with Book 1 to get familiar with all of the characters. It will be worth your time to get caught up with the characters.

This is Zach and Saoirse’s story. Zach ” Ice “Wentworth works with Chase Security. Returning to work after losing his partner. While working on an undercover mission that went wrong. Saoirse Kennedy is a US Attorney who is about to go undercover in a human trafficking ring. Both are strong in their work as well as their personal life. No Spoilers here, but all is about to hit the fan.

D. L. Dunn has written this suspenseful story. It will keep you reading until the book ends. You will go through all of those emotions while reading this story. The characters will become a part of your heart. Zach is hard core strong, but Saoirse is even stronger. This story left nothing out and the suspense is rollercoaster worthy. Well done D. L. Dunn! Well Done!

Hook's Little MermaidHook’s Little Mermaid by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a fun read!! She definitely keeps you guessing as to what will happen next as you read! Truly, didn’t want to put it down, and only did because I had to sleep!

I was surprised by the author’s reason for Captain Hook’s intense dislike for Peter Pan. It humanized him to the point that you couldn’t help but see Hook in a different light because of his misadventures in the book. I appreciated that she didn’t paint him as the villain that most people associate him with when they hear the name Captain Hook.

Because she also intermingled some other tale’s characters throughout this book, it’s hard to not feel that they are a foreshadowing of what is to come in this series! Can’t wait to read what comes next!

Professor Valentine: A Student Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella by Diana Vale is the first book in the Kirk University series. This is a pretty quick and easy read that will help pass a relaxing afternoon.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I certainly found it to be enjoyable. I liked the fact that it was an easy read and something that I didn’t have to think too much about. The story was well written and had some pretty steamy scenes. I was quite as taken with the characters like I hoped I would be. I didn’t quite connect with them throughout the book. However that being said it didn’t really take away from my enjoyment and I would be willing to read more from this author in the future. Overall this is an entertaining book worth reading.

The author wrote this story by intertwining three stories and timelines in such a fascinating way that I had to keep reading to find out what happened next! I was left wondering if that was all. I want to know more! This would be a FANTASTIC book club read!! It’s definitely the kind of book you want to discuss with other people.

So I really enjoyed the first book in this series so I was excited to start the second one especially as it’s beauty and the beast and that is my favourite fairytale so high expectations. Maybe that’s where I went wrong though having high expectations.
It was good but it just wasn’t amazing.
The dad loses a game of cards and as the story goes he trades his daughter away for a rose to the beast. His daughter take charge of their own fates. Lily becomes the housekeeper at the manor and Poppy beigns reading magic books and becomes his secrety. Rose then begins to work magic in his garden. She is going to be the key to unravel the curse that is on him.
Although as we all know it’s never simple.
If you enjoy retellings and fairytales and magic and little bit of historical romance this is your book.

Best of my LoveBest of my Love by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So, let me just say that I can’t give this book the best of my love after reading it. As much as I wanted to love it, I honestly didn’t. It began extremely slow and was hard for me to get into the story. Once the story did start moving along it was hard for me to connect with the main character, Dre, until closer to the ending of the book. I felt that there were some unresolved issues at the end which left me confused and wondering if she was going to release a follow-up and complete the story. If not, then that’s a shame. I really despised the “love of her life” and the choices and decisions that he makes. Just my opinion, but there was no love in that relationship. Maybe desperation. Or hope. Whatever the case may be, I truly cannot believe that anyone would believe that this was the best love of their life. But again, I am hoping that this isn’t the ending of this story and that there will be completion and satisfaction in a sequel.

Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella (Kirk University Book 1) by Diana Vale

Diana wove a lovely coming of age romance that made for a quick read! Her descriptions and real life feel of University life transported this reader across the ocean to England; back to the good old college days! Diana certainly has a way with words and paints such a clear picture that I could practically feel the cool breeze, hear the boisterous nightlife, and maybe yearn a little for Professor Valentine’s hot breath on my neck… As a midwestern lady from the States I found her British slang endearing and loved her characters all the more for it! Young adult readers will certainly feel a connection and understanding to the characters that I’m sure will have them hooked on Vale’s books to come! If the character connection doesn’t hook them, her classy steamy scenes will! Professor Valentine was a great light read and I look forward to seeing what Vale comes up with next!

This was a lovely read. It’s full of heartbreak and romance. It’s a story about forgiveness and that by being able to forgive we allow ourselves to find love. The characters are beautifully written. I love that Dre character is a strong independent woman even though she has suffered heartache and betrayal.

Dre and Erick were high school sweethearts and were together for years until one day Dre got a call. Erick had cheated on her and the woman was pregnant.

Thinking he was doing the right thing he left Dre and married the other woman. Dre was left heartbroken but she picked herself up and moved away.

10 years later she is a successful business woman who has never gone back home. Until her friend needs her. So Dre returns to her old home and old memories.

Can she rebuild her relationship with her dad and forgive him for what she sees as betrayal? Can Erick win her back over? Can they try again or will the pain of the past be too much for Dre to overcome?

Witness: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 9)Witness: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Witness is the 9th Book in the Ash Park series by Meghan O’Flynn. The Ash Park series is centred around police detective Edward Petrosky and in this book he’s joined again by his partner Jackson. I didn’t discover this series of books and this author until the 7th book in this series and it’s still my mission to find time to go back and read the 6 books I’ve missed as I really want to get to know Petrosky’s character more. From my knowledge of Witness and the 2 previous books, I can tell he’s had a damn hard time of it in his life and in witness he sinks back into alcoholism again.
This is a really brilliant detective story with so many twists and turns that you really don’t know what Meghan O’Flynn is going to throw at you next. What started as a simple breaking and entering job turned into something way, way much more and Petrosky and Jackson are soon pulled deep into the dark and dangerous criminal world in a case that becomes a bit too close to home for comfort.
It totally amazes me how an author can write such an intricate and involved plot without losing the plot, so to speak. I’m totally in awe of authors who can do this and keep the reader engaged throughout and Meghan O’Flynn certainly does that with Witness.

Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella is the first book in the Kirk University series by Diana Vale.

This is my first time reading anything by this author, and I very much enjoyed this novella. It was a quick read that I read in an evening. The characters are sweet and well throughout, and they keep you wanting more. The story follows Cassandra (Cassie) who is a psychology student in her first year at the fictional Kirk University. She doesn’t intend to fall for her professor but just can’t keep away. The book is filled with romance and chemistry, and a fun take on what student life can be like.
I enjoyed this first book in the series, and look forward to seeing where the author takes us next.

A few misunderstandings set the course for this short romantic comedy between comedian Ace Bennett and bank teller Ella Craig. The chemistry between Ace and Ella, as well as their banter-like communication, kept the story fun and enjoyable throughout. The novel grabbed my attention from the first chapter and didn’t let go until the very last page. The author created a well-written story with some rather quirky and swoon-worthy characters. Now that I’ve read this first book, I’ll definitely be looking into the second in the Alpha Bet Guys series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Best of my Love (Love in Emerald Creek) by N.D. Jackson is a second chance romance.

Dre has no intention of ever returning to Emerald Creek. She’s made that clear by staying away for so long. There’s nothing there for her except her best friend Shayna and her kids, which is precisely what brings Dre back. Erick made a massive mistake and lost the love of his life. Seeing her back in Emerald is hard knowing he was what drove her away in the first place. Will Dre being back in Emerald Creek for the summer dredge up old memories or have they lost any chance they ever had?

I enjoyed the book it was a great read. I didn’t enjoy Erick so much. He spent a lot of time acknowledging and maybe even feeling bad for the pain he inflicted but those first few interactions he had with Dre lacked any kind of asking for forgiveness. She would have shot him down, that’s Dre’s personality but I feel like Erick continued to make mistakes that he should have learned from. I loved Dre’s character. She’s no nonsense. She tells it like it is. She is herself unapologetically no matter how many people try to make her bend. I definitely recommend!

By Byrd Nash
4 Stars

This is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I love fairytales and I think that the author did a good job with this one. There is magic, a curse, the beast and a happily ever after. This is where the similarities end. In this story, the father gambles for a rose and loses his three daughters. The sisters go to Thorn Hill Manor on their own terms and decide to help the beast in their own way. Lily becomes the housekeeper to clean and refresh the house, Rose decides to revive the gardens as this is her strength and Poppy being the youngest becomes his secretary. The author adds some twists to keep it interesting. The characters are kind and compassionate. My favourite had to be Poppy. She is a headstrong fourteen year old with a will of her own. The story is charming and enjoyable. You won’t be disappointed.
