My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow where to start with this book. It is the first book I have read in a long time that has reduced me to tears several times over. It is so beautifully written  that the emotion jumps right off the page and effects the reader so much.

Ciera is an outcast at school. She has spent her life being bullied for being poor and unpopular but she keeps her head down and gets on with life. Little does anyone know she is dealing with a serious illness which could end her life.

Topher is a popular guy and a main part of the A-Team. He is rich and self centred never caring for anyone but himself. When he dad revels a secret to him his life starts to unravel and he finds himself drawn towards Ciera.

Together they shouldn’t work. They are too different. But they do work and work well. Both of them find strength in each other and the will to starting living life instead of just existing.

I really enjoyed this book by Theresa Pocock. Right from the beginning there was drama and intrigue. The book kept my interest as it led me on a journey with many twists and turns. Theresa Pocock has created a dynamic world full of interesting characters and I enjoyed my journey through it. The cliff hanger ending left me breathless as I wait on the next installment of this series. Theresa Pocock is an author to watch, and I look forward to seeing more from her.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Guardians Of The Garden by Theresa Pocock was an interesting read. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect when I opened this book, but from the synopsis I thought it would be more along the lines of a fairytale. I definitely was not expecting a slightly modern and dystopian take on the Garden of Eden from the Bible. I’m not a huge religious person, so I was slightly thrown off by that. This book was well written, but it also felt like it rambled on. I found my thoughts drifting several times during reading this novel. And this novel ends on a cliffhanger. I can’t tell if it’s part of series, or if it just ends weird. But I’m really hoping for another book and that this is part of a series. But either way I really want a sequel now!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thought this book was going to go one direction and it took me to a completely unexpected place. I really enjoyed how the author set up the story in the first chapter and how the entire story unfolded. The characters were intriguing and I wanted to know more about why the female lead seemed to be so different. Her past defined her present but her future seemed to be potentially so much more. I really am interested to see how this develops as the series continues.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Learning to Live is the first book I have read by Kira Adams, but I can’t wait to read more. There plan to be 5 books in this series, which I am totally stoked for! There is so many deep topics in this book, which brought out all the feelings. It is somewhat a coming of age story, but so much more. You will read about topics such as bullying, suicide, depression, death, love and loss. Ciera and Topher have been going to the same school for most of their life. However, Topher hardly knows she exists, except that his friends bully her daily for years. Ciera is to the point of just trying to be invisible to avoid it…counting down the days until graduation. But when life brought them together, it turns out they were the best thing for each other. The thing they never knew they needed. Wonderful characters, all so real and relatable. Grab a box of kleenex and a comfy throw, and curl up with your kindle. You won’t want to put this book down.

Beckoned: Born of Darkness (Book 1) by R.B. Fields is a story full of paranormal and romance. It was a fascinating read. It was steamy. For people who are into vampire romance, this is the book for you.

She is a serial killer hunter but a daytime emergency room nurse. Vampires aren’t allowed to kill their own, but one vampire has killed to protect her.

Every chapter was a fun read. The romance was very intense loved every page of it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sons of Sindicato by Sonya Jesus & Cam Johns is a romantic suspense story.
This dark tale is the start of this Mafioso series that is engrossing and captivating. This compelling read will keep the pages turning and keep you awake because you need to know how it finishes. I found myself invested in the characters and fell in love with them. Sonya and Cam as a writing pair works well.

The colour of her skin doesn’t matter in the court room but her relationship with the son of the mob could see her disbarred. He has seen and done it all but the one thing that could get him disowned is the one thing he loves.

I look forward to the rest of the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a couple of books from this talented author but she continues to blow my mind. I love a good military romance but this story exceeded my expectations. This is the sixth book of the addictive series Eidolon Black Ops. This book could be read as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. As I was reading I fell in love with other characters so now I’ll have to read the others to this series as well. I was so hooked on this book I could not stop until I was finished. It only took me a little over a day to devour this amazing story.

Gunner Ramberg had a really tough life when he was little. He and his sister had to go live with his grandmother after a horrible accident with their parents. Gunner loves his sister so much but he almost killed her and now as an adult he carries that guilt everyday. He is all alone until he meets the beautiful Lacey. Gunner felt something as he saved from her insane ex. He wants to find happiness but he doesn’t know if he can. Can Gunner find peace with Lacey or will their pasts destroy them both?

I enjoyed this short and sweet book. I didn’t know if this story was going to work out seeing as how short it was, but the author managed to get in all the information we needed to understand the story. Jess got on my ever loving nerve with the way she acted, but when explained why, I can understand and sympathize with her. It is sweet that she did in fact fall in love with him at first sight but acts like he is nothing but a lowly worker on the ranch. Tuck, I think handled her quite nicely by giving all the nastiness she threw at him, right back to her. I was sad that it had to end and we didn’t to see Tuck go to Vegas for the finals but at least we know he is on his way.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have found a new love and that is the Historical Fantasy genre. Byrd Nash has such a descriptive writing style. Her words paint beautiful pictures in my mind’s eye. This book is written in the Late Victorian time period. The characters are fully developed and complicated. This story has the Beauty and the Beast fairytale story within its contents. I feel in love with this story from the very first page until the last page of this book. There were some moments that I definitely gripped my kindle a little harder. I would love to have been Rose. She is the middle sister of three girls. She works within the forgotten garden. There is a beautiful romance that develops within the story. I highly recommend this book for middle school age and beyond.

I really enjoyed this re telling of Beauty and the Beast. The characters were so easy to fall in love with and the story was very well done. Unless I just wasn’t paying good enough attention, I did not see it coming when we find out who the fairy is that cursed Sir Griffin, but I liked how she put him to a test to see if he really had changed or not. The character of Miss Amaranth really got on my nerves, I understand her role and she was very well and annoyingly written. I could tell that Sir Griffin was no in the least bit interested in her and was always looking for Rose. At one point in the beginning I was scared he was going to fall in love with Rose’s sister Lily instead. I really loved this story and wish it didn’t have to end, I can’t wait to see what Byrd Nash has in store next!

Sons Of Sindicato by Sonya Jesus and Cam Johns is a dark romance story that is utterly gripping to read. This is a short story that is quick to get through however in no way does that detract from the story. I was pulled in completely by these characters from the moment I started reading. They felt so gritty and real. They really made the whole story for me.
I was familiar with one of these authors but not the other and I was surprised by just how well their writing styles seemed to combine. The story is consistent and comprehensive and it probably one of the best pairings I have read in a while. I really
Hope we see more from the duo in the future.

Guardians of the Garden by Theresa Pocock is a fantastic reimagining of the story of Eden. It brings in all the elements you are familiar with and puts a unique and interesting twist on them. I liked the fact that at no point did this book feel like it was overly religious, instead it was an author telling a fantastic story that really grabs your attention.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was really impressed with her writing style. It was detailed and imaginative and she created such strong characters. It took no time at all for me to be hooked by the story and I found that I couldn’t put this book down until I had finished it – even if that did mean I was up to the early hours of the morning. I really enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future.

I found this to be a really good read although it’s very short. I did think that it contained a lot of story writing despite being as short as it was. I’ve read several of the authors books and this was not my favorite, but then again I’m not really a “rodeo” type girl so I couldn’t really place myself in the characters boots. There were some funny moments that made me chuckle as the main female character tries hard to be difficult. I think I would have enjoyed the book more than I did if I were into the rodeo lifestyle so if you are I’m sure you will thoroughly enjoy reading this book.

The characters are connectable and made the story easy to read. It is a fun and entertaining read. Vince is an agent that finds himself in a situation that he has two choices to make. Either is love or duty. One breaks the barrier and the other makes it stronger. What will he choose? There is so much more to this story but I highly recommend reading the book to find out.

It is a story full of magic and action. I had no problems relating to the characters. They made the story easy to read and entertaining. This is a story about Miriam. She is at the point that she wants nothing more to do with her magic. Seth finds himself in a new town, a sister with cancer and parents that have just plain given up. These two are about to collide and what happens next you won’t want to miss. I really enjoyed the author’s attention to details that made the story feel realistic. I am glad I picked up this book and I highly recommend reading this and finding out what happens to Seth and Miriam.

This was a good book while some action happens, I also felt like their relationship was super fast and almost rushed.

A Hole is book one in the Alpha Bet Guys series by the sensationally talented Phoebe Alexander. There is nothing better than humour and wit to titillate the literary taste buds. From start to finish this story had me totally bewitched. Ace was a desirable and funny character and Ella was just the perfect heroine. It was such a delight to read about an enviable and real sounding character. Not a barbie type that is totally unrealistic and doesn’t fit the story at all. Ella was perfect for Ace but meddling friends that mean well, but cannot help throwing in their two cents worth. A Hole was deeply addictive and empowering, all at the same time. I love nothing more than a feisty leading lady showing the leading man that she is strong, independent, but arousing as all get out. An irresistible combination that is difficult to drag oneself away from. A short, sexy and all out entertainer. A Hole ticked all the boxes for me. Great to read this amazing author’s work, once more. 5 stars.
