This suspense thriller romance revolves around two characters, Gunner and Lacey. Gunner is a man haunted by his past, where he is responsible for the disability of his sister when he was just 6. He betrays his team for the sake of his sister and is trying to make amends. Lacey is just rescued by Gunner and his team from an abusive boyfriend. They meet up together and spend a memorable night. That puts Lacey’s life in danger. How both of them cope up with the challenges and the struggles is the crux of the story.
It is a tear jerker with lot of twists and turns, it was a little confusing for me as I had not read the other books in the series. The book is indeed a page-turner, though I felt it was a little intense for me, considering that I barged into this book before reading the prequels.

Third Time’s A Ghost (Book Three of the Haunted Ever After series) by Carrie Pulkinen was a fantastic read! Each book in this series was such a knock out, I don’t know if this one was my favorite or not. The storyline was intriguing, interesting and suspenseful. All the characters were amazingly written, including the ghosts as well. Each book I read by Pulkinen just gets better and better. I can’t wait for the next book or the next series! This one was absolutely amazing, especially if you like “cozy” type ghost stories. I wish there were more books to come in this series!

Kris and Nicole are two people in love, they are a husband and wife team with two kids, a team which normally work well together, they have the week worked out around work, play and family life, but they also work in high power and long hour jobs, two in Nicole’s case and as much as they try, but when they try and communicate, it doesn’t always work out as planned and fights do happen, even though the makeup sex is most definitely worth it when all is forgiven.
Tuesday morning rises up bright and early with Kris and Nicole’s daughter bouncing up and down on his stomach as Nicole gets ready for work, he is hoping that after their fight the night before that she will forgive him and that there will be a white rose on her pillow to confirm it, but he is also dreading if it isn’t there at the same time, but when it is, he is giddy with happiness and he wants to tell her how he feels, but doesn’t get the chance, she is still acting a little cool towards him, but it is because her boss has sprung another last minute dinner on her, so he is in charge of the kids again.
While he is sat having breakfast, he thinks about the rose tradition and when it started on their honeymoon, the discussion which led to it and the actions it led to, not to mention thinking about the crazy hot sex they had been having multiple times a day while on it, after Nicole had complained about the fake roses and demanded fresh ones, they had an unplanned discussion about their parents and what they thought of their kids spouses, but this led to an argument and Nicole leaving their suite, however when she returned to find that Kris had fallen out of the bed and onto his front, she tells him that she realised while out walking why she love him and darn it had to practically bribe a hotem employee to find her one of the fake roses she hated so much and that leads to more love making and deciding on what their first kids names would be.
When she sets off and takes their son with her, he and his daughter spend some time together before he drops her off at kindergarten, but she straight up tells him that she heard them fighting the night before and that it upset her brother so she had to look after him, Kris is gutted to hear it and the fact that they were so wrapped up in their own argument, they didn’t hear them. Meanwhile, Nicole is driving to work, but has to stop on the side of the road when she starts to cry thinking about the conversation she overheard between Kris and their daughter, it upsets their son, so she bribes him with cookies and asks him not to tell the others she was crying, she is also thinking about how she knows that her daughter is a daddy’s girl and her son may end up the same way, even if he isn’t at the moment, that could change, she feels guilty that she doesn’t spend as much time with them as she would like, but when she forgets about an important meeting at her daughters school which she insisted on going to by herself, she is confronted by Kris when the school phoned him at work to find out why she didn’t turn up, this is something she knows she has done wrong, but when she tries to make it up to them with a tech free weekend, she breaks another promise, but this time one that Kris made to her daughter and she realises that she has really screwed up this time when she tries to sneak a call to her boss in and is caught in the act by her daughter.
As the tensions rise in the household and despite both parties trying to communicate and not quite managing, things keep happening to thwart their efforts, including Nicole’s boss opening up about his own marital problems, but hearing how easy marriages can fall apart, she starts to worry if hers is heading the same way, but can they work out their differences and remember what they love about each other before it is too late? This is a romance about enduring love and what keeping a marriage together can really take, it is a realistic take on the genre and one which takes you on an emotional rollercoaster too while you read to the end to find out what happens.

Third Time’s A Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance is the third book in the Haunted Ever After series by Carrie Pulkinen. As expected, this is another fun paranormal romance from Ms. Pulkinen- packed plenty of the paranormal, ghosts, danger, romance, chemistry, steamy encounters, mystery, intrigue, and more. I was intrigued by Gabe from the moment we met him back in book one- being a friend of Allison’s, and fellow ‘ghostbuster’. So, finding that he get’s his own story here was a bit of a bonus for me- and as I soon discovered, there is more to him than just his paranormal investigator and IT specialist tag. Add Erica and the whole ‘haunted theatre’ developments- and things get very intriguing in a heck of a hurry. This story is every bit as good as the other two books, making it hard for me to choose a favourite from the three. It could be read as a standalone, as each book in the series focuses on a different couple, but having said that, I really do recommend reading the first two books before beginning on this one, as there are recurring characters to meet- as well as two other fantastic stories that you would miss out on otherwise. Highly recommended for all paranormal romance lovers!

This is a great SciFi, Paranormal story. I would say that this would be a great additional story for the Young Adult genre as well. Even though this book is Book 5 of the series, it can be a stand alone. The plotline is a fast paced post-apocalyptic suspenseful story. I could not stop reading this book. I was turning the pages so fast that I almost got paper cut. It is centered around one character, Max. I felt that she was fully developed and well liked. She was in a tragic accident that changed her life around. She is marked and has to watch her back at all times. She wants to keep those close to her safe. I highly recommend this story to see what happens to Max.

Vengeance (Sundown Series Book 5) By Courtney Konstantin
This book is intriguing, full of suspense, action and what surprised me the most was how emotional it was. Even though this is the fifth book in the series it can be read as a stand alone. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what’s going to happen next. There are wonderful characters in this story and you can’t help but become invested. I don’t normally read zombie stories but this one is more than a zombie story, it is different than any I have read before. I really enjoyed the dynamics in this family and their different personalities. This is a well written book that was enjoyable to read. I recommend this book.View all my reviews

Third Time’s a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen is the third book in the Haunted Ever After series. This can be read as a standalone but a highly recommend the entire series in order. There are recurring characters who pop up in all the books. This book focuses on IT/paranormal investigator Gage and Erica a psychic mystic theatre owner. The two have a past but can they move forward and renew their friendship. This is a fun, paranormal romance. The characters are fun and I was rooting for them to have a HEA ending. I also enjoyed the story of a theater and the ghosts who inhabit the space. This is a quick, enjoyable read that left me wanting more in the series. I look forward to what this author comes out with next.

This is the third book in the Haunted Ever After Series. Like with any book in a series, starting with the first book is best. Although this book can be read as a standalone. This is a fun, paranormal, geeky, mystery, thriller, romance story and is written fantastically. I was drawn into yet another amazing story by this author. Erica Miller who happens to be a psychic medium, inherits a haunted community theater from her childhood mentor who has recently passed in a peculiar way. She makes a go at the theater and things keep going wrong. She runs into her childhood best-friend Gage whom she seeks help from to help with the glitching lights at the theater. Gage Dawson is a brilliant IT worker by day and a paranormal investigator by night, whom sucks at the dating. When Erica asks for his help he is joyed to help her. He wants his relationship with Erica to move to the next level. But will the spirits in her newly owned theater interfere? I truly enjoyed this book and am sad that it is the last in the series. But overall loved the whole series and I recommend it!

Daughter Dawson is a clinical psychologist with her own practice and a loving family backing up her every decision, but that all changes when she goes for a job interview at a prison where she is trapped in a room with someone and a secret is revealed that she cannot believe and then she is sworn to secrecy and is threatened with severe repercussions if it is revealed. Dolan Watts is an FBI agent with a haunted past, he has grown up in foster care feeling that he can only rely on himself and that despite his independence, he is lacking and that he has to go everything alone, this lands him in trouble one day when he is working undercover and breaks his cover to apprehend a criminal who is escaping, but nobody is willing to believe him when he tries to explain what he has just witnessed and the fact that he isn’t a team player or someone who plays by the rules ends up with him having to see a psychologist. What neither Daughter or Dolan expect is that they will end up as therapist and client after what each of them know but cannot tell the other, however, the one thing that they can’t avoid or deny is the instant attraction which they feel, but cannot act on due to professional boundaries, but they agree that in time, maybe they can acknowledge their feelings after some time has passed.
Two years to the day later and Daughter is trying to decide whether to make the phone call she desperately wants to, but she is running scenarios through her head of what might have happened in the intervening years and hesitates, in the end, she decides to call her mother up for some advice, but when she doesn’t get an answer she goes to their house, however when she gets there, her worst nightmares become reality but instead of calling 911, she calls Dolan and he immediately gets the address and high tails it over to see her. As Dolan supports her over the next 24 hours as she has to relive her nightmare over and over again, she asks him to stay with her and one thing leads to another and they finally realise that everything they have both been waiting for is reciprocated by the other and as the whole truth comes out, fate intervenes and just as they are starting something meaningful, it is ripped apart.
Dolan then tries to figure out a way from the mess that has been orchestrated around him and as others are dragged into this mess, it is clear that there is someone manipulating them all like puppets and that there are more lies and secrets to unravel before the web can be broken open, but danger and conspiracies surround them, but can Daughter and Dolan figure out who is behind everything, how they are doing it and what the ultimate goal is, or will everyone they love be targeted? This crime thriller is a whirlwind of lies, deceit, ulterior motives and twists and turns which keep you hooked as the mystery increases with the danger and leaves you rushing to find out the conclusion as well.
This is my first book by Abbie Roads. I loved everything about this book. The story line is interesting in itself. There are two. One story line for Daughter Dawson and one for Dolan Watts. This story is so intertwined within every person and situation that happens. Detail oriented and emotional, I couldn’t put this down. The fathers of both Daught and Dolan are nightmares incarnate. This amazing book goes into detail on how to survive when all you have is a spark of hope in your soul. I absolutely recommend this book and Abbie Roads!

The Duncan’s just ROCK! I can’t help but be impressed by this group. They are living in a difficult world now but have become stronger as the days go by. This story kept me reading and on the edge of my seat. Never knowing what was going to happen next unless it involved the infected (then…I knew). The emotions and thought process I went through while reading was enormous! Fright, worry, tears (yes I teared up!), happiness as well as wondering how I would do as one of these Characters…pretty sure the answer is not well.
The characters are simply Bad to the Bone! They all have little issues but they each have wondrous strengths that complement each other. Alex is the leader/mother type figure. But don’t cross her because she will go “Mamma Bear” on you! Rafe and all his knives… he just impresses me! He is a physically and mentally strong one. Max is on another level than these two. She speaks her mind, has one goal and loves her family. I loved watching how these and the others band together and fall apart.
This is an interesting series. I have only read a couple books in here. Each book explains what has happened or is happening to everyone so they are basically stand alones. I loved reading this and look forward to the last in the Sundown Series!

Gage Dawson is an IT genius and repairman by day, but by night he is a paranormal investigator, but despite all that, he really has no luck with dating, he seems to be friend zoned every time at his best and at his worst, he is asked only to repair something in the lucky girls house, but when his sisters find this out at their monthly brunch, they are full of advice for him. Erica Miller is a woman with a painful history, but is now a graphic designer by day and a theater owner by night, she has inherited the theater she used to perform in when her old mentor leaves it to her in her will, but when she is running through the production she has planned with her students and the lights start flickering and she feels cold draughts, she starts to think that it isn’t just electrical gremlins who reside there.
When Gage is called to a floor he doesn’t normally provide IT solutions for at work, the last person he expects to see is that it his childhood friend who left town 10 years before who is the one in need of help, but when his friend who also works on that floor points out that it is Erica Miller who is the one who put in the call, he cannot quite believe it is her and when he finds out that she has been back in town for six months, he doesn’t know quite what to think even though he still feels the same pull as before. However, when Erica sees that Gage is the one who has come to repair her computer, she cannot believe her eyes when she sees how much he has changed since she left and she is confused by the feelings which start to rear their heads when she sees him, but he is all professional and saves her a lot of trouble when he repairs her computer, but talking to one of her coworkers afterwards about her reactions, she is still confused about it all and when she gets home and a ghost shows up at her home, she tries to block them out as well as explain that she can’t help them as much as she would like to.
The next day Gage can’t concentrate on work and is just counting down until he can go up and check on Erica and whether her computer is still working alright, but he knows it is just an excuse to see her, so when he does go up, he invites her to lunch, but she turns him down saying that she needed to work over lunch and help a colleague out, but his friend invites him to after work drinks which Erica agrees to, but Gage noe being a fan of busy places declines, much to her disappointment, but he does give her his number before he leaves and she texts him back almost immediately with hers. Later on Erica is waiting for Gage at the bar, but worries that he isn’t going to turn up, but then her drunk coworker comes up and comes onto her, but the way he approaches it makes Erica feel angry rather than happy as he says derogatory things about her a the same time, Gage just happens to choose this moment to enter the bar and hearing this punches him in the face, Ericca is shocked but pulls him out of the bar to talk to him and have that catch up after all. Gage goes outside with her and listens to all that has happened to her over the last few years and as it progresses all of those feelings are brought back to the service, but he is shocked and elated at the same time when Erica leans in to kiss him just before they both leave for the evening.
As the time passes and Erica spends more time with Gage, she realises that she has feelings for him too, but when she starts having to spend more time at the theater, more strange things start to happen, she opens up to Gage about it and this is when she finds out that he understands and offers to help, she declines at first, but as she starts to experience blackouts and time loss, she asks for his help, but what they discover has nothing to do with the known spirits who live there, but when things start to get dangerous and the blackouts increase, she realises that she has to open up fully to Gage in more ways than one, but when the secrets of her past are revealed, will Gage be as open to them as she hopes, or will the ghosts come between them and ruin their fledgling romance? This romance has comedy and the paranormal in spades, but it also has you rooting for Erica and Gage as their story progresses and it leaves you guessing what will happen right up until the end.

This was yet another page turner by Amy McKinley and book two in her ‘Deadly Isles Special Ops Series’. It can be read as a standalone story but I recommend the previous book, ‘Twisted Secrets’ as it was a great read. In ‘Bound by Secrets’ book reviewer Kayla Kane is on the run from an abusive boyfriend. Not wanting to put her parents at risk she goes to her brother’s best friend and former Navy SEAL Jaxon for a safe place to stay. Jaxon also happens to be the man that she has been attracted to since for ever and who she shared one unforgettable summer night with a decade ago. Jaxon Hale has never found a woman who compares to Kayla and it was only a promise that he made to Kayla’s brother that stopped him from telling her how he felt about her but now that she’s come back into his life he’s determined to have a relationship with her. He just needs to keep her safe first from her stalker of an ex boyfriend, and so asks Kayla to stay with him. However, they soon discover that living together will be more complicated then they thought as their mutual attraction cannot be denied. When tensions, painful memories and secrets are all bought up and the threat to Kayla gets nearer the couple risk loosing each other for good. This novel has a fast paced storyline and a gripping narrative which had me hooked from the start. I liked the main characters and the chemistry between Kayla and Jaxon really came across and the second chance at love element added to the overall story. The plot had plenty of twists and turns that I was kept guessing until the end. This fairly short novel had a mix of romance, drama, suspense and mystery and I found myself completely immersed in the story.

Once again Pulkinen did not disappoint, this story, much like the second instalment, had lots of fun and witty banter and again the romantic relationship felt natural and not forced. I love the whole friends-to-lovers thing, I always think that the relationships feel as though they have more depth and nothing between them feels rushed. In this story, Gage is a paranormal investigator who’s a dab hand with all things electronic but cannot for the life of him make a relationship work. As great as his track record is investigating all things ghostly, his dating track record is dead on arrival, and haunting him frequently is the love that he never admitted to when he was in high school and hopelessly in love with the girl next door. Erica, the afore-mentioned girl next door, happens to be a psychic medium (convenient huh) and when one particular ghost starts causing her more hassle than she can handle alone, she decides to call her old nerdy friend gage to help with the situation. Thing is, nerdy friend got hot and she really wasn’t expecting that (some psychic, am I right). As I’ve said before this has all of the Pulkinen awesomeness; it’s funny, great supernatural elements, a bit saucy and steamy as well as having awesome characters, that while being knee-deep in the paranormal, still feel achingly real. Pulkinen is fast becoming one of my favourite authors to read, especially if I’m fancying something fun and light to put a smile on my face, on that, Pulkinen always delivers.

I really enjoy just about anything that Maddie Wade writes but this one, this one has to be a favorite top read for sure. Gunner is definitely a novel that will rip you apart as you read and follow Gunner in his growth and determination to save face and make up for the pain he caused his sister so many years ago. Things have the added element of danger and adventure as Gunner works Eidolon, and the romance is enough to have you cheering for happily ever after after the first kiss. I couldn’t put this read down and soaked it all in, in one solid sit down so I’d prepare yourself with your fav drink and cozy spot. This is one you won’t want to miss!

Third Time’s a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance is the third book in the Haunted Ever After series by Carrie Pulkinen. I have read this series from the start and would highly recommend doing the same, that way you will have already met the characters and have a feel for the series, I think it makes the book even more enjoyable.
In this third instalment we follow the story of Gage and Erica. Gage is a paranormal investigator, he hunts out and investigates all that goes bump in the night. Erica is a medium in need of a bit of extra help. The pair start off as friends, but the chemistry soon takes over and they become much more.
I love the series and enjoyed this third instalment, although not quite as much as the first two books. I struggled with Erica a bit, she’s not quite what I pictured for Gage, and I’m still not 100% if I like her….but at the same time, I love that the author gives us a variety of characters. I hate it when you read a series of books and every character (especially the leads) are pretty much identical. So I may not love Erica, but I enjoyed getting frustrated at her and wanting to shout at her throughout the book. I always enjoy the fun and humour that the author brings to her stories.

Price Of A Rose: A Beauty & Beast Tale by Byrd Nash is the second book in the Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings series. This is a sweet story that puts a unique twist on the classic story. This is a story that has been retold many different times in many different ways and yet this is the first time I have read a version involving 3 sisters. The story was sweet and heartwarming, a clean romance suitable for young adults and above. I found myself getting lost in the story and enjoyed every moment that I was reading it. This is a series that I have enjoyed so far and I am definitely looking forward to what the author has in store for us next.

Gunner: An Eidolon Black Ops Novel by Maddie Wade- Review by Krista Vaughan
This is the first novel I have read of the Eidolon Black ops series and I will DEFINITELY be reading them ALL! The introductions to the other men of Eidolon have me itching to read the rest of the series!
Gunner was a member of this elite group until he was forced to betray them in an act of desperation. The loss of the tight-knit relationship he had with the men leaves him guilty and lost. The guilt that Gunner lives with made my heart ache. He doesn’t seem to realize how amazing he is in his strength and loyalty. When he comes across Lacey again after having met her once before, I was hopeful that she would help him. The passion they have held for each other was something that leapt of off the pages at you!
This is a MUST READ! Don’t miss out on the excitement and passion of Gunner and Lacey!

I still love this series, the character, Beck, is developing more as we continue to read about her, also her continued relationship with Devon is continuing to become better with each installment. I love these books, because I personally would love to live where she does and do what she does, these stories take me away and that is what I like about reading, a smooth story that keeps my attention and fun characters that make me feel like I could be them. I continue to recommend this series and this author!

Hungry Business is a short story, however it draws you in from the start and holds my attention. In some ways it was gross, disturbing and dark read. However captivating story of how things are after a dark time. A person’s fight to find normal in an abnormal situation. A story of how adaptable a person can be and still look for love in a dark and desolate world. In the end finding just what she was looking for! I recommend this story, and this author!

Third Time’s a Ghost (Haunted Ever After Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen 4 Stars
This is a fun, ghostly romance. It is the third installment in this series and probably my favourite. Ms. Pulkinen knows how to pull in her readers with lovable characters and a story that is intriguing. This book has some added mystery and danger. Erica has always been psychic. She’s hidden her talent her whole life. She inherits a theatre that has a few ghosts attached to it. She recently bumped into her old high school friend Gage Dawson and realized that he grew into a very handsome man. Gage has always been in love with Erica but never had the guts to tell her. Meeting her again has given him a second chance. Unfortunately he has never had any luck with girls and is nervous that it won’t work out. Since Gage has already investigated the theatre before, he knows about the ghosts that live there. Yet stranger things are starting to occur with Erica and Gage is worried. An obvious lack of communication between the two puts Erica in harm’s way. They will need to work together to stay alive.
I enjoyed the fact that Gage got his own book. He has always been a secondary character in this series and I think he deserved his own story. With Erica and Gage’s back story, it made their romance even more meaningful. I loved the fact that Gage was able to see past her scars and love her for her. This book was a great addition to this series.

When you are completely broken, you have betrayed the family you have ever known to help your true blood family will they ever be able to forgive you.
Gunner is left broken, paying for the decisions he made against the people he deemed his only family but how could he have left his sister after she needed him when she was kidnapped. He is now in so much grief he does not know how he can carry on to live in this world with this guilt punishing him all the time.
Lacey has decided she can’t take the fame and abandons her life in the limelight to a quiet town but she always goes back to the time she had that one true love and he totally hurt her, until the day he walks back into her life and she sees he is just as broken as she is. Can they both heal each other or will a distraction threaten to end this budding relationship or can they both find the courage to fight for what they both want.
This is the first book I have read from this author and oh my I enjoyed every word from start to finish. I loved the broken nature of Gunner, who in essence should be a stone hard fighting machine but to see him so broken and lost was heart-breaking. When the two characters meet there is that initial chemistry but it smoulders underneath as they are trying to figure each other out all this time. My lord then adds in the element of the twist of who is after them and will their new found relationship recover brilliantly. The story is well written and the characters within the book are well developed and just enhance the story. I read this as a stand-alone story which I think is fine, but to truly get the family feel from the group I think I need to start at the beginning and read the series (oh what a hardship LOL). I think I have found my new obsession for the next few weeks.

Third Times a Ghost is the 3rd instalment in the Haunted Ever After Series by Carrie Pulkinen. This book was my favourite so far. I felt such a strong dislike for the ghost and found myself wanting to shout at the main character for her to listen to Gage. I love that I was so engrossed by it. This book follows Gage, who was friend-zoned in the first book, while he reconnects with his former best friend and unrequited first love Erica. Erica has returned to town after failing to make it big in Hollywood and has reluctantly taken over the local theatre after inheriting it from a friend. When Erica starts experiencing some weird gaps in her memory she is hesitant to ask Gage for help. Their path doesn’t run smoothly for their romance with Gage’s meddling sisters and Erica’s very opinionated spirit. I really enjoyed this series and look forward to reading more work by this author.

LOVED THIS!! Another one hit out of the ballpark from one of my favorite all time authors. If you haven’t read anything by Maddie Wade up to now.. Even though I love reading all of hers in order this could absolutely be read as a standalone, but be aware that the characters from other books do play into this story and having the whole of this series is for me personally a must.
This one had my emotions a total mess especially going through some of my own issues, which I loved because it brought out tears I needed to shed. I loved this story, it was very powerful and had quite a few moving parts which were done perfectly. I connected easily to the characters and strengthened connections I already had with others.
Not giving away any of the storyline so I will just say, do yourself a favor and read this series, it is amazing and this author is a definite one click..doesn’t matter what she writes.
Another one sitting read because I couldn’t put it down!

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the way the author writes and how we get to see the marriage and the story from both sides. This books shows that marriage isn’t always perfect, that no matter how perfect things look that isn’t always the case. As a married woman myself I can relate to some of the issues in this book and the feelings that have been felt by both characters. It is a really raw true to life read.
Nicole is a hard working woman. She works full time and her job is important. Mostly her job takes priority for her children which is hard for them to accept.
Kris works hard too but he spends more time with his children. While he had a good relationship with his children, Nicole does not and it seems everytime she tried it fails.
Nicole knows her marriage isn’t perfect but when her boss Darren confides in her about his marriage problems it’s makes Nicole worry about her own marriage.
Are her and Kris as strong as she thinks? Can they really overcome everything or are they need their breaking point?

What a cute book!!! Carrying the essence of a friends-to-lover’s romance as well as a mystery, the story is in-depth. The characters are well depicted and represented. The author does an amazing job of being as descriptive as possible, making the reader feel that they are there watching the story unfold. This series is a must read for light hearted paranormal romance fans.
