Twisted Throttle is the third book in the Satan’s Devil’s MC Second Generation Series by Manda Mellett. Holy Cow what a wild ride that once you start reading you won’t want to stop till you’ve finished. This author is my favorite MC Romance author her attention to detail and her ability to grab ahold of you from the beginning.

Jinxed (Hell on Heels Book 2) by Maggie Adams – Review by Felicia Bates

Jinxed (Hell on Heels, #2)Jinxed by Maggie Adams

Jinxed is the second book in Maggie Adams’ Hell on Heels series and while I really enjoyed book one, I loved Jinxed.
I was incredibly excited when I first read the synopsis because honestly, this short read has everything I love. Empaths, occult and soul connections but I was fearful that I was setting my expectations too high! Maggie Adams exceeded my expectations with a fast paced, engaging story with characters I loved.
This short story is less than 100 pages in length so really, what harm is there to take a chance on this (in my opinion) 5 star read?
I look forward to more from Maggie Adams in the future!

Twisted Throttle (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #3)Twisted Throttle by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was excited to finally get to read the next book in this series. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down.
Throttle is the club enforcer who doesn’t commit to any woman. When he sets his eyes on a new waitress at a club restaurant he realizes it’s a friend of his sisters.

Gwen crushed on Throttle growing up but he never looked at her in the way she wanted. Now as they get to know each other again sparks start to fly between them. I really liked Gwen, she is a very strong woman who had to take care of herself at a very young age.

There is a scary twist and a stalker comes into the story. Will Throttle be able to keep Gwen safe? And who is sending Throttle gifts?

Overall this was a read that pulled me right in and I couldn’t wait to see what was coming next. All of the characters added a great element to the story. We get mystery, hot steamy moments and so much more. If you’re looking for a great MC series to read I highly recommend this one. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Four Star

This was not a bad read. Not my favorite from this author. It definitely had potential it just lacked the same thrill his other works gave. The plot was interesting. Someone is targeting yachts and sailboats while demanding money from the government. With the help of his dog Cody will they be able to stop this before more people are harmed, killed and homeless? I really wanted to like it but it was just missing something. I do like Jake he’s a very entertaining character. He has such an amazing sense of justice. Overall the book wasn’t terrible and worth a read. The author has an amazing writing skill.

Twisted Throttle: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #3  by Manda Mellett

I have no idea how many of the Satan’s Devils books I have read, but I love the original series and the spinoffs. The second generation books may be my favorite since we have “known” these kids since they were born and now they are all grown up and following down their own paths.

Of the second generation this may be my favorite.   I really had a hard time putting this one down.  I was caught up in the story and wanted to see what was going to happen next and I was not disappointed.

Throttle is blindsided more than once and I was happy to see him meet his match.  Oh and the stalker!  Wow, did not see that interesting bombshell until it exploded.

I cannot recommend this book enough.  I floved it and can’t wait for her next book to drop.

Brilliant! Utterly brilliant! I truly love how the author has put a fresh spin on classic fairy tales and combined them into something completely new yet remaining true to its counterparts. This whole serious has captured my heart and been such a wonderful escape. You can read them as stand alone novels but they do build off one another in a way that they are best appreciated in series order. I can’t help but hope that the author will be bringing us more fairy tale goodness. So good!

Peaceful Slumber (Soul Connection Book 1) by Nikki Lynn Barrett – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Peaceful Slumber (Soul Connection, #1)Peaceful Slumber by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After coming back from a brush with death a couple of years ago, Scott can now see dead people. This is not something he is too fond of because once the dead know he can see them, they flock to him. However, at his uncle’s funeral, he sees the ghost of a dead bride in a blood-covered wedding dress. He finds her intriguing and offers to help her find out who she is and how she ended up dead.

Zelda wakes up with no recollection of who she is or how she got where she is. She can see that she is in a wedding dress (which is covered in blood) but can’t remember anything. She quickly finds out that no one can see her, so she must be dead. When she comes across a funeral, she is surprised to find one person who may actually see her. When her and Scott begin to uncover the truth about her past…it comes as quite a shock (to both Zelda and the reader).

Can they uncover the mystery behind her death before she has to move on to whatever afterlife awaits her? And even though they are both in different realms, what is this connection that can be felt between Scott and Zelda?

This is a new-to-me author…but it definitely won’t be the only book I read from them. I found myself pulled into the story from the first chapter. I couldn’t (or wouldn’t) put it down until I got to the end to find out what really happened. There were twists and turns…tears and relief…suspense and mystery…this story has it all. I enjoyed it and will definitely be checking out the rest of the series.

I will never ever get enough of this series from Meghan O’Flynn. I picked up that first book in the Ash Park Series way back a few years ago and I have personally reread all of them a time or two since. This newest addition, Savage, will be no different and I am sure will find myself picking it back up soon. O’Flynn does a wonderful job of writing these books so realistically you feel as if you are really right there in the gore and danger along with the detectives. We see our old friend again, Detective Petrosky, and boy he did not disappoint this time around either. I loved these books so much and I could never say enough good things about them, but I will not divulge any of the details because these are books that have to be read and discovered page by page by each person. They will keep you up at night finding out what is going to happen and then haunt your dreams as you try to actually sleep. This is one series you do not want to miss out on, and Savage is one of my favorites of the whole thing so don’t wait, one-click today!

In Over Her Head: Lights, Camera, Anxiety (The Cecily Taylor Series #2)In Over Her Head: Lights, Camera, Anxiety by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second novel in The Cecily Taylor Series and I personally recommend that you read the first book before diving into this one. This one deals with where Cecily is after making her big decision that was the center of the first book. I won’t give much details outside of what you already find in the synopsis because that would spoil the whole novel in my opinion. This is one you will find yourself feeling a tad nostalgic if you are more my age, for your high school years. I personally loved high school so this was right up my alley and felt relatable in some ways. I like how this may not be the easiest storyline to find believable outside of dreams but the way the characters grow and develop with what is happening and the coming of age is very true to the realities that teenagers face on the daily. I will be sharing this series with my daughter in the near future before she dives into high school herself. I think this is another good quality for a book to have. The ability to span across ages and touch each reader. Ms. Hager does a wonderful job of this. I very much look forward to seeing what will come in the third book.

Scorching Hot Mess by Brooke May

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by May, but it is the first one by her that is a standalone. May is talented and it shows in the way she writes.

Willow hasn’t had much luck in the dating department. Going out with her brother and sister-in-law ends with her waking at their house the next morning. From there things go downhill and fast. The quote I chose for Willow is: “I’ll keep a hold of them until I’ve had more time to think about it.”

Gun didn’t want to think about Willow, but doing a fundraiser with her doesn’t help. Sophie leaves and all Willow does is remind him of her. The quote I chose for Gun is: “I’ll see myself out. Good-bye, Willow.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Comedy lovers.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the Hell on Heels series from Maggie Adams, so book two was a no brainer one-click for me. This book is probably safe to read as a standalone if that is more your thing though. I really love how relatable Maggie Adams manages to make her characters. They are realistic and encounter realistic things that make it that much more believable.

In this quick but packed read, Jinxed, we get the story of Mitchell and Sadie. These two are the epitome of opposites attract and reading the journey is both a funny and loveable read. I really was pulling for these two to get that happily ever after. I cannot wait to see what the next book may bring us.

Annette Nauraine is a new author for me. I enjoyed this historical romance. The plotline is fresh and unique. Her characters are complex and full of energy. I felt myself living through Countess Zdenka. Her struggle is real. She has been deceiving everyone. She did not think that she would find love, but she was wrong. Now, what will she do? Is she going to lose the opportunity for love? I recommend reading this story for a historical romance mystery.

Twisted Throttle: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #3 by Manda Mellett – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Twisted Throttle (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #3)Twisted Throttle by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is for those over 18 due to adult content and possible triggers.

Throttle is the Sergeant At Arms in the Satan’s Devils MC and he lives and breathes the club, the life and the women which he propositions and he wants nothing else, he is the happiest he has ever been and change is the last thing he wants, despite his parents best efforts at requesting it.

Today he is dealing with a slight to the club, someone has stolen a Prospects motorbike and that is something which is a sin, a mans bike is sacrosanct and nobody should touch it without their permission, but to let their bike be stolen is just as bad, even if they were only away from it for a few minutes, but as usual the clubs resident technical wizz has trawled through endless amounts of CCTV and actually found it, now they just have to pay a visit to the scrapyard when it has been traced to. Throttle is more than ready for this type of action, it has been to quiet for him as of late, so getting the opportunity to grab the guys who stole it, find out what they were planning to do with it and take them to task while telling them the mistake they have made and the consequences which go along with it, none of which is pleasant, for them at least. After the warning has been given and the people of interest have been returned to their workplace in a much worse state than when they left it, Throttle’s dad asks him for a word and they talk about what his parents wanted for him and how he only ever wanted to be in the MC when he didn’t sign up to the armed forces, much to his parents’ relief, they also discuss the fellow member who has had mental health issues and making sure that Throttle isn’t heading the same way and whether his is happy, as well as says that he is not altogether appreciative of his lifestyle of one night stands and carousel of women he knows his son consorts with.

After the heated discussion, he is needing some space as his emotions are running high, Throttle heads to the bar/ restaurant the Devil’s own where he can get something to eat and a drink, but he doesn’t expect to see a girl he knew as a kid and hasn’t seen for years working there. As they catch up, it is like those years disappear and she seems to have her life sorted out which makes Throttle happy to hear, but as she is working, the conversation peters out and he instead goes on the prowl and sees someone he thinks may be the next to ride his carousel, however, the chance disappears until the manager of the restaurant asks him to come back the next day to help manage a bachelorette party, to which he agrees. The next day he returns to help out, but ends up following the group to the next venue, which happens to be a strip club also owned by the Devils, much to his annoyance, but the same woman who caught his eye propositions him at the end of the night and he agrees to go back to her place, but when he sets out the rules, he assumes she will follow them, that is until the next day when she tries to get him to go out with her, he refuses and thinks no more of it.

When he returns to the clubhouse later that evening, he hears that one of the waitresses has been hurt and when he realises that it is his childhood friend, he rushes to her side at the hospital after stopping at the bar to see what happened. The next day he receives an expensive gift from a mystery person and as he tries to follow up on this, he is still checking in on his friend, but he is starting to think about her more and more and this has him worried, especially when he finds out that her house has also been ransacked. As time passes and his friend heals, he is tailed by a mystery car multiple times as he checks on her, followed by a further gift and silent phone calls, this mystery deepens and he gets involved with someone else,
but cannot see how they are all connected and neither can anyone else, is it a jilted lover, someone with it in for the MC, or something else entirely? This fast paced romp is a romance with a mysterious and dangerous twist as things out of Throttle’s control keep happening until he has no idea what is happening and you are pulled along on the journey with him you are just as mystified until the ending is revealed.

The SEAL's Temptation (Wounded Hearts #7)The SEAL’s Temptation by Jacquie Biggar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an engaging and gripping romance with plenty of drama and suspense which kept me happily turning the pages. DEA Agent Maggie Holt has spent eighteen months undercover in a Mexican cartel and she now feels like the amazing agent that she was is now gone and she feels broken. Maggie is suffering with guilt and nightmares and when she is forced to take paid leave she accepts the offer of a vacation on a ranch. The range belongs to the man who rescued her from an almost certain death, Frank Stein who is a retired Chief Petty Officer SEAL. Having suffered from PTSD himself he recognises the symptoms in Maggie when she arrives and hopes she will find the peace on his ranch that he did. Frank is interested in seeing if a relationship could develop between himself and Maggie but Maggie’s DEA partner Adam O’Connor is also in the mix. Adam is angry that she went against orders to go undercover putting herself at risk however, he loved her once and could again, if she’d let him. A right-wing militia group infiltrates the area and Maggie, Adam, and Frank have to work together before someone dies. Maggie has to choose between the handsome cowboy, Frank or her charismatic DEA partner, Adam. This book had me hooked from start to finish and the suspenseful plot ensured I could not put the book down. I liked the three main characters and how their different relationships developed and the interactions between them. The narrative flowed well and I felt immersed in the storyline.

Peaceful Slumber will have you flipping pages faster than you can blink. Nikki Lynn Barrett has really outdone herself with this “ghost story”. After reading the synopsis of this story i was hooked right away, and Nikki definitely did not disappoint. Peaceful Slumber is an emotional roller coaster ride so make sure you have a box of tissues handy for all the tear jerking moments, but youll have quite a few heart-warming moments and be smiling by the end. But if you want a ghost story full of  twists and turns, love, deceit, wonderfully developed characters and a plot that keeps you guessing until the very end then I highly recommend Peaceful Slumber.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is only for those over 18 with adult content and may contain triggers within.

Amy is a 27 year old woman who has grown up with the Satan’s Devils and branched out on her own to attend college and get a degree in nursing, albeit to the frustration and worry of her parents, but she is successful and knows what she wants out of life and one thing is to return home every Christmas and see her parents, sibling and the extended family of those living around her, but this year she is dreading it, she is worried that they will see right through her and want to deal with her problem’s the only way she knows how, but she might just manage it with Xander by her side.

As they drive towards the compound, Xander asks her how she is feeling as they get nearer to Tucson and her home, she replied honestly that she is worried and is tempted to go back, but she knows that if she isn’t there, then her family will definitely suspect something and that is the last thing she wants, but even though Xander is trying to convince her that she needs to open up to them about what happened, she is more worried about what their reaction is going to be. It is her fault the event happened and they will all just blame her and agree that she was at fault, but she is so glad that he is there with her so he can help her as he has done for the last three months. As they approach the compound, they stop at the gate so they can be let in and Xander admires the area as it is not what he expected at all, but everything is as she expects and hopes they have waited so that their traditions can be kept up where she puts the last decoration up on the tree. After this has been completed, Amy introduces her friend to everyone, but she awkwardly tries to avoid hugs from the men around her, although she doesn’t hesitate with her dad or the ladies and kids and she is more than thankful that Xander helps her to do that, using wanting to freshen up and unpack as their excuse.

As they unpack, she fills Xander in when he asks about the Club and the people in it, but understands that he can only know so much, but he also knows when to push and when not to, meanwhile her dad is talking to her mum and is worried about her and a little bit about the man she is with, albeit the usual checks have been done, then they reminisce about her childhood and how she had grown into exactly what she wanted to be. As they go back to the clubhouse, they meet up with another member and talk about her and get his view on the situation and he feels the same way that they do, that something isn’t right, but to wait and see what it is. Later on as preparations for the family meal are going on Xander goes straight in and helps where needed as Amy spends time catching up with the family, this is appreciated, but as she talks to her dad, he is watching for her reactions to his questions and the feeling that something isn’t right is solidified, especially as he notices more little things as the evening progresses and he is determined to find out what it is and so asks Xander to have a chat in the morning.

As Xander reassures Amy that nobody noticed anything was amiss, they go about their normal nightly routine, including helping her deal with her nightmares, which she appreciates more than she can tell him and to help calm her, he asks how Christmas works so he knows what to expect later on in the day. The next morning, they exchange gifts and head down to the clubhouse for breakfast and although she is worried, Amy goes along too, but when someone puts his arm around her she goes into a full blown panic attack and has to be taken outside, but just as Xander is talking to her, her dad comes out and overhears them talking, this is where Xander ends up telling him everything. Will Amy be able to handle the rest of Christmas day and be able to relax around her family, or will what they find out tarnish their view of her forever? This is another fantastic installment which deals with some heavy topics, but is engrossing as you ride along with the Devils.

Peaceful Slumber (Soul Connection Book 1) by Nikki Lynn – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Peaceful Slumber (Soul Connection, #1)Peaceful Slumber by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Scott is a teenager and a bit of a recluse, he is jaded and sarcastic and pushes people away and keeps his own council, he doesn’t get along with his parents, or at least he doesn’t now, not since he died and was brought back, but the only problem with that is that now he can see the dead when nobody else can and that is why he is how he is. She is a ghost, she is wearing a wedding dress covered in blood and has no memories of who she is or what has happened, apart from that she is dead and nobody can see her, that is until she locks eyes with someone at a funeral and that all changes.

I have woken up in a dark place with fog swirling around my feet, I can’t feel anything and I can’t see anybody else around me, but I’m shivering and can feel a cold wind swirling around me, but as I start to panic, I can hear voices, someone sobbing and others trying to comfort them, but when I try to make contact, they can’t hear me. Scott is at the funeral of his Uncle, they are gathered around the grave while the ceremony is conducted, he is there for his Aunt and nobody else, but the dead are all around him and trying to get his attention, so far he has managed to ignore them all, if not, then they will swarm him and ask for his help, that is until one female ghost catches his attention, she is wearing a bloody wedding dress and for some reason he can’t look away and she notices and looks relieved. After he has finished avoiding his parents, he goes over to talk to her, and albeit he is short with her, she doesn’t back off and he is surprised to find that he invites her back to his house so he can help her.

Why did I have to find the one sarcastic guy in the world who can see me, even worse, I’m slightly attracted to him, as I ask him question and he does in return, how little memories I have are worrying and I don’t know what to do, but as Scott seems to be my only ally and we seem to get on well, I’ll take a chance. I get annoyed with Scott when he keeps calling me Ghost Bride, so I ask him to give me a different name and one he likes, he comes up with Zelda, apparently a character from a video game, but I like it, so that is one thing, as he suggests getting the laptop out to start on the research, I realise that I am happy that he will help me when nobody else can. Scott meanwhile is realising that this ghost is attractive, funny and can give the sarcasm as much as he can, so he decides that helping her could be fun, until she leaves, but still he cannot stop himself from noticing how attractive she is and how even though he knows she is dead, he still can’t ignore the fact that she makes him feel alive again.

Will Scott and Zelda be able to figure out who she is and how she died and how will this affect them both of the mystery can be solved? This is a romance with a very paranormal twist, with a mystery you will want to solve as well.
