Motherland (Tom Grant #3)Motherland by Samantha Adair
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Motherland (The Tom Grant Series Book 3) by Samantha Adair is the third installment in the Tom Grant series, and I have to say, it can’t get more action-packed than this! First of all, I love Isabella. She is the strong female protagonist I always look for. And Tom is the genuinely great supporting guy that balances her out. To fulfill her father’s wishes, Isabella returns his ashes to his home country and action and suspense ensue. This has all the components of a great action/romance thriller, and it was hard to put down and get back to reality. I have not read the first two books in this series, but they are absolutely on my list now. This can be read by itself, but I assume it will only be better if you read them in sequence. Seriously, don’t miss out on this series. 4 out of 5 stars!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First time reading this author. I feel like she did a great job portraying the college scene. It kind of made me reflect on my college years as I read it. While I am not a rich kid waiting to take over daddy’s business, I could relate to the wanting to have fun and put off becoming an adult. But then, when you meet the one you are meant for, it is unavoidable to grow up!

This is for mature audiences!

This is my first time reading this author. And I have to say that I really enjoyed it! I was drawn in from the very beginning by the characters. Even though I have not read the first 2 books in the series, I did not feel like I was missing too much. The author did a great job including some of the back story so I wasn’t completely lost.

Tom Grant was a likeable character as was Isabella/Irina. I am looking forward to reading more about them!

Competing with the StarCompeting with the Star by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a sweet story that deals with coming of age, and navigating all the tricky waters of adolescence. Hadley is a teenager who is starting to date for the first time, and although she seems to have found a great guy, it’s not without its challenges. Especially when your friends seem to be blocking the relationship at every turn. Like the first book in this series, Hadley is learning who her true friends really are, and how complex all relationships can be. Despite second-guessing herself a lot, she does manage to sift through her feelings and find a path that feels true to her.

If you liked Next Door to a Star, you’ll be right at home in the second book in this series. It took me back to the awkward days of high school, with all the feels and confusion and new experiences. Hager has a real gift for letting us remember how that time felt, in all its ups and downs.

Decisions decisions decisions! This is the first book in the series and boy what a beginning. I really found myself hooked to this book and I cannot wait to see how this series pans out. The characters are well written and just jump off of the pages.

I really could feel Vanessa’s emotions as I read the book and I really could sense her love for her brother. I am so hooked that I need to see how this whole story will pan out with not one not two but three hot immortals the rollercoaster ride has just begun. I cannot wait to see how it goes twists and turns and all.

House in the WoodsHouse in the Woods by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was hooked from page one by this gripping crime thriller and was kept guessing until the very last page. Having finished her second year of college Molly Jackson is spending the summer looking after her Mum who has dementia. Molly has to ask her brother Marc for help when their mother goes missing. Whilst searching Molly finds a twenty year old flyer for a missing woman who looks uncannily like herself. Molly can’t shake the feeling that there is more to this women’s disappearance than what has being reported and she also wants to find out why she feels such a strong connection to the missing women, Lucy. As Molly tries to uncover the truth she discovers that Marc and Lucy were high school sweethearts, and as more clues are solved Molly realises that she might not be ready to accept the truth. However, she is determined to solve the mystery before it’s to late. The storyline is fast paced and action packed with plenty of plot twists which had me reading well into the night as I could not put this book down. I felt completely immersed in the story due to the authors descriptive narrative and I felt engaged with the characters, especially Molly who’s sheltered upbringing and innocence came across in the writing making her a particularly likeable character. I was left thinking about the story long after I had finished reading this book and for me that is always a sign of a great read!

This is a quick read that brings you into the world of magic and a promising new series of a small-town coven.

WOW WOW WOW!!! This book had me on the brink throughout. This is the first book I have read from this amazing author India Kells. I will certainly be reading more. This book is based on the mob underworld and has so many twists and turns you will not be able to put it down. Lots of lack of sleep with this one. The character building is phenomenal and you get very attached to the main characters as well as sub characters. I loved Deva and her bravery and outspoken attitude. She is a woman that has come into her own after coming back to Chicago. Is there anyone that can be trusted? I got to a point in this book where there would be a happily ever after or would make me cry my eyes out. India Kells, bravo as this was an amazing read.

Confessions of a Sophomore Prankster: Frat House Confessions by Danielle Jacks is an entertaining story with two absolutely brilliant characters at its centre. I connected with them instantly and loved the interaction between them. It felt so real and believable.
When I started reading this book I expected it to be an easy and fun read that would be amusing. And while it was all of these things it was also more. It had more depth to it then I would have thought and I could feel the emotion. The whole book was really well written and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I am looking forward to exploring more of the books in this collaboration.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Motherland: A Tom Grant Novel is the third book in this series by Samantha Adair.
I would recommend that this book needs to be read after the first two books in the series. There is already so much that has happened, and lots of back story to the characters, that you will be missing out (and possibly a bit confused) if you start at book 3.

As with the other books, I still absolutely love Tom! The far-from-perfect former agent is funny, sexy, smart, and rough around the edges. I think his character, along with that of Isabella, gets better and better throughout the series.
Motherland is another fast-paced read. Honestly, it will have you on the edge of your seat wondering where the author will take you next.
There’s plenty of drama and passion, and it was over far too soon. I can’t wait to read book four.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Arsonist’s Handbook is a psychological thriller by L.A. Detwiler.

I was a little unsure before reading this book, as it’s not usually a genre I pick out, but I’m so glad I did as once I started reading I couldn’t put it down.
This was my first time reading anything by this author, but it won’t be my last. I loved the style of writing that brought this story to life. I thought the journal style of writing was well suited here.
As with a lot of psychological thrillers, this book will keep you guessing throughout….nothing is straightforward and it can mess with your head a little. There is a lot of tragedy and dark times in the story, which can be hard to read at times and certainly makes it a somewhat “heavy” read, but I’m not sure what else a story of this nature could ever be.
This is the type of book you will be thinking about long after finishing it.

Campy. Definition of campy is according to Merriam-Webster is “absurdly exaggerated, artificial, or affected in a usually humorous way.” Planet HY Man, so unlike our own everyday life yet so spot on when you think of the book in terms of our banal emotions and humor. Bravo for Kerrie Noor to be able to make us think about our lives but in a humorous and fun way that seems so ironic and farfetched from our lives as we live them now. The Rise of Manifesto the Great by Kerrie Noor is a great book which I can best describe as campy and full of fun. It really reminded me of the early science fiction films from the 50’s and 60’s. I could really picture Manifesto and the rest of the crew laying around bed-diving and smoking hemp. A battle of the sexes at its funniest! It is so great! What makes it such a great read is that it is original, funny, has a bit of mystery in the book but it is just FUN! If you are looking for a book to help wash away the day’s troubles and fall completely into Manifesto’s world and Planet HY Man, you must read this book

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this feel good contemporary romance which although is part of a series can be read happily as a standalone story. I felt very engaged with the main characters, Setter and Casey and it’s definitely a case of opposites attract. They have instant chemistry but have very different personalities. They are both at College where Setter is a footballer, a jock with a cheeky grin who’s known to be a prankster and a player, meanwhile Casey is more studious and uses education as her escape from thinking about her past, she keeps to her self and spends a lot of time in the campus library. They meet in the library when one of Setter’s pranks leads him there but as soon as he sees Casey his prank is forgotten and all he can think about is her. Casey helps the jock who stumbles into her sanctuary and then can’t seem to get rid of him after that. I felt immersed in the College life along with the characters and I liked seeing how their relationship would develop. This is a fun, lighthearted romance although Casey does have a sad past which makes her very realistic. I look forward to reading the other books in the ‘Frat House Confessions’ series.

4 out of 5 Stars

Can I confess that I am hooked? Danielle Jacks has added a brilliant chapter in this series. What is it about Brandon Setter? Is it the Frat Boy appeal? Is it the jock status? Is it the carefree attitude? I think it is all three.

Casey Nelson has locked away all that used to be. Casey used to live and enjoy life just like everyone else. Then tragedy struck, taking a piece of Casey and her world with it. Casey has become a self-professed nerd. She works, she studies, she goes to class, she studies, wash, rinse, repeat. One night Brandon Setter crosses her path in an unexpected way. She knows who and what he is. This fluke has him showing up in Casey’s structured life. Can she find a way to let him in without losing who she has become? Does she want to stay who she has become?

Brandon Setter knows what college is for him, a chance to be free. Brandon’s life is set for him. His father has decided he will join the family business and have the trappings of life that go with that. Brandon has four years of boyish exploits to enjoy before having to settle down to lead the life expected. His latest prank has him taking refuge in the library. When he needs the help of a mysterious beauty that seems to know him to save him, Brandon takes notice and decides to find out more. Brandon discovers that she is intertwined in all sorts of aspects of his life. Will his desire to make this wallflower bloom change his prankster ways?

I hope Brandon and Casey make regular appearances in the remaining books of the series. Can’t wait to keep reading to find out!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great ending to this trilogy! It was an edge-of-the-seat read to try and figure out the conclusion to who leaked important information for the Navy SEALS and to find out Tyler’s story in all of this!
Malina Johansson is an analyst for the Navy Seals and just so happens to work on the team of her high school crush, Tyler.
When a night in Vegas changes their relationship Malina must open herself up to the opportunity of a relationship with Tyler and put her past behind her, that is until it becomes part of her present. When Malina is accused of treason and flees, she runs to the only man who can keep her safe, Tyler and his family’s island.
Together, along with Tyler’s brothers, they figure out who caused the trouble with the Navy SEALs missions and figure out how they can have a lasting relationship together.
I really enjoyed the series and how each book was about one of the brothers and included information not only about their relationship with the woman of their dreams but also about secrets from the past and intertwined the Navy missions as well! I had a difficult time putting these books down and I highly recommend them to anyone who loves suspense novels with a mix of romance! You won’t be disappointed in this series!
Amy McKinley is a new author to me, and I can’t wait to read her next series and get lost once again in her characters and storylines!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book did not disappoint one bit! If you like thrillers and edge-of-your-seat reads, then this is the book for you! This was my first by Jessica but it won’t be my last!
Molly is just an easy-going college student. After finishing her second year of university all she wants to do is enjoy her summer, except that she can’t leave her mom alone because she wanders off and gets lost due to her dementia.
One of the times her mom goes missing Molly enlists the help of her older brother and while out searching she sees a missing poster for a woman from 20 years ago. As you read the book you discover the similarities between this missing woman and Molly and follow along with how Molly uncovers secrets from the past and how she discovers those around her may not be who she believes they are.
Jessica did a fantastic job of making the reader feel like they were right there with Molly. It is not too often I read a book in 2 sittings, but this was one of those books! I couldn’t put it down! I got sucked in from the beginning and was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out the mystery of whom this missing woman was and the connection she had to Molly!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading thrillers! This is one of my favourite genres and I have to say it is one of the best thrillers I’ve read and I have read a lot! The book flows well and includes all the details you need and a great twist (that I did not see coming!) at the end!
If I could have given this book 6 stars I gladly would have!

This was a very enjoyable read. It is a sci-fi read however it is full of comedy which really made it a light hearted read.

In this story a spaceship of men and women arrive on a planet that is uninhabited. While living on the spaceship there was an order that everyone has to stay celibate due to the lack of space on the ship.

Once they arrived a leader was found and life started to take shape. The men were given jobs and women were sent to the nurturing shed  to make and care for the babies.

This way of life was ok for a time however not everyone was happy with this way of life and when new people started to arrive and people become segregated and only had access to certain things depending on their ranking this started to create friction between everyone.

They need a strong leader to unite them all but that doesn’t seem to be available.
This books is full of laughs and strong women which really bring the story to life it an age old war between men and women and women fighting for rights

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book kept me on my toes, just when I thought that there couldn’t be more to happen, it would take a turn to something else. The little gleams into the character’s past too was amazing into who and why they were, I really enjoyed that part. Hunter a former US marshal, who does everything in his power to save these teenagers that are trying to be taken by a crazy mad man, that doesn’t care about anything but his own personal gains. The sick twisted way that this mad man was written was so amazing it made me want to hate him, whenever he was in the book. I enjoyed the roles of the women in this book as while, R. Weir wrote these women as kicking butt and then taken names, I loved how they would fight and stand for who and what they wanted. The twists and turns in this book really had me guessing and wondering what could happen now and it was hard to put down.
If a book 2 will be written I will for sure be grabbing it, and if it becomes a movie…….

Girl, you will sweat. This book is not for the lighthearted as there are 18+ scenes that will make your heart go thud and I am not talking just about the romance. Our strong female lead Saffie, has a past that could break even the strongest of men. However, as this is the third book in the Satan’s Devils series, these are no ordinary men. Niran is determined to repair Saffie and help her feel safe. But what is going to happen when she finds out that he represents the very thing that she is running from? Manda Mellett has quickly become one of my favorite authors. The MC series of books was never truly one of my favorites, however, Mellett’s style of writing, complex characters, and amazing storylines have made me a fan of hers. I highly recommend this book for lovers of Romance, Romantic Suspense, and Contemporary Romance. A Solid 5 out of 5 stars

You can feel the bewilderment and confusion from the main character, Molly, as her life, as she knew it, unraveled. Molly endures a roller coaster of emotion throughout the tale of betrayal and love. It goes to show that life behind closed doors is not always as it seems. I enjoyed it so much, I’ve already downloaded another couple of books by this author! I HIGHLY recommend this one!

This is a romance story where the characters pop off the pages. I enjoyed watching their growth and seeing their chemistry throughout the story. This is Setter and Casey’s story. Casey finds herself in the library one night when a prank puts Setter in the same place. Now he can’t seem to stop thinking about her and she can’t seem to shake him. Will these two learn they have so much to learn from each other? What will fate have in store for these two? They are such connectable characters and just made the story for me.

I loved this book! Casey and Setter were brilliant characters. I loved Setter for his fun, carefree attitude and Casey for her more reserved, focussed way of thinking. Together they made a great team and I could tell from the beginning of the story there was going to be something between them – opposites definitely attracted in this story! I really felt for Casey at the beginning of the story – I could really feel her sadness coming across with everything that had happened to her in her past. I really wanted Setter to be the one to make her see that she definitely has a life worth living!
This was definitely a feel-good romance story; I haven’t read the other books in this series but I absolutely will be now! A brilliant read and one I highly recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book, it had me hooked from the beginning. It was full of suspense, you really didn’t know what might be coming next.
I haven’t read other books in the series but I highly recommend that you do. This book can technically work as standalone, but I did miss out on a lot of background information and it was assumed that previous books had been read first. I am definitely going back and reading them now!
Tom Grant is an amazing character, he has his flaws, and many layers, he’s grumpy, impatient but his sarcastic responses were brilliant. I absolutely loved the conversations he had with Iz and Martha.
Iz needs to visit the Motherland to reunited her fathers Ashes with her mother. However, she defected from Russia and is wanted by many people. Tom goes with her, but it definitely doesn’t quite go to plan. What starts as a quick in and out visit, turns into a very deadly game, of death, kidnapping, lies, betrayal, heartbreak and new beginnings.
I would highly recommend this book, I really enjoyed reading it.

The mix of time travel, witches and romance was very well executed. The characters were relatable and the world building good. The ending felt a bit rushed but came to a natural conclusion. No cliffhanger but the world has been developed to continue with side characters into book 2.
