The Don (Her Three Immortals Book 1) by Hazel Storm – Review by Alexandria Richard

The DonThe Don by Hazel Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Despite the title making this book seem like a mafia book, it’s not. Grey is the “Don of the Underworld,” come to earth to barter vices so he can collect 100 souls. Once on earth Grey meets Vanessa, a hairdresser who seems otherworldly, and is desperately trying to find a way to save her 12 year-old brother who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

This is a why-choose romance, where we’re introduced to Grey, Raef, and briefly, Aroz, all sons of an all powerful god, Zeus, though he’s not specifically named.

I’m typically a fan of the Greek Mythos, as well as why-choose or Reverse Harem romances, therefore I’m really enjoying this series. I enjoyed getting to know the men and see how they reacted to Vanessa. There’s of course Grey, and his abstinent ways. He comes across as an ass at times but he has his reasons. Raef is like the perfect billionaire you didn’t know existed, and only does in romance novels. He’s sweet, caring, and oh no hot for Vanessa. Then there’s Aroz, who just wants to see Vanessa so he can know who is making his mother crazy, but of course he messes things up by shooting one of his arrows. We’ll just have to see what transpires next with him.

While there are some spicier scenes I enjoyed the fact that it wasn’t overdone and was more of a tease to whet the appetite. I can’t wait to see where this series goes and how it all plays out in the end.

Book 1 does end on a semi-cliffhanger, but there is a sneak-peek of book 2, so not a complete cliffy.

Master Tuscano (Masters of the Consulate Book 2) by Sylvia Black – Review by Alexandria Richard

Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 2)Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A dark vampire mafia romance. What’s not to love about that sentence?

Master Tuscano should really be read after book 1, Master Descalia, for the greatest understanding as Tuscano has continuation of the “us v them” storyline from book 1. Semi-spoiler: That storyline will continue in book 3 too.

Here we get to explore the romance and mating of Christian Tuscano and Delilah, who we were introduced to in book 1. Christian and Delilah yearn for one another despite the consulate not approving of their relationship.

I enjoyed Christian and Delilah as a couple and them coming together despite outward forces trying to keep them apart. I like how the author switches the first person POV between Christian and Delilah because it gives us more insight as to what they’re each thinking and why they’re doing things. Delilah is a spitfire who isn’t going to just sit down and let the men deal with the issues they’re facing, yet she can also be submissive to Christian, sometimes.

It was interesting to see where Luciana and Salvatore were in their relationship now and how that continued to grow. Also, we’re reading about it from two other character’s perspectives, so it’s a fun turn-about. I still love Embry and the levity she brings to even the most serious of situations. Also, who doesn’t love a female who’s confident enough in herself to basically waitress and walk around a club topless and flaunting her nipple piercings? I hope to read more about Embry specifically.

While I overall enjoyed the story and the characters, I can only give this book a 3.5 rating as there were inconsistencies that kept pulling me out of reading to try and understand. Also, while this is a fantasy novel (hello paranormal beings) some pf the things that happen are outside the realm of possibilities, like transporting yourself half way around the world in a few seconds soon after becoming a vampire.

Trigger warnings: non sexual dub-con (dubious consent), rehashing of sexual assault and trafficking, anal sex, fictional death and gruesome beatings.

Dire’s Club by Kimberly Packard – Review by Tausha Treadway

Dire's ClubDire’s Club by Kimberly Packard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dire’s Club by Kimberly Packard. This was one of the most unusual stories I’ve read. Its so moving and emotional but brings a whole new light on death. Its the whole premise of having one last adventure before you die. This book takes you on a ride with a group of people going on the last adventure they will ever have. This tale will make you think about how you would want to spend your last days and who you want to spend it with. Its a story of adventure, death, friendship and making memories. On a subject that could be very morbid and sad its not at all. It will make you cry in some place and make you emotional in others but it brings a new focus to death and one that’s not all doom and gloom. This book really made me think about my life and death and made me reflect on some choices I have made and some I will make in the future! The motto I took away was to live life to the fullest and make memories!

Once again, I found myself reading a book by a new author and was not disappointed. Although I cried. A lot! And not because it is a sad book although it does tackle a lot of sad issues. But more so because I also started thinking about the life I would want to live if knowing I was faced with only a short amount of time to live. As in, my own bucket list and what I could accomplish without ever looking back on life and regretting it. It made me think about how I could live my life and be happy knowing I had a terminal illness. And what I found was that just as these characters learned to do, I learned to celebrate my own life journey and be happy with who and what I was and have. I highly recommend that everyone read this book because it will make you think and wish that there was such an adventure around us.

This is an absolute must read! Dire’s Club by Kimberly Packard is one of my new favorites! It’s at the top of my list for this year!

I was so captivated by this storyline as it had me questioning everything, not in a dramatic mysterious way but more in a re-evaluating my life way. The concept behind Dire’s Club really intrigued me, how come we wait until the last possible moment to do the things in life we desperately want to do? This storyline puts everything into perspective and I’m so grateful that I read this book!

If you are looking for a one of a kind read look no further this is the book for you! This is a book that should be read by all!!

It’s been a while since I read a book by Tammy Mannersly. After the first chapter, I remembered why her books are so good. Brody and Willa had a rough start with a misunderstanding, then it turned into an opposite attraction but wait let’s also throw in an ex into the mix. This was a perfect fast-paced romance to get me out of my book slump. Looking forward to catching up on books by this author.

Charlie and Trent aka Tank, have known each other almost their whole lives. Tank is Charlies brothers best friend and she has always been attracted to him.

Brothers best friend books are my weakness as I love to see how the brother takes it.

I was so wrapped up in this story and I hope I get to read more, maybe Jude’s book? Or a wedding novella of these 2? Amazing read.

The God (Her Three Immortals #2) by Hazel Storm

This is another great read by Storm. The author had me hooked from the beginning. I had a hard time putting it down. This is the second book in the Her Three Immortals Series.

Vanessa is dead and now living in the Underworld. She has made a couple of friends. She has also brought color back to it. Grey has kept it grey for way too long. The quote I chose for Vanessa is: “I’m here because I’m dead and got lucky not to be voted to go to the middle ground, or worse, the hot-pit haven. I am not that important, Gorgonita. Go ask Charles A**hole Radcliffe in there, and he’ll tell you just how insignificant I am.”

Grey doesn’t usually make deals, but Vanessa wormed her way in. Not only to his world, but in his heart. He isn’t sure what to make of her. The quote I chose for Grey is: “Where do you suggest she hid my brother’s soul? I searched every square inch of the Underworld for him myself.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romance lovers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you knew your days were numbered – what would you do? I’d like to think everyone would want that one last wish. Packard’s characters have all been diagnosed with terminal illnesses but there is a bright light – Dire’s Club. Jimmy Dire, who runs the club, has built a business around the dying – offering a get away from life’s final moments and allowing an people to experience one last hoorah with people who are in the position. As I’ve heard many times in my own life – “Live like your life depends on it”.
The characters are very complex individuals and no details are left to the reader to determine. Understanding that they are all dying and that there is no future is the biggest heartbreak of this book. The ending does provide some hope to all and the belief that life goes on, even without our loved ones.

This is a must read that is emotional and very touching. Be prepared to cry some tears – Packard has delivered a five star book!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

After the kidnapping and trafficking Delilah was saved from, she’s had to process the trauma and emotions that came with those experiences. At the same time, the conversation about what her and Christian are has been looming in the background for months. Wanting to be his mate as a human has come with more strings than what she thought was possible. Now, it’s her turn to take revenge on those that hurt her. Vampire or not, Delilah with use the resources she has to gain control back in her life.

I liked this sequel but I didn’t really enjoy it as much as I did the first. The author repeated a lot of the tropes she used in the first book so a lot of surprise I felt in the first book were not there when I encountered similar situations in this second book. Over all I think Delilah was a decent character but I feel like she was too impulsive which wound her up in more dangerous situations than if she worked through things with Christian or even talking with Lucianna and Embry. I was a little invested in the relationship but I really appreciated some of the choices Delilah made in the final few chapters. I’d be interested in seeing what happens in book three but not sure how quickly I would get to it.

Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 2)Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Master Christian Tuscano is the head of the Tuscano house and he has a score to settle, someone kidnapped the woman he wants to be his mate, Delilah and he wants answers as to the who and why, so he goes to the only source they currently have and treats them the same way they treated the woman he loves and it was shamefully and a way that nobody should ever be treated. As he gets the answers he wants, he thinks about Delilah and how her experience has changed her, how the light has gone from her eyes and she is just a muted version of her once bubbly self, however, when he returns home to find that she has gone and only left him a letter, he is enraged and worried that something else will happen to her.

Meanwhile, Delilah is making her way to find the person responsible for her kidnapping and degradation, however she wants to keep herself and her whereabouts from Christian so that she can do something by herself for once, but this plan backfires when despite her best efforts. He is going out of his mind with worry, so Christian has called in some help and found where Delilah is and just in the nick of time when someone else bursts in on the same scene to take the person she is meeting out and she has been caught in the crossfire, so just before her life ebbs away, permission is granted to turn her and allow her to become a vampire and not just be with one.

While the attack left Delilah in a precarious situation, the person they are all after manages to escape, so the hunt is on again, however, keeping Delilah safe and secure is harder than ever when she transitions and her new powers come to the fore and some shifters come after her and while a precarious deal is struck with the syndicate to take the bounty off of their heads in return for them being given the troublemaker once the Consulate have gleaned all the information they can out of them. The shifters are not the only ones after her though and new information comes to light which casts a shadow on everything Delilah knows and trusts involving a coven of witches, but will she be able to do what she needs to do and also be accepted by the rest of the Consulate, or will she have to leave everything she wants behind to protect the one she loves? Will Christian be able to help Delilah to overcome her trauma and teach her to accept her new life, or will one of the groups after them get to their target before they do? This is a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs with a romantic twist throughout, where secrets and lies abound to weave a twisted tapestry of truths which will hook you in from start to finish.

So well-written that I just couldn’t put it down. I had to read it every chance I had. The characters were each well-developed. You have to read this. 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend.

Written in the Stars is a wonderfully written story about adoption and finding who your birth parents are. This is a story that will literally take you on a emotional rollercoaster ride like no other. I cried and at times flat out ugly cried, my heart absolutely broke and at times it warmed my heart I can relate to this from a family member of someone who adopted and it was hoop after hoop and it took a toll but totally worth it in the end. My brother and sister in law adopted three beautiful children that were all siblings. Grab a box of kleenex and be prepared to experience every emotion possible with this must read book. I found myself lost in the pages and stayed up way to late because I had to know what was going to happen next. I can’t wait for the next book to come out. If you haven’t already started this series go grab the first book as its just as good as this one.

Following the couple was so much fun, and from the second Carmody’s name is mentioned we know we hate her! Introducing Hayden makes us want to punch him too! While this was quick and to the point, Mannersly makes sure we feel all the emotions.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was very mature in both writing style and plot. As a recently acclaimed adult (20 as of a few weeks ago) I found this book to be hard to connect to until a little farther in. The writing style is exactly what I look for! But talking about divorce and having adult children and fund-raising projects, made it a little less connectable for me, but after the plot got going, I did not care! I was up until 2 a.m. so I could finish!

Liz was having such a hard time between her friends and her ex-husband that visiting the little summer town of Red River was exactly what she needed. But it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for a while. But Matt, his daughter Sarah, and Liz’s daughter Lauran make it as enjoyable as they can for her. It warmed my heart everytime they would crack a joke or mention Charley. Marsha R. West certainly has a way with words that allows even people with few life experiences begin to connect with her characters!

Dating The Intern is a great contemporary romance by Natalina Reis. I have read a few of her books before and have really enjoyed what I have read and was looking forward to reading more of her work. I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to others.
Ivory Tower owns a very successful online dating business but when a TV show wants to feature her, they want to see how her love life is going. The problem is that Ivory is single. That’s when her gorgeous intern Li Qiang steps in and offers to play the part of her adoring boyfriend.
Li Qiang is 10 years younger than her and is drop dead gorgeous. How can she help but not fall for him. Ivory is gorgeous and successful so how can Li Qiang help not falling for her?
I loved reading Ivory and Li Qiang’s story. I’m a sucker for a fake romance and an office romance and this book encapsulates both tropes very well.
I loved both characters. They are very well written and very relatable and their interactions make for very entertaining reading.
If you like and office romance or a fake boyfriend romance then Dating The Intern is the book for you.

3 Stars

 

Raven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber is a very short dystopian paranormal story with a bit of a dark tone, drama, the supernatural, shifters, a survivalist community of fringe dwellers, danger, action, and more.
I did like the premise, as well as the few clever touches that Ms. Koerber wove into her storyline- but I would have loved to have read a longer and more in-depth version of this story. There were so many details that I wanted to know more about, and have more backstory/background information, as my curiosity was piqued. Also, there were times I felt like I was ‘missing’ something, which disrupted the flow of the story for me and gave it a bit of a wandering and somewhat fragmented feel.
As expected from Ms. Koerber, this was a very interesting story with thought provoking elements. I like her originality- and there was definitely more to the story and character/s than first meets the eye.
The story had me drawing the conclusion that aspects of this story could very well happen in our future.

Thank you, Laura Koerber!

Slow Burn is the second book in the Breathing Hearts series by A.K MacBride. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. MacBride, so I was interested to see what she had to offer. I like a good slow burn romance and the premise sounded quite promising, so I soon found myself with a copy of my own, ready to explore between the covers.
What I found was a wonderful story full of emotion, self-doubt, pain, starting over, self-discovery, chemistry, sizzle, romance, and hope.
Adam hides his pain behind a gruff and grumpy exterior. His past is a painful burden that weighs heavily on his soul. Maddie’s dreams of a career in dancing- but has gotten a little stuck in her small-town life. Adam pushes people away using rudeness as a way of ensuring no one gets too close. But he wasn’t prepared for the spark of life that Maddie brings into his stagnant and moody world. Will Maddie be able to break down his defences enough to take a chance on love? Or will insecurity, pain, and self-doubt destroy any possibility of happiness?
Like I said earlier, this is a slow burn romance- and at times this story felt extra slow. There were moments of frustration where I wanted to shake these two and tell them to get their act together. But thankfully this didn’t detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the story.

Thank you, A.K MacBride!

Drew is the popular captain of the college basketball team, who unfortunately doesn’t make the best impression on Abby in Lab class. To make things more awkward, they are paired together as lab partners. With the basketball season in full swing, Drew can’t afford to be distracted, no matter how intriguing he might find the distraction to be. Will chemistry get the better of them both?

This is the second installment in the Journeys series by James Talisman. In book one, we are thrown into a multi-verse, where characters come from different places and backgrounds. In this book, the battle to save Earth continues, but this battle is a little different. Instead of only traversing across the multi-verse, the characters are now traveling through time as well. I highly suggest reading book 1 (Journeys through SpaceTime) before heading out on this adventure, as it will make much more sense. I was very happy to see some of my favorite characters from book 1 return (but I won’t spoil who!), and learn more about who they are, and why. I was so invested in this series, wondering and hoping along with the characters, that good will overcome evil (in a sense). I am not typically a sci-fi reader but this series had me on the edge of my seat and I flew through the pages without effort. I truly hope to see a 3rd book in this set, and 110% recommend this series to everyone! 10 out of 10 stars, easily.

Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate #2) by Sylvia Black

This is the second book I’ve read by Black. This is also the second book in the Master of the Consulate Series. It does need to be read in order, although it’s about a different master.

Christian is one of the Masters and he is getting his revenge for his mate. When she needs to be turned because she is injured he does it. They go through more than enough challenges. The quote I chose for Christian is: “Very well, but the next time you feel that need is so great, you are going to harness it, and I am going to teach you how to do exactly that.”

Delilah wasn’t exactly ready to become a vampire. Or so she thought. Once it happens she finds that people who took her in may be the reason she got kidnapped. The quote I chose for Delilah is: “Traitor shifters! The vampires have never done anything but respect your place in the universe, and for this, you repay us this way?”

Highly recommended for Dark Vampire lovers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Journeys Through TimeSpace is the second book in the series by James Talisman and starts where Book 1, Journeys Through SpaceTime, leaves off. Our three young heroes return in Book 2, and it is up to this trio to save Earth from a powerful enemy. They have travelled to a secret and hidden place deep in the Himalayas to train and prepare for their quest. A quest that has them travelling between the past and the future to find treasures that are required to save Earth.

I loved reading this book and highly recommend it because it is truly intriguing and really had me thinking about the concepts of time travel, parallel universes, and the fascinating concept of a MultiVerse. I especially loved reading about the MultiVerse and was anxious to see how the story would unfold between the various characters and each of their planets. As I delved deeper into the book, I was introduced to the concept of the seven important principles which embody all of creation. This quickly had me thinking and wanting to explore these seven important principles farther.

Journeys Through TimeSpace is very well written and there is a great amount of detail in the story throughout its entirety. Each world is described vividly, really drawing you into the scene and the lives of the characters. My three favorite characters were our brave young heroes who have an amazing and unique friendship. Regardless of the numerous obstacles they are faced with in both the past and the present the bond between the trio remains strong and unwavering. Not only do I highly recommend this book but I think that both books would make great movies!
