Dangerous Curves Boxed Set #1 (Dangerous Curves Books 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery

5 ++++ Stars

These books will be sitting on my bookshelf, and I already can’t wait to start this series all over again!

Sunshine Baker has quickly become one of my favorite characters ever. She is everything I love. First she’s a librarian which I think would be an amazing way to spend my days, she works with her best friends which would just be an awesome added bonus, she has the quirkiest yet most loving parents, she lives in a small town which is always my preference, and she has turned into a bonafide adrenaline junkie who has decided to start solving cases in her small town. She seems to have a new admirer/fan that she needs to stay aware of, and she loves cats! I want to be this woman’s friend, her life is awesome!

I simply love this author, she always seems to reach through and touch me with her stories and her words. So far I would say you could read these as standalones but there is alot brought up that happened in the book/s before, and although you don’t absolutely need this information to appreciate the story, you would just get more satisfaction if you read them in order.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series, can’t wait to start book 4!

Turning Wheels (Satan’s Devils MC #1) AUDIO BOOK by Manda Mellett – Review by KAYLA OCTAVIANO

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best book I’ve ever listened too. On top of the narrators bringing the characters to life so perfectly, the story is amazing. Sophie, a woman living in the UK loves sex and her best friend. When her best friend gets into trouble, and therefore gets Sophie into trouble, she finds herself under the protection of an outlaw motorcycle gang, the Satan’s Devils. Attempting to protect Sophie is more of a challenge than they thought, but she makes some lifelong friends there. The culture and family this book brings into view in the motorcycle gang is eye opening. If you like being kept on the edge of your seat, action, planning, and culture, this is the perfect book for you. Listen to it. I was hoping it would never end. I can’t wait to listen to the next one and look into the books this series has spun off of.

Stripped (The Stripped Series Book 1)Stripped by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Though the story did take a little bit to get into – as I hadn’t read the other books leading up to it – once I got going it was an intense and entralling book! It really sucks you in with the various characters and how they overlap and interact.
I am very interested in how this story progresses through the series. Despite being a bit difficult to get started, the book was engaging and the characters humorous while still being relatable. Time and time I kept finding myself thinking of how I would be reacting in that situation, which I find is the sign of a well written story!

DATING THE INTERN by Natalina Reis – Review by Tamisha Janay

Dating the InternDating the Intern by Natalina Reis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story was everything that I didn’t know I wanted. I love watching rom-coms and reading YA or supernatural types of novels, but this book was perfect. It was a light read that made me cringe, laugh, and smile with my whole heart.

Ivory Tower is a successful businesswoman who is running her own dating service. She has a not-so-great history with her father and looks down on herself because of this. She is obviously a beautiful soul inside and out, but I think that we can all relate to having someone or something in our lives that makes us feel less than we are. So, what is the big problem? She isn’t dating anyone herself. Network execs want to do an interview with her and her “beau” and she agrees without thinking it through! Thankfully Li-Qiang (our hunk of this story) is an amazing intern and offers to fake a relationship with her – for the sake of the business and her reputation, of course.. This story has everything a wonderful light romance comedy needs: flirty looks, learning to stand up for yourself, a surprise reveal, a nosy family, and a whole bunch of laughter. Ms. Reis did a fantastic job with this story and I look forward to reading more from her! Pick it up. Enjoy the read. You won’t regret it!

Tainted by Marsha R. West is a romance suspense story. Liz Hartman is attempting to find her way in the world after a divorce. In Fort Worth where she lives, many of her socialite friends have shunned her because of her husband being caught by the FBI for money laundering. To find some solitude and a quieter life, Liz and her daughter Lauran head up to New Mexico where the family spent many summers at Liz’s mother’s cabin. But it seems Liz cannot escape trouble which isn’t exactly helping Liz find solitude. The good thing is there are many folks in New Mexico who believe in Liz and help her reclaim her life. It doesn’t hurt that the town Marshall is her high school boyfriend Matt Thornton.
Overall I loved this story and can’t wait to read more books by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Effacement is a sci-fi tech-thriller set in a future (2037) world where EVERYTHING is documented through a government-mandated chip. When a scientist who helped creat the chip becomes suspicious of some deaths related to the tech, he soon awakes to find his own chip and recent memories missing. Who is behind this set up?

I will admit that this isn’t my typical genre, but as a thriller it is a page-turner! If you like dystopian or futuristic books, you will love this one. It really hits home as technology advances and we look to control more and more virtually…

So Close (Love Grows #4)So Close by Renee Regent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So Close was a good 4 star read.
Dahlia worked hard to get a promotion at her job. After getting promoted she is put in charge of the new building project. When she finds out who she will be working with she is not thrilled at all. She hasn’t seen him in years.

Levi was surprised to see that he would be working with Dahlia. He’s hoping that maybe he can finally get a chance to talk to her and explain his actions. She does a pretty good job at trying to keep things professional but he won’t have that. Her walls start to come down and her old feelings are definitely there.

Will she finally listen to what Levi has to say? Can they have a future together?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I couldn’t wait to find out the truth right along with Dahlia. The connection between these two was great. I enjoyed watching them reconnect. If you’re looking for a good read, 1-click and get started today on this book. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boy Released was a really interesting read! This is the sequel to the novel Boy On Hold and this can be read as a standalone but it does make more sense and you get the whole back story if you read Boy On Hold first. This was very interesting as Tyler has schizophrenia and it was very interesting just reading inside his mind, and how it works and is wired differently. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one better than the first. I’m not sure why but this one just held my attention better and I flew through it. It was so quick to read and was enthralling all the way through. I really enjoyed this one and highly recommend it!

Natalina has written two very relatable characters in Ivory Towers and Li Qiang. This age-gap comedy will have you rooting from the very beginning for the two of them to find happiness with each other. You’ll just have to read to find out if they do! I’m very excited to read other works by this author.

This was a sweet but also suspenseful book. The main character, Liz, is very lovable. The book was a little bit wordy in descriptions for me so it took me a minute to get into it but by the 3rd chapter or so I was hooked. This is one of my most favorite kind of romance books because it has a happily ever after ending. When you think you have everything figured out something else happens and surprises you.

SPOOKED BY A SUSPICION by Risa Nyman – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Spooked by a SuspicionSpooked by a Suspicion by Risa Nyman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was first introduced to the twelve year old Rocky in ‘Swallowed by a Secret’ just after his father had died suddenly and in mysterious circumstances, this story follows Rocky during his transition from middle school to high school. However, Rocky is more concerned with the shocking news that his mother is going to marry the devious Ted who apparently has a “devil’s beard, ominous eyebrows in constant motion, and black, beady eyes” according to Rocky. When Rocky has a few strange accidents he is convinced that Ted is somehow behind them, maybe using his evil powers. Rocky makes plans with his girlfriend Olive to have a showdown with Ted after he starts working at Rocky’s summer program. Before this can happen Rocky is accused of stealing and thinks that Ted is framing him, but thinking that no one will believe him he runs off into the woods. Here he meets an old hermit who tells Rocky about his tragic life and urges Rocky to return and prove his innocence. Rocky is determined to clear his name and then plan a case against Ted in the hopes of stopping the wedding.

This is an enjoyable and engaging YA novel with a very likeable and relatable, especially if your a teenager yourself, main character Rocky. I also love Rocky and Olive’s relationship. The storyline flows well and the mystery element of the plot kept me happily turning the pages. The novel deals with teenagers issues, in particular having a stepparent introduced into their lives and I found looking at this from Rocky’s point of view very intriguing. I was fully immersed in the story and thought it was an insightful read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Potager Plot: A witty cozy mystery with a hint of romance by Vikki Walton is the fifth book in the A Backyard Farming Mystery series. I thought this was a really entertaining and fun book that kept my interest right to the end. This is the first book that I have read by this author and can absolutely say you do not need to have read the previous books to enjoy this one. I thought this was a fantastic way to be introduced to a new author. The writing style was one that help to add to the mystery but also kept the book feeling quite light hearted. I didn’t feel like I was bogged down in any details but was just able to enjoy the book as it was.
This was a great story and I will definitely be going back to add on the other books to the series.

Dating the InternDating the Intern by Natalina Reis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dating The Intern by Natalina Reis is a brilliant book that will really keep you absolutely enthralled. This is quite a short story but is one that is full of romance and sweetness. This author really does know how to create a brilliant story that pulls readers in and makes you fall in love with the characters.
I don’t normally like books where the male character is younger than the female. I find it normally feels forced and unbelievable and I find myself growing bored of the story. However with this book I was completely sucked into it. I engaged with the characters and I really grew to love them both. The only thing about this book that I found myself cringing at a little was the name “Ivory Tower!”. I thought it was a little cheesy and a bit off putting. However it doesn’t detract at all from the story or from how much I liked Ivory.
This author has really become one of those that I don’t hesitate to pick up her books. Most of the time now I don’t even read the description, I just go in blind and see where it takes me. I have never yet been disappointed. Her books are always well written with fantastic storylines, this been no exception at all! I would highly recommend this book.

Journeys Through TimeSpace (Journeys Through Book 2) by James Talisman – Review by Chrissy Spulak

Journeys Through TimeSpaceJourneys Through TimeSpace by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Journeys through TimeSpace (Journeys Through Book 2) by James Talisman is not just a great book for SciFi fans, it is a great book for any reader. I usually don’t gravitate towards this genre of writing, but, like the first book in the series, book two pulled me right in. In keeping with the first installment, book 2 is rich with character and description. The MultiVerse story follows closely the storyline of three friends (Matt, Julia, and Dan) as they work to keep Earth safe; however, running parallel, is the story of a reptilian leader on his own mission. I highly recommend reading book 1 first, as book 2 is a continuation. I found it quite helpful to already have a knowledge about the setting and characters and what drives them. I very much enjoyed falling into this author’s vibrant imagination and knack for engaging storytelling.

I have read books by this author previously and I’ve really enjoyed her writing. Ivory was so great to read about and Li Qiang was such a lovely person. I really enjoyed reading about them together. The secondary character sin the story were really good too and definitely added that extra layer to the characters’ lives.

Caine (Men of Syn, #2)Caine by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd  book in the Men of Syn series. I really love these  books. I love the dark gripping side along with the romance which catches you by surprise. The characters are really well written and your opinion of them changes as the book progresses.

Caine is running away from his life in D.C. After his father is found murdered and he becomes prime suspect. He runs to his mate Hawke who gives him somewhere to work and lay low while he tries to solve the murder of his father.
While he’s there he meets Emery. Emery is a princess who lives off her daddy. She thinks she’s above people and her attitude stinks. Emery thinks she has her life sorted until her dad is arrested for drug trafficking charges and all his assets frozen. Now Emery is homeless and broke and the person she turns to is Caine.
What starts out as a way to distract herself and give her a bed for the night becomes so much more as the couple get to know one another and their relationship grows.

However things aren’t that straight forward and when Caine realises the connection between his fathers murder and Emery’s father’s incarceration they need to work together to solve the cases.

This story is gripping and a real page turner. You want the couple to be together and happy however sometimes the skeletons that are coming out could be to much for the couple to bear.
