Cursed Touch By AJ Renee – Review By Michelle Marlow

Cursed Touch (Broderick Coven, #4)Cursed Touch by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in this series. We follow Carter who is known as the healing brother of the group. And we meet Vanessa, the small town jeweler.

This book is incredibly fast paced. I was able to finish it in one night, and to be fair I didn’t want to put it down anyways.

I cannot wait for the next in this series as there is one more brother, who is very mysterious.

Cursed Whispers (Broderick Coven, #3)Cursed Whispers by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am in LOVE with this series. I loved the book before this but so far this one is my favorite.

Be warned there is a trigger warning for abuse and sexual abuse.

We follow Max Broderick, one of our beloved Broderick brothers. And very quickly his powers of talking with animals is a wonderful benefit to him. As he meets Claudia.

This book was also so hard for me to put down. It was filled with adventure, true emotions and the overwhelming feeling of love.

I truly can’t wait to read the next in the series.

Cursed Sight (Broderick Coven, #2)Cursed Sight by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book two in the Broderick Coven series. We follow our two main characters Ethan and Serena. Ethan is new to his powers and learning how to use them as the oracle.

He is teamed up with our lovely high priestess Serena.

It was a refreshing read to me as many books only portray women as witches and never men. With a new spin on magical reads it was one I didn’t want to put down. Even without reading the first in the series I was able to tell who was who and felt for every character. I cannot wait to read the next in this series!
I loved this so much! Review by @michellerenee6590

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Okay. Finished this book early this morning. Like the second I woke up I HAD to finish. I really enjoyed the characters from her last book and i LOVED Zoe and Archer even more. Once more the storyline was captivating- there was only a few times I had to take a break from the book. (Definitely made me emotional- that’s as much a spoiler as I’m giving!) This book was even sexier and darker than the last one. Anyone not reading this series is missing out. On to the next! 💖

Avenging Devil Part 2 by Manda Mellett
Five Stars

Avenging Devil is the second part of the Avenging Devil story and the fourth book in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego Series by Manda Mellett. It is a true wonder how Ms Mellett comes up with all of the chapters of the Satan’s Devils MC. The second part of this story had to be told, but please read at least the Avenging Devil Story in order to get the full effect. Ms. Mellett is a one click author for me. She writes intense books with lots of detail, sometimes dark , and what I believe is an accurate account of the inner workings of a MC. This is the continuation of Saffie and Niran’s story, and it is amazing. I highly recommend this book, series, and author.

So this is my first book/series I’ve read by India Kells and boy… you will experience emotions. I did anyway. The writing is so vivid and easily transported me to her world. Aleksei and Deva both tore at my heart throughout the book. I LOVED their characters and interactions. Lazarus King is a favorite too. Who doesn’t like a silver fox?

Gets better and better!
I am totally smitten with this series. Tasha and Levi are now on my list of favourite book couples. The story just keeps getting better and just when you think there just couldn’t be more, another twist and off we go! The author has taken the cross-species paranormal theme but evolved it into something brilliantly different. I can’t recommend this series enough if you are after a refreshing paranormal fantasy.

Such an excellent piece of writing. I was drawn in from the first word and held captive right til the end. Tasha and Levi hold a special place in my heart.

Manifested Dreams by Yvonne Johnson – Review by Amanda Meady

Manifested DreamsManifested Dreams by Yvonne Johnson

This book is an account of what any African American family may have, and likely did, face through the years. Through the use of family letters, the reader has a brief understanding of how things have changed and improved from generations ago. The book was impactful but also a quick read because I didn’t want to put it down. I felt like I had a brief glimpse into a family’s personal history during troubling times. Ultimately this book shows the progress we’ve made, which does not negate what still needs to come.

Check OutCheck Out by Debra Parmley

Betsy and Nash’s chance encounter and the possibilities for their relationship kept me coming back every time I put the book down. Debra Parmley found a way to leave me curious about how their relationship may or may not develop throughout the book. While Betsy and Nash were the main characters, Betsy’s sister played a large part in the story and I found myself questioning her character as much as Nash’s. A deeper look into the future for Betsy as well as Nash would have made the book even better, or perhaps they may resurface again in the future.

Unbreakable (The Diamonds Book 1) by Tee Smith – Review by Jenni Bishop

Unbreakable (The Diamonds, #1)Unbreakable by Tee Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unbreakable is the first book in The Diamonds series by Tee Smith. This read is a contemporary romance and a bit of an emotional journey. It is full of sexual tension and drama, danger and horrible ex’s, violence and suspense, secrets and lies. The characters are nicely fleshed out and a little complex and there is a little mystery to keep things interesting. It started a little slow but soon found ground. Good girl meets bad boy, and it doesn’t matter what side of the tracks you are from, right or wrong, when love and the heart is involved. The only problem is that trouble will always follow you.

I can’t wait to see what Tee brings us next.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bake Believe is an adorable story about a young girl going through crushes, school, family, and… something special. This book was definitely one of a kind. It’s a coming of age novel with a relatable young character and all of her friends and family. Read this if you like cute stories about young children figuring out where they are meant to be in life. The narrator is great and fits the story really well from a teens perspective.

I’m a baker and an avid romance reader. Total sucker for a cute romance story. Having lost a parent to cancer and knowing the struggles of carrying on a legacy I get what Elle was when she was just going through the motions of each day. The cute baking references mixed in with the magic of NYC almost gave me a Disney’s Enchanted vibe. If you need a cute and feel-good book to read on a trip or a beach day I highly recommend it. There are some dark spots in the book that I feel I should mention, if loss or taking care of a sick loved one is a trigger id proceed with caution, however, it’s an adorable book.

Dark Bastard by India Kells
Five Stars

Dark Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel is the fifth book in the Bastard series by India Kells. These books keep getting better and better. Each brother’s story is a tale that needs to be told. Sam is in a dark place and when he accidentally calls the wrong number, Ellie gives him something to live for. As always it is great to see glimpses of the other brothers. I’m waiting with bated breath for November and the final book in this series……maybe……well a girl can hope maybe Ms. Kells will find a lost unknown brother out there. If you haven’t read any books in this series, I highly recommend you read them in order. You really don’t have to because each book features a new couple, but you would miss a bunch of the back story if you skipped any books. Besides they are all Five Star books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Dark Sparrow series, but the first I have read by this author. India Kells spins an amazing story that draws you in from the beginning. This is the story of Zoe and Archer. Zoe has an amazing ability with languages and can pick them up without formal study. Archer is a businessman who is selling part of his business and needs assistance with some language barriers to make sure he is getting the best deal for him.
What Archer doesn’t know is that Zoe is put in his path to help save him from a possible disastrous ending. Archer is very cold, and Zoe is a not part of his plan, but can they find love together with the danger that surrounds him?
I love how Zoe is such a strong, independent, smart woman. She doesn’t run from danger. She wants to be an equal not to be saved. I am looking forward to the next installment!!

This is the third installment in the Dark Sparrow series and India Kells did not fail to deliver another incredible story! This is the story of Kai and Isabel. Kai and Isabel met years ago in Hawaii, fell in love, and Isabel just disappeared. Isabel is thrown back into Kai’s life as him and his bastard brothers are determined to take down his father. Isabel is a strong self-made woman but is terrified of Kai finding out all the secrets from her past. Their connection is still as strong as it was years ago in Hawaii, but can they survive the fight against Kai’s father? Can they survive each other finding out about their pasts?
This author does a fantastic job drawing us into the story. Even though Kai and Isabel are the main focus, all the brothers make an appearance, yet the story is very balanced. I am ready for the next book!

He’s learned a lot of tricks for playing pool since his younger days, but here he is back home and all he wants is to prove that he is the best.

The fifth installment of the Dark Sparrow series did not disappoint. I am in love with these bastard brothers. This is Sam and Ellie’s story. Sam was a soldier, trained for danger. Ellie is a 911 operator. They had both made individual decisions to end their lives when Sam makes a call to Ellie by mistake. Hearing the sadness in her voice, he has to find out who she is and how to help her. Finding a way to be close to her also puts her in the most danger she has ever been in.
Sam and Ellie both end up in the clutches of Sam’s disgusting father. Finding that they both come from childhoods that are far from even nice, can that bond them together to fight their way out of the situation they find themselves in?
India Kells has a wonderful way with words that draws you in and keeps you intrigued to the last page. The epilogue for one book, is the prologue for the next, leaving you hungering for you next bastard brother fix. The women are strong, independent, and are not damsels in distress. Not only can they help save themselves; they kick ass doing it. Am absolutely in love with this author. Thank you, India Kells!

I really enjoyed this story. Its got a slight twist on a friends to lovers story because inbetween our couple goes from friends to enemies. The author does an amazing job with her characters that you can’t help falling in love with the pair of them. You can feel all the emotion and affection between them.

Levi and Dehlia were best friends. Always there for each other. Both had romantic feelings for the other but nothing came of it. Their friendship was really special until an event involving Dehlia’s ex husband torn them apart.
Levi never got to explain his side of events and because of that Dehlia cut him off completely.

Now years later they are forced to work together on a project for Dehlia’s work. Dehlia is guarded and trying to protect herself and her heart but she can’t deny the feelings still run strong. Levi has never stopped loving her and is now making it his mission to prove to her how right they are for each other.

After so many heartbreaks can Dehlia let anyone in again? Will Levi be able to regain the trust he had with Dehlia or is the pain still to much for them both to heal.

Bake Believe AUDIO BOOK by Cori Cooper- Review by Lauren West

“Bake Believe” has officially turned me on to audio books. It was such a cute story, and the way it was told really had your imagination running. The narrator made that story everything and more. I listened to it every chance I had, and the time fly by each chapter making it hard to believe it was as long as it was.
The story starts with Cat who is newly entering 8th grade. Her and her cousin Robyn are excited for new electives, boys, and a great new year. First day of school she is put into an elective for culinary arts. New and unfamiliar because her mother does absolutely no cooking unless its frozen or pre-made its a new experience for her. She excited to bake and be with her classmates but soon starts to receive odd behavior from her mother who doesn’t want her to cook or take the class. As the story unfolds we learn that there are family secrets deep within Cats family, and while her aunt bakes with love and her mother scorns the kitchen as whole its Cat who we find with some extraordinary powers in the kitchen. Its a very fun story and each chapter ending provides a recipe related to the chapter. Kids and adults will appreciate this book!

Avenging Devil Part 2 (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #4) by Manda Mellett – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Avenging Devil Part 2: Satan's Devils MC San DiegoAvenging Devil Part 2: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is Part 2 of Avenging Devil, a story from the San Diego Chapter of Manda Mellett’s Satan’s Devils MC series. It pretty much goes without saying, but you’re definitely going to want to read Part 1 first so go do that now and then come back to this book!
Part 1 left me on such a cliff-hanger, I couldn’t WAIT to get started on Part 2. I couldn’t see how Niran and Saffie could possibly survive the situation they were in. And this book didn’t disappoint, resolving some things but then throwing curveballs and keeping the tension and the drama coming throughout.
My favourite thing about this book is that the magnitude of the situation meant that all the Satan’s Devils chapters got involved. It’s great when so many of my favourite characters come together and interact with each other! I particularly enjoyed catching up with Swift, Cowboy and the rest of the Utah chapter.
This is a dark and at times difficult book to read. Like Part 1, it addresses many sensitive and at times scary issues including racism, rape, PTSD and complications in pregnancy. The warmth and camaraderie of the Satan’s Devils helps to balance the darkness and provide a safe space for both the characters and readers to recover.
For me, this is a five-star read. I’ve been thinking about the story constantly since I read Part 1, and found the conclusion very satisfying without being too predictable.
