This is my Review of Master Tuscano Master of the Consulates Book 2 by Sylvia Black. I can say I am already hooked to this series and can’t wait to read book 3! This book mainly focuses on Christian, a member of the consulate, Delilah, a human who was turned due to dire circumstances, but it still keeps the characters from book 1 in sync greatly balancing the story. I am still going to say that Luce and Salvatore are still my favorite characters, but the relationship of Christian and Delilah is an amazing story itself with how much they’ve been through since they already had a relationship before the tragedy happened. If you love romance with a touch of steamy and demanding, this is your series. The main storyline is still going on and I love how it changes so much, but we still get the good relationship parts. I have already added Sylvia on my author list of good books. 👍

I LOVE LOVE LOVED this book! This series!! This is book 2 and boy it does NOT disappoint. You pick up after where book 1 left off and I recommend that you do read book 1 before diving into book 2. Can I say…..this story is truly fantastic. Mystery, Love, Lust and a fabulous talking mirror I just loved. You meet interesting characters. My heart broke when Vanessa does realize when she is now in the underworld, her choices impacted so many who loved her. I realize she wanted to save her brother, but the impact she had tore at my heart strings. Grey does not want Vanessa in the underworld with him, Raef loves Vanessa and Aroz…he still is a tricky one. I dont want to give to much away, but I highly recommend this book and series! The Ending!! I need book 3 ASAP!

What a cute story by Cori Cooper! I listened with my daughter and she enjoyed it so much. Bake Believe’s main character Cat is a spunky teenager that is unapologetically herself. As she shares her view of the world with us, we learn that like many other teenagers, she is into boys, friends, and living life to the fullest. Cat’s world is turned upside down when a mishap in her school schedule caused the reveal of a huge family secret. The secret has Cat learning to grow and mature while understanding more about herself. This story is fun and inspiring. The narrator Katie Penate did an amazing job portraying each character’s individuality and making the story come to life! If you have a young teen in your life, consider this book.

Trish is a new author to me and she didn’t disappoint. Charlie and Tank’s story was a great quick read! The story is sweet and sexy with relatable emotions. The characters are intriguing and likeable.
Charlie felt she had the perfect life until she got blindsided. Once she gets out she realizes she had blinders on in her relationship and she wasn’t as happy as she thought herself. This opens her up to be Charlie again! Her move back home was exactly what she needed.
I will definitely be picking up more books of Trish’s to read.

I get so incredibly excited when I see a new Madeline Dawkins mystery is coming from Cynthia Hamilton and this one was no exception! Houses of Deception is the sixth book in The Madeline Dawkins Series and as much as I say this every time, it is my absolute favorite yet! I have just completely fallen in love with this series and the characters that have become like family as I have followed them through each and every mystery they have tackled as well. I personally would say you will want to start at the beginning and get to know the characters and understand the way the team works with the first book and go from there if you have not yet. I am sure you could read them as standalones if you so chose though. The attention to detail and world building that Ms. Hamilton puts into her writing is phenomenal and really makes the reading experience a breeze. I won’t give away much more than the blurb about the mystery that Madeline finds herself in the middle of in this read but I can assure you it is one you do not want to miss! I can’t wait to see what we will get next from the super talented Ms. Hamilton!

A twisted story of interspecies love, and the ravages that war wreaks on beings. Tasha and Levi are the epitome of star-crossed lovers, being forced apart to participate on opposite sides of a war neither agrees with. The plot is interesting and varied enough to keep reader engaged. The revelation of the shared enemy was a cool shift in the story that I didn’t expect. I would have liked to see a little more character development around Tasha and Levi, some layers in their relationship and personalities. All in all, a paranormal romance that will keep you guessing.

Avenging Devil Part 2 (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #4) By Manda Mellett 5 Stars
Thank God this book picked up exactly where part one ended. I was left hanging on the edge of my seat, holding my breath. Part two was amazing! Honestly, this author never disappoints. Every book that I have read gets better and better. This book has action, romance and some serious drama. I flew through a whole range of emotions, one minute I’m happy then sad then angry and so nervous. There were a few heart stopping moments in this story.
Niran tries his best to stay alive to protect Saffie but to do that he needs to lie through his teeth and use his best acting skills even if she ends up hating him. He couldn’t live with himself if she died. Both are put in life threatening situations which will have you losing hope. What Saffie has lived through is an absolute horror. I don’t think I have ever hated a character more than Duke. There are so many twists in this book. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. This is a definite must read, I loved it!

Bake Believe is a charming sweet story about a preteen who ends up in a class about cooking! I often found myself chuckling while reading and reminiscing about those days where the smallest inconveniences seemed like the end of the world! This book was great, and was narrated very nicely! I loved the sass and im sure we can all see ourselves in Cori Coopers characters! Great job!!

My goodness. I fell in love with Trent. He has been broken beyond what He thought was repairable. Charlie has always seen past the mess to see the true wonderful man that lays beneath. Though she has been hurt on more than one occasion, Charlie is so strong. Life brings them back together. Both trying to put the past behind them to just be friends for her brother’s sake. I adored this story and their love. Sometimes family genes bring good and bad. They find out though that never defines them!

Cursed Touch is the fourth book in the Broderick Coven series by AJ Renee. I highly suggest reading the other three books as well. AJ Renee is an amazing author. Her attention to detail really paints a vivid picture in my mind’s eye. Her characters are complex and fully developed. I had a hard time putting this book down as it is one of my favorites. This is a paranormal romance story. This is about Carter Broderick and his ability to heal. This is a gift he has and he loved being in the medical field. When Vanessa walked into his life all bets were off. He needed to protect her and not allow her to fall, victim. I highly recommend this book to find out what happens between Carter and Vanessa.

Having enjoyed the previous two books in the ‘Heron Harbor’ series I was looking forward to reading this next instalment and was not disappointed. It was lovely being back on Heron Harbor Island and the author really made the setting come alive once again. It can be read as a standalone story, however the characters do crossover and I’ve enjoyed the books as a series. This storyline follows artist and traveller Lark Donovan and Heron Harbor local Police Chief Hunter McMullen, and has a second chance at love theme. Lark is happy being independent and free spirited, travelling the country selling her paintings at festivals and teaching workshops whilst Hunter loves his life on Heron Harbor. Although Lark had a rule never to return to her childhood home she has to break this for her sister’s wedding, only to discover that someone she once had feelings for is also part of the wedding party, Hunter. For Hunter, Lark was the one that got away and having been reunited after years apart he’s not going to waste this opportunity. The couple discover that the chemistry between them is still there and it definitely sizzles off the page. Hunter decides to do all he can to convince Lark to stay which results in some sexy scenes. But despite this Lark still starts to pull away resulting in a story which kept me hooked from start to finish. I loved the main characters and found them both very easy to relate to and so felt engaged in their story. This is a lovely, heartwarming contemporary romance and I look forward to future books by this author.

JD Spero has hit it out of the park and beyond with this sequel to Boy on Hold. Ty is released after having had a psychotic break and murdering his neighbor Miss. Sally. After his mother Marcella is brutally attacked, Ty is arrested for the crime. Marcella insists that he is innocent but Ty seems to have confessed when the police arrived on the scene. JD does such a marvelous job bringing mental health to the forefront of this novel. I loved it from beginning to end.

A great follow up to book one. After a one way ticket to hell in trade for her brother’s life, Vanessa finds herself in close quarters with the Don of the Underworld; Grey. Despite her location, she soon finds out she is not alone and makes friends and even finds family. This book is fast paced and easy to read and the characters are relatable.
I loved the fact that this book had so many twists in the plot that you didn’t know what was coming. The ending of this book will leave you wanting more.

So Close: A Best Friends to Enemies to Lovers Romance by Renee Regent is the fourth book in the Love Grows series. This is a well written story that hooked me right from the start. I am a sucker for any time of enemies to lovers romance, even better if they started as friends! So when I saw this next book in the series I knew immediately I had to read it. I absolutely love Dahlia and Levi. I seemed to connect with both of these characters immediately and really wanted to see how things would work for them. They had everything going for them – chemistry, history, drama. I just thought they were so enjoyable to read about. This book is definitely my favourite one of the series so far and is a book I might have to do a re-read of sooner rather than later!

His brother, Ty, begins acting very strange after the crime. Hen is certain Ty could have nothing to do with the crime. After all, he loves his brother and cannot imagine him being capable of such actions.

Her Dark Love by Isra Sravenheart is the fourth book in the Dark Spell series. This is one series that I would highly recommend reading in order so that you can get full enjoyment out of it. I really enjoyed this book. It is an origins story as such, looking back at what is the start of Lady Isra’s journey. It is such a fast past story that you are so easily drawn into everything going on. I have enjoyed all this series so far but I do think this book is my favourite! I enjoyed going back to see where it all started and to understand more about the main character and why she is the way she is. I also have yo say that I think this book has got to be one of my all time favourite book covers. I could not stop looking at it. Even if I hadn’t got this book we the next in the series I would have picked it up based on the cover alone. A brilliant book and well worth the time.

Dream catchers Prestoria by J. U. Menon is a must read. It is one of those fantasy books that you just can’t put down. Filled with adventure, folklore, and legends. J. U.

So Close: A Best Friends To Enemies to Lovers Romance is book four in the Love Grows series by Renee Regent. As far as friends to lovers stories go, this one ranked very high. Also add in the enemies drama, which made this book almost impossible to put down. The interaction between characters was seamless and even though there were many battles, the connection was undeniable and the chemistry was incredibly steamy. The heartbreak was brutal and the sense of betrayal palpable. Dahlia and Levi were a couple that should never have been. Their history was marred with tears and a lack of trust, but they fought their demons and won. Their strength was admirable and the willingness to eventually forgive provided a gripping and seductively structured masterpiece. I truly felt every struggle this couple battled through. Their ending was hard fought and so very passionate. In my eyes, a near perfect story. Stunning in its complexity, beautiful in it’s conclusion. This one will definitely be worth many re-reads. 5 stars.

So so sweet! I loved how it gave the backstory and helped build the world they were currently living in. It was so realistic and relatable – I wanted MORE at the end! I would love to follow their story and see where life takes them simply because of how real the story was, including the thoughts they had in their heads and the feelings they showed each other. It’s a feel good love story that I found myself smiling and even laughing out loud to throughout the entire book!

Talk about a story! Wow! Forbidden love…angst…mafia…suspense…crime… this book has it all. I really appreciated how the author developed the characters inside the relationship with each other as well as the factors pulling them apart. If you love a good guy/bad guy romance – this one is a must read.

Dahlia and Levi are childhood buddies that grew up together and were best friends until she experienced the ultimate betrayal from her ex-husband and her ex-best friend. And until she gets the general manager position at the resort, life has been good. Now she must work with the contractor to plan a 6-wk renovation. The contractor is none other than Levi. She must deal with her feelings as they work on this project. She learns the real reason that he did what he did. She also has to deal with her son’s behavior and an ex-husband who is an overgrown child. Dahlia is a strong woman who has a stubborn streak a mile long. She puts up with a lot and she comes through many challenges with a lot of strength. Levi has always been in love with her so he’ll wait while she works things out. This book is fantastic. I love how the main character is a divorced single mom. It shows that she can find romance again but it also shows the struggles also. It also showed a little of the struggle kids of divorce go through. Supporting characters were great, even Tara with her whiny bratness, just blending into the background. The description sounds heavenly. That’s a resort I would love to visit. Highly recommend.

This is a new author for me and I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a suspenseful story with a twist of romance. This is a well written story about Dee and her partner Connie. They are put on a murder case where a woman is strangled to death. This is where the story takes an action turn and is hard to put down. Not only are they looking for a murderer but they also life plays havoc on romance. This is an engaging story that pulled me in from the start. The characters are not only relatable but they kept the story engaging. They brought the story to life with their twists and turns. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

This is a great box set that contains the first three stories from The Marcy Series by this author. It is a great series that has a little bit of everything in it from action to romance. Each book contains a story about Marcy and her friends. She is a great character that you just want to know more about. She is a character full of emotions and very strong. She is my favorite in this series and her friends supported her really well. Each story is unique and has its own plot and twists and turns. They are engaging stories that are hard to put down. They are fun and entertaining to read. I highly recommend this box set and this author.

I enjoyed this book. This is a newer author for me and I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a well written story about two people, one who has a dark past and the other who has no intention of falling in love with anyone. Erin returns home to care for her sick mother. What she doesn’t expect is to come face to face with “Ripper”. The problem is that he has a dark past and it could cause harm to their relationship. She never expected to fall for him or his past. Will the truth save their relationship or will it destroy it? I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning by the characters. They are connectable and brought life to the story. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout the story. They have a great chemistry together. I found myself hoping they would end up together at the end. They made the story fun and easy to read. This is a really great story that I enjoyed. I highly recommend this book.

D. Jackson – Review by Cindy Mayberry
This is not my normal genre, but decided to give it a whirl. I have a hard time keeping the universes cohesive in my head, luckily there is a helpful guide at the beginning of the book. I can get lost in a romance book, this one really made me think. Someone from every universe got the same message from an all knowing power, “I am sorry, but I must leave you for awhile.” They were all told to rely on their teachings and meditation helped them do this. They make their own futures, and with a war brewing, which side will win? Makes me wonder, what messages would I receive or find if I took the time to mediate and reflect? What else is out there? Could there really be parallel universes? I look forward to the next book, thank you James Talisman, for spinning a tale that made me dig inside myself.

This book set is a great way to start this series! And you must start at the beginning!
This first book is an interesting story. I felt like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop the entire time I was reading this book. The plot is a good one, with the main character, Marcy, experiencing some unexplained nightmares and rage. Her boyfriend, Brad, tries to make her understand that people are beginning to fear her. This just makes her angrier. Brad is by no means perfect and has his own problems. This couple gets engaged but sadly it doesn’t last long when they discover they have major problems to work out. Because Marcy didn’t have enough going on in her crazy life, she meets Liam.
I enjoyed this story because I experienced a range of emotions with the characters from their experiences. A little rage myself at the hospital scene. I have found that Brad tends to bring out my worst feelings. However, when Marcy meets Liam, that relationship brings out my swoony type feelings. (Although I think they are rushing things.)
I did not think that Marcy’s rage was all that out of control. Although when she learned to control it she seemed to be able to rather quickly. I think there could have been more situations where she was out of control. There were situations where she should have been out of control but she was rather passive. Marcy is a very likeable character and I cannot wait to see how and when Burson gives Marcy a happily ever after.
Confusion is book two in the Marcy series. In this book Marcy seems to have her rage still under control. After she met Liam in book one she learns there is a better outlet for her rage. In Confusion she is given more opportunities to let that rage loose. Her real confusion is loving two men and it is making me crazy! I really don’t know how one person could do it. She is much stronger than she thinks. However, I would like to see Brad become a little stronger himself. He seems weak through the first half of the book. And then he kind of goes MIA. Leaving us to wonder what he is cooking up.
Liam’s past is still a mystery and his current life as a vigilante keeps him mysterious. I hope when all is said and done he isn’t a bad guy! I am still #teamliam though-out this book!
Again, Burson’s writing style makes this storyline easy to read. I want a happily ever after and Marcy just can’t make a choice…I really don’t blame her…much.
To get the whole story you must read before book one, Rage, before reading Confusion. I love the titles that the author has given to these books. Perfect! However, my feelings are mixed about the main characters. Liam, Marcy and Brad…make a choice already! I did wish there was a bigger wow factor for the cliff hanger but I am still going to read the next book, Agony and Ecstasy. That sounds about right for these characters! I can’t imagine what Burson has in store for these three!
Ok here we go. Agony and Ecstasy is the third book in the Marcy Series. Will it be the last? With that ending I certainly hope not!
Here’s what causes Marcy’s rage, confusion, agony AND ecstasy!
“My life seems to be running in slow motion, and I can’t speed it up no matter what I do. I still think of Brad all the time, but I’m not missing him the way I’m missing Liam. Isn’t that interesting?”
To me this story had more agony than ecstasy. I just can’t like Brad. Everyone else does, Marcy, her friends, her parents, maybe even Linda Burson herself. I really am trying. I was #teamliam all through book 2 but this time he makes some choices and does some things that makes me wonder just what is really going on.
I can tell you this author likes twists! Major twist at the half way mark, another twist before the wedding, minor twist at the wedding, twist with Liam and Marcy, twist with Brad and Marcy. Can you understand the main character’s confusion? agony?
This story had good writing as the first two books did. This story focuses on Marcy’s confusion about loving these two great men. This story has a bittersweet happy ending but I didn’t like it…remember I am #teamliam. I felt no closure with this ending so let’s see what Burson can bring in the next book.

I really enjoyed this book by J.U. Menon. Dream Catchers is a story about a girl, Radhika, and the journey she undertakes in the dream world Prestoria. Radihika’s journey had it all, adventure, danger, laughs, and some surprises. J.U. Menon created a vibrant and colorful world in Dream Catchers and it was a joy to be a part of it. I look forward to reading more from J.U. Menon.
