My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Christian Tuscano is one of the twelve Masters of the Consulate of Vampires. The love of his life is Delilah. He wanted Delilah as his partner, but being a human, the consulate disagreed with his proposal.

Delilah was taken by a rogue vampire as part of a human trafficking ring, and now Christian wants revenge. Being a part of the Consulate means that he must be granted permission to seek his revenge. As a human, Delilah does not need permission and after recovering flies to Chicago to find her abductor. During her inquisition, she is fatally wounded by some rogue shifters. Christian arrives just as the shots begin and turns her before he can be granted permission by Delilah or the Consulate.

Christian is determined to get the Consulate’s permission, but Delilah doesn’t make it easy. With her new powers as a vampire, she often ignores the rules and goes off on her own. She is especially determined to prove that the witches she spent time with after the Consulate’s first decision do not bear any ill will against the vampires. Will she come to accept the rule of order of the vampire community? Can she convince the Consulate that she desires to be with Christian forever?

Sign Steal Deliver (Gods of Thunder MC) by Carrie Pulkinen
4 Stars

The thing I love most about this author’s books is that they are lighthearted romantic comedies with a paranormal twist. I adored the fact that this book included Greek deities. I love Greek mythology! The Fates picked a perfect match when they chose Hermes and Kat; the god of thieves and a cat burglar. Things are definitely not smooth sailing especially after Kat steals from him. This leads them both on a wild escapade of godly proportions.

The story will capture your attention and the characters will capture your heart. I truly hope Ms. Pulkinen decides to write more adventures with the other gods. This is a definite must read!

Bared. (A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Karen Marsh

Bared. (Green St. Girls #1)Bared. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book with N.D. Jackson, and I can easily say this is one of the best romance books I have read in a while. Bared was an amazing read from start to finish! The easy feeling of the authors descriptions (especially of emotions and eyes) makes the reading fly by so fast. The book focuses on Athena from the Green St. Girls, who are her closest friends, and the love that she didn’t want but truly needed.

Athena is rich, strong, and independent. She is also not quick to use the word love for anyone except her girls. When Tru walks into the scene, that doesn’t change that fact. The quirky moments between the girls and between Athena and Tru, brings the characters to life! I very much look forward to reading more about the Green St. Girls!

I love a good rom-com, this book had me giggling through out. The characters were great they had undeniable chemistry from the start even though they wanted so bad to ignore it well Elle did thats for sure, Elle and Zane were great and they really bounced off each other through arguing/flirting. This was a nice easy read with a dash of mystery mixed in.

This was my first time reading Sylvia Black. I think the author did a wonderful job developing the history and story line of the vampire consulate going up against a Big Bad that threatens their existence. Eventually, all the Masters are going to have to fight back against the Big Bad, as they fall in love and find their mates. This was the first of the Masters to fall in love and find his mate. I felt like all the characters were believable (as much as any vampire book!) and look forward to reading more about how the other Masters will fall in love and find their mates.

Please note that this book is definitely for adults; as there are adult elements that are described.

Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black is the second book in the Masters of the Consulate series. As amazing as what book one was I couldn’t see how the author could possibly keep that going. And yet she seemed to do so completely effortlessly. After finishing book one I dove straight into this one and I could not put it down. I finished the whole book in one sitting and I am desperate to get my hands on more. The way this author writes is just mesmerising. Again, I can’t see how she could possibly top this book and I cannot wait for her to show me!

The chemistry between them was unbelievable. You could feel it right from the start and it was the underlying element to the whole book.
You can’t help but to become fully immersed in this book, to the point where I found it hard to put the book down. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I could not have asked for a better introduction!

I really, really enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down! I laughed so hard during certain spots that I cried. I really enjoyed the part at the end where the author made connections to real-world lion and tiger rescues and how we can help. This book was an eye-opener on the cruelty that these lions face daily, but it also added a fun little twice with the ROMCOM story added. I would read this book again in the future. I also think I would love a prequel with Nancy and Nigel’s story. I think that would be another fun one to read with its own humor!

We start off this book right where we ended book one – which is HUGE for me as a reader. There is no backtracking or second-guessing a scene that we may have missed. Vanessa is acclimating to the afterlife and being stuck in Grey’s top-floor penthouse. She meets Gorgonita who is her ticket to keeping track of her family and how they are doing after her death. She meets PK, who could LITERALLY eat anyone out of house and home, but seems so adorable I don’t think that I would mind. Add in the surprise elements of Aroz, a long-lost soul, and some family reunions, and this book was EVERYTHING I didn’t know that I needed. I cannot wait for Hazel’s next installment for this series.

Natalie is a fiery redhead with a temper, but she is also smart, ever since she was kidnapped in the middle of the night, she has studied her prison and thankfully made a friend in the process, but now is the time for her to try and escape, if only a tall blonde Viking like man didn’t interrupt her thoughts all the time, she would have figured things out a lot more quickly.

Hamersveld knows that if she is caught, a fate worse than she can imagine awaits her, however, when he gets to the site of the prison, another Dragonkind has his hands on her, this tips him over the edge and he becomes a feral fighting machine.

Natalie was so close to escape, she could almost taste it, but when she is caught and she sees the mystery man, she cannot believe her eyes as he transforms before her eyes into something she thought only existed in folklore, after he has placed in a safe space and shown his authority over the other man, he gives her a choice, to go back to the prison, or to go with him, she cannot deny that she is attracted to him, but is that decision in her best interest and which way will the pendulum swing? Which future will Natalie swing towards, a life in confinement, or an exchange of time for a bit more freedom? This is a paranormal romance with an element of danger, where choices could lead to either happiness or heartbreak, but which one is chosen can only be found out by reading to the end.

Journeys Through SpaceTimeJourneys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ll be honest Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is not something I usually read; I normally stick with thriller books. However, I do not regret branching out and trying something new. Many things are happening, a lot of action, some danger, and mystery also. I wasn’t quick to figure what would happen. I thought I could guess; usually, I am pretty good at it, but Journeys Through SpaceTime kept me guessing the whole time. There are many characters, but it’s not so many that it is overwhelming because James Talisman provided a character list at the beginning of the book that really helps to understand who everyone is. The amount of detail written about the characters and what they’re facing/dealing with is so good. I felt like I was there with them like I have known these characters for a long time. It’s worth the read, and I don’t think anyone would be disappointed by taking the time to read it. I would encourage everyone to read it, even if it were a genre you would normally read. Leap and try it out!

Master Tuscano is the second book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. This is a delicious paranormal romance- with a bit of a dark tone, vampires, shifters, witches, revenge, an underworld society, politics, supernatural elements, drama, danger, agendas, action, adventure, emotion, tension, chemistry, and sizzling hot details.
After reading the first book and loving what I discovered, I really couldn’t wait to dive into this book. I jumped right in and devoured every word in my lunch break. Sylvia Black has definitely gained a stalker, um, I mean a fan, yes, a fan who has developed a bit of an addiction to her fantastic stories! I need another fix, STAT- so I am really excited to find that there are 12 books planned for this series! Colour me happy!
Bring on book #3!!!

An Enduring Love by Wareeze Woodson is an historical romance packed full of so much drama and angst it gave me a headache reading it. I have to be honest here, this book frustrated me to death. It had so much potential. But Rhys ruined it lol…. I hated Rhys with a passion and just wanted to throttle home the whole way through the book. He was just such a jerk, so cruel to Rebecca- and quite unnecessarily so!! The push-pull gave me whiplash, and there was so much manufactured drama and contradictions that I really did have to force myself to keep reading.
I have enjoyed the other books of Ms. Woodson’s that I have read previously, so I was hoping the whole way through the story that Rhys would redeem himself- but in the end he didn’t, and the little he did do was too little too late.
I found the story hard to get into and couldn’t connect with the characters at all. I did feel sorry for Rebecca and all she went through- but I thought she could have done so much better than Rhys!
On to Wareeze Woodson’s next book. Stay tuned.

Thank you, Wareeze Woodson!

I really enjoyed this fantasy adventure. It is the first book in the Rise of The Celtic God’s and I can’t wait to read more. I love the way the author has mixed modern surroundings with mystical story’s and folk tales.
As well as the adventure there is also a romance between Smithy and Saoirse.

It starts off with Saoirse losing her job and finding out her father has died in an accident. But things start twisting and turning when Saoirse biological granny finds her and explains that she was adopted. So now Saoirse had questions about who her parents are.

While staying with her granny she meets Smithy. They are drawn together through their love of music but is there something more powerful bringing them together. Are they together to go up against a greater power which they can only defeat together?

It’s a beautiful story full of adventure, mythical folklore and a mixture of Irish music. There is something for everyone.

HOLD ME FOREVER (HERON HARBOR Book 3) by LEA NOLAN – Review by Angela Hayes

Hold Me ForeverHold Me Forever by Lea Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Hold Me Forever is the third book in the Heron Harbor series by Lea Nolan. This series took me by surprise back in book one- I really wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did. Considering that we met the MC’s in this book in the previous book/s (where they were supporting characters), and the fact that I really loved the first two instalments meant that I had high expectations for this book. So, after devouring it in one sitting, I am happy to say that it was even better than I had hoped for.
It is a contemporary, small-town, second chance romance, with plenty of sizzling chemistry, steamy scenes, drama, angst, and some wonderfully quirky, interesting and endearing characters.
Even though this could be read as a standalone, as each instalment focuses on one particular couple, I really recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one- as having a cast of recurring characters who appear in each instalment, means there are plenty of interesting details contained in the previous instalments which are really worth knowing, as I feel that would enhance your reading experience of this book.
I had already loved Hunter from the previous books, and I was quite intrigued by Lark and wanted to know so much more about her as I found her a little mysterious (in previous books). So it was really great to finally get to know her better, and also see what these two had in store for themselves. Lark and Hunter have a bit of a complicated past- and have been apart for 6 years. But the spark between them still burns- and it doesn’t take much to rekindle it into a fiery blaze. What happens between the local town sheriff and the quirky, free spirited artist? This is definitely worth the read to discover all the wonderful details for yourself.
I really hope this isn’t the last we will see of Heron Harbor.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Nolan does next.

Thank you, Lea Nolan!

Master Descallia : Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 1) by Sylvia Black

This is the first book I’ve read by Black. Although it won’t be my last. This is the first book in the Masters of Consulate Series. It follows Luce and Salvatore through their story.

Lucianna works on the police force and has powers. Dealing with missing women is what she is working on. Then something happens to her and she is forced to resign. The quote I chose for Lucianna is: “I have to go. They were both dueling with too many powers, Salvatore. They needed time to recharge before they went after Embry, and we don’t know that it’s not a trap. Nothing has been as it seems. I have to go. She needs me.”

Salvatore isn’t looking for a mate because he lost his mate a long time ago. When Lucianna comes into his life she turns it upside down. Dealing with missing women and dealing with Luce turns out to be a trip. The quote I chose for Salvatore is: “Look at me! This is not on you but the piece of human trash who hates us because we’re different. Hates us because we have rules and don’t condone the mistreatment and slavery of women, even humans. He has been at odds with us since we put controls on the syndicate business. You were caught in the middle because Morgan told you and he knew you were coming to work for me. He wanted you taken out before you had a chance to learn any more, or work with me.”

Highly recommended forVampire Paranormal lovers.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hawke by Anise Storm is the first book in the Men of Syn series. I took a chance on a subject I’m not too familiar with but I’m glad I did. This story leads you into the BDSM lifestyle and how love can be found within. I really enjoyed the character of Hawke and uncovering how he became the dominant. He is a broken soul who feels he is undeserving of good and love in the world. Charlotte was only a decent character. I found her to be a bit too “bad things happen to me too” type of persona and just did not vibe with her rich girl ways. She was a bit needy in my opinion but maybe that is why she makes a good submissive. The story itself was fun to read but the suspense thrown into the mix came late into the storyline and didn’t really make a huge impact on the overall love story. Overall, very satisfied with this read.

BOY RELEASED (BOY SERIES BOOK 2) by JD Spero – Review by Angela Hayes

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

 

 

Boy Released is the second book in the Boy series by J.D Spero. After reading Boy On Hold last year, I was excited to find this book had released and so I grabbed a copy and put aside my other reads to dive right in.
Even though this story takes place quite a few years after the events in book one- I really recommend reading Boy On Hold before starting on this book.
This is a gripping story, with a bit of a thriller feel to it-there is mystery, drama, emotion, heartache, tension, family dynamics, friendship, and dealing with mental illness. Again, the story is told from several points of view- which gives a really well-rounded perspective of what’s happening and adds extra depth and interest to the overall story.
J.D Spero doesn’t shy away from the difficult topic of mental illness- and shines a light on someone dealing with schizophrenia and how it affects not only them, but also their friends and family.
Well worth the read!

Thank you, J.D Spero!

Drifting, Falling: Diary of a Call Girl Suicide by A.J. Ullman- Review by Lauren West

Drifting, Falling -- Diary of a Call Girl SuicideDrifting, Falling — Diary of a Call Girl Suicide by A.J. Ullman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is one that you read and you always remember. It is an emotionally heartfelt, haunting, and raw tale of the struggle to go on in life when you feel defeated. Ripley tells her story very unapologetically. A once innocent girl she has suffered thru numerous emotional traumas, and those dark demons prove hard for her to escape. With her therapist, her diary, and her dreams of space she feels ready to leave this earth. This story was hard to read at moments because no one should go thru what Ripley has and as her mental health continues to decline it was heartbreaking at many moments. This book was beautifully written and Ripley was a unique character who can easily be related to. This story dealt with difficult subjects, and quite a few times I was in tears and had to stop a moment, but not reading to the end was not an option. Its a book everyone should pick up.

The God (Her Three Immortals, #2)The God by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was amazing. It left off right where book one ended. I loved that it added more suspense and romance. I was hooked all over again. The way Storm brought the characters to life made me feel like I was inside a movie. The ending had me on edge and wanting so much more. I can’t wait til book 3 comes out.
