The Law is an Ass! (Donovan Trait Book 2) by Seelie Kay – Review by Heidi Schoolman
I was hesitant starting out this book as it reminded me of Twilight (just not a PG version) but the twists made it truly unique. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next one! I enjoyed the expansion of the characters and introduction of new ones. The addition of a scientific viewpoint makes the vampire story truly unique. I could not put it down once I got started and would recommend it to someone who likes modern vampire stories.

No Way Out is the first novel in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley.
To protect the granddaughter of his mentor, Max, under disguise he invades the Chicago Mafia. His plan is to get revenge on those who have wronged him, but once he sees her, the plans change.
Under her father’s control, Liliana, has no escape and is only a pawn in her father’s quest for power. Meeting Max may take her from the prison of her father to another prison.
I didn’t think I was going to like this as much as I did. I do not read Mafia storylines all that much but when I do, I do enjoy them.
Liliana was a force to be reckoned with and I loved her strong character. Her relationship with Max as well as the progression was great to read.
I look forward to reading more of this series. I hope the second book releases soon.

This book follows on from the book First We Kill All The Lawyers and what a follow on. This book is action packed and full of twists. It is definately a story that you won’t be able to put down. You will also feel loads of emotions from happiness to sadness, anger and fear.
We are back with Donovan and Shirley. Now Shirley has been turned she is free to marry Donovan and start a life together. Under the laws set by the Vampire Coalition Shirley isn’t allowed to fall pregnant without someone monitoring her for research purposes.
However plans changes when she finds out she is pregnant on her wedding day. What should be a happy time for the couple turns into a nightmare which sees Donovan and Shirley on the run to save their unborn babies.
Why are they being targeted like this? Surely vampires babies are a good thing? Or will the birth of two health babies unravel a lie that has been told for centuries?

As usual, the story line was fantastic!!! Just when Vanessa thinks things may be simple, guess again!!! She finds herself on a mission for the queen herself…..what could go wrong?? These books are so well written. Hazel is a gem for sure. The only reason I knocked it down a star was because of the sex scenes. It was a little too much for me.

Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling by A.L. Morrow is the first book in the Stone and Cinder series. I loved that this felt like a completely unique retelling so such a classic story that it came across as a story in its own right. It felt new and such a great read. It is quite a short story, which is a shame because it is so good. But the author has really created a lasting story that really grabbed my attention. I enjoyed all the characters, each of them so well written. This is a brilliant book and I am excited to see what comes next in book 2!

Mahle and Elle Madison – Review by Rebecca Hill
If you are looking for a strong protagonist that can hold her own at a time where women are still looked at as less than men, then look no further! This story is just the book I needed to read with everything going on in the world right now. I love the way this story is told like an actual story. There is a narrator and someone listening and its like you are getting read a book while reading the book and I love that. I haven’t read anything with that format before this story. Emma is just such a strong character. She deals with multiple mystery cases at once, while also learning new skills to help her team with their cases and also holding a part time job and is getting everything done. I don’t know how Kimberly Mullins created such a character or such a team that I became so invested in. As I was reading I wanted to know every thing about them I couldn’t learn too much about them. I can’t say enough good things about this book.
I absolutely ADORE these stories! Lara did such a great job of setting the scene and having Kayla & Tanner’s interactions so natural and fluid that I felt like I was reading a diary rather than a work of fiction. I could picture everything as it was taking place! These stories are an absolute guilty pleasure of mine and I enjoy them to the fullest. Boy meets girl, relationship is established, emotions are formed, hurdles are overcome, hurt ensues, someone apologizes to someone & either they walk away or they make it work! It’s a simple equation but it’s perfect when done correctly. I can’t really say any more without giving away vital parts of the book so all I will say is, READ IT YOURSELF! Pinky-promise?
This book gave me all the feels. I laughed, I cried, I got angry, I felt love. Author K.G. Fletcher brings you into a world of past and future. I loved her attention to detail with all the characters. Kat (Katherine) is a professional singer coming back to her hometown to finish off her tour at the Grand Theater. Unexpected turn of events, has her travelling back in time and then back again. As the story unfolds you absolutely fall in love with the characters. I can wait for the continuation of this wonderfully written and engaging story of Katherine and Phillip. If you have never read this amazing author before, this is the perfect book to begin.

A quick, fun and easy read that will have you giggling. Kayla and Tanner have such a fun chemistry that it sizzles. Neither thinks they have time for romance so they choose to go for no-strings attached. All the fun and no commitment which works nice until someone else enters the picture. The someone else happens to be Kayla’s ex, can we say green-eye’d monster here? Kayla has a child with him and that makes it very complicated for her. Tanner soon realizes that strings have attached. The characters in this story are hilarious and well-written. There scenes in the beginning of the story are classic. When she is caught butt-staring, her responses are lame yet funny, but Tanner is busted too. I mean, come one, who hasn’t done that? And when she tried to text her bestie a picture of his butt and he was right behind her? I started laughing so hard my chest hurt. This is an incredibly funny romance that you should definitely read. It will make your day brighter. Highly recommend.

This was a fantastic book. I found it completely entailed the teen relationship cycle. Angst over dating from previous relationships and how they affect your next ones to dealing with issues in your current relationships. Emme is struggling with the aftermath from her previous relationship with John, when she starts dating Brendon, the popular boy. Emme has many insecurities and you can see these come out throughout the stories. You may even feel them with a familiarity from your youth I did. The story is so well-done that you just continue watching Emme grow through the story as she matures through the insecurities and into the relationship. Brendon is a pretty amazing fellow. He’s down to Earth. He doesn’t see the girls falling over him. It is a really good story for Young Adults. I think it’s a wonderful story for all. Emme learned to appreciate what she had in front of her.

What did I just read? Honestly, I picked this short retelling of Cinderella up solely based upon how lovely the cover looked. I know, I know, don’t judge a book by it’s cover, but my goodness, this time it really worked out to my favor. My daughter and I had just watched the new Cinderella movie on Amazon Prime, and I was intrigued to discover yet another rendition, and couldn’t dismiss the urge to indulge in another fantasy.
I am very impressed by how well A.L. Morrow captivates their readers by drawing them in with similarities to the original story, and then expanding it into a whole new world and version of this folk tale. I loved how inclusive this was, no matter how unexpected. I especially enjoyed how Ashling turns out to be that strong, independent and courageous woman we have all come to know and love. I am very intrigued and excited to read the next installment in the Stone and Cinder series, as this short retelling leaves us wanting more, and more, and, well, babies are cute! Will certainly be not so patiently waiting for Ensnared: A Beauty and the Beast Retelling, especially given that Beauty and the Beast has been my all-time favorite forever! Well done, A.L. Morrow, the excitement is real.

This book was so well put together, from literally everything and anything that happened through out! I was very much entranced as if a vampire’s spell as I read through it, the things that happened and characters and how they came to be, it was amazing from start to finish! It was a great read, needless to say!
Donovan makes an appearance after his first sighting in the first novel. Vampire and lawyer. Still has sleek mesmerizing appearance that he brought on in the first novel. I defiantly saw character growth with him in more than one way than the first novel! Shirley and him are finally to get married. They were a power couple in the first novel so I really loved seeing them together and trying to live a good life. Drama seems to follow them and something happens that sets the plot of the book into motion!
Things go from happy getting married to a run for their lives and a fight for the future of their family literally. I loved both Donovan and Shirley as well that they stuck to their guns with what they believed and the book really shoed off to me, the importance of family, and how it is truly worth everything, despite any risks that may come from it!
To achieve what they believed they wanted, they really had to defy all odds! The book was rapid action and a lot of good heart felt moments. I seriously was rooting for this power couple to win and beat the tribunal basically at their own game! All in all, the book was a easy and fast paced read. One I could not put down. I was literally hooked from the beginning all the way to the end!
The book was amazing, and written perfectly. With every aspect I could literally think of possible. For me the character growth, especially with Donovan towards the end of the book, really got to my heart. I loved him and Shirly so much and they became even more likable in this amazing novel! If you enjoyed the first one, I truly feel you will love this one just as much! It truly has a spark that keeps going as you read through it, and its very impossible to put down! I highly recommend this book, well worth a read!

The God picks up right where book 1 finished which elated me! Let’s face it, I was going crazy needing to know what happened. I was blown out of my mind with how well I could visualize Elysium and Vanessa’s newly made friends. Um, I wonder if I can get a PK also?! Book 1 was steamy but book 2 fogged the windows. Fantastic job Hazel! I’m off to read book 3 because I can’t wait to see where this story goes.

I literally read The Don in one day. I don’t do that EVER lol. This book was such a good read. Fantastic storyline! Vanessa wants to save her brothers life. Interesting enough, the Don of the underworld moves into the neighborhood. Is it that simple though? Vanessa is my favorite 🙂 don’t get me started on the gods….LOVE them! Hazel knocked it out of the park with the first book! If you like gods, steamy love, and relatable characters, this is your book.

This is an exciting read that follows on with much the same awesomeness as the previous installments. I absolutely adore the heroine, Karina, she is both relatable and literally takes no prisoners.
In this installment we see Karina taking on some pretty horrendous accusations about her recent ex. Knowing that they cannot be true she jumps into action, determined to do anything she can to clear his name. As always though, things are never simple and Karina ends up knee-deep in more than she bargained for.
This is a fun read, as always Butler delivers with style.

I was so excited to see the newest instalment to this series and it didn’t disappoint in the slightest – I think this one may be my favourite of the whole series which is hard to say because I’ve loved them all. The action in this story kept me on the edge of seat – Vanessa is such a great character to read about – I really like her. There was a real attraction between Vanessa and her captor and I could definitely feel that coming through the story. The author definitely knows how to captivate me through her writing and this hasn’t wavered at all over the three books! I was also extremely excited that there is more to come from this series too!! I cannot wait!!

This book felt like a love letter, a love letter going back and forth between two eras, 1947 and the current time. Kat is a jazz singer who is just finishing a tour when she meets a stranger who gifts her with a locket. She finds a message in the locket and stumbles upon a portal that takes her back in time. Then the saga switches between the two eras and you fly on the magic carpet when the leading duo pull you into the world of jazz and everything vintage and retro. It is a beautiful read, I loved every bit of it. Beautiful romance . Hats off !

Just lovely. Something Lost by Bernadette Marie is a beautiful, second chance romance! This isn’t my first by Bernadette Marie and as always, she delivers a well-written story with great flow. I just love her writing style and character development. This was a page-turner for me for sure.
A group of friends and teammates return home to mourn the loss of their high school coach. Rachel, the coach’s daughter is there and we begin to learn that she and one of the friends, Craig, have history. Is there too much history? Or can they rekindle love from the past?
I just loved this book. It was full of nostalgia, friendship, and romance. I felt the characters were relatable, helping me invest more in the story. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.

Craig Turner and Rachel Diaz have come together again when Craig returns to help bury her father and his beloved coach. They had an intense romance in high school and thought they would be together for the long haul. With Rachel being a few years younger than Craig, she was left heartbroken when he graduated and went off to college. Maybe her father was being an overprotective father, but Coach Diaz forbade them from seeing one another and made them promise to keep their distance. The attraction and feelings couldn’t be ignored though. Now 10 years has passed and those intense feelings are coming back to life. They had kept their promise to Coach while he was alive and they are trying their hardest to keep that promise now that he is gone. Will they be able to build a friendship or will they cross that line and become something more?
I love second chance romances! These two were great together and I’m glad I picked up this book. Not only was this a second chance at romance, but it was a renewing of old friendships that was nice to read about. When we get busy living life we can tend to lose touch with those we were close with during our school days. Sparking up those old friendships and being able to pick up where you left off no matter how much time has passed is amazing.

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by Butler. Each Karina Cardinal Mystery keeps getting better. Butler knows how to keep her readers coming back and I can’t wait for the next installment.
Karina is our ever so daring woman. She will do anything she can to help the ones she cares about. When Mike, her ex, is being investigated she chooses to go to Silverthorne for help. The quote I chose for Karina is: “I bet you were popular with the ladies when they figured out you could dance.”
Rick has a soft spot for Karina as we’ve seen in the other books. He cares about her and only offers to help Mike so he can get her to agree on going on a date with him. Then he gets the scare of his life when he realizes that Karina is in the middle of a shootout. The quote I chose for Rick is: “Why don’t we go to your place? I’ll teach you the horizontal mambo.”
This book was incredible! It’s your classic wrong place wrong time scenario with so many twists and turns that leave you right on the edge of your seat! So we’ll written with a great flow and had me guessing to the end! I highly reccomend this one!!!

Swindler’s Revenge by Ellen Butler was a page turning mystery. Karina Cardinal receives a knock on her door that throws her world into turmoil. The FBI is looking for her ex boyfriend, Mike. Mike is accused of taking a bribe of $1.2 million, but Karina refuses to believe he is guilty. Karina begins to investigate on her own to prove Mike is innocent.

The deep emotional connection that this story touches on would be great for any YA read. And have the conversations that come up. High school and home life can get the best of any teen. When you throw in all the drama and heartache that comes with both! Most teens dwell on the bad things and take all the things said to heart. This story shows it is ok to make mistakes. But learning to trust your own heart in the process. This story is great for the younger kids to show them it is going to be ok in the end.

“The Scarlet Princess (The Lochlann Feuds #1)” by Robin Mahle and Elle Madison is a combination of the Disney Pixar movie, “Brave” mixed in with a little bit of Sarah J Maas’ (“A Crown of Wings and Fury” series).
Princess Rowan and her cousin Davin are arrested for trespassing and smuggling, held captive by the “barbarian” country that has been at war with their home of Lochlann, for years. Rowan is able to convince the Socairans to let Davin go free, but in exchange, she is to face a trial at the hands of the elder leaders of the surrounding communities. Accompanied to the Summit by Theo, a Socairan prince, Rowan anxiously awaits her fate- wondering if she will be subject to death. But as the journey goes forward and the Summit date draws near, Rowan and Theo begin to fall for each other even though both know that a relationship between the two rival clans would not be looked at favourably. As the Summit arrives, Rowan fears that she will be separated from Theo forever and Theo wonders if his influence will be enough to save Rowan’s life.
“Scarlet Princess” has nothing in its plotline that will be unexpected. Fans of this genre, and YA fantasy fans, will know exactly what is going to happen and how it will play out. That does not mean, of course, that you can’t enjoy the ride along the way.
Rowan is spunky and wry, unwilling to accept the fate dolled on upon her by the male leaders, every ounce the stereotypical young female role model. Sarcastic and brave, she is the very face of the protagonist we come to expect in a female-led YA fantasy series. Theo too, is the “well built, handsome and chiseled” prince whose love for Rowan is unexpected, and risky, but the two fall madly in love with each other anyway, after less than two weeks together.
The novel is the first in a series, and I adored Rowan enough that I am invested in seeing what happens next. “Scarlet Princess” is well-written, easy to read, and has great flow. The characters are completely charming and likable, and there is an instant bond between Rowan and the reader. I was invested in what her fate would be, and the ending provided the expected cliff-hanger that comes with a series of novels. “Scarlet Princess” is a light and fun fantasy read, and it will definitely appeal to fans of Sarah J Maas and authors of her ilk.
