Listening Length – 12 hours and 35 minutes
Narrated by: Patrice C. Smith
Cover Designer – Scott Carpenter
Desperate to shake memories that stalk him like feral beasts, Richard Winters points his motorcycle toward the highway and twists the throttle—destination anywhere but New York. By the time he puts his kickstand down, he’s in Summitville, North Carolina, where, with a few annoying exceptions, one being an outlaw MC, he’s left alone.
Except there’s one woman who catches his notice and resurrects the protective instinct that cost him everything once before. A woman with stunning green eyes that haunt his dreams, and facing prejudice that makes him want to rise to her defense. But that would mean doing the last thing he wants to do—lower his guard.
Noémie Bellerose has heard times are changing, but in 1968 North Carolina, she and her younger brother are second-class citizens. The new bartender in town is temptation on two wheels, but in what world could the two of them connect? Not this one.
Despite their best intentions to avoid trouble, trouble finds them both—and so does an attraction that won’t be denied. But can love bloom where it is planted, or will they be forced to resort to desperate measures…before hate cuts them down?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! Where do I even start? I read this on a whim to step outside of my usual thriller genre, and I’m so glad I did! The story is well written, flows beautifully, and captures your attention right from the beginning. Rowan is such a realistic character that you can look up to; it’s impossible not to like her. I genuinely look forward to reading the next book!

I love a good historical fiction and especially love a heroine with spunk. And this book hit all of the right notes for me. And then to uncover this world and find that it beautifully sets up a series. My only complaint is that I don’t have the rest of this series in my hands to read this minute. Just a beautifully crafted story from two new-to-me authors. Can’t wait to read more!

McKinley is a must read author. Period. I keep wondering how she is going to continue to up the ante. And yet somehow she does – every single freaking time. I’ve come to expect gripping romantic suspense. This foray into the world of the mafia – left me utterly breathless. From the very first chapter I knew this book would be an amazing emotional adventure. And boy was I right. Loved every single page and I cannot wait to see how this series continues.

No Way Out: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #1) by Amy McKinley

This is another fantastic read by McKinley. This new series has me sitting on the edge of my seat. No Way Out is the first book in the Mafia Elite Series. Liliana and Max will have you loving them.

Liliana is Benito’s daughter. She wants to get out and there is only one way to do that. When she meets Mattel she knows that he wouldn’t hurt her. The quote I chose for Liliana is: “And who will protect you? Because when he comes for you, and he will, you’ll wish you were dead.”

Max aka Matteo is Antonio’s eldest son who everyone thinks is dead. What they don’t know is he’s very much alive and looking for revenge. Liliana was part of that plan until he fell in love with her. The quote I chose for Matteo is: “From the first moment I saw your picture, I couldn’t stop thinking about you. You haunted my dreams. The stories your grandfather told made you come alive in ways I can’t explain. I grew up around people who were lucky enough to find the love of a lifetime. They would die for each other. I want the same with you.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Suspense lovers.

Cady, a young up and coming lawyer finds herself front and centre involved in a serious crime scene. The tables are quickly turned, and Cady is now answering hiring herself a lawyer. While I think this book has potential, the character development is lacking and I found the characters unrelatable. I can see the great crime story the author is trying to portray, however the book itself felt unfinished and jumped around too much. Lacking a lot of details that would normally allow me to relate to characters.

No Way Out by Amy McKinley was a pleasant surprise. I don’t believe I have read Mafia Romances before and found out I really liked the concept. There is something intriguing about rooting for the “bad guys” that makes the story more captivating.

Lily wants a way out of her father’s prison. She can tell there is something going down and wants to get a head of the game. She puts her trust into a new face and follows her instincts.

This book has unexpected twists and turns and is a great kick off to a new series.

This is a short romance fairytale that I enjoyed from beginning to end. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by them yet. This is a well written story that has characters that not only bring the story to life but also keep me turning pages to the end. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start as well as kept engaged. I enjoyed watching the growth of the plot throughout the story. This is a story that took me on an adventure of grewlling creatures, fancy balls and what happens at midnight could change things for everyone. I really enjoyed this story and the author’s use of details to give the story the pop of romance and fairytales. This is a great story that is worth the pick up. I highly recommend this book.

Dating the It Guy by Krysten Lindsay Hager – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Dating the It GuyDating the It Guy by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I must say, this book was captivating, and a good story for us all to read in my humble opinion but the added aspects certainty were a nice addition. As I am a person who lives and swears by my tarot cards, horoscopes, as well as my crystals I found the main character Emme more relatable than just her fragile heart, but also by the choices and things she chooses to rely on for life related decisions!

Emme was a girl who I think all of us can find some form of a relation to in some form or one way. For starters if you are not in the right click of high school, it can literally be a battle field every day from the moment you step through there. Believe me I was the science theater nerd I have been there in more ways than one. Emme gets dumped hurt and cheated on. Again, relation to past experiences are strong in the cards I am drawing here haha.

Throw in the most amazing hearted as well as popular guy in school, well Emme needs to think wit her heart more than just what her tarot cards can tell her perhaps? She is felt as an outcast and has some things going on. Her new boyfriend seems so out of her league to her, that she feels she is just not meant to be his. All signs are pointing its not to work out as she is not worth it to him. Perhaps though she is in all honesty? If she follows her heart rather than the signs she sees, where will her path lead her?

Personally I had a lot of fun reading this novel. It was far from traditional in reading a teen romance, which I truly loved. Emme was wonderful and so was Mr. Popular, Brendan. I loved how there was more to the story than just their relationship, but also a lot of outside factors as well! It made the book a fun and engaging read in more ways than one! And my personal crystals did not need to tell me that!

The book was a wonderful read, and I feel any adult or teen would benefit from reading this. Sometimes when you feel you are not enough, you truly are though! Sometimes true beauty and awesomeness is in the eye of the beholder and truly can be more than you see yourself as! I loved this book from start to finish and I m so glad I got to read it! I highly recommend you pick up a copy, read it, and of course enjoy!

Whisper Creek: A Logan McKenna Mystery by Valerie Davisson is the seventh book in the Logan McKenna series. This is a series that really does need to be read in order as it follows the same main characters all the way through. This book is yet another great addition to this series. Immediately you are pulled right back into Logan and her world. It is always so good to pick up where you left off with her, and so easy to go fall into the rhythm of the story.
I honestly don’t know how the author does it. Even seven books into the series and she still keeps everyone of them as fresh and new as the first. For me I think it shows the strength of her writing that I am just as excited about the seventh book as I am all the others. This is a great story that I would recommend.

This is book seven in the ‘Logan McKenna Mystery’ series and having read and enjoyed all of the previous books I was looking forward to this latest novel and was not disappointed. It was great being back with the heroine of the stories, Logan, who now feels like an old friend. Logan and Ben our now engaged and Logan has made an unexpectedly profitable music video with the help of her students, which has gone viral. Whilst visiting Oregon on a consulting gig Logan is distracted worrying that the video and the money will effect her relationship with Ben, but she soon has other things to worry about when she stumbles upon a dead body.

When her friends turn out to be the prime suspects, Logan investigates to protect them and discover the true murderer. However with four suspects, endless motives, false accusations and a web of lies Logan has her work cut out to discover the truth and prevent further killings. As usual this is a real page turner which had me hooked from page one. The exciting storyline has plenty of plot twists that kept me guessing until the end. I love Logan and she is a great main character who is very relatable and who really brings the story together. I like the dynamic between her and Ben and the romance element this brings to the story. This is a suspenseful story which had me happily turning the pages well into the night, and I definitely recommend this engaging and enjoyable read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my this was so, so, so, good! I really enjoy just about everything that I have read from Ms. Lewandowski so when I saw the gorgeous teasers from Saratoga Roan on my feed I knew without a doubt that I needed this story in my life ASAP, so I one-clicked and dove right on it without a single hesitation. I was instantly swept away by this second chance love story and very real and raw portrayal of what it is like to live and survive the trials of watching someone we love and care for deteriorate before our eyes as well. Almost a reverse love story as well. As children we grow up and with a veil over our eyes shielding us from the pain that will come when our parents will inevitably be older and someday no longer be who they once were. In this case we see Rhett’s struggle with his father and Alzheimer’s, a devastating condition that had to be difficult to write about but Lewandowski did with such grace and a passion that was evident with every word. I was numbed with sadness and yet soothed with the romance that was at play too. This is a book that you don’t want to miss and one that I would be happy to re-read for sure. I can’t wait to see what will come next from Bree M. Lewandowski!

This is the seventh book in the Logan McKenna series and they just keep getting better and better. I have read these books from the first one and it’s been amazing to see Logan blossom and transform throughout the series.
Logan’s life seems to be on an even keel now. Her job is going well, she is engaged to Ben and everything seems good in the world. However trouble always seems to find Logan.

Firstly a video her student makes of her music goes viral making her a wealthy woman, but Logan is concerned about how this will affect her relationship with Ben. Will he be supportive or will it come between them

Secondly on her trip for work she stumbles across a dead body. With her friends looking like the prime suspects she now needs to use her skills as an investigator to solve this case before the murderer strikes again.

This book is action packed and has so much depth with the relationships Logan has with Ben and her friends. You get dragged into Logan’s world and you aren’t let go until the end. I can’t wait to see what will happen next

Unsettled Scores by Kel O’Connor – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Unsettled Scores (DAG Team #2)Unsettled Scores by Kel O’Connor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unsettled Scores by Kel O’ Connor is book 2 in the DAG Team Series. Amy Stuart has been estranged from her family for three years since the death of her sister Audrey, something that she blames herself for. After her sister’s abduction and death, Amy sets her sights on the drug lord responsible and swears to get revenge on him. When she is hired by lawyer Hugh Bainbridge IV to investigate who is smuggling drugs into his mother’s charity Amy is brought face-to-face with her arch nemesis. Amy now has the chance to fulfill the revenge she has been carefully planning for the past three years.

What Amy never expected was to fall for Hugh, a good-looking lawyer who dresses in sweatpants and is like nobody that she has ever met before. Hugh also finds himself falling for the feisty, strong-willed, and intelligent Amy. As Amy closes in on the drug lord who killed her sister, she finds herself forced to choose between love for Hugh, and revenge for her sister Audrey’s death. Which will she choose?

Unsettled Scores is a real page turner. It is very well written, and the characters are ones you find yourself drawn to. I found myself intrigued by Amy and I admired her strength, resilience, and courage in the face of danger. Although Amy was strong, she also had moments of weakness which made her more likable because the reader could see that Amy was human and that not everyone can be strong all the time. This book is a must read.

Saratoga RoanSaratoga Roan by Bree M. Lewandowski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I truly loved this book and how much it pulled at my heart strings, it not only made me feel a lot of emotions, but got me thinking on my own personal life, sometimes you lose something dear, but does lightening strike in the same spot twice? If you lost something but that bolt of lightening hit again would you embrace it or this time truly lose it forever?

Cassandra and Rhett had a good relationship from what I understood of their past. Cassandra ended things, and may have basically hurt Rhett when he needed her the most out of anyone he knew. It seemed she had put his heart more into darkness than he already was. Years go by and a surprise meeting of them spending time together makes them re surface. Can years of hard feelings be put aside or will they truly consume anything they once had? In truth something I believe they both realized, just because something is lost maybe, just maybe its not truly gone forever?

There was so much to this amazing book aside from just Cassandra and Rhett’s story. The characters surrounding them really brought everything going on to life in more ways than one! The story was real and so was all the emotional tolls of pain and sufferings, to happy and wonderful feelings, to tears I shed for the characters and how those characters affected others. The book was more than just a good read, it was a must read for me. I loved the work by this author how they completely sucked me in and made me feel well basically everything possible among these wonderful characters I read about!

All in all, this was an amazing book and I truly cherished every moment I read in this very engaging story. The author completely took my soul and made me on the same land as the characters I so very much connected with. It was beautiful from start to finish. I highly recommend reading this true treasure!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There are so many good things that I could say about this book! The first book in the Funerals and Weddings series by Bernadette Marie, Something Lost is a great start to what I assume will be a fantastic series!

When his college basketball coach dies from illness, Craig Turner goes to his funeral and reconnects with multiple people from his past, including the coach’s daughter Rachel. Ten years had passed since he had seen her last, but the chemistry between them proves to be strong as ever as they reconnect over the span of the book.

One of the things that I loved about the book was the focus on mental illness. It was interesting to see just how much mental illness can impact a family. I hope that the future books in the series also focus a bit on mental illness, because the author did a very good job at making the reader relate to and understand what the characters were going through.
