Gone Country (Gone in Love) by Katrina Marie – Review by Carrie Rowland

Gone Country (Cousins Gone #1)Gone Country by Katrina Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gone Country features workaholic Stella Monroe, who has to turn to the small town life in order to earn a promotion. This transition brings challenges for a city girl. Enter love interest Johnny – the attractive local mechanic.

Fans of “Hart of Dixie” (like myself) will love this one. Stella is funny, as are her cousins. The chemistry between Stella and Johnny is exactly what you want. Overall it’s a light-hearted read, and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Something LostSomething Lost by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Something Lost (Funerals and Weddings Series Book 1) by Bernadette Marie was such a fantastic read, I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series. While I am a huge fan of contemporary romance this has quickly become one of my favorites. Ms. Marie’s characters are fabulous, her plot leaves just enough to the imagination to keep you flipping the pages, and her scenery descriptions are beautiful. Ms. Marie’s writing is so beautiful and flows so effortlessly that I read this book in just a couple of hours. Rachel and Craig loved each other a long time ago when they were kids, but now that their paths cross once again as adults what will happen next? You’ll have to read Something Lost for yourself to find out.

The Bow (Her Three Immortals Book 3) by Hazel Storm- Review by Lauren West

The Bow (Her Three Immortals, #3)The Bow by Hazel Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book #3 in the Immortal series, and another hit out the park by Hazel Storm. This steamy Mythological tale is still very spicy, dramatic, unpredictable, and inhabited by the gorgeous Gods. Book 3 allows us to see how Vanessa’s character has truly developed and adapted to the new world around her. She is finally coming into herself and finding her voice with help of her 3 lovers Grey, Raef, and Aroz. As we explore the Underworld, Overworld, and Upperworld we learn more about the Gods, and a forthcoming prophesy as it relates to Vanessa. This book continues the journey of our 4 faves with more plot twists and even more clues that tie the story together. I look forward to book 4!

Kyra is an intern at a turtle conservation center. Dylan is her 10 year older mentor. After finding out poachers are targeting sand dunes, the two begin working very closely together to figure out who the packers are. This book is a clean, sweet romance novel. It’s a very fast read and set in Australia. It’s written in 3rd person which I’m starting to notice a lot of Australian books are.

This is not the first book I have read by this author but it has quickly become one of my favorites. This book drew me in from the start and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. This book took me on a psychological adventure with its twists and turns, suspense, and drama. This story goes back and forth from Poppy’s past and present and comes together seamlessly. This author writes a chilling and original story that kept me turning pages needing to know what happens next. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book.

I was hooked immediately when I started the first book in this series. Three books later, I am even more invested in it. It picks off right where the second book ended and we are thrust into epic quests and even better loves. I love Vanessa, Grey Raef, and Aroz together. This book focuses on the relationship with one of the brothers and his relationship with Vanessa. I devoured the book in no time. I seriously love this series.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Forever Valentine is the sequel to Professor Valentine (Book 1 in Kirk University) by Diana Vale. This age-gap fast-paced novella takes place months after Cassie and Diego have started their relationship. This couple goes through the normal things every relationship goes through, just added a little extra due to them being ex-professor/student plus an ex-wife poking her nose in. Overall this book was good and kept me intrigued but I will say I wish I had read the first book to understand the characters more (which I plan on doing).

WOW, what an amazing installment in the “Her Three Immortals” series. If you haven’t read any of these books, you need to. I was afraid that this would be the end of the series but once I got to the end of this book I realized that it’s not and that there will be another book. And I cannot wait. In my opinion, this story gets better with each installment. And this book, as are the previous books, a fantastic romantic fantasy series filled with action and adventure. I think that this one delved into the romantic story a little more than the previous two books and helped develop the story even more. If you haven’t read this series, I highly recommend you pick it up. Now for me, I must patiently wait for book 4.

When I got to the end if this book I was go glad to find out that it is not the last book. When I saw that I was 90% of the way and there was still so much left to wrap up my heart started stopping. I was so glad to see that Vanessa continues to be a badness in this book and she just continues to grow even more. I loved reading about Aroz in this book and got to know that he isn’t just an asshole. The ending of this book is definitely not fair but I’m glad to know that I don’t have to wait long for the next book to come out. This book was super steamy and original. Each God and mortal has their own problems and different personalities and growth. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book and will be impatiently waiting!!!!

Callie is escaping from an abusive relationship with the help of her neighbor, Jane, and her brother-in-law, CC Chapman (a pilot with Trident Security). Given a chance at a second love, Callie and CC go through many challenges thanks to Callie’s soon-to-be ex husband. They overcome so much heartbreak for two mature people. Though with the help of CC’s friends and coworkers at Trident, they soon kick Brodie’s butt. Through this all, Callie and CC realize that they can talk and work things out and trust each other.

This is a book you must read. I will be reading more of her work.

4 out of 5 stars

Meghan O’Flynn is an author I’ve read and enjoyed in the past so once I saw Deadly Words I knew I needed to read it. Overall, it did not disappoint. I had a little trouble getting into the book at first, I felt a little lost and as if the storyline was slow to pick up. Despite this, the writing was strong and I could already tell I was invested in Poppy as a character. While the book often felt long, it never got to the point where I found myself bored or disinterested. I feel like Meghan O’Flynn had a unique approach to unraveling plot twists and that
kept me engaged. There were several times I read a line that
really stuck out, whether it was description or metaphor it really
showcased the authors talent on many occasions. I’m addition to the author’s unique writing style I liked Poppy’s sense of humor and really hoped that she would see that while some people do bad things, they aren’t always bad and she too deserves good things. I liked Carsen immediately and was happy to see he played such a big role in the storyline. Even though the book was centered on the daughter of a serial killer, i enjoyed the complexities of the characters and the theme of the story itself, even though people are evil, we still have our version of them and our reasons we love. I am happy that this is the start of a new to
me series and I really look forward to reading more in the future.

Something Lost is the first book in the Funerals and Weddings series by Bernadette Marie. This book had my attention from the very first page. The Fab 5 are brought together by their college coach’s funeral, it also brought Craig and Rachel, coach’s daughter, back together. This book had all the feels, and I love the way this author hooks you for the whole series with the fantastic bits of backstory about each of the Fab 5. This was a great read for a fall afternoon, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great romance. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.

Jake the Growling Dog is back in another adventure where he is enjoying life and part of that is walking on the trail he loves to go down everyday, it helps him to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of life in the woods near where he lives. He likes to see what new sights and sounds are around, especially when his best friend Neet is with him, but one day he is walking down his trail when something doesn’t look or smell right and it makes them worry that it is something he might not want to share his trail with.

As Jake and Neet try to figure out what has made the strange tracks on the ground and whether whatever made the tracks is dangerous, their legs start to shake and their minds go spinning until they hear something start to pass by and they get scared and so they go and hide. When they are safe and alone they come out and go home, but the experience has made Jake’s head hurt and when he tried to get to sleep, he had bad dreams, but when his friends Bodhi and Luna come to visit, Jake tells them what happened and how he might not want to share his trail and how it is making him feel when he thinks about it.

Will Bodhi, Luna, Jake and Neet be able to work together to figure out the mystery of the new tracks and smell on the trail, or will their fears get the better of them? This is a beautifully written story about sharing, facing fears and not being afraid of something new and different which can be enjoyed by adults and children alike with some excellent activities at the end around the themes contained in the story.

Cassie and Diego are having a romance of the ages. She’s younger than him. He also comes with the baggage of a drug-addled ex-wife. If you like spicy, there’s some in here that will cause steam on your glasses. The characters are pretty well-written. Some of his brothers sounded like overgrown children. Her friends just sounded like silly students shrinking everyone against the female brain. There was a lot of action and noise on the pages which made it hard to follow the story at times. Overall, I would recommend it.

It all starts with a few bottles of vodka and bright red hair. What an adventure. I swear I was watching a tv show, not reading a book. The writers are immaculate at what they do. I truly cannot put into words how excited and anxious I am to read the second book. This series could become my new favorite, and that is saying something considering how much I adore Harry Potter.

Rowan is perfect. Her personality is so bubbly that you cannot help but love her, even though she might be a little over the top. And for her to find someone that has the exact opposite personality, it is really curious how they got along so well. I want to re-read this right after finishing it because I want to find out what I missed while reading it the first time. Maybe I am a little obsessed, but that’s okay, right?

I never hesitate to pick up anything by this author and I’m pretty sure this is going to the top of my favorites list. The twists and turns had me turning the pages till the end. This is one of those stories that will stay with you long after you’re finished. I’ve been trying to come up with the best words to describe it for hours and nothing comes close. This author does a phenomenal job at creating these stories that grab ahold of you and don’t let you go. I closed my eyes several times while reading and could picture very vividly what she was describing. This is a fantastic thriller about Poppy. Her had is in prison for the rest of his life. Poppy is now grown and living her best life as a Chiropractor that is until things start happening. A stranger shows up on her door step claiming he’s being stalked. Who is it?

Spooked By A Suspicion is the stand alone follow up to Swallowed By A Secret by Risa Nyman. I hadn’t read the first book or anything by this author but the blurb intrigued me and I decided to give it a go. I also didn’t realise that this is a young adult book but that didn’t stop me from getting really engrossed in Rocky’s story from the very first chapter.
Rocky is determined to stop his mum remarrying. He just doesn’t lie or trust Ted. To many coincidental things happen to Rocky around Ted and Rocky thinks there’s something sinister going on.
While trying to prove that Ted is up to no good, Rocky is accused of stealing. So now he has to clear his name as well as get evidence that Ted is up to no good.
I really enjoyed reading Rocky’s story. He’s a great character that I could have read about for hours. I just love his over active imagination. No wonder he’s such an amazing young writer.
I really enjoyed reading about the secondary characters, mostly a bunch of teenagers. They really add so much to the story and make this book such an enjoyable read.

This author can write some horrific stories and this one is no exception. We step into the life of a psychotic who is living a normal-ish life. This is written in the past and present and told by his daughter. Both tenses were weaved in to make the stony blend and give us tidbits at a time.

My biggest issue is there were many avenues that were alluded to that just didn’t feel closed at the end of the book. It could be my fault..I might have missed a lot. Its an okay book with twists and turns but not the thrill ride I expected.
